Introducing macro helpers u64_u32_{store,load}() to factorize lockless accesses to u64 variables for 32-bits architectures. Users are for now cfs_rq.min_vruntime and sched_avg.last_update_time. To accommodate the later where the copy lies outside of the structure (cfs_rq.last_udpate_time_copy instead of sched_avg.last_update_time_copy), use the _copy() version of those helpers. Those new helpers encapsulate smp_rmb() and smp_wmb() synchronization and therefore, have a small penalty for 32-bits machines in set_task_rq_fair() and init_cfs_rq().

[Problem Statement] select_idle_cpu() might spend too much time searching for an idle CPU, when the system is overloaded. The following histogram is the time spent in select_idle_cpu(), when running 224 instances of netperf on a system with 112 CPUs per LLC domain: @usecs: [0] 533 | | [1] 5495 | | [2, 4) 12008 | | [4, 8) 239252 | | [8, 16) 4041924 |@@@@@@@@@@@@@@ | [16, 32) 12357398 |@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@ | [32, 64) 14820255 |@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@| [64, 128) 13047682 |@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@ | [128, 256) 8235013 |@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@ | [256, 512) 4507667 |@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@ | [512, 1K) 2600472 |@@@@@@@@@ | [1K, 2K) 927912 |@@@ | [2K, 4K) 218720 | | [4K, 8K) 98161 | | [8K, 16K) 37722 | | [16K, 32K) 6715 | | [32K, 64K) 477 | | [64K, 128K) 7 | | netperf latency usecs: ======= case load Lat_99th std% TCP_RR thread-224 257.39 ( 0.21) 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.

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 addca285 ("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% 175% 200% of CPU number respectively. Hackbench and schbench were launched by 1, 2 ,4, 8 groups.

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.

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

Wakelist can help avoid cache bouncing and offload the overhead of waker cpu. So far, using wakelist within the same llc only happens on WF_ON_CPU, and this limitation could be removed to further improve wakeup performance. The commit 518cd623 ("sched: Only queue remote wakeups when crossing cache boundaries") disabled queuing tasks on wakelist when the cpus share llc. This is because, at that time, the scheduler must send IPIs to do ttwu_queue_wakelist. Nowadays, ttwu_queue_wakelist also supports TIF_POLLING, so this is not a problem now when the wakee cpu is in idle polling. Benefits: Queuing the task on idle cpu can help improving performance on waker cpu and utilization on wakee cpu, and further improve locality because the wakee cpu can handle its own rq. This patch helps improving rt on our real java workloads where wakeup happens frequently. Consider the normal condition (CPU0 and CPU1 share same llc) Before this patch: CPU0 CPU1 select_task_rq() idle rq_lock(CPU1->rq) enqueue_task(CPU1->rq) notify CPU1 (by sending IPI or CPU1 polling) resched() After this patch: CPU0 CPU1 select_task_rq() idle add to wakelist of CPU1 notify CPU1 (by sending IPI or CPU1 polling) rq_lock(CPU1->rq) enqueue_task(CPU1->rq) resched() We see CPU0 can finish its work earlier. It only needs to put task to wakelist and return. While CPU1 is idle, so let itself handle its own runqueue data. This patch brings no difference about IPI. This patch only takes effect when the wakee cpu is: 1) idle polling 2) idle not polling For 1), there will be no IPI with or without this patch. For 2), there will always be an IPI before or after this patch. Before this patch: waker cpu will enqueue task and check preempt. Since "idle" will be sure to be preempted, waker cpu must send a resched IPI. After this patch: waker cpu will put the task to the wakelist of wakee cpu, and send an IPI.

The commit 2ebb1771 ("sched/core: Offload wakee task activation if it the wakee is descheduling") checked rq->nr_running <= 1 to avoid task stacking when WF_ON_CPU. Per the ordering of writes to p->on_rq and p->on_cpu, observing p->on_cpu (WF_ON_CPU) in ttwu_queue_cond() implies !p->on_rq, IOW p has gone through the deactivate_task() in __schedule(), thus p has been accounted out of rq->nr_running. As such, the task being the only runnable task on the rq implies reading rq->nr_running == 0 at that point. The benchmark result is in [1].

