2020-06-04kcov: collect coverage from interruptsAndrey Konovalov1-0/+3
This change extends kcov remote coverage support to allow collecting coverage from soft interrupts in addition to kernel background threads. To collect coverage from code that is executed in softirq context, a part of that code has to be annotated with kcov_remote_start/stop() in a similar way as how it is done for global kernel background threads. Then the handle used for the annotations has to be passed to the KCOV_REMOTE_ENABLE ioctl. Internally this patch adjusts the __sanitizer_cov_trace_pc() compiler inserted callback to not bail out when called from softirq context. kcov_remote_start/stop() are updated to save/restore the current per task kcov state in a per-cpu area (in case the softirq came when the kernel was already collecting coverage in task context). Coverage from softirqs is collected into pre-allocated per-cpu areas, whose size is controlled by the new CONFIG_KCOV_IRQ_AREA_SIZE.

2020-06-02mm/writeback: replace PF_LESS_THROTTLE with PF_LOCAL_THROTTLENeilBrown1-1/+2
PF_LESS_THROTTLE exists for loop-back nfsd (and a similar need in the loop block driver and callers of prctl(PR_SET_IO_FLUSHER)), where a daemon needs to write to one bdi (the final bdi) in order to free up writes queued to another bdi (the client bdi). The daemon sets PF_LESS_THROTTLE and gets a larger allowance of dirty pages, so that it can still dirty pages after other processses have been throttled. The purpose of this is to avoid deadlock that happen when the PF_LESS_THROTTLE process must write for any dirty pages to be freed, but it is being thottled and cannot write. This approach was designed when all threads were blocked equally, independently on which device they were writing to, or how fast it was. Since that time the writeback algorithm has changed substantially with different threads getting different allowances based on non-trivial heuristics. This means the simple "add 25%" heuristic is no longer reliable. The important issue is not that the daemon needs a *larger* dirty page allowance, but that it needs a *private* dirty page allowance, so that dirty pages for the "client" bdi that it is helping to clear (the bdi for an NFS filesystem or loop block device etc) do not affect the throttling of the daemon writing to the "final" bdi. This patch changes the heuristic so that the task is not throttled when the bdi it is writing to has a dirty page count below below (or equal to) the free-run threshold for that bdi. This ensures it will always be able to have some pages in flight, and so will not deadlock. In a steady-state, it is expected that PF_LOCAL_THROTTLE tasks might still be throttled by global threshold, but that is acceptable as it is only the deadlock state that is interesting for this flag. This approach of "only throttle when target bdi is busy" is consistent with the other use of PF_LESS_THROTTLE in current_may_throttle(), were it causes attention to be focussed only on the target bdi. So this patch - renames PF_LESS_THROTTLE to PF_LOCAL_THROTTLE, - removes the 25% bonus that that flag gives, and - If PF_LOCAL_THROTTLE is set, don't delay at all unless the global and the local free-run thresholds are exceeded. Note that previously realtime threads were treated the same as PF_LESS_THROTTLE threads. This patch does *not* change the behvaiour for real-time threads, so it is now different from the behaviour of nfsd and loop tasks. I don't know what is wanted for realtime.

2020-05-28sched: Replace rq::wake_listPeter Zijlstra1-0/+1
The recent commit: 90b5363acd47 ("sched: Clean up scheduler_ipi()") got smp_call_function_single_async() subtly wrong. Even though it will return -EBUSY when trying to re-use a csd, that condition is not atomic and still requires external serialization. The change in ttwu_queue_remote() got this wrong. While on first reading ttwu_queue_remote() has an atomic test-and-set that appears to serialize the use, the matching 'release' is not in the right place to actually guarantee this serialization. The actual race is vs the sched_ttwu_pending() call in the idle loop; that can run the wakeup-list without consuming the CSD. Instead of trying to chain the lists, merge them.

This change permits readers to check to see if a memory barrier is required without any added overhead in the common case where no such barrier is required. This commit also adds the read-side checking. Later commits will add the machinery to properly set the new ->trc_reader_special.b.need_mb field.

