To prepare for supporting multiple schedulers, make scx_sched allocated

SCX_HAS_OP() tests scx_root->has_op bitmap. The bitmap is currently in a
statically allocated struct scx_sched and initialized while loading the BPF
scheduler and cleared while unloading, and thus can be tested anytime.
However, scx_root will be switched to dynamic allocation and thus won't
always be deferenceable.
Most usages of SCX_HAS_OP() are already protected by scx_enabled() either
directly or indirectly (e.g. through a task which is on SCX). However, there
are a couple places that could try to dereference NULL scx_root. Update them
so that scx_root is guaranteed to be valid before SCX_HAS_OP() is called.
- In handle_hotplug(), test whether scx_root is NULL before doing anything
else. This is safe because scx_root updates will be protected by
cpus_read_lock().
- In scx_tg_offline(), test scx_cgroup_enabled before invoking SCX_HAS_OP(),
which should guarnatee that scx_root won't turn NULL. This is also in line
with other cgroup operations. As the code path is synchronized against
scx_cgroup_init/exit() through scx_cgroup_rwsem, this shouldn't cause any

sched/eevdf: Fix se->slice being set to U64_MAX and resulting crash
There is a code path in dequeue_entities() that can set the slice of a
sched_entity to U64_MAX, which sometimes results in a crash.
The offending case is when dequeue_entities() is called to dequeue a
delayed group entity, and then the entity's parent's dequeue is delayed.
In that case:
1. In the if (entity_is_task(se)) else block at the beginning of
dequeue_entities(), slice is set to
cfs_rq_min_slice(group_cfs_rq(se)). If the entity was delayed, then
it has no queued tasks, so cfs_rq_min_slice() returns U64_MAX.
2. The first for_each_sched_entity() loop dequeues the entity.
3. If the entity was its parent's only child, then the next iteration
tries to dequeue the parent.
4. If the parent's dequeue needs to be delayed, then it breaks from the
first for_each_sched_entity() loop _without updating slice_.
5. The second for_each_sched_entity() loop sets the parent's ->slice to
the saved slice, which is still U64_MAX.
This throws off subsequent calculations with potentially catastrophic
results. A manifestation we saw in production was:
6. In update_entity_lag(), se->slice is used to calculate limit, which
ends up as a huge negative number.
7. limit is used in se->vlag = clamp(vlag, -limit, limit). Because limit
is negative, vlag > limit, so se->vlag is set to the same huge
negative number.
8. In place_entity(), se->vlag is scaled, which overflows and results in
another huge (positive or negative) number.
9. The adjusted lag is subtracted from se->vruntime, which increases or
decreases se->vruntime by a huge number.
10. pick_eevdf() calls entity_eligible()/vruntime_eligible(), which
incorrectly returns false because the vruntime is so far from the
other vruntimes on the queue, causing the
(vruntime - cfs_rq->min_vruntime) * load calulation to overflow.
11. Nothing appears to be eligible, so pick_eevdf() returns NULL.
12. pick_next_entity() tries to dereference the return value of
pick_eevdf() and crashes.
Dumping the cfs_rq states from the core dumps with drgn showed tell-tale
huge vruntime ranges and bogus vlag values, and I also traced se->slice
being set to U64_MAX on live systems (which was usually "benign" since
the rest of the runqueue needed to be in a particular state to crash).
Fix it in dequeue_entities() by always setting slice from the first
non-empty cfs_rq.

This behavior can lead to confusion or incorrect assumptions if not

Therefore, update the documentation to clarify this aspect and advise

Some kfuncs provided by sched_ext may need to operate on a struct rq,
but they can be invoked from various contexts, specifically, different
scx callbacks.
While some of these callbacks are invoked with a particular rq already
locked, others are not. This makes it impossible for a kfunc to reliably
determine whether it's safe to access a given rq, triggering potential
bugs or unsafe behaviors, see for example [1].
To address this, track the currently locked rq whenever a sched_ext
callback is invoked via SCX_CALL_OP*().
This allows kfuncs that need to operate on an arbitrary rq to retrieve
the currently locked one and apply the appropriate action as needed.

The handling of the limits_changed flag in struct sugov_policy needs to
be explicitly synchronized to ensure that cpufreq policy limits updates
will not be missed in some cases.
Without that synchronization it is theoretically possible that
the limits_changed update in sugov_should_update_freq() will be
reordered with respect to the reads of the policy limits in
cpufreq_driver_resolve_freq() and in that case, if the limits_changed
update in sugov_limits() clobbers the one in sugov_should_update_freq(),
the new policy limits may not take effect for a long time.
Likewise, the limits_changed update in sugov_limits() may theoretically
get reordered with respect to the updates of the policy limits in
cpufreq_set_policy() and if sugov_should_update_freq() runs between
them, the policy limits change may be missed.
To ensure that the above situations will not take place, add memory
barriers preventing the reordering in question from taking place and
add READ_ONCE() and WRITE_ONCE() annotations around all of the
limits_changed flag updates to prevent the compiler from messing up
with that code.

change because the driver callback may need to be invoked for the new

However, if the return value of cpufreq_driver_resolve_freq() after
applying the new limits is still equal to the previously selected
frequency, the driver callback needs to be invoked only in the case
when CPUFREQ_NEED_UPDATE_LIMITS is set (which means that the driver
specifically wants its callback to be invoked every time the policy
limits change).
Update the code accordingly to avoid missing policy limits changes for
drivers without CPUFREQ_NEED_UPDATE_LIMITS.

Additionally, move update_load_add() after placement() as is

A subset of AMD Processors supporting Preferred Core Rankings also
feature the ability to dynamically switch these rankings at runtime to
bias load balancing towards or away from the LLC domain with larger
cache.
To support dynamically updating "sg->asym_prefer_cpu" without needing to
rebuild the sched domain, introduce sched_update_asym_prefer_cpu() which
recomutes the "asym_prefer_cpu" when the core-ranking of a CPU changes.
sched_update_asym_prefer_cpu() swaps the "sg->asym_prefer_cpu" with the
CPU whose ranking has changed if the new ranking is greater than that of
the "asym_prefer_cpu". If CPU whose ranking has changed is the current
"asym_prefer_cpu", it scans the CPUs of the sched groups to find the new
"asym_prefer_cpu" and sets it accordingly.
get_group() for non-overlapping sched domains returns the sched group
for the first CPU in the sched_group_span() which ensures all CPUs in
the group see the updated value of "asym_prefer_cpu".
Overlapping groups are allocated differently and will require moving the
"asym_prefer_cpu" to "sg->sgc" but since the current implementations do

The exising code uses housekeeping_any_cpu() to select a cpu for
a given housekeeping task. However, this often ends up calling
cpumask_any_and() which is defined as cpumask_first_and() which has
the effect of alyways using the first cpu among those available.
The same applies when multiple NUMA nodes are involved. In that
case the first cpu in the local node is chosen which does provide
a bit of spreading but with multiple HK cpus per node the same
issues arise.
We have numerous cases where a single HK cpu just cannot keep up
and the remote_tick warning fires. It also can lead to the other
things (orchastration sw, HA keepalives etc) on the HK cpus getting
starved which leads to other issues. In these cases we recommend
increasing the number of HK cpus. But... that only helps the
userspace tasks somewhat. It does not help the actual housekeeping
part.
Spread the HK work out by having housekeeping_any_cpu() and
sched_numa_find_closest() use cpumask_any_and_distribute()
instead of cpumask_any_and().

Overview
========
When a CPU chooses to call push_rt_task and picks a task to push to
another CPU's runqueue then it will call find_lock_lowest_rq method
which would take a double lock on both CPUs' runqueues. If one of the
locks aren't readily available, it may lead to dropping the current
runqueue lock and reacquiring both the locks at once. During this window
it is possible that the task is already migrated and is running on some
other CPU. These cases are already handled. However, if the task is
migrated and has already been executed and another CPU is now trying to
wake it up (ttwu) such that it is queued again on the runqeue
(on_rq is 1) and also if the task was run by the same CPU, then the
current checks will pass even though the task was migrated out and is no
longer in the pushable tasks list.
Crashes

This bug resulted in quite a few flavors of crashes triggering kernel
panics with various crash signatures such as assert failures, page

