Hardware traces, such as instruction traces, can produce a vast amount of
trace data, so being able to reduce tracing to more specific circumstances
can be useful.
The ability to pause or resume tracing when another event happens, can do
that.
Add ability for an event to "pause" or "resume" AUX area tracing.
Add aux_pause bit to perf_event_attr to indicate that, if the event
happens, the associated AUX area tracing should be paused. Ditto
aux_resume. Do not allow aux_pause and aux_resume to be set together.
Add aux_start_paused bit to perf_event_attr to indicate to an AUX area
event that it should start in a "paused" state.
Add aux_paused to struct hw_perf_event for AUX area events to keep track of
the "paused" state. aux_paused is initialized to aux_start_paused.
Add PERF_EF_PAUSE and PERF_EF_RESUME modes for ->stop() and ->start()
callbacks. Call as needed, during __perf_event_output(). Add
aux_in_pause_resume to struct perf_buffer to prevent races with the NMI
handler. Pause/resume in NMI context will miss out if it coincides with
another pause/resume.
To use aux_pause or aux_resume, an event must be in a group with the AUX
area event as the group leader.
Example (requires Intel PT and tools patches also):
$ perf record --kcore -e intel_pt/aux-action=start-paused/k,syscalls:sys_enter_newuname/aux-action=resume/,syscalls:sys_exit_newuname/aux-action=pause/ uname

Avoid taking refcount on uprobe in prepare_uretprobe(), instead take
uretprobe-specific SRCU lock and keep it active as kernel transfers
control back to user space.
Given we can't rely on user space returning from traced function within
reasonable time period, we need to make sure not to keep SRCU lock
active for too long, though. To that effect, we employ a timer callback
which is meant to terminate SRCU lock region after predefined timeout
(currently set to 100ms), and instead transfer underlying struct
uprobe's lifetime protection to refcounting.
This fallback to less scalable refcounting after 100ms is a fine
tradeoff from uretprobe's scalability and performance perspective,
because uretprobing *long running* user functions inherently doesn't run
into scalability issues (there is just not enough frequency to cause
noticeable issues with either performance or scalability).
The overall trick is in ensuring synchronization between current thread
and timer's callback fired on some other thread. To cope with that with
minimal logic complications, we add hprobe wrapper which is used to
contain all the synchronization related issues behind a small number of
basic helpers: hprobe_expire() for "downgrading" uprobe from SRCU-protected
state to refcounted state, and a hprobe_consume() and hprobe_finalize()
pair of single-use consuming helpers. Other than that, whatever current
thread's logic is there stays the same, as timer thread cannot modify
return_instance state (or add new/remove old return_instances). It only
takes care of SRCU unlock and uprobe refcounting, which is hidden from
the higher-level uretprobe handling logic.
We use atomic xchg() in hprobe_consume(), which is called from
performance critical handle_uretprobe_chain() function run in the
current context. When uncontended, this xchg() doesn't seem to hurt
performance as there are no other competing CPUs fighting for the same
cache line. We also mark struct return_instance as ____cacheline_aligned
to ensure no false sharing can happen.
Another technical moment. We need to make sure that the list of return
instances can be safely traversed under RCU from timer callback, so we
delay return_instance freeing with kfree_rcu() and make sure that list
modifications use RCU-aware operations.
Also, given SRCU lock survives transition from kernel to user space and
back we need to use lower-level __srcu_read_lock() and
__srcu_read_unlock() to avoid lockdep complaining.
Just to give an impression of a kind of performance improvements this
change brings, below are benchmarking results with and without these
SRCU changes, assuming other uprobe optimizations (mainly RCU Tasks
Trace for entry uprobes, lockless RB-tree lookup, and lockless VMA to

Currently put_uprobe() might trigger mutex_lock()/mutex_unlock(), which
makes it unsuitable to be called from more restricted context like softirq.
Let's make put_uprobe() agnostic to the context in which it is called,
and use work queue to defer the mutex-protected clean up steps.
RB tree removal step is also moved into work-deferred callback to avoid
potential deadlock between softirq-based timer callback, added in the
next patch, and the rest of uprobe code.
We can rework locking altogher as a follow up, but that's significantly
more tricky, so warrants its own patch set. For now, we need to make
sure that changes in the next patch that add timer thread work correctly
with existing approach, while concentrating on SRCU + timeout logic.

