[ Upstream commit 49217ea147df7647cb89161b805c797487783fc0 ]

In the cgroup v2 CPU subsystem, assuming we have a
cgroup named 'test', and we set cpu.max and cpu.max.burst:

    # echo 1000000 &gt; /sys/fs/cgroup/test/cpu.max
    # echo 1000000 &gt; /sys/fs/cgroup/test/cpu.max.burst

then we check cpu.max and cpu.max.burst:

    # cat /sys/fs/cgroup/test/cpu.max
    1000000 100000
    # cat /sys/fs/cgroup/test/cpu.max.burst
    1000000

Next we set cpu.max again and check cpu.max and
cpu.max.burst:

    # echo 2000000 &gt; /sys/fs/cgroup/test/cpu.max
    # cat /sys/fs/cgroup/test/cpu.max
    2000000 100000

    # cat /sys/fs/cgroup/test/cpu.max.burst
    1000

... we find that the cpu.max.burst value changed unexpectedly.

In cpu_max_write(), the unit of the burst value returned
by tg_get_cfs_burst() is microseconds, while in cpu_max_write(),
the burst unit used for calculation should be nanoseconds,
which leads to the bug.

To fix it, get the burst value directly from tg-&gt;cfs_bandwidth.burst.

[ Upstream commit a1fd0b9d751f840df23ef0e75b691fc00cfd4743 ]

Change relax_domain_level checks so that it would be possible
to include or exclude all domains from newidle balancing.

This matches the behavior described in the documentation:

  -1   no request. use system default or follow request of others.
   0   no search.
   1   search siblings (hyperthreads in a core).

"2" enables levels 0 and 1, level_max excludes the last (level_max)
level, and level_max+1 includes all levels.

[ Upstream commit bd125a084091396f3e796bb3dc009940d9771811 ]

When the ABI was updated to prevent same name w/different args, it
missed an important corner case when fields don't end with a space.
Typically, space is used for fields to help separate them, like
"u8 field1; u8 field2". If no spaces are used, like
"u8 field1;u8 field2", then the parsing works for the first time.
However, the match check fails on a subsequent register, leading to
confusion.

This is because the match check uses argv_split() and assumes that all
fields will be split upon the space. When spaces are used, we get back
{ "u8", "field1;" }, without spaces we get back { "u8", "field1;u8" }.
This causes a mismatch, and the user program gets back -EADDRINUSE.

Add a method to detect this case before calling argv_split(). If found
force a space after the field separator character ';'. This ensures all
cases work properly for matching.

With this fix, the following are all treated as matching:
u8 field1;u8 field2
u8 field1; u8 field2
u8 field1;\tu8 field2
u8 field1;\nu8 field2

[ Upstream commit 543576ec15b17c0c93301ac8297333c7b6e84ac7 ]

bpf_prog_attach uses attach_type_to_prog_type to enforce proper
attach type for BPF_PROG_TYPE_CGROUP_SKB. link_create uses
bpf_prog_get and relies on bpf_prog_attach_check_attach_type

Add missing attach_type enforcement for the link_create case.
Otherwise, it's currently possible to attach cgroup_skb prog
types to other cgroup hooks.

[ Upstream commit 1f2a74b41ea8b902687eb97c4e7e3f558801865b ]

r10 is a special register that is not under BPF program's control and is
always effectively precise. The rest of precision logic assumes that
only r0-r9 SCALAR registers are marked as precise, so prevent r10 from
being marked precise.

This can happen due to signed cast instruction allowing to do something
like `r0 = (s8)r10;`, which later, if r0 needs to be precise, would lead
to an attempt to mark r10 as precise.

Prevent this with an extra check during instruction backtracking.

<title>sched/fair: Add EAS checks before updating root_domain::overutilized</title>

<content type='text'>
[ Upstream commit be3a51e68f2f1b17250ce40d8872c7645b7a2991 ]

root_domain::overutilized is only used for EAS(energy aware scheduler)
to decide whether to do load balance or not. It is not used if EAS
not possible.

Currently enqueue_task_fair and task_tick_fair accesses, sometime updates
this field. In update_sd_lb_stats it is updated often. This causes cache
contention due to true sharing and burns a lot of cycles. ::overload and
::overutilized are part of the same cacheline. Updating it often invalidates
the cacheline. That causes access to ::overload to slow down due to
false sharing. Hence add EAS check before accessing/updating this field.
EAS check is optimized at compile time or it is a static branch.
Hence it shouldn't cost much.

With the patch, both enqueue_task_fair and newidle_balance don't show
up as hot routines in perf profile.

  6.8-rc4:
  7.18%  swapper          [kernel.vmlinux]              [k] enqueue_task_fair
  6.78%  s                [kernel.vmlinux]              [k] newidle_balance

  +patch:
  0.14%  swapper          [kernel.vmlinux]              [k] enqueue_task_fair
  0.00%  swapper          [kernel.vmlinux]              [k] newidle_balance

[ Upstream commit be3a51e68f2f1b17250ce40d8872c7645b7a2991 ]

root_domain::overutilized is only used for EAS(energy aware scheduler)
to decide whether to do load balance or not. It is not used if EAS
not possible.

