posix-cpu-timers: Clear TICK_DEP_BIT_POSIX_TIMER on clone

[ Upstream commit b5413156bad91dc2995a5c4eab1b05e56914638a ]

When cloning a new thread, its posix_cputimers are not inherited, and
are cleared by posix_cputimers_init(). However, this does not clear the
tick dependency it creates in tsk->tick_dep_mask, and the handler does
not reach the code to clear the dependency if there were no timers to
begin with.

Thus if a thread has a cputimer running before clone/fork, all
descendants will prevent nohz_full unless they create a cputimer of
their own.

Fix this by entirely clearing the tick_dep_mask in copy_process().
(There is currently no inherited state that needs a tick dependency)

Process-wide timers do not have this problem because fork does not copy
signal_struct as a baseline, it creates one from scratch.

rcu-tasks: Initialize data to eliminate RCU-tasks/do_exit() deadlocks

[ Upstream commit 46faf9d8e1d52e4a91c382c6c72da6bd8e68297b ]

Holding a mutex across synchronize_rcu_tasks() and acquiring
that same mutex in code called from do_exit() after its call to
exit_tasks_rcu_start() but before its call to exit_tasks_rcu_stop()
results in deadlock. This is by design, because tasks that are far
enough into do_exit() are no longer present on the tasks list, making
it a bit difficult for RCU Tasks to find them, let alone wait on them
to do a voluntary context switch. However, such deadlocks are becoming
more frequent. In addition, lockdep currently does not detect such
deadlocks and they can be difficult to reproduce.

In addition, if a task voluntarily context switches during that time
(for example, if it blocks acquiring a mutex), then this task is in an
RCU Tasks quiescent state. And with some adjustments, RCU Tasks could
just as well take advantage of that fact.

This commit therefore initializes the data structures that will be needed
to rely on these quiescent states and to eliminate these deadlocks.

close_range(): fix the logics in descriptor table trimming

commit 678379e1d4f7443b170939525d3312cfc37bf86b upstream.

Cloning a descriptor table picks the size that would cover all currently
opened

close_range(): fix the logics in descriptor table trimming

commit 678379e1d4f7443b170939525d3312cfc37bf86b upstream.

Cloning a descriptor table picks the size that would cover all currently
opened files. That's fine for clone() and unshare(), but for close_range()
there's an additional twist - we clone before we close, and it would be
a shame to have
close_range(3, ~0U, CLOSE_RANGE_UNSHARE)
leave us with a huge descriptor table when we are not going to keep
anything past stderr, just because some large file descriptor used to
be open before our call has taken it out.

Unfortunately, it had been dealt with in an inherently racy way -
sane_fdtable_size() gets a "don't copy anything past that" argument
(passed via unshare_fd() and dup_fd()), close_range() decides how much
should be trimmed and passes that to unshare_fd().

The problem is, a range that used to extend to the end of descriptor
table back when close_range() had looked at it might very well have stuff
grown after it by the time dup_fd() has allocated a new files_struct
and started to figure out the capacity of fdtable to be attached to that.

That leads to interesting pathological cases; at the very least it's a
QoI issue, since unshare(CLONE_FILES) is atomic in a sense that it takes
a snapshot of descriptor table one might have observed at some point.
Since CLOSE_RANGE_UNSHARE close_range() is supposed to be a combination
of unshare(CLONE_FILES) with plain close_range(), ending up with a
weird state that would never occur with unshare(2) is confusing, to put
it mildly.

It's not hard to get rid of - all it takes is passing both ends of the
range down to sane_fdtable_size(). There we are under ->files_lock,
so the race is trivially avoided.

So we do the following:
* switch close_files() from calling unshare_fd() to calling
dup_fd().
* undo the calling convention change done to unshare_fd() in
60997c3d45d9 "close_range: add CLOSE_RANGE_UNSHARE"
* introduce struct fd_range, pass a pointer to that to dup_fd()
and sane_fdtable_size() instead of "trim everything past that point"
they are currently getting. NULL means "we are not going to be punching
any holes"; NR_OPEN_MAX is gone.
* make sane_fdtable_size() use find_last_bit() instead of
open-coding it; it's easier to follow that way.
* while we are at it, have dup_fd() report errors by returning
ERR_PTR(), no need to use a separate int *errorp argument.

fork: defer linking file vma until vma is fully initialized

commit 35e351780fa9d8240dd6f7e4f245f9ea37e96c19 upstream.

Thorvald reported a WARNING [1]. And the root cause is below race:

CPU 1 CPU 2
fork hugetlbfs_fallocate
dup_mmap hugetlbfs_punch_hole
i_mmap_lock_write(mapping);
vma_interval_tree_insert_after -- Child vma is visible through i_mmap tree.

i_mmap_unlock_write(mapping);

hugetlb_dup_vma_private() and hugetlb_vm_op_open() are called outside
i_mmap_rwsem lock while vma lock can be used in the same time. Fix this
by deferring linking file vma until vma is fully initialized. Those vmas
should be initialized first before they can be used.

