2016-12-22Merge branch 'x86-cache-for-linus' of ↵Linus Torvalds1-0/+3
git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/tip/tip Pull x86 cache allocation interface from Thomas Gleixner: "This provides support for Intel's Cache Allocation Technology, a cache partitioning mechanism. The interface is odd, but the hardware interface of that CAT stuff is odd as well. We tried hard to come up with an abstraction, but that only allows rather simple partitioning, but no way of sharing and dealing with the per package nature of this mechanism. In the end we decided to expose the allocation bitmaps directly so all combinations of the hardware can be utilized. There are two ways of associating a cache partition: - Task A task can be added to a resource group. It uses the cache partition associated to the group. - CPU All tasks which are not member of a resource group use the group to which the CPU they are running on is associated with. That allows for simple CPU based partitioning schemes. The main expected user sare: - Virtualization so a VM can only trash only the associated part of the cash w/o disturbing others - Real-Time systems to seperate RT and general workloads. - Latency sensitive enterprise workloads - In theory this also can be used to protect against cache side channel attacks" [ Intel RDT is "Resource Director Technology". The interface really is rather odd and very specific, which delayed this pull request while I was thinking about it. The pull request itself came in early during the merge window, I just delayed it until things had calmed down and I had more time. But people tell me they'll use this, and the good news is that it is _so_ specific that it's rather independent of anything else, and no user is going to depend on the interface since it's pretty rare. So if push comes to shove, we can just remove the interface and nothing will break ] * 'x86-cache-for-linus' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/tip/tip: (31 commits) x86/intel_rdt: Implement show_options() for resctrlfs x86/intel_rdt: Call intel_rdt_sched_in() with preemption disabled x86/intel_rdt: Update task closid immediately on CPU in rmdir and unmount x86/intel_rdt: Fix setting of closid when adding CPUs to a group x86/intel_rdt: Update percpu closid immeditately on CPUs affected by changee x86/intel_rdt: Reset per cpu closids on unmount x86/intel_rdt: Select KERNFS when enabling INTEL_RDT_A x86/intel_rdt: Prevent deadlock against hotplug lock x86/intel_rdt: Protect info directory from removal x86/intel_rdt: Add info files to Documentation x86/intel_rdt: Export the minimum number of set mask bits in sysfs x86/intel_rdt: Propagate error in rdt_mount() properly x86/intel_rdt: Add a missing #include MAINTAINERS: Add maintainer for Intel RDT resource allocation x86/intel_rdt: Add scheduler hook x86/intel_rdt: Add schemata file x86/intel_rdt: Add tasks files x86/intel_rdt: Add cpus file x86/intel_rdt: Add mkdir to resctrl file system x86/intel_rdt: Add "info" files to resctrl file system ...

git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/ebiederm/user-namespace Pull namespace updates from Eric Biederman: "After a lot of discussion and work we have finally reachanged a basic understanding of what is necessary to make unprivileged mounts safe in the presence of EVM and IMA xattrs which the last commit in this series reflects. While technically it is a revert the comments it adds are important for people not getting confused in the future. Clearing up that confusion allows us to seriously work on unprivileged mounts of fuse in the next development cycle. The rest of the fixes in this set are in the intersection of user namespaces, ptrace, and exec. I started with the first fix which started a feedback cycle of finding additional issues during review and fixing them. Culiminating in a fix for a bug that has been present since at least Linux v1.0. Potentially these fixes were candidates for being merged during the rc cycle, and are certainly backport candidates but enough little things turned up during review and testing that I decided they should be handled as part of the normal development process just to be certain there were not any great surprises when it came time to backport some of these fixes" * 'for-linus' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/ebiederm/user-namespace: Revert "evm: Translate user/group ids relative to s_user_ns when computing HMAC" exec: Ensure mm->user_ns contains the execed files ptrace: Don't allow accessing an undumpable mm ptrace: Capture the ptracer's creds not PT_PTRACE_CAP mm: Add a user_ns owner to mm_struct and fix ptrace permission checks

