During scx_ops_enable(), SCX needs to invoke the sleepable ops.init_task()
on every task. To do this, it does get_task_struct() on each iterated task,
drop the lock and then call ops.init_task().
However, a TASK_DEAD task may already have lost all its usage count and be
waiting for RCU grace period to be freed. If get_task_struct() is called on
such task, use-after-free can happen. To avoid such situations,
scx_ops_enable() skips initialization of TASK_DEAD tasks, which seems safe
as they are never going to be scheduled again.
Unfortunately, a racing sched_setscheduler(2) can grab the task before the
task is unhashed and then continue to e.g. move the task from RT to SCX
after TASK_DEAD is set and ops_enable skipped the task. As the task hasn't
gone through scx_ops_init_task(), scx_ops_enable_task() called from
switching_to_scx() triggers the following warning:
sched_ext: Invalid task state transition 0 -> 3 for stress-ng-race-[2872]
WARNING: CPU: 6 PID: 2367 at kernel/sched/ext.c:3327 scx_ops_enable_task+0x18f/0x1f0

As in the ops_disable path, it just doesn't seem like a good idea to leave
any task in an inconsistent state, even when the task is dead. The root
cause is ops_enable not being able to tell reliably whether a task is truly
dead (no one else is looking at it and it's about to be freed) and was
testing TASK_DEAD instead. Fix it by testing the task's usage count
directly.
- ops_init no longer ignores TASK_DEAD tasks. As now all users iterate all
tasks, @include_dead is removed from scx_task_iter_next_locked() along
with dead task filtering.
- tryget_task_struct() is added. Tasks are skipped iff tryget_task_struct()
fails.

SCX_TASK_BAL_KEEP is used by balance_one() to tell pick_next_task_scx() to
keep running the current task. It's not really a task property. Replace it
with SCX_RQ_BAL_KEEP which resides in rq->scx.flags and is a better fit for
the usage. Also, the existing clearing rule is unnecessarily strict and
makes it difficult to use with core-sched. Just clear it on entry to
balance_one().

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.

p->scx.disallow provides a way for the BPF scheduler to reject certain tasks
from attaching. It's currently allowed for both the load and fork paths;
however, the latter doesn't actually work as p->sched_class is already set
by the time scx_ops_init_task() is called during fork.
This is a convenience feature which is mostly useful from the load path
anyway. Allow it only from the load path.
v2: Trigger scx_ops_error() iff @p->policy == SCHED_EXT to make it a bit
easier for the BPF scheduler (David).

We currently only allow calling sleepable scx kfuncs (i.e.
scx_bpf_create_dsq()) from BPF_PROG_TYPE_STRUCT_OPS progs. The idea here
was that we'd never have to call scx_bpf_create_dsq() outside of a
sched_ext struct_ops callback, but that might not actually be true. For
example, a scheduler could do something like the following:
1. Open and load (not yet attach) a scheduler skel
2. Synchronously call into a BPF_PROG_TYPE_SYSCALL prog from user space.
For example, to initialize an LLC domain, or some other global,
read-only state.
3. Attach the skel, which actually enables the scheduler
The advantage of doing this is that it can preclude having to do pretty
ugly boilerplate like initializing a read-only, statically sized array of
u64[]'s which the kernel consumes literally once at init time to then
create struct bpf_cpumask objects which are actually queried at runtime.
Doing the above is already possible given that we can invoke core BPF
kfuncs, such as bpf_cpumask_create(), from BPF_PROG_TYPE_SYSCALL progs. We
already allow many scx kfuncs to be called from BPF_PROG_TYPE_SYSCALL progs
(e.g. scx_bpf_kick_cpu()). Let's allow the sleepable kfuncs as well.

DSQs are very opaque in the consumption path. The BPF scheduler has no way
of knowing which tasks are being considered and which is picked. This patch
adds BPF DSQ iterator.
- Allows iterating tasks queued on a DSQ in the dispatch order or reverse
from anywhere using bpf_for_each(scx_dsq) or calling the iterator kfuncs
directly.
- Has ordering guarantee where only tasks which were already queued when the
iteration started are visible and consumable during the iteration.
v5: - Add a comment to the naked list_empty(&dsq->list) test in
consume_dispatch_q() to explain the reasoning behind the lockless test
and by extension why nldsq_next_task() isn't used there.
- scx_qmap changes separated into its own patch.
v4: - bpf_iter_scx_dsq_new() declaration in common.bpf.h was using the wrong
type for the last argument (bool rev instead of u64 flags). Fix it.
v3: - Alexei pointed out that the iterator is too big to allocate on stack.
Added a prep patch to reduce the size of the cursor. Now
bpf_iter_scx_dsq is 48 bytes and bpf_iter_scx_dsq_kern is 40 bytes on
64bit.
- u32_before() comparison factored out.
v2: - scx_bpf_consume_task() is separated out into a separate patch.
- DSQ seq and iter flags don't need to be u64. Use u32.

struct scx_dsq_node contains two data structure nodes to link the containing
task to a DSQ and a flags field that is protected by the lock of the
associated DSQ. One reason why they are grouped into a struct is to use the
type independently as a cursor node when iterating tasks on a DSQ. However,
when iterating, the cursor only needs to be linked on the FIFO list and the
rb_node part ends up inflating the size of the iterator data structure
unnecessarily making it potentially too expensive to place it on stack.
Take ->priq and ->flags out of scx_dsq_node and put them in sched_ext_entity
as ->dsq_priq and ->dsq_flags, respectively. scx_dsq_node is renamed to
scx_dsq_list_node and the field names are renamed accordingly. This will
help implementing DSQ task iterator that can be allocated on stack.
No functional change intended.

