2017-07-06mm: allow slab_nomerge to be set at build timeKees Cook1-0/+14
Some hardened environments want to build kernels with slab_nomerge already set (so that they do not depend on remembering to set the kernel command line option). This is desired to reduce the risk of kernel heap overflows being able to overwrite objects from merged caches and changes the requirements for cache layout control, increasing the difficulty of these attacks. By keeping caches unmerged, these kinds of exploits can usually only damage objects in the same cache (though the risk to metadata exploitation is unchanged).

2017-06-08srcu: Apply trivial callback lists to shrink Tiny SRCUPaul E. McKenney1-1/+1
The rcu_segcblist structure provides quite a bit of functionality, and Tiny SRCU needs almost none of it. So this commit replaces Tiny SRCU's uses of rcu_segcblist with a simple singly linked list with tail pointer. This change significantly reduces Tiny SRCU's memory footprint, more than making up for the growth caused by the creation of rcu_segcblist.c Signed-off-by: Paul E.

Commit d160a727c40e ("srcu: Make SRCU be built by default") in response to build errors, which were caused by code that included srcu.h despite !SRCU. However, srcutiny.o is almost 2K of code, which is not insignificant for those attempting to run the Linux kernel on IoT devices.

2017-04-24srcu: Fix Kconfig botch when SRCU not selectedPaul E. McKenney1-2/+2
If the CONFIG_SRCU option is not selected, for example, when building arch/tile allnoconfig, the following build errors appear: kernel/rcu/tree.o: In function `srcu_online_cpu': tree.c:(.text+0x4248): multiple definition of `srcu_online_cpu' kernel/rcu/srcutree.o:srcutree.c:(.text+0x2120): first defined here kernel/rcu/tree.o: In function `srcu_offline_cpu': tree.c:(.text+0x4250): multiple definition of `srcu_offline_cpu' kernel/rcu/srcutree.o:srcutree.c:(.text+0x2160): first defined here The corresponding .config file shows CONFIG_TREE_SRCU=y, but no sign of CONFIG_SRCU, which fatally confuses SRCU's #ifdefs, resulting in the above errors. The reason this occurs is the folowing line in init/Kconfig's definition for TREE_SRCU: default y if !TINY_RCU && !CLASSIC_SRCU If CONFIG_CLASSIC_SRCU=n, as it will be in for allnoconfig, and if CONFIG_SMP=y, then we will get CONFIG_TREE_SRCU=y but no CONFIG_SRCU, as seen in the .config file, and which will result in the above errors. This error did not show up during rcutorture testing because rcutorture forces CONFIG_SRCU=y, as it must to prevent build errors in rcutorture.c. This commit therefore conditions TREE_SRCU (and TINY_SRCU, while it is at it) with SRCU, like this: default y if SRCU && !TINY_RCU && !CLASSIC_SRCU Reported-by: kbuild test robot <fengguang.wu@intel.com> Reported-by: Ingo Molnar <mingo@kernel.org> Signed-off-by: Paul E.

2017-04-18srcu: Introduce CLASSIC_SRCU Kconfig optionPaul E. McKenney1-2/+19
The TREE_SRCU rewrite is large and a bit on the non-simple side, so this commit helps reduce risk by allowing the old v4.11 SRCU algorithm to be selected using a new CLASSIC_SRCU Kconfig option that depends on RCU_EXPERT. The default is to use the new TREE_SRCU and TINY_SRCU algorithms, in order to help get these the testing that they need. However, if your users do not require the update-side scalability that is to be provided by TREE_SRCU, select RCU_EXPERT and then CLASSIC_SRCU to revert back to the old classic SRCU algorithm.

