If the event for which an AUX area is about to be allocated, does
not support setting up an AUX area, rb_alloc_aux() return -ENOTSUPP.
This error condition is being returned unfiltered to the user space,
and, for example, the perf tools fails with:
failed to mmap with 524 (INTERNAL ERROR: strerror_r(524, 0x3fff497a1c8, 512)=22)
This error can be easily seen with "perf record -m 128,256 -e cpu-clock".
The 524 error code maps to -ENOTSUPP (in rb_alloc_aux()). The -ENOTSUPP
error code shall be only used within the kernel. So the correct error
code would then be -EOPNOTSUPP.
With this commit, the perf tool then reports:
failed to mmap with 95 (Operation not supported)
which is more clear.

rcu_read_(un)lock(), list_*_rcu(), and synchronize_rcu() are used for a secure
access and manipulation of the list of patches that modify the same function.
In particular, it is the variable func_stack that is accessible from the ftrace
handler via struct ftrace_ops and klp_ops.
Of course, it synchronizes also some states of the patch on the top of the
stack, e.g. func->transition in klp_ftrace_handler.
At the same time, this mechanism guards also the manipulation of
task->patch_state. It is modified according to the state of the transition and
the state of the process.
Now, all this works well as long as RCU works well. Sadly livepatching might
get into some corner cases when this is not true. For example, RCU is not
watching when rcu_read_lock() is taken in idle threads. It is because they
might sleep and prevent reaching the grace period for too long.
There are ways how to make RCU watching even in idle threads, see
rcu_irq_enter(). But there is a small location inside RCU infrastructure when
even this does not work.
This small problematic location can be detected either before calling
rcu_irq_enter() by rcu_irq_enter_disabled() or later by rcu_is_watching().
Sadly, there is no safe way how to handle it. Once we detect that RCU was not
watching, we might see inconsistent state of the function stack and the related
variables in klp_ftrace_handler(). Then we could do a wrong decision, use an
incompatible implementation of the function and break the consistency of the
system. We could warn but we could not avoid the damage.
Fortunately, ftrace has similar problems and they seem to be solved well there.
It uses a heavy weight implementation of some RCU operations. In particular, it
replaces:
+ rcu_read_lock() with preempt_disable_notrace()
+ rcu_read_unlock() with preempt_enable_notrace()
+ synchronize_rcu() with schedule_on_each_cpu(sync_work)
My understanding is that this is RCU implementation from a stone age. It meets
the core RCU requirements but it is rather ineffective. Especially, it does not
allow to batch or speed up the synchronize calls.
On the other hand, it is very trivial. It allows to safely trace and/or
livepatch even the RCU core infrastructure. And the effectiveness is a not a
big issue because using ftrace or livepatches on productive systems is a rare
operation. The safety is much more important than a negligible extra load.
Note that the alternative implementation follows the RCU principles. Therefore,
we could and actually must use list_*_rcu() variants when manipulating the
func_stack. These functions allow to access the pointers in the right
order and with the right barriers. But they do not use any other
information that would be set only by rcu_read_lock().
Also note that there are actually two problems solved in ftrace:
First, it cares about the consistency of RCU read sections. It is being solved
the way as described and used in this patch.
Second, ftrace needs to make sure that nobody is inside the dynamic trampoline
when it is being freed. For this, it also calls synchronize_rcu_tasks() in
preemptive kernel in ftrace_shutdown().
Livepatch has similar problem but it is solved by ftrace for free.
klp_ftrace_handler() is a good guy and never sleeps. In addition, it is
registered with FTRACE_OPS_FL_DYNAMIC. It causes that
unregister_ftrace_function() calls:
* schedule_on_each_cpu(ftrace_sync) - always
* synchronize_rcu_tasks() - in preemptive kernel
The effect is that nobody is neither inside the dynamic trampoline nor inside
the ftrace handler after unregister_ftrace_function() returns.

Due to how the MONOTONIC_RAW accumulation logic was handled,
there is the potential for a 1ns discontinuity when we do
accumulations. This small discontinuity has for the most part
gone un-noticed, but since ARM64 enabled CLOCK_MONOTONIC_RAW
in their vDSO clock_gettime implementation, we've seen failures
with the inconsistency-check test in kselftest.
This patch addresses the issue by using the same sub-ns
accumulation handling that CLOCK_MONOTONIC uses, which avoids
the issue for in-kernel users.
Since the ARM64 vDSO implementation has its own clock_gettime
calculation logic, this patch reduces the frequency of errors,
but failures are still seen. The ARM64 vDSO will need to be
updated to include the sub-nanosecond xtime_nsec values in its
calculation for this issue to be completely fixed.

In tests, which excercise switching of clocksources, a NULL
pointer dereference can be observed on AMR64 platforms in the
clocksource read() function:
u64 clocksource_mmio_readl_down(struct clocksource *c)
{
return ~(u64)readl_relaxed(to_mmio_clksrc(c)->reg) & c->mask;
}
This is called from the core timekeeping code via:
cycle_now = tkr->read(tkr->clock);
tkr->read is the cached tkr->clock->read() function pointer.
When the clocksource is changed then tkr->clock and tkr->read
are updated sequentially. The code above results in a sequential
load operation of tkr->read and tkr->clock as well.
If the store to tkr->clock hits between the loads of tkr->read
and tkr->clock, then the old read() function is called with the
new clock pointer. As a consequence the read() function
dereferences a different data structure and the resulting 'reg'
pointer can point anywhere including NULL.
This problem was introduced when the timekeeping code was
switched over to use struct tk_read_base. Before that, it was
theoretically possible as well when the compiler decided to
reload clock in the code sequence:
now = tk->clock->read(tk->clock);
Add a helper function which avoids the issue by reading
tk_read_base->clock once into a local variable clk and then issue
the read function via clk->read(clk). This guarantees that the
read() function always gets the proper clocksource pointer handed
in.
Since there is now no use for the tkr.read pointer, this patch
also removes it, and to address stopping the fast timekeeper
during suspend/resume, it introduces a dummy clocksource to use
rather then just a dummy read function.

