Patch series "mm: process/cgroup ksm support", v9.
So far KSM can only be enabled by calling madvise for memory regions. To
be able to use KSM for more workloads, KSM needs to have the ability to be
enabled / disabled at the process / cgroup level.
Use case 1:
The madvise call is not available in the programming language. An
example for this are programs with forked workloads using a garbage
collected language without pointers. In such a language madvise cannot
be made available.
In addition the addresses of objects get moved around as they are
garbage collected. KSM sharing needs to be enabled "from the outside"
for these type of workloads.
Use case 2:
The same interpreter can also be used for workloads where KSM brings
no benefit or even has overhead. We'd like to be able to enable KSM on
a workload by workload basis.
Use case 3:
With the madvise call sharing opportunities are only enabled for the
current process: it is a workload-local decision. A considerable number
of sharing opportunities may exist across multiple workloads or jobs (if
they are part of the same security domain). Only a higler level entity
like a job scheduler or container can know for certain if its running
one or more instances of a job. That job scheduler however doesn't have
the necessary internal workload knowledge to make targeted madvise
calls.
Security concerns:
In previous discussions security concerns have been brought up. The
problem is that an individual workload does not have the knowledge about
what else is running on a machine. Therefore it has to be very
conservative in what memory areas can be shared or not. However, if the
system is dedicated to running multiple jobs within the same security
domain, its the job scheduler that has the knowledge that sharing can be
safely enabled and is even desirable.
Performance:
Experiments with using UKSM have shown a capacity increase of around 20%.
Here are the metrics from an instagram workload (taken from a machine
with 64GB main memory):
full_scans: 445
general_profit: 20158298048

After the service is running for 30 minutes to an hour, 4 to 5 million
shared pages are common for this workload when using KSM.
Detailed changes:
1. New options for prctl system command
This patch series adds two new options to the prctl system call.
The first one allows to enable KSM at the process level and the second
one to query the setting.
The setting will be inherited by child processes.
With the above setting, KSM can be enabled for the seed process of a cgroup
and all processes in the cgroup will inherit the setting.
2. Changes to KSM processing
When KSM is enabled at the process level, the KSM code will iterate
over all the VMA's and enable KSM for the eligible VMA's.
When forking a process that has KSM enabled, the setting will be
inherited by the new child process.
3. Add general_profit metric
The general_profit metric of KSM is specified in the documentation,
but not calculated. This adds the general profit metric to
/sys/kernel/debug/mm/ksm.
4. Add more metrics to ksm_stat
This adds the process profit metric to /proc/<pid>/ksm_stat.
5. Add more tests to ksm_tests and ksm_functional_tests
This adds an option to specify the merge type to the ksm_tests.
This allows to test madvise and prctl KSM.
It also adds a two new tests to ksm_functional_tests: one to test
the new prctl options and the other one is a fork test to verify that
the KSM process setting is inherited by client processes.
This patch (of 3):
So far KSM can only be enabled by calling madvise for memory regions. To
be able to use KSM for more workloads, KSM needs to have the ability to be
enabled / disabled at the process / cgroup level.

1) Introduce new MMF_VM_MERGE_ANY flag
This introduces the new flag MMF_VM_MERGE_ANY flag. When this flag
is set, kernel samepage merging (ksm) gets enabled for all vma's of a
process.
2) Setting VM_MERGEABLE on VMA creation
When a VMA is created, if the MMF_VM_MERGE_ANY flag is set, the
VM_MERGEABLE flag will be set for this VMA.
3) support disabling of ksm for a process
This adds the ability to disable ksm for a process if ksm has been
enabled for the process with prctl.
4) add new prctl option to get and set ksm for a process
This adds two new options to the prctl system call
- enable ksm for all vmas of a process (if the vmas support it).
- query if ksm has been enabled for a process.
3. Disabling MMF_VM_MERGE_ANY for storage keys in s390
In the s390 architecture when storage keys are used, the
MMF_VM_MERGE_ANY will be disabled.

