Hi Linus,
Please pull patches for 6.10. This includes:
- topology_span_sane() optimization from Kyle Meyer;
- fns() rework from Kuan-Wei Chiu (used in
cpumask_local_spread() and other places); and
- headers cleanup from Andy.
This also adds a MAINTAINERS record for bitops API as it's unattended,
and I'd like to follow it closer.
Thanks,
Yury

Summary
* Removed sentinel elements from ctl_table structs in kernel/*
Removing sentinels in ctl_table arrays reduces the build time size and
runtime memory consumed by ~64 bytes per array. Removals for net/, io_uring/,
mm/, ipc/ and security/ are set to go into mainline through their respective
subsystems making the next release the most likely place where the final
series that removes the check for proc_name == NULL will land. This PR adds
to removals already in arch/, drivers/ and fs/.
* Adjusted ctl_table definitions and references to allow constification
Adjustments:
- Removing unused ctl_table function arguments
- Moving non-const elements from ctl_table to ctl_table_header
- Making ctl_table pointers const in ctl_table_root structure
Making the static ctl_table structs const will increase safety by keeping the
pointers to proc_handler functions in .rodata. Though no ctl_tables where
made const in this PR, the ground work for making that possible has started
with these changes sent by Thomas Weißschuh.
Testing
* These changes went into linux-next after v6.9-rc4; giving it a good month of
testing.

In the cgroup v2 CPU subsystem, assuming we have a

# echo 1000000 > /sys/fs/cgroup/test/cpu.max
# echo 1000000 > /sys/fs/cgroup/test/cpu.max.burst
then we check cpu.max and cpu.max.burst:
# cat /sys/fs/cgroup/test/cpu.max
1000000 100000
# cat /sys/fs/cgroup/test/cpu.max.burst

cpu.max.burst:
# echo 2000000 > /sys/fs/cgroup/test/cpu.max
# cat /sys/fs/cgroup/test/cpu.max
2000000 100000
# cat /sys/fs/cgroup/test/cpu.max.burst
1000
... we find that the cpu.max.burst value changed unexpectedly.
In cpu_max_write(), the unit of the burst value returned
by tg_get_cfs_burst() is microseconds, while in cpu_max_write(),
the burst unit used for calculation should be nanoseconds,
which leads to the bug.
To fix it, get the burst value directly from tg->cfs_bandwidth.burst.

Change se->load.weight to se_weight(se) in the calculation for the
initial util_avg to avoid unnecessarily inflating the util_avg by 1024
times.
The reason is that se->load.weight has the unit/scale as the scaled-up
load, while cfs_rg->avg.load_avg has the unit/scale as the true task
weight (as mapped directly from the task's nice/priority value). With
CONFIG_32BIT, the scaled-up load is equal to the true task weight. With
CONFIG_64BIT, the scaled-up load is 1024 times the true task weight.
Thus, the current code may inflate the util_avg by 1024 times. The
follow-up capping will not allow the util_avg value to go wild. But the
calculation should have the correct logic.

housekeeping_setup() checks cpumask_intersects(present, online) to ensure
that the kernel will have at least one housekeeping CPU after smp_init(),
but this doesn't work if the maxcpus= kernel parameter limits the number of
processors available after bootup.
For example, a kernel with "maxcpus=2 nohz_full=0-2" parameters crashes at
boot time on a virtual machine with 4 CPUs.
Change housekeeping_setup() to use cpumask_first_and() and check that the
returned CPU number is valid and less than setup_max_cpus.
Another corner case is "nohz_full=0" on a machine with a single CPU or with
the maxcpus=1 kernel argument. In this case non_housekeeping_mask is empty
and tick_nohz_full_setup() makes no sense. And indeed, the kernel hits the
WARN_ON(tick_nohz_full_running) in tick_sched_do_timer().
And how should the kernel interpret the "nohz_full=" parameter? It should
be silently ignored, but currently cpulist_parse() happily returns the
empty cpumask and this leads to the same problem.
Change housekeeping_setup() to check cpumask_empty(non_housekeeping_mask)
and do nothing in this case.

Documentation/timers/no_hz.rst states that the "nohz_full=" mask must not

08ae95f4fd ("nohz_full: Allow the boot CPU to be nohz_full").
However after:
aae17ebb53 ("workqueue: Avoid using isolated cpus' timers on queue_delayed_work")
the kernel will crash at boot time in this case; housekeeping_any_cpu()
returns an invalid CPU number until smp_init() brings the first
housekeeping CPU up.
Change housekeeping_any_cpu() to check the result of cpumask_any_and() and
return smp_processor_id() in this case.
This is just the simple and backportable workaround which fixes the
symptom, but smp_processor_id() at boot time should be safe at least for
type == HK_TYPE_TIMER, this more or less matches the tick_do_timer_boot_cpu
logic.
There is no worry about cpu_down(); tick_nohz_cpu_down() will not allow to
offline tick_do_timer_cpu (the 1st online housekeeping CPU).

