git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/akpm/mm Pull non-MM updates from Andrew Morton: - "hung_task: extend blocking task stacktrace dump to semaphore" from Lance Yang enhances the hung task detector. The detector presently dumps the blocking tasks's stack when it is blocked on a mutex. Lance's series extends this to semaphores - "nilfs2: improve sanity checks in dirty state propagation" from Wentao Liang addresses a couple of minor flaws in nilfs2 - "scripts/gdb: Fixes related to lx_per_cpu()" from Illia Ostapyshyn fixes a couple of issues in the gdb scripts - "Support kdump with LUKS encryption by reusing LUKS volume keys" from Coiby Xu addresses a usability problem with kdump. When the dump device is LUKS-encrypted, the kdump kernel may not have the keys to the encrypted filesystem. A full writeup of this is in the series [0/N] cover letter - "sysfs: add counters for lockups and stalls" from Max Kellermann adds /sys/kernel/hardlockup_count and /sys/kernel/hardlockup_count and /sys/kernel/rcu_stall_count - "fork: Page operation cleanups in the fork code" from Pasha Tatashin implements a number of code cleanups in fork.c - "scripts/gdb/symbols: determine KASLR offset on s390 during early boot" from Ilya Leoshkevich fixes some s390 issues in the gdb scripts * tag 'mm-nonmm-stable-2025-05-31-15-28' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/akpm/mm: (67 commits) llist: make llist_add_batch() a static inline delayacct: remove redundant code and adjust indentation squashfs: add optional full compressed block caching crash_dump, nvme: select CONFIGFS_FS as built-in scripts/gdb/symbols: determine KASLR offset on s390 during early boot scripts/gdb/symbols: factor out pagination_off() scripts/gdb/symbols: factor out get_vmlinux() kernel/panic.c: format kernel-doc comments mailmap: update and consolidate Casey Connolly's name and email nilfs2: remove wbc->for_reclaim handling fork: define a local GFP_VMAP_STACK fork: check charging success before zeroing stack fork: clean-up naming of vm_stack/vm_struct variables in vmap stacks code fork: clean-up ifdef logic around stack allocation kernel/rcu/tree_stall: add /sys/kernel/rcu_stall_count kernel/watchdog: add /sys/kernel/{hard,soft}lockup_count x86/crash: make the page that stores the dm crypt keys inaccessible x86/crash: pass dm crypt keys to kdump kernel Revert "x86/mm: Remove unused __set_memory_prot()" crash_dump: retrieve dm crypt keys in kdump kernel ...

