In our testing with 6.12 based kernel on a big.LITTLE system, we were
seeing instances of RT tasks being blocked from running on the LITTLE
cpus for multiple seconds of time, apparently by the dl_server. This
far exceeds the default configured 50ms per second runtime.
This is due to the fair dl_server runtime calculation being scaled
for frequency & capacity of the cpu.
Consider the following case under a Big.LITTLE architecture:
Assume the runtime is: 50,000,000 ns, and Frequency/capacity
scale-invariance defined as below:
Frequency scale-invariance: 100
Capacity scale-invariance: 50
First by Frequency scale-invariance,
the runtime is scaled to 50,000,000 * 100 >> 10 = 4,882,812
Then by capacity scale-invariance,
it is further scaled to 4,882,812 * 50 >> 10 = 238,418.
So it will scaled to 238,418 ns.
This smaller "accounted runtime" value is what ends up being
subtracted against the fair-server's runtime for the current period.
Thus after 50ms of real time, we've only accounted ~238us against the
fair servers runtime. This 209:1 ratio in this example means that on
the smaller cpu the fair server is allowed to continue running,
blocking RT tasks, for over 10 seconds before it exhausts its supposed
50ms of runtime. And on other hardware configurations it can be even
worse.
For the fair deadline_server, to prevent realtime tasks from being
unexpectedly delayed, we really do want to use fixed time, and not
scaled time for smaller capacity/frequency cpus. So remove the scaling
from the fair server's accounting to fix this.

Jann reports that uprobes can be used destructively when used in the
middle of an instruction. The kernel only verifies there is a valid
instruction at the requested offset, but due to variable instruction
length cannot determine if this is an instruction as seen by the
intended execution stream.
Additionally, Mark Rutland notes that on architectures that mix data
in the text segment (like arm64), a similar things can be done if the
data word is 'mistaken' for an instruction.
As such, require CAP_SYS_ADMIN for uprobes.

So this balance_push() is part of schedule(), and schedule() is supposed
to switch to stopper task, but because of this race condition, stopper
task is stuck in WAKING state and not actually visible to be picked.
Therefore CPU1 can do another schedule() and end up doing another
balance_push() even though the last one hasn't been done yet.
This is a confluence of fail, where both wake_q and ttwu_wakelist can
cause crucial wakeups to be delayed, resulting in the malfunction of
balance_push.
Since there is only a single stopper thread to be woken, the wake_q
doesn't really add anything here, and can be removed in favour of
direct wakeups of the stopper thread.
Then add a clause to ttwu_queue_cond() to ensure the stopper threads
are never queued / delayed.
Of all 3 moving parts, the last addition was the balance_push()
machinery, so pick that as the point the bug was introduced.

Pull tracing fix from Steven Rostedt:
- Fix possible UAF on error path in filter_free_subsystem_filters()
When freeing a subsystem filter, the filter for the subsystem is
passed in to be freed and all the events within the subsystem will
have their filter freed too. In order to free without waiting for RCU
synchronization, list items are allocated to hold what is going to be
freed to free it via a call_rcu(). If the allocation of these items
fails, it will call the synchronization directly and free after that
(causing a bit of delay for the user).
The subsystem filter is first added to this list and then the filters
for all the events under the subsystem. The bug is if one of the
allocations of the list items for the event filters fail to allocate,
it jumps to the "free_now" label which will free the subsystem
filter, then all the items on the allocated list, and then the event
filters that were not added to the list yet. But because the
subsystem filter was added first, it gets freed twice.
The solution is to add the subsystem filter after the events, and
then if any of the allocations fail it will not try to free any of
them twice

If an AUX event overruns, the event core layer intends to disable the
event by setting the 'pending_disable' flag. Unfortunately, the event
is not actually disabled afterwards.
In commit:
ca6c21327c ("perf: Fix missing SIGTRAPs")
the 'pending_disable' flag was changed to a boolean. However, the
AUX event code was not updated accordingly. The flag ends up holding a
CPU number. If this number is zero, the flag is taken as false and the
IRQ work is never triggered.
Later, with commit:
2b84def990 ("perf: Split __perf_pending_irq() out of perf_pending_irq()")
a new IRQ work 'pending_disable_irq' was introduced to handle event
disabling. The AUX event path was not updated to kick off the work queue.
To fix this bug, when an AUX ring buffer overrun is detected, call
perf_event_disable_inatomic() to initiate the pending disable flow.
Also update the outdated comment for setting the flag, to reflect the
boolean values (0 or 1).

