2015-11-06coredump: change zap_threads() and zap_process() to use for_each_thread()Oleg Nesterov1-14/+13
Change zap_threads() paths to use for_each_thread() rather than while_each_thread(). While at it, change zap_threads() to avoid the nested if's to make the code more readable and lessen the indentation.

2015-11-06coredump: ensure all coredumping tasks have SIGNAL_GROUP_COREDUMPOleg Nesterov2-7/+7
task_will_free_mem() is wrong in many ways, and in particular the SIGNAL_GROUP_COREDUMP check is not reliable: a task can participate in the coredumping without SIGNAL_GROUP_COREDUMP bit set. change zap_threads() paths to always set SIGNAL_GROUP_COREDUMP even if other CLONE_VM processes can't react to SIGKILL. Fortunately, at least oom-kill case if fine; it kills all tasks sharing the same mm, so it should also kill the process which actually dumps the core. The change in prepare_signal() is not strictly necessary, it just ensures that the patch does not bring another subtle behavioural change. But it reminds us that this SIGNAL_GROUP_EXIT/COREDUMP case needs more changes.

2015-11-06signal: turn dequeue_signal_lock() into kernel_dequeue_signal()Oleg Nesterov4-21/+12
1. Rename dequeue_signal_lock() to kernel_dequeue_signal(). This matches another "for kthreads only" kernel_sigaction() helper. 2. Remove the "tsk" and "mask" arguments, they are always current and current->blocked. And it is simply wrong if tsk != current. 3. We could also remove the 3rd "siginfo_t *info" arg but it looks potentially useful. However we can simplify the callers if we change kernel_dequeue_signal() to accept info => NULL. 4. Remove _irqsave, it is never called from atomic context.

2015-11-06signals: kill block_all_signals() and unblock_all_signals()Oleg Nesterov4-98/+2
It is hardly possible to enumerate all problems with block_all_signals() and unblock_all_signals(). Just for example, 1. block_all_signals(SIGSTOP/etc) simply can't help if the caller is multithreaded. Another thread can dequeue the signal and force the group stop. 2. Even is the caller is single-threaded, it will "stop" anyway. It will not sleep, but it will spin in kernel space until SIGCONT or SIGKILL. And a lot more. In short, this interface doesn't work at all, at least the last 10+ years. Daniel said: Yeah the only times I played around with the DRM_LOCK stuff was when old drivers accidentally deadlocked - my impression is that the entire DRM_LOCK thing was never really tested properly ;-) Hence I'm all for purging where this leaks out of the drm subsystem.

2015-11-06nilfs2: add a tracepoint for transaction eventsHitoshi Mitake2-1/+85
This patch adds a tracepoint for transaction events of nilfs. With the tracepoint, these events can be tracked: begin, abort, commit, trylock, lock, and unlock. Basically, these events have corresponding functions e.g. begin event corresponds nilfs_transaction_begin(). The unlock event is an exception. It corresponds to the iteration in nilfs_transaction_lock(). Only one tracepoint is introcued: nilfs2_transaction_transition. The above events are distinguished with newly introduced enum. With this tracepoint, we can analyse a critical section of segment constructoin.

2015-11-06nilfs2: add a tracepoint for tracking stage transition of segment constructionHitoshi Mitake3-21/+103
This patch adds a tracepoint for tracking stage transition of block collection in segment construction. With the tracepoint, we can analysis the behavior of segment construction in depth. It would be useful for bottleneck detection and debugging, etc. The tracepoint is created with the standard trace API of linux (like ext3, ext4, f2fs and btrfs). So we can analysis with existing tools easily. Of course, more detailed analysis will be possible if we can create nilfs specific analysis tools. Below is an example of event dump with Brendan Gregg's perf-tools (https://github.com/brendangregg/perf-tools). Time consumption between each stage can be obtained. $ sudo bin/tpoint nilfs2:nilfs2_collection_stage_transition Tracing nilfs2:nilfs2_collection_stage_transition.

2015-11-06nilfs2: free unused dat file blocks during garbage collectionRyusuke Konishi2-17/+75
As a nilfs2 volume ages, the amount of available disk space decreases little by little due to bloat of DAT (disk address translation) metadata file. Even if we delete all files in a file system and free their block addresses from the DAT file through a garbage collection, empty DAT blocks are not freed. This fixes the issue by extending the deallocator of block addresses so that empty data blocks and empty bitmap blocks of DAT are deleted. The following comparison shows the effect of this patch. Each shows disk amount information of a nilfs2 volume that we cleaned out by deleting all files and running gc after having filled 90% of its capacity.

2015-11-06rbtree: clarify documentation of rbtree_postorder_for_each_entry_safe()Cody P Schafer1-2/+10
I noticed that commit a20135ffbc44 ("writeback: don't drain bdi_writeback_congested on bdi destruction") added a usage of rbtree_postorder_for_each_entry_safe() in mm/backing-dev.c which appears to try to rb_erase() elements from an rbtree while iterating over it using rbtree_postorder_for_each_entry_safe(). Doing this will cause random nodes to be missed by the iteration because rb_erase() may rebalance the tree, changing the ordering that we're trying to iterate over. The previous documentation for rbtree_postorder_for_each_entry_safe() wasn't clear that this wasn't allowed, it was taken from the docs for list_for_each_entry_safe(), where erasing isn't a problem due to list_del() not reordering. Explicitly warn developers about this potential pit-fall. Note that I haven't fixed the actual issue that (it appears) the commit referenced above introduced (not familiar enough with that code). In general (and in this case), the patterns to follow are: - switch to rb_first() + rb_erase(), don't use rbtree_postorder_for_each_entry_safe(). - keep the postorder iteration and don't rb_erase() at all. Instead just clear the fields of rb_node & cgwb_congested_tree as required by other users of those structures.

2015-11-06lib/kobject.c: use kvasprintf_const for formatting ->nameRasmus Villemoes1-8/+22
Sometimes kobject_set_name_vargs is called with a format string conaining no %, or a format string of precisely "%s", where the single vararg happens to point to .rodata. kvasprintf_const detects these cases for us and returns a copy of that pointer instead of duplicating the string, thus saving some run-time memory. Otherwise, it falls back to kvasprintf. We just need to always deallocate ->name using kfree_const. Unfortunately, the dance we need to do to perform the '/' -> '!' sanitization makes the resulting code rather ugly. I instrumented kstrdup_const to provide some statistics on the memory saved, and for me this gave an additional ~14KB after boot (306KB was already saved; this patch bumped that to 320KB). I have KMALLOC_SHIFT_LOW==3, and since 80% of the kvasprintf_const hits were satisfied by an 8-byte allocation, the 14K would roughly be quadrupled when KMALLOC_SHIFT_LOW==5. Whether these numbers are sufficient to justify the ugliness I'll leave to others to decide.

2015-11-06lib/kasprintf.c: introduce kvasprintf_constRasmus Villemoes2-0/+18
This adds kvasprintf_const which tries to use kstrdup_const if possible: If the format string contains no % characters, or if the format string is exactly "%s", we delegate to kstrdup_const. Otherwise, we fall back to kvasprintf. Just as for kstrdup_const, the main motivation is to save memory by reusing .rodata when possible. The return value should be freed by kfree_const, just like for kstrdup_const. There is deliberately no kasprintf_const: In the vast majority of cases, the format string argument is a literal, so one can determine statically whether one could instead use kstrdup_const directly (which would also require one to change all corresponding kfree calls to kfree_const).

2015-11-06lib/llist.c: fix data race in llist_del_firstDmitry Vyukov1-2/+2
llist_del_first reads entry->next, but it did not acquire visibility over the entry node. As the result it can get a stale value of entry->next (e.g. NULL or whatever garbage was there before the appending thread wrote correct value). And then commit that value as llist head with cmpxchg. That will corrupt llist. Note there is a control-dependency between read of head->first and read of entry->next, but it does not make the code correct. Kernel memory model unambiguously says: "A load-load control dependency requires a full read memory barrier". Use smp_load_acquire to acquire visibility over the entry node. The data race was found with KernelThreadSanitizer (KTSAN). Here is an example of KTSAN report: ThreadSanitizer: data-race in llist_del_first Read of size 1 by thread T389 (K2630, CPU0): [<ffffffff8156b8a9>] llist_del_first+0x39/0x70 lib/llist.c:74 [< inlined >] tty_buffer_alloc drivers/tty/tty_buffer.c:181 [<ffffffff81664af4>] __tty_buffer_request_room+0xb4/0x250 drivers/tty/tty_buffer.c:292 [<ffffffff81664e6c>] tty_insert_flip_string_fixed_flag+0x6c/0x150 drivers/tty/tty_buffer.c:337 [< inlined >] tty_insert_flip_string include/linux/tty_flip.h:35 [<ffffffff81667422>] pty_write+0x72/0xc0 drivers/tty/pty.c:110 [< inlined >] process_output_block drivers/tty/n_tty.c:611 [<ffffffff8165c016>] n_tty_write+0x346/0x7f0 drivers/tty/n_tty.c:2401 [< inlined >] do_tty_write drivers/tty/tty_io.c:1159 [<ffffffff816568df>] tty_write+0x21f/0x3f0 drivers/tty/tty_io.c:1245 [<ffffffff8125f00f>] __vfs_write+0x5f/0x1f0 fs/read_write.c:489 [<ffffffff8125ff8f>] vfs_write+0xef/0x280 fs/read_write.c:538 [< inlined >] SYSC_write fs/read_write.c:585 [<ffffffff81261390>] SyS_write+0x70/0xe0 fs/read_write.c:577 [<ffffffff81ee862e>] entry_SYSCALL_64_fastpath+0x12/0x71 arch/x86/entry/entry_64.S:186 Previous write of size 8 by thread T226 (K761, CPU0): [<ffffffff8156b832>] llist_add_batch+0x32/0x70 lib/llist.c:44 (discriminator 16) [< inlined >] llist_add include/linux/llist.h:180 [<ffffffff816649fc>] tty_buffer_free+0x6c/0xb0 drivers/tty/tty_buffer.c:221 [<ffffffff816651e7>] flush_to_ldisc+0x107/0x300 drivers/tty/tty_buffer.c:514 [<ffffffff810b20ee>] process_one_work+0x47e/0x930 kernel/workqueue.c:2036 [<ffffffff810b2650>] worker_thread+0xb0/0x900 kernel/workqueue.c:2170 [<ffffffff810bbe20>] kthread+0x150/0x170 kernel/kthread.c:209 [<ffffffff81ee8a1f>] ret_from_fork+0x3f/0x70 arch/x86/entry/entry_64.S:526 Signed-off-by: Dmitry Vyukov <dvyukov@google.com> Reviewed-by: Paul E.

