2018-12-21fork,memcg: fix crash in free_thread_stack on memcg charge failRik van Riel
Commit 9b6f7e163cd0 ("mm: rework memcg kernel stack accounting") will result in fork failing if allocating a kernel stack for a task in dup_task_struct exceeds the kernel memory allowance for that cgroup. Unfortunately, it also results in a crash. This is due to the code jumping to free_stack and calling free_thread_stack when the memcg kernel stack charge fails, but without tsk->stack pointing at the freshly allocated stack. This in turn results in the vfree_atomic in free_thread_stack oopsing with a backtrace like this: #5 [ffffc900244efc88] die at ffffffff8101f0ab #6 [ffffc900244efcb8] do_general_protection at ffffffff8101cb86 #7 [ffffc900244efce0] general_protection at ffffffff818ff082 [exception RIP: llist_add_batch+7] RIP: ffffffff8150d487 RSP: ffffc900244efd98 RFLAGS: 00010282 RAX: 0000000000000000 RBX: ffff88085ef55980 RCX: 0000000000000000 RDX: ffff88085ef55980 RSI: 343834343531203a RDI: 343834343531203a RBP: ffffc900244efd98 R8: 0000000000000001 R9: ffff8808578c3600 R10: 0000000000000000 R11: 0000000000000001 R12: ffff88029f6c21c0 R13: 0000000000000286 R14: ffff880147759b00 R15: 0000000000000000 ORIG_RAX: ffffffffffffffff CS: 0010 SS: 0018 #8 [ffffc900244efda0] vfree_atomic at ffffffff811df2c7 #9 [ffffc900244efdb8] copy_process at ffffffff81086e37 #10 [ffffc900244efe98] _do_fork at ffffffff810884e0 #11 [ffffc900244eff10] sys_vfork at ffffffff810887ff #12 [ffffc900244eff20] do_syscall_64 at ffffffff81002a43 RIP: 000000000049b948 RSP: 00007ffcdb307830 RFLAGS: 00000246 RAX: ffffffffffffffda RBX: 0000000000896030 RCX: 000000000049b948 RDX: 0000000000000000 RSI: 00007ffcdb307790 RDI: 00000000005d7421 RBP: 000000000067370f R8: 00007ffcdb3077b0 R9: 000000000001ed00 R10: 0000000000000008 R11: 0000000000000246 R12: 0000000000000040 R13: 000000000000000f R14: 0000000000000000 R15: 000000000088d018 ORIG_RAX: 000000000000003a CS: 0033 SS: 002b The simplest fix is to assign tsk->stack right where it is allocated.

2018-12-19genirq/affinity: Add is_managed to struct irq_affinity_descDou Liyang
Devices which use managed interrupts usually have two classes of interrupts: - Interrupts for multiple device queues - Interrupts for general device management Currently both classes are treated the same way, i.e. as managed interrupts.

Treating the general interrupts as managed is both a limitation and under certain circumstances a bug. Assume the following situation: default_irq_affinity = 4..7 So if CPUs 4-7 are offlined, then the core code will shut down the device management interrupts because the last CPU in their affinity mask went offline. It's also a limitation because it's desired to allow manual placement of the general device interrupts for various reasons. If they are marked managed then the interrupt affinity setting from both user and kernel space is disabled. That limitation was reported by Kashyap and Sumit.

2018-12-19genirq/core: Introduce struct irq_affinity_descDou Liyang
The interrupt affinity management uses straight cpumask pointers to convey the automatically assigned affinity masks for managed interrupts. The core interrupt descriptor allocation also decides based on the pointer being non NULL whether an interrupt is managed or not. Devices which use managed interrupts usually have two classes of interrupts: - Interrupts for multiple device queues - Interrupts for general device management Currently both classes are treated the same way, i.e. as managed interrupts. The general interrupts get the default affinity mask assigned while the device queue interrupts are spread out over the possible CPUs. Treating the general interrupts as managed is both a limitation and under certain circumstances a bug. Assume the following situation: default_irq_affinity = 4..7 So if CPUs 4-7 are offlined, then the core code will shut down the device management interrupts because the last CPU in their affinity mask went offline. It's also a limitation because it's desired to allow manual placement of the general device interrupts for various reasons. If they are marked managed then the interrupt affinity setting from both user and kernel space is disabled. To remedy that situation it's required to convey more information than the cpumasks through various interfaces related to interrupt descriptor allocation. Instead of adding yet another argument, create a new data structure 'irq_affinity_desc' which for now just contains the cpumask. This struct can be expanded to convey auxilliary information in the next step. No functional change, just preparatory work.

2018-12-18futex: Cure exit raceThomas Gleixner
Stefan reported, that the glibc tst-robustpi4 test case fails occasionally. That case creates the following race between sys_exit() and sys_futex_lock_pi(): CPU0 CPU1 sys_exit() sys_futex() do_exit() futex_lock_pi() exit_signals(tsk) No waiters: tsk->flags |= PF_EXITING; *uaddr == 0x00000PID mm_release(tsk) Set waiter bit exit_robust_list(tsk) { *uaddr = 0x80000PID; Set owner died attach_to_pi_owner() { *uaddr = 0xC0000000; tsk = get_task(PID); } if (!tsk->flags & PF_EXITING) { ... attach(); tsk->flags |= PF_EXITPIDONE; } else { if (!(tsk->flags & PF_EXITPIDONE)) return -EAGAIN; return -ESRCH; <--- FAIL } ESRCH is returned all the way to user space, which triggers the glibc test case assert. Returning ESRCH unconditionally is wrong here because the user space value has been changed by the exiting task to 0xC0000000, i.e. the FUTEX_OWNER_DIED bit is set and the futex PID value has been cleared. This is a valid state and the kernel has to handle it, i.e. taking the futex. Cure it by rereading the user space value when PF_EXITING and PF_EXITPIDONE is set in the task which 'owns' the futex. If the value has changed, let the kernel retry the operation, which includes all regular sanity checks and correctly handles the FUTEX_OWNER_DIED case. If it hasn't changed, then return ESRCH as there is no way to distinguish this case from malfunctioning user space. This happens when the exiting task did not have a robust list, the robust list was corrupted or the user space value in the futex was simply bogus.

2018-12-17dma-direct: do not include SME mask in the DMA supported checkLendacky, Thomas
The dma_direct_supported() function intends to check the DMA mask against specific values. However, the phys_to_dma() function includes the SME encryption mask, which defeats the intended purpose of the check. This results in drivers that support less than 48-bit DMA (SME encryption mask is bit 47) from being able to set the DMA mask successfully when SME is active, which results in the driver failing to initialize. Change the function used to check the mask from phys_to_dma() to __phys_to_dma() so that the SME encryption mask is not part of the check.

The signal delivery path of posix-timers can try to rearm the timer even if the interval is zero. That's handled for the common case (hrtimer) but not for alarm timers. In that case the forwarding function raises a division by zero exception. The handling for hrtimer based posix timers is wrong because it marks the timer as active despite the fact that it is stopped. Move the check from common_hrtimer_rearm() to posixtimer_rearm() to cure both issues.

2018-12-13bpf: verifier: make sure callees don't prune with caller differencesJakub Kicinski
Currently for liveness and state pruning the register parentage chains don't include states of the callee. This makes some sense as the callee can't access those registers. However, this means that READs done after the callee returns will not propagate into the states of the callee. Callee will then perform pruning disregarding differences in caller state. Example: 0: (85) call bpf_user_rnd_u32 1: (b7) r8 = 0 2: (55) if r0 != 0x0 goto pc+1 3: (b7) r8 = 1 4: (bf) r1 = r8 5: (85) call pc+4 6: (15) if r8 == 0x1 goto pc+1 7: (05) *(u64 *)(r9 - 8) = r3 8: (b7) r0 = 0 9: (95) exit 10: (15) if r1 == 0x0 goto pc+0 11: (95) exit Here we acquire unknown state with call to get_random() [1]. Then we store this random state in r8 (either 0 or 1) [1 - 3], and make a call on line 5. Callee does nothing but a trivial conditional jump (to create a pruning point). Upon return caller checks the state of r8 and either performs an unsafe read or not. Verifier will first explore the path with r8 == 1, creating a pruning point at [11]. The parentage chain for r8 will include only callers states so once verifier reaches [6] it will mark liveness only on states in the caller, and not [11]. Now when verifier walks the paths with r8 == 0 it will reach [11] and since REG_LIVE_READ on r8 was not propagated there it will prune the walk entirely (stop walking the entire program, not just the callee). Since [6] was never walked with r8 == 0, [7] will be considered dead and replaced with "goto -1" causing hang at runtime. This patch weaves the callee's explored states onto the callers parentage chain. Rough parentage for r8 would have looked like this before: [0] [1] [2] [3] [4] [5] [10] [11] [6] [7] | | ,---|----. | | | sl0: sl0: / sl0: \ sl0: sl0: sl0: fr0: r8 <-- fr0: r8<+--fr0: r8 `fr0: r8 ,fr0: r8<-fr0: r8 \ fr1: r8 <- fr1: r8 / \__________________/ after: [0] [1] [2] [3] [4] [5] [10] [11] [6] [7] | | | | | | sl0: sl0: sl0: sl0: sl0: sl0: fr0: r8 <-- fr0: r8 <- fr0: r8 <- fr0: r8 <-fr0: r8<-fr0: r8 fr1: r8 <- fr1: r8 Now the mark from instruction 6 will travel through callees states. Note that we don't have to connect r0 because its overwritten by callees state on return and r1 - r5 because those are not alive any more once a call is made. v2: - don't connect the callees registers twice (Alexei: suggestion & code) - add more details to the comment (Ed & Alexei) v1: don't unnecessarily link caller saved regs (Jiong) Fixes: f4d7e40a5b71 ("bpf: introduce function calls (verification)") Reported-by: David Beckett <david.beckett@netronome.com> Signed-off-by: Jakub Kicinski <jakub.kicinski@netronome.com> Reviewed-by: Jiong Wang <jiong.wang@netronome.com> Reviewed-by: Edward Cree <ecree@solarflare.com> Signed-off-by: Alexei Starovoitov <ast@kernel.org>

2018-12-11bpf: fix bpf_jit_limit knob for PAGE_SIZE >= 64KDaniel Borkmann
Michael and Sandipan report: Commit ede95a63b5 introduced a bpf_jit_limit tuneable to limit BPF JIT allocations. At compile time it defaults to PAGE_SIZE * 40000, and is adjusted again at init time if MODULES_VADDR is defined. For ppc64 kernels, MODULES_VADDR isn't defined, so we're stuck with the compile-time default at boot-time, which is 0x9c400000 when using 64K page size. This overflows the signed 32-bit bpf_jit_limit value: root@ubuntu:/tmp# cat /proc/sys/net/core/bpf_jit_limit -1673527296 and can cause various unexpected failures throughout the network stack. In one case `strace dhclient eth0` reported: setsockopt(5, SOL_SOCKET, SO_ATTACH_FILTER, {len=11, filter=0x105dd27f8}, 16) = -1 ENOTSUPP (Unknown error 524) and similar failures can be seen with tools like tcpdump. This doesn't always reproduce however, and I'm not sure why. The more consistent failure I've seen is an Ubuntu 18.04 KVM guest booted on a POWER9 host would time out on systemd/netplan configuring a virtio-net NIC with no noticeable errors in the logs. Given this and also given that in near future some architectures like arm64 will have a custom area for BPF JIT image allocations we should get rid of the BPF_JIT_LIMIT_DEFAULT fallback / default entirely. For 4.21, we have an overridable bpf_jit_alloc_exec(), bpf_jit_free_exec() so therefore add another overridable bpf_jit_alloc_exec_limit() helper function which returns the possible size of the memory area for deriving the default heuristic in bpf_jit_charge_init(). Like bpf_jit_alloc_exec() and bpf_jit_free_exec(), the new bpf_jit_alloc_exec_limit() assumes that module_alloc() is the default JIT memory provider, and therefore in case archs implement their custom module_alloc() we use MODULES_{END,_VADDR} for limits and otherwise for vmalloc_exec() cases like on ppc64 we use VMALLOC_{END,_START}. Additionally, for archs supporting large page sizes, we should change the sysctl to be handled as long to not run into sysctl restrictions in future.

2018-12-11sched/fair: Select an energy-efficient CPU on task wake-upQuentin Perret
If an Energy Model (EM) is available and if the system isn't overutilized, re-route waking tasks into an energy-aware placement algorithm. The selection of an energy-efficient CPU for a task is achieved by estimating the impact on system-level active energy resulting from the placement of the task on the CPU with the highest spare capacity in each performance domain. This strategy spreads tasks in a performance domain and avoids overly aggressive task packing. The best CPU energy-wise is then selected if it saves a large enough amount of energy with respect to prev_cpu. Although it has already shown significant benefits on some existing targets, this approach cannot scale to platforms with numerous CPUs. This is an attempt to do something useful as writing a fast heuristic that performs reasonably well on a broad spectrum of architectures isn't an easy task. As such, the scope of usability of the energy-aware wake-up path is restricted to systems with the SD_ASYM_CPUCAPACITY flag set, and where the EM isn't too complex.
