Forcing a signal or not allowing a pid namespace init to ignore
SIGKILL or SIGSTOP is more cleanly computed in send_signal.
There are two cases where we don't allow a pid namespace init
to ignore SIGKILL or SIGSTOP. If the sending process is
from an ancestor pid namespace and as such is effectively
the god to the target process, and if the it is the kernel
that is sending the signal, not another application.
It is known that a process is from an ancestor pid namespace if
it can see it's target but it's target does not have a pid for
the sender in it's pid namespace.
It is know that a signal is sent from the kernel if si_code is set to
SI_KERNEL or info is SEND_SIG_PRIV (which ultimately generates
a signal with si_code == SI_KERNEL).
The only signals that matter are SIGKILL and SIGSTOP neither of
which can really be caught, and both of which always have a siginfo
layout that includes si_uid and si_pid. Therefore we never need
to worry about forcing a signal when si_pid and si_uid are absent.
So handle the two special cases of info and the case when si_pid and
si_uid are present.

Any time siginfo is not stored in the signal queue information is
lost. Therefore set TRACE_SIGNAL_LOSE_INFO every time the code does
not allocate a signal queue entry, and a queue overflow abort is not
triggered.

As synchronous exceptions really only make sense against the current
task (otherwise how are you synchronous) remove the task parameter
from from force_sig_fault to make it explicit that is what is going
on.
The two known exceptions that deliver a synchronous exception to a
stopped ptraced task have already been changed to
force_sig_fault_to_task.
The callers have been changed with the following emacs regular expression
(with obvious variations on the architectures that take more arguments)
to avoid typos:
force_sig_fault[(]\([^,]+\)[,]\([^,]+\)[,]\([^,]+\)[,]\W+current[)]
->
force_sig_fault(\1,\2,\3)

current
In preparation for removing the task parameter from force_sig_fault
introduce force_sig_fault_to_task and use it for the two cases where
it matters.
On mips force_fcr31_sig calls force_sig_fault and is called on either
the current task, or a task that is suspended and is being switched to
by the scheduler. This is safe because the task being switched to by
the scheduler is guaranteed to be suspended. This ensures that
task->sighand is stable while the signal is delivered to it.
On parisc user_enable_single_step calls force_sig_fault and is in turn
called by ptrace_request. The function ptrace_request always calls
user_enable_single_step on a child that is stopped for tracing. The
child being traced and not reaped ensures that child->sighand is not
NULL, and that the child will not change child->sighand.

The field operator is ignored on several string fields. WATCH, DIR,
PERM and FILETYPE field operators are completely ignored and meaningless
since the op is not referenced in audit_filter_rules(). Range and
bitwise operators are already addressed in ghak73.

However, predicate_parse() does not free the predicates of the

Various security techniques can obfuscate pointer printouts on the
console. Unfortunately, rcutorture relies on either "null" or all zeroes
to identify the last few statistics printouts at the end of the test.
These need to be identified because failing to do so will results in
false-positive complaints about grace-period hangs.
This commit therefore prints the "ver:" in capitals ("VER:") when
the RCU-protected pointer has been set to NULL, which causes rcutorture's
parse-console.sh script to correctly ignore these lines.

I have been showing off a trivial RCU implementation for non-preemptive
environments for some time now:
#define rcu_read_lock()
#define rcu_read_unlock()
#define rcu_dereference(p) READ_ONCE(p)
#define rcu_assign_pointer(p, v) smp_store_release(&(p), (v))
void synchronize_rcu(void)
{
int cpu;
for_each_online_cpu(cpu)
sched_setaffinity(current->pid, cpumask_of(cpu));
}
Trivial or not, as the old saying goes, "if it ain't tested, it don't
work!". This commit therefore adds a "trivial" flavor to rcutorture
and a corresponding TRIVIAL test scenario. This variant does not handle
CPU hotplug, which is unconditionally enabled on x86 for post-v5.1-rc3
kernels, which is why the TRIVIAL.boot says "rcutorture.onoff_interval=0".
This commit actually does handle CONFIG_PREEMPT=y kernels, but only
because it turns back the Linux-kernel clock in order to provide these
alternative definitions (or the moral equivalent thereof):
#define rcu_read_lock() preempt_disable()
#define rcu_read_unlock() preempt_enable()
In CONFIG_PREEMPT=n kernels without debugging, these are equivalent to
empty macros give or take a compiler barrier. However, the have been
successfully tested with actual empty macros as well.

