Pull printk updates from Petr Mladek: - Offload writing printk() messages on consoles to per-console kthreads. It prevents soft-lockups when an extensive amount of messages is printed. It was observed, for example, during boot of large systems with a lot of peripherals like disks or network interfaces. It prevents live-lockups that were observed, for example, when messages about allocation failures were reported and a CPU handled consoles instead of reclaiming the memory. It was hard to solve even with rate limiting because it would need to take into account the amount of messages and the speed of all consoles. It is a must to have for real time. Otherwise, any printk() might break latency guarantees. The per-console kthreads allow to handle each console on its own speed. Slow consoles do not longer slow down faster ones. And printk() does not longer unpredictably slows down various code paths. There are situations when the kthreads are either not available or not reliable, for example, early boot, suspend, or panic. In these situations, printk() uses the legacy mode and tries to handle consoles immediately. - Add documentation for the printk index. * tag 'printk-for-5.19' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/printk/linux: printk, tracing: fix console tracepoint printk: remove @console_locked printk: extend console_lock for per-console locking printk: add kthread console printers printk: add functions to prefer direct printing printk: add pr_flush() printk: move buffer definitions into console_emit_next_record() caller printk: refactor and rework printing logic printk: add con_printk() macro for console details printk: call boot_delay_msec() in printk_delay() printk: get caller_id/timestamp after migration disable printk: wake waiters for safe and NMI contexts printk: wake up all waiters printk: add missing memory barrier to wake_up_klogd() printk: cpu sync always disable interrupts printk: rename cpulock functions printk/index: Printk index feature documentation MAINTAINERS: Add printk indexing maintainers on mention of printk_index

2022-04-14timekeeping: Introduce fast accessor to clock taiKurt Kanzenbach1-0/+1
Introduce fast/NMI safe accessor to clock tai for tracing. The Linux kernel tracing infrastructure has support for using different clocks to generate timestamps for trace events. Especially in TSN networks it's useful to have TAI as trace clock, because the application scheduling is done in accordance to the network time, which is based on TAI. With a tai trace_clock in place, it becomes very convenient to correlate network activity with Linux kernel application traces. Use the same implementation as ktime_get_boot_fast_ns() does by reading the monotonic time and adding the TAI offset. The same limitations as for the fast boot implementation apply. The TAI offset may change at run time e.g., by setting the time or using adjtimex() with an offset. However, these kind of offset changes are rare events. Nevertheless, the user has to be aware and deal with it in post processing. An alternative approach would be to use the same implementation as ktime_get_real_fast_ns() does. However, this requires to add an additional u64 member to the tk_read_base struct. This struct together with a seqcount is designed to fit into a single cache line on 64 bit architectures. Adding a new member would violate this constraint.

2022-03-28Reinstate some of "swiotlb: rework "fix info leak with DMA_FROM_DEVICE""Linus Torvalds1-8/+0
Halil Pasic points out [1] that the full revert of that commit (revert in bddac7c1e02b), and that a partial revert that only reverts the problematic case, but still keeps some of the cleanups is probably better.  And that partial revert [2] had already been verified by Oleksandr Natalenko to also fix the issue, I had just missed that in the long discussion. So let's reinstate the cleanups from commit aa6f8dcbab47 ("swiotlb: rework "fix info leak with DMA_FROM_DEVICE""), and effectively only revert the part that caused problems.

