2013-06-29Fix: kernel/ptrace.c: ptrace_peek_siginfo() missing __put_user() validationMathieu Desnoyers
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.

2013-06-21tick: Fix tick_broadcast_pending_mask not clearedDaniel Lezcano
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 CPU: 2 PID: 0 Comm: swapper/2 Not tainted 3.10.0-rc3-next-20130529+ #15 [<c00667f8>] (tick_broadcast_oneshot_control+0x1a4/0x1d0) from [<c0065cd0>] (tick_notify+0x240/0x40c) [<c0065cd0>] (tick_notify+0x240/0x40c) from [<c0044724>] (notifier_call_chain+0x44/0x84) [<c0044724>] (notifier_call_chain+0x44/0x84) from [<c0044828>] (raw_notifier_call_chain+0x18/0x20) [<c0044828>] (raw_notifier_call_chain+0x18/0x20) from [<c00650cc>] (clockevents_notify+0x28/0x170) [<c00650cc>] (clockevents_notify+0x28/0x170) from [<c033f1f0>] (cpuidle_idle_call+0x11c/0x168) [<c033f1f0>] (cpuidle_idle_call+0x11c/0x168) from [<c000ea94>] (arch_cpu_idle+0x8/0x38) [<c000ea94>] (arch_cpu_idle+0x8/0x38) from [<c005ea80>] (cpu_startup_entry+0x60/0x134) [<c005ea80>] (cpu_startup_entry+0x60/0x134) from [<804fe9a4>] (0x804fe9a4) 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.

2013-06-20hw_breakpoint: Fix cpu check in task_bp_pinned(cpu)Oleg Nesterov
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.

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.

2013-06-19sched: Fix clear NOHZ_BALANCE_KICKVincent Guittot
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) Signed-off-by: Vincent Guittot <vincent.guittot@linaro.org> Signed-off-by: Peter Zijlstra <peterz@infradead.org> Link: http://lkml.kernel.org/r/1370419991-13870-1-git-send-email-vincent.guittot@linaro.org Signed-off-by: Ingo Molnar <mingo@kernel.org>

2013-06-15move exit_task_namespaces() outside of exit_notify()Oleg Nesterov
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.

git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/paulmck/linux-rcu 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.

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.")

2013-06-12kmsg: honor dmesg_restrict sysctl on /dev/kmsgKees Cook
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 Addresses https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=903192 [akpm@linux-foundation.org: use pr_warn_once()] Signed-off-by: Kees Cook <keescook@chromium.org> Reported-by: Christian Kujau <lists@nerdbynature.de> Tested-by: Josh Boyer <jwboyer@redhat.com> Cc: Kay Sievers <kay@vrfy.org> Cc: <stable@vger.kernel.org> Signed-off-by: Andrew Morton <akpm@linux-foundation.org> Signed-off-by: Linus Torvalds <torvalds@linux-foundation.org>
2013-06-12reboot: rigrate shutdown/reboot to boot cpuRobin Holt
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.

2013-06-12CPU hotplug: provide a generic helper to disable/enable CPU hotplugSrivatsa S. Bhat
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.

2013-06-11idle: Add the stack canary init to cpu_startup_entry()Thomas Gleixner
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.

2013-06-11tracing: Fix outputting formats of x86-tsc and counter when use trace_clockYoshihiro YUNOMAE
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 ] Link: http://lkml.kernel.org/r/20130423013239.22334.7394.stgit@yunodevel Signed-off-by: Yoshihiro YUNOMAE <yoshihiro.yunomae.ez@hitachi.com> Signed-off-by: Steven Rostedt <rostedt@goodmis.org>
2013-06-11Fix lockup related to stop_machine being stuck in __do_softirq.Ben Greear
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: ------------[ cut here ]------------ WARNING: at kernel/watchdog.c:245 watchdog_overflow_callback+0x9c/0xa7() Watchdog detected hard LOCKUP on cpu 2 Modules linked in: ath9k ath9k_common ath9k_hw ath mac80211 cfg80211 nfsv4 auth_rpcgss nfs fscache nf_nat_ipv4 nf_nat veth 8021q garp stp mrp llc pktgen lockd sunrpc] Pid: 23, comm: migration/2 Tainted: G C 3.9.4+ #11 Call Trace: <NMI> warn_slowpath_common+0x85/0x9f warn_slowpath_fmt+0x46/0x48 watchdog_overflow_callback+0x9c/0xa7 __perf_event_overflow+0x137/0x1cb perf_event_overflow+0x14/0x16 intel_pmu_handle_irq+0x2dc/0x359 perf_event_nmi_handler+0x19/0x1b nmi_handle+0x7f/0xc2 do_nmi+0xbc/0x304 end_repeat_nmi+0x1e/0x2e <<EOE>> cpu_stopper_thread+0xae/0x162 smpboot_thread_fn+0x258/0x260 kthread+0xc7/0xcf ret_from_fork+0x7c/0xb0 ---[ end trace 4947dfa9b0a4cec3 ]--- BUG: soft lockup - CPU#1 stuck for 22s!

Here's our deadlock! 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. Reported-by: Steven Rostedt <rostedt@goodmis.org> Signed-off-by: Paul E.

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.

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.

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." * tag 'trace-fixes-v3.10-rc3-v3' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/rostedt/linux-trace: tracing: Use current_uid() for critical time tracing tracing: Fix bad parameter passed in branch selftest ftrace: Use the rcu _notrace variants for rcu_dereference_raw() and friends rcu: Add _notrace variation of rcu_dereference_raw() and hlist_for_each_entry_rcu()
2013-06-06tracing: Use current_uid() for critical time tracingSteven Rostedt (Red Hat)
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.

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. Signed-off-by: Steven Rostedt <rostedt@goodmis.org>

2013-05-31tick: Remove useless timekeeping duty attribution to broadcast sourceJiri Bohac
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.

2013-05-31nohz: Fix notifier return val that enforce timekeepingLi Zhong
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. Signed-off-by: Li Zhong <zhong@linux.vnet.ibm.com> Reviewed-by: Srivatsa S.

2013-05-31kvm: Move guest entry/exit APIs to context_trackingFrederic Weisbecker
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.

2013-05-31vtime: Use consistent clocks among nohz accountingFrederic Weisbecker
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.

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.

2013-05-28timekeeping: Correct run-time detection of persistent_clock.Zoran Markovic
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.
