- Parallel CPU bringup
The reason why people are interested in parallel bringup is to shorten
the (kexec) reboot time of cloud servers to reduce the downtime of the
VM tenants.
The current fully serialized bringup does the following per AP:
1) Prepare callbacks (allocate, intialize, create threads)
2) Kick the AP alive (e.g. INIT/SIPI on x86)
3) Wait for the AP to report alive state
4) Let the AP continue through the atomic bringup
5) Let the AP run the threaded bringup to full online state
There are two significant delays:
#3 The time for an AP to report alive state in start_secondary() on
x86 has been measured in the range between 350us and 3.5ms
depending on vendor and CPU type, BIOS microcode size etc.
#4 The atomic bringup does the microcode update. This has been
measured to take up to ~8ms on the primary threads depending on
the microcode patch size to apply.
On a two socket SKL server with 56 cores (112 threads) the boot CPU
spends on current mainline about 800ms busy waiting for the APs to come
up and apply microcode. That's more than 80% of the actual onlining
procedure.
This can be reduced significantly by splitting the bringup mechanism
into two parts:
1) Run the prepare callbacks and kick the AP alive for each AP which
needs to be brought up.
The APs wake up, do their firmware initialization and run the low
level kernel startup code including microcode loading in parallel
up to the first synchronization point. (#1 and #2 above)
2) Run the rest of the bringup code strictly serialized per CPU
(#3 - #5 above) as it's done today.
Parallelizing that stage of the CPU bringup might be possible in
theory, but it's questionable whether required surgery would be
justified for a pretty small gain.
If the system is large enough the first AP is already waiting at the
first synchronization point when the boot CPU finished the wake-up of
the last AP. That reduces the AP bringup time on that SKL from ~800ms
to ~80ms, i.e. by a factor ~10x.
The actual gain varies wildly depending on the system, CPU, microcode
patch size and other factors. There are some opportunities to reduce
the overhead further, but that needs some deep surgery in the x86 CPU
bringup code.
For now this is only enabled on x86, but the core functionality
obviously works for all SMP capable architectures.
- Enhancements for SMP function call tracing so it is possible to locate
the scheduling and the actual execution points. That allows to measure
IPI delivery time precisely.

Pull splice updates from Jens Axboe:
"This kills off ITER_PIPE to avoid a race between truncate,
iov_iter_revert() on the pipe and an as-yet incomplete DMA to a bio
with unpinned/unref'ed pages from an O_DIRECT splice read. This causes
memory corruption.
Instead, we either use (a) filemap_splice_read(), which invokes the
buffered file reading code and splices from the pagecache into the
pipe; (b) copy_splice_read(), which bulk-allocates a buffer, reads
into it and then pushes the filled pages into the pipe; or (c) handle
it in filesystem-specific code.
Summary:
- Rename direct_splice_read() to copy_splice_read()
- Simplify the calculations for the number of pages to be reclaimed
in copy_splice_read()
- Turn do_splice_to() into a helper, vfs_splice_read(), so that it
can be used by overlayfs and coda to perform the checks on the
lower fs
- Make vfs_splice_read() jump to copy_splice_read() to handle
direct-I/O and DAX
- Provide shmem with its own splice_read to handle non-existent pages
in the pagecache. We don't want a ->read_folio() as we don't want
to populate holes, but filemap_get_pages() requires it
- Provide overlayfs with its own splice_read to call down to a lower
layer as overlayfs doesn't provide ->read_folio()
- Provide coda with its own splice_read to call down to a lower layer
as coda doesn't provide ->read_folio()
- Direct ->splice_read to copy_splice_read() in tty, procfs, kernfs
and random files as they just copy to the output buffer and don't
splice pages
- Provide wrappers for afs, ceph, ecryptfs, ext4, f2fs, nfs, ntfs3,
ocfs2, orangefs, xfs and zonefs to do locking and/or revalidation
- Make cifs use filemap_splice_read()
- Replace pointers to generic_file_splice_read() with pointers to
filemap_splice_read() as DIO and DAX are handled in the caller;
filesystems can still provide their own alternate ->splice_read()
op
- Remove generic_file_splice_read()
- Remove ITER_PIPE and its paraphernalia as generic_file_splice_read
was the only user"

Pull misc vfs updates from Christian Brauner:
"Miscellaneous features, cleanups, and fixes for vfs and individual fs
Features:
- Use mode 0600 for file created by cachefilesd so it can be run by
unprivileged users. This aligns them with directories which are
already created with mode 0700 by cachefilesd
- Reorder a few members in struct file to prevent some false sharing
scenarios
- Indicate that an eventfd is used a semaphore in the eventfd's
fdinfo procfs file
- Add a missing uapi header for eventfd exposing relevant uapi
defines
- Let the VFS protect transitions of a superblock from read-only to
read-write in addition to the protection it already provides for
transitions from read-write to read-only. Protecting read-only to
read-write transitions allows filesystems such as ext4 to perform
internal writes, keeping writers away until the transition is
completed
Cleanups:
- Arnd removed the architecture specific arch_report_meminfo()
prototypes and added a generic one into procfs.h. Note, we got a
report about a warning in amdpgpu codepaths that suggested this was
bisectable to this change but we concluded it was a false positive
- Remove unused parameters from split_fs_names()
- Rename put_and_unmap_page() to unmap_and_put_page() to let the name
reflect the order of the cleanup operation that has to unmap before
the actual put
- Unexport buffer_check_dirty_writeback() as it is not used outside
of block device aops
- Stop allocating aio rings from highmem
- Protecting read-{only,write} transitions in the VFS used open-coded
barriers in various places. Replace them with proper little helpers
and document both the helpers and all barrier interactions involved
when transitioning between read-{only,write} states
- Use flexible array members in old readdir codepaths
Fixes:
- Use the correct type __poll_t for epoll and eventfd
- Replace all deprecated strlcpy() invocations, whose return value
isn't checked with an equivalent strscpy() call
- Fix some kernel-doc warnings in fs/open.c
- Reduce the stack usage in jffs2's xattr codepaths finally getting
rid of this: fs/jffs2/xattr.c:887:1: error: the frame size of 1088
bytes is larger than 1024 bytes [-Werror=frame-larger-than=]
royally annoying compilation warning
- Use __FMODE_NONOTIFY instead of FMODE_NONOTIFY where an int and not
fmode_t is required to avoid fmode_t to integer degradation
warnings
- Create coredumps with O_WRONLY instead of O_RDWR. There's a long
explanation in that commit how O_RDWR is actually a bug which we
found out with the help of Linus and git archeology
- Fix "no previous prototype" warnings in the pipe codepaths
- Add overflow calculations for remap_verify_area() as a signed
addition overflow could be triggered in xfstests
- Fix a null pointer dereference in sysv
- Use an unsigned variable for length calculations in jfs avoiding
compilation warnings with gcc 13
- Fix a dangling pipe pointer in the watch queue codepath
- The legacy mount option parser provided as a fallback by the VFS
for filesystems not yet converted to the new mount api did prefix
the generated mount option string with a leading ',' causing issues
for some filesystems
- Fix a repeated word in a comment in fs.h
- autofs: Update the ctime when mtime is updated as mandated by
POSIX"

Dave Airlie reports that gcc-13.1.1 has started complaining about some
of the workqueue code in 32-bit arm builds:
kernel/workqueue.c: In function ‘get_work_pwq’:
kernel/workqueue.c:713:24: error: cast to pointer from integer of different size [-Werror=int-to-pointer-cast]
713 | return (void *)(data & WORK_STRUCT_WQ_DATA_MASK);
| ^
[ ... a couple of other cases ... ]
and while it's not immediately clear exactly why gcc started complaining
about it now, I suspect it's some C23-induced enum type handlign fixup in
gcc-13 is the cause.
Whatever the reason for starting to complain, the code and data types
are indeed disgusting enough that the complaint is warranted.
The wq code ends up creating various "helper constants" (like that
WORK_STRUCT_WQ_DATA_MASK) using an enum type, which is all kinds of
confused. The mask needs to be 'unsigned long', not some unspecified
enum type.
To make matters worse, the actual "mask and cast to a pointer" is
repeated a couple of times, and the cast isn't even always done to the
right pointer, but - as the error case above - to a 'void *' with then
the compiler finishing the job.
That's now how we roll in the kernel.
So create the masks using the proper types rather than some ambiguous
enumeration, and use a nice helper that actually does the type
conversion in one well-defined place.
Incidentally, this magically makes clang generate better code. That,
admittedly, is really just a sign of clang having been seriously
confused before, and cleaning up the typing unconfuses the compiler too.

