treewide: const qualify ctl_tables where applicable
Add the const qualifier to all the ctl_tables in the tree except for
watchdog_hardlockup_sysctl, memory_allocation_profiling_sysctls,
loadpin_sysctl_table and the ones calling register_net_sysctl (./net,
drivers/inifiniband dirs). These are special cases as they use a
registration function with a non-const qualified ctl_table argument or
modify the arrays before passing them on to the registration function.
Constifying ctl_table structs will prevent the modification of
proc_handler function pointers as the arrays would reside in .rodata.
This is made possible after commit

tracing updates for v6.14:
- Cleanup with guard() and free() helpers There were several places in the code that had a lot of "goto out" in the error paths to either unlock a lock or free some memory that was allocated. But this is error prone. Convert the code over to use the guard() and free() helpers that let the compiler unlock locks or free memory when the function exits. - Update the Rust tracepoint code to use the C code too There was some duplication of the tracepoint code for Rust that did the same logic as the C code. Add a helper that makes it possible for both algorithms to use the same logic in one place. - Add poll to trace event hist files It is useful to know when an event is triggered, or even with some filtering. Since hist files of events get updated when active and the event is triggered, allow applications to poll the hist file and wake up when an event is triggered. This will let the application know that the event it is waiting for happened. - Add :mod: command to enable events for current or future modules The function tracer already has a way to enable functions to be traced in modules by writing ":mod:<module>" into set_ftrace_filter. That will enable either all the functions for the module if it is loaded, or if it is not, it will cache that command, and when the module is loaded that matches <module>, its functions will be enabled. This also allows init functions to be traced. But currently events do not have that feature. Add the command where if ':mod:<module>' is written into set_event, then either all the modules events are enabled if it is loaded, or cache it so that the module's events are enabled when it is loaded. This also works from the kernel command line, where "trace_event=:mod:<module>", when the module is loaded at boot up, its events will be enabled then. -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- iIoEABYIADIWIQRRSw7ePDh/lE+zeZMp5XQQmuv6qgUCZ5EbMxQccm9zdGVkdEBn b29kbWlzLm9yZwAKCRAp5XQQmuv6qkZsAP9Amgx9frSbR1pn1t0I3wVnQx7khgOu s/b8Ro+vjTx1/QD/RN2AA7f+HK4F27w3Aqfrs0nKXAPtXWsJ9Epp8raG5w8= =Pg+4 -----END PGP SIGNATURE----- Merge tag 'trace-v6.14-3' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/trace/linux-trace Pull tracing updates from Steven Rostedt: - Cleanup with guard() and free() helpers There were several places in the code that had a lot of "goto out" in the error paths to either unlock a lock or free some memory that was allocated.

ftrace updates for v6.14:
- Have fprobes built on top of function graph infrastructure The fprobe logic is an optimized kprobe that uses ftrace to attach to functions when a probe is needed at the start or end of the function. The fprobe and kretprobe logic implements a similar method as the function graph tracer to trace the end of the function. That is to hijack the return address and jump to a trampoline to do the trace when the function exits. To do this, a shadow stack needs to be created to store the original return address. Fprobes and function graph do this slightly differently. Fprobes (and kretprobes) has slots per callsite that are reserved to save the return address. This is fine when just a few points are traced. But users of fprobes, such as BPF programs, are starting to add many more locations, and this method does not scale. The function graph tracer was created to trace all functions in the kernel. In order to do this, when function graph tracing is started, every task gets its own shadow stack to hold the return address that is going to be traced. The function graph tracer has been updated to allow multiple users to use its infrastructure. Now have fprobes be one of those users. This will also allow for the fprobe and kretprobe methods to trace the return address to become obsolete. With new technologies like CFI that need to know about these methods of hijacking the return address, going toward a solution that has only one method of doing this will make the kernel less complex. - Cleanup with guard() and free() helpers There were several places in the code that had a lot of "goto out" in the error paths to either unlock a lock or free some memory that was allocated. But this is error prone. Convert the code over to use the guard() and free() helpers that let the compiler unlock locks or free memory when the function exits. - Remove disabling of interrupts in the function graph tracer When function graph tracer was first introduced, it could race with interrupts and NMIs. To prevent that race, it would disable interrupts and not trace NMIs. But the code has changed to allow NMIs and also interrupts. This change was done a long time ago, but the disabling of interrupts was never removed. Remove the disabling of interrupts in the function graph tracer is it is not needed. This greatly improves its performance. - Allow the :mod: command to enable tracing module functions on the kernel command line. The function tracer already has a way to enable functions to be traced in modules by writing ":mod:<module>" into set_ftrace_filter. That will enable either all the functions for the module if it is loaded, or if it is not, it will cache that command, and when the module is loaded that matches <module>, its functions will be enabled. This also allows init functions to be traced. But currently events do not have that feature. Because enabling function tracing can be done very early at boot up (before scheduling is enabled), the commands that can be done when function tracing is started is limited. Having the ":mod:" command to trace module functions as they are loaded is very useful. Update the kernel command line function filtering to allow it. -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- iIoEABYIADIWIQRRSw7ePDh/lE+zeZMp5XQQmuv6qgUCZ42E2RQccm9zdGVkdEBn b29kbWlzLm9yZwAKCRAp5XQQmuv6qqXSAPwOMxuhye8tb1GYG62QD9+w7e6nOmlC 2GCPj4detnEM2QD/ciivkhespVKhHpZHRewAuSnJgHPSM45NQ3EVESzjWQ4= =snbx -----END PGP SIGNATURE----- Merge tag 'ftrace-v6.14' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/trace/linux-trace Pull ftrace updates from Steven Rostedt: - Have fprobes built on top of function graph infrastructure The fprobe logic is an optimized kprobe that uses ftrace to attach to functions when a probe is needed at the start or end of the function.

