jump_label: Invoke jump_label_test() via early_initcall()

2017-12-16T09:33:55Z

[ Upstream commit 92ee46efeb505ead3ab06d3c5ce695637ed5f152 ] Fengguang Wu reported that running the rcuperf test during boot can cause the jump_label_test() to hit a WARN_ON(). The issue is that the core jump label code relies on kernel_text_address() to detect when it can no longer update branches that may be contained in __init sections. The kernel_text_address() in turn assumes that if the system_state variable is greter than or equal to SYSTEM_RUNNING then __init sections are no longer valid (since the assumption is that they have been freed). However, when rcuperf is setup to run in early boot it can call kernel_power_off() which sets the system_state to SYSTEM_POWER_OFF. Since rcuperf initialization is invoked via a module_init(), we can make the dependency of jump_label_test() needing to complete before rcuperf explicit by calling it via early_initcall().

jump_labels: API for flushing deferred jump label updates

2017-01-19T19:17:19Z

commit b6416e61012429e0277bd15a229222fd17afc1c1 upstream. 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.

locking/static_key: Fix concurrent static_key_slow_inc()

2016-07-27T16:47:29Z

commit 4c5ea0a9cd02d6aa8adc86e100b2a4cff8d614ff upstream. 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 #include #include #include 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 interface

2015-08-03T09:34:15Z

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.

locking/static_keys: Rework update logic

2015-08-03T09:34:15Z

Instead of spreading the branch_default logic all over the place, concentrate it into the one jump_label_type() function. This does mean we need to actually increment/decrement the enabled count _before_ calling the update path, otherwise jump_label_type() will not see the right state.

jump_label, locking/static_keys: Rename JUMP_LABEL_TYPE_* and related helpers to the static_key* pattern

2015-08-03T09:34:13Z

Rename the JUMP_LABEL_TYPE_* macros to be JUMP_TYPE_* and move the inline helpers into kernel/jump_label.c, since that's the only place they're ever used. Also rename the helpers where it's all about static keys.

jump_label: Rename JUMP_LABEL_{EN,DIS}ABLE to JUMP_LABEL_{JMP,NOP}

2015-08-03T09:34:12Z

Since we've already stepped away from ENABLE is a JMP and DISABLE is a NOP with the branch_default bits, and are going to make it even worse, rename it to make it all clearer. This way we don't mix multiple levels of logic attributes, but have a plain 'physical' name for what the current instruction patching status of a jump label is.
