2025-07-09sched/psi: Optimize psi_group_change() cpu_clock() usagePeter Zijlstra
Dietmar reported that commit 3840cbe24cf0 ("sched: psi: fix bogus pressure spikes from aggregation race") caused a regression for him on a high context switch rate benchmark (schbench) due to the now repeating cpu_clock() calls. In particular the problem is that get_recent_times() will extrapolate the current state to 'now'. But if an update uses a timestamp from before the start of the update, it is possible to get two reads with inconsistent results. It is effectively back-dating an update. (note that this all hard-relies on the clock being synchronized across CPUs -- if this is not the case, all bets are off). Combine this problem with the fact that there are per-group-per-cpu seqcounts, the commit in question pushed the clock read into the group iteration, causing tree-depth cpu_clock() calls. On architectures where cpu_clock() has appreciable overhead, this hurts. Instead move to a per-cpu seqcount, which allows us to have a single clock read for all group updates, increasing internal consistency and lowering update overhead. This comes at the cost of a longer update side (proportional to the tree depth) which can cause the read side to retry more often.

2025-07-09sched/fair: Bump sd->max_newidle_lb_cost when newidle balance failsChris Mason
schbench (https://github.com/masoncl/schbench.git) is showing a regression from previous production kernels that bisected down to: sched/fair: Remove sysctl_sched_migration_cost condition (c5b0a7eefc) The schbench command line was: schbench -L -m 4 -M auto -t 256 -n 0 -r 0 -s 0 This creates 4 message threads pinned to CPUs 0-3, and 256x4 worker threads spread across the rest of the CPUs. Neither the worker threads or the message threads do any work, they just wake each other up and go back to sleep as soon as possible. The end result is the first 4 CPUs are pegged waking up those 1024 workers, and the rest of the CPUs are constantly banging in and out of idle. If I take a v6.9 Linus kernel and revert that one commit, performance goes from 3.4M RPS to 5.4M RPS. schedstat shows there are ~100x more new idle balance operations, and profiling shows the worker threads are spending ~20% of their CPU time on new idle balance. schedstats also shows that almost all of these new idle balance attemps are failing to find busy groups. The fix used here is to crank up the cost of the newidle balance whenever it fails. Since we don't want sd->max_newidle_lb_cost to grow out of control, this also changes update_newidle_cost() to use sysctl_sched_migration_cost as the upper limit on max_newidle_lb_cost.

2025-07-08tracing: Use queue_rcu_work() to free filtersSteven Rostedt
Freeing of filters requires to wait for both an RCU grace period as well as a RCU task trace wait period after they have been detached from their lists. The trace task period can be quite large so the freeing of the filters was moved to use the call_rcu*() routines. The problem with that is that the callback functions of call_rcu*() is done from a soft irq and can cause latencies if the callback takes a bit of time. The filters are freed per event in a system and the syscalls system contains an event per system call, which can be over 700 events. Freeing 700 filters in a bottom half is undesirable. Instead, move the freeing to use queue_rcu_work() which is done in task context.

2025-07-08module: Make sure relocations are applied to the per-CPU sectionSebastian Andrzej Siewior
The per-CPU data section is handled differently than the other sections. The memory allocations requires a special __percpu pointer and then the section is copied into the view of each CPU. Therefore the SHF_ALLOC flag is removed to ensure move_module() skips it. Later, relocations are applied and apply_relocations() skips sections without SHF_ALLOC because they have not been copied. This also skips the per-CPU data section. The missing relocations result in a NULL pointer on x86-64 and very small values on x86-32. This results in a crash because it is not skipped like NULL pointer would and can't be dereferenced. Such an assignment happens during static per-CPU lock initialisation with lockdep enabled. Allow relocation processing for the per-CPU section even if SHF_ALLOC is missing.

2025-07-08module: Fix memory deallocation on error path in move_module()Petr Pavlu
The function move_module() uses the variable t to track how many memory types it has allocated and consequently how many should be freed if an error occurs. The variable is initially set to 0 and is updated when a call to module_memory_alloc() fails. However, move_module() can fail for other reasons as well, in which case t remains set to 0 and no memory is freed. Fix the problem by initializing t to MOD_MEM_NUM_TYPES. Additionally, make the deallocation loop more robust by not relying on the mod_mem_type_t enum having a signed integer as its underlying type.

