2024-05-14kprobes: remove dependency on CONFIG_MODULESMike Rapoport (IBM)1-1/+1
kprobes depended on CONFIG_MODULES because it has to allocate memory for code. Since code allocations are now implemented with execmem, kprobes can be enabled in non-modular kernels. Add #ifdef CONFIG_MODULE guards for the code dealing with kprobes inside modules, make CONFIG_KPROBES select CONFIG_EXECMEM and drop the dependency of CONFIG_KPROBES on CONFIG_MODULES.

2024-05-14mm/execmem, arch: convert remaining overrides of module_alloc to execmemMike Rapoport (IBM)1-0/+8
Extend execmem parameters to accommodate more complex overrides of module_alloc() by architectures. This includes specification of a fallback range required by arm, arm64 and powerpc, EXECMEM_MODULE_DATA type required by powerpc, support for allocation of KASAN shadow required by s390 and x86 and support for late initialization of execmem required by arm64. The core implementation of execmem_alloc() takes care of suppressing warnings when the initial allocation fails but there is a fallback range defined.

2024-04-25cpu: Re-enable CPU mitigations by default for !X86 architecturesSean Christopherson1-0/+8
Rename x86's to CPU_MITIGATIONS, define it in generic code, and force it on for all architectures exception x86. A recent commit to turn mitigations off by default if SPECULATION_MITIGATIONS=n kinda sorta missed that "cpu_mitigations" is completely generic, whereas SPECULATION_MITIGATIONS is x86-specific. Rename x86's SPECULATIVE_MITIGATIONS instead of keeping both and have it select CPU_MITIGATIONS, as having two configs for the same thing is unnecessary and confusing. This will also allow x86 to use the knob to manage mitigations that aren't strictly related to speculative execution. Use another Kconfig to communicate to common code that CPU_MITIGATIONS is already defined instead of having x86's menu depend on the common CPU_MITIGATIONS. This allows keeping a single point of contact for all of x86's mitigations, and it's not clear that other architectures *want* to allow disabling mitigations at compile-time.

2024-04-12Kconfig: add some hidden tabs on purposeLinus Torvalds1-6/+6
Commit d96c36004e31 ("tracing: Fix FTRACE_RECORD_RECURSION_SIZE Kconfig entry") removed a hidden tab because it apparently showed breakage in some third-party kernel config parsing tool. It wasn't clear what tool it was, but let's make sure it gets fixed. Because if you can't parse tabs as whitespace, you should not be parsing the kernel Kconfig files. In fact, let's make such breakage more obvious than some esoteric ftrace record size option. If you can't parse tabs, you can't have page sizes. Yes, tab-vs-space confusion is sadly a traditional Unix thing, and 'make' is famous for being broken in this regard. But no, that does not mean that it's ok. I'd add more random tabs to our Kconfig files, but I don't want to make things uglier than necessary. But it *might* bbe necessary if it turns out we see more of this kind of silly tooling.

2024-04-10lib: Add one-byte emulation functionPaul E. McKenney1-0/+3
Architectures are required to provide four-byte cmpxchg() and 64-bit architectures are additionally required to provide eight-byte cmpxchg(). However, there are cases where one-byte cmpxchg() would be extremely useful. Therefore, provide cmpxchg_emu_u8() that emulates one-byte cmpxchg() in terms of four-byte cmpxchg(). Note that this emulations is fully ordered, and can (for example) cause one-byte cmpxchg_relaxed() to incur the overhead of full ordering. If this causes problems for a given architecture, that architecture is free to provide its own lighter-weight primitives.

2024-04-09arch: Select new NEED_TASKS_RCU Kconfig optionPaul E. McKenney1-2/+2
Currently, if a Kconfig option depends on TASKS_RCU, it conditionally does "select TASKS_RCU if PREEMPTION". This works, but requires any change in this enablement logic to be replicated across all such "select" clauses. A new NEED_TASKS_RCU Kconfig option has been created to allow this enablement logic to be in one place in kernel/rcu/Kconfig. Therefore, select the new NEED_TASKS_RCU Kconfig option instead of the old TASKS_RCU option. Signed-off-by: Paul E.

2024-02-25kbuild: Use -fmin-function-alignment when availablePetr Pavlu1-0/+12
GCC recently added option -fmin-function-alignment, which should appear in GCC 14. Unlike -falign-functions, this option causes all functions to be aligned at the specified value, including the cold ones. In particular, when an arm64 kernel is built with DYNAMIC_FTRACE_WITH_CALL_OPS=y, the 8-byte function alignment is required for correct functionality. This was done by -falign-functions=8 and having workarounds in the kernel to force the compiler to follow this alignment. The new -fmin-function-alignment option directly guarantees it. Detect availability of -fmin-function-alignment and use it instead of -falign-functions when present. Introduce CC_HAS_SANE_FUNCTION_ALIGNMENT and enable __cold to work as expected when it is set.

Patch series "mm/mglru: Kconfig cleanup", v4. This series is the result of the following discussion: https://lore.kernel.org/47066176-bd93-55dd-c2fa-002299d9e034@linux.ibm.com/ It mainly avoids building the code that walks page tables on CPUs that use it, i.e., those don't support hardware accessed bit. Specifically, it introduces a new Kconfig to guard some of functions added by commit bd74fdaea146 ("mm: multi-gen LRU: support page table walks") on CPUs like POWER9, on which the series was tested. This patch (of 5): Some architectures are able to set the accessed bit in PTEs when PTEs are used as part of linear address translations. Add CONFIG_ARCH_HAS_HW_PTE_YOUNG for such architectures to be able to override arch_has_hw_pte_young().

