2014-04-16tracing: Do not try to recreated toplevel set_ftrace_* filesSteven Rostedt (Red Hat)1-6/+10
With the restructing of the function tracer working with instances, the "top level" buffer is a bit special, as the function tracing is mapped to the same set of filters. This is done by using a "global_ops" descriptor and having the "set_ftrace_filter" and "set_ftrace_notrace" map to it. When an instance is created, it creates the same files but its for the local instance and not the global_ops. The issues is that the local instance creation shares some code with the global instance one and we end up trying to create th top level "set_ftrace_*" files twice, and on boot up, we get an error like this: Could not create debugfs 'set_ftrace_filter' entry Could not create debugfs 'set_ftrace_notrace' entry The reason they failed to be created was because they were created twice, and the second time gives this error as you can not create the same file twice.

Pull networking fixes from David Miller: 1) Fix BPF filter validation of netlink attribute accesses, from Mathias Kruase. 2) Netfilter conntrack generation seqcount not initialized properly, from Andrey Vagin. 3) Fix comparison mask computation on big-endian in nft_cmp_fast(), from Patrick McHardy. 4) Properly limit MTU over ipv6, from Eric Dumazet. 5) Fix seccomp system call argument population on 32-bit, from Daniel Borkmann. 6) skb_network_protocol() should not use hard-coded ETH_HLEN, instead skb->mac_len needs to be used. From Vlad Yasevich. 7) We have several cases of using socket based communications to implement a tunnel. For example, some tunnels are encapsulations over UDP so we use an internal kernel UDP socket to do the transmits. These tunnels should behave just like other software devices and pass the packets on down to the next layer. Most importantly we want the top-level socket (eg TCP) that created the traffic to be charged for the SKB memory. However, once you get into the IP output path, we have code that assumed that whatever was attached to skb->sk is an IP socket. To keep the top-level socket being charged for the SKB memory, whilst satisfying the needs of the IP output path, we now pass in an explicit 'sk' argument. From Eric Dumazet. 8) ping_init_sock() leaks group info, from Xiaoming Wang. * git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/davem/net: (33 commits) cxgb4: use the correct max size for firmware flash qlcnic: Fix MSI-X initialization code ip6_gre: don't allow to remove the fb_tunnel_dev ipv4: add a sock pointer to dst->output() path. ipv4: add a sock pointer to ip_queue_xmit() driver/net: cosa driver uses udelay incorrectly at86rf230: fix __at86rf230_read_subreg function at86rf230: remove check if AVDD settled net: cadence: Add architecture dependencies net: Start with correct mac_len in skb_network_protocol Revert "net: sctp: Fix a_rwnd/rwnd management to reflect real state of the receiver's buffer" cxgb4: Save the correct mac addr for hw-loopback connections in the L2T net: filter: seccomp: fix wrong decoding of BPF_S_ANC_SECCOMP_LD_W seccomp: fix populating a0-a5 syscall args in 32-bit x86 BPF qlcnic: Do not disable SR-IOV when VFs are assigned to VMs qlcnic: Fix QLogic application/driver interface for virtual NIC configuration qlcnic: Fix PVID configuration on eSwitch port. qlcnic: Fix max ring count calculation qlcnic: Fix to send INIT_NIC_FUNC as first mailbox. qlcnic: Fix panic due to uninitialzed delayed_work struct in use. ...

Since commit d689fe222 (NOHZ: Check for nohz active instead of nohz enabled) the tick_nohz_switch_to_nohz() function returns because it checks for the tick_nohz_active flag.

2014-04-15tick-sched: Don't call update_wall_time() when delta is lesser than tick_periodViresh Kumar1-0/+3
In tick_do_update_jiffies64() we are processing ticks only if delta is greater than tick_period. This is what we are supposed to do here and it broke a bit with this patch: commit 47a1b796 (tick/timekeeping: Call update_wall_time outside the jiffies lock) With above patch, we might end up calling update_wall_time() even if delta is found to be smaller that tick_period. Fix this by returning when the delta is less than tick period.

