* jump_labels: API for flushing deferred jump label updatesDavid Matlack2017-01-121-0/+7
| | | | | | | | | | | | Modules that use static_key_deferred need a way to synchronize with any delayed work that is still pending when the module is unloaded. Introduce static_key_deferred_flush() which flushes any pending jump label updates.

| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Some arches (powerpc at least) would like to invoke jump_label_init() much earlier in boot.

* / jump_label: remove bug.h, atomic.h dependencies for HAVE_JUMP_LABELJason Baron2016-08-041-0/+53
|/ | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | The current jump_label.h includes bug.h for things such as WARN_ON(). This makes the header problematic for inclusion by kernel.h or any headers that kernel.h includes, since bug.h includes kernel.h (circular dependency). The inclusion of atomic.h is similarly problematic. Thus, this should make jump_label.h 'includable' from most places.

* | locking/static_key: Fix concurrent static_key_slow_inc()Paolo Bonzini2016-06-241-3/+33
|/ | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | The following scenario is possible: CPU 1 CPU 2 static_key_slow_inc() atomic_inc_not_zero() -> key.enabled == 0, no increment jump_label_lock() atomic_inc_return() -> key.enabled == 1 now static_key_slow_inc() atomic_inc_not_zero() -> key.enabled == 1, inc to 2 return ** static key is wrong! jump_label_update() jump_label_unlock() Testing the static key at the point marked by (**) will follow the wrong path for jumps that have not been patched yet. This can actually happen when creating many KVM virtual machines with userspace LAPIC emulation; just run several copies of the following program: #include <fcntl.h> #include <unistd.h> #include <sys/ioctl.h> #include <linux/kvm.h> int main(void) { for (;;) { int kvmfd = open("/dev/kvm", O_RDONLY); int vmfd = ioctl(kvmfd, KVM_CREATE_VM, 0); close(ioctl(vmfd, KVM_CREATE_VCPU, 1)); close(vmfd); close(kvmfd); } return 0; } Every KVM_CREATE_VCPU ioctl will attempt a static_key_slow_inc() call. The static key's purpose is to skip NULL pointer checks and indeed one of the processes eventually dereferences NULL. As explained in the commit that introduced the bug: 706249c222f6 ("locking/static_keys: Rework update logic") jump_label_update() needs key.enabled to be true. The solution adopted here is to temporarily make key.enabled == -1, and use go down the slow path when key.enabled <= 0.

* locking/static_keys: Add a new static_key interfacePeter Zijlstra2015-08-031-7/+30
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | There are various problems and short-comings with the current static_key interface: - static_key_{true,false}() read like a branch depending on the key value, instead of the actual likely/unlikely branch depending on init value. - static_key_{true,false}() are, as stated above, tied to the static_key init values STATIC_KEY_INIT_{TRUE,FALSE}. - we're limited to the 2 (out of 4) possible options that compile to a default NOP because that's what our arch_static_branch() assembly emits. So provide a new static_key interface: DEFINE_STATIC_KEY_TRUE(name); DEFINE_STATIC_KEY_FALSE(name); Which define a key of different types with an initial true/false value. Then allow: static_branch_likely() static_branch_unlikely() to take a key of either type and emit the right instruction for the case. This means adding a second arch_static_branch_jump() assembly helper which emits a JMP per default. In order to determine the right instruction for the right state, encode the branch type in the LSB of jump_entry::key. This is the final step in removing the naming confusion that has led to a stream of avoidable bugs such as: a833581e372a ("x86, perf: Fix static_key bug in load_mm_cr4()") ... but it also allows new static key combinations that will give us performance enhancements in the subsequent patches.

* static_key: WARN on usage before jump_label_init was calledHannes Frederic Sowa2013-10-201-0/+5
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Usage of the static key primitives to toggle a branch must not be used before jump_label_init() is called from init/main.c. jump_label_init reorganizes and wires up the jump_entries so usage before that could have unforeseen consequences. Following primitives are now checked for correct use: * static_key_slow_inc * static_key_slow_dec * static_key_slow_dec_deferred * jump_label_rate_limit The x86 architecture already checks this by testing if the default_nop was already replaced with an optimal nop or with a branch instruction. It will panic then. Other architectures don't check for this. Because we need to relax this check for the x86 arch to allow code to transition from default_nop to the enabled state and other architectures did not check for this at all this patch introduces checking on the static_key primitives in a non-arch dependent manner.