ftrace: Implement :mod: cache filtering on kernel command line
Module functions can be set to set_ftrace_filter before the module is loaded. # echo :mod:snd_hda_intel > set_ftrace_filter This will enable all the functions for the module snd_hda_intel. If that module is not loaded, it is "cached" in the trace array for when the module is loaded, its functions will be traced. But this is not implemented in the kernel command line. That's because the kernel command line filtering is added very early in boot up as it is needed to be done before boot time function tracing can start, which is also available very early in boot up. The code used by the "set_ftrace_filter" file can not be used that early as it depends on some other initialization to occur first. But some of the functions can. Implement the ":mod:" feature of "set_ftrace_filter" in the kernel command line parsing. Now function tracing on just a single module that is loaded at boot up can be done. Adding: ftrace=function ftrace_filter=:mod:sna_hda_intel To the kernel command line will only enable the sna_hda_intel module functions when the module is loaded, and it will start tracing.

tracing: Cache ":mod:" events for modules not loaded yet
When the :mod: command is written into /sys/kernel/tracing/set_event (or that file within an instance), if the module specified after the ":mod:" is not yet loaded, it will store that string internally. When the module is loaded, it will enable the events as if the module was loaded when the string was written into the set_event file. This can also be useful to enable events that are in the init section of the module, as the events are enabled before the init section is executed. This also works on the kernel command line: trace_event=:mod:<module> Will enable the events for <module> when it is loaded.

fgraph: Pass ftrace_regs to entryfunc
Pass ftrace_regs to the fgraph_ops::entryfunc(). If ftrace_regs is not available, it passes a NULL instead. User callback function can access some registers (including return address) via this ftrace_regs. Note that the ftrace_regs can be NULL when the arch does NOT define: HAVE_DYNAMIC_FTRACE_WITH_ARGS or HAVE_DYNAMIC_FTRACE_WITH_REGS. More specifically, if HAVE_DYNAMIC_FTRACE_WITH_REGS is defined but not the HAVE_DYNAMIC_FTRACE_WITH_ARGS, and the ftrace ops used to register the function callback does not set FTRACE_OPS_FL_SAVE_REGS. In this case, ftrace_regs can be NULL in user callback.

ftrace: Switch ftrace.c code over to use guard()
There are a few functions in ftrace.c that have "goto out" or equivalent on error in order to release locks that were taken. This can be error prone or just simply make the code more complex. Switch every location that ends with unlocking a mutex on error over to using the guard(mutex)() infrastructure to let the compiler worry about releasing locks. This makes the code easier to read and understand.

ftrace: Do not disable interrupts in profiler
The function profiler disables interrupts before processing. This was there since the profiler was introduced back in 2009 when there were recursion issues to deal with. The function tracer is much more robust today and has its own internal recursion protection. There's no reason to disable interrupts in the function profiler. Instead, just disable preemption and use the guard() infrastructure while at it.

tracing updates for v6.13:
- Addition of faultable tracepoints There's a tracepoint attached to both a system call entry and exit. This location is known to allow page faults. The tracepoints are called under an rcu_read_lock() which does not allow faults that can sleep. This limits the ability of tracepoint handlers to page fault in user space system call parameters. Now these tracepoints have been made "faultable", allowing the callbacks to fault in user space parameters and record them. Note, only the infrastructure has been implemented. The consumers (perf, ftrace, BPF) now need to have their code modified to allow faults. - Fix up of BPF code for the tracepoint faultable logic - Update tracepoints to use the new static branch API - Remove trace_*_rcuidle() variants and the SRCU protection they used - Remove unused TRACE_EVENT_FL_FILTERED logic - Replace strncpy() with strscpy() and memcpy() - Use replace per_cpu_ptr(smp_processor_id()) with this_cpu_ptr() - Fix perf events to not duplicate samples when tracing is enabled - Replace atomic64_add_return(1, counter) with atomic64_inc_return(counter) - Make stack trace buffer 4K instead of PAGE_SIZE - Remove TRACE_FLAG_IRQS_NOSUPPORT flag as it was never used - Get the true return address for function tracer when function graph tracer is also running. When function_graph trace is running along with function tracer, the parent function of the function tracer sometimes is "return_to_handler", which is the function graph trampoline to record the exit of the function. Use existing logic that calls into the fgraph infrastructure to find the real return address. - Remove (un)regfunc pointers out of tracepoint structure - Added last minute bug fix for setting pending modules in stack function filter. echo "write*:mod:ext3" > /sys/kernel/tracing/stack_trace_filter Would cause a kernel NULL dereference. - Minor clean ups -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- iIoEABYIADIWIQRRSw7ePDh/lE+zeZMp5XQQmuv6qgUCZz6dehQccm9zdGVkdEBn b29kbWlzLm9yZwAKCRAp5XQQmuv6qlQsAP9aB0XGUV3UykvjZuKK84VDZ26a2hZH X2JDYsNA4luuPAEAz/BG2rnslfMZ04WTMAl8h1eh10lxcuHG0wQMHVBXIwI= =lzb5 -----END PGP SIGNATURE----- Merge tag 'trace-v6.13' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/trace/linux-trace Pull tracing updates from Steven Rostedt: - Addition of faultable tracepoints There's a tracepoint attached to both a system call entry and exit.

