…FIG_DEBUG_TEST_DRIVER_REMOVE=y kernel panic
CAI Qian reported a crash in the PMU uncore device removal code,
enabled by the CONFIG_DEBUG_TEST_DRIVER_REMOVE=y option:https://marc.info/?l=linux-kernel&m=147688837328451
The reason for the crash is that perf_pmu_unregister() tries to remove
a PMU device which is not added at this point. We add PMU devices
only after pmu_bus is registered, which happens in the
perf_event_sysfs_init() call and sets the 'pmu_bus_running' flag.The fix is to get the 'pmu_bus_running' flag state at the point
the PMU is taken out of the PMU list and remove the device
later only if it's set.Reported-by: CAI Qian <caiqian@redhat.com>

in_interrupt() returns a nonzero value when we are either in an

interested in only ignoring coverage from actual interrupts, do a proper
check instead of just calling in_interrupt().As a result of this change, kcov will start to collect coverage from

The per-zone waitqueues exist because of a scalability issue with the
page waitqueues on some NUMA machines, but it turns out that they hurt
normal loads, and now with the vmalloced stacks they also end up
breaking gfs2 that uses a bit_wait on a stack object:wait_on_bit(&gh->gh_iflags, HIF_WAIT, TASK_UNINTERRUPTIBLE)
where 'gh' can be a reference to the local variable 'mount_gh' on the
stack of fill_super().The reason the per-zone hash table breaks for this case is that there is
no "zone" for virtual allocations, and trying to look up the physical
page to get at it will fail (with a BUG_ON()).It turns out that I actually complained to the mm people about the
per-zone hash table for another reason just a month ago: the zone lookup
also hurts the regular use of "unlock_page()" a lot, because the zone
lookup ends up forcing several unnecessary cache misses and generates
horrible code.As part of that earlier discussion, we had a much better solution for
the NUMA scalability issue - by just making the page lock have a
separate contention bit, the waitqueue doesn't even have to be looked at
for the normal case.Peter Zijlstra already has a patch for that, but let's see if anybody
even notices. In the meantime, let's fix the actual gfs2 breakage by
simplifying the bitlock waitqueues and removing the per-zone issue.Reported-by: Andreas Gruenbacher

When a timer is enqueued we try to forward the timer base clock. This
mechanism has two issues:1) Forwarding a remote base unlocked
The forwarding function is called from get_target_base() with the current
timer base lock held. But if the new target base is a different base than
the current base (can happen with NOHZ, sigh!) then the forwarding is done
on an unlocked base. This can lead to corruption of base->clk.Solution is simple: Invoke the forwarding after the target base is locked.
2) Possible corruption due to jiffies advancing
This is similar to the issue in get_net_timer_interrupt() which was fixed
in the previous patch. jiffies can advance between check and assignement
and therefore advancing base->clk beyond the next expiry value.So we need to read jiffies into a local variable once and do the checks and
assignment with the local copy.Fixes: a683f390b93f("timers: Forward the wheel clock whenever possible")

Ashton and Michael reported, that kernel versions 4.8 and later suffer from
USB timeouts which are caused by the timer wheel rework.This is caused by a bug in the base clock forwarding mechanism, which leads
to timers expiring early. The scenario which leads to this is:run_timers()
while (jiffies >= base->clk) {
collect_expired_timers();
base->clk++;
expire_timers();
}So base->clk = jiffies + 1. Now the cpu goes idle:
idle()
get_next_timer_interrupt()
nextevt = __next_time_interrupt();
if (time_after(nextevt, base->clk))
base->clk = jiffies;jiffies has not advanced since run_timers(), so this assignment effectively
decrements base->clk by one.base->clk is the index into the timer wheel arrays. So let's assume the
following state after the base->clk increment in run_timers():jiffies = 0
base->clk = 1A timer gets enqueued with an expiry delta of 63 ticks (which is the case
with the USB timeout and HZ=250) so the resulting bucket index is:base->clk + delta = 1 + 63 = 64
The timer goes into the first wheel level. The array size is 64 so it ends
up in bucket 0, which is correct as it takes 63 ticks to advance base->clk
to index into bucket 0 again.If the cpu goes idle before jiffies advance, then the bug in the forwarding
mechanism sets base->clk back to 0, so the next invocation of run_timers()
at the next tick will index into bucket 0 and therefore expire the timer 62
ticks too early.Instead of blindly setting base->clk to jiffies we must make the forwarding
conditional on jiffies > base->clk, but we cannot use jiffies for this as
we might run into the following issue:if (time_after(jiffies, base->clk) {
if (time_after(nextevt, base->clk))
base->clk = jiffies;jiffies can increment between the check and the assigment far enough to
advance beyond nextevt. So we need to use a stable value for checking.get_next_timer_interrupt() has the basej argument which is the jiffies
value snapshot taken in the calling code. So we can just that.Thanks to Ashton for bisecting and providing trace data!

