This is a MarkDown version of the README file... must be renamed to README.md to work properly (I think).

README

-  Linux is a clone of the operating system Unix, written from scratch by
-  Linus Torvalds with assistance from a loosely-knit team of hackers across
-  the Net. It aims towards POSIX and Single UNIX Specification compliance.

Someone necessarily lend a hand to make critically posts I might state. That is the first time I frequented your website page and thus far? I amazed with the analysis you made to make this actual put up extraordinary. Fantastic task!

…S block during isolation for migration commit 0bf380b upstream. When isolating for migration, migration starts at the start of a zone which is not necessarily pageblock aligned. Further, it stops isolating when COMPACT_CLUSTER_MAX pages are isolated so migrate_pfn is generally not aligned. This allows isolate_migratepages() to call pfn_to_page() on an invalid PFN which can result in a crash. This was originally reported against a 3.0-based kernel with the following trace in a crash dump.

BUG: unable to handle kernel paging request at 01c00008 IP: [<c0522399>] isolate_migratepages+0x119/0x390 *pdpt = 000000002f7ce001 *pde = 0000000000000000 It is expected that it also affects 3.2.x and current mainline. The problem is that pfn_valid is only called on the first PFN being checked and that PFN is not necessarily aligned. Lets say we have a case like this H = MAX_ORDER_NR_PAGES boundary | = pageblock boundary m = cc->migrate_pfn f = cc->free_pfn o = memory hole H------|------H------|----m-Hoooooo|ooooooH-f----|------H The migrate_pfn is just below a memory hole and the free scanner is beyond the hole. When isolate_migratepages started, it scans from migrate_pfn to migrate_pfn+pageblock_nr_pages which is now in a memory hole. It checks pfn_valid() on the first PFN but then scans into the hole where there are not necessarily valid struct pages. This patch ensures that isolate_migratepages calls pfn_valid when necessary.

…S block during isolation for migration commit 0bf380b upstream. When isolating for migration, migration starts at the start of a zone which is not necessarily pageblock aligned. Further, it stops isolating when COMPACT_CLUSTER_MAX pages are isolated so migrate_pfn is generally not aligned. This allows isolate_migratepages() to call pfn_to_page() on an invalid PFN which can result in a crash. This was originally reported against a 3.0-based kernel with the following trace in a crash dump.

This patch does this change, making the jited image to only save/restore the callee-saved registers it uses.

