In general, there's no need for the "restore sigmask" flag to live in ti->flags. alpha, ia64, microblaze, powerpc, sh, sparc (64-bit only), tile, and x86 use essentially identical alternative implementations, placing the flag in ti->status. Replace those optimized implementations with an equally good common implementation that stores it in a bitfield in struct task_struct and drop the custom implementations. Additional architectures can opt in by removing their TIF_RESTORE_SIGMASK defines.

oom_reaper relies on the mmap_sem for read to do its job. Many places which might block readers have been converted to use down_write_killable and that has reduced chances of the contention a lot. Some paths where the mmap_sem is held for write can take other locks and they might either be not prepared to fail due to fatal signal pending or too impractical to be changed. This patch introduces MMF_OOM_NOT_REAPABLE flag which gets set after the first attempt to reap a task's mm fails. If the flag is present after the failure then we set MMF_OOM_REAPED to hide this mm from the oom killer completely so it can go and chose another victim. As a result a risk of OOM deadlock when the oom victim would be blocked indefinetly and so the oom killer cannot make any progress should be mitigated considerably while we still try really hard to perform all reclaim attempts and stay predictable in the behavior.

vforked tasks are not really sitting on any memory. They are sharing the mm with parent until they exec into a new code. Until then it is just pinning the address space. OOM killer will kill the vforked task along with its parent but we still can end up selecting vforked task when the parent wouldn't be selected. E.g. init doing vfork to launch a task or vforked being a child of oom unkillable task with an updated oom_score_adj to be killable. Add a new helper to check whether a task is in the vfork sharing memory with its parent and use it in oom_badness to skip over these tasks.

由 Peter Zijlstra 提交于
Vincent and Yuyang found another few scenarios in which entity tracking goes wobbly. The scenarios are basically due to the fact that new tasks are not immediately attached and thereby differ from the normal situation -- a task is always attached to a cfs_rq load average (such that it includes its blocked contribution) and are explicitly detached/attached on migration to another cfs_rq. Scenario 1: switch to fair class p->sched_class = fair_class; if (queued) enqueue_task(p); ... enqueue_entity() enqueue_entity_load_avg() migrated = !sa->last_update_time (true) if (migrated) attach_entity_load_avg() check_class_changed() switched_from() (!fair) switched_to() (fair) switched_to_fair() attach_entity_load_avg() If @p is a new task that hasn't been fair before, it will have !last_update_time and, per the above, end up in attach_entity_load_avg() _twice_. Scenario 2: change between cgroups sched_move_group(p) if (queued) dequeue_task() task_move_group_fair() detach_task_cfs_rq() detach_entity_load_avg() set_task_rq() attach_task_cfs_rq() attach_entity_load_avg() if (queued) enqueue_task(); ... enqueue_entity() enqueue_entity_load_avg() migrated = !sa->last_update_time (true) if (migrated) attach_entity_load_avg() Similar as with scenario 1, if @p is a new task, it will have !load_update_time and we'll end up in attach_entity_load_avg() _twice_. Furthermore, notice how we do a detach_entity_load_avg() on something that wasn't attached to begin with. As stated above; the problem is that the new task isn't yet attached to the load tracking and thereby violates the invariant assumption. This patch remedies this by ensuring a new task is indeed properly attached to the load tracking on creation, through post_init_entity_util_avg(). Of course, this isn't entirely as straightforward as one might think, since the task is hashed before we call wake_up_new_task() and thus can be poked at. We avoid this by adding TASK_NEW and teaching cpu_cgroup_can_attach() to refuse such tasks.

