commit 5e2d2cc2588bd3307ce3937acbc2ed03c830a861 upstream.

do_sched_cfs_period_timer() will refill cfs_b runtime and call
distribute_cfs_runtime to unthrottle cfs_rq, sometimes cfs_b-&gt;runtime
will allocate all quota to one cfs_rq incorrectly, then other cfs_rqs
attached to this cfs_b can't get runtime and will be throttled.

We find that one throttled cfs_rq has non-negative
cfs_rq-&gt;runtime_remaining and cause an unexpetced cast from s64 to u64
in snippet:

  distribute_cfs_runtime() {
    runtime = -cfs_rq-&gt;runtime_remaining + 1;
  }

The runtime here will change to a large number and consume all
cfs_b-&gt;runtime in this cfs_b period.

According to Ben Segall, the throttled cfs_rq can have
account_cfs_rq_runtime called on it because it is throttled before
idle_balance, and the idle_balance calls update_rq_clock to add time
that is accounted to the task.

This commit prevents cfs_rq to be assgined new runtime if it has been
throttled until that distribute_cfs_runtime is called.

commit cb361d8cdef69990f6b4504dc1fd9a594d983c97 upstream.

The old code used RCU annotations and accessors inconsistently for
-&gt;numa_group, which can lead to use-after-frees and NULL dereferences.

Let all accesses to -&gt;numa_group use proper RCU helpers to prevent such
issues.

<title>sched/fair: Don't free p-&gt;numa_faults with concurrent readers</title>

commit 16d51a590a8ce3befb1308e0e7ab77f3b661af33 upstream.

When going through execve(), zero out the NUMA fault statistics instead of
freeing them.

During execve, the task is reachable through procfs and the scheduler. A
concurrent /proc/*/sched reader can read data from a freed -&gt;numa_faults
allocation (confirmed by KASAN) and write it back to userspace.
I believe that it would also be possible for a use-after-free read to occur
through a race between a NUMA fault and execve(): task_numa_fault() can
lead to task_numa_compare(), which invokes task_weight() on the currently
running task of a different CPU.

Another way to fix this would be to make -&gt;numa_faults RCU-managed or add
extra locking, but it seems easier to wipe the NUMA fault statistics on
execve.

<title>sched/nohz: Run NOHZ idle load balancer on HK_FLAG_MISC CPUs</title>

<content type='text'>
The NOHZ idle balancer runs on the lowest idle CPU. This can
interfere with isolated CPUs, so confine it to HK_FLAG_MISC
housekeeping CPUs.

HK_FLAG_SCHED is not used for this because it is not set anywhere
at the moment. This could be folded into HK_FLAG_SCHED once that
option is fixed.

The problem was observed with increased jitter on an application
running on CPU0, caused by NOHZ idle load balancing being run on
CPU1 (an SMT sibling).

sched_clock_cpu() may not be consistent between CPUs. If a task
migrates to another CPU, then se.exec_start is set to that CPU's
rq_clock_task() by update_stats_curr_start(). Specifically, the new
value might be before the old value due to clock skew.

So then if in numa_get_avg_runtime() the expression:

  'now - p-&gt;last_task_numa_placement'

ends up as -1, then the divider '*period + 1' in task_numa_placement()
is 0 and things go bang. Similar to update_curr(), check if time goes
backwards to avoid this.

<content type='text'>
Almost all {,de}activate_task() invocations pair with p-&gt;on_rq
updates, the exception being the usage in rt/deadline which hold both
rq locks and therefore don't strictly need to set
TASK_ON_RQ_MIGRATING, but it is harmless if we do anyway.

Put the updates in {,de}activate_task() and cut down on repetition.

Almost all {,de}activate_task() invocations pair with p-&gt;on_rq
updates, the exception being the usage in rt/deadline which hold both
rq locks and therefore don't strictly need to set
TASK_ON_RQ_MIGRATING, but it is harmless if we do anyway.

Put the updates in {,de}activate_task() and cut down on repetition.

<title>sched/fair: Limit sched_cfs_period_timer() loop to avoid hard lockup</title>

<id>2e8e19226398db8265a8e675fcc0118b9e80c9e8</id>
<content type='text'>
With extremely short cfs_period_us setting on a parent task group with a large
number of children the for loop in sched_cfs_period_timer() can run until the
watchdog fires. There is no guarantee that the call to hrtimer_forward_now()
will ever return 0.  The large number of children can make
do_sched_cfs_period_timer() take longer than the period.

 NMI watchdog: Watchdog detected hard LOCKUP on cpu 24
 RIP: 0010:tg_nop+0x0/0x10
  &lt;IRQ&gt;
  walk_tg_tree_from+0x29/0xb0
  unthrottle_cfs_rq+0xe0/0x1a0
  distribute_cfs_runtime+0xd3/0xf0
  sched_cfs_period_timer+0xcb/0x160
  ? sched_cfs_slack_timer+0xd0/0xd0
  __hrtimer_run_queues+0xfb/0x270
  hrtimer_interrupt+0x122/0x270
  smp_apic_timer_interrupt+0x6a/0x140
  apic_timer_interrupt+0xf/0x20
  &lt;/IRQ&gt;

To prevent this we add protection to the loop that detects when the loop has run
too many times and scales the period and quota up, proportionally, so that the timer
can complete before then next period expires.  This preserves the relative runtime
quota while preventing the hard lockup.

A warning is issued reporting this state and the new values.

<title>sched/fair: Remove unneeded prototype of capacity_of()</title>

The prototype of that function was already hoisted up in:

  commit 3b1baa6496e6 ("sched/fair: Add 'group_misfit_task' load-balance type")

but that seems to have been missed. Get rid of the extra prototype.
