commit 4c5ea0a9cd02d6aa8adc86e100b2a4cff8d614ff upstream.

The following scenario is possible:

    CPU 1                                   CPU 2
    static_key_slow_inc()
     atomic_inc_not_zero()
      -&gt; key.enabled == 0, no increment
     jump_label_lock()
     atomic_inc_return()
      -&gt; key.enabled == 1 now
                                            static_key_slow_inc()
                                             atomic_inc_not_zero()
                                              -&gt; key.enabled == 1, inc to 2
                                             return
                                            ** static key is wrong!
     jump_label_update()
     jump_label_unlock()

Testing the static key at the point marked by (**) will follow the
wrong path for jumps that have not been patched yet.  This can
actually happen when creating many KVM virtual machines with userspace
LAPIC emulation; just run several copies of the following program:

    #include &lt;fcntl.h&gt;
    #include &lt;unistd.h&gt;
    #include &lt;sys/ioctl.h&gt;
    #include &lt;linux/kvm.h&gt;

    int main(void)
    {
        for (;;) {
            int kvmfd = open("/dev/kvm", O_RDONLY);
            int vmfd = ioctl(kvmfd, KVM_CREATE_VM, 0);
            close(ioctl(vmfd, KVM_CREATE_VCPU, 1));
            close(vmfd);
            close(kvmfd);
        }
        return 0;
    }

Every KVM_CREATE_VCPU ioctl will attempt a static_key_slow_inc() call.
The static key's purpose is to skip NULL pointer checks and indeed one
of the processes eventually dereferences NULL.

As explained in the commit that introduced the bug:

  706249c222f6 ("locking/static_keys: Rework update logic")

jump_label_update() needs key.enabled to be true.  The solution adopted
here is to temporarily make key.enabled == -1, and use go down the
slow path when key.enabled &lt;= 0.

<title>locking/static_keys: Add a new static_key interface</title>

<content type='text'>
commit 11276d5306b8e5b438a36bbff855fe792d7eaa61 upstream.

There are various problems and short-comings with the current
static_key interface:

 - static_key_{true,false}() read like a branch depending on the key
   value, instead of the actual likely/unlikely branch depending on
   init value.

 - static_key_{true,false}() are, as stated above, tied to the
   static_key init values STATIC_KEY_INIT_{TRUE,FALSE}.

 - we're limited to the 2 (out of 4) possible options that compile to
   a default NOP because that's what our arch_static_branch() assembly
   emits.

So provide a new static_key interface:

  DEFINE_STATIC_KEY_TRUE(name);
  DEFINE_STATIC_KEY_FALSE(name);

Which define a key of different types with an initial true/false
value.

Then allow:

   static_branch_likely()
   static_branch_unlikely()

to take a key of either type and emit the right instruction for the
case.

This means adding a second arch_static_branch_jump() assembly helper
which emits a JMP per default.

In order to determine the right instruction for the right state,
encode the branch type in the LSB of jump_entry::key.

This is the final step in removing the naming confusion that has led to
a stream of avoidable bugs such as:

  a833581e372a ("x86, perf: Fix static_key bug in load_mm_cr4()")

... but it also allows new static key combinations that will give us
performance enhancements in the subsequent patches.

commit 706249c222f68471b6f8e9e8e9b77665c404b226 upstream.

Instead of spreading the branch_default logic all over the place,
concentrate it into the one jump_label_type() function.

This does mean we need to actually increment/decrement the enabled
count _before_ calling the update path, otherwise jump_label_type()
will not see the right state.

commit a1efb01feca597b2abbc89873b40ef8ec6690168 upstream.

Rename the JUMP_LABEL_TYPE_* macros to be JUMP_TYPE_* and move the
inline helpers into kernel/jump_label.c, since that's the only place
they're ever used.

Also rename the helpers where it's all about static keys.

This is the second step in removing the naming confusion that has led to

commit 76b235c6bcb16062d663e2ee96db0b69f2e6bc14 upstream.

Since we've already stepped away from ENABLE is a JMP and DISABLE is a
NOP with the branch_default bits, and are going to make it even worse,
rename it to make it all clearer.

This way we don't mix multiple levels of logic attributes, but have a
plain 'physical' name for what the current instruction patching status
of a jump label is.

This is a first step in removing the naming confusion that has led to
a stream of avoidable bugs such as:

  a833581e372a ("x86, perf: Fix static_key bug in load_mm_cr4()")

commit 76b235c6bcb16062d663e2ee96db0b69f2e6bc14 upstream.

Since we've already stepped away from ENABLE is a JMP and DISABLE is a
NOP with the branch_default bits, and are going to make it even worse,
rename it to make it all clearer.

This way we don't mix multiple levels of logic attributes, but have a
plain 'physical' name for what the current instruction patching status
of a jump label is.

This is a first step in removing the naming confusion that has led to
a stream of avoidable bugs such as:

  a833581e372a ("x86, perf: Fix static_key bug in load_mm_cr4()")

commit b6416e61012429e0277bd15a229222fd17afc1c1 upstream.

Modules that use static_key_deferred need a way to synchronize with
any delayed work that is still pending when the module is unloaded.
Introduce static_key_deferred_flush() which flushes any pending
jump label updates.

<title>static_key: WARN on usage before jump_label_init was called</title>

Usage of the static key primitives to toggle a branch must not be used
before jump_label_init() is called from init/main.c. jump_label_init
reorganizes and wires up the jump_entries so usage before that could
have unforeseen consequences.

Following primitives are now checked for correct use:
* static_key_slow_inc
* static_key_slow_dec
* static_key_slow_dec_deferred
* jump_label_rate_limit

The x86 architecture already checks this by testing if the default_nop
was already replaced with an optimal nop or with a branch instruction. It
will panic then. Other architectures don't check for this.

Because we need to relax this check for the x86 arch to allow code to
transition from default_nop to the enabled state and other architectures
did not check for this at all this patch introduces checking on the
static_key primitives in a non-arch dependent manner.

All checked functions are considered slow-path so the additional check
does no harm to performance.

The warnings are best observed with earlyprintk.

Based on a patch from Andi Kleen.

Commit b202952075f62603bea9bfb6ebc6b0420db11949 ("perf, core: Rate limit
perf_sched_events jump_label patching") introduced rate limiting
for jump label disabling. The changes were made in the jump label code
in order to be more widely available and to keep things tidier. This is
all fine, except now jump_label.h includes linux/workqueue.h, which
makes it impossible to include jump_label.h from anything that
workqueue.h needs. For example, it's now impossible to include
jump_label.h from asm/spinlock.h, which is done in proposed
pv-ticketlock patches. This patch splits out the rate limiting related
changes from jump_label.h into a new file, jump_label_ratelimit.h, to
resolve the issue.