2016-12-13prctl: remove one-shot limitation for changing exe linkStanislav Kinsburskiy1-1/+5
This limitation came with the reason to remove "another way for malicious code to obscure a compromised program and masquerade as a benign process" by allowing "security-concious program can use this prctl once during its early initialization to ensure the prctl cannot later be abused for this purpose": http://marc.info/?l=linux-kernel&m=133160684517468&w=2 This explanation doesn't look sufficient. The only thing "exe" link is indicating is the file, used to execve, which is basically nothing and not reliable immediately after process has returned from execve system call. Moreover, to use this feture, all the mappings to previous exe file have to be unmapped and all the new exe file permissions must be satisfied. Which means, that changing exe link is very similar to calling execve on the binary. The need to remove this limitations comes from migration of NFS mount point, which is not accessible during restore and replaced by other file system. Because of this exe link has to be changed twice.

2016-11-29sched/idle: Add support for tasks that inject idlePeter Zijlstra1-1/+2
Idle injection drivers such as Intel powerclamp and ACPI PAD drivers use realtime tasks to take control of CPU then inject idle. There are two issues with this approach: 1. Low efficiency: injected idle task is treated as busy so sched ticks do not stop during injected idle period, the result of these unwanted wakeups can be ~20% loss in power savings. 2. Idle accounting: injected idle time is presented to user as busy. This patch addresses the issues by introducing a new PF_IDLE flag which allows any given task to be treated as idle task while the flag is set. Therefore, idle injection tasks can run through the normal flow of NOHZ idle enter/exit to get the correct accounting as well as tick stop when possible. The implication is that idle task is then no longer limited to PID == 0.

2016-11-24sched: Extend scheduler's asym packingTim Chen1-0/+2
We generalize the scheduler's asym packing to provide an ordering of the cpu beyond just the cpu number. This allows the use of the ASYM_PACKING scheduler machinery to move loads to preferred CPU in a sched domain. The preference is defined with the cpu priority given by arch_asym_cpu_priority(cpu). We also record the most preferred cpu in a sched group when we build the cpu's capacity for fast lookup of preferred cpu during load balancing.

2016-11-22ptrace: Capture the ptracer's creds not PT_PTRACE_CAPEric W. Biederman1-0/+1
When the flag PT_PTRACE_CAP was added the PTRACE_TRACEME path was overlooked. This can result in incorrect behavior when an application like strace traces an exec of a setuid executable. Further PT_PTRACE_CAP does not have enough information for making good security decisions as it does not report which user namespace the capability is in. This has already allowed one mistake through insufficient granulariy. I found this issue when I was testing another corner case of exec and discovered that I could not get strace to set PT_PTRACE_CAP even when running strace as root with a full set of caps. This change fixes the above issue with strace allowing stracing as root a setuid executable without disabling setuid. More fundamentaly this change allows what is allowable at all times, by using the correct information in it's decision.

2016-10-31x86/intel_rdt: Add tasks filesFenghua Yu1-0/+3
The root directory all subdirectories are automatically populated with a read/write (mode 0644) file named "tasks". When read it will show all the task IDs assigned to the resource group. Tasks can be added (one at a time) to a group by writing the task ID to the file. E.g. Membership in a resource group is indicated by a new field in the task_struct "int closid" which holds the CLOSID for each task. The default resource group uses CLOSID=0 which means that all existing tasks when the resctrl file system is mounted belong to the default group.

2016-10-08thp: reduce usage of huge zero page's atomic counterAaron Lu1-0/+1
The global zero page is used to satisfy an anonymous read fault. If THP(Transparent HugePage) is enabled then the global huge zero page is used. The global huge zero page uses an atomic counter for reference counting and is allocated/freed dynamically according to its counter value. CPU time spent on that counter will greatly increase if there are a lot of processes doing anonymous read faults. This patch proposes a way to reduce the access to the global counter so that the CPU load can be reduced accordingly. To do this, a new flag of the mm_struct is introduced: MMF_USED_HUGE_ZERO_PAGE. With this flag, the process only need to touch the global counter in two cases: 1 The first time it uses the global huge zero page; 2 The time when mm_user of its mm_struct reaches zero. Note that right now, the huge zero page is eligible to be freed as soon as its last use goes away. With this patch, the page will not be eligible to be freed until the exit of the last process from which it was ever used. And with the use of mm_user, the kthread is not eligible to use huge zero page either. Since no kthread is using huge zero page today, there is no difference after applying this patch. But if that is not desired, I can change it to when mm_count reaches zero. Case used for test on Haswell EP: usemem -n 72 --readonly -j 0x200000 100G Which spawns 72 processes and each will mmap 100G anonymous space and then do read only access to that space sequentially with a step of 2MB.

