Similar to commit: 1a63dcd8765b ("softirq: Reorder trace_softirqs_on to prevent lockdep splat") __local_bh_enable_ip() can also call into tracing with inconsistent state. Unlike that commit we don't need to bother about the tracepoint because 'cnt-1' never matches preempt_count() (by construction).

2020-12-02irq: Call tick_irq_enter() inside HARDIRQ_OFFSETFrederic Weisbecker1-9/+5
Now that account_hardirq_enter() is called after HARDIRQ_OFFSET has been incremented, there is nothing left that prevents us from also moving tick_irq_enter() after HARDIRQ_OFFSET is incremented. The desired outcome is to remove the nasty hack that prevents softirqs from being raised through ksoftirqd instead of the hardirq bottom half. Also tick_irq_enter() then becomes appropriately covered by lockdep.

2020-12-02irqtime: Move irqtime entry accounting after irq offset incrementationFrederic Weisbecker1-3/+3
IRQ time entry is currently accounted before HARDIRQ_OFFSET or SOFTIRQ_OFFSET are incremented. This is convenient to decide to which index the cputime to account is dispatched. Unfortunately it prevents tick_irq_enter() from being called under HARDIRQ_OFFSET because tick_irq_enter() has to be called before the IRQ entry accounting due to the necessary clock catch up. As a result we don't benefit from appropriate lockdep coverage on tick_irq_enter(). To prepare for fixing this, move the IRQ entry cputime accounting after the preempt offset is incremented. This requires the cputime dispatch code to handle the extra offset.

2020-07-30tasklet: Introduce new initialization APIRomain Perier1-1/+17
Nowadays, modern kernel subsystems that use callbacks pass the data structure associated with a given callback as argument to the callback. The tasklet subsystem remains one which passes an arbitrary unsigned long to the callback function. This has several problems: - This keeps an extra field for storing the argument in each tasklet data structure, it bloats the tasklet_struct structure with a redundant .data field - No type checking can be performed on this argument. Instead of using container_of() like other callback subsystems, it forces callbacks to do explicit type cast of the unsigned long argument into the required object type. - Buffer overflows can overwrite the .func and the .data field, so an attacker can easily overwrite the function and its first argument to whatever it wants. Add a new tasklet initialization API, via DECLARE_TASKLET() and tasklet_setup(), which will replace the existing ones. This work is greatly inspired by the timer_struct conversion series, see commit e99e88a9d2b0 ("treewide: setup_timer() -> timer_setup()") To avoid problems with both -Wcast-function-type (which is enabled in the kernel via -Wextra is several subsystems), and with mismatched function prototypes when build with Control Flow Integrity enabled, this adds the "use_callback" member to let the tasklet caller choose which union member to call through. Once all old API uses are removed, this and the .data member will be removed as well. (On 64-bit this does not grow the struct size as the new member fills the hole after atomic_t, which is also "int" sized.)

2019-02-10softirq: Don't skip softirq execution when softirq thread is parkingMatthias Kaehlcke1-1/+2
When a CPU is unplugged the kernel threads of this CPU are parked (see smpboot_park_threads()). kthread_park() is used to mark each thread as parked and wake it up, so it can complete the process of parking itselfs (see smpboot_thread_fn()). If local softirqs are pending on interrupt exit invoke_softirq() is called to process the softirqs, however it skips processing when the softirq kernel thread of the local CPU is scheduled to run. The softirq kthread is one of the threads that is parked when a CPU is unplugged. Parking the kthread wakes it up, however only to complete the parking process, not to process the pending softirqs. Hence processing of softirqs at the end of an interrupt is skipped, but not done elsewhere, which can result in warnings about pending softirqs when a CPU is unplugged: /sys/devices/system/cpu # echo 0 > cpu4/online [ ... ] NOHZ: local_softirq_pending 02 [ ... ] NOHZ: local_softirq_pending 202 [ ... ] CPU4: shutdown [ ... ] psci: CPU4 killed. Don't skip processing of softirqs at the end of an interrupt when the softirq thread of the CPU is parking.

