[ Upstream commit ca4984a7dd863f3e1c0df775ae3e744bff24c303 ]

The UCLAMP_FLAG_IDLE flag is set on a runqueue when dequeueing the last
uclamp active task (that is, when buckets.tasks reaches 0 for all
buckets) to maintain the last uclamp.max and prevent blocked util from
suddenly becoming visible.

However, there is an asymmetry in how the flag is set and cleared which
can lead to having the flag set whilst there are active tasks on the rq.
Specifically, the flag is cleared in the uclamp_rq_inc() path, which is
called at enqueue time, but set in uclamp_rq_dec_id() which is called
both when dequeueing a task _and_ in the update_uclamp_active() path. As
a result, when both uclamp_rq_{dec,ind}_id() are called from
update_uclamp_active(), the flag ends up being set but not cleared,
hence leaving the runqueue in a broken state.

Fix this by clearing the flag in update_uclamp_active() as well.

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

[ Upstream commit f95091536f78971b269ec321b057b8d630b0ad8a ]

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override kattr.sched_flags with the now out-of-date copy in dl_se-&gt;flags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.

commit 3a7956e25e1d7b3c148569e78895e1f3178122a9 upstream.

The kthread_is_per_cpu() construct relies on only being called on
PF_KTHREAD tasks (per the WARN in to_kthread). This gives rise to the
following usage pattern:

	if ((p-&gt;flags &amp; PF_KTHREAD) &amp;&amp; kthread_is_per_cpu(p))

However, as reported by syzcaller, this is broken. The scenario is:

	CPU0				CPU1 (running p)

	(p-&gt;flags &amp; PF_KTHREAD) // true

					begin_new_exec()
					  me-&gt;flags &amp;= ~(PF_KTHREAD|...);
	kthread_is_per_cpu(p)
	  to_kthread(p)
	    WARN(!(p-&gt;flags &amp; PF_KTHREAD) &lt;-- *SPLAT*

Introduce __to_kthread() that omits the WARN and is sure to check both
values.

Use this to remove the problematic pattern for kthread_is_per_cpu()
and fix a number of other kthread_*() functions that have similar
issues but are currently not used in ways that would expose the
problem.

Notably kthread_func() is only ever called on 'current', while
kthread_probe_data() is only used for PF_WQ_WORKER, which implies the
task is from kthread_create*().

[ Upstream commit 72d0ad7cb5bad265adb2014dbe46c4ccb11afaba ]

The time remaining until expiry of the refresh_timer can be negative.
Casting the type to an unsigned 64-bit value will cause integer
underflow, making the runtime_refresh_within return false instead of
true. These situations are rare, but they do happen.

This does not cause user-facing issues or errors; other than
possibly unthrottling cfs_rq's using runtime from the previous period(s),
making the CFS bandwidth enforcement less strict in those (special)
situations.

commit 11c7aa0ddea8611007768d3e6b58d45dc60a19e1 upstream.

Commit 545fbd0775ba ("rq-qos: fix missed wake-ups in rq_qos_throttle")
tried to fix a problem that a process could be sleeping in rq_qos_wait()
without anyone to wake it up. However the fix is not complete and the
following can still happen:

CPU1 (waiter1)		CPU2 (waiter2)		CPU3 (waker)
rq_qos_wait()		rq_qos_wait()
  acquire_inflight_cb() -&gt; fails
			  acquire_inflight_cb() -&gt; fails

						completes IOs, inflight
						  decreased
  prepare_to_wait_exclusive()
			  prepare_to_wait_exclusive()
  has_sleeper = !wq_has_single_sleeper() -&gt; true as there are two sleepers
			  has_sleeper = !wq_has_single_sleeper() -&gt; true
  io_schedule()		  io_schedule()

Deadlock as now there's nobody to wakeup the two waiters. The logic
automatically blocking when there are already sleepers is really subtle
and the only way to make it work reliably is that we check whether there
are some waiters in the queue when adding ourselves there. That way, we
are guaranteed that at least the first process to enter the wait queue
will recheck the waiting condition before going to sleep and thus
guarantee forward progress.

			  has_sleeper = !wq_has_single_sleeper() -&gt; true
  io_schedule()		  io_schedule()

Deadlock as now there's nobody to wakeup the two waiters. The logic
automatically blocking when there are already sleepers is really subtle
and the only way to make it work reliably is that we check whether there
are some waiters in the queue when adding ourselves there. That way, we
are guaranteed that at least the first process to enter the wait queue
will recheck the waiting condition before going to sleep and thus
guarantee forward progress.

[ 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.

	           |  p  |  tg  |  effective
	-----------+-----+------+-----------
	old
	-----------+-----+------+-----------
	uclamp_min | 60% | 0%   |  50%
	-----------+-----+------+-----------
	uclamp_max | 80% | 50%  |  50%
	-----------+-----+------+-----------
	*new*
	-----------+-----+------+-----------
	uclamp_min | 60% | 0%   | *60%*

	uclamp_max | 80% |*70%* | *70%*

[ Upstream commit d7d607096ae6d378b4e92d49946d22739c047d4c ]

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.

[ 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().
