Pull scheduler updates from Ingo Molnar:

 - Improve the scalability of the CFS bandwidth unthrottling logic with
   large number of CPUs.

 - Fix &amp; rework various cpuidle routines, simplify interaction with the
   generic scheduler code. Add __cpuidle methods as noinstr to objtool's
   noinstr detection and fix boatloads of cpuidle bugs &amp; quirks.

 - Add new ABI: introduce MEMBARRIER_CMD_GET_REGISTRATIONS, to query
   previously issued registrations.

 - Limit scheduler slice duration to the sysctl_sched_latency period, to
   improve scheduling granularity with a large number of SCHED_IDLE
   tasks.

 - Debuggability enhancement on sys_exit(): warn about disabled IRQs,
   but also enable them to prevent a cascade of followup problems and
   repeat warnings.

 - Fix the rescheduling logic in prio_changed_dl().

 - Micro-optimize cpufreq and sched-util methods.

 - Micro-optimize ttwu_runnable()

 - Micro-optimize the idle-scanning in update_numa_stats(),
   select_idle_capacity() and steal_cookie_task().

 - Update the RSEQ code &amp; self-tests

 - Constify various scheduler methods

 - Remove unused methods

 - Refine __init tags

 - Documentation updates

 - Misc other cleanups, fixes

<title>arm_pmu: fix event CPU filtering</title>

Janne reports that perf has been broken on Apple M1 as of commit:

  bd27568117664b8b ("perf: Rewrite core context handling")

That commit replaced the pmu::filter_match() callback with
pmu::filter(), whose return value has the opposite polarity, with true
implying events should be ignored rather than scheduled. While an
attempt was made to update the logic in armv8pmu_filter() and
armpmu_filter() accordingly, the return value remains inverted in a
couple of cases:

* If the arm_pmu does not have an arm_pmu::filter() callback,
  armpmu_filter() will always return whether the CPU is supported rather
  than whether the CPU is not supported.

  As a result, the perf core will not schedule events on supported CPUs,
  resulting in a loss of events. Additionally, the perf core will
  attempt to schedule events on unsupported CPUs, but this will be
  rejected by armpmu_add(), which may result in a loss of events from
  other PMUs on those unsupported CPUs.

* If the arm_pmu does have an arm_pmu::filter() callback, and
  armpmu_filter() is called on a CPU which is not supported by the
  arm_pmu, armpmu_filter() will return false rather than true.

  As a result, the perf core will attempt to schedule events on
  unsupported CPUs, but this will be rejected by armpmu_add(), which may
  result in a loss of events from other PMUs on those unsupported CPUs.

This means a loss of events can be seen with any arm_pmu driver, but
with the ARMv8 PMUv3 driver (which is the only arm_pmu driver with an
arm_pmu::filter() callback) the event loss will be more limited and may
go unnoticed, which is how this issue evaded testing so far.

Fix the CPU filtering by performing this consistently in
armpmu_filter(), and remove the redundant arm_pmu::filter() callback and
armv8pmu_filter() implementation.

Commit bd2756811766 also silently removed the CHAIN event filtering from
armv8pmu_filter(), which will be addressed by a separate patch without
using the filter callback.

Pull perf events updates from Ingo Molnar:

 - Thoroughly rewrite the data structures that implement perf task
   context handling, with the goal of fixing various quirks and
   unfeatures both in already merged, and in upcoming proposed code.

   The old data structure is the per task and per cpu
   perf_event_contexts:

         task_struct::perf_events_ctxp[] &lt;-&gt; perf_event_context &lt;-&gt; perf_cpu_context
              ^                                 |    ^     |           ^
              `---------------------------------'    |     `--&gt; pmu ---'
                                                     v           ^
                                                perf_event ------'

   In this new design this is replaced with a single task context and a
   single CPU context, plus intermediate data-structures:

         task_struct::perf_event_ctxp -&gt; perf_event_context &lt;- perf_cpu_context
              ^                           |   ^ ^

__hw_perf_event_init() already calls armpmu-&gt;map_event() callback, and also
returns its error code including -ENOENT, along with a debug callout. Hence
an additional armpmu-&gt;map_event() check for -ENOENT is redundant.

<title>arm_pmu: rework ACPI probing</title>
<updated>2022-11-07T16:16:20+00:00</updated>

<id>fe40ffdb7656d1f9c42dd402740765ff8b418b17</id>
<content type='text'>
The current ACPI PMU probing logic tries to associate PMUs with CPUs
when the CPU is first brought online, in order to handle late hotplug,
though PMUs are only registered during early boot, and so for late
hotplugged CPUs this can only associate the CPU with an existing PMU.

We tried to be clever and the have the arm_pmu_acpi_cpu_starting()
callback allocate a struct arm_pmu when no matching instance is found,
in order to avoid duplication of logic. However, as above this doesn't
do anything useful for late hotplugged CPUs, and this requires us to
allocate memory in an atomic context, which is especially problematic
for PREEMPT_RT, as reported by Valentin and Pierre.

This patch reworks the probing to detect PMUs for all online CPUs in the
arm_pmu_acpi_probe() function, which is more aligned with how DT probing
works. The arm_pmu_acpi_cpu_starting() callback only tries to associate
CPUs with an existing arm_pmu instance, avoiding the problem of
allocating in atomic context.

Note that as we didn't previously register PMUs for late-hotplugged
CPUs, this change doesn't result in a loss of existing functionality,
though we will now warn when we cannot associate a CPU with a PMU.

This change allows us to pull the hotplug callback registration into the
arm_pmu_acpi_probe() function, as we no longer need the callbacks to be
invoked shortly after probing the boot CPUs, and can register it without
invoking the calls.

For the moment the arm_pmu_acpi_init() initcall remains to register the
SPE PMU, though in future this should probably be moved elsewhere (e.g.
the arm64 ACPI init code), since this doesn't need to be tied to the
regular CPU PMU code.

<title>perf: Rewrite core context handling</title>
<updated>2022-10-27T18:12:16+00:00</updated>

<id>bd27568117664b8b3e259721393df420ed51f57b</id>
<content type='text'>
There have been various issues and limitations with the way perf uses
(task) contexts to track events. Most notable is the single hardware
PMU task context, which has resulted in a number of yucky things (both
proposed and merged).

Notably:
 - HW breakpoint PMU
 - ARM big.little PMU / Intel ADL PMU
 - Intel Branch Monitoring PMU
 - AMD IBS PMU
 - S390 cpum_cf PMU
 - PowerPC trace_imc PMU

*Current design:*

Currently we have a per task and per cpu perf_event_contexts:

  task_struct::perf_events_ctxp[] &lt;-&gt; perf_event_context &lt;-&gt; perf_cpu_context
       ^                                 |    ^     |           ^
       `---------------------------------'    |     `--&gt; pmu ---'
                                              v           ^
                                         perf_event ------'

Each task has an array of pointers to a perf_event_context. Each
perf_event_context has a direct relation to a PMU and a group of
events for that PMU. The task related perf_event_context's have a
pointer back to that task.

Each PMU has a per-cpu pointer to a per-cpu perf_cpu_context, which
includes a perf_event_context, which again has a direct relation to
that PMU, and a group of events for that PMU.

The perf_cpu_context also tracks which task context is currently
associated with that CPU and includes a few other things like the
hrtimer for rotation etc.

Each perf_event is then associated with its PMU and one
perf_event_context.

*Proposed design:*

New design proposed by this patch reduce to a single task context and
a single CPU context but adds some intermediate data-structures:

  task_struct::perf_event_ctxp -&gt; perf_event_context &lt;- perf_cpu_context
       ^                           |   ^ ^
       `---------------------------'   | |
                                       | |    perf_cpu_pmu_context &lt;--.
                                       | `----.    ^                  |
                                       |      |    |                  |
                                       |      v    v                  |
                                       | ,--&gt; perf_event_pmu_context  |
                                       | |                            |
                                       | |                            |
                                       v v                            |
                                  perf_event ---&gt; pmu ----------------'

With the new design, perf_event_context will hold all events for all
pmus in the (respective pinned/flexible) rbtrees. This can be achieved
by adding pmu to rbtree key:

  {cpu, pmu, cgroup, group_index}

Each perf_event_context carries a list of perf_event_pmu_context which
is used to hold per-pmu-per-context state. For example, it keeps track
of currently active events for that pmu, a pmu specific task_ctx_data,
a flag to tell whether rotation is required or not etc.

Additionally, perf_cpu_pmu_context is used to hold per-pmu-per-cpu
state like hrtimer details to drive the event rotation, a pointer to
perf_event_pmu_context of currently running task and some other
ancillary information.

Each perf_event is associated to it's pmu, perf_event_context and
perf_event_pmu_context.

Further optimizations to current implementation are possible. For
example, ctx_resched() can be optimized to reschedule only single pmu
events.

Much thanks to Ravi for picking this up and pushing it towards
completion.

the stack requires the unwinder to know the length of the SVE register
to calculate the stack offsets correctly. This was added to the Arm
specific Dwarf spec as the VG pseudo register[1].

Add the vector length at position 46 if it's requested by userspace and
SVE is supported. If it's not supported then fail to open the event.

The vector length must be on each sample because it can be changed
at runtime via a prctl or ptrace call. Also by adding it as a register
rather than a separate attribute, minimal changes will be required in an
unwinder that already indexes into the register list.

In the case where there is only a cycle counter available (i.e.
PMCR_EL0.N is 0) and an event other than CPU cycles is opened, the open
should fail as the event can never possibly be scheduled. However, the
event validation when an event is opened is skipped when the group
leader is opened. Fix this by always validating the group leader events.
