The stackdepot code is used by KASAN and lockdep for recoding stack
traces. Both of these track allocation context information, and so their
internal allocations must obey the caller allocation contexts to avoid
generating their own false positive warnings that have nothing to do with
the code they are instrumenting/tracking.
We also don't want recording stack traces to deplete emergency memory
reserves - debug code is useless if it creates new issues that can't be
replicated when the debug code is disabled.
Switch the stackdepot allocation masking to use gfp_nested_mask() to
address these issues. gfp_nested_mask() also strips GFP_ZONEMASK
naturally, so that greatly simplifies this code.

Commit 3ee34eabac ("lib/stackdepot: fix first entry having a 0-handle")
changed the meaning of the pool_index field to mean "the pool index plus
1". This made the code accessing this field less self-documenting, as
well as causing debuggers such as drgn to not be able to easily remain
compatible with both old and new kernels, because they typically do that
by testing for presence of the new field. Because stackdepot is a
debugging tool, we should make sure that it is debugger friendly.
Therefore, give the field a different name to improve readability as well
as enabling debugger backwards compatibility.
This is needed in 6.9, which would otherwise become an odd release with
the new semantics and old name so debuggers wouldn't recognize the new
semantics there.

The stack_pools[] array has DEPOT_MAX_POOLS. The "pools_num" tracks the
number of pools which are initialized. See depot_init_pool() for more
details.
If pool_index == pools_num_cached, this will read one element beyond what
we want. If not all the pools are initialized, then the pool will be
NULL, triggering a WARN(), and if they are all initialized it will read
one element beyond the end of the array.

page_owner needs to increment a stack_record refcount when a new
allocation occurs, and decrement it on a free operation. In order to do
that, we need to have a way to get a stack_record from a handle.
Implement __stack_depot_get_stack_record() which just does that, and make
it public so page_owner can use it.
Also, traversing all stackdepot buckets comes with its own complexity,
plus we would have to implement a way to mark only those stack_records
that were originated from page_owner, as those are the ones we are
interested in. For that reason, page_owner maintains its own list of
stack_records, because traversing that list is faster than traversing all
buckets while keeping at the same time a low complexity.
For now, add to stack_list only the stack_records of dummy_handle and
failure_handle, and set their refcount of 1.
Further patches will add code to increment or decrement stack_records
count on allocation and free operation.

Patch series "page_owner: print stacks and their outstanding allocations",
v10.
page_owner is a great debug functionality tool that lets us know about all
pages that have been allocated/freed and their specific stacktrace. This
comes very handy when debugging memory leaks, since with some scripting we
can see the outstanding allocations, which might point to a memory leak.
In my experience, that is one of the most useful cases, but it can get
really tedious to screen through all pages and try to reconstruct the
stack <-> allocated/freed relationship, becoming most of the time a
daunting and slow process when we have tons of allocation/free operations.
This patchset aims to ease that by adding a new functionality into
page_owner. This functionality creates a new directory called
'page_owner_stacks' under 'sys/kernel//debug' with a read-only file called
'show_stacks', which prints out all the stacks followed by their
outstanding number of allocations (being that the times the stacktrace has
allocated but not freed yet). This gives us a clear and a quick overview
of stacks <-> allocated/free.
We take advantage of the new refcount_f field that stack_record struct
gained, and increment/decrement the stack refcount on every
__set_page_owner() (alloc operation) and __reset_page_owner (free
operation) call.
Unfortunately, we cannot use the new stackdepot api STACK_DEPOT_FLAG_GET
because it does not fulfill page_owner needs, meaning we would have to
special case things, at which point makes more sense for page_owner to do
its own {dec,inc}rementing of the stacks. E.g: Using
STACK_DEPOT_FLAG_PUT, once the refcount reaches 0, such stack gets
evicted, so page_owner would lose information.
This patchset also creates a new file called 'set_threshold' within
'page_owner_stacks' directory, and by writing a value to it, the stacks
which refcount is below such value will be filtered out.

This patch (of 7):
The very first entry of stack_record gets a handle of 0, but this is wrong
because stackdepot treats a 0-handle as a non-valid one. E.g: See the
check in stack_depot_fetch()
Fix this by adding and offset of 1.
This bug has been lurking since the very beginning of stackdepot, but no
one really cared as it seems. Because of that I am not adding a Fixes
tag.

