rseq: Eliminate useless task_work on execve
Eliminate a useless task_work on execve by moving the call to rseq_set_notify_resume() from sched_mm_cid_after_execve() to the error path of bprm_execve(). The call to rseq_set_notify_resume() from sched_mm_cid_after_execve() is pointless in the success case, because rseq_execve() will clear the rseq pointer before returning to userspace. sched_mm_cid_after_execve() is called from both the success and error paths of bprm_execve(). The call to rseq_set_notify_resume() is needed on error because the mm_cid may have changed. Also move the rseq_execve() to right after sched_mm_cid_after_execve() in bprm_execve().

Latency tracing changes for v6.15:
- Add some trace events to osnoise and timerlat sample generation This adds more information to the osnoise and timerlat tracers as well as allows BPF programs to be attached to these locations to extract even more data. - Fix to DECLARE_TRACE_CONDITION() macro It wasn't used but now will be and it happened to be broken causing the build to fail. - Add scheduler specification monitors to runtime verifier (RV) This is a continuation of Daniel Bristot's work. RV allows monitors to run and react concurrently. Running the cumulative model is equivalent to running single components using the same reactors, with the advantage that it's easier to point out which specification failed in case of error. This update introduces nested monitors to RV, in short, the sysfs monitor folder will contain a monitor named sched, which is nothing but an empty container for other monitors. Controlling the sched monitor (enable, disable, set reactors) controls all nested monitors. The following scheduling monitors are added: * sco: scheduling context operations Monitor to ensure sched_set_state happens only in thread context * tss: task switch while scheduling Monitor to ensure sched_switch happens only in scheduling context * snroc: set non runnable on its own context Monitor to ensure set_state happens only in the respective task's context * scpd: schedule called with preemption disabled Monitor to ensure schedule is called with preemption disabled * snep: schedule does not enable preempt Monitor to ensure schedule does not enable preempt * sncid: schedule not called with interrupt disabled Monitor to ensure schedule is not called with interrupt disabled -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- iIoEABYIADIWIQRRSw7ePDh/lE+zeZMp5XQQmuv6qgUCZ+QhuxQccm9zdGVkdEBn b29kbWlzLm9yZwAKCRAp5XQQmuv6qg62AP9bkeNDbiCuAqjZGddV09Hw26wC3yum kQoNSebD8G52rQEA9GDjK37xGzYwW/fJokhJVTV39qfub6inAJE5dS6WeQY= =8Ikv -----END PGP SIGNATURE----- Merge tag 'trace-latency-v6.15' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/trace/linux-trace Pull latency tracing updates from Steven Rostedt: - Add some trace events to osnoise and timerlat sample generation This adds more information to the osnoise and timerlat tracers as well as allows BPF programs to be attached to these locations to extract even more data. - Fix to DECLARE_TRACE_CONDITION() macro It wasn't used but now will be and it happened to be broken causing the build to fail. - Add scheduler specification monitors to runtime verifier (RV) This is a continuation of Daniel Bristot's work.

