2015-08-06audit: implement audit by executableRichard Guy Briggs
This adds the ability audit the actions of a not-yet-running process. This patch implements the ability to filter on the executable path. Instead of just hard coding the ino and dev of the executable we care about at the moment the rule is inserted into the kernel, use the new audit_fsnotify infrastructure to manage this dynamically. This means that if the filename does not yet exist but the containing directory does, or if the inode in question is unlinked and creat'd (aka updated) the rule will just continue to work. If the containing directory is moved or deleted or the filesystem is unmounted, the rule is deleted automatically. A future enhancement would be to have the rule survive across directory disruptions. This is a heavily modified version of a patch originally submitted by Eric Paris with some ideas from Peter Moody.

2015-08-06audit: clean simple fsnotify implementationRichard Guy Briggs
This is to be used to audit by executable path rules, but audit watches should be able to share this code eventually. At the moment the audit watch code is a lot more complex. That code only creates one fsnotify watch per parent directory. That 'audit_parent' in turn has a list of 'audit_watches' which contain the name, ino, dev of the specific object we care about. This just creates one fsnotify watch per object we care about. So if you watch 100 inodes in /etc this code will create 100 fsnotify watches on /etc. The audit_watch code will instead create 1 fsnotify watch on /etc (the audit_parent) and then 100 individual watches chained from that fsnotify mark. We should be able to convert the audit_watch code to do one fsnotify mark per watch and simplify things/remove a whole lot of code. After that conversion we should be able to convert the audit_fsnotify code to support that hierarchy if the optimization is necessary. Move the access to the entry for audit_match_signal() to the beginning of the audit_del_rule() function in case the entry found is the same one passed in. This will enable it to be used by audit_autoremove_mark_rule(), kill_rules() and audit_remove_parent_watches(). This is a heavily modified and merged version of two patches originally submitted by Eric Paris.

2015-08-04audit: eliminate unnecessary extra layer of watch parent referencesRichard Guy Briggs
The audit watch parent count was imbalanced, adding an unnecessary layer of watch parent references. Decrement the additional parent reference when a watch is reused, already having a reference to the parent. audit_find_parent() gets a reference to the parent, if the parent is already known. This additional parental reference is not needed if the watch is subsequently found by audit_add_to_parent(), and consumed if the watch does not already exist, so we need to put the parent if the watch is found, and do nothing if this new watch is added to the parent. If the parent wasn't already known, it is created with a refcount of 1 and added to the audit_watch_group, then incremented by one to be subsequently consumed by the newly created watch in audit_add_to_parent(). The rule points to the watch, not to the parent, so the rule's refcount gets bumped, not the parent's.

2015-04-08Copy the kernel module data from user space in chunksLinus Torvalds
Unlike most (all?) other copies from user space, kernel module loading is almost unlimited in size. So we do a potentially huge "copy_from_user()" when we copy the module data from user space to the kernel buffer, which can be a latency concern when preemption is disabled (or voluntary). Also, because 'copy_from_user()' clears the tail of the kernel buffer on failures, even a *failed* copy can end up wasting a lot of time. Normally neither of these are concerns in real life, but they do trigger when doing stress-testing with trinity. Running in a VM seems to add its own overheadm causing trinity module load testing to even trigger the watchdog. The simple fix is to just chunk up the module loading, so that it never tries to copy insanely big areas in one go. That bounds the latency, and also the amount of (unnecessarily, in this case) cleared memory for the failure case.

2015-04-07mm: numa: disable change protection for vma(VM_HUGETLB)Naoya Horiguchi
Currently when a process accesses a hugetlb range protected with PROTNONE, unexpected COWs are triggered, which finally puts the hugetlb subsystem into a broken/uncontrollable state, where for example h->resv_huge_pages is subtracted too much and wraps around to a very large number, and the free hugepage pool is no longer maintainable. This patch simply stops changing protection for vma(VM_HUGETLB) to fix the problem. And this also allows us to avoid useless overhead of minor faults.

