      locking/mutex: Fix mutex handoff · e274795e
      Peter Zijlstra 提交于
      While reviewing the ww_mutex patches, I noticed that it was still
      possible to (incorrectly) succeed for (incorrect) code like:
      
      	mutex_lock(&a);
      	mutex_lock(&a);
      
      This was possible if the second mutex_lock() would block (as expected)
      but then receive a spurious wakeup. At that point it would find itself
      at the front of the queue, request a handoff and instantly claim
      ownership and continue, since owner would point to itself.
      
      Avoid this scenario and simplify the code by introducing a third low
      bit to signal handoff pickup. So once we request handoff, unlock
      clears the handoff bit and sets the pickup bit along with the new
      owner.
      
      This also removes the need for the .handoff argument to
      __mutex_trylock(), since that becomes superfluous with PICKUP.
      
      In order to guarantee enough low bits, ensure task_struct alignment is
      at least L1_CACHE_BYTES (which seems a good ideal regardless).

      sched/idle: Add support for tasks that inject idle · c1de45ca
      Peter Zijlstra 提交于
      Idle injection drivers such as Intel powerclamp and ACPI PAD drivers use
      realtime tasks to take control of CPU then inject idle. There are two
      issues with this approach:
      
       1. Low efficiency: injected idle task is treated as busy so sched ticks
          do not stop during injected idle period, the result of these
          unwanted wakeups can be ~20% loss in power savings.
      
       2. Idle accounting: injected idle time is presented to user as busy.
      
      This patch addresses the issues by introducing a new PF_IDLE flag which
      allows any given task to be treated as idle task while the flag is set.
      Therefore, idle injection tasks can run through the normal flow of NOHZ
      idle enter/exit to get the correct accounting as well as tick stop when
      possible.
      
      The implication is that idle task is then no longer limited to PID == 0.

      mm: Add a user_ns owner to mm_struct and fix ptrace permission checks · bfedb589
      Eric W. Biederman 提交于
      During exec dumpable is cleared if the file that is being executed is
      not readable by the user executing the file.  A bug in
      ptrace_may_access allows reading the file if the executable happens to
      enter into a subordinate user namespace (aka clone(CLONE_NEWUSER),
      unshare(CLONE_NEWUSER), or setns(fd, CLONE_NEWUSER).
      
      This problem is fixed with only necessary userspace breakage by adding
      a user namespace owner to mm_struct, captured at the time of exec, so
      it is clear in which user namespace CAP_SYS_PTRACE must be present in
      to be able to safely give read permission to the executable.
      
      The function ptrace_may_access is modified to verify that the ptracer
      has CAP_SYS_ADMIN in task->mm->user_ns instead of task->cred->user_ns.
      This ensures that if the task changes it's cred into a subordinate
      user namespace it does not become ptraceable.
      
      The function ptrace_attach is modified to only set PT_PTRACE_CAP when
      CAP_SYS_PTRACE is held over task->mm->user_ns.  The intent of
      PT_PTRACE_CAP is to be a flag to note that whatever permission changes
      the task might go through the tracer has sufficient permissions for
      it not to be an issue.  task->cred->user_ns is always the same
      as or descendent of mm->user_ns.  Which guarantees that having
      CAP_SYS_PTRACE over mm->user_ns is the worst case for the tasks
      credentials.
      
      To prevent regressions mm->dumpable and mm->user_ns are not considered
      when a task has no mm.  As simply failing ptrace_may_attach causes
      regressions in privileged applications attempting to read things
      such as /proc/<pid>/stat

      latent_entropy: Mark functions with __latent_entropy · 0766f788
      Emese Revfy 提交于
      The __latent_entropy gcc attribute can be used only on functions and
      variables.  If it is on a function then the plugin will instrument it for
      gathering control-flow entropy. If the attribute is on a variable then
      the plugin will initialize it with random contents.  The variable must
      be an integer, an integer array type or a structure with integer fields.
      
