[ Upstream commit ebb83d84e49b54369b0db67136a5fe1087124dcc ]

After commit 8ad075c2eb1f ("sched: Async unthrottling for cfs
bandwidth"), we may update the rq clock multiple times in the loop of
__cfsb_csd_unthrottle().

A prior (although less common) instance of this problem exists in
unthrottle_offline_cfs_rqs().

Cure both by ensuring update_rq_clock() is called before the loop and
setting RQCF_ACT_SKIP during the loop, to supress further updates.
The alternative would be pulling update_rq_clock() out of
unthrottle_cfs_rq(), but that gives an even bigger mess.

[ Upstream commit f31dcb152a3d0816e2f1deab4e64572336da197d ]

Have local_clock() return sched_clock() if sched_clock_init() has not
yet run. sched_clock_cpu() has this check but it was not included in the
new noinstr implementation of local_clock().

The effect can be seen on x86 with CONFIG_PRINTK_TIME enabled, for
instance. scd-&gt;clock quickly reaches the value of TICK_NSEC and that
value is returned until sched_clock_init() runs.

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));

[ 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.

Commit 829c1651e9c4 ("sched/fair: sanitize vruntime of entity being placed")
fixes an overflowing bug, but ignore a case that se-&gt;exec_start is reset
after a migration.

For fixing this case, we delay the reset of se-&gt;exec_start after
placing the entity which se-&gt;exec_start to detect long sleeping task.

In order to take into account a possible divergence between the clock_task
of 2 rqs, we increase the threshold to around 104 days.

The getaffinity() system call uses 'cpumask_size()' to decide how big
the CPU mask is - so far so good.  It is indeed the allocation size of a
cpumask.

But the code also assumes that the whole allocation is initialized
without actually doing so itself.  That's wrong, because we might have
fixed-size allocations (making copying and clearing more efficient), but
not all of it is then necessarily used if 'nr_cpu_ids' is smaller.

Having checked other users of 'cpumask_size()', they all seem to be ok,
either using it purely for the allocation size, or explicitly zeroing
the cpumask before using the size in bytes to copy it.

See for example the ublk_ctrl_get_queue_affinity() function that uses
the proper 'zalloc_cpumask_var()' to make sure that the whole mask is
cleared, whether the storage is on the stack or if it was an external
allocation.

Fix this by just zeroing the allocation before using it.  Do the same
for the compat version of sched_getaffinity(), which had the same logic.

Also, for consistency, make sched_getaffinity() use 'cpumask_bits()' to
access the bits.  For a cpumask_var_t, it ends up being a pointer to the
same data either way, but it's just a good idea to treat it like you
would a 'cpumask_t'.  The compat case already did that.

Pull MM updates from Andrew Morton:

 - Daniel Verkamp has contributed a memfd series ("mm/memfd: add
   F_SEAL_EXEC") which permits the setting of the memfd execute bit at
   memfd creation time, with the option of sealing the state of the X
   bit.

 - Peter Xu adds a patch series ("mm/hugetlb: Make huge_pte_offset()
   thread-safe for pmd unshare") which addresses a rare race condition
   related to PMD unsharing.

   actions. SeongJae has also done some DAMON cleanup work.

 - Kairui Song adds a series ("Clean up and fixes for swap").

 - Vernon Yang contributed the series "Clean up and refinement for maple
   tree".

   series "mm: uffd-wp + change_protection() cleanups".

   writeable+executable mappings.

   The previous BPF-based approach had shortcomings. See "mm: In-kernel
   support for memory-deny-write-execute (MDWE)".

   "mm/kmemleak: Simplify kmemleak_cond_resched() &amp; fix UAF".

 - T.J. Alumbaugh has contributed some MGLRU cleanup work in his series
   "mm: multi-gen LRU: improve".

   statistics reporting, mainly by presenting the statistics on a
   per-node basis. See the series "Introduce per NUMA node memory error
   statistics".

   regression in compaction via his series "Fix excessive CPU usage
   during compaction".

 - Christoph Hellwig does some vmalloc maintenance work in the series
   "cleanup vfree and vunmap".

 - Christoph Hellwig has removed block_device_operations.rw_page() in

   vm_flags handling in the series "introduce vm_flags modifier
   functions".

 - Some pagemap cleanup and generalization work in Mike Rapoport's
   series "mm, arch: add generic implementation of pfn_valid() for
   FLATMEM" and "fixups for generic implementation of pfn_valid()"

 - Baoquan He has done some work to make /proc/vmallocinfo and
   /proc/kcore better represent the real state of things in his series
   "mm/vmalloc.c: allow vread() to read out vm_map_ram areas".

 - Jason Gunthorpe rationalized the GUP system's interface to the rest
   of the kernel in the series "Simplify the external interface for
   GUP".

 - SeongJae Park wishes to migrate people from DAMON's debugfs interface
   over to its sysfs interface. To support this, we'll temporarily be
   printing warnings when people use the debugfs interface. See the
   series "mm/damon: deprecate DAMON debugfs interface".

 - Andrey Konovalov provided the accurately named "lib/stackdepot: fixes
   and clean-ups" series.

 - Huang Ying has provided a dramatic reduction in migration's TLB flush
   IPI rates with the series "migrate_pages(): batch TLB flushing".

 - Arnd Bergmann has some objtool fixups in "objtool warning fixes".

the driver core allows the usage of const struct kobj_type.

Take advantage of this to constify the structure definition to prevent
