      mm/mmu_gather: invalidate TLB correctly on batch allocation failure and flush · 0ed13259
      由 Peter Zijlstra 提交于 
      Architectures for which we have hardware walkers of Linux page table
should flush TLB on mmu gather batch allocation failures and batch flush.
Some architectures like POWER supports multiple translation modes (hash
and radix) and in the case of POWER only radix translation mode needs the
above TLBI.  This is because for hash translation mode kernel wants to
avoid this extra flush since there are no hardware walkers of linux page
table.  With radix translation, the hardware also walks linux page table
and with that, kernel needs to make sure to TLB invalidate page walk cache
before page table pages are freed.

More details in commit d86564a2 ("mm/tlb, x86/mm: Support invalidating
TLB caches for RCU_TABLE_FREE")

The changes to sparc are to make sure we keep the old behavior since we
are now removing HAVE_RCU_TABLE_NO_INVALIDATE.  The default value for
tlb_needs_table_invalidate is to always force an invalidate and sparc can
avoid the table invalidate.  Hence we define tlb_needs_table_invalidate to
false for sparc architecture.

      y2038: allow disabling time32 system calls · 942437c9
      由 Arnd Bergmann 提交于 
      At the moment, the compilation of the old time32 system calls depends
purely on the architecture. As systems with new libc based on 64-bit
time_t are getting deployed, even architectures that previously supported
these (notably x86-32 and arm32 but also many others) no longer depend on
them, and removing them from a kernel image results in a smaller kernel
binary, the same way we can leave out many other optional system calls.

More importantly, on an embedded system that needs to keep working
beyond year 2038, any user space program calling these system calls
is likely a bug, so removing them from the kernel image does provide
an extra debugging help for finding broken applications.

I've gone back and forth on hiding this option unless CONFIG_EXPERT
is set. This version leaves it visible based on the logic that
eventually it will be turned off indefinitely.

      dma-mapping: remove CONFIG_ARCH_NO_COHERENT_DMA_MMAP · 62fcee9a
      由 Christoph Hellwig 提交于 
      CONFIG_ARCH_NO_COHERENT_DMA_MMAP is now functionally identical to
!CONFIG_MMU, so remove the separate symbol.  The only difference is that
arm did not set it for !CONFIG_MMU, but arm uses a separate dma mapping
implementation including its own mmap method, which is handled by moving
the CONFIG_MMU check in dma_can_mmap so that is only applies to the
dma-direct case, just as the other ifdefs for it.

      ring-buffer: Remove HAVE_64BIT_ALIGNED_ACCESS · 86b3de60
      由 Steven Rostedt (VMware) 提交于 
      Commit c19fa94a ("Add HAVE_64BIT_ALIGNED_ACCESS") added the config for
architectures that required 64bit aligned access for all 64bit words. As
the ftrace ring buffer stores data on 4 byte alignment, this config option
was used to force it to store data on 8 byte alignment to make sure the data
being stored and written directly into the ring buffer was 8 byte aligned as
it would cause issues trying to write an 8 byte word on a 4 not 8 byte
aligned memory location.

But with the removal of the metag architecture, which was the only
architecture to use this, there is no architecture supported by Linux that
requires 8 byte aligne access for all 8 byte words (4 byte alignment is good
enough). Removing this config can simplify the code a bit.

Note, __kernel_map_pages() does something similar but flushes the TLB and
doesn't reset the permission bits to default on all architectures.

Also add an ARCH config ARCH_HAS_SET_DIRECT_MAP for specifying whether
these have an actual implementation or a default empty one.

      y2038: Make CONFIG_64BIT_TIME unconditional · f3d96467
      由 Arnd Bergmann 提交于 
      As Stepan Golosunov points out, there is a small mistake in the
get_timespec64() function in the kernel. It was originally added under the
assumption that CONFIG_64BIT_TIME would get enabled on all 32-bit and
64-bit architectures, but when the conversion was done, it was only turned
on for 32-bit ones.

