2013-11-11random32: add prandom_reseed_late() and call when nonblocking pool becomes ↵Hannes Frederic Sowa1-1/+22
initialized The Tausworthe PRNG is initialized at late_initcall time. At that time the entropy pool serving get_random_bytes is not filled sufficiently. This patch adds an additional reseeding step as soon as the nonblocking pool gets marked as initialized. On some machines it might be possible that late_initcall gets called after the pool has been initialized. In this situation we won't reseed again. (A call to prandom_seed_late blocks later invocations of early reseed attempts.) Joint work with Daniel Borkmann.

2013-11-11random32: add periodic reseedingHannes Frederic Sowa1-0/+23
The current Tausworthe PRNG is never reseeded with truly random data after the first attempt in late_initcall. As this PRNG is used for some critical random data as e.g. UDP port randomization we should try better and reseed the PRNG once in a while with truly random data from get_random_bytes(). When we reseed with prandom_seed we now make also sure to throw the first output away. This suffices the reseeding procedure. The delay calculation is based on a proposal from Eric Dumazet.

2013-11-11random32: fix off-by-one in seeding requirementDaniel Borkmann1-7/+7
For properly initialising the Tausworthe generator [1], we have a strict seeding requirement, that is, s1 > 1, s2 > 7, s3 > 15. Commit 697f8d0348 ("random32: seeding improvement") introduced a __seed() function that imposes boundary checks proposed by the errata paper [2] to properly ensure above conditions. However, we're off by one, as the function is implemented as: "return (x < m) ? x + m : x;", and called with __seed(X, 1), __seed(X, 7), __seed(X, 15). Thus, an unwanted seed of 1, 7, 15 would be possible, whereas the lower boundary should actually be of at least 2, 8, 16, just as GSL does. Fix this, as otherwise an initialization with an unwanted seed could have the effect that Tausworthe's PRNG properties cannot not be ensured. Note that this PRNG is *not* used for cryptography in the kernel.

This patch adds a combinator to merge two or more crc32{,c}s into a new one. This is useful for checksum computations of fragmented skbs that use crc32/crc32c as checksums. The arithmetics for combining both in the GF(2) was taken and slightly modified from zlib. Only passing two crcs is insufficient as two crcs and the length of the second piece is needed for merging. The code is made generic, so that only polynomials need to be passed for crc32_le resp. crc32c_le. Signed-off-by: Daniel Borkmann <[email protected]> Cc: [email protected] Signed-off-by: David S.

2013-10-31lib/scatterlist.c: don't flush_kernel_dcache_page on slab pageMing Lei1-1/+2
Commit b1adaf65ba03 ("[SCSI] block: add sg buffer copy helper functions") introduces two sg buffer copy helpers, and calls flush_kernel_dcache_page() on pages in SG list after these pages are written to. Unfortunately, the commit may introduce a potential bug: - Before sending some SCSI commands, kmalloc() buffer may be passed to block layper, so flush_kernel_dcache_page() can see a slab page finally - According to cachetlb.txt, flush_kernel_dcache_page() is only called on "a user page", which surely can't be a slab page. - ARCH's implementation of flush_kernel_dcache_page() may use page mapping information to do optimization so page_mapping() will see the slab page, then VM_BUG_ON() is triggered. Aaro Koskinen reported the bug on ARM/kirkwood when DEBUG_VM is enabled, and this patch fixes the bug by adding test of '!PageSlab(miter->page)' before calling flush_kernel_dcache_page().

2013-10-15GFS2: Use lockref for glocksSteven Whitehouse1-0/+1
Currently glocks have an atomic reference count and also a spinlock which covers various internal fields, such as the state. This intent of this patch is to replace the spinlock and the atomic reference count with a lockref structure. This contains a spinlock which we can continue to use as before, and a reference counter which is used in conjuction with the spinlock to replace the previous atomic counter. As a result of this there are some new rules for reference counting on glocks. We need to distinguish between reference count changes under gl_spin (which are now just increment or decrement of the new counter, provided the count cannot hit zero) and those which are outside of gl_spin, but which now take gl_spin internally. The conversion is relatively straight forward. There is probably some further clean up which can be done, but the priority at this stage is to make the change in as simple a manner as possible. A consequence of this change is that the reference count is being decoupled from the lru list processing. This should allow future adoption of the lru_list code with glocks in due course. The reason for using the "dead" state and not just relying on 0 being the "invalid state" is so that in due course 0 ref counts can be allowable. The intent is to eventually be able to remove the ref count changes which are currently hidden away in state_change(). Signed-off-by: Steven Whitehouse <[email protected]>

A directory removal would delete all files directly under it but wouldn't recurse into subdirectories, which, while a bit inconsistent, seems to make sense at the first glance as each directory is supposedly associated with a kobject and each kobject can take care of the directory deletion; however, this doesn't really hold as we have groups which can be directories without a kobject associated with it and require explicit deletions. We're in the process of separating out sysfs from kboject / driver core and want a consistent behavior. A removal should delete either only the specified node or everything under it. I think it is helpful to support recursive atomic removal and later patches will implement it. Such change means that a sysfs_dirent associated with kobject may be deleted before the kobject itself is removed if one of its ancestor gets removed before it. As sysfs_remove_dir() puts the base ref, we may end up with dangling pointer on descendants. This can be solved by holding an extra reference on the sd from kobject. Acquire an extra reference on the associated sysfs_dirent on directory creation and put it after removal.

