Some use cases don't always need an IPI when sending a TWA_SIGNAL
notification. Add TWA_SIGNAL_NO_IPI, which is just like TWA_SIGNAL, except
it doesn't send an IPI to the target task. It merely sets
TIF_NOTIFY_SIGNAL and wakes up the task.
This can be useful in avoiding a forceful transition to the kernel if the
task is running in userspace. Depending on the task_work in question, it
may be quite fine waiting for the next reschedule or kernel enter anyway,
or the use case may even have other mechanisms for hinting to the task
that a transition may be useful. This can drive more cooperative
scheduling of task_work.

Previously, the seccomp notifier used LIFO semantics, where each
notification would be added on top of the stack, and notifications
were popped off the top of the stack. This could result one process
that generates a large number of notifications preventing other
notifications from being handled. This patch moves from LIFO (stack)
semantics to FIFO (queue semantics).

We no longer need them as we can use DWARF debug info or BTF + pahole to
re-generate the required structs to compile against them for a given
kernel.
This moves the burden of maintaining these helper functions to the
module.
https://github.com/qais-yousef/sched_tp
Note that pahole v1.15 is required at least for using DWARF. And for BTF
v1.23 which is not yet released will be required. There's alignment
problem that will lead to crashes in earlier versions when used with
BTF.
We should have enough infrastructure to make these helper functions now
obsolete, so remove them.

said:
Its's simply wishful thinking that stuff gets fixed because of a
WARN_ONCE(). This has never worked. The only thing which works is to
make stuff fail hard or slow it down in a way which makes it annoying
enough to users to complain.
He was talking about WBINVD. But it made me think about how we use the
split lock detection feature in Linux.
Existing code has three options for applications:
1) Don't enable split lock detection (allow arbitrary split locks)
2) Warn once when a process uses split lock, but let the process
keep running with split lock detection disabled
3) Kill process that use split locks
Option 2 falls into the "wishful thinking" territory that Thomas warns does
nothing. But option 3 might not be viable in a situation with legacy
applications that need to run.
Hence make option 2 much stricter to "slow it down in a way which makes
it annoying".
Primary reason for this change is to provide better quality of service to
the rest of the applications running on the system. Internal testing shows
that even with many processes splitting locks, performance for the rest of
the system is much more responsive.
The new "warn" mode operates like this. When an application tries to
execute a bus lock the #AC handler.
1) Delays (interruptibly) 10 ms before moving to next step.
2) Blocks (interruptibly) until it can get the semaphore
If interrupted, just return. Assume the signal will either
kill the task, or direct execution away from the instruction
that is trying to get the bus lock.
3) Disables split lock detection for the current core
4) Schedules a work queue to re-enable split lock detect in 2 jiffies
5) Returns
The work queue that re-enables split lock detection also releases the
semaphore.
There is a corner case where a CPU may be taken offline while split lock
detection is disabled. A CPU hotplug handler handles this case.
Old behaviour was to only print the split lock warning on the first
occurrence of a split lock from a task. Preserve that by adding a flag to
the task structure that suppresses subsequent split lock messages from that
task.

The recent kernel change in 73f9b911fa ("kprobes: Use rethook for kretprobe
if possible"), introduced a potential NULL pointer dereference bug in the
KRETPROBE mechanism. The official Kprobes documentation defines that "Any or
all handlers can be NULL". Unfortunately, there is a missing return handler
verification to fulfill these requirements and can result in a NULL pointer
dereference bug.
This patch adds such verification in kretprobe_rethook_handler() function.

Currently threaded console printers synchronize against each
other using console_lock(). However, different console drivers
are unrelated and do not require any synchronization between
each other. Removing the synchronization between the threaded
console printers will allow each console to print at its own
speed.
But the threaded consoles printers do still need to synchronize
against console_lock() callers. Introduce a per-console mutex
and a new console boolean field @blocked to provide this
synchronization.
console_lock() is modified so that it must acquire the mutex
of each console in order to set the @blocked field. Console
printing threads will acquire their mutex while printing a
record. If @blocked was set, the thread will go back to sleep
instead of printing.
The reason for the @blocked boolean field is so that
console_lock() callers do not need to acquire multiple console
mutexes simultaneously, which would introduce unnecessary
complexity due to nested mutex locking. Also, a new field
was chosen instead of adding a new @flags value so that the
blocked status could be checked without concern of reading
inconsistent values due to @flags updates from other contexts.
Threaded console printers also need to synchronize against
console_trylock() callers. Since console_trylock() may be
called from any context, the per-console mutex cannot be used
for this synchronization. (mutex_trylock() cannot be called
from atomic contexts.) Introduce a global atomic counter to
identify if any threaded printers are active. The threaded
printers will also check the atomic counter to identify if the
console has been locked by another task via console_trylock().
Note that @console_sem is still used to provide synchronization
between console_lock() and console_trylock() callers.
A locking overview for console_lock(), console_trylock(), and the
threaded printers is as follows (pseudo code):
console_lock()
{
down(&console_sem);
for_each_console(con) {
mutex_lock(&con->lock);
con->blocked = true;
mutex_unlock(&con->lock);
}
/* console_lock acquired */
}
console_trylock()
{
if (down_trylock(&console_sem) == 0) {
if (atomic_cmpxchg(&console_kthreads_active, 0, -1) == 0) {
/* console_lock acquired */
}
}
}
threaded_printer()
{
mutex_lock(&con->lock);
if (!con->blocked) {
/* console_lock() callers blocked */
if (atomic_inc_unless_negative(&console_kthreads_active)) {
/* console_trylock() callers blocked */
con->write();
atomic_dec(&console_lock_count);
}
}
mutex_unlock(&con->lock);
}
The console owner and waiter logic now only applies between contexts
that have taken the console_lock via console_trylock(). Threaded
printers never take the console_lock, so they do not have a
console_lock to handover. Tasks that have used console_lock() will
block the threaded printers using a mutex and if the console_lock
is handed over to an atomic context, it would be unable to unblock
the threaded printers. However, the console_trylock() case is
really the only scenario that is interesting for handovers anyway.
@panic_console_dropped must change to atomic_t since it is no longer
protected exclusively by the console_lock.
Since threaded printers remain asleep if they see that the console
is locked, they now must be explicitly woken in __console_unlock().
This means wake_up_klogd() calls following a console_unlock() are
no longer necessary and are removed.
Also note that threaded printers no longer need to check
@console_suspended. The check for the @blocked field implicitly
covers the suspended console case.

