Ftrace is tightly coupled with architecture specific code because it
requires the use of trampolines written in assembly. This means that when
a new feature or optimization is made, it must be done for all
architectures. To simplify the approach, CONFIG_HAVE_FTRACE_* configs are
added to denote which architecture has the new enhancement so that other
architectures can still function until they too have been updated.
The CONFIG_HAVE_FTRACE_MCOUNT was added to help simplify the
DYNAMIC_FTRACE work, but now every architecture that implements
DYNAMIC_FTRACE also has HAVE_FTRACE_MCOUNT set too, making it redundant
with the HAVE_DYNAMIC_FTRACE.
Remove the HAVE_FTRACE_MCOUNT config and use DYNAMIC_FTRACE directly where
applicable.

When soft disabling of trace events was first created, it needed to have a
way to know if a file had a user that was using it with soft disabled (for
triggers that need to enable or disable events from a context that can not
really enable or disable the event, it would set SOFT_DISABLED to state it
is disabled). The flag SOFT_MODE was used to denote that an event had a
user that would enable or disable it via the SOFT_DISABLED flag.
Commit 1cf4c0732d ("tracing: Modify soft-mode only if there's no other
referrer") fixed a bug where if two users were using the SOFT_DISABLED
flag the accounting would get messed up as the SOFT_MODE flag could only
handle one user. That commit added the sm_ref counter which kept track of
how many users were using the event in "soft mode". This made the
SOFT_MODE flag redundant as it should only be set if the sm_ref counter is
non zero.
Remove the SOFT_MODE flag and just use the sm_ref counter to know the
event is in soft mode or not. This makes the code a bit simpler.

ftrace has two flavors:
1) static: Where every function always calls the ftrace trampoline
2) dynamic: Where each function has nops that can be changed on demand to
jump to the ftrace trampoline when needed.
The static flavor has very high performance overhead and was only created
to make it easier for architectures to implement the dynamic flavor. An
architecture developer can first implement the static ftrace to make sure
the trampolines work before working on the more complicated dynamic aspect
of ftrace. Once the architecture can support dynamic ftrace, there's no
reason to continue to support the static flavor. In fact, the static
flavor tends to bitrot and bugs start to appear in them.
Remove the prompt to pick DYNAMIC_FTRACE and simply enable it if the
architecture supports it.

When the ring buffer was first introduced, reading the non-consuming
"trace" file required disabling the writing of the ring buffer. To make
sure the writing was fully disabled before iterating the buffer with a
non-consuming read, it would set the disable flag of the buffer and then
call an RCU synchronization to make sure all the buffers were
synchronized.
The function ring_buffer_read_start() originally would initialize the
iterator and call an RCU synchronization, but this was for each individual
per CPU buffer where this would get called many times on a machine with
many CPUs before the trace file could be read. The commit 72c9ddfd4c
("ring-buffer: Make non-consuming read less expensive with lots of cpus.")
separated ring_buffer_read_start into ring_buffer_read_prepare(),
ring_buffer_read_sync() and then ring_buffer_read_start() to allow each of
the per CPU buffers to be prepared, call the read_buffer_read_sync() once,
and then the ring_buffer_read_start() for each of the CPUs which made
things much faster.
The commit 1039221cc2 ("ring-buffer: Do not disable recording when there
is an iterator") removed the requirement of disabling the recording of the
ring buffer in order to iterate it, but it did not remove the
synchronization that was happening that was required to wait for all the
buffers to have no more writers. It's now OK for the buffers to have
writers and no synchronization is needed.
Remove the synchronization and put back the interface for the ring buffer
iterator back before commit 72c9ddfd4c was applied.

Yicon reported and Liangyan debugged a live lock in handle_edge_irq()
related to interrupt migration.
If the interrupt affinity is moved to a new target CPU and the interrupt is
currently handled on the previous target CPU for edge type interrupts the
handler might get stuck on the previous target:
CPU 0 (previous target) CPU 1 (new target)
handle_edge_irq()
repeat:
handle_event() handle_edge_irq()
if (INPROGESS) {
set(PENDING);
mask();
return;
}
if (PENDING) {
clear(PENDING);
unmask();
goto repeat;
}
The migration in software never completes and CPU0 continues to handle the
pending events forever. This happens when the device raises interrupts with
a high rate and always before handle_event() completes and before the CPU0
handler can clear INPROGRESS so that CPU1 sets the PENDING flag over and
over. This has been observed in virtual machines.
Prevent this by checking whether the CPU which observes the INPROGRESS flag
is the new affinity target. If that's the case, do not set the PENDING flag
and wait for the INPROGRESS flag to be cleared instead, so that the new
interrupt is handled on the new target CPU and the previous CPU is released
from the action.
This is restricted to the edge type handler and only utilized on systems,
which use single CPU targets for interrupt affinity.

they explicitly provide nanosecond values.
When the use_nsecs field was added to struct system_counterval, most

which usually results in -EINVAL during the following range check.

