rcu: Fix macro name CONFIG_TASKS_RCU_TRACE

2021-09-18T11:43:38Z

[ Upstream commit fed31a4dd3adb5455df7c704de2abb639a1dc1c0 ] This commit fixes several typos where CONFIG_TASKS_RCU_TRACE should instead be CONFIG_TASKS_TRACE_RCU. Among other things, these typos could cause CONFIG_TASKS_TRACE_RCU_READ_MB=y kernels to suffer from memory-ordering bugs that could result in false-positive quiescent states and too-short grace periods.

rcu: Fix stall-warning deadlock due to non-release of rcu_node ->lock

2021-09-15T08:02:07Z

[ Upstream commit dc87740c8a6806bd2162bfb441770e4e53be5601 ] If rcu_print_task_stall() is invoked on an rcu_node structure that does not contain any tasks blocking the current grace period, it takes an early exit that fails to release that rcu_node structure's lock. This results in a self-deadlock, which is detected by lockdep. To reproduce this bug: tools/testing/selftests/rcutorture/bin/kvm.sh --allcpus --duration 3 --trust-make --configs "TREE03" --kconfig "CONFIG_PROVE_LOCKING=y" --bootargs "rcutorture.stall_cpu=30 rcutorture.stall_cpu_block=1 rcutorture.fwd_progress=0 rcutorture.test_boost=0" This will also result in other complaints, including RCU's scheduler hook complaining about blocking rather than preemption and an rcutorture writer stall. Only a partial RCU CPU stall warning message will be printed because of the self-deadlock. This commit therefore releases the lock on the rcu_print_task_stall() function's early exit path.

rcu: Fix to include first blocked task in stall warning

2021-09-15T08:02:07Z

[ Upstream commit e6a901a44f76878ed1653626c9ff4cfc5a3f58f8 ] The for loop in rcu_print_task_stall() always omits ts[0], which points to the first task blocking the stalled grace period. This in turn fails to count this first task, which means that ndetected will be equal to zero when all CPUs have passed through their quiescent states and only one task is blocking the stalled grace period. This zero value for ndetected will in turn result in an incorrect "All QSes seen" message: rcu: INFO: rcu_preempt detected stalls on CPUs/tasks: rcu: Tasks blocked on level-1 rcu_node (CPUs 12-23): (detected by 15, t=6504 jiffies, g=164777, q=9011209) rcu: All QSes seen, last rcu_preempt kthread activity 1 (4295252379-4295252378), jiffies_till_next_fqs=1, root ->qsmask 0x2 BUG: sleeping function called from invalid context at include/linux/uaccess.h:156 in_atomic(): 1, irqs_disabled(): 0, non_block: 0, pid: 70613, name: msgstress04 INFO: lockdep is turned off.

rcu/tree: Handle VM stoppage in stall detection

2021-09-15T08:02:02Z

[ Upstream commit ccfc9dd6914feaa9a81f10f9cce56eb0f7712264 ] The soft watchdog timer function checks if a virtual machine was suspended and hence what looks like a lockup in fact is a false positive. This is what kvm_check_and_clear_guest_paused() does: it tests guest PVCLOCK_GUEST_STOPPED (which is set by the host) and if it's set then we need to touch all watchdogs and bail out. Watchdog timer function runs from IRQ, so PVCLOCK_GUEST_STOPPED check works fine. There is, however, one more watchdog that runs from IRQ, so watchdog timer fn races with it, and that watchdog is not aware of PVCLOCK_GUEST_STOPPED - RCU stall detector. apic_timer_interrupt() smp_apic_timer_interrupt() hrtimer_interrupt() __hrtimer_run_queues() tick_sched_timer() tick_sched_handle() update_process_times() rcu_sched_clock_irq() This triggers RCU stalls on our devices during VM resume. If tick_sched_handle()->rcu_sched_clock_irq() runs on a VCPU before watchdog_timer_fn()->kvm_check_and_clear_guest_paused() then there is nothing on this VCPU that touches watchdogs and RCU reads stale gp stall timestamp and new jiffies value, which makes it think that RCU has stalled. Make RCU stall watchdog aware of PVCLOCK_GUEST_STOPPED and don't report RCU stalls when we resume the VM. Signed-off-by: Sergey Senozhatsky Signed-off-by: Signed-off-by: Paul E.

rcu-tasks: Don't delete holdouts within trc_wait_for_one_reader()

2021-07-06T22:52:49Z

Invoking trc_del_holdout() from within trc_wait_for_one_reader() is only a performance optimization because the RCU Tasks Trace grace-period kthread will eventually do this within check_all_holdout_tasks_trace(). But it is not a particularly important performance optimization because it only applies to the grace-period kthread, of which there is but one. This commit therefore removes this invocation of trc_del_holdout() in favor of the one in check_all_holdout_tasks_trace() in the grace-period kthread. Reported-by: "Xu, Yanfei" Signed-off-by: Paul E.

rcu-tasks: Don't delete holdouts within trc_inspect_reader()

2021-07-06T19:38:21Z

As Yanfei pointed out, although invoking trc_del_holdout() is safe from the viewpoint of the integrity of the holdout list itself, the put_task_struct() invoked by trc_del_holdout() can result in use-after-free errors due to later accesses to this task_struct structure by the RCU Tasks Trace grace-period kthread. This commit therefore removes this call to trc_del_holdout() from trc_inspect_reader() in favor of the grace-period thread's existing call to trc_del_holdout(), thus eliminating that particular class of use-after-free errors.

refscale: Avoid false-positive warnings in ref_scale_reader()

2021-07-06T19:38:08Z

If the call to set_cpus_allowed_ptr() in ref_scale_reader() fails, a later WARN_ONCE() complains. But with the advent of 570a752b7a9b ("lib/smp_processor_id: Use is_percpu_thread() instead of nr_cpus_allowed"), this complaint can be drowned out by complaints from smp_processor_id(). The rationale for this change is that refscale's kthreads are not marked with PF_NO_SETAFFINITY, which means that a system administrator could change affinity at any time. However, refscale is a performance/stress test, and the system administrator might well have a valid test-the-test reason for changing affinity. This commit therefore changes to raw_smp_processor_id() in order to avoid the noise, and also adds a WARN_ON_ONCE() to the call to set_cpus_allowed_ptr() in order to directly detect immediate failure. There is no WARN_ON_ONCE() within the test loop, allowing human-reflex-based affinity resetting, if desired. Signed-off-by: Paul E. McKenney
