2013-11-13kthread: make kthread_create() killableTetsuo Handa1-18/+55
Any user process callers of wait_for_completion() except global init process might be chosen by the OOM killer while waiting for completion() call by some other process which does memory allocation. See CVE-2012-4398 "kernel: request_module() OOM local DoS" can happen. When such users are chosen by the OOM killer when they are waiting for completion() in TASK_UNINTERRUPTIBLE, the system will be kept stressed due to memory starvation because the OOM killer cannot kill such users. kthread_create() is one of such users and this patch fixes the problem for kthreadd by making kthread_create() killable - the same approach used for fixing CVE-2012-4398.

git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/tip/tip Pull perf updates from Ingo Molnar: "As a first remark I'd like to note that the way to build perf tooling has been simplified and sped up, in the future it should be enough for you to build perf via: cd tools/perf/ make install (ie without the -j option.) The build system will figure out the number of CPUs and will do a parallel build+install. The various build system inefficiencies and breakages Linus reported against the v3.12 pull request should now be resolved - please (re-)report any remaining annoyances or bugs. Main changes on the perf kernel side: * Performance optimizations: . perf ring-buffer code optimizations, by Peter Zijlstra . perf ring-buffer code optimizations, by Oleg Nesterov . x86 NMI call-stack processing optimizations, by Peter Zijlstra . perf context-switch optimizations, by Peter Zijlstra . perf sampling speedups, by Peter Zijlstra . x86 Intel PEBS processing speedups, by Peter Zijlstra * Enhanced hardware support: . for Intel Ivy Bridge-EP uncore PMUs, by Zheng Yan . for Haswell transactions, by Andi Kleen, Peter Zijlstra * Core perf events code enhancements and fixes by Oleg Nesterov: . for uprobes, if fork() is called with pending ret-probes . for uprobes platform support code * New ABI details by Andi Kleen: .

There is a race between stop_two_cpus, and the global stop_cpus. It is possible for two CPUs to get their stopper functions queued "backwards" from one another, resulting in the stopper threads getting stuck, and the system hanging. This can happen because queuing up stoppers is not synchronized. This patch adds synchronization between stop_cpus (a rare operation), and stop_two_cpus.

2013-11-09uprobes: Fix the memory out of bound overwrite in copy_insn()Oleg Nesterov1-22/+21
1. copy_insn() doesn't look very nice, all calculations are confusing and it is not immediately clear why do we read the 2nd page first. 2. The usage of inode->i_size is wrong on 32-bit machines. 3. "Instruction at end of binary" logic is simply wrong, it doesn't handle the case when uprobe->offset > inode->i_size. In this case "bytes" overflows, and __copy_insn() writes to the memory outside of uprobe->arch.insn. Yes, uprobe_register() checks i_size_read(), but this file can be truncated after that. All i_size checks are racy, we do this only to catch the obvious mistakes. Change copy_insn() to call __copy_insn() in a loop, simplify and fix the bytes/nbytes calculations. Note: we do not care if we read extra bytes after inode->i_size if we got the valid page. This is fine because the task gets the same page after page-fault, and arch_uprobe_analyze_insn() can't know how many bytes were actually read anyway. Signed-off-by: Oleg Nesterov <oleg@redhat.com>

Even with this bug dup_xol_work() works "in practice", but only because get_unmapped_area(NULL, TASK_SIZE - PAGE_SIZE) likely returns the same address every time.

When I was able to reproduce it with trinity, I was able to track down exactly how it happened. I discovered that the check for whether the function tracepoint should be activated or not was using the "perf_paranoid_kernel()" check which by default, lets the user continue.

2013-11-06perf/ftrace: Fix paranoid level for enabling function tracerSteven Rostedt1-1/+1
The current default perf paranoid level is "1" which has "perf_paranoid_kernel()" return false, and giving any operations that use it, access to normal users.

set_swbp() and set_orig_insn() are __weak, but this is pointless because write_opcode() is static.

