kthread_create() creates a kthread without running it yet. kthread_run()
creates a kthread and runs it.
On the other hand, kthread_create_worker() creates a kthread worker and
runs it.
This difference in behaviours is confusing. Also there is no way to
create a kthread worker and affine it using kthread_bind_mask() or
kthread_affine_preferred() before starting it.
Consolidate the behaviours and introduce kthread_run_worker[_on_cpu]()
that behaves just like kthread_run(). kthread_create_worker[_on_cpu]()
will now only create a kthread worker without starting it.

kthread_create_on_cpu() uses the CPU argument as an implicit and unique
printf argument to add to the format whereas
kthread_create_worker_on_cpu() still relies on explicitly passing the
printf arguments. This difference in behaviour is error prone and
doesn't help standardizing per-CPU kthread names.
Unify the behaviours and convert kthread_create_worker_on_cpu() to
use the printf behaviour of kthread_create_on_cpu().

Affining kthreads follow either of four existing different patterns:
1) Per-CPU kthreads must stay affine to a single CPU and never execute
relevant code on any other CPU. This is currently handled by smpboot
code which takes care of CPU-hotplug operations.
2) Kthreads that _have_ to be affine to a specific set of CPUs and can't
run anywhere else. The affinity is set through kthread_bind_mask()
and the subsystem takes care by itself to handle CPU-hotplug operations.
3) Kthreads that prefer to be affine to a specific NUMA node. That
preferred affinity is applied by default when an actual node ID is
passed on kthread creation, provided the kthread is not per-CPU and
no call to kthread_bind_mask() has been issued before the first
wake-up.
4) Similar to the previous point but kthreads have a preferred affinity
different than a node. It is set manually like any other task and
CPU-hotplug is supposed to be handled by the relevant subsystem so
that the task is properly reaffined whenever a given CPU from the
preferred affinity comes up. Also care must be taken so that the
preferred affinity doesn't cross housekeeping cpumask boundaries.
Provide a function to handle the last usecase, mostly reusing the
current node default affinity infrastructure. kthread_affine_preferred()
is introduced, to be used just like kthread_bind_mask(), right after
kthread creation and before the first wake up. The kthread is then
affine right away to the cpumask passed through the API if it has online
housekeeping CPUs. Otherwise it will be affine to all online
housekeeping CPUs as a last resort.
As with node affinity, it is aware of CPU hotplug events such that:
* When a housekeeping CPU goes up that is part of the preferred affinity
of a given kthread, the related task is re-affined to that preferred
affinity if it was previously running on the default last resort
online housekeeping set.
* When a housekeeping CPU goes down while it was part of the preferred
affinity of a kthread, the running task is migrated (or the sleeping
task is woken up) automatically by the scheduler to other housekeepers
within the preferred affinity or, as a last resort, to all
housekeepers from other nodes.

Kthreads attached to a preferred NUMA node for their task structure
allocation can also be assumed to run preferrably within that same node.
A more precise affinity is usually notified by calling
kthread_create_on_cpu() or kthread_bind[_mask]() before the first wakeup.
For the others, a default affinity to the node is desired and sometimes
implemented with more or less success when it comes to deal with hotplug
events and nohz_full / CPU Isolation interactions:
- kcompactd is affine to its node and handles hotplug but not CPU Isolation
- kswapd is affine to its node and ignores hotplug and CPU Isolation
- A bunch of drivers create their kthreads on a specific node and
don't take care about affining further.
Handle that default node affinity preference at the generic level
instead, provided a kthread is created on an actual node and doesn't
apply any specific affinity such as a given CPU or a custom cpumask to
bind to before its first wake-up.
This generic handling is aware of CPU hotplug events and CPU isolation
such that:
* When a housekeeping CPU goes up that is part of the node of a given
kthread, the related task is re-affined to that own node if it was
previously running on the default last resort online housekeeping set
from other nodes.
* When a housekeeping CPU goes down while it was part of the node of a
kthread, the running task is migrated (or the sleeping task is woken
up) automatically by the scheduler to other housekeepers within the
same node or, as a last resort, to all housekeepers from other nodes.