2020-04-27rcu-tasks: Add an RCU Tasks Trace to simplify protection of tracing hooksPaul E. McKenney1-0/+8
Because RCU does not watch exception early-entry/late-exit, idle-loop, or CPU-hotplug execution, protection of tracing and BPF operations is needlessly complicated. This commit therefore adds a variant of Tasks RCU that: o Has explicit read-side markers to allow finite grace periods in the face of in-kernel loops for PREEMPT=n builds. These markers are rcu_read_lock_trace() and rcu_read_unlock_trace(). o Protects code in the idle loop, exception entry/exit, and CPU-hotplug code paths. In this respect, RCU-tasks trace is similar to SRCU, but with lighter-weight readers. o Avoids expensive read-side instruction, having overhead similar to that of Preemptible RCU. There are of course downsides: o The grace-period code can send IPIs to CPUs, even when those CPUs are in the idle loop or in nohz_full userspace. This is mitigated by later commits. o It is necessary to scan the full tasklist, much as for Tasks RCU. o There is a single callback queue guarded by a single lock, again, much as for Tasks RCU. However, those early use cases that request multiple grace periods in quick succession are expected to do so from a single task, which makes the single lock almost irrelevant. If needed, multiple callback queues can be provided using any number of schemes. Perhaps most important, this variant of RCU does not affect the vanilla flavors, rcu_preempt and rcu_sched. The fact that RCU Tasks Trace readers can operate from idle, offline, and exception entry/exit in no way enables rcu_preempt and rcu_sched readers to do so. The memory ordering was outlined here: https://lore.kernel.org/lkml/20200319034030.GX3199@paulmck-ThinkPad-P72/ This effort benefited greatly from off-list discussions of BPF requirements with Alexei Starovoitov and Andrii Nakryiko.

2020-04-27rcu: Remove unused ->rcu_read_unlock_special.b.deferred_qs fieldLai Jiangshan1-1/+1
The ->rcu_read_unlock_special.b.deferred_qs field is set to true in rcu_read_unlock_special() but never set to false. This is not particularly useful, so this commit removes this field. The only possible justification for this field is to ease debugging of RCU deferred quiscent states, but the combination of the other ->rcu_read_unlock_special fields plus ->rcu_blocked_node and of course ->rcu_read_lock_nesting should cover debugging needs. And if this last proves incorrect, this patch can always be reverted, along with the required setting of ->rcu_read_unlock_special.b.deferred_qs to false in rcu_preempt_deferred_qs_irqrestore().

2020-04-01signal: Extend exec_id to 64bitsEric W. Biederman1-2/+2
Replace the 32bit exec_id with a 64bit exec_id to make it impossible to wrap the exec_id counter. With care an attacker can cause exec_id wrap and send arbitrary signals to a newly exec'd parent. This bypasses the signal sending checks if the parent changes their credentials during exec. The severity of this problem can been seen that in my limited testing of a 32bit exec_id it can take as little as 19s to exec 65536 times. Which means that it can take as little as 14 days to wrap a 32bit exec_id. Adam Zabrocki has succeeded wrapping the self_exe_id in 7 days. Even my slower timing is in the uptime of a typical server. Which means self_exec_id is simply a speed bump today, and if exec gets noticably faster self_exec_id won't even be a speed bump. Extending self_exec_id to 64bits introduces a problem on 32bit architectures where reading self_exec_id is no longer atomic and can take two read instructions. Which means that is is possible to hit a window where the read value of exec_id does not match the written value. So with very lucky timing after this change this still remains expoiltable. I have updated the update of exec_id on exec to use WRITE_ONCE and the read of exec_id in do_notify_parent to use READ_ONCE to make it clear that there is no locking between these two locations.

2020-03-21lockdep: Introduce wait-type checksPeter Zijlstra1-0/+1
Extend lockdep to validate lock wait-type context. The current wait-types are: LD_WAIT_FREE, /* wait free, rcu etc.. */ LD_WAIT_SPIN, /* spin loops, raw_spinlock_t etc.. */ LD_WAIT_CONFIG, /* CONFIG_PREEMPT_LOCK, spinlock_t etc.. */ LD_WAIT_SLEEP, /* sleeping locks, mutex_t etc.. */ Where lockdep validates that the current lock (the one being acquired) fits in the current wait-context (as generated by the held stack). This ensures that there is no attempt to acquire mutexes while holding spinlocks, to acquire spinlocks while holding raw_spinlocks and so on. In other words, its a more fancy might_sleep(). Obviously RCU made the entire ordeal more complex than a simple single value test because RCU can be acquired in (pretty much) any context and while it presents a context to nested locks it is not the same as it got acquired in. Therefore its necessary to split the wait_type into two values, one representing the acquire (outer) and one representing the nested context (inner). For most 'normal' locks these two are the same. [ To make static initialization easier we have the rule that: .outer == INV means .outer == .inner; because INV == 0. ] It further means that its required to find the minimal .inner of the held stack to compare against the outer of the new lock; because while 'normal' RCU presents a CONFIG type to nested locks, if it is taken while already holding a SPIN type it obviously doesn't relax the rules. Below is an example output generated by the trivial test code: raw_spin_lock(&foo); spin_lock(&bar); spin_unlock(&bar); raw_spin_unlock(&foo); [ BUG: Invalid wait context ] ----------------------------- swapper/0/1 is trying to lock: ffffc90000013f20 (&bar){....}-{3:3}, at: kernel_init+0xdb/0x187 other info that might help us debug this: 1 lock held by swapper/0/1: #0: ffffc90000013ee0 (&foo){+.+.}-{2:2}, at: kernel_init+0xd1/0x187 The way to read it is to look at the new -{n,m} part in the lock description; -{3:3} for the attempted lock, and try and match that up to the held locks, which in this case is the one: -{2,2}. This tells that the acquiring lock requires a more relaxed environment than presented by the lock stack. Currently only the normal locks and RCU are converted, the rest of the lockdep users defaults to .inner = INV which is ignored. More conversions can be done when desired. The check for spinlock_t nesting is not enabled by default. It's a separate config option for now as there are known problems which are currently addressed. The config option allows to identify these problems and to verify that the solutions found are indeed solving them. The config switch will be removed and the checks will permanently enabled once the vast majority of issues has been addressed.