ftrace: Make ftrace_regs abstract from direct use
ftrace_regs was created to hold registers that store information to save function parameters, return value and stack. Since it is a subset of pt_regs, it should only be used by its accessor functions. But because pt_regs can easily be taken from ftrace_regs (on most archs), it is tempting to use it directly. But when running on other architectures, it may fail to build or worse, build but crash the kernel! Instead, make struct ftrace_regs an empty structure and have the architectures define __arch_ftrace_regs and all the accessor functions will typecast to it to get to the actual fields. This will help avoid usage of ftrace_regs directly.

function_graph: Support recording and printing the function return address
When using function_graph tracer to analyze the flow of kernel function execution, it is often necessary to quickly locate the exact line of code where the call occurs. While this may be easy at times, it can be more time-consuming when some functions are inlined or the flow is too long. This feature aims to simplify the process by recording the return address of traced funcions and printing it when outputing trace logs. To enhance human readability, the prefix 'ret=' is used for the kernel return value, while '<-' serves as the prefix for the return address in trace logs to make it look more like the function tracer. A new trace option named 'funcgraph-retaddr' has been introduced, and the existing option 'sym-addr' can be used to control the format of the return address. See below logs with both funcgraph-retval and funcgraph-retaddr enabled. 0) | load_elf_binary() { /* <-bprm_execve+0x249/0x600 */ 0) | load_elf_phdrs() { /* <-load_elf_binary+0x84/0x1730 */ 0) | __kmalloc_noprof() { /* <-load_elf_phdrs+0x4a/0xb0 */ 0) 3.657 us | __cond_resched(); /* <-__kmalloc_noprof+0x28c/0x390 ret=0x0 */ 0) + 24.335 us | } /* __kmalloc_noprof ret=0xffff8882007f3000 */ 0) | kernel_read() { /* <-load_elf_phdrs+0x6c/0xb0 */ 0) | rw_verify_area() { /* <-kernel_read+0x2b/0x50 */ 0) | security_file_permission() { /* <-kernel_read+0x2b/0x50 */ 0) | selinux_file_permission() { /* <-security_file_permission+0x26/0x40 */ 0) | __inode_security_revalidate() { /* <-selinux_file_permission+0x6d/0x140 */ 0) 2.034 us | __cond_resched(); /* <-__inode_security_revalidate+0x5f/0x80 ret=0x0 */ 0) 6.602 us | } /* __inode_security_revalidate ret=0x0 */ 0) 2.214 us | avc_policy_seqno(); /* <-selinux_file_permission+0x107/0x140 ret=0x0 */ 0) + 16.670 us | } /* selinux_file_permission ret=0x0 */ 0) + 20.809 us | } /* security_file_permission ret=0x0 */ 0) + 25.217 us | } /* rw_verify_area ret=0x0 */ 0) | __kernel_read() { /* <-load_elf_phdrs+0x6c/0xb0 */ 0) | ext4_file_read_iter() { /* <-__kernel_read+0x160/0x2e0 */ Then, we can use the faddr2line to locate the source code, for example: $ ./scripts/faddr2line ./vmlinux load_elf_phdrs+0x6c/0xb0 load_elf_phdrs+0x6c/0xb0: elf_read at fs/binfmt_elf.c:471 (inlined by) load_elf_phdrs at fs/binfmt_elf.c:531 Link: https://lore.kernel.org/20240915032912.1118397-1-dolinux.peng@gmail.com Reported-by: kernel test robot <lkp@intel.com> Closes: https://lore.kernel.org/oe-kbuild-all/202409150605.HgUmU8ea-lkp@intel.com/ Signed-off-by: Donglin Peng <dolinux.peng@gmail.com> [ Rebased to handle text_delta offsets ] Signed-off-by: Steven Rostedt (Google) <rostedt@goodmis.org> |

ftrace: Have calltime be saved in the fgraph storage
The calltime field in the shadow stack frame is only used by the function graph tracer and profiler. But now that there's other users of the function graph infrastructure, this adds overhead and wastes space on the shadow stack. Move the calltime to the fgraph data storage, where the function graph and profiler entry functions will save it in its own graph storage and retrieve it in its exit functions.

ftrace: Use a running sleeptime instead of saving on shadow stack
The fgraph "sleep-time" option tells the function graph tracer and the profiler whether to include the time a function "sleeps" (is scheduled off the CPU) in its duration for the function. By default it is true, which means the duration of a function is calculated by the timestamp of when the function was entered to the timestamp of when it exits. If the "sleep-time" option is disabled, it needs to remove the time that the task was not running on the CPU during the function. Currently it is done in a sched_switch tracepoint probe where it moves the "calltime" (time of entry of the function) forward by the sleep time calculated. It updates all the calltime in the shadow stack. This is time consuming for those users of the function graph tracer that does not care about the sleep time. Instead, add a "ftrace_sleeptime" to the task_struct that gets the sleep time added each time the task wakes up. Then have the function entry save the current "ftrace_sleeptime" and on function exit, move the calltime forward by the difference of the current "ftrace_sleeptime" from the saved sleeptime. This removes one dependency of "calltime" needed to be on the shadow stack. It also simplifies the code that removes the sleep time of functions. TODO: Only enable the sched_switch tracepoint when this is needed.