2018-08-31rcu: Define RCU-bh update API in terms of RCUPaul E. McKenney1-1/+0
Now that the main RCU API knows about softirq disabling and softirq's quiescent states, the RCU-bh update code can be dispensed with. This commit therefore removes the RCU-bh update-side implementation and defines RCU-bh's update-side API in terms of that of either RCU-preempt or RCU-sched, depending on the setting of the CONFIG_PREEMPT Kconfig option. In kernels built with CONFIG_RCU_NOCB_CPU=y this has the knock-on effect of reducing by one the number of rcuo kthreads per CPU. Signed-off-by: Paul E. McKenney <paulmck@linux.vnet.ibm.com>
2018-08-31rcu: Apply RCU-bh QSes to RCU-sched and RCU-preempt when safePaul E. McKenney1-0/+2
One necessary step towards consolidating the three flavors of RCU is to make sure that the resulting consolidated "one flavor to rule them all" correctly handles networking denial-of-service attacks. One thing that allows RCU-bh to do so is that __do_softirq() invokes rcu_bh_qs() every so often, and so something similar has to happen for consolidated RCU. This must be done carefully. For example, if a preemption-disabled region of code takes an interrupt which does softirq processing before returning, consolidated RCU must ignore the resulting rcu_bh_qs() invocations -- preemption is still disabled, and that means an RCU reader for the consolidated flavor. This commit therefore creates a new rcu_softirq_qs() that is called only from the ksoftirqd task, thus avoiding the interrupted-a-preempted-region problem. This new rcu_softirq_qs() function invokes rcu_sched_qs(), rcu_preempt_qs(), and rcu_preempt_deferred_qs(). The latter call handles any deferred quiescent states. Note that __do_softirq() still invokes rcu_bh_qs(). It will continue to do so until a later stage of cleanup when the RCU-bh flavor is removed. Signed-off-by: Paul E.

2018-08-03nohz: Fix missing tick reprogram when interrupting an inline softirqFrederic Weisbecker1-1/+1
The full nohz tick is reprogrammed in irq_exit() only if the exit is not in a nesting interrupt. This stands as an optimization: whether a hardirq or a softirq is interrupted, the tick is going to be reprogrammed when necessary at the end of the inner interrupt, with even potential new updates on the timer queue. When soft interrupts are interrupted, it's assumed that they are executing on the tail of an interrupt return. In that case tick_nohz_irq_exit() is called after softirq processing to take care of the tick reprogramming. But the assumption is wrong: softirqs can be processed inline as well, ie: outside of an interrupt, like in a call to local_bh_enable() or from ksoftirqd. Inline softirqs don't reprogram the tick once they are done, as opposed to interrupt tail softirq processing. So if a tick interrupts an inline softirq processing, the next timer will neither be reprogrammed from the interrupting tick's irq_exit() nor after the interrupted softirq processing. This situation may leave the tick unprogrammed while timers are armed. To fix this, simply keep reprogramming the tick even if a softirq has been interrupted. That can be optimized further, but for now correctness is more important. Note that new timers enqueued in nohz_full mode after a softirq gets interrupted will still be handled just fine through self-IPIs triggered by the timer code.

