This moves pidfds from the anonymous inode infrastructure to a tiny
pseudo filesystem. This has been on my todo for quite a while as it will
unblock further work that we weren't able to do simply because of the
very justified limitations of anonymous inodes. Moving pidfds to a tiny
pseudo filesystem allows:
* statx() on pidfds becomes useful for the first time.
* pidfds can be compared simply via statx() and then comparing inode
numbers.
* pidfds have unique inode numbers for the system lifetime.
* struct pid is now stashed in inode->i_private instead of
file->private_data. This means it is now possible to introduce
concepts that operate on a process once all file descriptors have been
closed. A concrete example is kill-on-last-close.
* file->private_data is freed up for per-file options for pidfds.
* Each struct pid will refer to a different inode but the same struct
pid will refer to the same inode if it's opened multiple times. In
contrast to now where each struct pid refers to the same inode. Even
if we were to move to anon_inode_create_getfile() which creates new
inodes we'd still be associating the same struct pid with multiple
different inodes.
The tiny pseudo filesystem is not visible anywhere in userspace exactly
like e.g., pipefs and sockfs. There's no lookup, there's no complex
inode operations, nothing. Dentries and inodes are always deleted when
the last pidfd is closed.
We allocate a new inode for each struct pid and we reuse that inode for
all pidfds. We use iget_locked() to find that inode again based on the
inode number which isn't recycled. We allocate a new dentry for each
pidfd that uses the same inode. That is similar to anonymous inodes
which reuse the same inode for thousands of dentries. For pidfds we're
talking way less than that. There usually won't be a lot of concurrent
openers of the same struct pid. They can probably often be counted on
two hands. I know that systemd does use separate pidfd for the same
struct pid for various complex process tracking issues. So I think with
that things actually become way simpler. Especially because we don't
have to care about lookup. Dentries and inodes continue to be always
deleted.
The code is entirely optional and fairly small. If it's not selected we
fallback to anonymous inodes. Heavily inspired by nsfs which uses a
similar stashing mechanism just for namespaces.

Fix to allocate fprobe::entry_data_size buffer with rethook instances.
If fprobe doesn't allocate entry_data_size buffer for each rethook instance,
fprobe entry handler can cause a buffer overrun when storing entry data in

Replace deprecated 0-length array in struct bpf_lpm_trie_key with
flexible array. Found with GCC 13:

And found at run-time under CONFIG_FORTIFY_SOURCE:
UBSAN: array-index-out-of-bounds in kernel/bpf/lpm_trie.c:218:49
index 0 is out of range for type '__u8 [*]'
Changing struct bpf_lpm_trie_key is difficult since has been used by
userspace. For example, in Cilium:
struct egress_gw_policy_key {
struct bpf_lpm_trie_key lpm_key;
__u32 saddr;
__u32 daddr;
};
While direct references to the "data" member haven't been found, there
are static initializers what include the final member. For example,
the "{}" here:
struct egress_gw_policy_key in_key = {
.lpm_key = { 32 + 24, {} },
.saddr = CLIENT_IP,
.daddr = EXTERNAL_SVC_IP & 0Xffffff,
};
To avoid the build time and run time warnings seen with a 0-sized
trailing array for struct bpf_lpm_trie_key, introduce a new struct
that correctly uses a flexible array for the trailing bytes,
struct bpf_lpm_trie_key_u8. As part of this, include the "header"
portion (which is just the "prefixlen" member), so it can be used
by anything building a bpf_lpr_trie_key that has trailing members that
aren't a u8 flexible array (like the self-test[1]), which is named
struct bpf_lpm_trie_key_hdr.
Unfortunately, C++ refuses to parse the __struct_group() helper, so
it is not possible to define struct bpf_lpm_trie_key_hdr directly in
struct bpf_lpm_trie_key_u8, so we must open-code the union directly.
Adjust the kernel code to use struct bpf_lpm_trie_key_u8 through-out,
and for the selftest to use struct bpf_lpm_trie_key_hdr. Add a comment
to the UAPI header directing folks to the two new options.

