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Looks like it's essentially unused and has been replaced by better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.

this is no longer holds for driver-managed system RAM (i.e., added via

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

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().

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

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].

Current users of the rstat code can source root-level statistics from
the native counters of their respective subsystem, allowing them to
forego aggregation at the root level. This optimization is currently
implemented inside the generic rstat code, which doesn't track the root
cgroup and doesn't invoke the subsystem flush callbacks on it.
However, the memory controller cannot do this optimization, because
cgroup1 breaks out memory specifically for the local level, including at
the root level. In preparation for the memory controller switching to
rstat, move the optimization from rstat core to the controllers.
Afterwards, rstat will always track the root cgroup for changes and
invoke the subsystem callbacks on it; and it's up to the subsystem to
special-case and skip aggregation of the root cgroup if it can source
this information through other, cheaper means.
This is the case for the io controller and the cgroup base stats. In
their respective flush callbacks, check whether the parent is the root
cgroup, and if so, skip the unnecessary upward propagation.
The extra cost of tracking the root cgroup is negligible: on stat
changes, we actually remove a branch that checks for the root. The
queueing for a flush touches only per-cpu data, and only the first stat
change since a flush requires a (per-cpu) lock.

Rstat currently only supports the default hierarchy in cgroup2. In
order to replace memcg's private stats infrastructure - used in both
cgroup1 and cgroup2 - with rstat, the latter needs to support cgroup1.
The initialization and destruction callbacks for regular cgroups are
already in place. Remove the cgroup_on_dfl() guards to handle cgroup1.
The initialization of the root cgroup is currently hardcoded to only
handle cgrp_dfl_root.cgrp. Move those callbacks to cgroup_setup_root()
and cgroup_destroy_root() to handle the default root as well as the
various cgroup1 roots we may set up during mounting.
The linking of css to cgroups happens in code shared between cgroup1 and
cgroup2 as well. Simply remove the cgroup_on_dfl() guard.
Linkage of the root css to the root cgroup is a bit trickier: per
default, the root css of a subsystem controller belongs to the default
hierarchy (i.e. the cgroup2 root). When a controller is mounted in its
cgroup1 version, the root css is stolen and moved to the cgroup1 root;
on unmount, the css moves back to the default hierarchy. Annotate
rebind_subsystems() to move the root css linkage along between roots.

For simplification commit 991e767385 ("mm: memcontrol: account kernel
stack per node") changed the per zone vmalloc backed stack pages
accounting to per node.
By doing that we have lost a certain precision because those pages might
live in different NUMA nodes. In the end NR_KERNEL_STACK_KB exported to
the userspace might be over estimated on some nodes while underestimated
on others. But this is not a real world problem, just a problem found
by reading the code. So there is no actual data to showing how much
impact it has on users.
This doesn't impose any real problem to correctnes of the kernel
behavior as the counter is not used for any internal processing but it
can cause some confusion to the userspace.
Address the problem by accounting each vmalloc backing page to its own
node.

