Pull locking updates from Ingo Molnar:
"The main changes in this cycle are:
- rwsem scalability improvements, phase #2, by Waiman Long, which are
rather impressive:
"On a 2-socket 40-core 80-thread Skylake system with 40 reader
and writer locking threads, the min/mean/max locking operations
done in a 5-second testing window before the patchset were:
40 readers, Iterations Min/Mean/Max = 1,807/1,808/1,810
40 writers, Iterations Min/Mean/Max = 1,807/50,344/151,255
After the patchset, they became:
40 readers, Iterations Min/Mean/Max = 30,057/31,359/32,741
40 writers, Iterations Min/Mean/Max = 94,466/95,845/97,098"
There's a lot of changes to the locking implementation that makes
it similar to qrwlock, including owner handoff for more fair
locking.
Another microbenchmark shows how across the spectrum the
improvements are:
"With a locking microbenchmark running on 5.1 based kernel, the
total locking rates (in kops/s) on a 2-socket Skylake system
with equal numbers of readers and writers (mixed) before and
after this patchset were:
# of Threads Before Patch After Patch
------------ ------------ -----------
2 2,618 4,193
4 1,202 3,726
8 802 3,622
16 729 3,359
32 319 2,826
64 102 2,744"
The changes are extensive and the patch-set has been through
several iterations addressing various locking workloads. There
might be more regressions, but unless they are pathological I
believe we want to use this new implementation as the baseline
going forward.
- jump-label optimizations by Daniel Bristot de Oliveira: the primary
motivation was to remove IPI disturbance of isolated RT-workload
CPUs, which resulted in the implementation of batched jump-label
updates. Beyond the improvement of the real-time characteristics
kernel, in one test this patchset improved static key update
overhead from 57 msecs to just 1.4 msecs - which is a nice speedup
as well.
- atomic64_t cross-arch type cleanups by Mark Rutland: over the last
~10 years of atomic64_t existence the various types used by the
APIs only had to be self-consistent within each architecture -
which means they became wildly inconsistent across architectures.
Mark puts and end to this by reworking all the atomic64
implementations to use 's64' as the base type for atomic64_t, and
to ensure that this type is consistently used for parameters and
return values in the API, avoiding further problems in this area.
- A large set of small improvements to lockdep by Yuyang Du: type
cleanups, output cleanups, function return type and othr cleanups
all around the place.
- A set of percpu ops cleanups and fixes by Peter Zijlstra.
- Misc other changes - please see the Git log for more details"

Break out parts of mshyperv.h that are ISA independent into a
separate file in include/asm-generic. This move facilitates
ARM64 code reusing these definitions and avoids code

Currently the governors are declared in their respective files but they
export their [un]register functions which in turn call the [un]register
governors core's functions. That implies a cyclic dependency which is
not desirable. There is a way to self-encapsulate the governors by letting
them to declare themselves in a __init section table.
Define the table in the asm generic linker description like the other
tables and provide the specific macros to deal with.

This file implements the flat get/put reloc helpers for architectures
that do not need to overload the relocs by simply using get_user/put_user.
Note that many nommu architectures currently use {get,put}_unaligned, which
looks a little bogus and should probably later be switched over to this
version as well.

