arm64: select TRACE_IRQFLAGS_NMI_SUPPORT
Due to an oversight, on arm64 lockdep IRQ state tracking doesn't work as intended in NMI context. This demonstrably results in bogus warnings from lockdep, and in theory could mask a variety of issues. On arm64, we've consistently tracked IRQ flag state for NMIs (and saved/restored the state of the interrupted context) since commit: f0cd5ac1e4c53cb6 ("arm64: entry: fix NMI {user, kernel}->kernel transitions") That commit fixed most lockdep issues with NMI by virtue of the save/restore of the lockdep state of the interrupted context. However, for lockdep IRQ state tracking to consistently take effect in NMI context it has been necessary to select TRACE_IRQFLAGS_NMI_SUPPORT since commit: ed00495333ccc80f ("locking/lockdep: Fix TRACE_IRQFLAGS vs. NMIs") As arm64 does not select TRACE_IRQFLAGS_NMI_SUPPORT, this means that the lockdep state can be stale in NMI context, and some uses of that state can consume stale data. When an NMI is taken arm64 entry code will call arm64_enter_nmi(). This will enter NMI context via __nmi_enter() before calling lockdep_hardirqs_off() to inform lockdep that IRQs have been masked. Where TRACE_IRQFLAGS_NMI_SUPPORT is not selected, lockdep_hardirqs_off() will not update lockdep state if called in NMI context. Thus if IRQs were enabled in the original context, lockdep will continue to believe that IRQs are enabled despite the call to lockdep_hardirqs_off(). However, the lockdep_assert_*() checks do take effect in NMI context, and will consume the stale lockdep state. If an NMI is taken from a context which had IRQs enabled, and during the handling of the NMI something calls lockdep_assert_irqs_disabled(), this will result in a spurious warning based upon the stale lockdep state. This can be seen when using perf with GICv3 pseudo-NMIs. Within the perf NMI handler we may attempt a uaccess to record the userspace callchain, and is this faults the el1_abort() call in the nested context will call exit_to_kernel_mode() when returning, which has a lockdep_assert_irqs_disabled() assertion: | # ./perf record -a -g sh | ------------[ cut here ]------------ | WARNING: CPU: 0 PID: 164 at arch/arm64/kernel/entry-common.c:73 exit_to_kernel_mode+0x118/0x1ac | Modules linked in: | CPU: 0 PID: 164 Comm: perf Not tainted 5.18.0-rc5 #1 | Hardware name: linux,dummy-virt (DT) | pstate: 004003c5 (nzcv DAIF +PAN -UAO -TCO -DIT -SSBS BTYPE=--) | pc : exit_to_kernel_mode+0x118/0x1ac | lr : el1_abort+0x80/0xbc | sp : ffff8000080039f0 | pmr_save: 000000f0 | x29: ffff8000080039f0 x28: ffff6831054e4980 x27: ffff683103adb400 | x26: 0000000000000000 x25: 0000000000000001 x24: 0000000000000001 | x23: 00000000804000c5 x22: 00000000000000c0 x21: 0000000000000001 | x20: ffffbd51e635ec44 x19: ffff800008003a60 x18: 0000000000000000 | x17: ffffaadf98d23000 x16: ffff800008004000 x15: 0000ffffd14f25c0 | x14: 0000000000000000 x13: 00000000000018eb x12: 0000000000000040 | x11: 000000000000001e x10: 000000002b820020 x9 : 0000000100110000 | x8 : 000000000045cac0 x7 : 0000ffffd14f25c0 x6 : ffffbd51e639b000 | x5 : 00000000000003e5 x4 : ffffbd51e58543b0 x3 : 0000000000000001 | x2 : ffffaadf98d23000 x1 : ffff6831054e4980 x0 : 0000000100110000 | Call trace: | exit_to_kernel_mode+0x118/0x1ac | el1_abort+0x80/0xbc | el1h_64_sync_handler+0xa4/0xd0 | el1h_64_sync+0x74/0x78 | __arch_copy_from_user+0xa4/0x230 | get_perf_callchain+0x134/0x1e4 | perf_callchain+0x7c/0xa0 | perf_prepare_sample+0x414/0x660 | perf_event_output_forward+0x80/0x180 | __perf_event_overflow+0x70/0x13c | perf_event_overflow+0x1c/0x30 | armv8pmu_handle_irq+0xe8/0x160 | armpmu_dispatch_irq+0x2c/0x70 | handle_percpu_devid_fasteoi_nmi+0x7c/0xbc | generic_handle_domain_nmi+0x3c/0x60 | gic_handle_irq+0x1dc/0x310 | call_on_irq_stack+0x2c/0x54 | do_interrupt_handler+0x80/0x94 | el1_interrupt+0xb0/0xe4 | el1h_64_irq_handler+0x18/0x24 | el1h_64_irq+0x74/0x78 | lockdep_hardirqs_off+0x50/0x120 | trace_hardirqs_off+0x38/0x214 | _raw_spin_lock_irq+0x98/0xa0 | pipe_read+0x1f8/0x404 | new_sync_read+0x140/0x150 | vfs_read+0x190/0x1dc | ksys_read+0xdc/0xfc | __arm64_sys_read+0x20/0x30 | invoke_syscall+0x48/0x114 | el0_svc_common.constprop.0+0x158/0x17c | do_el0_svc+0x28/0x90 | el0_svc+0x60/0x150 | el0t_64_sync_handler+0xa4/0x130 | el0t_64_sync+0x19c/0x1a0 | irq event stamp: 483 | hardirqs last enabled at (483): [<ffffbd51e636aa24>] _raw_spin_unlock_irqrestore+0xa4/0xb0 | hardirqs last disabled at (482): [<ffffbd51e636acd0>] _raw_spin_lock_irqsave+0xb0/0xb4 | softirqs last enabled at (468): [<ffffbd51e5216f58>] put_cpu_fpsimd_context+0x28/0x70 | softirqs last disabled at (466): [<ffffbd51e5216ed4>] get_cpu_fpsimd_context+0x0/0x5c | ---[ end trace 0000000000000000 ]--- Note that as lockdep_assert_irqs_disabled() uses WARN_ON_ONCE(), and this uses a BRK, the warning is logged with the real PSTATE at the time of the warning, which clearly has DAIF.I set, meaning IRQs (and pseudo-NMIs) were definitely masked and the warning is spurious. Fix this by selecting TRACE_IRQFLAGS_NMI_SUPPORT such that the existing entry tracking takes effect, as we had originally intended when the arm64 entry code was fixed for transitions to/from NMI. Arguably the lockdep_assert_*() functions should have the same NMI checks as the rest of the code to prevent spurious warnings when TRACE_IRQFLAGS_NMI_SUPPORT is not selected, but the real fix for any architecture is to explicitly handle the transitions to/from NMI in the entry code.
