As part of the dynamic kernel stack project, we need to know the amount of
data that can be saved by reducing the default kernel stack size [1].
Provide a kernel stack usage histogram to aid in optimizing kernel stack
sizes and minimizing memory waste in large-scale environments. The
histogram divides stack usage into power-of-two buckets and reports the
results in /proc/vmstat. This information is especially valuable in
environments with millions of machines, where even small optimizations can
have a significant impact.
The histogram data is presented in /proc/vmstat with entries like
"kstack_1k", "kstack_2k", and so on, indicating the number of threads that
exited with stack usage falling within each respective bucket.
Example outputs:
Intel:
$ grep kstack /proc/vmstat
kstack_1k 3
kstack_2k 188
kstack_4k 11391
kstack_8k 243
kstack_16k 0
ARM with 64K page_size:
$ grep kstack /proc/vmstat
kstack_1k 1
kstack_2k 340
kstack_4k 25212
kstack_8k 1659
kstack_16k 0
kstack_32k 0
kstack_64k 0
Note: once the dynamic kernel stack is implemented it will depend on the
implementation the usability of this feature: On hardware that supports
faults on kernel stacks, we will have other metrics that show the total
number of pages allocated for stacks. On hardware where faults are not
supported, we will most likely have some optimization where only some
threads are extended, and for those, these metrics will still be very
useful.

Pull x86 fixes from Thomas Gleixner:
- x2apic_disable() clears x2apic_state and x2apic_mode unconditionally,
even when the state is X2APIC_ON_LOCKED, which prevents the kernel to
disable it thereby creating inconsistent state.
Reorder the logic so it actually works correctly
- The XSTATE logic for handling LBR is incorrect as it assumes that
XSAVES supports LBR when the CPU supports LBR. In fact both
conditions need to be true. Otherwise the enablement of LBR in the
IA32_XSS MSR fails and subsequently the machine crashes on the next
XRSTORS operation because IA32_XSS is not initialized.
Cache the XSTATE support bit during init and make the related
functions use this cached information and the LBR CPU feature bit to
cure this.
- Cure a long standing bug in KASLR
KASLR uses the full address space between PAGE_OFFSET and vaddr_end
to randomize the starting points of the direct map, vmalloc and
vmemmap regions. It thereby limits the size of the direct map by
using the installed memory size plus an extra configurable margin for
hot-plug memory. This limitation is done to gain more randomization
space because otherwise only the holes between the direct map,
vmalloc, vmemmap and vaddr_end would be usable for randomizing.
The limited direct map size is not exposed to the rest of the kernel,
so the memory hot-plug and resource management related code paths
still operate under the assumption that the available address space
can be determined with MAX_PHYSMEM_BITS.
request_free_mem_region() allocates from (1 << MAX_PHYSMEM_BITS) - 1
downwards. That means the first allocation happens past the end of
the direct map and if unlucky this address is in the vmalloc space,
which causes high_memory to become greater than VMALLOC_START and
consequently causes iounmap() to fail for valid ioremap addresses.
Cure this by exposing the end of the direct map via PHYSMEM_END and
use that for the memory hot-plug and resource management related
places instead of relying on MAX_PHYSMEM_BITS. In the KASLR case
PHYSMEM_END maps to a variable which is initialized by the KASLR
initialization and otherwise it is based on MAX_PHYSMEM_BITS as
before.
- Prevent a data leak in mmio_read(). The TDVMCALL exposes the value of
an initialized variabled on the stack to the VMM. The variable is
only required as output value, so it does not have to exposed to the
VMM in the first place.
- Prevent an array overrun in the resource control code on systems with
Sub-NUMA Clustering enabled because the code failed to adjust the
index by the number of SNC nodes per L3 cache.

Since 3cf78c5d01 ("sched_ext: Unpin and repin rq lock from
balance_scx()"), sched_ext's balance path terminates rq_pin in the outermost
function. This is simpler and in line with what other balance functions are
doing but it loses control over rq->clock_update_flags which makes
assert_clock_udpated() trigger if other CPUs pins the rq lock.
The only place this matters is touch_core_sched() which uses the timestamp
to order tasks from sibling rq's. Switch to sched_clock_cpu(). Later, it may
be better to use per-core dispatch sequence number.

