a tasks "comm" field. But this prevented filtering on a comm field that
is within a trace event (like sched_migrate_task).
When trying to filter on when a program migrated, this change prevented
the filtering of the sched_migrate_task.
To fix this, the event fields are examined first, and then the extra fields
like "comm" and "cpu" are examined. Also, instead of testing to assign
the comm filter function based on the field's name, the generic comm field
is given a new filter type (FILTER_COMM). When this field is used to filter
the type is checked. The same is done for the cpu filter field.
Two new special filter types are added: "COMM" and "CPU". This allows users
to still filter the tasks comm for events that have "comm" as one of their
fields, in cases that users would like to filter sched_migrate_task on the
comm of the task that called the event, and not the comm of the task that
is being migrated.

tracing: Do not have 'comm' filter override event 'comm' field
Commit 9f61668073 "tracing: Allow triggers to filter for CPU ids and
process names" added a 'comm' filter that will filter events based on the
current tasks struct 'comm'. But this now hides the ability to filter events
that have a 'comm' field too. For example, sched_migrate_task trace event.
That has a 'comm' field of the task to be migrated.
echo 'comm == "bash"' > events/sched_migrate_task/filter
will now filter all sched_migrate_task events for tasks named "bash" that
migrates other tasks (in interrupt context), instead of seeing when "bash"
itself gets migrated.
This fix requires a couple of changes.
1) Change the look up order for filter predicates to look at the events
fields before looking at the generic filters.
2) Instead of basing the filter function off of the "comm" name, have the
generic "comm" filter have its own filter_type (FILTER_COMM). Test
against the type instead of the name to assign the filter function.
3) Add a new "COMM" filter that works just like "comm" but will filter based
on the current task, even if the trace event contains a "comm" field.
Do the same for "cpu" field, adding a FILTER_CPU and a filter "CPU".

When perf added a "reg" function to the function tracing event (not a
tracepoint), it caused that event to be displayed as a tracepoint and
could cause errors in tracepoint handling. That was solved by adding a
flag to ignore ftrace non-tracepoint events. But that flag was missed
when displaying events in available_events, which should only contain
tracepoint events.
This broke a documented way to enable all events with:
cat available_events > set_event
As the function non-tracepoint event would cause that to error out.
The commit here fixes that by having the available_events file not list
events that have the ignore flag set.

Pull libnvdimm fixes from Dan Williams:
- Two fixes for compatibility with the ACPI 6.1 specification.
Without these fixes multi-interface DIMMs will fail to be probed, and
address range scrub commands to find memory errors will give results
that the kernel will mis-interpret. For multi-interface DIMMs Linux
will accept either the original 6.0 implementation or 6.1.
For address range scrub we'll only support 6.1 since ACPI formalized
this DSM differently than the original example [1] implemented in
v4.2. The expectation is that production systems will only ever ship
the ACPI 6.1 address range scrub command definition.
- The wider async address range scrub work targeting 4.6 discovered
that the original synchronous implementation in 4.5 is not sizing its
return buffer correctly.
- Arnd caught that my recent fix to the size of the pfn_t flags missed
updating the flags variable used in the pmem driver.
- Toshi found that we mishandle the memremap() return value in
devm_memremap().

The recent commit 3e349507d1 ("perf: Fix perf_enable_on_exec() event
scheduling") caused this by moving task_ctx_sched_out() from before
__perf_event_mask_enable() to after it.
The overlooked consequence of that change is that task_ctx_sched_out()
would update the ctx time fields, and now __perf_event_mask_enable()
uses stale time.
In order to fix this, explicitly stop our context's time before
enabling the event(s).

Currently any ctx_sched_in() call will re-start the ctx time tracking,
this means that calls like:
ctx_sched_in(.event_type = EVENT_PINNED);
ctx_sched_in(.event_type = EVENT_FLEXIBLE);
will have a hole in their ctx time tracking. This is likely harmless
but can confuse things a little. By adding EVENT_TIME, we can have the
first ctx_sched_in() (is_active: 0 -> !0) start the time and any
further ctx_sched_in() will leave the timestamps alone.
Secondly, this allows for an early disable like:
ctx_sched_out(.event_type = EVENT_TIME);
which would update the ctx time (if the ctx is active) and any further
calls to ctx_sched_out() would not further modify the ctx time.
For ctx_sched_in() any 0 -> !0 transition will automatically include
EVENT_TIME.
For ctx_sched_out(), any transition that clears EVENT_ALL will
automatically clear EVENT_TIME.
These two rules ensure that under normal circumstances we need not
bother with EVENT_TIME and get natural ctx time behaviour.

Because event_sched_out() checks event->pending_disable _before_
actually disabling the event, it can happen that the event fires after
it checks but before it gets disabled.
This would leave event->pending_disable set and the queued irq_work
will try and process it.
However, if the event trigger was during schedule(), the event might
have been de-scheduled by the time the irq_work runs, and
perf_event_disable_local() will fail.
Fix this by checking event->pending_disable _after_ we call
event->pmu->del(). This depends on the latter being a compiler
barrier, such that the compiler does not lift the load and re-creates
the problem.

perf_install_in_context() relies upon the context switch hooks to have
scheduled in events when the IPI misses its target -- after all, if
the task has moved from the CPU (or wasn't running at all), it will
have to context switch to run elsewhere.
This however doesn't appear to be happening.
It is possible for the IPI to not happen (task wasn't running) only to
later observe the task running with an inactive context.
The only possible explanation is that the context switch hooks are not
called. Therefore put in a sync_sched() after toggling the jump_label
to guarantee all CPUs will have them enabled before we install an
event.
A simple if (0->1) sync_sched() will not in fact work, because any
further increment can race and complete before the sync_sched().
Therefore we must jump through some hoops.

