sched_ext generates warnings when cpu.weight / cpu.idle are set to
non-default values if the BPF scheduler doesn't implement weight support.
These warnings don't provide much value while adding constant annoyance. A
BPF scheduler may not implement any particular behavior and there's nothing
particularly special about missing cgroup weight support. Drop the warnings.

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;
}
Results
=======
Load distribution on a 4 sockets, 4 cores per socket system, simulated
using virtme-ng, running a modified version of scx_bpfland that uses
scx_bpf_select_cpu_and() with 0xff00 as the allowed subset of CPUs:
$ vng --cpu 16,sockets=4,cores=4,threads=1
...
$ stress-ng -c 16
...
$ htop

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 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.

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

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

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.

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.
- Remove READ_ONCE() for rdp->gpwrap access in __note_gp_changes().
- Fix get_state_synchronize_rcu_full() GP-start detection.
- Move RCU Tasks self-tests to core_initcall().
- Print segment lengths in show_rcu_nocb_gp_state().
- Make RCU watch ct_kernel_exit_state() warning.
- Flush console log from kernel_power_off().
- rcutorture: Allow a negative value for nfakewriters.
- rcu: Update TREE05.boot to test normal synchronize_rcu().
- rcu: Use _full() API to debug synchronize_rcu().
lazypreempt.2025.03.04a: Make RCU handle PREEMPT_LAZY better:
- Fix header guard for rcu_all_qs().
- rcu: Rename PREEMPT_AUTO to PREEMPT_LAZY.
- Update __cond_resched comment about RCU quiescent states.
- Handle unstable rdp in rcu_read_unlock_strict().
- Handle quiescent states for PREEMPT_RCU=n, PREEMPT_COUNT=y.
- osnoise: Provide quiescent states.
- Adjust rcutorture with possible PREEMPT_RCU=n && PREEMPT_COUNT=y
combination.
- Limit PREEMPT_RCU configurations.
- Make rcutorture senario TREE07 and senario TREE10 use PREEMPT_LAZY=y.

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

simultaneously. That means that everyone who tried to add that piece of

first.

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

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.

The sched_clock_irqtime was defined as a static key in:

However, this change introduces a 'sleeping in atomic context' warning:

warn: sleeping in atomic context
As analyzed by Dan, the affected code path is as follows:
vcpu_load() <- disables preempt

248 static_key_disable_cpuslocked(key);
249 cpus_read_unlock();

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.

"Prevent cond_resched() based preemption when interrupts are disabled,

* tag 'sched-urgent-2025-02-28' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/tip/tip:
sched/core: Prevent rescheduling when interrupts are disabled
David reported a warning observed while loop testing kexec jump:
Interrupts enabled after irqrouter_resume+0x0/0x50
WARNING: CPU: 0 PID: 560 at drivers/base/syscore.c:103 syscore_resume+0x18a/0x220
kernel_kexec+0xf6/0x180
__do_sys_reboot+0x206/0x250
do_syscall_64+0x95/0x180
The corresponding interrupt flag trace:
hardirqs last enabled at (15573): [<ffffffffa8281b8e>] __up_console_sem+0x7e/0x90
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:
__cond_resched+0x21/0x60
down_timeout+0x18/0x60
acpi_os_wait_semaphore+0x4c/0x80
acpi_ut_acquire_mutex+0x3d/0x100

kernel_kexec+0x145/0x1c0
__do_sys_reboot+0xeb/0x240
do_syscall_64+0x95/0x180
This is a long standing problem, which probably got more visible with
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.

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.

- Clarify what happens when a task is woken up from the wake queue and

* tag 'sched_urgent_for_v6.14_rc3' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/tip/tip:
sched: Clarify wake_up_q()'s write to task->wake_q.next
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

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 moving the counting into task_can_run_on_remote_rq() which is

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.

tasks have been enqueued (or pick_task-ed or select_cpu-ed) with

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

Add the const qualifier to all the ctl_tables in the tree except for
watchdog_hardlockup_sysctl, memory_allocation_profiling_sysctls,
loadpin_sysctl_table and the ones calling register_net_sysctl (./net,
drivers/inifiniband dirs). These are special cases as they use a
registration function with a non-const qualified ctl_table argument or
modify the arrays before passing them on to the registration function.
Constifying ctl_table structs will prevent the modification of
proc_handler function pointers as the arrays would reside in .rodata.
This is made possible after commit 78eb4ea25c ("sysctl: treewide:
constify the ctl_table argument of proc_handlers") constified all the
proc_handlers.

As ext.c is becoming quite large, move the idle CPU selection policy to
separate files (ext_idle.c / ext_idle.h) for better code readability.
Moreover, group together all the idle CPU selection kfunc's to the same
btf_kfunc_id_set block.
No functional changes, this is purely code reorganization.

While performing the rq locking dance in dispatch_to_local_dsq(), we may
trigger the following lock imbalance condition, in particular when
multiple tasks are rapidly changing CPU affinity (i.e., running a
`stress-ng --race-sched 0`):
[ 13.413579] =====================================
[ 13.413660] WARNING: bad unlock balance detected!

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

Call Trace:

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().

