cgroup_freezer: cgroup_freezing: Check if not frozen

__thaw_task() was recently updated to warn if the task being thawed was
part of a freezer cgroup that is still currently freezing:

void __thaw_task(struct task_struct *p)
{
...
if (WARN_ON_ONCE(freezing(p)))
goto unlock;

This has exposed a bug in cgroup1 freezing where when CGROUP_FROZEN is
asserted, the CGROUP_FREEZING bits are not also cleared at the same
time. Meaning, when a cgroup is marked FROZEN it continues to be marked
FREEZING as well. This causes the WARNING to trigger, because
cgroup_freezing() thinks the cgroup is still freezing.

There are two ways to fix this:

1. Whenever FROZEN is set, clear FREEZING for the cgroup and all
children cgroups.
2. Update cgroup_freezing() to also verify that FROZEN is not set.

This patch implements option (2), since it's smaller and more
straightforward.

cgroup,freezer: hold cpu_hotplug_lock before freezer_mutex in freezer_css_{online,offline}()

syzbot is again reporting circular locking dependency between
cpu_hotplug_lock and freezer_mutex. Do like what we did with
commit 57dcd64c7e036299 ("cgroup,freezer: hold cpu_hotplug_lock

cgroup,freezer: hold cpu_hotplug_lock before freezer_mutex

syzbot is reporting circular locking dependency between cpu_hotplug_lock
and freezer_mutex, for commit f5d39b020809 ("freezer,sched: Rewrite core
freezer logic") replaced atomic_inc() in freezer_apply_state() with
static_branch_inc() which holds cpu_hotplug_lock.

cpu_hotplug_lock => cgroup_threadgroup_rwsem => freezer_mutex

cgroup_file_write() {
cgroup_procs_write() {
__cgroup_procs_write() {
cgroup_procs_write_start() {
cgroup_attach_lock() {
cpus_read_lock() {
percpu_down_read(&cpu_hotplug_lock);
}
percpu_down_write(&cgroup_threadgroup_rwsem);
}
}
cgroup_attach_task() {
cgroup_migrate() {
cgroup_migrate_execute() {
freezer_attach() {
mutex_lock(&freezer_mutex);
(...snipped...)
}
}
}
}
(...snipped...)
}
}
}

freezer_mutex => cpu_hotplug_lock

cgroup_file_write() {
freezer_write() {
freezer_change_state() {
mutex_lock(&freezer_mutex);
freezer_apply_state() {
static_branch_inc(&freezer_active) {
static_key_slow_inc() {
cpus_read_lock();
static_key_slow_inc_cpuslocked();
cpus_read_unlock();
}
}
}
mutex_unlock(&freezer_mutex);
}
}
}

Swap locking order by moving cpus_read_lock() in freezer_apply_state()
to before mutex_lock(&freezer_mutex) in freezer_change_state().

freezer,sched: Rewrite core freezer logic

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.

cgroup: rename freezer.c into legacy_freezer.c

Freezer.c will contain an implementation of cgroup v2 freezer,
so let's rename the v1 freezer to avoid naming conflicts.
