git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/tj/sched_ext
Pull sched_ext updates from Tejun Heo:
"Most of this cycle completes the enqueue-path support for hierarchical
sub-scheduling, which makes sub-scheduler support feature complete: a
root BPF scheduler can now hand a cgroup subtree over to a nested
sub-scheduler together with revocable CPU grants, and the
sub-scheduler owns all scheduling decisions for its tasks on those
CPUs.
Development volume was high and a number of changes plugging holes in
the new support landed late in the cycle. Also included are core
scheduling fixes that were completed too late for the v7.2 release and
are routed through this pull request.
Sub-scheduler CPU delegation:
- Parent schedulers now grant and revoke per-CPU capabilities
(enqueueing, preemption, CPU frequency control) on their children,
enforced on every path a scheduler can reach a CPU through.
Previously only dispatching could be delegated; this lets
sub-schedulers fully schedule their CPUs.
- Rescue execution: a task whose scheduler doesn't have access to the
CPUs the task needs to run on starved until the watchdog ejected
the whole scheduler. The kernel now runs such tasks directly on a
small bandwidth budget, turning a scheduler-killing failure into
bounded degradation.
- Cgroup integration: tasks migrating across a sub-scheduler boundary
weren't re-homed to the new owner, causing wrong-scheduler
scheduling and a use-after-free. Sub-schedulers now take over their
cgroup subtree and receive its cgroup callbacks.
- Arena objects now cross the kernel/BPF boundary as typed pointer
arguments, translated transparently by the BPF tree's new arena
argument support, replacing untyped arguments with manual
translation.
- scx_qmap now demonstrates full hierarchical sub-scheduling.
Other fixes and updates:
- Robustness improvements: the abort path is now NMI-safe, fixing
deadlocks when errors are raised from NMI context and making
hardlockup recovery direct. Reenqueue loops that could monopolize a
CPU ahead of the watchdog now eject the offending scheduler, and
stalls are blamed on the scheduler actually responsible.
- Hardening: BPF-writable arena memory is validated before kernel
use, and task slice and vtime writes got explicit synchronization
rules, closing corruption vectors open to buggy or malicious
schedulers.
- Core scheduling: sched_ext dispatching can drop the rq lock inside
the core-wide pick, which let interleaving selections corrupt each
other's state and hard-hang the machine. The selection now restarts
when the lock was released. The task ordering callback was also
invoked with its arguments swapped, and the default ordering is
updated to work across sub-scheduler boundaries. The fixes are
marked for stable.
- Other fixes headed for stable: a task init leak on fork failure
during enable, tooling compat macros that silently failed to detect
newer kernels, and a crash on reenqueueing against a destroyed
dispatch queue.
- Tooling: scx_pair moves off deprecated callbacks, and the
deprecated scx_bpf_cpu_rq() kfunc is removed"

Pull timer and timekeeping core updates from Thomas Gleixner:
- Fix a subtly inconsistency in the timekeeping code, which fails to
account for the monotonicity adjustment in ntp_error.
For small changes of the clocksource multiplicator (+/-1) which are
typically used by the NTP PLL this is hard to observe. But for larger
adjustments, e.g. caused by a direct frequency setting through
adjtimex() the one-time uncompensated offset is significant.
Cure this by adjusting ntp_error with the resulting offset so that
the discrepancy is smoothed away over time
- Make tick length calculations correct in NTP.
The timekeeping core takes the quantisation of the clocksource into
account when calculating the tick length to compensate for the
deviation of the nominal NTP_INTERVAL_LENGTH.
While timekeeping gets this right, NTP is not aware of that, which
means it operates on the nominal value and not on the actual value
which is determined by the clock source frequency. The rounding of a
coarse clocksource like the ACPI PM timer results in a +127 PPM
deviation.
Cure this by exposing the deviation to the NTP code so that it can
operate on the same data as the timekeeping core. This is purely
kernel internal. User space still sees the nominal tick lenght via
adjtimex().
- The accuracy of the NTP adjustments is fairly approximate as the code
assumes that the invocations are precisely in NTP interval frequency
ticks and the final adjustment can over and under-run.
Cure this by adjusting ntp_error by the intended skew on each tick to
achieve the desired rate.
- Handle the two competing skews of time offset and time adjustment
correctly by calculating the conflict portion between the skews and
adjusting both accordingly.
- A set of updates and improvements for the selftests
- The usual small fixes and improvements all over the place

dequeue_task_scx() masks SCX_DEQ_CORE_SCHED_EXEC out of the
SCX_DEQ_SCHED_CHANGE decision, but the test can never fire: the incoming
flags are an int of generic DEQUEUE_* bits while the flag is bit 32, and the
core-sched execute path never goes through class dequeue anyway -
set_next_task_scx() calls ops_dequeue() with the flag directly. The test was
live when the SCX_DEQ_SCHED_CHANGE computation sat in ops_dequeue() and
became dead when 03f5304aad0f ("sched_ext: Pass full dequeue flags to
ops.quiescent()") moved the computation here. Drop it.

