29e44f4535 watch_queue: Limit the number of watches a user can hold
Impose a limit on the number of watches that a user can hold so that
they can't use this mechanism to fill up all the available memory.

This is done by putting a counter in user_struct that's incremented when
a watch is allocated and decreased when it is released.  If the number
exceeds the RLIMIT_NOFILE limit, the watch is rejected with EAGAIN.

This can be tested by the following means:

 (1) Create a watch queue and attach it to fd 5 in the program given - in
     this case, bash:

	keyctl watch_session /tmp/nlog /tmp/gclog 5 bash

 (2) In the shell, set the maximum number of files to, say, 99:

	ulimit -n 99

 (3) Add 200 keyrings:

	for ((i=0; i<200; i++)); do keyctl newring a$i @s || break; done

 (4) Try to watch all of the keyrings:

	for ((i=0; i<200; i++)); do echo $i; keyctl watch_add 5 %:a$i || break; done

     This should fail when the number of watches belonging to the user hits
     99.

 (5) Remove all the keyrings and all of those watches should go away:

	for ((i=0; i<200; i++)); do keyctl unlink %:a$i; done

 (6) Kill off the watch queue by exiting the shell spawned by
     watch_session.

8043fc147a kernel: add a kernel_wait helper
Add a helper that waits for a pid and stores the status in the passed in
kernel pointer.  Use it to fix the usage of kernel_wait4 in
call_usermodehelper_exec_sync that only happens to work due to the
implicit set_fs(KERNEL_DS) for kernel threads.

af161bee93 include/linux/sched/mm.h: optimize current_gfp_context()
The current_gfp_context() converts a number of PF_MEMALLOC_* per-process
flags into the corresponding GFP_* flags for memory allocation.  In that
function, current->flags is accessed 3 times.  That may lead to duplicated
access of the same memory location.

This is not usually a problem with minimal debug config options on as the
compiler can optimize away the duplicated memory accesses.  With most of
the debug config options on, however, that may not be the case.  For
example, the x86-64 object size of the __need_fs_reclaim() in a debug
kernel that calls current_gfp_context() was 309 bytes.  With this patch
applied, the object size is reduced to 202 bytes.  This is a saving of 107
bytes and will probably be slightly faster too.

Use READ_ONCE() to access current->flags to prevent the compiler from
possibly accessing current->flags multiple times.

8510e69c8e mm/page_alloc: fix memalloc_nocma_{save/restore} APIs
Currently, memalloc_nocma_{save/restore} API that prevents CMA area
in page allocation is implemented by using current_gfp_context(). However,
there are two problems of this implementation.

First, this doesn't work for allocation fastpath. In the fastpath,
original gfp_mask is used since current_gfp_context() is introduced in
order to control reclaim and it is on slowpath. So, CMA area can be
allocated through the allocation fastpath even if
memalloc_nocma_{save/restore} APIs are used. Currently, there is just
one user for these APIs and it has a fallback method to prevent actual
problem.
Second, clearing __GFP_MOVABLE in current_gfp_context() has a side effect
to exclude the memory on the ZONE_MOVABLE for allocation target.

To fix these problems, this patch changes the implementation to exclude
CMA area in page allocation. Main point of this change is using the
alloc_flags. alloc_flags is mainly used to control allocation so it fits
for excluding CMA area in allocation.

Pull fork cleanups from Christian Brauner:
 "This is cleanup series from when we reworked a chunk of the process
  creation paths in the kernel and switched to struct
  {kernel_}clone_args.

  High-level this does two main things:

   - Remove the double export of both do_fork() and _do_fork() where
     do_fork() used the incosistent legacy clone calling convention.

     Now we only export _do_fork() which is based on struct
     kernel_clone_args.

   - Remove the copy_thread_tls()/copy_thread() split making the
     architecture specific HAVE_COYP_THREAD_TLS config option obsolete.

  This switches all remaining architectures to select
  HAVE_COPY_THREAD_TLS and thus to the copy_thread_tls() calling
  convention. The current split makes the process creation codepaths
  more convoluted than they need to be. Each architecture has their own
  copy_thread() function unless it selects HAVE_COPY_THREAD_TLS then it
  has a copy_thread_tls() function.

