2024-12-02sched/deadline: Correctly account for allocated bandwidth during hotplugJuri Lelli
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.

2024-12-02sched/deadline: Restore dl_server bandwidth on non-destructive root domain ↵Juri Lelli
changes 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.

2024-12-02sched: Don't try to catch up excess steal time.Suleiman Souhlal
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.

2024-12-02locking: rtmutex: Fix wake_q logic in task_blocks_on_rt_mutexJohn Stultz
Anders had bisected a crash using PREEMPT_RT with linux-next and isolated it down to commit 894d1b3db41c ("locking/mutex: Remove wakeups from under mutex::wait_lock"), where it seemed the wake_q structure was somehow getting corrupted causing a null pointer traversal. I was able to easily repoduce this with PREEMPT_RT and managed to isolate down that through various call stacks we were actually calling wake_up_q() twice on the same wake_q. I found that in the problematic commit, I had added the wake_up_q() call in task_blocks_on_rt_mutex() around __ww_mutex_add_waiter(), following a similar pattern in __mutex_lock_common(). However, its just wrong. We haven't dropped the lock->wait_lock, so its contrary to the point of the original patch. And it didn't match the __mutex_lock_common() logic of re-initializing the wake_q after calling it midway in the stack. Looking at it now, the wake_up_q() call is incorrect and should just be removed. So drop the erronious logic I had added.

2024-12-02sched/core: Prevent wakeup of ksoftirqd during idle load balanceK Prateek Nayak
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.

2024-12-02sched/fair: Check idle_cpu() before need_resched() to detect ilb CPU turning ↵K Prateek Nayak
busy Commit b2a02fc43a1f ("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.

2024-12-02sched/core: Remove the unnecessary need_resched() check in nohz_csd_func()K Prateek Nayak
The need_resched() check currently in nohz_csd_func() can be tracked to have been added in scheduler_ipi() back in 2011 via commit ca38062e57e9 ("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 f3dd3f674555b ("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 b2a02fc43a1f ("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.

2024-12-02softirq: Allow raising SCHED_SOFTIRQ from SMP-call-function on RT kernelK Prateek Nayak
do_softirq_post_smp_call_flush() on PREEMPT_RT kernels carries a WARN_ON_ONCE() for any SOFTIRQ being raised from an SMP-call-function. Since do_softirq_post_smp_call_flush() is called with preempt disabled, raising a SOFTIRQ during flush_smp_call_function_queue() can lead to longer preempt disabled sections. Since commit b2a02fc43a1f ("smp: Optimize send_call_function_single_ipi()") IPIs to an idle CPU in TIF_POLLING_NRFLAG mode can be optimized out by instead setting TIF_NEED_RESCHED bit in idle task's thread_info and relying on the flush_smp_call_function_queue() in the idle-exit path to run the SMP-call-function. To trigger an idle load balancing, the scheduler queues nohz_csd_function() responsible for triggering an idle load balancing on a target nohz idle CPU and sends an IPI. Only now, this IPI is optimized out and the SMP-call-function is executed from flush_smp_call_function_queue() in do_idle() which can raise a SCHED_SOFTIRQ to trigger the balancing. So far, this went undetected since, the need_resched() check in nohz_csd_function() would make it bail out of idle load balancing early as the idle thread does not clear TIF_POLLING_NRFLAG before calling flush_smp_call_function_queue(). The need_resched() check was added with the intent to catch a new task wakeup, however, it has recently discovered to be unnecessary and will be removed in the subsequent commit after which nohz_csd_function() can raise a SCHED_SOFTIRQ from flush_smp_call_function_queue() to trigger an idle load balance on an idle target in TIF_POLLING_NRFLAG mode. nohz_csd_function() bails out early if "idle_cpu()" check for the target CPU, and does not lock the target CPU's rq until the very end, once it has found tasks to run on the CPU and will not inhibit the wakeup of, or running of a newly woken up higher priority task. Account for this and prevent a WARN_ON_ONCE() when SCHED_SOFTIRQ is raised from flush_smp_call_function_queue().

Commit 8f9ea86fdf99b 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.

2024-12-01strscpy: write destination buffer only onceLinus Torvalds
The point behind strscpy() was to once and for all avoid all the problems with 'strncpy()' and later broken "fixed" versions like strlcpy() that just made things worse. So strscpy not only guarantees NUL-termination (unlike strncpy), it also doesn't do unnecessary padding at the destination. But at the same time also avoids byte-at-a-time reads and writes by _allowing_ some extra NUL writes - within the size, of course - so that the whole copy can be done with word operations. It is also stable in the face of a mutable source string: it explicitly does not read the source buffer multiple times (so an implementation using "strnlen()+memcpy()" would be wrong), and does not read the source buffer past the size (like the mis-design that is strlcpy does). Finally, the return value is designed to be simple and unambiguous: if the string cannot be copied fully, it returns an actual negative error, making error handling clearer and simpler (and the caller already knows the size of the buffer). Otherwise it returns the string length of the result. However, there was one final stability issue that can be important to callers: the stability of the destination buffer. In particular, the same way we shouldn't read the source buffer more than once, we should avoid doing multiple writes to the destination buffer: first writing a potentially non-terminated string, and then terminating it with NUL at the end does not result in a stable result buffer. Yes, it gives the right result in the end, but if the rule for the destination buffer was that it is _always_ NUL-terminated even when accessed concurrently with updates, the final byte of the buffer needs to always _stay_ as a NUL byte. [ Note that "final byte is NUL" here is literally about the final byte in the destination array, not the terminating NUL at the end of the string itself. There is no attempt to try to make concurrent reads and writes give any kind of consistent string length or contents, but we do want to guarantee that there is always at least that final terminating NUL character at the end of the destination array if it existed before ] This is relevant in the kernel for the tsk->comm[] array, for example. Even without locking (for either readers or writers), we want to know that while the buffer contents may be garbled, it is always a valid C string and always has a NUL character at 'comm[TASK_COMM_LEN-1]' (and never has any "out of thin air" data). So avoid any "copy possibly non-terminated string, and terminate later" behavior, and write the destination buffer only once. Signed-off-by: Linus Torvalds <torvalds@linux-foundation.org>

2024-11-30tools/power turbostat: Enhance platform divergence descriptionZhang Rui
In various generations, platforms often share a majority of features, diverging only in a few specific aspects. The current approach of using hardcoded values in 'platform_features' structure fails to effectively represent these divergences. To improve the description of platform divergence: 1. Each newly introduced 'platform_features' structure must have a base, typically derived from the previous generation. 2. Platform feature values should be inherited from the base structure rather than being hardcoded. This approach ensures a more accurate and maintainable representation of platform-specific features across different generations. Converts `adl_features` and `lnl_features` to follow this new scheme.