A treewide hrtimer timer cleanup
hrtimers are initialized with hrtimer_init() and a subsequent store to the callback pointer. This turned out to be suboptimal for the upcoming Rust integration and is obviously a silly implementation to begin with. This cleanup replaces the hrtimer_init(T); T->function = cb; sequence with hrtimer_setup(T, cb); The conversion was done with Coccinelle and a few manual fixups. Once the conversion has completely landed in mainline, hrtimer_init() will be removed and the hrtimer::function becomes a private member. -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- iQJHBAABCgAxFiEEQp8+kY+LLUocC4bMphj1TA10mKEFAmff5jQTHHRnbHhAbGlu dXRyb25peC5kZQAKCRCmGPVMDXSYoVvRD/wKtuwmiA66NJFgXC0qVq82A6fO3bY8 GBdbfysDJIbqGu5PTcULTbJ8qkqv3jeLUv6CcXvS4sZ7y/uJQl2lzf8yrD/0bbwc rLI6sHiPSZmK93kNVN4X5H7kvt7cE/DYC9nnEOgK3BY5FgKc4n9887d4aVBhL8Lv ODwVXvZ+xi351YCj7qRyPU24zt/p4tkkT1o2k4a0HBluqLI0D+V20fke9IERUL8r d1uWKlcn0TqYDesE8HXKIhbst3gx52rMJrXBJDHwFmG6v8Pj1fkTXCVpPo8QcBz8 OTVkpomN9f/Tx4+GZwhZOF86LhLL3OhxD6pT7JhFCXdmSGv+Ez8uyk1YZysM/XpV Juy/1yAcBpDIDkmhMFGdAAn48Nn9Fotty0r4je60zSEp1d/4QMXcFme29qr2JTUE iWnQ/HD6DxUjVHqy7CYvvo26Xegg1C7qgyOVt4PYZwAM1VKF5P3kzYTb4SAdxtop Tpji1sfW9QV08jqMNo6XntD32DSP9S2HqjO9LwBw700jnx2jjJ35fcJs6iodMOUn gckIZLMn3L0OoglPdyA5O7SNTbKE7aFiRKdnT/cJtR3Fa39Qu27CwC5gfiyuie9I Q+LG8GLuYSBHXAR+PBK4GWlzJ7Dn8k3eqmbnLeKpRMsU6ZzcttgA64xhaviN2wN0 iJbvLJeisXr3GA== =bYAX -----END PGP SIGNATURE----- Merge tag 'timers-cleanups-2025-03-23' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/tip/tip Pull timer cleanups from Thomas Gleixner: "A treewide hrtimer timer cleanup hrtimers are initialized with hrtimer_init() and a subsequent store to the callback pointer.

RCU pull request for v6.15

Moreover, by returning the percpu offset of the counter at srcu_read_lock_fast() time, srcu_read_unlock_fast() can save extra pointer dereferencing, which makes it faster than srcu_read_{un,}lock_lite(). srcu_read_{un,}lock_fast() are intended to replace rcu_read_{un,}lock_trace() if possible. torture.2025.02.05a: - Add get_torture_init_jiffies() to return the start time of the test. - Add a test_boost_holdoff module parameter to allow delaying boosting tests when building rcutorture as built-in. - Add grace period sequence number logging at the beginning and end of failure/close-call results. - Switch to hexadecimal for the expedited grace period sequence number in the rcu_exp_grace_period trace point. - Make cur_ops->format_gp_seqs take buffer length. - Move RCU_TORTURE_TEST_{CHK_RDR_STATE,LOG_CPU} to bool. - Complain when invalid SRCU reader_flavor is specified. - Add FORCE_NEED_SRCU_NMI_SAFE Kconfig for testing, which forces SRCU uses atomics even when percpu ops are NMI safe, and use the Kconfig for SRCU lockdep testing. misc.2025.03.04a: -

sched: Add sched tracepoints for RV task model
Add the following tracepoints: * sched_entry(bool preempt, ip) Called while entering __schedule * sched_exit(bool is_switch, ip) Called while exiting __schedule * sched_set_state(task, curr_state, state) Called when a task changes its state (to and from running) These tracepoints are useful to describe the Linux task model and are adapted from the patches by Daniel Bristot de Oliveira (https://bristot.me/linux-task-model/).

sched/debug: Change SCHED_WARN_ON() to WARN_ON_ONCE()
The scheduler has this special SCHED_WARN() facility that depends on CONFIG_SCHED_DEBUG. Since CONFIG_SCHED_DEBUG is getting removed, convert SCHED_WARN() to WARN_ON_ONCE(). Note that the warning output isn't 100% equivalent: #define SCHED_WARN_ON(x) WARN_ONCE(x, #x) Because SCHED_WARN_ON() would output the 'x' condition as well, while WARN_ONCE() will only show a backtrace. Hopefully these are rare enough to not really matter. If it does, we should probably introduce a new WARN_ON() variant that outputs the condition in stringified form, or improve WARN_ON() itself.

