Use try_cmpxchg instead of cmpxchg (*ptr, old, new) != old in
set_nr_{and_not,if}_polling. x86 cmpxchg returns success in ZF flag,
so this change saves a compare after cmpxchg.
The definition of cmpxchg based fetch_or was changed in the
same way as atomic_fetch_##op definitions were changed
in e6790e4b5d.
Also declare these two functions as inline to ensure inlining. In the
case of set_nr_and_not_polling, the compiler (gcc) tries to outsmart
itself by constructing the boolean return value with logic operations
on the fetched value, and these extra operations enlarge the function
over the inlining threshold value.

Context tracking is going to be used not only to track user transitions
but also idle/IRQs/NMIs. The user tracking part will then become a
separate feature. Prepare Kconfig for that.

Decouple the name of the per-cpu cpumask select_idle_mask from its usage
in select_idle_[cpu/capacity]() of the CFS run-queue selection
(select_task_rq_fair()).
This is to support the reuse of this cpumask in the Energy Aware

effective_cpu_util() already has a `int cpu' parameter which allows to
retrieve the CPU capacity scale factor (or maximum CPU capacity) inside
this function via an arch_scale_cpu_capacity(cpu).
A lot of code calling effective_cpu_util() (or the shim
sched_cpu_util()) needs the maximum CPU capacity, i.e. it will call
arch_scale_cpu_capacity() already.
But not having to pass it into effective_cpu_util() will make the EAS
wake-up code easier, especially when the maximum CPU capacity reduced
by the thermal pressure is passed through the EAS wake-up functions.
Due to the asymmetric CPU capacity support of arm/arm64 architectures,
arch_scale_cpu_capacity(int cpu) is a per-CPU variable read access via
per_cpu(cpu_scale, cpu) on such a system.
On all other architectures it is a a compile-time constant
(SCHED_CAPACITY_SCALE).

sched_setattr(2) issues via kernel/sched/core.c:__sched_setscheduler()
a CAP_SYS_NICE audit event unconditionally, even when the requested
operation does not require that capability / is unprivileged, i.e. for
reducing niceness.
This is relevant in connection with SELinux, where a capability check
results in a policy decision and by default a denial message on
insufficient permission is issued.
It can lead to three undesired cases:
1. A denial message is generated, even in case the operation was an
unprivileged one and thus the syscall succeeded, creating noise.
2. To avoid the noise from 1. the policy writer adds a rule to ignore
those denial messages, hiding future syscalls, where the task
performs an actual privileged operation, leading to hidden limited
functionality of that task.
3. To avoid the noise from 1. the policy writer adds a rule to allow
the task the capability CAP_SYS_NICE, while it does not need it,
violating the principle of least privilege.
Conduct privilged/unprivileged categorization first and perform a
capable test (and at most once) only if needed.

Currently, the RCU Tasks Trace grace-period kthread IPIs each online CPU
using smp_call_function_single() in order to track any tasks currently in
RCU Tasks Trace read-side critical sections during which the corresponding
task has neither blocked nor been preempted. These IPIs are annoying
and are also not strictly necessary because any task that blocks or is
preempted within its current RCU Tasks Trace read-side critical section
will be tracked on one of the per-CPU rcu_tasks_percpu structure's
->rtp_blkd_tasks list. So the only time that this is a problem is if
one of the CPUs runs through a long-duration RCU Tasks Trace read-side
critical section without a context switch.
Note that the task_call_func() function cannot help here because there is
no safe way to identify the target task. Of course, the task_call_func()
function will be very useful later, when processing the list of tasks,
but it needs to know the task.
This commit therefore creates a cpu_curr_snapshot() function that returns
a pointer the task_struct structure of some task that happened to be
running on the specified CPU more or less during the time that the
cpu_curr_snapshot() function was executing. If there was no context
switch during this time, this function will return a pointer to the
task_struct structure of the task that was running throughout. If there
was a context switch, then the outgoing task will be taken care of by
RCU's context-switch hook, and the incoming task was either already taken
care during some previous context switch, or it is not currently within an
RCU Tasks Trace read-side critical section. And in this latter case, the
grace period already started, so there is no need to wait on this task.
This new cpu_curr_snapshot() function is invoked on each CPU early in
the RCU Tasks Trace grace-period processing, and the resulting tasks
are queued for later quiescent-state inspection.

