Pull trace ring buffer fixes from Steven Rostedt:
- Enable resize on mmap() error
When a process mmaps a ring buffer, its size is locked and resizing
is disabled. But if the user passes in a wrong parameter, the mmap()
can fail after the resize was disabled and the mmap() exits with
error without reenabling the ring buffer resize. This prevents the
ring buffer from ever being resized after that. Reenable resizing of
the ring buffer on mmap() error.
- Have resizing return proper error and not always -ENOMEM
If the ring buffer is mmapped by one task and another task tries to
resize the buffer it will error with -ENOMEM. This is confusing to
the user as there may be plenty of memory available. Have it return
the error that actually happens (in this case -EBUSY) where the user
can understand why the resize failed.
- Test the sub-buffer array to validate persistent memory buffer
On boot up, the initialization of the persistent memory buffer will
do a validation check to see if the content of the data is valid, and
if so, it will use the memory as is, otherwise it re-initializes it.
There's meta data in this persistent memory that keeps track of which
sub-buffer is the reader page and an array that states the order of
the sub-buffers. The values in this array are indexes into the
sub-buffers. The validator checks to make sure that all the entries
in the array are within the sub-buffer list index, but it does not
check for duplications.
While working on this code, the array got corrupted and had
duplicates, where not all the sub-buffers were accounted for. This
passed the validator as all entries were valid, but the link list was
incorrect and could have caused a crash. The corruption only produced
incorrect data, but it could have been more severe. To fix this,
create a bitmask that covers all the sub-buffer indexes and set it to
all zeros. While iterating the array checking the values of the array
content, have it set a bit corresponding to the index in the array.
If the bit was already set, then it is a duplicate and mark the
buffer as invalid and reset it.
- Prevent mmap()ing persistent ring buffer
The persistent ring buffer uses vmap() to map the persistent memory.
Currently, the mmap() logic only uses virt_to_page() to get the page
from the ring buffer memory and use that to map to user space. This
works because a normal ring buffer uses alloc_page() to allocate its
memory. But because the persistent ring buffer use vmap() it causes a
kernel crash.
Fixing this to work with vmap() is not hard, but since mmap() on
persistent memory buffers never worked, just have the mmap() return
-ENODEV (what was returned before mmap() for persistent memory ring
buffers, as they never supported mmap. Normal buffers will still
allow mmap(). Implementing mmap() for persistent memory ring buffers
can wait till the next merge window.
- Fix polling on persistent ring buffers
There's a "buffer_percent" option (default set to 50), that is used
to have reads of the ring buffer binary data block until the buffer
fills to that percentage. The field "pages_touched" is incremented
every time a new sub-buffer has content added to it. This field is
used in the calculations to determine the amount of content is in the
buffer and if it exceeds the "buffer_percent" then it will wake the
task polling on the buffer.
As persistent ring buffers can be created by the content from a
previous boot, the "pages_touched" field was not updated. This means
that if a task were to poll on the persistent buffer, it would block
even if the buffer was completely full. It would block even if the
"buffer_percent" was zero, because with "pages_touched" as zero, it
would be calculated as the buffer having no content. Update
pages_touched when initializing the persistent ring buffer from a
previous boot.
* tag 'trace-ring-buffer-v6.14-rc2' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/trace/linux-trace:
ring-buffer: Update pages_touched to reflect persistent buffer content
tracing: Do not allow mmap() of persistent ring buffer
ring-buffer: Validate the persistent meta data subbuf array
tracing: Have the error of __tracing_resize_ring_buffer() passed to user
ring-buffer: Unlock resize on mmap error
The pages_touched field represents the number of subbuffers in the ring
buffer that have content that can be read. This is used in accounting of
"dirty_pages" and "buffer_percent" to allow the user to wait for the
buffer to be filled to a certain amount before it reads the buffer in
blocking mode.
The persistent buffer never updated this value so it was set to zero, and
this accounting would take it as it had no content. This would cause user
space to wait for content even though there's enough content in the ring
buffer that satisfies the buffer_percent.