We've had the thread info allocated together with the thread stack for most architectures for a long time (since the thread_info was split off from the task struct), but that is about to change. But the patches that move the thread info to be off-stack (and a part of the task struct instead) made it clear how confused the allocator and freeing functions are. Because the common case was that we share an allocation with the thread stack and the thread_info, the two pointers were identical. That identity then meant that we would have things like ti = alloc_thread_info_node(tsk, node); ... tsk->stack = ti; which certainly _worked_ (since stack and thread_info have the same value), but is rather confusing: why are we assigning a thread_info to the stack? And if we move the thread_info away, the "confusing" code just gets to be entirely bogus. So remove all this confusion, and make it clear that we are doing the stack allocation by renaming and clarifying the function names to be about the stack. The fact that the thread_info then shares the allocation is an implementation detail, and not really about the allocation itself. This is a pure renaming and type fix: we pass in the same pointer, it's just that we clarify what the pointer means. The ia64 code that actually only has one single allocation (for all of task_struct, thread_info and kernel thread stack) now looks a bit odd, but since "tsk->stack" is actually not even used there, that oddity doesn't matter. It would be a separate thing to clean that up, I intentionally left the ia64 changes as a pure brute-force renaming and type change.

Generally task_struct is only protected by RCU if it was found on a RCU protected list (say, for_each_process() or find_task_by_vpid()). As Kirill pointed out rq->curr isn't protected by RCU, the scheduler drops the (potentially) last reference without RCU gp, this means that we need to fix the code which uses foreign_rq->curr under rcu_read_lock(). Add a new helper which can be used to dereference rq->curr or any other pointer to task_struct assuming that it should be cleared or updated before the final put_task_struct(). It returns non-NULL only if this task can't go away before rcu_read_unlock().

Commit: b5179ac7 ("sched/fair: Prepare to fix fairness problems on migration") ... introduced a bug: Mike Galbraith found that it introduced a performance regression, while Paul E. McKenney reported lost wakeups and bisected it to this commit. The reason is that I mis-read ttwu_queue() such that I assumed any wakeup that got a remote queue must have had the task migrated. Since this is not so; we need to transfer this information between queueing the wakeup and actually doing the wakeup. Use a new task_struct::sched_flag for this, we already write to sched_contributes_to_load in the wakeup path so this is a hot and modified cacheline. Reported-by: NPaul E.

Currently the size of "struct signal_struct"->oom_flags member is sizeof(unsigned) bytes, but only one flag OOM_FLAG_ORIGIN which is updated by current thread is defined. We can convert OOM_FLAG_ORIGIN into a bool, and reuse the saved bytes for updating from the OOM killer and/or the OOM reaper thread. By the way, do we care about a race window between run_store() and swapoff() because it would be theoretically possible that two threads sharing the "struct signal_struct" concurrently call respective functions? If we care, we can make oom_flags an atomic_t.

Change userfaultfd_file_create() and userfaultfd_ctx_put() to use mm->mm_count to pin mm_struct. This means that atomic_inc_not_zero(mm->mm_users) is needed when we are going to actually play with this memory. Except handle_userfault() path doesn't need this, the caller must already have a reference. The patch adds the new trivial helper, mmget_not_zero(), it can have more users.

Since commit 3a5dda7a ("oom: prevent unnecessary oom kills or kernel panics"), select_bad_process() is using for_each_process_thread(). Since oom_unkillable_task() scans all threads in the caller's thread group and oom_task_origin() scans signal_struct of the caller's thread group, we don't need to call oom_unkillable_task() and oom_task_origin() on each thread. Also, since !mm test will be done later at oom_badness(), we don't need to do !mm test on each thread. Therefore, we only need to do TIF_MEMDIE test on each thread. Although the original code was correct it was quite inefficient because each thread group was scanned num_threads times which can be a lot especially with processes with many threads. Even though the OOM is extremely cold path it is always good to be as effective as possible when we are inside rcu_read_lock() - aka unpreemptible context. If we track number of TIF_MEMDIE threads inside signal_struct, we don't need to do TIF_MEMDIE test on each thread. This will allow select_bad_process() to use for_each_process(). This patch adds a counter to signal_struct for tracking how many TIF_MEMDIE threads are in a given thread group, and check it at oom_scan_process_thread() so that select_bad_process() can use for_each_process() rather than for_each_process_thread().

