Lockdep is a runtime locking correctness validator that detects and reports a deadlock or its possibility by checking dependencies between locks. It's useful since it does not report just an actual deadlock but also the possibility of a deadlock that has not actually happened yet. That enables problems to be fixed before they affect real systems. However, this facility is only applicable to typical locks, such as spinlocks and mutexes, which are normally released within the context in which they were acquired. However, synchronization primitives like page locks or completions, which are allowed to be released in any context, also create dependencies and can cause a deadlock. So lockdep should track these locks to do a better job. The 'crossrelease' implementation makes these primitives also be tracked.

Unfortunately, on some models of some architectures getting a fully seeded CRNG is extremely difficult, and so this can result in dmesg getting spammed for a surprisingly long time. This is really bad from a security perspective, and so architecture maintainers really need to do what they can to get the CRNG seeded sooner after the system is booted. However, users can't do anything actionble to address this, and spamming the kernel messages log will only just annoy people. For developers who want to work on improving this situation, CONFIG_WARN_UNSEEDED_RANDOM has been renamed to CONFIG_WARN_ALL_UNSEEDED_RANDOM. By default the kernel will always print the first use of unseeded randomness. This way, hopefully the security obsessed will be happy that there is _some_ indication when the kernel boots there may be a potential issue with that architecture or subarchitecture. To see all uses of unseeded randomness, developers can enable CONFIG_WARN_ALL_UNSEEDED_RANDOM. Signed-off-by: NTheodore Ts'o <tytso@mit.edu>

This adds a new stress test driver for kmod: the kernel module loader. The new stress test driver, test_kmod, is only enabled as a module right now. It should be possible to load this as built-in and load tests early (refer to the force_init_test module parameter), however since a lot of test can get a system out of memory fast we leave this disabled for now. Using a system with 1024 MiB of RAM can *easily* get your kernel OOM fast with this test driver. The test_kmod driver exposes API knobs for us to fine tune simple request_module() and get_fs_type() calls. Since these API calls only allow each one parameter a test driver for these is rather simple. Other factors that can help out test driver though are the number of calls we issue and knowing current limitations of each. This exposes configuration as much as possible through userspace to be able to build tests directly from userspace. Since it allows multiple misc devices its will eventually (once we add a knob to let us create new devices at will) also be possible to perform more tests in parallel, provided you have enough memory. We only enable tests we know work as of right now.

If you use these paritions for your rootfs you can change the default test driver used for get_fs_type() by exporting it into your environment. For example of other test defaults you can override refer to kmod.sh allow_user_defaults(). Behind the scenes this is how we fine tune at a test case prior to hitting a trigger to run it: cat /sys/devices/virtual/misc/test_kmod0/config echo -n "2" > /sys/devices/virtual/misc/test_kmod0/config_test_case echo -n "ext4" > /sys/devices/virtual/misc/test_kmod0/config_test_fs echo -n "80" > /sys/devices/virtual/misc/test_kmod0/config_num_threads cat /sys/devices/virtual/misc/test_kmod0/config echo -n "1" > /sys/devices/virtual/misc/test_kmod0/config_num_threads Finally to trigger: echo -n "1" > /sys/devices/virtual/misc/test_kmod0/trigger_config The kmod.sh script uses the above constructs to build different test cases. A bit of interpretation of the current failures follows, first two premises: a) When request_module() is used userspace figures out an optimized version of module order for us. Once it finds the modules it needs, as per depmod symbol dep map, it will finit_module() the respective modules which are needed for the original request_module() request. b) We have an optimization in place whereby if a kernel uses request_module() on a module already loaded we never bother userspace as the module already is loaded. This is all handled by kernel/kmod.c. A few things to consider to help identify root causes of issues: 0) kmod 19 has a broken heuristic for modules being assumed to be built-in to your kernel and will return 0 even though request_module() failed. Upgrade to a newer version of kmod. 1) A get_fs_type() call for "xfs" will request_module() for "fs-xfs", not for "xfs". The optimization in kernel described in b) fails to catch if we have a lot of consecutive get_fs_type() calls. The reason is the optimization in place does not look for aliases. This means two consecutive get_fs_type() calls will bump kmod_concurrent, whereas request_module() will not. This one explanation why test case 0009 fails at least once for get_fs_type(). 2) If a module fails to load --- for whatever reason (kmod_concurrent limit reached, file not yet present due to rootfs switch, out of memory) we have a period of time during which module request for the same name either with request_module() or get_fs_type() will *also* fail to load even if the file for the module is ready. This explains why *multiple* NULLs are possible on test 0009. 3) finit_module() consumes quite a bit of memory. 4) Filesystems typically also have more dependent modules than other modules, its important to note though that even though a get_fs_type() call does not incur additional kmod_concurrent bumps, since userspace loads dependencies it finds it needs via finit_module_fd(), it *will* take much more memory to load a module with a lot of dependencies. Because of 3) and 4) we will easily run into out of memory failures with certain tests. For instance test 0006 fails on qemu with 1024 MiB of RAM. It panics a box after reaping all userspace processes and still not having enough memory to reap.

