Crossrelease support added the CONFIG_LOCKDEP_CROSSRELEASE and CONFIG_LOCKDEP_COMPLETE
options. It makes little sense to enable them when PROVE_LOCKING is disabled.
Make them non-interative options and part of PROVE_LOCKING to simplify the UI.

This implements refcount_t overflow protection on x86 without a noticeable
performance impact, though without the fuller checking of REFCOUNT_FULL.
This is done by duplicating the existing atomic_t refcount implementation
but with normally a single instruction added to detect if the refcount
has gone negative (e.g. wrapped past INT_MAX or below zero). When detected,
the handler saturates the refcount_t to INT_MIN / 2. With this overflow
protection, the erroneous reference release that would follow a wrap back
to zero is blocked from happening, avoiding the class of refcount-overflow
use-after-free vulnerabilities entirely.
Only the overflow case of refcounting can be perfectly protected, since
it can be detected and stopped before the reference is freed and left to
be abused by an attacker. There isn't a way to block early decrements,
and while REFCOUNT_FULL stops increment-from-zero cases (which would
be the state _after_ an early decrement and stops potential double-free
conditions), this fast implementation does not, since it would require
the more expensive cmpxchg loops. Since the overflow case is much more
common (e.g. missing a "put" during an error path), this protection
provides real-world protection. For example, the two public refcount
overflow use-after-free exploits published in 2016 would have been
rendered unexploitable:
http://perception-point.io/2016/01/14/analysis-and-exploitation-of-a-linux-kernel-vulnerability-cve-2016-0728/
http://cyseclabs.com/page?n=02012016
This implementation does, however, notice an unchecked decrement to zero
(i.e. caller used refcount_dec() instead of refcount_dec_and_test() and it
resulted in a zero). Decrements under zero are noticed (since they will
have resulted in a negative value), though this only indicates that a
use-after-free may have already happened. Such notifications are likely
avoidable by an attacker that has already exploited a use-after-free
vulnerability, but it's better to have them reported than allow such
conditions to remain universally silent.
On first overflow detection, the refcount value is reset to INT_MIN / 2
(which serves as a saturation value) and a report and stack trace are
produced. When operations detect only negative value results (such as
changing an already saturated value), saturation still happens but no
notification is performed (since the value was already saturated).
On the matter of races, since the entire range beyond INT_MAX but before
0 is negative, every operation at INT_MIN / 2 will trap, leaving no
overflow-only race condition.
As for performance, this implementation adds a single "js" instruction
to the regular execution flow of a copy of the standard atomic_t refcount
operations. (The non-"and_test" refcount_dec() function, which is uncommon
in regular refcount design patterns, has an additional "jz" instruction
to detect reaching exactly zero.) Since this is a forward jump, it is by
default the non-predicted path, which will be reinforced by dynamic branch
prediction. The result is this protection having virtually no measurable
change in performance over standard atomic_t operations. The error path,
located in .text.unlikely, saves the refcount location and then uses UD0
to fire a refcount exception handler, which resets the refcount, handles
reporting, and returns to regular execution. This keeps the changes to
.text size minimal, avoiding return jumps and open-coded calls to the
error reporting routine.
Example assembly comparison:
refcount_inc() before:
.text:
ffffffff81546149: f0 ff 45 f4 lock incl -0xc(%rbp)
refcount_inc() after:
.text:
ffffffff81546149: f0 ff 45 f4 lock incl -0xc(%rbp)
ffffffff8154614d: 0f 88 80 d5 17 00 js ffffffff816c36d3
...
.text.unlikely:
ffffffff816c36d3: 48 8d 4d f4 lea -0xc(%rbp),%rcx
ffffffff816c36d7: 0f ff (bad)
These are the cycle counts comparing a loop of refcount_inc() from 1
to INT_MAX and back down to 0 (via refcount_dec_and_test()), between
unprotected refcount_t (atomic_t), fully protected REFCOUNT_FULL
(refcount_t-full), and this overflow-protected refcount (refcount_t-fast):
2147483646 refcount_inc()s and 2147483647 refcount_dec_and_test()s:
cycles protections
atomic_t 82249267387 none
refcount_t-fast 82211446892 overflow, untested dec-to-zero
refcount_t-full 144814735193 overflow, untested dec-to-zero, inc-from-zero
This code is a modified version of the x86 PAX_REFCOUNT atomic_t
overflow defense from the last public patch of PaX/grsecurity, based
on my understanding of the code. Changes or omissions from the original
code are mine and don't reflect the original grsecurity/PaX code. Thanks
to PaX Team for various suggestions for improvement for repurposing this
code to be a refcount-only protection.

