Pull scheduler updates from Ingo Molnar:
"Core scheduler updates:
- Add CONFIG_PREEMPT_DYNAMIC: this in its current form adds the
preempt=none/voluntary/full boot options (default: full), to allow
distros to build a PREEMPT kernel but fall back to close to
PREEMPT_VOLUNTARY (or PREEMPT_NONE) runtime scheduling behavior via
a boot time selection.
There's also the /debug/sched_debug switch to do this runtime.
This feature is implemented via runtime patching (a new variant of
static calls).
The scope of the runtime patching can be best reviewed by looking
at the sched_dynamic_update() function in kernel/sched/core.c.
( Note that the dynamic none/voluntary mode isn't 100% identical,
for example preempt-RCU is available in all cases, plus the
preempt count is maintained in all models, which has runtime
overhead even with the code patching. )
The PREEMPT_VOLUNTARY/PREEMPT_NONE models, used by the vast
majority of distributions, are supposed to be unaffected.
- Fix ignored rescheduling after rcu_eqs_enter(). This is a bug that
was found via rcutorture triggering a hang. The bug is that
rcu_idle_enter() may wake up a NOCB kthread, but this happens after
the last generic need_resched() check. Some cpuidle drivers fix it
by chance but many others don't.
In true 2020 fashion the original bug fix has grown into a 5-patch
scheduler/RCU fix series plus another 16 RCU patches to address the
underlying issue of missed preemption events. These are the initial
fixes that should fix current incarnations of the bug.
- Clean up rbtree usage in the scheduler, by providing & using the
following consistent set of rbtree APIs:
partial-order; less() based:
- rb_add(): add a new entry to the rbtree
- rb_add_cached(): like rb_add(), but for a rb_root_cached
total-order; cmp() based:
- rb_find(): find an entry in an rbtree
- rb_find_add(): find an entry, and add if not found
- rb_find_first(): find the first (leftmost) matching entry
- rb_next_match(): continue from rb_find_first()
- rb_for_each(): iterate a sub-tree using the previous two
- Improve the SMP/NUMA load-balancer: scan for an idle sibling in a
single pass. This is a 4-commit series where each commit improves
one aspect of the idle sibling scan logic.
- Improve the cpufreq cooling driver by getting the effective CPU
utilization metrics from the scheduler
- Improve the fair scheduler's active load-balancing logic by
reducing the number of active LB attempts & lengthen the
load-balancing interval. This improves stress-ng mmapfork
performance.
- Fix CFS's estimated utilization (util_est) calculation bug that can
result in too high utilization values
Misc updates & fixes:
- Fix the HRTICK reprogramming & optimization feature
- Fix SCHED_SOFTIRQ raising race & warning in the CPU offlining code
- Reduce dl_add_task_root_domain() overhead
- Fix uprobes refcount bug
- Process pending softirqs in flush_smp_call_function_from_idle()

Pull xfs updates from Darrick Wong:
"There's a lot going on this time, which seems about right for this
drama-filled year.
Community developers added some code to speed up freezing when
read-only workloads are still running, refactored the logging code,
added checks to prevent file extent counter overflow, reduced iolock
cycling to speed up fsync and gc scans, and started the slow march
towards supporting filesystem shrinking.
There's a huge refactoring of the internal speculative preallocation
garbage collection code which fixes a bunch of bugs, makes the gc
scheduling per-AG and hence multithreaded, and standardizes the retry
logic when we try to reserve space or quota, can't, and want to
trigger a gc scan. We also enable multithreaded quotacheck to reduce
mount times further. This is also preparation for background file gc,
which may or may not land for 5.13.
We also fixed some deadlocks in the rename code, fixed a quota
accounting leak when FSSETXATTR fails, restored the behavior that
write faults to an mmap'd region actually cause a SIGBUS, fixed a bug
where sgid directory inheritance wasn't quite working properly, and
fixed a bug where symlinks weren't working properly in ecryptfs. We
also now advertise the inode btree counters feature that was
introduced two cycles ago.
Summary:
- Fix an ABBA deadlock when renaming files on overlayfs.
- Make sure that we can't overflow the inode extent counters when
adding to or removing extents from a file.
- Make directory sgid inheritance work the same way as all the other
filesystems.
- Don't drain the buffer cache on freeze and ro remount, which should
reduce the amount of time if read-only workloads are continuing
during the freeze.
- Fix a bug where symlink size isn't reported to the vfs in ecryptfs.
- Disentangle log cleaning from log covering. This refactoring sets
us up for future changes to the log, though for now it simply means
that we can use covering for freezes, and cleaning becomes
something we only do at unmount.
- Speed up file fsyncs by reducing iolock cycling.
- Fix delalloc blocks leaking when changing the project id fails
because of input validation errors in FSSETXATTR.
- Fix oversized quota reservation when converting unwritten extents
during a DAX write.
- Create a transaction allocation helper function to standardize the
idiom of allocating a transaction, reserving blocks, locking
inodes, and reserving quota. Replace all the open-coded logic for
file creation, file ownership changes, and file modifications to
use them.
- Actually shut down the fs if the incore quota reservations get
corrupted.
- Fix background block garbage collection scans to not block and to
actually clean out CoW staging extents properly.
- Run block gc scans when we run low on project quota.
- Use the standardized transaction allocation helpers to make it so
that ENOSPC and EDQUOT errors during reservation will back out,
invoke the block gc scanner, and try again. This is preparation for
introducing background inode garbage collection in the next cycle.
- Combine speculative post-EOF block garbage collection with
speculative copy on write block garbage collection.
- Enable multithreaded quotacheck.
- Allow sysadmins to tweak the CPU affinities and maximum concurrency
levels of quotacheck and background blockgc worker pools.
- Expose the inode btree counter feature in the fs geometry ioctl.
- Cleanups of the growfs code in preparation for starting work on
filesystem shrinking.
- Fix all the bloody gcc warnings that the maintainer knows about. :P
- Fix a RST syntax error.
- Don't trigger bmbt corruption assertions after the fs shuts down.
- Restore behavior of forcing SIGBUS on a shut down filesystem when
someone triggers a mmap write fault (or really, any buffered
write)"