Details
=======
Let's look at the following scenario to understand this race.
1) CPU A enters push_rt_task
a) CPU A has chosen next_task = task p.
b) CPU A calls find_lock_lowest_rq(Task p, CPU Z’s rq).
c) CPU A identifies CPU X as a destination CPU (X < Z).
d) CPU A enters double_lock_balance(CPU Z’s rq, CPU X’s rq).
e) Since X is lower than Z, CPU A unlocks CPU Z’s rq. Someone else has
locked CPU X’s rq, and thus, CPU A must wait.
2) At CPU Z
a) Previous task has completed execution and thus, CPU Z enters
schedule, locks its own rq after CPU A releases it.
b) CPU Z dequeues previous task and begins executing task p.
c) CPU Z unlocks its rq.
d) Task p yields the CPU (ex. by doing IO or waiting to acquire a
lock) which triggers the schedule function on CPU Z.
e) CPU Z enters schedule again, locks its own rq, and dequeues task p.
f) As part of dequeue, it sets p.on_rq = 0 and unlocks its rq.
3) At CPU B
a) CPU B enters try_to_wake_up with input task p.
b) Since CPU Z dequeued task p, p.on_rq = 0, and CPU B updates
B.state = WAKING.
c) CPU B via select_task_rq determines CPU Y as the target CPU.
4) The race
a) CPU A acquires CPU X’s lock and relocks CPU Z.
b) CPU A reads task p.cpu = Z and incorrectly concludes task p is
still on CPU Z.
c) CPU A failed to notice task p had been dequeued from CPU Z while
CPU A was waiting for locks in double_lock_balance. If CPU A knew
that task p had been dequeued, it would return NULL forcing
push_rt_task to give up the task p's migration.
d) CPU B updates task p.cpu = Y and calls ttwu_queue.
e) CPU B locks Ys rq. CPU B enqueues task p onto Y and sets task
p.on_rq = 1.
f) CPU B unlocks CPU Y, triggering memory synchronization.
g) CPU A reads task p.on_rq = 1, cementing its assumption that task p
has not migrated.
h) CPU A decides to migrate p to CPU X.
This leads to A dequeuing p from Y's queue and various crashes down the
line.
Solution
========
The solution here is fairly simple. After obtaining the lock (at 4a),
the check is enhanced to make sure that the task is still at the head of
the pushable tasks list. If not, then it is anyway not suitable for
being pushed out.
Testing
=======
The fix is tested on a cluster of 3 nodes, where the panics due to this
are hit every couple of days. A fix similar to this was deployed on such
cluster and was stable for more than 30 days.

Thanks to kernel cmdline being available early, before any
cgroup hierarchy exists, we can achieve the RT_GROUP_SCHED boottime
disabling goal by simply skipping any creation (and destruction) of
RT_GROUP data and its exposure via RT attributes.
We can do this thanks to previously placed runtime guards that would
redirect all operations to root_task_group's data when RT_GROUP_SCHED
disabled.

When RT_GROUPs are compiled but not exposed, their bandwidth cannot
be configured (and it is not initialized for non-root task_groups neither).
Therefore bypass any checks of task vs task_group bandwidth.
This will achieve behavior very similar to setups that have
!CONFIG_RT_GROUP_SCHED and attach cpu controller to cgroup v2 hierarchy.
(On a related note, this may allow having RT tasks with
CONFIG_RT_GROUP_SCHED and cgroup v2 hierarchy.)

First, we want to prevent placement of RT tasks on non-root rt_rqs which
we achieve in the task migration code that'd fall back to
root_task_group's rt_rq.
Second, we want to work with only root_task_group's rt_rq when iterating
all "real" rt_rqs when RT_GROUP is disabled. To achieve this we keep
root_task_group as the first one on the task_groups and break out
quickly.

rt_rq->tg may be NULL which denotes the root task_group.
Store the pointer to root_task_group directly so that callers may use
rt_rq->tg homogenously.
root_task_group exists always with CONFIG_CGROUPS_SCHED,
CONFIG_RT_GROUP_SCHED depends on that.

commit 10a35e6812 ("sched/pelt: Skip updating util_est when
utilization is higher than CPU's capacity")
prevents util_est from being updated if util_avg is higher than the
underlying CPU capacity to avoid overestimating the task when the CPU
is capped (due to thermal issue for instance). In this scenario, the
task will miss its deadlines and start overlapping its wake-up events
for instance. The task will appear as always running when the CPU is
just not powerful enough to allow having a good estimation of the
task.
commit b8c9636140 ("sched/fair/util_est: Implement faster ramp-up
EWMA on utilization increases")
sets ewma to util_avg when ewma > util_avg, allowing ewma to quickly
grow instead of slowly converge to the new util_avg value when a task
profile changes from small to big.
However, the 2 conditions:
- Check util_avg against max CPU capacity
- Check whether util_est > util_avg
are placed in an order such as it is possible to set util_est to a
value higher than the CPU capacity if util_est > util_avg, but
util_est is prevented to decay as long as:
CPU capacity < util_avg < util_est.
Just remove the check as either:
1.
There is idle time on the CPU. In that case the util_avg value of the
task is actually correct. It is possible that the task missed a
deadline and appears bigger, but this is also the case when the
util_avg of the task is lower than the maximum CPU capacity.
2.
There is no idle time. In that case, the util_avg value might aswell
be an under estimation of the size of the task.
It is possible that undesired frequency spikes will appear when the
task is later enqueued with an inflated util_est value, but the
frequency spike might aswell be deserved. The absence of idle time
prevents from drawing any conclusion.

Use a different approach to topology_span_sane(), that checks for the
same constraint of no partial overlaps for any two CPU sets for
non-NUMA topology levels, but does so in a way that is O(N) rather
than O(N^2).
Instead of comparing with all other masks to detect collisions, keep
one mask that includes all CPUs seen so far and detect collisions with
a single cpumask_intersects test.
If the current mask has no collisions with previously seen masks, it
should be a new mask, which can be uniquely identified by the lowest
bit set in this mask. Keep a pointer to this mask for future
reference (in an array indexed by the lowest bit set), and add the
CPUs in this mask to the list of those seen.
If the current mask does collide with previously seen masks, it should
be exactly equal to a mask seen before, looked up in the same array
indexed by the lowest bit set in the mask, a single comparison.
Move the topology_span_sane() check out of the existing topology level
loop, let it use its own loop so that the array allocation can be done
only once, shared across levels.
On a system with 1920 processors (16 sockets, 60 cores, 2 threads),

Replace kzalloc with kvzalloc for the exit_dump buffer allocation, which
can require large contiguous memory depending on the implementation.
This change prevents allocation failures by allowing the system to fall
back to vmalloc when contiguous memory allocation fails.
Since this buffer is only used for debugging purposes, physical memory
contiguity is not required, making vmalloc a suitable alternative.

Provide a new kfunc, scx_bpf_select_cpu_and(), that can be used to apply
the built-in idle CPU selection policy to a subset of allowed CPU.
This new helper is basically an extension of scx_bpf_select_cpu_dfl().
However, when an idle CPU can't be found, it returns a negative value
instead of @prev_cpu, aligning its behavior more closely with
scx_bpf_pick_idle_cpu().
It also accepts %SCX_PICK_IDLE_* flags, which can be used to enforce
strict selection to @prev_cpu's node (%SCX_PICK_IDLE_IN_NODE), or to
request only a full-idle SMT core (%SCX_PICK_IDLE_CORE), while applying
the built-in selection logic.
With this helper, BPF schedulers can apply the built-in idle CPU
selection policy restricted to any arbitrary subset of CPUs.
Example usage
=============
Possible usage in ops.select_cpu():
s32 BPF_STRUCT_OPS(foo_select_cpu, struct task_struct *p,
s32 prev_cpu, u64 wake_flags)
{
const struct cpumask *cpus = task_allowed_cpus(p) ?: p->cpus_ptr;
s32 cpu;
cpu = scx_bpf_select_cpu_and(p, prev_cpu, wake_flags, cpus, 0);
if (cpu >= 0) {
scx_bpf_dsq_insert(p, SCX_DSQ_LOCAL, SCX_SLICE_DFL, 0);
return cpu;
}
return prev_cpu;
}

Many scx schedulers implement their own hard or soft-affinity rules
to support topology characteristics, such as heterogeneous architectures
(e.g., big.LITTLE, P-cores/E-cores), or to categorize tasks based on
specific properties (e.g., running certain tasks only in a subset of
CPUs).
Currently, there is no mechanism that allows to use the built-in idle
CPU selection policy to an arbitrary subset of CPUs. As a result,
schedulers often implement their own idle CPU selection policies, which
are typically similar to one another, leading to a lot of code
duplication.
To address this, modify scx_select_cpu_dfl() to accept an arbitrary
cpumask, that can be used by the BPF schedulers to apply the existent
built-in idle CPU selection policy to a subset of allowed CPUs.
With this concept the idle CPU selection policy becomes the following:
- always prioritize CPUs from fully idle SMT cores (if SMT is enabled),
- select the same CPU if it's idle and in the allowed CPUs,
- select an idle CPU within the same LLC, if the LLC cpumask is a
subset of the allowed CPUs,
- select an idle CPU within the same node, if the node cpumask is a
subset of the allowed CPUs,
- select an idle CPU within the allowed CPUs.
This functionality will be exposed through a dedicated kfunc in a
separate patch.

