commit 9a574ea9069be30b835a3da772c039993c43369b upstream.

Commit 71fee48f ("tick-sched: Fix idle and iowait sleeptime accounting vs
CPU hotplug") preserved total idle sleep time and iowait sleeptime across
CPU hotplug events.

Similar reasoning applies to the number of idle calls and idle sleeps to
get the proper average of sleep time per idle invocation.

Preserve those fields too.

commit 644649553508b9bacf0fc7a5bdc4f9e0165576a5 upstream.

There have been reports of the watchdog marking clocksources unstable on
machines with 8 NUMA nodes:

  clocksource: timekeeping watchdog on CPU373:
  Marking clocksource 'tsc' as unstable because the skew is too large:
  clocksource:   'hpet' wd_nsec: 14523447520
  clocksource:   'tsc'  cs_nsec: 14524115132

The measured clocksource skew - the absolute difference between cs_nsec
and wd_nsec - was 668 microseconds:

  cs_nsec - wd_nsec = 14524115132 - 14523447520 = 667612

The kernel used 200 microseconds for the uncertainty_margin of both the
clocksource and watchdog, resulting in a threshold of 400 microseconds (the
md variable). Both the cs_nsec and the wd_nsec value indicate that the
readout interval was circa 14.5 seconds.  The observed behaviour is that
watchdog checks failed for large readout intervals on 8 NUMA node
machines. This indicates that the size of the skew was directly proportinal
to the length of the readout interval on those machines. The measured
clocksource skew, 668 microseconds, was evaluated against a threshold (the
md variable) that is suited for readout intervals of roughly
WATCHDOG_INTERVAL, i.e. HZ &gt;&gt; 1, which is 0.5 second.

The intention of 2e27e793e280 ("clocksource: Reduce clocksource-skew
threshold") was to tighten the threshold for evaluating skew and set the
lower bound for the uncertainty_margin of clocksources to twice
WATCHDOG_MAX_SKEW. Later in c37e85c135ce ("clocksource: Loosen clocksource
watchdog constraints"), the WATCHDOG_MAX_SKEW constant was increased to
125 microseconds to fit the limit of NTP, which is able to use a
clocksource that suffers from up to 500 microseconds of skew per second.
Both the TSC and the HPET use default uncertainty_margin. When the
readout interval gets stretched the default uncertainty_margin is no
longer a suitable lower bound for evaluating skew - it imposes a limit
that is far stricter than the skew with which NTP can deal.

The root causes of the skew being directly proportinal to the length of
the readout interval are:

  * the inaccuracy of the shift/mult pairs of clocksources and the watchdog
  * the conversion to nanoseconds is imprecise for large readout intervals

Prevent this by skipping the current watchdog check if the readout
interval exceeds 2 * WATCHDOG_INTERVAL. Considering the maximum readout
interval of 2 * WATCHDOG_INTERVAL, the current default uncertainty margin
(of the TSC and HPET) corresponds to a limit on clocksource skew of 250
ppm (microseconds of skew per second).  To keep the limit imposed by NTP
(500 microseconds of skew per second) for all possible readout intervals,
the margins would have to be scaled so that the threshold value is
proportional to the length of the actual readout interval.

As for why the readout interval may get stretched: Since the watchdog is
executed in softirq context the expiration of the watchdog timer can get
severely delayed on account of a ksoftirqd thread not getting to run in a
timely manner. Surely, a system with such belated softirq execution is not
working well and the scheduling issue should be looked into but the
clocksource watchdog should be able to deal with it accordingly.

For a CONFIG_SPARSE_IRQ=n kernel, early_irq_init() is supposed to

It does except for irq_desc::resend_node, which ia only initialized for the

Use the indexed decriptor and not the base pointer to address that.

<title>futex: Prevent the reuse of stale pi_state</title>

[ Upstream commit e626cb02ee8399fd42c415e542d031d185783903 ]

Jiri Slaby reported a futex state inconsistency resulting in -EINVAL during
a lock operation for a PI futex. It requires that the a lock process is
interrupted by a timeout or signal:

  T1 Owns the futex in user space.

  T2 Tries to acquire the futex in kernel (futex_lock_pi()). Allocates a
     pi_state and attaches itself to it.

  T2 Times out and removes its rt_waiter from the rt_mutex. Drops the
     rtmutex lock and tries to acquire the hash bucket lock to remove
     the futex_q. The lock is contended and T2 schedules out.

