This is another attempt trying to make pidfd polling for multi-threaded
exec and premature thread-group leader exit consistent.
A quick recap of these two cases:
(1) During a multi-threaded exec by a subthread, i.e., non-thread-group
leader thread, all other threads in the thread-group including the
thread-group leader are killed and the struct pid of the
thread-group leader will be taken over by the subthread that called
exec. IOW, two tasks change their TIDs.
(2) A premature thread-group leader exit means that the thread-group
leader exited before all of the other subthreads in the thread-group
have exited.
Both cases lead to inconsistencies for pidfd polling with PIDFD_THREAD.
Any caller that holds a PIDFD_THREAD pidfd to the current thread-group
leader may or may not see an exit notification on the file descriptor
depending on when poll is performed. If the poll is performed before the
exec of the subthread has concluded an exit notification is generated
for the old thread-group leader. If the poll is performed after the exec
of the subthread has concluded no exit notification is generated for the
old thread-group leader.
The correct behavior would be to simply not generate an exit
notification on the struct pid of a subhthread exec because the struct
pid is taken over by the subthread and thus remains alive.
But this is difficult to handle because a thread-group may exit
prematurely as mentioned in (2). In that case an exit notification is
reliably generated but the subthreads may continue to run for an
indeterminate amount of time and thus also may exec at some point.
So far there was no way to distinguish between (1) and (2) internally.
This tiny series tries to address this problem by discarding
PIDFD_THREAD notification on premature thread-group leader exit.
If that works correctly then no exit notifications are generated for a
PIDFD_THREAD pidfd for a thread-group leader until all subthreads have
been reaped. If a subthread should exec aftewards no exit notification
will be generated until that task exits or it creates subthreads and
repeates the cycle.

When we currently create a pidfd we check that the task hasn't been
reaped right before we create the pidfd. But it is of course possible
that by the time we return the pidfd to userspace the task has already
been reaped since we don't check again after having created a dentry for
it.
This was fine until now because that race was meaningless. But now that
we provide PIDFD_INFO_EXIT it is a problem because it is possible that
the kernel returns a reaped pidfd and it depends on the race whether
PIDFD_INFO_EXIT information is available. This depends on if the task
gets reaped before or after a dentry has been attached to struct pid.
Make this consistent and only returned pidfds for reaped tasks if
PIDFD_INFO_EXIT information is available. This is done by performing
another check whether the task has been reaped right after we attached a
dentry to struct pid.
Since pidfs_exit() is called before struct pid's task linkage is removed
the case where the task got reaped but a dentry was already attached to
struct pid and exit information was recorded and published can be
handled correctly. In that case we do return a pidfd for a reaped task
like we would've before.

It is useful to be able to utilise the pidfd mechanism to reference the
current thread or process (from a userland point of view - thread group
leader from the kernel's point of view).
Therefore introduce PIDFD_SELF_THREAD to refer to the current thread, and
PIDFD_SELF_THREAD_GROUP to refer to the current thread group leader.
For convenience and to avoid confusion from userland's perspective we alias
these:
* PIDFD_SELF is an alias for PIDFD_SELF_THREAD - This is nearly always what
the user will want to use, as they would find it surprising if for
instance fd's were unshared()'d and they wanted to invoke pidfd_getfd()
and that failed.
* PIDFD_SELF_PROCESS is an alias for PIDFD_SELF_THREAD_GROUP - Most users
have no concept of thread groups or what a thread group leader is, and
from userland's perspective and nomenclature this is what userland
considers to be a process.
We adjust pidfd_get_task() and the pidfd_send_signal() system call with
specific handling for this, implementing this functionality for
process_madvise(), process_mrelease() (albeit, using it here wouldn't
really make sense) and pidfd_send_signal().