With sub-schedulers, tasks of different schedulers routinely share rqs and
SMT siblings, but scx_prio_less() consults ops.core_sched_before() only when
both tasks belong to the same scheduler. Every pair spanning two schedulers
falls back to the default ordering, so no scheduler can express ordering
across a scheduler boundary, including a root over its sub-schedulers'
tasks.
Order a pair spanning schedulers by the nearest common ancestor that
implements ops.core_sched_before(): both tasks are in its subtree, making
this the one op where a scheduler is called on tasks it delegated to its
sub-schedulers and may not be scheduling anymore. Same-scheduler pairs keep
using the owning scheduler's op so a parent never orders inside a subtree it
delegated. The op is skipped when the deciding scheduler is bypassing on
either task's CPU.
Update scx_qmap to fall back to the kernel's default ordering when handed a
delegated task it has no task_ctx for.

The default core-sched ordering runs the longest waiting task first by
comparing p->scx.core_sched_at stamps. The stamp is maintained under two
rules. touch_core_sched() stamps when a task starts waiting for a CPU and
when its slice runs out. If the scheduler implements
ops.core_sched_before(), touch_core_sched_dispatch() re-stamps on every
dispatch.
A comparison can see one stamp taken under each rule, which isn't a
meaningful ordering. The dispatch rule also buys little - it only aligns
bypass-mode comparisons with the local DSQ order. Multiple schedulers make
the mixed comparisons more common.
Wait time is what p->scx.runnable_at already tracks for the stall watchdog.
Delete core_sched_at with both touch functions and compare runnable_at in
the scx_prio_less() fallback.
runnable_at is refreshed only on enqueue and goes stale while a task keeps
occupying its CPU. Instead of re-stamping, order a running task after every
waiting task as it is the most recently serviced.

scx_prio_less() implements prio_less() semantics - %true means that @a is
the lower priority and should run after @b. ops.core_sched_before() is
documented to return %true when @a should run before @b. scx_prio_less()
returns the op's value as-is, inverting the documented semantics at runtime.

scx_qmap followed the wiring instead of the documentation and returned %true

The fixup demoting a keep verdict when @prev is not on ext_sched_class

balancing and picking were separate operations.
The verdict now travels in the return value, created and consumed in one

kick_sync_wait_bal_cb() assumes it runs on the rq's CPU from the
__schedule() tail: the snapshots it compares against live in that CPU's
percpu area and the busy-wait runs with the rq lock dropped and IRQs
enabled.
However, dispatch can now drop the rq lock while the callback sits queued,
and rq lock takers in that window (the sched class change paths, the scx
task iterator) flush pending balance callbacks on release, running the
callback on a foreign CPU. Such a run compares against unrelated snapshots
and can deadlock when the executing CPU is itself a wait target.
Bail on a foreign CPU and leave the wait state alone. The wait only observes
progress that the resched kicks already guarantee and the rq's next wait
picks up the stale cpus_to_sync bits.

scx_root_disable() invalidates each rq's clock before taking the rq lock.
scx_rq_clock_invalidate() is a plain read-modify-write of rq->scx.flags and
every other writer of the word runs under the rq lock, so the unlocked
update can race a concurrent flags update and lose one side's bits.
The invalidation doesn't matter in the first place. The cached clock is read
only by scx_bpf_now() from a loaded scheduler's BPF programs, nothing can
re-validate the clock while sched_ext is disabled as scx_rq_clock_update()
is gated on scx_enabled() too, and the usual rq lock cycles under the next
scheduler refresh or invalidate it before it's practically observable. Drop
the invalidation instead of fixing the locking.

scx_process_sync_ecaps() sets up the dispatch context for
ops.sub_ecaps_updated() in the target cpu's pcpu context recovered from the
llist node. However, the context is per executing cpu: the dispatch kfuncs
resolve it with this_cpu_ptr() and the dispatch buffer lives in it. What the
dispatches target is determined by the rq recorded in the context, not by
which cpu's context it is. Under core scheduling the pick runs balance_one()
for sibling rqs, so a sync processed for a sibling invokes the op with the
executing cpu's context not set up and its dispatch kfuncs misoperate on a
NULL or stale rq.
Set up the executing cpu's dsp_ctx instead, matching scx_dispatch_sched().
The recorded rq keeps the dispatches targeting the synced cpu.

