2023-09-13mm: Remove kmem_valid_obj()Zhen Lei
Function kmem_dump_obj() will splat if passed a pointer to a non-slab object. So nothing calls it directly, instead calling kmem_valid_obj() first to determine whether the passed pointer to a valid slab object. This means that merging kmem_valid_obj() into kmem_dump_obj() will make the code more concise. Therefore, convert kmem_dump_obj() to work the same way as vmalloc_dump_obj(), removing the need for the kmem_dump_obj() caller to check kmem_valid_obj(). After this, there are no remaining calls to kmem_valid_obj() anymore, and it can be safely removed.

git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/trace/linux-trace Pull tracing fixes from Steven Rostedt: - Add missing LOCKDOWN checks for eventfs callers When LOCKDOWN is active for tracing, it causes inconsistent state when some functions succeed and others fail. - Use dput() to free the top level eventfs descriptor There was a race between accesses and freeing it. - Fix a long standing bug that eventfs exposed due to changing timings by dynamically creating files. That is, If a event file is opened for an instance, there's nothing preventing the instance from being removed which will make accessing the files cause use-after-free bugs. - Fix a ring buffer race that happens when iterating over the ring buffer while writers are active. Check to make sure not to read the event meta data if it's beyond the end of the ring buffer sub buffer. - Fix the print trigger that disappeared because the test to create it was looking for the event dir field being filled, but now it has the "ef" field filled for the eventfs structure. - Remove the unused "dir" field from the event structure. - Fix the order of the trace_dynamic_info as it had it backwards for the offset and len fields for which one was for which endianess. - Fix NULL pointer dereference with eventfs_remove_rec() If an allocation fails in one of the eventfs_add_*() functions, the caller of it in event_subsystem_dir() or event_create_dir() assigns the result to the structure. But it's assigning the ERR_PTR and not NULL. This was passed to eventfs_remove_rec() which expects either a good pointer or a NULL, not ERR_PTR. The fix is to not assign the ERR_PTR to the structure, but to keep it NULL on error. - Fix list_for_each_rcu() to use list_for_each_srcu() in dcache_dir_open_wrapper(). One iteration of the code used RCU but because it had to call sleepable code, it had to be changed to use SRCU, but one of the iterations was missed. - Fix synthetic event print function to use "as_u64" instead of passing in a pointer to the union. To fix big/little endian issues, the u64 that represented several types was turned into a union to define the types properly. * tag 'trace-v6.6-rc1' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/trace/linux-trace: eventfs: Fix the NULL pointer dereference bug in eventfs_remove_rec() tracefs/eventfs: Use list_for_each_srcu() in dcache_dir_open_wrapper() tracing/synthetic: Print out u64 values properly tracing/synthetic: Fix order of struct trace_dynamic_info selftests/ftrace: Fix dependencies for some of the synthetic event tests tracing: Remove unused trace_event_file dir field tracing: Use the new eventfs descriptor for print trigger ring-buffer: Do not attempt to read past "commit" tracefs/eventfs: Free top level files on removal ring-buffer: Avoid softlockup in ring_buffer_resize() tracing: Have event inject files inc the trace array ref count tracing: Have option files inc the trace array ref count tracing: Have current_trace inc the trace array ref count tracing: Have tracing_max_latency inc the trace array ref count tracing: Increase trace array ref count on enable and filter files tracefs/eventfs: Use dput to free the toplevel events directory tracefs/eventfs: Add missing lockdown checks tracefs: Add missing lockdown check to tracefs_create_dir()
2023-09-13firmware: qcom_scm: Add support for Qualcomm Secure Execution Environment ↵Maximilian Luz
SCM interface Add support for SCM calls to Secure OS and the Secure Execution Environment (SEE) residing in the TrustZone (TZ) via the QSEECOM interface. This allows communication with Secure/TZ applications, for example 'uefisecapp' managing access to UEFI variables. For better separation, make qcom_scm spin up a dedicated child (platform) device in case QSEECOM support has been detected. The corresponding driver for this device is then responsible for managing any QSEECOM clients. Specifically, this driver attempts to automatically detect known and supported applications, creating a client (auxiliary) device for each one. The respective client/auxiliary driver is then responsible for managing and communicating with the application. While this patch introduces only a very basic interface without the more advanced features (such as re-entrant and blocking SCM calls and listeners/callbacks), this is enough to talk to the aforementioned 'uefisecapp'.

