tracing: Fix showing function event in available_events

2016-03-07T21:35:23+00:00

[ Upstream commit d045437a169f899dfb0f6f7ede24cc042543ced9 ]

The ftrace:function event is only displayed for parsing the function tracer
data. It is not used to enable function tracing, and does not include an
"enable" file in its event directory.

Originally, this event was kept separate from other events because it did
not have a ->reg parameter. But perf added a "reg" parameter for its use
which caused issues, because it made the event available to functions where
it was not compatible for.

Commit 9b63776fa3ca9 "tracing: Do not enable function event with enable"
added a TRACE_EVENT_FL_IGNORE_ENABLE flag that prevented the function event
from being enabled by normal trace events. But this commit missed keeping
the function event from being displayed by the "available_events" directory,
which is used to show what events can be enabled by set_event.

One documented way to enable all events is to:

 cat available_events > set_event

But because the function event is displayed in the available_events, this
now causes an INVALID error:

 cat: write error: Invalid argument

bpf: fix branch offset adjustment on backjumps after patching ctx expansion

2016-03-04T15:25:49+00:00

[ Upstream commit a1b14d27ed0965838350f1377ff97c93ee383492 ]

When ctx access is used, the kernel often needs to expand/rewrite
instructions, so after that patching, branch offsets have to be
adjusted for both forward and backward jumps in the new eBPF program,
but for backward jumps it fails to account the delta. Meaning, for
example, if the expansion happens exactly on the insn that sits at
the jump target, it doesn't fix up the back jump offset.

Analysis on what the check in adjust_branches() is currently doing:

  /* adjust offset of jmps if necessary */
  if (i < pos && i + insn->off + 1 > pos)
    insn->off += delta;
  else if (i > pos && i + insn->off + 1 < pos)
    insn->off -= delta;

First condition (forward jumps):

  Before:                         After:

  insns[0]                        insns[0]
  insns[1] <--- i/insn            insns[1] <--- i/insn
  insns[2] <--- pos               insns[P] <--- pos
  insns[3]                        insns[P]  `------| delta
  insns[4] <--- target_X          insns[P]   `-----|
  insns[5]                        insns[3]
                                  insns[4] <--- target_X
                                  insns[5]

First case is if we cross pos-boundary and the jump instruction was
before pos. This is handeled correctly. I.e. if i == pos, then this
would mean our jump that we currently check was the patchlet itself
that we just injected. Since such patchlets are self-contained and
have no awareness of any insns before or after the patched one, the
delta is correctly not adjusted. Also, for the second condition in
case of i + insn->off + 1 == pos, means we jump to that newly patched
instruction, so no offset adjustment are needed. That part is correct.

Second condition (backward jumps):

  Before:                         After:

  insns[0]                        insns[0]
  insns[1] <--- target_X          insns[1] <--- target_X
  insns[2] <--- pos <-- target_Y  insns[P] <--- pos <-- target_Y
  insns[3]                        insns[P]  `------| delta
  insns[4] <--- i/insn            insns[P]   `-----|
  insns[5]                        insns[3]
                                  insns[4] <--- i/insn
                                  insns[5]

Second interesting case is where we cross pos-boundary and the jump
instruction was after pos. Backward jump with i == pos would be
impossible and pose a bug somewhere in the patchlet, so the first
condition checking i > pos is okay only by itself. However, i +
insn->off + 1 < pos does not always work as intended to trigger the
adjustment. It works when jump targets would be far off where the
delta wouldn't matter. But, for example, where the fixed insn->off
before pointed to pos (target_Y), it now points to pos + delta, so
that additional room needs to be taken into account for the check.
This means that i) both tests here need to be adjusted into pos + delta,
and ii) for the second condition, the test needs to be <= as pos
itself can be a target in the backjump, too.

workqueue: handle NUMA_NO_NODE for unbound pool_workqueue lookup

2016-03-04T15:25:41+00:00

[ Upstream commit d6e022f1d207a161cd88e08ef0371554680ffc46 ]

When looking up the pool_workqueue to use for an unbound workqueue,
workqueue assumes that the target CPU is always bound to a valid NUMA
node.  However, currently, when a CPU goes offline, the mapping is
destroyed and cpu_to_node() returns NUMA_NO_NODE.