Make sure the kthread is sleeping in the schedule_preempt_disabled()
call before calling its handler when kthread_bind[_mask]() is called
on it. This provides a sanity check verifying that the task is not
randomly blocked later at some point within its function handler, in
which case it could be just concurrently awaken, leaving the call to
do_set_cpus_allowed() without any effect until the next voluntary sleep.
Rely on the wake-up ordering to ensure that the newly introduced "started"
field returns the expected value:
TASK A TASK B
------ ------
READ kthread->started
wake_up_process(B)
rq_lock()
...
rq_unlock() // RELEASE
schedule()
rq_lock() // ACQUIRE
// schedule task B
rq_unlock()
WRITE kthread->started
Similarly, writing kthread->started before subsequent voluntary sleeps
will be visible after calling wait_task_inactive() in
__kthread_bind_mask(), reporting potential misuse of the API.
Upcoming patches will make further use of this facility.

Using strscpy() meant that the final character in task->comm may be
non-NUL for a moment before the "string too long" truncation happens.
Instead of adding a new use of the ambiguous strncpy(), we'd want to
use memtostr_pad() which enforces being able to check at compile time
that sizes are sensible, but this requires being able to see string
buffer lengths. Instead of trying to inline __set_task_comm() (which
needs to call trace and perf functions), just open-code it. But to
make sure we're always safe, add compile-time checking like we already
do for get_task_comm().

Patch series "Improve the copy of task comm", v8.
Using {memcpy,strncpy,strcpy,kstrdup} to copy the task comm relies on the
length of task comm. Changes in the task comm could result in a
destination string that is overflow. Therefore, we should explicitly
ensure the destination string is always NUL-terminated, regardless of the
task comm. This approach will facilitate future extensions to the task
comm.
As suggested by Linus [0], we can identify all relevant code with the
following git grep command:
git grep 'memcpy.*->comm\>'
git grep 'kstrdup.*->comm\>'
git grep 'strncpy.*->comm\>'
git grep 'strcpy.*->comm\>'
PATCH #2~#4: memcpy
PATCH #5~#6: kstrdup
PATCH #7: strcpy
Please note that strncpy() is not included in this series as it is being
tracked by another effort. [1]
This patch (of 7):
We want to eliminate the use of __get_task_comm() for the following
reasons:
- The task_lock() is unnecessary
Quoted from Linus [0]:
: Since user space can randomly change their names anyway, using locking
: was always wrong for readers (for writers it probably does make sense
: to have some lock - although practically speaking nobody cares there
: either, but at least for a writer some kind of race could have

Calling into kthread unparking unconditionally is mostly harmless when
the kthread is already unparked. The wake up is then simply ignored
because the target is not in TASK_PARKED state.
However if the kthread is per CPU, the wake up is preceded by a call
to kthread_bind() which expects the task to be inactive and in
TASK_PARKED state, which obviously isn't the case if it is unparked.
As a result, calling kthread_stop() on an unparked per-cpu kthread
triggers such a warning:

When analyzing a kernel waring message, Peter pointed out that there is a race
condition when the kworker is being frozen and falls into try_to_freeze() with
TASK_INTERRUPTIBLE, which could trigger a might_sleep() warning in try_to_freeze().
Although the root cause is not related to freeze()[1], it is still worthy to fix
this issue ahead.
One possible race scenario:
CPU 0 CPU 1
----- -----
// kthread_worker_fn
set_current_state(TASK_INTERRUPTIBLE);
suspend_freeze_processes()
freeze_processes
static_branch_inc(&freezer_active);
freeze_kernel_threads
pm_nosig_freezing = true;
if (work) { //false
__set_current_state(TASK_RUNNING);
} else if (!freezing(current)) //false, been frozen
freezing():
if (static_branch_unlikely(&freezer_active))
if (pm_nosig_freezing)
return true;
schedule()
}
// state is still TASK_INTERRUPTIBLE
try_to_freeze()
might_sleep() <--- warning
Fix this by explicitly set the TASK_RUNNING before entering
try_to_freeze().