For a long time the tick was aligned to clock MONOTONIC so that the tick
event happened at a multiple of nanoseconds per tick starting from clock
MONOTONIC = 0.
At some point this changed as the refined jiffies clocksource which is
used during boot before the TSC or other clocksources becomes usable, was
adjusted with a boot offset, so that time 0 is closer to the point where
the kernel starts.
This broke the assumption in the tick code that when the tick setup
happens early on ktime_get() will return a multiple of nanoseconds per
tick. As a consequence applications which aligned their periodic
execution so that it does not collide with the tick were not longer
guaranteed that the tick period starts from time 0.
The fix for this regression was to realign the tick when it is initially
set up to a multiple of tick periods. That works as long as the
underlying tick device supports periodic mode, but breaks under certain
conditions when the tick device supports only one shot mode.
Depending on the offset, the alignment delta to clock MONOTONIC can get
in a range where the minimal programming delta of the underlying clock
event device is larger than the calculated delta to the next tick. This
results in a boot hang as the tick code tries to play catch up, but as
the tick never fires jiffies are not advanced so it keeps trying for
ever.
Solve this by moving the tick alignement into the NOHZ / HIGHRES
enablement code because at that point it is guaranteed that the
underlying clocksource is high resolution capable and not longer
depending on the tick.
This is far before user space starts, so at the point where applications
try to align their timers, the old behaviour of the tick happening at a
multiple of nanoseconds per tick starting from clock MONOTONIC = 0 is
restored.

We currently allow to create perf link for program with
expected_attach_type == BPF_TRACE_KPROBE_MULTI.
This will cause crash when we call helpers like get_attach_cookie or
get_func_ip in such program, because it will call the kprobe_multi's
version (current->bpf_ctx context setup) of those helpers while it

When building a kernel with LLVM=1, LLVM_IAS=0 and CONFIG_KASAN=y, LLVM
leaves DWARF tags for the "asan.module_ctor" & co symbols. In turn,
pahole creates BTF_KIND_FUNC entries for these and this makes the BTF
metadata validation fail because they contain a dot.
In a dramatic turn of event, this BTF verification failure can cause
the netfilter_bpf initialization to fail, causing netfilter_core to
free the netfilter_helper hashmap and netfilter_ftp to trigger a
use-after-free. The risk of u-a-f in netfilter will be addressed
separately but the existence of "asan.module_ctor" debug info under some
build conditions sounds like a good enough reason to accept functions
that contain dots in BTF.
Although using only LLVM=1 is the recommended way to compile clang-based
kernels, users can certainly do LLVM=1, LLVM_IAS=0 as well and we still
try to support that combination according to Nick. To clarify:
- > v5.10 kernel, LLVM=1 (LLVM_IAS=0 is not the default) is recommended,
but user can still have LLVM=1, LLVM_IAS=0 to trigger the issue
- <= 5.10 kernel, LLVM=1 (LLVM_IAS=0 is the default) is recommended in
which case GNU as will be used

posix_timer_add() tries to allocate a posix timer ID by starting from the
cached ID which was stored by the last successful allocation.
This is done in a loop searching the ID space for a free slot one by
one. The loop has to terminate when the search wrapped around to the
starting point.
But that's racy vs. establishing the starting point. That is read out
lockless, which leads to the following problem:
CPU0 CPU1
posix_timer_add()
start = sig->posix_timer_id;
lock(hash_lock);
... posix_timer_add()
if (++sig->posix_timer_id < 0)
start = sig->posix_timer_id;
sig->posix_timer_id = 0;
So CPU1 can observe a negative start value, i.e. -1, and the loop break
never happens because the condition can never be true:
if (sig->posix_timer_id == start)
break;
While this is unlikely to ever turn into an endless loop as the ID space is
huge (INT_MAX), the racy read of the start value caught the attention of
KCSAN and Dmitry unearthed that incorrectness.
Rewrite it so that all id operations are under the hash lock.

itimer_delete() has a retry loop when the timer is concurrently expired. On

except for posix CPU timers which have HAVE_POSIX_CPU_TIMERS_TASK_WORK
enabled.
In that case and on RT kernels the existing task could live lock when
preempting the task which does the timer delivery.
Replace spin_unlock() with an invocation of timer_wait_running() to handle
it the same way as the other retry loops in the posix timer code.

