tracing: Get trace_array reference for available_tracers files

2019-10-17T20:41:05Z

commit 194c2c74f5532e62c218adeb8e2b683119503907 upstream. As instances may have different tracers available, we need to look at the trace_array descriptor that shows the list of the available tracers for the instance. But there's a race between opening the file and an admin deleting the instance. The trace_array_get() needs to be called before accessing the trace_array.

kernel/sysctl.c: do not override max_threads provided by userspace

2019-10-17T20:41:04Z

commit b0f53dbc4bc4c371f38b14c391095a3bb8a0bb40 upstream. Partially revert 16db3d3f1170 ("kernel/sysctl.c: threads-max observe limits") because the patch is causing a regression to any workload which needs to override the auto-tuning of the limit provided by kernel. set_max_threads is implementing a boot time guesstimate to provide a sensible limit of the concurrently running threads so that runaways will not deplete all the memory. This is a good thing in general but there are workloads which might need to increase this limit for an application to run (reportedly WebSpher MQ is affected) and that is simply not possible after the mentioned change. It is also very dubious to override an admin decision by an estimation that doesn't have any direct relation to correctness of the kernel operation. Fix this by dropping set_max_threads from sysctl_max_threads so any value is accepted as long as it fits into MAX_THREADS which is important to check because allowing more threads could break internal robust futex restriction. While at it, do not use MIN_THREADS as the lower boundary because it is also only a heuristic for automatic estimation and admin might have a good reason to stop new threads to be created even when below this limit. This became more severe when we switched x86 from 4k to 8k kernel stacks. Starting since 6538b8ea886e ("x86_64: expand kernel stack to 16K") (3.16) we use THREAD_SIZE_ORDER = 2 and that halved the auto-tuned value. In the particular case 3.12 kernel.threads-max = 515561 4.4 kernel.threads-max = 200000 Neither of the two values is really insane on 32GB machine. I am not sure we want/need to tune the max_thread value further. If anything the tuning should be removed altogether if proven not useful in general. But we definitely need a way to override this auto-tuning.

panic: ensure preemption is disabled during panic()

2019-10-17T20:40:58Z

commit 20bb759a66be52cf4a9ddd17fddaf509e11490cd upstream. Calling 'panic()' on a kernel with CONFIG_PREEMPT=y can leave the calling CPU in an infinite loop, but with interrupts and preemption enabled. From this state, userspace can continue to be scheduled, despite the system being "dead" as far as the kernel is concerned. This is easily reproducible on arm64 when booting with "nosmp" on the command line; a couple of shell scripts print out a periodic "Ping" message whilst another triggers a crash by writing to /proc/sysrq-trigger: | sysrq: Trigger a crash | Kernel panic - not syncing: sysrq triggered crash | CPU: 0 PID: 1 Comm: init Not tainted 5.2.15 #1 | Hardware name: linux,dummy-virt (DT) | Call trace: | dump_backtrace+0x0/0x148 | show_stack+0x14/0x20 | dump_stack+0xa0/0xc4 | panic+0x140/0x32c | sysrq_handle_reboot+0x0/0x20 | __handle_sysrq+0x124/0x190 | write_sysrq_trigger+0x64/0x88 | proc_reg_write+0x60/0xa8 | __vfs_write+0x18/0x40 | vfs_write+0xa4/0x1b8 | ksys_write+0x64/0xf0 | __arm64_sys_write+0x14/0x20 | el0_svc_common.constprop.0+0xb0/0x168 | el0_svc_handler+0x28/0x78 | el0_svc+0x8/0xc | Kernel Offset: disabled | CPU features: 0x0002,24002004 | Memory Limit: none | ---[ end Kernel panic - not syncing: sysrq triggered crash ]--- | Ping 2! | Ping 1! | Ping 1! | Ping 2! The issue can also be triggered on x86 kernels if CONFIG_SMP=n, otherwise local interrupts are disabled in 'smp_send_stop()'. Disable preemption in 'panic()' before re-enabling interrupts.

alarmtimer: Use EOPNOTSUPP instead of ENOTSUPP

2019-10-05T10:27:53Z

commit f18ddc13af981ce3c7b7f26925f099e7c6929aba upstream. ENOTSUPP is not supposed to be returned to userspace. This was found on an OpenPower machine, where the RTC does not support set_alarm. On that system, a clock_nanosleep(CLOCK_REALTIME_ALARM, ...) results in "524 Unknown error 524" Replace it with EOPNOTSUPP which results in the expected "95 Operation not supported" error.

