* profiling: remove profile=sleep supportTetsuo Handa2024-08-041-10/+1
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | The kernel sleep profile is no longer working due to a recursive locking bug introduced by commit 42a20f86dc19 ("sched: Add wrapper for get_wchan() to keep task blocked") Booting with the 'profile=sleep' kernel command line option added or executing # echo -n sleep > /sys/kernel/profiling after boot causes the system to lock up.

* profiling: attempt to remove per-cpu profile flip bufferLinus Torvalds2024-07-291-181/+2
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | 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 ] Link: https://lore.kernel.org/all/CAHk-=wgs52BxT4Zjmjz8aNvHWKxf5_ThBY4bYL1Y6CTaNL2dTw@mail.gmail.com/ Link: https://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/tglx/history.git [1] Cc: Thomas Gleixner <tglx@linutronix.de> Cc: Tetsuo Handa <penguin-kernel@i-love.sakura.ne.jp> Signed-off-by: Linus Torvalds <torvalds@linux-foundation.org>
* profiling: remove prof_cpu_maskTetsuo Handa2024-07-291-40/+6
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | 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.

* profile: setup_profiling_timer() is moslty not implementedBen Dooks2022-07-301-2/+6
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | The setup_profiling_timer() is mostly un-implemented by many architectures. In many places it isn't guarded by CONFIG_PROFILE which is needed for it to be used. Make it a weak symbol in kernel/profile.c and remove the 'return -EINVAL' implementations from the kenrel. There are a couple of architectures which do return 0 from the setup_profiling_timer() function but they don't seem to do anything else with it. To keep the /proc compatibility for now, leave these for a future update or removal. On ARM, this fixes the following sparse warning: arch/arm/kernel/smp.c:793:5: warning: symbol 'setup_profiling_timer' was not declared. Should it be static?

* profiling: fix shift too large makes kernel panicChen Zhongjin2022-06-171-0/+7
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | 2d186afd04d6 ("profiling: fix shift-out-of-bounds bugs") limits shift value by [0, BITS_PER_LONG -1], which means [0, 63]. However, syzbot found that the max shift value should be the bit number of (_etext - _stext). If shift is outside of this, the "buffer_bytes" will be zero and will cause kzalloc(0). Then the kernel panics due to dereferencing the returned pointer 16. This can be easily reproduced by passing a large number like 60 to enable profiling and then run readprofile.

* profiling: fix shift-out-of-bounds bugsPavel Skripkin2021-09-081-10/+11
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Syzbot reported shift-out-of-bounds bug in profile_init(). The problem was in incorrect prof_shift. Since prof_shift value comes from userspace we need to clamp this value into [0, BITS_PER_LONG -1] boundaries. Second possible shiht-out-of-bounds was found by Tetsuo: sample_step local variable in read_profile() had "unsigned int" type, but prof_shift allows to make a BITS_PER_LONG shift. So, to prevent possible shiht-out-of-bounds sample_step type was changed to "unsigned long". Also, "unsigned short int" will be sufficient for storing [0, BITS_PER_LONG] value, that's why there is no need for "unsigned long" prof_shift.

