Because alloc_percpu() zeroes out the allocated memory, there is no need
to zero-fill newly allocated per-CPU memory. This commit therefore removes
the loop zeroing the ->srcu_lock_count and ->srcu_unlock_count arrays
from init_srcu_struct_nodes(). This is the only use of that function's
is_static parameter, which this commit also removes.

Currently each CPU has its own ->nocb_timer queued when the nocb_gp
wakeup must be deferred. This approach has many drawbacks, compared to
a solution based on a single timer per NOCB group:
* There are a lot of timers to maintain.
* The per-rdp ->nocb_lock must be held to queue and cancel the timer
and this lock can already be heavily contended.
* One timer firing doesn't cancel the other timers in the same group:
- These other timers can thus cause spurious wakeups
- Each rdp that queued a timer must lock both ->nocb_lock and then
->nocb_gp_lock upon exit from the kernel to idle/user/guest mode.
* We can't cancel all of them if we detect an unflushed bypass in
nocb_gp_wait(). In fact currently we only ever cancel the ->nocb_timer
of the leader group.
* The leader group's nocb_timer is cancelled without locking ->nocb_lock
in nocb_gp_wait(). This currently appears to be safe but is an
accident waiting to happen.
* Since the timer acquires ->nocb_lock, it requires extra care in the
NOCB (de-)offloading process, requiring that it be either enabled or
disabled and then flushed.
This commit instead uses the rcuog kthread's CPU's ->nocb_timer instead.
It is protected by nocb_gp_lock, which is _way_ less contended and
remains so even after this change. As a matter of fact, the nocb_timer
almost never fires and the deferred wakeup is mostly carried out upon
idle/user/guest entry. Now the early check performed at this point in
do_nocb_deferred_wakeup() is done on rdp_gp->nocb_defer_wakeup, which
is of course racy. However, this raciness is harmless because we only
need the guarantee that the timer is queued if we were the last one to
queue it. Any other situation (another CPU has queued it and we either
see it or not) is fine.
This solves all the issues listed above.

Currently we have three functions which depend on each other.
Two of them are quite tiny and the last one where the most
work is done. All of them are related to queuing RCU batches
to reclaim objects after a GP.
1. kfree_rcu_monitor(). It consist of few lines. It acquires a spin-lock
and calls kfree_rcu_drain_unlock().
2. kfree_rcu_drain_unlock(). It also consists of few lines of code. It
calls queue_kfree_rcu_work() to queue the batch. If this fails,
it rearms the monitor work to try again later.
3. queue_kfree_rcu_work(). This provides the bulk of the functionality,
attempting to start a new batch to free objects after a GP.
Since there are no external users of functions [2] and [3], both
can eliminated by moving all logic directly into [1], which both
shrinks and simplifies the code.
Also replace comments which start with "/*" to "//" format to make it
unified across the file.

The kvfree_rcu() function now defers allocations in the common
case due to the fact that there is no lockless access to the
memory-allocator caches/pools. In addition, in CONFIG_PREEMPT_NONE=y
and in CONFIG_PREEMPT_VOLUNTARY=y kernels, there is no reliable way to
determine if spinlocks are held. As a result, allocation is deferred in
the common case, and the two-argument form of kvfree_rcu() thus uses the
"channel 3" queue through all the rcu_head structures. This channel
is called referred to as the emergency case in comments, and these
comments are now obsolete.
This commit therefore updates these comments to reflect the new
common-case nature of such emergencies.

Before attempting to start a new batch the "monitor_todo" variable is
set to "false" and set back to "true" when a previous RCU batch is still
in progress. This is at best confusing.
Thus change this variable to "false" only when a new batch has been
successfully queued, otherwise, just leave it be.

The rcu_scheduler_active flag is set to RCU_SCHEDULER_RUNNING once the
scheduler is up and running. That signal is used in order to check
and queue a "monitor work" to reclaim freed objects (if there are any)
during early boot. This flag is used by kvfree_rcu() to determine when
work can safely be queued, at which point memory passed to earlier
invocations of kvfree_rcu() can be processed.
However, only "krcp->head" is checked for objects that need to be
released, and there are now two more, namely, "krcp->bkvhead[0]" and
"krcp->bkvhead[1]". Therefore, check these two additional channels.

nr_bkv_objs is a count of the objects in the kvfree_rcu page cache.
Accessing it requires holding the ->lock. Switch to READ_ONCE() and
WRITE_ONCE() macros to provide lockless access to this counter.
This lockless access is used for the shrinker.

Add a drain_page_cache() function to drain a per-cpu page cache.
The reason behind of it is a system can run into a low memory
condition, in that case a page shrinker can ask for its users
to free their caches in order to get extra memory available for
other needs in a system.
When a system hits such condition, a page cache is drained for
all CPUs in a system. By default a page cache work is delayed
with 5 seconds interval until a memory pressure disappears, if
needed it can be changed. See a rcu_delay_page_cache_fill_msec
module parameter.

