init: move usermodehelper_enable() to populate_rootfs()
Currently, usermodehelper is enabled right before PID1 starts going through the initcalls. However, any call of a usermodehelper from a pure_, core_, postcore_, arch_, subsys_ or fs_ initcall is futile, as there is no filesystem contents yet. Up until commit |

kbuild: Only default to -Werror if COMPILE_TEST
The cross-product of the kernel's supported toolchains, architectures, and configuration options is large. So large, that it's generally accepted to be infeasible to enumerate and build+test them all (many compile-testers rely on randomly generated configs). Without the possibility to enumerate all possible combinations of toolchains, architectures, and configuration options, it is inevitable that compiler warnings in this space exist. With -Werror, this means that an innumerable set of kernels are now broken, yet had been perfectly usable before (confused compilers, code with warnings unused, or luck). Distributors will necessarily pick a point in the toolchain X arch X config space, and if unlucky, will have a broken build. Granted, those will likely disable CONFIG_WERROR and move on. The kernel's default configuration is unlikely to be suitable for all users, but it's inappropriate to force many users to set CONFIG_WERROR=n. This also holds for CI systems which are focused on runtime testing, where the odd warning in some subsystem will disrupt testing of the rest of the kernel. Many of those runtime-focused CI systems run tests or fuzz the kernel using runtime debugging tools. Runtime testing of different subsystems can proceed in parallel, and potentially uncover serious bugs; halting runtime testing of the entire kernel because of the odd warning (now error) in a subsystem or driver is simply inappropriate. Therefore, runtime-focused CI systems will likely choose CONFIG_WERROR=n as well. The appropriate usecase for -Werror is therefore compile-test focused builds (often done by developers or CI systems). Reflect this in the Kconfig option by making the default value of WERROR match COMPILE_TEST.

Enable '-Werror' by default for all kernel builds
... but make it a config option so that broken environments can disable it when required. We really should always have a clean build, and will disable specific over-eager warnings as required, if we can't fix them. But while I fairly religiously enforce that in my own tree, it doesn't get enforced by various build robots that don't necessarily report warnings. So this just makes '-Werror' a default compiler flag, but allows people to disable it for their configuration if they have some particular issues. Occasionally, new compiler versions end up enabling new warnings, and it can take a while before we have them fixed (or the warnings disabled if that is what it takes), so the config option allows for that situation. Hopefully this will mean that I get fewer pull requests that have new warnings that were not noticed by various automation we have in place. Knock wood.

Scheduler changes for v5.15 are:
- The biggest change in this cycle is scheduler support for asymmetric scheduling affinity, to support the execution of legacy 32-bit tasks on AArch32 systems that also have 64-bit-only CPUs. Architectures can fill in this functionality by defining their own task_cpu_possible_mask(p). When this is done, the scheduler will make sure the task will only be scheduled on CPUs that support it. (The actual arm64 specific changes are not part of this tree.)

init: allow mounting arbitrary non-blockdevice filesystems as root
Currently the only non-blockdevice filesystems that can be used as the initial root filesystem are NFS and CIFS, which use the magic "root=/dev/nfs" and "root=/dev/cifs" syntax that requires the root device file system details to come from filesystem specific kernel command line options. Add a little bit of new code that allows to just pass arbitrary string mount options to any non-blockdevice filesystems so that it can be mounted as the root file system. For example a virtiofs root file system can be mounted using the following syntax: "root=myfs rootfstype=virtiofs rw" Based on an earlier patch from Vivek Goyal <vgoyal@redhat.com>.

init: Suppress wrong warning for bootconfig cmdline parameter
Since the 'bootconfig' command line parameter is handled before
parsing the command line, it doesn't use early_param(). But in
this case, kernel shows a wrong warning message about it.
[ 0.013714] Kernel command line: ro console=ttyS0 bootconfig console=tty0
[ 0.013741] Unknown command line parameters: bootconfig
To suppress this message, add a dummy handler for 'bootconfig'.

printk: remove NMI tracking
All NMI contexts are handled the same as the safe context: store the
message and defer printing. There is no need to have special NMI
context tracking for this. Using in_nmi() is enough.
There are several parts of the kernel that are manually calling into
the printk NMI context tracking in order to cause general printk
deferred printing:
arch/arm/kernel/smp.c
arch/powerpc/kexec/crash.c
kernel/trace/trace.c
For arm/kernel/smp.c and powerpc/kexec/crash.c, provide a new
function pair printk_deferred_enter/exit that explicitly achieves the
same objective.
For ftrace, remove the printk context manipulation completely. It was
added in commit

