Core-Scheduling
===============
Enclosed is series v9 of core scheduling.
v9 is rebased on tip/master (fe4adf6f92c4 ("Merge branch 'irq/core'"))..
I hope that this version is acceptable to be merged (pending any new review
comments that arise) as the main issues in the past are all resolved:
 1. Vruntime comparison.
 2. Documentation updates.
 3. CGroup and per-task interface developed by Google and Oracle.
 4. Hotplug fixes.
Almost all patches also have Reviewed-by or Acked-by tag. See below for full
list of changes in v9.

Introduction of feature
=======================
Core scheduling is a feature that allows only trusted tasks to run
concurrently on cpus sharing compute resources (eg: hyperthreads on a
core). The goal is to mitigate the core-level side-channel attacks
without requiring to disable SMT (which has a significant impact on
performance in some situations). Core scheduling (as of v7) mitigates
user-space to user-space attacks and user to kernel attack when one of
the siblings enters the kernel via interrupts or system call.

By default, the feature doesn't change any of the current scheduler
behavior. The user decides which tasks can run simultaneously on the
same core (for now by having them in the same tagged cgroup). When a tag
is enabled in a cgroup and a task from that cgroup is running on a
hardware thread, the scheduler ensures that only idle or trusted tasks
run on the other sibling(s). Besides security concerns, this feature can
also be beneficial for RT and performance applications where we want to
control how tasks make use of SMT dynamically.

Both a CGroup and Per-task interface via prctl(2) are provided for configuring
core sharing. More details are provided in documentation patch.  Kselftests are
provided to verify the correctness/rules of the interface.

Testing
=======
ChromeOS testing shows 300% improvement in keypress latency on a Google
docs key press with Google hangout test (the maximum latency drops from 150ms
to 50ms for keypresses).

Julien: TPCC tests showed improvements with core-scheduling as below. With kernel
protection enabled, it does not show any regression. Possibly ASI will improve
the performance for those who choose kernel protection (can be toggled through
sched_core_protect_kernel sysctl).
				average		stdev		diff
baseline (SMT on)		1197.272	44.78312824	
core sched (   kernel protect)	412.9895	45.42734343	-65.51%
core sched (no kernel protect)	686.6515	71.77756931	-42.65%
nosmt				408.667		39.39042872	-65.87%
(Note these results are from v8).

Vineeth tested sysbench and does not see any regressions.
Hong and Aubrey tested v9 and see results similar to v8. There is a known issue
with uperf that does regress. This appears to be because of ksoftirq heavily
contending with other tasks on the core. The consensus is this can be improved
in the future.

Changes in v9
=============
- Note that the vruntime snapshot change is written in 2 patches to show the
  progression of the idea and prevent merge conflicts:
    sched/fair: Snapshot the min_vruntime of CPUs on force idle
    sched: Improve snapshotting of min_vruntime for CGroups
  Same with the RT priority inversion change:
    sched: Fix priority inversion of cookied task with sibling
    sched: Improve snapshotting of min_vruntime for CGroups
- Disable coresched on certain AMD HW.

From: Peter Zijlstra <peterz@infradead.org>

Because sched_class::pick_next_task() also implies
sched_class::set_next_task() (and possibly put_prev_task() and
newidle_balance) it is not state invariant. This makes it unsuitable
for remote task selection.

From: Peter Zijlstra <peterz@infradead.org>

pick_next_entity() is passed curr == NULL during core-scheduling. Due to
this, if the rbtree is empty, the 'left' variable is set to NULL within
the function. This can cause crashes within the function.

This is not an issue if put_prev_task() is invoked on the currently
running task before calling pick_next_entity(). However, in core
scheduling, it is possible that a sibling CPU picks for another RQ in
the core, via pick_task_fair(). This remote sibling would not get any
opportunities to do a put_prev_task().

Fix it by refactoring pick_task_fair() such that pick_next_entity() is
called with the cfs_rq->curr. This will prevent pick_next_entity() from
crashing if its rbtree is empty.

Also this fixes another possible bug where update_curr() would not be
called on the cfs_rq hierarchy if the rbtree is empty. This could effect
cross-cpu comparison of vruntime.

From: Peter Zijlstra <peterz@infradead.org>

Introduce task_struct::core_cookie as an opaque identifier for core
scheduling. When enabled; core scheduling will only allow matching
task to be on the core; where idle matches everything.

When task_struct::core_cookie is set (and core scheduling is enabled)
these tasks are indexed in a second RB-tree, first on cookie value
then on scheduling function, such that matching task selection always
finds the most elegible match.

NOTE: *shudder* at the overhead...

NOTE: *sigh*, a 3rd copy of the scheduling function; the alternative
is per class tracking of cookies and that just duplicates a lot of
stuff for no raisin (the 2nd copy lives in the rt-mutex PI code).

Instead of only selecting a local task, select a task for all SMT
siblings for every reschedule on the core (irrespective which logical
CPU does the reschedule).

From: Vineeth Pillai <viremana@linux.microsoft.com>

If there is only one long running local task and the sibling is
forced idle, it  might not get a chance to run until a schedule
event happens on any cpu in the core.

So we check for this condition during a tick to see if a sibling
is starved and then give it a chance to schedule.

During force-idle, we end up doing cross-cpu comparison of vruntimes
during pick_next_task. If we simply compare (vruntime-min_vruntime)
across CPUs, and if the CPUs only have 1 task each, we will always
end up comparing 0 with 0 and pick just one of the tasks all the time.
This starves the task that was not picked. To fix this, take a snapshot
of the min_vruntime when entering force idle and use it for comparison.
This min_vruntime snapshot will only be used for cross-CPU vruntime
comparison, and nothing else.

This resolves several performance issues that were seen in ChromeOS
audio usecase.

NOTE: Note, this patch will be improved in a later patch. It is just
      kept here as the basis for the later patch and to make rebasing
      easier. Further, it may make reverting the improvement easier in
      case the improvement causes any regression.

From: Peter Zijlstra <peterz@infradead.org>

The rationale is as follows. In the core-wide pick logic, even if
need_sync == false, we need to go look at other CPUs (non-local CPUs) to
see if they could be running RT.

Say the RQs in a particular core look like this:
Let CFS1 and CFS2 be 2 tagged CFS tags. Let RT1 be an untagged RT task.

rq0            rq1
CFS1 (tagged)  RT1 (not tag)
CFS2 (tagged)

Say schedule() runs on rq0. Now, it will enter the above loop and
pick_task(RT) will return NULL for 'p'. It will enter the above if() block
and see that need_sync == false and will skip RT entirely.

The end result of the selection will be (say prio(CFS1) > prio(CFS2)):
rq0             rq1
CFS1            IDLE

When it should have selected:
rq0             r1
IDLE            RT

Joel saw this issue on real-world usecases in ChromeOS where an RT task
gets constantly force-idled and breaks RT. Lets cure it.

NOTE: This problem will be fixed differently in a later patch. It just
      kept here for reference purposes about this issue, and to make
      applying later patches easier.

A waking task may have its vruntime adjusted. However, the code right
now puts it into the core queue without the adjustment. This means the
core queue may have a task with incorrect vruntime, potentially a very
long one. This may cause a task to get artificially boosted during
picking.

Fix it by enqueuing into the core queue only after the class-specific
enqueue callback has been called. This ensures that for CFS tasks, the
updated vruntime value is used when enqueuing the task into the core
rbtree.

The core pick loop grew a lot of warts over time to support
optimizations. Turns out that that directly doing a class pick before
entering the core-wide pick is better for readability. Make the changes.

Since this is a relatively new patch, make it a separate patch so that
it is easier to revert in case anyone reports an issue with it. Testing
shows it to be working for me.

From: Peter Zijlstra <peterz@infradead.org>

When a sibling is forced-idle to match the core-cookie; search for
matching tasks to fill the core.

rcu_read_unlock() can incur an infrequent deadlock in
sched_core_balance(). Fix this by using the RCU-sched flavor instead.

From: Aubrey Li <aubrey.li@intel.com>

 - Don't migrate if there is a cookie mismatch
     Load balance tries to move task from busiest CPU to the
     destination CPU. When core scheduling is enabled, if the
     task's cookie does not match with the destination CPU's
     core cookie, this task will be skipped by this CPU. This
     mitigates the forced idle time on the destination CPU.

 - Select cookie matched idle CPU
     In the fast path of task wakeup, select the first cookie matched
     idle CPU instead of the first idle CPU.

 - Find cookie matched idlest CPU
     In the slow path of task wakeup, find the idlest CPU whose core
     cookie matches with task's cookie

 - Don't migrate task if cookie not match
     For the NUMA load balance, don't migrate task to the CPU whose
     core cookie does not match with task's cookie

A previous patch improved cross-cpu vruntime comparison opertations in
pick_next_task(). Improve it further for tasks in CGroups.

In particular, for cross-CPU comparisons, we were previously going to
the root-level se(s) for both the task being compared. That was strange.
This patch instead finds the se(s) for both tasks that have the same
parent (which may be different from root).