The effect is that the get_timespec64() function never clears the upper
half of the tv_nsec field for 32-bit tasks in compat mode. Clearing this is
required for POSIX compliant behavior of functions that pass a 'timespec'
structure with a 64-bit tv_sec and a 32-bit tv_nsec, plus uninitialized
padding.

The easiest fix for linux-5.1 is to just make the Kconfig symbol
unconditional, as it was originally intended. As a follow-up, the #ifdef
CONFIG_64BIT_TIME can be removed completely..

Note: for native 32-bit mode, no change is needed, this works as
designed and user space should never need to clear the upper 32
bits of the tv_nsec field, in or out of the kernel.

      locking/rwsem: Enable lock event counting · a8654596
      由 Waiman Long 提交于 
      Add lock event counting calls so that we can track the number of lock
events happening in the rwsem code.

With CONFIG_LOCK_EVENT_COUNTS on and booting a 4-socket 112-thread x86-64
system, the rwsem counts after system bootup were as follows:

  rwsem_opt_fail=261
  rwsem_opt_wlock=50636
  rwsem_rlock=445
  rwsem_rlock_fail=0
  rwsem_rlock_fast=22
  rwsem_rtrylock=810144
  rwsem_sleep_reader=441
  rwsem_sleep_writer=310
  rwsem_wake_reader=355
  rwsem_wake_writer=2335
  rwsem_wlock=261
  rwsem_wlock_fail=0
  rwsem_wtrylock=20583

It can be seen that most of the lock acquisitions in the slowpath were
write-locks in the optimistic spinning code path with no sleeping at
all. For this system, over 97% of the locks are acquired via optimistic
spinning. It illustrates the importance of optimistic spinning in
improving the performance of rwsem.

      locking/lock_events: Make lock_events available for all archs & other locks · fb346fd9
      由 Waiman Long 提交于 
      The QUEUED_LOCK_STAT option to report queued spinlocks event counts
was previously allowed only on x86 architecture. To make the locking
event counting code more useful, it is now renamed to a more generic
LOCK_EVENT_COUNTS config option. This new option will be available to
all the architectures that use qspinlock at the moment.

Other locking code can now start to use the generic locking event
counting code by including lock_events.h and put the new locking event
names into the lock_events_list.h header file.

My experience with lock event counting is that it gives valuable insight
on how the locking code works and what can be done to make it better. I
would like to extend this benefit to other locking code like mutex and
rwsem in the near future.

The PV qspinlock specific code will stay in qspinlock_stat.h. The
locking event counters will now reside in the <debugfs>/lock_event_counts
directory.

      32-bit userspace ABI: introduce ARCH_32BIT_OFF_T config option · 942fa985
      由 Yury Norov 提交于 
      All new 32-bit architectures should have 64-bit userspace off_t type, but
existing architectures has 32-bit ones.

To enforce the rule, new config option is added to arch/Kconfig that defaults
ARCH_32BIT_OFF_T to be disabled for new 32-bit architectures. All existing
32-bit architectures enable it explicitly.

New option affects force_o_largefile() behaviour. Namely, if userspace
off_t is 64-bits long, we have no reason to reject user to open big files.

Note that even if architectures has only 64-bit off_t in the kernel
(arc, c6x, h8300, hexagon, nios2, openrisc, and unicore32),
a libc may use 32-bit off_t, and therefore want to limit the file size
to 4GB unless specified differently in the open flags.

      This is the big flip, where all 32-bit architectures set COMPAT_32BIT_TIME
and use the _time32 system calls from the former compat layer instead
of the system calls that take __kernel_timespec and similar arguments.

The temporary redirects for __kernel_timespec, __kernel_itimerspec
and __kernel_timex can get removed with this.

It would be easy to split this commit by architecture, but with the new

which makes it a little easier to check that the changes are the same
in each table.

