2015-03-17livepatch: Fix subtle race with coming and going modulesPetr Mladek
There is a notifier that handles live patches for coming and going modules. It takes klp_mutex lock to avoid races with coming and going patches but it does not keep the lock all the time. Therefore the following races are possible: 1. The notifier is called sometime in STATE_MODULE_COMING. The module is visible by find_module() in this state all the time. It means that new patch can be registered and enabled even before the notifier is called. It might create wrong order of stacked patches, see below for an example. 2. New patch could still see the module in the GOING state even after the notifier has been called. It will try to initialize the related object structures but the module could disappear at any time. There will stay mess in the structures. It might even cause an invalid memory access. This patch solves the problem by adding a boolean variable into struct module. The value is true after the coming and before the going handler is called. New patches need to be applied when the value is true and they need to ignore the module when the value is false. Note that we need to know state of all modules on the system. The races are related to new patches. Therefore we do not know what modules will get patched. Also note that we could not simply ignore going modules. The code from the module could be called even in the GOING state until mod->exit() finishes. If we start supporting patches with semantic changes between function calls, we need to apply new patches to any still usable code. See below for an example. Finally note that the patch solves only the situation when a new patch is registered. There are no such problems when the patch is being removed. It does not matter who disable the patch first, whether the normal disable_patch() or the module notifier. There is nothing to do once the patch is disabled. Alternative solutions: ====================== + reject new patches when a patched module is coming or going; this is ugly + wait with adding new patch until the module leaves the COMING and GOING states; this might be dangerous and complicated; we would need to release kgr_lock in the middle of the patch registration to avoid a deadlock with the coming and going handlers; also we might need a waitqueue for each module which seems to be even bigger overhead than the boolean + stop modules from entering COMING and GOING states; wait until modules leave these states when they are already there; looks complicated; we would need to ignore the module that asked to stop the others to avoid a deadlock; also it is unclear what to do when two modules asked to stop others and both are in COMING state (situation when two new patches are applied) + always register/enable new patches and fix up the potential mess (registered patches order) in klp_module_init(); this is nasty and prone to regressions in the future development + add another MODULE_STATE where the kallsyms are visible but the module is not used yet; this looks too complex; the module states are checked on "many" locations Example of patch stacking breakage: =================================== The notifier could _not_ _simply_ ignore already initialized module objects. For example, let's have three patches (P1, P2, P3) for functions a() and b() where a() is from vmcore and b() is from a module M. Something like: a() b() P1 a1() b1() P2 a2() b2() P3 a3() b3(3) If you load the module M after all patches are registered and enabled. The ftrace ops for function a() and b() has listed the functions in this order: ops_a->func_stack -> list(a3,a2,a1) ops_b->func_stack -> list(b3,b2,b1) , so the pointer to b3() is the first and will be used. Then you might have the following scenario. Let's start with state when patches P1 and P2 are registered and enabled but the module M is not loaded. Then ftrace ops for b() does not exist. Then we get into the following race: CPU0 CPU1 load_module(M) complete_formation() mod->state = MODULE_STATE_COMING; mutex_unlock(&module_mutex); klp_register_patch(P3); klp_enable_patch(P3); # STATE 1 klp_module_notify(M) klp_module_notify_coming(P1); klp_module_notify_coming(P2); klp_module_notify_coming(P3); # STATE 2 The ftrace ops for a() and b() then looks: STATE1: ops_a->func_stack -> list(a3,a2,a1); ops_b->func_stack -> list(b3); STATE2: ops_a->func_stack -> list(a3,a2,a1); ops_b->func_stack -> list(b2,b1,b3); therefore, b2() is used for the module but a3() is used for vmcore because they were the last added. Example of the race with going modules: ======================================= CPU0 CPU1 delete_module() #SYSCALL try_stop_module() mod->state = MODULE_STATE_GOING; mutex_unlock(&module_mutex); klp_register_patch() klp_enable_patch() #save place to switch universe b() # from module that is going a() # from core (patched) mod->exit(); Note that the function b() can be called until we call mod->exit(). If we do not apply patch against b() because it is in MODULE_STATE_GOING, it will call patched a() with modified semantic and things might get wrong.