A note about the min_vruntime snapshot and force idling:
Abbreviations: fi: force-idled now? ; fib: force-idled before?
During selection:
When we're not fi, we need to update snapshot.
when we're fi and we were not fi, we must update snapshot.
When we're fi and we were already fi, we must not update snapshot.

Which gives:
        fib     fi      update?
        0       0       1
        0       1       1
        1       0       1
        1       1       0
So the min_vruntime snapshot needs to be updated when: !(fib && fi).

Also, the cfs_prio_less() function needs to be aware of whether the core
is in force idle or not, since it will be use this information to know
whether to advance a cfs_rq's min_vruntime_fi in the hierarchy. So pass
this information along via pick_task() -> prio_less().

From: Peter Zijlstra <peterz@infradead.org>

Get rid of the __call_single_node union and clean up the API a little
to avoid external code relying on the structure layout as much.

(Needed for irq_work_is_busy() API in core-scheduling series).

Add a new TIF flag to indicate whether the kernel needs to be careful
and take additional steps to mitigate micro-architectural issues during
entry into user or guest mode.

This new flag will be used by the series to determine if waiting is
needed or not, during exit to user or guest mode.

Core-scheduling prevents hyperthreads in usermode from attacking each
other, but it does not do anything about one of the hyperthreads
entering the kernel for any reason. This leaves the door open for MDS
and L1TF attacks with concurrent execution sequences between
hyperthreads.

This patch therefore adds support for protecting all syscall and IRQ
kernel mode entries. Care is taken to track the outermost usermode exit
and entry using per-cpu counters. In cases where one of the hyperthreads
enter the kernel, no additional IPIs are sent. Further, IPIs are avoided
when not needed - example: idle and non-cookie HTs do not need to be
forced into kernel mode.

More information about attacks:
For MDS, it is possible for syscalls, IRQ and softirq handlers to leak
data to either host or guest attackers. For L1TF, it is possible to leak
to guest attackers. There is no possible mitigation involving flushing
of buffers to avoid this since the execution of attacker and victims
happen concurrently on 2 or more HTs.

protection when entering and exiting idle, respectively.

While at it, remove a stale RCU comment.

Similar to how user to kernel mode transitions are protected in earlier
patches, protect the entry into kernel from guest mode as well.

From: Peter Zijlstra <peterz@infradead.org>

Marks all tasks in a cgroup as matching for core-scheduling.

A task will need to be moved into the core scheduler queue when the cgroup
it belongs to is tagged to run with core scheduling.  Similarly the task
will need to be moved out of the core scheduler queue when the cgroup
is untagged.

Also after we forked a task, its core scheduler queue's presence will
need to be updated according to its new cgroup's status.

Use stop machine mechanism to update all tasks in a cgroup to prevent a
new task from sneaking into the cgroup, and missed out from the update
while we iterates through all the tasks in the cgroup.  A more complicated
scheme could probably avoid the stop machine.  Such scheme will also
need to resovle inconsistency between a task's cgroup core scheduling
tag and residency in core scheduler queue.

We are opting for the simple stop machine mechanism for now that avoids
such complications.

Core scheduler has extra overhead.  Enable it only for core with
more than one SMT hardware threads.

In order to prevent interference and clearly support both per-task and CGroup
APIs, split the cookie into 2 and allow it to be set from either per-task, or
CGroup API. The final cookie is the combined value of both and is computed when
the stop-machine executes during a change of cookie.

Also, for the per-task cookie, it will get weird if we use pointers of any
emphemeral objects. For this reason, introduce a refcounted object who's sole
purpose is to assign unique cookie value by way of the object's pointer.

While at it, refactor the CGroup code a bit. Future patches will introduce more
APIs and support.

Add a per-thread core scheduling interface which allows a thread to share a
core with another thread, or have a core exclusively for itself.

ChromeOS uses core-scheduling to securely enable hyperthreading.  This cuts
down the keypress latency in Google docs from 150ms to 50ms while improving
the camera streaming frame rate by ~3%.

During exit, we have to free the references to a cookie that might be shared by
many tasks. This commit therefore ensures when the task_struct is released, any
references to cookies that it holds are also released.

From: Josh Don <joshdon@google.com>

The overall core cookie is currently a single unsigned long value. This
poses issues as we seek to add additional sub-fields to the cookie. This
patch refactors the core_cookie to be a pointer to a struct containing
an arbitrary set of cookie fields.

We maintain a sorted RB tree of existing core cookies so that multiple
tasks may share the same core_cookie.

This will be especially useful in the next patch, where the concept of
cookie color is introduced.

From: Josh Don <joshdon@google.com>

Google has a usecase where the first level tag to tag a CGroup is not
sufficient. So, a patch is carried for years where a second tag is added which
is writeable by unprivileged users.

Google uses DAC controls to make the 'tag' possible to set only by root while
the second-level 'color' can be changed by anyone. The actual names that
Google uses is different, but the concept is the same.

The hierarchy looks like:

Root group
   / \
  A   B    (These are created by the root daemon - borglet).
 / \   \
C   D   E  (These are created by AppEngine within the container).

The reason why Google has two parts is that AppEngine wants to allow a subset of
subcgroups within a parent tagged cgroup sharing execution. Think of these
subcgroups belong to the same customer or project. Because these subcgroups are
created by AppEngine, they are not tracked by borglet (the root daemon),
therefore borglet won't have a chance to set a color for them. That's where
'color' file comes from. Color could be set by AppEngine, and once set, the
normal tasks within the subcgroup would not be able to overwrite it. This is
enforced by promoting the permission of the color file in cgroupfs.

core.c is already huge. The core-tagging interface code is largely
independent of it. Move it to its own file to make both files easier to
maintain.

Also make the following changes:
- Fix SWA bugs found by Chris Hyser.
- Fix refcount underrun caused by not zero'ing new task's cookie.