As Boqun Feng pointed out, current->hist_id should be aligned with the
latest valid xhlock->hist_id so that hist_id_save[] storing current->hist_id
can be comparable with xhlock->hist_id. Fix it.
Additionally, the condition for overwrite-detection should be the
opposite. Fix the code and the comments as well.

lockdep_sys_exit()
In lockdep_sys_exit(), crossrelease_hist_end() is called unconditionally
even when getting here without having started e.g. just after forking.
But it's no problem since it would roll back to an invalid entry anyway.

Merge commit:
040cca3ab2f6 ("Merge branch 'linus' into locking/core, to resolve conflicts")
overlooked the fact that do_huge_pmd_numa_page() now does two TLB
flushes. Commit:
8b1b436dd1cc ("mm, locking: Rework {set,clear,mm}_tlb_flush_pending()")
and commit:
a9b802500ebb ("Revert "mm: numa: defer TLB flush for THP migration as long as possible"")
Both moved the TLB flush around but slightly different, the end result
being that what was one became two.
Clean this up.

When the process exit races with outstanding mcopy_atomic, it would be
better to return ESRCH error. When such race occurs the process and
it's mm are going away and returning "no such process" to the uffd
monitor seems better fit than ENOSPC.

comp_algorithm_store() passes the size of the source buffer to strlcpy()
instead of the destination buffer size. Make it explicit that the two
buffers have the same size and use strcpy() instead of strlcpy(). The
latter can be done safely since the function ensures that the string in
the source buffer is terminated.

The problem is that shmem_unused_huge_shrink() moves entries from the
global sbinfo->shrinklist to its local lists and then releases the
spinlock. However, a parallel shmem_setattr() could access one of these
entries directly and add it back to the global shrinklist if it is
removed, with the spinlock held.
The logic itself looks solid since an entry could be either in a local
list or the global list, otherwise it is removed from one of them by
list_del_init(). So probably the race condition is that, one CPU is in
the middle of INIT_LIST_HEAD() but the other CPU calls list_empty()
which returns true too early then the following list_add_tail() sees a
corrupted entry.
list_empty_careful() is designed to fix this situation.

Revert commit bb01b64cfab7 ("mm/balloon_compaction.c: enqueue zero page
to balloon device")'
Zeroing ballon pages is rather time consuming, especially when a lot of
pages are in flight. E.g. 7GB worth of ballooned memory takes 2.8s with
__GFP_ZERO while it takes ~491ms without it.
The original commit argued that zeroing will help ksmd to merge these
pages on the host but this argument is assuming that the host actually
marks balloon pages for ksm which is not universally true. So we pay
performance penalty for something that even might not be used in the end
which is wrong. The host can zero out pages on its own when there is a
need.

Nadav reported KSM can corrupt the user data by the TLB batching
race[1]. That means data user written can be lost.
Quote from Nadav Amit:
"For this race we need 4 CPUs:
CPU0: Caches a writable and dirty PTE entry, and uses the stale value
for write later.
CPU1: Runs madvise_free on the range that includes the PTE. It would
clear the dirty-bit. It batches TLB flushes.
CPU2: Writes 4 to /proc/PID/clear_refs , clearing the PTEs soft-dirty.
We care about the fact that it clears the PTE write-bit, and of
course, batches TLB flushes.
CPU3: Runs KSM. Our purpose is to pass the following test in
write_protect_page():
if (pte_write(*pvmw.pte) || pte_dirty(*pvmw.pte) ||
(pte_protnone(*pvmw.pte) && pte_savedwrite(*pvmw.pte)))
Since it will avoid TLB flush. And we want to do it while the PTE is
stale. Later, and before replacing the page, we would be able to
change the page.
Note that all the operations the CPU1-3 perform canhappen in parallel
since they only acquire mmap_sem for read.
We start with two identical pages. Everything below regards the same
page/PTE.
CPU0 CPU1 CPU2 CPU3
---- ---- ---- ----
Write the same
value on page
[cache PTE as
dirty in TLB]
MADV_FREE
pte_mkclean()
4 > clear_refs
pte_wrprotect()
write_protect_page()
[ success, no flush ]
pages_indentical()
[ ok ]
Write to page
different value
[Ok, using stale
PTE]
replace_page()
Later, CPU1, CPU2 and CPU3 would flush the TLB, but that is too late.
CPU0 already wrote on the page, but KSM ignored this write, and it got
lost"
In above scenario, MADV_FREE is fixed by changing TLB batching API
including [set|clear]_tlb_flush_pending. Remained thing is soft-dirty
part.
This patch changes soft-dirty uses TLB batching API instead of
flush_tlb_mm and KSM checks pending TLB flush by using
mm_tlb_flush_pending so that it will flush TLB to avoid data lost if
there are other parallel threads pending TLB flush.

