The function create_filter() is passed a 'filterp' pointer that gets
allocated, and if "set_str" is true, it is up to the caller to free it, even
on error. The problem is that the pointer is not freed by create_filter()
when set_str is false. This is a bug, and it is not up to the caller to free
the filter on error if it doesn't care about the string.

commit dd1c1f2f20 upstream.
This was reported many times, and this was even mentioned in commit
52ee2dfdd4 ("pids: refactor vnr/nr_ns helpers to make them safe") but
somehow nobody bothered to fix the obvious problem: task_tgid_nr_ns() is
not safe because task->group_leader points to nowhere after the exiting
task passes exit_notify(), rcu_read_lock() can not help.
We really need to change __unhash_process() to nullify group_leader,
parent, and real_parent, but this needs some cleanups. Until then we
can turn task_tgid_nr_ns() into another user of __task_pid_nr_ns() and
fix the problem.

commit 89affbf5d9 upstream.
In codepaths that use the begin/retry interface for reading
mems_allowed_seq with irqs disabled, there exists a race condition that
stalls the patch process after only modifying a subset of the
static_branch call sites.
This problem manifested itself as a deadlock in the slub allocator,
inside get_any_partial. The loop reads mems_allowed_seq value (via
read_mems_allowed_begin), performs the defrag operation, and then
verifies the consistency of mem_allowed via the read_mems_allowed_retry
and the cookie returned by xxx_begin.
The issue here is that both begin and retry first check if cpusets are
enabled via cpusets_enabled() static branch. This branch can be
rewritted dynamically (via cpuset_inc) if a new cpuset is created. The
x86 jump label code fully synchronizes across all CPUs for every entry
it rewrites. If it rewrites only one of the callsites (specifically the
one in read_mems_allowed_retry) and then waits for the
smp_call_function(do_sync_core) to complete while a CPU is inside the
begin/retry section with IRQs off and the mems_allowed value is changed,
we can hang.
This is because begin() will always return 0 (since it wasn't patched
yet) while retry() will test the 0 against the actual value of the seq
counter.
The fix is to use two different static keys: one for begin
(pre_enable_key) and one for retry (enable_key). In cpuset_inc(), we
first bump the pre_enable key to ensure that cpuset_mems_allowed_begin()
always return a valid seqcount if are enabling cpusets. Similarly, when
disabling cpusets via cpuset_dec(), we first ensure that callers of
cpuset_mems_allowed_retry() will start ignoring the seqcount value
before we let cpuset_mems_allowed_begin() return 0.

[ Upstream commit 2d39b3cd34 ]
Since commit 00cd5c37af ("ptrace: permit ptracing of /sbin/init") we
can now trace init processes. init is initially protected with
SIGNAL_UNKILLABLE which will prevent fatal signals such as SIGSTOP, but
there are a number of paths during tracing where SIGNAL_UNKILLABLE can
be implicitly cleared.
This can result in init becoming stoppable/killable after tracing. For
example, running:
while true; do kill -STOP 1; done &
strace -p 1
and then stopping strace and the kill loop will result in init being
left in state TASK_STOPPED. Sending SIGCONT to init will resume it, but
init will now respond to future SIGSTOP signals rather than ignoring
them.
Make sure that when setting SIGNAL_STOP_CONTINUED/SIGNAL_STOP_STOPPED
that we don't clear SIGNAL_UNKILLABLE.

The combination of WQ_UNBOUND and max_active == 1 used to imply
ordered execution. After NUMA affinity 4c16bd327c ("workqueue:
implement NUMA affinity for unbound workqueues"), this is no longer
true due to per-node worker pools.
While the right way to create an ordered workqueue is
alloc_ordered_workqueue(), the documentation has been misleading for a
long time and people do use WQ_UNBOUND and max_active == 1 for ordered
workqueues which can lead to subtle bugs which are very difficult to
trigger.
It's unlikely that we'd see noticeable performance impact by enforcing
ordering on WQ_UNBOUND / max_active == 1 workqueues. Let's
automatically set __WQ_ORDERED for those workqueues.