sysctl: treewide: constify the ctl_table argument of proc_handlers
const qualify the struct ctl_table argument in the proc_handler function signatures. This is a prerequisite to moving the static ctl_table structs into .rodata data which will ensure that proc_handler function pointers cannot be modified. This patch has been generated by the following coccinelle script: ``` virtual patch @r1@ identifier ctl, write, buffer, lenp, ppos; identifier func !~ "appldata_(timer|interval)_handler|sched_(rt|rr)_handler|rds_tcp_skbuf_handler|proc_sctp_do_(hmac_alg|rto_min|rto_max|udp_port|alpha_beta|auth|probe_interval)"; @@ int func( - struct ctl_table *ctl + const struct ctl_table *ctl ,int write, void *buffer, size_t *lenp, loff_t *ppos); @r2@ identifier func, ctl, write, buffer, lenp, ppos; @@ int func( - struct ctl_table *ctl + const struct ctl_table *ctl ,int write, void *buffer, size_t *lenp, loff_t *ppos) { ... } @r3@ identifier func; @@ int func( - struct ctl_table * + const struct ctl_table * ,int , void *, size_t *, loff_t *); @r4@ identifier func, ctl; @@ int func( - struct ctl_table *ctl + const struct ctl_table *ctl ,int , void *, size_t *, loff_t *); @r5@ identifier func, write, buffer, lenp, ppos; @@ int func( - struct ctl_table * + const struct ctl_table * ,int write, void *buffer, size_t *lenp, loff_t *ppos); ``` * Code formatting was adjusted in xfs_sysctl.c to comply with code conventions. The xfs_stats_clear_proc_handler, xfs_panic_mask_proc_handler and xfs_deprecated_dointvec_minmax where adjusted. * The ctl_table argument in proc_watchdog_common was const qualified. This is called from a proc_handler itself and is calling back into another proc_handler, making it necessary to change it as part of the proc_handler migration.

