init: flush async file closing
When unpacking the initramfs or when mounting block devices we need to ensure that any delayed fput() finished to prevent spurious errors. The init process can be a proper kernel thread or a user mode helper. In the latter case PF_KTHREAD isn't set. So we need to do both flush_delayed_work() and task_work_run(). Since we'll port block device opening and closing to regular file open and closing we need to ensure the same as for the initramfs. So just make that a little helper.

Pull driver core updates from Greg KH:
"Here are the set of driver core and kernfs changes for 6.8-rc1.
Nothing major in here this release cycle, just lots of small cleanups
and some tweaks on kernfs that in the very end, got reverted and will
come back in a safer way next release cycle.
Included in here are:
- more driver core 'const' cleanups and fixes
- fw_devlink=rpm is now the default behavior
- kernfs tiny changes to remove some string functions
- cpu handling in the driver core is updated to work better on many
systems that add topologies and cpus after booting
- other minor changes and cleanups
All of the cpu handling patches have been acked by the respective
maintainers and are coming in here in one series. Everything has been
in linux-next for a while with no reported issues"

initramfs: Expose retained initrd as sysfs file
When the kernel command line option "retain_initrd" is set, we do not free the initrd memory. However, we also don't expose it to anyone for consumption. That leaves us in a weird situation where the only user of this feature is ppc64 and arm64 specific kexec tooling. To make it more generally useful, this patch adds a kobject to the firmware object that contains the initrd context when "retain_initrd" is set. That way, we can access the initrd any time after boot from user space and for example hand it into kexec as --initrd parameter if we want to reboot the same initrd. Or inspect it directly locally. With this patch applied, there is a new /sys/firmware/initrd file when the kernel was booted with an initrd and "retain_initrd" command line option is set.

rootfs: Fix support for rootfstype= when root= is given
Documentation/filesystems/ramfs-rootfs-initramfs.rst states:
If CONFIG_TMPFS is enabled, rootfs will use tmpfs instead of ramfs by
default. To force ramfs, add "rootfstype=ramfs" to the kernel command
line.
This currently does not work when root= is provided since then
saved_root_name contains a string and rootfstype= is ignored. Therefore,
ramfs is currently always chosen when root= is provided.
The current behavior for rootfs's filesystem is:
root= | rootfstype= | chosen rootfs filesystem
------------+-------------+--------------------------
unspecified | unspecified | tmpfs
unspecified | tmpfs | tmpfs
unspecified | ramfs | ramfs
provided | ignored | ramfs
rootfstype= should be respected regardless whether root= is given,
as shown below:
root= | rootfstype= | chosen rootfs filesystem
------------+-------------+--------------------------
unspecified | unspecified | tmpfs (as before)
unspecified | tmpfs | tmpfs (as before)
unspecified | ramfs | ramfs (as before)
provided | unspecified | ramfs (compatibility with before)
provided | tmpfs | tmpfs (new)
provided | ramfs | ramfs (new)
This table represents the new behavior.

Merge tag 'sysctl-6.7-rc1' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/mcgrof/linux
Pull sysctl updates from Luis Chamberlain:
"To help make the move of sysctls out of kernel/sysctl.c not incur a
size penalty sysctl has been changed to allow us to not require the
sentinel, the final empty element on the sysctl array. Joel Granados
has been doing all this work. On the v6.6 kernel we got the major
infrastructure changes required to support this. For v6.7-rc1 we have
all arch/ and drivers/ modified to remove the sentinel. Both arch and
driver changes have been on linux-next for a bit less than a month. It
is worth re-iterating the value:
- this helps reduce the overall build time size of the kernel and run
time memory consumed by the kernel by about ~64 bytes per array
- the extra 64-byte penalty is no longer inncurred now when we move
sysctls out from kernel/sysctl.c to their own files
For v6.8-rc1 expect removal of all the sentinels and also then the
unneeded check for procname == NULL.
The last two patches are fixes recently merged by Krister Johansen
which allow us again to use softlockup_panic early on boot. This used
to work but the alias work broke it. This is useful for folks who want
to detect softlockups super early rather than wait and spend money on
cloud solutions with nothing but an eventual hung kernel. Although
this hadn't gone through linux-next it's also a stable fix, so we
might as well roll through the fixes now"

proc: sysctl: prevent aliased sysctls from getting passed to init
The code that checks for unknown boot options is unaware of the sysctl
alias facility, which maps bootparams to sysctl values. If a user sets
an old value that has a valid alias, a message about an invalid
parameter will be printed during boot, and the parameter will get passed
to init. Fix by checking for the existence of aliased parameters in the
unknown boot parameter code. If an alias exists, don't return an error
or pass the value to init.

