- Fix a crash with passing a stacktrace between synthetic events
A synthetic event is an event that combines two events into a single event
that can display fields from both events as well as the time delta that
took place between the events. It can also pass a stacktrace from the
first event so that it can be displayed by the synthetic event (this is
useful to get a stacktrace of a task scheduling out when blocked and
recording the time it was blocked for).
A synthetic event can also connect an existing synthetic event to another
event. An issue was found that if the first synthetic event had a stacktrace
as one of its fields, and that stacktrace field was passed to the new
synthetic event to be displayed, it would crash the kernel. This was due to
the stacktrace not being saved as a stacktrace but was still marked as one.
When the stacktrace was read, it would try to read an array but instead read
the integer metadata of the stacktrace and dereferenced a bad value.
Fix this by saving the stacktrace field as a stracktrace.
- Fix possible overflow in cmp_mod_entry() compare function
A binary search is used to find a module address and if the addresses are
greater than 2GB apart it could lead to truncation and cause a bad search
result. Use normal compares instead of a subtraction between addresses to
calculate the compare value.
- Fix output of entry arguments in function graph tracer
Depending on the configurations enabled, the entry can be two different
types that hold the argument array. The macro FGRAPH_ENTRY_ARGS() is used
to find the correct arguments from the given type. One location was missed
and still referenced the arguments directly via entry->args and could
produce the wrong value depending on how the kernel was configured.
- Fix memory leak in scripts/tracepoint-update build tool
If the array fails to allocate, the memory for the values needs to be
freed and was not. Free the allocated values if the array failed to
allocate.

When funcgraph-args and funcgraph-retaddr are both enabled, many kernel
functions display invalid parameters in trace logs.
The issue occurs because print_graph_retval() passes a mismatched args

64-bit truncation to 32-bit can result in the sign of the truncated
value changing. The cmp_mod_entry is used in bsearch and so the
truncation could result in an invalid search order. This would only
happen were the addresses more than 2GB apart and so unlikely, but
let's fix the potentially broken compare anyway.

When creating a synthetic event based on an existing synthetic event that
had a stacktrace field and the new synthetic event used that field a
kernel crash occurred:
~# cd /sys/kernel/tracing
~# echo 's:stack unsigned long stack[];' > dynamic_events
~# echo 'hist:keys=prev_pid:s0=common_stacktrace if prev_state & 3' >> events/sched/sched_switch/trigger
~# echo 'hist:keys=next_pid:s1=$s0:onmatch(sched.sched_switch).trace(stack,$s1)' >> events/sched/sched_switch/trigger
The above creates a synthetic event that takes a stacktrace when a task
schedules out in a non-running state and passes that stacktrace to the
sched_switch event when that task schedules back in. It triggers the
"stack" synthetic event that has a stacktrace as its field (called "stack").
~# echo 's:syscall_stack s64 id; unsigned long stack[];' >> dynamic_events
~# echo 'hist:keys=common_pid:s2=stack' >> events/synthetic/stack/trigger
~# echo 'hist:keys=common_pid:s3=$s2,i0=id:onmatch(synthetic.stack).trace(syscall_stack,$i0,$s3)' >> events/raw_syscalls/sys_exit/trigger
The above makes another synthetic event called "syscall_stack" that
attaches the first synthetic event (stack) to the sys_exit trace event and
records the stacktrace from the stack event with the id of the system call
that is exiting.
When enabling this event (or using it in a historgram):
~# echo 1 > events/synthetic/syscall_stack/enable

The reason is that the stacktrace field is not labeled as such, and is
treated as a normal field and not as a dynamic event that it is.
In trace_event_raw_event_synth() the event is field is still treated as a
dynamic array, but the retrieval of the data is considered a normal field,
and the reference is just the meta data:
// Meta data is retrieved instead of a dynamic array
str_val = (char *)(long)var_ref_vals[val_idx];
// Then when it tries to process it:
len = *((unsigned long *)str_val) + 1;
It triggers a kernel page fault.
To fix this, first when defining the fields of the first synthetic event,
set the filter type to FILTER_STACKTRACE. This is used later by the second
synthetic event to know that this field is a stacktrace. When creating
the field of the new synthetic event, have it use this FILTER_STACKTRACE
to know to create a stacktrace field to copy the stacktrace into.