+Core Scheduling
+***************
+Core scheduling support allows userspace to define groups of tasks that can
+share a core. These groups can be specified either for security usecases (one
+group of tasks don't trust another), or for performance usecases (some
+workloads may benefit from running on the same core as they don't need the same
+hardware resources of the shared core).
+
+Security usecase
+----------------
+A cross-HT attack involves the attacker and victim running on different
+Hyper Threads of the same core. MDS and L1TF are examples of such attacks.
+Without core scheduling, the only full mitigation of cross-HT attacks is to
+disable Hyper Threading (HT). Core scheduling allows HT to be turned on safely
+by ensuring that trusted tasks can share a core. This increase in core sharing
+can improvement performance, however it is not guaranteed that performance will
+always improve, though that is seen to be the case with a number of real world
+workloads. In theory, core scheduling aims to perform at least as good as when
+Hyper Threading is disabled. In practice, this is mostly the case though not
+always: as synchronizing scheduling decisions across 2 or more CPUs in a core
+involves additional overhead - especially when the system is lightly loaded
+(``total_threads <= N/2``, where N is the total number of CPUs).
+
+Usage
+-----
+Core scheduling support is enabled via the ``CONFIG_SCHED_CORE`` config option.
+Using this feature, userspace defines groups of tasks that trust each other.
+The core scheduler uses this information to make sure that tasks that do not
+trust each other will never run simultaneously on a core, while doing its best
+to satisfy the system's scheduling requirements.
+
+There are 2 ways to use core-scheduling:
+
+CGroup
+######
+Core scheduling adds additional files to the CPU controller CGroup:
+
+* ``cpu.core_tag``
+Writing ``1`` into this file results in all tasks in the group getting tagged.
+This results in all the CGroup's tasks allowed to run concurrently on a core's
+hyperthreads (also called siblings).
+
+The file being a value of ``0`` means the tag state of the CGroup is inherited
+from its parent hierarchy. If any ancestor of the CGroup is tagged, then the
+group is tagged.
+
+.. note:: Once a CGroup is tagged via cpu.core_tag, it is not possible to set this
+          for any descendant of the tagged group. For finer grained control, the
+          ``cpu.core_tag_color`` file described next may be used.
+
+.. note:: When a CGroup is not tagged, all the tasks within the group can share
+          a core with kernel threads and untagged system threads. For this reason,
+          if a group has ``cpu.core_tag`` of 0, it is considered to be trusted.
+
+* ``cpu.core_tag_color``
+For finer grained control over core sharing, a color can also be set in
+addition to the tag. This allows to further control core sharing between child
+CGroups within an already tagged CGroup. The color and the tag are both used to
+generate a `cookie` which is used by the scheduler to identify the group.
+
+Up to 256 different colors can be set (0-255) by writing into this file.
+
+A sample real-world usage of this file follows:
+
+Google uses DAC controls to make ``cpu.core_tag`` writable only by root and the
+``cpu.core_tag_color`` can be changed by anyone.
+
+The hierarchy looks like this:
+::
+  Root group
+     / \
+    A   B    (These are created by the root daemon - borglet).
+   / \   \
+  C   D   E  (These are created by AppEngine within the container).
+
+A and B are containers for 2 different jobs or apps that are created by a root
+daemon called borglet. borglet then tags each of these group with the ``cpu.core_tag``
+file. The job itself can create additional child CGroups which are colored by
+the container's AppEngine with the ``cpu.core_tag_color`` file.
+
+The reason why Google uses this 2-level tagging system is that AppEngine wants to
+allow a subset of child CGroups within a tagged parent CGroup to be co-scheduled on a
+core while not being co-scheduled with other child CGroups. Think of these
+child CGroups as belonging to the same customer or project.  Because these
+child CGroups are created by AppEngine, they are not tracked by borglet (the
+root daemon), therefore borglet won't have a chance to set a color for them.
+That's where cpu.core_tag_color file comes in. A color could be set by AppEngine,
+and once set, the normal tasks within the subcgroup would not be able to
+overwrite it. This is enforced by promoting the permission of the
+``cpu.core_tag_color`` file in cgroupfs.
+
+The color is an 8-bit value allowing for up to 256 unique colors.
+
+.. note:: Once a CGroup is colored, none of its descendants can be re-colored. Also
+          coloring of a CGroup is possible only if either the group or one of its
+          ancestors was tagged via the ``cpu.core_tag`` file.
+
+prctl interface
+###############
+A ``prtcl(2)`` command ``PR_SCHED_CORE_SHARE`` is available to a process to request
+sharing a core with another process.  For example, consider 2 processes ``P1``
+and ``P2`` with PIDs 100 and 200. If process ``P1`` calls
+``prctl(PR_SCHED_CORE_SHARE, 200)``, the kernel makes ``P1`` share a core with ``P2``.
+The kernel performs ptrace access mode checks before granting the request.
+
+.. note:: This operation is not commutative. P1 calling
+          ``prctl(PR_SCHED_CORE_SHARE, pidof(P2)`` is not the same as P2 calling the
+          same for P1. The former case is P1 joining P2's group of processes
+          (which P2 would have joined with ``prctl(2)`` prior to P1's ``prctl(2)``).
+
+.. note:: The core-sharing granted with prctl(2) will be subject to
+          core-sharing restrictions specified by the CGroup interface. For example
+          if P1 and P2 are a part of 2 different tagged CGroups, then they will
+          not share a core even if a prctl(2) call is made. This is analogous
+          to how affinities are set using the cpuset interface.
+
+It is important to note that, on a ``CLONE_THREAD`` ``clone(2)`` syscall, the child
+will be assigned the same tag as its parent and thus be allowed to share a core
+with them. This design choice is because, for the security usecase, a
+``CLONE_THREAD`` child can access its parent's address space anyway, so there's
+no point in not allowing them to share a core. If a different behavior is
+desired, the child thread can call ``prctl(2)`` as needed.  This behavior is
+specific to the ``prctl(2)`` interface. For the CGroup interface, the child of a
+fork always shares a core with its parent.  On the other hand, if a parent
+was previously tagged via ``prctl(2)`` and does a regular ``fork(2)`` syscall, the
+child will receive a unique tag.
+
+Design/Implementation
+---------------------
+Each task that is tagged is assigned a cookie internally in the kernel. As
+mentioned in `Usage`_, tasks with the same cookie value are assumed to trust
+each other and share a core.
+
+The basic idea is that, every schedule event tries to select tasks for all the
+siblings of a core such that all the selected tasks running on a core are
+trusted (same cookie) at any point in time. Kernel threads are assumed trusted.
+The idle task is considered special, as it trusts everything and everything
+trusts it.
+
+During a schedule() event on any sibling of a core, the highest priority task on
+the sibling's core is picked and assigned to the sibling calling schedule(), if
+the sibling has the task enqueued. For rest of the siblings in the core,
+highest priority task with the same cookie is selected if there is one runnable
+in their individual run queues. If a task with same cookie is not available,
+the idle task is selected.  Idle task is globally trusted.
+
+Once a task has been selected for all the siblings in the core, an IPI is sent to
+siblings for whom a new task was selected. Siblings on receiving the IPI will
+switch to the new task immediately. If an idle task is selected for a sibling,
+then the sibling is considered to be in a `forced idle` state. I.e., it may
+have tasks on its on runqueue to run, however it will still have to run idle.
+More on this in the next section.
+
+Forced-idling of tasks
+----------------------
+The scheduler tries its best to find tasks that trust each other such that all
+tasks selected to be scheduled are of the highest priority in a core.  However,
+it is possible that some runqueues had tasks that were incompatible with the
+highest priority ones in the core. Favoring security over fairness, one or more
+siblings could be forced to select a lower priority task if the highest
+priority task is not trusted with respect to the core wide highest priority
+task.  If a sibling does not have a trusted task to run, it will be forced idle
+by the scheduler (idle thread is scheduled to run).
+
+When the highest priority task is selected to run, a reschedule-IPI is sent to
+the sibling to force it into idle. This results in 4 cases which need to be
+considered depending on whether a VM or a regular usermode process was running
+on either HT::
+
+          HT1 (attack)            HT2 (victim)
+   A      idle -> user space      user space -> idle
+   B      idle -> user space      guest -> idle
+   C      idle -> guest           user space -> idle
+   D      idle -> guest           guest -> idle
+
+Note that for better performance, we do not wait for the destination CPU
+(victim) to enter idle mode. This is because the sending of the IPI would bring
+the destination CPU immediately into kernel mode from user space, or VMEXIT
+in the case of guests. At best, this would only leak some scheduler metadata
+which may not be worth protecting. It is also possible that the IPI is received
+too late on some architectures, but this has not been observed in the case of
+x86.
+
+Kernel protection from untrusted tasks
+--------------------------------------
+Entry into the kernel (syscall, IRQ or VMEXIT) needs protection.  The scheduler
+on its own cannot protect the kernel executing concurrently with an untrusted
+task in a core. This is because the scheduler is unaware of interrupts/syscalls
+at scheduling time. To mitigate this, an IPI is sent to siblings on kernel
+entry. This IPI forces the sibling to enter kernel mode and wait before
+returning to user until all siblings of the core have left kernel mode. This
+process is also known as stunning.  For good performance, an IPI is sent only
+to a sibling only if it is running a tagged task. If a sibling is running a
+kernel thread or is idle, no IPI is sent.
+
+The kernel protection feature is on my default and can be turned off on the
+kernel command line by passing ``sched_core_protect_kernel=0``.
+
+Note that an arch has to define the ``TIF_UNSAFE_RET`` thread info flag to be
+able to use kernel protection. Also, if protecting the kernel from a VM is
+desired, an arch should call kvm_exit_to_guest_mode() during ``VMENTER`` and
+kvm_exit_to_guest_mode() during ``VMEXIT``. Currently, x86 support both these.
+
+Other alternative ideas discussed for kernel protection are listed below just
+for completeness. They all have limitations:
+
+1. Changing interrupt affinities to a trusted core which does not execute untrusted tasks
+#########################################################################################
+By changing the interrupt affinities to a designated safe-CPU which runs
+only trusted tasks, IRQ data can be protected. One issue is this involves
+giving up a full CPU core of the system to run safe tasks. Another is that,
+per-cpu interrupts such as the local timer interrupt cannot have their
+affinity changed. Also, sensitive timer callbacks such as the random entropy timer
+can run in softirq on return from these interrupts and expose sensitive
+data. In the future, that could be mitigated by forcing softirqs into threaded
+mode by utilizing a mechanism similar to ``CONFIG_PREEMPT_RT``.
+
+Yet another issue with this is, for multiqueue devices with managed
+interrupts, the IRQ affinities cannot be changed; however it could be
+possible to force a reduced number of queues which would in turn allow to
+shield one or two CPUs from such interrupts and queue handling for the price
+of indirection.
+
+2. Running IRQs as threaded-IRQs
+################################
+This would result in forcing IRQs into the scheduler which would then provide
+the process-context mitigation. However, not all interrupts can be threaded.
+Also this does nothing about syscall entries.
+
+3. Kernel Address Space Isolation
+#################################
+System calls could run in a much restricted address space which is
+guaranteed not to leak any sensitive data. There are practical limitation in
+implementing this - the main concern being how to decide on an address space
+that is guaranteed to not have any sensitive data.
+
+4. Limited cookie-based protection
+##################################
+On a system call, change the cookie to the system trusted cookie and initiate a
+schedule event. This would be better than pausing all the siblings during the
+entire duration for the system call, but still would be a huge hit to the
+performance.
+
+Trust model
+-----------
+Core scheduling maintains trust relationships amongst groups of tasks by
+assigning the tag of them with the same cookie value.
+When a system with core scheduling boots, all tasks are considered to trust
+each other. This is because the core scheduler does not have information about
+trust relationships until userspace uses the above mentioned interfaces, to
+communicate them. In other words, all tasks have a default cookie value of 0.
+and are considered system-wide trusted. The stunning of siblings running
+cookie-0 tasks is also avoided.
+
+Once userspace uses the above mentioned interfaces to group sets of tasks, tasks
+within such groups are considered to trust each other, but do not trust those
+outside. Tasks outside the group also don't trust tasks within.
+
+coresched command line option
+-----------------------------
+The coresched kernel command line option can be used to:
+  - Keep coresched on even if system is not vulnerable x (``coresched=on``).
+  - Keep coresched off even if system is vulnerable (``coresched=off``).
+  - Keep coresched on only if system is vulnerable x (``coresched=secure``).
+
+The default is ``coresched=secure``. However a user who has a usecase that
+needs core-scheduling, such as improving performance of VMs by tagging vCPU
+threads, could pass ``coresched=on`` to force it on.
+
+Limitations in core-scheduling
+------------------------------
+Core scheduling tries to guarantee that only trusted tasks run concurrently on a
+core. But there could be small window of time during which untrusted tasks run
+concurrently or kernel could be running concurrently with a task not trusted by
+kernel.
+
+1. IPI processing delays
+########################
+Core scheduling selects only trusted tasks to run together. IPI is used to notify
+the siblings to switch to the new task. But there could be hardware delays in
+receiving of the IPI on some arch (on x86, this has not been observed). This may
+cause an attacker task to start running on a CPU before its siblings receive the
+IPI. Even though cache is flushed on entry to user mode, victim tasks on siblings
+may populate data in the cache and micro architectural buffers after the attacker
+starts to run and this is a possibility for data leak.
+
+Open cross-HT issues that core scheduling does not solve
+--------------------------------------------------------
+1. For MDS
+##########
+Core scheduling cannot protect against MDS attacks between an HT running in
+user mode and another running in kernel mode. Even though both HTs run tasks
+which trust each other, kernel memory is still considered untrusted. Such
+attacks are possible for any combination of sibling CPU modes (host or guest mode).
+
+2. For L1TF
+###########
+Core scheduling cannot protect against an L1TF guest attacker exploiting a
+guest or host victim. This is because the guest attacker can craft invalid
+PTEs which are not inverted due to a vulnerable guest kernel. The only
+solution is to disable EPT (Extended Page Tables).
+
+For both MDS and L1TF, if the guest vCPU is configured to not trust each
+other (by tagging separately), then the guest to guest attacks would go away.
+Or it could be a system admin policy which considers guest to guest attacks as
+a guest problem.
+
+Another approach to resolve these would be to make every untrusted task on the
+system to not trust every other untrusted task. While this could reduce
+parallelism of the untrusted tasks, it would still solve the above issues while
+allowing system processes (trusted tasks) to share a core.
+
+Use cases
+---------
+The main use case for Core scheduling is mitigating the cross-HT vulnerabilities
+with SMT enabled. There are other use cases where this feature could be used:
+
+- Isolating tasks that needs a whole core: Examples include realtime tasks, tasks
+  that uses SIMD instructions etc.
+- Gang scheduling: Requirements for a group of tasks that needs to be scheduled
+  together could also be realized using core scheduling. One example is vCPUs of
+  a VM.
+
+Future work
+-----------
+Skipping per-HT mitigations if task is trusted
+##############################################
+If core scheduling is enabled, by default all tasks trust each other as
+mentioned above. In such scenario, it may be desirable to skip the same-HT
+mitigations on return to the trusted user-mode to improve performance.

