Being able to change the trace clock at boot can be advantageous if you need a better source of when things happen across CPUs. The default trace clock is the fastest, but it uses local clocks which may not be synced across CPUs and it does not let you know when events took place with respect to events on other CPUs. The global trace clock can help in this case, and if you do not care about timings, the counter "clock" is the best, as that is just a simple atomic counter that is incremented for every event. Usage is to add "trace_clock=counter" on the kernel command line. You can replace counter with "global" or any of the clocks listed in /sys/kernel/debug/tracing/trace_clock Suggested-by: NThomas Gleixner <tglx@linutronix.de> Tested-by: NThomas Gleixner <tglx@linutronix.de> Reviewed-by: NThomas Gleixner <tglx@linutronix.de> Appreciated-by: NThomas Gleixner <tglx@linutronix.de> Signed-off-by: NSteven Rostedt <rostedt@goodmis.org>

Support multi-buffer on uprobe-based dynamic events by using ftrace_event_file. This patch is based kprobe-based dynamic events multibuffer support work initially, commited by Masami(commit 41a7dd42), but revised as below: Oleg changed the kprobe-based multibuffer design from array-pointers of ftrace_event_file into simple list, so this patch also change to the list design. rcu_read_lock/unlock added into uprobe_trace_func/uretprobe_trace_func, to synchronize with ftrace_event_file list add and delete. Even though we allow multi-uprobes instances now, but TP_FLAG_PROFILE/TP_FLAG_TRACE are still mutually exclusive in probe_event_enable currently, this means we cannot allow one user is using uprobe-tracer, and another user is using perf-probe on same uprobe concurrently. (Perhaps this will be fix in future, kprobe don't have this limitation now) Link: http://lkml.kernel.org/r/1389946120-19610-4-git-send-email-namhyung@kernel.orgReviewed-by: NMasami Hiramatsu <masami.hiramatsu.pt@hitachi.com> Reviewed-by: NOleg Nesterov <oleg@redhat.com> Cc: Ingo Molnar <mingo@kernel.org> Cc: Frederic Weisbecker <fweisbec@gmail.com> Cc: Srikar Dronamraju <srikar@linux.vnet.ibm.com> Signed-off-by: Nzhangwei(Jovi) <jovi.zhangwei@huawei.com> Signed-off-by: NNamhyung Kim <namhyung@kernel.org> Signed-off-by: NSteven Rostedt <rostedt@goodmis.org>

AMD systems which use the C1E workaround in the amd_e400_idle routine trigger the WARN_ON_ONCE in the broadcast code when onlining a CPU. The reason is that the idle routine of those AMD systems switches the cpu into forced broadcast mode early on before the newly brought up CPU can switch over to high resolution / NOHZ mode. The timer related CPU1 bringup looks like this: clockevent_register_device(local_apic); tick_setup(local_apic); ... idle() tick_broadcast_on_off(FORCE); tick_broadcast_oneshot_control(ENTER) cpumask_set(cpu, broadcast_oneshot_mask); halt(); Now the broadcast interrupt on CPU0 sets CPU1 in the broadcast_pending_mask and wakes CPU1. So CPU1 continues: local_apic_timer_interrupt() tick_handle_periodic(); softirq() tick_init_highres(); cpumask_clr(cpu, broadcast_oneshot_mask); tick_broadcast_oneshot_control(ENTER) WARN_ON(cpumask_test(cpu, broadcast_pending_mask); So while we remove CPU1 from the broadcast_oneshot_mask when we switch over to highres mode, we do not clear the pending bit, which then triggers the warning when we go back to idle. The reason why this is only visible on C1E affected AMD systems is that the other machines enter the deep sleep states via acpi_idle/intel_idle and exit the broadcast mode before executing the remote triggered local_apic_timer_interrupt. So the pending bit is already cleared when the switch over to highres mode is clearing the oneshot mask. The solution is simple: Clear the pending bit together with the mask bit when we switch over to highres mode. Stanislaw came up independently with the same patch by enforcing the C1E workaround and debugging the fallout.

Each sub-buffer (buffer page) has a full 64 bit timestamp. The events on that page use a 27 bit delta against that timestamp in order to save on bits written to the ring buffer. If the time between events is larger than what the 27 bits can hold, a "time extend" event is added to hold the entire 64 bit timestamp again and the events after that hold a delta from that timestamp. As a "time extend" is always paired with an event, it is logical to just allocate the event with the time extend, to make things a bit more efficient. Unfortunately, when the pairing code was written, it removed the "delta = 0" from the first commit on a page, causing the events on the page to be slightly skewed.

