This patch enables readers to optimistically spin on a rwsem when it is owned by a writer instead of going to sleep directly. The rwsem_can_spin_on_owner() function is extracted out of rwsem_optimistic_spin() and is called directly by rwsem_down_read_slowpath() and rwsem_down_write_slowpath(). With a locking microbenchmark running on 5.1 based kernel, the total locking rates (in kops/s) on a 8-socket IvyBrige-EX system with equal numbers of readers and writers before and after the patch were as follows: # of Threads Pre-patch Post-patch ------------ --------- ---------- 4 1,674 1,684 8 1,062 1,074 16 924 900 32 300 458 64 195 208 128 164 168 240 149 143 The performance change wasn't significant in this case, but this change is required by a follow-on patch.

Bit 1 of sem->owner (RWSEM_ANONYMOUSLY_OWNED) is used to designate an anonymous owner - readers or an anonymous writer. The setting of this anonymous bit is used as an indicator that optimistic spinning cannot be done on this rwsem. With the upcoming reader optimistic spinning patches, a reader-owned rwsem can be spinned on for a limit period of time. We still need this bit to indicate a rwsem is nonspinnable, but not setting this bit loses its meaning that the owner is known. So rename the bit to RWSEM_NONSPINNABLE to clarify its meaning. This patch also fixes a DEBUG_RWSEMS_WARN_ON() bug in __up_write().

When the front of the wait queue is a reader, other readers immediately following the first reader will also be woken up at the same time. However, if there is a writer in between. Those readers behind the writer will not be woken up. Because of optimistic spinning, the lock acquisition order is not FIFO anyway. The lock handoff mechanism will ensure that lock starvation will not happen. Assuming that the lock hold times of the other readers still in the queue will be about the same as the readers that are being woken up, there is really not much additional cost other than the additional latency due to the wakeup of additional tasks by the waker. Therefore all the readers up to a maximum of 256 in the queue are woken up when the first waiter is a reader to improve reader throughput. This is somewhat similar in concept to a phase-fair R/W lock. With a locking microbenchmark running on 5.1 based kernel, the total locking rates (in kops/s) on a 8-socket IvyBridge-EX system with equal numbers of readers and writers before and after this patch were as follows: # of Threads Pre-Patch Post-patch ------------ --------- ---------- 4 1,641 1,674 8 731 1,062 16 564 924 32 78 300 64 38 195 240 50 149 There is no performance gain at low contention level.

An RT task can do optimistic spinning only if the lock holder is actually running. If the state of the lock holder isn't known, there is a possibility that high priority of the RT task may block forward progress of the lock holder if it happens to reside on the same CPU. This will lead to deadlock. So we have to make sure that an RT task will not spin on a reader-owned rwsem. When the owner is temporarily set to NULL, there are two cases where we may want to continue spinning: 1) The lock owner is in the process of releasing the lock, sem->owner is cleared but the lock has not been released yet. 2) The lock was free and owner cleared, but another task just comes in and acquire the lock before we try to get it. The new owner may be a spinnable writer. So an RT task is now made to retry one more time to see if it can acquire the lock or continue spinning on the new owning writer. When testing on a 8-socket IvyBridge-EX system, the one additional retry seems to improve locking performance of RT write locking threads under heavy contentions. The table below shows the locking rates (in kops/s) with various write locking threads before and after the patch.

With the use of wake_q, we can do task wakeups without holding the wait_lock. There is one exception in the rwsem code, though. It is when the writer in the slowpath detects that there are waiters ahead but the rwsem is not held by a writer. This can lead to a long wait_lock hold time especially when a large number of readers are to be woken up. Remediate this situation by releasing the wait_lock before waking up tasks and re-acquiring it afterward. The rwsem_try_write_lock() function is also modified to read the rwsem count directly to avoid stale count value.