  The split is not needed anymore nowadays, all architectures support
  CLONE_SETTLS but quite a few of them never bothered to select
  HAVE_COPY_THREAD_TLS and instead simply continued to use copy_thread()
  and use the old calling convention. Removing this split cleans up the
  process creation codepaths and paves the way for implementing clone3()
  on such architectures since it requires the copy_thread_tls() calling
  convention.

  After having made each architectures support copy_thread_tls() this
  series simply renames that function back to copy_thread(). It also
  switches all architectures that call do_fork() directly over to
  _do_fork() and the struct kernel_clone_args calling convention. This
  is a corollary of switching the architectures that did not yet support
  it over to copy_thread_tls() since do_fork() is conditional on not
  supporting copy_thread_tls() (Mostly because it lacks a separate
  argument for tls which is trivial to fix but there's no need for this
  function to exist.).

  The do_fork() removal is in itself already useful as it allows to to
  remove the export of both do_fork() and _do_fork() we currently have
  in favor of only _do_fork(). This has already been discussed back when
  we added clone3(). The legacy clone() calling convention is - as is
  probably well-known - somewhat odd:

    #
    # ABI hall of shame
    #
    config CLONE_BACKWARDS
    config CLONE_BACKWARDS2
    config CLONE_BACKWARDS3

  that is aggravated by the fact that some architectures such as sparc
  follow the CLONE_BACKWARDSx calling convention but don't really select
  the corresponding config option since they call do_fork() directly.

  So do_fork() enforces a somewhat arbitrary calling convention in the
  first place that doesn't really help the individual architectures that
  deviate from it. They can thus simply be switched to _do_fork()
  enforcing a single calling convention. (I really hope that any new
  architectures will __not__ try to implement their own calling
  conventions...)

  Most architectures already have made a similar switch (m68k comes to
  mind).

  Overall this removes more code than it adds even with a good portion
  of added comments. It simplifies a chunk of arch specific assembly
  either by moving the code into C or by simply rewriting the assembly.

  Architectures that have been touched in non-trivial ways have all been
  actually boot and stress tested: sparc and ia64 have been tested with
  Debian 9 images. They are the two architectures which have been
  touched the most. All non-trivial changes to architectures have seen
  acks from the relevant maintainers. nios2 with a custom built
  buildroot image. h8300 I couldn't get something bootable to test on
  but the changes have been fairly automatic and I'm sure we'll hear
  people yell if I broke something there.

  All other architectures that have been touched in trivial ways have
  been compile tested for each single patch of the series via git rebase
  -x "make ..." v5.8-rc2. arm{64} and x86{_64} have been boot tested
  even though they have just been trivially touched (removal of the
  HAVE_COPY_THREAD_TLS macro from their Kconfig) because well they are
  basically "core architectures" and since it is trivial to get your
  hands on a useable image"

Pull execve updates from Eric Biederman:
 "During the development of v5.7 I ran into bugs and quality of
  implementation issues related to exec that could not be easily fixed
  because of the way exec is implemented. So I have been diggin into
  exec and cleaning up what I can.

  This cycle I have been looking at different ideas and different
  implementations to see what is possible to improve exec, and cleaning
  the way exec interfaces with in kernel users. Only cleaning up the
  interfaces of exec with rest of the kernel has managed to stabalize
  and make it through review in time for v5.9-rc1 resulting in 2 sets of
  changes this cycle.

   - Implement kernel_execve

   - Make the user mode driver code a better citizen

  With kernel_execve the code size got a little larger as the copying of
  parameters from userspace and copying of parameters from userspace is
  now separate. The good news is kernel threads no longer need to play
  games with set_fs to use exec. Which when combined with the rest of
  Christophs set_fs changes should security bugs with set_fs much more
  difficult"

Qais Yousef
13685c4a08 sched/uclamp: Add a new sysctl to control RT default boost value
RT tasks by default run at the highest capacity/performance level. When
uclamp is selected this default behavior is retained by enforcing the
requested uclamp.min (p->uclamp_req[UCLAMP_MIN]) of the RT tasks to be
uclamp_none(UCLAMP_MAX), which is SCHED_CAPACITY_SCALE; the maximum
value.

