for_each_cpu() unintuitively reports CPU0 as set independend of the actual
cpumask content on UP kernels. That leads to a NULL pointer dereference
when the cleanup function is invoked and there is no event to clean up.

The lockdep code had reported the following unsafe locking scenario:
CPU0 CPU1
---- ----
lock(s_active#228);
lock(&bdev->bd_mutex/1);
lock(s_active#228);
lock(&bdev->bd_mutex);
*** DEADLOCK ***
The deadlock may happen when one task (CPU1) is trying to delete a
partition in a block device and another task (CPU0) is accessing
tracing sysfs file (e.g. /sys/block/dm-1/trace/act_mask) in that
partition.
The s_active isn't an actual lock. It is a reference count (kn->count)
on the sysfs (kernfs) file. Removal of a sysfs file, however, require
a wait until all the references are gone. The reference count is
treated like a rwsem using lockdep instrumentation code.
The fact that a thread is in the sysfs callback method or in the
ioctl call means there is a reference to the opended sysfs or device
file. That should prevent the underlying block structure from being
removed.
Instead of using bd_mutex in the block_device structure, a new
blk_trace_mutex is now added to the request_queue structure to protect
access to the blk_trace structure.

There was a reported suspicion about a race between exit_pi_state_list()
and put_pi_state(). The same report mentioned the comment with
put_pi_state() said it should be called with hb->lock held, and it no
longer is in all places.
As it turns out, the pi_state->owner serialization is indeed broken. As per
the new rules:
734009e96d19 ("futex: Change locking rules")
pi_state->owner should be serialized by pi_state->pi_mutex.wait_lock.
For the sites setting pi_state->owner we already hold wait_lock (where
required) but exit_pi_state_list() and put_pi_state() were not and
raced on clearing it.

Currently the stack tracer calls rcu_irq_enter() to make sure RCU
is watching when it records a stack trace. But if the stack tracer
is triggered while tracing inside of a rcu_irq_enter(), calling
rcu_irq_enter() unconditionally can be problematic.
The reason for having rcu_irq_enter() in the first place has been
fixed from within the saving of the stack trace code, and there's no
reason for doing it in the stack tracer itself. Just remove it.

If kernel_text_address() is called when RCU is not watching, it can cause an
RCU bug because is_module_text_address(), the is_kprobe_*insn_slot()
and is_bpf_text_address() functions require the use of RCU.
Only enable RCU if it is not currently watching before it calls
is_module_text_address(). The use of rcu_nmi_enter() is used to enable RCU
because kernel_text_address() can happen pretty much anywhere (like an NMI),
and even from within an NMI. It is called via save_stack_trace() that can be
called by any WARN() or tracing function, which can happen while RCU is not
watching (for example, going to or coming from idle, or during CPU take down
or bring up).

The functionality between kernel_text_address() and _kernel_text_address()
is the same except that _kernel_text_address() does a little more (that
function needs a rename, but that can be done another time). Instead of
having duplicate code in both, simply have _kernel_text_address() calls
kernel_text_address() instead.
This is marked for stable because there's an RCU bug that can happen if
one of these functions gets called while RCU is not watching. That fix
depends on this fix to keep from having to write the fix twice.

A number of architecture invoke rcu_irq_enter() on exception entry in
order to allow RCU read-side critical sections in the exception handler
when the exception is from an idle or nohz_full CPU. This works, at
least unless the exception happens in an NMI handler. In that case,
rcu_nmi_enter() would already have exited the extended quiescent state,
which would mean that rcu_irq_enter() would (incorrectly) cause RCU
to think that it is again in an extended quiescent state. This will
in turn result in lockdep splats in response to later RCU read-side
critical sections.
This commit therefore causes rcu_irq_enter() and rcu_irq_exit() to
take no action if there is an rcu_nmi_enter() in effect, thus avoiding
the unscheduled return to RCU quiescent state. This in turn should
make the kernel safe for on-demand RCU voyeurism.