Previously, when a kernel test thread crashed (e.g. NULL pointer
dereference, general protection fault), the KUnit test hanged for 30
seconds and exited with a timeout error.
Fix this issue by waiting on task_struct->vfork_done instead of the
custom kunit_try_catch.try_completion, and track the execution state by
initially setting try_result with -EINTR and only setting it to 0 if
the test passed.
Fix kunit_generic_run_threadfn_adapter() signature by returning 0
instead of calling kthread_complete_and_exit(). Because thread's exit
code is never checked, always set it to 0 to make it clear. To make
this explicit, export kthread_exit() for KUnit tests built as module.
Fix the -EINTR error message, which couldn't be reached until now.
This is tested with a following patch.

Patch series "shoot lazy tlbs (lazy tlb refcount scalability
improvement)", v7.
This series improves scalability of context switching between user and
kernel threads on large systems with a threaded process spread across a
lot of CPUs.
Discussion of v6 here:
https://lore.kernel.org/linux-mm/20230118080011.2258375-1-npiggin@gmail.com/
This patch (of 5):
Remove the special case avoiding refcounting when the mm to be used is the
same as the kernel thread's active (lazy tlb) mm. kthread_use_mm() should
not be such a performance critical path that this matters much. This
simplifies a later change to lazy tlb mm refcounting.

I was recently surprised to learn that msleep_interruptible(),
wait_for_completion_interruptible_timeout(), and related functions
simply hung when I called kthread_stop() on kthreads using them. The
solution to fixing the case with msleep_interruptible() was more simply
to move to schedule_timeout_interruptible(). Why?
The reason is that msleep_interruptible(), and many functions just like
it, has a loop like this:
while (timeout && !signal_pending(current))
timeout = schedule_timeout_interruptible(timeout);
The call to kthread_stop() woke up the thread, so schedule_timeout_
interruptible() returned early, but because signal_pending() returned
true, it went back into another timeout, which was never woken up.
This wait loop pattern is common to various pieces of code, and I
suspect that the subtle misuse in a kthread that caused a deadlock in
the code I looked at last week is also found elsewhere.
So this commit causes signal_pending() to return true when
kthread_stop() is called, by setting TIF_NOTIFY_SIGNAL.
The same also probably applies to the similar kthread_park()
functionality, but that can be addressed later, as its semantics are
slightly different.

The comments in kernel/kthread.c create a feeling that only SIGKILL is
able to terminate the creation of kernel kthreads by
kthread_create()/_on_node()/_on_cpu() APIs.
In reality, wait_for_completion_killable() might be killed by any fatal
signal that does not have a custom handler:
(!siginmask(signr, SIG_KERNEL_IGNORE_MASK|SIG_KERNEL_STOP_MASK) && \
(t)->sighand->action[(signr)-1].sa.sa_handler == SIG_DFL)
static inline void signal_wake_up(struct task_struct *t, bool resume)
{
signal_wake_up_state(t, resume ? TASK_WAKEKILL : 0);
}
static void complete_signal(int sig, struct task_struct *p, enum pid_type type)
{
[...]
/*
* Found a killable thread. If the signal will be fatal,
* then start taking the whole group down immediately.
*/
if (sig_fatal(p, sig) ...) {
if (!sig_kernel_coredump(sig)) {
[...]
do {
task_clear_jobctl_pending(t, JOBCTL_PENDING_MASK);
sigaddset(&t->pending.signal, SIGKILL);
signal_wake_up(t, 1);
} while_each_thread(p, t);
return;
}
}
}
Update the comments in kernel/kthread.c to make this more obvious.
The motivation for this change was debugging why a module initialization
failed. The module was being loaded from initrd. It "magically" failed
when systemd was switching to the real root. The clean up operations sent
SIGTERM to various pending processed that were started from initrd.