This is also referred to as 'the default boost value of RT tasks'.

See commit 1a00d99997 ("sched/uclamp: Set default clamps for RT tasks").

On battery powered devices, it is desired to control this default
(currently hardcoded) behavior at runtime to reduce energy consumed by
RT tasks.

For example, a mobile device manufacturer where big.LITTLE architecture
is dominant, the performance of the little cores varies across SoCs, and
on high end ones the big cores could be too power hungry.

Given the diversity of SoCs, the new knob allows manufactures to tune
the best performance/power for RT tasks for the particular hardware they
run on.

They could opt to further tune the value when the user selects
a different power saving mode or when the device is actively charging.

The runtime aspect of it further helps in creating a single kernel image
that can be run on multiple devices that require different tuning.

Keep in mind that a lot of RT tasks in the system are created by the
kernel. On Android for instance I can see over 50 RT tasks, only
a handful of which created by the Android framework.

To control the default behavior globally by system admins and device
integrator, introduce the new sysctl_sched_uclamp_util_min_rt_default
to change the default boost value of the RT tasks.

I anticipate this to be mostly in the form of modifying the init script
of a particular device.

To avoid polluting the fast path with unnecessary code, the approach
taken is to synchronously do the update by traversing all the existing
tasks in the system. This could race with a concurrent fork(), which is
dealt with by introducing sched_post_fork() function which will ensure
the racy fork will get the right update applied.

Tested on Juno-r2 in combination with the RT capacity awareness [1].
By default an RT task will go to the highest capacity CPU and run at the
maximum frequency, which is particularly energy inefficient on high end
mobile devices because the biggest core[s] are 'huge' and power hungry.

With this patch the RT task can be controlled to run anywhere by
default, and doesn't cause the frequency to be maximum all the time.
Yet any task that really needs to be boosted can easily escape this
default behavior by modifying its requested uclamp.min value
(p->uclamp_req[UCLAMP_MIN]) via sched_setattr() syscall.

25980c7a79 arch_topology, sched/core: Cleanup thermal pressure definition
The following commit:

  14533a16c4 ("thermal/cpu-cooling, sched/core: Move the arch_set_thermal_pressure() API to generic scheduler code")

moved the definition of arch_set_thermal_pressure() to sched/core.c, but
kept its declaration in linux/arch_topology.h. When building e.g. an x86
kernel with CONFIG_SCHED_THERMAL_PRESSURE=y, cpufreq_cooling.c ends up
getting the declaration of arch_set_thermal_pressure() from
include/linux/arch_topology.h, which is somewhat awkward.

On top of this, sched/core.c unconditionally defines
o The thermal_pressure percpu variable
o arch_set_thermal_pressure()

while arch_scale_thermal_pressure() does nothing unless redefined by the
architecture.

arch_*() functions are meant to be defined by architectures, so revert the
aforementioned commit and re-implement it in a way that keeps
arch_set_thermal_pressure() architecture-definable, and doesn't define the
thermal pressure percpu variable for kernels that don't need
it (CONFIG_SCHED_THERMAL_PRESSURE=n).

arch: rename copy_thread_tls() back to copy_thread()
Now that HAVE_COPY_THREAD_TLS has been removed, rename copy_thread_tls()
back simply copy_thread(). It's a simpler name, and doesn't imply that only
tls is copied here. This finishes an outstanding chunk of internal process
creation work since we've added clone3().

arch: remove HAVE_COPY_THREAD_TLS
All architectures support copy_thread_tls() now, so remove the legacy
copy_thread() function and the HAVE_COPY_THREAD_TLS config option. Everyone
uses the same process creation calling convention based on
copy_thread_tls() and struct kernel_clone_args. This will make it easier to
maintain the core process creation code under kernel/, simplifies the
callpaths and makes the identical for all architectures.

fork: remove do_fork()
Now that all architectures have been switched to use _do_fork() and the new
struct kernel_clone_args calling convention we can remove the legacy
do_fork() helper completely. The calling convention used to be brittle and
do_fork() didn't buy us anything. The only calling convention accepted
should be based on struct kernel_clone_args going forward. It's cleaner and
uniform.

e91b481623 task_work: teach task_work_add() to do signal_wake_up()
So that the target task will exit the wait_event_interruptible-like
loop and call task_work_run() asap.