      These specific functions have been selected because they are init
      functions (to help gather boot-time entropy), are called at unpredictable
      times, or they have variable loops, each of which provide some level of
      latent entropy.

      gcc-plugins: Add latent_entropy plugin · 38addce8
      Emese Revfy 提交于
      This adds a new gcc plugin named "latent_entropy". It is designed to
      extract as much possible uncertainty from a running system at boot time as
      possible, hoping to capitalize on any possible variation in CPU operation
      (due to runtime data differences, hardware differences, SMP ordering,
      thermal timing variation, cache behavior, etc).
      
      At the very least, this plugin is a much more comprehensive example for
      how to manipulate kernel code using the gcc plugin internals.
      
      The need for very-early boot entropy tends to be very architecture or
      system design specific, so this plugin is more suited for those sorts
      of special cases. The existing kernel RNG already attempts to extract
      entropy from reliable runtime variation, but this plugin takes the idea to
      a logical extreme by permuting a global variable based on any variation
      in code execution (e.g. a different value (and permutation function)
      is used to permute the global based on loop count, case statement,
      if/then/else branching, etc).
      
      To do this, the plugin starts by inserting a local variable in every
      marked function. The plugin then adds logic so that the value of this
      variable is modified by randomly chosen operations (add, xor and rol) and
      random values (gcc generates separate static values for each location at
      compile time and also injects the stack pointer at runtime). The resulting
      value depends on the control flow path (e.g., loops and branches taken).
      
      Before the function returns, the plugin mixes this local variable into
      the latent_entropy global variable. The value of this global variable
      is added to the kernel entropy pool in do_one_initcall() and _do_fork(),
      though it does not credit any bytes of entropy to the pool; the contents
      of the global are just used to mix the pool.
      
      Additionally, the plugin can pre-initialize arrays with build-time
      random contents, so that two different kernel builds running on identical
      hardware will not have the same starting values.

      thp: reduce usage of huge zero page's atomic counter · 6fcb52a5
      Aaron Lu 提交于
      The global zero page is used to satisfy an anonymous read fault.  If
      THP(Transparent HugePage) is enabled then the global huge zero page is
      used.  The global huge zero page uses an atomic counter for reference
      counting and is allocated/freed dynamically according to its counter
      value.
      
      CPU time spent on that counter will greatly increase if there are a lot
      of processes doing anonymous read faults.  This patch proposes a way to
      reduce the access to the global counter so that the CPU load can be
      reduced accordingly.
      
      To do this, a new flag of the mm_struct is introduced:
      MMF_USED_HUGE_ZERO_PAGE.  With this flag, the process only need to touch
      the global counter in two cases:
      
       1 The first time it uses the global huge zero page;
       2 The time when mm_user of its mm_struct reaches zero.
      
      Note that right now, the huge zero page is eligible to be freed as soon
      as its last use goes away.  With this patch, the page will not be
      eligible to be freed until the exit of the last process from which it
      was ever used.
      
      And with the use of mm_user, the kthread is not eligible to use huge
      zero page either.  Since no kthread is using huge zero page today, there
      is no difference after applying this patch.  But if that is not desired,
      I can change it to when mm_count reaches zero.
      
      Case used for test on Haswell EP:
      
        usemem -n 72 --readonly -j 0x200000 100G
      
      Which spawns 72 processes and each will mmap 100G anonymous space and
      then do read only access to that space sequentially with a step of 2MB.

      mm, oom: get rid of signal_struct::oom_victims · 862e3073
      Michal Hocko 提交于
      After "oom: keep mm of the killed task available" we can safely detect
      an oom victim by checking task->signal->oom_mm so we do not need the
      signal_struct counter anymore so let's get rid of it.
      
      This alone wouldn't be sufficient for nommu archs because
      exit_oom_victim doesn't hide the process from the oom killer anymore.
      We can, however, mark the mm with a MMF flag in __mmput.  We can reuse
      MMF_OOM_REAPED and rename it to a more generic MMF_OOM_SKIP.

      by mm_users.

      oom: keep mm of the killed task available · 26db62f1
      Michal Hocko 提交于
      oom_reap_task has to call exit_oom_victim in order to make sure that the
      oom vicim will not block the oom killer for ever.  This is, however,
      opening new problems (e.g oom_killer_disable exclusion - see commit
      74070542 ("oom, suspend: fix oom_reaper vs.  oom_killer_disable
      race")).  exit_oom_victim should be only called from the victim's
      context ideally.
      
