git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/gregkh/driver-core Pull enforcement policy update from Greg KH: "Documentation: Add a file explaining the requested Linux kernel license enforcement policy Here's a new file to the kernel's Documentation directory. It adds a short document describing the views of how the Linux kernel community feels about enforcing the license of the kernel. The patch has been reviewed by a large number of kernel developers already, as seen by their acks on the patch, and their agreement of the statement with their names on it. The location of the file was also agreed upon by the Documentation maintainer, so all should be good there. For some background information about this statement, see this article written by some of the kernel developers involved in drafting it: http://kroah.com/log/blog/2017/10/16/linux-kernel-community-enforcement-statement/ and this article that answers a number of questions that came up in the discussion of this statement with the kernel developer community: http://kroah.com/log/blog/2017/10/16/linux-kernel-community-enforcement-statement-faq/ If anyone has any further questions about it, please let me, and the TAB members, know and we will be glad to help answer them" * tag 'enforcement-4.14-rc6' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/gregkh/driver-core: Documentation: Add a file explaining the Linux kernel license enforcement policy

git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/rostedt/linux-trace Pull tracing fix from Steven Rostedt: "Testing a new trace event format, I triggered a bug by doing: # modprobe trace-events-sample # echo 1 > /sys/kernel/debug/tracing/events/sample-trace/enable # rmmod trace-events-sample This would cause an oops. The issue is that I added another trace event sample that reused a reg function of another trace event to create a thread to call the tracepoints. The problem was that the reg function couldn't handle nested calls (reg; reg; unreg; unreg;) and created two threads (instead of one) and only removed one on exit. This isn't a critical bug as the bug is only in sample code. But sample code should be free of known bugs to prevent others from copying it. This is why this is also marked for stable" * tag 'trace-v4.14-rc3' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/rostedt/linux-trace: tracing/samples: Fix creation and deletion of simple_thread_fn creation

2017-10-17tracing/samples: Fix creation and deletion of simple_thread_fn creationSteven Rostedt (VMware)1-3/+11
Commit 7496946a8 ("tracing: Add samples of DECLARE_EVENT_CLASS() and DEFINE_EVENT()") added template examples for all the events. It created a DEFINE_EVENT_FN() example which reused the foo_bar_reg and foo_bar_unreg functions. Enabling both the TRACE_EVENT_FN() and DEFINE_EVENT_FN() example trace events caused the foo_bar_reg to be called twice, creating the test thread twice. The foo_bar_unreg would remove it only once, even if it was called multiple times, leaving a thread existing when the module is unloaded, causing an oops. Add a ref count and allow foo_bar_reg() and foo_bar_unreg() be called by multiple trace events.

2017-10-14x86/microcode: Do the family check firstBorislav Petkov1-9/+18
On CPUs like AMD's Geode, for example, we shouldn't even try to load microcode because they do not support the modern microcode loading interface. However, we do the family check *after* the other checks whether the loader has been disabled on the command line or whether we're running in a guest.

2017-10-14x86/mm: Flush more aggressively in lazy TLB modeAndy Lutomirski3-49/+136
Since commit: 94b1b03b519b ("x86/mm: Rework lazy TLB mode and TLB freshness tracking") x86's lazy TLB mode has been all the way lazy: when running a kernel thread (including the idle thread), the kernel keeps using the last user mm's page tables without attempting to maintain user TLB coherence at all. From a pure semantic perspective, this is fine -- kernel threads won't attempt to access user pages, so having stale TLB entries doesn't matter. Unfortunately, I forgot about a subtlety. By skipping TLB flushes, we also allow any paging-structure caches that may exist on the CPU to become incoherent. This means that we can have a paging-structure cache entry that references a freed page table, and the CPU is within its rights to do a speculative page walk starting at the freed page table. I can imagine this causing two different problems: - A speculative page walk starting from a bogus page table could read IO addresses. I haven't seen any reports of this causing problems. - A speculative page walk that involves a bogus page table can install garbage in the TLB. Such garbage would always be at a user VA, but some AMD CPUs have logic that triggers a machine check when it notices these bogus entries. I've seen a couple reports of this. Boris further explains the failure mode: > It is actually more of an optimization which assumes that paging-structure > entries are in WB DRAM: > > "TlbCacheDis: cacheable memory disable. Read-write. 0=Enables > performance optimization that assumes PML4, PDP, PDE, and PTE entries > are in cacheable WB-DRAM; memory type checks may be bypassed, and > addresses outside of WB-DRAM may result in undefined behavior or NB > protocol errors. 1=Disables performance optimization and allows PML4, > PDP, PDE and PTE entries to be in any memory type.

This may occur, for > example, when page table structure addresses are above top of memory. In > such cases, the NB will generate an MCE if it sees a mismatch between > the memory operation generated by the core and the link type." > > I'm assuming coherent-only packets don't go out on IO links, thus the > error. To fix this, reinstate TLB coherence in lazy mode. With this patch applied, we do it in one of two ways: - If we have PCID, we simply switch back to init_mm's page tables when we enter a kernel thread -- this seems to be quite cheap except for the cost of serializing the CPU. - If we don't have PCID, then we set a flag and switch to init_mm the first time we would otherwise need to flush the TLB. The /sys/kernel/debug/x86/tlb_use_lazy_mode debug switch can be changed to override the default mode for benchmarking. In theory, we could optimize this better by only flushing the TLB in lazy CPUs when a page table is freed. Doing that would require auditing the mm code to make sure that all page table freeing goes through tlb_remove_page() as well as reworking some data structures to implement the improved flush logic.

