Bypass mode was depending on ops.select_cpu() which can't be trusted as with
the rest of the BPF scheduler. Always enable and use scx_select_cpu_dfl() in
bypass mode.

Move the sanity check from the inner function scx_select_cpu_dfl() to the
exported kfunc scx_bpf_select_cpu_dfl(). This doesn't cause behavior
differences and will allow using scx_select_cpu_dfl() in bypass mode
regardless of scx_builtin_idle_enabled.

The disable path caps p->scx.slice to SCX_SLICE_DFL. As the field is already
being ignored at this stage during disable, the only effect this has is that
when the next BPF scheduler is loaded, it won't see unreasonable left-over
slices. Ultimately, this shouldn't matter but it's better to start in a
known state. Drop p->scx.slice capping from the disable path and instead
reset it to SCX_SLICE_DFL in the enable path.

This reverts commit 6f34d8d382d64e7d8e77f5a9ddfd06f4c04937b0.
Slice length is ignored while bypassing and tasks are switched on every tick
and thus the patch does not make any difference. The perceived difference
was from test noise.

scx_qmap and other schedulers in the SCX repo are using SCX_ENQ_WAKEUP to
tell whether ops.select_cpu() was called. This is incorrect as
ops.select_cpu() can be skipped in the wakeup path and leads to e.g.
incorrectly skipping direct dispatch for tasks that are bound to a single
CPU.
sched core has been updated to specify ENQUEUE_RQ_SELECTED if
->select_task_rq() was called. Map it to SCX_ENQ_CPU_SELECTED and update
scx_qmap to test it instead of SCX_ENQ_WAKEUP.

568894edbe48 ("sched_ext: Add scx_cgroup_enabled to gate cgroup operations
and fix scx_tg_online()") assumed that scx_cgroup_exit() is only called
after scx_cgroup_init() finished successfully. This isn't true.
scx_cgroup_exit() can be called without scx_cgroup_init() being called at
all or after scx_cgroup_init() failed in the middle.
As init state is tracked per cgroup, scx_cgroup_exit() can be used safely to
clean up in all cases. Remove the incorrect WARN_ON_ONCE().

When the BPF scheduler fails, ops.exit() allows rich error reporting through
scx_exit_info. Use scx.exit() path consistently for all failures which can
be caused by the BPF scheduler:
- scx_ops_error() is called after ops.init() and ops.cgroup_init() failure
to record error information.
- ops.init_task() failure now uses scx_ops_error() instead of pr_err().
- The err_disable path updated to automatically trigger scx_ops_error() to
cover cases that the error message hasn't already been generated and
always return 0 indicating init success so that the error is reported
through ops.exit().

The enable path uses three big locks - scx_fork_rwsem, scx_cgroup_rwsem and
cpus_read_lock. Currently, the locks are grabbed together which is prone to
locking order problems.
For example, currently, there is a possible deadlock involving
scx_fork_rwsem and cpus_read_lock. cpus_read_lock has to nest inside
scx_fork_rwsem due to locking order existing in other subsystems. However,
there exists a dependency in the other direction during hotplug if hotplug
needs to fork a new task, which happens in some cases. This leads to the
following deadlock:
scx_ops_enable() hotplug
percpu_down_write(&cpu_hotplug_lock)
percpu_down_write(&scx_fork_rwsem)
block on cpu_hotplug_lock
kthread_create() waits for kthreadd
kthreadd blocks on scx_fork_rwsem
Note that this doesn't trigger lockdep because the hotplug side dependency
bounces through kthreadd.
With the preceding scx_cgroup_enabled change, this can be solved by
decoupling cpus_read_lock, which is needed for static_key manipulations,
from the other two locks.
- Move the first block of static_key manipulations outside of scx_fork_rwsem
and scx_cgroup_rwsem. This is now safe with the preceding
scx_cgroup_enabled change.
- Drop scx_cgroup_rwsem and scx_fork_rwsem between the two task iteration
blocks so that __scx_ops_enabled static_key enabling is outside the two
rwsems.

