Remote memcg charging API uses current->active_memcg to store the
currently active memory cgroup, which overwrites the memory cgroup of the
current process. It works well for normal contexts, but doesn't work for
interrupt contexts: indeed, if an interrupt occurs during the execution of
a section with an active memcg set, all allocations inside the interrupt
will be charged to the active memcg set (given that we'll enable
accounting for allocations from an interrupt context). But because the
interrupt might have no relation to the active memcg set outside, it's
obviously wrong from the accounting prospective.
To resolve this problem, let's add a global percpu int_active_memcg
variable, which will be used to store an active memory cgroup which will
be used from interrupt contexts. set_active_memcg() will transparently
use current->active_memcg or int_active_memcg depending on the context.
To make the read part simple and transparent for the caller, let's
introduce two new functions:
- struct mem_cgroup *active_memcg(void),
- struct mem_cgroup *get_active_memcg(void).
They are returning the active memcg if it's set, hiding all implementation
details: where to get it depending on the current context.

Currently the remote memcg charging API consists of two functions:
memalloc_use_memcg() and memalloc_unuse_memcg(), which set and clear the
memcg value, which overwrites the memcg of the current task.
memalloc_use_memcg(target_memcg);
<...>
memalloc_unuse_memcg();
It works perfectly for allocations performed from a normal context,
however an attempt to call it from an interrupt context or just nest two
remote charging blocks will lead to an incorrect accounting. On exit from
the inner block the active memcg will be cleared instead of being
restored.
memalloc_use_memcg(target_memcg);
memalloc_use_memcg(target_memcg_2);
<...>
memalloc_unuse_memcg();
Error: allocation here are charged to the memcg of the current
process instead of target_memcg.
memalloc_unuse_memcg();
This patch extends the remote charging API by switching to a single
function: struct mem_cgroup *set_active_memcg(struct mem_cgroup *memcg),
which sets the new value and returns the old one. So a remote charging
block will look like:
old_memcg = set_active_memcg(target_memcg);
<...>
set_active_memcg(old_memcg);

Pull kernel_clone() updates from Christian Brauner:
"During the v5.9 merge window we reworked the process creation
codepaths across multiple architectures. After this work we were only
left with the _do_fork() helper based on the struct kernel_clone_args
calling convention. As was pointed out _do_fork() isn't valid
kernelese especially for a helper that isn't just static.
This series removes the _do_fork() helper and introduces the new
kernel_clone() helper. The process creation cleanup didn't change the
name to something more reasonable mainly because _do_fork() was used
in quite a few places. So sending this as a separate series seemed the
better strategy.
I originally intended to send this early in the v5.9 development cycle
after the merge window had closed but given that this was touching
quite a few places I decided to defer this until the v5.10 merge
window"

Currently __set_oom_adj loops through all processes in the system to keep
oom_score_adj and oom_score_adj_min in sync between processes sharing
their mm. This is done for any task with more that one mm_users, which
includes processes with multiple threads (sharing mm and signals).
However for such processes the loop is unnecessary because their signal
structure is shared as well.
Android updates oom_score_adj whenever a tasks changes its role
(background/foreground/...) or binds to/unbinds from a service, making it
more/less important. Such operation can happen frequently. We noticed
that updates to oom_score_adj became more expensive and after further
investigation found out that the patch mentioned in "Fixes" introduced a
regression. Using Pixel 4 with a typical Android workload, write time to
oom_score_adj increased from ~3.57us to ~362us. Moreover this regression
linearly depends on the number of multi-threaded processes running on the
system.
Mark the mm with a new MMF_MULTIPROCESS flag bit when task is created with
(CLONE_VM && !CLONE_THREAD && !CLONE_VFORK). Change __set_oom_adj to use
MMF_MULTIPROCESS instead of mm_users to decide whether oom_score_adj
update should be synchronized between multiple processes. To prevent
races between clone() and __set_oom_adj(), when oom_score_adj of the
process being cloned might be modified from userspace, we use
oom_adj_mutex. Its scope is changed to global.
The combination of (CLONE_VM && !CLONE_THREAD) is rarely used except for
the case of vfork(). To prevent performance regressions of vfork(), we
skip taking oom_adj_mutex and setting MMF_MULTIPROCESS when CLONE_VFORK is
specified. Clearing the MMF_MULTIPROCESS flag (when the last process
sharing the mm exits) is left out of this patch to keep it simple and
because it is believed that this threading model is rare. Should there
ever be a need for optimizing that case as well, it can be done by hooking
into the exit path, likely following the mm_update_next_owner pattern.
With the combination of (CLONE_VM && !CLONE_THREAD && !CLONE_VFORK) being
quite rare, the regression is gone after the change is applied.

This patchset is based on Google-internal RSEQ work done by Paul
Turner and Andrew Hunter.
When working with per-CPU RSEQ-based memory allocations, it is
sometimes important to make sure that a global memory location is no
longer accessed from RSEQ critical sections. For example, there can be
two per-CPU lists, one is "active" and accessed per-CPU, while another
one is inactive and worked on asynchronously "off CPU" (e.g. garbage
collection is performed). Then at some point the two lists are
swapped, and a fast RCU-like mechanism is required to make sure that
the previously active list is no longer accessed.
This patch introduces such a mechanism: in short, membarrier() syscall
issues an IPI to a CPU, restarting a potentially active RSEQ critical
section on the CPU.