printk: Do not lose last line in kmsg buffer dump

2019-10-05T10:27:51Z

[ Upstream commit b46eff55ad5bd98e746c0a7022fe7ee071de5fee ] kmsg_dump_get_buffer() is supposed to select all the youngest log messages which fit into the provided buffer. It determines the correct start index by using msg_print_text() with a NULL buffer to calculate the size of each entry. However, when performing the actual writes, msg_print_text() only writes the entry to the buffer if the written len is lesser than the size of the buffer. So if the lengths of the selected youngest log messages happen to precisely fill up the provided buffer, the last log message is not included. We don't want to modify msg_print_text() to fill up the buffer and start returning a length which is equal to the size of the buffer, since callers of its other users, such as kmsg_dump_get_line(), depend upon the current behaviour. Instead, fix kmsg_dump_get_buffer() to compensate for this. For example, with the following two final prints: [ 6.427502] AAAAAAAAAAAAA [ 6.427769] BBBBBBBB12345 A dump of a 64-byte buffer filled by kmsg_dump_get_buffer(), before this patch: 00000000: 3c 30 3e 5b 20 20 20 20 36 2e 35 32 32 31 39 37 <0>[ 6.522197 00000010: 5d 20 41 41 41 41 41 41 41 41 41 41 41 41 41 0a ] AAAAAAAAAAAAA. 00000020: 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 ................ 00000030: 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 ................

kprobes: Prohibit probing on BUG() and WARN() address

[ Upstream commit e336b4027775cb458dc713745e526fa1a1996b2a ] Since BUG() and WARN() may use a trap (e.g. UD2 on x86) to get the address where the BUG() has occurred, kprobes can not do single-step out-of-line that instruction. So prohibit probing on such address. Without this fix, if someone put a kprobe on WARN(), the kernel will crash with invalid opcode error instead of outputing warning message, because kernel can not find correct bug address.

sched/core: Fix CPU controller for !RT_GROUP_SCHED

2019-10-05T10:27:45Z

[ Upstream commit a07db5c0865799ebed1f88be0df50c581fb65029 ] On !CONFIG_RT_GROUP_SCHED configurations it is currently not possible to move RT tasks between cgroups to which CPU controller has been attached; but it is oddly possible to first move tasks around and then make them RT (setschedule to FIFO/RR). E.g.: # mkdir /sys/fs/cgroup/cpu,cpuacct/group1 # chrt -fp 10 $$ # echo $$ > /sys/fs/cgroup/cpu,cpuacct/group1/tasks bash: echo: write error: Invalid argument # chrt -op 0 $$ # echo $$ > /sys/fs/cgroup/cpu,cpuacct/group1/tasks # chrt -fp 10 $$ # cat /sys/fs/cgroup/cpu,cpuacct/group1/tasks 2345 2598 # chrt -p 2345 pid 2345's current scheduling policy: SCHED_FIFO pid 2345's current scheduling priority: 10 Also, as Michal noted, it is currently not possible to enable CPU controller on unified hierarchy with !CONFIG_RT_GROUP_SCHED (if there are any kernel RT threads in root cgroup, they can't be migrated to the newly created CPU controller's root in cgroup_update_dfl_csses()). Existing code comes with a comment saying the "we don't support RT-tasks being in separate groups". Such comment is however stale and belongs to pre-RT_GROUP_SCHED times. Also, it doesn't make much sense for !RT_GROUP_ SCHED configurations, since checks related to RT bandwidth are not performed at all in these cases. Make moving RT tasks between CPU controller groups viable by removing special case check for RT (and DEADLINE) tasks.

sched/fair: Fix imbalance due to CPU affinity

2019-10-05T10:27:45Z

[ Upstream commit f6cad8df6b30a5d2bbbd2e698f74b4cafb9fb82b ] The load_balance() has a dedicated mecanism to detect when an imbalance is due to CPU affinity and must be handled at parent level. In this case, the imbalance field of the parent's sched_group is set. The description of sg_imbalanced() gives a typical example of two groups of 4 CPUs each and 4 tasks each with a cpumask covering 1 CPU of the first group and 3 CPUs of the second group. Something like: { 0 1 2 3 } { 4 5 6 7 } * * * * But the load_balance fails to fix this UC on my octo cores system made of 2 clusters of quad cores. Whereas the load_balance is able to detect that the imbalanced is due to CPU affinity, it fails to fix it because the imbalance field is cleared before letting parent level a chance to run. In fact, when the imbalance is detected, the load_balance reruns without the CPU with pinned tasks. But there is no other running tasks in the situation described above and everything looks balanced this time so the imbalance field is immediately cleared. The imbalance field should not be cleared if there is no other task to move when the imbalance is detected.