Because of writer lock stealing, it is possible that a constant stream of incoming writers will cause a waiting writer or reader to wait indefinitely leading to lock starvation. This patch implements a lock handoff mechanism to disable lock stealing and force lock handoff to the first waiter or waiters (for readers) in the queue after at least a 4ms waiting period unless it is a RT writer task which doesn't need to wait. The waiting period is used to avoid discouraging lock stealing too much to affect performance. The setting and clearing of the handoff bit is serialized by the wait_lock. So racing is not possible. A rwsem microbenchmark was run for 5 seconds on a 2-socket 40-core 80-thread Skylake system with a v5.1 based kernel and 240 write_lock threads with 5us sleep critical section. Before the patch, the min/mean/max numbers of locking operations for the locking threads were 1/7,792/173,696. After the patch, the figures became 5,842/6,542/7,458. It can be seen that the rwsem became much more fair, though there was a drop of about 16% in the mean locking operations done which was a tradeoff of having better fairness. Making the waiter set the handoff bit right after the first wakeup can impact performance especially with a mixed reader/writer workload. With the same microbenchmark with short critical section and equal number of reader and writer threads (40/40), the reader/writer locking operation counts with the current patch were: 40 readers, Iterations Min/Mean/Max = 1,793/1,794/1,796 40 writers, Iterations Min/Mean/Max = 1,793/34,956/86,081 By making waiter set handoff bit immediately after wakeup: 40 readers, Iterations Min/Mean/Max = 43/44/46 40 writers, Iterations Min/Mean/Max = 43/1,263/3,191 Signed-off-by: Waiman Long <longman@redhat.com> Signed-off-by: Peter Zijlstra (Intel) <peterz@infradead.org> Cc: Borislav Petkov <bp@alien8.de> Cc: Davidlohr Bueso <dave@stgolabs.net> Cc: H.

After merging all the relevant rwsem code into one single file, there are a number of optimizations and cleanups that can be done: 1) Remove all the EXPORT_SYMBOL() calls for functions that are not accessed elsewhere. 2) Remove all the __visible tags as none of the functions will be called from assembly code anymore. 3) Make all the internal functions static. 4) Remove some unneeded blank lines. 5) Remove the intermediate rwsem_down_{read|write}_failed*() functions and rename __rwsem_down_{read|write}_failed_common() to rwsem_down_{read|write}_slowpath(). 6) Remove "__" prefix of __rwsem_mark_wake(). 7) Use atomic_long_try_cmpxchg_acquire() as much as possible. 8) Remove the rwsem_rtrylock and rwsem_wtrylock lock events as they are not that useful. That enables the compiler to do better optimization and reduce code size. The text+data size of rwsem.o on an x86-64 machine with gcc8 was reduced from 10237 bytes to 5030 bytes with this change.

Now we only have one implementation of rwsem. Even though we still use xadd to handle reader locking, we use cmpxchg for writer instead. So the filename rwsem-xadd.c is not strictly correct. Also no one outside of the rwsem code need to know the internal implementation other than function prototypes for two internal functions that are called directly from percpu-rwsem.c. So the rwsem-xadd.c and rwsem.h files are now merged into rwsem.c in the following order: <upper part of rwsem.h> <rwsem-xadd.c> <lower part of rwsem.h> <rwsem.c> The rwsem.h file now contains only 2 function declarations for __up_read() and __down_read(). This is a code relocation patch with no code change at all except making __up_read() and __down_read() non-static functions so they can be used by percpu-rwsem.c.

