This commit abstracts the srcu_read_unlock*() integer-to-pointer
conversion into a new __srcu_ctr_to_ptr(). This will be used
in rcutorture for testing an srcu_read_unlock_fast() that avoids
array-indexing overhead by taking a pointer rather than an integer.

This commit switches from a direct test of SRCU_READ_FLAVOR_LITE to a new
SRCU_READ_FLAVOR_SLOWGP macro to check for substituting synchronize_rcu()
for smp_mb() in SRCU grace periods. Right now, SRCU_READ_FLAVOR_SLOWGP
is exactly SRCU_READ_FLAVOR_LITE, but the addition of the _fast() flavor
of SRCU will change that.

Currently, srcu_get_delay() can be called concurrently, for example,
by a CPU that is the first to request a new grace period and the CPU
processing the current grace period. Although concurrent access is
harmless, it unnecessarily expands the state space. Additionally,
all calls to srcu_get_delay() are from slow paths.
This commit therefore protects all calls to srcu_get_delay() with
ssp->srcu_sup->lock, which is already held on the invocation from the
srcu_funnel_gp_start() function. While in the area, this commit also
adds a lockdep_assert_held() to srcu_get_delay() itself.

Given that SRCU allows its read-side critical sections are not just
preemptible, but also allow general blocking, there is not much
reason to restrict Tiny SRCU to non-preemptible kernels. This commit
therefore removes Tiny SRCU dependencies on non-preemptibility, primarily
surrounding its interaction with rcutorture and early boot.

If a memory allocation fails during dup_mmap(), the maple tree can be left
in an unsafe state for other iterators besides the exit path. All the
locks are dropped before the exit_mmap() call (in mm/mmap.c), but the
incomplete mm_struct can be reached through (at least) the rmap finding
the vmas which have a pointer back to the mm_struct.
Up to this point, there have been no issues with being able to find an
mm_struct that was only partially initialised. Syzbot was able to make
the incomplete mm_struct fail with recent forking changes, so it has been
proven unsafe to use the mm_struct that hasn't been initialised, as
referenced in the link below.
Although 8ac662f5da ("fork: avoid inappropriate uprobe access to
invalid mm") fixed the uprobe access, it does not completely remove the
race.
This patch sets the MMF_OOM_SKIP to avoid the iteration of the vmas on the
oom side (even though this is extremely unlikely to be selected as an oom
victim in the race window), and sets MMF_UNSTABLE to avoid other potential
users from using a partially initialised mm_struct.
When registering vmas for uprobe, skip the vmas in an mm that is marked
unstable. Modifying a vma in an unstable mm may cause issues if the mm
isn't fully initialised.

When audit is enabled in a kernel build, and there are no LSMs active
that support LSM labeling, it is possible that local variable lsmctx
in the AUDIT_SIGNAL_INFO handler in audit_receive_msg() could be used
before it is properly initialize. Then kmalloc() will try to allocate
a large amount of memory with the uninitialized length.
This patch corrects this problem by initializing the lsmctx to a safe
value when it is declared, which avoid errors like:

"Here is the big set of driver core and debugfs updates for 6.14-rc1.
Included in here is a bunch of driver core, PCI, OF, and platform rust
bindings (all acked by the different subsystem maintainers), hence the
merge conflict with the rust tree, and some driver core api updates to
mark things as const, which will also require some fixups due to new
stuff coming in through other trees in this merge window.
There are also a bunch of debugfs updates from Al, and there is at
least one user that does have a regression with these, but Al is
working on tracking down the fix for it. In my use (and everyone
else's linux-next use), it does not seem like a big issue at the
moment.
Here's a short list of the things in here:
- driver core rust bindings for PCI, platform, OF, and some i/o
functions.
We are almost at the "write a real driver in rust" stage now,
depending on what you want to do.
- misc device rust bindings and a sample driver to show how to use
them
- debugfs cleanups in the fs as well as the users of the fs api for
places where drivers got it wrong or were unnecessarily doing
things in complex ways.
- driver core const work, making more of the api take const * for
different parameters to make the rust bindings easier overall.
- other small fixes and updates

merge conflicts, and the one debugfs issue, which looks to be resolved
"soon""

Add the const qualifier to all the ctl_tables in the tree except for
watchdog_hardlockup_sysctl, memory_allocation_profiling_sysctls,
loadpin_sysctl_table and the ones calling register_net_sysctl (./net,
drivers/inifiniband dirs). These are special cases as they use a
registration function with a non-const qualified ctl_table argument or
modify the arrays before passing them on to the registration function.
Constifying ctl_table structs will prevent the modification of
proc_handler function pointers as the arrays would reside in .rodata.

