2018-10-09init: add arch_call_rest_init to allow stack switchingMartin Schwidefsky1-2/+7
With CONFIG_VMAP_STACK=y the kernel stack of all tasks should be allocated in the vmalloc space. The initial stack used for all the early init code is in the init_thread_union. To be able to switch from this early stack to a properly allocated stack from vmalloc the architecture needs a switch-over point. Introduce the arch_call_rest_init() function with a weak definition in init/main.c with the only purpose to call rest_init() from the end of start_kernel(). The architecture override can then do the necessary magic to switch to the new vmalloc'ed stack. Signed-off-by: Martin Schwidefsky <schwidefsky@de.ibm.com>
2018-09-27jump_label: Annotate entries that operate on __init code earlierArd Biesheuvel1-1/+0
Jump table entries are mostly read-only, with the exception of the init and module loader code that defuses entries that point into init code when the code being referred to is freed. For robustness, it would be better to move these entries into the ro_after_init section, but clearing the 'code' member of each jump table entry referring to init code at module load time races with the module_enable_ro() call that remaps the ro_after_init section read only, so we'd like to do it earlier. So given that whether such an entry refers to init code can be decided much earlier, we can pull this check forward. Since we may still need the code entry at this point, let's switch to setting a low bit in the 'key' member just like we do to annotate the default state of a jump table entry.

The CHECKPOINT_RESTORE configuration option was introduced in 2012 and combined with EXPERT. CHECKPOINT_RESTORE is already enabled in many distribution kernels and also part of the defconfigs of various architectures. To make it easier for distributions to enable CHECKPOINT_RESTORE this removes EXPERT and moves the configuration option out of the EXPERT block.

2018-08-22init/: remove ineffective sparse disablingLuc Van Oostenryck5-50/+0
Sparse checking used to be disabled on init/do_mounts.c and a few related files because "Many of the syscalls used in this file expect some of the arguments to be __user pointers not __kernel pointers". However since 28128c61e ("kconfig.h: Include compiler types to avoid missed struct attributes") the checks are, in fact, not disabled anymore because of the more early include of "linux/compiler_types.h" So remove the now ineffective #undefery that was done to disable these warnings, as well as the associated comment.

git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/rostedt/linux-trace Pull tracing updates from Steven Rostedt: - Restructure of lockdep and latency tracers This is the biggest change. Joel Fernandes restructured the hooks from irqs and preemption disabling and enabling. He got rid of a lot of the preprocessor #ifdef mess that they caused. He turned both lockdep and the latency tracers to use trace events inserted in the preempt/irqs disabling paths. But unfortunately, these started to cause issues in corner cases. Thus, parts of the code was reverted back to where lockdep and the latency tracers just get called directly (without using the trace events). But because the original change cleaned up the code very nicely we kept that, as well as the trace events for preempt and irqs disabling, but they are limited to not being called in NMIs. - Have trace events use SRCU for "rcu idle" calls. This was required for the preempt/irqs off trace events. But it also had to not allow them to be called in NMI context. Waiting till Paul makes an NMI safe SRCU API. - New notrace SRCU API to allow trace events to use SRCU. - Addition of mcount-nop option support - SPDX headers replacing GPL templates. - Various other fixes and clean ups. - Some fixes are marked for stable, but were not fully tested before the merge window opened. * tag 'trace-v4.19' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/rostedt/linux-trace: (44 commits) tracing: Fix SPDX format headers to use C++ style comments tracing: Add SPDX License format tags to tracing files tracing: Add SPDX License format to bpf_trace.c blktrace: Add SPDX License format header s390/ftrace: Add -mfentry and -mnop-mcount support tracing: Add -mcount-nop option support tracing: Avoid calling cc-option -mrecord-mcount for every Makefile tracing: Handle CC_FLAGS_FTRACE more accurately Uprobe: Additional argument arch_uprobe to uprobe_write_opcode() Uprobes: Simplify uprobe_register() body tracepoints: Free early tracepoints after RCU is initialized uprobes: Use synchronize_rcu() not synchronize_sched() tracing: Fix synchronizing to event changes with tracepoint_synchronize_unregister() ftrace: Remove unused pointer ftrace_swapper_pid tracing: More reverting of "tracing: Centralize preemptirq tracepoints and unify their usage" tracing/irqsoff: Handle preempt_count for different configs tracing: Partial revert of "tracing: Centralize preemptirq tracepoints and unify their usage" tracing: irqsoff: Account for additional preempt_disable trace: Use rcu_dereference_raw for hooks from trace-event subsystem tracing/kprobes: Fix within_notrace_func() to check only notrace functions ...