sched/deadline: Rebuild root domain accounting after every update
Rebuilding of root domains accounting information (total_bw) is
currently broken on some cases, e.g. suspend/resume on aarch64. Problem
is that the way we keep track of domain changes and try to add bandwidth
back is convoluted and fragile.
Fix it by simplify things by making sure bandwidth accounting is cleared
and completely restored after root domains changes (after root domains
are again stable).
To be sure we always call dl_rebuild_rd_accounting while holding
cpuset_mutex we also add cpuset_reset_sched_domains() wrapper.

sched: Add a generic function to return the preemption string
The individual architectures often add the preemption model to the begin of the backtrace. This is the case on X86 or ARM64 for the "die" case but not for regular warning. With the addition of DYNAMIC_PREEMPT for PREEMPT_RT we end up with CONFIG_PREEMPT and CONFIG_PREEMPT_RT set simultaneously.

sched/uclamp: Optimize sched_uclamp_used static key enabling
Repeat calls of static_branch_enable() to an already enabled static key introduce overhead, because it calls cpus_read_lock(). Users may frequently set the uclamp value of tasks, triggering the repeat enabling of the sched_uclamp_used static key. Optimize this and avoid repeat calls to static_branch_enable() by checking whether it's enabled already.

sched/core: Prevent rescheduling when interrupts are disabled
David reported a warning observed while loop testing kexec jump: Interrupts enabled after irqrouter_resume+0x0/0x50 WARNING: CPU: 0 PID: 560 at drivers/base/syscore.c:103 syscore_resume+0x18a/0x220 kernel_kexec+0xf6/0x180 __do_sys_reboot+0x206/0x250 do_syscall_64+0x95/0x180 The corresponding interrupt flag trace: hardirqs last enabled at (15573): [<ffffffffa8281b8e>] __up_console_sem+0x7e/0x90 hardirqs last disabled at (15580): [<ffffffffa8281b73>] __up_console_sem+0x63/0x90 That means __up_console_sem() was invoked with interrupts enabled. Further instrumentation revealed that in the interrupt disabled section of kexec jump one of the syscore_suspend() callbacks woke up a task, which set the NEED_RESCHED flag. A later callback in the resume path invoked cond_resched() which in turn led to the invocation of the scheduler: __cond_resched+0x21/0x60 down_timeout+0x18/0x60 acpi_os_wait_semaphore+0x4c/0x80 acpi_ut_acquire_mutex+0x3d/0x100 acpi_ns_get_node+0x27/0x60 acpi_ns_evaluate+0x1cb/0x2d0 acpi_rs_set_srs_method_data+0x156/0x190 acpi_pci_link_set+0x11c/0x290 irqrouter_resume+0x54/0x60 syscore_resume+0x6a/0x200 kernel_kexec+0x145/0x1c0 __do_sys_reboot+0xeb/0x240 do_syscall_64+0x95/0x180 This is a long standing problem, which probably got more visible with the recent printk changes. Something does a task wakeup and the scheduler sets the NEED_RESCHED flag. cond_resched() sees it set and invokes schedule() from a completely bogus context. The scheduler enables interrupts after context switching, which causes the above warning at the end. Quite some of the code paths in syscore_suspend()/resume() can result in triggering a wakeup with the exactly same consequences. They might not have done so yet, but as they share a lot of code with normal operations it's just a question of time. The problem only affects the PREEMPT_NONE and PREEMPT_VOLUNTARY scheduling models. Full preemption is not affected as cond_resched() is disabled and the preemption check preemptible() takes the interrupt disabled flag into account. Cure the problem by adding a corresponding check into cond_resched().