It was possible to have pick_eevdf() return NULL, which then causes a
NULL-deref. This turned out to be due to entity_eligible() returning
falsely negative because of a s64 multiplcation overflow.
Specifically, reweight_eevdf() computes the vlag without considering
the limit placed upon vlag as update_entity_lag() does, and then the
scaling multiplication (remember that weight is 20bit fixed point) can
overflow. This then leads to the new vruntime being weird which then
causes the above entity_eligible() to go side-ways and claim nothing
is eligible.
Thus limit the range of vlag accordingly.
All this was quite rare, but fatal when it does happen.

The generic vtime_task_switch() implementation gets built only
if __ARCH_HAS_VTIME_TASK_SWITCH is not defined, but requires an
architecture to implement arch_vtime_task_switch() callback at
the same time, which is confusing.
Further, arch_vtime_task_switch() is implemented for 32-bit PowerPC
architecture only and vtime_task_switch() generic variant is rather
superfluous.
Simplify the whole vtime_task_switch() wiring by moving the existing
generic implementation to PowerPC.

Many architectures' switch_mm() (e.g. arm64) do not have an smp_mb()
which the core scheduler code has depended upon since commit:
commit 223baf9d17 ("sched: Fix performance regression introduced by mm_cid")
If switch_mm() doesn't call smp_mb(), sched_mm_cid_remote_clear() can
unset the actively used cid when it fails to observe active task after it
sets lazy_put.
There *is* a memory barrier between storing to rq->curr and _return to
userspace_ (as required by membarrier), but the rseq mm_cid has stricter
requirements: the barrier needs to be issued between store to rq->curr
and switch_mm_cid(), which happens earlier than:
- spin_unlock(),
- switch_to().
So it's fine when the architecture switch_mm() happens to have that
barrier already, but less so when the architecture only provides the
full barrier in switch_to() or spin_unlock().
It is a bug in the rseq switch_mm_cid() implementation. All architectures
that don't have memory barriers in switch_mm(), but rather have the full
barrier either in finish_lock_switch() or switch_to() have them too late
for the needs of switch_mm_cid().
Introduce a new smp_mb__after_switch_mm(), defined as smp_mb() in the
generic barrier.h header, and use it in switch_mm_cid() for scheduler
transitions where switch_mm() is expected to provide a memory barrier.
Architectures can override smp_mb__after_switch_mm() if their
switch_mm() implementation provides an implicit memory barrier.
Override it with a no-op on x86 which implicitly provide this memory
barrier by writing to CR3.

SG_OVERLOADED and SG_OVERUTILIZED flags plus the sg_status bitmask are an
unnecessary complication that only make the code harder to read and slower.
We only ever set them separately:

kernel/sched/sched.h: set_rd_overloaded(rq->rd, SG_OVERLOADED);
And use them separately, which results in suboptimal code:
/* update overload indicator if we are at root domain */
set_rd_overloaded(env->dst_rq->rd, sg_status & SG_OVERLOADED);
/* Update over-utilization (tipping point, U >= 0) indicator */
set_rd_overutilized_status(env->dst_rq->rd,
Introduce separate sg_overloaded and sg_overutilized flags in update_sd_lb_stats()

The root_domain::overload flag is 1 when there's any rq
in the root domain that has 2 or more running tasks. (Ie. it's overloaded.)
The root_domain structure itself is a global structure per cpuset island.
The ::overload flag is maintained the following way:
- Set when adding a second task to the runqueue.
- It is cleared in update_sd_lb_stats() during load balance,
if none of the rqs have 2 or more running tasks.
This flag is used during newidle balance to see if its worth doing a full
load balance pass, which can be an expensive operation. If it is set,
then newidle balance will try to aggressively pull a task.
Since commit:
630246a06a ("sched/fair: Clean-up update_sg_lb_stats parameters")
::overload is being written unconditionally, even if it has the same
value. The change in value of this depends on the workload, but on
typical workloads, it doesn't change all that often: a system is
either dominantly overloaded for substantial amounts of time, or not.
Extra writes to this semi-global structure cause unnecessary overhead, extra
bus traffic, etc. - so avoid it as much as possible.
Perf probe stats show that it's worth making this change (numbers are
with patch applied):
1M probe:sched_balance_newidle_L38
139 probe:update_sd_lb_stats_L53 <====== 1->0 writes
129K probe:add_nr_running_L12
74 probe:add_nr_running_L13 <====== 0->1 writes
54K probe:update_sd_lb_stats_L50 <====== reads
These numbers prove that actual change in the ::overload value is (much) less
frequent: L50 is much larger at ~54,000 accesses vs L53+L13 of 139+74.

