This patch moves SIGNAL_STOP_DEQUEUED from signal_struct->flags to
task_struct->group_stop, and thus makes it per-thread.
Like SIGNAL_STOP_DEQUEUED, GROUP_STOP_DEQUEUED can be false-positive
after return from get_signal_to_deliver(), this is fine. The only
purpose of this bit is: we can drop ->siglock after __dequeue_signal()
returns the sig_kernel_stop() signal and before we call
do_signal_stop(), in this case we must not miss SIGCONT if it comes in
between.
But, unlike SIGNAL_STOP_DEQUEUED, GROUP_STOP_DEQUEUED can not be
false-positive in do_signal_stop() if multiple threads dequeue the
sig_kernel_stop() signal at the same time.
Consider two threads T1 and T2, SIGTTIN has a hanlder.
- T1 dequeues SIGTSTP and sets SIGNAL_STOP_DEQUEUED, then
it drops ->siglock
- SIGCONT comes and clears SIGNAL_STOP_DEQUEUED, SIGTSTP
should be cancelled.
- T2 dequeues SIGTTIN and sets SIGNAL_STOP_DEQUEUED again.
Since we have a handler we should not stop, T2 returns
to usermode to run the handler.
- T1 continues, calls do_signal_stop() and wrongly starts
the group stop because SIGNAL_STOP_DEQUEUED was restored
in between.
With or without this change:
- we need to do something with ptrace_signal() which can
return SIGSTOP, but this needs another discussion
- SIGSTOP can be lost if it races with the mt exec, will
be fixed later.

Currently, if the task is STOPPED on ptrace attach, it's left alone
and the state is silently changed to TRACED on the next ptrace call.
The behavior breaks the assumption that arch_ptrace_stop() is called
before any task is poked by ptrace and is ugly in that a task
manipulates the state of another task directly.
With GROUP_STOP_PENDING, the transitions between TASK_STOPPED and
TRACED can be made clean. The tracer can use the flag to tell the
tracee to retry stop on attach and detach. On retry, the tracee will
enter the desired state in the correct way. The lower 16bits of
task->group_stop is used to remember the signal number which caused
the last group stop. This is used while retrying for ptrace attach as
the original group_exit_code could have been consumed with wait(2) by
then.
As the real parent may wait(2) and consume the group_exit_code
anytime, the group_exit_code needs to be saved separately so that it
can be used when switching from regular sleep to ptrace_stop(). This
is recorded in the lower 16bits of task->group_stop.
If a task is already stopped and there's no intervening SIGCONT, a
ptrace request immediately following a successful PTRACE_ATTACH should
always succeed even if the tracer doesn't wait(2) for attach
completion; however, with this change, the tracee might still be
TASK_RUNNING trying to enter TASK_TRACED which would cause the
following request to fail with -ESRCH.
This intermediate state is hidden from the ptracer by setting
GROUP_STOP_TRAPPING on attach and making ptrace_check_attach() wait
for it to clear on its signal->wait_chldexit. Completing the
transition or getting killed clears TRAPPING and wakes up the tracer.
Note that the STOPPED -> RUNNING -> TRACED transition is still visible
to other threads which are in the same group as the ptracer and the
reverse transition is visible to all. Please read the comments for
details.
Oleg:
* Spotted a race condition where a task may retry group stop without
proper bookkeeping. Fixed by redoing bookkeeping on retry.
* Spotted that the transition is visible to userland in several
different ways. Most are fixed with GROUP_STOP_TRAPPING. Unhandled
corner case is documented.
* Pointed out not setting GROUP_STOP_SIGMASK on an already stopped
task would result in more consistent behavior.
* Pointed out that calling ptrace_stop() from do_signal_stop() in
TASK_STOPPED can race with group stop start logic and then confuse
the TRAPPING wait in ptrace_check_attach(). ptrace_stop() is now
called with TASK_RUNNING.
* Suggested using signal->wait_chldexit instead of bit wait.
* Spotted a race condition between TRACED transition and clearing of
TRAPPING.

