This can cause issues with processes using the poll()
interface:
1) client sends two oneway transactions
2) the second one gets queued on async_todo
(because the server didn't handle the first one
yet)
3) server returns from poll(), picks up the
first transaction and does transaction work
4) server is done with the transaction, sends
BC_FREE_BUFFER, and the second transaction gets
moved to thread->todo
5) libbinder's handlePolledCommands() only handles
the commands in the current data buffer, so
doesn't see the new transaction
6) the server continues running and issues a new
outgoing transaction. Now, it suddenly finds
the incoming oneway transaction on its thread
todo, and returns that to userspace.
7) userspace does not expect this to happen; it
may be holding a lock while making the outgoing
transaction, and if handling the incoming
trasnaction requires taking the same lock,
userspace will deadlock.
By queueing the async transaction to the proc
workqueue, we make sure it's only picked up when
a thread is ready for proc work.

This patch moves arm64's struct thread_info from the task stack into
task_struct. This protects thread_info from corruption in the case of
stack overflows, and makes its address harder to determine if stack
addresses are leaked, making a number of attacks more difficult. Precise
detection and handling of overflow is left for subsequent patches.
Largely, this involves changing code to store the task_struct in sp_el0,
and acquire the thread_info from the task struct. Core code now
implements current_thread_info(), and as noted in <linux/sched.h> this
relies on offsetof(task_struct, thread_info) == 0, enforced by core
code.
This change means that the 'tsk' register used in entry.S now points to
a task_struct, rather than a thread_info as it used to. To make this
clear, the TI_* field offsets are renamed to TSK_TI_*, with asm-offsets
appropriately updated to account for the structural change.
Userspace clobbers sp_el0, and we can no longer restore this from the
stack. Instead, the current task is cached in a per-cpu variable that we
can safely access from early assembly as interrupts are disabled (and we
are thus not preemptible).
Both secondary entry and idle are updated to stash the sp and task
pointer separately.

Shortly we will want to load a percpu variable in the return from
userspace path. We can save an instruction by folding the addition of
the percpu offset into the load instruction, and this patch adds a new
helper to do so.
At the same time, we clean up this_cpu_ptr for consistency. As with
{adr,ldr,str}_l, we change the template to take the destination register
first, and name this dst. Secondly, we rename the macro to adr_this_cpu,
following the scheme of adr_l, and matching the newly added
ldr_this_cpu.

In the absence of CONFIG_THREAD_INFO_IN_TASK, core code maintains
thread_info::cpu, and low-level architecture code can access this to
build raw_smp_processor_id(). With CONFIG_THREAD_INFO_IN_TASK, core code
maintains task_struct::cpu, which for reasons of hte header soup is not
accessible to low-level arch code.
Instead, we can maintain a percpu variable containing the cpu number.
For both the old and new implementation of raw_smp_processor_id(), we
read a syreg into a GPR, add an offset, and load the result. As the
offset is now larger, it may not be folded into the load, but otherwise
the assembly shouldn't change much.

Subsequent patches will make smp_processor_id() use a percpu variable.
This will make smp_processor_id() dependent on the percpu offset, and
thus we cannot use smp_processor_id() to figure out what to initialise
the offset to.
Prepare for this by initialising the percpu offset based on
current::cpu, which will work regardless of how smp_processor_id() is
implemented. Also, make this relationship obvious by placing this code

When returning from idle, we rely on the fact that thread_info lives at
the end of the kernel stack, and restore this by masking the saved stack
pointer. Subsequent patches will sever the relationship between the
stack and thread_info, and to cater for this we must save/restore sp_el0
explicitly, storing it in cpu_suspend_ctx.
As cpu_suspend_ctx must be doubleword aligned, this leaves us with an
extra slot in cpu_suspend_ctx. We can use this to save/restore tpidr_el1
in the same way, which simplifies the code, avoiding pointer chasing on
the restore path (as we no longer need to load thread_info::cpu followed
by the relevant slot in __per_cpu_offset based on this).
This patch stashes both registers in cpu_suspend_ctx.

