2025-02-05srcu: Add FORCE_NEED_SRCU_NMI_SAFE Kconfig for testingPaul E. McKenney
The srcu_read_lock_nmisafe() and srcu_read_unlock_nmisafe() functions map to __srcu_read_lock() and __srcu_read_unlock() on systems like x86 that have NMI-safe this_cpu_inc() operations. This makes the underlying __srcu_read_lock_nmisafe() and __srcu_read_unlock_nmisafe() functions difficult to test on (for example) x86 systems, allowing bugs to creep in. This commit therefore creates a FORCE_NEED_SRCU_NMI_SAFE Kconfig that forces those underlying functions to be used even on systems where they are not needed, thus providing better testing coverage.

2025-02-05rcutorture: Complain when invalid SRCU reader_flavor is specifiedPaul E. McKenney
Currently, rcutorture ignores reader_flavor bits that are not in the SRCU_READ_FLAVOR_ALL bitmask, which could confuse rcutorture users into believing buggy patches had been fully tested. This commit therefore produces a splat in this case. Signed-off-by: Paul E. McKenney <paulmck@kernel.org> Signed-off-by: Boqun Feng <boqun.feng@gmail.com>

2025-02-05rcutorture: Make cur_ops->format_gp_seqs take buffer lengthPaul E. McKenney
The Tree and Tiny implementations of rcutorture_format_gp_seqs() use hard-coded constants for the length of the buffer that they format into. This is of course an accident waiting to happen, so this commit therefore makes them take a length argument. The rcutorture calling code uses ARRAY_SIZE() to safely compute this new argument.

2025-02-05rcutorture: Expand failure/close-call grace-period outputPaul E. McKenney
With only eight bits per grace-period sequence number, wrap can happen in 64 grace periods. This commit therefore increases this to sixteen bits for normal grace-period sequence numbers and the combined short-form polling sequence numbers, thus deferring wrap for at least 16,384 grace periods. Because expedited grace periods go faster, expand these to 24 bits, deferring wrap for at least 4,194,304 expedited grace periods. These longer wrap times makes it easier to correlate these numbers to trace-event output. Note that the low-order two bits are reserved for intra-grace-period state, hence the above wrap numbers being a factor of four smaller than you might expect. Signed-off-by: Paul E.

2025-02-05rcutorture: Include grace-period sequence numbers in failure/close-callPaul E. McKenney
This commit includes the grace-period sequence numbers at the beginning and end of each segment in the "Failure/close-call rcutorture reader segments" list. These are in hexadecimal, and only the bottom byte. Currently, only RCU is supported, with its three sequence numbers (normal, expedited, and polled). Note that if all the grace-period sequence numbers remain the same across a given reader segment, only one copy of the number will be printed. Of course, if there is a change, both sets of values will be printed. Because the overhead of collecting this information can suppress heisenbugs, this information is collected and printed only in kernels built with CONFIG_RCU_TORTURE_TEST_LOG_GP=y.

2025-02-05rcutorture: Add a test_boost_holdoff module parameterPaul E. McKenney
This commit adds a test_boost_holdoff module parameter that tells the RCU priority-boosting tests to wait for the specified number of seconds past the start of the rcutorture test. This can be useful when rcutorture is built into the kernel (as opposed to being modprobed), especially on large systems where early start of RCU priority boosting can delay the boot sequence, which adds a full CPU's worth of load onto the system. This can in turn result in pointless stall warnings. Signed-off-by: Paul E. McKenney <paulmck@kernel.org> Signed-off-by: Boqun Feng <boqun.feng@gmail.com>

This commit adds a get_torture_init_jiffies() function that returns the value of the jiffies counter at the start of the test, that is, at the point where torture_init_begin() was invoked. This will be used to enable torture-test holdoffs for tests implemented using per-CPU kthreads, which are created and deleted by CPU-hotplug operations, and thus (unlike normal kthreads) don't automatically know when the test started.