The second argument of bpf_sysctl_get_name() helper is a pointer to a
buffer that is being written to. However that isn't specify in the
prototype.
Until commit 37cce22dbd ("bpf: verifier: Refactor helper access
type tracking"), all helper accesses were considered as a possible
write access by the verifier, so no big harm was done. However, since
then, the verifier might make wrong asssumption about the content of
that address which might lead it to make faulty optimizations (such as
removing code that was wrongly labeled dead). This is what happens in
test_sysctl selftest to the tests related to sysctl_get_name.
Add MEM_WRITE flag the second argument of bpf_sysctl_get_name().

collect_mounts() has several problems - one can't iterate over the results
directly, so it has to be done with callback passed to iterate_mounts();
it has an oopsable race with d_invalidate(); it creates temporary clones
of mounts invisibly for sync umount (IOW, you can have non-lazy umount
succeed leaving filesystem not mounted anywhere and yet still busy).
A saner approach is to give caller an array of struct path that would pin
every mount in a subtree, without cloning any mounts.
* collect_mounts()/drop_collected_mounts()/iterate_mounts() is gone
* collect_paths(where, preallocated, size) gives either ERR_PTR(-E...) or
a pointer to array of struct path, one for each chunk of tree visible under
'where' (i.e. the first element is a copy of where, followed by (mount,root)
for everything mounted under it - the same set collect_mounts() would give).
Unlike collect_mounts(), the mounts are *not* cloned - we just get pinning
references to the roots of subtrees in the caller's namespace.
Array is terminated by {NULL, NULL} struct path. If it fits into
preallocated array (on-stack, normally), that's where it goes; otherwise
it's allocated by kmalloc_array(). Passing 0 as size means that 'preallocated'
is ignored (and expected to be NULL).
* drop_collected_paths(paths, preallocated) is given the array returned
by an earlier call of collect_paths() and the preallocated array passed to that
call. All mount/dentry references are dropped and array is kfree'd if it's not
equal to 'preallocated'.
* instead of iterate_mounts(), users should just iterate over array
of struct path - nothing exotic is needed for that. Existing users (all in
audit_tree.c) are converted.

BPF_MAP_TYPE_LRU_HASH can recycle most recent elements well before the
map is full, due to percpu reservations and force shrink before
neighbor stealing. Once a CPU is unable to borrow from the global map,
it will once steal one elem from a neighbor and after that each time
flush this one element to the global list and immediately recycle it.
Batch value LOCAL_FREE_TARGET (128) will exhaust a 10K element map
with 79 CPUs. CPU 79 will observe this behavior even while its
neighbors hold 78 * 127 + 1 * 15 == 9921 free elements (99%).
CPUs need not be active concurrently. The issue can appear with
affinity migration, e.g., irqbalance. Each CPU can reserve and then
hold onto its 128 elements indefinitely.
Avoid global list exhaustion by limiting aggregate percpu caches to
half of map size, by adjusting LOCAL_FREE_TARGET based on cpu count.
This change has no effect on sufficiently large tables.
Similar to LOCAL_NR_SCANS and lru->nr_scans, introduce a map variable
lru->free_target. The extra field fits in a hole in struct bpf_lru.
The cacheline is already warm where read in the hot path. The field is
only accessed with the lru lock held.

FREEZING
When tasks are migrated to a frozen cgroup, the freezer fails to
immediately freeze the tasks, causing the cgroup to remain in the
"FREEZING".
The freeze_task() function is called before clearing the CGROUP_FROZEN
flag. This causes the freezing() check to incorrectly return false,
preventing __freeze_task() from being invoked for the migrated task.
To fix this issue, clear the CGROUP_FROZEN state before calling
freeze_task().

Now when isolcpus is enabled via the cmdline, wq_isolated_cpumask does
not include these isolated CPUs, even wq_unbound_cpumask has already
excluded them. It is only when we successfully configure an isolate cpuset
partition that wq_isolated_cpumask gets overwritten by
workqueue_unbound_exclude_cpumask(), including both the cmdline-specified
isolated CPUs and the isolated CPUs within the cpuset partitions.
Fix this issue by initializing wq_isolated_cpumask properly in
workqueue_init_early().

During task_group creation, sched_create_group() calls
scx_group_set_weight() with CGROUP_WEIGHT_DFL to initialize the sched_ext
portion. This is premature and ends up calling ops.cgroup_set_weight() with
an incorrect @cgrp before ops.cgroup_init() is called.
sched_create_group() should just initialize SCX related fields in the new
task_group. Fix it by factoring out scx_tg_init() from sched_init() and
making sched_create_group() call that function instead of
scx_group_set_weight().

LSM hooks such as security_path_mknod() and security_inode_rename() have
access to newly allocated negative dentry, which has NULL d_inode.
Therefore, it is necessary to do the NULL pointer check for d_inode.
Also add selftests that checks the verifier enforces the NULL pointer
check.

If an exiting non-autoreaping task has already passed exit_notify() and
calls handle_posix_cpu_timers() from IRQ, it can be reaped by its parent
or debugger right after unlock_task_sighand().
If a concurrent posix_cpu_timer_del() runs at that moment, it won't be
able to detect timer->it.cpu.firing != 0: cpu_timer_task_rcu() and/or
lock_task_sighand() will fail.
Add the tsk->exit_state check into run_posix_cpu_timers() to fix this.
This fix is not needed if CONFIG_POSIX_CPU_TIMERS_TASK_WORK=y, because
exit_task_work() is called before exit_notify(). But the check still
makes sense, task_work_add(&tsk->posix_cputimers_work.work) will fail
anyway in this case.

