- Add support to measure SMI cost to the x86 architecture, with
tooling support in 'perf stat' (Kan Liang)
- Support function filtering in 'perf ftrace', plus related
improvements (Namhyung Kim)

Pull locking updates from Ingo Molnar:
"The main changes in this cycle were:
- Add CONFIG_REFCOUNT_FULL=y to allow the disabling of the 'full'
(robustness checked) refcount_t implementation with slightly lower
runtime overhead. (Kees Cook)
The lighter weight variant is the default. The two variants use the
same API. Having this variant was a precondition by some
maintainers to merge refcount_t cleanups.

Pull objtool updates from Ingo Molnar:
"This is an extensive rewrite of the objdump tool to track all stack
pointer modifications through the machine instructions of disassembled

Pull core block/IO updates from Jens Axboe:
"This is the main pull request for the block layer for 4.13. Not a huge
round in terms of features, but there's a lot of churn related to some
core cleanups.
Note this depends on the UUID tree pull request, that Christoph
already sent out.
This pull request contains:
- A series from Christoph, unifying the error/stats codes in the
block layer. We now use blk_status_t everywhere, instead of using
different schemes for different places.
- Also from Christoph, some cleanups around request allocation and IO
scheduler interactions in blk-mq.
- And yet another series from Christoph, cleaning up how we handle
and do bounce buffering in the block layer.
- A blk-mq debugfs series from Bart, further improving on the support
we have for exporting internal information to aid debugging IO
hangs or stalls.
- Also from Bart, a series that cleans up the request initialization
differences across types of devices.
- A series from Goldwyn Rodrigues, allowing the block layer to return
failure if we will block and the user asked for non-blocking.
- Patch from Hannes for supporting setting loop devices block size to
that of the underlying device.
- Two series of patches from Javier, fixing various issues with
lightnvm, particular around pblk.
- A series from me, adding support for write hints. This comes with
NVMe support as well, so applications can help guide data placement
on flash to improve performance, latencies, and write
amplification.
- A series from Ming, improving and hardening blk-mq support for
stopping/starting and quiescing hardware queues.
- Two pull requests for NVMe updates. Nothing major on the feature
side, but lots of cleanups and bug fixes. From the usual crew.
- A series from Neil Brown, greatly improving the bio rescue set
support. Most notably, this kills the bio rescue work queues, if we
don't really need them.
- Lots of other little bug fixes that are all over the place"

In preparation for an objtool rewrite which will have broader checks,
whitelist functions and files which cause problems because they do
unusual things with the stack.
These whitelists serve as a TODO list for which functions and files
don't yet have undwarf unwinder coverage. Eventually most of the
whitelists can be removed in favor of manual CFI hint annotations or
objtool improvements.

Always try to parse an address, since kstrtoul() will safely fail when
given a symbol as input. If that fails (which will be the case for a
symbol), try to parse a symbol instead.
This allows creating a probe such as:
p:probe/vlan_gro_receive 8021q:vlan_gro_receive+0
Which is necessary for this command to work:
perf probe -m 8021q -a vlan_gro_receive

Leaking kernel addresses on unpriviledged is generally disallowed,
for example, verifier rejects the following:
0: (b7) r0 = 0
1: (18) r2 = 0xffff897e82304400
3: (7b) *(u64 *)(r1 +48) = r2
R2 leaks addr into ctx
Doing pointer arithmetic on them is also forbidden, so that they
don't turn into unknown value and then get leaked out. However,
there's xadd as a special case, where we don't check the src reg
for being a pointer register, e.g. the following will pass:
0: (b7) r0 = 0
1: (7b) *(u64 *)(r1 +48) = r0
2: (18) r2 = 0xffff897e82304400 ; map
4: (db) lock *(u64 *)(r1 +48) += r2
5: (95) exit
We could store the pointer into skb->cb, loose the type context,
and then read it out from there again to leak it eventually out
of a map value. Or more easily in a different variant, too:
0: (bf) r6 = r1
1: (7a) *(u64 *)(r10 -8) = 0
2: (bf) r2 = r10
3: (07) r2 += -8
4: (18) r1 = 0x0
6: (85) call bpf_map_lookup_elem#1
7: (15) if r0 == 0x0 goto pc+3
R0=map_value(ks=8,vs=8,id=0),min_value=0,max_value=0 R6=ctx R10=fp
8: (b7) r3 = 0
9: (7b) *(u64 *)(r0 +0) = r3
10: (db) lock *(u64 *)(r0 +0) += r6
11: (b7) r0 = 0
12: (95) exit
from 7 to 11: R0=inv,min_value=0,max_value=0 R6=ctx R10=fp
11: (b7) r0 = 0
12: (95) exit
Prevent this by checking xadd src reg for pointer types. Also
add a couple of test cases related to this.

When doing the following command:
# echo ":mod:kvm_intel" > /sys/kernel/tracing/stack_trace_filter
it triggered a crash.
This happened with the clean up of probes. It required all callers to the
regex function (doing ftrace filtering) to have ops->private be a pointer to
a trace_array. But for the stack tracer, that is not the case.
Allow for the ops->private to be NULL, and change the function command
callbacks to handle the trace_array pointer being NULL as well.

If the event for which an AUX area is about to be allocated, does
not support setting up an AUX area, rb_alloc_aux() return -ENOTSUPP.
This error condition is being returned unfiltered to the user space,
and, for example, the perf tools fails with:
failed to mmap with 524 (INTERNAL ERROR: strerror_r(524, 0x3fff497a1c8, 512)=22)
This error can be easily seen with "perf record -m 128,256 -e cpu-clock".
The 524 error code maps to -ENOTSUPP (in rb_alloc_aux()). The -ENOTSUPP
error code shall be only used within the kernel. So the correct error
code would then be -EOPNOTSUPP.
With this commit, the perf tool then reports:
failed to mmap with 95 (Operation not supported)
which is more clear.

rcu_read_(un)lock(), list_*_rcu(), and synchronize_rcu() are used for a secure
access and manipulation of the list of patches that modify the same function.
In particular, it is the variable func_stack that is accessible from the ftrace
handler via struct ftrace_ops and klp_ops.
Of course, it synchronizes also some states of the patch on the top of the
stack, e.g. func->transition in klp_ftrace_handler.
At the same time, this mechanism guards also the manipulation of
task->patch_state. It is modified according to the state of the transition and
the state of the process.
Now, all this works well as long as RCU works well. Sadly livepatching might
get into some corner cases when this is not true. For example, RCU is not
watching when rcu_read_lock() is taken in idle threads. It is because they
might sleep and prevent reaching the grace period for too long.
There are ways how to make RCU watching even in idle threads, see
rcu_irq_enter(). But there is a small location inside RCU infrastructure when
even this does not work.
This small problematic location can be detected either before calling
rcu_irq_enter() by rcu_irq_enter_disabled() or later by rcu_is_watching().
Sadly, there is no safe way how to handle it. Once we detect that RCU was not
watching, we might see inconsistent state of the function stack and the related
variables in klp_ftrace_handler(). Then we could do a wrong decision, use an
incompatible implementation of the function and break the consistency of the
system. We could warn but we could not avoid the damage.
Fortunately, ftrace has similar problems and they seem to be solved well there.
It uses a heavy weight implementation of some RCU operations. In particular, it
replaces:
+ rcu_read_lock() with preempt_disable_notrace()
+ rcu_read_unlock() with preempt_enable_notrace()
+ synchronize_rcu() with schedule_on_each_cpu(sync_work)
My understanding is that this is RCU implementation from a stone age. It meets
the core RCU requirements but it is rather ineffective. Especially, it does not
allow to batch or speed up the synchronize calls.
On the other hand, it is very trivial. It allows to safely trace and/or
livepatch even the RCU core infrastructure. And the effectiveness is a not a
big issue because using ftrace or livepatches on productive systems is a rare
operation. The safety is much more important than a negligible extra load.
Note that the alternative implementation follows the RCU principles. Therefore,
we could and actually must use list_*_rcu() variants when manipulating the
func_stack. These functions allow to access the pointers in the right
order and with the right barriers. But they do not use any other
information that would be set only by rcu_read_lock().
Also note that there are actually two problems solved in ftrace:
First, it cares about the consistency of RCU read sections. It is being solved
the way as described and used in this patch.
Second, ftrace needs to make sure that nobody is inside the dynamic trampoline
when it is being freed. For this, it also calls synchronize_rcu_tasks() in
preemptive kernel in ftrace_shutdown().
Livepatch has similar problem but it is solved by ftrace for free.
klp_ftrace_handler() is a good guy and never sleeps. In addition, it is
registered with FTRACE_OPS_FL_DYNAMIC. It causes that
unregister_ftrace_function() calls:
* schedule_on_each_cpu(ftrace_sync) - always
* synchronize_rcu_tasks() - in preemptive kernel
The effect is that nobody is neither inside the dynamic trampoline nor inside
the ftrace handler after unregister_ftrace_function() returns.

