Creating cgroup hierearchies of unreasonable size can affect
overall system performance. A user might want to limit the
size of cgroup hierarchy. This is especially important if a user
is delegating some cgroup sub-tree.
To address this issue, introduce an ability to control
the size of cgroup hierarchy.
The cgroup.max.descendants control file allows to set the maximum
allowed number of descendant cgroups.
The cgroup.max.depth file controls the maximum depth of the cgroup
tree. Both are single value r/w files, with "max" default value.
The control files exist on each hierarchy level (including root).
When a new cgroup is created, we check the total descendants
and depth limits on each level, and if none of them are exceeded,
a new cgroup is created.
Only alive cgroups are counted, removed (dying) cgroups are
ignored.

Keep track of the number of online and dying descent cgroups.
This data will be used later to add an ability to control cgroup
hierarchy (limit the depth and the number of descent cgroups)
and display hierarchy stats.

Chunyu Hu reported:
"per_cpu trace directories and files are created for all possible cpus,
but only the cpus which have ever been on-lined have their own per cpu
ring buffer (allocated by cpuhp threads). While trace_buffers_open, the
open handler for trace file 'trace_pipe_raw' is always trying to access
field of ring_buffer_per_cpu, and would panic with the NULL pointer.
Align the behavior of trace_pipe_raw with trace_pipe, that returns -NODEV
when openning it if that cpu does not have trace ring buffer.
Reproduce:
cat /sys/kernel/debug/tracing/per_cpu/cpu31/trace_pipe_raw
(cpu31 is never on-lined, this is a 16 cores x86_64 box)
Tested with:
1) boot with maxcpus=14, read trace_pipe_raw of cpu15.
Got -NODEV.
2) oneline cpu15, read trace_pipe_raw of cpu15.
Get the raw trace data.

This was introduced by the addition of the feature to reuse reader pages
instead of re-allocating them. The problem is that the allocation of a
reader page (which is per cpu) does not check if the cpu is online and set
up for the ring buffer.

The clear_boot_tracer function is used to reset the default_bootup_tracer
string to prevent it from being accessed after boot, as it originally points
to init data. But since clear_boot_tracer() is called via the
init_lateinit() call, it races with the initcall for registering the hwlat
tracer. If someone adds "ftrace=hwlat" to the kernel command line, depending
on how the linker sets up the text, the saved command line may be cleared,
and the hwlat tracer never is initialized.
Simply have the clear_boot_tracer() be called by initcall_lateinit_sync() as
that's for tasks to be called after lateinit.

'perf cqm' never worked due to the incompatibility between perf
infrastructure and cqm hardware support. The hardware uses RMIDs to
track the llc occupancy of tasks and these RMIDs are per package. This
makes monitoring a hierarchy like cgroup along with monitoring of tasks
separately difficult and several patches sent to lkml to fix them were
NACKed. Further more, the following issues in the current perf cqm make
it almost unusable:
1. No support to monitor the same group of tasks for which we do
allocation using resctrl.
2. It gives random and inaccurate data (mostly 0s) once we run out
of RMIDs due to issues in Recycling.
3. Recycling results in inaccuracy of data because we cannot
guarantee that the RMID was stolen from a task when it was not
pulling data into cache or even when it pulled the least data. Also
for monitoring llc_occupancy, if we stop using an RMID_x and then
start using an RMID_y after we reclaim an RMID from an other event,
we miss accounting all the occupancy that was tagged to RMID_x at a
later perf_count.
2. Recycling code makes the monitoring code complex including
scheduling because the event can lose RMID any time. Since MBM
counters count bandwidth for a period of time by taking snap shot of
total bytes at two different times, recycling complicates the way we
count MBM in a hierarchy. Also we need a spin lock while we do the
processing to account for MBM counter overflow. We also currently
use a spin lock in scheduling to prevent the RMID from being taken
away.
4. Lack of support when we run different kind of event like task,
system-wide and cgroup events together. Data mostly prints 0s. This
is also because we can have only one RMID tied to a cpu as defined
by the cqm hardware but a perf can at the same time tie multiple
events during one sched_in.
5. No support of monitoring a group of tasks. There is partial support
for cgroup but it does not work once there is a hierarchy of cgroups
or if we want to monitor a task in a cgroup and the cgroup itself.
6. No support for monitoring tasks for the lifetime without perf
overhead.
7. It reported the aggregate cache occupancy or memory bandwidth over
all sockets. But most cloud and VMM based use cases want to know the
individual per-socket usage.

