Pull per signal_struct coredumps from Eric Biederman: "Current coredumps are mixed up with the exit code, the signal handling code, and the ptrace code making coredumps much more complicated than necessary and difficult to follow. This series of changes starts with ptrace_stop and cleans it up, making it easier to follow what is happening in ptrace_stop. Then cleans up the exec interactions with coredumps. Then cleans up the coredump interactions with exit. Finally the coredump interactions with the signal handling code is cleaned up. The first and last changes are bug fixes for minor bugs. I believe the fact that vfork followed by execve can kill the process the called vfork if exec fails is sufficient justification to change the userspace visible behavior. In previous discussions some of these changes were organized differently and individually appeared to make the code base worse. As currently written I believe they all stand on their own as cleanups and bug fixes. Which means that even if the worst should happen and the last change needs to be reverted for some unimaginable reason, the code base will still be improved. If the worst does not happen there are a more cleanups that can be made. Signals that generate coredumps can easily become eligible for short circuit delivery in complete_signal. The entire rendezvous for generating a coredump can move into get_signal. The function force_sig_info_to_task be written in a way that does not modify the signal handling state of the target task (because coredumps are eligible for short circuit delivery). Many of these future cleanups can be done another way but nothing so cleanly as if coredumps become per signal_struct" * 'per_signal_struct_coredumps-for-v5.16' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/ebiederm/user-namespace: coredump: Limit coredumps to a single thread group coredump: Don't perform any cleanups before dumping core exit: Factor coredump_exit_mm out of exit_mm exec: Check for a pending fatal signal instead of core_state ptrace: Remove the unnecessary arguments from arch_ptrace_stop signal: Remove the bogus sigkill_pending in ptrace_stop
Pull thread_info update to move 'cpu' back from task_struct from Kees Cook:
"Cross-architecture update to move task_struct::cpu back into
thread_info on arm64, x86, s390, powerpc, and riscv. All Acked by arch
maintainers.
Quoting Ard Biesheuvel:
'Move task_struct::cpu back into thread_info
Keeping CPU in task_struct is problematic for architectures that
define raw_smp_processor_id() in terms of this field, as it
requires linux/sched.h to be included, which causes a lot of pain
in terms of circular dependencies (aka 'header soup')
This series moves it back into thread_info (where it came from)
for all architectures that enable THREAD_INFO_IN_TASK, addressing
the header soup issue as well as some pointless differences in the
implementations of task_cpu() and set_task_cpu()'"

Pull scheduler updates from Thomas Gleixner: - Revert the printk format based wchan() symbol resolution as it can leak the raw value in case that the symbol is not resolvable. - Make wchan() more robust and work with all kind of unwinders by enforcing that the task stays blocked while unwinding is in progress. - Prevent sched_fork() from accessing an invalid sched_task_group - Improve asymmetric packing logic - Extend scheduler statistics to RT and DL scheduling classes and add statistics for bandwith burst to the SCHED_FAIR class. - Properly account SCHED_IDLE entities - Prevent a potential deadlock when initial priority is assigned to a newly created kthread. A recent change to plug a race between cpuset and __sched_setscheduler() introduced a new lock dependency which is now triggered. Break the lock dependency chain by moving the priority assignment to the thread function. - Fix the idle time reporting in /proc/uptime for NOHZ enabled systems. - Improve idle balancing in general and especially for NOHZ enabled systems. - Provide proper interfaces for live patching so it does not have to fiddle with scheduler internals. - Add cluster aware scheduling support. - A small set of tweaks for RT (irqwork, wait_task_inactive(), various scheduler options and delaying mmdrop) - The usual small tweaks and improvements all over the place * tag 'sched-core-2021-11-01' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/tip/tip: (69 commits) sched/fair: Cleanup newidle_balance sched/fair: Remove sysctl_sched_migration_cost condition sched/fair: Wait before decaying max_newidle_lb_cost sched/fair: Skip update_blocked_averages if we are defering load balance sched/fair: Account update_blocked_averages in newidle_balance cost x86: Fix __get_wchan() for !STACKTRACE sched,x86: Fix L2 cache mask sched/core: Remove rq_relock() sched: Improve wake_up_all_idle_cpus() take #2 irq_work: Also rcuwait for !IRQ_WORK_HARD_IRQ on PREEMPT_RT irq_work: Handle some irq_work in a per-CPU thread on PREEMPT_RT irq_work: Allow irq_work_sync() to sleep if irq_work() no IRQ support. sched/rt: Annotate the RT balancing logic irqwork as IRQ_WORK_HARD_IRQ sched: Add cluster scheduler level for x86 sched: Add cluster scheduler level in core and related Kconfig for ARM64 topology: Represent clusters of CPUs within a die sched: Disable -Wunused-but-set-variable sched: Add wrapper for get_wchan() to keep task blocked x86: Fix get_wchan() to support the ORC unwinder proc: Use task_is_running() for wchan in /proc/$pid/stat ...
Pull locking updates from Thomas Gleixner:
- Move futex code into kernel/futex/ and split up the kitchen sink into
seperate files to make integration of sys_futex_waitv() simpler.
- Add a new sys_futex_waitv() syscall which allows to wait on multiple
futexes.
The main use case is emulating Windows' WaitForMultipleObjects which
allows Wine to improve the performance of Windows Games. Also native
Linux games can benefit from this interface as this is a common wait
pattern for this kind of applications.
- Add context to ww_mutex_trylock() to provide a path for i915 to
rework their eviction code step by step without making lockdep upset
until the final steps of rework are completed. It's also useful for
regulator and TTM to avoid dropping locks in the non contended path.
- Lockdep and might_sleep() cleanups and improvements
- A few improvements for the RT substitutions.
- The usual small improvements and cleanups.

Rename coredump_exit_mm to coredump_task_exit and call it from do_exit before PTRACE_EVENT_EXIT, and before any cleanup work for a task happens. This ensures that an accurate copy of the process can be captured in the coredump as no cleanup for the process happens before the coredump completes. This also ensures that PTRACE_EVENT_EXIT will not be visited by any thread until the coredump is complete. Add a new flag PF_POSTCOREDUMP so that tasks that have passed through coredump_task_exit can be recognized and ignored in zap_process. Now that all of the coredumping happens before exit_mm remove code to test for a coredump in progress from mm_release. Replace "may_ptrace_stop()" with a simple test of "current->ptrace". The other tests in may_ptrace_stop all concern avoiding stopping during a coredump. These tests are no longer necessary as it is now guaranteed that fatal_signal_pending will be set if the code enters ptrace_stop during a coredump. The code in ptrace_stop is guaranteed not to stop if fatal_signal_pending returns true. Until this change "ptrace_event(PTRACE_EVENT_EXIT)" could call ptrace_stop without fatal_signal_pending being true, as signals are dequeued in get_signal before calling do_exit. This is no longer an issue as "ptrace_event(PTRACE_EVENT_EXIT)" is no longer reached until after the coredump completes.

Currently in schedstats we have sum_sleep_runtime and iowait_sum, but there's no metric to show how long the task is in D state. Once a task in D state, it means the task is blocked in the kernel, for example the task may be waiting for a mutex. The D state is more frequent than iowait, and it is more critital than S state. So it is worth to add a metric to measure it.

If we want to use the schedstats facility to trace other sched classes, we
should make it independent of fair sched class. The struct sched_statistics
is the schedular statistics of a task_struct or a task_group. So we can
move it into struct task_struct and struct task_group to achieve the goal.
After the patch, schestats are orgnized as follows,
struct task_struct {
...
struct sched_entity se;
struct sched_rt_entity rt;
struct sched_dl_entity dl;
...
struct sched_statistics stats;
...
};
Regarding the task group, schedstats is only supported for fair group
sched, and a new struct sched_entity_stats is introduced, suggested by
Peter -
struct sched_entity_stats {
struct sched_entity se;
struct sched_statistics stats;
} __no_randomize_layout;
Then with the se in a task_group, we can easily get the stats.
The sched_statistics members may be frequently modified when schedstats is
enabled, in order to avoid impacting on random data which may in the same
cacheline with them, the struct sched_statistics is defined as cacheline
aligned.
As this patch changes the core struct of scheduler, so I verified the
performance it may impact on the scheduler with 'perf bench sched
pipe', suggested by Mel. Below is the result, in which all the values
are in usecs/op.
Before After
kernel.sched_schedstats=0 5.2~5.4 5.2~5.4
kernel.sched_schedstats=1 5.3~5.5 5.3~5.5
[These data is a little difference with the earlier version, that is
because my old test machine is destroyed so I have to use a new
different test machine.]
Almost no impact on the sched performance.
No functional change.
