The biggest issue is the habit of the ptrace code to change task->__state from the tracer to suppress TASK_WAKEKILL from waking up the tracee. No other code in the kernel does that and it is straight forward to update signal_wake_up and friends to make that unnecessary. Peter's task freezer sets frozen tasks to a new state TASK_FROZEN and then it stores them by calling "wake_up_state(t, TASK_FROZEN)" relying on the fact that all stopped states except the special stop states can tolerate spurious wake up and recover their state. The state of stopped and traced tasked is changed to be stored in task->jobctl as well as in task->__state. This makes it possible for the freezer to recover tasks in these special states, as well as serving as a general cleanup. With a little more work in that direction I believe TASK_STOPPED can learn to tolerate spurious wake ups and become an ordinary stop state. The TASK_TRACED state has to remain a special state as the registers for a process are only reliably available when the process is stopped in the scheduler. Fundamentally ptrace needs acess to the saved register values of a task. There are bunch of semi-random ptrace related cleanups that were found while looking at these issues. One cleanup that deserves to be called out is from commit 57b6de08b5f6 ("ptrace: Admit ptrace_stop can generate spuriuos SIGTRAPs"). This makes a change that is technically user space visible, in the handling of what happens to a tracee when a tracer dies unexpectedly. According to our testing and our understanding of userspace nothing cares that spurious SIGTRAPs can be generated in that case" * tag 'ptrace_stop-cleanup-for-v5.19' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/ebiederm/user-namespace: sched,signal,ptrace: Rework TASK_TRACED, TASK_STOPPED state ptrace: Always take siglock in ptrace_resume ptrace: Don't change __state ptrace: Admit ptrace_stop can generate spuriuos SIGTRAPs ptrace: Document that wait_task_inactive can't fail ptrace: Reimplement PTRACE_KILL by always sending SIGKILL signal: Use lockdep_assert_held instead of assert_spin_locked ptrace: Remove arch_ptrace_attach ptrace/xtensa: Replace PT_SINGLESTEP with TIF_SINGLESTEP ptrace/um: Replace PT_DTRACE with TIF_SINGLESTEP signal: Replace __group_send_sig_info with send_signal_locked signal: Rename send_signal send_signal_locked

New for 5.19, the updates aim to improve entropy collection methods and make some initial decisions regarding the "premature next" problem and our threat model. The cloc utility now reports that random.c is 931 lines of code and 466 lines of comments, not that basic metrics like that mean all that much, but at the very least it tells you that this is very much a manageable driver now. Here's a summary of the various updates: - The random_get_entropy() function now always returns something at least minimally useful. This is the primary entropy source in most collectors, which in the best case expands to something like RDTSC, but prior to this change, in the worst case it would just return 0, contributing nothing. For 5.19, additional architectures are wired up, and architectures that are entirely missing a cycle counter now have a generic fallback path, which uses the highest resolution clock available from the timekeeping subsystem. Some of those clocks can actually be quite good, despite the CPU not having a cycle counter of its own, and going off-core for a stamp is generally thought to increase jitter, something positive from the perspective of entropy gathering. Done very early on in the development cycle, this has been sitting in next getting some testing for a while now and has relevant acks from the archs, so it should be pretty well tested and fine, but is nonetheless the thing I'll be keeping my eye on most closely. - Of particular note with the random_get_entropy() improvements is MIPS, which, on CPUs that lack the c0 count register, will now combine the high-speed but short-cycle c0 random register with the lower-speed but long-cycle generic fallback path. - With random_get_entropy() now always returning something useful, the interrupt handler now collects entropy in a consistent construction. - Rather than comparing two samples of random_get_entropy() for the jitter dance, the algorithm now tests many samples, and uses the amount of differing ones to determine whether or not jitter entropy is usable and how laborious it must be. The problem with comparing only two samples was that if the cycle counter was extremely slow, but just so happened to be on the cusp of a change, the slowness wouldn't be detected. Taking many samples fixes that to some degree. This, combined with the other improvements to random_get_entropy(), should make future unification of /dev/random and /dev/urandom maybe more possible. At the very least, were we to attempt it again today (we're not), it wouldn't break any of Guenter's test rigs that broke when we tried it with 5.18. So, not today, but perhaps down the road, that's something we can revisit. - We attempt to reseed the RNG immediately upon waking up from system suspend or hibernation, making use of the various timestamps about suspend time and such available, as well as the usual inputs such as RDRAND when available. - Batched randomness now falls back to ordinary randomness before the RNG is initialized. This provides more consistent guarantees to the types of random numbers being returned by the various accessors. - The "pre-init injection" code is now gone for good. I suspect you in particular will be happy to read that, as I recall you expressing your distaste for it a few months ago. Instead, to avoid a "premature first" issue, while still allowing for maximal amount of entropy availability during system boot, the first 128 bits of estimated entropy are used immediately as it arrives, with the next 128 bits being buffered. And, as before, after the RNG has been fully initialized, it winds up reseeding anyway a few seconds later in most cases. This resulted in a pretty big simplification of the initialization code and let us remove various ad-hoc mechanisms like the ugly crng_pre_init_inject(). - The RNG no longer pretends to handle the "premature next" security model, something that various academics and other RNG designs have tried to care about in the past. After an interesting mailing list thread, these issues are thought to be a) mainly academic and not practical at all, and b) actively harming the real security of the RNG by delaying new entropy additions after a potential compromise, making a potentially bad situation even worse. As well, in the first place, our RNG never even properly handled the premature next issue, so removing an incomplete solution to a fake problem was particularly nice. This allowed for numerous other simplifications in the code, which is a lot cleaner as a consequence. If you didn't see it before, https://lore.kernel.org/lkml/YmlMGx6+uigkGiZ0@zx2c4.com/ may be a thread worth skimming through. - While the interrupt handler received a separate code path years ago that avoids locks by using per-cpu data structures and a faster mixing algorithm, in order to reduce interrupt latency, input and disk events that are triggered in hardirq handlers were still hitting locks and more expensive algorithms. Those are now redirected to use the faster per-cpu data structures. - Rather than having the fake-crypto almost-siphash-based random32 implementation be used right and left, and in many places where cryptographically secure randomness is desirable, the batched entropy code is now fast enough to replace that. - As usual, numerous code quality and documentation cleanups. For example, the initialization state machine now uses enum symbolic constants instead of just hard coding numbers everywhere. - Since the RNG initializes once, and then is always initialized thereafter, a pretty heavy amount of code used during that initialization is never used again. It is now completely cordoned off using static branches and it winds up in the .text.unlikely section so that it doesn't reduce cache compactness after the RNG is ready. - A variety of functions meant for waiting on the RNG to be initialized were only used by vsprintf, and in not a particularly optimal way. Replacing that usage with a more ordinary setup made it possible to remove those functions. - A cleanup of how we warn userspace about the use of uninitialized /dev/urandom and uninitialized get_random_bytes() usage. Interestingly, with the change you merged for 5.18 that attempts to use jitter (but does not block if it can't), the majority of users should never see those warnings for /dev/urandom at all now, and the one for in-kernel usage is mainly a debug thing. - The file_operations struct for /dev/[u]random now implements .read_iter and .write_iter instead of .read and .write, allowing it to also implement .splice_read and .splice_write, which makes splice(2) work again after it was broken here (and in many other places in the tree) during the set_fs() removal. This was a bit of a last minute arrival from Jens that hasn't had as much time to bake, so I'll be keeping my eye on this as well, but it seems fairly ordinary. Unfortunately, read_iter() is around 3% slower than read() in my tests, which I'm not thrilled about. But Jens and Al, spurred by this observation, seem to be making progress in removing the bottlenecks on the iter paths in the VFS layer in general, which should remove the performance gap for all drivers. - Assorted other bug fixes, cleanups, and optimizations. - A small SipHash cleanup" * tag 'random-5.19-rc1-for-linus' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/crng/random: (49 commits) random: check for signals after page of pool writes random: wire up fops->splice_{read,write}_iter() random: convert to using fops->write_iter() random: convert to using fops->read_iter() random: unify batched entropy implementations random: move randomize_page() into mm where it belongs random: remove mostly unused async readiness notifier random: remove get_random_bytes_arch() and add rng_has_arch_random() random: move initialization functions out of hot pages random: make consistent use of buf and len random: use proper return types on get_random_{int,long}_wait() random: remove extern from functions in header random: use static branch for crng_ready() random: credit architectural init the exact amount random: handle latent entropy and command line from random_init() random: use proper jiffies comparison macro random: remove ratelimiting for in-kernel unseeded randomness random: move initialization out of reseeding hot path random: avoid initializing twice in credit race random: use symbolic constants for crng_init states ...
| * | random32: use real rng for non-deterministic randomnessJason A. Donenfeld2022-05-181-2/+0