Modify scx_select_cpu_dfl() to take the allowed cpumask as an explicit
argument, instead of implicitly using @p->cpus_ptr.
This prepares for future changes where arbitrary cpumasks may be passed
to the built-in idle CPU selection policy.
This is a pure refactoring with no functional changes.

The built-in idle selection policy, scx_select_cpu_dfl(), always
prioritizes picking idle CPUs within the same LLC or NUMA node, but
these optimizations are currently applied only when a task has no CPU
affinity constraints.
This is done primarily for efficiency, as it avoids the overhead of
updating a cpumask every time we need to select an idle CPU (which can
be costly in large SMP systems).
However, this approach limits the effectiveness of the built-in idle
policy and results in inconsistent behavior, as affinity-restricted
tasks don't benefit from topology-aware optimizations.
To address this, modify the policy to apply LLC and NUMA-aware
optimizations even when a task is constrained to a subset of CPUs.
We can still avoid updating the cpumasks by checking if the subset of
LLC and node CPUs are contained in the subset of allowed CPUs usable by
the task (which is true in most of the cases - for tasks that don't have
affinity constratints).
Moreover, use temporary local per-CPU cpumasks to determine the LLC and
node subsets, minimizing potential overhead even on large SMP systems.

Eliminate a useless task_work on execve by moving the call to
rseq_set_notify_resume() from sched_mm_cid_after_execve() to the error
path of bprm_execve().
The call to rseq_set_notify_resume() from sched_mm_cid_after_execve() is
pointless in the success case, because rseq_execve() will clear the rseq
pointer before returning to userspace.
sched_mm_cid_after_execve() is called from both the success and error
paths of bprm_execve(). The call to rseq_set_notify_resume() is needed
on error because the mm_cid may have changed.
Also move the rseq_execve() to right after sched_mm_cid_after_execve()
in bprm_execve().

- Add some trace events to osnoise and timerlat sample generation
This adds more information to the osnoise and timerlat tracers as well as

- Fix to DECLARE_TRACE_CONDITION() macro
It wasn't used but now will be and it happened to be broken causing the
build to fail.
- Add scheduler specification monitors to runtime verifier (RV)
This is a continuation of Daniel Bristot's work.
RV allows monitors to run and react concurrently. Running the cumulative
model is equivalent to running single components using the same
reactors, with the advantage that it's easier to point out which
specification failed in case of error.
This update introduces nested monitors to RV, in short, the sysfs
monitor folder will contain a monitor named sched, which is nothing but
an empty container for other monitors. Controlling the sched monitor
(enable, disable, set reactors) controls all nested monitors.
The following scheduling monitors are added:
* sco: scheduling context operations
Monitor to ensure sched_set_state happens only in thread context
* tss: task switch while scheduling
Monitor to ensure sched_switch happens only in scheduling context
* snroc: set non runnable on its own context
Monitor to ensure set_state happens only in the respective task's context

A BPF scheduler may want to use the built-in idle cpumasks in ops.init()
before the scheduler is fully initialized, either directly or through a
BPF timer for example.
However, this would result in an error, since the idle state has not
been properly initialized yet.
This can be easily verified by modifying scx_simple to call
scx_bpf_get_idle_cpumask() in ops.init():
$ sudo scx_simple
DEBUG DUMP
===========================================================================
scx_simple[121] triggered exit kind 1024:
runtime error (built-in idle tracking is disabled)
...
Fix this by properly initializing the idle state before ops.init() is
called. With this change applied:
$ sudo scx_simple
local=2 global=0
local=19 global=11
local=23 global=11

create_dsq and therefore the scx_bpf_create_dsq kfunc currently silently
ignore duplicate entries. As a sched_ext scheduler is creating each DSQ
for a different purpose this is surprising behaviour.
Replace rhashtable_insert_fast which ignores duplicates with
rhashtable_lookup_insert_fast that reports duplicates (though doesn't
return their value). The rest of the code is structured correctly and
this now returns -EEXIST.
Tested by adding an extra scx_bpf_create_dsq to scx_simple. Previously
this was ignored, now init fails with a -17 code. Also ran scx_lavd
which continued to work well.

This pull request contains the following branches:
docs.2025.02.04a:
- Add broken-timing possibility to stallwarn.rst.
- Improve discussion of this_cpu_ptr(), add raw_cpu_ptr().
- Document self-propagating callbacks.
- Point call_srcu() to call_rcu() for detailed memory ordering.
- Add CONFIG_RCU_LAZY delays to call_rcu() kernel-doc header.
- Clarify RCU_LAZY and RCU_LAZY_DEFAULT_OFF help text.
- Remove references to old grace-period-wait primitives.
srcu.2025.02.05a:
- Introduce srcu_read_{un,}lock_fast(), which is similar to
srcu_read_{un,}lock_lite(): avoid smp_mb()s in lock and unlock at the
cost of calling synchronize_rcu() in synchronize_srcu(). Moreover, by
returning the percpu offset of the counter at srcu_read_lock_fast()
time, srcu_read_unlock_fast() can save extra pointer dereferencing,
which makes it faster than srcu_read_{un,}lock_lite().
srcu_read_{un,}lock_fast() are intended to replace
rcu_read_{un,}lock_trace() if possible.
torture.2025.02.05a:
- Add get_torture_init_jiffies() to return the start time of the test.
- Add a test_boost_holdoff module parameter to allow delaying boosting
tests when building rcutorture as built-in.
- Add grace period sequence number logging at the beginning and end of
failure/close-call results.
- Switch to hexadecimal for the expedited grace period sequence number
in the rcu_exp_grace_period trace point.
- Make cur_ops->format_gp_seqs take buffer length.
- Move RCU_TORTURE_TEST_{CHK_RDR_STATE,LOG_CPU} to bool.
- Complain when invalid SRCU reader_flavor is specified.
- Add FORCE_NEED_SRCU_NMI_SAFE Kconfig for testing, which forces SRCU
uses atomics even when percpu ops are NMI safe, and use the Kconfig
for SRCU lockdep testing.
misc.2025.03.04a:
- Split rcu_report_exp_cpu_mult() mask parameter and use for tracing.

- rcu: Rename PREEMPT_AUTO to PREEMPT_LAZY.
- Update __cond_resched comment about RCU quiescent states.

CONFIG_TRACE_BRANCH_PROFILING inserts a call to ftrace_likely_update()
for each use of likely() or unlikely(). That breaks noinstr rules if
the affected function is annotated as noinstr.
Disable branch profiling for files with noinstr functions. In addition
to some individual files, this also includes the entire arch/x86
subtree, as well as the kernel/entry, drivers/cpuidle, and drivers/idle
directories, all of which are noinstr-heavy.
Due to the nature of how sched binaries are built by combining multiple
.c files into one, branch profiling is disabled more broadly across the
sched code than would otherwise be needed.
This fixes many warnings like the following:
vmlinux.o: warning: objtool: do_syscall_64+0x40: call to ftrace_likely_update() leaves .noinstr.text section
vmlinux.o: warning: objtool: __rdgsbase_inactive+0x33: call to ftrace_likely_update() leaves .noinstr.text section

The scheduler has this special SCHED_WARN() facility that
depends on CONFIG_SCHED_DEBUG.
Since CONFIG_SCHED_DEBUG is getting removed, convert
SCHED_WARN() to WARN_ON_ONCE().
Note that the warning output isn't 100% equivalent:
#define SCHED_WARN_ON(x) WARN_ONCE(x, #x)
Because SCHED_WARN_ON() would output the 'x' condition
as well, while WARN_ONCE() will only show a backtrace.
Hopefully these are rare enough to not really matter.
If it does, we should probably introduce a new WARN_ON()
variant that outputs the condition in stringified form,
or improve WARN_ON() itself.

Rebuilding of root domains accounting information (total_bw) is
currently broken on some cases, e.g. suspend/resume on aarch64. Problem
is that the way we keep track of domain changes and try to add bandwidth
back is convoluted and fragile.
Fix it by simplify things by making sure bandwidth accounting is cleared
and completely restored after root domains changes (after root domains
are again stable).
To be sure we always call dl_rebuild_rd_accounting while holding
cpuset_mutex we also add cpuset_reset_sched_domains() wrapper.

Bandwidth checks and updates that work on root domains currently employ
a cookie mechanism for efficiency. This mechanism is very much tied to
when root domains are first created and initialized.
Generalize the cookie mechanism so that it can be used also later at
runtime while updating root domains. Also, additionally guard it with
sched_domains_mutex, since domains need to be stable while updating them
(and it will be required for further dynamic changes).

The individual architectures often add the preemption model to the begin
of the backtrace. This is the case on X86 or ARM64 for the "die" case
but not for regular warning. With the addition of DYNAMIC_PREEMPT for
PREEMPT_RT we end up with CONFIG_PREEMPT and CONFIG_PREEMPT_RT set
simultaneously. That means that everyone who tried to add that piece of
information gets it wrong for PREEMPT_RT because PREEMPT is checked
first.
Provide a generic function which returns the current scheduling model
considering LAZY preempt and the current state of PREEMPT_DYNAMIC.