Note that the encryption related early memremap routines in
arch/x86/mm/ioremap.c cannot be built for 32-bit x86 without triggering
the following warning:

which essentially means they are 64-bit only anyway. However, we cannot
make them dependent on CONFIG_ARCH_HAS_MEM_ENCRYPT, since that is always
defined, even for i386 (and changing that results in a slew of build errors)

So instead, build those routines only if CONFIG_AMD_MEM_ENCRYPT is

We can improve this by testing 'asm goto' support in Kconfig, then
make JUMP_LABEL depend on CC_HAS_ASM_GOTO.

Ugly #ifdef HAVE_JUMP_LABEL will go away, and CONFIG_JUMP_LABEL will
match to the real kernel capability.

      x86/entry: Add STACKLEAK erasing the kernel stack at the end of syscalls · afaef01c
      由 Alexander Popov 提交于 
      The STACKLEAK feature (initially developed by PaX Team) has the following
benefits:

1. Reduces the information that can be revealed through kernel stack leak
   bugs. The idea of erasing the thread stack at the end of syscalls is
   similar to CONFIG_PAGE_POISONING and memzero_explicit() in kernel
   crypto, which all comply with FDP_RIP.2 (Full Residual Information
   Protection) of the Common Criteria standard.

2. Blocks some uninitialized stack variable attacks (e.g. CVE-2017-17712,
   CVE-2010-2963). That kind of bugs should be killed by improving C
   compilers in future, which might take a long time.

This commit introduces the code filling the used part of the kernel
stack with a poison value before returning to userspace. Full
STACKLEAK feature also contains the gcc plugin which comes in a
separate commit.

The STACKLEAK feature is ported from grsecurity/PaX. More information at:
  https://grsecurity.net/
  https://pax.grsecurity.net/

This code is modified from Brad Spengler/PaX Team's code in the last
public patch of grsecurity/PaX based on our understanding of the code.
Changes or omissions from the original code are ours and don't reflect
the original grsecurity/PaX code.

Performance impact:

Hardware: Intel Core i7-4770, 16 GB RAM

Test #1: building the Linux kernel on a single core
        0.91% slowdown

Test #2: hackbench -s 4096 -l 2000 -g 15 -f 25 -P
        4.2% slowdown

So the STACKLEAK description in Kconfig includes: "The tradeoff is the
performance impact: on a single CPU system kernel compilation sees a 1%
slowdown, other systems and workloads may vary and you are advised to
test this feature on your expected workload before deploying it".

      mm/tlb, x86/mm: Support invalidating TLB caches for RCU_TABLE_FREE · d86564a2
      由 Peter Zijlstra 提交于 
      Jann reported that x86 was missing required TLB invalidates when he
hit the !*batch slow path in tlb_remove_table().

This is indeed the case; RCU_TABLE_FREE does not provide TLB (cache)
invalidates, the PowerPC-hash where this code originated and the
Sparc-hash where this was subsequently used did not need that. ARM
which later used this put an explicit TLB invalidate in their
__p*_free_tlb() functions, and PowerPC-radix followed that example.

But when we hooked up x86 we failed to consider this. Fix this by
(optionally) hooking tlb_remove_table() into the TLB invalidate code.

NOTE: s390 was also needing something like this and might now
      be able to use the generic code again.

[ Modified to be on top of Nick's cleanups, which simplified this patch
  now that tlb_flush_mmu_tlbonly() really only flushes the TLB - Linus ]

      arch: enable relative relocations for arm64, power and x86 · 271ca788
      由 Ard Biesheuvel 提交于 
      Patch series "add support for relative references in special sections", v10.

This adds support for emitting special sections such as initcall arrays,
PCI fixups and tracepoints as relative references rather than absolute
references.  This reduces the size by 50% on 64-bit architectures, but
more importantly, it removes the need for carrying relocation metadata for
these sections in relocatable kernels (e.g., for KASLR) that needs to be
fixed up at boot time.  On arm64, this reduces the vmlinux footprint of
such a reference by 8x (8 byte absolute reference + 24 byte RELA entry vs
4 byte relative reference)

Patch #3 was sent out before as a single patch.  This series supersedes
the previous submission.  This version makes relative ksymtab entries
dependent on the new Kconfig symbol HAVE_ARCH_PREL32_RELOCATIONS rather
than trying to infer from kbuild test robot replies for which
architectures it should be blacklisted.