sched_ext: Implement SCX_OPS_ALLOW_QUEUED_WAKEUP
A task wakeup can be either processed on the waker's CPU or bounced to the wakee's previous CPU using an IPI (ttwu_queue). Bouncing to the wakee's CPU avoids the waker's CPU locking and accessing the wakee's rq which can be expensive across cache and node boundaries. When ttwu_queue path is taken, select_task_rq() and thus ops.select_cpu() may be skipped in some cases (racing against the wakee switching out). As this confused some BPF schedulers, there wasn't a good way for a BPF scheduler to tell whether idle CPU selection has been skipped, ops.enqueue() couldn't insert tasks into foreign local DSQs, and the performance difference on machines with simple toplogies were minimal, sched_ext disabled ttwu_queue. However, this optimization makes noticeable difference on more complex topologies and a BPF scheduler now has an easy way tell whether ops.select_cpu() was skipped since |

treewide: const qualify ctl_tables where applicable
Add the const qualifier to all the ctl_tables in the tree except for
watchdog_hardlockup_sysctl, memory_allocation_profiling_sysctls,
loadpin_sysctl_table and the ones calling register_net_sysctl (./net,
drivers/inifiniband dirs). These are special cases as they use a
registration function with a non-const qualified ctl_table argument or
modify the arrays before passing them on to the registration function.
Constifying ctl_table structs will prevent the modification of
proc_handler function pointers as the arrays would reside in .rodata.
This is made possible after commit

sched_ext: Fix incorrect autogroup migration detection
scx_move_task() is called from sched_move_task() and tells the BPF scheduler
that cgroup migration is being committed. sched_move_task() is used by both
cgroup and autogroup migrations and scx_move_task() tried to filter out
autogroup migrations by testing the destination cgroup and PF_EXITING but
this is not enough. In fact, without explicitly tagging the thread which is
doing the cgroup migration, there is no good way to tell apart
scx_move_task() invocations for racing migration to the root cgroup and an
autogroup migration.
This led to scx_move_task() incorrectly ignoring a migration from non-root
cgroup to an autogroup of the root cgroup triggering the following warning:
WARNING: CPU: 7 PID: 1 at kernel/sched/ext.c:3725 scx_cgroup_can_attach+0x196/0x340

Fix it by adding an argument to sched_move_task() that indicates whether the
moving is for a cgroup or autogroup migration. After the change,
scx_move_task() is called only for cgroup migrations and renamed to
scx_cgroup_move_task().

hung_task: add task->flags, blocked by coredump to log
Resending this patch as I haven't received feedback on my initial submission https://lore.kernel.org/all/20241204182953.10854-1-oxana@cloudflare.com/ For the processes which are terminated abnormally the kernel can provide a coredump if enabled. When the coredump is performed, the process and all its threads are put into the D state (TASK_UNINTERRUPTIBLE | TASK_FREEZABLE). On the other hand, we have kernel thread khungtaskd which monitors the processes in the D state. If the task stuck in the D state more than kernel.hung_task_timeout_secs, the hung_task alert appears in the kernel log. The higher memory usage of a process, the longer it takes to create coredump, the longer tasks are in the D state. We have hung_task alerts for the processes with memory usage above 10Gb. Although, our kernel.hung_task_timeout_secs is 10 sec when the default is 120 sec. Adding additional information to the log that the task is blocked by coredump will help with monitoring. Another approach might be to completely filter out alerts for such tasks, but in that case we would lose transparency about what is putting pressure on some system resources, e.g. we saw an increase in I/O when coredump occurs due its writing to disk. Additionally, it would be helpful to have task_struct->flags in the log from the function sched_show_task(). Currently it prints task_struct->thread_info->flags, this seems misleading as the line starts with "task:xxxx".

