diff e041c683 Mon Mar 27 02:16:30 MST 2006 Alan Stern <stern@rowland.harvard.edu> [PATCH] Notifier chain update: API changes

The kernel's implementation of notifier chains is unsafe. There is no
protection against entries being added to or removed from a chain while the
chain is in use. The issues were discussed in this thread:

http://marc.theaimsgroup.com/?l=linux-kernel&m=113018709002036&w=2

We noticed that notifier chains in the kernel fall into two basic usage
classes:

"Blocking" chains are always called from a process context
and the callout routines are allowed to sleep;

"Atomic" chains can be called from an atomic context and
the callout routines are not allowed to sleep.

We decided to codify this distinction and make it part of the API. Therefore
this set of patches introduces three new, parallel APIs: one for blocking
notifiers, one for atomic notifiers, and one for "raw" notifiers (which is
really just the old API under a new name). New kinds of data structures are
used for the heads of the chains, and new routines are defined for
registration, unregistration, and calling a chain. The three APIs are
explained in include/linux/notifier.h and their implementation is in
kernel/sys.c.

With atomic and blocking chains, the implementation guarantees that the chain
links will not be corrupted and that chain callers will not get messed up by
entries being added or removed. For raw chains the implementation provides no
guarantees at all; users of this API must provide their own protections. (The
idea was that situations may come up where the assumptions of the atomic and
blocking APIs are not appropriate, so it should be possible for users to
handle these things in their own way.)

There are some limitations, which should not be too hard to live with. For
atomic/blocking chains, registration and unregistration must always be done in
a process context since the chain is protected by a mutex/rwsem. Also, a
callout routine for a non-raw chain must not try to register or unregister
entries on its own chain. (This did happen in a couple of places and the code
had to be changed to avoid it.)

Since atomic chains may be called from within an NMI handler, they cannot use
spinlocks for synchronization. Instead we use RCU. The overhead falls almost
entirely in the unregister routine, which is okay since unregistration is much
less frequent that calling a chain.

Here is the list of chains that we adjusted and their classifications. None
of them use the raw API, so for the moment it is only a placeholder.

ATOMIC CHAINS
-------------
arch/i386/kernel/traps.c: i386die_chain
arch/ia64/kernel/traps.c: ia64die_chain

net/netlink/af_netlink.c: netlink_chain

BLOCKING CHAINS
---------------
arch/powerpc/platforms/pseries/reconfig.c: pSeries_reconfig_chain
arch/s390/kernel/process.c: idle_chain
arch/x86_64/kernel/process.c idle_notifier
drivers/base/memory.c: memory_chain

kernel/cpu.c cpu_chain
kernel/module.c module_notify_list
kernel/profile.c munmap_notifier
kernel/profile.c task_exit_notifier
kernel/sys.c reboot_notifier_list
net/core/dev.c netdev_chain
net/decnet/dn_dev.c: dnaddr_chain
net/ipv4/devinet.c: inetaddr_chain

It's possible that some of these classifications are wrong. If they are,
please let us know or submit a patch to fix them. Note that any chain that
gets called very frequently should be atomic, because the rwsem read-locking
used for blocking chains is very likely to incur cache misses on SMP systems.
(However, if the chain's callout routines may sleep then the chain cannot be
atomic.)

The patch set was written by Alan Stern and Chandra Seetharaman, incorporating
material written by Keith Owens and suggestions from Paul McKenney and Andrew
Morton.

Provide a command line and a sysfs knob to control SMT.

The command line options are:

'nosmt': Enumerate secondary threads, but do not online them

'nosmt=force': Ignore secondary threads completely during enumeration
via MP table and ACPI/MADT.

The sysfs control file has the following states (read/write):

'on': SMT is enabled. Secondary threads can be freely onlined
'off': SMT is disabled. Secondary threads, even if enumerated
cannot be onlined
'forceoff': SMT is permanentely disabled. Writes to the control
file are rejected.
'notsupported': SMT is not supported by the CPU

The command line option 'nosmt' sets the sysfs control to 'off'. This
can be changed to 'on' to reenable SMT during runtime.