The synchronization of CPU offlining with GP initialization is confusing
to put it mildly (rightfully so as the issue it deals with is complex).
Recent discussions brought up a question -- what prevents the
rcu_implicit_dyntick_qs() from warning about QS reports for offline
CPUs (missing QS reports for offline CPUs causing indefinite hangs).
QS reporting for now-offline CPUs should only happen from:
- gp_init()
- rcutree_cpu_report_dead()
Add some documentation on this and refer to it from comments in the code
explaining how QS reporting is not missed when these functions are
concurrently running.
I referred heavily to this post [1] about the need for the ofl_lock.

- Rename CONFIG_GCC_PLUGIN_STACKLEAK as needed to CONFIG_KSTACK_ERASE,

- Rename all exposed "STACKLEAK" names and files to "KSTACK_ERASE" (named
for what it does rather than what it protects against), but leave as
many of the internals alone as possible to avoid even more churn.
While here, also split "prev_lowest_stack" into CONFIG_KSTACK_ERASE_METRICS,

All architectures have an interruptible RCU extended quiescent state
(EQS) as part of their idle sequences, where interrupts can occur
without RCU watching. Entry code must account for this and wake RCU as
necessary; the common entry code deals with this in irqentry_enter() by
treating any interrupt from an idle thread as potentially having
occurred within an EQS and waking RCU for the duration of the interrupt
via rcu_irq_enter() .. rcu_irq_exit().
Some architectures may have other interruptible EQSs which require
similar treatment. For example, on s390 it is necessary to enable
interrupts around guest entry in the middle of a period where core KVM
code has entered an EQS.
So that architectures can wake RCU in these cases, this patch adds a
new arch_in_rcu_eqs() hook to the common entry code which is checked in
addition to the existing is_idle_thread() check, with RCU woken if
either returns true. A default implementation is provided which always
returns false, which suffices for most architectures.
As no architectures currently implement arch_in_rcu_eqs(), there should
be no functional change as a result of this patch alone. A subsequent
patch will add an s390 implementation to fix a latent bug with missing
RCU wakeups.

Pull tracing fixes from Steven Rostedt:
- Fix timerlat with use of FORTIFY_SOURCE
FORTIFY_SOURCE was added to the stack tracer where it compares the
entry->caller array to having entry->size elements.
timerlat has the following:
memcpy(&entry->caller, fstack->calls, size);
entry->size = size;
Which triggers FORTIFY_SOURCE as the caller is populated before the
entry->size is initialized.
Swap the order to satisfy FORTIFY_SOURCE logic.
- Add down_write(trace_event_sem) when adding trace events in modules
Trace events being added to the ftrace_events array are protected by
the trace_event_sem semaphore. But when loading modules that have
trace events, the addition of the events are not protected by the
semaphore and loading two modules that have events at the same time
can corrupt the list.
Also add a lockdep_assert_held(trace_event_sem) to
_trace_add_event_dirs() to confirm it is held when iterating the
list.

Inspired by mutex blocker tracking[1], and having already extended it to
semaphores, let's now add support for reader-writer semaphores (rwsems).
The approach is simple: when a task enters TASK_UNINTERRUPTIBLE while
waiting for an rwsem, we just call hung_task_set_blocker(). The hung task
detector can then query the rwsem's owner to identify the lock holder.
Tracking works reliably for writers, as there can only be a single writer
holding the lock, and its task struct is stored in the owner field.
The main challenge lies with readers. The owner field points to only one
of many concurrent readers, so we might lose track of the blocker if that
specific reader unlocks, even while others remain. This is not a
significant issue, however. In practice, long-lasting lock contention is
almost always caused by a writer. Therefore, reliably tracking the writer
is the primary goal of this patch series ;)
With this change, the hung task detector can now show blocker task's info
like below:

Patch series "extend hung task blocker tracking to rwsems".
Inspired by mutex blocker tracking[1], and having already extended it to
semaphores, let's now add support for reader-writer semaphores (rwsems).
The approach is simple: when a task enters TASK_UNINTERRUPTIBLE while
waiting for an rwsem, we just call hung_task_set_blocker(). The hung task
detector can then query the rwsem's owner to identify the lock holder.
Tracking works reliably for writers, as there can only be a single writer
holding the lock, and its task struct is stored in the owner field.
The main challenge lies with readers. The owner field points to only one
of many concurrent readers, so we might lose track of the blocker if that
specific reader unlocks, even while others remain. This is not a
significant issue, however. In practice, long-lasting lock contention is
almost always caused by a writer. Therefore, reliably tracking the writer
is the primary goal of this patch series ;)
With this change, the hung task detector can now show blocker task's info
like below:

This patch (of 3):
In preparation for extending blocker tracking to support rwsems, make the
rwsem_owner() and is_rwsem_reader_owned() helpers globally available for
determining if the blocker is a writer or one of the readers.
Additionally, a stale owner pointer in a reader-owned rwsem can lead to
false positives in blocker tracking when CONFIG_DETECT_HUNG_TASK_BLOCKER
is enabled. To mitigate this, clear the owner field on the reader unlock
path, similar to what CONFIG_DEBUG_RWSEMS does. A NULL owner is better
than a stale one for diagnostics.

Patch series "generalize panic_print's dump function to be used by other
kernel parts", v3.
When working on kernel stability issues, panic, task-hung and
software/hardware lockup are frequently met. And to debug them, user may
need lots of system information at that time, like task call stacks, lock
info, memory info etc.
panic case already has panic_print_sys_info() for this purpose, and has a
'panic_print' bitmask to control what kinds of information is needed,
which is also helpful to debug other task-hung and lockup cases.
So this patchset extracts the function out to a new file 'lib/sys_info.c',
and makes it available for other cases which also need to dump system info
for debugging.
Also as suggested by Petr Mladek, add 'panic_sys_info=' interface to take
human readable string like "tasks,mem,locks,timers,ftrace,....", and
eventually obsolete the current 'panic_print' bitmap interface.
In RFC and V1 version, hung_task and SW/HW watchdog modules are enabled
with the new sys_info dump interface. In v2, they are kept out for better
review of current change, and will be posted later.
Locally these have been used in our bug chasing for stability issues and
was proven helpful.
Many thanks to Petr Mladek for great suggestions on both the code and
architectures!
This patch (of 5):
Currently the panic_print_sys_info() was called twice with different
parameters to handle console replay case, which is kind of confusing.
Add panic_console_replay() explicitly and rename
'PANIC_PRINT_ALL_PRINTK_MSG' to 'PANIC_CONSOLE_REPLAY', to make the code
straightforward. The related kernel document is also updated.

When re-using the CMA area for kdump there is a risk of pending DMA into
pinned user pages in the CMA area.
Pages residing in CMA areas can usually not get long-term pinned and are
instead migrated away from the CMA area, so long-term pinning is typically
not a concern. (BUGs in the kernel might still lead to long-term pinning
of such pages if everything goes wrong.)
Pages pinned without FOLL_LONGTERM remain in the CMA and may possibly be
the source or destination of a pending DMA transfer.
Although there is no clear specification how long a page may be pinned
without FOLL_LONGTERM, pinning without the flag shows an intent of the
caller to only use the memory for short-lived DMA transfers, not a
transfer initiated by a device asynchronously at a random time in the
future.
Add a delay of CMA_DMA_TIMEOUT_SEC seconds before starting the kdump
kernel, giving such short-lived DMA transfers time to finish before the
CMA memory is re-used by the kdump kernel.
Set CMA_DMA_TIMEOUT_SEC to 10 seconds - chosen arbitrarily as both a huge
margin for a DMA transfer, yet not increasing the kdump time too
significantly.

