If you have a CPU that fails to round up and then run 'btc' you'll end
up crashing in kdb becaue we dereferenced NULL. Let's add a check.
It's wise to also set the task to NULL when leaving the debugger so
that if we fail to round up on a later entry into the debugger we
won't backtrace a stale task.

If we're using the default implementation of kgdb_roundup_cpus() that
uses smp_call_function_single_async() we can end up hanging
kgdb_roundup_cpus() if we try to round up a CPU that failed to round
up before.
Specifically smp_call_function_single_async() will try to wait on the
csd lock for the CPU that we're trying to round up. If the previous
round up never finished then that lock could still be held and we'll
just sit there hanging.
There's not a lot of use trying to round up a CPU that failed to round
up before. Let's keep a flag that indicates whether the CPU started
but didn't finish to round up before. If we see that flag set then
we'll skip the next round up.
In general we have a few goals here:
- We never want to end up calling smp_call_function_single_async()
when the csd is still locked. This is accomplished because
flush_smp_call_function_queue() unlocks the csd _before_ invoking
the callback. That means that when kgdb_nmicallback() runs we know
for sure the the csd is no longer locked. Thus when we set
"rounding_up = false" we know for sure that the csd is unlocked.
- If there are no timeouts rounding up we should never skip a round
up.
NOTE #1: In general trying to continue running after failing to round
up CPUs doesn't appear to be supported in the debugger. When I
simulate this I find that kdb reports "Catastrophic error detected"
when I try to continue. I can overrule and continue anyway, but it
should be noted that we may be entering the land of dragons here.
Possibly the "Catastrophic error detected" was added _because_ of the
future failure to round up, but even so this is an area of the code
that hasn't been strongly tested.
NOTE #2: I did a bit of testing before and after this change. I
introduced a 10 second hang in the kernel while holding a spinlock
that I could invoke on a certain CPU with 'taskset -c 3 cat /sys/...".
Before this change if I did:
- Invoke hang
- Enter debugger
- g (which warns about Catastrophic error, g again to go anyway)
- g
- Enter debugger
...I'd hang the rest of the 10 seconds without getting a debugger
prompt. After this change I end up in the debugger the 2nd time after
only 1 second with the standard warning about 'Timed out waiting for
secondary CPUs.'
I'll also note that once the CPU finished waiting I could actually
debug it (aka "btc" worked)
I won't promise that everything works perfectly if the errant CPU
comes back at just the wrong time (like as we're entering or exiting
the debugger) but it certainly seems like an improvement.
NOTE #3: setting 'kgdb_info[cpu].rounding_up = false' is in
kgdb_nmicallback() instead of kgdb_call_nmi_hook() because some
implementations override kgdb_call_nmi_hook(). It shouldn't hurt to
have it in kgdb_nmicallback() in any case.
NOTE #4: this logic is really only needed because there is no API call
like "smp_try_call_function_single_async()" or "smp_csd_is_locked()".
If such an API existed then we'd use it instead, but it seemed a bit
much to add an API like this just for kgdb.

Looking closely at it, it seems like a really bad idea to be calling
local_irq_enable() in kgdb_roundup_cpus(). If nothing else that seems
like it could violate spinlock semantics and cause a deadlock.
Instead, let's use a private csd alongside
smp_call_function_single_async() to round up the other CPUs. Using
smp_call_function_single_async() doesn't require interrupts to be
enabled so we can remove the offending bit of code.
In order to avoid duplicating this across all the architectures that
use the default kgdb_roundup_cpus(), we'll add a "weak" implementation
to debug_core.c.
Looking at all the people who previously had copies of this code,
there were a few variants. I've attempted to keep the variants
working like they used to. Specifically:
* For arch/arc we passed NULL to kgdb_nmicallback() instead of
get_irq_regs().
* For arch/mips there was a bit of extra code around
kgdb_nmicallback()
NOTE: In this patch we will still get into trouble if we try to round
up a CPU that failed to round up before. We'll try to round it up
again and potentially hang when we try to grab the csd lock. That's
not new behavior but we'll still try to do better in a future patch.

enables the migitation for sandboxed processes.
- Rework the code to handle the conditional STIBP/IBPB control and
remove the now unused ptrace_may_access_sched() optimization

- Disable STIBP automatically when SMT is disabled
- Optimize the switch_to() logic to avoid MSR writes and invocations
of __switch_to_xtra().
- Make the asynchronous speculation TIF updates synchronous to
prevent stale mitigation state.

