Pull perf updates from Ingo Molnar:
"The main updates in this cycle were:
- Lots of perf tooling changes too voluminous to list (big perf trace
and perf stat improvements, lots of libtraceevent reorganization,
etc.), so I'll list the authors and refer to the changelog for
details:
Benjamin Peterson, Jérémie Galarneau, Kim Phillips, Peter
Zijlstra, Ravi Bangoria, Sangwon Hong, Sean V Kelley, Steven
Rostedt, Thomas Gleixner, Ding Xiang, Eduardo Habkost, Thomas
Richter, Andi Kleen, Sanskriti Sharma, Adrian Hunter, Tzvetomir
Stoyanov, Arnaldo Carvalho de Melo, Jiri Olsa.
... with the bulk of the changes written by Jiri Olsa, Tzvetomir
Stoyanov and Arnaldo Carvalho de Melo.
- Continued intel_rdt work with a focus on playing well with perf
events. This also imported some non-perf RDT work due to
dependencies. (Reinette Chatre)
- Implement counter freezing for Arch Perfmon v4 (Skylake and newer).
This allows to speed up the PMI handler by avoiding unnecessary MSR
writes and make it more accurate. (Andi Kleen)

Pull RCU updates from Ingo Molnar:
"The biggest change in this cycle is the conclusion of the big
'simplify RCU to two primary flavors' consolidation work - i.e.
there's a single RCU flavor for any kernel variant (PREEMPT and
!PREEMPT):
- Consolidate the RCU-bh, RCU-preempt, and RCU-sched flavors into a
single flavor similar to RCU-sched in !PREEMPT kernels and into a
single flavor similar to RCU-preempt (but also waiting on
preempt-disabled sequences of code) in PREEMPT kernels.
This branch also includes a refactoring of
rcu_{nmi,irq}_{enter,exit}() from Byungchul Park.
- Now that there is only one RCU flavor in any given running kernel,
the many "rsp" pointers are no longer required, and this cleanup
series removes them.
- This branch carries out additional cleanups made possible by the
RCU flavor consolidation, including inlining now-trivial
functions, updating comments and definitions, and removing
now-unneeded rcutorture scenarios.
- Now that there is only one flavor of RCU in any running kernel,
there is also only on rcu_data structure per CPU. This means that
the rcu_dynticks structure can be merged into the rcu_data
structure, a task taken on by this branch. This branch also
contains a -rt-related fix from Mike Galbraith.
There were also other updates:
- Documentation updates, including some good-eye catches from Joel
Fernandes.
- SRCU updates, most notably changes enabling call_srcu() to be
invoked very early in the boot sequence.
- Torture-test updates, including some preliminary work towards
making rcutorture better able to find problems that result in
insufficient grace-period forward progress.
- Initial changes to RCU to better promote forward progress of grace
periods, including fixing a bug found by Marius Hillenbrand and
David Woodhouse, with the fix suggested by Peter Zijlstra"

User mode helpers were spawned without a command line, and because
an empty command line is used by many tools to identify processes as
kernel threads, this could cause some issues.
Notably during killing spree on shutdown, since such helper would then
be skipped (i.e. not killed) which would result in the process remaining
alive, and thus preventing unmouting of the rootfs (as experienced with
the bpfilter umh).

cpu_startup_entry()
The following commit:
d7880812b359 ("idle: Add the stack canary init to cpu_startup_entry()")
... added an x86 specific boot_init_stack_canary() call to the generic
cpu_startup_entry() as a temporary hack, with the intention to remove
the #ifdef CONFIG_X86 later.
More than 5 years later let's finally realize that plan! :-)
While implementing stack protector support for PowerPC, we found
that calling boot_init_stack_canary() is also needed for PowerPC
which uses per task (TLS) stack canary like the X86.
However, calling boot_init_stack_canary() would break architectures
using a global stack canary (ARM, SH, MIPS and XTENSA).
Instead of modifying the #ifdef CONFIG_X86 to an even messier:
#if defined(CONFIG_X86) || defined(CONFIG_PPC)
PowerPC implemented the call to boot_init_stack_canary() in the function
calling cpu_startup_entry().
Let's try the same cleanup on the x86 side as well.
On x86 we have two functions calling cpu_startup_entry():
- start_secondary()
- cpu_bringup_and_idle()
start_secondary() already calls boot_init_stack_canary(), so
it's good, and this patch adds the call to boot_init_stack_canary()
in cpu_bringup_and_idle().
I.e. now x86 catches up to the rest of the world and the ugly init
sequence in init/main.c can be removed from cpu_startup_entry().
As a final benefit we can also remove the <linux/stackprotector.h>
dependency from <linux/sched.h>.
[ mingo: Improved the changelog a bit, added language explaining x86 borkage and sched.h change. ]

