One of the more common cases of allocation size calculations is finding
the size of a structure that has a zero-sized array at the end, along
with memory for some number of elements for that array. For example:
struct tp_probes {
...
struct tracepoint_func probes[0];
};
instance = kmalloc(sizeof(sizeof(struct tp_probes) +
sizeof(struct tracepoint_func) * count, GFP_KERNEL);
Instead of leaving these open-coded and prone to type mistakes, we can
now use the new struct_size() helper:
instance = kmalloc(struct_size(instance, probes, count) GFP_KERNEL);
This code was detected with the help of Coccinelle.

Commit c19fa94a8f ("Add HAVE_64BIT_ALIGNED_ACCESS") added the config for
architectures that required 64bit aligned access for all 64bit words. As
the ftrace ring buffer stores data on 4 byte alignment, this config option
was used to force it to store data on 8 byte alignment to make sure the data
being stored and written directly into the ring buffer was 8 byte aligned as
it would cause issues trying to write an 8 byte word on a 4 not 8 byte
aligned memory location.
But with the removal of the metag architecture, which was the only
architecture to use this, there is no architecture supported by Linux that
requires 8 byte aligne access for all 8 byte words (4 byte alignment is good
enough). Removing this config can simplify the code a bit.

Custom trampolines can only be enabled if there is only a single ops
attached to it. If there's only a single callback registered to a function,
and the ops has a trampoline registered for it, then we can call the
trampoline directly. This is very useful for improving the performance of
ftrace and livepatch.
If more than one callback is registered to a function, the general
trampoline is used, and the custom trampoline is not restored back to the
direct call even if all the other callbacks were unregistered and we are
back to one callback for the function.
To fix this, set FTRACE_FL_TRAMP flag if rec count is decremented
to one, and the ops that left has a trampoline.

The trace event self tests enable loop through *all* events, enables each
one, one at a time, runs some code to trigger various events (not
necessarily the same events), and checks if anything went wrong. The issue
is that trace events are usually the least likely start up test to cause a
problem, but they take the longest to run (because there are so many
events). When one of the other tests trigger a bug, the trace event start up
tests causes the bisect to take much longer, because it takes 10s of seconds
to get through the trace event tests.
By making them a separate config (even though they are enabled by default if
start up tests are set), it is possible to turn them off and still run the
other tracing start up tests much quicker.

Add kprobe_event= boot parameter to define kprobe events
at boot time.
The definition syntax is similar to tracefs/kprobe_events
interface, but use ',' and ';' instead of ' ' and '\n'
respectively. e.g.
kprobe_event=p,vfs_read,$arg1,$arg2
This puts a probe on vfs_read with argument1 and 2, and
enable the new event.

Initialize kprobes at postcore_initcall level instead of module_init
since kprobes is not a module, and it depends on only subsystems
initialized in core_initcall.
This will allow ftrace kprobe event to add new events when it is
initializing because ftrace kprobe event is initialized at
later initcall level.

Support user-space dereference syntax for probe event arguments
to dereference the data-structure or array in user-space.
The syntax is just adding 'u' before an offset value.
+|-u<OFFSET>(<FETCHARG>)
e.g. +u8(%ax), +u0(+0(%si))
For example, if you probe do_sched_setscheduler(pid, policy,
param) and record param->sched_priority, you can add new
probe as below;
p do_sched_setscheduler priority=+u0($arg3)
Note that kprobe event provides this and it doesn't change the
dereference method automatically because we do not know whether
the given address is in userspace or kernel on some archs.
So as same as "ustring", this is an option for user, who has to
carefully choose the dereference method.

Add "ustring" type for fetching user-space string from kprobe event.
User can specify ustring type at uprobe event, and it is same as
"string" for uprobe.
Note that probe-event provides this option but it doesn't choose the
correct type automatically since we have not way to decide the address
is in user-space or not on some arch (and on some other arch, you can
fetch the string by "string" type). So user must carefully check the
target code (e.g. if you see __user on the target variable) and
use this new type.

