Rewrite the core freezer to behave better wrt thawing and be simpler
in general.
By replacing PF_FROZEN with TASK_FROZEN, a special block state, it is
ensured frozen tasks stay frozen until thawed and don't randomly wake
up early, as is currently possible.
As such, it does away with PF_FROZEN and PF_FREEZER_SKIP, freeing up
two PF_flags (yay!).
Specifically; the current scheme works a little like:
freezer_do_not_count();
schedule();
freezer_count();
And either the task is blocked, or it lands in try_to_freezer()
through freezer_count(). Now, when it is blocked, the freezer
considers it frozen and continues.
However, on thawing, once pm_freezing is cleared, freezer_count()
stops working, and any random/spurious wakeup will let a task run
before its time.
That is, thawing tries to thaw things in explicit order; kernel
threads and workqueues before doing bringing SMP back before userspace
etc.. However due to the above mentioned races it is entirely possible
for userspace tasks to thaw (by accident) before SMP is back.
This can be a fatal problem in asymmetric ISA architectures (eg ARMv9)
where the userspace task requires a special CPU to run.
As said; replace this with a special task state TASK_FROZEN and add
the following state transitions:
TASK_FREEZABLE -> TASK_FROZEN
__TASK_STOPPED -> TASK_FROZEN
__TASK_TRACED -> TASK_FROZEN
The new TASK_FREEZABLE can be set on any state part of TASK_NORMAL
(IOW. TASK_INTERRUPTIBLE and TASK_UNINTERRUPTIBLE) -- any such state
is already required to deal with spurious wakeups and the freezer
causes one such when thawing the task (since the original state is
lost).
The special __TASK_{STOPPED,TRACED} states *can* be restored since
their canonical state is in ->jobctl.
With this, frozen tasks need an explicit TASK_FROZEN wakeup and are
free of undue (early / spurious) wakeups.

