kexec, KEYS: make the code in bzImage64_verify_sig generic

2022-08-21T13:18:56Z

commit c903dae8941deb55043ee46ded29e84e97cd84bb upstream. commit 278311e417be ("kexec, KEYS: Make use of platform keyring for signature verify") adds platform keyring support on x86 kexec but not arm64. The code in bzImage64_verify_sig uses the keys on the .builtin_trusted_keys, .machine, if configured and enabled, .secondary_trusted_keys, also if configured, and .platform keyrings to verify the signed kernel image as PE file.

block: serialize all debugfs operations using q->debugfs_mutex

2022-08-17T12:42:24Z

[ Upstream commit 5cf9c91ba927119fc6606b938b1895bb2459d3bc ] Various places like I/O schedulers or the QOS infrastructure try to register debugfs files on demans, which can race with creating and removing the main queue debugfs directory. Use the existing debugfs_mutex to serialize all debugfs operations that rely on q->debugfs_dir or the directories hanging off it. To make the teardown code a little simpler declare all debugfs dentry pointers and not just the main one uncoditionally in blkdev.h. Move debugfs_mutex next to the dentries that it protects and document what it is used for.

locking/csd_lock: Change csdlock_debug from early_param to __setup

2022-08-17T12:42:24Z

[ Upstream commit 9c9b26b0df270d4f9246e483a44686fca951a29c ] The csdlock_debug kernel-boot parameter is parsed by the early_param() function csdlock_debug(). If set, csdlock_debug() invokes static_branch_enable() to enable csd_lock_wait feature, which triggers a panic on arm64 for kernels built with CONFIG_SPARSEMEM=y and CONFIG_SPARSEMEM_VMEMMAP=n. With CONFIG_SPARSEMEM_VMEMMAP=n, __nr_to_section is called in static_key_enable() and returns NULL, resulting in a NULL dereference because mem_section is initialized only later in sparse_init(). This is also a problem for powerpc because early_param() functions are invoked earlier than jump_label_init(), also resulting in static_key_enable() failures. These failures cause the warning "static key 'xxx' used before call to jump_label_init()". Thus, early_param is too early for csd_lock_wait to run static_branch_enable(), so changes it to __setup to fix these.

timekeeping: contribute wall clock to rng on time change

2022-08-17T12:42:24Z

[ Upstream commit b8ac29b40183a6038919768b5d189c9bd91ce9b4 ] The rng's random_init() function contributes the real time to the rng at boot time, so that events can at least start in relation to something particular in the real world. But this clock might not yet be set that point in boot, so nothing is contributed. In addition, the relation between minor clock changes from, say, NTP, and the cycle counter is potentially useful entropic data. This commit addresses this by mixing in a time stamp on calls to settimeofday and adjtimex. No entropy is credited in doing so, so it doesn't make initialization faster, but it is still useful input to have.

kexec_file: drop weak attribute from functions

2022-08-17T12:42:23Z

[ Upstream commit 65d9a9a60fd71be964effb2e94747a6acb6e7015 ] As requested (http://lkml.kernel.org/r/87ee0q7b92.fsf@email.froward.int.ebiederm.org), this series converts weak functions in kexec to use the #ifdef approach. Quoting the 3e35142ef99fe ("kexec_file: drop weak attribute from arch_kexec_apply_relocations[_add]") changelog: : Since commit d1bcae833b32f1 ("ELF: Don't generate unused section symbols") : [1], binutils (v2.36+) started dropping section symbols that it thought : were unused. This isn't an issue in general, but with kexec_file.c, gcc : is placing kexec_arch_apply_relocations[_add] into a separate : .text.unlikely section and the section symbol ".text.unlikely" is being : dropped. Due to this, recordmcount is unable to find a non-weak symbol in : .text.unlikely to generate a relocation record against. This patch (of 2); Drop __weak attribute from functions in kexec_file.c: - arch_kexec_kernel_image_probe() - arch_kimage_file_post_load_cleanup() - arch_kexec_kernel_image_load() - arch_kexec_locate_mem_hole() - arch_kexec_kernel_verify_sig() arch_kexec_kernel_image_load() calls into kexec_image_load_default(), so drop the static attribute for the latter. arch_kexec_kernel_verify_sig() is not overridden by any architecture, so drop the __weak attribute.