2025-02-05srcu: Force synchronization for srcu_get_delay()Paul E. McKenney
Currently, srcu_get_delay() can be called concurrently, for example, by a CPU that is the first to request a new grace period and the CPU processing the current grace period. Although concurrent access is harmless, it unnecessarily expands the state space. Additionally, all calls to srcu_get_delay() are from slow paths. This commit therefore protects all calls to srcu_get_delay() with ssp->srcu_sup->lock, which is already held on the invocation from the srcu_funnel_gp_start() function. While in the area, this commit also adds a lockdep_assert_held() to srcu_get_delay() itself. Reported-by: syzbot+16a19b06125a2963eaee@syzkaller.appspotmail.com Signed-off-by: Paul E.

2025-02-05rcu: handle quiescent states for PREEMPT_RCU=n, PREEMPT_COUNT=yAnkur Arora
With PREEMPT_RCU=n, cond_resched() provides urgently needed quiescent states for read-side critical sections via rcu_all_qs(). One reason why this was needed: lacking preempt-count, the tick handler has no way of knowing whether it is executing in a read-side critical section or not. With (PREEMPT_LAZY=y, PREEMPT_DYNAMIC=n), we get (PREEMPT_COUNT=y, PREEMPT_RCU=n). In this configuration cond_resched() is a stub and does not provide quiescent states via rcu_all_qs(). (PREEMPT_RCU=y provides this information via rcu_read_unlock() and its nesting counter.) So, use the availability of preempt_count() to report quiescent states in rcu_flavor_sched_clock_irq().

2025-02-05pidfd: add PIDFD_SELF* sentinels to refer to own thread/processLorenzo Stoakes
It is useful to be able to utilise the pidfd mechanism to reference the current thread or process (from a userland point of view - thread group leader from the kernel's point of view). Therefore introduce PIDFD_SELF_THREAD to refer to the current thread, and PIDFD_SELF_THREAD_GROUP to refer to the current thread group leader. For convenience and to avoid confusion from userland's perspective we alias these: * PIDFD_SELF is an alias for PIDFD_SELF_THREAD - This is nearly always what the user will want to use, as they would find it surprising if for instance fd's were unshared()'d and they wanted to invoke pidfd_getfd() and that failed. * PIDFD_SELF_PROCESS is an alias for PIDFD_SELF_THREAD_GROUP - Most users have no concept of thread groups or what a thread group leader is, and from userland's perspective and nomenclature this is what userland considers to be a process. We adjust pidfd_get_task() and the pidfd_send_signal() system call with specific handling for this, implementing this functionality for process_madvise(), process_mrelease() (albeit, using it here wouldn't really make sense) and pidfd_send_signal().

2025-02-05rcu, slab: use a regular callback function for kvfree_rcuVlastimil Babka
RCU has been special-casing callback function pointers that are integers lower than 4096 as offsets of rcu_head for kvfree() instead. The tree RCU implementation no longer does that as the batched kvfree_rcu() is not a simple call_rcu(). The tiny RCU still does, and the plan is also to make tree RCU use call_rcu() for SLUB_TINY configurations. Instead of teaching tree RCU again to special case the offsets, let's remove the special casing completely. Since there's no SLOB anymore, it is possible to create a callback function that can take a pointer to a middle of slab object with unknown offset and determine the object's pointer before freeing it, so implement that as kvfree_rcu_cb(). Large kmalloc and vmalloc allocations are handled simply by aligning down to page size. For that we retain the requirement that the offset is smaller than 4096. But we can remove __is_kvfree_rcu_offset() completely and instead just opencode the condition in the BUILD_BUG_ON() check.

2025-02-04rcu: Remove READ_ONCE() for rdp->gpwrap access in __note_gp_changes()Zilin Guan
There is one access to the per-CPU rdp->gpwrap field in the __note_gp_changes() function that does not use READ_ONCE(), but all other accesses do use READ_ONCE(). When using the 8*TREE03 and CONFIG_NR_CPUS=8 configuration, KCSAN found no data races at that point. This is because all calls to __note_gp_changes() hold rnp->lock, which excludes writes to the rdp->gpwrap fields for all CPUs associated with that same leaf rcu_node structure. This commit therefore removes READ_ONCE() from rdp->gpwrap accesses within the __note_gp_changes() function. Signed-off-by: Zilin Guan <zilinguan811@gmail.com> Signed-off-by: Paul E.

