These four functions have a normal definition for CONFIG_FAIR_GROUP_SCHED,
and empty one that is only referenced when FAIR_GROUP_SCHED is disabled
but CGROUP_SCHED is still enabled. If both are turned off, the functions
are still defined but the misisng prototype causes a W=1 warning:
kernel/sched/fair.c:12544:6: error: no previous prototype for 'free_fair_sched_group'
kernel/sched/fair.c:12546:5: error: no previous prototype for 'alloc_fair_sched_group'

Move the alternatives into the header as static inline functions with
the correct combination of #ifdef checks to avoid the warning without
adding even more complexity.

init_cfs_bandwidth() is only used when CONFIG_FAIR_GROUP_SCHED is

Some PMUs have well defined parents such as PCI devices.
As the device_initialize() and device_add() are all within
pmu_dev_alloc() which is called from perf_pmu_register()
there is no opportunity to set the parent from within a driver.
Add a struct device *parent field to struct pmu and use that
to set the parent.

Pull tracing fixes from Steven Rostedt:
"User events:
- Use long instead of int for storing the enable set/clear bit, as it
was found that big endian machines could end up using the wrong
bits.
- Split allocating mm and attaching it. This keeps the allocation
separate from the registration and avoids various races.
- Remove RCU locking around pin_user_pages_remote() as that can
schedule. The RCU protection is no longer needed with the above
split of mm allocation and attaching.
- Rename the "link" fields of the various structs to something more
meaningful.
- Add comments around user_event_mm struct usage and locking
requirements.
Timerlat tracer:
- Fix missed wakeup of timerlat thread caused by the timerlat
interrupt triggering when tracing is off. The timer interrupt
handler needs to always wake up the timerlat thread regardless if
tracing is enabled or not, otherwise, it will never wake up.
Histograms:
- Fix regression of breaking the "stacktrace" modifier for variables.
That modifier cannot be used for values, but can be used for
variables that are passed from one histogram to the next. This was
broken when adding the restriction to values as the variable logic
used the same code.
- Rename the special field "stacktrace" to "common_stacktrace".
Special fields (that are not actually part of the event, but can
act just like event fields, like 'comm' and 'timestamp') should be
prefixed with 'common_' for consistency. To keep backward
compatibility, 'stacktrace' can still be used (as with the special
field 'cpu'), but can be overridden if the event has a field called
'stacktrace'.
- Update the synthetic event selftests to use the new name (synthetic
events are created by histograms)
Tracing bootup selftests:
- Reorganize the code to keep artifacts of the selftests not compiled
in when selftests are not configured.
- Add various cond_resched() around the selftest code, as the
softlock watchdog was triggering much more often. It appears that
the kernel runs slower now with full debugging enabled.
- While debugging ftrace with ftrace (using an instance ring buffer
instead of the top level one), I found that the selftests were
disabling prints to the debug instance.
This should not happen, as the selftests only disable printing to
the main buffer as the selftests examine the main buffer to see if
it has what it expects, and prints can make the tests fail.
Make the selftests only disable printing to the toplevel buffer,
and leave the instance buffers alone"

This reverts commit 9828ed3f695a138f7add89fa2a186ababceb8006.
Sadly, it does seem to cause failures to load modules. Johan Hovold reports:
"This change breaks module loading during boot on the Lenovo Thinkpad
X13s (aarch64).
Specifically it results in indefinite probe deferral of the display
and USB (ethernet) which makes it a pain to debug. Typing in the dark
to acquire some logs reveals that other modules are missing as well"
Since this was applied late as a "let's try this", I'm reverting it
asap, and we can try to figure out what goes wrong later. The excessive
parallel module loading problem is annoying, but not noticeable in
normal situations, and this was only meant as an optimistic workaround
for a user-space bug.
One possible solution may be to do the optimistic exclusive open first,
and then use a lock to serialize loading if that fails.

When all kernel debugging is enabled (lockdep, KSAN, etc), the function
graph enabling and disabling can take several seconds to complete. The
function_graph selftest enables and disables function graph tracing
several times. With full debugging enabled, the soft lockup watchdog was
triggering because the selftest was running without ever scheduling.
Add cond_resched() throughout the test to make sure it does not trigger
the soft lockup detector.