2020-02-24sched/pelt: Add a new runnable average signalVincent Guittot1-10/+16
Now that runnable_load_avg has been removed, we can replace it by a new signal that will highlight the runnable pressure on a cfs_rq. This signal track the waiting time of tasks on rq and can help to better define the state of rqs. At now, only util_avg is used to define the state of a rq: A rq with more that around 80% of utilization and more than 1 tasks is considered as overloaded. But the util_avg signal of a rq can become temporaly low after that a task migrated onto another rq which can bias the classification of the rq. When tasks compete for the same rq, their runnable average signal will be higher than util_avg as it will include the waiting time and we can use this signal to better classify cfs_rqs. The new runnable_avg will track the runnable time of a task which simply adds the waiting time to the running time. The runnable _avg of cfs_rq will be the /Sum of se's runnable_avg and the runnable_avg of group entity will follow the one of the rq similarly to util_avg.

git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/brauner/linux Pull thread management updates from Christian Brauner: "Sargun Dhillon over the last cycle has worked on the pidfd_getfd() syscall. This syscall allows for the retrieval of file descriptors of a process based on its pidfd. A task needs to have ptrace_may_access() permissions with PTRACE_MODE_ATTACH_REALCREDS (suggested by Oleg and Andy) on the target. One of the main use-cases is in combination with seccomp's user notification feature. As a reminder, seccomp's user notification feature was made available in v5.0. It allows a task to retrieve a file descriptor for its seccomp filter. The file descriptor is usually handed of to a more privileged supervising process. The supervisor can then listen for syscall events caught by the seccomp filter of the supervisee and perform actions in lieu of the supervisee, usually emulating syscalls. pidfd_getfd() is needed to expand its uses. There are currently two major users that wait on pidfd_getfd() and one future user: - Netflix, Sargun said, is working on a service mesh where users should be able to connect to a dns-based VIP. When a user connects to e.g. 1.2.3.4:80 that runs e.g. service "foo" they will be redirected to an envoy process. This service mesh uses seccomp user notifications and pidfd to intercept all connect calls and instead of connecting them to 1.2.3.4:80 connects them to e.g. 127.0.0.1:8080. - LXD uses the seccomp notifier heavily to intercept and emulate mknod() and mount() syscalls for unprivileged containers/processes. With pidfd_getfd() more uses-cases e.g. bridging socket connections will be possible. - The patchset has also seen some interest from the browser corner. Right now, Firefox is using a SECCOMP_RET_TRAP sandbox managed by a broker process. In the future glibc will start blocking all signals during dlopen() rendering this type of sandbox impossible. Hence, in the future Firefox will switch to a seccomp-user-nofication based sandbox which also makes use of file descriptor retrieval. The thread for this can be found at https://sourceware.org/ml/libc-alpha/2019-12/msg00079.html With pidfd_getfd() it is e.g. possible to bridge socket connections for the supervisee (binding to a privileged port) and taking actions on file descriptors on behalf of the supervisee in general. Sargun's first version was using an ioctl on pidfds but various people pushed for it to be a proper syscall which he duely implemented as well over various review cycles. Selftests are of course included. I've also added instructions how to deal with merge conflicts below. There's also a small fix coming from the kernel mentee project to correctly annotate struct sighand_struct with __rcu to fix various sparse warnings. We've received a few more such fixes and even though they are mostly trivial I've decided to postpone them until after -rc1 since they came in rather late and I don't want to risk introducing build warnings. Finally, there's a new prctl() command PR_{G,S}ET_IO_FLUSHER which is needed to avoid allocation recursions triggerable by storage drivers that have userspace parts that run in the IO path (e.g. dm-multipath, iscsi, etc). These allocation recursions deadlock the device. The new prctl() allows such privileged userspace components to avoid allocation recursions by setting the PF_MEMALLOC_NOIO and PF_LESS_THROTTLE flags. The patch carries the necessary acks from the relevant maintainers and is routed here as part of prctl() thread-management." * tag 'threads-v5.6' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/brauner/linux: prctl: PR_{G,S}ET_IO_FLUSHER to support controlling memory reclaim sched.h: Annotate sighand_struct with __rcu test: Add test for pidfd getfd arch: wire up pidfd_getfd syscall pid: Implement pidfd_getfd syscall vfs, fdtable: Add fget_task helper

