This __put_user() could be used by unprivileged processes to write into
kernel memory. The issue here is that even if copy_siginfo_to_user()
fails, the error code is not checked before __put_user() is executed.
Luckily, ptrace_peek_siginfo() has been added within the 3.10-rc cycle,
so it has not hit a stable release yet.

The recent modification in the cpuidle framework consolidated the
timer broadcast code across the different drivers by setting a new
flag in the idle state. It tells the cpuidle core code to enter/exit
the broadcast mode for the cpu when entering a deep idle state. The
broadcast timer enter/exit is no longer handled by the back-end
driver.
This change made the local interrupt to be enabled *before* calling
CLOCK_EVENT_NOTIFY_EXIT.
On a tegra114, a four cores system, when the flag has been introduced
in the driver, the following warning appeared:
WARNING: at kernel/time/tick-broadcast.c:578 tick_broadcast_oneshot_control

I don't have the hardware, so I wasn't able to reproduce the warning
but after looking a while at the code, I deduced the following:
1. the CPU2 enters a deep idle state and sets the broadcast timer
2. the timer expires, the tick_handle_oneshot_broadcast function is
called, setting the tick_broadcast_pending_mask and waking up the
idle cpu CPU2
3. the CPU2 exits idle handles the interrupt and then invokes
tick_broadcast_oneshot_control with CLOCK_EVENT_NOTIFY_EXIT which
runs the following code:
[...]
if (dev->next_event.tv64 == KTIME_MAX)
goto out;
if (cpumask_test_and_clear_cpu(cpu,
tick_broadcast_pending_mask))
goto out;
[...]
So if there is no next event scheduled for CPU2, we fulfil the
first condition and jump out without clearing the
tick_broadcast_pending_mask.
4. CPU2 goes to deep idle again and calls
tick_broadcast_oneshot_control with CLOCK_NOTIFY_EVENT_ENTER but
with the tick_broadcast_pending_mask set for CPU2, triggering the
warning.
The issue only surfaced due to the modifications of the cpuidle
framework, which resulted in interrupts being enabled before the call
to the clockevents code. If the call happens before interrupts have
been enabled, the warning cannot trigger, because there is still the
event pending which caused the broadcast timer expiry.
Move the check for the next event below the check for the pending bit,
so the pending bit gets cleared whether an event is scheduled on the
cpu or not.

fetch_bp_busy_slots() and toggle_bp_slot() use
for_each_online_cpu(), this is obviously wrong wrt cpu_up() or
cpu_down(), we can over/under account the per-cpu numbers.
For example:
# echo 0 >> /sys/devices/system/cpu/cpu1/online
# perf record -e mem:0x10 -p 1 &
# echo 1 >> /sys/devices/system/cpu/cpu1/online
# perf record -e mem:0x10,mem:0x10,mem:0x10,mem:0x10 -C1 -a &
# taskset -p 0x2 1
triggers the same WARN_ONCE("Can't find any breakpoint slot") in

trinity fuzzer triggered WARN_ONCE("Can't find any breakpoint
slot") in arch_install_hw_breakpoint() but the problem is not
arch-specific.
The problem is, task_bp_pinned(cpu) checks "cpu == iter->cpu"
but this doesn't account the "all cpus" events with iter->cpu <
0.
This means that, say, register_user_hw_breakpoint(tsk) can
happily create the arbitrary number > HBP_NUM of breakpoints
which can not be activated. toggle_bp_task_slot() is equally
wrong by the same reason and nr_task_bp_pinned[] can have
negative entries.
Simple test:
# perl -e 'sleep 1 while 1' &
# perf record -e mem:0x10,mem:0x10,mem:0x10,mem:0x10,mem:0x10 -p `pidof perl`
Before this patch this triggers the same problem/WARN_ON(),
after the patch it correctly fails with -ENOSPC.