2018-08-12init: rename and re-order boot_cpu_state_init()Linus Torvalds1-1/+1
This is purely a preparatory patch for upcoming changes during the 4.19 merge window. We have a function called "boot_cpu_state_init()" that isn't really about the bootup cpu state: that is done much earlier by the similarly named "boot_cpu_init()" (note lack of "state" in name). This function initializes some hotplug CPU state, and needs to run after the percpu data has been properly initialized. It even has a comment to that effect. Except it _doesn't_ actually run after the percpu data has been properly initialized. On x86 it happens to do that, but on at least arm and arm64, the percpu base pointers are initialized by the arch-specific 'smp_prepare_boot_cpu()' hook, which ran _after_ boot_cpu_state_init(). This had some unexpected results, and in particular we have a patch pending for the merge window that did the obvious cleanup of using 'this_cpu_write()' in the cpu hotplug init code: - per_cpu_ptr(&cpuhp_state, smp_processor_id())->state = CPUHP_ONLINE; + this_cpu_write(cpuhp_state.state, CPUHP_ONLINE); which is obviously the right thing to do. Except because of the ordering issue, it actually failed miserably and unexpectedly on arm64. So this just fixes the ordering, and changes the name of the function to be 'boot_cpu_hotplug_init()' to make it obvious that it's about cpu hotplug state, because the core CPU state was supposed to have already been done earlier. Marked for stable, since the (not yet merged) patch that will show this problem is marked for stable.

2018-08-10tracing: Partial revert of "tracing: Centralize preemptirq tracepoints and ↵Steven Rostedt (VMware)1-2/+0
unify their usage" Joel Fernandes created a nice patch that cleaned up the duplicate hooks used by lockdep and irqsoff latency tracer. It made both use tracepoints. But it caused lockdep to trigger several false positives. We have not figured out why yet, but removing lockdep from using the trace event hooks and just call its helper functions directly (like it use to), makes the problem go away. This is a partial revert of the clean up patch c3bc8fd637a9 ("tracing: Centralize preemptirq tracepoints and unify their usage") that adds direct calls for lockdep, but also keeps most of the clean up done to get rid of the horrible preprocessor if statements.

2018-08-09signal: Don't restart fork when signals come in.Eric W. Biederman1-0/+1
Wen Yang <wen.yang99@zte.com.cn> and majiang <ma.jiang@zte.com.cn> report that a periodic signal received during fork can cause fork to continually restart preventing an application from making progress. The code was being overly pessimistic. Fork needs to guarantee that a signal sent to multiple processes is logically delivered before the fork and just to the forking process or logically delivered after the fork to both the forking process and it's newly spawned child. For signals like periodic timers that are always delivered to a single process fork can safely complete and let them appear to logically delivered after the fork(). While examining this issue I also discovered that fork today will miss signals delivered to multiple processes during the fork and handled by another thread. Similarly the current code will also miss blocked signals that are delivered to multiple process, as those signals will not appear pending during fork. Add a list of each thread that is currently forking, and keep on that list a signal set that records all of the signals sent to multiple processes. When fork completes initialize the new processes shared_pending signal set with it. The calculate_sigpending function will see those signals and set TIF_SIGPENDING causing the new task to take the slow path to userspace to handle those signals. Making it appear as if those signals were received immediately after the fork. It is not possible to send real time signals to multiple processes and exceptions don't go to multiple processes, which means that that are no signals sent to multiple processes that require siginfo. This means it is safe to not bother collecting siginfo on signals sent during fork. The sigaction of a child of fork is initially the same as the sigaction of the parent process. So a signal the parent ignores the child will also initially ignore. Therefore it is safe to ignore signals sent to multiple processes and ignored by the forking process. Signals sent to only a single process or only a single thread and delivered during fork are treated as if they are received after the fork, and generally not dealt with. They won't cause any problems. V2: Added removal from the multiprocess list on failure. V3: Use -ERESTARTNOINTR directly V4: - Don't queue both SIGCONT and SIGSTOP - Initialize signal_struct.multiprocess in init_task - Move setting of shared_pending to before the new task is visible to signals. This prevents signals from comming in before shared_pending.signal is set to delayed.signal and being lost. V5: - rework list add and delete to account for idle threads v6: - Use sigdelsetmask when removing stop signals Bugzilla: https://bugzilla.kernel.org/show_bug.cgi?id=200447 Reported-by: Wen Yang <wen.yang99@zte.com.cn> and Reported-by: majiang <ma.jiang@zte.com.cn> Fixes: 4a2c7a7837da ("[PATCH] make fork() atomic wrt pgrp/session signals") Signed-off-by: "Eric W.

