The commit 93e72b3c61 ("squashfs: migrate from ll_rw_block usage
to BIO") removed caching of compressed blocks in SquashFS, causing fio
performance regression in workloads with repeated file reads. Without
caching, every read triggers disk I/O, severely impacting performance in
tools like fio.
This patch introduces a new CONFIG_SQUASHFS_COMP_CACHE_FULL Kconfig option
to enable caching of all compressed blocks, restoring performance to
pre-BIO migration levels. When enabled, all pages in a BIO are cached in
the page cache, reducing disk I/O for repeated reads. The fio test
results with this patch confirm the performance restoration:
For example, fio tests (iodepth=1, numjobs=1,
ioengine=psync) show a notable performance restoration:
Disable CONFIG_SQUASHFS_COMP_CACHE_FULL:
IOPS=815, BW=102MiB/s (107MB/s)(6113MiB/60001msec)
Enable CONFIG_SQUASHFS_COMP_CACHE_FULL:
IOPS=2223, BW=278MiB/s (291MB/s)(16.3GiB/59999msec)
The tradeoff is increased memory usage due to caching all compressed
blocks. The CONFIG_SQUASHFS_COMP_CACHE_FULL option allows users to enable
this feature selectively, balancing performance and memory usage for
workloads with frequent repeated reads.

Configfs can be configured as a loadable module, which causes a link-time
failure for dm-crypt crash dump support:
crash_dump_dm_crypt.c:(.text+0x3a4): undefined reference to `config_item_init_type_name'
aarch64-linux-ld: kernel/crash_dump_dm_crypt.o: in function `configfs_dmcrypt_keys_init':

aarch64-linux-ld: crash_dump_dm_crypt.c:(.init.text+0xd8): undefined reference to `configfs_unregister_subsystem'
This could be avoided with a dependency on CONFIGFS_FS=y, but the
dependency has an additional problem of causing Kconfig dependency loops
since most other uses select the symbol.
Using a simple 'select CONFIGFS_FS' here in turn fails with
CONFIG_DM_CRYPT=m, because that still only causes configfs to be a
loadable module.
The only version I found that fixes this reliably uses an additional
Kconfig symbol to ensure the 'select' actually turns on configfs as
builtin, with two additional changes to avoid dependency loops with nvme
and sysfs.
There is no compile-time dependency between configfs and sysfs, so
selecting configfs from a driver with sysfs disabled does not cause link
failures, only the default /sys/kernel/config mount point will not be
created.

Using lx-symbols during s390 early boot fails with:
Error occurred in Python: 'utf-8' codec can't decode byte 0xcb in position 0: invalid continuation byte
The reason is that s390 decompressor's startup_kernel() does not create
vmcoreinfo note, and sets vmcore_info to kernel's physical base. This
confuses get_vmcore_s390().
Fix by handling this special case. Extract vm_layout.kaslr_offset from
the kernel image in physical memory, which is placed there by the
decompressor using the __bootdata_preserved mechanism, and generate a
synthetic vmcoreinfo note from it.

Patch series "scripts/gdb/symbols: determine KASLR offset on s390 during
early boot".
I noticed that debugging s390 early boot using the support I introduced in
commit 28939c3e99 ("scripts/gdb/symbols: determine KASLR offset on
s390") does not work.
The reason is that decompressor does not provide the vmcoreinfo note, so
KASLR offset needs to be extracted in a different way, which this series
implements. Patches 1-2 are trivial refactorings, and patch 3 is the
implementation.
This patch (of 3):
Move the code that determines the current vmlinux file into a separate
function. It will be useful later in order to analyze the kernel image in
physical memory during s390 early boot.

The current allocation of VMAP stack memory is using (THREADINFO_GFP &
~__GFP_ACCOUNT) which is a complicated way of saying (GFP_KERNEL |
__GFP_ZERO):
<linux/thread_info.h>:
define THREADINFO_GFP (GFP_KERNEL_ACCOUNT | __GFP_ZERO)
<linux/gfp_types.h>:
define GFP_KERNEL_ACCOUNT (GFP_KERNEL | __GFP_ACCOUNT)
This is an unfortunate side-effect of independent changes blurring the
picture:
commit 19809c2da2 changed (THREADINFO_GFP |
__GFP_HIGHMEM) to just THREADINFO_GFP since highmem became implicit.
commit 9b6f7e163c then added stack caching
and rewrote the allocation to (THREADINFO_GFP & ~__GFP_ACCOUNT) as cached
stacks need to be accounted separately. However that code, when it
eventually accounts the memory does this:
ret = memcg_kmem_charge(vm->pages[i], GFP_KERNEL, 0)
so the memory is charged as a GFP_KERNEL allocation.
Define a unique GFP_VMAP_STACK to use
GFP_KERNEL | __GFP_ZERO and move the comment there.