The tracing_selftest_running and tracing_selftest_disabled variables were
to keep trace_printk() and other writes from affecting the tracing
selftests, as the tracing selftests would examine the ring buffer to see
if it contained what it expected or not. trace_printk() and friends could
add to the ring buffer and cause the selftests to fail (and then disable
the tracer that was being tested). To keep that from happening, these
variables were added and would keep trace_printk() and friends from
writing to the ring buffer while the tests were going on.
But this was only the top level ring buffer (owned by the global_trace
instance). There is no reason to prevent writing into ring buffers of
other instances via the trace_array_printk() and friends. For the
functions that could be used by other instances, check if the global_trace
is the tracer instance that is being written to before deciding to not
allow the write.

As there are more and more internal selftests being added to the Linux
kernel (KSAN, lockdep, etc) the selftests are taking longer to run when
these are enabled. Add a cond_resched() to the calling of
do_run_tracer_selftest() to force a schedule if NEED_RESCHED is set,
otherwise the soft lockup watchdog may trigger on boot up.

The variables tracing_selftest_running and tracing_selftest_disabled are
only used for when CONFIG_FTRACE_STARTUP_TEST is enabled. Make them only
visible within the selftest code. The setting of those variables are in
the register_tracer() call, and set in a location where they do not need
to be. Create a wrapper around run_tracer_selftest() called
do_run_tracer_selftest() which sets those variables, and have
register_tracer() call that instead.
Having those variables only set within the CONFIG_FTRACE_STARTUP_TEST
scope gets rid of them (and also the ability to remove testing against
them) when the startup tests are not enabled (most cases).

strlcpy() reads the entire source buffer first.
This read may exceed the destination size limit.
This is both inefficient and can lead to linear read
overflows if a source string is not NUL-terminated [1].
In an effort to remove strlcpy() completely [2], replace
strlcpy() here with strscpy().
No return values were used, so direct replacement with strlcpy is safe.

As discussed at LSF/MM [1] [2] and with no objections raised there,
deprecate the SLAB allocator. Rename the user-visible option so that
users with CONFIG_SLAB=y get a new prompt with explanation during make
oldconfig, while make olddefconfig will just switch to SLUB.
In all defconfigs with CONFIG_SLAB=y remove the line so those also
switch to SLUB. Regressions due to the switch should be reported to
linux-mm and slab maintainers.

to the err_put which tries to unlock the freeze_mutex even though it
was not locked in the first place. Fix it.