2018-07-17Mark HI and TASKLET softirq synchronousLinus Torvalds1-4/+8
Way back in 4.9, we committed 4cd13c21b207 ("softirq: Let ksoftirqd do its job"), and ever since we've had small nagging issues with it. For example, we've had: 1ff688209e2e ("watchdog: core: make sure the watchdog_worker is not deferred") 8d5755b3f77b ("watchdog: softdog: fire watchdog even if softirqs do not get to run") 217f69743681 ("net: busy-poll: allow preemption in sk_busy_loop()") all of which worked around some of the effects of that commit. The DVB people have also complained that the commit causes excessive USB URB latencies, which seems to be due to the USB code using tasklets to schedule USB traffic. This seems to be an issue mainly when already living on the edge, but waiting for ksoftirqd to handle it really does seem to cause excessive latencies. Now Hanna Hawa reports that this issue isn't just limited to USB URB and DVB, but also causes timeout problems for the Marvell SoC team: "I'm facing kernel panic issue while running raid 5 on sata disks connected to Macchiatobin (Marvell community board with Armada-8040 SoC with 4 ARMv8 cores of CA72) Raid 5 built with Marvell DMA engine and async_tx mechanism (ASYNC_TX_DMA [=y]); the DMA driver (mv_xor_v2) uses a tasklet to clean the done descriptors from the queue" The latency problem causes a panic: mv_xor_v2 f0400000.xor: dma_sync_wait: timeout! Kernel panic - not syncing: async_tx_quiesce: DMA error waiting for transaction We've discussed simply just reverting the original commit entirely, and also much more involved solutions (with per-softirq threads etc). This patch is intentionally stupid and fairly limited, because the issue still remains, and the other solutions either got sidetracked or had other issues. We should probably also consider the timer softirqs to be synchronous and not be delayed to ksoftirqd (since they were the issue with the earlier watchdog problems), but that should be done as a separate patch. This does only the tasklet cases.

git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/tip/tip Pull irq updates from Thomas Gleixner: - Consolidation of softirq pending: The softirq mask and its accessors/mutators have many implementations scattered around many architectures. Most do the same things consisting in a field in a per-cpu struct (often irq_cpustat_t) accessed through per-cpu ops. We can provide instead a generic efficient version that most of them can use. In fact s390 is the only exception because the field is stored in lowcore. - Support for level!?! triggered MSI (ARM) Over the past couple of years, we've seen some SoCs coming up with ways of signalling level interrupts using a new flavor of MSIs, where the MSI controller uses two distinct messages: one that raises a virtual line, and one that lowers it. The target MSI controller is in charge of maintaining the state of the line. This allows for a much simplified HW signal routing (no need to have hundreds of discrete lines to signal level interrupts if you already have a memory bus), but results in a departure from the current idea the kernel has of MSIs. - Support for Meson-AXG GPIO irqchip - Large stm32 irqchip rework (suspend/resume, hierarchical domains) - More SPDX conversions * 'irq-core-for-linus' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/tip/tip: (36 commits) ARM: dts: stm32: Add exti support to stm32mp157 pinctrl ARM: dts: stm32: Add exti support for stm32mp157c pinctrl/stm32: Add irq_eoi for stm32gpio irqchip irqchip/stm32: Add suspend/resume support for hierarchy domain irqchip/stm32: Add stm32mp1 support with hierarchy domain irqchip/stm32: Prepare common functions irqchip/stm32: Add host and driver data structures irqchip/stm32: Add suspend support irqchip/stm32: Add falling pending register support irqchip/stm32: Checkpatch fix irqchip/stm32: Optimizes and cleans up stm32-exti irq_domain irqchip/meson-gpio: Add support for Meson-AXG SoCs dt-bindings: interrupt-controller: New binding for Meson-AXG SoC dt-bindings: interrupt-controller: Fix the double quotes softirq/s390: Move default mutators of overwritten softirq mask to s390 softirq/x86: Switch to generic local_softirq_pending() implementation softirq/sparc: Switch to generic local_softirq_pending() implementation softirq/powerpc: Switch to generic local_softirq_pending() implementation softirq/parisc: Switch to generic local_softirq_pending() implementation softirq/ia64: Switch to generic local_softirq_pending() implementation ...

current_restore_flags() It is not safe for one thread to modify the ->flags of another thread as there is no locking that can protect the update. So tsk_restore_flags(), which takes a task pointer and modifies the flags, is an invitation to do the wrong thing. All current users pass "current" as the task, so no developers have accepted that invitation. It would be best to ensure it remains that way. So rename tsk_restore_flags() to current_restore_flags() and don't pass in a task_struct pointer. Always operate on current->flags.

