commit ce48c146495a1a50e48cdbfbfaba3e708be7c07c upstream

Tejun reported the following cpu-hotplug lock (percpu-rwsem) read recursion:

  tg_set_cfs_bandwidth()
    get_online_cpus()
      cpus_read_lock()

    cfs_bandwidth_usage_inc()
      static_key_slow_inc()
        cpus_read_lock()

<title>jump_label: Invoke jump_label_test() via early_initcall()</title>

[ Upstream commit 92ee46efeb505ead3ab06d3c5ce695637ed5f152 ]

Fengguang Wu reported that running the rcuperf test during boot can cause
the jump_label_test() to hit a WARN_ON(). The issue is that the core jump
label code relies on kernel_text_address() to detect when it can no longer
update branches that may be contained in __init sections. The
kernel_text_address() in turn assumes that if the system_state variable is
greter than or equal to SYSTEM_RUNNING then __init sections are no longer
valid (since the assumption is that they have been freed). However, when
rcuperf is setup to run in early boot it can call kernel_power_off() which
sets the system_state to SYSTEM_POWER_OFF.

Since rcuperf initialization is invoked via a module_init(), we can make
the dependency of jump_label_test() needing to complete before rcuperf
explicit by calling it via early_initcall().

As using the normal static key API under the hotplug lock is
pretty much impossible, let's provide a variant of some of them
that require the hotplug lock to have already been taken.

These function are only meant to be used in CPU hotplug callbacks.

In order to later introduce an "already locked" version of some
of the static key funcions, let's split the code into the core stuff
(the *_cpuslocked functions) and the usual helpers, which now
take/release the hotplug lock and call into the _cpuslocked
versions.

static_key_enable/disable are trying to cap the static key count to
0/1.  However, their use of key-&gt;enabled is outside jump_label_lock
so they do not really ensure that.

Rewrite them to do a quick check for an already enabled (respectively,
already disabled), and then recheck under the jump label lock.  Unlike
static_key_slow_inc/dec, a failed check under the jump label lock does
not modify key-&gt;enabled.

The conversion of the hotplug locking to a percpu rwsem unearthed lock
ordering issues all over the place.

The jump_label code has two issues:

 1) Nested get_online_cpus() invocations

 2) Ordering problems vs. the cpus rwsem and the jump_label_mutex

To cure these, the following lock order has been established;

   cpus_rwsem -&gt; jump_label_lock -&gt; text_mutex

Even if not all architectures need protection against CPU hotplug, taking
cpus_rwsem before jump_label_lock is now mandatory in code pathes which
actually modify code and therefor need text_mutex protection.

Move the get_online_cpus() invocations into the core jump label code and
establish the proper lock order where required.

<title>jump_label: Reduce the size of struct static_key</title>

The static_key-&gt;next field goes mostly unused. The field is used for
associating module uses with a static key. Most uses of struct static_key
define a static key in the core kernel and make use of it entirely within
the core kernel, or define the static key in a module and make use of it
only from within that module. In fact, of the ~3,000 static keys defined,
I found only about 5 or so that did not fit this pattern.

Thus, we can remove the static_key-&gt;next field entirely and overload
the static_key-&gt;entries field. That is, when all the static_key uses
are contained within the same module, static_key-&gt;entries continues
to point to those uses. However, if the static_key uses are not contained
within the module where the static_key is defined, then we allocate a
struct static_key_mod, store a pointer to the uses within that
struct static_key_mod, and have the static key point at the static_key_mod.
This does incur some extra memory usage when a static_key is used in a
module that does not define it, but since there are only a handful of such
cases there is a net savings.

In order to identify if the static_key-&gt;entries pointer contains a
struct static_key_mod or a struct jump_entry pointer, bit 1 of
static_key-&gt;entries is set to 1 if it points to a struct static_key_mod and
is 0 if it points to a struct jump_entry. We were already using bit 0 in a
similar way to store the initial value of the static_key. This does mean
that allocations of struct static_key_mod and that the struct jump_entry
tables need to be at least 4-byte aligned in memory. As far as I can tell
all arches meet this criteria.

For my .config, the patch increased the text by 778 bytes, but reduced
the data + bss size by 14912, for a net savings of 14,134 bytes.
