Both Linus (most recent) and Steve (a while ago) reported that perf
related callbacks have massive stack bloat.
The problem is that software events need a pt_regs in order to
properly report the event location and unwind stack. And because we
could not assume one was present we allocated one on stack and filled
it with minimal bits required for operation.
Now, pt_regs is quite large, so this is undesirable. Furthermore it
turns out that most sites actually have a pt_regs pointer available,
making this even more onerous, as the stack space is pointless waste.
This patch addresses the problem by observing that software events
have well defined nesting semantics, therefore we can use static
per-cpu storage instead of on-stack.
Linus made the further observation that all but the scheduler callers
of perf_sw_event() have a pt_regs available, so we change the regular
perf_sw_event() to require a valid pt_regs (where it used to be
optional) and add perf_sw_event_sched() for the scheduler.
We have a scheduler specific call instead of a more generic _noregs()
like construct because we can assume non-recursion from the scheduler
and thereby simplify the code further (_noregs would have to put the
recursion context call inline in order to assertain which __perf_regs
element to use).
One last note on the implementation of perf_trace_buf_prepare(); we
allow .regs = NULL for those cases where we already have a pt_regs
pointer available and do not need another.

On x86_64, at least, task_pt_regs may be only partially initialized
in many contexts, so x86_64 should not use it without extra care
from interrupt context, let alone NMI context.
This will allow x86_64 to override the logic and will supply some
scratch space to use to make a cleaner copy of user regs.

- AMD KFD driver merge
This is the AMD HSA interface for exposing a lowlevel interface for
GPGPU use. They have an open source userspace built on top of this
interface, and the code looks as good as it was going to get out of

- Initial atomic modesetting work
The need for an atomic modesetting interface to allow userspace to
try and send a complete set of modesetting state to the driver has
arisen, and been suffering from neglect this past year. No more,
the start of the common code and changes for msm driver to use it
are in this tree. Ongoing work to get the userspace ioctl finished
and the code clean will probably wait until next kernel.

build the mapping data.

The i_mmap_mutex is a close cousin of the anon vma lock, both protecting
similar data, one for file backed pages and the other for anon memory. To
this end, this lock can also be a rwsem. In addition, there are some
important opportunities to share the lock when there are no tree
modifications.
This conversion is straightforward. For now, all users take the write
lock.

We allow PMU driver to change the cpu on which the event
should be installed to. This happened in patch:
e2d37cd213 ("perf: Allow the PMU driver to choose the CPU on which to install events")
This patch also forces all the group members to follow
the currently opened events cpu if the group happened
to be moved.
This and the change of event->cpu in perf_install_in_context()
function introduced in:
0cda4c0231 ("perf: Introduce perf_pmu_migrate_context()")
forces group members to change their event->cpu,
if the currently-opened-event's PMU changed the cpu
and there is a group move.
Above behaviour causes problem for breakpoint events,
which uses event->cpu to touch cpu specific data for
breakpoints accounting. By changing event->cpu, some
breakpoints slots were wrongly accounted for given
cpu.
Vinces's perf fuzzer hit this issue and caused following
WARN on my setup:
WARNING: CPU: 0 PID: 20214 at arch/x86/kernel/hw_breakpoint.c:119 arch_install_hw_breakpoint+0x142/0x150()

original cpu.

x86 call do_notify_resume on paranoid returns if TIF_UPROBE is set but

for the x86 bug. With that bug fixed, we can remove _TIF_NOTIFY_RESUME
from the uprobes code.

When a CPU hotplugged out, we call perf_remove_from_context() (via
perf_event_exit_cpu()) to rip each CPU-bound event out of its PMU's cpu
context, but leave siblings grouped together. Freeing of these events is
left to the mercy of the usual refcounting.
When a CPU-bound event's refcount drops to zero we cross-call to
__perf_remove_from_context() to clean it up, detaching grouped siblings.
This works when the relevant CPU is online, but will fail if the CPU is
currently offline, and we won't detach the event from its siblings
before freeing the event, leaving the sibling list corrupt. If the
sibling list is later walked (e.g. because the CPU cam online again
before a remaining sibling's refcount drops to zero), we will walk the
now corrupted siblings list, potentially dereferencing garbage values.
Given that the events should never be scheduled again (as we removed
them from their context), we can simply detatch siblings when the CPU
goes down in the first place. If the CPU comes back online, the
redundant call to __perf_remove_from_context() is safe.