2025-07-08rcu/nocb: Fix possible invalid rdp's->nocb_cb_kthread pointer accessZqiang
In the preparation stage of CPU online, if the corresponding the rdp's->nocb_cb_kthread does not exist, will be created, there is a situation where the rdp's rcuop kthreads creation fails, and then de-offload this CPU's rdp, does not assign this CPU's rdp->nocb_cb_kthread pointer, but this rdp's->nocb_gp_rdp and rdp's->rdp_gp->nocb_gp_kthread is still valid. This will cause the subsequent re-offload operation of this offline CPU, which will pass the conditional check and the kthread_unpark() will access invalid rdp's->nocb_cb_kthread pointer. This commit therefore use rdp's->nocb_gp_kthread instead of rdp_gp's->nocb_gp_kthread for safety check.

2025-07-08rcu/exp: Warn on QS requested on dying CPUFrederic Weisbecker
It is not possible to send an IPI to a dying CPU that has passed the CPUHP_TEARDOWN_CPU stage. Remaining unhandled IPIs are handled later at CPUHP_AP_SMPCFD_DYING stage by stop machine. This is the last opportunity for RCU exp handler to request an expedited quiescent state. And the upcoming final context switch between stop machine and idle must have reported the requested context switch. Therefore, it should not be possible to observe a pending requested expedited quiescent state when RCU finally stops watching the outgoing CPU. Once IPIs aren't possible anymore, the QS for the target CPU will be reported on its behalf by the RCU exp kworker. Provide an assertion to verify those expectations. Reviewed-by: Paul E.

2025-07-08rcu/exp: Remove needless CPU up quiescent state reportFrederic Weisbecker
A CPU coming online checks for an ongoing grace period and reports a quiescent state accordingly if needed. This special treatment that shortcuts the expedited IPI finds its origin as an optimization purpose on the following commit: 338b0f760e84 (rcu: Better hotplug handling for synchronize_sched_expedited() The point is to avoid an IPI while waiting for a CPU to become online or failing to become offline. However this is pointless and even error prone for several reasons: * If the CPU has been seen offline in the first round scanning offline and idle CPUs, no IPI is even tried and the quiescent state is reported on behalf of the CPU. * This means that if the IPI fails, the CPU just became offline. So it's unlikely to become online right away, unless the cpu hotplug operation failed and rolled back, which is a rare event that can wait a jiffy for a new IPI to be issued. * But then the "optimization" applying on failing CPU hotplug down only applies to !PREEMPT_RCU. * This force reports a quiescent state even if ->cpu_no_qs.b.exp is not set. As a result it can race with remote QS reports on the same rdp. Fortunately it happens to be OK but an accident is waiting to happen. For all those reasons, remove this optimization that doesn't look worthy to keep around. Reported-by: Paul E.

2025-07-08rcu/exp: Remove confusing needless full barrier on task unblockFrederic Weisbecker
A full memory barrier in the RCU-PREEMPT task unblock path advertizes to order the context switch (or rather the accesses prior to rcu_read_unlock()) with the expedited grace period fastpath. However the grace period can not complete without the rnp calling into rcu_report_exp_rnp() with the node locked. This reports the quiescent state in a fully ordered fashion against updater's accesses thanks to: 1) The READ-SIDE smp_mb__after_unlock_lock() barrier across nodes locking while propagating QS up to the root. 2) The UPDATE-SIDE smp_mb__after_unlock_lock() barrier while holding the the root rnp to wait/check for the GP completion. 3) The (perhaps redundant given step 1) and 2)) smp_mb() in rcu_seq_end() before the grace period completes. This makes the explicit barrier in this place superfluous. Therefore remove it as it is confusing. Acked-by: Paul E.