With Android UI and benchmarks the latency of cpufreq response to
certain scheduling events can become very critical. Currently, callbacks
into cpufreq governors are only made from the scheduler if the target
CPU of the event is the same as the current CPU. This means there are
certain situations where a target CPU may not run the cpufreq governor
for some time.
One testcase to show this behavior is where a task starts running on
CPU0, then a new task is also spawned on CPU0 by a task on CPU1. If the
system is configured such that the new tasks should receive maximum
demand initially, this should result in CPU0 increasing frequency
immediately. But because of the above mentioned limitation though, this
does not occur.
This patch updates the scheduler core to call the cpufreq callbacks for
remote CPUs as well.
The schedutil, ondemand and conservative governors are updated to
process cpufreq utilization update hooks called for remote CPUs where
the remote CPU is managed by the cpufreq policy of the local CPU.
The intel_pstate driver is updated to always reject remote callbacks.
This is tested with couple of usecases (Android: hackbench, recentfling,
galleryfling, vellamo, Ubuntu: hackbench) on ARM hikey board (64 bit
octa-core, single policy). Only galleryfling showed minor improvements,
while others didn't had much deviation.
The reason being that this patch only targets a corner case, where
following are required to be true to improve performance and that
doesn't happen too often with these tests:
- Task is migrated to another CPU.
- The task has high demand, and should take the target CPU to higher
OPPs.
- And the target CPU doesn't call into the cpufreq governor until the
next tick.
Based on initial work from Steve Muckle.

Pull workqueue fixes from Tejun Heo:
"Two notable fixes.
- While adding NUMA affinity support to unbound workqueues, the
assumption that an unbound workqueue with max_active == 1 is

The plan was to use explicit alloc_ordered_workqueue() for those
cases. Unfortunately, I forgot to update the documentation properly
and we grew a handful of use cases which depend on that assumption.
While we want to convert them to alloc_ordered_workqueue(), we
don't really lose anything by enforcing ordered execution on
unbound max_active == 1 workqueues and it doesn't make sense to
risk subtle bugs. Restore the assumption.
- Workqueue assumes that CPU <-> NUMA node mapping remains static.
This is a general assumption - we don't have any synchronization
mechanism around CPU <-> node mapping. Unfortunately, powerpc may
change the mapping dynamically leading to crashes. Michael added a
workaround so that we at least don't crash while powerpc hotplug

This patch replaces an rwlock and raw notifier by an atomic notifier
protected by a spin_lock and RCU.
The main reason for this change is due to a 'scheduling while atomic'
bug with RT kernels on ARM/ARM64. On ARM/ARM64, the rwlock
cpu_pm_notifier_lock in cpu_pm_enter/exit() causes a potential
schedule after IRQ disable in the idle call chain:
cpu_startup_entry
cpu_idle_loop
local_irq_disable()
cpuidle_idle_call
call_cpuidle
cpuidle_enter
cpuidle_enter_state
->enter :arm_enter_idle_state
cpu_pm_enter/exit
CPU_PM_CPU_IDLE_ENTER
read_lock(&cpu_pm_notifier_lock); <-- sleep in idle
__rt_spin_lock();
schedule();

bpf_prog_size(prog->len) is not the correct length we want to dump

to copy prog->insnsi to user space, but bpf_prog_size(prog->len) also
includes the size of struct bpf_prog itself plus program instructions
and is usually used either in context of accounting or for bpf_prog_alloc()
et al, thus we copy out of bounds in bpf_prog_get_info_by_fd()
potentially. Use the correct bpf_prog_insn_size() instead.