Split SOFTLOCKUP_DETECTOR from LOCKUP_DETECTOR, and split HARDLOCKUP_DETECTOR_PERF from HARDLOCKUP_DETECTOR. LOCKUP_DETECTOR implies the general boot, sysctl, and programming interfaces for the lockup detectors. An architecture that wants to use a hard lockup detector must define HAVE_HARDLOCKUP_DETECTOR_PERF or HAVE_HARDLOCKUP_DETECTOR_ARCH. Alternatively an arch can define HAVE_NMI_WATCHDOG, which provides the minimum arch_touch_nmi_watchdog, and it otherwise does its own thing and does not implement the LOCKUP_DETECTOR interfaces. sparc is unusual in that it has started to implement some of the interfaces, but not fully yet. It should probably be converted to a full HAVE_HARDLOCKUP_DETECTOR_ARCH.

The existing tools/testing/selftests/sysctl/ tests include two test cases, but these use existing production kernel sysctl interfaces. We want to expand test coverage but we can't just be looking for random safe production values to poke at, that's just insane! Instead just dedicate a test driver for debugging purposes and port the existing scripts to use it. This will make it easier for further tests to be added. Subsequent patches will extend our test coverage for sysctl. The stress test driver uses a new license (GPL on Linux, copyleft-next outside of Linux). Linus was fine with this [0] and later due to Ted's and Alans's request ironed out an "or" language clause to use [1] which is already present upstream.

This enables an important dmesg notification about when drivers have used the crng without it being seeded first. Prior, these errors would occur silently, and so there hasn't been a great way of diagnosing these types of bugs for obscure setups. By adding this as a config option, we can leave it on by default, so that we learn where these issues happen, in the field, will still allowing some people to turn it off, if they really know what they're doing and do not want the log entries. However, we don't leave it _completely_ by default. An earlier version of this patch simply had `default y`. I'd really love that, but it turns out, this problem with unseeded randomness being used is really quite present and is going to take a long time to fix. Thus, as a compromise between log-messages-for-all and nobody-knows, this is `default y`, except it is also `depends on DEBUG_KERNEL`. This will ensure that the curious see the messages while others don't have to. Signed-off-by: NJason A. Donenfeld <Jason@zx2c4.com> Signed-off-by: NTheodore Ts'o <tytso@mit.edu>

The effect of these parameters is to artificially slow down grace period initialization and cleanup in order to make some types of race conditions happen more often. This commit therefore simplifies Tree RCU a bit by removing the Kconfig options and adding the corresponding kernel parameters to rcutorture's .boot files instead. However, this commit also leaves out the kernel parameters for TREE02, TREE04, and TREE07 in order to have about the same number of tests slowed as not slowed.

This introduces a infrastructure for management of linear priority areas. Priority order in an array matters, however order of items inside a priority group does not matter. As an initial implementation, L-sort algorithm is used. It is quite trivial. More advanced algorithm called P-sort will be introduced as a follow-up. The infrastructure is prepared for other algos. Alongside this, a testing module is introduced as well. Signed-off-by: NJiri Pirko <jiri@mellanox.com> Signed-off-by: NDavid S. Miller <davem@davemloft.net>

While debugging a performance issue I needed to understand why RCU sofitrqs were firing so frequently. Unfortunately, the RCU callback tracepoints are hidden behind CONFIG_RCU_TRACE which defaults to off in the upstream kernel and is likely to also be disabled in enterprise distribution configs. Enable it by default for CONFIG_TREE_RCU. However, we must keep it disabled for tiny RCU, because it would otherwise pull in a large amount of code that would make tiny RCU less than tiny. I ran some file system metadata intensive workloads (git checkout, FS-Mark) on a variety of machines with this patch and saw no detectable change in performance.