Currently, a dsq is always a FIFO. A task which is dispatched earlier gets
consumed or executed earlier. While this is sufficient when dsq's are used
for simple staging areas for tasks which are ready to execute, it'd make
dsq's a lot more useful if they can implement custom ordering.
This patch adds a vtime-ordered priority queue to dsq's. When the BPF
scheduler dispatches a task with the new scx_bpf_dispatch_vtime() helper, it
can specify the vtime tha the task should be inserted at and the task is
inserted into the priority queue in the dsq which is ordered according to
time_before64() comparison of the vtime values.
A DSQ can either be a FIFO or priority queue and automatically switches
between the two depending on whether scx_bpf_dispatch() or
scx_bpf_dispatch_vtime() is used. Using the wrong variant while the DSQ
already has the other type queued is not allowed and triggers an ops error.
Built-in DSQs must always be FIFOs.
This makes it very easy for the BPF schedulers to implement proper vtime
based scheduling within each dsq very easy and efficient at a negligible
cost in terms of code complexity and overhead.
scx_simple and scx_example_flatcg are updated to default to weighted
vtime scheduling (the latter within each cgroup). FIFO scheduling can be
selected with -f option.
v4: - As allowing mixing priority queue and FIFO on the same DSQ sometimes
led to unexpected starvations, DSQs now error out if both modes are
used at the same time and the built-in DSQs are no longer allowed to
be priority queues.
- Explicit type struct scx_dsq_node added to contain fields needed to be
linked on DSQs. This will be used to implement stateful iterator.
- Tasks are now always linked on dsq->list whether the DSQ is in FIFO or
PRIQ mode. This confines PRIQ related complexities to the enqueue and
dequeue paths. Other paths only need to look at dsq->list. This will
also ease implementing BPF iterator.
- Print p->scx.dsq_flags in debug dump.
v3: - SCX_TASK_DSQ_ON_PRIQ flag is moved from p->scx.flags into its own
p->scx.dsq_flags. The flag is protected with the dsq lock unlike other
flags in p->scx.flags. This led to flag corruption in some cases.
- Add comments explaining the interaction between using consumption of
p->scx.slice to determine vtime progress and yielding.
v2: - p->scx.dsq_vtime was not initialized on load or across cgroup
migrations leading to some tasks being stalled for extended period of
time depending on how saturated the machine is. Fixed.

The core-sched support is composed of the following parts:
- task_struct->scx.core_sched_at is added. This is a timestamp which can be
used to order tasks. Depending on whether the BPF scheduler implements
custom ordering, it tracks either global FIFO ordering of all tasks or
local-DSQ ordering within the dispatched tasks on a CPU.
- prio_less() is updated to call scx_prio_less() when comparing SCX tasks.
scx_prio_less() calls ops.core_sched_before() if available or uses the
core_sched_at timestamp. For global FIFO ordering, the BPF scheduler
doesn't need to do anything. Otherwise, it should implement
ops.core_sched_before() which reflects the ordering.
- When core-sched is enabled, balance_scx() balances all SMT siblings so
that they all have tasks dispatched if necessary before pick_task_scx() is
called. pick_task_scx() picks between the current task and the first
dispatched task on the local DSQ based on availability and the
core_sched_at timestamps. Note that FIFO ordering is expected among the
already dispatched tasks whether running or on the local DSQ, so this path
always compares core_sched_at instead of calling into
ops.core_sched_before().
qmap_core_sched_before() is added to scx_qmap. It scales the
distances from the heads of the queues to compare the tasks across different
priority queues and seems to behave as expected.
v3: Fixed build error when !CONFIG_SCHED_SMT reported by Andrea Righi.
v2: Sched core added the const qualifiers to prio_less task arguments.
Explicitly drop them for ops.core_sched_before() task arguments. BPF
enforces access control through the verifier, so the qualifier isn't
actually operative and only gets in the way when interacting with
various helpers.

Scheduler classes are strictly ordered and when a higher priority class has
tasks to run, the lower priority ones lose access to the CPU. Being able to
monitor and act on these events are necessary for use cases includling
strict core-scheduling and latency management.
This patch adds two operations ops.cpu_acquire() and .cpu_release(). The
former is invoked when a CPU becomes available to the BPF scheduler and the
opposite for the latter. This patch also implements
scx_bpf_reenqueue_local() which can be called from .cpu_release() to trigger
requeueing of all tasks in the local dsq of the CPU so that the tasks can be
reassigned to other available CPUs.
scx_pair is updated to use .cpu_acquire/release() along with
%SCX_KICK_WAIT to make the pair scheduling guarantee strict even when a CPU
is preempted by a higher priority scheduler class.
scx_qmap is updated to use .cpu_acquire/release() to empty the local
dsq of a preempted CPU. A similar approach can be adopted by BPF schedulers
that want to have a tight control over latency.
v4: Use the new SCX_KICK_IDLE to wake up a CPU after re-enqueueing.
v3: Drop the const qualifier from scx_cpu_release_args.task. BPF enforces
access control through the verifier, so the qualifier isn't actually
operative and only gets in the way when interacting with various
helpers.

When some SCX operations are in flight, it is known that the subject task's
rq lock is held throughout which makes it safe to access certain fields of
the task - e.g. its current task_group. We want to add SCX kfunc helpers
that can make use of this guarantee - e.g. to help determining the currently
associated CPU cgroup from the task's current task_group.
As it'd be dangerous call such a helper on a task which isn't rq lock
protected, the helper should be able to verify the input task and reject
accordingly. This patch adds sched_ext_entity.kf_tasks[] that track the
tasks which are currently being operated on by a terminal SCX operation. The
new SCX_CALL_OP_[2]TASK[_RET]() can be used when invoking SCX operations
which take tasks as arguments and the scx_kf_allowed_on_arg_tasks() can be
used by kfunc helpers to verify the input task status.
Note that as sched_ext_entity.kf_tasks[] can't handle nesting, the tracking
is currently only limited to terminal SCX operations. If needed in the
future, this restriction can be removed by moving the tracking to the task
side with a couple per-task counters.