Many source files in the tree are missing licensing information, which
makes it harder for compliance tools to determine the correct license.
By default all files without license information are under the default
license of the kernel, which is GPL version 2.
Update the files which contain no license information with the 'GPL-2.0'
SPDX license identifier. The SPDX identifier is a legally binding
shorthand, which can be used instead of the full boiler plate text.
This patch is based on work done by Thomas Gleixner and Kate Stewart and
Philippe Ombredanne.
How this work was done:
Patches were generated and checked against linux-4.14-rc6 for a subset of
the use cases:
- file had no licensing information it it.
- file was a */uapi/* one with no licensing information in it,
- file was a */uapi/* one with existing licensing information,
Further patches will be generated in subsequent months to fix up cases
where non-standard license headers were used, and references to license
had to be inferred by heuristics based on keywords.
The analysis to determine which SPDX License Identifier to be applied to
a file was done in a spreadsheet of side by side results from of the
output of two independent scanners (ScanCode & Windriver) producing SPDX
tag:value files created by Philippe Ombredanne. Philippe prepared the
base worksheet, and did an initial spot review of a few 1000 files.
The 4.13 kernel was the starting point of the analysis with 60,537 files
assessed. Kate Stewart did a file by file comparison of the scanner
results in the spreadsheet to determine which SPDX license identifier(s)
to be applied to the file. She confirmed any determination that was not
immediately clear with lawyers working with the Linux Foundation.
Criteria used to select files for SPDX license identifier tagging was:
- Files considered eligible had to be source code files.
- Make and config files were included as candidates if they contained >5
lines of source
- File already had some variant of a license header in it (even if <5
lines).
All documentation files were explicitly excluded.
The following heuristics were used to determine which SPDX license
identifiers to apply.
- when both scanners couldn't find any license traces, file was
considered to have no license information in it, and the top level
COPYING file license applied.
For non */uapi/* files that summary was:
SPDX license identifier # files
---------------------------------------------------|-------
GPL-2.0 11139
and resulted in the first patch in this series.
If that file was a */uapi/* path one, it was "GPL-2.0 WITH
Linux-syscall-note" otherwise it was "GPL-2.0". Results of that was:
SPDX license identifier # files
---------------------------------------------------|-------
GPL-2.0 WITH Linux-syscall-note 930
and resulted in the second patch in this series.
- if a file had some form of licensing information in it, and was one
of the */uapi/* ones, it was denoted with the Linux-syscall-note if
any GPL family license was found in the file or had no licensing in
it (per prior point). Results summary:
SPDX license identifier # files
---------------------------------------------------|------
GPL-2.0 WITH Linux-syscall-note 270
GPL-2.0+ WITH Linux-syscall-note 169
((GPL-2.0 WITH Linux-syscall-note) OR BSD-2-Clause) 21
((GPL-2.0 WITH Linux-syscall-note) OR BSD-3-Clause) 17
LGPL-2.1+ WITH Linux-syscall-note 15
GPL-1.0+ WITH Linux-syscall-note 14
((GPL-2.0+ WITH Linux-syscall-note) OR BSD-3-Clause) 5
LGPL-2.0+ WITH Linux-syscall-note 4
LGPL-2.1 WITH Linux-syscall-note 3
((GPL-2.0 WITH Linux-syscall-note) OR MIT) 3
((GPL-2.0 WITH Linux-syscall-note) AND MIT) 1
and that resulted in the third patch in this series.
- when the two scanners agreed on the detected license(s), that became
the concluded license(s).
- when there was disagreement between the two scanners (one detected a
license but the other didn't, or they both detected different
licenses) a manual inspection of the file occurred.
- In most cases a manual inspection of the information in the file
resulted in a clear resolution of the license that should apply (and
which scanner probably needed to revisit its heuristics).
- When it was not immediately clear, the license identifier was
confirmed with lawyers working with the Linux Foundation.
- If there was any question as to the appropriate license identifier,
the file was flagged for further research and to be revisited later
in time.
In total, over 70 hours of logged manual review was done on the
spreadsheet to determine the SPDX license identifiers to apply to the
source files by Kate, Philippe, Thomas and, in some cases, confirmation
by lawyers working with the Linux Foundation.
Kate also obtained a third independent scan of the 4.13 code base from
FOSSology, and compared selected files where the other two scanners
disagreed against that SPDX file, to see if there was new insights. The
Windriver scanner is based on an older version of FOSSology in part, so
they are related.
Thomas did random spot checks in about 500 files from the spreadsheets
for the uapi headers and agreed with SPDX license identifier in the
files he inspected. For the non-uapi files Thomas did random spot checks
in about 15000 files.
In initial set of patches against 4.14-rc6, 3 files were found to have
copy/paste license identifier errors, and have been fixed to reflect the
correct identifier.
Additionally Philippe spent 10 hours this week doing a detailed manual
inspection and review of the 12,461 patched files from the initial patch
version early this week with:
- a full scancode scan run, collecting the matched texts, detected
license ids and scores
- reviewing anything where there was a license detected (about 500+
files) to ensure that the applied SPDX license was correct
- reviewing anything where there was no detection but the patch license
was not GPL-2.0 WITH Linux-syscall-note to ensure that the applied
SPDX license was correct
This produced a worksheet with 20 files needing minor correction. This
worksheet was then exported into 3 different .csv files for the
different types of files to be modified.
These .csv files were then reviewed by Greg. Thomas wrote a script to
parse the csv files and add the proper SPDX tag to the file, in the
format that the file expected. This script was further refined by Greg
based on the output to detect more types of files automatically and to
distinguish between header and source .c files (which need different
comment types.) Finally Greg ran the script using the .csv files to
generate the patches.

This patchset introduces a /proc/<pid>/timerslack_ns interface which
would allow controlling processes to be able to set the timerslack value
on other processes in order to save power by avoiding wakeups (Something
Android currently does via out-of-tree patches).
The first patch tries to fix the internal timer_slack_ns usage which was
defined as a long, which limits the slack range to ~4 seconds on 32bit
systems. It converts it to a u64, which provides the same basically
unlimited slack (500 years) on both 32bit and 64bit machines.
The second patch introduces the /proc/<pid>/timerslack_ns interface
which allows the full 64bit slack range for a task to be read or set on
both 32bit and 64bit machines.
With these two patches, on a 32bit machine, after setting the slack on
bash to 10 seconds:
$ time sleep 1
real 0m10.747s
user 0m0.001s
sys 0m0.005s
The first patch is a little ugly, since I had to chase the slack delta
arguments through a number of functions converting them to u64s. Let me
know if it makes sense to break that up more or not.
Other than that things are fairly straightforward.
This patch (of 2):
The timer_slack_ns value in the task struct is currently a unsigned
long. This means that on 32bit applications, the maximum slack is just
over 4 seconds. However, on 64bit machines, its much much larger (~500
years).
This disparity could make application development a little (as well as
the default_slack) to a u64. This means both 32bit and 64bit systems
have the same effective internal slack range.
Now the existing ABI via PR_GET_TIMERSLACK and PR_SET_TIMERSLACK specify
the interface as a unsigned long, so we preserve that limitation on
32bit systems, where SET_TIMERSLACK can only set the slack to a unsigned
long value, and GET_TIMERSLACK will return ULONG_MAX if the slack is
actually larger then what can be stored by an unsigned long.
This patch also modifies hrtimer functions which specified the slack
delta as a unsigned long.