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
in struct rq to avoid reading TSC multiple times within a locked
scheduling operation.
- Minor updates to the built-in idle CPU selection logic.
- tool/sched_ext updates and other misc changes.
Pulling sched_ext/for-6.14 into master causes a merge conflict between the
following two commits (first commit in master, second in for-6.14):
a2a3374c47 sched_ext: idle: Refresh idle masks during idle-to-idle transitions
9cf9aceed2 sched_ext: idle: use assign_cpu() to update the idle cpumask
static void update_builtin_idle(int cpu, bool idle)

int cpu = cpu_of(rq);
if (SCX_HAS_OP(update_idle) && !scx_rq_bypassing(rq)) {
SCX_CALL_OP(SCX_KF_REST, update_idle, cpu_of(rq), idle);
if (!static_branch_unlikely(&scx_builtin_idle_enabled))
return;
}
assign_cpu(cpu, idle_masks.cpu, idle);
>>>>>>> 987ce79b52
The first commit factored out update_builtin_idle() and the second replaced
cpumask_set/clear_cpu() calls with assign_cpu(). The conflict can be
resolved by taking the code from the first and then replacing the
cpumask_set/clear_cpu() calls with assign_cpu():
static void update_builtin_idle(int cpu, bool idle)
{
assign_cpu(cpu, idle_masks.cpu, idle);

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).

"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.

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

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.
Benchmark
=========
All of the benchmarks are done inside a normal cpu cgroup in a
clean environment with cpu turbo disabled, and test machine is:
Single NUMA machine model is 13th Gen Intel(R) Core(TM)

Based on master b86545e02e.

need_resched warnings, if enabled, are treated as WARNINGs. If
kernel.panic_on_warn is enabled, then this causes a kernel panic.
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
associated stack trace so they are no longer in scope for panic_on_warn.

In this race window, yield_to() is operating the task w/o the correct

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
=========

Merge tag 'sched_ext-for-6.13-rc6-fixes' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/tj/sched_ext
Pull sched_ext fixes from Tejun Heo:
- Fix corner case bug where ops.dispatch() couldn't extend the
execution of the current task if SCX_OPS_ENQ_LAST is set.
- Fix ops.cpu_release() not being called when a SCX task is preempted
by a higher priority sched class task.
- Fix buitin idle mask being incorrectly left as busy after an idle CPU
is picked and kicked.
- scx_ops_bypass() was unnecessarily using rq_lock() which comes with
rq pinning related sanity checks which could trigger spuriously.
Switch to raw_spin_rq_lock().
* tag 'sched_ext-for-6.13-rc6-fixes' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/tj/sched_ext:
sched_ext: idle: Refresh idle masks during idle-to-idle transitions
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).

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:

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]()

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().

A redundant frequency update is only truly needed when there is a policy
limits change with a driver that specifies CPUFREQ_NEED_UPDATE_LIMITS.
In spite of that, drivers specifying CPUFREQ_NEED_UPDATE_LIMITS receive a
frequency update _all the time_, not just for a policy limits change,
because need_freq_update is never cleared.
Furthermore, ignore_dl_rate_limit()'s usage of need_freq_update also leads
to a redundant frequency update, regardless of whether or not the driver
specifies CPUFREQ_NEED_UPDATE_LIMITS, when the next chosen frequency is the
same as the current one.
Fix the superfluous updates by only honoring CPUFREQ_NEED_UPDATE_LIMITS
when there's a policy limits change, and clearing need_freq_update when a
requisite redundant update occurs.
This is neatly achieved by moving up the CPUFREQ_NEED_UPDATE_LIMITS test
and instead setting need_freq_update to false in sugov_update_next_freq().

throttled processes are unintentionally being unthrottled across all CPUs
in the system, allowing them to exceed their assigned quota limits.
Consider below for an example,
Assigning 6.25% bandwidth limit to a cgroup
in a 8 CPU system, where, workload is running 8 threads for 20 seconds at
100% CPU utilization, expected (user+sys) time = 10 seconds.
$ cat /sys/fs/cgroup/test/cpu.max
50000 100000
$ ./ebizzy -t 8 -S 20 // non-hotplug case
real 20.00 s
user 10.81 s // intended behaviour
sys 0.00 s
$ ./ebizzy -t 8 -S 20 // hotplug case
real 20.00 s
user 14.43 s // Workload is able to run for 14 secs
sys 0.00 s // when it should have only run for 10 secs
During CPU hotplug, scheduler domains are rebuilt and cpu_attach_domain
is called for every active CPU to update the root domain. That ends up
calling rq_offline_fair which un-throttles any throttled hierarchies.
Unthrottling should only occur for the CPU being hotplugged to allow its
throttled processes to become runnable and get migrated to other CPUs.
With current patch applied,
$ ./ebizzy -t 8 -S 20 // hotplug case
real 21.00 s
user 10.16 s // intended behaviour
sys 0.00 s
This also has another symptom, when a CPU goes offline, and if the cfs_rq
is not in throttled state and the runtime_remaining still had plenty
remaining, it gets reset to 1 here, causing the runtime_remaining of
cfs_rq to be quickly depleted.
Note: hotplug operation (online, offline) was performed in while(1) loop

dlserver time is accounted when:
- dlserver is active and the dlserver proxies the cfs task.
- dlserver is active but deferred and cfs task runs after being picked
through the normal fair class pick.
dl_server_update is called in two places to make sure that both the
above times are accounted for. But it doesn't check if dlserver is
active or not. Now that we have this dl_server_active flag, we can
consolidate dl_server_update into one place and all we need to check is
whether dlserver is active or not. When dlserver is active there is only
two possible conditions:
- dlserver is deferred.
- cfs task is running on behalf of dlserver.