2025-07-08fold fs_struct->{lock,seq} into a seqlockAl Viro
The combination of spinlock_t lock and seqcount_spinlock_t seq in struct fs_struct is an open-coded seqlock_t (see linux/seqlock_types.h). Combine and switch to equivalent seqlock_t primitives. AFAICS, that does end up with the same sequence of underlying operations in all cases. While we are at it, get_fs_pwd() is open-coded verbatim in get_path_from_fd(); rather than applying conversion to it, replace with the call of get_fs_pwd() there. Not worth splitting the commit for that, IMO... A bit of historical background - conversion of seqlock_t to use of seqcount_spinlock_t happened several months after the same had been done to struct fs_struct; switching fs_struct to seqlock_t could've been done immediately after that, but it looks like nobody had gotten around to that until now.

2025-07-04lib/crypto: sha256: Make library API use strongly-typed contextsEric Biggers
Currently the SHA-224 and SHA-256 library functions can be mixed arbitrarily, even in ways that are incorrect, for example using sha224_init() and sha256_final(). This is because they operate on the same structure, sha256_state. Introduce stronger typing, as I did for SHA-384 and SHA-512. Also as I did for SHA-384 and SHA-512, use the names *_ctx instead of *_state. The *_ctx names have the following small benefits: - They're shorter. - They avoid an ambiguity with the compression function state. - They're consistent with the well-known OpenSSL API. - Users usually name the variable 'sctx' anyway, which suggests that *_ctx would be the more natural name for the actual struct. Therefore: update the SHA-224 and SHA-256 APIs, implementation, and calling code accordingly. In the new structs, also strongly-type the compression function state.

2025-07-04watchdog/perf: Provide function for adjusting the event periodYicong Yang
Architecture's using perf events for hard lockup detection needs to convert the watchdog_thresh to the event's period, some architecture for example arm64 perform this conversion using the CPU's maximum frequency which will be acquired by cpufreq. However by the time the lockup detector's initialized the cpufreq driver may not be initialized, thus launch a watchdog with inaccurate period. Provide a function hardlockup_detector_perf_adjust_period() to allowing adjust the event period. Then architecture can update with more accurate period if cpufreq is initialized.

2025-07-04sched/deadline: Fix dl_server runtime calculation formulakuyo chang
In our testing with 6.12 based kernel on a big.LITTLE system, we were seeing instances of RT tasks being blocked from running on the LITTLE cpus for multiple seconds of time, apparently by the dl_server. This far exceeds the default configured 50ms per second runtime. This is due to the fair dl_server runtime calculation being scaled for frequency & capacity of the cpu. Consider the following case under a Big.LITTLE architecture: Assume the runtime is: 50,000,000 ns, and Frequency/capacity scale-invariance defined as below: Frequency scale-invariance: 100 Capacity scale-invariance: 50 First by Frequency scale-invariance, the runtime is scaled to 50,000,000 * 100 >> 10 = 4,882,812 Then by capacity scale-invariance, it is further scaled to 4,882,812 * 50 >> 10 = 238,418. So it will scaled to 238,418 ns. This smaller "accounted runtime" value is what ends up being subtracted against the fair-server's runtime for the current period. Thus after 50ms of real time, we've only accounted ~238us against the fair servers runtime. This 209:1 ratio in this example means that on the smaller cpu the fair server is allowed to continue running, blocking RT tasks, for over 10 seconds before it exhausts its supposed 50ms of runtime. And on other hardware configurations it can be even worse. For the fair deadline_server, to prevent realtime tasks from being unexpectedly delayed, we really do want to use fixed time, and not scaled time for smaller capacity/frequency cpus. So remove the scaling from the fair server's accounting to fix this.

2025-07-03bpf: Add function to find program from stack traceKumar Kartikeya Dwivedi
In preparation of figuring out the closest program that led to the current point in the kernel, implement a function that scans through the stack trace and finds out the closest BPF program when walking down the stack trace. Special care needs to be taken to skip over kernel and BPF subprog frames. We basically scan until we find a BPF main prog frame. The assumption is that if a program calls into us transitively, we'll hit it along the way. If not, we end up returning NULL. Contextually the function will be used in places where we know the program may have called into us. Due to reliance on arch_bpf_stack_walk(), this function only works on x86 with CONFIG_UNWINDER_ORC, arm64, and s390. Remove the warning from arch_bpf_stack_walk as well since we call it outside bpf_throw() context.

