      smp: Fix SMP function call empty cpu mask race · f44310b9
      Wang YanQing 提交于
      I get the following warning every day with v3.7, once or
      twice a day:
      
        [ 2235.186027] WARNING: at /mnt/sda7/kernel/linux/arch/x86/kernel/apic/ipi.c:109 default_send_IPI_mask_logical+0x2f/0xb8()
      
      As explained by Linus as well:
      
       |
       | Once we've done the "list_add_rcu()" to add it to the
       | queue, we can have (another) IPI to the target CPU that can
       | now see it and clear the mask.
       |
       | So by the time we get to actually send the IPI, the mask might
       | have been cleared by another IPI.
       |
      
      This patch also fixes a system hang problem, if the data->cpumask
      gets cleared after passing this point:
      
              if (WARN_ONCE(!mask, "empty IPI mask"))
                      return;
      
      then the problem in commit 83d349f3 ("x86: don't send an IPI to
      the empty set of CPU's") will happen again.

      async: fix __lowest_in_progress() · f56c3196
      Tejun Heo 提交于
      Commit 083b804c ("async: use workqueue for worker pool") made it
      possible that async jobs are moved from pending to running out-of-order.
      While pending async jobs will be queued and dispatched for execution in
      the same order, nothing guarantees they'll enter "1) move self to the
      running queue" of async_run_entry_fn() in the same order.
      
      Before the conversion, async implemented its own worker pool.  An async
      worker, upon being woken up, fetches the first item from the pending
      list, which kept the executing lists sorted.  The conversion to
      workqueue was done by adding work_struct to each async_entry and async
      just schedules the work item.  The queueing and dispatching of such work
      items are still in order but now each worker thread is associated with a
      specific async_entry and moves that specific async_entry to the
      executing list.  So, depending on which worker reaches that point
      earlier, which is non-deterministic, we may end up moving an async_entry
      with larger cookie before one with smaller one.
      
      This broke __lowest_in_progress().  running->domain may not be properly
      sorted and is not guaranteed to contain lower cookies than pending list
      when not empty.  Fix it by ensuring sort-inserting to the running list
      and always looking at both pending and running when trying to determine
      the lowest cookie.
      
      Over time, the async synchronization implementation became quite messy.
      We better restructure it such that each async_entry is linked to two
      lists - one global and one per domain - and not move it when execution
      starts.  There's no reason to distinguish pending and running.  They
      behave the same for synchronization purposes.

      ptrace: ensure arch_ptrace/ptrace_request can never race with SIGKILL · 9899d11f
      Oleg Nesterov 提交于
      putreg() assumes that the tracee is not running and pt_regs_access() can
      safely play with its stack.  However a killed tracee can return from
      ptrace_stop() to the low-level asm code and do RESTORE_REST, this means
      that debugger can actually read/modify the kernel stack until the tracee
      does SAVE_REST again.
      
      set_task_blockstep() can race with SIGKILL too and in some sense this
      race is even worse, the very fact the tracee can be woken up breaks the
      logic.
      
      As Linus suggested we can clear TASK_WAKEKILL around the arch_ptrace()
      call, this ensures that nobody can ever wakeup the tracee while the
      debugger looks at it.  Not only this fixes the mentioned problems, we
      can do some cleanups/simplifications in arch_ptrace() paths.
      
      Probably ptrace_unfreeze_traced() needs more callers, for example it
      makes sense to make the tracee killable for oom-killer before
      access_process_vm().
      
      While at it, add the comment into may_ptrace_stop() to explain why
      ptrace_stop() still can't rely on SIGKILL and signal_pending_state().

      ptrace: introduce signal_wake_up_state() and ptrace_signal_wake_up() · 910ffdb1
      Oleg Nesterov 提交于
      Cleanup and preparation for the next change.
      
      signal_wake_up(resume => true) is overused. None of ptrace/jctl callers
      actually want to wakeup a TASK_WAKEKILL task, but they can't specify the
      necessary mask.
      
      Turn signal_wake_up() into signal_wake_up_state(state), reintroduce
      signal_wake_up() as a trivial helper, and add ptrace_signal_wake_up()
      which adds __TASK_TRACED.
      
      This way ptrace_signal_wake_up() can work "inside" ptrace_request()
      even if the tracee doesn't have the TASK_WAKEKILL bit set.

        actual: cc:bb:d2:4b:e1
      
      A kprobe was added to the init_once() function in the fat module on load.
      But this happened before ftrace could have touched the code. As ftrace
      didn't run yet, the kprobe system had no idea it was a ftrace point and
      simply added a breakpoint to the code (0xcc in the cc:bb:d2:4b:e1).
      