Freezing tasks will wake up almost every userspace task from
where it is blocking and force it to run until it hits a
call to try_to_sleep(), generally on the exit path from the syscall
it is blocking in. On resume each task will run again, usually
restarting the syscall and running until it hits the same
blocking call as it was originally blocked in.
To allow tasks to avoid running on every suspend/resume cycle,
this patch adds additional freezable wrappers around blocking calls
that call freezer_do_not_count(). Combined with the previous patch,
these tasks will not run during suspend or resume unless they wake
up for another reason, in which case they will run until they hit
the try_to_freeze() in freezer_count(), and then continue processing
the wakeup after tasks are thawed.
Additional patches will convert the most common locations that
userspace blocks in to use freezable helpers.

We shouldn't try_to_freeze if locks are held. Holding a lock can cause a
deadlock if the lock is later acquired in the suspend or hibernate path
(e.g. by dpm). Holding a lock can also cause a deadlock in the case of
cgroup_freezer if a lock is held inside a frozen cgroup that is later
acquired by a process outside that group.
History:
This patch was originally applied as 6aa9707099 and reverted in
dbf520a9d7 because NFS was freezing with locks held. It was
deemed better to keep the bad freeze point in NFS to allow laptops
to suspend consistently. The previous patch in this series converts
NFS to call _unsafe versions of the freezable helpers so that
lockdep doesn't complain about them until a more correct fix
can be applied.

CIFS calls wait_event_freezekillable_unsafe with a VFS lock held,
which is unsafe and will cause lockdep warnings when 6aa9707
"lockdep: check that no locks held at freeze time" is reapplied
(it was reverted in dbf520a). CIFS shouldn't be doing this, but
it has long-running syscalls that must hold a lock but also
shouldn't block suspend. Until CIFS freeze handling is rewritten
to use a signal to exit out of the critical section, add a new
wait_event_freezekillable_unsafe helper that will not run the
lockdep test when 6aa9707 is reapplied, and call it from CIFS.
In practice the likley result of holding the lock while freezing
is that a second task blocked on the lock will never freeze,
aborting suspend, but it is possible to manufacture a case using
the cgroup freezer, the lock, and the suspend freezer to create
a deadlock. Silencing the lockdep warning here will allow
problems to be found in other drivers that may have a more
serious deadlock risk, and prevent new problems from being added.

At present, the value of timeout for freezing is 20s, which is
meaningless in case that one thread is frozen with mutex locked
and another thread is trying to lock the mutex, as this time of
freezing will fail unavoidably.
And if there is no new wakeup event registered, the system will
waste at most 20s for such meaningless trying of freezing.
With this patch, the value of timeout can be configured to smaller
value, so such meaningless trying of freezing will be aborted in
earlier time, and later freezing can be also triggered in earlier
time. And more power will be saved.
In normal case on mobile phone, it costs real little time to freeze
processes. On some platform, it only costs about 20ms to freeze
user space processes and 10ms to freeze kernel freezable threads.