Currently enqueue_task_fair and task_tick_fair accesses, sometime updates
this field. In update_sd_lb_stats it is updated often. This causes cache
contention due to true sharing and burns a lot of cycles. ::overload and
::overutilized are part of the same cacheline. Updating it often invalidates
the cacheline. That causes access to ::overload to slow down due to
false sharing. Hence add EAS check before accessing/updating this field.
EAS check is optimized at compile time or it is a static branch.
Hence it shouldn't cost much.

With the patch, both enqueue_task_fair and newidle_balance don't show
up as hot routines in perf profile.

  6.8-rc4:
  7.18%  swapper          [kernel.vmlinux]              [k] enqueue_task_fair
  6.78%  s                [kernel.vmlinux]              [k] newidle_balance

[ Upstream commit 3758f7d9917bd7ef0482c4184c0ad673b4c4e069 ]

The rcuc-starvation output from print_cpu_stall_info() might overflow the
buffer if there is a huge difference in jiffies difference.  The situation
might seem improbable, but computers sometimes get very confused about
time, which can result in full-sized integers, and, in this case,
buffer overflow.

Also, the unsigned jiffies difference is printed using %ld, which is
normally for signed integers.  This is intentional for debugging purposes,
but it is not obvious from the code.

This commit therefore changes sprintf() to snprintf() and adds a
clarifying comment about intention of %ld format.

There is a possibility of buffer overflow in
show_rcu_tasks_trace_gp_kthread() if counters, passed
to sprintf() are huge. Counter numbers, needed for this
are unrealistically high, but buffer overflow is still
possible.

Use snprintf() with buffer size instead of sprintf().

commit c2274b908db05529980ec056359fae916939fdaa upstream.

The reader code in rb_get_reader_page() swaps a new reader page into the
ring buffer by doing cmpxchg on old-&gt;list.prev-&gt;next to point it to the
new page. Following that, if the operation is successful,
old-&gt;list.next-&gt;prev gets updated too. This means the underlying
doubly-linked list is temporarily inconsistent, page-&gt;prev-&gt;next or
page-&gt;next-&gt;prev might not be equal back to page for some page in the
ring buffer.

The resize operation in ring_buffer_resize() can be invoked in parallel.
It calls rb_check_pages() which can detect the described inconsistency
and stop further tracing:

Note that ring_buffer_resize() calls rb_check_pages() only if the parent
trace_buffer has recording disabled. Recent commit d78ab792705c
("tracing: Stop current tracer when resizing buffer") causes that it is
now always the case which makes it more likely to experience this issue.

The window to hit this race is nonetheless very small. To help
reproducing it, one can add a delay loop in rb_get_reader_page():

 ret = rb_head_page_replace(reader, cpu_buffer-&gt;reader_page);
 if (!ret)
 	goto spin;
 for (unsigned i = 0; i &lt; 1U &lt;&lt; 26; i++)  /* inserted delay loop */
 	__asm__ __volatile__ ("" : : : "memory");
 rb_list_head(reader-&gt;list.next)-&gt;prev = &amp;cpu_buffer-&gt;reader_page-&gt;list;

.. and then run the following commands on the target system:

 echo 1 &gt; /sys/kernel/tracing/events/sched/sched_switch/enable
 while true; do
 	echo 16 &gt; /sys/kernel/tracing/buffer_size_kb; sleep 0.1
 	echo 8 &gt; /sys/kernel/tracing/buffer_size_kb; sleep 0.1
 done &amp;
 while true; do
 	for i in /sys/kernel/tracing/per_cpu/*; do
 		timeout 0.1 cat $i/trace_pipe; sleep 0.2
 	done
 done

To fix the problem, make sure ring_buffer_resize() doesn't invoke
rb_check_pages() concurrently with a reader operating on the same
ring_buffer_per_cpu by taking its cpu_buffer-&gt;reader_lock.

Note that ring_buffer_resize() calls rb_check_pages() only if the parent
trace_buffer has recording disabled. Recent commit d78ab792705c
("tracing: Stop current tracer when resizing buffer") causes that it is
now always the case which makes it more likely to experience this issue.

The window to hit this race is nonetheless very small. To help
reproducing it, one can add a delay loop in rb_get_reader_page():

 ret = rb_head_page_replace(reader, cpu_buffer-&gt;reader_page);
 if (!ret)
 	goto spin;
 for (unsigned i = 0; i &lt; 1U &lt;&lt; 26; i++)  /* inserted delay loop */
 	__asm__ __volatile__ ("" : : : "memory");
 rb_list_head(reader-&gt;list.next)-&gt;prev = &amp;cpu_buffer-&gt;reader_page-&gt;list;

.. and then run the following commands on the target system:

 echo 1 &gt; /sys/kernel/tracing/events/sched/sched_switch/enable
 while true; do
 	echo 16 &gt; /sys/kernel/tracing/buffer_size_kb; sleep 0.1
 	echo 8 &gt; /sys/kernel/tracing/buffer_size_kb; sleep 0.1
 done &amp;
 while true; do
 	for i in /sys/kernel/tracing/per_cpu/*; do
 		timeout 0.1 cat $i/trace_pipe; sleep 0.2
 	done
 done

To fix the problem, make sure ring_buffer_resize() doesn't invoke
rb_check_pages() concurrently with a reader operating on the same
ring_buffer_per_cpu by taking its cpu_buffer-&gt;reader_lock.