Pull percpu consistent-ops changes from Tejun Heo:
"Way back, before the current percpu allocator was implemented, static
and dynamic percpu memory areas were allocated and handled separately
and had their own accessors. The distinction has been gone for many
years now; however, the now duplicate two sets of accessors remained
with the pointer based ones - this_cpu_*() - evolving various other
operations over time. During the process, we also accumulated other
inconsistent operations.
This pull request contains Christoph's patches to clean up the
duplicate accessor situation. __get_cpu_var() uses are replaced with
with this_cpu_ptr() and __this_cpu_ptr() with raw_cpu_ptr().
Unfortunately, the former sometimes is tricky thanks to C being a bit
messy with the distinction between lvalues and pointers, which led to
a rather ugly solution for cpumask_var_t involving the introduction of
this_cpu_cpumask_var_ptr().
This converts most of the uses but not all. Christoph will follow up
with the remaining conversions in this merge window and hopefully
remove the obsolete accessors"

Oleg noticed that a cleanup by Sylvain actually uncovered a bug; by
calling perf_event_free_task() when failing sched_fork() we will not yet
have done the memset() on ->perf_event_ctxp[] and will therefore try and
'free' the inherited contexts, which are still in use by the parent
process.
This is bad and might explain some outstanding fuzzer failures ...

We saw a kernel soft lockup in perf_remove_from_context(),
it looks like the `perf` process, when exiting, could not go
out of the retry loop. Meanwhile, the target process was forking
a child. So either the target process should execute the smp
function call to deactive the event (if it was running) or it should
do a context switch which deactives the event.
It seems we optimize out a context switch in perf_event_context_sched_out(),
and what's more important, we still test an obsolete task pointer when
retrying, so no one actually would deactive that event in this situation.
Fix it directly by reloading the task pointer in perf_remove_from_context().
This should cure the above soft lockup.

When running a 32-bit userspace on a 64-bit kernel (eg. i386
application on x86_64 kernel or 32-bit arm userspace on arm64
kernel) some of the perf ioctls must be treated with special
care, as they have a pointer size encoded in the command.
For example, PERF_EVENT_IOC_ID in 32-bit world will be encoded
as 0x80042407, but 64-bit kernel will expect 0x80082407. In
result the ioctl will fail returning -ENOTTY.
This patch solves the problem by adding code fixing up the
size as compat_ioctl file operation.

One should first enqueue to the waitqueue and then check for the
condition. If the condition gets true after mutex_unlock() but before
poll_wait() then we lose it and would have wait for another wakeup.
This has been like this since v2.6.31-rc1 commit c7138f37f9 ("perf_counter:
fix perf_poll()"). Before that it was slightly worse. I guess we get enough
wakeups so if we miss here one it doesn't really matter. It is still a

In cases when the owner task exits before the workload and the
workload made some forks, all the events stay in until the last
workload process exits. Thats' because each child event holds
parent reference.
We want to release all children events once the parent is gone,
because at that time there's no process to read them anyway, so
they're just eating resources.
This removal races with process exit, which removes all events
and fork, which clone events. To be clear of those two, adding
work queue to remove orphaned child for context in case such
event is detected.
Using delayed work queue (with delay == 1), because we queue this
work under perf scheduler callbacks. Normal work queue tries to wake
up the queue process, which deadlocks on rq->lock in this place.
Also preventing clones from abandoned parent event.

These patches rework memcg charge lifetime to integrate more naturally
with the lifetime of user pages. This drastically simplifies the code and
reduces charging and uncharging overhead. The most expensive part of
charging and uncharging is the page_cgroup bit spinlock, which is removed
entirely after this series.
Here are the top-10 profile entries of a stress test that reads a 128G
sparse file on a freshly booted box, without even a dedicated cgroup (i.e.
executing in the root memcg). Before:
15.36% cat [kernel.kallsyms] [k] copy_user_generic_string
13.31% cat [kernel.kallsyms] [k] memset
11.48% cat [kernel.kallsyms] [k] do_mpage_readpage
4.23% cat [kernel.kallsyms] [k] get_page_from_freelist

As you can see, the memcg footprint has shrunk quite a bit.

