Currently, if a grace period ends just as the stall-warning timeout
fires, an empty stall warning will be printed. This is not helpful,
so this commit avoids these useless warnings by rechecking completion
after awakening in synchronize_sched_expedited_wait().

Currently, the piggybacked-work checks carried out by sync_exp_work_done()
atomically increment a small set of variables (the ->expedited_workdone0,
->expedited_workdone1, ->expedited_workdone2, ->expedited_workdone3
fields in the rcu_state structure), which will form a memory-contention
bottleneck given a sufficiently large number of CPUs concurrently invoking
either synchronize_rcu_expedited() or synchronize_sched_expedited().
This commit therefore moves these for fields to the per-CPU rcu_data
structure, eliminating the memory contention. The show_rcuexp() function
also changes to sum up each field in the rcu_data structures.

The memory barrier in rcu_seq_snap() is needed only for grace periods,

Analogy with the ->qsmaskinitnext field might lead one to believe that
->expmaskinitnext tracks online CPUs. This belief is incorrect: Any CPU
that has ever been online will have its bit set in the ->expmaskinitnext
field. This commit therefore adds a comment to make this clear, at
least to people who read comments.

If there is only one CPU, then invoking synchronize_sched_expedited()
is by definition a grace period. This commit checks for this condition
and does a short-circuit return in that case.

In an overcommitted guest where some vCPUs have to be halted to make
forward progress in other areas, it is highly likely that a vCPU later
in the spinlock queue will be spinning while the ones earlier in the
queue would have been halted. The spinning in the later vCPUs is then
just a waste of precious CPU cycles because they are not going to
get the lock soon as the earlier ones have to be woken up and take
their turn to get the lock.
This patch implements an adaptive spinning mechanism where the vCPU
will call pv_wait() if the previous vCPU is not running.
Linux kernel builds were run in KVM guest on an 8-socket, 4
cores/socket Westmere-EX system and a 4-socket, 8 cores/socket
Haswell-EX system. Both systems are configured to have 32 physical
CPUs. The kernel build times before and after the patch were:

After patch 3m03.0s 4m37.5s 1m43.0s 2m47.2s
For 32 vCPUs, this patch doesn't cause any noticeable change in
performance. For 48 vCPUs (over-committed), there is about 8%
performance improvement.

This patch allows one attempt for the lock waiter to steal the lock
when entering the PV slowpath. To prevent lock starvation, the pending
bit will be set by the queue head vCPU when it is in the active lock
spinning loop to disable any lock stealing attempt. This helps to
reduce the performance penalty caused by lock waiter preemption while
not having much of the downsides of a real unfair lock.
The pv_wait_head() function was renamed as pv_wait_head_or_lock()
as it was modified to acquire the lock before returning. This is
necessary because of possible lock stealing attempts from other tasks.
Linux kernel builds were run in KVM guest on an 8-socket, 4
cores/socket Westmere-EX system and a 4-socket, 8 cores/socket
Haswell-EX system. Both systems are configured to have 32 physical

This patch enables the accumulation of kicking and waiting related
PV qspinlock statistics when the new QUEUED_LOCK_STAT configuration
option is selected. It also enables the collection of data which
enable us to calculate the kicking and wakeup latencies which have
a heavy dependency on the CPUs being used.
The statistical counters are per-cpu variables to minimize the
performance overhead in their updates. These counters are exported
via the debugfs filesystem under the qlockstat directory. When the
corresponding debugfs files are read, summation and computing of the
required data are then performed.
The measured latencies for different CPUs are:
CPU Wakeup Kicking
--- ------ -------
Haswell-EX 63.6us 7.4us
Westmere-EX 67.6us 9.3us
The measured latencies varied a bit from run-to-run. The wakeup
latency is much higher than the kicking latency.
A sample of statistical counters after system bootup (with vCPU
overcommit) was:
pv_hash_hops=1.00
pv_kick_unlock=1148
pv_kick_wake=1146
pv_latency_kick=11040
pv_latency_wake=194840
pv_spurious_wakeup=7
pv_wait_again=4
pv_wait_head=23
pv_wait_node=1129

