Previously, the mapped ring-buffer layout caused misalignment between
the meta-page and sub-buffers when the sub-buffer size was not a
multiple of PAGE_SIZE. This prevented hardware with larger TLB entries
from utilizing them effectively.
Add a padding with the zero-page between the meta-page and sub-buffers.
Also update the ring-buffer map_test to verify that padding.

The text and data address is saved in the meta data so that it can be used
to know the delta of the text and data addresses of the last boot compared
to the text and data addresses of the current boot. The delta is used to
convert function pointer entries in the ring buffer to something that can
be used by kallsyms (note this only works for built-in functions).
But the saved addresses get reset on boot up. If the buffer is not used
and there's another reboot, then the saved text and data addresses will be
of the last boot and not that of the boot that created the content in the
ring buffer.
To get an idea of the issue:

By not updating the saved text and data addresses in the meta data at
every boot up and only updating them when the buffer is reset, it
allows multiple boots to see the same data.

Allow boot instances to use memory reserved by the reserve_mem boot
option.
reserve_mem=12M:4096:trace trace_instance=boot_mapped@trace
The above will allocate 12 megs with 4096 alignment and label it "trace".
The second parameter will create a "boot_mapped" instance and use the
memory reserved and labeled as "trace" as the memory for the ring buffer.
That will create an instance called "boot_mapped":
/sys/kernel/tracing/instances/boot_mapped
Note, because the ring buffer is using a defined memory ranged, it will
act just like a memory mapped ring buffer. It will not have a snapshot
buffer, as it can't swap out the buffer. The snapshot files as well as any
tracers that uses a snapshot will not be present in the boot_mapped
instance.
Also note that reserve_mem is not reliable in acquiring the same physical
memory at each soft reboot. It is possible that KALSR could map the kernel
at the previous boot memory location forcing the reserve_mem to return a
different memory location. In this case, the previous ring buffer will be
lost.

The mapping of the ring buffer to memory allocated at boot up will also
expose a "last_boot_info" to help tooling to read the raw data from the
last boot. As instances that have their ring buffer mapped to fixed
memory cannot perform snapshots, they can either have the "snapshot" file
or the "last_boot_info" file, but not both.
The code that added the "last_boot_info" file failed to notice that the
"snapshot" creation was inside a "#ifdef CONFIG_TRACER_SNAPSHOT" and
incorrectly placed the creation of the "last_boot_info" file within the
ifdef block. Not only does it cause a warning when CONFIG_TRACER_SNAPSHOT
is not enabled, it also incorrectly prevents the file from appearing.

Pull time keeping fixes from Thomas Gleixner:
- Fix a couple of issues in the NTP code where user supplied values are
neither sanity checked nor clamped to the operating range. This
results in integer overflows and eventualy NTP getting out of sync.
According to the history the sanity checks had been removed in favor
of clamping the values, but the clamping never worked correctly under
all circumstances. The NTP people asked to not bring the sanity
checks back as it might break existing applications.
Make the clamping work correctly and add it where it's missing
- If adjtimex() sets the clock it has to trigger the hrtimer subsystem
so it can adjust and if the clock was set into the future expire
timers if needed. The caller should provide a bitmask to tell
hrtimers which clocks have been adjusted.
adjtimex() uses not the proper constant and uses CLOCK_REALTIME
instead, which is 0. So hrtimers adjusts only the clocks, but does
not check for expired timers, which might make them expire really
late. Use the proper bitmask constant instead.

The recursive aes-arm-bs module load situation reported by Russell King
is getting fixed in the crypto layer, but this in the meantime fixes the
"recursive load hangs forever" by just making the waiting for the first
module load be interruptible.
This should now match the old behavior before commit 9b9879fc03
("modules: catch concurrent module loads, treat them as idempotent"),
which used the different "wait for module to be ready" code in
module_patient_check_exists().
End result: a recursive module load will still block, but now a signal
will interrupt it and fail the second module load, at which point the
first module will successfully complete loading.

Pull tracing fixes from Steven Rostedt:
- Have reading of event format files test if the metadata still exists.
When a event is freed, a flag (EVENT_FILE_FL_FREED) in the metadata
is set to state that it is to prevent any new references to it from
happening while waiting for existing references to close. When the
last reference closes, the metadata is freed. But the "format" was
missing a check to this flag (along with some other files) that
allowed new references to happen, and a use-after-free bug to occur.
- Have the trace event meta data use the refcount infrastructure
instead of relying on its own atomic counters.
- Have tracefs inodes use alloc_inode_sb() for allocation instead of
using kmem_cache_alloc() directly.
- Have eventfs_create_dir() return an ERR_PTR instead of NULL as the
callers expect a real object or an ERR_PTR.
- Have release_ei() use call_srcu() and not call_rcu() as all the
protection is on SRCU and not RCU.
- Fix ftrace_graph_ret_addr() to use the task passed in and not
current.
- Fix overflow bug in get_free_elt() where the counter can overflow the
integer and cause an infinite loop.
- Remove unused function ring_buffer_nr_pages()
- Have tracefs freeing use the inode RCU infrastructure instead of
creating its own.
When the kernel had randomize structure fields enabled, the rcu field
of the tracefs_inode was overlapping the rcu field of the inode
structure, and corrupting it. Instead, use the destroy_inode()
callback to do the initial cleanup of the code, and then have
free_inode() free it.

