Rescuers are created when a workqueue with WQ_MEM_RECLAIM is allocated.
It typically happens during the system boot.
systemd switches the root filesystem from initrd to the booted system
during boot. It kills processes that block the switch for too long.
One of the process might be modprobe that tries to create a workqueue.
These problems are hard to reproduce. Also alloc_workqueue() does not
pass the error code. Make the debugging easier by printing an error,
similar to create_worker().

kthread_create_on_node() might get interrupted(). It is rare but realistic.
For example, when an unbound workqueue is allocated in module_init()
callback. It is done in the context of the "modprobe" process. And,
for example, systemd might kill pending processes when switching root
from initrd to the booted system.
The interrupt is a one-off event and the race might be hard to reproduce.
It is always worth printing.

The workqueue watchdog reports a lockup when there was not any progress
in the worker pool for a long time. The progress means that a pending
work item starts being proceed.
The progress is guaranteed by using idle workers or creating new workers
for pending work items.
There are several reasons why a new worker could not be created:
+ there is not enough memory
+ there is no free pool ID (IDR API)
+ the system reached PID limit
+ the process creating the new worker was interrupted
+ the last idle worker (manager) has not been scheduled for a long
time. It was not able to even start creating the kthread.
None of these failures is reported at the moment. The only clue is that
show_one_worker_pool() prints that there is a manager. It is the last
idle worker that is responsible for creating a new one. But it is not
clear if create_worker() is failing and why.
Make the debugging easier by printing errors in create_worker().
The error code is important, especially from kthread_create_on_node().
It helps to distinguish the various reasons. For example, reaching
memory limit (-ENOMEM), other system limits (-EAGAIN), or process
interrupted (-EINTR).
Use pr_once() to avoid repeating the same error every CREATE_COOLDOWN
for each stuck worker pool.
Ratelimited printk() might be better. It would help to know if the problem
remains. It would be more clear if the create_worker() errors and workqueue
stalls are related. Also old messages might get lost when the internal log
buffer is full. The problem is that printk() might touch the watchdog.
For example, see touch_nmi_watchdog() in serial8250_console_write().
It would require synchronization of the begin and length of the ratelimit
interval with the workqueue watchdog. Otherwise, the error messages
might break the watchdog. This does not look worth the complexity.

The workqueue watchdog prints a warning when there is no progress in
a worker pool. Where the progress means that the pool started processing
a pending work item.
Note that it is perfectly fine to process work items much longer.
The progress should be guaranteed by waking up or creating idle
workers.
show_one_worker_pool() prints state of non-idle worker pool. It shows
a delay since the last pool->watchdog_ts.
The timestamp is updated when a first pending work is queued in
__queue_work(). Also it is updated when a work is dequeued for
processing in worker_thread() and rescuer_thread().
The delay is misleading when there is no pending work item. In this
case it shows how long the last work item is being proceed. Show
zero instead. There is no stall if there is no pending work.

The debug files under sched/domains can take a long time to regenerate,

For every BPF_ADD/SUB involving a pointer, adjust_ptr_min_max_vals()
ensures that the resulting pointer has a constant offset if
bypass_spec_v1 is false. This is ensured by calling sanitize_check_bounds()
which in turn calls check_stack_access_for_ptr_arithmetic(). There,
-EACCESS is returned if the register's offset is not constant, thereby
rejecting the program.
In summary, an unprivileged user must never be able to create stack
pointers with a variable offset. That is also the case, because a
respective check in check_stack_write() is missing. If they were able
to create a variable-offset pointer, users could still use it in a
stack-write operation to trigger unsafe speculative behavior [1].
Because unprivileged users must already be prevented from creating
variable-offset stack pointers, viable options are to either remove
this check (replacing it with a clarifying comment), or to turn it
into a "verifier BUG"-message, also adding a similar check in
check_stack_write() (for consistency, as a second-level defense).
This patch implements the first option to reduce verifier bloat.
This check was introduced by commit 01f810ace9ed ("bpf: Allow
variable-offset stack access") which correctly notes that
"variable-offset reads and writes are disallowed (they were already
disallowed for the indirect access case) because the speculative
execution checking code doesn't support them". However, it does not
further discuss why the check in check_stack_read() is necessary.
The code which made this check obsolete was also introduced in this
commit.
I have compiled ~650 programs from the Linux selftests, Linux samples,
Cilium, and libbpf/examples projects and confirmed that none of these
trigger the check in check_stack_read() [2]. Instead, all of these
programs are, as expected, already rejected when constructing the
variable-offset pointers. Note that the check in
check_stack_access_for_ptr_arithmetic() also prints "off=%d" while the
code removed by this patch does not (the error removed does not appear
in the "verification_error" values). For reproducibility, the
repository linked includes the raw data and scripts used to create
the plot.