Starting with GCC 9, -Warray-bounds detects cases when memset is called
starting on a member of a struct but the size to be cleared ends up
writing over further members.
Such a call happens in the trace code to clear, at once, all members
after and including `seq` on struct trace_iterator:
In function 'memset',
inlined from 'ftrace_dump' at kernel/trace/trace.c:8914:3:
./include/linux/string.h:344:9: warning: '__builtin_memset' offset
[8505, 8560] from the object at 'iter' is out of the bounds of
referenced subobject 'seq' with type 'struct trace_seq' at offset
4368 [-Warray-bounds]
344 | return __builtin_memset(p, c, size);
| ^~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
In order to avoid GCC complaining about it, we compute the address
ourselves by adding the offsetof distance instead of referring
directly to the member.
Since there are two places doing this clear (trace.c and trace_kdb.c),
take the chance to move the workaround into a single place in
the internal header.

Without this check a snapshot is taken whenever a bucket's max is hit,
rather than only when the global max is hit, as it should be.
Before:
In this example, we do a first run of the workload (cyclictest),
examine the output, note the max ('triggering value') (347), then do
a second run and note the max again.
In this case, the max in the second run (39) is below the max in the
first run, but since we haven't cleared the histogram, the first max
is still in the histogram and is higher than any other max, so it
should still be the max for the snapshot. It isn't however - the
value should still be 347 after the second run.

hist_field_var_ref() is an implementation of hist_field_fn_t(), which
can be called with a null tracing_map_elt elt param when assembling a
key in event_hist_trigger().
In the case of hist_field_var_ref() this doesn't make sense, because a
variable can only be resolved by looking it up using an already
assembled key i.e. a variable can't be used to assemble a key since
the key is required in order to access the variable.
Upper layers should prevent the user from constructing a key using a
variable in the first place, but in case one slips through, it
shouldn't cause a NULL pointer dereference. Also if one does slip
through, we want to know about it, so emit a one-time warning in that
case.

Alex Xu reported a regression in strace, caused by the introduction of
the cgroup v2 freezer. The regression can be reproduced by stracing
the following simple program:
#include <unistd.h>
int main() {
write(1, "a", 1);
return 0;
}
An attempt to run strace ./a.out leads to the infinite loop:
[ pre-main omitted ]
write(1, "a", 1) = ? ERESTARTSYS (To be restarted if SA_RESTART is set)
write(1, "a", 1) = ? ERESTARTSYS (To be restarted if SA_RESTART is set)
write(1, "a", 1) = ? ERESTARTSYS (To be restarted if SA_RESTART is set)
write(1, "a", 1) = ? ERESTARTSYS (To be restarted if SA_RESTART is set)
write(1, "a", 1) = ? ERESTARTSYS (To be restarted if SA_RESTART is set)
write(1, "a", 1) = ? ERESTARTSYS (To be restarted if SA_RESTART is set)
[ repeats forever ]
The problem occurs because the traced task leaves ptrace_stop()
(and the signal handling loop) with the frozen bit set. So let's
call cgroup_leave_frozen(true) unconditionally after sleeping
in ptrace_stop().
With this patch applied, strace works as expected:
[ pre-main omitted ]
write(1, "a", 1) = 1
exit_group(0) = ?

