[ Upstream commit 2679a83731d51a744657f718fc02c3b077e47562 ]

When we use raw_spin_rq_lock() to acquire the rq lock and have to
update the rq clock while holding the lock, the kernel may issue
a WARN_DOUBLE_CLOCK warning.

Since we directly use raw_spin_rq_lock() to acquire rq lock instead of
rq_lock(), there is no corresponding change to rq-&gt;clock_update_flags.
In particular, we have obtained the rq lock of other CPUs, the
rq-&gt;clock_update_flags of this CPU may be RQCF_UPDATED at this time, and
then calling update_rq_clock() will trigger the WARN_DOUBLE_CLOCK warning.

So we need to clear RQCF_UPDATED of rq-&gt;clock_update_flags to avoid
the WARN_DOUBLE_CLOCK warning.

For the sched_rt_period_timer() and migrate_task_rq_dl() cases
we simply replace raw_spin_rq_lock()/raw_spin_rq_unlock() with
rq_lock()/rq_unlock().

For the {pull,push}_{rt,dl}_task() cases, we add the
double_rq_clock_clear_update() function to clear RQCF_UPDATED of
rq-&gt;clock_update_flags, and call double_rq_clock_clear_update()
before double_lock_balance()/double_rq_lock() returns to avoid the
WARN_DOUBLE_CLOCK warning.

<title>sched/rt: Plug rt_mutex_setprio() vs push_rt_task() race</title>

[ Upstream commit 49bef33e4b87b743495627a529029156c6e09530 ]

John reported that push_rt_task() can end up invoking
find_lowest_rq(rq-&gt;curr) when curr is not an RT task (in this case a CFS
one), which causes mayhem down convert_prio().

This can happen when current gets demoted to e.g. CFS when releasing an
rt_mutex, and the local CPU gets hit with an rto_push_work irqwork before
getting the chance to reschedule. Exactly who triggers this work isn't
entirely clear to me - switched_from_rt() only invokes rt_queue_pull_task()
if there are no RT tasks on the local RQ, which means the local CPU can't
be in the rto_mask.

My current suspected sequence is something along the lines of the below,
with the demoted task being current.

  mark_wakeup_next_waiter()
    rt_mutex_adjust_prio()
      rt_mutex_setprio() // deboost originally-CFS task
	check_class_changed()
	  switched_from_rt() // Only rt_queue_pull_task() if !rq-&gt;rt.rt_nr_running
	  switched_to_fair() // Sets need_resched
      __balance_callbacks() // if pull_rt_task(), tell_cpu_to_push() can't select local CPU per the above
      raw_spin_rq_unlock(rq)

       // need_resched is set, so task_woken_rt() can't
       // invoke push_rt_tasks(). Best I can come up with is
       // local CPU has rt_nr_migratory &gt;= 2 after the demotion, so stays
       // in the rto_mask, and then:

       &lt;some other CPU running rto_push_irq_work_func() queues rto_push_work on this CPU&gt;
	 push_rt_task()
	   // breakage follows here as rq-&gt;curr is CFS

Move an existing check to check rq-&gt;curr vs the next pushable task's
priority before getting anywhere near find_lowest_rq(). While at it, add an
explicit sched_class of rq-&gt;curr check prior to invoking
find_lowest_rq(rq-&gt;curr). Align the DL logic to also reschedule regardless
of next_task's migratability.

<title>sched/dl: Support schedstats for deadline sched class</title>

<id>b5eb4a5f6521d58d5564b8746701bd67a92a2b11</id>
<content type='text'>
After we make the struct sched_statistics and the helpers of it
independent of fair sched class, we can easily use the schedstats
facility for deadline sched class.

The schedstat usage in DL sched class is similar with fair sched class,
for example,
                    fair                        deadline
    enqueue         update_stats_enqueue_fair   update_stats_enqueue_dl
    dequeue         update_stats_dequeue_fair   update_stats_dequeue_dl
    put_prev_task   update_stats_wait_start     update_stats_wait_start_dl
    set_next_task   update_stats_wait_end       update_stats_wait_end_dl

The user can get the schedstats information in the same way in fair sched
class. For example,
           fair                            deadline
           /proc/[pid]/sched               /proc/[pid]/sched

The output of a deadline task's schedstats as follows,

After we make the struct sched_statistics and the helpers of it
independent of fair sched class, we can easily use the schedstats
facility for deadline sched class.

The schedstat usage in DL sched class is similar with fair sched class,
for example,
                    fair                        deadline
    enqueue         update_stats_enqueue_fair   update_stats_enqueue_dl
    dequeue         update_stats_dequeue_fair   update_stats_dequeue_dl
    put_prev_task   update_stats_wait_start     update_stats_wait_start_dl
    set_next_task   update_stats_wait_end       update_stats_wait_end_dl

The user can get the schedstats information in the same way in fair sched
class. For example,
           fair                            deadline
           /proc/[pid]/sched               /proc/[pid]/sched

The output of a deadline task's schedstats as follows,

The runtime of a DL task has already been there, so we only need to
add a tracepoint.

