[ 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.

[ Upstream commit 23c9519def98ee0fa97ea5871535e9b136f522fc ]

find_energy_efficient_cpu() bails out early if effective util of the
task is 0 as the delta at this point will be zero and there's nothing
for EAS to do. When uclamp is being used, this could lead to wrong
decisions when uclamp_max is set to 0. In this case the task is capped
to performance point 0, but it is actually running and consuming energy
and we can benefit from EAS energy calculations.

Rework the condition so that it bails out when both util and uclamp_min
are 0.

We can do that without needing to use uclamp_task_util(); remove it.

<title>sched/uclamp: Set max_spare_cap_cpu even if max_spare_cap is 0</title>

[ Upstream commit 6b00a40147653c8ea748e8f4396510f252763364 ]

When uclamp_max is being used, the util of the task could be higher than
the spare capacity of the CPU, but due to uclamp_max value we force-fit
it there.

The way the condition for checking for max_spare_cap in
find_energy_efficient_cpu() was constructed; it ignored any CPU that has
its spare_cap less than or _equal_ to max_spare_cap. Since we initialize
max_spare_cap to 0; this lead to never setting max_spare_cap_cpu and
hence ending up never performing compute_energy() for this cluster and
missing an opportunity for a better energy efficient placement to honour
uclamp_max setting.

	max_spare_cap = 0;
	cpu_cap = capacity_of(cpu) - cpu_util(p);  // 0 if cpu_util(p) is high

	...

	util_fits_cpu(...);		// will return true if uclamp_max forces it to fit

	...

	// this logic will fail to update max_spare_cap_cpu if cpu_cap is 0
	if (cpu_cap &gt; max_spare_cap) {
		max_spare_cap = cpu_cap;
		max_spare_cap_cpu = cpu;
	}

prev_spare_cap suffers from a similar problem.

Fix the logic by converting the variables into long and treating -1
value as 'not populated' instead of 0 which is a viable and correct
spare capacity value. We need to be careful signed comparison is used
when comparing with cpu_cap in one of the conditions.

[ Upstream commit c0490bc9bb62d9376f3dd4ec28e03ca0fef97152 ]

We don't need to maintain per-queue leaf_cfs_rq_list on !SMP, since
it's used for cfs_rq load tracking &amp; balancing on SMP.

But sched debug interface uses it to print per-cfs_rq stats.

This patch fixes the !SMP version of cfs_rq_is_decayed(), so the
per-queue leaf_cfs_rq_list is also maintained correctly on !SMP,
to fix the warning in assert_list_leaf_cfs_rq().

<title>sched/eevdf: Fix pick_eevdf()</title>

The old pick_eevdf() could fail to find the actual earliest eligible
deadline when it descended to the right looking for min_deadline, but
it turned out that that min_deadline wasn't actually eligible. In that
case we need to go back and search through any left branches we
skipped looking for the actual best _eligible_ min_deadline.

This is more expensive, but still O(log n), and at worst should only
involve descending two branches of the rbtree.

I've run this through a userspace stress test (thank you
tools/lib/rbtree.c), so hopefully this implementation doesn't miss any
corner cases.

Marek and Biju reported instances of:

  "EEVDF scheduling fail, picking leftmost"

which Mike correlated with cgroup scheduling and the min_deadline heap
getting corrupted; some trace output confirms:

&gt; And yeah, min_deadline is hosed somehow:

&gt;    validate_cfs_rq: min_deadline: -55861854 avg_vruntime: -62278313462 / 1074 = -57987256

Turns out that reweight_entity(), which tries really hard to be fast,
does not do the normal dequeue+update+enqueue pattern but *does* scale
the deadline.

However, it then fails to propagate the updated deadline value up the
heap.

<title>cpufreq: schedutil: Update next_freq when cpufreq_limits change</title>
<updated>2023-10-05T20:09:50+00:00</updated>

<id>9e0bc36ab07c550d791bf17feeb479f1dfc42d89</id>
<content type='text'>
When cpufreq's policy is 'single', there is a scenario that will
cause sg_policy's next_freq to be unable to update.

When the CPU's util is always max, the cpufreq will be max,
and then if we change the policy's scaling_max_freq to be a
lower freq, indeed, the sg_policy's next_freq need change to
be the lower freq, however, because the cpu_is_busy, the next_freq
would keep the max_freq.

For example:

The cpu7 is a single CPU:

  unisoc:/sys/devices/system/cpu/cpufreq/policy7 # while true;do done&amp; [1] 4737
  unisoc:/sys/devices/system/cpu/cpufreq/policy7 # taskset -p 80 4737
  pid 4737's current affinity mask: ff
  pid 4737's new affinity mask: 80
  unisoc:/sys/devices/system/cpu/cpufreq/policy7 # cat scaling_max_freq
  2301000
  unisoc:/sys/devices/system/cpu/cpufreq/policy7 # cat scaling_cur_freq
  2301000
  unisoc:/sys/devices/system/cpu/cpufreq/policy7 # echo 2171000 &gt; scaling_max_freq
  unisoc:/sys/devices/system/cpu/cpufreq/policy7 # cat scaling_max_freq
  2171000

At this time, the sg_policy's next_freq would stay at 2301000, which
is wrong.

To fix this, add a check for the -&gt;need_freq_update flag.

<title>sched/eevdf: Fix avg_vruntime()</title>

The expectation is that placing a task at avg_vruntime() makes it
eligible. Turns out there is a corner case where this is not the case.

Specifically, avg_vruntime() relies on the fact that integer division
is a flooring function (eg. it discards the remainder). By this
property the value returned is slightly left of the true average.

However! when the average is a negative (relative to min_vruntime) the
effect is flipped and it becomes a ceil, with the result that the
returned value is just right of the average and thus not eligible.