Yu has a fix which I'll send along later via the hotfixes branch. - In the series "mm: Avoid possible overflows in dirty throttling" Jan Kara addresses a couple of issues in the writeback throttling code. These fixes are also targetted at -stable kernels. - Ryusuke Konishi's series "nilfs2: fix potential issues related to reserved inodes" does that. This should actually be in the mm-nonmm-stable tree, along with the many other nilfs2 patches. My bad. - More folio conversions from Kefeng Wang in the series "mm: convert to folio_alloc_mpol()" - Kemeng Shi has sent some cleanups to the writeback code in the series "Add helper functions to remove repeated code and improve readability of cgroup writeback" - Kairui Song has made the swap code a little smaller and a little faster in the series "mm/swap: clean up and optimize swap cache index". - In the series "mm/memory: cleanly support zeropage in vm_insert_page*(), vm_map_pages*() and vmf_insert_mixed()" David Hildenbrand has reworked the rather sketchy handling of the use of the zeropage in MAP_SHARED mappings. I don't see any runtime effects here - more a cleanup/understandability/maintainablity thing. - Dev Jain has improved selftests/mm/va_high_addr_switch.c's handling of higher addresses, for aarch64. The (poorly named) series is "Restructure va_high_addr_switch". - The core TLB handling code gets some cleanups and possible slight optimizations in Bang Li's series "Add update_mmu_tlb_range() to simplify code". - Jane Chu has improved the handling of our fake-an-unrecoverable-memory-error testing feature MADV_HWPOISON in the series "Enhance soft hwpoison handling and injection". - Jeff Johnson has sent a billion patches everywhere to add MODULE_DESCRIPTION() to everything. Some landed in this pull. - In the series "mm: cleanup MIGRATE_SYNC_NO_COPY mode", Kefeng Wang has simplified migration's use of hardware-offload memory copying. - Yosry Ahmed performs more folio API conversions in his series "mm: zswap: trivial folio conversions". - In the series "large folios swap-in: handle refault cases first", Chuanhua Han inches us forward in the handling of large pages in the swap code. This is a cleanup and optimization, working toward the end objective of full support of large folio swapin/out. - In the series "mm,swap: cleanup VMA based swap readahead window calculation", Huang Ying has contributed some cleanups and a possible fixlet to his VMA based swap readahead code. - In the series "add mTHP support for anonymous shmem" Baolin Wang has taught anonymous shmem mappings to use multisize THP. By default this is a no-op - users must opt in vis sysfs controls. Dramatic improvements in pagefault latency are realized. - David Hildenbrand has some cleanups to our remaining use of page_mapcount() in the series "fs/proc: move page_mapcount() to fs/proc/internal.h". - David also has some highmem accounting cleanups in the series "mm/highmem: don't track highmem pages manually". - Build-time fixes and cleanups from John Hubbard in the series "cleanups, fixes, and progress towards avoiding "make headers"". - Cleanups and consolidation of the core pagemap handling from Barry Song in the series "mm: introduce pmd|pte_needs_soft_dirty_wp helpers and utilize them". - Lance Yang's series "Reclaim lazyfree THP without splitting" has reduced the latency of the reclaim of pmd-mapped THPs under fairly common circumstances. A 10x speedup is seen in a microbenchmark. It does this by punting to aother CPU but I guess that's a win unless all CPUs are pegged. - hugetlb_cgroup cleanups from Xiu Jianfeng in the series "mm/hugetlb_cgroup: rework on cftypes". - Miaohe Lin's series "Some cleanups for memory-failure" does just that thing. - Is anyone reading this stuff? If so, email me! - Someone other than SeongJae has developed a DAMON feature in Honggyu Kim's series "DAMON based tiered memory management for CXL memory". This adds DAMON features which may be used to help determine the efficiency of our placement of CXL/PCIe attached DRAM. - DAMON user API centralization and simplificatio work in SeongJae Park's series "mm/damon: introduce DAMON parameters online commit function". - In the series "mm: page_type, zsmalloc and page_mapcount_reset()" David Hildenbrand does some maintenance work on zsmalloc - partially modernizing its use of pageframe fields. - Kefeng Wang provides more folio conversions in the series "mm: remove page_maybe_dma_pinned() and page_mkclean()". - More cleanup from David Hildenbrand, this time in the series "mm/memory_hotplug: use PageOffline() instead of PageReserved() for !ZONE_DEVICE". It "enlightens memory hotplug more about PageOffline() pages" and permits the removal of some virtio-mem hacks. - Barry Song's series "mm: clarify folio_add_new_anon_rmap() and __folio_add_anon_rmap()" is a cleanup to the anon folio handling in preparation for mTHP (multisize THP) swapin. - Kefeng Wang's series "mm: improve clear and copy user folio" implements more folio conversions, this time in the area of large folio userspace copying. - The series "Docs/mm/damon/maintaier-profile: document a mailing tool and community meetup series" tells people how to get better involved with other DAMON developers. From SeongJae Park. - A large series ("kmsan: Enable on s390") from Ilya Leoshkevich does that. - David Hildenbrand sends along more cleanups, this time against the migration code. The series is "mm/migrate: move NUMA hinting fault folio isolation + checks under PTL". - Jan Kara has found quite a lot of strangenesses and minor errors in the readahead code. He addresses this in the series "mm: Fix various readahead quirks". - SeongJae Park's series "selftests/damon: test DAMOS tried regions and {min,max}_nr_regions" adds features and addresses errors in DAMON's self testing code. - Gavin Shan has found a userspace-triggerable WARN in the pagecache code. The series "mm/filemap: Limit page cache size to that supported by xarray" addresses this. The series is marked cc:stable. - Chengming Zhou's series "mm/ksm: cmp_and_merge_page() optimizations and cleanup" cleans up and slightly optimizes KSM. - Roman Gushchin has separated the memcg-v1 and memcg-v2 code - lots of code motion. The series (which also makes the memcg-v1 code Kconfigurable) are "mm: memcg: separate legacy cgroup v1 code and put under config option" and "mm: memcg: put cgroup v1-specific memcg data under CONFIG_MEMCG_V1" - Dan Schatzberg's series "Add swappiness argument to memory.reclaim" adds an additional feature to this cgroup-v2 control file. - The series "Userspace controls soft-offline pages" from Jiaqi Yan permits userspace to stop the kernel's automatic treatment of excessive correctable memory errors. In order to permit userspace to monitor and handle this situation. - Kefeng Wang's series "mm: migrate: support poison recover from migrate folio" teaches the kernel to appropriately handle migration from poisoned source folios rather than simply panicing. - SeongJae Park's series "Docs/damon: minor fixups and improvements" does those things. - In the series "mm/zsmalloc: change back to per-size_class lock" Chengming Zhou improves zsmalloc's scalability and memory utilization. - Vivek Kasireddy's series "mm/gup: Introduce memfd_pin_folios() for pinning memfd folios" makes the GUP code use FOLL_PIN rather than bare refcount increments. So these paes can first be moved aside if they reside in the movable zone or a CMA block. - Andrii Nakryiko has added a binary ioctl()-based API to /proc/pid/maps for much faster reading of vma information. The series is "query VMAs from /proc/<pid>/maps". - In the series "mm: introduce per-order mTHP split counters" Lance Yang improves the kernel's presentation of developer information related to multisize THP splitting. - Michael Ellerman has developed the series "Reimplement huge pages without hugepd on powerpc (8xx, e500, book3s/64)". This permits userspace to use all available huge page sizes. - In the series "revert unconditional slab and page allocator fault injection calls" Vlastimil Babka removes a performance-affecting and not very useful feature from slab fault injection. -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- iHUEABYKAB0WIQTTMBEPP41GrTpTJgfdBJ7gKXxAjgUCZp2C+QAKCRDdBJ7gKXxA joTkAQDvjqOoFStqk4GU3OXMYB7WCU/ZQMFG0iuu1EEwTVDZ4QEA8CnG7seek1R3 xEoo+vw0sWWeLV3qzsxnCA1BJ8cTJA8= =z0Lf -----END PGP SIGNATURE----- Merge tag 'mm-stable-2024-07-21-14-50' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/akpm/mm Pull MM updates from Andrew Morton: - In the series "mm: Avoid possible overflows in dirty throttling" Jan Kara addresses a couple of issues in the writeback throttling code.

