[ Upstream commit 46609ce227039fd192e0ecc7d940bed587fd2c78 ]

There is a report that when uclamp is enabled, a netperf UDP test
regresses compared to a kernel compiled without uclamp.

https://lore.kernel.org/lkml/20200529100806.GA3070@suse.de/

While investigating the root cause, there were no sign that the uclamp
code is doing anything particularly expensive but could suffer from bad
cache behavior under certain circumstances that are yet to be
understood.

https://lore.kernel.org/lkml/20200616110824.dgkkbyapn3io6wik@e107158-lin/

To reduce the pressure on the fast path anyway, add a static key that is
by default will skip executing uclamp logic in the
enqueue/dequeue_task() fast path until it's needed.

As soon as the user start using util clamp by:

	1. Changing uclamp value of a task with sched_setattr()
	2. Modifying the default sysctl_sched_util_clamp_{min, max}
	3. Modifying the default cpu.uclamp.{min, max} value in cgroup

We flip the static key now that the user has opted to use util clamp.
Effectively re-introducing uclamp logic in the enqueue/dequeue_task()
fast path. It stays on from that point forward until the next reboot.

This should help minimize the effect of util clamp on workloads that
don't need it but still allow distros to ship their kernels with uclamp
compiled in by default.

SCHED_WARN_ON() in uclamp_rq_dec_id() was removed since now we can end
up with unbalanced call to uclamp_rq_dec_id() if we flip the key while
a task is running in the rq. Since we know it is harmless we just
quietly return if we attempt a uclamp_rq_dec_id() when
rq-&gt;uclamp[].bucket[].tasks is 0.

In schedutil, we introduce a new uclamp_is_enabled() helper which takes
the static key into account to ensure RT boosting behavior is retained.

The following results demonstrates how this helps on 2 Sockets Xeon E5
2x10-Cores system.

commit 11990a5bd7e558e9203c1070fc52fb6f0488e75b upstream.

The only-root-readable /sys/module/$module/sections/$section files
did not truncate their output to the available buffer size. While most
paths into the kernfs read handlers end up using PAGE_SIZE buffers,
it's possible to get there through other paths (e.g. splice, sendfile).
Actually limit the output to the "count" passed into the read function,
and report it back correctly. *sigh*

<title>tracing: Use trace_sched_process_free() instead of exit() for pid tracing</title>

commit afcab636657421f7ebfa0783a91f90256bba0091 upstream.

On exit, if a process is preempted after the trace_sched_process_exit()
tracepoint but before the process is done exiting, then when it gets
scheduled in, the function tracers will not filter it properly against the
function tracing pid filters.

That is because the function tracing pid filters hooks to the
sched_process_exit() tracepoint to remove the exiting task's pid from the
filter list. Because the filtering happens at the sched_switch tracepoint,
when the exiting task schedules back in to finish up the exit, it will no
longer be in the function pid filtering tables.

This was noticeable in the notrace self tests on a preemptable kernel, as
the tests would fail as it exits and preempted after being taken off the
notrace filter table and on scheduling back in it would not be in the
notrace list, and then the ending of the exit function would trace. The test
detected this and would fail.

commit afcab636657421f7ebfa0783a91f90256bba0091 upstream.

On exit, if a process is preempted after the trace_sched_process_exit()
tracepoint but before the process is done exiting, then when it gets
scheduled in, the function tracers will not filter it properly against the
function tracing pid filters.

That is because the function tracing pid filters hooks to the
sched_process_exit() tracepoint to remove the exiting task's pid from the
filter list. Because the filtering happens at the sched_switch tracepoint,
when the exiting task schedules back in to finish up the exit, it will no
longer be in the function pid filtering tables.

This was noticeable in the notrace self tests on a preemptable kernel, as
the tests would fail as it exits and preempted after being taken off the
notrace filter table and on scheduling back in it would not be in the
notrace list, and then the ending of the exit function would trace. The test
detected this and would fail.

commit 96b4833b6827a62c295b149213c68b559514c929 upstream.

In calculation of the cpu mask for the hwlat kernel thread, the wrong
cpu mask is used instead of the tracing_cpumask, this causes the
tracing/tracing_cpumask useless for hwlat tracer. Fixes it.

commit 0cb2f1372baa60af8456388a574af6133edd7d80 upstream.