Preemption mode selection is currently hardcoded on Kconfig choices.
Introduce a dedicated option to tune preemption flavour at boot time,
This will be only available on architectures efficiently supporting
static calls in order not to tempt with the feature against additional
overhead that might be prohibitive or undesirable.
CONFIG_PREEMPT_DYNAMIC is automatically selected by CONFIG_PREEMPT if
the architecture provides the necessary support (CONFIG_STATIC_CALL_INLINE,
CONFIG_GENERIC_ENTRY, and provide with __preempt_schedule_function() /
__preempt_schedule_notrace_function()).

If the no_hash_pointers command line parameter is set, then
printk("%p") will print pointers as unhashed, which is useful for
debugging purposes. This change applies to any function that uses
vsprintf, such as print_hex_dump() and seq_buf_printf().
A large warning message is displayed if this option is enabled.
Unhashed pointers expose kernel addresses, which can be a security
risk.
Also update test_printf to skip the hashed pointer tests if the
command-line option is set.

Intel Moorestown and Medfield are quite old Intel Atom based
32-bit platforms, which were in limited use in some Android phones,
tablets and consumer electronics more than eight years ago.
There are no bugs or problems ever reported outside from Intel
for breaking any of that platforms for years. It seems no real
users exists who run more or less fresh kernel on it. Commit
05f4434bc130 ("ASoC: Intel: remove mfld_machine") is also in align

Due to above and to reduce a burden of supporting outdated drivers,
remove the support for outdated platforms completely.

Admitedly, passing id_aa64mmfr1.vh=0 on the command-line isn't

prefer write "kvm-arm.mode=nvhe", or "...=protected".

Pull syscall entry fixes from Borislav Petkov:
- For syscall user dispatch, separate prctl operation from syscall
redirection range specification before the API has been made official
in 5.11.
- Ensure tasks using the generic syscall code do trap after returning
from a syscall when single-stepping is requested.
* tag 'core_urgent_for_v5.11_rc7' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/tip/tip:
entry: Use different define for selector variable in SUD
entry: Ensure trap after single-step on system call return
|
|
Michael Kerrisk suggested that, from an API perspective, it is a bad
idea to share the PR_SYS_DISPATCH_ defines between the prctl operation
and the selector variable.
Therefore, define two new constants to be used by SUD's selector variable
and update the corresponding documentation and test cases.
While this changes the API syscall user dispatch has never been part of a
Linux release, it will show up for the first time in 5.11.

Recent Intel Thunderbolt firmware connection manager has support for
another security level, SL5, that disables PCIe tunneling. This option
can be turned on from the BIOS.
When this is set the driver exposes a new security level "nopcie" to the
userspace and hides the authorized attribute under connected devices.
While there we also hide it when "dponly" security level is enabled
since it is not really usable in that case anyway.

Increase the parallelism level for pwork clients to the workqueue
defaults so that we can take advantage of computers with a lot of CPUs
and a lot of hardware. On fast systems this will speed up quotacheck by
a large factor, and the following posteof/cowblocks cleanup series will
use the functionality presented in this patch to run garbage collection
as quickly as possible.
We do this by switching the pwork workqueue to unbounded, since the
current user (quotacheck) runs lengthy scans for each work item and we
don't care about dispatching the work on a warm cpu cache or anything
like that. Also set WQ_SYSFS so that we can monitor where the wq is
running.

The "fix_hmac" argument improves security of internal_hash and

- the section number is mixed to the mac, so that an attacker can't
copy sectors from one journal section to another journal section
- the superblock is protected by journal_mac
- a 16-byte salt stored in the superblock is mixed to the mac, so
that the attacker can't detect that two disks have the same hmac
key and also to disallow the attacker to move sectors from one

Although it's neat to avoid the suffix for the typical case of a
single PMU, it means systems with multiple CMN instances end up with
inconsistent naming. I think it also breaks perf tool's "uncore alias"
logic if the common instance prefix is also the full name of one.
Avoid any surprises by not trying to be clever and simply numbering
every instance, even when it might technically prove redundant.

The IP block evolved from its rk3288/rk3399 base and the vendor
designates them with a numerical version. rk3399 for example
is designated V10 probably meaning V1.0.
There doesn't seem to be an actual version register we could read that
information from, so allow the match_data to carry that information
for future differentiation.
Also carry that information in the hw_revision field of the media-
controller API, so that userspace also has access to that.
The added versions are:
- V10: at least rk3288 + rk3399
- V11: seemingly unused as of now, but probably appeared in some soc
- V12: at least rk3326 + px30
- V13: at least rk1808

Perfmon-v4 counter freezing is fundamentally broken; remove this default
disabled code to make sure nobody uses it.
The feature is called Freeze-on-PMI in the SDM, and if it would do that,
there wouldn't actually be a problem, *however* it does something subtly
different. It globally disables the whole PMU when it raises the PMI,
not when the PMI hits.
This means there's a window between the PMI getting raised and the PMI
actually getting served where we loose events and this violates the
perf counter independence. That is, a counting event should not result
in a different event count when there is a sampling event co-scheduled.
This is known to break existing software (RR).

These two places are rendered like a table in the source (rst) code,
but they are seen as plain text by formatters, and thus are joined
together into a single line, e.g.:
> “root” - a partition root “member” - a non-root member of a partition
This is definitely not what was intended.
To fix, use table formatting, like in other places.