Introduce per-mm/cpu current concurrency id (mm_cid) to fix a PostgreSQL
sysbench regression reported by Aaron Lu.
Keep track of the currently allocated mm_cid for each mm/cpu rather than
freeing them immediately on context switch. This eliminates most atomic
operations when context switching back and forth between threads
belonging to different memory spaces in multi-threaded scenarios (many
processes, each with many threads). The per-mm/per-cpu mm_cid values are
serialized by their respective runqueue locks.
Thread migration is handled by introducing invocation to
sched_mm_cid_migrate_to() (with destination runqueue lock held) in
activate_task() for migrating tasks. If the destination cpu's mm_cid is
unset, and if the source runqueue is not actively using its mm_cid, then
the source cpu's mm_cid is moved to the destination cpu on migration.
Introduce a task-work executed periodically, similarly to NUMA work,
which delays reclaim of cid values when they are unused for a period of
time.
Keep track of the allocation time for each per-cpu cid, and let the task
work clear them when they are observed to be older than
SCHED_MM_CID_PERIOD_NS and unused. This task work also clears all
mm_cids which are greater or equal to the Hamming weight of the mm
cidmask to keep concurrency ids compact.
Because we want to ensure the mm_cid converges towards the smaller
values as migrations happen, the prior optimization that was done when
context switching between threads belonging to the same mm is removed,
because it could delay the lazy release of the destination runqueue
mm_cid after it has been replaced by a migration. Removing this prior
optimization is not an issue performance-wise because the introduced
per-mm/per-cpu mm_cid tracking also covers this more specific case.

Patch series "memcg, cpuisol: do not interfere pcp cache charges draining
with cpuisol workloads".
Leonardo has reported [1] that pcp memcg charge draining can interfere
with cpu isolated workloads. The said draining is done from a WQ context
with a pcp worker scheduled on each CPU which holds any cached charges for
a specific memcg hierarchy. Operation is not really a common operation
[2]. It can be triggered from the userspace though so some care is
definitely due.
Leonardo has tried to address the issue by allowing remote charge draining
[3]. This approach requires an additional locking to synchronize pcp
caches sync from a remote cpu from local pcp consumers. Even though the
proposed lock was per-cpu there is still potential for contention and less
predictable behavior.
This patchset addresses the issue from a different angle. Rather than
dealing with a potential synchronization, cpus which are isolated are
simply never scheduled to be drained. This means that a small amount of
charges could be laying around and waiting for a later use or they are
flushed when a different memcg is charged from the same cpu. More details
are in patch 2. The first patch from Frederic is implementing an
abstraction to tell whether a specific cpu has been isolated and therefore
require a special treatment.
This patch (of 2):
Provide this new API to check if a CPU has been isolated either through
isolcpus= or nohz_full= kernel parameter.
It aims at avoiding kernel load deemed to be safely spared on CPUs running
sensitive workload that can't bear any disturbance, such as pcp cache
draining.

Qemu will create vhost devices in the kernel which perform network, SCSI,
etc IO and management operations from worker threads created by the
kthread API. Because the kthread API does a copy_process on the kthreadd
thread, the vhost layer has to use kthread_use_mm to access the Qemu
thread's memory and cgroup_attach_task_all to add itself to the Qemu
thread's cgroups, and it bypasses the RLIMIT_NPROC limit which can result
in VMs creating more threads than the admin expected.
This patch adds a new struct vhost_task which can be used instead of
kthreads. They allow the vhost layer to use copy_process and inherit
the userspace process's mm and cgroups, the task is accounted for
under the userspace's nproc count and can be seen in its process tree,
and other features like namespaces work and are inherited by default.

Kernel has few users of pasid_valid() and all but one checks if the
process has PASID allocated. The helper takes ioasid_t as the input.
Replace the helper with mm_valid_pasid() that takes mm_struct as the
argument. The only call that checks PASID that is not tied to mm_struct
is open-codded now.
This is preparatory patch. It helps avoid ifdeffery: no need to
dereference mm->pasid in generic code to check if the process has PASID.

Each vhost device gets a thread that is used to perform IO and management
operations. Instead of a thread that is accessing a device, the thread is
part of the device, so when it creates a thread using a helper based on
copy_process we can't dup or clone the parent's files/FDS because it
would do an extra increment on ourself.
Later, when we do:
Qemu process exits:
do_exit -> exit_files -> put_files_struct -> close_files
we would leak the device's resources because of that extra refcount
on the fd or file_struct.
This patch adds a no_files option so these worker threads can prevent
taking an extra refcount on themselves.

Patch series "mm: In-kernel support for memory-deny-write-execute (MDWE)",
v2.
The background to this is that systemd has a configuration option called
MemoryDenyWriteExecute [2], implemented as a SECCOMP BPF filter. Its aim
is to prevent a user task from inadvertently creating an executable
mapping that is (or was) writeable. Since such BPF filter is stateless,
it cannot detect mappings that were previously writeable but subsequently
changed to read-only. Therefore the filter simply rejects any
mprotect(PROT_EXEC). The side-effect is that on arm64 with BTI support
(Branch Target Identification), the dynamic loader cannot change an ELF
section from PROT_EXEC to PROT_EXEC|PROT_BTI using mprotect(). For
libraries, it can resort to unmapping and re-mapping but for the main
executable it does not have a file descriptor. The original bug report in
the Red Hat bugzilla - [3] - and subsequent glibc workaround for libraries
- [4].
This series adds in-kernel support for this feature as a prctl
PR_SET_MDWE, that is inherited on fork(). The prctl denies PROT_WRITE |
PROT_EXEC mappings. Like the systemd BPF filter it also denies adding
PROT_EXEC to mappings. However unlike the BPF filter it only denies it if
the mapping didn't previous have PROT_EXEC. This allows to PROT_EXEC ->
PROT_EXEC | PROT_BTI with mprotect(), which is a problem with the BPF
filter.
This patch (of 2):
The aim of such policy is to prevent a user task from creating an
executable mapping that is also writeable.
An example of mmap() returning -EACCESS if the policy is enabled:
mmap(0, size, PROT_READ | PROT_WRITE | PROT_EXEC, flags, 0, 0);
Similarly, mprotect() would return -EACCESS below:
addr = mmap(0, size, PROT_READ | PROT_EXEC, flags, 0, 0);
mprotect(addr, size, PROT_READ | PROT_WRITE | PROT_EXEC);
The BPF filter that systemd MDWE uses is stateless, and disallows
mprotect() with PROT_EXEC completely. This new prctl allows PROT_EXEC to
be enabled if it was already PROT_EXEC, which allows the following case:
addr = mmap(0, size, PROT_READ | PROT_EXEC, flags, 0, 0);
mprotect(addr, size, PROT_READ | PROT_EXEC | PROT_BTI);
where PROT_BTI enables branch tracking identification on arm64.

Instead of duplicating init_mm, allocate a fresh mm. The advantage is
that mm_alloc() has much simpler dependencies. Additionally it makes

iommufd is the user API to control the IOMMU subsystem as it relates to
managing IO page tables that point at user space memory.
It takes over from drivers/vfio/vfio_iommu_type1.c (aka the VFIO
container) which is the VFIO specific interface for a similar idea.
We see a broad need for extended features, some being highly IOMMU device
specific:
- Binding iommu_domain's to PASID/SSID
- Userspace IO page tables, for ARM, x86 and S390
- Kernel bypassed invalidation of user page tables
- Re-use of the KVM page table in the IOMMU
- Dirty page tracking in the IOMMU
- Runtime Increase/Decrease of IOPTE size
- PRI support with faults resolved in userspace
Many of these HW features exist to support VM use cases - for instance the
combination of PASID, PRI and Userspace IO Page Tables allows an
implementation of DMA Shared Virtual Addressing (vSVA) within a
guest. Dirty tracking enables VM live migration with SRIOV devices and
PASID support allow creating "scalable IOV" devices, among other things.
As these features are fundamental to a VM platform they need to be
uniformly exposed to all the driver families that do DMA into VMs, which
is currently VFIO and VDPA.

...
Following the pattern of io_uring, perf, skb, and bpf, iommfd will use
user->locked_vm for accounting pinned pages. Ensure the value is included
in the struct and export free_uid() as iommufd is modular.
user->locked_vm is the good accounting to use for ulimit because it is
per-user, and the security sandboxing of locked pages is not supposed to
be per-process. Other places (vfio, vdpa and infiniband) have used
mm->pinned_vm and/or mm->locked_vm for accounting pinned pages, but this
is only per-process and inconsistent with the new FOLL_LONGTERM users in
the kernel.
Concurrent work is underway to try to put this in a cgroup, so everything
can be consistent and the kernel can provide a FOLL_LONGTERM limit that
actually provides security.

In NUMA balancing memory tiering mode, if there are hot pages in slow
memory node and cold pages in fast memory node, we need to promote/demote
hot/cold pages between the fast and cold memory nodes.
A choice is to promote/demote as fast as possible. But the CPU cycles and
memory bandwidth consumed by the high promoting/demoting throughput will
hurt the latency of some workload because of accessing inflating and slow
memory bandwidth contention.
A way to resolve this issue is to restrict the max promoting/demoting
throughput. It will take longer to finish the promoting/demoting. But
the workload latency will be better. This is implemented in this patch as
the page promotion rate limit mechanism.
The number of the candidate pages to be promoted to the fast memory node
via NUMA balancing is counted, if the count exceeds the limit specified by
the users, the NUMA balancing promotion will be stopped until the next
second.
A new sysctl knob kernel.numa_balancing_promote_rate_limit_MBps is added
for the users to specify the limit.

