Allow the developer to specifiy the initial value of the modprobe_path[]
string. This can be used to set it to the empty string initially, thus
effectively disabling request_module() during early boot until userspace
writes a new value via the /proc/sys/kernel/modprobe interface. [1]
When building a custom kernel (often for an embedded target), it's normal
to build everything into the kernel that is needed for booting, and indeed
the initramfs often contains no modules at all, so every such
request_module() done before userspace init has mounted the real rootfs is
a waste of time.
This is particularly useful when combined with the previous patch, which
made the initramfs unpacking asynchronous - for that to work, it had to
make any usermodehelper call wait for the unpacking to finish before
attempting to invoke the userspace helper. By eliminating all such
(known-to-be-futile) calls of usermodehelper, the initramfs unpacking and
the {device,late}_initcalls can proceed in parallel for much longer.
For a relatively slow ppc board I'm working on, the two patches combined
lead to 0.2s faster boot - but more importantly, the fact that the
initramfs unpacking proceeds completely in the background while devices
get probed means I get to handle the gpio watchdog in time without getting
reset.
[1] __request_module() already has an early -ENOENT return when
modprobe_path is the empty string.

Patch series "background initramfs unpacking, and CONFIG_MODPROBE_PATH", v3.
These two patches are independent, but better-together.
The second is a rather trivial patch that simply allows the developer to
change "/sbin/modprobe" to something else - e.g. the empty string, so
that all request_module() during early boot return -ENOENT early, without
even spawning a usermode helper, needlessly synchronizing with the
initramfs unpacking.
The first patch delegates decompressing the initramfs to a worker thread,
allowing do_initcalls() in main.c to proceed to the device_ and late_
initcalls without waiting for that decompression (and populating of
rootfs) to finish. Obviously, some of those later calls may rely on the
initramfs being available, so I've added synchronization points in the
firmware loader and usermodehelper paths - there might be other places
that would need this, but so far no one has been able to think of any
places I have missed.
There's not much to win if most of the functionality needed during boot is
only available as modules. But systems with a custom-made .config and
initramfs can boot faster, partly due to utilizing more than one cpu
earlier, partly by avoiding known-futile modprobe calls (which would still
trigger synchronization with the initramfs unpacking, thus eliminating
most of the first benefit).
This patch (of 2):
Most of the boot process doesn't actually need anything from the
initramfs, until of course PID1 is to be executed. So instead of doing
the decompressing and populating of the initramfs synchronously in
populate_rootfs() itself, push that off to a worker thread.
This is primarily motivated by an embedded ppc target, where unpacking
even the rather modest sized initramfs takes 0.6 seconds, which is long
enough that the external watchdog becomes unhappy that it doesn't get
attention soon enough. By doing the initramfs decompression in a worker
thread, we get to do the device_initcalls and hence start petting the
watchdog much sooner.
Normal desktops might benefit as well. On my mostly stock Ubuntu kernel,
my initramfs is a 26M xz-compressed blob, decompressing to around 126M.
That takes almost two seconds:
[ 0.201454] Trying to unpack rootfs image as initramfs...
[ 1.976633] Freeing initrd memory: 29416K
Before this patch, these lines occur consecutively in dmesg. With this
patch, the timestamps on these two lines is roughly the same as above, but
with 172 lines inbetween - so more than one cpu has been kept busy doing
work that would otherwise only happen after the populate_rootfs()
finished.
Should one of the initcalls done after rootfs_initcall time (i.e., device_
and late_ initcalls) need something from the initramfs (say, a kernel
module or a firmware blob), it will simply wait for the initramfs
unpacking to be done before proceeding, which should in theory make this
completely safe.
But if some driver pokes around in the filesystem directly and not via one
of the official kernel interfaces (i.e. request_firmware*(),
call_usermodehelper*) that theory may not hold - also, I certainly might
have missed a spot when sprinkling wait_for_initramfs(). So there is an
escape hatch in the form of an initramfs_async= command line parameter.