This extra restoring/saving instructions increases preformance overhead. [1] provides 2 benchmarks for tailcall scenarios. Below is the perf number measured in an arm64 KVM guest. The result indicates that the performance difference before and after the patch in typical tailcall scenarios is negligible. - Before: Performance counter stats for './test_progs -t tailcalls' (5 runs): 4313.43 msec task-clock # 0.874 CPUs utilized ( +- 0.16% ) 574 context-switches # 133.073 /sec ( +- 1.14% ) 0 cpu-migrations # 0.000 /sec 538 page-faults # 124.727 /sec ( +- 0.57% ) 10697772784 cycles # 2.480 GHz ( +- 0.22% ) (61.19%) 25511241955 instructions # 2.38 insn per cycle ( +- 0.08% ) (66.70%) 5108910557 branches # 1.184 G/sec ( +- 0.08% ) (72.38%) 2800459 branch-misses # 0.05% of all branches ( +- 0.51% ) (72.36%) TopDownL1 # 0.60 retiring ( +- 0.09% ) (66.84%) # 0.21 frontend_bound ( +- 0.15% ) (61.31%) # 0.12 bad_speculation ( +- 0.08% ) (50.11%) # 0.07 backend_bound ( +- 0.16% ) (33.30%) 8274201819 L1-dcache-loads # 1.918 G/sec ( +- 0.18% ) (33.15%) 468268 L1-dcache-load-misses # 0.01% of all L1-dcache accesses ( +- 4.69% ) (33.16%) 385383 LLC-loads # 89.345 K/sec ( +- 5.22% ) (33.16%) 38296 LLC-load-misses # 9.94% of all LL-cache accesses ( +- 42.52% ) (38.69%) 6886576501 L1-icache-loads # 1.597 G/sec ( +- 0.35% ) (38.69%) 1848585 L1-icache-load-misses # 0.03% of all L1-icache accesses ( +- 4.52% ) (44.23%) 9043645883 dTLB-loads # 2.097 G/sec ( +- 0.10% ) (44.33%) 416672 dTLB-load-misses # 0.00% of all dTLB cache accesses ( +- 5.15% ) (49.89%) 6925626111 iTLB-loads # 1.606 G/sec ( +- 0.35% ) (55.46%) 66220 iTLB-load-misses # 0.00% of all iTLB cache accesses ( +- 1.88% ) (55.50%) <not supported> L1-dcache-prefetches <not supported> L1-dcache-prefetch-misses 4.9372 +- 0.0526 seconds time elapsed ( +- 1.07% ) Performance counter stats for './test_progs -t flow_dissector' (5 runs): 10924.50 msec task-clock # 0.945 CPUs utilized ( +- 0.08% ) 603 context-switches # 55.197 /sec ( +- 1.13% ) 0 cpu-migrations # 0.000 /sec 566 page-faults # 51.810 /sec ( +- 0.42% ) 27381270695 cycles # 2.506 GHz ( +- 0.18% ) (60.46%) 56996583922 instructions # 2.08 insn per cycle ( +- 0.21% ) (66.11%) 10321647567 branches # 944.816 M/sec ( +- 0.17% ) (71.79%) 3347735 branch-misses # 0.03% of all branches ( +- 3.72% ) (72.15%) TopDownL1 # 0.52 retiring ( +- 0.13% ) (66.74%) # 0.27 frontend_bound ( +- 0.14% ) (61.27%) # 0.14 bad_speculation ( +- 0.19% ) (50.36%) # 0.07 backend_bound ( +- 0.42% ) (33.89%) 18740797617 L1-dcache-loads # 1.715 G/sec ( +- 0.43% ) (33.71%) 13715669 L1-dcache-load-misses # 0.07% of all L1-dcache accesses ( +- 32.85% ) (33.34%) 4087551 LLC-loads # 374.164 K/sec ( +- 29.53% ) (33.26%) 267906 LLC-load-misses # 6.55% of all LL-cache accesses ( +- 23.90% ) (38.76%) 15811864229 L1-icache-loads # 1.447 G/sec ( +- 0.12% ) (38.73%) 2976833 L1-icache-load-misses # 0.02% of all L1-icache accesses ( +- 9.73% ) (44.22%) 20138907471 dTLB-loads # 1.843 G/sec ( +- 0.18% ) (44.15%) 732850 dTLB-load-misses # 0.00% of all dTLB cache accesses ( +- 11.18% ) (49.64%) 15895726702 iTLB-loads # 1.455 G/sec ( +- 0.15% ) (55.13%) 152075 iTLB-load-misses # 0.00% of all iTLB cache accesses ( +- 4.71% ) (54.98%) <not supported> L1-dcache-prefetches <not supported> L1-dcache-prefetch-misses 11.5613 +- 0.0317 seconds time elapsed ( +- 0.27% ) -

The fields in the hist_entry are filled on-demand which means they only have meaningful values when relevant sort keys are used.