2014-04-14user namespace: fix incorrect memory barriersMikulas Patocka1-6/+5
smp_read_barrier_depends() can be used if there is data dependency between the readers - i.e. if the read operation after the barrier uses address that was obtained from the read operation before the barrier. In this file, there is only control dependency, no data dependecy, so the use of smp_read_barrier_depends() is incorrect. The code could fail in the following way: * the cpu predicts that idx < entries is true and starts executing the body of the for loop * the cpu fetches map->extent[0].first and map->extent[0].count * the cpu fetches map->nr_extents * the cpu verifies that idx < extents is true, so it commits the instructions in the body of the for loop The problem is that in this scenario, the cpu read map->extent[0].first and map->nr_extents in the wrong order. We need a full read memory barrier to prevent it. Signed-off-by: Mikulas Patocka <mpatocka@redhat.com> Cc: stable@vger.kernel.org Signed-off-by: Linus Torvalds <torvalds@linux-foundation.org>

Moreover, Linus reports that x86_64 Chromium seems fine. The underlying issue that explains this is that the implementation of populate_seccomp_data() is wrong. Our seccomp data structure sd that is being shared with user ABI is: struct seccomp_data { int nr; __u32 arch; __u64 instruction_pointer; __u64 args[6]; }; Therefore, a simple cast to 'unsigned long *' for storing the value of the syscall argument via syscall_get_arguments() is just wrong as on 32-bit x86 (or any other 32bit arch), it would result in storing a0-a5 at wrong offsets in args[] member, and thus i) could leak stack memory to user space and ii) tampers with the logic of seccomp BPF programs that read out and check for syscall arguments: syscall_get_arguments(task, regs, 0, 1, (unsigned long *) &sd->args[0]); Tested on 32-bit x86 with Google Chrome, unfortunately only via remote test machine through slow ssh X forwarding, but it fixes the issue on my side. So fix it up by storing args in type correct variables, gcc is clever and optimizes the copy away in other cases, e.g. x86_64.

Commits 11d4616bd07f ("futex: revert back to the explicit waiter counting code") and 69cd9eba3886 ("futex: avoid race between requeue and wake") changed some of the finer details of how we think about futexes. One was a late fix and the other a consequence of overlooking the whole requeuing logic.

git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/rostedt/linux-trace Pull more tracing updates from Steven Rostedt: "This includes the final patch to clean up and fix the issue with the design of tracepoints and how a user could register a tracepoint and have that tracepoint not be activated but no error was shown. The design was for an out of tree module but broke in tree users. The clean up was to remove the saving of the hash table of tracepoint names such that they can be enabled before they exist (enabling a module tracepoint before that module is loaded). This added more complexity than needed. The clean up was to remove that code and just enable tracepoints that exist or fail if they do not. This removed a lot of code as well as the complexity that it brought. As a side effect, instead of registering a tracepoint by its name, the tracepoint needs to be registered with the tracepoint descriptor. This removes having to duplicate the tracepoint names that are enabled. The second patch was added that simplified the way modules were searched for. This cleanup required changes that were in the 3.15 queue as well as some changes that were added late in the 3.14-rc cycle. This final change waited till the two were merged in upstream and then the change was added and full tests were run. Unfortunately, the test found some errors, but after it was already submitted to the for-next branch and not to be rebased. Sparse errors were detected by Fengguang Wu's bot tests, and my internal tests discovered that the anonymous union initialization triggered a bug in older gcc compilers. Luckily, there was a bugzilla for the gcc bug which gave a work around to the problem. The third and fourth patch handled the sparse error and the gcc bug respectively.

2014-04-09futex: avoid race between requeue and wakeLinus Torvalds1-0/+5
Jan Stancek reported: "pthread_cond_broadcast/4-1.c testcase from openposix testsuite (LTP) occasionally fails, because some threads fail to wake up. Testcase creates 5 threads, which are all waiting on same condition. Main thread then calls pthread_cond_broadcast() without holding mutex, which calls: futex(uaddr1, FUTEX_CMP_REQUEUE_PRIVATE, 1, 2147483647, uaddr2, ..) This immediately wakes up single thread A, which unlocks mutex and tries to wake up another thread: futex(uaddr2, FUTEX_WAKE_PRIVATE, 1) If thread A manages to call futex_wake() before any waiters are requeued for uaddr2, no other thread is woken up" The ordering constraints for the hash bucket waiter counting are that the waiter counts have to be incremented _before_ getting the spinlock (because the spinlock acts as part of the memory barrier), but the "requeue" operation didn't honor those rules, and nobody had even thought about that case. This fairly simple patch just increments the waiter count for the target hash bucket (hb2) when requeing a futex before taking the locks. It then decrements them again after releasing the lock - the code that actually moves the futex(es) between hash buckets will do the additional required waiter count housekeeping.

