Pull sched_ext updates from Tejun Heo:
- Improve recovery from misbehaving BPF schedulers.
When a scheduler puts many tasks with varying affinity restrictions
on a shared DSQ, CPUs scanning through tasks they cannot run can
overwhelm the system, causing lockups.
Bypass mode now uses per-CPU DSQs with a load balancer to avoid this,
and hooks into the hardlockup detector to attempt recovery.
Add scx_cpu0 example scheduler to demonstrate this scenario.
- Add lockless peek operation for DSQs to reduce lock contention for
schedulers that need to query queue state during load balancing.
- Allow scx_bpf_reenqueue_local() to be called from anywhere in
preparation for deprecating cpu_acquire/release() callbacks in favor
of generic BPF hooks.
- Prepare for hierarchical scheduler support: add
scx_bpf_task_set_slice() and scx_bpf_task_set_dsq_vtime() kfuncs,
make scx_bpf_dsq_insert*() return bool, and wrap kfunc args in
structs for future aux__prog parameter.
- Implement cgroup_set_idle() callback to notify BPF schedulers when a
cgroup's idle state changes.
- Fix migration tasks being incorrectly downgraded from
stop_sched_class to rt_sched_class across sched_ext enable/disable.
Applied late as the fix is low risk and the bug subtle but needs
stable backporting.
- Various fixes and cleanups including cgroup exit ordering,
SCX_KICK_WAIT reliability, and backward compatibility improvements.

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
intel_rapl driver updates to support new processors, Panther Lake,
Wildcat Lake, Noval Lake, and Diamond Rapids in the OOB mode, OPP and
bandwidth allocation support in the tegra186 cpufreq driver, and
JH7110S SOC support in dt-platdev cpufreq.
The new features are the PM QoS CPU latency limit for suspend-to-idle,
the netlink support for the energy model management, support for
terminating system suspend via a wakeup event during the sync of file
systems, configurable number of hibernation compression threads, the
runtime PM auto-cleanup macros, and the "poweroff" PM event that is
expected to be used during system shutdown.
Bugs are mostly fixed in cpuidle governors, but there are also fixes
elsewhere, like in the amd-pstate cpufreq driver.
Documentation updates include, but are not limited to, a new doc on
debugging shutdown hangs, cross-referencing fixes and cleanups in the
intel_pstate documentation, and updates of comments in the core

Pull irq core updates from Thomas Gleixner:
"Updates for the interrupt core and treewide cleanups:
- Rework of the Per Processor Interrupt (PPI) management on ARM[64]
PPI support was built under the assumption that the systems are
homogenous so that the same CPU local device types are connected to
them. That's unfortunately wishful thinking and created horrible
workarounds.
This rework provides affinity management for PPIs so that they can
be individually configured in the firmware tables and mops up the
related drivers all over the place.
- Prevent CPUSET/isolation changes to arbitrarily affine interrupt
threads to random CPUs, which ignores user or driver settings.
- Plug a harmless race in the interrupt affinity proc interface,
which allows to see a half updated mask
- Adjust the priority of secondary interrupt threads on RT, so that
the combination of primary and secondary thread emulates the
hardware interrupt plus thread scenario. Having them at the same
priority can cause starvation issues in some drivers"

Pull rseq updates from Thomas Gleixner:
"A large overhaul of the restartable sequences and CID management:
The recent enablement of RSEQ in glibc resulted in regressions which
are caused by the related overhead. It turned out that the decision to
invoke the exit to user work was not really a decision. More or less
each context switch caused that. There is a long list of small issues
which sums up nicely and results in a 3-4% regression in I/O
benchmarks.
The other detail which caused issues due to extra work in context
switch and task migration is the CID (memory context ID) management.
It also requires to use a task work to consolidate the CID space,
which is executed in the context of an arbitrary task and results in
sporadic uncontrolled exit latencies.
The rewrite addresses this by:
- Removing deprecated and long unsupported functionality
- Moving the related data into dedicated data structures which are
optimized for fast path processing.
- Caching values so actual decisions can be made
- Replacing the current implementation with a optimized inlined
variant.
- Separating fast and slow path for architectures which use the
generic entry code, so that only fault and error handling goes into
the TIF_NOTIFY_RESUME handler.
- Rewriting the CID management so that it becomes mostly invisible in
the context switch path. That moves the work of switching modes
into the fork/exit path, which is a reasonable tradeoff. That work
is only required when a process creates more threads than the
cpuset it is allowed to run on or when enough threads exit after
that. An artificial thread pool benchmarks which triggers this did
not degrade, it actually improved significantly.
The main effect in migration heavy scenarios is that runqueue lock
held time and therefore contention goes down significantly"

When loading the ebpf scheduler, the tasks in the scx_tasks list will
be traversed and invoke __setscheduler_class() to get new sched_class.
however, this would also incorrectly set the per-cpu migration
task's->sched_class to rt_sched_class, even after unload, the per-cpu
migration task's->sched_class remains sched_rt_class.

mm_cid_schedin() functionality.
The common case is that there is no mode change required, which makes
fork() and exit() just update the user count and the constraints.
In case that a new user would exceed the CID space limit the fork() context
handles the transition to per CPU mode with mm::mm_cid::mutex held. exit()
handles the transition back to per task mode when the user count drops
below the switch back threshold. fork() might also be forced to handle a
deferred switch back to per task mode, when a affinity change increased the
number of allowed CPUs enough.

When affinity changes cause an increase of the number of CPUs allowed for
tasks which are related to a MM, that might results in a situation where
the ownership mode can go back from per CPU mode to per task mode.
As affinity changes happen with runqueue lock held there is no way to do
the actual mode change and required fixup right there.
Add the infrastructure to defer it to a workqueue. The scheduled work can
race with a fork() or exit(). Whatever happens first takes care of it.

CIDs are either owned by tasks or by CPUs. The ownership mode depends on
the number of tasks related to a MM and the number of CPUs on which these
tasks are theoretically allowed to run on. Theoretically because that
number is the superset of CPU affinities of all tasks which only grows and
never shrinks.
Switching to per CPU mode happens when the user count becomes greater than
the maximum number of CIDs, which is calculated by:
opt_cids = min(mm_cid::nr_cpus_allowed, mm_cid::users);
max_cids = min(1.25 * opt_cids, nr_cpu_ids);
The +25% allowance is useful for tight CPU masks in scenarios where only a
few threads are created and destroyed to avoid frequent mode
switches. Though this allowance shrinks, the closer opt_cids becomes to
nr_cpu_ids, which is the (unfortunate) hard ABI limit.
At the point of switching to per CPU mode the new user is not yet visible
in the system, so the task which initiated the fork() runs the fixup
function: mm_cid_fixup_tasks_to_cpu() walks the thread list and either
transfers each tasks owned CID to the CPU the task runs on or drops it into
the CID pool if a task is not on a CPU at that point in time. Tasks which
schedule in before the task walk reaches them do the handover in
mm_cid_schedin(). When mm_cid_fixup_tasks_to_cpus() completes it's
guaranteed that no task related to that MM owns a CID anymore.
Switching back to task mode happens when the user count goes below the
threshold which was recorded on the per CPU mode switch:
pcpu_thrs = min(opt_cids - (opt_cids / 4), nr_cpu_ids / 2);
This threshold is updated when a affinity change increases the number of
allowed CPUs for the MM, which might cause a switch back to per task mode.
If the switch back was initiated by a exiting task, then that task runs the
fixup function. If it was initiated by a affinity change, then it's run
either in the deferred update function in context of a workqueue or by a
task which forks a new one or by a task which exits. Whatever happens
first. mm_cid_fixup_cpus_to_task() walks through the possible CPUs and
either transfers the CPU owned CIDs to a related task which runs on the CPU
or drops it into the pool. Tasks which schedule in on a CPU which the walk
did not cover yet do the handover themselves.
This transition from CPU to per task ownership happens in two phases:
1) mm:mm_cid.transit contains MM_CID_TRANSIT. This is OR'ed on the task
CID and denotes that the CID is only temporarily owned by the
task. When it schedules out the task drops the CID back into the
pool if this bit is set.
2) The initiating context walks the per CPU space and after completion
clears mm:mm_cid.transit. After that point the CIDs are strictly
task owned again.
This two phase transition is required to prevent CID space exhaustion
during the transition as a direct transfer of ownership would fail if
two tasks are scheduled in on the same CPU before the fixup freed per
CPU CIDs.
When mm_cid_fixup_cpus_to_tasks() completes it's guaranteed that no CID
related to that MM is owned by a CPU anymore.

The MM CID management has two fundamental requirements:
1) It has to guarantee that at no given point in time the same CID is
used by concurrent tasks in userspace.
2) The CID space must not exceed the number of possible CPUs in a
system. While most allocators (glibc, tcmalloc, jemalloc) do not
care about that, there seems to be at least some LTTng library
depending on it.
The CID space compaction itself is not a functional correctness
requirement, it is only a useful optimization mechanism to reduce the
memory foot print in unused user space pools.
The optimal CID space is:
min(nr_tasks, nr_cpus_allowed);
Where @nr_tasks is the number of actual user space threads associated to
the mm and @nr_cpus_allowed is the superset of all task affinities. It is
growth only as it would be insane to take a racy snapshot of all task
affinities when the affinity of one task changes just do redo it 2
milliseconds later when the next task changes it's affinity.
That means that as long as the number of tasks is lower or equal than the
number of CPUs allowed, each task owns a CID. If the number of tasks
exceeds the number of CPUs allowed it switches to per CPU mode, where the
CPUs own the CIDs and the tasks borrow them as long as they are scheduled
in.
For transition periods CIDs can go beyond the optimal space as long as they
don't go beyond the number of possible CPUs.
The current upstream implementation adds overhead into task migration to
keep the CID with the task. It also has to do the CID space consolidation
work from a task work in the exit to user space path. As that work is
assigned to a random task related to a MM this can inflict unwanted exit
latencies.
Implement the context switch parts of a strict ownership mechanism to
address this.
This removes most of the work from the task which schedules out. Only
during transitioning from per CPU to per task ownership it is required to
drop the CID when leaving the CPU to prevent CID space exhaustion. Other
than that scheduling out is just a single check and branch.
The task which schedules in has to check whether:
1) The ownership mode changed
2) The CID is within the optimal CID space
In stable situations this results in zero work. The only short disruption
is when ownership mode changes or when the associated CID is not in the
optimal CID space. The latter only happens when tasks exit and therefore
the optimal CID space shrinks.
That mechanism is strictly optimized for the common case where no change
happens. The only case where it actually causes a temporary one time spike
is on mode changes when and only when a lot of tasks related to a MM
schedule exactly at the same time and have eventually to compete on
allocating a CID from the bitmap.
In the sysbench test case which triggered the spinlock contention in the
initial CID code, __schedule() drops significantly in perf top on a 128
Core (256 threads) machine when running sysbench with 255 threads, which
fits into the task mode limit of 256 together with the parent thread:
Upstream rseq/perf branch +CID rework
0.42% 0.37% 0.32% [k] __schedule
Increasing the number of threads to 256, which puts the test process into
per CPU mode looks about the same.

This can be done differently by implementing a strict CID ownership
mechanism. Either the CIDs are owned by the tasks or by the CPUs. The
latter provides less locality when tasks are heavily migrating, but there
is no justification to optimize for overcommit scenarios and thereby
penalizing everyone else.
Provide the basic infrastructure to implement this:
- Change the UNSET marker to BIT(31) from ~0U
- Add the ONCPU marker as BIT(30)
- Add the TRANSIT marker as BIT(29)
That allows to check for ownership trivially and provides a simple check for
UNSET as well. The TRANSIT marker is required to prevent CID space
exhaustion when switching from per CPU to per task mode.

