sched/fair: add boosted task utilization
The task utilization signal, which is derived from PELT signals and
properly scaled to be architecture and frequency invariant, is used by
EAS as an estimation of the task requirements in terms of CPU bandwidth.
When the energy aware scheduler is in use, this signal affects the CPU
selection. Thus, a convenient way to bias that decision, which is also
little intrusive, is to boost the task utilization signal each time it
is required to support them.
This patch introduces the new function:
boosted_task_util(task)
which returns a boosted value for the utilization of the specified task.
The margin added to the original utilization is:
1. computed based on the "boosting strategy" in use
2. proportional to boost value defined either by the sysctl interface,
when global boosting is in use, or the "taskgroup" value, when
per-task boosting is enabled.
The boosted signal is used by EAS
a. transparently, via its integration into the task_fits() function
b. explicitly, in the energy-aware wakeup path

sched/{fair,tune}: track RUNNABLE tasks impact on per CPU boost value
When per-task boosting is enabled, every time a task enters/exits a CPU
its boost value could impact the currently selected OPP for that CPU.
Thus, the "aggregated" boost value for that CPU potentially needs to
be updated to match the current maximum boost value among all the tasks
currently RUNNABLE on that CPU.
This patch introduces the required support to keep track of which boost
groups are impacting a CPU. Each time a task is enqueued/dequeued to/from
a CPU its boost group is used to increment a per-cpu counter of RUNNABLE
tasks on that CPU.
Only when the number of runnable tasks for a specific boost group
becomes 1 or 0 the corresponding boost group changes its effects on
that CPU, specifically:
a) boost_group::tasks == 1: this boost group starts to impact the CPU
b) boost_group::tasks == 0: this boost group stops to impact the CPU
In each of these two conditions the aggregation function:
sched_cpu_update(cpu)
could be required to run in order to identify the new maximum boost
value required for the CPU.
The proposed patch minimizes the number of times the aggregation
function is executed while still providing the required support to
always boost a CPU to the maximum boost value required by all its
currently RUNNABLE tasks.

sched/tune: compute and keep track of per CPU boost value
When per task boosting is enabled, we could have multiple RUNNABLE tasks
which are concurrently scheduled on the same CPU but each one with a
different boost value.
For example, we could have a scenarios like this:
Task SchedTune CGroup Boost Value
T1 root 0
T2 low-priority 10
T3 interactive 90
In these conditions we expect a CPU to be configured according to a
proper "aggregation" of the required boost values for all the tasks
currently scheduled on this CPU.
A suitable aggregation function is the one which tracks the MAX boost
value for all the tasks RUNNABLE on a CPU. This approach allows to
always satisfy the most boost demanding task while at the same time:
a) boosting all the concurrently scheduled tasks thus reducing
potential co-scheduling side-effects on demanding tasks
b) reduce the number of frequency switch requested towards SchedDVFS,
thus being more friendly to architectures with slow frequency
switching times
Every time a task enters/exits the RQ of a CPU the max boost value
should be updated considering all the boost groups currently "affecting"
that CPU, i.e. which have at least one RUNNABLE task currently allocated
on that CPU.
This patch introduces the required support to keep track of the boost
groups currently affecting CPUs. Thanks to the limited number of boost
groups, a small and memory efficient per-cpu array of boost groups
values (cpu_boost_groups) is used which is updated for each CPU entry by
schedtune_boostgroup_update() but only when a schedtune CGroup boost
value is updated. However, this is expected to be a rare operation,

sched/tune: add initial support for CGroups based boosting
To support task performance boosting, the usage of a single knob has the
advantage to be a simple solution, both from the implementation and the
usability standpoint. However, on a real system it can be difficult to
identify a single value for the knob which fits the needs of multiple
different tasks. For example, some kernel threads and/or user-space
background services should be better managed the "standard" way while we
still want to be able to boost the performance of specific workloads.
In order to improve the flexibility of the task boosting mechanism this
patch is the first of a small series which extends the previous
implementation to introduce a "per task group" support.
This first patch introduces just the basic CGroups support, a new
"schedtune" CGroups controller is added which allows to configure
different boost value for different groups of tasks.
To keep the implementation simple but still effective for a boosting
strategy, the new controller:
1. allows only a two layer hierarchy
2. supports only a limited number of boost groups
A two layer hierarchy allows to place each task either:
a) in the root control group
thus being subject to a system-wide boosting value
b) in a child of the root group
thus being subject to the specific boost value defined by that
"boost group"
The limited number of "boost groups" supported is mainly motivated by
the observation that in a real system it could be useful to have only
few classes of tasks which deserve different treatment.
For example, background vs foreground or interactive vs low-priority.
As an additional benefit, a limited number of boost groups allows also
to have a simpler implementation especially for the code required to
compute the boost value for CPUs which have runnable tasks belonging to
different boost groups.

