[ Upstream commit 5d808c78d97251af1d3a3e4f253e7d6c39fd871e ]

We met a SCHED_WARN in set_next_buddy():
  __warn_printk
  set_next_buddy
  yield_to_task_fair
  yield_to
  kvm_vcpu_yield_to [kvm]
  ...

After a short dig, we found the rq_lock held by yield_to() may not
be exactly the rq that the target task belongs to. There is a race
window against try_to_wake_up().

         CPU0                             target_task

                                        blocking on CPU1
   lock rq0 &amp; rq1
   double check task_rq == p_rq, ok
                                        woken to CPU2 (lock task_pi &amp; rq2)
                                        task_rq = rq2
   yield_to_task_fair (w/o lock rq2)

In this race window, yield_to() is operating the task w/o the correct
lock. Fix this by taking task pi_lock first.

<title>sched: fix warning in sched_setaffinity</title>

[ Upstream commit 70ee7947a29029736a1a06c73a48ff37674a851b ]

Commit 8f9ea86fdf99b added some logic to sched_setaffinity that included
a WARN when a per-task affinity assignment races with a cpuset update.

Specifically, we can have a race where a cpuset update results in the
task affinity no longer being a subset of the cpuset. That's fine; we
have a fallback to instead use the cpuset mask. However, we have a WARN
set up that will trigger if the cpuset mask has no overlap at all with
the requested task affinity. This shouldn't be a warning condition; its
trivial to create this condition.

Reproduced the warning by the following setup:

- $PID inside a cpuset cgroup
- another thread repeatedly switching the cpuset cpus from 1-2 to just 1
- another thread repeatedly setting the $PID affinity (via taskset) to 2

<title>sched: Pass correct scheduling policy to __setscheduler_class</title>

Commit 98442f0ccd82 ("sched: Fix delayed_dequeue vs
switched_from_fair()") overlooked that __setscheduler_prio(), now
__setscheduler_class() relies on p-&gt;policy for task_should_scx(), and
moved the call before __setscheduler_params() updates it, causing it
to be using the old p-&gt;policy value.

Resolve this by changing task_should_scx() to take the policy itself
instead of a task pointer, such that __sched_setscheduler() can pass
in the updated policy.

Commit 2e0199df252a ("sched/fair: Prepare exit/cleanup paths for delayed_dequeue")
and its follow up fixes try to deal with a rather unfortunate
situation where is task is enqueued in a new class, even though it
shouldn't have been. Mostly because the existing -&gt;switched_to/from()
hooks are in the wrong place for this case.

This all led to Paul being able to trigger failures at something like
once per 10k CPU hours of RCU torture.

For now, do the ugly thing and move the code to the right place by
ignoring the switch hooks.

Note: Clean up the whole sched_class::switch*_{to,from}() thing.

Pull sched_ext support from Tejun Heo:
 "This implements a new scheduler class called ‘ext_sched_class’, or
  sched_ext, which allows scheduling policies to be implemented as BPF
  programs.

  The goals of this are:

   - Ease of experimentation and exploration: Enabling rapid iteration
     of new scheduling policies.

   - Customization: Building application-specific schedulers which
     implement policies that are not applicable to general-purpose
     schedulers.

   - Rapid scheduler deployments: Non-disruptive swap outs of scheduling
     policies in production environments"

 - Implement the SCHED_DEADLINE server infrastructure - Daniel Bristot
   de Oliveira's last major contribution to the kernel:

     "SCHED_DEADLINE servers can help fixing starvation issues of low
      priority tasks (e.g., SCHED_OTHER) when higher priority tasks
      monopolize CPU cycles. Today we have RT Throttling; DEADLINE
      servers should be able to replace and improve that."

