Pull rv and tools/rtla updates from Steven Rostedt:
- Add a test suite to test the tool
Add a small test suite that can be used to test rtla's basic features
to at least have something to test when applying changes.
- Automate manual steps in monitor creation
While creating a new monitor in RV, besides generating code from
dot2k, there are a few manual steps which can be tedious and error
prone, like adding the tracepoints, makefile lines and kconfig, or
selecting events that start the monitor in the initial state.
Updates were made to try and automate as much as possible among those
steps to make creating a new RV monitor much quicker. It is still
requires to select proper tracepoints, this step is harder to
automate in a general way and, in several cases, would still need
user intervention.
- Have rtla timerlat hist and top set OSNOISE_WORKLOAD flag
Have both rtla-timerlat-hist and rtla-timerlat-top set
OSNOISE_WORKLOAD to the proper value ("on" when running with -k,
"off" when running with -u) every time the option is available
instead of setting it only when running with -u.
This prevents rtla timerlat -k from giving no results when
NO_OSNOISE_WORKLOAD is set, either manually or by an abnormally
exited earlier run of rtla timerlat -u.
- Stop rtla timerlat on signal properly when overloaded
There is an issue where if rtla is run on machines with a high number
of CPUs (100+), timerlat can generate more samples than rtla is able
to process via tracefs_iterate_raw_events. This is especially common
when the interval is set to 100us (rteval and cyclictest default) as
opposed to the rtla default of 1000us, but also happens with the rtla
default.
Currently, this leads to rtla hanging and having to be terminated
with SIGTERM. SIGINT setting stop_tracing is not enough, since more
and more events are coming and tracefs_iterate_raw_events never
exits.
To fix this: Stop the timerlat tracer on SIGINT/SIGALRM to ensure no
more events are generated when rtla is supposed to exit.
Also on receiving SIGINT/SIGALRM twice, abort iteration immediately
with tracefs_iterate_stop, making rtla exit right away instead of
waiting for all events to be processed.
- Account for missed events
Due to tracefs buffer overflow, it can happen that rtla misses
events, making the tracing results inaccurate.
Count both the number of missed events and the total number of
processed events, and display missed events as well as their
percentage. The numbers are displayed for both osnoise and timerlat,
even though for the earlier, missed events are generally not
expected.
For hist, the number is displayed at the end of the run; for top, it
is displayed on each printing of the top table.
- Changes to make osnoise more robust
There was a dependency in the code that the first field of the
osnoise_tool structure was the trace field. If that that ever
changed, then the code work break. Change the code to encapsulate
this dependency where the code that uses the structure does not have
this dependency.

Pull runtime verifier and osnoise fixes from Steven Rostedt:
- Reset idle tasks on reset for runtime verifier
When the runtime verifier is reset, it resets the task's data that is
being monitored. But it only iterates for_each_process() which does
not include the idle tasks. As the idle tasks can be monitored, they
need to be reset as well.
- Fix the enabling and disabling of tracepoints in osnoise
If timerlat is enabled and the WORKLOAD flag is not set, then the
osnoise tracer will enable the migrate task tracepoint to monitor it
for its own workload. The test to enable the tracepoint is done
against user space modifiable parameters. On disabling of the tracer,
those same parameters are used to determine if the tracepoint should
be disabled. The problem is if user space were to modify the
parameters after it enables the tracer then it may not disable the
tracepoint.
Instead, a static variable is used to keep track if the tracepoint
was enabled or not. Then when the tracer shuts down, it will use this
variable to decide to disable the tracepoint or not, instead of
looking at the user space parameters.

Switch away from using sha1 for module signing by default and use the
more modern sha512 instead, which is what among others Arch, Fedora,
RHEL, and Ubuntu are currently using for their kernels.
Sha1 has not been considered secure against well-funded opponents since
2005[1]; since 2011 the NIST and other organizations furthermore
recommended its replacement[2]. This is why OpenSSL on RHEL9, Fedora
Linux 41+[3], and likely some other current and future distributions
reject the creation of sha1 signatures, which leads to a build error of
allmodconfig configurations:
80A20474797F0000:error:03000098:digital envelope routines:do_sigver_init:invalid digest:crypto/evp/m_sigver.c:342:

This change makes allmodconfig work again and sets a default that is
more appropriate for current and future users, too.

module_enable_rodata_ro() is called twice, once before module init
to set rodata sections readonly and once after module init to set
rodata_after_init section readonly.
The second time, only the rodata_after_init section needs to be

A kobject is meant to manage the lifecycle of some resource.
However the module sysfs code only creates a kobject to get a
"notes" subdirectory in sysfs.
This can be achieved easier and cheaper by using a sysfs group.