2017-10-13mm, swap: use page-cluster as max window of VMA based swap readaheadHuang Ying2-44/+7
When the VMA based swap readahead was introduced, a new knob /sys/kernel/mm/swap/vma_ra_max_order was added as the max window of VMA swap readahead. This is to make it possible to use different max window for VMA based readahead and original physical readahead. But Minchan Kim pointed out that this will cause a regression because setting page-cluster sysctl to zero cannot disable swap readahead with the change. To fix the regression, the page-cluster sysctl is used as the max window of both the VMA based swap readahead and original physical swap readahead. If more fine grained control is needed in the future, more knobs can be added as the subordinate knobs of the page-cluster sysctl. The vma_ra_max_order knob is deleted. Because the knob was introduced in v4.14-rc1, and this patch is targeting being merged before v4.14 releasing, there should be no existing users of this newly added ABI.

2017-10-13mm: page_vma_mapped: ensure pmd is loaded with READ_ONCE outside of lockWill Deacon1-15/+10
Loading the pmd without holding the pmd_lock exposes us to races with concurrent updaters of the page tables but, worse still, it also allows the compiler to cache the pmd value in a register and reuse it later on, even if we've performed a READ_ONCE in between and seen a more recent value. In the case of page_vma_mapped_walk, this leads to the following crash when the pmd loaded for the initial pmd_trans_huge check is all zeroes and a subsequent valid table entry is loaded by check_pmd. We then proceed into map_pte, but the compiler re-uses the zero entry inside pte_offset_map, resulting in a junk pointer being installed in pvmw->pte: PC is at check_pte+0x20/0x170 LR is at page_vma_mapped_walk+0x2e0/0x540 [...] Process doio (pid: 2463, stack limit = 0xffff00000f2e8000) Call trace: check_pte+0x20/0x170 page_vma_mapped_walk+0x2e0/0x540 page_mkclean_one+0xac/0x278 rmap_walk_file+0xf0/0x238 rmap_walk+0x64/0xa0 page_mkclean+0x90/0xa8 clear_page_dirty_for_io+0x84/0x2a8 mpage_submit_page+0x34/0x98 mpage_process_page_bufs+0x164/0x170 mpage_prepare_extent_to_map+0x134/0x2b8 ext4_writepages+0x484/0xe30 do_writepages+0x44/0xe8 __filemap_fdatawrite_range+0xbc/0x110 file_write_and_wait_range+0x48/0xd8 ext4_sync_file+0x80/0x4b8 vfs_fsync_range+0x64/0xc0 SyS_msync+0x194/0x1e8 This patch fixes the problem by ensuring that READ_ONCE is used before the initial checks on the pmd, and this value is subsequently used when checking whether or not the pmd is present. pmd_check is removed and the pmd_present check is inlined directly.

2017-10-13tty: fall back to N_NULL if switching to N_TTY fails during hangupJohannes Weiner1-6/+5
We have seen NULL-pointer dereference crashes in tty->disc_data when the N_TTY fallback driver failed to open during hangup. The immediate cause of this open to fail has been addressed in the preceding patch to vmalloc(), but this code could be more robust. As Alan pointed out in commit 8a8dabf2dd68 ("tty: handle the case where we cannot restore a line discipline"), the N_TTY driver, historically the safe fallback that could never fail, can indeed fail, but the surrounding code is not prepared to handle this. To avoid crashes he added a new N_NULL driver to take N_TTY's place as the last resort. Hook that fallback up to the hangup path. Update tty_ldisc_reinit() to reflect the reality that n_tty_open can indeed fail.

2017-10-13Revert "vmalloc: back off when the current task is killed"Johannes Weiner1-6/+0
This reverts commits 5d17a73a2ebe ("vmalloc: back off when the current task is killed") and 171012f56127 ("mm: don't warn when vmalloc() fails due to a fatal signal"). Commit 5d17a73a2ebe ("vmalloc: back off when the current task is killed") made all vmalloc allocations from a signal-killed task fail. We have seen crashes in the tty driver from this, where a killed task exiting tries to switch back to N_TTY, fails n_tty_open because of the vmalloc failing, and later crashes when dereferencing tty->disc_data. Arguably, relying on a vmalloc() call to succeed in order to properly exit a task is not the most robust way of doing things. There will be a follow-up patch to the tty code to fall back to the N_NULL ldisc. But the justification to make that vmalloc() call fail like this isn't convincing, either. The patch mentions an OOM victim exhausting the memory reserves and thus deadlocking the machine. But the OOM killer is only one, improbable source of fatal signals. It doesn't make sense to fail allocations preemptively with plenty of memory in most cases. The patch doesn't mention real-life instances where vmalloc sites would exhaust memory, which makes it sound more like a theoretical issue to begin with. But just in case, the OOM access to memory reserves has been restricted on the allocator side in cd04ae1e2dc8 ("mm, oom: do not rely on TIF_MEMDIE for memory reserves access"), which should take care of any theoretical concerns on that front. Revert this patch, and the follow-up that suppresses the allocation warnings when we fail the allocations due to a signal.

For example, in efi/libstub, arm64 images are built with '--prefix-alloc-sections=.init --prefix-symbols=__efistub_'. In combination with '-frecord-gcc-switches', the symbols are now reported by nm as: 000000000000000e n __efistub_$d and by objdump as: 0000000000000000 l d .GCC.command.line 0000000000000000 .GCC.command.line 000000000000000e l .GCC.command.line 0000000000000000 __efistub_$d Those symbols are no longer ignored and included in the base address calculation. This results in a base address of 000000000000000e, which in turn causes kallsyms to abort with kallsyms failure: relative symbol value 0xffffff900800a000 out of range in relative mode The problem is seen in little endian arm64 builds with CONFIG_EFI enabled and with '-frecord-gcc-switches' set in KCFLAGS. Explicitly ignore symbols of type 'n' since those are clearly debug symbols.