Commit 788019eb55 ("genirq: Retain disable depth for managed interrupts
across CPU hotplug") tried to make managed shutdown/startup properly
reference counted, but it missed the fact that the unplug and hotplug code
has an intentional imbalance by skipping IRQS_SUSPENDED interrupts on
the "restore" path.
This means that if a managed-affinity interrupt was both suspended and
managed-shutdown (such as may happen during system suspend / S3), resume
skips calling irq_startup_managed(), and would again have an unbalanced
depth this time, with a positive value (i.e., remaining unexpectedly
masked).
This IRQS_SUSPENDED check was introduced in commit a60dd06af6
("genirq/cpuhotplug: Skip suspended interrupts when restoring affinity")
for essentially the same reason as commit 788019eb55, to prevent that
irq_startup() would unconditionally re-enable an interrupt too early.
Because irq_startup_managed() now respsects the disable-depth count, the
IRQS_SUSPENDED check is not longer needed, and instead, it causes harm.
Thus, drop the IRQS_SUSPENDED check, and restore balance.
This effectively reverts commit a60dd06af6 ("genirq/cpuhotplug: Skip
suspended interrupts when restoring affinity"), because it is replaced
by commit 788019eb55 ("genirq: Retain disable depth for managed
interrupts across CPU hotplug").

Commit 788019eb55 ("genirq: Retain disable depth for managed interrupts
across CPU hotplug") intended to only decrement the disable depth once per
managed shutdown, but instead it decrements for each CPU hotplug in the
affinity mask, until its depth reaches a point where it finally gets
re-started.
For example, consider:
1. Interrupt is affine to CPU {M,N}
2. disable_irq() -> depth is 1
3. CPU M goes offline -> interrupt migrates to CPU N / depth is still 1
4. CPU N goes offline -> irq_shutdown() / depth is 2
5. CPU N goes online
-> irq_restore_affinity_of_irq()
-> irqd_is_managed_and_shutdown()==true
-> irq_startup_managed() -> depth is 1
6. CPU M goes online
-> irq_restore_affinity_of_irq()
-> irqd_is_managed_and_shutdown()==true
-> irq_startup_managed() -> depth is 0
*** BUG: driver expects the interrupt is still disabled ***
-> irq_startup() -> irqd_clr_managed_shutdown()
7. enable_irq() -> depth underflow / unbalanced enable_irq() warning
This should clear the managed-shutdown flag at step 6, so that further
hotplugs don't cause further imbalance.
Note: It might be cleaner to also remove the irqd_clr_managed_shutdown()
invocation from __irq_startup_managed(). But this is currently not possible
because of irq_update_affinity_desc() as it sets IRQD_MANAGED_SHUTDOWN and
expects irq_startup() to clear it.

Once the global hash is requested there is no way back to switch back to
the per-task private hash. This is checked at the begin of the function.
It is possible that two threads simultaneously request the global hash
and both pass the initial check and block later on the
mm::futex_hash_lock. In this case the first thread performs the switch
to the global hash. The second thread will also attempt to switch to the
global hash and while doing so, accessing the nonexisting slot 1 of the
struct futex_private_hash.
The same applies if the hash is made immutable: There is no reference
counting and the hash must not be replaced.
Verify under mm_struct::futex_phash that neither the global hash nor an
immutable hash in use.

Pull more tracing fixes from Steven Rostedt:
- Fix regression of waiting a long time on updating trace event filters
When the faultable trace points were added, it needed task trace RCU
synchronization.
This was added to the tracepoint_synchronize_unregister() function.
The filter logic always called this function whenever it updated the
trace event filters before freeing the old filters. This increased
the time of "trace-cmd record" from taking 13 seconds to running over
2 minutes to complete.
Move the freeing of the filters to call_rcu*() logic, which brings
the time back down to 13 seconds.
- Fix ring_buffer_subbuf_order_set() error path lock protection
The error path of the ring_buffer_subbuf_order_set() released the
mutex too early and allowed subsequent accesses to setting the
subbuffer size to corrupt the data and cause a bug.
By moving the mutex locking to the end of the error path, it prevents
the reentrant access to the critical data and also allows the
function to convert the taking of the mutex over to the guard()
logic.
- Remove unused power management clock events
The clock events were added in 2010 for power management. In 2011 arm
used them. In 2013 the code they were used in was removed. These
events have been wasting memory since then.
- Fix sparse warnings
There was a few places that sparse warned about trace_events_filter.c
where file->filter was referenced directly, but it is annotated with
an __rcu tag. Use the helper functions and fix them up to use
rcu_dereference() properly.