This reverts commit eff6c8ce8d.
Hazem reported a 30% drop in UnixBench spawn test with commit
eff6c8ce8d ("sched/core: Reduce cost of sched_move_task when config
autogroup") on a m6g.xlarge AWS EC2 instance with 4 vCPUs and 16 GiB RAM
(aarch64) (single level MC sched domain):
https://lkml.kernel.org/r/20250205151026.13061-1-hagarhem@amazon.com
There is an early bail from sched_move_task() if p->sched_task_group is
equal to p's 'cpu cgroup' (sched_get_task_group()). E.g. both are
pointing to taskgroup '/user.slice/user-1000.slice/session-1.scope'
(Ubuntu '22.04.5 LTS').
So in:
do_exit()
sched_autogroup_exit_task()
sched_move_task()
if sched_get_task_group(p) == p->sched_task_group
return
/* p is enqueued */
dequeue_task() \
sched_change_group() |
task_change_group_fair() |
detach_task_cfs_rq() | (1)
set_task_rq() |
attach_task_cfs_rq() |
enqueue_task() /
(1) isn't called for p anymore.
Turns out that the regression is related to sgs->group_util in
group_is_overloaded() and group_has_capacity(). If (1) isn't called for
all the 'spawn' tasks then sgs->group_util is ~900 and
sgs->group_capacity = 1024 (single CPU sched domain) and this leads to
group_is_overloaded() returning true (2) and group_has_capacity() false
(3) much more often compared to the case when (1) is called.
I.e. there are much more cases of 'group_is_overloaded' and
'group_fully_busy' in WF_FORK wakeup sched_balance_find_dst_cpu() which
then returns much more often a CPU != smp_processor_id() (5).
This isn't good for these extremely short running tasks (FORK + EXIT)
and also involves calling sched_balance_find_dst_group_cpu() unnecessary
(single CPU sched domain).
Instead if (1) is called for 'p->flags & PF_EXITING' then the path
(4),(6) is taken much more often.
select_task_rq_fair(..., wake_flags = WF_FORK)
cpu = smp_processor_id()
new_cpu = sched_balance_find_dst_cpu(..., cpu, ...)
group = sched_balance_find_dst_group(..., cpu)
do {
update_sg_wakeup_stats()
sgs->group_type = group_classify()
if group_is_overloaded() (2)
return group_overloaded
if !group_has_capacity() (3)
return group_fully_busy
return group_has_spare (4)
} while group
if local_sgs.group_type > idlest_sgs.group_type
return idlest (5)
case group_has_spare:
if local_sgs.idle_cpus >= idlest_sgs.idle_cpus
return NULL (6)

Repeat calls of static_branch_enable() to an already enabled
static key introduce overhead, because it calls cpus_read_lock().
Users may frequently set the uclamp value of tasks, triggering
the repeat enabling of the sched_uclamp_used static key.
Optimize this and avoid repeat calls to static_branch_enable()
by checking whether it's enabled already.

However, there is no point re-enqueuing tasks that can only run on that

without any benefit.
Therefore, skip per-CPU tasks in scx_bpf_reenqueue_local().

sched_ext: Validate prev_cpu in scx_bpf_select_cpu_dfl()
The sched_clock_irqtime was defined as a static key in:
8722903cbb ("sched: Define sched_clock_irqtime as static key")
However, this change introduces a 'sleeping in atomic context' warning:
arch/x86/kernel/tsc.c:1214 mark_tsc_unstable()
warn: sleeping in atomic context
As analyzed by Dan, the affected code path is as follows:
vcpu_load() <- disables preempt
-> kvm_arch_vcpu_load()
-> mark_tsc_unstable() <- sleeps
virt/kvm/kvm_main.c
166 void vcpu_load(struct kvm_vcpu *vcpu)

^^^^^^^^^^
This get_cpu() disables preemption.
169
170 __this_cpu_write(kvm_running_vcpu, vcpu);

172 kvm_arch_vcpu_load(vcpu, cpu);

174 }

4979 if (unlikely(vcpu->cpu != cpu) || kvm_check_tsc_unstable()) {
4980 s64 tsc_delta = !vcpu->arch.last_host_tsc ? 0 :
4981 rdtsc() - vcpu->arch.last_host_tsc;
4982 if (tsc_delta < 0)
4983 mark_tsc_unstable("KVM discovered backwards TSC");
arch/x86/kernel/tsc.c
1206 void mark_tsc_unstable(char *reason)

1210
1211 tsc_unstable = 1;
1212 if (using_native_sched_clock())

^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
This lock has a might_sleep() in it which triggers the static checker
warning.
248 static_key_disable_cpuslocked(key);
249 cpus_read_unlock();
250 }
Let revert this change for now as {disable,enable}_sched_clock_irqtime
are used in many places, as pointed out by Sean, including the following:
The code path in clocksource_watchdog():
clocksource_watchdog()
|
-> spin_lock(&watchdog_lock);
|
-> __clocksource_unstable()
|
-> clocksource.mark_unstable() == tsc_cs_mark_unstable()
|
-> disable_sched_clock_irqtime()
And the code path in sched_clock_register():
/* Cannot register a sched_clock with interrupts on */
local_irq_save(flags);
...
/* Enable IRQ time accounting if we have a fast enough sched_clock() */
if (irqtime > 0 || (irqtime == -1 && rate >= 1000000))
enable_sched_clock_irqtime();
local_irq_restore(flags);

The ftrace selftest reported a failure because writing -1 to
sched_rt_runtime_us returns -EBUSY. This happens when the possible
CPUs are different from active CPUs.
Active CPUs are part of one root domain, while remaining CPUs are part
of def_root_domain. Since active cpumask is being used, this results in
cpus=0 when a non active CPUs is used in the loop.
Fix it by looping over the online CPUs instead for validating the

child_cfs_rq_on_list attempts to convert a 'prev' pointer to a cfs_rq.
This 'prev' pointer can originate from struct rq's leaf_cfs_rq_list,
making the conversion invalid and potentially leading to memory
corruption. Depending on the relative positions of leaf_cfs_rq_list and
the task group (tg) pointer within the struct, this can cause a memory
fault or access garbage data.
The issue arises in list_add_leaf_cfs_rq, where both
cfs_rq->leaf_cfs_rq_list and rq->leaf_cfs_rq_list are added to the same
leaf list. Also, rq->tmp_alone_branch can be set to rq->leaf_cfs_rq_list.
This adds a check `if (prev == &rq->leaf_cfs_rq_list)` after the main
conditional in child_cfs_rq_on_list. This ensures that the container_of
operation will convert a correct cfs_rq struct.
This check is sufficient because only cfs_rqs on the same CPU are added
to the list, so verifying the 'prev' pointer against the current rq's list
head is enough.
Fixes a potential memory corruption issue that due to current struct
layout might not be manifesting as a crash but could lead to unpredictable
behavior when the layout changes.

hardirqs last disabled at (15580): [<ffffffffa8281b73>] __up_console_sem+0x63/0x90
That means __up_console_sem() was invoked with interrupts enabled. Further
instrumentation revealed that in the interrupt disabled section of kexec
jump one of the syscore_suspend() callbacks woke up a task, which set the
NEED_RESCHED flag. A later callback in the resume path invoked
cond_resched() which in turn led to the invocation of the scheduler:

the recent printk changes. Something does a task wakeup and the
scheduler sets the NEED_RESCHED flag. cond_resched() sees it set and
invokes schedule() from a completely bogus context. The scheduler
enables interrupts after context switching, which causes the above
warning at the end.
Quite some of the code paths in syscore_suspend()/resume() can result in
triggering a wakeup with the exactly same consequences. They might not
have done so yet, but as they share a lot of code with normal operations
it's just a question of time.
The problem only affects the PREEMPT_NONE and PREEMPT_VOLUNTARY scheduling
models. Full preemption is not affected as cond_resched() is disabled and
the preemption check preemptible() takes the interrupt disabled flag into
account.
Cure the problem by adding a corresponding check into cond_resched().

pick_task_scx() has a workaround to avoid stalling when the fair class's
balance() says yes but pick_task() says no. The workaround was incorrectly
deciding to keep the prev taks running if the task is on SCX even when the
task is in a sleeping state, which can lead to several confusing failure
modes. Fix it by testing the prev task is currently queued on SCX instead.

