kthread: Don't allocate kthread_struct for init and umh

2022-06-09T08:29:30+00:00

commit 343f4c49f2438d8920f1f76fa823ee59b91f02e4 upstream. If kthread_is_per_cpu runs concurrently with free_kthread_struct the kthread_struct that was just freed may be read from. This bug was introduced by commit 40966e316f86 ("kthread: Ensure struct kthread is present for all kthreads"). When kthread_struct started to be allocated for all tasks that have PF_KTHREAD set. This in turn required the kthread_struct to be freed in kernel_execve and violated the assumption that kthread_struct will have the same lifetime as the task. Looking a bit deeper this only applies to callers of kernel_execve which is just the init process and the user mode helper processes. These processes really don't want to be kernel threads but are for historical reasons. Mostly that copy_thread does not know how to take a kernel mode function to the process with for processes without PF_KTHREAD or PF_IO_WORKER set. Solve this by not allocating kthread_struct for the init process and the user mode helper processes. This is done by adding a kthread member to struct kernel_clone_args. Setting kthread in fork_idle and kernel_thread. Adding user_mode_thread that works like kernel_thread except it does not set kthread. In fork only allocating the kthread_struct if .kthread is set. I have looked at kernel/kthread.c and since commit 40966e316f86 ("kthread: Ensure struct kthread is present for all kthreads") there have been no assumptions added that to_kthread or __to_kthread will not return NULL. There are a few callers of to_kthread or __to_kthread that assume a non-NULL struct kthread pointer will be returned. These functions are kthread_data(), kthread_parmme(), kthread_exit(), kthread(), kthread_park(), kthread_unpark(), kthread_stop(). All of those functions can reasonably expected to be called when it is know that a task is a kthread so that assumption seems reasonable.

random: handle latent entropy and command line from random_init()

2022-05-30T07:24:07+00:00

commit 2f14062bb14b0fcfcc21e6dc7d5b5c0d25966164 upstream. Currently, start_kernel() adds latent entropy and the command line to the entropy bool *after* the RNG has been initialized, deferring when it's actually used by things like stack canaries until the next time the pool is seeded. This surely is not intended. Rather than splitting up which entropy gets added where and when between start_kernel() and random_init(), just do everything in random_init(), which should eliminate these kinds of bugs in the future. While we're at it, rename the awkwardly titled "rand_initialize()" to the more standard "random_init()" nomenclature. Reviewed-by: Dominik Brodowski Signed-off-by: Jason A.

init: call time_init() before rand_initialize()

2022-05-30T07:24:04+00:00

commit fe222a6ca2d53c38433cba5d3be62a39099e708e upstream. Currently time_init() is called after rand_initialize(), but rand_initialize() makes use of the timer on various platforms, and sometimes this timer needs to be initialized by time_init() first. In order for random_get_entropy() to not return zero during early boot when it's potentially used as an entropy source, reverse the order of these two calls. The block doing random initialization was right before time_init() before, so changing the order shouldn't have any complicated effects.