It turns out that udev under certain circumstances will concurrently try
to load the same modules over-and-over excessively. This isn't a kernel
bug, but it ends up affecting the kernel, to the point that under
certain circumstances we can fail to boot, because the kernel uses a lot
of memory to read all the module data all at once.
Note that it isn't a memory leak, it's just basically a thundering herd
problem happening at bootup with a lot of CPUs, with the worst cases
then being pretty bad.
Admittedly the worst situations are somewhat contrived: lots and lots of
CPUs, not a lot of memory, and KASAN enabled to make it all slower and
as such (unintentionally) exacerbate the problem.
Luis explains: [1]
"My best assessment of the situation is that each CPU in udev ends up
triggering a load of duplicate set of modules, not just one, but *a
lot*. Not sure what heuristics udev uses to load a set of modules per
CPU."
Petr Pavlu chimes in: [2]
"My understanding is that udev workers are forked. An initial kmod
context is created by the main udevd process but no sharing happens
after the fork. It means that the mentioned memory pool logic doesn't
really kick in.
Multiple parallel load requests come from multiple udev workers, for
instance, each handling an udev event for one CPU device and making
the exactly same requests as all others are doing at the same time.
The optimization idea would be to recognize these duplicate requests
at the udevd/kmod level and converge them"
Note that module loading has tried to mitigate this issue before, see
for example commit 064f4536d139 ("module: avoid allocation if module is
already present and ready"), which has a few ASCII graphs on memory use
due to this same issue.
However, while that noticed that the module was already loaded, and
exited with an error early before spending any more time on setting up
the module, it didn't handle the case of multiple concurrent module
loads all being active - but not complete - at the same time.
Yes, one of them will eventually win the race and finalize its copy, and
the others will then notice that the module already exists and error
out, but while this all happens, we have tons of unnecessary concurrent
work being done.
Again, the real fix is for udev to not do that (maybe it should use
threads instead of fork, and have actual shared data structures and not
cause duplicate work). That real fix is apparently not trivial.
But it turns out that the kernel already has a pretty good model for
dealing with concurrent access to the same file: the i_writecount of the
inode.
In fact, the module loading already indirectly uses 'i_writecount' ,
because 'kernel_file_read()' will in fact do
ret = deny_write_access(file);
if (ret)
return ret;
...
allow_write_access(file);
around the read of the file data. We do not allow concurrent writes to
the file, and return -ETXTBUSY if the file was open for writing at the
same time as the module data is loaded from it.
And the solution to the reader concurrency problem is to simply extend
this "no concurrent writers" logic to simply be "exclusive access".
Note that "exclusive" in this context isn't really some absolute thing:
it's only exclusion from writers and from other "special readers" that
do this writer denial. So we simply introduce a variation of that
"deny_write_access()" logic that not only denies write access, but also
requires that this is the _only_ such access that denies write access.
Which means that you can't start loading a module that is already being
loaded as a module by somebody else, or you will get the same -ETXTBSY
error that you would get if there were writers around.
[ It also means that you can't try to load a currently executing
executable as a module, for the same reason: executables do that same
"deny_write_access()" thing, and that's obviously where the whole
ETXTBSY logic traditionally came from.
This is not a problem for kernel modules, since the set of normal
executable files and kernel module files is entirely disjoint. ]
This new function is called "exclusive_deny_write_access()", and the
implementation is trivial, in that it's just an atomic decrement of
i_writecount if it was 0 before.
To use that new exclusivity check, all we then do is wrap the module
loading with that exclusive_deny_write_access()() / allow_write_access()
pair. The actual patch is a bit bigger than that, because we want to
surround not just the "load file data" part, but the whole module setup,
to get maximum exclusion.
So this ends up splitting up "finit_module()" into a few helper
functions to make it all very clear and legible.
In Luis' test-case (bringing up 255 vcpu's in a virtual machine [3]),
the "wasted vmalloc" space (ie module data read into a vmalloc'ed area
in order to be loaded as a module, but then discarded because somebody
else loaded the same module instead) dropped from 1.8GiB to 474kB. Yes,
that's gigabytes to kilobytes.
It doesn't drop completely to zero, because even with this change, you
can still end up having completely serial pointless module loads, where
one udev process has loaded a module fully (and thus the kernel has
released that exclusive lock on the module file), and then another udev
process tries to load the same module again.
So while we cannot fully get rid of the fundamental bug in user space,
we _can_ get rid of the excessive concurrent thundering herd effect.
A couple of final side notes on this all:
- This tweak only affects the "finit_module()" system call, which gives
the kernel a file descriptor with the module data.
You can also just feed the module data as raw data from user space
with "init_module()" (note the lack of 'f' at the beginning), and
obviously for that case we do _not_ have any "exclusive read" logic.
So if you absolutely want to do things wrong in user space, and try
to load the same module multiple times, and error out only later when
the kernel ends up saying "you can't load the same module name
twice", you can still do that.
And in fact, some distros will do exactly that, because they will
uncompress the kernel module data in user space before feeding it to
the kernel (mainly because they haven't started using the new kernel
side decompression yet).
So this is not some absolute "you can't do concurrent loads of the
same module". It's literally just a very simple heuristic that will
catch it early in case you try to load the exact same module file at
the same time, and in that case avoid a potentially nasty situation.
- There is another user of "deny_write_access()": the verity code that
enables fs-verity on a file (the FS_IOC_ENABLE_VERITY ioctl).
If you use fs-verity and you care about verifying the kernel modules
(which does make sense), you should do it *before* loading said
kernel module. That may sound obvious, but now the implementation
basically requires it. Because if you try to do it concurrently, the
kernel may refuse to load the module file that is being set up by the
fs-verity code.
- This all will obviously mean that if you insist on loading the same
module in parallel, only one module load will succeed, and the others
will return with an error.
That was true before too, but what is different is that the -ETXTBSY
error can be returned *before* the success case of another process
fully loading and instantiating the module.
Again, that might sound obvious, and it is indeed the whole point of
the whole change: we are much quicker to notice the whole "you're
already in the process of loading this module".
So it's very much intentional, but it does mean that if you just
spray the kernel with "finit_module()", and expect that the module is
immediately loaded afterwards without checking the return value, you
are doing something horribly horribly wrong.
I'd like to say that that would never happen, but the whole _reason_
for this commit is that udev is currently doing something horribly
horribly wrong, so ...