a6250aa251 ("sched_ext: Handle cases where pick_task_scx() is called
without preceding balance_scx()") added a workaround to handle the cases
where pick_task_scx() is called without prececing balance_scx() which is due
to a fair class bug where pick_taks_fair() may return NULL after a true
return from balance_fair().
The workaround detects when pick_task_scx() is called without preceding
balance_scx() and emulates SCX_RQ_BAL_KEEP and triggers kicking to avoid
stalling. Unfortunately, the workaround code was testing whether @prev was
on SCX to decide whether to keep the task running. This is incorrect as the
task may be on SCX but no longer runnable.
This could lead to a non-runnable task to be returned from pick_task_scx()
which cause interesting confusions and failures. e.g. A common failure mode
is the task ending up with (!on_rq && on_cpu) state which can cause
potential wakers to busy loop, which can easily lead to deadlocks.
Fix it by testing whether @prev has SCX_TASK_QUEUED set. This makes
@prev_on_scx only used in one place. Open code the usage and improve the
comment while at it.

performance improvements:
before after improvement
sched_getattr 182.4ns 170.6ns ~6.5%
sched_setattr 284.3ns 267.6ns ~5.9%
sched_getparam 161.6ns 148.1ns ~8.4%

sched_getscheduler 129.4ns 118.2ns ~8.7%
sched_setscheduler 1237.3ns 1216.7ns ~1.7%
Results are based on running 20 tests with turbo disabled (to reduce
clock freq turbo changes), with 10 second run per test based on the
number of system calls per second. The % standard deviation of the
measurements for the 20 tests was 0.05% to 0.40%, so the results are

When a process reduces its number of threads or clears bits in its CPU
affinity mask, the mm_cid allocation should eventually converge towards
smaller values.
However, the change introduced by:
commit 7e019dcc47 ("sched: Improve cache locality of RSEQ concurrency
IDs for intermittent workloads")
adds a per-mm/CPU recent_cid which is never unset unless a thread
migrates.
This is a tradeoff between:
A) Preserving cache locality after a transition from many threads to few
threads, or after reducing the hamming weight of the allowed CPU mask.
B) Making the mm_cid upper bounds wrt nr threads and allowed CPU mask
easy to document and understand.
C) Allowing applications to eventually react to mm_cid compaction after
reduction of the nr threads or allowed CPU mask, making the tracking
of mm_cid compaction easier by shrinking it back towards 0 or not.
D) Making sure applications that periodically reduce and then increase
again the nr threads or allowed CPU mask still benefit from good
cache locality with mm_cid.
Introduce the following changes:
* After shrinking the number of threads or reducing the number of
allowed CPUs, reduce the value of max_nr_cid so expansion of CID
allocation will preserve cache locality if the number of threads or
allowed CPUs increase again.
* Only re-use a recent_cid if it is within the max_nr_cid upper bound,
else find the first available CID.

Using a single global idle mask can lead to inefficiencies and a lot of
stress on the cache coherency protocol on large systems with multiple
NUMA nodes, since all the CPUs can create a really intense read/write
activity on the single global cpumask.
Therefore, split the global cpumask into multiple per-NUMA node cpumasks
to improve scalability and performance on large systems.
The concept is that each cpumask will track only the idle CPUs within
its corresponding NUMA node, treating CPUs in other NUMA nodes as busy.
In this way concurrent access to the idle cpumask will be restricted
within each NUMA node.
The split of multiple per-node idle cpumasks can be controlled using the
SCX_OPS_BUILTIN_IDLE_PER_NODE flag.
By default SCX_OPS_BUILTIN_IDLE_PER_NODE is not enabled and a global
host-wide idle cpumask is used, maintaining the previous behavior.
NOTE: if a scheduler explicitly enables the per-node idle cpumasks (via
SCX_OPS_BUILTIN_IDLE_PER_NODE), scx_bpf_get_idle_cpu/smtmask() will
trigger an scx error, since there are no system-wide cpumasks.
= Test =
Hardware:
- System: DGX B200
- CPUs: 224 SMT threads (112 physical cores)
- Processor: INTEL(R) XEON(R) PLATINUM 8570
- 2 NUMA nodes
Scheduler:
- scx_simple [1] (so that we can focus at the built-in idle selection
policy and not at the scheduling policy itself)
Test:
- Run a parallel kernel build `make -j $(nproc)` and measure the average
elapsed time over 10 runs:
avg time | stdev
---------+------
before: 52.431s | 2.895
after: 50.342s | 2.895
= Conclusion =
Splitting the global cpumask into multiple per-NUMA cpumasks helped to
achieve a speedup of approximately +4% with this particular architecture
and test case.
The same test on a DGX-1 (40 physical cores, Intel Xeon E5-2698 v4 @
2.20GHz, 2 NUMA nodes) shows a speedup of around 1.5-3%.
On smaller systems, I haven't noticed any measurable regressions or
improvements with the same test (parallel kernel build) and scheduler
(scx_simple).
Moreover, with a modified scx_bpfland that uses the new NUMA-aware APIs
I observed an additional +2-2.5% performance improvement with the same
test.

The old default value for slice is 0.75 msec * (1 + ilog(ncpus)) which
means that we have a default slice of:
0.75 for 1 cpu
1.50 up to 3 cpus
2.25 up to 7 cpus
3.00 for 8 cpus and above.
For HZ=250 and HZ=100, because of the tick accuracy, the runtime of
tasks is far higher than their slice.
For HZ=1000 with 8 cpus or more, the accuracy of tick is already
satisfactory, but there is still an issue that tasks will get an extra
tick because the tick often arrives a little faster than expected. In
this case, the task can only wait until the next tick to consider that it
has reached its deadline, and will run 1ms longer.
vruntime + sysctl_sched_base_slice = deadline
|-----------|-----------|-----------|-----------|
1ms 1ms 1ms 1ms
^ ^ ^ ^
tick1 tick2 tick3 tick4(nearly 4ms)
There are two reasons for tick error: clockevent precision and the
CONFIG_IRQ_TIME_ACCOUNTING/CONFIG_PARAVIRT_TIME_ACCOUNTING. with
CONFIG_IRQ_TIME_ACCOUNTING every tick will be less than 1ms, but even
without it, because of clockevent precision, tick still often less than
1ms.
In order to make scheduling more precise, we changed 0.75 to 0.70,
Using 0.70 instead of 0.75 should not change much for other configs
and would fix this issue:
0.70 for 1 cpu
1.40 up to 3 cpus
2.10 up to 7 cpus
2.8 for 8 cpus and above.
This does not guarantee that tasks can run the slice time accurately
every time, but occasionally running an extra tick has little impact.

A wakeup non-idle entity should preempt idle entity at any time,
but because of the slice protection of the idle entity, the non-idle
entity has to wait, so just cancel it.
This patch is aimed at minimizing the impact of SCHED_IDLE on
SCHED_NORMAL. For example, a task with SCHED_IDLE policy that sleeps for
1s and then runs for 3 ms, running cyclictest on the same cpu, has a
maximum latency of 3 ms, which is caused by the slice protection of the
idle entity. It is unreasonable. With this patch, the cyclictest latency
under the same conditions is basically the same on the cpu with idle
processes and on empty cpu.

A task wakeup can be either processed on the waker's CPU or bounced to the
wakee's previous CPU using an IPI (ttwu_queue). Bouncing to the wakee's CPU
avoids the waker's CPU locking and accessing the wakee's rq which can be
expensive across cache and node boundaries.
When ttwu_queue path is taken, select_task_rq() and thus ops.select_cpu()
may be skipped in some cases (racing against the wakee switching out). As
this confused some BPF schedulers, there wasn't a good way for a BPF
scheduler to tell whether idle CPU selection has been skipped, ops.enqueue()
couldn't insert tasks into foreign local DSQs, and the performance
difference on machines with simple toplogies were minimal, sched_ext
disabled ttwu_queue.
However, this optimization makes noticeable difference on more complex
topologies and a BPF scheduler now has an easy way tell whether
ops.select_cpu() was skipped since 9b671793c7 ("sched_ext, scx_qmap: Add
and use SCX_ENQ_CPU_SELECTED") and can insert tasks into foreign local DSQs
since 5b26f7b920 ("sched_ext: Allow SCX_DSQ_LOCAL_ON for direct
dispatches").
Implement SCX_OPS_ALLOW_QUEUED_WAKEUP which allows BPF schedulers to choose
to enable ttwu_queue optimization.