2013-11-06uprobes: Introduce arch_uprobe->ixolOleg Nesterov1-1/+2
Currently xol_get_insn_slot() assumes that we should simply copy arch_uprobe->insn[] which is (ignoring arch_uprobe_analyze_insn) just the copy of the original insn. This is not true for arm which needs to create another insn to execute it out-of-line. So this patch simply adds the new member, ->ixol into the union. This doesn't make any difference for x86 and powerpc, but arm can divorce insn/ixol and initialize the correct xol insn in arch_uprobe_analyze_insn(). Signed-off-by: Oleg Nesterov <oleg@redhat.com>

2013-11-06sched: Remove unnecessary iteration over sched domains to update nr_busy_cpusPreeti U Murthy3-18/+28
nr_busy_cpus parameter is used by nohz_kick_needed() to find out the number of busy cpus in a sched domain which has SD_SHARE_PKG_RESOURCES flag set. Therefore instead of updating nr_busy_cpus at every level of sched domain, since it is irrelevant, we can update this parameter only at the parent domain of the sd which has this flag set. Introduce a per-cpu parameter sd_busy which represents this parent domain. In nohz_kick_needed() we directly query the nr_busy_cpus parameter associated with the groups of sd_busy. By associating sd_busy with the highest domain which has SD_SHARE_PKG_RESOURCES flag set, we cover all lower level domains which could have this flag set and trigger nohz_idle_balancing if any of the levels have more than one busy cpu. sd_busy is irrelevant for asymmetric load balancing. However sd_asym has been introduced to represent the highest sched domain which has SD_ASYM_PACKING flag set so that it can be queried directly when required. While we are at it, we might as well change the nohz_idle parameter to be updated at the sd_busy domain level alone and not the base domain level of a CPU. This will unify the concept of busy cpus at just one level of sched domain where it is currently used.

2013-11-06sched: Fix asymmetric scheduling for POWER7Vaidyanathan Srinivasan1-1/+1
Asymmetric scheduling within a core is a scheduler loadbalancing feature that is triggered when SD_ASYM_PACKING flag is set. The goal for the load balancer is to move tasks to lower order idle SMT threads within a core on a POWER7 system. In nohz_kick_needed(), we intend to check if our sched domain (core) is completely busy or we have idle cpu. The following check for SD_ASYM_PACKING: (cpumask_first_and(nohz.idle_cpus_mask, sched_domain_span(sd)) < cpu) already covers the case of checking if the domain has an idle cpu, because cpumask_first_and() will not yield any set bits if this domain has no idle cpu. Hence, nr_busy check against group weight can be removed.

2013-10-29uprobes: Teach uprobe_copy_process() to handle CLONE_VFORKOleg Nesterov2-3/+9
uprobe_copy_process() does nothing if the child shares ->mm with the forking process, but there is a special case: CLONE_VFORK. In this case it would be more correct to do dup_utask() but avoid dup_xol(). This is not that important, the child should not unwind its stack too much, this can corrupt the parent's stack, but at least we need this to allow to ret-probe __vfork() itself. Note: in theory, it would be better to check task_pt_regs(p)->sp instead of CLONE_VFORK, we need to dup_utask() if and only if the child can return from the function called by the parent. But this needs the arch-dependant helper, and I think that nobody actually does clone(same_stack, CLONE_VM).

2013-10-29uprobes: Change uprobe_copy_process() to dup xol_areaOleg Nesterov1-0/+28
This finally fixes the serious bug in uretprobes: a forked child crashes if the parent called fork() with the pending ret probe. Trivial test-case: # perf probe -x /lib/libc.so.6 __fork%return # perf record -e probe_libc:__fork perl -le 'fork || print "OK"' (the child doesn't print "OK", it is killed by SIGSEGV) If the child returns from the probed function it actually returns to trampoline_vaddr, because it got the copy of parent's stack mangled by prepare_uretprobe() when the parent entered this func. It crashes because a) this address is not mapped and b) until the previous change it doesn't have the proper->return_instances info. This means that uprobe_copy_process() has to create xol_area which has the trampoline slot, and its vaddr should be equal to parent's xol_area->vaddr. Unfortunately, uprobe_copy_process() can not simply do __create_xol_area(child, xol_area->vaddr). This could actually work but perf_event_mmap() doesn't expect the usage of foreign ->mm. So we offload this to task_work_run(), and pass the argument via not yet used utask->vaddr. We know that this vaddr is fine for install_special_mapping(), the necessary hole was recently "created" by dup_mmap() which skips the parent's VM_DONTCOPY area, and nobody else could use the new mm. Unfortunately, this also means that we can not handle the errors properly, we obviously can not abort the already completed fork(). So we simply print the warning if GFP_KERNEL allocation (the only possible reason) fails.

