Since flush operation synchronously waits for completion, flushing
system-wide WQs (e.g. system_wq) might introduce possibility of deadlock
due to unexpected locking dependency. Tejun Heo commented at [1] that it
makes no sense at all to call flush_workqueue() on the shared WQs as the
caller has no idea what it's gonna end up waiting for.
Although there is flush_scheduled_work() which flushes system_wq WQ with
"Think twice before calling this function! It's very easy to get into
trouble if you don't take great care." warning message, syzbot found a
circular locking dependency caused by flushing system_wq WQ [2].
Therefore, let's change the direction to that developers had better use
their local WQs if flush_scheduled_work()/flush_workqueue(system_*_wq) is
inevitable.
Steps for converting system-wide WQs into local WQs are explained at [3],
and a conversion to stop flushing system-wide WQs is in progress. Now we
want some mechanism for preventing developers who are not aware of this
conversion from again start flushing system-wide WQs.
Since I found that WARN_ON() is complete but awkward approach for teaching
developers about this problem, let's use __compiletime_warning() for
incomplete but handy approach. For completeness, we will also insert
WARN_ON() into __flush_workqueue() after all in-tree users stopped calling
flush_scheduled_work().

When a CPU is going offline, all workers on the CPU's pool will have their
cpus_allowed cleared to cpu_possible_mask and can run on any CPUs including
the isolated ones. Instead, set cpus_allowed to wq_unbound_cpumask so that
the can avoid isolated CPUs.

Refer to housekeeping APIs using single feature types instead of flags.
This prevents from passing multiple isolation features at once to
housekeeping interfaces, which soon won't be possible anymore as each
isolation features will have their own cpumask.

To prepare for supporting each feature of the housekeeping cpumask
toward cpuset, prepare each of the HK_FLAG_* entries to move to their
own cpumask with enforcing to fetch them individually. The new
constraint is that multiple HK_FLAG_* entries can't be mixed together
anymore in a single call to housekeeping cpumask().
This will later allow, for example, to runtime modify the cpulist passed
through "isolcpus=", "nohz_full=" and "rcu_nocbs=" kernel boot
parameters.

The access to idle_list in wq_worker_sleeping() is changed to be
protected by pool->lock, so the comments above idle_list can be changed
to "L:" which is the meaning of "access with pool->lock held".
And the outdated comments in wq_worker_sleeping() is removed since
the function is not called with rq lock held any more, idle_list is

In unbind_workers(), there are two pool->lock held sections separated
by the code of zapping nr_running. wake_up_worker() needs to be in
pool->lock held section and after zapping nr_running. And zapping
nr_running had to be after schedule() when the local wake up
functionality was in use. Now, the call to schedule() has been removed
along with the local wake up functionality, so the code can be merged
into the same pool->lock held section.
The diffstat shows that it is other code moved down because the diff
tools can not know the meaning of merging lock sections by swapping
two code blocks.

The commit 6d25be5782e4 ("sched/core, workqueues: Distangle worker
accounting from rq lock") changed the schedule callbacks for workqueue
and moved the schedule callback from the wakeup code to at end of
schedule() in the worker's process context.
It means that the callback wq_worker_running() is guaranteed that
it sees the %WORKER_UNBOUND flag after scheduled since unbind_workers()
is running on the same CPU that all the pool's workers bound to.

Long time before, workers are not ALL bound after CPU_ONLINE, they can
still be running in other CPUs before self rebinding.
But the commit a9ab775bcadf ("workqueue: directly restore CPU affinity
of workers from CPU_ONLINE") makes rebind_workers() bind them all.
So all workers are on the CPU before the CPU is down.
And the comment in unbind_workers() refers to the workers "which are
still executing works from before the last CPU down" is outdated.
Just removed it.

The commit 6d25be5782e4 ("sched/core, workqueues: Distangle worker
accounting from rq lock") changed the schedule callbacks for workqueue
and removed the local-wake-up functionality.
Now the wakingup of workers is done by normal fashion and workers not
yet migrated to the specific CPU in concurrency managed pool can also
be woken up by workers that already bound to the specific cpu now.
So this advanced kicking of the idle workers to migrate them to the
associated CPU is unneeded now.

