perf/core: Fix event inheritance on fork()

2017-03-26T10:13:18+00:00

commit e7cc4865f0f31698ef2f7aac01a50e78968985b7 upstream.

While hunting for clues to a use-after-free, Oleg spotted that
perf_event_init_context() can loose an error value with the result
that fork() can succeed even though we did not fully inherit the perf
event context.

kernek/fork.c: allocate idle task for a CPU always on its local node

2017-03-26T10:13:18+00:00

commit 725fc629ff2545b061407305ae51016c9f928fce upstream.

Linux preallocates the task structs of the idle tasks for all possible
CPUs.  This currently means they all end up on node 0.  This also
implies that the cache line of MWAIT, which is around the flags field in
the task struct, are all located in node 0.

We see a noticeable performance improvement on Knights Landing CPUs when
the cache lines used for MWAIT are located in the local nodes of the
CPUs using them.  I would expect this to give a (likely slight)
improvement on other systems too.

The patch implements placing the idle task in the node of its CPUs, by
passing the right target node to copy_process()

futex: Add missing error handling to FUTEX_REQUEUE_PI

2017-03-22T11:04:19+00:00

commit 9bbb25afeb182502ca4f2c4f3f88af0681b34cae upstream.

Thomas spotted that fixup_pi_state_owner() can return errors and we
fail to unlock the rt_mutex in that case.

futex: Fix potential use-after-free in FUTEX_REQUEUE_PI

2017-03-22T11:04:19+00:00

commit c236c8e95a3d395b0494e7108f0d41cf36ec107c upstream.

While working on the futex code, I stumbled over this potential
use-after-free scenario. Dmitry triggered it later with syzkaller.

pi_mutex is a pointer into pi_state, which we drop the reference on in
unqueue_me_pi(). So any access to that pointer after that is bad.

Since other sites already do rt_mutex_unlock() with hb->lock held, see
for example futex_lock_pi(), simply move the unlock before
unqueue_me_pi().

Fix: Disable sys_membarrier when nohz_full is enabled

2017-03-12T05:37:26+00:00

commit 907565337ebf998a68cb5c5b2174ce5e5da065eb upstream.

Userspace applications should be allowed to expect the membarrier system
call with MEMBARRIER_CMD_SHARED command to issue memory barriers on
nohz_full CPUs, but synchronize_sched() does not take those into
account.

Given that we do not want unrelated processes to be able to affect
real-time sensitive nohz_full CPUs, simply return ENOSYS when membarrier
is invoked on a kernel with enabled nohz_full CPUs.

printk: use rcuidle console tracepoint

2017-02-23T16:43:10+00:00

commit fc98c3c8c9dcafd67adcce69e6ce3191d5306c9c upstream.

Use rcuidle console tracepoint because, apparently, it may be issued
from an idle CPU:

  hw-breakpoint: Failed to enable monitor mode on CPU 0.
  hw-breakpoint: CPU 0 failed to disable vector catch

  ===============================
  [ ERR: suspicious RCU usage.  ]

  other info that might help us debug this:

This RCU warning, however, is suppressed by lockdep_off() in printk().
lockdep_off() increments the ->lockdep_recursion counter and thus
disables RCU_LOCKDEP_WARN() and debug_lockdep_rcu_enabled(), which want
lockdep to be enabled "current->lockdep_recursion == 0".

futex: Move futex_init() to core_initcall

2017-02-23T16:43:09+00:00

commit 25f71d1c3e98ef0e52371746220d66458eac75bc upstream.

The UEVENT user mode helper is enabled before the initcalls are executed
and is available when the root filesystem has been mounted.

The user mode helper is triggered by device init calls and the executable
might use the futex syscall.

futex_init() is marked __initcall which maps to device_initcall, but there
is no guarantee that futex_init() is invoked _before_ the first device init
call which triggers the UEVENT user mode helper.

If the user mode helper uses the futex syscall before futex_init() then the
syscall crashes with a NULL pointer dereference because the futex subsystem
has not been initialized yet.

Move futex_init() to core_initcall so futexes are initialized before the
root filesystem is mounted and the usermode helper becomes available.

perf/core: Fix PERF_RECORD_MMAP2 prot/flags for anonymous memory

commit 0b3589be9b98994ce3d5aeca52445d1f5627c4ba upstream.

Andres reported that MMAP2 records for anonymous memory always have
their protection field 0.

Turns out, someone daft put the prot/flags generation code in the file
branch, leaving them unset for anonymous memory.

jump_labels: API for flushing deferred jump label updates

commit b6416e61012429e0277bd15a229222fd17afc1c1 upstream.

Modules that use static_key_deferred need a way to synchronize with
any delayed work that is still pending when the module is unloaded.
Introduce static_key_deferred_flush() which flushes any pending
jump label updates.
