module_assert_mutex_or_preempt() is not needed in find_symbol(). The
function checks for RCU-sched or the module_mutex to be acquired. The
list_for_each_entry_rcu() below does the same check.
Remove module_assert_mutex_or_preempt() from try_add_tainted_module().
Use RCU protection to invoke find_symbol() and update callers.

Remove module_assert_mutex_or_preempt() from find_module_all() so it can
be used under RCU protection without warnings. Update its callers to use
RCU protection instead of preempt_disable().

add_kallsyms() assigns the RCU pointer module::kallsyms and setups the
structures behind it which point to init-data. The module was not
published yet, nothing can see the kallsyms pointer and the data behind
it. Also module's init function was not yet invoked.
There is no need to use rcu_dereference() here, it is just to keep
checkers quiet. The whole RCU read section is also not needed.
Use a local kallsyms pointer and setup the data structures. Assign that
pointer to the data structure at the end via rcu_assign_pointer().

The RCU usage in module was introduced in commit d72b37513cdfb ("Remove
stop_machine during module load v2") and it claimed not to be RCU but
similar. Then there was another improvement in commit e91defa26c527
("module: don't use stop_machine on module load"). It become a mix of
RCU and RCU-sched and was eventually fixed 0be964be0d450 ("module:
Sanitize RCU usage and locking"). Later RCU & RCU-sched was merged in
commit cb2f55369d3a9 ("modules: Replace synchronize_sched() and
call_rcu_sched()") so that was aligned.
Looking at it today, there is still leftovers. The preempt_disable() was
used instead rcu_read_lock_sched(). The RCU & RCU-sched merge was not
complete as there is still rcu_dereference_sched() for module::kallsyms.
The RCU-list modules and unloaded_tainted_modules are always accessed
under RCU protection or the module_mutex. The modules list iteration can
always happen safely because the module will not disappear.
Once the module is removed (free_module()) then after removing the
module from the list, there is a synchronize_rcu() which waits until
every RCU reader left the section. That means iterating over the list
within a RCU-read section is enough, there is no need to disable
preemption. module::kallsyms is first assigned in add_kallsyms() before
the module is added to the list. At this point, it points to init data.
This pointer is later updated and before the init code is removed there
is also synchronize_rcu() in do_free_init(). That means A RCU read lock
is enough for protection and rcu_dereference() can be safely used.
Convert module code and its users step by step. Update comments and
convert print_modules() to use RCU.

Move the more esoteric helpers for netdev instance lock to
a dedicated header. This avoids growing netdevice.h to infinity
and makes rebuilding the kernel much faster (after touching
the header with the helpers).
The main netdev_lock() / netdev_unlock() functions are used
in static inlines in netdevice.h and will probably be used
most commonly, so keep them in netdevice.h.

To support multiple PTP clocks, the VDSO data structure needs to be
reworked. All clock specific data will end up in struct vdso_clock and in
struct vdso_time_data there will be an array of VDSO clocks.
Now that all preparatory changes are in place:
Split the clock related struct members into a separate struct
vdso_clock. Make sure all users are aware, that vdso_time_data is no longer
initialized as an array and vdso_clock is now the array inside
vdso_data. Remove the vdso_clock define, which mapped it to vdso_time_data
for the transition.

Since we're going to approach integer overflow mitigation a type at a
time, we need to enable all of the associated sanitizers, and then opt
into types one at a time.
Rename the existing "signed wrap" sanitizer to just the entire topic area:
"integer wrap". Enable the implicit integer truncation sanitizers, with
required callbacks and tests.
Notably, this requires features (currently) only available in Clang,
so we can depend on the cc-option tests to determine availability
instead of doing version tests.

KASAN instrumentation of lockdep has been disabled, as we don't need
KASAN to check the validity of lockdep internal data structures and
incur unnecessary performance overhead. However, the lockdep_map pointer
passed in externally may not be valid (e.g. use-after-free) and we run
the risk of using garbage data resulting in false lockdep reports.
Add kasan_check_byte() call in lock_acquire() for non kernel core data
object to catch invalid lockdep_map and print out a KASAN report before
any lockdep splat, if any.

