sched_ext: Unify regular and core-sched pick task paths
Because the BPF scheduler's dispatch path is invoked from balance(),
sched_ext needs to invoke balance_one() on all sibling rq's before picking
the next task for core-sched.
Before the recent pick_next_task() updates, sched_ext couldn't share pick
task between regular and core-sched paths because pick_next_task() depended
on put_prev_task() being called on the current task. Tasks currently running
on sibling rq's can't be put when one rq is trying to pick the next task, so
pick_task_scx() had to have a separate mechanism to pick between a sibling
rq's current task and the first task in its local DSQ.
However, with the preceding updates, pick_next_task_scx() no longer depends
on the current task being put and can compare the current task and the next
in line statelessly, and the pick task logic should be shareable between
regular and core-sched paths.
Unify regular and core-sched pick task paths:
- There's no reason to distinguish local and sibling picks anymore. @local
is removed from balance_one().
- pick_next_task_scx() is turned into pick_task_scx() by dropping the
put_prev_set_next_task() call.
sched_ext: Replace SCX_TASK_BAL_KEEP with SCX_RQ_BAL_KEEP
SCX_TASK_BAL_KEEP is used by balance_one() to tell pick_next_task_scx() to
keep running the current task. It's not really a task property. Replace it
with SCX_RQ_BAL_KEEP which resides in rq->scx.flags and is a better fit for
the usage. Also, the existing clearing rule is unnecessarily strict and
makes it difficult to use with core-sched. Just clear it on entry to
balance_one().
making invoking put_prev_task() pick_next_task()'s responsibility. This
reordering allows pick_task() to be shared between regular and core-sched
paths and put_prev_task() to know the next task.
sched_ext depended on put_prev_task_scx() enqueueing the current task before
pick_next_task_scx() is called. While pulling sched/core changes, 70cc76aa0d80 ("Merge branch 'tip/sched/core' into for-6.12") added an
explicit put_prev_task_scx() call for SCX tasks in pick_next_task_scx()
before picking the first task as a workaround.
Clean it up and adopt the conventions that other sched classes are
following.
The operation of keeping running the current task was spread and required
the task to be put on the local DSQ before picking:
- balance_one() used SCX_TASK_BAL_KEEP to indicate that the task is still
runnable, hasn't exhausted its slice, and thus should keep running.
- put_prev_task_scx() enqueued the task to local DSQ if SCX_TASK_BAL_KEEP
is set. It also called do_enqueue_task() with SCX_ENQ_LAST if it is the
only runnable task. do_enqueue_task() in turn decided whether to use the
local DSQ depending on SCX_OPS_ENQ_LAST.
Consolidate the logic in balance_one() as it always knows whether it is
going to keep the current task. balance_one() now considers all conditions
where the current task should be kept and uses SCX_TASK_BAL_KEEP to tell
pick_next_task_scx() to keep the current task instead of picking one from
the local DSQ. Accordingly, SCX_ENQ_LAST handling is removed from
put_prev_task_scx() and do_enqueue_task() and pick_next_task_scx() is
updated to pick the current task if SCX_TASK_BAL_KEEP is set.
The workaround put_prev_task[_scx]() calls are replaced with
put_prev_set_next_task().
This causes two behavior changes observable from the BPF scheduler:
- When a task keep running, it no longer goes through enqueue/dequeue cycle
and thus ops.stopping/running() transitions. The new behavior is better
and all the existing schedulers should be able to handle the new behavior.
- The BPF scheduler cannot keep executing the current task by enqueueing
SCX_ENQ_LAST task to the local DSQ. If SCX_OPS_ENQ_LAST is specified, the
BPF scheduler is responsible for resuming execution after each
SCX_ENQ_LAST. SCX_OPS_ENQ_LAST is mostly useful for cases where scheduling
decisions are not made on the local CPU - e.g. central or userspace-driven
schedulin - and the new behavior is more logical and shouldn't pose any
problems. SCX_OPS_ENQ_LAST demonstration from scx_qmap is dropped as it
doesn't fit that well anymore and the last task handling is moved to the
end of qmap_dispatch().