2018-07-31tracing: Centralize preemptirq tracepoints and unify their usageJoel Fernandes (Google)1-1/+4
This patch detaches the preemptirq tracepoints from the tracers and keeps it separate. Advantages: * Lockdep and irqsoff event can now run in parallel since they no longer have their own calls. * This unifies the usecase of adding hooks to an irqsoff and irqson event, and a preemptoff and preempton event. 3 users of the events exist: - Lockdep - irqsoff and preemptoff tracers - irqs and preempt trace events The unification cleans up several ifdefs and makes the code in preempt tracer and irqsoff tracers simpler. It gets rid of all the horrific ifdeferry around PROVE_LOCKING and makes configuration of the different users of the tracepoints more easy and understandable. It also gets rid of the time_* function calls from the lockdep hooks used to call into the preemptirq tracer which is not needed anymore. The negative delta in lines of code in this patch is quite large too. In the patch we introduce a new CONFIG option PREEMPTIRQ_TRACEPOINTS as a single point for registering probes onto the tracepoints. With this, the web of config options for preempt/irq toggle tracepoints and its users becomes: PREEMPT_TRACER PREEMPTIRQ_EVENTS IRQSOFF_TRACER PROVE_LOCKING | | \ | | \ (selects) / \ \ (selects) / TRACE_PREEMPT_TOGGLE ----> TRACE_IRQFLAGS \ / \ (depends on) / PREEMPTIRQ_TRACEPOINTS Other than the performance tests mentioned in the previous patch, I also ran the locking API test suite. I verified that all tests cases are passing. I also injected issues by not registering lockdep probes onto the tracepoints and I see failures to confirm that the probes are indeed working. This series + lockdep probes not registered (just to inject errors): [ 0.000000] hard-irqs-on + irq-safe-A/21: ok | ok | ok | [ 0.000000] soft-irqs-on + irq-safe-A/21: ok | ok | ok | [ 0.000000] sirq-safe-A => hirqs-on/12:FAILED|FAILED| ok | [ 0.000000] sirq-safe-A => hirqs-on/21:FAILED|FAILED| ok | [ 0.000000] hard-safe-A + irqs-on/12:FAILED|FAILED| ok | [ 0.000000] soft-safe-A + irqs-on/12:FAILED|FAILED| ok | [ 0.000000] hard-safe-A + irqs-on/21:FAILED|FAILED| ok | [ 0.000000] soft-safe-A + irqs-on/21:FAILED|FAILED| ok | [ 0.000000] hard-safe-A + unsafe-B #1/123: ok | ok | ok | [ 0.000000] soft-safe-A + unsafe-B #1/123: ok | ok | ok | With this series + lockdep probes registered, all locking tests pass: [ 0.000000] hard-irqs-on + irq-safe-A/21: ok | ok | ok | [ 0.000000] soft-irqs-on + irq-safe-A/21: ok | ok | ok | [ 0.000000] sirq-safe-A => hirqs-on/12: ok | ok | ok | [ 0.000000] sirq-safe-A => hirqs-on/21: ok | ok | ok | [ 0.000000] hard-safe-A + irqs-on/12: ok | ok | ok | [ 0.000000] soft-safe-A + irqs-on/12: ok | ok | ok | [ 0.000000] hard-safe-A + irqs-on/21: ok | ok | ok | [ 0.000000] soft-safe-A + irqs-on/21: ok | ok | ok | [ 0.000000] hard-safe-A + unsafe-B #1/123: ok | ok | ok | [ 0.000000] soft-safe-A + unsafe-B #1/123: ok | ok | ok | Link: http://lkml.kernel.org/r/20180730222423.196630-4-joel@joelfernandes.org Acked-by: Peter Zijlstra (Intel) <peterz@infradead.org> Reviewed-by: Namhyung Kim <namhyung@kernel.org> Signed-off-by: Joel Fernandes (Google) <joel@joelfernandes.org> Signed-off-by: Steven Rostedt (VMware) <rostedt@goodmis.org>
2018-07-21pid: Implement PIDTYPE_TGIDEric W. Biederman1-1/+1
Everywhere except in the pid array we distinguish between a tasks pid and a tasks tgid (thread group id). Even in the enumeration we want that distinction sometimes so we have added __PIDTYPE_TGID. With leader_pid we almost have an implementation of PIDTYPE_TGID in struct signal_struct. Add PIDTYPE_TGID as a first class member of the pid_type enumeration and into the pids array. Then remove the __PIDTYPE_TGID special case and the leader_pid in signal_struct. The net size increase is just an extra pointer added to struct pid and an extra pair of pointers of an hlist_node added to task_struct. The effect on code maintenance is the removal of a number of special cases today and the potential to remove many more special cases as PIDTYPE_TGID gets used to it's fullest. The long term potential is allowing zombie thread group leaders to exit, which will remove a lot more special cases in the code. Signed-off-by: "Eric W. Biederman" <ebiederm@xmission.com>
2018-07-21pids: Move the pgrp and session pid pointers from task_struct to signal_structEric W. Biederman1-5/+6

