Suppose we have 2 threads, the group-leader L and a sub-theread T,
both parked in ptrace_stop(). Debugger tries to resume both threads
and does
ptrace(PTRACE_CONT, T);
ptrace(PTRACE_CONT, L);
If the sub-thread T execs in between, the 2nd PTRACE_CONT doesn not
resume the old leader L, it resumes the post-exec thread T which was
actually now stopped in PTHREAD_EVENT_EXEC. In this case the
PTHREAD_EVENT_EXEC event is lost, and the tracer can't know that the
tracee changed its pid.
This patch makes ptrace() fail in this case until debugger does wait()
and consumes PTHREAD_EVENT_EXEC which reports old_pid. This affects all
ptrace requests except the "asynchronous" PTRACE_INTERRUPT/KILL.
The patch doesn't add the new PTRACE_ option to not complicate the API,
and I _hope_ this won't cause any noticeable regression:
- If debugger uses PTRACE_O_TRACEEXEC and the thread did an exec
and the tracer does a ptrace request without having consumed
the exec event, it's 100% sure that the thread the ptracer
thinks it is targeting does not exist anymore, or isn't the
same as the one it thinks it is targeting.
- To some degree this patch adds nothing new. In the scenario
above ptrace(L) can fail with -ESRCH if it is called after the
execing sub-thread wakes the leader up and before it "steals"
the leader's pid.

Pull scheduler fixes from Thomas Gleixner:
"A set of scheduler updates:
- Prevent PSI state corruption when schedule() races with cgroup
move.
A recent commit combined two PSI callbacks to reduce the number of
cgroup tree updates, but missed that schedule() can drop rq::lock
for load balancing, which opens the race window for
cgroup_move_task() which then observes half updated state.
The fix is to solely use task::ps_flags instead of looking at the
potentially mismatching scheduler state
- Prevent an out-of-bounds access in uclamp caused bu a rounding
division which can lead to an off-by-one error exceeding the
buckets array size.
- Prevent unfairness caused by missing load decay when a task is
attached to a cfs runqueue.
The old load of the task was attached to the runqueue and never
removed. Fix it by enforcing the load update through the hierarchy
for unthrottled run queue instances.
- A documentation fix fot the 'sched_verbose' command line option"

Patch series "drivers/char: remove /dev/kmem for good".
Exploring /dev/kmem and /dev/mem in the context of memory hot(un)plug and
memory ballooning, I started questioning the existence of /dev/kmem.
Comparing it with the /proc/kcore implementation, it does not seem to be
able to deal with things like
a) Pages unmapped from the direct mapping (e.g., to be used by secretmem)
-> kern_addr_valid(). virt_addr_valid() is not sufficient.
b) Special cases like gart aperture memory that is not to be touched
-> mem_pfn_is_ram()
Unless I am missing something, it's at least broken in some cases and might
fault/crash the machine.
Looks like its existence has been questioned before in 2005 and 2010 [1],
after ~11 additional years, it might make sense to revive the discussion.
CONFIG_DEVKMEM is only enabled in a single defconfig (on purpose or by
mistake?). All distributions disable it: in Ubuntu it has been disabled
for more than 10 years, in Debian since 2.6.31, in Fedora at least
starting with FC3, in RHEL starting with RHEL4, in SUSE starting from
15sp2, and OpenSUSE has it disabled as well.
1) /dev/kmem was popular for rootkits [2] before it got disabled
basically everywhere. Ubuntu documents [3] "There is no modern user of
/dev/kmem any more beyond attackers using it to load kernel rootkits.".
RHEL documents in a BZ [5] "it served no practical purpose other than to
serve as a potential security problem or to enable binary module drivers
to access structures/functions they shouldn't be touching"
2) /proc/kcore is a decent interface to have a controlled way to read
kernel memory for debugging puposes. (will need some extensions to
deal with memory offlining/unplug, memory ballooning, and poisoned
pages, though)
3) It might be useful for corner case debugging [1]. KDB/KGDB might be a
better fit, especially, to write random memory; harder to shoot
yourself into the foot.
4) "Kernel Memory Editor" [4] hasn't seen any updates since 2000 and seems
to be incompatible with 64bit [1]. For educational purposes,
/proc/kcore might be used to monitor value updates -- or older
kernels can be used.
5) It's broken on arm64, and therefore, completely disabled there.
Looks like it's essentially unused and has been replaced by better
suited interfaces for individual tasks (/proc/kcore, KDB/KGDB). Let's
just remove it.

