In preparation of hierarchical scheduling support, add @sch to scx_exit()
and friends:
- scx_exit/error() updated to take explicit @sch instead of assuming
scx_root.
- scx_kf_exit/error() added. These are to be used from kfuncs, don't take
@sch and internally determine the scx_sched instance to abort. Currently,
it's always scx_root but once multiple scheduler support is in place, it
will be the scx_sched instance that invoked the kfunc. This simplifies
many callsites and defers scx_sched lookup until error is triggered.
- @sch is propagated to ops_cpu_valid() and ops_sanitize_err(). The CPU
validity conditions in ops_cpu_valid() are factored into __cpu_valid() to
implement kf_cpu_valid() which is the counterpart to scx_kf_exit/error().
- All users are converted. Most conversions are straightforward.
check_rq_for_timeouts() and scx_softlockup() are updated to use explicit
rcu_dereference*(scx_root) for safety as they may execute asynchronous to
the exit path. scx_tick() is also updated to use rcu_dereference(). While
not strictly necessary due to the preceding scx_enabled() test and IRQ
disabled context, this removes the subtlety at no noticeable cost.

__scx_exit() is the base exit implementation and there are three wrappers on
top of it - scx_exit(), __scx_error() and scx_error(). This is more
confusing than helpful especially given that there are only a couple users
of scx_exit() and __scx_error(). To simplify the situation:
- Make __scx_exit() take va_list and rename it to scx_vexit(). This is to
ease implementing more complex extensions on top.
- Make scx_exit() a varargs wrapper around __scx_exit(). scx_exit() now
takes both @kind and @exit_code.
- Convert existing scx_exit() and __scx_error() users to use the new
scx_exit().

Where in wait_task_inactive() we were regularly hitting the
queued case, which sets a 1 tick timeout, which when called
multiple times in a row, accumulates quickly into a long
delay.
I noticed disabling the DELAY_DEQUEUE sched feature recovered
the performance, and it seems the newly create tasks are usually
sched_delayed and left on the runqueue.
So in wait_task_inactive() when we see the task
p->se.sched_delayed, manually dequeue the sched_delayed task
with DEQUEUE_DELAYED, so we don't have to constantly wait a
tick.

SCX_HAS_OP() tests scx_root->has_op bitmap. The bitmap is currently in a

scheduler and cleared while unloading, and thus can be tested anytime.
However, scx_root will be switched to dynamic allocation and thus won't
always be deferenceable.
Most usages of SCX_HAS_OP() are already protected by scx_enabled() either
directly or indirectly (e.g. through a task which is on SCX). However, there
are a couple places that could try to dereference NULL scx_root. Update them
so that scx_root is guaranteed to be valid before SCX_HAS_OP() is called.
- In handle_hotplug(), test whether scx_root is NULL before doing anything
else. This is safe because scx_root updates will be protected by
cpus_read_lock().
- In scx_tg_offline(), test scx_cgroup_enabled before invoking SCX_HAS_OP(),

sched/eevdf: Fix se->slice being set to U64_MAX and resulting crash
There is a code path in dequeue_entities() that can set the slice of a
sched_entity to U64_MAX, which sometimes results in a crash.
The offending case is when dequeue_entities() is called to dequeue a
delayed group entity, and then the entity's parent's dequeue is delayed.
In that case:
1. In the if (entity_is_task(se)) else block at the beginning of
dequeue_entities(), slice is set to
cfs_rq_min_slice(group_cfs_rq(se)). If the entity was delayed, then
it has no queued tasks, so cfs_rq_min_slice() returns U64_MAX.
2. The first for_each_sched_entity() loop dequeues the entity.
3. If the entity was its parent's only child, then the next iteration
tries to dequeue the parent.
4. If the parent's dequeue needs to be delayed, then it breaks from the
first for_each_sched_entity() loop _without updating slice_.
5. The second for_each_sched_entity() loop sets the parent's ->slice to
the saved slice, which is still U64_MAX.
This throws off subsequent calculations with potentially catastrophic
results. A manifestation we saw in production was:
6. In update_entity_lag(), se->slice is used to calculate limit, which
ends up as a huge negative number.
7. limit is used in se->vlag = clamp(vlag, -limit, limit). Because limit
is negative, vlag > limit, so se->vlag is set to the same huge
negative number.
8. In place_entity(), se->vlag is scaled, which overflows and results in
another huge (positive or negative) number.
9. The adjusted lag is subtracted from se->vruntime, which increases or
decreases se->vruntime by a huge number.
10. pick_eevdf() calls entity_eligible()/vruntime_eligible(), which
incorrectly returns false because the vruntime is so far from the
other vruntimes on the queue, causing the
(vruntime - cfs_rq->min_vruntime) * load calulation to overflow.
11. Nothing appears to be eligible, so pick_eevdf() returns NULL.
12. pick_next_entity() tries to dereference the return value of
pick_eevdf() and crashes.
Dumping the cfs_rq states from the core dumps with drgn showed tell-tale
huge vruntime ranges and bogus vlag values, and I also traced se->slice
being set to U64_MAX on live systems (which was usually "benign" since
the rest of the runqueue needed to be in a particular state to crash).
Fix it in dequeue_entities() by always setting slice from the first
non-empty cfs_rq.

Some kfuncs provided by sched_ext may need to operate on a struct rq,
but they can be invoked from various contexts, specifically, different
scx callbacks.
While some of these callbacks are invoked with a particular rq already
locked, others are not. This makes it impossible for a kfunc to reliably
determine whether it's safe to access a given rq, triggering potential
bugs or unsafe behaviors, see for example [1].
To address this, track the currently locked rq whenever a sched_ext
callback is invoked via SCX_CALL_OP*().
This allows kfuncs that need to operate on an arbitrary rq to retrieve
the currently locked one and apply the appropriate action as needed.

annoying than helpful.
This makes SCX_OPS_HAS_CGROUP_WEIGHT unnecessary. Mark it for
deprecation

SCX_EV_ENQ_SLICE_DFL gives the impression that the event only occurs
when the tasks were enqueued, which seems not accurate. What it actually
means is the refilling with defalt slice, and this can occur either when
enqueue or pick_task. Let's change the variable to
SCX_EV_REFILL_SLICE_DFL.

Notice that ignore_dl_rate_limit() need not piggy back on the
limits_changed handling to achieve its goal (which is to enforce a
frequency update before its due time).
Namely, if sugov_should_update_freq() is updated to check
sg_policy->need_freq_update and return 'true' if it is set when
sg_policy->limits_changed is not set, ignore_dl_rate_limit() may
set the former directly instead of setting the latter, so it can
avoid hitting the memory barrier in sugov_should_update_freq().
Update the code accordingly.

The handling of the limits_changed flag in struct sugov_policy needs to
be explicitly synchronized to ensure that cpufreq policy limits updates
will not be missed in some cases.
Without that synchronization it is theoretically possible that
the limits_changed update in sugov_should_update_freq() will be
reordered with respect to the reads of the policy limits in
cpufreq_driver_resolve_freq() and in that case, if the limits_changed
update in sugov_limits() clobbers the one in sugov_should_update_freq(),
the new policy limits may not take effect for a long time.
Likewise, the limits_changed update in sugov_limits() may theoretically
get reordered with respect to the updates of the policy limits in
cpufreq_set_policy() and if sugov_should_update_freq() runs between
them, the policy limits change may be missed.
To ensure that the above situations will not take place, add memory
barriers preventing the reordering in question from taking place and
add READ_ONCE() and WRITE_ONCE() annotations around all of the
limits_changed flag updates to prevent the compiler from messing up
with that code.

Commit 8e461a1cb4 ("cpufreq: schedutil: Fix superfluous updates caused
by need_freq_update") modified sugov_should_update_freq() to set the
need_freq_update flag only for drivers with CPUFREQ_NEED_UPDATE_LIMITS
set, but that flag generally needs to be set when the policy limits
change because the driver callback may need to be invoked for the new
limits to take effect.
However, if the return value of cpufreq_driver_resolve_freq() after
applying the new limits is still equal to the previously selected
frequency, the driver callback needs to be invoked only in the case
when CPUFREQ_NEED_UPDATE_LIMITS is set (which means that the driver
specifically wants its callback to be invoked every time the policy
limits change).
Update the code accordingly to avoid missing policy limits changes for
drivers without CPUFREQ_NEED_UPDATE_LIMITS.

Mike reports that commit 6d71a9c616 ("sched/fair: Fix EEVDF entity
placement bug causing scheduling lag") relies on commit 4423af84b2
("sched/fair: optimize the PLACE_LAG when se->vlag is zero") to not
trip a WARN in place_entity().
What happens is that the lag of the very last entity is 0 per
definition -- the average of one element matches the value of that
element. Therefore place_entity() will match the condition skipping
the lag adjustment:
if (sched_feat(PLACE_LAG) && cfs_rq->nr_queued && se->vlag) {
Without the 'se->vlag' condition -- it will attempt to adjust the zero
lag even though we're inserting into an empty tree.
Notably, we should have failed the 'cfs_rq->nr_queued' condition, but
don't because they didn't get updated.
Additionally, move update_load_add() after placement() as is
consistent with other place_entity() users -- this change is
non-functional, place_entity() does not use cfs_rq->load.
