Patch series "support setting sysctl parameters from kernel command line", v3.
This series adds support for something that seems like many people
always wanted but nobody added it yet, so here's the ability to set
sysctl parameters via kernel command line options in the form of
sysctl.vm.something=1
The important part is Patch 1. The second, not so important part is an
attempt to clean up legacy one-off parameters that do the same thing as
a sysctl. I don't want to remove them completely for compatibility
reasons, but with generic sysctl support the idea is to remove the
one-off param handlers and treat the parameters as aliases for the
sysctl variants.
I have identified several parameters that mention sysctl counterparts in
Documentation/admin-guide/kernel-parameters.txt but there might be more.
The conversion also has varying level of success:
- numa_zonelist_order is converted in Patch 2 together with adding the
necessary infrastructure. It's easy as it doesn't really do anything
but warn on deprecated value these days.
- hung_task_panic is converted in Patch 3, but there's a downside that
now it only accepts 0 and 1, while previously it was any integer
value
- nmi_watchdog maps to two sysctls nmi_watchdog and hardlockup_panic,
so there's no straighforward conversion possible
- traceoff_on_warning is a flag without value and it would be required
to handle that somehow in the conversion infractructure, which seems
pointless for a single flag
This patch (of 5):
A recently proposed patch to add vm_swappiness command line parameter in
addition to existing sysctl [1] made me wonder why we don't have a
general support for passing sysctl parameters via command line.
Googling found only somebody else wondering the same [2], but I haven't
found any prior discussion with reasons why not to do this.
Settings the vm_swappiness issue aside (the underlying issue might be
solved in a different way), quick search of kernel-parameters.txt shows
there are already some that exist as both sysctl and kernel parameter -
hung_task_panic, nmi_watchdog, numa_zonelist_order, traceoff_on_warning.
A general mechanism would remove the need to add more of those one-offs
and might be handy in situations where configuration by e.g.
/etc/sysctl.d/ is impractical.
Hence, this patch adds a new parse_args() pass that looks for parameters
prefixed by 'sysctl.' and tries to interpret them as writes to the
corresponding sys/ files using an temporary in-kernel procfs mount.
This mechanism was suggested by Eric W. Biederman [3], as it handles
all dynamically registered sysctl tables, even though we don't handle
modular sysctls. Errors due to e.g. invalid parameter name or value
are reported in the kernel log.
The processing is hooked right before the init process is loaded, as
some handlers might be more complicated than simple setters and might
need some subsystems to be initialized. At the moment the init process
can be started and eventually execute a process writing to /proc/sys/
then it should be also fine to do that from the kernel.
Sysctls registered later on module load time are not set by this
mechanism - it's expected that in such scenarios, setting sysctl values
from userspace is practical enough.

Some init systems (eg. systemd) have init at their own paths, for
example, /usr/lib/systemd/systemd. A compatibility symlink to one of the
hardcoded init paths is provided by another package, usually named
something like systemd-sysvcompat or similar.
Currently distro maintainers who are hands-off on the bootloader are more
or less required to include those compatibility links as part of their
base distribution, because it's hard to migrate away from them since
there's a risk some users will not get the message to set init= on the
kernel command line appropriately.
Moreover, for distributions where the init system is something the
distribution itself is opinionated about (eg. Arch, which has systemd in
the required `base` package), we could usually reasonably configure this
ahead of time when building the distribution kernel. However, we
currently simply don't have any way to configure the kernel to do this.
Here's an example discussion where removing sysvcompat was discussed by
distro maintainers[0].
This patch adds a new Kconfig tunable, CONFIG_DEFAULT_INIT, which if set
is tried before the hardcoded fallback list. So the order of precedence
is now thus:
1. init= on command line (on failure: panic)
2. CONFIG_DEFAULT_INIT (on failure: try #3)
3. Hardcoded fallback list (on failure: panic)
This new config parameter will allow distribution maintainers to move away
from these compatibility links safely, without having to worry that their
users might not have the right init=.
There are also two other benefits of this over having the distribution
maintain a symlink:
1. One of the value propositions over simply having distributions
maintain a /sbin/init symlink via a package is that it also frees
distributions which have a preferred default, but not mandatory, init
system from having their package manager fight with their users for
control of /{s,}bin/init. Instead, the distribution simply makes
their preference known in CONFIG_DEFAULT_INIT, and if the user
installs another init system and uninstalls the default one they can
still make use of /{s,}bin/init and friends for their own uses. This
makes more cases Just Work(tm) without the user having to perform
extra configuration via init=.
2. Since before this we don't know which path the distribution actually
_intends_ to serve init from, we don't pr_err if it is simply
missing, and usually will just silently put the user in a /bin/sh
shell. Now that the distribution can make a declaration of intent, we
can be more vocal when this init system fails to launch for any
reason, even if it's simply because no file exists at that location,
speeding up the palaver of init/mount dependency/etc debugging a bit.

