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.

Add a kthread_stop_put() helper that stops a thread and puts its task
struct. Use it to replace the various instances of kthread_stop()
followed by put_task_struct().
Remove the kthread_stop_put() macro in usbip that is similar but doesn't
return the result of kthread_stop().

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.

any fatal signal
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.

Pull asm-generic updates from Arnd Bergmann:
"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.
- A series from Masahiro Yamada cleans up some of the uapi header
files to pass the compile-time checks"

There are no remaining callers of set_fs(), so CONFIG_SET_FS
can be removed globally, along with the thread_info field and
any references to it.
This turns access_ok() into a cheaper check against TASK_SIZE_MAX.
As CONFIG_SET_FS is now gone, drop all remaining references to
set_fs()/get_fs(), mm_segment_t, user_addr_max() and uaccess_kernel().

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/
After this change, the full name of these truncated kthreads will be
displayed via /proc/[pid]/comm:
rcu_tasks_kthread
rcu_tasks_rude_kthread
rcu_tasks_trace_kthread

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

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.

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."

kthread_cancel_delayed_work_sync()
kthread_mod_delayed_work() might race with
kthread_cancel_delayed_work_sync() or another kthread_mod_delayed_work()
call. The function lets the other operation win when it sees
work->canceling counter set. And it returns @false.
But it should return @true as it is done by the related workqueue API, see
mod_delayed_work_on().
The reason is that the return value might be used for reference counting.
It has to distinguish the case when the number of queued works has changed
or stayed the same.
The change is safe. kthread_mod_delayed_work() return value is not
checked anywhere at the moment.

Pull scheduler udpates from Ingo Molnar:
- Changes to core scheduling facilities:
- Add "Core Scheduling" via CONFIG_SCHED_CORE=y, which enables
coordinated scheduling across SMT siblings. This is a much
requested feature for cloud computing platforms, to allow the
flexible utilization of SMT siblings, without exposing untrusted
domains to information leaks & side channels, plus to ensure more
deterministic computing performance on SMT systems used by
heterogenous workloads.
There are new prctls to set core scheduling groups, which allows
more flexible management of workloads that can share siblings.
- Fix task->state access anti-patterns that may result in missed
wakeups and rename it to ->__state in the process to catch new
abuses.
- Load-balancing changes:
- Tweak newidle_balance for fair-sched, to improve 'memcache'-like
workloads.
- "Age" (decay) average idle time, to better track & improve
workloads such as 'tbench'.
- Fix & improve energy-aware (EAS) balancing logic & metrics.
- Fix & improve the uclamp metrics.
- Fix task migration (taskset) corner case on !CONFIG_CPUSET.
- Fix RT and deadline utilization tracking across policy changes
- Introduce a "burstable" CFS controller via cgroups, which allows
bursty CPU-bound workloads to borrow a bit against their future
quota to improve overall latencies & batching. Can be tweaked via
/sys/fs/cgroup/cpu/<X>/cpu.cfs_burst_us.
- Rework assymetric topology/capacity detection & handling.
- Scheduler statistics & tooling:
- Disable delayacct by default, but add a sysctl to enable it at
runtime if tooling needs it. Use static keys and other
optimizations to make it more palatable.
- Use sched_clock() in delayacct, instead of ktime_get_ns().
- Misc cleanups and fixes.

It is caused by the following race between kthread_mod_delayed_work()
and kthread_cancel_delayed_work_sync():
CPU0 CPU1
Context: Thread A Context: Thread B
kthread_mod_delayed_work()
spin_lock()
__kthread_cancel_work()
spin_unlock()
del_timer_sync()
kthread_cancel_delayed_work_sync()
spin_lock()
__kthread_cancel_work()

work->canceling++
spin_unlock
spin_lock()
queue_delayed_work()
// dwork is put into the worker->delayed_work_list
spin_unlock()
kthread_flush_work()
// flush_work is put at the tail of the dwork
wait_for_completion()
Context: IRQ
kthread_delayed_work_timer_fn()
spin_lock()
list_del_init(&work->node);
spin_unlock()
BANG: flush_work is not longer linked and will never get proceed.
The problem is that kthread_mod_delayed_work() checks work->canceling
flag before canceling the timer.
A simple solution is to (re)check work->canceling after
__kthread_cancel_work(). But then it is not clear what should be
returned when __kthread_cancel_work() removed the work from the queue
(list) and it can't queue it again with the new @delay.
The return value might be used for reference counting. The caller has
to know whether a new work has been queued or an existing one was
replaced.
The proper solution is that kthread_mod_delayed_work() will remove the
work from the queue (list) _only_ when work->canceling is not set. The
flag must be checked after the timer is stopped and the remaining
operations can be done under worker->lock.
Note that kthread_mod_delayed_work() could remove the timer and then
bail out. It is fine. The other canceling caller needs to cancel the
timer as well. The important thing is that the queue (list)
manipulation is done atomically under worker->lock.