The current way of using various reader, writer and waiting biases in the rwsem code are confusing and hard to understand. I have to reread the rwsem count guide in the rwsem-xadd.c file from time to time to remind myself how this whole thing works. It also makes the rwsem code harder to be optimized. To make rwsem more sane, a new locking scheme similar to the one in qrwlock is now being used. The atomic long count has the following bit definitions: Bit 0 - writer locked bit Bit 1 - waiters present bit Bits 2-7 - reserved for future extension Bits 8-X - reader count (24/56 bits) The cmpxchg instruction is now used to acquire the write lock. The read lock is still acquired with xadd instruction, so there is no change here. This scheme will allow up to 16M/64P active readers which should be more than enough. We can always use some more reserved bits if necessary. With that change, we can deterministically know if a rwsem has been write-locked. Looking at the count alone, however, one cannot determine for certain if a rwsem is owned by readers or not as the readers that set the reader count bits may be in the process of backing out. So we still need the reader-owned bit in the owner field to be sure. With a locking microbenchmark running on 5.1 based kernel, the total locking rates (in kops/s) of the benchmark on a 8-socket 120-core IvyBridge-EX system before and after the patch were as follows: Before Patch After Patch # of Threads wlock rlock wlock rlock ------------ ----- ----- ----- ----- 1 30,659 31,341 31,055 31,283 2 8,909 16,457 9,884 17,659 4 9,028 15,823 8,933 20,233 8 8,410 14,212 7,230 17,140 16 8,217 25,240 7,479 24,607 The locking rates of the benchmark on a Power8 system were as follows: Before Patch After Patch # of Threads wlock rlock wlock rlock ------------ ----- ----- ----- ----- 1 12,963 13,647 13,275 13,601 2 7,570 11,569 7,902 10,829 4 5,232 5,516 5,466 5,435 8 5,233 3,386 5,467 3,168 The locking rates of the benchmark on a 2-socket ARM64 system were as follows: Before Patch After Patch # of Threads wlock rlock wlock rlock ------------ ----- ----- ----- ----- 1 21,495 21,046 21,524 21,074 2 5,293 10,502 5,333 10,504 4 5,325 11,463 5,358 11,631 8 5,391 11,712 5,470 11,680 The performance are roughly the same before and after the patch.

After the following commit: 59aabfc7 ("locking/rwsem: Reduce spinlock contention in wakeup after up_read()/up_write()") the rwsem_wake() forgoes doing a wakeup if the wait_lock cannot be directly acquired and an optimistic spinning locker is present. This can help performance by avoiding spinning on the wait_lock when it is contended. With the later commit: 133e89ef ("locking/rwsem: Enable lockless waiter wakeup(s)") the performance advantage of the above optimization diminishes as the average wait_lock hold time become much shorter. With a later patch that supports rwsem lock handoff, we can no longer relies on the fact that the presence of an optimistic spinning locker will ensure that the lock will be acquired by a task soon and rwsem_wake() will be called later on to wake up waiters. This can lead to missed wakeup and application hang. So the original 59aabfc7 commit has to be reverted.

The owner field in the rw_semaphore structure is used primarily for optimistic spinning. However, identifying the rwsem owner can also be helpful in debugging as well as tracing locking related issues when analyzing crash dump. The owner field may also store state information that can be important to the operation of the rwsem. So the owner field is now made a permanent member of the rw_semaphore structure irrespective of CONFIG_RWSEM_SPIN_ON_OWNER.

Recent probing at the Linux Kernel Memory Model uncovered a 'surprise'. Strongly ordered architectures where the atomic RmW primitive implies full memory ordering and smp_mb__{before,after}_atomic() are a simple barrier() (such as x86) fail for: *x = 1; atomic_inc(u); smp_mb__after_atomic(); r0 = *y; Because, while the atomic_inc() implies memory order, it (surprisingly) does not provide a compiler barrier. This then allows the compiler to re-order like so: atomic_inc(u); *x = 1; smp_mb__after_atomic(); r0 = *y; Which the CPU is then allowed to re-order (under TSO rules) like: atomic_inc(u); r0 = *y; *x = 1; And this very much was not intended. Therefore strengthen the atomic RmW ops to include a compiler barrier. NOTE: atomic_{or,and,xor} and the bitops already had the compiler barrier.

