The IOCB_DONTCACHE writeback path in generic_write_sync() calls
filemap_flush_range() on every write, submitting writeback inline in
the writer's context. Perf lock contention profiling shows the
performance problem is not lock contention but the writeback submission
work itself — walking the page tree and submitting I/O blocks the writer
for milliseconds, inflating p99.9 latency from 23ms (buffered) to 93ms
(dontcache).
Replace the inline filemap_flush_range() call with a flusher kick that
drains dirty pages in the background. This moves writeback submission
completely off the writer's hot path.
To avoid flushing unrelated buffered dirty data, add a dedicated
WB_start_dontcache bit and wb_check_start_dontcache() handler that uses
the per-wb WB_DONTCACHE_DIRTY counter to determine how many pages to
write back. The flusher writes back that many pages from the oldest dirty
inodes (not restricted to dontcache-specific inodes). This helps
preserve I/O batching while limiting the scope of expedited writeback.
Like WB_start_all, the WB_start_dontcache bit coalesces multiple
DONTCACHE writes into a single flusher wakeup without per-write
allocations. Use test_and_clear_bit to atomically consume the kick
request before reading the dirty counter and starting writeback, so that
concurrent DONTCACHE writes during writeback can re-set the bit and
schedule a follow-up flusher run.
Read the dirty counter with wb_stat_sum() (aggregating per-CPU batches)
rather than wb_stat() (which reads only the global counter) to ensure
small writes below the percpu batch threshold are visible to the flusher.
In filemap_dontcache_kick_writeback(), set the WB_start_dontcache bit
inside the unlocked_inode_to_wb_begin/end section for correct cgroup
writeback domain targeting, but defer the wb_wakeup() call until after
the section ends, since wb_wakeup() uses spin_unlock_irq() which would
unconditionally re-enable interrupts while the i_pages xa_lock may still
be held under irqsave during a cgroup writeback switch. Pin the wb with
wb_get() inside the RCU critical section before calling wb_wakeup()
outside it, since cgroup bdi_writeback structures are RCU-freed and the
wb pointer could become invalid after unlocked_inode_to_wb_end() drops
the RCU read lock.
Also add WB_REASON_DONTCACHE as a new writeback reason for tracing
visibility.
dontcache-bench results (same host, T6F_SKL_1920GBF, 251 GiB RAM,
xfs on NVMe, fio io_uring):
Buffered and direct I/O paths are unaffected by this patchset. All
improvements are confined to the dontcache path:
Single-stream throughput (MB/s):
Before After Change
seq-write/dontcache 298 897 +201%
rand-write/dontcache 131 236 +80%
Tail latency improvements (seq-write/dontcache):
p99: 135,266 us -> 23,986 us (-82%)
p99.9: 8,925,479 us -> 28,443 us (-99.7%)
Multi-writer (4 jobs, sequential write):
Before After Change
dontcache aggregate (MB/s) 2,529 4,532 +79%
dontcache p99 (us) 8,553 1,002 -88%
dontcache p99.9 (us) 109,314 1,057 -99%
Dontcache multi-writer throughput now matches buffered (4,532 vs
4,616 MB/s).
32-file write (Axboe test):
Before After Change
dontcache aggregate (MB/s) 1,548 3,499 +126%
dontcache p99 (us) 10,170 602 -94%
Peak dirty pages (MB) 1,837 213 -88%
Dontcache now reaches 81% of buffered throughput (was 35%).
Competing writers (dontcache vs buffered, separate files):
Before After
buffered writer 868 433 MB/s
dontcache writer 415 433 MB/s
Aggregate 1,284 866 MB/s
Previously the buffered writer starved the dontcache writer 2:1.
With per-bdi_writeback tracking, both writers now receive equal
bandwidth. The aggregate matches the buffered-vs-buffered baseline
(863 MB/s), indicating fair sharing regardless of I/O mode.
The dontcache writer's p99.9 latency collapsed from 119 ms to
33 ms (-73%), eliminating the severe periodic stalls seen in the
baseline. Both writers now share identical latency profiles,
matching the buffered-vs-buffered pattern.
The per-bdi_writeback dirty tracking dramatically reduces peak dirty
pages in dontcache workloads, with the 32-file test dropping from
1.8 GB to 213 MB. Dontcache sequential write throughput triples and
multi-writer throughput reaches parity with buffered I/O, with tail
latencies collapsing by 1-2 orders of magnitude.