2015-11-06printk: prevent userland from spoofing kernel messagesMathias Krause1-5/+8
The following statement of ABI/testing/dev-kmsg is not quite right: It is not possible to inject messages from userspace with the facility number LOG_KERN (0), to make sure that the origin of the messages can always be reliably determined. Userland actually can inject messages with a facility of 0 by abusing the fact that the facility is stored in a u8 data type. By using a facility which is a multiple of 256 the assignment of msg->facility in log_store() implicitly truncates it to 0, i.e. LOG_KERN, allowing users of /dev/kmsg to spoof kernel messages as shown below: The following call... # printf '<%d>Kernel panic - not syncing: beer empty\n' 0 >/dev/kmsg ...leads to the following log entry (dmesg -x | tail -n 1): user :emerg : [ 66.137758] Kernel panic - not syncing: beer empty However, this call... # printf '<%d>Kernel panic - not syncing: beer empty\n' 0x800 >/dev/kmsg ...leads to the slightly different log entry (note the kernel facility): kern :emerg : [ 74.177343] Kernel panic - not syncing: beer empty Fix that by limiting the user provided facility to 8 bit right from the beginning and catch the truncation early.

2015-11-06test_printf: test printf family at runtimeRasmus Villemoes3-0/+366
This adds a simple module for testing the kernel's printf facilities. Previously, some %p extensions have caused a wrong return value in case the entire output didn't fit and/or been unusable in kasprintf(). This should help catch such issues. Also, it should help ensure that changes to the formatting algorithms don't break anything. I'm not sure if we have a struct dentry or struct file lying around at boot time or if we can fake one, but most %p extensions should be testable, as should the ordinary number and string formatting. The nature of vararg functions means we can't use a more conventional table-driven approach. For now, this is mostly a skeleton; contributions are very welcome. Some tests are/will be slightly annoying to write, since the expected output depends on stuff like CONFIG_*, sizeof(long), runtime values etc. Signed-off-by: Rasmus Villemoes <linux@rasmusvillemoes.dk> Reviewed-by: Kees Cook <keescook@chromium.org> Cc: Andy Shevchenko <andriy.shevchenko@linux.intel.com> Cc: Martin Kletzander <mkletzan@redhat.com> Cc: Rasmus Villemoes <linux@rasmusvillemoes.dk> Signed-off-by: Andrew Morton <akpm@linux-foundation.org> Signed-off-by: Linus Torvalds <torvalds@linux-foundation.org>

Obviously, the kernel can choose to define the behaviour however it wants, but as long as gcc issues that warning, users are unlikely to show up.)

2015-11-06lib/vsprintf.c: handle invalid format specifiers more robustlyRasmus Villemoes1-10/+21
If we meet any invalid or unsupported format specifier, 'handling' it by just printing it as a literal string is not safe: Presumably the format string and the arguments passed gcc's type checking, but that means something like sprintf(buf, "%n %pd", &intvar, dentry) would end up interpreting &intvar as a struct dentry*. When the offending specifier was %n it used to be at the end of the format string, but we can't rely on that always being the case. Also, gcc doesn't complain about some more or less exotic qualifiers (or 'length modifiers' in posix-speak) such as 'j' or 'q', but being unrecognized by the kernel's printf implementation, they'd be interpreted as unknown specifiers, and the rest of arguments would be interpreted wrongly. So let's complain about anything we don't understand, not just %n, and stop pretending that we'd be able to make sense of the rest of the format/arguments. If the offending specifier is in a printk() call we unfortunately only get a "BUG: recent printk recursion!", but at least direct users of the sprintf family will be caught.
