commit 8d67743653dce5a0e7aa500fcccb237cde7ad88e upstream.

The recent futex inode life time fix changed the ordering of the futex key
union struct members, but forgot to adjust the hash function accordingly,

As a result the hashing omits the leading 64bit and even hashes beyond the
futex key causing a bad hash distribution which led to a ~100% performance
regression.

Hand in the futex key pointer instead of a random struct member and make
the size calculation based of the struct offset.

commit 8019ad13ef7f64be44d4f892af9c840179009254 upstream.

As reported by Jann, ihold() does not in fact guarantee inode
persistence. And instead of making it so, replace the usage of inode
pointers with a per boot, machine wide, unique inode identifier.

This sequence number is global, but shared (file backed) futexes are
rare enough that this should not become a performance issue.

commit 763802b53a427ed3cbd419dbba255c414fdd9e7c upstream.

Commit 3f8fd02b1bf1 ("mm/vmalloc: Sync unmappings in
__purge_vmap_area_lazy()") introduced a call to vmalloc_sync_all() in
the vunmap() code-path.  While this change was necessary to maintain
correctness on x86-32-pae kernels, it also adds additional cycles for
architectures that don't need it.

Specifically on x86-64 with CONFIG_VMAP_STACK=y some people reported
severe performance regressions in micro-benchmarks because it now also
calls the x86-64 implementation of vmalloc_sync_all() on vunmap().  But
the vmalloc_sync_all() implementation on x86-64 is only needed for newly
created mappings.

To avoid the unnecessary work on x86-64 and to gain the performance
back, split up vmalloc_sync_all() into two functions:

	* vmalloc_sync_mappings(), and
	* vmalloc_sync_unmappings()

Most call-sites to vmalloc_sync_all() only care about new mappings being
synchronized.  The only exception is the new call-site added in the
above mentioned commit.

Shile Zhang directed us to a report of an 80% regression in reaim
throughput.

<title>signal: avoid double atomic counter increments for user accounting</title>

[ Upstream commit fda31c50292a5062332fa0343c084bd9f46604d9 ]

When queueing a signal, we increment both the users count of pending
signals (for RLIMIT_SIGPENDING tracking) and we increment the refcount
of the user struct itself (because we keep a reference to the user in
the signal structure in order to correctly account for it when freeing).

That turns out to be fairly expensive, because both of them are atomic
updates, and particularly under extreme signal handling pressure on big
machines, you can get a lot of cache contention on the user struct.
That can then cause horrid cacheline ping-pong when you do these
multiple accesses.

So change the reference counting to only pin the user for the _first_
pending signal, and to unpin it when the last pending signal is
dequeued.  That means that when a user sees a lot of concurrent signal
queuing - which is the only situation when this matters - the only
atomic access needed is generally the 'sigpending' count update.

This was noticed because of a particularly odd timing artifact on a
dual-socket 96C/192T Cascade Lake platform: when you get into bad
contention, on that machine for some reason seems to be much worse when
the contention happens in the upper 32-byte half of the cacheline.

As a result, the kernel test robot will-it-scale 'signal1' benchmark had
an odd performance regression simply due to random alignment of the
'struct user_struct' (and pointed to a completely unrelated and
apparently nonsensical commit for the regression).

Avoiding the double increments (and decrements on the dequeueing side,
of course) makes for much less contention and hugely improved
performance on that will-it-scale microbenchmark.

Quoting Feng Tang:

 "It makes a big difference, that the performance score is tripled! bump
  from original 17000 to 54000. Also the gap between 5.0-rc6 and
  5.0-rc6+Jiri's patch is reduced to around 2%"

[ The "2% gap" is the odd cacheline placement difference on that
  platform: under the extreme contention case, the effect of which half
  of the cacheline was hot was 5%, so with the reduced contention the
  odd timing artifact is reduced too ]

It does help in the non-contended case too, but is not nearly as
noticeable.

[ Upstream commit 784bd0847eda032ed2f3522f87250655a18c0190 ]

Fix a varargs-related bug in print_synth_event() which resulted in
strange output and oopses on 32-bit x86 systems. The problem is that
trace_seq_printf() expects the varargs to match the format string, but
print_synth_event() was always passing u64 values regardless.  This
results in unspecified behavior when unpacking with va_arg() in
trace_seq_printf().

Add a function that takes the size into account when calling
trace_seq_printf().

<title>workqueue: don't use wq_select_unbound_cpu() for bound works</title>

commit aa202f1f56960c60e7befaa0f49c72b8fa11b0a8 upstream.

wq_select_unbound_cpu() is designed for unbound workqueues only, but
it's wrongly called when using a bound workqueue too.