Currently, BPF_CALL is always jited to indirect call. When target is within the range of direct call, BPF_CALL can be jited to direct call. For example, the following BPF_CALL call __htab_map_lookup_elem is always jited to indirect call: mov x10, #0xffffffffffff18f4 movk x10, #0x821, lsl torvalds#16 movk x10, #0x8000, lsl torvalds#32 blr x10 When the address of target __htab_map_lookup_elem is within the range of direct call, the BPF_CALL can be jited to: bl 0xfffffffffd33bc98 This patch does such jit optimization by emitting arm64 direct calls for BPF_CALL when possible, indirect calls otherwise. Without this patch, the jit works as follows. 1. First pass A. Determine jited position and size for each bpf instruction. B. Computed the jited image size. 2. Allocate jited image with size computed in step 1. 3. Second pass A. Adjust jump offset for jump instructions B. Write the final image. This works because, for a given bpf prog, regardless of where the jited image is allocated, the jited result for each instruction is fixed. The second pass differs from the first only in adjusting the jump offsets, like changing "jmp imm1" to "jmp imm2", while the position and size of the "jmp" instruction remain unchanged. Now considering whether to jit BPF_CALL to arm64 direct or indirect call instruction. The choice depends solely on the jump offset: direct call if the jump offset is within 128MB, indirect call otherwise. For a given BPF_CALL, the target address is known, so the jump offset is decided by the jited address of the BPF_CALL instruction. In other words, for a given bpf prog, the jited result for each BPF_CALL is determined by its jited address. The jited address for a BPF_CALL is the jited image address plus the total jited size of all preceding instructions. For a given bpf prog, there are clearly no BPF_CALL instructions before the first BPF_CALL instruction. Since the jited result for all other instructions other than BPF_CALL are fixed, the total jited size preceding the first BPF_CALL is also fixed. Therefore, once the jited image is allocated, the jited address for the first BPF_CALL is fixed. Now that the jited result for the first BPF_CALL is fixed, the jited results for all instructions preceding the second BPF_CALL are fixed. So the jited address and result for the second BPF_CALL are also fixed. Similarly, we can conclude that the jited addresses and results for all subsequent BPF_CALL instructions are fixed. This means that, for a given bpf prog, once the jited image is allocated, the jited address and result for all instructions, including all BPF_CALL instructions, are fixed. Based on the observation, with this patch, the jit works as follows. 1. First pass Estimate the maximum jited image size. In this pass, all BPF_CALLs are jited to arm64 indirect calls since the jump offsets are unknown because the jited image is not allocated. 2. Allocate jited image with size estimated in step 1. 3. Second pass A. Determine the jited result for each BPF_CALL. B. Determine jited address and size for each bpf instruction. 4. Third pass A. Adjust jump offset for jump instructions. B. Write the final image. Signed-off-by: Xu Kuohai <xukuohai@huawei.com>

[ Upstream commit 79f18a4 ] When queues are started, netif_napi_add() and napi_enable() are called. If there are 4 queues and only 3 queues are used for the current configuration, only 3 queues' napi should be registered and enabled. The ionic_qcq_enable() checks whether the .poll pointer is not NULL for enabling only the using queue' napi. Unused queues' napi will not be registered by netif_napi_add(), so the .poll pointer indicates NULL. But it couldn't distinguish whether the napi was unregistered or not because netif_napi_del() doesn't reset the .poll pointer to NULL. So, ionic_qcq_enable() calls napi_enable() for the queue, which was unregistered by netif_napi_del().

commit be346c1 upstream. The code in ocfs2_dio_end_io_write() estimates number of necessary transaction credits using ocfs2_calc_extend_credits(). This however does not take into account that the IO could be arbitrarily large and can contain arbitrary number of extents. Extent tree manipulations do often extend the current transaction but not in all of the cases. For example if we have only single block extents in the tree, ocfs2_mark_extent_written() will end up calling ocfs2_replace_extent_rec() all the time and we will never extend the current transaction and eventually exhaust all the transaction credits if the IO contains many single block extents. Once that happens a WARN_ON(jbd2_handle_buffer_credits(handle) <= 0) is triggered in jbd2_journal_dirty_metadata() and subsequently OCFS2 aborts in response to this error. This was actually triggered by one of our customers on a heavily fragmented OCFS2 filesystem. To fix the issue make sure the transaction always has enough credits for one extent insert before each call of ocfs2_mark_extent_written().