The cgroup_taskset structure within the larger cgroup_mgctx structure
is supposed to be used once and then discarded. That is not really the
case in the hotplug code path:
cpuset_hotplug_workfn()
- cgroup_transfer_tasks()
- cgroup_migrate()
- cgroup_migrate_add_task()
- cgroup_migrate_execute()
In this case, the cgroup_migrate() function is called multiple time
with the same cgroup_mgctx structure to transfer the tasks from
one cgroup to another one-by-one. The second time cgroup_migrate()
is called, the cgroup_taskset will be in an incorrect state and so
may cause the system to panic. For example,

To allow reuse of the cgroup_mgctx structure, some fields in that
structure are now re-initialized at the end of cgroup_migrate_execute()
function call so that the structure can be reused again in a later
iteration without causing problem.
This bug was introduced in the commit e595cd706982 ("group: track
migration context in cgroup_mgctx") in 4.11. This commit moves the
cgroup_taskset initialization out of cgroup_migrate(). The commit
10467270fb3 ("cgroup: don't call migration methods if there are no
tasks to migrate") helped, but did not completely resolve the problem.

This patch fixes a bug exhibited by the following scenario:
1. fd1 = perf_event_open with attr.config = ID1
2. attach bpf program prog1 to fd1
3. fd2 = perf_event_open with attr.config = ID1
<this will be successful>
4. user program closes fd2 and prog1 is detached from the tracepoint.
5. user program with fd1 does not work properly as tracepoint
no output any more.
The issue happens at step 4. Multiple perf_event_open can be called
successfully, but only one bpf prog pointer in the tp_event. In the
current logic, any fd release for the same tp_event will free
the tp_event->prog.
The fix is to free tp_event->prog only when the closing fd
corresponds to the one which registered the program.

Commit 109980b894e9 ("bpf: don't select potentially stale
ri->map from buggy xdp progs") passed the pointer to the prog
itself to be loaded into r4 prior on bpf_redirect_map() helper
call, so that we can store the owner into ri->map_owner out of
the helper.
Issue with that is that the actual address of the prog is still
subject to change when subsequent rewrites occur that require
slow path in bpf_prog_realloc() to alloc more memory, e.g. from
patching inlining helper functions or constant blinding. Thus,
we really need to take prog->aux as the address we're holding,
which also works with prog clones as they share the same aux
object.
Instead of then fetching aux->prog during runtime, which could
potentially incur cache misses due to false sharing, we are
going to just use aux for comparison on the map owner. This
will also keep the patchlet of the same size, and later check
in xdp_map_invalid() only accesses read-only aux pointer from
the prog, it's also in the same cacheline already from prior
access when calling bpf_func.

syzkaller reported following splat [1]
Since hard irq are disabled by the caller, bpf_map_free_id()

Another solution would be to change htab_map_delete_elem() to

raw_spin_unlock_irqrestore(&b->lock, flags), but this might be not
enough to cover other code paths.

When reading data from trace_pipe, tracing_wait_pipe() performs a
check to see if tracing has been turned off after some data was read.
Currently, this check always looks at global trace state, but it
should be checking the trace instance where trace_pipe is located at.
Because of this bug, cat instances/i1/trace_pipe in the following
script will immediately exit instead of waiting for data:
cd /sys/kernel/debug/tracing

mkdir -p instances/i1

One convenient way to erase trace is "echo > trace". However, this
is currently broken if the current tracer is irqsoff tracer. This
is because irqsoff tracer use max_buffer as the default trace
buffer.
Set the max_buffer as the one to be cleared when it's the trace
buffer currently in use.

Now that we have added breaks in the wait queue scan and allow bookmark
on scan position, we put this logic in the wake_up_page_bit function.
We can have very long page wait list in large system where multiple
pages share the same wait list. We break the wake up walk here to allow
other cpus a chance to access the list, and not to disable the interrupts
when traversing the list for too long. This reduces the interrupt and
rescheduling latency, and excessive page wait queue lock hold time.

We encountered workloads that have very long wake up list on large
systems. A waker takes a long time to traverse the entire wake list and
execute all the wake functions.
We saw page wait list that are up to 3700+ entries long in tests of
large 4 and 8 socket systems. It took 0.8 sec to traverse such list
during wake up. Any other CPU that contends for the list spin lock will
spin for a long time. It is a result of the numa balancing migration of
hot pages that are shared by many threads.
Multiple CPUs waking are queued up behind the lock, and the last one
queued has to wait until all CPUs did all the wakeups.
The page wait list is traversed with interrupt disabled, which caused
various problems. This was the original cause that triggered the NMI
watch dog timer in: https://patchwork.kernel.org/patch/9800303/ . Only
extending the NMI watch dog timer there helped.
This patch bookmarks the waker's scan position in wake list and break
the wake up walk, to allow access to the list before the waker resume
its walk down the rest of the wait list. It lowers the interrupt and
rescheduling latency.
This patch also provides a performance boost when combined with the next
patch to break up page wakeup list walk. We saw 22% improvement in the
will-it-scale file pread2 test on a Xeon Phi system running 256 threads.
[ v2: Merged in Linus' changes to remove the bookmark_wake_function, and
simply access to flags. ]

All watchdog thread related functions are delegated to the smpboot thread
infrastructure, which handles serialization against CPU hotplug correctly.
The sysctl interface is completely decoupled from anything which requires
CPU hotplug protection.
No need to protect the sysctl writes against cpu hotplug anymore. Remove it
and add the now required protection to the powerpc arch_nmi_watchdog

The watchdog tries to create perf events even after it figured out that
perf is not functional or the requested event is not supported.
That's braindead as this can be done once at init time and if not supported
the NMI watchdog can be turned off unconditonally.
Implement the perf hardlockup detector functionality for that. This creates
a new event create function, which will replace the unholy mess of the
existing one in later patches.

The lockup detector reconfiguration tears down all watchdog threads when
the watchdog is disabled and sets them up again when its enabled.
That's a pointless exercise. The watchdog threads are not consuming an
insane amount of resources, so it's enough to set them up at init time and
keep them in parked position when the watchdog is disabled and unpark them
when it is reenabled. The smpboot thread infrastructure takes care of
keeping the force parked threads in place even across cpu hotplug.
Aside of that the code implements the park/unpark facility of smp hotplug
threads on its own, which is even more pointless. We have functionality in
the smpboot thread code to do so.
Use the new thread management functions and get rid of the unholy mess.

Another horrible mechanism are the open coded park/unpark loops which are
used for reconfiguration of the watchdog. The smpboot infrastructure allows
exactly the same via smpboot_update_cpumask_thread_percpu(), which is cpu
hotplug safe. Using that instead of the open coded loops allows to get rid
of the hotplug locking mess in the watchdog code.

smpboot_update_cpumask_threads_percpu() allocates a temporary cpumask at
runtime. This is suboptimal because the call site needs more code size for
proper error handling than a statically allocated temporary mask requires
data size.

further protection required.

b94f51183b06 ("kernel/watchdog: prevent false hardlockup on overloaded system")
tries to fix the following issue:
proc_write()
set_sample_period() <--- New sample period becoms visible
<----- Broken starts
proc_watchdog_update()
watchdog_enable_all_cpus() watchdog_hrtimer_fn()
update_watchdog_all_cpus() restart_timer(sample_period)
watchdog_park_threads()
thread->park()
disable_nmi()
<----- Broken ends
The reason why this is broken is that the update of the watchdog threshold
becomes immediately effective and visible for the hrtimer function which
uses that value to rearm the timer. But the NMI/perf side still uses the
old value up to the point where it is disabled. If the rate has been
lowered then the NMI can run fast enough to 'detect' a hard lockup because
the timer has not fired due to the longer period.
The patch 'fixed' this by adding a variable:
proc_write()
set_sample_period()
<----- Broken starts
proc_watchdog_update()
watchdog_enable_all_cpus() watchdog_hrtimer_fn()
update_watchdog_all_cpus() restart_timer(sample_period)
watchdog_park_threads()
park_in_progress = 1
<----- Broken ends
nmi_watchdog()
if (park_in_progress)
return;
The only effect of this variable was to make the window where the breakage
can hit small enough that it was not longer observable in testing. From a
correctness point of view it is a pointless bandaid which merily papers
over the root cause: the unsychronized update of the variable.
Looking deeper into the related code pathes unearthed similar problems in
the watchdog_start()/stop() functions.
watchdog_start()
perf_nmi_event_start()
hrtimer_start()
watchdog_stop()
hrtimer_cancel()
perf_nmi_event_stop()
In both cases the call order is wrong because if the tasks gets preempted
or the VM gets scheduled out long enough after the first call, then there is
a chance that the next NMI will see a stale hrtimer interrupt count and
trigger a false positive hard lockup splat.
Get rid of park_in_progress so the code can be gradually deobfuscated and
pruned from several layers of duct tape papering over the root cause,
which has been either ignored or not understood at all.
Once this is removed the underlying problem will be fixed by rewriting the
proc interface to do a proper synchronized update.
Address the start/stop() ordering problem as well by reverting the call
order, so this part is at least correct now.