Kthreads affinity follow either of 4 existing different patterns:
1) Per-CPU kthreads must stay affine to a single CPU and never execute relevant code on any other CPU. This is currently handled by smpboot code which takes care of CPU-hotplug operations. Affinity here is a correctness constraint. 2) Some kthreads _have_ to be affine to a specific set of CPUs and can't run anywhere else. The affinity is set through kthread_bind_mask() and the subsystem takes care by itself to handle CPU-hotplug operations. Affinity here is assumed to be a correctness constraint. 3) Per-node kthreads _prefer_ to be affine to a specific NUMA node. This is not a correctness constraint but merely a preference in terms of memory locality. kswapd and kcompactd both fall into this category. The affinity is set manually like for any other task and CPU-hotplug is supposed to be handled by the relevant subsystem so that the task is properly reaffined whenever a given CPU from the node comes up. Also care should be taken so that the node affinity doesn't cross isolated (nohz_full) cpumask boundaries. 4) Similar to the previous point except kthreads have a _preferred_ affinity different than a node. Both RCU boost kthreads and RCU exp kworkers fall into this category as they refer to "RCU nodes" from a distinctly distributed tree. Currently the preferred affinity patterns (3 and 4) have at least 4 identified users, with more or less success when it comes to handle CPU-hotplug operations and CPU isolation. Each of which do it in its own ad-hoc way. This is an infrastructure proposal to handle this with the following API changes: _ kthread_create_on_node() automatically affines the created kthread to its target node unless it has been set as per-cpu or bound with kthread_bind[_mask]() before the first wake-up. - kthread_affine_preferred() is a new function that can be called right after kthread_create_on_node() to specify a preferred affinity different than the specified node. When the preferred affinity can't be applied because the possible targets are offline or isolated (nohz_full), the kthread is affine to the housekeeping CPUs (which means to all online CPUs most of the time or only the non-nohz_full CPUs when nohz_full= is set). kswapd, kcompactd, RCU boost kthreads and RCU exp kworkers have been converted, along with a few old drivers. Summary of the changes: * Consolidate a bunch of ad-hoc implementations of kthread_run_on_cpu() * Introduce task_cpu_fallback_mask() that defines the default last resort affinity of a task to become nohz_full aware * Add some correctness check to ensure kthread_bind() is always called before the first kthread wake up. * Default affine kthread to its preferred node. * Convert kswapd / kcompactd and remove their halfway working ad-hoc affinity implementation * Implement kthreads preferred affinity * Unify kthread worker and kthread API's style * Convert RCU kthreads to the new API and remove the ad-hoc affinity implementation. -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- iQIzBAABCAAdFiEEd76+gtGM8MbftQlOhSRUR1COjHcFAmeNf8gACgkQhSRUR1CO jHedQQ/+IxTjjqQiItzrq41TES2S0desHDq8lNJFb7rsR/DtKFyLx3s67cOYV+cM Yx54QHg2m/Fz4nXMQ7Po5ygOtJGCKBc5C5QQy7y0lVKeTQK+daDfEtBSa3oG7j3C u+E3tTY6qxkbCzymUyaKkHN4/ay2vLvjFS50luV7KMyI3x47Aji+t7VdCX4LCPP2 eAwOALWD0+7qLJ/VF6gsmQLKA4Qx7PQAzBa3KSBmUN9UcN8Gk1bQHCTIQKDHP9LQ v8BXrNZtYX1o2+snNYpX2z6/ECjxkdwriOgqqZY5306hd9RAQ1u46Dx3byrIqjGn ULG/XQ2istPyhTqb/h+RbrobdOcwEUIeqk8hRRbBXE8bPpqUz9EMuaCMxWDbQjgH NTuKG4ifKJ/IqstkkuDkdOiByE/ysMmwqrTXgSnu2ITNL9yY3BEgFbvA95hgo42s f7QCxEfZb1MHcNEMENSMwM3xw5lLMGMpxVZcMQ3gLwyotMBRrhFZm1qZJG7TITYW IDIeCbH4JOMdQwLs3CcWTXio0N5/85NhRNFV+IDn96OrgxObgnMtV8QwNgjXBAJ5 wGeJWt8s34W1Zo3qS9gEuVzEhW4XaxISQQMkHe8faKkK6iHmIB/VjSQikDwwUNQ/ AspYj82RyWBCDZsqhiYh71kpxjvS6Xp0bj39Ce1sNsOnuksxKkQ= =g8In -----END PGP SIGNATURE----- Merge tag 'kthread-for-6.14-rc1' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/frederic/linux-dynticks Pull kthread updates from Frederic Weisbecker: "Kthreads affinity follow either of 4 existing different patterns: 1) Per-CPU kthreads must stay affine to a single CPU and never execute relevant code on any other CPU.

