Rostedt writes:
My test suite was locking up hard when enabling mmiotracer. This was due
to the mmiotracer placing all but one CPU offline. I found this out
when I was able to reproduce the bug with just my stress-cpu-hotplug
test. This bug baffled me because it would not always trigger, and
would only trigger on the first run after boot up. The
stress-cpu-hotplug test would crash hard the first run, or never crash
at all. But a new reboot may cause it to crash on the first run again.
I spent all week bisecting this, as I couldn't find a consistent
reproducer. I finally narrowed it down to the sched deadline patches,
and even more peculiar, to the commit that added the sched
deadline boot up self test to the latency tracer. Then it dawned on me
to what the bug was.
All it took was to run a task under sched deadline to screw up the CPU
hot plugging. This explained why it would lock up only on the first run
of the stress-cpu-hotplug test. The bug happened when the boot up self
test of the schedule latency tracer would test a deadline task. The
deadline task would corrupt something that would cause CPU hotplug to
fail. If it didn't corrupt it, the stress test would always work
(there's no other sched deadline tasks that would run to cause
problems). If it did corrupt on boot up, the first test would lockup
hard.
I proved this theory by running my deadline test program on another box,
and then run the stress-cpu-hotplug test, and it would now consistently
lock up. I could run stress-cpu-hotplug over and over with no problem,
but once I ran the deadline test, the next run of the
stress-cpu-hotplug would lock hard.
After adding lots of tracing to the code, I found the cause. The
function tracer showed that migrate_tasks() was stuck in an infinite
loop, where rq->nr_running never equaled 1 to break out of it. When I
added a trace_printk() to see what that number was, it was 335 and
never decrementing!
Looking at the deadline code I found:
static void __dequeue_task_dl(struct rq *rq, struct task_struct *p, int flags) {
dequeue_dl_entity(&p->dl);
dequeue_pushable_dl_task(rq, p);
}
static void dequeue_task_dl(struct rq *rq, struct task_struct *p, int flags) {
update_curr_dl(rq);
__dequeue_task_dl(rq, p, flags);
dec_nr_running(rq);
}
And this:
if (dl_runtime_exceeded(rq, dl_se)) {
__dequeue_task_dl(rq, curr, 0);
if (likely(start_dl_timer(dl_se, curr->dl.dl_boosted)))
dl_se->dl_throttled = 1;
else
enqueue_task_dl(rq, curr, ENQUEUE_REPLENISH);
if (!is_leftmost(curr, &rq->dl))
resched_task(curr);
}
Notice how we call __dequeue_task_dl() and in the else case we
call enqueue_task_dl()? Also notice that dequeue_task_dl() has
underscores where enqueue_task_dl() does not. The enqueue_task_dl()
calls inc_nr_running(rq), but __dequeue_task_dl() does not. This is
where we get nr_running out of sync.
[snip]
Another point where nr_running can get out of sync is when the dl_timer
fires:
dl_se->dl_throttled = 0;
if (p->on_rq) {
enqueue_task_dl(rq, p, ENQUEUE_REPLENISH);
if (task_has_dl_policy(rq->curr))
check_preempt_curr_dl(rq, p, 0);
else
resched_task(rq->curr);
This patch does two things:
- correctly accounts for throttled tasks (that are now considered
!running);
- fixes the bug, updating nr_running from {inc,dec}_dl_tasks(),
since we risk to update it twice in some situations (e.g., a
task is dequeued while it has exceeded its budget).

The finish_arch_post_lock_switch is called at the end of the task
switch after all locks have been released. In concept it is paired
with the switch_mm function, but the current code only does the
call in finish_task_switch. Add the call to idle_task_exit and
use_mm. One use case for the additional calls is s390 which will
use finish_arch_post_lock_switch to wait for the completion of
TLB flush operations.

Being able to change the trace clock at boot can be advantageous if
you need a better source of when things happen across CPUs. The default
trace clock is the fastest, but it uses local clocks which may not be
synced across CPUs and it does not let you know when events took place
with respect to events on other CPUs.
The global trace clock can help in this case, and if you do not care
about timings, the counter "clock" is the best, as that is just a simple
atomic counter that is incremented for every event.
Usage is to add "trace_clock=counter" on the kernel command line. You
can replace counter with "global" or any of the clocks listed in
/sys/kernel/debug/tracing/trace_clock

Support multi-buffer on uprobe-based dynamic events by
using ftrace_event_file.
This patch is based kprobe-based dynamic events multibuffer
support work initially, commited by Masami(commit 41a7dd420c),
but revised as below:
Oleg changed the kprobe-based multibuffer design from
array-pointers of ftrace_event_file into simple list,
so this patch also change to the list design.
rcu_read_lock/unlock added into uprobe_trace_func/uretprobe_trace_func,
to synchronize with ftrace_event_file list add and delete.
Even though we allow multi-uprobes instances now,
but TP_FLAG_PROFILE/TP_FLAG_TRACE are still mutually exclusive
in probe_event_enable currently, this means we cannot allow
one user is using uprobe-tracer, and another user is using
perf-probe on same uprobe concurrently.
(Perhaps this will be fix in future, kprobe don't have this
limitation now)

A single uprobe event might serve different users like ftrace and
perf. And this is especially important for upcoming multi buffer
support. But in this case it'll fetch (same) data from userspace
multiple times. So move it to the beginning of the dispatcher
function and reuse it for each users.