- it documents control dependencies,

/proc/stats shows invalid gtime when the thread is running in guest.
When vtime accounting is not enabled, we cannot get a valid delta.
The delta is calculated with now - tsk->vtime_snap, but tsk->vtime_snap
is only updated when vtime accounting is runtime enabled.
This patch makes task_gtime() just return gtime without computing the
buggy non-existing tickless delta when vtime accounting is not enabled.
Use context_tracking_is_enabled() to check if vtime is accounting on
some cpu, in which case only we need to check the tickless delta. This
way we fix the gtime value regression on machines not running nohz full.
The kernel config contains CONFIG_VIRT_CPU_ACCOUNTING_GEN=y and
CONFIG_NO_HZ_FULL_ALL=n and boot without nohz_full.
I ran and stop a busy loop in VM and see the gtime in host.
Dump the 43rd field which shows the gtime in every second:
# while :; do awk '{print $3" "$43}' /proc/3955/task/4014/stat; sleep 1; done

root_domain::rto_mask allocated through alloc_cpumask_var()
contains garbage data, this may cause problems. For instance,
When doing pull_rt_task(), it may do useless iterations if
rto_mask retains some extra garbage bits. Worse still, this
violates the isolated domain rule for clustered scheduling
using cpuset, because the tasks(with all the cpus allowed)
belongs to one root domain can be pulled away into another
root domain.
The patch cleans the garbage by using zalloc_cpumask_var()
instead of alloc_cpumask_var() for root_domain::rto_mask
allocation, thereby addressing the issues.
Do the same thing for root_domain's other cpumask memembers:
dlo_mask, span, and online.

Because accounting resources for the root cgroup sometimes incurs
measureable overhead for workloads which don't care about cgroup and
often ends up calculating a number which is available elsewhere in a
slightly different form, cgroup is not in the business of providing
system-wide statistics. The pids controller which was introduced
recently was exposing "pids.current" at the root. This patch disable
accounting for root cgroup and removes the file from the root
directory.
While this is a userland visible behavior change, pids has been
available only in one version and was badly broken there, so I don't
think this will be noticeable. If it turns out to be a problem, we
can reinstate it for v1 hierarchies.

Consider the following v2 hierarchy.
P0 (+memory) --- P1 (-memory) --- A
\- B
P0 has memory enabled in its subtree_control while P1 doesn't. If
both A and B contain processes, they would belong to the memory css of
P1. Now if memory is enabled on P1's subtree_control, memory csses
should be created on both A and B and A's processes should be moved to
the former and B's processes the latter. IOW, enabling controllers
can cause atomic migrations into different csses.
The core cgroup migration logic has been updated accordingly but the
controller migration methods haven't and still assume that all tasks
migrate to a single target css; furthermore, the methods were fed the
css in which subtree_control was updated which is the parent of the
target csses. pids controller depends on the migration methods to
move charges and this made the controller attribute charges to the
wrong csses often triggering the following warning by driving a
counter negative.

This patch fixes the bug by removing @css parameter from the three
migration methods, ->can_attach, ->cancel_attach() and ->attach() and
updating cgroup_taskset iteration helpers also return the destination
css in addition to the task being migrated. All controllers are
updated accordingly.
* Controllers which don't care whether there are one or multiple
target csses can be converted trivially. cpu, io, freezer, perf,
netclassid and netprio fall in this category.
* cpuset's current implementation assumes that there's single source
and destination and thus doesn't support v2 hierarchy already. The
only change made by this patchset is how that single destination css
is obtained.
* memory migration path already doesn't do anything on v2. How the
single destination css is obtained is updated and the prep stage of
mem_cgroup_can_attach() is reordered to accomodate the change.
* pids is the only controller which was affected by this bug. It now
correctly handles multi-destination migrations and no longer causes
counter underflow from incorrect accounting.

If one or more tasks get moved into a frozen css, the frozen state is
cleared up from the destination css so that it can be reasserted once
the migrated tasks are frozen. freezer_attach() implements this in
two separate steps - clearing CGROUP_FROZEN on the target css while
processing each task and propagating the clearing upwards after the
task loop is done if necessary.
This patch merges the two steps. Propagation now takes place inside
the task loop. This simplifies the code and prepares it for the fix
of multi-destination migration.

Also add __GFP_NOWARN to kmalloc(value_size | elem_size) to avoid OOM warnings.
Note kmalloc(key_size) is highly unlikely to trigger OOM, since key_size <= 512,
so keep those kmalloc-s as-is.
Large value_size can cause integer overflows in elem_size and map.pages

