Nested contexts, such as nested interrupts or scheduler code, share the same kcsan_ctx. When such a nested context reads an inconsistent reorder_access due to an interrupt during set_reorder_access(), we can observe the following warning: | ------------[ cut here ]------------ | Cannot find frame for torture_random kernel/torture.c:456 in stack trace | WARNING: CPU: 13 PID: 147 at kernel/kcsan/report.c:343 replace_stack_entry kernel/kcsan/report.c:343 | ... | Call Trace: | <TASK> | sanitize_stack_entries kernel/kcsan/report.c:351 [inline] | print_report kernel/kcsan/report.c:409 | kcsan_report_known_origin kernel/kcsan/report.c:693 | kcsan_setup_watchpoint kernel/kcsan/core.c:658 | rcutorture_one_extend kernel/rcu/rcutorture.c:1475 | rcutorture_loop_extend kernel/rcu/rcutorture.c:1558 [inline] | ... | </TASK> | ---[ end trace ee5299cb933115f5 ]--- | ================================================================== | BUG: KCSAN: data-race in _raw_spin_lock_irqsave / rcutorture_one_extend | | write (reordered) to 0xffffffff8c93b300 of 8 bytes by task 154 on cpu 12: | queued_spin_lock include/asm-generic/qspinlock.h:80 [inline] | do_raw_spin_lock include/linux/spinlock.h:185 [inline] | __raw_spin_lock_irqsave include/linux/spinlock_api_smp.h:111 [inline] | _raw_spin_lock_irqsave kernel/locking/spinlock.c:162 | try_to_wake_up kernel/sched/core.c:4003 | sysvec_apic_timer_interrupt arch/x86/kernel/apic/apic.c:1097 | asm_sysvec_apic_timer_interrupt arch/x86/include/asm/idtentry.h:638 | set_reorder_access kernel/kcsan/core.c:416 [inline] <-- inconsistent reorder_access | kcsan_setup_watchpoint kernel/kcsan/core.c:693 | rcutorture_one_extend kernel/rcu/rcutorture.c:1475 | rcutorture_loop_extend kernel/rcu/rcutorture.c:1558 [inline] | rcu_torture_one_read kernel/rcu/rcutorture.c:1600 | rcu_torture_reader kernel/rcu/rcutorture.c:1692 | kthread kernel/kthread.c:327 | ret_from_fork arch/x86/entry/entry_64.S:295 | | read to 0xffffffff8c93b300 of 8 bytes by task 147 on cpu 13: | rcutorture_one_extend kernel/rcu/rcutorture.c:1475 | rcutorture_loop_extend kernel/rcu/rcutorture.c:1558 [inline] | ... The warning is telling us that there was a data race which KCSAN wants to report, but the function where the original access (that is now reordered) happened cannot be found in the stack trace, which prevents KCSAN from generating the right stack trace. The stack trace of "write (reordered)" now only shows where the access was reordered to, but should instead show the stack trace of the original write, with a final line saying "reordered to". At the point where set_reorder_access() is interrupted, it just set reorder_access->ptr and size, at which point size is non-zero. This is sufficient (if ctx->disable_scoped is zero) for further accesses from nested contexts to perform checking of this reorder_access. That then happened in _raw_spin_lock_irqsave(), which is called by scheduler code. However, since reorder_access->ip is still stale (ptr and size belong to a different ip not yet set) this finally leads to replace_stack_entry() not finding the frame in reorder_access->ip and generating the above warning. Fix it by ensuring that a nested context cannot access reorder_access while we update it in set_reorder_access(): set ctx->disable_scoped for the duration that reorder_access is updated, which effectively locks reorder_access and prevents concurrent use by nested contexts. Note, set_reorder_access() can do the update only if disabled_scoped is zero on entry, and must therefore set disable_scoped back to non-zero after the initial check in set_reorder_access().

Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
