profile: setup_profiling_timer() is moslty not implemented

2022-07-30T01:12:36+00:00

The setup_profiling_timer() is mostly un-implemented by many architectures. In many places it isn't guarded by CONFIG_PROFILE which is needed for it to be used. Make it a weak symbol in kernel/profile.c and remove the 'return -EINVAL' implementations from the kenrel. There are a couple of architectures which do return 0 from the setup_profiling_timer() function but they don't seem to do anything else with it. To keep the /proc compatibility for now, leave these for a future update or removal. On ARM, this fixes the following sparse warning: arch/arm/kernel/smp.c:793:5: warning: symbol 'setup_profiling_timer' was not declared. Should it be static?

genirq: Add and use an irq_data_update_affinity helper

2022-07-07T08:38:04+00:00

Some architectures and irqchip drivers modify the cpumask returned by irq_data_get_affinity_mask, usually by copying in to it. This is problematic for uniprocessor configurations, where the affinity mask should be constant, as it is known at compile time. Add and use a setter for the affinity mask, following the pattern of irq_data_update_effective_affinity. This allows the getter function to return a const cpumask pointer.

Pull ptrace_stop cleanups from Eric Biederman: "While looking at the ptrace problems with PREEMPT_RT and the problems Peter Zijlstra was encountering with ptrace in his freezer rewrite I identified some cleanups to ptrace_stop that make sense on their own and move make resolving the other problems much simpler. The biggest issue is the habit of the ptrace code to change task->__state from the tracer to suppress TASK_WAKEKILL from waking up the tracee. No other code in the kernel does that and it is straight forward to update signal_wake_up and friends to make that unnecessary. Peter's task freezer sets frozen tasks to a new state TASK_FROZEN and then it stores them by calling "wake_up_state(t, TASK_FROZEN)" relying on the fact that all stopped states except the special stop states can tolerate spurious wake up and recover their state. The state of stopped and traced tasked is changed to be stored in task->jobctl as well as in task->__state. This makes it possible for the freezer to recover tasks in these special states, as well as serving as a general cleanup. With a little more work in that direction I believe TASK_STOPPED can learn to tolerate spurious wake ups and become an ordinary stop state. The TASK_TRACED state has to remain a special state as the registers for a process are only reliably available when the process is stopped in the scheduler. Fundamentally ptrace needs acess to the saved register values of a task. There are bunch of semi-random ptrace related cleanups that were found while looking at these issues. One cleanup that deserves to be called out is from commit 57b6de08b5f6 ("ptrace: Admit ptrace_stop can generate spuriuos SIGTRAPs"). This makes a change that is technically user space visible, in the handling of what happens to a tracee when a tracer dies unexpectedly. According to our testing and our understanding of userspace nothing cares that spurious SIGTRAPs can be generated in that case" * tag 'ptrace_stop-cleanup-for-v5.19' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/ebiederm/user-namespace: sched,signal,ptrace: Rework TASK_TRACED, TASK_STOPPED state ptrace: Always take siglock in ptrace_resume ptrace: Don't change __state ptrace: Admit ptrace_stop can generate spuriuos SIGTRAPs ptrace: Document that wait_task_inactive can't fail ptrace: Reimplement PTRACE_KILL by always sending SIGKILL signal: Use lockdep_assert_held instead of assert_spin_locked ptrace: Remove arch_ptrace_attach ptrace/xtensa: Replace PT_SINGLESTEP with TIF_SINGLESTEP ptrace/um: Replace PT_DTRACE with TIF_SINGLESTEP signal: Replace __group_send_sig_info with send_signal_locked signal: Rename send_signal send_signal_locked

Pull kthread updates from Eric Biederman: "This updates init and user mode helper tasks to be ordinary user mode tasks. Commit 40966e316f86 ("kthread: Ensure struct kthread is present for all kthreads") caused init and the user mode helper threads that call kernel_execve to have struct kthread allocated for them. This struct kthread going away during execve in turned made a use after free of struct kthread possible. Here, commit 343f4c49f243 ("kthread: Don't allocate kthread_struct for init and umh") is enough to fix the use after free and is simple enough to be backportable. The rest of the changes pass struct kernel_clone_args to clean things up and cause the code to make sense. In making init and the user mode helpers tasks purely user mode tasks I ran into two complications. The function task_tick_numa was detecting tasks without an mm by testing for the presence of PF_KTHREAD. The initramfs code in populate_initrd_image was using flush_delayed_fput to ensuere the closing of all it's file descriptors was complete, and flush_delayed_fput does not work in a userspace thread. I have looked and looked and more complications and in my code review I have not found any, and neither has anyone else with the code sitting in linux-next" * tag 'kthread-cleanups-for-v5.19' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/ebiederm/user-namespace: sched: Update task_tick_numa to ignore tasks without an mm fork: Stop allowing kthreads to call execve fork: Explicitly set PF_KTHREAD init: Deal with the init process being a user mode process fork: Generalize PF_IO_WORKER handling fork: Explicity test for idle tasks in copy_thread fork: Pass struct kernel_clone_args into copy_thread kthread: Don't allocate kthread_struct for init and umh

arch/ia64: replace cpumask_weight with cpumask_empty where appropriate

2022-06-03T13:52:57+00:00

setup_arch() calls cpumask_weight() to check if any bit of a given cpumask is set. We can do it more efficiently with cpumask_empty() because cpumask_empty() stops traversing the cpumask as soon as it finds first set bit, while cpumask_weight() counts all bits unconditionally.