Allow BPF schedulers to indicate tickless operation by setting p->scx.slice
to SCX_SLICE_INF. A CPU whose current task has infinte slice goes into
tickless operation.
scx_central is updated to use tickless operations for all tasks and
instead use a BPF timer to expire slices. This also uses the SCX_ENQ_PREEMPT
and task state tracking added by the previous patches.
Currently, there is no way to pin the timer on the central CPU, so it may
end up on one of the worker CPUs; however, outside of that, the worker CPUs
can go tickless both while running sched_ext tasks and idling.
With schbench running, scx_central shows:
root@test ~# grep ^LOC /proc/interrupts; sleep 10; grep ^LOC /proc/interrupts
LOC: 142024 656 664 449 Local timer interrupts
LOC: 161663 663 665 449 Local timer interrupts

While scx_central itself is too barebone to be useful as a
production scheduler, a more featureful central scheduler can be built using
the same approach. Google's experience shows that such an approach can have
significant benefits for certain applications such as VM hosting.

It's often useful to wake up and/or trigger reschedule on other CPUs. This
patch adds scx_bpf_kick_cpu() kfunc helper that BPF scheduler can call to
kick the target CPU into the scheduling path.
As a sched_ext task relinquishes its CPU only after its slice is depleted,
this patch also adds SCX_KICK_PREEMPT and SCX_ENQ_PREEMPT which clears the
slice of the target CPU's current task to guarantee that sched_ext's
scheduling path runs on the CPU.
If SCX_KICK_IDLE is specified, the target CPU is kicked iff the CPU is idle
to guarantee that the target CPU will go through at least one full sched_ext
scheduling cycle after the kicking. This can be used to wake up idle CPUs
without incurring unnecessary overhead if it isn't currently idle.
As a demonstration of how backward compatibility can be supported using BPF
CO-RE, tools/sched_ext/include/scx/compat.bpf.h is added. It provides
__COMPAT_scx_bpf_kick_cpu_IDLE() which uses SCX_KICK_IDLE if available or
becomes a regular kicking otherwise. This allows schedulers to use the new
SCX_KICK_IDLE while maintaining support for older kernels. The plan is to
temporarily use compat helpers to ease API updates and drop them after a few
kernel releases.
v5: - SCX_KICK_IDLE added. Note that this also adds a compat mechanism for
schedulers so that they can support kernels without SCX_KICK_IDLE.
This is useful as a demonstration of how new feature flags can be
added in a backward compatible way.
- kick_cpus_irq_workfn() reimplemented so that it touches the pending
cpumasks only as necessary to reduce kicking overhead on machines with
a lot of CPUs.
- tools/sched_ext/include/scx/compat.bpf.h added.
v4: - Move example scheduler to its own patch.
v3: - Make scx_example_central switch all tasks by default.
- Convert to BPF inline iterators.
v2: - Julia Lawall reported that scx_example_central can overflow the
dispatch buffer and malfunction. As scheduling for other CPUs can't be
handled by the automatic retry mechanism, fix by implementing an
explicit overflow and retry handling.
- Updated to use generic BPF cpumask helpers.

ops.prep_enable() guarantees that the task can never be scheduled by
sched_ext.
scx_qmap is updated with the -d option to disallow a specific PID:
# echo $$
1092
# grep -E '(policy)|(ext\.enabled)' /proc/self/sched
policy : 0
ext.enabled : 0
# ./set-scx 1092
# grep -E '(policy)|(ext\.enabled)' /proc/self/sched
policy : 7
ext.enabled : 0
Run "scx_qmap -p -d 1092" in another terminal.
# cat /sys/kernel/sched_ext/nr_rejected
1
# grep -E '(policy)|(ext\.enabled)' /proc/self/sched
policy : 0
ext.enabled : 0
# ./set-scx 1092
setparam failed for 1092 (Permission denied)
- v4: Refreshed on top of tip:sched/core.
- v3: Update description to reflect /sys/kernel/sched_ext interface change.
- v2: Use atomic_long_t instead of atomic64_t for scx_kick_cpus_pnt_seqs to
accommodate 32bit archs.

The most common and critical way that a BPF scheduler can misbehave is by
failing to run runnable tasks for too long. This patch implements a
watchdog.
* All tasks record when they become runnable.
* A watchdog work periodically scans all runnable tasks. If any task has
stayed runnable for too long, the BPF scheduler is aborted.
* scheduler_tick() monitors whether the watchdog itself is stuck. If so, the
BPF scheduler is aborted.
Because the watchdog only scans the tasks which are currently runnable and
usually very infrequently, the overhead should be negligible.
scx_qmap is updated so that it can be told to stall user and/or
kernel tasks.
A detected task stall looks like the following:
sched_ext: BPF scheduler "qmap" errored, disabling
sched_ext: runnable task stall (dbus-daemon[953] failed to run for 6.478s)

Note that this patch exposes scx_ops_error[_type]() in kernel/sched/ext.h to
inline scx_notify_sched_tick().
v4: - While disabling, cancel_delayed_work_sync(&scx_watchdog_work) was
being called before forward progress was guaranteed and thus could
lead to system lockup. Relocated.
- While enabling, it was comparing msecs against jiffies without
conversion leading to spurious load failures on lower HZ kernels.
Fixed.
- runnable list management is now used by core bypass logic and moved to
the patch implementing sched_ext core.
v3: - bpf_scx_init_member() was incorrectly comparing ops->timeout_ms
against SCX_WATCHDOG_MAX_TIMEOUT which is in jiffies without
conversion leading to spurious load failures in lower HZ kernels.
Fixed.
v2: - Julia Lawall noticed that the watchdog code was mixing msecs and
jiffies. Fix by using jiffies for everything.