Pull cgroup changes from Tejun Heo:
"A lot of activities on cgroup side. The big changes are focused on
making cgroup hierarchy handling saner.
- cgroup_rmdir() had peculiar semantics - it allowed cgroup
destruction to be vetoed by individual controllers and tried to
drain refcnt synchronously. The vetoing never worked properly and
caused good deal of contortions in cgroup. memcg was the last
reamining user. Michal Hocko removed the usage and cgroup_rmdir()
path has been simplified significantly. This was done in a
separate branch so that the memcg people can base further memcg
changes on top.
- The above allowed cleaning up cgroup lifecycle management and
implementation of generic cgroup iterators which are used to
improve hierarchy support.
- cgroup_freezer updated to allow migration in and out of a frozen
cgroup and handle hierarchy. If a cgroup is frozen, all descendant
cgroups are frozen.
- netcls_cgroup and netprio_cgroup updated to handle hierarchy
properly.
- Various fixes and cleanups.
- Two merge commits. One to pull in memcg and rmdir cleanups (needed
to build iterators). The other pulled in cgroup/for-3.7-fixes for
device_cgroup fixes so that further device_cgroup patches can be
stacked on top."

try_to_freeze_tasks() and cgroup_freezer rely on scheduler locks
to ensure that a task doing STOPPED/TRACED -> RUNNING transition
can't escape freezing. This mostly works, but ptrace_stop() does
not necessarily call schedule(), it can change task->state back to
RUNNING and check freezing() without any lock/barrier in between.
We could add the necessary barrier, but this patch changes
ptrace_stop() and do_signal_stop() to use freezable_schedule().
This fixes the race, freezer_count() and freezer_should_skip()
carefully avoid the race.
And this simplifies the code, try_to_freeze_tasks/update_if_frozen
no longer need to use task_is_stopped_or_traced() checks with the
non trivial assumptions. We can rely on the mechanism which was
specially designed to mark the sleeping task as "frozen enough".
v2: As Tejun pointed out, we can also change get_signal_to_deliver()
and move try_to_freeze() up before 'relock' label.

A task is considered frozen enough between freezer_do_not_count() and
freezer_count() and freezers use freezer_should_skip() to test this
condition. This supposedly works because freezer_count() always calls
try_to_freezer() after clearing %PF_FREEZER_SKIP.
However, there currently is nothing which guarantees that
freezer_count() sees %true freezing() after clearing %PF_FREEZER_SKIP
when freezing is in progress, and vice-versa. A task can escape the
freezing condition in effect by freezer_count() seeing !freezing() and
freezer_should_skip() seeing %PF_FREEZER_SKIP.
This patch adds smp_mb()'s to freezer_count() and
freezer_should_skip() such that either %true freezing() is visible to
freezer_count() or !PF_FREEZER_SKIP is visible to
freezer_should_skip().

Commit 2aede851dd
PM / Hibernate: Freeze kernel threads after preallocating memory
introduced a mechanism by which kernel threads were frozen after
the preallocation of hibernate image memory to avoid problems with
frozen kernel threads not responding to memory freeing requests.
However, it overlooked the s2disk code path in which the
SNAPSHOT_CREATE_IMAGE ioctl was run directly after SNAPSHOT_FREE,
which caused freeze_workqueues_begin() to BUG(), because it saw
that worqueues had been already frozen.
Although in principle this issue might be addressed by removing
the relevant BUG_ON() from freeze_workqueues_begin(), that would
reintroduce the very problem that commit 2aede851dd
attempted to avoid into that particular code path. For this reason,
to fix the issue at hand, introduce thaw_kernel_threads() and make
the SNAPSHOT_FREE ioctl execute it.
Special thanks to Srivatsa S. Bhat for detailed analysis of the
problem.

At present, the functions freezer_count() and freezer_do_not_count()
impose the restriction that they are effective only for userspace processes.
However, now, these functions have found more utility than originally
intended by the commit which introduced it: ba96a0c8 (freezer:
fix vfork problem). And moreover, even the vfork issue actually does not
need the above restriction in these functions.
So, modify these functions to make them work even for kernel threads, so
that they can be used at other places in the kernel, where the userspace
restriction doesn't apply.

There's no in-kernel user of set_freezable_with_signal() left. Mixing
TIF_SIGPENDING with kernel threads can lead to nasty corner cases as
kernel threads never travel signal delivery path on their own.
e.g. the current implementation is buggy in the cancelation path of
__thaw_task(). It calls recalc_sigpending_and_wake() in an attempt to
clear TIF_SIGPENDING but the function never clears it regardless of
sigpending state. This means that signallable freezable kthreads may
continue executing with !freezing() && stuck TIF_SIGPENDING, which can
be troublesome.
This patch removes set_freezable_with_signal() along with
PF_FREEZER_NOSIG and recalc_sigpending*() calls in freezer. User
tasks get TIF_SIGPENDING, kernel tasks get woken up and the spurious
sigpending is dealt with in the usual signal delivery path.