sched/fair: add function to convert boost value into "margin"
The basic idea of the boost knob is to "artificially inflate" a signal
to make a task or logical CPU appears more demanding than it actually
is. Independently from the specific signal, a consistent and possibly
simple semantic for the concept of "signal boosting" must define:
1. how we translate the boost percentage into a "margin" value to be added
to the original signal to inflate
2. what is the meaning of a boost value from a user-space perspective
This patch provides the implementation of a possible boost semantic,
named "Signal Proportional Compensation" (SPC), where the boost
percentage (BP) is used to compute a margin (M) which is proportional to
the complement of the original signal (OS):
M = BP * (SCHED_LOAD_SCALE - OS)
The computed margin then added to the OS to obtain the Boosted Signal (BS)
BS = OS + M
The proposed boost semantic has these main features:
- each signal gets a boost which is proportional to its delta with respect
to the maximum available capacity in the system (i.e. SCHED_LOAD_SCALE)
- a 100% boosting has a clear understanding from a user-space perspective,
since it means simply to run (possibly) "all" tasks at the max OPP
- each boosting value means to improve the task performance by a quantity
which is proportional to the maximum achievable performance on that
system
Thus this semantics is somehow forcing a behaviour which is:
50% boosting means to run at half-way between the current and the
maximum performance which a task could achieve on that system
This patch provides the code to implement a fast integer division to
convert a boost percentage (BP) value into a margin (M).

This patch is the first of a series which provides a simple interface to
define a tuning knob. One system-wide "boost" tunable is exposed via:
/proc/sys/kernel/sched_cfs_boost

where:
- 0% boost requires to operate in "standard" mode by scheduling
tasks at the minimum capacities required by the workload demand
- 100% boost requires to push at maximum the task performances,
"regardless" of the incurred energy consumption
A boost value in between these two boundaries is used to bias the
power/performance trade-off, the higher the boost value the more the
scheduler is biased toward performance boosting instead of energy
efficiency.

see [0].
This patch implements a shim layer between the Linux scheduler and the
cpufreq subsystem. The interface accepts capacity requests from the
CFS, RT and deadline sched classes. The requests from each sched class
are summed on each CPU with a margin applied to the CFS and RT
capacity requests to provide some headroom. Deadline requests are
expected to be precise enough given their nature to not require
headroom. The maximum total capacity request for a CPU in a frequency
domain drives the requested frequency for that domain.
Policy is determined by both the sched classes and this shim layer.
Note that this algorithm is event-driven. There is no polling loop to
check cpu idle time nor any other method which is unsynchronized with
the scheduler, aside from a throttling mechanism to ensure frequency
changes are not attempted faster than the hardware can accommodate them.

sched: Consider misfit tasks when load-balancing
With the new group_misfit_task load-balancing scenario additional policy
conditions are needed when load-balancing. Misfit task balancing only
makes sense between source group with lower capacity than the target
group. If capacities are the same, fallback to normal group_other
balancing. The aim is to balance tasks such that no task has its
throughput hindered by compute capacity if a cpu with more capacity is
available. Load-balancing is generally based on average load in the
sched_groups, but for misfitting tasks it is necessary to introduce
exceptions to migrate tasks against usual metrics and optimize
throughput.
This patch ensures the following load-balance for mixed capacity systems
(e.g. ARM big.LITTLE) for always-running tasks:
1. Place a task on each cpu starting in order from cpus with highest
capacity to lowest until all cpus are in use (i.e. one task on each
cpu).
2. Once all cpus are in use balance according to compute capacity such
that load per capacity is approximately the same regardless of the
compute capacity (i.e. big cpus get more tasks than little cpus).
Necessary changes are introduced in find_busiest_group(),
calculate_imbalance(), and find_busiest_queue(). This includes passing
the group_type on to find_busiest_queue() through struct lb_env, which
is currently only considers imbalance and not the imbalance situation
(group_type).
To avoid taking remote rq locks to examine source sched_groups for

load-balancing policy. Tasks that are scheduled on a reduced capacity
cpu need to be identified and migrated to a higher capacity cpu if

