Hi folks,

This is the long-awaited v6 of these patches which I last posted at the
end of last year:

  v1: https://lore.kernel.org/r/20201027215118.27003-1-will@kernel.org
  v2: https://lore.kernel.org/r/20201109213023.15092-1-will@kernel.org
  v3: https://lore.kernel.org/r/20201113093720.21106-1-will@kernel.org
  v4: https://lore.kernel.org/r/20201124155039.13804-1-will@kernel.org
  v5: https://lore.kernel.org/r/20201208132835.6151-1-will@kernel.org

There was also a nice LWN writeup in case you've forgotten what this is
about:

	https://lwn.net/Articles/838339/

It's taken me a while to get a v6 of this together, partly due to
addressing the review feedback on v5, but also because this has now seen
testing on real hardware which threw up some surprises in suspend/resume,
SCHED_DEADLINE and compat hwcap reporting. Thanks to Quentin for helping
me to debug those issues.

The aim of this series is to allow 32-bit ARM applications to run on
arm64 SoCs where not all of the CPUs support the 32-bit instruction set.
Unfortunately, such SoCs are real and will continue to be productised
over the next few years at least. I can assure you that I'm not just
doing this for fun.

Changes in v6 include:

  * Save/restore the affinity mask across execve() to 32-bit and back to
    64-bit again.

  * Allow 32-bit deadline tasks, but skip straight to fallback path when
    determining new affinity mask on execve().

  * Fixed resume-from-suspend path when the resuming CPU is 64-bit-only
    by deferring wake-ups for 32-bit tasks until the secondary CPUs are
    back online.

  * Bug fixes (compat hwcaps, memory leak, cpuset fallback path).

  * Documentation for arm64. It's in the divisive .rst format, but please
    take a look anyway!

I'm pretty happy with this now and it seems to do the right thing,
although the new patches in this revision would certainly benefit from
review. Series based on v5.13-rc1.

Cheers,

Will

In preparation for late initialisation of the "sanitised" AArch32 register
state, move the AArch32 registers out of 'struct cpuinfo' and into their
own struct definition.

When confronted with a mixture of CPUs, some of which support 32-bit
applications and others which don't, we quite sensibly treat the system
as 64-bit only for userspace and prevent execve() of 32-bit binaries.

Unfortunately, some crazy folks have decided to build systems like this
with the intention of running 32-bit applications, so relax our
sanitisation logic to continue to advertise 32-bit support to userspace
on these systems and track the real 32-bit capable cores in a cpumask
instead. For now, the default behaviour remains but will be tied to
a command-line option in a later patch.

If a vCPU is caught running 32-bit code on a system with mismatched
support at EL0, then we should kill it.

Scheduling a 32-bit application on a 64-bit-only CPU is a bad idea.

Ensure that 32-bit applications always take the slow-path when returning
to userspace on a system with mismatched support at EL0, so that we can
avoid trying to run on a 64-bit-only CPU and force a SIGKILL instead.

Since 32-bit applications will be killed if they are caught trying to
execute on a 64-bit-only CPU in a mismatched system, advertise the set
of 32-bit capable CPUs to userspace in sysfs.

Asymmetric systems may not offer the same level of userspace ISA support
across all CPUs, meaning that some applications cannot be executed by
some CPUs. As a concrete example, upcoming arm64 big.LITTLE designs do
not feature support for 32-bit applications on both clusters.

On such a system, we must take care not to migrate a task to an
unsupported CPU when forcefully moving tasks in select_fallback_rq()
in response to a CPU hot-unplug operation.

Introduce a task_cpu_possible_mask() hook which, given a task argument,
allows an architecture to return a cpumask of CPUs that are capable of
executing that task. The default implementation returns the
cpu_possible_mask, since sane machines do not suffer from per-cpu ISA
limitations that affect scheduling. The new mask is used when selecting
the fallback runqueue as a last resort before forcing a migration to the
first active CPU.

If the scheduler cannot find an allowed CPU for a task,
cpuset_cpus_allowed_fallback() will widen the affinity to cpu_possible_mask
if cgroup v1 is in use.

In preparation for allowing architectures to provide their own fallback
mask, just return early if we're either using cgroup v1 or we're using
cgroup v2 with a mask that contains invalid CPUs. This will allow
select_fallback_rq() to figure out the mask by itself.

across all CPUs, meaning that some applications cannot be executed by
some CPUs. As a concrete example, upcoming arm64 big.LITTLE designs do
not feature support for 32-bit applications on both clusters.