lazy tlb: fix hotplug exit race with MMU_LAZY_TLB_SHOOTDOWN
CPU unplug first calls __cpu_disable(), and that's where powerpc calls cleanup_cpu_mmu_context(), which clears this CPU from mm_cpumask() of all mms in the system. However this CPU may still be using a lazy tlb mm, and its mm_cpumask bit will be cleared from it. The CPU does not switch away from the lazy tlb mm until arch_cpu_idle_dead() calls idle_task_exit(). If that user mm exits in this window, it will not be subject to the lazy tlb mm shootdown and may be freed while in use as a lazy mm by the CPU that is being unplugged. cleanup_cpu_mmu_context() could be moved later, but it looks better to move the lazy tlb mm switching earlier. The problem with doing the lazy mm switching in idle_task_exit() is explained in commit |

kasan: make kasan_record_aux_stack_noalloc() the default behaviour
kasan_record_aux_stack_noalloc() was introduced to record a stack trace
without allocating memory in the process. It has been added to callers
which were invoked while a raw_spinlock_t was held. More and more callers
were identified and changed over time. Is it a good thing to have this
while functions try their best to do a locklessly setup? The only
downside of having kasan_record_aux_stack() not allocate any memory is
that we end up without a stacktrace if stackdepot runs out of memory and
at the same stacktrace was not recorded before To quote Marco Elver from
https://lore.kernel.org/all/CANpmjNPmQYJ7pv1N3cuU8cP18u7PP_uoZD8YxwZd4jtbof9nVQ@mail.gmail.com/
| I'd be in favor, it simplifies things. And stack depot should be
| able to replenish its pool sufficiently in the "non-aux" cases
| i.e. regular allocations. Worst case we fail to record some
| aux stacks, but I think that's only really bad if there's a bug
| around one of these allocations. In general the probabilities
| of this being a regression are extremely small [...]
Make the kasan_record_aux_stack_noalloc() behaviour default as
kasan_record_aux_stack().

If a task wakes before psi_sched_switch() adjusts the PSI flags, skip any modifications in psi_enqueue() which would still see the flags of a running task and not a blocked one. Instead, rely on psi_sched_switch() to do the right thing. Since the status returned by try_to_block_task() may no longer be true by the time schedule reaches psi_sched_switch(), check if the task is blocked or not using a combination of task_on_rq_queued() and p->se.sched_delayed checks.

