In emergency situations (something has gone wrong but the
system continues to operate), usually important information
(such as a backtrace) is generated via printk(). This
information should be pushed out to the consoles ASAP.
Add per-CPU emergency nesting tracking because an emergency
can arise while in an emergency situation.
Add functions to mark the beginning and end of emergency
sections where the urgent messages are generated.
Perform direct console flushing at the emergency priority if
the current CPU is in an emergency state and it is safe to do
so.
Note that the emergency state is not system-wide. While one CPU
is in an emergency state, another CPU may attempt to print
console messages at normal priority.
Also note that printk() already attempts to flush consoles in
the caller context for normal priority. However, follow-up
changes will introduce printing kthreads, in which case the
normal priority printk() calls will offload to the kthreads.

There are many call sites where console flushing occur.
Depending on the system state and types of consoles, the flush
methods to use are different. A flush call site generally must
consider:
@have_boot_console
@have_nbcon_console
@have_legacy_console
@legacy_allow_panic_sync
is_printk_preferred()
and take into account the current CPU state:
NBCON_PRIO_NORMAL
NBCON_PRIO_EMERGENCY
NBCON_PRIO_PANIC
in order to decide if it should:
flush nbcon directly via atomic_write() callback
flush legacy directly via console_unlock
flush legacy via offload to irq_work
All of these call sites use their own logic to make this
decision, which is complicated and error prone. Especially
later when two more flush methods will be introduced:
flush nbcon via offload to kthread
flush legacy via offload to kthread
Introduce a new internal struct console_flush_type that specifies
which console flushing methods should be used in the context of
the caller.
Introduce a helper function to fill out console_flush_type to
be used for flushing call sites.
Replace the logic of all flushing call sites to use the new
helper.
This change standardizes behavior, leading to both fixes and
optimizations across various call sites. For instance, in
console_cpu_notify(), the new logic ensures that nbcon consoles
are flushed when they aren’t managed by the legacy loop.
Similarly, in console_flush_on_panic(), the system no longer
needs to flush nbcon consoles if none are present.

If legacy and nbcon consoles are registered and the nbcon
consoles are allowed to flush (i.e. no boot consoles
registered), the legacy consoles will no longer perform
direct printing on the panic CPU until after the backtrace
has been stored. This will give the safe nbcon consoles a
chance to print the panic messages before allowing the
unsafe legacy consoles to print.
If no nbcon consoles are registered or they are not allowed
to flush because boot consoles are registered, there is no
change in behavior (i.e. legacy consoles will always attempt
to print from the printk() caller context).

Note that legacy consoles use unsafe methods for flushing

Allow nbcon consoles to print messages in the legacy printk()
caller context (printing via unlock) by integrating them into
console_flush_all(). The write_atomic() callback is used for
printing.
Provide nbcon_legacy_emit_next_record(), which acts as the
nbcon variant of console_emit_next_record(). Call this variant
within console_flush_all() for nbcon consoles. Since nbcon
consoles use their own @nbcon_seq variable to track the next
record to print, this also must be appropriately handled in
console_flush_all().
Note that the legacy printing logic uses @handover to detect
handovers for printing all consoles. For nbcon consoles,
handovers/takeovers occur on a per-console basis and thus do
not cause the console_flush_all() loop to abort.

Unfortunately it is not known if a boot console and a regular
(legacy or nbcon) console use the same hardware. For this reason
they must not be allowed to print simultaneously.
For legacy consoles this is not an issue because they are
already synchronized with the boot consoles using the console
lock. However nbcon consoles can be triggered separately.
Add a global flag @have_boot_console to identify if any boot
consoles are registered. This will be used in follow-up commits

Provide nbcon_atomic_flush_pending() to perform flushing of all
registered nbcon consoles using their write_atomic() callback.
Unlike console_flush_all(), nbcon_atomic_flush_pending() will
only flush up through the newest record at the time of the
call. This prevents a CPU from printing unbounded when other
CPUs are adding records. If new records are added while
flushing, it is expected that the dedicated printer threads
will print those records. If the printer thread is not
available (which is always the case at this point in the
rework), nbcon_atomic_flush_pending() _will_ flush all records
in the ringbuffer.
Unlike console_flush_all(), nbcon_atomic_flush_pending() will
fully flush one console before flushing the next. This helps to
guarantee that a block of pending records (such as a stack
trace in an emergency situation) can be printed atomically at
once before releasing console ownership.
nbcon_atomic_flush_pending() is safe in any context because it
uses write_atomic() and acquires with unsafe_takeover disabled.

Provide functions nbcon_device_try_acquire() and

console ownership with NBCON_PRIO_NORMAL and mark it unsafe for
handover/takeover.
These functions are to be used together with the device-specific
locking when performing non-printing activities on the console
device. They will allow synchronization against the
atomic_write() callback which will be serialized, for higher
priority contexts, only by acquiring the console context
ownership.
Pitfalls:
The API requires to be called in a context with migration
disabled because it uses per-CPU variables internally.
The context is set unsafe for a takeover all the time. It
guarantees full serialization against any atomic_write() caller
except for the final flush in panic() which might try an unsafe
takeover.

