[ 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greter than or equal to SYSTEM_RUNNING then __init sections are no longer
valid (since the assumption is that they have been freed).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().

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.

<title>jump_label: remove bug.h, atomic.h dependencies for HAVE_JUMP_LABEL</title>

<content type='text'>
The current jump_label.h includes bug.h for things such as WARN_ON().
This makes the header problematic for inclusion by kernel.h or any
headers that kernel.h includes, since bug.h includes kernel.h (circular
dependency).  The inclusion of atomic.h is similarly problematic.  Thus,
this should make jump_label.h 'includable' from most places.

Some arches (powerpc at least) would like to invoke jump_label_init()
much earlier in boot. So check static_key_initialized in order to make
sure this function runs only once.

 "The locking tree was busier in this cycle than the usual pattern - a
  couple of major projects happened to coincide.

  The main changes are:

   - implement the atomic_fetch_{add,sub,and,or,xor}() API natively
     across all SMP architectures (Peter Zijlstra)

   - add atomic_fetch_{inc/dec}() as well, using the generic primitives
     (Davidlohr Bueso)

   - optimize various aspects of rwsems (Jason Low, Davidlohr Bueso,
     Waiman Long)

   - optimize smp_cond_load_acquire() on arm64 and implement LSE based
     atomic{,64}_fetch_{add,sub,and,andnot,or,xor}{,_relaxed,_acquire,_release}()
     on arm64 (Will Deacon)

   - introduce smp_acquire__after_ctrl_dep() and fix various barrier
     mis-uses and bugs (Peter Zijlstra)

   - after discovering ancient spin_unlock_wait() barrier bugs in its
     implementation and usage, strengthen its semantics and update/fix
     usage sites (Peter Zijlstra)

   - optimize mutex_trylock() fastpath (Peter Zijlstra)

   - ... misc fixes and cleanups"

<title>locking/static_key: Fix concurrent static_key_slow_inc()</title>

<id>urn:sha1:4c5ea0a9cd02d6aa8adc86e100b2a4cff8d614ff</id>
<content type='text'>
The following scenario is possible:

    CPU 1                                   CPU 2
    static_key_slow_inc()
     atomic_inc_not_zero()
      -&gt; key.enabled == 0, no increment
     jump_label_lock()
     atomic_inc_return()
      -&gt; key.enabled == 1 now
                                            static_key_slow_inc()
                                             atomic_inc_not_zero()
                                              -&gt; 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 &lt;fcntl.h&gt;
    #include &lt;unistd.h&gt;
    #include &lt;sys/ioctl.h&gt;
    #include &lt;linux/kvm.h&gt;

    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 &lt;= 0.
