H A D | Kconfig | diff fe42754b Fri Apr 19 18:05:54 MDT 2024 Sean Christopherson <seanjc@google.com> cpu: Re-enable CPU mitigations by default for !X86 architectures Rename x86's to CPU_MITIGATIONS, define it in generic code, and force it on for all architectures exception x86. A recent commit to turn mitigations off by default if SPECULATION_MITIGATIONS=n kinda sorta missed that "cpu_mitigations" is completely generic, whereas SPECULATION_MITIGATIONS is x86-specific. Rename x86's SPECULATIVE_MITIGATIONS instead of keeping both and have it select CPU_MITIGATIONS, as having two configs for the same thing is unnecessary and confusing. This will also allow x86 to use the knob to manage mitigations that aren't strictly related to speculative execution. Use another Kconfig to communicate to common code that CPU_MITIGATIONS is already defined instead of having x86's menu depend on the common CPU_MITIGATIONS. This allows keeping a single point of contact for all of x86's mitigations, and it's not clear that other architectures *want* to allow disabling mitigations at compile-time.

This series is the result of the following discussion: https://lore.kernel.org/47066176-bd93-55dd-c2fa-002299d9e034@linux.ibm.com/ It mainly avoids building the code that walks page tables on CPUs that use it, i.e., those don't support hardware accessed bit. Specifically, it introduces a new Kconfig to guard some of functions added by commit bd74fdaea146 ("mm: multi-gen LRU: support page table walks") on CPUs like POWER9, on which the series was tested. This patch (of 5): Some architectures are able to set the accessed bit in PTEs when PTEs are used as part of linear address translations. Add CONFIG_ARCH_HAS_HW_PTE_YOUNG for such architectures to be able to override arch_has_hw_pte_young().

While looking into something different I noticed that there are a couple of Kconfig options which were only selected by IA-64 and which are now unused. So remove them and simplify the code a bit. This patch (of 3): IA-64 was the only architecture which selected ARCH_THREAD_STACK_ALLOCATOR. IA-64 was removed with commit cf8e8658100d ("arch: Remove Itanium (IA-64) architecture"). Therefore remove support for ARCH_THREAD_STACK_ALLOCATOR as well.

This shadow stack memory has some unusual properties, which requires some core mm changes to function properly. One of these unusual properties is that shadow stack memory is writable, but only in limited ways. These limits are applied via a specific PTE bit combination. Nevertheless, the memory is writable, and core mm code will need to apply the writable permissions in the typical paths that call pte_mkwrite(). The goal is to make pte_mkwrite() take a VMA, so that the x86 implementation of it can know whether to create regular writable or shadow stack mappings. But there are a couple of challenges to this. Modifying the signatures of each arch pte_mkwrite() implementation would be error prone because some are generated with macros and would need to be re-implemented. Also, some pte_mkwrite() callers operate on kernel memory without a VMA. So this can be done in a three step process. First pte_mkwrite() can be renamed to pte_mkwrite_novma() in each arch, with a generic pte_mkwrite() added that just calls pte_mkwrite_novma(). Next callers without a VMA can be moved to pte_mkwrite_novma(). And lastly, pte_mkwrite() and all callers can be changed to take/pass a VMA. Start the process by renaming pte_mkwrite() to pte_mkwrite_novma() and adding the pte_mkwrite() wrapper in linux/pgtable.h. Apply the same pattern for pmd_mkwrite(). Since not all archs have a pmd_mkwrite_novma(), create a new arch config HAS_HUGE_PAGE that can be used to tell if pmd_mkwrite() should be defined. Otherwise in the !HAS_HUGE_PAGE cases the compiler would not be able to find pmd_mkwrite_novma(). No functional change.

This is backwards, because if this value is zero, there is no RCU Tasks Trace grace period in flight, an thus no need for a quiescent state. Instead, when a grace period starts, this field is set to TRC_NEED_QS. This commit therefore changes the check from zero to TRC_NEED_QS.

But TASK A doesn't itself belong to that new PID namespace. 2) TASK A forks() and creates TASK B. TASK A stays attached to its PID namespace (let's say PID_NS1) and TASK B is the first task belonging to the new PID namespace created by unshare() (let's call it PID_NS2). 3) Since TASK B is the first task attached to PID_NS2, it becomes the PID_NS2 child reaper. 4) TASK A forks() again and creates TASK C which get attached to PID_NS2. Note how TASK C has TASK A as a parent (belonging to PID_NS1) but has TASK B (belonging to PID_NS2) as a pid_namespace child_reaper. 5) TASK B exits and since it is the child reaper for PID_NS2, it has to kill all other tasks attached to PID_NS2, and wait for all of them to die before getting reaped itself (zap_pid_ns_process()). 6) TASK A calls synchronize_rcu_tasks() which leads to synchronize_srcu(&tasks_rcu_exit_srcu). 7) TASK B is waiting for TASK C to get reaped. But TASK B is under a tasks_rcu_exit_srcu SRCU critical section (exit_notify() is between exit_tasks_rcu_start() and exit_tasks_rcu_finish()), blocking TASK A. 8) TASK C exits and since TASK A is its parent, it waits for it to reap TASK C, but it can't because TASK A waits for TASK B that waits for TASK C. Pid_namespace semantics can hardly be changed at this point. But the coverage of tasks_rcu_exit_srcu can be reduced instead. The current task is assumed not to be concurrently reapable at this stage of exit_notify() and therefore tasks_rcu_exit_srcu can be temporarily relaxed without breaking its constraints, providing a way out of the deadlock scenario.

