This was done entirely with mindless brute force, using
git grep -l '\<k[vmz]*alloc_objs*(.*, GFP_KERNEL)' |
xargs sed -i 's/\(alloc_objs*(.*\), GFP_KERNEL)/\1)/'
to convert the new alloc_obj() users that had a simple GFP_KERNEL
argument to just drop that argument.
Note that due to the extreme simplicity of the scripting, any slightly
more complex cases spread over multiple lines would not be triggered:
they definitely exist, but this covers the vast bulk of the cases, and
the resulting diff is also then easier to check automatically.
For the same reason the 'flex' versions will be done as a separate

This is the result of running the Coccinelle script from
scripts/coccinelle/api/kmalloc_objs.cocci. The script is designed to
avoid scalar types (which need careful case-by-case checking), and
instead replace kmalloc-family calls that allocate struct or union
object instances:
Single allocations: kmalloc(sizeof(TYPE), ...)
are replaced with: kmalloc_obj(TYPE, ...)
Array allocations: kmalloc_array(COUNT, sizeof(TYPE), ...)
are replaced with: kmalloc_objs(TYPE, COUNT, ...)
Flex array allocations: kmalloc(struct_size(PTR, FAM, COUNT), ...)
are replaced with: kmalloc_flex(*PTR, FAM, COUNT, ...)
(where TYPE may also be *VAR)
The resulting allocations no longer return "void *", instead returning
"TYPE *".

Dietmar reported that commit 3840cbe24c ("sched: psi: fix bogus
pressure spikes from aggregation race") caused a regression for him on
a high context switch rate benchmark (schbench) due to the now
repeating cpu_clock() calls.
In particular the problem is that get_recent_times() will extrapolate
the current state to 'now'. But if an update uses a timestamp from
before the start of the update, it is possible to get two reads
with inconsistent results. It is effectively back-dating an update.
(note that this all hard-relies on the clock being synchronized across
CPUs -- if this is not the case, all bets are off).
Combine this problem with the fact that there are per-group-per-cpu
seqcounts, the commit in question pushed the clock read into the group
iteration, causing tree-depth cpu_clock() calls. On architectures
where cpu_clock() has appreciable overhead, this hurts.
Instead move to a per-cpu seqcount, which allows us to have a single
clock read for all group updates, increasing internal consistency and
lowering update overhead. This comes at the cost of a longer update
side (proportional to the tree depth) which can cause the read side to
retry more often.

Due to the weird Makefile setup of sched the various files do not
compile as stand alone units. The new generation of editors are trying
to do just this -- mostly to offer fancy things like completions but
also better syntax highlighting and code navigation.
Specifically, I've been playing around with neovim and clangd.
Setting up clangd on the kernel source is a giant pain in the arse
(this really should be improved), but once you do manage, you run into

Brandon reports sporadic, non-sensical spikes in cumulative pressure
time (total=) when reading cpu.pressure at a high rate. This is due to
a race condition between reader aggregation and tasks changing states.
While it affects all states and all resources captured by PSI, in
practice it most likely triggers with CPU pressure, since scheduling
events are so frequent compared to other resource events.
The race context is the live snooping of ongoing stalls during a
pressure read. The read aggregates per-cpu records for stalls that
have concluded, but will also incorporate ad-hoc the duration of any
active state that hasn't been recorded yet. This is important to get
timely measurements of ongoing stalls. Those ad-hoc samples are
calculated on-the-fly up to the current time on that CPU; since the
stall hasn't concluded, it's expected that this is the minimum amount
of stall time that will enter the per-cpu records once it does.
The problem is that the path that concludes the state uses a CPU clock
read that is not synchronized against aggregators; the clock is read
outside of the seqlock protection. This allows aggregators to race and
snoop a stall with a longer duration than will actually be recorded.
With the recorded stall time being less than the last snapshot
remembered by the aggregator, a subsequent sample will underflow and
observe a bogus delta value, resulting in an erratic jump in pressure.
Fix this by moving the clock read of the state change into the seqlock
protection. This ensures no aggregation can snoop live stalls past the
time that's recorded when the state concludes.

The current code loops over the psi_states only to call a helper which
then resolves back to the action needed for each state using a switch
statement. That is effectively creating a double indirection of a kind
which, given how all the states need to be explicitly listed and handled
anyway, we can simply remove. Both the for loop and the switch statement
that is.
The benefit is both in the code size and CPU time spent in this function.
YMMV but on my Steam Deck, while in a game, the patch makes the CPU usage
go from ~2.4% down to ~1.2%. Text size at the same time went from 0x323 to
0x2c1.