Wakelist can help avoid cache bouncing and offload the overhead of waker
cpu. So far, using wakelist within the same llc only happens on
WF_ON_CPU, and this limitation could be removed to further improve
wakeup performance.
The commit 518cd62341 ("sched: Only queue remote wakeups when
crossing cache boundaries") disabled queuing tasks on wakelist when
the cpus share llc. This is because, at that time, the scheduler must
send IPIs to do ttwu_queue_wakelist. Nowadays, ttwu_queue_wakelist also
supports TIF_POLLING, so this is not a problem now when the wakee cpu is
in idle polling.
Benefits:
Queuing the task on idle cpu can help improving performance on waker cpu
and utilization on wakee cpu, and further improve locality because
the wakee cpu can handle its own rq. This patch helps improving rt on
our real java workloads where wakeup happens frequently.
Consider the normal condition (CPU0 and CPU1 share same llc)
Before this patch:
CPU0 CPU1
select_task_rq() idle
rq_lock(CPU1->rq)
enqueue_task(CPU1->rq)
notify CPU1 (by sending IPI or CPU1 polling)
resched()
After this patch:
CPU0 CPU1
select_task_rq() idle
add to wakelist of CPU1
notify CPU1 (by sending IPI or CPU1 polling)
rq_lock(CPU1->rq)
enqueue_task(CPU1->rq)
resched()
We see CPU0 can finish its work earlier. It only needs to put task to
wakelist and return.
While CPU1 is idle, so let itself handle its own runqueue data.
This patch brings no difference about IPI.
This patch only takes effect when the wakee cpu is:
1) idle polling
2) idle not polling
For 1), there will be no IPI with or without this patch.
For 2), there will always be an IPI before or after this patch.
Before this patch: waker cpu will enqueue task and check preempt. Since
"idle" will be sure to be preempted, waker cpu must send a resched IPI.
After this patch: waker cpu will put the task to the wakelist of wakee
cpu, and send an IPI.

The commit 2ebb177175 ("sched/core: Offload wakee task activation if it
the wakee is descheduling") checked rq->nr_running <= 1 to avoid task
stacking when WF_ON_CPU.
Per the ordering of writes to p->on_rq and p->on_cpu, observing p->on_cpu
(WF_ON_CPU) in ttwu_queue_cond() implies !p->on_rq, IOW p has gone through
the deactivate_task() in __schedule(), thus p has been accounted out of
rq->nr_running. As such, the task being the only runnable task on the rq
implies reading rq->nr_running == 0 at that point.
The benchmark result is in [1].

The purpose of balance_push() is to act as a filter on task selection
in the case of CPU hotplug, specifically when taking the CPU out.
It does this by (ab)using the balance callback infrastructure, with
the express purpose of keeping all the unlikely/odd cases in a single
place.
In order to serve its purpose, the balance_push_callback needs to be
(exclusively) on the callback list at all times (noting that the
callback always places itself back on the list the moment it runs,
also noting that when the CPU goes down, regular balancing concerns
are moot, so ignoring them is fine).
And here-in lies the problem, __sched_setscheduler()'s use of
splice_balance_callbacks() takes the callbacks off the list across a
lock-break, making it possible for, an interleaving, __schedule() to
see an empty list and not get filtered.

of Peter Zijlstra was encountering with ptrace in his freezer rewrite
I identified some cleanups to ptrace_stop that make sense on their own
and move make resolving the other problems much simpler.
The biggest issue is the habbit of the ptrace code to change task->__state
from the tracer to suppress TASK_WAKEKILL from waking up the tracee. No
other code in the kernel does that and it is straight forward to update
signal_wake_up and friends to make that unnecessary.
Peter's task freezer sets frozen tasks to a new state TASK_FROZEN and
then it stores them by calling "wake_up_state(t, TASK_FROZEN)" relying
on the fact that all stopped states except the special stop states can
tolerate spurious wake up and recover their state.
The state of stopped and traced tasked is changed to be stored in
task->jobctl as well as in task->__state. This makes it possible for
the freezer to recover tasks in these special states, as well as
serving as a general cleanup. With a little more work in that
direction I believe TASK_STOPPED can learn to tolerate spurious wake
ups and become an ordinary stop state.
The TASK_TRACED state has to remain a special state as the registers for
a process are only reliably available when the process is stopped in
the scheduler. Fundamentally ptrace needs acess to the saved
register values of a task.
There are bunch of semi-random ptrace related cleanups that were found
while looking at these issues.
One cleanup that deserves to be called out is from commit 57b6de08b5
("ptrace: Admit ptrace_stop can generate spuriuos SIGTRAPs"). This
makes a change that is technically user space visible, in the handling
of what happens to a tracee when a tracer dies unexpectedly.
According to our testing and our understanding of userspace nothing
cares that spurious SIGTRAPs can be generated in that case.

