stackid is a 32-bit integer handle that can be further combined with

Remove the ftrace module notifier in favor of directly calling
ftrace_module_enable() and ftrace_release_mod() in the module loader.
Hard-coding the function calls directly in the module loader removes
dependence on the module notifier call chain and provides better
visibility and control over what gets called when, which is important
to kernel utilities such as livepatch.
This fixes a notifier ordering issue in which the ftrace module notifier
(and hence ftrace_module_enable()) for coming modules was being called
after klp_module_notify(), which caused livepatch modules to initialize
incorrectly. This patch removes dependence on the module notifier call
chain in favor of hard coding the corresponding function calls in the
module loader. This ensures that ftrace and livepatch code get called in
the correct order on patch module load and unload.

When dealing with key handling for shared futexes, we can drastically reduce
the usage/need of the page lock. 1) For anonymous pages, the associated futex
object is the mm_struct which does not require the page lock. 2) For inode
based, keys, we can check under RCU read lock if the page mapping is still
valid and take reference to the inode. This just leaves one rare race that
requires the page lock in the slow path when examining the swapcache.
Additionally realtime users currently have a problem with the page lock being
contended for unbounded periods of time during futex operations.
Task A
get_futex_key()
lock_page()
---> preempted
Now any other task trying to lock that page will have to wait until
task A gets scheduled back in, which is an unbound time.
With this patch, we pretty much have a lockless futex_get_key().
Experiments show that this patch can boost/speedup the hashing of shared
futexes with the perf futex benchmarks (which is good for measuring such
change) by up to 45% when there are high (> 100) thread counts on a 60 core
Westmere. Lower counts are pretty much in the noise range or less than 10%,
but mid range can be seen at over 30% overall throughput (hash ops/sec).
This makes anon-mem shared futexes much closer to its private counterpart.

If CPU_DOWN_PREPARE fails the perf hotplug notifier is called for
CPU_DOWN_FAILED and calls perf_event_init_cpu(), which checks whether the
swhash is referenced. If yes it allocates a new hash and stores the pointer in
the per cpu data structure.
But at this point the cpu is still online, so there must be a valid hash
already. By overwriting the pointer the existing hash is not longer
accessible.

Introduce the ability to create new cgroup namespace. The newly created
cgroup namespace remembers the cgroup of the process at the point
of creation of the cgroup namespace (referred as cgroupns-root).
The main purpose of cgroup namespace is to virtualize the contents
of /proc/self/cgroup file. Processes inside a cgroup namespace
are only able to see paths relative to their namespace root
(unless they are moved outside of their cgroupns-root, at which point
they will see a relative path from their cgroupns-root).
For a correctly setup container this enables container-tools
(like libcontainer, lxc, lmctfy, etc.) to create completely virtualized
containers without leaking system level cgroup hierarchy to the task.
This patch only implements the 'unshare' part of the cgroupns.

When ctx access is used, the kernel often needs to expand/rewrite
instructions, so after that patching, branch offsets have to be
adjusted for both forward and backward jumps in the new eBPF program,
but for backward jumps it fails to account the delta. Meaning, for
example, if the expansion happens exactly on the insn that sits at
the jump target, it doesn't fix up the back jump offset.
Analysis on what the check in adjust_branches() is currently doing:
/* adjust offset of jmps if necessary */
if (i < pos && i + insn->off + 1 > pos)
insn->off += delta;
else if (i > pos && i + insn->off + 1 < pos)
insn->off -= delta;
First condition (forward jumps):
Before: After:
insns[0] insns[0]
insns[1] <--- i/insn insns[1] <--- i/insn
insns[2] <--- pos insns[P] <--- pos
insns[3] insns[P] `------| delta
insns[4] <--- target_X insns[P] `-----|
insns[5] insns[3]
insns[4] <--- target_X
insns[5]
First case is if we cross pos-boundary and the jump instruction was
before pos. This is handeled correctly. I.e. if i == pos, then this
would mean our jump that we currently check was the patchlet itself
that we just injected. Since such patchlets are self-contained and
have no awareness of any insns before or after the patched one, the
delta is correctly not adjusted. Also, for the second condition in
case of i + insn->off + 1 == pos, means we jump to that newly patched
instruction, so no offset adjustment are needed. That part is correct.
Second condition (backward jumps):
Before: After:
insns[0] insns[0]
insns[1] <--- target_X insns[1] <--- target_X
insns[2] <--- pos <-- target_Y insns[P] <--- pos <-- target_Y
insns[3] insns[P] `------| delta
insns[4] <--- i/insn insns[P] `-----|
insns[5] insns[3]
insns[4] <--- i/insn
insns[5]
Second interesting case is where we cross pos-boundary and the jump
instruction was after pos. Backward jump with i == pos would be
impossible and pose a bug somewhere in the patchlet, so the first
condition checking i > pos is okay only by itself. However, i +
insn->off + 1 < pos does not always work as intended to trigger the
adjustment. It works when jump targets would be far off where the
delta wouldn't matter. But, for example, where the fixed insn->off
before pointed to pos (target_Y), it now points to pos + delta, so
that additional room needs to be taken into account for the check.
This means that i) both tests here need to be adjusted into pos + delta,
and ii) for the second condition, the test needs to be <= as pos
itself can be a target in the backjump, too.