Modify guarantee_online_cpus() to take task_cpu_possible_mask() into
account when trying to find a suitable set of online CPUs for a given
task. This will avoid passing an invalid mask to set_cpus_allowed_ptr()
during ->attach() and will subsequently allow the cpuset hierarchy to be
taken into account when forcefully overriding the affinity mask for a
task which requires migration to a compatible CPU.

Reject explicit requests to change the affinity mask of a task via
set_cpus_allowed_ptr() if the requested mask is not a subset of the
mask returned by task_cpu_possible_mask(). This ensures that the
'cpus_mask' for a given task cannot contain CPUs which are incapable of
executing it, except in cases where the affinity is forced.

In preparation for saving and restoring the user-requested CPU affinity
mask of a task, add a new cpumask_t pointer to 'struct task_struct'.

If the pointer is non-NULL, then the mask is copied across fork() and
freed on task exit.

In preparation for replaying user affinity requests using a saved mask,
split sched_setaffinity() up so that the initial task lookup and
security checks are only performed when the request is coming directly
from userspace.

Asymmetric systems may not offer the same level of userspace ISA support
across all CPUs, meaning that some applications cannot be executed by
some CPUs. As a concrete example, upcoming arm64 big.LITTLE designs do
not feature support for 32-bit applications on both clusters.

Although userspace can carefully manage the affinity masks for such
tasks, one place where it is particularly problematic is execve()
because the CPU on which the execve() is occurring may be incompatible
with the new application image. In such a situation, it is desirable to
restrict the affinity mask of the task and ensure that the new image is
entered on a compatible CPU. From userspace's point of view, this looks
the same as if the incompatible CPUs have been hotplugged off in the
task's affinity mask. Similarly, if a subsequent execve() reverts to
a compatible image, then the old affinity is restored if it is still
valid.

In preparation for restricting the affinity mask for compat tasks on
arm64 systems without uniform support for 32-bit applications, introduce
{force,relax}_compatible_cpus_allowed_ptr(), which respectively restrict
and restore the affinity mask for a task based on the compatible CPUs.

On asymmetric systems where the affinity of a task is restricted to
contain only the CPUs capable of running it, admission to the deadline
scheduler is likely to fail because the span of the sched domain
contains incompatible CPUs. Although this is arguably the right thing to
do, it is inconsistent with the case where the affinity of a task is
restricted after already having been admitted to the deadline scheduler.

For example, on an arm64 system where not all CPUs support 32-bit
applications, a 64-bit deadline task can exec() a 32-bit image and have
its affinity forcefully restricted.

Rather than reject these tasks altogether, favour the requested user
affinity saved in 'task_struct::user_cpus_ptr' over the actual affinity
of the task which has been restricted by the kernel.

Occasionally it is necessary to see if a task is either frozen or
sleeping in the PF_FREEZER_SKIP state. In preparation for adding
additional users of this check, introduce a frozen_or_skipped() helper
function and convert the hung task detector over to using it.

Asymmetric systems may not offer the same level of userspace ISA support
across all CPUs, meaning that some applications cannot be executed by
some CPUs. As a concrete example, upcoming arm64 big.LITTLE designs do
not feature support for 32-bit applications on both clusters.

Although we take care to prevent explicit hot-unplug of all 32-bit
capable CPUs on such a system, this is required when suspending on some
SoCs where the firmware mandates that the suspend/resume operation is
handled by CPU 0, which may not be capable of running 32-bit tasks.

Consequently, there is a window on the resume path where no 32-bit
capable CPUs are available for scheduling and waking up a 32-bit task
will result in a scheduler BUG() due to failure of select_fallback_rq():

  | kernel BUG at kernel/sched/core.c:2858!

Prevent wakeups of unschedulable frozen tasks in ttwu() and instead
defer the wakeup to __thaw_tasks(), which runs only once all the
secondary CPUs are back online.

When exec'ing a 32-bit task on a system with mismatched support for
32-bit EL0, try to ensure that it starts life on a CPU that can actually
run it.

Similarly, when exec'ing a 64-bit task on such a system, try to restore
the old affinity mask if it was previously restricted.