Register/unregister tracepoint probes with struct tracepoint pointer rather than tracepoint name. This change, which vastly simplifies tracepoint.c, has been proposed by Steven Rostedt. It also removes 8.8kB (mostly of text) to the vmlinux size. From this point on, the tracers need to pass a struct tracepoint pointer to probe register/unregister. A probe can now only be connected to a tracepoint that exists. Moreover, tracers are responsible for unregistering the probe before the module containing its associated tracepoint is unloaded. text data bss dec hex filename 10443444 4282528 10391552 25117524 17f4354 vmlinux.orig 10434930 4282848 10391552 25109330 17f2352 vmlinux Link: http://lkml.kernel.org/r/1396992381-23785-2-git-send-email-mathieu.desnoyers@efficios.com CC: Ingo Molnar <mingo@kernel.org> CC: Frederic Weisbecker <fweisbec@gmail.com> CC: Andrew Morton <akpm@linux-foundation.org> CC: Frank Ch.

2014-04-07wait: WSTOPPED|WCONTINUED doesn't work if a zombie leader is traced by ↵Oleg Nesterov1-13/+9
another process Even if the main thread is dead the process still can stop/continue. However, if the leader is ptraced wait_consider_task(ptrace => false) always skips wait_task_stopped/wait_task_continued, so WSTOPPED or WCONTINUED can never work for the natural parent in this case. Move the "A zombie ptracee is only visible to its ptracer" check into the "if (!delay_group_leader(p))" block. ->notask_error is cleared by the "fall through" code below. This depends on the previous change, wait_task_stopped/continued must be avoided if !delay_group_leader() and the tracer is ->real_parent. Otherwise WSTOPPED|WEXITED could wrongly report "stopped" when the child is already dead (single-threaded or not). If it is traced by another task then the "stopped" state is fine until the debugger detaches and reveals a zombie state. Stupid test-case: void *tfunc(void *arg) { sleep(1); // wait for zombie leader raise(SIGSTOP); exit(0x13); return NULL; } int run_child(void) { pthread_t thread; if (!fork()) { int tracee = getppid(); assert(ptrace(PTRACE_ATTACH, tracee, 0,0) == 0); do ptrace(PTRACE_CONT, tracee, 0,0); while (wait(NULL) > 0); return 0; } sleep(1); // wait for PTRACE_ATTACH assert(pthread_create(&thread, NULL, tfunc, NULL) == 0); pthread_exit(NULL); } int main(void) { int child, stat; child = fork(); if (!child) return run_child(); assert(child == waitpid(-1, &stat, WSTOPPED)); assert(stat == 0x137f); kill(child, SIGCONT); assert(child == waitpid(-1, &stat, WCONTINUED)); assert(stat == 0xffff); assert(child == waitpid(-1, &stat, 0)); assert(stat == 0x1300); return 0; } Without this patch it hangs in waitpid(WSTOPPED), wait_task_stopped() is never called. Note: this doesn't fix all problems with a zombie delay_group_leader(), WCONTINUED | WEXITED check is not exactly right. debugger can't assume it will be notified if another thread reaps the whole thread group.