The old _do_fork() helper doesn't follow naming conventions of in-kernel
helpers for syscalls. The process creation cleanup in [1] didn't change the
name to something more reasonable mainly because _do_fork() was used in quite a
few places. So sending this as a separate series seemed the better strategy.
This commit does two things:
1. renames _do_fork() to kernel_clone() but keeps _do_fork() as a simple static
inline wrapper around kernel_clone().
2. Changes the return type from long to pid_t. This aligns kernel_thread() and
kernel_clone(). Also, the return value from kernel_clone that is surfaced in
fork(), vfork(), clone(), and clone3() is taken from pid_vrn() which returns
a pid_t too.
Follow-up patches will switch each caller of _do_fork() and each place where it
is referenced over to kernel_clone(). After all these changes are done, we can
remove _do_fork() completely and will only be left with kernel_clone().

We currently set this flag *only* on domains whose topology level exactly
match the level where we detect asymmetry (as returned by
asym_cpu_capacity_level()). This is rather problematic.
Say there are two clusters in the system, one with a lone big CPU and the
other with a mix of big and LITTLE CPUs (as is allowed by DynamIQ):
DIE [ ]
MC [ ][ ]
0 1 2 3 4
L L B B B
asym_cpu_capacity_level() will figure out that the MC level is the one
where all CPUs can see a CPU of max capacity, and we will thus set
SD_ASYM_CPUCAPACITY at MC level for all CPUs.
That lone big CPU will degenerate its MC domain, since it would be alone in
there, and will end up with just a DIE domain. Since the flag was only set
at MC, this CPU ends up not seeing any SD with the flag set, which is
broken.
Rather than clearing dflags at every topology level, clear it before
entering the topology level loop. This will properly propagate upwards
flags that are set starting from a certain level.

There are some expectations regarding how sched domain flags should be laid
out, but none of them are checked or asserted in
sched_domain_debug_one(). After staring at said flags for a while, I've
come to realize there's two repeating patterns:
- Shared with children: those flags are set from the base CPU domain
upwards. Any domain that has it set will have it set in its children. It
hints at "some property holds true / some behaviour is enabled until this
level".
- Shared with parents: those flags are set from the topmost domain
downwards. Any domain that has it set will have it set in its parents. It
hints at "some property isn't visible / some behaviour is disabled until
this level".
There are two outliers that (currently) do not map to either of these:
o SD_PREFER_SIBLING, which is cleared below levels with
SD_ASYM_CPUCAPACITY. The change was introduced by commit:
9c63e84db2 ("sched/core: Disable SD_PREFER_SIBLING on asymmetric CPU capacity domains")
as it could break misfit migration on some systems. In light of this, we
might want to change it back to make it fit one of the two categories and
fix the issue another way.
o SD_ASYM_CPUCAPACITY, which gets set on a single level and isn't
propagated up nor down. From a topology description point of view, it
really wants to be SDF_SHARED_PARENT; this will be rectified in a later
patch.
Tweak the sched_domain flag declaration to assign each flag an expected
layout, and include the rationale for each flag "meta type" assignment as a
comment. Consolidate the flag metadata into an array; the index of a flag's
metadata can easily be found with log2(flag), IOW __ffs(flag).

To associate the SD flags with some metadata, we need some more structure
in the way they are declared.
Rather than shove that in a free-standing macro list, move the declaration
in a separate file that can be re-imported with different SD_FLAG
definitions. This is inspired by what is done with the syscall
table (see uapi/asm/unistd.h and sys_call_table).
The value assigned to a given SD flag now depends on the order it appears
in sd_flags.h. No change in functionality.

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.

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.

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.

Merge tag 'fork-v5.9' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/brauner/linux
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"

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

- 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

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.

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).

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.

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.

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.

Pull proc updates from Eric Biederman:
"This has four sets of changes:
- modernize proc to support multiple private instances
- ensure we see the exit of each process tid exactly
- remove has_group_leader_pid
- use pids not tasks in posix-cpu-timers lookup
Alexey updated proc so each mount of proc uses a new superblock. This
allows people to actually use mount options with proc with no fear of
messing up another mount of proc. Given the kernel's internal mounts
of proc for things like uml this was a real problem, and resulted in
Android's hidepid mount options being ignored and introducing security
issues.
The rest of the changes are small cleanups and fixes that came out of
my work to allow this change to proc. In essence it is swapping the
pids in de_thread during exec which removes a special case the code
had to handle. Then updating the code to stop handling that special
case"
* 'proc-linus' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/ebiederm/user-namespace:
proc: proc_pid_ns takes super_block as an argument
remove the no longer needed pid_alive() check in __task_pid_nr_ns()
posix-cpu-timers: Replace __get_task_for_clock with pid_for_clock
posix-cpu-timers: Replace cpu_timer_pid_type with clock_pid_type
posix-cpu-timers: Extend rcu_read_lock removing task_struct references
signal: Remove has_group_leader_pid
exec: Remove BUG_ON(has_group_leader_pid)
posix-cpu-timer: Unify the now redundant code in lookup_task
posix-cpu-timer: Tidy up group_leader logic in lookup_task
proc: Ensure we see the exit of each process tid exactly once
rculist: Add hlists_swap_heads_rcu
proc: Use PIDTYPE_TGID in next_tgid
Use proc_pid_ns() to get pid_namespace from the proc superblock
proc: use named enums for better readability
proc: use human-readable values for hidepid
docs: proc: add documentation for "hidepid=4" and "subset=pid" options and new mount behavior
proc: add option to mount only a pids subset
proc: instantiate only pids that we can ptrace on 'hidepid=4' mount option
proc: allow to mount many instances of proc in one pid namespace
proc: rename struct proc_fs_info to proc_fs_opts
