Pull power management updates from Rafael Wysocki:
"There are quite a few interesting things here, including new hardware
support, new features, some bug fixes and documentation updates. In
addition, there are a usual bunch of minor fixes and cleanups all
over.
In the new hardware support category, there are intel_pstate and

Pull cred guard updates from Christian Brauner:
"This contains substantial credential infrastructure improvements
adding guard-based credential management that simplifies code and
eliminates manual reference counting in many subsystems.
Features:
- Kernel Credential Guards
Add with_kernel_creds() and scoped_with_kernel_creds() guards that
allow using the kernel credentials without allocating and copying
them. This was requested by Linus after seeing repeated
prepare_kernel_creds() calls that duplicate the kernel credentials
only to drop them again later.
The new guards completely avoid the allocation and never expose the
temporary variable to hold the kernel credentials anywhere in
callers.
- Generic Credential Guards
Add scoped_with_creds() guards for the common override_creds() and
revert_creds() pattern. This builds on earlier work that made
override_creds()/revert_creds() completely reference count free.
- Prepare Credential Guards
Add prepare credential guards for the more complex pattern of
preparing a new set of credentials and overriding the current
credentials with them:
- prepare_creds()
- modify new creds
- override_creds()
- revert_creds()
- put_cred()
Cleanups:
- Make init_cred static since it should not be directly accessed
- Add kernel_cred() helper to properly access the kernel credentials
- Fix scoped_class() macro that was introduced two cycles ago
- coredump: split out do_coredump() from vfs_coredump() for cleaner
credential handling

- coredump: mark struct mm_struct as const

Currently, the check for whether a partition is populated does not
account for tasks in the cpuset of attaching. This is a corner case
that can leave a task stuck in a partition with no effective CPUs.
The race condition occurs as follows:
cpu0 cpu1
//cpuset A with cpu N
migrate task p to A
cpuset_can_attach
// with effective cpus
// check ok
// cpuset_mutex is not held // clear cpuset.cpus.exclusive
// making effective cpus empty
update_exclusive_cpumask
// tasks_nocpu_error check ok
// empty effective cpus, partition valid
cpuset_attach
...
// task p stays in A, with non-effective cpus.
To fix this issue, this patch introduces cs_is_populated, which considers
tasks in the attaching cpuset. This new helper is used in validate_change
and partition_is_populated.
Fixes: e2d59900d936 ("cgroup/cpuset: Allow no-task partition to have empty cpuset.cpus.effective")

The timer migration mechanism allows active CPUs to pull timers from
idle ones to improve the overall idle time. This is however undesired
when CPU intensive workloads run on isolated cores, as the algorithm
would move the timers from housekeeping to isolated cores, negatively
affecting the isolation.
Exclude isolated cores from the timer migration algorithm, extend the
concept of unavailable cores, currently used for offline ones, to
isolated ones:
* A core is unavailable if isolated or offline;
* A core is available if non isolated and online;
A core is considered unavailable as isolated if it belongs to:
* the isolcpus (domain) list
* an isolated cpuset
Except if it is:
* in the nohz_full list (already idle for the hierarchy)
* the nohz timekeeper core (must be available to handle global timers)
CPUs are added to the hierarchy during late boot, excluding isolated
ones, the hierarchy is also adapted when the cpuset isolation changes.
Due to how the timer migration algorithm works, any CPU part of the
hierarchy can have their global timers pulled by remote CPUs and have to
pull remote timers, only skipping pulling remote timers would break the
logic.
For this reason, prevent isolated CPUs from pulling remote global
timers, but also the other way around: any global timer started on an
isolated CPU will run there. This does not break the concept of
isolation (global timers don't come from outside the CPU) and, if
considered inappropriate, can usually be mitigated with other isolation
techniques (e.g. IRQ pinning).
This effect was noticed on a 128 cores machine running oslat on the
isolated cores (1-31,33-63,65-95,97-127). The tool monopolises CPUs,
and the CPU with lowest count in a timer migration hierarchy (here 1
and 65) appears as always active and continuously pulls global timers,
from the housekeeping CPUs. This ends up moving driver work (e.g.
delayed work) to isolated CPUs and causes latency spikes:
before the change:
# oslat -c 1-31,33-63,65-95,97-127 -D 62s
...
Maximum: 1203 10 3 4 ... 5 (us)
after the change:
# oslat -c 1-31,33-63,65-95,97-127 -D 62s
...

cpuset_cpus_allowed() uses a reader lock that is sleepable under RT,
which means it cannot be called inside raw_spin_lock_t context.
Introduce a new cpuset_cpus_allowed_locked() helper that performs the
same function as cpuset_cpus_allowed() except that the caller must have
acquired the cpuset_mutex so that no further locking will be needed.

