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
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.

Commit 98442f0ccd ("sched: Fix delayed_dequeue vs
switched_from_fair()") overlooked that __setscheduler_prio(), now
__setscheduler_class() relies on p->policy for task_should_scx(), and
moved the call before __setscheduler_params() updates it, causing it
to be using the old p->policy value.
Resolve this by changing task_should_scx() to take the policy itself
instead of a task pointer, such that __sched_setscheduler() can pass
in the updated policy.

Sean noted that ever since commit 152e11f6df ("sched/fair: Implement
delayed dequeue") KVM's preemption notifiers have started
mis-classifying preemption vs blocking.
Notably p->on_rq is no longer sufficient to determine if a task is
runnable or blocked -- the aforementioned commit introduces tasks that
remain on the runqueue even through they will not run again, and
should be considered blocked for many cases.
Add the task_is_runnable() helper to classify things and audit all
external users of the p->on_rq state. Also add a few comments.

Since sched_delayed tasks remain queued even after blocking, the load
balancer can migrate them between runqueues while PSI considers them
to be asleep. As a result, it misreads the migration requeue followed
by a wakeup as a double queue:
psi: inconsistent task state! task=... cpu=... psi_flags=4 clear=. set=4
First, call psi_enqueue() after p->sched_class->enqueue_task(). A
wakeup will clear p->se.sched_delayed while a migration will not, so
psi can use that flag to tell them apart.
Then teach psi to migrate any "sleep" state when delayed-dequeue tasks
are being migrated.
Delayed-dequeue tasks can be revived by ttwu_runnable(), which will
call down with a new ENQUEUE_DELAYED. Instead of further complicating
the wakeup conditional in enqueue_task(), identify migration contexts
instead and default to wakeup handling for all other cases.
It's not just the warning in dmesg, the task state corruption causes a
permanent CPU pressure indication, which messes with workload/machine
health monitoring.

Commit 2e0199df25 ("sched/fair: Prepare exit/cleanup paths for delayed_dequeue")
and its follow up fixes try to deal with a rather unfortunate
situation where is task is enqueued in a new class, even though it
shouldn't have been. Mostly because the existing ->switched_to/from()
hooks are in the wrong place for this case.
This all led to Paul being able to trigger failures at something like
once per 10k CPU hours of RCU torture.
For now, do the ugly thing and move the code to the right place by
ignoring the switch hooks.
Note: Clean up the whole sched_class::switch*_{to,from}() thing.

With KASAN and PREEMPT_RT enabled, calling task_work_add() in
task_tick_mm_cid() may cause the following splat.
[ 63.696416] BUG: sleeping function called from invalid context at kernel/locking/spinlock_rt.c:48
[ 63.696416] in_atomic(): 1, irqs_disabled(): 1, non_block: 0, pid: 610, name: modprobe
[ 63.696416] preempt_count: 10001, expected: 0
[ 63.696416] RCU nest depth: 1, expected: 1
This problem is caused by the following call trace.
sched_tick() [ acquire rq->__lock ]
-> task_tick_mm_cid()
-> task_work_add()
-> __kasan_record_aux_stack()
-> kasan_save_stack()
-> stack_depot_save_flags()
-> alloc_pages_mpol_noprof()
-> __alloc_pages_noprof()
-> get_page_from_freelist()
-> rmqueue()
-> rmqueue_pcplist()
-> __rmqueue_pcplist()
-> rmqueue_bulk()
-> rt_spin_lock()
The rq lock is a raw_spinlock_t. We can't sleep while holding
it. IOW, we can't call alloc_pages() in stack_depot_save_flags().
The task_tick_mm_cid() function with its task_work_add() call was
introduced by commit 223baf9d17 ("sched: Fix performance regression
introduced by mm_cid") in v6.4 kernel.
Fortunately, there is a kasan_record_aux_stack_noalloc() variant that
calls stack_depot_save_flags() while not allowing it to allocate
new pages. To allow task_tick_mm_cid() to use task_work without
page allocation, a new TWAF_NO_ALLOC flag is added to enable calling
kasan_record_aux_stack_noalloc() instead of kasan_record_aux_stack()
if set. The task_tick_mm_cid() function is modified to add this new flag.
The possible downside is the missing stack trace in a KASAN report due
to new page allocation required when task_work_add_noallloc() is called
which should be rare.

During ttwu, ->select_task_rq() can be skipped if only one CPU is allowed or
migration is disabled. sched_ext schedulers may perform operations such as
direct dispatch from ->select_task_rq() path and it is useful for them to
know whether ->select_task_rq() was skipped in the ->enqueue_task() path.
Currently, sched_ext schedulers are using ENQUEUE_WAKEUP for this purpose
and end up assuming incorrectly that ->select_task_rq() was called for tasks
that are bound to a single CPU or migration disabled.
Make select_task_rq() indicate whether ->select_task_rq() was called by
setting WF_RQ_SELECTED in *wake_flags and make ttwu_do_activate() map that
to ENQUEUE_RQ_SELECTED for ->enqueue_task().
This will be used by sched_ext to fix ->select_task_rq() skip detection.

