Pull tracing updates from Steven Rostedt: - User events are finally ready! After lots of collaboration between various parties, we finally locked down on a stable interface for user events that can also work with user space only tracing. This is implemented by telling the kernel (or user space library, but that part is user space only and not part of this patch set), where the variable is that the application uses to know if something is listening to the trace. There's also an interface to tell the kernel about these events, which will show up in the /sys/kernel/tracing/events/user_events/ directory, where it can be enabled. When it's enabled, the kernel will update the variable, to tell the application to start writing to the kernel. See https://lwn.net/Articles/927595/ - Cleaned up the direct trampolines code to simplify arm64 addition of direct trampolines. Direct trampolines use the ftrace interface but instead of jumping to the ftrace trampoline, applications (mostly BPF) can register their own trampoline for performance reasons. - Some updates to the fprobe infrastructure. fprobes are more efficient than kprobes, as it does not need to save all the registers that kprobes on ftrace do. More work needs to be done before the fprobes will be exposed as dynamic events. - More updates to references to the obsolete path of /sys/kernel/debug/tracing for the new /sys/kernel/tracing path. - Add a seq_buf_do_printk() helper to seq_bufs, to print a large buffer line by line instead of all at once. There are users in production kernels that have a large data dump that originally used printk() directly, but the data dump was larger than what printk() allowed as a single print. Using seq_buf() to do the printing fixes that. - Add /sys/kernel/tracing/touched_functions that shows all functions that was every traced by ftrace or a direct trampoline. This is used for debugging issues where a traced function could have caused a crash by a bpf program or live patching. - Add a "fields" option that is similar to "raw" but outputs the fields of the events. It's easier to read by humans. - Some minor fixes and clean ups. * tag 'trace-v6.4' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/trace/linux-trace: (41 commits) ring-buffer: Sync IRQ works before buffer destruction tracing: Add missing spaces in trace_print_hex_seq() ring-buffer: Ensure proper resetting of atomic variables in ring_buffer_reset_online_cpus recordmcount: Fix memory leaks in the uwrite function tracing/user_events: Limit max fault-in attempts tracing/user_events: Prevent same address and bit per process tracing/user_events: Ensure bit is cleared on unregister tracing/user_events: Ensure write index cannot be negative seq_buf: Add seq_buf_do_printk() helper tracing: Fix print_fields() for __dyn_loc/__rel_loc tracing/user_events: Set event filter_type from type ring-buffer: Clearly check null ptr returned by rb_set_head_page() tracing: Unbreak user events tracing/user_events: Use print_format_fields() for trace output tracing/user_events: Align structs with tabs for readability tracing/user_events: Limit global user_event count tracing/user_events: Charge event allocs to cgroups tracing/user_events: Update documentation for ABI tracing/user_events: Use write ABI in example tracing/user_events: Add ABI self-test ...

sched: Fix performance regression introduced by mm_cid

2023-04-21T11:24:20+00:00

Introduce per-mm/cpu current concurrency id (mm_cid) to fix a PostgreSQL sysbench regression reported by Aaron Lu. Keep track of the currently allocated mm_cid for each mm/cpu rather than freeing them immediately on context switch. This eliminates most atomic operations when context switching back and forth between threads belonging to different memory spaces in multi-threaded scenarios (many processes, each with many threads). The per-mm/per-cpu mm_cid values are serialized by their respective runqueue locks. Thread migration is handled by introducing invocation to sched_mm_cid_migrate_to() (with destination runqueue lock held) in activate_task() for migrating tasks. If the destination cpu's mm_cid is unset, and if the source runqueue is not actively using its mm_cid, then the source cpu's mm_cid is moved to the destination cpu on migration. Introduce a task-work executed periodically, similarly to NUMA work, which delays reclaim of cid values when they are unused for a period of time. Keep track of the allocation time for each per-cpu cid, and let the task work clear them when they are observed to be older than SCHED_MM_CID_PERIOD_NS and unused. This task work also clears all mm_cids which are greater or equal to the Hamming weight of the mm cidmask to keep concurrency ids compact. Because we want to ensure the mm_cid converges towards the smaller values as migrations happen, the prior optimization that was done when context switching between threads belonging to the same mm is removed, because it could delay the lazy release of the destination runqueue mm_cid after it has been replaced by a migration. Removing this prior optimization is not an issue performance-wise because the introduced per-mm/per-cpu mm_cid tracking also covers this more specific case.

