John reported that push_rt_task() can end up invoking
find_lowest_rq(rq->curr) when curr is not an RT task (in this case a CFS
one), which causes mayhem down convert_prio().
This can happen when current gets demoted to e.g. CFS when releasing an
rt_mutex, and the local CPU gets hit with an rto_push_work irqwork before
getting the chance to reschedule. Exactly who triggers this work isn't
entirely clear to me - switched_from_rt() only invokes rt_queue_pull_task()
if there are no RT tasks on the local RQ, which means the local CPU can't
be in the rto_mask.
My current suspected sequence is something along the lines of the below,
with the demoted task being current.
mark_wakeup_next_waiter()
rt_mutex_adjust_prio()
rt_mutex_setprio() // deboost originally-CFS task
check_class_changed()
switched_from_rt() // Only rt_queue_pull_task() if !rq->rt.rt_nr_running
switched_to_fair() // Sets need_resched
__balance_callbacks() // if pull_rt_task(), tell_cpu_to_push() can't select local CPU per the above
raw_spin_rq_unlock(rq)
// need_resched is set, so task_woken_rt() can't
// invoke push_rt_tasks(). Best I can come up with is
// local CPU has rt_nr_migratory >= 2 after the demotion, so stays
// in the rto_mask, and then:
<some other CPU running rto_push_irq_work_func() queues rto_push_work on this CPU>
push_rt_task()
// breakage follows here as rq->curr is CFS
Move an existing check to check rq->curr vs the next pushable task's
priority before getting anywhere near find_lowest_rq(). While at it, add an
explicit sched_class of rq->curr check prior to invoking
find_lowest_rq(rq->curr). Align the DL logic to also reschedule regardless
of next_task's migratability.

When rt_runtime is -1, The rt period timer will not be activated when task

Kevin is reporting crashes which point to a use-after-free of a cfs_rq
in update_blocked_averages(). Initial debugging revealed that we've
live cfs_rq's (on_list=1) in an about to be kfree()'d task group in
free_fair_sched_group(). However, it was unclear how that can happen.
His kernel config happened to lead to a layout of struct sched_entity
that put the 'my_q' member directly into the middle of the object
which makes it incidentally overlap with SLUB's freelist pointer.
That, in combination with SLAB_FREELIST_HARDENED's freelist pointer
mangling, leads to a reliable access violation in form of a #GP which
made the UAF fail fast.
Michal seems to have run into the same issue[1]. He already correctly
diagnosed that commit a7b359fc6a ("sched/fair: Correctly insert
cfs_rq's to list on unthrottle") is causing the preconditions for the
UAF to happen by re-adding cfs_rq's also to task groups that have no
more running tasks, i.e. also to dead ones. His analysis, however,
misses the real root cause and it cannot be seen from the crash
backtrace only, as the real offender is tg_unthrottle_up() getting
called via sched_cfs_period_timer() via the timer interrupt at an
inconvenient time.
When unregister_fair_sched_group() unlinks all cfs_rq's from the dying
task group, it doesn't protect itself from getting interrupted. If the
timer interrupt triggers while we iterate over all CPUs or after
unregister_fair_sched_group() has finished but prior to unlinking the
task group, sched_cfs_period_timer() will execute and walk the list of
task groups, trying to unthrottle cfs_rq's, i.e. re-add them to the
dying task group. These will later -- in free_fair_sched_group() -- be
kfree()'ed while still being linked, leading to the fireworks Kevin
and Michal are seeing.
To fix this race, ensure the dying task group gets unlinked first.
However, simply switching the order of unregistering and unlinking the
task group isn't sufficient, as concurrent RCU walkers might still see
it, as can be seen below:
CPU1: CPU2:
: timer IRQ:
: do_sched_cfs_period_timer():
: :
: distribute_cfs_runtime():
: rcu_read_lock();
: :
: unthrottle_cfs_rq():
sched_offline_group(): :
: walk_tg_tree_from(…,tg_unthrottle_up,…):
list_del_rcu(&tg->list); :
(1) : list_for_each_entry_rcu(child, &parent->children, siblings)
: :
(2) list_del_rcu(&tg->siblings); :
: tg_unthrottle_up():
unregister_fair_sched_group(): struct cfs_rq *cfs_rq = tg->cfs_rq[cpu_of(rq)];
: :
list_del_leaf_cfs_rq(tg->cfs_rq[cpu]); :
: :
: if (!cfs_rq_is_decayed(cfs_rq) || cfs_rq->nr_running)
(3) : list_add_leaf_cfs_rq(cfs_rq);
: :
: :
: :
: :
: :
(4) : rcu_read_unlock();
CPU 2 walks the task group list in parallel to sched_offline_group(),
specifically, it'll read the soon to be unlinked task group entry at
(1). Unlinking it on CPU 1 at (2) therefore won't prevent CPU 2 from
still passing it on to tg_unthrottle_up(). CPU 1 now tries to unlink
all cfs_rq's via list_del_leaf_cfs_rq() in
unregister_fair_sched_group(). Meanwhile CPU 2 will re-add some of
these at (3), which is the cause of the UAF later on.
To prevent this additional race from happening, we need to wait until
walk_tg_tree_from() has finished traversing the task groups, i.e.
after the RCU read critical section ends in (4). Afterwards we're safe
to call unregister_fair_sched_group(), as each new walk won't see the
dying task group any more.
On top of that, we need to wait yet another RCU grace period after
unregister_fair_sched_group() to ensure print_cfs_stats(), which might
run concurrently, always sees valid objects, i.e. not already free'd
ones.
This patch survives Michal's reproducer[2] for 8h+ now, which used to
trigger within minutes before.

