task_work: make TWA_NMI_CURRENT handling conditional on IRQ_WORK

2024-07-29T19:05:06+00:00

The TWA_NMI_CURRENT handling very much depends on IRQ_WORK, but that isn't universally enabled everywhere. Maybe the IRQ_WORK infrastructure should just be unconditional - x86 ends up indirectly enabling it through unconditionally enabling PERF_EVENTS, for example. But it also gets enabled by having SMP support, or even if you just have PRINTK enabled. But in the meantime TWA_NMI_CURRENT causes tons of build failures on various odd minimal configs. Which did show up in linux-next, but despite that nobody bothered to fix it or even inform me until -rc1 was out.

profiling: attempt to remove per-cpu profile flip buffer

2024-07-29T17:58:28+00:00

This is the really old legacy kernel profiling code, which has long since been obviated by "real profiling" (ie 'prof' and company), and mainly remains as a source of syzbot reports. There are anecdotal reports that people still use it for boot-time profiling, but it's unlikely that such use would care about the old NUMA optimizations in this code from 2004 (commit ad02973d42: "profile: 512x Altix timer interrupt livelock fix" in the BK import archive at [1]) So in order to head off future syzbot reports, let's try to simplify this code and get rid of the per-cpu profile buffers that are quite a large portion of the complexity footprint of this thing (including CPU hotplug callbacks etc). It's unlikely anybody will actually notice, or possibly, as Thomas put it: "Only people who indulge in nostalgia will notice :)". That said, if it turns out that this code is actually actively used by somebody, we can always revert this removal. Thus the "attempt" in the summary line. [ Note: in a small nod to "the profiling code can cause NUMA problems", this also removes the "increment the last entry in the profiling array on any unknown hits" logic. That would account any program counter in a module to that single counter location, and might exacerbate any NUMA cacheline bouncing issues ] Link: https://lore.kernel.org/all/CAHk-=wgs52BxT4Zjmjz8aNvHWKxf5_ThBY4bYL1Y6CTaNL2dTw@mail.gmail.com/ Link: https://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/tglx/history.git [1] Cc: Thomas Gleixner Cc: Tetsuo Handa Signed-off-by: Linus Torvalds

profiling: remove prof_cpu_mask

2024-07-29T17:45:54+00:00

syzbot is reporting uninit-value at profile_hits(), for there is a race window between if (!alloc_cpumask_var(&prof_cpu_mask, GFP_KERNEL)) return -ENOMEM; cpumask_copy(prof_cpu_mask, cpu_possible_mask); in profile_init() and cpumask_available(prof_cpu_mask) && cpumask_test_cpu(smp_processor_id(), prof_cpu_mask)) in profile_tick(); prof_cpu_mask remains uninitialzed until cpumask_copy() completes while cpumask_available(prof_cpu_mask) returns true as soon as alloc_cpumask_var(&prof_cpu_mask) completes. We could replace alloc_cpumask_var() with zalloc_cpumask_var() and call cpumask_copy() from create_proc_profile() on only UP kernels, for profile_online_cpu() calls cpumask_set_cpu() as needed via cpuhp_setup_state(CPUHP_AP_ONLINE_DYN) on SMP kernels. But this patch removes prof_cpu_mask because it seems unnecessary. The cpumask_test_cpu(smp_processor_id(), prof_cpu_mask) test in profile_tick() is likely always true due to a CPU cannot call profile_tick() if that CPU is offline and cpumask_set_cpu(cpu, prof_cpu_mask) is called when that CPU becomes online and cpumask_clear_cpu(cpu, prof_cpu_mask) is called when that CPU becomes offline . This test could be false during transition between online and offline. But according to include/linux/cpuhotplug.h , CPUHP_PROFILE_PREPARE belongs to PREPARE section, which means that the CPU subjected to profile_dead_cpu() cannot be inside profile_tick() (i.e. no risk of use-after-free bug) because interrupt for that CPU is disabled during PREPARE section. Therefore, this test is guaranteed to be true, and can be removed. (Since profile_hits() checks prof_buffer != NULL, we don't need to check prof_buffer != NULL here unless get_irq_regs() or user_mode() is such slow that we want to avoid when prof_buffer == NULL). do_profile_hits() is called from profile_tick() from timer interrupt only if cpumask_test_cpu(smp_processor_id(), prof_cpu_mask) is true and prof_buffer is not NULL. But syzbot is also reporting that sometimes do_profile_hits() is called while current thread is still doing vzalloc(), where prof_buffer must be NULL at this moment. This indicates that multiple threads concurrently tried to write to /sys/kernel/profiling interface, which caused that somebody else try to re-allocate prof_buffer despite somebody has already allocated prof_buffer.