2016-10-08mm: make sure that kthreads will not refault oom reaped memoryMichal Hocko1-0/+1
There are only few use_mm() users in the kernel right now. Most of them write to the target memory but vhost driver relies on copy_from_user/get_user from a kernel thread context. This makes it impossible to reap the memory of an oom victim which shares the mm with the vhost kernel thread because it could see a zero page unexpectedly and theoretically make an incorrect decision visible outside of the killed task context. To quote Michael S. Tsirkin: : Getting an error from __get_user and friends is handled gracefully. : Getting zero instead of a real value will cause userspace : memory corruption. The vhost kernel thread is bound to an open fd of the vhost device which is not tight to the mm owner life cycle in general. The device fd can be inherited or passed over to another process which means that we really have to be careful about unexpected memory corruption because unlike for normal oom victims the result will be visible outside of the oom victim context. Make sure that no kthread context (users of use_mm) can ever see corrupted data because of the oom reaper and hook into the page fault path by checking MMF_UNSTABLE mm flag. __oom_reap_task_mm will set the flag before it starts unmapping the address space while the flag is checked after the page fault has been handled. If the flag is set then SIGBUS is triggered so any g-u-p user will get a error code. Regular tasks do not need this protection because all which share the mm are killed when the mm is reaped and so the corruption will not outlive them. This patch shouldn't have any visible effect at this moment because the OOM killer doesn't invoke oom reaper for tasks with mm shared with kthreads yet.

After "oom: keep mm of the killed task available" we can safely detect an oom victim by checking task->signal->oom_mm so we do not need the signal_struct counter anymore so let's get rid of it. This alone wouldn't be sufficient for nommu archs because exit_oom_victim doesn't hide the process from the oom killer anymore. We can, however, mark the mm with a MMF flag in __mmput. We can reuse MMF_OOM_REAPED and rename it to a more generic MMF_OOM_SKIP.

2016-10-08oom: keep mm of the killed task availableMichal Hocko1-0/+2
oom_reap_task has to call exit_oom_victim in order to make sure that the oom vicim will not block the oom killer for ever. This is, however, opening new problems (e.g oom_killer_disable exclusion - see commit 74070542099c ("oom, suspend: fix oom_reaper vs. oom_killer_disable race")). exit_oom_victim should be only called from the victim's context ideally. One way to achieve this would be to rely on per mm_struct flags. We already have MMF_OOM_REAPED to hide a task from the oom killer since "mm, oom: hide mm which is shared with kthread or global init". The problem is that the exit path: do_exit exit_mm tsk->mm = NULL; mmput __mmput exit_oom_victim doesn't guarantee that exit_oom_victim will get called in a bounded amount of time. At least exit_aio depends on IO which might get blocked due to lack of memory and who knows what else is lurking there. This patch takes a different approach. We remember tsk->mm into the signal_struct and bind it to the signal struct life time for all oom victims. __oom_reap_task_mm as well as oom_scan_process_thread do not have to rely on find_lock_task_mm anymore and they will have a reliable reference to the mm struct. As a result all the oom specific communication inside the OOM killer can be done via tsk->signal->oom_mm. Increasing the signal_struct for something as unlikely as the oom killer is far from ideal but this approach will make the code much more reasonable and long term we even might want to move task->mm into the signal_struct anyway. In the next step we might want to make the oom killer exclusion and access to memory reserves completely independent which would be also nice.