2023-09-13NFSv4.1: fix pnfs MDS=DS session trunkingOlga Kornievskaia
Currently, when GETDEVICEINFO returns multiple locations where each is a different IP but the server's identity is same as MDS, then nfs4_set_ds_client() finds the existing nfs_client structure which has the MDS's max_connect value (and if it's 1), then the 1st IP on the DS's list will get dropped due to MDS trunking rules. Other IPs would be added as they fall under the pnfs trunking rules. For the list of IPs the 1st goes thru calling nfs4_set_ds_client() which will eventually call nfs4_add_trunk() and call into rpc_clnt_test_and_add_xprt() which has the check for MDS trunking. The other IPs (after the 1st one), would call rpc_clnt_add_xprt() which doesn't go thru that check. nfs4_add_trunk() is called when MDS trunking is happening and it needs to enforce the usage of max_connect mount option of the 1st mount. However, this shouldn't be applied to pnfs flow. Instead, this patch proposed to treat MDS=DS as DS trunking and make sure that MDS's max_connect limit does not apply to the 1st IP returned in the GETDEVICEINFO list. It does so by marking the newly created client with a new flag NFS_CS_PNFS which then used to pass max_connect value to use into the rpc_clnt_test_and_add_xprt() instead of the existing rpc client's max_connect value set by the MDS connection. For example, mount was done without max_connect value set so MDS's rpc client has cl_max_connect=1. Upon calling into rpc_clnt_test_and_add_xprt() and using rpc client's value, the caller passes in max_connect value which is previously been set in the pnfs path (as a part of handling GETDEVICEINFO list of IPs) in nfs4_set_ds_client(). However, when NFS_CS_PNFS flag is not set and we know we are doing MDS trunking, comparing a new IP of the same server, we then set the max_connect value to the existing MDS's value and pass that into rpc_clnt_test_and_add_xprt().

2023-09-13smp: Change function signatures to use call_single_data_tLeonardo Bras
call_single_data_t is a size-aligned typedef of struct __call_single_data. This alignment is desirable in order to have smp_call_function*() avoid bouncing an extra cacheline in case of an unaligned csd, given this would hurt performance. Since the removal of struct request->csd in commit 660e802c76c8 ("blk-mq: use percpu csd to remote complete instead of per-rq csd") there are no current users of smp_call_function*() with unaligned csd. Change every 'struct __call_single_data' function parameter to 'call_single_data_t', so we have warnings if any new code tries to introduce an smp_call_function*() call with unaligned csd.

2023-09-12x86/numa: Introduce numa_fill_memblks()Alison Schofield
numa_fill_memblks() fills in the gaps in numa_meminfo memblks over an physical address range. The ACPI driver will use numa_fill_memblks() to implement a new Linux policy that prescribes extending proximity domains in a portion of a CFMWS window to the entire window. Dan Williams offered this explanation of the policy: A CFWMS is an ACPI data structure that indicates *potential* locations where CXL memory can be placed. It is the playground where the CXL driver has free reign to establish regions. That space can be populated by BIOS created regions, or driver created regions, after hotplug or other reconfiguration. When BIOS creates a region in a CXL Window it additionally describes that subset of the Window range in the other typical ACPI tables SRAT, SLIT, and HMAT. The rationale for BIOS not pre-describing the entire CXL Window in SRAT, SLIT, and HMAT is that it can not predict the future. I.e. there is nothing stopping higher or lower performance devices being placed in the same Window. Compare that to ACPI memory hotplug that just onlines additional capacity in the proximity domain with little freedom for dynamic performance differentiation. That leaves the OS with a choice, should unpopulated window capacity match the proximity domain of an existing region, or should it allocate a new one? This patch takes the simple position of minimizing proximity domain proliferation by reusing any proximity domain intersection for the entire Window. If the Window has no intersections then allocate a new proximity domain. Note that SRAT, SLIT and HMAT information can be enumerated dynamically in a standard way from device provided data. Think of CXL as the end of ACPI needing to describe memory attributes, CXL offers a standard discovery model for performance attributes, but Linux still needs to interoperate with the old regime.