2023-12-11arch: remove ARCH_TASK_STRUCT_ON_STACKHeiko Carstens1-4/+0
IA-64 was the only architecture which selected ARCH_TASK_STRUCT_ON_STACK. IA-64 was removed with commit cf8e8658100d ("arch: Remove Itanium (IA-64) architecture"). Therefore remove support for ARCH_TASK_STRUCT_ON_STACK as well. Note: this also reveals a potential bug in powerpc code, which makes use of __init_task_data without selecting ARCH_TASK_STRUCT_ON_STACK which makes __init_task_data a no-op. This is broken since commit d11ed3ab3166 ("Expand INIT_TASK() in init/init_task.c and remove") from 2018 and needs to be addressed separately.

2023-09-11arch: Remove Itanium (IA-64) architectureArd Biesheuvel1-1/+0
The Itanium architecture is obsolete, and an informal survey [0] reveals that any residual use of Itanium hardware in production is mostly HP-UX or OpenVMS based. The use of Linux on Itanium appears to be limited to enthusiasts that occasionally boot a fresh Linux kernel to see whether things are still working as intended, and perhaps to churn out some distro packages that are rarely used in practice. None of the original companies behind Itanium still produce or support any hardware or software for the architecture, and it is listed as 'Orphaned' in the MAINTAINERS file, as apparently, none of the engineers that contributed on behalf of those companies (nor anyone else, for that matter) have been willing to support or maintain the architecture upstream or even be responsible for applying the odd fix. The Intel firmware team removed all IA-64 support from the Tianocore/EDK2 reference implementation of EFI in 2018. (Itanium is the original architecture for which EFI was developed, and the way Linux supports it deviates significantly from other architectures.) Some distros, such as Debian and Gentoo, still maintain [unofficial] ia64 ports, but many have dropped support years ago. While the argument is being made [1] that there is a 'for the common good' angle to being able to build and run existing projects such as the Grid Community Toolkit [2] on Itanium for interoperability testing, the fact remains that none of those projects are known to be deployed on Linux/ia64, and very few people actually have access to such a system in the first place. Even if there were ways imaginable in which Linux/ia64 could be put to good use today, what matters is whether anyone is actually doing that, and this does not appear to be the case. There are no emulators widely available, and so boot testing Itanium is generally infeasible for ordinary contributors. GCC still supports IA-64 but its compile farm [3] no longer has any IA-64 machines. GLIBC would like to get rid of IA-64 [4] too because it would permit some overdue code cleanups. In summary, the benefits to the ecosystem of having IA-64 be part of it are mostly theoretical, whereas the maintenance overhead of keeping it supported is real. So let's rip off the band aid, and remove the IA-64 arch code entirely. This follows the timeline proposed by the Debian/ia64 maintainer [5], which removes support in a controlled manner, leaving IA-64 in a known good state in the most recent LTS release. Other projects will follow once the kernel support is removed.

2023-08-18kexec: consolidate kexec and crash options into kernel/Kconfig.kexecEric DeVolder1-13/+0
Patch series "refactor Kconfig to consolidate KEXEC and CRASH options", v6. The Kconfig is refactored to consolidate KEXEC and CRASH options from various arch/<arch>/Kconfig files into new file kernel/Kconfig.kexec. The Kconfig.kexec is now a submenu titled "Kexec and crash features" located under "General Setup". The following options are impacted: - KEXEC - KEXEC_FILE - KEXEC_SIG - KEXEC_SIG_FORCE - KEXEC_IMAGE_VERIFY_SIG - KEXEC_BZIMAGE_VERIFY_SIG - KEXEC_JUMP - CRASH_DUMP Over time, these options have been copied between Kconfig files and are very similar to one another, but with slight differences. The following architectures are impacted by the refactor (because of use of one or more KEXEC/CRASH options): - arm - arm64 - ia64 - loongarch - m68k - mips - parisc - powerpc - riscv - s390 - sh - x86 More information: In the patch series "crash: Kernel handling of CPU and memory hot un/plug" https://lore.kernel.org/lkml/20230503224145.7405-1-eric.devolder@oracle.com/ the new kernel feature introduces the config option CRASH_HOTPLUG. In reviewing, Thomas Gleixner requested that the new config option not be placed in x86 Kconfig. Rather the option needs a generic/common home. To Thomas' point, the KEXEC and CRASH options have largely been duplicated in the various arch/<arch>/Kconfig files, with minor differences. This kind of proliferation is to be avoid/stopped. https://lore.kernel.org/lkml/875y91yv63.ffs@tglx/ To that end, I have refactored the arch Kconfigs so as to consolidate the various KEXEC and CRASH options. Generally speaking, this work has the following themes: - KEXEC and CRASH options are moved into new file kernel/Kconfig.kexec - These items from arch/Kconfig: CRASH_CORE KEXEC_CORE KEXEC_ELF HAVE_IMA_KEXEC - These items from arch/x86/Kconfig form the common options: KEXEC KEXEC_FILE KEXEC_SIG KEXEC_SIG_FORCE KEXEC_BZIMAGE_VERIFY_SIG KEXEC_JUMP CRASH_DUMP - These items from arch/arm64/Kconfig form the common options: KEXEC_IMAGE_VERIFY_SIG - The crash hotplug series appends CRASH_HOTPLUG to Kconfig.kexec - The Kconfig.kexec is now a submenu titled "Kexec and crash features" and is now listed in "General Setup" submenu from init/Kconfig. - To control the common options, each has a new ARCH_SUPPORTS_<option> option. These gateway options determine whether the common options options are valid for the architecture. - To account for the slight differences in the original architecture coding of the common options, each now has a corresponding ARCH_SELECTS_<option> which are used to elicit the same side effects as the original arch/<arch>/Kconfig files for KEXEC and CRASH options. An example, 'make menuconfig' illustrating the submenu: > General setup > Kexec and crash features [*] Enable kexec system call [*] Enable kexec file based system call [*] Verify kernel signature during kexec_file_load() syscall [ ] Require a valid signature in kexec_file_load() syscall [ ] Enable bzImage signature verification support [*] kexec jump [*] kernel crash dumps [*] Update the crash elfcorehdr on system configuration changes In the process of consolidating the common options, I encountered slight differences in the coding of these options in several of the architectures. As a result, I settled on the following solution: - Each of the common options has a 'depends on ARCH_SUPPORTS_<option>' statement. For example, the KEXEC_FILE option has a 'depends on ARCH_SUPPORTS_KEXEC_FILE' statement. This approach is needed on all common options so as to prevent options from appearing for architectures which previously did not allow/enable them. For example, arm supports KEXEC but not KEXEC_FILE. The arch/arm/Kconfig does not provide ARCH_SUPPORTS_KEXEC_FILE and so KEXEC_FILE and related options are not available to arm. - The boolean ARCH_SUPPORTS_<option> in effect allows the arch to determine when the feature is allowed. Archs which don't have the feature simply do not provide the corresponding ARCH_SUPPORTS_<option>. For each arch, where there previously were KEXEC and/or CRASH options, these have been replaced with the corresponding boolean ARCH_SUPPORTS_<option>, and an appropriate def_bool statement. For example, if the arch supports KEXEC_FILE, then the ARCH_SUPPORTS_KEXEC_FILE simply has a 'def_bool y'. This permits the KEXEC_FILE option to be available. If the arch has a 'depends on' statement in its original coding of the option, then that expression becomes part of the def_bool expression. For example, arm64 had: config KEXEC depends on PM_SLEEP_SMP and in this solution, this converts to: config ARCH_SUPPORTS_KEXEC def_bool PM_SLEEP_SMP - In order to account for the architecture differences in the coding for the common options, the ARCH_SELECTS_<option> in the arch/<arch>/Kconfig is used. This option has a 'depends on <option>' statement to couple it to the main option, and from there can insert the differences from the common option and the arch original coding of that option. For example, a few archs enable CRYPTO and CRYTPO_SHA256 for KEXEC_FILE. These require a ARCH_SELECTS_KEXEC_FILE and 'select CRYPTO' and 'select CRYPTO_SHA256' statements. Illustrating the option relationships: For each of the common KEXEC and CRASH options: ARCH_SUPPORTS_<option> <- <option> <- ARCH_SELECTS_<option> <option> # in Kconfig.kexec ARCH_SUPPORTS_<option> # in arch/<arch>/Kconfig, as needed ARCH_SELECTS_<option> # in arch/<arch>/Kconfig, as needed For example, KEXEC: ARCH_SUPPORTS_KEXEC <- KEXEC <- ARCH_SELECTS_KEXEC KEXEC # in Kconfig.kexec ARCH_SUPPORTS_KEXEC # in arch/<arch>/Kconfig, as needed ARCH_SELECTS_KEXEC # in arch/<arch>/Kconfig, as needed To summarize, the ARCH_SUPPORTS_<option> permits the <option> to be enabled, and the ARCH_SELECTS_<option> handles side effects (ie. select statements). Examples: A few examples to show the new strategy in action: ===== x86 (minus the help section) ===== Original: config KEXEC bool "kexec system call" select KEXEC_CORE config KEXEC_FILE bool "kexec file based system call" select KEXEC_CORE select HAVE_IMA_KEXEC if IMA depends on X86_64 depends on CRYPTO=y depends on CRYPTO_SHA256=y config ARCH_HAS_KEXEC_PURGATORY def_bool KEXEC_FILE config KEXEC_SIG bool "Verify kernel signature during kexec_file_load() syscall" depends on KEXEC_FILE config KEXEC_SIG_FORCE bool "Require a valid signature in kexec_file_load() syscall" depends on KEXEC_SIG config KEXEC_BZIMAGE_VERIFY_SIG bool "Enable bzImage signature verification support" depends on KEXEC_SIG depends on SIGNED_PE_FILE_VERIFICATION select SYSTEM_TRUSTED_KEYRING config CRASH_DUMP bool "kernel crash dumps" depends on X86_64 || (X86_32 && HIGHMEM) config KEXEC_JUMP bool "kexec jump" depends on KEXEC && HIBERNATION help becomes...