2015-03-16Merge branch 'nohz/guest' of ↵Ingo Molnar
git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/frederic/linux-dynticks into timers/nohz Pull full dynticks support for virt guests from Frederic Weisbecker: "Some measurements showed that disabling the tick on the host while the guest is running can be interesting on some workloads. Indeed the host tick is irrelevant while a vcpu runs, it consumes CPU time and cache footprint for no good reasons. Full dynticks already works in every context, but RCU prevents it to be effective outside userspace, because the CPU needs to take part of RCU grace period completion as long as RCU may be used on it, which is the case in kernel context. However guest is similar to userspace and idle in that we know RCU is unused on such context. Therefore a CPU in guest/userspace/idle context can let other CPUs report its own RCU quiescent state on its behalf and shut down the tick safely, provided it isn't needed for other reasons than RCU. This is called RCU extended quiescent state. This was already implemented for idle and userspace. This patchset now brings it for guest contexts through the following steps: - Generalize the context tracking APIs to also track guest state - Rename/sanitize a few CPP symbols accordingly - Report guest entry/exit to RCU and define this context area as an RCU extended quiescent state."

2015-03-15ebpf: add helper for obtaining current processor idDaniel Borkmann
This patch adds the possibility to obtain raw_smp_processor_id() in eBPF. Currently, this is only possible in classic BPF where commit da2033c28226 ("filter: add SKF_AD_RXHASH and SKF_AD_CPU") has added facilities for this. Perhaps most importantly, this would also allow us to track per CPU statistics with eBPF maps, or to implement a poor-man's per CPU data structure through eBPF maps.

2015-03-13clocksource: Improve clocksource watchdog reportingJohn Stultz
The clocksource watchdog reporting has been less helpful then desired, as it just printed the delta between the two clocksources. This prevents any useful analysis of why the skew occurred. Thus this patch tries to improve the output when we mark a clocksource as unstable, printing out the cycle last and now values for both the current clocksource and the watchdog clocksource. This will allow us to see if the result was due to a false positive caused by a problematic watchdog.

2015-03-13timekeeping: Add warnings when overflows or underflows are observedJohn Stultz
It was suggested that the underflow/overflow protection should probably throw some sort of warning out, rather than just silently fixing the issue. So this patch adds some warnings here. The flag variables used are not protected by locks, but since we can't print from the reading functions, just being able to say we saw an issue in the update interval is useful enough, and can be slightly racy without real consequence. The big complication is that we're only under a read seqlock, so the data could shift under us during our calculation to see if there was a problem. This patch avoids this issue by nesting another seqlock which allows us to snapshot the just required values atomically. So we shouldn't see false positives. I also added some basic rate-limiting here, since on one build machine w/ skewed TSCs it was fairly noisy at bootup.

2015-03-13timekeeping: Try to catch clocksource delta underflowsJohn Stultz
In the case where there is a broken clocksource where there are multiple actual clocks that aren't perfectly aligned, we may see small "negative" deltas when we subtract 'now' from 'cycle_last'. The values are actually negative with respect to the clocksource mask value, not necessarily negative if cast to a s64, but we can check by checking the delta to see if it is a small (relative to the mask) negative value (again negative relative to the mask). If so, we assume we jumped backwards somehow and instead use zero for our delta.

2015-03-13timekeeping: Add checks to cap clocksource reads to the 'max_cycles' valueJohn Stultz
When calculating the current delta since the last tick, we currently have no hard protections to prevent a multiplication overflow from occuring. This patch introduces infrastructure to allow a cap that limits the clocksource read delta value to the 'max_cycles' value, which is where an overflow would occur. Since this is in the hotpath, it adds the extra checking under CONFIG_DEBUG_TIMEKEEPING=y. There was some concern that capping time like this could cause problems as we may stop expiring timers, which could go circular if the timer that triggers time accumulation were mis-scheduled too far in the future, which would cause time to stop. However, since the mult overflow would result in a smaller time value, we would effectively have the same problem there.

2015-03-13timekeeping: Add debugging checks to warn if we see delaysJohn Stultz
Recently there's been requests for better sanity checking in the time code, so that it's more clear when something is going wrong, since timekeeping issues could manifest in a large number of strange ways in various subsystems. Thus, this patch adds some extra infrastructure to add a check to update_wall_time() to print two new warnings: 1) if we see the call delayed beyond the 'max_cycles' overflow point, 2) or if we see the call delayed beyond the clocksource's 'max_idle_ns' value, which is currently 50% of the overflow point. This extra infrastructure is conditional on a new CONFIG_DEBUG_TIMEKEEPING option, also added in this patch - default off. Tested this a bit by halting qemu for specified lengths of time to trigger the warnings.