If we want to support 32-bit applications, then when we identify a CPU
with mismatched 32-bit EL0 support we must ensure that we will always
have an active 32-bit CPU available to us from then on. This is important
for the scheduler, because is_cpu_allowed() will be constrained to 32-bit
CPUs for compat tasks and forced migration due to a hotplug event will
hang if no 32-bit CPUs are available.

On detecting a mismatch, prevent offlining of either the mismatching CPU
if it is 32-bit capable, or find the first active 32-bit capable CPU
otherwise.

The scheduler now knows enough about these braindead systems to place
32-bit tasks accordingly, so throw out the safety checks and allow the
ret-to-user path to avoid do_notify_resume() if there is nothing to do.

+======================
+Asymmetric 32-bit SoCs
+======================
+
+Author: Will Deacon <will@kernel.org>
+
+This document describes the impact of asymmetric 32-bit SoCs on the
+execution of 32-bit (``AArch32``) applications.
+
+Date: 2021-05-17
+
+Introduction
+============
+
+Some Armv9 SoCs suffer from a big.LITTLE misfeature where only a subset
+of the CPUs are capable of executing 32-bit user applications. On such
+a system, Linux by default treats the asymmetry as a "mismatch" and
+disables support for both the ``PER_LINUX32`` personality and
+``execve(2)`` of 32-bit ELF binaries, with the latter returning
+``-ENOEXEC``. If the mismatch is detected during late onlining of a
+64-bit-only CPU, then the onlining operation fails and the new CPU is
+unavailable for scheduling.
+
+Surprisingly, these SoCs have been produced with the intention of
+running legacy 32-bit binaries. Unsurprisingly, that doesn't work very
+well with the default behaviour of Linux.
+
+It seems inevitable that future SoCs will drop 32-bit support
+altogether, so if you're stuck in the unenviable position of needing to
+run 32-bit code on one of these transitionary platforms then you would
+be wise to consider alternatives such as recompilation, emulation or
+retirement. If neither of those options are practical, then read on.
+
+Enabling kernel support
+=======================
+
+Since the kernel support is not completely transparent to userspace,
+allowing 32-bit tasks to run on an asymmetric 32-bit system requires an
+explicit "opt-in" and can be enabled by passing the
+``allow_mismatched_32bit_el0`` parameter on the kernel command-line.
+
+For the remainder of this document we will refer to an *asymmetric
+system* to mean an SoC running Linux with this kernel command-line
+option enabled.
+
+Userspace impact
+================
+
+32-bit tasks running on an asymmetric system behave in mostly the same
+way as on a homogeneous system, with a few key differences relating to
+CPU affinity.
+
+sysfs
+-----
+
+The subset of CPUs capable of running 32-bit tasks is described in
+``/sys/devices/system/cpu/aarch32_el0`` and is documented further in
+``Documentation/ABI/testing/sysfs-devices-system-cpu``.
+
+**Note:** CPUs are advertised by this file as they are detected and so
+late-onlining of 32-bit-capable CPUs can result in the file contents
+being modified by the kernel at runtime. Once advertised, CPUs are never
+removed from the file.
+
+``execve(2)``
+-------------
+
+On a homogeneous system, the CPU affinity of a task is preserved across
+``execve(2)``. This is not always possible on an asymmetric system,
+specifically when the new program being executed is 32-bit yet the
+affinity mask contains 64-bit-only CPUs. In this situation, the kernel
+determines the new affinity mask as follows:
+
+  1. If the 32-bit-capable subset of the affinity mask is not empty,
+     then the affinity is restricted to that subset and the old affinity
+     mask is saved. This saved mask is inherited over ``fork(2)`` and
+     preserved across ``execve(2)`` of 32-bit programs.
+
+     **Note:** This step does not apply to ``SCHED_DEADLINE`` tasks.
+     See `SCHED_DEADLINE`_.
+
+  2. Otherwise, the cpuset hierarchy of the task is walked until an
+     ancestor is found containing at least one 32-bit-capable CPU. The
+     affinity of the task is then changed to match the 32-bit-capable
+     subset of the cpuset determined by the walk.
+
+  3. On failure (i.e. out of memory), the affinity is changed to the set
+     of all 32-bit-capable CPUs of which the kernel is aware.
+
+A subsequent ``execve(2)`` of a 64-bit program by the 32-bit task will
+invalidate the affinity mask saved in (1) and attempt to restore the CPU
+affinity of the task using the saved mask if it was previously valid.
+This restoration may fail due to intervening changes to the deadline
+policy or cpuset hierarchy, in which case the ``execve(2)`` continues
+with the affinity unchanged.
+
+Calls to ``sched_setaffinity(2)`` for a 32-bit task will consider only
+the 32-bit-capable CPUs of the requested affinity mask. On success, the
+affinity for the task is updated and any saved mask from a prior
+``execve(2)`` is invalidated.
+
+``SCHED_DEADLINE``
+------------------
+
+Admitting a 32-bit task to the deadline scheduler (e.g. by calling
+``sched_setattr(2)``) will, if valid, consider the affinity mask saved
+by a previous call to ``execve(2)`` for the purposes of input validation
+in preference to the running affinity of the task. 64-bit deadline tasks
+will skip step (1) of the process described in `execve(2)`_ when
+executed a 32-bit program.
+
+**Note:** It is recommended that the 32-bit-capable CPUs are placed into
+a separate root domain if ``SCHED_DEADLINE`` is to be used with 32-bit
+tasks on an asymmetric system. Failure to do so is likely to result in
+missed deadlines.
+
+Cpusets
+-------
+
+The affinity of a 32-bit task may include CPUs that are not explicitly
+allowed by the cpuset to which it is attached. This can occur as a
+result of the following two situations:
+
+  - A 64-bit task attached to a cpuset which allows only 64-bit CPUs
+    executes a 32-bit program.
+
+  - All of the 32-bit-capable CPUs allowed by a cpuset containing a
+    32-bit task are offlined.
+
+In both of these cases, the new affinity is calculated according to step
+(2) of the process described in `execve(2)`_ and the cpuset hierarchy is
+unchanged irrespective of the cgroup version.
+
+CPU hotplug
+-----------
+
+When the kernel detects asymmetric 32-bit hardware, the first detected
+32-bit-capable CPU is prevented from being offlined by userspace and any
+such attempt will return ``-EPERM``. Note that suspend is still
+permitted even if the primary CPU (i.e. CPU 0) is 64-bit-only.
+
+KVM
+---
+
+Although KVM will not advertise 32-bit EL0 support to any vCPUs on an
+asymmetric system, a broken guest at EL1 could still attempt to execute
+32-bit code at EL0. In this case, an exit from a vCPU thread in 32-bit
+mode will return to host userspace with an ``exit_reason`` of
+``KVM_EXIT_FAIL_ENTRY``.