2016-10-08mm,oom_reaper: do not attempt to reap a task twiceTetsuo Handa1-1/+0
"mm, oom_reaper: do not attempt to reap a task twice" tried to give the OOM reaper one more chance to retry using MMF_OOM_NOT_REAPABLE flag. But the usefulness of the flag is rather limited and actually never shown in practice. If the flag is set, it means that the holder of mm->mmap_sem cannot call up_write() due to presumably being blocked at unkillable wait waiting for other thread's memory allocation. But since one of threads sharing that mm will queue that mm immediately via task_will_free_mem() shortcut (otherwise, oom_badness() will select the same mm again due to oom_score_adj value unchanged), retrying MMF_OOM_NOT_REAPABLE mm is unlikely helpful. Let's always set MMF_OOM_REAPED.

2016-09-30sched/core: Rewrite and improve select_idle_siblings()Peter Zijlstra1-0/+3
select_idle_siblings() is a known pain point for a number of workloads; it either does too much or not enough and sometimes just does plain wrong. This rewrite attempts to address a number of issues (but sadly not all). The current code does an unconditional sched_domain iteration; with the intent of finding an idle core (on SMT hardware). The problems which this patch tries to address are: - its pointless to look for idle cores if the machine is real busy; at which point you're just wasting cycles. - it's behaviour is inconsistent between SMT and !SMT hardware in that !SMT hardware ends up doing a scan for any idle CPU in the LLC domain, while SMT hardware does a scan for idle cores and if that fails, falls back to a scan for idle threads on the 'target' core. The new code replaces the sched_domain scan with 3 explicit scans: 1) search for an idle core in the LLC 2) search for an idle CPU in the LLC 3) search for an idle thread in the 'target' core where 1 and 3 are conditional on SMT support and 1 and 2 have runtime heuristics to skip the step. Step 1) is conditional on sd_llc_shared->has_idle_cores; when a cpu goes idle and sd_llc_shared->has_idle_cores is false, we scan all SMT siblings of the CPU going idle. Similarly, we clear sd_llc_shared->has_idle_cores when we fail to find an idle core. Step 2) tracks the average cost of the scan and compares this to the average idle time guestimate for the CPU doing the wakeup. There is a significant fudge factor involved to deal with the variability of the averages. Esp. hackbench was sensitive to this. Step 3) is unconditional; we assume (also per step 1) that scanning all SMT siblings in a core is 'cheap'. With this; SMT systems gain step 2, which cures a few benchmarks -- notably one from Facebook. One 'feature' of the sched_domain iteration, which we preserve in the new code, is that it would start scanning from the 'target' CPU, instead of scanning the cpumask in cpu id order. This avoids multiple CPUs in the LLC scanning for idle to gang up and find the same CPU quite as much. The down side is that tasks can end up hopping across the LLC for no apparent reason.

2016-09-16sched/core: Free the stack early if CONFIG_THREAD_INFO_IN_TASKAndy Lutomirski1-0/+14
We currently keep every task's stack around until the task_struct itself is freed. This means that we keep the stack allocation alive for longer than necessary and that, under load, we free stacks in big batches whenever RCU drops the last task reference. Neither of these is good for reuse of cache-hot memory, and freeing in batches prevents us from usefully caching small numbers of vmalloced stacks. On architectures that have thread_info on the stack, we can't easily change this, but on architectures that set THREAD_INFO_IN_TASK, we can free it as soon as the task is dead.

2016-09-15sched/core: Allow putting thread_info into task_structAndy Lutomirski1-2/+34
If an arch opts in by setting CONFIG_THREAD_INFO_IN_TASK_STRUCT, then thread_info is defined as a single 'u32 flags' and is the first entry of task_struct. thread_info::task is removed (it serves no purpose if thread_info is embedded in task_struct), and thread_info::cpu gets its own slot in task_struct. This is heavily based on a patch written by Linus.