The build of frv allmodconfig was failing with the errors like: /tmp/cc0JSPc3.s: Assembler messages: /tmp/cc0JSPc3.s:1839: Error: symbol `.LSLT0' is already defined /tmp/cc0JSPc3.s:1842: Error: symbol `.LASLTP0' is already defined /tmp/cc0JSPc3.s:1969: Error: symbol `.LELTP0' is already defined /tmp/cc0JSPc3.s:1970: Error: symbol `.LELT0' is already defined Commit 866ced95 ("kbuild: Support split debug info v4") introduced splitting the debug info and keeping that in a separate file. Somehow, the frv-linux gcc did not like that and I am guessing that instead of splitting it started copying. The first report about this is at: https://lists.01.org/pipermail/kbuild-all/2015-July/010527.html. I will try and see if this can work with frv and if still fails I will open a bug report with gcc. But meanwhile this is the easiest option to solve build failure of frv.

SipHash is a 64-bit keyed hash function that is actually a cryptographically secure PRF, like HMAC. Except SipHash is super fast, and is meant to be used as a hashtable keyed lookup function, or as a general PRF for short input use cases, such as sequence numbers or RNG chaining. For the first usage: There are a variety of attacks known as "hashtable poisoning" in which an attacker forms some data such that the hash of that data will be the same, and then preceeds to fill up all entries of a hashbucket. This is a realistic and well-known denial-of-service vector. Currently hashtables use jhash, which is fast but not secure, and some kind of rotating key scheme (or none at all, which isn't good). SipHash is meant as a replacement for jhash in these cases. There are a modicum of places in the kernel that are vulnerable to hashtable poisoning attacks, either via userspace vectors or network vectors, and there's not a reliable mechanism inside the kernel at the moment to fix it. The first step toward fixing these issues is actually getting a secure primitive into the kernel for developers to use. Then we can, bit by bit, port things over to it as deemed appropriate. While SipHash is extremely fast for a cryptographically secure function, it is likely a bit slower than the insecure jhash, and so replacements will be evaluated on a case-by-case basis based on whether or not the difference in speed is negligible and whether or not the current jhash usage poses a real security risk. For the second usage: A few places in the kernel are using MD5 or SHA1 for creating secure sequence numbers, syn cookies, port numbers, or fast random numbers. SipHash is a faster and more fitting, and more secure replacement for MD5 in those situations. Replacing MD5 and SHA1 with SipHash for these uses is obvious and straight-forward, and so is submitted along with this patch series. There shouldn't be much of a debate over its efficacy. Dozens of languages are already using this internally for their hash tables and PRFs. Some of the BSDs already use this in their kernels. SipHash is a widely known high-speed solution to a widely known set of problems, and it's time we catch-up. Signed-off-by: NJason A.

The states can be executed step by step and error rollback is the same as cpu down, so any state transition can be tested w/o requiring the notifier error injection.

Add a configuration option to set the default console loglevel. This is, as before, still possible to override at runtime through bootargs (loglevel=<x>), sysrq and /proc/printk. There are cases where adding additional arguments on the commandline is impractical, and changing the default for the kernel when being built makes more sense. Provide such a method here, for those who choose to do so. Also, while touching this code, clarify the difference between MESSAGE_LOGLEVEL_DEFAULT and CONSOLE_LOGLEVEL_DEFAULT.

This new config parameter limits the space used for "Lock debugging: prove locking correctness" by about 4MB. The current sparc systems have the limitation of 32MB size for kernel size including .text, .data and .bss sections. With PROVE_LOCKING feature, the kernel size could grow beyond this limit and causing system boot-up issues. With this option, kernel limits the size of the entries of lock_chains, stack_trace etc., so that kernel fits in required size limit. This is not visible to user and only used for sparc.

The CONFIG_DEBUG_LIST option is normally meant for kernel developers rather than production machines and is guarded by CONFIG_DEBUG_KERNEL. In contrast, the newly added CONFIG_BUG_ON_DATA_CORRUPTION is meant for security hardening and may be used on systems that intentionally do not enable CONFIG_DEBUG_KERNEL. In this configuration, we get a warning from Kconfig about the mismatched dependencies: warning: (BUG_ON_DATA_CORRUPTION) selects DEBUG_LIST which has unmet direct dependencies (DEBUG_KERNEL) This annotates the DEBUG_LIST option to be selectable by BUG_ON_DATA_CORRUPTION when DEBUG_KERNEL is disabled.