  T1 Unlocks the futex (futex_unlock_pi()). Finds a futex_q but no
     rt_waiter. Unlocks the futex (do_uncontended) and makes it available
     to user space.

  T3 Acquires the futex in user space.

  T4 Tries to acquire the futex in kernel (futex_lock_pi()). Finds the
     existing futex_q of T2 and tries to attach itself to the existing
     pi_state.  This (attach_to_pi_state()) fails with -EINVAL because uval
     contains the TID of T3 but pi_state points to T1.

It's incorrect to unlock the futex and make it available for user space to
acquire as long as there is still an existing state attached to it in the
kernel.

T1 cannot hand over the futex to T2 because T2 already gave up and started
to clean up and is blocked on the hash bucket lock, so T2's futex_q with
the pi_state pointing to T1 is still queued.

T2 observes the futex_q, but ignores it as there is no waiter on the
corresponding rt_mutex and takes the uncontended path which allows the
subsequent caller of futex_lock_pi() (T4) to observe that stale state.

To prevent this the unlock path must dequeue all futex_q entries which
point to the same pi_state when there is no waiter on the rt mutex. This
requires obviously to make the dequeue conditional in the locking path to
prevent a double dequeue. With that it's guaranteed that user space cannot
observe an uncontended futex which has kernel state attached.

<title>rcu: Defer RCU kthreads wakeup when CPU is dying</title>

[ Upstream commit e787644caf7628ad3269c1fbd321c3255cf51710 ]

When the CPU goes idle for the last time during the CPU down hotplug
process, RCU reports a final quiescent state for the current CPU. If
this quiescent state propagates up to the top, some tasks may then be
woken up to complete the grace period: the main grace period kthread
and/or the expedited main workqueue (or kworker).

If those kthreads have a SCHED_FIFO policy, the wake up can indirectly
arm the RT bandwith timer to the local offline CPU. Since this happens
after hrtimers have been migrated at CPUHP_AP_HRTIMERS_DYING stage, the
timer gets ignored. Therefore if the RCU kthreads are waiting for RT
bandwidth to be available, they may never be actually scheduled.

This triggers TREE03 rcutorture hangs:

	 rcu: INFO: rcu_preempt self-detected stall on CPU
	 rcu:     4-...!: (1 GPs behind) idle=9874/1/0x4000000000000000 softirq=0/0 fqs=20 rcuc=21071 jiffies(starved)

The situation can't be solved with just unpinning the timer. The hrtimer
infrastructure and the nohz heuristics involved in finding the best
remote target for an unpinned timer would then also need to handle
enqueues from an offline CPU in the most horrendous way.

So fix this on the RCU side instead and defer the wake up to an online
CPU if it's too late for the local one.

The situation can't be solved with just unpinning the timer. The hrtimer
infrastructure and the nohz heuristics involved in finding the best
remote target for an unpinned timer would then also need to handle
enqueues from an offline CPU in the most horrendous way.

So fix this on the RCU side instead and defer the wake up to an online
CPU if it's too late for the local one.

[ Upstream commit 2b44760609e9eaafc9d234a6883d042fc21132a7 ]

Running the following two commands in parallel on a multi-processor
AArch64 machine can sporadically produce an unexpected warning about
duplicate histogram entries:

 $ while true; do
     echo hist:key=id.syscall:val=hitcount &gt; \
       /sys/kernel/debug/tracing/events/raw_syscalls/sys_enter/trigger
     cat /sys/kernel/debug/tracing/events/raw_syscalls/sys_enter/hist
     sleep 0.001
   done
 $ stress-ng --sysbadaddr $(nproc)

The warning looks as follows:

The problem appears to be caused by CPU reordering of writes issued from
__tracing_map_insert().

The check for the presence of an element with a given key in this
function is:

 val = READ_ONCE(entry-&gt;val);
 if (val &amp;&amp; keys_match(key, val-&gt;key, map-&gt;key_size)) ...

The write of a new entry is:

 elt = get_free_elt(map);
 memcpy(elt-&gt;key, key, map-&gt;key_size);
 entry-&gt;val = elt;

The "memcpy(elt-&gt;key, key, map-&gt;key_size);" and "entry-&gt;val = elt;"
stores may become visible in the reversed order on another CPU. This
second CPU might then incorrectly determine that a new key doesn't match
an already present val-&gt;key and subsequently insert a new element,
resulting in a duplicate.