2022-03-26Revert "swiotlb: rework "fix info leak with DMA_FROM_DEVICE""Linus Torvalds1-0/+8
This reverts commit aa6f8dcbab473f3a3c7454b74caa46d36cdc5d13. It turns out this breaks at least the ath9k wireless driver, and possibly others. What the ath9k driver does on packet receive is to set up the DMA transfer with: int ath_rx_init(..) .. bf->bf_buf_addr = dma_map_single(sc->dev, skb->data, common->rx_bufsize, DMA_FROM_DEVICE); and then the receive logic (through ath_rx_tasklet()) will fetch incoming packets static bool ath_edma_get_buffers(..) .. dma_sync_single_for_cpu(sc->dev, bf->bf_buf_addr, common->rx_bufsize, DMA_FROM_DEVICE); ret = ath9k_hw_process_rxdesc_edma(ah, rs, skb->data); if (ret == -EINPROGRESS) { /*let device gain the buffer again*/ dma_sync_single_for_device(sc->dev, bf->bf_buf_addr, common->rx_bufsize, DMA_FROM_DEVICE); return false; } and it's worth noting how that first DMA sync: dma_sync_single_for_cpu(..DMA_FROM_DEVICE); is there to make sure the CPU can read the DMA buffer (possibly by copying it from the bounce buffer area, or by doing some cache flush). The iommu correctly turns that into a "copy from bounce bufer" so that the driver can look at the state of the packets. In the meantime, the device may continue to write to the DMA buffer, but we at least have a snapshot of the state due to that first DMA sync. But that _second_ DMA sync: dma_sync_single_for_device(..DMA_FROM_DEVICE); is telling the DMA mapping that the CPU wasn't interested in the area because the packet wasn't there. In the case of a DMA bounce buffer, that is a no-op. Note how it's not a sync for the CPU (the "for_device()" part), and it's not a sync for data written by the CPU (the "DMA_FROM_DEVICE" part). Or rather, it _should_ be a no-op. That's what commit aa6f8dcbab47 broke: it made the code bounce the buffer unconditionally, and changed the DMA_FROM_DEVICE to just unconditionally and illogically be DMA_TO_DEVICE. [ Side note: purely within the confines of the swiotlb driver it wasn't entirely illogical: The reason it did that odd DMA_FROM_DEVICE -> DMA_TO_DEVICE conversion thing is because inside the swiotlb driver, it uses just a swiotlb_bounce() helper that doesn't care about the whole distinction of who the sync is for - only which direction to bounce. So it took the "sync for device" to mean that the CPU must have been the one writing, and thought it meant DMA_TO_DEVICE. ] Also note how the commentary in that commit was wrong, probably due to that whole confusion, claiming that the commit makes the swiotlb code "bounce unconditionally (that is, also when dir == DMA_TO_DEVICE) in order do avoid synchronising back stale data from the swiotlb buffer" which is nonsensical for two reasons: - that "also when dir == DMA_TO_DEVICE" is nonsensical, as that was exactly when it always did - and should do - the bounce. - since this is a sync for the device (not for the CPU), we're clearly fundamentally not coping back stale data from the bounce buffers at all, because we'd be copying *to* the bounce buffers. So that commit was just very confused. It confused the direction of the synchronization (to the device, not the cpu) with the direction of the DMA (from the device).

2022-03-22mm: document and polish read-ahead codeNeilBrown1-2/+17
Add some "big-picture" documentation for read-ahead and polish the code to make it fit this documentation. The meaning of ->async_size is clarified to match its name. i.e. Any request to ->readahead() has a sync part and an async part. The caller will wait for the sync pages to complete, but will not wait for the async pages. The first async page is still marked PG_readahead Note that the current function names page_cache_sync_ra() and page_cache_async_ra() are misleading. All ra request are partly sync and partly async, so either part can be empty. A page_cache_sync_ra() request will usually set ->async_size non-zero, implying it is not all synchronous. When a non-zero req_count is passed to page_cache_async_ra(), the implication is that some prefix of the request is synchronous, though the calculation made there is incorrect - I haven't tried to fix it.

Move compound_pincount from the third page to the second page, which means it's available for all compound pages. That lets us delete hpage_pincount_available(). On 32-bit systems, there isn't enough space for both compound_pincount and compound_nr in the second page (it would collide with page->private, which is in use for pages in the swap cache), so revert the optimisation of storing both compound_order and compound_nr on 32-bit systems.

