printk_deferred(), similarly to printk_safe/printk_nmi, does not immediately attempt to print a new message on the consoles, avoiding calls into non-reentrant kernel paths, e.g. scheduler or timekeeping, which potentially can deadlock the system. Those printk() flavors, instead, rely on per-CPU flush irq_work to print messages from safer contexts. For same reasons (recursive scheduler or timekeeping calls) printk() uses per-CPU irq_work in order to wake up user space syslog/kmsg readers. However, only printk_safe/printk_nmi do make sure that per-CPU areas have been initialised and that it's safe to modify per-CPU irq_work. This means that, for instance, should printk_deferred() be invoked "too early", that is before per-CPU areas are initialised, printk_deferred() will perform illegal per-CPU access. Lech Perczak [0] reports that after commit 1b710b1b ("char/random: silence a lockdep splat with printk()") user-space syslog/kmsg readers are not able to read new kernel messages. The reason is printk_deferred() being called too early (as was pointed out by Petr and John). Fix printk_deferred() and do not queue per-CPU irq_work before per-CPU areas are initialized.

Accurate userfaultfd WP tracking is possible by tracking exactly which virtual memory ranges were writeprotected by userland. We can't relay only on the RW bit of the mapped pagetable because that information is destroyed by fork() or KSM or swap.

The PERF_SAMPLE_CGROUP bit is to save (perf_event) cgroup information in the sample. It will add a 64-bit id to identify current cgroup and it's the file handle in the cgroup file system. Userspace should use this information with PERF_RECORD_CGROUP event to match which cgroup it belongs. I put it before PERF_SAMPLE_AUX for simplicity since it just needs a 64-bit word. But if we want bigger samples, I can work on that direction too.

The cred_guard_mutex is problematic as it is held over possibly indefinite waits for userspace. The possible indefinite waits for userspace that I have identified are: The cred_guard_mutex is held in PTRACE_EVENT_EXIT waiting for the tracer. The cred_guard_mutex is held over "put_user(0, tsk->clear_child_tid)" in exit_mm(). The cred_guard_mutex is held over "get_user(futex_offset, ...") in exit_robust_list. The cred_guard_mutex held over copy_strings. The functions get_user and put_user can trigger a page fault which can potentially wait indefinitely in the case of userfaultfd or if userspace implements part of the page fault path. In any of those cases the userspace process that the kernel is waiting for might make a different system call that winds up taking the cred_guard_mutex and result in deadlock. Holding a mutex over any of those possibly indefinite waits for userspace does not appear necessary. Add exec_update_mutex that will just cover updating the process during exec where the permissions and the objects pointed to by the task struct may be out of sync. The plan is to switch the users of cred_guard_mutex to exec_update_mutex one by one. This lets us move forward while still being careful and not introducing any regressions.

The support for __uint128_t is dependent on the target bit size. GCC that defaults to the 32-bit can still build the 64-bit kernel with -m64 flag passed. However, $(cc-option,-D__SIZEOF_INT128__=0) is evaluated against the default machine bit, which may not match to the kernel it is building. Theoretically, this could be evaluated separately for 64BIT/32BIT. config CC_HAS_INT128 bool default !$(cc-option,$(m64-flag) -D__SIZEOF_INT128__=0) if 64BIT default !$(cc-option,$(m32-flag) -D__SIZEOF_INT128__=0) I simplified it more because the 32-bit compiler is unlikely to support __uint128_t.

Extrapolating on the existing framework to track rt/dl utilization using pelt signals, add a similar mechanism to track thermal pressure. The difference here from rt/dl utilization tracking is that, instead of tracking time spent by a CPU running a RT/DL task through util_avg, the average thermal pressure is tracked through load_avg. This is because thermal pressure signal is weighted time "delta" capacity unlike util_avg which is binary. "delta capacity" here means delta between the actual capacity of a CPU and the decreased capacity a CPU due to a thermal event. In order to track average thermal pressure, a new sched_avg variable avg_thermal is introduced. Function update_thermal_load_avg can be called to do the periodic bookkeeping (accumulate, decay and average) of the thermal pressure. Reviewed-by:

CONFIG_TRIM_UNUSED_KSYMS currently removes all unused exported symbols from ksymtab. This works really well when using in-tree drivers, but cannot be used in its current form if some of them are out-of-tree. Indeed, even if the list of symbols required by out-of-tree drivers is known at compile time, the only solution today to guarantee these don't get trimmed is to set CONFIG_TRIM_UNUSED_KSYMS=n. This not only wastes space, but also makes it difficult to control the ABI usable by vendor modules in distribution kernels such as Android. Being able to control the kernel ABI surface is particularly useful to ship a unique Generic Kernel Image (GKI) for all vendors, which is a first step in the direction of getting all vendors to contribute their code upstream. As such, attempt to improve the situation by enabling users to specify a symbol 'whitelist' at compile time. Any symbol specified in this whitelist will be kept exported when CONFIG_TRIM_UNUSED_KSYMS is set, even if it has no in-tree user. The whitelist is defined as a simple text file, listing symbols, one per line. Acked-by:

Most of the Kconfig commands (except defconfig and all*config) read the .config file as a base set of CONFIG options. When it does not exist, the files in DEFCONFIG_LIST are searched in this order and loaded if found. I do not see much sense in the last two lines in DEFCONFIG_LIST. [1] ARCH_DEFCONFIG The entry for DEFCONFIG_LIST is guarded by 'depends on !UML'. So, the ARCH_DEFCONFIG definition in arch/x86/um/Kconfig is meaningless. arch/{sh,sparc,x86}/Kconfig define ARCH_DEFCONFIG depending on 32 or 64 bit variant symbols. This is a little bit strange; ARCH_DEFCONFIG should be a fixed string because the base config file is loaded before the symbol evaluation stage. Using KBUILD_DEFCONFIG makes more sense because it is fixed before Kconfig is invoked. Fortunately, arch/{sh,sparc,x86}/Makefile define it in the same way, and it works as expected. Hence, replace ARCH_DEFCONFIG with "arch/$(SRCARCH)/configs/$(KBUILD_DEFCONFIG)". [2] arch/$(ARCH)/defconfig This file path is no longer valid. The defconfig files are always located in the arch configs/ directories. $ find arch -name defconfig | sort arch/alpha/configs/defconfig arch/arm64/configs/defconfig arch/csky/configs/defconfig arch/nds32/configs/defconfig arch/riscv/configs/defconfig arch/s390/configs/defconfig arch/unicore32/configs/defconfig The path arch/*/configs/defconfig is already covered by "arch/$(SRCARCH)/configs/$(KBUILD_DEFCONFIG)". So, this file path is not necessary. I moved the default KBUILD_DEFCONFIG to the top Makefile. Otherwise, the 7 architectures listed above would end up with endless loop of syncconfig. Signed-off-by:

The current implementation does a naive search of "bootconfig" on the kernel command line. But this could find "bootconfig" that is part of another option in quotes (although highly unlikely). But it also needs to find '--' on the kernel command line to know if it should append a '--' or not when a bootconfig in the initrd file has an "init" section. The check uses the naive strstr() to find to see if it exists. But this can return a false positive if it exists in an option and then the "init" section in the initrd will not be appended properly. Using parse_args() to find both of these will solve both of these problems.

As the bootconfig is appended to the initrd it is not as easy to modify as the kernel command line. If there's some issue with the kernel, and the developer wants to boot a pristine kernel, it should not be needed to modify the initrd to remove the bootconfig for a single boot. As bootconfig is silently added (if the admin does not know where to look they may not know it's being loaded). It should be explicitly added to the kernel cmdline. The loading of the bootconfig is only done if "bootconfig" is on the kernel command line. This will let admins know that the kernel command line is extended. Note, after adding printk()s for when the size is too great or the checksum is wrong, exposed that the current method always looked for the boot config, and if this size and checksum matched, it would parse it (as if either is wrong a printk has been added to show this). It's better to only check this if the boot config is asked to be looked for. Link: https://lore.kernel.org/r/CAHk-=wjfjO+h6bQzrTf=YCZA53Y3EDyAs3Z4gEsT7icA3u_Psw@mail.gmail.com Acked-by:

Patch series "init/main.c: minor cleanup/bugfix of envvar handling", v2. unknown_bootoption passes unrecognized command line arguments to init as either environment variables or arguments. Some of the logic in the function is broken for quoted command line arguments. When an argument of the form param="value" is processed by parse_args and passed to unknown_bootoption, the command line has param\0"value\0 with val pointing to the beginning of value. The helper function repair_env_string is then used to restore the '=' character that was removed by parse_args, and strip the quotes off fully. This results in param=value\0\0 and val ends up pointing to the 'a' instead of the 'v' in value. This bug was introduced when repair_env_string was refactored into a separate function, and the decrement of val in repair_env_string became dead code. This causes two problems in unknown_bootoption in the two places where the val pointer is used as a substitute for the length of param: 1. An argument of the form param=".value" is misinterpreted as a potential module parameter, with the result that it will not be placed in init's environment. 2. An argument of the form param="value" is checked to see if param is an existing environment variable that should be overwritten, but the comparison is off-by-one and compares 'param=v' instead of 'param=' against the existing environment. So passing, for example, TERM="vt100" on the command line results in init being passed both TERM=linux and TERM=vt100 in its environment. Patch 1 adds logging for the arguments and environment passed to init and is independent of the rest: it can be dropped if this is unnecessarily verbose. Patch 2 removes repair_env_string from initcall parameter parsing in do_initcall_level, as that uses a separate copy of the command line now and the repairing is no longer necessary. Patch 3 fixes the bug in unknown_bootoption by recording the length of param explicitly instead of implying it from val-param. This patch (of 3): Commit a99cd112 ("init: fix bug where environment vars can't be passed via boot args") introduced two minor bugs in unknown_bootoption by factoring out the quoted value handling into a separate function. When value is quoted, repair_env_string will move the value up 1 byte to strip the quotes, so val in unknown_bootoption no longer points to the actual location of the value. The result is that an argument of the form param=".value" is mistakenly treated as a potential module parameter and is not placed in init's environment, and an argument of the form param="value" can result in a duplicate environment variable: eg TERM="vt100" on the command line will result in both TERM=linux and TERM=vt100 being placed into init's environment. Fix this by recording the length of the param before calling repair_env_string instead of relying on val. Link: http://lkml.kernel.org/r/20191212180023.24339-4-nivedita@alum.mit.edu Signed-off-by:

Since commit 08746a65 ("init: fix in-place parameter modification regression"), parse_args in do_initcall_level is called on a copy of saved_command_line. It is unnecessary to call repair_env_string during this parsing, as this copy is not used for anything later. Remove the now unnecessary arguments from repair_env_string as well.

This reverts commit 786b2384 ("um: Enable CONFIG_CONSTRUCTORS"). There are two issues with this commit, uncovered by Anton in tests on some (Debian) systems: 1) I completely forgot to call any constructors if CONFIG_CONSTRUCTORS isn't set. Don't recall now if it just wasn't needed on my system, or if I never tested this case. 2) With that fixed, it works - with CONFIG_CONSTRUCTORS *unset*. If I set CONFIG_CONSTRUCTORS, it fails again, which isn't totally unexpected since whatever wanted to run is likely to have to run before the kernel init etc. that calls the constructors in this case. Basically, some constructors that gcc emits (libc has?) need to run very early during init; the failure mode otherwise was that the ptrace fork test already failed: ---------------------- $ ./linux mem=512M Core dump limits : soft - 0 hard - NONE Checking that ptrace can change system call numbers...check_ptrace : child exited with exitcode 6, while expecting 0; status 0x67f Aborted ---------------------- Thinking more about this, it's clear that we simply cannot support CONFIG_CONSTRUCTORS in UML. All the cases we need now (gcov, kasan) involve not use of the __attribute__((constructor)), but instead some constructor code/entry generated by gcc. Therefore, we cannot distinguish between kernel constructors and system constructors. Thus, revert this commit.

