IRQ: Maintain regs pointer globally rather than passing to IRQ handlers Maintain a per-CPU global "struct pt_regs *" variable which can be used instead of passing regs around manually through all ~1800 interrupt handlers in the Linux kernel. The regs pointer is used in few places, but it potentially costs both stack space and code to pass it around. On the FRV arch, removing the regs parameter from all the genirq function results in a 20% speed up of the IRQ exit path (ie: from leaving timer_interrupt() to leaving do_IRQ()). Where appropriate, an arch may override the generic storage facility and do something different with the variable. On FRV, for instance, the address is maintained in GR28 at all times inside the kernel as part of general exception handling. Having looked over the code, it appears that the parameter may be handed down through up to twenty or so layers of functions. Consider a USB character device attached to a USB hub, attached to a USB controller that posts its interrupts through a cascaded auxiliary interrupt controller. A character device driver may want to pass regs to the sysrq handler through the input layer which adds another few layers of parameter passing. I've build this code with allyesconfig for x86_64 and i386. I've runtested the main part of the code on FRV and i386, though I can't test most of the drivers. I've also done partial conversion for powerpc and MIPS - these at least compile with minimal configurations. This will affect all archs. Mostly the changes should be relatively easy. Take do_IRQ(), store the regs pointer at the beginning, saving the old one: struct pt_regs *old_regs = set_irq_regs(regs); And put the old one back at the end: set_irq_regs(old_regs); Don't pass regs through to generic_handle_irq() or __do_IRQ(). In timer_interrupt(), this sort of change will be necessary: - update_process_times(user_mode(regs)); - profile_tick(CPU_PROFILING, regs); + update_process_times(user_mode(get_irq_regs())); + profile_tick(CPU_PROFILING); I'd like to move update_process_times()'s use of get_irq_regs() into itself, except that i386, alone of the archs, uses something other than user_mode(). Some notes on the interrupt handling in the drivers: (*) input_dev() is now gone entirely. The regs pointer is no longer stored in the input_dev struct. (*) finish_unlinks() in drivers/usb/host/ohci-q.c needs checking. It does something different depending on whether it's been supplied with a regs pointer or not. (*) Various IRQ handler function pointers have been moved to type irq_handler_t.

sched/debug: Make schedstats a runtime tunable that is disabled by default schedstats is very useful during debugging and performance tuning but it incurs overhead to calculate the stats. As such, even though it can be disabled at build time, it is often enabled as the information is useful. This patch adds a kernel command-line and sysctl tunable to enable or disable schedstats on demand (when it's built in). It is disabled by default as someone who knows they need it can also learn to enable it when necessary. The benefits are dependent on how scheduler-intensive the workload is. If it is then the patch reduces the number of cycles spent calculating the stats with a small benefit from reducing the cache footprint of the scheduler. These measurements were taken from a 48-core 2-socket machine with Xeon(R) E5-2670 v3 cpus although they were also tested on a single socket machine 8-core machine with Intel i7-3770 processors. netperf-tcp 4.5.0-rc1 4.5.0-rc1 vanilla nostats-v3r1 Hmean 64 560.45 ( 0.00%) 575.98 ( 2.77%) Hmean 128 766.66 ( 0.00%) 795.79 ( 3.80%) Hmean 256 950.51 ( 0.00%) 981.50 ( 3.26%) Hmean 1024 1433.25 ( 0.00%) 1466.51 ( 2.32%) Hmean 2048 2810.54 ( 0.00%) 2879.75 ( 2.46%) Hmean 3312 4618.18 ( 0.00%) 4682.09 ( 1.38%) Hmean 4096 5306.42 ( 0.00%) 5346.39 ( 0.75%) Hmean 8192 10581.44 ( 0.00%) 10698.15 ( 1.10%) Hmean 16384 18857.70 ( 0.00%) 18937.61 ( 0.42%) Small gains here, UDP_STREAM showed nothing intresting and neither did the TCP_RR tests.

The gain is small but it stands to reason that doing less work in the scheduler is a good thing. The downside is that the lack of schedstats and tracepoints may be surprising to experts doing performance analysis until they find the existence of the schedstats= parameter or schedstats sysctl. It will be automatically activated for latencytop and sleep profiling to alleviate the problem. For tracepoints, there is a simple warning as it's not safe to activate schedstats in the context when it's known the tracepoint may be wanted but is unavailable.

profiling: fix shift too large makes kernel panic 2d186afd04d6 ("profiling: fix shift-out-of-bounds bugs") limits shift value by [0, BITS_PER_LONG -1], which means [0, 63]. However, syzbot found that the max shift value should be the bit number of (_etext - _stext). If shift is outside of this, the "buffer_bytes" will be zero and will cause kzalloc(0). Then the kernel panics due to dereferencing the returned pointer 16. This can be easily reproduced by passing a large number like 60 to enable profiling and then run readprofile.

