To have module relocations handled properly as well, the same transformation needs to be perfomed on relocation address information.

The fix is obvious; filters are only set on the actual (parent) event, use the normal pattern of using this parent event for filters. This is safe because each child event has a reference to it.

| * | perf: Disable IRQs across RCU RS CS that acquires scheduler lockPaul E. McKenney2015-11-091-8/+9
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | The perf_lock_task_context() function disables preemption across its RCU read-side critical section because that critical section acquires a scheduler lock. If there was a preemption during that RCU read-side critical section, the rcu_read_unlock() could attempt to acquire scheduler locks, resulting in deadlock. However, recent optimizations to expedited grace periods mean that IPI handlers that execute during preemptible RCU read-side critical sections can now cause the subsequent rcu_read_unlock() to acquire scheduler locks. Disabling preemption does nothiing to prevent these IPI handlers from executing, so these optimizations introduced a deadlock. In theory, this deadlock could be avoided by pulling all wakeups and printk()s out from rnp->lock critical sections, but in practice this would re-introduce some RCU CPU stall warning bugs. Given that acquiring scheduler locks entails disabling interrupts, these deadlocks can be avoided by disabling interrupts (instead of disabling preemption) across any RCU read-side critical that acquires scheduler locks and holds them across the rcu_read_unlock(). This commit therefore makes this change for perf_lock_task_context(). Reported-by: Dave Jones <davej@codemonkey.org.uk> Reported-by: Peter Zijlstra <peterz@infradead.org> Signed-off-by: Paul E.

TI OMAP IRQ wake up configuration: GIC-irqchip->PCM_IRQ |- omap_prcm_register_chain_handler |- PRCM-irqchip -> PRCM_IO_IRQ |- pcs_irq_chain_handler |- pinctrl-irqchip -> PCS_uart1_wakeup_irq This happens because IRQ PM code (irq/pm.c) is expected to ignore chained interrupts by default: static bool suspend_device_irq(struct irq_desc *desc) { if (!desc->action || desc->no_suspend_depth) return false; - it's expected !desc->action = true for chained interrupts; but, after above change, all chained interrupt descriptors will have default action handler installed - chained_action. As result, chained interrupts will be silently disabled during system suspend. Hence, fix it by introducing helper function irq_desc_is_chained() and use it in suspend_device_irq() for chained interrupts identification and skip them, once detected.

There were a handful of development topics this cycle, dax get_user_pages, dax fsync, and raw block dax, that need more more iteration and will wait for 4.5. The patches to make devm and the pmem driver NUMA aware have been in -next for several weeks. The hot-add support has not, but is contained to the NFIT driver and is passing unit tests. The coredump support is straightforward and was looked over by Jeff. All of it has received a 0day build success notification across 107 configs. Summary: - Add support for the ACPI 6.0 NFIT hot add mechanism to process updates of the NFIT at runtime. - Teach the coredump implementation how to filter out DAX mappings. - Introduce NUMA hints for allocations made by the pmem driver, and as a side effect all devm allocations now hint their NUMA node by default" * tag 'libnvdimm-for-4.4' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/nvdimm/nvdimm: coredump: add DAX filtering for FDPIC ELF coredumps coredump: add DAX filtering for ELF coredumps acpi: nfit: Add support for hot-add nfit: in acpi_nfit_init, break on a 0-length table pmem, memremap: convert to numa aware allocations devm_memremap_pages: use numa_mem_id devm: make allocations numa aware by default devm_memremap: convert to return ERR_PTR devm_memunmap: use devres_release() pmem: kill memremap_pmem() x86, mm: quiet arch_add_memory()

E.g. I'm observing the following: - A crash is happening on one CPU and console_unlock() is being called on some other. - console_unlock() tries to print out the buffer before releasing the lock and on slow console it takes time. - in the meanwhile crashing CPU does lots of printk()-s with valuable data (which go to the logbuf) and sends IPIs to all other CPUs. - console_unlock() finishes printing previous chunk and enables interrupts before trying to print out the rest, the CPU catches the IPI and never releases console lock. This is not the only possible case: in VT/fb subsystems we have many other console_lock()/console_unlock() users. Non-masked interrupts (or receiving NMI in case of extreme slowness) will have the same result. Getting the whole console buffer printed out on crash should be top priority.

Which quite frankly is : weird. Unfortunately the weird unexpected cases are hard to handle : in the usual way. : : I was hoping for a little more information.

Fortunately, at least oom-kill case if fine; it kills all tasks sharing the same mm, so it should also kill the process which actually dumps the core. The change in prepare_signal() is not strictly necessary, it just ensures that the patch does not bring another subtle behavioural change. But it reminds us that this SIGNAL_GROUP_EXIT/COREDUMP case needs more changes.

Just for example, 1. block_all_signals(SIGSTOP/etc) simply can't help if the caller is multithreaded. Another thread can dequeue the signal and force the group stop. 2. Even is the caller is single-threaded, it will "stop" anyway. It will not sleep, but it will spin in kernel space until SIGCONT or SIGKILL. And a lot more. In short, this interface doesn't work at all, at least the last 10+ years.

Userland actually can inject messages with a facility of 0 by abusing the fact that the facility is stored in a u8 data type. By using a facility which is a multiple of 256 the assignment of msg->facility in log_store() implicitly truncates it to 0, i.e. LOG_KERN, allowing users of /dev/kmsg to spoof kernel messages as shown below: The following call... # printf '<%d>Kernel panic - not syncing: beer empty\n' 0 >/dev/kmsg ...leads to the following log entry (dmesg -x | tail -n 1): user :emerg : [ 66.137758] Kernel panic - not syncing: beer empty However, this call... # printf '<%d>Kernel panic - not syncing: beer empty\n' 0x800 >/dev/kmsg ...leads to the slightly different log entry (note the kernel facility): kern :emerg : [ 74.177343] Kernel panic - not syncing: beer empty Fix that by limiting the user provided facility to 8 bit right from the beginning and catch the truncation early.

Now it is possible to distinguish between true atomic context and callers that are not willing to sleep. The latter should clear __GFP_DIRECT_RECLAIM so kswapd will still wake. As clearing __GFP_WAIT behaves differently, there is a risk that people will clear the wrong flags. This patch renames __GFP_WAIT to __GFP_RECLAIM to clearly indicate what it does -- setting it allows all reclaim activity, clearing them prevents it.

They are expected to be high priority and have access one of two watermarks lower than "min" which can be referred to as the "atomic reserve". __GFP_HIGH users get access to the first lower watermark and can be called the "high priority reserve". Over time, callers had a requirement to not block when fallback options were available. Some have abused __GFP_WAIT leading to a situation where an optimisitic allocation with a fallback option can access atomic reserves. This patch uses __GFP_ATOMIC to identify callers that are truely atomic, cannot sleep and have no alternative. High priority users continue to use __GFP_HIGH. __GFP_DIRECT_RECLAIM identifies callers that can sleep and are willing to enter direct reclaim. __GFP_KSWAPD_RECLAIM to identify callers that want to wake kswapd for background reclaim. __GFP_WAIT is redefined as a caller that is willing to enter direct reclaim and wake kswapd for background reclaim. This patch then converts a number of sites o __GFP_ATOMIC is used by callers that are high priority and have memory pools for those requests. GFP_ATOMIC uses this flag. o Callers that have a limited mempool to guarantee forward progress clear __GFP_DIRECT_RECLAIM but keep __GFP_KSWAPD_RECLAIM. bio allocations fall into this category where kswapd will still be woken but atomic reserves are not used as there is a one-entry mempool to guarantee progress. o Callers that are checking if they are non-blocking should use the helper gfpflags_allow_blocking() where possible. This is because checking for __GFP_WAIT as was done historically now can trigger false positives. Some exceptions like dm-crypt.c exist where the code intent is clearer if __GFP_DIRECT_RECLAIM is used instead of the helper due to flag manipulations. o Callers that built their own GFP flags instead of starting with GFP_KERNEL and friends now also need to specify __GFP_KSWAPD_RECLAIM. The first key hazard to watch out for is callers that removed __GFP_WAIT and was depending on access to atomic reserves for inconspicuous reasons. In some cases it may be appropriate for them to use __GFP_HIGH. The second key hazard is callers that assembled their own combination of GFP flags instead of starting with something like GFP_KERNEL. They may now wish to specify __GFP_KSWAPD_RECLAIM. It's almost certainly harmless if it's missed in most cases as other activity will wake kswapd.