Russell King reported that the arm cbc(aes) crypto module hangs when
loaded, and Herbert Xu bisected it to commit 9b9879fc03 ("modules:
catch concurrent module loads, treat them as idempotent"), and noted:
"So what's happening here is that the first modprobe tries to load a
fallback CBC implementation, in doing so it triggers a load of the
exact same module due to module aliases.
IOW we're loading aes-arm-bs which provides cbc(aes). However, this
needs a fallback of cbc(aes) to operate, which is made out of the
generic cbc module + any implementation of aes, or ecb(aes). The
latter happens to also be provided by aes-arm-cb so that's why it
tries to load the same module again"
So loading the aes-arm-bs module ends up wanting to recursively load
itself, and the recursive load then ends up waiting for the original
module load to complete.
This is a regression, in that it used to be that we just tried to load
the module multiple times, and then as we went on to install it the
second time we would instead just error out because the module name
already existed.
That is actually also exactly what the original "catch concurrent loads"
patch did in commit 9828ed3f69 ("module: error out early on concurrent
load of the same module file"), but it turns out that it ends up being
racy, in that erroring out before the module has been fully initialized
will cause failures in dependent module loading.
See commit ac2263b588 (which was the revert of that "error out early")
commit for details about why erroring out before the module has been
initialized is actually fundamentally racy.
Now, for the actual recursive module load (as opposed to just
concurrently loading the same module twice), the race is not an issue.
At the same time it's hard for the kernel to see that this is recursion,
because the module load is always done from a usermode helper, so the
recursion is not some simple callchain within the kernel.
End result: this is not the real fix, but this at least adds a warning
for the situation (admittedly much too late for all the debugging pain
that Russell and Herbert went through) and if we can come to a
resolution on how to detect the recursion properly, this re-organizes
the code to make that easier.

When collecting coverage from softirqs, KCOV uses in_serving_softirq() to
check whether the code is running in the softirq context. Unfortunately,
in_serving_softirq() is > 0 even when the code is running in the hardirq
or NMI context for hardirqs and NMIs that happened during a softirq.
As a result, if a softirq handler contains a remote coverage collection
section and a hardirq with another remote coverage collection section
happens during handling the softirq, KCOV incorrectly detects a nested
softirq coverate collection section and prints a WARNING, as reported by
syzbot.
This issue was exposed by commit a7f3813e58 ("usb: gadget: dummy_hcd:
Switch to hrtimer transfer scheduler"), which switched dummy_hcd to using
hrtimer and made the timer's callback be executed in the hardirq context.
Change the related checks in KCOV to account for this behavior of
in_serving_softirq() and make KCOV ignore remote coverage collection
sections in the hardirq and NMI contexts.
This prevents the WARNING printed by syzbot but does not fix the inability
of KCOV to collect coverage from the __usb_hcd_giveback_urb when dummy_hcd
is in use (caused by a7f3813e58); a separate patch is required for that.

"tracing_map->next_elt" in get_free_elt() is at risk of overflowing.
Once it overflows, new elements can still be inserted into the tracing_map
even though the maximum number of elements (`max_elts`) has been reached.
Continuing to insert elements after the overflow could result in the
tracing_map containing "tracing_map->max_size" elements, leaving no empty
entries.
If any attempt is made to insert an element into a full tracing_map using
`__tracing_map_insert()`, it will cause an infinite loop with preemption
disabled, leading to a CPU hang problem.
Fix this by preventing any further increments to "tracing_map->next_elt"
once it reaches "tracing_map->max_elt".