This patch (of 4):
The memcg charge API charges pages before they are rmapped - i.e. have an
actual "type" - and so every callsite needs its own set of charge and
uncharge functions to know what type is being operated on. Worse,
uncharge has to happen from a context that is still type-specific, rather
than at the end of the page's lifetime with exclusive access, and so
requires a lot of synchronization.
Rewrite the charge API to provide a generic set of try_charge(),
commit_charge() and cancel_charge() transaction operations, much like
what's currently done for swap-in:
mem_cgroup_try_charge() attempts to reserve a charge, reclaiming
pages from the memcg if necessary.
mem_cgroup_commit_charge() commits the page to the charge once it
has a valid page->mapping and PageAnon() reliably tells the type.
mem_cgroup_cancel_charge() aborts the transaction.
This reduces the charge API and enables subsequent patches to
drastically simplify uncharging.
As pages need to be committed after rmap is established but before they
are added to the LRU, page_add_new_anon_rmap() must stop doing LRU
additions again. Revive lru_cache_add_active_or_unevictable().

Vince reported that commit 15a2d4de0e ("perf: Always destroy groups
on exit") causes a regression with grouped events. In particular his
read_group_attached.c test fails.
https://github.com/deater/perf_event_tests/blob/master/tests/bugs/read_group_attached.c
Because of the context switch optimization in
perf_event_context_sched_out() the 'original' event may end up in the
child process and when that exits the change in the patch in question
destroys the actual grouping.
Therefore revert that change and only destroy inherited groups.

The context check in perf_event_context_sched_out allows
non-cloned context to be part of the optimized schedule
out switch.
This could move non-cloned context into another workload
child. Once this child exits, the context is closed and
leaves all original (parent) events in closed state.
Any other new cloned event will have closed state and not
measure anything. And probably causing other odd bugs.

that nobody tries to play with the dead uprobe/consumer. This helps
to catch the bugs like the one fixed by the previous patch.
In the longer term we should fix this poorly designed interface.

perf tools like 'perf report' can aggregate samples by comm strings,
which generally works. However, there are other potential use-cases.
For example, to pair up 'calls' with 'returns' accurately (from branch
events like Intel BTS) it is necessary to identify whether the process
has exec'd. Although a comm event is generated when an 'exec' happens
it is also generated whenever the comm string is changed on a whim
(e.g. by prctl PR_SET_NAME). This patch adds a flag to the comm event
to differentiate one case from the other.
In order to determine whether the kernel supports the new flag, a
selection bit named 'exec' is added to struct perf_event_attr. The
bit does nothing but will cause perf_event_open() to fail if the bit
is set on kernels that do not have it defined.

Pull ARM updates from Russell King:
- Major clean-up of the L2 cache support code. The existing mess was
becoming rather unmaintainable through all the additions that others
have done over time. This turns it into a much nicer structure, and
implements a few performance improvements as well.
- Clean up some of the CP15 control register tweaks for alignment
support, moving some code and data into alignment.c
- DMA properties for ARM, from Santosh and reviewed by DT people. This
adds DT properties to specify bus translations we can't discover
automatically, and to indicate whether devices are coherent.
- Hibernation support for ARM
- Make ftrace work with read-only text in modules
- add suspend support for PJ4B CPUs
- rework interrupt masking for undefined instruction handling, which
allows us to enable interrupts earlier in the handling of these
exceptions.
- support for big endian page tables
- fix stacktrace support to exclude stacktrace functions from the
trace, and add save_stack_trace_regs() implementation so that kprobes
can record stack traces.
- Add support for the Cortex-A17 CPU.
- Remove last vestiges of ARM710 support.

tmpfs is widely used but as Denys reports shmem_aops doesn't have
->readpage() and thus you can't probe a binary on this filesystem.
As Hugh suggested we can use shmem_read_mapping_page() in this case,
just we need to check shmem_mapping() if ->readpage == NULL.

copy_insn() fails with -EIO if ->readpage == NULL, but this error
is not propagated unless uprobe_register() path finds ->mm which
already mmaps this file. In this case (say) "perf record" does not
actually install the probe, but the user can't know about this.
Move this check into uprobe_register() so that this problem can be
detected earlier and reported to user.
Note: this is still not perfect,
- copy_insn() and arch_uprobe_analyze_insn() should be called
by uprobe_register() but this is not simple, we need vm_file
for read_mapping_page() (although perhaps we can pass NULL),
and we need ->mm for is_64bit_mm() (although this logic is
broken anyway).
- uprobe_register() should be called by create_trace_uprobe(),
not by probe_event_enable(), so that an error can be detected
at "perf probe -x" time. This also needs more changes in the
core uprobe code, uprobe register/unregister interface was
poorly designed from the very beginning.

