Hou Tao 73b97bc78b selftests/bpf: Test concurrent updates on bpf_task_storage_busy
Under full preemptible kernel, task local storage lookup operations on
the same CPU may update per-cpu bpf_task_storage_busy concurrently. If
the update of bpf_task_storage_busy is not preemption safe, the final
value of bpf_task_storage_busy may become not-zero forever and
bpf_task_storage_trylock() will always fail. So add a test case to
ensure the update of bpf_task_storage_busy is preemption safe.

Will skip the test case when CONFIG_PREEMPT is disabled, and it can only
reproduce the problem probabilistically. By increasing
TASK_STORAGE_MAP_NR_LOOP and running it under ARM64 VM with 4-cpus, it
takes about four rounds to reproduce:

> test_maps is modified to only run test_task_storage_map_stress_lookup()
$ export TASK_STORAGE_MAP_NR_THREAD=256
$ export TASK_STORAGE_MAP_NR_LOOP=81920
$ export TASK_STORAGE_MAP_PIN_CPU=1
$ time ./test_maps
test_task_storage_map_stress_lookup(135):FAIL:bad bpf_task_storage_busy got -2

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.