Some hardware such as certain AMD variants don't have cross-HT MDS/L1TF
issues. Detect this and don't enable core scheduling as it can
needlessly slow those device down.

However, some users may want core scheduling even if the hardware is
secure. To support them, add a coresched= option which defaults to
'secure' and can be overridden to 'on' if the user wants to enable
coresched even if the HW is not vulnerable. 'off' would disable
core scheduling in any case.

Also add a sched_debug entry to indicate if core scheduling is turned on
or not.

Could you clarify games? I presume the intention is to redefine the scope of the lock based on whether core sched is enabled or not? I presume patch 4/32 has the details.

Unless I missed it somewhere else, this "SCHED_CORE" string should be
added to Documentation/admin-guide/kernel-parameters.rst, where there is
a list of "qualifiers" for kernel parameters.

(It looks like you are using it as the name of a Kconfig option, which
makes some sense, but that's not how it's [currently] done. :)

Do we want to optimize this a bit 

if (curr) {
	if (!se || entity_before(curr, se))
		se = curr;

	if ((se != curr) && curr->on_rq)
		update_curr(cfs_rq);

}

It is not clear from the changelog as to what does put_prev_task() do to prevent
the crash from occuring? Why did we pass NULL as curr in the first place to
pick_next_entity?

The patch looks functionally correct as in, it passes curr as the reference
to pick_next_entity() for left and entity_before comparisons.

Your line wrapping broke, I fixed it.

That is in fact the game. By wrapping it, the nature of the locking is
dynamic based on whether core sched is enabled or not (both statically and
dynamically).

Do you see a difference in codegen? What's the optimization?

Also in later patches this code changes, so it should not matter:
See: 3e0838fa3c51 ("sched/fair: Fix pick_task_fair crashes due to empty rbtree")

A little more context on this crash in v8 is here:
https://lwn.net/ml/linux-kernel/8230ada7-839f-2335-9a55-b09f6a813e91@linux.microsoft.com/

The issue here arises from the fact that, we try to pick task for a
sibling while sibling is running a task. Running tasks are not in the
cfs_rq and pick_next_entity can return NULL if there is only one cfs
task in the cfs_rq. This would not happen normally because
put_prev_task is called before pick_task and put_prev_task adds the
task back to cfs_rq. But for coresched, pick_task is called on a
remote sibling's cfs_rq without calling put_prev_task and this can
lead to pick_next_entity returning NULL.

The initial logic of passing NULL would work fine as long as we call
put_prev_task before calling pick_task_fair. But for coresched, we
call pick_task_fair on siblings while the task is running and would
not be able to call put_prev_task. So this refactor of the code fixes
the crash by explicitly passing curr.

Hope this clarifies..

Thanks,
Vineeth

Sorry, I've been using thunderbird from time to time and even though
I set the options specified in the Documentation (email-clients), it's
not working as expected.

My point was that the word game does not do justice to the change, some
details around how this abstractions helps based on the (re)definition of rq
with coresched might help.

Reading through the patch, it seems like all the CPUs have to be
running with sched core enabled/disabled? Is it possible to have some
cores with core sched disabled? I don't see a strong use case for it,
but I am wondering if the design will fall apart if that assumption is
broken?

I wonder if the definition of sched_slice() should be revisited for core
scheduling?

Should we use sched_slice = sched_slice / cpumask_weight(smt_mask)?
Would that resolve the issue your seeing? Effectively we need to answer
if two sched core siblings should be treated as executing one large
slice?

This seems cumbersome, is there no way to track the min_vruntime via
rq->core->min_vruntime?

The changelog is hard to read, it refers to above if(), whereas there
is no code snippet in the changelog. Also, from what I can see following
the series, p->core_cookie is not yet set anywhere (unless I missed it),
so fixing it in here did not make sense just reading the series.

Any reason this is under an #ifdef? In sched_core_cookie_match() won't
the check for sched_core_enabled() do the right thing even when
CONFIG_SCHED_CORE is not enabed?

I was looking at this snippet and comparing this to is_core_idle(), the
major difference is the check for vcpu_is_preempted(). Do we want to
call the core as non idle if any vcpu was preempted on this CPU?

Yes, sched_core_enabled works properly when CONFIG_SCHED_CORE is not
enabled. But when CONFIG_SCHED_CORE is not enabled, it does not make
sense to leave a core scheduler specific function here even at compile
time. Also, for the cases in hot path, this saves CPU cycles to avoid
a judgment.

Yes, if there is a VCPU was preempted on this CPU, better not place task
on this core as the VCPU may be holding a spinlock and wants to be executed
again ASAP.

I am unable to understand this check, a comment or clarification in the
changelog will help. I presume we are looking at either one or two cpus
to define the core_occupation and we expect to match it against the
destination CPU.

Do you mean to have a core wide min_vruntime? We had a
similar approach from v3 to v7 and it had major issues which
broke the assumptions of cfs. There were some lengthy
discussions and Peter explained in-depth about the issues:

IIUC, this check prevents a task from keeping jumping among the cores forever.

For example, on a SMT2 platform:
- core0 runs taskA and taskB, core_occupation is 2
- core1 runs taskC, core_occupation is 1

Without this check, taskB could ping-pong between core0 and core1 by core load
balance.

One of the equations in the link is

">From which immediately follows that:

          T_k + T_l
  S_k+l = ---------                                       (13)
          W_k + W_l

On which we can define a combined lag:

  lag_k+l(i) := S_k+l - s_i                               (14)

And that gives us the tools to compare tasks across a combined runqueue.
"

S_k+l reads like rq->core->vruntime, but it sounds like the equivalent
of rq->core->vruntime is updated when we enter forced idle as opposed to
all the time.

But the comparison is p->core_occuption (as in tasks core occuptation,

p->core_occupation is assigned to the core occupation in the last pick_next_task.
(so yes, it can have a > 1 core_occupation).

Yep, patch even says so:

The use-case I have is not using stop-machine. That is, stopping a whole
core at a time, instead of the whole sodding machine. It's on the todo
list *somewhere*....