Before SLUB initialization, various subsystems used memblock_alloc to
allocate memory. In most cases, when memory allocation fails, an
immediate panic is required. To simplify this behavior and reduce
repetitive checks, introduce `memblock_alloc_or_panic`. This function
ensures that memory allocation failures result in a panic automatically,
improving code readability and consistency across subsystems that require
this behavior.

Resending this patch as I haven't received feedback on my initial
submission https://lore.kernel.org/all/20241204182953.10854-1-oxana@cloudflare.com/
For the processes which are terminated abnormally the kernel can provide
a coredump if enabled. When the coredump is performed, the process and
all its threads are put into the D state
(TASK_UNINTERRUPTIBLE | TASK_FREEZABLE).
On the other hand, we have kernel thread khungtaskd which monitors the
processes in the D state. If the task stuck in the D state more than
kernel.hung_task_timeout_secs, the hung_task alert appears in the kernel
log.
The higher memory usage of a process, the longer it takes to create
coredump, the longer tasks are in the D state. We have hung_task alerts
for the processes with memory usage above 10Gb. Although, our
kernel.hung_task_timeout_secs is 10 sec when the default is 120 sec.
Adding additional information to the log that the task is blocked by
coredump will help with monitoring. Another approach might be to
completely filter out alerts for such tasks, but in that case we would
lose transparency about what is putting pressure on some system
resources, e.g. we saw an increase in I/O when coredump occurs due its
writing to disk.
Additionally, it would be helpful to have task_struct->flags in the log
from the function sched_show_task(). Currently it prints
task_struct->thread_info->flags, this seems misleading as the line
starts with "task:xxxx".

If a timerlat tracer is started with the osnoise option OSNOISE_WORKLOAD
disabled, but then that option is enabled and timerlat is removed, the
tracepoints that were enabled on timerlat registration do not get
disabled. If the option is disabled again and timelat is started, then it
triggers a warning in the tracepoint code due to registering the
tracepoint again without ever disabling it.
Do not use the same user space defined options to know to disable the
tracepoints when timerlat is removed. Instead, set a global flag when it
is enabled and use that flag to know to disable the events.

The commit 68f83057b913("workqueue: Reap workers via kthread_stop() and
remove detach_completion") adds code to reap the normal workers but
mistakenly does not handle the rescuer and also removes the code waiting
for the rescuer in put_unbound_pool(), which caused a use-after-free bug
reported by Cheung Wall.
To avoid the use-after-free bug, the pool’s reference must be held until
the detachment is complete. Therefore, move the code that puts the pwq
after detaching the rescuer from the pool.

futex_queue() -> __futex_queue() uses 'current' as the task to store in
the struct futex_q->task field. This is fine for synchronous usage of
the futex infrastructure, but it's not always correct when used by
io_uring where the task doing the initial futex_queue() might not be
available later on. This doesn't lead to any issues currently, as the
io_uring side doesn't support PI futexes, but it does leave a
potentially dangling pointer which is never a good idea.
Have futex_queue() take a task_struct argument, and have the regular
callers pass in 'current' for that. Meanwhile io_uring can just pass in
NULL, as the task should never be used off that path. In theory
req->tctx->task could be used here, but there's no point populating it
with a task field that will never be used anyway.

Pull trace fing buffer fix from Steven Rostedt:
"Fix atomic64 operations on some architectures for the tracing ring
buffer:
- Have emulating atomic64 use arch_spin_locks instead of
raw_spin_locks
The tracing ring buffer events have a small timestamp that holds
the delta between itself and the event before it. But this can be
tricky to update when interrupts come in. It originally just set
the deltas to zero for events that interrupted the adding of
another event which made all the events in the interrupt have the
same timestamp as the event it interrupted. This was not suitable
for many tools, so it was eventually fixed. But that fix required
adding an atomic64 cmpxchg on the timestamp in cases where an event
was added while another event was in the process of being added.
Originally, for 32 bit architectures, the manipulation of the 64
bit timestamp was done by a structure that held multiple 32bit
words to hold parts of the timestamp and a counter. But as updates
to the ring buffer were done, maintaining this became too complex
and was replaced by the atomic64 generic operations which are now
used by both 64bit and 32bit architectures. Shortly after that, it
was reported that riscv32 and other 32 bit architectures that just
used the generic atomic64 were locking up. This was because the
generic atomic64 operations defined in lib/atomic64.c uses a
raw_spin_lock() to emulate an atomic64 operation. The problem here
was that raw_spin_lock() can also be traced by the function tracer
(which is commonly used for debugging raw spin locks). Since the
function tracer uses the tracing ring buffer, which now is being
traced internally, this was triggering a recursion and setting off
a warning that the spin locks were recusing.
There's no reason for the code that emulates atomic64 operations to
be using raw_spin_locks which have a lot of debugging
infrastructure attached to them (depending on the config options).
Instead it should be using the arch_spin_lock() which does not have
any infrastructure attached to them and is used by low level
infrastructure like RCU locks, lockdep and of course tracing. Using
arch_spin_lock()s fixes this issue.
- Do not trace in NMI if the architecture uses emulated atomic64
operations
Another issue with using the emulated atomic64 operations that uses
spin locks to emulate the atomic64 operations is that they cannot
be used in NMI context. As an NMI can trigger while holding the
atomic64 spin locks it can try to take the same lock and cause a
deadlock.
Have the ring buffer fail recording events if in NMI context and
the architecture uses the emulated atomic64 operations"

