Pull tracing fix from Steven Rostedt:
"Fix trace_check_vprintf() for %.*s
The sanity check of all strings being read from the ring buffer to
make sure they are in safe memory space did not account for the %.*s
notation having another parameter to process (the length).
Add that to the check"
* tag 'trace-v5.13-rc1' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/rostedt/linux-trace:
tracing: Handle %.*s in trace_check_vprintf()
If a trace event uses the %*.s notation, the trace_check_vprintf() will
fail and will warn about a bad processing of strings, because it does not
take into account the length field when processing the star (*) part.
Have it handle this case as well.

When the tick dependency of a task is updated, we want it to aknowledge
the new state and restart the tick if needed. If the task is not
running, we don't need to kick it because it will observe the new
dependency upon scheduling in. But if the task is running, we may need
to send an IPI to it so that it gets notified.
Unfortunately we don't have the means to check if a task is running
in a race free way. Checking p->on_cpu in a synchronized way against
p->tick_dep_mask would imply adding a full barrier between
prepare_task_switch() and tick_nohz_task_switch(), which we want to
avoid in this fast-path.
Therefore we blindly fire an IPI to the task's CPU.
Meanwhile we can check if the task is queued on the CPU rq because
p->on_rq is always set to TASK_ON_RQ_QUEUED _before_ schedule() and its
full barrier that precedes tick_nohz_task_switch(). And if the task is
queued on a nohz_full CPU, it also has fair chances to be running as the
isolation constraints prescribe running single tasks on full dynticks
CPUs.
So use this as a trick to check if we can spare an IPI toward a
non-running task.
NOTE: For the ordering to be correct, it is assumed that we never
deactivate a task while it is running, the only exception being the task
deactivating itself while scheduling out.

When adding a tick dependency to a task, its necessary to
wake up the CPU where the task resides to reevaluate tick
dependencies on that CPU.
However the current code wakes up all nohz_full CPUs, which
is unnecessary.
Switch to waking up a single CPU, by using ordering of writes
to task->cpu and task->tick_dep_mask.

The idle_exittime field of tick_sched is used to record the time when
the idle state was left. but currently the idle_exittime is updated in
the function tick_nohz_restart_sched_tick(), which is not always in idle
state when nohz_full is configured:
tick_irq_exit
tick_nohz_irq_exit
tick_nohz_full_update_tick
tick_nohz_restart_sched_tick
ts->idle_exittime = now;
It's thus overwritten by mistake on nohz_full tick restart. Move the
update to the appropriate idle exit path instead.

In nohz_full mode, switching from idle to a task will unconditionally
issue a tick restart. If the task is alone in the runqueue or is the
highest priority, the tick will fire once then eventually stop. But that
alone is still undesired noise.
Therefore, only restart the tick on idle exit when it's strictly
necessary.