dlserver can get dequeued during a dlserver pick_task due to the delayed
deueue feature and this can lead to issues with dlserver logic as it
still thinks that dlserver is on the runqueue. The dlserver throttling
and replenish logic gets confused and can lead to double enqueue of
dlserver.
Double enqueue of dlserver could happend due to couple of reasons:
Case 1
------
Delayed dequeue feature[1] can cause dlserver being stopped during a
pick initiated by dlserver:
__pick_next_task
pick_task_dl -> server_pick_task
pick_task_fair
pick_next_entity (if (sched_delayed))
dequeue_entities
dl_server_stop
server_pick_task goes ahead with update_curr_dl_se without knowing that
dlserver is dequeued and this confuses the logic and may lead to
unintended enqueue while the server is stopped.
Case 2
------
A race condition between a task dequeue on one cpu and same task's enqueue
on this cpu by a remote cpu while the lock is released causing dlserver
double enqueue.
One cpu would be in the schedule() and releasing RQ-lock:
current->state = TASK_INTERRUPTIBLE();
schedule();
deactivate_task()
dl_stop_server();
pick_next_task()
pick_next_task_fair()
sched_balance_newidle()
rq_unlock(this_rq)
at which point another CPU can take our RQ-lock and do:
try_to_wake_up()
ttwu_queue()
rq_lock()
...
activate_task()
dl_server_start() --> first enqueue
wakeup_preempt() := check_preempt_wakeup_fair()
update_curr()
update_curr_task()
if (current->dl_server)
dl_server_update()
enqueue_dl_entity() --> second enqueue
This bug was not apparent as the enqueue in dl_server_start doesn't
usually happen because of the defer logic. But as a side effect of the
first case(dequeue during dlserver pick), dl_throttled and dl_yield will
be set and this causes the time accounting of dlserver to messup and
then leading to a enqueue in dl_server_start.
Have an explicit flag representing the status of dlserver to avoid the
confusion. This is set in dl_server_start and reset in dlserver_stop.

This issue can be consistently reproduced on three different servers:
* a 448-core server
* a 256-core server
* a 192-core server
[Root Cause]
Since multiple threads are created by the hackbench program (along with
the command argument 'thread'), a shared vma might be accessed by two or
more cores simultaneously. When two or more cores observe that
vma->numab_state is NULL at the same time, vma->numab_state will be
overwritten.
Although current code ensures that only one thread scans the VMAs in a
single 'numa_scan_period', there might be a chance for another thread
to enter in the next 'numa_scan_period' while we have not gotten till
numab_state allocation [1].
Note that the command `/opt/ltp/testcases/bin/hackbench 50 process 1000`
cannot the reproduce the issue. It is verified with 200+ test runs.
[Solution]
Use the cmpxchg atomic operation to ensure that only one thread executes
the vma->numab_state assignment.

The housekeeping cpumasks are only set by two boot commandline
parameters: "nohz_full" and "isolcpus". When there is more than one of
"nohz_full" or "isolcpus", the extra ones must have the same CPU list
or the setup will fail partially.
The HK_TYPE_DOMAIN and HK_TYPE_MANAGED_IRQ types are settable by
"isolcpus" only and their settings can be independent of the other
types. The other housekeeping types are all set by "nohz_full" or
"isolcpus=nohz" without a way to set them individually. So they all
have identical cpumasks.
There is actually no point in having different cpumasks for these
"nohz_full" only housekeeping types. Consolidate these types to use the
same cpumask by aliasing them to the same value. If there is a need to
set any of them independently in the future, we can break them out to
their own cpumasks again.
With this change, the number of cpumasks in the housekeeping structure
drops from 9 to 3. Other than that, there should be no other functional
change.

The "isolcpus=nohz" boot parameter and flag were used to disable tick

as it is included as part of the "nohz_full" parameter. Extend this
flag to cover other kernel noises disabled by the "nohz_full" parameter

After commit b58652db66 ("sched/deadline: Fix task_struct reference
leak"), I identified additional calls to hrtimer_try_to_cancel that
might also require a dl_server check. It remains unclear whether this
omission was intentional or accidental in those contexts.
This patch consolidates the timer cancellation logic into dedicated
functions, ensuring consistent behavior across all calls.
Additionally, it reduces code duplication and improves overall code
cleanliness.
Note the use of the __always_inline keyword. In some instances, we
have a task_struct pointer, dereference the dl member, and then use
the container_of macro to retrieve the task_struct pointer again. By
inlining the code, the compiler can potentially optimize out this
redundant round trip.

Currently we check for bandwidth overflow potentially due to hotplug
operations at the end of sched_cpu_deactivate(), after the cpu going
offline has already been removed from scheduling, active_mask, etc.
This can create issues for DEADLINE tasks, as there is a substantial
race window between the start of sched_cpu_deactivate() and the moment
we possibly decide to roll-back the operation if dl_bw_deactivate()
returns failure in cpuset_cpu_inactive(). An example is a throttled
task that sees its replenishment timer firing while the cpu it was
previously running on is considered offline, but before
dl_bw_deactivate() had a chance to say no and roll-back happened.
Fix this by directly calling dl_bw_deactivate() first thing in
sched_cpu_deactivate() and do the required calculation in the former
function considering the cpu passed as an argument as offline already.
By doing so we also simplify sched_cpu_deactivate(), as there is no need
anymore for any kind of roll-back if we fail early.

