The value of regs->orig_ax contains potentially useful debugging data: For syscalls it contains the syscall number. For interrupts it contains the (negated) vector number. To reduce noise, print it only if it has a useful value (i.e., something other than -1). Here's what it looks like for a write syscall: RIP: 0033:[<00007f53ad7b1940>] 0x7f53ad7b1940 RSP: 002b:00007fff8de66558 EFLAGS: 00000246 ORIG_RAX: 0000000000000001 RAX: ffffffffffffffda RBX: 0000000000000046 RCX: 00007f53ad7b1940 RDX: 0000000000000002 RSI: 00007f53ae0ca000 RDI: 0000000000000001 ...

show_trace_log_lvl() prints the stack id (e.g. "<IRQ>") without a newline so that any stack address printed after it will appear on the same line. That causes the first stack address to be vertically misaligned with the rest, making it visually cluttered and slightly confusing: Call Trace: <IRQ> [<ffffffff814431c3>] dump_stack+0x86/0xc3 [<ffffffff8100828b>] perf_callchain_kernel+0x14b/0x160 [<ffffffff811e915f>] get_perf_callchain+0x15f/0x2b0 ... <EOI> [<ffffffff8189c6c3>] ? _raw_spin_unlock_irq+0x33/0x60 [<ffffffff810e1c84>] finish_task_switch+0xb4/0x250 [<ffffffff8106f7dc>] do_async_page_fault+0x2c/0xa0 It will look worse once we start printing pt_regs registers found in the middle of the stack: <IRQ> RIP: 0010:[<ffffffff8189c6c3>] [<ffffffff8189c6c3>] _raw_spin_unlock_irq+0x33/0x60 RSP: 0018:ffff88007876f720 EFLAGS: 00000206 RAX: ffff8800786caa40 RBX: ffff88007d5da140 RCX: 0000000000000007 ...

The entry code doesn't encode the pt_regs pointer for syscalls. But the pt_regs are always at the same location, so we can add a manual check for them. A later patch prints them as part of the oops stack dump. They could be useful, for example, to determine the arguments to a system call. Signed-off-by:

With frame pointers, when a task is interrupted, its stack is no longer completely reliable because the function could have been interrupted before it had a chance to save the previous frame pointer on the stack. So the caller of the interrupted function could get skipped by a stack trace. This is problematic for live patching, which needs to know whether a stack trace of a sleeping task can be relied upon. There's currently no way to detect if a sleeping task was interrupted by a page fault exception or preemption before it went to sleep. Another issue is that when dumping the stack of an interrupted task, the unwinder has no way of knowing where the saved pt_regs registers are, so it can't print them. This solves those issues by encoding the pt_regs pointer in the frame pointer on entry from an interrupt or an exception. This patch also updates the unwinder to be able to decode it, because otherwise the unwinder would be broken by this change. Note that this causes a change in the behavior of the unwinder: each instance of a pt_regs on the stack is now considered a "frame". So callers of unwind_get_return_address() will now get an occasional 'regs->ip' address that would have previously been skipped over. Suggested-by:

When core_kernel_text() is used to determine whether an address on a task's stack trace is a kernel text address, it incorrectly returns false for early text addresses for the head code between the _text and _stext markers. Among other things, this can cause the unwinder to behave incorrectly when unwinding to x86 head code. Head code is text code too, so mark it as such. This seems to match the intent of other users of the _stext symbol, and it also seems consistent with what other architectures are already doing. Signed-off-by:

Thanks to all the recent x86 entry code refactoring, most tasks' kernel stacks start at the same offset right below their saved pt_regs, regardless of which syscall was used to enter the kernel. That creates a nice convention which makes it straightforward to identify the end of the stack, which can be useful for the unwinder to verify the stack is sane. However, the boot CPU's idle "swapper" task doesn't follow that convention. Fix that by starting its stack at a sizeof(pt_regs) offset from the end of the stack page. Signed-off-by:

The frame at the end of each idle task stack has a zeroed return address. This is inconsistent with real task stacks, which have a real return address at that spot. This inconsistency can be confusing for stack unwinders. It also hides useful information about what asm code was involved in calling into C. Make it a real address by using the side effect of a call instruction to push the instruction pointer on the stack. Signed-off-by:

The frame at the end of each idle task stack is inconsistent with real task stacks, which have a stack frame header and a real return address before the pt_regs area. This inconsistency can be confusing for stack unwinders. It also hides useful information about what asm code was involved in calling into C. Fix that by changing the initial code jumps to calls. Also add infinite loops after the calls to make it clear that the calls don't return, and to hang if they do. Signed-off-by:

That creates a nice convention which makes it straightforward to identify the end of the stack, which can be useful for the unwinder to verify the stack is sane. Calling schedule_tail() directly breaks that convention because its an asmlinkage function so its argument has to be pushed on the stack. Add a wrapper which creates a proper "end of stack" frame header before the call. Signed-off-by:

The 'error_code' label is awkwardly named, especially when it shows up in a stack trace. Move it to its own local function and rename it to 'common_exception', analagous to the existing 'common_interrupt'. This also makes related stack traces more sensible. Signed-off-by:

Add the local label prefix to all non-function named labels in head_32.S and entry_32.S. In addition to decluttering the symbol table, it also will help stack traces to be more sensible. For example, the last reported function in the idle task stack trace will be startup_32_smp() instead of is486(). Signed-off-by:

We have a fairly common pattern where you print several things as continuations on one single line in a loop, and then at the end you do printk(KERN_CONT "\n"); to flush the buffered output. But if the output was flushed by something else (concurrent printk activity, or just system logging), we don't want that final flushing to just print an empty line. So just suppress empty continuation lines when they couldn't be merged into the line they are a continuation of. Signed-off-by:Linus Torvalds <torvalds@linux-foundation.org>

Merge the gup_flags cleanups from Lorenzo Stoakes: "This patch series adjusts functions in the get_user_pages* family such that desired FOLL_* flags are passed as an argument rather than implied by flags. The purpose of this change is to make the use of FOLL_FORCE explicit so it is easier to grep for and clearer to callers that this flag is being used. The use of FOLL_FORCE is an issue as it overrides missing VM_READ/VM_WRITE flags for the VMA whose pages we are reading from/writing to, which can result in surprising behaviour. The patch series came out of the discussion around commit 38e08854 ("mm: check VMA flags to avoid invalid PROT_NONE NUMA balancing"), which addressed a BUG_ON() being triggered when a page was faulted in with PROT_NONE set but having been overridden by FOLL_FORCE. do_numa_page() was run on the assumption the page _must_ be one marked for NUMA node migration as an actual PROT_NONE page would have been dealt with prior to this code path, however FOLL_FORCE introduced a situation where this assumption did not hold. See https://marc.info/?l=linux-mm&m=147585445805166 for the patch proposal" Additionally, there's a fix for an ancient bug related to FOLL_FORCE and FOLL_WRITE by me.

A scheduler performance regression has been reported by Joseph Salisbury, which he bisected back to: 3d30544f ("sched/fair: Apply more PELT fixes) The regression triggers when several levels of task groups are involved (read: SystemD) and cpu_possible_mask != cpu_present_mask. The root cause is that group entity's load (tg_child->se[i]->avg.load_avg) is initialized to scale_load_down(se->load.weight). During the creation of a child task group, its group entities on possible CPUs are attached to parent's cfs_rq (tg_parent) and their loads are added to the parent's load (tg_parent->load_avg) with update_tg_load_avg(). But only the load on online CPUs will then be updated to reflect real load, whereas load on other CPUs will stay at the initial value. The result is a tg_parent->load_avg that is higher than the real load, the weight of group entities (tg_parent->se[i]->load.weight) on online CPUs is smaller than it should be, and the task group gets a less running time than what it could expect. ( This situation can be detected with /proc/sched_debug. The ".tg_load_avg" of the task group will be much higher than sum of ".tg_load_avg_contrib" of online cfs_rqs of the task group. ) The load of group entities don't have to be intialized to something else than 0 because their load will increase when an entity is attached.

This removes the 'write' and 'force' use from get_user_pages_unlocked() and replaces them with 'gup_flags' to make the use of FOLL_FORCE explicit in callers as use of this flag can result in surprising behaviour (and hence bugs) within the mm subsystem. Signed-off-by:

This is an ancient bug that was actually attempted to be fixed once (badly) by me eleven years ago in commit 4ceb5db9 ("Fix get_user_pages() race for write access") but that was then undone due to problems on s390 by commit f33ea7f4 ("fix get_user_pages bug"). In the meantime, the s390 situation has long been fixed, and we can now fix it by checking the pte_dirty() bit properly (and do it better). The s390 dirty bit was implemented in abf09bed ("s390/mm: implement software dirty bits") which made it into v3.9. Earlier kernels will have to look at the page state itself. Also, the VM has become more scalable, and what used a purely theoretical race back then has become easier to trigger. To fix it, we introduce a new internal FOLL_COW flag to mark the "yes, we already did a COW" rather than play racy games with FOLL_WRITE that is very fundamental, and then use the pte dirty flag to validate that the FOLL_COW flag is still valid.