While doing newidle load balancing, it is possible for new tasks to arrive, such as with pending wakeups. newidle_balance() already accounts for this by exiting the sched_domain load_balance() iteration if it detects these cases. This is very important for minimizing wakeup latency. However, if we are already in load_balance(), we may stay there for a while before returning back to newidle_balance(). This is most exacerbated if we enter a 'goto redo' loop in the LBF_ALL_PINNED case. A very straightforward workaround to this is to adjust should_we_balance() to bail out if we're doing a CPU_NEWLY_IDLE balance and new tasks are detected. This was tested with the following reproduction: - two threads that take turns sleeping and waking each other up are affined to two cores - a large number of threads with 100% utilization are pinned to all other cores Without this patch, wakeup latency was ~120us for the pair of threads, almost entirely spent in load_balance(). With this patch, wakeup latency is ~6us. Signed-off-by:

sysctl_sched_dl_period_max and sysctl_sched_dl_period_min are unsigned integer, but proc_dointvec() wouldn't return error even if we set a negative number. Use proc_douintvec_minmax() instead of proc_dointvec(). Add extra1 for sysctl_sched_dl_period_max and extra2 for sysctl_sched_dl_period_min. It's just an optimization for match data and proc_handler in struct ctl_table. The 'if (period < min || period > max)' in __checkparam_dl() will work fine even if there hasn't this patch.

We notice the rq leaf_cfs_rq_list has two problems when do bugfix backports and some test profiling. 1. cfs_rqs under throttled subtree could be added to the list, and make their fully decayed ancestors on the list, even though not needed. 2. #1 also make the leaf_cfs_rq_list management complex and error prone, this is the list of related bugfix so far: commit 31bc6aea ("sched/fair: Optimize update_blocked_averages()") commit fe61468b ("sched/fair: Fix enqueue_task_fair warning") commit b34cb07d ("sched/fair: Fix enqueue_task_fair() warning some more") commit 39f23ce0 ("sched/fair: Fix unthrottle_cfs_rq() for leaf_cfs_rq list") commit 0258bdfa ("sched/fair: Fix unfairness caused by missing load decay") commit a7b359fc ("sched/fair: Correctly insert cfs_rq's to list on unthrottle") commit fdaba61e ("sched/fair: Ensure that the CFS parent is added after unthrottling") commit 2630cde2 ("sched/fair: Add ancestors of unthrottled undecayed cfs_rq") commit 31bc6aea ("sched/fair: Optimize update_blocked_averages()") delete every cfs_rq under throttled subtree from rq->leaf_cfs_rq_list, and delete the throttled_hierarchy() test in update_blocked_averages(), which optimized update_blocked_averages(). But those later bugfix add cfs_rqs under throttled subtree back to rq->leaf_cfs_rq_list again, with their fully decayed ancestors, for the integrity of rq->leaf_cfs_rq_list. This patch takes another method, skip all cfs_rqs under throttled hierarchy when list_add_leaf_cfs_rq(), to completely make cfs_rqs under throttled subtree off the leaf_cfs_rq_list. So we don't need to consider throttled related things in enqueue_entity(), unthrottle_cfs_rq() and enqueue_task_fair(), which simplify the code a lot. Also optimize update_blocked_averages() since cfs_rqs under throttled hierarchy and their ancestors won't be on the leaf_cfs_rq_list. Signed-off-by:

In the case of systems containing multiple LLCs per socket, like AMD Zen systems, users want to spread bandwidth hungry applications across multiple LLCs. Stream is one such representative workload where the best performance is obtained by limiting one stream thread per LLC. To ensure this, users are known to pin the tasks to a specify a subset of the CPUs consisting of one CPU per LLC while running such bandwidth hungry tasks. Suppose we kickstart a multi-threaded task like stream with 8 threads using taskset or numactl to run on a subset of CPUs on a 2 socket Zen3 server where each socket contains 128 CPUs (0-63,128-191 in one socket, 64-127,192-255 in another socket) Eg: numactl -C 0,16,32,48,64,80,96,112 ./stream8 Here each CPU in the list is from a different LLC and 4 of those LLCs are on one socket, while the other 4 are on another socket. Ideally we would prefer that each stream thread runs on a different CPU from the allowed list of CPUs. However, the current heuristics in find_idlest_group() do not allow this during the initial placement. Suppose the first socket (0-63,128-191) is our local group from which we are kickstarting the stream tasks. The first four stream threads will be placed in this socket. When it comes to placing the 5th thread, all the allowed CPUs are from the local group (0,16,32,48) would have been taken. However, the current scheduler code simply checks if the number of tasks in the local group is fewer than the allowed numa-imbalance threshold. This threshold was previously 25% of the NUMA domain span (in this case threshold = 32) but after the v6 of Mel's patchset "Adjust NUMA imbalance for multiple LLCs", got merged in sched-tip, Commit: e496132e ("sched/fair: Adjust the allowed NUMA imbalance when SD_NUMA spans multiple LLCs") it is now equal to number of LLCs in the NUMA domain, for processors with multiple LLCs. (in this case threshold = 8). For this example, the number of tasks will always be within threshold and thus all the 8 stream threads will be woken up on the first socket thereby resulting in sub-optimal performance. The following sched_wakeup_new tracepoint output shows the initial placement of tasks in the current tip/sched/core on the Zen3 machine: stream-5313 [016] d..2. 627.005036: sched_wakeup_new: comm=stream pid=5315 prio=120 target_cpu=032 stream-5313 [016] d..2. 627.005086: sched_wakeup_new: comm=stream pid=5316 prio=120 target_cpu=048 stream-5313 [016] d..2. 627.005141: sched_wakeup_new: comm=stream pid=5317 prio=120 target_cpu=000 stream-5313 [016] d..2. 627.005183: sched_wakeup_new: comm=stream pid=5318 prio=120 target_cpu=016 stream-5313 [016] d..2. 627.005218: sched_wakeup_new: comm=stream pid=5319 prio=120 target_cpu=016 stream-5313 [016] d..2. 627.005256: sched_wakeup_new: comm=stream pid=5320 prio=120 target_cpu=016 stream-5313 [016] d..2. 627.005295: sched_wakeup_new: comm=stream pid=5321 prio=120 target_cpu=016 Once the first four threads are distributed among the allowed CPUs of socket one, the rest of the treads start piling on these same CPUs when clearly there are CPUs on the second socket that can be used. Following the initial pile up on a small number of CPUs, though the load-balancer eventually kicks in, it takes a while to get to {4}{4} and even {4}{4} isn't stable as we observe a bunch of ping ponging between {4}{4} to {5}{3} and back before a stable state is reached much later (1 Stream thread per allowed CPU) and no more migration is required. We can detect this piling and avoid it by checking if the number of allowed CPUs in the local group are fewer than the number of tasks running in the local group and use this information to spread the 5th task out into the next socket (after all, the goal in this slowpath is to find the idlest group and the idlest CPU during the initial placement!). The following sched_wakeup_new tracepoint output shows the initial placement of tasks after adding this fix on the Zen3 machine: stream-4485 [016] d..2. 230.784046: sched_wakeup_new: comm=stream pid=4487 prio=120 target_cpu=032 stream-4485 [016] d..2. 230.784123: sched_wakeup_new: comm=stream pid=4488 prio=120 target_cpu=048 stream-4485 [016] d..2. 230.784167: sched_wakeup_new: comm=stream pid=4489 prio=120 target_cpu=000 stream-4485 [016] d..2. 230.784222: sched_wakeup_new: comm=stream pid=4490 prio=120 target_cpu=112 stream-4485 [016] d..2. 230.784271: sched_wakeup_new: comm=stream pid=4491 prio=120 target_cpu=096 stream-4485 [016] d..2. 230.784322: sched_wakeup_new: comm=stream pid=4492 prio=120 target_cpu=080 stream-4485 [016] d..2. 230.784368: sched_wakeup_new: comm=stream pid=4493 prio=120 target_cpu=064 We see that threads are using all of the allowed CPUs and there is no pileup. No output is generated for tracepoint sched_migrate_task with this patch due to a perfect initial placement which removes the need for balancing later on - both across NUMA boundaries and within NUMA boundaries for stream.

