[ Upstream commit feffe5bb274dd3442080ef0e4053746091878799 ]

Commit 95158a89dd50 ("sched,rt: Use the full cpumask for balancing")
allows find_lock_lowest_rq() to pick a task with migration disabled.
The purpose of the commit is to push the current running task on the
CPU that has the migrate_disable() task away.

However, there is a race which allows a migrate_disable() task to be
migrated. Consider:

  CPU0                                    CPU1
  push_rt_task
    check is_migration_disabled(next_task)

                                          task not running and
                                          migration_disabled == 0

    find_lock_lowest_rq(next_task, rq);
      _double_lock_balance(this_rq, busiest);
        raw_spin_rq_unlock(this_rq);
        double_rq_lock(this_rq, busiest);
          &lt;&lt;wait for busiest rq&gt;&gt;
                                              &lt;wakeup&gt;
                                          task become running
                                          migrate_disable();
                                            &lt;context out&gt;
    deactivate_task(rq, next_task, 0);
    set_task_cpu(next_task, lowest_rq-&gt;cpu);
      WARN_ON_ONCE(is_migration_disabled(p));

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

[ Upstream commit ceeadb83aea28372e54857bf88ab7e17af48ab7b ]

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.

[ Upstream commit 7c4a5b89a0b5a57a64b601775b296abf77a9fe97 ]

Commit 326587b84078 ("sched: fix goto retry in pick_next_task_rt()")
removed any path which could make pick_next_rt_entity() return NULL.
However, BUG_ON(!rt_se) in _pick_next_task_rt() (the only caller of
pick_next_rt_entity()) still checks the error condition, which can
never happen, since list_entry() never returns NULL.
Remove the BUG_ON check, and instead emit a warning in the only
possible error condition here: the queue being empty which should
never happen.

[ Upstream commit 5c66d1b9b30f737fcef85a0b75bfe0590e16b62a ]

dequeue_task_rt() only decrements 'rt_rq-&gt;rt_nr_running' after having
called sched_update_tick_dependency() preventing it from re-enabling the
tick on systems that no longer have pending SCHED_RT tasks but have
multiple runnable SCHED_OTHER tasks:

  dequeue_task_rt()
    dequeue_rt_entity()
      dequeue_rt_stack()
        dequeue_top_rt_rq()
	  sub_nr_running()	// decrements rq-&gt;nr_running
	    sched_update_tick_dependency()
	      sched_can_stop_tick()	// checks rq-&gt;rt.rt_nr_running,
	      ...
        __dequeue_rt_entity()
          dec_rt_tasks()	// decrements rq-&gt;rt.rt_nr_running
	  ...

Every other scheduler class performs the operation in the opposite
order, and sched_update_tick_dependency() expects the values to be
updated as such. So avoid the misbehaviour by inverting the order in
which the above operations are performed in the RT scheduler.

[ 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.

When rt_runtime is modified from -1 to a valid control value, it may
cause the task to be throttled all the time. Operations like the following
will trigger the bug. E.g:

  1. echo -1 &gt; /proc/sys/kernel/sched_rt_runtime_us
  2. Run a FIFO task named A that executes while(1)
  3. echo 950000 &gt; /proc/sys/kernel/sched_rt_runtime_us

When rt_runtime is -1, The rt period timer will not be activated when task
A enqueued. And then the task will be throttled after setting rt_runtime to
950,000. The task will always be throttled because the rt period timer is
not activated.

<title>sched/fair: Prevent dead task groups from regaining cfs_rq's</title>

[ Upstream commit b027789e5e50494c2325cc70c8642e7fd6059479 ]

Kevin is reporting crashes which point to a use-after-free of a cfs_rq
in update_blocked_averages(). Initial debugging revealed that we've
live cfs_rq's (on_list=1) in an about to be kfree()'d task group in
free_fair_sched_group(). However, it was unclear how that can happen.

His kernel config happened to lead to a layout of struct sched_entity
that put the 'my_q' member directly into the middle of the object
which makes it incidentally overlap with SLUB's freelist pointer.
That, in combination with SLAB_FREELIST_HARDENED's freelist pointer
mangling, leads to a reliable access violation in form of a #GP which
made the UAF fail fast.

