[ Upstream commit 5239a89b06 ]
This reverts commit 76d62f24db.
So while priority inversion on the pmsg_lock is an occasional
problem that an rt_mutex would help with, in uses where logging
is writing to pmsg heavily from multiple threads, the pmsg_lock
can be heavily contended.
After this change landed, it was reported that cases where the
mutex locking overhead was commonly adding on the order of 10s
of usecs delay had suddenly jumped to ~msec delay with rtmutex.
It seems the slight differences in the locks under this level
of contention causes the normal mutexes to utilize the spinning
optimizations, while the rtmutexes end up in the sleeping
slowpath (which allows additional threads to pile on trying
to take the lock).
In this case, it devolves to a worse case senerio where the lock
acquisition and scheduling overhead dominates, and each thread
is waiting on the order of ~ms to do ~us of work.
Obviously, having tons of threads all contending on a single
lock for logging is non-optimal, so the proper fix is probably
reworking pstore pmsg to have per-cpu buffers so we don't have
contention.
Additionally, Steven Rostedt has provided some furhter
optimizations for rtmutexes that improves the rtmutex spinning
path, but at least in my testing, I still see the test tripping
into the sleeping path on rtmutexes while utilizing the spinning
path with mutexes.
But in the short term, lets revert the change to the rt_mutex
and go back to normal mutexes to avoid a potentially major
performance regression. And we can work on optimizations to both
rtmutexes and finer-grained locking for pstore pmsg in the
future.

If mem-type is specified in the device tree
it would end up overriding the record_size
field instead of populating mem_type.
As record_size is currently parsed after the
improper assignment with default size 0 it
continued to work as expected regardless of the
value found in the device tree.
Simply changing the target field of the struct
is enough to get mem-type working as expected.

In commit 76d62f24db ("pstore: Switch pmsg_lock to an rt_mutex
to avoid priority inversion") I changed a lock to an rt_mutex.
However, its possible that CONFIG_RT_MUTEXES is not enabled,
which then results in a build failure, as the 0day bot detected:
https://lore.kernel.org/linux-mm/202212211244.TwzWZD3H-lkp@intel.com/
Thus this patch changes CONFIG_PSTORE_PMSG to select
CONFIG_RT_MUTEXES, which ensures the build will not fail.

Here is the set of driver core and kernfs changes for 6.2-rc1.
The "big" change in here is the addition of a new macro,
container_of_const() that will preserve the "const-ness" of a pointer
passed into it.
The "problem" of the current container_of() macro is that if you pass in
a "const *", out of it can comes a non-const pointer unless you
specifically ask for it. For many usages, we want to preserve the
"const" attribute by using the same call. For a specific example, this
series changes the kobj_to_dev() macro to use it, allowing it to be used
no matter what the const value is. This prevents every subsystem from
having to declare 2 different individual macros (i.e.
kobj_const_to_dev() and kobj_to_dev()) and having the compiler enforce
the const value at build time, which having 2 macros would not do
either.
The driver for all of this have been discussions with the Rust kernel
developers as to how to properly mark driver core, and kobject, objects
as being "non-mutable". The changes to the kobject and driver core in
this pull request are the result of that, as there are lots of paths
where kobjects and device pointers are not modified at all, so marking
them as "const" allows the compiler to enforce this.
So, a nice side affect of the Rust development effort has been already
to clean up the driver core code to be more obvious about object rules.
All of this has been bike-shedded in quite a lot of detail on lkml with
different names and implementations resulting in the tiny version we
have in here, much better than my original proposal. Lots of subsystem
maintainers have acked the changes as well.
Other than this change, included in here are smaller stuff like:
- kernfs fixes and updates to handle lock contention better
- vmlinux.lds.h fixes and updates
- sysfs and debugfs documentation updates
- device property updates
All of these have been in the linux-next tree for quite a while with no
problems, OTHER than some merge issues with other trees that should be
obvious when you hit them (block tree deletes a driver that this tree
modifies, iommufd tree modifies code that this tree also touches). If
there are merge problems with these trees, please let me know.

