2016-10-31bpf, inode: add support for symlinks and fix mtime/ctimeDaniel Borkmann1-6/+39
While commit bb35a6ef7da4 ("bpf, inode: allow for rename and link ops") added support for hard links that can be used for prog and map nodes, this work adds simple symlink support, which can be used f.e. for directories also when unpriviledged and works with cmdline tooling that understands S_IFLNK anyway. Since the switch in e27f4a942a0e ("bpf: Use mount_nodev not mount_ns to mount the bpf filesystem"), there can be various mount instances with mount_nodev() and thus hierarchy can be flattened to facilitate object sharing. Thus, we can keep bpf tooling also working by repointing paths. Most of the functionality can be used from vfs library operations. The symlink is stored in the inode itself, that is in i_link, which is sufficient in our case as opposed to storing it in the page cache. While at it, I noticed that bpf_mkdir() and bpf_mkobj() don't update the directories mtime and ctime, so add a common helper for it called bpf_dentry_finalize() that takes care of it for all cases now.

2016-10-28block: better op and flags encodingChristoph Hellwig1-7/+7
Now that we don't need the common flags to overflow outside the range of a 32-bit type we can encode them the same way for both the bio and request fields. This in addition allows us to place the operation first (and make some room for more ops while we're at it) and to stop having to shift around the operation values. In addition this allows passing around only one value in the block layer instead of two (and eventuall also in the file systems, but we can do that later) and thus clean up a lot of code. Last but not least this allows decreasing the size of the cmd_flags field in struct request to 32-bits. Various functions passing this value could also be updated, but I'd like to avoid the churn for now. Signed-off-by: Christoph Hellwig <[email protected]> Signed-off-by: Jens Axboe <[email protected]>

2016-10-28perf/core: Protect PMU device removal with a 'pmu_bus_running' check, to fix ↵Jiri Olsa1-4/+9
CONFIG_DEBUG_TEST_DRIVER_REMOVE=y kernel panic CAI Qian reported a crash in the PMU uncore device removal code, enabled by the CONFIG_DEBUG_TEST_DRIVER_REMOVE=y option: https://marc.info/?l=linux-kernel&m=147688837328451 The reason for the crash is that perf_pmu_unregister() tries to remove a PMU device which is not added at this point. We add PMU devices only after pmu_bus is registered, which happens in the perf_event_sysfs_init() call and sets the 'pmu_bus_running' flag. The fix is to get the 'pmu_bus_running' flag state at the point the PMU is taken out of the PMU list and remove the device later only if it's set.

In all families that I found, genl_register_family() is only called from __init functions (some indirectly, in which case I've add __init annotations to clarifly things), so all can actually be marked __ro_after_init.

2016-10-27genetlink: no longer support using static family IDsJohannes Berg1-1/+0
Static family IDs have never really been used, the only use case was the workaround I introduced for those users that assumed their family ID was also their multicast group ID. Additionally, because static family IDs would never be reserved by the generic netlink code, using a relatively low ID would only work for built-in families that can be registered immediately after generic netlink is started, which is basically only the control family (apart from the workaround code, which I also had to add code for so it would reserve those IDs) Thus, anything other than GENL_ID_GENERATE is flawed and luckily not used except in the cases I mentioned. Move those workarounds into a few lines of code, and then get rid of GENL_ID_GENERATE entirely, making it more robust. Signed-off-by: Johannes Berg <[email protected]> Signed-off-by: David S.

2016-10-27mm: remove per-zone hashtable of bitlock waitqueuesLinus Torvalds2-10/+16
The per-zone waitqueues exist because of a scalability issue with the page waitqueues on some NUMA machines, but it turns out that they hurt normal loads, and now with the vmalloced stacks they also end up breaking gfs2 that uses a bit_wait on a stack object: wait_on_bit(&gh->gh_iflags, HIF_WAIT, TASK_UNINTERRUPTIBLE) where 'gh' can be a reference to the local variable 'mount_gh' on the stack of fill_super(). The reason the per-zone hash table breaks for this case is that there is no "zone" for virtual allocations, and trying to look up the physical page to get at it will fail (with a BUG_ON()). It turns out that I actually complained to the mm people about the per-zone hash table for another reason just a month ago: the zone lookup also hurts the regular use of "unlock_page()" a lot, because the zone lookup ends up forcing several unnecessary cache misses and generates horrible code. As part of that earlier discussion, we had a much better solution for the NUMA scalability issue - by just making the page lock have a separate contention bit, the waitqueue doesn't even have to be looked at for the normal case. Peter Zijlstra already has a patch for that, but let's see if anybody even notices. In the meantime, let's fix the actual gfs2 breakage by simplifying the bitlock waitqueues and removing the per-zone issue.