My bad. - More folio conversions from Kefeng Wang in the series "mm: convert to folio_alloc_mpol()" - Kemeng Shi has sent some cleanups to the writeback code in the series "Add helper functions to remove repeated code and improve readability of cgroup writeback" - Kairui Song has made the swap code a little smaller and a little faster in the series "mm/swap: clean up and optimize swap cache index". - In the series "mm/memory: cleanly support zeropage in vm_insert_page*(), vm_map_pages*() and vmf_insert_mixed()" David Hildenbrand has reworked the rather sketchy handling of the use of the zeropage in MAP_SHARED mappings. I don't see any runtime effects here - more a cleanup/understandability/maintainablity thing. - Dev Jain has improved selftests/mm/va_high_addr_switch.c's handling of higher addresses, for aarch64. The (poorly named) series is "Restructure va_high_addr_switch". - The core TLB handling code gets some cleanups and possible slight optimizations in Bang Li's series "Add update_mmu_tlb_range() to simplify code". - Jane Chu has improved the handling of our fake-an-unrecoverable-memory-error testing feature MADV_HWPOISON in the series "Enhance soft hwpoison handling and injection". - Jeff Johnson has sent a billion patches everywhere to add MODULE_DESCRIPTION() to everything. Some landed in this pull. - In the series "mm: cleanup MIGRATE_SYNC_NO_COPY mode", Kefeng Wang has simplified migration's use of hardware-offload memory copying. - Yosry Ahmed performs more folio API conversions in his series "mm: zswap: trivial folio conversions". - In the series "large folios swap-in: handle refault cases first", Chuanhua Han inches us forward in the handling of large pages in the swap code. This is a cleanup and optimization, working toward the end objective of full support of large folio swapin/out. - In the series "mm,swap: cleanup VMA based swap readahead window calculation", Huang Ying has contributed some cleanups and a possible fixlet to his VMA based swap readahead code. - In the series "add mTHP support for anonymous shmem" Baolin Wang has taught anonymous shmem mappings to use multisize THP. By default this is a no-op - users must opt in vis sysfs controls. Dramatic improvements in pagefault latency are realized. - David Hildenbrand has some cleanups to our remaining use of page_mapcount() in the series "fs/proc: move page_mapcount() to fs/proc/internal.h". - David also has some highmem accounting cleanups in the series "mm/highmem: don't track highmem pages manually". - Build-time fixes and cleanups from John Hubbard in the series "cleanups, fixes, and progress towards avoiding "make headers"". - Cleanups and consolidation of the core pagemap handling from Barry Song in the series "mm: introduce pmd|pte_needs_soft_dirty_wp helpers and utilize them". - Lance Yang's series "Reclaim lazyfree THP without splitting" has reduced the latency of the reclaim of pmd-mapped THPs under fairly common circumstances. A 10x speedup is seen in a microbenchmark. It does this by punting to aother CPU but I guess that's a win unless all CPUs are pegged. - hugetlb_cgroup cleanups from Xiu Jianfeng in the series "mm/hugetlb_cgroup: rework on cftypes". - Miaohe Lin's series "Some cleanups for memory-failure" does just that thing. - Someone other than SeongJae has developed a DAMON feature in Honggyu Kim's series "DAMON based tiered memory management for CXL memory". This adds DAMON features which may be used to help determine the efficiency of our placement of CXL/PCIe attached DRAM. - DAMON user API centralization and simplificatio work in SeongJae Park's series "mm/damon: introduce DAMON parameters online commit function". - In the series "mm: page_type, zsmalloc and page_mapcount_reset()" David Hildenbrand does some maintenance work on zsmalloc - partially modernizing its use of pageframe fields. - Kefeng Wang provides more folio conversions in the series "mm: remove page_maybe_dma_pinned() and page_mkclean()". - More cleanup from David Hildenbrand, this time in the series "mm/memory_hotplug: use PageOffline() instead of PageReserved() for !ZONE_DEVICE". It "enlightens memory hotplug more about PageOffline() pages" and permits the removal of some virtio-mem hacks. - Barry Song's series "mm: clarify folio_add_new_anon_rmap() and __folio_add_anon_rmap()" is a cleanup to the anon folio handling in preparation for mTHP (multisize THP) swapin. - Kefeng Wang's series "mm: improve clear and copy user folio" implements more folio conversions, this time in the area of large folio userspace copying. - The series "Docs/mm/damon/maintaier-profile: document a mailing tool and community meetup series" tells people how to get better involved with other DAMON developers. From SeongJae Park. - A large series ("kmsan: Enable on s390") from Ilya Leoshkevich does that. - David Hildenbrand sends along more cleanups, this time against the migration code. The series is "mm/migrate: move NUMA hinting fault folio isolation + checks under PTL". - Jan Kara has found quite a lot of strangenesses and minor errors in the readahead code. He addresses this in the series "mm: Fix various readahead quirks". - SeongJae Park's series "selftests/damon: test DAMOS tried regions and {min,max}_nr_regions" adds features and addresses errors in DAMON's self testing code. - Gavin Shan has found a userspace-triggerable WARN in the pagecache code. The series "mm/filemap: Limit page cache size to that supported by xarray" addresses this. The series is marked cc:stable. - Chengming Zhou's series "mm/ksm: cmp_and_merge_page() optimizations and cleanup" cleans up and slightly optimizes KSM. - Roman Gushchin has separated the memcg-v1 and memcg-v2 code - lots of code motion. The series (which also makes the memcg-v1 code Kconfigurable) are "mm: memcg: separate legacy cgroup v1 code and put under config option" and "mm: memcg: put cgroup v1-specific memcg data under CONFIG_MEMCG_V1" - Dan Schatzberg's series "Add swappiness argument to memory.reclaim" adds an additional feature to this cgroup-v2 control file. - The series "Userspace controls soft-offline pages" from Jiaqi Yan permits userspace to stop the kernel's automatic treatment of excessive correctable memory errors. In order to permit userspace to monitor and handle this situation. - Kefeng Wang's series "mm: migrate: support poison recover from migrate folio" teaches the kernel to appropriately handle migration from poisoned source folios rather than simply panicing. - SeongJae Park's series "Docs/damon: minor fixups and improvements" does those things. - In the series "mm/zsmalloc: change back to per-size_class lock" Chengming Zhou improves zsmalloc's scalability and memory utilization. - Vivek Kasireddy's series "mm/gup: Introduce memfd_pin_folios() for pinning memfd folios" makes the GUP code use FOLL_PIN rather than bare refcount increments. So these paes can first be moved aside if they reside in the movable zone or a CMA block. - Andrii Nakryiko has added a binary ioctl()-based API to /proc/pid/maps for much faster reading of vma information. The series is "query VMAs from /proc/<pid>/maps". - In the series "mm: introduce per-order mTHP split counters" Lance Yang improves the kernel's presentation of developer information related to multisize THP splitting. - Michael Ellerman has developed the series "Reimplement huge pages without hugepd on powerpc (8xx, e500, book3s/64)". This permits userspace to use all available huge page sizes. - In the series "revert unconditional slab and page allocator fault injection calls" Vlastimil Babka removes a performance-affecting and not very useful feature from slab fault injection. * tag 'mm-stable-2024-07-21-14-50' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/akpm/mm: (411 commits) mm/mglru: fix ineffective protection calculation mm/zswap: fix a white space issue mm/hugetlb: fix kernel NULL pointer dereference when migrating hugetlb folio mm/hugetlb: fix possible recursive locking detected warning mm/gup: clear the LRU flag of a page before adding to LRU batch mm/numa_balancing: teach mpol_to_str about the balancing mode mm: memcg1: convert charge move flags to unsigned long long alloc_tag: fix page_ext_get/page_ext_put sequence during page splitting lib: reuse page_ext_data() to obtain codetag_ref lib: add missing newline character in the warning message mm/mglru: fix overshooting shrinker memory mm/mglru: fix div-by-zero in vmpressure_calc_level() mm/kmemleak: replace strncpy() with strscpy() mm, page_alloc: put should_fail_alloc_page() back behing CONFIG_FAIL_PAGE_ALLOC mm, slab: put should_failslab() back behind CONFIG_SHOULD_FAILSLAB mm: ignore data-race in __swap_writepage hugetlbfs: ensure generic_hugetlb_get_unmapped_area() returns higher address than mmap_min_addr mm: shmem: rename mTHP shmem counters mm: swap_state: use folio_alloc_mpol() in __read_swap_cache_async() mm/migrate: putback split folios when numa hint migration fails ... |

