sched/fair: Fix potential memory corruption in child_cfs_rq_on_list

[ Upstream commit 3b4035ddbfc8e4521f85569998a7569668cccf51 ]

sched/fair: Fix potential memory corruption in child_cfs_rq_on_list

[ Upstream commit 3b4035ddbfc8e4521f85569998a7569668cccf51 ]

child_cfs_rq_on_list attempts to convert a 'prev' pointer to a cfs_rq.
This 'prev' pointer can originate from struct rq's leaf_cfs_rq_list,
making the conversion invalid and potentially leading to memory
corruption. Depending on the relative positions of leaf_cfs_rq_list and
the task group (tg) pointer within the struct, this can cause a memory
fault or access garbage data.

The issue arises in list_add_leaf_cfs_rq, where both
cfs_rq->leaf_cfs_rq_list and rq->leaf_cfs_rq_list are added to the same
leaf list. Also, rq->tmp_alone_branch can be set to rq->leaf_cfs_rq_list.

This adds a check `if (prev == &rq->leaf_cfs_rq_list)` after the main
conditional in child_cfs_rq_on_list. This ensures that the container_of
operation will convert a correct cfs_rq struct.

This check is sufficient because only cfs_rqs on the same CPU are added
to the list, so verifying the 'prev' pointer against the current rq's list
head is enough.

Fixes a potential memory corruption issue that due to current struct
layout might not be manifesting as a crash but could lead to unpredictable
behavior when the layout changes.

sched/fair: Fix value reported by hot tasks pulled in /proc/schedstat

[ Upstream commit a430d99e349026d53e2557b7b22bd2ebd61fe12a ]

In /proc/schedstat, lb_hot_gained reports the number hot tasks pulled
during load balance. This value is incremented in can_migrate_task()
if the task is migratable and hot. After incrementing the value,
load balancer can still decide not to migrate this task leading to wrong
accounting. Fix this by incrementing stats when hot tasks are detached.
This issue only exists in detach_tasks() where we can decide to not
migrate hot task even if it is migratable. However, in detach_one_task(),
we migrate it unconditionally.

sched/fair: Check idle_cpu() before need_resched() to detect ilb CPU turning busy

[ Upstream commit ff47a0acfcce309cf9e175149c75614491953c8f ]

Commit b2a02fc43a1f ("smp: Optimize send_call_function_single_ipi()")
optimizes IPIs to idle CPUs in TIF_POLLING_NRFLAG mode by setting the
TIF_NEED_RESCHED flag in idle task's thread info and relying on
flush_smp_call_function_queue() in idle exit path to run the
call-function. A softirq raised by the call-function is handled shortly
after in do_softirq_post_smp_call_flush() but the TIF_NEED_RESCHED flag
remains set and is only cleared later when schedule_idle() calls
__schedule().

need_resched() check in _nohz_idle_balance() exists to bail out of load
balancing if another task has woken up on the CPU currently in-charge of
idle load balancing which is being processed in SCHED_SOFTIRQ context.
Since the optimization mentioned above overloads the interpretation of
TIF_NEED_RESCHED, check for idle_cpu() before going with the existing
need_resched() check which can catch a genuine task wakeup on an idle
CPU processing SCHED_SOFTIRQ from do_softirq_post_smp_call_flush(), as
well as the case where ksoftirqd needs to be preempted as a result of
new task wakeup or slice expiry.

In case of PREEMPT_RT or threadirqs, although the idle load balancing
may be inhibited in some cases on the ilb CPU, the fact that ksoftirqd
is the only fair task going back to sleep will trigger a newidle balance
on the CPU which will alleviate some imbalance if it exists if idle
balance fails to do so.

...

This issue can be consistently reproduced on three different servers:
* a 448-core server
* a 256-core server
* a 192-core server

[Root Cause]
Since multiple threads are created by the hackbench program (along with
the command argument 'thread'), a shared vma might be accessed by two or
more cores simultaneously. When two or more cores observe that
vma->numab_state is NULL at the same time, vma->numab_state will be
overwritten.

Although current code ensures that only one thread scans the VMAs in a
single 'numa_scan_period', there might be a chance for another thread
to enter in the next 'numa_scan_period' while we have not gotten till
numab_state allocation [1].

Note that the command `/opt/ltp/testcases/bin/hackbench 50 process 1000`
cannot the reproduce the issue. It is verified with 200+ test runs.