Pull networking updates from Jakub Kicinski: "The sprinkling of SPI drivers is because we added a new one and Mark sent us a SPI driver interface conversion pull request. Core ---- - Introduce XDP multi-buffer support, allowing the use of XDP with jumbo frame MTUs and combination with Rx coalescing offloads (LRO). - Speed up netns dismantling (5x) and lower the memory cost a little. Remove unnecessary per-netns sockets. Scope some lists to a netns. Cut down RCU syncing. Use batch methods. Allow netdev registration to complete out of order. - Support distinguishing timestamp types (ingress vs egress) and maintaining them across packet scrubbing points (e.g. redirect). - Continue the work of annotating packet drop reasons throughout the stack. - Switch netdev error counters from an atomic to dynamically allocated per-CPU counters. - Rework a few preempt_disable(), local_irq_save() and busy waiting sections problematic on PREEMPT_RT. - Extend the ref_tracker to allow catching use-after-free bugs. BPF --- - Introduce "packing allocator" for BPF JIT images. JITed code is marked read only, and used to be allocated at page granularity. Custom allocator allows for more efficient memory use, lower iTLB pressure and prevents identity mapping huge pages from getting split. - Make use of BTF type annotations (e.g. __user, __percpu) to enforce the correct probe read access method, add appropriate helpers. - Convert the BPF preload to use light skeleton and drop the user-mode-driver dependency. - Allow XDP BPF_PROG_RUN test infra to send real packets, enabling its use as a packet generator. - Allow local storage memory to be allocated with GFP_KERNEL if called from a hook allowed to sleep. - Introduce fprobe (multi kprobe) to speed up mass attachment (arch bits to come later). - Add unstable conntrack lookup helpers for BPF by using the BPF kfunc infra. - Allow cgroup BPF progs to return custom errors to user space. - Add support for AF_UNIX iterator batching. - Allow iterator programs to use sleepable helpers. - Support JIT of add, and, or, xor and xchg atomic ops on arm64. - Add BTFGen support to bpftool which allows to use CO-RE in kernels without BTF info. - Large number of libbpf API improvements, cleanups and deprecations. Protocols --------- - Micro-optimize UDPv6 Tx, gaining up to 5% in test on dummy netdev. - Adjust TSO packet sizes based on min_rtt, allowing very low latency links (data centers) to always send full-sized TSO super-frames. - Make IPv6 flow label changes (AKA hash rethink) more configurable, via sysctl and setsockopt. Distinguish between server and client behavior. - VxLAN support to "collect metadata" devices to terminate only configured VNIs. This is similar to VLAN filtering in the bridge. - Support inserting IPv6 IOAM information to a fraction of frames. - Add protocol attribute to IP addresses to allow identifying where given address comes from (kernel-generated, DHCP etc.) - Support setting socket and IPv6 options via cmsg on ping6 sockets. - Reject mis-use of ECN bits in IP headers as part of DSCP/TOS. Define dscp_t and stop taking ECN bits into account in fib-rules. - Add support for locked bridge ports (for 802.1X). - tun: support NAPI for packets received from batched XDP buffs, doubling the performance in some scenarios. - IPv6 extension header handling in Open vSwitch. - Support IPv6 control message load balancing in bonding, prevent neighbor solicitation and advertisement from using the wrong port. Support NS/NA monitor selection similar to existing ARP monitor. - SMC - improve performance with TCP_CORK and sendfile() - support auto-corking - support TCP_NODELAY - MCTP (Management Component Transport Protocol) - add user space tag control interface - I2C binding driver (as specified by DMTF DSP0237) - Multi-BSSID beacon handling in AP mode for WiFi. - Bluetooth: - handle MSFT Monitor Device Event - add MGMT Adv Monitor Device Found/Lost events - Multi-Path TCP: - add support for the SO_SNDTIMEO socket option - lots of selftest cleanups and improvements - Increase the max PDU size in CAN ISOTP to 64 kB. Driver API ---------- - Add HW counters for SW netdevs, a mechanism for devices which offload packet forwarding to report packet statistics back to software interfaces such as tunnels. - Select the default NIC queue count as a fraction of number of physical CPU cores, instead of hard-coding to 8. - Expose devlink instance locks to drivers. Allow device layer of drivers to use that lock directly instead of creating their own which always runs into ordering issues in devlink callbacks. - Add header/data split indication to guide user space enabling of TCP zero-copy Rx. - Allow configuring completion queue event size. - Refactor page_pool to enable fragmenting after allocation. - Add allocation and page reuse statistics to page_pool. - Improve Multiple Spanning Trees support in the bridge to allow reuse of topologies across VLANs, saving HW resources in switches. - DSA (Distributed Switch Architecture): - replay and offload of host VLAN entries - offload of static and local FDB entries on LAG interfaces - FDB isolation and unicast filtering New hardware / drivers ---------------------- - Ethernet: - LAN937x T1 PHYs - Davicom DM9051 SPI NIC driver - Realtek RTL8367S, RTL8367RB-VB switch and MDIO - Microchip ksz8563 switches - Netronome NFP3800 SmartNICs - Fungible SmartNICs - MediaTek MT8195 switches - WiFi: - mt76: MediaTek mt7916 - mt76: MediaTek mt7921u USB adapters - brcmfmac: Broadcom BCM43454/6 - Mobile: - iosm: Intel M.2 7360 WWAN card Drivers ------- - Convert many drivers to the new phylink API built for split PCS designs but also simplifying other cases. - Intel Ethernet NICs: - add TTY for GNSS module for E810T device - improve AF_XDP performance - GTP-C and GTP-U filter offload - QinQ VLAN support - Mellanox Ethernet NICs (mlx5): - support xdp->data_meta - multi-buffer XDP - offload tc push_eth and pop_eth actions - Netronome Ethernet NICs (nfp): - flow-independent tc action hardware offload (police / meter) - AF_XDP - Other Ethernet NICs: - at803x: fiber and SFP support - xgmac: mdio: preamble suppression and custom MDC frequencies - r8169: enable ASPM L1.2 if system vendor flags it as safe - macb/gem: ZynqMP SGMII - hns3: add TX push mode - dpaa2-eth: software TSO - lan743x: multi-queue, mdio, SGMII, PTP - axienet: NAPI and GRO support - Mellanox Ethernet switches (mlxsw): - source and dest IP address rewrites - RJ45 ports - Marvell Ethernet switches (prestera): - basic routing offload - multi-chain TC ACL offload - NXP embedded Ethernet switches (ocelot & felix): - PTP over UDP with the ocelot-8021q DSA tagging protocol - basic QoS classification on Felix DSA switch using dcbnl - port mirroring for ocelot switches - Microchip high-speed industrial Ethernet (sparx5): - offloading of bridge port flooding flags - PTP Hardware Clock - Other embedded switches: - lan966x: PTP Hardward Clock - qca8k: mdio read/write operations via crafted Ethernet packets - Qualcomm 802.11ax WiFi (ath11k): - add LDPC FEC type and 802.11ax High Efficiency data in radiotap - enable RX PPDU stats in monitor co-exist mode - Intel WiFi (iwlwifi): - UHB TAS enablement via BIOS - band disablement via BIOS - channel switch offload - 32 Rx AMPDU sessions in newer devices - MediaTek WiFi (mt76): - background radar detection - thermal management improvements on mt7915 - SAR support for more mt76 platforms - MBSSID and 6 GHz band on mt7915 - RealTek WiFi: - rtw89: AP mode - rtw89: 160 MHz channels and 6 GHz band - rtw89: hardware scan - Bluetooth: - mt7921s: wake on Bluetooth, SCO over I2S, wide-band-speed (WBS) - Microchip CAN (mcp251xfd): - multiple RX-FIFOs and runtime configurable RX/TX rings - internal PLL, runtime PM handling simplification - improve chip detection and error handling after wakeup" * tag 'net-next-5.18' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/netdev/net-next: (2521 commits) llc: fix netdevice reference leaks in llc_ui_bind() drivers: ethernet: cpsw: fix panic when interrupt coaleceing is set via ethtool ice: don't allow to run ice_send_event_to_aux() in atomic ctx ice: fix 'scheduling while atomic' on aux critical err interrupt net/sched: fix incorrect vlan_push_eth dest field net: bridge: mst: Restrict info size queries to bridge ports net: marvell: prestera: add missing destroy_workqueue() in prestera_module_init() drivers: net: xgene: Fix regression in CRC stripping net: geneve: add missing netlink policy and size for IFLA_GENEVE_INNER_PROTO_INHERIT net: dsa: fix missing host-filtered multicast addresses net/mlx5e: Fix build warning, detected write beyond size of field iwlwifi: mvm: Don't fail if PPAG isn't supported selftests/bpf: Fix kprobe_multi test.