So I guess the alternative would be to fail exec-ing into 32bit from a
64bit DL task, and then drop this patch?

The nice thing about your approach is that existing applications won't
really notice a difference (execve would still 'work'), but on the cons
side it breaks admission control, which is sad.

I don't expect this weird execve-to-32bit pattern from DL to be that
common in practice (at the very least not in Android), so maybe we could
start with the stricter version (fail the execve), and wait to see if
folks complain? Making things stricter later will be harder.

Thoughts?

Thanks,
Quentin

Right, with your suggestion here we would forbid any 32-bit deadline tasks
on an asymmetric system, even if you'd gone to the extraordinary effort
to cater for that (e.g. by having a separate root domain).

I don't have strong opinions on this, but I _do_ want the admission via
sched_setattr() to be consistent with execve(). What you're suggesting
ticks that box, but how many applications are prepared to handle a failed
execve()? I suspect it will be fatal.

Probably also worth pointing out that the approach here will at least
warn in the execve() case when the affinity is overridden for a deadline
task.

Yep, probably.

Right so I think either way will be imperfect, so I agree with the
above.

Maybe one thing though is that, IIRC, userspace _can_ disable admission
control if it wants to. In this case I'd have no problem with allowing
this weird behaviour when admission control is off -- the kernel won't
provide any guarantees. But if it's left on, then it's a different
story.

So what about we say, if admission control is off, we allow execve() and
sched_setattr() with appropriate warnings as you suggest, but if
admission control is on then we fail both?

We might still see random failures in the wild if admission control is
left enabled on those devices but then I think these could qualify as
a device misconfiguration, not as a kernel bug.

Thoughts?