Commit-time fast commit snapshots run under jbd2_journal_lock_updates(),
so it is useful to quantify the time spent with updates locked and to
understand why snapshotting can fail.
Add a new tracepoint, ext4_fc_lock_updates, reporting the time spent in
the updates-locked window along with the number of snapshotted inodes
and ranges. Record the first snapshot failure reason in a stable snap_err

Carlos Song (OSS) <carlos.song@oss.nxp.com> says:
This series fixes two issues in the fsl-lpspi DMA transfer error paths.
Patch 1 replaces the deprecated dmaengine_terminate_all() with
dmaengine_terminate_sync() across all error paths in
fsl_lpspi_dma_transfer().
Patch 2 fixes a missing RX DMA channel termination when TX descriptor
preparation fails. Since the RX channel is already submitted and issued
before the TX descriptor is prepared, returning -EINVAL without
terminating the RX channel leaves it running against buffers that the
SPI core will unmap, potentially causing memory corruption.

Vmscan has six main reclaim entry points: try_to_free_pages() for
direct reclaim, try_to_free_mem_cgroup_pages() for memcg reclaim,
mem_cgroup_shrink_node() for memcg soft limit reclaim, node_reclaim()
for node reclaim, shrink_all_memory() for hibernation reclaim, and
balance_pgdat() for kswapd reclaim.
All of them, except for shrink_all_memory() and balance_pgdat(),
already have begin/end tracepoints. This makes it harder to trace
which reclaim path is responsible for memory reclaim activity, because
kswapd reclaim cannot be identified as cleanly as other reclaim entry
points, even though it is the main background reclaim path under memory
pressure. There may be no need to trace shrink_all_memory() as it is
primarily used during hibernation. So this patch adds the missing
tracepoint pair for balance_pgdat().
The begin tracepoint records the node id, requested reclaim order, and
the requested classzone bound (highest_zoneidx). The end tracepoint
records the node id, the reclaim order that balance_pgdat() finished
with, the requested classzone bound, and nr_reclaimed. Together, they
show the requested reclaim order and classzone bound, whether reclaim
fell back to a lower order, and how much reclaim work was done.
The end tracepoint also records highest_zoneidx even though it does not
change within a balance_pgdat() invocation. This keeps the end event
self-contained, so users can analyze reclaim results directly from end
events without depending on begin/end correlation, which is less
convenient when tracing is filtered or records are dropped. It also
makes it straightforward to relate nr_reclaimed and the final reclaim
order to the requested classzone bound.

In high-performance storage environments, particularly when utilising
RAID controllers with shared tag sets (BLK_MQ_F_TAG_HCTX_SHARED), severe
latency spikes can occur when fast devices (SSDs) are starved of hardware
tags when sharing the same blk_mq_tag_set.
Currently, diagnosing this specific hardware queue contention is
difficult. When a CPU thread exhausts the tag pool, blk_mq_get_tag()
forces the current thread to block uninterruptible via io_schedule().
While this can be inferred via sched:sched_switch or dynamically
traced by attaching a kprobe to blk_mq_mark_tag_wait(), there is no
dedicated, out-of-the-box observability for this event.
This patch introduces the block_rq_tag_wait tracepoint in the tag
allocation slow-path. It triggers immediately before the task state
is altered to TASK_UNINTERRUPTIBLE (ensuring safety for PREEMPT_RT
locks). It exposes the exact hardware context (hctx) that is starved,
the specific pool experiencing starvation (driver, software scheduler,
or reserved), and the exact pool depth.
This provides storage engineers with a zero-configuration, low-overhead
mechanism to definitively identify shared-tag bottlenecks. For example,
userspace can trivially replicate tag starvation counters using bpftrace:
# bpftrace -e 'tracepoint:block:block_rq_tag_wait { @tag_waits[cpu] = count(); }'
Attaching 1 probe...

@tag_waits[4]: 12
@tag_waits[12]: 87

"Including fixes from Bluetooth, wireless and netfilter.
Craziness continues with no end in sight. Even discounting the driver
revert this is a pretty huge PR for standards of the previous era. I'd
speculate - we haven't seen the worst of it, yet. Good news, I guess,
is that so far we haven't seen many (any?) cases of "AI reported a

- Bluetooth: btmtk: accept too short WMT FUNC_CTRL events
- vsock/virtio: relax the recently added memory limit a little
Current release - regressions:
- IB/IPoIB: make sure IB drivers always use async set_rx_mode since
some (mlx5) are now required to use it due to locking changes

- af_unix: fix UAF read of tail->len in unix_stream_data_wait()
- tcp: fix stale per-CPU tcp_tw_isn leak enabling ISN prediction

- ipv4: raw: reject IP_HDRINCL packets with ihl < 5
- Bluetooth: a lot of locking and concurrency fixes (as always)
- batman-adv (mesh wireless networking): a lot of random fixes for

Under some circumstances, netfs_perform_write() doesn't correctly
manipulate folio->private between NULL, NETFS_FOLIO_COPY_TO_CACHE, pointing
to a group and pointing to a netfs_folio struct, leading to potential
multiple attachments of private data with associated folio ref leaks and
also leaks of netfs_folio structs or netfs_group refs.
Fix this by consolidating the place at which a folio is marked uptodate in
one place and having that look at what's attached to folio->private and
decide how to clean it up and then set the new group. Also, the content
shouldn't be flushed if group is NULL, even if a group is specified in the
netfs_group parameter, as that would be the case for a new folio. A
filesystem should always specify netfs_group or never specify netfs_group.
The Sashiko auto-review tool noted that it was theoretically possible that
the fpos >= ctx->zero_point section might leak if it modified a streaming
write folio. This is unlikely, but with a network filesystem, third party
changes can happen. It also pointed out that __netfs_set_group() would
leak if called multiple times on the same folio from the "whole folio
modify section".

In order to avoid reading whilst writing, netfslib will allow "streaming
writes" in which dirty data is stored directly into folios without reading
them first. Such folios are marked dirty but may not be marked uptodate.
If a folio is entirely written by a streaming write, uptodate will be set,
otherwise it will have a netfs_folio struct attached to ->private recording
the dirty region.
In the event that a partially written streaming write page is to be
overwritten entirely by a single write(), netfs_perform_write() will try to
copy over it, but doesn't discard the netfs_folio if it succeeds; further,
it doesn't correctly handle a partial copy that overwrites some of the
dirty data.
Fix this by the following:
(1) If the folio is successfully overwritten, free the netfs_folio struct
before marking the page uptodate.
(2) If the copy to the folio partially fails, but short of the dirty data,
just ignore the copy.
(3) If the copy partially fails and overwrites some of the dirty data,
accept the copy, update the netfs_folio struct to record the new data.
If the folio is now filled, free the netfs_folio and set uptodate,
otherwise return a partial write.