Patch series "kdump: crashkernel reservation from CMA", v5.
This series implements a way to reserve additional crash kernel memory
using CMA.
Currently, all the memory for the crash kernel is not usable by the 1st
(production) kernel. It is also unmapped so that it can't be corrupted by
the fault that will eventually trigger the crash. This makes sense for
the memory actually used by the kexec-loaded crash kernel image and initrd
and the data prepared during the load (vmcoreinfo, ...). However, the
reserved space needs to be much larger than that to provide enough
run-time memory for the crash kernel and the kdump userspace. Estimating
the amount of memory to reserve is difficult. Being too careful makes
kdump likely to end in OOM, being too generous takes even more memory from
the production system. Also, the reservation only allows reserving a
single contiguous block (or two with the "low" suffix). I've seen systems
where this fails because the physical memory is fragmented.
By reserving additional crashkernel memory from CMA, the main crashkernel
reservation can be just large enough to fit the kernel and initrd image,
minimizing the memory taken away from the production system. Most of the
run-time memory for the crash kernel will be memory previously available
to userspace in the production system. As this memory is no longer
wasted, the reservation can be done with a generous margin, making kdump
more reliable. Kernel memory that we need to preserve for dumping is
normally not allocated from CMA, unless it is explicitly allocated as
movable. Currently this is only the case for memory ballooning and zswap.
Such movable memory will be missing from the vmcore. User data is
typically not dumped by makedumpfile. When dumping of user data is
intended this new CMA reservation cannot be used.
There are five patches in this series:
The first adds a new ",cma" suffix to the recenly introduced generic
crashkernel parsing code. parse_crashkernel() takes one more argument to
store the cma reservation size.
The second patch implements reserve_crashkernel_cma() which performs the
reservation. If the requested size is not available in a single range,
multiple smaller ranges will be reserved.
The third patch updates Documentation/, explicitly mentioning the
potential DMA corruption of the CMA-reserved memory.
The fourth patch adds a short delay before booting the kdump kernel,
allowing pending DMA transfers to finish.
The fifth patch enables the functionality for x86 as a proof of
concept. There are just three things every arch needs to do:
- call reserve_crashkernel_cma()
- include the CMA-reserved ranges in the physical memory map
- exclude the CMA-reserved ranges from the memory available
through /proc/vmcore by excluding them from the vmcoreinfo
PT_LOAD ranges.
Adding other architectures is easy and I can do that as soon as this
series is merged.
With this series applied, specifying
crashkernel=100M craskhernel=1G,cma
on the command line will make a standard crashkernel reservation
of 100M, where kexec will load the kernel and initrd.
An additional 1G will be reserved from CMA, still usable by the production
system. The crash kernel will have 1.1G memory available. The 100M can
be reliably predicted based on the size of the kernel and initrd.
The new cma suffix is completely optional. When no
crashkernel=size,cma is specified, everything works as before.
This patch (of 5):
Add a new cma_size parameter to parse_crashkernel(). When not NULL, call
__parse_crashkernel to parse the CMA reservation size from
"crashkernel=size,cma" and store it in cma_size.
Set cma_size to NULL in all calls to parse_crashkernel().

When a module is loaded, it adds trace events defined by the module. It
may also need to modify the modules trace printk formats to replace enum
names with their values.
If two modules are loaded at the same time, the adding of the event to the
ftrace_events list can corrupt the walking of the list in the code that is
modifying the printk format strings and crash the kernel.
The addition of the event should take the trace_event_sem for write while
it adds the new event.
Also add a lockdep_assert_held() on that semaphore in
__trace_add_event_dirs() as it iterates the list.

Pull sched_ext fixes from Tejun Heo:
- Fix handling of migration disabled tasks in default idle selection
- update_locked_rq() called __this_cpu_write() spuriously with NULL
when @rq was not locked. As the writes were spurious, it didn't break
anything directly. However, the function could be called in a
preemptible leading to a context warning in __this_cpu_write(). Skip
the spurious NULL writes.

/proc/cgroups lists only v1 controllers by default, however, this is
only enforced since the commit af000ce852 ("cgroup: Do not report
unavailable v1 controllers in /proc/cgroups") and there is software in
the wild that uses content of /proc/cgroups to decide on availability of
v2 (sic) controllers.
Add a boottime param that can bring back the previous behavior for
setups where the check in the software cannot be changed and it causes
e.g. unintended OOMs.
Also, this patch takes out cgrp_v1_visible from cgroup1_subsys_absent()
guard since it's only important to check which hierarchy (v1 vs v2) the
subsys is attached to. This has no effect on the printed message but
the code is cleaner since cgrp_v1_visible is really about mounted
hierarchies, not the content of /proc/cgroups.

__timerlat_dump_stack() constructs the ftrace stack entry like this:
struct stack_entry *entry;
...
memcpy(&entry->caller, fstack->calls, size);
entry->size = fstack->nr_entries;
Since commit e7186af7fb ("tracing: Add back FORTIFY_SOURCE logic to
kernel_stack event structure"), struct stack_entry marks its caller
field with __counted_by(size). At the time of the memcpy, entry->size
contains garbage from the ringbuffer, which under some circumstances is
zero, triggering a kernel panic by buffer overflow.
Populate the size field before the memcpy so that the out-of-bounds
check knows the correct size. This is analogous to
__ftrace_trace_stack().