During own review but also reported by Dmitry's syzkaller [1] it has been
noticed that we trigger a heap out-of-bounds access on eBPF array maps
when updating elements. This happens with each map whose map->value_size
(specified during map creation time) is not multiple of 8 bytes.
In array_map_alloc(), elem_size is round_up(attr->value_size, 8) and
used to align array map slots for faster access. However, in function
array_map_update_elem(), we update the element as ...
memcpy(array->value + array->elem_size * index, value, array->elem_size);
... where we access 'value' out-of-bounds, since it was allocated from
map_update_elem() from syscall side as kmalloc(map->value_size, GFP_USER)
and later on copied through copy_from_user(value, uvalue, map->value_size).
Thus, up to 7 bytes, we can access out-of-bounds.
Same could happen from within an eBPF program, where in worst case we
access beyond an eBPF program's designated stack.
Since 1be7f75d16 ("bpf: enable non-root eBPF programs") didn't hit an
official release yet, it only affects priviledged users.
In case of array_map_lookup_elem(), the verifier prevents eBPF programs
from accessing beyond map->value_size through check_map_access(). Also
from syscall side map_lookup_elem() only copies map->value_size back to
user, so nothing could leak.

But sched_wakeup_new and sched_waking were missed. These two should also be

The first is something that's been there since its creation. If a reader
reads a page out of the ring buffer before there's any events on it, it
can get an out of date timestamp for that event. It may be off by a few
microseconds, more if the first event gets discarded. The fix was to
only update the reader time stamp when it actually sees an event on
the page, instead of just reading the timestamp from the page even if
it has no events on it. That timestamp is still volatile until an event
is present.
The second bug is more recent. Instead of passing around parameters
a descriptor was made and the parameters are passed via a single
descriptor. This simplified the code a bit. But there was one place that
expected the parameter to be passed by value not reference (which a
descriptor now does). And it added to the length of the event, which
may be ignored later, but the length should not have been increased.
The only real problem with this bug is that it may allocate more than
was needed for the event.

moved to the same cgroup by cgroup_post_fork()->css_set_move_task() we can

And since we no longer need to pin this css, we can remove pid_fork().
Note: the patch uses task_css_check(true), perhaps it makes sense to add a

A css_set represents the relationship between a set of tasks and
css's. css_set never pinned the associated css's. This was okay
because tasks used to always disassociate immediately (in RCU sense) -
either a task is moved to a different css_set or exits and never
accesses css_set again.
Unfortunately, afcf6c8b75 ("cgroup: add cgroup_subsys->free() method
and use it to fix pids controller") and patches leading up to it made
a zombie hold onto its css_set and deref the associated css's on its
release. Nothing pins the css's after exit and it might have already
been freed leading to use-after-free.

Fixes: afcf6c8b75 ("cgroup: add cgroup_subsys->free() method and use it to fix pids controller")
Currently, when having map file descriptors pointing to program arrays,
there's still the issue that we unconditionally flush program array
contents via bpf_fd_array_map_clear() in bpf_map_release(). This happens
when such a file descriptor is released and is independent of the map's
refcount.
Having this flush independent of the refcount is for a reason: there
can be arbitrary complex dependency chains among tail calls, also circular
ones (direct or indirect, nesting limit determined during runtime), and
we need to make sure that the map drops all references to eBPF programs
it holds, so that the map's refcount can eventually drop to zero and
initiate its freeing. Btw, a walk of the whole dependency graph would
not be possible for various reasons, one being complexity and another
one inconsistency, i.e. new programs can be added to parts of the graph
at any time, so there's no guaranteed consistent state for the time of
such a walk.
Now, the program array pinning itself works, but the issue is that each
derived file descriptor on close would nevertheless call unconditionally
into bpf_fd_array_map_clear(). Instead, keep track of users and postpone
this flush until the last reference to a user is dropped. As this only
concerns a subset of references (f.e. a prog array could hold a program
that itself has reference on the prog array holding it, etc), we need to
track them separately.
Short analysis on the refcounting: on map creation time usercnt will be
one, so there's no change in behaviour for bpf_map_release(), if unpinned.
If we already fail in map_create(), we are immediately freed, and no
file descriptor has been made public yet. In bpf_obj_pin_user(), we need
to probe for a possible map in bpf_fd_probe_obj() already with a usercnt
reference, so before we drop the reference on the fd with fdput().
Therefore, if actual pinning fails, we need to drop that reference again
in bpf_any_put(), otherwise we keep holding it. When last reference
drops on the inode, the bpf_any_put() in bpf_evict_inode() will take
care of dropping the usercnt again. In the bpf_obj_get_user() case, the
bpf_any_get() will grab a reference on the usercnt, still at a time when
we have the reference on the path. Should we later on fail to grab a new
file descriptor, bpf_any_put() will drop it, otherwise we hold it until
bpf_map_release() time.