git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/netdev/net-next Pull networking updates from Paolo Abeni: "Core: - Implement the Device Memory TCP transmit path, allowing zero-copy data transmission on top of TCP from e.g. GPU memory to the wire. - Move all the IPv6 routing tables management outside the RTNL scope, under its own lock and RCU. The route control path is now 3x times faster. - Convert queue related netlink ops to instance lock, reducing again the scope of the RTNL lock. This improves the control plane scalability. - Refactor the software crc32c implementation, removing unneeded abstraction layers and improving significantly the related micro-benchmarks. - Optimize the GRO engine for UDP-tunneled traffic, for a 10% performance improvement in related stream tests. - Cover more per-CPU storage with local nested BH locking; this is a prep work to remove the current per-CPU lock in local_bh_disable() on PREMPT_RT. - Introduce and use nlmsg_payload helper, combining buffer bounds verification with accessing payload carried by netlink messages. Netfilter: - Rewrite the procfs conntrack table implementation, improving considerably the dump performance. A lot of user-space tools still use this interface. - Implement support for wildcard netdevice in netdev basechain and flowtables. - Integrate conntrack information into nft trace infrastructure. - Export set count and backend name to userspace, for better introspection. BPF: - BPF qdisc support: BPF-qdisc can be implemented with BPF struct_ops programs and can be controlled in similar way to traditional qdiscs using the "tc qdisc" command. - Refactor the UDP socket iterator, addressing long standing issues WRT duplicate hits or missed sockets. Protocols: - Improve TCP receive buffer auto-tuning and increase the default upper bound for the receive buffer; overall this improves the single flow maximum thoughput on 200Gbs link by over 60%. - Add AFS GSSAPI security class to AF_RXRPC; it provides transport security for connections to the AFS fileserver and VL server. - Improve TCP multipath routing, so that the sources address always matches the nexthop device. - Introduce SO_PASSRIGHTS for AF_UNIX, to allow disabling SCM_RIGHTS, and thus preventing DoS caused by passing around problematic FDs. - Retire DCCP socket. DCCP only receives updates for bugs, and major distros disable it by default. Its removal allows for better organisation of TCP fields to reduce the number of cache lines hit in the fast path. - Extend TCP drop-reason support to cover PAWS checks. Driver API: - Reorganize PTP ioctl flag support to require an explicit opt-in for the drivers, avoiding the problem of drivers not rejecting new unsupported flags. - Converted several device drivers to timestamping APIs. - Introduce per-PHY ethtool dump helpers, improving the support for dump operations targeting PHYs. Tests and tooling: - Add support for classic netlink in user space C codegen, so that ynl-c can now read, create and modify links, routes addresses and qdisc layer configuration. - Add ynl sub-types for binary attributes, allowing ynl-c to output known struct instead of raw binary data, clarifying the classic netlink output. - Extend MPTCP selftests to improve the code-coverage. - Add tests for XDP tail adjustment in AF_XDP. New hardware / drivers: - OpenVPN virtual driver: offload OpenVPN data channels processing to the kernel-space, increasing the data transfer throughput WRT the user-space implementation. - Renesas glue driver for the gigabit ethernet RZ/V2H(P) SoC. - Broadcom asp-v3.0 ethernet driver. - AMD Renoir ethernet device. - ReakTek MT9888 2.5G ethernet PHY driver. - Aeonsemi 10G C45 PHYs driver. Drivers: - Ethernet high-speed NICs: - nVidia/Mellanox (mlx5): - refactor the steering table handling to significantly reduce the amount of memory used - add support for complex matches in H/W flow steering - improve flow streeing error handling - convert to netdev instance locking - Intel (100G, ice, igb, ixgbe, idpf): - ice: add switchdev support for LLDP traffic over VF - ixgbe: add firmware manipulation and regions devlink support - igb: introduce support for frame transmission premption - igb: adds persistent NAPI configuration - idpf: introduce RDMA support - idpf: add initial PTP support - Meta (fbnic): - extend hardware stats coverage - add devlink dev flash support - Broadcom (bnxt): - add support for RX-side device memory TCP - Wangxun (txgbe): - implement support for udp tunnel offload - complete PTP and SRIOV support for AML 25G/10G devices - Ethernet NICs embedded and virtual: - Google (gve): - add device memory TCP TX support - Amazon (ena): - support persistent per-NAPI config - Airoha: - add H/W support for L2 traffic offload - add per flow stats for flow offloading - RealTek (rtl8211): add support for WoL magic packet - Synopsys (stmmac): - dwmac-socfpga 1000BaseX support - add Loongson-2K3000 support - introduce support for hardware-accelerated VLAN stripping - Broadcom (bcmgenet): - expose more H/W stats - Freescale (enetc, dpaa2-eth): - enetc: add MAC filter, VLAN filter RSS and loopback support - dpaa2-eth: convert to H/W timestamping APIs - vxlan: convert FDB table to rhashtable, for better scalabilty - veth: apply qdisc backpressure on full ring to reduce TX drops - Ethernet switches: - Microchip (kzZ88x3): add ETS scheduler support - Ethernet PHYs: - RealTek (rtl8211): - add support for WoL magic packet - add support for PHY LEDs - CAN: - Adds RZ/G3E CANFD support to the rcar_canfd driver. - Preparatory work for CAN-XL support. - Add self-tests framework with support for CAN physical interfaces. - WiFi: - mac80211: - scan improvements with multi-link operation (MLO) - Qualcomm (ath12k): - enable AHB support for IPQ5332 - add monitor interface support to QCN9274 - add multi-link operation support to WCN7850 - add 802.11d scan offload support to WCN7850 - monitor mode for WCN7850, better 6 GHz regulatory - Qualcomm (ath11k): - restore hibernation support - MediaTek (mt76): - WiFi-7 improvements - implement support for mt7990 - Intel (iwlwifi): - enhanced multi-link single-radio (EMLSR) support on 5 GHz links - rework device configuration - RealTek (rtw88): - improve throughput for RTL8814AU - RealTek (rtw89): - add multi-link operation support - STA/P2P concurrency improvements - support different SAR configs by antenna - Bluetooth: - introduce HCI Driver protocol - btintel_pcie: do not generate coredump for diagnostic events - btusb: add HCI Drv commands for configuring altsetting - btusb: add RTL8851BE device 0x0bda:0xb850 - btusb: add new VID/PID 13d3/3584 for MT7922 - btusb: add new VID/PID 13d3/3630 and 13d3/3613 for MT7925 - btnxpuart: implement host-wakeup feature" * tag 'net-next-6.16' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/netdev/net-next: (1611 commits) selftests/bpf: Fix bpf selftest build warning selftests: netfilter: Fix skip of wildcard interface test net: phy: mscc: Stop clearing the the UDPv4 checksum for L2 frames net: openvswitch: Fix the dead loop of MPLS parse calipso: Don't call calipso functions for AF_INET sk. selftests/tc-testing: Add a test for HFSC eltree double add with reentrant enqueue behaviour on netem net_sched: hfsc: Address reentrant enqueue adding class to eltree twice octeontx2-pf: QOS: Refactor TC_HTB_LEAF_DEL_LAST callback octeontx2-pf: QOS: Perform cache sync on send queue teardown net: mana: Add support for Multi Vports on Bare metal net: devmem: ncdevmem: remove unused variable net: devmem: ksft: upgrade rx test to send 1K data net: devmem: ksft: add 5 tuple FS support net: devmem: ksft: add exit_wait to make rx test pass net: devmem: ksft: add ipv4 support net: devmem: preserve sockc_err page_pool: fix ugly page_pool formatting net: devmem: move list_add to net_devmem_bind_dmabuf. selftests: netfilter: nft_queue.sh: include file transfer duration in log message net: phy: mscc: Fix memory leak when using one step timestamping ...

