There is an error scenario where on a 1x1 HMP system (weight of the
hmp_slow_cpu_mask is 1) the short-cut of restricting the allowed cpu mask
of an rt tasks leads to triggering a kernel bug in the rt sched class
set_cpus_allowed function set_cpus_allowed_rt().
In case the task is on the run-queue and the weight of the required cpu mask
is 1 and this is different to the p->nr_cpus_allowed value, this back-end
function interprets this in such a way that a task changed from being
migratable to not migratable anymore and decrements the rt_nr_migratory
counter. There is a BUG_ON(!rq->rt.rt_nr_migratory) check in this code
path which triggers in this situation.
To circumvent this issue, set the number of allowed cpus for a task p to
the weight of the hmp_slow_cpu_mask before calling do_set_cpus_allowed()
in __setscheduler(). It will be set to this value in do_set_cpus_allowed()
after the call to the sched class related backend function any way. By
doing this, set_cpus_allowed_rt() returns without trying to update the
rt_nr_migratory counter.
This patch has been tested with a test device driver requiring a threaded
irq handler on a TC2 system with a reduced cpu mask (1 Cortex A15, 1
Cortex A7).

We use get_task_struct to increment the ref count on a task_struct
so that even if the task dies with a pending migration we are still
able to read the memory without causing a fault.
In the case of non-running tasks, we forgot to decrement the ref
count when we are done with the task.

If we migrate a sleeping task away from a CPU which has the
tick stopped, then both the clock_task and decay_counter will
be out of date for that CPU and we will not decay load correctly
regardless of how often we update the blocked load.
This is only an issue for tasks which are not on a runqueue
(because otherwise that CPU would be awake) and simultaneously
the CPU the task previously ran on has had the tick stopped.

If an entity happens to sleep for less than one tick duration
the tracked load associated with that entity can be decayed by an
unexpectedly large amount if it is later migrated to a different
CPU. This can interfere with correct scheduling when entity load
is used for decision making.
The reason for this is that when an entity is dequeued and enqueued
quickly, such that se.avg.decay_count and cfs_rq.decay_counter
do not differ when that entity is enqueued again,
__synchronize_entity_decay skips the calculation step and also skips
clearing the decay_count. At a later time that entity may be
migrated and its load will be decayed incorrectly.
All users of this function expect decay_count to be zero'ed after
use.

At present we print per-entity load-tracking statistics for
cfs_rq of cgroups/runqueues. Given that per task statistics
is maintained, it can be used to know the contribution made
by the task to its parenting cfs_rq level.
This patch adds per-task load-tracking statistics to /proc/<PID>/sched.

commit 0ac9b1c21874d2490331233b3242085f8151e166 upstream.
Currently, group entity load-weights are initialized to zero. This
admits some races with respect to the first time they are re-weighted in
earlty use. ( Let g[x] denote the se for "g" on cpu "x". )
Suppose that we have root->a and that a enters a throttled state,
immediately followed by a[0]->t1 (the only task running on cpu[0])
blocking:
put_prev_task(group_cfs_rq(a[0]), t1)
put_prev_entity(..., t1)
check_cfs_rq_runtime(group_cfs_rq(a[0]))
throttle_cfs_rq(group_cfs_rq(a[0]))
Then, before unthrottling occurs, let a[0]->b[0]->t2 wake for the first
time:
enqueue_task_fair(rq[0], t2)
enqueue_entity(group_cfs_rq(b[0]), t2)
enqueue_entity_load_avg(group_cfs_rq(b[0]), t2)
account_entity_enqueue(group_cfs_ra(b[0]), t2)
update_cfs_shares(group_cfs_rq(b[0]))
< skipped because b is part of a throttled hierarchy >
enqueue_entity(group_cfs_rq(a[0]), b[0])
...
We now have b[0] enqueued, yet group_cfs_rq(a[0])->load.weight == 0
which violates invariants in several code-paths. Eliminate the
possibility of this by initializing group entity weight.

commit 927b54fccbf04207ec92f669dce6806848cbec7d upstream.
__start_cfs_bandwidth calls hrtimer_cancel while holding rq->lock,
waiting for the hrtimer to finish. However, if sched_cfs_period_timer
runs for another loop iteration, the hrtimer can attempt to take
rq->lock, resulting in deadlock.
Fix this by ensuring that cfs_b->timer_active is cleared only if the
_latest_ call to do_sched_cfs_period_timer is returning as idle. Then
__start_cfs_bandwidth can just call hrtimer_try_to_cancel and wait for
that to succeed or timer_active == 1.