Nadav reported parallel MADV_DONTNEED on same range has a stale TLB
problem and Mel fixed it[1] and found same problem on MADV_FREE[2].
Quote from Mel Gorman:
"The race in question is CPU 0 running madv_free and updating some PTEs
while CPU 1 is also running madv_free and looking at the same PTEs.
CPU 1 may have writable TLB entries for a page but fail the pte_dirty
check (because CPU 0 has updated it already) and potentially fail to
flush.
Hence, when madv_free on CPU 1 returns, there are still potentially
writable TLB entries and the underlying PTE is still present so that a
subsequent write does not necessarily propagate the dirty bit to the
underlying PTE any more. Reclaim at some unknown time at the future
may then see that the PTE is still clean and discard the page even
though a write has happened in the meantime. I think this is possible
but I could have missed some protection in madv_free that prevents it
happening."
This patch aims for solving both problems all at once and is ready for
other problem with KSM, MADV_FREE and soft-dirty story[3].
TLB batch API(tlb_[gather|finish]_mmu] uses [inc|dec]_tlb_flush_pending
and mmu_tlb_flush_pending so that when tlb_finish_mmu is called, we can
catch there are parallel threads going on. In that case, forcefully,
flush TLB to prevent for user to access memory via stale TLB entry
although it fail to gather page table entry.
I confirmed this patch works with [4] test program Nadav gave so this
patch supersedes "mm: Always flush VMA ranges affected by zap_page_range
v2" in current mmotm.
NOTE:
This patch modifies arch-specific TLB gathering interface(x86, ia64,
s390, sh, um). It seems most of architecture are straightforward but
s390 need to be careful because tlb_flush_mmu works only if
mm->context.flush_mm is set to non-zero which happens only a pte entry
really is cleared by ptep_get_and_clear and friends. However, this
problem never changes the pte entries but need to flush to prevent
memory access from stale tlb.

Currently, tlb_flush_pending is used only for CONFIG_[NUMA_BALANCING|
COMPACTION] but upcoming patches to solve subtle TLB flush batching
problem will use it regardless of compaction/NUMA so this patch doesn't
remove the dependency.

This patch is a preparatory patch for solving race problems caused by
TLB batch. For that, we will increase/decrease TLB flush pending count
of mm_struct whenever tlb_[gather|finish]_mmu is called.
Before making it simple, this patch separates architecture specific part
and rename it to arch_tlb_[gather|finish]_mmu and generic part just
calls it.
It shouldn't change any behavior.

While deferring TLB flushes is a good practice, the reverted patch
caused pending TLB flushes to be checked while the page-table lock is
not taken. As a result, in architectures with weak memory model (PPC),
Linux may miss a memory-barrier, miss the fact TLB flushes are pending,
and cause (in theory) a memory corruption.
Since the alternative of using smp_mb__after_unlock_lock() was
considered a bit open-coded, and the performance impact is expected to
be small, the previous patch is reverted.
This reverts b0943d61b8fa ("mm: numa: defer TLB flush for THP migration
as long as possible").

Reading tlb_flush_pending while the page-table lock is taken does not
require a barrier, since the lock/unlock already acts as a barrier.
Removing the barrier in mm_tlb_flush_pending() to address this issue.
However, migrate_misplaced_transhuge_page() calls mm_tlb_flush_pending()
while the page-table lock is already released, which may present a
problem on architectures with weak memory model (PPC). To deal with
this case, a new parameter is added to mm_tlb_flush_pending() to
indicate if it is read without the page-table lock taken, and calling
smp_mb__after_unlock_lock() in this case.

