sched/rt: Disallow writing invalid values to sched_rt_period_us

2024-03-01T12:13:33Z

commit 079be8fc630943d9fc70a97807feb73d169ee3fc upstream. The validation of the value written to sched_rt_period_us was broken because: - the sysclt_sched_rt_period is declared as unsigned int - parsed by proc_do_intvec() - the range is asserted after the value parsed by proc_do_intvec() Because of this negative values written to the file were written into a unsigned integer that were later on interpreted as large positive integers which did passed the check: if (sysclt_sched_rt_period <= 0) return EINVAL; This commit fixes the parsing by setting explicit range for both perid_us and runtime_us into the sched_rt_sysctls table and processes the values with proc_dointvec_minmax() instead. Alternatively if we wanted to use full range of unsigned int for the period value we would have to split the proc_handler and use proc_douintvec() for it however even the Documentation/scheduller/sched-rt-group.rst describes the range as 1 to INT_MAX. As far as I can tell the only problem this causes is that the sysctl file allows writing negative values which when read back may confuse userspace. There is also a LTP test being submitted for these sysctl files at: http://patchwork.ozlabs.org/project/ltp/patch/20230901144433.2526-1-chrubis@suse.cz/ Signed-off-by: Cyril Hrubis Signed-off-by: Ingo Molnar Link: https://lore.kernel.org/r/20231002115553.3007-2-chrubis@suse.cz [ pvorel: rebased for 5.4 ] Reviewed-by: Petr Vorel Signed-off-by: Petr Vorel Signed-off-by: Greg Kroah-Hartman

sched/rt: Fix sysctl_sched_rr_timeslice intial value

2024-03-01T12:13:33Z

commit c7fcb99877f9f542c918509b2801065adcaf46fa upstream. There is a 10% rounding error in the intial value of the sysctl_sched_rr_timeslice with CONFIG_HZ_300=y. This was found with LTP test sched_rr_get_interval01: sched_rr_get_interval01.c:57: TPASS: sched_rr_get_interval() passed sched_rr_get_interval01.c:64: TPASS: Time quantum 0s 99999990ns sched_rr_get_interval01.c:72: TFAIL: /proc/sys/kernel/sched_rr_timeslice_ms != 100 got 90 sched_rr_get_interval01.c:57: TPASS: sched_rr_get_interval() passed sched_rr_get_interval01.c:64: TPASS: Time quantum 0s 99999990ns sched_rr_get_interval01.c:72: TFAIL: /proc/sys/kernel/sched_rr_timeslice_ms != 100 got 90 What this test does is to compare the return value from the sched_rr_get_interval() and the sched_rr_timeslice_ms sysctl file and fails if they do not match. The problem it found is the intial sysctl file value which was computed as: static int sysctl_sched_rr_timeslice = (MSEC_PER_SEC / HZ) * RR_TIMESLICE; which works fine as long as MSEC_PER_SEC is multiple of HZ, however it introduces 10% rounding error for CONFIG_HZ_300: (MSEC_PER_SEC / HZ) * (100 * HZ / 1000) (1000 / 300) * (100 * 300 / 1000) 3 * 30 = 90 This can be easily fixed by reversing the order of the multiplication and division. After this fix we get: (MSEC_PER_SEC * (100 * HZ / 1000)) / HZ (1000 * (100 * 300 / 1000)) / 300 (1000 * 30) / 300 = 100 Fixes: 975e155ed873 ("sched/rt: Show the 'sched_rr_timeslice' SCHED_RR timeslice tuning knob in milliseconds") Signed-off-by: Cyril Hrubis Signed-off-by: Peter Zijlstra (Intel) Reviewed-by: Petr Vorel Acked-by: Mel Gorman Tested-by: Petr Vorel Link: https://lore.kernel.org/r/20230802151906.25258-2-chrubis@suse.cz [ pvorel: rebased for 5.4 ] Signed-off-by: Petr Vorel Signed-off-by: Greg Kroah-Hartman

sched/rt: sysctl_sched_rr_timeslice show default timeslice after reset

2024-03-01T12:13:32Z

commit c1fc6484e1fb7cc2481d169bfef129a1b0676abe upstream. The sched_rr_timeslice can be reset to default by writing value that is <= 0. However after reading from this file we always got the last value written, which is not useful at all. $ echo -1 > /proc/sys/kernel/sched_rr_timeslice_ms $ cat /proc/sys/kernel/sched_rr_timeslice_ms -1 Fix this by setting the variable that holds the sysctl file value to the jiffies_to_msecs(RR_TIMESLICE) in case that <= 0 value was written.

commit 944d5fe50f3f03daacfea16300e656a1691c4a23 upstream. On some systems, sys_membarrier can be very expensive, causing overall slowdowns for everything.