This patch should not exist; it should be smashed into the previous
patch. There is no point in preserving a crash.

Yes, but actually computing and maintaining it is hella hard. Try it
with the very first example in that email (the infeasible weight
scenario) and tell me how it works for you ;-)

Also note that the text below (6) mentions dynamic, then look up the
EEVDF paper which describes some of the dynamics -- the paper is
incomplete and contains a bug, I forget if it ever got updated or if
there's another paper that completes it (the BQF I/O scheduler started
from that and fixed it).

I'm not saying it cannot be done, I'm just saying it is really rather
involved and probably not worth it.

The basic observation the current approach relies on is that al that
faffery basically boils down to the fact that vruntime only means
something when there is contention. And that only the progression is
important not the actual value. That is, this is all fundamentally a
differential equation and our integration constant is meaningless (also
embodied in (7)).

Also, I think the code as proposed here relies on SMT2 and is buggered
for SMT3+. Now, that second link above describes means of making SMT3+
work, but we're not there yet.

Hurmph.. so I'm tempted to smash a bunch of patches together.

 2 <- 3 (already done - bisection crashes are daft)
 6 <- 11
 7 <- {10, 12}
 9 <- 15

I'm thinking that would result in an easier to read series, or do we
want to preserve this history?

(fwiw, I pulled 15 before 13,14, as I think that makes more sense
anyway).

Hmm?

This isn't what I send you here:

Specifically, you've lost the whole cfs-cgroup optimization.

Apologies. I was just going by folks who were CC'd on previous series.
I am new to doing this series's postings.  Sorry if I missed you and

No, that's nonsense. If it works, remove the #ifdef. Less (#ifdef) is
more.

If you're doing core scheduling on vcpus, you deserve all the pain
possible.

So if TIF_NEED_RESCHED gets set, we'll break out and reschedule, cute.

I'm confused.. arch_cpu_idle_{enter,exit}() weren't conveniently placed

I had replied to it here with concerns about the effects of newly idle
balancing not being reverseable, it was only a theoretical concern:
http://lore.kernel.org/r/20201105185019.GA2771003@google.com

Also I was trying to keep the logic the same as v8 for unconstrained pick
(calling pick_task), considering that has been tested quite a bit.

> Specifically, you've lost the whole cfs-cgroup optimization.

Are you referring to this optimization in pick_next_task_fair() ?

/*
 * Since we haven't yet done put_prev_entity and if the
 * selected task
 * is a different task than we started out with, try
 * and touch the
 * least amount of cfs_rqs.
 */

You are right, we wouldn't get that with just calling pick_task_fair(). We
did not have this in v8 series either though.

Also, if the task is a cookied task, then I think you are doing more work
with your patch due to the extra put_prev_task().

> What was wrong/not working with the below?

Other than the new idle balancing, IIRC it was also causing instability.
Maybe we can considering this optimization in the future if that's Ok with
you?

Either way would be Ok with me, I would suggest retaining the history though
so that the details in the changelog are preserved of the issues we faced,
and in the future we can refer back to them.

I was concerned about something like below for weakly-ordered arch:

Kernel				Attacker
------                          --------
write unsafe=1

kernel code does stores		while (unsafe == 1); (ACQUIRE)
   ^                             ^
   | needs to be ordered	 | needs to be ordered
   v                             v
write unsafe=0 (RELEASE)        Attacker code.


Here, I want the access made by kernel code to be ordered WRT the write to
the unsafe nesting counter variable, so that the attacker code does not see
those accesses later.

It could be argued its a theoretical concern, but I wanted to play it safe. In
particular, the existing uarch buffer flushing before entering the Attacker
code might make it sufficiently impossible for Attacker to do anything bad
even without the additional memory barriers.

I tried this approach. The main issue is sending IPIs if a previous IPI was
already sent. I needed some mechanism (shared variables to detect this)
so that an IPI would not be sent if one was just sent.

With irq_work, I get the irq_work_is_busy() which helps with exactly that.
With other approaches I tried, I ran into issues with CSD locking and it
seems irq_work implements the CSD locking the way I wanted to. So to avoid
reinventing the wheel, I stuck to irq_work and it worked well.

thanks,

Yeah sorry :-\. The naming I chose was to be aligned with the
CONFIG_GENERIC_ENTRY naming. I am open to ideas on that.

The way this patch series works, it does not depend on arch code as much as
possible. Since there are other arch that may need this patchset such as ARM,
it may be better to keep it in the generic entry code.  Thoughts?

Yeah sorry, it comes from this email where I described the issue:
http://lore.kernel.org/r/20201023175724.GA3563800@google.com

I corrected the changelog and appended the patch below. Also pushed it to:
https://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/jfern/linux.git/log/?h=coresched

The interface patches for core_cookie are added later, that's how it is. The
infrastructure comes first here. It would also not make sense to add
interface first as well so I think the current ordering is fine.

From: Peter Zijlstra <peterz@infradead.org>
Subject: [PATCH] sched: Fix priority inversion of cookied task with sibling

The rationale is as follows. In the core-wide pick logic, even if
need_sync == false, we need to go look at other CPUs (non-local CPUs) to
see if they could be running RT.

Say the RQs in a particular core look like this:
Let CFS1 and CFS2 be 2 tagged CFS tags. Let RT1 be an untagged RT task.

rq0            rq1
CFS1 (tagged)  RT1 (not tag)
CFS2 (tagged)

The end result of the selection will be (say prio(CFS1) > prio(CFS2)):
rq0             rq1
CFS1            IDLE

When it should have selected:
rq0             r1
IDLE            RT

Fix this issue by forcing need_sync and restarting the search if a
cookied task was discovered. This will avoid this optimization from
making incorrect picks.

Joel saw this issue on real-world usecases in ChromeOS where an RT task
gets constantly force-idled and breaks RT. Lets cure it.

NOTE: This problem will be fixed differently in a later patch. It just
      kept here for reference purposes about this issue, and to make
      applying later patches easier.

Subject: [PATCH 14/33] sched: migration changes for core scheduling

 - Don't migrate if there is a cookie mismatch
     Load balance tries to move task from busiest CPU to the
     destination CPU. When core scheduling is enabled, if the
     task's cookie does not match with the destination CPU's
     core cookie, this task will be skipped by this CPU. This
     mitigates the forced idle time on the destination CPU.

 - Select cookie matched idle CPU
     In the fast path of task wakeup, select the first cookie matched
     idle CPU instead of the first idle CPU.

 - Find cookie matched idlest CPU
     In the slow path of task wakeup, find the idlest CPU whose core
     cookie matches with task's cookie

 - Don't migrate task if cookie not match
     For the NUMA load balance, don't migrate task to the CPU whose
     core cookie does not match with task's cookie

Gah, missed that. I don't think that matters much see:
put_prev_task_balance() calling balance_fair().

Yep, that. The giant FAIR_GROUP_SCHED hunk. The thing that makes
all of pick_next_task() more complicated than it really wants to be.

Yes, but only if you mix cookie tasks with non-cookie tasks and schedule
two non-cookie tasks back-to-back. I don't think we care overly much
about that.

I think it makes more sense to ensure that if you have core-sched
enabled on your machine and have a (core-aligned) parition with
non-cookie tasks, scheduling has works as 'normal' as possible.

Hurmph.. you don't happen to remember what went splat?

Well, in part that's what we have mail archives for. My main concern is
that there's a lot of back and forth in the patches as presented and
that makes review really awkward.

I've done some of the patch munging proposed, I might do more if I find
the motivation.

But first I should probably go read all that API crud you did on top,
I've not read that before...

I didn't necessarily mean using those hooks, even placing your new hooks
right next to them would've covered the exact same code with less lines
modified.

So I don't like the parameter name, it's too long. Also I don't like it
because its a boolean.

You're adding syscall,irq,kvm under a single knob where they're all due
to different flavours of broken. Different hardware might want/need
different combinations.

Hardware without MDS but with L1TF wouldn't need the syscall hook, but
you're not givng a choice here. And this is generic code, you can't
assume stuff like this.

Might be useful to explain why exactly none of the many pid_t's are

This seems dangerous; afaict there is nothing that prevents cookie

sched_core_set_cookie() would be a saner name, given that description,

See below, but afaict this should be refcount_inc().

afaict this should be refcount_inc(), as this can never fail and if it
does, it's an error.

afaict this can never fail either, because you're calling in here with a

This is one of those patches that just shouldn't exist. Squash it into
whatever patch that introduces this nonsense.

Coding-Style fail.

Also, why?!? I realize it is true for your case, because hardware fail.
But in general this just isn't true. This wants to be some configurable
policy.

Why can't the above work by setting 'tag' (that's a terrible name, why
does that still live) in CDE? Have the most specific tag live. Same with
that thread stuff.

All this API stuff here is a complete and utter trainwreck. Please just
delete the patches and start over. Hint: if you use stop_machine(),
you're doing it wrong.

At best you now have the requirements sorted.

This is all sorts of wrong, and the reason is because you hard-coded
that stupid policy.

