RT tasks by default run at the highest capacity/performance level. When
uclamp is selected this default behavior is retained by enforcing the
requested uclamp.min (p->uclamp_req[UCLAMP_MIN]) of the RT tasks to be
uclamp_none(UCLAMP_MAX), which is SCHED_CAPACITY_SCALE; the maximum
value.
This is also referred to as 'the default boost value of RT tasks'.
See commit 1a00d999971c ("sched/uclamp: Set default clamps for RT tasks").
On battery powered devices, it is desired to control this default
(currently hardcoded) behavior at runtime to reduce energy consumed by
RT tasks.
For example, a mobile device manufacturer where big.LITTLE architecture
is dominant, the performance of the little cores varies across SoCs, and
on high end ones the big cores could be too power hungry.
Given the diversity of SoCs, the new knob allows manufactures to tune
the best performance/power for RT tasks for the particular hardware they
run on.
They could opt to further tune the value when the user selects
a different power saving mode or when the device is actively charging.
The runtime aspect of it further helps in creating a single kernel image
that can be run on multiple devices that require different tuning.
Keep in mind that a lot of RT tasks in the system are created by the
kernel. On Android for instance I can see over 50 RT tasks, only
a handful of which created by the Android framework.
To control the default behavior globally by system admins and device
integrator, introduce the new sysctl_sched_uclamp_util_min_rt_default
to change the default boost value of the RT tasks.
I anticipate this to be mostly in the form of modifying the init script
of a particular device.
To avoid polluting the fast path with unnecessary code, the approach
taken is to synchronously do the update by traversing all the existing
tasks in the system. This could race with a concurrent fork(), which is
dealt with by introducing sched_post_fork() function which will ensure
the racy fork will get the right update applied.
Tested on Juno-r2 in combination with the RT capacity awareness [1].
By default an RT task will go to the highest capacity CPU and run at the
maximum frequency, which is particularly energy inefficient on high end
mobile devices because the biggest core[s] are 'huge' and power hungry.
With this patch the RT task can be controlled to run anywhere by
default, and doesn't cause the frequency to be maximum all the time.
Yet any task that really needs to be boosted can easily escape this
default behavior by modifying its requested uclamp.min value
(p->uclamp_req[UCLAMP_MIN]) via sched_setattr() syscall.

Currently all IRQ-tracking state is in task_struct, this means that
task_struct needs to be defined before we use it.
Especially for lockdep_assert_irq*() this can lead to header-hell.
Move the hardirq state into per-cpu variables to avoid the task_struct
dependency.

Add a bare tracepoint trace_sched_update_nr_running_tp which tracks
->nr_running CPU's rq. This is used to accurately trace this data and
provide a visualization of scheduler imbalances in, for example, the
form of a heat map. The tracepoint is accessed by loading an external
kernel module. An example module (forked from Qais' module and including
the pelt related tracepoints) can be found at:
https://github.com/auldp/tracepoints-helpers.git
A script to turn the trace-cmd report output into a heatmap plot can be
found at:
https://github.com/jirvoz/plot-nr-running
The tracepoints are added to add_nr_running() and sub_nr_running() which
are in kernel/sched/sched.h. In order to avoid CREATE_TRACE_POINTS in
the header a wrapper call is used and the trace/events/sched.h include
is moved before sched.h in kernel/sched/core.

The recent commit:
c6e7bd7afaeb ("sched/core: Optimize ttwu() spinning on p->on_cpu")
moved these lines in ttwu():
p->sched_contributes_to_load = !!task_contributes_to_load(p);
p->state = TASK_WAKING;
up before:
smp_cond_load_acquire(&p->on_cpu, !VAL);
into the 'p->on_rq == 0' block, with the thinking that once we hit
schedule() the current task cannot change it's ->state anymore. And
while this is true, it is both incorrect and flawed.
It is incorrect in that we need at least an ACQUIRE on 'p->on_rq == 0'
to avoid weak hardware from re-ordering things for us. This can fairly
easily be achieved by relying on the control-dependency already in
place.
The second problem, which makes the flaw in the original argument, is
that while schedule() will not change prev->state, it will read it a
number of times (arguably too many times since it's marked volatile).
The previous condition 'p->on_cpu == 0' was sufficient because that
indicates schedule() has completed, and will no longer read
prev->state. So now the trick is to make this same true for the (much)
earlier 'prev->on_rq == 0' case.
Furthermore, in order to make the ordering stick, the 'prev->on_rq = 0'
assignment needs to he a RELEASE, but adding additional ordering to
schedule() is an unwelcome proposition at the best of times, doubly so
for mere accounting.
Luckily we can push the prev->state load up before rq->lock, with the
only caveat that we then have to re-read the state after. However, we
know that if it changed, we no longer have to worry about the blocking
path. This gives us the required ordering, if we block, we did the
prev->state load before an (effective) smp_mb() and the p->on_rq store
needs not change.
With this we end up with the effective ordering:
LOAD p->state LOAD-ACQUIRE p->on_rq == 0
MB
STORE p->on_rq, 0 STORE p->state, TASK_WAKING
which ensures the TASK_WAKING store happens after the prev->state
load, and all is well again.