2014-04-07wait: WSTOPPED|WCONTINUED hangs if a zombie child is traced by real_parentOleg Nesterov1-13/+16
"A zombie is only visible to its ptracer" logic in wait_consider_task() is very wrong. Trivial test-case: #include <unistd.h> #include <sys/ptrace.h> #include <sys/wait.h> #include <assert.h> int main(void) { int child = fork(); if (!child) { assert(ptrace(PTRACE_TRACEME, 0,0,0) == 0); return 0x23; } assert(waitid(P_ALL, child, NULL, WEXITED | WNOWAIT) == 0); assert(waitid(P_ALL, 0, NULL, WSTOPPED) == -1); return 0; } it hangs in waitpid(WSTOPPED) despite the fact it has a single zombie child. This is because wait_consider_task(ptrace => 0) sees p->ptrace and cleares ->notask_error assuming that the debugger should detach and notify us. Change wait_consider_task(ptrace => 0) to pretend that ptrace == T if the child is traced by us. This really simplifies the logic and allows us to do more fixes, see the next changes. This also hides the unwanted group stop state automatically, we can remove another ptrace_reparented() check. Unfortunately, this adds the following behavioural changes: 1. Before this patch wait(WEXITED | __WNOTHREAD) does not reap a natural child if it is traced by the caller's sub-thread. Hopefully nobody will ever notice this change, and I think that nobody should rely on this behaviour anyway. 2. SIGNAL_STOP_CONTINUED is no longer hidden from debugger if it is real parent. While this change comes as a side effect, I think it is good by itself. The group continued state can not be consumed by another process in this case, it doesn't depend on ptrace, it doesn't make sense to hide it from real parent. Perhaps we should add the thread_group_leader() check before wait_task_continued()? May be, but this shouldn't depend on ptrace_reparented().

2014-04-07wait: introduce EXIT_TRACE to avoid the racy EXIT_DEAD->EXIT_ZOMBIE transitionOleg Nesterov1-29/+21
wait_task_zombie() first does EXIT_ZOMBIE->EXIT_DEAD transition and drops tasklist_lock. If this task is not the natural child and it is traced, we change its state back to EXIT_ZOMBIE for ->real_parent. The last transition is racy, this is even documented in 50b8d257486a "ptrace: partially fix the do_wait(WEXITED) vs EXIT_DEAD->EXIT_ZOMBIE race". wait_consider_task() tries to detect this transition and clear ->notask_error but we can't rely on ptrace_reparented(), debugger can exit and do ptrace_unlink() before its sub-thread sets EXIT_ZOMBIE. And there is another problem which were missed before: this transition can also race with reparent_leader() which doesn't reset >exit_signal if EXIT_DEAD, assuming that this task must be reaped by someone else. So the tracee can be re-parented with ->exit_signal != SIGCHLD, and if /sbin/init doesn't use __WALL it becomes unreapable. This was fixed by the previous commit, but it was the temporary hack. 1. Add the new exit_state, EXIT_TRACE. It means that the task is the traced zombie, debugger is going to detach and notify its natural parent. This new state is actually EXIT_ZOMBIE | EXIT_DEAD. This way we can avoid the changes in proc/kgdb code, get_task_state() still reports "X (dead)" in this case. Note: with or without this change userspace can see Z -> X -> Z transition. Not really bad, but probably makes sense to fix. 2. Change wait_task_zombie() to use EXIT_TRACE instead of EXIT_DEAD if we need to notify the ->real_parent. 3. Revert the previous hack in reparent_leader(), now that EXIT_DEAD is always the final state we can safely ignore such a task. 4. Change wait_consider_task() to check EXIT_TRACE separately and kill the racy and no longer needed ptrace_reparented() case. If ptrace == T an EXIT_TRACE thread should be simply ignored, the owner of this state is going to ptrace_unlink() this task. We can pretend that it was already removed from ->ptraced list. Otherwise we should skip this thread too but clear ->notask_error, we must be the natural parent and debugger is going to untrace and notify us. IOW, this doesn't differ from "EXIT_ZOMBIE && p->ptrace" even if the task was already untraced.

2014-04-07kernel/exit.c: call proc_exit_connector() after exit_state is setGuillaume Morin1-1/+1
The process events connector delivers a notification when a process exits. This is really convenient for a process that spawns and wants to monitor its children through an epoll-able() interface. Unfortunately, there is a small window between when the event is delivered and the child become wait()-able. This is creates a race if the parent wants to make sure that it knows about the exit, e.g pid_t pid = fork(); if (pid > 0) { register_interest_for_pid(pid); if (waitpid(pid, NULL, WNOHANG) > 0) { /* We might have raced with exit() */ } return; } /* Child */ execve(...) register_interest_for_pid() would be telling the the connector socket reader to pay attention to events related to pid. Though this is not a bug, I think it would make the connector a bit more usable if this race was closed by simply moving the call to proc_exit_connector() from just before exit_notify() to right after. Oleg said: : Even with this patch the code above is still "racy" if the child is : multi-threaded. Plus it should obviously filter-out subthreads. And : afaics there is no way to make it reliable, even if you change the code : above so that waitpid() is called only after the last thread exits WNOHANG : still can fail.