Commit fcc742eaad "ring-buffer: Add event descriptor to simplify passing

several variables through parameters. The problem was that one of the
parameters was modified in a function and the code was designed not to have
an effect on that modified parameter. Now that the parameter is a
descriptor and any modifications to it are non-volatile, the size of the
data could be unnecessarily expanded.
Remove the extra space added if a timestamp was added and the event went

Do not update the read stamp after swapping out the reader page from the
write buffer. If the reader page is swapped out of the buffer before an
event is written to it, then the read_stamp may get an out of date
timestamp, as the page timestamp is updated on the first commit to that
page.
rb_get_reader_page() only returns a page if it has an event on it, otherwise
it will return NULL. At that point, check if the page being returned has
events and has not been read yet. Then at that point update the read_stamp
to match the time stamp of the reader page.

The unlock function in queued spinlocks was optimized for better
performance on bare metal systems at the expense of virtualized guests.
For x86-64 systems, the unlock call needs to go through a
PV_CALLEE_SAVE_REGS_THUNK() which saves and restores 8 64-bit
registers before calling the real __pv_queued_spin_unlock()
function. The thunk code may also be in a separate cacheline from
__pv_queued_spin_unlock().
This patch optimizes the PV unlock code path by:
1) Moving the unlock slowpath code from the fastpath into a separate
__pv_queued_spin_unlock_slowpath() function to make the fastpath
as simple as possible..
2) For x86-64, hand-coded an assembly function to combine the register
saving thunk code with the fastpath code. Only registers that
are used in the fastpath will be saved and restored. If the
fastpath fails, the slowpath function will be called via another
PV_CALLEE_SAVE_REGS_THUNK(). For 32-bit, it falls back to the C
__pv_queued_spin_unlock() code as the thunk saves and restores
only one 32-bit register.

A queue head CPU, after acquiring the lock, will have to notify
the next CPU in the wait queue that it has became the new queue
head. This involves loading a new cacheline from the MCS node of the
next CPU. That operation can be expensive and add to the latency of
locking operation.
This patch addes code to optmistically prefetch the next MCS node
cacheline if the next pointer is defined and it has been spinning
for the MCS lock for a while. This reduces the locking latency and
improves the system throughput.
The performance change will depend on whether the prefetch overhead
can be hidden within the latency of the lock spin loop. On really
short critical section, there may not be performance gain at all. With
longer critical section, however, it was found to have a performance
boost of 5-10% over a range of different queue depths with a spinlock
loop microbenchmark.

The push_irq_work_func() function is conditionally defined only
when both CONFIG_SMP and HAVE_RT_PUSH_IPI are defined, but the
forward declaration remains visibile without HAVE_RT_PUSH_IPI,
causing a gcc warning in ARM64 allnoconfig:
kernel/sched/rt.c:68:13: warning: 'push_irq_work_func' declared 'static' but never defined [-Wunused-function]
This changes the code to use the same condition for both the
declaration and the function definition, which gets rid of the
warning.
As Peter Zijlstra, we can possibly get rid of the whole HAVE_RT_PUSH_IPI
thing after:
8053871d0f ("smp: Fix smp_call_function_single_async() locking")
Until that is done, this patch can be used to avoid the warning.

This patch reinforces the lockdep checks performed by
perf_cgroup_from_tsk() by passing the perf_event_context
whenever possible. It is okay to not hold the RCU read lock
when we know we hold the ctx->lock. This patch makes sure this
property holds.
In some functions, such as perf_cgroup_sched_in(), we do not
pass the context because we are sure we are holding the RCU
read lock.

The RCU checker detected RCU violation in the cgroup switching routines
perf_cgroup_sched_in() and perf_cgroup_sched_out(). We were dereferencing
cgroup from task without holding the RCU lock.
Fix this by holding the RCU read lock. We move the locking from
perf_cgroup_switch() to avoid double locking.

Commit 08d78658f3 ("panic: release stale console lock to always get the
logbuf printed out") introduced an unwanted bad unlock balance report when
panic() is called directly and not from OOPS (e.g. from out_of_memory()).
The difference is that in case of OOPS we disable locks debug in
oops_enter() and on direct panic call nobody does that.