The disable path uses three big locks - scx_fork_rwsem, scx_cgroup_rwsem and
cpus_read_lock. Currently, the locks are grabbed together which is prone to
locking order problems. With the preceding scx_cgroup_enabled change, we can
decouple them:
- As cgroup disabling no longer requires modifying a static_key which
requires cpus_read_lock(), no need to grab cpus_read_lock() before
grabbing scx_cgroup_rwsem.
- cgroup can now be independently disabled before tasks are moved back to
the fair class.
Relocate scx_cgroup_exit() invocation before scx_fork_rwsem is grabbed, drop
now unnecessary cpus_read_lock() and move static_key operations out of
scx_fork_rwsem. This decouples all three locks in the disable path.

scx_tg_online()
If the BPF scheduler does not implement ops.cgroup_init(), scx_tg_online()
didn't set SCX_TG_INITED which meant that ops.cgroup_exit(), even if
implemented, won't be called from scx_tg_offline(). This is because
SCX_HAS_OP(cgroupt_init) is used to test both whether SCX cgroup operations
are enabled and ops.cgroup_init() exists.
Fix it by introducing a separate bool scx_cgroup_enabled to gate cgroup
operations and use SCX_HAS_OP(cgroup_init) only to test whether
ops.cgroup_init() exists. Make all cgroup operations consistently use
scx_cgroup_enabled to test whether cgroup operations are enabled.
scx_cgroup_enabled is added instead of using scx_enabled() to ease planned
locking updates.

scx_ops_init_task() and the follow-up scx_ops_enable_task() in the fork path
were gated by scx_enabled() test and thus __scx_ops_enabled had to be turned
on before the first scx_ops_init_task() loop in scx_ops_enable(). However,
if an external entity causes sched_class switch before the loop is complete,
tasks which are not initialized could be switched to SCX.
The following can be reproduced by running a program which keeps toggling a
process between SCHED_OTHER and SCHED_EXT using sched_setscheduler(2).

scx_ops_enable() has two task iteration loops. The first one calls
scx_ops_init_task() on every task and the latter switches the eligible ones
into SCX. The first loop left the tasks in SCX_TASK_INIT state and then the
second loop switched it into READY before switching the task into SCX.
The distinction between INIT and READY is only meaningful in the fork path
where it's used to tell whether the task finished forking so that we can
tell ops.exit_task() accordingly. Leaving task in INIT state between the two
loops is incosistent with the fork path and incorrect. The following can be
triggered by running a program which keeps toggling a task between
SCHED_OTHER and SCHED_SCX while enabling a task:

scx_ops_enable() used preempt_disable() around the task iteration loop to
switch tasks into SCX to guarantee forward progress of the task which is
running scx_ops_enable(). However, in the gap between setting
__scx_ops_enabled and preeempt_disable(), an external entity can put tasks
including the enabling one into SCX prematurely, which can lead to
malfunctions including stalls.
The bypass mode can wrap the entire enabling operation and guarantee forward
progress no matter what the BPF scheduler does. Use the bypass mode instead
to guarantee forward progress while enabling.
While at it, release and regrab scx_tasks_lock between the two task
iteration locks in scx_ops_enable() for clarity as there is no reason to
keep holding the lock between them.

check_hotplug_seq() is used to detect CPU hotplug event which occurred while
the BPF scheduler is being loaded so that initialization can be retried if
CPU hotplug events take place before the CPU hotplug callbacks are online.
As such, the best place to call it is in the same cpu_read_lock() section
that enables the CPU hotplug ops. Currently, it is called in the next
cpus_read_lock() block in scx_ops_enable(). The side effect of this
placement is a small window in which hotplug sequence detection can trigger
unnecessarily, which isn't critical.
Move check_hotplug_seq() invocation to the same cpus_read_lock() block as
the hotplug operation enablement to close the window and get the invocation
out of the way for planned locking updates.