SCHED_FIFO (or any static priority scheduler) is a broken scheduler
model; it is fundamentally incapable of resource management, the one
thing an OS is actually supposed to do.
It is impossible to compose static priority workloads. One cannot take
two well designed and functional static priority workloads and mash
them together and still expect them to work.
Therefore it doesn't make sense to expose the priority field; the
kernel is fundamentally incapable of setting a sensible value, it
needs systems knowledge that it doesn't have.
Take away sched_setschedule() / sched_setattr() from modules and
replace them with:
- sched_set_fifo(p); create a FIFO task (at prio 50)
- sched_set_fifo_low(p); create a task higher than NORMAL,
which ends up being a FIFO task at prio 1.
- sched_set_normal(p, nice); (re)set the task to normal
This stops the proliferation of randomly chosen, and irrelevant, FIFO
priorities that dont't really mean anything anyway.
The system administrator/integrator, whoever has insight into the
actual system design and requirements (userspace) can set-up
appropriate priorities if and when needed.

An interesting thing happened when a guest Linux instance took a machine
check. The VMM unmapped the bad page from guest physical space and
passed the machine check to the guest.
Linux took all the normal actions to offline the page from the process
that was using it. But then guest Linux crashed because it said there
was a second machine check inside the kernel with this stack trace:
do_memory_failure
set_mce_nospec
set_memory_uc
_set_memory_uc
change_page_attr_set_clr
cpa_flush
clflush_cache_range_opt
This was odd, because a CLFLUSH instruction shouldn't raise a machine
check (it isn't consuming the data). Further investigation showed that
the VMM had passed in another machine check because is appeared that the
guest was accessing the bad page.
Fix is to check the scope of the poison by checking the MCi_MISC register.
If the entire page is affected, then unmap the page. If only part of the
page is affected, then mark the page as uncacheable.
This assumes that VMMs will do the logical thing and pass in the "whole
page scope" via the MCi_MISC register (since they unmapped the entire
page).

This change extends kcov remote coverage support to allow collecting
coverage from soft interrupts in addition to kernel background threads.
To collect coverage from code that is executed in softirq context, a part
of that code has to be annotated with kcov_remote_start/stop() in a
similar way as how it is done for global kernel background threads. Then
the handle used for the annotations has to be passed to the
KCOV_REMOTE_ENABLE ioctl.
Internally this patch adjusts the __sanitizer_cov_trace_pc() compiler
inserted callback to not bail out when called from softirq context.
kcov_remote_start/stop() are updated to save/restore the current per task
kcov state in a per-cpu area (in case the softirq came when the kernel was
already collecting coverage in task context). Coverage from softirqs is
collected into pre-allocated per-cpu areas, whose size is controlled by
the new CONFIG_KCOV_IRQ_AREA_SIZE.