When tick_nohz_stop_tick() stops the tick and high resolution timers are
disabled, then the clock event device is not put into ONESHOT_STOPPED
mode. This can lead to spurious timer interrupts with some clock event
device drivers that don't shut down entirely after firing.
Eliminate these by putting the device into ONESHOT_STOPPED mode at points
where it is not being reprogrammed. When there are no timers active, then
tick_program_event() with KTIME_MAX can be used to stop the device. When
there is a timer active, the device can be stopped at the next tick (any
new timer added by timers will reprogram the tick).

sched/pelt: Fix attach_entity_load_avg() corner case
Create a kthread for each console to perform console printing. During
normal operation (@system_state == SYSTEM_RUNNING), the kthread
printers are responsible for all printing on their respective
consoles.
During non-normal operation, console printing is done as it has been:
within the context of the printk caller or within irqwork triggered
by the printk caller, referred to as direct printing.
Since threaded console printers are responsible for all printing
during normal operation, this also includes messages generated via
deferred printk calls. If direct printing is in effect during a
deferred printk call, the queued irqwork will perform the direct
printing. To make it clear that this is the only time that the
irqwork will perform direct printing, rename the flag
PRINTK_PENDING_OUTPUT to PRINTK_PENDING_DIRECT_OUTPUT.
Threaded console printers synchronize against each other and against
console lockers by taking the console lock for each message that is
printed.
Note that the kthread printers do not care about direct printing.
They will always try to print if new records are available. They can
be blocked by direct printing, but will be woken again once direct
printing is finished.
Console unregistration is a bit tricky because the associated
kthread printer cannot be stopped while the console lock is held.
A policy is implemented that states: whichever task clears
con->thread (under the console lock) is responsible for stopping
the kthread. unregister_console() will clear con->thread while
the console lock is held and then stop the kthread after releasing
the console lock.
For consoles that have implemented the exit() callback, the kthread
is stopped before exit() is called.

Once kthread printing is available, console printing will no longer
occur in the context of the printk caller. However, there are some
special contexts where it is desirable for the printk caller to
directly print out kernel messages. Using pr_flush() to wait for
threaded printers is only possible if the caller is in a sleepable
context and the kthreads are active. That is not always the case.
Introduce printk_prefer_direct_enter() and printk_prefer_direct_exit()
functions to explicitly (and globally) activate/deactivate preferred
direct console printing. The term "direct console printing" refers to
printing to all enabled consoles from the context of the printk
caller. The term "prefer" is used because this type of printing is
only best effort. If the console is currently locked or other
printers are already actively printing, the printk caller will need
to rely on the other contexts to handle the printing.
This preferred direct printing is how all printing has been handled
until now (unless it was explicitly deferred).
When kthread printing is introduced, there may be some unanticipated
problems due to kthreads being unable to flush important messages.
In order to minimize such risks, preferred direct printing is
activated for the primary important messages when the system
experiences general types of major errors. These are:
- emergency reboot/shutdown
- cpu and rcu stalls
- hard and soft lockups
- hung tasks
- warn
- sysrq
Note that since kthread printing does not yet exist, no behavior
changes result from this commit. This is only implementing the
counter and marking the various places where preferred direct
printing is active.

Extended consoles print extended messages and do not print messages about
dropped records.
Non-extended consoles print "normal" messages as well as extra messages
about dropped records.
Currently the buffers for these various message types are defined within
the functions that might use them and their usage is based upon the
CON_EXTENDED flag. This will be a problem when moving to kthread printers
because each printer must be able to provide its own buffers.
Move all the message buffer definitions outside of
console_emit_next_record(). The caller knows if extended or dropped
messages should be printed and can specify the appropriate buffers to
use. The console_emit_next_record() and call_console_driver() functions
can know what to print based on whether specified buffers are non-NULL.
With this change, buffer definition/allocation/specification is separated
from the code that does the various types of string printing.