      One way to achieve this would be to rely on per mm_struct flags.  We
      already have MMF_OOM_REAPED to hide a task from the oom killer since
      "mm, oom: hide mm which is shared with kthread or global init". The
      problem is that the exit path:
      
        do_exit
          exit_mm
            tsk->mm = NULL;
            mmput
              __mmput
            exit_oom_victim
      
      doesn't guarantee that exit_oom_victim will get called in a bounded
      amount of time.  At least exit_aio depends on IO which might get blocked
      due to lack of memory and who knows what else is lurking there.
      
      This patch takes a different approach.  We remember tsk->mm into the
      signal_struct and bind it to the signal struct life time for all oom
      victims.  __oom_reap_task_mm as well as oom_scan_process_thread do not
      have to rely on find_lock_task_mm anymore and they will have a reliable
      reference to the mm struct.  As a result all the oom specific
      communication inside the OOM killer can be done via tsk->signal->oom_mm.
      
      Increasing the signal_struct for something as unlikely as the oom killer
      is far from ideal but this approach will make the code much more
      reasonable and long term we even might want to move task->mm into the
      signal_struct anyway.  In the next step we might want to make the oom
      killer exclusion and access to memory reserves completely independent
      which would be also nice.

      kernel/fork: fix CLONE_CHILD_CLEARTID regression in nscd · 735f2770
      Michal Hocko 提交于
      Commit fec1d011 ("[PATCH] Disable CLONE_CHILD_CLEARTID for abnormal
      exit") has caused a subtle regression in nscd which uses
      CLONE_CHILD_CLEARTID to clear the nscd_certainly_running flag in the
      shared databases, so that the clients are notified when nscd is
      restarted.  Now, when nscd uses a non-persistent database, clients that
      have it mapped keep thinking the database is being updated by nscd, when
      in fact nscd has created a new (anonymous) one (for non-persistent
      databases it uses an unlinked file as backend).
      
      The original proposal for the CLONE_CHILD_CLEARTID change claimed
      (https://lkml.org/lkml/2006/10/25/233):
      
      : The NPTL library uses the CLONE_CHILD_CLEARTID flag on clone() syscalls
      : on behalf of pthread_create() library calls.  This feature is used to
      : request that the kernel clear the thread-id in user space (at an address
      : provided in the syscall) when the thread disassociates itself from the
      : address space, which is done in mm_release().
      :
      : Unfortunately, when a multi-threaded process incurs a core dump (such as
      : from a SIGSEGV), the core-dumping thread sends SIGKILL signals to all of
      : the other threads, which then proceed to clear their user-space tids
      : before synchronizing in exit_mm() with the start of core dumping.  This
      : misrepresents the state of process's address space at the time of the
      : SIGSEGV and makes it more difficult for someone to debug NPTL and glibc
      : problems (misleading him/her to conclude that the threads had gone away
      : before the fault).
      :
      : The fix below is to simply avoid the CLONE_CHILD_CLEARTID action if a
      : core dump has been initiated.
      
      The resulting patch from Roland (https://lkml.org/lkml/2006/10/26/269)
      seems to have a larger scope than the original patch asked for.  It
      seems that limitting the scope of the check to core dumping should work
      for SIGSEGV issue describe above.

      cgroup: reduce read locked section of cgroup_threadgroup_rwsem during fork · 568ac888

      mm: charge/uncharge kmemcg from generic page allocator paths · 4949148a
      Vladimir Davydov 提交于
      Currently, to charge a non-slab allocation to kmemcg one has to use
      alloc_kmem_pages helper with __GFP_ACCOUNT flag.  A page allocated with
      this helper should finally be freed using free_kmem_pages, otherwise it
      won't be uncharged.
      
      This API suits its current users fine, but it turns out to be impossible
      to use along with page reference counting, i.e.  when an allocation is
      supposed to be freed with put_page, as it is the case with pipe or unix
      socket buffers.
      