PF_LESS_THROTTLE exists for loop-back nfsd (and a similar need in the
loop block driver and callers of prctl(PR_SET_IO_FLUSHER)), where a
daemon needs to write to one bdi (the final bdi) in order to free up
writes queued to another bdi (the client bdi).
The daemon sets PF_LESS_THROTTLE and gets a larger allowance of dirty
pages, so that it can still dirty pages after other processses have been
throttled. The purpose of this is to avoid deadlock that happen when
the PF_LESS_THROTTLE process must write for any dirty pages to be freed,
but it is being thottled and cannot write.
This approach was designed when all threads were blocked equally,
independently on which device they were writing to, or how fast it was.
Since that time the writeback algorithm has changed substantially with
different threads getting different allowances based on non-trivial
heuristics. This means the simple "add 25%" heuristic is no longer
reliable.
The important issue is not that the daemon needs a *larger* dirty page
allowance, but that it needs a *private* dirty page allowance, so that
dirty pages for the "client" bdi that it is helping to clear (the bdi
for an NFS filesystem or loop block device etc) do not affect the
throttling of the daemon writing to the "final" bdi.
This patch changes the heuristic so that the task is not throttled when
the bdi it is writing to has a dirty page count below below (or equal
to) the free-run threshold for that bdi. This ensures it will always be
able to have some pages in flight, and so will not deadlock.
In a steady-state, it is expected that PF_LOCAL_THROTTLE tasks might
still be throttled by global threshold, but that is acceptable as it is
only the deadlock state that is interesting for this flag.
This approach of "only throttle when target bdi is busy" is consistent
with the other use of PF_LESS_THROTTLE in current_may_throttle(), were
it causes attention to be focussed only on the target bdi.
So this patch
- renames PF_LESS_THROTTLE to PF_LOCAL_THROTTLE,
- removes the 25% bonus that that flag gives, and
- If PF_LOCAL_THROTTLE is set, don't delay at all unless the
global and the local free-run thresholds are exceeded.
Note that previously realtime threads were treated the same as
PF_LESS_THROTTLE threads. This patch does *not* change the behvaiour
for real-time threads, so it is now different from the behaviour of nfsd
and loop tasks. I don't know what is wanted for realtime.

The recent commit: 90b5363acd47 ("sched: Clean up scheduler_ipi()")
got smp_call_function_single_async() subtly wrong. Even though it will
return -EBUSY when trying to re-use a csd, that condition is not
atomic and still requires external serialization.
The change in ttwu_queue_remote() got this wrong.
While on first reading ttwu_queue_remote() has an atomic test-and-set
that appears to serialize the use, the matching 'release' is not in
the right place to actually guarantee this serialization.
The actual race is vs the sched_ttwu_pending() call in the idle loop;
that can run the wakeup-list without consuming the CSD.
Instead of trying to chain the lists, merge them.

This commit splits ->trc_reader_need_end by using the rcu_special union.
This change permits readers to check to see if a memory barrier is
required without any added overhead in the common case where no such
barrier is required. This commit also adds the read-side checking.
Later commits will add the machinery to properly set the new

This commit also makes rcu_read_unlock_trace_special() tolerate nested

Because RCU does not watch exception early-entry/late-exit, idle-loop,
or CPU-hotplug execution, protection of tracing and BPF operations is
needlessly complicated. This commit therefore adds a variant of
Tasks RCU that:
o Has explicit read-side markers to allow finite grace periods in
the face of in-kernel loops for PREEMPT=n builds. These markers
are rcu_read_lock_trace() and rcu_read_unlock_trace().
o Protects code in the idle loop, exception entry/exit, and
CPU-hotplug code paths. In this respect, RCU-tasks trace is
similar to SRCU, but with lighter-weight readers.
o Avoids expensive read-side instruction, having overhead similar
to that of Preemptible RCU.
There are of course downsides:
o The grace-period code can send IPIs to CPUs, even when those
CPUs are in the idle loop or in nohz_full userspace. This is
mitigated by later commits.
o It is necessary to scan the full tasklist, much as for Tasks RCU.
o There is a single callback queue guarded by a single lock,
again, much as for Tasks RCU. However, those early use cases
that request multiple grace periods in quick succession are
expected to do so from a single task, which makes the single
lock almost irrelevant. If needed, multiple callback queues
can be provided using any number of schemes.
Perhaps most important, this variant of RCU does not affect the vanilla
flavors, rcu_preempt and rcu_sched. The fact that RCU Tasks Trace
readers can operate from idle, offline, and exception entry/exit in no
way enables rcu_preempt and rcu_sched readers to do so.
The memory ordering was outlined here:

The ->rcu_read_unlock_special.b.deferred_qs field is set to true in
rcu_read_unlock_special() but never set to false. This is not
particularly useful, so this commit removes this field.
The only possible justification for this field is to ease debugging
of RCU deferred quiscent states, but the combination of the other
->rcu_read_unlock_special fields plus ->rcu_blocked_node and of course
->rcu_read_lock_nesting should cover debugging needs. And if this last
proves incorrect, this patch can always be reverted, along with the

Pull exec/proc updates from Eric Biederman:
"This contains two significant pieces of work: the work to sort out
proc_flush_task, and the work to solve a deadlock between strace and
exec.
Fixing proc_flush_task so that it no longer requires a persistent
mount makes improvements to proc possible. The removal of the
persistent mount solves an old regression that that caused the hidepid
mount option to only work on remount not on mount. The regression was
found and reported by the Android folks. This further allows Alexey
Gladkov's work making proc mount options specific to an individual
mount of proc to move forward.
The work on exec starts solving a long standing issue with exec that
it takes mutexes of blocking userspace applications, which makes exec
extremely deadlock prone. For the moment this adds a second mutex with
a narrower scope that handles all of the easy cases. Which makes the
tricky cases easy to spot. With a little luck the code to solve those
deadlocks will be ready by next merge window"

Replace the 32bit exec_id with a 64bit exec_id to make it impossible
to wrap the exec_id counter. With care an attacker can cause exec_id
wrap and send arbitrary signals to a newly exec'd parent. This
bypasses the signal sending checks if the parent changes their
credentials during exec.
The severity of this problem can been seen that in my limited testing
of a 32bit exec_id it can take as little as 19s to exec 65536 times.
Which means that it can take as little as 14 days to wrap a 32bit
exec_id. Adam Zabrocki has succeeded wrapping the self_exe_id in 7
days. Even my slower timing is in the uptime of a typical server.
Which means self_exec_id is simply a speed bump today, and if exec
gets noticably faster self_exec_id won't even be a speed bump.
Extending self_exec_id to 64bits introduces a problem on 32bit
architectures where reading self_exec_id is no longer atomic and can
take two read instructions. Which means that is is possible to hit
a window where the read value of exec_id does not match the written
value. So with very lucky timing after this change this still
remains expoiltable.
I have updated the update of exec_id on exec to use WRITE_ONCE
and the read of exec_id in do_notify_parent to use READ_ONCE
to make it clear that there is no locking between these two
locations.

- Implement frequency invariant scheduler accounting on (some) x86

frequency average at ~tick boundaries. The CPU provides this data
via the APERF/MPERF MSRs. This hopefully makes our capacity
estimates more precise and keeps tasks on the same CPU better even
if it might seem overloaded at a lower momentary frequency. (As
usual, turbo mode is a complication that we resolve by observing
the maximum frequency and renormalizing to it.)

Set current->irq_config = 1 for hrtimers which are not marked to expire in
hard interrupt context during hrtimer_init(). These timers will expire in
softirq context on PREEMPT_RT.
Setting this allows lockdep to differentiate these timers. If a timer is
marked to expire in hard interrupt context then the timer callback is not
supposed to acquire a regular spinlock instead of a raw_spinlock in the
expiry callback.