They both use strsep() which converts a comma into a nul character. To still allow the boot string to be parsed again the same way, the nul character gets converted back to a comma after the token is processed. The problem is that these two functions check for an empty parameter (two commas in a row ",,"), and continue the loop if the parameter is empty, but fails to place the comma back. In this case, the second parsing will end at this blank field, and not process fields afterward. In most cases, users should not have an empty field, but if its going to be checked, the code might as well be correct. Signed-off-by: Steven Rostedt <rostedt@goodmis.org>

For example, the 'func_stack_trace' option can't be enabled with the following kernel parameter: ftrace=function ftrace_filter=kfree trace_options=func_stack_trace We can enable tracer specific options by simply apply the options again if the specific tracer is also supplied from command line and started in register_tracer(). To make trace_boot_options_buf can be parsed again, a comma and a space is put back if they were replaced by strsep and strstrip respectively. Also make register_tracer() be __init to access the __init data, and in fact register_tracer is only called from __init code.

It improved the situation a lot. It stopped the kthread in most cases because the producer spent most of the time in the patched while cycle. But there are still few possible races when kthread_should_stop() is set outside of the cycle. Then we do not set @kill_test and some other checks pass. This patch adds a better fix. It renames @test_kill/TEST_KILL() into a better descriptive @test_error/TEST_ERROR(). Also it introduces break_test() function that checks for both @test_error and kthread_should_stop(). The new function is used in the producer when the check for @test_error is not enough. It is not used in the consumer because its state is manipulated by the producer via the "reader_finish" variable. Also we add a missing check into ring_buffer_producer_thread() between setting TASK_INTERRUPTIBLE and calling schedule_timeout(). Otherwise, we might miss a wakeup from kthread_stop().

Root of the problem: -------------------- ring_buffer_consumer() must complete "read_done" only when "reader_finish" variable is set. It must not be skipped due to other conditions. Note that we still must keep the check for "reader_finish" in a loop because there might be spurious wakeups as described in the above scenarios. Solution: ---------- The top level cycle in ring_buffer_consumer() will finish only when "reader_finish" is set. The data will be read in "while-do" cycle so that they are not read after an error (kill_test == 1) or a spurious wake up. In addition, "reader_finish" is manipulated by the producer thread. Therefore we add READ_ONCE() to make sure that the fresh value is read in each cycle. Also we add the corresponding barrier to synchronize the sleep check. Next we set the state back to TASK_RUNNING for the situation where we did not sleep. Just from paranoid reasons, we initialize both completions statically. This is safer, in case there are other races that we are unaware of. As a side effect we could remove the memory barrier from ring_buffer_producer_thread(). IMHO, this was the reason for the barrier. ring_buffer_reset() uses spin locks that should provide the needed memory barrier for using the buffer.

Thus it is not always appropriate to slurp the stack contents, as current check_stack() does, in order to calcurate a stack index (height) at a given function call. At least not on arm64. In addition, there is a possibility that we will mistakenly detect a stale stack frame which has not been overwritten. This patch makes check_stack() a weak function so as to later implement arch-specific version.