All callers of lockdep_assert_held_exclusive() use it to verify the correct locking state of either a semaphore (ldisc_sem in tty, mmap_sem for perf events, i_rwsem of inode for dax) or rwlock by apparmor. Thus it makes sense to rename _exclusive to _write since that's the semantics callers care. Additionally there is already lockdep_assert_held_read(), which this new naming is more consistent with.

Currently, the jump label of a static key is transformed via the arch specific function: void arch_jump_label_transform(struct jump_entry *entry, enum jump_label_type type) The new approach (batch mode) uses two arch functions, the first has the same arguments of the arch_jump_label_transform(), and is the function: bool arch_jump_label_transform_queue(struct jump_entry *entry, enum jump_label_type type) Rather than transforming the code, it adds the jump_entry in a queue of entries to be updated. This functions returns true in the case of a successful enqueue of an entry. If it returns false, the caller must to apply the queue and then try to queue again, for instance, because the queue is full. This function expects the caller to sort the entries by the address before enqueueuing then. This is already done by the arch independent code, though. After queuing all jump_entries, the function: void arch_jump_label_transform_apply(void) Applies the changes in the queue.

If the architecture supports the batching of jump label updates, use it! An easy way to see the benefits of this patch is switching the schedstats on and off. For instance: -------------------------- %< ---------------------------- #!/bin/sh while [ true ]; do sysctl -w kernel.sched_schedstats=1 sleep 2 sysctl -w kernel.sched_schedstats=0 sleep 2 done -------------------------- >% ---------------------------- while watching the IPI count: -------------------------- %< ---------------------------- # watch -n1 "cat /proc/interrupts | grep Function" -------------------------- >% ---------------------------- With the current mode, it is possible to see +- 168 IPIs each 2 seconds, while with this patch the number of IPIs goes to 3 each 2 seconds. Regarding the performance impact of this patch set, I made two measurements: The time to update a key (the task that is causing the change) The time to run the int3 handler (the side effect on a thread that hits the code being changed) The schedstats static key was chosen as the key to being switched on and off. The reason being is that it is used in more than 56 places, in a hot path. The change in the schedstats static key will be done with the following command: while [ true ]; do sysctl -w kernel.sched_schedstats=1 usleep 500000 sysctl -w kernel.sched_schedstats=0 usleep 500000 done In this way, they key will be updated twice per second. To force the hit of the int3 handler, the system will also run a kernel compilation with two jobs per CPU. The test machine is a two nodes/24 CPUs box with an Intel Xeon processor @2.27GHz. Regarding the update part, on average, the regular kernel takes 57 ms to update the schedstats key, while the kernel with the batch updates takes just 1.4 ms on average. Although it seems to be too good to be true, it makes sense: the schedstats key is used in 56 places, so it was expected that it would take around 56 times to update the keys with the current implementation, as the IPIs are the most expensive part of the update. Regarding the int3 handler, the non-batch handler takes 45 ns on average, while the batch version takes around 180 ns. At first glance, it seems to be a high value. But it is not, considering that it is doing 56 updates, rather than one! It is taking four times more, only. This gain is possible because the patch uses a binary search in the vector: log2(56)=5.8. So, it was expected to have an overhead within four times. (voice of tv propaganda) But, that is not all! As the int3 handler keeps on for a shorter period (because the update part is on for a shorter time), the number of hits in the int3 handler decreased by 10%. The question then is: Is it worth paying the price of "135 ns" more in the int3 handler? Considering that, in this test case, we are saving the handling of 53 IPIs, that takes more than these 135 ns, it seems to be a meager price to be paid. Moreover, the test case was forcing the hit of the int3, in practice, it does not take that often. While the IPI takes place on all CPUs, hitting the int3 handler or not! For instance, in an isolated CPU with a process running in user-space (nohz_full use-case), the chances of hitting the int3 handler is barely zero, while there is no way to avoid the IPIs. By bounding the IPIs, we are improving a lot this scenario.

