[ Upstream commit f0498d2a54e7966ce23cd7c7ff42c64fa0059b07 ]

Kuyo reported sporadic failures on a sched_setaffinity() vs CPU
hotplug stress-test -- notably affine_move_task() remains stuck in
wait_for_completion(), leading to a hung-task detector warning.

Specifically, it was reported that stop_one_cpu_nowait(.fn =
migration_cpu_stop) returns false -- this stopper is responsible for
the matching complete().

The race scenario is:

	CPU0					CPU1

					// doing _cpu_down()

  __set_cpus_allowed_ptr()
    task_rq_lock();
					takedown_cpu()
					  stop_machine_cpuslocked(take_cpu_down..)

					&lt;PREEMPT: cpu_stopper_thread()
					  MULTI_STOP_PREPARE
					  ...
    __set_cpus_allowed_ptr_locked()
      affine_move_task()
        task_rq_unlock();

  &lt;PREEMPT: cpu_stopper_thread()\&gt;
    ack_state()
					  MULTI_STOP_RUN
					    take_cpu_down()
					      __cpu_disable();
					      stop_machine_park();
						stopper-&gt;enabled = false;
					 /&gt;
   /&gt;
	stop_one_cpu_nowait(.fn = migration_cpu_stop);
          if (stopper-&gt;enabled) // false!!!

That is, by doing stop_one_cpu_nowait() after dropping rq-lock, the
stopper thread gets a chance to preempt and allows the cpu-down for
the target CPU to complete.

OTOH, since stop_one_cpu_nowait() / cpu_stop_queue_work() needs to
issue a wakeup, it must not be ran under the scheduler locks.

Solve this apparent contradiction by keeping preemption disabled over
the unlock + queue_stopper combination:

	preempt_disable();
	task_rq_unlock(...);
	if (!stop_pending)
	  stop_one_cpu_nowait(...)
	preempt_enable();

This respects the lock ordering contraints while still avoiding the
above race. That is, if we find the CPU is online under rq-lock, the
targeted stop_one_cpu_nowait() must succeed.

Apply this pattern to all similar stop_one_cpu_nowait() invocations.

[ Upstream commit 23c9519def98ee0fa97ea5871535e9b136f522fc ]

find_energy_efficient_cpu() bails out early if effective util of the
task is 0 as the delta at this point will be zero and there's nothing
for EAS to do. When uclamp is being used, this could lead to wrong
decisions when uclamp_max is set to 0. In this case the task is capped
to performance point 0, but it is actually running and consuming energy
and we can benefit from EAS energy calculations.

Rework the condition so that it bails out when both util and uclamp_min
are 0.

We can do that without needing to use uclamp_task_util(); remove it.

[ Upstream commit 6b00a40147653c8ea748e8f4396510f252763364 ]

When uclamp_max is being used, the util of the task could be higher than
the spare capacity of the CPU, but due to uclamp_max value we force-fit
it there.

The way the condition for checking for max_spare_cap in
find_energy_efficient_cpu() was constructed; it ignored any CPU that has
its spare_cap less than or _equal_ to max_spare_cap. Since we initialize
max_spare_cap to 0; this lead to never setting max_spare_cap_cpu and
hence ending up never performing compute_energy() for this cluster and
missing an opportunity for a better energy efficient placement to honour
uclamp_max setting.

	max_spare_cap = 0;
	cpu_cap = capacity_of(cpu) - cpu_util(p);  // 0 if cpu_util(p) is high

	...

	util_fits_cpu(...);		// will return true if uclamp_max forces it to fit

	...

	// this logic will fail to update max_spare_cap_cpu if cpu_cap is 0
	if (cpu_cap &gt; max_spare_cap) {
		max_spare_cap = cpu_cap;
		max_spare_cap_cpu = cpu;
	}

prev_spare_cap suffers from a similar problem.

Fix the logic by converting the variables into long and treating -1
value as 'not populated' instead of 0 which is a viable and correct
spare capacity value. We need to be careful signed comparison is used
when comparing with cpu_cap in one of the conditions.

We don't need to maintain per-queue leaf_cfs_rq_list on !SMP, since
it's used for cfs_rq load tracking &amp; balancing on SMP.

But sched debug interface uses it to print per-cfs_rq stats.

This patch fixes the !SMP version of cfs_rq_is_decayed(), so the
per-queue leaf_cfs_rq_list is also maintained correctly on !SMP,
to fix the warning in assert_list_leaf_cfs_rq().

<content type='text'>
[ Upstream commit 9e0bc36ab07c550d791bf17feeb479f1dfc42d89 ]

When cpufreq's policy is 'single', there is a scenario that will
cause sg_policy's next_freq to be unable to update.

When the CPU's util is always max, the cpufreq will be max,
and then if we change the policy's scaling_max_freq to be a
lower freq, indeed, the sg_policy's next_freq need change to
be the lower freq, however, because the cpu_is_busy, the next_freq
would keep the max_freq.

For example:

The cpu7 is a single CPU:

  unisoc:/sys/devices/system/cpu/cpufreq/policy7 # while true;do done&amp; [1] 4737
  unisoc:/sys/devices/system/cpu/cpufreq/policy7 # taskset -p 80 4737
  pid 4737's current affinity mask: ff
  pid 4737's new affinity mask: 80
  unisoc:/sys/devices/system/cpu/cpufreq/policy7 # cat scaling_max_freq
  2301000
  unisoc:/sys/devices/system/cpu/cpufreq/policy7 # cat scaling_cur_freq
  2301000
  unisoc:/sys/devices/system/cpu/cpufreq/policy7 # echo 2171000 &gt; scaling_max_freq
  unisoc:/sys/devices/system/cpu/cpufreq/policy7 # cat scaling_max_freq
  2171000

At this time, the sg_policy's next_freq would stay at 2301000, which
is wrong.