Currently, BPF_CALL is always jited to indirect call. When target is within the range of direct call, BPF_CALL can be jited to direct call. For example, the following BPF_CALL call __htab_map_lookup_elem is always jited to indirect call: mov x10, #0xffffffffffff18f4 movk x10, #0x821, lsl torvalds#16 movk x10, #0x8000, lsl torvalds#32 blr x10 When the address of target __htab_map_lookup_elem is within the range of direct call, the BPF_CALL can be jited to: bl 0xfffffffffd33bc98 This patch does such jit optimization by emitting arm64 direct calls for BPF_CALL when possible, indirect calls otherwise. Without this patch, the jit works as follows. 1. First pass A. Determine jited position and size for each bpf instruction. B. Computed the jited image size. 2. Allocate jited image with size computed in step 1. 3. Second pass A. Adjust jump offset for jump instructions B. Write the final image. This works because, for a given bpf prog, regardless of where the jited image is allocated, the jited result for each instruction is fixed. The second pass differs from the first only in adjusting the jump offsets, like changing "jmp imm1" to "jmp imm2", while the position and size of the "jmp" instruction remain unchanged. Now considering whether to jit BPF_CALL to arm64 direct or indirect call instruction. The choice depends solely on the jump offset: direct call if the jump offset is within 128MB, indirect call otherwise. For a given BPF_CALL, the target address is known, so the jump offset is decided by the jited address of the BPF_CALL instruction. In other words, for a given bpf prog, the jited result for each BPF_CALL is determined by its jited address. The jited address for a BPF_CALL is the jited image address plus the total jited size of all preceding instructions. For a given bpf prog, there are clearly no BPF_CALL instructions before the first BPF_CALL instruction. Since the jited result for all other instructions other than BPF_CALL are fixed, the total jited size preceding the first BPF_CALL is also fixed. Therefore, once the jited image is allocated, the jited address for the first BPF_CALL is fixed. Now that the jited result for the first BPF_CALL is fixed, the jited results for all instructions preceding the second BPF_CALL are fixed. So the jited address and result for the second BPF_CALL are also fixed. Similarly, we can conclude that the jited addresses and results for all subsequent BPF_CALL instructions are fixed. This means that, for a given bpf prog, once the jited image is allocated, the jited address and result for all instructions, including all BPF_CALL instructions, are fixed. Based on the observation, with this patch, the jit works as follows. 1. First pass Estimate the maximum jited image size. In this pass, all BPF_CALLs are jited to arm64 indirect calls since the jump offsets are unknown because the jited image is not allocated. 2. Allocate jited image with size estimated in step 1. 3. Second pass A. Determine the jited result for each BPF_CALL. B. Determine jited address and size for each bpf instruction. 4. Third pass A. Adjust jump offset for jump instructions. B. Write the final image.

…rnel/git/netfilter/nf-next Pablo Neira Ayuso says: ==================== Netfilter updates for net-next The following patchset contains Netfilter updates for net-next: Patch #1 adds ctnetlink support for kernel side filtering for deletions, from Changliang Wu. Patch #2 updates nft_counter support to Use u64_stats_t, from Sebastian Andrzej Siewior. Patch #3 uses kmemdup_array() in all xtables frontends, from Yan Zhen. Patch #4 is a oneliner to use ERR_CAST() in nf_conntrack instead opencoded casting, from Shen Lichuan. Patch #5 removes unused argument in nftables .validate interface, from Florian Westphal. Patch torvalds#6 is a oneliner to correct a typo in nftables kdoc, from Simon Horman. Patch torvalds#7 fixes missing kdoc in nftables, also from Simon. Patch torvalds#8 updates nftables to handle timeout less than CONFIG_HZ. Patch torvalds#9 rejects element expiration if timeout is zero, otherwise it is silently ignored. Patch torvalds#10 disallows element expiration larger than timeout. Patch torvalds#11 removes unnecessary READ_ONCE annotation while mutex is held. Patch torvalds#12 adds missing READ_ONCE/WRITE_ONCE annotation in dynset. Patch torvalds#13 annotates data-races around element expiration. Patch torvalds#14 allocates timeout and expiration in one single set element extension, they are tighly couple, no reason to keep them separated anymore. Patch torvalds#15 updates nftables to interpret zero timeout element as never times out. Note that it is already possible to declare sets with elements that never time out but this generalizes to all kind of set with timeouts. Patch torvalds#16 supports for element timeout and expiration updates. * tag 'nf-next-24-09-06' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/netfilter/nf-next: netfilter: nf_tables: set element timeout update support netfilter: nf_tables: zero timeout means element never times out netfilter: nf_tables: consolidate timeout extension for elements netfilter: nf_tables: annotate data-races around element expiration netfilter: nft_dynset: annotate data-races around set timeout netfilter: nf_tables: remove annotation to access set timeout while holding lock netfilter: nf_tables: reject expiration higher than timeout netfilter: nf_tables: reject element expiration with no timeout netfilter: nf_tables: elements with timeout below CONFIG_HZ never expire netfilter: nf_tables: Add missing Kernel doc netfilter: nf_tables: Correct spelling in nf_tables.h netfilter: nf_tables: drop unused 3rd argument from validate callback ops netfilter: conntrack: Convert to use ERR_CAST() netfilter: Use kmemdup_array instead of kmemdup for multiple allocation netfilter: nft_counter: Use u64_stats_t for statistic. netfilter: ctnetlink: support CTA_FILTER for flush ==================== Link: https://patch.msgid.link/20240905232920.5481-1-pablo@netfilter.org Signed-off-by: Jakub Kicinski <kuba@kernel.org>