Core scheduling should always be available on SMT (provided you did that
CONFIG_ thing). Even on AMD systems RT tasks might want to claim the
core exclusively.

Calling pick_next_entity clears buddies. This is fine without
coresched because the se will be the next one. But calling
pick_task_fair doesn't mean that the se will be used

Hmm.. I find that hard to interpret that. But I am happy to re-read the

You still have a bunch of #ifdefs, can't we just do

#ifndef CONFIG_SCHED_CORE
static inline bool sched_core_enabled(struct rq *rq)
{
        return false;
}
#endif

and frankly I think even that is not needed because there is a jump
label __sched_core_enabled that tells us if sched_core is enabled or
not.

This is not entirely true, need_sync is a function of core cookies, so I
think this needs more clarification, it sounds like we enter this when
the core has no cookies, but the task has a core_cookie? The term cookie
is quite overloaded when used in the context of core vs task.

Effectively from what I understand this means that p wants to be
coscheduled, but the core itself is not coscheduling anything at the
moment, so we need to see if we should do a sync and that sync might
cause p to get kicked out and a higher priority class to come in?

OK, I was hoping it could be done in the new RBTree's enqueue/dequeue,
but yes I've not implemented it and I should go back and take a look at
the first example again.

I see, I am yet to read the EEVDF paper, but now I am out on a tangent

I'll reread (6) and (7), I am trying to understand forced idle and
contention together, from what I understand of the patches, there is 

1. two tasks that are core scheduled, in that case vruntime works as
expected on each CPU, but we need to compare their combined vrtuntime
against other tasks on each CPU respectively for them to be
selected/chosen?
2. When one of the tasks selected is a part of the core scheduling group
and the other CPU does not select a core scheduled tasks, we need to ask
ourselves if that CPU should force idle and that's where this logic
comes into play?

I did see the next patch, but the idea is that we don't need to
update_curr() if the picked sched entity is the same as current (se ==
curr). What are the side-effects of not updating curr when se == curr?

Agreed, specifically if we need to have special cgroup tag/association to
enable it.

Yes, it does in the comments, I looked at just the changelog :)

Good to know, I guess that would need a transition of the entire core to
idle and maintenance of a mask that prevents tasks that need core
scheduling from getting off of CPUs that enable core scheduling.

Hmm..., I need another wrapper for CONFIG_SCHED_CORE specific variables.
How about this one?

Subject: [PATCH] sched: migration changes for core scheduling

 - Don't migrate if there is a cookie mismatch
     Load balance tries to move task from busiest CPU to the
     destination CPU. When core scheduling is enabled, if the
     task's cookie does not match with the destination CPU's
     core cookie, this task will be skipped by this CPU. This
     mitigates the forced idle time on the destination CPU.

 - Select cookie matched idle CPU
     In the fast path of task wakeup, select the first cookie matched
     idle CPU instead of the first idle CPU.

 - Find cookie matched idlest CPU
     In the slow path of task wakeup, find the idlest CPU whose core
     cookie matches with task's cookie

 - Don't migrate task if cookie not match
     For the NUMA load balance, don't migrate task to the CPU whose
     core cookie does not match with task's cookie

This #ifdef is not necessary, entry_kernel_protected() does this check
no? The code should also compile anyway from what I can see so far.

I am not sure about the rules of this check, do we have to do this with
irq's disabled? Given that sched_core_enabled() can only change under
stop_machine, can't we optimize this check?

I am sure this is quite unlikely unless your concerned about overflows,

When we force-idle there is contention by definition; there's a task
that wanted to run, but couldn't.

We need to compare across CPUs when the cookies don't match. This is
required to avoid starving one or the other.

When one CPU selects a cookie task, and the other CPU cannot find a
matching task, it must go idle (as idle matches everyone). This is the
basic core-scheduling constraint.

So suppose you have two tasks, A and B, both with a cookie, but not
matching.

Normal scheduling would run A and B concurrent on the two siblings. Core
scheduling obviously cannot do this. When we pick A, the other CPU is
not allowed to run B and thus will have to be forced idle and
vice-versa.

The next problem is avoiding starvation. Assuming equal weight between
the tasks, we'd want to end up running A and B in alternating cycles.

This means having to compare runtimes between A and B, but when they're
on different runqueues the actual vruntime values can be wildly
divergent and cannot be reasily compared (the integration constant is
meaningless but really annoying ;-).

We also cannot use min_vruntime (which is the same as the task vruntime
when there is only a single task), because then you cannot observe
progress. The difference between min_vruntime and the task runtime is
always 0, so you can't tell who just ran and who got starved.

This is where our snapshots come in play, we snapshot vruntime after
task selection (before running), such that at the next pick we can tell
who made progress and who got starved.

By marking the vruntime of both runqueues at the same point in time we
basically normalize away that integration constant. You effectively
reset the vruntime to 0 (through (7), but without iterating all the
tasks and adjusting it).

Does that make sense?

Once you get this, read that second email linked.

Nah, its the same. So each task gets a cookie to identify the 'group' of
tasks (possibly just itself) it is allowed to share a core with.

When we to core task selection, the core gets assigned the cookie of the
group it will run, same thing.

This whole patch is about eliding code-wide task selection when it is
not required. IOW an optimization.

When there wasn't a core cookie (IOW, the previous task selection wasn't
core wide and limited) and the task we just selected for our own CPU
also didn't have a cookie (IOW it doesn't have to be core-wide) we can
skip the core wide task selection and schedule just this CPU and call it
a day.

The logic was subtly wrong, this patch fixes it. A next patch completely
rewrites it again to make it far simpler again. Don't spend time trying
to understand this patch (unless you're _that_ kind of person ;-) but
instead apply the whole thing and look at the resulting pick_next_task()
function.

Again, I think this can be refactored because sched_core_cookie_match checks
for sched_core_enabled()

That's my previous implementation in the earlier version.
But since here is the hot code path, we want to remove the idle
core check in sched_core_cookie_match.

There is a loop here when CONFIG_SCHED_CORE=n, which is unwanted I guess.

Head-ache though; pick_task() was supposed to be stateless, but now
we're modifying a remote runqueue... I suppose it still works, because
irrespective of which task we end up picking (even idle), we'll schedule
the remote CPU, which would've resulted in the same (and possibly
triggered a reschedule if we'd not done it here).

There's a wrinkle through, other than in schedule(), where we dequeue()
and keep running with the current task while we release rq->lock, this
has preemption enabled as well.

This means that if we do this, the remote CPU could preempt, but the
task is then no longer on the runqueue.

I _think_ it all still works, but yuck!

Thanks, I'll look at the git tree and see what the final outcome looks like.

I see, so we basically need a jump label, if sched_core_cookie_match
can be inlined with a check for sched_core_enabled() upfront, it might
solve a lot of the concern, readability of this section of code is not
the best.

This makes code unreadable.
Put this coresched specific stuff in an inline function; You can have

Always use masks to ensure this fits in the space we have, should we be concerned about

Can you please explain how t1 and t2 are related, there is a table below, but
I don't understand case#2, where the cookies get reset, is t2 the core leader
and t2 leads what t1 and t2 collectively get?

May be just called t2 as parent?

May be put it under a #ifdef CONFIG_SCHED_CORE_DEBUG, even then please
make it more driven by selection via tracing rather than just trace_printk()

Yeah so about need_sync, it is basically a flag that says if the HT running
the schedule() loop needs to bother with siblings.

need_sync is true only in following conditions:
- A cookied task is running on any HT on the core.
- Any HT in the core is force idled.

The above code comment you referred to is now reworked. That was for the case
where we discovered during local selection that we found a task with a
cookie so now we have to do a core-wide scan (need_sync = false before but
now it becomes true and we start over). This optimization is done sligtly
differently now, we run ->pick_task() on every class of the local CPU until
we find something, if we find something with a cookie then we do core-wide
selection.

The latest version of this code is now in Peter's branch:
https://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/peterz/queue.git/tree/kernel/sched/core.c?id=6288c0a49631ce6b53eeab7021a43e49c4c4d436

Maybe ht_protect= then?

Ok, I can try to make it ht_protect=irq,syscall,kvm etc. And conditionally
enable the protection. Does that work for you?

Got it.

Ok sure. I will improve it this way for next posting.

You're right, I could just do sched_core_get() in the caller. I changed it as in
the diff below:

I thought about this already and it does not seem a good fit. When 2
processes share, it is possible that more processes are added to that logical
group. Then the original processes that share die, but if we hold on to the
pid_t or task_struct, that would be awkward. It seemed introducing a new
refcounted struct was the right way to go. I can add these details to the
change log.

thanks!

I pulled this bit from your original patch. Are you concerned about the
stop_machine? Sharing a core is a slow path for our usecases (and as far as I
know, for everyone else's). We can probably do something different if that
requirement changes.

Yeah, Josh is better than me at naming so he changed it to
sched_core_update_cookie() already :-). Hopefully that's Ok too with you.

This is fixed in a later patch by Josh "sched: Refactor core cookie into
struct" where we are having independent fields for each type of cookie.