Patch series "fixes of TLB batching races", v6.
It turns out that Linux TLB batching mechanism suffers from various
races. Races that are caused due to batching during reclamation were
recently handled by Mel and this patch-set deals with others. The more
fundamental issue is that concurrent updates of the page-tables allow
for TLB flushes to be batched on one core, while another core changes
the page-tables. This other core may assume a PTE change does not
require a flush based on the updated PTE value, while it is unaware that
TLB flushes are still pending.
This behavior affects KSM (which may result in memory corruption) and
MADV_FREE and MADV_DONTNEED (which may result in incorrect behavior). A
proof-of-concept can easily produce the wrong behavior of MADV_DONTNEED.
Memory corruption in KSM is harder to produce in practice, but was
observed by hacking the kernel and adding a delay before flushing and
replacing the KSM page.
Finally, there is also one memory barrier missing, which may affect
architectures with weak memory model.
This patch (of 7):
Setting and clearing mm->tlb_flush_pending can be performed by multiple
threads, since mmap_sem may only be acquired for read in
task_numa_work(). If this happens, tlb_flush_pending might be cleared
while one of the threads still changes PTEs and batches TLB flushes.
This can lead to the same race between migration and
change_protection_range() that led to the introduction of
tlb_flush_pending. The result of this race was data corruption, which
means that this patch also addresses a theoretically possible data
corruption.
An actual data corruption was not observed, yet the race was was
confirmed by adding assertion to check tlb_flush_pending is not set by
two threads, adding artificial latency in change_protection_range() and
using sysctl to reduce kernel.numa_balancing_scan_delay_ms.

We accidentally just drop the lock twice instead of taking it and then
releasing it. This isn't a big issue unless you are adding more than
one device to test on, and the kmod.sh doesn't do that yet, however this
obviously is the correct thing to do.

Parsing with kstrtol() enables values to be negative, and we failed to
check for negative values when parsing with test_dev_config_update_uint_sync()
or test_dev_config_update_uint_range().
test_dev_config_update_uint_range() has a minimum check though so an
issue is not present there. test_dev_config_update_uint_sync() is only
used for the number of threads to use (config_num_threads_store()), and
indeed this would fail with an attempt for a large allocation.
Although the issue is only present in practice with the first fix both
by using kstrtoul() instead of kstrtol().

The error returned was -EEXIST by running UFFDIO_COPY on a non-hole

triggered it and the kernel must cope with it returning -EEXIST from

The RDMA subsystem can generate several thousand of these messages per
second eventually leading to a kernel crash. Ratelimit these messages
to prevent this crash.
Doug said:
"I've been carrying a version of this for several kernel versions. I
don't remember when they started, but we have one (and only one) class
of machines: Dell PE R730xd, that generate these errors. When it
happens, without a rate limit, we get rcu timeouts and kernel oopses.
With the rate limit, we just get a lot of annoying kernel messages but
the machine continues on, recovers, and eventually the memory
operations all succeed"
And:
"> Well... why are all these EBUSY's occurring? It sounds inefficient
> (at least) but if it is expected, normal and unavoidable then
> perhaps we should just remove that message altogether?
I don't have an answer to that question. To be honest, I haven't
looked real hard. We never had this at all, then it started out of the
blue, but only on our Dell 730xd machines (and it hits all of them),
but no other classes or brands of machines. And we have our 730xd
machines loaded up with different brands and models of cards (for
instance one dedicated to mlx4 hardware, one for qib, one for mlx5, an
ocrdma/cxgb4 combo, etc), so the fact that it hit all of the machines
meant it wasn't tied to any particular brand/model of RDMA hardware.
To me, it always smelled of a hardware oddity specific to maybe the
CPUs or mainboard chipsets in these machines, so given that I'm not an
mm expert anyway, I never chased it down.
A few other relevant details: it showed up somewhere around 4.8/4.9 or
thereabouts. It never happened before, but the prinkt has been there
since the 3.18 days, so possibly the test to trigger this message was
changed, or something else in the allocator changed such that the
situation started happening on these machines?
And, like I said, it is specific to our 730xd machines (but they are
all identical, so that could mean it's something like their specific
ram configuration is causing the allocator to hit this on these
machine but not on other machines in the cluster, I don't want to say
it's necessarily the model of chipset or CPU, there are other bits of
identicalness between these machines)"