We want to measure the latency of RT tasks in our production
environment with schedstats facility, but currently schedstats is only
supported for fair sched class. This patch enable it for RT sched class
as well.
After we make the struct sched_statistics and the helpers of it
independent of fair sched class, we can easily use the schedstats
facility for RT sched class.
The schedstat usage in RT sched class is similar with fair sched class,
for example,
fair RT
enqueue update_stats_enqueue_fair update_stats_enqueue_rt
dequeue update_stats_dequeue_fair update_stats_dequeue_rt
put_prev_task update_stats_wait_start update_stats_wait_start_rt
set_next_task update_stats_wait_end update_stats_wait_end_rt
The user can get the schedstats information in the same way in fair sched
class. For example,
fair RT
/proc/[pid]/sched /proc/[pid]/sched
schedstats is not supported for RT group.
The output of a RT task's schedstats as follows,

If we want to use the schedstats facility to trace other sched classes, we
should make it independent of fair sched class. The struct sched_statistics
is the schedular statistics of a task_struct or a task_group. So we can
move it into struct task_struct and struct task_group to achieve the goal.
After the patch, schestats are orgnized as follows,
struct task_struct {
...
struct sched_entity se;
struct sched_rt_entity rt;
struct sched_dl_entity dl;
...
struct sched_statistics stats;
...
};
Regarding the task group, schedstats is only supported for fair group
sched, and a new struct sched_entity_stats is introduced, suggested by
Peter -
struct sched_entity_stats {
struct sched_entity se;
struct sched_statistics stats;
} __no_randomize_layout;
Then with the se in a task_group, we can easily get the stats.
The sched_statistics members may be frequently modified when schedstats is
enabled, in order to avoid impacting on random data which may in the same
cacheline with them, the struct sched_statistics is defined as cacheline
aligned.
As this patch changes the core struct of scheduler, so I verified the
performance it may impact on the scheduler with 'perf bench sched
pipe', suggested by Mel. Below is the result, in which all the values
are in usecs/op.
Before After
kernel.sched_schedstats=0 5.2~5.4 5.2~5.4
kernel.sched_schedstats=1 5.3~5.5 5.3~5.5
[These data is a little difference with the earlier version, that is
because my old test machine is destroyed so I have to use a new
different test machine.]
Almost no impact on the sched performance.
No functional change.

RT keeps track of the utilization on a per-rq basis with the structure
avg_rt. This utilization is updated during task_tick_rt(),
put_prev_task_rt() and set_next_task_rt(). However, when the current
running task changes its policy, set_next_task_rt() which would usually
take care of updating the utilization when the rq starts running RT tasks,
will not see a such change, leaving the avg_rt structure outdated. When
that very same task will be dequeued later, put_prev_task_rt() will then
update the utilization, based on a wrong last_update_time, leading to a
huge spike in the RT utilization signal.
The signal would eventually recover from this issue after few ms. Even if
no RT tasks are run, avg_rt is also updated in __update_blocked_others().
But as the CPU capacity depends partly on the avg_rt, this issue has
nonetheless a significant impact on the scheduler.
Fix this issue by ensuring a load update when a running task changes
its policy to RT.