I'll squash it next time I post to prevent confusion. Thanks,

Yeah.. so I can (and was planning on) remove stop_machine() from
sched_core_{dis,en}able() before merging it.

(there's two options, one uses stop_cpus() with the SMT mask, the other
RCU)

This though is exposing stop_machine() to joe user. Everybody is allowed
to prctl() it's own task and set a cookie on himself. This means you
just made giant unpriv DoS vector.

stop_machine is bad, really bad.

So I don't think that later patch is right... That is, it works, but
afaict it's massive overkill.

	COOKIE_CMP_RETURN(task_cookie);
	COOKIE_CMP_RETURN(group_cookie);
	COOKIE_CMP_RETURN(color);

So if task_cookie matches, we consider group_cookie, if that matches we
consider color.

Now, afaict that's semantically exactly the same as just using the
narrowest cookie. That is, use the task cookie if there is, and then,
walking the cgroup hierarchy (up) pick the first cgroup cookie.

(I don't understand the color thing, but lets have that discussion in
that subthread)

Which means you only need a single active cookie field.

IOW, you're just making things complicated and expensive.

True. I think me and you discussed eons ago though that it needs to
privileged.  For our case, actually we use seccomp so we don't let
untrusted task set a cookie anyway, let alone reset it. We do it before we
enter the seccomp sandbox. So we don't really need this security check here.

Since you dislike this part of the patch, I am Ok with just dropping it as

There's 2 parts that Google's usecase has. The first part is set by a
privileged process, and the second part (color) is set within the container.
Maybe we can just put the "color" feature behind a CONFIG option for Google
to enable?

Ok, the idea was to use stop_machine() as in your initial patch. It works
quite well in testing. However I agree with its horrible we ought to do
better (or at least try).

Maybe we can do a synchronize_rcu() after changing cookie, to ensure we are
no longer using the old cookie value in the scheduler.

Yes.

The motivation is to allow an unprivileged user the ability to
configure the trust hierarchy in a way that otherwise wouldn't be
possible for a given cgroup hierarchy.  For example given a cookie'd
hierarchy such as:

      A
   /  |  |   \
B  C  D  E

the user might only want subsets of {B, C, D, E} to share.  For
instance, the user might only want {B,C} and {D, E} to share.  One way
to solve this would be to allow the user to write the group cookie
directly.  However, this interface would need to be restricted to
privileged users, since otherwise the cookie could be configured to
share with any arbitrary cgroup.  The purpose of the 'color' field is
to expose a portion of the cookie that can be modified by a
non-privileged user in order to achieve this sharing goal.

If this doesn't seem like a useful case, I'm happy to drop this patch
from the series to unblock it.

Yes, agree on stop_machine(); we'll pull that out of the underlying
interface patch.

Josh

For the per-task interface, I believe we still want to prevent two
tasks that share a task cookie from sharing an overall cookie if they
are in two separately tagged groups (Joel please correct me if I'm
mistaken there). That's why in Joel's older patch, the overall cookie
was a combination of the task and group cookies.  My concern about
that was the potential cookie collision.

I followed up on the 'color' portion in the other thread.

Thanks,
Josh

Then disallow sharing a task cookie when the tasks are in different
cgroups or disallow cgroup movement when they share a cookie.

Well, the traditional cgroup way of doing that would be to:

         A
	/ \
       T1 T2
      / \
     B   C

And tag T1 if you want B,C to share.

So me the color thing reads like an end-run around the cgroup hierarchy.

Subject: [PATCH] sched: migration changes for core scheduling

 - Don't migrate if there is a cookie mismatch
     Load balance tries to move task from busiest CPU to the
     destination CPU. When core scheduling is enabled, if the
     task's cookie does not match with the destination CPU's
     core cookie, this task will be skipped by this CPU. This
     mitigates the forced idle time on the destination CPU.

 - Select cookie matched idle CPU
     In the fast path of task wakeup, select the first cookie matched
     idle CPU instead of the first idle CPU.

 - Find cookie matched idlest CPU
     In the slow path of task wakeup, find the idlest CPU whose core
     cookie matches with task's cookie

 - Don't migrate task if cookie not match
     For the NUMA load balance, don't migrate task to the CPU whose
     core cookie does not match with task's cookie

Inline is a patch for comment to extend this interface to make it more useful.
This patch would still need to provide doc and selftests updates as well.

Subject: [PATCH] sched: Provide a more extensive prctl interface for core
 scheduling.

The current prctl interface is a "from" only interface allowing a task to
join an existing core scheduling group by getting the "cookie" from a
specified task/pid.

Additionally, sharing from a task without an existing core scheduling group
(cookie == 0) creates a new cookie shared between the two.

"From" functionality works well for programs modified to use the prctl(),
but many applications will not be modified simply for core scheduling.
Using a wrapper program to share the core scheduling cookie from another
task followed by an "exec" can work, but there is no means to assign a
cookie for an unmodified running task.

Simply inverting the interface to a "to"-only interface, i.e. the calling
task shares it's cookie with the specified task/pid also has limitations,
there being no means to enable tasks to join an existing core scheduling
group for instance.

The solution is to allow both, or more specifically provide a flags
argument to allow various core scheduling commands, currently FROM, TO, and
CLEAR.

The combination of FROM and TO allow a helper program to share the core
scheduling cookie of one task/core scheduling group, with additional tasks.

if (prctl(PR_SCHED_CORE_SHARE, PR_SCHED_CORE_SHARE_FROM, src_pid, 0, 0) < 0)
	handle_error("src_pid sched_core failed");
if (prctl(PR_SCHED_CORE_SHARE, PR_SCHED_CORE_SHARE_TO, dest_pid, 0, 0) < 0)
	handle_error("dest_pid sched_core failed");

I should have put in an else clause to catch bad input.

Sorry, this version needs more work, refined as below, and I realized
I should place a version number to the patch, start from v2 now.

Subject: [PATCH v2] sched: migration changes for core scheduling

 - Don't migrate if there is a cookie mismatch
     Load balance tries to move task from busiest CPU to the
     destination CPU. When core scheduling is enabled, if the
     task's cookie does not match with the destination CPU's
     core cookie, this task will be skipped by this CPU. This
     mitigates the forced idle time on the destination CPU.

 - Select cookie matched idle CPU
     In the fast path of task wakeup, select the first cookie matched
     idle CPU instead of the first idle CPU.

 - Find cookie matched idlest CPU
     In the slow path of task wakeup, find the idlest CPU whose core
     cookie matches with task's cookie

 - Don't migrate task if cookie not match
     For the NUMA load balance, don't migrate task to the CPU whose
     core cookie does not match with task's cookie

Yes, we could restrict task cookie sharing to tasks that are in the
same cgroup. Then the cookie easily just becomes a single value;
either the task cookie or group cookie.

The advantage of the approach with the cookie struct is that it is
easily extensible, and allows for trust models that don't conform
exactly to the cgroup hierarchy (ie. our discussion on cookie color).
The overhead of the approach seems tolerable, given that updates to a
task's cookie are not in fast paths (ie. prctl, setting cgroup cookie,
sched_move_task).  Are you more concerned with the added complexity of
maintaining the RB tree, refcounts, etc?

Restructuring the cgroup resource hierarchy to incorporate the trust
domains is not necessarily trivial (as is the case for us).  I agree
though that that would be the ideal correct solution from the cgroup
hierarchy perspective.

Yeah, it sure isn't. We (FB) had to go through a couple iterations and it's
looking like we need another adjustment, so I fully agree that these are
painful but at the same time I don't think it's difficult to see that how
piling up workarounds in the lowest layer is not the right thing to do. The
workarounds you guys need would be different from what we or others would
need. The kernel can't be maintained in any sustainable manner if we keep
piling on disjoint workarounds on it. Please consider long term trajectory
when proposing interface changes which often boils down to identifying the
core features which must be supported by the interface.

Thanks.

Looks ok to me except the missing else { } clause you found. Also, maybe
dest/src can be renamed to from/to to make meaning of variables more clear?

Also looking forward to the docs/test updates.

Yes, the cookie is a compound one. A cookie structure is created here which
has all 3 components. The final cookie value is a pointer to this compound
structure.

Its not the same. The "compounded" cookie is needed to enforce the CGroup
delegation model. This is exactly how both uclamp and cpusets work. For
uclamp, if we take uclamp.min as an example, if the CGroup sets the
uclamp.min of a group to 0, then even if you use the per-task interface
(sched_setattr) for setting the task's clamp - the "effective uclamp.min" of
the task as seen in /proc/pid/sched will still be 0.

Similar thing here, if 2 tasks belong to 2 different CGroups and each group is
tagged with its own tag, then if you use the per-task interface to make the 2
tasks share a core, the "effective" sharing is still such that the tasks will
not share a core -- because the CGroup decided to make it so.

I would like to really maintain this model. Doing it any other way is
confusing - we have already discussed doing it this way before. With that way
you end up failing one interface if another one was already used.  Been
there, done that. It sucks a lot.

> IOW, you're just making things complicated and expensive.