This change allows the uprobe consumer to behave as session which
means that 'handler' and 'ret_handler' callbacks are connected in
a way that allows to:
- control execution of 'ret_handler' from 'handler' callback
- share data between 'handler' and 'ret_handler' callbacks
The session concept fits to our common use case where we do filtering
on entry uprobe and based on the result we decide to run the return
uprobe (or not).
It's also convenient to share the data between session callbacks.
To achive this we are adding new return value the uprobe consumer
can return from 'handler' callback:
UPROBE_HANDLER_IGNORE
- Ignore 'ret_handler' callback for this consumer.
And store cookie and pass it to 'ret_handler' when consumer has both
'handler' and 'ret_handler' callbacks defined.
We store shared data in the return_consumer object array as part of
the return_instance object. This way the handle_uretprobe_chain can
find related return_consumer and its shared data.
We also store entry handler return value, for cases when there are
multiple consumers on single uprobe and some of them are ignored and
some of them not, in which case the return probe gets installed and
we need to have a way to find out which consumer needs to be ignored.
The tricky part is when consumer is registered 'after' the uprobe
entry handler is hit. In such case this consumer's 'ret_handler' gets
executed as well, but it won't have the proper data pointer set,
so we can filter it out.

Pull tracing fixes from Steven Rostedt:
- Fix tp_printk command line option crashing the kernel
With the code that can handle a buffer from a previous boot, the
trace_check_vprintf() needed access to the delta of the address space
used by the old buffer and the current buffer. To do so, the
trace_array (tr) parameter was used. But when tp_printk is enabled on
the kernel command line, no trace buffer is used and the trace event
is sent directly to printk(). That meant the tr field of the iterator
descriptor was NULL, and since tp_printk still uses
trace_check_vprintf() it caused a NULL dereference.
- Add ptrace.h include to x86 ftrace file for completeness
- Fix rtla installation when done with out-of-tree build
- Fix the help messages in rtla that were incorrect
- Several fixes to fix races with the timerlat and hwlat code
Several locking issues were discovered with the coordination between
timerlat kthread creation and hotplug. As timerlat has callbacks from
hotplug code to start kthreads when CPUs come online. There are also
locking issues with grabbing the cpu_read_lock() and the locks within
timerlat.

Brandon reports sporadic, non-sensical spikes in cumulative pressure
time (total=) when reading cpu.pressure at a high rate. This is due to
a race condition between reader aggregation and tasks changing states.
While it affects all states and all resources captured by PSI, in
practice it most likely triggers with CPU pressure, since scheduling
events are so frequent compared to other resource events.
The race context is the live snooping of ongoing stalls during a
pressure read. The read aggregates per-cpu records for stalls that
have concluded, but will also incorporate ad-hoc the duration of any
active state that hasn't been recorded yet. This is important to get
timely measurements of ongoing stalls. Those ad-hoc samples are
calculated on-the-fly up to the current time on that CPU; since the
stall hasn't concluded, it's expected that this is the minimum amount
of stall time that will enter the per-cpu records once it does.
The problem is that the path that concludes the state uses a CPU clock
read that is not synchronized against aggregators; the clock is read
outside of the seqlock protection. This allows aggregators to race and
snoop a stall with a longer duration than will actually be recorded.
With the recorded stall time being less than the last snapshot
remembered by the aggregator, a subsequent sample will underflow and
observe a bogus delta value, resulting in an erratic jump in pressure.
Fix this by moving the clock read of the state change into the seqlock
protection. This ensures no aggregation can snoop live stalls past the
time that's recorded when the state concludes.