Implement a new scheduler class sched_ext (SCX), which allows scheduling
policies to be implemented as BPF programs to achieve the following:
1. Ease of experimentation and exploration: Enabling rapid iteration of new
scheduling policies.
2. Customization: Building application-specific schedulers which implement
policies that are not applicable to general-purpose schedulers.
3. Rapid scheduler deployments: Non-disruptive swap outs of scheduling
policies in production environments.
sched_ext leverages BPF’s struct_ops feature to define a structure which
exports function callbacks and flags to BPF programs that wish to implement
scheduling policies. The struct_ops structure exported by sched_ext is
struct sched_ext_ops, and is conceptually similar to struct sched_class. The
role of sched_ext is to map the complex sched_class callbacks to the more
simple and ergonomic struct sched_ext_ops callbacks.
For more detailed discussion on the motivations and overview, please refer
to the cover letter.
Later patches will also add several example schedulers and documentation.
This patch implements the minimum core framework to enable implementation of
BPF schedulers. Subsequent patches will gradually add functionalities
including safety guarantee mechanisms, nohz and cgroup support.
include/linux/sched/ext.h defines struct sched_ext_ops. With the comment on
top, each operation should be self-explanatory. The followings are worth
noting:
- Both "sched_ext" and its shorthand "scx" are used. If the identifier
already has "sched" in it, "ext" is used; otherwise, "scx".
- In sched_ext_ops, only .name is mandatory. Every operation is optional and
if omitted a simple but functional default behavior is provided.
- A new policy constant SCHED_EXT is added and a task can select sched_ext
by invoking sched_setscheduler(2) with the new policy constant. However,
if the BPF scheduler is not loaded, SCHED_EXT is the same as SCHED_NORMAL
and the task is scheduled by CFS. When the BPF scheduler is loaded, all
tasks which have the SCHED_EXT policy are switched to sched_ext.
- To bridge the workflow imbalance between the scheduler core and
sched_ext_ops callbacks, sched_ext uses simple FIFOs called dispatch
queues (dsq's). By default, there is one global dsq (SCX_DSQ_GLOBAL), and
one local per-CPU dsq (SCX_DSQ_LOCAL). SCX_DSQ_GLOBAL is provided for
convenience and need not be used by a scheduler that doesn't require it.
SCX_DSQ_LOCAL is the per-CPU FIFO that sched_ext pulls from when putting
the next task on the CPU. The BPF scheduler can manage an arbitrary number
of dsq's using scx_bpf_create_dsq() and scx_bpf_destroy_dsq().
- sched_ext guarantees system integrity no matter what the BPF scheduler
does. To enable this, each task's ownership is tracked through
p->scx.ops_state and all tasks are put on scx_tasks list. The disable path
can always recover and revert all tasks back to CFS. See p->scx.ops_state
and scx_tasks.
- A task is not tied to its rq while enqueued. This decouples CPU selection
from queueing and allows sharing a scheduling queue across an arbitrary
subset of CPUs. This adds some complexities as a task may need to be
bounced between rq's right before it starts executing. See
dispatch_to_local_dsq() and move_task_to_local_dsq().
- One complication that arises from the above weak association between task
and rq is that synchronizing with dequeue() gets complicated as dequeue()
may happen anytime while the task is enqueued and the dispatch path might
need to release the rq lock to transfer the task. Solving this requires a
bit of complexity. See the logic around p->scx.sticky_cpu and
p->scx.ops_qseq.
- Both enable and disable paths are a bit complicated. The enable path
switches all tasks without blocking to avoid issues which can arise from
partially switched states (e.g. the switching task itself being starved).
The disable path can't trust the BPF scheduler at all, so it also has to
guarantee forward progress without blocking. See scx_ops_enable() and
scx_ops_disable_workfn().
- When sched_ext is disabled, static_branches are used to shut down the
entry points from hot paths.
v7: - scx_ops_bypass() was incorrectly and unnecessarily trying to grab
scx_ops_enable_mutex which can lead to deadlocks in the disable path.
Fixed.
- Fixed TASK_DEAD handling bug in scx_ops_enable() path which could lead
to use-after-free.
- Consolidated per-cpu variable usages and other cleanups.
v6: - SCX_NR_ONLINE_OPS replaced with SCX_OPI_*_BEGIN/END so that multiple
groups can be expressed. Later CPU hotplug operations are put into
their own group.
- SCX_OPS_DISABLING state is replaced with the new bypass mechanism
which allows temporarily putting the system into simple FIFO
scheduling mode bypassing the BPF scheduler. In addition to the shut
down path, this will also be used to isolate the BPF scheduler across
PM events. Enabling and disabling the bypass mode requires iterating
all runnable tasks. rq->scx.runnable_list addition is moved from the
later watchdog patch.
- ops.prep_enable() is replaced with ops.init_task() and
ops.enable/disable() are now called whenever the task enters and
leaves sched_ext instead of when the task becomes schedulable on
sched_ext and stops being so. A new operation - ops.exit_task() - is
called when the task stops being schedulable on sched_ext.
- scx_bpf_dispatch() can now be called from ops.select_cpu() too. This
removes the need for communicating local dispatch decision made by
ops.select_cpu() to ops.enqueue() via per-task storage.
SCX_KF_SELECT_CPU is added to support the change.
- SCX_TASK_ENQ_LOCAL which told the BPF scheudler that
scx_select_cpu_dfl() wants the task to be dispatched to the local DSQ
was removed. Instead, scx_bpf_select_cpu_dfl() now dispatches directly