While that mutex should guard the elements, it doesn't guard against the

__perf_event_exit_task() can actually free the event.
And because list addition/deletion is guarded by both ctx->mutex and
ctx->lock, holding ctx->mutex is sufficient for reading the list, so we
don't actually need the rcu list iteration.

After instruction write into xol area, on ARM V7
architecture code need to flush dcache and icache to sync
them up for given set of addresses. Having just
'flush_dcache_page(page)' call is not enough - it is
possible to have stale instruction sitting in icache
for given xol area slot address.
Introduce arch_uprobe_ixol_copy weak function
that by default calls uprobes copy_to_page function and
than flush_dcache_page function and on ARM define new one
that handles xol slot copy in ARM specific way
flush_uprobe_xol_access function shares/reuses implementation
with/of flush_ptrace_access function and takes care of writing
instruction to user land address space on given variety of
different cache types on ARM CPUs. Because
flush_uprobe_xol_access does not have vma around
flush_ptrace_access was split into two parts. First that
retrieves set of condition from vma and common that receives
those conditions as flags.
Note ARM cache flush function need kernel address
through which instruction write happened, so instead
of using uprobes copy_to_page function changed
code to explicitly map page and do memcpy.
Note arch_uprobe_copy_ixol function, in similar way as
copy_to_user_page function, has preempt_disable/preempt_enable.

required. In effect this means that only ioctl(.request =
PERF_EVENT_IOC_SET_OUTPUT) will wait for a grace period, while the
normal initial attach and final detach will not be delayed.
This patch should, I think, do the right thing under all
circumstances, the 'normal' cases all should never see the extra grace
period, but the two cases:
1) PERF_EVENT_IOC_SET_OUTPUT on an event which already has a
ring_buffer set, will now observe the required grace period between
removing itself from the old and attaching itself to the new buffer.
This case is 'simple' in that both buffers are present in
perf_event_set_output() one could think an unconditional
synchronize_rcu() would be sufficient; however...
2) an event that has a buffer attached, the buffer is destroyed
(munmap) and then the event is attached to a new/different buffer
using PERF_EVENT_IOC_SET_OUTPUT.
This case is more complex because the buffer destruction does:
ring_buffer_attach(.rb = NULL)
followed by the ioctl() doing:
ring_buffer_attach(.rb = foo);
and we still need to observe the grace period between these two
calls due to us reusing the event->rb_entry list_head.
In order to make 2 happen we use Paul's latest cond_synchronize_rcu()
call.

The perf cpu offline callback takes down all cpu context
events and releases swhash->swevent_hlist.
This could race with task context software event being just
scheduled on this cpu via perf_swevent_add while cpu hotplug
code already cleaned up event's data.
The race happens in the gap between the cpu notifier code
and the cpu being actually taken down. Note that only cpu
ctx events are terminated in the perf cpu hotplug code.
It's easily reproduced with:
$ perf record -e faults perf bench sched pipe
while putting one of the cpus offline:
# echo 0 > /sys/devices/system/cpu/cpu1/online

If the probed insn triggers a trap, ->si_addr = regs->ip is technically
correct, but this is not what the signal handler wants; we need to pass
the address of the probed insn, not the address of xol slot.
Add the new arch-agnostic helper, uprobe_get_trap_addr(), and change
fill_trap_info() and math_error() to use it. !CONFIG_UPROBES case in
uprobes.h uses a macro to avoid include hell and ensure that it can be
compiled even if an architecture doesn't define instruction_pointer().
Test-case:
#include <signal.h>
#include <stdio.h>
#include <unistd.h>
extern void probe_div(void);
void sigh(int sig, siginfo_t *info, void *c)
{
int passed = (info->si_addr == probe_div);
printf(passed ? "PASS\n" : "FAIL\n");
_exit(!passed);
}
int main(void)
{
struct sigaction sa = {
.sa_sigaction = sigh,
.sa_flags = SA_SIGINFO,
};
sigaction(SIGFPE, &sa, NULL);
asm (
"xor %ecx,%ecx\n"
".globl probe_div; probe_div:\n"
"idiv %ecx\n"
);
return 0;
}
it fails if probe_div() is probed.
Note: show_unhandled_signals users should probably use this helper too,
but we need to cleanup them first.