Revert "workqueue: make sure delayed work run in local cpu"
workqueue: skip flush dependency checks for legacy workqueues
When looking up the pool_workqueue to use for an unbound workqueue,
workqueue assumes that the target CPU is always bound to a valid NUMA
node. However, currently, when a CPU goes offline, the mapping is
destroyed and cpu_to_node() returns NUMA_NO_NODE.
This has always been broken but hasn't triggered often enough before
874bbfe600 ("workqueue: make sure delayed work run in local cpu").
After the commit, workqueue forcifully assigns the local CPU for
delayed work items without explicit target CPU to fix a different
issue. This widens the window where CPU can go offline while a
delayed work item is pending causing delayed work items dispatched
with target CPU set to an already offlined CPU. The resulting
NUMA_NO_NODE mapping makes workqueue try to queue the work item on a
NULL pool_workqueue and thus crash.
While 874bbfe600 has been reverted for a different reason making the
bug less visible again, it can still happen. Fix it by mapping
NUMA_NO_NODE to the default pool_workqueue from unbound_pwq_by_node().
This is a temporary workaround. The long term solution is keeping CPU
-> NODE mapping stable across CPU off/online cycles which is being
worked on.

This reverts commit 874bbfe600.
Workqueue used to implicity guarantee that work items queued without
explicit CPU specified are put on the local CPU. Recent changes in
timer broke the guarantee and led to vmstat breakage which was fixed
by 176bed1de5 ("vmstat: explicitly schedule per-cpu work on the CPU
we need it to run on").
vmstat is the most likely to expose the issue and it's quite possible
that there are other similar problems which are a lot more difficult
to trigger. As a preventive measure, 874bbfe600 ("workqueue: make
sure delayed work run in local cpu") was applied to restore the local
CPU guarnatee. Unfortunately, the change exposed a bug in timer code
which got fixed by 22b886dd10 ("timers: Use proper base migration in
add_timer_on()"). Due to code restructuring, the commit couldn't be
backported beyond certain point and stable kernels which only had
874bbfe600 started crashing.
The local CPU guarantee was accidental more than anything else and we
want to get rid of it anyway. As, with the vmstat case fixed,
874bbfe600 is causing more problems than it's fixing, it has been
decided to take the chance and officially break the guarantee by
reverting the commit. A debug feature will be added to force foreign
CPU assignment to expose cases relying on the guarantee and fixes for
the individual cases will be backported to stable as necessary.

The pseudo-interleaving in NUMA placement has a fundamental problem:
using hard usage thresholds to spread memory equally between nodes
can prevent workloads from converging, or keep memory "trapped" on
nodes where the workload is barely running any more.
In order for workloads to properly converge, the memory migration
should not be stopped when nodes reach parity, but instead be
distributed according to how heavily memory is used from each node.
This way memory migration and task migration reinforce each other,
instead of one putting the brakes on the other.
Remove the hard thresholds from the pseudo-interleaving code, and
instead use a more gradual policy on memory placement. This also
seems to improve convergence of workloads that do not run flat out,
but sleep in between bursts of activity.
We still want to slow down NUMA scanning and migration once a workload
has settled on a few actively used nodes, so keep the 3/4 hysteresis
in place. Keep track of whether a workload is actively running on
multiple nodes, so task_numa_migrate does a full scan of the system
for better task placement.
In the case of running 3 SPECjbb2005 instances on a 4 node system,
this code seems to result in fairer distribution of memory between
nodes, with more memory bandwidth for each instance.

: CONFIG_UBSAN_ALIGNMENT breaks x86-64 kernel with lockdep enabled, i.e.

: The problem is that ubsan callbacks use spinlocks and might be called
: before lockdep is initialized. Particularly this line in the
: reserve_ebda_region function causes problem:
:
: lowmem = *(unsigned short *)__va(BIOS_LOWMEM_KILOBYTES);
:
: If i put lockdep_init() before reserve_ebda_region call in
: x86_64_start_reservations kernel loads well.
Fix this ordering issue permanently: change lockdep so that it uses hlists
for the hash tables. Unlike a list_head, an hlist_head is in its
initialized state when it is all-zeroes, so lockdep is ready for operation
immediately upon boot - lockdep_init() need not have run.
The patch will also save some memory.
Probably lockdep_init() and lockdep_initialized can be done away with now.
