When we have group with mixed events (hw/sw) we want to end up
with group leader being in hw context. So if group leader is
initialy sw event, we move all the events under hw context.
The move is done for each event by removing it from its context
and adding it back into proper one. As a part of the removal the
event is automatically disabled, which is not what we want at
this stage of creating groups.
The fix is to initialize event state after removal from sw
context.
This fix resulted from the following discussion:

about it being potentially unused:

When the system has multiple domains do_sched_rt_period_timer()
can run on any CPU and may iterate over all rt_rq in
cpu_online_mask. This means when balance_runtime() is run for a
given rt_rq that rt_rq may be in a different rd than the current
processor. Thus if we use smp_processor_id() to get rd in
do_balance_runtime() we may borrow runtime from a rt_rq that is
not part of our rd.
This changes do_balance_runtime to get the rd from the passed in
rt_rq ensuring that we borrow runtime only from the correct rd
for the given rt_rq.
This fixes a BUG at kernel/sched/rt.c:687! in __disable_runtime
when we try reclaim runtime lent to other rt_rq but runtime has
been lent to a rt_rq in another rd.

Commit 083b804c4d3e ("async: use workqueue for worker pool") made it
possible that async jobs are moved from pending to running out-of-order.
While pending async jobs will be queued and dispatched for execution in
the same order, nothing guarantees they'll enter "1) move self to the
running queue" of async_run_entry_fn() in the same order.
Before the conversion, async implemented its own worker pool. An async
worker, upon being woken up, fetches the first item from the pending
list, which kept the executing lists sorted. The conversion to
workqueue was done by adding work_struct to each async_entry and async
just schedules the work item. The queueing and dispatching of such work
items are still in order but now each worker thread is associated with a
specific async_entry and moves that specific async_entry to the
executing list. So, depending on which worker reaches that point
earlier, which is non-deterministic, we may end up moving an async_entry
with larger cookie before one with smaller one.
This broke __lowest_in_progress(). running->domain may not be properly
sorted and is not guaranteed to contain lower cookies than pending list
when not empty. Fix it by ensuring sort-inserting to the running list
and always looking at both pending and running when trying to determine
the lowest cookie.
Over time, the async synchronization implementation became quite messy.
We better restructure it such that each async_entry is linked to two
lists - one global and one per domain - and not move it when execution
starts. There's no reason to distinguish pending and running. They
behave the same for synchronization purposes.

Pull ftrace fix from Steven Rostedt:
"Kprobes now uses the function tracer if it can. That is, if a probe
is placed on a function mcount/nop location, and the arch supports it,
instead of adding a breakpoint, kprobes will register a function
callback as that is much more efficient.
The function tracer requires to update modules before they run, and
uses the module notifier to do so. But if something else in the
module notifiers registers a kprobe at one of these locations, before
ftrace can get to it, then the system could fail.
The function tracer must be initialized early, otherwise module
notifiers that probe will only work by chance."

putreg() assumes that the tracee is not running and pt_regs_access() can
safely play with its stack. However a killed tracee can return from
ptrace_stop() to the low-level asm code and do RESTORE_REST, this means
that debugger can actually read/modify the kernel stack until the tracee
does SAVE_REST again.
set_task_blockstep() can race with SIGKILL too and in some sense this
race is even worse, the very fact the tracee can be woken up breaks the
logic.
As Linus suggested we can clear TASK_WAKEKILL around the arch_ptrace()
call, this ensures that nobody can ever wakeup the tracee while the
debugger looks at it. Not only this fixes the mentioned problems, we
can do some cleanups/simplifications in arch_ptrace() paths.
Probably ptrace_unfreeze_traced() needs more callers, for example it
makes sense to make the tracee killable for oom-killer before
access_process_vm().
While at it, add the comment into may_ptrace_stop() to explain why
ptrace_stop() still can't rely on SIGKILL and signal_pending_state().

Cleanup and preparation for the next change.
signal_wake_up(resume => true) is overused. None of ptrace/jctl callers
actually want to wakeup a TASK_WAKEKILL task, but they can't specify the
necessary mask.
Turn signal_wake_up() into signal_wake_up_state(state), reintroduce
signal_wake_up() as a trivial helper, and add ptrace_signal_wake_up()
which adds __TASK_TRACED.
This way ptrace_signal_wake_up() can work "inside" ptrace_request()
even if the tracee doesn't have the TASK_WAKEKILL bit set.

If some other kernel subsystem has a module notifier, and adds a kprobe
to a ftrace mcount point (now that kprobes work on ftrace points),
when the ftrace notifier runs it will fail and disable ftrace, as well
as kprobes that are attached to ftrace points.

actual: cc:bb:d2:4b:e1
A kprobe was added to the init_once() function in the fat module on load.
But this happened before ftrace could have touched the code. As ftrace
didn't run yet, the kprobe system had no idea it was a ftrace point and
simply added a breakpoint to the code (0xcc in the cc:bb:d2:4b:e1).
Then when ftrace went to modify the location from a call to mcount/fentry
into a nop, it didn't see a call op, but instead it saw the breakpoint op
and not knowing what to do with it, ftrace shut itself down.
The solution is to simply give the ftrace module notifier the max priority.
This should have been done regardless, as the core code ftrace modification
also happens very early on in boot up. This makes the module modification
closer to core modification.

Commit 1fb9341ac348 ("module: put modules in list much earlier") moved
some of the module initialization code around, and in the process
changed the exit paths too. But for the duplicate export symbol error
case the change made the ddebug_cleanup path jump to after the module
mutex unlock, even though it happens with the mutex held.
Rusty has some patches to split this function up into some helper

If the default iosched is built as module, the kernel may deadlock
while trying to load the iosched module on device probe if the probing
was running off async. This is because async_synchronize_full() at
the end of module init ends up waiting for the async job which
initiated the module loading.
async A modprobe
1. finds a device
2. registers the block device
3. request_module(default iosched)
4. modprobe in userland
5. load and init module
6. async_synchronize_full()
Async A waits for modprobe to finish in request_module() and modprobe
waits for async A to finish in async_synchronize_full().
Because there's no easy to track dependency once control goes out to
userland, implementing properly nested flushing is difficult. For
now, make module init perform async_synchronize_full() iff module init
has queued async jobs as suggested by Linus.
This avoids the described deadlock because iosched module doesn't use
async and thus wouldn't invoke async_synchronize_full(). This is
hacky and incomplete. It will deadlock if async module loading nests;
however, this works around the known problem case and seems to be the
best of bad options.

Pull tracing regression fixes from Steven Rostedt:
"The clean up patch commit 0fb9656d957d "tracing: Make tracing_enabled

1) The irqs off latency tracer no longer starts if tracing_on is off
when the tracer is set, and then tracing_on is enabled. The
tracing_on file needs the hook that tracing_enabled had to enable
tracers if they request it (call the tracer's start() method).
2) That commit had a separate change that really should have been a
separate patch, but it must have been added accidently with the -a
option of git commit. But as the change is still related to the
commit it wasn't noticed in review. That change, changed the way
blocking is done by the trace_pipe file with respect to the

Commit 0fb9656d "tracing: Make tracing_enabled be equal to tracing_on"
changes the behaviour of trace_pipe, ie. it makes trace_pipe return if
we've read something and tracing is enabled, and this means that we have
to 'cat trace_pipe' again and again while running tests.
IMO the right way is if tracing is enabled, we always block and wait for
ring buffer, or we may lose what we want since ring buffer's size is limited.

The seccomp path was using AUDIT_ANOM_ABEND from when seccomp mode 1
could only kill a process. While we still want to make sure an audit
record is forced on a kill, this should use a separate record type since
seccomp mode 2 introduces other behaviors.
In the case of "handled" behaviors (process wasn't killed), only emit a
record if the process is under inspection. This change also fixes
userspace examination of seccomp audit events, since it was considered
malformed due to missing fields of the AUDIT_ANOM_ABEND event type.

Commit 02404baf1b47 "tracing: Remove deprecated tracing_enabled file"
removed the tracing_enabled file as it never worked properly and
the tracing_on file should be used instead. But the tracing_on file
didn't call into the tracers start/stop routines like the
tracing_enabled file did. This caused trace-cmd to break when it
enabled the irqsoff tracer.
If you just did "echo irqsoff > current_tracer" then it would work
properly. But the tool trace-cmd disables tracing first by writing
"0" into the tracing_on file. Then it writes "irqsoff" into
current_tracer and then writes "1" into tracing_on. Unfortunately,
the above commit changed the irqsoff tracer to check the tracing_on
status instead of the tracing_enabled status. If it's disabled then
it does not start the tracer internals.
The problem is that writing "1" into tracing_on does not call the
tracers "start" routine like writing "1" into tracing_enabled did.
This makes the irqsoff tracer not start when using the trace-cmd
tool, and is a regression for userspace.
Simple fix is to have the tracing_on file call the tracers start()
method when being enabled (and the stop() method when disabled).

In various network workloads, __do_softirq() latencies can be up
to 20 ms if HZ=1000, and 200 ms if HZ=100.
This is because we iterate 10 times in the softirq dispatcher,
and some actions can consume a lot of cycles.
This patch changes the fallback to ksoftirqd condition to :
- A time limit of 2 ms.
- need_resched() being set on current task
When one of this condition is met, we wakeup ksoftirqd for further
softirq processing if we still have pending softirqs.
Using need_resched() as the only condition can trigger RCU stalls,
as we can keep BH disabled for too long.
I ran several benchmarks and got no significant difference in
throughput, but a very significant reduction of latencies (one order
of magnitude) :
In following bench, 200 antagonist "netperf -t TCP_RR" are started in
background, using all available cpus.
Then we start one "netperf -t TCP_RR", bound to the cpu handling the NIC
IRQ (hard+soft)

Pull tracing regression fix from Steven Rostedt:
"A change that came in this merge window broke the writing to the
trace_options file. It causes garbage to be read during the compare
of option names, and breaks setting options via the trace_options
file, although options can still be set via the options/<option>
files."
* tag 'trace-3.8-rc2-regression-fix' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/rostedt/linux-trace:
tracing: Fix regression of trace_options file setting
|
|
The latest change to allow trace options to be set on the command
line also broke the trace_options file.
The zeroing of the last byte of the option name that is echoed into
the trace_option file was removed with the consolidation of some
of the code. The compare between the option and what was written to
the trace_options file fails because the string holding the data
written doesn't terminate with a null character.
A zero needs to be added to the end of the string copied from
user space.

The as-documented rcu_nocb_poll will fail to enable this feature
for two reasons. (1) there is an extra "s" in the documented
name which is not in the code, and (2) since it uses module_param,
it really is expecting a prefix, akin to "rcutree.fanout_leaf"
and the prefix isn't documented.
However, there are several reasons why we might not want to
simply fix the typo and add the prefix:
1) we'd end up with rcutree.rcu_nocb_poll, and rather probably make
a change to rcutree.nocb_poll
2) if we did #1, then the prefix wouldn't be consistent with the
rcu_nocbs=<cpumap> parameter (i.e. one with, one without prefix)
3) the use of module_param in a header file is less than desired,
since it isn't immediately obvious that it will get processed
via rcutree.c and get the prefix from that (although use of
module_param_named() could clarify that.)
4) the implied export of /sys/module/rcutree/parameters/rcu_nocb_poll
data to userspace via module_param() doesn't really buy us anything,
as it is read-only and we can tell if it is enabled already without
it, since there is a printk at early boot telling us so.
In light of all that, just change it from a module_param() to an
early_setup() call, and worry about adding it to /sys later on if
we decide to allow a dynamic setting of it.
Also change the variable to be tagged as read_mostly, since it
will only ever be fiddled with at most, once at boot.

The wait_event() at the head of the rcu_nocb_kthread() can result in
soft-lockup complaints if the CPU in question does not register RCU
callbacks for an extended period. This commit therefore changes
the wait_event() to a wait_event_interruptible().

"Bunch of fixes:
- delayed IPC updates. I held back on this because of some possible
outstanding bug reports, but they appear to have been addressed in
later versions
- A bunch of MAINTAINERS updates
- Yet Another RTC driver. I'd held this back while a couple of
little issues were being worked out.
I'm expecting an intrusive-but-simple patchset from Joe Perches which
splits up printk.c into kernel/printk/*. That will be a pig to
maintain for two months so if it passes testing I'd like to get it
upstream after a week or so."

Cleanup. And I think we need more cleanups, in particular
__set_current_blocked() and sigprocmask() should die. Nobody should
ever block SIGKILL or SIGSTOP.
- Change set_current_blocked() to use __set_current_blocked()
- Change sys_sigprocmask() to use set_current_blocked(), this way it
should not worry about SIGKILL/SIGSTOP.

print_prefix() passes a NULL buf to print_time() to get the length of
the time prefix; when printk times are enabled, the current code just
returns the constant 15, which matches the format "[%5lu.%06lu] " used
to print the time value. However, this is obviously incorrect when the
whole seconds part of the time gets beyond 5 digits (100000 seconds is a
bit more than a day of uptime).
The simple fix is to use snprintf(NULL, 0, ...) to calculate the actual
length of the time prefix. This could be micro-optimized but it seems
better to have simpler, more readable code here.
The bug leads to the syslog system call miscomputing which messages fit
into the userspace buffer. If there are enough messages to fill
log_buf_len and some have a timestamp >= 100000, dmesg may fail with:
# dmesg
klogctl: Bad address
When this happens, strace shows that the failure is indeed EFAULT due to
the kernel mistakenly accessing past the end of dmesg's buffer, since
dmesg asks the kernel how big a buffer it needs, allocates a bit more,
and then gets an error when it asks the kernel to fill it:
syslog(0xa, 0, 0) = 1048576
mmap(NULL, 1052672, PROT_READ|PROT_WRITE, MAP_PRIVATE|MAP_ANONYMOUS, -1, 0) = 0x7fa4d25d2000
syslog(0x3, 0x7fa4d25d2010, 0x100008) = -1 EFAULT (Bad address)
As far as I can see, the bug has been there as long as print_time(),
which comes from commit 084681d14e42 ("printk: flush continuation lines
immediately to console") in 3.5-rc5.

Strictly speaking, ppc64 needs it for C ABI compliance. Realistically
I would be very surprised if e.g. passing 0xffffffff as 'options'
argument to waitid() from 32bit task would cause problems, but yes,
it puts us into undefined behaviour territory. ppc64 expects int
argument to be passed in 64bit register with bits 31..63 containing
the same value. SYSCALL_DEFINE on ppc provides a wrapper that normalizes
the value passed from userland; so does COMPAT_SYSCALL_DEFINE. Plain
declaration of compat_sys_something() with an int argument obviously
doesn't. Again, for wait4 and waitid I would be extremely surprised
if gcc started to produce code depending on that value having been
properly sign-extended - the argument(s) in question end up passed
blindly to sys_wait4 and sys_waitid resp. and normalization for native
syscalls takes care of their use there. Still, better to use
COMPAT_SYSCALL_DEFINE here than worry about nasal daemons...