Lockdep is disabled by a concurrent lockdep report. 3. debug_lockdep_rcu_enabled() evaluates its lockdep-expression argument, for example, lock_is_held(&rcu_bh_lock_map). 4. Because lockdep is now disabled, lock_is_held() plays it safe and returns the constant 1. 5. But in this case, the constant 1 is not safe, because invoking synchronize_rcu() under rcu_read_lock_bh() is disallowed. 6. debug_lockdep_rcu_enabled() wrongly invokes lockdep_rcu_suspicious(), resulting in a false-positive splat. This commit therefore changes RCU_LOCKDEP_WARN() to check debug_lockdep_rcu_enabled() after checking the lockdep expression, so that any "safe" returns from lock_is_held() are rejected by debug_lockdep_rcu_enabled(). This requires memory ordering, which is supplied by READ_ONCE(debug_locks). The resulting volatile accesses prevent the compiler from reordering and the fact that only one variable is being accessed prevents the underlying hardware from reordering. The combination works for IA64, which can reorder reads to the same location, but this is defeated by the volatile accesses, which compile to load instructions that provide ordering.

McKenney <paulmck@kernel.org> rcu: Create an unrcu_pointer() to remove __rcu from a pointer The xchg() and cmpxchg() functions are sometimes used to carry out RCU updates. Unfortunately, this can result in sparse warnings for both the old-value and new-value arguments, as well as for the return value. The arguments can be dealt with using RCU_INITIALIZER(): old_p = xchg(&p, RCU_INITIALIZER(new_p)); But a sparse warning still remains due to assigning the __rcu pointer returned from xchg to the (most likely) non-__rcu pointer old_p. This commit therefore provides an unrcu_pointer() macro that strips the __rcu. This macro can be used as follows: old_p = unrcu_pointer(xchg(&p, RCU_INITIALIZER(new_p))); Reported-by: Toke Høiland-Jørgensen <toke@redhat.com> Signed-off-by: Paul E.

The use of Linux on Itanium appears to be limited to enthusiasts that occasionally boot a fresh Linux kernel to see whether things are still working as intended, and perhaps to churn out some distro packages that are rarely used in practice. None of the original companies behind Itanium still produce or support any hardware or software for the architecture, and it is listed as 'Orphaned' in the MAINTAINERS file, as apparently, none of the engineers that contributed on behalf of those companies (nor anyone else, for that matter) have been willing to support or maintain the architecture upstream or even be responsible for applying the odd fix. The Intel firmware team removed all IA-64 support from the Tianocore/EDK2 reference implementation of EFI in 2018. (Itanium is the original architecture for which EFI was developed, and the way Linux supports it deviates significantly from other architectures.) Some distros, such as Debian and Gentoo, still maintain [unofficial] ia64 ports, but many have dropped support years ago. While the argument is being made [1] that there is a 'for the common good' angle to being able to build and run existing projects such as the Grid Community Toolkit [2] on Itanium for interoperability testing, the fact remains that none of those projects are known to be deployed on Linux/ia64, and very few people actually have access to such a system in the first place. Even if there were ways imaginable in which Linux/ia64 could be put to good use today, what matters is whether anyone is actually doing that, and this does not appear to be the case. There are no emulators widely available, and so boot testing Itanium is generally infeasible for ordinary contributors. GCC still supports IA-64 but its compile farm [3] no longer has any IA-64 machines. GLIBC would like to get rid of IA-64 [4] too because it would permit some overdue code cleanups. In summary, the benefits to the ecosystem of having IA-64 be part of it are mostly theoretical, whereas the maintenance overhead of keeping it supported is real. So let's rip off the band aid, and remove the IA-64 arch code entirely. This follows the timeline proposed by the Debian/ia64 maintainer [5], which removes support in a controlled manner, leaving IA-64 in a known good state in the most recent LTS release. Other projects will follow once the kernel support is removed.

The use of Linux on Itanium appears to be limited to enthusiasts that occasionally boot a fresh Linux kernel to see whether things are still working as intended, and perhaps to churn out some distro packages that are rarely used in practice. None of the original companies behind Itanium still produce or support any hardware or software for the architecture, and it is listed as 'Orphaned' in the MAINTAINERS file, as apparently, none of the engineers that contributed on behalf of those companies (nor anyone else, for that matter) have been willing to support or maintain the architecture upstream or even be responsible for applying the odd fix. The Intel firmware team removed all IA-64 support from the Tianocore/EDK2 reference implementation of EFI in 2018. (Itanium is the original architecture for which EFI was developed, and the way Linux supports it deviates significantly from other architectures.) Some distros, such as Debian and Gentoo, still maintain [unofficial] ia64 ports, but many have dropped support years ago. While the argument is being made [1] that there is a 'for the common good' angle to being able to build and run existing projects such as the Grid Community Toolkit [2] on Itanium for interoperability testing, the fact remains that none of those projects are known to be deployed on Linux/ia64, and very few people actually have access to such a system in the first place. Even if there were ways imaginable in which Linux/ia64 could be put to good use today, what matters is whether anyone is actually doing that, and this does not appear to be the case. There are no emulators widely available, and so boot testing Itanium is generally infeasible for ordinary contributors. GCC still supports IA-64 but its compile farm [3] no longer has any IA-64 machines. GLIBC would like to get rid of IA-64 [4] too because it would permit some overdue code cleanups. In summary, the benefits to the ecosystem of having IA-64 be part of it are mostly theoretical, whereas the maintenance overhead of keeping it supported is real. So let's rip off the band aid, and remove the IA-64 arch code entirely. This follows the timeline proposed by the Debian/ia64 maintainer [5], which removes support in a controlled manner, leaving IA-64 in a known good state in the most recent LTS release.