When eventfs was introduced, special care had to be done to coordinate the
freeing of the file meta data with the files that are exposed to user
space. The file meta data would have a ref count that is set when the file
is created and would be decremented and freed after the last user that
opened the file closed it. When the file meta data was to be freed, it
would set a flag (EVENT_FILE_FL_FREED) to denote that the file is freed,
and any new references made (like new opens or reads) would fail as it is
marked freed. This allowed other meta data to be freed after this flag was
set (under the event_mutex).
All the files that were dynamically created in the events directory had a
pointer to the file meta data and would call event_release() when the last
reference to the user space file was closed. This would be the time that it
is safe to free the file meta data.
A shortcut was made for the "format" file. It's i_private would point to
the "call" entry directly and not point to the file's meta data. This is
because all format files are the same for the same "call", so it was
thought there was no reason to differentiate them. The other files
maintain state (like the "enable", "trigger", etc). But this meant if the
file were to disappear, the "format" file would be unaware of it.
This caused a race that could be trigger via the user_events test (that
would create dynamic events and free them), and running a loop that would
read the user_events format files:
In one console run:
# cd tools/testing/selftests/user_events
# while true; do ./ftrace_test; done
And in another console run:
# cd /sys/kernel/tracing/
# while true; do cat events/user_events/__test_event/format; done 2>/dev/null
With KASAN memory checking, it would trigger a use-after-free bug report
(which was a real bug). This was because the format file was not checking
the file's meta data flag "EVENT_FILE_FL_FREED", so it would access the
event that the file meta data pointed to after the event was freed.
After inspection, there are other locations that were found to not check
the EVENT_FILE_FL_FREED flag when accessing the trace_event_file. Add a
new helper function: event_file_file() that will make sure that the
event_mutex is held, and will return NULL if the trace_event_file has the
EVENT_FILE_FL_FREED flag set. Have the first reference of the struct file
pointer use event_file_file() and check for NULL. Later uses can still use
the event_file_data() helper function if the event_mutex is still held and
was not released since the event_file_file() call.

If the affinity for the interrupt is not marked 'managed' then the startup
of the interrupt ignores irq_desc::affinity and uses the system default
affinity mask.
Prevent this by setting the IRQD_AFFINITY_SET flag for the interrupt in the
allocator, which causes irq_setup_affinity() to use irq_desc::affinity on
interrupt startup if the mask contains an online CPU.

Currently the dma debugging code can end up indirectly calling printk
under the radix_lock. This happens when a radix tree node allocation
fails.
This is a problem because the printk code, when used together with
netconsole, can end up inside the dma debugging code while trying to
transmit a message over netcons.
This creates the possibility of either a circular deadlock on the same
CPU, with that CPU trying to grab the radix_lock twice, or an ABBA
deadlock between different CPUs, where one CPU grabs the console lock
first and then waits for the radix_lock, while the other CPU is holding
the radix_lock and is waiting for the console lock.
The trace captured by lockdep is of the ABBA variant.

This bug is more likely than it seems, because when one CPU has run out

The good news is, this bug is hidden behind the CONFIG_DMA_API_DEBUG, so

The addition of the bases argument to clock_was_set() fixed up all call
sites correctly except for do_adjtimex(). This uses CLOCK_REALTIME
instead of CLOCK_SET_WALL as argument. CLOCK_REALTIME is 0.
As a result the effect of that clock_was_set() notification is incomplete
and might result in timers expiring late because the hrtimer code does
not re-evaluate the affected clock bases.
Use CLOCK_SET_WALL instead of CLOCK_REALTIME to tell the hrtimers code
which clock bases need to be re-evaluated.

Move it into the non-preemptible section right to the actual usage

- The clocksource watchdog is supposed to emit a warning when the

The condition is backwards and warns always when the count is
greater than one. Fixup the condition to prevent spamming dmesg"

- When stime is larger than rtime due to accounting imprecision, then
utime = rtime - stime becomes negative. As this is unsigned math, the

Cure it by resetting stime to rtime in that case, so utime becomes 0.
- Restore consistent state when sched_cpu_deactivate() fails.
When offlining a CPU fails in sched_cpu_deactivate() after the SMT
present counter has been decremented, then the function aborts but
fails to increment the SMT present counter and leaves it imbalanced.
Consecutive operations cause it to underflow. Add the missing fixup
for the error path.
For SMT accounting the runqueue needs to marked online again in the
error exit path to restore consistent state.

The TWA_NMI_CURRENT handling very much depends on IRQ_WORK, but that
isn't universally enabled everywhere.
Maybe the IRQ_WORK infrastructure should just be unconditional - x86
ends up indirectly enabling it through unconditionally enabling
PERF_EVENTS, for example. But it also gets enabled by having SMP
support, or even if you just have PRINTK enabled.
But in the meantime TWA_NMI_CURRENT causes tons of build failures on
various odd minimal configs. Which did show up in linux-next, but
despite that nobody bothered to fix it or even inform me until -rc1 was

