[ Upstream commit 156ec6f42b8d300dbbf382738ff35c8bad8f4c3a ]

Hung tasks and RCU stall cases were reported on systems which were not
100% busy. Investigation of such unexpected cases (no sign of potential
starvation caused by tasks hogging the system) pointed out that the
periodic sched tick timer wasn't serviced anymore after a certain point
and that caused all machinery that depends on it (timers, RCU, etc.) to
stop working as well. This issues was however only reproducible if
HRTICK was enabled.

Looking at core dumps it was found that the rbtree of the hrtimer base
used also for the hrtick was corrupted (i.e. next as seen from the base
root and actual leftmost obtained by traversing the tree are different).
Same base is also used for periodic tick hrtimer, which might get "lost"
if the rbtree gets corrupted.

Much alike what described in commit 1f71addd34f4c ("tick/sched: Do not
mess with an enqueued hrtimer") there is a race window between
hrtimer_set_expires() in hrtick_start and hrtimer_start_expires() in
__hrtick_restart() in which the former might be operating on an already
queued hrtick hrtimer, which might lead to corruption of the base.

Use hrtick_start() (which removes the timer before enqueuing it back) to
ensure hrtick hrtimer reprogramming is entirely guarded by the base
lock, so that no race conditions can occur.

<title>sched/core: Allow try_invoke_on_locked_down_task() with irqs disabled</title>

commit 1b7af295541d75535374325fd617944534853919 upstream.

The try_invoke_on_locked_down_task() function currently requires
that interrupts be enabled, but it is called with interrupts
disabled from rcu_print_task_stall(), resulting in an "IRQs not
enabled as expected" diagnostic.  This commit therefore updates
try_invoke_on_locked_down_task() to use raw_spin_lock_irqsave() instead
of raw_spin_lock_irq(), thus allowing use from either context.

<title>kgdb: fix to kill breakpoints on initmem after boot</title>

commit d54ce6158e354f5358a547b96299ecd7f3725393 upstream.

Currently breakpoints in kernel .init.text section are not handled
correctly while allowing to remove them even after corresponding pages
have been freed.

Fix it via killing .init.text section breakpoints just prior to initmem
pages being freed.

Doug: "HW breakpoints aren't handled by this patch but it's probably
not such a big deal".

<title>kcmp: Support selection of SYS_kcmp without CHECKPOINT_RESTORE</title>

<content type='text'>
commit bfe3911a91047557eb0e620f95a370aee6a248c7 upstream.

Userspace has discovered the functionality offered by SYS_kcmp and has
started to depend upon it. In particular, Mesa uses SYS_kcmp for
os_same_file_description() in order to identify when two fd (e.g. device
or dmabuf) point to the same struct file. Since they depend on it for
core functionality, lift SYS_kcmp out of the non-default
CONFIG_CHECKPOINT_RESTORE into the selectable syscall category.

Rasmus Villemoes also pointed out that systemd uses SYS_kcmp to
deduplicate the per-service file descriptor store.

Note that some distributions such as Ubuntu are already enabling
CHECKPOINT_RESTORE in their configs and so, by extension, SYS_kcmp.

commit 8a8109f303e25a27f92c1d8edd67d7cbbc60a4eb upstream.

printk_safe_flush_on_panic() caused the following deadlock on our
server:

CPU0:                                         CPU1:
panic                                         rcu_dump_cpu_stacks
  kdump_nmi_shootdown_cpus                      nmi_trigger_cpumask_backtrace
    register_nmi_handler(crash_nmi_callback)      printk_safe_flush
                                                    __printk_safe_flush
                                                      raw_spin_lock_irqsave(&amp;read_lock)
    // send NMI to other processors
    apic_send_IPI_allbutself(NMI_VECTOR)
                                                        // NMI interrupt, dead loop
                                                        crash_nmi_callback
  printk_safe_flush_on_panic
    printk_safe_flush
      __printk_safe_flush
        // deadlock
        raw_spin_lock_irqsave(&amp;read_lock)

DEADLOCK: read_lock is taken on CPU1 and will never get released.

It happens when panic() stops a CPU by NMI while it has been in
the middle of printk_safe_flush().

Handle the lock the same way as logbuf_lock. The printk_safe buffers
are flushed only when both locks can be safely taken. It can avoid
the deadlock _in this particular case_ at expense of losing contents
of printk_safe buffers.

Note: It would actually be safe to re-init the locks when all CPUs were
      stopped by NMI. But it would require passing this information
      from arch-specific code. It is not worth the complexity.
      Especially because logbuf_lock and printk_safe buffers have been
      obsoleted by the lockless ring buffer.

commit ebfac7b778fac8b0e8e92ec91d0b055f046b4604 upstream.

clang-12 -fno-pic (since
https://github.com/llvm/llvm-project/commit/a084c0388e2a59b9556f2de0083333232da3f1d6)
can emit `call __stack_chk_fail@PLT` instead of `call __stack_chk_fail`
on x86.  The two forms should have identical behaviors on x86-64 but the
former causes GNU as&lt;2.37 to produce an unreferenced undefined symbol
_GLOBAL_OFFSET_TABLE_.

(On x86-32, there is an R_386_PC32 vs R_386_PLT32 difference but the
linker behavior is identical as far as Linux kernel is concerned.)

Simply ignore _GLOBAL_OFFSET_TABLE_ for now, like what
scripts/mod/modpost.c:ignore_undef_symbol does. This also fixes the
problem for gcc/clang -fpie and -fpic, which may emit `call foo@PLT` for
external function calls on x86.

Note: ld -z defs and dynamic loaders do not error for unreferenced
undefined symbols so the module loader is reading too much.  If we ever
need to ignore more symbols, the code should be refactored to ignore
unreferenced symbols.

<title>kprobes: Fix to delay the kprobes jump optimization</title>

commit c85c9a2c6e368dc94907e63babb18a9788e5c9b6 upstream.

Commit 36dadef23fcc ("kprobes: Init kprobes in early_initcall")
moved the kprobe setup in early_initcall(), which includes kprobe
jump optimization.
The kprobes jump optimizer involves synchronize_rcu_tasks() which
depends on the ksoftirqd and rcu_spawn_tasks_*(). However, since
those are setup in core_initcall(), kprobes jump optimizer can not
run at the early_initcall().

To avoid this issue, make the kprobe optimization disabled in the
early_initcall() and enables it in subsys_initcall().

Note that non-optimized kprobes is still available after
early_initcall(). Only jump optimization is delayed.

commit 4ae7dc97f726ea95c58ac58af71cc034ad22d7de upstream.

Following the idle loop model, cleanly check for pending rcuog wakeup
before the last rescheduling point upon resuming to guest mode. This
way we can avoid to do it from rcu_user_enter() with the last resort
self-IPI hack that enforces rescheduling.

<title>rcu/nocb: Trigger self-IPI on late deferred wake up before user resume</title>

commit f8bb5cae9616224a39cbb399de382d36ac41df10 upstream.

Entering RCU idle mode may cause a deferred wake up of an RCU NOCB_GP
kthread (rcuog) to be serviced.

Unfortunately the call to rcu_user_enter() is already past the last
rescheduling opportunity before we resume to userspace or to guest mode.
We may escape there with the woken task ignored.

The ultimate resort to fix every callsites is to trigger a self-IPI
(nohz_full depends on arch to implement arch_irq_work_raise()) that will
trigger a reschedule on IRQ tail or guest exit.

Eventually every site that want a saner treatment will need to carefully
place a call to rcu_nocb_flush_deferred_wakeup() before the last explicit
need_resched() check upon resume.