newidle(CPU_NEWLY_IDLE) balancing doesn't stop the load-balancing if the
continue_balancing flag is reset, but the other two balancing (IDLE, BUSY)
cases do that.
newidle balance stops the load balancing if rq has a task or there
is wakeup pending. The same checks are present in should_we_balance for
newidle. Hence use the return value and simplify continue_balancing
mechanism for newidle. Update the comment surrounding it as well.

root_domain::overutilized is only used for EAS(energy aware scheduler)
to decide whether to do load balance or not. It is not used if EAS
not possible.
Currently enqueue_task_fair and task_tick_fair accesses, sometime updates
this field. In update_sd_lb_stats it is updated often. This causes cache
contention due to true sharing and burns a lot of cycles. ::overload and
::overutilized are part of the same cacheline. Updating it often invalidates
the cacheline. That causes access to ::overload to slow down due to
false sharing. Hence add EAS check before accessing/updating this field.
EAS check is optimized at compile time or it is a static branch.
Hence it shouldn't cost much.
With the patch, both enqueue_task_fair and newidle_balance don't show
up as hot routines in perf profile.
6.8-rc4:
7.18% swapper [kernel.vmlinux] [k] enqueue_task_fair

0.00% swapper [kernel.vmlinux] [k] newidle_balance
While at it: trace_sched_overutilized_tp expect that second argument to
be bool. So do a int to bool conversion for that.

If a misfit task is affined to a subset of the possible CPUs, we need to
verify that one of these CPUs can fit it. Otherwise the load balancer
code will continuously trigger needlessly leading the balance_interval
to increase in return and eventually end up with a situation where real
imbalances take a long time to address because of this impossible
imbalance situation.
This can happen in Android world where it's common for background tasks
to be restricted to little cores.
Similarly if we can't fit the biggest core, triggering misfit is
pointless as it is the best we can ever get on this system.
To be able to detect that; we use asym_cap_list to iterate through
capacities in the system to see if the task is able to run at a higher
capacity level based on its p->cpus_ptr. We do that when the affinity
change, a fair task is forked, or when a task switched to fair policy.
We store the max_allowed_capacity in task_struct to allow for cheap
comparison in the fast path.
Improve check_misfit_status() function by removing redundant checks.
misfit_task_load will be 0 if the task can't move to a bigger CPU. And
nohz_balancer_kick() already checks for cpu_check_capacity() before
calling check_misfit_status().
Test:
=====
Add
trace_printk("balance_interval = %lu\n", interval)
in get_sd_balance_interval().
run
if [ "$MASK" != "0" ]; then
adb shell "taskset -a $MASK cat /dev/zero > /dev/null"
fi
sleep 10
// parse ftrace buffer counting the occurrence of each valaue
Where MASK is either:
* 0: no busy task running
* 1: busy task is pinned to 1 cpu; handled today to not cause
misfit
* f: busy task pinned to little cores, simulates busy background
task, demonstrates the problem to be fixed

- And Chengming Zhou further optimizes zswap in the series "mm/zswap:
optimize for dynamic zswap_pools". Measured improvements are modest.
- zswap cleanups and simplifications from Yosry Ahmed in the series "mm:
zswap: simplify zswap_swapoff()".
- In the series "Add DAX ABI for memmap_on_memory", Vishal Verma has
contributed several DAX cleanups as well as adding a sysfs tunable to
control the memmap_on_memory setting when the dax device is hotplugged
as system memory.

"mm/damon: make DAMON debugfs interface deprecation unignorable"
"selftests/damon: add more tests for core functionalities and corner cases"

- In the series "mm/mempolicy: weighted interleave mempolicy and sysfs

wherein we allocate memory across nodes in a weighted fashion rather
than uniformly. This is beneficial in heterogeneous memory environments
appearing with CXL.
- Christophe Leroy has contributed some cleanup and consolidation work
against the ARM pagetable dumping code in the series "mm: ptdump:
Refactor CONFIG_DEBUG_WX and check_wx_pages debugfs attribute".