We should not enable xadd operation for flow key memory if not
needed there anyway. There is no such issue as described in the
commit f37a8cb84cce ("bpf: reject stores into ctx via st and xadd")
since there's no context rewriter for flow keys today, but it
also shouldn't become part of the user facing behavior to allow
for it. After patch:
0: (79) r7 = *(u64 *)(r1 +144)
1: (b7) r3 = 4096
2: (db) lock *(u64 *)(r7 +0) += r3

But if there is a space, it returns an error.

Currently, synthetic_events interface returns error for "unsigned"

This is because argv_split() breaks "unsigned long" into "unsigned"

With this fix, synthetic_events can handle the "unsigned long"
correctly like as below;
# echo "myevent unsigned long var" >> synthetic_events

Queue/stack maps implement a FIFO/LIFO data storage for ebpf programs.
These maps support peek, pop and push operations that are exposed to eBPF
programs through the new bpf_map[peek/pop/push] helpers. Those operations
are exposed to userspace applications through the already existing
syscalls in the following way:
BPF_MAP_LOOKUP_ELEM -> peek
BPF_MAP_LOOKUP_AND_DELETE_ELEM -> pop
BPF_MAP_UPDATE_ELEM -> push
Queue/stack maps are implemented using a buffer, tail and head indexes,
hence BPF_F_NO_PREALLOC is not supported.
As opposite to other maps, queue and stack do not use RCU for protecting
maps values, the bpf_map[peek/pop] have a ARG_PTR_TO_UNINIT_MAP_VALUE
argument that is a pointer to a memory zone where to save the value of a
map. Basically the same as ARG_PTR_TO_UNINIT_MEM, but the size has not
be passed as an extra argument.
Our main motivation for implementing queue/stack maps was to keep track
of a pool of elements, like network ports in a SNAT, however we forsee
other use cases, like for exampling saving last N kernel events in a map
and then analysing from userspace.

Commit 1e77d0a1ed74 ("genirq: Sanitize spurious interrupt detection of
threaded irqs") made detection of spurious interrupts work for threaded
handlers by:
a) incrementing a counter every time the thread returns IRQ_HANDLED, and
b) checking whether that counter has increased every time the thread is
woken.
However for oneshot interrupts, the commit unmasks the interrupt before
incrementing the counter. If another interrupt occurs right after
unmasking but before the counter is incremented, that interrupt is
incorrectly considered spurious:
time
| irq_thread()
| irq_thread_fn()
| action->thread_fn()
| irq_finalize_oneshot()
| unmask_threaded_irq() /* interrupt is unmasked */
|
| /* interrupt fires, incorrectly deemed spurious */
|
| atomic_inc(&desc->threads_handled); /* counter is incremented */
v
This is observed with a hi3110 CAN controller receiving data at high volume
(from a separate machine sending with "cangen -g 0 -i -x"): The controller
signals a huge number of interrupts (hundreds of millions per day) and
every second there are about a dozen which are deemed spurious.
In theory with high CPU load and the presence of higher priority tasks, the
number of incorrectly detected spurious interrupts might increase beyond
the 99,900 threshold and cause disablement of the interrupt.
In practice it just increments the spurious interrupt count. But that can
cause people to waste time investigating it over and over.
Fix it by moving the accounting before the invocation of
irq_finalize_oneshot().

Handle architectures that are not cache coherent directly in the main

places from the various dma_map/unmap/sync methods when the device is

Because swiotlb now uses dma_direct_alloc for the coherent allocation
that side is already taken care of by the dma-direct code calling into

All architectures that support swiotlb also have a zone that backs up

Because of that it is rather pointless to fall back to the global swiotlb

It was found that when debug_locks was turned off because of a problem
found by the lockdep code, the system performance could drop quite
significantly when the lock_stat code was also configured into the
kernel. For instance, parallel kernel build time on a 4-socket x86-64
server nearly doubled.
Further analysis into the cause of the slowdown traced back to the
frequent call to debug_locks_off() from the __lock_acquired() function
probably due to some inconsistent lockdep states with debug_locks
off. The debug_locks_off() function did an unconditional atomic xchg
to write a 0 value into debug_locks which had already been set to 0.
This led to severe cacheline contention in the cacheline that held
debug_locks. As debug_locks is being referenced in quite a few different
places in the kernel, this greatly slow down the system performance.
To prevent that trashing of debug_locks cacheline, lock_acquired()
and lock_contended() now checks the state of debug_locks before
proceeding. The debug_locks_off() function is also modified to check
debug_locks before calling __debug_locks_off().