sigsuspend() is nowhere used except in signal.c itself, so we can mark it
static do not pollute the global namespace.
But this patch is more than a boring cleanup patch, it fixes a real issue
on UserModeLinux. UML has a special console driver to display ttys using
xterm, or other terminal emulators, on the host side. Vegard reported
that sometimes UML is unable to spawn a xterm and he's facing the
following warning:
WARNING: CPU: 0 PID: 908 at include/linux/thread_info.h:128 sigsuspend+0xab/0xc0()
It turned out that this warning makes absolutely no sense as the UML
xterm code calls sigsuspend() on the host side, at least it tries. But
as the kernel itself offers a sigsuspend() symbol the linker choose this
one instead of the glibc wrapper. Interestingly this code used to work
since ever but always blocked signals on the wrong side. Some recent
kernel change made the WARN_ON() trigger and uncovered the bug.
It is a wonderful example of how much works by chance on computers. :-)

6f60eade24 ("cgroup: generalize obtaining the handles of and
notifying cgroup files") introduced cftype->file_offset so that the
handles for per-css file instances can be recorded. These handles
then can be used, for example, to generate file modified
notifications.
Unfortunately, it made the wrong assumption that files are created
once for a given css and removed on its destruction. Due to the
dependencies among subsystems, a css may be hidden from userland and
then later shown again. This is implemented by removing and
re-creating the affected files, so the associated kernfs_node for a
given cgroup file may change over time. This incorrect assumption led
to the corruption of css->files lists.
Reimplement cftype->file_offset handling so that cgroup_file->kn is
protected by a lock and updated as files are created and destroyed.
This also makes keeping them on per-cgroup list unnecessary.

In my ARM randconfig tests, I'm getting a build error for

This can happen when UPROBE_EVENT is enabled but KPROBE_EVENT
is disabled. I'm not sure if that is a configuration we care
about, otherwise we could prevent this case from occuring by
adding Kconfig dependencies.
Looking at this further, it's really that UPROBE_EVENT enables PERF_EVENTS.
By just having BPF_EVENTS depend on PERF_EVENTS, then all is fine.

"Outside of the new ACPI-NFIT hot-add support this pull request is more

Commit e509bd7da1 ("genirq: Allow migration of chained interrupts
by installing default action") breaks PCS wake up IRQ behaviour on
TI OMAP based platforms (dra7-evm).
TI OMAP IRQ wake up configuration:
GIC-irqchip->PCM_IRQ
|- omap_prcm_register_chain_handler
|- PRCM-irqchip -> PRCM_IO_IRQ
|- pcs_irq_chain_handler
|- pinctrl-irqchip -> PCS_uart1_wakeup_irq
This happens because IRQ PM code (irq/pm.c) is expected to ignore
chained interrupts by default:
static bool suspend_device_irq(struct irq_desc *desc)
{
if (!desc->action || desc->no_suspend_depth)
return false;
- it's expected !desc->action = true for chained interrupts;
but, after above change, all chained interrupt descriptors will
have default action handler installed - chained_action.
As result, chained interrupts will be silently disabled during system
suspend.
Hence, fix it by introducing helper function irq_desc_is_chained() and
use it in suspend_device_irq() for chained interrupts identification
and skip them, once detected.
Fixes: e509bd7da1 ("genirq: Allow migration of chained interrupts..")

guest_enter and guest_exit must be called with interrupts disabled,
since they take the vtime_seqlock with write_seq{lock,unlock}.
Therefore, it is not necessary to check for exceptions, nor to
save/restore the IRQ state, when context tracking functions are
called by guest_enter and guest_exit.
Split the body of context_tracking_entry and context_tracking_exit
out to __-prefixed functions, and use them from KVM.
Rik van Riel has measured this to speed up a tight vmentry/vmexit
loop by about 2%.

All calls to context_tracking_enter and context_tracking_exit
are already checking context_tracking_is_enabled, except the

Pull the check up to those functions, by making them simple

The NUMA balancing code implements delays in scanning by
advancing curr->node_stamp beyond curr->se.sum_exec_runtime.
With unsigned math, that creates an underflow, which results
in task_numa_work being queued all the time, even when we
don't want to.
Avoiding the math underflow makes it possible to reduce CPU
overhead in the NUMA balancing code.

Arnaldo reported that tracepoint filters seem to misbehave (ie. not
apply) on inherited events.
The fix is obvious; filters are only set on the actual (parent)
event, use the normal pattern of using this parent event for filters.
This is safe because each child event has a reference to it.