Motivation & background: | Since commit | | c88d71508e36 ("x86/boot/64: Rewrite startup_64() in C") | | dated Jun 6 2017, we have been using C code on the boot path in a way | that is not supported by the toolchain, i.e., to execute non-PIC C | code from a mapping of memory that is different from the one provided | to the linker. It should have been obvious at the time that this was a | bad idea, given the need to sprinkle fixup_pointer() calls left and | right to manipulate global variables (including non-pointer variables) | without crashing. | | This C startup code has been expanding, and in particular, the SEV-SNP | startup code has been expanding over the past couple of years, and | grown many of these warts, where the C code needs to use special | annotations or helpers to access global objects.

2025-05-23netfilter: nf_dup{4, 6}: Move duplication check to task_structSebastian Andrzej Siewior
nf_skb_duplicated is a per-CPU variable and relies on disabled BH for its locking. Without per-CPU locking in local_bh_disable() on PREEMPT_RT this data structure requires explicit locking. Due to the recursion involved, the simplest change is to make it a per-task variable. Move the per-CPU variable nf_skb_duplicated to task_struct and name it in_nf_duplicate. Add it to the existing bitfield so it doesn't use additional memory.

2025-05-14sched,livepatch: Untangle cond_resched() and live-patchingPeter Zijlstra
With the goal of deprecating / removing VOLUNTARY preempt, live-patch needs to stop relying on cond_resched() to make forward progress. Instead, rely on schedule() with TASK_FREEZABLE set. Just like live-patching, the freezer needs to be able to stop tasks in a safe / known state.

2025-05-11hung_task: replace blocker_mutex with encoded blockerLance Yang
Patch series "hung_task: extend blocking task stacktrace dump to semaphore", v5. Inspired by mutex blocker tracking[1], this patch series extend the feature to not only dump the blocker task holding a mutex but also to support semaphores. Unlike mutexes, semaphores lack explicit ownership tracking, making it challenging to identify the root cause of hangs. To address this, we introduce a last_holder field to the semaphore structure, which is updated when a task successfully calls down() and cleared during up(). The assumption is that if a task is blocked on a semaphore, the holders must not have released it. While this does not guarantee that the last holder is one of the current blockers, it likely provides a practical hint for diagnosing semaphore-related stalls.