tracing: Inform kmemleak of saved_cmdlines allocation

2024-02-23T07:25:13Z

commit 2394ac4145ea91b92271e675a09af2a9ea6840b7 upstream. The allocation of the struct saved_cmdlines_buffer structure changed from: s = kmalloc(sizeof(*s), GFP_KERNEL); s->saved_cmdlines = kmalloc_array(TASK_COMM_LEN, val, GFP_KERNEL); to: orig_size = sizeof(*s) + val * TASK_COMM_LEN; order = get_order(orig_size); size = 1 << (order + PAGE_SHIFT); page = alloc_pages(GFP_KERNEL, order); if (!page) return NULL; s = page_address(page); memset(s, 0, sizeof(*s)); s->saved_cmdlines = kmalloc_array(TASK_COMM_LEN, val, GFP_KERNEL); Where that s->saved_cmdlines allocation looks to be a dangling allocation to kmemleak. That's because kmemleak only keeps track of kmalloc() allocations. For allocations that use page_alloc() directly, the kmemleak needs to be explicitly informed about it. Add kmemleak_alloc() and kmemleak_free() around the page allocation so that it doesn't give the following false positive: unreferenced object 0xffff8881010c8000 (size 32760): comm "swapper", pid 0, jiffies 4294667296 hex dump (first 32 bytes): ff ff ff ff ff ff ff ff ff ff ff ff ff ff ff ff ................ ff ff ff ff ff ff ff ff ff ff ff ff ff ff ff ff ................ backtrace (crc ae6ec1b9): [] kmemleak_alloc+0x45/0x80 [] __kmalloc_large_node+0x10d/0x190 [] __kmalloc+0x3b1/0x4c0 [] allocate_cmdlines_buffer+0x113/0x230 [] tracer_alloc_buffers.isra.0+0x124/0x460 [] early_trace_init+0x14/0xa0 [] start_kernel+0x12e/0x3c0 [] x86_64_start_reservations+0x18/0x30 [] x86_64_start_kernel+0x7b/0x80 [] secondary_startup_64_no_verify+0x15e/0x16b Link: https://lore.kernel.org/linux-trace-kernel/87r0hfnr9r.fsf@kernel.org/ Link: https://lore.kernel.org/linux-trace-kernel/20240214112046.09a322d6@gandalf.local.home Cc: Masami Hiramatsu Cc: Mathieu Desnoyers Cc: Catalin Marinas Fixes: 44dc5c41b5b1 ("tracing: Fix wasted memory in saved_cmdlines logic") Reported-by: Kalle Valo Tested-by: Kalle Valo Signed-off-by: Steven Rostedt (Google) Signed-off-by: Greg Kroah-Hartman

ring-buffer: Clean ring_buffer_poll_wait() error return

2024-02-23T07:25:12Z

commit 66bbea9ed6446b8471d365a22734dc00556c4785 upstream. The return type for ring_buffer_poll_wait() is __poll_t. This is behind the scenes an unsigned where we can set event bits. In case of a non-allocated CPU, we do return instead -EINVAL (0xffffffea). Lucky us, this ends up setting few error bits (EPOLLERR | EPOLLHUP | EPOLLNVAL), so user-space at least is aware something went wrong. Nonetheless, this is an incorrect code. Replace that -EINVAL with a proper EPOLLERR to clean that output. As this doesn't change the behaviour, there's no need to treat this change as a bug fix.

tracing: Fix wasted memory in saved_cmdlines logic

2024-02-23T07:25:11Z

commit 44dc5c41b5b1267d4dd037d26afc0c4d3a568acb upstream. While looking at improving the saved_cmdlines cache I found a huge amount of wasted memory that should be used for the cmdlines. The tracing data saves pids during the trace. At sched switch, if a trace occurred, it will save the comm of the task that did the trace. This is saved in a "cache" that maps pids to comms and exposed to user space via the /sys/kernel/tracing/saved_cmdlines file. Currently it only caches by default 128 comms. The structure that uses this creates an array to store the pids using PID_MAX_DEFAULT (which is usually set to 32768). This causes the structure to be of the size of 131104 bytes on 64 bit machines. In hex: 131104 = 0x20020, and since the kernel allocates generic memory in powers of two, the kernel would allocate 0x40000 or 262144 bytes to store this structure. That leaves 131040 bytes of wasted space. Worse, the structure points to an allocated array to store the comm names, which is 16 bytes times the amount of names to save (currently 128), which is 2048 bytes. Instead of allocating a separate array, make the structure end with a variable length string and use the extra space for that. This is similar to a recommendation that Linus had made about eventfs_inode names: https://lore.kernel.org/all/20240130190355.11486-5-torvalds@linux-foundation.org/ Instead of allocating a separate string array to hold the saved comms, have the structure end with: char saved_cmdlines[]; and round up to the next power of two over sizeof(struct saved_cmdline_buffers) + num_cmdlines * TASK_COMM_LEN It will use this extra space for the saved_cmdline portion. Now, instead of saving only 128 comms by default, by using this wasted space at the end of the structure it can save over 8000 comms and even saves space by removing the need for allocating the other array.

hrtimer: Report offline hrtimer enqueue

commit dad6a09f3148257ac1773cd90934d721d68ab595 upstream. The hrtimers migration on CPU-down hotplug process has been moved earlier, before the CPU actually goes to die. This leaves a small window of opportunity to queue an hrtimer in a blind spot, leaving it ignored. For example a practical case has been reported with RCU waking up a SCHED_FIFO task right before the CPUHP_AP_IDLE_DEAD stage, queuing that way a sched/rt timer to the local offline CPU. Make sure such situations never go unnoticed and warn when that happens. Fixes: 5c0930ccaad5 ("hrtimers: Push pending hrtimers away from outgoing CPU earlier") Reported-by: Paul E.