From commit e411901c0b775a3a ("bpf: allow for tailcalls in BPF subprograms for x64 JIT"), tailcall is able to run in BPF subprograms on x64. From commit 5b92a28aae4dd0f8 ("bpf: Support attaching tracing BPF program to other BPF programs"), BPF program is able to trace other BPF programs. How about combining them all together? 1. FENTRY/FEXIT on a BPF subprogram. 2. A tailcall runs in the BPF subprogram. 3. The tailcall calls the subprogram's caller. As a result, a tailcall infinite loop comes up. And the loop would halt the machine. As we know, in tail call context, the tail_call_cnt propagates by stack and rax register between BPF subprograms. So do in trampolines.

2023-09-12tcp: defer regular ACK while processing socket backlogEric Dumazet
This idea came after a particular workload requested the quickack attribute set on routes, and a performance drop was noticed for large bulk transfers. For high throughput flows, it is best to use one cpu running the user thread issuing socket system calls, and a separate cpu to process incoming packets from BH context. (With TSO/GRO, bottleneck is usually the 'user' cpu) Problem is the user thread can spend a lot of time while holding the socket lock, forcing BH handler to queue most of incoming packets in the socket backlog. Whenever the user thread releases the socket lock, it must first process all accumulated packets in the backlog, potentially adding latency spikes. Due to flood mitigation, having too many packets in the backlog increases chance of unexpected drops. Backlog processing unfortunately shifts a fair amount of cpu cycles from the BH cpu to the 'user' cpu, thus reducing max throughput. This patch takes advantage of the backlog processing, and the fact that ACK are mostly cumulative. The idea is to detect we are in the backlog processing and defer all eligible ACK into a single one, sent from tcp_release_cb(). This saves cpu cycles on both sides, and network resources. Performance of a single TCP flow on a 200Gbit NIC: - Throughput is increased by 20% (100Gbit -> 120Gbit). - Number of generated ACK per second shrinks from 240,000 to 40,000. - Number of backlog drops per second shrinks from 230 to 0. Benchmark context: - Regular netperf TCP_STREAM (no zerocopy) - Intel(R) Xeon(R) Platinum 8481C (Saphire Rapids) - MAX_SKB_FRAGS = 17 (~60KB per GRO packet) This feature is guarded by a new sysctl, and enabled by default: /proc/sys/net/ipv4/tcp_backlog_ack_defer Signed-off-by: Eric Dumazet <edumazet@google.com> Acked-by: Yuchung Cheng <ycheng@google.com> Acked-by: Neal Cardwell <ncardwell@google.com> Acked-by: Soheil Hassas Yeganeh <soheil@google.com> Acked-by: Dave Taht <dave.taht@gmail.com> Signed-off-by: Paolo Abeni <pabeni@redhat.com>

2023-09-12KVM: arm64: nvhe: Ignore SVE hint in SMCCC function IDJean-Philippe Brucker
When SVE is enabled, the host may set bit 16 in SMCCC function IDs, a hint that indicates an unused SVE state. At the moment NVHE doesn't account for this bit when inspecting the function ID, and rejects most calls. Clear the hint bit before comparing function IDs. About version compatibility: the host's PSCI driver initially probes the firmware for a SMCCC version number. If the firmware implements a protocol recent enough (1.3), subsequent SMCCC calls have the hint bit set. Since the hint bit was reserved in earlier versions of the protocol, clearing it is fine regardless of the version in use. When a new hint is added to the protocol in the future, it will be added to ARM_SMCCC_CALL_HINTS and NVHE will handle it straight away. This patch only clears known hints and leaves reserved bits as is, because future SMCCC versions could use reserved bits as modifiers for the function ID, rather than hints.

Add support for the WMI methods used to turn off and adjust the brightness of the secondary "screenpad" device found on some high-end ASUS laptops like the GX650P series and others. There are some small quirks with this device when considering only the raw WMI methods: 1. The Off method can only switch the device off 2. Changing the brightness turns the device back on 3. To turn the device back on the brightness must be > 1 4. When the device is off the brightness can't be changed (so it is stored by the driver if device is off). 5. Booting with a value of 0 brightness (retained by bios) means the bios will set a value of >0 <15 6. When the device is off it is "unplugged" asus_wmi sets the minimum brightness as 20 in general use, and 60 for booting with values <= min. The ACPI methods are used in a new backlight device named asus_screenpad. Signed-off-by: Luke D.