At CPU-hotplug time, unbind_workers() may preempt a worker while it is
going to sleep. In that case the following scenario can happen:
unbind_workers() wq_worker_sleeping()
-------------- -------------------
if (worker->flags & WORKER_NOT_RUNNING)
return;
//PREEMPTED by unbind_workers
worker->flags |= WORKER_UNBOUND;
[...]
atomic_set(&pool->nr_running, 0);
//resume to worker
atomic_dec_and_test(&pool->nr_running);
After unbind_worker() resets pool->nr_running, the value is expected to
remain 0 until the pool ever gets rebound in case cpu_up() is called on
the target CPU in the future. But here the race leaves pool->nr_running
with a value of -1, triggering the following warning when the worker goes

Also due to this incorrect "nr_running == 1", further queued work may
end up not being served, because no worker is awaken at work insert time.
This raises rcutorture writer stalls for example.
Fix this with disabling preemption in the right place in
wq_worker_running().
It's worth noting that if the worker migrates and runs concurrently with
unbind_workers(), it is guaranteed to see the WORKER_UNBOUND flag update
due to set_cpus_allowed_ptr() acquiring/releasing rq->lock.

The current queue_work_on() docbook comment says that the caller must
ensure that the specified CPU can't go away, but does not spell out the
consequences, which turn out to be quite mild. Therefore expand this
comment to explicitly say that the penalty for failing to nail down the
specified CPU is that the workqueue handler might find itself executing

Shuah Khan reported:
| When CONFIG_PROVE_RAW_LOCK_NESTING=y and CONFIG_KASAN are enabled,
| kasan_record_aux_stack() runs into "BUG: Invalid wait context" when
| it tries to allocate memory attempting to acquire spinlock in page
| allocation code while holding workqueue pool raw_spinlock.
|
| There are several instances of this problem when block layer tries
| to __queue_work(). Call trace from one of these instances is below:
|
| kblockd_mod_delayed_work_on()
| mod_delayed_work_on()
| __queue_delayed_work()
| __queue_work() (rcu_read_lock, raw_spin_lock pool->lock held)
| insert_work()
| kasan_record_aux_stack()
| kasan_save_stack()
| stack_depot_save()
| alloc_pages()
| __alloc_pages()
| get_page_from_freelist()
| rm_queue()
| rm_queue_pcplist()
| local_lock_irqsave(&pagesets.lock, flags);
| [ BUG: Invalid wait context triggered ]
The default kasan_record_aux_stack() calls stack_depot_save() with
GFP_NOWAIT, which in turn can then call alloc_pages(GFP_NOWAIT, ...).
In general, however, it is not even possible to use either GFP_ATOMIC
nor GFP_NOWAIT in certain non-preemptive contexts, including
raw_spin_locks (see gfp.h and commmit ab00db216c9c7).
Fix it by instructing stackdepot to not expand stack storage via
alloc_pages() in case it runs out by using
kasan_record_aux_stack_noalloc().
While there is an increased risk of failing to insert the stack trace,
this is typically unlikely, especially if the same insertion had already
succeeded previously (stack depot hit).
For frequent calls from the same location, it therefore becomes
extremely unlikely that kasan_record_aux_stack_noalloc() fails.

Currently show_workqueue_state shows the state of all workqueues and of
all worker pools. In certain cases we may need to dump state of only a
specific workqueue or worker pool. For example in destroy_workqueue we
only need to show state of the workqueue which is getting destroyed.
So rename show_workqueue_state to show_all_workqueues(to signify it
dumps state of all busy workqueues) and divide it into more granular
functions (show_one_workqueue and show_one_worker_pool), that would show
states of individual workqueues and worker pools and can be used in
cases such as the one mentioned above.
Also, as mentioned earlier, make destroy_workqueue dump data pertaining
to only the workqueue that is being destroyed and make user(s) of
earlier interface(show_workqueue_state), use new interface
(show_all_workqueues).