Thanks,
Quentin

That's an interesting idea. The part that I'm not super keen about is
that it means admission control _also_ has an effect on the behaviour of
execve(), so practically you'd have to have it disabled as long as you
have the possibility of 32-bit deadline tasks anywhere in the system,
which impacts 64-bit tasks which may well want admission control enabled.

So perhaps my initial position of trying to keep sched_setattr() and
execve() consistent with each other is flawed and actually we can say:

  * Disable admission control if you want to admit a 32-bit task explicitly
    via sched_setattr()

  * If a 64-bit deadline task execve()s a 32-bit program then we warn
    and override the affinity (i.e. you should avoid doing this if you
    care about the deadlines).

That amounts to dropping this patch and tweaking the documentation.

Dunno, what do you think?

Will

Right, that's a good point. And it looks like fork() behaves the same
regardless of admission control being enabled or not -- it is forbidden
from DL either way. So I can't say there is a precedent :/

Indeed, this is a bit sad, but I don't know if the kernel should pretend
it can guarantee to meet your deadlines and at the same time allow to do
something that wrecks the underlying theory.

I'd personally be happy with saying that admission control should be
disabled on these dumb systems (and have that documented), at least
until DL gets proper support for affinities. ISTR there was work going
in that direction, but some folks in the CC list will know better.

@Juri, maybe you would know if that's still planned?

Thanks,
Quentin

I won't go as far as saying planned, but that is still under "our" radar
for sure. Daniel was working on it, but I don't think he had any time to
resume that bit of work lately.

So, until we have that, I think we have been as conservative as we could
for this type of decisions. I'm a little afraid that allowing
configuration to break admission control (even with a non fatal warning
is emitted) is still risky. I'd go with fail hard if AC is on, let it
pass if AC is off (supposedly the user knows what to do). But I'm not
familiar with the mixed 32/64 apps usecase you describe, so I might be
missing details.

Best,
Juri

Ok, thanks for the insight. In which case, I'll go with what we discussed:
require admission control to be disabled for sched_setattr() but allow
execve() to a 32-bit task from a 64-bit deadline task with a warning (this
is probably similar to CPU hotplug?).

I'll update that for v8, and this patch will disappear.

Will

Still not sure that we can let execve go through ... It will break AC
all the same, so it should probably fail as well if AC is on IMO

If the cpumask of the 32-bit task is != of the 64-bit task that is executing it,
the admission control needs to be re-executed, and it could fail. So I see this
operation equivalent to sched_setaffinity(). This will likely be true for future
schedulers that will allow arbitrary affinities (AC should run on affinity
change, and could fail).

I would vote with Juri: "I'd go with fail hard if AC is on, let it
pass if AC is off (supposedly the user knows what to do)," (also hope nobody
complains until we add better support for affinity, and use this as a motivation
to get back on this front).

(1) # chrt -d -T 5000000 -P 16666666 0 ./32bit_app

(2) # ./32bit_app &

    # chrt -d -T 5000000 -P 16666666 -p 0 pid_of(32bit_app)


Wouldn't the behaviour of (1) and (2) be different w/o this patch?

In (1) __sched_setscheduler() happens before execve so it operates on
p->cpus_ptr equal span.

In (2) span != p->cpus_ptr so DL AC will fail.

As far as I got, the case (1) would be spitted in two steps:

 - __sched_setscheduler() will work, then
 - execv() would fail because (span != p->cpus_ptr)

So... at the end, both (1) and (2) would result in a failure...

am I missing something?

Not sure. Reading this thread I was under the assumption that the only
change would be the drop of this patch. But I assume there is also this
'if DL AC is on then let sched_setattr() fail for this 32bit task'.

IMHO, the current patch-stack w/o this patch should let (1) succeed with
DL AC.

I can have a go at implementing it, but I don't think it's a great solution
and here's why:

Failing an execve() is _very_ likely to be fatal to the application. It's
also very likely that the task calling execve() doesn't know whether the
program it's trying to execute is 32-bit or not. Consequently, if we go
with failing execve() then all that will happen is that people will disable
admission control altogether. That has a negative impact on "pure" 64-bit
applications and so I think we end up with the tail wagging the dog because
admission control will be disabled for everybody just because there is a
handful of 32-bit programs which may get executed. I understand that it
also means that RT throttling would be disabled.

Allowing the execve() to continue with a warning is very similar to the
case in which all the 64-bit CPUs are hot-unplugged at the point of
execve(), and this is much closer to the illusion that this patch series
intends to provide.