For hotplug operations, DEADLINE needs to check that there is still enough
bandwidth left after removing the CPU that is going offline. We however
fail to do so currently.
Restore the correct behavior by restructuring dl_bw_manage() a bit, so
that overflow conditions (not enough bandwidth left) are properly
checked. Also account for dl_server bandwidth, i.e. discount such
bandwidth in the calculation since NORMAL tasks will be anyway moved
away from the CPU as a result of the hotplug operation.

When root domain non-destructive changes (e.g., only modifying one of
the existing root domains while the rest is not touched) happen we still
need to clear DEADLINE bandwidth accounting so that it's then properly
restored, taking into account DEADLINE tasks associated to each cpuset
(associated to each root domain). After the introduction of dl_servers,
we fail to restore such servers contribution after non-destructive
changes (as they are only considered on destructive changes when
runqueues are attached to the new domains).
Fix this by making sure we iterate over the dl_servers attached to
domains that have not been destroyed and add their bandwidth
contribution back correctly.

When steal time exceeds the measured delta when updating clock_task, we
currently try to catch up the excess in future updates.
However, this results in inaccurate run times for the future things using
clock_task, in some situations, as they end up getting additional steal
time that did not actually happen.
This is because there is a window between reading the elapsed time in
update_rq_clock() and sampling the steal time in update_rq_clock_task().
If the VCPU gets preempted between those two points, any additional
steal time is accounted to the outgoing task even though the calculated
delta did not actually contain any of that "stolen" time.
When this race happens, we can end up with steal time that exceeds the
calculated delta, and the previous code would try to catch up that excess
steal time in future clock updates, which is given to the next,
incoming task, even though it did not actually have any time stolen.
This behavior is particularly bad when steal time can be very long,
which we've seen when trying to extend steal time to contain the duration
that the host was suspended [0]. When this happens, clock_task stays
frozen, during which the running task stays running for the whole
duration, since its run time doesn't increase.
However the race can happen even under normal operation.
Ideally we would read the elapsed cpu time and the steal time atomically,
to prevent this race from happening in the first place, but doing so
is non-trivial.
Since the time between those two points isn't otherwise accounted anywhere,
neither to the outgoing task nor the incoming task (because the "end of
outgoing task" and "start of incoming task" timestamps are the same),
I would argue that the right thing to do is to simply drop any excess steal
time, in order to prevent these issues.

Scheduler raises a SCHED_SOFTIRQ to trigger a load balancing event on
from the IPI handler on the idle CPU. If the SMP function is invoked
from an idle CPU via flush_smp_call_function_queue() then the HARD-IRQ
flag is not set and raise_softirq_irqoff() needlessly wakes ksoftirqd
because soft interrupts are handled before ksoftirqd get on the CPU.
Adding a trace_printk() in nohz_csd_func() at the spot of raising
SCHED_SOFTIRQ and enabling trace events for sched_switch, sched_wakeup,
and softirq_entry (for SCHED_SOFTIRQ vector alone) helps observing the
current behavior:
<idle>-0 [000] dN.1.: nohz_csd_func: Raising SCHED_SOFTIRQ from nohz_csd_func
<idle>-0 [000] dN.4.: sched_wakeup: comm=ksoftirqd/0 pid=16 prio=120 target_cpu=000
<idle>-0 [000] .Ns1.: softirq_entry: vec=7 [action=SCHED]
<idle>-0 [000] .Ns1.: softirq_exit: vec=7 [action=SCHED]
<idle>-0 [000] d..2.: sched_switch: prev_comm=swapper/0 prev_pid=0 prev_prio=120 prev_state=R ==> next_comm=ksoftirqd/0 next_pid=16 next_prio=120
ksoftirqd/0-16 [000] d..2.: sched_switch: prev_comm=ksoftirqd/0 prev_pid=16 prev_prio=120 prev_state=S ==> next_comm=swapper/0 next_pid=0 next_prio=120
...
Use __raise_softirq_irqoff() to raise the softirq. The SMP function call
is always invoked on the requested CPU in an interrupt handler. It is
guaranteed that soft interrupts are handled at the end.
Following are the observations with the changes when enabling the same
set of events:
<idle>-0 [000] dN.1.: nohz_csd_func: Raising SCHED_SOFTIRQ for nohz_idle_balance
<idle>-0 [000] dN.1.: softirq_raise: vec=7 [action=SCHED]
<idle>-0 [000] .Ns1.: softirq_entry: vec=7 [action=SCHED]
No unnecessary ksoftirqd wakeups are seen from idle task's context to
service the softirq.

Commit b2a02fc43a ("smp: Optimize send_call_function_single_ipi()")
optimizes IPIs to idle CPUs in TIF_POLLING_NRFLAG mode by setting the
TIF_NEED_RESCHED flag in idle task's thread info and relying on
flush_smp_call_function_queue() in idle exit path to run the
call-function. A softirq raised by the call-function is handled shortly
after in do_softirq_post_smp_call_flush() but the TIF_NEED_RESCHED flag
remains set and is only cleared later when schedule_idle() calls
__schedule().
need_resched() check in _nohz_idle_balance() exists to bail out of load
balancing if another task has woken up on the CPU currently in-charge of
idle load balancing which is being processed in SCHED_SOFTIRQ context.
Since the optimization mentioned above overloads the interpretation of
TIF_NEED_RESCHED, check for idle_cpu() before going with the existing
need_resched() check which can catch a genuine task wakeup on an idle
CPU processing SCHED_SOFTIRQ from do_softirq_post_smp_call_flush(), as
well as the case where ksoftirqd needs to be preempted as a result of
new task wakeup or slice expiry.
In case of PREEMPT_RT or threadirqs, although the idle load balancing
may be inhibited in some cases on the ilb CPU, the fact that ksoftirqd
is the only fair task going back to sleep will trigger a newidle balance
on the CPU which will alleviate some imbalance if it exists if idle
balance fails to do so.

