1) Per-CPU kthreads must stay affine to a single CPU and never execute
relevant code on any other CPU. This is currently handled by smpboot
code which takes care of CPU-hotplug operations. Affinity here is
a correctness constraint.
2) Some kthreads _have_ to be affine to a specific set of CPUs and can't
run anywhere else. The affinity is set through kthread_bind_mask()
and the subsystem takes care by itself to handle CPU-hotplug
operations. Affinity here is assumed to be a correctness constraint.
3) Per-node kthreads _prefer_ to be affine to a specific NUMA node. This
is not a correctness constraint but merely a preference in terms of
memory locality. kswapd and kcompactd both fall into this category.
The affinity is set manually like for any other task and CPU-hotplug
is supposed to be handled by the relevant subsystem so that the task
is properly reaffined whenever a given CPU from the node comes up.
Also care should be taken so that the node affinity doesn't cross
isolated (nohz_full) cpumask boundaries.
4) Similar to the previous point except kthreads have a _preferred_
affinity different than a node. Both RCU boost kthreads and RCU
exp kworkers fall into this category as they refer to "RCU nodes"
from a distinctly distributed tree.
Currently the preferred affinity patterns (3 and 4) have at least 4
identified users, with more or less success when it comes to handle
CPU-hotplug operations and CPU isolation. Each of which do it in its own
ad-hoc way.
This is an infrastructure proposal to handle this with the following API
changes:
_ kthread_create_on_node() automatically affines the created kthread to
its target node unless it has been set as per-cpu or bound with
kthread_bind[_mask]() before the first wake-up.
- kthread_affine_preferred() is a new function that can be called right
after kthread_create_on_node() to specify a preferred affinity
different than the specified node.
When the preferred affinity can't be applied because the possible
targets are offline or isolated (nohz_full), the kthread is affine
to the housekeeping CPUs (which means to all online CPUs most of the
time or only the non-nohz_full CPUs when nohz_full= is set).
kswapd, kcompactd, RCU boost kthreads and RCU exp kworkers have been
converted, along with a few old drivers.
Summary of the changes:
* Consolidate a bunch of ad-hoc implementations of kthread_run_on_cpu()
* Introduce task_cpu_fallback_mask() that defines the default last
resort affinity of a task to become nohz_full aware
* Add some correctness check to ensure kthread_bind() is always called
before the first kthread wake up.
* Default affine kthread to its preferred node.
* Convert kswapd / kcompactd and remove their halfway working ad-hoc
affinity implementation
* Implement kthreads preferred affinity
* Unify kthread worker and kthread API's style
* Convert RCU kthreads to the new API and remove the ad-hoc affinity
implementation.

- Have fprobes built on top of function graph infrastructure
The fprobe logic is an optimized kprobe that uses ftrace to attach to
functions when a probe is needed at the start or end of the function. The
fprobe and kretprobe logic implements a similar method as the function
graph tracer to trace the end of the function. That is to hijack the
return address and jump to a trampoline to do the trace when the function
exits. To do this, a shadow stack needs to be created to store the
original return address. Fprobes and function graph do this slightly
differently. Fprobes (and kretprobes) has slots per callsite that are
reserved to save the return address. This is fine when just a few points
are traced. But users of fprobes, such as BPF programs, are starting to add
many more locations, and this method does not scale.
The function graph tracer was created to trace all functions in the
kernel. In order to do this, when function graph tracing is started, every
task gets its own shadow stack to hold the return address that is going to
be traced. The function graph tracer has been updated to allow multiple
users to use its infrastructure. Now have fprobes be one of those users.
This will also allow for the fprobe and kretprobe methods to trace the
return address to become obsolete. With new technologies like CFI that
need to know about these methods of hijacking the return address, going
toward a solution that has only one method of doing this will make the
kernel less complex.
- Cleanup with guard() and free() helpers
There were several places in the code that had a lot of "goto out" in the
error paths to either unlock a lock or free some memory that was
allocated. But this is error prone. Convert the code over to use the
guard() and free() helpers that let the compiler unlock locks or free
memory when the function exits.
- Remove disabling of interrupts in the function graph tracer
When function graph tracer was first introduced, it could race with
interrupts and NMIs. To prevent that race, it would disable interrupts and
not trace NMIs. But the code has changed to allow NMIs and also
interrupts. This change was done a long time ago, but the disabling of
interrupts was never removed. Remove the disabling of interrupts in the
function graph tracer is it is not needed. This greatly improves its
performance.
- Allow the :mod: command to enable tracing module functions on the kernel
command line.
The function tracer already has a way to enable functions to be traced in
modules by writing ":mod:<module>" into set_ftrace_filter. That will
enable either all the functions for the module if it is loaded, or if it
is not, it will cache that command, and when the module is loaded that
matches <module>, its functions will be enabled. This also allows init
functions to be traced. But currently events do not have that feature.
Because enabling function tracing can be done very early at boot up
(before scheduling is enabled), the commands that can be done when
function tracing is started is limited. Having the ":mod:" command to
trace module functions as they are loaded is very useful. Update the
kernel command line function filtering to allow it.

