coredump: add tracepoint for coredump events
Coredump is a generally useful and interesting event in the lifetime
of a process. Add a tracepoint so it can be monitored through the
standard kernel tracing infrastructure.
BPF-based crash monitoring is an advanced approach that
allows real-time crash interception: by attaching a BPF program at
this point, tools can use bpf_get_stack() with BPF_F_USER_STACK to
capture the user-space stack trace at the exact moment of the crash,
before the process is fully terminated, without waiting for a
coredump file to be written and parsed.
However, there is currently no stable kernel API for this use case.
Existing tools rely on attaching fentry probes to do_coredump(),
which is an internal function whose signature changes across kernel
versions, breaking these tools.
Add a stable tracepoint that fires at the beginning of
do_coredump(), providing BPF programs a reliable attachment point.
At tracepoint time, the crashing process context is still live, so
BPF programs can call bpf_get_stack() with BPF_F_USER_STACK to
extract the user-space backtrace.
The tracepoint records:
- sig: signal number that triggered the coredump
- comm: process name
Example output:
$ echo 1 > /sys/kernel/tracing/events/coredump/coredump/enable
$ sleep 999 &
$ kill -SEGV $!
$ cat /sys/kernel/tracing/trace
# TASK-PID CPU# ||||| TIMESTAMP FUNCTION
# | | | ||||| | |
sleep-634 [036] ..... 145.222206: coredump: sig=11 comm=sleep

Convert more 'alloc_obj' cases to default GFP_KERNEL arguments
This converts some of the visually simpler cases that have been split over multiple lines. I only did the ones that are easy to verify the resulting diff by having just that final GFP_KERNEL argument on the next line. Somebody should probably do a proper coccinelle script for this, but for me the trivial script actually resulted in an assertion failure in the middle of the script. I probably had made it a bit _too_ trivial. So after fighting that far a while I decided to just do some of the syntactically simpler cases with variations of the previous 'sed' scripts. The more syntactically complex multi-line cases would mostly really want whitespace cleanup anyway. Signed-off-by: Linus Torvalds <torvalds@linux-foundation.org> |

Convert 'alloc_obj' family to use the new default GFP_KERNEL argument
This was done entirely with mindless brute force, using
git grep -l '\<k[vmz]*alloc_objs*(.*, GFP_KERNEL)' |
xargs sed -i 's/\(alloc_objs*(.*\), GFP_KERNEL)/\1)/'
to convert the new alloc_obj() users that had a simple GFP_KERNEL
argument to just drop that argument.
Note that due to the extreme simplicity of the scripting, any slightly
more complex cases spread over multiple lines would not be triggered:
they definitely exist, but this covers the vast bulk of the cases, and
the resulting diff is also then easier to check automatically.
For the same reason the 'flex' versions will be done as a separate
conversion.

treewide: Replace kmalloc with kmalloc_obj for non-scalar types
This is the result of running the Coccinelle script from scripts/coccinelle/api/kmalloc_objs.cocci. The script is designed to avoid scalar types (which need careful case-by-case checking), and instead replace kmalloc-family calls that allocate struct or union object instances: Single allocations: kmalloc(sizeof(TYPE), ...) are replaced with: kmalloc_obj(TYPE, ...) Array allocations: kmalloc_array(COUNT, sizeof(TYPE), ...) are replaced with: kmalloc_objs(TYPE, COUNT, ...) Flex array allocations: kmalloc(struct_size(PTR, FAM, COUNT), ...) are replaced with: kmalloc_flex(*PTR, FAM, COUNT, ...) (where TYPE may also be *VAR) The resulting allocations no longer return "void *", instead returning "TYPE *". Signed-off-by: Kees Cook <kees@kernel.org> |

Pull networking updates from Jakub Kicinski:
"Core & protocols:
- Replace busylock at the Tx queuing layer with a lockless list.
Resulting in a 300% (4x) improvement on heavy TX workloads, sending
twice the number of packets per second, for half the cpu cycles.
- Allow constantly busy flows to migrate to a more suitable CPU/NIC
queue.
Normally we perform queue re-selection when flow comes out of idle,
but under extreme circumstances the flows may be constantly busy.
Add sysctl to allow periodic rehashing even if it'd risk packet
reordering.
- Optimize the NAPI skb cache, make it larger, use it in more paths.
- Attempt returning Tx skbs to the originating CPU (like we already
did for Rx skbs).
- Various data structure layout and prefetch optimizations from Eric.
- Remove ktime_get() from the recvmsg() fast path, ktime_get() is
sadly quite expensive on recent AMD machines.
- Extend threaded NAPI polling to allow the kthread busy poll for
packets.
- Make MPTCP use Rx backlog processing. This lowers the lock
pressure, improving the Rx performance.
- Support memcg accounting of MPTCP socket memory.
- Allow admin to opt sockets out of global protocol memory accounting
(using a sysctl or BPF-based policy). The global limits are a poor
fit for modern container workloads, where limits are imposed using
cgroups.
- Improve heuristics for when to kick off AF_UNIX garbage collection.
- Allow users to control TCP SACK compression, and default to 33% of
RTT.
- Add tcp_rcvbuf_low_rtt sysctl to let datacenter users avoid
unnecessarily aggressive rcvbuf growth and overshot when the
connection RTT is low.
- Preserve skb metadata space across skb_push / skb_pull operations.
- Support for IPIP encapsulation in the nftables flowtable offload.
- Support appending IP interface information to ICMP messages (RFC
5837).
- Support setting max record size in TLS (RFC 8449).
- Remove taking rtnl_lock from RTM_GETNEIGHTBL and RTM_SETNEIGHTBL.
- Use a dedicated lock (and RCU) in MPLS, instead of rtnl_lock.
- Let users configure the number of write buffers in SMC.
- Add new struct sockaddr_unsized for sockaddr of unknown length,
from Kees.
- Some conversions away from the crypto_ahash API, from Eric Biggers.
- Some preparations for slimming down struct page.
- YAML Netlink protocol spec for WireGuard.
- Add a tool on top of YAML Netlink specs/lib for reporting commonly
computed derived statistics and summarized system state.
Driver API:
- Add CAN XL support to the CAN Netlink interface.
- Add uAPI for reporting PHY Mean Square Error (MSE) diagnostics, as
defined by the OPEN Alliance's "Advanced diagnostic features for
100BASE-T1 automotive Ethernet PHYs" specification.
- Add DPLL phase-adjust-gran pin attribute (and implement it in
zl3073x).
- Refactor xfrm_input lock to reduce contention when NIC offloads
IPsec and performs RSS.
- Add info to devlink params whether the current setting is the
default or a user override. Allow resetting back to default.
- Add standard device stats for PSP crypto offload.
- Leverage DSA frame broadcast to implement simple HSR frame
duplication for a lot of switches without dedicated HSR offload.
- Add uAPI defines for 1.6Tbps link modes.
Device drivers:
- Add Motorcomm YT921x gigabit Ethernet switch support.
- Add MUCSE driver for N500/N210 1GbE NIC series.
- Convert drivers to support dedicated ops for timestamping control,

operations for PHY timestamping.
- Add (and convert most drivers to) a dedicated ethtool callback for
reading the Rx ring count.

Merge tag 'vfs-6.18-rc1.workqueue' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/vfs/vfs
Pull vfs workqueue updates from Christian Brauner: "This contains various workqueue changes affecting the filesystem layer. Currently if a user enqueue a work item using schedule_delayed_work() the used wq is "system_wq" (per-cpu wq) while queue_delayed_work() use WORK_CPU_UNBOUND (used when a cpu is not specified). The same applies to schedule_work() that is using system_wq and queue_work(), that makes use again of WORK_CPU_UNBOUND. This replaces the use of system_wq and system_unbound_wq. system_wq is a per-CPU workqueue which isn't very obvious from the name and system_unbound_wq is to be used when locality is not required. So this renames system_wq to system_percpu_wq, and system_unbound_wq to system_dfl_wq. This also adds a new WQ_PERCPU flag to allow the fs subsystem users to explicitly request the use of per-CPU behavior. Both WQ_UNBOUND and WQ_PERCPU flags coexist for one release cycle to allow callers to transition their calls. WQ_UNBOUND will be removed in a next release cycle" * tag 'vfs-6.18-rc1.workqueue' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/vfs/vfs: fs: WQ_PERCPU added to alloc_workqueue users fs: replace use of system_wq with system_percpu_wq fs: replace use of system_unbound_wq with system_dfl_wq |

fs: replace use of system_unbound_wq with system_dfl_wq
Currently if a user enqueue a work item using schedule_delayed_work() the used wq is "system_wq" (per-cpu wq) while queue_delayed_work() use WORK_CPU_UNBOUND (used when a cpu is not specified). The same applies to schedule_work() that is using system_wq and queue_work(), that makes use again of WORK_CPU_UNBOUND. This lack of consistentcy cannot be addressed without refactoring the API. system_unbound_wq should be the default workqueue so as not to enforce locality constraints for random work whenever it's not required. Adding system_dfl_wq to encourage its use when unbound work should be used. The old system_unbound_wq will be kept for a few release cycles.

mm: update coredump logic to correctly use bitmap mm flags
The coredump logic is slightly different from other users in that it both stores mm flags and additionally sets and gets using masks. Since the MMF_DUMPABLE_* flags must remain as they are for uABI reasons, and of course these are within the first 32-bits of the flags, it is reasonable to provide access to these in the same fashion so this logic can all still keep working as it has been. Therefore, introduce coredump-specific helpers __mm_flags_get_dumpable() and __mm_flags_set_mask_dumpable() for this purpose, and update all core dump users of mm flags to use these.

coredump: Fix return value in coredump_parse()
The coredump_parse() function is bool type. It should return true on
success and false on failure. The cn_printf() returns zero on success
or negative error codes. This mismatch means that when "return err;"
here, it is treated as success instead of failure. Change it to return
false instead.

