      srcu: Introduce CLASSIC_SRCU Kconfig option · dad81a20
      Paul E. McKenney 提交于
      The TREE_SRCU rewrite is large and a bit on the non-simple side, so
      this commit helps reduce risk by allowing the old v4.11 SRCU algorithm
      to be selected using a new CLASSIC_SRCU Kconfig option that depends
      on RCU_EXPERT.  The default is to use the new TREE_SRCU and TINY_SRCU
      algorithms, in order to help get these the testing that they need.
      However, if your users do not require the update-side scalability that
      is to be provided by TREE_SRCU, select RCU_EXPERT and then CLASSIC_SRCU
      to revert back to the old classic SRCU algorithm.

      kernel: add kcov code coverage · 5c9a8750
      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.

      rcu: Create rcu_sync infrastructure · cc44ca84
      Oleg Nesterov 提交于
      The rcu_sync infrastructure can be thought of as infrastructure to be
      used to implement reader-writer primitives having extremely lightweight
      readers during times when there are no writers.  The first use is in
      the percpu_rwsem used by the VFS subsystem.
      
      This infrastructure is functionally equivalent to
      
              struct rcu_sync_struct {
                      atomic_t counter;
              };
      
      	/* Check possibility of fast-path read-side operations. */
              static inline bool rcu_sync_is_idle(struct rcu_sync_struct *rss)
              {
                      return atomic_read(&rss->counter) == 0;
              }
      
      	/* Tell readers to use slowpaths. */
              static inline void rcu_sync_enter(struct rcu_sync_struct *rss)
              {
                      atomic_inc(&rss->counter);
                      synchronize_sched();
              }
      
      	/* Allow readers to once again use fastpaths. */
              static inline void rcu_sync_exit(struct rcu_sync_struct *rss)
              {
                      synchronize_sched();
                      atomic_dec(&rss->counter);
              }
      
      The main difference is that it records the state and only calls
      synchronize_sched() if required.  At least some of the calls to
      synchronize_sched() will be optimized away when rcu_sync_enter() and
      rcu_sync_exit() are invoked repeatedly in quick succession.

      rcu: Make SRCU optional by using CONFIG_SRCU · 83fe27ea
      Pranith Kumar 提交于
      SRCU is not necessary to be compiled by default in all cases. For tinification
      efforts not compiling SRCU unless necessary is desirable.
      
      The current patch tries to make compiling SRCU optional by introducing a new
      Kconfig option CONFIG_SRCU which is selected when any of the components making
      use of SRCU are selected.
      
      If we do not select CONFIG_SRCU, srcu.o will not be compiled at all.
