x86/kprobes: Prohibit probing on functions before kprobe_int3_handler()

2019-02-13T07:16:39Z

Prohibit probing on the functions called before kprobe_int3_handler() in do_int3(). More specifically, ftrace_int3_handler(), poke_int3_handler(), and ist_enter(). And since rcu_nmi_enter() is called by ist_enter(), it also should be marked as NOKPROBE_SYMBOL. Since those are handled before kprobe_int3_handler(), probing those functions can cause a breakpoint recursion and crash the kernel.

srcu: Remove srcu_queue_delayed_work_on()

2019-01-25T23:36:42Z

srcu_queue_delayed_work_on() disables preemption (and therefore CPU hotplug in RCU's case) and then checks based on its own accounting if a CPU is online. If the CPU is online it uses queue_delayed_work_on() otherwise it fallbacks to queue_delayed_work(). The problem here is that queue_work() on -RT does not work with disabled preemption. queue_work_on() works also on an offlined CPU. queue_delayed_work_on() has the problem that it is possible to program a timer on an offlined CPU. This timer will fire once the CPU is online again. But until then, the timer remains programmed and nothing will happen. Add a local timer which will fire (as requested per delay) on the local CPU and then enqueue the work on the specific CPU. RCUtorture testing with SRCU-P for 24h showed no problems.

rcu: Repair rcu_nmi_exit() docbook header

This commit removes the "@irq" argument from the rcu_nmi_exit() docbook header, given that this function now has no arguments. Reported-by: kbuild test robot Signed-off-by: Paul E. McKenney

rcu: Rename rcu_process_callbacks() to rcu_core() for Tree RCU

2019-01-25T23:35:22Z

Although the name rcu_process_callbacks() still makes sense for Tiny RCU, where most of what it does is invoke callbacks, it no longer makes much sense for Tree RCU, especially given that the actually callback invocation is relegated to rcu_do_batch(), or, for no-CBs CPUs, to the rcuo kthreads. Especially in the latter case, rcu_process_callbacks() has very little to do with actual callbacks. A better description of this function is that it performs RCU's core processing. This commit therefore changes the name of Tree RCU's rcu_process_callbacks() function to rcu_core(), which also has the virtue of being consistent with the existing invoke_rcu_core() function. While in the area, the header comment is reworked. Signed-off-by: Paul E. McKenney

rcu: Rename rcu_check_callbacks() to rcu_sched_clock_irq()

2019-01-25T23:35:21Z

The name rcu_check_callbacks() arguably made sense back in the early 2000s when RCU was quite a bit simpler than it is today, but it has become quite misleading, especially with the advent of dyntick-idle and NO_HZ_FULL. The rcu_check_callbacks() function is RCU's hook into the scheduling-clock interrupt, and is now but one of many ways that callbacks get promoted to invocable state. This commit therefore changes the name to rcu_sched_clock_irq(), which is the same number of characters and clearly indicates this function's relation to the rest of the Linux kernel. In addition, for the sake of consistency, rcu_flavor_check_callbacks() is also renamed to rcu_flavor_sched_clock_irq(). While in the area, the header comments for both functions are reworked.

rcu: Prevent needless ->gp_seq_needed update in __note_gp_changes()

2019-01-25T23:30:00Z

Currently, __note_gp_changes() checks to see if the rcu_node structure's ->gp_seq_needed is greater than or equal to that of the rcu_data structure, and if so, updates the rcu_data structure's ->gp_seq_needed field. This results in a useless store in the case where the two fields are equal. This commit therefore carries out this store only in the case where the rcu_node structure's ->gp_seq_needed is strictly greater than that of the rcu_data structure.