To implement this additional policy an additional group_type

When such a cpu becomes idle, idle balance should happen even if the rq

The rq avg idle is updated during the wakeup of a task in case the rq has

task wakes up on this cpu after an idle period.
So rq avg idle could be smaller than sched migration cost preventing the

iterate over all cpus. This would be way too costly. That's why this
patch follows a different approach.
The unsigned long max_cpu_capacity value in struct root_domain is
replaced with a struct max_cpu_capacity, containing value (the
max_cpu_capacity) and cpu (the cpu index of the cpu providing the
maximum cpu_capacity).
Changes to the system-wide maximum cpu capacity and the cpu index are
made if:
1 System-wide maximum cpu capacity < cpu capacity
2 System-wide maximum cpu capacity > cpu capacity and cpu index == cpu
There are no changes to the system-wide maximum cpu capacity in all
other cases.
Atomic read and write access to the pair (max_cpu_capacity.val,
max_cpu_capacity.cpu) is enforced by max_cpu_capacity.lock.
The access to max_cpu_capacity.val in task_fits_max() is still performed
without taking the max_cpu_capacity.lock.
The code to set max cpu capacity in build_sched_domains() has been
removed because the whole functionality is now provided by
update_cpu_capacity() instead.
This approach can introduce errors temporarily, e.g. in case the cpu
currently providing the max cpu capacity has its cpu capacity lowered
due to frequency capping and calls update_cpu_capacity() before any cpu
which might provide the max cpu now.
There is also an outstanding question:
Should the cpu capacity of a cpu going idle be set to a very small
value?

cpufreq: Max freq invariant scheduler load-tracking and cpu capacity support
Implements cpufreq_scale_max_freq_capacity() to provide the scheduler
with a maximum frequency scaling correction factor for more accurate
load-tracking and cpu capacity handling by being able to deal with
frequency capping.
This scaling factor describes the influence of running a cpu with a
current maximum frequency lower than the absolute possible maximum
frequency on load tracking and cpu capacity.
The factor is:
current_max_freq(cpu) << SCHED_CAPACITY_SHIFT / max_freq(cpu)
In fact, max_freq_scale should be a struct cpufreq_policy data member.
But this would require that the scheduler hot path (__update_load_avg())
would have to grab the cpufreq lock. This can be avoided by using per-cpu
data initialized to SCHED_CAPACITY_SCALE for max_freq_scale.

sched: Add over-utilization/tipping point indicator
Energy-aware scheduling is only meant to be active while the system is
_not_ over-utilized. That is, there are spare cycles available to shift
tasks around based on their actual utilization to get a more
energy-efficient task distribution without depriving any tasks. When
above the tipping point task placement is done the traditional way based
on load_avg, spreading the tasks across as many cpus as possible based
on priority scaled load to preserve smp_nice. Below the tipping point we
want to use util_avg instead. We need to define a criteria for when we
make the switch.
The util_avg for each cpu converges towards 100% (1024) regardless of
how many task additional task we may put on it. If we define
over-utilized as:
sum_{cpus}(rq.cfs.avg.util_avg) + margin > sum_{cpus}(rq.capacity)
some individual cpus may be over-utilized running multiple tasks even
when the above condition is false. That should be okay as long as we try
to spread the tasks out to avoid per-cpu over-utilization as much as
possible and if all tasks have the _same_ priority. If the latter isn't
true, we have to consider priority to preserve smp_nice.
For example, we could have n_cpus nice=-10 util_avg=55% tasks and
n_cpus/2 nice=0 util_avg=60% tasks. Balancing based on util_avg we are
likely to end up with nice=-10 tasks sharing cpus and nice=0 tasks
getting their own as we 1.5*n_cpus tasks in total and 55%+55% is less
over-utilized than 55%+60% for those cpus that have to be shared. The
system utilization is only 85% of the system capacity, but we are
breaking smp_nice.
To be sure not to break smp_nice, we have defined over-utilization
conservatively as when any cpu in the system is fully utilized at it's
highest frequency instead:
cpu_rq(any).cfs.avg.util_avg + margin > cpu_rq(any).capacity
IOW, as soon as one cpu is (nearly) 100% utilized, we switch to load_avg
to factor in priority to preserve smp_nice.
With this definition, we can skip periodic load-balance as no cpu has an
always-running task when the system is not over-utilized. All tasks will
be periodic and we can balance them at wake-up. This conservative
condition does however mean that some scenarios that could benefit from
energy-aware decisions even if one cpu is fully utilized would not get
those benefits.
For system where some cpus might have reduced capacity on some cpus
(RT-pressure and/or big.LITTLE), we want periodic load-balance checks as
soon a just a single cpu is fully utilized as it might one of those with
reduced capacity and in that case we want to migrate it.

it before. The same is also applicable to a never used group entity.
Fix it in remove_entity_load_avg(): when entity's last_update_time
is 0, simply return. This should precisely identify the case in
question, because in other migrations, the last_update_time is set
to 0 after remove_entity_load_avg().