tracing/user_events: Track fork/exec/exit for mm lifetime

2023-03-29T10:52:08+00:00

During tracefs discussions it was decided instead of requiring a mapping within a user-process to track the lifetime of memory descriptors we should hook the appropriate calls. Do this by adding the minimal stubs required for task fork, exec, and exit. Currently this is just a NOP. Future patches will implement these calls fully.

livepatch,sched: Add livepatch task switching to cond_resched()

2023-03-22T16:09:28+00:00

There have been reports [1][2] of live patches failing to complete within a reasonable amount of time due to CPU-bound kthreads. Fix it by patching tasks in cond_resched(). There are four different flavors of cond_resched(), depending on the kernel configuration. Hook into all of them. A more elegant solution might be to use a preempt notifier. However, non-ORC unwinders can't unwind a preempted task reliably.

tasks: Extract rcu_users out of union

2023-03-13T19:42:24+00:00

In commit 3fbd7ee285b2b ("tasks: Add a count of task RCU users"), a count on the number of RCU users was added to struct task_struct. This was done so as to enable the removal of task_rcu_dereference(), and allow tasks to be protected by RCU even after exiting and being removed from the runqueue. In this commit, the 'refcount_t rcu_users' field that keeps track of this refcount was put into a union co-located with 'struct rcu_head rcu', so as to avoid taking up any extra space in task_struct. This was possible to do safely, because the field was only ever decremented by a static set of specific callers, and then never incremented again. While this restriction of there only being a small, static set of users of this field has worked fine, it prevents us from leveraging the field to use RCU to protect tasks in other contexts. During tracing, for example, it would be useful to be able to collect some tasks that performed a certain operation, put them in a map, and then periodically summarize who they are, which cgroup they're in, how much CPU time they've utilized, etc. While this can currently be done with 'usage', it becomes tricky when a task is already in a map, or if a reference should only be taken if a task is valid and will not soon be reaped. Ideally, we could do something like pass a reference to a map value, and then try to acquire a reference to the task in an RCU read region by using refcount_inc_not_zero(). Similarly, in sched_ext, schedulers are using integer pids to remember tasks, and then looking them up with find_task_by_pid_ns(). This is slow, error prone, and adds complexity. It would be more convenient and performant if BPF schedulers could instead store tasks directly in maps, and then leverage RCU to ensure they can be safely accessed with low overhead. Finally, overloading fields like this is error prone. Someone that wants to use 'rcu_users' could easily overlook the fact that once the rcu callback is scheduled, the refcount will go back to being nonzero, thus precluding the use of refcount_inc_not_zero(). Furthermore, as described below, it's possible to extract the fields of the union without changing the size of task_struct. There are several possible ways to enable this: 1. The lightest touch approach is likely the one proposed in this patch, which is to simply extract 'rcu_users' and 'rcu' from the union, so that scheduling the 'rcu' callback doesn't overwrite the 'rcu_users' refcount. If we have a trusted task pointer, this would allow us to use refcnt_inc_not_zero() inside of an RCU region to determine if we can safely acquire a reference to the task and store it in a map. As mentioned below, this can be done without changing the size of task_struct, by moving the location of the union to another location that has padding gaps we can fill in. 2. Removing 'refcount_t rcu_users', and instead having the entire task be freed in an rcu callback. This is likely the most sound overall design, though it changes the behavioral semantics exposed to callers, who currently expect that a task that's successfully looked up in e.g. the pid_list with find_task_by_pid_ns(), can always have a 'usage' reference acquired on them, as it's guaranteed to be > 0 until after the next gp. In order for this approach to work, we'd have to audit all callers. This approach also slightly changes behavior observed by user space by not invoking trace_sched_process_free() until the whole task_struct is actually being freed, rather than just after it's exited. It also may change timings, as memory will be freed in an RCU callback rather than immediately when the final 'usage' refcount drops to 0. This also is arguably a benefit, as it provides more predictable performance to callers who are refcounting tasks. 3. There may be other solutions as well that don't require changing the layout of task_struct. For example, we could possibly do something complex from the BPF side, such as listen for task exit and remove a task from a map when the task is exiting. This would likely require significant custom handling for task_struct in the verifier, so a more generalizable solution is likely warranted. As mentioned above, this patch proposes the lightest-touch approach which allows callers elsewhere in the kernel to use 'rcu_users' to ensure the lifetime of a task, by extracting 'rcu_users' and 'rcu' from the union. There is no size change in task_struct with this patch. Cc: Linus Torvalds Cc: Eric W.

This adds a new flag, PF_USER_WORKER, that's used for behavior common to to both PF_IO_WORKER and users like vhost which will use a new helper instead of create_io_thread because they require different behavior for operations like signal handling.