Fixing this ensures work queued to a bound workqueue with
cpu=WORK_CPU_UNBOUND always runs on the local CPU.

Before, that would happen only if wq_unbound_cpumask happened to include
it (likely almost always the case), or was empty, or we got lucky with
forced round-robin placement.  So restricting
/sys/devices/virtual/workqueue/cpumask to a small subset of a machine's
CPUs would cause some bound work items to run unexpectedly there.

commit 9c974c77246460fa6a92c18554c3311c8c83c160 upstream.

PF_EXITING is set earlier than actual removal from css_set when a task
is exitting. This can confuse cgroup.procs readers who see no PF_EXITING
tasks, however, rmdir is checking against css_set membership so it can
transitionally fail with EBUSY.

Fix this by listing tasks that weren't unlinked from css_set active
lists.
It may happen that other users of the task iterator (without
CSS_TASK_ITER_PROCS) spot a PF_EXITING task before cgroup_exit(). This
is equal to the state before commit c03cd7738a83 ("cgroup: Include dying
leaders with live threads in PROCS iterations") but it may be reviewed
later.

<title>cgroup: cgroup_procs_next should increase position index</title>

commit 2d4ecb030dcc90fb725ecbfc82ce5d6c37906e0e upstream.

If seq_file .next fuction does not change position index,
read after some lseek can generate unexpected output:

1) dd bs=1 skip output of each 2nd elements
$ dd if=/sys/fs/cgroup/cgroup.procs bs=8 count=1
2
3
4
5
1+0 records in
1+0 records out
8 bytes copied, 0,000267297 s, 29,9 kB/s
[test@localhost ~]$ dd if=/sys/fs/cgroup/cgroup.procs bs=1 count=8
2
4 &lt;&lt;&lt; NB! 3 was skipped
6 &lt;&lt;&lt;    ... and 5 too
8 &lt;&lt;&lt;    ... and 7
8+0 records in
8+0 records out
8 bytes copied, 5,2123e-05 s, 153 kB/s

 This happen because __cgroup_procs_start() makes an extra
 extra cgroup_procs_next() call

2) read after lseek beyond end of file generates whole last line.
3) read after lseek into middle of last line generates
expected rest of last line and unexpected whole line once again.

Additionally patch removes an extra position index changes in
__cgroup_procs_start()

<title>cgroup: memcg: net: do not associate sock with unrelated cgroup</title>

[ Upstream commit e876ecc67db80dfdb8e237f71e5b43bb88ae549c ]

We are testing network memory accounting in our setup and noticed
inconsistent network memory usage and often unrelated cgroups network
usage correlates with testing workload. On further inspection, it
seems like mem_cgroup_sk_alloc() and cgroup_sk_alloc() are broken in
irq context specially for cgroup v1.

mem_cgroup_sk_alloc() and cgroup_sk_alloc() can be called in irq context
and kind of assumes that this can only happen from sk_clone_lock()
and the source sock object has already associated cgroup. However in
cgroup v1, where network memory accounting is opt-in, the source sock
can be unassociated with any cgroup and the new cloned sock can get
associated with unrelated interrupted cgroup.

Cgroup v2 can also suffer if the source sock object was created by
process in the root cgroup or if sk_alloc() is called in irq context.
The fix is to just do nothing in interrupt.

WARNING: Please note that about half of the TCP sockets are allocated
from the IRQ context, so, memory used by such sockets will not be
accouted by the memcg.

[ Upstream commit 153031a301bb07194e9c37466cfce8eacb977621 ]

There was a recent change in blktrace.c that added a RCU protection to
`q-&gt;blk_trace` in order to fix a use-after-free issue during access.

However the change missed an edge case that can lead to dereferencing of
`bt` pointer even when it's NULL:

Coverity static analyzer marked this as a FORWARD_NULL issue with CID
1460458.

```
/kernel/trace/blktrace.c: 1904 in sysfs_blk_trace_attr_store()
1898            ret = 0;
1899            if (bt == NULL)
1900                    ret = blk_trace_setup_queue(q, bdev);
1901
1902            if (ret == 0) {
1903                    if (attr == &amp;dev_attr_act_mask)
&gt;&gt;&gt;     CID 1460458:  Null pointer dereferences  (FORWARD_NULL)
&gt;&gt;&gt;     Dereferencing null pointer "bt".
1904                            bt-&gt;act_mask = value;
1905                    else if (attr == &amp;dev_attr_pid)
1906                            bt-&gt;pid = value;
1907                    else if (attr == &amp;dev_attr_start_lba)
1908                            bt-&gt;start_lba = value;
1909                    else if (attr == &amp;dev_attr_end_lba)
```

Added a reassignment with RCU annotation to fix the issue.