tools to parse and process out selftesting results.
- Ryan Roberts has added fork()-time PTE batching of THP ptes in the
series "mm/memory: optimize fork() with PTE-mapped THP". Mainly
targeted at arm64, this significantly speeds up fork() when the process
has a large number of pte-mapped folios.
- David Hildenbrand also gets in on the THP pte batching game in his
series "mm/memory: optimize unmap/zap with PTE-mapped THP". It
implements batching during munmap() and other pte teardown situations.
The microbenchmark improvements are nice.
- And in the series "Transparent Contiguous PTEs for User Mappings" Ryan
Roberts further utilizes arm's pte's contiguous bit ("contpte
mappings"). Kernel build times on arm64 improved nicely. Ryan's series
"Address some contpte nits" provides some followup work.
- In the series "mm/hugetlb: Restore the reservation" Breno Leitao has
fixed an obscure hugetlb race which was causing unnecessary page faults.
He has also added a reproducer under the selftest code.
- In the series "selftests/mm: Output cleanups for the compaction test",
Mark Brown did what the title claims.
- Kinsey Ho has added the series "mm/mglru: code cleanup and refactoring".
- Even more zswap material from Nhat Pham. The series "fix and extend
zswap kselftests" does as claimed.
- In the series "Introduce cpu_dcache_is_aliasing() to fix DAX
regression" Mathieu Desnoyers has cleaned up and fixed rather a mess in
our handling of DAX on archiecctures which have virtually aliasing data
caches. The arm architecture is the main beneficiary.
- Lokesh Gidra's series "per-vma locks in userfaultfd" provides dramatic
improvements in worst-case mmap_lock hold times during certain
userfaultfd operations.
- Some page_owner enhancements and maintenance work from Oscar Salvador
in his series
"page_owner: print stacks and their outstanding allocations"
"page_owner: Fixup and cleanup"
- Uladzislau Rezki has contributed some vmalloc scalability improvements
in his series "Mitigate a vmap lock contention". It realizes a 12x
improvement for a certain microbenchmark.
- Some kexec/crash cleanup work from Baoquan He in the series "Split
crash out from kexec and clean up related config items".
- Some zsmalloc maintenance work from Chengming Zhou in the series
"mm/zsmalloc: fix and optimize objects/page migration"
"mm/zsmalloc: some cleanup for get/set_zspage_mapping()"
- Zi Yan has taught the MM to perform compaction on folios larger than
order=0. This a step along the path to implementaton of the merging of
large anonymous folios. The series is named "Enable >0 order folio
memory compaction".
- Christoph Hellwig has done quite a lot of cleanup work in the
pagecache writeback code in his series "convert write_cache_pages() to
an iterator".
- Some modest hugetlb cleanups and speedups in Vishal Moola's series
"Handle hugetlb faults under the VMA lock".
- Zi Yan has changed the page splitting code so we can split huge pages
into sizes other than order-0 to better utilize large folios. The
series is named "Split a folio to any lower order folios".

total_mapcount()", a cleanup.
- Matthew Wilcox has sought to improve the performance of bulk memory
freeing in his series "Rearrange batched folio freeing".

- Qi Zheng's series "minor fixes and supplement for ptdesc" does that
also. S390 is affected.
- Cleanups to our pagemap utility functions from Peter Xu in his series
"mm/treewide: Replace pXd_large() with pXd_leaf()".
- Nico Pache has fixed a few things with our hugepage selftests in his
series "selftests/mm: Improve Hugepage Test Handling in MM Selftests".

The 'idle_balance()' function hasn't existed for years, and there's no
load_balance_newidle() either - both are sched_balance_newidle() today.

Standardize scheduler load-balancing function names on the
sched_balance_() prefix.
Also use 'dst' instead of 'idlest', because it's not really
true that we return the 'idlest' group or CPU, we sort by
idle-exit latency and only return the idlest CPUs from the
lowest-latency set of CPUs.
The true 'idlest' CPUs often remain idle for a long time
and are never returned as long as the system is under-loaded.

Make two naming changes:
1)
Standardize scheduler load-balancing function names on the
sched_balance_() prefix.
2)
Similar to find_busiest_queue(), the find_busiest_group() naming
has become a bit of a misnomer: the 'busiest' qualifier to this
function was historically correct but in the current code
in quite a few cases we will not pick the 'busiest' group - but the best
(possible) group we can balance from based on a complex set of
constraints.
So name it a bit more neutrally, similar to the 'src/dst' nomenclature
we are already using when moving tasks between runqueues, and also
use the sched_balance_ prefix: sched_balance_find_src_group().

The find_busiest_queue() naming has two small quirks:
- Scheduler functions that deal with runqueues usually have a rq_ prefix
or _rq postfix, but this function has neither.
- Plus the 'busiest' qualifier to this function was historically
correct, but has become somewhat of a misnomer: in quite a few
cases we will not pick the busiest runqueue - but the best
(possible) runqueue we can balance tasks from. So name it a
bit more neutrally, similar to the 'src/dst' nomenclature
we are already using when moving tasks between runqueues.
To fix both quirks, and to standardize scheduler load-balancing
function names on the sched_balance_() prefix, rename the
function to sched_balance_find_src_rq().

Standardize scheduler load-balancing function names on the
sched_balance_() prefix.
Also load_balance() has become somewhat of a misnomer: historically
it was the first and primary load-balancing function that was called,
but with the introduction of sched domains, it's become a lower
layer function that balances runqueues.
Rename it to sched_balance_rq() accordingly.