if it finds a suitable idle CPU. If such behavior is not desired,
users can use scx_bpf_select_cpu_dfl() which returns the verdict in a
bool out param.
- scx_select_cpu_dfl() was mishandling WAKE_SYNC and could end up
queueing many tasks on a local DSQ which makes tasks to execute in
order while other CPUs stay idle which made some hackbench numbers
really bad. Fixed.
- The current state of sched_ext can now be monitored through files
under /sys/sched_ext instead of /sys/kernel/debug/sched/ext. This is
to enable monitoring on kernels which don't enable debugfs.
- sched_ext wasn't telling BPF that ops.dispatch()'s @prev argument may
be NULL and a BPF scheduler which derefs the pointer without checking
could crash the kernel. Tell BPF. This is currently a bit ugly. A
better way to annotate this is expected in the future.
- scx_exit_info updated to carry pointers to message buffers instead of
embedding them directly. This decouples buffer sizes from API so that
they can be changed without breaking compatibility.
- exit_code added to scx_exit_info. This is used to indicate different
exit conditions on non-error exits and will be used to handle e.g. CPU
hotplugs.
- The patch "sched_ext: Allow BPF schedulers to switch all eligible
tasks into sched_ext" is folded in and the interface is changed so
that partial switching is indicated with a new ops flag
%SCX_OPS_SWITCH_PARTIAL. This makes scx_bpf_switch_all() unnecessasry
and in turn SCX_KF_INIT. ops.init() is now called with
SCX_KF_SLEEPABLE.
- Code reorganized so that only the parts necessary to integrate with
the rest of the kernel are in the header files.
- Changes to reflect the BPF and other kernel changes including the
addition of bpf_sched_ext_ops.cfi_stubs.
v5: - To accommodate 32bit configs, p->scx.ops_state is now atomic_long_t
instead of atomic64_t and scx_dsp_buf_ent.qseq which uses
load_acquire/store_release is now unsigned long instead of u64.
- Fix the bug where bpf_scx_btf_struct_access() was allowing write
access to arbitrary fields.
- Distinguish kfuncs which can be called from any sched_ext ops and from
anywhere. e.g. scx_bpf_pick_idle_cpu() can now be called only from
sched_ext ops.
- Rename "type" to "kind" in scx_exit_info to make it easier to use on
languages in which "type" is a reserved keyword.
- Since cff9b2332ab7 ("kernel/sched: Modify initial boot task idle
setup"), PF_IDLE is not set on idle tasks which haven't been online
yet which made scx_task_iter_next_filtered() include those idle tasks
in iterations leading to oopses. Update scx_task_iter_next_filtered()
to directly test p->sched_class against idle_sched_class instead of
using is_idle_task() which tests PF_IDLE.
- Other updates to match upstream changes such as adding const to
set_cpumask() param and renaming check_preempt_curr() to
wakeup_preempt().
v4: - SCHED_CHANGE_BLOCK replaced with the previous
sched_deq_and_put_task()/sched_enq_and_set_tsak() pair. This is
because upstream is adaopting a different generic cleanup mechanism.
Once that lands, the code will be adapted accordingly.
- task_on_scx() used to test whether a task should be switched into SCX,
which is confusing. Renamed to task_should_scx(). task_on_scx() now
tests whether a task is currently on SCX.
- scx_has_idle_cpus is barely used anymore and replaced with direct
check on the idle cpumask.
- SCX_PICK_IDLE_CORE added and scx_pick_idle_cpu() improved to prefer
fully idle cores.
- ops.enable() now sees up-to-date p->scx.weight value.
- ttwu_queue path is disabled for tasks on SCX to avoid confusing BPF
schedulers expecting ->select_cpu() call.
- Use cpu_smt_mask() instead of topology_sibling_cpumask() like the rest
of the scheduler.
v3: - ops.set_weight() added to allow BPF schedulers to track weight changes
without polling p->scx.weight.
- move_task_to_local_dsq() was losing SCX-specific enq_flags when
enqueueing the task on the target dsq because it goes through
activate_task() which loses the upper 32bit of the flags. Carry the
flags through rq->scx.extra_enq_flags.
- scx_bpf_dispatch(), scx_bpf_pick_idle_cpu(), scx_bpf_task_running()
and scx_bpf_task_cpu() now use the new KF_RCU instead of
KF_TRUSTED_ARGS to make it easier for BPF schedulers to call them.
- The kfunc helper access control mechanism implemented through
sched_ext_entity.kf_mask is improved. Now SCX_CALL_OP*() is always
used when invoking scx_ops operations.
v2: - balance_scx_on_up() is dropped. Instead, on UP, balance_scx() is
called from put_prev_taks_scx() and pick_next_task_scx() as necessary.
To determine whether balance_scx() should be called from
put_prev_task_scx(), SCX_TASK_DEQD_FOR_SLEEP flag is added. See the
comment in put_prev_task_scx() for details.
- sched_deq_and_put_task() / sched_enq_and_set_task() sequences replaced
with SCHED_CHANGE_BLOCK().
- Unused all_dsqs list removed. This was a left-over from previous
iterations.
- p->scx.kf_mask is added to track and enforce which kfunc helpers are
allowed. Also, init/exit sequences are updated to make some kfuncs
always safe to call regardless of the current BPF scheduler state.
Combined, this should make all the kfuncs safe.
- BPF now supports sleepable struct_ops operations. Hacky workaround
removed and operations and kfunc helpers are tagged appropriately.
- BPF now supports bitmask / cpumask helpers. scx_bpf_get_idle_cpumask()
and friends are added so that BPF schedulers can use the idle masks
with the generic helpers. This replaces the hacky kfunc helpers added
by a separate patch in V1.
- CONFIG_SCHED_CLASS_EXT can no longer be enabled if SCHED_CORE is
enabled. This restriction will be removed by a later patch which adds
core-sched support.
- Add MAINTAINERS entries and other misc changes.

