Peter Newman d01c655747 x86/resctrl: Fix task CLOSID/RMID update race 
commit fe1f071438 upstream.

When the user moves a running task to a new rdtgroup using the task's
file interface or by deleting its rdtgroup, the resulting change in
CLOSID/RMID must be immediately propagated to the PQR_ASSOC MSR on the
task(s) CPUs.

x86 allows reordering loads with prior stores, so if the task starts
running between a task_curr() check that the CPU hoisted before the
stores in the CLOSID/RMID update then it can start running with the old
CLOSID/RMID until it is switched again because __rdtgroup_move_task()
failed to determine that it needs to be interrupted to obtain the new
CLOSID/RMID.

Refer to the diagram below:

CPU 0                                   CPU 1
-----                                   -----
__rdtgroup_move_task():
  curr <- t1->cpu->rq->curr
                                        __schedule():
                                          rq->curr <- t1
                                        resctrl_sched_in():
                                          t1->{closid,rmid} -> {1,1}
  t1->{closid,rmid} <- {2,2}
  if (curr == t1) // false
   IPI(t1->cpu)

A similar race impacts rdt_move_group_tasks(), which updates tasks in a
deleted rdtgroup.

In both cases, use smp_mb() to order the task_struct::{closid,rmid}
stores before the loads in task_curr().  In particular, in the
rdt_move_group_tasks() case, simply execute an smp_mb() on every
iteration with a matching task.

It is possible to use a single smp_mb() in rdt_move_group_tasks(), but
this would require two passes and a means of remembering which
task_structs were updated in the first loop. However, benchmarking
results below showed too little performance impact in the simple
approach to justify implementing the two-pass approach.

Times below were collected using `perf stat` to measure the time to
remove a group containing a 1600-task, parallel workload.

CPU: Intel(R) Xeon(R) Platinum P-8136 CPU @ 2.00GHz (112 threads)

  # mkdir /sys/fs/resctrl/test
  # echo $$ > /sys/fs/resctrl/test/tasks
  # perf bench sched messaging -g 40 -l 100000

task-clock time ranges collected using:

  # perf stat rmdir /sys/fs/resctrl/test

Baseline:                     1.54 - 1.60 ms
smp_mb() every matching task: 1.57 - 1.67 ms

README 

Linux kernel
============

There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.

In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``.  The formatted documentation can also be read online at:

    https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/

There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.

Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