This has always been broken but hasn't triggered often enough before
874bbfe600a6 ("workqueue: make sure delayed work run in local cpu").
After the commit, workqueue forcifully assigns the local CPU for
delayed work items without explicit target CPU to fix a different
issue.  This widens the window where CPU can go offline while a
delayed work item is pending causing delayed work items dispatched
with target CPU set to an already offlined CPU.  The resulting
NUMA_NO_NODE mapping makes workqueue try to queue the work item on a
NULL pool_workqueue and thus crash.

While 874bbfe600a6 has been reverted for a different reason making the
bug less visible again, it can still happen.  Fix it by mapping
NUMA_NO_NODE to the default pool_workqueue from unbound_pwq_by_node().
This is a temporary workaround.  The long term solution is keeping CPU
-> NODE mapping stable across CPU off/online cycles which is being
worked on.

workqueue: wq_pool_mutex protects the attrs-installation

2016-03-04T15:25:41+00:00

[ Upstream commit 5b95e1af8d17d85a17728f6de7dbff538e6e3c49 ]

Current wq_pool_mutex doesn't proctect the attrs-installation, it results
that ->unbound_attrs, ->numa_pwq_tbl[] and ->dfl_pwq can only be accessed
under wq->mutex and causes some inconveniences. Example, wq_update_unbound_numa()
has to acquire wq->mutex before fetching the wq->unbound_attrs->no_numa
and the old_pwq.

attrs-installation is a short operation, so this change will no cause any
latency for other operations which also acquire the wq_pool_mutex.

The only unprotected attrs-installation code is in apply_workqueue_attrs(),
so this patch touches code less than comments.

It is also a preparation patch for next several patches which read
wq->unbound_attrs, wq->numa_pwq_tbl[] and wq->dfl_pwq with
only wq_pool_mutex held.

workqueue: split apply_workqueue_attrs() into 3 stages

2016-03-04T15:25:40+00:00

[ Upstream commit 2d5f0764b5264d2954ba6e3deb04f4f5de8e4476 ]

Current apply_workqueue_attrs() includes pwqs-allocation and pwqs-installation,
so when we batch multiple apply_workqueue_attrs()s as a transaction, we can't
ensure the transaction must succeed or fail as a complete unit.

To solve this, we split apply_workqueue_attrs() into three stages.
The first stage does the preparation: allocation memory, pwqs.
The second stage does the attrs-installaion and pwqs-installation.
The third stage frees the allocated memory and (old or unused) pwqs.

As the result, batching multiple apply_workqueue_attrs()s can
succeed or fail as a complete unit:
	1) batch do all the first stage for all the workqueues
	2) only commit all when all the above succeed.

This patch is a preparation for the next patch ("Allow modifying low level
unbound workqueue cpumask") which will do a multiple apply_workqueue_attrs().

The patch doesn't have functionality changed except two minor adjustment:
	1) free_unbound_pwq() for the error path is removed, we use the
	   heavier version put_pwq_unlocked() instead since the error path
	   is rare. this adjustment simplifies the code.
	2) the memory-allocation is also moved into wq_pool_mutex.
	   this is needed to avoid to do the further splitting.

tj: minor updates to comments.

Revert "workqueue: make sure delayed work run in local cpu"

2016-03-04T15:25:40+00:00

[ Upstream commit 041bd12e272c53a35c54c13875839bcb98c999ce ]

This reverts commit 874bbfe600a660cba9c776b3957b1ce393151b76.

Workqueue used to implicity guarantee that work items queued without
explicit CPU specified are put on the local CPU.  Recent changes in
timer broke the guarantee and led to vmstat breakage which was fixed
by 176bed1de5bf ("vmstat: explicitly schedule per-cpu work on the CPU
we need it to run on").

vmstat is the most likely to expose the issue and it's quite possible
that there are other similar problems which are a lot more difficult
to trigger.  As a preventive measure, 874bbfe600a6 ("workqueue: make
sure delayed work run in local cpu") was applied to restore the local
CPU guarnatee.  Unfortunately, the change exposed a bug in timer code
which got fixed by 22b886dd1018 ("timers: Use proper base migration in
add_timer_on()").  Due to code restructuring, the commit couldn't be
backported beyond certain point and stable kernels which only had
874bbfe600a6 started crashing.

