commit 731dc9df975a5da21237a18c3384f811a7a41cc6 upstream.

A kernel module may need to check the value of the "mitigations=" kernel
command line parameter as part of its setup when the module needs
to perform software mitigations for a CPU flaw.

Uninline and export the helper functions surrounding the cpu_mitigations
enum to allow for their usage from a module.

Lastly, privatize the enum and cpu_mitigations variable since the value of
cpu_mitigations can be checked with the exported helper functions.

<title>timekeeping/vsyscall: Update VDSO data unconditionally</title>

[ Upstream commit 52338415cf4d4064ae6b8dd972dadbda841da4fa ]

The update of the VDSO data is depending on __arch_use_vsyscall() returning
True. This is a leftover from the attempt to map the features of various
architectures 1:1 into generic code.

The usage of __arch_use_vsyscall() in the actual vsyscall implementations
got dropped and replaced by the requirement for the architecture code to
return U64_MAX if the global clocksource is not usable in the VDSO.

But the __arch_use_vsyscall() check in the update code stayed which causes
the VDSO data to be stale or invalid when an architecture actually
implements that function and returns False when the current clocksource is
not usable in the VDSO.

As a consequence the VDSO implementations of clock_getres(), time(),
clock_gettime(CLOCK_.*_COARSE) operate on invalid data and return bogus
information.

Remove the __arch_use_vsyscall() check from the VDSO update function and
update the VDSO data unconditionally.

<title>sched/topology: Allow sched_asym_cpucapacity to be disabled</title>

[ Upstream commit e284df705cf1eeedb5ec3a66ed82d17a64659150 ]

While the static key is correctly initialized as being disabled, it will
remain forever enabled once turned on. This means that if we start with an
asymmetric system and hotplug out enough CPUs to end up with an SMP system,
the static key will remain set - which is obviously wrong. We should detect
this and turn off things like misfit migration and capacity aware wakeups.

As Quentin pointed out, having separate root domains makes this slightly
trickier. We could have exclusive cpusets that create an SMP island - IOW,
the domains within this root domain will not see any asymmetry. This means
we can't just disable the key on domain destruction, we need to count how
many asymmetric root domains we have.

Consider the following example using Juno r0 which is 2+4 big.LITTLE, where
two identical cpusets are created: they both span both big and LITTLE CPUs:

    asym0    asym1
  [       ][       ]
   L  L  B  L  L  B

  $ cgcreate -g cpuset:asym0
  $ cgset -r cpuset.cpus=0,1,3 asym0
  $ cgset -r cpuset.mems=0 asym0
  $ cgset -r cpuset.cpu_exclusive=1 asym0

  $ cgcreate -g cpuset:asym1
  $ cgset -r cpuset.cpus=2,4,5 asym1
  $ cgset -r cpuset.mems=0 asym1
  $ cgset -r cpuset.cpu_exclusive=1 asym1

  $ cgset -r cpuset.sched_load_balance=0 .

(the CPU numbering may look odd because on the Juno LITTLEs are CPUs 0,3-5
and bigs are CPUs 1-2)

If we make one of those SMP (IOW remove asymmetry) by e.g. hotplugging its
big core, we would end up with an SMP cpuset and an asymmetric cpuset - the
static key must remain set, because we still have one asymmetric root domain.

With the above example, this could be done with:

  $ echo 0 &gt; /sys/devices/system/cpu/cpu2/online

Which would result in:

    asym0   asym1
  [       ][    ]
   L  L  B  L  L

When both SMP and asymmetric cpusets are present, all CPUs will observe
sched_asym_cpucapacity being set (it is system-wide), but not all CPUs
observe asymmetry in their sched domain hierarchy:

  per_cpu(sd_asym_cpucapacity, &lt;any CPU in asym0&gt;) == &lt;some SD at DIE level&gt;
  per_cpu(sd_asym_cpucapacity, &lt;any CPU in asym1&gt;) == NULL

Change the simple key enablement to an increment, and decrement the key
counter when destroying domains that cover asymmetric CPUs.

[ Upstream commit cd1cb3350561d2bf544ddfef76fbf0b1c9c7178f ]

Turns out hotplugging CPUs that are in exclusive cpusets can lead to the
cpuset code feeding empty cpumasks to the sched domain rebuild machinery.

This leads to the following splat:

    Internal error: Oops: 96000004 [#1] PREEMPT SMP

    Code: f860dae2 912802d6 aa1603e1 12800000 (f8616853)

The faulty line in question is:

  cap = arch_scale_cpu_capacity(cpumask_first(cpu_map));

and we're not checking the return value against nr_cpu_ids (we shouldn't
have to!), which leads to the above.