sched/core: Do not requeue task on CPU excluded from cpus_mask

2022-08-17T12:42:16Z

[ Upstream commit 751d4cbc43879229dbc124afefe240b70fd29a85 ] The following warning was triggered on a large machine early in boot on a distribution kernel but the same problem should also affect mainline. WARNING: CPU: 439 PID: 10 at ../kernel/workqueue.c:2231 process_one_work+0x4d/0x440 Call Trace: rescuer_thread+0x1f6/0x360 kthread+0x156/0x180 ret_from_fork+0x22/0x30 Commit c6e7bd7afaeb ("sched/core: Optimize ttwu() spinning on p->on_cpu") optimises ttwu by queueing a task that is descheduling on the wakelist, but does not check if the task descheduling is still allowed to run on that CPU. In this warning, the problematic task is a workqueue rescue thread which checks if the rescue is for a per-cpu workqueue and running on the wrong CPU. While this is early in boot and it should be possible to create workers, the rescue thread may still used if the MAYDAY_INITIAL_TIMEOUT is reached or MAYDAY_INTERVAL and on a sufficiently large machine, the rescue thread is being used frequently. Tracing confirmed that the task should have migrated properly using the stopper thread to handle the migration. However, a parallel wakeup from udev running on another CPU that does not share CPU cache observes p->on_cpu and uses task_cpu(p), queues the task on the old CPU and triggers the warning. Check that the wakee task that is descheduling is still allowed to run on its current CPU and if not, wait for the descheduling to complete and select an allowed CPU.

sched: Remove the limitation of WF_ON_CPU on wakelist if wakee cpu is idle

2022-08-17T12:42:16Z

[ Upstream commit f3dd3f674555bd9455c5ae7fafce0696bd9931b3 ] Wakelist can help avoid cache bouncing and offload the overhead of waker cpu. So far, using wakelist within the same llc only happens on WF_ON_CPU, and this limitation could be removed to further improve wakeup performance. The commit 518cd6234178 ("sched: Only queue remote wakeups when crossing cache boundaries") disabled queuing tasks on wakelist when the cpus share llc. This is because, at that time, the scheduler must send IPIs to do ttwu_queue_wakelist. Nowadays, ttwu_queue_wakelist also supports TIF_POLLING, so this is not a problem now when the wakee cpu is in idle polling. Benefits: Queuing the task on idle cpu can help improving performance on waker cpu and utilization on wakee cpu, and further improve locality because the wakee cpu can handle its own rq. This patch helps improving rt on our real java workloads where wakeup happens frequently. Consider the normal condition (CPU0 and CPU1 share same llc) Before this patch: CPU0 CPU1 select_task_rq() idle rq_lock(CPU1->rq) enqueue_task(CPU1->rq) notify CPU1 (by sending IPI or CPU1 polling) resched() After this patch: CPU0 CPU1 select_task_rq() idle add to wakelist of CPU1 notify CPU1 (by sending IPI or CPU1 polling) rq_lock(CPU1->rq) enqueue_task(CPU1->rq) resched() We see CPU0 can finish its work earlier. It only needs to put task to wakelist and return. While CPU1 is idle, so let itself handle its own runqueue data. This patch brings no difference about IPI. This patch only takes effect when the wakee cpu is: 1) idle polling 2) idle not polling For 1), there will be no IPI with or without this patch. For 2), there will always be an IPI before or after this patch. Before this patch: waker cpu will enqueue task and check preempt. Since "idle" will be sure to be preempted, waker cpu must send a resched IPI. After this patch: waker cpu will put the task to the wakelist of wakee cpu, and send an IPI.

sched: Fix the check of nr_running at queue wakelist

2022-08-17T12:42:16Z

[ Upstream commit 28156108fecb1f808b21d216e8ea8f0d205a530c ] The commit 2ebb17717550 ("sched/core: Offload wakee task activation if it the wakee is descheduling") checked rq->nr_running <= 1 to avoid task stacking when WF_ON_CPU. Per the ordering of writes to p->on_rq and p->on_cpu, observing p->on_cpu (WF_ON_CPU) in ttwu_queue_cond() implies !p->on_rq, IOW p has gone through the deactivate_task() in __schedule(), thus p has been accounted out of rq->nr_running. As such, the task being the only runnable task on the rq implies reading rq->nr_running == 0 at that point. The benchmark result is in [1].