This patch implements dynamic ftrace for PA-RISC. The required mcount
call sequences can get pretty long, so instead of patching the
whole call sequence out of the functions, we are using
-fpatchable-function-entry from gcc. This puts a configurable amount of
NOPS before/at the start of the function. Taking do_sys_open() as example,
which would look like this when the call is patched out:
1036b248: 08 00 02 40 nop
1036b24c: 08 00 02 40 nop
1036b250: 08 00 02 40 nop
1036b254: 08 00 02 40 nop
1036b258 <do_sys_open>:
1036b258: 08 00 02 40 nop
1036b25c: 08 03 02 41 copy r3,r1
1036b260: 6b c2 3f d9 stw rp,-14(sp)
1036b264: 08 1e 02 43 copy sp,r3
1036b268: 6f c1 01 00 stw,ma r1,80(sp)
When ftrace gets enabled for this function the kernel will patch these
NOPs to:
1036b248: 10 19 57 20 <address of ftrace>
1036b24c: 6f c1 00 80 stw,ma r1,40(sp)
1036b250: 48 21 3f d1 ldw -18(r1),r1
1036b254: e8 20 c0 02 bv,n r0(r1)
1036b258 <do_sys_open>:
1036b258: e8 3f 1f df b,l,n .-c,r1
1036b25c: 08 03 02 41 copy r3,r1
1036b260: 6b c2 3f d9 stw rp,-14(sp)
1036b264: 08 1e 02 43 copy sp,r3
1036b268: 6f c1 01 00 stw,ma r1,80(sp)
So the first NOP in do_sys_open() will be patched to jump backwards into
some minimal trampoline code which pushes a stackframe, saves r1 which
holds the return address, loads the address of the real ftrace function,
and branches to that location. For 64 Bit things are getting a bit more
complicated (and longer) because we must make sure that the address of
ftrace location is 8 byte aligned, and the offset passed to ldd for
fetching the address is 8 byte aligned as well.
Note that gcc has a bug which misplaces the function label, and needs a
patch to make dynamic ftrace work. See
https://gcc.gnu.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=90751 for details.

As a step towards making the atomic64 API use consistent types treewide,
let's have the generic atomic64 implementation use s64 as the underlying
type for atomic64_t, rather than long long, matching the generated
headers.
Otherwise, there should be no functional change as a result of this
patch.

This is a bit of a mess, to put it mildly. But, it's a bug
that only seems to have showed up in 4.20 but wasn't noticed
until now, because nobody uses MPX.
MPX has the arch_unmap() hook inside of munmap() because MPX
uses bounds tables that protect other areas of memory. When
memory is unmapped, there is also a need to unmap the MPX
bounds tables. Barring this, unused bounds tables can eat 80%
of the address space.
But, the recursive do_munmap() that gets called vi arch_unmap()
wreaks havoc with __do_munmap()'s state. It can result in
freeing populated page tables, accessing bogus VMA state,
double-freed VMAs and more.
See the "long story" further below for the gory details.
To fix this, call arch_unmap() before __do_unmap() has a chance
to do anything meaningful. Also, remove the 'vma' argument
and force the MPX code to do its own, independent VMA lookup.
== UML / unicore32 impact ==
Remove unused 'vma' argument to arch_unmap(). No functional
change.
I compile tested this on UML but not unicore32.
== powerpc impact ==
powerpc uses arch_unmap() well to watch for munmap() on the
VDSO and zeroes out 'current->mm->context.vdso_base'. Moving
arch_unmap() makes this happen earlier in __do_munmap(). But,
'vdso_base' seems to only be used in perf and in the signal
delivery that happens near the return to userspace. I can not
find any likely impact to powerpc, other than the zeroing
happening a little earlier.
powerpc does not use the 'vma' argument and is unaffected by
its removal.
I compile-tested a 64-bit powerpc defconfig.
== x86 impact ==
For the common success case this is functionally identical to
what was there before. For the munmap() failure case, it's
possible that some MPX tables will be zapped for memory that
continues to be in use. But, this is an extraordinarily
unlikely scenario and the harm would be that MPX provides no
protection since the bounds table got reset (zeroed).
I can't imagine anyone doing this:
ptr = mmap();
// use ptr
ret = munmap(ptr);
if (ret)
// oh, there was an error, I'll
// keep using ptr.
Because if you're doing munmap(), you are *done* with the
memory. There's probably no good data in there _anyway_.
This passes the original reproducer from Richard Biener as
well as the existing mpx selftests/.
The long story:
munmap() has a couple of pieces:
1. Find the affected VMA(s)
2. Split the start/end one(s) if neceesary
3. Pull the VMAs out of the rbtree
4. Actually zap the memory via unmap_region(), including
freeing page tables (or queueing them to be freed).
5. Fix up some of the accounting (like fput()) and actually
free the VMA itself.
This specific ordering was actually introduced by:
dd2283f2605e ("mm: mmap: zap pages with read mmap_sem in munmap")
during the 4.20 merge window. The previous __do_munmap() code
was actually safe because the only thing after arch_unmap() was
remove_vma_list(). arch_unmap() could not see 'vma' in the
rbtree because it was detached, so it is not even capable of
doing operations unsafe for remove_vma_list()'s use of 'vma'.
Richard Biener reported a test that shows this in dmesg:
[1216548.787498] BUG: Bad rss-counter state mm:0000000017ce560b idx:1 val:551
[1216548.787500] BUG: non-zero pgtables_bytes on freeing mm: 24576
What triggered this was the recursive do_munmap() called via
arch_unmap(). It was freeing page tables that has not been
properly zapped.
But, the problem was bigger than this. For one, arch_unmap()
can free VMAs. But, the calling __do_munmap() has variables
that *point* to VMAs and obviously can't handle them just
getting freed while the pointer is still in use.
I tried a couple of things here. First, I tried to fix the page
table freeing problem in isolation, but I then found the VMA
issue. I also tried having the MPX code return a flag if it
modified the rbtree which would force __do_munmap() to re-walk
to restart. That spiralled out of control in complexity pretty
fast.
Just moving arch_unmap() and accepting that the bonkers failure
case might eat some bounds tables seems like the simplest viable
fix.
This was also reported in the following kernel bugzilla entry:
https://bugzilla.kernel.org/show_bug.cgi?id=203123
There are some reports that this commit triggered this bug:
dd2283f2605 ("mm: mmap: zap pages with read mmap_sem in munmap")
While that commit certainly made the issues easier to hit, I believe
the fundamental issue has been with us as long as MPX itself, thus
the Fixes: tag below is for one of the original MPX commits.