The first one has some use cases. The second one no longer does and can be replaced with calls to random.c's proper random number generator. The relatively recent siphash-based bad random32.c code was added in response to concerns that the prior random32.c was too deterministic. Out of fears that random.c was (at the time) too slow, this code was anonymously contributed. Then out of that emerged a kind of shadow entropy gathering system, with its own tentacles throughout various net code, added willy nilly. Stop👏making👏bespoke👏random👏number👏generators👏. Fortunately, recent advances in random.c mean that we can stop playing with this sketchiness, and just use get_random_u32(), which is now fast enough. In micro benchmarks using RDPMC, I'm seeing the same median cycle count between the two functions, with the mean being _slightly_ higher due to batches refilling (which we can optimize further need be). However, when doing *real* benchmarks of the net functions that actually use these random numbers, the mean cycles actually *decreased* slightly (with the median still staying the same), likely because the additional prandom code means icache misses and complexity, whereas random.c is generally already being used by something else nearby. The biggest benefit of this is that there are many users of prandom who probably should be using cryptographically secure random numbers. This makes all of those accidental cases become secure by just flipping a switch. Later on, we can do a tree-wide cleanup to remove the static inline wrapper functions that this commit adds. There are also some low-ish hanging fruits for making this even faster in the future: a get_random_u16() function for use in the networking stack will give a 2x performance boost there, using SIMD for ChaCha20 will let us compute 4 or 8 or 16 blocks of output in parallel, instead of just one, giving us large buffers for cheap, and introducing a get_random_*_bh() function that assumes irqs are already disabled will shave off a few cycles for ordinary calls. These are things we can chip away at down the road. Acked-by: Jakub Kicinski <kuba@kernel.org> Acked-by: Theodore Ts'o <tytso@mit.edu> Signed-off-by: Jason A. Donenfeld <Jason@zx2c4.com>
| * | timekeeping: Add raw clock fallback for random_get_entropy()Jason A. Donenfeld2022-05-131-0/+15
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | The addition of random_get_entropy_fallback() provides access to whichever time source has the highest frequency, which is useful for gathering entropy on platforms without available cycle counters. It's not necessarily as good as being able to quickly access a cycle counter that the CPU has, but it's still something, even when it falls back to being jiffies-based. In the event that a given arch does not define get_cycles(), falling back to the get_cycles() default implementation that returns 0 is really not the best we can do. Instead, at least calling random_get_entropy_fallback() would be preferable, because that always needs to return _something_, even falling back to jiffies eventually. It's not as though random_get_entropy_fallback() is super high precision or guaranteed to be entropic, but basically anything that's not zero all the time is better than returning zero all the time. Finally, since random_get_entropy_fallback() is used during extremely early boot when randomizing freelists in mm_init(), it can be called before timekeeping has been initialized. In that case there really is nothing we can do; jiffies hasn't even started ticking yet. So just give up and return 0. Suggested-by: Thomas Gleixner <tglx@linutronix.de> Signed-off-by: Jason A.

Enabling workqueue debugobjects doesn't help either because the delayed work isn't considered active until it is actually queued to run on a workqueue. If the work is freed while the timer is pending the work isn't considered active so there is no information from workqueue debugobjects. Special case delayed works in the timer debugobjects hint logic so that the delayed work function is returned instead of the delayed_work_timer_fn. This will help to understand which delayed work was pending that got freed. Apply the same treatment for kthread_delayed_work because it follows the same pattern.

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).

The Linux kernel tracing infrastructure has support for using different clocks to generate timestamps for trace events. Especially in TSN networks it's useful to have TAI as trace clock, because the application scheduling is done in accordance to the network time, which is based on TAI. With a tai trace_clock in place, it becomes very convenient to correlate network activity with Linux kernel application traces. Use the same implementation as ktime_get_boot_fast_ns() does by reading the monotonic time and adding the TAI offset. The same limitations as for the fast boot implementation apply. The TAI offset may change at run time e.g., by setting the time or using adjtimex() with an offset. However, these kind of offset changes are rare events. Nevertheless, the user has to be aware and deal with it in post processing. An alternative approach would be to use the same implementation as ktime_get_real_fast_ns() does. However, this requires to add an additional u64 member to the tk_read_base struct. This struct together with a seqcount is designed to fit into a single cache line on 64 bit architectures. Adding a new member would violate this constraint.