commit 8244062ef1 upstream.
For CONFIG_KALLSYMS, we keep two symbol tables and two string tables.
There's one full copy, marked SHF_ALLOC and laid out at the end of the
module's init section. There's also a cut-down version that only
contains core symbols and strings, and lives in the module's core
section.
After module init (and before we free the module memory), we switch
the mod->symtab, mod->num_symtab and mod->strtab to point to the core
versions. We do this under the module_mutex.
However, kallsyms doesn't take the module_mutex: it uses
preempt_disable() and rcu tricks to walk through the modules, because
it's used in the oops path. It's also used in /proc/kallsyms.
There's nothing atomic about the change of these variables, so we can
get the old (larger!) num_symtab and the new symtab pointer; in fact
this is what I saw when trying to reproduce.
By grouping these variables together, we can use a
carefully-dereferenced pointer to ensure we always get one or the
other (the free of the module init section is already done in an RCU
callback, so that's safe). We allocate the init one at the end of the
module init section, and keep the core one inside the struct module
itself (it could also have been allocated at the end of the module
core, but that's probably overkill).

commit e022441851 upstream.
Currently, percpu symbols from .data..percpu ELF section of a module are
not copied over and stored in final symtab array of struct module.
Consequently such symbol cannot be returned via kallsyms API (for
example kallsyms_lookup_name). This can be especially confusing when the
percpu symbol is exported. Only its __ksymtab et al. are present in its
symtab.
The culprit is in layout_and_allocate() function where SHF_ALLOC flag is
dropped for .data..percpu section. There is in fact no need to copy the
section to final struct module, because kernel module loader allocates
extra percpu section by itself. Unfortunately only symbols from
SHF_ALLOC sections are copied due to a check in is_core_symbol().
The patch changes is_core_symbol() function to copy over also percpu
symbols (their st_shndx points to .data..percpu ELF section). We do it
only if CONFIG_KALLSYMS_ALL is set to be consistent with the rest of the
function (ELF section is SHF_ALLOC but !SHF_EXECINSTR). Finally
elf_type() returns type 'a' for a percpu symbol because its address is
absolute.

Modules have three sections: text, rodata and writable data. The code
handled the case where these overlapped, however they never can:
debug_align() ensures they are always page-aligned.
This is why we got away with manually traversing the pages in
set_all_modules_text_rw() without rounding.
We create three helper functions: frob_text(), frob_rodata() and
frob_writable_data(). We then call these explicitly at every point,
so it's clear what we're doing.
We also expose module_enable_ro() and module_disable_ro() for
livepatch to use.

We've had the thread info allocated together with the thread stack for
most architectures for a long time (since the thread_info was split off
from the task struct), but that is about to change.
But the patches that move the thread info to be off-stack (and a part of
the task struct instead) made it clear how confused the allocator and
freeing functions are.
Because the common case was that we share an allocation with the thread
stack and the thread_info, the two pointers were identical. That
identity then meant that we would have things like
ti = alloc_thread_info_node(tsk, node);
...
tsk->stack = ti;
which certainly _worked_ (since stack and thread_info have the same
value), but is rather confusing: why are we assigning a thread_info to
the stack? And if we move the thread_info away, the "confusing" code
just gets to be entirely bogus.
So remove all this confusion, and make it clear that we are doing the
stack allocation by renaming and clarifying the function names to be
about the stack. The fact that the thread_info then shares the
allocation is an implementation detail, and not really about the
allocation itself.
This is a pure renaming and type fix: we pass in the same pointer, it's
just that we clarify what the pointer means.
The ia64 code that actually only has one single allocation (for all of
task_struct, thread_info and kernel thread stack) now looks a bit odd,
but since "tsk->stack" is actually not even used there, that oddity
doesn't matter. It would be a separate thing to clean that up, I
intentionally left the ia64 changes as a pure brute-force renaming and
type change.

that there are times when EAS cannot see that we are about

result in us being able to idle that entire group.
This is an attempt to detect that situation and at least
allow the energy calculation to include savings in that

achieve in the real world. If a cluster or cpu looks like
it will have some idle time available to it, we try to

We previously relied on the side effect of wake_cap to do that,
however that does not happen when the waking CPU has the same
capacity as the prev_cpu. Therefore just explicitly call
sync_entity_load_avg. This may result in calling that function twice
within the same select_task_rq_fair, but since last_update_time
hasn't changed the second call will bail out very quickly.