The command line option 'nosmt=force' sets the sysfs control to
'forceoff'. This cannot be changed during runtime.

When SMT is 'on' and the control file is changed to 'off' then all online
secondary threads are offlined and attempts to online a secondary thread
later on are rejected.

When SMT is 'off' and the control file is changed to 'on' then secondary
threads can be onlined again. The 'off' -> 'on' transition does not
automatically online the secondary threads.

When the control file is set to 'forceoff', the behaviour is the same as
setting it to 'off', but the operation is irreversible and later writes to
the control file are rejected.

When the control status is 'notsupported' then writes to the control file
are rejected.

cpu_hotplug_driver_lock() serializes CPU online/offline operations
when ARCH_CPU_PROBE_RELEASE is set. This lock interface is no longer
necessary with the following reason:

- lock_device_hotplug() now protects CPU online/offline operations,
including the probe & release interfaces enabled by
ARCH_CPU_PROBE_RELEASE. The use of cpu_hotplug_driver_lock() is
redundant.
- cpu_hotplug_driver_lock() is only valid when ARCH_CPU_PROBE_RELEASE
is defined, which is misleading and is only enabled on powerpc.

This patch removes the cpu_hotplug_driver_lock() interface. As
a result, ARCH_CPU_PROBE_RELEASE only enables / disables the cpu
probe & release interface as intended. There is no functional change
in this patch.

With Goto-san's patch, we can add new pgdat/node at runtime. I'm now
considering node-hot-add with cpu + memory on ACPI.

I found acpi container, which describes node, could evaluate cpu before
memory. This means cpu-hot-add occurs before memory hot add.

In most part, cpu-hot-add doesn't depend on node hot add. But register_cpu(),
which creates symbolic link from node to cpu, requires that node should be
onlined before register_cpu(). When a node is onlined, its pgdat should be
there.

This patch-set holds off creating symbolic link from node to cpu
until node is onlined.

This removes node arguments from register_cpu().

Now, register_cpu() requires 'struct node' as its argument. But the array of
struct node is now unified in driver/base/node.c now (By Goto's node hotplug
patch). We can get struct node in generic way. So, this argument is not
necessary now.

This patch also guarantees add cpu under node only when node is onlined. It
is necessary for node-hot-add vs. cpu-hot-add patch following this.

Moreover, register_cpu calculates cpu->node_id by cpu_to_node() without regard
to its 'struct node *root' argument. This patch removes it.

Also modify callers of register_cpu()/unregister_cpu, whose args are changed
by register-cpu-remove-node-struct patch.

H A Drcupdate.hdiff 3c6b0c1c Thu Nov 30 06:27:29 MST 2023 Sebastian Andrzej Siewior <bigeasy@linutronix.de> srcu: Use try-lock lockdep annotation for NMI-safe access.

It is claimed that srcu_read_lock_nmisafe() NMI-safe. However it
triggers a lockdep if used from NMI because lockdep expects a deadlock
since nothing disables NMIs while the lock is acquired.

This is because commit f0f44752f5f61 ("rcu: Annotate SRCU's update-side
lockdep dependencies") annotates synchronize_srcu() as a write lock
usage. This helps to detect a deadlocks such as
srcu_read_lock();
synchronize_srcu();
srcu_read_unlock();

The side effect is that the lock srcu_struct now has a USED usage in normal
contexts, so it conflicts with a USED_READ usage in NMI. But this shouldn't
cause a real deadlock because the write lock usage from synchronize_srcu()
is a fake one and only used for read/write deadlock detection.

Use a try-lock annotation for srcu_read_lock_nmisafe() to avoid lockdep
complains if used from NMI.