* jump_label: Split jumplabel ratelimitAndrew Jones2013-08-091-0/+1
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Commit b202952075f62603bea9bfb6ebc6b0420db11949 ("perf, core: Rate limit perf_sched_events jump_label patching") introduced rate limiting for jump label disabling. The changes were made in the jump label code in order to be more widely available and to keep things tidier. This is all fine, except now jump_label.h includes linux/workqueue.h, which makes it impossible to include jump_label.h from anything that workqueue.h needs. For example, it's now impossible to include jump_label.h from asm/spinlock.h, which is done in proposed pv-ticketlock patches. This patch splits out the rate limiting related changes from jump_label.h into a new file, jump_label_ratelimit.h, to resolve the issue.

* static keys: Inline the static_key_enabled() functionJason Baron2012-02-281-6/+0
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | In the jump label enabled case, calling static_key_enabled() results in a function call. The function returns the results of a compare, so it really doesn't need the overhead of a full function call. Let's make it 'static inline' for both the jump label enabled and disabled cases.

It should also address the various misconceptions and confusions that surround jump labels. Typical usage scenarios: #include <linux/static_key.h> struct static_key key = STATIC_KEY_INIT_TRUE; if (static_key_false(&key)) do unlikely code else do likely code Or: if (static_key_true(&key)) do likely code else do unlikely code The static key is modified via: static_key_slow_inc(&key); ... static_key_slow_dec(&key); The 'slow' prefix makes it abundantly clear that this is an expensive operation. I've updated all in-kernel code to use this everywhere. Note that I (intentionally) have not pushed through the rename blindly through to the lowest levels: the actual jump-label patching arch facility should be named like that, so we want to decouple jump labels from the static-key facility a bit. On non-jump-label enabled architectures static keys default to likely()/unlikely() branches.

The patching of perf_sched_events jump_label is easily controllable from userspace by unprivileged user. When te user runs a loop like this: "while true; do perf stat -e cycles true; done" ... the performance of my test application that just increments a counter for one second drops by 4%. This is on a 16 cpu box with my test application using only one of them. An impact on a real server doing real work will be worse. Performance of KVM PMU drops nearly 50% due to jump_lable for "perf record" since KVM PMU implementation creates and destroys perf event frequently. This patch introduces a way to rate limit jump_label patching and uses it to fix the above problem. I believe that as jump_label use will spread the problem will become more common and thus solving it in a generic code is appropriate. Also fixing it in the perf code would result in moving jump_label accounting logic to perf code with all the ifdefs in case of JUMP_LABEL=n kernel. With this patch all details are nicely hidden inside jump_label code.

The reason is that the end of the for loop depends on the key value of the processed entry. Thus when going through the last array entry, we will touch the memory behind the array limit. This bug probably will never be triggered, since most likely the memory behind the jump_label entries will be accesable and the entry->key will be different than the expected value.

| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Introduce: static __always_inline bool static_branch(struct jump_label_key *key); instead of the old JUMP_LABEL(key, label) macro. In this way, jump labels become really easy to use: Define: struct jump_label_key jump_key; Can be used as: if (static_branch(&jump_key)) do unlikely code enable/disale via: jump_label_inc(&jump_key); jump_label_dec(&jump_key); that's it! For the jump labels disabled case, the static_branch() becomes an atomic_read(), and jump_label_inc()/dec() are simply atomic_inc(), atomic_dec() operations. We show testing results for this change below. Thanks to H. Peter Anvin for suggesting the 'static_branch()' construct. Since we now require a 'struct jump_label_key *key', we can store a pointer into the jump table addresses. In this way, we can enable/disable jump labels, in basically constant time. This change allows us to completely remove the previous hashtable scheme. Thanks to Peter Zijlstra for this re-write.

* jump label: Fix module __init section raceJason Baron2010-10-281-1/+40
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Jump label uses is_module_text_address() to ensure that the module __init sections are valid before updating them. However, between the check for a valid module __init section and the subsequent jump label update, the module's __init section could be freed out from under us. We fix this potential race by adding a notifier callback to the MODULE_STATE_LIVE state. This notifier is called *after* the __init section has been run but before it is going to be freed. In the callback, the jump label code zeros the key value for any __init jump code within the module, and we add a check for a non-zero key value when we update jump labels. In this way we require no additional data structures. Thanks to Mathieu Desnoyers for pointing out this race condition.

base patch to implement 'jump labeling'. Based on a new 'asm goto' inline assembly gcc mechanism, we can now branch to labels from an 'asm goto' statment. This allows us to create a 'no-op' fastpath, which can subsequently be patched with a jump to the slowpath code. This is useful for code which might be rarely used, but which we'd like to be able to call, if needed. Tracepoints are the current usecase that these are being implemented for. Acked-by: David S.