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.

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.

It's currently nigh impossible to get these pr_debug()s to print
something. Being guarded by initcall_debug means one has to enable tons
of other debug output during boot, and the system_state condition further
means it's impossible to get them when loading modules later.
Also, the compiler can't know that these global conditions do not change,
so there are W=2 warnings
kernel/async.c:125:9: warning: `calltime' may be used uninitialized in this function [-Wmaybe-uninitialized]
kernel/async.c:300:9: warning: `starttime' may be used uninitialized in this function [-Wmaybe-uninitialized]
Make it possible, for a DYNAMIC_DEBUG kernel, to get these to print their
messages by booting with appropriate 'dyndbg="file async.c +p"' command
line argument. For a non-DYNAMIC_DEBUG kernel, pr_debug() compiles to
nothing.
This does cost doing an unconditional ktime_get() for the starttime value,
but the corresponding ktime_get for the end time can be elided by
factoring it into a function which only gets called if the printk()
arguments end up being evaluated.

request_free_mem_region() is used to find an empty range of physical
addresses for hotplugging ZONE_DEVICE memory. It does this by iterating
over the range of possible addresses using region_intersects() to see if
the range is free before calling request_mem_region() to allocate the
region.
However the resource_lock is dropped between these two calls meaning by
the time request_mem_region() is called in request_free_mem_region()
another thread may have already reserved the requested region. This
results in unexpected failures and a message in the kernel log from
hitting this condition:
/*
* mm/hmm.c reserves physical addresses which then
* become unavailable to other users. Conflicts are
* not expected. Warn to aid debugging if encountered.
*/
if (conflict->desc == IORES_DESC_DEVICE_PRIVATE_MEMORY) {
pr_warn("Unaddressable device %s %pR conflicts with %pR",
conflict->name, conflict, res);
These unexpected failures can be corrected by holding resource_lock across
the two calls. This also requires memory allocation to be performed prior
to taking the lock.

It used to be true that we can have system RAM (IORESOURCE_SYSTEM_RAM |
IORESOURCE_BUSY) only on the first level in the resource tree. However,
this is no longer holds for driver-managed system RAM (i.e., added via
dax/kmem and virtio-mem), which gets added on lower levels, for example,
inside device containers.
IORESOURCE_SYSTEM_RAM is defined as IORESOURCE_MEM | IORESOURCE_SYSRAM and
just a special type of IORESOURCE_MEM.
The function walk_mem_res() only considers the first level and is used in
arch/x86/mm/ioremap.c:__ioremap_check_mem() only. We currently fail to
identify System RAM added by dax/kmem and virtio-mem as
"IORES_MAP_SYSTEM_RAM", for example, allowing for remapping of such
"normal RAM" in __ioremap_caller().
Let's find all IORESOURCE_MEM | IORESOURCE_BUSY resources, making the
function behave similar to walk_system_ram_res().

IORESOURCE_SYSTEM_RAM resources
Patch series "kernel/resource: make walk_system_ram_res() and walk_mem_res() search the whole tree", v2.
Playing with kdump+virtio-mem I noticed that kexec_file_load() does not
consider System RAM added via dax/kmem and virtio-mem when preparing the
elf header for kdump. Looking into the details, the logic used in
walk_system_ram_res() and walk_mem_res() seems to be outdated.
walk_system_ram_range() already does the right thing, let's change
walk_system_ram_res() and walk_mem_res(), and clean up.
Loading a kdump kernel via "kexec -p -s" ... will result in the kdump
kernel to also dump dax/kmem and virtio-mem added System RAM now.
Note: kexec-tools on x86-64 also have to be updated to consider this
memory in the kexec_load() case when processing /proc/iomem.
This patch (of 3):
It used to be true that we can have system RAM (IORESOURCE_SYSTEM_RAM |
IORESOURCE_BUSY) only on the first level in the resource tree. However,
this is no longer holds for driver-managed system RAM (i.e., added via
dax/kmem and virtio-mem), which gets added on lower levels, for example,
inside device containers.
We have two users of walk_system_ram_res(), which currently only
consideres the first level:
a) kernel/kexec_file.c:kexec_walk_resources() -- We properly skip
IORESOURCE_SYSRAM_DRIVER_MANAGED resources via
locate_mem_hole_callback(), so even after this change, we won't be
placing kexec images onto dax/kmem and virtio-mem added memory. No
change.
b) arch/x86/kernel/crash.c:fill_up_crash_elf_data() -- we're currently
not adding relevant ranges to the crash elf header, resulting in them
not getting dumped via kdump.
This change fixes loading a crashkernel via kexec_file_load() and
including dax/kmem and virtio-mem added System RAM in the crashdump on
x86-64. Note that e.g,, arm64 relies on memblock data and, therefore,
always considers all added System RAM already.
Let's find all IORESOURCE_SYSTEM_RAM | IORESOURCE_BUSY resources, making
the function behave like walk_system_ram_range().