For NOHZ_FULL CPUs, all IPIs are interference, and those tracepoints are
sufficient to find them and work on getting rid of them. In some setups
however, not *all* IPIs are to be suppressed, but long-running IPI
callbacks can still be problematic.

The tick period is aligned very early while the first clock_event_device is
registered. At that point the system runs in periodic mode and switches
later to one-shot mode if possible.
The next wake-up event is programmed based on the aligned value
(tick_next_period) but the delta value, that is used to program the
clock_event_device, is computed based on ktime_get().
With the subtracted offset, the device fires earlier than the exact time
frame. With a large enough offset the system programs the timer for the
next wake-up and the remaining time left is too small to make any boot
progress. The system hangs.
Move the alignment later to the setup of tick_sched timer. At this point
the system switches to oneshot mode and a high resolution clocksource is
available. At this point it is safe to align tick_next_period because
ktime_get() will now return accurate (not jiffies based) time.

There is a class of interrupt controllers out there that, once they
have signalled a given interrupt number, will still signal incoming
instances of the *same* interrupt despite the original interrupt
not having been EOIed yet.
As long as the new interrupt reaches the *same* CPU, nothing bad
happens, as that CPU still has its interrupts globally disabled,
and we will only take the new interrupt once the interrupt has
been EOIed.
However, things become more "interesting" if an affinity change comes
in while the interrupt is being handled. More specifically, while
the per-irq lock is being dropped. This results in the affinity change
taking place immediately. At this point, there is nothing that prevents
the interrupt from firing on the new target CPU. We end-up with the
interrupt running concurrently on two CPUs, which isn't a good thing.
And that's where things become worse: the new CPU notices that the
interrupt handling is in progress (irq_may_run() return false), and
*drops the interrupt on the floor*.
The whole race looks like this:
CPU 0 | CPU 1
-----------------------------|-----------------------------
interrupt start |
handle_fasteoi_irq | set_affinity(CPU 1)
handler |
... | interrupt start
... | handle_fasteoi_irq -> early out
handle_fasteoi_irq return | interrupt end
interrupt end |
If the interrupt was an edge, too bad. The interrupt is lost, and
the system will eventually die one way or another. Not great.
A way to avoid this situation is to detect this problem at the point
we handle the interrupt on the new target. Instead of dropping the
interrupt, use the resend mechanism to force it to be replayed.
Also, in order to limit the impact of this workaround to the pathetic
architectures that require it, gate it behind a new irq flag aptly
named IRQD_RESEND_WHEN_IN_PROGRESS.

Currently user events need to be manually deleted via the delete IOCTL
call or via the dynamic_events file. Most operators and processes wish
to have these events auto cleanup when they are no longer used by
anything to prevent them piling without manual maintenance. However,
some operators may not want this, such as pre-registering events via the
dynamic_events tracefs file.
Update user_event_put() to attempt an auto delete of the event if it's
the last reference. The auto delete must run in a work queue to ensure
proper behavior of class->reg() invocations that don't expect the call
to go away from underneath them during the unregister. Add work_struct
to user_event struct to ensure we can do this reliably.
Add a persist flag, that is not yet exposed, to ensure we can toggle
between auto-cleanup and leaving the events existing in the future. When
a non-zero flag is seen during register, return -EINVAL to ensure ABI
is clear for the user processes while we work out the best approach for
persistent events.

Various parts of the code today track user_event's refcnt field directly
via a refcount_add/dec. This makes it hard to modify the behavior of the
last reference decrement in all code paths consistently. For example, in
the future we will auto-delete events upon the last reference going
away. This last reference could happen in many places, but we want it to
be consistently handled.
Add user_event_get() and user_event_put() for the add/dec. Update all
places where direct refcounts are being used to utilize these new
functions. In each location pass if event_mutex is locked or not. This
allows us to drop events automatically in future patches clearly. Ensure
when caller states the lock is held, it really is (or is not) held.