[Solution]
Use the cmpxchg atomic operation to ensure that only one thread executes
the vma->numab_state assignment.

sched/numa: Fix mm numa_scan_seq based unconditional scan

sched/numa: Fix mm numa_scan_seq based unconditional scan

[ Upstream commit 84db47ca7146d7bd00eb5cf2b93989a971c84650 ]

Since commit fc137c0ddab2 ("sched/numa: enhance vma scanning logic")

NUMA Balancing allows updating PTEs to trap NUMA hinting faults if the
task had previously accessed VMA. However unconditional scan of VMAs are
allowed during initial phase of VMA creation until process's
mm numa_scan_seq reaches 2 even though current task had not accessed VMA.

Rationale:
- Without initial scan subsequent PTE update may never happen.
- Give fair opportunity to all the VMAs to be scanned and subsequently
understand the access pattern of all the VMAs.

But it has a corner case where, if a VMA is created after some time,
process's mm numa_scan_seq could be already greater than 2.

For e.g., values of mm numa_scan_seq when VMAs are created by running
mmtest autonuma benchmark briefly looks like:
start_seq=0 : 459
start_seq=2 : 138
start_seq=3 : 144
start_seq=4 : 8
start_seq=8 : 1
start_seq=9 : 1
This results in no unconditional PTE updates for those VMAs created after
some time.

Fix:
- Note down the initial value of mm numa_scan_seq in per VMA start_seq.
- Allow unconditional scan till start_seq + 2.

Result:
SUT: AMD EPYC Milan with 2 NUMA nodes 256 cpus.
base kernel: upstream 6.6-rc6 with Mels patches [1] applied.

stress-ng-vm-segv in stress-ng is used to stress test the SIGSEGV error
handling function of the system, which tries to cause a SIGSEGV error on
return from unmapping the whole address space of the child process.

Normally this program will not cause kernel crashes. But before the
munmap system call returns to user mode, a potential task_numa_work()
for numa balancing could be added and executed. In this scenario, since the
child process has no vma after munmap, the vma_next() in task_numa_work()
will return a null pointer even if the vma iterator restarts from 0.

Recheck the vma pointer before dereferencing it in task_numa_work().

sched/numa: Fix the vma scan starving issue

sched/numa: Fix the vma scan starving issue

[ Upstream commit f22cde4371f3c624e947a35b075c06c771442a43 ]

Problem statement:
Since commit fc137c0ddab2 ("sched/numa: enhance vma scanning logic"), the
Numa vma scan overhead has been reduced a lot. Meanwhile, the reducing of
the vma scan might create less Numa page fault information. The
insufficient information makes it harder for the Numa balancer to make
decision. Later, commit b7a5b537c55c08 ("sched/numa: Complete scanning of
partial VMAs regardless of PID activity") and commit 84db47ca7146d7
("sched/numa: Fix mm numa_scan_seq based unconditional scan") are found to
bring back part of the performance.

Recently when running SPECcpu omnetpp_r on a 320 CPUs/2 Sockets system, a
long duration of remote Numa node read was observed by PMU events: A few
cores having ~500MB/s remote memory access for ~20 seconds. It causes
high core-to-core variance and performance penalty. After the
investigation, it is found that many vmas are skipped due to the active
PID check. According to the trace events, in most cases,
vma_is_accessed() returns false because the history access info stored in
pids_active array has been cleared.

Proposal:
The main idea is to adjust vma_is_accessed() to let it return true easier.
Thus compare the diff between mm->numa_scan_seq and
vma->numab_state->prev_scan_seq. If the diff has exceeded the threshold,
scan the vma.

This patch especially helps the cases where there are small number of
threads, like the process-based SPECcpu. Without this patch, if the
SPECcpu process access the vma at the beginning, then sleeps for a long
time, the pid_active array will be cleared. A a result, if this process
is woken up again, it never has a chance to set prot_none anymore.
Because only the first 2 times of access is granted for vma scan:
(current->mm->numa_scan_seq) - vma->numab_state->start_scan_seq) < 2 to be
worse, no other threads within the task can help set the prot_none. This
causes information lost.

Raghavendra helped test current patch and got the positive result
on the AMD platform:

sched/numa: Complete scanning of inactive VMAs when there is no alternative

sched/numa: Complete scanning of inactive VMAs when there is no alternative

[ Upstream commit f169c62ff7cd1acf8bac8ae17bfeafa307d9e6fa ]

VMAs are skipped if there is no recent fault activity but this represents
a chicken-and-egg problem as there may be no fault activity if the PTEs
are never updated to trap NUMA hints. There is an indirect reliance on
scanning to be forced early in the lifetime of a task but this may fail
to detect changes in phase behaviour. Force inactive VMAs to be scanned
when all other eligible VMAs have been updated within the same scan
sequence.