uprobe_copy_process() assumes that the new child doesn't need ->utask, it should be allocated by demand. But this is not true if the forking task has the pending ret- probes, the child should report them as well and thus it needs the copy of parent's ->return_instances chain. Otherwise the child crashes when it returns from the probed function. Alternatively we could cleanup the child's stack, but this needs per-arch changes and this is not what we want. At least systemtap expects a .return in the child too. Note: this change alone doesn't fix the problem, see the next change.

We do not care if copy_process() fails, uprobe_free_utask() won't be called in this case so the wrong ->utask != NULL doesn't matter. OTOH, with this change we know that copy_process() can't fail when uprobe_copy_process() is called, the new task should either return to user-mode or call do_exit(). This way uprobe_copy_process() can: 1. setup p->utask != NULL if necessary 2. setup uprobes_state.xol_area 3. use task_work_add(p) Also, move the definition of uprobe_copy_process() down so that it can see get_utask().

2013-10-29sched: Avoid throttle_cfs_rq() racing with period_timer stoppingBen Segall2-0/+10
throttle_cfs_rq() doesn't check to make sure that period_timer is running, and while update_curr/assign_cfs_runtime does, a concurrently running period_timer on another cpu could cancel itself between this cpu's update_curr and throttle_cfs_rq(). If there are no other cfs_rqs running in the tg to restart the timer, this causes the cfs_rq to be stranded forever. Fix this by calling __start_cfs_bandwidth() in throttle if the timer is inactive. (Also add some sched_debug lines for cfs_bandwidth.) Tested: make a run/sleep task in a cgroup, loop switching the cgroup between 1ms/100ms quota and unlimited, checking for timer_active=0 and throttled=1 as a failure.

( Let g[x] denote the se for "g" on cpu "x". ) Suppose that we have root->a and that a enters a throttled state, immediately followed by a[0]->t1 (the only task running on cpu[0]) blocking: put_prev_task(group_cfs_rq(a[0]), t1) put_prev_entity(..., t1) check_cfs_rq_runtime(group_cfs_rq(a[0])) throttle_cfs_rq(group_cfs_rq(a[0])) Then, before unthrottling occurs, let a[0]->b[0]->t2 wake for the first time: enqueue_task_fair(rq[0], t2) enqueue_entity(group_cfs_rq(b[0]), t2) enqueue_entity_load_avg(group_cfs_rq(b[0]), t2) account_entity_enqueue(group_cfs_ra(b[0]), t2) update_cfs_shares(group_cfs_rq(b[0])) < skipped because b is part of a throttled hierarchy > enqueue_entity(group_cfs_rq(a[0]), b[0]) ... We now have b[0] enqueued, yet group_cfs_rq(a[0])->load.weight == 0 which violates invariants in several code-paths. Eliminate the possibility of this by initializing group entity weight.

2013-10-29sched: Fix hrtimer_cancel()/rq->lock deadlockBen Segall1-4/+11
__start_cfs_bandwidth calls hrtimer_cancel while holding rq->lock, waiting for the hrtimer to finish. However, if sched_cfs_period_timer runs for another loop iteration, the hrtimer can attempt to take rq->lock, resulting in deadlock. Fix this by ensuring that cfs_b->timer_active is cleared only if the _latest_ call to do_sched_cfs_period_timer is returning as idle. Then __start_cfs_bandwidth can just call hrtimer_try_to_cancel and wait for that to succeed or timer_active == 1.