2015-03-12kasan, module, vmalloc: rework shadow allocation for modulesAndrey Ryabinin
Current approach in handling shadow memory for modules is broken. Shadow memory could be freed only after memory shadow corresponds it is no longer used. vfree() called from interrupt context could use memory its freeing to store 'struct llist_node' in it: void vfree(const void *addr) { ... if (unlikely(in_interrupt())) { struct vfree_deferred *p = this_cpu_ptr(&vfree_deferred); if (llist_add((struct llist_node *)addr, &p->list)) schedule_work(&p->wq); Later this list node used in free_work() which actually frees memory. Currently module_memfree() called in interrupt context will free shadow before freeing module's memory which could provoke kernel crash. So shadow memory should be freed after module's memory. However, such deallocation order could race with kasan_module_alloc() in module_alloc(). Free shadow right before releasing vm area. At this point vfree()'d memory is not used anymore and yet not available for other allocations. New VM_KASAN flag used to indicate that vm area has dynamically allocated shadow memory so kasan frees shadow only if it was previously allocated.

This commit informs RCU of an outgoing CPU just before that CPU invokes arch_cpu_idle_dead() during its last pass through the idle loop (via a new CPU_DYING_IDLE notifier value). This change means that RCU need not deal with outgoing CPUs passing through the scheduler after informing RCU that they are no longer online. Note that removing the CPU from the rcu_node ->qsmaskinit bit masks is done at CPU_DYING_IDLE time, and orphaning callbacks is still done at CPU_DEAD time, the reason being that at CPU_DEAD time we have another CPU that can adopt them.

2015-03-12rcu: Process offlining and onlining only at grace-period startPaul E. McKenney
Races between CPU hotplug and grace periods can be difficult to resolve, so the ->onoff_mutex is used to exclude the two events. Unfortunately, this means that it is impossible for an outgoing CPU to perform the last bits of its offlining from its last pass through the idle loop, because sleeplocks cannot be acquired in that context. This commit avoids these problems by buffering online and offline events in a new ->qsmaskinitnext field in the leaf rcu_node structures. When a grace period starts, the events accumulated in this mask are applied to the ->qsmaskinit field, and, if needed, up the rcu_node tree. The special case of all CPUs corresponding to a given leaf rcu_node structure being offline while there are still elements in that structure's ->blkd_tasks list is handled using a new ->wait_blkd_tasks field. In this case, propagating the offline bits up the tree is deferred until the beginning of the grace period after all of the tasks have exited their RCU read-side critical sections and removed themselves from the list, at which point the ->wait_blkd_tasks flag is cleared. If one of that leaf rcu_node structure's CPUs comes back online before the list empties, then the ->wait_blkd_tasks flag is simply cleared. This of course means that RCU's notion of which CPUs are offline can be out of date. This is OK because RCU need only wait on CPUs that were online at the time that the grace period started. In addition, RCU's force-quiescent-state actions will handle the case where a CPU goes offline after the grace period starts. Signed-off-by: Paul E. McKenney <paulmck@linux.vnet.ibm.com>
2015-03-12rcu: Move rcu_report_unblock_qs_rnp() to common codePaul E. McKenney
The rcu_report_unblock_qs_rnp() function is invoked when the last task blocking the current grace period exits its outermost RCU read-side critical section. Previously, this was called only from rcu_read_unlock_special(), and was therefore defined only when CONFIG_RCU_PREEMPT=y. However, this function will be invoked even when CONFIG_RCU_PREEMPT=n once CPU-hotplug operations are processed only at the beginnings of RCU grace periods. The reason for this change is that the last task on a given leaf rcu_node structure's ->blkd_tasks list might well exit its RCU read-side critical section between the time that recent CPU-hotplug operations were applied and when the new grace period was initialized. This situation could result in RCU waiting forever on that leaf rcu_node structure, because if all that structure's CPUs were already offline, there would be no quiescent-state events to drive that structure's part of the grace period. This commit therefore moves rcu_report_unblock_qs_rnp() to common code that is built unconditionally so that the quiescent-state-forcing code can clean up after this situation, avoiding the grace-period stall.