hrtimer_expires_remaining does not take internal hrtimer locks and thus

commit 1ee14e6c8cddeeb8a490d7b54cd9016e4bb900b4 upstream.
When we transition cfs_bandwidth_used to false, any currently
throttled groups will incorrectly return false from cfs_rq_throttled.
While tg_set_cfs_bandwidth will unthrottle them eventually, currently
running code (including at least dequeue_task_fair and
distribute_cfs_runtime) will cause errors.
Fix this by turning off cfs_bandwidth_used only after unthrottling all
cfs_rqs.
Tested: toggle bandwidth back and forth on a loaded cgroup. Caused
crashes in minutes without the patch, hasn't crashed with it.

commit e0acd0a68ec7dbf6b7a81a87a867ebd7ac9b76c4 upstream.
This is only theoretical, but after try_to_wake_up(p) was changed
to check p->state under p->pi_lock the code like
__set_current_state(TASK_INTERRUPTIBLE);
schedule();
can miss a signal. This is the special case of wait-for-condition,
it relies on try_to_wake_up/schedule interaction and thus it does
not need mb() between __set_current_state() and if(signal_pending).
However, this __set_current_state() can move into the critical
section protected by rq->lock, now that try_to_wake_up() takes
another lock we need to ensure that it can't be reordered with
"if (signal_pending(current))" check inside that section.
The patch is actually one-liner, it simply adds smp_wmb() before
spin_lock_irq(rq->lock). This is what try_to_wake_up() already
does by the same reason.
We turn this wmb() into the new helper, smp_mb__before_spinlock(),
for better documentation and to allow the architectures to change
the default implementation.
While at it, kill smp_mb__after_lock(), it has no callers.
Perhaps we can also add smp_mb__before/after_spinunlock() for
prepare_to_wait().

commit 757dfcaa41844595964f1220f1d33182dae49976 upstream.
This patch touches the RT group scheduling case.
Functions inc_rt_prio_smp() and dec_rt_prio_smp() change (global) rq's
priority, while rt_rq passed to them may be not the top-level rt_rq.
This is wrong, because changing of priority on a child level does not
guarantee that the priority is the highest all over the rq. So, this
leak makes RT balancing unusable.
The short example: the task having the highest priority among all rq's
RT tasks (no one other task has the same priority) are waking on a
throttle rt_rq. The rq's cpupri is set to the task's priority
equivalent, but real rq->rt.highest_prio.curr is less.
The patch below fixes the problem.

commit f9f9ffc237dd924f048204e8799da74f9ecf40cf upstream.
throttle_cfs_rq() doesn't check to make sure that period_timer is running,
and while update_curr/assign_cfs_runtime does, a concurrently running
period_timer on another cpu could cancel itself between this cpu's
update_curr and throttle_cfs_rq(). If there are no other cfs_rqs running
in the tg to restart the timer, this causes the cfs_rq to be stranded
forever.
Fix this by calling __start_cfs_bandwidth() in throttle if the timer is
inactive.
(Also add some sched_debug lines for cfs_bandwidth.)
Tested: make a run/sleep task in a cgroup, loop switching the cgroup
between 1ms/100ms quota and unlimited, checking for timer_active=0 and
throttled=1 as a failure. With the throttle_cfs_rq() change commented out
this fails, with the full patch it passes.

The woken migrated task will __synchronize_entity_decay(se); in
migrate_task_rq_fair, then it needs to set
`se->avg.last_runnable_update -= (-se->avg.decay_count) << 20' before
update_entity_load_avg, in order to avoid sleep time is updated twice
for se.avg.load_avg_contrib in both __syncchronize and
update_entity_load_avg.
However if the sleeping task is woken up from the same cpu, it miss
the last_runnable_update before update_entity_load_avg(se, 0, 1), then
the sleep time was used twice in both functions. So we need to remove
the double sleep time accounting.

In order to allow userspace to restrict known low-load tasks to
little CPUs, we must export this knowledge from the kernel or
expect userspace to make their own attempts at figuring it out.
Since we now have a userspace requirement for an HMP implementation
to always have at least some sysfs files, change the integration
so that it only depends upon CONFIG_SCHED_HMP rather than
CONFIG_HMP_VARIABLE_SCALE. Fix Kconfig text to match.

When migrating a runnable task, we use the CPU stopper on
the source CPU to ensure that the task to be moved is not
currently running. Before this patch, all forced migrations
(up, offload, idle pull) use the stopper for every migration.
Using the CPU stopper is mandatory only when a task is currently
running on a CPU. Otherwise tasks can be moved by locking the
source and destination run queues.
This patch checks to see if the task to be moved are currently
running. If not the task is moved directly without using the
stopper thread.

packing_enable: task packing enabled (1) or disabled (0)

The previous API for hmp_up_migration reset the destination
CPU every time, regardless of if a migration was desired. The code
using it assumed that the value would not be changed unless
a migration was required. In one rare circumstance, this could
have lead to a task migrating to a little CPU at the wrong time.
Fixing that lead to a slight logical tweak to make the surrounding
APIs operate a bit more obviously.