Patch #1 introduces the new Kconfig symbol HAVE_ARCH_PREL32_RELOCATIONS,
and sets it for the main architectures that are expected to benefit the
most from this feature, i.e., 64-bit architectures or ones that use
runtime relocations.

Patch #2 add support for #define'ing __DISABLE_EXPORTS to get rid of
ksymtab/kcrctab sections in decompressor and EFI stub objects when
rebuilding existing C files to run in a different context.

Patches #4 - #6 implement relative references for initcalls, PCI fixups
and tracepoints, respectively, all of which produce sections with order
~1000 entries on an arm64 defconfig kernel with tracing enabled.  This
means we save about 28 KB of vmlinux space for each of these patches.

[From the v7 series blurb, which included the jump_label patches as well]:

  For the arm64 kernel, all patches combined reduce the memory footprint
  of vmlinux by about 1.3 MB (using a config copied from Ubuntu that has
  KASLR enabled), of which ~1 MB is the size reduction of the RELA section
  in .init, and the remaining 300 KB is reduction of .text/.data.

This patch (of 6):

Before updating certain subsystems to use place relative 32-bit
relocations in special sections, to save space and reduce the number of
absolute relocations that need to be processed at runtime by relocatable
kernels, introduce the Kconfig symbol and define it for some architectures
that should be able to support and benefit from it.

      compiler.h: Allow arch-specific asm/compiler.h · 04f264d3
      由 Paul Burton 提交于 
      We have a need to override the definition of
barrier_before_unreachable() for MIPS, which means we either need to add
architecture-specific code into linux/compiler-gcc.h or we need to allow
the architecture to provide a header that can define the macro before
the generic definition. The latter seems like the better approach.

A straightforward approach to the per-arch header is to make use of
asm-generic to provide a default empty header & adjust architectures
which don't need anything specific to make use of that by adding the
header to generic-y. Unfortunately this doesn't work so well due to
commit 28128c61 ("kconfig.h: Include compiler types to avoid missed
struct attributes") which caused linux/compiler_types.h to be included
in the compilation of every C file via the -include linux/kconfig.h flag
in c_flags.

Because the -include flag is present for all C files we compile, we need
the architecture-provided header to be present before any C files are
compiled. If any C files can be compiled prior to the asm-generic header
wrappers being generated then we hit a build failure due to missing
header. Such cases do exist - one pointed out by the kbuild test robot
is the compilation of arch/ia64/kernel/nr-irqs.c, which occurs as part
of the archprepare target [1].

This leaves us with a few options:

  1) Use generic-y & fix any build failures we find by enforcing
     ordering such that the asm-generic target occurs before any C
     compilation, such that linux/compiler_types.h can always include
     the generated asm-generic wrapper which in turn includes the empty
     asm-generic header. This would rely on us finding all the
     problematic cases - I don't know for sure that the ia64 issue is
     the only one.

  2) Add an actual empty header to each architecture, so that we don't
     need the generated asm-generic wrapper. This seems messy.

  3) Give up & add #ifdef CONFIG_MIPS or similar to
     linux/compiler_types.h. This seems messy too.

  4) Include the arch header only when it's actually needed, removing
     the need for the asm-generic wrapper for all other architectures.

This patch allows us to use approach 4, by including an asm/compiler.h
header from linux/compiler_types.h after the inclusion of the
compiler-specific linux/compiler-*.h header(s). We do this
conditionally, only when CONFIG_HAVE_ARCH_COMPILER_H is selected, in
order to avoid the need for asm-generic wrappers & the associated build
ordering issue described above. The asm/compiler.h header is included
after the generic linux/compiler-*.h header(s) for consistency with the
way linux/compiler-intel.h & linux/compiler-clang.h are included after
the linux/compiler-gcc.h header that they override.
