Allow PowerPC to skip the full memory barrier in switch_mm(), and only issue the barrier when scheduling into a task belonging to a process that has registered to use expedited private. Threads targeting the same VM but which belong to different thread groups is a tricky case. It has a few consequences: It turns out that we cannot rely on get_nr_threads(p) to count the number of threads using a VM. We can use (atomic_read(&mm->mm_users) == 1 && get_nr_threads(p) == 1) instead to skip the synchronize_sched() for cases where the VM only has a single user, and that user only has a single thread. It also turns out that we cannot use for_each_thread() to set thread flags in all threads using a VM, as it only iterates on the thread group. Therefore, test the membarrier state variable directly rather than relying on thread flags. This means membarrier_register_private_expedited() needs to set the MEMBARRIER_STATE_PRIVATE_EXPEDITED flag, issue synchronize_sched(), and only then set MEMBARRIER_STATE_PRIVATE_EXPEDITED_READY which allows private expedited membarrier commands to succeed. membarrier_arch_switch_mm() now tests for the MEMBARRIER_STATE_PRIVATE_EXPEDITED flag.

The BPF interpreter has been used as part of the spectre 2 attack CVE-2017-5715. A quote from goolge project zero blog: "At this point, it would normally be necessary to locate gadgets in the host kernel code that can be used to actually leak data by reading from an attacker-controlled location, shifting and masking the result appropriately and then using the result of that as offset to an attacker-controlled address for a load. But piecing gadgets together and figuring out which ones work in a speculation context seems annoying. So instead, we decided to use the eBPF interpreter, which is built into the host kernel - while there is no legitimate way to invoke it from inside a VM, the presence of the code in the host kernel's text section is sufficient to make it usable for the attack, just like with ordinary ROP gadgets." To make attacker job harder introduce BPF_JIT_ALWAYS_ON config option that removes interpreter from the kernel in favor of JIT-only mode. So far eBPF JIT is supported by: x64, arm64, arm32, sparc64, s390, powerpc64, mips64 The start of JITed program is randomized and code page is marked as read-only. In addition "constant blinding" can be turned on with net.core.bpf_jit_harden v2->v3: - move __bpf_prog_ret0 under ifdef (Daniel) v1->v2: - fix init order, test_bpf and cBPF (Daniel's feedback) - fix offloaded bpf (Jakub's feedback) - add 'return 0' dummy in case something can invoke prog->bpf_func - retarget bpf tree. For bpf-next the patch would need one extra hunk. It will be sent when the trees are merged back to net-next Considered doing: int bpf_jit_enable __read_mostly = BPF_EBPF_JIT_DEFAULT; but it seems better to land the patch as-is and in bpf-next remove bpf_jit_enable global variable from all JITs, consolidate in one place and remove this jit_init() function.

On uniprocessor systems, critical and non-critical tasks cannot be isolated, as there is only a single CPU core. Hence enabling CPU isolation by default on such systems does not make much sense. Instead of changing the default for !SMP, fix this by making the feature depend on SMP, with an override for compile-testing. Note that its sole selector (NO_HZ_FULL) already depends on SMP. This decreases kernel size for a default uniprocessor kernel by ca. 1 KiB.

Clean up the EXPERT menu (yet again). Move FHANDLE and CHECKPOINT_RESTORE into the primary EXPERT menu since they already depend on EXPERT. Move BPF_SYSCALL and USERFAULTFD out of the EXPERT Kconfig symbols menu list since they do not depend on EXPERT and were breaking the continuity of that menu list. Move all of the KALLSYMS Kconfig symbols to the end of the EXPERT menu. This separates the kernel services from the build options.

This SLUB free list pointer obfuscation code is modified from Brad Spengler/PaX Team's code in the last public patch of grsecurity/PaX based on my understanding of the code. Changes or omissions from the original code are mine and don't reflect the original grsecurity/PaX code. This adds a per-cache random value to SLUB caches that is XORed with their freelist pointer address and value. This adds nearly zero overhead and frustrates the very common heap overflow exploitation method of overwriting freelist pointers. A recent example of the attack is written up here: http://cyseclabs.com/blog/cve-2016-6187-heap-off-by-one-exploit and there is a section dedicated to the technique the book "A Guide to Kernel Exploitation: Attacking the Core". This is based on patches by Daniel Micay, and refactored to minimize the use of #ifdef. With 200-count cycles of "hackbench -g 20 -l 1000" I saw the following run times: before: mean 10.11882499999999999995 variance .03320378329145728642 stdev .18221905304181911048 after: mean 10.12654000000000000014 variance .04700556623115577889 stdev .21680767106160192064 The difference gets lost in the noise, but if the above is to be taken literally, using CONFIG_FREELIST_HARDENED is 0.07% slower.

Some hardened environments want to build kernels with slab_nomerge already set (so that they do not depend on remembering to set the kernel command line option). This is desired to reduce the risk of kernel heap overflows being able to overwrite objects from merged caches and changes the requirements for cache layout control, increasing the difficulty of these attacks. By keeping caches unmerged, these kinds of exploits can usually only damage objects in the same cache (though the risk to metadata exploitation is unchanged).