This adds dummy implementations of sched_ext interfaces which interact with
the scheduler core and hook them in the correct places. As they're all
dummies, this doesn't cause any behavior changes. This is split out to help
reviewing.

A new BPF extensible sched_class will need more control over the forking
process. It wants to be able to fail from sched_cgroup_fork() after the new
task's sched_task_group is initialized so that the loaded BPF program can
prepare the task with its cgroup association is established and reject fork
if e.g. allocation fails.
Allow sched_cgroup_fork() to fail by making it return int instead of void
and adding sched_cancel_fork() to undo sched_fork() in the error path.
sched_cgroup_fork() doesn't fail yet and this patch shouldn't cause any
behavior changes.
v2: Patch description updated to detail the expected use.

Instead of lingering until the device is closed, this has us handle
SIGKILL by:
1. marking the worker as killed so we no longer try to use it with
new virtqueues and new flush operations.
2. setting the virtqueue to worker mapping so no new works are queued.
3. running all the exiting works.

When memory is being placed, mmap() will take care to respect the guard
gaps of certain types of memory (VM_SHADOWSTACK, VM_GROWSUP and
VM_GROWSDOWN). In order to ensure guard gaps between mappings, mmap()
needs to consider two things:
1. That the new mapping isn't placed in an any existing mappings guard
gaps.
2. That the new mapping isn't placed such that any existing mappings
are not in *its* guard gaps.
The longstanding behavior of mmap() is to ensure 1, but not take any care
around 2. So for example, if there is a PAGE_SIZE free area, and a mmap()
with a PAGE_SIZE size, and a type that has a guard gap is being placed,
mmap() may place the shadow stack in the PAGE_SIZE free area. Then the
mapping that is supposed to have a guard gap will not have a gap to the
adjacent VMA.
In order to take the start gap into account, the maple tree search needs
to know the size of start gap the new mapping will need. The call chain
from do_mmap() to the actual maple tree search looks like this:
do_mmap(size, vm_flags, map_flags, ..)
mm/mmap.c:get_unmapped_area(size, map_flags, ...)
arch_get_unmapped_area(size, map_flags, ...)
vm_unmapped_area(struct vm_unmapped_area_info)
One option would be to add another MAP_ flag to mean a one page start gap
(as is for shadow stack), but this consumes a flag unnecessarily. Another
option could be to simply increase the size passed in do_mmap() by the
start gap size, and adjust after the fact, but this will interfere with
the alignment requirements passed in struct vm_unmapped_area_info, and
unknown to mmap.c. Instead, introduce variants of
arch_get_unmapped_area/_topdown() that take vm_flags. In future changes,
these variants can be used in mmap.c:get_unmapped_area() to allow the
vm_flags to be passed through to vm_unmapped_area(), while preserving the
normal arch_get_unmapped_area/_topdown() for the existing callers.

The mm_struct contains a function pointer *get_unmapped_area(), which is
set to either arch_get_unmapped_area() or arch_get_unmapped_area_topdown()
during the initialization of the mm.
Since the function pointer only ever points to two functions that are
named the same across all arch's, a function pointer is not really
required. In addition future changes will want to add versions of the
functions that take additional arguments. So to save a pointers worth of
bytes in mm_struct, and prevent adding additional function pointers to
mm_struct in future changes, remove it and keep the information about
which get_unmapped_area() to use in a flag.
Add the new flag to MMF_INIT_MASK so it doesn't get clobbered on fork by
mmf_init_flags(). Most MM flags get clobbered on fork. In the
pre-existing behavior mm->get_unmapped_area() would get copied to the new
mm in dup_mm(), so not clobbering the flag preserves the existing behavior
around inheriting the topdown-ness.
Introduce a helper, mm_get_unmapped_area(), to easily convert code that
refers to the old function pointer to instead select and call either
arch_get_unmapped_area() or arch_get_unmapped_area_topdown() based on the
flag. Then drop the mm->get_unmapped_area() function pointer. Leave the
get_unmapped_area() pointer in struct file_operations alone. The main
purpose of this change is to reorganize in preparation for future changes,
but it also converts the calls of mm->get_unmapped_area() from indirect
branches into a direct ones.
The stress-ng bigheap benchmark calls realloc a lot, which calls through
get_unmapped_area() in the kernel. On x86, the change yielded a ~1%
improvement there on a retpoline config.
In testing a few x86 configs, removing the pointer unfortunately didn't
result in any actual size reductions in the compiled layout of mm_struct.
But depending on compiler or arch alignment requirements, the change could
shrink the size of mm_struct.

arch_update_hw_pressure()
Now that cpufreq provides a pressure value to the scheduler, rename
arch_update_thermal_pressure into HW pressure to reflect that it returns
a pressure applied by HW (i.e. with a high frequency change) and not
always related to thermal mitigation but also generated by max current
limitation as an example. Such high frequency signal needs filtering to be
smoothed and provide an value that reflects the average available capacity
into the scheduler time scale.