When a fair task is enqueued, we must update curr and more precisely
its vruntime before placing the enqueued task so avg vruntime will take
into account the last exec phase.
Example:
TA is an always running task in cgroup G0.
TB is a short running task (cyclictest) in cgroup G1.
The lag of TB always increases up the clamp limit because TB is placed
before TA(curr) is updated (since the last tick). When curr(TA) is
finally updated, its last exec phase provide positive lag to TB
Because TA and TB don't belong to the same group, enqueue_hierarchy() will not
update TA's entity when updating curr but only G0's entity at root level.
The same applies when dequeuing.
This is because update_curr() uses ->h_curr, rather than ->curr, and therefore,
while it is invoked on the root cfs_rq, which contains all the eevdf bits, it
does not do the right thing.

IOW, we shouldn't free memblock allocated memory so early

deferred_init_memmap().
Fix it by saving the housekeeping cpumask memblock memory to be
freed into a llist free list in housekeeping_init() and add a new
housekeeping_late_init() helper to defer the actual freeing of memblock
memory to when initcall's are being processed. The cpumask memblock
memory is treated as a llist_node with the size of a "long" type which
is also smallest cpumask size that can be allocated.
The non-atomic version of the llist APIs are used as there is no
contention.
This commit depends on the presence of commit 7c2eee9c1367 ("memblock:

scx_bpf_cid_override() predates the cid-form arena transition and takes its
arrays as verifier-checked mem+size buffers, forcing scx_qmap to keep the
cpu_to_cid and shard_start arrays in writable bss while the rest of its

schedulers start seeing real use.
BPF now translates between BPF and kernel arena addresses for __arena

before them.
scx_qmap moves the arrays into struct qmap_arena. As the arena is mmapped at

load.

Core scheduling's pick_next_task() picks what to run on every SMT sibling of
the core in a single pass under the shared core-wide rq lock. The selection
state is consistent only while the lock is held continuously, so
->pick_task() originally could not release it. However, since 4c95380701f5
("sched/ext: Fold balance_scx() into pick_task_scx()"), sched_ext runs
dispatch from inside the pick and dispatching can drop the rq lock. To
support this, pick_next_task() has been updated to restart the whole
selection when a pick returns RETRY_TASK after releasing the lock.
When selections on the same core interleave through the dropped lock, they
corrupt each other's state: one clears the other's rq->core_pick leading to
a NULL deref, or invalidates its keep-the-previous-task decision leaving a
dequeued task running, which deadlocks the next wakeup and matches the
reported hard hangs. A cookied ping-pong load on an SMT machine makes the
interleavings frequent and kills the kernel within seconds.
Fix it by making the pick return RETRY_TASK whenever dispatch released the
rq lock, so that a selection only ever commits picks made under a
continuously held lock. The previous patch's rq->scx.lock_drop_seq counts
the releases. A dispatch that touched nothing never releases the lock and
its verdict, including "nothing to run", stands: retries are bounded, each
following a dispatch that actually did something, and an idle CPU does not
loop.
If another dispatch is already in flight on the rq, skip dispatching and
pick from what is already queued locally - the in-flight dispatch has
released the lock, so its own selection will retry and re-pick this rq,
while returning RETRY_TASK here would only spin on the lock that dispatch
needs to finish.
Balance callbacks must run in the context that queued them, so they can only
be queued on the CPU's own rq. When dispatching for another rq, run the
deferred work directly instead - that rq may consume all its picks through
the core-sched fast path and never queue the callback itself.
The put_prev_task_scx() warning about a runnable task being left behind
assumed that dispatch ran as part of the very pick that is switching away.
That now only holds on the non-core path, so gate it and drop the
cookie-match test, which is always true without core scheduling, from its
condition.

