11a921909f kernel misc: Remove the now superfluous sentinel elements from ctl_table array
This commit comes at the tail end of a greater effort to remove the
empty elements at the end of the ctl_table arrays (sentinels) which
will reduce the overall build time size of the kernel and run time
memory bloat by ~64 bytes per sentinel (further information Link :
https://lore.kernel.org/all/ZO5Yx5JFogGi%2FcBo@bombadil.infradead.org/)

Remove the sentinel from ctl_table arrays. Reduce by one the values used
to compare the size of the adjusted arrays.

5c3273ec3c kernel/hung_task.c: export sysctl_hung_task_timeout_secs
needed for thread_with_file; also rare but not unheard of to need this
in module code, when blocking on user input.

one workaround used by some code is wait_event_interruptible() - but
that can be buggy if the outer context isn't expecting unwinding.

b1f712b308 hung_task: print message when hung_task_warnings gets down to zero.
It's useful to report it when hung_task_warnings gets down to zero, so
that we can know if kernel log was lost or there is no hung task was
detected.

fdf756f712 sched: Fix more TASK_state comparisons
Boris reported hung_task splats after commit 5aec788aeb ("sched: Fix
TASK_state comparisons"). Upon closer consideration of that change it
doesn't only exclude TASK_KILLABLE, but also TASK_IDLE.

Update the comment to reflect this fact and add an additional
TASK_NOLOAD test to exclude them.

Additionally, remove the TASK_FREEZABLE early exit from
check_hung_task(), a freezable task is not a frozen task.

5aec788aeb sched: Fix TASK_state comparisons
Task state is fundamentally a bitmask; direct comparisons are probably
not working as intended. Specifically the normal wait-state have
a number of possible modifiers:

  TASK_UNINTERRUPTIBLE:	TASK_WAKEKILL, TASK_NOLOAD, TASK_FREEZABLE
  TASK_INTERRUPTIBLE:   TASK_FREEZABLE

Specifically, the addition of TASK_FREEZABLE wrecked
__wait_is_interruptible(). This however led to an audit of direct
comparisons yielding the rest of the changes.

f5d39b0208 freezer,sched: Rewrite core freezer logic
Rewrite the core freezer to behave better wrt thawing and be simpler
in general.

By replacing PF_FROZEN with TASK_FROZEN, a special block state, it is
ensured frozen tasks stay frozen until thawed and don't randomly wake
up early, as is currently possible.

As such, it does away with PF_FROZEN and PF_FREEZER_SKIP, freeing up
two PF_flags (yay!).

Specifically; the current scheme works a little like:

	freezer_do_not_count();
	schedule();
	freezer_count();

And either the task is blocked, or it lands in try_to_freezer()
through freezer_count(). Now, when it is blocked, the freezer
considers it frozen and continues.

However, on thawing, once pm_freezing is cleared, freezer_count()
stops working, and any random/spurious wakeup will let a task run
before its time.

That is, thawing tries to thaw things in explicit order; kernel
threads and workqueues before doing bringing SMP back before userspace
etc.. However due to the above mentioned races it is entirely possible
for userspace tasks to thaw (by accident) before SMP is back.

This can be a fatal problem in asymmetric ISA architectures (eg ARMv9)
where the userspace task requires a special CPU to run.

As said; replace this with a special task state TASK_FROZEN and add
the following state transitions:

	TASK_FREEZABLE	-> TASK_FROZEN
	__TASK_STOPPED	-> TASK_FROZEN
	__TASK_TRACED	-> TASK_FROZEN

The new TASK_FREEZABLE can be set on any state part of TASK_NORMAL
(IOW. TASK_INTERRUPTIBLE and TASK_UNINTERRUPTIBLE) -- any such state
is already required to deal with spurious wakeups and the freezer
causes one such when thawing the task (since the original state is
lost).

The special __TASK_{STOPPED,TRACED} states *can* be restored since
their canonical state is in ->jobctl.

With this, frozen tasks need an explicit TASK_FROZEN wakeup and are
free of undue (early / spurious) wakeups.