ftrace: Rewrite of function graph tracer
Up until now, the function graph tracer could only have a single user attached to it. If another user tried to attach to the function graph tracer while one was already attached, it would fail. Allowing function graph tracer to have more than one user has been asked for since 2009, but it required a rewrite to the logic to pull it off so it never happened. Until now! There's three systems that trace the return of a function. That is kretprobes, function graph tracer, and BPF. kretprobes and function graph tracing both do it similarly. The difference is that kretprobes uses a shadow stack per callback and function graph tracer creates a shadow stack for all tasks. The function graph tracer method makes it possible to trace the return of all functions. As kretprobes now needs that feature too, allowing it to use function graph tracer was needed. BPF also wants to trace the return of many probes and its method doesn't scale either. Having it use function graph tracer would improve that. By allowing function graph tracer to have multiple users allows both kretprobes and BPF to use function graph tracer in these cases. This will allow kretprobes code to be removed in the future as it's version will no longer be needed. Note, function graph tracer is only limited to 16 simultaneous users, due to shadow stack size and allocated slots. -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- iIoEABYIADIWIQRRSw7ePDh/lE+zeZMp5XQQmuv6qgUCZpbWlxQccm9zdGVkdEBn b29kbWlzLm9yZwAKCRAp5XQQmuv6qgtvAP9jxmgEiEhz4Bpe1vRKVSMYK6ozXHTT 7MFKRMeQqQ8zeAEA2sD5Zrt9l7zKzg0DFpaDLgc3/yh14afIDxzTlIvkmQ8= =umuf -----END PGP SIGNATURE----- Merge tag 'ftrace-v6.11' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/trace/linux-trace Pull ftrace updates from Steven Rostedt: "Rewrite of function graph tracer to allow multiple users Up until now, the function graph tracer could only have a single user attached to it.

ftrace: unpoison ftrace_regs in ftrace_ops_list_func()
Patch series "kmsan: Enable on s390", v7. Architectures use assembly code to initialize ftrace_regs and call ftrace_ops_list_func(). Therefore, from the KMSAN's point of view, ftrace_regs is poisoned on ftrace_ops_list_func entry(). This causes KMSAN warnings when running the ftrace testsuite. Fix by trusting the architecture-specific assembly code and always unpoisoning ftrace_regs in ftrace_ops_list_func. The issue was not encountered on x86_64 so far only by accident: assembly-allocated ftrace_regs was overlapping a stale partially unpoisoned stack frame. Poisoning stack frames before returns [1] makes the issue appear on x86_64 as well.

kallsyms: rework symbol lookup return codes
Building with W=1 in some configurations produces a false positive warning for kallsyms: kernel/kallsyms.c: In function '__sprint_symbol.isra': kernel/kallsyms.c:503:17: error: 'strcpy' source argument is the same as destination [-Werror=restrict] 503 | strcpy(buffer, name); | ^~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ This originally showed up while building with -O3, but later started happening in other configurations as well, depending on inlining decisions. The underlying issue is that the local 'name' variable is always initialized to the be the same as 'buffer' in the called functions that fill the buffer, which gcc notices while inlining, though it could see that the address check always skips the copy. The calling conventions here are rather unusual, as all of the internal lookup functions (bpf_address_lookup, ftrace_mod_address_lookup, ftrace_func_address_lookup, module_address_lookup and kallsyms_lookup_buildid) already use the provided buffer and either return the address of that buffer to indicate success, or NULL for failure, but the callers are written to also expect an arbitrary other buffer to be returned. Rework the calling conventions to return the length of the filled buffer instead of its address, which is simpler and easier to follow as well as avoiding the warning. Leave only the kallsyms_lookup() calling conventions unchanged, since that is called from 16 different functions and adapting this would be a much bigger change.