the error paths to either unlock a lock or free some memory that was
allocated. But this is error prone. Convert the code over to use the
guard() and free() helpers that let the compiler unlock locks or free
memory when the function exits.
- Remove disabling of interrupts in the function graph tracer
When function graph tracer was first introduced, it could race with
interrupts and NMIs. To prevent that race, it would disable
interrupts and not trace NMIs. But the code has changed to allow NMIs
and also interrupts. This change was done a long time ago, but the
disabling of interrupts was never removed. Remove the disabling of
interrupts in the function graph tracer is it is not needed. This
greatly improves its performance.
- Allow the :mod: command to enable tracing module functions on the
kernel command line.
The function tracer already has a way to enable functions to be
traced in modules by writing ":mod:<module>" into set_ftrace_filter.
That will enable either all the functions for the module if it is
loaded, or if it is not, it will cache that command, and when the
module is loaded that matches <module>, its functions will be
enabled. This also allows init functions to be traced. But currently
events do not have that feature.
Because enabling function tracing can be done very early at boot up
(before scheduling is enabled), the commands that can be done when
function tracing is started is limited. Having the ":mod:" command to
trace module functions as they are loaded is very useful. Update the
kernel command line function filtering to allow it.

"Features:
- Support caching symlink lengths in inodes
The size is stored in a new union utilizing the same space as
i_devices, thus avoiding growing the struct or taking up any more
space
When utilized it dodges strlen() in vfs_readlink(), giving about
1.5% speed up when issuing readlink on /initrd.img on ext4
- Add RWF_DONTCACHE iocb and FOP_DONTCACHE file_operations flag
If a file system supports uncached buffered IO, it may set
FOP_DONTCACHE and enable support for RWF_DONTCACHE.
If RWF_DONTCACHE is attempted without the file system supporting
it, it'll get errored with -EOPNOTSUPP
- Enable VBOXGUEST and VBOXSF_FS on ARM64
Now that VirtualBox is able to run as a host on arm64 (e.g. the
Apple M3 processors) we can enable VBOXSF_FS (and in turn
VBOXGUEST) for this architecture.