Under core scheduling, dispatch runs from within the core-wide pick and can
target a sibling rq, so ops.dispatch() may execute on a CPU different from
the dispatched rq's. Several kfunc paths assumed the two always coincide:
- scx_dsq_move() decided whether an rq lock is held by testing this_rq()'s
rq flags and lock-danced accordingly. A dispatch for a sibling took the
unlocked-context branch and acquired the source rq lock on top of the
already held dispatched rq lock which could deadlock.
- scx_bpf_sub_dispatch() dispatched this_rq() with its stashed
sub_dispatch_prev, which is NULL when dispatching for a sibling.
- finish_dispatch(), scx_bpf_dsq_reenq() and scx_bpf_dsq_nr_queued()
resolved SCX_DSQ_LOCAL to this CPU's local DSQ rather than the dispatched
rq's. The latter two are callable from other rq-locked operations too,
where SCX_DSQ_LOCAL now likewise resolves to the op's rq. This changes
behavior also without core scheduling, e.g. for ops.enqueue() running a
remote wakeup on the waking CPU, and is intended: which CPU happens to
execute an operation is incidental, the op's rq is what it is operating
on, and the resolution now matches the insert side where SCX_DSQ_LOCAL
dispatches land on the task's rq.
Use the rq tracked by scx_locked_rq(), which is set to the dispatched rq
around ops invocations and NULL in unlocked contexts.

SCX_RQ_BAL_KEEP tells the pick to keep running the previous task, a leftover
from when balancing and picking were separate operations. An rq-level flag
only works while dispatches and picks pair up one to one, which core
scheduling breaks: selections interleave through dispatch's lock drops and a
pick can consume a stale flag, keeping a task that has since been dequeued.
Fixing core scheduling support requires the decision to travel with the
dispatch that made it. Make scx_dispatch_sched() and balance_one() return an
explicit verdict instead and drop the flag's plumbing from the tools autogen
enum headers.
Also factor the pick-side invocation, its follow-up queueing and the
post-dispatch checks out of do_pick_task_scx() into dispatch_pick(). No
functional changes intended.

Core scheduling's pick_next_task() operates on all sibling rqs under one
acquisition of the shared core-wide lock. A ->pick_task() that releases the
rq lock leaves every sibling __lock momentarily free, letting
__sched_core_flip(false) complete mid-selection and rebind rq_lockp() under
it. The selection resumes on the split locks, touching sibling state it no
longer protects, and __schedule() finally releases a lock that was never
taken while leaking the one that was.
Count in-flight core-wide selections in the leader's rq->core_pick_in_flight
and make __sched_core_flip() wait for the count to drain. The count only
changes under the shared lock, which the flip holds while sampling, so no
other ordering is needed. The wait can repeat while selections overlap, but
the flip backs off between samples and flips are rare cookie-lifetime
events.
sched_core_cpu_deactivate() moves the count to the new leader - a stale copy
left behind would bias it forever if that CPU later returns as its own
leader.

Core scheduling's pick_next_task() breaks when a ->pick_task()
implementation can release the rq lock. The selection state derived on entry
is only valid while the lock is held continuously. Once a pick can drop the
lock, an interleaving selection can invalidate all of it: the single-CPU
fast path can commit an uncookied pick although the core went cookied during
the release, and forceidle committed by the interleaving selection skews the
restarted pass's accounting.
Fix it by restarting the whole selection when a pick returns RETRY_TASK
after releasing the lock: a single restart point above the state derivation
replaces the per-loop restart labels, so a retry picks up state committed by
interleaving selections and accounts and resets forceidle like a fresh
selection would.
need_sync and fi_before latch across retries. Clock validity can't be
re-derived - there is no program-ordered way to tell whether the own and
core rq clocks are still updated after the lock was released, as other
lockers' pin cycles may or may not have invalidated them. When restarting,
clear core_clock_updated so that the sibling loop re-updates the core rq,
and update the own rq clock if invalidated.

With the changes that enable preempt count to track IRQ disabling
nesting, we don't have enough bits in 32-bit preempt count
implementation, as a result we move NMI nesting bits out of the 32-bit
preempt count. However on the architectures that can support 64-bit
preempt count implementation, we can keep the NMI nesting bits in the
32-bit preempt count and avoid maintaining NMI nesting bits outside of
the same cache line.
Therefore HAS_SEPARATE_PREEMPT_RESCHED_BITS is introduced to allow
architectures to select this. Note that under this Kconfig, preempt
count is maintained in a 64-bit word however preempt_count() still
remains as an int because all the effective bits still fit in
(previously we mask out NEED_RESCHED bit in preempt_count()). This
should make no functional changes for existing preempt_count() users.
Enable this for x86_64 along with the introduction of the Kconfig.

Currently preempt_count() is always a non-negative int on all archs
(PREEMPT_NEED_RESCHED archs will mask out the MSB when returning
preempt_count()), hence the checking in __cant_migrate() is in fact just
checking whether preempt_count() is 0 or not. In a future change, we are
going to use all the 32 bits of preempt_count(), which would make
negative int values possible from preempt_count(). Therefore convert the
"> 0" comparison into a zero check to prepare for the future change.