2025-07-03bpf: Introduce BPF standard streamsKumar Kartikeya Dwivedi
Add support for a stream API to the kernel and expose related kfuncs to BPF programs. Two streams are exposed, BPF_STDOUT and BPF_STDERR. These can be used for printing messages that can be consumed from user space, thus it's similar in spirit to existing trace_pipe interface. The kernel will use the BPF_STDERR stream to notify the program of any errors encountered at runtime. BPF programs themselves may use both streams for writing debug messages. BPF library-like code may use BPF_STDERR to print warnings or errors on misuse at runtime. The implementation of a stream is as follows. Everytime a message is emitted from the kernel (directly, or through a BPF program), a record is allocated by bump allocating from per-cpu region backed by a page obtained using alloc_pages_nolock(). This ensures that we can allocate memory from any context. The eventual plan is to discard this scheme in favor of Alexei's kmalloc_nolock() [0]. This record is then locklessly inserted into a list (llist_add()) so that the printing side doesn't require holding any locks, and works in any context. Each stream has a maximum capacity of 4MB of text, and each printed message is accounted against this limit. Messages from a program are emitted using the bpf_stream_vprintk kfunc, which takes a stream_id argument in addition to working otherwise similar to bpf_trace_vprintk. The bprintf buffer helpers are extracted out to be reused for printing the string into them before copying it into the stream, so that we can (with the defined max limit) format a string and know its true length before performing allocations of the stream element. For consuming elements from a stream, we expose a bpf(2) syscall command named BPF_PROG_STREAM_READ_BY_FD, which allows reading data from the stream of a given prog_fd into a user space buffer. The main logic is implemented in bpf_stream_read(). The log messages are queued in bpf_stream::log by the bpf_stream_vprintk kfunc, and then pulled and ordered correctly in the stream backlog. For this purpose, we hold a lock around bpf_stream_backlog_peek(), as llist_del_first() (if we maintained a second lockless list for the backlog) wouldn't be safe from multiple threads anyway. Then, if we fail to find something in the backlog log, we splice out everything from the lockless log, and place it in the backlog log, and then return the head of the backlog. Once the full length of the element is consumed, we will pop it and free it. The lockless list bpf_stream::log is a LIFO stack. Elements obtained using a llist_del_all() operation are in LIFO order, thus would break the chronological ordering if printed directly. Hence, this batch of messages is first reversed. Then, it is stashed into a separate list in the stream, i.e. the backlog_log. The head of this list is the actual message that should always be returned to the caller. All of this is done in bpf_stream_backlog_fill(). From the kernel side, the writing into the stream will be a bit more involved than the typical printk. First, the kernel typically may print a collection of messages into the stream, and parallel writers into the stream may suffer from interleaving of messages. To ensure each group of messages is visible atomically, we can lift the advantage of using a lockless list for pushing in messages. To enable this, we add a bpf_stream_stage() macro, and require kernel users to use bpf_stream_printk statements for the passed expression to write into the stream. Underneath the macro, we have a message staging API, where a bpf_stream_stage object on the stack accumulates the messages being printed into a local llist_head, and then a commit operation splices the whole batch into the stream's lockless log list. This is especially pertinent for rqspinlock deadlock messages printed to program streams. After this change, we see each deadlock invocation as a non-interleaving contiguous message without any confusion on the reader's part, improving their user experience in debugging the fault. While programs cannot benefit from this staged stream writing API, they could just as well hold an rqspinlock around their print statements to serialize messages, hence this is kept kernel-internal for now. Overall, this infrastructure provides NMI-safe any context printing of messages to two dedicated streams. Later patches will add support for printing splats in case of BPF arena page faults, rqspinlock deadlocks, and cond_break timeouts, and integration of this facility into bpftool for dumping messages to user space.