2023-09-11sched: Add task_struct->faults_disabled_mappingKent Overstreet
There has been a long standing page cache coherence bug with direct IO. This provides part of a mechanism to fix it, currently just used by bcachefs but potentially worth promoting to the VFS. Direct IO evicts the range of the pagecache being read or written to. For reads, we need dirty pages to be written to disk, so that the read doesn't return stale data. For writes, we need to evict that range of the pagecache so that it's not stale after the write completes. However, without a locking mechanism to prevent those pages from being re-added to the pagecache - by a buffered read or page fault - page cache inconsistency is still possible. This isn't necessarily just an issue for userspace when they're playing games; filesystems may hang arbitrary state off the pagecache, and so page cache inconsistency may cause real filesystem bugs, depending on the filesystem. This is less of an issue for iomap based filesystems, but e.g. buffer heads caches disk block mappings (!) and attaches them to the pagecache, and bcachefs attaches disk reservations to pagecache pages. This issue has been hard to fix, because - we need to add a lock (henceforth called pagecache_add_lock), which would be held for the duration of the direct IO - page faults add pages to the page cache, thus need to take the same lock - dio -> gup -> page fault thus can deadlock And we cannot enforce a lock ordering with this lock, since userspace will be controlling the lock ordering (via the fd and buffer arguments to direct IOs), so we need a different method of deadlock avoidance. We need to tell the page fault handler that we're already holding a pagecache_add_lock, and since plumbing it through the entire gup() path would be highly impractical this adds a field to task_struct. Then the full method is: - in the dio path, when we first take the pagecache_add_lock, note the mapping in the current task_struct - in the page fault handler, if faults_disabled_mapping is set, we check if it's the same mapping as the one we're taking a page fault for, and if so return an error. Then we check lock ordering: if there's a lock ordering violation and trylock fails, we'll have to cycle the locks and return an error that tells the DIO path to retry: faults_disabled_mapping is also used for signalling "locks were dropped, please retry". Also relevant to this patch: mapping->invalidate_lock. mapping->invalidate_lock provides most of the required semantics - it's used by truncate/fallocate to block pages being added to the pagecache. However, since it's a rwsem, direct IOs would need to take the write side in order to block page cache adds, and would then be exclusive with each other - we'll need a new type of lock to pair with this approach.

2023-09-11arch: Remove Itanium (IA-64) architectureArd Biesheuvel
The Itanium architecture is obsolete, and an informal survey [0] reveals that any residual use of Itanium hardware in production is mostly HP-UX or OpenVMS based. The use of Linux on Itanium appears to be limited to enthusiasts that occasionally boot a fresh Linux kernel to see whether things are still working as intended, and perhaps to churn out some distro packages that are rarely used in practice. None of the original companies behind Itanium still produce or support any hardware or software for the architecture, and it is listed as 'Orphaned' in the MAINTAINERS file, as apparently, none of the engineers that contributed on behalf of those companies (nor anyone else, for that matter) have been willing to support or maintain the architecture upstream or even be responsible for applying the odd fix. The Intel firmware team removed all IA-64 support from the Tianocore/EDK2 reference implementation of EFI in 2018. (Itanium is the original architecture for which EFI was developed, and the way Linux supports it deviates significantly from other architectures.) Some distros, such as Debian and Gentoo, still maintain [unofficial] ia64 ports, but many have dropped support years ago. While the argument is being made [1] that there is a 'for the common good' angle to being able to build and run existing projects such as the Grid Community Toolkit [2] on Itanium for interoperability testing, the fact remains that none of those projects are known to be deployed on Linux/ia64, and very few people actually have access to such a system in the first place. Even if there were ways imaginable in which Linux/ia64 could be put to good use today, what matters is whether anyone is actually doing that, and this does not appear to be the case. There are no emulators widely available, and so boot testing Itanium is generally infeasible for ordinary contributors. GCC still supports IA-64 but its compile farm [3] no longer has any IA-64 machines. GLIBC would like to get rid of IA-64 [4] too because it would permit some overdue code cleanups. In summary, the benefits to the ecosystem of having IA-64 be part of it are mostly theoretical, whereas the maintenance overhead of keeping it supported is real. So let's rip off the band aid, and remove the IA-64 arch code entirely. This follows the timeline proposed by the Debian/ia64 maintainer [5], which removes support in a controlled manner, leaving IA-64 in a known good state in the most recent LTS release. Other projects will follow once the kernel support is removed.