Prevent generate_sched_domains() from returning empty cpumasks, and add
some assertion in build_sched_domains() to scream bloody murder if it
happens again.

The above splat was obtained on my Juno r0 with the following reproducer:

  $ cgcreate -g cpuset:asym
  $ cgset -r cpuset.cpus=0-3 asym
  $ cgset -r cpuset.mems=0 asym
  $ cgset -r cpuset.cpu_exclusive=1 asym

  $ cgcreate -g cpuset:smp
  $ cgset -r cpuset.cpus=4-5 smp
  $ cgset -r cpuset.mems=0 smp
  $ cgset -r cpuset.cpu_exclusive=1 smp

  $ cgset -r cpuset.sched_load_balance=0 .

[ Upstream commit 3b4d9eb2ee74dd5ea7fa36cffb0ca7f5bc4924da ]

There is one more problematic case I noticed while recently fixing BPF kallsyms
handling in cd7455f1013e ("bpf: Fix use after free in subprog's jited symbol
removal") and that is bpf_get_prog_name().

If BTF has been attached to the prog, then we may be able to fetch the function
signature type id in kallsyms through prog-&gt;aux-&gt;func_info[prog-&gt;aux-&gt;func_idx].type_id.
However, while the BTF object itself is torn down via RCU callback, the prog's
aux-&gt;func_info is immediately freed via kvfree(prog-&gt;aux-&gt;func_info) once the
prog's refcount either hit zero or when subprograms were already exposed via
kallsyms and we hit the error path added in 5482e9a93c83 ("bpf: Fix memleak in
aux-&gt;func_info and aux-&gt;btf").

This violates RCU as well since kallsyms could be walked in parallel where we
could access aux-&gt;func_info. Hence, defer kvfree() to after RCU grace period.
Looking at ba64e7d85252 ("bpf: btf: support proper non-jit func info") there
is no reason/dependency where we couldn't defer the kvfree(aux-&gt;func_info) into
the RCU callback.

After further debugging it turns out that we walk kallsyms while in parallel
we tear down a BPF program which contains subprograms that have been JITed
though the program itself has not been fully exposed and is eventually bailing
out with error.

The bpf_prog_kallsyms_del_subprogs() in bpf_prog_load()'s error path removes
the symbols, however, bpf_prog_free() tears down the JIT memory too early via
scheduled work. Instead, it needs to properly respect RCU grace period as the
kallsyms walk for BPF is under RCU.

Fix it by refactoring __bpf_prog_put()'s tear down and reuse it in our error
path where we defer final destruction when we have subprogs in the program.

<title>clone3: validate stack arguments</title>

commit fa729c4df558936b4a1a7b3e2234011f44ede28b upstream.

Validate the stack arguments and setup the stack depening on whether or not
it is growing down or up.

Legacy clone() required userspace to know in which direction the stack is
growing and pass down the stack pointer appropriately. To make things more
confusing microblaze uses a variant of the clone() syscall selected by
CONFIG_CLONE_BACKWARDS3 that takes an additional stack_size argument.
IA64 has a separate clone2() syscall which also takes an additional
stack_size argument. Finally, parisc has a stack that is growing upwards.
Userspace therefore has a lot nasty code like the following:

 #define __STACK_SIZE (8 * 1024 * 1024)
 pid_t sys_clone(int (*fn)(void *), void *arg, int flags, int *pidfd)
 {
         pid_t ret;
         void *stack;

         stack = malloc(__STACK_SIZE);
         if (!stack)
                 return -ENOMEM;

 #ifdef __ia64__
         ret = __clone2(fn, stack, __STACK_SIZE, flags | SIGCHLD, arg, pidfd);
 #elif defined(__parisc__) /* stack grows up */
         ret = clone(fn, stack, flags | SIGCHLD, arg, pidfd);
 #else
         ret = clone(fn, stack + __STACK_SIZE, flags | SIGCHLD, arg, pidfd);
 #endif
         return ret;
 }

or even crazier variants such as [3].

With clone3() we have the ability to validate the stack. We can check that
when stack_size is passed, the stack pointer is valid and the other way
around. We can also check that the memory area userspace gave us is fine to
use via access_ok(). Furthermore, we probably should not require
userspace to know in which direction the stack is growing. It is easy
for us to do this in the kernel and I couldn't find the original
reasoning behind exposing this detail to userspace.