The readlocks in do_prlimit and set/getpriority are not necessary in all cases. Based on a cycles profile, it looked like ~87% of the time was spent in the kernel, ~42% of which was just trying to get *some* spinlock (queued_spin_lock_slowpath, not necessarily the tasklist_lock). The big offenders (with rough percentages in cycles of the overall trace): - do_wait 11% - setpriority 8% (done previously in commit 7f8ca0edfe07) - kill 8% - do_exit 5% - clone 3% - prlimit64 2% (this patchset) - getrlimit 1% (this patchset) I can't easily test this patchset on the original workload for various reasons. Instead, I used the microbenchmark below to at least verify there was some improvement. This patchset had a 28% speedup (12% from baseline to set/getprio, then another 14% for prlimit). This series used to do the setpriority case, but an almost identical change was merged as commit 7f8ca0edfe07 ("kernel/sys.c: only take tasklist_lock for get/setpriority(PRIO_PGRP)") so that has been dropped from here. One interesting thing is that my libc's getrlimit() was calling prlimit64, so hoisting the read_lock(tasklist_lock) into sys_prlimit64 had no effect - it essentially optimized the older syscalls only.

The tasklist_lock was grabbed to protect tsk->sighand from disappearing (becoming NULL). tsk->signal was already protected by holding a reference to tsk. update_rlimit_cpu() assumed tsk->sighand != NULL. With this commit, it attempts to lock_task_sighand(). However, this means that update_rlimit_cpu() can fail. This only happens when a task is exiting. Note that during exec, sighand may *change*, but it will not be NULL. Prior to this commit, the do_prlimit() ensured that update_rlimit_cpu() would not fail by read locking the tasklist_lock and checking tsk->sighand != NULL. If update_rlimit_cpu() fails, there may be other tasks that are not exiting that share tsk->signal. However, the group_leader is the last task to be released, so if we cannot update_rlimit_cpu(group_leader), then the entire process is exiting. The only other caller of update_rlimit_cpu() is selinux_bprm_committing_creds(). It has tsk == current, so update_rlimit_cpu() cannot fail (current->sighand cannot disappear until current exits). This change resulted in a 14% speedup on a microbenchmark where parents kill and wait on their children, and children getpriority, setpriority, and getrlimit.

Some code still prevents from unnecessary warnings related to this specific behaviour while entering in dynticks-idle mode. However the nohz layout has changed quite a bit in ten years, and the removal of CONFIG_RCU_FAST_NO_HZ has been the final straw to this safe-conduct. Now the RCU_SOFTIRQ vector is expected to be raised from sane places. A remaining corner case is admitted though when the vector is invoked in fragile hotplug path.

I think this is too small and can easily be exceeded when running some stressful workloads on a thermally stressed system. So it is switched back to 100us. Even a maximum skew margin of 100us may be too small in for some systems when booting up especially if those systems are under thermal stress. To eliminate the case that the large skew is due to the system being too busy slowing down the reading of both the watchdog and the clocksource, an extra consecutive read of watchdog clock is being done to check this. The consecutive watchdog read delay is compared against WATCHDOG_MAX_SKEW/2. If the delay exceeds the limit, we assume that the system is just too busy. A warning will be printed to the console and the clock skew check is skipped for this round.

After normalization, the result of timespec64_compare() is correct because the tv_sec comparison is not longer misleading: wall_to_monotonic = { .tv_sec = -10, .tv_nsec = 900000000 } ts_delta = { .tv_sec = -10, .tv_nsec = 100000000 } Use timespec64_sub() to ensure that ts_delta is normalized, which fixes the issue.

* | timers: implement usleep_idle_range()SeongJae Park2021-12-101-7/+9
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Patch series "mm/damon: Fix fake /proc/loadavg reports", v3. This patchset fixes DAMON's fake load report issue. The first patch makes yet another variant of usleep_range() for this fix, and the second patch fixes the issue of DAMON by making it using the newly introduced function. This patch (of 2): Some kernel threads such as DAMON could need to repeatedly sleep in micro seconds level. Because usleep_range() sleeps in uninterruptible state, however, such threads would make /proc/loadavg reports fake load. To help such cases, this commit implements a variant of usleep_range() called usleep_idle_range(). It is same to usleep_range() but sets the state of the current task as TASK_IDLE while sleeping.