In arm64's die and __die routines we pass around a thread_info, and
subsequently use this to determine the relevant task_struct, and the end
of the thread's stack. Subsequent patches will decouple thread_info from
the stack, and this approach will no longer work.
To figure out the end of the stack, we can use the new generic
end_of_stack() helper. As we only call __die() from die(), and die()
always deals with the current task, we can remove the parameter and have
both acquire current directly, which also makes it clear that __die
can't be called for arbitrary tasks.

When CONFIG_THREAD_INFO_IN_TASK is selected, the current_thread_info()
macro relies on current having been defined prior to its use. However,
not all users of current_thread_info() include <asm/current.h>, and thus
current is not guaranteed to be defined.
When CONFIG_THREAD_INFO_IN_TASK is not selected, it's possible that
get_current() / current are based upon current_thread_info(), and
<asm/current.h> includes <asm/thread_info.h>. Thus always including
<asm/current.h> would result in circular dependences on some platforms.
To ensure both cases work, this patch includes <asm/current.h>, but only
when CONFIG_THREAD_INFO_IN_TASK is selected.

Since commit f56141e3e2 ("all arches, signal: move restart_block
to struct task_struct"), thread_info and restart_block have been
logically distinct, yet struct restart_block is still defined in
<linux/thread_info.h>.
At least one architecture (erroneously) uses restart_block as part of
its thread_info, and thus the definition of restart_block must come
before the include of <asm/thread_info>. Subsequent patches in this
series need to shuffle the order of includes and definitions in
<linux/thread_info.h>, and will make this ordering fragile.
This patch moves the definition of restart_block out to its own header.
This serves as generic cleanup, logically separating thread_info and
restart_block, and also makes it easier to avoid fragility.

The INIT_TASK() initializer was similarly confused about the stack vs
thread_info allocation that the allocators had, and that were fixed in
commit b235beea9e ("Clarify naming of thread info/stack allocators").
The task ->stack pointer only incidentally ends up having the same value
as the thread_info, and in fact that will change.
So fix the initial task struct initializer to point to 'init_stack'
instead of 'init_thread_info', and make sure the ia64 definition for
that exists.
This actually makes the ia64 tsk->stack pointer be sensible for the
initial task, but not for any other task. As mentioned in commit
b235beea9e, that whole pointer isn't actually used on ia64, since
task_stack_page() there just points to the (single) allocation.
All the other architectures seem to have copied the 'init_stack'
definition, even if it tended to be generally unusued.

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.

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.

Bug: 63785372
Because we have disabled RT priority inheritance for
the regular binder domain, the following can happen:
1) thread A (prio 98) calls into thread B
2) because RT prio inheritance is disabled, thread B
runs at the lowest nice (prio 100) instead
3) thread B calls back into A; A will run at prio 100
for the duration of the transaction
4) When thread A is done with the call from B, we will
try to restore the prio back to 98. But, we fail
because the process doesn't hold CAP_SYS_NICE,
neither is RLIMIT_RT_PRIO set.
While the proper fix going forward will be to
correctly apply CAP_SYS_NICE or RLIMIT_RT_PRIO,
for now it seems reasonable to not check permissions
on the restore path.

The BINDER_GET_NODE_DEBUG_INFO ioctl will return debug info on
a node. Each successive call reusing the previous return value
will return the next node. The data will be used by
libmemunreachable to mark the pointers with kernel references

sugov_update_commit() calls trace_cpu_frequency() to record the
current CPU frequency if it has not changed in the fast switch case
to prevent utilities from getting confused (they may report that the
CPU is idle if the frequency has not been recorded for too long, for
example).
However, that may cause the tracepoint to be triggered quite often
for no real reason (if the frequency doesn't change, we will not
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

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.
