Merge branch 'sched-urgent-for-linus' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/tip/tip

2018-07-08T19:41:23Z

Pull scheduler fixes from Thomas Gleixner: - The hopefully final fix for the reported race problems in kthread_parkme(). The previous attempt still left a hole and was partially wrong. - Plug a race in the remote tick mechanism which triggers a warning about updates not being done correctly. That's a false positive if the race condition is hit as the remote CPU is idle. Plug it by checking the condition again when holding run queue lock. - Fix a bug in the utilization estimation of a run queue which causes the estimation to be 0 when a run queue is throttled. - Advance the global expiration of the period timer when the timer is restarted after a idle period. Otherwise the expiry time is stale and the timer fires prematurely. - Cure the drift between the bandwidth timer and the runqueue accounting, which leads to bogus throttling of runqueues - Place the call to cpufreq_update_util() correctly so the function will observe the correct number of running RT tasks and not a stale one. * 'sched-urgent-for-linus' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/tip/tip: kthread, sched/core: Fix kthread_parkme() (again...) sched/util_est: Fix util_est_dequeue() for throttled cfs_rq sched/fair: Advance global expiration when period timer is restarted sched/fair: Fix bandwidth timer clock drift condition sched/rt: Fix call to cpufreq_update_util() sched/nohz: Skip remote tick on idle task entirely

ftrace: Nuke clear_ftrace_function

2018-07-03T22:33:19Z

clear_ftrace_function is not used outside of ftrace.c and is not help to use a function, so nuke it per Steve's suggestion.

tracing: Make create_filter() code match the comments

2018-07-03T22:14:40Z

The comment in create_filter() states that the passed in filter pointer (filterp) will either be NULL or contain an error message stating why the filter failed. But it also expects the filter pointer to point to NULL when passed in. If it is not, the function create_filter_start() will warn and return an error message without updating the filter pointer. This is not what the comment states. As we always expect the pointer to point to NULL, if it is not, trigger a WARN_ON(), set it to NULL, and then continue the path as the rest will work as the comment states. Also update the comment to state it must point to NULL. Reported-by: Dan Carpenter Signed-off-by: Steven Rostedt (VMware)

tracing: Avoid string overflow

2018-07-03T22:14:39Z

'err' is used as a NUL-terminated string, but using strncpy() with the length equal to the buffer size may result in lack of the termination: kernel/trace/trace_events_hist.c: In function 'hist_err_event': kernel/trace/trace_events_hist.c:396:3: error: 'strncpy' specified bound 256 equals destination size [-Werror=stringop-truncation] strncpy(err, var, MAX_FILTER_STR_VAL); This changes it to use the safer strscpy() instead.

kthread, sched/core: Fix kthread_parkme() (again...)

2018-07-03T07:17:30Z

Gaurav reports that commit: 85f1abe0019f ("kthread, sched/wait: Fix kthread_parkme() completion issue") isn't working for him. Because of the following race: > controller Thread CPUHP Thread > takedown_cpu > kthread_park > kthread_parkme > Set KTHREAD_SHOULD_PARK > smpboot_thread_fn > set Task interruptible > > > wake_up_process > if (!(p->state & state)) > goto out; > > Kthread_parkme > SET TASK_PARKED > schedule > raw_spin_lock(&rq->lock) > ttwu_remote > waiting for __task_rq_lock > context_switch > > finish_lock_switch > > > > Case TASK_PARKED > kthread_park_complete > > > SET Running Furthermore, Oleg noticed that the whole scheduler TASK_PARKED handling is buggered because the TASK_DEAD thing is done with preemption disabled, the current code can still complete early on preemption :/ So basically revert that earlier fix and go with a variant of the alternative mentioned in the commit. Promote TASK_PARKED to special state to avoid the store-store issue on task->state leading to the WARN in kthread_unpark() -> __kthread_bind(). But in addition, add wait_task_inactive() to kthread_park() to ensure the task really is PARKED when we return from kthread_park(). This avoids the whole kthread still gets migrated nonsense -- although it would be really good to get this done differently.

sched/util_est: Fix util_est_dequeue() for throttled cfs_rq

2018-07-03T07:17:30Z

When a cfs_rq is throttled, parent cfs_rq->nr_running is decreased and everything happens at cfs_rq level. Currently util_est stays unchanged in such case and it keeps accounting the utilization of throttled tasks. This can somewhat make sense as we don't dequeue tasks but only throttled cfs_rq. If a task of another group is enqueued/dequeued and root cfs_rq becomes idle during the dequeue, util_est will be cleared whereas it was accounting util_est of throttled tasks before. So the behavior of util_est is not always the same regarding throttled tasks and depends of side activity. Furthermore, util_est will not be updated when the cfs_rq is unthrottled as everything happens at cfs_rq level. Main results is that util_est will stay null whereas we now have running tasks. We have to wait for the next dequeue/enqueue of the previously throttled tasks to get an up to date util_est. Remove the assumption that cfs_rq's estimated utilization of a CPU is 0 if there is no running task so the util_est of a task remains until the latter is dequeued even if its cfs_rq has been throttled.