The uprobe_{trace,perf}_print functions are misnomers since what they
do is not printing. There's also a real print function named
print_uprobe_event() so they'll only increase confusion IMHO.
Rename them with double underscores to follow convention of kprobe.

Currently the tracers (function, function_graph, irqsoff, etc) can only
be used by the top level tracing directory (not for instances).
This sets up the infrastructure to allow instances to be able to
run a separate tracer apart from the what the top level tracing is
doing.
As tracers need to adapt for being used by instances, the tracers
must flag if they can be used by instances or not. Currently only the

In course of the sdhci/sdio discussion with Russell about killing the
sdio kthread hackery we discovered the need to be able to wake an
interrupt thread from software.
The rationale for this is, that sdio hardware can lack proper
interrupt support for certain features. So the driver needs to poll
the status registers, but at the same time it needs to be woken up by
an hardware interrupt.
To be able to get rid of the home brewn kthread construct of sdio we
need a way to wake an irq thread independent of an actual hardware
interrupt.
Provide an irq_wake_thread() function which wakes up the thread which
is associated to a given dev_id. This allows sdio to invoke the irq
thread from the hardware irq handler via the IRQ_WAKE_THREAD return
value and provides a possibility to wake it via a timer for the
polling scenarios. That allows to simplify the sdio logic
significantly.

synchronize_irq() waits for hard irq and threaded handlers to complete
before returning. For some special cases we only need to make sure
that the hard interrupt part of the irq line is not in progress when
we disabled the - possibly shared - interrupt at the device level.
A proper use case for this was provided by Russell. The sdhci driver
requires some irq triggered functions to be run in thread context. The
current implementation of the thread context is a sdio private kthread
construct, which has quite some shortcomings. These can be avoided
when the thread is directly associated to the device interrupt via the
generic threaded irq infrastructure.
Though there is a corner case related to run time power management
where one side disables the device interrupts at the device level and
needs to make sure, that an already running hard interrupt handler has
completed before proceeding further. Though that hard interrupt
handler might wake the associated thread, which in turn can request
the runtime PM to reenable the device. Using synchronize_irq() leads
to an immediate deadlock of the irq thread waiting for the PM lock and
the synchronize_irq() waiting for the irq thread to complete.
Due to the fact that it is sufficient for this case to ensure that no
hard irq handler is executing a new function which avoids the check
for the thread is required.
Add a function, which just monitors the hard irq parts and ignores the
threaded handlers.

The generic sched_clock registration function was previously
done lockless, due to the fact that it was expected to be called
only once. However, now there are systems that may register
multiple sched_clock sources, for which the lack of locking has
casued problems:
If two sched_clock sources are registered we may end up in a
situation where a call to sched_clock() may be accessing the
epoch cycle count for the old counter and the cycle count for the
new counter. This can lead to confusing results where
sched_clock() values jump and then are reset to 0 (due to the way
the registration function forces the epoch_ns to be 0).
Fix this by reorganizing the registration function to hold the
seqlock for as short a time as possible while we update the
clock_data structure for a new counter. We also put any
accumulated time into epoch_ns instead of resetting the time to
0 so that the clock doesn't reset after each successful
registration.

Currently, there's nothing preventing cgroup_enable_task_cg_lists()
from missing set PF_EXITING and race against cgroup_exit(). Depending
on the timing, cgroup_exit() may finish with the task still linked on
css_set leading to list corruption. Fix it by grabbing siglock in
cgroup_enable_task_cg_lists() so that PF_EXITING is guaranteed to be
visible.
This whole on-demand cg_list optimization is extremely fragile and has
ample possibility to lead to bugs which can cause things like
once-a-year oops during boot. I'm wondering whether the better
approach would be just adding "cgroup_disable=all" handling which
disables the whole cgroup rather than tempting fate with this
on-demand craziness.

When a kworker should die, the kworkre is notified through WORKER_DIE
flag instead of kthread_should_stop(). This, IIRC, is primarily to
keep the test synchronized inside worker_pool lock. WORKER_DIE is
first set while holding pool->lock, the lock is dropped and
kthread_stop() is called.
Unfortunately, this means that there's a slight chance that the target
kworker may see WORKER_DIE before kthread_stop() finishes and exits
and frees the target task before or during kthread_stop().
Fix it by pinning the target task before setting WORKER_DIE and
putting it after kthread_stop() is done.
tj: Improved patch description and comment. Moved pinning above
WORKER_DIE for better signify what it's protecting.