When kernel panic happens, it will first print the panic call stack,
then the ending msg like:
[ 35.743249] ---[ end Kernel panic - not syncing: Fatal exception
[ 35.749975] ------------[ cut here ]------------
The above message are very useful for debugging.
But if system is configured to not reboot on panic, say the
"panic_timeout" parameter equals 0, it will likely print out many noisy
message like WARN() call stack for each and every CPU except the panic
one, messages like below:
WARNING: CPU: 1 PID: 280 at kernel/sched/core.c:1198 set_task_cpu+0x183/0x190
Call Trace:

try_to_wake_up

__wake_up_common
__wake_up_common_lock

wake_up_klogd_work_func
irq_work_run_list
irq_work_tick
update_process_times
tick_sched_timer
__hrtimer_run_queues
hrtimer_interrupt
smp_apic_timer_interrupt
apic_timer_interrupt
For people working in console mode, the screen will first show the panic
call stack, but immediately overridden by these noisy extra messages,
which makes debugging much more difficult, as the original context gets
lost on screen.
Also these noisy messages will confuse some users, as I have seen many bug
reporters posted the noisy message into bugzilla, instead of the real
panic call stack and context.
Adding a flag "suppress_printk" which gets set in panic() to avoid those
noisy messages, without changing current kernel behavior that both panic
blinking and sysrq magic key can work as is, suggested by Petr Mladek.
To verify this, make sure kernel is not configured to reboot on panic and
in console
# echo c > /proc/sysrq-trigger
to see if console only prints out the panic call stack.

LLVM uses profiling data that's deliberately similar to GCC, but has a
very different way of exporting that data. LLVM calls llvm_gcov_init()
once per module, and provides a couple of callbacks that we can use to
ask for more data.
We care about the "writeout" callback, which in turn calls back into
compiler-rt/this module to dump all the gathered coverage data to disk:
llvm_gcda_start_file()
llvm_gcda_emit_function()
llvm_gcda_emit_arcs()
llvm_gcda_emit_function()
llvm_gcda_emit_arcs()
[... repeats for each function ...]
llvm_gcda_summary_info()
llvm_gcda_end_file()
This design is much more stateless and unstructured than gcc's, and is
intended to run at process exit. This forces us to keep some local
state about which module we're dealing with at the moment. On the other
hand, it also means we don't depend as much on how LLVM represents
profiling data internally.
See LLVM's lib/Transforms/Instrumentation/GCOVProfiling.cpp for more
details on how this works, particularly GCOVProfiler::emitProfileArcs(),
GCOVProfiler::insertCounterWriteout(), and GCOVProfiler::insertFlush().

Today, proc_do_large_bitmap() truncates a large write input buffer to
PAGE_SIZE - 1, which may result in misparsed numbers at the (truncated)
end of the buffer. Further, it fails to notify the caller that the
buffer was truncated, so it doesn't get called iteratively to finish the
entire input buffer.
Tell the caller if there's more work to do by adding the skipped amount
back to left/*lenp before returning.
To fix the misparsing, reset the position if we have completely consumed
a truncated buffer (or if just one char is left, which may be a "-" in a
range), and ask the caller to come back for more.

1. In latencytop source codes, we only have such calling chain:
account_scheduler_latency(struct task_struct *task, int usecs, int inter)
{
if (unlikely(latencytop_enabled)) /* the outtermost check */
__account_scheduler_latency(task, usecs, inter);
}
__account_scheduler_latency
account_global_scheduler_latency
if (!latencytop_enabled)
So, the inner check for latencytop_enabled is not necessary at all.
2. In clear_all_latency_tracing and now is called
clear_tsk_latency_tracing the check for latencytop_enabled is redundant
and buggy to some extent.
We have no reason to refuse clearing the /proc/$pid/latency if
latencytop_enabled is set to 0, considering that if we use latencytop
manually by echo 0 > /proc/sys/kernel/latencytop, then we want to clear
/proc/$pid/latency and failed.
Also we don't have such check in brother function
clear_global_latency_tracing.
Notes: These changes are only visible to users who set
CONFIG_LATENCYTOP and won't change user tool latencytop's behavior.

By design notifiers can be registerd once only, 2nd register attempt
called by mistake silently corrupts notifiers list.
A few years ago I investigated described problem, the host was power
cycled because of notifier list corruption. I've prepared this patch
and applied it to the OpenVZ kernel and sent this patch but nobody
commented on it. Later it helped us to detect a similar problem in the
OpenVz kernel.
Mistakes with notifier registration can happen for example during
subsystem initialization from different namespaces, or because of a lost
unregister in the roll-back path on initialization failures.
The proposed check cannot prevent the described problem, however it
allows us to detect its reason quickly without coredump analysis.