Once removed, an rcu_torture element can be deferred-freed by a chain
of call_rcu() invocations, with each callback invoking another round of
call_rcu() until either a fixed number of call_rcu() invocations have
been chained or until the test ends. This means that if the test ends,
some of the rcu_torture elements will be "stranded" partway through the
deferred-free process, which results in false-positive warnings from
rcu_torture_writer() due to lack of forward progress should the test
end just at the end of a stutter interval.
This commit therefore suppresses rcu_torture_writer()'s forward-progress
checks when the test ends in order to avoid these false-positive reports..

In !PREEMPT kernels, cond_resched() is a no-op. In NO_HZ_FULL kernels,
in-kernel execution (such as that of rcutorture's kthreads) might extend
indefinitely without the scheduler gaining the aid of a scheduling-clock
interrupt. This combination can make the interaction of an rcutorture
forward-progress test and a CPU-hotplug stop_machine operation make less
forward progress than one might like. Additionally, Sebastian Siewior
notes that NO_HZ_FULL kernels have a scheduler check upon return to
userspace execution, which suggests that in-kernel emulation of tight
userspace loops containing system calls doing call_rcu() might also need
explicit checks in the PREEMPT && NO_HZ_FULL case.
This commit therefore introduces a rcu_torture_fwd_prog_cond_resched()
function that explicitly invokes schedule() in such kernels whenever
need_resched() returns true, while retaining use of cond_resched()
for kernels that are either !PREEMPT or !NO_HZ_FULL.

After the end of each stutter pause interval, the rcu_torture_writer()
kthread checks to be sure that all prior callbacks have completed so

This commit therefore exempts tasks RCU from this check.

Currently, the inter-stutter interval is the same as the stutter duration,
that is, whatever number of jiffies is passed into torture_stutter_init().
This has worked well for quite some time, but the addition of
forward-progress testing to rcutorture can delay processes for several
seconds, which can triple the time that they are stuttered.
This commit therefore adds a second argument to torture_stutter_init()
that specifies the inter-stutter interval. While locktorture preserves
the current behavior, rcutorture uses the RCU CPU stall warning interval
to provide a wider inter-stutter interval.

The stutter_wait() function is supposed to return true if it actually
waits and false otherwise, but it instead unconditionally returns false.
Which hides a bug in rcu_torture_writer() that fails to account for
the fact that one of the rcu_tortures[] array elements will normally be
referenced by rcu_torture_current, and thus not be on the freelist.
This commit therefore corrects the stutter_wait() return value and adds a
check for rcu_torture_current to rcu_torture_writer()'s check that things
get freed after everything goes quiescent. In addition, this commit
causes torture_stutter() to give a bit more than one second (instead of
only one jiffy) warning of the end of the stutter interval. Finally,
this commit disables long-delay readers and aggressive update-side
forward-progress checks while forward-progress testing is in flight.

The rcu_torture_fwd_prog_cbfree() function frees callbacks used during
rcutorture's call_rcu() forward-progress test, but does so in a tight
loop. This could cause problems given a very long list of callbacks to be
freed, and actual testing produces lists with as many as 25M callbacks.
This commit therefore adds a cond_resched() to this loop. While in
the area, this commit also rearranges the lock releases to look a bit
more sane.

With this patch rcu_sync has a single state variable and the transition rules
become really simple:
GP_IDLE - owned by the first rcu_sync_enter() which moves it to
GP_ENTER - owned by rcu-callback which moves it to
GP_PASSED - owned by the last rcu_sync_exit() which moves it to
GP_EXIT - and this is the only "nontrivial" state.
rcu-callback moves it back to GP_IDLE unless another enter()
comes before a GP pass.
If rcu-callback is invoked before the next rcu_sync_exit() it
must see gp_count incremented by that enter() and set GP_PASSED.
Otherwise, if the next rcu_sync_exit() wins the race, it will
move it to
GP_REPLAY - owned by rcu-callback which moves it to GP_EXIT

Adding DEFINE_SRCU() or DEFINE_STATIC_SRCU() to a loadable module requires
that the size of the reserved region be increased, which is not something
we want to be doing all that often. One approach would be to require
that loadable modules define an srcu_struct and invoke init_srcu_struct()
from their module_init function and cleanup_srcu_struct() from their
module_exit function. However, this is more than a bit user unfriendly.
This commit therefore creates an ___srcu_struct_ptrs linker section,
and pointers to srcu_struct structures created by DEFINE_SRCU() and
DEFINE_STATIC_SRCU() within a module are placed into that module's
___srcu_struct_ptrs section. The required init_srcu_struct() and
cleanup_srcu_struct() functions are then automatically invoked as needed
when that module is loaded and unloaded, thus allowing modules to continue
to use DEFINE_SRCU() and DEFINE_STATIC_SRCU() while avoiding the need
to increase the size of the reserved region.
Many of the algorithms and some of the code was cheerfully cherry-picked
from other code making use of linker sections, perhaps most notably from
tracepoints. All bugs are nevertheless the sole property of the author.

