Active balance is triggered for a number of voluntary cases like misfit
or pinned tasks cases but also after that a number of load balance
attempts failed to migrate a task. There is no need to use active load
balance when the group is overloaded because an overloaded state means
that there is at least one waiting task. Nevertheless, the waiting task
is not selected and detached until the threshold becomes higher than its
load. This threshold increases with the number of failed lb (see the
condition if ((load >> env->sd->nr_balance_failed) > env->imbalance) in
detach_tasks()) and the waiting task will end up to be selected after a
number of attempts.

Setting LBF_ALL_PINNED during active load balance is only valid when there
is only 1 running task on the rq otherwise this ends up increasing the
balance interval whereas other tasks could migrate after the next interval
once they become cache-cold as an example.
LBF_ALL_PINNED flag is now always set it by default. It is then cleared
when we find one task that can be pulled when calling detach_tasks() or

cpu_util_cfs() uses CPU_utilization which could lead to a false (too

To mitigate the issue split the util_est update (2) into:

SCHED_SOFTIRQ is raised to trigger periodic load balancing. When CPU is not
active, CPU should not participate in load balancing.
The scheduler uses nohz.idle_cpus_mask to keep track of the CPUs which can
do idle load balancing. When bringing a CPU up the CPU is added to the mask
when it reaches the active state, but on teardown the CPU stays in the mask
until it goes offline and invokes sched_cpu_dying().
When SCHED_SOFTIRQ is raised on a !active CPU, there might be a pending
softirq when stopping the tick which triggers a warning in NOHZ code. The
SCHED_SOFTIRQ can also be raised by the scheduler tick which has the same
issue.
Therefore remove the CPU from nohz.idle_cpus_mask when it is marked
inactive and also prevent the scheduler_tick() from raising SCHED_SOFTIRQ
after this point.

Add support for directly accessing kernel module variables from BPF programs
using special ldimm64 instructions. This functionality builds upon vmlinux
ksym support, but extends ldimm64 with src_reg=BPF_PSEUDO_BTF_ID to allow
specifying kernel module BTF's FD in insn[1].imm field.
During BPF program load time, verifier will resolve FD to BTF object and will
take reference on BTF object itself and, for module BTFs, corresponding module
as well, to make sure it won't be unloaded from under running BPF program. The
mechanism used is similar to how bpf_prog keeps track of used bpf_maps.
One interesting change is also in how per-CPU variable is determined. The
logic is to find .data..percpu data section in provided BTF, but both vmlinux
and module each have their own .data..percpu entries in BTF. So for module's
case, the search for DATASEC record needs to look at only module's added BTF
types. This is implemented with custom search function.

Song reported a boot regression in a kvm image with 5.11-rc, and bisected
it down to the below patch. Debugging this issue, turns out that the boot
stalled when a task is waiting on a pipe being released. As we no longer
run task_work from get_signal() unless it's queued with TWA_SIGNAL, the
task goes idle without running the task_work. This prevents ->release()
from being called on the pipe, which another boot task is waiting on.
For now, re-instate the unconditional task_work run from get_signal().
For 5.12, we'll collapse TWA_RESUME and TWA_SIGNAL, as it no longer
makes sense to have a distinction between the two. This will turn
task_work notification into a simple boolean, whether to notify or not.

The TREE01 rcutorture scenario intentionally creates confusion as to the
number of available CPUs by specifying the "maxcpus=8 nr_cpus=43" kernel
boot parameters. This can disable rcutorture's load shedding, which
currently uses num_online_cpus(), which would count the extra 35 CPUs.
However, the rcutorture guest OS will be provisioned with only 8 CPUs,
which means that rcutorture will present full load even when all but one
of the original 8 CPUs are offline. This can result in spurious errors
due to extreme overloading of that single remaining CPU.
This commit therefore keeps a separate set of books on the number of
usable online CPUs, so that torture_num_online_cpus() is used for load
shedding instead of num_online_cpus(). Note that initial sizing must
use num_online_cpus() because torture_num_online_cpus() will return
NR_CPUS until shortly after torture_onoff_init() is invoked.