sched_ext: Implement scx_bpf_now()
Returns a high-performance monotonically non-decreasing clock for the current CPU. The clock returned is in nanoseconds. It provides the following properties: 1) High performance: Many BPF schedulers call bpf_ktime_get_ns() frequently to account for execution time and track tasks' runtime properties. Unfortunately, in some hardware platforms, bpf_ktime_get_ns() -- which eventually reads a hardware timestamp counter -- is neither performant nor scalable. scx_bpf_now() aims to provide a high-performance clock by using the rq clock in the scheduler core whenever possible. 2) High enough resolution for the BPF scheduler use cases: In most BPF scheduler use cases, the required clock resolution is lower than the most accurate hardware clock (e.g., rdtsc in x86). scx_bpf_now() basically uses the rq clock in the scheduler core whenever it is valid. It considers that the rq clock is valid from the time the rq clock is updated (update_rq_clock) until the rq is unlocked (rq_unpin_lock). 3) Monotonically non-decreasing clock for the same CPU: scx_bpf_now() guarantees the clock never goes backward when comparing them in the same CPU. On the other hand, when comparing clocks in different CPUs, there is no such guarantee -- the clock can go backward. It provides a monotonically *non-decreasing* clock so that it would provide the same clock values in two different scx_bpf_now() calls in the same CPU during the same period of when the rq clock is valid. An rq clock becomes valid when it is updated using update_rq_clock() and invalidated when the rq is unlocked using rq_unpin_lock(). Let's suppose the following timeline in the scheduler core: T1. rq_lock(rq) T2. update_rq_clock(rq) T3. a sched_ext BPF operation T4. rq_unlock(rq) T5. a sched_ext BPF operation T6. rq_lock(rq) T7. update_rq_clock(rq) For [T2, T4), we consider that rq clock is valid (SCX_RQ_CLK_VALID is set), so scx_bpf_now() calls during [T2, T4) (including T3) will return the rq clock updated at T2. For duration [T4, T7), when a BPF scheduler can still call scx_bpf_now() (T5), we consider the rq clock is invalid (SCX_RQ_CLK_VALID is unset at T4). So when calling scx_bpf_now() at T5, we will return a fresh clock value by calling sched_clock_cpu() internally. Also, to prevent getting outdated rq clocks from a previous scx scheduler, invalidate all the rq clocks when unloading a BPF scheduler. One example of calling scx_bpf_now(), when the rq clock is invalid (like T5), is in scx_central [1]. The scx_central scheduler uses a BPF timer for preemptive scheduling. In every msec, the timer callback checks if the currently running tasks exceed their timeslice. At the beginning of the BPF timer callback (central_timerfn in scx_central.bpf.c), scx_central gets the current time. When the BPF timer callback runs, the rq clock could be invalid, the same as T5. In this case, scx_bpf_now() returns a fresh clock value rather than returning the old one (T2).

sched,arm64: Handle CPU isolation on last resort fallback rq selection
When a kthread or any other task has an affinity mask that is fully offline or unallowed, the scheduler reaffines the task to all possible CPUs as a last resort. This default decision doesn't mix up very well with nohz_full CPUs that are part of the possible cpumask but don't want to be disturbed by unbound kthreads or even detached pinned user tasks.

sched/fair: Fix sched_can_stop_tick() for fair tasks
We can't stop the tick of a rq if there are at least 2 tasks enqueued in
the whole hierarchy and not only at the root cfs rq.
rq->cfs.nr_running tracks the number of sched_entity at one level
whereas rq->cfs.h_nr_running tracks all queued tasks in the
hierarchy.

sched/deadline: Check bandwidth overflow earlier for hotplug
Currently we check for bandwidth overflow potentially due to hotplug operations at the end of sched_cpu_deactivate(), after the cpu going offline has already been removed from scheduling, active_mask, etc. This can create issues for DEADLINE tasks, as there is a substantial race window between the start of sched_cpu_deactivate() and the moment we possibly decide to roll-back the operation if dl_bw_deactivate() returns failure in cpuset_cpu_inactive(). An example is a throttled task that sees its replenishment timer firing while the cpu it was previously running on is considered offline, but before dl_bw_deactivate() had a chance to say no and roll-back happened. Fix this by directly calling dl_bw_deactivate() first thing in sched_cpu_deactivate() and do the required calculation in the former function considering the cpu passed as an argument as offline already. By doing so we also simplify sched_cpu_deactivate(), as there is no need anymore for any kind of roll-back if we fail early.

sched/deadline: Correctly account for allocated bandwidth during hotplug
For hotplug operations, DEADLINE needs to check that there is still enough bandwidth left after removing the CPU that is going offline. We however fail to do so currently. Restore the correct behavior by restructuring dl_bw_manage() a bit, so that overflow conditions (not enough bandwidth left) are properly checked. Also account for dl_server bandwidth, i.e. discount such bandwidth in the calculation since NORMAL tasks will be anyway moved away from the CPU as a result of the hotplug operation.