Testing indicates that it is possible to improve performace significantly without increasing energy consumption too much by teaching cpufreq governors to bump up the CPU performance level if the in_iowait flag is set for the task in enqueue_task_fair(). For this purpose, define a new cpufreq_update_util() flag SCHED_CPUFREQ_IOWAIT and modify enqueue_task_fair() to pass that flag to cpufreq_update_util() in the in_iowait case. That generally requires cpufreq_update_util() to be called directly from there, because update_load_avg() may not be invoked in that case. Signed-off-by: Rafael J.

2016-08-18sched/core: Introduce SD_ASYM_CPUCAPACITY sched_domain topology flagMorten Rasmussen1-0/+1
Add a topology flag to the sched_domain hierarchy indicating the lowest domain level where the full range of CPU capacities is represented by the domain members for asymmetric capacity topologies (e.g. ARM big.LITTLE). The flag is intended to indicate that extra care should be taken when placing tasks on CPUs and this level spans all the different types of CPUs found in the system (no need to look further up the domain hierarchy). This information is currently only available through iterating through the capacities of all the CPUs at parent levels in the sched_domain hierarchy. SD 2 [ 0 1 2 3] SD_ASYM_CPUCAPACITY SD 1 [ 0 1] [ 2 3] !SD_ASYM_CPUCAPACITY CPU: 0 1 2 3 capacity: 756 756 1024 1024 If the topology in the example above is duplicated to create an eight CPU example with third sched_domain level on top (SD 3), this level should not have the flag set (!SD_ASYM_CPUCAPACITY) as its two group would both have all CPU capacities represented within them.

2016-08-16cpufreq / sched: Pass flags to cpufreq_update_util()Rafael J. Wysocki1-4/+8
It is useful to know the reason why cpufreq_update_util() has just been called and that can be passed as flags to cpufreq_update_util() and to the ->func() callback in struct update_util_data. However, doing that in addition to passing the util and max arguments they already take would be clumsy, so avoid it. Instead, use the observation that the schedutil governor is part of the scheduler proper, so it can access scheduler data directly. This allows the util and max arguments of cpufreq_update_util() and the ->func() callback in struct update_util_data to be replaced with a flags one, but schedutil has to be modified to follow. Thus make the schedutil governor obtain the CFS utilization information from the scheduler and use the "RT" and "DL" flags instead of the special utilization value of ULONG_MAX to track updates from the RT and DL sched classes. Make it non-modular too to avoid having to export scheduler variables to modules at large. Next, update all of the other users of cpufreq_update_util() and the ->func() callback in struct update_util_data accordingly.

In general, there's no need for the "restore sigmask" flag to live in ti->flags. alpha, ia64, microblaze, powerpc, sh, sparc (64-bit only), tile, and x86 use essentially identical alternative implementations, placing the flag in ti->status. Replace those optimized implementations with an equally good common implementation that stores it in a bitfield in struct task_struct and drop the custom implementations. Additional architectures can opt in by removing their TIF_RESTORE_SIGMASK defines.

2016-07-29mm, oom_reaper: do not attempt to reap a task more than twiceMichal Hocko1-0/+1
oom_reaper relies on the mmap_sem for read to do its job. Many places which might block readers have been converted to use down_write_killable and that has reduced chances of the contention a lot. Some paths where the mmap_sem is held for write can take other locks and they might either be not prepared to fail due to fatal signal pending or too impractical to be changed. This patch introduces MMF_OOM_NOT_REAPABLE flag which gets set after the first attempt to reap a task's mm fails. If the flag is present after the failure then we set MMF_OOM_REAPED to hide this mm from the oom killer completely so it can go and chose another victim. As a result a risk of OOM deadlock when the oom victim would be blocked indefinetly and so the oom killer cannot make any progress should be mitigated considerably while we still try really hard to perform all reclaim attempts and stay predictable in the behavior.

2016-07-29mm, oom: skip vforked tasks from being selectedMichal Hocko1-0/+26
vforked tasks are not really sitting on any memory. They are sharing the mm with parent until they exec into a new code. Until then it is just pinning the address space. OOM killer will kill the vforked task along with its parent but we still can end up selecting vforked task when the parent wouldn't be selected. E.g. init doing vfork to launch a task or vforked being a child of oom unkillable task with an updated oom_score_adj to be killable. Add a new helper to check whether a task is in the vfork sharing memory with its parent and use it in oom_badness to skip over these tasks.