The blocker filed can store both the lock addrees and the lock type, with LSB used to encode the type as Masami suggested, making it easier to extend the feature to cover other types of locks. Also, once the lock type is determined, we can directly extract the address and cast it to a lock pointer ;) Link: https://lkml.kernel.org/r/20250414145945.84916-1-ioworker0@gmail.com Link: https://lore.kernel.org/all/174046694331.2194069.15472952050240807469.stgit@mhiramat.tok.corp.google.com [1] Link: https://lkml.kernel.org/r/20250414145945.84916-2-ioworker0@gmail.com Signed-off-by: Mingzhe Yang <mingzhe.yang@ly.com> Signed-off-by: Lance Yang <ioworker0@gmail.com> Reviewed-by: Masami Hiramatsu (Google) <mhiramat@kernel.org> Suggested-by: Andrew Morton <akpm@linux-foundation.org> Suggested-by: Masami Hiramatsu (Google) <mhiramat@kernel.org> Cc: Anna Schumaker <anna.schumaker@oracle.com> Cc: Boqun Feng <boqun.feng@gmail.com> Cc: Ingo Molnar <mingo@redhat.com> Cc: Joel Granados <joel.granados@kernel.org> Cc: John Stultz <jstultz@google.com> Cc: Kent Overstreet <kent.overstreet@linux.dev> Cc: Peter Zijlstra <peterz@infradead.org> Cc: Sergey Senozhatsky <senozhatsky@chromium.org> Cc: Steven Rostedt <rostedt@goodmis.org> Cc: Tomasz Figa <tfiga@chromium.org> Cc: Waiman Long <longman@redhat.com> Cc: Will Deacon <will@kernel.org> Cc: Yongliang Gao <leonylgao@tencent.com> Cc: Zi Li <amaindex@outlook.com> Signed-off-by: Andrew Morton <akpm@linux-foundation.org>
2025-04-14x86/fpu: Make task_struct::thread constant sizeIngo Molnar
Turn thread.fpu into a pointer. Since most FPU code internals work by passing around the FPU pointer already, the code generation impact is small. This allows us to remove the old kludge of task_struct being variable size: struct task_struct { ... /* * New fields for task_struct should be added above here, so that * they are included in the randomized portion of task_struct. */ randomized_struct_fields_end /* CPU-specific state of this task: */ struct thread_struct thread; /* * WARNING: on x86, 'thread_struct' contains a variable-sized * structure. It *MUST* be at the end of 'task_struct'. * * Do not put anything below here! */ }; ... which creates a number of problems, such as requiring thread_struct to be the last member of the struct - not allowing it to be struct-randomized, etc. But the primary motivation is to allow the decoupling of task_struct from hardware details (<asm/processor.h> in particular), and to eventually allow the per-task infrastructure: DECLARE_PER_TASK(type, name); ... per_task(current, name) = val; ... which requires task_struct to be a constant size struct. The fpu_thread_struct_whitelist() quirk to hardened usercopy can be removed, now that the FPU structure is not embedded in the task struct anymore, which reduces text footprint a bit.

git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/trace/linux-trace Pull latency tracing updates from Steven Rostedt: - Add some trace events to osnoise and timerlat sample generation This adds more information to the osnoise and timerlat tracers as well as allows BPF programs to be attached to these locations to extract even more data. - Fix to DECLARE_TRACE_CONDITION() macro It wasn't used but now will be and it happened to be broken causing the build to fail. - Add scheduler specification monitors to runtime verifier (RV) This is a continuation of Daniel Bristot's work. RV allows monitors to run and react concurrently. Running the cumulative model is equivalent to running single components using the same reactors, with the advantage that it's easier to point out which specification failed in case of error. This update introduces nested monitors to RV, in short, the sysfs monitor folder will contain a monitor named sched, which is nothing but an empty container for other monitors. Controlling the sched monitor (enable, disable, set reactors) controls all nested monitors. The following scheduling monitors are added: - sco: scheduling context operations Monitor to ensure sched_set_state happens only in thread context - tss: task switch while scheduling Monitor to ensure sched_switch happens only in scheduling context - snroc: set non runnable on its own context Monitor to ensure set_state happens only in the respective task's context - scpd: schedule called with preemption disabled Monitor to ensure schedule is called with preemption disabled - snep: schedule does not enable preempt Monitor to ensure schedule does not enable preempt - sncid: schedule not called with interrupt disabled Monitor to ensure schedule is not called with interrupt disabled * tag 'trace-latency-v6.15' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/trace/linux-trace: tools/rv: Allow rv list to filter for container Documentation/rv: Add docs for the sched monitors verification/dot2k: Add support for nested monitors tools/rv: Add support for nested monitors rv: Add scpd, snep and sncid per-cpu monitors rv: Add snroc per-task monitor rv: Add sco and tss per-cpu monitors rv: Add option for nested monitors and include sched sched: Add sched tracepoints for RV task model rv: Add license identifiers to monitor files tracing: Fix DECLARE_TRACE_CONDITION trace/osnoise: Add trace events for samples

2025-03-21hung_task: show the blocker task if the task is hung on mutexMasami Hiramatsu (Google)
Patch series "hung_task: Dump the blocking task stacktrace", v4. The hung_task detector is very useful for detecting the lockup. However, since it only dumps the blocked (uninterruptible sleep) processes, it is not enough to identify the root cause of that lockup. For example, if a process holds a mutex and sleep an event in interruptible state long time, the other processes will wait on the mutex in uninterruptible state.