This is the really old legacy kernel profiling code, which has long
since been obviated by "real profiling" (ie 'prof' and company), and
mainly remains as a source of syzbot reports.
There are anecdotal reports that people still use it for boot-time
profiling, but it's unlikely that such use would care about the old NUMA
optimizations in this code from 2004 (commit ad02973d42: "profile: 512x
Altix timer interrupt livelock fix" in the BK import archive at [1])
So in order to head off future syzbot reports, let's try to simplify
this code and get rid of the per-cpu profile buffers that are quite a
large portion of the complexity footprint of this thing (including CPU
hotplug callbacks etc).
It's unlikely anybody will actually notice, or possibly, as Thomas put
it: "Only people who indulge in nostalgia will notice :)".
That said, if it turns out that this code is actually actively used by
somebody, we can always revert this removal. Thus the "attempt" in the
summary line.
[ Note: in a small nod to "the profiling code can cause NUMA problems",
this also removes the "increment the last entry in the profiling array
on any unknown hits" logic. That would account any program counter in
a module to that single counter location, and might exacerbate any
NUMA cacheline bouncing issues ]

syzbot is reporting uninit-value at profile_hits(), for there is a race
window between
if (!alloc_cpumask_var(&prof_cpu_mask, GFP_KERNEL))
return -ENOMEM;
cpumask_copy(prof_cpu_mask, cpu_possible_mask);
in profile_init() and
cpumask_available(prof_cpu_mask) &&
cpumask_test_cpu(smp_processor_id(), prof_cpu_mask))
in profile_tick(); prof_cpu_mask remains uninitialzed until cpumask_copy()
completes while cpumask_available(prof_cpu_mask) returns true as soon as
alloc_cpumask_var(&prof_cpu_mask) completes.
We could replace alloc_cpumask_var() with zalloc_cpumask_var() and
call cpumask_copy() from create_proc_profile() on only UP kernels, for
profile_online_cpu() calls cpumask_set_cpu() as needed via
cpuhp_setup_state(CPUHP_AP_ONLINE_DYN) on SMP kernels. But this patch
removes prof_cpu_mask because it seems unnecessary.
The cpumask_test_cpu(smp_processor_id(), prof_cpu_mask) test
in profile_tick() is likely always true due to
a CPU cannot call profile_tick() if that CPU is offline
and
cpumask_set_cpu(cpu, prof_cpu_mask) is called when that CPU becomes
online and cpumask_clear_cpu(cpu, prof_cpu_mask) is called when that
CPU becomes offline
. This test could be false during transition between online and offline.
But according to include/linux/cpuhotplug.h , CPUHP_PROFILE_PREPARE
belongs to PREPARE section, which means that the CPU subjected to
profile_dead_cpu() cannot be inside profile_tick() (i.e. no risk of
use-after-free bug) because interrupt for that CPU is disabled during
PREPARE section. Therefore, this test is guaranteed to be true, and
can be removed. (Since profile_hits() checks prof_buffer != NULL, we
don't need to check prof_buffer != NULL here unless get_irq_regs() or
user_mode() is such slow that we want to avoid when prof_buffer == NULL).
do_profile_hits() is called from profile_tick() from timer interrupt
only if cpumask_test_cpu(smp_processor_id(), prof_cpu_mask) is true and
prof_buffer is not NULL. But syzbot is also reporting that sometimes
do_profile_hits() is called while current thread is still doing vzalloc(),
where prof_buffer must be NULL at this moment. This indicates that multiple
threads concurrently tried to write to /sys/kernel/profiling interface,
which caused that somebody else try to re-allocate prof_buffer despite
somebody has already allocated prof_buffer. Fix this by using
serialization.

This just standardizes the use of MIN() and MAX() macros, with the very
traditional semantics. The goal is to use these for C constant
expressions and for top-level / static initializers, and so be able to
simplify the min()/max() macros.
These macro names were used by various kernel code - they are very
traditional, after all - and all such users have been fixed up, with a
few different approaches:
- trivial duplicated macro definitions have been removed
Note that 'trivial' here means that it's obviously kernel code that
already included all the major kernel headers, and thus gets the new
generic MIN/MAX macros automatically.
- non-trivial duplicated macro definitions are guarded with #ifndef
This is the "yes, they define their own versions, but no, the include
situation is not entirely obvious, and maybe they don't get the
generic version automatically" case.
- strange use case #1
A couple of drivers decided that the way they want to describe their
versioning is with
#define MAJ 1
#define MIN 2
#define DRV_VERSION __stringify(MAJ) "." __stringify(MIN)
which adds zero value and I just did my Alexander the Great
impersonation, and rewrote that pointless Gordian knot as
#define DRV_VERSION "1.2"
instead.
- strange use case #2
A couple of drivers thought that it's a good idea to have a random
'MIN' or 'MAX' define for a value or index into a table, rather than
the traditional macro that takes arguments.
These values were re-written as C enum's instead. The new
function-line macros only expand when followed by an open
parenthesis, and thus don't clash with enum use.
Happily, there weren't really all that many of these cases, and a lot of
users already had the pattern of using '#ifndef' guarding (or in one
case just using '#undef MIN') before defining their own private version
that does the same thing. I left such cases alone.