If a memory allocation fails during dup_mmap(), the maple tree can be left
in an unsafe state for other iterators besides the exit path. All the
locks are dropped before the exit_mmap() call (in mm/mmap.c), but the
incomplete mm_struct can be reached through (at least) the rmap finding
the vmas which have a pointer back to the mm_struct.
Up to this point, there have been no issues with being able to find an
mm_struct that was only partially initialised. Syzbot was able to make
the incomplete mm_struct fail with recent forking changes, so it has been
proven unsafe to use the mm_struct that hasn't been initialised, as
referenced in the link below.
Although 8ac662f5da ("fork: avoid inappropriate uprobe access to
invalid mm") fixed the uprobe access, it does not completely remove the
race.
This patch sets the MMF_OOM_SKIP to avoid the iteration of the vmas on the
oom side (even though this is extremely unlikely to be selected as an oom
victim in the race window), and sets MMF_UNSTABLE to avoid other potential
users from using a partially initialised mm_struct.
When registering vmas for uprobe, skip the vmas in an mm that is marked
unstable. Modifying a vma in an unstable mm may cause issues if the mm
isn't fully initialised.

that support LSM labeling, it is possible that local variable lsmctx

Merge tag 'constfy-sysctl-6.14-rc1' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/sysctl/sysctl
Pull sysctl table constification from Joel Granados:
"All ctl_table declared outside of functions and that remain unmodified
after initialization are const qualified.
This prevents unintended modifications to proc_handler function
pointers by placing them in the .rodata section.
This is a continuation of the tree-wide effort started a few releases
ago with the constification of the ctl_table struct arguments in the
sysctl API done in 78eb4ea25c ("sysctl: treewide: constify the
ctl_table argument of proc_handlers")"
* tag 'constfy-sysctl-6.14-rc1' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/sysctl/sysctl:
treewide: const qualify ctl_tables where applicable
Here is the big set of driver core and debugfs updates for 6.14-rc1.
It's coming late in the merge cycle as there are a number of merge
conflicts with your tree now, and I wanted to make sure they were
working properly. To resolve them, look in linux-next, and I will send
the "fixup" patch as a response to the pull request.
Included in here is a bunch of driver core, PCI, OF, and platform rust
bindings (all acked by the different subsystem maintainers), hence the
merge conflict with the rust tree, and some driver core api updates to
mark things as const, which will also require some fixups due to new
stuff coming in through other trees in this merge window.
There are also a bunch of debugfs updates from Al, and there is at least
one user that does have a regression with these, but Al is working on
tracking down the fix for it. In my use (and everyone else's linux-next
use), it does not seem like a big issue at the moment.
Here's a short list of the things in here:
- driver core bindings for PCI, platform, OF, and some i/o functions.
We are almost at the "write a real driver in rust" stage now,
depending on what you want to do.
- misc device rust bindings and a sample driver to show how to use
them
- debugfs cleanups in the fs as well as the users of the fs api for
places where drivers got it wrong or were unnecessarily doing things
in complex ways.
- driver core const work, making more of the api take const * for
different parameters to make the rust bindings easier overall.
- other small fixes and updates
All of these have been in linux-next with all of the aforementioned
merge conflicts, and the one debugfs issue, which looks to be resolved
"soon".

Add the const qualifier to all the ctl_tables in the tree except for
watchdog_hardlockup_sysctl, memory_allocation_profiling_sysctls,
loadpin_sysctl_table and the ones calling register_net_sysctl (./net,
drivers/inifiniband dirs). These are special cases as they use a
registration function with a non-const qualified ctl_table argument or
modify the arrays before passing them on to the registration function.
Constifying ctl_table structs will prevent the modification of
proc_handler function pointers as the arrays would reside in .rodata.
This is made possible after commit 78eb4ea25c ("sysctl: treewide:
constify the ctl_table argument of proc_handlers") constified all the
proc_handlers.
Created this by running an spatch followed by a sed command:

Several fixes and small improvements are present:
- Sign modules with sha512 instead of sha1 by default
- Don't fail module loading when setting ro_after_init section RO failed
- Constify 'struct module_attribute'
- Cleanups and preparation for const struct bin_attribute
- Put known GPL offenders in an array
- Extend the preempt disabled section in dereference_symbol_descriptor()
This has been all on linux-next for at least 2 weeks with no issues.
A small merge conflict between the changes here and a pull from the
driver-core tree might appear in kernel/module/sysfs.c, function
add_notes_attrs(). The code has been cleaned up here and the driver-core
additionally changes nattr->read to nattr->read_new.
Related to the modules, an important new tool gendwarfksyms to calculate
symbols CRCs from DWARF data and thereby enable the modversion support for
Rust should come through the kbuild tree.

- Add a test suite to test the tool
Add a small test suite that can be used to test rtla's basic features to
at least have something to test when applying changes.
- Automate manual steps in monitor creation
While creating a new monitor in RV, besides generating code from dot2k,
there are a few manual steps which can be tedious and error prone, like
adding the tracepoints, makefile lines and kconfig, or selecting events
that start the monitor in the initial state.
Updates were made to try and automate as much as possible among those steps to
make creating a new RV monitor much quicker. It is still requires to
select proper tracepoints, this step is harder to automate in a general
way and, in several cases, would still need user intervention.
- Have rtla timerlat hist and top set OSNOISE_WORKLOAD flag
Have both rtla-timerlat-hist and rtla-timerlat-top set OSNOISE_WORKLOAD to
the proper value ("on" when running with -k, "off" when running with -u)
every time the option is available instead of setting it only when running
with -u.
This prevents rtla timerlat -k from giving no results when
NO_OSNOISE_WORKLOAD is set, either manually or by an abnormally exited earlier
run of rtla timerlat -u.
- Stop rtla timerlat on signal properly when overloaded
There is an issue where if rtla is run on machines with a high number of
CPUs (100+), timerlat can generate more samples than rtla is able to process
via tracefs_iterate_raw_events. This is especially common when the interval
is set to 100us (rteval and cyclictest default) as opposed to the rtla
default of 1000us, but also happens with the rtla default.
Currently, this leads to rtla hanging and having to be terminated with
SIGTERM. SIGINT setting stop_tracing is not enough, since more and more
events are coming and tracefs_iterate_raw_events never exits.
To fix this: Stop the timerlat tracer on SIGINT/SIGALRM to ensure no more
events are generated when rtla is supposed to exit.
Also on receiving SIGINT/SIGALRM twice, abort iteration immediately with
tracefs_iterate_stop, making rtla exit right away instead of waiting for all
events to be processed.
- Account for missed events
Due to tracefs buffer overflow, it can happen that rtla misses events,
making the tracing results inaccurate.
Count both the number of missed events and the total number of processed
events, and display missed events as well as their percentage. The numbers
are displayed for both osnoise and timerlat, even though for the earlier,
missed events are generally not expected.
For hist, the number is displayed at the end of the run; for top, it is
displayed on each printing of the top table.
- Changes to make osnoise more robust
There was a dependency in the code that the first field of the
osnoise_tool structure was the trace field. If that that ever changed,
then the code work break. Change the code to encapsulate this dependency
where the code that uses the structure does not have this dependency.

- Reset idle tasks on reset for runtime verifier
When the runtime verifier is reset, it resets the task's data that is being
monitored. But it only iterates for_each_process() which does not include
the idle tasks. As the idle tasks can be monitored, they need to be reset
as well.
- Fix the enabling and disabling of tracepoints in osnoise
If timerlat is enabled and the WORKLOAD flag is not set, then the osnoise
tracer will enable the migrate task tracepoint to monitor it for its own
workload. The test to enable the tracepoint is done against user space
modifiable parameters. On disabling of the tracer, those same parameters
are used to determine if the tracepoint should be disabled. The problem is
if user space were to modify the parameters after it enables the tracer
then it may not disable the tracepoint.
Instead, a static variable is used to keep track if the tracepoint was
enabled or not. Then when the tracer shuts down, it will use this variable
to decide to disable the tracepoint or not, instead of looking at the user
space parameters.

Switch away from using sha1 for module signing by default and use the
more modern sha512 instead, which is what among others Arch, Fedora,
RHEL, and Ubuntu are currently using for their kernels.
Sha1 has not been considered secure against well-funded opponents since
2005[1]; since 2011 the NIST and other organizations furthermore
recommended its replacement[2]. This is why OpenSSL on RHEL9, Fedora
Linux 41+[3], and likely some other current and future distributions
reject the creation of sha1 signatures, which leads to a build error of
allmodconfig configurations:
80A20474797F0000:error:03000098:digital envelope routines:do_sigver_init:invalid digest:crypto/evp/m_sigver.c:342:

This change makes allmodconfig work again and sets a default that is
more appropriate for current and future users, too.

However the module sysfs code only creates a kobject to get a

Before SLUB initialization, various subsystems used memblock_alloc to
allocate memory. In most cases, when memory allocation fails, an
immediate panic is required. To simplify this behavior and reduce
repetitive checks, introduce `memblock_alloc_or_panic`. This function
ensures that memory allocation failures result in a panic automatically,
improving code readability and consistency across subsystems that require
this behavior.

The previous commit removed the page_list argument from
alloc_pages_bulk_noprof() along with the alloc_pages_bulk_list() function.
Now that only the *_array() flavour of the API remains, we can do the
following renaming (along with the _noprof() ones):
alloc_pages_bulk_array -> alloc_pages_bulk
alloc_pages_bulk_array_mempolicy -> alloc_pages_bulk_mempolicy
alloc_pages_bulk_array_node -> alloc_pages_bulk_node

Resending this patch as I haven't received feedback on my initial
submission https://lore.kernel.org/all/20241204182953.10854-1-oxana@cloudflare.com/
For the processes which are terminated abnormally the kernel can provide
a coredump if enabled. When the coredump is performed, the process and
all its threads are put into the D state
(TASK_UNINTERRUPTIBLE | TASK_FREEZABLE).
On the other hand, we have kernel thread khungtaskd which monitors the
processes in the D state. If the task stuck in the D state more than
kernel.hung_task_timeout_secs, the hung_task alert appears in the kernel
log.
The higher memory usage of a process, the longer it takes to create
coredump, the longer tasks are in the D state. We have hung_task alerts
for the processes with memory usage above 10Gb. Although, our
kernel.hung_task_timeout_secs is 10 sec when the default is 120 sec.
Adding additional information to the log that the task is blocked by
coredump will help with monitoring. Another approach might be to
completely filter out alerts for such tasks, but in that case we would
lose transparency about what is putting pressure on some system
resources, e.g. we saw an increase in I/O when coredump occurs due its
writing to disk.
Additionally, it would be helpful to have task_struct->flags in the log
from the function sched_show_task(). Currently it prints
task_struct->thread_info->flags, this seems misleading as the line
starts with "task:xxxx".

If a timerlat tracer is started with the osnoise option OSNOISE_WORKLOAD
disabled, but then that option is enabled and timerlat is removed, the
tracepoints that were enabled on timerlat registration do not get
disabled. If the option is disabled again and timelat is started, then it
triggers a warning in the tracepoint code due to registering the
tracepoint again without ever disabling it.
Do not use the same user space defined options to know to disable the
tracepoints when timerlat is removed. Instead, set a global flag when it
is enabled and use that flag to know to disable the events.

The first commit factored out update_builtin_idle() and the second replaced
cpumask_set/clear_cpu() calls with assign_cpu(). The conflict can be
resolved by taking the code from the first and then replacing the
cpumask_set/clear_cpu() calls with assign_cpu():

timestamp in struct rq to avoid reading TSC multiple times within a
locked scheduling operation.
- Minor updates to the built-in idle CPU selection logic.
- tool/sched_ext updates and other misc changes.
