On devices with a CPU that contains heterogeneous cores (e.g.,
big.LITTLE), it can be beneficial to place some performance-critical
IRQs and kthreads onto the performance CPU cluster in order to improve
performance.
This commit adds the following APIs:
-kthread_run_perf_critical() to create and start a perf-critical kthread
-irq_set_perf_affinity() to mark an active IRQ as perf-critical
-IRQF_PERF_CRITICAL to schedule an IRQ and any threads it may have onto
performance CPUs
-PF_PERF_CRITICAL to mark a process (mainly a kthread) as performance
critical (this is used by kthread_run_perf_critical())
In order to accommodate this new API, the following changes are made:
-Performance-critical IRQs are distributed evenly among online CPUs
available in cpu_perf_mask
-Performance-critical IRQs have their affinities reaffined upon exit
from suspend (since the affinities are broken when non-boot CPUs are
disabled)
-Performance-critical IRQs and their threads have their affinities reset
upon entering suspend, so that upon immediate suspend exit (when only
the boot CPU is online), interrupts can be processed and interrupt
threads can be scheduled onto an online CPU (otherwise we'd hit a
kernel BUG)
-__set_cpus_allowed_ptr() is modified to enforce a performance-critical
kthread's affinity
-Perf-critical IRQs are marked with IRQD_AFFINITY_MANAGED so userspace
can't mess with their affinity

commit 8096f229421f7b22433775e928d506f0342e5907 upstream.
For the bpf syscall, we are relying on the compiler to properly zero out
the bpf_attr union that we copy userspace data into. Unfortunately that
doesn't always work properly, padding and other oddities might not be
correctly zeroed, and in some tests odd things have been found when the
stack is pre-initialized to other values.
Fix this by explicitly memsetting the structure to 0 before using it.

commit df81dfcfd6991d547653d46c051bac195cd182c1 upstream.
The handling of notify->work did not properly maintain notify->kref in two
cases:
1) where the work was already scheduled, another irq_set_affinity_locked()
would get the ref and (no-op-ly) schedule the work. Thus when
irq_affinity_notify() ran, it would drop the original ref but not the
additional one.
2) when cancelling the (old) work in irq_set_affinity_notifier(), if there
was outstanding work a ref had been got for it but was never put.
Fix both by checking the return values of the work handling functions
(schedule_work() for (1) and cancel_work_sync() for (2)) and put the
extra ref if the return value indicates preexisting work.

commit 763802b53a427ed3cbd419dbba255c414fdd9e7c upstream.
Commit 3f8fd02b1bf1 ("mm/vmalloc: Sync unmappings in
__purge_vmap_area_lazy()") introduced a call to vmalloc_sync_all() in
the vunmap() code-path. While this change was necessary to maintain
correctness on x86-32-pae kernels, it also adds additional cycles for
architectures that don't need it.
Specifically on x86-64 with CONFIG_VMAP_STACK=y some people reported
severe performance regressions in micro-benchmarks because it now also
calls the x86-64 implementation of vmalloc_sync_all() on vunmap(). But
the vmalloc_sync_all() implementation on x86-64 is only needed for newly
created mappings.
To avoid the unnecessary work on x86-64 and to gain the performance
back, split up vmalloc_sync_all() into two functions:
* vmalloc_sync_mappings(), and
* vmalloc_sync_unmappings()
Most call-sites to vmalloc_sync_all() only care about new mappings being
synchronized. The only exception is the new call-site added in the
above mentioned commit.
Shile Zhang directed us to a report of an 80% regression in reaim
throughput.