2016-10-26timers: Fix documentation for schedule_timeout() and similarDouglas Anderson2-10/+21
The documentation for schedule_timeout(), schedule_hrtimeout(), and schedule_hrtimeout_range() all claim that the routines couldn't possibly return early if the task state was TASK_UNINTERRUPTIBLE. This is simply not true since wake_up_process() will cause those routines to exit early. We cannot make schedule_[hr]timeout() loop until the timeout expires if the task state is uninterruptible because we have users which rely on the existing and designed behaviour. Make the documentation match the (correct) implementation. schedule_hrtimeout() returns -EINTR even when a uninterruptible task was woken up. This might look strange, but making the return code depend on the state is too much of an effort as it would affect all the call sites. There is no value in doing so, but we spell it out clearly in the documentation.

2016-10-26timers: Fix usleep_range() in the context of wake_up_process()Douglas Anderson1-12/+9
Users of usleep_range() expect that it will _never_ return in less time than the minimum passed parameter. However, nothing in the code ensures this, when the sleeping task is woken by wake_up_process() or any other mechanism which can wake a task from uninterruptible state. Neither usleep_range() nor schedule_hrtimeout_range*() have any protection against wakeups. schedule_hrtimeout_range*() is designed this way despite the fact that the API documentation does not mention it. msleep() already has code to handle this case since it will loop as long as there was still time left. usleep_range() has no such loop, add it. Presumably this problem was not detected before because usleep_range() is only used in a few places and the function is mostly used in contexts which are not exposed to wakeups of any form. An effort was made to look for users relying on the old behavior by looking for usleep_range() in the same file as wake_up_process(). No problems were found by this search, though it is conceivable that someone could have put the sleep and wakeup in two different files. An effort was made to ask several upstream maintainers if they were aware of people relying on wake_up_process() to wake up usleep_range(). No maintainers were aware of that but they were aware of many people relying on usleep_range() never returning before the minimum.

2016-10-26kernel/smp: Tell the user we're bringing up secondary CPUsMichael Ellerman1-0/+2
Currently we don't print anything before starting to bring up secondary CPUs. This can be confusing if it takes a long time to bring up the secondaries, or if the kernel crashes while doing so and produces no further output.

Currently after bringing up secondary CPUs all arches print "Brought up %d CPUs". On x86 they also print the number of nodes that were brought online. It would be nice to also print the number of nodes on other arches. Although we could override smp_announce() on the other ~10 NUMA aware arches, it seems simpler to just always print the number of nodes. On non-NUMA arches there is just always 1 node. Having done that, smp_announce() is no longer weak, and seems small enough to just pull directly into smp_init().

This seems to be an artifact from long ago, and probably isn't needed anymore. It generally just adds noise to the dump, and it can be actively harmful because it leaks kernel addresses. Linus says: "The stack dump actually goes back to forever, and it used to be useful back in 1992 or so. But it used to be useful mainly because stacks were simpler and we didn't have very good call traces anyway. I definitely remember having used them - I just do not remember having used them in the last ten+ years.

2016-10-25timers: Prevent base clock corruption when forwardingThomas Gleixner1-13/+10
When a timer is enqueued we try to forward the timer base clock. This mechanism has two issues: 1) Forwarding a remote base unlocked The forwarding function is called from get_target_base() with the current timer base lock held. But if the new target base is a different base than the current base (can happen with NOHZ, sigh!) then the forwarding is done on an unlocked base. This can lead to corruption of base->clk. Solution is simple: Invoke the forwarding after the target base is locked. 2) Possible corruption due to jiffies advancing This is similar to the issue in get_net_timer_interrupt() which was fixed in the previous patch. jiffies can advance between check and assignement and therefore advancing base->clk beyond the next expiry value. So we need to read jiffies into a local variable once and do the checks and assignment with the local copy.