Now that struct bpf_cpumask is RCU safe, there's no need for this kfunc.
Rather than doing the following:
private(MASK) static struct bpf_cpumask __kptr *global;
int BPF_PROG(prog, s32 cpu, ...)
{
struct bpf_cpumask *cpumask;
bpf_rcu_read_lock();
cpumask = bpf_cpumask_kptr_get(&global);
if (!cpumask) {
bpf_rcu_read_unlock();
return -1;
}
bpf_cpumask_setall(cpumask);
...
bpf_cpumask_release(cpumask);
bpf_rcu_read_unlock();
}
Programs can instead simply do (assume same global cpumask):
int BPF_PROG(prog, ...)
{
struct bpf_cpumask *cpumask;
bpf_rcu_read_lock();
cpumask = global;
if (!cpumask) {
bpf_rcu_read_unlock();
return -1;
}
bpf_cpumask_setall(cpumask);
...
bpf_rcu_read_unlock();
}
In other words, no extra atomic acquire / release, and less boilerplate
code.
This patch removes both the kfunc, as well as its selftests and
documentation.

The struct bpf_cpumask type uses the bpf_mem_cache_{alloc,free}() APIs
to allocate and free its cpumasks. The bpf_mem allocator may currently
immediately reuse some memory when its freed, without waiting for an RCU
read cycle to elapse. We want to be able to treat struct bpf_cpumask
objects as completely RCU safe.
This is necessary for two reasons:
1. bpf_cpumask_kptr_get() currently does an RCU-protected
refcnt_inc_not_zero(). This of course assumes that the underlying
memory is not reused, and is therefore unsafe in its current form.
2. We want to be able to get rid of bpf_cpumask_kptr_get() entirely, and
intead use the superior kptr RCU semantics now afforded by the
verifier.
This patch fixes (1), and enables (2), by making struct bpf_cpumask RCU
safe. A subsequent patch will update the verifier to allow struct
bpf_cpumask * pointers to be passed to KF_RCU kfuncs, and then a latter
patch will remove bpf_cpumask_kptr_get().

This resolves two problems with attachment of fentry/fexit/fmod_ret/lsm
to functions located in modules:
1. The verifier tries to find the address to attach to in kallsyms. This
is always done by searching the entire kallsyms, not respecting the
module in which the function is located. Such approach causes an
incorrect attachment address to be computed if the function to attach
to is shadowed by a function of the same name located earlier in
kallsyms.
2. If the address to attach to is located in a module, the module
reference is only acquired in register_fentry. If the module is
unloaded between the place where the address is found
(bpf_check_attach_target in the verifier) and register_fentry, it is
possible that another module is loaded to the same address which may
lead to potential errors.
Since the attachment must contain the BTF of the program to attach to,
we extract the module from it and search for the function address in the
correct module (resolving problem no. 1). Then, the module reference is
taken directly in bpf_check_attach_target and stored in the bpf program
(in bpf_prog_aux). The reference is only released when the program is
unloaded (resolving problem no. 2).

In general, if swiotlb is sufficient, the logic of index =
wrap_area_index(mem, index + 1) is fine, it will quickly take a slot and
release the area->lock; But if swiotlb is insufficient and the device
has min_align_mask requirements, such as NVME, we may not be able to
satisfy index == wrap and exit the loop properly. In this case, other
kernel threads will not be able to acquire the area->lock and release
the slot, resulting in a deadlock.
The current implementation of wrap_area_index does not involve a modulo
operation, so adjusting the wrap to ensure the loop ends is not trivial.
Introduce a new variable to record the number of loops and exit the loop
after completing the traversal.

