Pull the Kernel Concurrency Sanitizer from Thomas Gleixner:
"The Kernel Concurrency Sanitizer (KCSAN) is a dynamic race detector,
which relies on compile-time instrumentation, and uses a
watchpoint-based sampling approach to detect races.
The feature was under development for quite some time and has already
found legitimate bugs.
Unfortunately it comes with a limitation, which was only understood
late in the development cycle:
It requires an up to date CLANG-11 compiler
CLANG-11 is not yet released (scheduled for June), but it's the only
compiler today which handles the kernel requirements and especially
the annotations of functions to exclude them from KCSAN
instrumentation correctly.
These annotations really need to work so that low level entry code and
especially int3 text poke handling can be completely isolated.
A detailed discussion of the requirements and compiler issues can be
found here:
https://lore.kernel.org/lkml/CANpmjNMTsY_8241bS7=XAfqvZHFLrVEkv_uM4aDUWE_kh3Rvbw@mail.gmail.com/
We came to the conclusion that trying to work around compiler
limitations and bugs again would end up in a major trainwreck, so
requiring a working compiler seemed to be the best choice.
For Continous Integration purposes the compiler restriction is
manageable and that's where most xxSAN reports come from.
For a change this limitation might make GCC people actually look at
their bugs. Some issues with CSAN in GCC are 7 years old and one has
been 'fixed' 3 years ago with a half baken solution which 'solved' the
reported issue but not the underlying problem.
The KCSAN developers also ponder to use a GCC plugin to become
independent, but that's not something which will show up in a few
days.
Blocking KCSAN until wide spread compiler support is available is not
a really good alternative because the continuous growth of lockless
optimizations in the kernel demands proper tooling support"

While the VDSO code was moved into lib for sharing a subtle check

the VDSO clock mode is synchronous, it fails for paravirt clocks
because the hypervisor can invalidate them asynchronously.

In the kernel, the "volatile" keyword is used in various concurrent
contexts, whether in low-level synchronization primitives or for
legacy reasons. If supported by the compiler, it will be assumed
that aligned volatile accesses up to sizeof(long long) (matching
compiletime_assert_rwonce_type()) are atomic.
Recent versions of Clang [1] (GCC tentative [2]) can instrument
volatile accesses differently. Add the option (required) to enable the
instrumentation, and provide the necessary runtime functions. None of
the updated compilers are widely available yet (Clang 11 will be the
first release to support the feature).

kcov_remote_stop() should check that the corresponding kcov_remote_start()
actually found the specified remote handle and started collecting
coverage. This is done by checking the per thread kcov_softirq flag.
A particular failure scenario where this was observed involved a softirq
with a remote coverage collection section coming between check_kcov_mode()
and the access to t->kcov_area in __sanitizer_cov_trace_pc(). In that
softirq kcov_remote_start() bailed out after kcov_remote_find() check, but
the matching kcov_remote_stop() didn't check if kcov_remote_start()
succeeded, and overwrote per thread kcov parameters with invalid (zero)
values.

uprobe_write_opcode() must not cross page boundary; prepare_uprobe()
relies on arch_uprobe_analyze_insn() which should validate "vaddr" but
some architectures (csky, s390, and sparc) don't do this.
We can remove the BUG_ON() check in prepare_uprobe() and validate the
offset early in __uprobe_register(). The new IS_ALIGNED() check matches
the alignment check in arch_prepare_kprobe() on supported architectures,
so I think that all insns must be aligned to UPROBE_SWBP_INSN_SIZE.
Another problem is __update_ref_ctr() which was wrong from the very
beginning, it can read/write outside of kmap'ed page unless "vaddr" is
aligned to sizeof(short), __uprobe_register() should check this too.

Print the stack trace with KERN_EMERG - it should be always visible.
Playing with console_loglevel is a bad idea as there may be more messages
printed than wanted. Also the stack trace might be not printed at all if
printk() was deferred and console_loglevel was raised back before the
trace got flushed.
Unfortunately, after rebasing on commit 2277b49258 ("kdb: Fix stack
crawling on 'running' CPUs that aren't the master"), kdb_show_stack() uses
now kdb_dump_stack_on_cpu(), which for now won't be converted as it uses
dump_stack() instead of show_stack().
Convert for now the branch that uses show_stack() and remove
console_loglevel exercise from that case.

