fs/proc: fix softlockup in __read_vmcore (part 2)

2025-02-01T17:22:29+00:00

commit cbc5dde0a461240046e8a41c43d7c3b76d5db952 upstream. Since commit 5cbcb62dddf5 ("fs/proc: fix softlockup in __read_vmcore") the number of softlockups in __read_vmcore at kdump time have gone down, but they still happen sometimes. In a memory constrained environment like the kdump image, a softlockup is not just a harmless message, but it can interfere with things like RCU freeing memory, causing the crashdump to get stuck. The second loop in __read_vmcore has a lot more opportunities for natural sleep points, like scheduling out while waiting for a data write to happen, but apparently that is not always enough. Add a cond_resched() to the second loop in __read_vmcore to (hopefully) get rid of the softlockups.

fs/proc: fix softlockup in __read_vmcore

2024-07-05T07:12:30+00:00

commit 5cbcb62dddf5346077feb82b7b0c9254222d3445 upstream. While taking a kernel core dump with makedumpfile on a larger system, softlockup messages often appear. While softlockup warnings can be harmless, they can also interfere with things like RCU freeing memory, which can be problematic when the kdump kexec image is configured with as little memory as possible. Avoid the softlockup, and give things like work items and RCU a chance to do their thing during __read_vmcore by adding a cond_resched.

proc/vmcore: fix clearing user buffer by properly using clear_user()

2021-12-01T08:19:02+00:00

commit c1e63117711977cc4295b2ce73de29dd17066c82 upstream. To clear a user buffer we cannot simply use memset, we have to use clear_user(). With a virtio-mem device that registers a vmcore_cb and has some logically unplugged memory inside an added Linux memory block, I can easily trigger a BUG by copying the vmcore via "cp": systemd[1]: Starting Kdump Vmcore Save Service... kdump[420]: Kdump is using the default log level(3). kdump[453]: saving to /sysroot/var/crash/127.0.0.1-2021-11-11-14:59:22/ kdump[458]: saving vmcore-dmesg.txt to /sysroot/var/crash/127.0.0.1-2021-11-11-14:59:22/ kdump[465]: saving vmcore-dmesg.txt complete kdump[467]: saving vmcore BUG: unable to handle page fault for address: 00007f2374e01000 #PF: supervisor write access in kernel mode #PF: error_code(0x0003) - permissions violation PGD 7a523067 P4D 7a523067 PUD 7a528067 PMD 7a525067 PTE 800000007048f867 Oops: 0003 [#1] PREEMPT SMP NOPTI CPU: 0 PID: 468 Comm: cp Not tainted 5.15.0+ #6 Hardware name: QEMU Standard PC (Q35 + ICH9, 2009), BIOS rel-1.14.0-27-g64f37cc530f1-prebuilt.qemu.org 04/01/2014 RIP: 0010:read_from_oldmem.part.0.cold+0x1d/0x86 Code: ff ff ff e8 05 ff fe ff e9 b9 e9 7f ff 48 89 de 48 c7 c7 38 3b 60 82 e8 f1 fe fe ff 83 fd 08 72 3c 49 8d 7d 08 4c 89 e9 89 e8 <49> c7 45 00 00 00 00 00 49 c7 44 05 f8 00 00 00 00 48 83 e7 f81 RSP: 0018:ffffc9000073be08 EFLAGS: 00010212 RAX: 0000000000001000 RBX: 00000000002fd000 RCX: 00007f2374e01000 RDX: 0000000000000001 RSI: 00000000ffffdfff RDI: 00007f2374e01008 RBP: 0000000000001000 R08: 0000000000000000 R09: ffffc9000073bc50 R10: ffffc9000073bc48 R11: ffffffff829461a8 R12: 000000000000f000 R13: 00007f2374e01000 R14: 0000000000000000 R15: ffff88807bd421e8 FS: 00007f2374e12140(0000) GS:ffff88807f000000(0000) knlGS:0000000000000000 CS: 0010 DS: 0000 ES: 0000 CR0: 0000000080050033 CR2: 00007f2374e01000 CR3: 000000007a4aa000 CR4: 0000000000350eb0 Call Trace: read_vmcore+0x236/0x2c0 proc_reg_read+0x55/0xa0 vfs_read+0x95/0x190 ksys_read+0x4f/0xc0 do_syscall_64+0x3b/0x90 entry_SYSCALL_64_after_hwframe+0x44/0xae Some x86-64 CPUs have a CPU feature called "Supervisor Mode Access Prevention (SMAP)", which is used to detect wrong access from the kernel to user buffers like this: SMAP triggers a permissions violation on wrong access. In the x86-64 variant of clear_user(), SMAP is properly handled via clac()+stac(). To fix, properly use clear_user() when we're dealing with a user buffer.