sched: Don't try to catch up excess steal time.
When steal time exceeds the measured delta when updating clock_task, we currently try to catch up the excess in future updates. However, this results in inaccurate run times for the future things using clock_task, in some situations, as they end up getting additional steal time that did not actually happen. This is because there is a window between reading the elapsed time in update_rq_clock() and sampling the steal time in update_rq_clock_task(). If the VCPU gets preempted between those two points, any additional steal time is accounted to the outgoing task even though the calculated delta did not actually contain any of that "stolen" time. When this race happens, we can end up with steal time that exceeds the calculated delta, and the previous code would try to catch up that excess steal time in future clock updates, which is given to the next, incoming task, even though it did not actually have any time stolen. This behavior is particularly bad when steal time can be very long, which we've seen when trying to extend steal time to contain the duration that the host was suspended [0]. When this happens, clock_task stays frozen, during which the running task stays running for the whole duration, since its run time doesn't increase. However the race can happen even under normal operation. Ideally we would read the elapsed cpu time and the steal time atomically, to prevent this race from happening in the first place, but doing so is non-trivial. Since the time between those two points isn't otherwise accounted anywhere, neither to the outgoing task nor the incoming task (because the "end of outgoing task" and "start of incoming task" timestamps are the same), I would argue that the right thing to do is to simply drop any excess steal time, in order to prevent these issues.

sched/core: Prevent wakeup of ksoftirqd during idle load balance
Scheduler raises a SCHED_SOFTIRQ to trigger a load balancing event on
from the IPI handler on the idle CPU. If the SMP function is invoked
from an idle CPU via flush_smp_call_function_queue() then the HARD-IRQ
flag is not set and raise_softirq_irqoff() needlessly wakes ksoftirqd
because soft interrupts are handled before ksoftirqd get on the CPU.
Adding a trace_printk() in nohz_csd_func() at the spot of raising
SCHED_SOFTIRQ and enabling trace events for sched_switch, sched_wakeup,
and softirq_entry (for SCHED_SOFTIRQ vector alone) helps observing the
current behavior:
<idle>-0 [000] dN.1.: nohz_csd_func: Raising SCHED_SOFTIRQ from nohz_csd_func
<idle>-0 [000] dN.4.: sched_wakeup: comm=ksoftirqd/0 pid=16 prio=120 target_cpu=000
<idle>-0 [000] .Ns1.: softirq_entry: vec=7 [action=SCHED]
<idle>-0 [000] .Ns1.: softirq_exit: vec=7 [action=SCHED]
<idle>-0 [000] d..2.: sched_switch: prev_comm=swapper/0 prev_pid=0 prev_prio=120 prev_state=R ==> next_comm=ksoftirqd/0 next_pid=16 next_prio=120
ksoftirqd/0-16 [000] d..2.: sched_switch: prev_comm=ksoftirqd/0 prev_pid=16 prev_prio=120 prev_state=S ==> next_comm=swapper/0 next_pid=0 next_prio=120
...
Use __raise_softirq_irqoff() to raise the softirq. The SMP function call
is always invoked on the requested CPU in an interrupt handler. It is
guaranteed that soft interrupts are handled at the end.
Following are the observations with the changes when enabling the same
set of events:
<idle>-0 [000] dN.1.: nohz_csd_func: Raising SCHED_SOFTIRQ for nohz_idle_balance
<idle>-0 [000] dN.1.: softirq_raise: vec=7 [action=SCHED]
<idle>-0 [000] .Ns1.: softirq_entry: vec=7 [action=SCHED]
No unnecessary ksoftirqd wakeups are seen from idle task's context to
service the softirq.

sched_ext: Handle cases where pick_task_scx() is called without preceding balance_scx()
sched_ext dispatches tasks from the BPF scheduler from balance_scx() and thus every pick_task_scx() call must be preceded by balance_scx(). While this usually holds, due to a bug, there are cases where the fair class's balance() returns true indicating that it has tasks to run on the CPU and thus terminating balance() calls but fails to actually find the next task to run when pick_task() is called. In such cases, pick_task_scx() can be called without preceding balance_scx(). Detect this condition using SCX_RQ_BAL_PENDING flags. If detected, keep running the previous task if possible and avoid stalling from entering idle without balancing.