2014-04-07mm, mempolicy: remove per-process flagDavid Rientjes1-1/+0
PF_MEMPOLICY is an unnecessary optimization for CONFIG_SLAB users. There's no significant performance degradation to checking current->mempolicy rather than current->flags & PF_MEMPOLICY in the allocation path, especially since this is considered unlikely().

2014-04-07mm: per-thread vma cachingDavidlohr Bueso2-4/+17
This patch is a continuation of efforts trying to optimize find_vma(), avoiding potentially expensive rbtree walks to locate a vma upon faults. The original approach (https://lkml.org/lkml/2013/11/1/410), where the largest vma was also cached, ended up being too specific and random, thus further comparison with other approaches were needed. There are two things to consider when dealing with this, the cache hit rate and the latency of find_vma(). Improving the hit-rate does not necessarily translate in finding the vma any faster, as the overhead of any fancy caching schemes can be too high to consider. We currently cache the last used vma for the whole address space, which provides a nice optimization, reducing the total cycles in find_vma() by up to 250%, for workloads with good locality. On the other hand, this simple scheme is pretty much useless for workloads with poor locality. Analyzing ebizzy runs shows that, no matter how many threads are running, the mmap_cache hit rate is less than 2%, and in many situations below 1%. The proposed approach is to replace this scheme with a small per-thread cache, maximizing hit rates at a very low maintenance cost. Invalidations are performed by simply bumping up a 32-bit sequence number. The only expensive operation is in the rare case of a seq number overflow, where all caches that share the same address space are flushed. Upon a miss, the proposed replacement policy is based on the page number that contains the virtual address in question. Concretely, the following results are seen on an 80 core, 8 socket x86-64 box: 1) System bootup: Most programs are single threaded, so the per-thread scheme does improve ~50% hit rate by just adding a few more slots to the cache. +----------------+----------+------------------+ | caching scheme | hit-rate | cycles (billion) | +----------------+----------+------------------+ | baseline | 50.61% | 19.90 | | patched | 73.45% | 13.58 | +----------------+----------+------------------+ 2) Kernel build: This one is already pretty good with the current approach as we're dealing with good locality. +----------------+----------+------------------+ | caching scheme | hit-rate | cycles (billion) | +----------------+----------+------------------+ | baseline | 75.28% | 11.03 | | patched | 88.09% | 9.31 | +----------------+----------+------------------+ 3) Oracle 11g Data Mining (4k pages): Similar to the kernel build workload. +----------------+----------+------------------+ | caching scheme | hit-rate | cycles (billion) | +----------------+----------+------------------+ | baseline | 70.66% | 17.14 | | patched | 91.15% | 12.57 | +----------------+----------+------------------+ 4) Ebizzy: There's a fair amount of variation from run to run, but this approach always shows nearly perfect hit rates, while baseline is just about non-existent. The amounts of cycles can fluctuate between anywhere from ~60 to ~116 for the baseline scheme, but this approach reduces it considerably. For instance, with 80 threads: +----------------+----------+------------------+ | caching scheme | hit-rate | cycles (billion) | +----------------+----------+------------------+ | baseline | 1.06% | 91.54 | | patched | 99.97% | 14.18 | +----------------+----------+------------------+ [akpm@linux-foundation.org: fix nommu build, per Davidlohr] [akpm@linux-foundation.org: document vmacache_valid() logic] [akpm@linux-foundation.org: attempt to untangle header files] [akpm@linux-foundation.org: add vmacache_find() BUG_ON] [hughd@google.com: add vmacache_valid_mm() (from Oleg)] [akpm@linux-foundation.org: coding-style fixes] [akpm@linux-foundation.org: adjust and enhance comments] Signed-off-by: Davidlohr Bueso <davidlohr@hp.com> Reviewed-by: Rik van Riel <riel@redhat.com> Acked-by: Linus Torvalds <torvalds@linux-foundation.org> Reviewed-by: Michel Lespinasse <walken@google.com> Cc: Oleg Nesterov <oleg@redhat.com> Tested-by: Hugh Dickins <hughd@google.com> Signed-off-by: Andrew Morton <akpm@linux-foundation.org> Signed-off-by: Linus Torvalds <torvalds@linux-foundation.org>