      Then when ftrace went to modify the location from a call to mcount/fentry
      into a nop, it didn't see a call op, but instead it saw the breakpoint op
      and not knowing what to do with it, ftrace shut itself down.
      
      The solution is to simply give the ftrace module notifier the max priority.
      This should have been done regardless, as the core code ftrace modification
      also happens very early on in boot up. This makes the module modification
      closer to core modification.

      module, async: async_synchronize_full() on module init iff async is used · 774a1221
      Tejun Heo 提交于
      If the default iosched is built as module, the kernel may deadlock
      while trying to load the iosched module on device probe if the probing
      was running off async.  This is because async_synchronize_full() at
      the end of module init ends up waiting for the async job which
      initiated the module loading.
      
       async A				modprobe
      
       1. finds a device
       2. registers the block device
       3. request_module(default iosched)
      					4. modprobe in userland
      					5. load and init module
      					6. async_synchronize_full()
      
      Async A waits for modprobe to finish in request_module() and modprobe
      waits for async A to finish in async_synchronize_full().
      
      Because there's no easy to track dependency once control goes out to
      userland, implementing properly nested flushing is difficult.  For
      now, make module init perform async_synchronize_full() iff module init
      has queued async jobs as suggested by Linus.
      
      This avoids the described deadlock because iosched module doesn't use
      async and thus wouldn't invoke async_synchronize_full().  This is
      hacky and incomplete.  It will deadlock if async module loading nests;
      however, this works around the known problem case and seems to be the
      best of bad options.
      
      For more details, please refer to the following thread.

      audit: create explicit AUDIT_SECCOMP event type · 7b9205bd

      The seccomp path was using AUDIT_ANOM_ABEND from when seccomp mode 1
      could only kill a process.  While we still want to make sure an audit
      record is forced on a kill, this should use a separate record type since
      seccomp mode 2 introduces other behaviors.
      
      In the case of "handled" behaviors (process wasn't killed), only emit a
      record if the process is under inspection.  This change also fixes
      userspace examination of seccomp audit events, since it was considered
      malformed due to missing fields of the AUDIT_ANOM_ABEND event type.

      tracing: Fix regression with irqsoff tracer and tracing_on file · 2df8f8a6
      Steven Rostedt 提交于
      Commit 02404baf "tracing: Remove deprecated tracing_enabled file"
      removed the tracing_enabled file as it never worked properly and
      the tracing_on file should be used instead. But the tracing_on file
      didn't call into the tracers start/stop routines like the
      tracing_enabled file did. This caused trace-cmd to break when it
      enabled the irqsoff tracer.
      
      If you just did "echo irqsoff > current_tracer" then it would work
      properly. But the tool trace-cmd disables tracing first by writing
      "0" into the tracing_on file. Then it writes "irqsoff" into
      current_tracer and then writes "1" into tracing_on. Unfortunately,
      the above commit changed the irqsoff tracer to check the tracing_on
      status instead of the tracing_enabled status. If it's disabled then
      it does not start the tracer internals.
      
      The problem is that writing "1" into tracing_on does not call the
      tracers "start" routine like writing "1" into tracing_enabled did.
      This makes the irqsoff tracer not start when using the trace-cmd
      tool, and is a regression for userspace.
      
      Simple fix is to have the tracing_on file call the tracers start()
      method when being enabled (and the stop() method when disabled).

      Steven Rostedt 提交于
      The latest change to allow trace options to be set on the command
      line also broke the trace_options file.
      
      The zeroing of the last byte of the option name that is echoed into
      the trace_option file was removed with the consolidation of some
      of the code. The compare between the option and what was written to
      the trace_options file fails because the string holding the data
      written doesn't terminate with a null character.
      
      A zero needs to be added to the end of the string copied from
      user space.

      rcu: Make rcu_nocb_poll an early_param instead of module_param · 1b0048a4
      Paul Gortmaker 提交于
      The as-documented rcu_nocb_poll will fail to enable this feature
      for two reasons.  (1) there is an extra "s" in the documented
      name which is not in the code, and (2) since it uses module_param,
      it really is expecting a prefix, akin to "rcutree.fanout_leaf"
      and the prefix isn't documented.
      
      However, there are several reasons why we might not want to
      simply fix the typo and add the prefix:
      
      1) we'd end up with rcutree.rcu_nocb_poll, and rather probably make
      a change to rcutree.nocb_poll
      
      2) if we did #1, then the prefix wouldn't be consistent with the
      rcu_nocbs=<cpumap> parameter (i.e. one with, one without prefix)
      
      3) the use of module_param in a header file is less than desired,
      since it isn't immediately obvious that it will get processed
      via rcutree.c and get the prefix from that (although use of
      module_param_named() could clarify that.)
      