Michal seems to have run into the same issue[1]. He already correctly
diagnosed that commit a7b359fc6a37 ("sched/fair: Correctly insert
cfs_rq's to list on unthrottle") is causing the preconditions for the
UAF to happen by re-adding cfs_rq's also to task groups that have no
more running tasks, i.e. also to dead ones. His analysis, however,
misses the real root cause and it cannot be seen from the crash
backtrace only, as the real offender is tg_unthrottle_up() getting
called via sched_cfs_period_timer() via the timer interrupt at an
inconvenient time.

When unregister_fair_sched_group() unlinks all cfs_rq's from the dying
task group, it doesn't protect itself from getting interrupted. If the
timer interrupt triggers while we iterate over all CPUs or after
unregister_fair_sched_group() has finished but prior to unlinking the
task group, sched_cfs_period_timer() will execute and walk the list of
task groups, trying to unthrottle cfs_rq's, i.e. re-add them to the
dying task group. These will later -- in free_fair_sched_group() -- be
kfree()'ed while still being linked, leading to the fireworks Kevin
and Michal are seeing.

To fix this race, ensure the dying task group gets unlinked first.
However, simply switching the order of unregistering and unlinking the
task group isn't sufficient, as concurrent RCU walkers might still see

        :                                                    :
        list_del_leaf_cfs_rq(tg-&gt;cfs_rq[cpu]);               :

      :                                                      :

CPU 2 walks the task group list in parallel to sched_offline_group(),
specifically, it'll read the soon to be unlinked task group entry at
(1). Unlinking it on CPU 1 at (2) therefore won't prevent CPU 2 from
still passing it on to tg_unthrottle_up(). CPU 1 now tries to unlink
all cfs_rq's via list_del_leaf_cfs_rq() in
unregister_fair_sched_group().  Meanwhile CPU 2 will re-add some of
these at (3), which is the cause of the UAF later on.

To prevent this additional race from happening, we need to wait until
walk_tg_tree_from() has finished traversing the task groups, i.e.
after the RCU read critical section ends in (4). Afterwards we're safe
to call unregister_fair_sched_group(), as each new walk won't see the
dying task group any more.

On top of that, we need to wait yet another RCU grace period after
unregister_fair_sched_group() to ensure print_cfs_stats(), which might
run concurrently, always sees valid objects, i.e. not already free'd
ones.

This patch survives Michal's reproducer[2] for 8h+ now, which used to
trigger within minutes before.

[ Upstream commit b027789e5e50494c2325cc70c8642e7fd6059479 ]

Kevin is reporting crashes which point to a use-after-free of a cfs_rq
in update_blocked_averages(). Initial debugging revealed that we've
live cfs_rq's (on_list=1) in an about to be kfree()'d task group in
free_fair_sched_group(). However, it was unclear how that can happen.

His kernel config happened to lead to a layout of struct sched_entity
that put the 'my_q' member directly into the middle of the object
which makes it incidentally overlap with SLUB's freelist pointer.
That, in combination with SLAB_FREELIST_HARDENED's freelist pointer
mangling, leads to a reliable access violation in form of a #GP which
made the UAF fail fast.

Michal seems to have run into the same issue[1]. He already correctly
diagnosed that commit a7b359fc6a37 ("sched/fair: Correctly insert
cfs_rq's to list on unthrottle") is causing the preconditions for the
UAF to happen by re-adding cfs_rq's also to task groups that have no
more running tasks, i.e. also to dead ones. His analysis, however,
misses the real root cause and it cannot be seen from the crash
backtrace only, as the real offender is tg_unthrottle_up() getting
called via sched_cfs_period_timer() via the timer interrupt at an
inconvenient time.

When unregister_fair_sched_group() unlinks all cfs_rq's from the dying
task group, it doesn't protect itself from getting interrupted. If the
timer interrupt triggers while we iterate over all CPUs or after
unregister_fair_sched_group() has finished but prior to unlinking the
task group, sched_cfs_period_timer() will execute and walk the list of
task groups, trying to unthrottle cfs_rq's, i.e. re-add them to the
dying task group. These will later -- in free_fair_sched_group() -- be
kfree()'ed while still being linked, leading to the fireworks Kevin
and Michal are seeing.

To fix this race, ensure the dying task group gets unlinked first.
However, simply switching the order of unregistering and unlinking the
task group isn't sufficient, as concurrent RCU walkers might still see
it, as can be seen below:
