Commit 16a03c71bba0 ("cpufreq: schedutil: Merge initialization code of
sg_cpu in single loop") merged the per-CPU initialization and the
utilization-hook registration into a single loop in sugov_start().

For a shared cpufreq policy this re-introduces the race originally fixed
by commit ab2f7cf141aa ("cpufreq: schedutil: Fix sugov_start() versus
sugov_update_shared() race").

The scheduler's util path reaches the hook under RCU-sched and never takes
policy-&gt;rwsem, so the rwsem held across sugov_start() cannot serialize the
two. Once the first CPU's hook is published, sugov_update_shared() may run
and, via sugov_next_freq_shared(), read/write each sibling sugov_cpu
(iowait_boost, util, bw_min, ...) concurrently with the memset() still
initializing them, with no lock common to both sides: the update side holds
sg_policy-&gt;update_lock while the init side holds only policy-&gt;rwsem, which
the scheduler's util path never takes.

The walk only accesses scalar members, never a pointer like -&gt;sg_policy,
so it does not crash today; it merely uses stale (or zero on first start)
values that skew the frequency selection and tracepoints. It is still a
genuine data race, and a latent crash once any pointer member is
dereferenced there.

Restore the two-phase approach: initialize all per-CPU structures first,
and only then publish the per-CPU utilization update hooks.

Pull sched_ext fixes from Tejun Heo:

 - Lifecycle fixes for the new sub-scheduler support: two
   use-after-frees and an enable-failure path that left a
   half-initialized sub-scheduler linked.

 - Two dispatch-path locking bugs: a spurious scheduler abort from a
   migration race, and a lockdep splat from stale runqueue-lock
   tracking.

 - Callback and task-state fixes: stale scheduler-owned state on a task
   leaving SCX, a weight callback running after disable, and a bogus
   warning on core-scheduling forced idle.

 - On nohz_full, finite-slice tasks could miss the tick that expires
   their slice. Enable it when such a task is picked, with a selftest.

 - Smaller fixes: userspace CPU-mask helpers, ratelimited deprecation
   warnings, docs and a sparse annotation.

When switching a task's sched_class away from sched_ext, we get the
following sequence of events in __sched_setscheduler():

sched_change_begin()
  switched_from_scx()
    scx_disable_task(p)
      ops.disable(p)
__setscheduler_params()
  set_load_weight()
    reweight_task_scx(p)
      ops.set_weight(p)
p-&gt;sched_class = next_class;
sched_change_end()
  ...

Notably, ops.set_weight() is called _after_ ops.disable().
This violates the expected semantics of the callbacks, the expectation
being that ops.disable() can only be followed by ops.exit_task() or
ops.enable().

Skipping the weight adjustment for disabled tasks should be harmless
since the weight will be recalculated in scx_enable_task() if the task
ever rejoins SCX.

scx_alloc_and_add_sched() publishes @sch through ops-&gt;priv before allocating
the cgroup path. If that allocation fails, the unwind path clears ops-&gt;priv
and frees @sch immediately. scx_prog_sched() callers can dereference
ops-&gt;priv from RCU context the moment it is set, so freeing without a grace
period can use-after-free a concurrent kfunc caller.

Move the publication below the cgroup path allocation so that every failure
path after publication frees @sch through kobject_put(), whose release path
defers the freeing by a grace period.

scx_sub_enable_workfn() has several failure paths that only return an errno
(e.g. -ENOMEM from an allocation) and jump to err_disable without calling
scx_error(). scx_flush_disable_work() runs the disable, and thus ops.exit(),
only when an error has been recorded, so an errno-only failure leaves the
half-initialized sub-scheduler linked.

Record an error at the err_disable sink so every errno-only failure runs the
disable path.

set_next_task_scx() updates the tick dependency before __schedule()
updates rq-&gt;curr. When switching from a non-EXT task, such as idle, to
an EXT task with a finite slice, sched_update_tick_dependency() checks
the outgoing task and can allow the tick to remain stopped.

The dependency can also be lost without a slice-type transition. After a
finite-slice task leaves the CPU idle, the enqueue path can clear the
dependency against the idle rq-&gt;curr. SCX_RQ_CAN_STOP_TICK still records
a finite slice, so another finite task skips the transition block and
can run without the ticks needed to expire its slice.

The reverse mismatch can also happen when the last finite-slice EXT task
is dequeued: sub_nr_running() updates the dependency before rq-&gt;curr
changes, so the outgoing task state can keep the dependency set after
the CPU goes idle.

Fix this by unconditionally enabling the scheduler tick whenever a
finite-slice EXT task is selected on a nohz_full CPU. Moreover, when the
last runnable EXT task leaves, ignore the outgoing EXT slice state so
the generic scheduler can correctly re-evaluate and clear the tick
dependency.

<title>sched_ext: Preserve rq tracking across local DSQ dispatch</title>

dispatch_to_local_dsq() can run from scx_bpf_dsq_move_to_local() while
ops.dispatch() has recorded the current rq. Moving a task to a local DSQ
may switch to the source or destination rq before synchronously invoking
ops.dequeue() through the following path:

  SCX_CALL_OP(dispatch, rq)
    ops.dispatch()
      scx_bpf_dsq_move_to_local()
        scx_flush_dispatch_buf()
          finish_dispatch()
            dispatch_to_local_dsq()
              scx_dispatch_enqueue()
                local_dsq_post_enq()
                  call_task_dequeue()
                    SCX_CALL_OP_TASK(dequeue, locked_rq, ...)

The nested callback saves the recorded rq and restores it on return. If
the rq tracking does not follow the lock switch, update_locked_rq() can
trigger the following lockdep assertion while restoring an rq which is
no longer held:

  WARNING: kernel/sched/sched.h:1641 at call_task_dequeue+0x160/0x170

Introduce switch_rq_lock() to update the tracking state together with
each rq lock handoff. Use it in dispatch_to_local_dsq(),
move_remote_task_to_local_dsq() and the in-balance paths of
scx_dsq_move(), ensuring that scx_locked_rq() consistently refers to the
rq whose lock is actually held throughout the lock dance.

    __schedule+0x3e7/0x1980

Introduce switch_rq_lock() to update the tracking state together with
each rq lock handoff. Use it in dispatch_to_local_dsq(),
move_remote_task_to_local_dsq() and the in-balance paths of
scx_dsq_move(), ensuring that scx_locked_rq() consistently refers to the
rq whose lock is actually held throughout the lock dance.

<title>sched_ext: Don't warn on core-sched forced idle in put_prev_task_scx()</title>

put_prev_task_scx() warns when a runnable task drops to a lower sched_class
without SCX_OPS_ENQ_LAST, on the assumption that balance_one() would have
kept it running. Core scheduling breaks that: a forced-idle SMT sibling
reschedules through the core_pick fast path in pick_next_task(), which skips
pick_task_scx() and thus balance_one(), so a runnable task can drop to idle
with ENQ_LAST unset.

Gate the warning on sched_cpu_cookie_match(): a cookie mismatch means core
scheduling forced the idle, while a match (or core scheduling off) still
catches a genuine missing-ENQ_LAST drop.

Fixes: 7c65ae81ea86 ("sched_ext: Don't call put_prev_task_scx() before picking the next task")

<title>sched_ext: Pin parent scx_sched across a child sub-scheduler's lifetime</title>

A child sub-scheduler dereferences its parent scx_sched throughout its life,
e.g., in scx_sub_disable() which reparents the child's tasks and calls
parent-&gt;ops.sub_detach() after unlinking from the parent. However, the
parent is pinned only through parent-&gt;sub_kset, which is dropped during
disable. The parent scx_sched can be RCU-freed while a child is still
disabling.

Take a direct reference on the parent in scx_alloc_and_add_sched(), dropped
in scx_sched_free_rcu_work(), so a parent always outlives its descendants.

Pull power management fixes from Rafael Wysocki:
 "These fix the schedutil cpufreq governor and drop a bogus warning
  from the cpuidle core:

   - Remove a misguided warning along with an inaccurate comment
     next to it from the cpuidle core (Rafael Wysocki)

   - Clear need_freq_update as appropriate in the .adjust_perf()
     path of the schedutil cpufreq governor to avoid calling
     cpufreq_driver_adjust_perf() unnecessarily on every scheduler
     utilization update (Zhongqiu Han)"

* tag 'pm-7.2-rc1-2' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/rafael/linux-pm:
  cpuidle: Allow exit latency to exceed target residency