If the CONFIG_SRCU option is not selected, for example, when building arch/tile allnoconfig, the following build errors appear: kernel/rcu/tree.o: In function `srcu_online_cpu': tree.c:(.text+0x4248): multiple definition of `srcu_online_cpu' kernel/rcu/srcutree.o:srcutree.c:(.text+0x2120): first defined here kernel/rcu/tree.o: In function `srcu_offline_cpu': tree.c:(.text+0x4250): multiple definition of `srcu_offline_cpu' kernel/rcu/srcutree.o:srcutree.c:(.text+0x2160): first defined here The corresponding .config file shows CONFIG_TREE_SRCU=y, but no sign of CONFIG_SRCU, which fatally confuses SRCU's #ifdefs, resulting in the above errors. The reason this occurs is the folowing line in init/Kconfig's definition for TREE_SRCU: default y if !TINY_RCU && !CLASSIC_SRCU If CONFIG_CLASSIC_SRCU=n, as it will be in for allnoconfig, and if CONFIG_SMP=y, then we will get CONFIG_TREE_SRCU=y but no CONFIG_SRCU, as seen in the .config file, and which will result in the above errors. This error did not show up during rcutorture testing because rcutorture forces CONFIG_SRCU=y, as it must to prevent build errors in rcutorture.c.

SLUB creates a per-cache directory under /sys/kernel/slab which hosts a bunch of debug files. Usually, there aren't that many caches on a system and this doesn't really matter; however, if memcg is in use, each cache can have per-cgroup sub-caches. SLUB creates the same directories for these sub-caches under /sys/kernel/slab/$CACHE/cgroup. Unfortunately, because there can be a lot of cgroups, active or draining, the product of the numbers of caches, cgroups and files in each directory can reach a very high number - hundreds of thousands is commonplace. Millions and beyond aren't difficult to reach either. What's under /sys/kernel/slab is primarily for debugging and the information and control on the a root cache already cover its sub-caches. While having a separate directory for each sub-cache can be helpful for development, it doesn't make much sense to pay this amount of overhead by default. This patch introduces a boot parameter slub_memcg_sysfs which determines whether to create sysfs directories for per-memcg sub-caches. It also adds CONFIG_SLUB_MEMCG_SYSFS_ON which determines the boot parameter's default value and defaults to 0.

A preparation patch for printk_safe work. No functional change. - rename nmi.c to print_safe.c - add `printk_safe' prefix to some (which used both by printk-safe and printk-nmi) of the exported functions.

This add the kbuild infrastructure that will allow architectures to emit vmlinux symbol CRCs as 32-bit offsets to another location in the kernel where the actual value is stored. This works around problems with CRCs being mistaken for relocatable symbols on kernels that self relocate at runtime (i.e., powerpc with CONFIG_RELOCATABLE=y) For the kbuild side of things, this comes down to the following: - introducing a Kconfig symbol MODULE_REL_CRCS - adding a -R switch to genksyms to instruct it to emit the CRC symbols as references into the .rodata section - making modpost distinguish such references from absolute CRC symbols by the section index (SHN_ABS) - making kallsyms disregard non-absolute symbols with a __crc_ prefix Signed-off-by: NArd Biesheuvel <ard.biesheuvel@linaro.org> Signed-off-by: NLinus Torvalds <torvalds@linux-foundation.org>

PC/104 form factor devices serve a specific niche of embedded system users; most Linux users will not have PC/104 form factor devices. This patch introduces the PC104 Kconfig option, which should be used to filter PC/104 specific device drivers and options, so that only those users interested in PC/104 related options are exposed to them.

RCU_EXPEDITE_BOOT should speed up the boot process by enforcing synchronize_rcu_expedited() instead of synchronize_rcu() during the boot process. There should be no reason why one does not want this and there is no need worry about real time latency at this point. Therefore make it default. Note that users wishing to avoid expediting entirely, for example when bringing up new hardware possibly having flaky IPIs, can use the rcu_normal boot parameter to override boot-time expediting.

We now 'select SOCK_CGROUP_DATA' but Kconfig complains that this is not right when CONFIG_NET is disabled and there is no socket interface: warning: (CGROUP_BPF) selects SOCK_CGROUP_DATA which has unmet direct dependencies (NET) I don't know what the correct solution for this is, but simply removing the dependency on NET from SOCK_CGROUP_DATA by moving it out of the 'if NET' section avoids the warning and does not produce other build errors.

Added rdma cgroup controller that does accounting, limit enforcement on rdma/IB resources. Added rdma cgroup header file which defines its APIs to perform charging/uncharging functionality. It also defined APIs for RDMA/IB stack for device registration. Devices which are registered will participate in controller functions of accounting and limit enforcements. It define rdmacg_device structure to bind IB stack and RDMA cgroup controller. RDMA resources are tracked using resource pool. Resource pool is per device, per cgroup entity which allows setting up accounting limits on per device basis. Currently resources are defined by the RDMA cgroup. Resource pool is created/destroyed dynamically whenever charging/uncharging occurs respectively and whenever user configuration is done. Its a tradeoff of memory vs little more code space that creates resource pool object whenever necessary, instead of creating them during cgroup creation and device registration time.

This enables CONFIG_MODVERSIONS again, but allows for missing symbol CRC information in order to work around the issue that newer binutils versions seem to occasionally drop the CRC on the floor. binutils 2.26 seems to work fine, while binutils 2.27 seems to break MODVERSIONS of symbols that have been defined in assembler files. [ We've had random missing CRC's before - it may be an old problem that just is now reliably triggered with the weak asm symbols and a new version of binutils ] Some day I really do want to remove MODVERSIONS entirely. Sadly, today does not appear to be that day: Debian people apparently do want the option to enable MODVERSIONS to make it easier to have external modules across kernel versions, and this seems to be a fairly minimal fix for the annoying problem.

CONFIG_MODVERSIONS has been broken for pretty much the whole 4.9 series, and quite frankly, nobody has cared very deeply. We absolutely know how to fix it, and it's not _complicated_, but it's not exactly pretty either. This oneliner fixes it without the ugliness, and allows for further future cleanups.
