2017-09-03ipc: mqueue: Replace timespec with timespec64Deepa Dinamani2-7/+7
struct timespec is not y2038 safe. Replace all uses of timespec by y2038 safe struct timespec64. Even though timespec is used here to represent timeouts, replace these with timespec64 so that it facilitates in verification by creating a y2038 safe kernel image that is free of timespec. The syscall interfaces themselves are not changed as part of the patch. They will be part of a different series.

2017-07-14kmod: throttle kmod thread limitLuis R. Rodriguez1-9/+7
If we reach the limit of modprobe_limit threads running the next request_module() call will fail. The original reason for adding a kill was to do away with possible issues with in old circumstances which would create a recursive series of request_module() calls. We can do better than just be super aggressive and reject calls once we've reached the limit by simply making pending callers wait until the threshold has been reduced, and then throttling them in, one by one. This throttling enables requests over the kmod concurrent limit to be processed once a pending request completes. Only the first item queued up to wait is woken up. The assumption here is once a task is woken it will have no other option to also kick the queue to check if there are more pending tasks -- regardless of whether or not it was successful. By throttling and processing only max kmod concurrent tasks we ensure we avoid unexpected fatal request_module() calls, and we keep memory consumption on module loading to a minimum. With x86_64 qemu, with 4 cores, 4 GiB of RAM it takes the following run time to run both tests: time ./kmod.sh -t 0008 real 0m16.366s user 0m0.883s sys 0m8.916s time ./kmod.sh -t 0009 real 0m50.803s user 0m0.791s sys 0m9.852s Link: http://lkml.kernel.org/r/20170628223155.26472-4-mcgrof@kernel.org Signed-off-by: Luis R.

2017-07-12kexec_file: adjust declaration of kexec_purgatoryKees Cook2-7/+2
Defining kexec_purgatory as a zero-length char array upsets compile time size checking. Since this is built on a per-arch basis, define it as an unsized char array (like is done for other similar things, e.g. linker sections). This silences the warning generated by the future CONFIG_FORTIFY_SOURCE, which did not like the memcmp() of a "0 byte" array. This drops the __weak and uses an extern instead, since both users define kexec_purgatory.

2017-07-12kernel/watchdog: split up config optionsNicholas Piggin4-131/+177
Split SOFTLOCKUP_DETECTOR from LOCKUP_DETECTOR, and split HARDLOCKUP_DETECTOR_PERF from HARDLOCKUP_DETECTOR. LOCKUP_DETECTOR implies the general boot, sysctl, and programming interfaces for the lockup detectors. An architecture that wants to use a hard lockup detector must define HAVE_HARDLOCKUP_DETECTOR_PERF or HAVE_HARDLOCKUP_DETECTOR_ARCH. Alternatively an arch can define HAVE_NMI_WATCHDOG, which provides the minimum arch_touch_nmi_watchdog, and it otherwise does its own thing and does not implement the LOCKUP_DETECTOR interfaces. sparc is unusual in that it has started to implement some of the interfaces, but not fully yet. It should probably be converted to a full HAVE_HARDLOCKUP_DETECTOR_ARCH.

2017-07-12fault-inject: support systematic fault injectionDmitry Vyukov1-0/+4
Add /proc/self/task/<current-tid>/fail-nth file that allows failing 0-th, 1-st, 2-nd and so on calls systematically. Excerpt from the added documentation: "Write to this file of integer N makes N-th call in the current task fail (N is 0-based). Read from this file returns a single char 'Y' or 'N' that says if the fault setup with a previous write to this file was injected or not, and disables the fault if it wasn't yet injected. Note that this file enables all types of faults (slab, futex, etc). This setting takes precedence over all other generic settings like probability, interval, times, etc. But per-capability settings (e.g. fail_futex/ignore-private) take precedence over it. This feature is intended for systematic testing of faults in a single system call. See an example below" Why add a new setting: 1. Existing settings are global rather than per-task. So parallel testing is not possible. 2. attr->interval is close but it depends on attr->count which is non reset to 0, so interval does not work as expected. 3. Trying to model this with existing settings requires manipulations of all of probability, interval, times, space, task-filter and unexposed count and per-task make-it-fail files. 4. Existing settings are per-failure-type, and the set of failure types is potentially expanding. 5. make-it-fail can't be changed by unprivileged user and aggressive stress testing better be done from an unprivileged user. Similarly, this would require opening the debugfs files to the unprivileged user, as he would need to reopen at least times file (not possible to pre-open before dropping privs). The proposed interface solves all of the above (see the example). We want to integrate this into syzkaller fuzzer. A prototype has found 10 bugs in kernel in first day of usage: https://groups.google.com/forum/#!searchin/syzkaller/%22FAULT_INJECTION%22%7Csort:relevance I've made the current interface work with all types of our sandboxes. For setuid the secret sauce was prctl(PR_SET_DUMPABLE, 1, 0, 0, 0) to make /proc entries non-root owned. So I am fine with the current version of the code.