This agressively bypasses run_to_parity and slice protection with the
assumpiton that this is what waker wants but there is no garantee that
the wakee will be the next to run. It is a better choice to use
yield_to_task or WF_SYNC in such case.
This increases the number of resched and preemption because a task becomes
quickly "ineligible" when it runs; We update the task vruntime periodically
and before the task exhausted its slice or at least quantum.
Example:
2 tasks A and B wake up simultaneously with lag = 0. Both are
eligible. Task A runs 1st and wakes up task C. Scheduler updates task
A's vruntime which becomes greater than average runtime as all others
have a lag == 0 and didn't run yet. Now task A is ineligible because
it received more runtime than the other task but it has not yet
exhausted its slice nor a min quantum. We force preemption, disable
protection but Task B will run 1st not task C.
Sidenote, DELAY_ZERO increases this effect by clearing positive lag at
wake up.

NEXT_BUDDY was disabled with the introduction of EEVDF and enabled again
after NEXT_BUDDY was rewritten for EEVDF by commit e837456fdc ("sched/fair:
Reimplement NEXT_BUDDY to align with EEVDF goals"). It was not expected
that this would be a universal win without a crystal ball instruction
but the reported regressions are a concern [1][2] even if gains were
also reported. Specifically;
o mysql with client/server running on different servers regresses
o specjbb reports lower peak metrics
o daytrader regresses
The mysql is realistic and a concern. It needs to be confirmed if
specjbb is simply shifting the point where peak performance is measured
but still a concern. daytrader is considered to be representative of a
real workload.
Access to test machines is currently problematic for verifying any fix to
this problem. Disable NEXT_BUDDY for now by default until the root causes
are addressed.

When calling refcount_inc(&event->mmap_count) inside perf_mmap_rb(), the

refcount_t: addition on 0; use-after-free.
WARNING: lib/refcount.c:25
PoC:
struct perf_event_attr attr = {0};
int fd = syscall(__NR_perf_event_open, &attr, 0, -1, -1, 0);

mmap(NULL, 0x3000, PROT_READ | PROT_WRITE, MAP_SHARED, victim, 0);
This occurs when creating a group member event with the flag
PERF_FLAG_FD_OUTPUT. The group leader should be mmap-ed and then mmap-ing
the event triggers the warning.
Since the event has copied the output_event in perf_event_set_output(),
event->rb is set. As a result, perf_mmap_rb() calls
refcount_inc(&event->mmap_count) when event->mmap_count = 0.
Disallow the case when event->mmap_count = 0. This also prevents two
events from updating the same user_page.

The "valid" readout delay between the two reads of the watchdog is larger
than the valid delta between the resulting watchdog and clocksource
intervals, which results in false positive watchdog results.
Assume TSC is the clocksource and HPET is the watchdog and both have a
uncertainty margin of 250us (default). The watchdog readout does:
1) wdnow = read(HPET);
2) csnow = read(TSC);
3) wdend = read(HPET);
The valid window for the delta between #1 and #3 is calculated by the
uncertainty margins of the watchdog and the clocksource:
m = 2 * watchdog.uncertainty_margin + cs.uncertainty margin;
which results in 750us for the TSC/HPET case.
The actual interval comparison uses a smaller margin:
m = watchdog.uncertainty_margin + cs.uncertainty margin;
which results in 500us for the TSC/HPET case.
That means the following scenario will trigger the watchdog:
Watchdog cycle N:
1) wdnow[N] = read(HPET);
2) csnow[N] = read(TSC);
3) wdend[N] = read(HPET);
Assume the delay between #1 and #2 is 100us and the delay between #1 and
Watchdog cycle N + 1:
4) wdnow[N + 1] = read(HPET);
5) csnow[N + 1] = read(TSC);
6) wdend[N + 1] = read(HPET);
If the delay between #4 and #6 is within the 750us margin then any delay
between #4 and #5 which is larger than 600us will fail the interval check
and mark the TSC unstable because the intervals are calculated against the
previous value:
wd_int = wdnow[N + 1] - wdnow[N];
cs_int = csnow[N + 1] - csnow[N];
Putting the above delays in place this results in:
cs_int = (wdnow[N + 1] + 610us) - (wdnow[N] + 100us);
-> cs_int = wd_int + 510us;
which is obviously larger than the allowed 500us margin and results in
marking TSC unstable.
Fix this by using the same margin as the interval comparison. If the delay
between two watchdog reads is larger than that, then the readout was either
disturbed by interconnect congestion, NMIs or SMIs.