ftrace: Remove "filter_hash" parameter from __ftrace_hash_rec_update()
While adding comments to the function __ftrace_hash_rec_update() and trying to describe in detail what the parameter for "filter_hash" does, I realized that it basically does exactly the same thing (but differently) if it is set or not! If it is set, the idea was the ops->filter_hash was being updated, and the code should focus on the functions that are in the ops->filter_hash and add them. But it still had to pay attention to the functions in the ops->notrace_hash, to ignore them. If it was cleared, it focused on the ops->notrace_hash, and would add functions that were not in the ops->notrace_hash but would still keep functions in the "ops->filter_hash". Basically doing the same thing. In reality, the __ftrace_hash_rec_update() only needs to either remove the functions associated to the give ops (if "inc" is set) or remove them (if "inc" is cleared). It has to pay attention to both the filter_hash and notrace_hash regardless. Remove the "filter_hash" parameter from __filter_hash_rec_update() and comment the function for what it really is doing.

function_graph: Have the instances use their own ftrace_ops for filtering
Allow for instances to have their own ftrace_ops part of the fgraph_ops that makes the funtion_graph tracer filter on the set_ftrace_filter file of the instance and not the top instance. This uses the new ftrace_startup_subops(), by using graph_ops as the "manager ops" that defines the callback function and adds the functions defined by the filters of the ops for each trace instance. The callback defined by the manager ops will call the registered fgraph ops that were added to the fgraph_array.

ftrace: Allow subops filtering to be modified
The subops filters use a "manager" ops to enable and disable its filters. The manager ops can handle more than one subops, and its filter is what controls what functions get set. Add a ftrace_hash_move_and_update_subops() function that will update the manager ops when the subops filters change.

ftrace: Add subops logic to allow one ops to manage many
There are cases where a single system will use a single function callback to handle multiple users. For example, to allow function_graph tracer to have multiple users where each can trace their own set of functions, it is useful to only have one ftrace_ops registered to ftrace that will call a function by the function_graph tracer to handle the multiplexing with the different registered function_graph tracers. Add a "subop_list" to the ftrace_ops that will hold a list of other ftrace_ops that the top ftrace_ops will manage. The function ftrace_startup_subops() that takes the manager ftrace_ops and a subop ftrace_ops it will manage. If there are no subops with the ftrace_ops yet, it will copy the ftrace_ops subop filters to the manager ftrace_ops and register that with ftrace_startup(), and adds the subop to its subop_list. If the manager ops already has something registered, it will then merge the new subop filters with what it has and enable the new functions that covers all the subops it has. To remove a subop, ftrace_shutdown_subops() is called which will use the subop_list of the manager ops to rebuild all the functions it needs to trace, and update the ftrace records to only call the functions it now has registered. If there are no more functions registered, it will then call ftrace_shutdown() to disable itself completely. Note, it is up to the manager ops callback to always make sure that the subops callbacks are called if its filter matches, as there are times in the update where the callback could be calling more functions than those that are currently registered. This could be updated to handle other systems other than function_graph, for example, fprobes could use this (but will need an interface to call ftrace_startup_subops()).

function_graph: Remove logic around ftrace_graph_entry and return
The function pointers ftrace_graph_entry and ftrace_graph_return are no longer called via the function_graph tracer. Instead, an array structure is now used that will allow for multiple users of the function_graph infrastructure. The variables are still used by the architecture code for non dynamic ftrace configs, where a test is made against them to see if they point to the default stub function or not. This is how the static function tracing knows to call into the function graph tracer infrastructure or not. Two new stub functions are made. entry_run() and return_run(). The ftrace_graph_entry and ftrace_graph_return are set to them respectively when the function graph tracer is enabled, and this will trigger the architecture specific function graph code to be executed. This also requires checking the global_ops hash for all calls into the function_graph tracer.

kprobe/ftrace: bail out if ftrace was killed
If an error happens in ftrace, ftrace_kill() will prevent disarming kprobes. Eventually, the ftrace_ops associated with the kprobes will be freed, yet the kprobes will still be active, and when triggered, they will use the freed memory, likely resulting in a page fault and panic. This behavior can be reproduced quite easily, by creating a kprobe and then triggering a ftrace_kill(). For simplicity, we can simulate an ftrace error with a kernel module like [1]: [1]: https://github.com/brenns10/kernel_stuff/tree/master/ftrace_killer sudo perf probe --add commit_creds sudo perf trace -e probe:commit_creds # In another terminal make sudo insmod ftrace_killer.ko # calls ftrace_kill(), simulating bug # Back to perf terminal # ctrl-c sudo perf probe --del commit_creds After a short period, a page fault and panic would occur as the kprobe continues to execute and uses the freed ftrace_ops. While ftrace_kill() is supposed to be used only in extreme circumstances, it is invoked in FTRACE_WARN_ON() and so there are many places where an unexpected bug could be triggered, yet the system may continue operating, possibly without the administrator noticing. If ftrace_kill() does not panic the system, then we should do everything we can to continue operating, rather than leave a ticking time bomb.