Commit e31d28b6ab8f ("trace: Eliminate cond_resched_rcu_qs() in favor
of cond_resched()") substituted cond_resched() for the earlier call
to cond_resched_rcu_qs(). However, the new-age cond_resched() does
not do anything to help RCU-tasks grace periods because (1) RCU-tasks
is only enabled when CONFIG_PREEMPT=y and (2) cond_resched() is a
complete no-op when preemption is enabled. This situation results
in hangs when running the trace benchmarks.

A number of potential fixes were discussed on LKML
(https://lkml.kernel.org/r/20180224151240.0d63a059@vmware.local.home),
including making cond_resched() not be a no-op; making cond_resched()
not be a no-op, but only when running tracing benchmarks; reverting
the aforementioned commit (which works because cond_resched_rcu_qs()
does provide an RCU-tasks quiescent state; and adding a call to the
scheduler/RCU rcu_note_voluntary_context_switch() function. All were
deemed unsatisfactory, either due to added cond_resched() overhead or
due to magic functions inviting cargo culting.

This commit renames cond_resched_rcu_qs() to cond_resched_tasks_rcu_qs(),
which provides a clear hint as to what this function is doing and
why and where it should be used, and then replaces the call to

Prepare the scheduler tick code for reworking the idle loop to
avoid stopping the tick in some cases.

The idea is to split the nohz idle entry call to decouple the idle
time stats accounting and preparatory work from the actual tick stop
code, in order to later be able to delay the tick stop once we reach
more power-knowledgeable callers.

Move away the tick_nohz_start_idle() invocation from
__tick_nohz_idle_enter(), rename the latter to
__tick_nohz_idle_stop_tick() and define tick_nohz_idle_stop_tick()
as a wrapper around it for calling it from the outside.

Make tick_nohz_idle_enter() only call tick_nohz_start_idle() instead
of calling the entire __tick_nohz_idle_enter(), add another wrapper
disabling and enabling interrupts around tick_nohz_idle_stop_tick()
and make the current callers of tick_nohz_idle_enter() call it too
to retain their current functionality.

diff d91bdd96 Mon Aug 14 02:18:27 MDT 2023 Thomas Gleixner <tglx@linutronix.de> cpu/SMT: Make SMT control more robust against enumeration failures

The SMT control mechanism got added as speculation attack vector
mitigation. The implemented logic relies on the primary thread mask to
be set up properly.

This turns out to be an issue with XEN/PV guests because their CPU hotplug
mechanics do not enumerate APICs and therefore the mask is never correctly
populated.

This went unnoticed so far because by chance XEN/PV ends up with
smp_num_siblings == 2. So smt_hotplug_control stays at its default value
CPU_SMT_ENABLED and the primary thread mask is never evaluated in the
context of CPU hotplug.

This stopped "working" with the upcoming overhaul of the topology
evaluation which legitimately provides a fake topology for XEN/PV. That
sets smp_num_siblings to 1, which causes the core CPU hot-plug core to
refuse to bring up the APs.

This happens because smt_hotplug_control is set to CPU_SMT_NOT_SUPPORTED
which causes cpu_smt_allowed() to evaluate the unpopulated primary thread
mask with the conclusion that all non-boot CPUs are not valid to be
plugged.

Make cpu_smt_allowed() more robust and take CPU_SMT_NOT_SUPPORTED and
CPU_SMT_NOT_IMPLEMENTED into account. Rename it to cpu_bootable() while at
it as that makes it more clear what the function is about.

The primary mask issue on x86 XEN/PV needs to be addressed separately as
there are users outside of the CPU hotplug code too.

diff 6f062123 Fri May 12 15:07:27 MDT 2023 Thomas Gleixner <tglx@linutronix.de> cpu/hotplug: Add CPU state tracking and synchronization

The CPU state tracking and synchronization mechanism in smpboot.c is
completely independent of the hotplug code and all logic around it is
implemented in architecture specific code.

Except for the state reporting of the AP there is absolutely nothing
architecture specific and the sychronization and decision functions can be
moved into the generic hotplug core code.