The kernel can throttle network sockets if the memory cgroup associated
with the corresponding socket is under memory pressure. The throttling
actions include clamping the transmit window, failing to expand receive or
send buffers, aggressively prune out-of-order receive queue, FIN deferred
to a retransmitted packet and more. Let's add memcg metric to track such
throttling actions.
At the moment memcg memory pressure is defined through vmpressure and in
future it may be defined using PSI or we may add more flexible way for the
users to define memory pressure, maybe through ebpf. However the
potential throttling actions will remain the same, so this newly
introduced metric will continue to track throttling actions irrespective
of how memcg memory pressure is defined.

cgroup_task_dead() is called from finish_task_switch() which runs with
preemption disabled and doesn't allow scheduling even on PREEMPT_RT. The
function needs to acquire css_set_lock which is a regular spinlock that can
sleep on RT kernels, leading to "sleeping function called from invalid
context" warnings.
css_set_lock is too large in scope to convert to a raw_spinlock. However,
the unlinking operations don't need to run synchronously - they just need
to complete after the task is done running.
On PREEMPT_RT, defer the work through irq_work. While the work doesn't need
to happen immediately, it can't be delayed indefinitely either as the dead
task pins the cgroup and task_struct can be pinned indefinitely. Use the
lazy version of irq_work to allow batching and lower impact while ensuring
timely completion.
v2: Use IRQ_WORK_INIT_LAZY instead of immediate irq_work and add explanation
for why the work can't be delayed indefinitely (Sebastian Andrzej Siewior).

The current cpuset code passes a local isolcpus_updated flag around in a
number of functions to determine if external isolation related cpumasks
like wq_unbound_cpumask should be updated. It is a bit cumbersome and
makes the code more complex. Simplify the code by using a global boolean
flag "isolated_cpus_updating" to track this. This flag will be set in
isolated_cpus_update() and cleared in update_isolation_cpumasks().
No functional change is expected.

Commit 4a74e418881f ("cgroup/cpuset: Check partition conflict with
housekeeping setup") is supposed to ensure that domain isolated CPUs
designated by the "isolcpus" boot command line option stay either in
root partition or in isolated partitions. However, the required check
wasn't implemented when a remote partition was created or when an
existing partition changed type from "root" to "isolated".
Even though this is a relatively minor issue, we still need to add the
required prstate_housekeeping_conflict() call in the right places to
ensure that the rule is strictly followed.
The following steps can be used to reproduce the problem before this
fix.
# fmt -1 /proc/cmdline | grep isolcpus
isolcpus=9
# cd /sys/fs/cgroup/
# echo +cpuset > cgroup.subtree_control
# mkdir test
# echo 9 > test/cpuset.cpus
# echo isolated > test/cpuset.cpus.partition
# cat test/cpuset.cpus.partition
isolated
# cat test/cpuset.cpus.effective
9
# echo root > test/cpuset.cpus.partition
# cat test/cpuset.cpus.effective
9
# cat test/cpuset.cpus.partition
root
With this fix, the last few steps will become:
# echo root > test/cpuset.cpus.partition
# cat test/cpuset.cpus.effective
0-8,10-95
# cat test/cpuset.cpus.partition
root invalid (partition config conflicts with housekeeping setup)

Prevent this configuration by blocking any assignation that would cause

When a task exits, css_set_move_task(tsk, cset, NULL, false) unlinks the task
from its cgroup. From the cgroup's perspective, the task is now gone. If this
makes the cgroup empty, it can be removed, triggering ->css_offline() callbacks
that notify controllers the cgroup is going offline resource-wise.
However, the exiting task can still run, perform memory operations, and schedule
until the final context switch in finish_task_switch(). This creates a confusing
situation where controllers are told a cgroup is offline while resource
activities are still happening in it. While this hasn't broken existing
controllers, it has caused direct confusion for sched_ext schedulers.
Split cgroup_task_exit() into two functions. cgroup_task_exit() now only calls
the subsystem exit callbacks and continues to be called from do_exit(). The
css_set cleanup is moved to the new cgroup_task_dead() which is called from
finish_task_switch() after the final context switch, so that the cgroup only
appears empty after the task is truly done running.
This also reorders operations so that subsys->exit() is now called before
unlinking from the cgroup, which shouldn't break anything.