We can follow the waiter link but the output will be a bit different compared with mutex case. This patch (of 2): The "hung_task" shows a long-time uninterruptible slept task, but most often, it's blocked on a mutex acquired by another task. Without dumping such a task, investigating the root cause of the hung task problem is very difficult. This introduce task_struct::blocker_mutex to point the mutex lock which this task is waiting for. Since the mutex has "owner" information, we can find the owner task and dump it with hung tasks. Note: the owner can be changed while dumping the owner task, so this is "likely" the owner of the mutex. With this change, the hung task shows blocker task's info like below; INFO: task cat:115 blocked for more than 122 seconds.

2025-03-17perf: Save PMU specific data in task_structKan Liang
Some PMU specific data has to be saved/restored during context switch, e.g. LBR call stack data. Currently, the data is saved in event context structure, but only for per-process event. For system-wide event, because of missing the LBR call stack data after context switch, LBR callstacks are always shorter in comparison to per-process mode. For example, Per-process mode: $perf record --call-graph lbr -- taskset -c 0 ./tchain_edit - 99.90% 99.86% tchain_edit tchain_edit [.] f3 99.86% _start __libc_start_main generic_start_main main f1 - f2 f3 System-wide mode: $perf record --call-graph lbr -a -- taskset -c 0 ./tchain_edit - 99.88% 99.82% tchain_edit tchain_edit [.] f3 - 62.02% main f1 f2 f3 - 28.83% f1 - f2 f3 - 28.83% f1 - f2 f3 - 8.88% generic_start_main main f1 f2 f3 It isn't practical to simply allocate the data for system-wide event in CPU context structure for all tasks. We have no idea which CPU a task will be scheduled to. The duplicated LBR data has to be maintained on every CPU context structure. That's a huge waste. Otherwise, the LBR data still lost if the task is scheduled to another CPU. Save the pmu specific data in task_struct. The size of pmu specific data is 788 bytes for LBR call stack. Usually, the overall amount of threads doesn't exceed a few thousands. For 10K threads, keeping LBR data would consume additional ~8MB. The additional space will only be allocated during LBR call stack monitoring. It will be released when the monitoring is finished. Furthermore, moving task_ctx_data from perf_event_context to task_struct can reduce complexity and make things clearer. E.g. perf doesn't need to swap task_ctx_data on optimized context switch path. This patch set is just the first step. There could be other optimization/extension on top of this patch set. E.g. for cgroup profiling, perf just needs to save/store the LBR call stack information for tasks in specific cgroup. That could reduce the additional space. Also, the LBR call stack can be available for software events, or allow even debugging use cases, like LBRs on crash later. Because of the alignment requirement of Intel Arch LBR, the Kmem cache is used to allocate the PMU specific data. It's required when child task allocates the space. Save it in struct perf_ctx_data. The refcount in struct perf_ctx_data is used to track the users of pmu specific data.

2025-01-12delayacct: add delay min to record delay peakWang Yaxin
Delay accounting can now calculate the average delay of processes, detect the overall system load, and also record the 'delay max' to identify potential abnormal delays.