There are three sets of updates for 5.18 in the asm-generic tree:
- The set_fs()/get_fs() infrastructure gets removed for good. This
was already gone from all major architectures, but now we can
finally remove it everywhere, which loses some particularly
tricky and error-prone code.
There is a small merge conflict against a parisc cleanup, the
solution is to use their new version.
- The nds32 architecture ends its tenure in the Linux kernel. The
hardware is still used and the code is in reasonable shape, but
the mainline port is not actively maintained any more, as all
remaining users are thought to run vendor kernels that would never
be updated to a future release.
There are some obvious conflicts against changes to the removed
files.
- A series from Masahiro Yamada cleans up some of the uapi header
files to pass the compile-time checks.

When I was implementing a new per-cpu kthread cfs_migration, I found the
comm of it "cfs_migration/%u" is truncated due to the limitation of
TASK_COMM_LEN. For example, the comm of the percpu thread on CPU10~19
all have the same name "cfs_migration/1", which will confuse the user.
This issue is not critical, because we can get the corresponding CPU
from the task's Cpus_allowed. But for kthreads corresponding to other
hardware devices, it is not easy to get the detailed device info from
task comm, for example,
jbd2/nvme0n1p2-
xfs-reclaim/sdf
Currently there are so many truncated kthreads:
rcu_tasks_kthre
rcu_tasks_rude_
rcu_tasks_trace
poll_mpt3sas0_s
ext4-rsv-conver
xfs-reclaim/sd{a, b, c, ...}
xfs-blockgc/sd{a, b, c, ...}
xfs-inodegc/sd{a, b, c, ...}
audit_send_repl
ecryptfs-kthrea
vfio-irqfd-clea
jbd2/nvme0n1p2-
...
We can shorten these names to work around this problem, but it may be
not applied to all of the truncated kthreads. Take 'jbd2/nvme0n1p2-'
for example, it is a nice name, and it is not a good idea to shorten it.
One possible way to fix this issue is extending the task comm size, but
as task->comm is used in lots of places, that may cause some potential
buffer overflows. Another more conservative approach is introducing a
new pointer to store kthread's full name if it is truncated, which won't
introduce too much overhead as it is in the non-critical path. Finally
we make a dicision to use the second approach. See also the discussions
in this thread:
https://lore.kernel.org/lkml/20211101060419.4682-1-laoar.shao@gmail.com/

displayed via /proc/[pid]/comm:

Pull signal/exit/ptrace updates from Eric Biederman:
"This set of changes deletes some dead code, makes a lot of cleanups
which hopefully make the code easier to follow, and fixes bugs found
along the way.
The end-game which I have not yet reached yet is for fatal signals
that generate coredumps to be short-circuit deliverable from
complete_signal, for force_siginfo_to_task not to require changing
userspace configured signal delivery state, and for the ptrace stops
to always happen in locations where we can guarantee on all
architectures that the all of the registers are saved and available on
the stack.
Removal of profile_task_ext, profile_munmap, and profile_handoff_task
are the big successes for dead code removal this round.
A bunch of small bug fixes are included, as most of the issues
reported were small enough that they would not affect bisection so I
simply added the fixes and did not fold the fixes into the changes
they were fixing.
There was a bug that broke coredumps piped to systemd-coredump. I
dropped the change that caused that bug and replaced it entirely with
something much more restrained. Unfortunately that required some
rebasing.
Some successes after this set of changes: There are few enough calls
to do_exit to audit in a reasonable amount of time. The lifetime of
struct kthread now matches the lifetime of struct task, and the
pointer to struct kthread is no longer stored in set_child_tid. The
flag SIGNAL_GROUP_COREDUMP is removed. The field group_exit_task is
removed. Issues where task->exit_code was examined with
signal->group_exit_code should been examined were fixed.
There are several loosely related changes included because I am
cleaning up and if I don't include them they will probably get lost.

