Subject: [PATCH AUTOSEL 6.13 20/28] um: work around sched_yield not yielding in time-travel mode
Date: Mon, 7 Apr 2025 14:12:10 -0400 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20250407181224.3180941-20-sashal@kernel.org> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20250407181224.3180941-1-sashal@kernel.org>
From: Benjamin Berg <benjamin.berg@intel.com>
[ Upstream commit 887c5c12e80c8424bd471122d2e8b6b462e12874 ]
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.
