Dave Airlie reports that gcc-13.1.1 has started complaining about some
of the workqueue code in 32-bit arm builds:

  kernel/workqueue.c: In function ‘get_work_pwq’:
  kernel/workqueue.c:713:24: error: cast to pointer from integer of different size [-Werror=int-to-pointer-cast]
    713 |                 return (void *)(data &amp; WORK_STRUCT_WQ_DATA_MASK);
        |                        ^
  [ ... a couple of other cases ... ]

and while it's not immediately clear exactly why gcc started complaining
about it now, I suspect it's some C23-induced enum type handlign fixup in
gcc-13 is the cause.

Whatever the reason for starting to complain, the code and data types
are indeed disgusting enough that the complaint is warranted.

The wq code ends up creating various "helper constants" (like that
WORK_STRUCT_WQ_DATA_MASK) using an enum type, which is all kinds of
confused.  The mask needs to be 'unsigned long', not some unspecified
enum type.

To make matters worse, the actual "mask and cast to a pointer" is
repeated a couple of times, and the cast isn't even always done to the
right pointer, but - as the error case above - to a 'void *' with then
the compiler finishing the job.

That's now how we roll in the kernel.

So create the masks using the proper types rather than some ambiguous
enumeration, and use a nice helper that actually does the type
conversion in one well-defined place.

Incidentally, this magically makes clang generate better code.  That,
admittedly, is really just a sign of clang having been seriously
confused before, and cleaning up the typing unconfuses the compiler too.

   - Fix for an old bug which triggers if a cgroup subsystem is
     remounted to a different hierarchy while someone is reading its
     cgroup.procs/tasks file. The risk is pretty low given how seldom
     cgroup subsystems are moved across hierarchies.

Pull timer fix from Thomas Gleixner:
 "A single regression fix for a regression fix:

  For a long time the tick was aligned to clock MONOTONIC so that the
  tick event happened at a multiple of nanoseconds per tick starting
  from clock MONOTONIC = 0.

  At some point this changed as the refined jiffies clocksource which is
  used during boot before the TSC or other clocksources becomes usable,
  was adjusted with a boot offset, so that time 0 is closer to the point
  where the kernel starts.

  This broke the assumption in the tick code that when the tick setup
  happens early on ktime_get() will return a multiple of nanoseconds per
  tick. As a consequence applications which aligned their periodic
  execution so that it does not collide with the tick were not longer
  guaranteed that the tick period starts from time 0.

  The fix for this regression was to realign the tick when it is
  initially set up to a multiple of tick periods. That works as long as
  the underlying tick device supports periodic mode, but breaks under
  certain conditions when the tick device supports only one shot mode.

  Depending on the offset, the alignment delta to clock MONOTONIC can
  get in a range where the minimal programming delta of the underlying
  clock event device is larger than the calculated delta to the next
  tick. This results in a boot hang as the tick code tries to play catch
  up, but as the tick never fires jiffies are not advanced so it keeps
  trying for ever.

  Solve this by moving the tick alignement into the NOHZ / HIGHRES
  enablement code because at that point it is guaranteed that the
  underlying clocksource is high resolution capable and not longer
  depending on the tick.

  This is far before user space starts, so at the point where
  applications try to align their timers, the old behaviour of the tick
  happening at a multiple of nanoseconds per tick starting from clock
  MONOTONIC = 0 is restored"

We currently allow to create perf link for program with
expected_attach_type == BPF_TRACE_KPROBE_MULTI.

This will cause crash when we call helpers like get_attach_cookie or
get_func_ip in such program, because it will call the kprobe_multi's
version (current-&gt;bpf_ctx context setup) of those helpers while it
expects perf_link's current-&gt;bpf_ctx context setup.

Making sure that we use BPF_TRACE_KPROBE_MULTI expected_attach_type
only for programs attaching through kprobe_multi link.