Dave Chinner reported the following on https://lkml.org/lkml/2015/3/1/226 Across the board the 4.0-rc1 numbers are much slower, and the degradation is far worse when using the large memory footprint configs. Perf points straight at the cause - this is from 4.0-rc1 on the "-o bhash=101073" config: - 56.07% 56.07% [kernel] [k] default_send_IPI_mask_sequence_phys - default_send_IPI_mask_sequence_phys - 99.99% physflat_send_IPI_mask - 99.37% native_send_call_func_ipi smp_call_function_many - native_flush_tlb_others - 99.85% flush_tlb_page ptep_clear_flush try_to_unmap_one rmap_walk try_to_unmap migrate_pages migrate_misplaced_page - handle_mm_fault - 99.73% __do_page_fault trace_do_page_fault do_async_page_fault + async_page_fault 0.63% native_send_call_func_single_ipi generic_exec_single smp_call_function_single This is showing excessive migration activity even though excessive migrations are meant to get throttled. Normally, the scan rate is tuned on a per-task basis depending on the locality of faults. However, if migrations fail for any reason then the PTE scanner may scan faster if the faults continue to be remote. This means there is higher system CPU overhead and fault trapping at exactly the time we know that migrations cannot happen. This patch tracks when migration failures occur and slows the PTE scanner.

2015-03-23timers/tick/broadcast-hrtimer: Fix suspicious RCU usage in idle loopPreeti U Murthy
The hrtimer mode of broadcast queues hrtimers in the idle entry path so as to wakeup cpus in deep idle states. The associated call graph is : cpuidle_idle_call() |____ clockevents_notify(CLOCK_EVT_NOTIFY_BROADCAST_ENTER, ....)) |_____tick_broadcast_set_event() |____clockevents_program_event() |____bc_set_next() The hrtimer_{start/cancel} functions call into tracing which uses RCU. But it is not legal to call into RCU in cpuidle because it is one of the quiescent states. Hence protect this region with RCU_NONIDLE which informs RCU that the cpu is momentarily non-idle. As an aside it is helpful to point out that the clock event device that is programmed here is not a per-cpu clock device; it is a pseudo clock device, used by the broadcast framework alone. The per-cpu clock device programming never goes through bc_set_next().

2015-03-23lockdep: Fix the module unload key range freeing logicPeter Zijlstra
Module unload calls lockdep_free_key_range(), which removes entries from the data structures. Most of the lockdep code OTOH assumes the data structures are append only; in specific see the comments in add_lock_to_list() and look_up_lock_class(). Clearly this has only worked by accident; make it work proper. The actual scenario to make it go boom would involve the memory freed by the module unlock being re-allocated and re-used for a lock inside of a rcu-sched grace period. This is a very unlikely scenario, still better plug the hole. Use RCU list iteration in all places and ammend the comments. Change lockdep_free_key_range() to issue a sync_sched() between removal from the lists and returning -- which results in the memory being freed. Further ensure the callers are placed correctly and comment the requirements.

2015-03-23sched: Fix RLIMIT_RTTIME when PI-boosting to RTBrian Silverman
When non-realtime tasks get priority-inheritance boosted to a realtime scheduling class, RLIMIT_RTTIME starts to apply to them. However, the counter used for checking this (the same one used for SCHED_RR timeslices) was not getting reset. This meant that tasks running with a non-realtime scheduling class which are repeatedly boosted to a realtime one, but never block while they are running realtime, eventually hit the timeout without ever running for a time over the limit. This patch resets the realtime timeslice counter when un-PI-boosting from an RT to a non-RT scheduling class. I have some test code with two threads and a shared PTHREAD_PRIO_INHERIT mutex which induces priority boosting and spins while boosted that gets killed by a SIGXCPU on non-fixed kernels but doesn't with this patch applied. It happens much faster with a CONFIG_PREEMPT_RT kernel, and does happen eventually with PREEMPT_VOLUNTARY kernels.