Wei Wang reported seeing priority inversion caused latencies
caused by contention on pmsg_lock, and suggested it be switched
to a rt_mutex.
I was initially hesitant this would help, as the tasks in that
trace all seemed to be SCHED_NORMAL, so the benefit would be
limited to only nice boosting.
However, another similar issue was raised where the priority
inversion was seen did involve a blocked RT task so it is clear
this would be helpful in that case.

During early boot, memblock reserves the pages for the ramoops reserved
memory node in DT that would otherwise be part of the direct lowmem
mapping. Pstore's ram backend reuses those reserved pages to change the
memory type (writeback or non-cached) by passing the pages to vmap()
(see pfn_to_page() usage in persistent_ram_vmap() for more details) with
specific flags. When read_kcore() starts iterating over the vmalloc
region, it runs over the virtual address that vmap() returned for
ramoops. In aligned_vread() the virtual address is passed to
vmalloc_to_page() which returns the page struct for the reserved lowmem
area. That lowmem page is passed to kmap_atomic(), which effectively
calls page_to_virt() that assumes a lowmem page struct must be directly
accessible with __va() and friends. These pages are mapped via vmap()
though, and the lowmem mapping was never made, so accessing them via the
lowmem virtual address oopses like above.
Let's side-step this problem by passing VM_IOREMAP to vmap(). This will
tell vread() to not include the ramoops region in the kcore. Instead the
area will look like a bunch of zeros. The alternative is to teach kmap()
about vmalloc areas that intersect with lowmem. Presumably such a change
isn't a one-liner, and there isn't much interest in inspecting the
ramoops region in kcore files anyway, so the most expedient route is
taken for now.

The pstore dump function doesn't alert at all on errors - despite
pstore is usually a last resource and if it fails users won't be
able to read the kernel log, this is not the case for server users
with serial access, for example.
So, let's at least attempt to inform such advanced users on the first
backend writing error detected during the kmsg dump - this is also
very useful for pstore debugging purposes.

Currently this tuning is only exposed as a filesystem option,
but most Linux distros automatically mount pstore, hence changing
this setting requires remounting it. Also, if that mount option
wasn't explicitly set it doesn't show up in mount information,
so users cannot check what is the current value of kmsg_bytes.
Let's then expose it as a module parameter, allowing both user
visibility at all times (even if not manually set) and also the
possibility of setting that as a boot/module parameter.

The pstore infrastructure supports one single backend at a time;
trying to load a another backend causes an error and displays a
message, introduced on commit 0d7cd09a3d ("pstore: Improve
register_pstore() error reporting").
Happens that this message is not really clear about the situation,
also the current error returned (-EPERM) isn't accurate, whereas
-EBUSY makes more sense. We have another place in the code that
relies in the -EBUSY return for a similar check.
So, make it consistent here by returning -EBUSY and using a

The pstore infrastructure is able to collect the dmesg with
both backends tested, but since decompression fails it's
unreadable. With this revert everything is back to normal.

The EFI pstore backend will need to store per-record variable name data
when we switch away from the efivars layer. Add a priv field to struct
pstore_record, and document it as holding a backend specific pointer
that is assumed to be a kmalloc()d buffer, and will be kfree()d when the
entire record is freed.

The info->read() function returns ssize_t. That means that info->read()
either returns either negative error codes or a positive number
representing the bytes read.
The "rcnt" variable should be declared as ssize_t as well. Most places
do this correctly but psz_kmsg_recover_meta() needed to be fixed.
This code casts the "rcnt" to int. That is unnecessary when "rcnt"
is already signed. It's also slightly wrong because if info->read()
returned a very high (more than INT_MAX) number of bytes then this might
treat that as an error. This bug cannot happen in real life, so it
doesn't affect run time, but static checkers correctly complain that it
is wrong.

pstore_dump() is *always* invoked in atomic context (nowadays in an RCU
read-side critical section, before that under a spinlock).
It doesn't make sense to try to use semaphores here.
This is mostly a revert of commit ea84b580b9 ("pstore: Convert buf_lock
to semaphore"), except that two parts aren't restored back exactly as they
were:
- keep the lock initialization in pstore_register
- in efi_pstore_write(), always set the "block" flag to false
- omit "is_locked", that was unnecessary since
commit 959217c84c ("pstore: Actually give up during locking failure")
- fix the bailout message
The actual problem that the buggy commit was trying to address may have
been that the use of preemptible() in efi_pstore_write() was wrong - it
only looks at preempt_count() and the state of IRQs, but __rcu_read_lock()
doesn't touch either of those under CONFIG_PREEMPT_RCU.
(Sidenote: CONFIG_PREEMPT_RCU means that the scheduler can preempt tasks in
RCU read-side critical sections, but you're not allowed to actively
block/reschedule.)
Lockdep probably never caught the problem because it's very rare that you
actually hit the contended case, so lockdep always just sees the
down_trylock(), not the down_interruptible(), and so it can't tell that
there's a problem.