that were used for the mechanisms to add an entry and exit callback.
Now that function graph infrastructure is used by other subsystems
than just the tracer, the calltime and rettime are not needed for

Pull tracing updates from Steven Rostedt:
- Cleanup with guard() and free() helpers
There were several places in the code that had a lot of "goto out" in
the error paths to either unlock a lock or free some memory that was
allocated. But this is error prone. Convert the code over to use the
guard() and free() helpers that let the compiler unlock locks or free
memory when the function exits.
- Update the Rust tracepoint code to use the C code too
There was some duplication of the tracepoint code for Rust that did
the same logic as the C code. Add a helper that makes it possible for
both algorithms to use the same logic in one place.
- Add poll to trace event hist files
It is useful to know when an event is triggered, or even with some
filtering. Since hist files of events get updated when active and the
event is triggered, allow applications to poll the hist file and wake
up when an event is triggered. This will let the application know
that the event it is waiting for happened.
- Add :mod: command to enable events for current or future modules
The function tracer already has a way to enable functions to be
traced in modules by writing ":mod:<module>" into set_ftrace_filter.
That will enable either all the functions for the module if it is
loaded, or if it is not, it will cache that command, and when the
module is loaded that matches <module>, its functions will be
enabled. This also allows init functions to be traced. But currently
events do not have that feature.
Add the command where if ':mod:<module>' is written into set_event,
then either all the modules events are enabled if it is loaded, or
cache it so that the module's events are enabled when it is loaded.
This also works from the kernel command line, where
"trace_event=:mod:<module>", when the module is loaded at boot up,
its events will be enabled then.

Pull fsnotify pre-content notification support from Jan Kara:
"This introduces a new fsnotify event (FS_PRE_ACCESS) that gets
generated before a file contents is accessed.
The event is synchronous so if there is listener for this event, the
kernel waits for reply. On success the execution continues as usual,
on failure we propagate the error to userspace. This allows userspace
to fill in file content on demand from slow storage. The context in
which the events are generated has been picked so that we don't hold
any locks and thus there's no risk of a deadlock for the userspace
handler.
The new pre-content event is available only for users with global
CAP_SYS_ADMIN capability (similarly to other parts of fanotify
functionality) and it is an administrator responsibility to make sure
the userspace event handler doesn't do stupid stuff that can DoS the
system.
Based on your feedback from the last submission, fsnotify code has
been improved and now file->f_mode encodes whether pre-content event
needs to be generated for the file so the fast path when nobody wants
pre-content event for the file just grows the additional file->f_mode
check. As a bonus this also removes the checks whether the old
FS_ACCESS event needs to be generated from the fast path. Also the
place where the event is generated during page fault has been moved so
now filemap_fault() generates the event if and only if there is no
uptodate folio in the page cache.
Also we have dropped FS_PRE_MODIFY event as current real-world users
of the pre-content functionality don't really use it so let's start
with the minimal useful feature set"

In hibernation_platform_enter(), the code did not check the
return value of syscore_suspend(), potentially leading to a
situation where syscore_resume() would be called even if
syscore_suspend() failed. This could cause unpredictable
behavior or system instability.
Modify the code sequence in question to properly handle errors returned
by syscore_suspend(). If an error occurs in the suspend path, the code
now jumps to label 'Enable_irqs' skipping the syscore_resume() call and
only enabling interrupts after setting the system state to SYSTEM_RUNNING.