Add a special-case when waiting on a pid (via waitpid, waitid, wait4, etc)
to avoid doing an O(n) scan of children and tracees, and instead do an
O(1) lookup. This improves performance when waiting on a pid from a
thread group with many children and/or tracees.
Time to fork and then call waitpid on the child, from a task that already
has N children [1]:
N | Before | After
-----|---------|------
1 | 74 us | 74 us
20 | 72 us | 75 us
100 | 83 us | 77 us
500 | 99 us | 74 us
1000 | 179 us | 75 us
5000 | 804 us | 79 us
8000 | 1268 us | 78 us
[1]: https://lkml.org/lkml/2021/3/12/1567
This can make a substantial performance improvement for applications with
a thread that has many children or tracees and frequently needs to wait on
them. Tools that use ptrace to intercept syscalls for a large number of
processes are likely to fall into this category. In particular this patch
was developed while building a ptrace-based second generation of the
Shadow emulator [2], for which it allows us to avoid quadratic scaling
(without having to use a workaround that introduces a ~40% performance
penalty) [3]. Other examples of tools that fall into this category which
this patch may help include User Mode Linux [4] and DetTrace [5].

There is no point in checking which FUTEX operand treats the utime pointer
as 'val2' argument because that argument to do_futex() is only used by
exactly these operands.
So just handing it in unconditionally is not making any difference, but
removes a lot of pointless gunk.

FUTEX_LOCK_PI does not require to have the FUTEX_CLOCK_REALTIME bit set
because it has been using CLOCK_REALTIME based absolute timeouts
forever. Due to that, the time namespace adjustment which is applied when
FUTEX_CLOCK_REALTIME is not set, will wrongly take place for FUTEX_LOCK_PI
and wreckage the timeout.
Exclude it from that procedure.

The FUTEX_WAIT operand has historically a relative timeout which means that
the clock id is irrelevant as relative timeouts on CLOCK_REALTIME are not
subject to wall clock changes and therefore are mapped by the kernel to
CLOCK_MONOTONIC for simplicity.
If a caller would set FUTEX_CLOCK_REALTIME for FUTEX_WAIT the timeout is
still treated relative vs. CLOCK_MONOTONIC and then the wait arms that
timeout based on CLOCK_REALTIME which is broken and obviously has never
been used or even tested.
Reject any attempt to use FUTEX_CLOCK_REALTIME with FUTEX_WAIT again.
The desired functionality can be achieved with FUTEX_WAIT_BITSET and a
FUTEX_BITSET_MATCH_ANY argument.

Pull tracing fix from Steven Rostedt:
"Fix probes written to the set_ftrace_filter file
Now that there's a library that accesses the tracefs file system
(libtracefs), the way the files are interacted with is slightly
different than the command line. For instance, the write() system call
is used directly instead of an echo. This exposes some old bugs.
If a probe is written to "set_ftrace_filter" without any white space
after it, it will be ignored. This is because the write expects that a
string written to it that does not end with white spaces thinks there
is more to come. But if the file is closed, the release function needs
to finish it. The "set_ftrace_filter" release function handles the
filter part of the "set_ftrace_filter" file, but did not handle the
probe part"

Make the code more readable by replacing the atomic_cmpxchg_acquire()
by an equivalent atomic_try_cmpxchg_acquire() and change atomic_add()
to atomic_or().
For architectures that use qrwlock, I do not find one that has an
atomic_add() defined but not an atomic_or(). I guess it should be fine
by changing atomic_add() to atomic_or().
Note that the previous use of atomic_add() isn't wrong as only one
writer that is the wait_lock owner can set the waiting flag and the
flag will be cleared later on when acquiring the write lock.