minmax: simplify min()/max()/clamp() implementation

2024-07-29T03:24:12+00:00

Now that we no longer have any C constant expression contexts (ie array size declarations or static initializers) that use min() or max(), we can simpify the implementation by not having to worry about the result staying as a C constant expression. So now we can unconditionally just use temporary variables of the right type, and get rid of the excessive expansion that used to come from the use of __builtin_choose_expr(__is_constexpr(...), .. to pick the specialized code for constant expressions. Another expansion simplification is to pass the temporary variables (in addition to the original expression) to our __types_ok() macro. That may superficially look like it complicates the macro, but when we only want the type of the expression, expanding the temporary variable names is much simpler and smaller than expanding the potentially complicated original expression. As a result, on my machine, doing a $ time make drivers/staging/media/atomisp/pci/isp/kernels/ynr/ynr_1.0/ia_css_ynr.host.i goes from real 0m16.621s user 0m15.360s sys 0m1.221s to real 0m2.532s user 0m2.091s sys 0m0.452s because the token expansion goes down dramatically. In particular, the longest line expansion (which was line 71 of that 'ia_css_ynr.host.c' file) shrinks from 23,338kB (yes, 23MB for one single line) to "just" 1,444kB (now "only" 1.4MB). And yes, that line is still the line from hell, because it's doing multiple levels of "min()/max()" expansion thanks to some of them being hidden inside the uDIGIT_FITTING() macro. Lorenzo has a nice cleanup patch that makes that driver use inline functions instead of macros for sDIGIT_FITTING() and uDIGIT_FITTING(), which will fix that line once and for all, but the 16-fold reduction in this case does show why we need to simplify these helpers.

minmax: don't use max() in situations that want a C constant expression

2024-07-29T03:23:27+00:00

We only had a couple of array[] declarations, and changing them to just use 'MAX()' instead of 'max()' fixes the issue. This will allow us to simplify our min/max macros enormously, since they can now unconditionally use temporary variables to avoid using the argument values multiple times.

minmax: scsi: fix mis-use of 'clamp()' in sr.c

2024-07-29T00:06:20+00:00

While working on simplifying the minmax functions, and avoiding excessive macro expansion, it turns out that the sr.c use of the 'clamp()' macro has the arguments the wrong way around. The clamp logic is val = clamp(in, low, high); and it returns the input clamped to the low/high limits. But sr.c ddid speed = clamp(0, speed, 0xffff / 177); which clamps the value '0' to the range '[speed, 0xffff / 177]' and ends up being nonsensical. Happily, I don't think anybody ever cared.

minmax: make generic MIN() and MAX() macros available everywhere

2024-07-28T22:49:18+00:00

This just standardizes the use of MIN() and MAX() macros, with the very traditional semantics. The goal is to use these for C constant expressions and for top-level / static initializers, and so be able to simplify the min()/max() macros. These macro names were used by various kernel code - they are very traditional, after all - and all such users have been fixed up, with a few different approaches: - trivial duplicated macro definitions have been removed Note that 'trivial' here means that it's obviously kernel code that already included all the major kernel headers, and thus gets the new generic MIN/MAX macros automatically. - non-trivial duplicated macro definitions are guarded with #ifndef This is the "yes, they define their own versions, but no, the include situation is not entirely obvious, and maybe they don't get the generic version automatically" case. - strange use case #1 A couple of drivers decided that the way they want to describe their versioning is with #define MAJ 1 #define MIN 2 #define DRV_VERSION __stringify(MAJ) "." __stringify(MIN) which adds zero value and I just did my Alexander the Great impersonation, and rewrote that pointless Gordian knot as #define DRV_VERSION "1.2" instead. - strange use case #2 A couple of drivers thought that it's a good idea to have a random 'MIN' or 'MAX' define for a value or index into a table, rather than the traditional macro that takes arguments. These values were re-written as C enum's instead. The new function-line macros only expand when followed by an open parenthesis, and thus don't clash with enum use. Happily, there weren't really all that many of these cases, and a lot of users already had the pattern of using '#ifndef' guarding (or in one case just using '#undef MIN') before defining their own private version that does the same thing. I left such cases alone. Cc: David Laight Cc: Lorenzo Stoakes Signed-off-by: Linus Torvalds