The reason was that the code that maps the ring buffer pages to user space
has:
page = virt_to_page((void *)cpu_buffer->subbuf_ids[s]);
And uses that in:
vm_insert_pages(vma, vma->vm_start, pages, &nr_pages);
But virt_to_page() does not work with vmap()'d memory which is what the
persistent ring buffer has. It is rather trivial to allow this, but for
now just disable mmap() of instances that have their ring buffer from the
reserve_mem option.
If an mmap() is performed on a persistent buffer it will return -ENODEV
just like it would if the .mmap field wasn't defined in the
file_operations structure.

kernfs_rename_lock is used to obtain stable kernfs_node::{name|parent}
pointer. This is a preparation to access kernfs_node::parent under RCU
and ensure that the pointer remains stable under the RCU lifetime
guarantees.
For a complete path, as it is done in kernfs_path_from_node(), the
kernfs_rename_lock is still required in order to obtain a stable parent
relationship while computing the relevant node depth. This must not
change while the nodes are inspected in order to build the path.
If the kernfs user never moves the nodes (changes the parent) then the
kernfs_rename_lock is not required and the RCU guarantees are
sufficient. This "restriction" can be set with
KERNFS_ROOT_INVARIANT_PARENT. Otherwise the lock is required.
Rename kernfs_node::parent to kernfs_node::__parent to denote the RCU
access and use RCU accessor while accessing the node.
Make cgroup use KERNFS_ROOT_INVARIANT_PARENT since the parent here can
not change.

may_goto uses an additional 8 bytes on the stack, which causes the
interpreters[] array to go out of bounds when calculating index by
stack_size.
1. If a BPF program is rewritten, re-evaluate the stack size. For non-JIT
cases, reject loading directly.
2. For non-JIT cases, calculating interpreters[idx] may still cause
out-of-bounds array access, and just warn about it.
3. For jit_requested cases, the execution of bpf_func also needs to be
warned. So move the definition of function __bpf_prog_ret0_warn out of
the macro definition CONFIG_BPF_JIT_ALWAYS_ON.

The meta data for a mapped ring buffer contains an array of indexes of all
the subbuffers. The first entry is the reader page, and the rest of the
entries lay out the order of the subbuffers in how the ring buffer link
list is to be created.
The validator currently makes sure that all the entries are within the
range of 0 and nr_subbufs. But it does not check if there are any
duplicates.
While working on the ring buffer, I corrupted this array, where I added
duplicates. The validator did not catch it and created the ring buffer
link list on top of it. Luckily, the corruption was only that the reader
page was also in the writer path and only presented corrupted data but did
not crash the kernel. But if there were duplicates in the writer side,
then it could corrupt the ring buffer link list and cause a crash.
Create a bitmask array with the size of the number of subbuffers. Then
clear it. When walking through the subbuf array checking to see if the
entries are within the range, test if its bit is already set in the
subbuf_mask. If it is, then there is duplicates and fail the validation.
If not, set the corresponding bit and continue.

Currently if __tracing_resize_ring_buffer() returns an error, the
tracing_resize_ringbuffer() returns -ENOMEM. But it may not be a memory
issue that caused the function to fail. If the ring buffer is memory
mapped, then the resizing of the ring buffer will be disabled. But if the
user tries to resize the buffer, it will get an -ENOMEM returned, which is
confusing because there is plenty of memory. The actual error returned was
-EBUSY, which would make much more sense to the user.

introduces a 'sleeping in atomic context' warning, as shown below:
arch/x86/kernel/tsc.c:1214 mark_tsc_unstable()
warn: sleeping in atomic context
As analyzed by Dan, the affected code path is as follows:

Let revert this change for now as {disable,enable}_sched_clock_irqtime
are used in many places, as pointed out by Sean, including the following:
The code path in clocksource_watchdog():
clocksource_watchdog()
|
-> spin_lock(&watchdog_lock);
|
-> __clocksource_unstable()
|
-> clocksource.mark_unstable() == tsc_cs_mark_unstable()
|
-> disable_sched_clock_irqtime()
And the code path in sched_clock_register():
/* Cannot register a sched_clock with interrupts on */
local_irq_save(flags);
...
/* Enable IRQ time accounting if we have a fast enough sched_clock() */
if (irqtime > 0 || (irqtime == -1 && rate >= 1000000))
enable_sched_clock_irqtime();
local_irq_restore(flags);