2015-03-17livepatch: Fix subtle race with coming and going modulesPetr Mladek
There is a notifier that handles live patches for coming and going modules. It takes klp_mutex lock to avoid races with coming and going patches but it does not keep the lock all the time. Therefore the following races are possible: 1. The notifier is called sometime in STATE_MODULE_COMING. The module is visible by find_module() in this state all the time. It means that new patch can be registered and enabled even before the notifier is called. It might create wrong order of stacked patches, see below for an example. 2. New patch could still see the module in the GOING state even after the notifier has been called. It will try to initialize the related object structures but the module could disappear at any time. There will stay mess in the structures. It might even cause an invalid memory access. This patch solves the problem by adding a boolean variable into struct module. The value is true after the coming and before the going handler is called. New patches need to be applied when the value is true and they need to ignore the module when the value is false. Note that we need to know state of all modules on the system. The races are related to new patches. Therefore we do not know what modules will get patched. Also note that we could not simply ignore going modules. The code from the module could be called even in the GOING state until mod->exit() finishes. If we start supporting patches with semantic changes between function calls, we need to apply new patches to any still usable code. See below for an example. Finally note that the patch solves only the situation when a new patch is registered. There are no such problems when the patch is being removed. It does not matter who disable the patch first, whether the normal disable_patch() or the module notifier. There is nothing to do once the patch is disabled. Alternative solutions: ====================== + reject new patches when a patched module is coming or going; this is ugly + wait with adding new patch until the module leaves the COMING and GOING states; this might be dangerous and complicated; we would need to release kgr_lock in the middle of the patch registration to avoid a deadlock with the coming and going handlers; also we might need a waitqueue for each module which seems to be even bigger overhead than the boolean + stop modules from entering COMING and GOING states; wait until modules leave these states when they are already there; looks complicated; we would need to ignore the module that asked to stop the others to avoid a deadlock; also it is unclear what to do when two modules asked to stop others and both are in COMING state (situation when two new patches are applied) + always register/enable new patches and fix up the potential mess (registered patches order) in klp_module_init(); this is nasty and prone to regressions in the future development + add another MODULE_STATE where the kallsyms are visible but the module is not used yet; this looks too complex; the module states are checked on "many" locations Example of patch stacking breakage: =================================== The notifier could _not_ _simply_ ignore already initialized module objects. For example, let's have three patches (P1, P2, P3) for functions a() and b() where a() is from vmcore and b() is from a module M. Something like: a() b() P1 a1() b1() P2 a2() b2() P3 a3() b3(3) If you load the module M after all patches are registered and enabled. The ftrace ops for function a() and b() has listed the functions in this order: ops_a->func_stack -> list(a3,a2,a1) ops_b->func_stack -> list(b3,b2,b1) , so the pointer to b3() is the first and will be used. Then you might have the following scenario. Let's start with state when patches P1 and P2 are registered and enabled but the module M is not loaded. Then ftrace ops for b() does not exist. Then we get into the following race: CPU0 CPU1 load_module(M) complete_formation() mod->state = MODULE_STATE_COMING; mutex_unlock(&module_mutex); klp_register_patch(P3); klp_enable_patch(P3); # STATE 1 klp_module_notify(M) klp_module_notify_coming(P1); klp_module_notify_coming(P2); klp_module_notify_coming(P3); # STATE 2 The ftrace ops for a() and b() then looks: STATE1: ops_a->func_stack -> list(a3,a2,a1); ops_b->func_stack -> list(b3); STATE2: ops_a->func_stack -> list(a3,a2,a1); ops_b->func_stack -> list(b2,b1,b3); therefore, b2() is used for the module but a3() is used for vmcore because they were the last added. Example of the race with going modules: ======================================= CPU0 CPU1 delete_module() #SYSCALL try_stop_module() mod->state = MODULE_STATE_GOING; mutex_unlock(&module_mutex); klp_register_patch() klp_enable_patch() #save place to switch universe b() # from module that is going a() # from core (patched) mod->exit(); Note that the function b() can be called until we call mod->exit(). If we do not apply patch against b() because it is in MODULE_STATE_GOING, it will call patched a() with modified semantic and things might get wrong.

Commit: a83fe28e2e45 ("perf: Fix put_event() ctx lock") changed the locking logic in put_event() by replacing mutex_lock_nested() with perf_event_ctx_lock_nested(), but didn't fix the subsequent mutex_unlock() with a correct counterpart, perf_event_ctx_unlock(). Contexts are thus leaked as a result of incremented refcount in perf_event_ctx_lock_nested().

2015-03-12kasan, module, vmalloc: rework shadow allocation for modulesAndrey Ryabinin
Current approach in handling shadow memory for modules is broken. Shadow memory could be freed only after memory shadow corresponds it is no longer used. vfree() called from interrupt context could use memory its freeing to store 'struct llist_node' in it: void vfree(const void *addr) { ... if (unlikely(in_interrupt())) { struct vfree_deferred *p = this_cpu_ptr(&vfree_deferred); if (llist_add((struct llist_node *)addr, &p->list)) schedule_work(&p->wq); Later this list node used in free_work() which actually frees memory. Currently module_memfree() called in interrupt context will free shadow before freeing module's memory which could provoke kernel crash. So shadow memory should be freed after module's memory. However, such deallocation order could race with kasan_module_alloc() in module_alloc(). Free shadow right before releasing vm area. At this point vfree()'d memory is not used anymore and yet not available for other allocations. New VM_KASAN flag used to indicate that vm area has dynamically allocated shadow memory so kasan frees shadow only if it was previously allocated.

