Pull locking and atomic updates from Ingo Molnar:
"Main changes in this cycle are:
- Extend atomic primitives with coherent logic op primitives
(atomic_{or,and,xor}()) and deprecate the old partial APIs
(atomic_{set,clear}_mask())
The old ops were incoherent with incompatible signatures across
architectures and with incomplete support. Now every architecture
supports the primitives consistently (by Peter Zijlstra)
- Generic support for 'relaxed atomics':
- _acquire/release/relaxed() flavours of xchg(), cmpxchg() and {add,sub}_return()
- atomic_read_acquire()
- atomic_set_release()
This came out of porting qwrlock code to arm64 (by Will Deacon)
- Clean up the fragile static_key APIs that were causing repeat bugs,
by introducing a new one:
DEFINE_STATIC_KEY_TRUE(name);
DEFINE_STATIC_KEY_FALSE(name);
which define a key of different types with an initial true/false
value.
Then allow:
static_branch_likely()
static_branch_unlikely()
to take a key of either type and emit the right instruction for the
case. To be able to know the 'type' of the static key we encode it
in the jump entry (by Peter Zijlstra)
- Static key self-tests (by Jason Baron)
- qrwlock optimizations (by Waiman Long)
- small futex enhancements (by Davidlohr Bueso)

There is a race condition in SMP bootup code, which may result

WARNING: CPU: 0 PID: 1 at kernel/workqueue.c:4418

or

It can be triggered with a bit of luck in Linux guests running

During the various CPU_ONLINE callbacks CPUn is online but not
active. Several things can go wrong at that point, depending on
the scheduling of tasks on CPU0.
Variant 1:
cpu_notify(CPU_ONLINE)
workqueue_cpu_up_callback()
rebind_workers()
set_cpus_allowed_ptr()
This call fails because it requires an active CPU; rebind_workers()
ends with a warning:
WARNING: CPU: 0 PID: 1 at kernel/workqueue.c:4418
workqueue_cpu_up_callback()
Variant 2:
cpu_notify(CPU_ONLINE)

..
__kthread_unpark()
__kthread_bind()
wake_up_state()
..
select_task_rq()
select_fallback_rq()
The ->wake_cpu of the unparked thread is not allowed, making a call
to select_fallback_rq() necessary. Then, select_fallback_rq() cannot
find an allowed, active CPU and promptly resets the allowed CPUs, so
that the task in question ends up on CPU0.
When those unparked tasks are eventually executed, they run
immediately into a BUG:
kernel BUG at kernel/smpboot.c:135!
Just changing the order in which the online/active bits are set
(and adding some memory barriers), would solve the two issues
above. However, it would change the order of operations back to
the one before commit 6acbfb9697 ("sched: Fix hotplug vs.
set_cpus_allowed_ptr()"), thus, reintroducing that particular
problem.
Going further back into history, we have at least the following
commits touching this topic:
- commit 2baab4e904 ("sched: Fix select_fallback_rq() vs cpu_active/cpu_online")
- commit 5fbd036b55 ("sched: Cleanup cpu_active madness")
Together, these give us the following non-working solutions:
- secondary CPU sets active before online, because active is assumed to
be a subset of online;
- secondary CPU sets online before active, because the primary CPU
assumes that an online CPU is also active;
- secondary CPU sets online and waits for primary CPU to set active,
because it might deadlock.
Commit 875ebe940d ("powerpc/smp: Wait until secondaries are
active & online") introduces an arch-specific solution to this
arch-independent problem.
Now, go for a more general solution without explicit waiting and
simply set active twice: once on the secondary CPU after online
was set and once on the primary CPU after online was seen.

Because sched_setscheduler() checks p->flags & PF_NO_SETAFFINITY
without locks, a caller might observe an old value and race with the
set_cpus_allowed_ptr() call from __kthread_bind() and effectively undo
it:
__kthread_bind()
do_set_cpus_allowed()
<SYSCALL>
sched_setaffinity()
if (p->flags & PF_NO_SETAFFINITIY)
set_cpus_allowed_ptr()
p->flags |= PF_NO_SETAFFINITY
Fix the bug by putting everything under the regular scheduler locks.
This also closes a hole in the serialization of task_struct::{nr_,}cpus_allowed.