FROMLIST: pstore: drop pmsg bounce buffer

(cherry pick from android-3.10 commit
b58133100b38f2bf83cad2d7097417a3a196ed0b)
Removing a bounce buffer copy operation in the pmsg driver path is
always better. We also gain in overall performance by not requesting
a vmalloc on every write as this can cause precious RT tasks, such
as user facing media operation, to stall while memory is being
reclaimed. Added a write_buf_user to the pstore functions, a backup
platform write_buf_user that uses the small buffer that is part of
the instance, and implemented a ramoops write_buf_user that only
supports PSTORE_TYPE_PMSG.

UPSTREAM: netfilter: nfnetlink: correctly validate length of batch messages
(cherry picked from commit
c58d6c93680f28ac58984af61d0a7ebf4319c241)
If nlh->nlmsg_len is zero then an infinite loop is triggered because
'skb_pull(skb, msglen);' pulls zero bytes.
The calculation in nlmsg_len() underflows if 'nlh->nlmsg_len <
NLMSG_HDRLEN' which bypasses the length validation and will later
trigger an out-of-bound read.
If the length validation does fail then the malformed batch message is
copied back to userspace. However, we cannot do this because the
nlh->nlmsg_len can be invalid. This leads to an out-of-bounds read in
netlink_ack:

it will be removed from the cpuset/cpus file. When a cpu is onlined,
if the cpuset originally requested that that cpu was part of the cpuset,

UPSTREAM: mm/slub: support left redzone
SLUB already has a redzone debugging feature. But it is only positioned
at the end of object (aka right redzone) so it cannot catch left oob.
Although current object's right redzone acts as left redzone of next
object, first object in a slab cannot take advantage of this effect.
This patch explicitly adds a left red zone to each object to detect left
oob more precisely.
Background:
Someone complained to me that left OOB doesn't catch even if KASAN is
enabled which does page allocation debugging. That page is out of our
control so it would be allocated when left OOB happens and, in this
case, we can't find OOB. Moreover, SLUB debugging feature can be
enabled without page allocator debugging and, in this case, we will miss
that OOB.
Before trying to implement, I expected that changes would be too
complex, but, it doesn't look that complex to me now. Almost changes
are applied to debug specific functions so I feel okay.

UPSTREAM: Make the hardened user-copy code depend on having a hardened allocator
The kernel test robot reported a usercopy failure in the new hardened
sanity checks, due to a page-crossing copy of the FPU state into the
task structure.
This happened because the kernel test robot was testing with SLOB, which
doesn't actually do the required book-keeping for slab allocations, and
as a result the hardening code didn't realize that the task struct
allocation was one single allocation - and the sanity checks fail.
Since SLOB doesn't even claim to support hardening (and you really
shouldn't use it), the straightforward solution is to just make the
usercopy hardening code depend on the allocator supporting it.

The checked object's range [
ffff88103dfff000,
ffff88103e000000) is
valid, so there shouldn't have been a BUG. The hardened usercopy code
got confused because the range's ending address is the same as the
kernel's text starting address at 0xffff88103e000000. The overlap check
is slightly off.

UPSTREAM: usercopy: avoid potentially undefined behavior in pointer math
check_bogus_address() checked for pointer overflow using this expression,
where 'ptr' has type 'const void *':
ptr + n < ptr
Since pointer wraparound is undefined behavior, gcc at -O2 by default
treats it like the following, which would not behave as intended:
(long)n < 0
Fortunately, this doesn't currently happen for kernel code because kernel
code is compiled with -fno-strict-overflow. But the expression should be
fixed anyway to use well-defined integer arithmetic, since it could be
treated differently by different compilers in the future or could be
reported by tools checking for undefined behavior.