Console drivers often queue work while holding locks also taken in their
console write paths, something which can lead to deadlocks on SMP when
dumping workqueue state (e.g. sysrq-t or on suspend failures).
For serial console drivers this could look like:
CPU0 CPU1
---- ----
show_workqueue_state();
lock(&pool->lock); <IRQ>
lock(&port->lock);
schedule_work();
lock(&pool->lock);
printk();
lock(console_owner);
lock(&port->lock);
where workqueues are, for example, used to push data to the line
discipline, process break signals and handle modem-status changes. Line
disciplines and serdev drivers can also queue work on write-wakeup
notifications, etc.
Reworking every console driver to avoid queuing work while holding locks
also taken in their write paths would complicate drivers and is neither
desirable or feasible.
Instead use the deferred-printk mechanism to avoid printing while
holding pool locks when dumping workqueue state.
Note that there are a few WARN_ON() assertions in the workqueue code
which could potentially also trigger a deadlock. Hopefully the ongoing
printk rework will provide a general solution for this eventually.
This was originally reported after a lockdep splat when executing
sysrq-t with the imx serial driver.

There was no strong reason to or not to flush barrier work items in
flush_workqueue(). And we have to make barrier work items not participate
in nr_active so we had been using WORK_NO_COLOR for them which also makes
them can't be flushed by flush_workqueue().
And the users of flush_workqueue() often do not intend to wait barrier work
items issued by flush_work(). That made the choice sound perfect.
But barrier work items have reference to internal structure (pool_workqueue)
and the worker thread[s] is/are still busy for the workqueue user when the
barrrier work items are not done. So it is reasonable to make flush_workqueue()
also watch for flush_work() to make it more robust.
And a problem[1] reported by Li Zhe shows that we need such robustness.
The warning logs are listed below:
WARNING: CPU: 0 PID: 19336 at kernel/workqueue.c:4430 destroy_workqueue+0x11a/0x2f0
*****
destroy_workqueue: test_workqueue9 has the following busy pwq
pwq 4: cpus=2 node=0 flags=0x0 nice=0 active=0/1 refcnt=2
in-flight: 5658:wq_barrier_func
Showing busy workqueues and worker pools:
*****
It shows that even after drain_workqueue() returns, the barrier work item
is still in flight and the pwq (and a worker) is still busy on it.
The problem is caused by flush_workqueue() not watching flush_work():
Thread A Worker
/* normal work item with linked */
process_scheduled_works()
destroy_workqueue() process_one_work()
drain_workqueue() /* run normal work item */
/-- pwq_dec_nr_in_flight()
flush_workqueue() <---/
/* the last normal work item is done */
sanity_check process_one_work()
/-- raw_spin_unlock_irq(&pool->lock)
raw_spin_lock_irq(&pool->lock) <-/ /* maybe preempt */
*WARNING* wq_barrier_func()
/* maybe preempt by cond_resched() */
Thread A can get the pool lock after the Worker unlocks the pool lock before
running wq_barrier_func(). And if there is any preemption happen around
wq_barrier_func(), destroy_workqueue()'s sanity check is more likely to
get the lock and catch it. (Note: preemption is not necessary to cause the bug,
the unlocking is enough to possibly trigger the WARNING.)
A simple solution might be just executing all linked barrier work items
once without releasing pool lock after the head work item's
pwq_dec_nr_in_flight(). But this solution has two problems:
1) the head work item might also be barrier work item when the user-queued
work item is cancelled. For example:
thread 1: thread 2:
queue_work(wq, &my_work)
flush_work(&my_work)
cancel_work_sync(&my_work);
/* Neiter my_work nor the barrier work is scheduled. */
destroy_workqueue(wq);
/* This is an easier way to catch the WARNING. */
2) there might be too much linked barrier work items and running them
all once without releasing pool lock just causes trouble.
The only solution is to make flush_workqueue() aslo watch barrier work
items. So we have to assign a color to these barrier work items which
is the color of the head (user-queued) work item.
Assigning a color doesn't cause any problem in ative management, because
the prvious patch made barrier work items not participate in nr_active
via WORK_STRUCT_INACTIVE rather than reliance on the (old) WORK_NO_COLOR.