The point of using set_child_tid to hold the kthread pointer was that
it already did what is necessary. There are now restrictions on when
set_child_tid can be initialized and when set_child_tid can be used in
schedule_tail. Which indicates that continuing to use set_child_tid
to hold the kthread pointer is a bad idea.
Instead of continuing to use the set_child_tid field of task_struct
generalize the pf_io_worker field of task_struct and use it to hold
the kthread pointer.
Rename pf_io_worker (which is a void * pointer) to worker_private so
it can be used to store kthreads struct kthread pointer. Update the
kthread code to store the kthread pointer in the worker_private field.
Remove the places where set_child_tid had to be dealt with carefully
because kthreads also used it.

The exit code of kernel threads has different semantics than the
exit_code of userspace tasks. To avoid confusion and allow
the userspace implementation to change as needed move
the kernel thread exit code into struct kthread.

Today the rules are a bit iffy and arbitrary about which kernel
threads have struct kthread present. Both idle threads and thread
started with create_kthread want struct kthread present so that is
effectively all kernel threads. Make the rule that if PF_KTHREAD
and the task is running then struct kthread is present.
This will allow the kernel thread code to using tsk->exit_code
with different semantics from ordinary processes.
To make ensure that struct kthread is present for all
kernel threads move it's allocation into copy_process.
Add a deallocation of struct kthread in exec for processes
that were kernel threads.
Move the allocation of struct kthread for the initial thread
earlier so that it is not repeated for each additional idle
thread.
Move the initialization of struct kthread into set_kthread_struct
so that the structure is always and reliably initailized.
Clear set_child_tid in free_kthread_struct to ensure the kthread
struct is reliably freed during exec. The function
free_kthread_struct does not need to clear vfork_done during exec as
exec_mm_release called from exec_mmap has already cleared vfork_done.

Update complete_and_exit to call kthread_exit instead of do_exit.
Change the name to reflect this change in functionality. All of the
users of complete_and_exit are causing the current kthread to exit so
this change makes it clear what is happening.
Move the implementation of kthread_complete_and_exit from
kernel/exit.c to to kernel/kthread.c. As this function is kthread
specific it makes most sense to live with the kthread functions.
There are no functional change.

The way the per task_struct exit_code is used by kernel threads is not
quite compatible how it is used by userspace applications. The low
byte of the userspace exit_code value encodes the exit signal. While
kthreads just use the value as an int holding ordinary kernel function
exit status like -EPERM.
Add kthread_exit to clearly separate the two kinds of uses.

Pull exit cleanups from Eric Biederman:
"While looking at some issues related to the exit path in the kernel I
found several instances where the code is not using the existing
abstractions properly.
This set of changes introduces force_fatal_sig a way of sending a
signal and not allowing it to be caught, and corrects the misuse of
the existing abstractions that I found.
A lot of the misuse of the existing abstractions are silly things such
as doing something after calling a no return function, rolling BUG by
hand, doing more work than necessary to terminate a kernel thread, or
calling do_exit(SIGKILL) instead of calling force_sig(SIGKILL).
In the review a deficiency in force_fatal_sig and force_sig_seccomp
where ptrace or sigaction could prevent the delivery of the signal was
found. I have added a change that adds SA_IMMUTABLE to change that
makes it impossible to interrupt the delivery of those signals, and
allows backporting to fix force_sig_seccomp
And Arnd found an issue where a function passed to kthread_run had the
wrong prototype, and after my cleanup was failing to build."

With enabled threaded interrupts the nouveau driver reported the
following:
| Chain exists of:
| &mm->mmap_lock#2 --> &device->mutex --> &cpuset_rwsem
|
| Possible unsafe locking scenario:
|
| CPU0 CPU1
| ---- ----
| lock(&cpuset_rwsem);
| lock(&device->mutex);
| lock(&cpuset_rwsem);
| lock(&mm->mmap_lock#2);
The device->mutex is nvkm_device::mutex.
Unblocking the lockchain at `cpuset_rwsem' is probably the easiest
thing to do. Move the priority reset to the start of the newly
created thread.