Test results in general look good with some changes in performance, both
negative and positive, depending on whether the additional scanning and
faulting was beneficial or not to the workload. The autonuma benchmark
workload NUMA01_THREADLOCAL was picked for closer examination. The workload
creates two processes with numerous threads and thread-local storage that
is zero-filled in a loop. It exercises the corner case where unrelated
threads may skip VMAs that are thread-local to another thread and still
has some VMAs that inactive while the workload executes.

The VMA skipping activity frequency with and without the patch:

6.6.0-rc2-sched-numabtrace-v1
=============================
649 reason=scan_delay
9,094 reason=unsuitable
48,915 reason=shared_ro
143,919 reason=inaccessible
193,050 reason=pid_inactive

6.6.0-rc2-sched-numabselective-v1
=============================
146 reason=seq_completed
622 reason=ignore_pid_inactive

624 reason=scan_delay
6,570 reason=unsuitable
16,101 reason=shared_ro
27,608 reason=inaccessible
41,939 reason=pid_inactive

Note that with the patch applied, the PID activity is ignored
(ignore_pid_inactive) to ensure a VMA with some activity is completely
scanned. In addition, a small number of VMAs are scanned when no other
eligible VMA is available during a single scan window (seq_completed).
The number of times a VMA is skipped due to no PID activity from the
scanning task (pid_inactive) drops dramatically. It is expected that
this will increase the number of PTEs updated for NUMA hinting faults
as well as hinting faults but these represent PTEs that would otherwise
have been missed. The tradeoff is scan+fault overhead versus improving
locality due to migration.

On a 2-socket Cascade Lake test machine, the time to complete the
workload is as follows;

6.6.0-rc2 6.6.0-rc2
sched-numabtrace-v1 sched-numabselective-v1
Min elsp-NUMA01_THREADLOCAL 174.22 ( 0.00%) 117.64 ( 32.48%)
Amean elsp-NUMA01_THREADLOCAL 175.68 ( 0.00%) 123.34 * 29.79%*
Stddev elsp-NUMA01_THREADLOCAL 1.20 ( 0.00%) 4.06 (-238.20%)
CoeffVar elsp-NUMA01_THREADLOCAL 0.68 ( 0.00%) 3.29 (-381.70%)
Max elsp-NUMA01_THREADLOCAL 177.18 ( 0.00%) 128.03 ( 27.74%)

The time to complete the workload is reduced by almost 30%:

6.6.0-rc2 6.6.0-rc2
sched-numabtrace-v1 sched-numabselective-v1 /
Duration User 91201.80 63506.64
Duration System 2015.53 1819.78
Duration Elapsed 1234.77 868.37

In this specific case, system CPU time was not increased but it's not
universally true.

From vmstat, the NUMA scanning and fault activity is as follows;

6.6.0-rc2 6.6.0-rc2
sched-numabtrace-v1 sched-numabselective-v1
Ops NUMA base-page range updates 64272.00 26374386.00
Ops NUMA PTE updates 36624.00 55538.00
Ops NUMA PMD updates 54.00 51404.00
Ops NUMA hint faults 15504.00 75786.00
Ops NUMA hint local faults % 14860.00 56763.00
Ops NUMA hint local percent 95.85 74.90
Ops NUMA pages migrated 1629.00 6469222.00

Both the number of PTE updates and hint faults is dramatically
increased. While this is superficially unfortunate, it represents
ranges that were simply skipped without the patch. As a result
of the scanning and hinting faults, many more pages were also
migrated but as the time to completion is reduced, the overhead
is offset by the gain.

sched/numa: Complete scanning of partial VMAs regardless of PID activity

[ Upstream commit b7a5b537c55c088d891ae554103d1b281abef781 ]

NUMA Balancing skips VMAs when the current task has not trapped a NUMA
fault within the VMA. If the VMA is skipped then mm->numa_scan_offset
advances and a task that is trapping faults within the VMA may never
fully update PTEs within the VMA.

Force tasks to update PTEs for partially scanned PTEs. The VMA will
be tagged for NUMA hints by some task but this removes some of the
benefit of tracking PID activity within a VMA. A follow-on patch
will mitigate this problem.

The test cases and machines evaluated did not trigger the corner case so
the performance results are neutral with only small changes within the
noise from normal test-to-test variance. However, the next patch makes
the corner case easier to trigger.

Recent NUMA hinting faulting activity is reset approximately every
VMA_PID_RESET_PERIOD milliseconds. However, if the current task has not
accessed a VMA then the reset check is missed and the reset is potentially
deferred forever. Check if the PID activity information should be reset
before checking if the current task recently trapped a NUMA hinting fault.

According to the cgroup hierarchy, A should preempt B. But current

will preempt A unexpectedly.
Unify the wakeup logic by {c,p}se_is_idle only. This makes SCHED_IDLE of

similar to the behavior of NICE.