The perf_lock_task_context() function disables preemption across its
RCU read-side critical section because that critical section acquires
a scheduler lock. If there was a preemption during that RCU read-side
critical section, the rcu_read_unlock() could attempt to acquire scheduler
locks, resulting in deadlock.
However, recent optimizations to expedited grace periods mean that IPI
handlers that execute during preemptible RCU read-side critical sections
can now cause the subsequent rcu_read_unlock() to acquire scheduler locks.
Disabling preemption does nothiing to prevent these IPI handlers from
executing, so these optimizations introduced a deadlock. In theory,
this deadlock could be avoided by pulling all wakeups and printk()s out
from rnp->lock critical sections, but in practice this would re-introduce
some RCU CPU stall warning bugs.
Given that acquiring scheduler locks entails disabling interrupts, these
deadlocks can be avoided by disabling interrupts (instead of disabling
preemption) across any RCU read-side critical that acquires scheduler
locks and holds them across the rcu_read_unlock(). This commit therefore
makes this change for perf_lock_task_context().

Since the ring buffer is lockless, there is no need to disable ftrace on
CPU. And no one doing so: after commit 68179686ac ("tracing: Remove
ftrace_disable/enable_cpu()") ftrace_cpu_disabled stays the same after
initialization, nothing changes it.
ftrace_cpu_disabled shouldn't be used by any external module since it
disables only function and graph_function tracers but not any other
tracer.

In some cases we may end up killing the CPU holding the console lock
while still having valuable data in logbuf. E.g. I'm observing the
following:
- A crash is happening on one CPU and console_unlock() is being called on
some other.
- console_unlock() tries to print out the buffer before releasing the lock
and on slow console it takes time.
- in the meanwhile crashing CPU does lots of printk()-s with valuable data
(which go to the logbuf) and sends IPIs to all other CPUs.
- console_unlock() finishes printing previous chunk and enables interrupts
before trying to print out the rest, the CPU catches the IPI and never
releases console lock.
This is not the only possible case: in VT/fb subsystems we have many other
console_lock()/console_unlock() users. Non-masked interrupts (or
receiving NMI in case of extreme slowness) will have the same result.
Getting the whole console buffer printed out on crash should be top
priority.

task_will_free_mem() is wrong in many ways, and in particular the
SIGNAL_GROUP_COREDUMP check is not reliable: a task can participate in the
coredumping without SIGNAL_GROUP_COREDUMP bit set.
change zap_threads() paths to always set SIGNAL_GROUP_COREDUMP even if
other CLONE_VM processes can't react to SIGKILL. Fortunately, at least
oom-kill case if fine; it kills all tasks sharing the same mm, so it
should also kill the process which actually dumps the core.
The change in prepare_signal() is not strictly necessary, it just ensures
that the patch does not bring another subtle behavioural change. But it
reminds us that this SIGNAL_GROUP_EXIT/COREDUMP case needs more changes.

It is hardly possible to enumerate all problems with block_all_signals()
and unblock_all_signals(). Just for example,
1. block_all_signals(SIGSTOP/etc) simply can't help if the caller is
multithreaded. Another thread can dequeue the signal and force the
group stop.
2. Even is the caller is single-threaded, it will "stop" anyway. It
will not sleep, but it will spin in kernel space until SIGCONT or
SIGKILL.
And a lot more. In short, this interface doesn't work at all, at least
the last 10+ years.

The following statement of ABI/testing/dev-kmsg is not quite right:
It is not possible to inject messages from userspace with the
facility number LOG_KERN (0), to make sure that the origin of the
messages can always be reliably determined.
Userland actually can inject messages with a facility of 0 by abusing the
fact that the facility is stored in a u8 data type. By using a facility
which is a multiple of 256 the assignment of msg->facility in log_store()
implicitly truncates it to 0, i.e. LOG_KERN, allowing users of /dev/kmsg
to spoof kernel messages as shown below:
The following call...
# printf '<%d>Kernel panic - not syncing: beer empty\n' 0 >/dev/kmsg
...leads to the following log entry (dmesg -x | tail -n 1):
user :emerg : [ 66.137758] Kernel panic - not syncing: beer empty
However, this call...
# printf '<%d>Kernel panic - not syncing: beer empty\n' 0x800 >/dev/kmsg
...leads to the slightly different log entry (note the kernel facility):
kern :emerg : [ 74.177343] Kernel panic - not syncing: beer empty
Fix that by limiting the user provided facility to 8 bit right from the
beginning and catch the truncation early.

__GFP_WAIT was used to signal that the caller was in atomic context and
could not sleep. Now it is possible to distinguish between true atomic
context and callers that are not willing to sleep. The latter should
clear __GFP_DIRECT_RECLAIM so kswapd will still wake. As clearing
__GFP_WAIT behaves differently, there is a risk that people will clear the
wrong flags. This patch renames __GFP_WAIT to __GFP_RECLAIM to clearly
indicate what it does -- setting it allows all reclaim activity, clearing
them prevents it.

