      <linux/hash.h>: Add support for architecture-specific functions · 468a9428
      由 George Spelvin 提交于 
      This is just the infrastructure; there are no users yet.

This is modelled on CONFIG_ARCH_RANDOM; a CONFIG_ symbol declares
the existence of <asm/hash.h>.

That file may define its own versions of various functions, and define
HAVE_* symbols (no CONFIG_ prefix!) to suppress the generic ones.

Included is a self-test (in lib/test_hash.c) that verifies the basics.
It is NOT in general required that the arch-specific functions compute
the same thing as the generic, but if a HAVE_* symbol is defined with
the value 1, then equality is tested.

      debugfs: prevent access to possibly dead file_operations at file open · 9fd4dcec
      由 Nicolai Stange 提交于 
      Nothing prevents a dentry found by path lookup before a return of
__debugfs_remove() to actually get opened after that return. Now, after
the return of __debugfs_remove(), there are no guarantees whatsoever
regarding the memory the corresponding inode's file_operations object
had been kept in.

Since __debugfs_remove() is seldomly invoked, usually from module exit
handlers only, the race is hard to trigger and the impact is very low.

A discussion of the problem outlined above as well as a suggested
solution can be found in the (sub-)thread rooted at

  http://lkml.kernel.org/g/20130401203445.GA20862@ZenIV.linux.org.uk
  ("Yet another pipe related oops.")

Basically, Greg KH suggests to introduce an intermediate fops and
Al Viro points out that a pointer to the original ones may be stored in
->d_fsdata.

Follow this line of reasoning:
- Add SRCU as a reverse dependency of DEBUG_FS.
- Introduce a srcu_struct object for the debugfs subsystem.
- In debugfs_create_file(), store a pointer to the original
  file_operations object in ->d_fsdata.
- Make debugfs_remove() and debugfs_remove_recursive() wait for a
  SRCU grace period after the dentry has been delete()'d and before they
  return to their callers.
- Introduce an intermediate file_operations object named
  "debugfs_open_proxy_file_operations". It's ->open() functions checks,
  under the protection of a SRCU read lock, whether the dentry is still
  alive, i.e. has not been d_delete()'d and if so, tries to acquire a
  reference on the owning module.
  On success, it sets the file object's ->f_op to the original
  file_operations and forwards the ongoing open() call to the original
  ->open().
- For clarity, rename the former debugfs_file_operations to
  debugfs_noop_file_operations -- they are in no way canonical.

The choice of SRCU over "normal" RCU is justified by the fact, that the
former may also be used to protect ->i_private data from going away
during the execution of a file's readers and writers which may (and do)
sleep.

Finally, introduce the fs/debugfs/internal.h header containing some
declarations internal to the debugfs implementation.

      kernel: add kcov code coverage · 5c9a8750
      由 Dmitry Vyukov 提交于 
      kcov provides code coverage collection for coverage-guided fuzzing
(randomized testing).  Coverage-guided fuzzing is a testing technique
that uses coverage feedback to determine new interesting inputs to a
system.  A notable user-space example is AFL
(http://lcamtuf.coredump.cx/afl/).  However, this technique is not
widely used for kernel testing due to missing compiler and kernel
support.

kcov does not aim to collect as much coverage as possible.  It aims to
collect more or less stable coverage that is function of syscall inputs.
To achieve this goal it does not collect coverage in soft/hard
interrupts and instrumentation of some inherently non-deterministic or
non-interesting parts of kernel is disbled (e.g.  scheduler, locking).

Currently there is a single coverage collection mode (tracing), but the
API anticipates additional collection modes.  Initially I also
implemented a second mode which exposes coverage in a fixed-size hash
table of counters (what Quentin used in his original patch).  I've
dropped the second mode for simplicity.

This patch adds the necessary support on kernel side.  The complimentary
compiler support was added in gcc revision 231296.

We've used this support to build syzkaller system call fuzzer, which has
found 90 kernel bugs in just 2 months:

  https://github.com/google/syzkaller/wiki/Found-Bugs

We've also found 30+ bugs in our internal systems with syzkaller.
Another (yet unexplored) direction where kcov coverage would greatly
help is more traditional "blob mutation".  For example, mounting a
random blob as a filesystem, or receiving a random blob over wire.

Why not gcov.  Typical fuzzing loop looks as follows: (1) reset
coverage, (2) execute a bit of code, (3) collect coverage, repeat.  A
typical coverage can be just a dozen of basic blocks (e.g.  an invalid
input).  In such context gcov becomes prohibitively expensive as
reset/collect coverage steps depend on total number of basic
blocks/edges in program (in case of kernel it is about 2M).  Cost of
kcov depends only on number of executed basic blocks/edges.  On top of
that, kernel requires per-thread coverage because there are always
background threads and unrelated processes that also produce coverage.
With inlined gcov instrumentation per-thread coverage is not possible.

kcov exposes kernel PCs and control flow to user-space which is
insecure.  But debugfs should not be mapped as user accessible.

