2022-12-23cfi: Fix CFI failure with KASANSami Tolvanen1-3/+0
When CFI_CLANG and KASAN are both enabled, LLVM doesn't generate a CFI type hash for asan.module_ctor functions in translation units where CFI is disabled, which leads to a CFI failure during boot when do_ctors calls the affected constructors: CFI failure at do_basic_setup+0x64/0x90 (target: asan.module_ctor+0x0/0x28; expected type: 0xa540670c) Specifically, this happens because CFI is disabled for kernel/cfi.c. There's no reason to keep CFI disabled here anymore, so fix the failure by not filtering out CC_FLAGS_CFI for the file. Note that https://reviews.llvm.org/rG3b14862f0a96 fixed the issue where LLVM didn't emit CFI type hashes for any sanitizer constructors, but now type hashes are emitted correctly for TUs that use CFI.

2022-12-21dma-mapping: reject GFP_COMP for noncoherent allocationsChristoph Hellwig1-0/+4
While not quite as bogus as for the dma-coherent allocations that were fixed earlier, GFP_COMP for these allocations has no benefits for the dma-direct case, and can't be supported at all by dma dma-iommu backend which splits up allocations into smaller orders. Due to an oversight in ffcb75458460 that flag stopped being cleared for all dma allocations, but only got rejected for coherent ones, so fix up these callers to not allow __GFP_COMP as well after the sound code has been fixed to not ask for it.

2022-12-17rcu: Don't assert interrupts enabled too early in bootPaul E. McKenney1-4/+6
The rcu_poll_gp_seq_end() and rcu_poll_gp_seq_end_unlocked() both check that interrupts are enabled, as they normally should be when waiting for an RCU grace period. Except that it is legal to wait for grace periods during early boot, before interrupts have been enabled for the first time, and polling for grace periods is required to work during this time. This can result in false-positive lockdep splats in the presence of boot-time-initiated tracing. This commit therefore conditions those interrupts-enabled checks on rcu_scheduler_active having advanced past RCU_SCHEDULER_INACTIVE, by which time interrupts have been enabled.

For architectures such as s390 and powerpc that do not use irq domains for MSIs, dev->msi.domain is always NULL, so the per-device, per-bus MSI domain is also guaranteed to be NULL.

git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/gregkh/driver-core Pull driver core updates from Greg KH: "Here is the set of driver core and kernfs changes for 6.2-rc1. The "big" change in here is the addition of a new macro, container_of_const() that will preserve the "const-ness" of a pointer passed into it. The "problem" of the current container_of() macro is that if you pass in a "const *", out of it can comes a non-const pointer unless you specifically ask for it. For many usages, we want to preserve the "const" attribute by using the same call. For a specific example, this series changes the kobj_to_dev() macro to use it, allowing it to be used no matter what the const value is. This prevents every subsystem from having to declare 2 different individual macros (i.e. kobj_const_to_dev() and kobj_to_dev()) and having the compiler enforce the const value at build time, which having 2 macros would not do either. The driver for all of this have been discussions with the Rust kernel developers as to how to properly mark driver core, and kobject, objects as being "non-mutable". The changes to the kobject and driver core in this pull request are the result of that, as there are lots of paths where kobjects and device pointers are not modified at all, so marking them as "const" allows the compiler to enforce this. So, a nice side affect of the Rust development effort has been already to clean up the driver core code to be more obvious about object rules. All of this has been bike-shedded in quite a lot of detail on lkml with different names and implementations resulting in the tiny version we have in here, much better than my original proposal. Lots of subsystem maintainers have acked the changes as well. Other than this change, included in here are smaller stuff like: - kernfs fixes and updates to handle lock contention better - vmlinux.lds.h fixes and updates - sysfs and debugfs documentation updates - device property updates All of these have been in the linux-next tree for quite a while with no problems" * tag 'driver-core-6.2-rc1' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/gregkh/driver-core: (58 commits) device property: Fix documentation for fwnode_get_next_parent() firmware_loader: fix up to_fw_sysfs() to preserve const usb.h: take advantage of container_of_const() device.h: move kobj_to_dev() to use container_of_const() container_of: add container_of_const() that preserves const-ness of the pointer driver core: fix up missed drivers/s390/char/hmcdrv_dev.c class.devnode() conversion. driver core: fix up missed scsi/cxlflash class.devnode() conversion. driver core: fix up some missing class.devnode() conversions. driver core: make struct class.devnode() take a const * driver core: make struct class.dev_uevent() take a const * cacheinfo: Remove of_node_put() for fw_token device property: Add a blank line in Kconfig of tests device property: Rename goto label to be more precise device property: Move PROPERTY_ENTRY_BOOL() a bit down device property: Get rid of __PROPERTY_ENTRY_ARRAY_EL*SIZE*() kernfs: fix all kernel-doc warnings and multiple typos driver core: pass a const * into of_device_uevent() kobject: kset_uevent_ops: make name() callback take a const * kobject: kset_uevent_ops: make filter() callback take a const * kobject: make kobject_namespace take a const * ...