The need_resched() check currently in nohz_csd_func() can be tracked
to have been added in scheduler_ipi() back in 2011 via commit
ca38062e57 ("sched: Use resched IPI to kick off the nohz idle balance")
Since then, it has travelled quite a bit but it seems like an idle_cpu()
check currently is sufficient to detect the need to bail out from an
idle load balancing. To justify this removal, consider all the following
case where an idle load balancing could race with a task wakeup:
o Since commit f3dd3f6745 ("sched: Remove the limitation of WF_ON_CPU
on wakelist if wakee cpu is idle") a target perceived to be idle
(target_rq->nr_running == 0) will return true for
ttwu_queue_cond(target) which will offload the task wakeup to the idle
target via an IPI.
In all such cases target_rq->ttwu_pending will be set to 1 before
queuing the wake function.
If an idle load balance races here, following scenarios are possible:
- The CPU is not in TIF_POLLING_NRFLAG mode in which case an actual
IPI is sent to the CPU to wake it out of idle. If the
nohz_csd_func() queues before sched_ttwu_pending(), the idle load
balance will bail out since idle_cpu(target) returns 0 since
target_rq->ttwu_pending is 1. If the nohz_csd_func() is queued after
sched_ttwu_pending() it should see rq->nr_running to be non-zero and
bail out of idle load balancing.
- The CPU is in TIF_POLLING_NRFLAG mode and instead of an actual IPI,
the sender will simply set TIF_NEED_RESCHED for the target to put it
out of idle and flush_smp_call_function_queue() in do_idle() will
execute the call function. Depending on the ordering of the queuing
of nohz_csd_func() and sched_ttwu_pending(), the idle_cpu() check in
nohz_csd_func() should either see target_rq->ttwu_pending = 1 or
target_rq->nr_running to be non-zero if there is a genuine task
wakeup racing with the idle load balance kick.
o The waker CPU perceives the target CPU to be busy
(targer_rq->nr_running != 0) but the CPU is in fact going idle and due
to a series of unfortunate events, the system reaches a case where the
waker CPU decides to perform the wakeup by itself in ttwu_queue() on
the target CPU but target is concurrently selected for idle load
balance (XXX: Can this happen? I'm not sure, but we'll consider the
mother of all coincidences to estimate the worst case scenario).
ttwu_do_activate() calls enqueue_task() which would increment
"rq->nr_running" post which it calls wakeup_preempt() which is
responsible for setting TIF_NEED_RESCHED (via a resched IPI or by
setting TIF_NEED_RESCHED on a TIF_POLLING_NRFLAG idle CPU) The key
thing to note in this case is that rq->nr_running is already non-zero
in case of a wakeup before TIF_NEED_RESCHED is set which would
lead to idle_cpu() check returning false.
In all cases, it seems that need_resched() check is unnecessary when
checking for idle_cpu() first since an impending wakeup racing with idle
load balancer will either set the "rq->ttwu_pending" or indicate a newly
woken task via "rq->nr_running".
Chasing the reason why this check might have existed in the first place,
I came across Peter's suggestion on the fist iteration of Suresh's
patch from 2011 [1] where the condition to raise the SCHED_SOFTIRQ was:
sched_ttwu_do_pending(list);
if (unlikely((rq->idle == current) &&
rq->nohz_balance_kick &&
!need_resched()))
raise_softirq_irqoff(SCHED_SOFTIRQ);
Since the condition to raise the SCHED_SOFIRQ was preceded by
sched_ttwu_do_pending() (which is equivalent of sched_ttwu_pending()) in
the current upstream kernel, the need_resched() check was necessary to
catch a newly queued task. Peter suggested modifying it to:
if (idle_cpu() && rq->nohz_balance_kick && !need_resched())
raise_softirq_irqoff(SCHED_SOFTIRQ);
where idle_cpu() seems to have replaced "rq->idle == current" check.
Even back then, the idle_cpu() check would have been sufficient to catch
a new task being enqueued. Since commit b2a02fc43a ("smp: Optimize
send_call_function_single_ipi()") overloads the interpretation of
TIF_NEED_RESCHED for TIF_POLLING_NRFLAG idling, remove the
need_resched() check in nohz_csd_func() to raise SCHED_SOFTIRQ based
on Peter's suggestion.

Commit 8f9ea86fdf added some logic to sched_setaffinity that included
a WARN when a per-task affinity assignment races with a cpuset update.
Specifically, we can have a race where a cpuset update results in the
task affinity no longer being a subset of the cpuset. That's fine; we
have a fallback to instead use the cpuset mask. However, we have a WARN
set up that will trigger if the cpuset mask has no overlap at all with
the requested task affinity. This shouldn't be a warning condition; its
trivial to create this condition.
Reproduced the warning by the following setup:
- $PID inside a cpuset cgroup
- another thread repeatedly switching the cpuset cpus from 1-2 to just 1
- another thread repeatedly setting the $PID affinity (via taskset) to 2