Now when we use scx_bpf_task_cgroup() in ops.tick() to get the cgroup of
the current task, the following error will occur:
scx_foo[3795244] triggered exit kind 1024:
runtime error (called on a task not being operated on)
The reason is that we are using SCX_CALL_OP() instead of SCX_CALL_OP_TASK()
when calling ops.tick(), which triggers the error during the subsequent
scx_kf_allowed_on_arg_tasks() check.
SCX_CALL_OP_TASK() was first introduced in commit 36454023f5 ("sched_ext:
Track tasks that are subjects of the in-flight SCX operation") to ensure
task's rq lock is held when accessing task's sched_group. Since ops.tick()
is marked as SCX_KF_TERMINAL and task_tick_scx() is protected by the rq
lock, we can use SCX_CALL_OP_TASK() to avoid the above issue. Similarly,
the same changes should be made for ops.disable() and ops.exit_task(), as
they are also protected by task_rq_lock() and it's safe to access the
task's task_group.

with 26176116d9 ("sched_ext: Count SCX_EV_DISPATCH_LOCAL_DSQ_OFFLINE in
the right spot") in for-6.15.
While fixing migration disabled task handling, 3296682157 ("sched_ext: Fix
migration disabled handling in targeted dispatches") assumed that a
migration disabled task's ->cpus_ptr would only have the pinned CPU. While
this is eventually true for migration disabled tasks that are switched out,
->cpus_ptr update is performed by migrate_disable_switch() which is called
right before context_switch() in __scheduler(). However, the task is
enqueued earlier during pick_next_task() via put_prev_task_scx(), so there
is a race window where another CPU can see the task on a DSQ.
If the CPU tries to dispatch the migration disabled task while in that
window, task_allowed_on_cpu() will succeed and task_can_run_on_remote_rq()
will subsequently trigger SCHED_WARN(is_migration_disabled()).

Fix it by converting the SCHED_WARN() back to a regular failure path. Also,
perform the migration disabled test before task_allowed_on_cpu() test so
that BPF schedulers which fail to handle migration disabled tasks can be
noticed easily.

SCX_EV_DISPATCH_LOCAL_DSQ_OFFLINE wasn't quite right in two aspects:
- It counted both migration disabled and offline events.
- It didn't count events from scx_bpf_dsq_move() path.
Fix it by moving the counting into task_can_run_on_remote_rq() which is
shared by both paths and can distinguish the different rejection conditions.

Pull to receive:
- 2fa0fbeb69 ("sched_ext: Implement auto local dispatching of migration disabled tasks")
- 3296682157 ("sched_ext: Fix migration disabled handling in targeted dispatches")
as planned for-6.15 changes depend on them (e.g. adding event counter for
implicit migration disabled task handling).
A dispatch operation that can target a specific local DSQ -
scx_bpf_dsq_move_to_local() or scx_bpf_dsq_move() - checks whether the task
can be migrated to the target CPU using task_can_run_on_remote_rq(). If the
task can't be migrated to the targeted CPU, it is bounced through a global
DSQ.
task_can_run_on_remote_rq() assumes that the task is on a CPU that's
different from the targeted CPU but the callers doesn't uphold the
assumption and may call the function when the task is already on the target
CPU. When such task has migration disabled, task_can_run_on_remote_rq() ends
up returning %false incorrectly unnecessarily bouncing the task to a global
DSQ.
Fix it by updating the callers to only call task_can_run_on_remote_rq() when
the task is on a different CPU than the target CPU. As this is a bit subtle,
for clarity and documentation:
- Make task_can_run_on_remote_rq() trigger SCHED_WARN_ON() if the task is on
the same CPU as the target CPU.
- is_migration_disabled() test in task_can_run_on_remote_rq() cannot trigger
if the task is on a different CPU than the target CPU as the preceding
task_allowed_on_cpu() test should fail beforehand. Convert the test into
SCHED_WARN_ON().

Migration disabled tasks are special and pinned to their previous CPUs. They
tripped up some unsuspecting BPF schedulers as their ->nr_cpus_allowed may
not agree with the bits set in ->cpus_ptr. Make it easier for BPF schedulers
by automatically dispatching them to the pinned local DSQs by default. If a
BPF scheduler wants to handle migration disabled tasks explicitly, it can
set SCX_OPS_ENQ_MIGRATION_DISABLED.

Add a core event, SCX_EV_ENQ_SLICE_DFL, which represents how many
tasks have been enqueued (or pick_task-ed or select_cpu-ed) with
a default time slice (SCX_SLICE_DFL).
Scheduling a task with SCX_SLICE_DFL unintentionally would be a source
of latency spikes because SCX_SLICE_DFL is relatively long (20 msec).
Thus, soaring the SCX_EV_ENQ_SLICE_DFL value would be a sign of BPF
scheduler bugs, causing latency spikes, especially when ops.select_cpu()
is provided.

This happens because dispatch_to_local_dsq() is racing with
dispatch_dequeue() and, when the latter wins, we incorrectly assume that
the task has been moved to dst_rq.
Fix by properly tracking the currently locked rq.

scx_move_task() is called from sched_move_task() and tells the BPF scheduler
that cgroup migration is being committed. sched_move_task() is used by both
cgroup and autogroup migrations and scx_move_task() tried to filter out
autogroup migrations by testing the destination cgroup and PF_EXITING but
this is not enough. In fact, without explicitly tagging the thread which is
doing the cgroup migration, there is no good way to tell apart
scx_move_task() invocations for racing migration to the root cgroup and an
autogroup migration.
This led to scx_move_task() incorrectly ignoring a migration from non-root
cgroup to an autogroup of the root cgroup triggering the following warning:
WARNING: CPU: 7 PID: 1 at kernel/sched/ext.c:3725 scx_cgroup_can_attach+0x196/0x340

Fix it by adding an argument to sched_move_task() that indicates whether the
moving is for a cgroup or autogroup migration. After the change,
scx_move_task() is called only for cgroup migrations and renamed to
scx_cgroup_move_task().

Resending this patch as I haven't received feedback on my initial
submission https://lore.kernel.org/all/20241204182953.10854-1-oxana@cloudflare.com/
For the processes which are terminated abnormally the kernel can provide
a coredump if enabled. When the coredump is performed, the process and
all its threads are put into the D state
(TASK_UNINTERRUPTIBLE | TASK_FREEZABLE).
On the other hand, we have kernel thread khungtaskd which monitors the
processes in the D state. If the task stuck in the D state more than
kernel.hung_task_timeout_secs, the hung_task alert appears in the kernel
log.
The higher memory usage of a process, the longer it takes to create
coredump, the longer tasks are in the D state. We have hung_task alerts
for the processes with memory usage above 10Gb. Although, our
kernel.hung_task_timeout_secs is 10 sec when the default is 120 sec.
Adding additional information to the log that the task is blocked by
coredump will help with monitoring. Another approach might be to
completely filter out alerts for such tasks, but in that case we would
lose transparency about what is putting pressure on some system
resources, e.g. we saw an increase in I/O when coredump occurs due its
writing to disk.
Additionally, it would be helpful to have task_struct->flags in the log
from the function sched_show_task(). Currently it prints
task_struct->thread_info->flags, this seems misleading as the line
starts with "task:xxxx".

Report the task weight when dumping the task state during an error exit.
Moreover, adjust the output format to display dsq_vtime, slice, and
weight on the same line.
This can help identify whether certain tasks were excessively
prioritized or de-prioritized due to large niceness gaps.

- scx_bpf_now() added so that BPF scheduler can access the cached timestamp

Pulling sched_ext/for-6.14 into master causes a merge conflict between the

The first commit factored out update_builtin_idle() and the second replaced

Remove the unconditional binding of sugov kthreads to the affected CPUs
if the cpufreq driver indicates that updates can happen from any CPU.
This allows userspace to set affinities to either save power (waking up
bigger CPUs on HMP can be expensive) or increasing performance (by
letting the utilized CPUs run without preemption of the sugov kthread).

Pull power management updates from Rafael Wysocki:
"The majority of changes here are cpufreq updates which are dominated
by amd-pstate driver changes, like in the previous cycle. Moreover,
changes related to amd-pstate are also the majority of cpupower
utility updates.
Included are some pieces of new hardware support, like the addition of
Clearwater Forest processors support to intel_idle, new cpufreq driver
for Airoha SoCs, and Apple cpufreq driver extensions to support more
SoCs. The intel_pstate driver is also extended to be able to support
new platforms by using ACPI CPPC to compute scaling factors between
HWP performance states and frequency.

management code.