      To overcome this limitation, this patch moves charging/uncharging to
      generic page allocator paths, i.e.  to __alloc_pages_nodemask and
      free_pages_prepare, and zaps alloc/free_kmem_pages helpers.  This way,
      one can use any of the available page allocation functions to get the
      allocated page charged to kmemcg - it's enough to pass __GFP_ACCOUNT,
      just like in case of kmalloc and friends.  A charged page will be
      automatically uncharged on free.
      
      To make it possible, we need to mark pages charged to kmemcg somehow.
      To avoid introducing a new page flag, we make use of page->_mapcount for
      marking such pages.  Since pages charged to kmemcg are not supposed to
      be mapped to userspace, it should work just fine.  There are other
      (ab)users of page->_mapcount - buddy and balloon pages - but we don't
      conflict with them.
      
      In case kmemcg is compiled out or not used at runtime, this patch
      introduces no overhead to generic page allocator paths.  If kmemcg is
      used, it will be plus one gfp flags check on alloc and plus one
      page->_mapcount check on free, which shouldn't hurt performance, because
      the data accessed are hot.

      Clarify naming of thread info/stack allocators · b235beea
      Linus Torvalds 提交于
      We've had the thread info allocated together with the thread stack for
      most architectures for a long time (since the thread_info was split off
      from the task struct), but that is about to change.
      
      But the patches that move the thread info to be off-stack (and a part of
      the task struct instead) made it clear how confused the allocator and
      freeing functions are.
      
      Because the common case was that we share an allocation with the thread
      stack and the thread_info, the two pointers were identical.  That
      identity then meant that we would have things like
      
      	ti = alloc_thread_info_node(tsk, node);
      	...
      	tsk->stack = ti;
      
      which certainly _worked_ (since stack and thread_info have the same
      value), but is rather confusing: why are we assigning a thread_info to
      the stack? And if we move the thread_info away, the "confusing" code
      just gets to be entirely bogus.
      
      So remove all this confusion, and make it clear that we are doing the
      stack allocation by renaming and clarifying the function names to be
      about the stack.  The fact that the thread_info then shares the
      allocation is an implementation detail, and not really about the
      allocation itself.
      
      This is a pure renaming and type fix: we pass in the same pointer, it's
      just that we clarify what the pointer means.
      
      The ia64 code that actually only has one single allocation (for all of
      task_struct, thread_info and kernel thread stack) now looks a bit odd,
      but since "tsk->stack" is actually not even used there, that oddity
      doesn't matter.  It would be a separate thing to clean that up, I
      intentionally left the ia64 changes as a pure brute-force renaming and
      type change.

      mm, oom_reaper: do not mmput synchronously from the oom reaper context · ec8d7c14
      Michal Hocko 提交于
      Tetsuo has properly noted that mmput slow path might get blocked waiting
      for another party (e.g.  exit_aio waits for an IO).  If that happens the
      oom_reaper would be put out of the way and will not be able to process
      next oom victim.  We should strive for making this context as reliable
      and independent on other subsystems as much as possible.
      
      Introduce mmput_async which will perform the slow path from an async
      (WQ) context.  This will delay the operation but that shouldn't be a
      problem because the oom_reaper has reclaimed the victim's address space
      for most cases as much as possible and the remaining context shouldn't
      bind too much memory anymore.  The only exception is when mmap_sem
      trylock has failed which shouldn't happen too often.
      
      The issue is only theoretical but not impossible.

      SS_ONSTACK when forming ss_flags.
      
      When this flag is set, sigaltstack will be disabled when entering
      the signal handler; more precisely, after saving sas to uc_stack.
      When leaving the signal handler, the sigaltstack is restored by
      uc_stack.
      
      When this flag is used, it is safe to switch from sighandler with
      swapcontext(). Without this flag, the subsequent signal will corrupt
      the state of the switched-away sighandler.
      
      To detect the support of this functionality, one can do:
      
        err = sigaltstack(SS_DISABLE | SS_AUTODISARM);
        if (err && errno == EINVAL)
      	unsupported();

      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.