Pull vfs netfs updates from Christian Brauner:
"This contains read performance improvements and support for monolithic
single-blob objects that have to be read/written as such (e.g. AFS
directory contents). The implementation of the two parts is interwoven
as each makes the other possible.
- Read performance improvements
The read performance improvements are intended to speed up some
loss of performance detected in cifs and to a lesser extend in afs.
The problem is that we queue too many work items during the
collection of read results: each individual subrequest is collected
by its own work item, and then they have to interact with each
other when a series of subrequests don't exactly align with the
pattern of folios that are being read by the overall request.
Whilst the processing of the pages covered by individual
subrequests as they complete potentially allows folios to be woken
in parallel and with minimum delay, it can shuffle wakeups for
sequential reads out of order - and that is the most common I/O
pattern.
The final assessment and cleanup of an operation is then held up
until the last I/O completes - and for a synchronous sequential
operation, this means the bouncing around of work items just adds
latency.
Two changes have been made to make this work:
(1) All collection is now done in a single "work item" that works
progressively through the subrequests as they complete (and
also dispatches retries as necessary).
(2) For readahead and AIO, this work item be done on a workqueue
and can run in parallel with the ultimate consumer of the data;
for synchronous direct or unbuffered reads, the collection is
run in the application thread and not offloaded.
Functions such as smb2_readv_callback() then just tell netfslib
that the subrequest has terminated; netfslib does a minimal bit of
processing on the spot - stat counting and tracing mostly - and
then queues/wakes up the worker. This simplifies the logic as the
collector just walks sequentially through the subrequests as they
complete and walks through the folios, if buffered, unlocking them
as it goes. It also keeps to a minimum the amount of latency
injected into the filesystem's low-level I/O handling
The way netfs supports filesystems using the deprecated
PG_private_2 flag is changed: folios are flagged and added to a
write request as they complete and that takes care of scheduling
the writes to the cache. The originating read request can then just
unlock the pages whatever happens.
- Single-blob object support
Single-blob objects are files for which the content of the file
must be read from or written to the server in a single operation
because reading them in parts may yield inconsistent results. AFS
directories are an example of this as there exists the possibility
that the contents are generated on the fly and would differ between
reads or might change due to third party interference.
Such objects will be written to and retrieved from the cache if one
is present, though we allow/may need to propose multiple
subrequests to do so. The important part is that read from/write to
the *server* is monolithic.
Single blob reading is, for the moment, fully synchronous and does
result collection in the application thread and, also for the
moment, the API is supplied the buffer in the form of a folio_queue
chain rather than using the pagecache.
- Related afs changes
This series makes a number of changes to the kafs filesystem,
primarily in the area of directory handling:
- AFS's FetchData RPC reply processing is made partially
asynchronous which allows the netfs_io_request's outstanding
operation counter to be removed as part of reducing the
collection to a single work item.
- Directory and symlink reading are plumbed through netfslib using
the single-blob object API and are now cacheable with fscache.
This also allows the afs_read struct to be eliminated and
netfs_io_subrequest to be used directly instead.
- Directory and symlink content are now stored in a folio_queue
buffer rather than in the pagecache. This means we don't require
the RCU read lock and xarray iteration to access it, and folios
won't randomly disappear under us because the VM wants them
back.
- The vnode operation lock is changed from a mutex struct to a
private lock implementation. The problem is that the lock now
needs to be dropped in a separate thread and mutexes don't
permit that.
- When a new directory or symlink is created, we now initialise it
locally and mark it valid rather than downloading it (we know
what it's likely to look like).
- We now use the in-directory hashtable to reduce the number of
entries we need to scan when doing a lookup. The edit routines
have to maintain the hash chains.
- Cancellation (e.g. by signal) of an async call after the
rxrpc_call has been set up is now offloaded to the worker thread
as there will be a notification from rxrpc upon completion. This
avoids a double cleanup.
- A "rolling buffer" implementation is created to abstract out the
two separate folio_queue chaining implementations I had (one for
read and one for write).
- Functions are provided to create/extend a buffer in a folio_queue
chain and tear it down again.
This is used to handle AFS directories, but could also be used to
create bounce buffers for content crypto and transport crypto.
- The was_async argument is dropped from netfs_read_subreq_terminated()
Instead we wake the read collection work item by either queuing it
or waking up the app thread.
- We don't need to use BH-excluding locks when communicating between
the issuing thread and the collection thread as neither of them now
run in BH context.
- Also included are a number of new tracepoints; a split of the
netfslib write collection code to put retrying into its own file
(it gets more complicated with content encryption).
- There are also some minor fixes AFS included, including fixing the
AFS directory format struct layout, reducing some directory
over-invalidation and making afs_mkdir() translate EEXIST to
ENOTEMPY (which is not available on all systems the servers
support).
- Finally, there's a patch to try and detect entry into the folio
unlock function with no folio_queue structs in the buffer (which
isn't allowed in the cases that can get there).
This is a debugging patch, but should be minimal overhead"

This merges the vsnprintf internal cleanups I did, which were triggered
by a combination of performance issues (see for example commit
f9ed1f7c2e26: "genirq/proc: Use seq_put_decimal_ull_width() for decimal
values") and discussion about tracing abusing the vsnprintf code in odd
ways.
The intent was to improve code generation, but also to possibly
eventually expose the cleaned-up printf format decoding state machine.
It certainly didn't get to the point where we'd want to expose the
format decoding to external users, but it's an improvement over what we
used to have. Several of the complex case statements have been
simplified, or removed entirely to be replaced by simple table lookups.

