[ Upstream commit 0213b7083e81f4acd69db32cb72eb4e5f220329a ]

Now cpu.uclamp.min acts as a protection, we need to make sure that the
uclamp request of the task is within the allowed range of the cgroup,
that is it is clamp()'ed correctly by tg-&gt;uclamp[UCLAMP_MIN] and
tg-&gt;uclamp[UCLAMP_MAX].

As reported by Xuewen [1] we can have some corner cases where there's
inversion between uclamp requested by task (p) and the uclamp values of
the taskgroup it's attached to (tg). Following table demonstrates
2 corner cases:

	           |  p  |  tg  |  effective
	-----------+-----+------+-----------
	CASE 1
	-----------+-----+------+-----------
	uclamp_min | 60% | 0%   |  60%
	-----------+-----+------+-----------
	uclamp_max | 80% | 50%  |  50%
	-----------+-----+------+-----------
	CASE 2
	-----------+-----+------+-----------
	uclamp_min | 0%  | 30%  |  30%
	-----------+-----+------+-----------
	uclamp_max | 20% | 50%  |  20%
	-----------+-----+------+-----------

With this fix we get:

	           |  p  |  tg  |  effective
	-----------+-----+------+-----------
	CASE 1
	-----------+-----+------+-----------
	uclamp_min | 60% | 0%   |  50%
	-----------+-----+------+-----------
	uclamp_max | 80% | 50%  |  50%
	-----------+-----+------+-----------
	CASE 2
	-----------+-----+------+-----------
	uclamp_min | 0%  | 30%  |  30%
	-----------+-----+------+-----------
	uclamp_max | 20% | 50%  |  30%
	-----------+-----+------+-----------

Additionally uclamp_update_active_tasks() must now unconditionally
update both UCLAMP_MIN/MAX because changing the tg's UCLAMP_MAX for
instance could have an impact on the effective UCLAMP_MIN of the tasks.

[ Upstream commit 93b73858701fd01de26a4a874eb95f9b7156fd4b ]

cpu_cgroup_css_online() calls cpu_util_update_eff() without holding the
uclamp_mutex or rcu_read_lock() like other call sites, which is
a mistake.

The uclamp_mutex is required to protect against concurrent reads and
writes that could update the cgroup hierarchy.

The rcu_read_lock() is required to traverse the cgroup data structures
in cpu_util_update_eff().

Surround the caller with the required locks and add some asserts to
better document the dependency in cpu_util_update_eff().

[ Upstream commit 0c18f2ecfcc274a4bcc1d122f79ebd4001c3b445 ]

cpu.uclamp.min is a protection as described in cgroup-v2 Resource
Distribution Model

	Documentation/admin-guide/cgroup-v2.rst

which means we try our best to preserve the minimum performance point of
tasks in this group. See full description of cpu.uclamp.min in the
cgroup-v2.rst.

But the current implementation makes it a limit, which is not what was
intended.

For example:

	tg-&gt;cpu.uclamp.min = 20%

	p0-&gt;uclamp[UCLAMP_MIN] = 0
	p1-&gt;uclamp[UCLAMP_MIN] = 50%

	Previous Behavior (limit):

		p0-&gt;effective_uclamp = 0
		p1-&gt;effective_uclamp = 20%

	New Behavior (Protection):

		p0-&gt;effective_uclamp = 20%
		p1-&gt;effective_uclamp = 50%

Which is inline with how protections should work.

With this change the cgroup and per-task behaviors are the same, as
expected.

Additionally, we remove the confusing relationship between cgroup and
!user_defined flag.

We don't want for example RT tasks that are boosted by default to max to
change their boost value when they attach to a cgroup. If a cgroup wants
to limit the max performance point of tasks attached to it, then
cpu.uclamp.max must be set accordingly.

Or if they want to set different boost value based on cgroup, then
sysctl_sched_util_clamp_min_rt_default must be used to NOT boost to max
and set the right cpu.uclamp.min for each group to let the RT tasks
obtain the desired boost value when attached to that group.

As it stands the dependency on !user_defined flag adds an extra layer of
complexity that is not required now cpu.uclamp.min behaves properly as
a protection.

