commit 758999246965eeb8b253d47e72f7bfe508804b16 upstream.

On resource group creation via a mkdir an extra kernfs_node reference is
obtained by kernfs_get() to ensure that the rdtgroup structure remains
accessible for the rdtgroup_kn_unlock() calls where it is removed on
deletion. Currently the extra kernfs_node reference count is only
dropped by kernfs_put() in rdtgroup_kn_unlock() while the rdtgroup
structure is removed in a few other locations that lack the matching
reference drop.

In call paths of rmdir and umount, when a control group is removed,
kernfs_remove() is called to remove the whole kernfs nodes tree of the
control group (including the kernfs nodes trees of all child monitoring
groups), and then rdtgroup structure is freed by kfree(). The rdtgroup
structures of all child monitoring groups under the control group are
freed by kfree() in free_all_child_rdtgrp().

Before calling kfree() to free the rdtgroup structures, the kernfs node
of the control group itself as well as the kernfs nodes of all child
monitoring groups still take the extra references which will never be
dropped to 0 and the kernfs nodes will never be freed. It leads to
reference count leak and kernfs_node_cache memory leak.

For example, reference count leak is observed in these two cases:
  (1) mount -t resctrl resctrl /sys/fs/resctrl
      mkdir /sys/fs/resctrl/c1
      mkdir /sys/fs/resctrl/c1/mon_groups/m1
      umount /sys/fs/resctrl

  (2) mkdir /sys/fs/resctrl/c1
      mkdir /sys/fs/resctrl/c1/mon_groups/m1
      rmdir /sys/fs/resctrl/c1

The same reference count leak issue also exists in the error exit paths
of mkdir in mkdir_rdt_prepare() and rdtgroup_mkdir_ctrl_mon().

Fix this issue by following changes to make sure the extra kernfs_node
reference on rdtgroup is dropped before freeing the rdtgroup structure.
  (1) Introduce rdtgroup removal helper rdtgroup_remove() to wrap up
  kernfs_put() and kfree().

  (2) Call rdtgroup_remove() in rdtgroup removal path where the rdtgroup
  structure is about to be freed by kfree().

  (3) Call rdtgroup_remove() or kernfs_put() as appropriate in the error
  exit paths of mkdir where an extra reference is taken by kernfs_get().

<title>x86/resctrl: Remove superfluous kernfs_get() calls to prevent refcount leak</title>

commit fd8d9db3559a29fd737bcdb7c4fcbe1940caae34 upstream.

Willem reported growing of kernfs_node_cache entries in slabtop when
repeatedly creating and removing resctrl subdirectories as well as when
repeatedly mounting and unmounting the resctrl filesystem.

On resource group (control as well as monitoring) creation via a mkdir
an extra kernfs_node reference is obtained to ensure that the rdtgroup
structure remains accessible for the rdtgroup_kn_unlock() calls where it
is removed on deletion. The kernfs_node reference count is dropped by
kernfs_put() in rdtgroup_kn_unlock().

With the above explaining the need for one kernfs_get()/kernfs_put()
pair in resctrl there are more places where a kernfs_node reference is
obtained without a corresponding release. The excessive amount of
reference count on kernfs nodes will never be dropped to 0 and the
kernfs nodes will never be freed in the call paths of rmdir and umount.
It leads to reference count leak and kernfs_node_cache memory leak.

Remove the superfluous kernfs_get() calls and expand the existing
comments surrounding the remaining kernfs_get()/kernfs_put() pair that
remains in use.

Superfluous kernfs_get() calls are removed from two areas:

  (1) In call paths of mount and mkdir, when kernfs nodes for "info",
  "mon_groups" and "mon_data" directories and sub-directories are
  created, the reference count of newly created kernfs node is set to 1.
  But after kernfs_create_dir() returns, superfluous kernfs_get() are
  called to take an additional reference.

  (2) kernfs_get() calls in rmdir call paths.

<title>x86/resctrl: Fix a NULL vs IS_ERR() static checker warning in rdt_cdp_peer_get()</title>

<id>urn:sha1:cc5277fe66cf3ad68f41f1c539b2ef0d5e432974</id>
<content type='text'>
The callers don't expect *d_cdp to be set to an error pointer, they only
check for NULL.  This leads to a static checker warning:

  arch/x86/kernel/cpu/resctrl/rdtgroup.c:2648 __init_one_rdt_domain()
  warn: 'd_cdp' could be an error pointer

This would not trigger a bug in this specific case because
__init_one_rdt_domain() calls it with a valid domain that would not have
a negative id and thus not trigger the return of the ERR_PTR(). If this
was a negative domain id then the call to rdt_find_domain() in
domain_add_cpu() would have returned the ERR_PTR() much earlier and the
creation of the domain with an invalid id would have been prevented.