For all intents and purposes, the idle task is a per-CPU kthread. It isn't
created via the same route as other pcpu kthreads however, and as a result
it is missing a few bells and whistles: it fails kthread_is_per_cpu() and
it doesn't have PF_NO_SETAFFINITY set.
Fix the former by giving the idle task a kthread struct along with the
KTHREAD_IS_PER_CPU flag. This requires some extra iffery as init_idle()
call be called more than once on the same idle task.

Pull scheduler updates from Ingo Molnar:
- Clean up SCHED_DEBUG: move the decades old mess of sysctl, procfs and
debugfs interfaces to a unified debugfs interface.
- Signals: Allow caching one sigqueue object per task, to improve
performance & latencies.
- Improve newidle_balance() irq-off latencies on systems with a large
number of CPU cgroups.
- Improve energy-aware scheduling
- Improve the PELT metrics for certain workloads
- Reintroduce select_idle_smt() to improve load-balancing locality -
but without the previous regressions
- Add 'scheduler latency debugging': warn after long periods of pending
need_resched. This is an opt-in feature that requires the enabling of
the LATENCY_WARN scheduler feature, or the use of the
resched_latency_warn_ms=xx boot parameter.
- CPU hotplug fixes for HP-rollback, and for the 'fail' interface. Fix
remaining balance_push() vs. hotplug holes/races
- PSI fixes, plus allow /proc/pressure/ files to be written by
CAP_SYS_RESOURCE tasks as well
- Fix/improve various load-balancing corner cases vs. capacity margins
- Fix sched topology on systems with NUMA diameter of 3 or above
- Fix PF_KTHREAD vs to_kthread() race
- Minor rseq optimizations
- Misc cleanups, optimizations, fixes and smaller updates

The kthread_is_per_cpu() construct relies on only being called on
PF_KTHREAD tasks (per the WARN in to_kthread). This gives rise to the
following usage pattern:
if ((p->flags & PF_KTHREAD) && kthread_is_per_cpu(p))
However, as reported by syzcaller, this is broken. The scenario is:
CPU0 CPU1 (running p)
(p->flags & PF_KTHREAD) // true
begin_new_exec()
me->flags &= ~(PF_KTHREAD|...);
kthread_is_per_cpu(p)
to_kthread(p)
WARN(!(p->flags & PF_KTHREAD) <-- *SPLAT*
Introduce __to_kthread() that omits the WARN and is sure to check both
values.
Use this to remove the problematic pattern for kthread_is_per_cpu()
and fix a number of other kthread_*() functions that have similar
issues but are currently not used in ways that would expose the
problem.
Notably kthread_func() is only ever called on 'current', while
kthread_probe_data() is only used for PF_WQ_WORKER, which implies the
task is from kthread_create*().

With CONFIG_CFI_CLANG, a callback function passed to
__kthread_queue_delayed_work from a module points to a jump table
entry defined in the module instead of the one used in the core
kernel, which breaks function address equality in this check:
WARN_ON_ONCE(timer->function != ktead_delayed_work_timer_fn);
Use WARN_ON_FUNCTION_MISMATCH() instead to disable the warning
when CFI and modules are both enabled.

Pull scheduler fixes from Borislav Petkov:
- Correct the marking of kthreads which are supposed to run on a
specific, single CPU vs such which are affine to only one CPU, mark
per-cpu workqueue threads as such and make sure that marking
"survives" CPU hotplug. Fix CPU hotplug issues with such kthreads.
- A fix to not push away tasks on CPUs coming online.
- Have workqueue CPU hotplug code use cpu_possible_mask when breaking
affinity on CPU offlining so that pending workers can finish on newly
arrived onlined CPUs too.
- Dump tasks which haven't vacated a CPU which is currently being
unplugged.
- Register a special scale invariance callback which gets called on
resume from RAM to read out APERF/MPERF after resume and thus make
the schedutil scaling governor more precise.

There is a need to distinguish geniune per-cpu kthreads from kthreads
that happen to have a single CPU affinity.
Geniune per-cpu kthreads are kthreads that are CPU affine for
correctness, these will obviously have PF_KTHREAD set, but must also
have PF_NO_SETAFFINITY set, lest userspace modify their affinity and
ruins things.
However, these two things are not sufficient, PF_NO_SETAFFINITY is
also set on other tasks that have their affinities controlled through
other means, like for instance workqueues.
Therefore another bit is needed; it turns out kthread_create_per_cpu()
already has such a bit: KTHREAD_IS_PER_CPU, which is used to make
kthread_park()/kthread_unpark() work correctly.
Expose this flag and remove the implicit setting of it from
kthread_create_on_cpu(); the io_uring usage of it seems dubious at
best.