For each of these config files, a .config is generated both before and after this Kconfig series, and checked for equivalence. This approach allows for a rather rapid check of all architectures and a wide variety of configs wrt/ KEXEC and CRASH, and avoids requiring compiling for all architectures and running kernels and run-time testing. For each config file, the olddefconfig, allnoconfig and allyesconfig targets are utilized. In testing the randconfig has revealed problems as well, but is not used in the before and after equivalence check since one can not generate the "same" .config for before and after, even if using the same KCONFIG_SEED since the option list is different. As such, the following script steps compare the before and after of 'make olddefconfig'. The new symbols introduced by this series are filtered out, but otherwise the config files are PASS only if they were equivalent, and FAIL otherwise. The script performs the test by doing the following: # Obtain the "golden" .config output for given config file # Reset test sandbox git checkout master git branch -D test_Kconfig git checkout -B test_Kconfig master make distclean # Write out updated config cp -f <config file> .config make ARCH=<arch> olddefconfig # Track each item in .config, LHSB is "golden" scoreboard .config # Obtain the "changed" .config output for given config file # Reset test sandbox make distclean # Apply this Kconfig series git am <this Kconfig series> # Write out updated config cp -f <config file> .config make ARCH=<arch> olddefconfig # Track each item in .config, RHSB is "changed" scoreboard .config # Determine test result # Filter-out new symbols introduced by this series # Filter-out symbol=n which not in either scoreboard # Compare LHSB "golden" and RHSB "changed" scoreboards and issue PASS/FAIL The script was instrumental during the refactoring of Kconfig as it continually revealed problems. The end result being that the solution presented in this series passes all configs as checked by the script, with the following exceptions: - arch/ia64/configs/zx1_config with olddefconfig This config file has: # CONFIG_KEXEC is not set CONFIG_CRASH_DUMP=y and this refactor now couples KEXEC to CRASH_DUMP, so it is not possible to enable CRASH_DUMP without KEXEC. - arch/sh/configs/* with allyesconfig The arch/sh/Kconfig codes CRASH_DUMP as dependent upon BROKEN_ON_MMU (which clearly is not meant to be set). This symbol is not provided but with the allyesconfig it is set to yes which enables CRASH_DUMP. But KEXEC is coded as dependent upon MMU, and is set to no in arch/sh/mm/Kconfig, so KEXEC is not enabled. This refactor now couples KEXEC to CRASH_DUMP, so it is not possible to enable CRASH_DUMP without KEXEC. While the above exceptions are not equivalent to their original, the config file produced is valid (and in fact better wrt/ CRASH_DUMP handling). This patch (of 14) The config options for kexec and crash features are consolidated into new file kernel/Kconfig.kexec. Under the "General Setup" submenu is a new submenu "Kexec and crash handling". All the kexec and crash options that were once in the arch-dependent submenu "Processor type and features" are now consolidated in the new submenu. The following options are impacted: - KEXEC - KEXEC_FILE - KEXEC_SIG - KEXEC_SIG_FORCE - KEXEC_BZIMAGE_VERIFY_SIG - KEXEC_JUMP - CRASH_DUMP The three main options are KEXEC, KEXEC_FILE and CRASH_DUMP. Architectures specify support of certain KEXEC and CRASH features with similarly named new ARCH_SUPPORTS_<option> config options. Architectures can utilize the new ARCH_SELECTS_<option> config options to specify additional components when <option> is enabled. To summarize, the ARCH_SUPPORTS_<option> permits the <option> to be enabled, and the ARCH_SELECTS_<option> handles side effects (ie. select statements).

2023-07-28cpu/SMT: Create topology_smt_thread_allowed()Michael Ellerman1-0/+3
Some architectures allows partial SMT states, i.e. when not all SMT threads are brought online. To support that, add an architecture helper which checks whether a given CPU is allowed to be brought online depending on how many SMT threads are currently enabled. Since this is only applicable to architecture supporting partial SMT, only these architectures should select the new configuration variable CONFIG_SMT_NUM_THREADS_DYNAMIC. For the other architectures, not supporting the partial SMT states, there is no need to define topology_cpu_smt_allowed(), the generic code assumed that all the threads are allowed or only the primary ones. Call the helper from cpu_smt_enable(), and cpu_smt_allowed() when SMT is enabled, to check if the particular thread should be onlined. Notably, also call it from cpu_smt_disable() if CPU_SMT_ENABLED, to allow offlining some threads to move from a higher to lower number of threads online.

The x86 Shadow stack feature includes a new type of memory called shadow stack. This shadow stack memory has some unusual properties, which requires some core mm changes to function properly. One of these unusual properties is that shadow stack memory is writable, but only in limited ways. These limits are applied via a specific PTE bit combination. Nevertheless, the memory is writable, and core mm code will need to apply the writable permissions in the typical paths that call pte_mkwrite(). The goal is to make pte_mkwrite() take a VMA, so that the x86 implementation of it can know whether to create regular writable or shadow stack mappings. But there are a couple of challenges to this. Modifying the signatures of each arch pte_mkwrite() implementation would be error prone because some are generated with macros and would need to be re-implemented. Also, some pte_mkwrite() callers operate on kernel memory without a VMA. So this can be done in a three step process. First pte_mkwrite() can be renamed to pte_mkwrite_novma() in each arch, with a generic pte_mkwrite() added that just calls pte_mkwrite_novma(). Next callers without a VMA can be moved to pte_mkwrite_novma(). And lastly, pte_mkwrite() and all callers can be changed to take/pass a VMA. Start the process by renaming pte_mkwrite() to pte_mkwrite_novma() and adding the pte_mkwrite() wrapper in linux/pgtable.h. Apply the same pattern for pmd_mkwrite(). Since not all archs have a pmd_mkwrite_novma(), create a new arch config HAS_HUGE_PAGE that can be used to tell if pmd_mkwrite() should be defined. Otherwise in the !HAS_HUGE_PAGE cases the compiler would not be able to find pmd_mkwrite_novma(). No functional change.