Pull rv and tools/rtla updates from Steven Rostedt:
- Add a test suite to test the tool
Add a small test suite that can be used to test rtla's basic features
to at least have something to test when applying changes.
- Automate manual steps in monitor creation
While creating a new monitor in RV, besides generating code from
dot2k, there are a few manual steps which can be tedious and error
prone, like adding the tracepoints, makefile lines and kconfig, or
selecting events that start the monitor in the initial state.
Updates were made to try and automate as much as possible among those
steps to make creating a new RV monitor much quicker. It is still
requires to select proper tracepoints, this step is harder to
automate in a general way and, in several cases, would still need
user intervention.
- Have rtla timerlat hist and top set OSNOISE_WORKLOAD flag
Have both rtla-timerlat-hist and rtla-timerlat-top set
OSNOISE_WORKLOAD to the proper value ("on" when running with -k,
"off" when running with -u) every time the option is available
instead of setting it only when running with -u.
This prevents rtla timerlat -k from giving no results when
NO_OSNOISE_WORKLOAD is set, either manually or by an abnormally
exited earlier run of rtla timerlat -u.
- Stop rtla timerlat on signal properly when overloaded
There is an issue where if rtla is run on machines with a high number
of CPUs (100+), timerlat can generate more samples than rtla is able
to process via tracefs_iterate_raw_events. This is especially common
when the interval is set to 100us (rteval and cyclictest default) as
opposed to the rtla default of 1000us, but also happens with the rtla
default.
Currently, this leads to rtla hanging and having to be terminated
with SIGTERM. SIGINT setting stop_tracing is not enough, since more
and more events are coming and tracefs_iterate_raw_events never
exits.
To fix this: Stop the timerlat tracer on SIGINT/SIGALRM to ensure no
more events are generated when rtla is supposed to exit.
Also on receiving SIGINT/SIGALRM twice, abort iteration immediately
with tracefs_iterate_stop, making rtla exit right away instead of
waiting for all events to be processed.
- Account for missed events
Due to tracefs buffer overflow, it can happen that rtla misses
events, making the tracing results inaccurate.
Count both the number of missed events and the total number of
processed events, and display missed events as well as their
percentage. The numbers are displayed for both osnoise and timerlat,
even though for the earlier, missed events are generally not
expected.
For hist, the number is displayed at the end of the run; for top, it
is displayed on each printing of the top table.
- Changes to make osnoise more robust
There was a dependency in the code that the first field of the
osnoise_tool structure was the trace field. If that that ever
changed, then the code work break. Change the code to encapsulate
this dependency where the code that uses the structure does not have
this dependency.

Pull runtime verifier and osnoise fixes from Steven Rostedt:
- Reset idle tasks on reset for runtime verifier
When the runtime verifier is reset, it resets the task's data that is
being monitored. But it only iterates for_each_process() which does
not include the idle tasks. As the idle tasks can be monitored, they
need to be reset as well.
- Fix the enabling and disabling of tracepoints in osnoise
If timerlat is enabled and the WORKLOAD flag is not set, then the
osnoise tracer will enable the migrate task tracepoint to monitor it
for its own workload. The test to enable the tracepoint is done
against user space modifiable parameters. On disabling of the tracer,
those same parameters are used to determine if the tracepoint should
be disabled. The problem is if user space were to modify the
parameters after it enables the tracer then it may not disable the
tracepoint.
Instead, a static variable is used to keep track if the tracepoint
was enabled or not. Then when the tracer shuts down, it will use this
variable to decide to disable the tracepoint or not, instead of
looking at the user space parameters.

Switch away from using sha1 for module signing by default and use the
more modern sha512 instead, which is what among others Arch, Fedora,
RHEL, and Ubuntu are currently using for their kernels.
Sha1 has not been considered secure against well-funded opponents since
2005[1]; since 2011 the NIST and other organizations furthermore
recommended its replacement[2]. This is why OpenSSL on RHEL9, Fedora
Linux 41+[3], and likely some other current and future distributions
reject the creation of sha1 signatures, which leads to a build error of
allmodconfig configurations:
80A20474797F0000:error:03000098:digital envelope routines:do_sigver_init:invalid digest:crypto/evp/m_sigver.c:342:

This change makes allmodconfig work again and sets a default that is
more appropriate for current and future users, too.

Resending this patch as I haven't received feedback on my initial
submission https://lore.kernel.org/all/20241204182953.10854-1-oxana@cloudflare.com/
For the processes which are terminated abnormally the kernel can provide
a coredump if enabled. When the coredump is performed, the process and
all its threads are put into the D state
(TASK_UNINTERRUPTIBLE | TASK_FREEZABLE).
On the other hand, we have kernel thread khungtaskd which monitors the
processes in the D state. If the task stuck in the D state more than
kernel.hung_task_timeout_secs, the hung_task alert appears in the kernel
log.
The higher memory usage of a process, the longer it takes to create
coredump, the longer tasks are in the D state. We have hung_task alerts
for the processes with memory usage above 10Gb. Although, our
kernel.hung_task_timeout_secs is 10 sec when the default is 120 sec.
Adding additional information to the log that the task is blocked by
coredump will help with monitoring. Another approach might be to
completely filter out alerts for such tasks, but in that case we would
lose transparency about what is putting pressure on some system
resources, e.g. we saw an increase in I/O when coredump occurs due its
writing to disk.
Additionally, it would be helpful to have task_struct->flags in the log
from the function sched_show_task(). Currently it prints
task_struct->thread_info->flags, this seems misleading as the line
starts with "task:xxxx".

If a timerlat tracer is started with the osnoise option OSNOISE_WORKLOAD
disabled, but then that option is enabled and timerlat is removed, the
tracepoints that were enabled on timerlat registration do not get
disabled. If the option is disabled again and timelat is started, then it
triggers a warning in the tracepoint code due to registering the
tracepoint again without ever disabling it.
Do not use the same user space defined options to know to disable the
tracepoints when timerlat is removed. Instead, set a global flag when it
is enabled and use that flag to know to disable the events.
