Per task wakeup while not running (wwnr) monitor.
This model is broken, the reason is that a task can be running in the
processor without being set as RUNNABLE. Think about a task about to
sleep:
1: set_current_state(TASK_UNINTERRUPTIBLE);
2: schedule();
And then imagine an IRQ happening in between the lines one and two,
waking the task up. BOOM, the wakeup will happen while the task is
running.
Q: Why do we need this model, so?
A: To test the reactors.

The wakeup in preemptive (wip) monitor verifies if the
wakeup events always take place with preemption disabled:
|
|
v
#==================#
H preemptive H <+
#==================# |
| |
| preempt_disable | preempt_enable
v |
sched_waking +------------------+ |
+--------------- | | |
| | non_preemptive | |
+--------------> | | -+
+------------------+
The wakeup event always takes place with preemption disabled because
of the scheduler synchronization. However, because the preempt_count
and its trace event are not atomic with regard to interrupts, some
inconsistencies might happen.
The documentation illustrates one of these cases.

THIS CODE IS NOT LINKED TO THE MAKEFILE.
This model does not compile because it lacks the instrumentation
part, which will be added next. In the typical case, there will be
only one patch, but it was split into two patches for educational
purposes.
This is the direct output this command line:

In Linux terms, the runtime verification monitors are encapsulated
inside the "RV monitor" abstraction. The "RV monitor" includes a set
of instances of the monitor (per-cpu monitor, per-task monitor, and
so on), the helper functions that glue the monitor to the system
reference model, and the trace output as a reaction for event parsing
and exceptions, as depicted below:
Linux +----- RV Monitor ----------------------------------+ Formal
Realm | | Realm
+-------------------+ +----------------+ +-----------------+
| Linux kernel | | Monitor | | Reference |
| Tracing | -> | Instance(s) | <- | Model |
| (instrumentation) | | (verification) | | (specification) |
+-------------------+ +----------------+ +-----------------+
| | |
| V |
| +----------+ |
| | Reaction | |
| +--+--+--+-+ |
| | | | |
| | | +-> trace output ? |
+------------------------|--|----------------------+
| +----> panic ?
+-------> <user-specified>
Add the rv/da_monitor.h, enabling automatic code generation for the
*Monitor Instance(s)* using C macros, and code to support it.
The benefits of the usage of macro for monitor synthesis are 3-fold as it:
- Reduces the code duplication;
- Facilitates the bug fix/improvement;
- Avoids the case of developers changing the core of the monitor code
to manipulate the model in a (let's say) non-standard way.
This initial implementation presents three different types of monitor
instances:
- DECLARE_DA_MON_GLOBAL(name, type)
- DECLARE_DA_MON_PER_CPU(name, type)
- DECLARE_DA_MON_PER_TASK(name, type)
The first declares the functions for a global deterministic automata monitor,
the second for monitors with per-cpu instances, and the third with per-task
instances.

A runtime monitor can cause a reaction to the detection of an
exception on the model's execution. By default, the monitors have
tracing reactions, printing the monitor output via tracepoints.
But other reactions can be added (on-demand) via this interface.
The user interface resembles the kernel tracing interface and
presents these files:
"available_reactors"
- Reading shows the available reactors, one per line.
For example:
# cat available_reactors
nop
panic
printk
"reacting_on"
- It is an on/off general switch for reactors, disabling
all reactions.
"monitors/MONITOR/reactors"
- List available reactors, with the select reaction for the given
MONITOR inside []. The default one is the nop (no operation)
reactor.
- Writing the name of a reactor enables it to the given
MONITOR.
For example:
# cat monitors/wip/reactors
[nop]
panic
printk
# echo panic > monitors/wip/reactors
# cat monitors/wip/reactors
nop
[panic]
printk