sched: Add put_prev_task(.next)
In order to tell the previous sched_class what the next task is, add
put_prev_task(.next).
Notable SCX will use this to:
1) determine the next task will leave the SCX sched class and push
the current task to another CPU if possible.
2) statistics on how often and which other classes preempt it

sched: Rework dl_server
When a task is selected through a dl_server, it will have p->dl_server
set, such that it can account runtime to the dl_server, see
update_curr_task().
Currently p->dl_server is set in pick*task() whenever it goes through
the dl_server, clearing it is a bit of a mess though. The trivial
solution is clearing it on the final put (now that we have this
location).
However, this gives a problem when:
p = pick_task(rq);
if (p)
put_prev_set_next_task(rq, prev, next);
picks the same task but through a different path, notably when it goes
from picking through the dl_server to a direct pick or vice-versa. In
that case we cannot readily determine wether we should clear or
preserve p->dl_server.
An additional complication is pick_*task() setting p->dl_server for a
remote pick, it might still need to update runtime before it schedules
the core_pick.
Close all these holes and remove all the random clearing of
p->dl_server by:
- having pick_*task() manage rq->dl_server
- having the final put_prev_task() clear p->dl_server
- having the first set_next_task() set p->dl_server = rq->dl_server
- complicate the core_sched code to save/restore rq->dl_server where
appropriate.
The reason is that sched_ext would like to have a 'final' call that
knows the next task. By placing put_prev_task() right next to
set_next_task() (as it already is for sched_core) this becomes
trivial.
the idea being that since the task has switched classes, we need to drop
the sched_delayed logic and have that task be deactivated per its previous
dequeue_task(..., DEQUEUE_SLEEP).
Unfortunately, this leaves the task on_rq. This is missing the tail end of
dequeue_entities() that issues __block_task(), which __sched_setscheduler()
won't have done due to not using DEQUEUE_DELAYED - not that it should, as
it is pretty much a fair_sched_class specific thing.
Make switched_from_fair() properly deactivate sched_delayed tasks upon
class changes via __block_task(), as if a
dequeue_task(..., DEQUEUE_DELAYED)
had been issued.

Since 3cf78c5d01d6 ("sched_ext: Unpin and repin rq lock from

function. This is simpler and in line with what other balance functions are
doing but it loses control over rq->clock_update_flags which makes
assert_clock_udpated() trigger if other CPUs pins the rq lock.
The only place this matters is touch_core_sched() which uses the timestamp

scx_central: Fix smatch checker warning
ARRAY_ELEM_PTR() is an access macro used to help the BPF verifier not

a way that's clear to the verifier. As such, the canonical usage involves
checking NULL return from the macro. Note that in many cases, the NULL

In a bpf_loop in scx_central.bpf.c::central_dispatch(), the NULL check was
incorrect in that there was another dereference of the pointer in addition
to the NULL checked access. This worked as the pointer can never be NULL and
the verifier could tell it would never be NULL in this case.

example, a scheduler could do something like the following:

2. Synchronously call into a BPF_PROG_TYPE_SYSCALL prog from user space.
For example, to initialize an LLC domain, or some other global,
read-only state.
3. Attach the skel, which actually enables the scheduler
The advantage of doing this is that it can preclude having to do pretty
ugly boilerplate like initializing a read-only, statically sized array of
u64[]'s which the kernel consumes literally once at init time to then
create struct bpf_cpumask objects which are actually queried at runtime.
Doing the above is already possible given that we can invoke core BPF
kfuncs, such as bpf_cpumask_create(), from BPF_PROG_TYPE_SYSCALL progs. We