For two kernel releases now kernel/sysctl.c has been being cleaned up
slowly, since the tables were grossly long, sprinkled with tons of #ifdefs and
all this caused merge conflicts with one susbystem or another.
This tree was put together to help try to avoid conflicts with these cleanups
going on different trees at time. So nothing exciting on this pull request,
just cleanups.
I actually had this sysctl-next tree up since v5.18 but I missed sending a
pull request for it on time during the last merge window. And so these changes
have been being soaking up on sysctl-next and so linux-next for a while.
The last change was merged May 4th.
Most of the compile issues were reported by 0day and fixed.
To help avoid a conflict with bpf folks at Daniel Borkmann's request
I merged bpf-next/pr/bpf-sysctl into sysctl-next to get the effor which
moves the BPF sysctls from kernel/sysctl.c to BPF core.

Commit fa2c3254d7 (sched/tracing: Don't re-read p->state when emitting
sched_switch event, 2022-01-20) added a new prev_state argument to the
sched_switch tracepoint, before the prev task_struct pointer.
This reordering of arguments broke BPF programs that use the raw
tracepoint (e.g. tp_btf programs). The type of the second argument has
changed and existing programs that assume a task_struct* argument
(e.g. for bpf_task_storage access) will now fail to verify.
If we instead append the new argument to the end, all existing programs
would continue to work and can conditionally extract the prev_state
argument on supported kernel versions.

Stop playing with tsk->__state to remove TASK_WAKEKILL while a ptrace
command is executing.
Instead remove TASK_WAKEKILL from the definition of TASK_TRACED, and
implement a new jobctl flag TASK_PTRACE_FROZEN. This new flag is set
in jobctl_freeze_task and cleared when ptrace_stop is awoken or in
jobctl_unfreeze_task (when ptrace_stop remains asleep).
In signal_wake_up add __TASK_TRACED to state along with TASK_WAKEKILL
when the wake up is for a fatal signal. Skip adding __TASK_TRACED
when TASK_PTRACE_FROZEN is not set. This has the same effect as
changing TASK_TRACED to __TASK_TRACED as all of the wake_ups that use
TASK_KILLABLE go through signal_wake_up.
Handle a ptrace_stop being called with a pending fatal signal.
Previously it would have been handled by schedule simply failing to
sleep. As TASK_WAKEKILL is no longer part of TASK_TRACED schedule
will sleep with a fatal_signal_pending. The code in signal_wake_up
guarantees that the code will be awaked by any fatal signal that
codes after TASK_TRACED is set.
Previously the __state value of __TASK_TRACED was changed to
TASK_RUNNING when woken up or back to TASK_TRACED when the code was
left in ptrace_stop. Now when woken up ptrace_stop now clears
JOBCTL_PTRACE_FROZEN and when left sleeping ptrace_unfreezed_traced
clears JOBCTL_PTRACE_FROZEN.

When we use raw_spin_rq_lock() to acquire the rq lock and have to
update the rq clock while holding the lock, the kernel may issue
a WARN_DOUBLE_CLOCK warning.
Since we directly use raw_spin_rq_lock() to acquire rq lock instead of
rq_lock(), there is no corresponding change to rq->clock_update_flags.
In particular, we have obtained the rq lock of other CPUs, the
rq->clock_update_flags of this CPU may be RQCF_UPDATED at this time, and
then calling update_rq_clock() will trigger the WARN_DOUBLE_CLOCK warning.
So we need to clear RQCF_UPDATED of rq->clock_update_flags to avoid
the WARN_DOUBLE_CLOCK warning.
For the sched_rt_period_timer() and migrate_task_rq_dl() cases
we simply replace raw_spin_rq_lock()/raw_spin_rq_unlock() with
rq_lock()/rq_unlock().
For the {pull,push}_{rt,dl}_task() cases, we add the
double_rq_clock_clear_update() function to clear RQCF_UPDATED of
rq->clock_update_flags, and call double_rq_clock_clear_update()
before double_lock_balance()/double_rq_lock() returns to avoid the
WARN_DOUBLE_CLOCK warning.