Seems like that extra bpf_capable() check in BPF_MAP_FREEZE handler was
unintentionally left when we switched to a model that all BPF map
operations should be allowed regardless of CAP_BPF (or any other
capabilities), as long as process got BPF map FD somehow.
This patch replaces bpf_capable() check in BPF_MAP_FREEZE handler with
writeable access check, given conceptually freezing the map is modifying
it: map becomes unmodifiable for subsequent updates.

if the nr_workers is equal to nr_idle, due to the nr_running is not zero,

Commit bf5e758f02fc ("genirq/msi: Simplify sysfs handling") reworked the
creation of sysfs entries for MSI IRQs. The creation used to be in
msi_domain_alloc_irqs_descs_locked after calling ops->domain_alloc_irqs.
Then it moved into __msi_domain_alloc_irqs which is an implementation of
domain_alloc_irqs. However, Xen comes with the only other implementation
of domain_alloc_irqs and hence doesn't run the sysfs population code
anymore.
Commit 6c796996ee70 ("x86/pci/xen: Fixup fallout from the PCI/MSI
overhaul") set the flag MSI_FLAG_DEV_SYSFS for the xen msi_domain_info
but that doesn't actually have an effect because Xen uses it's own
domain_alloc_irqs implementation.
Fix this by making use of the fallback functions for sysfs population.

The current implementation uses a static bitmap for interrupt descriptor
allocation and a radix tree to pointer store the pointer for lookup.
However, the size of the bitmap is constrained by the build time macro
MAX_SPARSE_IRQS, which may not be sufficient to support high-end servers,
particularly those with GICv4.1 hardware, which require a large interrupt
space to cover LPIs and vSGIs.
Replace the bitmap and the radix tree with a maple tree, which not only
stores pointers for lookup, but also provides a mechanism to find free
ranges. That removes the build time hardcoded upper limit.

The current implementation utilizes a bitmap for managing interrupt resend
handlers, which is allocated based on the SPARSE_IRQ/NR_IRQS macros.
However, this method may not efficiently utilize memory during runtime,
particularly when IRQ_BITMAP_BITS is large.
Address this issue by using an hlist to manage interrupt resend handlers
instead of relying on a static bitmap memory allocation. Additionally, a
new function, clear_irq_resend(), is introduced and called from
irq_shutdown to ensure a graceful teardown of the interrupt.

The preempt_disable() section in module_put() was added in commit
e1783a240f491 ("module: Use this_cpu_xx to dynamically allocate counters")
while the per-CPU counter were switched to another API. The API requires
that during the RMW operation the CPU remained the same.
This counting API was later replaced with atomic_t in commit
2f35c41f58a97 ("module: Replace module_ref with atomic_t refcnt")
Since this atomic_t replacement there is no need to keep preemption
disabled while the reference counter is modified.

try_module_get().

This is part of the general push to deprecate register_sysctl_paths and
register_sysctl_table. The old way of doing this through
register_sysctl_base and DECLARE_SYSCTL_BASE macro is replaced with a
call to register_sysctl_init. The 5 base paths affected are: "kernel",
"vm", "debug", "dev" and "fs".
We remove the register_sysctl_base function and the DECLARE_SYSCTL_BASE
macro since they are no longer needed.
In order to quickly acertain that the paths did not actually change I
executed `find /proc/sys/ | sha1sum` and made sure that the sha was the
same before and after the commit.

The histogram and synthetic events can use a pseudo event called
"stacktrace" that will create a stacktrace at the time of the event and
use it just like it was a normal field. We have other pseudo events such
as "common_cpu" and "common_timestamp". To stay consistent with that,
convert "stacktrace" to "common_stacktrace". As this was used in older
kernels, to keep backward compatibility, this will act just like
"common_cpu" did with "cpu". That is, "cpu" will be the same as
"common_cpu" unless the event has a "cpu" field. In which case, the
event's field is used. The same is true with "stacktrace".
Also update the documentation to reflect this change.

Modifiers are used to change the behavior of keys. For instance, they
can grouped into buckets, converted to syscall names (from the syscall
identifier), show task->comm of the current pid, be an array of longs
that represent a stacktrace, and more.
It was found that nothing stopped a value from taking a modifier. As
values are simple counters. If this happened, it would call code that
was not expecting a modifier and crash the kernel. This was fixed by
having the ___create_val_field() function test if a modifier was present
and fail if one was. This fixed the crash.
Now there's a problem with variables. Variables are used to pass fields
from one event to another. Variables are allowed to have some modifiers,
as the processing may need to happen at the time of the event (like
stacktraces and comm names of the current pid). The issue is that it too
uses __create_val_field(). Now that fails on modifiers, variables can no
longer use them (this is a regression).
As not all modifiers are for variables, have them use a separate check.

During 6.4 development it became clear that the one-shot list used by
the user_event_mm's next field was confusing to others. It is not clear
how this list is protected or what the next field usage is for unless
you are familiar with the code.
Add comments into the user_event_mm struct indicating lock requirement
and usage. Also document how and why this approach was used via comments
in both user_event_enabler_update() and user_event_mm_get_all() and the
rules to properly use it.

Currently most list_head fields of various structs within user_events
are simply named link. This causes folks to keep additional context in
their head when working with the code, which can be confusing.
Instead of using link, describe what the actual link is, for example:
list_del_rcu(&mm->link);
Changes into:
list_del_rcu(&mm->mms_link);
The reader now is given a hint the link is to the mms global list
instead of having to remember or spot check within the code.

pin_user_pages_remote() can reschedule which means we cannot hold any
RCU lock while using it. Now that enablers are not exposed out to the
tracing register callbacks during fork(), there is clearly no need to
require the RCU lock as event_mutex is enough to protect changes.
Remove unneeded RCU usages when pinning pages and walking enablers with
event_mutex held. Cleanup a misleading "safe" list walk that is not
needed. During fork() duplication, remove unneeded RCU list add, since
the list is not exposed yet.

When a new mm is being created in a fork() path it currently is
allocated and then attached in one go. This leaves the mm exposed out to
the tracing register callbacks while any parent enabler locations are
copied in. This should not happen.
Split up mm alloc and attach as unique operations. When duplicating
enablers, first alloc, then duplicate, and only upon success, attach.
This prevents any timing window outside of the event_reg mutex for
enablement walking. This allows for dropping RCU requirement for
enablement walking in later patches.

Current UAPI of BPF_OBJ_PIN and BPF_OBJ_GET commands of bpf() syscall
forces users to specify pinning location as a string-based absolute or
relative (to current working directory) path. This has various
implications related to security (e.g., symlink-based attacks), forces
BPF FS to be exposed in the file system, which can cause races with
other applications.
One of the feedbacks we got from folks working with containers heavily
was that inability to use purely FD-based location specification was an
unfortunate limitation and hindrance for BPF_OBJ_PIN and BPF_OBJ_GET
commands. This patch closes this oversight, adding path_fd field to
BPF_OBJ_PIN and BPF_OBJ_GET UAPI, following conventions established by
*at() syscalls for dirfd + pathname combinations.
This now allows interesting possibilities like working with detached BPF
FS mount (e.g., to perform multiple pinnings without running a risk of
someone interfering with them), and generally making pinning/getting
more secure and not prone to any races and/or security attacks.
This is demonstrated by a selftest added in subsequent patch that takes
advantage of new mount APIs (fsopen, fsconfig, fsmount) to demonstrate
creating detached BPF FS mount, pinning, and then getting BPF map out of
it, all while never exposing this private instance of BPF FS to outside
worlds.

cpuhp_bringup_mask() iterates over a cpumask and starts all present CPUs up
to a caller provided upper limit.
The limit variable is decremented and checked for 0 before invoking
cpu_up(), which is obviously off by one and prevents the bringup of the
last CPU when the limit is equal to the number of present CPUs.
Move the decrement and check after the cpu_up() invocation.

While testing rtla timerlat auto analysis, I reach a condition where
the interface was not receiving tracing data. I was able to manually
reproduce the problem with these steps:
# echo 0 > tracing_on # disable trace
# echo 1 > osnoise/stop_tracing_us # stop trace if timerlat irq > 1 us
# echo timerlat > current_tracer # enable timerlat tracer
# sleep 1 # wait... that is the time when rtla
# apply configs like prio or cgroup
# echo 1 > tracing_on # start tracing
# cat trace
# tracer: timerlat
#
# _-----=> irqs-off
# / _----=> need-resched
# | / _---=> hardirq/softirq
# || / _--=> preempt-depth
# ||| / _-=> migrate-disable
# |||| / delay
# ||||| ACTIVATION
# TASK-PID CPU# ||||| TIMESTAMP ID CONTEXT LATENCY
# | | | ||||| | | | |
NOTHING!
Then, trying to enable tracing again with echo 1 > tracing_on resulted
in no change: the trace was still not tracing.
This problem happens because the timerlat IRQ hits the stop tracing
condition while tracing is off, and do not wake up the timerlat thread,
so the timerlat threads are kept sleeping forever, resulting in no
trace, even after re-enabling the tracer.
Avoid this condition by always waking up the threads, even after stopping
tracing, allowing the tracer to return to its normal operating after
a new tracing on.