sched/deadline: Deferrable dl server
Among the motivations for the DL servers is the real-time throttling
mechanism. This mechanism works by throttling the rt_rq after
running for a long period without leaving space for fair tasks.
The base dl server avoids this problem by boosting fair tasks instead
of throttling the rt_rq. The point is that it boosts without waiting
for potential starvation, causing some non-intuitive cases.
For example, an IRQ dispatches two tasks on an idle system, a fair
and an RT. The DL server will be activated, running the fair task
before the RT one. This problem can be avoided by deferring the
dl server activation.
By setting the defer option, the dl_server will dispatch an
SCHED_DEADLINE reservation with replenished runtime, but throttled.
The dl_timer will be set for the defer time at (period - runtime) ns
from start time. Thus boosting the fair rq at defer time.
If the fair scheduler has the opportunity to run while waiting
for defer time, the dl server runtime will be consumed. If
the runtime is completely consumed before the defer time, the
server will be replenished while still in a throttled state. Then,
the dl_timer will be reset to the new defer time
If the fair server reaches the defer time without consuming
its runtime, the server will start running, following CBS rules
(thus without breaking SCHED_DEADLINE). Then the server will
continue the running state (without deferring) until it fair
tasks are able to execute as regular fair scheduler (end of
the starvation).

sched/core: Add WARN_ON_ONCE() to check overflow for migrate_disable()
Background
==========
When repeated migrate_disable() calls are made with missing the
corresponding migrate_enable() calls, there is a risk of
'migration_disabled' going upper overflow because
'migration_disabled' is a type of unsigned short whose max value is
65535.
In PREEMPT_RT kernel, if 'migration_disabled' goes upper overflow, it may
make the migrate_disable() ineffective within local_lock_irqsave(). This
is because, during the scheduling procedure, the value of
'migration_disabled' will be checked, which can trigger CPU migration.
Consequently, the count of 'rcu_read_lock_nesting' may leak due to
local_lock_irqsave() and local_unlock_irqrestore() occurring on different
CPUs.
Usecase
========
For example, When I developed a driver, I encountered a warning like
"WARNING: CPU: 4 PID: 260 at kernel/rcu/tree_plugin.h:315
rcu_note_context_switch+0xa8/0x4e8" warning. It took me half a month
to locate this issue. Ultimately, I discovered that the lack of upper
overflow detection mechanism in migrate_disable() was the root cause,
leading to a significant amount of time spent on problem localization.
If the upper overflow detection mechanism was added to migrate_disable(),
the root cause could be very quickly and easily identified.
Effect

sched: Initialize the vruntime of a new task when it is first enqueued
When creating a new task, we initialize vruntime of the newly task at
sched_cgroup_fork(). However, the timing of executing this action is too
early and may not be accurate.
Because it uses current CPU to init the vruntime, but the new task
actually runs on the cpu which be assigned at wake_up_new_task().
To optimize this case, we pass ENQUEUE_INITIAL flag to activate_task()
in wake_up_new_task(), in this way, when place_entity is called in
enqueue_entity(), the vruntime of the new task will be initialized.
In addition, place_entity() in task_fork_fair() was introduced for two
reasons:
1. Previously, the __enqueue_entity() was in task_new_fair(),
in order to provide vruntime for enqueueing the newly task, the
vruntime assignment equation "se->vruntime = cfs_rq->min_vruntime" was
introduced by commit e9acbff6484d ("sched: introduce se->vruntime").
This is the initial state of place_entity().
2. commit 4d78e7b656aa ("sched: new task placement for vruntime") added
child_runs_first task placement feature which based on vruntime, this
also requires the new task's vruntime value.
After removing the child_runs_first and enqueue_entity() from
task_fork_fair(), this place_entity() no longer makes sense, so remove
it also.
Because when cpuset_cpu_inactive() fails in sched_cpu_deactivate(),
the cpu offline failed, but sched_smt_present is decremented before
calling sched_cpu_deactivate(), it leads to unbalanced dec/inc, so
fix it by incrementing sched_smt_present in the error path.

minmax: simplify and clarify min_t()/max_t() implementation
This simplifies the min_t() and max_t() macros by no longer making them
work in the context of a C constant expression.
That means that you can no longer use them for static initializers or
for array sizes in type definitions, but there were only a couple of
such uses, and all of them were converted (famous last words) to use
MIN_T/MAX_T instead.