Tetsuo has properly noted that mmput slow path might get blocked waiting for another party (e.g. exit_aio waits for an IO). If that happens the oom_reaper would be put out of the way and will not be able to process next oom victim. We should strive for making this context as reliable and independent on other subsystems as much as possible. Introduce mmput_async which will perform the slow path from an async (WQ) context. This will delay the operation but that shouldn't be a problem because the oom_reaper has reclaimed the victim's address space for most cases as much as possible and the remaining context shouldn't bind too much memory anymore. The only exception is when mmap_sem trylock has failed which shouldn't happen too often. The issue is only theoretical but not impossible.

Commit 36324a99 ("oom: clear TIF_MEMDIE after oom_reaper managed to unmap the address space") not only clears TIF_MEMDIE for oom reaped task but also set OOM_SCORE_ADJ_MIN for the target task to hide it from the oom killer. This works in simple cases but it is not sufficient for (unlikely) cases where the mm is shared between independent processes (as they do not share signal struct). If the mm had only small amount of memory which could be reaped then another task sharing the mm could be selected and that wouldn't help to move out from the oom situation. Introduce MMF_OOM_REAPED mm flag which is checked in oom_badness (same as OOM_SCORE_ADJ_MIN) and task is skipped if the flag is set. Set the flag after __oom_reap_task is done with a task. This will force the select_bad_process() to ignore all already oom reaped tasks as well as no such task is sacrificed for its parent.

Integer metric needs fixed point arithmetic. In sched/fair, a few metrics, e.g., weight, load, load_avg, util_avg, freq, and capacity, may have different fixed point ranges, which makes their update and usage error-prone. In order to avoid the errors relating to the fixed point range, we definie a basic fixed point range, and then formalize all metrics to base on the basic range. The basic range is 1024 or (1 << 10). Further, one can recursively apply the basic range to have larger range. Pointed out by Ben Segall, weight (visible to user, e.g., NICE-0 has 1024) and load (e.g., NICE_0_LOAD) have independent ranges, but they must be well calibrated.

If a signal stack is set up with SS_AUTODISARM, then the kernel inherently avoids incorrectly resetting the signal stack if signals recurse: the signal stack will be reset on the first signal delivery. This means that we don't need check the stack pointer when delivering signals if SS_AUTODISARM is set. This will make segmented x86 programs more robust: currently there's a hole that could be triggered if ESP/RSP appears to point to the signal stack but actually doesn't due to a nonzero SS base.

This patch implements the SS_AUTODISARM flag that can be OR-ed with SS_ONSTACK when forming ss_flags. When this flag is set, sigaltstack will be disabled when entering the signal handler; more precisely, after saving sas to uc_stack. When leaving the signal handler, the sigaltstack is restored by uc_stack. When this flag is used, it is safe to switch from sighandler with swapcontext(). Without this flag, the subsequent signal will corrupt the state of the switched-away sighandler. To detect the support of this functionality, one can do: err = sigaltstack(SS_DISABLE | SS_AUTODISARM); if (err && errno == EINVAL) unsupported(); Signed-off-by: NStas Sergeev <stsp@list.ru> Cc: Al Viro <viro@zeniv.linux.org.uk> Cc: Aleksa Sarai <cyphar@cyphar.com> Cc: Amanieu d'Antras <amanieu@gmail.com> Cc: Andrea Arcangeli <aarcange@redhat.com> Cc: Andrew Morton <akpm@linux-foundation.org> Cc: Andy Lutomirski <luto@amacapital.net> Cc: Borislav Petkov <bp@alien8.de> Cc: Brian Gerst <brgerst@gmail.com> Cc: Denys Vlasenko <dvlasenk@redhat.com> Cc: Eric W.