As Tetsuo points out:
"Commit 385386cff4c6 ("mm: vmstat: move slab statistics from zone to
node counters") broke "Slab:" field of /proc/meminfo . It shows nearly
0kB"
In addition to /proc/meminfo, this problem also affects the slab
counters OOM/allocation failure info dumps, can cause early -ENOMEM from
overcommit protection, and miscalculate image size requirements during
suspend-to-disk.
This is because the patch in question switched the slab counters from
the zone level to the node level, but forgot to update the global
accessor functions to read the aggregate node data instead of the
aggregate zone data.
Use global_node_page_state() to access the global slab counters.

Although wait_for_completion() and its family can cause deadlock, the
lock correctness validator could not be applied to them until now,
because things like complete() are usually called in a different context
from the waiting context, which violates lockdep's assumption.
Thanks to CONFIG_LOCKDEP_CROSSRELEASE, we can now apply the lockdep
detector to those completion operations. Applied it.

No acquisition might be in progress on commit of a crosslock. Completion
operations enabling crossrelease are the case like:
CONTEXT X CONTEXT Y
--------- ---------
trigger completion context
complete AX
commit AX
wait_for_complete AX
acquire AX
wait
where AX is a crosslock.
When no acquisition is in progress, we should not perform commit because
the lock does not exist, which might cause incorrect memory access. So
we have to track the number of acquisitions of a crosslock to handle it.
Moreover, in case that more than one acquisition of a crosslock are
overlapped like:
CONTEXT W CONTEXT X CONTEXT Y CONTEXT Z
--------- --------- --------- ---------
acquire AX (gen_id: 1)
acquire A
acquire AX (gen_id: 10)
acquire B
commit AX
acquire C
commit AX
where A, B and C are typical locks and AX is a crosslock.
Current crossrelease code performs commits in Y and Z with gen_id = 10.
However, we can use gen_id = 1 to do it, since not only 'acquire AX in X'
but 'acquire AX in W' also depends on each acquisition in Y and Z until
their commits. So make it use gen_id = 1 instead of 10 on their commits,
which adds an additional dependency 'AX -> A' in the example above.

The ring buffer can be overwritten by hardirq/softirq/work contexts.
That cases must be considered on rollback or commit. For example,
|<------ hist_lock ring buffer size ----->|
ppppppppppppiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiii
wrapped > iiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiii....................
where 'p' represents an acquisition in process context,
'i' represents an acquisition in irq context.
On irq exit, crossrelease tries to rollback idx to original position,
but it should not because the entry already has been invalid by
overwriting 'i'. Avoid rollback or commit for entries overwritten.

Lockdep is a runtime locking correctness validator that detects and
reports a deadlock or its possibility by checking dependencies between
locks. It's useful since it does not report just an actual deadlock but
also the possibility of a deadlock that has not actually happened yet.
That enables problems to be fixed before they affect real systems.
However, this facility is only applicable to typical locks, such as
spinlocks and mutexes, which are normally released within the context in
which they were acquired. However, synchronization primitives like page
locks or completions, which are allowed to be released in any context,
also create dependencies and can cause a deadlock.
So lockdep should track these locks to do a better job. The 'crossrelease'
implementation makes these primitives also be tracked.

Currently, a space for stack_trace is pinned in check_prev_add(), that
makes us not able to use external stack_trace. The simplest way to
achieve it is to pass an external stack_trace as an argument.
A more suitable solution is to pass a callback additionally along with
a stack_trace so that callers can decide the way to save or whether to
save. Actually crossrelease needs to do other than saving a stack_trace.
So pass a stack_trace and callback to handle it, to check_prev_add().

Firstly, return 1 instead of 2 when 'prev -> next' dependency already
exists. Since the value 2 is not referenced anywhere, just return 1
indicating success in this case.
Secondly, return 2 instead of 1 when successfully added a lock_list
entry with saving stack_trace. With that, a caller can decide whether
to avoid redundant save_trace() on the caller site.

