[ Upstream commit aff037078ecaecf34a7c2afab1341815f90fba5e ]

Destroying psi trigger in cgroup_file_release causes UAF issues when
a cgroup is removed from under a polling process. This is happening
because cgroup removal causes a call to cgroup_file_release while the
actual file is still alive. Destroying the trigger at this point would
also destroy its waitqueue head and if there is still a polling process
on that file accessing the waitqueue, it will step on the freed pointer:

do_select
  vfs_poll
                           do_rmdir
                             cgroup_rmdir
                               kernfs_drain_open_files
                                 cgroup_file_release
                                   cgroup_pressure_release
                                     psi_trigger_destroy
                                       wake_up_pollfree(&amp;t-&gt;event_wait)
// vfs_poll is unblocked
                                       synchronize_rcu
                                       kfree(t)
  poll_freewait -&gt; UAF access to the trigger's waitqueue head

Patch [1] fixed this issue for epoll() case using wake_up_pollfree(),
however the same issue exists for synchronous poll() case.
The root cause of this issue is that the lifecycles of the psi trigger's
waitqueue and of the file associated with the trigger are different. Fix
this by using kernfs_generic_poll function when polling on cgroup-specific
psi triggers. It internally uses kernfs_open_node-&gt;poll waitqueue head
with its lifecycle tied to the file's lifecycle. This also renders the
fix in [1] obsolete, so revert it.

[ Upstream commit d82caa273565b45fcf103148950549af76c314b0 ]

PSI offers 2 mechanisms to get information about a specific resource
pressure. One is reading from /proc/pressure/&lt;resource&gt;, which gives
average pressures aggregated every 2s. The other is creating a pollable
fd for a specific resource and cgroup.

The trigger creation requires CAP_SYS_RESOURCE, and gives the
possibility to pick specific time window and threshold, spawing an RT
thread to aggregate the data.

Systemd would like to provide containers the option to monitor pressure
on their own cgroup and sub-cgroups. For example, if systemd launches a
container that itself then launches services, the container should have
the ability to poll() for pressure in individual services. But neither
the container nor the services are privileged.

This patch implements a mechanism to allow unprivileged users to create
pressure triggers. The difference with privileged triggers creation is
that unprivileged ones must have a time window that's a multiple of 2s.
This is so that we can avoid unrestricted spawning of rt threads, and
use instead the same aggregation mechanism done for the averages, which
runs independently of any triggers.

This change moves update_total flag out of update_triggers function,
currently called only in psi_poll_work.
In the next patch, update_triggers will be called also in psi_avgs_work,
but the total update information is specific to psi_poll_work.
Returning update_total value to the caller let us avoid differentiating
the implementation of update_triggers for different aggregators.

[ Upstream commit 2fcd7bbae90a6d844da8660a9d27079281dfbba2 ]

Pavan reported a problem that PSI avgs_work idle shutoff is not
working at all. Because PSI_NONIDLE condition would be observed in
psi_avgs_work()-&gt;collect_percpu_times()-&gt;get_recent_times() even if
only the kworker running avgs_work on the CPU.

Although commit 1b69ac6b40eb ("psi: fix aggregation idle shut-off")
avoided the ping-pong wake problem when the worker sleep, psi_avgs_work()
still will always re-arm the avgs_work, so shutoff is not working.

This patch changes to use PSI_STATE_RESCHEDULE to flag whether to
re-arm avgs_work in get_recent_times(). For the current CPU, we re-arm
avgs_work only when (NR_RUNNING &gt; 1 || NR_IOWAIT &gt; 0 || NR_MEMSTALL &gt; 0),
for other CPUs we can just check PSI_NONIDLE delta. The new flag
is only used in psi_avgs_work(), so we check in get_recent_times()
that current_work() is avgs_work.

One potential problem is that the brief period of non-idle time
incurred between the aggregation run and the kworker's dequeue will
be stranded in the per-cpu buckets until avgs_work run next time.
The buckets can hold 4s worth of time, and future activity will wake
the avgs_work with a 2s delay, giving us 2s worth of data we can leave
behind when shut off the avgs_work. If the kworker run other works after
avgs_work shut off and doesn't have any scheduler activities for 2s,
this maybe a problem.

[ Upstream commit ae2ad293d6be143ad223f5f947cca07bcbe42595 ]

When checking whether a recently used CPU can be a potential idle
candidate, recent_used_cpu should be used to test p-&gt;cpus_ptr as
p-&gt;recent_used_cpu is not equal to recent_used_cpu and candidate
decision is made based on recent_used_cpu here.

[ Upstream commit 0dd37d6dd33a9c23351e6115ae8cdac7863bc7de ]

We've run into the case that the balancer tries to balance a migration
disabled task and trigger the warning in set_task_cpu() like below:

Further investigation shows that the warning is superfluous, the migration
disabled task is just going to be migrated to its current running CPU.
This is because that on load balance if the dst_cpu is not allowed by the
task, we'll re-select a new_dst_cpu as a candidate. If no task can be
balanced to dst_cpu we'll try to balance the task to the new_dst_cpu
instead. In this case when the migration disabled task is not on CPU it
only allows to run on its current CPU, load balance will select its
current CPU as new_dst_cpu and later triggers the warning above.

The new_dst_cpu is chosen from the env-&gt;dst_grpmask. Currently it
contains CPUs in sched_group_span() and if we have overlapped groups it's
possible to run into this case. This patch makes env-&gt;dst_grpmask of
group_balance_mask() which exclude any CPUs from the busiest group and
solve the issue. For balancing in a domain with no overlapped groups
the behaviour keeps same as before.

[ 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:

  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);

[ Upstream commit 39afe5d6fc59237ff7738bf3ede5a8856822d59d ]

There are scenarios where non-affine wakeups are incorrectly counted as
affine wakeups by schedstats.

When wake_affine_idle() returns prev_cpu which doesn't equal to
nr_cpumask_bits, it will slip through the check: target == nr_cpumask_bits
in wake_affine() and be counted as if target == this_cpu in schedstats.

Replace target == nr_cpumask_bits with target != this_cpu to make sure
affine wakeups are accurately tallied.