- Improve the default select_cpu() implementation making it topology aware
and handle WAKE_SYNC better.
- set_arg_maybe_null() was used to inform the verifier which ops args could
be NULL in a rather hackish way. Use the new __nullable CFI stub tags
instead.
- On Sapphire Rapids multi-socket systems, a BPF scheduler, by hammering on
the same queue across sockets, could live-lock the system to the point
where the system couldn't make reasonable forward progress. This could
lead to soft-lockup triggered resets or stalling out bypass mode switch
and thus BPF scheduler ejection for tens of minutes if not hours. After
trying a number of mitigations, the following set worked reliably:
- Injecting artificial cpu_relax() loops in two places while sched_ext is
trying to turn on the bypass mode.
- Triggering scheduler ejection when soft-lockup detection is imminent (a
quarter of threshold left).
While not the prettiest, the impact both in terms of code complexity and
overhead is minimal.
- A common complaint on the API is the overuse of the word "dispatch" and
the confusion around "consume". This is due to how the dispatch queues
became more generic over time. Rename the affected kfuncs for clarity.
Thanks to BPF's compatibility features, this change can be made in a way
that's both forward and backward compatible. The compatibility code will
be dropped in a few releases.
- Pull sched_ext/for-6.12-fixes to receive a prerequisite change. Other misc

Merge tag 'sched_ext-for-6.13' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/tj/sched_ext
Pull sched_ext updates from Tejun Heo:
- Improve the default select_cpu() implementation making it topology
aware and handle WAKE_SYNC better.
- set_arg_maybe_null() was used to inform the verifier which ops args
could be NULL in a rather hackish way. Use the new __nullable CFI
stub tags instead.
- On Sapphire Rapids multi-socket systems, a BPF scheduler, by
hammering on the same queue across sockets, could live-lock the
system to the point where the system couldn't make reasonable forward
progress.
This could lead to soft-lockup triggered resets or stalling out
bypass mode switch and thus BPF scheduler ejection for tens of
minutes if not hours. After trying a number of mitigations, the
following set worked reliably:
- Injecting artificial cpu_relax() loops in two places while
sched_ext is trying to turn on the bypass mode.
- Triggering scheduler ejection when soft-lockup detection is
imminent (a quarter of threshold left).
While not the prettiest, the impact both in terms of code complexity
and overhead is minimal.
- A common complaint on the API is the overuse of the word "dispatch"
and the confusion around "consume". This is due to how the dispatch
queues became more generic over time. Rename the affected kfuncs for
clarity. Thanks to BPF's compatibility features, this change can be
made in a way that's both forward and backward compatible. The
compatibility code will be dropped in a few releases.

- The final step to get rid of auto-rearming posix-timers
posix-timers are currently auto-rearmed by the kernel when the signal
of the timer is ignored so that the timer signal can be delivered once
the corresponding signal is unignored.
This requires to throttle the timer to prevent a DoS by small intervals
and keeps the system pointlessly out of low power states for no value.
This is a long standing non-trivial problem due to the lock order of
posix-timer lock and the sighand lock along with life time issues as
the timer and the sigqueue have different life time rules.
Cure this by:
* Embedding the sigqueue into the timer struct to have the same life
time rules. Aside of that this also avoids the lookup of the timer
in the signal delivery and rearm path as it's just a always valid
container_of() now.
* Queuing ignored timer signals onto a seperate ignored list.
* Moving queued timer signals onto the ignored list when the signal is
switched to SIG_IGN before it could be delivered.
* Walking the ignored list when SIG_IGN is lifted and requeue the
signals to the actual signal lists. This allows the signal delivery
code to rearm the timer.
This also required to consolidate the signal delivery rules so they are
consistent across all situations. With that all self test scenarios
finally succeed.
- Core infrastructure for VFS multigrain timestamping
This is required to allow the kernel to use coarse grained time stamps
by default and switch to fine grained time stamps when inode attributes
are actively observed via getattr().
These changes have been provided to the VFS tree as well, so that the
VFS specific infrastructure could be built on top.
- Cleanup and consolidation of the sleep() infrastructure
* Move all sleep and timeout functions into one file
* Rework udelay() and ndelay() into proper documented inline functions
and replace the hardcoded magic numbers by proper defines.
* Rework the fsleep() implementation to take the reality of the timer
wheel granularity on different HZ values into account. Right now the
boundaries are hard coded time ranges which fail to provide the
requested accuracy on different HZ settings.
* Update documentation for all sleep/timeout related functions and fix
up stale documentation links all over the place
* Fixup a few usage sites
- Rework of timekeeping and adjtimex(2) to prepare for multiple PTP clocks
A system can have multiple PTP clocks which are participating in
seperate and independent PTP clock domains. So far the kernel only
considers the PTP clock which is based on CLOCK TAI relevant as that's
the clock which drives the timekeeping adjustments via the various user
space daemons through adjtimex(2).
The non TAI based clock domains are accessible via the file descriptor
based posix clocks, but their usability is very limited. They can't be
accessed fast as they always go all the way out to the hardware and
they cannot be utilized in the kernel itself.
As Time Sensitive Networking (TSN) gains traction it is required to
provide fast user and kernel space access to these clocks.
The approach taken is to utilize the timekeeping and adjtimex(2)
infrastructure to provide this access in a similar way how the kernel
provides access to clock MONOTONIC, REALTIME etc.
Instead of creating a duplicated infrastructure this rework converts
timekeeping and adjtimex(2) into generic functionality which operates
on pointers to data structures instead of using static variables.
This allows to provide time accessors and adjtimex(2) functionality for
the independent PTP clocks in a subsequent step.
- Consolidate hrtimer initialization
hrtimers are set up by initializing the data structure and then
seperately setting the callback function for historical reasons.
That's an extra unnecessary step and makes Rust support less straight
forward than it should be.
Provide a new set of hrtimer_setup*() functions and convert the core
code and a few usage sites of the less frequently used interfaces over.
The bulk of the htimer_init() to hrtimer_setup() conversion is already
prepared and scheduled for the next merge window.
- Drivers:
* Ensure that the global timekeeping clocksource is utilizing the
cluster 0 timer on MIPS multi-cluster systems.
Otherwise CPUs on different clusters use their cluster specific
clocksource which is not guaranteed to be synchronized with other
clusters.
* Mostly boring cleanups, fixes, improvements and code movement