In order to minimize the interference of migrate_disable() on lower
priority tasks, which can be deprived of runtime due to being stuck
below a higher priority task. Teach the RT/DL balancers to push away
these higher priority tasks when a lower priority task gets selected
to run on a freshly demoted CPU (pull).
This adds migration interference to the higher priority task, but
restores bandwidth to system that would otherwise be irrevocably lost.
Without this it would be possible to have all tasks on the system
stuck on a single CPU, each task preempted in a migrate_disable()
section with a single high priority task running.
This way we can still approximate running the M highest priority tasks
on the system.
Migrating the top task away is (ofcourse) still subject to
migrate_disable() too, which means the lower task is subject to an
interference equivalent to the worst case migrate_disable() section.

Also; it looks like the RT balancers don't respect cpu_active() and

When users write some huge number into cpu.cfs_quota_us or
cpu.rt_runtime_us, overflow might happen during to_ratio() shifts of
schedulable checks.
to_ratio() could be altered to avoid unnecessary internal overflow, but
min_cfs_quota_period is less than 1 << BW_SHIFT, so a cutoff would still
be needed. Set a cap MAX_BW for cfs_quota_us and rt_runtime_us to
prevent overflow.

Instead of having all the sysctl handlers deal with user pointers, which
is rather hairy in terms of the BPF interaction, copy the input to and
from userspace in common code. This also means that the strings are
always NUL-terminated by the common code, making the API a little bit
safer.
As most handler just pass through the data to one of the common handlers
a lot of the changes are mechnical.

In task_woken_rt() and switched_to_rto() we try trigger push-pull if the
task is unfit.
But the logic is found lacking because if the task was the only one
running on the CPU, then rt_rq is not in overloaded state and won't
trigger a push.
The necessity of this logic was under a debate as well, a summary of
the discussion can be found in the following thread:

But if the search failed, and the search was only triggered to fulfill

Group RT scheduler contains protection against setting zero runtime for
cgroup with RT tasks. Right now function tg_set_rt_bandwidth() iterates
over all CPU cgroups and calls tg_has_rt_tasks() for any cgroup which
runtime is zero (not only for changed one). Default RT runtime is zero,
thus tg_has_rt_tasks() will is called for almost at CPU cgroups.
This protection already is slightly racy: runtime limit could be changed
between cpu_cgroup_can_attach() and cpu_cgroup_attach() because changing
cgroup attribute does not lock cgroup_mutex while attach does not lock
rt_constraints_mutex. Changing task scheduler class also races with
changing rt runtime: check in __sched_setscheduler() isn't protected.
Function tg_has_rt_tasks() iterates over all threads in the system.
This gives NR_CGROUPS * NR_TASKS operations under single tasklist_lock
locked for read tg_set_rt_bandwidth(). Any concurrent attempt of locking
tasklist_lock for write (for example fork) will stuck with disabled irqs.
This patch makes two optimizations:
1) Remove locking tasklist_lock and iterate only tasks in cgroup
2) Call tg_has_rt_tasks() iff rt runtime changes from non-zero to zero
All changed code is under CONFIG_RT_GROUP_SCHED.
Testcase:
# mkdir /sys/fs/cgroup/cpu/test{1..10000}
# echo 0 | tee /sys/fs/cgroup/cpu/test*/cpu.rt_runtime_us
At the same time without patch fork time will be >100ms:
# perf trace -e clone --duration 100 stress-ng --fork 1
Also remote ping will show timings >100ms caused by irq latency.