Signed-off-by: Tejun Heo <tj@kernel.org>
Using TIF_FREEZE for freezing worked when there was only single
freezing condition (the PM one); however, now there is also the
cgroup_freezer and single bit flag is getting clumsy.
thaw_processes() is already testing whether cgroup freezing in in
effect to avoid thawing tasks which were frozen by both PM and cgroup
freezers.
This is racy (nothing prevents race against cgroup freezing) and
fragile. A much simpler way is to test actual freeze conditions from
freezing() - ie. directly test whether PM or cgroup freezing is in
effect.
This patch adds variables to indicate whether and what type of
freezing conditions are in effect and reimplements freezing() such
that it directly tests whether any of the two freezing conditions is
active and the task should freeze. On fast path, freezing() is still
very cheap - it only tests system_freezing_cnt.
This makes the clumsy dancing aroung TIF_FREEZE unnecessary and
freeze/thaw operations more usual - updating state variables for the
new state and nudging target tasks so that they notice the new state
and comply. As long as the nudging happens after state update, it's
race-free.
* This allows use of freezing() in freeze_task(). Replace the open
coded tests with freezing().
* p != current test is added to warning printing conditions in
try_to_freeze_tasks() failure path. This is necessary as freezing()
is now true for the task which initiated freezing too.

TIF_FREEZE will be removed soon and freezing() will directly test

changes in preparation.
* Rename cgroup_freezing_or_frozen() to cgroup_freezing() and make it
return bool.
* Make cgroup_freezing() access task_freezer() under rcu read lock
instead of task_lock(). This makes the state dereferencing racy
against task moving to another cgroup; however, it was already racy
without this change as ->state dereference wasn't synchronized.
This will be later dealt with using attach hooks.
* freezer->state is now set before trying to push tasks into the
target state.

freeze->state incorrectly to CGROUP_FROZEN instead of

freeze_processes() failure path is rather messy. Freezing is canceled

callers (xen and kexec) didn't do it.

makes freeze_processes() and freeze_kernel_threads() call
thaw_processes() on failure instead so that the system is fully thawed

Commit 27920651fe "PM / Freezer: Make fake_signal_wake_up() wake
TASK_KILLABLE tasks too" updated fake_signal_wake_up() used by freezer
to wake up KILLABLE tasks. Sending unsolicited wakeups to tasks in
killable sleep is dangerous as there are code paths which depend on
tasks not waking up spuriously from KILLABLE sleep.
For example. sys_read() or page can sleep in TASK_KILLABLE assuming
that wait/down/whatever _killable can only fail if we can not return
to the usermode. TASK_TRACED is another obvious example.
The offending commit was to resolve freezer hang during system PM
operations caused by KILLABLE sleeps in network filesystems.
wait_event_freezekillable(), which depends on the spurious KILLABLE
wakeup, was added by f06ac72e92 "cifs, freezer: add
wait_event_freezekillable and have cifs use it" to be used to
implement killable & freezable sleeps in network filesystems.
To prepare for reverting of 27920651fe, this patch reimplements
wait_event_freezekillable() using freezer_do_not_count/freezer_count()
so that it doesn't depend on the spurious KILLABLE wakeup. This isn't
very nice but should do for now.

CIFS currently uses wait_event_killable to put tasks to sleep while
they await replies from the server. That function though does not
allow the freezer to run. In many cases, the network interface may
be going down anyway, in which case the reply will never come. The
client then ends up blocking the computer from suspending.
Fix this by adding a new wait_event_freezable variant --
wait_event_freezekillable. The idea is to combine the behavior of
wait_event_killable and wait_event_freezable -- put the task to
sleep and only allow it to be awoken by fatal signals, but also
allow the freezer to do its job.