Commit 8d4826cc8a ("vsnprintf: collapse the number format state into
one single state") changed the format specification decoding to be a bit
more straightforward but in the process ended up also resetting the
number base to zero for formats that aren't clearly numerical.
Now, the number base obviously doesn't matter for something like '%s',
so this wasn't all that obvious. But some of our specialized pointer
extension formatting (ie, things like "print out IPv6 address") did up
depending on the default base-10 setting, and when they then tried to
print out numbers in "base zero", things didn't work out so well.
Most pointer formatting (including things like the default raw hex value
conversion) didn't have this issue, because they used helpers that
explicitly set the base.

Rewrite fprobe implementation on function-graph tracer.
Major API changes are:
- 'nr_maxactive' field is deprecated.
- This depends on CONFIG_DYNAMIC_FTRACE_WITH_ARGS or
!CONFIG_HAVE_DYNAMIC_FTRACE_WITH_ARGS, and
CONFIG_HAVE_FUNCTION_GRAPH_FREGS. So currently works only
on x86_64.
- Currently the entry size is limited in 15 * sizeof(long).
- If there is too many fprobe exit handler set on the same
function, it will fail to probe.

Change the fprobe exit handler to use ftrace_regs structure instead of
pt_regs. This also introduce HAVE_FTRACE_REGS_HAVING_PT_REGS which
means the ftrace_regs is including the pt_regs so that ftrace_regs
can provide pt_regs without memory allocation.
Fprobe introduces a new dependency with that.

The strange vbin_printf / bstr_printf interface used to save one- and
two-byte printf numerical arguments into their packed format.
That's more than a bit strange since the argument buffer is supposed to
be an array of 'u32' words, and it's also very different from how the
source of the data (varargs) work - which always do the normal integer
type conversions, so 'char' and 'short' are always passed as int-sized
anyway.
This odd packing causes extra code complexity, and it really isn't worth
it, since the space savings are simply not there: it only happens for
formats like '%hd' (short) and '%hhd' (char), which are very rare
indeed.
In fact, the only other user of this interface seems to be the bpf
helper code (bpf_bprintf_prepare()), and Alexei points out that that
case doesn't support those truncated integer formatting options at all
in the first place.
As a result, bpf_bprintf_prepare() doesn't need any changes for this,
and TRACE_BPRINT uses 'vbin_printf()' -> 'bstr_printf()' for the
formatting and hopefully doesn't expose the odd packing any other way
(knock wood).

We'll squirrel away the size of the number in 'struct fmt' instead.
We have two fairly separate state structures: the 'decode state' is in
'struct fmt', while the 'printout format' is in 'printf_spec'. Both
structures are small enough to pass around in registers even across
function boundaries (ie two words), even on 32-bit machines.
The goal here is to avoid the case statements on the format states,
which generate either deep conditionals or jump tables, while also
keeping the state size manageable.

Make the format_decode() code generation easier to look at by getting
the strange and unlikely cases out of line.
Signed-off-by: Linus Torvalds <torvalds@linux-foundation.org>
At some point skip_atoi() had been marked 'noinline_for_stack', but it
turns out that this is now a pessimization, and not inlining it actually
results in a stack frame in format decoding due to the call and thus
hurts stack usage rather than helping.
With the simplistic atoi function inlined, the format decoding now needs
no frame at all.
Signed-off-by: Linus Torvalds <torvalds@linux-foundation.org>
We did the flags as an array earlier, they had simpler rules. The final
format specifiers are a bit more complex since they have more fields to
deal with, and we want to handle the length modifiers at the same time.
But like the flags, we're better off just making it a data-driven table
rather than some case statement.
Signed-off-by: Linus Torvalds <torvalds@linux-foundation.org>
Rather than a case statement, just look up the printf format flags
(justification, zero-padding etc) using a small table.
Signed-off-by: Linus Torvalds <torvalds@linux-foundation.org>
The vsnprintf() code is written as a state machine as it walks the
format pointer, but for various historical reasons the state is oddly
named and was encoded as the 'type' field in the 'struct printf_spec'.
That naming came from the fact that the states used to not just encode
the state of the state machine, but also the various integer types that
would then be printed out.
Let's make the state machine more obvious, and actually call it 'state',
and associate it with the format pointer itself, rather than the
'printf_spec' that contains the currently decoded formatting specs.
This also removes the bit packing from printf_spec, which makes it much
easier on the compiler.
Signed-off-by: Linus Torvalds <torvalds@linux-foundation.org>
Every single caller wants to know what the next format location is, but
instead the function returned the length of the processed part and so
every single return statement in the format_decode() function was
instead subtracting the start of the format string.
The callers that that did want to know the length (in addition to the
end of the format processing) already had to save off the start of the
format string anyway. So this was all just doing extra processing both
on the caller and callee sides.
Just change the calling convention to return the end of the format
processing, making everything simpler (and preparing for yet more
simplification to come).
Signed-off-by: Linus Torvalds <torvalds@linux-foundation.org>
Now that we have simplified the number format types, the top-level
switch table can easily just handle all the remaining cases, and we
don't need to have a case statement with a conditional on the same
expression as the switch statement.
We do want to fall through to the common 'number()' case, but that's
trivially done by making the other case statements use 'continue'
instead of 'break'. They are just looping back to the top, after all.
Signed-off-by: Linus Torvalds <torvalds@linux-foundation.org>
Instead of dealing with all the different special types (size_t,
unsigned char, ptrdiff_t..) just deal with the size of the integer type
and the sign.
This avoids a lot of unnecessary case statements, and the games we play
with the value of the 'SIGN' flags value