07a22b6194 Revert "printk: add functions to prefer direct printing"
This reverts commit 2bb2b7b57f.

The testing of 5.19 release candidates revealed missing synchronization
between early and regular console functionality.

It would be possible to start the console kthreads later as a workaround.
But it is clear that console lock serialized console drivers between
each other. It opens a big area of possible problems that were not
considered by people involved in the development and review.

printk() is crucial for debugging kernel issues and console output is
very important part of it. The number of consoles is huge and a proper
review would take some time. As a result it need to be reverted for 5.19.

2bb2b7b57f printk: add functions to prefer direct printing
Once kthread printing is available, console printing will no longer
occur in the context of the printk caller. However, there are some
special contexts where it is desirable for the printk caller to
directly print out kernel messages. Using pr_flush() to wait for
threaded printers is only possible if the caller is in a sleepable
context and the kthreads are active. That is not always the case.

Introduce printk_prefer_direct_enter() and printk_prefer_direct_exit()
functions to explicitly (and globally) activate/deactivate preferred
direct console printing. The term "direct console printing" refers to
printing to all enabled consoles from the context of the printk
caller. The term "prefer" is used because this type of printing is
only best effort. If the console is currently locked or other
printers are already actively printing, the printk caller will need
to rely on the other contexts to handle the printing.

This preferred direct printing is how all printing has been handled
until now (unless it was explicitly deferred).

When kthread printing is introduced, there may be some unanticipated
problems due to kthreads being unable to flush important messages.
In order to minimize such risks, preferred direct printing is
activated for the primary important messages when the system
experiences general types of major errors. These are:

 - emergency reboot/shutdown
 - cpu and rcu stalls
 - hard and soft lockups
 - hung tasks
 - warn
 - sysrq

Note that since kthread printing does not yet exist, no behavior
changes result from this commit. This is only implementing the
counter and marking the various places where preferred direct
printing is active.

bbe7a10ed8 hung_task: move hung_task sysctl interface to hung_task.c
The kernel/sysctl.c is a kitchen sink where everyone leaves their dirty
dishes, this makes it very difficult to maintain.

To help with this maintenance let's start by moving sysctls to places
where they actually belong.  The proc sysctl maintainers do not want to
know what sysctl knobs you wish to add for your own piece of code, we
just care about the core logic.

So move hung_task sysctl interface to hung_task.c and use
register_sysctl() to register the sysctl interface.

f39650de68 kernel.h: split out panic and oops helpers
kernel.h is being used as a dump for all kinds of stuff for a long time.
Here is the attempt to start cleaning it up by splitting out panic and
oops helpers.

There are several purposes of doing this:
- dropping dependency in bug.h
- dropping a loop by moving out panic_notifier.h
- unload kernel.h from something which has its own domain

At the same time convert users tree-wide to use new headers, although for
the time being include new header back to kernel.h to avoid twisted
indirected includes for existing users.

3b70ae4f5c kernel/hung_task.c: make type annotations consistent
Commit 32927393dc ("sysctl: pass kernel pointers to ->proc_handler")
removed various __user annotations from function signatures as part of
its refactoring.

It also removed the __user annotation for proc_dohung_task_timeout_secs()
at its declaration in sched/sysctl.h, but not at its definition in
kernel/hung_task.c.

Hence, sparse complains:

  kernel/hung_task.c:271:5: error: symbol 'proc_dohung_task_timeout_secs' redeclared with different type (incompatible argument 3 (different address spaces))

Adjust the annotation at the definition fitting to that refactoring to make
sparse happy again, which also resolves this warning from sparse:

  kernel/hung_task.c:277:52: warning: incorrect type in argument 3 (different address spaces)
  kernel/hung_task.c:277:52:    expected void *
  kernel/hung_task.c:277:52:    got void [noderef] __user *buffer

No functional change. No change in object code.