The patch turns "bool notify" into 0,TWA_RESUME,TWA_SIGNAL enum, the
new TWA_SIGNAL flag implies signal_wake_up().  However, it needs to
avoid the race with recalc_sigpending(), so the patch also adds the
new JOBCTL_TASK_WORK bit included in JOBCTL_PENDING_MASK.

TODO: once this patch is merged we need to change all current users
of task_work_add(notify = true) to use TWA_RESUME.

fork: fold legacy_clone_args_valid() into _do_fork()
This separate helper only existed to guarantee the mutual exclusivity of
CLONE_PIDFD and CLONE_PARENT_SETTID for legacy clone since CLONE_PIDFD
abuses the parent_tid field to return the pidfd. But we can actually handle
this uniformely thus removing the helper. For legacy clone we can detect
that CLONE_PIDFD is specified in conjunction with CLONE_PARENT_SETTID
because they will share the same memory which is invalid and for clone3()
setting the separate pidfd and parent_tid fields to the same memory is
bogus as well. So fold that helper directly into _do_fork() by detecting
this case.

9cc5b86568 isolcpus: Affine unbound kernel threads to housekeeping cpus
This is a kernel enhancement that configures the cpu affinity of kernel
threads via kernel boot option nohz_full=.

When this option is specified, the cpumask is immediately applied upon
kthread launch. This does not affect kernel threads that specify cpu
and node.

This allows CPU isolation (that is not allowing certain threads
to execute on certain CPUs) without using the isolcpus=domain parameter,
making it possible to enable load balancing on such CPUs
during runtime (see kernel-parameters.txt).

Note-1: this is based off on Wind River's patch at
https://github.com/starlingx-staging/stx-integ/blob/master/kernel/kernel-std/centos/patches/affine-compute-kernel-threads.patch

Difference being that this patch is limited to modifying kernel thread
cpumask. Behaviour of other threads can be controlled via cgroups or
sched_setaffinity.

Note-2: Wind River's patch was based off Christoph Lameter's patch at
https://lwn.net/Articles/565932/ with the only difference being
the kernel parameter changed from kthread to kthread_cpus.

0ec9dc9bcb kernel/hung_task.c: introduce sysctl to print all traces when a hung task is detected
Commit 401c636a0e ("kernel/hung_task.c: show all hung tasks before
panic") introduced a change in that we started to show all CPUs
backtraces when a hung task is detected _and_ the sysctl/kernel
parameter "hung_task_panic" is set.  The idea is good, because usually
when observing deadlocks (that may lead to hung tasks), the culprit is
another task holding a lock and not necessarily the task detected as
hung.

The problem with this approach is that dumping backtraces is a slightly
expensive task, specially printing that on console (and specially in
many CPU machines, as servers commonly found nowadays).  So, users that
plan to collect a kdump to investigate the hung tasks and narrow down
the deadlock definitely don't need the CPUs backtrace on dmesg/console,
which will delay the panic and pollute the log (crash tool would easily
grab all CPUs traces with 'bt -a' command).

Also, there's the reciprocal scenario: some users may be interested in
seeing the CPUs backtraces but not have the system panic when a hung
task is detected.  The current approach hence is almost as embedding a
policy in the kernel, by forcing the CPUs backtraces' dump (only) on
hung_task_panic.

This patch decouples the panic event on hung task from the CPUs
backtraces dump, by creating (and documenting) a new sysctl called
"hung_task_all_cpu_backtrace", analog to the approach taken on soft/hard
lockups, that have both a panic and an "all_cpu_backtrace" sysctl to
allow individual control.  The new mechanism for dumping the CPUs
backtraces on hung task detection respects "hung_task_warnings" by not
dumping the traces in case there's no warnings left.