vm_module_tags_populate() calculation of the populated area assumes that
area starts at a page boundary and therefore when new pages are allocation,
the end of the area is page-aligned as well. If the start of the area is
not page-aligned then allocating a page and incrementing the end of the
area by PAGE_SIZE leads to an area at the end but within the area boundary
which is not populated. Accessing this are will lead to a kernel panic.
Fix the calculation by down-aligning the start of the area and using that
as the location allocated pages are mapped to.

Lockdep has a set of configs used to determine the size of the static
arrays that it uses. However, the upper limit that was initially setup
for these configs is too high (30 bit shift). This equates to several
GiB of static memory for individual symbols. Using such high values
leads to linker errors:
$ make defconfig
$ ./scripts/config -e PROVE_LOCKING --set-val LOCKDEP_BITS 30
$ make olddefconfig all
[...]
ld: kernel image bigger than KERNEL_IMAGE_SIZE
ld: section .bss VMA wraps around address space
Adjust the upper limits to the maximum values that avoid these issues.
The need for anything more, likely points to a problem elsewhere. Note
that LOCKDEP_CHAINS_BITS was intentionally left out as its upper limit
had a different symptom and has already been fixed [1].

The never-taken branch leads to an invalid bounds condition, which is by
design. To avoid the unwanted warning from the compiler, hide the
variable from the optimizer.

Current solution to adjust codetag references during page migration is
done in 3 steps:
1. sets the codetag reference of the old page as empty (not pointing
to any codetag);
2. subtracts counters of the new page to compensate for its own
allocation;
3. sets codetag reference of the new page to point to the codetag of
the old page.
This does not work if CONFIG_MEM_ALLOC_PROFILING_DEBUG=n because
set_codetag_empty() becomes NOOP. Instead, let's simply swap codetag
references so that the new page is referencing the old codetag and the old
page is referencing the new codetag. This way accounting stays valid and
the logic makes more sense.

Per documentation, stack_depot_save_flags() was meant to be usable from
NMI context if STACK_DEPOT_FLAG_CAN_ALLOC is unset. However, it still
would try to take the pool_lock in an attempt to save a stack trace in the
current pool (if space is available).
This could result in deadlock if an NMI is handled while pool_lock is
already held. To avoid deadlock, only try to take the lock in NMI context
and give up if unsuccessful.
The documentation is fixed to clearly convey this.

Relax the rule to set PROVE_RAW_LOCK_NESTING by default only for arches
that supports PREEMPT_RT. For arches that do not support PREEMPT_RT,
they will not be forced to address unimportant raw lock nesting issues
when they want to enable PROVE_LOCKING. They do have the option
to enable it to look for these raw locking nesting problems if they
choose to.

The below commit introduces a dummy lockdep map, but didn't get
the initialization quite right (it should mimic the initialization
of the real ww_mutex lockdep maps). It also introduced a separate
locking api selftest failure. Fix these.

- Remove unused bprintf() function
bprintf() was added with the rest of the "bin-printf" functions.
These are functions that are used by trace_printk() that allows to
quickly save the format and arguments into the ring buffer without
the expensive processing of converting numbers to ASCII. Then on
output, at a much later time, the ring buffer is read and the string
processing occurs then. The bprintf() was added for consistency but
was never used. It can be safely removed.
