Merge tag 'trace-v6.7' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/trace/linux-trace

2023-11-03T17:41:18+00:00

Pull tracing updates from Steven Rostedt:

 - Remove eventfs_file descriptor

   This is the biggest change, and the second part of making eventfs
   create its files dynamically.

   In 6.6 the first part was added, and that maintained a one to one
   mapping between eventfs meta descriptors and the directories and file
   inodes and dentries that were dynamically created. The directories
   were represented by a eventfs_inode and the files were represented by
   a eventfs_file.

   In v6.7 the eventfs_file is removed. As all events have the same
   directory make up (sched_switch has an "enable", "id", "format", etc
   files), the handing of what files are underneath each leaf eventfs
   directory is moved back to the tracing subsystem via a callback.

   When an event is added to the eventfs, it registers an array of
   evenfs_entry's. These hold the names of the files and the callbacks
   to call when the file is referenced. The callback gets the name so
   that the same callback may be used by multiple files. The callback
   then supplies the filesystem_operations structure needed to create
   this file.

   This has brought the memory footprint of creating multiple eventfs
   instances down by 2 megs each!

 - User events now has persistent events that are not associated to a
   single processes. These are privileged events that hang around even
   if no process is attached to them

 - Clean up of seq_buf

   There's talk about using seq_buf more to replace strscpy() and
   friends. But this also requires some minor modifications of seq_buf
   to be able to do this

 - Expand instance ring buffers individually

   Currently if boot up creates an instance, and a trace event is
   enabled on that instance, the ring buffer for that instance and the
   top level ring buffer are expanded (1.4 MB per CPU). This wastes
   memory as this happens when nothing is using the top level instance

A bisect pointed to the breakage beginning with commit 9fee28baa601 ("powerpc:
implement the new page table range API").

Analysis of the oops pointed to a struct page with a corrupted
compound_head being loaded via page_folio() -> _compound_head() in
hash_page_do_lazy_icache().

The access by the mpic code is to an MMIO address, so the expectation
is that the struct page for that address would be initialised by
init_unavailable_range(), as pointed out by Aneesh.

Instrumentation showed that was not the case, which eventually lead to
the realisation that pfn_valid() was returning false for that address,
causing the struct page to not be initialised.

Because the system is using FLATMEM, the version of pfn_valid() in
memory_model.h is used:

static inline int pfn_valid(unsigned long pfn)
{
	...
	return pfn >= pfn_offset && (pfn - pfn_offset) < max_mapnr;
}

Which relies on max_mapnr being initialised. Early in boot max_mapnr is
zero meaning no PFNs are valid.

max_mapnr is initialised in mem_init() called via:

  start_kernel()
    mm_core_init()  # init/main.c:928
      mem_init()

But that is too late for the usage in init_unavailable_range() called via:

  start_kernel()
    setup_arch()    # init/main.c:893
      paging_init()
        free_area_init()
          init_unavailable_range()

Although max_mapnr is currently set in mem_init(), the value is actually
already available much earlier, as soon as mem_topology_setup() has
completed, which is also before paging_init() is called. So move the
initialisation there, which causes paging_init() to correctly initialise
the struct page and fixes the bug.

This bug seems to have been lurking for years, but went unnoticed
because the pre-folio code was inspecting the uninitialised page->flags
but not dereferencing it.

Thanks to Erhard and Aneesh for help debugging.

vga16fb: drop powerpc support

2023-10-17T08:17:02+00:00

I noticed that commit 0db5b61e0dc07 ("fbdev/vga16fb: Create
EGA/VGA devices in sysfb code") broke vga16fb on non-x86 platforms,
because the sysfb code never creates a vga-framebuffer device when
screen_info.orig_video_isVGA is set to '1' instead of VIDEO_TYPE_VGAC.

However, it turns out that the only architecture that has allowed
building vga16fb in the past 20 years is powerpc, and this only worked
on two 32-bit platforms and never on 64-bit powerpc. The last machine
that actually used this was removed in linux-3.10, so this is all dead
code and can be removed.

The big-endian support in vga16fb.c could also be removed, but I'd just
leave this in place.

powerpc: Explicitly include correct DT includes

2023-08-02T12:22:19+00:00

The DT of_device.h and of_platform.h date back to the separate
of_platform_bus_type before it as merged into the regular platform bus.
As part of that merge prepping Arm DT support 13 years ago, they
"temporarily" include each other. They also include platform_device.h
and of.h. As a result, there's a pretty much random mix of those include
files used throughout the tree. In order to detangle these headers and
replace the implicit includes with struct declarations, users need to
explicitly include the correct includes.

powerpc: Account mm_cpumask and active_cpus in init_mm

2023-08-02T12:22:18+00:00

init_mm mm_cpumask and context.active_cpus is not maintained at boot
and hotplug. This seems to be harmless because init_mm does not have a
userspace and so never gets user TLBs flushed, but it looks odd and it
prevents some sanity checks being added.

Most probe functions do nothing else than checking whether
the machine is compatible to a given string.

Define that string in ppc_md structure and check it directly from
probe_machine() instead of using ppc_md.probe() for that.

Keep checking in ppc_md.probe() only for more complex probing.

powerpc/64: Move paca allocation to early_setup()

2023-02-10T11:19:56+00:00

The early paca and boot cpuid dance is complicated and currently does
not quite work as expected for boot cpuid != 0 cases.

early_init_devtree() currently allocates the paca_ptrs and boot cpuid
paca, but until that returns and early_setup() calls setup_paca(), this
thread is currently still executing with smp_processor_id() == 0.

One problem this causes is the paca_ptrs[smp_processor_id()] pointer is
poisoned, so valid_emergency_stack() (any backtrace) and any similar
users will crash.

Another is that the hardware id which is set here will not be returned
by get_hard_smp_processor_id(smp_processor_id()), but it would work
correctly for boot_cpuid == 0, which could lead to difficult to
reproduce or find bugs. The hard id does not seem to be used by the rest
of early_init_devtree(), it just looks like all this code might have
been put here to allocate somewhere to store boot CPU hardware id while
scanning the devtree.

Rearrange things so the hwid is put in a global variable like
boot_cpuid, and do all the paca allocation and boot paca setup in the
64-bit early_setup() after we have everything ready to go.

The paca_ptrs[0] re-poisoning code in early_setup does not seem to have
ever worked, because paca_ptrs[0] was never not-poisoned when boot_cpuid
is not 0.