2022-03-07swiotlb: rework "fix info leak with DMA_FROM_DEVICE"Halil Pasic1-8/+0
Unfortunately, we ended up merging an old version of the patch "fix info leak with DMA_FROM_DEVICE" instead of merging the latest one. Christoph (the swiotlb maintainer), he asked me to create an incremental fix (after I have pointed this out the mix up, and asked him for guidance). So here we go. The main differences between what we got and what was agreed are: * swiotlb_sync_single_for_device is also required to do an extra bounce * We decided not to introduce DMA_ATTR_OVERWRITE until we have exploiters * The implantation of DMA_ATTR_OVERWRITE is flawed: DMA_ATTR_OVERWRITE must take precedence over DMA_ATTR_SKIP_CPU_SYNC Thus this patch removes DMA_ATTR_OVERWRITE, and makes swiotlb_sync_single_for_device() bounce unconditionally (that is, also when dir == DMA_TO_DEVICE) in order do avoid synchronising back stale data from the swiotlb buffer. Let me note, that if the size used with dma_sync_* API is less than the size used with dma_[un]map_*, under certain circumstances we may still end up with swiotlb not being transparent. In that sense, this is no perfect fix either. To get this bullet proof, we would have to bounce the entire mapping/bounce buffer. For that we would have to figure out the starting address, and the size of the mapping in swiotlb_sync_single_for_device(). While this does seem possible, there seems to be no firm consensus on how things are supposed to work.

2022-02-14swiotlb: fix info leak with DMA_FROM_DEVICEHalil Pasic1-0/+8
The problem I'm addressing was discovered by the LTP test covering cve-2018-1000204. A short description of what happens follows: 1) The test case issues a command code 00 (TEST UNIT READY) via the SG_IO interface with: dxfer_len == 524288, dxdfer_dir == SG_DXFER_FROM_DEV and a corresponding dxferp. The peculiar thing about this is that TUR is not reading from the device. 2) In sg_start_req() the invocation of blk_rq_map_user() effectively bounces the user-space buffer. As if the device was to transfer into it. Since commit a45b599ad808 ("scsi: sg: allocate with __GFP_ZERO in sg_build_indirect()") we make sure this first bounce buffer is allocated with GFP_ZERO. 3) For the rest of the story we keep ignoring that we have a TUR, so the device won't touch the buffer we prepare as if the we had a DMA_FROM_DEVICE type of situation. My setup uses a virtio-scsi device and the buffer allocated by SG is mapped by the function virtqueue_add_split() which uses DMA_FROM_DEVICE for the "in" sgs (here scatter-gather and not scsi generics). This mapping involves bouncing via the swiotlb (we need swiotlb to do virtio in protected guest like s390 Secure Execution, or AMD SEV). 4) When the SCSI TUR is done, we first copy back the content of the second (that is swiotlb) bounce buffer (which most likely contains some previous IO data), to the first bounce buffer, which contains all zeros. Then we copy back the content of the first bounce buffer to the user-space buffer. 5) The test case detects that the buffer, which it zero-initialized, ain't all zeros and fails. One can argue that this is an swiotlb problem, because without swiotlb we leak all zeros, and the swiotlb should be transparent in a sense that it does not affect the outcome (if all other participants are well behaved). Copying the content of the original buffer into the swiotlb buffer is the only way I can think of to make swiotlb transparent in such scenarios. So let's do just that if in doubt, but allow the driver to tell us that the whole mapped buffer is going to be overwritten, in which case we can preserve the old behavior and avoid the performance impact of the extra bounce.

2021-10-26irq: remove handle_domain_{irq,nmi}()Mark Rutland1-3/+0
Now that entry code handles IRQ entry (including setting the IRQ regs) before calling irqchip code, irqchip code can safely call generic_handle_domain_irq(), and there's no functional reason for it to call handle_domain_irq(). Let's cement this split of responsibility and remove handle_domain_irq() entirely, updating irqchip drivers to call generic_handle_domain_irq(). For consistency, handle_domain_nmi() is similarly removed and replaced with a generic_handle_domain_nmi() function which also does not perform any entry logic. Previously handle_domain_{irq,nmi}() had a WARN_ON() which would fire when they were called in an inappropriate context. So that we can identify similar issues going forward, similar WARN_ON_ONCE() logic is added to the generic_handle_*() functions, and comments are updated for clarity and consistency.