As of commit 966a967116e6 ("smp: Avoid using two cache lines for struct
call_single_data"), the smp code prefers 32-byte aligned call_single_data
objects for performance reasons, but the block layer includes an instance
of this structure in the main 'struct request' that is more senstive
to size than to performance here, see 4ccafe032005 ("block: unalign
call_single_data in struct request").
The result is a violation of the calling conventions that clang correctly
points out:
block/blk-mq.c:630:39: warning: passing 8-byte aligned argument to 32-byte aligned parameter 2 of 'smp_call_function_single_async' may result in an unaligned pointer access [-Walign-mismatch]
smp_call_function_single_async(cpu, &rq->csd);
It does seem that the usage of the call_single_data without cache line
alignment should still be allowed by the smp code, so just change the
function prototype so it accepts both, but leave the default alignment
unchanged for the other users. This seems better to me than adding
a local hack to shut up an otherwise correct warning in the caller.

This fixes an issue where old load on a cfs_rq is not properly decayed,
resulting in strange behavior where fairness can decrease drastically.
Real workloads with equally weighted control groups have ended up
getting a respective 99% and 1%(!!) of cpu time.
When an idle task is attached to a cfs_rq by attaching a pid to a cgroup,
the old load of the task is attached to the new cfs_rq and sched_entity by
attach_entity_cfs_rq. If the task is then moved to another cpu (and
therefore cfs_rq) before being enqueued/woken up, the load will be moved
to cfs_rq->removed from the sched_entity. Such a move will happen when
enforcing a cpuset on the task (eg. via a cgroup) that force it to move.
The load will however not be removed from the task_group itself, making
it look like there is a constant load on that cfs_rq. This causes the
vruntime of tasks on other sibling cfs_rq's to increase faster than they
are supposed to; causing severe fairness issues. If no other task is
started on the given cfs_rq, and due to the cpuset it would not happen,
this load would never be properly unloaded. With this patch the load
will be properly removed inside update_blocked_averages. This also
applies to tasks moved to the fair scheduling class and moved to another
cpu, and this path will also fix that. For fork, the entity is queued
right away, so this problem does not affect that.
This applies to cases where the new process is the first in the cfs_rq,
issue introduced 3d30544f0212 ("sched/fair: Apply more PELT fixes"), and
when there has previously been load on the cgroup but the cgroup was
removed from the leaflist due to having null PELT load, indroduced
in 039ae8bcf7a5 ("sched/fair: Fix O(nr_cgroups) in the load balancing
path").
For a simple cgroup hierarchy (as seen below) with two equally weighted
groups, that in theory should get 50/50 of cpu time each, it often leads
to a load of 60/40 or 70/30.
parent/
cg-1/
cpu.weight: 100
cpuset.cpus: 1
cg-2/
cpu.weight: 100
cpuset.cpus: 1
If the hierarchy is deeper (as seen below), while keeping cg-1 and cg-2
equally weighted, they should still get a 50/50 balance of cpu time.
This however sometimes results in a balance of 10/90 or 1/99(!!) between
the task groups.
$ ps u -C stress
USER PID %CPU %MEM VSZ RSS TTY STAT START TIME COMMAND
root 18568 1.1 0.0 3684 100 pts/12 R+ 13:36 0:00 stress --cpu 1

cpuset.cpus: 1
This can be reproduced by attaching an idle process to a cgroup and
moving it to a given cpuset before it wakes up. The issue is evident in
many (if not most) container runtimes, and has been reproduced
with both crun and runc (and therefore docker and all its "derivatives"),
and with both cgroup v1 and v2.

Util-clamp places tasks in different buckets based on their clamp values
for performance reasons. However, the size of buckets is currently
computed using a rounding division, which can lead to an off-by-one
error in some configurations.
For instance, with 20 buckets, the bucket size will be 1024/20=51. A
task with a clamp of 1024 will be mapped to bucket id 1024/51=20. Sadly,
correct indexes are in range [0,19], hence leading to an out of bound
memory access.
Clamp the bucket id to fix the issue.