One difference between fair task and DL task is that there is no vruntime
in dl task. To reuse the sched_stat_runtime tracepoint, '0' is passed as
vruntime for DL task.

The output of this tracepoint for DL task as follows,
             top-36462   [047] d.h.  6083.452103: sched_stat_runtime: comm=top pid=36462 runtime=409898 [ns] vruntime=0 [ns]

<title>sched: Make struct sched_statistics independent of fair sched class</title>

<id>ceeadb83aea28372e54857bf88ab7e17af48ab7b</id>
<content type='text'>
If we want to use the schedstats facility to trace other sched classes, we
should make it independent of fair sched class. The struct sched_statistics
is the schedular statistics of a task_struct or a task_group. So we can
move it into struct task_struct and struct task_group to achieve the goal.

After the patch, schestats are orgnized as follows,

    struct task_struct {
       ...
       struct sched_entity se;
       struct sched_rt_entity rt;
       struct sched_dl_entity dl;
       ...
       struct sched_statistics stats;
       ...
   };

Regarding the task group, schedstats is only supported for fair group
sched, and a new struct sched_entity_stats is introduced, suggested by
Peter -

    struct sched_entity_stats {
        struct sched_entity     se;
        struct sched_statistics stats;
    } __no_randomize_layout;

Then with the se in a task_group, we can easily get the stats.

The sched_statistics members may be frequently modified when schedstats is
enabled, in order to avoid impacting on random data which may in the same
cacheline with them, the struct sched_statistics is defined as cacheline
aligned.

As this patch changes the core struct of scheduler, so I verified the
performance it may impact on the scheduler with 'perf bench sched
pipe', suggested by Mel. Below is the result, in which all the values
are in usecs/op.
                                  Before               After
      kernel.sched_schedstats=0  5.2~5.4               5.2~5.4
      kernel.sched_schedstats=1  5.3~5.5               5.3~5.5
[These data is a little difference with the earlier version, that is
 because my old test machine is destroyed so I have to use a new
 different test machine.]

Almost no impact on the sched performance.

No functional change.

<title>sched/deadline: Fix reset_on_fork reporting of DL tasks</title>

<id>f95091536f78971b269ec321b057b8d630b0ad8a</id>
<content type='text'>
It is possible for sched_getattr() to incorrectly report the state of
the reset_on_fork flag when called on a deadline task.

Indeed, if the flag was set on a deadline task using sched_setattr()
with flags (SCHED_FLAG_RESET_ON_FORK | SCHED_FLAG_KEEP_PARAMS), then
p-&gt;sched_reset_on_fork will be set, but __setscheduler() will bail out
early, which means that the dl_se-&gt;flags will not get updated by
__setscheduler_params()-&gt;__setparam_dl(). Consequently, if
sched_getattr() is then called on the task, __getparam_dl() will
override kattr.sched_flags with the now out-of-date copy in dl_se-&gt;flags
and report the stale value to userspace.

To fix this, make sure to only copy the flags that are relevant to
sched_deadline to and from the dl_se-&gt;flags field.

It is possible for sched_getattr() to incorrectly report the state of
the reset_on_fork flag when called on a deadline task.

Indeed, if the flag was set on a deadline task using sched_setattr()
with flags (SCHED_FLAG_RESET_ON_FORK | SCHED_FLAG_KEEP_PARAMS), then
p-&gt;sched_reset_on_fork will be set, but __setscheduler() will bail out
early, which means that the dl_se-&gt;flags will not get updated by
__setscheduler_params()-&gt;__setparam_dl(). Consequently, if
sched_getattr() is then called on the task, __getparam_dl() will
override kattr.sched_flags with the now out-of-date copy in dl_se-&gt;flags
and report the stale value to userspace.

To fix this, make sure to only copy the flags that are relevant to
sched_deadline to and from the dl_se-&gt;flags field.

DL keeps track of the utilization on a per-rq basis with the structure
avg_dl. This utilization is updated during task_tick_dl(),
put_prev_task_dl() and set_next_task_dl(). However, when the current
running task changes its policy, set_next_task_dl() which would usually
take care of updating the utilization when the rq starts running DL
tasks, will not see a such change, leaving the avg_dl structure outdated.
When that very same task will be dequeued later, put_prev_task_dl() will
then update the utilization, based on a wrong last_update_time, leading to
a huge spike in the DL utilization signal.

The signal would eventually recover from this issue after few ms. Even
if no DL tasks are run, avg_dl is also updated in
__update_blocked_others(). But as the CPU capacity depends partly on the
avg_dl, this issue has nonetheless a significant impact on the scheduler.

Fix this issue by ensuring a load update when a running task changes
its policy to DL.

Change the type and name of task_struct::state. Drop the volatile and
shrink it to an 'unsigned int'. Rename it in order to find all uses
such that we can use READ_ONCE/WRITE_ONCE as appropriate.

Because sched_class::pick_next_task() also implies
sched_class::set_next_task() (and possibly put_prev_task() and
newidle_balance) it is not state invariant. This makes it unsuitable
for remote task selection.
