As of commit
c6e7bd7afaeb ("sched/core: Optimize ttwu() spinning on p->on_cpu")
the following sequence becomes possible:
p->__state = TASK_INTERRUPTIBLE;
__schedule()
deactivate_task(p);
ttwu()
READ !p->on_rq
p->__state=TASK_WAKING
trace_sched_switch()
__trace_sched_switch_state()
task_state_index()
return 0;
TASK_WAKING isn't in TASK_REPORT, so the task appears as TASK_RUNNING in
the trace event.
Prevent this by pushing the value read from __schedule() down the trace
event.

sched/tracing: Don't re-read p->state when emitting sched_switch event
As of commit
c6e7bd7afaeb ("sched/core: Optimize ttwu() spinning on p->on_cpu")
the following sequence becomes possible:
p->__state = TASK_INTERRUPTIBLE;
__schedule()
deactivate_task(p);
ttwu()
READ !p->on_rq
p->__state=TASK_WAKING
trace_sched_switch()
__trace_sched_switch_state()
task_state_index()
return 0;
TASK_WAKING isn't in TASK_REPORT, so the task appears as TASK_RUNNING in
the trace event.
Prevent this by pushing the value read from __schedule() down the trace
event.

So I wasn't sure if that would be considered a "bug", but folks are asking
for this to be backported; do we want to slap
Fixes: c6e7bd7afaeb ("sched/core: Optimize ttwu() spinning on p->on_cpu")
to it?

What commit does this fix in Linus's tree?
Once it hits Linus's tree, let [email protected] know what the git

Any objection to picking this for stable? I'm interested in this one for some
Android users but prefer if it can be taken by stable rather than backport it
individually.
I think it makes sense to pick the next one in the series too.
Thanks!

It should be this one: c6e7bd7afaeb ("sched/core: Optimize ttwu() spinning on p->on_cpu")
Not sure about the 2nd patch, but I can try to figure it out.

Sure. My bad if I rushed the request. I just wanted to know whether it's okay
for this to go into stable. If no one shouts, I'll ping once it lands in
Linus'.
Thanks!

Should this be okay to be picked up by stable now? I can see AUTOSEL has picked
it up for v5.15+, but it impacts v5.10 too.

What tools is this?

If I queue it up again, will the tools keep breaking?

Thanks for the info, sysdig does do some pretty intrusive things but I
thought it had moved over to being almost all bpf code.
Anyway, I'll wait for Qais to submit a properly backported and tested
set of patches before picking this up again due to all of the problems
I've had with this patch.

It does not apply to 5.10 at all, how did you test this?
{sigh}
Again, if you want this applied to any stable trees, please test that it
works and send the properly backported patches.

So it turns out the lockup is indeed the fault of the tool, which contains multiple
kernel-version dependent tracepoint definitions and now fails with this
patch.
Greg, please re-enqueue this patch where necessary (5.10, 5.15+)

However, since then further investigation (still in progress) has shown that this
may have been the fault of the tool in question, so if you can verify that tracing
sched still works for you with this patch in 5.15.x then by all means
let's merge it.

commit: fa2c3254d7cfff5f7a916ab928a562d1165f17bb
subject: sched/tracing: Don't re-read p->state when emitting sched_switch event
This patch has an impact on Android 5.10 users who experience tooling breakage.
Is it possible to include in 5.10 LTS please?
It was already picked up for 5.15+ by AUTOSEL and only 5.10 is missing.
Thanks

sysdig - which uses a helper kernel module which accesses tracepoints, but of course
(as I just found) with copypasta'd TP definitions, which broke with this patch due to
the additional parameter in the function signature. It's been prone to breakage forever
because of a lack of a stable kernel ABI.
Took me a while to find/figure out, but IMHO better safe than sorry. We've had
autoselected scheduler patches before that looked fine but really were not.

Yes, but that's their problem with an out-of-tree module; a few more #ifdefs
are not going to make a big difference.

Sorry. I'm picking up pieces after a colleague left and was under the
impression that 5.10 Android users already use as-is, but due to GKI just need
it formally in stable. Few things got lost in translation, I am very sorry!
Let me sort all of this out properly including the testing part for 5.15 too.
Thanks!