it usually appears just after a kernel crash log which normally means
quite the opposite of "no errors". Prefix the message to clarify that

This patch:
- Moves `include/linux/zstd.h` -> `include/linux/zstd_lib.h`
- Updates modified zstd headers to yearless copyright
- Adds a new API in `include/linux/zstd.h` that is functionally
equivalent to the in-use subset of the current API. Functions are
renamed to avoid symbol collisions with zstd, to make it clear it is
not the upstream zstd API, and to follow the kernel style guide.
- Updates all callers to use the new API.
There are no functional changes in this patch. Since there are no
functional change, I felt it was okay to update all the callers in a
single patch. Once the API is approved, the callers are mechanically
changed.
This patch is preparing for the 3rd patch in this series, which updates
zstd to version 1.4.10. Since the upstream zstd API is no longer exposed
to callers, the update can happen transparently.

pstore-blk just pokes directly into the pagecache for the block
device without going through the file operations for that by faking

As this breaks the control of the block layer of it's page cache,
and even now just works by accident only the best thing is to just
disable this driver.

There could be a scenario where we define some region
in normal memory and use them store to logs which is later
retrieved by bootloader during warm reset.
In this scenario, we wanted to treat this memory as normal

is an overhead. Making it cacheable could improve
performance.

Rather than storing the iterator information in the registered
kmsg_dumper structure, create a separate iterator structure. The
kmsg_dump_iter structure can reside on the stack of the caller, thus
allowing lockless use of the kmsg_dump functions.
Update code that accesses the kernel logs using the kmsg_dumper
structure to use the new kmsg_dump_iter structure. For kmsg_dumpers,
this also means adding a call to kmsg_dump_rewind() to initialize
the iterator.

Since mount_single() calls pstore_kill_sb() when pstore_fill_super()

option name ("PSTORE_COMPRESSION" instead of "PSTORE_COMPRESS"). As
a result compression and decompression of pstore records was always
disabled.
Use the correct config option name.

The major update to this release is that there's a new arch config option called:
CONFIG_HAVE_DYNAMIC_FTRACE_WITH_ARGS. Currently, only x86_64 enables it.
All the ftrace callbacks now take a struct ftrace_regs instead of a struct
pt_regs. If the architecture has HAVE_DYNAMIC_FTRACE_WITH_ARGS enabled, then
the ftrace_regs will have enough information to read the arguments of the
function being traced, as well as access to the stack pointer. This way, if
a user (like live kernel patching) only cares about the arguments, then it
can avoid using the heavier weight "regs" callback, that puts in enough
information in the struct ftrace_regs to simulate a breakpoint exception
(needed for kprobes).
New config option that audits the timestamps of the ftrace ring buffer at
most every event recorded. The "check_buffer()" calls will conflict with
mainline, because I purposely added the check without including the fix that
it caught, which is in mainline. Running a kernel built from the commit of
the added check will trigger it.
Ftrace recursion protection has been cleaned up to move the protection to
the callback itself (this saves on an extra function call for those
callbacks).
Perf now handles its own RCU protection and does not depend on ftrace to do
it for it (saving on that extra function call).
New debug option to add "recursed_functions" file to tracefs that lists all
the places that triggered the recursion protection of the function tracer.
This will show where things need to be fixed as recursion slows down the
function tracer.
The eval enum mapping updates done at boot up are now offloaded to a work
queue, as it caused a noticeable pause on slow embedded boards.
Various clean ups and last minute fixes.

Now that the hd_struct always has a block device attached to it, there is
no need for having two size field that just get out of sync.
Additionally the field in hd_struct did not use proper serialization,
possibly allowing for torn writes. By only using the block_device field
this problem also gets fixed.