Fix the problem by adding a write barrier between
"memcpy(elt-&gt;key, key, map-&gt;key_size);" and "entry-&gt;val = elt;", and for
good measure, also use WRITE_ONCE(entry-&gt;val, elt) for publishing the
element. The sequence pairs with the mentioned "READ_ONCE(entry-&gt;val);"
and the "val-&gt;key" check which has an address dependency.

The barrier is placed on a path executed when adding an element for
a new key. Subsequent updates targeting the same key remain unaffected.

From the user's perspective, the issue was introduced by commit
c193707dde77 ("tracing: Remove code which merges duplicates"), which
followed commit cbf4100efb8f ("tracing: Add support to detect and avoid
duplicates"). The previous code operated differently; it inherently
expected potential races which result in duplicates but merged them
later when they occurred.

<title>kexec: do syscore_shutdown() in kernel_kexec</title>

<id>61c8b879f9949aa98ecd1c390c48c2aa809996ee</id>
<content type='text'>
commit 7bb943806ff61e83ae4cceef8906b7fe52453e8a upstream.

syscore_shutdown() runs driver and module callbacks to get the system into
a state where it can be correctly shut down.  In commit 6f389a8f1dd2 ("PM
/ reboot: call syscore_shutdown() after disable_nonboot_cpus()")
syscore_shutdown() was removed from kernel_restart_prepare() and hence got
(incorrectly?) removed from the kexec flow.  This was innocuous until
commit 6735150b6997 ("KVM: Use syscore_ops instead of reboot_notifier to
hook restart/shutdown") changed the way that KVM registered its shutdown
callbacks, switching from reboot notifiers to syscore_ops.shutdown.  As
syscore_shutdown() is missing from kexec, KVM's shutdown hook is not run
and virtualisation is left enabled on the boot CPU which results in triple
faults when switching to the new kernel on Intel x86 VT-x with VMXE
enabled.

Fix this by adding syscore_shutdown() to the kexec sequence.  In terms of
where to add it, it is being added after migrating the kexec task to the
boot CPU, but before APs are shut down.  It is not totally clear if this
is the best place: in commit 6f389a8f1dd2 ("PM / reboot: call
syscore_shutdown() after disable_nonboot_cpus()") it is stated that
"syscore_ops operations should be carried with one CPU on-line and
interrupts disabled." APs are only offlined later in machine_shutdown(),
so this syscore_shutdown() is being run while APs are still online.  This
seems to be the correct place as it matches where syscore_shutdown() is
run in the reboot and halt flows - they also run it before APs are shut
down.  The assumption is that the commit message in commit 6f389a8f1dd2
("PM / reboot: call syscore_shutdown() after disable_nonboot_cpus()") is
no longer valid.

KVM has been discussed here as it is what broke loudly by not having
syscore_shutdown() in kexec, but this change impacts more than just KVM;
all drivers/modules which register a syscore_ops.shutdown callback will
now be invoked in the kexec flow.  Looking at some of them like x86 MCE it
is probably more correct to also shut these down during kexec.
Maintainers of all drivers which use syscore_ops.shutdown are added on CC
for visibility.  They are:

arch/powerpc/platforms/cell/spu_base.c  .shutdown = spu_shutdown,
arch/x86/kernel/cpu/mce/core.c	        .shutdown = mce_syscore_shutdown,
arch/x86/kernel/i8259.c                 .shutdown = i8259A_shutdown,
drivers/irqchip/irq-i8259.c	        .shutdown = i8259A_shutdown,
drivers/irqchip/irq-sun6i-r.c	        .shutdown = sun6i_r_intc_shutdown,
drivers/leds/trigger/ledtrig-cpu.c	.shutdown = ledtrig_cpu_syscore_shutdown,
drivers/power/reset/sc27xx-poweroff.c	.shutdown = sc27xx_poweroff_shutdown,
kernel/irq/generic-chip.c	        .shutdown = irq_gc_shutdown,
virt/kvm/kvm_main.c	                .shutdown = kvm_shutdown,

This has been tested by doing a kexec on x86_64 and aarch64.

commit 7bb943806ff61e83ae4cceef8906b7fe52453e8a upstream.

syscore_shutdown() runs driver and module callbacks to get the system into
a state where it can be correctly shut down.  In commit 6f389a8f1dd2 ("PM
/ reboot: call syscore_shutdown() after disable_nonboot_cpus()")
syscore_shutdown() was removed from kernel_restart_prepare() and hence got
(incorrectly?) removed from the kexec flow.  This was innocuous until
commit 6735150b6997 ("KVM: Use syscore_ops instead of reboot_notifier to
hook restart/shutdown") changed the way that KVM registered its shutdown
callbacks, switching from reboot notifiers to syscore_ops.shutdown.  As
syscore_shutdown() is missing from kexec, KVM's shutdown hook is not run
and virtualisation is left enabled on the boot CPU which results in triple
faults when switching to the new kernel on Intel x86 VT-x with VMXE
enabled.

