While commit 83ab38ef0a ("jump_label: Fix concurrency issues in
static_key_slow_dec()") fixed one problem, it created yet another,
notably the following is now possible:
slow_dec
if (try_dec) // dec_not_one-ish, false
// enabled == 1
slow_inc
if (inc_not_disabled) // inc_not_zero-ish
// enabled == 2
return
guard((mutex)(&jump_label_mutex);
if (atomic_cmpxchg(1,0)==1) // false, we're 2
slow_dec
if (try-dec) // dec_not_one, true
// enabled == 1
return
else
try_dec() // dec_not_one, false
WARN
Use dec_and_test instead of cmpxchg(), like it was prior to
83ab38ef0a. Add a few WARNs for the paranoid.

Per the example of:
!atomic_cmpxchg(&key->enabled, 0, 1)
the inverse was written as:
atomic_cmpxchg(&key->enabled, 1, 0)
except of course, that while !old is only true for old == 0, old is
true for everything except old == 0.
Fix it to read:
atomic_cmpxchg(&key->enabled, 1, 0) == 1
such that only the 1->0 transition returns true and goes on to disable
the keys.

The commit which tried to fix the concurrency issues of concurrent
static_key_slow_inc() failed to fix the equivalent issues
vs. static_key_slow_dec():
CPU0 CPU1
static_key_slow_dec()
static_key_slow_try_dec()
key->enabled == 1
val = atomic_fetch_add_unless(&key->enabled, -1, 1);
if (val == 1)
return false;
jump_label_lock();
if (atomic_dec_and_test(&key->enabled)) {
--> key->enabled == 0
__jump_label_update()
static_key_slow_dec()
static_key_slow_try_dec()
key->enabled == 0
val = atomic_fetch_add_unless(&key->enabled, -1, 1);
--> key->enabled == -1 <- FAIL
There is another bug in that code, when there is a concurrent
static_key_slow_inc() which enables the key as that sets key->enabled to -1
so on the other CPU
val = atomic_fetch_add_unless(&key->enabled, -1, 1);
will succeed and decrement to -2, which is invalid.
Cure all of this by replacing the atomic_fetch_add_unless() with a
atomic_try_cmpxchg() loop similar to static_key_fast_inc_not_disabled().

When a static_key is marked ro_after_init, its state will never change
(after init), therefore jump_label_update() will never need to iterate
the entries, and thus module load won't actually need to track this --
avoiding the static_key::next write.
Therefore, mark these keys such that jump_label_add_module() might
recognise them and avoid the modification.
Use the special state: 'static_key_linked(key) && !static_key_mod(key)'
to denote such keys.
jump_label_add_module() does not exist under CONFIG_JUMP_LABEL=n, so the
newly-introduced jump_label_init_ro() can be defined as a nop for that
configuration.

1. With CONFIG_JUMP_LABEL=n static_key_slow_inc() doesn't have any
protection against key->enabled refcounter overflow.
2. With CONFIG_JUMP_LABEL=y static_key_slow_inc_cpuslocked()
still may turn the refcounter negative as (v + 1) may overflow.
key->enabled is indeed a ref-counter as it's documented in multiple
places: top comment in jump_label.h, Documentation/staging/static-keys.rst,
etc.
As -1 is reserved for static key that's in process of being enabled,
functions would break with negative key->enabled refcount:
- for CONFIG_JUMP_LABEL=n negative return of static_key_count()
breaks static_key_false(), static_key_true()
- the ref counter may become 0 from negative side by too many
static_key_slow_inc() calls and lead to use-after-free issues.
These flaws result in that some users have to introduce an additional
mutex and prevent the reference counter from overflowing themselves,
see bpf_enable_runtime_stats() checking the counter against INT_MAX / 2.
Prevent the reference counter overflow by checking if (v + 1) > 0.

Use atomic_try_cmpxchg() instead of atomic_cmpxchg (*ptr, old, new) ==
old in static_key_slow_inc_cpuslocked(). x86 CMPXCHG instruction
returns success in ZF flag, so this change saves a compare after
cmpxchg (and related move instruction in front of cmpxchg).
Also, atomic_try_cmpxchg() implicitly assigns old *ptr value to "old" when
cmpxchg fails, enabling further code simplifications.

Instead of defaulting to patching NOP opcodes at init time, and leaving
it to the architectures to override this if this is not needed, switch
to a model where doing nothing is the default. This is the common case
by far, as only MIPS requires NOP patching at init time. On all other
architectures, the correct encodings are emitted by the compiler and so
no initial patching is needed.

