A task wakeup can be either processed on the waker's CPU or bounced to the
wakee's previous CPU using an IPI (ttwu_queue). Bouncing to the wakee's CPU
avoids the waker's CPU locking and accessing the wakee's rq which can be
expensive across cache and node boundaries.
When ttwu_queue path is taken, select_task_rq() and thus ops.select_cpu()
may be skipped in some cases (racing against the wakee switching out). As
this confused some BPF schedulers, there wasn't a good way for a BPF
scheduler to tell whether idle CPU selection has been skipped, ops.enqueue()
couldn't insert tasks into foreign local DSQs, and the performance
difference on machines with simple toplogies were minimal, sched_ext
disabled ttwu_queue.
However, this optimization makes noticeable difference on more complex
topologies and a BPF scheduler now has an easy way tell whether
ops.select_cpu() was skipped since 9b671793c7 ("sched_ext, scx_qmap: Add
and use SCX_ENQ_CPU_SELECTED") and can insert tasks into foreign local DSQs
since 5b26f7b920 ("sched_ext: Allow SCX_DSQ_LOCAL_ON for direct
dispatches").
Implement SCX_OPS_ALLOW_QUEUED_WAKEUP which allows BPF schedulers to choose
to enable ttwu_queue optimization.

skipped in some cases as opposed to always as per Neel.

Pull to receive f3f08c3acf ("sched_ext: Fix incorrect assumption about
migration disabled tasks in task_can_run_on_remote_rq()") which conflicts
with 26176116d9 ("sched_ext: Count SCX_EV_DISPATCH_LOCAL_DSQ_OFFLINE in
the right spot") in for-6.15.
While fixing migration disabled task handling, 3296682157 ("sched_ext: Fix
migration disabled handling in targeted dispatches") assumed that a
migration disabled task's ->cpus_ptr would only have the pinned CPU. While
this is eventually true for migration disabled tasks that are switched out,
->cpus_ptr update is performed by migrate_disable_switch() which is called
right before context_switch() in __scheduler(). However, the task is
enqueued earlier during pick_next_task() via put_prev_task_scx(), so there
is a race window where another CPU can see the task on a DSQ.
If the CPU tries to dispatch the migration disabled task while in that
window, task_allowed_on_cpu() will succeed and task_can_run_on_remote_rq()
will subsequently trigger SCHED_WARN(is_migration_disabled()).

Pull to receive:
- 2fa0fbeb69 ("sched_ext: Implement auto local dispatching of migration disabled tasks")
- 3296682157 ("sched_ext: Fix migration disabled handling in targeted dispatches")
as planned for-6.15 changes depend on them (e.g. adding event counter for
implicit migration disabled task handling).
A dispatch operation that can target a specific local DSQ -
scx_bpf_dsq_move_to_local() or scx_bpf_dsq_move() - checks whether the task
can be migrated to the target CPU using task_can_run_on_remote_rq(). If the
task can't be migrated to the targeted CPU, it is bounced through a global
DSQ.
task_can_run_on_remote_rq() assumes that the task is on a CPU that's
different from the targeted CPU but the callers doesn't uphold the
assumption and may call the function when the task is already on the target
CPU. When such task has migration disabled, task_can_run_on_remote_rq() ends
up returning %false incorrectly unnecessarily bouncing the task to a global
DSQ.
Fix it by updating the callers to only call task_can_run_on_remote_rq() when
the task is on a different CPU than the target CPU. As this is a bit subtle,
for clarity and documentation:
- Make task_can_run_on_remote_rq() trigger SCHED_WARN_ON() if the task is on
the same CPU as the target CPU.
- is_migration_disabled() test in task_can_run_on_remote_rq() cannot trigger
if the task is on a different CPU than the target CPU as the preceding
task_allowed_on_cpu() test should fail beforehand. Convert the test into
SCHED_WARN_ON().

Migration disabled tasks are special and pinned to their previous CPUs. They
tripped up some unsuspecting BPF schedulers as their ->nr_cpus_allowed may
not agree with the bits set in ->cpus_ptr. Make it easier for BPF schedulers

Scheduling a task with SCX_SLICE_DFL unintentionally would be a source

scx_move_task() is called from sched_move_task() and tells the BPF scheduler
that cgroup migration is being committed. sched_move_task() is used by both

autogroup migrations by testing the destination cgroup and PF_EXITING but
this is not enough. In fact, without explicitly tagging the thread which is
doing the cgroup migration, there is no good way to tell apart
scx_move_task() invocations for racing migration to the root cgroup and an
autogroup migration.
This led to scx_move_task() incorrectly ignoring a migration from non-root