Currently cfq/bfq/blk-throttle output cgroup info in trace in their own
way. Now we have standard blktrace API for this, so convert them to use
it.
Note, this changes the behavior a little bit. cgroup info isn't output
by default, we only do this with 'blk_cgroup' option enabled. cgroup
info isn't output as a string by default too, we only do this with
'blk_cgname' option enabled. Also cgroup info is output in different
position of the note string. I think these behavior changes aren't a big
issue (actually we make trace data shorter which is good), since the
blktrace note is solely for debugging.

Currently blktrace isn't cgroup aware. blktrace prints out task name of
current context, but the task of current context isn't always in the
cgroup where the BIO comes from. We can't use task name to find out IO
cgroup. For example, Writeback BIOs always comes from flusher thread but
the BIOs are for different blk cgroups. Request could be requeued and
dispatched from completely different tasks. MD/DM are another examples.
This patch tries to fix the gap. We print out cgroup fhandle info in
blktrace. Userspace can use open_by_handle_at() syscall to find the
cgroup by fhandle. Or userspace can use name_to_handle_at() syscall to
find fhandle for a cgroup and use a BPF program to filter out blktrace
for a specific cgroup.
We add a new 'blk_cgroup' trace option for blk tracer. It's default off.
Application which doesn't know the new option isn't affected. When it's
on, we output fhandle info right after blk_io_trace with an extra bit
set in event action. So from application point of view, blktrace with
the option will output new actions.
I didn't change blk trace event yet, since I'm not sure if changing the
trace event output is an ABI issue. If not, I'll do it later.

Per-cpu workqueues have been tripping CPU affinity sanity checks while
a CPU is being offlined. A per-cpu kworker ends up running on a CPU
which isn't its target CPU while the CPU is online but inactive.
While the scheduler allows kthreads to wake up on an online but
inactive CPU, it doesn't allow a running kthread to be migrated to
such a CPU, which leads to an odd situation where setting affinity on
a sleeping and running kthread leads to different results.
Each mem-reclaim workqueue has one rescuer which guarantees forward
progress and the rescuer needs to bind itself to the CPU which needs
help in making forward progress; however, due to the above issue,
while set_cpus_allowed_ptr() succeeds, the rescuer doesn't end up on
the correct CPU if the CPU is in the process of going offline,
tripping the sanity check and executing the work item on the wrong
CPU.
This patch updates __migrate_task() so that kthreads can be migrated
into an inactive but online CPU.

There is an underlying assumption/trade-off in many layers of the Linux
system that CPU <-> node mapping is static. This is despite the presence
of features like NUMA and 'hotplug' that support the dynamic addition/
removal of fundamental system resources like CPUs and memory. PowerPC
systems, however, do provide extensive features for the dynamic change
of resources available to a system.
Currently, there is little or no synchronization protection around the
updating of the CPU <-> node mapping, and the export/update of this
information for other layers / modules. In systems which can change
this mapping during 'hotplug', like PowerPC, the information is changing
underneath all layers that might reference it.
This patch attempts to ensure that a valid, usable cpumask attribute
is used by the workqueue infrastructure when setting up new resource
pools. It prevents a crash that has been observed when an 'empty'
cpumask is passed along to the worker/task scheduling code. It is
intended as a temporary workaround until a more fundamental review and
correction of the issue can be done.

Tree RCU guarantees that every online CPU has a memory barrier between
any given grace period and any of that CPU's RCU read-side sections that
must be ordered against that grace period. Since RCU doesn't always
know where read-side critical sections are, the actual implementation
guarantees order against prior and subsequent non-idle non-offline code,
whether in an RCU read-side critical section or not. As a result, there
does not need to be a memory barrier at the end of synchronize_rcu()
and friends because the ordering internal to the grace period has
ordered every CPU's post-grace-period execution against each CPU's
pre-grace-period execution, again for all non-idle online CPUs.
In contrast, SRCU can have non-idle online CPUs that are completely
uninvolved in a given SRCU grace period, for example, a CPU that
never runs any SRCU read-side critical sections and took no part in
the grace-period processing. It is in theory possible for a given
synchronize_srcu()'s wakeup to be delivered to a CPU that was completely
uninvolved in the prior SRCU grace period, which could mean that the
code following that synchronize_srcu() would end up being unordered with
respect to both the grace period and any pre-existing SRCU read-side
critical sections.
This commit therefore adds an smp_mb() to the end of __synchronize_srcu(),
which prevents this scenario from occurring.