Boqun pointed out that workqueues aren't handling BH work items on offlined
CPUs. Unlike tasklet which transfers out the pending tasks from
CPUHP_SOFTIRQ_DEAD, BH workqueue would just leave them pending which is
problematic. Note that this behavior is specific to BH workqueues as the
non-BH per-CPU workers just become unbound when the CPU goes offline.
This patch fixes the issue by draining the pending BH work items from an
offlined CPU from CPUHP_SOFTIRQ_DEAD. Because work items carry more context,
it's not as easy to transfer the pending work items from one pool to
another. Instead, run BH work items which execute the offlined pools on an
online CPU.
Note that this assumes that no further BH work items will be queued on the
offlined CPUs. This assumption is shared with tasklet and should be fine for
conversions. However, this issue also exists for per-CPU workqueues which
will just keep executing work items queued after CPU offline on unbound
workers and workqueue should reject per-CPU and BH work items queued on
offline CPUs. This will be addressed separately later.

The update_cpumask(), checks for newly requested cpumask by calling
validate_change(), which returns an error on passing an invalid set
of cpu(s). Independent of the error returned, update_cpumask() always
returns zero, suppressing the error and returning success to the user
on writing an invalid cpu range for a cpuset. Fix it by returning
retval instead, which is returned by validate_change().

When comparing the current struct sched_group with the yet-busiest
domain in update_sd_pick_busiest(), if the two groups have the same
group type, we're currently doing a bit of unnecessary work for any
group >= group_misfit_task. We're comparing the two groups, and then
returning only if false (the group in question is not the busiest).
Otherwise, we break out, do an extra unnecessary conditional check that's
vacuously false for any group type > group_fully_busy, and then always
return true.
Let's just return directly in the switch statement instead. This doesn't
change the size of vmlinux with llvm 17 (not surprising given that all
of this is inlined in load_balance()), but it does shrink load_balance()
by 88 bytes on x86. Given that it also improves readability, this seems
worth doing.

In update_sd_pick_busiest(), when comparing two sched groups that are
both of type group_misfit_task, we currently consider the new group as
busier than the current busiest group even if the new group has the
same misfit task load as the current busiest group. We can avoid some
unnecessary writes if we instead only consider the newest group to be
the busiest if it has a higher load than the current busiest. This
matches the behavior of other group types where we compare load, such as
two groups that are both overloaded.
Let's update the group_misfit_task type comparison to also only update
the busiest group in the event of strict inequality.

When picking a CPU on task wakeup, select_idle_core() has to take
into account the scheduling domain where the function looks for the CPU.
This is because the "isolcpus" kernel command line option can remove CPUs
from the domain to isolate them from other SMT siblings.
This change replaces the set of CPUs allowed to run the task from
p->cpus_ptr by the intersection of p->cpus_ptr and sched_domain_span(sd)
which is stored in the 'cpus' argument provided by select_idle_cpu().

But if the CPU is offline, the tick has been cancelled and there is
consequently no need to further stop the tick.
2) Remote expiry: when a CPU remotely expires global timers on behalf of
another CPU, the latter target's next timer is re-evaluated
afterwards. However remote expîry doesn't happen on offline CPUs.
3) IRQ exit: on nohz_full mode, the tick is (re-)evaluated on IRQ exit.
But full dynticks is disabled on offline CPUs.
Therefore it is safe to assume that no next dyntick timer lookup can
be performed on offline CPUs.
Assert this expectation to report any surprise.

The timekeeping duty is handed over from the outgoing CPU on stop
machine, then the oneshot tick is stopped right after. Therefore it's
guaranteed that the current CPU isn't the timekeeper upon its last call
to idle.
Besides, calling tick_nohz_idle_stop_tick() while the dying CPU goes
into idle suggests that the tick is going to be stopped while it is
actually stopped already from the appropriate CPU hotplug state.
Remove the confusing call and the obsolete case handling and convert it
to a sanity check that verifies the above assumption.