0ec9dc9bcb kernel/hung_task.c: introduce sysctl to print all traces when a hung task is detected
Commit 401c636a0e ("kernel/hung_task.c: show all hung tasks before
panic") introduced a change in that we started to show all CPUs
backtraces when a hung task is detected _and_ the sysctl/kernel
parameter "hung_task_panic" is set.  The idea is good, because usually
when observing deadlocks (that may lead to hung tasks), the culprit is
another task holding a lock and not necessarily the task detected as
hung.

The problem with this approach is that dumping backtraces is a slightly
expensive task, specially printing that on console (and specially in
many CPU machines, as servers commonly found nowadays).  So, users that
plan to collect a kdump to investigate the hung tasks and narrow down
the deadlock definitely don't need the CPUs backtrace on dmesg/console,
which will delay the panic and pollute the log (crash tool would easily
grab all CPUs traces with 'bt -a' command).

Also, there's the reciprocal scenario: some users may be interested in
seeing the CPUs backtraces but not have the system panic when a hung
task is detected.  The current approach hence is almost as embedding a
policy in the kernel, by forcing the CPUs backtraces' dump (only) on
hung_task_panic.

This patch decouples the panic event on hung task from the CPUs
backtraces dump, by creating (and documenting) a new sysctl called
"hung_task_all_cpu_backtrace", analog to the approach taken on soft/hard
lockups, that have both a panic and an "all_cpu_backtrace" sysctl to
allow individual control.  The new mechanism for dumping the CPUs
backtraces on hung task detection respects "hung_task_warnings" by not
dumping the traces in case there's no warnings left.

b467f3ef3c kernel/hung_task convert hung_task_panic boot parameter to sysctl
We can now handle sysctl parameters on kernel command line and have
infrastructure to convert legacy command line options that duplicate
sysctl to become a sysctl alias.

This patch converts the hung_task_panic parameter.  Note that the sysctl
handler is more strict and allows only 0 and 1, while the legacy
parameter allowed any non-zero value.  But there is little reason anyone
would not be using 1.

b014bebab0 kernel/hung_task.c: Use continuously blocked time when reporting.
Since commit a2e5144538 ("kernel/hung_task.c: allow to set checking
interval separately from timeout") added hung_task_check_interval_secs,
setting a value different from hung_task_timeout_secs

  echo 0 > /proc/sys/kernel/hung_task_panic
  echo 120 > /proc/sys/kernel/hung_task_timeout_secs
  echo 5 > /proc/sys/kernel/hung_task_check_interval_secs

causes confusing output as if the task was blocked for
hung_task_timeout_secs seconds from the previous report.

  [  399.395930] INFO: task kswapd0:75 blocked for more than 120 seconds.
  [  405.027637] INFO: task kswapd0:75 blocked for more than 120 seconds.

Although we could update t->last_switch_time after sched_show_task(t) if

might not be very bad for monitoring after a problematic situation has
started.  Thus, let's use continuously blocked time instead of updating
previously reported time.

304ae42739 kernel/hung_task.c: break RCU locks based on jiffies
check_hung_uninterruptible_tasks() is currently calling rcu_lock_break()
for every 1024 threads.  But check_hung_task() is very slow if printk()
was called, and is very fast otherwise.

If many threads within some 1024 threads called printk(), the RCU grace
period might be extended enough to trigger RCU stall warnings.
Therefore, calling rcu_lock_break() for every some fixed jiffies will be
safer.

168e06f793 kernel/hung_task.c: force console verbose before panic
Based on commit 401c636a0e ("kernel/hung_task.c: show all hung tasks
before panic"), we could get the call stack of hung task.

However, if the console loglevel is not high, we still can not see the
useful panic information in practice, and in most cases users don't set
console loglevel to high level.