This will be used to allow select_task_rq() to indicate whether
->select_task_rq() was called by modifying *wake_flags.
This makes try_to_wake_up() call all functions that take wake_flags with
WF_TTWU set. Previously, only select_task_rq() was. Using the same flags is
more consistent, and, as the flag is only tested by ->select_task_rq()
implementations, it doesn't cause any behavior differences.

Since commit b2a02fc43a ("smp: Optimize
send_call_function_single_ipi()") an idle CPU in TIF_POLLING_NRFLAG mode
can be pulled out of idle by setting TIF_NEED_RESCHED flag to service an
IPI without actually sending an interrupt. Even in cases where the IPI
handler does not queue a task on the idle CPU, do_idle() will call
__schedule() since need_resched() returns true in these cases.
Introduce and use SM_IDLE to identify call to __schedule() from
schedule_idle() and shorten the idle re-entry time by skipping
pick_next_task() when nr_running is 0 and the previous task is the idle
task.

Add sched_ext_ops operations to init/exit cgroups, and track task migrations
and config changes. A BPF scheduler may not implement or implement only
subset of cgroup features. The implemented features can be indicated using
%SCX_OPS_HAS_CGOUP_* flags. If cgroup configuration makes use of features
that are not implemented, a warning is triggered.
While a BPF scheduler is being enabled and disabled, relevant cgroup
operations are locked out using scx_cgroup_rwsem. This avoids situations
like task prep taking place while the task is being moved across cgroups,
making things easier for BPF schedulers.
v7: - cgroup interface file visibility toggling is dropped in favor just
warning messages. Dynamically changing interface visiblity caused more
confusion than helping.
v6: - Updated to reflect the removal of SCX_KF_SLEEPABLE.
- Updated to use CONFIG_GROUP_SCHED_WEIGHT and fixes for
!CONFIG_FAIR_GROUP_SCHED && CONFIG_EXT_GROUP_SCHED.
v5: - Flipped the locking order between scx_cgroup_rwsem and
cpus_read_lock() to avoid locking order conflict w/ cpuset. Better
documentation around locking.
- sched_move_task() takes an early exit if the source and destination
are identical. This triggered the warning in scx_cgroup_can_attach()
as it left p->scx.cgrp_moving_from uncleared. Updated the cgroup
migration path so that ops.cgroup_prep_move() is skipped for identity
migrations so that its invocations always match ops.cgroup_move()
one-to-one.
v4: - Example schedulers moved into their own patches.
- Fix build failure when !CONFIG_CGROUP_SCHED, reported by Andrea Righi.
v3: - Make scx_example_pair switch all tasks by default.
- Convert to BPF inline iterators.
- scx_bpf_task_cgroup() is added to determine the current cgroup from
CPU controller's POV. This allows BPF schedulers to accurately track
CPU cgroup membership.
- scx_example_flatcg added. This demonstrates flattened hierarchy
implementation of CPU cgroup control and shows significant performance
improvement when cgroups which are nested multiple levels are under
competition.
v2: - Build fixes for different CONFIG combinations.

sched_ext will soon add cgroup cpu.weigh support. The cgroup interface code
is currently gated behind CONFIG_FAIR_GROUP_SCHED. As the fair class and/or
SCX may implement the feature, put the interface code behind the new
CONFIG_CGROUP_SCHED_WEIGHT which is selected by CONFIG_FAIR_GROUP_SCHED.
This allows either sched class to enable the itnerface code without ading
more complex CONFIG tests.
When !CONFIG_FAIR_GROUP_SCHED, a dummy version of sched_group_set_shares()
is added to support later CONFIG_CGROUP_SCHED_WEIGHT &&
!CONFIG_FAIR_GROUP_SCHED builds.

When a task is selected through a dl_server, it will have p->dl_server
set, such that it can account runtime to the dl_server, see
update_curr_task().
Currently p->dl_server is set in pick*task() whenever it goes through
the dl_server, clearing it is a bit of a mess though. The trivial
solution is clearing it on the final put (now that we have this
location).
However, this gives a problem when:
p = pick_task(rq);
if (p)
put_prev_set_next_task(rq, prev, next);
picks the same task but through a different path, notably when it goes
from picking through the dl_server to a direct pick or vice-versa. In
that case we cannot readily determine wether we should clear or
preserve p->dl_server.
An additional complication is pick_*task() setting p->dl_server for a
remote pick, it might still need to update runtime before it schedules
the core_pick.
Close all these holes and remove all the random clearing of
p->dl_server by:
- having pick_*task() manage rq->dl_server
- having the final put_prev_task() clear p->dl_server
- having the first set_next_task() set p->dl_server = rq->dl_server
- complicate the core_sched code to save/restore rq->dl_server where
appropriate.

