commit c80d401c52a2d1baf2a5afeb06f0ffe678e56d23 upstream.

subparts_cpus should be limited as a subset of cpus_allowed, but it is
updated wrongly by using cpumask_andnot(). Use cpumask_and() instead to
fix it.

commit 24f6008564183aa120d07c03d9289519c2fe02af upstream.

The cgroup release_agent is called with call_usermodehelper.  The function
call_usermodehelper starts the release_agent with a full set fo capabilities.
Therefore require capabilities when setting the release_agaent.

commit a06247c6804f1a7c86a2e5398a4c1f1db1471848 upstream.

With write operation on psi files replacing old trigger with a new one,
the lifetime of its waitqueue is totally arbitrary. Overwriting an
existing trigger causes its waitqueue to be freed and pending poll()
will stumble on trigger-&gt;event_wait which was destroyed.
Fix this by disallowing to redefine an existing psi trigger. If a write
operation is used on a file descriptor with an already existing psi
trigger, the operation will fail with EBUSY error.
Also bypass a check for psi_disabled in the psi_trigger_destroy as the
flag can be flipped after the trigger is created, leading to a memory
leak.

<title>sched/pelt: Relax the sync of util_sum with util_avg</title>

[ Upstream commit 98b0d890220d45418cfbc5157b3382e6da5a12ab ]

Rick reported performance regressions in bugzilla because of cpu frequency
being lower than before:
    https://bugzilla.kernel.org/show_bug.cgi?id=215045

He bisected the problem to:
commit 1c35b07e6d39 ("sched/fair: Ensure _sum and _avg values stay consistent")

This commit forces util_sum to be synced with the new util_avg after
removing the contribution of a task and before the next periodic sync. By
doing so util_sum is rounded to its lower bound and might lost up to
LOAD_AVG_MAX-1 of accumulated contribution which has not yet been
reflected in util_avg.

Instead of always setting util_sum to the low bound of util_avg, which can
significantly lower the utilization of root cfs_rq after propagating the
change down into the hierarchy, we revert the change of util_sum and
propagate the difference.

In addition, we also check that cfs's util_sum always stays above the
lower bound for a given util_avg as it has been observed that
sched_entity's util_sum is sometimes above cfs one.

<title>perf: Fix perf_event_read_local() time</title>

<id>urn:sha1:91b04e83c71057927380d7597efe1e93e0bf3462</id>
<content type='text'>
[ Upstream commit 09f5e7dc7ad705289e1b1ec065439aa3c42951c4 ]

Time readers that cannot take locks (due to NMI etc..) currently make
use of perf_event::shadow_ctx_time, which, for that event gives:

  time' = now + (time - timestamp)

or, alternatively arranged:

  time' = time + (now - timestamp)

IOW, the progression of time since the last time the shadow_ctx_time
was updated.

There's problems with this:

 A) the shadow_ctx_time is per-event, even though the ctx_time it
    reflects is obviously per context. The direct concequence of this
    is that the context needs to iterate all events all the time to
    keep the shadow_ctx_time in sync.

 B) even with the prior point, the context itself might not be active
    meaning its time should not advance to begin with.

 C) shadow_ctx_time isn't consistently updated when ctx_time is

There are 3 users of this stuff, that suffer differently from this:

 - calc_timer_values()
   - perf_output_read()
   - perf_event_update_userpage()	/* A */

 - perf_event_read_local()		/* A,B */

In particular, perf_output_read() doesn't suffer at all, because it's
sample driven and hence only relevant when the event is actually
running.

This same was supposed to be true for perf_event_update_userpage(),
after all self-monitoring implies the context is active *HOWEVER*, as
per commit f79256532682 ("perf/core: fix userpage-&gt;time_enabled of
inactive events") this goes wrong when combined with counter
overcommit, in that case those events that do not get scheduled when
the context becomes active (task events typically) miss out on the
EVENT_TIME update and ENABLED time is inflated (for a little while)
with the time the context was inactive. Once the event gets rotated
in, this gets corrected, leading to a non-monotonic timeflow.

perf_event_read_local() made things even worse, it can request time at
any point, suffering all the problems perf_event_update_userpage()
does and more. Because while perf_event_update_userpage() is limited
by the context being active, perf_event_read_local() users have no
such constraint.

Therefore, completely overhaul things and do away with
perf_event::shadow_ctx_time. Instead have regular context time updates
keep track of this offset directly and provide perf_event_time_now()
to complement perf_event_time().

perf_event_time_now() will, in adition to being context wide, also
take into account if the context is active. For inactive context, it
will not advance time.

This latter property means the cgroup perf_cgroup_info context needs
to grow addition state to track this.

Additionally, since all this is strictly per-cpu, we can use barrier()
to order context activity vs context time.

<title>sched/membarrier: Fix membarrier-rseq fence command missing from query bitmask</title>

<content type='text'>
commit 809232619f5b15e31fb3563985e705454f32621f upstream.

The membarrier command MEMBARRIER_CMD_QUERY allows querying the
available membarrier commands. When the membarrier-rseq fence commands
were added, a new MEMBARRIER_CMD_PRIVATE_EXPEDITED_RSEQ_BITMASK was
introduced with the intent to expose them with the MEMBARRIER_CMD_QUERY
command, the but it was never added to MEMBARRIER_CMD_BITMASK.

The membarrier-rseq fence commands are therefore not wired up with the
query command.

Rename MEMBARRIER_CMD_PRIVATE_EXPEDITED_RSEQ_BITMASK to
MEMBARRIER_PRIVATE_EXPEDITED_RSEQ_BITMASK (the bitmask is not a command
per-se), and change the erroneous
MEMBARRIER_CMD_REGISTER_PRIVATE_EXPEDITED_RSEQ_BITMASK (which does not
actually exist) to MEMBARRIER_CMD_REGISTER_PRIVATE_EXPEDITED_RSEQ.

Wire up MEMBARRIER_PRIVATE_EXPEDITED_RSEQ_BITMASK in
MEMBARRIER_CMD_BITMASK. Fixing this allows discovering availability of
the membarrier-rseq fence feature.

commit 67ab5eb71b37b55f7c5522d080a1b42823351776 upstream.

tr-&gt;n_err_log_entries should only be increased if entry allocation
succeeds.

Doing it when it fails won't cause any problems other than wasting an
entry, but should be fixed anyway.

kfree() is missing on an error path to free the memory allocated by
kstrdup():

  p = param = kstrdup(data-&gt;params[i], GFP_KERNEL);

So it is better to free it via kfree(p).

The buffer handling in pm_show_wakelocks() is tricky, and hopefully
correct.  Ensure it really is correct by using sysfs_emit_at() which
handles all of the tricky string handling logic in a PAGE_SIZE buffer
for us automatically as this is a sysfs file being read from.