That commit was part of the changes moving x86 to the generic CPU hotplug
interrupt migration code. The force flag was required on x86 before the
hierarchical irqdomain rework, but invoking set_affinity() with force=true
stayed and had no side effects.
At some point in the past, the force flag got repurposed to support the
exynos timer interrupt affinity setting to a not yet online CPU, so the
interrupt controller callback does not verify the supplied affinity mask
against cpu_online_mask.
Setting the flag in the CPU hotplug code causes the cpu online masking to
be blocked on these irq controllers and results in potentially affining an
interrupt to the CPU which is unplugged, i.e. instead of moving it away,
it's just reassigned to it.
As the force flags is not longer needed on x86, it's safe to revert that
patch so the ARM irqchips which use the force flag work again.
Add comments to that effect, so this won't happen again.
Note: The online mask handling should be done in the generic code and the
force flag and the masking in the irq chips removed all together, but
that's not a change possible for 4.13.

printk_late_init() is responsible for disabling boot consoles that
use init memory. It checks the address of struct console for this.
But this is not enough. For example, there are several early
consoles that have write() method in the init section and
struct console in the normal section. They are not disabled
and could cause fancy and hard to debug system states.
It is even more complicated by the macros EARLYCON_DECLARE() and
OF_EARLYCON_DECLARE() where various struct members are set at
runtime by the provided setup() function.
I have tried to reproduce this problem and forced the classic uart
early console to stay using keep_bootcon parameter. In particular
I used earlycon=uart,io,0x3f8 keep_bootcon console=ttyS0,115200.
The system did not boot:
[ 1.570496] PM: Image not found (code -22)
[ 1.570496] PM: Image not found (code -22)
[ 1.571886] PM: Hibernation image not present or could not be loaded.
[ 1.571886] PM: Hibernation image not present or could not be loaded.
[ 1.576407] Freeing unused kernel memory: 2528K
[ 1.577244] kernel tried to execute NX-protected page - exploit attempt? (uid: 0)
The double lines are caused by having both early uart console and
ttyS0 console enabled at the same time. The early console stopped
working when the init memory was freed. Fortunately, the invalid
call was caught by the NX-protexted page check and did not cause
any silent fancy problems.
This patch adds a check for many other addresses stored in
struct console. It omits setup() and match() that are used
only when the console is registered. Therefore they have
already been used at this point and there is no reason
to use them again.

is freed
Commit 4c30c6f566c0 ("kernel/printk: do not turn off bootconsole in
printk_late_init() if keep_bootcon") added a check on keep_bootcon to
ensure that boot consoles were kept around until the real console is
registered.
This can lead to problems if the boot console data and code are in the
init section, since it can be freed before the boot console is
unregistered.
Commit 81cc26f2bd11 ("printk: only unregister boot consoles when
necessary") fixed this a better way. It allowed to keep boot consoles
that did not use init data. Unfortunately it did not remove the check
of keep_bootcon.
This can lead to crashes and weird panics when the bootconsole is
accessed after free, especially if page poisoning is in use and the
code / data have been overwritten with a poison value.
To prevent this, always free the boot console if it is within the init
section. In addition, print a warning about that the console is removed
prematurely.
Finally there is a new comment how to avoid the warning. It replaced
an explanation that duplicated a more comprehensive function
description few lines above.

Currently the iowait_boost feature in schedutil makes the frequency
go to max on iowait wakeups. This feature was added to handle a case
that Peter described where the throughput of operations involving
continuous I/O requests [1] is reduced due to running at a lower
frequency, however the lower throughput itself causes utilization to
be low and hence causing frequency to be low hence its "stuck".
Instead of going to max, its also possible to achieve the same effect
by ramping up to max if there are repeated in_iowait wakeups
happening. This patch is an attempt to do that. We start from a lower
frequency (policy->min) and double the boost for every consecutive
iowait update until we reach the maximum iowait boost frequency
(iowait_boost_max).
I ran a synthetic test (continuous O_DIRECT writes in a loop) on an
x86 machine with intel_pstate in passive mode using schedutil. In
this test the iowait_boost value ramped from 800MHz to 4GHz in 60ms.
The patch achieves the desired improved throughput as the existing
behavior.

