taskstats: Cleanup the use of task->exit_code

2022-01-27T09:54:33Z

commit 1b5a42d9c85f0e731f01c8d1129001fd8531a8a0 upstream. In the function bacct_add_task the code reading task->exit_code was introduced in commit f3cef7a99469 ("[PATCH] csa: basic accounting over taskstats"), and it is not entirely clear what the taskstats interface is trying to return as only returning the exit_code of the first task in a process doesn't make a lot of sense. As best as I can figure the intent is to return task->exit_code after a task exits. The field is returned with per task fields, so the exit_code of the entire process is not wanted. Only the value of the first task is returned so this is not a useful way to get the per task ptrace stop code. The ordinary case of returning this value is returning after a task exits, which also precludes use for getting a ptrace value. It is common to for the first task of a process to also be the last task of a process so this field may have done something reasonable by accident in testing. Make ac_exitcode a reliable per task value by always returning it for every exited task. Setting ac_exitcode in a sensible mannter makes it possible to continue to provide this value going forward.

tracing/kprobes: 'nmissed' not showed correctly for kretprobe

2022-01-27T09:54:25Z

commit dfea08a2116fe327f79d8f4d4b2cf6e0c88be11f upstream. The 'nmissed' column of the 'kprobe_profile' file for kretprobe is not showed correctly, kretprobe can be skipped by two reasons, shortage of kretprobe_instance which is counted by tk->rp.nmissed, and kprobe itself is missed by some reason, so to show the sum.

cputime, cpuacct: Include guest time in user time in cpuacct.stat

2022-01-27T09:54:25Z

commit 9731698ecb9c851f353ce2496292ff9fcea39dff upstream. cpuacct.stat in no-root cgroups shows user time without guest time included int it. This doesn't match with user time shown in root cpuacct.stat and /proc//stat. This also affects cgroup2's cpu.stat in the same way. Make account_guest_time() to add user time to cgroup's cpustat to fix this.

audit: ensure userspace is penalized the same as the kernel when under pressure

2022-01-27T09:54:16Z

[ Upstream commit 8f110f530635af44fff1f4ee100ecef0bac62510 ] Due to the audit control mutex necessary for serializing audit userspace messages we haven't been able to block/penalize userspace processes that attempt to send audit records while the system is under audit pressure. The result is that privileged userspace applications have a priority boost with respect to audit as they are not bound by the same audit queue throttling as the other tasks on the system. This patch attempts to restore some balance to the system when under audit pressure by blocking these privileged userspace tasks after they have finished their audit processing, and dropped the audit control mutex, but before they return to userspace.

clocksource: Avoid accidental unstable marking of clocksources

2022-01-27T09:54:06Z

[ Upstream commit c86ff8c55b8ae68837b2fa59dc0c203907e9a15f ] Since commit db3a34e17433 ("clocksource: Retry clock read if long delays detected") and commit 2e27e793e280 ("clocksource: Reduce clocksource-skew threshold"), it is found that tsc clocksource fallback to hpet can sometimes happen on both Intel and AMD systems especially when they are running stressful benchmarking workloads. Of the 23 systems tested with a v5.14 kernel, 10 of them have switched to hpet clock source during the test run. The result of falling back to hpet is a drastic reduction of performance when running benchmarks. For example, the fio performance tests can drop up to 70% whereas the iperf3 performance can drop up to 80%. 4 hpet fallbacks happened during bootup. They were: [ 8.749399] clocksource: timekeeping watchdog on CPU13: hpet read-back delay of 263750ns, attempt 4, marking unstable [ 12.044610] clocksource: timekeeping watchdog on CPU19: hpet read-back delay of 186166ns, attempt 4, marking unstable [ 17.336941] clocksource: timekeeping watchdog on CPU28: hpet read-back delay of 182291ns, attempt 4, marking unstable [ 17.518565] clocksource: timekeeping watchdog on CPU34: hpet read-back delay of 252196ns, attempt 4, marking unstable Other fallbacks happen when the systems were running stressful benchmarks. For example: [ 2685.867873] clocksource: timekeeping watchdog on CPU117: hpet read-back delay of 57269ns, attempt 4, marking unstable [46215.471228] clocksource: timekeeping watchdog on CPU8: hpet read-back delay of 61460ns, attempt 4, marking unstable Commit 2e27e793e280 ("clocksource: Reduce clocksource-skew threshold"), changed the skew margin from 100us to 50us. I think this is too small and can easily be exceeded when running some stressful workloads on a thermally stressed system. So it is switched back to 100us. Even a maximum skew margin of 100us may be too small in for some systems when booting up especially if those systems are under thermal stress. To eliminate the case that the large skew is due to the system being too busy slowing down the reading of both the watchdog and the clocksource, an extra consecutive read of watchdog clock is being done to check this. The consecutive watchdog read delay is compared against WATCHDOG_MAX_SKEW/2. If the delay exceeds the limit, we assume that the system is just too busy. A warning will be printed to the console and the clock skew check is skipped for this round.