For a single LLC per node, a NUMA imbalance is allowed up until 25% of CPUs sharing a node could be active. One intent of the cut-off is to avoid an imbalance of memory channels but there is no topological information based on active memory channels. Furthermore, there can be differences between nodes depending on the number of populated DIMMs. A cut-off of 25% was arbitrary but generally worked. It does have a severe corner cases though when an parallel workload is using 25% of all available CPUs over-saturates memory channels. This can happen due to the initial forking of tasks that get pulled more to one node after early wakeups (e.g. a barrier synchronisation) that is not quickly corrected by the load balancer. The LB may fail to act quickly as the parallel tasks are considered to be poor migrate candidates due to locality or cache hotness. On a range of modern Intel CPUs, 12.5% appears to be a better cut-off assuming all memory channels are populated and is used as the new cut-off point. A minimum of 1 is specified to allow a communicating pair to remain local even for CPUs with low numbers of cores. For modern AMDs, there are multiple LLCs and are not affected. Signed-off-by:

The imbalance limitations are applied inconsistently at fork time and at runtime. At fork, a new task can remain local until there are too many running tasks even if the degree of imbalance is larger than NUMA_IMBALANCE_MIN which is different to runtime. Secondly, the imbalance figure used during load balancing is different to the one used at NUMA placement. Load balancing uses the number of tasks that must move to restore imbalance where as NUMA balancing uses the total imbalance. In combination, it is possible for a parallel workload that uses a small number of CPUs without applying scheduler policies to have very variable run-to-run performance.

If a destination node has spare capacity but there is an imbalance then two tasks are selected for swapping. If the tasks have no numa group or are within the same NUMA group, it's simply shuffling tasks around without having any impact on the compute imbalance. Instead, it's just punishing one task to help another. Signed-off-by:

On clone, numa_migrate_retry is inherited from the parent which means that the first NUMA placement of a task is non-deterministic. This affects when load balancing recognises numa tasks and whether to migrate "regular", "remote" or "all" tasks between NUMA scheduler domains. Signed-off-by:

Pull random number generator fixes from Jason Donenfeld: - A fix for a 5.19 regression for a case in which early device tree initializes the RNG, which flips a static branch. On most plaforms, jump labels aren't initialized until much later, so this caused splats. On a few mailing list threads, we cooked up easy fixes for arm64, arm32, and risc-v. But then things looked slightly more involved for xtensa, powerpc, arc, and mips. And at that point, when we're patching 7 architectures in a place before the console is even available, it seems like the cost/risk just wasn't worth it. So random.c works around it now by checking the already exported `static_key_initialized` boolean, as though somebody already ran into this issue in the past. I'm not super jazzed about that; it'd be prettier to not have to complicate downstream code. But I suppose it's practical. - A few small code nits and adding a missing __init annotation. - A change to the default config values to use the cpu and bootloader's seeds for initializing the RNG earlier. This brings them into line with what all the distros do (Fedora/RHEL, Debian, Ubuntu, Gentoo, Arch, NixOS, Alpine, SUSE, and Void... at least), and moreover will now give us test coverage in various test beds that might have caught the above device tree bug earlier. - A change to WireGuard CI's configuration to increase test coverage around the RNG. - A documentation comment fix to unrelated maintainerless CRC code that I was asked to take, I guess because it has to do with polynomials (which the RNG thankfully no longer uses). * tag 'random-5.19-rc2-for-linus' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/crng/random: wireguard: selftests: use maximum cpu features and allow rng seeding random: remove rng_has_arch_random() random: credit cpu and bootloader seeds by default random: do not use jump labels before they are initialized random: account for arch randomness in bits random: mark bootloader randomness code as __init random: avoid checking crng_ready() twice in random_init() crc-itu-t: fix typo in CRC ITU-T polynomial comment