- The fair sched class currently has a bug where its balance() returns true
telling the sched core that it has tasks to run but then NULL from
pick_task(). This makes sched core call sched_ext's pick_task() without
preceding balance() which can lead to stalls in partial mode. For now,
work around by detecting the condition and forcing the CPU to go through
another scheduling cycle.
- Add a missing newline to an error message and fix drgn introspection tool
which went out of sync.

Pull sched_ext fixes from Tejun Heo:
- The fair sched class currently has a bug where its balance() returns
true telling the sched core that it has tasks to run but then NULL
from pick_task(). This makes sched core call sched_ext's pick_task()
without preceding balance() which can lead to stalls in partial mode.
For now, work around by detecting the condition and forcing the CPU
to go through another scheduling cycle.
- Add a missing newline to an error message and fix drgn introspection
tool which went out of sync.

sched_ext: Handle cases where pick_task_scx() is called without preceding balance_scx()
sched_ext: Update scx_show_state.py to match scx_ops_bypass_depth's new type
sched_ext: Add a missing newline at the end of an error message
In sched_ext API, a repeatedly reported pain point is the overuse of the
verb "dispatch" and confusion around "consume":
- ops.dispatch()
- scx_bpf_dispatch[_vtime]()
- scx_bpf_consume()
- scx_bpf_dispatch[_vtime]_from_dsq*()
This overloading of the term is historical. Originally, there were only
built-in DSQs and moving a task into a DSQ always dispatched it for
execution. Using the verb "dispatch" for the kfuncs to move tasks into these
DSQs made sense.
Later, user DSQs were added and scx_bpf_dispatch[_vtime]() updated to be
able to insert tasks into any DSQ. The only allowed DSQ to DSQ transfer was
from a non-local DSQ to a local DSQ and this operation was named "consume".
This was already confusing as a task could be dispatched to a user DSQ from
ops.enqueue() and then the DSQ would have to be consumed in ops.dispatch().
Later addition of scx_bpf_dispatch_from_dsq*() made the confusion even worse
as "dispatch" in this context meant moving a task to an arbitrary DSQ from a
user DSQ.
Clean up the API with the following renames:
1. scx_bpf_dispatch[_vtime]() -> scx_bpf_dsq_insert[_vtime]()
2. scx_bpf_consume() -> scx_bpf_dsq_move_to_local()
3. scx_bpf_dispatch[_vtime]_from_dsq*() -> scx_bpf_dsq_move[_vtime]*()
This patch performs the third set of renames. Compatibility is maintained
by:
- The previous kfunc names are still provided by the kernel so that old
binaries can run. Kernel generates a warning when the old names are used.
- compat.bpf.h provides wrappers for the new names which automatically fall
back to the old names when running on older kernels. They also trigger
build error if old names are used for new builds.
- scx_bpf_dispatch[_vtime]_from_dsq*() were already wrapped in __COMPAT
macros as they were introduced during v6.12 cycle. Wrap new API in
__COMPAT macros too and trigger build errors on both __COMPAT prefixed and
naked usages of the old names.
The compat features will be dropped after v6.15.

sched_ext dispatches tasks from the BPF scheduler from balance_scx() and
thus every pick_task_scx() call must be preceded by balance_scx(). While
this usually holds, due to a bug, there are cases where the fair class's
balance() returns true indicating that it has tasks to run on the CPU and
thus terminating balance() calls but fails to actually find the next task to
run when pick_task() is called. In such cases, pick_task_scx() can be called
without preceding balance_scx().
Detect this condition using SCX_RQ_BAL_PENDING flags. If detected, keep
running the previous task if possible and avoid stalling from entering idle
without balancing.

On 2 x Intel Sapphire Rapids machines with 224 logical CPUs, a poorly
behaving BPF scheduler can live-lock the system by making multiple CPUs bang
on the same DSQ to the point where soft-lockup detection triggers before
SCX's own watchdog can take action. It also seems possible that the machine
can be live-locked enough to prevent scx_ops_helper, which is an RT task,
from running in a timely manner.
Implement scx_softlockup() which is called when three quarters of
soft-lockup threshold has passed. The function immediately enables the ops
breather and triggers an ops error to initiate ejection of the BPF
scheduler.
The previous and this patch combined enable the kernel to reliably recover
the system from live-lock conditions that can be triggered by a poorly
behaving BPF scheduler on Intel dual socket systems.

A poorly behaving BPF scheduler can live-lock the system by e.g. incessantly
banging on the same DSQ on a large NUMA system to the point where switching
to the bypass mode can take a long time. Turning on the bypass mode requires
dequeueing and re-enqueueing currently runnable tasks, if the DSQs that they
are on are live-locked, this can take tens of seconds cascading into other
failures. This was observed on 2 x Intel Sapphire Rapids machines with 224
logical CPUs.
Inject artifical delays while the bypass mode is switching to guarantee
timely completion.
While at it, move __scx_ops_bypass_lock into scx_ops_bypass() and rename it
to bypass_lock.