Pull MM updates from Andrew Morton:
"Most of the MM queue. A few things are still pending.
Liam's maple tree rework didn't make it. This has resulted in a few
other minor patch series being held over for next time.
Multi-gen LRU still isn't merged as we were waiting for mapletree to
stabilize. The current plan is to merge MGLRU into -mm soon and to
later reintroduce mapletree, with a view to hopefully getting both
into 6.1-rc1.

Load-balancing improvements:
============================
- Improve NUMA balancing on AMD Zen systems for affine workloads.
- Improve the handling of reduced-capacity CPUs in load-balancing.
- Energy Model improvements: fix & refine all the energy fairness metrics (PELT),
and remove the conservative threshold requiring 6% energy savings to
migrate a task. Doing this improves power efficiency for most workloads,
and also increases the reliability of energy-efficiency scheduling.
- Optimize/tweak select_idle_cpu() to spend (much) less time searching
for an idle CPU on overloaded systems. There's reports of several
milliseconds spent there on large systems with large workloads ...
[ Since the search logic changed, there might be behavioral side effects. ]
- Improve NUMA imbalance behavior. On certain systems
with spare capacity, initial placement of tasks is non-deterministic,
and such an artificial placement imbalance can persist for a long time,
hurting (and sometimes helping) performance.
The fix is to make fork-time task placement consistent with runtime
NUMA balancing placement.
Note that some performance regressions were reported against this,
caused by workloads that are not memory bandwith limited, which benefit
from the artificial locality of the placement bug(s). Mel Gorman's
conclusion, with which we concur, was that consistency is better than
random workload benefits from non-deterministic bugs:
"Given there is no crystal ball and it's a tradeoff, I think it's
better to be consistent and use similar logic at both fork time
and runtime even if it doesn't have universal benefit."
- Improve core scheduling by fixing a bug in sched_core_update_cookie() that
caused unnecessary forced idling.
- Improve wakeup-balancing by allowing same-LLC wakeup of idle CPUs for newly
woken tasks.
- Fix a newidle balancing bug that introduced unnecessary wakeup latencies.
ABI improvements/fixes:
=======================
- Do not check capabilities and do not issue capability check denial messages
when a scheduler syscall doesn't require privileges. (Such as increasing niceness.)
- Add forced-idle accounting to cgroups too.
- Fix/improve the RSEQ ABI to not just silently accept unknown flags.
(No existing tooling is known to have learned to rely on the previous behavior.)
- Depreciate the (unused) RSEQ_CS_FLAG_NO_RESTART_ON_* flags.
Optimizations:
==============
- Optimize & simplify leaf_cfs_rq_list()
- Micro-optimize set_nr_{and_not,if}_polling() via try_cmpxchg().
Misc fixes & cleanups:
======================
- Fix the RSEQ self-tests on RISC-V and Glibc 2.35 systems.
- Fix a full-NOHZ bug that can in some cases result in the tick not being
re-enabled when the last SCHED_RT task is gone from a runqueue but there's
still SCHED_OTHER tasks around.
- Various PREEMPT_RT related fixes.
- Misc cleanups & smaller fixes.

Track how many threads have not started exiting and when the last
thread starts exiting set SIGNAL_GROUP_EXIT.
This guarantees that SIGNAL_GROUP_EXIT will get set when a process
exits. In practice this achieves nothing as glibc's implementation of
_exit calls sys_group_exit then sys_exit. While glibc's implemenation
of pthread_exit calls exit (which cleansup and calls _exit) if it is
the last thread and sys_exit if it is the last thread.
This means the only way the kernel might observe a process that does
not set call exit_group is if the language runtime does not use glibc.
With more cleanups I hope to move the decrement of quick_threads
earlier.

