sysctl: treewide: constify the ctl_table argument of proc_handlers

2024-07-24T18:59:29Z

const qualify the struct ctl_table argument in the proc_handler function signatures. This is a prerequisite to moving the static ctl_table structs into .rodata data which will ensure that proc_handler function pointers cannot be modified. This patch has been generated by the following coccinelle script: ``` virtual patch @r1@ identifier ctl, write, buffer, lenp, ppos; identifier func !~ "appldata_(timer|interval)_handler|sched_(rt|rr)_handler|rds_tcp_skbuf_handler|proc_sctp_do_(hmac_alg|rto_min|rto_max|udp_port|alpha_beta|auth|probe_interval)"; @@ int func( - struct ctl_table *ctl + const struct ctl_table *ctl ,int write, void *buffer, size_t *lenp, loff_t *ppos); @r2@ identifier func, ctl, write, buffer, lenp, ppos; @@ int func( - struct ctl_table *ctl + const struct ctl_table *ctl ,int write, void *buffer, size_t *lenp, loff_t *ppos) { ... } @r3@ identifier func; @@ int func( - struct ctl_table * + const struct ctl_table * ,int , void *, size_t *, loff_t *); @r4@ identifier func, ctl; @@ int func( - struct ctl_table *ctl + const struct ctl_table *ctl ,int , void *, size_t *, loff_t *); @r5@ identifier func, write, buffer, lenp, ppos; @@ int func( - struct ctl_table * + const struct ctl_table * ,int write, void *buffer, size_t *lenp, loff_t *ppos); ``` * Code formatting was adjusted in xfs_sysctl.c to comply with code conventions. The xfs_stats_clear_proc_handler, xfs_panic_mask_proc_handler and xfs_deprecated_dointvec_minmax where adjusted. * The ctl_table argument in proc_watchdog_common was const qualified. This is called from a proc_handler itself and is calling back into another proc_handler, making it necessary to change it as part of the proc_handler migration.

Pull sysctl updates from Joel Granados: - Remove sentinel elements from ctl_table structs in kernel/* Removing sentinels in ctl_table arrays reduces the build time size and runtime memory consumed by ~64 bytes per array. Removals for net/, io_uring/, mm/, ipc/ and security/ are set to go into mainline through their respective subsystems making the next release the most likely place where the final series that removes the check for proc_name == NULL will land. This adds to removals already in arch/, drivers/ and fs/. - Adjust ctl_table definitions and references to allow constification - Remove unused ctl_table function arguments - Move non-const elements from ctl_table to ctl_table_header - Make ctl_table pointers const in ctl_table_root structure Making the static ctl_table structs const will increase safety by keeping the pointers to proc_handler functions in .rodata. Though no ctl_tables where made const in this PR, the ground work for making that possible has started with these changes sent by Thomas Weißschuh. * tag 'sysctl-6.10-rc1' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/sysctl/sysctl: sysctl: drop now unnecessary out-of-bounds check sysctl: move sysctl type to ctl_table_header sysctl: drop sysctl_is_perm_empty_ctl_table sysctl: treewide: constify argument ctl_table_root::permissions(table) sysctl: treewide: drop unused argument ctl_table_root::set_ownership(table) bpf: Remove the now superfluous sentinel elements from ctl_table array delayacct: Remove the now superfluous sentinel elements from ctl_table array kprobes: Remove the now superfluous sentinel elements from ctl_table array printk: Remove the now superfluous sentinel elements from ctl_table array scheduler: Remove the now superfluous sentinel elements from ctl_table array seccomp: Remove the now superfluous sentinel elements from ctl_table array timekeeping: Remove the now superfluous sentinel elements from ctl_table array ftrace: Remove the now superfluous sentinel elements from ctl_table array umh: Remove the now superfluous sentinel elements from ctl_table array kernel misc: Remove the now superfluous sentinel elements from ctl_table array

timekeeping: Remove the now superfluous sentinel elements from ctl_table array

This commit comes at the tail end of a greater effort to remove the empty elements at the end of the ctl_table arrays (sentinels) which will reduce the overall build time size of the kernel and run time memory bloat by ~64 bytes per sentinel (further information Link : https://lore.kernel.org/all/ZO5Yx5JFogGi%2FcBo@bombadil.infradead.org/) Remove sentinel element from time_sysctl Signed-off-by: Joel Granados

timers: Fix removed self-IPI on global timer's enqueue in nohz_full

2024-03-19T09:14:55Z

While running in nohz_full mode, a task may enqueue a timer while the tick is stopped. However the only places where the timer wheel, alongside the timer migration machinery's decision, may reprogram the next event accordingly with that new timer's expiry are the idle loop or any IRQ tail. However neither the idle task nor an interrupt may run on the CPU if it resumes busy work in userspace for a long while in full dynticks mode. To solve this, the timer enqueue path raises a self-IPI that will re-evaluate the timer wheel on its IRQ tail. This asynchronous solution avoids potential locking inversion. This is supposed to happen both for local and global timers but commit: b2cf7507e186 ("timers: Always queue timers on the local CPU") broke the global timers case with removing the ->is_idle field handling for the global base. As a result, global timers enqueue may go unnoticed in nohz_full. Fix this with restoring the idle tracking of the global timer's base, allowing self-IPIs again on enqueue time.

sched/balancing: Rename scheduler_tick() => sched_tick()

2024-03-12T10:59:59Z

- Standardize on prefixing scheduler-internal functions defined in with sched_*() prefix. scheduler_tick() was the only function using the scheduler_ prefix. Harmonize it. - The other reason to rename it is the NOHZ scheduler tick handling functions are already named sched_tick_*(). Make the 'git grep sched_tick' more meaningful.

timers: Assert no next dyntick timer look-up while CPU is offline

2024-02-26T10:37:32Z

The next timer (re-)evaluation, with the purpose of entering/updating the dyntick mode, can happen from 3 sites and none of them are relevant while the CPU is offline: 1) The idle loop: a) From the quick check helping the cpuidle governor to heuristically predict the best C-state. b) While stopping the tick. 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.

timers: Always queue timers on the local CPU

2024-02-22T16:52:32Z

The timer pull model is in place so we can remove the heuristics which try to guess the best target CPU at enqueue/modification time. All non pinned timers are queued on the local CPU in the separate storage and eventually pulled at expiry time to a remote CPU.