      4) the implied export of /sys/module/rcutree/parameters/rcu_nocb_poll
      data to userspace via module_param() doesn't really buy us anything,
      as it is read-only and we can tell if it is enabled already without
      it, since there is a printk at early boot telling us so.
      
      In light of all that, just change it from a module_param() to an
      early_setup() call, and worry about adding it to /sys later on if
      we decide to allow a dynamic setting of it.
      
      Also change the variable to be tagged as read_mostly, since it
      will only ever be fiddled with at most, once at boot.

      rcu: Prevent soft-lockup complaints about no-CBs CPUs · 353af9c9
      Paul Gortmaker 提交于
      The wait_event() at the head of the rcu_nocb_kthread() can result in
      soft-lockup complaints if the CPU in question does not register RCU
      callbacks for an extended period.  This commit therefore changes
      the wait_event() to a wait_event_interruptible().

      printk: fix incorrect length from print_time() when seconds > 99999 · 35dac27c
      Roland Dreier 提交于
      print_prefix() passes a NULL buf to print_time() to get the length of
      the time prefix; when printk times are enabled, the current code just
      returns the constant 15, which matches the format "[%5lu.%06lu] " used
      to print the time value.  However, this is obviously incorrect when the
      whole seconds part of the time gets beyond 5 digits (100000 seconds is a
      bit more than a day of uptime).
      
      The simple fix is to use snprintf(NULL, 0, ...) to calculate the actual
      length of the time prefix.  This could be micro-optimized but it seems
      better to have simpler, more readable code here.
      
      The bug leads to the syslog system call miscomputing which messages fit
      into the userspace buffer.  If there are enough messages to fill
      log_buf_len and some have a timestamp >= 100000, dmesg may fail with:
      
          # dmesg
          klogctl: Bad address
      
      When this happens, strace shows that the failure is indeed EFAULT due to
      the kernel mistakenly accessing past the end of dmesg's buffer, since
      dmesg asks the kernel how big a buffer it needs, allocates a bit more,
      and then gets an error when it asks the kernel to fill it:
      
          syslog(0xa, 0, 0)                       = 1048576
          mmap(NULL, 1052672, PROT_READ|PROT_WRITE, MAP_PRIVATE|MAP_ANONYMOUS, -1, 0) = 0x7fa4d25d2000
          syslog(0x3, 0x7fa4d25d2010, 0x100008)   = -1 EFAULT (Bad address)
      
      As far as I can see, the bug has been there as long as print_time(),
      which comes from commit 084681d1 ("printk: flush continuation lines
      immediately to console") in 3.5-rc5.

      It needs 64bit timespec.  As it is, we end up truncating the timeout

      sub-second timeouts truncated to one jiffy is visibly wrong.

      switch compat_sys_wait4() and compat_sys_waitid() to COMPAT_SYSCALL_DEFINE · 8d9807b1
      Al Viro 提交于
      Strictly speaking, ppc64 needs it for C ABI compliance.  Realistically
      I would be very surprised if e.g. passing 0xffffffff as 'options'
      argument to waitid() from 32bit task would cause problems, but yes,
      it puts us into undefined behaviour territory.  ppc64 expects int
      argument to be passed in 64bit register with bits 31..63 containing
      the same value.  SYSCALL_DEFINE on ppc provides a wrapper that normalizes
      the value passed from userland; so does COMPAT_SYSCALL_DEFINE.  Plain
      declaration of compat_sys_something() with an int argument obviously
      doesn't.  Again, for wait4 and waitid I would be extremely surprised
      if gcc started to produce code depending on that value having been
      properly sign-extended - the argument(s) in question end up passed
      blindly to sys_wait4 and sys_waitid resp. and normalization for native
      syscalls takes care of their use there.  Still, better to use
      COMPAT_SYSCALL_DEFINE here than worry about nasal daemons...

      pidns: Stop pid allocation when init dies · c876ad76
      Eric W. Biederman 提交于
      Oleg pointed out that in a pid namespace the sequence.
      - pid 1 becomes a zombie
      - setns(thepidns), fork,...
      - reaping pid 1.
      - The injected processes exiting.
      
      Can lead to processes attempting access their child reaper and
      instead following a stale pointer.
      
      That waitpid for init can return before all of the processes in
      the pid namespace have exited is also unfortunate.
      
      Avoid these problems by disabling the allocation of new pids in a pid
      namespace when init dies, instead of when the last process in a pid
      namespace is reaped.