Based on a patch by Quentin Casasnovas.

      Workqueue used to guarantee local execution for work items queued
without explicit target CPU.  The guarantee is gone now which can
break some usages in subtle ways.  To flush out those cases, this
patch implements a debug feature which forces round-robin CPU
selection for all such work items.

The debug feature defaults to off and can be enabled with a kernel
parameter.  The default can be flipped with a debug config option.

      page-flags: introduce page flags policies wrt compound pages · 95ad9755
      由 Kirill A. Shutemov 提交于 
      This patch adds a third argument to macros which create function
definitions for page flags.  This argument defines how page-flags
helpers behave on compound functions.

For now we define four policies:

 - PF_ANY: the helper function operates on the page it gets, regardless
   if it's non-compound, head or tail.

 - PF_HEAD: the helper function operates on the head page of the
   compound page if it gets tail page.

 - PF_NO_TAIL: only head and non-compond pages are acceptable for this
   helper function.

 - PF_NO_COMPOUND: only non-compound pages are acceptable for this
   helper function.

For now we use policy PF_ANY for all helpers, which matches current
behaviour.

We do not enforce the policy for TESTPAGEFLAG, because we have flags
checked for random pages all over the kernel.  Noticeable exception to
this is PageTransHuge() which triggers VM_BUG_ON() for tail page.

      restrict /dev/mem to idle io memory ranges · 90a545e9
      由 Dan Williams 提交于 
      This effectively promotes IORESOURCE_BUSY to IORESOURCE_EXCLUSIVE
semantics by default.  If userspace really believes it is safe to access
the memory region it can also perform the extra step of disabling an
active driver.  This protects device address ranges with read side
effects and otherwise directs userspace to use the driver.

Persistent memory presents a large "mistake surface" to /dev/mem as now
accidental writes can corrupt a filesystem.

In general if a device driver is busily using a memory region it already
informs other parts of the kernel to not touch it via
request_mem_region().  /dev/mem should honor the same safety restriction
by default.  Debugging a device driver from userspace becomes more
difficult with this enabled.  Any application using /dev/mem or mmap of
sysfs pci resources will now need to perform the extra step of either:

1/ Disabling the driver, for example:

   echo <device id> > /dev/bus/<parent bus>/drivers/<driver name>/unbind

2/ Rebooting with "iomem=relaxed" on the command line

3/ Recompiling with CONFIG_IO_STRICT_DEVMEM=n

Traditional users of /dev/mem like dosemu are unaffected because the
first 1MB of memory is not subject to the IO_STRICT_DEVMEM restriction.
Legacy X configurations use /dev/mem to talk to graphics hardware, but
that functionality has since moved to kernel graphics drivers.

      workqueue: implement lockup detector · 82607adc
      由 Tejun Heo 提交于 
      Workqueue stalls can happen from a variety of usage bugs such as
missing WQ_MEM_RECLAIM flag or concurrency managed work item
indefinitely staying RUNNING.  These stalls can be extremely difficult
to hunt down because the usual warning mechanisms can't detect
workqueue stalls and the internal state is pretty opaque.

To alleviate the situation, this patch implements workqueue lockup
detector.  It periodically monitors all worker_pools periodically and,
if any pool failed to make forward progress longer than the threshold
duration, triggers warning and dumps workqueue state as follows.

 BUG: workqueue lockup - pool cpus=0 node=0 flags=0x0 nice=0 stuck for 31s!
 Showing busy workqueues and worker pools:
 workqueue events: flags=0x0
   pwq 0: cpus=0 node=0 flags=0x0 nice=0 active=17/256

   pwq 0: cpus=0 node=0 flags=0x0 nice=0 active=1/1

 ...

The detection mechanism is controller through kernel parameter
workqueue.watchdog_thresh and can be updated at runtime through the
sysfs module parameter file.

      test_printf: test printf family at runtime · 707cc728
      由 Rasmus Villemoes 提交于 
      This adds a simple module for testing the kernel's printf facilities.
Previously, some %p extensions have caused a wrong return value in case
the entire output didn't fit and/or been unusable in kasprintf().  This
should help catch such issues.  Also, it should help ensure that changes
to the formatting algorithms don't break anything.

I'm not sure if we have a struct dentry or struct file lying around at
boot time or if we can fake one, but most %p extensions should be
testable, as should the ordinary number and string formatting.

The nature of vararg functions means we can't use a more conventional
table-driven approach.

For now, this is mostly a skeleton; contributions are very
welcome. Some tests are/will be slightly annoying to write, since the
expected output depends on stuff like CONFIG_*, sizeof(long), runtime
values etc.

      futex: Fault/error injection capabilities · ab51fbab
      由 Davidlohr Bueso 提交于 
      Although futexes are well known for being a royal pita,
we really have very little debugging capabilities - except
for relying on tglx's eye half the time.

By simply making use of the existing fault-injection machinery,
we can improve this situation, allowing generating artificial
uaddress faults and deadlock scenarios. Of course, when this is
disabled in production systems, the overhead for failure checks
is practically zero -- so this is very cheap at the same time.
Future work would be nice to now enhance trinity to make use of
this.