Merge tag 'vfs-6.17-rc1.pidfs' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/vfs/vfs
Pull pidfs updates from Christian Brauner:
- persistent info
Persist exit and coredump information independent of whether anyone
currently holds a pidfd for the struct pid.
The current scheme allocated pidfs dentries on-demand repeatedly.
This scheme is reaching it's limits as it makes it impossible to pin
information that needs to be available after the task has exited or
coredumped and that should not be lost simply because the pidfd got
closed temporarily. The next opener should still see the stashed
information.
This is also a prerequisite for supporting extended attributes on
pidfds to allow attaching meta information to them.
If someone opens a pidfd for a struct pid a pidfs dentry is allocated
and stashed in pid->stashed. Once the last pidfd for the struct pid
is closed the pidfs dentry is released and removed from pid->stashed.
So if 10 callers create a pidfs dentry for the same struct pid
sequentially, i.e., each closing the pidfd before the other creates a
new one then a new pidfs dentry is allocated every time.
Because multiple tasks acquiring and releasing a pidfd for the same
struct pid can race with each another a task may still find a valid
pidfs entry from the previous task in pid->stashed and reuse it. Or
it might find a dead dentry in there and fail to reuse it and so
stashes a new pidfs dentry. Multiple tasks may race to stash a new
pidfs dentry but only one will succeed, the other ones will put their
dentry.
The current scheme aims to ensure that a pidfs dentry for a struct
pid can only be created if the task is still alive or if a pidfs
dentry already existed before the task was reaped and so exit
information has been was stashed in the pidfs inode.
That's great except that it's buggy. If a pidfs dentry is stashed in
pid->stashed after pidfs_exit() but before __unhash_process() is
called we will return a pidfd for a reaped task without exit
information being available.
The pidfds_pid_valid() check does not guard against this race as it
doens't sync at all with pidfs_exit(). The pid_has_task() check might
be successful simply because we're before __unhash_process() but
after pidfs_exit().
Introduce a new scheme where the lifetime of information associated
with a pidfs entry (coredump and exit information) isn't bound to the
lifetime of the pidfs inode but the struct pid itself.
The first time a pidfs dentry is allocated for a struct pid a struct
pidfs_attr will be allocated which will be used to store exit and
coredump information.
If all pidfs for the pidfs dentry are closed the dentry and inode can
be cleaned up but the struct pidfs_attr will stick until the struct
pid itself is freed. This will ensure minimal memory usage while
persisting relevant information.
The new scheme has various advantages. First, it allows to close the
race where we end up handing out a pidfd for a reaped task for which
no exit information is available. Second, it minimizes memory usage.
Third, it allows to remove complex lifetime tracking via dentries
when registering a struct pid with pidfs. There's no need to get or
put a reference. Instead, the lifetime of exit and coredump
information associated with a struct pid is bound to the lifetime of
struct pid itself.
- extended attributes
Now that we have a way to persist information for pidfs dentries we
can start supporting extended attributes on pidfds. This will allow
userspace to attach meta information to tasks.
One natural extension would be to introduce a custom pidfs.* extended
attribute space and allow for the inheritance of extended attributes
across fork() and exec().
The first simple scheme will allow privileged userspace to set
trusted extended attributes on pidfs inodes.
- Allow autonomous pidfs file handles
Various filesystems such as pidfs and drm support opening file
handles without having to require a file descriptor to identify the
filesystem. The filesystem are global single instances and can be
trivially identified solely on the information encoded in the file
handle.
This makes it possible to not have to keep or acquire a sentinal file
descriptor just to pass it to open_by_handle_at() to identify the
filesystem. That's especially useful when such sentinel file
descriptor cannot or should not be acquired.
For pidfs this means a file handle can function as full replacement
for storing a pid in a file. Instead a file handle can be stored and
reopened purely based on the file handle.
Such autonomous file handles can be opened with or without specifying
a a file descriptor. If no proper file descriptor is used the
FD_PIDFS_ROOT sentinel must be passed. This allows us to define
further special negative fd sentinels in the future.
Userspace can trivially test for support by trying to open the file
handle with an invalid file descriptor.
- Allow pidfds for reaped tasks with SCM_PIDFD messages
This is a logical continuation of the earlier work to create pidfds
for reaped tasks through the SO_PEERPIDFD socket option merged in