cgroup_task_free()
Currently, cgroup_task_exit() adds thread group leaders with live member
threads to their css_set's dying_tasks list (so cgroup.procs iteration can
still see the leader), and cgroup_task_release() later removes them with
list_del_init(&task->cg_list).
An upcoming patch will defer the dying_tasks list addition, moving it from
cgroup_task_exit() (called from do_exit()) to a new function called from
finish_task_switch(). However, release_task() (which calls
cgroup_task_release()) can run either before or after finish_task_switch(),
creating a race where cgroup_task_release() might try to remove the task from
dying_tasks before or while it's being added.
Move the list_del_init() from cgroup_task_release() to cgroup_task_free() to
fix this race. cgroup_task_free() runs from __put_task_struct(), which is
always after both paths, making the cleanup safe.

The current names cgroup_exit(), cgroup_release(), and cgroup_free() are
confusing because they look like they're operating on cgroups themselves when
they're actually task lifecycle hooks. For example, cgroup_init() initializes
the cgroup subsystem while cgroup_exit() is a task exit notification to
cgroup. Rename them to cgroup_task_exit(), cgroup_task_release(), and
cgroup_task_free() to make it clear that these operate on tasks.

The cpuset structure has a nr_subparts field which tracks the number
of child local partitions underneath a particular cpuset. Right now,
nr_subparts is only used in partition_is_populated() to avoid iteration
of child cpusets if the condition is right. So by always performing the
child iteration, we can avoid tracking the number of child partitions
and simplify the code a bit.

The commit afa3701c0e45 ("cgroup: cgroup.stat.local time accounting")
introduced a seqcount to track freeze timing but initialized it as a
plain seqcount_t using seqcount_init().
However, the write-side critical section in cgroup_do_freeze() holds
the css_set_lock spinlock while calling write_seqcount_begin(). On
PREEMPT_RT kernels, spinlocks do not disable preemption, causing the
lockdep assertion for a plain seqcount_t, which checks for preemption
being disabled, to fail.
This triggers the following warning:
WARNING: CPU: 0 PID: 9692 at include/linux/seqlock.h:221
Fix this by changing the type to seqcount_spinlock_t and initializing
it with seqcount_spinlock_init() to associate css_set_lock with the
seqcount. This allows lockdep to correctly validate that the spinlock
is held during write operations, resolving the assertion failure on all
kernel configurations.

scalability, workqueue conversions to use WQ_PERCPU and
system_percpu_wq to prepare for workqueue default switching from
percpu to unbound, and removal of unused code including the
post_attach callback.
- New cgroup.stat.local time accounting feature that tracks frozen time
duration.
- Misc changes including selftests updates (new freezer time tests and
backward compatibility fixes), documentation sync, string function
safety improvements, and 64-bit division fixes.