2025-01-12delayacct: add delay max to record delay peakWang Yaxin
Introduce the use cases of delay max, which can help quickly detect potential abnormal delays in the system and record the types and specific details of delay spikes. Problem ======== Delay accounting can track the average delay of processes to show system workload. However, when a process experiences a significant delay, maybe a delay spike, which adversely affects performance, getdelays can only display the average system delay over a period of time. Yet, average delay is unhelpful for diagnosing delay peak. It is not even possible to determine which type of delay has spiked, as this information might be masked by the average delay. Solution ========= the 'delay max' can display delay peak since the system's startup, which can record potential abnormal delays over time, including the type of delay and the maximum delay. This is helpful for quickly identifying crash caused by delay. Use case ========= bash# ./getdelays -d -p 244 print delayacct stats ON PID 244 CPU count real total virtual total delay total delay average delay max 68 192000000 213676651 705643 0.010ms 0.306381ms IO count delay total delay average delay max 0 0 0.000ms 0.000000ms SWAP count delay total delay average delay max 0 0 0.000ms 0.000000ms RECLAIM count delay total delay average delay max 0 0 0.000ms 0.000000ms THRASHING count delay total delay average delay max 0 0 0.000ms 0.000000ms COMPACT count delay total delay average delay max 0 0 0.000ms 0.000000ms WPCOPY count delay total delay average delay max 235 15648284 0.067ms 0.263842ms IRQ count delay total delay average delay max 0 0 0.000ms 0.000000ms [wang.yaxin@zte.com.cn: update docs and fix some spelling errors] Link: https://lkml.kernel.org/r/20241213192700771XKZ8H30OtHSeziGqRVMs0@zte.com.cn Link: https://lkml.kernel.org/r/20241203164848805CS62CQPQWG9GLdQj2_BxS@zte.com.cn Co-developed-by: Wang Yong <wang.yong12@zte.com.cn> Signed-off-by: Wang Yong <wang.yong12@zte.com.cn> Co-developed-by: xu xin <xu.xin16@zte.com.cn> Signed-off-by: xu xin <xu.xin16@zte.com.cn> Co-developed-by: Wang Yaxin <wang.yaxin@zte.com.cn> Signed-off-by: Wang Yaxin <wang.yaxin@zte.com.cn> Signed-off-by: Kun Jiang <jiang.kun2@zte.com.cn> Cc: Balbir Singh <bsingharora@gmail.com> Cc: David Hildenbrand <david@redhat.com> Cc: Fan Yu <fan.yu9@zte.com.cn> Cc: Peilin He <he.peilin@zte.com.cn> Cc: tuqiang <tu.qiang35@zte.com.cn> Cc: Yang Yang <yang.yang29@zte.com.cn> Cc: ye xingchen <ye.xingchen@zte.com.cn> Cc: Yunkai Zhang <zhang.yunkai@zte.com.cn> Signed-off-by: Andrew Morton <akpm@linux-foundation.org>
2024-12-29freezer, sched: Report frozen tasks as 'D' instead of 'R'Chen Ridong
Before commit: f5d39b020809 ("freezer,sched: Rewrite core freezer logic") the frozen task stat was reported as 'D' in cgroup v1. However, after rewriting the core freezer logic, the frozen task stat is reported as 'R'. This is confusing, especially when a task with stat of 'S' is frozen. This bug can be reproduced with these steps: $ cd /sys/fs/cgroup/freezer/ $ mkdir test $ sleep 1000 & [1] 739 // task whose stat is 'S' $ echo 739 > test/cgroup.procs $ echo FROZEN > test/freezer.state $ ps -aux | grep 739 root 739 0.1 0.0 8376 1812 pts/0 R 10:56 0:00 sleep 1000 As shown above, a task whose stat is 'S' was changed to 'R' when it was frozen. To solve this regression, simply maintain the same reported state as before the rewrite.

In /proc/schedstat, lb_hot_gained reports the number hot tasks pulled during load balance. This value is incremented in can_migrate_task() if the task is migratable and hot. After incrementing the value, load balancer can still decide not to migrate this task leading to wrong accounting. Fix this by incrementing stats when hot tasks are detached. This issue only exists in detach_tasks() where we can decide to not migrate hot task even if it is migratable. However, in detach_one_task(), we migrate it unconditionally.

2024-12-16exec: Make sure task->comm is always NUL-terminatedKees Cook
Using strscpy() meant that the final character in task->comm may be non-NUL for a moment before the "string too long" truncation happens. Instead of adding a new use of the ambiguous strncpy(), we'd want to use memtostr_pad() which enforces being able to check at compile time that sizes are sensible, but this requires being able to see string buffer lengths. Instead of trying to inline __set_task_comm() (which needs to call trace and perf functions), just open-code it. But to make sure we're always safe, add compile-time checking like we already do for get_task_comm(). Suggested-by: Linus Torvalds <torvalds@linux-foundation.org> Suggested-by: "Eric W.

2024-12-13sched/dlserver: Fix dlserver double enqueueVineeth Pillai (Google)
dlserver can get dequeued during a dlserver pick_task due to the delayed deueue feature and this can lead to issues with dlserver logic as it still thinks that dlserver is on the runqueue. The dlserver throttling and replenish logic gets confused and can lead to double enqueue of dlserver. Double enqueue of dlserver could happend due to couple of reasons: Case 1 ------ Delayed dequeue feature[1] can cause dlserver being stopped during a pick initiated by dlserver: __pick_next_task pick_task_dl -> server_pick_task pick_task_fair pick_next_entity (if (sched_delayed)) dequeue_entities dl_server_stop server_pick_task goes ahead with update_curr_dl_se without knowing that dlserver is dequeued and this confuses the logic and may lead to unintended enqueue while the server is stopped. Case 2 ------ A race condition between a task dequeue on one cpu and same task's enqueue on this cpu by a remote cpu while the lock is released causing dlserver double enqueue. One cpu would be in the schedule() and releasing RQ-lock: current->state = TASK_INTERRUPTIBLE(); schedule(); deactivate_task() dl_stop_server(); pick_next_task() pick_next_task_fair() sched_balance_newidle() rq_unlock(this_rq) at which point another CPU can take our RQ-lock and do: try_to_wake_up() ttwu_queue() rq_lock() ... activate_task() dl_server_start() --> first enqueue wakeup_preempt() := check_preempt_wakeup_fair() update_curr() update_curr_task() if (current->dl_server) dl_server_update() enqueue_dl_entity() --> second enqueue This bug was not apparent as the enqueue in dl_server_start doesn't usually happen because of the defer logic. But as a side effect of the first case(dequeue during dlserver pick), dl_throttled and dl_yield will be set and this causes the time accounting of dlserver to messup and then leading to a enqueue in dl_server_start. Have an explicit flag representing the status of dlserver to avoid the confusion. This is set in dl_server_start and reset in dlserver_stop.