After tracing the scheduling event, it was discovered that the migration
of the "timerlat/1" thread was performed during thread creation. Further
analysis confirmed that it is because the CPU online processing for
osnoise is implemented through workers, which is asynchronous with the
offline processing. When the worker was scheduled to create a thread, the
CPU may has already been removed from the cpu_online_mask during the offline
process, resulting in the inability to select the right CPU:
T1 | T2

| takedown_cpu(1)
| cpus_write_unlock()

To fix this, skip online processing if the CPU is already offline.

commit 5bfbcd1ee5 ("tracing/timerlat: Add interface_lock around clearing
of kthread in stop_kthread()"), the following ABBA deadlock scenario is
introduced:
T1 | T2 [BP] | T3 [AP]
osnoise_hotplug_workfn() | work_for_cpu_fn() | cpuhp_thread_fun()
| _cpu_down() | osnoise_cpu_die()
mutex_lock(&interface_lock) | | stop_kthread()
| cpus_write_lock() | mutex_lock(&interface_lock)
cpus_read_lock() | cpuhp_kick_ap() |
As the interface_lock here in just for protecting the "kthread" field of
the osn_var, use xchg() instead to fix this issue. Also use
for_each_online_cpu() back in stop_per_cpu_kthreads() as it can take
cpu_read_lock() again.

When the tp_printk kernel command line is used, the trace events go
directly to printk(). It is still checked via the trace_check_vprintf()
function to make sure the pointers of the trace event are legit.
The addition of reading buffers from previous boots required adding a
delta between the addresses of the previous boot and the current boot so
that the pointers in the old buffer can still be used. But this required
adding a trace_array pointer to acquire the delta offsets.
The tp_printk code does not provide a trace_array (tr) pointer, so when
the offsets were examined, a NULL pointer dereference happened and the
kernel crashed.
If the trace_array does not exist, just default the delta offsets to zero,
as that also means the trace event is not being read from a previous boot.

Pull sched_ext fixes from Tejun Heo:
- When sched_ext is in bypass mode (e.g. while disabling the BPF
scheduler), it was using one DSQ to implement global FIFO scheduling
as all it has to do is guaranteeing reasonable forward progress.
On multi-socket machines, this can lead to live-lock conditions under
certain workloads. Fixed by splitting the queue used for FIFO
scheduling per NUMA node. This required several preparation patches.
- Hotplug tests on powerpc could reliably trigger deadlock while
enabling a BPF scheduler.
This was caused by cpu_hotplug_lock nesting inside scx_fork_rwsem and
then CPU hotplug path trying to fork a new thread while holding
cpu_hotplug_lock.
Fixed by restructuring locking in enable and disable paths so that
the two locks are not coupled. This required several preparation
patches which also fixed a couple other issues in the enable path.