Reading mm::mm_users and mm:::mm_cid::nr_cpus_allowed every time to compute
the maximal CID value is just wasteful as that value is only changing on
fork(), exit() and eventually when the affinity changes.
So it can be easily precomputed at those points and provided in mm::mm_cid
for consumption in the hot path.
But there is an issue with using mm::mm_users for accounting because that
does not necessarily reflect the number of user space tasks as other kernel
code can take temporary references on the MM which skew the picture.
Solve that by adding a users counter to struct mm_mm_cid, which is modified
by fork() and exit() and used for precomputing under mm_mm_cid::lock.

*** Bug description ***
When testing kexec-reboot on a 144 cpus machine with
isolcpus=managed_irq,domain,1-71,73-143 in kernel command line, I
encounter the following bug:
[ 97.114759] psci: CPU142 killed (polled 0 ms)
[ 97.333236] Failed to offline CPU143 - error=-16
[ 97.333246] ------------[ cut here ]------------
[ 97.342682] kernel BUG at kernel/cpu.c:1569!
[ 97.347049] Internal error: Oops - BUG: 00000000f2000800 [#1] SMP
[...]
In essence, the issue originates from the CPU hot-removal process, not
limited to kexec. It can be reproduced by writing a SCHED_DEADLINE
program that waits indefinitely on a semaphore, spawning multiple
instances to ensure some run on CPU 72, and then offlining CPUs 1–143
one by one. When attempting this, CPU 143 failed to go offline.
bash -c 'taskset -cp 0 $$ && for i in {1..143}; do echo 0 > /sys/devices/system/cpu/cpu$i/online 2>/dev/null; done'
Tracking down this issue, I found that dl_bw_deactivate() returned
-EBUSY, which caused sched_cpu_deactivate() to fail on the last CPU.
But that is not the fact, and contributed by the following factors:
When a CPU is inactive, cpu_rq()->rd is set to def_root_domain. For an
blocked-state deadline task (in this case, "cppc_fie"), it was not
migrated to CPU0, and its task_rq() information is stale. So its rq->rd
points to def_root_domain instead of the one shared with CPU0. As a
result, its bandwidth is wrongly accounted into a wrong root domain
during domain rebuild.
*** Issue ***
The key point is that root_domain is only tracked through active rq->rd.
To avoid using a global data structure to track all root_domains in the
system, there should be a method to locate an active CPU within the
corresponding root_domain.
*** Solution ***
To locate the active cpu, the following rules for deadline
sub-system is useful
-1.any cpu belongs to a unique root domain at a given time
-2.DL bandwidth checker ensures that the root domain has active cpus.
Now, let's examine the blocked-state task P.
If P is attached to a cpuset that is a partition root, it is
straightforward to find an active CPU.
If P is attached to a cpuset that has changed from 'root' to 'member',
the active CPUs are grouped into the parent root domain. Naturally, the
CPUs' capacity and reserved DL bandwidth are taken into account in the
ancestor root domain. (In practice, it may be unsafe to attach P to an
arbitrary root domain, since that domain may lack sufficient DL
bandwidth for P.) Again, it is straightforward to find an active CPU in
the ancestor root domain.
This patch groups CPUs into isolated and housekeeping sets. For the
housekeeping group, it walks up the cpuset hierarchy to find active CPUs
in P's root domain and retrieves the valid rd from cpu_rq(cpu)->rd.

mm_update_cpus_allowed() is not required to be invoked for affinity changes
due to migrate_disable() and migrate_enable().
migrate_disable() restricts the task temporarily to a CPU on which the task
was already allowed to run, so nothing changes. migrate_enable() restores
the actual task affinity mask.
If that mask changed between migrate_disable() and migrate_enable() then
that change was already accounted for.
Move the invocation to the proper place to avoid that.

Many people reported regressions on their database workloads due to:
155213a2aed4 ("sched/fair: Bump sd->max_newidle_lb_cost when newidle balance fails")
For instance Adam Li reported a 6% regression on SpecJBB.
Conversely this will regress schbench again; on my machine from 2.22
Mrps/s down to 2.04 Mrps/s.