Commit 3a7e02c040b1 ("minmax: avoid overly complicated constant
expressions in VM code") added the simpler MIN_T/MAX_T macros in order
to avoid some excessive expansion from the rather complicated regular
min/max macros.
The complexity of those macros stems from two issues:
(a) trying to use them in situations that require a C constant
expression (in static initializers and for array sizes)
(b) the type sanity checking
and MIN_T/MAX_T avoids both of these issues.
Now, in the whole (long) discussion about all this, it was pointed out
that the whole type sanity checking is entirely unnecessary for
min_t/max_t which get a fixed type that the comparison is done in.
But that still leaves min_t/max_t unnecessarily complicated due to
worries about the C constant expression case.
However, it turns out that there really aren't very many cases that use
min_t/max_t for this, and we can just force-convert those.
This does exactly that.
Which in turn will then allow for much simpler implementations of
min_t()/max_t(). All the usual "macros in all upper case will evaluate
the arguments multiple times" rules apply.
We should do all the same things for the regular min/max() vs MIN/MAX()
cases, but that has the added complexity of various drivers defining
their own local versions of MIN/MAX, so that needs another level of
fixes first.
kbuild: Fix '-S -c' in x86 stack protector scripts
After a recent change in clang to stop consuming all instances of '-S'
and '-c' [1], the stack protector scripts break due to the kernel's use
of -Werror=unused-command-line-argument to catch cases where flags are
not being properly consumed by the compiler driver:
$ echo | clang -o - -x c - -S -c -Werror=unused-command-line-argument
clang: error: argument unused during compilation: '-c' [-Werror,-Wunused-command-line-argument]
This results in CONFIG_STACKPROTECTOR getting disabled because
CONFIG_CC_HAS_SANE_STACKPROTECTOR is no longer set.
'-c' and '-S' both instruct the compiler to stop at different stages of
the pipeline ('-S' after compiling, '-c' after assembling), so having
them present together in the same command makes little sense. In this
case, the test wants to stop before assembling because it is looking at
the textual assembly output of the compiler for either '%fs' or '%gs',
so remove '-c' from the list of arguments to resolve the error.
All versions of GCC continue to work after this change, along with
versions of clang that do or do not contain the change mentioned above.

"Core:
- A CXL maturity map has been added to the documentation to detail
the current state of CXL enabling.
It provides the status of the current state of various CXL features
to inform current and future contributors of where things are and
which areas need contribution.
- A notifier handler has been added in order for a newly created CXL
memory region to trigger the abstract distance metrics calculation.
This should bring parity for CXL memory to the same level vs
hotplugged DRAM for NUMA abstract distance calculation. The
abstract distance reflects relative performance used for memory
tiering handling.
- An addition for XOR math has been added to address the CXL DPA to
SPA translation.
CXL address translation did not support address interleave math
with XOR prior to this change.
Fixes:
- Fix to address race condition in the CXL memory hotplug notifier
- Add missing MODULE_DESCRIPTION() for CXL modules
- Fix incorrect vendor debug UUID define

- A warning has been added to inform users of an unsupported
configuration when mixing CXL VH and RCH/RCD hierarchies
- The ENXIO error code has been replaced with EBUSY for inject poison

Pull vfs fixes from Christian Brauner:
"This contains two fixes for this merge window:
VFS:
- I noticed that it is possible for a privileged user to mount most
filesystems with a non-initial user namespace in sb->s_user_ns.
When fsopen() is called in a non-init namespace the caller's
namespace is recorded in fs_context->user_ns. If the returned file
descriptor is then passed to a process privileged in init_user_ns,
that process can call fsconfig(fd_fs, FSCONFIG_CMD_CREATE*),
creating a new superblock with sb->s_user_ns set to the namespace
of the process which called fsopen().
This is problematic as only filesystems that raise FS_USERNS_MOUNT
are known to be able to support a non-initial s_user_ns. Others may
suffer security issues, on-disk corruption or outright crash the
kernel. Prevent that by restricting such delegation to filesystems
that allow FS_USERNS_MOUNT.
Note, that this delegation requires a privileged process to
actually create the superblock so either the privileged process is
cooperaing or someone must have tricked a privileged process into
operating on a fscontext file descriptor whose origin it doesn't
know (a stupid idea).
The bug dates back to about 5 years afaict.
Misc:
- Fix hostfs parsing when the mount request comes in via the legacy
mount api.
In the legacy mount api hostfs allows to specify the host directory
mount without any key.
Restore that behavior"