It turns out that jump_label_text_reserved() was reporting __init text
as being reserved past the time when the __init text was freed and
re-used.
For a long time, this resulted in, at worst, not being able to kprobe
text that happened to land at the re-used address. However a recent
commit e7bf1ba97a ("jump_label, x86: Emit short JMP") made it a
fatal mistake because it now needs to read the instruction in order to
determine the conflict -- an instruction that's no longer there.

Sites that match init_section_contains() get marked as INIT. For
built-in code init_sections contains both __init and __exit text. OTOH
kernel_text_address() only explicitly includes __init text (and there
are no __exit text markers).
Match what jump_label already does and ignore the warning for INIT
sites. Also see the excellent changelog for commit: 8f35eaa5f2

When the static_key is part of the module, and the module calls
static_key_inc/enable() from it's __init section *AND* has a
static_branch_*() user in that very same __init section, things go
wobbly.
If the static_key lives outside the module, jump_label_add_module()
would append this module's sites to the key and jump_label_update()
would take the static_key_linked() branch and all would be fine.
If all the sites are outside of __init, then everything will be fine
too.
However, when all is aligned just as described above,
jump_label_update() calls __jump_label_update(.init = false) and we'll
not update sites in __init text.

On architectures that discard .exit.* sections at runtime, a
warning is printed for each jump label that is used within an
in-kernel __exit annotated function:
can't patch jump_label at ehci_hcd_cleanup+0x8/0x3c
WARNING: CPU: 0 PID: 1 at kernel/jump_label.c:410 __jump_label_update+0x12c/0x138
As these functions will never get executed (they are free'd along
with the rest of initmem) - we do not need to patch them and should
not display any warnings.
The warning is displayed because the test required to satisfy
jump_entry_is_init is based on init_section_contains (__init_begin to
__init_end) whereas the test in __jump_label_update is based on
init_kernel_text (_sinittext to _einittext) via kernel_text_address).

If the architecture supports the batching of jump label updates, use it!
An easy way to see the benefits of this patch is switching the
schedstats on and off. For instance:
-------------------------- %< ----------------------------
#!/bin/sh
while [ true ]; do
sysctl -w kernel.sched_schedstats=1
sleep 2
sysctl -w kernel.sched_schedstats=0
sleep 2
done
-------------------------- >% ----------------------------
while watching the IPI count:
-------------------------- %< ----------------------------
# watch -n1 "cat /proc/interrupts | grep Function"
-------------------------- >% ----------------------------
With the current mode, it is possible to see +- 168 IPIs each 2 seconds,
while with this patch the number of IPIs goes to 3 each 2 seconds.
Regarding the performance impact of this patch set, I made two measurements:
The time to update a key (the task that is causing the change)
The time to run the int3 handler (the side effect on a thread that
hits the code being changed)
The schedstats static key was chosen as the key to being switched on and off.
The reason being is that it is used in more than 56 places, in a hot path. The
change in the schedstats static key will be done with the following command:
while [ true ]; do
sysctl -w kernel.sched_schedstats=1
usleep 500000
sysctl -w kernel.sched_schedstats=0
usleep 500000
done
In this way, they key will be updated twice per second. To force the hit of the
int3 handler, the system will also run a kernel compilation with two jobs per
CPU. The test machine is a two nodes/24 CPUs box with an Intel Xeon processor
@2.27GHz.
Regarding the update part, on average, the regular kernel takes 57 ms to update
the schedstats key, while the kernel with the batch updates takes just 1.4 ms
on average. Although it seems to be too good to be true, it makes sense: the
schedstats key is used in 56 places, so it was expected that it would take
around 56 times to update the keys with the current implementation, as the
IPIs are the most expensive part of the update.
Regarding the int3 handler, the non-batch handler takes 45 ns on average, while
the batch version takes around 180 ns. At first glance, it seems to be a high
value. But it is not, considering that it is doing 56 updates, rather than one!
It is taking four times more, only. This gain is possible because the patch
uses a binary search in the vector: log2(56)=5.8. So, it was expected to have
an overhead within four times.
(voice of tv propaganda) But, that is not all! As the int3 handler keeps on for
a shorter period (because the update part is on for a shorter time), the number
of hits in the int3 handler decreased by 10%.
The question then is: Is it worth paying the price of "135 ns" more in the int3
handler?
Considering that, in this test case, we are saving the handling of 53 IPIs,
that takes more than these 135 ns, it seems to be a meager price to be paid.
Moreover, the test case was forcing the hit of the int3, in practice, it
does not take that often. While the IPI takes place on all CPUs, hitting
the int3 handler or not!
For instance, in an isolated CPU with a process running in user-space
(nohz_full use-case), the chances of hitting the int3 handler is barely zero,
while there is no way to avoid the IPIs. By bounding the IPIs, we are improving
a lot this scenario.