The propagation model of effective cpu.uclamp.min in child cgroups as
implemented by cpu_util_update_eff() is still correct. The parent
protection sets an upper limit of what the child cgroups will
effectively get.

[ Upstream commit 6d2f8909a5fabb73fe2a63918117943986c39b6c ]

Util-clamp places tasks in different buckets based on their clamp values
for performance reasons. However, the size of buckets is currently
computed using a rounding division, which can lead to an off-by-one
error in some configurations.

For instance, with 20 buckets, the bucket size will be 1024/20=51. A
task with a clamp of 1024 will be mapped to bucket id 1024/51=20. Sadly,
correct indexes are in range [0,19], hence leading to an out of bound
memory access.

Clamp the bucket id to fix the issue.

[ Upstream commit 156ec6f42b8d300dbbf382738ff35c8bad8f4c3a ]

Hung tasks and RCU stall cases were reported on systems which were not
100% busy. Investigation of such unexpected cases (no sign of potential
starvation caused by tasks hogging the system) pointed out that the
periodic sched tick timer wasn't serviced anymore after a certain point
and that caused all machinery that depends on it (timers, RCU, etc.) to
stop working as well. This issues was however only reproducible if
HRTICK was enabled.

Looking at core dumps it was found that the rbtree of the hrtimer base
used also for the hrtick was corrupted (i.e. next as seen from the base
root and actual leftmost obtained by traversing the tree are different).
Same base is also used for periodic tick hrtimer, which might get "lost"
if the rbtree gets corrupted.

Much alike what described in commit 1f71addd34f4c ("tick/sched: Do not
mess with an enqueued hrtimer") there is a race window between
hrtimer_set_expires() in hrtick_start and hrtimer_start_expires() in
__hrtick_restart() in which the former might be operating on an already
queued hrtick hrtimer, which might lead to corruption of the base.

Use hrtick_start() (which removes the timer before enqueuing it back) to
ensure hrtick hrtimer reprogramming is entirely guarded by the base
lock, so that no race conditions can occur.

[ Upstream commit 345a957fcc95630bf5535d7668a59ed983eb49a7 ]

do_sched_yield() invokes schedule() with interrupts disabled which is
not allowed. This goes back to the pre git era to commit a6efb709806c
("[PATCH] irqlock patch 2.5.27-H6") in the history tree.

Reenable interrupts and remove the misleading comment which "explains" it.

Commit:

  765cc3a4b224e ("sched/core: Optimize sched_feat() for !CONFIG_SCHED_DEBUG builds")

made sched features static for !CONFIG_SCHED_DEBUG configurations, but
overlooked the CONFIG_SCHED_DEBUG=y and !CONFIG_JUMP_LABEL cases.

For the latter echoing changes to /sys/kernel/debug/sched_features has
the nasty effect of effectively changing what sched_features reports,
but without actually changing the scheduler behaviour (since different
translation units get different sysctl_sched_features).

Fix CONFIG_SCHED_DEBUG=y and !CONFIG_JUMP_LABEL configurations by properly
restructuring ifdefs.

[ Upstream commit 62849a9612924a655c67cf6962920544aa5c20db ]

The kernel test robot triggered a warning with the following race:
   task-ctx A                            interrupt-ctx B

  -&gt; process_one_work()

               atomic_dec_and_test(nr_running)
         __schedule();                *interrupt*
                                       async_page_fault()
                                       -&gt; local_irq_enable();
                                       -&gt; schedule();
                                          -&gt; sched_submit_work()
                                            -&gt; wq_worker_sleeping()
                                               -&gt; if (WARN_ON(-&gt;sleeping)) return
                                          -&gt; __schedule()
                                            -&gt;  sched_update_worker()
                                              -&gt; wq_worker_running()
                                                 -&gt; atomic_inc(nr_running);
                                                 -&gt; -&gt;sleeping = 0;

      -&gt;  sched_update_worker()
        -&gt; wq_worker_running()
          if (!-&gt;sleeping) return

In this context the warning is pointless everything is fine.
An interrupt before wq_worker_sleeping() will perform the -&gt;sleeping
assignment (0 -&gt; 1 &gt; 0) twice.
An interrupt after wq_worker_sleeping() will trigger the warning and
nr_running will be decremented (by A) and incremented once (only by B, A
will skip it). This is the case until the -&gt;sleeping is zeroed again in
wq_worker_running().