Currently, WORK_NO_COLOR has two meanings:
Not participate in flushing
Not participate in nr_active
And only non-barrier work items are marked with WORK_STRUCT_INACTIVE
when they are in inactive_works list. The barrier work items are not
marked INACTIVE even linked in inactive_works list since these tail
items are always moved together with the head work item.
These definitions are simple, clean and practical. (Except a small
blemish that only the first meaning of WORK_NO_COLOR is documented in
include/linux/workqueue.h while both meanings are in workqueue.c)
But dual-purpose WORK_NO_COLOR used for barrier work items has proven to
be problematical[1]. Only the second purpose is obligatory. So we plan
to make barrier work items participate in flushing but keep them still
not participating in nr_active.
So the plan is to mark barrier work items inactive without using
WORK_NO_COLOR in this patch so that we can assign a flushing color to
them in next patch.
The reasonable way is to add or reuse a bit in work data of the work
item. But adding a bit will double the size of pool_workqueue.
Currently, WORK_STRUCT_INACTIVE is only used in try_to_grab_pending()
for user-queued work items and try_to_grab_pending() can't work for
barrier work items. So we extend WORK_STRUCT_INACTIVE to also mark
barrier work items no matter which list they are in because we don't
need to determind which list a barrier work item is in.
So the meaning of WORK_STRUCT_INACTIVE becomes just "the work items don't
participate in nr_active" (no matter whether it is a barrier work item or
a user-queued work item). And WORK_STRUCT_INACTIVE for user-queued work
items means they are in inactive_works list.
This patch does it by setting WORK_STRUCT_INACTIVE for barrier work items
in insert_wq_barrier() and checking WORK_STRUCT_INACTIVE first in
pwq_dec_nr_in_flight(). And the meaning of WORK_NO_COLOR is reduced to
only "not participating in flushing".
There is no functionality change intended in this patch. Because
WORK_NO_COLOR+WORK_STRUCT_INACTIVE represents the previous WORK_NO_COLOR
in meaning and try_to_grab_pending() doesn't use for barrier work items
and avoids being confused by this extended WORK_STRUCT_INACTIVE.
A bunch of comment for nr_active & WORK_STRUCT_INACTIVE is also added for
documenting how WORK_STRUCT_INACTIVE works in nr_active management.

There are two kinds of "delayed" work items in workqueue subsystem.
One is for timer-delayed work items which are visible to workqueue users.
The other kind is for work items delayed by active management which can
not be directly visible to workqueue users. We mixed the word "delayed"
for both kinds and caused somewhat ambiguity.
This patch renames the later one (delayed by active management) to
"inactive", because it is used for workqueue active management and
most of its related symbols are named with "active" or "activate".
All "delayed" and "DELAYED" are carefully checked and renamed one by
one to avoid accidentally changing the name of the other kind for
timer-delayed.
No functional change intended.

If VCPU is suspended (VM suspend) in wq_watchdog_timer_fn() then
once this VCPU resumes it will see the new jiffies value, while it
may take a while before IRQ detects PVCLOCK_GUEST_STOPPED on this
VCPU and updates all the watchdogs via pvclock_touch_watchdogs().
There is a small chance of misreported WQ stalls in the meantime,
because new jiffies is time_after() old 'ts + thresh'.
wq_watchdog_timer_fn()
{
for_each_pool(pool, pi) {
if (time_after(jiffies, ts + thresh)) {
pr_emerg("BUG: workqueue lockup - pool");
}
}
}
Save jiffies at the beginning of this function and use that value
for stall detection. If VM gets suspended then we continue using
"old" jiffies value and old WQ touch timestamps. If IRQ at some
point restarts the stall detection cycle (pvclock_touch_watchdogs())
then old jiffies will always be before new 'ts + thresh'.

Pull CFI on arm64 support from Kees Cook:
"This builds on last cycle's LTO work, and allows the arm64 kernels to
be built with Clang's Control Flow Integrity feature. This feature has
happily lived in Android kernels for almost 3 years[1], so I'm excited
to have it ready for upstream.
The wide diffstat is mainly due to the treewide fixing of mismatched
list_sort prototypes. Other things in core kernel are to address
various CFI corner cases. The largest code portion is the CFI runtime
implementation itself (which will be shared by all architectures
implementing support for CFI). The arm64 pieces are Acked by arm64
maintainers rather than coming through the arm64 tree since carrying
this tree over there was going to be awkward.
CFI support for x86 is still under development, but is pretty close.
There are a handful of corner cases on x86 that need some improvements
to Clang and objtool, but otherwise works well.