2022-12-14bpf: Resolve fext program type when checking map compatibilityToke Høiland-Jørgensen1-2/+3
The bpf_prog_map_compatible() check makes sure that BPF program types are not mixed inside BPF map types that can contain programs (tail call maps, cpumaps and devmaps). It does this by setting the fields of the map->owner struct to the values of the first program being checked against, and rejecting any subsequent programs if the values don't match. One of the values being set in the map owner struct is the program type, and since the code did not resolve the prog type for fext programs, the map owner type would be set to PROG_TYPE_EXT and subsequent loading of programs of the target type into the map would fail. This bug is seen in particular for XDP programs that are loaded as PROG_TYPE_EXT using libxdp; these cannot insert programs into devmaps and cpumaps because the check fails as described above. Fix the bug by resolving the fext program type to its target program type as elsewhere in the verifier. v3: - Add Yonghong's ACK Fixes: f45d5b6ce2e8 ("bpf: generalise tail call map compatibility check") Acked-by: Yonghong Song <yhs@fb.com> Signed-off-by: Toke Høiland-Jørgensen <toke@redhat.com> Link: https://lore.kernel.org/r/20221214230254.790066-1-toke@redhat.com Signed-off-by: Martin KaFai Lau <martin.lau@kernel.org>

Add 'symstr' type for storing the kernel symbol as a string data instead of the symbol address. This allows us to filter the events by wildcard symbol name. e.g. # echo 'e:wqfunc workqueue.workqueue_execute_start symname=$function:symstr' >> dynamic_events # cat events/eprobes/wqfunc/format name: wqfunc ID: 2110 format: field:unsigned short common_type; offset:0; size:2; signed:0; field:unsigned char common_flags; offset:2; size:1; signed:0; field:unsigned char common_preempt_count; offset:3; size:1; signed:0; field:int common_pid; offset:4; size:4; signed:1; field:__data_loc char[] symname; offset:8; size:4; signed:1; print fmt: " symname=\"%s\"", __get_str(symname) Note that there is already 'symbol' type which just change the print format (so it still stores the symbol address in the tracing ring buffer.) On the other hand, 'symstr' type stores the actual "symbol+offset/size" data as a string.

2022-12-15kprobes: kretprobe events missing on 2-core KVM guestwuqiang1-6/+2
Default value of maxactive is set as num_possible_cpus() for nonpreemptable systems. For a 2-core system, only 2 kretprobe instances would be allocated in default, then these 2 instances for execve kretprobe are very likely to be used up with a pipelined command. Here's the testcase: a shell script was added to crontab, and the content of the script is: #!/bin/sh do_something_magic `tr -dc a-z < /dev/urandom | head -c 10` cron will trigger a series of program executions (4 times every hour). Then events loss would be noticed normally after 3-4 hours of testings. The issue is caused by a burst of series of execve requests. The best number of kretprobe instances could be different case by case, and should be user's duty to determine, but num_possible_cpus() as the default value is inadequate especially for systems with small number of cpus. This patch enables the logic for preemption as default, thus increases the minimum of maxactive to 10 for nonpreemptable systems.

It is a lighterweight software-only fix for Skylake-based cores where enabling IBRS is a big hammer and causes a significant performance impact. What it basically does is, it aligns all kernel functions to 16 bytes boundary and adds a 16-byte padding before the function, objtool collects all functions' locations and when the mitigation gets applied, it patches a call accounting thunk which is used to track the call depth of the stack at any time. When that call depth reaches a magical, microarchitecture-specific value for the Return Stack Buffer, the code stuffs that RSB and avoids its underflow which could otherwise lead to the Intel variant of Retbleed.

Hao Sun reported crash in dispatcher image [1].

Calling synchronize_rcu after updating and installing new image ensures that readers leave old image before it's changed in the next dispatcher update. The update itself is locked with dispatcher's mutex. The bpf_prog_run_xdp is called under local_bh_disable and synchronize_rcu will wait for it to leave [2].

It takes over from drivers/vfio/vfio_iommu_type1.c (aka the VFIO container) which is the VFIO specific interface for a similar idea. We see a broad need for extended features, some being highly IOMMU device specific: - Binding iommu_domain's to PASID/SSID - Userspace IO page tables, for ARM, x86 and S390 - Kernel bypassed invalidation of user page tables - Re-use of the KVM page table in the IOMMU - Dirty page tracking in the IOMMU - Runtime Increase/Decrease of IOPTE size - PRI support with faults resolved in userspace Many of these HW features exist to support VM use cases - for instance the combination of PASID, PRI and Userspace IO Page Tables allows an implementation of DMA Shared Virtual Addressing (vSVA) within a guest. Dirty tracking enables VM live migration with SRIOV devices and PASID support allow creating "scalable IOV" devices, among other things.

This optimization causes modpost to complain since padata_work_init() is not __init, whereas padata_mt_helper() is. Since padata_work_init() is only called from __init code when padata_mt_helper() is passed as the work_fn argument, mark padata_work_init() as __ref, which makes it clear to modpost that this scenario is okay.

The only penalty was increasing the memory footprint by 3 * kallsyms_num_syms. Folks who want to improve this further now also have a dedicated selftest facility through KALLSYMS_SELFTEST. Stephen Boyd added zstd in-kernel decompression support, but the only users of this would be folks using the load-pin LSM because otherwise we do module decompression in userspace. The only other thing with mentioning is a minor boot time optimization by Rasmus Villemoes which deferes param_sysfs_init() to late init.

2022-12-13tracing: Have trigger filter parsing errors show up in error_logSteven Rostedt (Google)1-1/+8
It is annoying that the filter parsing of triggers do not show up in the error_log. Trying to figure out what is incorrect in the input is difficult when it fails for a typo. Have the errors of filter parsing show up in error_log as well.