Extend lockdep to validate lock wait-type context.
The current wait-types are:
LD_WAIT_FREE, /* wait free, rcu etc.. */
LD_WAIT_SPIN, /* spin loops, raw_spinlock_t etc.. */
LD_WAIT_CONFIG, /* CONFIG_PREEMPT_LOCK, spinlock_t etc.. */
LD_WAIT_SLEEP, /* sleeping locks, mutex_t etc.. */
Where lockdep validates that the current lock (the one being acquired)
fits in the current wait-context (as generated by the held stack).
This ensures that there is no attempt to acquire mutexes while holding
spinlocks, to acquire spinlocks while holding raw_spinlocks and so on. In
other words, its a more fancy might_sleep().
Obviously RCU made the entire ordeal more complex than a simple single
value test because RCU can be acquired in (pretty much) any context and
while it presents a context to nested locks it is not the same as it
got acquired in.
Therefore its necessary to split the wait_type into two values, one
representing the acquire (outer) and one representing the nested context
(inner). For most 'normal' locks these two are the same.
[ To make static initialization easier we have the rule that:
.outer == INV means .outer == .inner; because INV == 0. ]
It further means that its required to find the minimal .inner of the held
stack to compare against the outer of the new lock; because while 'normal'
RCU presents a CONFIG type to nested locks, if it is taken while already
holding a SPIN type it obviously doesn't relax the rules.
Below is an example output generated by the trivial test code:
raw_spin_lock(&foo);
spin_lock(&bar);
spin_unlock(&bar);
raw_spin_unlock(&foo);
[ BUG: Invalid wait context ]
-----------------------------
swapper/0/1 is trying to lock:
ffffc90000013f20 (&bar){....}-{3:3}, at: kernel_init+0xdb/0x187
other info that might help us debug this:
1 lock held by swapper/0/1:
#0: ffffc90000013ee0 (&foo){+.+.}-{2:2}, at: kernel_init+0xd1/0x187
The way to read it is to look at the new -{n,m} part in the lock
description; -{3:3} for the attempted lock, and try and match that up to
the held locks, which in this case is the one: -{2,2}.
This tells that the acquiring lock requires a more relaxed environment than
presented by the lock stack.
Currently only the normal locks and RCU are converted, the rest of the
lockdep users defaults to .inner = INV which is ignored. More conversions
can be done when desired.
The check for spinlock_t nesting is not enabled by default. It's a separate
config option for now as there are known problems which are currently
addressed. The config option allows to identify these problems and to
verify that the solutions found are indeed solving them.
The config switch will be removed and the checks will permanently enabled
once the vast majority of issues has been addressed.

The task->flags is a 32-bits flag, in which 31 bits have already been

Currently there're still enough spaces in the bit-field section of

task_struct instead.

Now that runnable_load_avg has been removed, we can replace it by a new
signal that will highlight the runnable pressure on a cfs_rq. This signal
track the waiting time of tasks on rq and can help to better define the
state of rqs.
At now, only util_avg is used to define the state of a rq:
A rq with more that around 80% of utilization and more than 1 tasks is
considered as overloaded.
But the util_avg signal of a rq can become temporaly low after that a task
migrated onto another rq which can bias the classification of the rq.
When tasks compete for the same rq, their runnable average signal will be
higher than util_avg as it will include the waiting time and we can use
this signal to better classify cfs_rqs.
The new runnable_avg will track the runnable time of a task which simply
adds the waiting time to the running time. The runnable _avg of cfs_rq
will be the /Sum of se's runnable_avg and the runnable_avg of group entity
will follow the one of the rq similarly to util_avg.

Pull thread management updates from Christian Brauner:
"Sargun Dhillon over the last cycle has worked on the pidfd_getfd()
syscall.
This syscall allows for the retrieval of file descriptors of a process
based on its pidfd. A task needs to have ptrace_may_access()
permissions with PTRACE_MODE_ATTACH_REALCREDS (suggested by Oleg and
Andy) on the target.
One of the main use-cases is in combination with seccomp's user
notification feature. As a reminder, seccomp's user notification
feature was made available in v5.0. It allows a task to retrieve a
file descriptor for its seccomp filter. The file descriptor is usually
handed of to a more privileged supervising process. The supervisor can
then listen for syscall events caught by the seccomp filter of the
supervisee and perform actions in lieu of the supervisee, usually
emulating syscalls. pidfd_getfd() is needed to expand its uses.
There are currently two major users that wait on pidfd_getfd() and one
future user:
- Netflix, Sargun said, is working on a service mesh where users
should be able to connect to a dns-based VIP. When a user connects
to e.g. 1.2.3.4:80 that runs e.g. service "foo" they will be
redirected to an envoy process. This service mesh uses seccomp user
notifications and pidfd to intercept all connect calls and instead
of connecting them to 1.2.3.4:80 connects them to e.g.
127.0.0.1:8080.
- LXD uses the seccomp notifier heavily to intercept and emulate
mknod() and mount() syscalls for unprivileged containers/processes.
With pidfd_getfd() more uses-cases e.g. bridging socket connections
will be possible.
- The patchset has also seen some interest from the browser corner.
Right now, Firefox is using a SECCOMP_RET_TRAP sandbox managed by a
broker process. In the future glibc will start blocking all signals
during dlopen() rendering this type of sandbox impossible. Hence,
in the future Firefox will switch to a seccomp-user-nofication
based sandbox which also makes use of file descriptor retrieval.
The thread for this can be found at
https://sourceware.org/ml/libc-alpha/2019-12/msg00079.html
With pidfd_getfd() it is e.g. possible to bridge socket connections
for the supervisee (binding to a privileged port) and taking actions
on file descriptors on behalf of the supervisee in general.
Sargun's first version was using an ioctl on pidfds but various people
pushed for it to be a proper syscall which he duely implemented as
well over various review cycles. Selftests are of course included.
I've also added instructions how to deal with merge conflicts below.
There's also a small fix coming from the kernel mentee project to
correctly annotate struct sighand_struct with __rcu to fix various
sparse warnings. We've received a few more such fixes and even though
they are mostly trivial I've decided to postpone them until after -rc1
since they came in rather late and I don't want to risk introducing
build warnings.
Finally, there's a new prctl() command PR_{G,S}ET_IO_FLUSHER which is
needed to avoid allocation recursions triggerable by storage drivers
that have userspace parts that run in the IO path (e.g. dm-multipath,
iscsi, etc). These allocation recursions deadlock the device.
The new prctl() allows such privileged userspace components to avoid
allocation recursions by setting the PF_MEMALLOC_NOIO and
PF_LESS_THROTTLE flags. The patch carries the necessary acks from the
relevant maintainers and is routed here as part of prctl()
thread-management."