To support time namespaces in the vdso with a minimal impact on regular non time namespace affected tasks, the namespace handling needs to be hidden in a slow path. The most obvious place is vdso_seq_begin(). If a task belongs to a time namespace then the VVAR page which contains the system wide vdso data is replaced with a namespace specific page which has the same layout as the VVAR page. That page has vdso_data->seq set to 1 to enforce the slow path and vdso_data->clock_mode set to VCLOCK_TIMENS to enforce the time namespace handling path. The extra check in the case that vdso_data->seq is odd, e.g. a concurrent update of the vdso data is in progress, is not really affecting regular tasks which are not part of a time namespace as the task is spin waiting for the update to finish and vdso_data->seq to become even again. If a time namespace task hits that code path, it invokes the corresponding time getter function which retrieves the real VVAR page, reads host time and then adds the offset for the requested clock which is stored in the special VVAR page. If VDSO time namespace support is disabled the whole magic is compiled out. Initial testing shows that the disabled case is almost identical to the host case which does not take the slow timens path. With the special timens page installed the performance hit is constant time and in the range of 5-7%. For the vdso functions which are not using the sequence count an unconditional check for vdso_data->clock_mode is added which switches to the real vdso when the clock_mode is VCLOCK_TIMENS. [avagin: Make do_hres_timens() work with raw clocks too: choose vdso_data pointer by CS_RAW offset.] Suggested-by:

Time Namespace isolates clock values. The kernel provides access to several clocks CLOCK_REALTIME, CLOCK_MONOTONIC, CLOCK_BOOTTIME, etc. CLOCK_REALTIME System-wide clock that measures real (i.e., wall-clock) time. CLOCK_MONOTONIC Clock that cannot be set and represents monotonic time since some unspecified starting point. CLOCK_BOOTTIME Identical to CLOCK_MONOTONIC, except it also includes any time that the system is suspended. For many users, the time namespace means the ability to changes date and time in a container (CLOCK_REALTIME). Providing per namespace notions of CLOCK_REALTIME would be complex with a massive overhead, but has a dubious value. But in the context of checkpoint/restore functionality, monotonic and boottime clocks become interesting. Both clocks are monotonic with unspecified starting points. These clocks are widely used to measure time slices and set timers. After restoring or migrating processes, it has to be guaranteed that they never go backward. In an ideal case, the behavior of these clocks should be the same as for a case when a whole system is suspended. All this means that it is required to set CLOCK_MONOTONIC and CLOCK_BOOTTIME clocks, which can be achieved by adding per-namespace offsets for clocks. A time namespace is similar to a pid namespace in the way how it is created: unshare(CLONE_NEWTIME) system call creates a new time namespace, but doesn't set it to the current process. Then all children of the process will be born in the new time namespace, or a process can use the setns() system call to join a namespace. This scheme allows setting clock offsets for a namespace, before any processes appear in it. All available clone flags have been used, so CLONE_NEWTIME uses the highest bit of CSIGNAL. It means that it can be used only with the unshare() and the clone3() system calls. [ tglx: Adjusted paragraph about clone3() to reality and massaged the changelog a bit. ] Co-developed-by:

Commit 96a2b03f ("mm, debug_pagelloc: use static keys to enable debugging") has introduced a static key to reduce overhead when debug_pagealloc is compiled in but not enabled. It relied on the assumption that jump_label_init() is called before parse_early_param() as in start_kernel(), so when the "debug_pagealloc=on" option is parsed, it is safe to enable the static key. However, it turns out multiple architectures call parse_early_param() earlier from their setup_arch(). x86 also calls jump_label_init() even earlier, so no issue was found while testing the commit, but same is not true for e.g. ppc64 and s390 where the kernel would not boot with debug_pagealloc=on as found by our QA. To fix this without tricky changes to init code of multiple architectures, this patch partially reverts the static key conversion from 96a2b03f. Init-time and non-fastpath calls (such as in arch code) of debug_pagealloc_enabled() will again test a simple bool variable. Fastpath mm code is converted to a new debug_pagealloc_enabled_static() variant that relies on the static key, which is enabled in a well-defined point in mm_init() where it's guaranteed that jump_label_init() has been called, regardless of architecture.

Since the current kernel command line is too short to describe many options which supported by kernel, allow user to use boot config to setup (add) the command line options. All kernel parameters under "kernel." keywords will be used for setting up extra kernel command line. For example, kernel { audit = on audit_backlog_limit = 256 } Note that you can not specify some early parameters (like console etc.) by this method, since it is loaded after early parameters parsed.

Extra Boot Config (XBC) allows admin to pass a tree-structured boot configuration file when boot up the kernel. This extends the kernel command line in an efficient way. Boot config will contain some key-value commands, e.g. key.word = value1 another.key.word = value2 It can fold same keys with braces, also you can write array data. For example, key { word1 { setting1 = data setting2 } word2.array = "val1", "val2" } User can access these key-value pair and tree structure via SKC APIs.