ssh://gitolite.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/tip/tip Pull SMP updates from Thomas Gleixner: "A large update for SMP management: - Parallel CPU bringup The reason why people are interested in parallel bringup is to shorten the (kexec) reboot time of cloud servers to reduce the downtime of the VM tenants. The current fully serialized bringup does the following per AP: 1) Prepare callbacks (allocate, intialize, create threads) 2) Kick the AP alive (e.g. INIT/SIPI on x86) 3) Wait for the AP to report alive state 4) Let the AP continue through the atomic bringup 5) Let the AP run the threaded bringup to full online state There are two significant delays: #3 The time for an AP to report alive state in start_secondary() on x86 has been measured in the range between 350us and 3.5ms depending on vendor and CPU type, BIOS microcode size etc. #4 The atomic bringup does the microcode update. This has been measured to take up to ~8ms on the primary threads depending on the microcode patch size to apply. On a two socket SKL server with 56 cores (112 threads) the boot CPU spends on current mainline about 800ms busy waiting for the APs to come up and apply microcode. That's more than 80% of the actual onlining procedure. This can be reduced significantly by splitting the bringup mechanism into two parts: 1) Run the prepare callbacks and kick the AP alive for each AP which needs to be brought up. The APs wake up, do their firmware initialization and run the low level kernel startup code including microcode loading in parallel up to the first synchronization point. (#1 and #2 above) 2) Run the rest of the bringup code strictly serialized per CPU (#3 - #5 above) as it's done today. Parallelizing that stage of the CPU bringup might be possible in theory, but it's questionable whether required surgery would be justified for a pretty small gain. If the system is large enough the first AP is already waiting at the first synchronization point when the boot CPU finished the wake-up of the last AP. That reduces the AP bringup time on that SKL from ~800ms to ~80ms, i.e. by a factor ~10x. The actual gain varies wildly depending on the system, CPU, microcode patch size and other factors. There are some opportunities to reduce the overhead further, but that needs some deep surgery in the x86 CPU bringup code. For now this is only enabled on x86, but the core functionality obviously works for all SMP capable architectures. - Enhancements for SMP function call tracing so it is possible to locate the scheduling and the actual execution points.

2023-06-20watchdog/hardlockup: make HAVE_NMI_WATCHDOG sparc64-specificPetr Mladek1-18/+0
There are several hardlockup detector implementations and several Kconfig values which allow selection and build of the preferred one. CONFIG_HARDLOCKUP_DETECTOR was introduced by the commit 23637d477c1f53acb ("lockup_detector: Introduce CONFIG_HARDLOCKUP_DETECTOR") in v2.6.36. It was a preparation step for introducing the new generic perf hardlockup detector. The existing arch-specific variants did not support the to-be-created generic build configurations, sysctl interface, etc. This distinction was made explicit by the commit 4a7863cc2eb5f98 ("x86, nmi_watchdog: Remove ARCH_HAS_NMI_WATCHDOG and rely on CONFIG_HARDLOCKUP_DETECTOR") in v2.6.38. CONFIG_HAVE_NMI_WATCHDOG was introduced by the commit d314d74c695f967e105 ("nmi watchdog: do not use cpp symbol in Kconfig") in v3.4-rc1. It replaced the above mentioned ARCH_HAS_NMI_WATCHDOG. At that time, it was still used by three architectures, namely blackfin, mn10300, and sparc. The support for blackfin and mn10300 architectures has been completely dropped some time ago. And sparc is the only architecture with the historic NMI watchdog at the moment. And the old sparc implementation is really special. It is always built on sparc64. It used to be always enabled until the commit 7a5c8b57cec93196b ("sparc: implement watchdog_nmi_enable and watchdog_nmi_disable") added in v4.10-rc1. There are only few locations where the sparc64 NMI watchdog interacts with the generic hardlockup detectors code: + implements arch_touch_nmi_watchdog() which is called from the generic touch_nmi_watchdog() + implements watchdog_hardlockup_enable()/disable() to support /proc/sys/kernel/nmi_watchdog + is always preferred over other generic watchdogs, see CONFIG_HARDLOCKUP_DETECTOR + includes asm/nmi.h into linux/nmi.h because some sparc-specific functions are needed in sparc-specific code which includes only linux/nmi.h. The situation became more complicated after the commit 05a4a95279311c3 ("kernel/watchdog: split up config options") and commit 2104180a53698df5 ("powerpc/64s: implement arch-specific hardlockup watchdog") in v4.13-rc1. They introduced HAVE_HARDLOCKUP_DETECTOR_ARCH. It was used for powerpc specific hardlockup detector. It was compatible with the perf one regarding the general boot, sysctl, and programming interfaces. HAVE_HARDLOCKUP_DETECTOR_ARCH was defined as a superset of HAVE_NMI_WATCHDOG. It made some sense because all arch-specific detectors had some common requirements, namely: + implemented arch_touch_nmi_watchdog() + included asm/nmi.h into linux/nmi.h + defined the default value for /proc/sys/kernel/nmi_watchdog But it actually has made things pretty complicated when the generic buddy hardlockup detector was added. Before the generic perf detector was newer supported together with an arch-specific one. But the buddy detector could work on any SMP system. It means that an architecture could support both the arch-specific and buddy detector. As a result, there are few tricky dependencies. For example, CONFIG_HARDLOCKUP_DETECTOR depends on: ((HAVE_HARDLOCKUP_DETECTOR_PERF || HAVE_HARDLOCKUP_DETECTOR_BUDDY) && !HAVE_NMI_WATCHDOG) || HAVE_HARDLOCKUP_DETECTOR_ARCH The problem is that the very special sparc implementation is defined as: HAVE_NMI_WATCHDOG && !HAVE_HARDLOCKUP_DETECTOR_ARCH Another problem is that the meaning of HAVE_NMI_WATCHDOG is far from clear without reading understanding the history. Make the logic less tricky and more self-explanatory by making HAVE_NMI_WATCHDOG specific for the sparc64 implementation. And rename it to HAVE_HARDLOCKUP_DETECTOR_SPARC64. Note that HARDLOCKUP_DETECTOR_PREFER_BUDDY, HARDLOCKUP_DETECTOR_PERF, and HARDLOCKUP_DETECTOR_BUDDY may conflict only with HAVE_HARDLOCKUP_DETECTOR_ARCH. They depend on HARDLOCKUP_DETECTOR and it is not longer enabled when HAVE_NMI_WATCHDOG is set.