It has been reported by Google that rseq is not behaving properly
with respect to clone when CLONE_VM is used without CLONE_THREAD.
It keeps the prior thread's rseq TLS registered when the TLS of the
thread has moved, so the kernel can corrupt the TLS of the parent.
The approach of clearing the per task-struct rseq registration
on clone with CLONE_THREAD flag is incomplete. It does not cover
the use-case of clone with CLONE_VM set, but without CLONE_THREAD.
Here is the rationale for unregistering rseq on clone with CLONE_VM
flag set:
1) CLONE_THREAD requires CLONE_SIGHAND, which requires CLONE_VM to be
set. Therefore, just checking for CLONE_VM covers all CLONE_THREAD
uses. There is no point in checking for both CLONE_THREAD and
CLONE_VM,
2) There is the possibility of an unlikely scenario where CLONE_SETTLS
is used without CLONE_VM. In order to be an issue, it would require
that the rseq TLS is in a shared memory area.
I do not plan on adding CLONE_SETTLS to the set of clone flags which
unregister RSEQ, because it would require that we also unregister RSEQ
on set_thread_area(2) and arch_prctl(2) ARCH_SET_FS for completeness.
So rather than doing a partial solution, it appears better to let
user-space explicitly perform rseq unregistration across clone if
needed in scenarios where CLONE_VM is not set.

Patch series " kcov: collect coverage from usb and vhost", v3.
This patchset extends kcov to allow collecting coverage from backgound
kernel threads. This extension requires custom annotations for each of
the places where coverage collection is desired. This patchset
implements this for hub events in the USB subsystem and for vhost
workers. See the first patch description for details about the kcov
extension. The other two patches apply this kcov extension to USB and
vhost.
Examples of other subsystems that might potentially benefit from this
when custom annotations are added (the list is based on
process_one_work() callers for bugs recently reported by syzbot):
1. fs: writeback wb_workfn() worker,
2. net: addrconf_dad_work()/addrconf_verify_work() workers,
3. net: neigh_periodic_work() worker,
4. net/p9: p9_write_work()/p9_read_work() workers,
5. block: blk_mq_run_work_fn() worker.
These patches have been used to enable coverage-guided USB fuzzing with
syzkaller for the last few years, see the details here:
https://github.com/google/syzkaller/blob/master/docs/linux/external_fuzzing_usb.md
This patchset has been pushed to the public Linux kernel Gerrit
instance:
https://linux-review.googlesource.com/c/linux/kernel/git/torvalds/linux/+/1524
This patch (of 3):
Add background thread coverage collection ability to kcov.
With KCOV_ENABLE coverage is collected only for syscalls that are issued
from the current process. With KCOV_REMOTE_ENABLE it's possible to
collect coverage for arbitrary parts of the kernel code, provided that
those parts are annotated with kcov_remote_start()/kcov_remote_stop().
This allows to collect coverage from two types of kernel background
threads: the global ones, that are spawned during kernel boot in a
limited number of instances (e.g. one USB hub_event() worker thread is
spawned per USB HCD); and the local ones, that are spawned when a user
interacts with some kernel interface (e.g. vhost workers).
To enable collecting coverage from a global background thread, a unique
global handle must be assigned and passed to the corresponding
kcov_remote_start() call. Then a userspace process can pass a list of
such handles to the KCOV_REMOTE_ENABLE ioctl in the handles array field
of the kcov_remote_arg struct. This will attach the used kcov device to
the code sections, that are referenced by those handles.
Since there might be many local background threads spawned from
different userspace processes, we can't use a single global handle per
annotation. Instead, the userspace process passes a non-zero handle
through the common_handle field of the kcov_remote_arg struct. This
common handle gets saved to the kcov_handle field in the current
task_struct and needs to be passed to the newly spawned threads via
custom annotations. Those threads should in turn be annotated with
kcov_remote_start()/kcov_remote_stop().
Internally kcov stores handles as u64 integers. The top byte of a
handle is used to denote the id of a subsystem that this handle belongs
to, and the lower 4 bytes are used to denote the id of a thread instance
within that subsystem. A reserved value 0 is used as a subsystem id for
common handles as they don't belong to a particular subsystem. The
bytes 4-7 are currently reserved and must be zero. In the future the
number of bytes used for the subsystem or handle ids might be increased.
When a particular userspace process collects coverage by via a common
handle, kcov will collect coverage for each code section that is
annotated to use the common handle obtained as kcov_handle from the
current task_struct. However non common handles allow to collect
coverage selectively from different subsystems.

