clang -Wunused-function found one remaining function that was apparently meant to be removed in a recent code cleanup: kernel/cpu.c:565:20: warning: unused function 'check_for_tasks' [-Wunused-function] Sebastian explained: The function became unused unintentionally, but there is already a failure check, when a task cannot be removed from the outgoing cpu in the scheduler code, so bringing it back is not really giving any extra value.

The CPU hotplug callbacks are not covered by lockdep versus the cpu hotplug rwsem. CPU0 CPU1 cpuhp_setup_state(STATE, startup, teardown); cpus_read_lock(); invoke_callback_on_ap(); kick_hotplug_thread(ap); wait_for_completion(); hotplug_thread_fn() lock(m); do_stuff(); unlock(m); Lockdep does not know about this dependency and will not trigger on the following code sequence: lock(m); cpus_read_lock(); Add a lockdep map and connect the initiators lock chain with the hotplug thread lock chain, so potential deadlocks can be detected.

Converting the cpu hotplug locking to a percpu rwsem unearthed hidden lock ordering problems. There is a wide range of locks involved in this: kprobe_mutex, jump_label_mutex, ftrace_lock, text_mutex, event_mutex, module_mutex, func_hash->regex_lock and a gazillion of lock order permutations with nested get_online_cpus() calls. Some of those permutations are potential deadlocks even with the current nesting hotplug locking scheme, but they can't be discovered by lockdep. The conversion of the hotplug locking to a percpu rwsem requires to prevent nested locking, so it's required to take the hotplug rwsem early in the call chain and establish a proper lock order. After quite some analysis and going down the wrong road severa times the following lock order has been chosen: kprobe_mutex -> cpus_rwsem -> jump_label_mutex -> text_mutex For kprobes which hook on an ftrace function trace point, it's required to drop cpus_rwsem before calling into the ftrace code to avoid a deadlock on the func_hash->regex_lock.

The conversion of the hotplug locking to a percpu rwsem unearthed lock ordering issues all over the place. The jump_label code has two issues: 1) Nested get_online_cpus() invocations 2) Ordering problems vs. the cpus rwsem and the jump_label_mutex To cure these, the following lock order has been established; cpus_rwsem -> jump_label_lock -> text_mutex Even if not all architectures need protection against CPU hotplug, taking cpus_rwsem before jump_label_lock is now mandatory in code pathes which actually modify code and therefor need text_mutex protection. Move the get_online_cpus() invocations into the core jump label code and establish the proper lock order where required. Signed-off-by:

perf, tracing, kprobes and jump_labels have a gazillion of ways to create dependency lock chains. Some of those involve nested invocations of get_online_cpus(). The conversion of the hotplug locking to a percpu rwsem requires to avoid such nested calls. sys_perf_event_open() protects most of the syscall logic against cpu hotplug. This causes nested calls and lock inversions versus ftrace and kprobes in various interesting ways. It's impossible to move the hotplug locking to the outer end of all call chains in the involved facilities, so the hotplug protection in sys_perf_event_open() needs to be solved differently. Introduce 'pmus_mutex' which protects a perf private online cpumask. This mutex is taken when the mask is updated in the cpu hotplug callbacks and can be taken in sys_perf_event_open() to protect the swhash setup/teardown code and when the final judgement about a valid event has to be made.

Converting the hotplug locking, i.e. get_online_cpus(), to a percpu rwsem unearthed a circular lock dependency which was hidden from lockdep due to the lockdep annotation of get_online_cpus() which prevents lockdep from creating full dependency chains. CPU0 CPU1 ---- ---- lock((&wfc.work)); lock(cpu_hotplug_lock.rw_sem); lock((&wfc.work)); lock(cpu_hotplug_lock.rw_sem); This dependency is established via acpi_processor_start() which calls into the work queue code. And the work queue code establishes the reverse dependency. This is not a problem of get_online_cpus() recursion, it's a possible deadlock undetected by lockdep so far. The cure is to use cpu_hotplug_disable() instead of get_online_cpus() to protect the probing from acpi_processor_start(). There is a side effect to this: cpu_hotplug_disable() makes a concurrent cpu hotplug attempt via the sysfs interfaces fail with -EBUSY, but that probing usually happens during the boot process where no interaction is possible. Any later invocations are infrequent enough and concurrent hotplug attempts are so unlikely that the danger of user space visible regressions is very close to zero. Anyway, thats preferrable over a real deadlock. Signed-off-by:Rafael J. Wysocki <rafael.j.wysocki@intel.com> Cc: Paul E.

pci_call_probe() can called recursively when a physcial function is probed and the probing creates virtual functions, which are populated via pci_bus_add_device() which in turn can end up calling pci_call_probe() again. The code has an interesting way to prevent recursing into the workqueue code. That's accomplished by a check whether the current task runs already on the numa node which is associated with the device. While that works to prevent the recursion into the workqueue code, it's racy versus normal execution as there is no guarantee that the node does not vanish after the check. There is another issue with this code. It dereferences cpumask_of_node() unconditionally without checking whether the node is available. Make the detection reliable by: - Mark a probed device as 'is_probed' in pci_call_probe() - Check in pci_call_probe for a virtual function. If it's a virtual function and the associated physical function device is marked 'is_probed' then this is a recursive call, so the call can be invoked in the calling context. - Add a check whether the node is online before dereferencing it.

The code to fetch a 64-bit value from user space was entirely buggered, and has been since the code was merged in early 2016 in commit b2f68038 ("x86/mm/32: Add support for 64-bit __get_user() on 32-bit kernels"). Happily the buggered routine is almost certainly entirely unused, since the normal way to access user space memory is just with the non-inlined "get_user()", and the inlined version didn't even historically exist. The normal "get_user()" case is handled by external hand-written asm in arch/x86/lib/getuser.S that doesn't have either of these issues. There were two independent bugs in __get_user_asm_u64(): - it still did the STAC/CLAC user space access marking, even though that is now done by the wrapper macros, see commit 11f1a4b9 ("x86: reorganize SMAP handling in user space accesses"). This didn't result in a semantic error, it just means that the inlined optimized version was hugely less efficient than the allegedly slower standard version, since the CLAC/STAC overhead is quite high on modern Intel CPU's. - the double register %eax/%edx was marked as an output, but the %eax part of it was touched early in the asm, and could thus clobber other inputs to the asm that gcc didn't expect it to touch. In particular, that meant that the generated code could look like this: mov (%eax),%eax mov 0x4(%eax),%edx where the load of %edx obviously was _supposed_ to be from the 32-bit word that followed the source of %eax, but because %eax was overwritten by the first instruction, the source of %edx was basically random garbage. The fixes are trivial: remove the extraneous STAC/CLAC entries, and mark the 64-bit output as early-clobber to let gcc know that no inputs should alias with the output register.

Al noticed that unsafe_put_user() had type problems, and fixed them in commit a7cc722f ("fix unsafe_put_user()"), which made me look more at those functions. It turns out that unsafe_get_user() had a type issue too: it limited the largest size of the type it could handle to "unsigned long". Which is fine with the current users, but doesn't match our existing normal get_user() semantics, which can also handle "u64" even when that does not fit in a long. While at it, also clean up the type cast in unsafe_put_user(). We actually want to just make it an assignment to the expected type of the pointer, because we actually do want warnings from types that don't convert silently. And it makes the code more readable by not having that one very long and complex line. [ This patch might become stable material if we ever end up back-porting any new users of the unsafe uaccess code, but as things stand now this doesn't matter for any current existing uses. ] Cc: Al Viro <viro@zeniv.linux.org.uk> Signed-off-by:
