commit 18f08e758f34e6dfe0668bee51bd2af7adacf381 upstream.

Currently, trc_inspect_reader() treats a task exiting its RCU Tasks
Trace read-side critical section the same as being within that critical
section.  However, this can fail because that task might have already
checked its .need_qs field, which means that it might never decrement
the all-important trc_n_readers_need_end counter.  Of course, for that
to happen, the task would need to never again execute an RCU Tasks Trace
read-side critical section, but this really could happen if the system's
last trampoline was removed.  Note that exit from such a critical section
cannot be treated as a quiescent state due to the possibility of nested
critical sections.  This means that if trc_inspect_reader() sees a
negative nesting value, it must set up to try again later.

This commit therefore ignores tasks that are exiting their RCU Tasks
Trace read-side critical sections so that they will be rechecked later.

<title>rcu-tasks: Wait for trc_read_check_handler() IPIs</title>

commit cbe0d8d91415c9692fe88191940d98952b6855d9 upstream.

Currently, RCU Tasks Trace initializes the trc_n_readers_need_end counter
to the value one, increments it before each trc_read_check_handler()
IPI, then decrements it within trc_read_check_handler() if the target
task was in a quiescent state (or if the target task moved to some other
CPU while the IPI was in flight), complaining if the new value was zero.
The rationale for complaining is that the initial value of one must be
decremented away before zero can be reached, and this decrement has not
yet happened.

Except that trc_read_check_handler() is initiated with an asynchronous
smp_call_function_single(), which might be significantly delayed.  This
can result in false-positive complaints about the counter reaching zero.

This commit therefore waits for in-flight IPI handlers to complete before
decrementing away the initial value of one from the trc_n_readers_need_end
counter.

<title>rcu-tasks: Fix IPI failure handling in trc_wait_for_one_reader</title>

commit 46aa886c483f57ef13cd5ea0a85e70b93eb1d381 upstream.

The trc_wait_for_one_reader() function is called at multiple stages
of trace rcu-tasks GP function, rcu_tasks_wait_gp():

- First, it is called as part of per task function -
  rcu_tasks_trace_pertask(), for all non-idle tasks. As part of per task
  processing, this function add the task in the holdout list and if the
  task is currently running on a CPU, it sends IPI to the task's CPU.
  The IPI handler takes action depending on whether task is in trace
  rcu-tasks read side critical section or not:

  - a. If the task is in trace rcu-tasks read side critical section
       (t-&gt;trc_reader_nesting != 0), the IPI handler sets the task's
       -&gt;trc_reader_special.b.need_qs, so that this task notifies exit
       from its outermost read side critical section (by decrementing
       trc_n_readers_need_end) to the GP handling function.
       trc_wait_for_one_reader() also increments trc_n_readers_need_end,
       so that the trace rcu-tasks GP handler function waits for this
       task's read side exit notification. The IPI handler also sets
       t-&gt;trc_reader_checked to true, and no further IPIs are sent for
       this task, for this trace rcu-tasks grace period and this
       task can be removed from holdout list.

  - b. If the task is in the process of exiting its trace rcu-tasks
       read side critical section, (t-&gt;trc_reader_nesting &lt; 0), defer
       this task's processing to future calls to trc_wait_for_one_reader().

  - c. If task is not in rcu-task read side critical section,
       t-&gt;trc_reader_nesting == 0, -&gt;trc_reader_checked is set for this
       task, so that this task is removed from holdout list.

- Second, trc_wait_for_one_reader() is called as part of post scan, in
  function rcu_tasks_trace_postscan(), for all idle tasks.

- Third, in function check_all_holdout_tasks_trace(), this function is
  called for each task in the holdout list, but only if there isn't
  a pending IPI for the task (-&gt;trc_ipi_to_cpu == -1). This function
  removed the task from holdout list, if IPI handler has completed the
  required work, to ensure that the current trace rcu-tasks grace period
  either waits for this task, or this task is not in a trace rcu-tasks
  read side critical section.

Now, considering the scenario where smp_call_function_single() fails in
first case, inside rcu_tasks_trace_pertask(). In this case,
-&gt;trc_ipi_to_cpu is set to the current CPU for that task. This will
result in trc_wait_for_one_reader() getting skipped in third case,
inside check_all_holdout_tasks_trace(), for this task. This further
results in -&gt;trc_reader_checked never getting set for this task,
and the task not getting removed from holdout list. This can cause
the current trace rcu-tasks grace period to stall.

Fix the above problem, by resetting -&gt;trc_ipi_to_cpu to -1, on
smp_call_function_single() failure, so that future IPI calls can
be send for this task.

Note that all three of the trc_wait_for_one_reader() function's
callers (rcu_tasks_trace_pertask(), rcu_tasks_trace_postscan(),
check_all_holdout_tasks_trace()) hold cpu_read_lock().  This means
that smp_call_function_single() cannot race with CPU hotplug, and thus
should never fail.  Therefore, also add a warning in order to report
any such failure in case smp_call_function_single() grows some other
reason for failure.