Cloning a descriptor table picks the size that would cover all currently
opened files. That's fine for clone() and unshare(), but for close_range()
there's an additional twist - we clone before we close, and it would be
a shame to have
close_range(3, ~0U, CLOSE_RANGE_UNSHARE)
leave us with a huge descriptor table when we are not going to keep
anything past stderr, just because some large file descriptor used to
be open before our call has taken it out.
Unfortunately, it had been dealt with in an inherently racy way -
sane_fdtable_size() gets a "don't copy anything past that" argument
(passed via unshare_fd() and dup_fd()), close_range() decides how much
should be trimmed and passes that to unshare_fd().
The problem is, a range that used to extend to the end of descriptor
table back when close_range() had looked at it might very well have stuff
grown after it by the time dup_fd() has allocated a new files_struct
and started to figure out the capacity of fdtable to be attached to that.
That leads to interesting pathological cases; at the very least it's a
QoI issue, since unshare(CLONE_FILES) is atomic in a sense that it takes
a snapshot of descriptor table one might have observed at some point.
Since CLOSE_RANGE_UNSHARE close_range() is supposed to be a combination
of unshare(CLONE_FILES) with plain close_range(), ending up with a
weird state that would never occur with unshare(2) is confusing, to put
it mildly.
It's not hard to get rid of - all it takes is passing both ends of the
range down to sane_fdtable_size(). There we are under ->files_lock,
so the race is trivially avoided.
So we do the following:
* switch close_files() from calling unshare_fd() to calling
dup_fd().
* undo the calling convention change done to unshare_fd() in
60997c3d45 "close_range: add CLOSE_RANGE_UNSHARE"
* introduce struct fd_range, pass a pointer to that to dup_fd()
and sane_fdtable_size() instead of "trim everything past that point"
they are currently getting. NULL means "we are not going to be punching
any holes"; NR_OPEN_MAX is gone.
* make sane_fdtable_size() use find_last_bit() instead of
open-coding it; it's easier to follow that way.
* while we are at it, have dup_fd() report errors by returning
ERR_PTR(), no need to use a separate int *errorp argument.

The enable path uses three big locks - scx_fork_rwsem, scx_cgroup_rwsem and
cpus_read_lock. Currently, the locks are grabbed together which is prone to
locking order problems.
For example, currently, there is a possible deadlock involving
scx_fork_rwsem and cpus_read_lock. cpus_read_lock has to nest inside
scx_fork_rwsem due to locking order existing in other subsystems. However,
there exists a dependency in the other direction during hotplug if hotplug
needs to fork a new task, which happens in some cases. This leads to the
following deadlock:
scx_ops_enable() hotplug
percpu_down_write(&cpu_hotplug_lock)
percpu_down_write(&scx_fork_rwsem)
block on cpu_hotplug_lock
kthread_create() waits for kthreadd
kthreadd blocks on scx_fork_rwsem
Note that this doesn't trigger lockdep because the hotplug side dependency
bounces through kthreadd.
With the preceding scx_cgroup_enabled change, this can be solved by
decoupling cpus_read_lock, which is needed for static_key manipulations,
from the other two locks.
- Move the first block of static_key manipulations outside of scx_fork_rwsem
and scx_cgroup_rwsem. This is now safe with the preceding
scx_cgroup_enabled change.
- Drop scx_cgroup_rwsem and scx_fork_rwsem between the two task iteration
blocks so that __scx_ops_enabled static_key enabling is outside the two
rwsems.

The disable path uses three big locks - scx_fork_rwsem, scx_cgroup_rwsem and
cpus_read_lock. Currently, the locks are grabbed together which is prone to
locking order problems. With the preceding scx_cgroup_enabled change, we can
decouple them:
- As cgroup disabling no longer requires modifying a static_key which
requires cpus_read_lock(), no need to grab cpus_read_lock() before
grabbing scx_cgroup_rwsem.
- cgroup can now be independently disabled before tasks are moved back to
the fair class.
Relocate scx_cgroup_exit() invocation before scx_fork_rwsem is grabbed, drop
now unnecessary cpus_read_lock() and move static_key operations out of
scx_fork_rwsem. This decouples all three locks in the disable path.

If the BPF scheduler does not implement ops.cgroup_init(), scx_tg_online()
didn't set SCX_TG_INITED which meant that ops.cgroup_exit(), even if
implemented, won't be called from scx_tg_offline(). This is because
SCX_HAS_OP(cgroupt_init) is used to test both whether SCX cgroup operations
are enabled and ops.cgroup_init() exists.
Fix it by introducing a separate bool scx_cgroup_enabled to gate cgroup
operations and use SCX_HAS_OP(cgroup_init) only to test whether
ops.cgroup_init() exists. Make all cgroup operations consistently use
scx_cgroup_enabled to test whether cgroup operations are enabled.
scx_cgroup_enabled is added instead of using scx_enabled() to ease planned
locking updates.