This saves a little bit of memory by only allocating the pid pointer array once instead of once for every thread, and even better this removes a few potential races caused by the fact that group_leader can be changed by de_thread, while signal_struct can not.

2018-07-18kbuild: Add build salt to the kernel and modulesLaura Abbott2-0/+12
In Fedora, the debug information is packaged separately (foo-debuginfo) and can be installed separately. There's been a long standing issue where only one version of a debuginfo info package can be installed at a time. There's been an effort for Fedora for parallel debuginfo to rectify this problem. Part of the requirement to allow parallel debuginfo to work is that build ids are unique between builds. The existing upstream rpm implementation ensures this by re-calculating the build-id using the version and release as a seed. This doesn't work 100% for the kernel because of the vDSO which is its own binary and doesn't get updated when embedded. Fix this by adding some data in an ELF note for both the kernel and modules. The data is controlled via a Kconfig option so distributions can set it to an appropriate value to ensure uniqueness between builds.

The thirteen patches can mostly be broken down into one of four categories: general bug fixes, accessor functions for audit state stored in the task_struct, negative filter matches on executable names, and extending the (relatively) new seccomp logging knobs to the audit subsystem. The main driver for the accessor functions from Richard are the changes we're working on to associate audit events with containers, but I think they have some standalone value too so I figured it would be good to get them in now. The seccomp/audit patches from Tyler apply the seccomp logging improvements from a few releases ago to audit's seccomp logging; starting with this patchset the changes in /proc/sys/kernel/seccomp/actions_logged should apply to both the standard kernel logging and audit.