It's currently nigh impossible to get these pr_debug()s to print
something. Being guarded by initcall_debug means one has to enable tons
of other debug output during boot, and the system_state condition further
means it's impossible to get them when loading modules later.
Also, the compiler can't know that these global conditions do not change,
so there are W=2 warnings
kernel/async.c:125:9: warning: `calltime' may be used uninitialized in this function [-Wmaybe-uninitialized]
kernel/async.c:300:9: warning: `starttime' may be used uninitialized in this function [-Wmaybe-uninitialized]
Make it possible, for a DYNAMIC_DEBUG kernel, to get these to print their
messages by booting with appropriate 'dyndbg="file async.c +p"' command
line argument. For a non-DYNAMIC_DEBUG kernel, pr_debug() compiles to
nothing.
This does cost doing an unconditional ktime_get() for the starttime value,
but the corresponding ktime_get for the end time can be elided by
factoring it into a function which only gets called if the printk()
arguments end up being evaluated.

request_free_mem_region() is used to find an empty range of physical
addresses for hotplugging ZONE_DEVICE memory. It does this by iterating
over the range of possible addresses using region_intersects() to see if
the range is free before calling request_mem_region() to allocate the
region.
However the resource_lock is dropped between these two calls meaning by
the time request_mem_region() is called in request_free_mem_region()
another thread may have already reserved the requested region. This
results in unexpected failures and a message in the kernel log from
hitting this condition:
/*
* mm/hmm.c reserves physical addresses which then
* become unavailable to other users. Conflicts are
* not expected. Warn to aid debugging if encountered.
*/
if (conflict->desc == IORES_DESC_DEVICE_PRIVATE_MEMORY) {
pr_warn("Unaddressable device %s %pR conflicts with %pR",
conflict->name, conflict, res);
These unexpected failures can be corrected by holding resource_lock across
the two calls. This also requires memory allocation to be performed prior
to taking the lock.

Patch series "kernel/resource: make walk_system_ram_res() and walk_mem_res() search the whole tree", v2.
Playing with kdump+virtio-mem I noticed that kexec_file_load() does not
consider System RAM added via dax/kmem and virtio-mem when preparing the
elf header for kdump. Looking into the details, the logic used in
walk_system_ram_res() and walk_mem_res() seems to be outdated.
walk_system_ram_range() already does the right thing, let's change
walk_system_ram_res() and walk_mem_res(), and clean up.
Loading a kdump kernel via "kexec -p -s" ... will result in the kdump
kernel to also dump dax/kmem and virtio-mem added System RAM now.
Note: kexec-tools on x86-64 also have to be updated to consider this
memory in the kexec_load() case when processing /proc/iomem.
This patch (of 3):
It used to be true that we can have system RAM (IORESOURCE_SYSTEM_RAM |
IORESOURCE_BUSY) only on the first level in the resource tree. However,
this is no longer holds for driver-managed system RAM (i.e., added via
dax/kmem and virtio-mem), which gets added on lower levels, for example,
inside device containers.
We have two users of walk_system_ram_res(), which currently only
consideres the first level:
a) kernel/kexec_file.c:kexec_walk_resources() -- We properly skip
IORESOURCE_SYSRAM_DRIVER_MANAGED resources via
locate_mem_hole_callback(), so even after this change, we won't be
placing kexec images onto dax/kmem and virtio-mem added memory. No
change.
b) arch/x86/kernel/crash.c:fill_up_crash_elf_data() -- we're currently
not adding relevant ranges to the crash elf header, resulting in them
not getting dumped via kdump.
This change fixes loading a crashkernel via kexec_file_load() and
including dax/kmem and virtio-mem added System RAM in the crashdump on
x86-64. Note that e.g,, arm64 relies on memblock data and, therefore,
always considers all added System RAM already.
Let's find all IORESOURCE_SYSTEM_RAM | IORESOURCE_BUSY resources, making
the function behave like walk_system_ram_range().

Add a special-case when waiting on a pid (via waitpid, waitid, wait4, etc)
to avoid doing an O(n) scan of children and tracees, and instead do an
O(1) lookup. This improves performance when waiting on a pid from a
thread group with many children and/or tracees.
Time to fork and then call waitpid on the child, from a task that already
has N children [1]:
N | Before | After
-----|---------|------
1 | 74 us | 74 us
20 | 72 us | 75 us
100 | 83 us | 77 us
500 | 99 us | 74 us
1000 | 179 us | 75 us

8000 | 1268 us | 78 us
[1]: https://lkml.org/lkml/2021/3/12/1567
This can make a substantial performance improvement for applications with
a thread that has many children or tracees and frequently needs to wait on
them. Tools that use ptrace to intercept syscalls for a large number of
processes are likely to fall into this category. In particular this patch
was developed while building a ptrace-based second generation of the
Shadow emulator [2], for which it allows us to avoid quadratic scaling
(without having to use a workaround that introduces a ~40% performance
penalty) [3]. Other examples of tools that fall into this category which
this patch may help include User Mode Linux [4] and DetTrace [5].