Remove the WARN statement because this condition may happen. Document
that preemption around wq_worker_sleeping() needs to be disabled to
protect -&gt;sleeping and not just as an optimisation.

[ Upstream commit 46609ce227039fd192e0ecc7d940bed587fd2c78 ]

There is a report that when uclamp is enabled, a netperf UDP test
regresses compared to a kernel compiled without uclamp.

https://lore.kernel.org/lkml/20200529100806.GA3070@suse.de/

While investigating the root cause, there were no sign that the uclamp
code is doing anything particularly expensive but could suffer from bad
cache behavior under certain circumstances that are yet to be
understood.

https://lore.kernel.org/lkml/20200616110824.dgkkbyapn3io6wik@e107158-lin/

To reduce the pressure on the fast path anyway, add a static key that is
by default will skip executing uclamp logic in the
enqueue/dequeue_task() fast path until it's needed.

As soon as the user start using util clamp by:

	1. Changing uclamp value of a task with sched_setattr()
	2. Modifying the default sysctl_sched_util_clamp_{min, max}
	3. Modifying the default cpu.uclamp.{min, max} value in cgroup

We flip the static key now that the user has opted to use util clamp.
Effectively re-introducing uclamp logic in the enqueue/dequeue_task()
fast path. It stays on from that point forward until the next reboot.

This should help minimize the effect of util clamp on workloads that
don't need it but still allow distros to ship their kernels with uclamp
compiled in by default.

SCHED_WARN_ON() in uclamp_rq_dec_id() was removed since now we can end
up with unbalanced call to uclamp_rq_dec_id() if we flip the key while
a task is running in the rq. Since we know it is harmless we just
quietly return if we attempt a uclamp_rq_dec_id() when
rq-&gt;uclamp[].bucket[].tasks is 0.

In schedutil, we introduce a new uclamp_is_enabled() helper which takes
the static key into account to ensure RT boosting behavior is retained.

The following results demonstrates how this helps on 2 Sockets Xeon E5
2x10-Cores system.

[ Upstream commit 46609ce227039fd192e0ecc7d940bed587fd2c78 ]

There is a report that when uclamp is enabled, a netperf UDP test
regresses compared to a kernel compiled without uclamp.

https://lore.kernel.org/lkml/20200529100806.GA3070@suse.de/

While investigating the root cause, there were no sign that the uclamp
code is doing anything particularly expensive but could suffer from bad
cache behavior under certain circumstances that are yet to be
understood.

https://lore.kernel.org/lkml/20200616110824.dgkkbyapn3io6wik@e107158-lin/

To reduce the pressure on the fast path anyway, add a static key that is
by default will skip executing uclamp logic in the
enqueue/dequeue_task() fast path until it's needed.

As soon as the user start using util clamp by:

	1. Changing uclamp value of a task with sched_setattr()
	2. Modifying the default sysctl_sched_util_clamp_{min, max}
	3. Modifying the default cpu.uclamp.{min, max} value in cgroup

We flip the static key now that the user has opted to use util clamp.
Effectively re-introducing uclamp logic in the enqueue/dequeue_task()
fast path. It stays on from that point forward until the next reboot.

This should help minimize the effect of util clamp on workloads that
don't need it but still allow distros to ship their kernels with uclamp
compiled in by default.

SCHED_WARN_ON() in uclamp_rq_dec_id() was removed since now we can end
up with unbalanced call to uclamp_rq_dec_id() if we flip the key while
a task is running in the rq. Since we know it is harmless we just
quietly return if we attempt a uclamp_rq_dec_id() when
rq-&gt;uclamp[].bucket[].tasks is 0.

In schedutil, we introduce a new uclamp_is_enabled() helper which takes
the static key into account to ensure RT boosting behavior is retained.

The following results demonstrates how this helps on 2 Sockets Xeon E5
2x10-Cores system.
