As of 4f04cbaf128 ("epoll: use refcount to reduce ep_mutex contention"), this lock is now specific to nesting cases - inserting an epoll fd onto another epoll fd. Rename the lock to be less generic.

$lx_dentry_name() generates a full VFS path from a given dentry pointer, and $lx_i_dentry() returns the dentry pointer associated with the given inode pointer, if there is one.

Patch series "GDB VFS utils". I've created a couple GDB convenience functions that I found useful when debugging some VFS issues and figure others might find them useful. For instance, they are useful in setting conditional breakpoints on VFS functions where you only care if the dentry path is a certain value. I took the opportunity to create a new "vfs" python module to give VFS related utilities a home. This patch (of 2): This will allow for more VFS specific GDB helpers to be collected in one place. Move utils.dentry_name into the vfs modules. Also a local variable in proc.py was changed from vfs to mnt to prevent a naming collision with the new vfs module.

typeof is (still) a GNU extension, which means that it cannot be used when building ISO C (e.g. -std=c99). It should therefore be avoided in uapi headers in favour of the ISO-friendly __typeof__. Unfortunately this issue could not be detected by CONFIG_UAPI_HEADER_TEST=y as the __ALIGN_KERNEL() macro is not expanded in any uapi header. This matters from a userspace perspective, not a kernel one. uapi headers and their contents are expected to be usable in a variety of situations, and in particular when building ISO C applications (with -std=c99 or similar). This particular problem can be reproduced by trying to use the __ALIGN_KERNEL macro directly in application code, say: #include <linux/const.h> int align(int x, int a) { return __KERNEL_ALIGN(x, a); } and trying to build that with -std=c99.

Delay accounting does not track the delay of IRQ/SOFTIRQ. While IRQ/SOFTIRQ could have obvious impact on some workloads productivity, such as when workloads are running on system which is busy handling network IRQ/SOFTIRQ. Get the delay of IRQ/SOFTIRQ could help users to reduce such delay. Such as setting interrupt affinity or task affinity, using kernel thread for NAPI etc. This is inspired by "sched/psi: Add PSI_IRQ to track IRQ/SOFTIRQ pressure"[1].

Linux makes use of the Radix Tree data structure to store pointers indexed by integer values. This structure is utilised across many structures in the kernel including the IRQ descriptor tables, and several filesystems. This module provides a method to lookup values from a structure given its head node. Usage: The function lx_radix_tree_lookup, must be given a symbol of type struct radix_tree_root, and an index into that tree. The object returned is a generic integer value, and must be cast correctly to the type based on the storage in the data structure. For example, to print the irq descriptor in the sparse irq_desc_tree at index 18, try the following: (gdb) print (struct irq_desc)$lx_radix_tree_lookup(irq_desc_tree, 18) This script previously existed under commit e127a73d ("scripts/gdb: add a Radix Tree Parser") and was later reverted with b447e025i (Revert "scripts/gdb: add a Radix Tree Parser"). This version expects the XArray based radix tree implementation and has been verified using QEMU/x86 on Linux 6.3-rc5.

This has a slight benefit for x86 and has no effect on other targets. The benefit to x86 is it change the codegen for setting a node to block from `mov %r0, %r1; or $RB_BLACK, %r1` to `lea RB_BLACK(%r0), %r1` which saves an instructions. In all other cases it just replace ALU with ALU (or -> and) which perform the same on all machines I am aware of. Total instructions in rbtree.o: Before - 802 After - 782 so it saves about 20 `mov` instructions.

"Link:" and "Closes:" tags have to be used with public URLs. It is difficult to make sure the link is public but at least we can verify the tag is followed by 'http(s)://'. With that, we avoid such a tag that is not allowed [1]: Closes: <number> Now that we check the "link" tags are followed by a URL, we can relax the check linked to "Reported-by being followed by a link tag" to only verify if a "link" tag is present after the "Reported-by" one.

The following commit will allow the use of a similar "link" tag. Because there is a possibility that other similar tags will be added in the future and to reduce the number of places where the code will be modified to allow this new tag, a list with all these "link" tags is now used. Two variables are created from it: one to search for such tags and one to print all tags in a warning message.