After adopting callbacks from a newly offlined CPU, the adopting CPU
checks to make sure that its callback list's count is zero only if the
list has no callbacks and vice versa. Unfortunately, it does so after
enabling interrupts, which means that false positives are possible due to
interrupt handlers invoking call_rcu(). Although these false positives
are improbable, rcutorture did make it happen once.
This commit therefore moves this check to an irq-disabled region of code,
thus suppressing the false positive.

Given that the rcu_state structure's >orphan_pend and ->orphan_done
fields are used only during migration of callbacks from the recently
offlined CPU to a surviving CPU, if rcu_send_cbs_to_orphanage() and
rcu_adopt_orphan_cbs() are combined, these fields can become local
variables in the combined function. This commit therefore combines
rcu_send_cbs_to_orphanage() and rcu_adopt_orphan_cbs() into a new
rcu_segcblist_merge() function and removes the ->orphan_pend and
->orphan_done fields.

It is possible that the outgoing CPU is unaware of recent grace periods,
and so it is also possible that some of its pending callbacks are actually
ready to be invoked. The current callback-migration code would needlessly
force these callbacks to pass through another grace period. This commit
therefore invokes rcu_advance_cbs() on the outgoing CPU's callbacks in
order to give them full credit for having passed through any recent
grace periods.
This also fixes an odd theoretical bug where there are no callbacks in
the system except for those on the outgoing CPU, none of those callbacks
have yet been associated with a grace-period number, there is never again
another callback registered, and the surviving CPU never again takes a
scheduling-clock interrupt, never goes idle, and never enters nohz_full
userspace execution. Yes, this is (just barely) possible. It requires
that the surviving CPU be a nohz_full CPU, that its scheduler-clock
interrupt be shut off, and that it loop forever in the kernel. You get
bonus points if you can make this one happen! ;-)

RCU's CPU-hotplug callback-migration code first moves the outgoing
CPU's callbacks to ->orphan_done and ->orphan_pend, and only then
moves them to the NOCB callback list. This commit avoids the
extra step (and simplifies the code) by moving the callbacks directly
from the outgoing CPU's callback list to the NOCB callback list.

The current CPU-hotplug RCU-callback-migration code checks
for the source (newly offlined) CPU being a NOCBs CPU down in
rcu_send_cbs_to_orphanage(). This commit simplifies callback migration a
bit by moving this check up to rcu_migrate_callbacks(). This commit also
adds a check for the source CPU having no callbacks, which eases analysis
of the rcu_send_cbs_to_orphanage() and rcu_adopt_orphan_cbs() functions.

The torture status line contains a series of values preceded by "onoff:".
The last value in that line, the one preceding the "HZ=" string, is
always zero. The reason that it is always zero is that torture_offline()
was incrementing the sum_offl pointer instead of the value that this
pointer referenced. This commit therefore makes this increment operate

The update of the ->expmaskinitnext and of ->ncpus are unsynchronized,
with the value of ->ncpus being incremented long before the corresponding
->expmaskinitnext mask is updated. If an RCU expedited grace period
sees ->ncpus change, it will update the ->expmaskinit masks from the new
->expmaskinitnext masks. But it is possible that ->ncpus has already
been updated, but the ->expmaskinitnext masks still have their old values.
For the current expedited grace period, no harm done. The CPU could not
have been online before the grace period started, so there is no need to
wait for its non-existent pre-existing readers.
But the next RCU expedited grace period is in a world of hurt. The value
of ->ncpus has already been updated, so this grace period will assume
that the ->expmaskinitnext masks have not changed. But they have, and
they won't be taken into account until the next never-been-online CPU
comes online. This means that RCU will be ignoring some CPUs that it
should be paying attention to.
The solution is to update ->ncpus and ->expmaskinitnext while holding
the ->lock for the rcu_node structure containing the ->expmaskinitnext
mask. Because smp_store_release() is now used to update ->ncpus and
smp_load_acquire() is now used to locklessly read it, if the expedited
grace period sees ->ncpus change, then the updating CPU has to
already be holding the corresponding ->lock. Therefore, when the
expedited grace period later acquires that ->lock, it is guaranteed
to see the new value of ->expmaskinitnext.
On the other hand, if the expedited grace period loads ->ncpus just
before an update, earlier full memory barriers guarantee that
the incoming CPU isn't far enough along to be running any RCU readers.
This commit therefore makes the required change.