So, personally speaking, I would prefer the behaviour where we refuse to
admit 32-bit tasks vioa sched_set_attr() if the root domain contains
64-bit CPUs, but we _don't_ fail execve() of a 32-bit program from a
64-bit deadline task.

However, you're the deadline experts so ultimately I'll implement what
you prefer. I just wanted to explain why I think it's a poor interface.

Have I changed anybody's mind?

Will

That's what I'm proposing, yes, but others (including Daniel) prefer to
fail the execve(). See my other reply just now for a summary [1].

Completely understand your perplexity. But how can the kernel still give
guarantees to "pure" 64-bit applications if there are 32-bit
applications around that essentially broke admission control when they
were restricted to a subset of cores?

So, for hotplug we currently have a check that would make hotplug
operations fail if removing a CPU would mean not enough bandwidth to run
the currently admitted set of DEADLINE tasks.

OK, this is interesting and I guess a very valid alternative. That would
force users to create exclusive domains for 32-bit tasks, right?

Partly! :)

Thanks a lot for the discussion so far.

Right, but only on these dumb 32bit asymmetric systems, and only if we
care about running 32bits deadline tasks -- which I seriously doubt for
the Android use-case.

Note that running deadline tasks is also a privileged operation, it
can't be done by random apps.

Aha, wasn't aware. Any pointers to that check for my education?

FWIW this is not practical at all for our use-cases, the implications of
splitting the system in independent root-domains are way too important
for us to be able to recommend that. Disabling AC, OTOH, sounds simple
enough. The RT throttling part is the only 'worrying' part, but even
that may not be the end of the world.

Thanks!

Hotplug ends up calling dl_cpu_busy() (after the cpu being hotplugged out
got removed), IIRC. So, if that fails the operation in undone.

Note that RT throttling (SCHED_{FIFO,RR}) is not handled by DEADLINE
servers yet.

We may have discussed this before: AFAICT this will print 32-bit EL0
detected even if there's no 32-bit EL0 on any CPU. Should we instead
print 32-bit EL0 detected on CPU X when allow_mismatched_32bit_el0 is
passed? It would also give us an indication of the system configuration
when people start reporting bugs.

Interesting, thanks. Thinking about this some more, it strikes me that with
these silly asymmetric systems there could be an interesting additional
problem with hotplug and deadline tasks. Imagine the following sequence of
events:

  1. All online CPUs are 32-bit-capable
  2. sched_setattr() admits a 32-bit deadline task
  3. A 64-bit-only CPU is onlined
  4. Some of the 32-bit-capable CPUs are offlined

I wonder if we can get into a situation where we think we have enough
bandwidth available, but in reality the 32-bit task is in trouble because
it can't make use of the 64-bit-only CPU.

If so, then it seems to me that admission control is really just
"best-effort" for 32-bit deadline tasks on these systems because it's based
on a snapshot in time of the available resources.

Will

It may be worth only calling static_branch_enable_cpuslocked() if not
already set, in case you try this on a system with lots of CPUs.

IMHO DL AC is per root domain (rd). So if we have e.g. an 8 CPU system
with aarch32_el0 eq. [0-3] then we would need 2 exclusive cpusets ([0-3]
and [4-7]) to admit 32-bit DL tasks into [0-3] (i.e. to pass the `if
(!cpumask_subset(span, p->cpus_ptr) ...` test in __sched_setscheduler().

Trying to admit too many 32-bit DL tasks or trying to hp out a CPU[0-3]
would lead to `Device or resource busy` in case the rd bw wouldn't be
sufficient anymore for the set of admitted tasks. But the [0-3] DL AC
wouldn't care about hp on CPU[4-7].

At the point 3, the global scheduler assumption is broken. For instance, in a
system with four CPUs and five ready 32-bit-capable tasks, when the fifth CPU as
added, the working conserving rule is violated because the five highest priority
thread are not running (only four are) :-(.

So, at this point, for us to keep to the current behavior, the addition should
be.. blocked? :-((

>   4. Some of the 32-bit-capable CPUs are offlined

Assuming that point 3 does not exist (i.e., all CPUs are 32-bit-capable). At
this point, we will have an increase in the pressure on the 32-bit-capable CPUs.