Linus stumbled over the unlocked modification of the timer expiry value in
mod_timer() which is an optimization for timers which stay in the same
bucket - due to the bucket granularity - despite their expiry time getting
updated.The optimization itself still makes sense even if we take the lock, because
in case that the bucket stays the same, we avoid the pointless
queue/enqueue dance.Make the check and the modification of timer->expires protected by the base
lock and shuffle the remaining code around so we can keep the lock held
when we actually have to requeue the timer to a different bucket.Fixes: f00c0afdfa62 ("timers: Implement optimization for same expiry time in mod_timer()")

Linus noticed that lock_timer_base() lacks a READ_ONCE() for accessing the
timer flags. As a consequence the compiler is allowed to reload the flags
between the initial check for TIMER_MIGRATION and the following timer base
computation and the spin lock of the base.While this has not been observed (yet), we need to make sure that it never
happens.Fixes: 0eeda71bc30d ("timer: Replace timer base by a cpu index")

We have a fairly common pattern where you print several things as
continuations on one single line in a loop, and then at the end you doprintk(KERN_CONT "\n");
to flush the buffered output.
But if the output was flushed by something else (concurrent printk
activity, or just system logging), we don't want that final flushing to
just print an empty line.So just suppress empty continuation lines when they couldn't be merged
into the line they are a continuation of.Signed-off-by: Linus Torvalds

Merge the gup_flags cleanups from Lorenzo Stoakes:
"This patch series adjusts functions in the get_user_pages* family such
that desired FOLL_* flags are passed as an argument rather than
implied by flags.The purpose of this change is to make the use of FOLL_FORCE explicit
so it is easier to grep for and clearer to callers that this flag is
being used. The use of FOLL_FORCE is an issue as it overrides missing
VM_READ/VM_WRITE flags for the VMA whose pages we are reading
from/writing to, which can result in surprising behaviour.The patch series came out of the discussion around commit 38e088546522
("mm: check VMA flags to avoid invalid PROT_NONE NUMA balancing"),
which addressed a BUG_ON() being triggered when a page was faulted in
with PROT_NONE set but having been overridden by FOLL_FORCE.
do_numa_page() was run on the assumption the page _must_ be one marked
for NUMA node migration as an actual PROT_NONE page would have been
dealt with prior to this code path, however FOLL_FORCE introduced a
situation where this assumption did not hold.See
https://marc.info/?l=linux-mm&m=147585445805166
for the patch proposal"
Additionally, there's a fix for an ancient bug related to FOLL_FORCE and
FOLL_WRITE by me.[ This branch was rebased recently to add a few more acked-by's and
reviewed-by's ]* gup_flag-cleanups:
mm: replace access_process_vm() write parameter with gup_flags
mm: replace access_remote_vm() write parameter with gup_flags
mm: replace __access_remote_vm() write parameter with gup_flags
mm: replace get_user_pages_remote() write/force parameters with gup_flags
mm: replace get_user_pages() write/force parameters with gup_flags
mm: replace get_vaddr_frames() write/force parameters with gup_flags
mm: replace get_user_pages_locked() write/force parameters with gup_flags

mm: remove gup_flags FOLL_WRITE games from __get_user_pages() -
This removes the 'write' argument from access_process_vm() and replaces
it with 'gup_flags' as use of this function previously silently implied
FOLL_FORCE, whereas after this patch callers explicitly pass this flag.We make this explicit as use of FOLL_FORCE can result in surprising

A scheduler performance regression has been reported by Joseph Salisbury,
which he bisected back to:3d30544f0212 ("sched/fair: Apply more PELT fixes)
The regression triggers when several levels of task groups are involved
(read: SystemD) and cpu_possible_mask != cpu_present_mask.The root cause is that group entity's load (tg_child->se[i]->avg.load_avg)
is initialized to scale_load_down(se->load.weight). During the creation of
a child task group, its group entities on possible CPUs are attached to
parent's cfs_rq (tg_parent) and their loads are added to the parent's load
(tg_parent->load_avg) with update_tg_load_avg().But only the load on online CPUs will then be updated to reflect real load,
whereas load on other CPUs will stay at the initial value.The result is a tg_parent->load_avg that is higher than the real load, the
weight of group entities (tg_parent->se[i]->load.weight) on online CPUs is
smaller than it should be, and the task group gets a less running time than
what it could expect.( This situation can be detected with /proc/sched_debug. The ".tg_load_avg"
of the task group will be much higher than sum of ".tg_load_avg_contrib"
of online cfs_rqs of the task group. )The load of group entities don't have to be intialized to something else
than 0 because their load will increase when an entity is attached.Reported-by: Joseph Salisbury

