mm: fix new crash in unmapped_area_topdown()

2017-06-24T05:11:18+00:00

commit f4cb767d76cf7ee72f97dd76f6cfa6c76a5edc89 upstream.

Trinity gets kernel BUG at mm/mmap.c:1963! in about 3 minutes of
mmap testing.  That's the VM_BUG_ON(gap_end < gap_start) at the
end of unmapped_area_topdown().  Linus points out how MAP_FIXED
(which does not have to respect our stack guard gap intentions)
could result in gap_end below gap_start there.  Fix that, and
the similar case in its alternative, unmapped_area().

Allow stack to grow up to address space limit

2017-06-24T05:11:18+00:00

commit bd726c90b6b8ce87602208701b208a208e6d5600 upstream.

Fix expand_upwards() on architectures with an upward-growing stack (parisc,
metag and partly IA-64) to allow the stack to reliably grow exactly up to
the address space limit given by TASK_SIZE.

mm: larger stack guard gap, between vmas

2017-06-24T05:11:18+00:00

commit 1be7107fbe18eed3e319a6c3e83c78254b693acb upstream.

Stack guard page is a useful feature to reduce a risk of stack smashing
into a different mapping. We have been using a single page gap which
is sufficient to prevent having stack adjacent to a different mapping.
But this seems to be insufficient in the light of the stack usage in
userspace. E.g. glibc uses as large as 64kB alloca() in many commonly
used functions. Others use constructs liks gid_t buffer[NGROUPS_MAX]
which is 256kB or stack strings with MAX_ARG_STRLEN.

This will become especially dangerous for suid binaries and the default
no limit for the stack size limit because those applications can be
tricked to consume a large portion of the stack and a single glibc call
could jump over the guard page. These attacks are not theoretical,
unfortunatelly.

Make those attacks less probable by increasing the stack guard gap
to 1MB (on systems with 4k pages; but make it depend on the page size
because systems with larger base pages might cap stack allocations in
the PAGE_SIZE units) which should cover larger alloca() and VLA stack
allocations. It is obviously not a full fix because the problem is
somehow inherent, but it should reduce attack space a lot.

One could argue that the gap size should be configurable from userspace,
but that can be done later when somebody finds that the new 1MB is wrong
for some special case applications.  For now, add a kernel command line
option (stack_guard_gap) to specify the stack gap size (in page units).

Implementation wise, first delete all the old code for stack guard page:
because although we could get away with accounting one extra page in a
stack vma, accounting a larger gap can break userspace - case in point,
a program run with "ulimit -S -v 20000" failed when the 1MB gap was
counted for RLIMIT_AS; similar problems could come with RLIMIT_MLOCK
and strict non-overcommit mode.

Instead of keeping gap inside the stack vma, maintain the stack guard
gap as a gap between vmas: using vm_start_gap() in place of vm_start
(or vm_end_gap() in place of vm_end if VM_GROWSUP) in just those few
places which need to respect the gap - mainly arch_get_unmapped_area(),
and and the vma tree's subtree_gap support for that.

swap: cond_resched in swap_cgroup_prepare()

2017-06-24T05:11:16+00:00

commit ef70762948dde012146926720b70e79736336764 upstream.

I saw need_resched() warnings when swapping on large swapfile (TBs)
because continuously allocating many pages in swap_cgroup_prepare() took
too long.

We already cond_resched when freeing page in swap_cgroup_swapoff().  Do
the same for the page allocation.

mm/memory-failure.c: use compound_head() flags for huge pages

2017-06-24T05:11:16+00:00

commit 7258ae5c5a2ce2f5969e8b18b881be40ab55433d upstream.

memory_failure() chooses a recovery action function based on the page
flags.  For huge pages it uses the tail page flags which don't have
anything interesting set, resulting in:

> Memory failure: 0x9be3b4: Unknown page state
> Memory failure: 0x9be3b4: recovery action for unknown page: Failed

Instead, save a copy of the head page's flags if this is a huge page,
this means if there are no relevant flags for this tail page, we use the
head pages flags instead.  This results in the me_huge_page() recovery
action being called:

> Memory failure: 0x9b7969: recovery action for huge page: Delayed

For hugepages that have not yet been allocated, this allows the hugepage
to be dequeued.

The iput() from atomic context was a bad idea: if after igrab() somebody
else calls iput() and we left with the last inode reference, our iput()
would lead to inode eviction and therefore sleeping.

This patch should fix the situation.

mm/slub.c: trace free objects at KERN_INFO

2017-06-07T10:07:49+00:00

commit aa2efd5ea4041754da4046c3d2e7edaac9526258 upstream.

Currently when trace is enabled (e.g.  slub_debug=T,kmalloc-128 ) the
trace messages are mostly output at KERN_INFO.  However the trace code
also calls print_section() to hexdump the head of a free object.  This
is hard coded to use KERN_ERR, meaning the console is deluged with trace
messages even if we've asked for quiet.

Fix this the obvious way but adding a level parameter to
print_section(), allowing calls from the trace code to use the same
trace level as other trace messages.

slub/memcg: cure the brainless abuse of sysfs attributes

2017-06-07T10:07:49+00:00

commit 478fe3037b2278d276d4cd9cd0ab06c4cb2e9b32 upstream.

memcg_propagate_slab_attrs() abuses the sysfs attribute file functions
to propagate settings from the root kmem_cache to a newly created
kmem_cache.  It does that with:

     attr->show(root, buf);
     attr->store(new, buf, strlen(bug);

Aside of being a lazy and absurd hackery this is broken because it does
not check the return value of the show() function.

Some of the show() functions return 0 w/o touching the buffer.  That
means in such a case the store function is called with the stale content
of the previous show().  That causes nonsense like invoking
kmem_cache_shrink() on a newly created kmem_cache.  In the worst case it
would cause handing in an uninitialized buffer.

This should be rewritten proper by adding a propagate() callback to
those slub_attributes which must be propagated and avoid that insane
conversion to and from ASCII, but that's too large for a hot fix.

Check at least the return value of the show() function, so calling
store() with stale content is prevented.

Steven said:
 "It can cause a deadlock with get_online_cpus() that has been uncovered
  by recent cpu hotplug and lockdep changes that Thomas and Peter have
  been doing.

     Possible unsafe locking scenario:

           CPU0                    CPU1
           ----                    ----
      lock(cpu_hotplug.lock);
                                   lock(slab_mutex);
                                   lock(cpu_hotplug.lock);
      lock(slab_mutex);

     *** DEADLOCK ***"