UPSTREAM: unsafe_[get|put]_user: change interface to use a error target label
When I initially added the unsafe_[get|put]_user() helpers in commit
5b24a7a2aa20 ("Add 'unsafe' user access functions for batched
accesses"), I made the mistake of modeling the interface on our
traditional __[get|put]_user() functions, which return zero on success,
or -EFAULT on failure.
That interface is fairly easy to use, but it's actually fairly nasty for
good code generation, since it essentially forces the caller to check
the error value for each access.
In particular, since the error handling is already internally
implemented with an exception handler, and we already use "asm goto" for
various other things, we could fairly easily make the error cases just
jump directly to an error label instead, and avoid the need for explicit
checking after each operation.
So switch the interface to pass in an error label, rather than checking
the error value in the caller. Best do it now before we start growing
more users (the signal handling code in particular would be a good place
to use the new interface).
So rather than
if (unsafe_get_user(x, ptr))
... handle error ..
the interface is now
unsafe_get_user(x, ptr, label);
where an error during the user mode fetch will now just cause a jump to
'label' in the caller.
Right now the actual _implementation_ of this all still ends up being a
"if (err) goto label", and does not take advantage of any exception
label tricks, but for "unsafe_put_user()" in particular it should be
fairly straightforward to convert to using the exception table model.
Note that "unsafe_get_user()" is much harder to convert to a clever
exception table model, because current versions of gcc do not allow the
use of "asm goto" (for the exception) with output values (for the actual
value to be fetched). But that is hopefully not a limitation in the
long term.
[ Also note that it might be a good idea to switch unsafe_get_user() to
actually _return_ the value it fetches from user space, but this
commit only changes the error handling semantics ]

BACKPORT: arm64: mm: fix location of _etext
As Kees Cook notes in the ARM counterpart of this patch [0]:
The _etext position is defined to be the end of the kernel text code,
and should not include any part of the data segments. This interferes
with things that might check memory ranges and expect executable code
up to _etext.
In particular, Kees is referring to the HARDENED_USERCOPY patch set [1],
which rejects attempts to call copy_to_user() on kernel ranges containing
executable code, but does allow access to the .rodata segment. Regardless
of whether one may or may not agree with the distinction, it makes sense
for _etext to have the same meaning across architectures.
So let's put _etext where it belongs, between .text and .rodata, and fix
up existing references to use __init_begin instead, which unlike _end_rodata
includes the exception and notes sections as well.
The _etext references in kaslr.c are left untouched, since its references
to [_stext, _etext) are meant to capture potential jump instruction targets,
and so disregarding .rodata is actually an improvement here.

UPSTREAM: tcp: fix use after free in tcp_xmit_retransmit_queue()
(cherry picked from commit
bb1fceca22492109be12640d49f5ea5a544c6bb4)
When tcp_sendmsg() allocates a fresh and empty skb, it puts it at the
tail of the write queue using tcp_add_write_queue_tail()
Then it attempts to copy user data into this fresh skb.
If the copy fails, we undo the work and remove the fresh skb.
Unfortunately, this undo lacks the change done to tp->highest_sack and
we can leave a dangling pointer (to a freed skb)
Later, tcp_xmit_retransmit_queue() can dereference this pointer and
access freed memory. For regular kernels where memory is not unmapped,
this might cause SACK bugs because tcp_highest_sack_seq() is buggy,
returning garbage instead of tp->snd_nxt, but with various debug
features like CONFIG_DEBUG_PAGEALLOC, this can crash the kernel.
This bug was found by Marco Grassi thanks to syzkaller.

This patch moves the threadgroup_change_begin from before
cgroup_fork() to just before cgroup_canfork(). There is no nee to
worry about threadgroup changes till the task is actually added to the
threadgroup. This avoids having to call reclaim with
cgroup_threadgroup_rwsem held.

RFC: FROMLIST: cgroup: avoid synchronize_sched() in __cgroup_procs_write()
The current percpu-rwsem read side is entirely free of serializing insns
at the cost of having a synchronize_sched() in the write path.
The latency of the synchronize_sched() is too high for cgroups. The
commit
1ed1328792ff talks about the write path being a fairly cold path
but this is not the case for Android which moves task to the foreground
cgroup and back around binder IPC calls from foreground processes to
background processes, so it is significantly hotter than human initiated
operations.
Switch cgroup_threadgroup_rwsem into the slow mode for now to avoid the
problem, hopefully it should not be that slow after another commit
80127a39681b ("locking/percpu-rwsem: Optimize readers and reduce global
impact").
We could just add rcu_sync_enter() into cgroup_init() but we do not want
another synchronize_sched() at boot time, so this patch adds the new helper
which doesn't block but currently can only be called before the first use.

RFC: FROMLIST: locking/percpu-rwsem: Optimize readers and reduce global impact
Currently the percpu-rwsem switches to (global) atomic ops while a
writer is waiting; which could be quite a while and slows down
releasing the readers.
This patch cures this problem by ordering the reader-state vs
reader-count (see the comments in __percpu_down_read() and
percpu_down_write()). This changes a global atomic op into a full
memory barrier, which doesn't have the global cacheline contention.
This also enables using the percpu-rwsem with rcu_sync disabled in order
to bias the implementation differently, reducing the writer latency by
adding some cost to readers.

ping_v6_sendmsg does not set flowi6_oif in response to

Instead, it sets flowi6_iif, which is incorrect but harmless.