"The main changes in the timer code in this cycle were:
- Clockevent updates:
- timer-of framework cleanups. (Geert Uytterhoeven)
- Use timer-of for the renesas-ostm and the device name to prevent
name collision in case of multiple timers. (Geert Uytterhoeven)
- Check if there is an error after calling of_clk_get in asm9260
(Chuhong Yuan)
- ABI fix: Zero out high order bits of nanoseconds on compat
syscalls. This got broken a year ago, with apparently no side
effects so far.
Since the kernel would use random data otherwise I don't think we'd
have other options but to fix the bug, even if there was a side
effect to applications (Dmitry Safonov)
- Optimize ns_to_timespec64() on 32-bit systems: move away from
div_s64_rem() which can be slow, to div_u64_rem() which is faster
(Arnd Bergmann)
- Annotate KCSAN-reported false positive data races in
hrtimer_is_queued() users by moving timer->state handling over to
the READ_ONCE()/WRITE_ONCE() APIs. This documents these accesses
(Eric Dumazet)
- Misc cleanups and small fixes"
[ I undid the "ABI fix" and updated the comments instead. The reason
there were apparently no side effects is that the fix was a no-op.
The updated comment is to say _why_ it was a no-op. - Linus ]

cmpxchg() loops is mitigated for common refcount operations.
With these performance improvements the generic implementation of
refcount_t should be good enough for everybody - and this got
confirmed by performance testing, so remove ARCH_HAS_REFCOUNT and
REFCOUNT_FULL entirely, leaving the generic implementation enabled
unconditionally. (Will Deacon)

Pull scheduler updates from Ingo Molnar:
"The biggest changes in this cycle were:
- Make kcpustat vtime aware (Frederic Weisbecker)
- Rework the CFS load_balance() logic (Vincent Guittot)
- Misc cleanups, smaller enhancements, fixes.
The load-balancing rework is the most intrusive change: it replaces
the old heuristics that have become less meaningful after the
introduction of the PELT metrics, with a grounds-up load-balancing
algorithm.
As such it's not really an iterative series, but replaces the old
load-balancing logic with the new one. We hope there are no
performance regressions left - but statistically it's highly probable
that there *is* going to be some workload that is hurting from these
chnages. If so then we'd prefer to have a look at that workload and
fix its scheduling, instead of reverting the changes"

The futex exit handling relies on PF_ flags. That's suboptimal as it
requires a smp_mb() and an ugly lock/unlock of the exiting tasks pi_lock in
the middle of do_exit() to enforce the observability of PF_EXITING in the
futex code.
Add a futex_state member to task_struct and convert the PF_EXITPIDONE logic
over to the new state. The PF_EXITING dependency will be cleaned up in a
later step.
This prepares for handling various futex exit issues later.