There is a problem with the current ordering of hibernate code which
leads to deadlocks in some filesystems' memory shrinkers. Namely,
some filesystems use freezable kernel threads that are inactive when
the hibernate memory preallocation is carried out. Those same
filesystems use memory shrinkers that may be triggered by the
hibernate memory preallocation. If those memory shrinkers wait for
the frozen kernel threads, the hibernate process deadlocks (this
happens with XFS, for one example).
Apparently, it is not technically viable to redesign the filesystems
in question to avoid the situation described above, so the only
possible solution of this issue is to defer the freezing of kernel
threads until the hibernate memory preallocation is done, which is
implemented by this change.
Unfortunately, this requires the memory preallocation to be done
before the "prepare" stage of device freeze, so after this change the
only way drivers can allocate additional memory for their freeze
routines in a clean way is to use PM notifiers.

When the cgroup freezer is used to freeze tasks we do not want to thaw
those tasks during resume. Currently we test the cgroup freezer
state of the resuming tasks to see if the cgroup is FROZEN. If so
then we don't thaw the task. However, the FREEZING state also indicates
that the task should remain frozen.
This also avoids a problem pointed out by Oren Ladaan: the freezer state
transition from FREEZING to FROZEN is updated lazily when userspace reads
or writes the freezer.state file in the cgroup filesystem. This means that
resume will thaw tasks in cgroups which should be in the FROZEN state if
there is no read/write of the freezer.state file to trigger this
transition before suspend.
NOTE: Another "simple" solution would be to always update the cgroup
freezer state during resume. However it's a bad choice for several reasons:
Updating the cgroup freezer state is somewhat expensive because it requires
walking all the tasks in the cgroup and checking if they are each frozen.
Worse, this could easily make resume run in N^2 time where N is the number
of tasks in the cgroup. Finally, updating the freezer state from this code
path requires trickier locking because of the way locks must be ordered.
Instead of updating the freezer state we rely on the fact that lazy
updates only manage the transition from FREEZING to FROZEN. We know that
a cgroup with the FREEZING state may actually be FROZEN so test for that
state too. This makes sense in the resume path even for partially-frozen
cgroups -- those that really are FREEZING but not FROZEN.

This patch implements a new freezer subsystem in the control groups
framework. It provides a way to stop and resume execution of all tasks in
a cgroup by writing in the cgroup filesystem.
The freezer subsystem in the container filesystem defines a file named
freezer.state. Writing "FROZEN" to the state file will freeze all tasks
in the cgroup. Subsequently writing "RUNNING" will unfreeze the tasks in
the cgroup. Reading will return the current state.
* Examples of usage :
# mkdir /containers/freezer
# mount -t cgroup -ofreezer freezer /containers
# mkdir /containers/0
# echo $some_pid > /containers/0/tasks
to get status of the freezer subsystem :
# cat /containers/0/freezer.state
RUNNING
to freeze all tasks in the container :
# echo FROZEN > /containers/0/freezer.state
# cat /containers/0/freezer.state
FREEZING
# cat /containers/0/freezer.state
FROZEN
to unfreeze all tasks in the container :
# echo RUNNING > /containers/0/freezer.state
# cat /containers/0/freezer.state
RUNNING
This is the basic mechanism which should do the right thing for user space
task in a simple scenario.
It's important to note that freezing can be incomplete. In that case we
return EBUSY. This means that some tasks in the cgroup are busy doing
something that prevents us from completely freezing the cgroup at this
time. After EBUSY, the cgroup will remain partially frozen -- reflected
by freezer.state reporting "FREEZING" when read. The state will remain
"FREEZING" until one of these things happens:
1) Userspace cancels the freezing operation by writing "RUNNING" to
the freezer.state file
2) Userspace retries the freezing operation by writing "FROZEN" to
the freezer.state file (writing "FREEZING" is not legal
and returns EIO)
3) The tasks that blocked the cgroup from entering the "FROZEN"
state disappear from the cgroup's set of tasks.

The freezer currently attempts to distinguish kernel threads from
user space tasks by checking if their mm pointer is unset and it
does not send fake signals to kernel threads. However, there are
kernel threads, mostly related to networking, that behave like
user space tasks and may want to be sent a fake signal to be frozen.
Introduce the new process flag PF_FREEZER_NOSIG that will be set
by default for all kernel threads and make the freezer only send
fake signals to the tasks having PF_FREEZER_NOSIG unset. Provide
the set_freezable_with_signal() function to be called by the kernel
threads that want to be sent a fake signal for freezing.
This patch should not change the freezer's observable behavior.