Due to how the MONOTONIC_RAW accumulation logic was handled,
there is the potential for a 1ns discontinuity when we do
accumulations. This small discontinuity has for the most part
gone un-noticed, but since ARM64 enabled CLOCK_MONOTONIC_RAW
in their vDSO clock_gettime implementation, we've seen failures
with the inconsistency-check test in kselftest.
This patch addresses the issue by using the same sub-ns
accumulation handling that CLOCK_MONOTONIC uses, which avoids
the issue for in-kernel users.
Since the ARM64 vDSO implementation has its own clock_gettime
calculation logic, this patch reduces the frequency of errors,
but failures are still seen. The ARM64 vDSO will need to be
updated to include the sub-nanosecond xtime_nsec values in its
calculation for this issue to be completely fixed.

In tests, which excercise switching of clocksources, a NULL
pointer dereference can be observed on AMR64 platforms in the
clocksource read() function:
u64 clocksource_mmio_readl_down(struct clocksource *c)
{
return ~(u64)readl_relaxed(to_mmio_clksrc(c)->reg) & c->mask;
}
This is called from the core timekeeping code via:
cycle_now = tkr->read(tkr->clock);
tkr->read is the cached tkr->clock->read() function pointer.
When the clocksource is changed then tkr->clock and tkr->read
are updated sequentially. The code above results in a sequential
load operation of tkr->read and tkr->clock as well.
If the store to tkr->clock hits between the loads of tkr->read
and tkr->clock, then the old read() function is called with the
new clock pointer. As a consequence the read() function
dereferences a different data structure and the resulting 'reg'
pointer can point anywhere including NULL.
This problem was introduced when the timekeeping code was
switched over to use struct tk_read_base. Before that, it was
theoretically possible as well when the compiler decided to
reload clock in the code sequence:
now = tk->clock->read(tk->clock);
Add a helper function which avoids the issue by reading
tk_read_base->clock once into a local variable clk and then issue
the read function via clk->read(clk). This guarantees that the
read() function always gets the proper clocksource pointer handed
in.
Since there is now no use for the tkr.read pointer, this patch
also removes it, and to address stopping the fast timekeeper
during suspend/resume, it introduces a dummy clocksource to use
rather then just a dummy read function.

This problem has existed since the posix timer code was merged into
2.5.63. A few releases earlier in 2.5.60 ptrace gained the ability to
inject not just a signal (which linux has supported since 1.0) but the
full siginfo of a signal.
The core problem is that the code will reschedule in response to
signals getting dequeued not just for signals the timers sent but
for other signals that happen to a si_code of SI_TIMER.
Avoid this confusion by testing to see if the queued signal was
preallocated as all timer signals are preallocated, and so far
only the timer code preallocates signals.
Move the check for if a timer needs to be rescheduled up into
collect_signal where the preallocation check must be performed,
and pass the result back to dequeue_signal where the code reschedules
timers. This makes it clear why the code cares about preallocated
timers.

idle_task_exit() can be called with IRQs on x86 on and therefore
should use switch_mm(), not switch_mm_irqs_off().
This doesn't seem to cause any problems right now, but it will
confuse my upcoming TLB flush changes. Nonetheless, I think it
should be backported because it's trivial. There won't be any
meaningful performance impact because idle_task_exit() is only
used when offlining a CPU.