Pull gcc plugins update from Kees Cook:
"This adds a new gcc plugin named "latent_entropy". It is designed to
extract as much possible uncertainty from a running system at boot
time as possible, hoping to capitalize on any possible variation in
CPU operation (due to runtime data differences, hardware differences,
SMP ordering, thermal timing variation, cache behavior, etc).At the very least, this plugin is a much more comprehensive example
for how to manipulate kernel code using the gcc plugin internals"* tag 'gcc-plugins-v4.9-rc1' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/kees/linux:

This affectively reverts commit 377ccbb48373 ("Makefile: Mute warning
for __builtin_return_address(>0) for tracing only") because it turns out
that it really isn't tracing only - it's all over the tree.We already also had the warning disabled separately for mm/usercopy.c
(which this commit also removes), and it turns out that we will also
want to disable it for get_lock_parent_ip(), that is used for at least
TRACE_IRQFLAGS. Which (when enabled) ends up being all over the tree.Steven Rostedt had a patch that tried to limit it to just the config
options that actually triggered this, but quite frankly, the extra
complexity and abstraction just isn't worth it. We have never actually
had a case where the warning is actually useful, so let's just disable
it globally and not worry about it.Acked-by: Steven Rostedt

Previously hung_task_panic would not be respected if enabled after
hung_task_warnings had already been decremented to 0.Permit the kernel to panic if hung_task_panic is enabled after
hung_task_warnings has already been decremented to 0 and another task
hangs for hung_task_timeout_secs seconds.Check if hung_task_panic is enabled so we don't return prematurely, and
check if hung_task_warnings is non-zero so we don't print the warning
unnecessarily.[akpm@linux-foundation.org: fix off-by-one]

This patch allows to make kthread worker freezable via a new @flags
parameter. It will allow to avoid an init work in some kthreads.It currently does not affect the function of kthread_worker_fn()
but it might help to do some optimization or fixes eventually.I currently do not know about any other use for the @flags
parameter but I believe that we will want more flags
in the future.Finally, I hope that it will not cause confusion with @flags member
in struct kthread. Well, I guess that we will want to rework the
basic kthreads implementation once all kthreads are converted into
kthread workers or workqueues. It is possible that we will merge
the two structures.Link: http://lkml.kernel.org/r/1470754545-17632-12-git-send-email-pmladek@suse.com

There are situations when we need to modify the delay of a delayed kthread
work. For example, when the work depends on an event and the initial delay
means a timeout. Then we want to queue the work immediately when the event
happens.This patch implements kthread_mod_delayed_work() as inspired workqueues.
It cancels the timer, removes the work from any worker list and queues it
again with the given timeout.A very special case is when the work is being canceled at the same time.
It might happen because of the regular kthread_cancel_delayed_work_sync()
or by another kthread_mod_delayed_work(). In this case, we do nothing and
let the other operation win. This should not normally happen as the caller
is supposed to synchronize these operations a reasonable way.Link: http://lkml.kernel.org/r/1470754545-17632-11-git-send-email-pmladek@suse.com

We are going to use kthread workers more widely and sometimes we will need
to make sure that the work is neither pending nor running.This patch implements cancel_*_sync() operations as inspired by
workqueues. Well, we are synchronized against the other operations via
the worker lock, we use del_timer_sync() and a counter to count parallel
cancel operations. Therefore the implementation might be easier.First, we check if a worker is assigned. If not, the work has newer been
queued after it was initialized.Second, we take the worker lock. It must be the right one. The work must
not be assigned to another worker unless it is initialized in between.Third, we try to cancel the timer when it exists. The timer is deleted
synchronously to make sure that the timer call back is not running. We
need to temporary release the worker->lock to avoid a possible deadlock
with the callback. In the meantime, we set work->canceling counter to
avoid any queuing.Fourth, we try to remove the work from a worker list. It might be
the list of either normal or delayed works.Fifth, if the work is running, we call kthread_flush_work(). It might
take an arbitrary time. We need to release the worker-lock again. In the
meantime, we again block any queuing by the canceling counter.As already mentioned, the check for a pending kthread work is done under a
lock. In compare with workqueues, we do not need to fight for a single
PENDING bit to block other operations. Therefore we do not suffer from
the thundering storm problem and all parallel canceling jobs might use
kthread_flush_work(). Any queuing is blocked until the counter gets zero.Link: http://lkml.kernel.org/r/1470754545-17632-10-git-send-email-pmladek@suse.com