Stale cpu utilization signals can cause havoc for energy-aware systems,
and they are caused by no updates being performed for cpus which have
no tick running. There is open debate about when is the correct time to
update these cpus, and general recognition that something needs to be
done.
This is an attempt to do something useful.
When we are looking for a task to pull for a newly-idle cpu, we have
an opportunity to update the stats for any cpu which has no tick running
without causing too much disturbance to the system or waking it up.

The find_best_target() code has evolved over time to integrate different
micro-optimizations to the point to be quite difficult now to follow
exactly what it's doing.
This patch rafactors the existing code to make it more readable and easy
to maintain. It does that by properly identifying the three main
use-cases and addressing them in priority order:
A) latency sensitive tasks
B) non latency sensitive tasks on IDLE CPUs
C) non latency sensitive tasks on ACTIVE CPUs
The original behaviors are preserved. Some tests to compare
power/performances before and after this patch have been done using
Jankbench and YouTube and we did not noticed sensible differences.
The only difference with respect of the original code is a small update
to favor lower-capacity idle CPUs in case B. The same preference is not
enforce in case A since this can lead to a selection of a non-reserved
CPU for TOP_APP tasks, which ultimately can lead to non desirable
co-scheduling side-effects.

modify the last update time stamp and governor computations may
run again shortly when that happens), so don't do that (arguably, it
is done to work around a utilities bug anyway).
That allows code duplication in sugov_update_commit() to be reduced
somewhat too.

The way the schedutil governor uses the PELT metric causes it to
underestimate the CPU utilization in some cases.
That can be easily demonstrated by running kernel compilation on
a Sandy Bridge Intel processor, running turbostat in parallel with
it and looking at the values written to the MSR_IA32_PERF_CTL
register. Namely, the expected result would be that when all CPUs
were 100% busy, all of them would be requested to run in the maximum
P-state, but observation shows that this clearly isn't the case.
The CPUs run in the maximum P-state for a while and then are
requested to run slower and go back to the maximum P-state after
a while again. That causes the actual frequency of the processor to
visibly oscillate below the sustainable maximum in a jittery fashion
which clearly is not desirable.
That has been attributed to CPU utilization metric updates on task
migration that cause the total utilization value for the CPU to be
reduced by the utilization of the migrated task. If that happens,
the schedutil governor may see a CPU utilization reduction and will
attempt to reduce the CPU frequency accordingly right away. That
may be premature, though, for example if the system is generally
busy and there are other runnable tasks waiting to be run on that
CPU already.
This is unlikely to be an issue on systems where cpufreq policies are
shared between multiple CPUs, because in those cases the policy
utilization is computed as the maximum of the CPU utilization values
over the whole policy and if that turns out to be low, reducing the
frequency for the policy most likely is a good idea anyway. On
systems with one CPU per policy, however, it may affect performance
adversely and even lead to increased energy consumption in some cases.
On those systems it may be addressed by taking another utilization
metric into consideration, like whether or not the CPU whose
frequency is about to be reduced has been idle recently, because if
that's not the case, the CPU is likely to be busy in the near future
and its frequency should not be reduced.
To that end, use the counter of idle calls in the timekeeping code.
Namely, make the schedutil governor look at that counter for the
current CPU every time before its frequency is about to be reduced.
If the counter has not changed since the previous iteration of the
governor computations for that CPU, the CPU has been busy for all
that time and its frequency should not be decreased, so if the new
frequency would be lower than the one set previously, the governor
will skip the frequency update.

The loop in sugov_next_freq_shared() contains an if block to skip the
loop for the current CPU. This turns out to be an unnecessary
conditional in the scheduler's hot-path for every CPU in the policy.
It would be better to drop the conditional and make the loop treat all
the CPUs in the same way. That would eliminate the need of calling
sugov_iowait_boost() at the top of the routine.
To keep the code optimized to return early if the current CPU has RT/DL
flags set, move the flags check to sugov_update_shared() instead in
order to avoid the function call entirely.

sugov_start() only initializes struct sugov_cpu per-CPU structures
for shared policies, but it should do that for single-CPU policies too.
That in particular makes the IO-wait boost mechanism work in the
cases when cpufreq policies correspond to individual CPUs.

cached_raw_freq applies to the entire cpufreq policy and not individual
CPUs. Apart from wasting per-cpu memory, it is actually wrong to keep it
in struct sugov_cpu as we may end up comparing next_freq with a stale
cached_raw_freq of a random CPU.
Move cached_raw_freq to struct sugov_policy.