2019-12-25rseq: Unregister rseq for clone CLONE_VMMathieu Desnoyers1-2/+2
It has been reported by Google that rseq is not behaving properly with respect to clone when CLONE_VM is used without CLONE_THREAD. It keeps the prior thread's rseq TLS registered when the TLS of the thread has moved, so the kernel can corrupt the TLS of the parent. The approach of clearing the per task-struct rseq registration on clone with CLONE_THREAD flag is incomplete. It does not cover the use-case of clone with CLONE_VM set, but without CLONE_THREAD. Here is the rationale for unregistering rseq on clone with CLONE_VM flag set: 1) CLONE_THREAD requires CLONE_SIGHAND, which requires CLONE_VM to be set. Therefore, just checking for CLONE_VM covers all CLONE_THREAD uses. There is no point in checking for both CLONE_THREAD and CLONE_VM, 2) There is the possibility of an unlikely scenario where CLONE_SETTLS is used without CLONE_VM. In order to be an issue, it would require that the rseq TLS is in a shared memory area. I do not plan on adding CLONE_SETTLS to the set of clone flags which unregister RSEQ, because it would require that we also unregister RSEQ on set_thread_area(2) and arch_prctl(2) ARCH_SET_FS for completeness. So rather than doing a partial solution, it appears better to let user-space explicitly perform rseq unregistration across clone if needed in scenarios where CLONE_VM is not set.

2019-12-04kcov: remote coverage supportAndrey Konovalov1-0/+8
Patch series " kcov: collect coverage from usb and vhost", v3. This patchset extends kcov to allow collecting coverage from backgound kernel threads. This extension requires custom annotations for each of the places where coverage collection is desired. This patchset implements this for hub events in the USB subsystem and for vhost workers. See the first patch description for details about the kcov extension. The other two patches apply this kcov extension to USB and vhost. Examples of other subsystems that might potentially benefit from this when custom annotations are added (the list is based on process_one_work() callers for bugs recently reported by syzbot): 1. fs: writeback wb_workfn() worker, 2. net: addrconf_dad_work()/addrconf_verify_work() workers, 3. net: neigh_periodic_work() worker, 4. net/p9: p9_write_work()/p9_read_work() workers, 5. block: blk_mq_run_work_fn() worker. These patches have been used to enable coverage-guided USB fuzzing with syzkaller for the last few years, see the details here: https://github.com/google/syzkaller/blob/master/docs/linux/external_fuzzing_usb.md This patchset has been pushed to the public Linux kernel Gerrit instance: https://linux-review.googlesource.com/c/linux/kernel/git/torvalds/linux/+/1524 This patch (of 3): Add background thread coverage collection ability to kcov. With KCOV_ENABLE coverage is collected only for syscalls that are issued from the current process. With KCOV_REMOTE_ENABLE it's possible to collect coverage for arbitrary parts of the kernel code, provided that those parts are annotated with kcov_remote_start()/kcov_remote_stop(). This allows to collect coverage from two types of kernel background threads: the global ones, that are spawned during kernel boot in a limited number of instances (e.g. one USB hub_event() worker thread is spawned per USB HCD); and the local ones, that are spawned when a user interacts with some kernel interface (e.g. vhost workers). To enable collecting coverage from a global background thread, a unique global handle must be assigned and passed to the corresponding kcov_remote_start() call. Then a userspace process can pass a list of such handles to the KCOV_REMOTE_ENABLE ioctl in the handles array field of the kcov_remote_arg struct. This will attach the used kcov device to the code sections, that are referenced by those handles. Since there might be many local background threads spawned from different userspace processes, we can't use a single global handle per annotation. Instead, the userspace process passes a non-zero handle through the common_handle field of the kcov_remote_arg struct. This common handle gets saved to the kcov_handle field in the current task_struct and needs to be passed to the newly spawned threads via custom annotations. Those threads should in turn be annotated with kcov_remote_start()/kcov_remote_stop(). Internally kcov stores handles as u64 integers. The top byte of a handle is used to denote the id of a subsystem that this handle belongs to, and the lower 4 bytes are used to denote the id of a thread instance within that subsystem. A reserved value 0 is used as a subsystem id for common handles as they don't belong to a particular subsystem. The bytes 4-7 are currently reserved and must be zero. In the future the number of bytes used for the subsystem or handle ids might be increased. When a particular userspace process collects coverage by via a common handle, kcov will collect coverage for each code section that is annotated to use the common handle obtained as kcov_handle from the current task_struct. However non common handles allow to collect coverage selectively from different subsystems.

