[ Upstream commit c6e80201e057dfb7253385e60bf541121bf5dc33 ]

to_ratio() computes BW_SHIFT-scaled bandwidth ratios from u64 period and
runtime values, but it returns unsigned long.  tg_rt_schedulable() also
stores the current group limit and the accumulated child sum in unsigned
long.

On 32-bit builds, large bandwidth ratios can be truncated and the RT
group sum can wrap when enough siblings are present.  That can let an
overcommitted RT hierarchy pass the schedulability check, and it also
narrows the helper result for other callers.

Return u64 from to_ratio() and use u64 for the RT group totals so
bandwidth ratios are preserved and compared at full width on both 32-bit
and 64-bit builds.

[ Upstream commit 94894c9c477e53bcea052e075c53f89df3d2a33e ]

CPU0 becomes overloaded when hosting a CPU-bound RT task, a non-CPU-bound
RT task, and a CFS task stuck in kernel space. When other CPUs switch from
RT to non-RT tasks, RT load balancing (LB) is triggered; with
HAVE_RT_PUSH_IPI enabled, they send IPIs to CPU0 to drive the execution
of rto_push_irq_work_func. During push_rt_task on CPU0,
if next_task-&gt;prio &lt; rq-&gt;donor-&gt;prio, resched_curr() sets NEED_RESCHED
and after the push operation completes, CPU0 calls rto_next_cpu().
Since only CPU0 is overloaded in this scenario, rto_next_cpu() should
ideally return -1 (no further IPI needed).

However, multiple CPUs invoking tell_cpu_to_push() during LB increments
rd-&gt;rto_loop_next. Even when rd-&gt;rto_cpu is set to -1, the mismatch between
rd-&gt;rto_loop and rd-&gt;rto_loop_next forces rto_next_cpu() to restart its
search from -1. With CPU0 remaining overloaded (satisfying rt_nr_migratory
&amp;&amp; rt_nr_total &gt; 1), it gets reselected, causing CPU0 to queue irq_work to
itself and send self-IPIs repeatedly. As long as CPU0 stays overloaded and
other CPUs run pull_rt_tasks(), it falls into an infinite self-IPI loop,
which triggers a CPU hardlockup due to continuous self-interrupts.

The trigging scenario is as follows:

         cpu0                      cpu1                    cpu2
                                pull_rt_task
                              tell_cpu_to_push
                 &lt;------------irq_work_queue_on
rto_push_irq_work_func
       push_rt_task
    resched_curr(rq)                                   pull_rt_task
    rto_next_cpu                                     tell_cpu_to_push
                      &lt;-------------------------- atomic_inc(rto_loop_next)
rd-&gt;rto_loop != next
     rto_next_cpu
   irq_work_queue_on
rto_push_irq_work_func

Fix redundant self-IPI by filtering the initiating CPU in rto_next_cpu().
This solution has been verified to effectively eliminate spurious self-IPIs
and prevent CPU hardlockup scenarios.

[ Upstream commit 440989c10f4e32620e9e2717ca52c3ed7ae11048 ]

A global limits change (sched_rt_handler() logic) currently leaves stale
and/or incorrect values in variables related to accounting (e.g.
extra_bw).

Properly clean up per runqueue variables before implementing the change
and rebuild scheduling domains (so that accounting is also properly
restored) after such a change is complete.

<title>sched/rt: Disallow writing invalid values to sched_rt_period_us</title>

<content type='text'>
commit 079be8fc630943d9fc70a97807feb73d169ee3fc upstream.

The validation of the value written to sched_rt_period_us was broken
because:

  - the sysclt_sched_rt_period is declared as unsigned int
  - parsed by proc_do_intvec()
  - the range is asserted after the value parsed by proc_do_intvec()

Because of this negative values written to the file were written into a
unsigned integer that were later on interpreted as large positive
integers which did passed the check:

  if (sysclt_sched_rt_period &lt;= 0)
	return EINVAL;

This commit fixes the parsing by setting explicit range for both
perid_us and runtime_us into the sched_rt_sysctls table and processes
the values with proc_dointvec_minmax() instead.

Alternatively if we wanted to use full range of unsigned int for the
period value we would have to split the proc_handler and use
proc_douintvec() for it however even the
Documentation/scheduller/sched-rt-group.rst describes the range as 1 to
INT_MAX.

As far as I can tell the only problem this causes is that the sysctl
file allows writing negative values which when read back may confuse
userspace.

There is also a LTP test being submitted for these sysctl files at:

<title>sched/rt: Fix sysctl_sched_rr_timeslice intial value</title>

commit c7fcb99877f9f542c918509b2801065adcaf46fa upstream.

There is a 10% rounding error in the intial value of the
sysctl_sched_rr_timeslice with CONFIG_HZ_300=y.