Capacity Awareness refers to the fact that on heterogeneous systems
(like Arm big.LITTLE), the capacity of the CPUs is not uniform, hence
when placing tasks we need to be aware of this difference of CPU
capacities.
In such scenarios we want to ensure that the selected CPU has enough
capacity to meet the requirement of the running task. Enough capacity
means here that capacity_orig_of(cpu) >= task.requirement.
The definition of task.requirement is dependent on the scheduling class.
For CFS, utilization is used to select a CPU that has >= capacity value
than the cfs_task.util.
capacity_orig_of(cpu) >= cfs_task.util
DL isn't capacity aware at the moment but can make use of the bandwidth
reservation to implement that in a similar manner CFS uses utilization.
The following patchset implements that:
https://lore.kernel.org/lkml/20190506044836.2914-1-luca.abeni@santannapisa.it/
capacity_orig_of(cpu)/SCHED_CAPACITY >= dl_deadline/dl_runtime
For RT we don't have a per task utilization signal and we lack any
information in general about what performance requirement the RT task
needs. But with the introduction of uclamp, RT tasks can now control
that by setting uclamp_min to guarantee a minimum performance point.
ATM the uclamp value are only used for frequency selection; but on
heterogeneous systems this is not enough and we need to ensure that the
capacity of the CPU is >= uclamp_min. Which is what implemented here.
capacity_orig_of(cpu) >= rt_task.uclamp_min
Note that by default uclamp.min is 1024, which means that RT tasks will
always be biased towards the big CPUs, which make for a better more
predictable behavior for the default case.
Must stress that the bias acts as a hint rather than a definite
placement strategy. For example, if all big cores are busy executing
other RT tasks we can't guarantee that a new RT task will be placed
there.
On non-heterogeneous systems the original behavior of RT should be
retained. Similarly if uclamp is not selected in the config.

Commit 67692435c4 ("sched: Rework pick_next_task() slow-path")
inadvertly introduced a race because it changed a previously
unexplored dependency between dropping the rq->lock and
sched_class::put_prev_task().
The comments about dropping rq->lock, in for example
newidle_balance(), only mentions the task being current and ->on_cpu
being set. But when we look at the 'change' pattern (in for example
sched_setnuma()):
queued = task_on_rq_queued(p); /* p->on_rq == TASK_ON_RQ_QUEUED */
running = task_current(rq, p); /* rq->curr == p */
if (queued)
dequeue_task(...);
if (running)
put_prev_task(...);
/* change task properties */
if (queued)
enqueue_task(...);
if (running)
set_next_task(...);
It becomes obvious that if we do this after put_prev_task() has
already been called on @p, things go sideways. This is exactly what
the commit in question allows to happen when it does:
prev->sched_class->put_prev_task(rq, prev, rf);
if (!rq->nr_running)
newidle_balance(rq, rf);
The newidle_balance() call will drop rq->lock after we've called
put_prev_task() and that allows the above 'change' pattern to
interleave and mess up the state.
Furthermore, it turns out we lost the RT-pull when we put the last DL
task.
Fix both problems by extracting the balancing from put_prev_task() and
doing a multi-class balance() pass before put_prev_task().

"Timers and timekeeping updates:
- A large overhaul of the posix CPU timer code which is a preparation
for moving the CPU timer expiry out into task work so it can be
properly accounted on the task/process.
An update to the bogus permission checks will come later during the
merge window as feedback was not complete before heading of for
travel.
- Switch the timerqueue code to use cached rbtrees and get rid of the
homebrewn caching of the leftmost node.
- Consolidate hrtimer_init() + hrtimer_init_sleeper() calls into a
single function
- Implement the separation of hrtimers to be forced to expire in hard
interrupt context even when PREEMPT_RT is enabled and mark the
affected timers accordingly.
- Implement a mechanism for hrtimers and the timer wheel to protect
RT against priority inversion and live lock issues when a (hr)timer
which should be canceled is currently executing the callback.
Instead of infinitely spinning, the task which tries to cancel the
timer blocks on a per cpu base expiry lock which is held and
released by the (hr)timer expiry code.
- Enable the Hyper-V TSC page based sched_clock for Hyper-V guests
resulting in faster access to timekeeping functions.
- Updates to various clocksource/clockevent drivers and their device
tree bindings.

Avoid the RETRY_TASK case in the pick_next_task() slow path.
By doing the put_prev_task() early, we get the rt/deadline pull done,
and by testing rq->nr_running we know if we need newidle_balance().
This then gives a stable state to pick a task from.
Since the fast-path is fair only; it means the other classes will
always have pick_next_task(.prev=NULL, .rf=NULL) and we can simplify.