When deciding whether a task can be migrated to a CPU,
dispatch_to_local_dsq() was open-coding p->cpus_allowed and scx_rq_online()
tests instead of using task_can_run_on_remote_rq(). This had two problems.
- It was missing is_migration_disabled() check and thus could try to migrate
a task which shouldn't leading to assertion and scheduling failures.
- It was testing p->cpus_ptr directly instead of using task_allowed_on_cpu()
and thus failed to consider ISA compatibility.
Update dispatch_to_local_dsq() to use task_can_run_on_remote_rq():
- Move scx_ops_error() triggering into task_can_run_on_remote_rq().
- When migration isn't allowed, fall back to the global DSQ instead of the
source DSQ by returning DTL_INVALID. This is both simpler and an overall
better behavior.

With the "isolcpus" boot command line parameter, we are able to
create isolated CPUs at boot time. These isolated CPUs aren't fully
accounted for in the cpuset code. For instance, the root cgroup's
"cpuset.cpus.isolated" control file does not include the boot time
isolated CPUs. Fix that by looking for pre-isolated CPUs at init time.
The prstate_housekeeping_conflict() function does check the
HK_TYPE_DOMAIN housekeeping cpumask to make sure that CPUs outside of it
can only be used in isolated partition. Given the fact that we are going
to make housekeeping cpumasks dynamic, the current check may not be right
anymore. Save the boot time HK_TYPE_DOMAIN cpumask and check against
it instead of the upcoming dynamic HK_TYPE_DOMAIN housekeeping cpumask.

According to the documentation, when building a kernel with the C=2
parameter, all source files should be checked. But this does not happen
for the kernel/bpf/ directory.
$ touch kernel/bpf/core.o
$ make C=2 CHECK=true kernel/bpf/core.o
Outputs:
CHECK scripts/mod/empty.c
CALL scripts/checksyscalls.sh
DESCEND objtool
INSTALL libsubcmd_headers
CC kernel/bpf/core.o
As can be seen the compilation is done, but CHECK is not executed. This
happens because kernel/bpf/Makefile has defined its own rule for
compilation and forgotten the macro that does the check.
There is no need to duplicate the build code, and this rule can be
removed to use generic rules.

Currently we cannot pass the pointer returned by iter next method as
argument to KF_TRUSTED_ARGS or KF_RCU kfuncs, because the pointer
returned by iter next method is not "valid".
This patch sets the pointer returned by iter next method to be valid.
This is based on the fact that if the iterator is implemented correctly,
then the pointer returned from the iter next method should be valid.
This does not make NULL pointer valid. If the iter next method has
KF_RET_NULL flag, then the verifier will ask the ebpf program to
check NULL pointer.
KF_RCU_PROTECTED iterator is a special case, the pointer returned by
iter next method should only be valid within RCU critical section,
so it should be with MEM_RCU, not PTR_TRUSTED.
Another special case is bpf_iter_num_next, which returns a pointer with
base type PTR_TO_MEM. PTR_TO_MEM should not be combined with type flag
PTR_TRUSTED (PTR_TO_MEM already means the pointer is valid).
The pointer returned by iter next method of other types of iterators
is with PTR_TRUSTED.
In addition, this patch adds get_iter_from_state to help us get the
current iterator from the current state.

This patch adds a .gen_epilogue to the bpf_verifier_ops. It is similar
to the existing .gen_prologue. Instead of allowing a subsystem
to run code at the beginning of a bpf prog, it allows the subsystem
to run code just before the bpf prog exit.
One of the use case is to allow the upcoming bpf qdisc to ensure that
the skb->dev is the same as the qdisc->dev_queue->dev. The bpf qdisc
struct_ops implementation could either fix it up or drop the skb.
Another use case could be in bpf_tcp_ca.c to enforce snd_cwnd
has sane value (e.g. non zero).
The epilogue can do the useful thing (like checking skb->dev) if it
can access the bpf prog's ctx. Unlike prologue, r1 may not hold the
ctx pointer. This patch saves the r1 in the stack if the .gen_epilogue
has returned some instructions in the "epilogue_buf".
The existing .gen_prologue is done in convert_ctx_accesses().
The new .gen_epilogue is done in the convert_ctx_accesses() also.
When it sees the (BPF_JMP | BPF_EXIT) instruction, it will be patched
with the earlier generated "epilogue_buf". The epilogue patching is
only done for the main prog.
Only one epilogue will be patched to the main program. When the
bpf prog has multiple BPF_EXIT instructions, a BPF_JA is used
to goto the earlier patched epilogue. Majority of the archs
support (BPF_JMP32 | BPF_JA): x86, arm, s390, risv64, loongarch,
powerpc and arc. This patch keeps it simple and always
use (BPF_JMP32 | BPF_JA). A new macro BPF_JMP32_A is added to
generate the (BPF_JMP32 | BPF_JA) insn.