RV is a lightweight (yet rigorous) method that complements classical
exhaustive verification techniques (such as model checking and
theorem proving) with a more practical approach to complex systems.
RV works by analyzing the trace of the system's actual execution,
comparing it against a formal specification of the system behavior.
RV can give precise information on the runtime behavior of the
monitored system while enabling the reaction for unexpected
events, avoiding, for example, the propagation of a failure on
safety-critical systems.
The development of this interface roots in the development of the
paper:
De Oliveira, Daniel Bristot; Cucinotta, Tommaso; De Oliveira, Romulo
Silva. Efficient formal verification for the Linux kernel. In:
International Conference on Software Engineering and Formal Methods.
Springer, Cham, 2019. p. 315-332.
And:
De Oliveira, Daniel Bristot. Automata-based formal analysis
and verification of the real-time Linux kernel. PhD Thesis, 2020.
The RV interface resembles the tracing/ interface on purpose. The current
path for the RV interface is /sys/kernel/tracing/rv/.
It presents these files:
"available_monitors"
- List the available monitors, one per line.
For example:
# cat available_monitors
wip
wwnr
"enabled_monitors"
- Lists the enabled monitors, one per line;
- Writing to it enables a given monitor;
- Writing a monitor name with a '!' prefix disables it;
- Truncating the file disables all enabled monitors.
For example:
# cat enabled_monitors
# echo wip > enabled_monitors
# echo wwnr >> enabled_monitors
# cat enabled_monitors
wip
wwnr
# echo '!wip' >> enabled_monitors
# cat enabled_monitors
wwnr
# echo > enabled_monitors
# cat enabled_monitors
#
Note that more than one monitor can be enabled concurrently.
"monitoring_on"
- It is an on/off general switcher for monitoring. Note
that it does not disable enabled monitors or detach events,
but stop the per-entity monitors of monitoring the events
received from the system. It resembles the "tracing_on" switcher.
"monitors/"
Each monitor will have its one directory inside "monitors/". There
the monitor specific files will be presented.
The "monitors/" directory resembles the "events" directory on
tracefs.
For example:
# cd monitors/wip/
# ls
desc enable
# cat desc
wakeup in preemptive per-cpu testing monitor.
# cat enable
0
For further information, see the comments in the header of
kernel/trace/rv/rv.c from this patch.

Currently when creating a specific group of trace events,
take kprobe event as example, the user must use the following format:
p:GRP/EVENT [MOD:]KSYM[+OFFS]|KADDR [FETCHARGS],
which means user must enter EVENT name, one example is:
echo 'p:usb_gadget/config_usb_cfg_link config_usb_cfg_link $arg1' >> kprobe_events
It is not simple if there are too many entries because the event name is
the same as symbol name.
This change allows user to specify no EVENT name, format changed as:
p:GRP/ [MOD:]KSYM[+OFFS]|KADDR [FETCHARGS]
It will generate event name automatically and one example is:
echo 'p:usb_gadget/ config_usb_cfg_link $arg1' >> kprobe_events.

When I look into implements of create_hist_fields(), I think there can be
following two simplifications:
1. If something wrong happened in parse_var_defs(), free_var_defs() would
have been called in it, so no need goto free again after calling it;
2. After calling create_key_fields(), regardless of the value of 'ret', it
then always runs into 'out: ', so the judge of 'ret' is redundant.

It was brought up that on ARMv7, that because the FUNCTION_TRACER does not
use nops to keep function tracing disabled because of the use of a link
register, it does have some performance impact.
The start of functions when -pg is used to compile the kernel is:
push {lr}
bl 8010e7c0 <__gnu_mcount_nc>
When function tracing is tuned off, it becomes:
push {lr}
add sp, sp, #4
Which just puts the stack back to its normal location. But these two
instructions at the start of every function does incur some overhead.
Be more honest in the Kconfig FUNCTION_TRACER description and specify that
the overhead being in the noise was x86 specific, but other architectures
may vary.

If you drop into kdb and type "ftdump" you'll get a sleeping while
atomic warning from memory allocation in trace_find_next_entry().
This appears to have been caused by commit ff895103a84a ("tracing:
Save off entry when peeking at next entry"), which added the
allocation in that path. The problematic commit was already fixed by
commit 8e99cf91b99b ("tracing: Do not allocate buffer in
trace_find_next_entry() in atomic") but that fix missed the kdb case.
The fix here is easy: just move the assignment of the static buffer to
the place where it should have been to begin with:
trace_init_global_iter(). That function is called in two places, once
is right before the assignment of the static buffer added by the
previous fix and once is in kdb.
Note that it appears that there's a second static buffer that we need
to assign that was added in commit efbbdaa22bb7 ("tracing: Show real
address for trace event arguments"), so we'll move that too.