__GFP_WAIT has been used to identify atomic context in callers that hold
spinlocks or are in interrupts. They are expected to be high priority and
have access one of two watermarks lower than "min" which can be referred
to as the "atomic reserve". __GFP_HIGH users get access to the first
lower watermark and can be called the "high priority reserve".
Over time, callers had a requirement to not block when fallback options
were available. Some have abused __GFP_WAIT leading to a situation where
an optimisitic allocation with a fallback option can access atomic
reserves.
This patch uses __GFP_ATOMIC to identify callers that are truely atomic,
cannot sleep and have no alternative. High priority users continue to use
__GFP_HIGH. __GFP_DIRECT_RECLAIM identifies callers that can sleep and
are willing to enter direct reclaim. __GFP_KSWAPD_RECLAIM to identify
callers that want to wake kswapd for background reclaim. __GFP_WAIT is
redefined as a caller that is willing to enter direct reclaim and wake
kswapd for background reclaim.
This patch then converts a number of sites
o __GFP_ATOMIC is used by callers that are high priority and have memory
pools for those requests. GFP_ATOMIC uses this flag.
o Callers that have a limited mempool to guarantee forward progress clear
__GFP_DIRECT_RECLAIM but keep __GFP_KSWAPD_RECLAIM. bio allocations fall
into this category where kswapd will still be woken but atomic reserves
are not used as there is a one-entry mempool to guarantee progress.
o Callers that are checking if they are non-blocking should use the
helper gfpflags_allow_blocking() where possible. This is because
checking for __GFP_WAIT as was done historically now can trigger false
positives. Some exceptions like dm-crypt.c exist where the code intent
is clearer if __GFP_DIRECT_RECLAIM is used instead of the helper due to
flag manipulations.
o Callers that built their own GFP flags instead of starting with GFP_KERNEL
and friends now also need to specify __GFP_KSWAPD_RECLAIM.
The first key hazard to watch out for is callers that removed __GFP_WAIT
and was depending on access to atomic reserves for inconspicuous reasons.
In some cases it may be appropriate for them to use __GFP_HIGH.
The second key hazard is callers that assembled their own combination of
GFP flags instead of starting with something like GFP_KERNEL. They may
now wish to specify __GFP_KSWAPD_RECLAIM. It's almost certainly harmless
if it's missed in most cases as other activity will wake kswapd.

o Module globbing. You can now filter function tracing to several
modules. # echo '*:mod:*snd*' > set_ftrace_filter (Dmitry Safonov)
o Tracer specific options are now visible even when the tracer is not
active. It was rather annoying that you can only see and modify tracer
options after enabling the tracer. Now they are in the options/ directory
even when the tracer is not active. Although they are still only visible
when the tracer is active in the trace_options file.
o Trace options are now per instance (although some of the tracer specific
options are global)
o New tracefs file: set_event_pid. If any pid is added to this file, then
all events in the instance will filter out events that are not part of
this pid. sched_switch and sched_wakeup events handle next and the wakee
pids.

- Tracer specific options are now visible even when the tracer is not
active. It was rather annoying that you can only see and modify
tracer options after enabling the tracer. Now they are in the
options/ directory even when the tracer is not active. Although
they are still only visible when the tracer is active in the
trace_options file.
- Trace options are now per instance (although some of the tracer
specific options are global)
- New tracefs file: set_event_pid. If any pid is added to this file,
then all events in the instance will filter out events that are not
part of this pid. sched_switch and sched_wakeup events handle next
and the wakee pids"

Currently tracing_init_dentry() returns -ENODEV when debugfs is not
configured in, which causes tracefs not populated with tracing files and
directories, so we will get an empty directory even after we manually
mount tracefs.
We can make tracing_init_dentry() return NULL if debugfs is not
configured in and can manually mount tracefs. But return -ENODEV
if debugfs is configured in but not initialized or failed to create
automount point as that would break backward compatibility with older
tools.

The cost of faulting in all memory to be locked can be very high when
working with large mappings. If only portions of the mapping will be used
this can incur a high penalty for locking.
For the example of a large file, this is the usage pattern for a large
statical language model (probably applies to other statical or graphical
models as well). For the security example, any application transacting in
data that cannot be swapped out (credit card data, medical records, etc).
This patch introduces the ability to request that pages are not
pre-faulted, but are placed on the unevictable LRU when they are finally
faulted in. The VM_LOCKONFAULT flag will be used together with VM_LOCKED
and has no effect when set without VM_LOCKED. Setting the VM_LOCKONFAULT
flag for a VMA will cause pages faulted into that VMA to be added to the
unevictable LRU when they are faulted or if they are already present, but
will not cause any missing pages to be faulted in.
Exposing this new lock state means that we cannot overload the meaning of
the FOLL_POPULATE flag any longer. Prior to this patch it was used to
mean that the VMA for a fault was locked. This means we need the new
FOLL_MLOCK flag to communicate the locked state of a VMA. FOLL_POPULATE
will now only control if the VMA should be populated and in the case of
VM_LOCKONFAULT, it will not be set.