Currently task->signal->group_stop_count is used to decide whether to
stop for group stop. However, if there is a task in the group which
is taking a long time to stop, other tasks which are continued by
ptrace would repeatedly stop for the same group stop until the group
stop is complete.
Conversely, if a ptraced task is in TASK_TRACED state, the debugger
won't get notified of group stops which is inconsistent compared to
the ptraced task in any other state.
This patch introduces GROUP_STOP_PENDING which tracks whether a task
is yet to stop for the group stop in progress. The flag is set when a
group stop starts and cleared when the task stops the first time for
the group stop, and consulted whenever whether the task should
participate in a group stop needs to be determined. Note that now
tasks in TASK_TRACED also participate in group stop.
This results in the following behavior changes.
* For a single group stop, a ptracer would see at most one stop
reported.
* A ptracee in TASK_TRACED now also participates in group stop and the
tracer would get the notification. However, as a ptraced task could
be in TASK_STOPPED state or any ptrace trap could consume group
stop, the notification may still be missing. These will be
addressed with further patches.
* A ptracee may start a group stop while one is still in progress if
the tracer let it continue with stop signal delivery. Group stop
code handles this correctly.
Oleg:
* Spotted that a task might skip signal check even when its
GROUP_STOP_PENDING is set. Fixed by updating
recalc_sigpending_tsk() to check GROUP_STOP_PENDING instead of
group_stop_count.
* Pointed out that task->group_stop should be cleared whenever
task->signal->group_stop_count is cleared. Fixed accordingly.
* Pointed out the behavior inconsistency between TASK_TRACED and
RUNNING and the last behavior change.

task->signal->group_stop_count is used to track the progress of group
stop. It's initialized to the number of tasks which need to stop for
group stop to finish and each stopping or trapping task decrements.
However, each task doesn't keep track of whether it decremented the
counter or not and if woken up before the group stop is complete and
stops again, it can decrement the counter multiple times.
Please consider the following example code.
static void *worker(void *arg)
{
while (1) ;
return NULL;
}
int main(void)
{
pthread_t thread;
pid_t pid;
int i;
pid = fork();
if (!pid) {
for (i = 0; i < 5; i++)
pthread_create(&thread, NULL, worker, NULL);
while (1) ;
return 0;
}
ptrace(PTRACE_ATTACH, pid, NULL, NULL);
while (1) {
waitid(P_PID, pid, NULL, WSTOPPED);
ptrace(PTRACE_SINGLESTEP, pid, NULL, (void *)(long)SIGSTOP);
}
return 0;
}
The child creates five threads and the parent continuously traps the
first thread and whenever the child gets a signal, SIGSTOP is
delivered. If an external process sends SIGSTOP to the child, all
other threads in the process should reliably stop. However, due to
the above bug, the first thread will often end up consuming
group_stop_count multiple times and SIGSTOP often ends up stopping
none or part of the other four threads.
This patch adds a new field task->group_stop which is protected by
siglock and uses GROUP_STOP_CONSUME flag to track which task is still
to consume group_stop_count to fix this bug.
task_clear_group_stop_pending() and task_participate_group_stop() are
added to help manipulating group stop states. As ptrace_stop() now
also uses task_participate_group_stop(), it will set
SIGNAL_STOP_STOPPED if it completes a group stop.
There still are many issues regarding the interaction between group
stop and ptrace. Patches to address them will follow.
- Oleg spotted duplicate GROUP_STOP_CONSUME. Dropped.

This patch adds support for creating a queuing context outside
of the queue itself. This enables us to batch up pieces of IO
before grabbing the block device queue lock and submitting them to
the IO scheduler.
The context is created on the stack of the process and assigned in
the task structure, so that we can auto-unplug it if we hit a schedule
event.
The current queue plugging happens implicitly if IO is submitted to
an empty device, yet callers have to remember to unplug that IO when
they are going to wait for it. This is an ugly API and has caused bugs
in the past. Additionally, it requires hacks in the vm (->sync_page()
callback) to handle that logic. By switching to an explicit plugging
scheme we make the API a lot nicer and can get rid of the ->sync_page()
hack in the vm.