x86/retpoline: Make sure there are no unconverted return thunks due to KCSAN
Enabling CONFIG_KCSAN leads to unconverted, default return thunks to remain after patching. As David Kaplan describes in his debugging of the issue, it is caused by a couple of KCSAN-generated constructors which aren't processed by objtool: "When KCSAN is enabled, GCC generates lots of constructor functions named _sub_I_00099_0 which call __tsan_init and then return. The returns in these are generally annotated normally by objtool and fixed up at runtime. But objtool runs on vmlinux.o and vmlinux.o does not include a couple of object files that are in vmlinux, like init/version-timestamp.o and .vmlinux.export.o, both of which contain _sub_I_00099_0 functions. As a result, the returns in these functions are not annotated, and the panic occurs when we call one of them in do_ctors and it uses the default return thunk. This difference can be seen by counting the number of these functions in the object files: $ objdump -d vmlinux.o|grep -c "<_sub_I_00099_0>:" 2601 $ objdump -d vmlinux|grep -c "<_sub_I_00099_0>:" 2603 If these functions are only run during kernel boot, there is no speculation concern." Fix it by disabling KCSAN on version-timestamp.o and .vmlinux.export.o so the extra functions don't get generated. KASAN and GCOV are already disabled for those files.

init/mount: print pretty name of root device when panics
Given a wrong root device, current log may not give the pretty name which is useful to locate root cause. For example, there are 2 blk devs in a VM, /dev/vda which has 2 partitials /dev/vda1 and /dev/vda2 and /dev/vdb which is blank. /dev/vda2 is the right root dev. When set "root=/dev/vdb", we get error log: [ 0.635575] Kernel panic - not syncing: VFS: Unable to mount root fs on unknown-block(254,16) It's not straightforward to find out the root cause as there is lack of the root devive name therefore hard for people to get those info from the device number, in the example, (254,16). It is more comprehensive way to hint the root cause if pretty name is given here, like: [ 0.559887] Kernel panic - not syncing: VFS: Unable to mount root fs on "/dev/vdb" or unknown-block(254,16) Signed-off-by: Jianyong Wu <jianyong.wu@arm.com> Message-Id: <20230907091025.3436878-1-jianyong.wu@arm.com> Signed-off-by: Christian Brauner <brauner@kernel.org> |

init/version.c: Replace strlcpy with strscpy
strlcpy() reads the entire source buffer first. This read may exceed the destination size limit. This is both inefficient and can lead to linear read overflows if a source string is not NUL-terminated [1]. In an effort to remove strlcpy() completely [2], replace strlcpy() here with strscpy(). Direct replacement is safe here since return value of -errno is used to check for truncation instead of sizeof(dest).

sched: Add task_struct->faults_disabled_mapping
There has been a long standing page cache coherence bug with direct IO. This provides part of a mechanism to fix it, currently just used by bcachefs but potentially worth promoting to the VFS. Direct IO evicts the range of the pagecache being read or written to. For reads, we need dirty pages to be written to disk, so that the read doesn't return stale data. For writes, we need to evict that range of the pagecache so that it's not stale after the write completes. However, without a locking mechanism to prevent those pages from being re-added to the pagecache - by a buffered read or page fault - page cache inconsistency is still possible. This isn't necessarily just an issue for userspace when they're playing games; filesystems may hang arbitrary state off the pagecache, and so page cache inconsistency may cause real filesystem bugs, depending on the filesystem. This is less of an issue for iomap based filesystems, but e.g. buffer heads caches disk block mappings (!) and attaches them to the pagecache, and bcachefs attaches disk reservations to pagecache pages. This issue has been hard to fix, because - we need to add a lock (henceforth called pagecache_add_lock), which would be held for the duration of the direct IO - page faults add pages to the page cache, thus need to take the same lock - dio -> gup -> page fault thus can deadlock And we cannot enforce a lock ordering with this lock, since userspace will be controlling the lock ordering (via the fd and buffer arguments to direct IOs), so we need a different method of deadlock avoidance. We need to tell the page fault handler that we're already holding a pagecache_add_lock, and since plumbing it through the entire gup() path would be highly impractical this adds a field to task_struct. Then the full method is: - in the dio path, when we first take the pagecache_add_lock, note the mapping in the current task_struct - in the page fault handler, if faults_disabled_mapping is set, we check if it's the same mapping as the one we're taking a page fault for, and if so return an error. Then we check lock ordering: if there's a lock ordering violation and trylock fails, we'll have to cycle the locks and return an error that tells the DIO path to retry: faults_disabled_mapping is also used for signalling "locks were dropped, please retry". Also relevant to this patch: mapping->invalidate_lock. mapping->invalidate_lock provides most of the required semantics - it's used by truncate/fallocate to block pages being added to the pagecache. However, since it's a rwsem, direct IOs would need to take the write side in order to block page cache adds, and would then be exclusive with each other - we'll need a new type of lock to pair with this approach.