Pull x86 fix from Borislav Petkov:
"A single fix for early boot crashes of kernels built with gcc10 and
stack protector enabled"
* tag 'x86_urgent_for_v5.7-rc7' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/tip/tip:
x86: Fix early boot crash on gcc-10, third try
... or the odyssey of trying to disable the stack protector for the
function which generates the stack canary value.
The whole story started with Sergei reporting a boot crash with a kernel
built with gcc-10:
Kernel panic — not syncing: stack-protector: Kernel stack is corrupted in: start_secondary
CPU: 1 PID: 0 Comm: swapper/1 Not tainted 5.6.0-rc5—00235—gfffb08b37df9 #139
Hardware name: Gigabyte Technology Co., Ltd. To be filled by O.E.M./H77M—D3H, BIOS F12 11/14/2013
Call Trace:
dump_stack
panic
? start_secondary
__stack_chk_fail
start_secondary
secondary_startup_64
-—-[ end Kernel panic — not syncing: stack—protector: Kernel stack is corrupted in: start_secondary
This happens because gcc-10 tail-call optimizes the last function call
in start_secondary() - cpu_startup_entry() - and thus emits a stack
canary check which fails because the canary value changes after the
boot_init_stack_canary() call.
To fix that, the initial attempt was to mark the one function which
generates the stack canary with:
__attribute__((optimize("-fno-stack-protector"))) ... start_secondary(void *unused)
however, using the optimize attribute doesn't work cumulatively
as the attribute does not add to but rather replaces previously
supplied optimization options - roughly all -fxxx options.
The key one among them being -fno-omit-frame-pointer and thus leading to
not present frame pointer - frame pointer which the kernel needs.
The next attempt to prevent compilers from tail-call optimizing
the last function call cpu_startup_entry(), shy of carving out
start_secondary() into a separate compilation unit and building it with
-fno-stack-protector, was to add an empty asm("").
This current solution was short and sweet, and reportedly, is supported
by both compilers but we didn't get very far this time: future (LTO?)
optimization passes could potentially eliminate this, which leads us
to the third attempt: having an actual memory barrier there which the
compiler cannot ignore or move around etc.
That should hold for a long time, but hey we said that about the other
two solutions too so...

printk_deferred(), similarly to printk_safe/printk_nmi, does not
immediately attempt to print a new message on the consoles, avoiding
calls into non-reentrant kernel paths, e.g. scheduler or timekeeping,
which potentially can deadlock the system.
Those printk() flavors, instead, rely on per-CPU flush irq_work to print
messages from safer contexts. For same reasons (recursive scheduler or
timekeeping calls) printk() uses per-CPU irq_work in order to wake up
user space syslog/kmsg readers.
However, only printk_safe/printk_nmi do make sure that per-CPU areas
have been initialised and that it's safe to modify per-CPU irq_work.
This means that, for instance, should printk_deferred() be invoked "too
early", that is before per-CPU areas are initialised, printk_deferred()
will perform illegal per-CPU access.
Lech Perczak [0] reports that after commit 1b710b1b10 ("char/random:
silence a lockdep splat with printk()") user-space syslog/kmsg readers
are not able to read new kernel messages.
The reason is printk_deferred() being called too early (as was pointed
out by Petr and John).
Fix printk_deferred() and do not queue per-CPU irq_work before per-CPU
areas are initialized.

Add bootconfig magic word to the end of bootconfig on initrd
image for indicating explicitly the bootconfig is there.
Also tools/bootconfig treats wrong size or wrong checksum or
parse error as an error, because if there is a bootconfig magic
word, there must be a bootconfig.
The bootconfig magic word is "#BOOTCONFIG\n", 12 bytes word.
Thus the block image of the initrd file with bootconfig is
as follows.
[Initrd][bootconfig][size][csum][#BOOTCONFIG\n]

The current implementation does a naive search of "bootconfig" on the kernel
command line. But this could find "bootconfig" that is part of another
option in quotes (although highly unlikely). But it also needs to find '--'
on the kernel command line to know if it should append a '--' or not when a
bootconfig in the initrd file has an "init" section. The check uses the
naive strstr() to find to see if it exists. But this can return a false
positive if it exists in an option and then the "init" section in the initrd
will not be appended properly.
Using parse_args() to find both of these will solve both of these problems.

As the bootconfig is appended to the initrd it is not as easy to modify as
the kernel command line. If there's some issue with the kernel, and the
developer wants to boot a pristine kernel, it should not be needed to modify
the initrd to remove the bootconfig for a single boot.
As bootconfig is silently added (if the admin does not know where to look
they may not know it's being loaded). It should be explicitly added to the
kernel cmdline. The loading of the bootconfig is only done if "bootconfig"
is on the kernel command line. This will let admins know that the kernel
command line is extended.
Note, after adding printk()s for when the size is too great or the checksum
is wrong, exposed that the current method always looked for the boot config,
and if this size and checksum matched, it would parse it (as if either is
wrong a printk has been added to show this). It's better to only check this
if the boot config is asked to be looked for.