<title>rcu: Prevent expedited GP from enabling tick on offline CPU</title>

commit 147f04b14adde831eb4a0a1e378667429732f9e8 upstream.

If an RCU expedited grace period starts just when a CPU is in the process
of going offline, so that the outgoing CPU has completed its pass through
stop-machine but has not yet completed its final dive into the idle loop,
RCU will attempt to enable that CPU's scheduling-clock tick via a call
to tick_dep_set_cpu().  For this to happen, that CPU has to have been
online when the expedited grace period completed its CPU-selection phase.

This is pointless:  The outgoing CPU has interrupts disabled, so it cannot
take a scheduling-clock tick anyway.  In addition, the tick_dep_set_cpu()
function's eventual call to irq_work_queue_on() will splat as follows:

CPUs to limit both futility and false-positive splats.

commit 2abcc4b5a64a65a2d2287ba0be5c2871c1552416 upstream.

module_init_layout_section() choses whether the core module loader
considers a section as init or not. This affects the placement of the
exit section when module unloading is disabled. This code will never run,
so it can be free()d once the module has been initialised.

arm and arm64 need to count the number of PLTs they need before applying
relocations based on the section name. The init PLTs are stored separately
so they can be free()d. arm and arm64 both use within_module_init() to
decide which list of PLTs to use when applying the relocation.

Because within_module_init()'s behaviour changes when module unloading
is disabled, both architecture would need to take this into account when
counting the PLTs.

Today neither architecture does this, meaning when module unloading is
disabled there are insufficient PLTs in the init section to load some
modules, resulting in warnings:

commit 2ef269ef1ac006acf974793d975539244d77b28f upstream.

cpuset_can_attach() can fail. Postpone DL BW allocation until all tasks
have been checked. DL BW is not allocated per-task but as a sum over
all DL tasks migrating.

If multiple controllers are attached to the cgroup next to the cpuset
controller a non-cpuset can_attach() can fail. In this case free DL BW
in cpuset_cancel_attach().

Finally, update cpuset DL task count (nr_deadline_tasks) only in
cpuset_attach().

<title>sched/deadline: Create DL BW alloc, free &amp; check overflow interface</title>

commit 85989106feb734437e2d598b639991b9185a43a6 upstream.

While moving a set of tasks between exclusive cpusets,
cpuset_can_attach() -&gt; task_can_attach() calls dl_cpu_busy(..., p) for
DL BW overflow checking and per-task DL BW allocation on the destination
root_domain for the DL tasks in this set.

This approach has the issue of not freeing already allocated DL BW in
the following error cases:

(1) The set of tasks includes multiple DL tasks and DL BW overflow
    checking fails for one of the subsequent DL tasks.

(2) Another controller next to the cpuset controller which is attached
    to the same cgroup fails in its can_attach().

To address this problem rework dl_cpu_busy():

(1) Split it into dl_bw_check_overflow() &amp; dl_bw_alloc() and add a
    dedicated dl_bw_free().

(2) dl_bw_alloc() &amp; dl_bw_free() take a `u64 dl_bw` parameter instead of
    a `struct task_struct *p` used in dl_cpu_busy(). This allows to
    allocate DL BW for a set of tasks too rather than only for a single
    task.

commit c0f78fd5edcf29b2822ac165f9248a6c165e8554 upstream.

update_tasks_root_domain currently iterates over all tasks even if no
DEADLINE task is present on the cpuset/root domain for which bandwidth
accounting is being rebuilt. This has been reported to introduce 10+ ms
delays on suspend-resume operations.

Skip the costly iteration for cpusets that don't contain DEADLINE tasks.

commit 6c24849f5515e4966d94fa5279bdff4acf2e9489 upstream.

Qais reported that iterating over all tasks when rebuilding root domains
for finding out which ones are DEADLINE and need their bandwidth
correctly restored on such root domains can be a costly operation (10+
ms delays on suspend-resume).

To fix the problem keep track of the number of DEADLINE tasks belonging
to each cpuset and then use this information (followup patch) to only
perform the above iteration if DEADLINE tasks are actually present in
the cpuset for which a corresponding root domain is being rebuilt.

commit 111cd11bbc54850f24191c52ff217da88a5e639b upstream.

Turns out percpu_cpuset_rwsem - commit 1243dc518c9d ("cgroup/cpuset:
Convert cpuset_mutex to percpu_rwsem") - wasn't such a brilliant idea,
as it has been reported to cause slowdowns in workloads that need to
change cpuset configuration frequently and it is also not implementing
priority inheritance (which causes troubles with realtime workloads).

Convert percpu_cpuset_rwsem back to regular cpuset_mutex. Also grab it
only for SCHED_DEADLINE tasks (other policies don't care about stable
cpusets anyway).