Both KASAN and LOCKDEP are commonly enabled in building a debug kernel.
Each of them can significantly slow down the speed of a debug kernel.
Enabling KASAN instrumentation of the LOCKDEP code will further slow
things down.
Since LOCKDEP is a high overhead debugging tool, it will never get
enabled in a production kernel. The LOCKDEP code is also pretty mature
and is unlikely to get major changes. There is also a possibility of
recursion similar to KCSAN.
To evaluate the performance impact of disabling KASAN instrumentation
of lockdep.c, the time to do a parallel build of the Linux defconfig
kernel was used as the benchmark. Two x86-64 systems (Skylake & Zen 2)
and an arm64 system were used as test beds. Two sets of non-RT and RT
kernels with similar configurations except mainly CONFIG_PREEMPT_RT
were used for evaluation.
For the Skylake system:
Kernel Run time Sys time

RT debug kernel

For the Zen 2 system:

RT debug kernel
(patched + mitigations=off) 3m31.662s (x1.9) 51m01.391s (x3.4)
For the arm64 system:
Kernel Run time Sys time
------ -------- --------
Non-debug kernel (baseline) 1m56.844s 8m47.150s
Debug kernel 3m54.774s (x2.0) 92m30.098s (x10.5)

[CONFIG_KASAN_INLINE=n]
RT debug kernel 19m32.977s (x4.9) 304m23.965s (x16.7)
RT debug kernel (patched) 16m28.354s (x4.1) 234m18.149s (x12.8)
Turning the mitigations off doesn't seems to have any noticeable impact
on the performance of the arm64 system. So the mitigation=off entries
aren't included.
For the x86 CPUs, CPU mitigations has a much bigger
impact on performance, especially the RT debug kernel with
CONFIG_KASAN_INLINE=n. The SRSO mitigation in Zen 2 has an especially
big impact on the debug kernel. It is also the majority of the slowdown
with mitigations on. It is because the patched RET instruction slows
down function returns. A lot of helper functions that are normally
compiled out or inlined may become real function calls in the debug
kernel.
With !CONFIG_KASAN_INLINE, the KASAN instrumentation inserts a
lot of __asan_loadX*() and __kasan_check_read() function calls to memory
access portion of the code. The lockdep's __lock_acquire() function,
for instance, has 66 __asan_loadX*() and 6 __kasan_check_read() calls
added with KASAN instrumentation. Of course, the actual numbers may vary
depending on the compiler used and the exact version of the lockdep code.
With the Skylake test system, the parallel kernel build times reduction
of the RT debug kernel with this patch are:
CONFIG_KASAN_INLINE=n: -37%
CONFIG_KASAN_INLINE=y: -22%
The time reduction is less with CONFIG_KASAN_INLINE=y, but it is still
significant.
Setting CONFIG_KASAN_INLINE=y can result in a significant performance
improvement. The major drawback is a significant increase in the size
of kernel text. In the case of vmlinux, its text size increases from
45997948 to 67606807. That is a 47% size increase (about 21 Mbytes). The
size increase of other kernel modules should be similar.
With the newly added rtmutex and lockdep lock events, the relevant
event counts for the test runs with the Skylake system were:
Event type Debug kernel RT debug kernel
---------- ------------ ---------------
lockdep_acquire 1,968,663,277 5,425,313,953
rtlock_slowlock - 401,701,156
rtmutex_slowlock - 139,672
The __lock_acquire() calls in the RT debug kernel are x2.8 times of the
non-RT debug kernel with the same workload. Since the __lock_acquire()
function is a big hitter in term of performance slowdown, this makes
the RT debug kernel much slower than the non-RT one. The average lock
nesting depth is likely to be higher in the RT debug kernel too leading
to longer execution time in the __lock_acquire() function.
As the small advantage of enabling KASAN instrumentation to catch
potential memory access error in the lockdep debugging tool is probably
not worth the drawback of further slowing down a debug kernel, disable
KASAN instrumentation in the lockdep code to allow the debug kernels
to regain some performance back, especially for the RT debug kernels.

-> #0 ((console_sem).lock){-.-.}-{2:2}:
The console_sem -> pi_lock dependency is due to calling try_to_wake_up()
while holding the console_sem raw_spinlock. This dependency can be broken
by using wake_q to do the wakeup instead of calling try_to_wake_up()
under the console_sem lock. This will also make the semaphore's
raw_spinlock become a terminal lock without taking any further locks
underneath it.
The hrtimer_bases.lock is a raw_spinlock while zone->lock is a
spinlock. The hrtimer_bases.lock -> zone->lock dependency happens via
the debug_objects_fill_pool() helper function in the debugobjects code.

