Revert "sched: Add wrapper for get_wchan() to keep task blocked"

2021-11-18T13:01:34+00:00

This reverts commit e9ede14c116f1a6246eee89d320d60a90a86b5d5 which is
commit 42a20f86dc19f9282d974df0ba4d226c865ab9dd upstream.

It has been reported to be causing problems, and is being reworked
upstream and has been dropped from the current 5.15.y stable queue until
it gets resolved.

sched: Add wrapper for get_wchan() to keep task blocked

2021-11-17T10:04:16+00:00

[ Upstream commit 42a20f86dc19f9282d974df0ba4d226c865ab9dd ]

Having a stable wchan means the process must be blocked and for it to
stay that way while performing stack unwinding.

csky: Fixup regs.sr broken in ptrace

2021-10-20T09:57:47+00:00

commit af89ebaa64de726ca0a39bbb0bf0c81a1f43ad50 upstream.

gpr_get() return the entire pt_regs (include sr) to userspace, if we
don't restore the C bit in gpr_set, it may break the ALU result in
that context. So the C flag bit is part of gpr context, that's why
riscv totally remove the C bit in the ISA. That makes sr reg clear
from userspace to supervisor privilege.

csky: don't let sigreturn play with priveleged bits of status register

2021-10-20T09:57:47+00:00

commit fbd63c08cdcca5fb1315aca3172b3c9c272cfb4f upstream.

csky restore_sigcontext() blindly overwrites regs->sr with the value
it finds in sigcontext.  Attacker can store whatever they want in there,
which includes things like S-bit.  Userland shouldn't be able to set
that, or anything other than C flag (bit 0).

Do the same thing other architectures with protected bits in flags
register do - preserve everything that shouldn't be settable in
user mode, picking the rest from the value saved is sigcontext.

Pull scheduler udpates from Ingo Molnar:

- Changes to core scheduling facilities:

- Add "Core Scheduling" via CONFIG_SCHED_CORE=y, which enables
coordinated scheduling across SMT siblings. This is a much
requested feature for cloud computing platforms, to allow the
flexible utilization of SMT siblings, without exposing untrusted
domains to information leaks & side channels, plus to ensure more
deterministic computing performance on SMT systems used by
heterogenous workloads.

There are new prctls to set core scheduling groups, which allows
more flexible management of workloads that can share siblings.

- Fix task->state access anti-patterns that may result in missed
wakeups and rename it to ->__state in the process to catch new
abuses.

- Load-balancing changes:

- Tweak newidle_balance for fair-sched, to improve 'memcache'-like
workloads.

- "Age" (decay) average idle time, to better track & improve
workloads such as 'tbench'.

- Fix & improve energy-aware (EAS) balancing logic & metrics.

- Fix & improve the uclamp metrics.

- Fix task migration (taskset) corner case on !CONFIG_CPUSET.

- Fix RT and deadline utilization tracking across policy changes

- Introduce a "burstable" CFS controller via cgroups, which allows
bursty CPU-bound workloads to borrow a bit against their future
quota to improve overall latencies & batching. Can be tweaked via
/sys/fs/cgroup/cpu//cpu.cfs_burst_us.

- Rework assymetric topology/capacity detection & handling.

- Scheduler statistics & tooling:

- Disable delayacct by default, but add a sysctl to enable it at
runtime if tooling needs it. Use static keys and other
optimizations to make it more palatable.

- Use sched_clock() in delayacct, instead of ktime_get_ns().

- Misc cleanups and fixes.

sched,arch: Remove unused TASK_STATE offsets

2021-06-18T09:43:09+00:00

All 6 architectures define TASK_STATE in asm-offsets, but then never
actually use it. Remove the definitions to make sure they never will.

kprobes: Do not increment probe miss count in the fault handler

2021-06-03T13:47:26+00:00

Kprobes has a counter 'nmissed', that is used to count the number of
times a probe handler was not called. This generally happens when we hit
a kprobe while handling another kprobe.

However, if one of the probe handlers causes a fault, we are currently
incrementing 'nmissed'. The comment in fault handler indicates that this
can be used to account faults taken by the probe handlers. But, this has
never been the intention as is evident from the comment above 'nmissed'
in 'struct kprobe':

	/*count the number of times this probe was temporarily disarmed */
	unsigned long nmissed;

kprobes: Remove kprobe::fault_handler

2021-06-01T14:00:08+00:00

The reason for kprobe::fault_handler(), as given by their comment:

 * We come here because instructions in the pre/post
 * handler caused the page_fault, this could happen
 * if handler tries to access user space by
 * copy_from_user(), get_user() etc. Let the
 * user-specified handler try to fix it first.

Is just plain bad. Those other handlers are ran from non-preemptible
context and had better use _nofault() functions. Also, there is no
upstream usage of this.