* sched/debug: Make schedstats a runtime tunable that is disabled by defaultMel Gorman2016-02-091-0/+1
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | schedstats is very useful during debugging and performance tuning but it incurs overhead to calculate the stats. As such, even though it can be disabled at build time, it is often enabled as the information is useful. This patch adds a kernel command-line and sysctl tunable to enable or disable schedstats on demand (when it's built in). It is disabled by default as someone who knows they need it can also learn to enable it when necessary. The benefits are dependent on how scheduler-intensive the workload is. If it is then the patch reduces the number of cycles spent calculating the stats with a small benefit from reducing the cache footprint of the scheduler. These measurements were taken from a 48-core 2-socket machine with Xeon(R) E5-2670 v3 cpus although they were also tested on a single socket machine 8-core machine with Intel i7-3770 processors. netperf-tcp 4.5.0-rc1 4.5.0-rc1 vanilla nostats-v3r1 Hmean 64 560.45 ( 0.00%) 575.98 ( 2.77%) Hmean 128 766.66 ( 0.00%) 795.79 ( 3.80%) Hmean 256 950.51 ( 0.00%) 981.50 ( 3.26%) Hmean 1024 1433.25 ( 0.00%) 1466.51 ( 2.32%) Hmean 2048 2810.54 ( 0.00%) 2879.75 ( 2.46%) Hmean 3312 4618.18 ( 0.00%) 4682.09 ( 1.38%) Hmean 4096 5306.42 ( 0.00%) 5346.39 ( 0.75%) Hmean 8192 10581.44 ( 0.00%) 10698.15 ( 1.10%) Hmean 16384 18857.70 ( 0.00%) 18937.61 ( 0.42%) Small gains here, UDP_STREAM showed nothing intresting and neither did the TCP_RR tests.

The gain is small but it stands to reason that doing less work in the scheduler is a good thing. The downside is that the lack of schedstats and tracepoints may be surprising to experts doing performance analysis until they find the existence of the schedstats= parameter or schedstats sysctl. It will be automatically activated for latencytop and sleep profiling to alleviate the problem. For tracepoints, there is a simple warning as it's not safe to activate schedstats in the context when it's known the tracepoint may be wanted but is unavailable.

* mm: rename alloc_pages_exact_node() to __alloc_pages_node()Vlastimil Babka2015-09-091-4/+4
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | alloc_pages_exact_node() was introduced in commit 6484eb3e2a81 ("page allocator: do not check NUMA node ID when the caller knows the node is valid") as an optimized variant of alloc_pages_node(), that doesn't fallback to current node for nid == NUMA_NO_NODE. Unfortunately the name of the function can easily suggest that the allocation is restricted to the given node and fails otherwise. In truth, the node is only preferred, unless __GFP_THISNODE is passed among the gfp flags. The misleading name has lead to mistakes in the past, see for example commits 5265047ac301 ("mm, thp: really limit transparent hugepage allocation to local node") and b360edb43f8e ("mm, mempolicy: migrate_to_node should only migrate to node"). Another issue with the name is that there's a family of alloc_pages_exact*() functions where 'exact' means exact size (instead of page order), which leads to more confusion. To prevent further mistakes, this patch effectively renames alloc_pages_exact_node() to __alloc_pages_node() to better convey that it's an optimized variant of alloc_pages_node() not intended for general usage. Both functions get described in comments. It has been also considered to really provide a convenience function for allocations restricted to a node, but the major opinion seems to be that __GFP_THISNODE already provides that functionality and we shouldn't duplicate the API needlessly. The number of users would be small anyway. Existing callers of alloc_pages_exact_node() are simply converted to call __alloc_pages_node(), with the exception of sba_alloc_coherent() which open-codes the check for NUMA_NO_NODE, so it is converted to use alloc_pages_node() instead. This means it no longer performs some VM_BUG_ON checks, and since the current check for nid in alloc_pages_node() uses a 'nid < 0' comparison (which includes NUMA_NO_NODE), it may hide wrong values which would be previously exposed. Both differences will be rectified by the next patch. To sum up, this patch makes no functional changes, except temporarily hiding potentially buggy callers. Restricting the checks in alloc_pages_node() is left for the next patch which can in turn expose more existing buggy callers.