Alexander reported that when the 'original' context gets destroyed, no
new clones happen.
This can happen irrespective of the ctx switch optimization, any task
can die, even the parent, and we want to continue monitoring the task
hierarchy until we either close the event or no tasks are left in the
hierarchy.
perf_event_init_context() will attempt to pin the 'parent' context
during clone(). At that point current is the parent, and since current
cannot have exited while executing clone(), its context cannot have
passed through perf_event_exit_task_context(). Therefore
perf_pin_task_context() cannot observe ctx->task == TASK_TOMBSTONE.
However, since inherit_event() does:
if (parent_event->parent)
parent_event = parent_event->parent;
it looks at the 'original' event when it does: is_orphaned_event().
This can return true if the context that contains the this event has
passed through perf_event_exit_task_context(). And thus we'll fail to
clone the perf context.
Fix this by adding a new state: STATE_DEAD, which is set by
perf_release() to indicate that the filedesc (or kernel reference) is
dead and there are no observers for our data left.
Only for STATE_DEAD will is_orphaned_event() be true and inhibit
cloning.
STATE_EXIT is otherwise preserved such that is_event_hup() remains
functional and will report when the observed task hierarchy becomes
empty.

/* NO-OP */
mutex_unlock(&ctx->mutex);

Since the event doesn't pass through perf_remove_from_context()
because perf_install_in_context() NO-OPs because the ctx is dead, and
perf_event_exit_task_context() will not observe the event because its

Solve this by revalidating ctx->task after we acquire ctx->mutex and
failing the event creation as a whole.

The ftrace:function event is only displayed for parsing the function tracer
data. It is not used to enable function tracing, and does not include an
"enable" file in its event directory.
Originally, this event was kept separate from other events because it did
not have a ->reg parameter. But perf added a "reg" parameter for its use
which caused issues, because it made the event available to functions where
it was not compatible for.
Commit 9b63776fa3 "tracing: Do not enable function event with enable"
added a TRACE_EVENT_FL_IGNORE_ENABLE flag that prevented the function event
from being enabled by normal trace events. But this commit missed keeping
the function event from being displayed by the "available_events" directory,
which is used to show what events can be enabled by set_event.
One documented way to enable all events is to:
cat available_events > set_event
But because the function event is displayed in the available_events, this
now causes an INVALID error:
cat: write error: Invalid argument

One is by Yang Shi who added a READ_ONCE_NOCHECK() to the scan of the
stack made by the stack tracer. As the stack tracer scans the entire
kernel stack, KASAN triggers seeing it as a "stack out of bounds" error.
As the scan is looking at the contents of the stack from parent functions.
The NOCHECK() tells KASAN that this is done on purpose, and is not some
kind of stack overflow.
The second fix is to the ftrace selftests, to retrieve the PID of executed
commands from the shell with "$!" and not by parsing "jobs".

Pull tracing fixes from Steven Rostedt:
"Two more small fixes.
One is by Yang Shi who added a READ_ONCE_NOCHECK() to the scan of the
stack made by the stack tracer. As the stack tracer scans the entire
kernel stack, KASAN triggers seeing it as a "stack out of bounds"
error. As the scan is looking at the contents of the stack from
parent functions. The NOCHECK() tells KASAN that this is done on
purpose, and is not some kind of stack overflow.
The second fix is to the ftrace selftests, to retrieve the PID of
executed commands from the shell with '$!' and not by parsing 'jobs'"

tracing, kasan: Silence Kasan warning in check_stack of stack_tracer
ftracetest: Fix instance test to use proper shell command for pids
Currently, when we pass a buffer from the eBPF stack into a helper
function, the function proto indicates argument types as ARG_PTR_TO_STACK
and ARG_CONST_STACK_SIZE pair. If R<X> contains the former, then R<X+1>
must be of the latter type. Then, verifier checks whether the buffer
points into eBPF stack, is initialized, etc. The verifier also guarantees
that the constant value passed in R<X+1> is greater than 0, so helper
functions don't need to test for it and can always assume a non-NULL
initialized buffer as well as non-0 buffer size.
This patch adds a new argument types ARG_CONST_STACK_SIZE_OR_ZERO that
allows to also pass NULL as R<X> and 0 as R<X+1> into the helper function.
Such helper functions, of course, need to be able to handle these cases
internally then. Verifier guarantees that either R<X> == NULL && R<X+1> == 0
or R<X> != NULL && R<X+1> != 0 (like the case of ARG_CONST_STACK_SIZE), any
other combinations are not possible to load.
I went through various options of extending the verifier, and introducing
the type ARG_CONST_STACK_SIZE_OR_ZERO seems to have most minimal changes
needed to the verifier.

In __request_region, if a conflict with a BUSY and MUXED resource is
detected, then the caller goes to sleep and waits for the resource to be
released. A pointer on the conflicting resource is kept. At wake-up
this pointer is used as a parent to retry to request the region.
A first problem is that this pointer might well be invalid (if for
example the conflicting resource have already been freed). Another
problem is that the next call to __request_region() fails to detect a
remaining conflict. The previously conflicting resource is passed as a
parameter and __request_region() will look for a conflict among the
children of this resource and not at the resource itself. It is likely
to succeed anyway, even if there is still a conflict.
Instead, the parent of the conflicting resource should be passed to
__request_region().
As a fix, this patch doesn't update the parent resource pointer in the
case we have to wait for a muxed region right after.

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 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.

without explicit target CPU. The guarantee is gone now which can
break some usages in subtle ways. To flush out those cases, this
patch implements a debug feature which forces round-robin CPU
selection for all such work items.
The debug feature defaults to off and can be enabled with a kernel
parameter. The default can be flipped with a debug config option.

trumps performance.

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.