We have a mismatch between RCU and isolation -- in relation to what is
considered the maximum valid CPU number.
This matters because nohz_full= and rcu_nocbs= are joined at the hip; in
fact the former will enforce the latter. So we don't want a CPU mask to
be valid for one and denied for the other.
The difference 1st appeared as of v4.15; further details are below.
As it is confusing to anyone who isn't looking at the code regularly, a
reminder is in order; three values exist here:
CONFIG_NR_CPUS - compiled in maximum cap on number of CPUs supported.
nr_cpu_ids - possible # of CPUs (typically reflects what ACPI says)
cpus_present - actual number of present/detected/installed CPUs.
For this example, I'll refer to NR_CPUS=64 from "make defconfig" and
nr_cpu_ids=6 for ACPI reporting on a board that could run a six core,
and present=4 for a quad that is physically in the socket. From dmesg:
smpboot: Allowing 6 CPUs, 2 hotplug CPUs
setup_percpu: NR_CPUS:64 nr_cpumask_bits:64 nr_cpu_ids:6 nr_node_ids:1
rcu: RCU restricting CPUs from NR_CPUS=64 to nr_cpu_ids=6.
smp: Brought up 1 node, 4 CPUs
And from userspace, see:
paul@trash:/sys/devices/system/cpu$ cat present
0-3
paul@trash:/sys/devices/system/cpu$ cat possible
0-5
paul@trash:/sys/devices/system/cpu$ cat kernel_max
63
Everything is fine if we boot 5x5 for rcu/nohz:
Command line: BOOT_IMAGE=/boot/bzImage nohz_full=2-5 rcu_nocbs=2-5 root=/dev/sda1 ro
NO_HZ: Full dynticks CPUs: 2-5.
rcu: Offload RCU callbacks from CPUs: 2-5.
..even though there is no CPU 4 or 5. Both RCU and nohz_full are OK.
Now we push that > 6 but less than NR_CPU and with 15x15 we get:
Command line: BOOT_IMAGE=/boot/bzImage rcu_nocbs=2-15 nohz_full=2-15 root=/dev/sda1 ro
rcu: Note: kernel parameter 'rcu_nocbs=', 'nohz_full', or 'isolcpus=' contains nonexistent CPUs.
rcu: Offload RCU callbacks from CPUs: 2-5.
These are both functionally equivalent, as we are only changing flags on
phantom CPUs that don't exist, but note the kernel interpretation changes.
And worse, it only changes for one of the two - which is the problem.
RCU doesn't care if you want to restrict the flags on phantom CPUs but
clearly nohz_full does after this change from v4.15.
edb9382175: ("sched/isolation: Move isolcpus= handling to the housekeeping code")
- if (cpulist_parse(str, non_housekeeping_mask) < 0) {
- pr_warn("Housekeeping: Incorrect nohz_full cpumask\n");
+ err = cpulist_parse(str, non_housekeeping_mask);
+ if (err < 0 || cpumask_last(non_housekeeping_mask) >= nr_cpu_ids) {
+ pr_warn("Housekeeping: nohz_full= or isolcpus= incorrect CPU range\n");
To be clear, the sanity check on "possible" (nr_cpu_ids) is new here.
The goal was reasonable ; not wanting housekeeping to land on a
not-possible CPU, but note two things:
1) this is an exclusion list, not an inclusion list; we are tracking
non_housekeeping CPUs; not ones who are explicitly assigned housekeeping
2) we went one further in 9219565aa8 ("sched/isolation: Require a present CPU in housekeeping mask")
- ensuring that housekeeping was sanity checking against present and not just possible CPUs.
To be clear, this means the check added in v4.15 is doubly redundant.
And more importantly, overly strict/restrictive.
We care now, because the bitmap boot arg parsing now knows that a value
of "N" is NR_CPUS; the size of the bitmap, but the bitmap code doesn't
know anything about the subtleties of our max/possible/present CPU
specifics as outlined above.
So drop the check added in v4.15 (edb9382175) and make RCU and
nohz_full both in alignment again on NR_CPUS so "N" works for both,
and then they can fall back to nr_cpu_ids internally just as before.
Command line: BOOT_IMAGE=/boot/bzImage nohz_full=2-N rcu_nocbs=2-N root=/dev/sda1 ro
NO_HZ: Full dynticks CPUs: 2-5.
rcu: Offload RCU callbacks from CPUs: 2-5.
As shown above, with this change, RCU and nohz_full are in sync, even
with the use of the "N" placeholder. Same result is achieved with "15".

Suppose we have 2 threads, the group-leader L and a sub-theread T,
both parked in ptrace_stop(). Debugger tries to resume both threads
and does
ptrace(PTRACE_CONT, T);
ptrace(PTRACE_CONT, L);
If the sub-thread T execs in between, the 2nd PTRACE_CONT doesn not
resume the old leader L, it resumes the post-exec thread T which was
actually now stopped in PTHREAD_EVENT_EXEC. In this case the
PTHREAD_EVENT_EXEC event is lost, and the tracer can't know that the
tracee changed its pid.
This patch makes ptrace() fail in this case until debugger does wait()
and consumes PTHREAD_EVENT_EXEC which reports old_pid. This affects all
ptrace requests except the "asynchronous" PTRACE_INTERRUPT/KILL.
The patch doesn't add the new PTRACE_ option to not complicate the API,
and I _hope_ this won't cause any noticeable regression:
- If debugger uses PTRACE_O_TRACEEXEC and the thread did an exec
and the tracer does a ptrace request without having consumed
the exec event, it's 100% sure that the thread the ptracer
thinks it is targeting does not exist anymore, or isn't the
same as the one it thinks it is targeting.
- To some degree this patch adds nothing new. In the scenario
above ptrace(L) can fail with -ESRCH if it is called after the
execing sub-thread wakes the leader up and before it "steals"
the leader's pid.