2024-12-10rseq: Validate read-only fields under DEBUG_RSEQ configMathieu Desnoyers
The rseq uapi requires cooperation between users of the rseq fields to ensure that all libraries and applications using rseq within a process do not interfere with each other. This is especially important for fields which are meant to be read-only from user-space, as documented in uapi/linux/rseq.h: - cpu_id_start, - cpu_id, - node_id, - mm_cid. Storing to those fields from a user-space library prevents any sharing of the rseq ABI with other libraries and applications, as other users are not aware that the content of those fields has been altered by a third-party library. This is unfortunately the current behavior of tcmalloc: it purposefully overlaps part of a cached value with the cpu_id_start upper bits to get notified about preemption, because the kernel clears those upper bits before returning to user-space. This behavior does not conform to the rseq uapi header ABI. This prevents tcmalloc from using rseq when rseq is registered by the GNU C library 2.35+. It requires tcmalloc users to disable glibc rseq registration with a glibc tunable, which is a sad state of affairs. Considering that tcmalloc and the GNU C library are the two first upstream projects using rseq, and that they are already incompatible due to use of this hack, adding kernel-level validation of all read-only fields content is necessary to ensure future users of rseq abide by the rseq ABI requirements. Validate that user-space does not corrupt the read-only fields and conform to the rseq uapi header ABI when the kernel is built with CONFIG_DEBUG_RSEQ=y. This is done by storing a copy of the read-only fields in the task_struct, and validating the prior values present in user-space before updating them. If the values do not match, print a warning on the console (printk_ratelimited()). This is a first step to identify misuses of the rseq ABI by printing a warning on the console. After a giving some time to userspace to correct its use of rseq, the plan is to eventually terminate offending processes with SIGSEGV. This change is expected to produce warnings for the upstream tcmalloc implementation, but tcmalloc developers mentioned they were open to adapt their implementation to kernel-level change.

Move out function graph specific fields from the fgraph infrastructure and store it on the new stack variables that can pass data from the entry callback to the exit callback. Hopefully, with this change, the merge of kretprobes to use fgraph shadow stacks will be ready by the next merge window. - Make shadow stack 4k instead of using PAGE_SIZE. Some architectures have very large PAGE_SIZE values which make its use for shadow stacks waste a lot of memory. - Give shadow stacks its own kmem cache. When function graph is started, every task on the system gets a shadow stack. In the future, shadow stacks may not be 4K in size. Have it have its own kmem cache so that whatever size it becomes will still be efficient in allocations. - Initialize profiler graph ops as it will be needed for new updates to fgraph - Convert to use guard(mutex) for several ftrace and fgraph functions - Add more comments and documentation - Show function return address in function graph tracer Add an option to show the caller of a function at each entry of the function graph tracer, similar to what the function tracer does. - Abstract out ftrace_regs from being used directly like pt_regs ftrace_regs was created to store a partial pt_regs. It holds only the registers and stack information to get to the function arguments and return values. On several archs, it is simply a wrapper around pt_regs. But some users would access ftrace_regs directly to get the pt_regs which will not work on all archs. Make ftrace_regs an abstract structure that requires all access to its fields be through accessor functions. - Show how long it takes to do function code modifications When code modification for function hooks happen, it always had the time recorded in how long it took to do the conversion. But this value was never exported. Recently the code was touched due to new ROX modification handling that caused a large slow down in doing the modifications and had a significant impact on boot times. Expose the timings in the dyn_ftrace_total_info file. This file was created a while ago to show information about memory usage and such to implement dynamic function tracing. It's also an appropriate file to store the timings of this modification as well.