This patch is to force console verbose before system panic, so that the
real useful information can be seen in the console, instead of being
like the following, which doesn't have hung task information.

a2e5144538 kernel/hung_task.c: allow to set checking interval separately from timeout
Currently task hung checking interval is equal to timeout, as the result
hung is detected anywhere between timeout and 2*timeout.  This is fine for
most interactive environments, but this hurts automated testing setups
(syzbot).  In an automated setup we need to strictly order CPU lockup <
RCU stall < workqueue lockup < task hung < silent loss, so that RCU stall
is not detected as task hung and task hung is not detected as silent
machine loss.  The large variance in task hung detection timeout requires
setting silent machine loss timeout to a very large value (e.g.  if task
hung is 3 mins, then silent loss need to be set to ~7 mins).  The
additional 3 minutes significantly reduce testing efficiency because
usually we crash kernel within a minute, and this can add hours to bug
localization process as it needs to do dozens of tests.

Allow setting checking interval separately from timeout.  This allows to
set timeout to, say, 3 minutes, but checking interval to 10 secs.

The interval is controlled via a new hung_task_check_interval_secs sysctl,
similar to the existing hung_task_timeout_secs sysctl.  The default value
of 0 results in the current behavior: checking interval is equal to
timeout.

When reporting an AB-BA deadlock like shown above, it would be nice if

Showing hung tasks up to /proc/sys/kernel/hung_task_warnings could delay
calling panic() but normally there should not be so many hung tasks.

780cbcf287 kernel/hung_task.c: defer showing held locks
When I was running my testcase which may block hundreds of threads on fs
locks, I got lockup due to output from debug_show_all_locks() added by
commit b2d4c2edb2 ("locking/hung_task: Show all locks").

For example, if 1000 threads were blocked in TASK_UNINTERRUPTIBLE state
and 500 out of 1000 threads hold some lock, debug_show_all_locks() from
for_each_process_thread() loop will report locks held by 500 threads for
1000 times.  This is a too much noise.

In order to make sure rcu_lock_break() is called frequently, we should
avoid calling debug_show_all_locks() from for_each_process_thread() loop
because debug_show_all_locks() effectively calls for_each_process_thread()
loop.  Let's defer calling debug_show_all_locks() till before panic() or
leaving for_each_process_thread() loop.

Previously hung_task_panic would not be respected if enabled after
hung_task_warnings had already been decremented to 0.

Permit the kernel to panic if hung_task_panic is enabled after
hung_task_warnings has already been decremented to 0 and another task
hangs for hung_task_timeout_secs seconds.

Check if hung_task_panic is enabled so we don't return prematurely, and
check if hung_task_warnings is non-zero so we don't print the warning
unnecessarily.

b4aa14a63c kernel/hung_task.c: use timeout diff when timeout is updated
When new timeout is written to /proc/sys/kernel/hung_task_timeout_secs,
khungtaskd is interrupted and again sleeps for full timeout duration.

This means that hang task will not be checked if new timeout is written
periodically within old timeout duration and/or checking of hang task
will be delayed for up to previous timeout duration.  Fix this by
remembering last time khungtaskd checked hang task.

This change will allow other watchdog tasks (if any) to share khungtaskd
by sleeping for minimal timeout diff of all watchdog tasks.  Doing more
watchdog tasks from khungtaskd will reduce the possibility of printk()
collisions by multiple watchdog threads.

c96d6660dc kernel: audit/fix non-modular users of module_init in core code
Code that is obj-y (always built-in) or dependent on a bool Kconfig
(built-in or absent) can never be modular.  So using module_init as an
alias for __initcall can be somewhat misleading.

Fix these up now, so that we can relocate module_init from init.h into
module.h in the future.  If we don't do this, we'd have to add module.h
to obviously non-modular code, and that would be a worse thing.

The audit targets the following module_init users for change:
 kernel/user.c                  obj-y
 kernel/kexec.c                 bool KEXEC (one instance per arch)
 kernel/profile.c               bool PROFILING
 kernel/hung_task.c             bool DETECT_HUNG_TASK
 kernel/sched/stats.c           bool SCHEDSTATS
 kernel/user_namespace.c        bool USER_NS

Note that direct use of __initcall is discouraged, vs.  one of the
priority categorized subgroups.  As __initcall gets mapped onto
device_initcall, our use of subsys_initcall (which makes sense for these
files) will thus change this registration from level 6-device to level
4-subsys (i.e.  slightly earlier).  However no observable impact of that
difference has been observed during testing.