We found a case of kernel panic on our server. The stack trace is as
follows(omit some irrelevant information):

   ftrace_call+0x5/0x34
   tcpa_statistic_send+0x5/0x130 [ttcp_engine]

The tcpa_statistic_send is the function being kprobed. After analysis,
the root cause is that the fourth parameter regs of kprobe_ftrace_handler
is NULL. Why regs is NULL? We use the crash tool to analyze the kdump.

  crash&gt; dis tcpa_statistic_send -r
         &lt;tcpa_statistic_send&gt;: callq 0xffffffffbd8018c0 &lt;ftrace_caller&gt;

The tcpa_statistic_send calls ftrace_caller instead of ftrace_regs_caller.
So it is reasonable that the fourth parameter regs of kprobe_ftrace_handler
is NULL. In theory, we should call the ftrace_regs_caller instead of the
ftrace_caller. After in-depth analysis, we found a reproducible path.

  Writing a simple kernel module which starts a periodic timer. The
  timer's handler is named 'kprobe_test_timer_handler'. The module
  name is kprobe_test.ko.

  1) insmod kprobe_test.ko
  2) bpftrace -e 'kretprobe:kprobe_test_timer_handler {}'
  3) echo 0 &gt; /proc/sys/kernel/ftrace_enabled
  4) rmmod kprobe_test
  5) stop step 2) kprobe
  6) insmod kprobe_test.ko
  7) bpftrace -e 'kretprobe:kprobe_test_timer_handler {}'

We mark the kprobe as GONE but not disarm the kprobe in the step 4).
The step 5) also do not disarm the kprobe when unregister kprobe. So
we do not remove the ip from the filter. In this case, when the module
loads again in the step 6), we will replace the code to ftrace_caller
via the ftrace_module_enable(). When we register kprobe again, we will
not replace ftrace_caller to ftrace_regs_caller because the ftrace is
disabled in the step 3). So the step 7) will trigger kernel panic. Fix
this problem by disarming the kprobe when the module is going away.

<title>ftrace: Setup correct FTRACE_FL_REGS flags for module</title>

commit 8a224ffb3f52b0027f6b7279854c71a31c48fc97 upstream.

When module loaded and enabled, we will use __ftrace_replace_code
for module if any ftrace_ops referenced it found. But we will get
wrong ftrace_addr for module rec in ftrace_get_addr_new, because
rec-&gt;flags has not been setup correctly. It can cause the callback
function of a ftrace_ops has FTRACE_OPS_FL_SAVE_REGS to be called
with pt_regs set to NULL.
So setup correct FTRACE_FL_REGS flags for rec when we call
referenced_filters to find ftrace_ops references it.

<title>mm: fix kthread_use_mm() vs TLB invalidate</title>

<content type='text'>
commit 38cf307c1f2011d413750c5acb725456f47d9172 upstream.

For SMP systems using IPI based TLB invalidation, looking at
current-&gt;active_mm is entirely reasonable.  This then presents the
following race condition:

  CPU0			CPU1

  flush_tlb_mm(mm)	use_mm(mm)
    &lt;send-IPI&gt;
			  tsk-&gt;active_mm = mm;
			  &lt;IPI&gt;
			    if (tsk-&gt;active_mm == mm)
			      // flush TLBs
			  &lt;/IPI&gt;
			  switch_mm(old_mm,mm,tsk);

Where it is possible the IPI flushed the TLBs for @old_mm, not @mm,
because the IPI lands before we actually switched.

Avoid this by disabling IRQs across changing -&gt;active_mm and
switch_mm().

Of the (SMP) architectures that have IPI based TLB invalidate:

  Alpha    - checks active_mm
  ARC      - ASID specific
  IA64     - checks active_mm
  MIPS     - ASID specific flush
  OpenRISC - shoots down world
  PARISC   - shoots down world
  SH       - ASID specific
  SPARC    - ASID specific
  x86      - N/A
  xtensa   - checks active_mm

So at the very least Alpha, IA64 and Xtensa are suspect.

On top of this, for scheduler consistency we need at least preemption
disabled across changing tsk-&gt;mm and doing switch_mm(), which is
currently provided by task_lock(), but that's not sufficient for
PREEMPT_RT.

The sock counting (sock_update_netprioidx() and sock_update_classid())
was missing from pidfd's implementation of received fd installation. Add
a call to the new __receive_sock() helper.

commit 4969f8a073977123504609d7310b42a588297aa4 upstream.

The sock counting (sock_update_netprioidx() and sock_update_classid())
was missing from pidfd's implementation of received fd installation. Add
a call to the new __receive_sock() helper.
