[ Upstream commit 71c7a30442b724717a30d5e7d1662ba4904eb3d4 ] There is a problem with the behavior of hwlat in a container, resulting in incorrect output. A warning message is generated: "cpumask changed while in round-robin mode, switching to mode none", and the tracing_cpumask is ignored. This issue arises because the kernel thread, hwlatd, is not a part of the container, and the function sched_setaffinity is unable to locate it using its PID. Additionally, the task_struct of hwlatd is already known. Ultimately, the function set_cpus_allowed_ptr achieves the same outcome as sched_setaffinity, but employs task_struct instead of PID. Test case: # cd /sys/kernel/tracing # echo 0 > tracing_on # echo round-robin > hwlat_detector/mode # echo hwlat > current_tracer # unshare --fork --pid bash -c 'echo 1 > tracing_on' # dmesg -c Actual behavior: [573502.809060] hwlat_detector: cpumask changed while in round-robin mode, switching to mode none Link: https://lore.kernel.org/linux-trace-kernel/20230316144535.1004952-1-costa.shul@redhat.com Cc: Masami Hiramatsu <mhiramat@kernel.org> Fixes: 0330f7aa8ee63 ("tracing: Have hwlat trace migrate across tracing_cpumask CPUs") Signed-off-by: Costa Shulyupin <costa.shul@redhat.com> Acked-by: Daniel Bristot de Oliveira <bristot@kernel.org> Signed-off-by: Steven Rostedt (Google) <rostedt@goodmis.org> Signed-off-by: Sasha Levin <sashal@kernel.org>
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.