When the LLC and NUMA domains fully overlap, enabling both optimizations
in the built-in idle CPU selection policy is redundant, as it leads to
searching for an idle CPU within the same domain twice.
Likewise, if all online CPUs are within a single LLC domain, LLC
optimization is unnecessary.
Therefore, detect overlapping domains and enable topology optimizations
only when necessary.
Moreover, rely on the online CPUs for this detection logic, instead of
using the possible CPUs.

from the 'Preemption Model' choice. Strictly speaking PREEMPT_RT is

Change fair to use resched_curr_lazy(), which, when the lazy
preemption model is selected, will set TIF_NEED_RESCHED_LAZY.
This LAZY bit will be promoted to the full NEED_RESCHED bit on tick.
As such, the average delay between setting LAZY and actually
rescheduling will be TICK_NSEC/2.
In short, Lazy preemption will delay preemption for fair class but
will function as Full preemption for all the other classes, most
notably the realtime (RR/FIFO/DEADLINE) classes.
The goal is to bridge the performance gap with Voluntary, such that we
might eventually remove that option entirely.

Instead of solving the underlying problem of the double invocation of
__sched_fork() for idle tasks, sched-ext decided to hack around the issue
by partially clearing out the entity struct to preserve the already
enqueued node. A provided analysis and solution has been ignored for four
months.
Now that someone else has taken care of cleaning it up, remove the
disgusting hack and clear out the full structure. Remove the comment in the

Idle tasks are initialized via __sched_fork() twice:
fork_idle()
copy_process()
sched_fork()
__sched_fork()
init_idle()
__sched_fork()
Instead of cleaning this up, sched_ext hacked around it. Even when analyis
and solution were provided in a discussion, nobody cared to clean this up.
init_idle() is also invoked from sched_init() to initialize the boot CPU's
idle task, which requires the __sched_fork() invocation. But this can be
trivially solved by invoking __sched_fork() before init_idle() in
sched_init() and removing the __sched_fork() invocation from init_idle().
Do so and clean up the comments explaining this historical leftover.

Similarly to commit dfa4ed29b1 ("sched_ext: Introduce LLC awareness to
the default idle selection policy"), extend the built-in idle CPU
selection policy to also prioritize CPUs within the same NUMA node.
With this change applied, the built-in CPU idle selection policy follows
this logic:
- always prioritize CPUs from fully idle SMT cores,
- select the same CPU if possible,
- select a CPU within the same LLC domain,
- select a CPU within the same NUMA node.
Both NUMA and LLC awareness features are enabled only when the system
has multiple NUMA nodes or multiple LLC domains.
In the future, we may want to improve the NUMA node selection to account
the node distance from prev_cpu. Currently, the logic only tries to keep
tasks running on the same NUMA node. If all CPUs within a node are busy,
the next NUMA node is chosen randomly.

What psi needs to do on each enqueue and dequeue has gotten more
subtle, and the generic sched code trying to distill this into a bool
for the callbacks is awkward.
Pass the flags directly and let psi parse them. For that to work, the
#include "stats.h" (which has the psi callback implementations) needs
to be below the flag definitions in "sched.h". Move that section
further down, next to some of the other accounting stuff.
This also puts the ENQUEUE_SAVE/RESTORE branch behind the psi jump
label, slightly reducing overhead when PSI=y but runtime disabled.

[323676.067177] SMP: stopping secondary CPUs
[323676.070184] Starting crashdump kernel...
stress-ng-vm-segv in stress-ng is used to stress test the SIGSEGV error
handling function of the system, which tries to cause a SIGSEGV error on
return from unmapping the whole address space of the child process.
Normally this program will not cause kernel crashes. But before the
munmap system call returns to user mode, a potential task_numa_work()
for numa balancing could be added and executed. In this scenario, since the
child process has no vma after munmap, the vma_next() in task_numa_work()
will return a null pointer even if the vma iterator restarts from 0.
Recheck the vma pointer before dereferencing it in task_numa_work().
Fixes: 214dbc4281 ("sched: convert to vma iterator")

ops.dispatch() and ops.yield() may be fed a NULL task_struct pointer.
set_arg_maybe_null() is used to tell the verifier that they should be NULL
checked before being dereferenced. BPF now has an a lot prettier way to
express this - tagging arguments in CFI stubs with __nullable. Replace
set_arg_maybe_null() with __nullable CFI stub tags.

CFI stubs can be used to tag arguments with __nullable (and possibly other
tags in the future) but for that to work the CFI stubs must have names that
are recognized by BPF. Rename them.

Rely on the scheduler topology information to implement basic LLC
awareness in the sched_ext build-in idle selection policy.
This allows schedulers using the built-in policy to make more informed
decisions when selecting an idle CPU in systems with multiple LLCs, such
as NUMA systems or chiplet-based architectures, and it helps keep tasks
within the same LLC domain, thereby improving cache locality.
For efficiency, LLC awareness is applied only to tasks that can run on
all the CPUs in the system for now. If a task's affinity is modified
from user space, it's the responsibility of user space to choose the
appropriate optimized scheduling domain.

Update ops.select_cpu() documentation to clarify that this method is not
called for tasks that are restricted to run on a single CPU, as these
tasks do not have the option to select a different CPU.