To fix this, add a check for the -&gt;need_freq_update flag.

<title>sched/rt: Fix live lock between select_fallback_rq() and RT push</title>

<id>urn:sha1:49903f70d728ee516bcaf620354553d0788103ab</id>
<content type='text'>
commit fc09027786c900368de98d03d40af058bcb01ad9 upstream.

During RCU-boost testing with the TREE03 rcutorture config, I found that
after a few hours, the machine locks up.

On tracing, I found that there is a live lock happening between 2 CPUs.
One CPU has an RT task running, while another CPU is being offlined
which also has an RT task running.  During this offlining, all threads
are migrated. The migration thread is repeatedly scheduled to migrate
actively running tasks on the CPU being offlined. This results in a live
lock because select_fallback_rq() keeps picking the CPU that an RT task
is already running on only to get pushed back to the CPU being offlined.

It is anyway pointless to pick CPUs for pushing tasks to if they are
being offlined only to get migrated away to somewhere else. This could
also add unwanted latency to this task.

Fix these issues by not selecting CPUs in RT if they are not 'active'
for scheduling, using the cpu_active_mask. Other parts in core.c already
use cpu_active_mask to prevent tasks from being put on CPUs going
offline.

With this fix I ran the tests for days and could not reproduce the
hang. Without the patch, I hit it in a few hours.

<title>kernel/sched: Modify initial boot task idle setup</title>

commit cff9b2332ab762b7e0586c793c431a8f2ea4db04 upstream.

Initial booting is setting the task flag to idle (PF_IDLE) by the call
path sched_init() -&gt; init_idle().  Having the task idle and calling
call_rcu() in kernel/rcu/tiny.c means that TIF_NEED_RESCHED will be
set.  Subsequent calls to any cond_resched() will enable IRQs,
potentially earlier than the IRQ setup has completed.  Recent changes
have caused just this scenario and IRQs have been enabled early.

This causes a warning later in start_kernel() as interrupts are enabled
before they are fully set up.

Fix this issue by setting the PF_IDLE flag later in the boot sequence.

Although the boot task was marked as idle since (at least) d80e4fda576d,
I am not sure that it is wrong to do so.  The forced context-switch on
idle task was introduced in the tiny_rcu update, so I'm going to claim
this fixes 5f6130fa52ee.

<content type='text'>
[ Upstream commit c7fcb99877f9f542c918509b2801065adcaf46fa ]

There is a 10% rounding error in the intial value of the
sysctl_sched_rr_timeslice with CONFIG_HZ_300=y.

This was found with LTP test sched_rr_get_interval01:

sched_rr_get_interval01.c:57: TPASS: sched_rr_get_interval() passed
sched_rr_get_interval01.c:64: TPASS: Time quantum 0s 99999990ns
sched_rr_get_interval01.c:72: TFAIL: /proc/sys/kernel/sched_rr_timeslice_ms != 100 got 90
sched_rr_get_interval01.c:57: TPASS: sched_rr_get_interval() passed
sched_rr_get_interval01.c:64: TPASS: Time quantum 0s 99999990ns
sched_rr_get_interval01.c:72: TFAIL: /proc/sys/kernel/sched_rr_timeslice_ms != 100 got 90

What this test does is to compare the return value from the
sched_rr_get_interval() and the sched_rr_timeslice_ms sysctl file and
fails if they do not match.

The problem it found is the intial sysctl file value which was computed as:

static int sysctl_sched_rr_timeslice = (MSEC_PER_SEC / HZ) * RR_TIMESLICE;

which works fine as long as MSEC_PER_SEC is multiple of HZ, however it
introduces 10% rounding error for CONFIG_HZ_300:

(MSEC_PER_SEC / HZ) * (100 * HZ / 1000)

(1000 / 300) * (100 * 300 / 1000)

3 * 30 = 90

This can be easily fixed by reversing the order of the multiplication
and division. After this fix we get:

(MSEC_PER_SEC * (100 * HZ / 1000)) / HZ

(1000 * (100 * 300 / 1000)) / 300

(1000 * 30) / 300 = 100

commit 2ef269ef1ac006acf974793d975539244d77b28f upstream.

cpuset_can_attach() can fail. Postpone DL BW allocation until all tasks
have been checked. DL BW is not allocated per-task but as a sum over
all DL tasks migrating.

If multiple controllers are attached to the cgroup next to the cpuset
controller a non-cpuset can_attach() can fail. In this case free DL BW
in cpuset_cancel_attach().

Finally, update cpuset DL task count (nr_deadline_tasks) only in
cpuset_attach().

While moving a set of tasks between exclusive cpusets,
cpuset_can_attach() -&gt; task_can_attach() calls dl_cpu_busy(..., p) for
DL BW overflow checking and per-task DL BW allocation on the destination
root_domain for the DL tasks in this set.

This approach has the issue of not freeing already allocated DL BW in
the following error cases:

(1) The set of tasks includes multiple DL tasks and DL BW overflow
    checking fails for one of the subsequent DL tasks.

(2) Another controller next to the cpuset controller which is attached
    to the same cgroup fails in its can_attach().

To address this problem rework dl_cpu_busy():

(1) Split it into dl_bw_check_overflow() &amp; dl_bw_alloc() and add a
    dedicated dl_bw_free().

(2) dl_bw_alloc() &amp; dl_bw_free() take a `u64 dl_bw` parameter instead of
    a `struct task_struct *p` used in dl_cpu_busy(). This allows to
    allocate DL BW for a set of tasks too rather than only for a single
    task.