Currently, lookup_chain_cache() provides both 'lookup' and 'add'
functionalities in a function. However, each is useful. So this

makes add_chain_cahce() only do 'add' functionality. And it's more

Two boots + a make defconfig, the first didn't have the redundant bit
in, the second did:
lock-classes: 1168 1169 [max: 8191]
direct dependencies: 7688 5812 [max: 32768]
indirect dependencies: 25492 25937
all direct dependencies: 220113 217512
dependency chains: 9005 9008 [max: 65536]
dependency chain hlocks: 34450 34366 [max: 327680]
in-hardirq chains: 55 51
in-softirq chains: 371 378
in-process chains: 8579 8579
stack-trace entries: 108073 88474 [max: 524288]
combined max dependencies: 178738560 169094640
max locking depth: 15 15
max bfs queue depth: 320 329
cyclic checks: 9123 9190
redundant checks: 5046
redundant links: 1828
find-mask forwards checks: 2564 2599
find-mask backwards checks: 39521 39789
So it saves nearly 2k links and a fair chunk of stack-trace entries, but
as expected, makes no real difference on the indirect dependencies.
At the same time, you see the max BFS depth increase, which is also
expected, although it could easily be boot variance -- these numbers are
not entirely stable between boots.
The down side is that the cycles in the graph become larger and thus
the reports harder to read.

A while ago someone, and I cannot find the email just now, asked if we
could not implement the RECLAIM_FS inversion stuff with a 'fake' lock
like we use for other things like workqueues etc. I think this should
be possible which allows reducing the 'irq' states and will reduce the
amount of __bfs() lookups we do.
Removing the 1 IRQ state results in 4 less __bfs() walks per
dependency, improving lockdep performance. And by moving this
annotation out of the lockdep code it becomes easier for the mm people
to extend.

Since its inception, our understanding of ACQUIRE, esp. as applied to
spinlocks, has changed somewhat. Also, I wonder if, with a simple
change, we cannot make it provide more.
The problem with the comment is that the STORE done by spin_lock isn't
itself ordered by the ACQUIRE, and therefore a later LOAD can pass over
it and cross with any prior STORE, rendering the default WMB
insufficient (pointed out by Alan).
Now, this is only really a problem on PowerPC and ARM64, both of
which already defined smp_mb__before_spinlock() as a smp_mb().
At the same time, we can get a much stronger construct if we place
that same barrier _inside_ the spin_lock(). In that case we upgrade
the RCpc spinlock to an RCsc. That would make all schedule() calls
fully transitive against one another.

While we could replace the smp_mb__before_spinlock() with the new
smp_mb__after_spinlock(), the normal pattern is to use
smp_store_release() to publish an object that is used for
lockless_dereference() -- and mirrors the regular rcu_assign_pointer()
/ rcu_dereference() patterns.

Commit:
af2c1401e6f9 ("mm: numa: guarantee that tlb_flush_pending updates are visible before page table updates")
added smp_mb__before_spinlock() to set_tlb_flush_pending(). I think we
can solve the same problem without this barrier.
If instead we mandate that mm_tlb_flush_pending() is used while
holding the PTL we're guaranteed to observe prior
set_tlb_flush_pending() instances.
For this to work we need to rework migrate_misplaced_transhuge_page()
a little and move the test up into do_huge_pmd_numa_page().
NOTE: this relies on flush_tlb_range() to guarantee:
(1) it ensures that prior page table updates are visible to the
page table walker and
(2) it ensures that subsequent memory accesses are only made
visible after the invalidation has completed
This is required for architectures that implement TRANSPARENT_HUGEPAGE
(arc, arm, arm64, mips, powerpc, s390, sparc, x86) or otherwise use
mm_tlb_flush_pending() in their page-table operations (arm, arm64,
x86).
This appears true for:
- arm (DSB ISB before and after),
- arm64 (DSB ISHST before, and DSB ISH after),
- powerpc (PTESYNC before and after),
- s390 and x86 TLB invalidate are serializing instructions
But I failed to understand the situation for:
- arc, mips, sparc
Now SPARC64 is a wee bit special in that flush_tlb_range() is a no-op
and it flushes the TLBs using arch_{enter,leave}_lazy_mmu_mode()
inside the PTL. It still needs to guarantee the PTL unlock happens
_after_ the invalidate completes.