Pull trace fing buffer fix from Steven Rostedt:
"Fix atomic64 operations on some architectures for the tracing ring
buffer:
- Have emulating atomic64 use arch_spin_locks instead of
raw_spin_locks
The tracing ring buffer events have a small timestamp that holds
the delta between itself and the event before it. But this can be
tricky to update when interrupts come in. It originally just set
the deltas to zero for events that interrupted the adding of
another event which made all the events in the interrupt have the
same timestamp as the event it interrupted. This was not suitable
for many tools, so it was eventually fixed. But that fix required
adding an atomic64 cmpxchg on the timestamp in cases where an event
was added while another event was in the process of being added.
Originally, for 32 bit architectures, the manipulation of the 64
bit timestamp was done by a structure that held multiple 32bit
words to hold parts of the timestamp and a counter. But as updates
to the ring buffer were done, maintaining this became too complex
and was replaced by the atomic64 generic operations which are now
used by both 64bit and 32bit architectures. Shortly after that, it
was reported that riscv32 and other 32 bit architectures that just
used the generic atomic64 were locking up. This was because the
generic atomic64 operations defined in lib/atomic64.c uses a
raw_spin_lock() to emulate an atomic64 operation. The problem here
was that raw_spin_lock() can also be traced by the function tracer
(which is commonly used for debugging raw spin locks). Since the
function tracer uses the tracing ring buffer, which now is being
traced internally, this was triggering a recursion and setting off
a warning that the spin locks were recusing.
There's no reason for the code that emulates atomic64 operations to
be using raw_spin_locks which have a lot of debugging
infrastructure attached to them (depending on the config options).
Instead it should be using the arch_spin_lock() which does not have
any infrastructure attached to them and is used by low level
infrastructure like RCU locks, lockdep and of course tracing. Using
arch_spin_lock()s fixes this issue.
- Do not trace in NMI if the architecture uses emulated atomic64
operations
Another issue with using the emulated atomic64 operations that uses
spin locks to emulate the atomic64 operations is that they cannot
be used in NMI context. As an NMI can trigger while holding the
atomic64 spin locks it can try to take the same lock and cause a
deadlock.
Have the ring buffer fail recording events if in NMI context and
the architecture uses the emulated atomic64 operations"

exit. The calltime and rettime were stored in the generic structures
that were used for the mechanisms to add an entry and exit callback.
Now that function graph infrastructure is used by other subsystems
than just the tracer, the calltime and rettime are not needed for
them. Remove the calltime and rettime from the generic fgraph
infrastructure and have the callers that require them handle them"

fgraph: Remove calltime and rettime from generic operations
Pull tracing updates from Steven Rostedt:
- Cleanup with guard() and free() helpers
There were several places in the code that had a lot of "goto out" in
the error paths to either unlock a lock or free some memory that was
allocated. But this is error prone. Convert the code over to use the
guard() and free() helpers that let the compiler unlock locks or free
memory when the function exits.
- Update the Rust tracepoint code to use the C code too
There was some duplication of the tracepoint code for Rust that did
the same logic as the C code. Add a helper that makes it possible for
both algorithms to use the same logic in one place.
- Add poll to trace event hist files
It is useful to know when an event is triggered, or even with some
filtering. Since hist files of events get updated when active and the
event is triggered, allow applications to poll the hist file and wake
up when an event is triggered. This will let the application know
that the event it is waiting for happened.
- Add :mod: command to enable events for current or future modules
The function tracer already has a way to enable functions to be
traced in modules by writing ":mod:<module>" into set_ftrace_filter.
That will enable either all the functions for the module if it is
loaded, or if it is not, it will cache that command, and when the
module is loaded that matches <module>, its functions will be
enabled. This also allows init functions to be traced. But currently
events do not have that feature.
Add the command where if ':mod:<module>' is written into set_event,
then either all the modules events are enabled if it is loaded, or
cache it so that the module's events are enabled when it is loaded.
This also works from the kernel command line, where
"trace_event=:mod:<module>", when the module is loaded at boot up,
its events will be enabled then.

Pull fsnotify pre-content notification support from Jan Kara:
"This introduces a new fsnotify event (FS_PRE_ACCESS) that gets
generated before a file contents is accessed.
The event is synchronous so if there is listener for this event, the
kernel waits for reply. On success the execution continues as usual,
on failure we propagate the error to userspace. This allows userspace
to fill in file content on demand from slow storage. The context in
which the events are generated has been picked so that we don't hold
any locks and thus there's no risk of a deadlock for the userspace
handler.
The new pre-content event is available only for users with global
CAP_SYS_ADMIN capability (similarly to other parts of fanotify
functionality) and it is an administrator responsibility to make sure
the userspace event handler doesn't do stupid stuff that can DoS the
system.
Based on your feedback from the last submission, fsnotify code has
been improved and now file->f_mode encodes whether pre-content event
needs to be generated for the file so the fast path when nobody wants
pre-content event for the file just grows the additional file->f_mode
check. As a bonus this also removes the checks whether the old
FS_ACCESS event needs to be generated from the fast path. Also the
place where the event is generated during page fault has been moved so
now filemap_fault() generates the event if and only if there is no
uptodate folio in the page cache.
Also we have dropped FS_PRE_MODIFY event as current real-world users
of the pre-content functionality don't really use it so let's start
with the minimal useful feature set"

- Improved handling of LSM "secctx" strings through lsm_context struct
The LSM secctx string interface is from an older time when only one
LSM was supported, migrate over to the lsm_context struct to better
support the different LSMs we now have and make it easier to support
new LSMs in the future.
These changes explain the Rust, VFS, and networking changes in the
diffstat.
- Only build lsm_audit.c if CONFIG_SECURITY and CONFIG_AUDIT are
enabled
Small tweak to be a bit smarter about when we build the LSM's common
audit helpers.
- Check for absurdly large policies from userspace in SafeSetID
SafeSetID policies rules are fairly small, basically just "UID:UID",
it easy to impose a limit of KMALLOC_MAX_SIZE on policy writes which
helps quiet a number of syzbot related issues. While work is being
done to address the syzbot issues through other mechanisms, this is a
trivial and relatively safe fix that we can do now.

of some function parameters, removing redundant assignments, and
local variable renames to improve readability.

The function graph infrastructure is now generic so that kretprobes,
fprobes and BPF can use it. But there is still some leftover logic that
only the function graph tracer itself uses. This is the calculation of the
calltime and return time of the functions. The calculation of the calltime
has been moved into the function graph tracer and those users that need it
so that it doesn't cause overhead to the other users. But the return
function timestamp was still called.
Instead of just moving the taking of the timestamp into the function graph
trace remove the calltime and rettime completely from the ftrace_graph_ret
structure. Instead, move it into the function graph return entry event
structure and this also moves all the calltime and rettime logic out of
the generic fgraph.c code and into the tracing code that uses it.
This has been reported to decrease the overhead by ~27%.

Pull kthread updates from Frederic Weisbecker:
"Kthreads affinity follow either of 4 existing different patterns:
1) Per-CPU kthreads must stay affine to a single CPU and never
execute relevant code on any other CPU. This is currently handled
by smpboot code which takes care of CPU-hotplug operations.
Affinity here is a correctness constraint.
2) Some kthreads _have_ to be affine to a specific set of CPUs and
can't run anywhere else. The affinity is set through
kthread_bind_mask() and the subsystem takes care by itself to
handle CPU-hotplug operations. Affinity here is assumed to be a
correctness constraint.
3) Per-node kthreads _prefer_ to be affine to a specific NUMA node.
This is not a correctness constraint but merely a preference in
terms of memory locality. kswapd and kcompactd both fall into this
category. The affinity is set manually like for any other task and
CPU-hotplug is supposed to be handled by the relevant subsystem so
that the task is properly reaffined whenever a given CPU from the
node comes up. Also care should be taken so that the node affinity
doesn't cross isolated (nohz_full) cpumask boundaries.
4) Similar to the previous point except kthreads have a _preferred_
affinity different than a node. Both RCU boost kthreads and RCU
exp kworkers fall into this category as they refer to "RCU nodes"
from a distinctly distributed tree.
Currently the preferred affinity patterns (3 and 4) have at least 4
identified users, with more or less success when it comes to handle
CPU-hotplug operations and CPU isolation. Each of which do it in its
own ad-hoc way.
This is an infrastructure proposal to handle this with the following
API changes:
- kthread_create_on_node() automatically affines the created kthread
to its target node unless it has been set as per-cpu or bound with
kthread_bind[_mask]() before the first wake-up.
- kthread_affine_preferred() is a new function that can be called
right after kthread_create_on_node() to specify a preferred
affinity different than the specified node.
When the preferred affinity can't be applied because the possible
targets are offline or isolated (nohz_full), the kthread is affine to
the housekeeping CPUs (which means to all online CPUs most of the time
or only the non-nohz_full CPUs when nohz_full= is set).
kswapd, kcompactd, RCU boost kthreads and RCU exp kworkers have been
converted, along with a few old drivers.
Summary of the changes:
- Consolidate a bunch of ad-hoc implementations of
kthread_run_on_cpu()
- Introduce task_cpu_fallback_mask() that defines the default last
resort affinity of a task to become nohz_full aware
- Add some correctness check to ensure kthread_bind() is always
called before the first kthread wake up.
- Default affine kthread to its preferred node.
- Convert kswapd / kcompactd and remove their halfway working ad-hoc
affinity implementation
- Implement kthreads preferred affinity
- Unify kthread worker and kthread API's style
- Convert RCU kthreads to the new API and remove the ad-hoc affinity
implementation"

Pull ftrace updates from Steven Rostedt:
- Have fprobes built on top of function graph infrastructure
The fprobe logic is an optimized kprobe that uses ftrace to attach to
functions when a probe is needed at the start or end of the function.
The fprobe and kretprobe logic implements a similar method as the
function graph tracer to trace the end of the function. That is to
hijack the return address and jump to a trampoline to do the trace
when the function exits. To do this, a shadow stack needs to be
created to store the original return address. Fprobes and function
graph do this slightly differently. Fprobes (and kretprobes) has
slots per callsite that are reserved to save the return address. This
is fine when just a few points are traced. But users of fprobes, such
as BPF programs, are starting to add many more locations, and this
method does not scale.
The function graph tracer was created to trace all functions in the
kernel. In order to do this, when function graph tracing is started,
every task gets its own shadow stack to hold the return address that
is going to be traced. The function graph tracer has been updated to
allow multiple users to use its infrastructure. Now have fprobes be
one of those users. This will also allow for the fprobe and kretprobe
methods to trace the return address to become obsolete. With new
technologies like CFI that need to know about these methods of
hijacking the return address, going toward a solution that has only
one method of doing this will make the kernel less complex.
- Cleanup with guard() and free() helpers
There were several places in the code that had a lot of "goto out" in
the error paths to either unlock a lock or free some memory that was
allocated. But this is error prone. Convert the code over to use the
guard() and free() helpers that let the compiler unlock locks or free
memory when the function exits.
- Remove disabling of interrupts in the function graph tracer
When function graph tracer was first introduced, it could race with
interrupts and NMIs. To prevent that race, it would disable
interrupts and not trace NMIs. But the code has changed to allow NMIs
and also interrupts. This change was done a long time ago, but the
disabling of interrupts was never removed. Remove the disabling of
interrupts in the function graph tracer is it is not needed. This
greatly improves its performance.
- Allow the :mod: command to enable tracing module functions on the
kernel command line.
The function tracer already has a way to enable functions to be
traced in modules by writing ":mod:<module>" into set_ftrace_filter.
That will enable either all the functions for the module if it is
loaded, or if it is not, it will cache that command, and when the
module is loaded that matches <module>, its functions will be
enabled. This also allows init functions to be traced. But currently
events do not have that feature.
Because enabling function tracing can be done very early at boot up
(before scheduling is enabled), the commands that can be done when
function tracing is started is limited. Having the ":mod:" command to
trace module functions as they are loaded is very useful. Update the
kernel command line function filtering to allow it.

Pull trace ring-buffer updates from Steven Rostedt:
- Clean up the __rb_map_vma() logic
The logic of __rb_map_vma() has a error check with WARN_ON() that
makes sure that the index does not go past the end of the array of
buffers. The test in the loop pretty much guarantees that it will
never happen, but since the relation of the variables used is a
little complex, the WARN_ON() check was added. It was noticed that
the array was dereferenced before this check and if the logic does
break and for some reason the logic goes past the array, there will
be an out of bounds access here. Move the access to after the
WARN_ON().
- Consolidate how the ring buffer is determined to be empty
Currently there's two ways that are used to determine if the ring
buffer is empty. One relies on the status of the commit and reader
pages and what was read, and the other is on what was written vs what
was read. By using the number of entries (written) method, it can be
used for reading events that are out of the kernel's control (what
pKVM will use). Move to this method to make it easier to implement a
pKVM ring buffer that the kernel can read.

Pull interrupt subsystem updates from Thomas Gleixner:
- Consolidate the machine_kexec_mask_interrupts() by providing a
generic implementation and replacing the copy & pasta orgy in the
relevant architectures.
- Prevent unconditional operations on interrupt chips during kexec
shutdown, which can trigger warnings in certain cases when the
underlying interrupt has been shut down before.
- Make the enforcement of interrupt handling in interrupt context
unconditionally available, so that it actually works for non x86
related interrupt chips. The earlier enablement for ARM GIC chips set
the required chip flag, but did not notice that the check was hidden
behind a config switch which is not selected by ARM[64].
- Decrapify the handling of deferred interrupt affinity setting.
Some interrupt chips require that affinity changes are made from the
context of handling an interrupt to avoid certain race conditions.
For x86 this was the default, but with interrupt remapping this
requirement was lifted and a flag was introduced which tells the core
code that affinity changes can be done in any context. Unrestricted
affinity changes are the default for the majority of interrupt chips.
RISCV has the requirement to add the deferred mode to one of it's
interrupt controllers, but with the original implementation this
would require to add the any context flag to all other RISC-V
interrupt chips. That's backwards, so reverse the logic and require
that chips, which need the deferred mode have to be marked
accordingly. That avoids chasing the 'sane' chips and marking them.
- Add multi-node support to the Loongarch AVEC interrupt controller
driver.
- The usual tiny cleanups, fixes and improvements all over the place.