With the introduction of the pool_rwlock (reader-writer lock), several
fast paths end up taking the pool_rwlock as readers. Furthermore,
stack_depot_put() unconditionally takes the pool_rwlock as a writer.
Despite allowing readers to make forward-progress concurrently,
reader-writer locks have inherent cache contention issues, which does not
scale well on systems with large CPU counts.
Rework the synchronization story of stack depot to again avoid taking any
locks in the fast paths. This is done by relying on RCU-protected list
traversal, and the NMI-safe subset of RCU to delay reuse of freed stack
records. See code comments for more details.
Along with the performance issues, this also fixes incorrect nesting of
rwlock within a raw_spinlock, given that stack depot should still be
usable from anywhere:
| [ BUG: Invalid wait context ]
| -----------------------------
| swapper/0/1 is trying to lock:
| ffffffff89869be8 (pool_rwlock){..--}-{3:3}, at: stack_depot_save_flags

| #1: ffff888100092018 (&pool->lock){-.-.}-{2:2}, at: __queue_work <-- raw_spin_lock
Stack depot usage stats are similar to the previous version after a KASAN
kernel boot:
$ cat /sys/kernel/debug/stackdepot/stats
pools: 838
allocations: 29865
frees: 6604
in_use: 23261
freelist_size: 1879
The number of pools is the same as previously. The freelist size is
minimally larger, but this may also be due to variance across system
boots. This shows that even though we do not eagerly wait for the next
RCU grace period (such as with synchronize_rcu() or call_rcu()) after
freeing a stack record - requiring depot_pop_free() to "poll" if an entry
may be used - new allocations are very likely to happen in later RCU grace
periods.

Add a few basic stats counters for stack depot that can be used to derive
if stack depot is working as intended. This is a snapshot of the new
stats after booting a system with a KASAN-enabled kernel:
$ cat /sys/kernel/debug/stackdepot/stats
pools: 838
allocations: 29861
frees: 6561
in_use: 23300
freelist_size: 1840
Generally, "pools" should be well below the max; once the system is
booted, "in_use" should remain relatively steady.

KMSAN is frequently used in fuzzing scenarios and thus saves a lot of
stack traces. As KMSAN does not support evicting stack traces from the
stack depot, the stack depot capacity might be reached quickly with large
stack records.
Adjust the maximum number of stack depot pools for this case.
The average size of a stack trace saved into the stack depot is ~16
frames. Thus, adjust the maximum pools number accordingly to keep the
maximum number of stack traces that can be saved into the stack depot
similar to the one that was allowed before the stack trace eviction
changes.

Add stack_depot_put, a function that decrements the reference counter on a
stack record and removes it from the stack depot once the counter reaches
0.
Internally, when removing a stack record, the function unlinks it from the
hash table bucket and returns to the freelist.
With this change, the users of stack depot can call stack_depot_put when
keeping a stack trace in the stack depot is not needed anymore. This
allows avoiding polluting the stack depot with irrelevant stack traces and
thus have more space to store the relevant ones before the stack depot
reaches its capacity.

Currently, stack depot uses the following locking scheme:
1. Lock-free accesses when looking up a stack record, which allows to
have multiple users to look up records in parallel;
2. Spinlock for protecting the stack depot pools and the hash table
when adding a new record.
For implementing the eviction of stack traces from stack depot, the
lock-free approach is not going to work anymore, as we will need to be
able to also remove records from the hash table.
Convert the spinlock into a read/write lock, and drop the atomic
accesses, as they are no longer required.
Looking up stack traces is now protected by the read lock and adding new
records - by the write lock. One of the following patches will add a
new function for evicting stack records, which will be protected by the
write lock as well.
With this change, multiple users can still look up records in parallel.
This is preparatory patch for implementing the eviction of stack records
from the stack depot.

Split code in depot_alloc_stack and depot_init_pool into 3 functions:
1. depot_keep_next_pool that keeps preallocated memory for the next pool
if required.
2. depot_update_pools that moves on to the next pool if there's no space
left in the current pool, uses preallocated memory for the new current
pool if required, and calls depot_keep_next_pool otherwise.
3. depot_alloc_stack that calls depot_update_pools and then allocates
a stack record as before.
This makes it somewhat easier to follow the logic of depot_alloc_stack and
also serves as a preparation for implementing the eviction of stack
records from the stack depot.
