x86/resctrl: Only show tasks' pid in current pid namespace

2023-07-19T14:35:08Z

[ Upstream commit 2997d94b5dd0e8b10076f5e0b6f18410c73e28bd ] When writing a task id to the "tasks" file in an rdtgroup, rdtgroup_tasks_write() treats the pid as a number in the current pid namespace. But when reading the "tasks" file, rdtgroup_tasks_show() shows the list of global pids from the init namespace, which is confusing and incorrect. To be more robust, let the "tasks" file only show pids in the current pid namespace.

Pull driver core updates from Greg KH: "Here is the large set of driver core changes for 6.4-rc1. Once again, a busy development cycle, with lots of changes happening in the driver core in the quest to be able to move "struct bus" and "struct class" into read-only memory, a task now complete with these changes. This will make the future rust interactions with the driver core more "provably correct" as well as providing more obvious lifetime rules for all busses and classes in the kernel. The changes required for this did touch many individual classes and busses as many callbacks were changed to take const * parameters instead. All of these changes have been submitted to the various subsystem maintainers, giving them plenty of time to review, and most of them actually did so. Other than those changes, included in here are a small set of other things: - kobject logging improvements - cacheinfo improvements and updates - obligatory fw_devlink updates and fixes - documentation updates - device property cleanups and const * changes - firwmare loader dependency fixes.

docs: move x86 documentation into Documentation/arch/

Move the x86 documentation under Documentation/arch/ as a way of cleaning up the top-level directory and making the structure of our docs more closely match the structure of the source directories it describes.

driver core: class: remove module * from class_create()

The module pointer in class_create() never actually did anything, and it shouldn't have been requred to be set as a parameter even if it did something.

x86/resctrl: Avoid redundant counter read in __mon_event_count()

2023-03-15T22:44:15Z

__mon_event_count() does the per-RMID, per-domain work for user-initiated event count reads and the initialization of new monitor groups. In the initialization case, after resctrl_arch_reset_rmid() calls __rmid_read() to record an initial count for a new monitor group, it immediately calls resctrl_arch_rmid_read(). This re-read of the hardware counter is unnecessary and the following computations are ignored by the caller during initialization. Following return from resctrl_arch_reset_rmid(), just clear the mbm_state and return. This involves moving the mbm_state lookup into the rr->first case, as it's not needed for regular event count reads: the QOS_L3_OCCUP_EVENT_ID case was redundant with the accumulating logic at the end of the function.

x86/resctrl: Clear staged_config[] before and after it is used

2023-03-15T22:19:43Z

As a temporary storage, staged_config[] in rdt_domain should be cleared before and after it is used. The stale value in staged_config[] could cause an MSR access error. Here is a reproducer on a system with 16 usable CLOSIDs for a 15-way L3 Cache (MBA should be disabled if the number of CLOSIDs for MB is less than 16.) : mount -t resctrl resctrl -o cdp /sys/fs/resctrl mkdir /sys/fs/resctrl/p{1..7} umount /sys/fs/resctrl/ mount -t resctrl resctrl /sys/fs/resctrl mkdir /sys/fs/resctrl/p{1..8} An error occurs when creating resource group named p8: unchecked MSR access error: WRMSR to 0xca0 (tried to write 0x00000000000007ff) at rIP: 0xffffffff82249142 (cat_wrmsr+0x32/0x60) Call Trace: __flush_smp_call_function_queue+0x11d/0x170 __sysvec_call_function+0x24/0xd0 sysvec_call_function+0x89/0xc0 asm_sysvec_call_function+0x16/0x20 When creating a new resource control group, hardware will be configured by the following process: rdtgroup_mkdir() rdtgroup_mkdir_ctrl_mon() rdtgroup_init_alloc() resctrl_arch_update_domains() resctrl_arch_update_domains() iterates and updates all resctrl_conf_type whose have_new_ctrl is true. Since staged_config[] holds the same values as when CDP was enabled, it will continue to update the CDP_CODE and CDP_DATA configurations. When group p8 is created, get_config_index() called in resctrl_arch_update_domains() will return 16 and 17 as the CLOSIDs for CDP_CODE and CDP_DATA, which will be translated to an invalid register - 0xca0 in this scenario. Fix it by clearing staged_config[] before and after it is used.

x86/resctl: fix scheduler confusion with 'current'

2023-03-08T19:48:11Z

The implementation of 'current' on x86 is very intentionally special: it is a very common thing to look up, and it uses 'this_cpu_read_stable()' to get the current thread pointer efficiently from per-cpu storage. And the keyword in there is 'stable': the current thread pointer never changes as far as a single thread is concerned. Even if when a thread is preempted, or moved to another CPU, or even across an explicit call 'schedule()' that thread will still have the same value for 'current'. It is, after all, the kernel base pointer to thread-local storage. That's why it's stable to begin with, but it's also why it's important enough that we have that special 'this_cpu_read_stable()' access for it. So this is all done very intentionally to allow the compiler to treat 'current' as a value that never visibly changes, so that the compiler can do CSE and combine multiple different 'current' accesses into one. However, there is obviously one very special situation when the currently running thread does actually change: inside the scheduler itself. So the scheduler code paths are special, and do not have a 'current' thread at all. Instead there are _two_ threads: the previous and the next thread - typically called 'prev' and 'next' (or prev_p/next_p) internally. So this is all actually quite straightforward and simple, and not all that complicated. Except for when you then have special code that is run in scheduler context, that code then has to be aware that 'current' isn't really a valid thing. Did you mean 'prev'? Did you mean 'next'? In fact, even if then look at the code, and you use 'current' after the new value has been assigned to the percpu variable, we have explicitly told the compiler that 'current' is magical and always stable. So the compiler is quite free to use an older (or newer) value of 'current', and the actual assignment to the percpu storage is not relevant even if it might look that way. Which is exactly what happened in the resctl code, that blithely used 'current' in '__resctrl_sched_in()' when it really wanted the new process state (as implied by the name: we're scheduling 'into' that new resctl state). And clang would end up just using the old thread pointer value at least in some configurations. This could have happened with gcc too, and purely depends on random compiler details. Clang just seems to have been more aggressive about moving the read of the per-cpu current_task pointer around. The fix is trivial: just make the resctl code adhere to the scheduler rules of using the prev/next thread pointer explicitly, instead of using 'current' in a situation where it just wasn't valid. That same code is then also used outside of the scheduler context (when a thread resctl state is explicitly changed), and then we will just pass in 'current' as that pointer, of course. There is no ambiguity in that case. The fix may be trivial, but noticing and figuring out what went wrong was not. The credit for that goes to Stephane Eranian.