Pull namespace updates from Christian Brauner:
"This contains a larger set of changes around the generic namespace
infrastructure of the kernel.
Each specific namespace type (net, cgroup, mnt, ...) embedds a struct
ns_common which carries the reference count of the namespace and so
on.
We open-coded and cargo-culted so many quirks for each namespace type
that it just wasn't scalable anymore. So given there's a bunch of new
changes coming in that area I've started cleaning all of this up.
The core change is to make it possible to correctly initialize every
namespace uniformly and derive the correct initialization settings
from the type of the namespace such as namespace operations, namespace
type and so on. This leaves the new ns_common_init() function with a
single parameter which is the specific namespace type which derives
the correct parameters statically. This also means the compiler will
yell as soon as someone does something remotely fishy.
The ns_common_init() addition also allows us to remove ns_alloc_inum()
and drops any special-casing of the initial network namespace in the
network namespace initialization code that Linus complained about.
Another part is reworking the reference counting. The reference
counting was open-coded and copy-pasted for each namespace type even
though they all followed the same rules. This also removes all open
accesses to the reference count and makes it private and only uses a
very small set of dedicated helpers to manipulate them just like we do
for e.g., files.
In addition this generalizes the mount namespace iteration
infrastructure introduced a few cycles ago. As reminder, the vfs makes
it possible to iterate sequentially and bidirectionally through all
mount namespaces on the system or all mount namespaces that the caller
holds privilege over. This allow userspace to iterate over all mounts
in all mount namespaces using the listmount() and statmount() system
call.
Each mount namespace has a unique identifier for the lifetime of the
systems that is exposed to userspace. The network namespace also has a
unique identifier working exactly the same way. This extends the
concept to all other namespace types.
The new nstree type makes it possible to lookup namespaces purely by
their identifier and to walk the namespace list sequentially and
bidirectionally for all namespace types, allowing userspace to iterate
through all namespaces. Looking up namespaces in the namespace tree
works completely locklessly.
This also means we can move the mount namespace onto the generic
infrastructure and remove a bunch of code and members from struct
mnt_namespace itself.
There's a bunch of stuff coming on top of this in the future but for
now this uses the generic namespace tree to extend a concept
introduced first for pidfs a few cycles ago. For a while now we have
supported pidfs file handles for pidfds. This has proven to be very
useful.
This extends the concept to cover namespaces as well. It is possible
to encode and decode namespace file handles using the common
name_to_handle_at() and open_by_handle_at() apis.
As with pidfs file handles, namespace file handles are exhaustive,
meaning it is not required to actually hold a reference to nsfs in
able to decode aka open_by_handle_at() a namespace file handle.
Instead the FD_NSFS_ROOT constant can be passed which will let the
kernel grab a reference to the root of nsfs internally and thus decode
the file handle.
Namespaces file descriptors can already be derived from pidfds which
means they aren't subject to overmount protection bugs. IOW, it's
irrelevant if the caller would not have access to an appropriate
/proc/<pid>/ns/ directory as they could always just derive the
namespace based on a pidfd already.
It has the same advantage as pidfds. It's possible to reliably and for
the lifetime of the system refer to a namespace without pinning any
resources and to compare them trivially.
Permission checking is kept simple. If the caller is located in the
namespace the file handle refers to they are able to open it otherwise
they must hold privilege over the owning namespace of the relevant
namespace.
The namespace file handle layout is exposed as uapi and has a stable
and extensible format. For now it simply contains the namespace
identifier, the namespace type, and the inode number. The stable
format means that userspace may construct its own namespace file
handles without going through name_to_handle_at() as they are already
allowed for pidfs and cgroup file handles"

It's misplaced in struct proc_ns_operations and ns->ops might be NULL if
the namespace is compiled out but we still want to know the type of the

The is_prs_invalid helper function is redundant as it serves a similar
purpose to is_partition_invalid. It can be fully replaced by the existing
is_partition_invalid function, so this patch removes the is_prs_invalid

A previous patch fixed a bug where new_prs should be assigned before
checking housekeeping conflicts. This patch addresses another potential
issue: the nocpu error check currently uses the xcpus which is not updated.
Although no issue has been observed so far, the check should be performed
using the new effective exclusive cpus.
The comment has been removed because the function returns an error if
nocpu checking fails, which is unrelated to the parent.

The 'isolcpus' parameter specified at boot time can be assigned to an
isolated partition. While it is valid put the 'isolcpus' in an isolated
partition, attempting to change a member cpuset to an isolated partition
will fail if the cpuset contains any 'isolcpus'.
For example, the system boots with 'isolcpus=9', and the following
configuration works correctly:
# cd /sys/fs/cgroup/
# mkdir test
# echo 1 > test/cpuset.cpus
# echo isolated > test/cpuset.cpus.partition
# cat test/cpuset.cpus.partition
isolated
# echo 9 > test/cpuset.cpus
# cat test/cpuset.cpus.partition
isolated
# cat test/cpuset.cpus
9
However, the following steps to convert a member cpuset to an isolated
partition will fail:
# cd /sys/fs/cgroup/
# mkdir test
# echo 9 > test/cpuset.cpus
# echo isolated > test/cpuset.cpus.partition
# cat test/cpuset.cpus.partition
isolated invalid (partition config conflicts with housekeeping setup)
The issue occurs because the new partition state (new_prs) is used for
validation against housekeeping constraints before it has been properly
updated. To resolve this, move the assignment of new_prs before the
housekeeping validation check when enabling a root partition.