The semantics of various IRQ disabling guards match what
*_irq_{disable,enable}() provide, i.e. the interrupt disabling is
properly nested, therefore it's OK to switch to use
*_irq_{disable,enable}() primitives.

Commit 9c63e84db29b ("sched/core: Disable SD_PREFER_SIBLING on asymmetric
CPU capacity domains") removed the SD_PREFER_SIBLING from the domains with
asymmetric capacity. This was done to avoid spreading tasks to sibling
scheduling groups with less capacity, but this does not happen: checks for
capacity in update_sd_pick_busiest(), sched_balance_find_src_group(), and
sched_balance_find_src_rq() prevent migrations from high- to low-capacity
CPUs if the busiest group is not overloaded.
The cluster topology is a notable example: some systems have scheduling
domains spanning CPUs of asymmetric capacity, grouped into two or more
equal-capacity clusters sharing an L2 cache. When CONFIG_SCHED_CLUSTER is
enabled, SD_PREFER_SIBLING is needed in the domain to spread load across
these clusters.
CPUs with spare capacity, big or small, have always helped overloaded
groups. Once the overloading condition disappears, misfit load will still
be used to move high-utilization tasks to bigger CPUs if they have spare
capacity.
Adding the SD_PREFER_SIBLING flag shifts load balancing in shared-LLC
domains from equalizing the number of idle CPUs to equalizing the number
of running tasks. This enables migrations among clusters from newly-idle
load balance, where the outgoing task is already dequeued but the CPU
has not yet transitioned to idle.

sched_balance_find_src_rq() avoids selecting a runqueue with a single
running task as busiest if doing so results in migrating the task to a
CPU with less than ~5% of extra capacity. It also unintentionally
prevents migrations between CPUs of identical capacity.
When CONFIG_SCHED_CLUSTER is enabled, load should be balanced across
clusters of CPUs with the same capacity. Allowing migration between CPUs
of identical capacity is necessary to meet this goal.
Use get_actual_cpu_capacity() to reflect architectural capacity as well
as diminished capacity due to hardware or cpufreq pressure. Guard this
check with the sched_cluster_active static key so that systems without
cluster topology are unaffected.

In domains with asymmetric capacity, identifying misfit load in a
scheduling group is not useful when the destination CPU cannot help (i.e.,
its capacity exceeds the group's maximum CPU capacity by less than ~5%). In
such cases, it also prevents load balance among clusters of equal capacity
when CONFIG_SCHED_CLUSTER is enabled. This happens because
update_sd_pick_busiest() skips candidate groups of type misfit_task if the
destination CPU has similar capacity.
Skipping misfit load accounting in this situation allows the group to be
classified as has_spare or fully_busy and lets load balancing proceed. Keep
marking scheduling groups as overloaded when misfit tasks are present. The
sg_overloaded flag propagates to the root domain and allows bigger CPUs in
it to help via newly idle balance.

update_sd_pick_busiest() may incorrectly select a fully_busy group as the
busiest group when its per-CPU capacity exceeds that of the destination
CPU. This happens because the type of busiest group is initialized to
group_has_spare and allows the fully_busy group to win the type comparison.
update_sd_pick_busiest() should not choose a candidate scheduling group
with at most one runnable task if its per-CPU capacity is greater than that
of the destination CPU. Such a check already exists, but it is done too
late: after the type comparison, preventing a subsequent fully_busy group
of equal per-CPU capacity from being correctly selected.
Move this check to occur before comparing group types.

The argument sg_overloaded of update_sg_lb_stats() is only consumed when
balancing at the root domain. It only makes sense to update it in such a
case. Commit 3229adbe7875 ("sched/fair: Do not compute overloaded status
unnecessarily during lb") updated the logic accordingly but missed the case
in which the root domain has the SD_ASYM_CPUCAPACITY flag. Fix this.

When picking a busiest CPU with only one running task, the function
sched_balance_find_src_rq() skips candidate CPUs if the destination CPU has
less than ~5% extra capacity. This condition only holds if all the SMT
siblings of a CPU are idle.
SMT siblings share the computing resources of a physical core and this
results in reduced capacity if more than one sibling is busy.
Skipping a CPU as described would prevent the load balancer from pulling
tasks from a scheduling group previously and correctly identified as
group_smt_balance (i.e., one with more than one task running).
Do not skip a candidate CPU of similar capacity if it has busy SMT
siblings.