This reverts commit 46bbe5c671e06f070428b9be142cc4ee5cedebac.
As commit 46bbe5c671e0 ("tracing: fix double free") said, the
"double free" problem reported by clang static analyzer is:
> In parse_var_defs() if there is a problem allocating
> var_defs.expr, the earlier var_defs.name is freed.
> This free is duplicated by free_var_defs() which frees
> the rest of the list.
However, if there is a problem allocating N-th var_defs.expr:
+ in parse_var_defs(), the freed 'earlier var_defs.name' is
actually the N-th var_defs.name;
+ then in free_var_defs(), the names from 0th to (N-1)-th are freed;
IF ALLOCATING PROBLEM HAPPENED HERE!!! -+
\
|
0th 1th (N-1)-th N-th V
+-------------+-------------+-----+-------------+-----------
var_defs: | name | expr | name | expr | ... | name | expr | name | ///
+-------------+-------------+-----+-------------+-----------
These two frees don't act on same name, so there was no "double free"
problem before. Conversely, after that commit, we get a "memory leak"
problem because the above "N-th var_defs.name" is not freed.
If enable CONFIG_DEBUG_KMEMLEAK and inject a fault at where the N-th
var_defs.expr allocated, then execute on shell like:
$ echo 'hist:key=call_site:val=$v1,$v2:v1=bytes_req,v2=bytes_alloc' > \
/sys/kernel/debug/tracing/events/kmem/kmalloc/trigger
Then kmemleak reports:

EXPORT_SYMBOL and __init is a bad combination because the .init.text
section is freed up after the initialization. Hence, modules cannot
use symbols annotated __init. The access to a freed symbol may end up
with kernel panic.
modpost used to detect it, but it had been broken for a decade.
Commit 28438794aba4 ("modpost: fix section mismatch check for exported
init/exit sections") fixed it so modpost started to warn it again, then
this showed up:
MODPOST vmlinux.symvers
WARNING: modpost: vmlinux.o(___ksymtab_gpl+tick_nohz_full_setup+0x0): Section mismatch in reference from the variable __ksymtab_tick_nohz_full_setup to the function .init.text:tick_nohz_full_setup()
The symbol tick_nohz_full_setup is exported and annotated __init
Fix this by removing the __init annotation of tick_nohz_full_setup or drop the export.
Drop the export because tick_nohz_full_setup() is only called from the
built-in code in kernel/sched/isolation.c.

This reverts commit 2bb2b7b57f81255c13f4395ea911d6bdc70c9fe2.
The testing of 5.19 release candidates revealed missing synchronization
between early and regular console functionality.
It would be possible to start the console kthreads later as a workaround.
But it is clear that console lock serialized console drivers between
each other. It opens a big area of possible problems that were not
considered by people involved in the development and review.
printk() is crucial for debugging kernel issues and console output is
very important part of it. The number of consoles is huge and a proper
review would take some time. As a result it need to be reverted for 5.19.

kretprobe_dispatcher()
There is a small chance that get_kretprobe(ri) returns NULL in
kretprobe_dispatcher() when another CPU unregisters the kretprobe
right after __kretprobe_trampoline_handler().
To avoid this issue, kretprobe_dispatcher() checks the get_kretprobe()
return value again. And if it is NULL, it returns soon because that
kretprobe is under unregistering process.
This issue has been introduced when the kretprobe is decoupled
from the struct kretprobe_instance by commit d741bf41d7c7
("kprobes: Remove kretprobe hash"). Before that commit, the
struct kretprob_instance::rp directly points the kretprobe
and it is never be NULL.

Since the rethook_recycle() will involve the call_rcu() for reclaiming
the rethook_instance, the rethook must be set up at the RCU available
context (non idle). This rethook_recycle() in the rethook trampoline
handler is inevitable, thus the RCU available check must be done before
setting the rethook trampoline.
This adds a rcu_is_watching() check in the rethook_try_get() so that
it will return NULL if it is called when !rcu_is_watching().

Various places like I/O schedulers or the QOS infrastructure try to
register debugfs files on demans, which can race with creating and
removing the main queue debugfs directory. Use the existing
debugfs_mutex to serialize all debugfs operations that rely on
q->debugfs_dir or the directories hanging off it.
To make the teardown code a little simpler declare all debugfs dentry
pointers and not just the main one uncoditionally in blkdev.h.
Move debugfs_mutex next to the dentries that it protects and document
what it is used for.