[ Upstream commit fda31c50292a5062332fa0343c084bd9f46604d9 ]
When queueing a signal, we increment both the users count of pending
signals (for RLIMIT_SIGPENDING tracking) and we increment the refcount
of the user struct itself (because we keep a reference to the user in
the signal structure in order to correctly account for it when freeing).
That turns out to be fairly expensive, because both of them are atomic
updates, and particularly under extreme signal handling pressure on big
machines, you can get a lot of cache contention on the user struct.
That can then cause horrid cacheline ping-pong when you do these
multiple accesses.
So change the reference counting to only pin the user for the _first_
pending signal, and to unpin it when the last pending signal is
dequeued. That means that when a user sees a lot of concurrent signal
queuing - which is the only situation when this matters - the only
atomic access needed is generally the 'sigpending' count update.
This was noticed because of a particularly odd timing artifact on a
dual-socket 96C/192T Cascade Lake platform: when you get into bad
contention, on that machine for some reason seems to be much worse when
the contention happens in the upper 32-byte half of the cacheline.
As a result, the kernel test robot will-it-scale 'signal1' benchmark had
an odd performance regression simply due to random alignment of the
'struct user_struct' (and pointed to a completely unrelated and
apparently nonsensical commit for the regression).
Avoiding the double increments (and decrements on the dequeueing side,
of course) makes for much less contention and hugely improved
performance on that will-it-scale microbenchmark.
Quoting Feng Tang:
"It makes a big difference, that the performance score is tripled! bump
from original 17000 to 54000. Also the gap between 5.0-rc6 and
5.0-rc6+Jiri's patch is reduced to around 2%"
[ The "2% gap" is the odd cacheline placement difference on that
platform: under the extreme contention case, the effect of which half
of the cacheline was hot was 5%, so with the reduced contention the
odd timing artifact is reduced too ]
It does help in the non-contended case too, but is not nearly as
noticeable.

commit 2ad3e17ebf94b7b7f3f64c050ff168f9915345eb upstream.
Commit 219ca39427bf ("audit: use union for audit_field values since
they are mutually exclusive") combined a number of separate fields in
the audit_field struct into a single union. Generally this worked
just fine because they are generally mutually exclusive.
Unfortunately in audit_data_to_entry() the overlap can be a problem
when a specific error case is triggered that causes the error path
code to attempt to cleanup an audit_field struct and the cleanup
involves attempting to free a stored LSM string (the lsm_str field).
Currently the code always has a non-NULL value in the
audit_field.lsm_str field as the top of the for-loop transfers a
value into audit_field.val (both .lsm_str and .val are part of the
same union); if audit_data_to_entry() fails and the audit_field
struct is specified to contain a LSM string, but the
audit_field.lsm_str has not yet been properly set, the error handling
code will attempt to free the bogus audit_field.lsm_str value that
was set with audit_field.val at the top of the for-loop.
This patch corrects this by ensuring that the audit_field.val is only
set when needed (it is cleared when the audit_field struct is
allocated with kcalloc()). It also corrects a few other issues to
ensure that in case of error the proper error code is returned.

needed to deal with clean up a bit better (if two stat tracers were the
same, it would have the same files).
But to make the code cleaner, all we needed to do is to keep the
all_stat_sessions_mutex held for most of the registering function.

commit 07928d9bfc81640bab36f5190e8725894d93b659 upstream.
The function padata_flush_queues is fundamentally broken because
it cannot force padata users to complete the request that is
underway. IOW padata has to passively wait for the completion
of any outstanding work.
As it stands flushing is used in two places. Its use in padata_stop
is simply unnecessary because nothing depends on the queues to
be flushed afterwards.
The other use in padata_replace is more substantial as we depend
on it to free the old pd structure. This patch instead uses the
pd->refcnt to dynamically free the pd structure once all requests
are complete.

[ Upstream commit 33da8e7c814f77310250bb54a9db36a44c5de784 ]
My recent to change to only use force_sig for a synchronous events
wound up breaking signal reception cifs and drbd. I had overlooked
the fact that by default kthreads start out with all signals set to
SIG_IGN. So a change I thought was safe turned out to have made it
impossible for those kernel thread to catch their signals.
Reverting the work on force_sig is a bad idea because what the code
was doing was very much a misuse of force_sig. As the way force_sig
ultimately allowed the signal to happen was to change the signal
handler to SIG_DFL. Which after the first signal will allow userspace
to send signals to these kernel threads. At least for
wake_ack_receiver in drbd that does not appear actively wrong.
So correct this problem by adding allow_kernel_signal that will allow
signals whose siginfo reports they were sent by the kernel through,
but will not allow userspace generated signals, and update cifs and
drbd to call allow_kernel_signal in an appropriate place so that their
thread can receive this signal.
Fixing things this way ensures that userspace won't be able to send
signals and cause problems, that it is clear which signals the
threads are expecting to receive, and it guarantees that nothing
else in the system will be affected.
This change was partly inspired by similar cifs and drbd patches that
added allow_signal.

On some archs with some configurations, MCOUNT_INSN_SIZE is not defined, and
this makes the stack tracer fail to compile. Just define it to zero in this
case.

[ Upstream commit 1a365e822372ba24c9da0822bc583894f6f3d821 ]
This fixes various data races in spinlock_debug. By testing with KCSAN,
it is observable that the console gets spammed with data races reports,
suggesting these are extremely frequent.