The old default value for slice is 0.75 msec * (1 + ilog(ncpus)) which
means that we have a default slice of:
0.75 for 1 cpu
1.50 up to 3 cpus
2.25 up to 7 cpus
3.00 for 8 cpus and above.
For HZ=250 and HZ=100, because of the tick accuracy, the runtime of
tasks is far higher than their slice.
For HZ=1000 with 8 cpus or more, the accuracy of tick is already
satisfactory, but there is still an issue that tasks will get an extra
tick because the tick often arrives a little faster than expected. In
this case, the task can only wait until the next tick to consider that it
has reached its deadline, and will run 1ms longer.
vruntime + sysctl_sched_base_slice = deadline
|-----------|-----------|-----------|-----------|
1ms 1ms 1ms 1ms
^ ^ ^ ^
tick1 tick2 tick3 tick4(nearly 4ms)
There are two reasons for tick error: clockevent precision and the
CONFIG_IRQ_TIME_ACCOUNTING/CONFIG_PARAVIRT_TIME_ACCOUNTING. with
CONFIG_IRQ_TIME_ACCOUNTING every tick will be less than 1ms, but even
without it, because of clockevent precision, tick still often less than
1ms.
In order to make scheduling more precise, we changed 0.75 to 0.70,
Using 0.70 instead of 0.75 should not change much for other configs
and would fix this issue:
0.70 for 1 cpu
1.40 up to 3 cpus
2.10 up to 7 cpus
2.8 for 8 cpus and above.
This does not guarantee that tasks can run the slice time accurately
every time, but occasionally running an extra tick has little impact.

A wakeup non-idle entity should preempt idle entity at any time,
but because of the slice protection of the idle entity, the non-idle
entity has to wait, so just cancel it.
This patch is aimed at minimizing the impact of SCHED_IDLE on
SCHED_NORMAL. For example, a task with SCHED_IDLE policy that sleeps for
1s and then runs for 3 ms, running cyclictest on the same cpu, has a
maximum latency of 3 ms, which is caused by the slice protection of the
idle entity. It is unreasonable. With this patch, the cyclictest latency
under the same conditions is basically the same on the cpu with idle
processes and on empty cpu.

A task wakeup can be either processed on the waker's CPU or bounced to the
wakee's previous CPU using an IPI (ttwu_queue). Bouncing to the wakee's CPU
avoids the waker's CPU locking and accessing the wakee's rq which can be
expensive across cache and node boundaries.
When ttwu_queue path is taken, select_task_rq() and thus ops.select_cpu()
may be skipped in some cases (racing against the wakee switching out). As
this confused some BPF schedulers, there wasn't a good way for a BPF
scheduler to tell whether idle CPU selection has been skipped, ops.enqueue()
couldn't insert tasks into foreign local DSQs, and the performance
difference on machines with simple toplogies were minimal, sched_ext
disabled ttwu_queue.
However, this optimization makes noticeable difference on more complex
topologies and a BPF scheduler now has an easy way tell whether
ops.select_cpu() was skipped since 9b671793c7 ("sched_ext, scx_qmap: Add
and use SCX_ENQ_CPU_SELECTED") and can insert tasks into foreign local DSQs
since 5b26f7b920 ("sched_ext: Allow SCX_DSQ_LOCAL_ON for direct
dispatches").
Implement SCX_OPS_ALLOW_QUEUED_WAKEUP which allows BPF schedulers to choose
to enable ttwu_queue optimization.
v2: Update the patch description and comment re. ops.select_cpu() being
skipped in some cases as opposed to always as per Neel.

Now when we use scx_bpf_task_cgroup() in ops.tick() to get the cgroup of
the current task, the following error will occur:
scx_foo[3795244] triggered exit kind 1024:
runtime error (called on a task not being operated on)
The reason is that we are using SCX_CALL_OP() instead of SCX_CALL_OP_TASK()
when calling ops.tick(), which triggers the error during the subsequent
scx_kf_allowed_on_arg_tasks() check.
SCX_CALL_OP_TASK() was first introduced in commit 36454023f5 ("sched_ext:
Track tasks that are subjects of the in-flight SCX operation") to ensure
task's rq lock is held when accessing task's sched_group. Since ops.tick()
is marked as SCX_KF_TERMINAL and task_tick_scx() is protected by the rq
lock, we can use SCX_CALL_OP_TASK() to avoid the above issue. Similarly,
the same changes should be made for ops.disable() and ops.exit_task(), as
they are also protected by task_rq_lock() and it's safe to access the
task's task_group.