scx_ops_init_task() and the follow-up scx_ops_enable_task() in the fork path
were gated by scx_enabled() test and thus __scx_ops_enabled had to be turned
on before the first scx_ops_init_task() loop in scx_ops_enable(). However,
if an external entity causes sched_class switch before the loop is complete,
tasks which are not initialized could be switched to SCX.
The following can be reproduced by running a program which keeps toggling a
process between SCHED_OTHER and SCHED_EXT using sched_setscheduler(2).

scx_ops_enable() has two task iteration loops. The first one calls
scx_ops_init_task() on every task and the latter switches the eligible ones
into SCX. The first loop left the tasks in SCX_TASK_INIT state and then the
second loop switched it into READY before switching the task into SCX.
The distinction between INIT and READY is only meaningful in the fork path
where it's used to tell whether the task finished forking so that we can
tell ops.exit_task() accordingly. Leaving task in INIT state between the two
loops is incosistent with the fork path and incorrect. The following can be
triggered by running a program which keeps toggling a task between
SCHED_OTHER and SCHED_SCX while enabling a task:

scx_ops_enable() used preempt_disable() around the task iteration loop to
switch tasks into SCX to guarantee forward progress of the task which is
running scx_ops_enable(). However, in the gap between setting
__scx_ops_enabled and preeempt_disable(), an external entity can put tasks
including the enabling one into SCX prematurely, which can lead to
malfunctions including stalls.
The bypass mode can wrap the entire enabling operation and guarantee forward
progress no matter what the BPF scheduler does. Use the bypass mode instead
to guarantee forward progress while enabling.
While at it, release and regrab scx_tasks_lock between the two task
iteration locks in scx_ops_enable() for clarity as there is no reason to
keep holding the lock between them.

check_hotplug_seq() is used to detect CPU hotplug event which occurred while
the BPF scheduler is being loaded so that initialization can be retried if
CPU hotplug events take place before the CPU hotplug callbacks are online.
As such, the best place to call it is in the same cpu_read_lock() section
that enables the CPU hotplug ops. Currently, it is called in the next
cpus_read_lock() block in scx_ops_enable(). The side effect of this
placement is a small window in which hotplug sequence detection can trigger
unnecessarily, which isn't critical.
Move check_hotplug_seq() invocation to the same cpus_read_lock() block as
the hotplug operation enablement to close the window and get the invocation
out of the way for planned locking updates.

In the bypass mode, the global DSQ is used to schedule all tasks in simple
FIFO order. All tasks are queued into the global DSQ and all CPUs try to
execute tasks from it. This creates a lot of cross-node cacheline accesses
and scheduling across the node boundaries, and can lead to live-lock
conditions where the system takes tens of minutes to disable the BPF
scheduler while executing in the bypass mode.
Split the global DSQ per NUMA node. Each node has its own global DSQ. When a
task is dispatched to SCX_DSQ_GLOBAL, it's put into the global DSQ local to
the task's CPU and all CPUs in a node only consume its node-local global
DSQ.
This resolves a livelock condition which could be reliably triggered on an
2x EPYC 7642 system by running `stress-ng --race-sched 1024` together with
`stress-ng --workload 80 --workload-threads 10` while repeatedly enabling
and disabling a SCX scheduler.

SCX_DSQ_GLOBAL is special in that it can't be used as a priority queue and

SCX_DSQ_GLOBAL will be split per-node for scalability and those operations
won't make sense anymore. Disallow SCX_DSQ_GLOBAL on scx_bpf_consume(),
scx_bpf_dsq_nr_queued() and bpf_iter_scx_dsq_new(). This means that
SCX_DSQ_GLOBAL can only be used as a dispatch target from BPF schedulers.
With scx_flatcg, which was using SCX_DSQ_GLOBAL as the fallback DSQ,
updated, this shouldn't affect any schedulers.
This leaves find_dsq_for_dispatch() the only user of find_non_local_dsq().