<snip>
As a side-effect, with KCSAN, this eventually locks up the console, most
likely due to deadlock, e.g. .. -> printk lock -> spinlock_debug ->
KCSAN detects data race -> kcsan_print_report() -> printk lock ->
deadlock.
This fix will 1) avoid the data races, and 2) allow using lock debugging
together with KCSAN.

[ Upstream commit 204cb79ad42f015312a5bbd7012d09c93d9b46fb ]
Currently, the drop_caches proc file and sysctl read back the last value
written, suggesting this is somehow a stateful setting instead of a
one-time command. Make it write-only, like e.g. compact_memory.
While mitigating a VM problem at scale in our fleet, there was confusion
about whether writing to this file will permanently switch the kernel into
a non-caching mode. This influences the decision making in a tense
situation, where tens of people are trying to fix tens of thousands of
affected machines: Do we need a rollback strategy? What are the
performance implications of operating in a non-caching state for several
days? It also caused confusion when the kernel team said we may need to
write the file several times to make sure it's effective ("But it already
reads back 3?").

008847f66c3 ("workqueue: allow rescuer thread to do more work.") made
the rescuer worker requeue the pwq immediately if there may be more
work items which need rescuing instead of waiting for the next mayday
timer expiration. Unfortunately, it doesn't check whether the pwq is
already on the mayday list and unconditionally gets the ref and moves
it onto the list. This doesn't corrupt the list but creates an
additional reference to the pwq. It got queued twice but will only be
removed once.
This leak later can trigger pwq refcnt warning on workqueue
destruction and prevent freeing of the workqueue.

commit def98c84b6cdf2eeea19ec5736e90e316df5206b upstream.
Before actually destrying a workqueue, destroy_workqueue() checks
whether it's actually idle. If it isn't, it prints out a bunch of
warning messages and leaves the workqueue dangling. It unfortunately
has a couple issues.
* Mayday list queueing increments pwq's refcnts which gets detected as
busy and fails the sanity checks. However, because mayday list
queueing is asynchronous, this condition can happen without any
actual work items left in the workqueue.
* Sanity check failure leaves the sysfs interface behind too which can
lead to init failure of newer instances of the workqueue.
This patch fixes the above two by
* If a workqueue has a rescuer, disable and kill the rescuer before
sanity checks. Disabling and killing is guaranteed to flush the
existing mayday list.
* Remove sysfs interface before sanity checks.

commit 4929a4e6faa0f13289a67cae98139e727f0d4a97 upstream.
The quota/period ratio is used to ensure a child task group won't get
more bandwidth than the parent task group, and is calculated as:
normalized_cfs_quota() = [(quota_us << 20) / period_us]
If the quota/period ratio was changed during this scaling due to
precision loss, it will cause inconsistency between parent and child
task groups.
See below example:
A userspace container manager (kubelet) does three operations:
1) Create a parent cgroup, set quota to 1,000us and period to 10,000us.
2) Create a few children cgroups.
3) Set quota to 1,000us and period to 10,000us on a child cgroup.
These operations are expected to succeed. However, if the scaling of
147/128 happens before step 3, quota and period of the parent cgroup
will be changed:
new_quota: 1148437ns, 1148us
new_period: 11484375ns, 11484us
And when step 3 comes in, the ratio of the child cgroup will be
104857, which will be larger than the parent cgroup ratio (104821),
and will fail.
Scaling them by a factor of 2 will fix the problem.

[ Upstream commit 3f130a37c442d5c4d66531b240ebe9abfef426b5 ]
When load_balance() fails to move some load because of task affinity,
we end up increasing sd->balance_interval to delay the next periodic
balance in the hopes that next time we look, that annoying pinned
task(s) will be gone.
However, idle_balance() pays no attention to sd->balance_interval, yet
it will still lead to an increase in balance_interval in case of
pinned tasks.
If we're going through several newidle balances (e.g. we have a
periodic task), this can lead to a huge increase of the
balance_interval in a very small amount of time.
To prevent that, don't increase the balance interval when going
through a newidle balance.
This is a similar approach to what is done in commit 58b26c4c0257
("sched: Increment cache_nice_tries only on periodic lb"), where we
disregard newidle balance and rely on periodic balance for more stable
results.