profiling: attempt to remove per-cpu profile flip buffer This is the really old legacy kernel profiling code, which has long since been obviated by "real profiling" (ie 'prof' and company), and mainly remains as a source of syzbot reports. There are anecdotal reports that people still use it for boot-time profiling, but it's unlikely that such use would care about the old NUMA optimizations in this code from 2004 (commit ad02973d42: "profile: 512x Altix timer interrupt livelock fix" in the BK import archive at [1]) So in order to head off future syzbot reports, let's try to simplify this code and get rid of the per-cpu profile buffers that are quite a large portion of the complexity footprint of this thing (including CPU hotplug callbacks etc). It's unlikely anybody will actually notice, or possibly, as Thomas put it: "Only people who indulge in nostalgia will notice :)". That said, if it turns out that this code is actually actively used by somebody, we can always revert this removal. Thus the "attempt" in the summary line. [ Note: in a small nod to "the profiling code can cause NUMA problems", this also removes the "increment the last entry in the profiling array on any unknown hits" logic. That would account any program counter in a module to that single counter location, and might exacerbate any NUMA cacheline bouncing issues ] Link: https://lore.kernel.org/all/CAHk-=wgs52BxT4Zjmjz8aNvHWKxf5_ThBY4bYL1Y6CTaNL2dTw@mail.gmail.com/ Link: https://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/tglx/history.git [1] Cc: Thomas Gleixner <tglx@linutronix.de> Cc: Tetsuo Handa <penguin-kernel@i-love.sakura.ne.jp> Signed-off-by: Linus Torvalds <torvalds@linux-foundation.org>

IRQ: Maintain regs pointer globally rather than passing to IRQ handlers Maintain a per-CPU global "struct pt_regs *" variable which can be used instead of passing regs around manually through all ~1800 interrupt handlers in the Linux kernel. The regs pointer is used in few places, but it potentially costs both stack space and code to pass it around. On the FRV arch, removing the regs parameter from all the genirq function results in a 20% speed up of the IRQ exit path (ie: from leaving timer_interrupt() to leaving do_IRQ()). Where appropriate, an arch may override the generic storage facility and do something different with the variable. On FRV, for instance, the address is maintained in GR28 at all times inside the kernel as part of general exception handling. Having looked over the code, it appears that the parameter may be handed down through up to twenty or so layers of functions. Consider a USB character device attached to a USB hub, attached to a USB controller that posts its interrupts through a cascaded auxiliary interrupt controller. A character device driver may want to pass regs to the sysrq handler through the input layer which adds another few layers of parameter passing. I've build this code with allyesconfig for x86_64 and i386. I've runtested the main part of the code on FRV and i386, though I can't test most of the drivers. I've also done partial conversion for powerpc and MIPS - these at least compile with minimal configurations. This will affect all archs. Mostly the changes should be relatively easy. Take do_IRQ(), store the regs pointer at the beginning, saving the old one: struct pt_regs *old_regs = set_irq_regs(regs); And put the old one back at the end: set_irq_regs(old_regs); Don't pass regs through to generic_handle_irq() or __do_IRQ(). In timer_interrupt(), this sort of change will be necessary: - update_process_times(user_mode(regs)); - profile_tick(CPU_PROFILING, regs); + update_process_times(user_mode(get_irq_regs())); + profile_tick(CPU_PROFILING); I'd like to move update_process_times()'s use of get_irq_regs() into itself, except that i386, alone of the archs, uses something other than user_mode(). Some notes on the interrupt handling in the drivers: (*) input_dev() is now gone entirely. The regs pointer is no longer stored in the input_dev struct. (*) finish_unlinks() in drivers/usb/host/ohci-q.c needs checking. It does something different depending on whether it's been supplied with a regs pointer or not. (*) Various IRQ handler function pointers have been moved to type irq_handler_t.

struct pt_regs *regs = get_irq_regs();
profiling: remove prof_cpu_mask syzbot is reporting uninit-value at profile_hits(), for there is a race window between if (!alloc_cpumask_var(&prof_cpu_mask, GFP_KERNEL)) return -ENOMEM; cpumask_copy(prof_cpu_mask, cpu_possible_mask); in profile_init() and cpumask_available(prof_cpu_mask) && cpumask_test_cpu(smp_processor_id(), prof_cpu_mask)) in profile_tick(); prof_cpu_mask remains uninitialzed until cpumask_copy() completes while cpumask_available(prof_cpu_mask) returns true as soon as alloc_cpumask_var(&prof_cpu_mask) completes. We could replace alloc_cpumask_var() with zalloc_cpumask_var() and call cpumask_copy() from create_proc_profile() on only UP kernels, for profile_online_cpu() calls cpumask_set_cpu() as needed via cpuhp_setup_state(CPUHP_AP_ONLINE_DYN) on SMP kernels. But this patch removes prof_cpu_mask because it seems unnecessary. The cpumask_test_cpu(smp_processor_id(), prof_cpu_mask) test in profile_tick() is likely always true due to a CPU cannot call profile_tick() if that CPU is offline and cpumask_set_cpu(cpu, prof_cpu_mask) is called when that CPU becomes online and cpumask_clear_cpu(cpu, prof_cpu_mask) is called when that CPU becomes offline . This test could be false during transition between online and offline. But according to include/linux/cpuhotplug.h , CPUHP_PROFILE_PREPARE belongs to PREPARE section, which means that the CPU subjected to profile_dead_cpu() cannot be inside profile_tick() (i.e. no risk of use-after-free bug) because interrupt for that CPU is disabled during PREPARE section. Therefore, this test is guaranteed to be true, and can be removed. (Since profile_hits() checks prof_buffer != NULL, we don't need to check prof_buffer != NULL here unless get_irq_regs() or user_mode() is such slow that we want to avoid when prof_buffer == NULL). do_profile_hits() is called from profile_tick() from timer interrupt only if cpumask_test_cpu(smp_processor_id(), prof_cpu_mask) is true and prof_buffer is not NULL. But syzbot is also reporting that sometimes do_profile_hits() is called while current thread is still doing vzalloc(), where prof_buffer must be NULL at this moment. This indicates that multiple threads concurrently tried to write to /sys/kernel/profiling interface, which caused that somebody else try to re-allocate prof_buffer despite somebody has already allocated prof_buffer. Fix this by using serialization.