The current rule is that:
pick_next_task() := pick_task() + set_next_task(.first = true)
And many classes implement it directly as such. Change things around
to make pick_next_task() optional while also changing the definition to:
pick_next_task(prev) := pick_task() + put_prev_task() + set_next_task(.first = true)
The reason is that sched_ext would like to have a 'final' call that
knows the next task. By placing put_prev_task() right next to
set_next_task() (as it already is for sched_core) this becomes
trivial.
As a bonus, this is a nice cleanup on its own.

Allow applications to directly set a suggested request/slice length using
sched_attr::sched_runtime.
The implementation clamps the value to: 0.1[ms] <= slice <= 100[ms]
which is 1/10 the size of HZ=1000 and 10 times the size of HZ=100.
Applications should strive to use their periodic runtime at a high
confidence interval (95%+) as the target slice. Using a smaller slice
will introduce undue preemptions, while using a larger value will
increase latency.

From all this it can be deduced that, for the steady state:
- the total period (P) of a schedule is: W*max(r_i/w_i)
- the average period of a task is: W*(r_i/w_i)
- each task obtains the fair share: w_i/W of each full period P

Delayed dequeue has tasks sit around on the runqueue that are not
actually runnable -- specifically, they will be dequeued the moment
they get picked.
One side-effect is that such a task can get migrated, which leads to a
'nested' dequeue_task() scenario that messes up uclamp if we don't
take care.
Notably, dequeue_task(DEQUEUE_SLEEP) can 'fail' and keep the task on
the runqueue. This however will have removed the task from uclamp --
per uclamp_rq_dec() in dequeue_task(). So far so good.
However, if at that point the task gets migrated -- or nice adjusted
or any of a myriad of operations that does a dequeue-enqueue cycle --
we'll pass through dequeue_task()/enqueue_task() again. Without
modification this will lead to a double decrement for uclamp, which is
wrong.

The commit 2d7f00b2f0 ("rcu: Suppress smp_processor_id() complaint

dump_cpu_task() to suppress warning on its usage within preemtible context.
Calling dump_cpu_task() doesn't required to be in non-preemptible context
except for suppressing the smp_processor_id() warning.
As the smp_processor_id() is evaluated along with in_hardirq()
to check if it's in interrupt context, this patch removes the need
for its preemtion disablement by reordering the condition so that
smp_processor_id() only gets evaluated when it's in interrupt context.

rt_task() checks if a task has RT priority. But depends on your
dictionary, this could mean it belongs to RT class, or is a 'realtime'
task, which includes RT and DL classes.
Since this has caused some confusion already on discussion [1], it
seemed a clean up is due.
I define the usage of rt_task() to be tasks that belong to RT class.
Make sure that it returns true only for RT class and audit the users and
replace the ones required the old behavior with the new realtime_task()
which returns true for RT and DL classes. Introduce similar
realtime_prio() to create similar distinction to rt_prio() and update
the users that required the old behavior to use the new function.
Move MAX_DL_PRIO to prio.h so it can be used in the new definitions.
Document the functions to make it more obvious what is the difference
between them. PI-boosted tasks is a factor that must be taken into
account when choosing which function to use.
Rename task_is_realtime() to realtime_task_policy() as the old name is
confusing against the new realtime_task().
No functional changes were intended.

task_can_run_on_remote_rq() is similar to is_cpu_allowed() but there are
subtle differences. It currently open codes all the tests. This is
cumbersome to understand and error-prone in case the intersecting tests need
to be updated.
Factor out the common part - testing whether the task is allowed on the CPU
at all regardless of the CPU state - into task_allowed_on_cpu() and make
both is_cpu_allowed() and SCX's task_can_run_on_remote_rq() use it. As the
code is now linked between the two and each contains only the extra tests
that differ between them, it's less error-prone when the conditions need to
be updated. Also, improve the comment to explain why they are different.

On SMP, SCX performs dispatch from sched_class->balance(). As balance() was
not available in UP, it instead called the internal balance function from
put_prev_task_scx() and pick_next_task_scx() to emulate the effect, which is
rather nasty.
Enabling sched_class->balance() on UP shouldn't cause any meaningful
overhead. Enable balance() on UP and drop the ugly workaround.

SCX needs its balance() invoked even when waking up from a lower priority
sched class (idle) and put_prev_task_balance() thus has the logic to promote

The way sched_can_stop_tick() used scx_can_stop_tick() was rather confusing
and the behavior wasn't ideal when SCX is enabled in partial mode. Simplify
it so that:
- scx_can_stop_tick() can say no if scx_enabled().
- CFS tests rq->cfs.nr_running > 1 instead of rq->nr_running.
This is easier to follow and leads to the correct answer whether SCX is
disabled, enabled in partial mode or all tasks are switched to SCX.
Peter, note that this is a bit different from your suggestion where
sched_can_stop_tick() unconditionally returns scx_can_stop_tick() iff
scx_switched_all(). The problem is that in partial mode, tick can be stopped
when there is only one SCX task even if the BPF scheduler didn't ask and
isn't ready for it.