It would be good to combine the dynticks and dynticks_nesting counters
in order to simplify the code. Unfortunately, there are concerns
about usermode upcalls appearing to RCU as half of an interrupt, as
Byungchul learned [1]. The "half" in "half interrupt" is due to an
unpaired rcu_irq_enter(): Normally, each rcu_irq_enter() has a later
call to rcu_irq_exit().
Out of an abundance of caution, Paul added warnings [2] in the RCU
code which if not fired by 2021 will be interpreted as meaning that
this half-interrupt scenario cannot happen any more, thus permitting
simplification of this code.
In the meantime, this commit makes the following changes:
(1) Combining these two counters requires that rcu_rrupt_from_idle()
is invoked only from hard-interrupt contexts as discussed here [3].
This commit therefore adds the required lockdep_assert_in_irq()
to check this constraint.
(2) Furthermore, rcu_rrupt_from_idle() is not explicit about how it
is using the counters which can lead to weird future bugs. This
commit therefore adds comments indicating the meaning and use of
each counter.
(3) Lastly, this commit checks for counter underflows as another check
that half interrupts don't occur. (Previously, the function would
simply return true upon underflow.)
All these checks checks are NOOPs if PROVE_LOCKING (and thus PROVE_RCU)
are disabled.

The locking in force_sig_info is not prepared to deal with a task that
exits or execs (as sighand may change). The is not a locking problem
in force_sig as force_sig is only built to handle synchronous
exceptions.
Further the function force_sig_info changes the signal state if the
signal is ignored, or blocked or if SIGNAL_UNKILLABLE will prevent the
delivery of the signal. The signal SIGKILL can not be ignored and can
not be blocked and SIGNAL_UNKILLABLE won't prevent it from being
delivered.
So using force_sig rather than send_sig for SIGKILL is confusing
and pointless.
Because it won't impact the sending of the signal and and because
using force_sig is wrong, replace force_sig with send_sig.

On systems with ACPI platform firmware the last stage of hibernation
is analogous to system suspend to S3 (suspend-to-RAM), so it should
be handled analogously. In particular, pm_suspend_via_firmware()
should return 'true' in that stage to let the callers of it know that
control will be passed to the platform firmware going forward, so
pm_set_suspend_via_firmware() needs to be called then in analogy with
acpi_suspend_begin().
However, the platform hibernation ->begin() callback is invoked
during the "freeze" transition (before creating a snapshot image of
system memory) as well as during the "hibernate" transition which is
the last stage of it and pm_set_suspend_via_firmware() should be
invoked by that callback in the latter stage only.
In order to implement that redefine the hibernation ->begin()
callback to take a pm_message_t argument to indicate which stage
of hibernation is taking place and rework acpi_hibernation_begin()
and acpi_hibernation_begin_old() to take it into account as needed.

Pull tracing warning fix from Steven Rostedt:
"Make the GCC 9 warning for sub struct memset go away.
GCC 9 now warns about calling memset() on partial structures when it

* tag 'trace-v5.2-rc1-2' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/rostedt/linux-trace:
tracing: Silence GCC 9 array bounds warning
|
|
Starting with GCC 9, -Warray-bounds detects cases when memset is called
starting on a member of a struct but the size to be cleared ends up
writing over further members.
Such a call happens in the trace code to clear, at once, all members
after and including `seq` on struct trace_iterator:
In function 'memset',
inlined from 'ftrace_dump' at kernel/trace/trace.c:8914:3:
./include/linux/string.h:344:9: warning: '__builtin_memset' offset

referenced subobject 'seq' with type 'struct trace_seq' at offset
4368 [-Warray-bounds]
344 | return __builtin_memset(p, c, size);
| ^~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
In order to avoid GCC complaining about it, we compute the address
ourselves by adding the offsetof distance instead of referring
directly to the member.
Since there are two places doing this clear (trace.c and trace_kdb.c),
take the chance to move the workaround into a single place in
the internal header.