The cost of the additional comparisons you mentioned is only in the slow path
(i.e. when someone joins or leaves a group). Once the task_struct's cookie
field is set, the cost is not any more than what it was before.

Any other thoughts?

thanks,

 - Joel

Ok. What about changing the cookie of task T while holding the rq/pi locks, and
then doing a resched_curr(rq) for that RQ?

The holding lock ensures no migration of task happens, and resched_curr()
ensure that task T's rq will enter the scheduler to consider the task T's new
cookie for scheduling. I believe this is analogous to what
__sched_setscheduler() does when you switch a task from CFS to RT.

I fixed the else clause, made the name changes, added the documentation and
fixed the selftests so they pass. Patch inline.

Subject: [PATCH] sched: Provide a more extensive prctl interface for core
 scheduling.

The current prctl interface is a "from" only interface allowing a task to
join an existing core scheduling group by getting the "cookie" from a
specified task/pid.

Additionally, sharing from a task without an existing core scheduling group
(cookie == 0) creates a new cookie shared between the two.

"From" functionality works well for programs modified to use the prctl(),
but many applications will not be modified simply for core scheduling.
Using a wrapper program to share the core scheduling cookie from another
task followed by an "exec" can work, but there is no means to assign a
cookie for an unmodified running task.

Simply inverting the interface to a "to"-only interface, i.e. the calling
task shares it's cookie with the specified task/pid also has limitations,
there being no means to enable tasks to join an existing core scheduling
group for instance.

The solution is to allow both, or more specifically provide a flags
argument to allow various core scheduling commands, currently FROM, TO, and
CLEAR.

The combination of FROM and TO allow a helper program to share the core
scheduling cookie of one task/core scheduling group, with additional tasks.

if (prctl(PR_SCHED_CORE_SHARE, PR_SCHED_CORE_SHARE_FROM, src_pid, 0, 0) < 0)
	handle_error("src_pid sched_core failed");
if (prctl(PR_SCHED_CORE_SHARE, PR_SCHED_CORE_SHARE_TO, dest_pid, 0, 0) < 0)
	handle_error("dest_pid sched_core failed");

-and ``P2`` with PIDs 100 and 200. If process ``P1`` calls
-``prctl(PR_SCHED_CORE_SHARE, 200)``, the kernel makes ``P1`` share a core with ``P2``.
-The kernel performs ptrace access mode checks before granting the request.
+A ``prtcl(2)`` command ``PR_SCHED_CORE_SHARE`` provides an interface for the
+creation of and admission and removal of tasks from core scheduling groups.
 
-.. note:: This operation is not commutative. P1 calling
-          ``prctl(PR_SCHED_CORE_SHARE, pidof(P2)`` is not the same as P2 calling the
-          same for P1. The former case is P1 joining P2's group of processes
-          (which P2 would have joined with ``prctl(2)`` prior to P1's ``prctl(2)``).
+::
 
-.. note:: The core-sharing granted with prctl(2) will be subject to
-          core-sharing restrictions specified by the CGroup interface. For example
-          if P1 and P2 are a part of 2 different tagged CGroups, then they will
-          not share a core even if a prctl(2) call is made. This is analogous
-          to how affinities are set using the cpuset interface.
+    #include <sys/prctl.h>
 
-It is important to note that, on a ``CLONE_THREAD`` ``clone(2)`` syscall, the child
-will be assigned the same tag as its parent and thus be allowed to share a core
-with them. This design choice is because, for the security usecase, a
-``CLONE_THREAD`` child can access its parent's address space anyway, so there's
-no point in not allowing them to share a core. If a different behavior is
-desired, the child thread can call ``prctl(2)`` as needed.  This behavior is
-specific to the ``prctl(2)`` interface. For the CGroup interface, the child of a
-fork always shares a core with its parent.  On the other hand, if a parent
-was previously tagged via ``prctl(2)`` and does a regular ``fork(2)`` syscall, the
-child will receive a unique tag.

+            unsigned long arg4, unsigned long arg5);
+

+    ``PR_SCHED_CORE_SHARE``
+
+arg2:
+    - ``PR_SCHED_CORE_CLEAR            0  -- clear core_sched cookie of pid``
+    - ``PR_SCHED_CORE_SHARE_FROM       1  -- get core_sched cookie from pid``
+    - ``PR_SCHED_CORE_SHARE_TO         2  -- push core_sched cookie to pid``
+
+arg3:
+    ``tid`` of the task for which the operation applies
+
+arg4 and arg5:
+    MUST be equal to 0.
+
+Creation
+~~~~~~~~
+Creation is accomplished by sharing a ''cookie'' from a process not currently in
+a core scheduling group.
+
+::
+
+    if (prctl(PR_SCHED_CORE_SHARE, PR_SCHED_CORE_SHARE_FROM, src_tid, 0, 0) < 0)
+            handle_error("src_tid sched_core failed");
+
+Removal
+~~~~~~~
+Removing a task from a core scheduling group is done by:
+
+::
+
+    if (prctl(PR_SCHED_CORE_SHARE, PR_SCHED_CORE_SHARE_CLEAR, clr_tid, 0, 0) < 0)
+             handle_error("clr_tid sched_core failed");
+
+Cookie Transferal
+~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
+Transferring a cookie between the current and other tasks is possible using
+PR_SCHED_CORE_SHARE_FROM and PR_SCHED_CORE_SHARE_TO to inherit a cookie from a
+specified task or a share a cookie with a task. In combination this allows a
+simple helper program to pull a cookie from a task in an existing core
+scheduling group and share it with already running tasks.
+
+::
+
+    if (prctl(PR_SCHED_CORE_SHARE, PR_SCHED_CORE_SHARE_FROM, from_tid, 0, 0) < 0)
+            handle_error("from_tid sched_core failed");
+
+    if (prctl(PR_SCHED_CORE_SHARE, PR_SCHED_CORE_SHARE_TO, to_tid, 0, 0) < 0)
+            handle_error("to_tid sched_core failed");
+
+
+.. note:: The core-sharing granted with ``prctl(2)`` will be subject to
+          core-sharing restrictions specified by the CGroup interface. For example,
+          if tasks T1 and T2 are a part of 2 different tagged CGroups, then they will
+          not share a core even if ``prctl(2)`` is called. This is analogous to how
+          affinities are set using the cpuset interface.
+
+It is important to note that, on a ``clone(2)`` syscall with ``CLONE_THREAD`` set,
+the child will be assigned the same ''cookie'' as its parent and thus in the
+same core scheduling group.  In the security usecase, a ``CLONE_THREAD`` child
+can access its parent's address space anyway (``CLONE_THREAD`` requires
+``CLONE_SIGHAND`` which requires ``CLONE_VM``), so there's no point in not
+allowing them to share a core. If a different behavior is desired, the child
+thread can call ``prctl(2)`` as needed.  This behavior is specific to the
+``prctl(2)`` interface. For the CGroup interface, the child of a fork always
+shares a core with its parent.  On the other hand, if a parent was previously
+tagged via ``prctl(2)`` and does a regular ``fork(2)`` syscall, the child will
+receive a unique tag.

Hmm, so the final cookie of the task is always p->core_cookie. This is what
the scheduler uses. All other fields are ingredients to derive the final
cookie value.

I will drop this hunk from your overall diff, but let me know if you
disagree!

thanks,

No problem. That was there primarily for debugging.

Ok. I squashed Josh's changes into this patch and several of my fixups. So
there'll be 3 patches:
1. CGroup + prctl  (single patch as it is hell to split it)
2. Documentation
3. ksefltests

Below is the diff of #1. I still have to squash in the stop_machine removal
and some more review changes. But other than that, please take a look and let
me know anything that's odd.  I will test further as well.

Also next series will only be interface as I want to see if I can get lucky
enough to have Peter look at it before he leaves for PTO next week.
For the other features, I will post different series as I prepare them. One
series for interface, and another for kernel protection / migration changes.

My original patch had this:

# define PR_SCHED_CORE_CLEAR            0  /* clear core_sched cookie of pid */
# define PR_SCHED_CORE_SHARE_FROM       1  /* get core_sched cookie from pid */
# define PR_SCHED_CORE_SHARE_TO         2  /* push core_sched cookie to pid */

The space between the '#' and 'define' is the trick apparently used to prevent a script run during 'perf' build that 
pulls options out of this file to generate a 'beauty' array. Without the space, you can't build perf.

Please don't do that. I am not sure we have thought the cgroup interface through
(looking at all the discussions). IMHO, it would be better for us to get a simpler
interface (prctl) right and then once we learn the lessons using it, apply it for
the cgroup interface. I think we all agree we don't want to maintain a messy interface
forever.

Unfortunately, this comment does not provides any information on the
issues you are concerned about.  If there are specific issues you are
concerned about, please don't keep it a secret! What requirement of
yours is not being met with the CGroup interface the way it is in v8

This particular patch is only for debug and is not for merging.

Peter is preparing a tree with some patches already applied, once that's done
we will send a new series with the remaining patches (mostly interface and
docs left).