Systems which have all nodes at a distance of at most 1 hop should be
identified as 'NUMA_DIRECT'.
However, the scheduler incorrectly identifies it as 'NUMA_BACKPLANE'.
This is because 'n' is assigned to sched_max_numa_distance but the
code (mis)interprets it to mean 'number of hops'.
Rik had actually used sched_domains_numa_levels for detecting a
'NUMA_DIRECT' topology:
http://marc.info/?l=linux-kernel&m=141279712429834&w=2
But that was changed when he removed the hops table in the
subsequent version:

The idea of runnable load average (let runnable time contribute to weight)
was proposed by Paul Turner and Ben Segall, and it is still followed by
this rewrite. This rewrite aims to solve the following issues:
1. cfs_rq's load average (namely runnable_load_avg and blocked_load_avg) is
updated at the granularity of an entity at a time, which results in the
cfs_rq's load average is stale or partially updated: at any time, only
one entity is up to date, all other entities are effectively lagging
behind. This is undesirable.
To illustrate, if we have n runnable entities in the cfs_rq, as time
elapses, they certainly become outdated:
t0: cfs_rq { e1_old, e2_old, ..., en_old }
and when we update:
t1: update e1, then we have cfs_rq { e1_new, e2_old, ..., en_old }
t2: update e2, then we have cfs_rq { e1_old, e2_new, ..., en_old }
...
We solve this by combining all runnable entities' load averages together
in cfs_rq's avg, and update the cfs_rq's avg as a whole. This is based
on the fact that if we regard the update as a function, then:
w * update(e) = update(w * e) and
update(e1) + update(e2) = update(e1 + e2), then
w1 * update(e1) + w2 * update(e2) = update(w1 * e1 + w2 * e2)
therefore, by this rewrite, we have an entirely updated cfs_rq at the
time we update it:
t1: update cfs_rq { e1_new, e2_new, ..., en_new }
t2: update cfs_rq { e1_new, e2_new, ..., en_new }
...
2. cfs_rq's load average is different between top rq->cfs_rq and other
task_group's per CPU cfs_rqs in whether or not blocked_load_average
contributes to the load.
The basic idea behind runnable load average (the same for utilization)
is that the blocked state is taken into account as opposed to only
accounting for the currently runnable state. Therefore, the average
should include both the runnable/running and blocked load averages.
This rewrite does that.
In addition, we also combine runnable/running and blocked averages
of all entities into the cfs_rq's average, and update it together at
once. This is based on the fact that:
update(runnable) + update(blocked) = update(runnable + blocked)
This significantly reduces the code as we don't need to separately
maintain/update runnable/running load and blocked load.
3. How task_group entities' share is calculated is complex and imprecise.
We reduce the complexity in this rewrite to allow a very simple rule:
the task_group's load_avg is aggregated from its per CPU cfs_rqs's
load_avgs. Then group entity's weight is simply proportional to its
own cfs_rq's load_avg / task_group's load_avg. To illustrate,
if a task_group has { cfs_rq1, cfs_rq2, ..., cfs_rqn }, then,
task_group_avg = cfs_rq1_avg + cfs_rq2_avg + ... + cfs_rqn_avg, then
cfs_rqx's entity's share = cfs_rqx_avg / task_group_avg * task_group's share
To sum up, this rewrite in principle is equivalent to the current one, but
fixes the issues described above. Turns out, it significantly reduces the
code complexity and hence increases clarity and efficiency. In addition,
the new averages are more smooth/continuous (no spurious spikes and valleys)
and updated more consistently and quickly to reflect the load dynamics.
As a result, we have less load tracking overhead, better performance,
and especially better power efficiency due to more balanced load.

