get_task_struct(tsk) no longer pins tsk->stack so all users of to_live_kthread() should do try_get_task_stack/put_task_stack to protect "struct kthread" which lives on kthread's stack. TODO: Kill to_live_kthread(), perhaps we can even kill "struct kthread" too, and rework kthread_stop(), it can use task_work_add() to sync with the exiting kernel thread.

There are a few places in the kernel that access stack memory belonging to a different task. Before we can start freeing task stacks before the task_struct is freed, we need a way for those code paths to pin the stack.

Joerg Roedel authored
The semaphore used by the AMD IOMMU to signal command completion lived on the stack until now, which was safe as the driver busy-waited on the semaphore with IRQs disabled, so the stack can't go away under the driver. But the recently introduced vmap-based stacks break this as the physical address of the semaphore can't be determinded easily anymore. The driver used the __pa() macro, but that only works in the direct-mapping. The result were Completion-Wait timeout errors seen by the IOMMU driver, breaking system boot. Since putting the semaphore on the stack is bad design anyway, move the semaphore into 'struct amd_iommu'. It is protected by the per-iommu lock and now in the direct mapping again. This fixes the Completion-Wait timeout errors and makes AMD IOMMU systems boot again with vmap-based stacks enabled.

If an arch opts in by setting CONFIG_THREAD_INFO_IN_TASK_STRUCT, then thread_info is defined as a single 'u32 flags' and is the first entry of task_struct. thread_info::task is removed (it serves no purpose if thread_info is embedded in task_struct), and thread_info::cpu gets its own slot in task_struct. This is heavily based on a patch written by Linus.

in_exception_stack() has some recursion checking which makes sure the stack trace code never traverses a given exception stack more than once. This prevents an infinite loop if corruption somehow causes a stack's "next stack" pointer to point to itself (directly or indirectly). The recursion checking can be useful for other stacks in addition to the exception stack, so extend it to work for all stacks.

Josh Poimboeuf authored
When an interrupt happens in entry code while running on a software IRQ stack, and the IRQ stack was empty, regs->sp will contain the stack end address (e.g., irq_stack_ptr). If the regs are passed to dump_trace(), get_stack_info() will report STACK_TYPE_UNKNOWN, causing dump_trace() to return prematurely without trying to go to the next stack. Update the bounds checking for software interrupt stacks so that the ending address is now considered part of the stack. This means that it's now possible for the 'walk_stack' callbacks -- print_context_stack() and print_context_stack_bp() -- to be called with an empty stack. But that's fine; they're already prepared to deal with that due to their on_stack() checks.

valid_stack_ptr() is buggy: it assumes that all stacks are of size THREAD_SIZE, which is not true for exception stacks. So the walk_stack() callbacks will need to know the location of the beginning of the stack as well as the end. Another issue is that in general the various features of a stack (type, size, next stack pointer, description string) are scattered around in various places throughout the stack dump code. Encapsulate all that information in a single place with a new stack_info struct and a get_stack_info() interface.

show_stack_log_lvl() and dump_trace() are already preemption safe: - If they're running in irq or exception context, preemption is already disabled and the percpu stack pointers can be trusted. - If they're running with preemption enabled, they must be running on the task stack anyway, so it doesn't matter if they're comparing the stack pointer against a percpu stack pointer from this CPU or another one: either way it won't match.

Commit 88e957d6 ("xen: introduce xen_vcpu_id mapping") broke SMP ARM guests on Xen. When FIFO-based event channels are in use (this is the default), evtchn_fifo_alloc_control_block() is called on CPU_UP_PREPARE event and this happens before we set up xen_vcpu_id mapping in xen_starting_cpu. Temporary fix the issue by setting direct Linux CPU id <-> Xen vCPU id mapping for all possible CPUs at boot. We don't currently support kexec/kdump on Xen/ARM so these ids always match. In future, we have several ways to solve the issue, e.g.: - Eliminate all hypercalls from CPU_UP_PREPARE, do them from the starting CPU. This can probably be done for both x86 and ARM and, if done, will allow us to get Xen's idea of vCPU id from CPUID/MPIDR on the starting CPU directly, no messing with ACPI/device tree required. - Save vCPU id information from ACPI/device tree on ARM and use it to initialize xen_vcpu_id mapping. This is the same trick we currently do on x86.