Currently, the patch of an address is done in three steps: -- Pseudo-code #1 - Current implementation --- 1) add an int3 trap to the address that will be patched sync cores (send IPI to all other CPUs) 2) update all but the first byte of the patched range sync cores (send IPI to all other CPUs) 3) replace the first byte (int3) by the first byte of replacing opcode sync cores (send IPI to all other CPUs) -- Pseudo-code #1 --- When a static key has more than one entry, these steps are called once for each entry. The number of IPIs then is linear with regard to the number 'n' of entries of a key: O(n*3), which is O(n). This algorithm works fine for the update of a single key. But we think it is possible to optimize the case in which a static key has more than one entry. For instance, the sched_schedstats jump label has 56 entries in my (updated) fedora kernel, resulting in 168 IPIs for each CPU in which the thread that is enabling the key is _not_ running. With this patch, rather than receiving a single patch to be processed, a vector of patches is passed, enabling the rewrite of the pseudo-code #1 in this way: -- Pseudo-code #2 - This patch --- 1) for each patch in the vector: add an int3 trap to the address that will be patched sync cores (send IPI to all other CPUs) 2) for each patch in the vector: update all but the first byte of the patched range sync cores (send IPI to all other CPUs) 3) for each patch in the vector: replace the first byte (int3) by the first byte of replacing opcode sync cores (send IPI to all other CPUs) -- Pseudo-code #2 - This patch --- Doing the update in this way, the number of IPI becomes O(3) with regard to the number of keys, which is O(1). The batch mode is done with the function text_poke_bp_batch(), that receives two arguments: a vector of "struct text_to_poke", and the number of entries in the vector. The vector must be sorted by the addr field of the text_to_poke structure, enabling the binary search of a handler in the poke_int3_handler function (a fast path).

In the batching mode, all the entries of a given key are updated at once. During the update of a key, a hit in the int3 handler will check if the hitting code address belongs to one of these keys. To optimize the search of a given code in the vector of entries being updated, a binary search is used. The binary search relies on the order of the entries of a key by its code. Hence the keys need to be sorted by the code too, so sort the entries of a given key by the code.

The 5.1 mount system rework changed the smackfsdef mount option to smackfsdefault. This fixes the regression by making smackfsdef treated the same way as smackfsdefault. Also fix the smack_param_specs[] to have "smack" prefixes on all the names. This isn't visible to a user unless they either: (a) Try to mount a filesystem that's converted to the internal mount API and that implements the ->parse_monolithic() context operation - and only then if they call security_fs_context_parse_param() rather than security_sb_eat_lsm_opts(). There are no examples of this upstream yet, but nfs will probably want to do this for nfs2 or nfs3. (b) Use fsconfig() to configure the filesystem - in which case security_fs_context_parse_param() will be called. This issue is that smack_sb_eat_lsm_opts() checks for the "smack" prefix on the options, but smack_fs_context_parse_param() does not.