2017-07-12kcmp: add KCMP_EPOLL_TFD mode to compare epoll target filesCyrill Gorcunov1-0/+57
With current epoll architecture target files are addressed with file_struct and file descriptor number, where the last is not unique. Moreover files can be transferred from another process via unix socket, added into queue and closed then so we won't find this descriptor in the task fdinfo list. Thus to checkpoint and restore such processes CRIU needs to find out where exactly the target file is present to add it into epoll queue. For this sake one can use kcmp call where some particular target file from the queue is compared with arbitrary file passed as an argument. Because epoll target files can have same file descriptor number but different file_struct a caller should explicitly specify the offset within. To test if some particular file is matching entry inside epoll one have to - fill kcmp_epoll_slot structure with epoll file descriptor, target file number and target file offset (in case if only one target is present then it should be 0) - call kcmp as kcmp(pid1, pid2, KCMP_EPOLL_TFD, fd, &kcmp_epoll_slot) - the kernel fetch file pointer matching file descriptor @fd of pid1 - lookups for file struct in epoll queue of pid2 and returns traditional 0,1,2 result for sorting purpose Link: http://lkml.kernel.org/r/20170424154423.511592110@gmail.com Signed-off-by: Cyrill Gorcunov <gorcunov@openvz.org> Acked-by: Andrey Vagin <avagin@openvz.org> Cc: Al Viro <viro@zeniv.linux.org.uk> Cc: Pavel Emelyanov <xemul@virtuozzo.com> Cc: Michael Kerrisk <mtk.manpages@gmail.com> Cc: Jason Baron <jbaron@akamai.com> Cc: Andy Lutomirski <luto@amacapital.net> Signed-off-by: Andrew Morton <akpm@linux-foundation.org> Signed-off-by: Linus Torvalds <torvalds@linux-foundation.org>
2017-07-12kernel/sysctl_binary.c: check name array length in deprecated_sysctl_warning()Mateusz Jurczyk1-1/+1
Prevent use of uninitialized memory (originating from the stack frame of do_sysctl()) by verifying that the name array is filled with sufficient input data before comparing its specific entries with integer constants. Through timing measurement or analyzing the kernel debug logs, a user-mode program could potentially infer the results of comparisons against the uninitialized memory, and acquire some (very limited) information about the state of the kernel stack. The change also eliminates possible future warnings by tools such as KMSAN and other code checkers / instrumentations.

2017-07-12sysctl: simplify unsigned int supportLuis R. Rodriguez1-7/+146
Commit e7d316a02f68 ("sysctl: handle error writing UINT_MAX to u32 fields") added proc_douintvec() to start help adding support for unsigned int, this however was only half the work needed. Two fixes have come in since then for the following issues: o Printing the values shows a negative value, this happens since do_proc_dointvec() and this uses proc_put_long() This was fixed by commit 5380e5644afbba9 ("sysctl: don't print negative flag for proc_douintvec"). o We can easily wrap around the int values: UINT_MAX is 4294967295, if we echo in 4294967295 + 1 we end up with 0, using 4294967295 + 2 we end up with 1. o We echo negative values in and they are accepted This was fixed by commit 425fffd886ba ("sysctl: report EINVAL if value is larger than UINT_MAX for proc_douintvec"). It still also failed to be added to sysctl_check_table()... instead of adding it with the current implementation just provide a proper and simplified unsigned int support without any array unsigned int support with no negative support at all. Historically sysctl proc helpers have supported arrays, due to the complexity this adds though we've taken a step back to evaluate array users to determine if its worth upkeeping for unsigned int. An evaluation using Coccinelle has been done to perform a grammatical search to ask ourselves: o How many sysctl proc_dointvec() (int) users exist which likely should be moved over to proc_douintvec() (unsigned int) ? Answer: about 8 - Of these how many are array users ? Answer: Probably only 1 o How many sysctl array users exist ? Answer: about 12 This last question gives us an idea just how popular arrays: they are not. Array support should probably just be kept for strings.

