Impact: fix x86_32 stack protector Brian Gerst found out that %gs was being initialized to stack_canary instead of stack_canary - 20, which basically gave the same canary value for all threads. Fixing this also exposed the following bugs. * cpu_idle() didn't call boot_init_stack_canary() * stack canary switching in switch_to() was being done too late making the initial run of a new thread use the old stack canary value. Fix all of them and while at it update comment in cpu_idle() about calling boot_init_stack_canary().

Impact: introduce new ptrace facility Add arch_ptrace_untrace() function that is called when the tracer detaches (either voluntarily or when the tracing task dies); ptrace_disable() is only called on a voluntary detach. Add ptrace_fork() and arch_ptrace_fork(). They are called when a traced task is forked. Clear DS and BTS related fields on fork. Release DS resources and reclaim memory in ptrace_untrace(). This releases resources already when the tracing task dies. We used to do that when the traced task dies.

Impact: trace more functions When the function graph tracer is configured, three more files are not traced to prevent only four functions to be traced. And this impacts the normal function tracer too. arch/x86/kernel/process_64/32.c: I had crashes when I let this file traced. After some debugging, I saw that the "current" task point was changed inside__swtich_to(), ie: "write_pda(pcurrent, next_p);" inside process_64.c Since the tracer store the original return address of the function inside current, we had crashes. Only __switch_to() has to be excluded from tracing. kernel/module.c and kernel/extable.c: Because of a function used internally by the function graph tracer: __kernel_text_address() To let the other functions inside these files to be traced, this patch introduces the __notrace_funcgraph function prefix which is __notrace if function graph tracer is configured and nothing if not.

Impact: hang which happens across CPU offline/online on AMD C1E systems. When a CPU goes offline then the corresponding bit in the broadcast mask is cleared. For AMD C1E enabled CPUs we do not reenable the broadcast when the CPU comes online again as we do not clear the corresponding bit in the c1e_mask, which keeps track which CPUs have been switched to broadcast already. So on those !$@#& machines we never switch back to broadcasting after a CPU offline/online cycle. Clear the bit when the CPU plays dead. Signed-off-by: NThomas Gleixner <tglx@linutronix.de>

When a CPU core is shut down, all of its caches need to be flushed to prevent stale data from causing errors if the core is resumed. Current Linux suspend code performs an assignment after the flush, which can add dirty data back to the cache. On some AMD platforms, additional speculative reads have caused crashes on resume because of this dirty data. Relocate the cache flush to be the very last thing done before halting. Tie into an assembly line so the compile will not reorder it. Add some documentation explaining what is going on and why we're doing this.

Jack Ren and Eric Miao tracked down the following long standing problem in the NOHZ code: scheduler switch to idle task enable interrupts Window starts here ----> interrupt happens (does not set NEED_RESCHED) irq_exit() stops the tick ----> interrupt happens (does set NEED_RESCHED) return from schedule() cpu_idle(): preempt_disable(); Window ends here The interrupts can happen at any point inside the race window. The first interrupt stops the tick, the second one causes the scheduler to rerun and switch away from idle again and we end up with the tick disabled. The fact that it needs two interrupts where the first one does not set NEED_RESCHED and the second one does made the bug obscure and extremly hard to reproduce and analyse. Kudos to Jack and Eric. Solution: Limit the NOHZ functionality to the idle loop to make sure that we can not run into such a situation ever again. cpu_idle() { preempt_disable(); while(1) { tick_nohz_stop_sched_tick(1); <- tell NOHZ code that we are in the idle loop while (!need_resched()) halt(); tick_nohz_restart_sched_tick(); <- disables NOHZ mode preempt_enable_no_resched(); schedule(); preempt_disable(); } } In hindsight we should have done this forever, but ... /me grabs a large brown paperbag.

Somehow (as described below) TS_USEDFPU is set but the fpu is not allocated or freed. Another possible FPU pre-emption issue with the sleazy FPU optimization which was benign before but not so anymore, with the dynamic FPU allocation patch. New task is getting exec'd and it is prempted at the below point. flush_thread() { ... /* * Forget coprocessor state.. */ clear_fpu(tsk); <----- Preemption point clear_used_math(); ... } Now when it context switches in again, as the used_math() is still set and fpu_counter can be > 5, we will do a math_state_restore() which sets the task's TS_USEDFPU. After it continues from the above preemption point it does clear_used_math() and much later free_thread_xstate(). Now, at the next context switch, it is quite possible that xstate is null, used_math() is not set and TS_USEDFPU is still set. This will trigger unlazy_fpu() causing kernel oops. Fix this by clearing tsk's fpu_counter before clearing task's fpu.