It was reported that in moving to 6.1, a larger then 10%
regression was seen in the performance of
clock_gettime(CLOCK_THREAD_CPUTIME_ID,...).
Using a simple reproducer, I found:
5.10:
100000000 calls in 24345994193 ns => 243.460 ns per call
100000000 calls in 24288172050 ns => 242.882 ns per call
100000000 calls in 24289135225 ns => 242.891 ns per call
6.1:
100000000 calls in 28248646742 ns => 282.486 ns per call
100000000 calls in 28227055067 ns => 282.271 ns per call
100000000 calls in 28177471287 ns => 281.775 ns per call
The cause of this was finally narrowed down to the addition of
psi_account_irqtime() in update_rq_clock_task(), in commit
52b1364ba0 ("sched/psi: Add PSI_IRQ to track IRQ/SOFTIRQ
pressure").
In my initial attempt to resolve this, I leaned towards moving
all accounting work out of the clock_gettime() call path, but it
wasn't very pretty, so it will have to wait for a later deeper
rework. Instead, Peter shared this approach:
Rework psi_account_irqtime() to use its own psi_irq_time base
for accounting, and move it out of the hotpath, calling it
instead from sched_tick() and __schedule().
In testing this, we found the importance of ensuring
psi_account_irqtime() is run under the rq_lock, which Johannes
Weiner helpfully explained, so also add some lockdep annotations
to make that requirement clear.
With this change the performance is back in-line with 5.10:
6.1+fix:
100000000 calls in 24297324597 ns => 242.973 ns per call
100000000 calls in 24318869234 ns => 243.189 ns per call

The 'update_total' parameter of update_triggers() is always true after the
previous commit:
80cc1d1d5e ("sched/psi: Avoid updating PSI triggers and ->rtpoll_total when there are no state changes")
If the 'changed_states & group->rtpoll_states' condition is true,
'new_stall' in update_triggers() will be true, and then 'update_total'
should also be true.
So update_total is redundant - remove it.

Update_triggers() always returns now + group->rtpoll_min_period, and the
return value is only used by psi_rtpoll_work(), so change update_triggers()
to a void function, let group->rtpoll_next_update = now +
group->rtpoll_min_period directly.
This will avoid unnecessary function return value passing & simplifies
the function.

Destroying psi trigger in cgroup_file_release causes UAF issues when
a cgroup is removed from under a polling process. This is happening
because cgroup removal causes a call to cgroup_file_release while the
actual file is still alive. Destroying the trigger at this point would
also destroy its waitqueue head and if there is still a polling process
on that file accessing the waitqueue, it will step on the freed pointer:
do_select
vfs_poll
do_rmdir
cgroup_rmdir
kernfs_drain_open_files
cgroup_file_release
cgroup_pressure_release
psi_trigger_destroy
wake_up_pollfree(&t->event_wait)
// vfs_poll is unblocked
synchronize_rcu
kfree(t)
poll_freewait -> UAF access to the trigger's waitqueue head
Patch [1] fixed this issue for epoll() case using wake_up_pollfree(),
however the same issue exists for synchronous poll() case.
The root cause of this issue is that the lifecycles of the psi trigger's
waitqueue and of the file associated with the trigger are different. Fix
this by using kernfs_generic_poll function when polling on cgroup-specific
psi triggers. It internally uses kernfs_open_node->poll waitqueue head
with its lifecycle tied to the file's lifecycle. This also renders the
fix in [1] obsolete, so revert it.

Psi_group's poll_min_period is determined by the minimum window size of
psi_trigger when creating new triggers. While destroying a psi_trigger,
there is no need to reset poll_min_period if the psi_trigger being
destroyed did not have the minimum window size, since in this condition
poll_min_period will remain the same as before.

Current 500ms min window size for psi triggers limits polling interval
to 50ms to prevent polling threads from using too much cpu bandwidth by
polling too frequently. However the number of cgroups with triggers is
unlimited, so this protection can be defeated by creating multiple
cgroups with psi triggers (triggers in each cgroup are served by a single
"psimon" kernel thread).
Instead of limiting min polling period, which also limits the latency of
psi events, it's better to limit psi trigger creation to authorized users
only, like we do for system-wide psi triggers (/proc/pressure/* files can
be written only by processes with CAP_SYS_RESOURCE capability). This also
makes access rules for cgroup psi files consistent with system-wide ones.
Add a CAP_SYS_RESOURCE capability check for cgroup psi file writers and
remove the psi window min size limitation.

PSI offers 2 mechanisms to get information about a specific resource
pressure. One is reading from /proc/pressure/<resource>, which gives
average pressures aggregated every 2s. The other is creating a pollable
fd for a specific resource and cgroup.
The trigger creation requires CAP_SYS_RESOURCE, and gives the
possibility to pick specific time window and threshold, spawing an RT
thread to aggregate the data.
Systemd would like to provide containers the option to monitor pressure
on their own cgroup and sub-cgroups. For example, if systemd launches a
container that itself then launches services, the container should have
the ability to poll() for pressure in individual services. But neither
the container nor the services are privileged.
This patch implements a mechanism to allow unprivileged users to create
pressure triggers. The difference with privileged triggers creation is
that unprivileged ones must have a time window that's a multiple of 2s.
This is so that we can avoid unrestricted spawning of rt threads, and
use instead the same aggregation mechanism done for the averages, which
runs independently of any triggers.