1) Per-CPU kthreads must stay affine to a single CPU and never execute
relevant code on any other CPU. This is currently handled by smpboot
code which takes care of CPU-hotplug operations. Affinity here is
a correctness constraint.
2) Some kthreads _have_ to be affine to a specific set of CPUs and can't
run anywhere else. The affinity is set through kthread_bind_mask()
and the subsystem takes care by itself to handle CPU-hotplug
operations. Affinity here is assumed to be a correctness constraint.
3) Per-node kthreads _prefer_ to be affine to a specific NUMA node. This
is not a correctness constraint but merely a preference in terms of
memory locality. kswapd and kcompactd both fall into this category.
The affinity is set manually like for any other task and CPU-hotplug
is supposed to be handled by the relevant subsystem so that the task
is properly reaffined whenever a given CPU from the node comes up.
Also care should be taken so that the node affinity doesn't cross
isolated (nohz_full) cpumask boundaries.
4) Similar to the previous point except kthreads have a _preferred_
affinity different than a node. Both RCU boost kthreads and RCU
exp kworkers fall into this category as they refer to "RCU nodes"
from a distinctly distributed tree.
Currently the preferred affinity patterns (3 and 4) have at least 4
identified users, with more or less success when it comes to handle
CPU-hotplug operations and CPU isolation. Each of which do it in its own
ad-hoc way.
This is an infrastructure proposal to handle this with the following API
changes:
_ kthread_create_on_node() automatically affines the created kthread to
its target node unless it has been set as per-cpu or bound with
kthread_bind[_mask]() before the first wake-up.
- kthread_affine_preferred() is a new function that can be called right
after kthread_create_on_node() to specify a preferred affinity
different than the specified node.
When the preferred affinity can't be applied because the possible
targets are offline or isolated (nohz_full), the kthread is affine
to the housekeeping CPUs (which means to all online CPUs most of the
time or only the non-nohz_full CPUs when nohz_full= is set).
kswapd, kcompactd, RCU boost kthreads and RCU exp kworkers have been
converted, along with a few old drivers.
Summary of the changes:
* Consolidate a bunch of ad-hoc implementations of kthread_run_on_cpu()
* Introduce task_cpu_fallback_mask() that defines the default last
resort affinity of a task to become nohz_full aware
* Add some correctness check to ensure kthread_bind() is always called
before the first kthread wake up.
* Default affine kthread to its preferred node.
* Convert kswapd / kcompactd and remove their halfway working ad-hoc
affinity implementation
* Implement kthreads preferred affinity
* Unify kthread worker and kthread API's style
* Convert RCU kthreads to the new API and remove the ad-hoc affinity
implementation.

set_delayed() adjusts cfs_rq->h_nr_runnable for the hierarchy when an
entity is delayed irrespective of whether the entity corresponds to a
task or a cfs_rq.
Consider the following scenario:
root
/ \
A B (*) delayed since B is no longer eligible on root
| |
Task0 Task1 <--- dequeue_task_fair() - task blocks
When Task1 blocks (dequeue_entity() for task's se returns true),
dequeue_entities() will continue adjusting cfs_rq->h_nr_* for the
hierarchy of Task1. However, when the sched_entity corresponding to
cfs_rq B is delayed, set_delayed() will adjust the h_nr_runnable for the
hierarchy too leading to both dequeue_entity() and set_delayed()
decrementing h_nr_runnable for the dequeue of the same task.
A SCHED_WARN_ON() to inspect h_nr_runnable post its update in
dequeue_entities() like below:
cfs_rq->h_nr_runnable -= h_nr_runnable;
SCHED_WARN_ON(((int) cfs_rq->h_nr_runnable) < 0);
is consistently tripped when running wakeup intensive workloads like
hackbench in a cgroup.
This error is self correcting since cfs_rq are per-cpu and cannot
migrate. The entitiy is either picked for full dequeue or is requeued
when a task wakes up below it. Both those paths call clear_delayed()
which again increments h_nr_runnable of the hierarchy without
considering if the entity corresponds to a task or not.
h_nr_runnable will eventually reflect the correct value however in the
interim, the incorrect values can still influence PELT calculation which
uses se->runnable_weight or cfs_rq->h_nr_runnable.
Since only delayed tasks take the early return path in
dequeue_entities() and enqueue_task_fair(), adjust the
h_nr_runnable in {set,clear}_delayed() only when a task is delayed as
this path skips the h_nr_* update loops and returns early.
For entities corresponding to cfs_rq, the h_nr_* update loop in the
caller will do the right thing.

CPU unplug first calls __cpu_disable(), and that's where powerpc calls
cleanup_cpu_mmu_context(), which clears this CPU from mm_cpumask() of all
mms in the system.
However this CPU may still be using a lazy tlb mm, and its mm_cpumask bit
will be cleared from it. The CPU does not switch away from the lazy tlb
mm until arch_cpu_idle_dead() calls idle_task_exit().
If that user mm exits in this window, it will not be subject to the lazy
tlb mm shootdown and may be freed while in use as a lazy mm by the CPU
that is being unplugged.
cleanup_cpu_mmu_context() could be moved later, but it looks better to
move the lazy tlb mm switching earlier. The problem with doing the lazy
mm switching in idle_task_exit() is explained in commit bf2c59fce4
("sched/core: Fix illegal RCU from offline CPUs"), which added a wart to
switch away from the mm but leave it set in active_mm to be cleaned up
later.
So instead, switch away from the lazy tlb mm at sched_cpu_wait_empty(),
which is the last hotplug state before teardown
(CPUHP_AP_SCHED_WAIT_EMPTY). This CPU will never switch to a user thread
from this point, so it has no chance to pick up a new lazy tlb mm. This
removes the lazy tlb mm handling wart in CPU unplug.
With this, idle_task_exit() is not needed anymore and can be cleaned up.
This leaves the prototype alone, to be cleaned after this change.

kasan_record_aux_stack_noalloc() was introduced to record a stack trace
without allocating memory in the process. It has been added to callers
which were invoked while a raw_spinlock_t was held. More and more callers
were identified and changed over time. Is it a good thing to have this
while functions try their best to do a locklessly setup? The only
downside of having kasan_record_aux_stack() not allocate any memory is
that we end up without a stacktrace if stackdepot runs out of memory and
at the same stacktrace was not recorded before To quote Marco Elver from
https://lore.kernel.org/all/CANpmjNPmQYJ7pv1N3cuU8cP18u7PP_uoZD8YxwZd4jtbof9nVQ@mail.gmail.com/
| I'd be in favor, it simplifies things. And stack depot should be
| able to replenish its pool sufficiently in the "non-aux" cases
| i.e. regular allocations. Worst case we fail to record some
| aux stacks, but I think that's only really bad if there's a bug
| around one of these allocations. In general the probabilities
| of this being a regression are extremely small [...]
Make the kasan_record_aux_stack_noalloc() behaviour default as
kasan_record_aux_stack().

When running hackbench in a cgroup with bandwidth throttling enabled,
following PSI splat was observed:
psi: inconsistent task state! task=1831:hackbench cpu=8 psi_flags=14 clear=0 set=4
When investigating the series of events leading up to the splat,
following sequence was observed:
[008] d..2.: sched_switch: ... ==> next_comm=hackbench next_pid=1831 next_prio=120
...
[008] dN.2.: dequeue_entity(task delayed): task=hackbench pid=1831 cfs_rq->throttled=0
[008] dN.2.: pick_task_fair: check_cfs_rq_runtime() throttled cfs_rq on CPU8
# CPU8 goes into newidle balance and releases the rq lock
...
# CPU15 on same LLC Domain is trying to wakeup hackbench(pid=1831)
[015] d..4.: psi_flags_change: psi: task state: task=1831:hackbench cpu=8 psi_flags=14 clear=0 set=4 final=14 # Splat (cfs_rq->throttled=1)
[015] d..4.: sched_wakeup: comm=hackbench pid=1831 prio=120 target_cpu=008 # Task has woken on a throttled hierarchy
[008] d..2.: sched_switch: prev_comm=hackbench prev_pid=1831 prev_prio=120 prev_state=S ==> ...
psi_dequeue() relies on psi_sched_switch() to set the correct PSI flags
for the blocked entity, however, with the introduction of DELAY_DEQUEUE,
the block task can wakeup when newidle balance drops the runqueue lock
during __schedule().
If a task wakes before psi_sched_switch() adjusts the PSI flags, skip
any modifications in psi_enqueue() which would still see the flags of a
running task and not a blocked one. Instead, rely on psi_sched_switch()
to do the right thing.
Since the status returned by try_to_block_task() may no longer be true
by the time schedule reaches psi_sched_switch(), check if the task is
blocked or not using a combination of task_on_rq_queued() and
p->se.sched_delayed checks.

When the PLACE_LAG scheduling feature is enabled and
dst_cfs_rq->nr_queued is greater than 1, if a task is
ineligible (lag < 0) on the source cpu runqueue, it will
also be ineligible when it is migrated to the destination
cpu runqueue. Because we will keep the original equivalent
lag of the task in place_entity(). So if the task was
ineligible before, it will still be ineligible after
migration.
So in sched_balance_rq(), we prioritize migrating eligible
tasks, and we soft-limit ineligible tasks, allowing them
to migrate only when nr_balance_failed is non-zero to
avoid load-balancing trying very hard to balance the load.
Below are some benchmark test results. From my test results,
this patch shows a slight improvement on hackbench.