Steve reported that ChromeOS encounters the forceidle balancer being
ran from rt_mutex_setprio()'s balance_callback() invocation and
explodes.
Now, the forceidle balancer gets queued every time the idle task gets
selected, set_next_task(), which is strictly too often.
rt_mutex_setprio() also uses set_next_task() in the 'change' pattern:
queued = task_on_rq_queued(p); /* p->on_rq == TASK_ON_RQ_QUEUED */
running = task_current(rq, p); /* rq->curr == p */
if (queued)
dequeue_task(...);
if (running)
put_prev_task(...);
/* change task properties */
if (queued)
enqueue_task(...);
if (running)
set_next_task(...);
However, rt_mutex_setprio() will explicitly not run this pattern on
the idle task (since priority boosting the idle task is quite insane).
Most other 'change' pattern users are pidhash based and would also not
apply to idle.
Also, the change pattern doesn't contain a __balance_callback()
invocation and hence we could have an out-of-band balance-callback,
which *should* trigger the WARN in rq_pin_lock() (which guards against
this exact anti-pattern).
So while none of that explains how this happens, it does indicate that
having it in set_next_task() might not be the most robust option.
Instead, explicitly queue the forceidle balancer from pick_next_task()
when it does indeed result in forceidle selection. Having it here,
ensures it can only be triggered under the __schedule() rq->lock
instance, and hence must be ran from that context.
This also happens to clean up the code a little, so win-win.

With the advent of various new memory types, some machines will have
multiple types of memory, e.g. DRAM and PMEM (persistent memory). The
memory subsystem of these machines can be called memory tiering system,
because the performance of the different types of memory are usually
different.
In such system, because of the memory accessing pattern changing etc,
some pages in the slow memory may become hot globally. So in this
patch, the NUMA balancing mechanism is enhanced to optimize the page
placement among the different memory types according to hot/cold
dynamically.
In a typical memory tiering system, there are CPUs, fast memory and slow
memory in each physical NUMA node. The CPUs and the fast memory will be
put in one logical node (called fast memory node), while the slow memory
will be put in another (faked) logical node (called slow memory node).
That is, the fast memory is regarded as local while the slow memory is
regarded as remote. So it's possible for the recently accessed pages in
the slow memory node to be promoted to the fast memory node via the
existing NUMA balancing mechanism.
The original NUMA balancing mechanism will stop to migrate pages if the
free memory of the target node becomes below the high watermark. This
is a reasonable policy if there's only one memory type. But this makes
the original NUMA balancing mechanism almost do not work to optimize
page placement among different memory types. Details are as follows.
It's the common cases that the working-set size of the workload is
larger than the size of the fast memory nodes. Otherwise, it's
unnecessary to use the slow memory at all. So, there are almost always
no enough free pages in the fast memory nodes, so that the globally hot
pages in the slow memory node cannot be promoted to the fast memory
node. To solve the issue, we have 2 choices as follows,
a. Ignore the free pages watermark checking when promoting hot pages
from the slow memory node to the fast memory node. This will
create some memory pressure in the fast memory node, thus trigger
the memory reclaiming. So that, the cold pages in the fast memory
node will be demoted to the slow memory node.
b. Define a new watermark called wmark_promo which is higher than
wmark_high, and have kswapd reclaiming pages until free pages reach
such watermark. The scenario is as follows: when we want to promote
hot-pages from a slow memory to a fast memory, but fast memory's free
pages would go lower than high watermark with such promotion, we wake
up kswapd with wmark_promo watermark in order to demote cold pages and
free us up some space. So, next time we want to promote hot-pages we
might have a chance of doing so.
The choice "a" may create high memory pressure in the fast memory node.
If the memory pressure of the workload is high, the memory pressure
may become so high that the memory allocation latency of the workload
is influenced, e.g. the direct reclaiming may be triggered.
The choice "b" works much better at this aspect. If the memory
pressure of the workload is high, the hot pages promotion will stop
earlier because its allocation watermark is higher than that of the
normal memory allocation. So in this patch, choice "b" is implemented.
A new zone watermark (WMARK_PROMO) is added. Which is larger than the
high watermark and can be controlled via watermark_scale_factor.
In addition to the original page placement optimization among sockets,
the NUMA balancing mechanism is extended to be used to optimize page
placement according to hot/cold among different memory types. So the
sysctl user space interface (numa_balancing) is extended in a backward
compatible way as follow, so that the users can enable/disable these
functionality individually.
The sysctl is converted from a Boolean value to a bits field. The
definition of the flags is,
- 0: NUMA_BALANCING_DISABLED
- 1: NUMA_BALANCING_NORMAL
- 2: NUMA_BALANCING_MEMORY_TIERING
We have tested the patch with the pmbench memory accessing benchmark
with the 80:20 read/write ratio and the Gauss access address
distribution on a 2 socket Intel server with Optane DC Persistent
Memory Model. The test results shows that the pmbench score can
improve up to 95.9%.

