The ftrace selftest reported a failure because writing -1 to
sched_rt_runtime_us returns -EBUSY. This happens when the possible
CPUs are different from active CPUs.

Active CPUs are part of one root domain, while remaining CPUs are part
of def_root_domain. Since active cpumask is being used, this results in
cpus=0 when a non active CPUs is used in the loop.

Fix it by looping over the online CPUs instead for validating the
bandwidth calculations.

<title>sched/fair: Fix potential memory corruption in child_cfs_rq_on_list</title>

<content type='text'>
child_cfs_rq_on_list attempts to convert a 'prev' pointer to a cfs_rq.
This 'prev' pointer can originate from struct rq's leaf_cfs_rq_list,
making the conversion invalid and potentially leading to memory
corruption. Depending on the relative positions of leaf_cfs_rq_list and
the task group (tg) pointer within the struct, this can cause a memory
fault or access garbage data.

The issue arises in list_add_leaf_cfs_rq, where both
cfs_rq-&gt;leaf_cfs_rq_list and rq-&gt;leaf_cfs_rq_list are added to the same
leaf list. Also, rq-&gt;tmp_alone_branch can be set to rq-&gt;leaf_cfs_rq_list.

This adds a check `if (prev == &amp;rq-&gt;leaf_cfs_rq_list)` after the main
conditional in child_cfs_rq_on_list. This ensures that the container_of
operation will convert a correct cfs_rq struct.

This check is sufficient because only cfs_rqs on the same CPU are added
to the list, so verifying the 'prev' pointer against the current rq's list
head is enough.

Fixes a potential memory corruption issue that due to current struct
layout might not be manifesting as a crash but could lead to unpredictable
behavior when the layout changes.

David reported a warning observed while loop testing kexec jump:

  Interrupts enabled after irqrouter_resume+0x0/0x50
  WARNING: CPU: 0 PID: 560 at drivers/base/syscore.c:103 syscore_resume+0x18a/0x220
   kernel_kexec+0xf6/0x180
   __do_sys_reboot+0x206/0x250
   do_syscall_64+0x95/0x180

The corresponding interrupt flag trace:

  hardirqs last  enabled at (15573): [&lt;ffffffffa8281b8e&gt;] __up_console_sem+0x7e/0x90
  hardirqs last disabled at (15580): [&lt;ffffffffa8281b73&gt;] __up_console_sem+0x63/0x90

That means __up_console_sem() was invoked with interrupts enabled. Further
instrumentation revealed that in the interrupt disabled section of kexec
jump one of the syscore_suspend() callbacks woke up a task, which set the
NEED_RESCHED flag. A later callback in the resume path invoked
cond_resched() which in turn led to the invocation of the scheduler:

  __cond_resched+0x21/0x60
  down_timeout+0x18/0x60
  acpi_os_wait_semaphore+0x4c/0x80
  acpi_ut_acquire_mutex+0x3d/0x100
  acpi_ns_get_node+0x27/0x60
  acpi_ns_evaluate+0x1cb/0x2d0
  acpi_rs_set_srs_method_data+0x156/0x190

  irqrouter_resume+0x54/0x60
  syscore_resume+0x6a/0x200
  kernel_kexec+0x145/0x1c0
  __do_sys_reboot+0xeb/0x240
  do_syscall_64+0x95/0x180

This is a long standing problem, which probably got more visible with
the recent printk changes. Something does a task wakeup and the
scheduler sets the NEED_RESCHED flag. cond_resched() sees it set and
invokes schedule() from a completely bogus context. The scheduler
enables interrupts after context switching, which causes the above
warning at the end.

Quite some of the code paths in syscore_suspend()/resume() can result in
triggering a wakeup with the exactly same consequences. They might not
have done so yet, but as they share a lot of code with normal operations
it's just a question of time.

The problem only affects the PREEMPT_NONE and PREEMPT_VOLUNTARY scheduling
models. Full preemption is not affected as cond_resched() is disabled and
the preemption check preemptible() takes the interrupt disabled flag into
account.

Cure the problem by adding a corresponding check into cond_resched().

a6250aa251ea ("sched_ext: Handle cases where pick_task_scx() is called
without preceding balance_scx()") added a workaround to handle the cases
where pick_task_scx() is called without prececing balance_scx() which is due
to a fair class bug where pick_taks_fair() may return NULL after a true
return from balance_fair().