Mathieu reported that since 317f394160 ("sched: Move the second half
of ttwu() to the remote cpu") trace_sched_wakeup() can happen out of
context of the waker.
This is a problem when you want to analyse wakeup paths because it is
now very hard to correlate the wakeup event to whoever issued the
wakeup.
OTOH trace_sched_wakeup() is issued at the point where we set
p->state = TASK_RUNNING, which is right were we hand the task off to
the scheduler, so this is an important point when looking at
scheduling behaviour, up to here its been the wakeup path everything
hereafter is due to scheduler policy.
To bridge this gap, introduce a second tracepoint: trace_sched_waking.
It is guaranteed to be called in the waker context.

Allow for a private opaque pointer to be passed from cgroup_can_fork to

Commit 1cde2930e1 ("sched/preempt: Add static_key() to preempt_notifiers")
had two problems. First, the preempt-notifier API needs to sleep with the
addition of the static_key, we do however need to hold off preemption
while modifying the preempt notifier list, otherwise a preemption could
observe an inconsistent list state. KVM correctly registers and
unregisters preempt notifiers with preemption disabled, so the sleep
caused dmesg splats.
Second, KVM registers and unregisters preemption notifiers very often
(in vcpu_load/vcpu_put). With a single uniprocessor guest the static key
would move between 0 and 1 continuously, hitting the slow path on every
userspace exit.
To fix this, wrap the static_key inc/dec in a new API, and call it from
KVM.

Eric reported that the timer_migration sysctl is not really nice
performance wise as it needs to check at every timer insertion whether
the feature is enabled or not. Further the check does not live in the
timer code, so we have an extra function call which checks an extra
cache line to figure out that it is disabled.
We can do better and store that information in the per cpu (hr)timer
bases. I pondered to use a static key, but that's a nightmare to
update from the nohz code and the timer base cache line is hot anyway
when we select a timer base.
The old logic enabled the timer migration unconditionally if
CONFIG_NO_HZ was set even if nohz was disabled on the kernel command
line.
With this modification, we start off with migration disabled. The user
visible sysctl is still set to enabled. If the kernel switches to NOHZ
migration is enabled, if the user did not disable it via the sysctl
prior to the switch. If nohz=off is on the kernel command line,
migration stays disabled no matter what.

Resetting the p->dl_throttled flag in rt_mutex_setprio() (for a task that is going
to be boosted) is superfluous, as the natural place to do so is in
replenish_dl_entity().
If the task was on the runqueue and it is boosted by a DL task, it will be enqueued
back with ENQUEUE_REPLENISH flag set, which can guarantee that dl_throttled is
reset in replenish_dl_entity().
This patch drops the resetting of throttled status in function rt_mutex_setprio().

preempt_notifier_unregister() documents:
"This is safe to call from within a preemption notifier."
However, both fire_sched_in_preempt_notifiers() and
fire_sched_out_preempt_notifiers() are using hlist_for_each_entry(),
which is not safe against entry removal during iteration.
Inspection of the KVM code does not reveal any use of
preempt_notifier_unregister() within the preempt notifiers.
Therefore, fix the comment.

In order to remove dropping rq->lock from the
switched_{to,from}()/prio_changed() sched_class methods, run the
balance callbacks after it.
We need to remove dropping rq->lock because its buggy,
suppose using sched_setattr()/sched_setscheduler() to change a running
task from FIFO to OTHER.
By the time we get to switched_from_rt() the task is already enqueued
on the cfs runqueues. If switched_from_rt() does pull_rt_task() and
drops rq->lock, load-balancing can come in and move our task @p to
another rq.
The subsequent switched_to_fair() still assumes @p is on @rq and bad
things will happen.
By using balance callbacks we delay the load-balancing operations
{rt,dl}x{push,pull} until we've done all the important work and the
task is fully set up.
Furthermore, the balance callbacks do not know about @p, therefore
they cannot get confused like this.

preempt_schedule_context() is a tracing safe preemption point but it's
only used when CONFIG_CONTEXT_TRACKING=y. Other configs have tracing
recursion issues since commit:
b30f0e3ffe ("sched/preempt: Optimize preemption operations on __schedule() callers")
introduced function based preemp_count_*() ops.
Lets make it available on all configs and give it a more appropriate
name for its new position.

Since function tracing disables preemption, it needs a safe preemption
point to use when preemption is re-enabled without worrying about tracing
recursion. Ie: to avoid tracing recursion, that preemption point can't
be traced (use of notrace qualifier) and it can't call any traceable
function before that preemption point disables preemption itself, which
disarms the recursion.
preempt_schedule() was fine until commit:
b30f0e3ffe ("sched/preempt: Optimize preemption operations on __schedule() callers")
because PREEMPT_ACTIVE (which has the property to disable preemption
and this disarm tracing preemption recursion) was set before calling
any further function.
But that commit introduced the use of preempt_count_add/sub() functions
to set PREEMPT_ACTIVE and because these functions are called before
preemption gets a chance to be disabled, we have a tracing recursion.
preempt_schedule_context() is one of the possible preemption functions
used by tracing. Its special purpose is to avoid tracing recursion
against context tracking. Lets enhance this function to become more
generally tracing safe by disabling preemption with raw accessors, such
that no function is called before preemption gets disabled and disarm
the tracing recursion.
This function is going to become the specific tracing-safe preemption
point in further commit.

- Kill (now) unused blk_queue_bio(), dm was changed to not need this

- Always use blk_schedule_flush_plug() from the io_schedule() path
when flushing a plug, fixing a !TASK_RUNNING warning with md. From
Shaohua"
* 'for-linus' of git://git.kernel.dk/linux-block:
sched: always use blk_schedule_flush_plug in io_schedule_out
nvme: fix kernel memory corruption with short INQUIRY buffers
block: remove export for blk_queue_bio
__schedule() disables preemption and some of its callers
(the preempt_schedule*() family) also set PREEMPT_ACTIVE.
So we have two preempt_count() modifications that could be performed
at once.
Lets remove the preemption disablement from __schedule() and pull
this responsibility to its callers in order to optimize preempt_count()
operations in a single place.

In the below two commits (see Fixes) we have periodic timers that can
stop themselves when they're no longer required, but need to be
(re)-started when their idle condition changes.
Further complications is that we want the timer handler to always do
the forward such that it will always correctly deal with the overruns,
and we do not want to race such that the handler has already decided
to stop, but the (external) restart sees the timer still active and we
end up with a 'lost' timer.
The problem with the current code is that the re-start can come before
the callback does the forward, at which point the forward from the
callback will WARN about forwarding an enqueued timer.
Now, conceptually its easy to detect if you're before or after the fwd
by comparing the expiration time against the current time. Of course,
that's expensive (and racy) because we don't have the current time.
Alternatively one could cache this state inside the timer, but then
everybody pays the overhead of maintaining this extra state, and that
is undesired.
The only other option that I could see is the external timer_active
variable, which I tried to kill before. I would love a nicer interface
for this seemingly simple 'problem' but alas.

The below cures this by marking a task as migrated and accounting it
on the subsequent sched_in().

This is useful for locking primitives that can effect multiple
wakeups per operation and want to avoid lock internal lock contention
by delaying the wakeups until we've released the lock internal locks.
Alternatively it can be used to avoid issuing multiple wakeups, and
thus save a few cycles, in packet processing. Queue all target tasks
and wakeup once you've processed all packets. That way you avoid
waking the target task multiple times if there were multiple packets
for the same task.
Properties of a wake_q are:
- Lockless, as queue head must reside on the stack.
- Being a queue, maintains wakeup order passed by the callers. This can
be important for otherwise, in scenarios where highly contended locks
could affect any reliance on lock fairness.
- A queued task cannot be added again until it is woken up.
This patch adds the needed infrastructure into the scheduler code
and uses the new wake_list to delay the futex wakeups until
after we've released the hash bucket locks.