When checking if "Reported-by" tag is followed by "Link:", there is no need to print the next line if there is no next line. While at it, also mention in this case that the "Link:" tag should be followed by a URL, similar to the next warning. By doing that, the code is now similar to what is done above when checking if the Co-developed-by tag is properly used.

Since v6.3, checkpatch.pl now complains about the use of "Closes:" tags followed by a link [1]. It also complains if a "Reported-by:" tag is followed by a "Closes:" one [2]. As detailed in the first patch, this "Closes:" tag is used for a bit of time, mainly by DRM and MPTCP subsystems. It is used by some bug trackers to automate the closure of issues when a patch is accepted. It is even planned to use this tag with bugzilla.kernel.org [3]. The first patch updates the documentation to explain what is this "Closes:" tag and how/when to use it. The second patch modifies checkpatch.pl to stop complaining about it. The DRM maintainers and their mailing list have been added in Cc as they are probably interested by these two patches as well. [1] https://lore.kernel.org/all/3b036087d80b8c0e07a46a1dbaaf4ad0d018f8d5.1674217480.git.linux@leemhuis.info/ [2] https://lore.kernel.org/all/bb5dfd55ea2026303ab2296f4a6df3da7dd64006.1674217480.git.linux@leemhuis.info/ [3] https://lore.kernel.org/linux-doc/20230315181205.f3av7h6owqzzw64p@meerkat.local/ This patch (of 5): Making sure a bug tracker is up to date is not an easy task. For example, a first version of a patch fixing a tracked issue can be sent a long time after having created the issue. But also, it can take some time to have this patch accepted upstream in its final form. When it is done, someone -- probably not the person who accepted the patch -- has to remember about closing the corresponding issue. This task of closing and tracking the patch can be done automatically by bug trackers like GitLab [1], GitHub [2] and hopefully soon [3] bugzilla.kernel.org when the appropriated tag is used. The two first ones accept multiple tags but it is probably better to pick one. According to commit 76f381bb ("checkpatch: warn when unknown tags are used for links"), the "Closes" tag seems to have been used in the past by a few people and it is supported by popular bug trackers. Here is how it has been used in the past: $ git log --no-merges --format=email -P --grep='^Closes: http' | \ grep '^Closes: http' | cut -d/ -f3-5 | sort | uniq -c | sort -rn 391 gitlab.freedesktop.org/drm/intel 79 github.com/multipath-tcp/mptcp_net-next 8 gitlab.freedesktop.org/drm/msm 3 gitlab.freedesktop.org/drm/amd 2 gitlab.freedesktop.org/mesa/mesa 1 patchwork.freedesktop.org/series/73320 1 gitlab.freedesktop.org/lima/linux 1 gitlab.freedesktop.org/drm/nouveau 1 github.com/ClangBuiltLinux/linux 1 bugzilla.netfilter.org/show_bug.cgi?id=1579 1 bugzilla.netfilter.org/show_bug.cgi?id=1543 1 bugzilla.netfilter.org/show_bug.cgi?id=1436 1 bugzilla.netfilter.org/show_bug.cgi?id=1427 1 bugs.debian.org/625804 Likely here, the "Closes" tag was only properly used with GitLab and GitHub. We can also see that it has been used quite a few times (and still used recently) and this is then not a "random tag that makes no sense" like it was the case with "BugLink" recently [4]. It has also been misused but that was a long time ago, when it was common to use many different random tags. checkpatch.pl script should then stop complaining about this "Closes" tag. As suggested by Thorsten [5], if this tag is accepted, it should first be described in the documentation. This is what is done here in this patch. To avoid confusion, the "Closes" should be used with any public bug report. No need to check if the underlying bug tracker supports automations. Having this tag with any kind of public bug reports allows bots like regzbot to clearly identify patches fixing a specific bug and avoid false-positives, e.g. patches mentioning it is related to an issue but not fixing it. As suggested by Thorsten [6] again, if we follow the same logic, the "Closes" tag should then be used after a "Reported-by" one. Note that thanks to this "Closes" tag, the mentioned bug trackers can also locate where a patch has been applied in different branches and repositories. If only the "Link" tag is used, the tracking can also be done but the ticket will not be closed and a manual operation will be needed. Also, these bug trackers have some safeguards: the closure is only done if a commit having the "Closes:" tag is applied in a specific branch. It will then not be closed if a random commit having the same tag is published elsewhere. Also in case of closure, a notification is sent to the owners.

Remove the x86-specific version and use the generic arch_kexec_kernel_image_load(). No functional change intended.

Remove pci_clear_master to simplify the code, the bus-mastering is also cleared in do_pci_disable_device, like this: ./drivers/pci/pci.c:2197 static void do_pci_disable_device(struct pci_dev *dev) { u16 pci_command; pci_read_config_word(dev, PCI_COMMAND, &pci_command); if (pci_command & PCI_COMMAND_MASTER) { pci_command &= ~PCI_COMMAND_MASTER; pci_write_config_word(dev, PCI_COMMAND, pci_command); } pcibios_disable_device(dev); }. And dev->is_busmaster is set to 0 in pci_disable_device.

We are observing huge contention on the epmutex during an http connection/rate test: 83.17% 0.25% nginx [kernel.kallsyms] [k] entry_SYSCALL_64_after_hwframe [...] |--66.96%--__fput |--60.04%--eventpoll_release_file |--58.41%--__mutex_lock.isra.6 |--56.56%--osq_lock The application is multi-threaded, creates a new epoll entry for each incoming connection, and does not delete it before the connection shutdown - that is, before the connection's fd close(). Many different threads compete frequently for the epmutex lock, affecting the overall performance. To reduce the contention this patch introduces explicit reference counting for the eventpoll struct. Each registered event acquires a reference, and references are released at ep_remove() time. The eventpoll struct is released by whoever - among EP file close() and and the monitored file close() drops its last reference. Additionally, this introduces a new 'dying' flag to prevent races between the EP file close() and the monitored file close(). ep_eventpoll_release() marks, under f_lock spinlock, each epitem as dying before removing it, while EP file close() does not touch dying epitems. The above is needed as both close operations could run concurrently and drop the EP reference acquired via the epitem entry. Without the above flag, the monitored file close() could reach the EP struct via the epitem list while the epitem is still listed and then try to put it after its disposal. An alternative could be avoiding touching the references acquired via the epitems at EP file close() time, but that could leave the EP struct alive for potentially unlimited time after EP file close(), with nasty side effects. With all the above in place, we can drop the epmutex usage at disposal time. Overall this produces a significant performance improvement in the mentioned connection/rate scenario: the mutex operations disappear from the topmost offenders in the perf report, and the measured connections/rate grows by ~60%. To make the change more readable this additionally renames ep_free() to ep_clear_and_put(), and moves the actual memory cleanup in a separate ep_free() helper.

Since commit 4104a206 ("checkpatch: ignore generated CamelCase defines and enum values") enum values like ETHTOOL_LINK_MODE_Asym_Pause_BIT are ignored. But there are other enums like ETHTOOL_LINK_MODE_1000baseT_Full_BIT, which are not ignored because of the not matching '1000baseT' substring. Add regex to match all ETHTOOL_LINK_MODE enums.

A running x86 UML kernel reports with architecture "i386:x86-64" as it is a sub-architecture. However, a difference with bare-metal x86 kernels is in how it manages tasks and the current task struct. To identify that the inferior is a UML kernel and not bare-metal, check for the existence of the UML specific symbol "cpu_tasks" which contains the current task struct.

Patch series "scripts/gdb: Support getting current task struct in UML", v3. A running x86 UML kernel reports with architecture "i386:x86-64" as it is a sub-architecture. However, a difference with bare-metal x86 kernels is in how it manages tasks and the current task struct. To identify that the inferior is a UML kernel and not bare-metal, check for the existence of the UML specific symbol "cpu_tasks" which contains the current task struct. This patch (of 3): There is an extra space in a couple blocks in get_current_task. Though python does not care, let's make the spacing consistent. Also, format better an if expression, removing unneeded parenthesis.
