From: Benjamin Berg <benjamin.b...@intel.com> sched_yield by a userspace may not actually cause scheduling in time-travel mode as no time has passed. In the case seen it appears to be a badly implemented userspace spinlock in ASAN. Unfortunately, with time-travel it causes an extreme slowdown or even deadlock depending on the kernel configuration (CONFIG_UML_MAX_USERSPACE_ITERATIONS).
Work around it by accounting time to the process whenever it executes a sched_yield syscall. Signed-off-by: Benjamin Berg <benjamin.b...@intel.com> --- I suspect it is this code in ASAN that uses sched_yield https://github.com/llvm/llvm-project/blob/main/compiler-rt/lib/sanitizer_common/sanitizer_mutex.cpp though there are also some other places that use sched_yield. I doubt that code is reasonable. At the same time, not sure that sched_yield is behaving as advertised either as it obviously is not necessarily relinquishing the CPU. --- arch/um/include/linux/time-internal.h | 2 ++ arch/um/kernel/skas/syscall.c | 11 +++++++++++ 2 files changed, 13 insertions(+) diff --git a/arch/um/include/linux/time-internal.h b/arch/um/include/linux/time-internal.h index b22226634ff6..138908b999d7 100644 --- a/arch/um/include/linux/time-internal.h +++ b/arch/um/include/linux/time-internal.h @@ -83,6 +83,8 @@ extern void time_travel_not_configured(void); #define time_travel_del_event(...) time_travel_not_configured() #endif /* CONFIG_UML_TIME_TRAVEL_SUPPORT */ +extern unsigned long tt_extra_sched_jiffies; + /* * Without CONFIG_UML_TIME_TRAVEL_SUPPORT this is a linker error if used, * which is intentional since we really shouldn't link it in that case. diff --git a/arch/um/kernel/skas/syscall.c b/arch/um/kernel/skas/syscall.c index b09e85279d2b..a5beaea2967e 100644 --- a/arch/um/kernel/skas/syscall.c +++ b/arch/um/kernel/skas/syscall.c @@ -31,6 +31,17 @@ void handle_syscall(struct uml_pt_regs *r) goto out; syscall = UPT_SYSCALL_NR(r); + + /* + * If no time passes, then sched_yield may not actually yield, causing + * broken spinlock implementations in userspace (ASAN) to hang for long + * periods of time. + */ + if ((time_travel_mode == TT_MODE_INFCPU || + time_travel_mode == TT_MODE_EXTERNAL) && + syscall == __NR_sched_yield) + tt_extra_sched_jiffies += 1; + if (syscall >= 0 && syscall < __NR_syscalls) { unsigned long ret = EXECUTE_SYSCALL(syscall, regs); -- 2.48.1