* | timers/nohz: Last resort update jiffies on nohz_full IRQ entryFrederic Weisbecker2021-12-021-0/+7
|/ | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | When at least one CPU runs in nohz_full mode, a dedicated timekeeper CPU is guaranteed to stay online and to never stop its tick. Meanwhile on some rare case, the dedicated timekeeper may be running with interrupts disabled for a while, such as in stop_machine. If jiffies stop being updated, a nohz_full CPU may end up endlessly programming the next tick in the past, taking the last jiffies update monotonic timestamp as a stale base, resulting in an tick storm. Here is a scenario where it matters: 0) CPU 0 is the timekeeper and CPU 1 a nohz_full CPU. 1) A stop machine callback is queued to execute somewhere. 2) CPU 0 reaches MULTI_STOP_DISABLE_IRQ while CPU 1 is still in MULTI_STOP_PREPARE. Hence CPU 0 can't do its timekeeping duty. CPU 1 can still take IRQs. 3) CPU 1 receives an IRQ which queues a timer callback one jiffy forward. 4) On IRQ exit, CPU 1 schedules the tick one jiffy forward, taking last_jiffies_update as a base. But last_jiffies_update hasn't been updated for 2 jiffies since the timekeeper has interrupts disabled. 5) clockevents_program_event(), which relies on ktime_get(), observes that the expiration is in the past and therefore programs the min delta event on the clock. 6) The tick fires immediately, goto 3) 7) Tick storm, the nohz_full CPU is drown and takes ages to reach MULTI_STOP_DISABLE_IRQ, which is the only way out of this situation. Solve this with unconditionally updating jiffies if the value is stale on nohz_full IRQ entry. IRQs and other disturbances are expected to be rare enough on nohz_full for the unconditional call to ktime_get() to actually matter. Reported-by: Paul E.

* posix-cpu-timers: Clear task::posix_cputimers_work in copy_process()Michael Pratt2021-11-021-2/+17
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | copy_process currently copies task_struct.posix_cputimers_work as-is. If a timer interrupt arrives while handling clone and before dup_task_struct completes then the child task will have: 1. posix_cputimers_work.scheduled = true 2. posix_cputimers_work.work queued. copy_process clears task_struct.task_works, so (2) will have no effect and posix_cpu_timers_work will never run (not to mention it doesn't make sense for two tasks to share a common linked list). Since posix_cpu_timers_work never runs, posix_cputimers_work.scheduled is never cleared. Since scheduled is set, future timer interrupts will skip scheduling work, with the ultimate result that the task will never receive timer expirations. Together, the complete flow is: 1. Task 1 calls clone(), enters kernel. 2. Timer interrupt fires, schedules task work on Task 1. 2a. task_struct.posix_cputimers_work.scheduled = true 2b. task_struct.posix_cputimers_work.work added to task_struct.task_works. 3. dup_task_struct() copies Task 1 to Task 2. 4. copy_process() clears task_struct.task_works for Task 2. 5. Future timer interrupts on Task 2 see task_struct.posix_cputimers_work.scheduled = true and skip scheduling work. Fix this by explicitly clearing contents of task_struct.posix_cputimers_work in copy_process(). This was never meant to be shared or inherited across tasks in the first place.

For each timer the kernel preallocates a "queued real-time signal", Consequently, the number of timers is limited by the RLIMIT_SIGPENDING resource limit. The allocated object is quite small, ~250 bytes, but even the default signal limits allow to consume up to 100 megabytes per user. It makes sense to account for them to limit the host's memory consumption from inside the memcg-limited container.

| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | The clocksource watchdog test sets a local JIFFIES_SHIFT macro and assumes that HZ is >= 100. For smaller HZ values this shift value is too large and causes undefined behaviour. Move the HZ-based definitions of JIFFIES_SHIFT from kernel/time/jiffies.c to kernel/time/tick-internal.h so the clocksource watchdog test can utilize them, which makes it work correctly with all HZ values.

| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Since the recent consoliation of reprogramming functions, hrtimer_force_reprogram() is affected by a check whether the new expiry time is past the current expiry time. This breaks the NOHZ logic as that relies on the fact that the tick hrtimer is moved into the future. That means cpu_base->expires_next becomes stale and subsequent reprogramming attempts fail as well until the situation is cleaned up by an hrtimer interrupts. For some yet unknown reason this leads to a complete stall, so for now partially revert the offending commit to a known working state. The root cause for the stall is still investigated and will be fixed in a subsequent commit.

In that case the remote CPU will reevaluate the timer bases before reprogramming anyway, so nothing to do. - After updating it can be checked whether the first expiring timer in the affected clock bases moves before the first expiring (softirq) timer of the CPU.
