[PATCH bpf-next 1/2] cpuidle/rcu: Making arch_cpu_idle and rcu_idle_exit noinstr

[Jiri Olsa]

Making arch_cpu_idle and rcu_idle_exit noinstr. Both functions run
in rcu 'not watching' context and if there's tracer attached to
them, which uses rcu (e.g. kprobe multi interface) it will hit RCU
warning like:

  [    3.018401]  do_idle+0x1c3/0x1d0

The call path is following:

default_idle_call
  rcu_idle_enter
  arch_cpu_idle
  rcu_idle_exit

The arch_cpu_idle and rcu_idle_exit are the only ones from above
path that are traceble and cause this problem on my setup.

[PATCH bpf-next 2/2] selftests/bpf: Remove filter for unsafe functions in kprobe_multi test

[Jiri Olsa]

Removing filter for arch_cpu_idle and rcu_* functions.

Attaching to them was causing RCU warnings [1]:

From an RCU viewpoint:

[ I considered asking for an instrumentation_on() in rcu_idle_exit(),
but there is no point given that local_irq_restore() isn't something
you instrument anyway. ]

So local_irq_save() in the beginning of rcu_idle_exit() is unsafe because
it is instrumentable by the function (graph)  tracers and the irqsoff tracer.

Also it calls into lockdep that might make use of RCU.

That's why rcu_idle_exit() is not noinstr yet. See this patch:

https://lore.kernel.org/lkml/20220503100051.2799723-4-frederic@kernel.org/

Ah, I should have looked at the context-tracking series again!

And I have to ask...  How much debugging capability are we really losing
by continuing to use the raw versions of local_irq_{save,restore}()?

For the RCU part, how about as follows?

If this approach is reasonable, my guess would be that Frederic will pull
it into his context-tracking series, perhaps using a revert of this patch
to maintain sanity in the near term.

If this approach is unreasonable, well, that is Murphy for you!

For the x86 idle part, my feeling is still that the rcu_idle_enter()
and rcu_idle_exit() need to be pushed deeper into the code.  Perhaps
an ongoing process as the idle loop continues to be dug deeper?

    rcu: Apply noinstr to rcu_idle_enter() and rcu_idle_exit()
    
    This commit applies the "noinstr" tag to the rcu_idle_enter() and
    rcu_idle_exit() functions, which are invoked from portions of the idle
    loop that cannot be instrumented.  These tags require reworking the
    rcu_eqs_enter() and rcu_eqs_exit() functions that these two functions
    invoke in order to cause them to use normal assertions rather than
    lockdep.  In addition, within rcu_idle_exit(), the raw versions of
    local_irq_save() and local_irq_restore() are used, again to avoid issues
    with lockdep in uninstrumented code.
    
    This patch is based in part on an earlier patch by Jiri Olsa, discussions
    with Peter Zijlstra and Frederic Weisbecker, earlier changes by Thomas
    Gleixner, and off-list discussions with Yonghong Song.

I checked and it works in my test ;-)

for arch_cpu_idle with noinstr I'm getting this W=1 warning:

vmlinux.o: warning: objtool: arch_cpu_idle()+0xb: call to {dynamic}() leaves .noinstr.text section

we could have it with notrace if that's a problem

I would be happy to queue the arch_cpu_idle() portion of your patch on
-rcu, if that would move things forward.  I suspect that additional
x86_idle() surgery is required, but maybe I am just getting confused
about what the x86_idle() function pointer can point to.  But it looks
to me like these need further help:

o	static void amd_e400_idle(void)
	Plus things it calls, like tick_broadcast_enter() and
	tick_broadcast_exit().

o	static __cpuidle void mwait_idle(void)

So it might not be all that much additional work, even if I have avoided
confusion about what the x86_idle() function pointer can point to.  But
I do not trust my ability to test this accurately.

Thoughts?

same here ;-) you're right, there will be other places based
on x86_idle function pointer.. I'll check it, but perhaps we
could address that when someone reports that

Any thoughts on the correct approach?  One extreme would be to
mark all sorts of things noinstr.  Another extreme would be to
enclose all sorts of things in RCU_NONIDLE().  Yet another extreme
would be to push the rcu_idle_enter() and rcu_idle_exit() calls
still deeper into the idle loop.

Or does Peter's recent series somehow cover all of this?

noinstr includes a lot of attributes:

#define noinstr                                                         \
         noinline notrace __attribute((__section__(".noinstr.text")))    \
         __no_kcsan __no_sanitize_address __no_profile 
__no_sanitize_coverage

should we use notrace here?

hm right, so notrace should be enough for our case (kprobe_multi)
which is based on ftrace/fprobe jump

noinstr (among other things) adds the function also the kprobes
blacklist, which will prevent standard kprobes to attach

ASAICS standard kprobes use rcu in probe path as well, like in
opt_pre_handler function

so I think we should go with noinstr

Yes, I agree that noinstr is preferrable for these functions.

Hi Jiri,

Would you like to consider to add rcu_is_watching check in
to solve this from the viewpoint of kprobe_multi_link_prog_run
itself? And accounting of missed runs can be added as well
to imporve observability.

From the perspective of kprobe_multi_link_prog_run, any traceable

kprobe_multi/fprobe share the same set of attachments with fentry.
Currently, fentry does not filter with !rcu_is_watching, maybe
because this is an extreme corner case. Not sure whether it is
worthwhile or not.

Maybe if you can give a concrete example (e.g., attachment point)
with current code base to show what the issue you encountered and
it will make it easier to judge whether adding !rcu_is_watching()
is necessary or not.

Agreed, it's rare, especially after Peter's patches which push narrow
down rcu eqs regions
in the idle path and reduce the chance of any traceable functions
happening in between.

However, from RCU's perspective, we ought to check if rcu_is_watching
theoretically
when there's a chance our code will run in the idle path and also we
need rcu to be alive,
And also we cannot simply make assumptions for any future changes in
the idle path.
You know, just like what was hit in the thread.

I can reproduce likely warnings on v6.1.18 where arch_cpu_idle is
traceable but not on the latest version
so far. But as I state above, in theory we need it. So here is a
gentle ping :) .

hum, this change [1] added rcu_is_watching check to ftrace_test_recursion_trylock,
which we use in fprobe_handler and is coming to fprobe_exit_handler in [2]

I might be missing something, but it seems like we don't need another
rcu_is_watching call on kprobe_multi level

Good point! OK, then it seems we don't need it. The rethook continues to
use the rcu_is_watching() because it is also used from kprobes, but the
kprobe_multi doesn't need it.

Re:

Oops, I missed that. Thanks for pointing that out, which I thought is
conditional use of rcu_is_watching before.

One last point, I think we should double check on this
     "fentry does not filter with !rcu_is_watching"
as quoted from Yonghong and argue whether it needs
the same check for fentry as well.

I would suggest that we address rcu_is_watching issue for fentry
only if we do have a reproducible case to show something goes wrong...

rcu_is_watching() comment says;

 * if the current CPU is not in its idle loop or is in an interrupt or
 * NMI handler, return true.

Thus it returns *fault* if the current CPU is in the idle loop and not
any interrupt(including NMI) context. This means if any tracable function
is called from idle loop, it can be !rcu_is_watching(). I meant, this is
'context' based check, thus fentry can not filter out that some commonly
used functions is called from that context but it can be detected.

Thank you,

It really does return false (rather than faulting?) if the current CPU
is deep within the idle loop.

In addition, the recent x86/entry rework (thank you Peter and
Thomas!) mean that the "idle loop" is quite restricted, as can be
seen by the invocations of ct_cpuidle_enter() and ct_cpuidle_exit().
For example, in default_idle_call(), these are immediately before and
after the call to arch_cpu_idle().

Would the following help?  Or am I missing your point?

Thanks! I also found that the default_idle_call() is enough small and
it seems not happening on fentry because there are no commonly used
functions on that path.

Yes, thank you for the update!

Note that trace_test_and_set_recursion() (which is used by
ftrace_test_recursion_trylock()) checks for rcu_is_watching() and
returns false if it isn't (and the trylock will fail).

Re: kprobes and rcu_is_watching()

[Ze Gao]

Thanks Steven, I think we've come to a consensus on this.

The question here is whether bpf tracing fentry i.e.,
__bpf_prog_enter{_sleepable}
needs to check rcu_is_watching as well before using rcu related
calls. And Yonghong suggested making a change when there is
indeed some bad case occurring since it's rare the tracee is in the idle path.

I think this was discussed in here:
  https://lore.kernel.org/bpf/20230321020103.13494-1-laoar.shao@gmail.com/

and was considered a bug, there's fix mentioned later in the thread

there's also this recent patchset:
  https://lore.kernel.org/bpf/20230517034510.15639-3-zegao@tencent.com/

that solves related problems

right, we count fprobe->nmissed but it's not exposed, we should allow
to get 'missed' stats from both fprobe and kprobe_multi later, which
is missing now, will check

I think this rcu_is_watching() is a bit different issue. This rcu_is_watching()
check is required if the kprobe_multi_link_prog_run() uses any RCU API.
E.g. rethook_try_get() is also checks rcu_is_watching() because it uses
call_rcu().