------------[ cut here ]------------
What happened was that the function tracer traced the schedule_user() code
that tells RCU that the system is coming back from userspace, and to
add the CPU back to the RCU monitoring.
Because the function tracer does a preempt_disable/enable_notrace() calls
the preempt_enable_notrace() checks the NEED_RESCHED flag. If it is set,
then preempt_schedule() is called. But this is called before the user_exit()
function can inform the kernel that the CPU is no longer in user mode and
needs to be accounted for by RCU.
The fix is to create a new preempt_schedule_context() that checks if
the kernel is still in user mode and if so to switch it to kernel mode
before calling schedule. It also switches back to user mode coming back
from schedule in need be.
The only user of this currently is the preempt_enable_notrace(), which is
only used by the tracing subsystem.

I have faced a sequence where the Idle Load Balance was sometime not
triggered for a while on my platform, in the following scenario:
CPU 0 and CPU 1 are running tasks and CPU 2 is idle
CPU 1 kicks the Idle Load Balance
CPU 1 selects CPU 2 as the new Idle Load Balancer
CPU 2 sets NOHZ_BALANCE_KICK for CPU 2
CPU 2 sends a reschedule IPI to CPU 2
While CPU 3 wakes up, CPU 0 or CPU 1 migrates a waking up task A on CPU 2
CPU 2 finally wakes up, runs task A and discards the Idle Load Balance
task A quickly goes back to sleep (before a tick occurs on CPU 2)
CPU 2 goes back to idle with NOHZ_BALANCE_KICK set
Whenever CPU 2 will be selected as the ILB, no reschedule IPI will be sent
because NOHZ_BALANCE_KICK is already set and no Idle Load Balance will be
performed.
We must wait for the sched softirq to be raised on CPU 2 thanks to another
part the kernel to come back to clear NOHZ_BALANCE_KICK.
The proposed solution clears NOHZ_BALANCE_KICK in schedule_ipi if
we can't raise the sched_softirq for the Idle Load Balance.
Change since V1:
- move the clear of NOHZ_BALANCE_KICK in got_nohz_idle_kick if the ILB
can't run on this CPU (as suggested by Peter)

Vince's fuzzer once again found holes. This time it spotted a leak in
the locked page accounting.
When an event had redirected output and its close() was the last
reference to the buffer we didn't have a vm context to undo accounting.
Change the code to destroy the buffer on the last munmap() and detach
all redirected events at that time. This provides us the right context
to undo the vm accounting.

Joshua reported: Commit cd7b304dfaf1 (x86, range: fix missing merge
during add range) broke mtrr cleanup on his setup in 3.9.5.
corresponding commit in upstream is fbe06b7bae7c.
The reason is add_range_with_merge could generate blank spot.
We could avoid that by searching new expanded start/end, that
new range should include all connected ranges in range array.
At last add the new expanded start/end to the range array.
Also move up left array so do not add new blank slot in the
range array.
-v2: move left array to avoid enhance add_range()

exit_notify() does exit_task_namespaces() after
forget_original_parent(). This was needed to ensure that ->nsproxy
can't be cleared prematurely, an exiting child we are going to
reparent can do do_notify_parent() and use the parent's (ours) pid_ns.
However, after 32084504 "pidns: use task_active_pid_ns in
do_notify_parent" ->nsproxy != NULL is no longer needed, we rely
on task_active_pid_ns().
Move exit_task_namespaces() from exit_notify() to do_exit(), after
exit_fs() and before exit_task_work().
This solves the problem reported by Andrey, free_ipc_ns()->shm_destroy()
does fput() which needs task_work_add().
Note: this particular problem can be fixed if we change fput(), and
that change makes sense anyway. But there is another reason to move
the callsite. The original reason for exit_task_namespaces() from
the middle of exit_notify() was subtle and it has already gone away,
now this looks confusing. And this allows us do simplify exit_notify(),
we can avoid unlock/lock(tasklist) and we can use ->exit_state instead
of PF_EXITING in forget_original_parent().

PARISC bootup triggers the warning at kernel/cpu/idle.c:96. That's
caused by the weak arch_cpu_idle() implementation, which is provided
to avoid that architectures implement idle_poll over and over.
The switchover to polling mode happens in the first call of the weak
arch_cpu_idle() implementation, but that code fails to reenable
interrupts and therefor triggers the warning.
Fix this by enabling interrupts in the weak arch_cpu_idle() code.