Ticks can happen while the CPU is in dynticks-idle or dynticks-singletask mode. In fact "nohz" or "dynticks" only mean that we exit the periodic mode and we try to minimize the ticks as much as possible. The nohz subsystem uses a confusing terminology with the internal state "ts->tick_stopped" which is also available through its public interface with tick_nohz_tick_stopped(). This is a misnomer as the tick is instead reduced with the best effort rather than stopped. In the best case the tick can indeed be actually stopped but there is no guarantee about that. If a timer needs to fire one second later, a tick will fire while the CPU is in nohz mode and this is a very common scenario. Now this confusion happens to be a problem with CPU load updates: cpu_load_update_active() doesn't handle nohz ticks correctly because it assumes that ticks are completely stopped in nohz mode and that cpu_load_update_active() can't be called in dynticks mode. When that happens, the whole previous tickless load is ignored and the function just records the load for the current tick, ignoring potentially long idle periods behind. In order to solve this, we could account the current load for the previous nohz time but there is a risk that we account the load of a task that got freshly enqueued for the whole nohz period. So instead, lets record the dynticks load on nohz frame entry so we know what to record in case of nohz ticks, then use this record to account the tickless load on nohz ticks and nohz frame end.

The CPU load update related functions have a weak naming convention currently, starting with update_cpu_load_*() which isn't ideal as "update" is a very generic concept.

The local_clock/cpu_clock functions were changed to prevent a double identical test with sched_clock_cpu() when HAVE_UNSTABLE_SCHED_CLOCK is set. That resulted in one line functions. As these functions are in all the cases one line functions and in the hot path, it is useful to specify them as static inline in order to give a strong hint to the compiler. After verification, it appears the compiler does not inline them without this hint. Change those functions to static inline. sched_clock_cpu() is called via the inlined local_clock()/cpu_clock() functions from sched.h. So any module code including sched.h will reference sched_clock_cpu(). Thus it must be exported with the EXPORT_SYMBOL_GPL macro.

Currently, lowmemorykiller (LMK) is using TIF_MEMDIE for two purposes. One is to remember processes killed by LMK, and the other is to accelerate termination of processes killed by LMK. But since LMK is invoked as a memory shrinker function, there still should be some memory available. It is very likely that memory allocations by processes killed by LMK will succeed without using ALLOC_NO_WATERMARKS via TIF_MEMDIE. Even if their allocations cannot escape from memory allocation loop unless they use ALLOC_NO_WATERMARKS, lowmem_deathpending_timeout can guarantee forward progress by choosing next victim process. On the other hand, mark_oom_victim() assumes that it must be called with oom_lock held and it must not be called after oom_killer_disable() was called. But LMK is calling it without holding oom_lock and checking oom_killer_disabled. It is possible that LMK calls mark_oom_victim() due to allocation requests by kernel threads after current thread returned from oom_killer_disabled(). This will break synchronization for PM/suspend. This patch introduces per a task_struct flag for remembering processes killed by LMK, and replaces TIF_MEMDIE with that flag. By applying this patch, assumption by mark_oom_victim() becomes true.

The tick dependency mask was intially unsigned long because this is the type on which clear_bit() operates on and fetch_or() accepts it. But now that we have atomic_fetch_or(), we can instead use atomic_andnot() to clear the bit.

wake_oom_reaper has allowed only 1 oom victim to be queued. The main reason for that was the simplicity as other solutions would require some way of queuing. The current approach is racy and that was deemed sufficient as the oom_reaper is considered a best effort approach to help with oom handling when the OOM victim cannot terminate in a reasonable time. The race could lead to missing an oom victim which can get stuck out_of_memory wake_oom_reaper cmpxchg // OK oom_reaper oom_reap_task __oom_reap_task oom_victim terminates atomic_inc_not_zero // fail out_of_memory wake_oom_reaper cmpxchg // fails task_to_reap = NULL This race requires 2 OOM invocations in a short time period which is not very likely but certainly not impossible. E.g. the original victim might have not released a lot of memory for some reason. The situation would improve considerably if wake_oom_reaper used a more robust queuing. This is what this patch implements. This means adding oom_reaper_list list_head into task_struct (eat a hole before embeded thread_struct for that purpose) and a oom_reaper_lock spinlock for queuing synchronization. wake_oom_reaper will then add the task on the queue and oom_reaper will dequeue it.