Currently, the rcu_torture_writer() function checks that all required
grace periods elapse during a stutter interval, which is a multi-second
time period during which the test load is removed. However, this check
is suppressed during early boot (that is, before init is spawned) in
order to avoid false positives that otherwise occur due to heavy load
on the single boot CPU.
Unfortunately, this approach is insufficient. It is possible that the
stutter interval might end just as init is spawned, so that early boot
conditions prevailed during almost the entire stutter interval.
This commit therefore takes a snapshot of boot-complete state just
before the stutter interval, thus suppressing the check for failure to
complete grace periods unless the entire stutter interval took place
after early boot.

a. [RCU_GP_WAIT_GPS] -> [RCU_GP_DONE_GPS]
The RCU_GP_WAIT_GPS state is where the GP kthread waits for a request
for a new GP. Once it receives a request (for example, when a new RCU
callback is queued), the GP kthread transitions to RCU_GP_DONE_GPS.
b. [RCU_GP_DONE_GPS] -> [RCU_GP_ONOFF]
Grace period initialization starts in rcu_gp_init(), which records the
start of new GP in rcu_state.gp_seq and transitions to RCU_GP_ONOFF.
c. [RCU_GP_ONOFF] -> [RCU_GP_INIT]
The purpose of the RCU_GP_ONOFF state is to apply the online/offline
information that was buffered for any CPUs that recently came online or
went offline. This state is maintained in per-leaf rcu_node bitmasks,
with the buffered state in ->qsmaskinitnext and the state for the upcoming
GP in ->qsmaskinit. At the end of this RCU_GP_ONOFF state, each bit in
->qsmaskinit will correspond to a CPU that must pass through a quiescent
state before the upcoming grace period is allowed to complete.
However, a leaf rcu_node structure with an all-zeroes ->qsmaskinit
cannot necessarily be ignored. In preemptible RCU, there might well be
tasks still in RCU read-side critical sections that were first preempted
while running on one of the CPUs managed by this structure. Such tasks
will be queued on this structure's ->blkd_tasks list. Only after this
list fully drains can this leaf rcu_node structure be ignored, and even
then only if none of its CPUs have come back online in the meantime.
Once that happens, the ->qsmaskinit masks further up the tree will be
updated to exclude this leaf rcu_node structure.
Once the ->qsmaskinitnext and ->qsmaskinit fields have been updated
as needed, the GP kthread transitions to RCU_GP_INIT.
d. [RCU_GP_INIT] -> [RCU_GP_WAIT_FQS]
The purpose of the RCU_GP_INIT state is to copy each ->qsmaskinit to
the ->qsmask field within each rcu_node structure. This copying is done
breadth-first from the root to the leaves. Why not just copy directly
from ->qsmaskinitnext to ->qsmask? Because the ->qsmaskinitnext masks
can change in the meantime as additional CPUs come online or go offline.
Such changes would result in inconsistencies in the ->qsmask fields up and
down the tree, which could in turn result in too-short grace periods or
grace-period hangs. These issues are avoided by snapshotting the leaf
rcu_node structures' ->qsmaskinitnext fields into their ->qsmaskinit
counterparts, generating a consistent set of ->qsmaskinit fields
throughout the tree, and only then copying these consistent ->qsmaskinit
fields to their ->qsmask counterparts.
Once this initialization step is complete, the GP kthread transitions
to RCU_GP_WAIT_FQS, where it waits to do a force-quiescent-state scan
on the one hand or for the end of the grace period on the other.
e. [RCU_GP_WAIT_FQS] -> [RCU_GP_DOING_FQS]
The RCU_GP_WAIT_FQS state waits for one of three things: (1) An
explicit request to do a force-quiescent-state scan, (2) The end of
the grace period, or (3) A short interval of time, after which it
will do a force-quiescent-state (FQS) scan. The explicit request can