The mapper may be NULL when called from register_ftrace_function_probe() with probe->data == NULL. This issue can be reproduced as follow (it may be covered by compiler optimization sometime): / # cat /sys/kernel/debug/tracing/set_ftrace_filter #### all functions enabled #### / # echo foo_bar:dump > /sys/kernel/debug/tracing/set_ftrace_filter [ 206.949100] Unable to handle kernel NULL pointer dereference at virtual address 0000000000000000 [ 206.952402] Mem abort info: [ 206.952819] ESR = 0x96000006 [ 206.955326] Exception class = DABT (current EL), IL = 32 bits [ 206.955844] SET = 0, FnV = 0 [ 206.956272] EA = 0, S1PTW = 0 [ 206.956652] Data abort info: [ 206.957320] ISV = 0, ISS = 0x00000006 [ 206.959271] CM = 0, WnR = 0 [ 206.959938] user pgtable: 4k pages, 48-bit VAs, pgdp=0000000419f3a000 [ 206.960483] [0000000000000000] pgd=0000000411a87003, pud=0000000411a83003, pmd=0000000000000000 [ 206.964953] Internal error: Oops: 96000006 [#1] SMP [ 206.971122] Dumping ftrace buffer: [ 206.973677] (ftrace buffer empty) [ 206.975258] Modules linked in: [ 206.976631] Process sh (pid: 281, stack limit = 0x(____ptrval____)) [ 206.978449] CPU: 10 PID: 281 Comm: sh Not tainted 5.2.0-rc1+ #17 [ 206.978955] Hardware name: linux,dummy-virt (DT) [ 206.979883] pstate: 60000005 (nZCv daif -PAN -UAO) [ 206.980499] pc : free_ftrace_func_mapper+0x2c/0x118 [ 206.980874] lr : ftrace_count_free+0x68/0x80 [ 206.982539] sp : ffff0000182f3ab0 [ 206.983102] x29: ffff0000182f3ab0 x28: ffff8003d0ec1700 [ 206.983632] x27: ffff000013054b40 x26: 0000000000000001 [ 206.984000] x25: ffff00001385f000 x24: 0000000000000000 [ 206.984394] x23: ffff000013453000 x22: ffff000013054000 [ 206.984775] x21: 0000000000000000 x20: ffff00001385fe28 [ 206.986575] x19: ffff000013872c30 x18: 0000000000000000 [ 206.987111] x17: 0000000000000000 x16: 0000000000000000 [ 206.987491] x15: ffffffffffffffb0 x14: 0000000000000000 [ 206.987850] x13: 000000000017430e x12: 0000000000000580 [ 206.988251] x11: 0000000000000000 x10: cccccccccccccccc [ 206.988740] x9 : 0000000000000000 x8 : ffff000013917550 [ 206.990198] x7 : ffff000012fac2e8 x6 : ffff000012fac000 [ 206.991008] x5 : ffff0000103da588 x4 : 0000000000000001 [ 206.991395] x3 : 0000000000000001 x2 : ffff000013872a28 [ 206.991771] x1 : 0000000000000000 x0 : 0000000000000000 [ 206.992557] Call trace: [ 206.993101] free_ftrace_func_mapper+0x2c/0x118 [ 206.994827] ftrace_count_free+0x68/0x80 [ 206.995238] release_probe+0xfc/0x1d0 [ 206.995555] register_ftrace_function_probe+0x4a8/0x868 [ 206.995923] ftrace_trace_probe_callback.isra.4+0xb8/0x180 [ 206.996330] ftrace_dump_callback+0x50/0x70 [ 206.996663] ftrace_regex_write.isra.29+0x290/0x3a8 [ 206.997157] ftrace_filter_write+0x44/0x60 [ 206.998971] __vfs_write+0x64/0xf0 [ 206.999285] vfs_write+0x14c/0x2f0 [ 206.999591] ksys_write+0xbc/0x1b0 [ 206.999888] __arm64_sys_write+0x3c/0x58 [ 207.000246] el0_svc_common.constprop.0+0x408/0x5f0 [ 207.000607] el0_svc_handler+0x144/0x1c8 [ 207.000916] el0_svc+0x8/0xc [ 207.003699] Code: aa0003f8 a9025bf5 aa0103f5 f946ea80 (f9400303) [ 207.008388] ---[ end trace 7b6d11b5f542bdf1 ]--- [ 207.010126] Kernel panic - not syncing: Fatal exception [ 207.011322] SMP: stopping secondary CPUs [ 207.013956] Dumping ftrace buffer: [ 207.014595] (ftrace buffer empty) [ 207.015632] Kernel Offset: disabled [ 207.017187] CPU features: 0x002,20006008 [ 207.017985] Memory Limit: none [ 207.019825] ---[ end Kernel panic - not syncing: Fatal exception ]--- Link: http://lkml.kernel.org/r/20190606031754.10798-1-liwei391@huawei.comSigned-off-by: Wei Li <liwei391@huawei.com> Signed-off-by: Steven Rostedt (VMware) <rostedt@goodmis.org>