If the attribute is on a variable then the plugin will initialize it with random contents. The variable must be an integer, an integer array type or a structure with integer fields. These specific functions have been selected because they are init functions (to help gather boot-time entropy), are called at unpredictable times, or they have variable loops, each of which provide some level of latent entropy.

2016-09-30softirq: Let ksoftirqd do its jobEric Dumazet1-1/+15
A while back, Paolo and Hannes sent an RFC patch adding threaded-able napi poll loop support : (https://patchwork.ozlabs.org/patch/620657/) The problem seems to be that softirqs are very aggressive and are often handled by the current process, even if we are under stress and that ksoftirqd was scheduled, so that innocent threads would have more chance to make progress. This patch makes sure that if ksoftirq is running, we let it perform the softirq work. Jonathan Corbet summarized the issue in https://lwn.net/Articles/687617/ Tested: - NIC receiving traffic handled by CPU 0 - UDP receiver running on CPU 0, using a single UDP socket. - Incoming flood of UDP packets targeting the UDP socket. Before the patch, the UDP receiver could almost never get CPU cycles and could only receive ~2,000 packets per second. After the patch, CPU cycles are split 50/50 between user application and ksoftirqd/0, and we can effectively read ~900,000 packets per second, a huge improvement in DOS situation. (Note that more packets are now dropped by the NIC itself, since the BH handlers get less CPU cycles to drain RX ring buffer) Since the load runs in well identified threads context, an admin can more easily tune process scheduling parameters if needed.

2016-02-29sched/debug: Fix preempt_disable_ip recording for preempt_disable()Sebastian Andrzej Siewior1-2/+2
The preempt_disable() invokes preempt_count_add() which saves the caller in ->preempt_disable_ip. It uses CALLER_ADDR1 which does not look for its caller but for the parent of the caller. Which means we get the correct caller for something like spin_lock() unless the architectures inlines those invocations. It is always wrong for preempt_disable() or local_bh_disable(). This patch makes the function get_lock_parent_ip() which tries CALLER_ADDR0,1,2 if the former is a locking function. This seems to record the preempt_disable() caller properly for preempt_disable() itself as well as for get_cpu_var() or local_bh_disable().

Simplify run_ksoftirqd() by using the new cond_resched_rcu_qs() function that conditionally reschedules, but unconditionally supplies an RCU quiescent state. This commit is separate from the previous commit by Calvin Owens because Calvin's approach can be backported, while this commit cannot be.

This seemingly innocuous change caused a significant regression in softirq CPU usage on the sending side of a large TCP transfer (~1 GB/s): when introducing 0.01% packet loss, the softirq usage would jump to around 25%, spiking as high as 50%. Before the change, the usage would never exceed 5%. Moving the call to rcu_note_context_switch() after the cond_sched() call, as it was originally before the hotplug patch, completely eliminated this problem.

2015-01-14softirq/preempt: Add missing current->preempt_disable_ip updateHeiko Carstens1-1/+5
While debugging some "sleeping function called from invalid context" bug I realized that the debugging message "Preemption disabled at:" pointed to an incorrect function. In particular if the last function/action that disabled preemption was spin_lock_bh() then current->preempt_disable_ip won't be updated. The reason for this is that __local_bh_disable_ip() will increase preempt_count manually instead of calling preempt_count_add(), which would handle the update correctly. It look like the manual handling was done to work around some lockdep issue. So add the missing update of current->preempt_disable_ip to __local_bh_disable_ip() as well.

Unfortunately, the former sometimes is tricky thanks to C being a bit messy with the distinction between lvalues and pointers, which led to a rather ugly solution for cpumask_var_t involving the introduction of this_cpu_cpumask_var_ptr(). This converts most of the uses but not all. Christoph will follow up with the remaining conversions in this merge window and hopefully remove the obsolete accessors" * 'for-3.18-consistent-ops' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/tj/percpu: (38 commits) irqchip: Properly fetch the per cpu offset percpu: Resolve ambiguities in __get_cpu_var/cpumask_var_t -fix ia64: sn_nodepda cannot be assigned to after this_cpu conversion.