Currently only implemented for fair class tasks.
Add a yield_to_task method() to the fair scheduling class. allowing the
caller of yield_to() to accelerate another thread in it's thread group,
task group.
Implemented via a scheduler hint, using cfs_rq->next to encourage the
target being selected. We can rely on pick_next_entity to keep things
fair, so noone can accelerate a thread that has already used its fair
share of CPU time.
This also means callers should only call yield_to when they really
mean it. Calling it too often can result in the scheduler just
ignoring the hint.

Use the buddy mechanism to implement yield_task_fair. This
allows us to skip onto the next highest priority se at every
level in the CFS tree, unless doing so would introduce gross
unfairness in CPU time distribution.
We order the buddy selection in pick_next_entity to check
yield first, then last, then next. We need next to be able
to override yield, because it is possible for the "next" and
"yield" task to be different processen in the same sub-tree
of the CFS tree. When they are, we need to go into that
sub-tree regardless of the "yield" hint, and pick the correct
entity once we get to the right level.

This patch reworks the task_oncpu_function_call() interface to give a
more usable primitive as well as rework all its users to hopefully be
more obvious as well as remove the races.
While looking at the code I also found a number of races against
perf_event_task_sched_out() which can flip contexts between tasks so

When a task is taken out of the fair class we must ensure the vruntime
is properly normalized because when we put it back in it will assume
to be normalized.
The case that goes wrong is when changing away from the fair class
while sleeping. Sleeping tasks have non-normalized vruntime in order
to make sleeper-fairness work. So treat the switch away from fair as a
wakeup and preserve the relative vruntime.
Also update sysrq-n to call the ->switch_{to,from} methods.

Add khugepaged to relocate fragmented pages into hugepages if new
hugepages become available. (this is indipendent of the defrag logic that
will have to make new hugepages available)
The fundamental reason why khugepaged is unavoidable, is that some memory
can be fragmented and not everything can be relocated. So when a virtual
machine quits and releases gigabytes of hugepages, we want to use those
freely available hugepages to create huge-pmd in the other virtual
machines that may be running on fragmented memory, to maximize the CPU
efficiency at all times. The scan is slow, it takes nearly zero cpu time,
except when it copies data (in which case it means we definitely want to
pay for that cpu time) so it seems a good tradeoff.
In addition to the hugepages being released by other process releasing
memory, we have the strong suspicion that the performance impact of
potentially defragmenting hugepages during or before each page fault could
lead to more performance inconsistency than allocating small pages at
first and having them collapsed into large pages later... if they prove
themselfs to be long lived mappings (khugepaged scan is slow so short
lived mappings have low probability to run into khugepaged if compared to
long lived mappings).

We'd like to be able to oom_score_adj a process up/down as it
enters/leaves the foreground. Currently, it is not possible to oom_adj
down without CAP_SYS_RESOURCE. This patch allows a task to decrease its
oom_score_adj back to the value that a CAP_SYS_RESOURCE thread set it to
or its inherited value at fork. Assuming the thread that has forked it
has oom_score_adj of 0, each process could decrease it back from 0 upon
activation unless a CAP_SYS_RESOURCE thread elevated it to something
higher.
Alternative considered:
* a setuid binary
* a daemon with CAP_SYS_RESOURCE
Since you don't wan't all processes to be able to reduce their oom_adj, a
setuid or daemon implementation would be complex. The alternatives also
have much higher overhead.

There's a long-running regression that proved difficult to fix and
which is hitting certain people and is rather annoying in its effects.
Damien reported that after 74f5187ac8 (sched: Cure load average vs
NO_HZ woes) his load average is unnaturally high, he also noted that
even with that patch reverted the load avgerage numbers are not
correct.
The problem is that the previous patch only solved half the NO_HZ
problem, it addressed the part of going into NO_HZ mode, not of
comming out of NO_HZ mode. This patch implements that missing half.
When comming out of NO_HZ mode there are two important things to take
care of:
- Folding the pending idle delta into the global active count.
- Correctly aging the averages for the idle-duration.
So with this patch the NO_HZ interaction should be complete and
behaviour between CONFIG_NO_HZ=[yn] should be equivalent.
Furthermore, this patch slightly changes the load average computation
by adding a rounding term to the fixed point multiplication.