Hugh says:
The one I noticed was that it forgets all about memcg (because
it was copied from KSM, and there the replacement page has already
been charged to a memcg). See how mm/memory.c do_anonymous_page()
does a mem_cgroup_charge_anon().
Hopefully not a big problem, uprobes is a system-wide thing and only
root can insert the probes. But I agree, should be fixed anyway.
Add mem_cgroup_{un,}charge_anon() into uprobe_write_opcode(). To simplify
the error handling (and avoid the new "uncharge" label) the patch also
moves anon_vma_prepare() up before we alloc/charge the new page.

Unlike the more usual refcnting, what css_tryget() provides is the
distinction between online and offline csses instead of protection
against upping a refcnt which already reached zero. cgroup is
planning to provide actual tryget which fails if the refcnt already
reached zero. Let's rename the existing trygets so that they clearly
indicate that they're onliness.
I thought about keeping the existing names as-are and introducing new
names for the planned actual tryget; however, given that each
controller participates in the synchronization of the online state, it
seems worthwhile to make it explicit that these functions are about
on/offline state.
Rename css_tryget() to css_tryget_online() and css_tryget_from_dir()
to css_tryget_online_from_dir(). This is pure rename.
v2: cgroup_freezer grew new usages of css_tryget(). Update

Commit 38b435b16c ("perf: Fix tear-down of inherited group events")
states that we need to destroy groups for inherited events, but it
doesn't make any sense to not also destroy groups for normal events.
And while it usually makes no difference (the normal events won't
leak, and its very likely all the group events will die in quick
succession) it does make the code more consistent and closes a
potential hole for trouble.

When removing a (sibling) event we do:
raw_spin_lock_irq(&ctx->lock);
perf_group_detach(event);
raw_spin_unlock_irq(&ctx->lock);
<hole>
perf_remove_from_context(event);
raw_spin_lock_irq(&ctx->lock);
...
raw_spin_unlock_irq(&ctx->lock);
Now, assuming the event is a sibling, it will be 'unreachable' for
things like ctx_sched_out() because that iterates the
groups->siblings, and we just unhooked the sibling.
So, if during <hole> we get ctx_sched_out(), it will miss the event
and not call event_sched_out() on it, leaving it programmed on the
PMU.
The subsequent perf_remove_from_context() call will find the ctx is
inactive and only call list_del_event() to remove the event from all
other lists.
Hereafter we can proceed to free the event; while still programmed!
Close this hole by moving perf_group_detach() inside the same
ctx->lock region(s) perf_remove_from_context() has.
The condition on inherited events only in __perf_event_exit_task() is
likely complete crap because non-inherited events are part of groups
too and we're tearing down just the same. But leave that for another
patch.

valid_vma() rejects the VM_SHARED vmas, but this still allows to insert
a probe into the MAP_SHARED but not VM_MAYWRITE vma.
Currently this is fine, such a mapping doesn't really differ from the
private read-only mmap except mprotect(PROT_WRITE) won't work. However,
get_user_pages(FOLL_WRITE | FOLL_FORCE) doesn't allow to COW in this
case, and it would be safer to follow the same conventions as mm even
if currently this happens to work.
After the recent cda540ace6 "mm: get_user_pages(write,force) refuse

Currently the error from arch_uprobe_post_xol() is silently ignored.
This doesn't look good and this can lead to the hard-to-debug problems.
1. Change handle_singlestep() to loudly complain and send SIGILL.
Note: this only affects x86, ppc/arm can't fail.
2. Change arch_uprobe_post_xol() to call arch_uprobe_abort_xol() and
avoid TF games if it is going to return an error.
This can help to to analyze the problem, if nothing else we should
not report ->ip = xol_slot in the core-file.
Note: this means that handle_riprel_post_xol() can be called twice,