While bypassing, tasks are scheduled in FIFO order which favors tasks that
hog CPUs. This can slow down e.g. unloading of the BPF scheduler. While
bypassing, guaranteeing timely forward progress is the main goal. There's no

from 20ms to 5ms.

In the bypass mode, the global DSQ is used to schedule all tasks in simple
FIFO order. All tasks are queued into the global DSQ and all CPUs try to
execute tasks from it. This creates a lot of cross-node cacheline accesses
and scheduling across the node boundaries, and can lead to live-lock
conditions where the system takes tens of minutes to disable the BPF
scheduler while executing in the bypass mode.
Split the global DSQ per NUMA node. Each node has its own global DSQ. When a
task is dispatched to SCX_DSQ_GLOBAL, it's put into the global DSQ local to
the task's CPU and all CPUs in a node only consume its node-local global
DSQ.
This resolves a livelock condition which could be reliably triggered on an
2x EPYC 7642 system by running `stress-ng --race-sched 1024` together with
`stress-ng --workload 80 --workload-threads 10` while repeatedly enabling
and disabling a SCX scheduler.

scx_bpf_dsq_nr_queued() and bpf_iter_scx_dsq_new()
SCX_DSQ_GLOBAL is special in that it can't be used as a priority queue and
is consumed implicitly, but all BPF DSQ related kfuncs could be used on it.
SCX_DSQ_GLOBAL will be split per-node for scalability and those operations
won't make sense anymore. Disallow SCX_DSQ_GLOBAL on scx_bpf_consume(),
scx_bpf_dsq_nr_queued() and bpf_iter_scx_dsq_new(). This means that
SCX_DSQ_GLOBAL can only be used as a dispatch target from BPF schedulers.
With scx_flatcg, which was using SCX_DSQ_GLOBAL as the fallback DSQ,
updated, this shouldn't affect any schedulers.
This leaves find_dsq_for_dispatch() the only user of find_non_local_dsq().

As discussed during the distro-centric session within the sched_ext
Microconference at LPC 2024, introduce a sequence counter that is
incremented every time a BPF scheduler is loaded.
This feature can help distributions in diagnosing potential performance
regressions by identifying systems where users are running (or have ran)
custom BPF schedulers.
Example:
arighi@virtme-ng~> cat /sys/kernel/sched_ext/enable_seq
0
arighi@virtme-ng~> sudo scx_simple
local=1 global=0
^CEXIT: unregistered from user space
arighi@virtme-ng~> cat /sys/kernel/sched_ext/enable_seq
1
In this way user-space tools (such as Ubuntu's apport and similar) are
able to gather and include this information in bug reports.

While the BPF scheduler is being unloaded, the following warning messages
trigger sometimes:
NOHZ tick-stop error: local softirq work is pending, handler #80!!!
This is caused by the CPU entering idle while there are pending softirqs.
The main culprit is the bypassing state assertion not being synchronized
with rq operations. As the BPF scheduler cannot be trusted in the disable
path, the first step is entering the bypass mode where the BPF scheduler is
ignored and scheduling becomes global FIFO.
This is implemented by turning scx_ops_bypassing() true. However, the
transition isn't synchronized against anything and it's possible for enqueue
and dispatch paths to have different ideas on whether bypass mode is on.
Make each rq track its own bypass state with SCX_RQ_BYPASSING which is
modified while rq is locked.
This removes most of the NOHZ tick-stop messages but not completely. I
believe the stragglers are from the sched core bug where pick_task_scx() can
be called without preceding balance_scx(). Once that bug is fixed, we should
verify that all occurrences of this error message are gone too.
v2: scx_enabled() test moved inside the for_each_possible_cpu() loop so that
the per-cpu states are always synchronized with the global state.