Console drivers typically have to deal with access to the
hardware via user input/output (such as an interactive login
shell) and output of kernel messages via printk() calls.
They use some classic driver-specific locking mechanism in most
situations. But console->write_atomic() callbacks, used by nbcon
consoles, are synchronized only by acquiring the console
context.
The synchronization via the console context ownership is possible
only when the console driver is registered. It is when a
particular device driver is connected with a particular console
driver.
The two synchronization mechanisms must be synchronized between
each other. It is tricky because the console context ownership
is quite special. It might be taken over by a higher priority
context. Also CPU migration must be disabled. The most tricky
part is to (dis)connect these two mechanisms during the console
(un)registration.
Use the driver-specific locking callbacks: device_lock(),
device_unlock(). They allow taking the device-specific lock
while the device is being (un)registered by the related console
driver.
For example, these callbacks lock/unlock the port lock for
serial port drivers.
Note that the driver-specific locking is only needed during
(un)register if it is an nbcon console with the write_atomic()
callback implemented. If write_atomic() is not implemented, the
driver should never attempt to access the hardware without
first acquiring its driver-specific lock.

information. On the contrary, it makes things more complicated
for the caller to appropriately deal with the information.
Change write_atomic() to not have a return value. If the
message did not get printed due to loss of ownership, the
caller will notice this on its own. If ownership was not lost,
it will be assumed that the driver successfully printed the
message and the sequence number for that console will be

If a non-boot console is registering and boot consoles exist,
the consoles are flushed before being unregistered. This allows
the non-boot console to continue where the boot console left
off.
If for whatever reason flushing fails, the lowest seq found from
any of the enabled boot consoles is used. Until now con->seq was
checked. However, if it is an nbcon boot console, the function
nbcon_seq_read() must be used to read seq because con->seq is
not updated for nbcon consoles.
Check if it is an nbcon boot console and if so call
nbcon_seq_read() to read seq.
Also, avoid usage of con->seq as temporary storage of the
starting record. Instead, rename console_init_seq() to
get_init_console_seq() and just return the value. For nbcon
consoles set the sequence via nbcon_seq_force(), for legacy
consoles set con->seq.
The cleaned design should make sure that the value stays and is
set before the console is added to the console list. It also
unifies the sequence number initialization for legacy and nbcon
consoles.

The regressing commit is new in 6.10. It assumed that anytime event->prog
is set bpf_overflow_handler() should be invoked to execute the attached bpf
program. This assumption is false for tracing events, and as a result the
regressing commit broke bpftrace by invoking the bpf handler with garbage
inputs on overflow.
Prior to the regression the overflow handlers formed a chain (of length 0,
1, or 2) and perf_event_set_bpf_handler() (the !tracing case) added
bpf_overflow_handler() to that chain, while perf_event_attach_bpf_prog()
(the tracing case) did not. Both set event->prog. The chain of overflow
handlers was replaced by a single overflow handler slot and a fixed call to
bpf_overflow_handler() when appropriate. This modifies the condition there
to check event->prog->type == BPF_PROG_TYPE_PERF_EVENT, restoring the
previous behavior and fixing bpftrace.

commit 779dbc2e78 ("printk: Avoid non-panic CPUs writing
to ringbuffer") disabled non-panic CPUs to further write messages to
ringbuffer after panicked.
Since the commit, non-panicked CPU's are not allowed to write to
ring buffer after panicked and CPU backtrace which is triggered
after panicked to sample non-panicked CPUs' backtrace no longer
serves its function as it has nothing to print.
Fix the issue by allowing non-panicked CPUs to write into ringbuffer
while CPU backtrace is in flight.

Daniel Hodges reported a kernel verifier crash when playing with sched-ext.
Further investigation shows that the crash is due to invalid memory access
in stacksafe(). More specifically, it is the following code:
if (exact != NOT_EXACT &&
old->stack[spi].slot_type[i % BPF_REG_SIZE] !=
cur->stack[spi].slot_type[i % BPF_REG_SIZE])
return false;
The 'i' iterates old->allocated_stack.
If cur->allocated_stack < old->allocated_stack the out-of-bound
access will happen.
To fix the issue add 'i >= cur->allocated_stack' check such that if
the condition is true, stacksafe() should fail. Otherwise,
cur->stack[spi].slot_type[i % BPF_REG_SIZE] memory access is legal.

If a core is offline then enabling SMT should not online CPUs of
this core. By enabling SMT, what is intended is either changing the SMT
value from "off" to "on" or setting the SMT level (threads per core) from a
lower to higher value.
On PowerPC the ppc64_cpu utility can be used, among other things, to
perform the following functions:
ppc64_cpu --cores-on # Get the number of online cores
ppc64_cpu --cores-on=X # Put exactly X cores online
ppc64_cpu --offline-cores=X[,Y,...] # Put specified cores offline
ppc64_cpu --smt={on|off|value} # Enable, disable or change SMT level
If the user has decided to offline certain cores, enabling SMT should
not online CPUs in those cores. This patch fixes the issue and changes
the behaviour as described, by introducing an arch specific function
topology_is_core_online(). It is currently implemented only for PowerPC.

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.

# dd if=per_cpu/cpu0/trace_pipe_raw of=/tmp/raw0.dat
The dd task would get stuck in an infinite loop in the kernel. What would
happen is the following:
When ring_buffer_read_page() returns -1 (no data) then a check is made to
see if the buffer is empty (as happens when the page is not full), it will
call wait_on_pipe() to wait until the ring buffer has data. When it is it
will try again to read data (unless O_NONBLOCK is set).
The issue happens when there's a reader and the file descriptor is closed.
The wait_on_pipe() will return when that is the case. But this loop will
continue to try again and wait_on_pipe() will again return immediately and
the loop will continue and never stop.
Simply check if the file was closed before looping and exit out if it is.

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.

Looking at the padata_mt_helper() function, the only way a divide-by-0
panic can happen is when ps->chunk_size is 0. The way that chunk_size is
initialized in padata_do_multithreaded(), chunk_size can be 0 when the

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.