The timekeeping duty is handed over from the outgoing CPU within stop
machine. This works well if CONFIG_NO_HZ_COMMON=n or the tick is in
high-res mode. However in low-res dynticks mode, the tick isn't
cancelled until the clockevent is shut down, which can happen later. The
tick may therefore fire again once IRQs are re-enabled on stop machine
and until IRQs are disabled for good upon the last call to idle.
That's so many opportunities for a timekeeper to go idle and the
outgoing CPU to take over that duty. This is why
tick_nohz_idle_stop_tick() is called one last time on idle if the CPU
is seen offline: so that the timekeeping duty is handed over again in
case the CPU has re-taken the duty.
This means there are two timekeeping handovers on CPU down hotplug with
different undocumented constraints and purposes:
1) A handover on stop machine for !dynticks || highres. All online CPUs
are guaranteed to be non-idle and the timekeeping duty can be safely
handed-over. The hrtimer tick is cancelled so it is guaranteed that in
dynticks mode the outgoing CPU won't take again the duty.
2) A handover on last idle call for dynticks && lowres. Setting the
duty to TICK_DO_TIMER_NONE makes sure that a CPU will take over the
timekeeping.
Prepare for consolidating the handover to a single place (the first one)
with shutting down the low-res tick as well from
tick_cancel_sched_timer() as well. This will simplify the handover and
unify the tick cancellation between high-res and low-res.

The nohz mode field tells about low resolution nohz mode or high
resolution nohz mode but it doesn't tell about high resolution non-nohz
mode.
In order to retrieve the latter state, tick_cancel_sched_timer() must
fiddle with struct hrtimer's internals to guess if the tick has been
initialized in high resolution.
Move instead the nohz mode field information into the tick flags and
provide two new bits: one to know if the tick is in nohz mode and
another one to know if the tick is in high resolution. The combination
of those two flags provides all the needed informations to determine
which of the three tick modes is running.

The individual bitfields of struct tick_sched must be modified from
IRQs disabled places, otherwise local modifications can race due to them
sharing the same memory storage.
The recent move of the "got_idle_tick" bitfield to its own storage shows
that the use of these bitfields, as pretty as they look, can be as much
error prone.
In order to avoid future issues of the like and make sure that those
bitfields are safely accessed, move those flags to an explicit mask
along with a mutator function performing the basic IRQs disabled sanity
check.

tick_nohz_idle_got_tick() is called by cpuidle_reflect() within the idle
loop with interrupts enabled. This function modifies the struct
tick_sched's bitfield "got_idle_tick". However this bitfield is stored
within the same mask as other bitfields that can be modified from
interrupts.
Fortunately so far it looks like the only race that can happen is while
writing ->got_idle_tick to 0, an interrupt fires and writes the
->idle_active field to 0. It's then possible that the interrupted write
to ->got_idle_tick writes back the old value of ->idle_active back to 1.
However if that happens, the worst possible outcome is that the time
spent between that interrupt and the upcoming call to
tick_nohz_idle_exit() is accounted as idle, which is negligible quantity.
Still all the bitfield writes within this struct tick_sched's shadow
mask should be IRQ-safe. Therefore move this bitfield out to its own
storage to avoid further suprises.

The full-nohz update function checks if the nohz mode is active before
proceeding. It considers one exception though: if the tick is already
stopped even though the nohz mode is inactive, it still moves on in
order to update/restart the tick if needed.
However in order for the tick to be stopped, the nohz_mode has to be
either NOHZ_MODE_LOWRES or NOHZ_MODE_HIGHRES. Therefore it doesn't make
sense to test if the tick is stopped before verifying NOHZ_MODE_INACTIVE
mode.
Remove the needless related condition.