Both functions are doing almost the same, that is checking if admission

With exclusive cpusets, dl_task_can_attach() checks if the destination
cpuset (i.e. its root domain) has enough CPU capacity to accommodate the
task.
dl_cpu_busy() checks if there is enough CPU capacity in the cpuset in
case the CPU is hot-plugged out.
dl_task_can_attach() is used to check if a task can be admitted while
dl_cpu_busy() is used to check if a CPU can be hotplugged out.
Make dl_cpu_busy() able to deal with a task and use it instead of
dl_task_can_attach() in task_can_attach().

TASK_WAKING isn't in TASK_REPORT, so the task appears as TASK_RUNNING in

Where an architecture selects HAVE_STATIC_CALL but not
HAVE_STATIC_CALL_INLINE, each static call has an out-of-line trampoline
which will either branch to a callee or return to the caller.
On such architectures, a number of constraints can conspire to make
those trampolines more complicated and potentially less useful than we'd
like. For example:
* Hardware and software control flow integrity schemes can require the
addition of "landing pad" instructions (e.g. `BTI` for arm64), which
will also be present at the "real" callee.
* Limited branch ranges can require that trampolines generate or load an
address into a register and perform an indirect branch (or at least
have a slow path that does so). This loses some of the benefits of
having a direct branch.
* Interaction with SW CFI schemes can be complicated and fragile, e.g.
requiring that we can recognise idiomatic codegen and remove
indirections understand, at least until clang proves more helpful
mechanisms for dealing with this.
For PREEMPT_DYNAMIC, we don't need the full power of static calls, as we
really only need to enable/disable specific preemption functions. We can
achieve the same effect without a number of the pain points above by
using static keys to fold early returns into the preemption functions
themselves rather than in an out-of-line trampoline, effectively
inlining the trampoline into the start of the function.
For arm64, this results in good code generation. For example, the
dynamic_cond_resched() wrapper looks as follows when enabled. When
disabled, the first `B` is replaced with a `NOP`, resulting in an early
return.
| <dynamic_cond_resched>:
| bti c
| b <dynamic_cond_resched+0x10> // or `nop`
| mov w0, #0x0
| ret
| mrs x0, sp_el0
| ldr x0, [x0, #8]
| cbnz x0, <dynamic_cond_resched+0x8>
| paciasp
| stp x29, x30, [sp, #-16]!
| mov x29, sp
| bl <preempt_schedule_common>
| mov w0, #0x1
| ldp x29, x30, [sp], #16
| autiasp
| ret
... compared to the regular form of the function:
| <__cond_resched>:
| bti c
| mrs x0, sp_el0
| ldr x1, [x0, #8]
| cbz x1, <__cond_resched+0x18>
| mov w0, #0x0
| ret
| paciasp
| stp x29, x30, [sp, #-16]!
| mov x29, sp
| bl <preempt_schedule_common>
| mov w0, #0x1
| ldp x29, x30, [sp], #16
| autiasp
| ret
Any architecture which implements static keys should be able to use this
to implement PREEMPT_DYNAMIC with similar cost to non-inlined static
calls. Since this is likely to have greater overhead than (inlined)
static calls, PREEMPT_DYNAMIC is only defaulted to enabled when
HAVE_PREEMPT_DYNAMIC_CALL is selected.

Now that the enabled/disabled states for the preemption functions are
declared alongside their definitions, the core PREEMPT_DYNAMIC logic is
no longer tied to GENERIC_ENTRY, and can safely be selected so long as
an architecture provides enabled/disabled states for
irqentry_exit_cond_resched().
Make it possible to select HAVE_PREEMPT_DYNAMIC without GENERIC_ENTRY.

Currently sched_dynamic_update needs to open-code the enabled/disabled
function names for each preemption model it supports, when in practice
this is a boolean enabled/disabled state for each function.
Make this clearer and avoid repetition by defining the enabled/disabled
states at the function definition, and using helper macros to perform the
static_call_update(). Where x86 currently overrides the enabled
function, it is made to provide both the enabled and disabled states for
consistency, with defaults provided by the core code otherwise.
In subsequent patches this will allow us to support PREEMPT_DYNAMIC
without static calls.