[ Upstream commit 79f18a4 ] When queues are started, netif_napi_add() and napi_enable() are called. If there are 4 queues and only 3 queues are used for the current configuration, only 3 queues' napi should be registered and enabled. The ionic_qcq_enable() checks whether the .poll pointer is not NULL for enabling only the using queue' napi. Unused queues' napi will not be registered by netif_napi_add(), so the .poll pointer indicates NULL. But it couldn't distinguish whether the napi was unregistered or not because netif_napi_del() doesn't reset the .poll pointer to NULL. So, ionic_qcq_enable() calls napi_enable() for the queue, which was unregistered by netif_napi_del().

This is the output from the same kernel source built with the same compiler and DYNAMIC_DEBUG=y, where the userspace reproducer works as expected: VFP: bounce: trigger ec532b17 fpexc c0000780 VFP: emulate: INST=0xee377b06 SCR=0x00000000 VFP: bounce: trigger eef1fa10 fpexc c0000780 VFP: emulate: INST=0xeeb40b40 SCR=0x00000000 VFP: raising exceptions 30000000 calvin@raspberry-pi-zero-w ~$ ./vfp-reproducer nan Crudely grepping for vmsr/vmrs instructions in the otherwise nearly idential text for vfp_support_entry() makes the problem obvious: vmlinux.llvm.good [0xc0101cb8] <+48>: vmrs r7, fpexc vmlinux.llvm.good [0xc0101cd8] <+80>: vmsr fpexc, r0 vmlinux.llvm.good [0xc0101d20] <+152>: vmsr fpexc, r7 vmlinux.llvm.good [0xc0101d38] <+176>: vmrs r4, fpexc vmlinux.llvm.good [0xc0101d6c] <+228>: vmrs r0, fpscr vmlinux.llvm.good [0xc0101dc4] <+316>: vmsr fpexc, r0 vmlinux.llvm.good [0xc0101dc8] <+320>: vmrs r0, fpsid vmlinux.llvm.good [0xc0101dcc] <+324>: vmrs r6, fpscr vmlinux.llvm.good [0xc0101e10] <+392>: vmrs r10, fpinst vmlinux.llvm.good [0xc0101eb8] <+560>: vmrs r10, fpinst2 vmlinux.llvm.bad [0xc0101cb8] <+48>: vmrs r7, fpexc vmlinux.llvm.bad [0xc0101cd8] <+80>: vmsr fpexc, r0 vmlinux.llvm.bad [0xc0101d20] <+152>: vmsr fpexc, r7 vmlinux.llvm.bad [0xc0101d30] <+168>: vmrs r0, fpscr vmlinux.llvm.bad [0xc0101d50] <+200>: vmrs r6, fpscr <== BOOM! vmlinux.llvm.bad [0xc0101d6c] <+228>: vmsr fpexc, r0 vmlinux.llvm.bad [0xc0101d70] <+232>: vmrs r0, fpsid vmlinux.llvm.bad [0xc0101da4] <+284>: vmrs r10, fpinst vmlinux.llvm.bad [0xc0101df8] <+368>: vmrs r4, fpexc vmlinux.llvm.bad [0xc0101e5c] <+468>: vmrs r10, fpinst2 I think LLVM's reordering is valid as the code is currently written: the compiler doesn't know the instructions have side effects in hardware. Fix by using "asm volatile" in fmxr() and fmrx(), so they cannot be reordered with respect to each other. The original compiler now produces working kernels on my hardware with DYNAMIC_DEBUG=n.