Here the kworker is waiting on msdos_sb_info::s_lock which is held by
tar which is in turn waiting for a buffer which is locked waiting to be
flushed, but this operation is plugged in the kworker.
The lock is a normal struct mutex, so tsk_is_pi_blocked() will always
return false on !RT and thus the behaviour changes for RT.
It seems that the intent here is to skip blk_flush_plug() in the case
where a non-preemptible lock (such as a spinlock) has been converted to
a rtmutex on RT, which is the case covered by the SM_RTLOCK_WAIT
schedule flag. But sched_submit_work() is only called from schedule()
which is never called in this scenario, so the check can simply be
deleted.
Looking at the history of the -rt patchset, in fact this change was
present from v5.9.1-rt20 until being dropped in v5.13-rt1 as it was part
of a larger patch [1] most of which was replaced by commit b4bfa3fcfe
("sched/core: Rework the __schedule() preempt argument").
As described in [1]:
The schedule process must distinguish between blocking on a regular
sleeping lock (rwsem and mutex) and a RT-only sleeping lock (spinlock
and rwlock):
- rwsem and mutex must flush block requests (blk_schedule_flush_plug())
even if blocked on a lock. This can not deadlock because this also
happens for non-RT.
There should be a warning if the scheduling point is within a RCU read
section.
- spinlock and rwlock must not flush block requests. This will deadlock
if the callback attempts to acquire a lock which is already acquired.
Similarly to being preempted, there should be no warning if the
scheduling point is within a RCU read section.
and with the tsk_is_pi_blocked() in the scheduler path, we hit the first
issue.

The time spent in select_idle_cpu() is visible to netperf and might have a negative
impact.
[Symptom analysis]
The patch [1] from Mel Gorman has been applied to track the efficiency
of select_idle_sibling. Copy the indicators here:
SIS Search Efficiency(se_eff%):
A ratio expressed as a percentage of runqueues scanned versus
idle CPUs found. A 100% efficiency indicates that the target,
prev or recent CPU of a task was idle at wakeup. The lower the
efficiency, the more runqueues were scanned before an idle CPU
was found.
SIS Domain Search Efficiency(dom_eff%):
Similar, except only for the slower SIS
patch.
SIS Fast Success Rate(fast_rate%):
Percentage of SIS that used target, prev or
recent CPUs.
SIS Success rate(success_rate%):
Percentage of scans that found an idle CPU.
The test is based on Aubrey's schedtests tool, including netperf, hackbench,
schbench and tbench.

According to the test above, if the system becomes busy, the
SIS Search Efficiency(se_eff%) drops significantly. Although some
benchmarks would finally find an idle CPU(success_rate% = 100%), it is
doubtful whether it is worth it to search the whole LLC domain.
[Proposal]
It would be ideal to have a crystal ball to answer this question:
How many CPUs must a wakeup path walk down, before it can find an idle
CPU? Many potential metrics could be used to predict the number.
One candidate is the sum of util_avg in this LLC domain. The benefit
of choosing util_avg is that it is a metric of accumulated historic
activity, which seems to be smoother than instantaneous metrics
(such as rq->nr_running). Besides, choosing the sum of util_avg
would help predict the load of the LLC domain more precisely, because
SIS_PROP uses one CPU's idle time to estimate the total LLC domain idle
time.
In summary, the lower the util_avg is, the more select_idle_cpu()
should scan for idle CPU, and vice versa. When the sum of util_avg
in this LLC domain hits 85% or above, the scan stops. The reason to
choose 85% as the threshold is that this is the imbalance_pct(117)
when a LLC sched group is overloaded.
Introduce the quadratic function:
y = SCHED_CAPACITY_SCALE - p * x^2
and y'= y / SCHED_CAPACITY_SCALE
x is the ratio of sum_util compared to the CPU capacity:
x = sum_util / (llc_weight * SCHED_CAPACITY_SCALE)
y' is the ratio of CPUs to be scanned in the LLC domain,
and the number of CPUs to scan is calculated by:
nr_scan = llc_weight * y'
Choosing quadratic function is because:
[1] Compared to the linear function, it scans more aggressively when the
sum_util is low.
[2] Compared to the exponential function, it is easier to calculate.
[3] It seems that there is no accurate mapping between the sum of util_avg
and the number of CPUs to be scanned. Use heuristic scan for now.
For a platform with 112 CPUs per LLC, the number of CPUs to scan is:
sum_util% 0 5 15 25 35 45 55 65 75 85 86 ...
scan_nr 112 111 108 102 93 81 65 47 25 1 0 ...
For a platform with 16 CPUs per LLC, the number of CPUs to scan is:
sum_util% 0 5 15 25 35 45 55 65 75 85 86 ...
scan_nr 16 15 15 14 13 11 9 6 3 0 0 ...
Furthermore, to minimize the overhead of calculating the metrics in
select_idle_cpu(), borrow the statistics from periodic load balance.
As mentioned by Abel, on a platform with 112 CPUs per LLC, the
sum_util calculated by periodic load balance after 112 ms would
decay to about 0.5 * 0.5 * 0.5 * 0.7 = 8.75%, thus bringing a delay
in reflecting the latest utilization. But it is a trade-off.
Checking the util_avg in newidle load balance would be more frequent,
but it brings overhead - multiple CPUs write/read the per-LLC shared
variable and introduces cache contention. Tim also mentioned that,
it is allowed to be non-optimal in terms of scheduling for the
short-term variations, but if there is a long-term trend in the load
behavior, the scheduler can adjust for that.
When SIS_UTIL is enabled, the select_idle_cpu() uses the nr_scan
calculated by SIS_UTIL instead of the one from SIS_PROP. As Peter and
Mel suggested, SIS_UTIL should be enabled by default.
This patch is based on the util_avg, which is very sensitive to the
CPU frequency invariance. There is an issue that, when the max frequency
has been clamp, the util_avg would decay insanely fast when
the CPU is idle. Commit addca28512 ("cpufreq: intel_pstate: Handle no_turbo
in frequency invariance") could be used to mitigate this symptom, by adjusting
the arch_max_freq_ratio when turbo is disabled. But this issue is still
not thoroughly fixed, because the current code is unaware of the user-specified
max CPU frequency.
[Test result]
netperf and tbench were launched with 25% 50% 75% 100% 125% 150%