kcov provides code coverage collection for coverage-guided fuzzing (randomized testing). Coverage-guided fuzzing is a testing technique that uses coverage feedback to determine new interesting inputs to a system. A notable user-space example is AFL (http://lcamtuf.coredump.cx/afl/). However, this technique is not widely used for kernel testing due to missing compiler and kernel support. kcov does not aim to collect as much coverage as possible. It aims to collect more or less stable coverage that is function of syscall inputs. To achieve this goal it does not collect coverage in soft/hard interrupts and instrumentation of some inherently non-deterministic or non-interesting parts of kernel is disbled (e.g. scheduler, locking). Currently there is a single coverage collection mode (tracing), but the API anticipates additional collection modes. Initially I also implemented a second mode which exposes coverage in a fixed-size hash table of counters (what Quentin used in his original patch). I've dropped the second mode for simplicity. This patch adds the necessary support on kernel side. The complimentary compiler support was added in gcc revision 231296. We've used this support to build syzkaller system call fuzzer, which has found 90 kernel bugs in just 2 months: https://github.com/google/syzkaller/wiki/Found-Bugs We've also found 30+ bugs in our internal systems with syzkaller. Another (yet unexplored) direction where kcov coverage would greatly help is more traditional "blob mutation". For example, mounting a random blob as a filesystem, or receiving a random blob over wire. Why not gcov. Typical fuzzing loop looks as follows: (1) reset coverage, (2) execute a bit of code, (3) collect coverage, repeat. A typical coverage can be just a dozen of basic blocks (e.g. an invalid input). In such context gcov becomes prohibitively expensive as reset/collect coverage steps depend on total number of basic blocks/edges in program (in case of kernel it is about 2M). Cost of kcov depends only on number of executed basic blocks/edges. On top of that, kernel requires per-thread coverage because there are always background threads and unrelated processes that also produce coverage. With inlined gcov instrumentation per-thread coverage is not possible. kcov exposes kernel PCs and control flow to user-space which is insecure. But debugfs should not be mapped as user accessible. Based on a patch by Quentin Casasnovas.

This patchset introduces a /proc/<pid>/timerslack_ns interface which would allow controlling processes to be able to set the timerslack value on other processes in order to save power by avoiding wakeups (Something Android currently does via out-of-tree patches). The first patch tries to fix the internal timer_slack_ns usage which was defined as a long, which limits the slack range to ~4 seconds on 32bit systems. It converts it to a u64, which provides the same basically unlimited slack (500 years) on both 32bit and 64bit machines. The second patch introduces the /proc/<pid>/timerslack_ns interface which allows the full 64bit slack range for a task to be read or set on both 32bit and 64bit machines. With these two patches, on a 32bit machine, after setting the slack on bash to 10 seconds: $ time sleep 1 real 0m10.747s user 0m0.001s sys 0m0.005s The first patch is a little ugly, since I had to chase the slack delta arguments through a number of functions converting them to u64s. Let me know if it makes sense to break that up more or not. Other than that things are fairly straightforward. This patch (of 2): The timer_slack_ns value in the task struct is currently a unsigned long. This means that on 32bit applications, the maximum slack is just over 4 seconds. However, on 64bit machines, its much much larger (~500 years). This disparity could make application development a little (as well as the default_slack) to a u64. This means both 32bit and 64bit systems have the same effective internal slack range. Now the existing ABI via PR_GET_TIMERSLACK and PR_SET_TIMERSLACK specify the interface as a unsigned long, so we preserve that limitation on 32bit systems, where SET_TIMERSLACK can only set the slack to a unsigned long value, and GET_TIMERSLACK will return ULONG_MAX if the slack is actually larger then what can be stored by an unsigned long. This patch also modifies hrtimer functions which specified the slack delta as a unsigned long.

Also move the definition of struct update_util_data and declaration of cpufreq_set_update_util_data() from include/linux/cpufreq.h to include/linux/sched.h. Signed-off-by: NRafael J.

The dl_new field of struct sched_dl_entity is currently used to identify new deadline tasks, so that their deadline and runtime can be properly initialised. However, these tasks can be easily identified by checking if their deadline is smaller than the current time when they switch to SCHED_DEADLINE. So, dl_new can be removed by introducing this check in switched_to_dl(); this allows to simplify the SCHED_DEADLINE code.
