<title>cgroup/cpuset: Eliminate unncessary sched domains rebuilds in hotplug</title>

It was found that some hotplug operations may cause multiple
rebuild_sched_domains_locked() calls. Some of those intermediate calls
may use cpuset states not in the final correct form leading to incorrect
sched domain setting.

Fix this problem by using the existing force_rebuild flag to inhibit
immediate rebuild_sched_domains_locked() calls if set and only doing
one final call at the end. Also renaming the force_rebuild flag to
force_sd_rebuild to make its meaning for clear.

<title>cgroup/cpuset: Clear effective_xcpus on cpus_allowed clearing only if cpus.exclusive not set</title>

Commit e2ffe502ba45 ("cgroup/cpuset: Add cpuset.cpus.exclusive for
v2") adds a user writable cpuset.cpus.exclusive file for setting
exclusive CPUs to be used for the creation of partitions. Since then
effective_xcpus depends on both the cpuset.cpus and cpuset.cpus.exclusive
setting. If cpuset.cpus.exclusive is set, effective_xcpus will depend
only on cpuset.cpus.exclusive.  When it is not set, effective_xcpus
will be set according to the cpuset.cpus value when the cpuset becomes
a valid partition root.

When cpuset.cpus is being cleared by the user, effective_xcpus should
only be cleared when cpuset.cpus.exclusive is not set. However, that
is not currently the case.

  # cd /sys/fs/cgroup/
  # mkdir test
  # echo +cpuset &gt; cgroup.subtree_control
  # cd test
  # echo 3 &gt; cpuset.cpus.exclusive
  # cat cpuset.cpus.exclusive.effective
  3
  # echo &gt; cpuset.cpus
  # cat cpuset.cpus.exclusive.effective // was cleared

Fix it by clearing effective_xcpus only if cpuset.cpus.exclusive is
not set.

echo root &gt; cpuset.cpus.partition
cat /sys/fs/cgroup/cpuset.cpus.effective
0-3
echo 0-3 &gt; cpuset.cpus // taking away all cpus from root

This issue is caused by the incorrect rebuilding of scheduling domains.
In this scenario, test/cpuset.cpus.partition should be an invalid root
and should not trigger the rebuilding of scheduling domains. When calling
update_parent_effective_cpumask with partcmd_update, if newmask is not
null, it should recheck newmask whether there are cpus is available
for parect/cs that has tasks.

Currently the event counting provided by misc.events is hierarchical,
it's not practical if user is only concerned with events of a
specified cgroup. Therefore, introduce misc.events.local collect events
specific to the given cgroup.

This is analogous to memory.events.local and pids.events.local.

<title>cgroup: Protect css-&gt;cgroup write under css_set_lock</title>

<content type='text'>
The writing of css-&gt;cgroup associated with the cgroup root in
rebind_subsystems() is currently protected only by cgroup_mutex.
However, the reading of css-&gt;cgroup in both proc_cpuset_show() and
proc_cgroup_show() is protected just by css_set_lock. That makes the
readers susceptible to racing problems like data tearing or caching.
It is also a problem that can be reported by KCSAN.

This can be fixed by using READ_ONCE() and WRITE_ONCE() to access
css-&gt;cgroup. Alternatively, the writing of css-&gt;cgroup can be moved
under css_set_lock as well which is done by this patch.

An UAF can happen when /proc/cpuset is read as reported in [1].

This can be reproduced by the following methods:
1.add an mdelay(1000) before acquiring the cgroup_lock In the
 cgroup_path_ns function.
2.$cat /proc/&lt;pid&gt;/cpuset   repeatly.
3.$mount -t cgroup -o cpuset cpuset /sys/fs/cgroup/cpuset/
$umount /sys/fs/cgroup/cpuset/   repeatly.

The race that cause this bug can be shown as below:

(umount)		|	(cat /proc/&lt;pid&gt;/cpuset)
css_release		|	proc_cpuset_show
css_release_work_fn	|	css = task_get_css(tsk, cpuset_cgrp_id);
css_free_rwork_fn	|	cgroup_path_ns(css-&gt;cgroup, ...);
cgroup_destroy_root	|	mutex_lock(&amp;cgroup_mutex);
rebind_subsystems	|
cgroup_free_root 	|
			|	// cgrp was freed, UAF
			|	cgroup_path_ns_locked(cgrp,..);

When the cpuset is initialized, the root node top_cpuset.css.cgrp
will point to &amp;cgrp_dfl_root.cgrp. In cgroup v1, the mount operation will
allocate cgroup_root, and top_cpuset.css.cgrp will point to the allocated
&amp;cgroup_root.cgrp. When the umount operation is executed,
top_cpuset.css.cgrp will be rebound to &amp;cgrp_dfl_root.cgrp.

The problem is that when rebinding to cgrp_dfl_root, there are cases
where the cgroup_root allocated by setting up the root for cgroup v1
is cached. This could lead to a Use-After-Free (UAF) if it is
subsequently freed. The descendant cgroups of cgroup v1 can only be
freed after the css is released. However, the css of the root will never
be released, yet the cgroup_root should be freed when it is unmounted.
This means that obtaining a reference to the css of the root does
not guarantee that css.cgrp-&gt;root will not be freed.

Fix this problem by using rcu_read_lock in proc_cpuset_show().
As cgroup_root is kfree_rcu after commit d23b5c577715
("cgroup: Make operations on the cgroup root_list RCU safe"),
css-&gt;cgroup won't be freed during the critical section.
To call cgroup_path_ns_locked, css_set_lock is needed, so it is safe to
replace task_get_css with task_css.

<title>cgroup/cpuset: Make cpuset.cpus.exclusive independent of cpuset.cpus</title>

The "cpuset.cpus.exclusive.effective" value is currently limited to a
subset of its "cpuset.cpus". This makes the exclusive CPUs distribution
hierarchy subsumed within the larger "cpuset.cpus" hierarchy. We have to
decide on what CPUs are used locally and what CPUs can be passed down as
exclusive CPUs down the hierarchy and combine them into "cpuset.cpus".

The advantage of the current scheme is to have only one hierarchy to
worry about. However, it make it harder to use as all the "cpuset.cpus"
values have to be properly set along the way down to the designated remote
partition root. It also makes it more cumbersome to find out what CPUs
can be used locally.

Make creation of remote partition simpler by breaking the
dependency of "cpuset.cpus.exclusive" on "cpuset.cpus" and make
them independent entities. Now we have two separate hierarchies -
one for setting "cpuset.cpus.effective" and the other one for setting
"cpuset.cpus.exclusive.effective". We may not need to set "cpuset.cpus"
when we activate a partition root anymore.

Also update Documentation/admin-guide/cgroup-v2.rst and cpuset.c comment
to document this change.