We are going to use kthread_worker more widely and delayed works
will be pretty useful.The implementation is inspired by workqueues. It uses a timer to queue
the work after the requested delay. If the delay is zero, the work is
queued immediately.In compare with workqueues, each work is associated with a single worker
(kthread). Therefore the implementation could be much easier. In
particular, we use the worker->lock to synchronize all the operations with
the work. We do not need any atomic operation with a flags variable.In fact, we do not need any state variable at all. Instead, we add a list
of delayed works into the worker. Then the pending work is listed either
in the list of queued or delayed works. And the existing check of pending
works is the same even for the delayed ones.A work must not be assigned to another worker unless reinitialized.
Therefore the timer handler might expect that dwork->work->worker is valid
and it could simply take the lock. We just add some sanity checks to help
with debugging a potential misuse.Link: http://lkml.kernel.org/r/1470754545-17632-9-git-send-email-pmladek@suse.com

Nothing currently prevents a work from queuing for a kthread worker when
it is already running on another one. This means that the work might run
in parallel on more than one worker. Also some operations are not
reliable, e.g. flush.This problem will be even more visible after we add kthread_cancel_work()
function. It will only have "work" as the parameter and will use
worker->lock to synchronize with others.Well, normally this is not a problem because the API users are sane.
But bugs might happen and users also might be crazy.This patch adds a warning when we try to insert the work for another
worker. It does not fully prevent the misuse because it would make the
code much more complicated without a big benefit.It adds the same warning also into kthread_flush_work() instead of the
repeated attempts to get the right lock.A side effect is that one needs to explicitly reinitialize the work if it
must be queued into another worker. This is needed, for example, when the
worker is stopped and started again. It is a bit inconvenient. But it
looks like a good compromise between the stability and complexity.I have double checked all existing users of the kthread worker API and
they all seems to initialize the work after the worker gets started.Just for completeness, the patch adds a check that the work is not already
in a queue.The patch also puts all the checks into a separate function. It will be
reused when implementing delayed works.Link: http://lkml.kernel.org/r/1470754545-17632-8-git-send-email-pmladek@suse.com

The current kthread worker users call flush() and stop() explicitly.
This function does the same plus it frees the kthread_worker struct
in one call.It is supposed to be used together with kthread_create_worker*() that
allocates struct kthread_worker.Link: http://lkml.kernel.org/r/1470754545-17632-7-git-send-email-pmladek@suse.com

Kthread workers are currently created using the classic kthread API,
namely kthread_run(). kthread_worker_fn() is passed as the @threadfn
parameter.This patch defines kthread_create_worker() and
kthread_create_worker_on_cpu() functions that hide implementation details.They enforce using kthread_worker_fn() for the main thread. But I doubt
that there are any plans to create any alternative. In fact, I think that
we do not want any alternative main thread because it would be hard to
support consistency with the rest of the kthread worker API.The naming and function of kthread_create_worker() is inspired by the
workqueues API like the rest of the kthread worker API.The kthread_create_worker_on_cpu() variant is motivated by the original
kthread_create_on_cpu(). Note that we need to bind per-CPU kthread
workers already when they are created. It makes the life easier.
kthread_bind() could not be used later for an already running worker.This patch does _not_ convert existing kthread workers. The kthread
worker API need more improvements first, e.g. a function to destroy the
worker.IMPORTANT:
kthread_create_worker_on_cpu() allows to use any format of the worker
name, in compare with kthread_create_on_cpu(). The good thing is that it
is more generic. The bad thing is that most users will need to pass the
cpu number in two parameters, e.g. kthread_create_worker_on_cpu(cpu,
"helper/%d", cpu).To be honest, the main motivation was to avoid the need for an empty
va_list. The only legal way was to create a helper function that would be
called with an empty list. Other attempts caused compilation warnings or
even errors on different architectures.There were also other alternatives, for example, using #define or
splitting __kthread_create_worker(). The used solution looked like the
least ugly.Link: http://lkml.kernel.org/r/1470754545-17632-6-git-send-email-pmladek@suse.com