  The rest of the changes are small cleanups and fixes that came out of

  had to handle. Then updating the code to stop handling that special

bf2c59fce4 sched/core: Fix illegal RCU from offline CPUs
In the CPU-offline process, it calls mmdrop() after idle entry and the
subsequent call to cpuhp_report_idle_dead(). Once execution passes the
call to rcu_report_dead(), RCU is ignoring the CPU, which results in
lockdep complaining when mmdrop() uses RCU from either memcg or
debugobjects below.

Fix it by cleaning up the active_mm state from BP instead. Every arch
which has CONFIG_HOTPLUG_CPU should have already called idle_task_exit()
from AP. The only exception is parisc because it switches them to
&init_mm unconditionally (see smp_boot_one_cpu() and smp_cpu_init()),
but the patch will still work there because it calls mmgrab(&init_mm) in
smp_cpu_init() and then should call mmdrop(&init_mm) in finish_cpu().

  WARNING: suspicious RCU usage

is rather hairy in terms of the BPF interaction, copy the input to and

safer.

As most handler just pass through the data to one of the common handlers
a lot of the changes are mechnical.

fe946db6ca sched: topology.h: Replace zero-length array with flexible-array member
The current codebase makes use of the zero-length array language
extension to the C90 standard, but the preferred mechanism to declare
variable-length types such as these ones is a flexible array member[1][2],
introduced in C99:

struct foo {
        int stuff;
        struct boo array[];
};

By making use of the mechanism above, we will get a compiler warning
in case the flexible array does not occur last in the structure, which
will help us prevent some kind of undefined behavior bugs from being
inadvertently introduced[3] to the codebase from now on.

Also, notice that, dynamic memory allocations won't be affected by
this change:

"Flexible array members have incomplete type, and so the sizeof operator
may not be applied. As a quirk of the original implementation of
zero-length arrays, sizeof evaluates to zero."[1]

This issue was found with the help of Coccinelle.

  The work on exec starts solving a long standing issue with exec that

8b9a65fd28 mm: return faster for non-fatal signals in user mode faults
The idea comes from the upstream discussion between Linus and Andrea:

  https://lore.kernel.org/lkml/20171102193644.GB22686@redhat.com/

A summary to the issue: there was a special path in handle_userfault() in
the past that we'll return a VM_FAULT_NOPAGE when we detected non-fatal
signals when waiting for userfault handling.  We did that by reacquiring
the mmap_sem before returning.  However that brings a risk in that the
vmas might have changed when we retake the mmap_sem and even we could be
holding an invalid vma structure.

This patch is a preparation of removing that special path by allowing the
page fault to return even faster if we were interrupted by a non-fatal
signal during a user-mode page fault handling routine.

4ef873226c mm: introduce fault_signal_pending()
For most architectures, we've got a quick path to detect fatal signal
after a handle_mm_fault().  Introduce a helper for that quick path.

It cleans the current codes a bit so we don't need to duplicate the same
check across archs.  More importantly, this will be an unified place that
we handle the signal immediately right after an interrupted page fault, so
it'll be much easier for us if we want to change the behavior of handling
signals later on for all the archs.

Note that currently only part of the archs are using this new helper,
because some archs have their own way to handle signals.  In the follow up
patches, we'll try to apply this helper to all the rest of archs.

Another note is that the "regs" parameter in the new helper is not used
yet.  It'll be used very soon.  Now we kept it in this patch only to avoid
touching all the archs again in the follow up patches.

eea9673250 exec: Add exec_update_mutex to replace cred_guard_mutex
The cred_guard_mutex is problematic as it is held over possibly
indefinite waits for userspace.  The possible indefinite waits for
userspace that I have identified are: The cred_guard_mutex is held in
PTRACE_EVENT_EXIT waiting for the tracer.  The cred_guard_mutex is
held over "put_user(0, tsk->clear_child_tid)" in exit_mm().  The
cred_guard_mutex is held over "get_user(futex_offset, ...")  in
exit_robust_list.  The cred_guard_mutex held over copy_strings.

The functions get_user and put_user can trigger a page fault which can
potentially wait indefinitely in the case of userfaultfd or if
userspace implements part of the page fault path.