WMI queries fail on some devices where the ACPI method HWMC unconditionally attempts to create Fields beyond the buffer if the buffer is too small, this breaks essential features such as power profiles: CreateByteField (Arg1, 0x10, D008) CreateByteField (Arg1, 0x11, D009) CreateByteField (Arg1, 0x12, D010) CreateDWordField (Arg1, 0x10, D032) CreateField (Arg1, 0x80, 0x0400, D128) In cases where args->data had zero length, ACPI BIOS Error (bug): AE_AML_BUFFER_LIMIT, Field [D008] at bit offset/length 128/8 exceeds size of target Buffer (128 bits) (20211217/dsopcode-198) was obtained. ACPI BIOS Error (bug): AE_AML_BUFFER_LIMIT, Field [D009] at bit offset/length 136/8 exceeds size of target Buffer (136bits) (20211217/dsopcode-198) The original code created a buffer size of 128 bytes regardless if the WMI call required a smaller buffer or not. This particular behavior occurs in older BIOS and reproduced in OMEN laptops. Newer BIOS handles buffer sizes properly and meets the latest specification requirements. This is the reason why testing with a dynamically allocated buffer did not uncover any failures with the test systems at hand. This patch was tested on several OMEN, Elite, and Zbooks. It was confirmed the patch resolves HPWMI_FAN GET/SET calls in an OMEN Laptop 15-ek0xxx. No problems were reported when testing on several Elite and Zbooks notebooks.

Commit 6c776766 ("iov_iter: Fix iter_xarray_get_pages{,_alloc}()") introduced a problem on some 32-bit architectures (at least arm, xtensa, csky,sparc and mips), that have a 'size_t' that is 'unsigned int'. The reason is that we now do min(nr * PAGE_SIZE - offset, maxsize); where 'nr' and 'offset' and both 'unsigned int', and PAGE_SIZE is 'unsigned long'. As a result, the normal C type rules means that the first argument to 'min()' ends up being 'unsigned long'. In contrast, 'maxsize' is of type 'size_t'. Now, 'size_t' and 'unsigned long' are always the same physical type in the kernel, so you'd think this doesn't matter, and from an actual arithmetic standpoint it doesn't. But on 32-bit architectures 'size_t' is commonly 'unsigned int', even if it could also be 'unsigned long'. In that situation, both are unsigned 32-bit types, but they are not the *same* type. And as a result 'min()' will complain about the distinct types (ignore the "pointer types" part of the error message: that's an artifact of the way we have made 'min()' check types for being the same): lib/iov_iter.c: In function 'iter_xarray_get_pages': include/linux/minmax.h:20:35: error: comparison of distinct pointer types lacks a cast [-Werror] 20 | (!!(sizeof((typeof(x) *)1 == (typeof(y) *)1))) | ^~ lib/iov_iter.c:1464:16: note: in expansion of macro 'min' 1464 | return min(nr * PAGE_SIZE - offset, maxsize); | ^~~ This was not visible on 64-bit architectures (where we always define 'size_t' to be 'unsigned long'). Force these cases to use 'min_t(size_t, x, y)' to make the type explicit and avoid the issue. [ Nit-picky note: technically 'size_t' doesn't have to match 'unsigned long' arithmetically. We've certainly historically seen environments with 16-bit address spaces and 32-bit 'unsigned long'. Similarly, even in 64-bit modern environments, 'size_t' could be its own type distinct from 'unsigned long', even if it were arithmetically identical. So the above type commentary is only really descriptive of the kernel environment, not some kind of universal truth for the kinds of wild and crazy situations that are allowed by the C standard ] Reported-by:

By forcing the maximum CPU that QEMU has available, we expose additional capabilities, such as the RNDR instruction, which increases test coverage. This then allows the CI to skip the fake seeding step in some cases. Also enable STRICT_KERNEL_RWX to catch issues related to early jump labels when the RNG is initialized at boot.

Currently, the secondary channels of a multichannel session also get hostname populated based on the info in primary channel. However, this will end up with a wrong resolution of hostname to IP address during reconnect. This change fixes this by not populating hostname info for all secondary channels.