Once a task is put into a DSQ, the allowed operations are fairly limited.
Tasks in the built-in local and global DSQs are executed automatically and,
ignoring dequeue, there is only one way a task in a user DSQ can be
manipulated - scx_bpf_consume() moves the first task to the dispatching
local DSQ. This inflexibility sometimes gets in the way and is an area where
multiple feature requests have been made.
Implement scx_bpf_dispatch[_vtime]_from_dsq(), which can be called during
DSQ iteration and can move the task to any DSQ - local DSQs, global DSQ and
user DSQs. The kfuncs can be called from ops.dispatch() and any BPF context
which dosen't hold a rq lock including BPF timers and SYSCALL programs.
This is an expansion of an earlier patch which only allowed moving into the
dispatching local DSQ:
http://lkml.kernel.org/r/Zn4Cw4FDTmvXnhaf@slm.duckdns.org
v2: Remove @slice and @vtime from scx_bpf_dispatch_from_dsq[_vtime]() as
they push scx_bpf_dispatch_from_dsq_vtime() over the kfunc argument
count limit and often won't be needed anyway. Instead provide
scx_bpf_dispatch_from_dsq_set_{slice|vtime}() kfuncs which can be called
only when needed and override the specified parameter for the subsequent
dispatch.

struct scx_iter_scx_dsq is defined as 6 u64's and scx_dsq_iter_kern was
using 5 of them. We want to add two more u64 fields but it's better if we do
so while staying within scx_iter_scx_dsq to maintain binary compatibility.
The way scx_iter_scx_dsq_kern is laid out is rather inefficient - the node
field takes up three u64's but only one bit of the last u64 is used. Turn
the bool into u32 flags and only use the lower 16 bits freeing up 48 bits -
16 bits for flags, 32 bits for a u32 - for use by struct
bpf_iter_scx_dsq_kern.
This allows moving the dsq_seq and flags fields of bpf_iter_scx_dsq_kern
into the cursor field reducing the struct size by a full u64.

balance_scx()
pick_task_scx() must be preceded by balance_scx() but there currently is a
bug where fair could say yes on balance() but no on pick_task(), which then
ends up calling pick_task_scx() without preceding balance_scx(). Work around
by dropping WARN_ON_ONCE() and ignoring cases which don't make sense.
This isn't great and can theoretically lead to stalls. However, for
switch_all cases, this happens only while a BPF scheduler is being loaded or
unloaded, and, for partial cases, fair will likely keep triggering this CPU.
This will be reverted once the fair behavior is fixed.

Add sched_ext_ops operations to init/exit cgroups, and track task migrations
and config changes. A BPF scheduler may not implement or implement only
subset of cgroup features. The implemented features can be indicated using
%SCX_OPS_HAS_CGOUP_* flags. If cgroup configuration makes use of features
that are not implemented, a warning is triggered.
While a BPF scheduler is being enabled and disabled, relevant cgroup
operations are locked out using scx_cgroup_rwsem. This avoids situations
like task prep taking place while the task is being moved across cgroups,
making things easier for BPF schedulers.
v7: - cgroup interface file visibility toggling is dropped in favor just
warning messages. Dynamically changing interface visiblity caused more
confusion than helping.
v6: - Updated to reflect the removal of SCX_KF_SLEEPABLE.
- Updated to use CONFIG_GROUP_SCHED_WEIGHT and fixes for
!CONFIG_FAIR_GROUP_SCHED && CONFIG_EXT_GROUP_SCHED.
v5: - Flipped the locking order between scx_cgroup_rwsem and
cpus_read_lock() to avoid locking order conflict w/ cpuset. Better
documentation around locking.
- sched_move_task() takes an early exit if the source and destination
are identical. This triggered the warning in scx_cgroup_can_attach()
as it left p->scx.cgrp_moving_from uncleared. Updated the cgroup
migration path so that ops.cgroup_prep_move() is skipped for identity
migrations so that its invocations always match ops.cgroup_move()
one-to-one.
v4: - Example schedulers moved into their own patches.
- Fix build failure when !CONFIG_CGROUP_SCHED, reported by Andrea Righi.
v3: - Make scx_example_pair switch all tasks by default.
- Convert to BPF inline iterators.
- scx_bpf_task_cgroup() is added to determine the current cgroup from
CPU controller's POV. This allows BPF schedulers to accurately track
CPU cgroup membership.
- scx_example_flatcg added. This demonstrates flattened hierarchy
implementation of CPU cgroup control and shows significant performance
improvement when cgroups which are nested multiple levels are under
competition.
v2: - Build fixes for different CONFIG combinations.