If a streaming write is made, this will leave the relevant modified folio
in a not-uptodate, but dirty state with a netfs_folio struct hung off of
folio->private indicating the dirty range. Subsequently truncating the
file such that the dirty data in the folio is removed, but the first part
of the folio theoretically remains will cause the netfs_folio struct to be
discarded... but will leave the dirty flag set.
If the folio is then read via mmap(), netfs_read_folio() will see that the
page is dirty and jump to netfs_read_gaps() to fill in the missing bits.
netfs_read_gaps(), however, expects there to be a netfs_folio struct
present and can oops because truncate removed it.
Fix this by calling folio_cancel_dirty() in netfs_invalidate_folio() in the
event that all the dirty data in the folio is erased (as nfs does).
Also add some tracepoints to log modifications to a dirty page.
This can be reproduced with something like:
dd if=/dev/zero of=/xfstest.test/foo bs=1M count=1
umount /xfstest.test
mount /xfstest.test
xfs_io -c "w 0xbbbf 0xf96c" \
-c "truncate 0xbbbf" \
-c "mmap -r 0xb000 0x11000" \
-c "mr 0xb000 0x11000" \
/xfstest.test/foo
with fscaching disabled (otherwise streaming writes are suppressed) and a
change to netfs_perform_write() to disallow streaming writes if the fd is
open O_RDWR:
if (//(file->f_mode & FMODE_READ) || <--- comment this out
netfs_is_cache_enabled(ctx)) {
It should be reproducible even without this change, but if prevents the
above trivial xfs_io command from reproducing it.
Note that the initial dd is important: the file must start out sufficiently
large that the zero-point logic doesn't just clear the gaps because it
knows there's nothing in the file to read yet. Unmounting and mounting is
needed to clear the pagecache (there are other ways to do that that may
also work).
This was initially reproduced with the generic/522 xfstest on some patches
that remove the FMODE_READ restriction.

The trace event btrfs_sync_file() is called in an atomic context (all trace

Calvin reported an odd NMI watchdog lockup which claims that the CPU locked
up in user space. He provided a reproducer, which set's up a timerfd based
timer and then rearms it in a loop with an absolute expiry time of 1ns.
As the expiry time is in the past, the timer ends up as the first expiring
timer in the per CPU hrtimer base and the clockevent device is programmed
with the minimum delta value. If the machine is fast enough, this ends up
in a endless loop of programming the delta value to the minimum value
defined by the clock event device, before the timer interrupt can fire,
which starves the interrupt and consequently triggers the lockup detector
because the hrtimer callback of the lockup mechanism is never invoked.
The clockevents code already has a last resort mechanism to prevent that,
but it's sensible to catch such issues before trying to reprogram the clock
event device.
Provide a variant of hrtimer_start_range_ns(), which sanity checks the
timer after queueing it. It does not so before because the timer might be
armed and therefore needs to be dequeued. also we optimize for the latest
possible point to check, so that the clock event prevention is avoided as
much as possible.
If the timer is already expired _before_ the clock event is reprogrammed,
remove the timer from the queue and signal to the caller that the operation
failed by returning false.
That allows the caller to take immediate action without going through the
loops and hoops of the hrtimer interrupt.
The queueing code can't invoke the timer callback as the caller might hold
a lock which is taken in the callback.
Add a tracepoint which allows to analyze the expired at start situation.

If a RESPONSE packet gets a temporary failure during processing, it may end
up in a partially decrypted state - and then get requeued for a retry.
Fix this by just discarding the packet; we will send another CHALLENGE
packet and thereby elicit a further response. Similarly, discard an
incoming CHALLENGE packet if we get an error whilst generating a RESPONSE;
the server will send another CHALLENGE.

If skb_unshare() fails to unshare a packet due to allocation failure in
rxrpc_input_packet(), the skb pointer in the parent (rxrpc_io_thread())
will be NULL'd out. This will likely cause the call to
trace_rxrpc_rx_done() to oops.
Fix this by moving the unsharing down to where rxrpc_input_call_event()
calls rxrpc_input_call_packet(). There are a number of places prior to
that where we ignore DATA packets for a variety of reasons (such as the
call already being complete) for which an unshare is then avoided.
And with that, rxrpc_input_packet() doesn't need to take a pointer to the
pointer to the packet, so change that to just a pointer.

Since commit 2bd82484bb4c ("xps: fix xps for stacked devices"),
skb->napi_id shares storage with sender_cpu. RX tracepoints using
net_dev_rx_verbose_template read skb->napi_id directly and can therefore
report sender_cpu values as if they were NAPI IDs.
For example, on the loopback path this can report 1 as napi_id, where 1
comes from raw_smp_processor_id() + 1 in the XPS path:
# bpftrace -e 'tracepoint:net:netif_rx_entry{ print(args->napi_id); }'
# taskset -c 0 ping -c 1 ::1
Report only valid NAPI IDs in these tracepoints and use 0 otherwise.