The workaround detects when pick_task_scx() is called without preceding
balance_scx() and emulates SCX_RQ_BAL_KEEP and triggers kicking to avoid
stalling. Unfortunately, the workaround code was testing whether @prev was
on SCX to decide whether to keep the task running. This is incorrect as the
task may be on SCX but no longer runnable.

This could lead to a non-runnable task to be returned from pick_task_scx()
which cause interesting confusions and failures. e.g. A common failure mode
is the task ending up with (!on_rq &amp;&amp; on_cpu) state which can cause
potential wakers to busy loop, which can easily lead to deadlocks.

Fix it by testing whether @prev has SCX_TASK_QUEUED set. This makes
@prev_on_scx only used in one place. Open code the usage and improve the
comment while at it.

<title>sched: Compact RSEQ concurrency IDs with reduced threads and affinity</title>

<id>02d954c0fdf91845169cdacc7405b120f90afe01</id>
<content type='text'>
When a process reduces its number of threads or clears bits in its CPU
affinity mask, the mm_cid allocation should eventually converge towards
smaller values.

However, the change introduced by:

commit 7e019dcc470f ("sched: Improve cache locality of RSEQ concurrency
IDs for intermittent workloads")

adds a per-mm/CPU recent_cid which is never unset unless a thread
migrates.

This is a tradeoff between:

A) Preserving cache locality after a transition from many threads to few
   threads, or after reducing the hamming weight of the allowed CPU mask.

B) Making the mm_cid upper bounds wrt nr threads and allowed CPU mask
   easy to document and understand.

C) Allowing applications to eventually react to mm_cid compaction after
   reduction of the nr threads or allowed CPU mask, making the tracking
   of mm_cid compaction easier by shrinking it back towards 0 or not.

D) Making sure applications that periodically reduce and then increase
   again the nr threads or allowed CPU mask still benefit from good
   cache locality with mm_cid.

Introduce the following changes:

* After shrinking the number of threads or reducing the number of
  allowed CPUs, reduce the value of max_nr_cid so expansion of CID
  allocation will preserve cache locality if the number of threads or
  allowed CPUs increase again.

* Only re-use a recent_cid if it is within the max_nr_cid upper bound,
  else find the first available CID.

  allocation will preserve cache locality if the number of threads or
  allowed CPUs increase again.

* Only re-use a recent_cid if it is within the max_nr_cid upper bound,
  else find the first available CID.

Pull sched_ext fixes from Tejun Heo:

 - Fix lock imbalance in a corner case of dispatch_to_local_dsq()

 - Migration disabled tasks were confusing some BPF schedulers and its
   handling had a bug. Fix it and simplify the default behavior by
   dispatching them automatically

 - ops.tick(), ops.disable() and ops.exit_task() were incorrectly
   disallowing kfuncs that require the task argument to be the rq
   operation is currently operating on and thus is rq-locked.
   Allow them.

 - Fix autogroup migration handling bug which was occasionally
   triggering a warning in the cgroup migration path

 - tools/sched_ext, selftest and other misc updates

<title>sched_ext: Use SCX_CALL_OP_TASK in task_tick_scx</title>

Now when we use scx_bpf_task_cgroup() in ops.tick() to get the cgroup of
the current task, the following error will occur:

scx_foo[3795244] triggered exit kind 1024:
  runtime error (called on a task not being operated on)

The reason is that we are using SCX_CALL_OP() instead of SCX_CALL_OP_TASK()
when calling ops.tick(), which triggers the error during the subsequent
scx_kf_allowed_on_arg_tasks() check.

SCX_CALL_OP_TASK() was first introduced in commit 36454023f50b ("sched_ext:
Track tasks that are subjects of the in-flight SCX operation") to ensure
task's rq lock is held when accessing task's sched_group. Since ops.tick()
is marked as SCX_KF_TERMINAL and task_tick_scx() is protected by the rq
lock, we can use SCX_CALL_OP_TASK() to avoid the above issue. Similarly,
the same changes should be made for ops.disable() and ops.exit_task(), as
they are also protected by task_rq_lock() and it's safe to access the
task's task_group.