In any of those cases the userspace process that the kernel is waiting
for might make a different system call that winds up taking the
cred_guard_mutex and result in deadlock.

Holding a mutex over any of those possibly indefinite waits for
userspace does not appear necessary.  Add exec_update_mutex that will
just cover updating the process during exec where the permissions and
the objects pointed to by the task struct may be out of sync.

The plan is to switch the users of cred_guard_mutex to
exec_update_mutex one by one.  This lets us move forward while still
being careful and not introducing any regressions.

ef2c41cf38 clone3: allow spawning processes into cgroups
This adds support for creating a process in a different cgroup than its
parent. Callers can limit and account processes and threads right from
the moment they are spawned:
- A service manager can directly spawn new services into dedicated
  cgroups.
- A process can be directly created in a frozen cgroup and will be
  frozen as well.
- The initial accounting jitter experienced by process supervisors and
  daemons is eliminated with this.
- Threaded applications or even thread implementations can choose to
  create a specific cgroup layout where each thread is spawned
  directly into a dedicated cgroup.

This feature is limited to the unified hierarchy. Callers need to pass
a directory file descriptor for the target cgroup. The caller can
choose to pass an O_PATH file descriptor. All usual migration
restrictions apply, i.e. there can be no processes in inner nodes. In
general, creating a process directly in a target cgroup adheres to all
migration restrictions.

One of the biggest advantages of this feature is that CLONE_INTO_GROUP does
not need to grab the write side of the cgroup cgroup_threadgroup_rwsem.
This global lock makes moving tasks/threads around super expensive. With
clone3() this lock is avoided.

The way loadavg is tracked during nohz only pays attention to the load

entered while non-idle, and then the cpu goes idle and stays that way for
a long time.

Use the remote tick to ensure that full nohz cpus report their deltas

11ea68f553 genirq, sched/isolation: Isolate from handling managed interrupts
The affinity of managed interrupts is completely handled in the kernel and
cannot be changed via the /proc/irq/* interfaces from user space. As the
kernel tries to spread out interrupts evenly accross CPUs on x86 to prevent
vector exhaustion, it can happen that a managed interrupt whose affinity
mask contains both isolated and housekeeping CPUs is routed to an isolated
CPU. As a consequence IO submitted on a housekeeping CPU causes interrupts
on the isolated CPU.

Add a new sub-parameter 'managed_irq' for 'isolcpus' and the corresponding
logic in the interrupt affinity selection code.

The subparameter indicates to the interrupt affinity selection logic that
it should try to avoid the above scenario.

This isolation is best effort and only effective if the automatically
assigned interrupt mask of a device queue contains isolated and
housekeeping CPUs. If housekeeping CPUs are online then such interrupts are
directed to the housekeeping CPU so that IO submitted on the housekeeping
CPU cannot disturb the isolated CPU.

If a queue's affinity mask contains only isolated CPUs then this parameter
has no effect on the interrupt routing decision, though interrupts are only
happening when tasks running on those isolated CPUs submit IO. IO submitted
on housekeeping CPUs has no influence on those queues.

If the affinity mask contains both housekeeping and isolated CPUs, but none
of the contained housekeeping CPUs is online, then the interrupt is also
routed to an isolated CPU. Interrupts are only delivered when one of the
isolated CPUs in the affinity mask submits IO. If one of the contained
housekeeping CPUs comes online, the CPU hotplug logic migrates the
interrupt automatically back to the upcoming housekeeping CPU. Depending on
the type of interrupt controller, this can require that at least one
interrupt is delivered to the isolated CPU in order to complete the
migration.

a4f9a0e51b sched/fair: Remove redundant call to cpufreq_update_util()
With commit

  bef69dd878 ("sched/cpufreq: Move the cfs_rq_util_change() call to cpufreq_update_util()")

update_load_avg() has become the central point for calling cpufreq
(not including the update of blocked load). This change helps to
simplify further the number of calls to cpufreq_update_util() and to
remove last redundant ones. With update_load_avg(), we are now sure
that cpufreq_update_util() will be called after every task attachment
to a cfs_rq and especially after propagating this event down to the
util_avg of the root cfs_rq, which is the level that is used by
cpufreq governors like schedutil to set the frequency of a CPU.