stack: Introduce CONFIG_RANDOMIZE_KSTACK_OFFSET

2022-02-14T19:07:12+00:00

The randomize_kstack_offset feature is unconditionally compiled in when the architecture supports it. To add constraints on compiler versions, we require a dedicated Kconfig variable. Therefore, introduce RANDOMIZE_KSTACK_OFFSET. Furthermore, this option is now also configurable by EXPERT kernels: while the feature is supposed to have zero performance overhead when disabled, due to its use of static branches, there are few cases where giving a distribution the option to disable the feature entirely makes sense. For example, in very resource constrained environments, which would never enable the feature to begin with, in which case the additional kernel code size increase would be redundant.

net: initialize init_net earlier

2022-02-06T11:04:29+00:00

While testing a patch that will follow later ("net: add netns refcount tracker to struct nsproxy") I found that devtmpfs_init() was called before init_net was initialized. This is a bug, because devtmpfs_setup() calls ksys_unshare(CLONE_NEWNS); This has the effect of increasing init_net refcount, which will be later overwritten to 1, as part of setup_net(&init_net) We had too many prior patches [1] trying to work around the root cause. Really, make sure init_net is in BSS section, and that net_ns_init() is called earlier at boot time. Note that another patch ("vfs: add netns refcount tracker to struct fs_context") also will need net_ns_init() being called before vfs_caches_init() As a bonus, this patch saves around 4KB in .data section.

lib/stackdepot: allow optional init and stack_table allocation by kvmalloc()

2022-01-22T06:33:37+00:00

Currently, enabling CONFIG_STACKDEPOT means its stack_table will be allocated from memblock, even if stack depot ends up not actually used. The default size of stack_table is 4MB on 32-bit, 8MB on 64-bit. This is fine for use-cases such as KASAN which is also a config option and has overhead on its own. But it's an issue for functionality that has to be actually enabled on boot (page_owner) or depends on hardware (GPU drivers) and thus the memory might be wasted. This was raised as an issue [1] when attempting to add stackdepot support for SLUB's debug object tracking functionality. It's common to build kernels with CONFIG_SLUB_DEBUG and enable slub_debug on boot only when needed, or create only specific kmem caches with debugging for testing purposes. It would thus be more efficient if stackdepot's table was allocated only when actually going to be used. This patch thus makes the allocation (and whole stack_depot_init() call) optional: - Add a CONFIG_STACKDEPOT_ALWAYS_INIT flag to keep using the current well-defined point of allocation as part of mem_init(). Make CONFIG_KASAN select this flag. - Other users have to call stack_depot_init() as part of their own init when it's determined that stack depot will actually be used. This may depend on both config and runtime conditions. Convert current users which are page_owner and several in the DRM subsystem. Same will be done for SLUB later. - Because the init might now be called after the boot-time memblock allocation has given all memory to the buddy allocator, change stack_depot_init() to allocate stack_table with kvmalloc() when memblock is no longer available. Also handle allocation failure by disabling stackdepot (could have theoretically happened even with memblock allocation previously), and don't unnecessarily align the memblock allocation to its own size anymore.