2016-06-27sched/fair: Fix PELT integrity for new tasksPeter Zijlstra1-2/+3
Vincent and Yuyang found another few scenarios in which entity tracking goes wobbly. The scenarios are basically due to the fact that new tasks are not immediately attached and thereby differ from the normal situation -- a task is always attached to a cfs_rq load average (such that it includes its blocked contribution) and are explicitly detached/attached on migration to another cfs_rq. Scenario 1: switch to fair class p->sched_class = fair_class; if (queued) enqueue_task(p); ... enqueue_entity() enqueue_entity_load_avg() migrated = !sa->last_update_time (true) if (migrated) attach_entity_load_avg() check_class_changed() switched_from() (!fair) switched_to() (fair) switched_to_fair() attach_entity_load_avg() If @p is a new task that hasn't been fair before, it will have !last_update_time and, per the above, end up in attach_entity_load_avg() _twice_. Scenario 2: change between cgroups sched_move_group(p) if (queued) dequeue_task() task_move_group_fair() detach_task_cfs_rq() detach_entity_load_avg() set_task_rq() attach_task_cfs_rq() attach_entity_load_avg() if (queued) enqueue_task(); ... enqueue_entity() enqueue_entity_load_avg() migrated = !sa->last_update_time (true) if (migrated) attach_entity_load_avg() Similar as with scenario 1, if @p is a new task, it will have !load_update_time and we'll end up in attach_entity_load_avg() _twice_. Furthermore, notice how we do a detach_entity_load_avg() on something that wasn't attached to begin with. As stated above; the problem is that the new task isn't yet attached to the load tracking and thereby violates the invariant assumption. This patch remedies this by ensuring a new task is indeed properly attached to the load tracking on creation, through post_init_entity_util_avg(). Of course, this isn't entirely as straightforward as one might think, since the task is hashed before we call wake_up_new_task() and thus can be poked at. We avoid this by adding TASK_NEW and teaching cpu_cgroup_can_attach() to refuse such tasks.

2016-06-25Clarify naming of thread info/stack allocatorsLinus Torvalds1-1/+1
We've had the thread info allocated together with the thread stack for most architectures for a long time (since the thread_info was split off from the task struct), but that is about to change. But the patches that move the thread info to be off-stack (and a part of the task struct instead) made it clear how confused the allocator and freeing functions are. Because the common case was that we share an allocation with the thread stack and the thread_info, the two pointers were identical. That identity then meant that we would have things like ti = alloc_thread_info_node(tsk, node); ... tsk->stack = ti; which certainly _worked_ (since stack and thread_info have the same value), but is rather confusing: why are we assigning a thread_info to the stack? And if we move the thread_info away, the "confusing" code just gets to be entirely bogus. So remove all this confusion, and make it clear that we are doing the stack allocation by renaming and clarifying the function names to be about the stack. The fact that the thread_info then shares the allocation is an implementation detail, and not really about the allocation itself. This is a pure renaming and type fix: we pass in the same pointer, it's just that we clarify what the pointer means. The ia64 code that actually only has one single allocation (for all of task_struct, thread_info and kernel thread stack) now looks a bit odd, but since "tsk->stack" is actually not even used there, that oddity doesn't matter. It would be a separate thing to clean that up, I intentionally left the ia64 changes as a pure brute-force renaming and type change.

2016-06-03sched/api: Introduce task_rcu_dereference() and try_get_task_struct()Oleg Nesterov1-0/+3
Generally task_struct is only protected by RCU if it was found on a RCU protected list (say, for_each_process() or find_task_by_vpid()). As Kirill pointed out rq->curr isn't protected by RCU, the scheduler drops the (potentially) last reference without RCU gp, this means that we need to fix the code which uses foreign_rq->curr under rcu_read_lock(). Add a new helper which can be used to dereference rq->curr or any other pointer to task_struct assuming that it should be cleared or updated before the final put_task_struct(). It returns non-NULL only if this task can't go away before rcu_read_unlock().