clocksource: Reduce clocksource-skew threshold

2022-01-27T09:54:05Z

[ Upstream commit 2e27e793e280ff12cb5c202a1214c08b0d3a0f26 ] Currently, WATCHDOG_THRESHOLD is set to detect a 62.5-millisecond skew in a 500-millisecond WATCHDOG_INTERVAL. This requires that clocks be skewed by more than 12.5% in order to be marked unstable. Except that a clock that is skewed by that much is probably destroying unsuspecting software right and left. And given that there are now checks for false-positive skews due to delays between reading the two clocks, it should be possible to greatly decrease WATCHDOG_THRESHOLD, at least for fine-grained clocks such as TSC. Therefore, add a new uncertainty_margin field to the clocksource structure that contains the maximum uncertainty in nanoseconds for the corresponding clock. This field may be initialized manually, as it is for clocksource_tsc_early and clocksource_jiffies, which is copied to refined_jiffies. If the field is not initialized manually, it will be computed at clock-registry time as the period of the clock in question based on the scale and freq parameters to __clocksource_update_freq_scale() function. If either of those two parameters are zero, the tens-of-milliseconds WATCHDOG_THRESHOLD is used as a cowardly alternative to dividing by zero. No matter how the uncertainty_margin field is calculated, it is bounded below by twice WATCHDOG_MAX_SKEW, that is, by 100 microseconds. Note that manually initialized uncertainty_margin fields are not adjusted, but there is a WARN_ON_ONCE() that triggers if any such field is less than twice WATCHDOG_MAX_SKEW. This WARN_ON_ONCE() is intended to discourage production use of the one-nanosecond uncertainty_margin values that are used to test the clock-skew code itself. The actual clock-skew check uses the sum of the uncertainty_margin fields of the two clocksource structures being compared. Integer overflow is avoided because the largest computed value of the uncertainty_margin fields is one billion (10^9), and double that value fits into an unsigned int. However, if someone manually specifies (say) UINT_MAX, they will get what they deserve. Note that the refined_jiffies uncertainty_margin field is initialized to TICK_NSEC, which means that skew checks involving this clocksource will be sufficently forgiving. In a similar vein, the clocksource_tsc_early uncertainty_margin field is initialized to 32*NSEC_PER_MSEC, which replicates the current behavior and allows custom setting if needed in order to address the rare skews detected for this clocksource in current mainline.

[ Upstream commit e60b0d12a95dcf16a63225cead4541567f5cb517 ] If we ever get to a point again where we convert a bogus looking _or_null typed register containing a non-zero fixed or variable offset, then lets not reset these bounds to zero since they are not and also don't promote the register to a type, but instead leave it as _or_null. Converting to a unknown register could be an avenue as well, but then if we run into this case it would allow to leak a kernel pointer this way.

rcu/exp: Mark current CPU as exp-QS in IPI loop second pass

2022-01-27T09:53:55Z

[ Upstream commit 81f6d49cce2d2fe507e3fddcc4a6db021d9c2e7b ] Expedited RCU grace periods invoke sync_rcu_exp_select_node_cpus(), which takes two passes over the leaf rcu_node structure's CPUs. The first pass gathers up the current CPU and CPUs that are in dynticks idle mode. The workqueue will report a quiescent state on their behalf later. The second pass sends IPIs to the rest of the CPUs, but excludes the current CPU, incorrectly assuming it has been included in the first pass's list of CPUs. Unfortunately the current CPU may have changed between the first and second pass, due to the fact that the various rcu_node structures' ->lock fields have been dropped, thus momentarily enabling preemption. This means that if the second pass's CPU was not on the first pass's list, it will be ignored completely. There will be no IPI sent to it, and there will be no reporting of quiescent states on its behalf. Unfortunately, the expedited grace period will nevertheless be waiting for that CPU to report a quiescent state, but with that CPU having no reason to believe that such a report is needed. The result will be an expedited grace period stall. Fix this by no longer excluding the current CPU from consideration during the second pass.

bpf: Remove config check to enable bpf support for branch records

2022-01-27T09:53:54Z

[ Upstream commit db52f57211b4e45f0ebb274e2c877b211dc18591 ] Branch data available to BPF programs can be very useful to get stack traces out of userspace application. Commit fff7b64355ea ("bpf: Add bpf_read_branch_records() helper") added BPF support to capture branch records in x86. Enable this feature also for other architectures as well by removing checks specific to x86. If an architecture doesn't support branch records, bpf_read_branch_records() still has appropriate checks and it will return an -EINVAL in that scenario. Based on UAPI helper doc in include/uapi/linux/bpf.h, unsupported architectures should return -ENOENT in such case. Hence, update the appropriate check to return -ENOENT instead.