Jürgen Mell reported an FPU state corruption bug under CONFIG_PREEMPT, and bisected it to commit v2.6.19-1363-gacc20761, "i386: add sleazy FPU optimization". Add tsk_used_math() checks to prevent calling math_state_restore() which can sleep in the case of !tsk_used_math(). This prevents making a blocking call in __switch_to(). Apparently "fpu_counter > 5" check is not enough, as in some signal handling and fork/exec scenarios, fpu_counter > 5 and !tsk_used_math() is possible. It's a side effect though. This is the failing scenario: process 'A' in save_i387_ia32() just after clear_used_math() Got an interrupt and pre-empted out. At the next context switch to process 'A' again, kernel tries to restore the math state proactively and sees a fpu_counter > 0 and !tsk_used_math() This results in init_fpu() during the __switch_to()'s math_state_restore() And resulting in fpu corruption which will be saved/restored (save_i387_fxsave and restore_i387_fxsave) during the remaining part of the signal handling after the context switch.

the boot CPU's idle task has a zero stackprotector canary value. this is a special task that is never forked, so the fork code does not randomize its canary. Do it when we hit cpu_idle(). Academic sidenote: this means that the early init code runs with a zero canary and hence the canary becomes predictable for this short, boot-only amount of time. Although attack vectors against early init code are very rare, it might make sense to move this initialization to an earlier point.

The idle threads for non-boot CPUs are a bit special in how they are created; the result is that these don't have the stack canary set up properly in their PDA.

fix a bug noticed and fixed by pageexec@freemail.hu. if built with -fstack-protector-all then we'll have canary checks built into the __switch_to() function. That does not work well with the canary-switching code there: while we already use the %rsp of the new task, we still call __switch_to() whith the previous task's canary value in the PDA, hence the __switch_to() ssp prologue instructions will store the previous canary. Then we update the PDA and upon return from __switch_to() the canary check triggers and we panic. so update the canary after we have called __switch_to(), where we are at the same stackframe level as the last stackframe of the next (and now freshly current) task. Note: this means that we call __switch_to() [and its sub-functions] still with the old canary, but that is not a problem, both the previous and the next task has a high-quality canary. The only (mostly academic) disadvantage is that the canary of one task may leak onto the stack of another task, increasing the risk of information leaks, were an attacker able to read the stack of specific tasks (but not that of others). To solve this we'll have to reorganize the way we switch tasks, and move the PDA setting into the switch_to() assembly code. That will happen in another patch.

"irqsoff" is added to /debugfs/tracing/available_tracers Note: tracing_max_latency also holds the max latency for irqsoff (in usecs). (default to large number so one must start latency tracing) tracing_thresh threshold (in usecs) to always print out if irqs off is detected to be longer than stated here.

Polish the ds.h interface and add support for PEBS. Ds.c is meant to be the resource allocator for per-thread and per-cpu BTS and PEBS recording. It is used by ptrace/utrace to provide execution tracing of debugged tasks. It will be used by profilers (e.g. perfmon2). It may be used by kernel debuggers to provide a kernel execution trace. Changes in detail: - guard DS and ptrace by CONFIG macros - separate DS and BTS more clearly - simplify field accesses - add functions to manage PEBS buffers - add simple protection/allocation mechanism - added support for Atom Opens: - buffer overflow handling Currently, only circular buffers are supported. This is all we need for debugging. Profilers would want an overflow notification.

OK, so 25-mm1 gave a lockdep error which made me look into this. The first thing that I noticed was the horrible mess; the second thing I saw was hacks like: 71e93d15 The problem is that arch idle routines are somewhat inconsitent with their IRQ state handling and instead of fixing _that_, we go paper over the problem. So the thing I've tried to do is set a standard for idle routines and fix them all up to adhere to that. So the rules are: idle routines are entered with IRQs disabled idle routines will exit with IRQs enabled Nearly all already did this in one form or another. Merge the 32 and 64 bit bits so they no longer have different bugs. As for the actual lockdep warning; __sti_mwait() did a plainly un-annotated irq-enable.