Also, two instances of missing ";" at EOL are fixed in kexec.

270750dbc1 hung_task: Display every hung task warning
When khungtaskd detects hung tasks, it prints out
backtraces from a number of those tasks.

Limiting the number of backtraces being printed
out can result in the user not seeing the information
necessary to debug the issue. The hung_task_warnings
sysctl controls this feature.

This patch makes it possible for hung_task_warnings
to accept a special value to print an unlimited
number of backtraces when khungtaskd detects hung
tasks.

The special value is -1. To use this value it is
necessary to change types from ulong to int.

6a716c90a5 hung_task debugging: Add tracepoint to report the hang
Currently check_hung_task() prints a warning if it detects the
problem, but it is not convenient to watch the system logs if
user-space wants to be notified about the hang.

Add the new trace_sched_process_hang() into check_hung_task(),
this way a user-space monitor can easily wait for the hang and
potentially resolve a problem.

cd64647f04 hung_task: Change sysctl_hung_task_check_count to 'int'
As 'sysctl_hung_task_check_count' is 'unsigned long' when this
value is assigned to max_count in check_hung_uninterruptible_tasks(),
it's truncated to 'int' type.

This causes a minor artifact: if we write 2^32 to sysctl.hung_task_check_count,
hung task detection will be effectively disabled.

With this fix, it will still truncate the user input to 32 bits, but
reading sysctl.hung_task_check_count reflects the actual truncated value.

printk(KERN_ERR) from check_hung_task() likely means we have a bug,
but unlike BUG_ON()/WARN_ON ()it doesn't show the kernel version,
this complicates the bug-reports investigation.

Add the additional pr_err() to print tainted/release/version
like dump_stack_print_info() does, the output becomes:

        INFO: task perl:504 blocked for more than 2 seconds.

625056b65e hung task debugging: Inject NMI when hung and going to panic
Send an NMI to all CPUs when a hung task is detected and the hung
task code is configured to panic. This gives us a fairly uptodate
snapshot of all CPUs in the system.

This lets us get stack trace of all CPUs which makes life easier
trying to debug a deadlock, and the NMI doesn't change anything
since the next step is a kernel panic.

6027ce497d hung_task: fix the broken rcu_lock_break() logic
check_hung_uninterruptible_tasks()->rcu_lock_break() introduced by
"softlockup: check all tasks in hung_task" commit ce9dbe24 looks
absolutely wrong.

	- rcu_lock_break() does put_task_struct(). If the task has exited
	  it is not safe to even read its ->state, nothing protects this
	  task_struct.

	- The TASK_DEAD checks are wrong too. Contrary to the comment, we
	  can't use it to check if the task was unhashed. It can be unhashed
	  without TASK_DEAD, or it can be valid with TASK_DEAD.

	  For example, an autoreaping task can do release_task(current)
	  long before it sets TASK_DEAD in do_exit().

	  Or, a zombie task can have ->state == TASK_DEAD but release_task()
	  was not called, and in this case we must not break the loop.

Change this code to check pid_alive() instead, and do this before we drop
the reference to the task_struct.

Note: while_each_thread() under rcu_read_lock() is not really safe, it can
livelock.  This will be fixed later, but fortunately in this case the
"max_count" logic saves us anyway.

e11feaa119 watchdog, hung_task_timeout: Add Kconfig configurable default
This patch allows the default value for sysctl_hung_task_timeout_secs
to be set at build time. The feature carries virtually no overhead,
so it makes sense to keep it enabled. On heavily loaded systems, though,
it can end up triggering stack traces when there is no bug other than
the system being underprovisioned. We use this patch to keep the hung task
facility available but disabled at boot-time.

The default of 120 seconds is preserved. As a note, commit e162b39a may
have accidentally reverted commit fb822db4, which raised the default from
120 seconds to 480 seconds.