As pointed out by commit
de9b8f5dcb ("sched: Fix crash trying to dequeue/enqueue the idle thread")
init_idle() can and will be invoked more than once on the same idle
task. At boot time, it is invoked for the boot CPU thread by
sched_init(). Then smp_init() creates the threads for all the secondary
CPUs and invokes init_idle() on them.
As the hotplug machinery brings the secondaries to life, it will issue
calls to idle_thread_get(), which itself invokes init_idle() yet again.
In this case it's invoked twice more per secondary: at _cpu_up(), and at
bringup_cpu().
Given smp_init() already initializes the idle tasks for all *possible*
CPUs, no further initialization should be required. Now, removing
init_idle() from idle_thread_get() exposes some interesting expectations
with regards to the idle task's preempt_count: the secondary startup always
issues a preempt_disable(), requiring some reset of the preempt count to 0
between hot-unplug and hotplug, which is currently served by
idle_thread_get() -> idle_init().
Given the idle task is supposed to have preemption disabled once and never
see it re-enabled, it seems that what we actually want is to initialize its
preempt_count to PREEMPT_DISABLED and leave it there. Do that, and remove
init_idle() from idle_thread_get().
Secondary startups were patched via coccinelle:

This patch provides support for setting and copying core scheduling
'task cookies' between threads (PID), processes (TGID), and process
groups (PGID).
The value of core scheduling isn't that tasks don't share a core,
'nosmt' can do that. The value lies in exploiting all the sharing
opportunities that exist to recover possible lost performance and that
requires a degree of flexibility in the API.
From a security perspective (and there are others), the thread,
process and process group distinction is an existent hierarchal
categorization of tasks that reflects many of the security concerns
about 'data sharing'. For example, protecting against cache-snooping
by a thread that can just read the memory directly isn't all that
useful.
With this in mind, subcommands to CREATE/SHARE (TO/FROM) provide a
mechanism to create and share cookies. CREATE/SHARE_TO specify a
target pid with enum pidtype used to specify the scope of the targeted
tasks. For example, PIDTYPE_TGID will share the cookie with the
process and all of it's threads as typically desired in a security
scenario.
API:
prctl(PR_SCHED_CORE, PR_SCHED_CORE_GET, tgtpid, pidtype, &cookie)
prctl(PR_SCHED_CORE, PR_SCHED_CORE_CREATE, tgtpid, pidtype, NULL)
prctl(PR_SCHED_CORE, PR_SCHED_CORE_SHARE_TO, tgtpid, pidtype, NULL)
prctl(PR_SCHED_CORE, PR_SCHED_CORE_SHARE_FROM, srcpid, pidtype, NULL)
where 'tgtpid/srcpid == 0' implies the current process and pidtype is
kernel enum pid_type {PIDTYPE_PID, PIDTYPE_TGID, PIDTYPE_PGID, ...}.
For return values, EINVAL, ENOMEM are what they say. ESRCH means the
tgtpid/srcpid was not found. EPERM indicates lack of PTRACE permission
access to tgtpid/srcpid. ENODEV indicates your machines lacks SMT.

During force-idle, we end up doing cross-cpu comparison of vruntimes
during pick_next_task. If we simply compare (vruntime-min_vruntime)
across CPUs, and if the CPUs only have 1 task each, we will always
end up comparing 0 with 0 and pick just one of the tasks all the time.
This starves the task that was not picked. To fix this, take a snapshot
of the min_vruntime when entering force idle and use it for comparison.
This min_vruntime snapshot will only be used for cross-CPU vruntime
comparison, and nothing else.
A note about the min_vruntime snapshot and force idling:
During selection:
When we're not fi, we need to update snapshot.
when we're fi and we were not fi, we must update snapshot.
When we're fi and we were already fi, we must not update snapshot.
Which gives:
fib fi update
0 0 1
0 1 1
1 0 1
1 1 0
Where:
fi: force-idled now
fib: force-idled before
So the min_vruntime snapshot needs to be updated when: !(fib && fi).
Also, the cfs_prio_less() function needs to be aware of whether the
core is in force idle or not, since it will be use this information to
know whether to advance a cfs_rq's min_vruntime_fi in the hierarchy.
So pass this information along via pick_task() -> prio_less().