UPROBE_COPY_INSN, UPROBE_SKIP_SSTEP, and uprobe->flags must die. This
patch kills UPROBE_SKIP_SSTEP. I never understood why it was added;
not only it doesn't help, it harms.
It can only help to avoid arch_uprobe_skip_sstep() if it was already
called before and failed. But this is ugly, if we want to know whether
we can emulate this instruction or not we should do this analysis in
arch_uprobe_analyze_insn(), not when we hit this probe for the first
time.
And in fact this logic is simply wrong. arch_uprobe_skip_sstep() can
fail or not depending on the task/register state, if this insn can be
emulated but, say, put_user() fails we need to xol it this time, but
this doesn't mean we shouldn't try to emulate it when this or another
thread hits this bp next time.
And this is the actual reason for this change. We need to emulate the
"call" insn, but push(return-address) can obviously fail.
Per-arch notes:
x86: __skip_sstep() can only emulate "rep;nop". With this
change it will be called every time and most probably
for no reason.
This will be fixed by the next changes. We need to
change this suboptimal code anyway.
arm: Should not be affected. It has its own "bool simulate"
flag checked in arch_uprobe_skip_sstep().
ppc: Looks like, it can emulate almost everything. Does it
actually need to record the fact that emulate_step()
failed? Hopefully not. But if yes, it can add the ppc-
specific flag into arch_uprobe.

This patch series adds basic uprobes support to ARM. It is based on

hooks into the kprobes instruction parsing code was not well received.
This approach separates the ARM instruction parsing code in kprobes out

uprobes. Both kprobes and uprobes then provide their own semantic action
tables to process the results of the parsing.

Pull cgroup updates from Tejun Heo:
"A lot updates for cgroup:
- The biggest one is cgroup's conversion to kernfs. cgroup took
after the long abandoned vfs-entangled sysfs implementation and
made it even more convoluted over time. cgroup's internal objects
were fused with vfs objects which also brought in vfs locking and
object lifetime rules. Naturally, there are places where vfs rules
don't fit and nasty hacks, such as credential switching or lock
dance interleaving inode mutex and cgroup_mutex with object serial
number comparison thrown in to decide whether the operation is
actually necessary, needed to be employed.
After conversion to kernfs, internal object lifetime and locking
rules are mostly isolated from vfs interactions allowing shedding
of several nasty hacks and overall simplification. This will also
allow implmentation of operations which may affect multiple cgroups
which weren't possible before as it would have required nesting
i_mutexes.
- Various simplifications including dropping of module support,
easier cgroup name/path handling, simplified cgroup file type
handling and task_cg_lists optimization.
- Prepatory changes for the planned unified hierarchy, which is still
a patchset away from being actually operational. The dummy
hierarchy is updated to serve as the default unified hierarchy.
Controllers which aren't claimed by other hierarchies are
associated with it, which BTW was what the dummy hierarchy was for
anyway.

When a group leader is a software event but the group contains

Currently perf_branch_stack_sched_in iterates over the set of pmus,
checks that each pmu has a flush_branch_stack callback, then overwrites
the pmu before calling the callback. This is either redundant or broken.
In systems with a single hw pmu, pmu == cpuctx->ctx.pmu, and thus the
assignment is redundant.
In systems with multiple hw pmus (i.e. multiple pmus with task_ctx_nr ==
perf_hw_context) the pmus share the same perf_cpu_context. Thus the
assignment can cause one of the pmus to flush its branch stack
repeatedly rather than causing each of the pmus to flush their branch
stacks. Worse still, if only some pmus have the callback the assignment
can result in a branch to NULL.
This patch removes the redundant assignment.

For some reason find_pmu_context() is defined as returning void * rather
than a __percpu struct perf_cpu_context *. As all the requisite types are
defined in advance there's no reason to keep it that way.
This patch modifies the prototype of pmu_find_context to return a
__percpu struct perf_cpu_context *.

Drew Richardson reported that he could make the kernel go *boom* when hotplugging
while having perf events active.
It turned out that when you have a group event, the code in
__perf_event_exit_context() fails to remove the group siblings from
the context.
We then proceed with destroying and freeing the event, and when you
re-plug the CPU and try and add another event to that CPU, things go
*boom* because you've still got dead entries there.

It will start spewing to early_printk() (which is a lot nicer to use
from NMI context too) when it fails to queue the IRQ-work because its
already enqueued.
It does have the false-positive for when two CPUs trigger the warn
concurrently, but that should be rare and some extra clutter on the
early printk shouldn't be a problem.

If !NULL, @skip_css makes cgroup_taskset_for_each() skip the matching
css. The intention of the interface is to make it easy to skip css's
(cgroup_subsys_states) which already match the migration target;
however, this is entirely unnecessary as migration taskset doesn't
include tasks which are already in the target cgroup. Drop @skip_css
from cgroup_taskset_for_each().