Rework __bpf_trace_run() to support sleepable BPF programs by using
explicit RCU flavor selection, following the uprobe_prog_run() pattern.
For sleepable programs, use rcu_read_lock_tasks_trace() for lifetime
protection with migrate_disable(). For non-sleepable programs, use the
regular rcu_read_lock_dont_migrate().
Remove the preempt_disable_notrace/preempt_enable_notrace pair from
the faultable tracepoint BPF probe wrapper in bpf_probe.h, since
migration protection and RCU locking are now handled per-program
inside __bpf_trace_run().
Adapt bpf_prog_test_run_raw_tp() for sleepable programs: reject
BPF_F_TEST_RUN_ON_CPU since sleepable programs cannot run in hardirq
or preempt-disabled context, and call __bpf_prog_test_run_raw_tp()
directly instead of via smp_call_function_single(). Rework
__bpf_prog_test_run_raw_tp() to select RCU flavor per-program and

Add more trace coverage to amdxdna job handling and mailbox receive
processing to make driver execution easier to debug.
Extend the xdna_job trace event to record the command opcode in
addition to the job sequence number. Use the enhanced tracepoint in
the job run, sent-to-device, signaled-fence, and job-free paths so
that trace output can be correlated with the command being executed.
Also add debug-point tracing when a command is received through the
submit ioctl path, and add a trace event when the mailbox RX worker
runs.
These changes improve visibility into job lifetime transitions and
mailbox activity, which helps debug command flow and scheduler issues.

Pull nfsd updates from Chuck Lever:
- filehandle signing to defend against filehandle-guessing attacks
(Benjamin Coddington)
The server now appends a SipHash-2-4 MAC to each filehandle when
the new "sign_fh" export option is enabled. NFSD then verifies
filehandles received from clients against the expected MAC;
mismatches return NFS error STALE
- convert the entire NLMv4 server-side XDR layer from hand-written C to
xdrgen-generated code, spanning roughly thirty patches (Chuck Lever)
XDR functions are generally boilerplate code and are easy to get
wrong. The goals of this conversion are improved memory safety, lower
maintenance burden, and groundwork for eventual Rust code generation
for these functions.
- improve pNFS block/SCSI layout robustness with two related changes
(Dai Ngo)
SCSI persistent reservation fencing is now tracked per client and
per device via an xarray, to avoid both redundant preempt operations
on devices already fenced and a potential NFSD deadlock when all nfsd
threads are waiting for a layout return.
- scalability and infrastructure improvements
Sincere thanks to all contributors, reviewers, testers, and bug
reporters who participated in the v7.1 NFSD development cycle.

The __mod_memcg_state() and __mod_memcg_lruvec_state() functions are also
used to reparent non-hierarchical stats. In this scenario, the values
passed to them are accumulated statistics that might be extremely large
and exceed the upper limit of a 32-bit integer.
Change the val parameter type from int to long in these functions and
their corresponding tracepoints (memcg_rstat_stats) to prevent potential
overflow issues.
After that, in memcg_state_val_in_pages(), if the passed val is negative,
the expression val * unit / PAGE_SIZE could be implicitly converted to a
massive positive number when compared with 1UL in the max() macro. This
leads to returning an incorrect massive positive value.
Fix this by using abs(val) to calculate the magnitude first, and then
restoring the sign of the value before returning the result.
Additionally, use mult_frac() to prevent potential overflow during the
multiplication of val and unit.

In the near future, a folio will no longer pin its corresponding memory
cgroup. To ensure safety, it will only be appropriate to hold the rcu
read lock or acquire a reference to the memory cgroup returned by
folio_memcg(), thereby preventing it from being released.
In the current patch, the function get_mem_cgroup_css_from_folio() and the
rcu read lock are employed to safeguard against the release of the memory
cgroup.
This serves as a preparatory measure for the reparenting of the
LRU pages.

Pull tracing updates from Steven Rostedt:
- Fix printf format warning for bprintf
sunrpc uses a trace_printk() that triggers a printf warning during
the compile. Move the __printf() attribute around for when debugging
is not enabled the warning will go away
- Remove redundant check for EVENT_FILE_FL_FREED in
event_filter_write()
The FREED flag is checked in the call to event_file_file() and then
checked again right afterward, which is unneeded
- Clean up event_file_file() and event_file_data() helpers
These helper functions played a different role in the past, but now
with eventfs, the READ_ONCE() isn't needed. Simplify the code a bit
and also add a warning to event_file_data() if the file or its data
is not present
- Remove updating file->private_data in tracing open
All access to the file private data is handled by the helper
functions, which do not use file->private_data. Stop updating it on
open
- Show ENUM names in function arguments via BTF in function tracing
When showing the function arguments when func-args option is set for
function tracing, if one of the arguments is found to be an enum,
show the name of the enum instead of its number
- Add new trace_call__##name() API for tracepoints
Tracepoints are enabled via static_branch() blocks, where when not
enabled, there's only a nop that is in the code where the execution
will just skip over it. When tracing is enabled, the nop is converted
to a direct jump to the tracepoint code. Sometimes more calculations
are required to be performed to update the parameters of the
tracepoint. In this case, trace_##name##_enabled() is called which is
a static_branch() that gets enabled only when the tracepoint is
enabled. This allows the extra calculations to also be skipped by the
nop:
if (trace_foo_enabled()) {
x = bar();
trace_foo(x);
}
Where the x=bar() is only performed when foo is enabled. The problem
with this approach is that there's now two static_branch() calls. One
for checking if the tracepoint is enabled, and then again to know if
the tracepoint should be called. The second one is redundant
Introduce trace_call__foo() that will call the foo() tracepoint
directly without doing a static_branch():
if (trace_foo_enabled()) {
x = bar();
trace_call__foo();
}
- Update various locations to use the new trace_call__##name() API
- Move snapshot code out of trace.c
Cleaning up trace.c to not be a "dump all", move the snapshot code
out of it and into a new trace_snapshot.c file
- Clean up some "%*.s" to "%*s"
- Allow boot kernel command line options to be called multiple times
Have options like:
ftrace_filter=foo ftrace_filter=bar ftrace_filter=zoo
Equal to:
ftrace_filter=foo,bar,zoo
- Fix ipi_raise event CPU field to be a CPU field
The ipi_raise target_cpus field is defined as a __bitmask(). There is
now a __cpumask() field definition. Update the field to use that
- Have hist_field_name() use a snprintf() and not a series of strcat()
It's safer to use snprintf() that a series of strcat()
- Fix tracepoint regfunc balancing
A tracepoint can define a "reg" and "unreg" function that gets called
before the tracepoint is enabled, and after it is disabled
respectively. But on error, after the "reg" func is called and the
tracepoint is not enabled, the "unreg" function is not called to tear
down what the "reg" function performed
- Fix output that shows what histograms are enabled
Event variables are displayed incorrectly in the histogram output
Instead of "sched.sched_wakeup.$var", it is showing
"$sched.sched_wakeup.var" where the '$' is in the incorrect location

Pull runtime verification updates from Steven Rostedt:
- Refactor da_monitor header to share handlers across monitor types
No functional changes, only less code duplication.
- Add Hybrid Automata model class
Add a new model class that extends deterministic automata by adding
constraints on transitions and states. Those constraints can take
into account wall-clock time and as such allow RV monitor to make
assertions on real time. Add documentation and code generation
scripts.
- Add stall monitor as hybrid automaton example
Add a monitor that triggers a violation when a task is stalling as an
example of automaton working with real time variables.
- Convert the opid monitor to a hybrid automaton
The opid monitor can be heavily simplified if written as a hybrid
automaton: instead of tracking preempt and interrupt enable/disable
events, it can just run constraints on the preemption/interrupt
states when events like wakeup and need_resched verify.
- Add support for per-object monitors in DA/HA
Allow writing deterministic and hybrid automata monitors for generic
objects (e.g. any struct), by exploiting a hash table where objects
are saved. This allows to track more than just tasks in RV. For
instance it will be used to track deadline entities in deadline
monitors.
- Add deadline tracepoints and move some deadline utilities
Prepare the ground for deadline monitors by defining events and
exporting helpers.
- Add nomiss deadline monitor
Add first example of deadline monitor asserting all entities complete
before their deadline.
- Improve rvgen error handling
Introduce AutomataError exception class and better handle expected
exceptions while showing a backtrace for unexpected ones.
- Improve python code quality in rvgen
Refactor the rvgen generation scripts to align with python best
practices: use f-strings instead of %, use len() instead of
__len__(), remove semicolons, use context managers for file
operations, fix whitespace violations, extract magic strings into
constants, remove unused imports and methods.
- Fix small bugs in rvgen
The generator scripts presented some corner case bugs: logical error
in validating what a correct dot file looks like, fix an isinstance()
check, enforce a dot file has an initial state, fix type annotations
and typos in comments.
- rvgen refactoring
Refactor automata.py to use iterator-based parsing and handle
required arguments directly in argparse.
- Allow epoll in rtapp-sleep monitor
The epoll_wait call is now rt-friendly so it should be allowed in the
sleep monitor as a valid sleep method.

git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/trace/linux-trace
Pull ring-buffer updates from Steven Rostedt:
- Add remote buffers for pKVM
pKVM has a hypervisor component that is used to protect the guest
from the host kernel. This hypervisor is a black box to the kernel as
the kernel is to user space. The remote buffers are used to have a
memory mapping between the hypervisor and the kernel where kernel may
send commands to enable tracing within the hypervisor. Then the
kernel will read this memory mapping just like user space can read
the memory mapped ring buffer of the kernel tracing system.
Since the hypervisor only has a single context, it doesn't need to
worry about races between normal context, interrupt context and NMIs
like the kernel does. The ring buffer it uses doesn't need to be as
complex. The remote buffers are a simple version of the ring buffer
that works in a single context. They are still per-CPU and use sub
buffers. The data layout is the same as the kernel's ring buffer to
share the same parsing.
Currently, only ARM64 implements pKVM, but there's work to implement
it also in x86. The remote buffer code is separated out from the ARM
implementation so that it can be used in the future by x86.
The ARM64 updates for pKVM is in the ARM/KVM tree and it merged in
the remote buffers of this tree.
- Make the backup instance non reusable
The backup instance is a copy of the persistent ring buffer so that
the persistent ring buffer could start recording again without using
the data from the previous boot. The backup isn't for normal tracing.
It is made read-only, and after it is consumed, it is automatically
removed.
- Have backup copy persistent instance before it starts recording
To allow the persistent ring buffer to start recording from the
kernel command line commands, move the copy of the backup instance to
before the the command line options start recording.
- Report header_page overwrite field as "char" and not "int'
The rust parser of the header_page file was triggering a warning when
it defined the overwrite variable as "int" but it was only a single
byte in size.
- Fix memory barriers for the trace_buffer CPU mask
When a CPU comes online, the bit is set to allow readers to know that
the CPU buffer is allocated. The bit is set after the allocation is
done, and a smp_wmb() is performed after the allocation and before
the setting of the bit. But instead of adding a smp_rmb() to all
readers, since once a buffer is created for a CPU it is not deleted
if that CPU goes offline, so this allocation is almost always done at
boot up before any readers exist.
If for the unlikely case where a CPU comes online for the first time
after the system boot has finished, send an IPI to all CPUs to force
the smp_rmb() for each CPU.
- Show clock function being used in debugging ring buffer data
When the ring buffer checks are enabled and the ring buffer detects
an inconsistency in the times of the invents, print out the clock
being used when the error occurred. There was a very hard to hit bug
that would happen every so often and it ended up being only triggered
when the jiffies clock was being used. If the bug showed the clock
being used, it would have been much easier to find the problem (which
was an internal function was being traced which caused the clock
accounting to go off).