When user specifies symbols and cookies for kprobe_multi link
interface it's very likely the cookies will be misplaced and
returned to wrong functions (via get_attach_cookie helper).
The reason is that to resolve the provided functions we sort
them before passing them to ftrace_lookup_symbols, but we do
not do the same sort on the cookie values.
Fixing this by using sort_r function with custom swap callback
that swaps cookie values as well.

any fatal signal
The comments in kernel/kthread.c create a feeling that only SIGKILL is
able to terminate the creation of kernel kthreads by
kthread_create()/_on_node()/_on_cpu() APIs.
In reality, wait_for_completion_killable() might be killed by any fatal
signal that does not have a custom handler:
(!siginmask(signr, SIG_KERNEL_IGNORE_MASK|SIG_KERNEL_STOP_MASK) && \
(t)->sighand->action[(signr)-1].sa.sa_handler == SIG_DFL)
static inline void signal_wake_up(struct task_struct *t, bool resume)
{
signal_wake_up_state(t, resume ? TASK_WAKEKILL : 0);
}
static void complete_signal(int sig, struct task_struct *p, enum pid_type type)
{
[...]
/*
* Found a killable thread. If the signal will be fatal,
* then start taking the whole group down immediately.
*/
if (sig_fatal(p, sig) ...) {
if (!sig_kernel_coredump(sig)) {
[...]
do {
task_clear_jobctl_pending(t, JOBCTL_PENDING_MASK);
sigaddset(&t->pending.signal, SIGKILL);
signal_wake_up(t, 1);
} while_each_thread(p, t);
return;
}
}
}
Update the comments in kernel/kthread.c to make this more obvious.
The motivation for this change was debugging why a module initialization
failed. The module was being loaded from initrd. It "magically" failed
when systemd was switching to the real root. The clean up operations sent
SIGTERM to various pending processed that were started from initrd.

Pull audit fix from Paul Moore:
"A single audit patch to fix a problem where we were not properly
freeing memory allocated when recording information related to a
module load"
* tag 'audit-pr-20220616' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/pcmoore/audit:
audit: free module name

Reset the type of the record last as the helper `audit_free_module()`
depends on it.

There are reports that the console kthreads block the global console
lock when the system is going down, for example, reboot, panic.
First part of the solution was to block kthreads in these problematic
system states so they stopped handling newly added messages.
Second part of the solution is to wait when for the kthreads when
they are actively printing. It solves the problem when a message
was printed before the system entered the problematic state and
the kthreads managed to step in.
A busy waiting has to be used because panic() can be called in any
context and in an unknown state of the scheduler.
There must be a timeout because the kthread might get stuck or sleeping
and never release the lock. The timeout 10s is an arbitrary value
inspired by the softlockup timeout.

There are known situations when the console kthreads are not
reliable or does not work in principle, for example, early boot,
panic, shutdown.
For these situations there is the direct (legacy) mode when printk() tries
to get console_lock() and flush the messages directly. It works very well
during the early boot when the console kthreads are not available at all.
It gets more complicated in the other situations when console kthreads
might be actively printing and block console_trylock() in printk().
The same problem is in the legacy code as well. Any console_lock()
owner could block console_trylock() in printk(). It is solved by
a trick that the current console_lock() owner is responsible for
printing all pending messages. It is actually the reason why there
is the risk of softlockups and why the console kthreads were
introduced.
The console kthreads use the same approach. They are responsible
for printing the messages by definition. So that they handle
the messages anytime when they are awake and see new ones.
The global console_lock is available when there is nothing
to do.
It should work well when the problematic context is correctly
detected and printk() switches to the direct mode. But it seems
that it is not enough in practice. There are reports that
the messages are not printed during panic() or shutdown()
even though printk() tries to use the direct mode here.
The problem seems to be that console kthreads become active in these
situation as well. They steel the job before other CPUs are stopped.
Then they are stopped in the middle of the job and block the global
console_lock.
First part of the solution is to block console kthreads when
the system is in a problematic state and requires the direct
printk() mode.