The oom killer takes task_lock() in a couple of places solely to protect
printing the task's comm.
A process's comm, including current's comm, may change due to
/proc/pid/comm or PR_SET_NAME.
The comm will always be NULL-terminated, so the worst race scenario would
only be during update. We can tolerate a comm being printed that is in
the middle of an update to avoid taking the lock.
Other locations in the kernel have already dropped task_lock() when
printing comm, so this is consistent.

Theoretically it is possible that the watchdog timer expires right at the
time when a user sets 'watchdog_thresh' to zero (note: this disables the
lockup detectors). In this scenario, the is_softlockup() function - which
is called by the timer - could produce a false positive.
Fix this by checking the current value of 'watchdog_thresh'.

The handler functions for watchdog parameters in /proc/sys/kernel do not
protect themselves against races with CPU hotplug. Hence, theoretically
it is possible that a new watchdog thread is started on a hotplugged CPU
while a parameter is being modified, and the thread could thus use a
parameter value that is 'in transition'.
For example, if 'watchdog_thresh' is being set to zero (note: this
disables the lockup detectors) the thread would erroneously use the value
zero as the sample period.
To avoid such races and to keep the /proc handler code consistent,
call
{get|put}_online_cpus() in proc_watchdog_common()
{get|put}_online_cpus() in proc_watchdog_thresh()
{get|put}_online_cpus() in proc_watchdog_cpumask()

The lockup detector suspend/resume interface that was introduced by
commit 8c073d27d7 ("watchdog: introduce watchdog_suspend() and

hotplug. Hence, theoretically it is possible that a new watchdog thread
is started on a hotplugged CPU while the lockup detector is suspended,
and the thread could thus interfere unexpectedly with the code that
requested to suspend the lockup detector.
Avoid the race by calling
get_online_cpus() in lockup_detector_suspend()
put_online_cpus() in lockup_detector_resume()

The only way to enable a hardlockup to panic the machine is to set

In many cases of hardlockup reports, it's actually not possible to know
why it triggered, because the CPU that got stuck is usually waiting on a
resource (with IRQs disabled) in posession of some other CPU is holding.
IOW, we are often looking at the stacktrace of the victim and not the
actual offender.
Introduce sysctl / cmdline parameter that makes it possible to have
hardlockup detector perform all-CPU backtrace.

If kthread_park() returns an error, watchdog_park_threads() should not
blindly 'roll back' the already parked threads to the unparked state.
Instead leave it up to the callers to handle such errors appropriately in
their context. For example, it is redundant to unpark the threads if the
lockup detectors will soon be disabled by the callers anyway.

The original watchdog_park_threads() function that was introduced by
commit 81a4beef91 ("watchdog: introduce watchdog_park_threads() and
watchdog_unpark_threads()") takes a very simple approach to handle
errors returned by kthread_park(): It attempts to roll back all watchdog
threads to the unparked state. However, this may be undesired behaviour
from the perspective of the caller which may want to handle errors as
appropriate in its specific context. Currently, there are two possible
call chains:
- watchdog suspend/resume interface
lockup_detector_suspend
watchdog_park_threads
- write to parameters in /proc/sys/kernel
proc_watchdog_update
watchdog_enable_all_cpus
update_watchdog_all_cpus
watchdog_park_threads
Instead of 'blindly' attempting to unpark the watchdog threads if a
kthread_park() call fails, the new approach is to disable the lockup
detectors in the above call chains. Failure becomes visible to the user
as follows:
- error messages from lockup_detector_suspend()
or watchdog_enable_all_cpus()
- the state that can be read from /proc/sys/kernel/watchdog_enabled
- the 'write' system call in the latter call chain returns an error
I did not experience kthread_park() failures in practice, I used some
instrumentation to fake error returns from kthread_park() in order to test
the patches.
This patch (of 5):
Restore the previous value of watchdog_thresh _and_ sample_period if
proc_watchdog_update() returns an error. The variables must be consistent
to avoid false positives of the lockup detectors.