Pull tracing fix from Steven Rostedt:
"Fix probes written to the set_ftrace_filter file
Now that there's a library that accesses the tracefs file system
(libtracefs), the way the files are interacted with is slightly
different than the command line. For instance, the write() system call
is used directly instead of an echo. This exposes some old bugs.
If a probe is written to "set_ftrace_filter" without any white space
after it, it will be ignored. This is because the write expects that a
string written to it that does not end with white spaces thinks there
is more to come. But if the file is closed, the release function needs
to finish it. The "set_ftrace_filter" release function handles the
filter part of the "set_ftrace_filter" file, but did not handle the
probe part"

# echo -n switch_mm:traceoff > /sys/kernel/tracing/set_ftrace_filter
does nothing.
The reason is that the parsing in the write function only processes
commands if it finished parsing (there is white space written after the
command). That's to handle:
write(fd, "switch_mm:", 10);
write(fd, "traceoff", 8);
cases, where the command is broken over multiple writes.
The problem is if the file descriptor is closed, then the write call is
not processed, and the command needs to be processed in the release code.
The release code can handle matching of functions, but does not handle
commands.

Pull tracing updates from Steven Rostedt:
"New feature:
- A new "func-no-repeats" option in tracefs/options directory.
When set the function tracer will detect if the current function
being traced is the same as the previous one, and instead of
recording it, it will keep track of the number of times that the
function is repeated in a row. And when another function is
recorded, it will write a new event that shows the function that
repeated, the number of times it repeated and the time stamp of
when the last repeated function occurred.
Enhancements:
- In order to implement the above "func-no-repeats" option, the ring
buffer timestamp can now give the accurate timestamp of the event
as it is being recorded, instead of having to record an absolute
timestamp for all events. This helps the histogram code which no
longer needs to waste ring buffer space.
- New validation logic to make sure all trace events that access
dereferenced pointers do so in a safe way, and will warn otherwise.
Fixes:
- No longer limit the PIDs of tasks that are recorded for
"saved_cmdlines" to PID_MAX_DEFAULT (32768), as systemd now allows
for a much larger range. This caused the mapping of PIDs to the
task names to be dropped for all tasks with a PID greater than
32768.
- Change trace_clock_global() to never block. This caused a deadlock.

- Typos, prototype fixes, and removing of duplicate or unused code.

Pull Landlock LSM from James Morris:
"Add Landlock, a new LSM from Mickaël Salaün.
Briefly, Landlock provides for unprivileged application sandboxing.
From Mickaël's cover letter:
"The goal of Landlock is to enable to restrict ambient rights (e.g.
global filesystem access) for a set of processes. Because Landlock
is a stackable LSM [1], it makes possible to create safe security
sandboxes as new security layers in addition to the existing
system-wide access-controls. This kind of sandbox is expected to
help mitigate the security impact of bugs or unexpected/malicious
behaviors in user-space applications. Landlock empowers any
process, including unprivileged ones, to securely restrict
themselves.
Landlock is inspired by seccomp-bpf but instead of filtering
syscalls and their raw arguments, a Landlock rule can restrict the
use of kernel objects like file hierarchies, according to the
kernel semantic. Landlock also takes inspiration from other OS
sandbox mechanisms: XNU Sandbox, FreeBSD Capsicum or OpenBSD
Pledge/Unveil.
In this current form, Landlock misses some access-control features.
This enables to minimize this patch series and ease review. This
series still addresses multiple use cases, especially with the
combined use of seccomp-bpf: applications with built-in sandboxing,
init systems, security sandbox tools and security-oriented APIs [2]"

Pull pin control updates from Linus Walleij:
"There is a lot going on!
Core changes:
- A semantic change to handle pinmux and pinconf in explicit order
while up until now we depended on the semantic order in the device
tree. The device tree is a functional programming language and does
not imply any order, so the right thing is for the pin control core
to provide these semantics.
- Add a new pinmux-select debugfs file which makes it possible to go
in and select functions for a pin manually (iteratively, at the
prompt) for debugging purposes.
- Fixes to gpio regmap handling for a new pin control driver making
use of regmap-gpio.
- Use octal permissions on debugfs files.
New drivers:
- A massive rewrite of the former custom pin control driver for MIPS
Broadcom devices to instead use the pin control subsystem. New pin
control drivers for BCM6345, BCM6328, BCM6358, BCM6362, BCM6368,
BCM63268 and BCM6318 SoC variants are implemented.
- Support for PM8350, PM8350B, PM8350C, PMK8350, PMR735A and PMR735B
in the Qualcomm PMIC GPIO driver. Also the two GPIOs on PM8008 are
supported.
- Support for the Rockchip RK3568/RK3566 pin controller.
- Support for Ingenic JZ4730, JZ4750, JZ4755, JZ4775 and X2000.
- Support for Mediatek MTK8195.
- Add a new Xilinx ZynqMP pin control driver.
Driver improvements and non-urgent fixes:
- Modularization and improvements of the Rockchip drivers.
- Some new pins added to the description of new Renesas SoCs.
- Clarifications of the GPIO base calculation in the Intel driver.
- Fix the function names for the MPP54 and MPP55 pins in the Armada
CP110 pin controller.
- GPIO wakeup interrupt map for Qualcomm SC7280 and SM8350.
- Support for ACPI probing of the Qualcomm SC8180x.
- Fix interrupt clear status on rockchip
- Fix some missing pins on the Ingenic JZ4770, some semantic fixes
for the behaviour of the Ingenic pin controller. Add DMIC pins for
JZ4780, X1000, X1500 and X1830.

Pull module updates from Jessica Yu:
"Fix an age old bug involving jump_calls and static_labels when
CONFIG_MODULE_UNLOAD=n.
When CONFIG_MODULE_UNLOAD=n, it means you can't unload modules, so
normally the __exit sections of a module are not loaded at all.
However, dynamic code patching (jump_label, static_call, alternatives)
can have sites in __exit sections even if __exit is never executed.
Reported by Peter Zijlstra:
'Alternatives, jump_labels and static_call all can have relocations
into __exit code. Not loading it at all would be BAD.'
Therefore, load the __exit sections even when CONFIG_MODULE_UNLOAD=n,
and discard them after init"

Current users of the rstat code can source root-level statistics from
the native counters of their respective subsystem, allowing them to
forego aggregation at the root level. This optimization is currently
implemented inside the generic rstat code, which doesn't track the root
cgroup and doesn't invoke the subsystem flush callbacks on it.
However, the memory controller cannot do this optimization, because
cgroup1 breaks out memory specifically for the local level, including at
the root level. In preparation for the memory controller switching to
rstat, move the optimization from rstat core to the controllers.
Afterwards, rstat will always track the root cgroup for changes and
invoke the subsystem callbacks on it; and it's up to the subsystem to
special-case and skip aggregation of the root cgroup if it can source
this information through other, cheaper means.
This is the case for the io controller and the cgroup base stats. In
their respective flush callbacks, check whether the parent is the root
cgroup, and if so, skip the unnecessary upward propagation.
The extra cost of tracking the root cgroup is negligible: on stat
changes, we actually remove a branch that checks for the root. The
queueing for a flush touches only per-cpu data, and only the first stat
change since a flush requires a (per-cpu) lock.

Rstat currently only supports the default hierarchy in cgroup2. In
order to replace memcg's private stats infrastructure - used in both
cgroup1 and cgroup2 - with rstat, the latter needs to support cgroup1.
The initialization and destruction callbacks for regular cgroups are
already in place. Remove the cgroup_on_dfl() guards to handle cgroup1.
The initialization of the root cgroup is currently hardcoded to only
handle cgrp_dfl_root.cgrp. Move those callbacks to cgroup_setup_root()
and cgroup_destroy_root() to handle the default root as well as the
various cgroup1 roots we may set up during mounting.
The linking of css to cgroups happens in code shared between cgroup1 and
cgroup2 as well. Simply remove the cgroup_on_dfl() guard.
Linkage of the root css to the root cgroup is a bit trickier: per
default, the root css of a subsystem controller belongs to the default
hierarchy (i.e. the cgroup2 root). When a controller is mounted in its
cgroup1 version, the root css is stolen and moved to the cgroup1 root;
on unmount, the css moves back to the default hierarchy. Annotate
rebind_subsystems() to move the root css linkage along between roots.

