In recent tests with IRQ on/off tracepoints, a large performance overhead ~10% is noticed when running hackbench. This is root caused to calls to rcu_irq_enter_irqson and rcu_irq_exit_irqson from the tracepoint code. Following a long discussion on the list [1] about this, we concluded that srcu is a better alternative for use during rcu idle. Although it does involve extra barriers, its lighter than the sched-rcu version which has to do additional RCU calls to notify RCU idle about entry into RCU sections. In this patch, we change the underlying implementation of the trace_*_rcuidle API to use SRCU. This has shown to improve performance alot for the high frequency irq enable/disable tracepoints. Test: Tested idle and preempt/irq tracepoints. Here are some performance numbers: With a run of the following 30 times on a single core x86 Qemu instance with 1GB memory: hackbench -g 4 -f 2 -l 3000 Completion times in seconds.

get_cpu_var disables preemption which has the potential to call into the preemption disable trace points causing some complications. There's also no need to disable preemption in uses of get_lock_stats anyway since preempt is already disabled. So lets simplify the code.

Prohibit kprobe-events probing on notrace functions. Since probing on a notrace function can cause a recursive event call. In most cases those are just skipped, but in some cases it falls into an infinite recursive call. This protection can be disabled by the kconfig CONFIG_KPROBE_EVENTS_ON_NOTRACE=y, but it is highly recommended to keep it "n" for normal kernel builds. Note that this is only available if "kprobes on ftrace" has been implemented on the target arch and CONFIG_KPROBES_ON_FTRACE=y.

Here we introduce a test module for introducing a long preempt or irq disable delay in the kernel which the preemptoff or irqsoff tracers can detect. This module is to be used only for test purposes and is default disabled. Following is the expected output (only briefly shown) that can be parsed to verify that the tracers are working correctly. We will use this from the kselftests in future patches.

In the last patch in this series, we are making lockdep register hooks onto the irq_{disable,enable} tracepoints. These tracepoints use the _rcuidle tracepoint variant. In this series we switch the _rcuidle tracepoint callers to use SRCU instead of sched-RCU. Inorder to dereference the pointer to the probe functions, we could call srcu_dereference, however this API will call back into lockdep to check if the lock is held *before* the lockdep probe hooks have a chance to run and annotate the IRQ enabled/disabled state. For this reason we need a notrace variant of srcu_dereference since otherwise we get lockdep splats. This patch adds the needed srcu_dereference_notrace variant.

This is needed for a future tracepoint patch that uses srcu, and to make sure it doesn't call into lockdep. tracepoint code already calls notrace variants for rcu_read_lock_sched so this patch does the same for srcu which will be used in a later patch. Keeps it consistent with rcu-sched. [Joel: Added commit message] Link: http://lkml.kernel.org/r/20180628182149.226164-2-joel@joelfernandes.orgReviewed-by:

There is a window for racing when printing directly to task->comm, allowing other threads to see a non-terminated string. The vsnprintf function fills the buffer, counts the truncated chars, then finally writes the \0 at the end. creator other vsnprintf: fill (not terminated) count the rest trace_sched_waking(p): ... memcpy(comm, p->comm, TASK_COMM_LEN) write \0 The consequences depend on how 'other' uses the string. In our case, it was copied into the tracing system's saved cmdlines, a buffer of adjacent TASK_COMM_LEN-byte buffers (note the 'n' where 0 should be): crash-arm64> x/1024s savedcmd->saved_cmdlines | grep 'evenk' 0xffffffd5b3818640: "irq/497-pwr_evenkworker/u16:12" ...and a strcpy out of there would cause stack corruption: [224761.522292] Kernel panic - not syncing: stack-protector: Kernel stack is corrupted in: ffffff9bf9783c78 crash-arm64> kbt | grep 'comm\|trace_print_context' #6 0xffffff9bf9783c78 in trace_print_context+0x18c(+396) comm (char [16]) = "irq/497-pwr_even" crash-arm64> rd 0xffffffd4d0e17d14 8 ffffffd4d0e17d14: 2f71726900000000 5f7277702d373934 ....irq/497-pwr_ ffffffd4d0e17d24: 726f776b6e657665 3a3631752f72656b evenkworker/u16: ffffffd4d0e17d34: f9780248ff003231 cede60e0ffffff9b 12..H.x......`.. ffffffd4d0e17d44: cede60c8ffffffd4 00000fffffffffd4 .....`.......... The workaround in e09e2867 (use strlcpy in __trace_find_cmdline) was likely needed because of this same bug. Solved by vsnprintf:ing to a local buffer, then using set_task_comm(). This way, there won't be a window where comm is not terminated.

There was a case that triggered a double free in event_trigger_callback() due to the called reg() function freeing the trigger_data and then it getting freed again by the error return by the caller. The solution there was to up the trigger_data ref count. Code inspection found that event_enable_trigger_func() has the same issue, but is not as easy to trigger (requires harder to trigger failures). It needs to be solved slightly different as it needs more to clean up when the reg() function fails.