The sync_sched_exp_online_cleanup() is invoked at online time to handle
the case where the start of an expedited grace period ran concurrently
with a CPU being taken offline and then immediately being placed online.
It checks to see if RCU needs an expedited quiescent state from the
incoming CPU, sending it an IPI if so. However, it is quite possible
that sync_sched_exp_online_cleanup() is running on that CPU, in which
case it is considerably less overhead to simply request the quiescent
state locally instead of simulating a self-IPI.
This commit therefore places the last few lines of rcu_exp_handler()
into a new rcu_exp_need_qs() function, which is invoked both by
rcu_exp_handler() and by sync_sched_exp_online_cleanup() in the self-IPI
case.
This also reduces the rcu_exp_handler() function's state space by
removing the direct call that this smp_call_function_single() uses to
emulate the requested self-IPI. This in turn will allow tighter error
checking in rcu_is_cpu_rrupt_from_idle().

Although sync_rcu_exp_select_node_cpus() treats the current CPU as being
in a quiescent state, it might well migrate to some other CPU before
reaching the smp_call_function_single(), which could then result in an
unnecessary simulated self-IPI. This commit therefore instead simply
refuses to invoke smp_call_function_single() on the current CPU, which
causes the later rcu_report_exp_cpu_mult() to report this CPU's quiescent
state with less overhead.
This also reduces the rcu_exp_handler() function's state space by removing
the direct call that this smp_call_function_single() uses to emulate the
requested self-IPI.

When rcu_read_unlock_special() is invoked with interrupts disabled, is
either not in an interrupt handler or is not using RCU_SOFTIRQ, is not
the first RCU read-side critical section in the chain, and either there
is an expedited grace period in flight or this is a NO_HZ_FULL kernel,
the end of the grace period can be unduly delayed. The reason for this
is that it is not safe to do wakeups in this situation.
This commit fixes this problem by using the irq_work subsystem to
force a later interrupt handler in a clean environment. Because
set_tsk_need_resched(current) and set_preempt_need_resched() are
invoked prior to this, the scheduler will force a context switch
upon return from this interrupt (though perhaps at the end of any
interrupted preempt-disable or BH-disable region of code), which will
invoke rcu_note_context_switch() (again in a clean environment), which
will in turn give RCU the chance to report the deferred quiescent state.
Of course, by then this task might be within another RCU read-side
critical section. But that will be detected at that time and reporting
will be further deferred to the outermost rcu_read_unlock(). See
rcu_preempt_need_deferred_qs() and rcu_preempt_deferred_qs() for more
details on the checking.

When running in an interrupt handler, raise_softirq() and
raise_softirq_irqoff() have extremely low overhead: They simply set a
bit in a per-CPU mask, which is checked upon exit from that interrupt
handler. Therefore, if rcu_read_unlock_special() is invoked within an
interrupt handler and RCU_SOFTIRQ is in use, this commit make use of
raise_softirq_irqoff() even if there is no expedited grace period in
flight and even if this is not a nohz_full CPU.

Currently, rcu_read_unlock_special() will do wakeups whenever it is safe
to do so. However, wakeups are expensive, and they are only really
needed when the just-ended RCU read-side critical section is blocking
an expedited grace period (in which case speed is of the essence)
or on a nohz_full CPU (where it might be a good long time before an
interrupt arrives). This commit therefore checks for these conditions,
and does the expensive wakeups only if doing so would be useful.
Note it can be rather expensive to determine whether or not the current
task (as opposed to the current CPU) is blocking the current expedited
grace period. Doing so requires traversing the ->blkd_tasks list, which
can be quite long. This commit therefore cheats: If the current task
is on a given ->blkd_tasks list, and some task on that list is blocking
the current expedited grace period, the code assumes that the current
task is blocking that expedited grace period.

When RCU core processing is offloaded from RCU_SOFTIRQ to the rcuc
kthreads, a full and unconditional wakeup is required to initiate RCU
core processing. In contrast, when RCU core processing is carried
out by RCU_SOFTIRQ, a raise_softirq() suffices. Of course, there are
situations where raise_softirq() does a full wakeup, but these do not
occur with normal usage of rcu_read_unlock().
The reason that full wakeups can be problematic is that the scheduler
sometimes invokes rcu_read_unlock() with its pi or rq locks held,
which can of course result in deadlock in CONFIG_PREEMPT=y kernels when
rcu_read_unlock() invokes the scheduler. Scheduler invocations can happen
in the following situations: (1) The just-ended reader has been subjected
to RCU priority boosting, in which case rcu_read_unlock() must deboost,
(2) Interrupts were disabled across the call to rcu_read_unlock(), so
the quiescent state must be deferred, requiring a wakeup of the rcuc
kthread corresponding to the current CPU.
Now, the scheduler may hold one of its locks across rcu_read_unlock()
only if preemption has been disabled across the entire RCU read-side
critical section, which in the days prior to RCU flavor consolidation
meant that rcu_read_unlock() never needed to do wakeups. However, this
is no longer the case for any but the first rcu_read_unlock() following a
condition (e.g., preempted RCU reader) requiring special rcu_read_unlock()
attention. For example, an RCU read-side critical section might be
preempted, but preemption might be disabled across the rcu_read_unlock().
The rcu_read_unlock() must defer the quiescent state, and therefore
leaves the task queued on its leaf rcu_node structure. If a scheduler
interrupt occurs, the scheduler might well invoke rcu_read_unlock() with
one of its locks held. However, the preempted task is still queued, so
rcu_read_unlock() will attempt to defer the quiescent state once more.
When RCU core processing is carried out by RCU_SOFTIRQ, this works just
fine: The raise_softirq() function simply sets a bit in a per-CPU mask
and the RCU core processing will be undertaken upon return from interrupt.
Not so when RCU core processing is carried out by the rcuc kthread: In this
case, the required wakeup can result in deadlock.
The initial solution to this problem was to use set_tsk_need_resched() and
set_preempt_need_resched() to force a future context switch, which allows
rcu_preempt_note_context_switch() to report the deferred quiescent state
to RCU's core processing. Unfortunately for expedited grace periods,
there can be a significant delay between the call for a context switch
and the actual context switch.
This commit therefore introduces a ->deferred_qs flag to the task_struct
structure's rcu_special structure. This flag is initially false, and
is set to true by the first call to rcu_read_unlock() requiring special
attention, then finally reset back to false when the quiescent state is
finally reported. Then rcu_read_unlock() attempts full wakeups only when
->deferred_qs is false, that is, on the first rcu_read_unlock() requiring
special attention. Note that a chain of RCU readers linked by some other
sort of reader may find that a later rcu_read_unlock() is once again able
to do a full wakeup, courtesy of an intervening preemption:
rcu_read_lock();
/* preempted */
local_irq_disable();
rcu_read_unlock(); /* Can do full wakeup, sets ->deferred_qs. */
rcu_read_lock();
local_irq_enable();
preempt_disable()
rcu_read_unlock(); /* Cannot do full wakeup, ->deferred_qs set. */
rcu_read_lock();
preempt_enable();
/* preempted, >deferred_qs reset. */
local_irq_disable();
rcu_read_unlock(); /* Can again do full wakeup, sets ->deferred_qs. */
Such linked RCU readers do not yet seem to appear in the Linux kernel, and
it is probably best if they don't. However, RCU needs to handle them, and
some variations on this theme could make even raise_softirq() unsafe due to
the possibility of its doing a full wakeup. This commit therefore also
avoids invoking raise_softirq() when the ->deferred_qs set flag is set.

Some workloads need to change kthread priority for RCU core processing
without affecting other softirq work. This commit therefore introduces
the rcutree.use_softirq kernel boot parameter, which moves the RCU core
work from softirq to a per-CPU SCHED_OTHER kthread named rcuc. Use of
SCHED_OTHER approach avoids the scalability problems that appeared
with the earlier attempt to move RCU core processing to from softirq
to kthreads. That said, kernels built with RCU_BOOST=y will run the
rcuc kthreads at the RCU-boosting priority.
Note that rcutree.use_softirq=0 must be specified to move RCU core
processing to the rcuc kthreads: rcutree.use_softirq=1 is the default.

The kernel test robot has reported that the use of __this_cpu_add()
causes bug messages like:
BUG: using __this_cpu_add() in preemptible [00000000] code: ...
Given the imprecise nature of the count and the possibility of resetting
the count and doing the measurement again, this is not really a big
problem to use the unprotected __this_cpu_*() functions.
To make the preemption checking code happy, the this_cpu_*() functions
will be used if CONFIG_DEBUG_PREEMPT is defined.
The imprecise nature of the locking counts are also documented with
the suggestion that we should run the measurement a few times with the
counts reset in between to get a better picture of what is going on
under the hood.