Commit d6ad3e286d ("softlockup: Add sched_clock_tick() to avoid kernel
warning on kgdb resume") introduced touch_softlockup_watchdog_sync().
It solved a problem when the watchdog was touched in an atomic context,
the timer callback was proceed right after releasing interrupts, and the
local clock has not been updated yet. In this case, sched_clock_tick()
was called in watchdog_timer_fn() before updating the timer.
So far so good.
Later commit 5d1c0f4a80 ("watchdog: add check for suspended vm in
softlockup detector") added two kvm_check_and_clear_guest_paused()
calls. They touch the watchdog when the guest has been sleeping.
The code makes my head spin around.
Scenario 1:
+ guest did sleep:
+ PVCLOCK_GUEST_STOPPED is set
+ 1st watchdog_timer_fn() invocation:
+ the watchdog is not touched yet
+ is_softlockup() returns too big delay
+ kvm_check_and_clear_guest_paused():
+ clear PVCLOCK_GUEST_STOPPED
+ call touch_softlockup_watchdog_sync()
+ set SOFTLOCKUP_DELAY_REPORT
+ set softlockup_touch_sync
+ return from the timer callback
+ 2nd watchdog_timer_fn() invocation:
+ call sched_clock_tick() even though it is not needed.
The timer callback was invoked again only because the clock
has already been updated in the meantime.
+ call kvm_check_and_clear_guest_paused() that does nothing
because PVCLOCK_GUEST_STOPPED has been cleared already.
+ call update_report_ts() and return. This is fine. Except
that sched_clock_tick() might allow to set it already
during the 1st invocation.
Scenario 2:
+ guest did sleep
+ 1st watchdog_timer_fn() invocation
+ same as in 1st scenario
+ guest did sleep again:
+ set PVCLOCK_GUEST_STOPPED again
+ 2nd watchdog_timer_fn() invocation
+ SOFTLOCKUP_DELAY_REPORT is set from 1st invocation
+ call sched_clock_tick()
+ call kvm_check_and_clear_guest_paused()
+ clear PVCLOCK_GUEST_STOPPED
+ call touch_softlockup_watchdog_sync()
+ set SOFTLOCKUP_DELAY_REPORT
+ set softlockup_touch_sync
+ call update_report_ts() (set real timestamp immediately)
+ return from the timer callback
+ 3rd watchdog_timer_fn() invocation
+ timestamp is set from 2nd invocation
+ softlockup_touch_sync is set but not checked because
the real timestamp is already set
Make the code more straightforward:
1. Always call kvm_check_and_clear_guest_paused() at the very
beginning to handle PVCLOCK_GUEST_STOPPED. It touches the watchdog
when the quest did sleep.
2. Handle the situation when the watchdog has been touched
(SOFTLOCKUP_DELAY_REPORT is set).
Call sched_clock_tick() when touch_*sync() variant was used. It makes
sure that the timestamp will be up to date even when it has been
touched in atomic context or quest did sleep.
As a result, kvm_check_and_clear_guest_paused() is called on a single
location. And the right timestamp is always set when returning from the
timer callback.

The softlockup detector does some gymnastic with the variable
soft_watchdog_warn. It was added by the commit 58687acba5
("lockup_detector: Combine nmi_watchdog and softlockup detector").
The purpose is not completely clear. There are the following clues. They
describe the situation how it looked after the above mentioned commit:
1. The variable was checked with a comment "only warn once".
2. The variable was set when softlockup was reported. It was cleared
only when the CPU was not longer in the softlockup state.
3. watchdog_touch_ts was not explicitly updated when the softlockup
was reported. Without this variable, the report would normally
be printed again during every following watchdog_timer_fn()
invocation.
The logic has got even more tangled up by the commit ed235875e2
("kernel/watchdog.c: print traces for all cpus on lockup detection").
After this commit, soft_watchdog_warn is set only when
softlockup_all_cpu_backtrace is enabled. But multiple reports from all
CPUs are prevented by a new variable soft_lockup_nmi_warn.
Conclusion:
The variable probably never worked as intended. In each case, it has not
worked last many years because the softlockup was reported repeatedly
after the full period defined by watchdog_thresh.
The reason is that watchdog gets touched in many known slow paths, for
example, in printk_stack_address(). This code is called also when
printing the softlockup report. It means that the watchdog timestamp gets
updated after each report.
Solution:
Simply remove the logic. People want the periodic report anyway.

The softlockup detector currently shows the time spent since the last
report. As a result it is not clear whether a CPU is infinitely hogged by
a single task or if it is a repeated event.
The situation can be simulated with a simply busy loop:
while (true)
cpu_relax();
The softlockup detector produces:
[ 168.277520] watchdog: BUG: soft lockup - CPU#1 stuck for 22s! [cat:4865]
[ 196.277604] watchdog: BUG: soft lockup - CPU#1 stuck for 22s! [cat:4865]
[ 236.277522] watchdog: BUG: soft lockup - CPU#1 stuck for 23s! [cat:4865]
But it should be, something like:
[ 480.372418] watchdog: BUG: soft lockup - CPU#2 stuck for 26s! [cat:4943]
[ 508.372359] watchdog: BUG: soft lockup - CPU#2 stuck for 52s! [cat:4943]
[ 548.372359] watchdog: BUG: soft lockup - CPU#2 stuck for 89s! [cat:4943]
[ 576.372351] watchdog: BUG: soft lockup - CPU#2 stuck for 115s! [cat:4943]
For the better output, add an additional timestamp of the last report.
Only this timestamp is reset when the watchdog is intentionally touched
from slow code paths or when printing the report.

The softlockup situation might stay for a long time or even forever. When
it happens, the softlockup debug messages are printed in regular intervals
defined by get_softlockup_thresh().
There is a mystery. The repeated message is printed after the full
interval that is defined by get_softlockup_thresh(). But the timer
callback is called more often as defined by sample_period. The code looks
like the soflockup should get reported in every sample_period when it was
once behind the thresh.
It works only by chance. The watchdog is touched when printing the stall
report, for example, in printk_stack_address().
Make the behavior clear and predictable by explicitly updating the
timestamp in watchdog_timer_fn() when the report gets printed.