Fix this by adding syscore_shutdown() to the kexec sequence.  In terms of
where to add it, it is being added after migrating the kexec task to the
boot CPU, but before APs are shut down.  It is not totally clear if this
is the best place: in commit 6f389a8f1dd2 ("PM / reboot: call
syscore_shutdown() after disable_nonboot_cpus()") it is stated that
"syscore_ops operations should be carried with one CPU on-line and
interrupts disabled." APs are only offlined later in machine_shutdown(),
so this syscore_shutdown() is being run while APs are still online.  This
seems to be the correct place as it matches where syscore_shutdown() is
run in the reboot and halt flows - they also run it before APs are shut
down.  The assumption is that the commit message in commit 6f389a8f1dd2
("PM / reboot: call syscore_shutdown() after disable_nonboot_cpus()") is
no longer valid.

KVM has been discussed here as it is what broke loudly by not having
syscore_shutdown() in kexec, but this change impacts more than just KVM;
all drivers/modules which register a syscore_ops.shutdown callback will
now be invoked in the kexec flow.  Looking at some of them like x86 MCE it
is probably more correct to also shut these down during kexec.
Maintainers of all drivers which use syscore_ops.shutdown are added on CC
for visibility.  They are:

arch/powerpc/platforms/cell/spu_base.c  .shutdown = spu_shutdown,
arch/x86/kernel/cpu/mce/core.c	        .shutdown = mce_syscore_shutdown,
arch/x86/kernel/i8259.c                 .shutdown = i8259A_shutdown,
drivers/irqchip/irq-i8259.c	        .shutdown = i8259A_shutdown,
drivers/irqchip/irq-sun6i-r.c	        .shutdown = sun6i_r_intc_shutdown,
drivers/leds/trigger/ledtrig-cpu.c	.shutdown = ledtrig_cpu_syscore_shutdown,
drivers/power/reset/sc27xx-poweroff.c	.shutdown = sc27xx_poweroff_shutdown,
kernel/irq/generic-chip.c	        .shutdown = irq_gc_shutdown,
virt/kvm/kvm_main.c	                .shutdown = kvm_shutdown,

This has been tested by doing a kexec on x86_64 and aarch64.

commit 4a693ce65b186fddc1a73621bd6f941e6e3eca21 upstream.

In /proc/iomem, sub-regions should be inserted after their parent,
otherwise the insertion of parent resource fails.  But after generic
crashkernel reservation applied, in both RISC-V and ARM64 (LoongArch will
also use generic reservation later on), crashkernel resources are inserted
before their parent, which causes the parent disappear in /proc/iomem.  So
we defer the insertion of crashkernel resources to an early_initcall().

<title>PM: hibernate: Enforce ordering during image compression/decompression</title>

commit 71cd7e80cfde548959952eac7063aeaea1f2e1c6 upstream.

An S4 (suspend to disk) test on the LoongArch 3A6000 platform sometimes
fails with the following error messaged in the dmesg log:

	Invalid LZO compressed length

That happens because when compressing/decompressing the image, the
synchronization between the control thread and the compress/decompress/crc
thread is based on a relaxed ordering interface, which is unreliable, and the
following situation may occur:

CPU 0					CPU 1
save_image_lzo				lzo_compress_threadfn
					  atomic_set(&amp;d-&gt;stop, 1);
  atomic_read(&amp;data[thr].stop)
  data[thr].cmp = data[thr].cmp_len;
	  				  WRITE data[thr].cmp_len

Then CPU0 gets a stale cmp_len and writes it to disk. During resume from S4,
wrong cmp_len is loaded.

To maintain data consistency between the two threads, use the acquire/release
variants of atomic set and read operations.

commit 7d4b5d7a37bdd63a5a3371b988744b060d5bb86f upstream.

In preparation for subsequent changes, introduce a specialized variant
of async_schedule_dev() that will not invoke the argument function
synchronously when it cannot be scheduled for asynchronous execution.

The new function, async_schedule_dev_nocall(), will be used for fixing
possible deadlocks in the system-wide power management core code.