Refactor/rework printing logic in order to prepare for moving to
threaded console printing.
- Move @console_seq into struct console so that the current
"position" of each console can be tracked individually.
- Move @console_dropped into struct console so that the current drop
count of each console can be tracked individually.
- Modify printing logic so that each console independently loads,
prepares, and prints its next record.
- Remove exclusive_console logic. Since console positions are
handled independently, replaying past records occurs naturally.
- Update the comments explaining why preemption is disabled while
printing from printk() context.
With these changes, there is a change in behavior: the console
replaying the log (formerly exclusive console) will no longer block
other consoles. New messages appear on the other consoles while the
newly added console is still replaying.

Martin find it confusing when look at the /proc/pressure/cpu output,
and found no hint about that CPU "full" line in psi Documentation.
% cat /proc/pressure/cpu
some avg10=0.92 avg60=0.91 avg300=0.73 total=933490489
full avg10=0.22 avg60=0.23 avg300=0.16 total=358783277
The PSI_CPU_FULL state is introduced by commit e7fcd76228
("psi: Add PSI_CPU_FULL state"), which mainly for cgroup level,
but also counted at the system level as a side effect.
Naturally, the FULL state doesn't exist for the CPU resource at
the system level. These "full" numbers can come from CPU idle
schedule latency. For example, t1 is the time when task wakeup
on an idle CPU, t2 is the time when CPU pick and switch to it.
The delta of (t2 - t1) will be in CPU_FULL state.
Another case all processes can be stalled is when all cgroups
have been throttled at the same time, which unlikely to happen.
Anyway, CPU_FULL metric is meaningless and confusing at the
system level. So this patch will report zeroes for CPU full
at the system level, and update psi Documentation accordingly.

With SIGTRAP on perf events, we have encountered termination of
processes due to user space attempting to block delivery of SIGTRAP.
Consider this case:
<set up SIGTRAP on a perf event>
...
sigset_t s;
sigemptyset(&s);
sigaddset(&s, SIGTRAP | <and others>);
sigprocmask(SIG_BLOCK, &s, ...);
...
<perf event triggers>
When the perf event triggers, while SIGTRAP is blocked, force_sig_perf()
will force the signal, but revert back to the default handler, thus
terminating the task.
This makes sense for error conditions, but not so much for explicitly
requested monitoring. However, the expectation is still that signals
generated by perf events are synchronous, which will no longer be the
case if the signal is blocked and delivered later.
To give user space the ability to clearly distinguish synchronous from
asynchronous signals, introduce siginfo_t::si_perf_flags and
TRAP_PERF_FLAG_ASYNC (opted for flags in case more binary information is
required in future).
The resolution to the problem is then to (a) no longer force the signal
(avoiding the terminations), but (b) tell user space via si_perf_flags
if the signal was synchronous or not, so that such signals can be
handled differently (e.g. let user space decide to ignore or consider
the data imprecise).
The alternative of making the kernel ignore SIGTRAP on perf events if
the signal is blocked may work for some usecases, but likely causes
issues in others that then have to revert back to interception of
sigprocmask() (which we want to avoid). [ A concrete example: when using
breakpoint perf events to track data-flow, in a region of code where
signals are blocked, data-flow can no longer be tracked accurately.
When a relevant asynchronous signal is received after unblocking the
signal, the data-flow tracking logic needs to know its state is
imprecise. ]

vm_insert_page()'s failure is not an unexpected condition, so don't do
WARN_ONCE() in such a case.
Instead, print a kernel message and just return an error code.
This flaw has been reported under an OOM condition by sysbot [1].
The message is mainly for the benefit of the test log, in this case the
fuzzer's log so that humans inspecting the log can figure out what was
going on. KCOV is a testing tool, so I think being a little more chatty
when KCOV unexpectedly is about to fail will save someone debugging
time.
We don't want the WARN, because it's not a kernel bug that syzbot should
report, and failure can happen if the fuzzer tries hard enough (as
above).

The rcu_sync_enter() function is used by updaters to force RCU readers
(e.g. percpu-rwsem) to use their slow paths during an update. This is
accomplished by setting the ->gp_state of the rcu_sync structure to
GP_ENTER. In the case of percpu-rwsem, the readers' slow path waits on
a semaphore instead of just incrementing a reader count. Each updater
invokes the rcu_sync_exit() function to signal to readers that they
may again take their fastpaths. The rcu_sync_exit() function sets the
->gp_state of the rcu_sync structure to GP_EXIT, and if all goes well,
after a grace period the ->gp_state reverts back to GP_IDLE.
Unfortunately, the rcu_sync_enter() function currently has a comment
incorrectly stating that rcu_sync_exit() (by an updater) will re-enable
reader "slowpaths". This patch changes the comment to state that this
function re-enables reader fastpaths.