2023-06-20watchdog/hardlockup: make the config checks more straightforwardPetr Mladek1-6/+17
There are four possible variants of hardlockup detectors: + buddy: available when SMP is set. + perf: available when HAVE_HARDLOCKUP_DETECTOR_PERF is set. + arch-specific: available when HAVE_HARDLOCKUP_DETECTOR_ARCH is set. + sparc64 special variant: available when HAVE_NMI_WATCHDOG is set and HAVE_HARDLOCKUP_DETECTOR_ARCH is not set. The check for the sparc64 variant is more complicated because HAVE_NMI_WATCHDOG is used to #ifdef code used by both arch-specific and sparc64 specific variant. Therefore it is automatically selected with HAVE_HARDLOCKUP_DETECTOR_ARCH. This complexity is partly hidden in HAVE_HARDLOCKUP_DETECTOR_NON_ARCH. It reduces the size of some checks but it makes them harder to follow. Finally, the other temporary variable HARDLOCKUP_DETECTOR_NON_ARCH is used to re-compute HARDLOCKUP_DETECTOR_PERF/BUDDY when the global HARDLOCKUP_DETECTOR switch is enabled/disabled. Make the logic more straightforward by the following changes: + Better explain the role of HAVE_HARDLOCKUP_DETECTOR_ARCH and HAVE_NMI_WATCHDOG in comments. + Add HAVE_HARDLOCKUP_DETECTOR_BUDDY so that there is separate HAVE_* for all four hardlockup detector variants. Use it in the other conditions instead of SMP. It makes it clear that it is about the buddy detector. + Open code HAVE_HARDLOCKUP_DETECTOR_NON_ARCH in HARDLOCKUP_DETECTOR and HARDLOCKUP_DETECTOR_PREFER_BUDDY. It helps to understand the conditions between the four hardlockup detector variants. + Define the exact conditions when HARDLOCKUP_DETECTOR_PERF/BUDDY can be enabled. It explains the dependency on the other hardlockup detector variants. Also it allows to remove HARDLOCKUP_DETECTOR_NON_ARCH by using "imply". It triggers re-evaluating HARDLOCKUP_DETECTOR_PERF/BUDDY when the global HARDLOCKUP_DETECTOR switch is changed. + Add dependency on HARDLOCKUP_DETECTOR so that the affected variables disappear when the hardlockup detectors are disabled. Another nice side effect is that HARDLOCKUP_DETECTOR_PREFER_BUDDY value is not preserved when the global switch is disabled. The user has to make the decision again when it gets re-enabled.

2023-06-20watchdog/hardlockup: HAVE_NMI_WATCHDOG must implement ↵Douglas Anderson1-1/+2
watchdog_hardlockup_probe() Right now there is one arch (sparc64) that selects HAVE_NMI_WATCHDOG without selecting HAVE_HARDLOCKUP_DETECTOR_ARCH. Because of that one architecture, we have some special case code in the watchdog core to handle the fact that watchdog_hardlockup_probe() isn't implemented. Let's implement watchdog_hardlockup_probe() for sparc64 and get rid of the special case. As a side effect of doing this, code inspection tells us that we could fix a minor bug where the system won't properly realize that NMI watchdogs are disabled. Specifically, on powerpc if CONFIG_PPC_WATCHDOG is turned off the arch might still select CONFIG_HAVE_HARDLOCKUP_DETECTOR_ARCH which selects CONFIG_HAVE_NMI_WATCHDOG. Since CONFIG_PPC_WATCHDOG was off then nothing will override the "weak" watchdog_hardlockup_probe() and we'll fallback to looking at CONFIG_HAVE_NMI_WATCHDOG.