There are two data types: "struct vm_struct" and "struct vm_stack" that
have the same local variable names: vm_stack, or vm, or s, which makes the
code confusing to read.
Change the code so the naming is consistent:
struct vm_struct is always called vm_area
struct vm_stack is always called vm_stack
One change altering vfree(vm_stack) to vfree(vm_area->addr) may look like
a semantic change but it is not: vm_area->addr points to the vm_stack.
This was done to improve readability.

Patch series "sysfs: add counters for lockups and stalls", v2.
Commits 9db89b4111 ("exit: Expose "oops_count" to sysfs") and
8b05aa2633 ("panic: Expose "warn_count" to sysfs") added counters for
oopses and warnings to sysfs, and these two patches do the same for
hard/soft lockups and RCU stalls.
All of these counters are useful for monitoring tools to detect whether
the machine is healthy. If the kernel has experienced a lockup or a
stall, it's probably due to a kernel bug, and I'd like to detect that
quickly and easily. There is currently no way to detect that, other than
parsing dmesg. Or observing indirect effects: such as certain tasks not
responding, but then I need to observe all tasks, and it may take a while
until these effects become visible/measurable. I'd rather be able to
detect the primary cause more quickly, possibly before everything falls
apart.
This patch (of 2):
There is /proc/sys/kernel/hung_task_detect_count, /sys/kernel/warn_count
and /sys/kernel/oops_count but there is no userspace-accessible counter
for hard/soft lockups. Having this is useful for monitoring tools.

When there are CPU and memory hot un/plugs, the dm crypt keys may need to
be reloaded again depending on the solution for crash hotplug support.
Currently, there are two solutions. One is to utilizes udev to instruct
user space to reload the kdump kernel image and initrd, elfcorehdr and etc
again. The other is to only update the elfcorehdr segment introduced in
commit 2472627561 ("crash: add generic infrastructure for crash hotplug
support").
For the 1st solution, the dm crypt keys need to be reloaded again. The
user space can write true to /sys/kernel/config/crash_dm_crypt_key/reuse
so the stored keys can be re-used.
For the 2nd solution, the dm crypt keys don't need to be reloaded.
Currently, only x86 supports the 2nd solution. If the 2nd solution gets
extended to all arches, this patch can be dropped.

A configfs /sys/kernel/config/crash_dm_crypt_keys is provided for user
space to make the dm crypt keys persist for the kdump kernel. Take the
case of dumping to a LUKS-encrypted target as an example, here is the life
cycle of the kdump copies of LUKS volume keys,
1. After the 1st kernel loads the initramfs during boot, systemd uses
an user-input passphrase to de-crypt the LUKS volume keys or simply
TPM-sealed volume keys and then save the volume keys to specified
keyring (using the --link-vk-to-keyring API) and the keys will expire
within specified time.
2. A user space tool (kdump initramfs loader like kdump-utils) create
key items inside /sys/kernel/config/crash_dm_crypt_keys to inform
the 1st kernel which keys are needed.
3. When the kdump initramfs is loaded by the kexec_file_load
syscall, the 1st kernel will iterate created key items, save the
keys to kdump reserved memory.
4. When the 1st kernel crashes and the kdump initramfs is booted, the
kdump initramfs asks the kdump kernel to create a user key using the
key stored in kdump reserved memory by writing yes to
/sys/kernel/crash_dm_crypt_keys/restore. Then the LUKS encrypted
device is unlocked with libcryptsetup's --volume-key-keyring API.
5. The system gets rebooted to the 1st kernel after dumping vmcore to
the LUKS encrypted device is finished
Eventually the keys have to stay in the kdump reserved memory for the
kdump kernel to unlock encrypted volumes. During this process, some
measures like letting the keys expire within specified time are desirable
to reduce security risk.
This patch assumes,
1) there are 128 LUKS devices at maximum to be unlocked thus
MAX_KEY_NUM=128.
2) a key description won't exceed 128 bytes thus KEY_DESC_MAX_LEN=128.
And here is a demo on how to interact with
/sys/kernel/config/crash_dm_crypt_keys,
# Add key #1