Psi monitor aims to provide a low-latency short-term pressure detection
mechanism configurable by users. It allows users to monitor psi metrics
growth and trigger events whenever a metric raises above user-defined
threshold within user-defined time window.
Time window and threshold are both expressed in usecs. Multiple psi
resources with different thresholds and window sizes can be monitored
concurrently.
Psi monitors activate when system enters stall state for the monitored
psi metric and deactivate upon exit from the stall state. While system
is in the stall state psi signal growth is monitored at a rate of 10
times per tracking window. Min window size is 500ms, therefore the min
monitoring interval is 50ms. Max window size is 10s with monitoring
interval of 1s.
When activated psi monitor stays active for at least the duration of one
tracking window to avoid repeated activations/deactivations when psi
signal is bouncing.
Notifications to the users are rate-limited to one per tracking window.

Patch series "psi: pressure stall monitors", v6.
This is a respin of:
https://lwn.net/ml/linux-kernel/20190308184311.144521-1-surenb%40google.com/
Android is adopting psi to detect and remedy memory pressure that
results in stuttering and decreased responsiveness on mobile devices.
Psi gives us the stall information, but because we're dealing with
latencies in the millisecond range, periodically reading the pressure
files to detect stalls in a timely fashion is not feasible. Psi also
doesn't aggregate its averages at a high-enough frequency right now.
This patch series extends the psi interface such that users can
configure sensitive latency thresholds and use poll() and friends to be
notified when these are breached.
As high-frequency aggregation is costly, it implements an aggregation
method that is optimized for fast, short-interval averaging, and makes
the aggregation frequency adaptive, such that high-frequency updates
only happen while monitored stall events are actively occurring.
With these patches applied, Android can monitor for, and ward off,
mounting memory shortages before they cause problems for the user. For
example, using memory stall monitors in userspace low memory killer
daemon (lmkd) we can detect mounting pressure and kill less important
processes before device becomes visibly sluggish. In our memory stress
testing psi memory monitors produce roughly 10x less false positives
compared to vmpressure signals. Having ability to specify multiple
triggers for the same psi metric allows other parts of Android framework
to monitor memory state of the device and act accordingly.
The new interface is straight-forward. The user opens one of the
pressure files for writing and writes a trigger description into the
file descriptor that defines the stall state - some or full, and the
maximum stall time over a given window of time. E.g.:
/* Signal when stall time exceeds 100ms of a 1s window */
char trigger[] = "full 100000 1000000"
fd = open("/proc/pressure/memory")
write(fd, trigger, sizeof(trigger))
while (poll() >= 0) {
...
};
close(fd);
When the monitored stall state is entered, psi adapts its aggregation
frequency according to what the configured time window requires in order
to emit event signals in a timely fashion. Once the stalling subsides,
aggregation reverts back to normal.
The trigger is associated with the open file descriptor. To stop
monitoring, the user only needs to close the file descriptor and the
trigger is discarded.
Patches 1-6 prepare the psi code for polling support. Patch 7
implements the adaptive polling logic, the pressure growth detection
optimized for short intervals, and hooks up write() and poll() on the
pressure files.
The patches were developed in collaboration with Johannes Weiner.
This patch (of 7):
The psi monitoring patches will need to determine the same states as
record_times(). To avoid calculating them twice, maintain a state mask
that can be consulted cheaply. Do this in a separate patch to keep the
churn in the main feature patch at a minimum.
This adds 4-byte state_mask member into psi_group_cpu struct which
results in its first cacheline-aligned part becoming 52 bytes long. Add
explicit values to enumeration element counters that affect
psi_group_cpu struct size.