2023-06-12hostfs: Fix ephemeral inodesMickaël Salaün1-7/+0
hostfs creates a new inode for each opened or created file, which created useless inode allocations and forbade identifying a host file with a kernel inode. Fix this uncommon filesystem behavior by tying kernel inodes to host file's inode and device IDs. Even if the host filesystem inodes may be recycled, this cannot happen while a file referencing it is opened, which is the case with hostfs. It should be noted that hostfs inode IDs may not be unique for the same hostfs superblock because multiple host's (backed) superblocks may be used. Delete inodes when dropping them to force backed host's file descriptors closing. This enables to entirely remove ARCH_EPHEMERAL_INODES, and then makes Landlock fully supported by UML. This is very useful for testing changes. These changes also factor out and simplify some helpers thanks to the new hostfs_inode_update() and the hostfs_iget() revamp: read_name(), hostfs_create(), hostfs_lookup(), hostfs_mknod(), and hostfs_fill_sb_common(). A following commit with new Landlock tests check this new hostfs inode consistency.

2023-05-15cpu/hotplug: Allow "parallel" bringup up to CPUHP_BP_KICK_AP_STATEThomas Gleixner1-0/+4
There is often significant latency in the early stages of CPU bringup, and time is wasted by waking each CPU (e.g. with SIPI/INIT/INIT on x86) and then waiting for it to respond before moving on to the next. Allow a platform to enable parallel setup which brings all to be onlined CPUs up to the CPUHP_BP_KICK_AP state. While this state advancement on the control CPU (BP) is single-threaded the important part is the last state CPUHP_BP_KICK_AP which wakes the to be onlined CPUs up. This allows the CPUs to run up to the first sychronization point cpuhp_ap_sync_alive() where they wait for the control CPU to release them one by one for the full onlining procedure. This parallelism depends on the CPU hotplug core sync mechanism which ensures that the parallel brought up CPUs wait for release before touching any state which would make the CPU visible to anything outside the hotplug control mechanism. To handle the SMT constraints of X86 correctly the bringup happens in two iterations when CONFIG_HOTPLUG_SMT is enabled. The control CPU brings up the primary SMT threads of each core first, which can load the microcode without the need to rendevouz with the thread siblings. Once that's completed it brings up the secondary SMT threads.

2023-05-15cpu/hotplug: Provide a split up CPUHP_BRINGUP mechanismThomas Gleixner1-0/+4
The bring up logic of a to be onlined CPU consists of several parts, which are considered to be a single hotplug state: 1) Control CPU issues the wake-up 2) To be onlined CPU starts up, does the minimal initialization, reports to be alive and waits for release into the complete bring-up. 3) Control CPU waits for the alive report and releases the upcoming CPU for the complete bring-up. Allow to split this into two states: 1) Control CPU issues the wake-up After that the to be onlined CPU starts up, does the minimal initialization, reports to be alive and waits for release into the full bring-up. As this can run after the control CPU dropped the hotplug locks the code which is executed on the AP before it reports alive has to be carefully audited to not violate any of the hotplug constraints, especially not modifying any of the various cpumasks. This is really only meant to avoid waiting for the AP to react on the wake-up. Of course an architecture can move strict CPU related setup functionality, e.g. microcode loading, with care before the synchronization point to save further pointless waiting time. 2) Control CPU waits for the alive report and releases the upcoming CPU for the complete bring-up. This allows that the two states can be split up to run all to be onlined CPUs up to state #1 on the control CPU and then at a later point run state #2. This spares some of the latencies of the full serialized per CPU bringup by avoiding the per CPU wakeup/wait serialization. The assumption is that the first AP already waits when the last AP has been woken up. This obvioulsy depends on the hardware latencies and depending on the timings this might still not completely eliminate all wait scenarios. This split is just a preparatory step for enabling the parallel bringup later. The boot time bringup is still fully serialized. It has a separate config switch so that architectures which want to support parallel bringup can test the split of the CPUHP_BRINGUG step separately. To enable this the architecture must support the CPU hotplug core sync mechanism and has to be audited that there are no implicit hotplug state dependencies which require a fully serialized bringup.

2023-05-15cpu/hotplug: Add CPU state tracking and synchronizationThomas Gleixner1-0/+15
The CPU state tracking and synchronization mechanism in smpboot.c is completely independent of the hotplug code and all logic around it is implemented in architecture specific code. Except for the state reporting of the AP there is absolutely nothing architecture specific and the sychronization and decision functions can be moved into the generic hotplug core code. Provide an integrated variant and add the core synchronization and decision points. This comes in two flavours: 1) DEAD state synchronization Updated by the architecture code once the AP reaches the point where it is ready to be torn down by the control CPU, e.g. by removing power or clocks or tear down via the hypervisor. The control CPU waits for this state to be reached with a timeout. If the state is reached an architecture specific cleanup function is invoked. 2) Full state synchronization This extends #1 with AP alive synchronization. This is new functionality, which allows to replace architecture specific wait mechanims, e.g. cpumasks, completely. It also prevents that an AP which is in a limbo state can be brought up again. This can happen when an AP failed to report dead state during a previous off-line operation. The dead synchronization is what most architectures use. Only x86 makes a bringup decision based on that state at the moment.