Patch series "Support kdump with LUKS encryption by reusing LUKS volume
keys", v9.
LUKS is the standard for Linux disk encryption, widely adopted by users,
and in some cases, such as Confidential VMs, it is a requirement. With
kdump enabled, when the first kernel crashes, the system can boot into the
kdump/crash kernel to dump the memory image (i.e., /proc/vmcore) to a
specified target. However, there are two challenges when dumping vmcore
to a LUKS-encrypted device:
- Kdump kernel may not be able to decrypt the LUKS partition. For some
machines, a system administrator may not have a chance to enter the
password to decrypt the device in kdump initramfs after the 1st kernel
crashes; For cloud confidential VMs, depending on the policy the
kdump kernel may not be able to unseal the keys with TPM and the
console virtual keyboard is untrusted.
- LUKS2 by default use the memory-hard Argon2 key derivation function
which is quite memory-consuming compared to the limited memory reserved
for kdump. Take Fedora example, by default, only 256M is reserved for
systems having memory between 4G-64G. With LUKS enabled, ~1300M needs
to be reserved for kdump. Note if the memory reserved for kdump can't
be used by 1st kernel i.e. an user sees ~1300M memory missing in the
1st kernel.
Besides users (at least for Fedora) usually expect kdump to work out of
the box i.e. no manual password input or custom crashkernel value is
needed. And it doesn't make sense to derivate the keys again in kdump
kernel which seems to be redundant work.
This patchset addresses the above issues by making the LUKS volume keys
persistent for kdump kernel with the help of cryptsetup's new APIs
(--link-vk-to-keyring/--volume-key-keyring). Here is the life cycle of
the kdump copies of LUKS volume keys,
1. After the 1st kernel loads the initramfs during boot, systemd
use an user-input passphrase to de-crypt the LUKS volume keys
or TPM-sealed key and then save the volume keys to specified keyring
(using the --link-vk-to-keyring API) and the key will expire within
specified time.
2. A user space tool (kdump initramfs loader like kdump-utils) create
key items inside /sys/kernel/config/crash_dm_crypt_keys to inform
the 1st kernel which keys are needed.
3. When the kdump initramfs is loaded by the kexec_file_load
syscall, the 1st kernel will iterate created key items, save the
keys to kdump reserved memory.
4. When the 1st kernel crashes and the kdump initramfs is booted, the
kdump initramfs asks the kdump kernel to create a user key using the
key stored in kdump reserved memory by writing yes to
/sys/kernel/crash_dm_crypt_keys/restore. Then the LUKS encrypted
device is unlocked with libcryptsetup's --volume-key-keyring API.
5. The system gets rebooted to the 1st kernel after dumping vmcore to
the LUKS encrypted device is finished
After libcryptsetup saving the LUKS volume keys to specified keyring,
whoever takes this should be responsible for the safety of these copies of
keys. The keys will be saved in the memory area exclusively reserved for
kdump where even the 1st kernel has no direct access. And further more,
two additional protections are added,
- save the copy randomly in kdump reserved memory as suggested by Jan
- clear the _PAGE_PRESENT flag of the page that stores the copy as
suggested by Pingfan
This patchset only supports x86. There will be patches to support other
architectures once this patch set gets merged.
This patch (of 9):
Currently, kexec_buf is placed in order which means for the same machine,
the info in the kexec_buf is always located at the same position each time
the machine is booted. This may cause a risk for sensitive information
like LUKS volume key. Now struct kexec_buf has a new field random which
indicates it's supposed to be placed in a random position.
Note this feature is enabled only when CONFIG_CRASH_DUMP is enabled. So
it only takes effect for kdump and won't impact kexec reboot.