Pull MM updates from Andrew Morton:
- Sumanth Korikkar has taught s390 to allocate hotplug-time page frames
from hotplugged memory rather than only from main memory. Series
"implement "memmap on memory" feature on s390".
- More folio conversions from Matthew Wilcox in the series
"Convert memcontrol charge moving to use folios"
"mm: convert mm counter to take a folio"
- Chengming Zhou has optimized zswap's rbtree locking, providing
significant reductions in system time and modest but measurable
reductions in overall runtimes. The series is "mm/zswap: optimize the
scalability of zswap rb-tree".
- Chengming Zhou has also provided the series "mm/zswap: optimize zswap
lru list" which provides measurable runtime benefits in some
swap-intensive situations.
- And Chengming Zhou further optimizes zswap in the series "mm/zswap:
optimize for dynamic zswap_pools". Measured improvements are modest.
- zswap cleanups and simplifications from Yosry Ahmed in the series
"mm: zswap: simplify zswap_swapoff()".
- In the series "Add DAX ABI for memmap_on_memory", Vishal Verma has
contributed several DAX cleanups as well as adding a sysfs tunable to
control the memmap_on_memory setting when the dax device is
hotplugged as system memory.
- Johannes Weiner has added the large series "mm: zswap: cleanups",
which does that.
- More DAMON work from SeongJae Park in the series
"mm/damon: make DAMON debugfs interface deprecation unignorable"
"selftests/damon: add more tests for core functionalities and corner cases"
"Docs/mm/damon: misc readability improvements"
"mm/damon: let DAMOS feeds and tame/auto-tune itself"
- In the series "mm/mempolicy: weighted interleave mempolicy and sysfs
extension" Rakie Kim has developed a new mempolicy interleaving
policy wherein we allocate memory across nodes in a weighted fashion
rather than uniformly. This is beneficial in heterogeneous memory
environments appearing with CXL.
- Christophe Leroy has contributed some cleanup and consolidation work
against the ARM pagetable dumping code in the series "mm: ptdump:
Refactor CONFIG_DEBUG_WX and check_wx_pages debugfs attribute".
- Luis Chamberlain has added some additional xarray selftesting in the
series "test_xarray: advanced API multi-index tests".
- Muhammad Usama Anjum has reworked the selftest code to make its
human-readable output conform to the TAP ("Test Anything Protocol")
format. Amongst other things, this opens up the use of third-party
tools to parse and process out selftesting results.
- Ryan Roberts has added fork()-time PTE batching of THP ptes in the
series "mm/memory: optimize fork() with PTE-mapped THP". Mainly
targeted at arm64, this significantly speeds up fork() when the
process has a large number of pte-mapped folios.
- David Hildenbrand also gets in on the THP pte batching game in his
series "mm/memory: optimize unmap/zap with PTE-mapped THP". It
implements batching during munmap() and other pte teardown
situations. The microbenchmark improvements are nice.
- And in the series "Transparent Contiguous PTEs for User Mappings"
Ryan Roberts further utilizes arm's pte's contiguous bit ("contpte
mappings"). Kernel build times on arm64 improved nicely. Ryan's
series "Address some contpte nits" provides some followup work.
- In the series "mm/hugetlb: Restore the reservation" Breno Leitao has
fixed an obscure hugetlb race which was causing unnecessary page
faults. He has also added a reproducer under the selftest code.
- In the series "selftests/mm: Output cleanups for the compaction
test", Mark Brown did what the title claims.
- Kinsey Ho has added the series "mm/mglru: code cleanup and
refactoring".
- Even more zswap material from Nhat Pham. The series "fix and extend
zswap kselftests" does as claimed.
- In the series "Introduce cpu_dcache_is_aliasing() to fix DAX
regression" Mathieu Desnoyers has cleaned up and fixed rather a mess
in our handling of DAX on archiecctures which have virtually aliasing
data caches. The arm architecture is the main beneficiary.
- Lokesh Gidra's series "per-vma locks in userfaultfd" provides
dramatic improvements in worst-case mmap_lock hold times during
certain userfaultfd operations.
- Some page_owner enhancements and maintenance work from Oscar Salvador
in his series
"page_owner: print stacks and their outstanding allocations"
"page_owner: Fixup and cleanup"
- Uladzislau Rezki has contributed some vmalloc scalability
improvements in his series "Mitigate a vmap lock contention". It
realizes a 12x improvement for a certain microbenchmark.
- Some kexec/crash cleanup work from Baoquan He in the series "Split
crash out from kexec and clean up related config items".
- Some zsmalloc maintenance work from Chengming Zhou in the series
"mm/zsmalloc: fix and optimize objects/page migration"
"mm/zsmalloc: some cleanup for get/set_zspage_mapping()"
- Zi Yan has taught the MM to perform compaction on folios larger than
order=0. This a step along the path to implementaton of the merging
of large anonymous folios. The series is named "Enable >0 order folio
memory compaction".
- Christoph Hellwig has done quite a lot of cleanup work in the
pagecache writeback code in his series "convert write_cache_pages()
to an iterator".
- Some modest hugetlb cleanups and speedups in Vishal Moola's series
"Handle hugetlb faults under the VMA lock".
- Zi Yan has changed the page splitting code so we can split huge pages
into sizes other than order-0 to better utilize large folios. The
series is named "Split a folio to any lower order folios".
- David Hildenbrand has contributed the series "mm: remove
total_mapcount()", a cleanup.
- Matthew Wilcox has sought to improve the performance of bulk memory
freeing in his series "Rearrange batched folio freeing".
- Gang Li's series "hugetlb: parallelize hugetlb page init on boot"
provides large improvements in bootup times on large machines which
are configured to use large numbers of hugetlb pages.
- Matthew Wilcox's series "PageFlags cleanups" does that.
- Qi Zheng's series "minor fixes and supplement for ptdesc" does that
also. S390 is affected.
- Cleanups to our pagemap utility functions from Peter Xu in his series
"mm/treewide: Replace pXd_large() with pXd_leaf()".
- Nico Pache has fixed a few things with our hugepage selftests in his
series "selftests/mm: Improve Hugepage Test Handling in MM
Selftests".
- Also, of course, many singleton patches to many things. Please see
the individual changelogs for details.

Standardize scheduler load-balancing function names on the
sched_balance_() prefix.
Also load_balance() has become somewhat of a misnomer: historically
it was the first and primary load-balancing function that was called,
but with the introduction of sched domains, it's become a lower
layer function that balances runqueues.
Rename it to sched_balance_rq() accordingly.