Pull RCU fixes from Paul McKenney:
"I must confess that this past merge window was not RCU's best showing.
This series contains three more fixes for RCU regressions:
1. A fix to __DECLARE_TRACE_RCU() that causes it to act as an
interrupt from idle rather than as a task switch from idle.
This change is needed due to the recent use of _rcuidle()
tracepoints that can be invoked from interrupt handlers as well
as from idle. Without this fix, invoking _rcuidle() tracepoints
from interrupt handlers results in splats and (more seriously)
confusion on RCU's part as to whether a given CPU is idle or not.
This confusion can in turn result in too-short grace periods and
therefore random memory corruption.
2. A fix to a subtle deadlock that could result due to RCU doing
a wakeup while holding one of its rcu_node structure's locks.
Although the probability of occurrence is low, it really
does happen. The fix, courtesy of Steven Rostedt, uses
irq_work_queue() to avoid the deadlock.
3. A fix to a silent deadlock (invisible to lockdep) due to the
interaction of timeouts posted by RCU debug code enabled by
CONFIG_PROVE_RCU_DELAY=y, grace-period initialization, and CPU
hotplug operations. This will not occur in production kernels,
but really does occur in randconfig testing. Diagnosis courtesy
of Steven Rostedt"

audit_add_tree_rule() must set 'rule->tree = NULL;' firstly, to protect
the rule itself freed in kill_rules().

audit_log_start() does wait_for_auditd() in a loop until
audit_backlog_wait_time passes or audit_skb_queue has a room.
If signal_pending() is true this becomes a busy-wait loop, schedule() in
TASK_INTERRUPTIBLE won't block.
Thanks to Guy for fully investigating and explaining the problem.
(akpm: that'll cause the system to lock up on a non-preemptible
uniprocessor kernel)
(Guy: "Our customer was in fact running a uniprocessor machine, and they
reported a system hang.")

The dmesg_restrict sysctl currently covers the syslog method for access
dmesg, however /dev/kmsg isn't covered by the same protections. Most
people haven't noticed because util-linux dmesg(1) defaults to using the
syslog method for access in older versions. With util-linux dmesg(1)
defaults to reading directly from /dev/kmsg.
To fix /dev/kmsg, let's compare the existing interfaces and what they
allow:
- /proc/kmsg allows:
- open (SYSLOG_ACTION_OPEN) if CAP_SYSLOG since it uses a destructive
single-reader interface (SYSLOG_ACTION_READ).
- everything, after an open.
- syslog syscall allows:
- anything, if CAP_SYSLOG.
- SYSLOG_ACTION_READ_ALL and SYSLOG_ACTION_SIZE_BUFFER, if
dmesg_restrict==0.
- nothing else (EPERM).
The use-cases were:
- dmesg(1) needs to do non-destructive SYSLOG_ACTION_READ_ALLs.
- sysklog(1) needs to open /proc/kmsg, drop privs, and still issue the
destructive SYSLOG_ACTION_READs.
AIUI, dmesg(1) is moving to /dev/kmsg, and systemd-journald doesn't
clear the ring buffer.
Based on the comments in devkmsg_llseek, it sounds like actions besides
reading aren't going to be supported by /dev/kmsg (i.e.
SYSLOG_ACTION_CLEAR), so we have a strict subset of the non-destructive
syslog syscall actions.
To this end, move the check as Josh had done, but also rename the
constants to reflect their new uses (SYSLOG_FROM_CALL becomes
SYSLOG_FROM_READER, and SYSLOG_FROM_FILE becomes SYSLOG_FROM_PROC).
SYSLOG_FROM_READER allows non-destructive actions, and SYSLOG_FROM_PROC
allows destructive actions after a capabilities-constrained
SYSLOG_ACTION_OPEN check.
- /dev/kmsg allows:
- open if CAP_SYSLOG or dmesg_restrict==0
- reading/polling, after open

We recently noticed that reboot of a 1024 cpu machine takes approx 16
minutes of just stopping the cpus. The slowdown was tracked to commit
f96972f2dc63 ("kernel/sys.c: call disable_nonboot_cpus() in
kernel_restart()").
The current implementation does all the work of hot removing the cpus
before halting the system. We are switching to just migrating to the
boot cpu and then continuing with shutdown/reboot.
This also has the effect of not breaking x86's command line parameter
for specifying the reboot cpu. Note, this code was shamelessly copied
from arch/x86/kernel/reboot.c with bits removed pertaining to the
reboot_cpu command line parameter.

There are instances in the kernel where we would like to disable CPU
hotplug (from sysfs) during some important operation. Today the freezer
code depends on this and the code to do it was kinda tailor-made for
that.
Restructure the code and make it generic enough to be useful for other
usecases too.

Pull tracing fix from Steven Rostedt:
"Yoshihiro Yunomae fixed a regression in the output format when using
one of the counter clocks.
The new multibuffer code changed the trace_clock file to update the
trace instances tr->clock_id but the actual traces still used the
value from the obsolete global variable trace_clock_id"
* tag 'trace-fixes-v3.10-rc5' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/rostedt/linux-trace:
tracing: Fix outputting formats of x86-tsc and counter when use trace_clock
|
|
Moving x86 to the generic idle implementation (commit 7d1a9417 "x86:
Use generic idle loop") wreckaged the stack protector.
I stupidly missed that boot_init_stack_canary() must be inlined from a
function which never returns, but I put that call into
arch_cpu_idle_prepare() which of course returns.
I pondered to play tricks with arch_cpu_idle_prepare() first, but then
I noticed, that the other archs which have implemented the
stackprotector (ARM and SH) do not initialize the canary for the
non-boot cpus.
So I decided to move the boot_init_stack_canary() call into
cpu_startup_entry() ifdeffed with an CONFIG_X86 for now. This #ifdef
is just a temporary measure as I don't want to inflict the
boot_init_stack_canary() call on ARM and SH that late in the cycle.
I'll queue a patch for 3.11 which removes the #ifdef if the ARM/SH
maintainers have no objection.

Outputting formats of x86-tsc and counter should be a raw format, but after
applying the patch(2b6080f28c7cc3efc8625ab71495aae89aeb63a0), the format was
changed to nanosec. This is because the global variable trace_clock_id was used.
When we use multiple buffers, clock_id of each sub-buffer should be used. Then,
this patch uses tr->clock_id instead of the global variable trace_clock_id.
[ Basically, this fixes a regression where the multibuffer code changed the
trace_clock file to update tr->clock_id but the traces still use the old
global trace_clock_id variable, negating the file's effect. The global
trace_clock_id variable is obsolete and removed. - SR ]

The stop machine logic can lock up if all but one of the migration
threads make it through the disable-irq step and the one remaining
thread gets stuck in __do_softirq. The reason __do_softirq can hang is
that it has a bail-out based on jiffies timeout, but in the lockup case,
jiffies itself is not incremented.
To work around this, re-add the max_restart counter in __do_irq and stop
processing irqs after 10 restarts.
Thanks to Tejun Heo and Rusty Russell and others for helping me track
this down.
This was introduced in 3.9 by commit c10d73671ad3 ("softirq: reduce
latencies").
It may be worth looking into ath9k to see if it has issues with its irq
handler at a later date.
The hang stack traces look something like this:

This commit breaks this deadlock cycle by substituting a shorter udelay()
for the previous schedule_timeout_uninterruptible(), while at the same
time increasing the probability of the delay. This maintains the intensity
of the testing.

Notice the above call chain.
rcu_start_future_gp() is called with the rnp->lock held. Then it calls
rcu_start_gp_advance, which does a wakeup.
You can't do wakeups while holding the rnp->lock, as that would mean
that you could not do a rcu_read_unlock() while holding the rq lock, or
any lock that was taken while holding the rq lock. This is because...

Notice the above trace.
perf took its own ctx->lock, which can be taken while holding the rq
lock. While holding this lock, it did a rcu_read_unlock(). The
perf_lock_task_context() basically looks like:
rcu_read_lock();
raw_spin_lock(ctx->lock);
rcu_read_unlock();
Now, what looks to have happened, is that we scheduled after taking that
first rcu_read_lock() but before taking the spin lock. When we scheduled
back in and took the ctx->lock, the following rcu_read_unlock()
triggered the "special" code.
The rcu_read_unlock_special() takes the rnp->lock, which gives us a
possible deadlock scenario.
CPU0 CPU1 CPU2
---- ---- ----
rcu_nocb_kthread()
lock(rq->lock);
lock(ctx->lock);
lock(rnp->lock);
wake_up();
lock(rq->lock);

rcu_read_unlock_special();
lock(rnp->lock);
lock(ctx->lock);

git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/rostedt/linux-trace
Pull tracing fixes from Steven Rostedt:
"This contains 4 fixes.
The first two fix the case where full RCU debugging is enabled,
enabling function tracing causes a live lock of the system. This is
due to the added debug checks in rcu_dereference_raw() that is used by
the function tracer. These checks are also traced by the function
tracer as well as cause enough overhead to the function tracer to slow
down the system enough that the time to finish an interrupt can take
longer than when the next interrupt is triggered, causing a live lock
from the timer interrupt.
Talking this over with Paul McKenney, we came up with a fix that adds
a new rcu_dereference_raw_notrace() that does not perform these added
checks, and let the function tracer use that.
The third commit fixes a failed compile when branch tracing is
enabled, due to the conversion of the trace_test_buffer() selftest
that the branch trace wasn't converted for.
The forth patch fixes a bug caught by the RCU lockdep code where a
rcu_read_lock() is performed when rcu is disabled (either going to or
from idle, or user space). This happened on the irqsoff tracer as it
calls task_uid(). The fix here was to use current_uid() when possible
that doesn't use rcu locking. Which luckily, is always used when
irqsoff calls this code."

The irqsoff tracer records the max time that interrupts are disabled.
There are hooks in the assembly code that calls back into the tracer when
interrupts are disabled or enabled.
When they are enabled, the tracer checks if the amount of time they
were disabled is larger than the previous recorded max interrupts off
time. If it is, it creates a snapshot of the currently running trace
to store where the last largest interrupts off time was held and how
it happened.
During testing, this RCU lockdep dump appeared:

What happened was entering into the user code, the interrupts were enabled
and a max interrupts off was recorded. The trace buffer was saved along with
various information about the task: comm, pid, uid, priority, etc.
The uid is recorded with task_uid(tsk). But this is a macro that uses rcu_read_lock()
to retrieve the data, and this happened to happen where RCU is blind (user_enter).
As only the preempt and irqs off tracers can have this happen, and they both
only have the tsk == current, if tsk == current, use current_uid() instead of
task_uid(), as current_uid() does not use RCU as only current can change its uid.
This fixes the RCU suspicious splat.

Pull cgroup fixes from Tejun Heo:
- Fix for yet another xattr bug which may lead to NULL deref.
- A subtle bug in for_each_descendant_pre(). This bug requires quite
specific conditions to trigger and isn't too likely to actually
happen in the wild, but maybe that just makes it that much more
nastier.
- A warning message added for silly cgroup re-mount (not -o remount,
but unmount followed by mount) behavior.

Since 7300711e ("clockevents: broadcast fixup possible waiters"),
the timekeeping duty is assigned to the CPU that handles the tick
broadcast clock device by the time it is set in one shot mode.
This is an issue in full dynticks mode where the timekeeping duty
must stay handled by the boot CPU for now. Otherwise it prevents
secondary CPUs from offlining and this breaks
suspend/shutdown/reboot/...
As it appears there is no reason for this timekeeping duty to be
moved to the broadcast CPU, besides nothing prevent it from being
later re-assigned to another target, let's simply remove it.

In tick_nohz_cpu_down_callback() if the cpu is the one handling
timekeeping, we must return something that stops the CPU_DOWN_PREPARE
notifiers and then start notify CPU_DOWN_FAILED on the already called
notifier call backs.
However traditional errno values are not handled by the notifier unless
these are encapsulated using errno_to_notifier().
Hence the current -EINVAL is misinterpreted and converted to junk after
notifier_to_errno(), leaving the notifier subsystem to random behaviour
such as eventually allowing the cpu to go down.
Fix this by using the standard NOTIFY_BAD instead.

The kvm_host.h header file doesn't handle well
inclusion when archs don't support KVM.
This results in build crashes for such archs when they
want to implement context tracking because this subsystem
includes kvm_host.h in order to implement the
guest_enter/exit APIs but it doesn't handle KVM off case.
To fix this, move the guest_enter()/guest_exit()
declarations and generic implementation to the context
tracking headers. These generic APIs actually belong to
this subsystem, besides other domains boundary tracking
like user_enter() et al.
KVM now properly becomes a user of this library, not the
other buggy way around.

While computing the cputime delta of dynticks CPUs,
we are mixing up clocks of differents natures:
* local_clock() which takes care of unstable clock
sources and fix these if needed.
* sched_clock() which is the weaker version of
local_clock(). It doesn't compute any fixup in case
of unstable source.
If the clock source is stable, those two clocks are the
same and we can safely compute the difference against
two random points.
Otherwise it results in random deltas as sched_clock()
can randomly drift away, back or forward, from local_clock().
As a consequence, some strange behaviour with unstable tsc
has been observed such as non progressing constant zero cputime.
(The 'top' command showing no load).
Fix this by only using local_clock(), or its irq safe/remote
equivalent, in vtime code.

The branch selftest calls trace_test_buffer(), but with the new code
it expects the first parameter to be a pointer to a struct trace_buffer.
All self tests were changed but the branch selftest was missed.
This caused either a crash or failed test when the branch selftest was
enabled.

As rcu_dereference_raw() under RCU debug config options can add quite a
bit of checks, and that tracing uses rcu_dereference_raw(), these checks
happen with the function tracer. The function tracer also happens to trace
these debug checks too. This added overhead can livelock the system.
Have the function tracer use the new RCU _notrace equivalents that do
not do the debug checks for RCU.

With the new __DEVEL__sane_behavior mount option was introduced,
if the root cgroup is alive with no xattr function, to mount a
new cgroup with xattr will be rejected in terms of design which
just fine. However, if the root cgroup does not mounted with
__DEVEL__sane_hehavior, to create a new cgroup with xattr option
will succeed although after that the EA function does not works
as expected but will get ENOTSUPP for setting up attributes under
either cgroup. e.g.
setfattr: /cgroup2/test: Operation not supported
Instead of keeping silence in this case, it's better to drop a log
entry in warning level. That would be helpful to understand the
reason behind the scene from the user's perspective, and this is
essentially an improvement does not break the backward compatibilities.
With this fix, above mount attemption will keep up works as usual but
the following line cound be found at the system log:
[ ...] cgroup: new mount options do not match the existing superblock
tj: minor formatting / message updates.

Since commit 31ade30692dc9680bfc95700d794818fa3f754ac, timekeeping_init()
checks for presence of persistent clock by attempting to read a non-zero
time value. This is an issue on platforms where persistent_clock (instead
is implemented as a free-running counter (instead of an RTC) starting
from zero on each boot and running during suspend. Examples are some ARM
platforms (e.g. PandaBoard).
An attempt to read such a clock during timekeeping_init() may return zero
value and falsely declare persistent clock as missing. Additionally, in
the above case suspend times may be accounted twice (once from
timekeeping_resume() and once from rtc_resume()), resulting in a gradual
drift of system time.
This patch does a run-time correction of the issue by doing the same check
during timekeeping_suspend().
A better long-term solution would have to return error when trying to read
non-existing clock and zero when trying to read an uninitialized clock, but
that would require changing all persistent_clock implementations.
This patch addresses the immediate breakage, for now.