Reimplement NEXT_BUDDY preemption to take into account the deadline and
eligibility of the wakee with respect to the waker. In the event
multiple buddies could be considered, the one with the earliest deadline
is selected.
Sync wakeups are treated differently to every other type of wakeup. The
WF_SYNC assumption is that the waker promises to sleep in the very near
future. This is violated in enough cases that WF_SYNC should be treated
as a suggestion instead of a contract. If a waker does go to sleep almost
immediately then the delay in wakeup is negligible. In other cases, it's
throttled based on the accumulated runtime of the waker so there is a
chance that some batched wakeups have been issued before preemption.
For all other wakeups, preemption happens if the wakee has a earlier
deadline than the waker and eligible to run.
While many workloads were tested, the two main targets were a modified
dbench4 benchmark and hackbench because the are on opposite ends of the
spectrum -- one prefers throughput by avoiding preemption and the other
relies on preemption.
First is the dbench throughput data even though it is a poor metric but
it is the default metric. The test machine is a 2-socket machine and the
backing filesystem is XFS as a lot of the IO work is dispatched to kernel
threads. It's important to note that these results are not representative
across all machines, especially Zen machines, as different bottlenecks
are exposed on different machines and filesystems.

That is still looking good and the variance is reduced quite a bit.
Finally, fairness is a concern so the next report tracks how many
milliseconds does it take for all clients to complete a workfile. This
one is tricky because dbench makes to effort to synchronise clients so
the durations at benchmark start time differ substantially from typical
runtimes. This problem could be mitigated by warming up the benchmark
for a number of minutes but it's a matter of opinion whether that
counts as an evasion of inconvenient results.

This is more of a mixed bag but it at least shows that fairness
is not crippled.
The hackbench results are more neutral but this is still important.
It's possible to boost the dbench figures by a large amount but only by
crippling the performance of a workload like hackbench. The WF_SYNC
behaviour is important for these workloads and is why the WF_SYNC
changes are not a separate patch.

Processes using pipes are impacted but the variance (not presented) indicates
it's close to noise and the results are not always reproducible. If executed
across multiple reboots, it may show neutral or small gains so the worst

Hackbench using sockets is more reliably neutral as the wakeup

The NEXT_BUDDY feature reinforces wakeup preemption to encourage the last
wakee to be scheduled sooner on the assumption that the waker/wakee share
cache-hot data. In CFS, it was paired with LAST_BUDDY to switch back on
the assumption that the pair of tasks still share data but also relied
on START_DEBIT and the exact WAKEUP_PREEMPTION implementation to get
good results.
NEXT_BUDDY has been disabled since commit 0ec9fab3d186 ("sched: Improve
latencies and throughput") and LAST_BUDDY was removed in commit 5e963f2bd465
("sched/fair: Commit to EEVDF"). The reasoning is not clear but as vruntime
spread is mentioned so the expectation is that NEXT_BUDDY had an impact
on overall fairness. It was not noted why LAST_BUDDY was removed but it
is assumed that it's very difficult to reason what LAST_BUDDY's correct
and effective behaviour should be while still respecting EEVDFs goals.
Peter Zijlstra noted during review;
I think I was just struggling to make sense of things and figured
less is more and axed it.
I have vague memories trying to work through the dynamics of
a wakeup-stack and the EEVDF latency requirements and getting
a head-ache.
NEXT_BUDDY is easier to reason about given that it's a point-in-time
decision on the wakees deadline and eligibilty relative to the waker. Enable
NEXT_BUDDY as a preparation path to document that the decision to ignore
the current implementation is deliberate. While not presented, the results
were at best neutral and often much more variable.