RCU callbacks must be migrated away from an outgoing CPU, and this is
done near the end of the CPU-hotplug operation, after the outgoing CPU is
long gone. Unfortunately, this means that other CPU-hotplug callbacks
can execute while the outgoing CPU's callbacks are still immobilized
on the long-gone CPU's callback lists. If any of these CPU-hotplug
callbacks must wait, either directly or indirectly, for the invocation
of any of the immobilized RCU callbacks, the system will hang.
This commit avoids such hangs by migrating the callbacks away from the
outgoing CPU immediately upon its departure, shortly after the return
from __cpu_die() in takedown_cpu(). Thus, RCU is able to advance these
callbacks and invoke them, which allows all the after-the-fact CPU-hotplug
callbacks to wait on these RCU callbacks without risk of a hang.
While in the neighborhood, this commit also moves rcu_send_cbs_to_orphanage()
and rcu_adopt_orphan_cbs() under a pre-existing #ifdef to avoid including
dead code on the one hand and to avoid define-without-use warnings on the
other hand.

cgroup_enable_threaded() checks that the cgroup doesn't have any tasks
or children and fails the operation if so. This test is unnecessary
because the first part is already checked by
cgroup_can_be_thread_root() and the latter is unnecessary. The latter
actually cause a behavioral oddity. Please consider the following
hierarchy. All cgroups are domains.
A
/ \
B C
\
D
If B is made threaded, C and D becomes invalid domains. Due to the no
children restriction, threaded mode can't be enabled on C. For C and
D, the only thing the user can do is removal.
There is no reason for this restriction. Remove it.

There is no agreed-upon definition of spin_unlock_wait()'s semantics,
and it appears that all callers could do just as well with a lock/unlock
pair. This commit therefore replaces the spin_unlock_wait() call in
task_work_run() with a spin_lock_irq() and a spin_unlock_irq() aruond
the cmpxchg() dequeue loop. This should be safe from a performance
perspective because ->pi_lock is local to the task and because calls to
the other side of the race, task_work_cancel(), should be rare.

The handling of RCU's no-CBs CPUs has a maintenance headache, namely
that if call_rcu() is invoked with interrupts disabled, the rcuo kthread
wakeup must be defered to a point where we can be sure that scheduler
locks are not held. Of course, there are a lot of code paths leading
from an interrupts-disabled invocation of call_rcu(), and missing any
one of these can result in excessive callback-invocation latency, and
potentially even system hangs.
This commit therefore uses a timer to guarantee that the wakeup will
eventually occur. If one of the deferred-wakeup points kicks in, then
the timer is simply cancelled.
This commit also fixes up an incomplete removal of commits that were
intended to plug remaining exit paths, which should have the added
benefit of reducing the overhead of RCU's context-switch hooks. In
addition, it simplifies leader-to-follower callback-list handoff by
introducing locking. The call_rcu()-to-leader handoff continues to
use atomic operations in order to maintain good real-time latency for
common-case use of call_rcu().

ddebug_remove_module() use mod->name to find the ddebug_table of the

_ddebug->modname to create ddebug_table for the module. It's ok when
the _ddebug->modname is the same with the mod->name.
But livepatch module is special, it may contain _ddebugs of other
modules, the modname of which is different from the name of livepatch
module. So ddebug_remove_module() can't use mod->name to find the
right ddebug_table and remove it. It can cause kernel crash when we cat