The next patch will add a ctx ptr saving instruction
"(r1 = *(u64 *)(r10 -8)" at the beginning for the main prog
when there is an epilogue patch (by the .gen_epilogue() verifier
ops added in the next patch).
There is one corner case if the bpf prog has a BPF_JMP that jumps
to the 1st instruction. It needs an adjustment such that
those BPF_JMP instructions won't jump to the newly added
ctx saving instruction.
The commit 5337ac4c9b ("bpf: Fix the corner case with may_goto and jump to the 1st insn.")
has the details on this case.
Note that the jump back to 1st instruction is not limited to the
ctx ptr saving instruction. The same also applies to the prologue.
A later test, pro_epilogue_goto_start.c, has a test for the prologue
only case.
Thus, this patch does one adjustment after gen_prologue and
the future ctx ptr saving. It is done by
adjust_jmp_off(env->prog, 0, delta) where delta has the total
number of instructions in the prologue and
the future ctx ptr saving instruction.
The adjust_jmp_off(env->prog, 0, delta) assumes that the
prologue does not have a goto 1st instruction itself.
To accommodate the prologue might have a goto 1st insn itself,
this patch changes the adjust_jmp_off() to skip considering
the instructions between [tgt_idx, tgt_idx + delta).

task_pid_nr() returns the current thread id (user-space's TID), while
task_tgid_nr() returns the main thread id (user-space's PID). Since
the users are more interested in the process id (pid), rather than the
thread id (tid), this patch converts these callers to the correct method.

Kunkun Jiang reports that for a workload involving the simultaneous startup
of a large number of VMs (for a total of about 200 vcpus), a lot of CPU
time gets spent on spinning on the tmp_mask_lock that exists as a static
raw spinlock in irq_do_set_affinity(). This lock protects a global cpumask
(tmp_mask) that is used as a temporary variable to compute the resulting
affinity.
While this is triggered by KVM issuing a irq_set_affinity() call each time
a vcpu is about to execute, it is obvious that having a single global
resource is not very scalable.
Since a cpumask can be a fairly large structure on systems with a high core
count, a stack allocation is not really appropriate. Instead, turn the
global cpumask into a per-CPU variable, removing the need for locking
altogether as the code is executed with preemption and interrupts disabled.

Pull vfs fixes from Christian Brauner:
"VFS:
- Ensure that backing files uses file->f_ops->splice_write() for
splice
netfs:
- Revert the removal of PG_private_2 from netfs_release_folio() as
cephfs still relies on this
- When AS_RELEASE_ALWAYS is set on a mapping the folio needs to
always be invalidated during truncation
- Fix losing untruncated data in a folio by making letting
netfs_release_folio() return false if the folio is dirty
- Fix trimming of streaming-write folios in netfs_inval_folio()
- Reset iterator before retrying a short read
- Fix interaction of streaming writes with zero-point tracker
afs:
- During truncation afs currently calls truncate_setsize() which sets
i_size, expands the pagecache and truncates it. The first two
operations aren't needed because they will have already been done.
So call truncate_pagecache() instead and skip the redundant parts
overlayfs:
- Fix checking of the number of allowed lower layers so 500 layers
can actually be used instead of just 499
- Add missing '\n' to pr_err() output
- Pass string to ovl_parse_layer() and thus allow it to be used for
Opt_lowerdir as well
pidfd:
- Revert blocking the creation of pidfds for kthread as apparently
userspace relies on this. Specifically, it breaks systemd during
shutdown
romfs:
- Fix romfs_read_folio() to use the correct offset with
folio_zero_tail()"

netfs, ceph: Partially revert "netfs: Replace PG_fscache by setting folio->private and marking dirty"
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.