The getaffinity() system call uses 'cpumask_size()' to decide how big
the CPU mask is - so far so good. It is indeed the allocation size of a
cpumask.
But the code also assumes that the whole allocation is initialized
without actually doing so itself. That's wrong, because we might have
fixed-size allocations (making copying and clearing more efficient), but
not all of it is then necessarily used if 'nr_cpu_ids' is smaller.
Having checked other users of 'cpumask_size()', they all seem to be ok,
either using it purely for the allocation size, or explicitly zeroing
the cpumask before using the size in bytes to copy it.
See for example the ublk_ctrl_get_queue_affinity() function that uses
the proper 'zalloc_cpumask_var()' to make sure that the whole mask is
cleared, whether the storage is on the stack or if it was an external
allocation.
Fix this by just zeroing the allocation before using it. Do the same
for the compat version of sched_getaffinity(), which had the same logic.
Also, for consistency, make sched_getaffinity() use 'cpumask_bits()' to
access the bits. For a cpumask_var_t, it ends up being a pointer to the
same data either way, but it's just a good idea to treat it like you
would a 'cpumask_t'. The compat case already did that.

exit_task_namespace(), which semantically makes sense. Given that the only
way to get this behavior is through BPF programs, it seems safe but let's
see what others think.

For multithreaded jobs the computed chunk size is rounded up by the
caller-specified alignment. However, the number of worker threads to
use is computed using the minimum chunk size without taking alignment
into account. A sufficiently large alignment value can result in too
many worker threads being allocated for the job.

This happens because the call to __bpf_obj_drop_impl I added in the patch
adding support for stashing local kptrs doesn't disable migration. Prior
to that patch, __bpf_obj_drop_impl logic only ran when called by a BPF
progarm, whereas now it can be called from map free path, so it's
necessary to explicitly disable migration.
Also, refactor a bit to just call __bpf_obj_drop_impl directly instead
of bothering w/ dtor union and setting pointer-to-obj_drop.

Each vhost device gets a thread that is used to perform IO and management
operations. Instead of a thread that is accessing a device, the thread is
part of the device, so when it creates a thread using a helper based on
copy_process we can't dup or clone the parent's files/FDS because it
would do an extra increment on ourself.
Later, when we do:
Qemu process exits:
do_exit -> exit_files -> put_files_struct -> close_files
we would leak the device's resources because of that extra refcount
on the fd or file_struct.
This patch adds a no_files option so these worker threads can prevent
taking an extra refcount on themselves.

The reason for this is that on certain arm64 configuration since
e35123d83ee3 ("arm64: lto: Strengthen READ_ONCE() to acquire when
CONFIG_LTO=y"), READ_ONCE() may be promoted to a full atomic acquire
instruction which cannot be used on unaligned addresses.
Fix it by avoiding READ_ONCE() in read_instrumented_memory(), and simply
forcing the compiler to do the required access by casting to the
appropriate volatile type. In terms of generated code this currently
only affects architectures that do not use the default READ_ONCE()
implementation.
The only downside is that we are not guaranteed atomicity of the access
itself, although on most architectures a plain load up to machine word
size should still be atomic (a fact the default READ_ONCE() still relies
on itself).

The previous patch added necessary plumbing for verifier and runtime to
know what to do with non-kernel PTR_TO_BTF_IDs in map values, but didn't
provide any way to get such local kptrs into a map value. This patch
modifies verifier handling of bpf_kptr_xchg to allow MEM_ALLOC kptr
types.
check_reg_type is modified accept MEM_ALLOC-flagged input to
bpf_kptr_xchg despite such types not being in btf_ptr_types. This could
have been done with a MAYBE_MEM_ALLOC equivalent to MAYBE_NULL, but
bpf_kptr_xchg is the only helper that I can forsee using
MAYBE_MEM_ALLOC, so keep it special-cased for now.
The verifier tags bpf_kptr_xchg retval MEM_ALLOC if and only if the BTF
associated with the retval is not kernel BTF.