arch: Remove Itanium (IA-64) architecture
The Itanium architecture is obsolete, and an informal survey [0] reveals that any residual use of Itanium hardware in production is mostly HP-UX or OpenVMS based. The use of Linux on Itanium appears to be limited to enthusiasts that occasionally boot a fresh Linux kernel to see whether things are still working as intended, and perhaps to churn out some distro packages that are rarely used in practice. None of the original companies behind Itanium still produce or support any hardware or software for the architecture, and it is listed as 'Orphaned' in the MAINTAINERS file, as apparently, none of the engineers that contributed on behalf of those companies (nor anyone else, for that matter) have been willing to support or maintain the architecture upstream or even be responsible for applying the odd fix. The Intel firmware team removed all IA-64 support from the Tianocore/EDK2 reference implementation of EFI in 2018. (Itanium is the original architecture for which EFI was developed, and the way Linux supports it deviates significantly from other architectures.) Some distros, such as Debian and Gentoo, still maintain [unofficial] ia64 ports, but many have dropped support years ago. While the argument is being made [1] that there is a 'for the common good' angle to being able to build and run existing projects such as the Grid Community Toolkit [2] on Itanium for interoperability testing, the fact remains that none of those projects are known to be deployed on Linux/ia64, and very few people actually have access to such a system in the first place. Even if there were ways imaginable in which Linux/ia64 could be put to good use today, what matters is whether anyone is actually doing that, and this does not appear to be the case. There are no emulators widely available, and so boot testing Itanium is generally infeasible for ordinary contributors. GCC still supports IA-64 but its compile farm [3] no longer has any IA-64 machines. GLIBC would like to get rid of IA-64 [4] too because it would permit some overdue code cleanups. In summary, the benefits to the ecosystem of having IA-64 be part of it are mostly theoretical, whereas the maintenance overhead of keeping it supported is real. So let's rip off the band aid, and remove the IA-64 arch code entirely. This follows the timeline proposed by the Debian/ia64 maintainer [5], which removes support in a controlled manner, leaving IA-64 in a known good state in the most recent LTS release. Other projects will follow once the kernel support is removed.

Merge tag 'wq-for-6.6' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/tj/wq
Pull workqueue updates from Tejun Heo: - Unbound workqueues now support more flexible affinity scopes. The default behavior is to soft-affine according to last level cache boundaries. A work item queued from a given LLC is executed by a worker running on the same LLC but the worker may be moved across cache boundaries as the scheduler sees fit. On machines which multiple L3 caches, which are becoming more popular along with chiplet designs, this improves cache locality while not harming work conservation too much. Unbound workqueues are now also a lot more flexible in terms of execution affinity. Differeing levels of affinity scopes are supported and both the default and per-workqueue affinity settings can be modified dynamically. This should help working around amny of sub-optimal behaviors observed recently with asymmetric ARM CPUs. This involved signficant restructuring of workqueue code. Nothing was reported yet but there's some risk of subtle regressions. Should keep an eye out. - Rescuer workers now has more identifiable comms. - workqueue.unbound_cpus added so that CPUs which can be used by workqueue can be constrained early during boot. - Now that all the in-tree users have been flushed out, trigger warning if system-wide workqueues are flushed. * tag 'wq-for-6.6' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/tj/wq: (31 commits) workqueue: fix data race with the pwq->stats[] increment workqueue: Rename rescuer kworker workqueue: Make default affinity_scope dynamically updatable workqueue: Add "Affinity Scopes and Performance" section to documentation workqueue: Implement non-strict affinity scope for unbound workqueues workqueue: Add workqueue_attrs->__pod_cpumask workqueue: Factor out need_more_worker() check and worker wake-up workqueue: Factor out work to worker assignment and collision handling workqueue: Add multiple affinity scopes and interface to select them workqueue: Modularize wq_pod_type initialization workqueue: Add tools/workqueue/wq_dump.py which prints out workqueue configuration workqueue: Generalize unbound CPU pods workqueue: Factor out clearing of workqueue-only attrs fields workqueue: Factor out actual cpumask calculation to reduce subtlety in wq_update_pod() workqueue: Initialize unbound CPU pods later in the boot workqueue: Move wq_pod_init() below workqueue_init() workqueue: Rename NUMA related names to use pod instead workqueue: Rename workqueue_attrs->no_numa to ->ordered workqueue: Make unbound workqueues to use per-cpu pool_workqueues workqueue: Call wq_update_unbound_numa() on all CPUs in NUMA node on CPU hotplug ... |
