optimize_kprobe() and unoptimize_kprobe() cancels if a given kprobe
is on the optimizing_list or unoptimizing_list already. However, since
the following commit:

  f66c0447cca1 ("kprobes: Set unoptimized flag after unoptimizing code")

modified the update timing of the KPROBE_FLAG_OPTIMIZED, it doesn't
work as expected anymore.

The optimized_kprobe could be in the following states:

- [optimizing]: Before inserting jump instruction
  op.kp-&gt;flags has KPROBE_FLAG_OPTIMIZED and
  op-&gt;list is not empty.

- [optimized]: jump inserted
  op.kp-&gt;flags has KPROBE_FLAG_OPTIMIZED and
  op-&gt;list is empty.

- [unoptimizing]: Before removing jump instruction (including unused
  optprobe)
  op.kp-&gt;flags has KPROBE_FLAG_OPTIMIZED and
  op-&gt;list is not empty.

- [unoptimized]: jump removed
  op.kp-&gt;flags doesn't have KPROBE_FLAG_OPTIMIZED and
  op-&gt;list is empty.

Current code mis-expects [unoptimizing] state doesn't have
KPROBE_FLAG_OPTIMIZED, and that can cause incorrect results.

To fix this, introduce optprobe_queued_unopt() to distinguish [optimizing]
and [unoptimizing] states and fixes the logic in optimize_kprobe() and
unoptimize_kprobe().

[ mingo: Cleaned up the changelog and the code a bit. ]

Set the unoptimized flag after confirming the code is completely
unoptimized. Without this fix, when a kprobe hits the intermediate
modified instruction (the first byte is replaced by an INT3, but
later bytes can still be a jump address operand) while unoptimizing,
it can return to the middle byte of the modified code, which causes
an invalid instruction exception in the kernel.

Usually, this is a rare case, but if we put a probe on the function
call while text patching, it always causes a kernel panic as below:

 # echo p text_poke+5 &gt; kprobe_events
 # echo 1 &gt; events/kprobes/enable
 # echo 0 &gt; events/kprobes/enable

invalid opcode: 0000 [#1] PREEMPT SMP PTI
 RIP: 0010:text_poke+0x9/0x50
 Call Trace:
  arch_unoptimize_kprobe+0x22/0x28
  arch_unoptimize_kprobes+0x39/0x87

  kthread+0x10d/0x130
  ? kthread_park+0x80/0x80
  ret_from_fork+0x3a/0x50

text_poke() is used for patching the code in optprobes.

This can happen even if we blacklist text_poke() and other functions,
because there is a small time window during which we show the intermediate
code to other CPUs.

Pull scheduler updates from Ingo Molnar:

 - MAINTAINERS: Add Mark Rutland as perf submaintainer, Juri Lelli and
   Vincent Guittot as scheduler submaintainers. Add Dietmar Eggemann,
   Steven Rostedt, Ben Segall and Mel Gorman as scheduler reviewers.

   As perf and the scheduler is getting bigger and more complex,
   document the status quo of current responsibilities and interests,
   and spread the review pain^H^H^H^H fun via an increase in the Cc:
   linecount generated by scripts/get_maintainer.pl. :-)

 - Add another series of patches that brings the -rt (PREEMPT_RT) tree
   closer to mainline: split the monolithic CONFIG_PREEMPT dependencies
   into a new CONFIG_PREEMPTION category that will allow the eventual
   introduction of CONFIG_PREEMPT_RT. Still a few more hundred patches
   to go though.

 - Extend the CPU cgroup controller with uclamp.min and uclamp.max to
   allow the finer shaping of CPU bandwidth usage.

 - Micro-optimize energy-aware wake-ups from O(CPUS^2) to O(CPUS).

 - Improve the behavior of high CPU count, high thread count
   applications running under cpu.cfs_quota_us constraints.

 - Improve balancing with SCHED_IDLE (SCHED_BATCH) tasks present.

 - Improve CPU isolation housekeeping CPU allocation NUMA locality.

 - Fix deadline scheduler bandwidth calculations and logic when cpusets
   rebuilds the topology, or when it gets deadline-throttled while it's
   being offlined.

 - Convert the cpuset_mutex to percpu_rwsem, to allow it to be used from
   setscheduler() system calls without creating global serialization.
   Add new synchronization between cpuset topology-changing events and
   the deadline acceptance tests in setscheduler(), which were broken
   before.

 - Rework the active_mm state machine to be less confusing and more
   optimal.

 - Rework (simplify) the pick_next_task() slowpath.

 - Improve load-balancing on AMD EPYC systems.

<title>kprobes: Prohibit probing on BUG() and WARN() address</title>

<id>e336b4027775cb458dc713745e526fa1a1996b2a</id>
<content type='text'>
Since BUG() and WARN() may use a trap (e.g. UD2 on x86) to
get the address where the BUG() has occurred, kprobes can not
do single-step out-of-line that instruction. So prohibit
probing on such address.

Without this fix, if someone put a kprobe on WARN(), the
kernel will crash with invalid opcode error instead of
outputing warning message, because kernel can not find
correct bug address.

Allow kprobes which do not modify regs-&gt;ip, coexist with livepatch
by dropping FTRACE_OPS_FL_IPMODIFY from ftrace_ops.

User who wants to modify regs-&gt;ip (e.g. function fault injection)
must set a dummy post_handler to its kprobes when registering.
However, if such regs-&gt;ip modifying kprobes is set on a function,
that function can not be livepatched.

lockdep reports the following deadlock scenario:

 WARNING: possible circular locking dependency detected

 kworker/1:1/48 is trying to acquire lock:

 but task is already holding lock:
 00000000850b5e2d (module_mutex){+.+.}, at: kprobe_optimizer+0x31/0x290

 which lock already depends on the new lock.

  Possible unsafe locking scenario:

   lock(module_mutex);
                                lock(text_mutex);
                                lock(module_mutex);
   lock(text_mutex);

  *** DEADLOCK ***

As a reproducer I've been using bcc's funccount.py
(https://github.com/iovisor/bcc/blob/master/tools/funccount.py),
for example:

 # ./funccount.py '*interrupt*'

That immediately triggers the lockdep splat.

Fix by acquiring text_mutex before module_mutex in kprobe_optimizer().

CONFIG_PREEMPTION is selected by CONFIG_PREEMPT and by
CONFIG_PREEMPT_RT. Both PREEMPT and PREEMPT_RT require the same
functionality which today depends on CONFIG_PREEMPT.

Switch kprobes conditional over to CONFIG_PREEMPTION.

Since arm64 kernel initializes breakpoint trap vector in arch_initcall(),
initializing kprobe (and run smoke test) in postcore_initcall() causes
a kernel panic.

To fix this issue, move the kprobe initialization in subsys_initcall()
(which is called right afer the arch_initcall).

In-kernel kprobe users (ftrace and bpf) are using fs_initcall() which is
called after subsys_initcall(), so this shouldn't cause more problem.