When the up-threshold is at 512 on TC2, behaviour looks OK since
the graphic-related tasks are very heavy due to lack of a GPU.
Increasing the up-threshold does not reduce power consumption.
When a GPU is present, graphic tasks are much less CPU-heavy and
so additional power may be saved by having a higher threshold.

invalid ones
commit 6c9a27f5da9609fca46cb2b183724531b48f71ad upstream.
There is a small race between copy_process() and cgroup_attach_task()
where child->se.parent,cfs_rq points to invalid (old) ones.
parent doing fork() | someone moving the parent to another cgroup
-------------------------------+---------------------------------------------
copy_process()
+ dup_task_struct()
-> parent->se is copied to child->se.
se.parent,cfs_rq of them point to old ones.
cgroup_attach_task()
+ cgroup_task_migrate()
-> parent->cgroup is updated.
+ cpu_cgroup_attach()
+ sched_move_task()
+ task_move_group_fair()
+- set_task_rq()
-> se.parent,cfs_rq of parent
are updated.
+ cgroup_fork()
-> parent->cgroup is copied to child->cgroup. (*1)
+ sched_fork()
+ task_fork_fair()
-> se.parent,cfs_rq of child are accessed
while they point to old ones. (*2)
In the worst case, this bug can lead to "use-after-free" and cause a panic,
because it's new cgroup's refcount that is incremented at (*1),
so the old cgroup(and related data) can be freed before (*2).
In fact, a panic caused by this bug was originally caught in RHEL6.4.

commit 5a8e01f8fa51f5cbce8f37acc050eb2319d12956 upstream.
scale_stime() silently assumes that stime < rtime, otherwise
when stime == rtime and both values are big enough (operations
on them do not fit in 32 bits), the resulting scaling stime can
be bigger than rtime. In consequence utime = rtime - stime
results in negative value.
User space visible symptoms of the bug are overflowed TIME
values on ps/top, for example:
$ ps aux | grep rcu
root 8 0.0 0.0 0 0 ? S 12:42 0:00 [rcuc/0]
root 9 0.0 0.0 0 0 ? S 12:42 0:00 [rcub/0]

all tasks actually on the CPU. However, it includes RT tasks which
we would rather ignore at this point.
Switching to cfs.h_nr_running includes all the CFS tasks but no
RT tasks.

Experimentally, one of the best policies for HMP migration CPU
selection is to completely ignore part-loaded CPUs and only look
for idle ones. If there are no idle ones, we will choose the one
which was least-recently-disturbed.

The original intent here was to track unweighted runqueue load
with less resolution so we could use the least-recently-disturbed
runqueue to choose between 'closely related' load levels.
However, after experimenting with the resolution it turns out
that the following algorithm is highly beneficial for mobile
workloads.
In hmp_domain_min_load:
* If any CPU is zero, the overall load is zero
* If no CPUs are idle, the domain is 'fully loaded'
Additionally, the time since last migration count is used to
discriminate between idle CPUs.

Track when migrations were performed to runqueues.
Use this to decide between runqueues as migration targets when run
queues in an hmp domain have equal load.
Intention is to spread migration load amongst CPUs more fairly.
When all CPUs in an hmp domain are fully loaded, the existing code
always selects the last CPU as a migration target - this is unfair
and little better than doing no selection.

The hmp_get_{lightest,heaviest}_task() need to use
__pick_first_entity() to get a pointer to a sched_entity on the rq.
The current is not kept on the rq while running, so its rb-tree node
pointers are no longer valid.

When we are looking for a task to migrate up, select the heaviest
one in the first 5 runnable on the runqueue.
Likewise, when looking for a task to offload, select the lightest
one in the first 5 runnable on the runqueue.
Ensure task selected is runnable in the target domain.
This change is necessary in order to implement idle pull in a
sensible manner, but here is used in up-migration and offload to
select the correct target task.

It is sometimes desirable to run a kernel with HMP scheduling enabled
on a system which is not big.LITTLE, e.g. when building a multi-platform
kernel, or when testing a big.LITTLE system with one cluster disabled.
We should therefore allow for the situation where is no little domain.

continuously-running tasks
commit bf0bd948d1682e3996adc093b43021ed391983e6 upstream.
We typically update a task_group's shares within the dequeue/enqueue
path. However, continuously running tasks sharing a CPU are not
subject to these updates as they are only put/picked. Unfortunately,
when we reverted f269ae046 (in 17bc14b7), we lost the augmenting
periodic update that was supposed to account for this; resulting in a
potential loss of fairness.
To fix this, re-introduce the explicit update in
update_cfs_rq_blocked_load() [called via entity_tick()].