2024-11-05get rid of __get_task_comm()Yafang Shao
Patch series "Improve the copy of task comm", v8. Using {memcpy,strncpy,strcpy,kstrdup} to copy the task comm relies on the length of task comm. Changes in the task comm could result in a destination string that is overflow. Therefore, we should explicitly ensure the destination string is always NUL-terminated, regardless of the task comm. This approach will facilitate future extensions to the task comm. As suggested by Linus [0], we can identify all relevant code with the following git grep command: git grep 'memcpy.*->comm\>' git grep 'kstrdup.*->comm\>' git grep 'strncpy.*->comm\>' git grep 'strcpy.*->comm\>' PATCH #2~#4: memcpy PATCH #5~#6: kstrdup PATCH #7: strcpy Please note that strncpy() is not included in this series as it is being tracked by another effort.

2024-10-09Revert "mm: introduce PF_MEMALLOC_NORECLAIM, PF_MEMALLOC_NOWARN"Michal Hocko
This reverts commit eab0af905bfc3e9c05da2ca163d76a1513159aa4. There is no existing user of those flags. PF_MEMALLOC_NOWARN is dangerous because a nested allocation context can use GFP_NOFAIL which could cause unexpected failure. Such a code would be hard to maintain because it could be deeper in the call chain. PF_MEMALLOC_NORECLAIM has been added even when it was pointed out [1] that such a allocation contex is inherently unsafe if the context doesn't fully control all allocations called from this context. While PF_MEMALLOC_NOWARN is not dangerous the way PF_MEMALLOC_NORECLAIM is it doesn't have any user and as Matthew has pointed out we are running out of those flags so better reclaim it without any real users.

__HAVE_THREAD_FUNCTIONS could be defined by architectures wishing to provide their own task_thread_info(), task_stack_page(), setup_thread_stack() and end_of_stack() hooks. Commit cf8e8658100d ("arch: Remove Itanium (IA-64) architecture") removed the last upstream consumer of __HAVE_THREAD_FUNCTIONS, so change the remaining !CONFIG_THREAD_INFO_IN_TASK && !__HAVE_THREAD_FUNCTIONS conditionals to only check for the former case.

2024-09-30ftrace: Use a running sleeptime instead of saving on shadow stackSteven Rostedt
The fgraph "sleep-time" option tells the function graph tracer and the profiler whether to include the time a function "sleeps" (is scheduled off the CPU) in its duration for the function. By default it is true, which means the duration of a function is calculated by the timestamp of when the function was entered to the timestamp of when it exits. If the "sleep-time" option is disabled, it needs to remove the time that the task was not running on the CPU during the function. Currently it is done in a sched_switch tracepoint probe where it moves the "calltime" (time of entry of the function) forward by the sleep time calculated. It updates all the calltime in the shadow stack. This is time consuming for those users of the function graph tracer that does not care about the sleep time. Instead, add a "ftrace_sleeptime" to the task_struct that gets the sleep time added each time the task wakes up. Then have the function entry save the current "ftrace_sleeptime" and on function exit, move the calltime forward by the difference of the current "ftrace_sleeptime" from the saved sleeptime. This removes one dependency of "calltime" needed to be on the shadow stack. It also simplifies the code that removes the sleep time of functions. TODO: Only enable the sched_switch tracepoint when this is needed.

2024-08-17sched/eevdf: Use sched_attr::sched_runtime to set request/slice suggestionPeter Zijlstra
Allow applications to directly set a suggested request/slice length using sched_attr::sched_runtime. The implementation clamps the value to: 0.1[ms] <= slice <= 100[ms] which is 1/10 the size of HZ=1000 and 10 times the size of HZ=100. Applications should strive to use their periodic runtime at a high confidence interval (95%+) as the target slice. Using a smaller slice will introduce undue preemptions, while using a larger value will increase latency. For all the following examples assume a scheduling quantum of 8, and for consistency all examples have W=4: {A,B,C,D}(w=1,r=8): ABCD... +---+---+---+--- t=0, V=1.5 t=1, V=3.5 A |------< A |------< B |------< B |------< C |------< C |------< D |------< D |------< ---+*------+-------+--- ---+--*----+-------+--- t=2, V=5.5 t=3, V=7.5 A |------< A |------< B |------< B |------< C |------< C |------< D |------< D |------< ---+----*--+-------+--- ---+------*+-------+--- Note: 4 identical tasks in FIFO order ~~~ {A,B}(w=1,r=16) C(w=2,r=16) AACCBBCC... +---+---+---+--- t=0, V=1.25 t=2, V=5.25 A |--------------< A |--------------< B |--------------< B |--------------< C |------< C |------< ---+*------+-------+--- ---+----*--+-------+--- t=4, V=8.25 t=6, V=12.25 A |--------------< A |--------------< B |--------------< B |--------------< C |------< C |------< ---+-------*-------+--- ---+-------+---*---+--- Note: 1 heavy task -- because q=8, double r such that the deadline of the w=2 task doesn't go below q.