This changes 'do_execve()' to get the executable name as a 'struct filename', and to free it when it is done. This is what the normal users want, and it simplifies and streamlines their error handling. The controlled lifetime of the executable name also fixes a use-after-free problem with the trace_sched_process_exec tracepoint: the lifetime of the passed-in string for kernel users was not at all obvious, and the user-mode helper code used UMH_WAIT_EXEC to serialize the pathname allocation lifetime with the execve() having finished, which in turn meant that the trace point that happened after mm_release() of the old process VM ended up using already free'd memory. To solve the kernel string lifetime issue, this simply introduces "getname_kernel()" that works like the normal user-space getname() function, except with the source coming from kernel memory. As Oleg points out, this also means that we could drop the tcomm[] array from 'struct linux_binprm', since the pathname lifetime now covers setup_new_exec(). That would be a separate cleanup.

rcu_dereference_check_fdtable() looks very wrong, 1. rcu_my_thread_group_empty() was added by 844b9a87 "vfs: fix RCU-lockdep false positive due to /proc" but it doesn't really fix the problem. A CLONE_THREAD (without CLONE_FILES) task can hit the same race with get_files_struct(). And otoh rcu_my_thread_group_empty() can suppress the correct warning if the caller is the CLONE_FILES (without CLONE_THREAD) task. 2. files->count == 1 check is not really right too. Even if this files_struct is not shared it is not safe to access it lockless unless the caller is the owner. Otoh, this check is sub-optimal. files->count == 0 always means it is safe to use it lockless even if files != current->files, but put_files_struct() has to take rcu_read_lock(). See the next patch. This patch removes the buggy checks and turns fcheck_files() into __fcheck_files() which uses rcu_dereference_raw(), the "unshared" callers, fget_light() and fget_raw_light(), can use it to avoid the warning from RCU-lockdep. fcheck_files() is trivially reimplemented as rcu_lockdep_assert() plus __fcheck_files().

Right now we seem to be exporting the max data size contained inside vmcoreinfo note. But this does not include the size of meta data around vmcore info data. Like name of the note and starting and ending elf_note. I think user space expects total size and that size is put in PT_NOTE elf header. Things seem to be fine so far because we are not using vmcoreinfo note to the maximum capacity. But as it starts filling up, to capacity, at some point of time, problem will be visible. I don't think user space will be broken with this change. So there is no need to introduce vmcoreinfo2. This change is safe and backward compatible. More explanation on why this change is safe is below. vmcoreinfo contains information about kernel which user space needs to know to do things like filtering. For example, various kernel config options or information about size or offset of some data structures etc. All this information is commmunicated to user space with an ELF note present in ELF /proc/vmcore file. Currently vmcoreinfo data size is 4096. With some elf note meta data around it, actual size is 4132 bytes. But we are using barely 25% of that size. Rest is empty. So even if we tell user space that size of ELf note is 4096 and not 4132, nothing will be broken becase after around 1000 bytes, everything is zero anyway. But once we start filling up the note to the capacity, and not report the full size of note, bad things will start happening. Either some data will be lost or tools will be confused that they did not fine the zero note at the end. So I think this change is safe and should not break existing tools.

For general-purpose (i.e. distro) kernel builds it makes sense to build with CONFIG_KEXEC to allow end users to choose what kind of things they want to do with kexec. However, in the face of trying to lock down a system with such a kernel, there needs to be a way to disable kexec_load (much like module loading can be disabled). Without this, it is too easy for the root user to modify kernel memory even when CONFIG_STRICT_DEVMEM and modules_disabled are set. With this change, it is still possible to load an image for use later, then disable kexec_load so the image (or lack of image) can't be altered. The intention is for using this in environments where "perfect" enforcement is hard. Without a verified boot, along with verified modules, and along with verified kexec, this is trying to give a system a better chance to defend itself (or at least grow the window of discoverability) against attack in the face of a privilege escalation. In my mind, I consider several boot scenarios: 1) Verified boot of read-only verified root fs loading fd-based verification of kexec images. 2) Secure boot of writable root fs loading signed kexec images. 3) Regular boot loading kexec (e.g. kcrash) image early and locking it. 4) Regular boot with no control of kexec image at all. 1 and 2 don't exist yet, but will soon once the verified kexec series has landed. 4 is the state of things now. The gap between 2 and 4 is too large, so this change creates scenario 3, a middle-ground above 4 when 2 and 1 are not possible for a system.