This was found with LTP test sched_rr_get_interval01:

sched_rr_get_interval01.c:57: TPASS: sched_rr_get_interval() passed
sched_rr_get_interval01.c:64: TPASS: Time quantum 0s 99999990ns
sched_rr_get_interval01.c:72: TFAIL: /proc/sys/kernel/sched_rr_timeslice_ms != 100 got 90
sched_rr_get_interval01.c:57: TPASS: sched_rr_get_interval() passed
sched_rr_get_interval01.c:64: TPASS: Time quantum 0s 99999990ns
sched_rr_get_interval01.c:72: TFAIL: /proc/sys/kernel/sched_rr_timeslice_ms != 100 got 90

What this test does is to compare the return value from the
sched_rr_get_interval() and the sched_rr_timeslice_ms sysctl file and
fails if they do not match.

The problem it found is the intial sysctl file value which was computed as:

static int sysctl_sched_rr_timeslice = (MSEC_PER_SEC / HZ) * RR_TIMESLICE;

which works fine as long as MSEC_PER_SEC is multiple of HZ, however it
introduces 10% rounding error for CONFIG_HZ_300:

(MSEC_PER_SEC / HZ) * (100 * HZ / 1000)

(1000 / 300) * (100 * 300 / 1000)

3 * 30 = 90

This can be easily fixed by reversing the order of the multiplication
and division. After this fix we get:

(MSEC_PER_SEC * (100 * HZ / 1000)) / HZ

(1000 * (100 * 300 / 1000)) / 300

(1000 * 30) / 300 = 100

commit c1fc6484e1fb7cc2481d169bfef129a1b0676abe upstream.

The sched_rr_timeslice can be reset to default by writing value that is
&lt;= 0. However after reading from this file we always got the last value
written, which is not useful at all.

$ echo -1 &gt; /proc/sys/kernel/sched_rr_timeslice_ms
$ cat /proc/sys/kernel/sched_rr_timeslice_ms
-1

Fix this by setting the variable that holds the sysctl file value to the
jiffies_to_msecs(RR_TIMESLICE) in case that &lt;= 0 value was written.

<title>sched: Fix stop_one_cpu_nowait() vs hotplug</title>

[ Upstream commit f0498d2a54e7966ce23cd7c7ff42c64fa0059b07 ]

Kuyo reported sporadic failures on a sched_setaffinity() vs CPU
hotplug stress-test -- notably affine_move_task() remains stuck in
wait_for_completion(), leading to a hung-task detector warning.

Specifically, it was reported that stop_one_cpu_nowait(.fn =
migration_cpu_stop) returns false -- this stopper is responsible for
the matching complete().

The race scenario is:

	CPU0					CPU1

					// doing _cpu_down()

  __set_cpus_allowed_ptr()
    task_rq_lock();
					takedown_cpu()
					  stop_machine_cpuslocked(take_cpu_down..)

					&lt;PREEMPT: cpu_stopper_thread()
					  MULTI_STOP_PREPARE
					  ...
    __set_cpus_allowed_ptr_locked()
      affine_move_task()
        task_rq_unlock();

  &lt;PREEMPT: cpu_stopper_thread()\&gt;
    ack_state()
					  MULTI_STOP_RUN
					    take_cpu_down()
					      __cpu_disable();
					      stop_machine_park();
						stopper-&gt;enabled = false;
					 /&gt;
   /&gt;
	stop_one_cpu_nowait(.fn = migration_cpu_stop);
          if (stopper-&gt;enabled) // false!!!

That is, by doing stop_one_cpu_nowait() after dropping rq-lock, the
stopper thread gets a chance to preempt and allows the cpu-down for
the target CPU to complete.

OTOH, since stop_one_cpu_nowait() / cpu_stop_queue_work() needs to
issue a wakeup, it must not be ran under the scheduler locks.

Solve this apparent contradiction by keeping preemption disabled over
the unlock + queue_stopper combination:

	preempt_disable();
	task_rq_unlock(...);
	if (!stop_pending)
	  stop_one_cpu_nowait(...)
	preempt_enable();

This respects the lock ordering contraints while still avoiding the
above race. That is, if we find the CPU is online under rq-lock, the
targeted stop_one_cpu_nowait() must succeed.

Apply this pattern to all similar stop_one_cpu_nowait() invocations.

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:

                                          migration_disabled == 0

    find_lock_lowest_rq(next_task, rq);
      _double_lock_balance(this_rq, busiest);
        raw_spin_rq_unlock(this_rq);

                                          migrate_disable();
                                            &lt;context out&gt;
    deactivate_task(rq, next_task, 0);
    set_task_cpu(next_task, lowest_rq-&gt;cpu);

<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.

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.