hrtimers are migrated away from the dying CPU to any online target at
the CPUHP_AP_HRTIMERS_DYING stage in order not to delay bandwidth timers
handling tasks involved in the CPU hotplug forward progress.
However wakeups can still be performed by the outgoing CPU after
CPUHP_AP_HRTIMERS_DYING. Those can result again in bandwidth timers being
armed. Depending on several considerations (crystal ball power management
based election, earliest timer already enqueued, timer migration enabled or
not), the target may eventually be the current CPU even if offline. If that
happens, the timer is eventually ignored.
The most notable example is RCU which had to deal with each and every of
those wake-ups by deferring them to an online CPU, along with related
workarounds:
_ e787644caf76 (rcu: Defer RCU kthreads wakeup when CPU is dying)
_ 9139f93209d1 (rcu/nocb: Fix RT throttling hrtimer armed from offline CPU)
_ f7345ccc62a4 (rcu/nocb: Fix rcuog wake-up from offline softirq)
The problem isn't confined to RCU though as the stop machine kthread
(which runs CPUHP_AP_HRTIMERS_DYING) reports its completion at the end
of its work through cpu_stop_signal_done() and performs a wake up that
eventually arms the deadline server timer:

Instead of providing yet another bandaid to work around the situation, fix
it in the hrtimers infrastructure instead: always migrate away a timer to
an online target whenever it is enqueued from an offline CPU.
This will also allow to revert all the above RCU disgraceful hacks.

When is_migration_base() is unused, it prevents kernel builds
with clang, `make W=1` and CONFIG_WERROR=y:
kernel/time/hrtimer.c:156:20: error: unused function 'is_migration_base' [-Werror,-Wunused-function]
156 | static inline bool is_migration_base(struct hrtimer_clock_base *base)
| ^~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Fix this by marking it with __always_inline.
[ tglx: Use __always_inline instead of __maybe_unused and move it into the
usage sites conditional ]

Included are some pieces of new hardware support, like the addition of
Clearwater Forest processors support to intel_idle, new cpufreq driver
for Airoha SoCs, and Apple cpufreq driver extensions to support more
SoCs. The intel_pstate driver is also extended to be able to support
new platforms by using ACPI CPPC to compute scaling factors between

Pull networking updates from Paolo Abeni:
"This is slightly smaller than usual, with the most interesting work
being still around RTNL scope reduction.
Core:
- More core refactoring to reduce the RTNL lock contention, including
preparatory work for the per-network namespace RTNL lock, replacing
RTNL lock with a per device-one to protect NAPI-related net device
data and moving synchronize_net() calls outside such lock.
- Extend drop reasons usage, adding net scheduler, AF_UNIX, bridge
and more specific TCP coverage.
- Reduce network namespace tear-down time by removing per-subsystems
synchronize_net() in tipc and sched.
- Add flow label selector support for fib rules, allowing traffic
redirection based on such header field.
Netfilter:
- Do not remove netdev basechain when last device is gone, allowing
netdev basechains without devices.
- Revisit the flowtable teardown strategy, dealing better with fin,
reset and re-open events.
- Scale-up IP-vs connection dumping by avoiding linear search on each
restart.
Protocols:
- A significant XDP socket refactor, consolidating and optimizing
several helpers into the core
- Better scaling of ICMP rate-limiting, by removing false-sharing in
inet peers handling.
- Introduces netlink notifications for multicast IPv4 and IPv6
address changes.
- Add ipsec support for IP-TFS/AggFrag encapsulation, allowing
aggregation and fragmentation of the inner IP.
- Add sysctl to configure TIME-WAIT reuse delay for TCP sockets, to
avoid local port exhaustion issues when the average connection
lifetime is very short.
- Support updating keys (re-keying) for connections using kernel TLS
(for TLS 1.3 only).
- Support ipv4-mapped ipv6 address clients in smc-r v2.
- Add support for jumbo data packet transmission in RxRPC sockets,
gluing multiple data packets in a single UDP packet.
- Support RxRPC RACK-TLP to manage packet loss and retransmission in
conjunction with the congestion control algorithm.
Driver API:
- Introduce a unified and structured interface for reporting PHY
statistics, exposing consistent data across different H/W via
ethtool.
- Make timestamping selectable, allow the user to select the desired
hwtstamp provider (PHY or MAC) administratively.
- Add support for configuring a header-data-split threshold (HDS)
value via ethtool, to deal with partial or buggy H/W
implementation.
- Consolidate DSA drivers Energy Efficiency Ethernet support.
- Add EEE management to phylink, making use of the phylib
implementation.
- Add phylib support for in-band capabilities negotiation.
- Simplify how phylib-enabled mac drivers expose the supported
interfaces.
Tests and tooling:
- Make the YNL tool package-friendly to make it easier to deploy it
separately from the kernel.
- Increase TCP selftest coverage importing several packetdrill
test-cases.
- Regenerate the ethtool uapi header from the YNL spec, to ease
maintenance and future development.