The following deadlock is possible in the watchdog hotplug code:
cpus_write_lock()
...
takedown_cpu()
smpboot_park_threads()
smpboot_park_thread()
kthread_park()
->park() := watchdog_disable()
watchdog_nmi_disable()
perf_event_release_kernel();
put_event()
_free_event()
->destroy() := hw_perf_event_destroy()
x86_release_hardware()
release_ds_buffers()
get_online_cpus()
when a per cpu watchdog perf event is destroyed which drops the last
reference to the PMU hardware. The cleanup code there invokes
get_online_cpus() which instantly deadlocks because the hotplug percpu
rwsem is write locked.
To solve this add a deferring mechanism:
cpus_write_lock()
kthread_park()
watchdog_nmi_disable(deferred)
perf_event_disable(event);
move_event_to_deferred(event);
....
cpus_write_unlock()
cleaup_deferred_events()
perf_event_release_kernel()
This is still properly serialized against concurrent hotplug via the
cpu_add_remove_lock, which is held by the task which initiated the hotplug
event.
This is also used to handle event destruction when the watchdog threads are
parked via other mechanisms than CPU hotplug.

The self disabling feature is broken vs. CPU hotplug locking:
CPU 0 CPU 1
cpus_write_lock();
cpu_up(1)
wait_for_completion()
....
unpark_watchdog()
->unpark()
perf_event_create() <- fails
watchdog_enable &= ~NMI_WATCHDOG;
....
cpus_write_unlock();
CPU 2
cpus_write_lock()
cpu_down(2)
wait_for_completion()
wakeup(watchdog);
watchdog()
if (!(watchdog_enable & NMI_WATCHDOG))
watchdog_nmi_disable()
perf_event_disable()
....
cpus_read_lock();
stop_smpboot_threads()
park_watchdog();
wait_for_completion(watchdog->parked);
Result: End of hotplug and instantaneous full lockup of the machine.
There is a similar problem with disabling the watchdog via the user space
interface as the sysctl function fiddles with watchdog_enable directly.
It's very debatable whether this is required at all. If the watchdog works
nicely on N CPUs and it fails to enable on the N + 1 CPU either during
hotplug or because the user space interface disabled it via sysctl cpumask
and then some perf user grabbed the counter which is then unavailable for
the watchdog when the sysctl cpumask gets changed back.
There is no real justification for this.
One of the reasons WHY this is done is the utter stupidity of the init code
of the perf NMI watchdog. Instead of checking upfront at boot whether PERF
is available and functional at all, it just does this check at run time
over and over when user space fiddles with the sysctl. That's broken beyond
repair along with the idiotic error code dependent warn level printks and
the even more silly printk rate limiting.
If the init code checks whether perf works at boot time, then this mess can
be more or less avoided completely. Perf does not come magically into life
at runtime. Brain usage while coding is overrated.
Remove the cruft and add a temporary safe guard which gets removed later.

The function is only used by the KVM init code. Mark it __init to prevent
creative abuse.