2016-10-25timers: Prevent base clock rewind when forwarding clockThomas Gleixner1-5/+9
Ashton and Michael reported, that kernel versions 4.8 and later suffer from USB timeouts which are caused by the timer wheel rework. This is caused by a bug in the base clock forwarding mechanism, which leads to timers expiring early. The scenario which leads to this is: run_timers() while (jiffies >= base->clk) { collect_expired_timers(); base->clk++; expire_timers(); } So base->clk = jiffies + 1. Now the cpu goes idle: idle() get_next_timer_interrupt() nextevt = __next_time_interrupt(); if (time_after(nextevt, base->clk)) base->clk = jiffies; jiffies has not advanced since run_timers(), so this assignment effectively decrements base->clk by one. base->clk is the index into the timer wheel arrays. So let's assume the following state after the base->clk increment in run_timers(): jiffies = 0 base->clk = 1 A timer gets enqueued with an expiry delta of 63 ticks (which is the case with the USB timeout and HZ=250) so the resulting bucket index is: base->clk + delta = 1 + 63 = 64 The timer goes into the first wheel level. The array size is 64 so it ends up in bucket 0, which is correct as it takes 63 ticks to advance base->clk to index into bucket 0 again. If the cpu goes idle before jiffies advance, then the bug in the forwarding mechanism sets base->clk back to 0, so the next invocation of run_timers() at the next tick will index into bucket 0 and therefore expire the timer 62 ticks too early. Instead of blindly setting base->clk to jiffies we must make the forwarding conditional on jiffies > base->clk, but we cannot use jiffies for this as we might run into the following issue: if (time_after(jiffies, base->clk) { if (time_after(nextevt, base->clk)) base->clk = jiffies; jiffies can increment between the check and the assigment far enough to advance beyond nextevt. So we need to use a stable value for checking. get_next_timer_interrupt() has the basej argument which is the jiffies value snapshot taken in the calling code. So we can just that.

2016-10-25timers: Lock base for same bucket optimizationThomas Gleixner1-11/+17
Linus stumbled over the unlocked modification of the timer expiry value in mod_timer() which is an optimization for timers which stay in the same bucket - due to the bucket granularity - despite their expiry time getting updated. The optimization itself still makes sense even if we take the lock, because in case that the bucket stays the same, we avoid the pointless queue/enqueue dance. Make the check and the modification of timer->expires protected by the base lock and shuffle the remaining code around so we can keep the lock held when we actually have to requeue the timer to a different bucket.

2016-10-25locking/mutex: Add lock handoff to avoid starvationPeter Zijlstra1-23/+119
Implement lock handoff to avoid lock starvation. Lock starvation is possible because mutex_lock() allows lock stealing, where a running (or optimistic spinning) task beats the woken waiter to the acquire. Lock stealing is an important performance optimization because waiting for a waiter to wake up and get runtime can take a significant time, during which everyboy would stall on the lock. The down-side is of course that it allows for starvation. This patch has the waiter requesting a handoff if it fails to acquire the lock upon waking. This re-introduces some of the wait time, because once we do a handoff we have to wait for the waiter to wake up again. A future patch will add a round of optimistic spinning to attempt to alleviate this penalty, but if that turns out to not be enough, we can add a counter and only request handoff after multiple failed wakeups. There are a few tricky implementation details: - accepting a handoff must only be done in the wait-loop. Since the handoff condition is owner == current, it can easily cause recursive locking trouble. - accepting the handoff must be careful to provide the ACQUIRE semantics. - having the HANDOFF bit set on unlock requires care, we must not clear the owner. - we must be careful to not leave HANDOFF set after we've acquired the lock. The tricky scenario is setting the HANDOFF bit on an unlocked mutex.