2021-10-25workqueue: doc: Call out the non-reentrance conditionsBoqun Feng1-4/+17
The current doc of workqueue API suggests that work items are non-reentrant: any work item is guaranteed to be executed by at most one worker system-wide at any given time. However this is not true, the following case can cause a work item W executed by two workers at the same time: queue_work_on(0, WQ1, W); // after a worker picks up W and clear the pending bit queue_work_on(1, WQ2, W); // workers on CPU0 and CPU1 will execute W in the same time. , which means the non-reentrance of a work item is conditional, and Lai Jiangshan provided a nice summary[1] of the conditions, therefore use it to describe a work item instance and improve the doc.

2021-09-27mm/util: Add folio_mapping() and folio_file_mapping()Matthew Wilcox (Oracle)1-0/+2
These are the folio equivalent of page_mapping() and page_file_mapping(). Add an out-of-line page_mapping() wrapper around folio_mapping() in order to prevent the page_folio() call from bloating every caller of page_mapping(). Adjust page_file_mapping() and page_mapping_file() to use folios internally. Rename __page_file_mapping() to swapcache_mapping() and change it to take a folio. This ends up saving 122 bytes of text overall. folio_mapping() is 45 bytes shorter than page_mapping() was, but the new page_mapping() wrapper is 30 bytes. The major reduction is a few bytes less in dozens of nfs functions (which call page_file_mapping()). Most of these appear to be a slight change in gcc's register allocation decisions, which allow: 48 8b 56 08 mov 0x8(%rsi),%rdx 48 8d 42 ff lea -0x1(%rdx),%rax 83 e2 01 and $0x1,%edx 48 0f 44 c6 cmove %rsi,%rax to become: 48 8b 46 08 mov 0x8(%rsi),%rax 48 8d 78 ff lea -0x1(%rax),%rdi a8 01 test $0x1,%al 48 0f 44 fe cmove %rsi,%rdi for a reduction of a single byte. Once the NFS client is converted to use folios, this entire sequence will disappear. Also add folio_mapping() documentation.

Pull printk updates from Petr Mladek: - Optionally, provide an index of possible printk messages via <debugfs>/printk/index/. It can be used when monitoring important kernel messages on a farm of various hosts. The monitor has to be updated when some messages has changed or are not longer available by a newly deployed kernel. - Add printk.console_no_auto_verbose boot parameter. It allows to generate crash dump even with slow consoles in a reasonable time frame. - Remove printk_safe buffers. The messages are always stored directly to the main logbuffer, even in NMI or recursive context. Also it allows to serialize syslog operations by a mutex instead of a spin lock. - Misc clean up and build fixes. * tag 'printk-for-5.15' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/printk/linux: printk/index: Fix -Wunused-function warning lib/nmi_backtrace: Serialize even messages about idle CPUs printk: Add printk.console_no_auto_verbose boot parameter printk: Remove console_silent() lib/test_scanf: Handle n_bits == 0 in random tests printk: syslog: close window between wait and read printk: convert @syslog_lock to mutex printk: remove NMI tracking printk: remove safe buffers printk: track/limit recursion lib/nmi_backtrace: explicitly serialize banner and regs printk: Move the printk() kerneldoc comment to its new home printk/index: Fix warning about missing prototypes MIPS/asm/printk: Fix build failure caused by printk printk: index: Add indexing support to dev_printk printk: Userspace format indexing support printk: Rework parse_prefix into printk_parse_prefix printk: Straighten out log_flags into printk_info_flags string_helpers: Escape double quotes in escape_special printk/console: Check consistent sequence number when handling race in console_unlock()

2021-08-28Documentation: Replace deprecated CPU-hotplug functions.Sebastian Andrzej Siewior1-1/+1
The functions get_online_cpus() and put_online_cpus() have been deprecated during the CPU hotplug rework. They map directly to cpus_read_lock() and cpus_read_unlock(). Update the documentation accordingly.