The cpu_idle_type enum has the confusingly inverted property
that 'not idle' is 1, and 'idle' is '0'.
This resulted in a number of unnecessary complications in the code.
Reverse the order, remove the CPU_NOT_IDLE type, and convert
all code to a natural boolean form.
It's much more readable:
- enum cpu_idle_type idle = this_rq->idle_balance ?
- CPU_IDLE : CPU_NOT_IDLE;
-
+ enum cpu_idle_type idle = this_rq->idle_balance;
--------------------------------
- if (env->idle == CPU_NOT_IDLE || !busiest->sum_nr_running)
+ if (!env->idle || !busiest->sum_nr_running)
--------------------------------
And gets rid of the double negation in these usages:
- if (env->idle != CPU_NOT_IDLE && env->src_rq->nr_running <= 1)
+ if (env->idle && env->src_rq->nr_running <= 1)
Furthermore, this makes code much more obvious where there's
differentiation between CPU_IDLE and CPU_NEWLY_IDLE.

The memalloc_noreclaim_save() function currently has no documentation
comment, so the implications of its usage are not obvious. Namely that it
not only prevents entering reclaim (as the name suggests), but also allows
using all memory reserves and thus should be only used in contexts that
are allocating memory to free memory. This may lead to new improper
usages being added.
Thus add a documenting comment, based on the description of
__GFP_MEMALLOC. While at it, also document memalloc_pin_save() so that
all the memalloc_ scopes are documented. For those already documented,
add missing Return: descriptions, and mark Context: description per
kernel-docs style guide.
In the comments describing the relevant PF_MEMALLOC flags, refer to their
scope setting functions.

It was used by pidfd_poll() but now it has no callers.
If it finally finds a modular user we can revert this change, but note
that the comment above this helper and the changelog in 38fd525a4c61
("exit: Factor thread_group_exited out of pidfd_poll") are not accurate,
thread_group_exited() won't return true if all other threads have passed
exit_notify() and are zombies, it returns true only when all other threads
are completely gone. Not to mention that it can only work if the task
identified by @pid is a thread-group leader.

Pull header cleanups from Kent Overstreet:
"The goal is to get sched.h down to a type only header, so the main
thing happening in this patchset is splitting out various _types.h
headers and dependency fixups, as well as moving some things out of
sched.h to better locations.
This is prep work for the memory allocation profiling patchset which
adds new sched.h interdepencencies"

Pull non-MM updates from Andrew Morton:
"Quite a lot of kexec work this time around. Many singleton patches in
many places. The notable patch series are:
- nilfs2 folio conversion from Matthew Wilcox in 'nilfs2: Folio
conversions for file paths'.
- Additional nilfs2 folio conversion from Ryusuke Konishi in 'nilfs2:
Folio conversions for directory paths'.
- IA64 remnant removal in Heiko Carstens's 'Remove unused code after
IA-64 removal'.
- Arnd Bergmann has enabled the -Wmissing-prototypes warning
everywhere in 'Treewide: enable -Wmissing-prototypes'. This had
some followup fixes:
- Nathan Chancellor has cleaned up the hexagon build in the series
'hexagon: Fix up instances of -Wmissing-prototypes'.
- Nathan also addressed some s390 warnings in 's390: A couple of
fixes for -Wmissing-prototypes'.
- Arnd Bergmann addresses the same warnings for MIPS in his series
'mips: address -Wmissing-prototypes warnings'.
- Baoquan He has made kexec_file operate in a top-down-fitting manner
similar to kexec_load in the series 'kexec_file: Load kernel at top
of system RAM if required'
- Baoquan He has also added the self-explanatory 'kexec_file: print
out debugging message if required'.
- Some checkstack maintenance work from Tiezhu Yang in the series
'Modify some code about checkstack'.
- Douglas Anderson has disentangled the watchdog code's logging when
multiple reports are occurring simultaneously. The series is
'watchdog: Better handling of concurrent lockups'.
- Yuntao Wang has contributed some maintenance work on the crash code
in 'crash: Some cleanups and fixes'"

Pull cgroup updates from Tejun Heo:
- Yafang Shao added task_get_cgroup1() helper to enable a similar BPF
helper so that BPF progs can be more useful on cgroup1 hierarchies.
While cgroup1 is mostly in maintenance mode, this addition is very
small while having an outsized usefulness for users who are still on
cgroup1. Yafang also optimized root cgroup list access by making it
RCU protected in the process.
- Waiman Long optimized rstat operation leading to substantially lower
and more consistent lock hold time while flushing the hierarchical
statistics. As the lock can be acquired briefly in various hot paths,
this reduction has cascading benefits.
- Waiman also improved the quality of isolation for cpuset's isolated
partitions. CPUs which are allocated to isolated partitions are now
excluded from running unbound work items and cpu_is_isolated() test
which is used by vmstat and memcg to reduce interference now includes
cpuset isolated CPUs. While it isn't there yet, the hope is
eventually reaching parity with the isolation level provided by the
`isolcpus` boot param but in a dynamic manner.

Pull scheduler updates from Ingo Molnar:
"Energy scheduling:
- Consolidate how the max compute capacity is used in the scheduler
and how we calculate the frequency for a level of utilization.
- Rework interface between the scheduler and the schedutil governor
- Simplify the util_est logic
Deadline scheduler:
- Work more towards reducing SCHED_DEADLINE starvation of low
priority tasks (e.g., SCHED_OTHER) tasks when higher priority tasks
monopolize CPU cycles, via the introduction of 'deadline servers'
(nested/2-level scheduling).
"Fair servers" to make use of this facility are not introduced yet.
EEVDF:
- Introduce O(1) fastpath for EEVDF task selection
NUMA balancing:
- Tune the NUMA-balancing vma scanning logic some more, to better
distribute the probability of a particular vma getting scanned.
Plus misc fixes, cleanups and updates"