The NUMA sched domain sets the SD_SERIALIZE flag by default, allowing
only one NUMA load balancing operation to run system-wide at a time.
Currently, each sched group leader directly under NUMA domain attempts
to acquire the global sched_balance_running flag via cmpxchg() before
checking whether load balancing is due or whether it is the designated
load balancer for that NUMA domain. On systems with a large number
of cores, this causes significant cache contention on the shared
sched_balance_running flag.
This patch reduces unnecessary cmpxchg() operations by first checking
that the balancer is the designated leader for a NUMA domain from
should_we_balance(), and the balance interval has expired before
trying to acquire sched_balance_running to load balance a NUMA
domain.
On a 2-socket Granite Rapids system with sub-NUMA clustering enabled,
running an OLTP workload, 7.8% of total CPU cycles were previously spent
in sched_balance_domain() contending on sched_balance_running before
this change.

This list is updated during from finish_task_switch(), which
cannot sleep. Regular spinlocks can be locked in such a context
in non-RT kernels, but are sleepable under when CONFIG_PREEMPT_RT=y.
Convert scx_task_locks into a raw spinlock, which is not sleepable
even on RT kernels.

In bypass mode, tasks are queued on per-CPU bypass DSQs. While this works well
in most cases, there is a failure mode where a BPF scheduler can skew task
placement severely before triggering bypass in highly over-saturated systems.
If most tasks end up concentrated on a few CPUs, those CPUs can accumulate
queues that are too long to drain in a reasonable time, leading to RCU stalls
and hung tasks.
Implement a simple timer-based load balancer that redistributes tasks across
CPUs within each NUMA node. The balancer runs periodically (default 500ms,
tunable via bypass_lb_intv_us module parameter) and moves tasks from overloaded
CPUs to underloaded ones.
When moving tasks between bypass DSQs, the load balancer holds nested DSQ locks
to avoid dropping and reacquiring the donor DSQ lock on each iteration, as
donor DSQs can be very long and highly contended. Add the SCX_ENQ_NESTED flag
and use raw_spin_lock_nested() in dispatch_enqueue() to support this. The load
balancer timer function reads scx_bypass_depth locklessly to check whether
bypass mode is active. Use WRITE_ONCE() when updating scx_bypass_depth to pair
with the READ_ONCE() in the timer function.
This has been tested on a 192 CPU dual socket AMD EPYC machine with ~20k
runnable tasks running scx_cpu0. As scx_cpu0 queues all tasks to CPU0, almost
all tasks end up on CPU0 creating severe imbalance. Without the load balancer,
disabling the scheduler can lead to RCU stalls and hung tasks, taking a very
long time to complete. With the load balancer, disable completes in about a
second.
The load balancing operation can be monitored using the sched_ext_bypass_lb
tracepoint and disabled by setting bypass_lb_intv_us to 0.
v2: Lock both rq and DSQ in bypass_lb_cpu() and use dispatch_dequeue_locked()
to prevent races with dispatch_dequeue() (Andrea Righi).

dispatch_dequeue_locked()
move_task_between_dsqs() contains open-coded abbreviated dequeue logic when
moving tasks between non-local DSQs. Factor this out into
dispatch_dequeue_locked() which can be used when both the task's rq and dsq
locks are already held. Add lockdep assertions to both dispatch_dequeue() and
the new helper to verify locking requirements.
This prepares for the load balancer which will need the same abbreviated
dequeue pattern.

A poorly behaving BPF scheduler can trigger hard lockup. For example, on a
large system with many tasks pinned to different subsets of CPUs, if the BPF
scheduler puts all tasks in a single DSQ and lets all CPUs at it, the DSQ lock
can be contended to the point where hardlockup triggers. Unfortunately,
hardlockup can be the first signal out of such situations, thus requiring
hardlockup handling.
Hook scx_hardlockup() into the hardlockup detector to try kicking out the
current scheduler in an attempt to recover the system to a good state. The
handling strategy can delay watchdog taking its own action by one polling
period; however, given that the only remediation for hardlockup is crash, this
is likely an acceptable trade-off.
v2: Add missing dummy scx_hardlockup() definition for
!CONFIG_SCHED_CLASS_EXT (kernel test bot).