Normally a raw_spinlock to spinlock dependency is not legitimate
and will be warned if CONFIG_PROVE_RAW_LOCK_NESTING is enabled,
but debug_objects_fill_pool() is an exception as it explicitly
allows this dependency for non-PREEMPT_RT kernel without causing
PROVE_RAW_LOCK_NESTING lockdep splat. As a result, this dependency is
legitimate and not a bug.
Anyway, semaphore is the only locking primitive left that is still
using try_to_wake_up() to do wakeup inside critical section, all the
other locking primitives had been migrated to use wake_q to do wakeup
outside of the critical section. It is also possible that there are
other circular locking dependencies involving printk/console_sem or
other existing/new semaphores lurking somewhere which may show up in
the future. Let just do the migration now to wake_q to avoid headache
like this.

This is because the __rcu annotation for sparse is only applicable to
pointers that need rcu_dereference() or equivalent for protection, which
basically means pointers assigned with rcu_assign_pointer().
Make all of the above sparse warnings go away by cleaning up the usage
of __rcu and using rcu_dereference_protected() where applicable.

The rseq_cs field is documented as being set to 0 by user-space prior to
registration, however this is not currently enforced by the kernel. This
can result in a segfault on return to user-space if the value stored in
the rseq_cs field doesn't point to a valid struct rseq_cs.
The correct solution to this would be to fail the rseq registration when
the rseq_cs field is non-zero. However, some older versions of glibc
will reuse the rseq area of previous threads without clearing the
rseq_cs field and will also terminate the process if the rseq
registration fails in a secondary thread. This wasn't caught in testing
because in this case the leftover rseq_cs does point to a valid struct
rseq_cs.
What we can do is clear the rseq_cs field on registration when it's
non-zero which will prevent segfaults on registration and won't break
the glibc versions that reuse rseq areas on thread creation.

Notice that em_dev_register_perf_domain() and the functions called by it
do not update objects pointed to by its cb and cpus parameters, so the
const modifier can be added to them.
This allows the return value of cpumask_of() or a pointer to a
struct em_data_callback declared as const to be passed to
em_dev_register_perf_domain() directly without explicit type
casting which is rather handy.
No intentional functional impact.

...
Our stress test includes CPU online and offline cycles, and updating the
watchdog configuration.
After reading the code, I found that there may be a race between cleaning up
perf_event after updating watchdog and disabling event when the CPU goes offline:
CPU0 CPU1 CPU2
(update watchdog) (hotplug offline CPU1)
... _cpu_down(CPU1)
cpus_read_lock() // waiting for cpu lock
softlockup_start_all
smp_call_on_cpu(CPU1)
softlockup_start_fn
...
watchdog_hardlockup_enable(CPU1)
perf create E1
watchdog_ev[CPU1] = E1
cpus_read_unlock()
cpus_write_lock()
cpuhp_kick_ap_work(CPU1)
cpuhp_thread_fun
...
watchdog_hardlockup_disable(CPU1)
watchdog_ev[CPU1] = NULL
dead_event[CPU1] = E1
__lockup_detector_cleanup
for each dead_events_mask
release each dead_event
/*
* CPU1 has not been added to
* dead_events_mask, then E1
* will not be released
*/
CPU1 -> dead_events_mask
cpumask_clear(&dead_events_mask)
// dead_events_mask is cleared, E1 is leaked
In this case, the leaked perf_event E1 matches the perf_event leak
reported by kmemleak. Due to the low probability of problem recurrence
(only reported once), I added some hack delays in the code:
static void __lockup_detector_reconfigure(void)
{
...
watchdog_hardlockup_start();
cpus_read_unlock();
+ mdelay(100);
/*
* Must be called outside the cpus locked section to prevent
* recursive locking in the perf code.
...
}
void watchdog_hardlockup_disable(unsigned int cpu)
{
...
perf_event_disable(event);
this_cpu_write(watchdog_ev, NULL);
this_cpu_write(dead_event, event);
+ mdelay(100);
cpumask_set_cpu(smp_processor_id(), &dead_events_mask);
atomic_dec(&watchdog_cpus);
...
}
void hardlockup_detector_perf_cleanup(void)
{
...
perf_event_release_kernel(event);
per_cpu(dead_event, cpu) = NULL;
}
+ mdelay(100);
cpumask_clear(&dead_events_mask);
}
Then, simultaneously performing CPU on/off and switching watchdog, it is
almost certain to reproduce this leak.
The problem here is that releasing perf_event is not within the CPU
hotplug read-write lock. Commit:
941154bd6937 ("watchdog/hardlockup/perf: Prevent CPU hotplug deadlock")
introduced deferred release to solve the deadlock caused by calling
get_online_cpus() when releasing perf_event. Later, commit:
efe951d3de91 ("perf/x86: Fix perf,x86,cpuhp deadlock")
removed the get_online_cpus() call on the perf_event release path to solve
another deadlock problem.
Therefore, it is now possible to move the release of perf_event back
into the CPU hotplug read-write lock, and release the event immediately
after disabling it.