This can also create bad effects for 64-bit tasks, as the "contended" 32-bit
tasks will still be "queued" in a future time where they were supposed to be
done (leaving time for the 64-bit tasks).

I would have to think more, but there might be a case where this contended
32-bit tasks could cause deadline misses for the 64-bit too.

The admission test as is now is "best-effort" in the sense that it allows a
workload higher than it could handle (it is necessary, but not sufficient AC).
But it should not be considered "best-effort" because of violations in the
working conserving property as a result of arbitrary affinities among tasks.
Overall, we have been trying to close any "exception left" to this later case.

I know, it is a complex situation, I am just trying to illustrate our concerns,
because, in the near future we might have a scheduler that handles arbitrary
affinity correctly. But that might require us to stick to an AC. The AC is
something precious for us.

(yeah, SP would not face this problem... now that I made progress on RV I can
get back to it).

So I think Will has a point since, IIRC, the root domains get rebuilt
during hotplug. So you can imagine a case with a single root domain, but
CPUs 4-7 are offline. In this case, sched_setattr() will happily promote
a task to DL as long as its affinity mask is a superset of the rd span,
but things may get ugly when CPUs are plugged back in later on.

This looks like an existing bug though. I just tried the following on a
system with 4 CPUs:

    // Create a task affined to CPU [0-2]
    > while true; do echo "Hi" > /dev/null; done &
    [1] 560
    > mypid=$!
    > taskset -p 7 $mypid
    pid 560's current affinity mask: f
    pid 560's new affinity mask: 7

    // Try to move it DL, this should fail because of the affinity
    > chrt -d -T 5000000 -P 16666666 -p 0 $mypid

    // Try to admit the task again, which now succeeds
    > chrt -d -T 5000000 -P 16666666 -p 0 $mypid

    // Plug CPU3 back online
    > echo 1 > /sys/devices/system/cpu/cpu3/online

I don't see any easy way to fix this w/o iterating over all deadline
tasks in the rd when hotplugging a CPU back on, and blocking the hotplug
operation if it'll cause affinity issues. Urgh.

FWIW, I agree with the above. As pointed out in another reply, this
looks like an existing bug and there is nothing specific to 32bits tasks
here.

But I don't think the existence of this bug should be a reason for
breaking AC even more than it is. So it still feels cleaner to block
execve() into 32bit if AC is on until we have proper support for
affinities in DL. And if folks want to use 32bit DL tasks on these
systems they'll have to disable AC, but at least they know what they are
getting ...

Thanks,
Quentin

Yeah this looks like a plain existing bug, joy. :)

We fixed a few around AC lately, but I guess work wasn't complete.

Thanks,

Heads up. I just tried to apply this on 5.13-rc2 and it failed because cpucaps.
was removed; it's autogenerated now.

See commit 0c6c2d3615ef: ()"arm64: Generate cpucaps.h")

Would something like that make sense?

task_cs() requires rcu_read_lock(), but I can't see how the lock is obtained
from cpuset_attach() path, did I miss it? Running with lockdep should spill
suspicious RCU usage warning.

Maybe it makes more sense to move the rcu_read_lock() inside the function now
with task_cs()?

Thanks

Shouldn't we free cpus_allowed first?

Why do we need to release the pointer here?

Doesn't this mean if a 32bit task requests to change its affinity, then we'll
lose this info and a subsequent execve() to a 64bit application means we won't
be able to restore the original mask?

ie:

	p0-64bit
	  execve(32bit_app)
	    // p1-32bit created
	    p1-32bit.change_affinity()
	      relase_user_cpus_ptr()
	    execve(64bit_app)           // lost info about p0 affinity?

Hmm I think this helped me to get the answer. p1 changed its affinity, then
there's nothing to be inherited by a new execve(), so yes we no longer need
this info.

nit: Should we call out that we're breaking cpuset-v1 behavior? Don't feel
strongly about it.

Shouldn't we take the intersection with possible_mask like we discussed before?

It's late Fri and I'm off next week (I'm starting to sense an omen here, it's
the 2nd or 3rd time the post syncs with my holiday), so a bit of a rushed
review but the series looks good to me. Feel free to stick my Reviewed-by for
the series, except patch 13 where I skipped it, given the few comments I had
are addressed.

I did test v5, but not this version. I think it had found better victims to
test it now :-P

Thanks!