When __do_ajdtimex() was introduced to handle adjtimex for any
timekeeper, this reference to tk_core was not updated. When called on an
auxiliary timekeeper, the core timekeeper would be updated incorrectly.
This gets caught by the lock debugging diagnostics because the
timekeepers sequence lock gets written to without holding its
associated spinlock:

The panic_print_deprecated() warning is being triggered on both read and
write operations to the panic_print parameter.
This causes spurious warnings when users run 'sysctl -a' to list all
sysctl values, since that command reads /proc/sys/kernel/panic_print and
triggers the deprecation notice.
Modify the handlers to only emit the deprecation warning when the
parameter is actually being set:
- sysctl_panic_print_handler(): check 'write' flag before warning.
- panic_print_get(): remove the deprecation call entirely.
This way, users are only warned when they actively try to use the
deprecated parameter, not when passively querying system state.

- Fix allocation accounting on boot up
The ftrace records for each function that ftrace can attach to is
done in a group of pages. At boot up, the number of pages are
calculated and allocated. After that, the pages are filled with data.
It may allocate more than needed due to some functions not being
recorded (because they are unused weak functions), this too is
recorded.
After the data is filled in, a check is made to make sure the right
number of pages were allocated. But this was off due to the
assumption that the same number of entries fit per every page.
Because the size of an entry does not evenly divide into PAGE_SIZE,
there is a rounding error when a large number of pages is allocated
to hold the events. This causes the check to fail and triggers a
warning.
Fix the accounting by finding out how many pages are actually
allocated from the functions that allocate them and use that to see
if all the pages allocated were used and the ones not used are
properly freed.

ftrace: Do not over-allocate ftrace memory
Pierre reported hitting balance callback warnings for deadline tasks
after commit 6455ad5346 ("sched: Move sched_class::prio_changed()
into the change pattern").
It turns out that DEQUEUE_SAVE+ENQUEUE_RESTORE does not preserve DL
priority and subsequently trips a balance pass -- where one was not
expected.
From discussion with Juri and Luca, the purpose of this clause was to
deal with tasks new to DL and all those sites will have MOVE set (as
well as CLASS, but MOVE is move conservative at this point).
Per the previous patches MOVE is audited to always run the balance
callbacks, so switch enqueue_dl_entity() to use MOVE for this case.

While FIFO/RR have static priority, DEADLINE is a dynamic priority
scheme. Notably it has static priority -1. Do not assume the priority
doesn't change for deadline tasks just because the static priority
doesn't change.
This ensures DL always sees {DE,EN}QUEUE_MOVE where appropriate.

The pg_remaining calculation in ftrace_process_locs() assumes that
ENTRIES_PER_PAGE multiplied by 2^order equals the actual capacity of the
allocated page group. However, ENTRIES_PER_PAGE is PAGE_SIZE / ENTRY_SIZE
(integer division). When PAGE_SIZE is not a multiple of ENTRY_SIZE (e.g.
4096 / 24 = 170 with remainder 16), high-order allocations (like 256 pages)
have significantly more capacity than 256 * 170. This leads to pg_remaining
being underestimated, which in turn makes skip (derived from skipped -
pg_remaining) larger than expected, causing the WARN(skip != remaining)
to trigger.
Extra allocated pages for ftrace: 2 with 654 skipped
WARNING: CPU: 0 PID: 0 at kernel/trace/ftrace.c:7295 ftrace_process_locs+0x5bf/0x5e0
A similar problem in ftrace_allocate_records() can result in allocating
too many pages. This can trigger the second warning in
ftrace_process_locs().
Extra allocated pages for ftrace
WARNING: CPU: 0 PID: 0 at kernel/trace/ftrace.c:7276 ftrace_process_locs+0x548/0x580
Use the actual capacity of a page group to determine the number of pages
to allocate. Have ftrace_allocate_pages() return the number of allocated
pages to avoid having to calculate it. Use the actual page group capacity
when validating the number of unused pages due to skipped entries.
Drop the definition of ENTRIES_PER_PAGE since it is no longer used.