Pull lsm updates from Paul Moore:
- Improved handling of LSM "secctx" strings through lsm_context struct
The LSM secctx string interface is from an older time when only one
LSM was supported, migrate over to the lsm_context struct to better
support the different LSMs we now have and make it easier to support
new LSMs in the future.
These changes explain the Rust, VFS, and networking changes in the
diffstat.
- Only build lsm_audit.c if CONFIG_SECURITY and CONFIG_AUDIT are
enabled
Small tweak to be a bit smarter about when we build the LSM's common
audit helpers.
- Check for absurdly large policies from userspace in SafeSetID
SafeSetID policies rules are fairly small, basically just "UID:UID",
it easy to impose a limit of KMALLOC_MAX_SIZE on policy writes which
helps quiet a number of syzbot related issues. While work is being
done to address the syzbot issues through other mechanisms, this is a
trivial and relatively safe fix that we can do now.
- Various minor improvements and cleanups
A collection of improvements to the kernel selftests, constification
of some function parameters, removing redundant assignments, and
local variable renames to improve readability.

The function graph infrastructure is now generic so that kretprobes,
fprobes and BPF can use it. But there is still some leftover logic that
only the function graph tracer itself uses. This is the calculation of the
calltime and return time of the functions. The calculation of the calltime
has been moved into the function graph tracer and those users that need it
so that it doesn't cause overhead to the other users. But the return
function timestamp was still called.
Instead of just moving the taking of the timestamp into the function graph
trace remove the calltime and rettime completely from the ftrace_graph_ret
structure. Instead, move it into the function graph return entry event
structure and this also moves all the calltime and rettime logic out of
the generic fgraph.c code and into the tracing code that uses it.
This has been reported to decrease the overhead by ~27%.

Pull kthread updates from Frederic Weisbecker:
"Kthreads affinity follow either of 4 existing different patterns:
1) Per-CPU kthreads must stay affine to a single CPU and never
execute relevant code on any other CPU. This is currently handled
by smpboot code which takes care of CPU-hotplug operations.
Affinity here is a correctness constraint.
2) Some kthreads _have_ to be affine to a specific set of CPUs and
can't run anywhere else. The affinity is set through
kthread_bind_mask() and the subsystem takes care by itself to
handle CPU-hotplug operations. Affinity here is assumed to be a
correctness constraint.
3) Per-node kthreads _prefer_ to be affine to a specific NUMA node.
This is not a correctness constraint but merely a preference in
terms of memory locality. kswapd and kcompactd both fall into this
category. The affinity is set manually like for any other task and
CPU-hotplug is supposed to be handled by the relevant subsystem so
that the task is properly reaffined whenever a given CPU from the
node comes up. Also care should be taken so that the node affinity
doesn't cross isolated (nohz_full) cpumask boundaries.
4) Similar to the previous point except kthreads have a _preferred_
affinity different than a node. Both RCU boost kthreads and RCU
exp kworkers fall into this category as they refer to "RCU nodes"
from a distinctly distributed tree.
Currently the preferred affinity patterns (3 and 4) have at least 4
identified users, with more or less success when it comes to handle
CPU-hotplug operations and CPU isolation. Each of which do it in its
own ad-hoc way.
This is an infrastructure proposal to handle this with the following
API changes:
- kthread_create_on_node() automatically affines the created kthread
to its target node unless it has been set as per-cpu or bound with
kthread_bind[_mask]() before the first wake-up.
- kthread_affine_preferred() is a new function that can be called
right after kthread_create_on_node() to specify a preferred
affinity different than the specified node.
When the preferred affinity can't be applied because the possible
targets are offline or isolated (nohz_full), the kthread is affine to
the housekeeping CPUs (which means to all online CPUs most of the time
or only the non-nohz_full CPUs when nohz_full= is set).
kswapd, kcompactd, RCU boost kthreads and RCU exp kworkers have been
converted, along with a few old drivers.
Summary of the changes:
- Consolidate a bunch of ad-hoc implementations of
kthread_run_on_cpu()
- Introduce task_cpu_fallback_mask() that defines the default last
resort affinity of a task to become nohz_full aware
- Add some correctness check to ensure kthread_bind() is always
called before the first kthread wake up.
- Default affine kthread to its preferred node.
- Convert kswapd / kcompactd and remove their halfway working ad-hoc
affinity implementation
- Implement kthreads preferred affinity
- Unify kthread worker and kthread API's style
- Convert RCU kthreads to the new API and remove the ad-hoc affinity
implementation"