Patch series "scripts/gdb: Fixes related to lx_per_cpu()".
These patches (1) fix kgdb detection on systems featuring a single CPU and
(2) update the documentation to reflect the current usage of lx_per_cpu()
and update an outdated example of its usage.
This patch (of 2):
When requested the list of threads via qfThreadInfo, gdb_cmd_query in
kernel/debug/gdbstub.c first returns "shadow" threads for CPUs followed by
the actual tasks in the system. Extended qThreadExtraInfo queries yield
"shadowCPU%d" as the name for the CPU core threads.
This behavior is used by get_gdbserver_type() to probe for KGDB by
matching the name for the thread 2 against "shadowCPU". This breaks down
on single-core systems, where thread 2 is the first nonshadow thread.
Request the name for thread 1 instead.
As GDB assigns thread IDs in the order of their appearance, it is safe to
assume shadowCPU0 at ID 1 as long as CPU0 is not hotplugged.

In preparation for writing logs, in nilfs_btree_propagate(), which makes
parent and ancestor node blocks dirty starting from a modified data block
or b-tree node block, if the starting block does not belong to the b-tree,
i.e. is isolated, nilfs_btree_do_lookup() called within the function
fails with -ENOENT.
In this case, even though -ENOENT is an internal code, it is propagated to
the log writer via nilfs_bmap_propagate() and may be erroneously returned
to system calls such as fsync().
Fix this issue by changing the error code to -EINVAL in this case, and
having the bmap layer detect metadata corruption and convert the error

strncpy_from_user_nofault() should return the length of the copied string
including the trailing NUL, but if the argument unsafe_addr points to an
empty string ({'\0'}), the return value is 0.
This happens as strncpy_from_user() copies terminal symbol into dst and
returns 0 (as expected), but strncpy_from_user_nofault does not modify ret
as it is not equal to count and not greater than 0, so 0 is returned,
which contradicts the contract.

When updating `watchdog_thresh`, there is a race condition between writing
the new `watchdog_thresh` value and stopping the old watchdog timer. If
the old timer triggers during this window, it may falsely detect a
softlockup due to the old interval and the new `watchdog_thresh` value
being used. The problem can be described as follow:
# We asuume previous watchdog_thresh is 60, so the watchdog timer is
# coming every 24s.
echo 10 > /proc/sys/kernel/watchdog_thresh (User space)
|
+------>+ update watchdog_thresh (We are in kernel now)
|
| # using old interval and new `watchdog_thresh`
+------>+ watchdog hrtimer (irq context: detect softlockup)
|
|
+-------+
|
|
+ softlockup_stop_all
To fix this problem, introduce a shadow variable for `watchdog_thresh`.
The update to the actual `watchdog_thresh` is delayed until after the old
timer is stopped, preventing false positives.
The following testcase may help to understand this problem.
---------------------------------------------
echo RT_RUNTIME_SHARE > /sys/kernel/debug/sched/features
echo -1 > /proc/sys/kernel/sched_rt_runtime_us
echo 0 > /sys/kernel/debug/sched/fair_server/cpu3/runtime
echo 60 > /proc/sys/kernel/watchdog_thresh
taskset -c 3 chrt -r 99 /bin/bash -c "while true;do true; done" &
echo 10 > /proc/sys/kernel/watchdog_thresh &
---------------------------------------------
The test case above first removes the throttling restrictions for
real-time tasks. It then sets watchdog_thresh to 60 and executes a
real-time task ,a simple while(1) loop, on cpu3. Consequently, the final
command gets blocked because the presence of this real-time thread
prevents kworker:3 from being selected by the scheduler. This eventually
triggers a softlockup detection on cpu3 due to watchdog_timer_fn operating
with inconsistent variable - using both the old interval and the updated
watchdog_thresh simultaneously.

Right now test_kmod has hardcoded dependencies on btrfs/xfs. That is not
optimal since you end up needing to select/build them, but it is not
really required since other fs could be selected for the testing. Also,
we can't change the default/driver module used for testing on
initialization.
Thus make it more generic: introduce two module parameters (start_driver
and start_test_fs), which allow to select which modules/fs to use for the
testing on test_kmod initialization. Then it's up to the user to select
which modules/fs to use for testing based on his config. However, keep
test_module as required default.
This way, config/modules becomes selectable as when the testing is done
from selftests (userspace).
While at it, also change trigger_config_run_type, since at module
initialization we already set the defaults at __kmod_config_init and
should not need to do it again in test_kmod_init(), thus we can avoid to
again set test_driver/test_fs.