The PREEMPT_DYNAMIC logic in kernel/sched/core.c patches static calls
for a bunch of preemption functions. While most are defined prior to
this, the definition of cond_resched() is later in the file, and so we
only have its declarations from include/linux/sched.h.
In subsequent patches we'd like to define some macros alongside the
definition of each of the preemption functions, which we can use within
sched_dynamic_update(). For this to be possible, the PREEMPT_DYNAMIC
logic needs to be placed after the various preemption functions.
As a preparatory step, this patch moves the PREEMPT_DYNAMIC logic after
the various preemption functions, with no other changes -- this is
purely a move.
There should be no functional change as a result of this patch.

In this system, there are only 2 sockets. In each memory controller,
both DRAM and PMEM DIMMs are installed. Although the physical NUMA
topology is simple, the logical NUMA topology becomes a little
complex. Because both the distance(0, 1) and distance (1, 3) are less
than the distance (0, 3), it appears that node 1 sits between node 0
and node 3. And the whole system appears to be a glueless mesh NUMA
topology type. But it's definitely not, there is even no CPU in node 3.
This isn't a practical problem now yet. Because the PMEM nodes (node
2 and node 3 in example system) are offlined by default during system
boot. So init_numa_topology_type() called during system boot will
ignore them and set sched_numa_topology_type to NUMA_DIRECT. And
init_numa_topology_type() is only called at runtime when a CPU of a
never-onlined-before node gets plugged in. And there's no CPU in the
PMEM nodes. But it appears better to fix this to make the code more
robust.
To test the potential problem. We have used a debug patch to call
init_numa_topology_type() when the PMEM node is onlined (in
__set_migration_target_nodes()). With that, the NUMA parameters
identified by scheduler is as follows,
sched_numa_topology_type: NUMA_GLUELESS_MESH
sched_domains_numa_levels: 4
sched_max_numa_distance: 28
To fix the issue, the CPU-less nodes are ignored when the NUMA topology
parameters are identified. Because a node may become CPU-less or not
at run time because of CPU hotplug, the NUMA topology parameters need
to be re-initialized at runtime for CPU hotplug too.
With the patch, the NUMA parameters identified for the example system
above is as follows,
sched_numa_topology_type: NUMA_DIRECT
sched_domains_numa_levels: 2
sched_max_numa_distance: 21

In some places, kernel/sched code calls cpumask_weight() to check if
any bit of a given cpumask is set. We can do it more efficiently with
cpumask_empty() because cpumask_empty() stops traversing the cpumask as
soon as it finds first set bit, while cpumask_weight() counts all bits
unconditionally.

Syzbot found a GPF in reweight_entity. This has been bisected to
commit 4ef0c5c6b5 ("kernel/sched: Fix sched_fork() access an invalid
sched_task_group")
There is a race between sched_post_fork() and setpriority(PRIO_PGRP)
within a thread group that causes a null-ptr-deref in
reweight_entity() in CFS. The scenario is that the main process spawns
number of new threads, which then call setpriority(PRIO_PGRP, 0, -20),
wait, and exit. For each of the new threads the copy_process() gets
invoked, which adds the new task_struct and calls sched_post_fork()
for it.
In the above scenario there is a possibility that
setpriority(PRIO_PGRP) and set_one_prio() will be called for a thread
in the group that is just being created by copy_process(), and for
which the sched_post_fork() has not been executed yet. This will
trigger a null pointer dereference in reweight_entity(), as it will
try to access the run queue pointer, which hasn't been set.
Before the mentioned change the cfs_rq pointer for the task has been
set in sched_fork(), which is called much earlier in copy_process(),
before the new task is added to the thread_group. Now it is done in
the sched_post_fork(), which is called after that. To fix the issue
the remove the update_load param from the update_load param() function
and call reweight_task() only if the task flag doesn't have the
TASK_NEW flag set.
Fixes: 4ef0c5c6b5 ("kernel/sched: Fix sched_fork() access an invalid sched_task_group")

Rename blk_flush_plug to __blk_flush_plug and add a wrapper that includes
the NULL check instead of open coding that check everywhere.

blk_needs_flush_plug fails to account for the cb_list, which needs
flushing as well. Remove it and just check if there is a plug instead
of poking into the internals of the plug structure.