Provide an integrated variant and add the core synchronization and decision
points. This comes in two flavours:

1) DEAD state synchronization

Updated by the architecture code once the AP reaches the point where
it is ready to be torn down by the control CPU, e.g. by removing power
or clocks or tear down via the hypervisor.

The control CPU waits for this state to be reached with a timeout. If
the state is reached an architecture specific cleanup function is
invoked.

2) Full state synchronization

This extends #1 with AP alive synchronization. This is new
functionality, which allows to replace architecture specific wait
mechanims, e.g. cpumasks, completely.

It also prevents that an AP which is in a limbo state can be brought
up again. This can happen when an AP failed to report dead state
during a previous off-line operation.

The dead synchronization is what most architectures use. Only x86 makes a
bringup decision based on that state at the moment.

diff b22afcdf Sat Mar 27 15:01:36 MDT 2021 Thomas Gleixner <tglx@linutronix.de> cpu/hotplug: Cure the cpusets trainwreck

Alexey and Joshua tried to solve a cpusets related hotplug problem which is
user space visible and results in unexpected behaviour for some time after
a CPU has been plugged in and the corresponding uevent was delivered.

cpusets delegate the hotplug work (rebuilding cpumasks etc.) to a
workqueue. This is done because the cpusets code has already a lock
nesting of cgroups_mutex -> cpu_hotplug_lock. A synchronous callback or
waiting for the work to finish with cpu_hotplug_lock held can and will
deadlock because that results in the reverse lock order.

As a consequence the uevent can be delivered before cpusets have consistent
state which means that a user space invocation of sched_setaffinity() to
move a task to the plugged CPU fails up to the point where the scheduled
work has been processed.

The same is true for CPU unplug, but that does not create user observable
failure (yet).

It's still inconsistent to claim that an operation is finished before it
actually is and that's the real issue at hand. uevents just make it
reliably observable.

Obviously the problem should be fixed in cpusets/cgroups, but untangling
that is pretty much impossible because according to the changelog of the
commit which introduced this 8 years ago:

3a5a6d0c2b03("cpuset: don't nest cgroup_mutex inside get_online_cpus()")

the lock order cgroups_mutex -> cpu_hotplug_lock is a design decision and
the whole code is built around that.

So bite the bullet and invoke the relevant cpuset function, which waits for
the work to finish, in _cpu_up/down() after dropping cpu_hotplug_lock and
only when tasks are not frozen by suspend/hibernate because that would
obviously wait forever.

Waiting there with cpu_add_remove_lock, which is protecting the present
and possible CPU maps, held is not a problem at all because neither work
queues nor cpusets/cgroups have any lockchains related to that lock.

Waiting in the hotplug machinery is not problematic either because there
are already state callbacks which wait for hardware queues to drain. It
makes the operations slightly slower, but hotplug is slow anyway.

This ensures that state is consistent before returning from a hotplug
up/down operation. It's still inconsistent during the operation, but that's
a different story.

Add a large comment which explains why this is done and why this is not a
dump ground for the hack of the day to work around half thought out locking
schemes. Document also the implications vs. hotplug operations and
serialization or the lack of it.

Thanks to Alexy and Joshua for analyzing why this temporary
sched_setaffinity() failure happened.

With the new mechanism which kicks tasks off the outgoing CPU at the end of
schedule() the situation on an outgoing CPU right before the stopper thread
brings it down completely is:

- All user tasks and all unbound kernel threads have either been migrated
away or are not running and the next wakeup will move them to a online CPU.

- All per CPU kernel threads, except cpu hotplug thread and the stopper
thread have either been unbound or parked by the responsible CPU hotplug
callback.

That means that at the last step before the stopper thread is invoked the
cpu hotplug thread is the last legitimate running task on the outgoing
CPU.

Add a final wait step right before the stopper thread is kicked which
ensures that any still running tasks on the way to park or on the way to
kick themself of the CPU are either sleeping or gone.

This allows to remove the migrate_tasks() crutch in sched_cpu_dying(). If
sched_cpu_dying() detects that there is still another running task aside of
the stopper thread then it will explode with the appropriate fireworks.

