init: rename and re-order boot_cpu_state_init()

2018-08-12T19:19:42+00:00

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.

init: fix false positives in W+X checking

2018-05-12T00:28:45+00:00

load_module() creates W+X mappings via __vmalloc_node_range() (from layout_and_allocate()->move_module()->module_alloc()) by using PAGE_KERNEL_EXEC. These mappings are later cleaned up via "call_rcu_sched(&freeinit->rcu, do_free_init)" from do_init_module(). This is a problem because call_rcu_sched() queues work, which can be run after debug_checkwx() is run, resulting in a race condition. If hit, the race results in a nasty splat about insecure W+X mappings, which results in a poor user experience as these are not the mappings that debug_checkwx() is intended to catch. This issue is observed on multiple arm64 platforms, and has been artificially triggered on an x86 platform. Address the race by flushing the queued work before running the arch-defined mark_rodata_ro() which then calls debug_checkwx().

So "struct uts_namespace" can enjoy fine-grained SLAB debugging and usercopy protection. I'd prefer shorter name "utsns" but there is "user_namespace" already.

init, tracing: Have printk come through the trace events for initcall_debug

2018-04-06T12:56:55+00:00

With trace events set before and after the initcall function calls, instead of having a separate routine for printing out the initcalls when initcall_debug is specified on the kernel command line, have the code register a callback to the tracepoints where the initcall trace events are. This removes the need for having a separate function to do the initcalls as the tracepoint callbacks can handle the printk. It also includes other initcalls that are not called by the do_one_initcall() which includes console and security initcalls. Signed-off-by: Steven Rostedt (VMware)

init, tracing: Add initcall trace events

2018-04-06T12:56:54+00:00

Being able to trace the start and stop of initcalls is useful to see where the timings are an issue. There is already an "initcall_debug" parameter, but that can cause a large overhead itself, as the printing of the information may take longer than the initcall functions. Adding in a start and finish trace event around the initcall functions, as well as a trace event that records the level of the initcalls, one can get a much finer measurement of the times and interactions of the initcalls themselves, as trace events are much lighter than printk()s.