Currently the pick_next_task() loop is convoluted and ugly because of
how it can drop the rq->lock and needs to restart the picking.
For the RT/Deadline classes, it is put_prev_task() where we do

set_curr_task() ended up in pick_next_task, correct this.
This prepares the way for a pick_next_task() variant that does not

Each time a frequency update is required via schedutil, a frequency is
selected to (possibly) satisfy the utilization reported by each
scheduling class and irqs. However, when utilization clamping is in use,
the frequency selection should consider userspace utilization clamping
hints. This will allow, for example, to:
- boost tasks which are directly affecting the user experience
by running them at least at a minimum "requested" frequency
- cap low priority tasks not directly affecting the user experience
by running them only up to a maximum "allowed" frequency
These constraints are meant to support a per-task based tuning of the
frequency selection thus supporting a fine grained definition of
performance boosting vs energy saving strategies in kernel space.
Add support to clamp the utilization of RUNNABLE FAIR and RT tasks
within the boundaries defined by their aggregated utilization clamp
constraints.
Do that by considering the max(min_util, max_util) to give boosted tasks
the performance they need even when they happen to be co-scheduled with
other capped tasks.

In commit:
4b53a3412d ("sched/core: Remove the tsk_nr_cpus_allowed() wrapper")
the tsk_nr_cpus_allowed() wrapper was removed. There was not
much difference in !RT but in RT we used this to implement
migrate_disable(). Within a migrate_disable() section the CPU mask is
restricted to single CPU while the "normal" CPU mask remains untouched.
As an alternative implementation Ingo suggested to use:
struct task_struct {
const cpumask_t *cpus_ptr;
cpumask_t cpus_mask;
};
with
t->cpus_ptr = &t->cpus_mask;
In -RT we then can switch the cpus_ptr to:
t->cpus_ptr = &cpumask_of(task_cpu(p));
in a migration disabled region. The rules are simple:
- Code that 'uses' ->cpus_allowed would use the pointer.
- Code that 'modifies' ->cpus_allowed would use the direct mask.

The current implementation of load tracking invariance scales the
contribution with current frequency and uarch performance (only for
utilization) of the CPU. One main result of this formula is that the
figures are capped by current capacity of CPU. Another one is that the
load_avg is not invariant because not scaled with uarch.
The util_avg of a periodic task that runs r time slots every p time slots
varies in the range :
U * (1-y^r)/(1-y^p) * y^i < Utilization < U * (1-y^r)/(1-y^p)
with U is the max util_avg value = SCHED_CAPACITY_SCALE
At a lower capacity, the range becomes:
U * C * (1-y^r')/(1-y^p) * y^i' < Utilization < U * C * (1-y^r')/(1-y^p)
with C reflecting the compute capacity ratio between current capacity and
max capacity.
so C tries to compensate changes in (1-y^r') but it can't be accurate.
Instead of scaling the contribution value of PELT algo, we should scale the
running time. The PELT signal aims to track the amount of computation of
tasks and/or rq so it seems more correct to scale the running time to
reflect the effective amount of computation done since the last update.
In order to be fully invariant, we need to apply the same amount of
running time and idle time whatever the current capacity. Because running
at lower capacity implies that the task will run longer, we have to ensure
that the same amount of idle time will be applied when system becomes idle
and no idle time has been "stolen". But reaching the maximum utilization
value (SCHED_CAPACITY_SCALE) means that the task is seen as an
always-running task whatever the capacity of the CPU (even at max compute
capacity). In this case, we can discard this "stolen" idle times which
becomes meaningless.
In order to achieve this time scaling, a new clock_pelt is created per rq.
The increase of this clock scales with current capacity when something
is running on rq and synchronizes with clock_task when rq is idle. With
this mechanism, we ensure the same running and idle time whatever the
current capacity. This also enables to simplify the pelt algorithm by
removing all references of uarch and frequency and applying the same
contribution to utilization and loads. Furthermore, the scaling is done
only once per update of clock (update_rq_clock_task()) instead of during
each update of sched_entities and cfs/rt/dl_rq of the rq like the current
implementation. This is interesting when cgroup are involved as shown in
the results below:
On a hikey (octo Arm64 platform).
Performance cpufreq governor and only shallowest c-state to remove variance
generated by those power features so we only track the impact of pelt algo.

Then, the responsiveness of PELT is improved when CPU is not running at max
capacity with this new algorithm. I have put below some examples of
duration to reach some typical load values according to the capacity of the
CPU with current implementation and with this patch. These values has been
computed based on the geometric series and the half period value:
Util (%) max capacity half capacity(mainline) half capacity(w/ patch)
972 (95%) 138ms not reachable 276ms
486 (47.5%) 30ms 138ms 60ms
256 (25%) 13ms 32ms 26ms
On my hikey (octo Arm64 platform) with schedutil governor, the time to
reach max OPP when starting from a null utilization, decreases from 223ms
with current scale invariance down to 121ms with the new algorithm.