My rework of handling of notification events (namely commit 7053aee26a35
"fsnotify: do not share events between notification groups") broke
sending of cookies with inotify events. We didn't propagate the value
passed to fsnotify() properly and passed 4 uninitialized bytes to
userspace instead (so it is also an information leak). Sadly I didn't
notice this during my testing because inotify cookies aren't used very
much and LTP inotify tests ignore them.
Fix the problem by passing the cookie value properly.

All of the RCU source files have the usual GPL header, which contains a
long-obsolete postal address for FSF. To avoid the need to track the
FSF office's movements, this commit substitutes the URL where GPL may
be found.

The ->n_force_qs_lh field is accessed without the benefit of any
synchronization, so this commit adds the needed ACCESS_ONCE() wrappers.
Yes, increments to ->n_force_qs_lh can be lost, but contention should
be low and the field is strictly statistical in nature, so this is not
a problem.

This is not a buffer overflow in the traditional sense: we don't
overflow any *kernel* buffers, but we do mis-count the amount of data we
copy back to user space for the SYSLOG_ACTION_READ_ALL case.
In particular, if the user buffer is too small to hold everything, and
*if* there is a continuation line at just the right place, we can end up
giving the user more data than he asked for.
The reason is that we first count up the number of bytes all the log
records contains, then we walk the records again until we've skipped the
records at the beginning that won't fit, and then we walk the rest of
the records and copy them to the user space buffer.
And in between that "skip the initial records that won't fit" and the
"copy the records that *will* fit to user space", we reset the 'prev'
variable that contained the record information for the last record not
copied. That meant that when we started copying to user space, we now
had a different character count than what we had originally calculated
in the first record walk-through.
The fix is to simply not clear the 'prev' flags value (in both cases
where we had the same logic: syslog_print_all and kmsg_dump_get_buffer:
the latter is used for pstore-like dumping)

Pull irq update from Thomas Gleixner:
"Fix from the urgent branch: a trivial oneliner adding the missing
Kconfig dependency curing build failures which have been discovered by
several build robots.
The update in the irq-core branch provides a new function in the
irq/devres code, which is a prerequisite for driver developers to get
rid of boilerplate code all over the place.
Not a bugfix, but it has zero impact on the current kernel due to the
lack of users. It's simpler to provide the infrastructure to
interested parties via your tree than fulfilling the wishlist of
driver maintainers on which particular commit or tag this should be
based on"

Pull timer fixes from Thomas Gleixner:
"The following trilogy of patches brings you:
- fix for a long standing math overflow issue with HZ < 60
- an onliner fix for a corner case in the dreaded tick broadcast
mechanism affecting a certain range of AMD machines which are
infested with the infamous automagic C1E power control misfeature
- a fix for one of the ARM platforms which allows the kernel to
proceed and boot instead of stupidly panicing for no good reason.
The patch is slightly larger than necessary, but it's less ugly
than the alternative 5 liner"

This bit of information is in the Kconfig help text:
"Note the boot CPU will still be kept outside the range to
handle the timekeeping duty."
However neither the variable NO_HZ_FULL_ALL, or the prompt
convey this important detail, so lets add it to the prompt
to make it more explicitly obvious to the average user.

When a timer is enqueued or modified on a remote target, the latter is
expected to see and handle this timer on its next tick. However if the
target is idle and CONFIG_NO_HZ_IDLE=y, the CPU may be sleeping tickless
and the timer may be ignored.
wake_up_nohz_cpu() takes care of that by setting TIF_NEED_RESCHED and
sending an IPI to idle targets so that the tick is reevaluated on the
idle loop through the tick_nohz_idle_*() APIs.
Now this is all performed regardless of the power properties of the
timer. If the timer is deferrable, idle targets don't need to be woken
up. Only the next buzy tick needs to care about it, and no IPI kick
is needed for that to happen.
So lets spare the IPI on idle targets when the timer is deferrable.
Meanwhile we keep the current behaviour on full dynticks targets. We can
spare IPIs on idle full dynticks targets as well but some tricky races
against idle_cpu() must be dealt all along to make sure that the timer
is well handled after idle exit. We can deal with that later since
NO_HZ_FULL already has more important powersaving issues.

Here is the workaround I made for having the kernel not reject modules
built with -flto. The clean solution would be to get the compiler to not
emit the symbol. Or if it has to emit the symbol, then emit it as
initialized data but put it into a comdat/linkonce section.
Minor tweaks by AK over Joe's patch.
