dyndbg: make dyndbg a known cli param

2021-11-18T18:16:52+00:00

[ Upstream commit 5ca173974888368fecfb17ae6fe455df5fd2a9d2 ] Right now dyndbg shows up as an unknown parameter if used on boot: Unknown command line parameters: dyndbg=+p That's because it is unknown, it doesn't sit in the __param section, so the processing done to warn users supplying an unknown parameter doesn't think it is legitimate. Install a dummy handler to register it. dynamic debug needs to search the whole command line for modules listed that are currently builtin, so there's no real work to be done in this callback.

bpf/tests: Fix error in tail call limit tests

2021-11-18T18:16:26+00:00

[ Upstream commit 18935a72eb25525b655262579e1652362a3b29bb ] This patch fixes an error in the tail call limit test that caused the test to fail on for x86-64 JIT. Previously, the register R0 was used to report the total number of tail calls made. However, after a tail call fall-through, the value of the R0 register is undefined. Now, all tail call error path tests instead use context state to store the count.

lib/xz: Validate the value before assigning it to an enum variable

2021-11-18T18:16:17+00:00

[ Upstream commit 4f8d7abaa413c34da9d751289849dbfb7c977d05 ] This might matter, for example, if the underlying type of enum xz_check was a signed char. In such a case the validation wouldn't have caught an unsupported header. I don't know if this problem can occur in the kernel on any arch but it's still good to fix it because some people might copy the XZ code to their own projects from Linux instead of the upstream XZ Embedded repository. This change may increase the code size by a few bytes. An alternative would have been to use an unsigned int instead of enum xz_check but using an enumeration looks cleaner.

lib/xz: Avoid overlapping memcpy() with invalid input with in-place decompression

2021-11-18T18:16:17+00:00

[ Upstream commit 83d3c4f22a36d005b55f44628f46cc0d319a75e8 ] With valid files, the safety margin described in lib/decompress_unxz.c ensures that these buffers cannot overlap. But if the uncompressed size of the input is larger than the caller thought, which is possible when the input file is invalid/corrupt, the buffers can overlap. Obviously the result will then be garbage (and usually the decoder will return an error too) but no other harm will happen when such an over-run occurs. This change only affects uncompressed LZMA2 chunks and so this should have no effect on performance.

iov_iter: Fix iov_iter_get_pages{,_alloc} page fault return value

2021-11-18T18:16:15+00:00

[ Upstream commit 814a66741b9ffb5e1ba119e368b178edb0b7322d ] Both iov_iter_get_pages and iov_iter_get_pages_alloc return the number of bytes of the iovec they could get the pages for. When they cannot get any pages, they're supposed to return 0, but when the start of the iovec isn't page aligned, the calculation goes wrong and they return a negative value. Fix both functions. In addition, change iov_iter_get_pages_alloc to return NULL in that case to prevent resource leaks. Signed-off-by: Andreas Gruenbacher Reviewed-by: Christoph Hellwig Signed-off-by: Sasha Levin

kfence: default to dynamic branch instead of static keys mode

2021-11-12T14:05:49+00:00

commit 4f612ed3f748962cbef1316ff3d323e2b9055b6e upstream. We have observed that on very large machines with newer CPUs, the static key/branch switching delay is on the order of milliseconds. This is due to the required broadcast IPIs, which simply does not scale well to hundreds of CPUs (cores). If done too frequently, this can adversely affect tail latencies of various workloads. One workaround is to increase the sample interval to several seconds, while decreasing sampled allocation coverage, but the problem still exists and could still increase tail latencies. As already noted in the Kconfig help text, there are trade-offs: at lower sample intervals the dynamic branch results in better performance; however, at very large sample intervals, the static keys mode can result in better performance -- careful benchmarking is recommended. Our initial benchmarking showed that with large enough sample intervals and workloads stressing the allocator, the static keys mode was slightly better. Evaluating and observing the possible system-wide side-effects of the static-key-switching induced broadcast IPIs, however, was a blind spot (in particular on large machines with 100s of cores). Therefore, a major downside of the static keys mode is, unfortunately, that it is hard to predict performance on new system architectures and topologies, but also making conclusions about performance of new workloads based on a limited set of benchmarks. Most distributions will simply select the defaults, while targeting a large variety of different workloads and system architectures. As such, the better default is CONFIG_KFENCE_STATIC_KEYS=n, and re-enabling it is only recommended after careful evaluation. For reference, on x86-64 the condition in kfence_alloc() generates exactly 2 instructions in the kmem_cache_alloc() fast-path: | ... | cmpl $0x0,0x1a8021c(%rip) # ffffffff82d560d0 | je ffffffff812d6003 | ... which, given kfence_allocation_gate is infrequently modified, should be well predicted by most CPUs.

kunit: fix reference count leak in kfree_at_end

2021-10-01T19:49:38+00:00

The reference counting issue happens in the normal path of kfree_at_end(). When kunit_alloc_and_get_resource() is invoked, the function forgets to handle the returned resource object, whose refcount increased inside, causing a refcount leak. Fix this issue by calling kunit_alloc_resource() instead of kunit_alloc_and_get_resource().