The ftrace selftest reported a failure because writing -1 to
sched_rt_runtime_us returns -EBUSY. This happens when the possible
CPUs are different from active CPUs.
Active CPUs are part of one root domain, while remaining CPUs are part
of def_root_domain. Since active cpumask is being used, this results in
cpus=0 when a non active CPUs is used in the loop.
Fix it by looping over the online CPUs instead for validating the
bandwidth calculations.

It is already difficult for users to troubleshoot which of multiple pid
limits restricts their workload. The per-(hierarchical-)NS pid_max would
contribute to the confusion.
Also, the implementation copies the limit upon creation from
parent, this pattern showed cumbersome with some attributes in legacy
cgroup controllers -- it's subject to race condition between parent's
limit modification and children creation and once copied it must be
changed in the descendant.
Let's do what other places do (ucounts or cgroup limits) -- create new
pid namespaces without any limit at all. The global limit (actually any
ancestor's limit) is still effectively in place, we avoid the
set/unshare race and bumps of global (ancestral) limit have the desired
effect on pid namespace that do not care.

This 'prev' pointer can originate from struct rq's leaf_cfs_rq_list,
making the conversion invalid and potentially leading to memory
corruption. Depending on the relative positions of leaf_cfs_rq_list and
the task group (tg) pointer within the struct, this can cause a memory
fault or access garbage data.
The issue arises in list_add_leaf_cfs_rq, where both
cfs_rq->leaf_cfs_rq_list and rq->leaf_cfs_rq_list are added to the same
leaf list. Also, rq->tmp_alone_branch can be set to rq->leaf_cfs_rq_list.
This adds a check `if (prev == &rq->leaf_cfs_rq_list)` after the main
conditional in child_cfs_rq_on_list. This ensures that the container_of
operation will convert a correct cfs_rq struct.
This check is sufficient because only cfs_rqs on the same CPU are added
to the list, so verifying the 'prev' pointer against the current rq's list
head is enough.
Fixes a potential memory corruption issue that due to current struct
layout might not be manifesting as a crash but could lead to unpredictable
behavior when the layout changes.

Many devices implement highly accurate clocks, which the kernel manages
as PTP Hardware Clocks (PHCs). Userspace applications rely on these
clocks to timestamp events, trace workload execution, correlate
timescales across devices, and keep various clocks in sync.
The kernel’s current implementation of PTP clocks does not enforce file
permissions checks for most device operations except for POSIX clock
operations, where file mode is verified in the POSIX layer before
forwarding the call to the PTP subsystem. Consequently, it is common
practice to not give unprivileged userspace applications any access to
PTP clocks whatsoever by giving the PTP chardevs 600 permissions. An
example of users running into this limitation is documented in [1].
Additionally, POSIX layer requires WRITE permission even for readonly
adjtime() calls which are used in PTP layer to return current frequency
offset applied to the PHC.
Add permission checks for functions that modify the state of a PTP
device. Continue enforcing permission checks for POSIX clock operations
(settime, adjtime) in the POSIX layer. Only require WRITE access for
dynamic clocks adjtime() if any flags are set in the modes field.
[1] https://lists.nwtime.org/sympa/arc/linuxptp-users/2024-01/msg00036.html
Changes in v4:
- Require FMODE_WRITE in ajtime() only for calls modifying the clock in
any way.

File descriptor based pc_clock_*() operations of dynamic posix clocks
have access to the file pointer and implement permission checks in the
generic code before invoking the relevant dynamic clock callback.
Character device operations (open, read, poll, ioctl) do not implement a
generic permission control and the dynamic clock callbacks have no
access to the file pointer to implement them.
Extend struct posix_clock_context with a struct file pointer and
initialize it in posix_clock_open(), so that all dynamic clock callbacks
can access it.