2017-07-12kdump: protect vmcoreinfo data under the crash memoryXunlei Pang4-1/+71
Currently vmcoreinfo data is updated at boot time subsys_initcall(), it has the risk of being modified by some wrong code during system is running. As a result, vmcore dumped may contain the wrong vmcoreinfo. Later on, when using "crash", "makedumpfile", etc utility to parse this vmcore, we probably will get "Segmentation fault" or other unexpected errors. E.g. 1) wrong code overwrites vmcoreinfo_data; 2) further crashes the system; 3) trigger kdump, then we obviously will fail to recognize the crash context correctly due to the corrupted vmcoreinfo. Now except for vmcoreinfo, all the crash data is well protected(including the cpu note which is fully updated in the crash path, thus its correctness is guaranteed). Given that vmcoreinfo data is a large chunk prepared for kdump, we better protect it as well. To solve this, we relocate and copy vmcoreinfo_data to the crash memory when kdump is loading via kexec syscalls. Because the whole crash memory will be protected by existing arch_kexec_protect_crashkres() mechanism, we naturally protect vmcoreinfo_data from write(even read) access under kernel direct mapping after kdump is loaded. Since kdump is usually loaded at the very early stage after boot, we can trust the correctness of the vmcoreinfo data copied. On the other hand, we still need to operate the vmcoreinfo safe copy when crash happens to generate vmcoreinfo_note again, we rely on vmap() to map out a new kernel virtual address and update to use this new one instead in the following crash_save_vmcoreinfo(). BTW, we do not touch vmcoreinfo_note, because it will be fully updated using the protected vmcoreinfo_data after crash which is surely correct just like the cpu crash note.

2017-07-12powerpc/fadump: use the correct VMCOREINFO_NOTE_SIZE for phdrXunlei Pang1-2/+1
vmcoreinfo_max_size stands for the vmcoreinfo_data, the correct one we should use is vmcoreinfo_note whose total size is VMCOREINFO_NOTE_SIZE. Like explained in commit 77019967f06b ("kdump: fix exported size of vmcoreinfo note"), it should not affect the actual function, but we better fix it, also this change should be safe and backward compatible. After this, we can get rid of variable vmcoreinfo_max_size, let's use the corresponding macros directly, fewer variables means more safety for vmcoreinfo operation.

2017-07-12kexec: move vmcoreinfo out of the kernel's .bss sectionXunlei Pang2-5/+23
As Eric said, "what we need to do is move the variable vmcoreinfo_note out of the kernel's .bss section. And modify the code to regenerate and keep this information in something like the control page. Definitely something like this needs a page all to itself, and ideally far away from any other kernel data structures. I clearly was not watching closely the data someone decided to keep this silly thing in the kernel's .bss section." This patch allocates extra pages for these vmcoreinfo_XXX variables, one advantage is that it enhances some safety of vmcoreinfo, because vmcoreinfo now is kept far away from other kernel data structures.

2017-07-12cpufreq: schedutil: Fix sugov_start() versus sugov_update_shared() raceVikram Mulukutla1-0/+5
With a shared policy in place, when one of the CPUs in the policy is hotplugged out and then brought back online, sugov_stop() and sugov_start() are called in order. sugov_stop() removes utilization hooks for each CPU in the policy and does nothing else in the for_each_cpu() loop. sugov_start() on the other hand iterates through the CPUs in the policy and re-initializes the per-cpu structure _and_ adds the utilization hook. This implies that the scheduler is allowed to invoke a CPU's utilization update hook when the rest of the per-cpu structures have yet to be re-inited. Apart from some strange values in tracepoints this doesn't cause a problem, but if we do end up accessing a pointer from the per-cpu sugov_cpu structure somewhere in the sugov_update_shared() path, we will likely see crashes since the memset for another CPU in the policy is free to race with sugov_update_shared from the CPU that is ready to go. So let's fix this now to first init all per-cpu structures, and then add the per-cpu utilization update hooks all at once.

2017-07-10mm: make PR_SET_THP_DISABLE immediately activeMichal Hocko1-3/+3
PR_SET_THP_DISABLE has a rather subtle semantic. It doesn't affect any existing mapping because it only updated mm->def_flags which is a template for new mappings. The mappings created after prctl(PR_SET_THP_DISABLE) have VM_NOHUGEPAGE flag set. This can be quite surprising for all those applications which do not do prctl(); fork() & exec() and want to control their own THP behavior. Another usecase when the immediate semantic of the prctl might be useful is a combination of pre- and post-copy migration of containers with CRIU. In this case CRIU populates a part of a memory region with data that was saved during the pre-copy stage. Afterwards, the region is registered with userfaultfd and CRIU expects to get page faults for the parts of the region that were not yet populated. However, khugepaged collapses the pages and the expected page faults do not occur. In more general case, the prctl(PR_SET_THP_DISABLE) could be used as a temporary mechanism for enabling/disabling THP process wide. Implementation wise, a new MMF_DISABLE_THP flag is added. This flag is tested when decision whether to use huge pages is taken either during page fault of at the time of THP collapse. It should be noted, that the new implementation makes PR_SET_THP_DISABLE master override to any per-VMA setting, which was not the case previously.

2017-07-09trace/kprobes: Sanitize derived event namesNaveen N. Rao1-0/+9
When we derive event names, convert some expected symbols (such as ':' used to specify module:name and '.' present in some symbols) into underscores so that the event name is not rejected.