mm: don't include asm/pgtable.h if linux/mm.h is already included

2020-06-09T16:39:13+00:00

Patch series "mm: consolidate definitions of page table accessors", v2. The low level page table accessors (pXY_index(), pXY_offset()) are duplicated across all architectures and sometimes more than once. For instance, we have 31 definition of pgd_offset() for 25 supported architectures. Most of these definitions are actually identical and typically it boils down to, e.g. static inline unsigned long pmd_index(unsigned long address) { return (address >> PMD_SHIFT) & (PTRS_PER_PMD - 1); } static inline pmd_t *pmd_offset(pud_t *pud, unsigned long address) { return (pmd_t *)pud_page_vaddr(*pud) + pmd_index(address); } These definitions can be shared among 90% of the arches provided XYZ_SHIFT, PTRS_PER_XYZ and xyz_page_vaddr() are defined. For architectures that really need a custom version there is always possibility to override the generic version with the usual ifdefs magic. These patches introduce include/linux/pgtable.h that replaces include/asm-generic/pgtable.h and add the definitions of the page table accessors to the new header. This patch (of 12): The linux/mm.h header includes to allow inlining of the functions involving page table manipulations, e.g. pte_alloc() and pmd_alloc(). So, there is no point to explicitly include in the files that include . The include statements in such cases are remove with a simple loop: for f in $(git grep -l "include ") ; do sed -i -e '/include / d' $f done Signed-off-by: Mike Rapoport Signed-off-by: Andrew Morton Cc: Arnd Bergmann Cc: Borislav Petkov Cc: Brian Cain Cc: Catalin Marinas Cc: Chris Zankel Cc: "David S.

fs/core/vmcore: Move sev_active() reference to x86 arch code

2019-08-09T12:52:10+00:00

Secure Encrypted Virtualization is an x86-specific feature, so it shouldn't appear in generic kernel code because it forces non-x86 architectures to define the sev_active() function, which doesn't make a lot of sense. To solve this problem, add an x86 elfcorehdr_read() function to override the generic weak implementation. To do that, it's necessary to make read_from_oldmem() public so that it can be used outside of vmcore.c. Also, remove the export for sev_active() since it's only used in files that won't be built as modules.

vmcore: add a kernel parameter novmcoredd

2019-07-17T02:23:21+00:00

Since commit 2724273e8fd0 ("vmcore: add API to collect hardware dump in second kernel"), drivers are allowed to add device related dump data to vmcore as they want by using the device dump API. This has a potential issue, the data is stored in memory, drivers may append too much data and use too much memory. The vmcore is typically used in a kdump kernel which runs in a pre-reserved small chunk of memory. So as a result it will make kdump unusable at all due to OOM issues. So introduce new 'novmcoredd' command line option. User can disable device dump to reduce memory usage. This is helpful if device dump is using too much memory, disabling device dump could make sure a regular vmcore without device dump data is still available.

fs/proc/vmcore: Enable dumping of encrypted memory when SEV was active

2019-06-20T08:07:49+00:00

In the kdump kernel, the memory of the first kernel gets to be dumped into a vmcore file. Similarly to SME kdump, if SEV was enabled in the first kernel, the old memory has to be remapped encrypted in order to access it properly. Commit 992b649a3f01 ("kdump, proc/vmcore: Enable kdumping encrypted memory with SME enabled") took care of the SME case but it uses sme_active() which checks for SME only. Use mem_encrypt_active() instead, which returns true when either SME or SEV is active. Unlike SME, the second kernel images (kernel and initrd) are loaded into encrypted memory when SEV is active, hence the kernel elf header must be remapped as encrypted in order to access it properly.