integer:
int free;
free = __LOG_BUF_LEN - log_next_idx;
pr_info("early log buf free: %u(%u%%)\n",
free, (free * 100) / __LOG_BUF_LEN);
We support LOG_BUF_LEN of up to 1<<25 bytes. Since setup_log_buf() is
called during early init, logbuf is mostly empty, so
__LOG_BUF_LEN - log_next_idx
is close to 1<<25. Thus when we multiply it by 100, we overflow signed
integer value range: 100 is 2^6 + 2^5 + 2^2.
Example, booting with LOG_BUF_LEN 1<<25 and log_buf_len=2G

[ 0.075319] early log buf free: 33549896(-28%)

For userspace to tell the difference between a random signal and an
exception, the exception must include siginfo information.
Using SEND_SIG_FORCED for SIGILL is thus wrong, and it will result
in userspace seeing si_code == SI_USER (like a random signal) instead
of si_code == SI_KERNEL or a more specific si_code as all exceptions
deliver.
Therefore replace force_sig_info(SIGILL, SEND_SIG_FORCE, current)
with force_sig(SIG_ILL, current) which gets this right and is
shorter and easier to type.

It caught the process in the middle of trace_access_unlock(). There is
no loop. So, it must be looping in the caller tracing_read_pipe()
via the "waitagain" label.
Crashdump analyze uncovered that iter->seq was completely zeroed
at this point, including iter->seq.seq.size. It means that
print_trace_line() was never able to print anything and
there was no forward progress.
The culprit seems to be in the code:
/* reset all but tr, trace, and overruns */
memset(&iter->seq, 0,
sizeof(struct trace_iterator) -
offsetof(struct trace_iterator, seq));
It was added by the commit 53d0aa773053ab182877 ("ftrace:
add logic to record overruns"). It was v2.6.27-rc1.
It was the time when iter->seq looked like:
struct trace_seq {
unsigned char buffer[PAGE_SIZE];
unsigned int len;
};
There was no "size" variable and zeroing was perfectly fine.
The solution is to reinitialize the structure after or without
zeroing.

commit 194c2c74f5532e62c218adeb8e2b683119503907 upstream.
As instances may have different tracers available, we need to look at the
trace_array descriptor that shows the list of the available tracers for the
instance. But there's a race between opening the file and an admin
deleting the instance. The trace_array_get() needs to be called before
accessing the trace_array.

commit b0f53dbc4bc4c371f38b14c391095a3bb8a0bb40 upstream.
Partially revert 16db3d3f1170 ("kernel/sysctl.c: threads-max observe
limits") because the patch is causing a regression to any workload which
needs to override the auto-tuning of the limit provided by kernel.
set_max_threads is implementing a boot time guesstimate to provide a
sensible limit of the concurrently running threads so that runaways will
not deplete all the memory. This is a good thing in general but there
are workloads which might need to increase this limit for an application
to run (reportedly WebSpher MQ is affected) and that is simply not
possible after the mentioned change. It is also very dubious to
override an admin decision by an estimation that doesn't have any direct
relation to correctness of the kernel operation.
Fix this by dropping set_max_threads from sysctl_max_threads so any
value is accepted as long as it fits into MAX_THREADS which is important
to check because allowing more threads could break internal robust futex
restriction. While at it, do not use MIN_THREADS as the lower boundary
because it is also only a heuristic for automatic estimation and admin
might have a good reason to stop new threads to be created even when
below this limit.
This became more severe when we switched x86 from 4k to 8k kernel
stacks. Starting since 6538b8ea886e ("x86_64: expand kernel stack to
16K") (3.16) we use THREAD_SIZE_ORDER = 2 and that halved the auto-tuned
value.
In the particular case
3.12
kernel.threads-max = 515561
4.4
kernel.threads-max = 200000
Neither of the two values is really insane on 32GB machine.
I am not sure we want/need to tune the max_thread value further. If
anything the tuning should be removed altogether if proven not useful in
general. But we definitely need a way to override this auto-tuning.

commit 20bb759a66be52cf4a9ddd17fddaf509e11490cd upstream.
Calling 'panic()' on a kernel with CONFIG_PREEMPT=y can leave the
calling CPU in an infinite loop, but with interrupts and preemption
enabled. From this state, userspace can continue to be scheduled,
despite the system being "dead" as far as the kernel is concerned.
This is easily reproducible on arm64 when booting with "nosmp" on the
command line; a couple of shell scripts print out a periodic "Ping"
message whilst another triggers a crash by writing to
/proc/sysrq-trigger:

The issue can also be triggered on x86 kernels if CONFIG_SMP=n,
otherwise local interrupts are disabled in 'smp_send_stop()'.
Disable preemption in 'panic()' before re-enabling interrupts.