Export the RCU point of view as to when a CPU is considered offline
(ie: when does RCU consider that a CPU is sufficiently down in the
hotplug process to not feature any possible read side).

This will be used by RCU-tasks whose vision of an offline CPU should
reasonably match the one of RCU core.

diff 15d44dfa Thu Apr 27 11:50:47 MDT 2023 Paul E. McKenney <paulmck@kernel.org> rcu: Make rcu_cpu_starting() rely on interrupts being disabled

Currently, rcu_cpu_starting() is written so that it might be invoked
with interrupts enabled. However, it is always called when interrupts
are disabled, either by rcu_init(), notify_cpu_starting(), or from a
call point prior to the call to notify_cpu_starting().

But why bother requiring that interrupts be disabled? The purpose is
to allow the rcu_data structure's ->beenonline flag to be set after all
early processing has completed for the incoming CPU, thus allowing this
flag to be used to determine when workqueues have been set up for the
incoming CPU, while still allowing this flag to be used as a diagnostic
within rcu_core().

This commit therefore makes rcu_cpu_starting() rely on interrupts being
disabled.

If the rcutree.rcu_min_cached_objs kernel boot parameter is set to zero,
then krcp->page_cache_work will never be triggered to fill page cache.
In addition, the put_cached_bnode() will not fill page cache. As a
result krcp->bkvcache will always be empty, so there is no need to acquire
krcp->lock to get page from krcp->bkvcache. This commit therefore makes
drain_page_cache() return immediately if the rcu_min_cached_objs is zero.

When the fill_page_cache_func() function is invoked, it assumes that
the cache of pages is completely empty. However, there can be some time
between triggering execution of this function and its actual invocation.
During this time, kfree_rcu_work() might run, and might fill in part or
all of this cache of pages, thus invalidating the fill_page_cache_func()
function's assumption.

This will not overfill the cache because put_cached_bnode() will reject
the extra page. However, it will result in a needless allocation and
freeing of one extra page, which might not be helpful under lowish-memory
conditions.

This commit therefore causes the fill_page_cache_func() to explicitly
account for pages that have been placed into the cache shortly before
it starts running.

The commit 3fcd6a230fa7 ("x86/cpu: Avoid cpuinfo-induced IPIing of
idle CPUs") introduced rcu_is_idle_cpu() in order to identify the
current CPU idle state. But commit f3eca381bd49 ("x86/aperfmperf:
Replace arch_freq_get_on_cpu()") switched to using MAX_SAMPLE_AGE,
so rcu_is_idle_cpu() is no longer used. This commit therefore removes it.

Currently shrinkers are anonymous objects. For debugging purposes they
can be identified by count/scan function names, but it's not always
useful: e.g. for superblock's shrinkers it's nice to have at least an
idea of to which superblock the shrinker belongs.

This commit adds names to shrinkers. register_shrinker() and
prealloc_shrinker() functions are extended to take a format and arguments
to master a name.

In some cases it's not possible to determine a good name at the time when
a shrinker is allocated. For such cases shrinker_debugfs_rename() is
provided.

The expected format is:
<subsystem>-<shrinker_type>[:<instance>]-<id>
For some shrinkers an instance can be encoded as (MAJOR:MINOR) pair.

After this change the shrinker debugfs directory looks like:
$ cd /sys/kernel/debug/shrinker/
$ ls

Enabling CONFIG_RCU_BOOST did not reduce RCU expedited grace-period
latency because its workqueues run at SCHED_OTHER, and thus can be
delayed by normal processes. This commit avoids these delays by moving
the expedited GP work items to a real-time-priority kthread_worker.

This option is controlled by CONFIG_RCU_EXP_KTHREAD and disabled by
default on PREEMPT_RT=y kernels which disable expedited grace periods
after boot by unconditionally setting rcupdate.rcu_normal_after_boot=1.

The results were evaluated on arm64 Android devices (6GB ram) running
5.10 kernel, and capturing trace data in critical user-level code.