The SCHED_CPUFREQ_MIGRATION flag forces an early call to cpufreq when
the migration happens in a cgroup whereas util_avg of root cfs_rq is
not yet updated and this call is duplicated with the one that happens
immediately after when the migration event reaches the root cfs_rq.
The dedicated flag SCHED_CPUFREQ_MIGRATION is now useless and can be
removed. The interface of attach_entity_load_avg() can also be
simplified accordingly.

85572c2c4a cpufreq: Avoid leaving stale IRQ work items during CPU offline
The scheduler code calling cpufreq_update_util() may run during CPU
offline on the target CPU after the IRQ work lists have been flushed
for it, so the target CPU should be prevented from running code that
may queue up an IRQ work item on it at that point.

Unfortunately, that may not be the case if dvfs_possible_from_any_cpu
is set for at least one cpufreq policy in the system, because that
allows the CPU going offline to run the utilization update callback
of the cpufreq governor on behalf of another (online) CPU in some
cases.

If that happens, the cpufreq governor callback may queue up an IRQ
work on the CPU running it, which is going offline, and the IRQ work
may not be flushed after that point.  Moreover, that IRQ work cannot
be flushed until the "offlining" CPU goes back online, so if any
other CPU calls irq_work_sync() to wait for the completion of that
IRQ work, it will have to wait until the "offlining" CPU is back
online and that may not happen forever.  In particular, a system-wide
deadlock may occur during CPU online as a result of that.

The failing scenario is as follows.  CPU0 is the boot CPU, so it
creates a cpufreq policy and becomes the "leader" of it
(policy->cpu).  It cannot go offline, because it is the boot CPU.
Next, other CPUs join the cpufreq policy as they go online and they
leave it when they go offline.  The last CPU to go offline, say CPU3,
may queue up an IRQ work while running the governor callback on
behalf of CPU0 after leaving the cpufreq policy because of the
dvfs_possible_from_any_cpu effect described above.  Then, CPU0 is
the only online CPU in the system and the stale IRQ work is still
queued on CPU3.  When, say, CPU1 goes back online, it will run
irq_work_sync() to wait for that IRQ work to complete and so it
will wait for CPU3 to go back online (which may never happen even
in principle), but (worse yet) CPU0 is waiting for CPU1 at that
point too and a system-wide deadlock occurs.

To address this problem notice that CPUs which cannot run cpufreq
utilization update code for themselves (for example, because they
have left the cpufreq policies that they belonged to), should also
be prevented from running that code on behalf of the other CPUs that
belong to a cpufreq policy with dvfs_possible_from_any_cpu set and so
in that case the cpufreq_update_util_data pointer of the CPU running
the code must not be NULL as well as for the CPU which is the target
of the cpufreq utilization update in progress.

Accordingly, change cpufreq_this_cpu_can_update() into a regular
function in kernel/sched/cpufreq.c (instead of a static inline in a
header file) and make it check the cpufreq_update_util_data pointer
of the local CPU if dvfs_possible_from_any_cpu is set for the target
cpufreq policy.

Also update the schedutil governor to do the
cpufreq_this_cpu_can_update() check in the non-fast-switch
case too to avoid the stale IRQ work issues.

Linus Torvalds
168829ad09 Merge branch 'locking-core-for-linus' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/tip/tip
Pull locking updates from Ingo Molnar:
 "The main changes in this cycle were:

   - A comprehensive rewrite of the robust/PI futex code's exit handling
     to fix various exit races. (Thomas Gleixner et al)

   - Rework the generic REFCOUNT_FULL implementation using
     atomic_fetch_* operations so that the performance impact of the
     cmpxchg() loops is mitigated for common refcount operations.

     With these performance improvements the generic implementation of
     refcount_t should be good enough for everybody - and this got
     confirmed by performance testing, so remove ARCH_HAS_REFCOUNT and
     REFCOUNT_FULL entirely, leaving the generic implementation enabled
     unconditionally. (Will Deacon)

   - Other misc changes, fixes, cleanups"