During scx_ops_enable(), SCX needs to invoke the sleepable ops.init_task()
on every task. To do this, it does get_task_struct() on each iterated task,
drop the lock and then call ops.init_task().
However, a TASK_DEAD task may already have lost all its usage count and be
waiting for RCU grace period to be freed. If get_task_struct() is called on
such task, use-after-free can happen. To avoid such situations,
scx_ops_enable() skips initialization of TASK_DEAD tasks, which seems safe
as they are never going to be scheduled again.
Unfortunately, a racing sched_setscheduler(2) can grab the task before the
task is unhashed and then continue to e.g. move the task from RT to SCX
after TASK_DEAD is set and ops_enable skipped the task. As the task hasn't
gone through scx_ops_init_task(), scx_ops_enable_task() called from
switching_to_scx() triggers the following warning:
sched_ext: Invalid task state transition 0 -> 3 for stress-ng-race-[2872]

As in the ops_disable path, it just doesn't seem like a good idea to leave
any task in an inconsistent state, even when the task is dead. The root
cause is ops_enable not being able to tell reliably whether a task is truly
dead (no one else is looking at it and it's about to be freed) and was
testing TASK_DEAD instead. Fix it by testing the task's usage count
directly.
- ops_init no longer ignores TASK_DEAD tasks. As now all users iterate all
tasks, @include_dead is removed from scx_task_iter_next_locked() along
with dead task filtering.
- tryget_task_struct() is added. Tasks are skipped iff tryget_task_struct()
fails.

scx_ops_disable_workfn() only switches !TASK_DEAD tasks out of SCX while
calling scx_ops_exit_task() on all tasks including dead ones. This can leave
a dead task on SCX but with SCX_TASK_NONE state, which is inconsistent.
If another task was in the process of changing the TASK_DEAD task's
scheduling class and grabs the rq lock after scx_ops_disable_workfn() is
done with the task, the task ends up calling scx_ops_disable_task() on the
dead task which is in an inconsistent state triggering a warning:

There is no reason to leave dead tasks on SCX when unloading the BPF
scheduler. Fix by making scx_ops_disable_workfn() eject all tasks including
the dead ones from SCX.

Now that put_prev_task_scx() is called with @next on task switches, there's
no reason to use sched_class.switch_class(). Rename switch_class_scx() to
switch_class() and call it from put_prev_task_scx().

Because the BPF scheduler's dispatch path is invoked from balance(),
sched_ext needs to invoke balance_one() on all sibling rq's before picking
the next task for core-sched.
Before the recent pick_next_task() updates, sched_ext couldn't share pick
task between regular and core-sched paths because pick_next_task() depended
on put_prev_task() being called on the current task. Tasks currently running
on sibling rq's can't be put when one rq is trying to pick the next task, so
pick_task_scx() had to have a separate mechanism to pick between a sibling
rq's current task and the first task in its local DSQ.
However, with the preceding updates, pick_next_task_scx() no longer depends
on the current task being put and can compare the current task and the next
in line statelessly, and the pick task logic should be shareable between
regular and core-sched paths.
Unify regular and core-sched pick task paths:
- There's no reason to distinguish local and sibling picks anymore. @local
is removed from balance_one().
- pick_next_task_scx() is turned into pick_task_scx() by dropping the
put_prev_set_next_task() call.
- The old pick_task_scx() is dropped.

SCX_TASK_BAL_KEEP is used by balance_one() to tell pick_next_task_scx() to
keep running the current task. It's not really a task property. Replace it
with SCX_RQ_BAL_KEEP which resides in rq->scx.flags and is a better fit for
the usage. Also, the existing clearing rule is unnecessarily strict and
makes it difficult to use with core-sched. Just clear it on entry to
balance_one().