2016-10-25locking/mutex: Rework mutex::ownerPeter Zijlstra5-265/+157
The current mutex implementation has an atomic lock word and a non-atomic owner field. This disparity leads to a number of issues with the current mutex code as it means that we can have a locked mutex without an explicit owner (because the owner field has not been set, or already cleared). This leads to a number of weird corner cases, esp. between the optimistic spinning and debug code. Where the optimistic spinning code needs the owner field updated inside the lock region, the debug code is more relaxed because the whole lock is serialized by the wait_lock. Also, the spinning code itself has a few corner cases where we need to deal with a held lock without an owner field. Furthermore, it becomes even more of a problem when trying to fix starvation cases in the current code. We end up stacking special case on special case. To solve this rework the basic mutex implementation to be a single atomic word that contains the owner and uses the low bits for extra state. This matches how PI futexes and rt_mutex already work. By having the owner an integral part of the lock state a lot of the problems dissapear and we get a better option to deal with starvation cases, direct owner handoff. Changing the basic mutex does however invalidate all the arch specific mutex code; this patch leaves that unused in-place, a later patch will remove that.

Merge the gup_flags cleanups from Lorenzo Stoakes: "This patch series adjusts functions in the get_user_pages* family such that desired FOLL_* flags are passed as an argument rather than implied by flags. The purpose of this change is to make the use of FOLL_FORCE explicit so it is easier to grep for and clearer to callers that this flag is being used. The use of FOLL_FORCE is an issue as it overrides missing VM_READ/VM_WRITE flags for the VMA whose pages we are reading from/writing to, which can result in surprising behaviour. The patch series came out of the discussion around commit 38e088546522 ("mm: check VMA flags to avoid invalid PROT_NONE NUMA balancing"), which addressed a BUG_ON() being triggered when a page was faulted in with PROT_NONE set but having been overridden by FOLL_FORCE. do_numa_page() was run on the assumption the page _must_ be one marked for NUMA node migration as an actual PROT_NONE page would have been dealt with prior to this code path, however FOLL_FORCE introduced a situation where this assumption did not hold. See https://marc.info/?l=linux-mm&m=147585445805166 for the patch proposal" Additionally, there's a fix for an ancient bug related to FOLL_FORCE and FOLL_WRITE by me.

2016-10-19mm: replace access_process_vm() write parameter with gup_flagsLorenzo Stoakes1-6/+10
This removes the 'write' argument from access_process_vm() and replaces it with 'gup_flags' as use of this function previously silently implied FOLL_FORCE, whereas after this patch callers explicitly pass this flag. We make this explicit as use of FOLL_FORCE can result in surprising behaviour (and hence bugs) within the mm subsystem.

2016-10-19mm: replace get_user_pages_remote() write/force parameters with gup_flagsLorenzo Stoakes1-2/+4
This removes the 'write' and 'force' from get_user_pages_remote() and replaces them with 'gup_flags' to make the use of FOLL_FORCE explicit in callers as use of this flag can result in surprising behaviour (and hence bugs) within the mm subsystem.

2016-10-19bpf: Detect identical PTR_TO_MAP_VALUE_OR_NULL registersThomas Graf1-16/+45
A BPF program is required to check the return register of a map_elem_lookup() call before accessing memory. The verifier keeps track of this by converting the type of the result register from PTR_TO_MAP_VALUE_OR_NULL to PTR_TO_MAP_VALUE after a conditional jump ensures safety. This check is currently exclusively performed for the result register 0. In the event the compiler reorders instructions, BPF_MOV64_REG instructions may be moved before the conditional jump which causes them to keep their type PTR_TO_MAP_VALUE_OR_NULL to which the verifier objects when the register is accessed: 0: (b7) r1 = 10 1: (7b) *(u64 *)(r10 -8) = r1 2: (bf) r2 = r10 3: (07) r2 += -8 4: (18) r1 = 0x59c00000 6: (85) call 1 7: (bf) r4 = r0 8: (15) if r0 == 0x0 goto pc+1 R0=map_value(ks=8,vs=8) R4=map_value_or_null(ks=8,vs=8) R10=fp 9: (7a) *(u64 *)(r4 +0) = 0 R4 invalid mem access 'map_value_or_null' This commit extends the verifier to keep track of all identical PTR_TO_MAP_VALUE_OR_NULL registers after a map_elem_lookup() by assigning them an ID and then marking them all when the conditional jump is observed.