A recurring complaint from CFS users is that parallel kbuild has
a negative impact on desktop interactivity. This patch
implements an idea from Linus, to automatically create task
groups. Currently, only per session autogroups are implemented,
but the patch leaves the way open for enhancement.
Implementation: each task's signal struct contains an inherited
pointer to a refcounted autogroup struct containing a task group
pointer, the default for all tasks pointing to the
init_task_group. When a task calls setsid(), a new task group
is created, the process is moved into the new task group, and a
reference to the preveious task group is dropped. Child
processes inherit this task group thereafter, and increase it's
refcount. When the last thread of a process exits, the
process's reference is dropped, such that when the last process
referencing an autogroup exits, the autogroup is destroyed.
At runqueue selection time, IFF a task has no cgroup assignment,
its current autogroup is used.
Autogroup bandwidth is controllable via setting it's nice level
through the proc filesystem:
cat /proc/<pid>/autogroup
Displays the task's group and the group's nice level.
echo <nice level> > /proc/<pid>/autogroup
Sets the task group's shares to the weight of nice <level> task.
Setting nice level is rate limited for !admin users due to the
abuse risk of task group locking.
The feature is enabled from boot by default if
CONFIG_SCHED_AUTOGROUP=y is selected, but can be disabled via
the boot option noautogroup, and can also be turned on/off on
the fly via:
echo [01] > /proc/sys/kernel/sched_autogroup_enabled
... which will automatically move tasks to/from the root task group.

Add priority boosting, but only for TINY_PREEMPT_RCU. This is enabled
by the default-off RCU_BOOST kernel parameter. The priority to which to
boost preempted RCU readers is controlled by the RCU_BOOST_PRIO kernel
parameter (defaulting to real-time priority 1) and the time to wait
before boosting the readers blocking a given grace period is controlled
by the RCU_BOOST_DELAY kernel parameter (defaulting to 500 milliseconds).

The perf hardware pmu got initialized at various points in the boot,
some before early_initcall() some after (notably arch_initcall).
The problem is that the NMI lockup detector is ran from early_initcall()
and expects the hardware pmu to be present.
Sanitize this by moving all architecture hardware pmu implementations to
initialize at early_initcall() and move the lockup detector to an explicit
initcall right after that.

By tracking a per-cpu load-avg for each cfs_rq and folding it into a
global task_group load on each tick we can rework tg_shares_up to be
strictly per-cpu.
This should improve cpu-cgroup performance for smp systems
significantly.

While discussing the need for sched_idle_next(), Oleg remarked that
since try_to_wake_up() ensures sleeping tasks will end up running on a
sane cpu, we can do away with migrate_live_tasks().
If we then extend the existing hack of migrating current from
CPU_DYING to migrating the full rq worth of tasks from CPU_DYING, the
need for the sched_idle_next() abomination disappears as well, since
idle will be the only possible thread left after the migration thread
stops.
This greatly simplifies the hot-unplug task migration path, as can be
seen from the resulting code reduction (and about half the new lines
are comments).

Currently we consider a sched domain to be well balanced when the imbalance
is less than the domain's imablance_pct. As the number of cores and threads
are increasing, current values of imbalance_pct (for example 25% for a
NUMA domain) are not enough to detect imbalances like:
a) On a WSM-EP system (two sockets, each having 6 cores and 12 logical threads),
24 cpu-hogging tasks get scheduled as 13 on one socket and 11 on another
socket. Leading to an idle HT cpu.
b) On a hypothetial 2 socket NHM-EX system (each socket having 8 cores and
16 logical threads), 16 cpu-hogging tasks can get scheduled as 9 on one
socket and 7 on another socket. Leaving one core in a socket idle
whereas in another socket we have a core having both its HT siblings busy.
While this issue can be fixed by decreasing the domain's imbalance_pct
(by making it a function of number of logical cpus in the domain), it
can potentially cause more task migrations across sched groups in an
overloaded case.
Fix this by using imbalance_pct only during newly_idle and busy
load balancing. And during idle load balancing, check if there
is an imbalance in number of idle cpu's across the busiest and this
sched_group or if the busiest group has more tasks than its weight that
the idle cpu in this_group can pull.

Oleg Nesterov pointed out we have to prevent multiple-threads-inside-exec
itself and we can reuse ->cred_guard_mutex for it. Yes, concurrent
execve() has no worth.