Commit a9af76a787 ("watchdog: add sys_info sysctls to dump sys info on
system lockup") adds 'hardlock_sys_info' systcl knob for general kernel
watchdog to control what kinds of system debug info to be dumped on
hardlockup.
Add similar support in powerpc watchdog code to make the sysctl knob more
general, which also fixes a compiling warning in general watchdog code
reported by 0day bot.

If the previous kernel enabled KHO but did not call kho_finalize() (e.g.,
CONFIG_LIVEUPDATE=n or userspace skipped the finalization step), the
'preserved-memory-map' property in the FDT remains empty/zero.
Previously, kho_populate() would succeed regardless of the memory map's
state, reserving the incoming scratch regions in memblock. However,
kho_memory_init() would later fail to deserialize the empty map. By that
time, the scratch regions were already registered, leading to partial
initialization and subsequent list corruption (freeing scratch area twice)
during kho_init().
Move the validation of the preserved memory map earlier into
kho_populate(). If the memory map is empty/NULL:
1. Abort kho_populate() immediately with -ENOENT.
2. Do not register or reserve the incoming scratch memory, allowing the new
kernel to reclaim those pages as standard free memory.
3. Leave the global 'kho_in' state uninitialized.
Consequently, kho_memory_init() sees no active KHO context
(kho_in.mem_chunks_phys is 0) and falls back to kho_reserve_scratch(),
allocating fresh scratch memory as if it were a standard cold boot.

On smaller systems, e.g. embedded arm64, it is common for all memory
to end up in ZONE_DMA32 or even ZONE_DMA. In such cases it is redundant
to allocate a nominal pool for an empty higher zone that just ends up
coming from a lower zone that should already have its own pool anyway.
We already have logic to skip allocating a ZONE_DMA pool when that is
empty, so generalise that to save memory in the case of other zones too.

If CONFIG_ZONE_DMA32 is enabled, but we have not allocated the
corresponding atomic_pool_dma32, dma_guess_pool() may return the NULL
value of that and fail a GFP_DMA32 allocation without trying to fall
back to other pools which may exist. Furthermore, if no GFP_DMA pool
exists, it is preferable to try GFP_DMA32 rather than immediately fall
back to GFP_KERNEL with even less chance of success. Improve matters
by encoding an explicit order of pool preference for each flag.

The deadline server can currently stop due to idle although fair tasks
are runnable. This happens essentially when:
* the server is set to idle, a task wakes up, the server stops
* a task wakes up, the server sets itself to idle and stops right away
Address both cases by clearing the server idle flag whenever a fair task
wakes up and accounting also for pending tasks in the definition of idle.

A fix for the dl_server 'requires' idle_cpu() usage, which made me
note that it and available_idle_cpu() are extern function calls.
And while idle_cpu() is used outside of kernel/sched/,
available_idle_cpu() is not.
This makes it hard to make idle_cpu() an inline helper, so provide
idle_rq() and implement idle_cpu() and available_idle_cpu() using
that.

The access rule for local_cpu_mask_dl requires it to be called on the
local CPU with preemption disabled. However, dl_add_task_root_domain()
currently violates this rule.
Without preemption disabled, the following race can occur:
1. ThreadA calls dl_add_task_root_domain() on CPU 0
2. Gets pointer to CPU 0's local_cpu_mask_dl
3. ThreadA is preempted and migrated to CPU 1
4. ThreadA continues using CPU 0's local_cpu_mask_dl
5. Meanwhile, the scheduler on CPU 0 calls find_later_rq() which also
uses local_cpu_mask_dl (with preemption properly disabled)
6. Both contexts now corrupt the same per-CPU buffer concurrently
Fix this by moving the local_cpu_mask_dl access to the preemption
disabled section.

performance domains with dump. Share the reply format of do and dump using
perf-domain-attrs, so remove perf-domains. The YNL spec, autogenerated

is added.