Problem:
When a kernel module is compiled as a separate module, some important
information about the kernel module is available via .modinfo section of
the module. In contrast, when the kernel module is compiled into the
kernel, that information is not available.
Information about built-in modules is necessary in the following cases:
1. When it is necessary to find out what additional parameters can be
passed to the kernel at boot time.
2. When you need to know which module names and their aliases are in
the kernel. This is very useful for creating an initrd image.
Proposal:
The proposed patch does not remove .modinfo section with module
information from the vmlinux at the build time and saves it into a
separate file after kernel linking. So, the kernel does not increase in
size and no additional information remains in it. Information is stored
in the same format as in the separate modules (null-terminated string
array). Because the .modinfo section is already exported with a separate
modules, we are not creating a new API.
It can be easily read in the userspace:

x86 has an nmi_uaccess_okay(), but other architectures do not.
Arch-independent code might need to know whether access to user
addresses is ok in an NMI context or in other code whose execution
context is unknown. Specifically, this function is needed for
bpf_probe_write_user().
Add a default implementation of nmi_uaccess_okay() for architectures
that do not have such a function.

The following warning occurred on s390:
WARNING: CPU: 0 PID: 804 at kernel/locking/lockdep.c:1025 lockdep_register_key+0x30/0x150
This is because the check in static_obj() assumes that all memory within
[_stext, _end] belongs to static objects, which at least for s390 isn't
true. The init section is also part of this range, and freeing it allows
the buddy allocator to allocate memory from it. We have virt == phys for
the kernel on s390, so that such allocations would then have addresses
within the range [_stext, _end].
To fix this, introduce arch_is_kernel_initmem_freed(), similar to
arch_is_kernel_text/data(), and add it to the checks in static_obj().
This will always return 0 on architectures that do not define
arch_is_kernel_initmem_freed. On s390, it will return 1 if initmem has
been freed and the address is in the range [__init_begin, __init_end].

After removing the start and count arguments of syscall_get_arguments() it
seems reasonable to remove them from syscall_set_arguments(). Note, as of
today, there are no users of syscall_set_arguments(). But we are told that
there will be soon. But for now, at least make it consistent with
syscall_get_arguments().

At Linux Plumbers, Andy Lutomirski approached me and pointed out that the
function call syscall_get_arguments() implemented in x86 was horribly
written and not optimized for the standard case of passing in 0 and 6 for
the starting index and the number of system calls to get. When looking at
all the users of this function, I discovered that all instances pass in only
0 and 6 for these arguments. Instead of having this function handle
different cases that are never used, simply rewrite it to return the first 6
arguments of a system call.
This should help out the performance of tracing system calls by ptrace,
ftrace and perf.