With CONFIG_CFI_CLANG, a callback function passed to
__queue_delayed_work from a module points to a jump table entry
defined in the module instead of the one used in the core kernel,
which breaks function address equality in this check:
WARN_ON_ONCE(timer->function != delayed_work_timer_fn);
Use WARN_ON_FUNCTION_MISMATCH() instead to disable the warning
when CFI and modules are both enabled.

There are two workqueue-specific watchdog timestamps:
+ @wq_watchdog_touched_cpu (per-CPU) updated by
touch_softlockup_watchdog()
+ @wq_watchdog_touched (global) updated by
touch_all_softlockup_watchdogs()
watchdog_timer_fn() checks only the global @wq_watchdog_touched for
unbound workqueues. As a result, unbound workqueues are not aware
of touch_softlockup_watchdog(). The watchdog might report a stall
even when the unbound workqueues are blocked by a known slow code.
Solution:
touch_softlockup_watchdog() must touch also the global @wq_watchdog_touched
timestamp.
The global timestamp can no longer be used for bound workqueues because
it is now updated from all CPUs. Instead, bound workqueues have to check
only @wq_watchdog_touched_cpu and these timestamps have to be updated for
all CPUs in touch_all_softlockup_watchdogs().
Beware:
The change might cause the opposite problem. An unbound workqueue
might get blocked on CPU A because of a real softlockup. The workqueue
watchdog would miss it when the timestamp got touched on CPU B.
It is acceptable because softlockups are detected by softlockup
watchdog. The workqueue watchdog is there to detect stalls where
a work never finishes, for example, because of dependencies of works
queued into the same workqueue.

- Modify the commit message clearly according to Petr's suggestion.

Howveer, while in cpu-hot-unplug a regular task is not allowed to run
on online&&!active as it would be pushed away quite agressively. We
need KTHREAD_IS_PER_CPU to survive in that environment.
Therefore set the affinity after getting that magic flag.

Mark the per-cpu workqueue workers as KTHREAD_IS_PER_CPU.
Workqueues have unfortunate semantics in that per-cpu workers are not
default flushed and parked during hotplug, however a subset does
manual flush on hotplug and hard relies on them for correctness.
Therefore play silly games..

The scheduler won't break affinity for us any more, and we should
"emulate" the same behavior when the scheduler breaks affinity for
us. The behavior is "changing the cpumask to cpu_possible_mask".
And there might be some other CPUs online later while the worker is
still running with the pending work items. The worker should be allowed
to use the later online CPUs as before and process the work items ASAP.
If we use cpu_active_mask here, we can't achieve this goal but
using cpu_possible_mask can.

Patch series "kasan: add workqueue stack for generic KASAN", v5.
Syzbot reports many UAF issues for workqueue, see [1].
In some of these access/allocation happened in process_one_work(), we
see the free stack is useless in KASAN report, it doesn't help
programmers to solve UAF for workqueue issue.
This patchset improves KASAN reports by making them to have workqueue
queueing stack. It is useful for programmers to solve use-after-free or
double-free memory issue.
Generic KASAN also records the last two workqueue stacks and prints them
in KASAN report. It is only suitable for generic KASAN.
[1] https://groups.google.com/g/syzkaller-bugs/search?q=%22use-after-free%22+process_one_work
[2] https://bugzilla.kernel.org/show_bug.cgi?id=198437
This patch (of 4):
When analyzing use-after-free or double-free issue, recording the
enqueuing work stacks is helpful to preserve usage history which
potentially gives a hint about the affected code.
For workqueue it has turned out to be useful to record the enqueuing work
call stacks. Because user can see KASAN report to determine whether it is
root cause. They don't need to enable debugobjects, but they have a
chance to find out the root cause.

In realtime scenario, We do not want to have interference on the
isolated cpu cores. but when invoking alloc_workqueue() for percpu wq
on the housekeeping cpu, it kick a kworker on the isolated cpu.
alloc_workqueue
pwq_adjust_max_active
wake_up_worker
The comment in pwq_adjust_max_active() said:
"Need to kick a worker after thawed or an unbound wq's
max_active is bumped"
So it is unnecessary to kick a kworker for percpu's wq when invoking
alloc_workqueue(). this patch only kick a worker based on the actual
activation of delayed works.
