rcu-tasks: Add data structures for lightweight grace periods

2022-06-20T16:22:28+00:00

This commit adds fields to task_struct and to rcu_tasks_percpu that will
be used to avoid the task-list scan for RCU Tasks Trace grace periods,
and also initializes these fields.

kcsan: Remove redundant zero-initialization of globals

2021-12-10T00:42:26+00:00

They are implicitly zero-initialized, remove explicit initialization.
It keeps the upcoming additions to kcsan_ctx consistent with the rest.

No functional change intended.

sched: Introduce task_struct::user_cpus_ptr to track requested affinity

2021-08-20T10:33:00+00:00

In preparation for saving and restoring the user-requested CPU affinity
mask of a task, add a new cpumask_t pointer to 'struct task_struct'.

If the pointer is non-NULL, then the mask is copied across fork() and
freed on task exit.

Change the type and name of task_struct::state. Drop the volatile and
shrink it to an 'unsigned int'. Rename it in order to find all uses
such that we can use READ_ONCE/WRITE_ONCE as appropriate.

seccomp: Fix CONFIG tests for Seccomp_filters

2021-03-31T05:33:50+00:00

Strictly speaking, seccomp filters are only used
when CONFIG_SECCOMP_FILTER.
This patch fixes the condition to enable "Seccomp_filters"

fgraph: Initialize tracing_graph_pause at task creation

2021-01-29T20:07:32+00:00

On some archs, the idle task can call into cpu_suspend(). The cpu_suspend()
will disable or pause function graph tracing, as there's some paths in
bringing down the CPU that can have issues with its return address being
modified. The task_struct structure has a "tracing_graph_pause" atomic
counter, that when set to something other than zero, the function graph
tracer will not modify the return address.

The problem is that the tracing_graph_pause counter is initialized when the
function graph tracer is enabled. This can corrupt the counter for the idle
task if it is suspended in these architectures.

   CPU 1				CPU 2
   -----				-----
  do_idle()
    cpu_suspend()
      pause_graph_tracing()
          task_struct->tracing_graph_pause++ (0 -> 1)

				start_graph_tracing()
				  for_each_online_cpu(cpu) {
				    ftrace_graph_init_idle_task(cpu)
				      task-struct->tracing_graph_pause = 0 (1 -> 0)

      unpause_graph_tracing()
          task_struct->tracing_graph_pause-- (0 -> -1)

The above should have gone from 1 to zero, and enabled function graph
tracing again. But instead, it is set to -1, which keeps it disabled.

There's no reason that the field tracing_graph_pause on the task_struct can
not be initialized at boot up.

kasan, arm64: only use kasan_depth for software modes

2020-12-22T20:55:07+00:00

This is a preparatory commit for the upcoming addition of a new hardware
tag-based (MTE-based) KASAN mode.

Hardware tag-based KASAN won't use kasan_depth.  Only define and use it
when one of the software KASAN modes are enabled.

No functional changes for software modes.

exec: Transform exec_update_mutex into a rw_semaphore

2020-12-10T19:13:32+00:00

Recently syzbot reported[0] that there is a deadlock amongst the users
of exec_update_mutex.  The problematic lock ordering found by lockdep
was:

   perf_event_open  (exec_update_mutex -> ovl_i_mutex)
   chown            (ovl_i_mutex       -> sb_writes)
   sendfile         (sb_writes         -> p->lock)
     by reading from a proc file and writing to overlayfs
   proc_pid_syscall (p->lock           -> exec_update_mutex)

While looking at possible solutions it occured to me that all of the
users and possible users involved only wanted to state of the given
process to remain the same.  They are all readers.  The only writer is
exec.

There is no reason for readers to block on each other.  So fix
this deadlock by transforming exec_update_mutex into a rw_semaphore
named exec_update_lock that only exec takes for writing.

io_uring: don't rely on weak ->files references

2020-10-01T02:32:32+00:00

Grab actual references to the files_struct. To avoid circular references
issues due to this, we add a per-task note that keeps track of what
io_uring contexts a task has used. When the tasks execs or exits its
assigned files, we cancel requests based on this tracking.

With that, we can grab proper references to the files table, and no
longer need to rely on stashing away ring_fd and ring_file to check
if the ring_fd may have been closed.

Merge tag 'for-linus' of git://github.com/openrisc/linux

Pull OpenRISC updates from Stafford Horne:
 "A few patches all over the place during this cycle, mostly bug and
  sparse warning fixes for OpenRISC, but a few enhancements too. Note,
  there are 2 non OpenRISC specific fixups.

  Non OpenRISC fixes:

   - In init we need to align the init_task correctly to fix an issue
     with MUTEX_FLAGS, reviewed by Peter Z. No one picked this up so I
     kept it on my tree.

   - In asm-generic/io.h I fixed up some sparse warnings, OK'd by Arnd.
     Arnd asked to merge it via my tree.

  OpenRISC fixes:

   - Many fixes for OpenRISC sprase warnings.

   - Add support OpenRISC SMP tlb flushing rather than always flushing
     the entire TLB on every CPU.

   - Fix bug when dumping stack via /proc/xxx/stack of user threads"