git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/tip/tip Pull timer fixes from Thomas Gleixner: - Properly cast the input to secs_to_jiffies() to unsigned long as otherwise the result uses the data type of the input variable, which causes result range checks to fail if the input data type is signed and smaller than unsigned long. - Handle late armed hrtimers gracefully on CPU hotplug There are legitimate cases where a hrtimer is (re)armed on an outgoing CPU after the timers have been migrated away. This triggers warnings and caused people to implement horrible workarounds in RCU. But those workarounds are incomplete and do not cover e.g. the scheduler hrtimers. Stop this by force moving timer which are enqueued on the current CPU after timer migration to be queued on a remote online CPU. This allows to undo the workarounds in a seperate step. - Demote a warning level printk() to info level in the clocksource watchdog code as there is no point to emit a warning level message for a purely informational message. - Mark a helper function __always_inline and move it into the existing #ifdef block to avoid 'unused function' warnings from CLANG * tag 'timers-urgent-2025-02-03' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/tip/tip: jiffies: Cast to unsigned long in secs_to_jiffies() conversion clocksource: Use pr_info() for "Checking clocksource synchronization" message hrtimers: Force migrate away hrtimers queued after CPUHP_AP_HRTIMERS_DYING hrtimers: Mark is_migration_base() with __always_inline
2025-02-03clocksource: Use migrate_disable() to avoid calling get_random_u32() in ↵Waiman Long
atomic context The following bug report happened with a PREEMPT_RT kernel: BUG: sleeping function called from invalid context at kernel/locking/spinlock_rt.c:48 in_atomic(): 1, irqs_disabled(): 0, non_block: 0, pid: 2012, name: kwatchdog preempt_count: 1, expected: 0 RCU nest depth: 0, expected: 0 get_random_u32+0x4f/0x110 clocksource_verify_choose_cpus+0xab/0x1a0 clocksource_verify_percpu.part.0+0x6b/0x330 clocksource_watchdog_kthread+0x193/0x1a0 It is due to the fact that clocksource_verify_choose_cpus() is invoked with preemption disabled. This function invokes get_random_u32() to obtain random numbers for choosing CPUs. The batched_entropy_32 local lock and/or the base_crng.lock spinlock in driver/char/random.c will be acquired during the call. In PREEMPT_RT kernel, they are both sleeping locks and so cannot be acquired in atomic context. Fix this problem by using migrate_disable() to allow smp_processor_id() to be reliably used without introducing atomic context. preempt_disable() is then called after clocksource_verify_choose_cpus() but before the clocksource measurement is being run to avoid introducing unexpected latency.

2025-02-03bpf: Use kallsyms to find the function name of a struct_ops's stub functionMartin KaFai Lau
In commit 1611603537a4 ("bpf: Create argument information for nullable arguments."), it introduced a "__nullable" tagging at the argument name of a stub function. Some background on the commit: it requires to tag the stub function instead of directly tagging the "ops" of a struct. This is because the btf func_proto of the "ops" does not have the argument name and the "__nullable" is tagged at the argument name. To find the stub function of a "ops", it currently relies on a naming convention on the stub function "st_ops__ops_name". e.g. tcp_congestion_ops__ssthresh. However, the new kernel sub system implementing bpf_struct_ops have missed this and have been surprised that the "__nullable" and the to-be-landed "__ref" tagging was not effective. One option would be to give a warning whenever the stub function does not follow the naming convention, regardless if it requires arg tagging or not. Instead, this patch uses the kallsyms_lookup approach and removes the requirement on the naming convention. The st_ops->cfi_stubs has all the stub function kernel addresses. kallsyms_lookup() is used to lookup the function name. With the function name, BTF can be used to find the BTF func_proto. The existing "__nullable" arg name searching logic will then fall through. One notable change is, if it failed in kallsyms_lookup or it failed in looking up the stub function name from the BTF, the bpf_struct_ops registration will fail. This is different from the previous behavior that it silently ignored the "st_ops__ops_name" function not found error. The "tcp_congestion_ops", "sched_ext_ops", and "hid_bpf_ops" can still be registered successfully after this patch. There is struct_ops_maybe_null selftest to cover the "__nullable" tagging. Other minor changes: 1. Removed the "%s__%s" format from the pr_warn because the naming convention is removed. 2. The existing bpf_struct_ops_supported() is also moved earlier because prepare_arg_info needs to use it to decide if the stub function is NULL before calling the prepare_arg_info.