come from rcutorture or from any CPU that has too many RCU callbacks
queued (see the qhimark kernel parameter and the RCU_GP_FLAG_OVLD
flag). The aforementioned "short period of time" is specified by the
jiffies_till_first_fqs boot parameter for a given grace period's first
FQS scan and by the jiffies_till_next_fqs for later FQS scans.
Either way, once the wait is over, the GP kthread transitions to
RCU_GP_DOING_FQS.
f. [RCU_GP_DOING_FQS] -> [RCU_GP_CLEANUP]
The RCU_GP_DOING_FQS state performs an FQS scan. Each such scan carries
out two functions for any CPU whose bit is still set in its leaf rcu_node
structure's ->qsmask field, that is, for any CPU that has not yet reported
a quiescent state for the current grace period:
i. Report quiescent states on behalf of CPUs that have been observed
to be idle (from an RCU perspective) since the beginning of the
grace period.
ii. If the current grace period is too old, take various actions to
encourage holdout CPUs to pass through quiescent states, including
enlisting the aid of any calls to cond_resched() and might_sleep(),
and even including IPIing the holdout CPUs.
These checks are skipped for any leaf rcu_node structure with a all-zero
->qsmask field, however such structures are subject to RCU priority
boosting if there are tasks on a given structure blocking the current
grace period. The end of the grace period is detected when the root
rcu_node structure's ->qsmask is zero and when there are no longer any
preempted tasks blocking the current grace period. (No, this last check
is not redundant. To see this, consider an rcu_node tree having exactly
one structure that serves as both root and leaf.)
Once the end of the grace period is detected, the GP kthread transitions
to RCU_GP_CLEANUP.
g. [RCU_GP_CLEANUP] -> [RCU_GP_CLEANED]
The RCU_GP_CLEANUP state marks the end of grace period by updating the
rcu_state structure's ->gp_seq field and also all rcu_node structures'
->gp_seq field. As before, the rcu_node tree is traversed in breadth
first order. Once this update is complete, the GP kthread transitions
to the RCU_GP_CLEANED state.
i. [RCU_GP_CLEANED] -> [RCU_GP_INIT]
Once in the RCU_GP_CLEANED state, the GP kthread immediately transitions
into the RCU_GP_INIT state.
j. The role of timers.
If there is at least one idle CPU, and if timers are not firing, the
transition from RCU_GP_DOING_FQS to RCU_GP_CLEANUP will never happen.
Timers can fail to fire for a number of reasons, including issues in
timer configuration, issues in the timer framework, and failure to handle
softirqs (for example, when there is a storm of interrupts). Whatever the
reason, if the timers fail to fire, the GP kthread will never be awakened,
resulting in RCU CPU stall warnings and eventually in OOM.
However, an RCU CPU stall warning has a large number of potential causes,
as documented in Documentation/RCU/stallwarn.rst. This commit therefore
adds analysis to the RCU CPU stall-warning code to emit an additional
message if the cause of the stall is likely to be timer failure.

Because the need to wake a nocb GP kthread ("rcuog") is sometimes
detected when wakeups cannot be done, these wakeups can be deferred.
The wakeups are then carried out by calls to do_nocb_deferred_wakeup()
at various safe points in the code, including RCU's idle hooks. However,
when a CPU goes offline, it invokes arch_cpu_idle_dead() without invoking
any of RCU's idle hooks.
This commit therefore adds a call to do_nocb_deferred_wakeup() in
rcu_report_dead() in order to handle any deferred wakeups that have been
requested by the outgoing CPU.

Frederic Weisbecker is adding the ability to change the rcu_nocbs state
of CPUs at runtime, that is, to offload and deoffload their RCU callback
processing without the need to reboot. As the old saying goes, "if it
ain't tested, it don't work", so this commit therefore adds prototype
rcutorture testing for this capability.