   (Daniel Bristot de Oliveira, Peter Zijlstra, Joel Fernandes, Youssef
   Esmat, Huang Shijie)

 - Preparatory changes for sched_ext integration:
     - Use set_next_task(.first) where required
     - Fix up set_next_task() implementations
     - Clean up DL server vs. core sched
     - Split up put_prev_task_balance()
     - Rework pick_next_task()
     - Combine the last put_prev_task() and the first set_next_task()
     - Rework dl_server
     - Add put_prev_task(.next)

   (Peter Zijlstra, with a fix by Tejun Heo)

 - Complete the EEVDF transition and refine EEVDF scheduling:
     - Implement delayed dequeue
     - Allow shorter slices to wakeup-preempt
     - Use sched_attr::sched_runtime to set request/slice suggestion
     - Document the new feature flags
     - Remove unused and duplicate-functionality fields
     - Simplify &amp; unify pick_next_task_fair()
     - Misc debuggability enhancements

   (Peter Zijlstra, with fixes/cleanups by Dietmar Eggemann, Valentin
   Schneider and Chuyi Zhou)

 - Initialize the vruntime of a new task when it is first enqueued,
   resulting in significant decrease in latency of newly woken tasks
   (Zhang Qiao)

 - Introduce SM_IDLE and an idle re-entry fast-path in __schedule()
   (K Prateek Nayak, Peter Zijlstra)

 - Clean up and clarify the usage of Clean up usage of rt_task()
   (Qais Yousef)

 - Preempt SCHED_IDLE entities in strict cgroup hierarchies
   (Tianchen Ding)

 - Clarify the documentation of time units for deadline scheduler
   parameters (Christian Loehle)

 - Remove the HZ_BW chicken-bit feature flag introduced a year ago,
   the original change seems to be working fine (Phil Auld)

<title>sched: Move update_other_load_avgs() to kernel/sched/pelt.c</title>

96fd6c65efc6 ("sched: Factor out update_other_load_avgs() from
__update_blocked_others()") added update_other_load_avgs() in
kernel/sched/syscalls.c right above effective_cpu_util(). This location
didn't fit that well in the first place, and with 5d871a63997f ("sched/fair:
Move effective_cpu_util() and effective_cpu_util() in fair.c") moving
effective_cpu_util() to kernel/sched/fair.c, it looks even more out of
place.

Relocate the function to kernel/sched/pelt.c where all its callees are.

No functional changes.

Pull in tip/sched/core to resolve two merge conflicts:

- 96fd6c65efc6 ("sched: Factor out update_other_load_avgs() from __update_blocked_others()")
  5d871a63997f ("sched/fair: Move effective_cpu_util() and effective_cpu_util() in fair.c")

  A simple context conflict. The former added __update_blocked_others() in
  the same #ifdef CONFIG_SMP block that effective_cpu_util() and
  sched_cpu_util() are in and the latter moved those functions to fair.c.
  This makes __update_blocked_others() more out of place. Will follow up
  with a patch to relocate.

- 96fd6c65efc6 ("sched: Factor out update_other_load_avgs() from __update_blocked_others()")
  84d265281d6c ("sched/pelt: Use rq_clock_task() for hw_pressure")

  The former factored out the body of __update_blocked_others() into
  update_other_load_avgs(). The latter changed how update_hw_load_avg() is
  called in the body. Resolved by applying the change to
  update_other_load_avgs() instead.

<title>hrtimer: Use and report correct timerslack values for realtime tasks</title>

<id>ed4fb6d7ef68111bb539283561953e5c6e9a6e38</id>
<content type='text'>
The timerslack_ns setting is used to specify how much the hardware
timers should be delayed, to potentially dispatch multiple timers in a
single interrupt. This is a performance optimization. Timers of
realtime tasks (having a realtime scheduling policy) should not be
delayed.

This logic was inconsitently applied to the hrtimers, leading to delays
of realtime tasks which used timed waits for events (e.g. condition
variables). Due to the downstream override of the slack for rt tasks,
the procfs reported incorrect (non-zero) timerslack_ns values.

This is changed by setting the timer_slack_ns task attribute to 0 for
all tasks with a rt policy. By that, downstream users do not need to
specially handle rt tasks (w.r.t. the slack), and the procfs entry
shows the correct value of "0". Setting non-zero slack values (either
via procfs or PR_SET_TIMERSLACK) on tasks with a rt policy is ignored,
as stated in "man 2 PR_SET_TIMERSLACK":

  Timer slack is not applied to threads that are scheduled under a
  real-time scheduling policy (see sched_setscheduler(2)).

The special handling of timerslack on rt tasks in downstream users
is removed as well.