Even though a bug is not triggered currently the right and safe thing to
do is to set the pointer to NULL because that is what can be checked for
when the caller is handling the CDP and non-CDP cases.

<title>x86/resctrl: Maintain MBM counter width per resource</title>
<updated>2020-05-06T16:00:35Z</updated>

<id>urn:sha1:46637d4570e108d1f6721cfa2cca1d078882761a</id>
<content type='text'>
The original Memory Bandwidth Monitoring (MBM) architectural
definition defines counters of up to 62 bits in the IA32_QM_CTR MSR,
and the first-generation MBM implementation uses 24 bit counters.
Software is required to poll at 1 second or faster to ensure that
data is retrieved before a counter rollover occurs more than once
under worst conditions.

As system bandwidths scale the software requirement is maintained with
the introduction of a per-resource enumerable MBM counter width.

In preparation for supporting hardware with an enumerable MBM counter
width the current globally static MBM counter width is moved to a
per-resource MBM counter width. Currently initialized to 24 always
to result in no functional change.

In essence there is one function, mbm_overflow_count() that needs to
know the counter width to handle rollovers. The static value
used within mbm_overflow_count() will be replaced with a value
discovered from the hardware. Support for learning the MBM counter
width from hardware is added in the change that follows.

<content type='text'>
Resctrl assumes that all CPUs are online when the filesystem is mounted,
and that CPUs remember their CDP-enabled state over CPU hotplug.

This goes wrong when resctrl's CDP-enabled state changes while all the
CPUs in a domain are offline.

When a domain comes online, enable (or disable!) CDP to match resctrl's
current setting.

<title>x86/resctrl: Fix invalid attempt at removing the default resource group</title>

<id>urn:sha1:b0151da52a6d4f3951ea24c083e7a95977621436</id>
<content type='text'>
The default resource group ("rdtgroup_default") is associated with the
root of the resctrl filesystem and should never be removed. New resource
groups can be created as subdirectories of the resctrl filesystem and
they can be removed from user space.

There exists a safeguard in the directory removal code
(rdtgroup_rmdir()) that ensures that only subdirectories can be removed
by testing that the directory to be removed has to be a child of the
root directory.

A possible deadlock was recently fixed with

  334b0f4e9b1b ("x86/resctrl: Fix a deadlock due to inaccurate reference").

This fix involved associating the private data of the "mon_groups"
and "mon_data" directories to the resource group to which they belong
instead of NULL as before. A consequence of this change was that
the original safeguard code preventing removal of "mon_groups" and
"mon_data" found in the root directory failed resulting in attempts to
remove the default resource group that ends in a BUG:

  kernel BUG at mm/slub.c:3969!
  invalid opcode: 0000 [#1] SMP PTI

  Call Trace:
  rdtgroup_rmdir+0x16b/0x2c0
  kernfs_iop_rmdir+0x5c/0x90

  do_rmdir+0x17d/0x1e0
  do_syscall_64+0x55/0x1d0
  entry_SYSCALL_64_after_hwframe+0x44/0xa9

Fix this by improving the directory removal safeguard to ensure that
subdirectories of the resctrl root directory can only be removed if they
are a child of the resctrl filesystem's root _and_ not associated with
the default resource group.

Pull vfs file system parameter updates from Al Viro:
 "Saner fs_parser.c guts and data structures. The system-wide registry
  of syntax types (string/enum/int32/oct32/.../etc.) is gone and so is
  the horror switch() in fs_parse() that would have to grow another case
  every time something got added to that system-wide registry.

  New syntax types can be added by filesystems easily now, and their
  namespace is that of functions - not of system-wide enum members. IOW,
  they can be shared or kept private and if some turn out to be widely
  useful, we can make them common library helpers, etc., without having
  to do anything whatsoever to fs_parse() itself.

  And we already get that kind of requests - the thing that finally
  pushed me into doing that was "oh, and let's add one for timeouts -
  things like 15s or 2h". If some filesystem really wants that, let them
  do it. Without somebody having to play gatekeeper for the variants
  blessed by direct support in fs_parse(), TYVM.

  Quite a bit of boilerplate is gone. And IMO the data structures make a
  lot more sense now. -200LoC, while we are at it"