by 1, 2 ,4, 8 groups. Each test lasts for 100 seconds and repeats 3 times.
The following is the benchmark result comparison between
baseline:vanilla v5.19-rc1 and compare:patched kernel. Positive compare%
indicates better performance.

in perf-profile.calltrace.cycles-pp._raw_spin_lock.raw_spin_rq_lock_nested

*Consider the Standard Deviation, this -7.36% regression might not be valid.
Also, a OLTP workload with a commercial RDBMS has been tested, and there
is no significant change.
There were concerns that unbalanced tasks among CPUs would cause problems.
For example, suppose the LLC domain is composed of 8 CPUs, and 7 tasks are
bound to CPU0~CPU6, while CPU7 is idle:
CPU0 CPU1 CPU2 CPU3 CPU4 CPU5 CPU6 CPU7
util_avg 1024 1024 1024 1024 1024 1024 1024 0
Since the util_avg ratio is 87.5%( = 7/8 ), which is higher than 85%,
select_idle_cpu() will not scan, thus CPU7 is undetected during scan.
But according to Mel, it is unlikely the CPU7 will be idle all the time
because CPU7 could pull some tasks via CPU_NEWLY_IDLE.
lkp(kernel test robot) has reported a regression on stress-ng.sock on a
very busy system. According to the sched_debug statistics, it might be caused
by SIS_UTIL terminates the scan and chooses a previous CPU earlier, and this
might introduce more context switch, especially involuntary preemption, which
impacts a busy stress-ng. This regression has shown that, not all benchmarks
in every scenario benefit from idle CPU scan limit, and it needs further
investigation.
Besides, there is slight regression in hackbench's 16 groups case when the
LLC domain has 16 CPUs. Prateek mentioned that we should scan aggressively
in an LLC domain with 16 CPUs. Because the cost to search for an idle one
among 16 CPUs is negligible. The current patch aims to propose a generic
solution and only considers the util_avg. Something like the below could
be applied on top of the current patch to fulfill the requirement:
if (llc_weight <= 16)
nr_scan = nr_scan * 32 / llc_weight;
For LLC domain with 16 CPUs, the nr_scan will be expanded to 2 times large.
The smaller the CPU number this LLC domain has, the larger nr_scan will be
expanded. This needs further investigation.
There is also ongoing work[2] from Abel to filter out the busy CPUs during
wakeup, to further speed up the idle CPU scan. And it could be a following-up
optimization on top of this change.

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.

In commit 40966e316f ("kthread: Ensure struct kthread is present for

kernel_execve to have struct kthread allocated for them. This struct
kthread going away during execve in turned made a use after free of
struct kthread possible.
The commit 343f4c49f2 ("kthread: Don't allocate kthread_struct for

to be backportable.

I ran into two complications. The function task_tick_numa was
detecting tasks without an mm by testing for the presence of
PF_KTHREAD. The initramfs code in populate_initrd_image was using
flush_delayed_fput to ensuere the closing of all it's file descriptors
was complete, and flush_delayed_fput does not work in a userspace thread.
I have looked and looked and more complications and in my code review