printk: Userspace format indexing support
We have a number of systems industry-wide that have a subset of their functionality that works as follows: 1. Receive a message from local kmsg, serial console, or netconsole; 2. Apply a set of rules to classify the message; 3. Do something based on this classification (like scheduling a remediation for the machine), rinse, and repeat. As a couple of examples of places we have this implemented just inside Facebook, although this isn't a Facebook-specific problem, we have this inside our netconsole processing (for alarm classification), and as part of our machine health checking. We use these messages to determine fairly important metrics around production health, and it's important that we get them right. While for some kinds of issues we have counters, tracepoints, or metrics with a stable interface which can reliably indicate the issue, in order to react to production issues quickly we need to work with the interface which most kernel developers naturally use when developing: printk. Most production issues come from unexpected phenomena, and as such usually the code in question doesn't have easily usable tracepoints or other counters available for the specific problem being mitigated. We have a number of lines of monitoring defence against problems in production (host metrics, process metrics, service metrics, etc), and where it's not feasible to reliably monitor at another level, this kind of pragmatic netconsole monitoring is essential. As one would expect, monitoring using printk is rather brittle for a number of reasons -- most notably that the message might disappear entirely in a new version of the kernel, or that the message may change in some way that the regex or other classification methods start to silently fail. One factor that makes this even harder is that, under normal operation, many of these messages are never expected to be hit. For example, there may be a rare hardware bug which one wants to detect if it was to ever happen again, but its recurrence is not likely or anticipated. This precludes using something like checking whether the printk in question was printed somewhere fleetwide recently to determine whether the message in question is still present or not, since we don't anticipate that it should be printed anywhere, but still need to monitor for its future presence in the long-term. This class of issue has happened on a number of occasions, causing unhealthy machines with hardware issues to remain in production for longer than ideal. As a recent example, some monitoring around blk_update_request fell out of date and caused semi-broken machines to remain in production for longer than would be desirable. Searching through the codebase to find the message is also extremely fragile, because many of the messages are further constructed beyond their callsite (eg. btrfs_printk and other module-specific wrappers, each with their own functionality). Even if they aren't, guessing the format and formulation of the underlying message based on the aesthetics of the message emitted is not a recipe for success at scale, and our previous issues with fleetwide machine health checking demonstrate as much. This provides a solution to the issue of silently changed or deleted printks: we record pointers to all printk format strings known at compile time into a new .printk_index section, both in vmlinux and modules. At runtime, this can then be iterated by looking at <debugfs>/printk/index/<module>, which emits the following format, both readable by humans and able to be parsed by machines: $ head -1 vmlinux; shuf -n 5 vmlinux # <level[,flags]> filename:line function "format" <5> block/blk-settings.c:661 disk_stack_limits "%s: Warning: Device %s is misaligned\n" <4> kernel/trace/trace.c:8296 trace_create_file "Could not create tracefs '%s' entry\n" <6> arch/x86/kernel/hpet.c:144 _hpet_print_config "hpet: %s(%d):\n" <6> init/do_mounts.c:605 prepare_namespace "Waiting for root device %s...\n" <6> drivers/acpi/osl.c:1410 acpi_no_auto_serialize_setup "ACPI: auto-serialization disabled\n" This mitigates the majority of cases where we have a highly-specific printk which we want to match on, as we can now enumerate and check whether the format changed or the printk callsite disappeared entirely in userspace. This allows us to catch changes to printks we monitor earlier and decide what to do about it before it becomes problematic. There is no additional runtime cost for printk callers or printk itself, and the assembly generated is exactly the same.

init: print out unknown kernel parameters
It is easy to foobar setting a kernel parameter on the command line without realizing it, there's not much output that you can use to assess what the kernel did with that parameter by default. Make it a little more explicit which parameters on the command line _looked_ like a valid parameter for the kernel, but did not match anything and ultimately got tossed to init. This is very similar to the unknown parameter message received when loading a module. This assumes the parameters are processed in a normal fashion, some parameters (dyndbg= for example) don't register their parameter with the rest of the kernel's parameters, and therefore always show up in this list (and are also given to init - like the rest of this list). Another example is BOOT_IMAGE= is highlighted as an offender, which it technically is, but is passed by LILO and GRUB so most systems will see that complaint. An example output where "foobared" and "unrecognized" are intentionally invalid parameters: Kernel command line: BOOT_IMAGE=/boot/vmlinuz-5.12-dirty debug log_buf_len=4M foobared unrecognized=foo Unknown command line parameters: foobared BOOT_IMAGE=/boot/vmlinuz-5.12-dirty unrecognized=foo Link: https://lkml.kernel.org/r/20210511211009.42259-1-ahalaney@redhat.com Signed-off-by: Andrew Halaney <ahalaney@redhat.com> Suggested-by: Steven Rostedt <rostedt@goodmis.org> Suggested-by: Borislav Petkov <bp@suse.de> Acked-by: Borislav Petkov <bp@suse.de> Signed-off-by: Andrew Morton <akpm@linux-foundation.org> Signed-off-by: Linus Torvalds <torvalds@linux-foundation.org> |

Kconfig: Introduce ARCH_WANTS_NO_INSTR and CC_HAS_NO_PROFILE_FN_ATTR
We don't want compiler instrumentation to touch noinstr functions, which are annotated with the no_profile_instrument_function function attribute. Add a Kconfig test for this and make GCOV depend on it, and in the future, PGO. If an architecture is using noinstr, it should denote that via this Kconfig value. That makes Kconfigs that depend on noinstr able to express dependencies in an architecturally agnostic way.