* | kernel: audit/fix non-modular users of module_init in core codePaul Gortmaker2014-04-041-1/+1
|/ | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Code that is obj-y (always built-in) or dependent on a bool Kconfig (built-in or absent) can never be modular. So using module_init as an alias for __initcall can be somewhat misleading. Fix these up now, so that we can relocate module_init from init.h into module.h in the future. If we don't do this, we'd have to add module.h to obviously non-modular code, and that would be a worse thing. The audit targets the following module_init users for change: kernel/user.c obj-y kernel/kexec.c bool KEXEC (one instance per arch) kernel/profile.c bool PROFILING kernel/hung_task.c bool DETECT_HUNG_TASK kernel/sched/stats.c bool SCHEDSTATS kernel/user_namespace.c bool USER_NS Note that direct use of __initcall is discouraged, vs. one of the priority categorized subgroups. As __initcall gets mapped onto device_initcall, our use of subsys_initcall (which makes sense for these files) will thus change this registration from level 6-device to level 4-subsys (i.e. slightly earlier). However no observable impact of that difference has been observed during testing. Also, two instances of missing ";" at EOL are fixed in kexec.

* mm: fix GFP_THISNODE callers and clarifyJohannes Weiner2014-03-111-2/+2
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | GFP_THISNODE is for callers that implement their own clever fallback to remote nodes. It restricts the allocation to the specified node and does not invoke reclaim, assuming that the caller will take care of it when the fallback fails, e.g. through a subsequent allocation request without GFP_THISNODE set. However, many current GFP_THISNODE users only want the node exclusive aspect of the flag, without actually implementing their own fallback or triggering reclaim if necessary. This results in things like page migration failing prematurely even when there is easily reclaimable memory available, unless kswapd happens to be running already or a concurrent allocation attempt triggers the necessary reclaim. Convert all callsites that don't implement their own fallback strategy to __GFP_THISNODE. This restricts the allocation a single node too, but at the same time allows the allocator to enter the slowpath, wake kswapd, and invoke direct reclaim if necessary, to make the allocation happen when memory is full.

* kernel: delete __cpuinit usage from all core kernel filesPaul Gortmaker2013-07-151-1/+1
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | The __cpuinit type of throwaway sections might have made sense some time ago when RAM was more constrained, but now the savings do not offset the cost and complications. For example, the fix in commit 5e427ec2d0 ("x86: Fix bit corruption at CPU resume time") is a good example of the nasty type of bugs that can be created with improper use of the various __init prefixes. After a discussion on LKML[1] it was decided that cpuinit should go the way of devinit and be phased out. Once all the users are gone, we can then finally remove the macros themselves from linux/init.h. This removes all the uses of the __cpuinit macros from C files in the core kernel directories (kernel, init, lib, mm, and include) that don't really have a specific maintainer.

* llseek: automatically add .llseek fopArnd Bergmann2010-10-151-0/+1

The three cases that we can automatically detect are no_llseek, seq_lseek and default_llseek. For cases where we can we can automatically prove that the file offset is always ignored, we use noop_llseek, which maintains the current behavior of not returning an error from a seek. New drivers should normally not use noop_llseek but instead use no_llseek and call nonseekable_open at open time. Existing drivers can be converted to do the same when the maintainer knows for certain that no user code relies on calling seek on the device file. The generated code is often incorrectly indented and right now contains comments that clarify for each added line why a specific variant was chosen. In the version that gets submitted upstream, the comments will be gone and I will manually fix the indentation, because there does not seem to be a way to do that using coccinelle. Some amount of new code is currently sitting in linux-next that should get the same modifications, which I will do at the end of the merge window. Many thanks to Julia Lawall for helping me learn to write a semantic patch that does all this. ===== begin semantic patch ===== // This adds an llseek= method to all file operations, // as a preparation for making no_llseek the default. // // The rules are // - use no_llseek explicitly if we do nonseekable_open // - use seq_lseek for sequential files // - use default_llseek if we know we access f_pos // - use noop_llseek if we know we don't access f_pos, // but we still want to allow users to call lseek // @ open1 exists @ identifier nested_open; @@ nested_open(...) { <+... nonseekable_open(...) ...+> } @ open exists@ identifier open_f; identifier i, f; identifier open1.nested_open; @@ int open_f(struct inode *i, struct file *f) { <+...