2015-03-09ftrace: Fix ftrace enable ordering of sysctl ftrace_enabledSteven Rostedt (Red Hat)
Some archs (specifically PowerPC), are sensitive with the ordering of the enabling of the calls to function tracing and setting of the function to use to be traced. That is, update_ftrace_function() sets what function the ftrace_caller trampoline should call. Some archs require this to be set before calling ftrace_run_update_code(). Another bug was discovered, that ftrace_startup_sysctl() called ftrace_run_update_code() directly. If the function the ftrace_caller trampoline changes, then it will not be updated. Instead a call to ftrace_startup_enable() should be called because it tests to see if the callback changed since the code was disabled, and will tell the arch to update appropriately. Most archs do not need this notification, but PowerPC does. The problem could be seen by the following commands: # echo 0 > /proc/sys/kernel/ftrace_enabled # echo function > /sys/kernel/debug/tracing/current_tracer # echo 1 > /proc/sys/kernel/ftrace_enabled # cat /sys/kernel/debug/tracing/trace The trace will show that function tracing was not active.

2015-03-09ftrace: Fix en(dis)able graph caller when en(dis)abling record via sysctlPratyush Anand
When ftrace is enabled globally through the proc interface, we must check if ftrace_graph_active is set. If it is set, then we should also pass the FTRACE_START_FUNC_RET command to ftrace_run_update_code(). Similarly, when ftrace is disabled globally through the proc interface, we must check if ftrace_graph_active is set. If it is set, then we should also pass the FTRACE_STOP_FUNC_RET command to ftrace_run_update_code(). Consider the following situation. # echo 0 > /proc/sys/kernel/ftrace_enabled After this ftrace_enabled = 0. # echo function_graph > /sys/kernel/debug/tracing/current_tracer Since ftrace_enabled = 0, ftrace_enable_ftrace_graph_caller() is never called. # echo 1 > /proc/sys/kernel/ftrace_enabled Now ftrace_enabled will be set to true, but still ftrace_enable_ftrace_graph_caller() will not be called, which is not desired. Further if we execute the following after this: # echo nop > /sys/kernel/debug/tracing/current_tracer Now since ftrace_enabled is set it will call ftrace_disable_ftrace_graph_caller(), which causes a kernel warning on the ARM platform. On the ARM platform, when ftrace_enable_ftrace_graph_caller() is called, it checks whether the old instruction is a nop or not. If it's not a nop, then it returns an error. If it is a nop then it replaces instruction at that address with a branch to ftrace_graph_caller. ftrace_disable_ftrace_graph_caller() behaves just the opposite. Therefore, if generic ftrace code ever calls either ftrace_enable_ftrace_graph_caller() or ftrace_disable_ftrace_graph_caller() consecutively two times in a row, then it will return an error, which will cause the generic ftrace code to raise a warning. Note, x86 does not have an issue with this because the architecture specific code for ftrace_enable_ftrace_graph_caller() and ftrace_disable_ftrace_graph_caller() does not check the previous state, and calling either of these functions twice in a row has no ill effect.

2015-03-09ftrace: Clear REGS_EN and TRAMP_EN flags on disabling record via sysctlSteven Rostedt (Red Hat)
When /proc/sys/kernel/ftrace_enabled is set to zero, all function tracing is disabled. But the records that represent the functions still hold information about the ftrace_ops that are hooked to them. ftrace_ops may request "REGS" (have a full set of pt_regs passed to the callback), or "TRAMP" (the ops has its own trampoline to use). When the record is updated to represent the state of the ops hooked to it, it sets "REGS_EN" and/or "TRAMP_EN" to state that the callback points to the correct trampoline (REGS has its own trampoline). When ftrace_enabled is set to zero, all ftrace locations are a nop, so they do not point to any trampoline. But the _EN flags are still set. This can cause the accounting to go wrong when ftrace_enabled is cleared and an ops that has a trampoline is registered or unregistered. For example, the following will cause ftrace to crash: # echo function_graph > /sys/kernel/debug/tracing/current_tracer # echo 0 > /proc/sys/kernel/ftrace_enabled # echo nop > /sys/kernel/debug/tracing/current_tracer # echo 1 > /proc/sys/kernel/ftrace_enabled # echo function_graph > /sys/kernel/debug/tracing/current_tracer As function_graph uses a trampoline, when ftrace_enabled is set to zero the updates to the record are not done. When enabling function_graph again, the record will still have the TRAMP_EN flag set, and it will look for an op that has a trampoline other than the function_graph ops, and fail to find one.