There is a special tunable 'ignore-private', which can filter
out private futexes. Given the tsk->make_it_fail filter and
this option, pi futexes can be narrowed down pretty closely.

Kconfig parameters are provided, RCU_TORTURE_TEST_SLOW_PREINIT to
enable the slowing down of propagating CPU-hotplug changes up the
combining tree along with RCU_TORTURE_TEST_SLOW_PREINIT_DELAY to
specify the delay in jiffies, and RCU_TORTURE_TEST_SLOW_CLEANUP
to enable the slowing down of the end-of-grace-period cleanup scan
along with RCU_TORTURE_TEST_SLOW_CLEANUP_DELAY to specify the delay
in jiffies.  Boot-time parameters named rcutree.gp_preinit_delay and
rcutree.gp_cleanup_delay allow these delays to be specified at boot time.

      rcu: Control grace-period delays directly from value · 8d7dc928
      由 Paul E. McKenney 提交于 
      In a misguided attempt to avoid an #ifdef, the use of the
gp_init_delay module parameter was conditioned on the corresponding
RCU_TORTURE_TEST_SLOW_INIT Kconfig variable, using IS_ENABLED() at
the point of use in the code.  This meant that the compiler always saw
the delay, which meant that RCU_TORTURE_TEST_SLOW_INIT_DELAY had to be
unconditionally defined.  This in turn caused "make oldconfig" to ask
pointless questions about the value of RCU_TORTURE_TEST_SLOW_INIT_DELAY
in cases where it was not even used.

This commit avoids these pointless questions by defining gp_init_delay
under #ifdef.  In one branch, gp_init_delay is initialized to
RCU_TORTURE_TEST_SLOW_INIT_DELAY and is also a module parameter (thus
allowing boot-time modification), and in the other branch gp_init_delay
is a const variable initialized by default to zero.

This approach also simplifies the code at the delay point by eliminating
the IS_DEFINED().  Because gp_init_delay is constant zero in the no-delay
case intended for production use, the "gp_init_delay > 0" check causes
the delay to become dead code, as desired in this case.  In addition,
this commit replaces magic constant "10" with the preprocessor variable
PER_RCU_NODE_PERIOD, which controls the number of grace periods that
are allowed to elapse at full speed before a delay is inserted.

      Kconfig: memtest: update number of test patterns up to 17 · 8d8cfb47
      由 Vladimir Murzin 提交于 
      Additional test patterns for memtest were introduced since commit
63823126 ("x86: memtest: add additional (regular) test patterns"),
but looks like Kconfig was not updated that time.

Update Kconfig entry with the actual number of maximum test patterns.

      mm: move memtest under mm · 4a20799d
      由 Vladimir Murzin 提交于 
      Memtest is a simple feature which fills the memory with a given set of
patterns and validates memory contents, if bad memory regions is detected
it reserves them via memblock API.  Since memblock API is widely used by
other architectures this feature can be enabled outside of x86 world.

This patch set promotes memtest to live under generic mm umbrella and
enables memtest feature for arm/arm64.

It was reported that this patch set was useful for tracking down an issue
with some errant DMA on an arm64 platform.

This patch (of 6):

There is nothing platform dependent in the core memtest code, so other
platforms might benefit from this feature too.

      timekeeping: Add debugging checks to warn if we see delays · 3c17ad19
      由 John Stultz 提交于 
      Recently there's been requests for better sanity
checking in the time code, so that it's more clear
when something is going wrong, since timekeeping issues
could manifest in a large number of strange ways in
various subsystems.

Thus, this patch adds some extra infrastructure to
add a check to update_wall_time() to print two new
warnings:

 1) if we see the call delayed beyond the 'max_cycles'
    overflow point,

 2) or if we see the call delayed beyond the clocksource's
    'max_idle_ns' value, which is currently 50% of the
    overflow point.

This extra infrastructure is conditional on
a new CONFIG_DEBUG_TIMEKEEPING option, also
added in this patch - default off.

Tested this a bit by halting qemu for specified
lengths of time to trigger the warnings.

      rcu: Provide diagnostic option to slow down grace-period initialization · 37745d28
      由 Paul E. McKenney 提交于 
      Grace-period initialization normally proceeds quite quickly, so
that it is very difficult to reproduce races against grace-period
initialization.  This commit therefore allows grace-period
initialization to be artificially slowed down, increasing
race-reproduction probability.  A pair of new Kconfig parameters are
provided, CONFIG_RCU_TORTURE_TEST_SLOW_INIT to enable the slowdowns, and
CONFIG_RCU_TORTURE_TEST_SLOW_INIT_DELAY to specify the number of jiffies
of slowdown to apply.  A boot-time parameter named rcutree.gp_init_delay
allows boot-time delay to be specified.  By default, no delay will be
applied even if CONFIG_RCU_TORTURE_TEST_SLOW_INIT is set.