2017-02-22slub: make sysfs directories for memcg sub-caches optionalTejun Heo1-0/+14
SLUB creates a per-cache directory under /sys/kernel/slab which hosts a bunch of debug files. Usually, there aren't that many caches on a system and this doesn't really matter; however, if memcg is in use, each cache can have per-cgroup sub-caches. SLUB creates the same directories for these sub-caches under /sys/kernel/slab/$CACHE/cgroup. Unfortunately, because there can be a lot of cgroups, active or draining, the product of the numbers of caches, cgroups and files in each directory can reach a very high number - hundreds of thousands is commonplace. Millions and beyond aren't difficult to reach either. What's under /sys/kernel/slab is primarily for debugging and the information and control on the a root cache already cover its sub-caches. While having a separate directory for each sub-cache can be helpful for development, it doesn't make much sense to pay this amount of overhead by default. This patch introduces a boot parameter slub_memcg_sysfs which determines whether to create sysfs directories for per-memcg sub-caches. It also adds CONFIG_SLUB_MEMCG_SYSFS_ON which determines the boot parameter's default value and defaults to 0.

This add the kbuild infrastructure that will allow architectures to emit vmlinux symbol CRCs as 32-bit offsets to another location in the kernel where the actual value is stored. This works around problems with CRCs being mistaken for relocatable symbols on kernels that self relocate at runtime (i.e., powerpc with CONFIG_RELOCATABLE=y) For the kbuild side of things, this comes down to the following: - introducing a Kconfig symbol MODULE_REL_CRCS - adding a -R switch to genksyms to instruct it to emit the CRC symbols as references into the .rodata section - making modpost distinguish such references from absolute CRC symbols by the section index (SHN_ABS) - making kallsyms disregard non-absolute symbols with a __crc_ prefix Signed-off-by: Ard Biesheuvel <ard.biesheuvel@linaro.org> Signed-off-by: Linus Torvalds <torvalds@linux-foundation.org>

2017-01-16rcu: update: Make RCU_EXPEDITE_BOOT be the defaultSebastian Andrzej Siewior1-13/+0
RCU_EXPEDITE_BOOT should speed up the boot process by enforcing synchronize_rcu_expedited() instead of synchronize_rcu() during the boot process. There should be no reason why one does not want this and there is no need worry about real time latency at this point. Therefore make it default. Note that users wishing to avoid expediting entirely, for example when bringing up new hardware possibly having flaky IPIs, can use the rcu_normal boot parameter to override boot-time expediting.

2017-01-10rdmacg: Added rdma cgroup controllerParav Pandit1-0/+10
Added rdma cgroup controller that does accounting, limit enforcement on rdma/IB resources. Added rdma cgroup header file which defines its APIs to perform charging/uncharging functionality. It also defined APIs for RDMA/IB stack for device registration. Devices which are registered will participate in controller functions of accounting and limit enforcements. It define rdmacg_device structure to bind IB stack and RDMA cgroup controller. RDMA resources are tracked using resource pool. Resource pool is per device, per cgroup entity which allows setting up accounting limits on per device basis. Currently resources are defined by the RDMA cgroup. Resource pool is created/destroyed dynamically whenever charging/uncharging occurs respectively and whenever user configuration is done. Its a tradeoff of memory vs little more code space that creates resource pool object whenever necessary, instead of creating them during cgroup creation and device registration time.

