[for-next][PATCH 04/16] rtla/timerlat_bpf: Stop tracing on user latency

by Steven Rostedt

From: Tomas Glozar <tglozar(a)redhat.com> rtla-timerlat allows a *thread* latency threshold to be set via the -T/--thread option. However, the timerlat tracer calls this *total* latency (stop_tracing_total_us), and stops tracing also when the return-to-user latency is over the threshold. Change the behavior of the timerlat BPF program to reflect what the timerlat tracer is doing, to avoid discrepancy between stopping collecting data in the BPF program and stopping tracing in the timerlat tracer.

Always clear the bit when MSR_IA32_DEBUGCTLMSR is updated. The history is complicated, it was correctly cleared for L1 before commit 1d5a1b5860ed ("KVM: x86: nSVM: correctly virtualize LBR msrs when L2 is running"). At that point svm_set_msr() started to rely on svm_update_lbrv() to clear the bit, but when nested virtualization is enabled the latter does not always clear it even if MSR_IA32_DEBUGCTLMSR changed. Go back to clearing it directly in svm_set_msr().

Scan all pages in a to-be-split folio to determine which after-split folios need the flag. An alternatives is to change PG_has_hwpoisoned to PG_maybe_hwpoisoned to avoid the scan and set it on all after-split folios, but resulting false positive has undesirable negative impact. To remove false positive, caller of folio_test_has_hwpoisoned() and folio_contain_hwpoisoned_page() needs to do the scan. That might be causing a hassle for current and future callers and more costly than doing the scan in the split code. More details are discussed in [1]. This issue can be exposed via: 1. splitting a has_hwpoisoned folio to >0 order from debugfs interface; 2. truncating part of a has_hwpoisoned folio in truncate_inode_partial_folio(). And later accesses to a hwpoisoned page could be possible due to the missing has_hwpoisoned folio flag. This will lead to MCE errors.

Commit e220917fa507 ("mm: split a folio in minimum folio order chunks") bumps the target order of split_huge_page*() to the minimum allowed order when splitting a LBS folio. This causes confusion for some split_huge_page*() callers like memory failure handling code, since they expect after-split folios all have order-0 when split succeeds but in reality get min_order_for_split() order folios and give warnings. Fix it by failing a split if the folio cannot be split to the target order. Rename try_folio_split() to try_folio_split_to_order() to reflect the added new_order parameter. Remove its unused list parameter. [The test poisons LBS folios, which cannot be split to order-0 folios, and also tries to poison all memory. The non split LBS folios take more memory than the test anticipated, leading to OOM. The patch fixed the kernel warning and the test needs some change to avoid OOM.] Link: https://lkml.kernel.org/r/20251017013630.139907-1-ziy@nvidia.com Fixes: e220917fa507 ("mm: split a folio in minimum folio order chunks") Signed-off-by: Zi Yan <ziy(a)nvidia.com> Reported-by: syzbot+e6367ea2fdab6ed46056(a)syzkaller.appspotmail.com Closes: https://lore.kernel.org/all/68d2c943.a70a0220.1b52b.02b3.GAE@google.com/ Reviewed-by: Luis Chamberlain <mcgrof(a)kernel.org> Reviewed-by: Pankaj Raghav <p.raghav(a)samsung.com> Reviewed-by: Wei Yang <richard.weiyang(a)gmail.com> Acked-by: David Hildenbrand <david(a)redhat.com> Reviewed-by: Lorenzo Stoakes <lorenzo.stoakes(a)oracle.com> Reviewed-by: Miaohe Lin <linmiaohe(a)huawei.com> Cc: Baolin Wang <baolin.wang(a)linux.alibaba.com> Cc: Barry Song <baohua(a)kernel.org> Cc: David Hildenbrand <david(a)redhat.com> Cc: Dev Jain <dev.jain(a)arm.com> Cc: Jane Chu <jane.chu(a)oracle.com> Cc: Lance Yang <lance.yang(a)linux.dev> Cc: Liam Howlett <liam.howlett(a)oracle.com> Cc: Mariano Pache <npache(a)redhat.com> Cc: Matthew Wilcox (Oracle) <willy(a)infradead.org> Cc: Naoya Horiguchi <nao.horiguchi(a)gmail.com> Cc: Ryan Roberts <ryan.roberts(a)arm.com> Cc: Christian Brauner <brauner(a)kernel.org> Cc: <stable(a)vger.kernel.org> Signed-off-by: Andrew Morton <akpm(a)linux-foundation.org> diff --git a/include/linux/huge_mm.h b/include/linux/huge_mm.h index f327d62fc985..71ac78b9f834 100644 --- a/include/linux/huge_mm.h +++ b/include/linux/huge_mm.h @@ -376,45 +376,30 @@ bool non_uniform_split_supported(struct folio *folio, unsigned int new_order, int folio_split(struct folio *folio, unsigned int new_order, struct page *page, struct list_head *list); /* - * try_folio_split - try to split a @folio at @page using non uniform split. + * try_folio_split_to_order - try to split a @folio at @page to @new_order using + * non uniform split. * @folio: folio to be split - * @page: split to order-0 at the given page - * @list: store the after-split folios + * @page: split to @new_order at the given page + * @new_order: the target split order * - * Try to split a @folio at @page using non uniform split to order-0, if - * non uniform split is not supported, fall back to uniform split. + * Try to split a @folio at @page using non uniform split to @new_order, if + * non uniform split is not supported, fall back to uniform split.

If two tasks cause a fault in the same page concurrently, both could end up allocating a folio and removing the page from the direct map, but only one would succeed in adding the folio to the file mapping. The task that failed undoes the effects of its attempt by (a) freeing the folio again and (b) putting the page back into the direct map. However, by doing these two operations in this order, the page becomes available to the allocator again before it is placed back in the direct mapping. If another task attempts to allocate the page between (a) and (b), and the kernel tries to access it via the direct map, it would result in a supervisor not-present page fault. Fix the ordering to restore the direct map before the folio is freed.