This commit therefore instead sets up these bitmasks based on the state of the ->blkd_tasks lists. Signed-off-by: Paul E. McKenney <paulmck@linux.vnet.ibm.com>
2015-03-12ebpf: verifier: check that call reg with ARG_ANYTHING is initializedDaniel Borkmann
I noticed that a helper function with argument type ARG_ANYTHING does not need to have an initialized value (register). This can worst case lead to unintented stack memory leakage in future helper functions if they are not carefully designed, or unintended application behaviour in case the application developer was not careful enough to match a correct helper function signature in the API. The underlying issue is that ARG_ANYTHING should actually be split into two different semantics: 1) ARG_DONTCARE for function arguments that the helper function does not care about (in other words: the default for unused function arguments), and 2) ARG_ANYTHING that is an argument actually being used by a helper function and *guaranteed* to be an initialized register. The current risk is low: ARG_ANYTHING is only used for the 'flags' argument (r4) in bpf_map_update_elem() that internally does strict checking.

2015-03-12clocksource: Simplify the logic around clocksource wrapping safety marginsJohn Stultz
The clocksource logic has a number of places where we try to include a safety margin. Most of these are 12% safety margins, but they are inconsistently applied and sometimes are applied on top of each other. Additionally, in the previous patch, we corrected an issue where we unintentionally in effect created a 50% safety margin, which these 12.5% margins where then added to. So to simplify the logic here, this patch removes the various 12.5% margins, and consolidates adding the margin in one place: clocks_calc_max_nsecs(). Additionally, Linus prefers a 50% safety margin, as it allows bad clock values to be more easily caught. This should really have no net effect, due to the corrected issue earlier which caused greater then 50% margins to be used w/o issue.

2015-03-12clocksource: Simplify the clocks_calc_max_nsecs() logicJohn Stultz
The previous clocks_calc_max_nsecs() code had some unecessarily complex bit logic to find the max interval that could cause multiplication overflows. Since this is not in the hot path, just do the divide to make it easier to read. The previous implementation also had a subtle issue that it avoided overflows with signed 64-bit values, where as the intervals are always unsigned. This resulted in overly conservative intervals, which other safety margins were then added to, reducing the intended interval length.

This commit therefore allows grace-period initialization to be artificially slowed down, increasing race-reproduction probability. A pair of new Kconfig parameters are provided, CONFIG_RCU_TORTURE_TEST_SLOW_INIT to enable the slowdowns, and CONFIG_RCU_TORTURE_TEST_SLOW_INIT_DELAY to specify the number of jiffies of slowdown to apply. A boot-time parameter named rcutree.gp_init_delay allows boot-time delay to be specified. By default, no delay will be applied even if CONFIG_RCU_TORTURE_TEST_SLOW_INIT is set. Signed-off-by: Paul E.

Currently, both rcu_cleanup_dead_cpu() and rcu_send_cbs_to_orphanage() initialize the outgoing CPU's callback list.

2015-03-11smpboot: Add common code for notification from dying CPUPaul E. McKenney
RCU ignores offlined CPUs, so they cannot safely run RCU read-side code. (They -can- use SRCU, but not RCU.) This means that any use of RCU during or after the call to arch_cpu_idle_dead(). Unfortunately, commit 2ed53c0d6cc99 added a complete() call, which will contain RCU read-side critical sections if there is a task waiting to be awakened. Which, as it turns out, there almost never is. In my qemu/KVM testing, the to-be-awakened task is not yet asleep more than 99.5% of the time. In current mainline, failure is even harder to reproduce, requiring a virtualized environment that delays the outgoing CPU by at least three jiffies between the time it exits its stop_machine() task at CPU_DYING time and the time it calls arch_cpu_idle_dead() from the idle loop. However, this problem really can occur, especially in virtualized environments, and therefore really does need to be fixed This suggests moving back to the polling loop, but using a much shorter wait, with gentle exponential backoff instead of the old 100-millisecond wait. Most of the time, the loop will exit without waiting at all, and almost all of the remaining uses will wait only five microseconds. If the outgoing CPU is preempted, a loop will wait one jiffy, then increase the wait by a factor of 11/10ths, rounding up. As before, there is a five-second timeout. This commit therefore provides common-code infrastructure to do the dying-to-surviving CPU handoff in a safe manner. This code also provides an indication at CPU-online of whether the CPU to be onlined previously timed out on offline. The new cpu_check_up_prepare() function returns -EBUSY if this CPU previously took more than five seconds to go offline, or -EAGAIN if it has not yet managed to go offline. The rationale for -EAGAIN is that it might still be preempted, so an additional wait might well find it correctly offlined. Architecture-specific code can decide how to handle these conditions. Systems in which CPUs take themselves completely offline might respond to an -EBUSY return as if it was a zero (success) return. Systems in which the surviving CPU must take some action might take it at this time, or might simply mark the other CPU as unusable. Note that architectures that take the easy way out and simply pass the -EBUSY and -EAGAIN upwards will change the sysfs API. Signed-off-by: Paul E.

2015-03-09ftrace: Fix ftrace enable ordering of sysctl ftrace_enabledSteven Rostedt (Red Hat)
Some archs (specifically PowerPC), are sensitive with the ordering of the enabling of the calls to function tracing and setting of the function to use to be traced. That is, update_ftrace_function() sets what function the ftrace_caller trampoline should call. Some archs require this to be set before calling ftrace_run_update_code(). Another bug was discovered, that ftrace_startup_sysctl() called ftrace_run_update_code() directly. If the function the ftrace_caller trampoline changes, then it will not be updated. Instead a call to ftrace_startup_enable() should be called because it tests to see if the callback changed since the code was disabled, and will tell the arch to update appropriately. Most archs do not need this notification, but PowerPC does. The problem could be seen by the following commands: # echo 0 > /proc/sys/kernel/ftrace_enabled # echo function > /sys/kernel/debug/tracing/current_tracer # echo 1 > /proc/sys/kernel/ftrace_enabled # cat /sys/kernel/debug/tracing/trace The trace will show that function tracing was not active.

2015-03-09ftrace: Fix en(dis)able graph caller when en(dis)abling record via sysctlPratyush Anand
When ftrace is enabled globally through the proc interface, we must check if ftrace_graph_active is set. If it is set, then we should also pass the FTRACE_START_FUNC_RET command to ftrace_run_update_code(). Similarly, when ftrace is disabled globally through the proc interface, we must check if ftrace_graph_active is set. If it is set, then we should also pass the FTRACE_STOP_FUNC_RET command to ftrace_run_update_code(). Consider the following situation. # echo 0 > /proc/sys/kernel/ftrace_enabled After this ftrace_enabled = 0. # echo function_graph > /sys/kernel/debug/tracing/current_tracer Since ftrace_enabled = 0, ftrace_enable_ftrace_graph_caller() is never called. # echo 1 > /proc/sys/kernel/ftrace_enabled Now ftrace_enabled will be set to true, but still ftrace_enable_ftrace_graph_caller() will not be called, which is not desired. Further if we execute the following after this: # echo nop > /sys/kernel/debug/tracing/current_tracer Now since ftrace_enabled is set it will call ftrace_disable_ftrace_graph_caller(), which causes a kernel warning on the ARM platform. On the ARM platform, when ftrace_enable_ftrace_graph_caller() is called, it checks whether the old instruction is a nop or not. If it's not a nop, then it returns an error. If it is a nop then it replaces instruction at that address with a branch to ftrace_graph_caller. ftrace_disable_ftrace_graph_caller() behaves just the opposite. Therefore, if generic ftrace code ever calls either ftrace_enable_ftrace_graph_caller() or ftrace_disable_ftrace_graph_caller() consecutively two times in a row, then it will return an error, which will cause the generic ftrace code to raise a warning. Note, x86 does not have an issue with this because the architecture specific code for ftrace_enable_ftrace_graph_caller() and ftrace_disable_ftrace_graph_caller() does not check the previous state, and calling either of these functions twice in a row has no ill effect.

2015-03-09ftrace: Clear REGS_EN and TRAMP_EN flags on disabling record via sysctlSteven Rostedt (Red Hat)
When /proc/sys/kernel/ftrace_enabled is set to zero, all function tracing is disabled. But the records that represent the functions still hold information about the ftrace_ops that are hooked to them. ftrace_ops may request "REGS" (have a full set of pt_regs passed to the callback), or "TRAMP" (the ops has its own trampoline to use). When the record is updated to represent the state of the ops hooked to it, it sets "REGS_EN" and/or "TRAMP_EN" to state that the callback points to the correct trampoline (REGS has its own trampoline). When ftrace_enabled is set to zero, all ftrace locations are a nop, so they do not point to any trampoline. But the _EN flags are still set. This can cause the accounting to go wrong when ftrace_enabled is cleared and an ops that has a trampoline is registered or unregistered. For example, the following will cause ftrace to crash: # echo function_graph > /sys/kernel/debug/tracing/current_tracer # echo 0 > /proc/sys/kernel/ftrace_enabled # echo nop > /sys/kernel/debug/tracing/current_tracer # echo 1 > /proc/sys/kernel/ftrace_enabled # echo function_graph > /sys/kernel/debug/tracing/current_tracer As function_graph uses a trampoline, when ftrace_enabled is set to zero the updates to the record are not done. When enabling function_graph again, the record will still have the TRAMP_EN flag set, and it will look for an op that has a trampoline other than the function_graph ops, and fail to find one.

Current context tracking symbols are designed to express living state. As such they are prefixed with "IN_": IN_USER, IN_KERNEL. Now we are going to use these symbols to also express state transitions such as context_tracking_enter(IN_USER) or context_tracking_exit(IN_USER). But while the "IN_" prefix works well to express entering a context, it's confusing to depict a context exit: context_tracking_exit(IN_USER) could mean two things: 1) We are exiting the current context to enter user context. 2) We are exiting the user context We want 2) but the reviewer may be confused and understand 1) So lets disambiguate these symbols and rename them to CONTEXT_USER and CONTEXT_KERNEL.

2015-03-09workqueue: dump workqueues on sysrq-tTejun Heo
Workqueues are used extensively throughout the kernel but sometimes it's difficult to debug stalls involving work items because visibility into its inner workings is fairly limited. Although sysrq-t task dump annotates each active worker task with the information on the work item being executed, it is challenging to find out which work items are pending or delayed on which queues and how pools are being managed. This patch implements show_workqueue_state() which dumps all busy workqueues and pools and is called from the sysrq-t handler. At the end of sysrq-t dump, something like the following is printed. Showing busy workqueues and worker pools: ... workqueue filler_wq: flags=0x0 pwq 2: cpus=1 node=0 flags=0x0 nice=0 active=2/256 in-flight: 491:filler_workfn, 507:filler_workfn pwq 0: cpus=0 node=0 flags=0x0 nice=0 active=2/256 in-flight: 501:filler_workfn pending: filler_workfn ... workqueue test_wq: flags=0x8 pwq 2: cpus=1 node=0 flags=0x0 nice=0 active=1/1 in-flight: 510(RESCUER):test_workfn BAR(69) BAR(500) delayed: test_workfn1 BAR(492), test_workfn2 ... pool 0: cpus=0 node=0 flags=0x0 nice=0 workers=2 manager: 137 pool 2: cpus=1 node=0 flags=0x0 nice=0 workers=3 manager: 469 pool 3: cpus=1 node=0 flags=0x0 nice=-20 workers=2 idle: 16 pool 8: cpus=0-3 flags=0x4 nice=0 workers=2 manager: 62 The above shows that test_wq is executing test_workfn() on pid 510 which is the rescuer and also that there are two tasks 69 and 500 waiting for the work item to finish in flush_work(). As test_wq has max_active of 1, there are two work items for test_workfn1() and test_workfn2() which are delayed till the current work item is finished. In addition, pid 492 is flushing test_workfn1(). The work item for test_workfn() is being executed on pwq of pool 2 which is the normal priority per-cpu pool for CPU 1. The pool has three workers, two of which are executing filler_workfn() for filler_wq and the last one is assuming the manager role trying to create more workers. This extra workqueue state dump will hopefully help chasing down hangs involving workqueues. v3: cpulist_pr_cont() replaced with "%*pbl" printf formatting. v2: As suggested by Andrew, minor formatting change in pr_cont_work(), printk()'s replaced with pr_info()'s, and cpumask printing now uses cpulist_pr_cont().