The local CPU guarantee was accidental more than anything else and we
want to get rid of it anyway.  As, with the vmstat case fixed,
874bbfe600a6 is causing more problems than it's fixing, it has been
decided to take the chance and officially break the guarantee by
reverting the commit.  A debug feature will be added to force foreign
CPU assignment to expose cases relying on the guarantee and fixes for
the individual cases will be backported to stable as necessary.

cgroup: make sure a parent css isn't offlined before its children

2016-02-23T05:49:17+00:00

[ Upstream commit aa226ff4a1ce79f229c6b7a4c0a14e17fececd01 ]

There are three subsystem callbacks in css shutdown path -
css_offline(), css_released() and css_free().  Except for
css_released(), cgroup core didn't guarantee the order of invocation.
css_offline() or css_free() could be called on a parent css before its
children.  This behavior is unexpected and led to bugs in cpu and
memory controller.

This patch updates offline path so that a parent css is never offlined
before its children.  Each css keeps online_cnt which reaches zero iff
itself and all its children are offline and offline_css() is invoked
only after online_cnt reaches zero.

This fixes the memory controller bug and allows the fix for cpu
controller.

prctl: take mmap sem for writing to protect against others

2016-02-03T21:23:22+00:00

[ Upstream commit ddf1d398e517e660207e2c807f76a90df543a217 ]

An unprivileged user can trigger an oops on a kernel with
CONFIG_CHECKPOINT_RESTORE.

proc_pid_cmdline_read takes mmap_sem for reading and obtains args + env
start/end values. These get sanity checked as follows:
        BUG_ON(arg_start > arg_end);
        BUG_ON(env_start > env_end);

These can be changed by prctl_set_mm. Turns out also takes the semaphore for
reading, effectively rendering it useless. This results in:

Turns out there are instances where the code just reads aformentioned
values without locking whatsoever - namely environ_read and get_cmdline.

Interestingly these functions look quite resilient against bogus values,
but I don't believe this should be relied upon.

The first patch gets rid of the oops bug by grabbing mmap_sem for
writing.

The second patch is optional and puts locking around aformentioned
consumers for safety.  Consumers of other fields don't seem to benefit
from similar treatment and are left untouched.

This patch (of 2):

The code was taking the semaphore for reading, which does not protect
against readers nor concurrent modifications.

The problem could cause a sanity checks to fail in procfs's cmdline
reader, resulting in an OOPS.

Note that some functions perform an unlocked read of various mm fields,
but they seem to be fine despite possible modificaton.

printk: do cond_resched() between lines while outputting to consoles

2016-02-03T21:23:18+00:00

[ Upstream commit 8d91f8b15361dfb438ab6eb3b319e2ded43458ff ]

@console_may_schedule tracks whether console_sem was acquired through
lock or trylock.  If the former, we're inside a sleepable context and
console_conditional_schedule() performs cond_resched().  This allows
console drivers which use console_lock for synchronization to yield
while performing time-consuming operations such as scrolling.

However, the actual console outputting is performed while holding
irq-safe logbuf_lock, so console_unlock() clears @console_may_schedule
before starting outputting lines.  Also, only a few drivers call
console_conditional_schedule() to begin with.  This means that when a
lot of lines need to be output by console_unlock(), for example on a
console registration, the task doing console_unlock() may not yield for
a long time on a non-preemptible kernel.

If this happens with a slow console devices, for example a serial
console, the outputting task may occupy the cpu for a very long time.
Long enough to trigger softlockup and/or RCU stall warnings, which in
turn pile more messages, sometimes enough to trigger the next cycle of
warnings incapacitating the system.

Fix it by making console_unlock() insert cond_resched() between lines if
@console_may_schedule.