2013-10-02tracing/events: Add bounce tracing to swiotblZoltan Kiss1-0/+4
Ftrace is currently not able to detect when SWIOTLB has to do double buffering. Under Xen you can only see it indirectly in function_graph, when xen_swiotlb_map_page() doesn't stop after range_straddles_page_boundary(), but calls spinlock functions, memcpy() and xen_phys_to_bus() as well. This patch introduces the swiotlb:swiotlb_bounced event, which also prints out the following informations to help you find out why bouncing happened: dev_name: 0000:08:00.0 dma_mask=ffffffffffffffff dev_addr=9149f000 size=32768 swiotlb_force=0 If you use Xen, and (dev_addr + size + 1) > dma_mask, the buffer is out of the device's DMA range. If swiotlb_force == 1, you should really change the kernel parameters. Otherwise, the buffer is not contiguous in mfn space.

2013-09-28lockref: use arch_mutex_cpu_relax() in CMPXCHG_LOOP()Heiko Carstens1-1/+9
Make use of arch_mutex_cpu_relax() so architectures can override the default cpu_relax() semantics. This is especially useful for s390, where cpu_relax() means that we yield() the current (virtual) cpu and therefore is very expensive, and would contradict the whole purpose of the lockless cmpxchg loop.

2013-09-27sysfs: Allow mounting without CONFIG_NETEric W. Biederman1-4/+1
In kobj_ns_current_may_mount the default should be to allow the mount. The test is only for a single kobj_ns_type at a time, and unless there is a reason to prevent it the mounting sysfs should be allowed. Subsystems that are not registered can't have are not involved so can't have a reason to prevent mounting sysfs. This is a bug-fix to commit 7dc5dbc879bd ("sysfs: Restrict mounting sysfs") that came in via the userns tree during the 3.12 merge window.

2013-09-27lockref: allow relaxed cmpxchg64 variant for lockless updatesWill Deacon1-2/+11
The 64-bit cmpxchg operation on the lockref is ordered by virtue of hazarding between the cmpxchg operation and the reference count manipulation. On weakly ordered memory architectures (such as ARM), it can be of great benefit to omit the barrier instructions where they are not needed. This patch moves the lockless lockref code over to a cmpxchg64_relaxed operation, which doesn't provide barrier semantics. If the operation isn't defined, we simply #define it as the usual 64-bit cmpxchg macro.

2013-09-26kobject: introduce kobj_completionJeff Mahoney1-0/+50
A common way to handle kobject lifetimes in embedded in objects with different lifetime rules is to pair the kobject with a struct completion. This introduces a kobj_completion structure that can be used in place of the pairing, along with several convenience functions for initialization, release, and put-and-wait.

2013-09-26sysfs: drop kobj_ns_type handlingTejun Heo1-1/+4
The way namespace tags are implemented in sysfs is more complicated than necessary. As each tag is a pointer value and required to be non-NULL under a namespace enabled parent, there's no need to record separately what type each tag is or where namespace is enabled. If multiple namespace types are needed, which currently aren't, we can simply compare the tag to a set of allowed tags in the superblock assuming that the tags, being pointers, won't have the same value across multiple types. Also, whether to filter by namespace tag or not can be trivially determined by whether the node has any tagged children or not. This patch rips out kobj_ns_type handling from sysfs. sysfs no longer cares whether specific type of namespace is enabled or not. If a sysfs_dirent has a non-NULL tag, the parent is marked as needing namespace filtering and the value is tested against the allowed set of tags for the superblock (currently only one but increasing this number isn't difficult) and the sysfs_dirent is ignored if it doesn't match. This removes most kobject namespace knowledge from sysfs proper which will enable proper separation and layering of sysfs. The namespace sanity checks in fs/sysfs/dir.c are replaced by the new sanity check in kobject_namespace(). As this is the only place ktype->namespace() is called for sysfs, this doesn't weaken the sanity check significantly. I omitted converting the sanity check in sysfs_do_create_link_sd(). While the check can be shifted to upper layer, mistakes there are well contained and should be easily visible anyway. Signed-off-by: Tejun Heo <[email protected]> Cc: Eric W.

2013-09-26sysfs: remove ktype->namespace() invocations in directory codeTejun Heo1-4/+24
For some unrecognizable reason, namespace information is communicated to sysfs through ktype->namespace() callback when there's *nothing* which needs the use of a callback. The whole sequence of operations is completely synchronous and sysfs operations simply end up calling back into the layer which just invoked it in order to find out the namespace information, which is completely backwards, obfuscates what's going on and unnecessarily tangles two separate layers. This patch doesn't remove ktype->namespace() but shifts its handling to kobject layer. We probably want to get rid of the callback in the long term. This patch adds an explicit param to sysfs_{create|rename|move}_dir() and renames them to sysfs_{create|rename|move}_dir_ns(), respectively. ktype->namespace() invocations are moved to the calling sites of the above functions. A new helper kboject_namespace() is introduced which directly tests kobj_ns_type_operations->type which should give the same result as testing sysfs_fs_type(parent_sd) and returns @kobj's namespace tag as necessary. kobject_namespace() is extern as it will be used from another file in the following patches. This patch should be an equivalent conversion without any functional difference. Signed-off-by: Tejun Heo <[email protected]> Cc: Eric W.