Couple conflicts resolved here: 1) In the MACB driver, a bug fix to properly initialize the RX tail pointer properly overlapped with some changes to support variable sized rings. 2) In XGBE we had a "CONFIG_PM" --> "CONFIG_PM_SLEEP" fix overlapping with a reorganization of the driver to support ACPI, OF, as well as PCI variants of the chip. 3) In 'net' we had several probe error path bug fixes to the stmmac driver, meanwhile a lot of this code was cleaned up and reorganized in 'net-next'. 4) The cls_flower classifier obtained a helper function in 'net-next' called __fl_delete() and this overlapped with Daniel Borkamann's bug fix to use RCU for object destruction in 'net'. It also overlapped with Jiri's change to guard the rhashtable_remove_fast() call with a check against tc_skip_sw(). 5) In mlx4, a revert bug fix in 'net' overlapped with some unrelated changes in 'net-next'. 6) In geneve, a stale header pointer after pskb_expand_head() bug fix in 'net' overlapped with a large reorganization of the same code in 'net-next'. Since the 'net-next' code no longer had the bug in question, there was nothing to do other than to simply take the 'net-next' hunks. Signed-off-by: David S. Miller <davem@davemloft.net>
2016-11-29Re-enable CONFIG_MODVERSIONS in a slightly weaker formLinus Torvalds1-1/+0
This enables CONFIG_MODVERSIONS again, but allows for missing symbol CRC information in order to work around the issue that newer binutils versions seem to occasionally drop the CRC on the floor. binutils 2.26 seems to work fine, while binutils 2.27 seems to break MODVERSIONS of symbols that have been defined in assembler files. [ We've had random missing CRC's before - it may be an old problem that just is now reliably triggered with the weak asm symbols and a new version of binutils ] Some day I really do want to remove MODVERSIONS entirely. Sadly, today does not appear to be that day: Debian people apparently do want the option to enable MODVERSIONS to make it easier to have external modules across kernel versions, and this seems to be a fairly minimal fix for the annoying problem.

2016-11-25cgroup: add support for eBPF programsDaniel Mack1-0/+12
This patch adds two sets of eBPF program pointers to struct cgroup. One for such that are directly pinned to a cgroup, and one for such that are effective for it. To illustrate the logic behind that, assume the following example cgroup hierarchy. A - B - C \ D - E If only B has a program attached, it will be effective for B, C, D and E. If D then attaches a program itself, that will be effective for both D and E, and the program in B will only affect B and C. Only one program of a given type is effective for a cgroup. Attaching and detaching programs will be done through the bpf(2) syscall. For now, ingress and egress inet socket filtering are the only supported use-cases.

Some embedded systems have no use for them. This removes about 25KB from the kernel binary size when configured out. Corresponding syscalls are routed to a stub logging the attempt to use those syscalls which should be enough of a clue if they were disabled without proper consideration. They are: timer_create, timer_gettime: timer_getoverrun, timer_settime, timer_delete, clock_adjtime, setitimer, getitimer, alarm. The clock_settime, clock_gettime, clock_getres and clock_nanosleep syscalls are replaced by simple wrappers compatible with CLOCK_REALTIME, CLOCK_MONOTONIC and CLOCK_BOOTTIME only which should cover the vast majority of use cases with very little code.

2016-10-11relay: Use irq_work instead of plain timer for deferred wakeupPeter Zijlstra1-0/+1
Relay avoids calling wake_up_interruptible() for doing the wakeup of readers/consumers, waiting for the generation of new data, from the context of a process which produced the data. This is apparently done to prevent the possibility of a deadlock in case Scheduler itself is is generating data for the relay, after acquiring rq->lock. The following patch used a timer (to be scheduled at next jiffy), for delegating the wakeup to another context. commit 7c9cb38302e78d24e37f7d8a2ea7eed4ae5f2fa7 Author: Tom Zanussi <zanussi@comcast.net> Date: Wed May 9 02:34:01 2007 -0700 relay: use plain timer instead of delayed work relay doesn't need to use schedule_delayed_work() for waking readers when a simple timer will do. Scheduling a plain timer, at next jiffies boundary, to do the wakeup causes a significant wakeup latency for the Userspace client, which makes relay less suitable for the high-frequency low-payload use cases where the data gets generated at a very high rate, like multiple sub buffers getting filled within a milli second. Moreover the timer is re-scheduled on every newly produced sub buffer so the timer keeps getting pushed out if sub buffers are filled in a very quick succession (less than a jiffy gap between filling of 2 sub buffers). As a result relay runs out of sub buffers to store the new data. By using irq_work it is ensured that wakeup of userspace client, blocked in the poll call, is done at earliest (through self IPI or next timer tick) enabling it to always consume the data in time. Also this makes relay consistent with printk & ring buffers (trace), as they too use irq_work for deferred wake up of readers.