The rationale is as follows. In the core-wide pick logic, even if
need_sync == false, we need to go look at other CPUs (non-local CPUs)
to see if they could be running RT.
Say the RQs in a particular core look like this:
Let CFS1 and CFS2 be 2 tagged CFS tags.
Let RT1 be an untagged RT task.
rq0 rq1
CFS1 (tagged) RT1 (no tag)
CFS2 (tagged)
Say schedule() runs on rq0. Now, it will enter the above loop and
pick_task(RT) will return NULL for 'p'. It will enter the above if()
block and see that need_sync == false and will skip RT entirely.
The end result of the selection will be (say prio(CFS1) > prio(CFS2)):
rq0 rq1
CFS1 IDLE
When it should have selected:
rq0 rq1
IDLE RT

Introduce task_struct::core_cookie as an opaque identifier for core
scheduling. When enabled; core scheduling will only allow matching
task to be on the core; where idle matches everything.
When task_struct::core_cookie is set (and core scheduling is enabled)
these tasks are indexed in a second RB-tree, first on cookie value
then on scheduling function, such that matching task selection always
finds the most elegible match.
NOTE: *shudder* at the overhead...
NOTE: *sigh*, a 3rd copy of the scheduling function; the alternative
is per class tracking of cookies and that just duplicates a lot of
stuff for no raisin (the 2nd copy lives in the rt-mutex PI code).

When switching on core-sched, CPUs need to agree which lock to use for
their RQ.
The new rule will be that rq->core_enabled will be toggled while
holding all rq->__locks that belong to a core. This means we need to
double check the rq->core_enabled value after each lock acquire and
retry if it changed.
This also has implications for those sites that take multiple RQ
locks, they need to be careful that the second lock doesn't end up
being the first lock.
Verify the lock pointer after acquiring the first lock, because if
they're on the same core, holding any of the rq->__lock instances will
pin the core state.
While there, change the rq->__lock order to CPU number, instead of rq
address, this greatly simplifies the next patch.

The situation around sched_info is somewhat complicated, it is used by
sched_stats and delayacct and, indirectly, kvm.
If SCHEDSTATS=Y (but disabled by default) sched_info_on() is
unconditionally true -- this is the case for all distro kernel configs
I checked.
If for some reason SCHEDSTATS=N, but TASK_DELAY_ACCT=Y, then
sched_info_on() can return false when delayacct is disabled,
presumably because there would be no other users left; except kvm is.
Instead of complicating matters further by accurately accounting
sched_stat and kvm state, simply unconditionally enable when
SCHED_INFO=Y, matching the common distro case.

find_energy_efficient_cpu() (feec()) searches the best energy CPU
to place a task on. To do so, compute_energy() estimates the energy
impact of placing the task on a CPU, based on CPU and task utilization
signals.
Utilization signals can be concurrently updated while evaluating a
performance domain (pd). In some cases, this leads to having a
'negative delta', i.e. placing the task in the pd is seen as an
energy gain. Thus, any further energy comparison is biased.
In case of a 'negative delta', return prev_cpu since:
1. a 'negative delta' happens in less than 0.5% of feec() calls,
on a Juno with 6 CPUs (4 little, 2 big)
2. it is unlikely to have two consecutive 'negative delta' for
a task, so if the first call fails, feec() will correctly
place the task in the next feec() call
3. EAS current behavior tends to select prev_cpu if the task
doesn't raise the OPP of its current pd. prev_cpu is EAS's
generic decision
4. prev_cpu should be preferred to returning an error code.
In the latter case, select_idle_sibling() would do the placement,
selecting a big (and not energy efficient) CPU. As 3., the task

find_energy_efficient_cpu() searches the best energy CPU
to place a task on. To do so, the energy of each performance domain
(pd) is computed w/ and w/o the task placed on it.
The energy of a pd w/o the task (base_energy_pd) is computed prior
knowing whether a CPU is available in the pd.
Move the base_energy_pd computation after looping through the CPUs
of a pd and only compute it if at least one CPU is available.

The try_to_wake_up function has an optimization where it can queue
a task for wakeup on its previous CPU, if the task is still in the
middle of going to sleep inside schedule().
Once schedule() re-enables IRQs, the task will be woken up with an
IPI, and placed back on the runqueue.
If we have such a wakeup pending, there is no need to search other
CPUs for runnable tasks. Just skip (or bail out early from) newidle
balancing, and run the just woken up task.
For a memcache like workload test, this reduces total CPU use by
about 2%, proportionally split between user and system time,
and p99 and p95 application response time by 10% on average.
The schedstats run_delay number shows a similar improvement.