/* Intentional user visible API change */
clone3() was released with 5.3. Currently, it is not documented and very
unclear to userspace how the stack and stack_size argument have to be
passed. After talking to glibc folks we concluded that trying to change
clone3() to setup the stack instead of requiring userspace to do this is
the right course of action.
Note, that this is an explicit change in user visible behavior we introduce
with this patch. If it breaks someone's use-case we will revert! (And then
e.g. place the new behavior under an appropriate flag.)
Breaking someone's use-case is very unlikely though. First, neither glibc
nor musl currently expose a wrapper for clone3(). Second, there is no real
motivation for anyone to use clone3() directly since it does not provide
features that legacy clone doesn't. New features for clone3() will first
happen in v5.5 which is why v5.4 is still a good time to try and make that
change now and backport it to v5.3. Searches on [4] did not reveal any
packages calling clone3().

[ Upstream commit 9fa8c9c647be624e91b09ecffa7cd97ee0600b40 ]

In the format of synthetic events, the "gfp_t" is shown as "signed:1",
but in fact the "gfp_t" is "unsigned", should be shown as "signed:0".

The issue can be reproduced by the following commands:

echo 'memlatency u64 lat; unsigned int order; gfp_t gfp_flags; int migratetype' &gt; /sys/kernel/debug/tracing/synthetic_events
cat  /sys/kernel/debug/tracing/events/synthetic/memlatency/format

        field:unsigned char common_flags;       offset:2;       size:1; signed:0;
        field:unsigned char common_preempt_count;       offset:3;       size:1; signed:0;

[ Upstream commit 763a9ec06c409dcde2a761aac4bb83ff3938e0b3 ]

Commit:

   de53fd7aedb1 ("sched/fair: Fix low cpu usage with high throttling by removing expiration of cpu-local slices")

introduced a few compilation warnings:

  kernel/sched/fair.c: In function '__refill_cfs_bandwidth_runtime':
  kernel/sched/fair.c:4365:6: warning: variable 'now' set but not used [-Wunused-but-set-variable]
  kernel/sched/fair.c: In function 'start_cfs_bandwidth':
  kernel/sched/fair.c:4992:6: warning: variable 'overrun' set but not used [-Wunused-but-set-variable]

Also, __refill_cfs_bandwidth_runtime() does no longer update the
expiration time, so fix the comments accordingly.

commit de53fd7aedb100f03e5d2231cfce0e4993282425 upstream.

It has been observed, that highly-threaded, non-cpu-bound applications
running under cpu.cfs_quota_us constraints can hit a high percentage of
periods throttled while simultaneously not consuming the allocated
amount of quota. This use case is typical of user-interactive non-cpu
bound applications, such as those running in kubernetes or mesos when
run on multiple cpu cores.

This has been root caused to cpu-local run queue being allocated per cpu
bandwidth slices, and then not fully using that slice within the period.
At which point the slice and quota expires. This expiration of unused
slice results in applications not being able to utilize the quota for
which they are allocated.

The non-expiration of per-cpu slices was recently fixed by
'commit 512ac999d275 ("sched/fair: Fix bandwidth timer clock drift
condition")'. Prior to that it appears that this had been broken since
at least 'commit 51f2176d74ac ("sched/fair: Fix unlocked reads of some
cfs_b-&gt;quota/period")' which was introduced in v3.16-rc1 in 2014. That
added the following conditional which resulted in slices never being
expired.

if (cfs_rq-&gt;runtime_expires != cfs_b-&gt;runtime_expires) {
	/* extend local deadline, drift is bounded above by 2 ticks */
	cfs_rq-&gt;runtime_expires += TICK_NSEC;

Because this was broken for nearly 5 years, and has recently been fixed
and is now being noticed by many users running kubernetes
(https://github.com/kubernetes/kubernetes/issues/67577) it is my opinion
that the mechanisms around expiring runtime should be removed
altogether.

This allows quota already allocated to per-cpu run-queues to live longer
than the period boundary. This allows threads on runqueues that do not
use much CPU to continue to use their remaining slice over a longer
period of time than cpu.cfs_period_us. However, this helps prevent the
above condition of hitting throttling while also not fully utilizing
your cpu quota.

This theoretically allows a machine to use slightly more than its
allotted quota in some periods. This overflow would be bounded by the
remaining quota left on each per-cpu runqueueu. This is typically no
more than min_cfs_rq_runtime=1ms per cpu. For CPU bound tasks this will
change nothing, as they should theoretically fully utilize all of their
quota in each period. For user-interactive tasks as described above this
provides a much better user/application experience as their cpu
utilization will more closely match the amount they requested when they
hit throttling. This means that cpu limits no longer strictly apply per
period for non-cpu bound applications, but that they are still accurate
over longer timeframes.

This greatly improves performance of high-thread-count, non-cpu bound
applications with low cfs_quota_us allocation on high-core-count
machines. In the case of an artificial testcase (10ms/100ms of quota on
80 CPU machine), this commit resulted in almost 30x performance
improvement, while still maintaining correct cpu quota restrictions.
That testcase is available at https://github.com/indeedeng/fibtest.