pid: take a reference when initializing cad_pid
During boot, kernel_init_freeable() initializes `cad_pid` to the init task's struct pid. Later on, we may change `cad_pid` via a sysctl, and when this happens proc_do_cad_pid() will increment the refcount on the new pid via get_pid(), and will decrement the refcount on the old pid via put_pid(). As we never called get_pid() when we initialized `cad_pid`, we decrement a reference we never incremented, can therefore free the init task's struct pid early. As there can be dangling references to the struct pid, we can later encounter a use-after-free (e.g. when delivering signals). This was spotted when fuzzing v5.13-rc3 with Syzkaller, but seems to have been around since the conversion of `cad_pid` to struct pid in commit |

srcu: Initialize SRCU after timers
Once srcu_init() is called, the SRCU core will make use of delayed workqueues, which rely on timers. However init_timers() is called several steps after rcu_init(). This means that a call_srcu() after rcu_init() but before init_timers() would find itself within a dangerously uninitialized timer core. This commit therefore creates a separate call to srcu_init() after init_timer() completes, which ensures that we stay in early SRCU mode until timers are safe(r).

modules: add CONFIG_MODPROBE_PATH
Allow the developer to specifiy the initial value of the modprobe_path[] string. This can be used to set it to the empty string initially, thus effectively disabling request_module() during early boot until userspace writes a new value via the /proc/sys/kernel/modprobe interface. [1] When building a custom kernel (often for an embedded target), it's normal to build everything into the kernel that is needed for booting, and indeed the initramfs often contains no modules at all, so every such request_module() done before userspace init has mounted the real rootfs is a waste of time. This is particularly useful when combined with the previous patch, which made the initramfs unpacking asynchronous - for that to work, it had to make any usermodehelper call wait for the unpacking to finish before attempting to invoke the userspace helper. By eliminating all such (known-to-be-futile) calls of usermodehelper, the initramfs unpacking and the {device,late}_initcalls can proceed in parallel for much longer. For a relatively slow ppc board I'm working on, the two patches combined lead to 0.2s faster boot - but more importantly, the fact that the initramfs unpacking proceeds completely in the background while devices get probed means I get to handle the gpio watchdog in time without getting reset. [1] __request_module() already has an early -ENOENT return when modprobe_path is the empty string.

init/initramfs.c: do unpacking asynchronously
Patch series "background initramfs unpacking, and CONFIG_MODPROBE_PATH", v3. These two patches are independent, but better-together. The second is a rather trivial patch that simply allows the developer to change "/sbin/modprobe" to something else - e.g. the empty string, so that all request_module() during early boot return -ENOENT early, without even spawning a usermode helper, needlessly synchronizing with the initramfs unpacking. The first patch delegates decompressing the initramfs to a worker thread, allowing do_initcalls() in main.c to proceed to the device_ and late_ initcalls without waiting for that decompression (and populating of rootfs) to finish. Obviously, some of those later calls may rely on the initramfs being available, so I've added synchronization points in the firmware loader and usermodehelper paths - there might be other places that would need this, but so far no one has been able to think of any places I have missed. There's not much to win if most of the functionality needed during boot is only available as modules. But systems with a custom-made .config and initramfs can boot faster, partly due to utilizing more than one cpu earlier, partly by avoiding known-futile modprobe calls (which would still trigger synchronization with the initramfs unpacking, thus eliminating most of the first benefit). This patch (of 2): Most of the boot process doesn't actually need anything from the initramfs, until of course PID1 is to be executed. So instead of doing the decompressing and populating of the initramfs synchronously in populate_rootfs() itself, push that off to a worker thread. This is primarily motivated by an embedded ppc target, where unpacking even the rather modest sized initramfs takes 0.6 seconds, which is long enough that the external watchdog becomes unhappy that it doesn't get attention soon enough. By doing the initramfs decompression in a worker thread, we get to do the device_initcalls and hence start petting the watchdog much sooner. Normal desktops might benefit as well. On my mostly stock Ubuntu kernel, my initramfs is a 26M xz-compressed blob, decompressing to around 126M. That takes almost two seconds: [ 0.201454] Trying to unpack rootfs image as initramfs... [ 1.976633] Freeing initrd memory: 29416K Before this patch, these lines occur consecutively in dmesg. With this patch, the timestamps on these two lines is roughly the same as above, but with 172 lines inbetween - so more than one cpu has been kept busy doing work that would otherwise only happen after the populate_rootfs() finished. Should one of the initcalls done after rootfs_initcall time (i.e., device_ and late_ initcalls) need something from the initramfs (say, a kernel module or a firmware blob), it will simply wait for the initramfs unpacking to be done before proceeding, which should in theory make this completely safe. But if some driver pokes around in the filesystem directly and not via one of the official kernel interfaces (i.e. request_firmware*(), call_usermodehelper*) that theory may not hold - also, I certainly might have missed a spot when sprinkling wait_for_initramfs(). So there is an escape hatch in the form of an initramfs_async= command line parameter.