For simplification commit 991e767385 ("mm: memcontrol: account kernel
stack per node") changed the per zone vmalloc backed stack pages
accounting to per node.
By doing that we have lost a certain precision because those pages might
live in different NUMA nodes. In the end NR_KERNEL_STACK_KB exported to
the userspace might be over estimated on some nodes while underestimated
on others. But this is not a real world problem, just a problem found
by reading the code. So there is no actual data to showing how much
impact it has on users.
This doesn't impose any real problem to correctnes of the kernel
behavior as the counter is not used for any internal processing but it
can cause some confusion to the userspace.
Address the problem by accounting each vmalloc backing page to its own
node.

Commit d6ad3e286d ("softlockup: Add sched_clock_tick() to avoid kernel
warning on kgdb resume") introduced touch_softlockup_watchdog_sync().
It solved a problem when the watchdog was touched in an atomic context,
the timer callback was proceed right after releasing interrupts, and the
local clock has not been updated yet. In this case, sched_clock_tick()
was called in watchdog_timer_fn() before updating the timer.
So far so good.
Later commit 5d1c0f4a80 ("watchdog: add check for suspended vm in
softlockup detector") added two kvm_check_and_clear_guest_paused()
calls. They touch the watchdog when the guest has been sleeping.
The code makes my head spin around.
Scenario 1:
+ guest did sleep:
+ PVCLOCK_GUEST_STOPPED is set
+ 1st watchdog_timer_fn() invocation:
+ the watchdog is not touched yet
+ is_softlockup() returns too big delay
+ kvm_check_and_clear_guest_paused():
+ clear PVCLOCK_GUEST_STOPPED
+ call touch_softlockup_watchdog_sync()
+ set SOFTLOCKUP_DELAY_REPORT
+ set softlockup_touch_sync
+ return from the timer callback
+ 2nd watchdog_timer_fn() invocation:
+ call sched_clock_tick() even though it is not needed.
The timer callback was invoked again only because the clock
has already been updated in the meantime.
+ call kvm_check_and_clear_guest_paused() that does nothing
because PVCLOCK_GUEST_STOPPED has been cleared already.
+ call update_report_ts() and return. This is fine. Except
that sched_clock_tick() might allow to set it already
during the 1st invocation.
Scenario 2:
+ guest did sleep
+ 1st watchdog_timer_fn() invocation
+ same as in 1st scenario
+ guest did sleep again:
+ set PVCLOCK_GUEST_STOPPED again
+ 2nd watchdog_timer_fn() invocation
+ SOFTLOCKUP_DELAY_REPORT is set from 1st invocation
+ call sched_clock_tick()
+ call kvm_check_and_clear_guest_paused()
+ clear PVCLOCK_GUEST_STOPPED
+ call touch_softlockup_watchdog_sync()
+ set SOFTLOCKUP_DELAY_REPORT
+ set softlockup_touch_sync
+ call update_report_ts() (set real timestamp immediately)
+ return from the timer callback
+ 3rd watchdog_timer_fn() invocation
+ timestamp is set from 2nd invocation
+ softlockup_touch_sync is set but not checked because
the real timestamp is already set
Make the code more straightforward:
1. Always call kvm_check_and_clear_guest_paused() at the very
beginning to handle PVCLOCK_GUEST_STOPPED. It touches the watchdog
when the quest did sleep.
2. Handle the situation when the watchdog has been touched
(SOFTLOCKUP_DELAY_REPORT is set).
Call sched_clock_tick() when touch_*sync() variant was used. It makes
sure that the timestamp will be up to date even when it has been
touched in atomic context or quest did sleep.
As a result, kvm_check_and_clear_guest_paused() is called on a single
location. And the right timestamp is always set when returning from the
timer callback.