2018-06-06rseq: Introduce restartable sequences system callMathieu Desnoyers1-0/+23
Expose a new system call allowing each thread to register one userspace memory area to be used as an ABI between kernel and user-space for two purposes: user-space restartable sequences and quick access to read the current CPU number value from user-space. * Restartable sequences (per-cpu atomics) Restartables sequences allow user-space to perform update operations on per-cpu data without requiring heavy-weight atomic operations. The restartable critical sections (percpu atomics) work has been started by Paul Turner and Andrew Hunter. It lets the kernel handle restart of critical sections. [1] [2] The re-implementation proposed here brings a few simplifications to the ABI which facilitates porting to other architectures and speeds up the user-space fast path. Here are benchmarks of various rseq use-cases. Test hardware: arm32: ARMv7 Processor rev 4 (v7l) "Cubietruck", 2-core x86-64: Intel E5-2630 v3@2.40GHz, 16-core, hyperthreading The following benchmarks were all performed on a single thread. * Per-CPU statistic counter increment getcpu+atomic (ns/op) rseq (ns/op) speedup arm32: 344.0 31.4 11.0 x86-64: 15.3 2.0 7.7 * LTTng-UST: write event 32-bit header, 32-bit payload into tracer per-cpu buffer getcpu+atomic (ns/op) rseq (ns/op) speedup arm32: 2502.0 2250.0 1.1 x86-64: 117.4 98.0 1.2 * liburcu percpu: lock-unlock pair, dereference, read/compare word getcpu+atomic (ns/op) rseq (ns/op) speedup arm32: 751.0 128.5 5.8 x86-64: 53.4 28.6 1.9 * jemalloc memory allocator adapted to use rseq Using rseq with per-cpu memory pools in jemalloc at Facebook (based on rseq 2016 implementation): The production workload response-time has 1-2% gain avg. latency, and the P99 overall latency drops by 2-3%. * Reading the current CPU number Speeding up reading the current CPU number on which the caller thread is running is done by keeping the current CPU number up do date within the cpu_id field of the memory area registered by the thread. This is done by making scheduler preemption set the TIF_NOTIFY_RESUME flag on the current thread. Upon return to user-space, a notify-resume handler updates the current CPU value within the registered user-space memory area. User-space can then read the current CPU number directly from memory. Keeping the current cpu id in a memory area shared between kernel and user-space is an improvement over current mechanisms available to read the current CPU number, which has the following benefits over alternative approaches: - 35x speedup on ARM vs system call through glibc - 20x speedup on x86 compared to calling glibc, which calls vdso executing a "lsl" instruction, - 14x speedup on x86 compared to inlined "lsl" instruction, - Unlike vdso approaches, this cpu_id value can be read from an inline assembly, which makes it a useful building block for restartable sequences. - The approach of reading the cpu id through memory mapping shared between kernel and user-space is portable (e.g. ARM), which is not the case for the lsl-based x86 vdso. On x86, yet another possible approach would be to use the gs segment selector to point to user-space per-cpu data. This approach performs similarly to the cpu id cache, but it has two disadvantages: it is not portable, and it is incompatible with existing applications already using the gs segment selector for other purposes. Benchmarking various approaches for reading the current CPU number: ARMv7 Processor rev 4 (v7l) Machine model: Cubietruck - Baseline (empty loop): 8.4 ns - Read CPU from rseq cpu_id: 16.7 ns - Read CPU from rseq cpu_id (lazy register): 19.8 ns - glibc 2.19-0ubuntu6.6 getcpu: 301.8 ns - getcpu system call: 234.9 ns x86-64 Intel(R) Xeon(R) CPU E5-2630 v3 @ 2.40GHz: - Baseline (empty loop): 0.8 ns - Read CPU from rseq cpu_id: 0.8 ns - Read CPU from rseq cpu_id (lazy register): 0.8 ns - Read using gs segment selector: 0.8 ns - "lsl" inline assembly: 13.0 ns - glibc 2.19-0ubuntu6 getcpu: 16.6 ns - getcpu system call: 53.9 ns - Speed (benchmark taken on v8 of patchset) Running 10 runs of hackbench -l 100000 seems to indicate, contrary to expectations, that enabling CONFIG_RSEQ slightly accelerates the scheduler: Configuration: 2 sockets * 8-core Intel(R) Xeon(R) CPU E5-2630 v3 @ 2.40GHz (directly on hardware, hyperthreading disabled in BIOS, energy saving disabled in BIOS, turboboost disabled in BIOS, cpuidle.off=1 kernel parameter), with a Linux v4.6 defconfig+localyesconfig, restartable sequences series applied. * CONFIG_RSEQ=n avg.: 41.37 s std.dev.: 0.36 s * CONFIG_RSEQ=y avg.: 40.46 s std.dev.: 0.33 s - Size On x86-64, between CONFIG_RSEQ=n/y, the text size increase of vmlinux is 567 bytes, and the data size increase of vmlinux is 5696 bytes.

2018-05-29kconfig: reference environment variables directly and remove 'option env='Masahiro Yamada1-12/+4
To get access to environment variables, Kconfig needs to define a symbol using "option env=" syntax. It is tedious to add a symbol entry for each environment variable given that we need to define much more such as 'CC', 'AS', 'srctree' etc. to evaluate the compiler capability in Kconfig. Adding '$' for symbol references is grammatically inconsistent. Looking at the code, the symbols prefixed with 'S' are expanded by: - conf_expand_value() This is used to expand 'arch/$ARCH/defconfig' and 'defconfig_list' - sym_expand_string_value() This is used to expand strings in 'source' and 'mainmenu' All of them are fixed values independent of user configuration. So, they can be changed into the direct expansion instead of symbols. This change makes the code much cleaner. The bounce symbols 'SRCARCH', 'ARCH', 'SUBARCH', 'KERNELVERSION' are gone. sym_init() hard-coding 'UNAME_RELEASE' is also gone. 'UNAME_RELEASE' should be replaced with an environment variable. ARCH_DEFCONFIG is a normal symbol, so it should be simply referenced without '$' prefix. The new syntax is addicted by Make. The variable reference needs parentheses, like $(FOO), but you can omit them for single-letter variables, like $F. Yet, in Makefiles, people tend to use the parenthetical form for consistency / clarification. At this moment, only the environment variable is supported, but I will extend the concept of 'variable' later on. The variables are expanded in the lexer so we can simplify the token handling on the parser side. For example, the following code works. [Example code] config MY_TOOLCHAIN_LIST string default "My tools: CC=$(CC), AS=$(AS), CPP=$(CPP)" [Result] $ make -s alldefconfig && tail -n 1 .config CONFIG_MY_TOOLCHAIN_LIST="My tools: CC=gcc, AS=as, CPP=gcc -E" Signed-off-by: Masahiro Yamada <yamada.masahiro@socionext.com> Reviewed-by: Kees Cook <keescook@chromium.org>