Patch series "watchdog/softlockup: Report overall time and some cleanup", v2.
I dug deep into the softlockup watchdog history when time permitted this
year. And reworked the patchset that fixed timestamps and cleaned up the
code[2].
I split it into very small steps and did even more code clean up. The
result looks quite strightforward and I am pretty confident with the
changes.
[1] v2: https://lore.kernel.org/r/20201210160038.31441-1-pmladek@suse.com
[2] v1: https://lore.kernel.org/r/20191024114928.15377-1-pmladek@suse.com
This patch (of 6):
There are many touch_*watchdog() functions. They are called in situations
where the watchdog could report false positives or create unnecessary
noise. For example, when CPU is entering idle mode, a virtual machine is
stopped, or a lot of messages are printed in the atomic context.
These functions set SOFTLOCKUP_RESET instead of a real timestamp. It
allows to call them even in a context where jiffies might be outdated.
For example, in an atomic context.
The real timestamp is set by __touch_watchdog() that is called from the
watchdog timer callback.
Rename this callback to update_touch_ts(). It better describes the effect
and clearly distinguish is from the other touch_*watchdog() functions.
Another motivation is that two timestamps are going to be used. One will
be used for the total softlockup time. The other will be used to measure
time since the last report. The new function name will help to
distinguish which timestamp is being updated.

Pull io_uring updates from Jens Axboe:
- Support for multi-shot mode for POLL requests
- More efficient reference counting. This is shamelessly stolen from
the mm side. Even though referencing is mostly single/dual user, the
128 count was retained to keep the code the same. Maybe this
should/could be made generic at some point.
- Removal of the need to have a manager thread for each ring. The
manager threads only job was checking and creating new io-threads as
needed, instead we handle this from the queue path.
- Allow SQPOLL without CAP_SYS_ADMIN or CAP_SYS_NICE. Since 5.12, this
thread is "just" a regular application thread, so no need to restrict
use of it anymore.
- Cleanup of how internal async poll data lifetime is managed.
- Fix for syzbot reported crash on SQPOLL cancelation.
- Make buffer registration more like file registrations, which includes
flexibility in avoiding full set unregistration and re-registration.
- Fix for io-wq affinity setting.
- Be a bit more defensive in task->pf_io_worker setup.
- Various SQPOLL fixes.
- Cleanup of SQPOLL creds handling.
- Improvements to in-flight request tracking.
- File registration cleanups.
- Tons of cleanups and little fixes

- Improve Intel uncore PMU support:
- Parse uncore 'discovery tables' - a new hardware capability enumeration method
introduced on the latest Intel platforms. This table is in a well-defined PCI
namespace location and is read via MMIO. It is organized in an rbtree.
These uncore tables will allow the discovery of standard counter blocks, but
fancier counters still need to be enumerated explicitly.
- Add Alder Lake support
- Improve IIO stacks to PMON mapping support on Skylake servers
- Add Intel Alder Lake PMU support - which requires the introduction of 'hybrid' CPUs
and PMUs. Alder Lake is a mix of Golden Cove ('big') and Gracemont ('small' - Atom derived)
cores.
The CPU-side feature set is entirely symmetrical - but on the PMU side there's
core type dependent PMU functionality.
- Reduce data loss with CPU level hardware tracing on Intel PT / AUX profiling, by
fixing the AUX allocation watermark logic.
- Improve ring buffer allocation on NUMA systems
- Put 'struct perf_event' into their separate kmem_cache pool
- Add support for synchronous signals for select perf events. The immediate motivation
is to support low-overhead sampling-based race detection for user-space code. The
feature consists of the following main changes:
- Add thread-only event inheritance via perf_event_attr::inherit_thread, which limits
inheritance of events to CLONE_THREAD.
- Add the ability for events to not leak through exec(), via perf_event_attr::remove_on_exec.
- Allow the generation of SIGTRAP via perf_event_attr::sigtrap, extend siginfo with an u64
::si_perf, and add the breakpoint information to ::si_addr and ::si_perf if the event is
PERF_TYPE_BREAKPOINT.
The siginfo support is adequate for breakpoints right now - but the new field can be used
to introduce support for other types of metadata passed over siginfo as well.
- Misc fixes, cleanups and smaller updates.
