tracing: Use SOFTIRQ_OFFSET for softirq dectection for more accurate results

2017-07-21T05:44:59+00:00

commit c59f29cb144a6a0dfac16ede9dc8eafc02dc56ca upstream.

The 's' flag is supposed to indicate that a softirq is running. This
can be detected by testing the preempt_count with SOFTIRQ_OFFSET.

The current code tests the preempt_count with SOFTIRQ_MASK, which
would be true even when softirqs are disabled but not serving a
softirq.

sched/topology: Optimize build_group_mask()

2017-07-21T05:44:59+00:00

commit f32d782e31bf079f600dcec126ed117b0577e85c upstream.

The group mask is always used in intersection with the group CPUs. So,
when building the group mask, we don't have to care about CPUs that are
not part of the group.

sched/topology: Fix overlapping sched_group_mask

2017-07-21T05:44:59+00:00

commit 73bb059f9b8a00c5e1bf2f7ca83138c05d05e600 upstream.

The point of sched_group_mask is to select those CPUs from
sched_group_cpus that can actually arrive at this balance domain.

The current code gets it wrong, as can be readily demonstrated with a
topology like:

  node   0   1   2   3
    0:  10  20  30  20
    1:  20  10  20  30
    2:  30  20  10  20
    3:  20  30  20  10

Where (for example) domain 1 on CPU1 ends up with a mask that includes
CPU0:

  [] CPU1 attaching sched-domain:
  []  domain 0: span 0-2 level NUMA
  []   groups: 1 (mask: 1), 2, 0
  []   domain 1: span 0-3 level NUMA
  []    groups: 0-2 (mask: 0-2) (cpu_capacity: 3072), 0,2-3 (cpu_capacity: 3072)

This causes sched_balance_cpu() to compute the wrong CPU and
consequently should_we_balance() will terminate early resulting in
missed load-balance opportunities.

The fixed topology looks like:

  [] CPU1 attaching sched-domain:
  []  domain 0: span 0-2 level NUMA
  []   groups: 1 (mask: 1), 2, 0
  []   domain 1: span 0-3 level NUMA
  []    groups: 0-2 (mask: 1) (cpu_capacity: 3072), 0,2-3 (cpu_capacity: 3072)

(note: this relies on OVERLAP domains to always have children, this is
 true because the regular topology domains are still here -- this is
 before degenerate trimming)

kernel/extable.c: mark core_kernel_text notrace

2017-07-21T05:44:56+00:00

commit c0d80ddab89916273cb97114889d3f337bc370ae upstream.

core_kernel_text is used by MIPS in its function graph trace processing,
so having this method traced leads to an infinite set of recursive calls
such as:

  Call Trace:
     ftrace_return_to_handler+0x50/0x128
     core_kernel_text+0x10/0x1b8
     prepare_ftrace_return+0x6c/0x114
     ftrace_graph_caller+0x20/0x44
     return_to_handler+0x10/0x30
     return_to_handler+0x0/0x30
     return_to_handler+0x0/0x30
     ftrace_ops_no_ops+0x114/0x1bc
     core_kernel_text+0x10/0x1b8
     core_kernel_text+0x10/0x1b8

     prepare_ftrace_return+0x6c/0x114
     ftrace_graph_caller+0x20/0x44
     (...)

Mark the function notrace to avoid it being traced.

bpf: prevent leaking pointer via xadd on unpriviledged

2017-07-21T05:44:55+00:00

commit 6bdf6abc56b53103324dfd270a86580306e1a232 upstream.

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.

sysctl: report EINVAL if value is larger than UINT_MAX for proc_douintvec

2017-07-15T09:57:46+00:00

commit 425fffd886bae3d127a08fa6a17f2e31e24ed7ff upstream.

Currently, inputting the following command will succeed but actually the
value will be truncated:

  # echo 0x12ffffffff > /proc/sys/net/ipv4/tcp_notsent_lowat

This is not friendly to the user, so instead, we should report error
when the value is larger than UINT_MAX.

sysctl: don't print negative flag for proc_douintvec

2017-07-15T09:57:46+00:00

commit 5380e5644afbba9e3d229c36771134976f05c91e upstream.

I saw some very confusing sysctl output on my system:
  # cat /proc/sys/net/core/xfrm_aevent_rseqth
  -2
  # cat /proc/sys/net/core/xfrm_aevent_etime
  -10
  # cat /proc/sys/net/ipv4/tcp_notsent_lowat
  -4294967295

Because we forget to set the *negp flag in proc_douintvec, so it will
become a garbage value.

Since the value related to proc_douintvec is always an unsigned integer,
so we can set *negp to false explictily to fix this issue.

tracing/kprobes: Allow to create probe with a module name starting with a digit

2017-07-15T09:57:45+00:00

commit 9e52b32567126fe146f198971364f68d3bc5233f upstream.

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

sched/loadavg: Avoid loadavg spikes caused by delayed NO_HZ accounting

2017-07-05T12:37:21+00:00

commit 6e5f32f7a43f45ee55c401c0b9585eb01f9629a8 upstream.

If we crossed a sample window while in NO_HZ we will add LOAD_FREQ to
the pending sample window time on exit, setting the next update not
one window into the future, but two.

This situation on exiting NO_HZ is described by:

  this_rq->calc_load_update < jiffies < calc_load_update

In this scenario, what we should be doing is:

  this_rq->calc_load_update = calc_load_update		     [ next window ]

But what we actually do is:

  this_rq->calc_load_update = calc_load_update + LOAD_FREQ   [ next+1 window ]

This has the effect of delaying load average updates for potentially
up to ~9seconds.

This can result in huge spikes in the load average values due to
per-cpu uninterruptible task counts being out of sync when accumulated
across all CPUs.

It's safe to update the per-cpu active count if we wake between sample
windows because any load that we left in 'calc_load_idle' will have
been zero'd when the idle load was folded in calc_global_load().

This issue is easy to reproduce before,

  commit 9d89c257dfb9 ("sched/fair: Rewrite runnable load and utilization average tracking")

just by forking short-lived process pipelines built from ps(1) and
grep(1) in a loop. I'm unable to reproduce the spikes after that
commit, but the bug still seems to be present from code review.