If a PTR_TO_BTF_ID type comes from program BTF - not vmlinux or module
BTF - it must have been allocated by bpf_obj_new and therefore must be
free'd with bpf_obj_drop. Such a PTR_TO_BTF_ID is considered a "local
kptr" and is tagged with MEM_ALLOC type tag by bpf_obj_new.
This patch adds support for treating __kptr-tagged pointers to "local
kptrs" as having an implicit bpf_obj_drop destructor for referenced kptr
acquire / release semantics. Consider the following example:
struct node_data {
long key;
long data;
struct bpf_rb_node node;
};
struct map_value {
struct node_data __kptr *node;
};
struct {
__uint(type, BPF_MAP_TYPE_ARRAY);
__type(key, int);
__type(value, struct map_value);
__uint(max_entries, 1);
} some_nodes SEC(".maps");
If struct node_data had a matching definition in kernel BTF, the verifier would
expect a destructor for the type to be registered. Since struct node_data does
not match any type in kernel BTF, the verifier knows that there is no kfunc
that provides a PTR_TO_BTF_ID to this type, and that such a PTR_TO_BTF_ID can
only come from bpf_obj_new. So instead of searching for a registered dtor,
a bpf_obj_drop dtor can be assumed.
This allows the runtime to properly destruct such kptrs in
bpf_obj_free_fields, which enables maps to clean up map_vals w/ such
kptrs when going away.
Implementation notes:
* "kernel_btf" variable is renamed to "kptr_btf" in btf_parse_kptr.
Before this patch, the variable would only ever point to vmlinux or
module BTFs, but now it can point to some program BTF for local kptr
type. It's later used to populate the (btf, btf_id) pair in kptr btf
field.
* It's necessary to btf_get the program BTF when populating btf_field
for local kptr. btf_record_free later does a btf_put.
* Behavior for non-local referenced kptrs is not modified, as
bpf_find_btf_id helper only searches vmlinux and module BTFs for
matching BTF type. If such a type is found, btf_field_kptr's btf will
pass btf_is_kernel check, and the associated release function is
some one-argument dtor. If btf_is_kernel check fails, associated
release function is two-arg bpf_obj_drop_impl. Before this patch
only btf_field_kptr's w/ kernel or module BTFs were created.

At that time the function used global btf_vmlinux BTF for all id lookups. Later,
in commit 22dc4a0f5ed1 ("bpf: Remove hard-coded btf_vmlinux assumption from BPF verifier"),
the type signature was changed to:
static const char *kernel_type_name(const struct btf* btf, u32 id)
With the btf parameter used for lookups instead of global btf_vmlinux.
The helper will function as expected for type name lookup using non-kernel BTFs,
and will be used for such in further patches in the series. Let's rename it to
avoid incorrect assumptions that might arise when seeing the current name.

Add bpf_selem_free_rcu() callback to do the kfree() instead
of using kfree_rcu. It is a preparation work for using
bpf_mem_cache_alloc/free in a later patch.

This patch removes the bpf_selem_free_fields*_rcu. The
bpf_obj_free_fields() can be done before the call_rcu_trasks_trace()
and kfree_rcu(). It is needed when a later patch uses
bpf_mem_cache_alloc/free. In bpf hashtab, bpf_obj_free_fields()
is also called before calling bpf_mem_cache_free. The discussion
can be found in

This patch re-purpose the use_trace_rcu to mean
if the freed memory can be reused immediately or not.
The use_trace_rcu is renamed to reuse_now. Other than
the boolean test is reversed, it should be a no-op.
The following explains the reason for the rename and how it will
be used in a later patch.
In a later patch, bpf_mem_cache_alloc/free will be used
in the bpf_local_storage. The bpf mem allocator will reuse
the freed memory immediately. Some of the free paths in
bpf_local_storage does not support memory to be reused immediately.
These paths are the "delete" elem cases from the bpf_*_storage_delete()
helper and the map_delete_elem() syscall. Note that "delete" elem
before the owner's (sk/task/cgrp/inode) lifetime ended is not
the common usage for the local storage.
The common free path, bpf_local_storage_destroy(), can reuse the
memory immediately. This common path means the storage stays with
its owner until the owner is destroyed.
The above mentioned "delete" elem paths that cannot
reuse immediately always has the 'use_trace_rcu == true'.
The cases that is safe for immediate reuse always have
'use_trace_rcu == false'. Instead of adding another arg
in a later patch, this patch re-purpose this arg
to reuse_now and have the test logic reversed.
In a later patch, 'reuse_now == true' will free to the
bpf_mem_cache_free() where the memory can be reused
immediately. 'reuse_now == false' will go through the
call_rcu_tasks_trace().