2015-03-05cpuidle / sleep: Use broadcast timer for states that stop local timerRafael J. Wysocki
Commit 381063133246 (PM / sleep: Re-implement suspend-to-idle handling) overlooked the fact that entering some sufficiently deep idle states by CPUs may cause their local timers to stop and in those cases it is necessary to switch over to a broadcast timer prior to entering the idle state. If the cpuidle driver in use does not provide the new ->enter_freeze callback for any of the idle states, that problem affects suspend-to-idle too, but it is not taken into account after the changes made by commit 381063133246. Fix that by changing the definition of cpuidle_enter_freeze() and re-arranging of the code in cpuidle_idle_call(), so the former does not call cpuidle_enter() any more and the fallback case is handled by cpuidle_idle_call() directly.

2015-03-05workqueue: fix hang involving racing cancel[_delayed]_work_sync()'s for ↵Tejun Heo
PREEMPT_NONE cancel[_delayed]_work_sync() are implemented using __cancel_work_timer() which grabs the PENDING bit using try_to_grab_pending() and then flushes the work item with PENDING set to prevent the on-going execution of the work item from requeueing itself. try_to_grab_pending() can always grab PENDING bit without blocking except when someone else is doing the above flushing during cancelation. In that case, try_to_grab_pending() returns -ENOENT. In this case, __cancel_work_timer() currently invokes flush_work(). The assumption is that the completion of the work item is what the other canceling task would be waiting for too and thus waiting for the same condition and retrying should allow forward progress without excessive busy looping Unfortunately, this doesn't work if preemption is disabled or the latter task has real time priority. Let's say task A just got woken up from flush_work() by the completion of the target work item. If, before task A starts executing, task B gets scheduled and invokes __cancel_work_timer() on the same work item, its try_to_grab_pending() will return -ENOENT as the work item is still being canceled by task A and flush_work() will also immediately return false as the work item is no longer executing. This puts task B in a busy loop possibly preventing task A from executing and clearing the canceling state on the work item leading to a hang. task A task B worker executing work __cancel_work_timer() try_to_grab_pending() set work CANCELING flush_work() block for work completion completion, wakes up A __cancel_work_timer() while (forever) { try_to_grab_pending() -ENOENT as work is being canceled flush_work() false as work is no longer executing } This patch removes the possible hang by updating __cancel_work_timer() to explicitly wait for clearing of CANCELING rather than invoking flush_work() after try_to_grab_pending() fails with -ENOENT.

2015-03-04genirq / PM: Add flag for shared NO_SUSPEND interrupt linesRafael J. Wysocki
It currently is required that all users of NO_SUSPEND interrupt lines pass the IRQF_NO_SUSPEND flag when requesting the IRQ or the WARN_ON_ONCE() in irq_pm_install_action() will trigger. That is done to warn about situations in which unprepared interrupt handlers may be run unnecessarily for suspended devices and may attempt to access those devices by mistake. However, it may cause drivers that have no technical reasons for using IRQF_NO_SUSPEND to set that flag just because they happen to share the interrupt line with something like a timer. Moreover, the generic handling of wakeup interrupts introduced by commit 9ce7a25849e8 (genirq: Simplify wakeup mechanism) only works for IRQs without any NO_SUSPEND users, so the drivers of wakeup devices needing to use shared NO_SUSPEND interrupt lines for signaling system wakeup generally have to detect wakeup in their interrupt handlers. Thus if they happen to share an interrupt line with a NO_SUSPEND user, they also need to request that their interrupt handlers be run after suspend_device_irqs(). In both cases the reason for using IRQF_NO_SUSPEND is not because the driver in question has a genuine need to run its interrupt handler after suspend_device_irqs(), but because it happens to share the line with some other NO_SUSPEND user. Otherwise, the driver would do without IRQF_NO_SUSPEND just fine. To make it possible to specify that condition explicitly, introduce a new IRQ action handler flag for shared IRQs, IRQF_COND_SUSPEND, that, when set, will indicate to the IRQ core that the interrupt user is generally fine with suspending the IRQ, but it also can tolerate handler invocations after suspend_device_irqs() and, in particular, it is capable of detecting system wakeup and triggering it as appropriate from its interrupt handler. That will allow us to work around a problem with a shared timer interrupt line on at91 platforms.