If enable_trace_kprobe fails to enable the probe in enable_k(ret)probe it returns an error, but does not unset the tp flags it set previously. This results in a probe being considered enabled and failures like being unable to remove the probe through kprobe_events file since probes_open() expects every probe to be disabled.

Maintain the tracing on/off setting of the ring_buffer when switching to the trace buffer snapshot. Taking a snapshot is done by swapping the backup ring buffer (max_tr_buffer). But since the tracing on/off setting is defined by the ring buffer, when swapping it, the tracing on/off setting can also be changed. This causes a strange result like below: /sys/kernel/debug/tracing # cat tracing_on 1 /sys/kernel/debug/tracing # echo 0 > tracing_on /sys/kernel/debug/tracing # cat tracing_on 0 /sys/kernel/debug/tracing # echo 1 > snapshot /sys/kernel/debug/tracing # cat tracing_on 1 /sys/kernel/debug/tracing # echo 1 > snapshot /sys/kernel/debug/tracing # cat tracing_on 0 We don't touch tracing_on, but snapshot changes tracing_on setting each time. This is an anomaly, because user doesn't know that each "ring_buffer" stores its own tracing-enable state and the snapshot is done by swapping ring buffers.

Then on return to the function that called register_snapshot_trigger(), as it sees it failed to register, it frees the trigger_data again and causes a double free. By calling event_trigger_init() on the trigger_data (which only ups the reference counter for it), and then event_trigger_free() afterward, the trigger_data would not get freed by the registering trigger function as it would only up and lower the ref count for it. If the register trigger function fails, then the event_trigger_free() called after it will free the trigger data normally.

Like vm_area_dup(), it initializes the anon_vma_chain head, and the basic mm pointer. The rest of the fields end up being different for different users, although the plan is to also initialize the 'vm_ops' field to a dummy entry. Signed-off-by: -

.. and re-initialize th eanon_vma_chain head. This removes some boiler-plate from the users, and also makes it clear why it didn't need use the 'zalloc()' version. Signed-off-by: -

The vm_area_struct is one of the most fundamental memory management objects, but the management of it is entirely open-coded evertwhere, ranging from allocation and freeing (using kmem_cache_[z]alloc and kmem_cache_free) to initializing all the fields. We want to unify this in order to end up having some unified initialization of the vmas, and the first step to this is to at least have basic allocation functions. Right now those functions are literally just wrappers around the kmem_cache_*() calls. This is a purely mechanical conversion: # new vma: kmem_cache_zalloc(vm_area_cachep, GFP_KERNEL) -> vm_area_alloc() # copy old vma kmem_cache_alloc(vm_area_cachep, GFP_KERNEL) -> vm_area_dup(old) # free vma kmem_cache_free(vm_area_cachep, vma) -> vm_area_free(vma) to the point where the old vma passed in to the vm_area_dup() function isn't even used yet (because I've left all the old manual initialization alone).

It was reported that a kernel crash happened in mem_cgroup_iter(), which can be triggered if the legacy cgroup-v1 non-hierarchical mode is used. Unable to handle kernel paging request at virtual address 6b6b6b6b6b6b8f ...... Call trace: mem_cgroup_iter+0x2e0/0x6d4 shrink_zone+0x8c/0x324 balance_pgdat+0x450/0x640 kswapd+0x130/0x4b8 kthread+0xe8/0xfc ret_from_fork+0x10/0x20 mem_cgroup_iter(): ...... if (css_tryget(css)) <-- crash here break; ...... The crashing reason is that mem_cgroup_iter() uses the memcg object whose pointer is stored in iter->position, which has been freed before and filled with POISON_FREE(0x6b). And the root cause of the use-after-free issue is that invalidate_reclaim_iterators() fails to reset the value of iter->position to NULL when the css of the memcg is released in non- hierarchical mode.

__split_huge_pmd_locked() must check if the cleared huge pmd was dirty, and propagate that to PageDirty: otherwise, data may be lost when a huge tmpfs page is modified then split then reclaimed. How has this taken so long to be noticed? Because there was no problem when the huge page is written by a write system call (shmem_write_end() calls set_page_dirty()), nor when the page is allocated for a write fault (fault_dirty_shared_page() calls set_page_dirty()); but when allocated for a read fault (which MAP_POPULATE simulates), no set_page_dirty().

In parse_options(), if match_strdup() failed, parse_options() leaves opts->iocharset in unexpected state (i.e. still pointing the freed string). And this can be the cause of double free. To fix, this initialize opts->iocharset always when freeing. Link: http://lkml.kernel.org/r/8736wp9dzc.fsf@mail.parknet.co.jpSigned-off-by:
