[PATCH v8 00/11] thread_info: use helpers to snapshot thread flags

[PATCH v8 00/11] thread_info: use helpers to snapshot thread flags

[Mark Rutland]

This is a trivial fixup and resend of v7 due to a typo breaking the build on
powerpc, as spotted by the kernel test robot:

  https://lore.kernel.org/r/202111271105.v7pE3REd-lkp@intel.com

I've fixed that, and I've double-checked the series, build testing a few
configs for all architectures for chieck the kernel.org crosstool page
provides a GCC 10.3.0 binary. That hit some (unrelated) latent issues,
but there are no new failrues introduced by this series.

Thomas, I'm hoping you'd be happy to pick this again.

As thread_info::flags scan be manipulated by remote threads, it is
necessary to use atomics or READ_ONCE() to ensure that code manipulates
a consistent snapshot, but we open-code plain accesses to
thread_info::flags across the kernel tree.

Generally we get away with this, but tools like KCSAN legitimately warn
that there is a data-race, and this is potentially fragile with compiler
optimizations, LTO, etc.

These patches introduce new helpers to snapshot the thread flags, with the
intent being that these should replace all plain accesses.

Since v1 [1]:
* Drop RFC
* Make read_ti_thread_flags() __always_inline
* Clarify commit messages
* Fix typo in arm64 patch
* Accumulate Reviewed-by / Acked-by tags
* Drop powerpc patch to avoid potential conflicts (per [2])

Since v2 [3]:
* Rebase to v5.14-rc1
* Reinstate powerpc patch

Since v3 [4]:
* Rebase to v5.14-rc4

Since v4 [5]:
* Rebase to v5.15-rc1
* Apply Acked-by / Tested-by tags

Since v5 [6]:
* Fix trivial whitespace bug in x86 patch

Since v6 [7]:
* Rebase to v5.16-rc1
* Fix new issue on PPC where thread flags could be discarded

Since v7 [8]:
* Add missing `&` to use of set_bits()

[PATCH v8 01/11] thread_info: add helpers to snapshot thread flags

[Mark Rutland]

In <linux/thread_info.h> there are helpers to manipulate individual
thread flags, but where code wants to check several flags at once, it
must open code reading current_thread_info()->flags and operating on a
snapshot.

As some flags can be set remotely it's necessary to use READ_ONCE() to
get a consistent snapshot even when IRQs are disabled, but some code
forgets to do this. Generally this is unlike to cause a problem in
practice, but it is somewhat unsound, and KCSAN will legitimately warn
that there is a data race.

To make it easier to do the right thing, and to highlight that
concurrent modification is possible, add new helpers to snapshot the
flags, which should be used in preference to plain reads. Subsequent
patches will move existing code to use the new helpers.

[PATCH v8 09/11] powerpc: avoid discarding flags in system_call_exception()

[Mark Rutland]

Some thread flags can be set remotely, and so even when IRQs are
disabled, the flags can change under our feet. Thus, when setting flags
we must use an atomic operation rather than a plain read-modify-write
sequence, as a plain read-modify-write may discard flags which are
concurrently set by a remote thread, e.g.

	// task A			// task B
	tmp = A->thread_info.flags;
					set_tsk_thread_flag(A, NEWFLAG_B);
	tmp |= NEWFLAG_A;
	A->thread_info.flags = tmp;

In arch/powerpc/kernel/interrupt.c's system_call_exception(), we set
_TIF_RESTOREALL in the thread info flags with a read-modify-write, which
may result in other flags being discarded.

Elsewhere in the file we use clear_bits() to atomically remove flag
bits, so let's use set_bits() here for consistency with those.

I presume there may be reasons (e.g. instrumentation) that prevent the
use of set_thread_flag() and clear_thread_flag() here, which would
otherwise be preferable.

[PATCH v8 10/11] powerpc: snapshot thread flags

[Mark Rutland]

Some thread flags can be set remotely, and so even when IRQs are
disabled, the flags can change under our feet. Generally this is
unlikely to cause a problem in practice, but it is somewhat unsound, and
KCSAN will legitimately warn that there is a data race.

To avoid such issues, a snapshot of the flags has to be taken prior to
using them. Some places already use READ_ONCE() for that, others do not.

Convert them all to the new flag accessor helpers.

powerpc: Avoid discarding flags in system_call_exception()

Some thread flags can be set remotely, and so even when IRQs are disabled,
the flags can change under our feet. Thus, when setting flags we must use
an atomic operation rather than a plain read-modify-write sequence, as a
plain read-modify-write may discard flags which are concurrently set by a
remote thread, e.g.

	// task A			// task B
	tmp = A->thread_info.flags;
					set_tsk_thread_flag(A, NEWFLAG_B);
	tmp |= NEWFLAG_A;
	A->thread_info.flags = tmp;

arch/powerpc/kernel/interrupt.c's system_call_exception() sets
_TIF_RESTOREALL in the thread info flags with a read-modify-write, which
may result in other flags being discarded.

Elsewhere in the file it uses clear_bits() to atomically remove flag bits,
so use set_bits() here for consistency with those.

There may be reasons (e.g. instrumentation) that prevent the use of
set_thread_flag() and clear_thread_flag() here, which would otherwise be
preferable.

ARM: Snapshot thread flags

Some thread flags can be set remotely, and so even when IRQs are disabled,
the flags can change under our feet. Generally this is unlikely to cause a
problem in practice, but it is somewhat unsound, and KCSAN will
legitimately warn that there is a data race.

To avoid such issues, a snapshot of the flags has to be taken prior to
using them. Some places already use READ_ONCE() for that, others do not.

Convert them all to the new flag accessor helpers.

thread_info: Add helpers to snapshot thread flags

In <linux/thread_info.h> there are helpers to manipulate individual thread
flags, but where code wants to check several flags at once, it must open
code reading current_thread_info()->flags and operating on a snapshot.

As some flags can be set remotely it's necessary to use READ_ONCE() to get
a consistent snapshot even when IRQs are disabled, but some code forgets to
do this. Generally this is unlike to cause a problem in practice, but it is
somewhat unsound, and KCSAN will legitimately warn that there is a data
race.

To make it easier to do the right thing, and to highlight that concurrent
modification is possible, add new helpers to snapshot the flags, which
should be used in preference to plain reads. Subsequent patches will move
existing code to use the new helpers.