The broadcast shutdown code is executed through a random explicit call
within stop machine from the outgoing CPU.
However the tick broadcast is a midware between the tick callback and
the clocksource, therefore it makes more sense to shut it down after the
tick callback and before the clocksource drivers.
Move it instead to the common tick shutdown CPU hotplug state where
related operations can be ordered from highest to lowest level.

During the CPU offlining process, the various timer tick features are
shut down from scattered places, sometimes from teardown callbacks on
stop machine, sometimes through explicit calls, sometimes from the
control CPU after the CPU died. The reason why these shutdown operations
are spread around is not always clear and it makes the tick lifecycle
hard to follow.
The tick should be shut down in order from highest to lowest level:
On stop machine from the dying CPU (high-level):
1) Hand-over the timekeeping duty (tick_handover_do_timer())
2) Cancel the tick implementation called by the clockevent callback
(tick_cancel_sched_timer())
3) Shutdown broadcasting (tick_offline_cpu() / tick_broadcast_offline())
On stop machine from the dying CPU (low-level):
4) Shutdown clockevents drivers (CPUHP_AP_*_TIMER_STARTING states)
From the control CPU after the CPU died (low-level):
5) Shutdown/unregister/cleanup clockevents for the dead CPU
(tick_cleanup_dead_cpu())
Instead the current order is 2, 4 (both from CPU hotplug states), then
1 and 3 through direct calls. This layout and order don't make much
sense. The operations 1, 2, 3 should be gathered together and in order.
Sort this situation with creating a new TICK shut-down CPU hotplug state
and start with introducing the timekeeping duty hand-over there. The
state must precede hrtimers migration because the tick hrtimer will be
stopped from it in a further patch.

The current code will scan the entirety of each per-CPU list of exiting
tasks in ->rtp_exit_list with interrupts disabled. This is normally just
fine, because each CPU typically won't have very many tasks in this state.
However, if a large number of tasks block late in do_exit(), these lists
could be arbitrarily long. Low probability, perhaps, but it really
could happen.
This commit therefore occasionally re-enables interrupts while traversing
these lists, inserting a dummy element to hold the current place in the
list. In kernels built with CONFIG_PREEMPT_RT=y, this re-enabling happens
after each list element is processed, otherwise every one-to-two jiffies.

Holding a mutex across synchronize_rcu_tasks() and acquiring
that same mutex in code called from do_exit() after its call to
exit_tasks_rcu_start() but before its call to exit_tasks_rcu_stop()
results in deadlock. This is by design, because tasks that are far
enough into do_exit() are no longer present on the tasks list, making
it a bit difficult for RCU Tasks to find them, let alone wait on them
to do a voluntary context switch. However, such deadlocks are becoming
more frequent. In addition, lockdep currently does not detect such
deadlocks and they can be difficult to reproduce.
In addition, if a task voluntarily context switches during that time
(for example, if it blocks acquiring a mutex), then this task is in an
RCU Tasks quiescent state. And with some adjustments, RCU Tasks could
just as well take advantage of that fact.
This commit therefore eliminates these deadlock by replacing the
SRCU-based wait for do_exit() completion with per-CPU lists of tasks
currently exiting. A given task will be on one of these per-CPU lists for
the same period of time that this task would previously have been in the
previous SRCU read-side critical section. These lists enable RCU Tasks
to find the tasks that have already been removed from the tasks list,
but that must nevertheless be waited upon.
The RCU Tasks grace period gathers any of these do_exit() tasks that it
must wait on, and adds them to the list of holdouts. Per-CPU locking
and get_task_struct() are used to synchronize addition to and removal
from these lists.

This commit continues the elimination of deadlocks involving do_exit()
and RCU tasks by causing exit_tasks_rcu_start() to add the current
task to a per-CPU list and causing exit_tasks_rcu_stop() to remove the
current task from whatever list it is on. These lists will be used to
track tasks that are exiting, while still accounting for any RCU-tasks
quiescent states that these tasks pass though.