2019-10-29io-wq: small threadpool implementation for io_uringJens Axboe1-0/+1
This adds support for io-wq, a smaller and specialized thread pool implementation. This is meant to replace workqueues for io_uring. Among the reasons for this addition are: - We can assign memory context smarter and more persistently if we manage the life time of threads. - We can drop various work-arounds we have in io_uring, like the async_list. - We can implement hashed work insertion, to manage concurrency of buffered writes without needing a) an extra workqueue, or b) needlessly making the concurrency of said workqueue very low which hurts performance of multiple buffered file writers. - We can implement cancel through signals, for cancelling interruptible work like read/write (or send/recv) to/from sockets. - We need the above cancel for being able to assign and use file tables from a process. - We can implement a more thorough cancel operation in general. - We need it to move towards a syslet/threadlet model for even faster async execution. For that we need to take ownership of the used threads. This list is just off the top of my head. Performance should be the same, or better, at least that's what I've seen in my testing. io-wq supports basic NUMA functionality, setting up a pool per node. io-wq hooks up to the scheduler schedule in/out just like workqueue and uses that to drive the need for more/less workers.

2019-10-16arm64: entry.S: Do not preempt from IRQ before all cpufeatures are enabledJulien Thierry1-0/+1
Preempting from IRQ-return means that the task has its PSTATE saved on the stack, which will get restored when the task is resumed and does the actual IRQ return. However, enabling some CPU features requires modifying the PSTATE. This means that, if a task was scheduled out during an IRQ-return before all CPU features are enabled, the task might restore a PSTATE that does not include the feature enablement changes once scheduled back in. * Task 1: PAN == 0 ---| |--------------- | |<- return from IRQ, PSTATE.PAN = 0 | <- IRQ | +--------+ <- preempt() +-- ^ | reschedule Task 1, PSTATE.PAN == 1 * Init: --------------------+------------------------ ^ | enable_cpu_features set PSTATE.PAN on all CPUs Worse than this, since PSTATE is untouched when task switching is done, a task missing the new bits in PSTATE might affect another task, if both do direct calls to schedule() (outside of IRQ/exception contexts). Fix this by preventing preemption on IRQ-return until features are enabled on all CPUs. This way the only PSTATE values that are saved on the stack are from synchronous exceptions. These are expected to be fatal this early, the exception is BRK for WARN_ON(), but as this uses do_debug_exception() which keeps IRQs masked, it shouldn't call schedule().

Add a count of the number of RCU users (currently 1) of the task struct so that we can later add the scheduler case and get rid of the very subtle task_rcu_dereference(), and just use rcu_dereference(). As suggested by Oleg have the count overlap rcu_head so that no additional space in task_struct is required.

2019-09-07kernel.h: Add non_block_start/end()Daniel Vetter1-0/+4
In some special cases we must not block, but there's not a spinlock, preempt-off, irqs-off or similar critical section already that arms the might_sleep() debug checks. Add a non_block_start/end() pair to annotate these. This will be used in the oom paths of mmu-notifiers, where blocking is not allowed to make sure there's forward progress. Quoting Michal: "The notifier is called from quite a restricted context - oom_reaper - which shouldn't depend on any locks or sleepable conditionals. The code should be swift as well but we mostly do care about it to make a forward progress. Checking for sleepable context is the best thing we could come up with that would describe these demands at least partially." Peter also asked whether we want to catch spinlocks on top, but Michal said those are less of a problem because spinlocks can't have an indirect dependency upon the page allocator and hence close the loop with the oom reaper.

2019-08-28posix-cpu-timers: Create a container structThomas Gleixner1-1/+3
Per task/process data of posix CPU timers is all over the place which makes the code hard to follow and requires ifdeffery. Create a container to hold all this information in one place, so data is consolidated and the ifdeffery can be confined to the posix timer header file and removed from places like fork. As a first step, move the cpu_timers list head array into the new struct and clean up the initializers and simplify fork. The remaining #ifdef in fork will be removed later.