4117cebf1a9f ("psi: Optimize task switch inside shared cgroups")
introduced a race condition that corrupts internal psi state. This
manifests as kernel warnings, sometimes followed by bogusly high IO
pressure:
psi: task underflow! cpu=1 t=2 tasks=[0 0 0 0] clear=c set=0
(schedule() decreasing RUNNING and ONCPU, both of which are 0)
psi: incosistent task state! task=2412744:systemd cpu=17 psi_flags=e clear=3 set=0
(cgroup_move_task() clearing MEMSTALL and IOWAIT, but task is MEMSTALL | RUNNING | ONCPU)
What the offending commit does is batch the two psi callbacks in
schedule() to reduce the number of cgroup tree updates. When prev is
deactivated and removed from the runqueue, nothing is done in psi at
first; when the task switch completes, TSK_RUNNING and TSK_IOWAIT are
updated along with TSK_ONCPU.
However, the deactivation and the task switch inside schedule() aren't
atomic: pick_next_task() may drop the rq lock for load balancing. When
this happens, cgroup_move_task() can run after the task has been
physically dequeued, but the psi updates are still pending. Since it
looks at the task's scheduler state, it doesn't move everything to the
new cgroup that the task switch that follows is about to clear from
it. cgroup_move_task() will leak the TSK_RUNNING count in the old
cgroup, and psi_sched_switch() will underflow it in the new cgroup.
A similar thing can happen for iowait. TSK_IOWAIT is usually set when
a p->in_iowait task is dequeued, but again this update is deferred to
the switch. cgroup_move_task() can see an unqueued p->in_iowait task
and move a non-existent TSK_IOWAIT. This results in the inconsistent
task state warning, as well as a counter underflow that will result in
permanent IO ghost pressure being reported.
Fix this bug by making cgroup_move_task() use task->psi_flags instead
of looking at the potentially mismatching scheduler state.
[ We used the scheduler state historically in order to not rely on
task->psi_flags for anything but debugging. But that ship has sailed
anyway, and this is simpler and more robust.
We previously already batched TSK_ONCPU clearing with the
TSK_RUNNING update inside the deactivation call from schedule(). But
that ordering was safe and didn't result in TSK_ONCPU corruption:
unlike most places in the scheduler, cgroup_move_task() only checked
task_current() and handled TSK_ONCPU if the task was still queued. ]

The sysctl_compact_memory is mostly unused in mm/compaction.c It just
acts as a place holder for sysctl to store .data.
But the .data itself is not needed here.
So we can get ride of this variable completely and make .data as NULL.
This will also eliminate the extern declaration from header file. No
functionality is broken or changed this way.

# echo switch_mm:traceoff > /sys/kernel/tracing/set_ftrace_filter
will cause switch_mm to stop tracing by the traceoff command.
# echo -n switch_mm:traceoff > /sys/kernel/tracing/set_ftrace_filter
does nothing.
The reason is that the parsing in the write function only processes
commands if it finished parsing (there is white space written after the
command). That's to handle:
write(fd, "switch_mm:", 10);
write(fd, "traceoff", 8);
cases, where the command is broken over multiple writes.
The problem is if the file descriptor is closed, then the write call is
not processed, and the command needs to be processed in the release code.
The release code can handle matching of functions, but does not handle
commands.

Pull tracing updates from Steven Rostedt:
"New feature:
- A new "func-no-repeats" option in tracefs/options directory.
When set the function tracer will detect if the current function
being traced is the same as the previous one, and instead of
recording it, it will keep track of the number of times that the
function is repeated in a row. And when another function is
recorded, it will write a new event that shows the function that
repeated, the number of times it repeated and the time stamp of
when the last repeated function occurred.
Enhancements:
- In order to implement the above "func-no-repeats" option, the ring
buffer timestamp can now give the accurate timestamp of the event
as it is being recorded, instead of having to record an absolute
timestamp for all events. This helps the histogram code which no
longer needs to waste ring buffer space.
- New validation logic to make sure all trace events that access
dereferenced pointers do so in a safe way, and will warn otherwise.
Fixes:
- No longer limit the PIDs of tasks that are recorded for
"saved_cmdlines" to PID_MAX_DEFAULT (32768), as systemd now allows
for a much larger range. This caused the mapping of PIDs to the
task names to be dropped for all tasks with a PID greater than
32768.

- Typos, prototype fixes, and removing of duplicate or unused code.