Mel Gorman reports a hackbench regression with psi that would prohibit
shipping the suse kernel with it default-enabled, but he'd still like
users to be able to opt in at little to no cost to others.
With the current combination of CONFIG_PSI and the psi_disabled bool set
from the commandline, this is a challenge. Do the following things to
make it easier:
1. Add a config option CONFIG_PSI_DEFAULT_DISABLED that allows distros
to enable CONFIG_PSI in their kernel but leave the feature disabled
unless a user requests it at boot-time.
To avoid double negatives, rename psi_disabled= to psi=.
2. Make psi_disabled a static branch to eliminate any branch costs
when the feature is disabled.
In terms of numbers before and after this patch, Mel says:

"While rewriting the function graph tracer, I discovered a design flaw
that was introduced by a patch that tried to fix one bug, but by doing
so created another bug.
As both bugs corrupt the output (but they do not crash the kernel), I
decided to fix the design such that it could have both bugs fixed. The
original fix, fixed time reporting of the function graph tracer when
doing a max_depth of one. This was code that can test how much the
kernel interferes with userspace. But in doing so, it could corrupt
the time keeping of the function profiler.
The issue is that the curr_ret_stack variable was being used for two
different meanings. One was to keep track of the stack pointer on the
ret_stack (shadow stack used by the function graph tracer), and the
other use case was the graph call depth. Although, the two may be
closely related, where they got updated was the issue that lead to the
two different bugs that required the two use cases to be updated
differently.
The big issue with this fix is that it requires changing each
architecture. The good news is, I was able to remove a lot of code
that was duplicated within the architectures and place it into a
single location. Then I could make the fix in one place.
I pushed this code into linux-next to let it settle over a week, and
before doing so, I cross compiled all the affected architectures to
make sure that they built fine.

The tracefs file set_graph_function is used to only function graph functions
that are listed in that file (or all functions if the file is empty). The
way this is implemented is that the function graph tracer looks at every
function, and if the current depth is zero and the function matches
something in the file then it will trace that function. When other functions
are called, the depth will be greater than zero (because the original
function will be at depth zero), and all functions will be traced where the
depth is greater than zero.
The issue is that when a function is first entered, and the handler that
checks this logic is called, the depth is set to zero. If an interrupt comes
in and a function in the interrupt handler is traced, its depth will be
greater than zero and it will automatically be traced, even if the original
function was not. But because the logic only looks at depth it may trace
interrupts when it should not be.
The recent design change of the function graph tracer to fix other bugs
caused the depth to be zero while the function graph callback handler is
being called for a longer time, widening the race of this happening. This
bug was actually there for a longer time, but because the race window was so
small it seldom happened. The Fixes tag below is for the commit that widen
the race window, because that commit belongs to a series that will also help
fix the original bug.

The profiler uses trace->depth to find its entry on the ret_stack, but the
depth may not match the actual location of where its entry is (if an
interrupt were to preempt the processing of the profiler for another
function, the depth and the curr_ret_stack will be different).
Have it use the curr_ret_stack as the index to find its ret_stack entry
instead of using the depth variable, as that is no longer guaranteed to be
the same.

The function graph profiler uses the ret_stack to store the "subtime" and
reuse it by nested functions and also on the return. But the current logic
has the profiler callback called before the ret_stack is updated, and it is
just modifying the ret_stack that will later be allocated (it's just lucky
that the "subtime" is not touched when it is allocated).
This could also cause a crash if we are at the end of the ret_stack when
this happens.
By reversing the order of the allocating the ret_stack and then calling the
callbacks attached to a function being traced, the ret_stack entry is no
longer used before it is allocated.

In the past, curr_ret_stack had two functions. One was to denote the depth
of the call graph, the other is to keep track of where on the ret_stack the
data is used. Although they may be slightly related, there are two cases
where they need to be used differently.
The one case is that it keeps the ret_stack data from being corrupted by an
interrupt coming in and overwriting the data still in use. The other is just
to know where the depth of the stack currently is.
The function profiler uses the ret_stack to save a "subtime" variable that
is part of the data on the ret_stack. If curr_ret_stack is modified too
early, then this variable can be corrupted.
The "max_depth" option, when set to 1, will record the first functions going
into the kernel. To see all top functions (when dealing with timings), the
depth variable needs to be lowered before calling the return hook. But by
lowering the curr_ret_stack, it makes the data on the ret_stack still being
used by the return hook susceptible to being overwritten.
Now that there's two variables to handle both cases (curr_ret_depth), we can
move them to the locations where they can handle both cases.

calling of the callback attached to the return of the function.
Commit 03274a3ffb ("tracing/fgraph: Adjust fgraph depth before calling
trace return callback") moved the calling of the callback to after the
setting of the curr_ret_stack, even stating that it was safe to do so, when
in fact, it was the reason there was a barrier() there (yes, I should have
commented that barrier()).
Not only does the curr_ret_stack keep track of the current call graph depth,
it also keeps the ret_stack content from being overwritten by new data.
The function profiler, uses the "subtime" variable of ret_stack structure
and by moving the curr_ret_stack, it allows for interrupts to use the same
structure it was using, corrupting the data, and breaking the profiler.
To fix this, there needs to be two variables to handle the call stack depth
and the pointer to where the ret_stack is being used, as they need to change
at two different locations.

As all architectures now call function_graph_enter() to do the entry work,
no architecture should ever call ftrace_push_return_trace(). Make it static.
This is needed to prepare for a fix of a design bug on how the curr_ret_stack
is used.