Users with SYS_ADMIN capability can add arbitrary taint flags to the
running kernel by writing to /proc/sys/kernel/tainted or issuing the
command 'sysctl -w kernel.tainted=...'. This interface, however, is
open for any integer value and this might cause an invalid set of flags
being committed to the tainted_mask bitset.
This patch introduces a simple way for proc_taint() to ignore any
eventual invalid bit coming from the user input before committing those
bits to the kernel tainted_mask.

Usually when the kernel reaches an oops condition, it's a point of no
return; in case not enough debug information is available in the kernel
splat, one of the last resorts would be to collect a kernel crash dump
and analyze it. The problem with this approach is that in order to
collect the dump, a panic is required (to kexec-load the crash kernel).
When in an environment of multiple virtual machines, users may prefer to
try living with the oops, at least until being able to properly shutdown
their VMs / finish their important tasks.
This patch implements a way to collect a bit more debug details when an
oops event is reached, by printing all the CPUs backtraces through the
usage of NMIs (on architectures that support that). The sysctl added
(and documented) here was called "oops_all_cpu_backtrace", and when set
will (as the name suggests) dump all CPUs backtraces.
Far from ideal, this may be the last option though for users that for
some reason cannot panic on oops. Most of times oopses are clear enough
to indicate the kernel portion that must be investigated, but in virtual
environments it's possible to observe hypervisor/KVM issues that could
lead to oopses shown in other guests CPUs (like virtual APIC crashes).
This patch hence aims to help debug such complex issues without
resorting to kdump.

Commit 401c636a0e ("kernel/hung_task.c: show all hung tasks before
panic") introduced a change in that we started to show all CPUs
backtraces when a hung task is detected _and_ the sysctl/kernel
parameter "hung_task_panic" is set. The idea is good, because usually
when observing deadlocks (that may lead to hung tasks), the culprit is
another task holding a lock and not necessarily the task detected as
hung.
The problem with this approach is that dumping backtraces is a slightly
expensive task, specially printing that on console (and specially in
many CPU machines, as servers commonly found nowadays). So, users that
plan to collect a kdump to investigate the hung tasks and narrow down
the deadlock definitely don't need the CPUs backtrace on dmesg/console,
which will delay the panic and pollute the log (crash tool would easily
grab all CPUs traces with 'bt -a' command).
Also, there's the reciprocal scenario: some users may be interested in
seeing the CPUs backtraces but not have the system panic when a hung
task is detected. The current approach hence is almost as embedding a
policy in the kernel, by forcing the CPUs backtraces' dump (only) on
hung_task_panic.
This patch decouples the panic event on hung task from the CPUs
backtraces dump, by creating (and documenting) a new sysctl called
"hung_task_all_cpu_backtrace", analog to the approach taken on soft/hard
lockups, that have both a panic and an "all_cpu_backtrace" sysctl to
allow individual control. The new mechanism for dumping the CPUs
backtraces on hung task detection respects "hung_task_warnings" by not
dumping the traces in case there's no warnings left.

After a recent change introduced by Vlastimil's series [0], kernel is
able now to handle sysctl parameters on kernel command line; also, the
series introduced a simple infrastructure to convert legacy boot
parameters (that duplicate sysctls) into sysctl aliases.
This patch converts the watchdog parameters softlockup_panic and
{hard,soft}lockup_all_cpu_backtrace to use the new alias infrastructure.
It fixes the documentation too, since the alias only accepts values 0 or
1, not the full range of integers.
We also took the opportunity here to improve the documentation of the
previously converted hung_task_panic (see the patch series [0]) and put
the alias table in alphabetical order.

Analogously to the introduction of panic_on_warn, this patch introduces
a kernel option named panic_on_taint in order to provide a simple and
generic way to stop execution and catch a coredump when the kernel gets
tainted by any given flag.
This is useful for debugging sessions as it avoids having to rebuild the
kernel to explicitly add calls to panic() into the code sites that
introduce the taint flags of interest.
For instance, if one is interested in proceeding with a post-mortem
analysis at the point a given code path is hitting a bad page (i.e.
unaccount_page_cache_page(), or slab_bug()), a coredump can be collected
by rebooting the kernel with 'panic_on_taint=0x20' amended to the
command line.
Another, perhaps less frequent, use for this option would be as a means
for assuring a security policy case where only a subset of taints, or no
single taint (in paranoid mode), is allowed for the running system. The
optional switch 'nousertaint' is handy in this particular scenario, as
it will avoid userspace induced crashes by writes to sysctl interface
/proc/sys/kernel/tainted causing false positive hits for such policies.