<content type='text'>
When building a kernel with LLVM=1, LLVM_IAS=0 and CONFIG_KASAN=y, LLVM
leaves DWARF tags for the "asan.module_ctor" &amp; co symbols. In turn,
pahole creates BTF_KIND_FUNC entries for these and this makes the BTF
metadata validation fail because they contain a dot.

In a dramatic turn of event, this BTF verification failure can cause
the netfilter_bpf initialization to fail, causing netfilter_core to
free the netfilter_helper hashmap and netfilter_ftp to trigger a
use-after-free. The risk of u-a-f in netfilter will be addressed
separately but the existence of "asan.module_ctor" debug info under some
build conditions sounds like a good enough reason to accept functions
that contain dots in BTF.

Although using only LLVM=1 is the recommended way to compile clang-based
kernels, users can certainly do LLVM=1, LLVM_IAS=0 as well and we still
try to support that combination according to Nick. To clarify:

  - &gt; v5.10 kernel, LLVM=1 (LLVM_IAS=0 is not the default) is recommended,
    but user can still have LLVM=1, LLVM_IAS=0 to trigger the issue

  - &lt;= 5.10 kernel, LLVM=1 (LLVM_IAS=0 is the default) is recommended in
    which case GNU as will be used

Pull tracing fixes from Steven Rostedt:

 - Fix MAINTAINERS file to point to proper mailing list for rtla and rv

   The mailing list pointed to linux-trace-devel instead of
   linux-trace-kernel. The former is for the tracing libraries and the
   latter is for anything in the Linux kernel tree. The wrong mailing
   list was used because linux-trace-kernel did not exist when rtla and
   rv were created.

 - User events:

    - Fix matching of dynamic events to their user events

      When user writes to dynamic_events file, a lookup of the
      registered dynamic events is made, but there were some cases that
      a match could be incorrectly made.

    - Add auto cleanup of user events

      Have the user events automatically get removed when the last
      reference (file descriptor) is closed. This was asked for to
      prevent leaks of user events hanging around needing admins to
      clean them up.

    - Add persistent logic (but not let user space use it yet)

      In some cases, having a persistent user event (one that does not
      get cleaned up automatically) is useful. But there's still debates
      about how to expose this to user space. The infrastructure is
      added, but the API is not.

    - Update the selftests

The tick period is aligned very early while the first clock_event_device is
registered. At that point the system runs in periodic mode and switches
later to one-shot mode if possible.

The next wake-up event is programmed based on the aligned value
(tick_next_period) but the delta value, that is used to program the
clock_event_device, is computed based on ktime_get().

With the subtracted offset, the device fires earlier than the exact time
frame. With a large enough offset the system programs the timer for the
next wake-up and the remaining time left is too small to make any boot
progress. The system hangs.

Move the alignment later to the setup of tick_sched timer. At this point
the system switches to oneshot mode and a high resolution clocksource is
available. At this point it is safe to align tick_next_period because
ktime_get() will now return accurate (not jiffies based) time.

<id>urn:sha1:a65442edb47a6d9c974b50049296ac9ddb378fee</id>
<content type='text'>
Currently user events need to be manually deleted via the delete IOCTL
call or via the dynamic_events file. Most operators and processes wish
to have these events auto cleanup when they are no longer used by
anything to prevent them piling without manual maintenance. However,
some operators may not want this, such as pre-registering events via the
dynamic_events tracefs file.

Update user_event_put() to attempt an auto delete of the event if it's
the last reference. The auto delete must run in a work queue to ensure
proper behavior of class-&gt;reg() invocations that don't expect the call
to go away from underneath them during the unregister. Add work_struct
to user_event struct to ensure we can do this reliably.

Add a persist flag, that is not yet exposed, to ensure we can toggle
between auto-cleanup and leaving the events existing in the future. When
a non-zero flag is seen during register, return -EINVAL to ensure ABI
is clear for the user processes while we work out the best approach for
persistent events.