In [1] it was reported that the acct(2) system call can be used to
trigger NULL deref in cases where it is set to write to a file that
triggers an internal lookup. This can e.g., happen when pointing acc(2)
to /sys/power/resume. At the point the where the write to this file
happens the calling task has already exited and called exit_fs(). A
lookup will thus trigger a NULL-deref when accessing current->fs.
Reorganize the code so that the the final write happens from the
workqueue but with the caller's credentials. This preserves the
(strange) permission model and has almost no regression risk.
This api should stop to exist though.

Pull to receive f3f08c3acf ("sched_ext: Fix incorrect assumption about
migration disabled tasks in task_can_run_on_remote_rq()") which conflicts
with 26176116d9 ("sched_ext: Count SCX_EV_DISPATCH_LOCAL_DSQ_OFFLINE in
the right spot") in for-6.15.
While fixing migration disabled task handling, 3296682157 ("sched_ext: Fix
migration disabled handling in targeted dispatches") assumed that a
migration disabled task's ->cpus_ptr would only have the pinned CPU. While
this is eventually true for migration disabled tasks that are switched out,
->cpus_ptr update is performed by migrate_disable_switch() which is called
right before context_switch() in __scheduler(). However, the task is
enqueued earlier during pick_next_task() via put_prev_task_scx(), so there
is a race window where another CPU can see the task on a DSQ.
If the CPU tries to dispatch the migration disabled task while in that
window, task_allowed_on_cpu() will succeed and task_can_run_on_remote_rq()
will subsequently trigger SCHED_WARN(is_migration_disabled()).

Fix it by converting the SCHED_WARN() back to a regular failure path. Also,
perform the migration disabled test before task_allowed_on_cpu() test so

Depending on CONFIG_HAVE_ARCH_SECCOMP_FILTER, __secure_computing(NULL)
will crash or not. This is not consistent/safe, especially considering
that after the previous change __secure_computing(sd) is always called
with sd == NULL.
Fortunately, if CONFIG_HAVE_ARCH_SECCOMP_FILTER=n, __secure_computing()
has no callers, these architectures use secure_computing_strict(). Yet
it make sense make __secure_computing(NULL) safe in this case.
Note also that with this change we can unexport secure_computing_strict()
and change the current callers to use __secure_computing(NULL).

SCX_EV_DISPATCH_LOCAL_DSQ_OFFLINE wasn't quite right in two aspects:
- It counted both migration disabled and offline events.
- It didn't count events from scx_bpf_dsq_move() path.
Fix it by moving the counting into task_can_run_on_remote_rq() which is
shared by both paths and can distinguish the different rejection conditions.

Pull to receive:
- 2fa0fbeb69 ("sched_ext: Implement auto local dispatching of migration disabled tasks")
- 3296682157 ("sched_ext: Fix migration disabled handling in targeted dispatches")
as planned for-6.15 changes depend on them (e.g. adding event counter for
implicit migration disabled task handling).
A dispatch operation that can target a specific local DSQ -
scx_bpf_dsq_move_to_local() or scx_bpf_dsq_move() - checks whether the task
can be migrated to the target CPU using task_can_run_on_remote_rq(). If the
task can't be migrated to the targeted CPU, it is bounced through a global
DSQ.
task_can_run_on_remote_rq() assumes that the task is on a CPU that's
different from the targeted CPU but the callers doesn't uphold the
assumption and may call the function when the task is already on the target
CPU. When such task has migration disabled, task_can_run_on_remote_rq() ends
up returning %false incorrectly unnecessarily bouncing the task to a global
DSQ.
Fix it by updating the callers to only call task_can_run_on_remote_rq() when
the task is on a different CPU than the target CPU. As this is a bit subtle,
for clarity and documentation:
- Make task_can_run_on_remote_rq() trigger SCHED_WARN_ON() if the task is on
the same CPU as the target CPU.
- is_migration_disabled() test in task_can_run_on_remote_rq() cannot trigger
if the task is on a different CPU than the target CPU as the preceding
task_allowed_on_cpu() test should fail beforehand. Convert the test into
SCHED_WARN_ON().

Migration disabled tasks are special and pinned to their previous CPUs. They
tripped up some unsuspecting BPF schedulers as their ->nr_cpus_allowed may
not agree with the bits set in ->cpus_ptr. Make it easier for BPF schedulers
by automatically dispatching them to the pinned local DSQs by default. If a
BPF scheduler wants to handle migration disabled tasks explicitly, it can
set SCX_OPS_ENQ_MIGRATION_DISABLED.