It's highly unlikely that a panic is desired for these warnings, only a
stack trace is normally required to debug and resolve.
Thus, switch need_resched warnings to simply be a printk with an

Normally dequeue_entities() will continue to dequeue an empty group entity;
except DELAY_DEQUEUE changes things -- it retains empty entities such that they
might continue to compete and burn off some lag.
However, doing this results in update_cfs_group() re-computing the cgroup
weight 'slice' for an empty group, which it (rightly) figures isn't much at
all. This in turn means that the delayed entity is not competing at the
expected weight. Worse, the very low weight causes its lag to be inflated,
which combined with avg_vruntime() using scale_load_down(), leads to artifacts.
As such, don't adjust the weight for empty group entities and let them compete
at their original weight.

Delay accounting can now calculate the average delay of processes, detect
the overall system load, and also record the 'delay max' to identify
potential abnormal delays. However, 'delay min' can help us identify
another useful delay peak. By comparing the difference between 'delay
max' and 'delay min', we can understand the optimization space for
latency, providing a reference for the optimization of latency
performance.

Introduce the use cases of delay max, which can help quickly detect
potential abnormal delays in the system and record the types and specific
details of delay spikes.
Problem
========
Delay accounting can track the average delay of processes to show
system workload. However, when a process experiences a significant
delay, maybe a delay spike, which adversely affects performance,
getdelays can only display the average system delay over a period
of time. Yet, average delay is unhelpful for diagnosing delay peak.
It is not even possible to determine which type of delay has spiked,
as this information might be masked by the average delay.
Solution
=========
the 'delay max' can display delay peak since the system's startup,
which can record potential abnormal delays over time, including
the type of delay and the maximum delay. This is helpful for
quickly identifying crash caused by delay.
Use case
=========

sched_ext: switch class when preempted by higher priority scheduler
sched_ext: Replace rq_lock() to raw_spin_rq_lock() in scx_ops_bypass()
sched_ext: keep running prev when prev->scx.slice != 0
With the consolidation of put_prev_task/set_next_task(), see
commit 436f3eed5c ("sched: Combine the last put_prev_task() and the
first set_next_task()"), we are now skipping the transition between
these two functions when the previous and the next tasks are the same.
As a result, the scx idle state of a CPU is updated only when
transitioning to or from the idle thread. While this is generally
correct, it can lead to uneven and inefficient core utilization in
certain scenarios [1].
A typical scenario involves proactive wake-ups: scx_bpf_pick_idle_cpu()
selects and marks an idle CPU as busy, followed by a wake-up via
scx_bpf_kick_cpu(), without dispatching any tasks. In this case, the CPU
continues running the idle thread, returns to idle, but remains marked
as busy, preventing it from being selected again as an idle CPU (until a
task eventually runs on it and releases the CPU).
For example, running a workload that uses 20% of each CPU, combined with
an scx scheduler using proactive wake-ups, results in the following core
utilization:
CPU 0: 25.7%
CPU 1: 29.3%
CPU 2: 26.5%
CPU 3: 25.5%
CPU 4: 0.0%
CPU 5: 25.5%
CPU 6: 0.0%
CPU 7: 10.5%
To address this, refresh the idle state also in pick_task_idle(), during
idle-to-idle transitions, but only trigger ops.update_idle() on actual
state changes to prevent unnecessary updates to the scx scheduler and
maintain balanced state transitions.
With this change in place, the core utilization in the previous example
becomes the following:
CPU 0: 18.8%
CPU 1: 19.4%
CPU 2: 18.0%
CPU 3: 18.7%
CPU 4: 19.3%
CPU 5: 18.9%
CPU 6: 18.7%
CPU 7: 19.3%

Returns a high-performance monotonically non-decreasing clock for the current
CPU. The clock returned is in nanoseconds.
It provides the following properties:
1) High performance: Many BPF schedulers call bpf_ktime_get_ns() frequently
to account for execution time and track tasks' runtime properties.
Unfortunately, in some hardware platforms, bpf_ktime_get_ns() -- which
eventually reads a hardware timestamp counter -- is neither performant nor
scalable. scx_bpf_now() aims to provide a high-performance clock by
using the rq clock in the scheduler core whenever possible.
2) High enough resolution for the BPF scheduler use cases: In most BPF
scheduler use cases, the required clock resolution is lower than the most
accurate hardware clock (e.g., rdtsc in x86). scx_bpf_now() basically
uses the rq clock in the scheduler core whenever it is valid. It considers
that the rq clock is valid from the time the rq clock is updated
(update_rq_clock) until the rq is unlocked (rq_unpin_lock).
3) Monotonically non-decreasing clock for the same CPU: scx_bpf_now()
guarantees the clock never goes backward when comparing them in the same
CPU. On the other hand, when comparing clocks in different CPUs, there
is no such guarantee -- the clock can go backward. It provides a
monotonically *non-decreasing* clock so that it would provide the same
clock values in two different scx_bpf_now() calls in the same CPU
during the same period of when the rq clock is valid.
An rq clock becomes valid when it is updated using update_rq_clock()
and invalidated when the rq is unlocked using rq_unpin_lock().
Let's suppose the following timeline in the scheduler core:
T1. rq_lock(rq)
T2. update_rq_clock(rq)
T3. a sched_ext BPF operation
T4. rq_unlock(rq)
T5. a sched_ext BPF operation
T6. rq_lock(rq)
T7. update_rq_clock(rq)
For [T2, T4), we consider that rq clock is valid (SCX_RQ_CLK_VALID is
set), so scx_bpf_now() calls during [T2, T4) (including T3) will
return the rq clock updated at T2. For duration [T4, T7), when a BPF
scheduler can still call scx_bpf_now() (T5), we consider the rq clock
is invalid (SCX_RQ_CLK_VALID is unset at T4). So when calling
scx_bpf_now() at T5, we will return a fresh clock value by calling
sched_clock_cpu() internally. Also, to prevent getting outdated rq clocks
from a previous scx scheduler, invalidate all the rq clocks when unloading
a BPF scheduler.
One example of calling scx_bpf_now(), when the rq clock is invalid
(like T5), is in scx_central [1]. The scx_central scheduler uses a BPF
timer for preemptive scheduling. In every msec, the timer callback checks
if the currently running tasks exceed their timeslice. At the beginning of
the BPF timer callback (central_timerfn in scx_central.bpf.c), scx_central
gets the current time. When the BPF timer callback runs, the rq clock could
be invalid, the same as T5. In this case, scx_bpf_now() returns a fresh
clock value rather than returning the old one (T2).

I noticed this in my traces today:
turbostat-1222 [006] d..2. 311.935649: reweight_entity: (ffff888108f13e00-ffff88885ef38440-6)

Which is a weight transition: 1048576 -> 2 -> 1048576.
One would expect the lag to shoot out *AND* come back, notably:
-1123*1048576/2 = -588775424
-588775424*2/1048576 = -1123
Except the trace shows it is all off. Worse, subsequent cycles shoot it
out further and further.
This made me have a very hard look at reweight_entity(), and
specifically the ->on_rq case, which is more prominent with
DELAY_DEQUEUE.
And indeed, it is all sorts of broken. While the computation of the new
lag is correct, the computation for the new vruntime, using the new lag
is broken for it does not consider the logic set out in place_entity().
With the below patch, I now see things like:
migration/12-55 [012] d..3. 309.006650: reweight_entity: (ffff8881e0e6f600-ffff88885f235f40-12)

Which isn't perfect yet, but much closer.

kthread_create() creates a kthread without running it yet. kthread_run()
creates a kthread and runs it.
On the other hand, kthread_create_worker() creates a kthread worker and
runs it.
This difference in behaviours is confusing. Also there is no way to
create a kthread worker and affine it using kthread_bind_mask() or
kthread_affine_preferred() before starting it.
Consolidate the behaviours and introduce kthread_run_worker[_on_cpu]()
that behaves just like kthread_run(). kthread_create_worker[_on_cpu]()
will now only create a kthread worker without starting it.

When a kthread or any other task has an affinity mask that is fully
offline or unallowed, the scheduler reaffines the task to all possible
CPUs as a last resort.
This default decision doesn't mix up very well with nohz_full CPUs that
are part of the possible cpumask but don't want to be disturbed by
unbound kthreads or even detached pinned user tasks.
Make the fallback affinity setting aware of nohz_full.

scx_ops_bypass() iterates all CPUs to re-enqueue all the scx tasks.
For each CPU, it acquires a lock using rq_lock() regardless of whether
a CPU is offline or the CPU is currently running a task in a higher
scheduler class (e.g., deadline). The rq_lock() is supposed to be used
for online CPUs, and the use of rq_lock() may trigger an unnecessary
warning in rq_pin_lock(). Therefore, replace rq_lock() to
raw_spin_rq_lock() in scx_ops_bypass().
Without this change, we observe the following warning:

Replace the loop to check if all SMT CPUs are idle with
cpumask_subset(). This simplifies the code and slightly improves
efficiency, while preserving the original behavior.
Note that idle_masks.smt handling remains racy, which is acceptable as
it serves as an optimization and is self-correcting.