2023-03-29lazy tlb: shoot lazies, non-refcounting lazy tlb mm reference handling schemeNicholas Piggin1-0/+15
On big systems, the mm refcount can become highly contented when doing a lot of context switching with threaded applications. user<->idle switch is one of the important cases. Abandoning lazy tlb entirely slows this switching down quite a bit in the common uncontended case, so that is not viable. Implement a scheme where lazy tlb mm references do not contribute to the refcount, instead they get explicitly removed when the refcount reaches zero. The final mmdrop() sends IPIs to all CPUs in the mm_cpumask and they switch away from this mm to init_mm if it was being used as the lazy tlb mm. Enabling the shoot lazies option therefore requires that the arch ensures that mm_cpumask contains all CPUs that could possibly be using mm. A DEBUG_VM option IPIs every CPU in the system after this to ensure there are no references remaining before the mm is freed. Shootdown IPIs cost could be an issue, but they have not been observed to be a serious problem with this scheme, because short-lived processes tend not to migrate CPUs much, therefore they don't get much chance to leave lazy tlb mm references on remote CPUs. There are a lot of options to reduce them if necessary, described in comments. The near-worst-case can be benchmarked with will-it-scale: context_switch1_threads -t $(($(nproc) / 2)) This will create nproc threads (nproc / 2 switching pairs) all sharing the same mm that spread over all CPUs so each CPU does thread->idle->thread switching.

2023-03-29lazy tlb: allow lazy tlb mm refcounting to be configurableNicholas Piggin1-0/+17
Add CONFIG_MMU_TLB_REFCOUNT which enables refcounting of the lazy tlb mm when it is context switched. This can be disabled by architectures that don't require this refcounting if they clean up lazy tlb mms when the last refcount is dropped. Currently this is always enabled, so the patch introduces no functional change.

It is a lighterweight software-only fix for Skylake-based cores where enabling IBRS is a big hammer and causes a significant performance impact. What it basically does is, it aligns all kernel functions to 16 bytes boundary and adds a 16-byte padding before the function, objtool collects all functions' locations and when the mitigation gets applied, it patches a call accounting thunk which is used to track the call depth of the stack at any time. When that call depth reaches a magical, microarchitecture-specific value for the Return Stack Buffer, the code stuffs that RSB and avoids its underflow which could otherwise lead to the Intel variant of Retbleed.

2022-12-14ftrace: Allow WITH_ARGS flavour of graph tracer with shadow call stackArd Biesheuvel1-1/+1
The recent switch on arm64 from DYNAMIC_FTRACE_WITH_REGS to DYNAMIC_FTRACE_WITH_ARGS failed to take into account that we currently require the former in order to allow the function graph tracer to be enabled in combination with shadow call stacks. This means that this is no longer permitted at all, in spite of the fact that either flavour of ftrace works perfectly fine in this combination. So permit WITH_ARGS as well as WITH_REGS.

2022-11-09scs: add support for dynamic shadow call stacksArd Biesheuvel1-0/+7
In order to allow arches to use code patching to conditionally emit the shadow stack pushes and pops, rather than always taking the performance hit even on CPUs that implement alternatives such as stack pointer authentication on arm64, add a Kconfig symbol that can be set by the arch to omit the SCS codegen itself, without otherwise affecting how support code for SCS and compiler options (for register reservation, for instance) are emitted. Also, add a static key and some plumbing to omit the allocation of shadow call stack for dynamic SCS configurations if SCS is disabled at runtime.

2022-10-21srcu: Create an srcu_read_lock_nmisafe() and srcu_read_unlock_nmisafe()Paul E. McKenney1-0/+3
On strict load-store architectures, the use of this_cpu_inc() by srcu_read_lock() and srcu_read_unlock() is not NMI-safe in TREE SRCU. To see this suppose that an NMI arrives in the middle of srcu_read_lock(), just after it has read ->srcu_lock_count, but before it has written the incremented value back to memory. If that NMI handler also does srcu_read_lock() and srcu_read_lock() on that same srcu_struct structure, then upon return from that NMI handler, the interrupted srcu_read_lock() will overwrite the NMI handler's update to ->srcu_lock_count, but leave unchanged the NMI handler's update by srcu_read_unlock() to ->srcu_unlock_count. This can result in a too-short SRCU grace period, which can in turn result in arbitrary memory corruption. If the NMI handler instead interrupts the srcu_read_unlock(), this can result in eternal SRCU grace periods, which is not much better. This commit therefore creates a pair of new srcu_read_lock_nmisafe() and srcu_read_unlock_nmisafe() functions, which allow SRCU readers in both NMI handlers and in process and IRQ context. It is bad practice to mix the existing and the new _nmisafe() primitives on the same srcu_struct structure. Use one set or the other, not both. Just to underline that "bad practice" point, using srcu_read_lock() at process level and srcu_read_lock_nmisafe() in your NMI handler will not, repeat NOT, work. If you do not immediately understand why this is the case, please review the earlier paragraphs in this commit log.