Yeah, that's true. I understand the condition, that the task's affinity
mask has to be a superset of the rd span, as that DL AC (i.e DL BW
management) can only work correctly if all admitted tasks can run on
every CPU in the rd.

Like you said, you can already today let tasks with reduced affinity
mask pass the DL AC in case you hp out the other CPUs and then trick DL
AC by hp in the remaining CPUs and admit more DL tasks. But these steps
require a lot of effort to create this false setup.

The dedicated rd for 32-bit tasks matching `aarch32_el0` in an exclusive
cpuset env seems to be a feasible approach to me. But I also don't see
an eminent use case for this.

Something like dl_cpu_busy() in cpuset_cpu_inactive() but the other way
around in cpuset_cpu_active().

We iterate over all DL tasks in partition_and_rebuild_sched_domains() ->
rebuild_root_domains() -> update_tasks_root_domain() ->
dl_add_task_root_domain(struct task_struct *p) to recreate DL BW
information after CPU hp but this is asynchronously to cpuset_cpu_active().

The function above only runs if we've detected 32-bit support via
aa64pfr0_el1, so I think we're ok. We also have a print when we detect the
mismatch (see enable_mismatched_32bit_el0()).

static_key_enable_cpuslocked() already checks this early on, so I don't
think we need another check here (note that we're not calling stop_machine()
here _anyway_; the '_cpuslocked' suffix just says that we're already holding
cpu_hotplug_lock via the notifier).

I think this is probably the only place that we could use the helper, but
it's also one of the places where architectures that don't have to worry
about asymmetry end up with the check so, yes, I'll do that for v7.

Ah, you are right, no need for an additional check.

It makes sense, you removed the .desc from the arm64_features entry as
well.

I don't fully understand this early return. AFAICT, we still call
setup_elf_hwcaps() via setup_cpu_features() if the system supports
32-bit EL0 (mismatched or not) at boot. For CPU hotplug, we can add the
compat hwcaps later if we didn't set them up at boot. So this part is
fine.

However, if CPU0 is 32-bit-capable, it looks like we'd never disable the
offlining on any of the 32-bit-capable CPUs and there's nothing that
prevents offlining CPU0.

The logic looks alright to me but I suspect most arguments are around
the scheduler behaviour.

Yes, and that's what the '!cpumask_subset()' check is doing above. Either
we use the valid subset of the cpuset mask (which is the intersection with
the possible mask) or we bail if that set is empty.

That is also deferred until we actually detect the mismatch. For example, if
CPU0 is 32-bit capable but none of the others are, then when we online CPU1
we will print:

  | CPU features: Asymmetric 32-bit EL0 support detected on CPU 1; CPU hot-unplug disabled on CPU 0

so the check above is really asking "Is the CPU being onlined mismatched wrt
the boot CPU?". If yes, then we need to make sure that we're keeping a
32-bit-capable CPU around.

That's a really interesting point that I hadn't previously considered. It
means that the effects of 32-bit tasks with forced affinity are far
reaching when it comes to deadline tasks.

I've implemented AC on execve() of a 32-bit program so we'll fail that system
call with -ENOEXEC if the root domain contains 64-bit-only CPUs. As expected,
the failure mode is awful because it seems as though the ELF binary is then
treated like a shell script by userspace and passed to /bin/sh:

$ sudo chrt -d -T 5000000 -P 16666666 0 ./hello32
./hello32: 1: Syntax error: word unexpected (expecting ")")

Anyway, I'll include this in v7.

Cheers,

Will

Well spotted! I'll add the rcu_read_[un]lock() calls to
guarantee_online_cpus().

We free the mask when the task exits so we don't actually need to clean up
here. I left it like this on the assumption that failing here means that
it's very likely that either the task will exit or retry very soon.

However I agree that it would be clearer to free the thing anyway, so I'll
rejig the code to do that.

I think the text is pretty clear that the new behaviour documented here
applies to cpuset-v1 and I wouldn't say we're breaking anything as we're not
changing any of the existing behaviours.

Thanks, Qais. I'm planning a v7 with quite a few changes, so it's probably
best if you offer your Reviewed-by on individual patches when you're happy
with them rather than me adding it to code that I'm still tweaking. But
thanks for the offer!

Have a good week off,

Will

Got it now, the offlining will only be disabled if we detected a
mismatch. For this patch:
