2014-02-20x86, hweight: Fix BUG when booting with CONFIG_GCOV_PROFILE_ALL=yPeter Oberparleiter
commit 6583327c4dd55acbbf2a6f25e775b28b3abf9a42 upstream. Commit d61931d89b, "x86: Add optimized popcnt variants" introduced compile flag -fcall-saved-rdi for lib/hweight.c. When combined with options -fprofile-arcs and -O2, this flag causes gcc to generate broken constructor code. As a result, a 64 bit x86 kernel compiled with CONFIG_GCOV_PROFILE_ALL=y prints message "gcov: could not create file" and runs into sproadic BUGs during boot. The gcc people indicate that these kinds of problems are endemic when using ad hoc calling conventions. It is therefore best to treat any file compiled with ad hoc calling conventions as an isolated environment and avoid things like profiling or coverage analysis, since those subsystems assume a "normal" calling conventions. This patch avoids the bug by excluding lib/hweight.o from coverage profiling.

2014-02-13iscsi-target: Fix connection reset hang with percpu_ida_allocNicholas Bellinger
commit 555b270e25b0279b98083518a85f4b1da144a181 upstream. This patch addresses a bug where connection reset would hang indefinately once percpu_ida_alloc() was starved for tags, due to the fact that it always assumed uninterruptible sleep mode. So now make percpu_ida_alloc() check for signal_pending_state() for making interruptible sleep optional, and convert iscsit_allocate_cmd() to set TASK_INTERRUPTIBLE for GFP_KERNEL, or TASK_RUNNING for GFP_ATOMIC.

2014-02-13percpu_ida: Make percpu_ida_alloc + callers accept task state bitmaskKent Overstreet
commit 6f6b5d1ec56acdeab0503d2b823f6f88a0af493e upstream. This patch changes percpu_ida_alloc() + callers to accept task state bitmask for prepare_to_wait() for code like target/iscsi that needs it for interruptible sleep, that is provided in a subsequent patch. It now expects TASK_UNINTERRUPTIBLE when the caller is able to sleep waiting for a new tag, or TASK_RUNNING when the caller cannot sleep, and is forced to return a negative value when no tags are available. v2 changes: - Include blk-mq + tcm_fc + vhost/scsi + target/iscsi changes - Drop signal_pending_state() call v3 changes: - Only call prepare_to_wait() + finish_wait() when != TASK_RUNNING (PeterZ) Reported-by: Linus Torvalds <torvalds@linux-foundation.org> Cc: Linus Torvalds <torvalds@linux-foundation.org> Cc: Ingo Molnar <mingo@redhat.com> Cc: Peter Zijlstra <peterz@infradead.org> Cc: Jens Axboe <axboe@kernel.dk> Signed-off-by: Kent Overstreet <kmo@daterainc.com> Signed-off-by: Nicholas Bellinger <nab@linux-iscsi.org> Signed-off-by: Greg Kroah-Hartman <gregkh@linuxfoundation.org>
2013-12-08random32: fix off-by-one in seeding requirementDaniel Borkmann
[ Upstream commit 51c37a70aaa3f95773af560e6db3073520513912 ] For properly initialising the Tausworthe generator [1], we have a strict seeding requirement, that is, s1 > 1, s2 > 7, s3 > 15. Commit 697f8d0348 ("random32: seeding improvement") introduced a __seed() function that imposes boundary checks proposed by the errata paper [2] to properly ensure above conditions. However, we're off by one, as the function is implemented as: "return (x < m) ? x + m : x;", and called with __seed(X, 1), __seed(X, 7), __seed(X, 15). Thus, an unwanted seed of 1, 7, 15 would be possible, whereas the lower boundary should actually be of at least 2, 8, 16, just as GSL does. Fix this, as otherwise an initialization with an unwanted seed could have the effect that Tausworthe's PRNG properties cannot not be ensured. Note that this PRNG is *not* used for cryptography in the kernel.

2013-12-04vsprintf: check real user/group id for %pKRyan Mallon
commit 312b4e226951f707e120b95b118cbc14f3d162b2 upstream. Some setuid binaries will allow reading of files which have read permission by the real user id. This is problematic with files which use %pK because the file access permission is checked at open() time, but the kptr_restrict setting is checked at read() time. If a setuid binary opens a %pK file as an unprivileged user, and then elevates permissions before reading the file, then kernel pointer values may be leaked. This happens for example with the setuid pppd application on Ubuntu 12.04: $ head -1 /proc/kallsyms 00000000 T startup_32 $ pppd file /proc/kallsyms pppd: In file /proc/kallsyms: unrecognized option 'c1000000' This will only leak the pointer value from the first line, but other setuid binaries may leak more information. Fix this by adding a check that in addition to the current process having CAP_SYSLOG, that effective user and group ids are equal to the real ids. If a setuid binary reads the contents of a file which uses %pK then the pointer values will be printed as NULL if the real user is unprivileged. Update the sysctl documentation to reflect the changes, and also correct the documentation to state the kptr_restrict=0 is the default. This is a only temporary solution to the issue. The correct solution is to do the permission check at open() time on files, and to replace %pK with a function which checks the open() time permission. %pK uses in printk should be removed since no sane permission check can be done, and instead protected by using dmesg_restrict.

2013-10-31lib/scatterlist.c: don't flush_kernel_dcache_page on slab pageMing Lei
Commit b1adaf65ba03 ("[SCSI] block: add sg buffer copy helper functions") introduces two sg buffer copy helpers, and calls flush_kernel_dcache_page() on pages in SG list after these pages are written to. Unfortunately, the commit may introduce a potential bug: - Before sending some SCSI commands, kmalloc() buffer may be passed to block layper, so flush_kernel_dcache_page() can see a slab page finally - According to cachetlb.txt, flush_kernel_dcache_page() is only called on "a user page", which surely can't be a slab page. - ARCH's implementation of flush_kernel_dcache_page() may use page mapping information to do optimization so page_mapping() will see the slab page, then VM_BUG_ON() is triggered. Aaro Koskinen reported the bug on ARM/kirkwood when DEBUG_VM is enabled, and this patch fixes the bug by adding test of '!PageSlab(miter->page)' before calling flush_kernel_dcache_page().

2013-09-27lockref: allow relaxed cmpxchg64 variant for lockless updatesWill Deacon
The 64-bit cmpxchg operation on the lockref is ordered by virtue of hazarding between the cmpxchg operation and the reference count manipulation. On weakly ordered memory architectures (such as ARM), it can be of great benefit to omit the barrier instructions where they are not needed. This patch moves the lockless lockref code over to a cmpxchg64_relaxed operation, which doesn't provide barrier semantics. If the operation isn't defined, we simply #define it as the usual 64-bit cmpxchg macro.

2013-09-20lockref: use cmpxchg64 explicitly for lockless updatesWill Deacon
The cmpxchg() function tends not to support 64-bit arguments on 32-bit architectures. This could be either due to use of unsigned long arguments (like on ARM) or lack of instruction support (cmpxchgq on x86). However, these architectures may implement a specific cmpxchg64() function to provide 64-bit cmpxchg support instead. Since the lockref code requires a 64-bit cmpxchg and relies on the architecture selecting ARCH_USE_CMPXCHG_LOCKREF, move to using cmpxchg64 instead of cmpxchg and allow 32-bit architectures to make use of the lockless lockref implementation.

2013-09-11lib/radix-tree.c: make radix_tree_node_alloc() work correctly within interruptJan Kara
With users of radix_tree_preload() run from interrupt (block/blk-ioc.c is one such possible user), the following race can happen: radix_tree_preload() ... radix_tree_insert() radix_tree_node_alloc() if (rtp->nr) { ret = rtp->nodes[rtp->nr - 1]; <interrupt> ... radix_tree_preload() ... radix_tree_insert() radix_tree_node_alloc() if (rtp->nr) { ret = rtp->nodes[rtp->nr - 1]; And we give out one radix tree node twice. That clearly results in radix tree corruption with different results (usually OOPS) depending on which two users of radix tree race. We fix the problem by making radix_tree_node_alloc() always allocate fresh radix tree nodes when in interrupt. Using preloading when in interrupt doesn't make sense since all the allocations have to be atomic anyway and we cannot steal nodes from process-context users because some users rely on radix_tree_insert() succeeding after radix_tree_preload(). in_interrupt() check is somewhat ugly but we cannot simply key off passed gfp_mask as that is acquired from root_gfp_mask() and thus the same for all preload users. Another part of the fix is to avoid node preallocation in radix_tree_preload() when passed gfp_mask doesn't allow waiting. Again, preallocation in such case doesn't make sense and when preallocation would happen in interrupt we could possibly leak some allocated nodes. However, some users of radix_tree_preload() require following radix_tree_insert() to succeed. To avoid unexpected effects for these users, radix_tree_preload() only warns if passed gfp mask doesn't allow waiting and we provide a new function radix_tree_maybe_preload() for those users which get different gfp mask from different call sites and which are prepared to handle radix_tree_insert() failure.

2013-09-11rbtree: add postorder iteration functionsCody P Schafer
Postorder iteration yields all of a node's children prior to yielding the node itself, and this particular implementation also avoids examining the leaf links in a node after that node has been yielded. In what I expect will be its most common usage, postorder iteration allows the deletion of every node in an rbtree without modifying the rbtree nodes (no _requirement_ that they be nulled) while avoiding referencing child nodes after they have been "deleted" (most commonly, freed). I have only updated zswap to use this functionality at this point, but numerous bits of code (most notably in the filesystem drivers) use a hand rolled postorder iteration that NULLs child links as it traverses the tree. Each of those instances could be replaced with this common implementation. 1 & 2 add rbtree postorder iteration functions. 3 adds testing of the iteration to the rbtree runtime tests 4 allows building the rbtree runtime tests as builtins 5 updates zswap. This patch: Add postorder iteration functions for rbtree. These are useful for safely freeing an entire rbtree without modifying the tree at all.

2013-09-11lib/decompressors: fix "no limit" output buffer lengthAlexandre Courbot
When decompressing into memory, the output buffer length is set to some arbitrarily high value (0x7fffffff) to indicate the output is, virtually, unlimited in size. The problem with this is that some platforms have their physical memory at high physical addresses (0x80000000 or more), and that the output buffer address and its "unlimited" length cannot be added without overflowing. An example of this can be found in inflate_fast(): /* next_out is the output buffer address */ out = strm->next_out - OFF; /* avail_out is the output buffer size. end will overflow if the output * address is >= 0x80000104 */ end = out + (strm->avail_out - 257); This has huge consequences on the performance of kernel decompression, since the following exit condition of inflate_fast() will be always true: } while (in < last && out < end); Indeed, "end" has overflowed and is now always lower than "out". As a result, inflate_fast() will return after processing one single byte of input data, and will thus need to be called an unreasonably high number of times. This probably went unnoticed because kernel decompression is fast enough even with this issue. Nonetheless, adjusting the output buffer length in such a way that the above pointer arithmetic never overflows results in a kernel decompression that is about 3 times faster on affected machines.

2013-09-11lib/genalloc.c: fix overflow of ending address of memory chunkJoonyoung Shim
In struct gen_pool_chunk, end_addr means the end address of memory chunk (inclusive), but in the implementation it is treated as address + size of memory chunk (exclusive), so it points to the address plus one instead of correct ending address. The ending address of memory chunk plus one will cause overflow on the memory chunk including the last address of memory map, e.g. when starting address is 0xFFF00000 and size is 0x100000 on 32bit machine, ending address will be 0x100000000. Use correct ending address like starting address + size - 1.

2013-09-09idr: Percpu idaKent Overstreet
Percpu frontend for allocating ids. With percpu allocation (that works), it's impossible to guarantee it will always be possible to allocate all nr_tags - typically, some will be stuck on a remote percpu freelist where the current job can't get to them. We do guarantee that it will always be possible to allocate at least (nr_tags / 2) tags - this is done by keeping track of which and how many cpus have tags on their percpu freelists. On allocation failure if enough cpus have tags that there could potentially be (nr_tags / 2) tags stuck on remote percpu freelists, we then pick a remote cpu at random to steal from. Note that there's no cpu hotplug notifier - we don't care, because steal_tags() will eventually get the down cpu's tags. We _could_ satisfy more allocations if we had a notifier - but we'll still meet our guarantees and it's absolutely not a correctness issue, so I don't think it's worth the extra code.

2013-09-07lockref: add ability to mark lockrefs "dead"Linus Torvalds
The only actual current lockref user (dcache) uses zero reference counts even for perfectly live dentries, because it's a cache: there may not be any users, but that doesn't mean that we want to throw away the dentry. At the same time, the dentry cache does have a notion of a truly "dead" dentry that we must not even increment the reference count of, because we have pruned it and it is not valid. Currently that distinction is not visible in the lockref itself, and the dentry cache validation uses "lockref_get_or_lock()" to either get a new reference to a dentry that already had existing references (and thus cannot be dead), or get the dentry lock so that we can then verify the dentry and increment the reference count under the lock if that verification was successful. That's all somewhat complicated. This adds the concept of being "dead" to the lockref itself, by simply using a count that is negative. This allows a usage scenario where we can increment the refcount of a dentry without having to validate it, and pushing the special "we killed it" case into the lockref code. The dentry code itself doesn't actually use this yet, and it's probably too late in the merge window to do that code (the dentry_kill() code with its "should I decrement the count" logic really is pretty complex code), but let's introduce the concept at the lockref level now.

While we are likley to succeed and break out of this loop, it isn't guaranteed. We should be power and thread friendly if we do have to go around for a second (or third, or more) attempt. Signed-off-by: Tony Luck <tony.luck@intel.com> Signed-off-by: Linus Torvalds <torvalds@linux-foundation.org>