It's possible for livepatch and ftrace to be toggling a module's text permissions at the same time, resulting in the following panic: BUG: unable to handle page fault for address: ffffffffc005b1d9 #PF: supervisor write access in kernel mode #PF: error_code(0x0003) - permissions violation PGD 3ea0c067 P4D 3ea0c067 PUD 3ea0e067 PMD 3cc13067 PTE 3b8a1061 Oops: 0003 [#1] PREEMPT SMP PTI CPU: 1 PID: 453 Comm: insmod Tainted: G O K 5.2.0-rc1-a188339c #1 Hardware name: QEMU Standard PC (i440FX + PIIX, 1996), BIOS 1.12.0-20181126_142135-anatol 04/01/2014 RIP: 0010:apply_relocate_add+0xbe/0x14c Code: fa 0b 74 21 48 83 fa 18 74 38 48 83 fa 0a 75 40 eb 08 48 83 38 00 74 33 eb 53 83 38 00 75 4e 89 08 89 c8 eb 0a 83 38 00 75 43 <89> 08 48 63 c1 48 39 c8 74 2e eb 48 83 38 00 75 32 48 29 c1 89 08 RSP: 0018:ffffb223c00dbb10 EFLAGS: 00010246 RAX: ffffffffc005b1d9 RBX: 0000000000000000 RCX: ffffffff8b200060 RDX: 000000000000000b RSI: 0000004b0000000b RDI: ffff96bdfcd33000 RBP: ffffb223c00dbb38 R08: ffffffffc005d040 R09: ffffffffc005c1f0 R10: ffff96bdfcd33c40 R11: ffff96bdfcd33b80 R12: 0000000000000018 R13: ffffffffc005c1f0 R14: ffffffffc005e708 R15: ffffffff8b2fbc74 FS: 00007f5f447beba8(0000) GS:ffff96bdff900000(0000) knlGS:0000000000000000 CS: 0010 DS: 0000 ES: 0000 CR0: 0000000080050033 CR2: ffffffffc005b1d9 CR3: 000000003cedc002 CR4: 0000000000360ea0 DR0: 0000000000000000 DR1: 0000000000000000 DR2: 0000000000000000 DR3: 0000000000000000 DR6: 00000000fffe0ff0 DR7: 0000000000000400 Call Trace: klp_init_object_loaded+0x10f/0x219 ? preempt_latency_start+0x21/0x57 klp_enable_patch+0x662/0x809 ? virt_to_head_page+0x3a/0x3c ? kfree+0x8c/0x126 patch_init+0x2ed/0x1000 [livepatch_test02] ? 0xffffffffc0060000 do_one_initcall+0x9f/0x1c5 ? kmem_cache_alloc_trace+0xc4/0xd4 ? do_init_module+0x27/0x210 do_init_module+0x5f/0x210 load_module+0x1c41/0x2290 ? fsnotify_path+0x3b/0x42 ? strstarts+0x2b/0x2b ? kernel_read+0x58/0x65 __do_sys_finit_module+0x9f/0xc3 ? __do_sys_finit_module+0x9f/0xc3 __x64_sys_finit_module+0x1a/0x1c do_syscall_64+0x52/0x61 entry_SYSCALL_64_after_hwframe+0x44/0xa9 The above panic occurs when loading two modules at the same time with ftrace enabled, where at least one of the modules is a livepatch module: CPU0 CPU1 klp_enable_patch() klp_init_object_loaded() module_disable_ro() ftrace_module_enable() ftrace_arch_code_modify_post_process() set_all_modules_text_ro() klp_write_object_relocations() apply_relocate_add() *patches read-only code* - BOOM A similar race exists when toggling ftrace while loading a livepatch module.