[ Upstream commit 24e41bf8a6b424c76c5902fb999e9eca61bdf83d ]

This extends the current PR_SET_MDWE prctl arg with a bit to indicate that
the process doesn't want MDWE protection to propagate to children.

To implement this no-inherit mode, the tag in current->mm->flags must be
absent from MMF_INIT_MASK. This means that the encoding for "MDWE but
without inherit" is different in the prctl than in the mm flags. This
leads to a bit of bit-mangling in the prctl implementation.

"One bigger change to percpu_counter's api allowing for init and
destroy of multiple counters via percpu_counter_init_many() and
percpu_counter_destroy_many(). This is used to help begin remediating
a performance regression with percpu rss stats.

Additionally, it seems larger core count machines are feeling the
burden of the single threaded allocation of percpu. Mateusz is
thinking about it and I will spend some time on it too.

percpu:

- A couple cleanups by Baoquan He and Bibo Mao. The only behavior
change is to start printing messages if we're under the warn limit
for failed atomic allocations.

percpu_counter:

- Shakeel introduced percpu counters into mm_struct which caused
percpu allocations be on the hot path [1]. Originally I spent some
time trying to improve the percpu allocator, but instead preferred
what Mateusz Guzik proposed grouping at the allocation site,
percpu_counter_init_many(). This allows a single percpu allocation
to be shared by the counters. I like this approach because it
creates a shared lifetime by the allocations. Additionally, I
believe many inits have higher level synchronization requirements,
like percpu_counter does against HOTPLUG_CPU. Therefore we can
group these optimizations together"

Merge tag 'sched-core-2023-08-28' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/tip/tip

Pull scheduler updates from Ingo Molnar:

- The biggest change is introduction of a new iteration of the
SCHED_FAIR interactivity code: the EEVDF ("Earliest Eligible Virtual
Deadline First") scheduler

EEVDF too is a virtual-time scheduler, with two parameters (weight
and relative deadline), compared to CFS that had weight only. It
completely reworks the base scheduler: placement, preemption, picking
-- everything

LWN.net, as usual, has a terrific writeup about EEVDF:

https://lwn.net/Articles/925371/

Preemption (both tick and wakeup) is driven by testing against a
fresh pick. Because the tree is now effectively an interval tree, and
the selection is no longer the 'leftmost' task, over-scheduling is
less of a problem. A lot of the CFS heuristics are removed or
replaced by more natural latency-space parameters & constructs

In terms of expected performance regressions: we will and can fix
everything where a 'good' workload misbehaves with the new scheduler,
but EEVDF inevitably changes workload scheduling in a binary fashion,
hopefully for the better in the overwhelming majority of cases, but
in some cases it won't, especially in adversarial loads that got
lucky with the previous code, such as some variants of hackbench. We
are trying hard to err on the side of fixing all performance
regressions, but we expect some inevitable post-release iterations of
that process

- Improve load-balancing on hybrid x86 systems: enable cluster
scheduling (again)

- Improve & fix bandwidth-scheduling on nohz systems

- Improve bandwidth-throttling

- Use lock guards to simplify and de-goto-ify control flow

kernel/fork: group allocation/free of per-cpu counters for mm struct

A trivial execve scalability test which tries to be very friendly
(statically linked binaries, all separate) is predominantly bottlenecked
by back-to-back per-cpu counter allocations which serialize on global
locks.

Ease the pain by allocating and freeing them in one go.

Bench can be found here:
http://apollo.backplane.com/DFlyMisc/doexec.c

$ cc -static -O2 -o static-doexec doexec.c
$ ./static-doexec $(nproc)

Even at a very modest scale of 26 cores (ops/s):
before: 133543.63
after: 186061.81 (+39%)

While with the patch these allocations remain a significant problem,
the primary bottleneck shifts to page release handling.

xchg originated in 6e399cd144d8 ("prctl: avoid using mmap_sem for exe_file
serialization"). While the commit message does not explain *why* the
change, I found the original submission [1] which ultimately claims it
cleans things up by removing dependency of exe_file on the semaphore.

However, fe69d560b5bd ("kernel/fork: always deny write access to current
MM exe_file") added a semaphore up/down cycle to synchronize the state of
exe_file against fork, defeating the point of the original change.

This is on top of semaphore trips already present both in the replacing
function and prctl (the only consumer).

Normally replacing exe_file does not happen for busy processes, thus
write-locking is not an impediment to performance in the intended use
case. If someone keeps invoking the routine for a busy processes they are
trying to play dirty and that's another reason to avoid any trickery.

As such I think the atomic here only adds complexity for no benefit.

Just write-lock around the replacement.

I also note that replacement races against the mapping check loop as
nothing synchronizes actual assignment with with said checks but I am not
addressing it in this patch. (Is the loop of any use to begin with?)