Introduce the cgroup.kill file. It does what it says on the tin and
allows a caller to kill a cgroup by writing "1" into cgroup.kill.
The file is available in non-root cgroups.
Killing cgroups is a process directed operation, i.e. the whole
thread-group is affected. Consequently trying to write to cgroup.kill in
threaded cgroups will be rejected and EOPNOTSUPP returned. This behavior
aligns with cgroup.procs where reads in threaded-cgroups are rejected
with EOPNOTSUPP.
The cgroup.kill file is write-only since killing a cgroup is an event
not which makes it different from e.g. freezer where a cgroup
transitions between the two states.
As with all new cgroup features cgroup.kill is recursive by default.
Killing a cgroup is protected against concurrent migrations through the
cgroup mutex. To protect against forkbombs and to mitigate the effect of
racing forks a new CGRP_KILL css set lock protected flag is introduced
that is set prior to killing a cgroup and unset after the cgroup has
been killed. We can then check in cgroup_post_fork() where we hold the
css set lock already whether the cgroup is currently being killed. If so
we send the child a SIGKILL signal immediately taking it down as soon as
it returns to userspace. To make the killing of the child semantically
clean it is killed after all cgroup attachment operations have been
finalized.
There are various use-cases of this interface:
- Containers usually have a conservative layout where each container
usually has a delegated cgroup. For such layouts there is a 1:1
mapping between container and cgroup. If the container in addition
uses a separate pid namespace then killing a container usually becomes
a simple kill -9 <container-init-pid> from an ancestor pid namespace.
However, there are quite a few scenarios where that isn't true. For
example, there are containers that share the cgroup with other
processes on purpose that are supposed to be bound to the lifetime of
the container but are not in the same pidns of the container.
Containers that are in a delegated cgroup but share the pid namespace
with the host or other containers.
- Service managers such as systemd use cgroups to group and organize
processes belonging to a service. They usually rely on a recursive
algorithm now to kill a service. With cgroup.kill this becomes a
simple write to cgroup.kill.
- Userspace OOM implementations can make good use of this feature to
efficiently take down whole cgroups quickly.
- The kill program can gain a new
kill --cgroup /sys/fs/cgroup/delegated
flag to take down cgroups.
A few observations about the semantics:
- If parent and child are in the same cgroup and CLONE_INTO_CGROUP is
not specified we are not taking cgroup mutex meaning the cgroup can be
killed while a process in that cgroup is forking.
If the kill request happens right before cgroup_can_fork() and before
the parent grabs its siglock the parent is guaranteed to see the
pending SIGKILL. In addition we perform another check in
cgroup_post_fork() whether the cgroup is being killed and is so take
down the child (see above). This is robust enough and protects gainst
forkbombs. If userspace really really wants to have stricter
protection the simple solution would be to grab the write side of the
cgroup threadgroup rwsem which will force all ongoing forks to
complete before killing starts. We concluded that this is not
necessary as the semantics for concurrent forking should simply align
with freezer where a similar check as cgroup_post_fork() is performed.
For all other cases CLONE_INTO_CGROUP is required. In this case we
will grab the cgroup mutex so the cgroup can't be killed while we
fork. Once we're done with the fork and have dropped cgroup mutex we
are visible and will be found by any subsequent kill request.
- We obviously don't kill kthreads. This means a cgroup that has a
kthread will not become empty after killing and consequently no
unpopulated event will be generated. The assumption is that kthreads
should be in the root cgroup only anyway so this is not an issue.
- We skip killing tasks that already have pending fatal signals.
- Freezer doesn't care about tasks in different pid namespaces, i.e. if
you have two tasks in different pid namespaces the cgroup would still
be frozen. The cgroup.kill mechanism consequently behaves the same
way, i.e. we kill all processes and ignore in which pid namespace they
exist.
- If the caller is located in a cgroup that is killed the caller will
obviously be killed as well.

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.

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().

There's a lot of duplicated code between gcc and clang implementations,
move it over to fs.c to simplify the code, there's no reason to believe
that for small data like this one would not just implement the simple
convert_to_gcda() function.

kmsg_dump(KMSG_DUMP_SHUTDOWN) is called before machine_restart(),
machine_halt(), and machine_power_off(). The only one that is missing
is machine_kexec().
The dmesg output that it contains can be used to study the shutdown
performance of both kernel and systemd during kexec reboot.
Here is example of dmesg data collected after kexec:
root@dplat-cp22:~# cat /sys/fs/pstore/dmesg-ramoops-0 | tail
...

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].

We can't currently allow to attach functions with variable arguments.
The problem is that we should save all the registers for arguments,
which is probably doable, but if caller uses more than 6 arguments,
we need stack data, which will be wrong, because of the extra stack
frame we do in bpf trampoline, so we could crash.
Also currently there's malformed trampoline code generated for such
functions at the moment as described in:

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.