The preemptirq_delay_test module is used for the ftrace selftest code that
tests the latency tracers. The problem is that it uses ktime for the delay
loop, and then checks the tracer to see if the delay loop is caught, but the
tracer uses trace_clock_local() which uses various different other clocks to
measure the latency. As ktime uses the clock cycles, and the code then
converts that to nanoseconds, it causes rounding errors, and the preemptirq
latency tests are failing due to being off by 1 (it expects to see a delay
of 500000 us, but the delay is only 499999 us). This is happening due to a
rounding error in the ktime (which is totally legit). The purpose of the
test is to see if it can catch the delay, not to test the accuracy between
trace_clock_local() and ktime_get(). Best to use apples to apples, and have
the delay loop use the same clock as the latency tracer does.

commit 46e0c9be206f ("kernel: tracepoints: add support for relative
references") changes the layout of the __tracepoint_ptrs section on
architectures supporting relative references. However, it does so
without turning struct tracepoint * const into const int elsewhere in
the tracepoint code, which has the following side-effect:
Setting mod->num_tracepoints is done in by module.c:
mod->tracepoints_ptrs = section_objs(info, "__tracepoints_ptrs",
sizeof(*mod->tracepoints_ptrs),
&mod->num_tracepoints);
Basically, since sizeof(*mod->tracepoints_ptrs) is a pointer size
(rather than sizeof(int)), num_tracepoints is erroneously set to half the
size it should be on 64-bit arch. So a module with an odd number of
tracepoints misses the last tracepoint due to effect of integer
division.
So in the module going notifier:
for_each_tracepoint_range(mod->tracepoints_ptrs,
mod->tracepoints_ptrs + mod->num_tracepoints,
tp_module_going_check_quiescent, NULL);
the expression (mod->tracepoints_ptrs + mod->num_tracepoints) actually
evaluates to something within the bounds of the array, but miss the
last tracepoint if the number of tracepoints is odd on 64-bit arch.
Fix this by introducing a new typedef: tracepoint_ptr_t, which
is either "const int" on architectures that have PREL32 relocations,
or "struct tracepoint * const" on architectures that does not have
this feature.
Also provide a new tracepoint_ptr_defer() static inline to
encapsulate deferencing this type rather than duplicate code and
ugly idefs within the for_each_tracepoint_range() implementation.
This issue appears in 4.19-rc kernels, and should ideally be fixed
before the end of the rc cycle.

The qspinlock code supports up to 4 levels of slowpath nesting using
four per-CPU mcs_spinlock structures. For 64-bit architectures, they
fit nicely in one 64-byte cacheline.
For para-virtualized (PV) qspinlocks it needs to store more information
in the per-CPU node structure than there is space for. It uses a trick
to use a second cacheline to hold the extra information that it needs.
So PV qspinlock needs to access two extra cachelines for its information
whereas the native qspinlock code only needs one extra cacheline.
Freshly added counter profiling of the qspinlock code, however, revealed
that it was very rare to use more than two levels of slowpath nesting.
So it doesn't make sense to penalize PV qspinlock code in order to have
four mcs_spinlock structures in the same cacheline to optimize for a case
in the native qspinlock code that rarely happens.
Extend the per-CPU node structure to have two more long words when PV
qspinlock locks are configured to hold the extra data that it needs.
As a result, the PV qspinlock code will enjoy the same benefit of using
just one extra cacheline like the native counterpart, for most cases.

Queued spinlock supports up to 4 levels of lock slowpath nesting -
user context, soft IRQ, hard IRQ and NMI. However, we are not sure how
often the nesting happens.
So add 3 more per-CPU stat counters to track the number of instances where
nesting index goes to 1, 2 and 3 respectively.
On a dual-socket 64-core 128-thread Zen server, the following were the
new stat counter values under different circumstances:
State slowpath index1 index2 index3
----- -------- ------ ------ -------
After bootup 1,012,150 82 0 0
After parallel build + perf-top 125,195,009 82 0 0
So the chance of having more than 2 levels of nesting is extremely low.
