ACPI: EC: Fix regression related to wrong ECDT initialization order
Commit 2a5708409e4e (ACPI / EC: Fix a gap that ECDT EC cannot handle EC events) introduced acpi_ec_ecdt_start(), but that function is invoked before acpi_ec_query_init(), which is too early. This causes the kernel to crash if an EC event occurs after boot, when ec_query_wq is not valid: BUG: unable to handle kernel NULL pointer dereference at 0000000000000102 ... Workqueue: events acpi_ec_event_handler task: ffff9f539790dac0 task.stack: ffffb437c0e10000 RIP: 0010:__queue_work+0x32/0x430 Normally, the DSDT EC should always be valid, so acpi_ec_ecdt_start() is actually a no-op in the majority of cases. However, commit c712bb58d827 (ACPI / EC: Add support to skip boot stage DSDT probe) caused the probing of the DSDT EC as the "boot EC" to be skipped when the ECDT EC is valid and uncovered the bug. Fix this issue by invoking acpi_ec_ecdt_start() after acpi_ec_query_init() in acpi_ec_init().

And the array of values not only causes source code oddities (with loops to deal with it), but also results in worse code generation. It's a lose-lose situation. So just change the 'u32[2]' into a 'u64' and be done with it. We still have to deal with the fact that the user space interface is designed around an array of these 32-bit values, but that was the case before too, since the array layouts were different (ie user space doesn't use an array of 32-bit values for individual capability masks, but an array of 32-bit slices of multiple masks). So that marshalling of data is actually simplified too, even if it does remain somewhat obscure and odd. This was all triggered by my reaction to the new "cap_isidentical()" introduced recently. By just using a saner data structure, it went from unsigned __capi; CAP_FOR_EACH_U32(__capi) { if (a.cap[__capi] != b.cap[__capi]) return false; } return true; to just being return a.val == b.val; instead. Which is rather more obvious both to humans and to compilers.

By replacing PF_FROZEN with TASK_FROZEN, a special block state, it is ensured frozen tasks stay frozen until thawed and don't randomly wake up early, as is currently possible. As such, it does away with PF_FROZEN and PF_FREEZER_SKIP, freeing up two PF_flags (yay!). Specifically; the current scheme works a little like: freezer_do_not_count(); schedule(); freezer_count(); And either the task is blocked, or it lands in try_to_freezer() through freezer_count(). Now, when it is blocked, the freezer considers it frozen and continues. However, on thawing, once pm_freezing is cleared, freezer_count() stops working, and any random/spurious wakeup will let a task run before its time. That is, thawing tries to thaw things in explicit order; kernel threads and workqueues before doing bringing SMP back before userspace etc.. However due to the above mentioned races it is entirely possible for userspace tasks to thaw (by accident) before SMP is back. This can be a fatal problem in asymmetric ISA architectures (eg ARMv9) where the userspace task requires a special CPU to run. As said; replace this with a special task state TASK_FROZEN and add the following state transitions: TASK_FREEZABLE -> TASK_FROZEN __TASK_STOPPED -> TASK_FROZEN __TASK_TRACED -> TASK_FROZEN The new TASK_FREEZABLE can be set on any state part of TASK_NORMAL (IOW. TASK_INTERRUPTIBLE and TASK_UNINTERRUPTIBLE) -- any such state is already required to deal with spurious wakeups and the freezer causes one such when thawing the task (since the original state is lost). The special __TASK_{STOPPED,TRACED} states *can* be restored since their canonical state is in ->jobctl. With this, frozen tasks need an explicit TASK_FROZEN wakeup and are free of undue (early / spurious) wakeups.

Biederman If kthread_is_per_cpu runs concurrently with free_kthread_struct the kthread_struct that was just freed may be read from. This bug was introduced by commit 40966e316f86 ("kthread: Ensure struct kthread is present for all kthreads"). When kthread_struct started to be allocated for all tasks that have PF_KTHREAD set. This in turn required the kthread_struct to be freed in kernel_execve and violated the assumption that kthread_struct will have the same lifetime as the task. Looking a bit deeper this only applies to callers of kernel_execve which is just the init process and the user mode helper processes. These processes really don't want to be kernel threads but are for historical reasons. Mostly that copy_thread does not know how to take a kernel mode function to the process with for processes without PF_KTHREAD or PF_IO_WORKER set. Solve this by not allocating kthread_struct for the init process and the user mode helper processes. This is done by adding a kthread member to struct kernel_clone_args. Setting kthread in fork_idle and kernel_thread. Adding user_mode_thread that works like kernel_thread except it does not set kthread. In fork only allocating the kthread_struct if .kthread is set. I have looked at kernel/kthread.c and since commit 40966e316f86 ("kthread: Ensure struct kthread is present for all kthreads") there have been no assumptions added that to_kthread or __to_kthread will not return NULL. There are a few callers of to_kthread or __to_kthread that assume a non-NULL struct kthread pointer will be returned. These functions are kthread_data(), kthread_parmme(), kthread_exit(), kthread(), kthread_park(), kthread_unpark(), kthread_stop(). All of those functions can reasonably expected to be called when it is know that a task is a kthread so that assumption seems reasonable.

These two patches are independent, but better-together. The second is a rather trivial patch that simply allows the developer to change "/sbin/modprobe" to something else - e.g. the empty string, so that all request_module() during early boot return -ENOENT early, without even spawning a usermode helper, needlessly synchronizing with the initramfs unpacking. The first patch delegates decompressing the initramfs to a worker thread, allowing do_initcalls() in main.c to proceed to the device_ and late_ initcalls without waiting for that decompression (and populating of rootfs) to finish. Obviously, some of those later calls may rely on the initramfs being available, so I've added synchronization points in the firmware loader and usermodehelper paths - there might be other places that would need this, but so far no one has been able to think of any places I have missed. There's not much to win if most of the functionality needed during boot is only available as modules. But systems with a custom-made .config and initramfs can boot faster, partly due to utilizing more than one cpu earlier, partly by avoiding known-futile modprobe calls (which would still trigger synchronization with the initramfs unpacking, thus eliminating most of the first benefit). This patch (of 2): Most of the boot process doesn't actually need anything from the initramfs, until of course PID1 is to be executed. So instead of doing the decompressing and populating of the initramfs synchronously in populate_rootfs() itself, push that off to a worker thread. This is primarily motivated by an embedded ppc target, where unpacking even the rather modest sized initramfs takes 0.6 seconds, which is long enough that the external watchdog becomes unhappy that it doesn't get attention soon enough. By doing the initramfs decompression in a worker thread, we get to do the device_initcalls and hence start petting the watchdog much sooner. Normal desktops might benefit as well. On my mostly stock Ubuntu kernel, my initramfs is a 26M xz-compressed blob, decompressing to around 126M. That takes almost two seconds: [ 0.201454] Trying to unpack rootfs image as initramfs... [ 1.976633] Freeing initrd memory: 29416K Before this patch, these lines occur consecutively in dmesg. With this patch, the timestamps on these two lines is roughly the same as above, but with 172 lines inbetween - so more than one cpu has been kept busy doing work that would otherwise only happen after the populate_rootfs() finished. Should one of the initcalls done after rootfs_initcall time (i.e., device_ and late_ initcalls) need something from the initramfs (say, a kernel module or a firmware blob), it will simply wait for the initramfs unpacking to be done before proceeding, which should in theory make this completely safe. But if some driver pokes around in the filesystem directly and not via one of the official kernel interfaces (i.e. request_firmware*(), call_usermodehelper*) that theory may not hold - also, I certainly might have missed a spot when sprinkling wait_for_initramfs(). So there is an escape hatch in the form of an initramfs_async= command line parameter.

It is admittedly a bit odd, but it avoids the situation where 'init' does some extensive setup to initialize the system environment, and then we execute a usermode helper program, and it uses the original FS setup from boot time that may be very limited and incomplete. [ Both Al Viro and Eric Biederman point out that 'pivot_root()' will follow the root regardless, since it fixes up other users of root (see chroot_fs_refs() for details), but overmounting root and doing a chroot() would not. ] However, Vegard Nossum noticed that the CLONE_FS not only means that we follow the root and current working directories, it also means we share umask with whatever init changed it to. That wasn't intentional. Just reset umask to the original default (0022) before actually starting the usermode helper program.

When this is done, and crashdump is triggered, it will crash on null pointer dereference, since we make assumptions over what call_usermodehelper_exec() did. This has been reported by Sergey when one triggers a a coredump with the following configuration: ``` CONFIG_STATIC_USERMODEHELPER=y CONFIG_STATIC_USERMODEHELPER_PATH="" kernel.core_pattern = |/usr/lib/systemd/systemd-coredump %P %u %g %s %t %c %h %e ``` The way disabling the umh was designed was that call_usermodehelper_exec() would just return early, without an error. But coredump assumes certain variables are set up for us when this happens, and calls ile_start_write(cprm.file) with a NULL file.

This also means that the strings are always NUL-terminated by the common code, making the API a little bit safer. As most handler just pass through the data to one of the common handlers a lot of the changes are mechnical.