This problem has existed since the posix timer code was merged into
2.5.63. A few releases earlier in 2.5.60 ptrace gained the ability to
inject not just a signal (which linux has supported since 1.0) but the
full siginfo of a signal.
The core problem is that the code will reschedule in response to
signals getting dequeued not just for signals the timers sent but
for other signals that happen to a si_code of SI_TIMER.
Avoid this confusion by testing to see if the queued signal was
preallocated as all timer signals are preallocated, and so far
only the timer code preallocates signals.
Move the check for if a timer needs to be rescheduled up into
collect_signal where the preallocation check must be performed,
and pass the result back to dequeue_signal where the code reschedules
timers. This makes it clear why the code cares about preallocated
timers.

idle_task_exit() can be called with IRQs on x86 on and therefore
should use switch_mm(), not switch_mm_irqs_off().
This doesn't seem to cause any problems right now, but it will
confuse my upcoming TLB flush changes. Nonetheless, I think it
should be backported because it's trivial. There won't be any
meaningful performance impact because idle_task_exit() is only
used when offlining a CPU.

Linu Cherian reported a WARN in cleanup_srcu_struct() when shutting
down a guest running iperf on a VFIO assigned device. This happens
because irqfd_wakeup() calls srcu_read_lock(&kvm->irq_srcu) in interrupt
context, while a worker thread does the same inside kvm_set_irq(). If the
interrupt happens while the worker thread is executing __srcu_read_lock(),
updates to the Classic SRCU ->lock_count[] field or the Tree SRCU
->srcu_lock_count[] field can be lost.
The docs say you are not supposed to call srcu_read_lock() and
srcu_read_unlock() from irq context, but KVM interrupt injection happens
from (host) interrupt context and it would be nice if SRCU supported the
use case. KVM is using SRCU here not really for the "sleepable" part,
but rather due to its IPI-free fast detection of grace periods. It is
therefore not desirable to switch back to RCU, which would effectively
revert commit 719d93cd5f ("kvm/irqchip: Speed up KVM_SET_GSI_ROUTING",
2014-01-16).
However, the docs are overly conservative. You can have an SRCU instance
only has users in irq context, and you can mix process and irq context
as long as process context users disable interrupts. In addition,
__srcu_read_unlock() actually uses this_cpu_dec() on both Tree SRCU and
Classic SRCU. For those two implementations, only srcu_read_lock()
is unsafe.
When Classic SRCU's __srcu_read_unlock() was changed to use this_cpu_dec(),
in commit 5a41344a3d ("srcu: Simplify __srcu_read_unlock() via
this_cpu_dec()", 2012-11-29), __srcu_read_lock() did two increments.
Therefore it kept __this_cpu_inc(), with preempt_disable/enable in
the caller. Tree SRCU however only does one increment, so on most
architectures it is more efficient for __srcu_read_lock() to use
this_cpu_inc(), and any performance differences appear to be down in
the noise.

therefore not desirable to switch back to RCU, which would effectively
revert commit 719d93cd5f ("kvm/irqchip: Speed up KVM_SET_GSI_ROUTING",
2014-01-16).
However, the docs are overly conservative. You can have an SRCU instance
only has users in irq context, and you can mix process and irq context
as long as process context users disable interrupts. In addition,
__srcu_read_unlock() actually uses this_cpu_dec() on both Tree SRCU and
Classic SRCU. For those two implementations, only srcu_read_lock()
is unsafe.
When Classic SRCU's __srcu_read_unlock() was changed to use this_cpu_dec(),
in commit 5a41344a3d ("srcu: Simplify __srcu_read_unlock() via
this_cpu_dec()", 2012-11-29), __srcu_read_lock() did two increments.
Therefore it kept __this_cpu_inc(), with preempt_disable/enable in
the caller. Tree SRCU however only does one increment, so on most
architectures it is more efficient for __srcu_read_lock() to use
this_cpu_inc(), and any performance differences appear to be down in
the noise.
Unlike Classic and Tree SRCU, Tiny SRCU does increments and decrements on
a single variable. Therefore, as Peter Zijlstra pointed out, Tiny SRCU's
implementation already supports mixed-context use of srcu_read_lock()
and srcu_read_unlock(), at least as long as uses of srcu_read_lock()
and srcu_read_unlock() in each handler are nested and paired properly.
In other words, it is still illegal to (say) invoke srcu_read_lock()
in an interrupt handler and to invoke the matching srcu_read_unlock()
in a softirq handler. Therefore, the only change required for Tiny SRCU
is to its comments.

This reverts commit cf39bf58af.
The commit regression to users that define both console=ttyS1
and console=ttyS0 on the command line, see
https://lkml.kernel.org/r/20170509082915.GA13236@bistromath.localdomain
The kernel log messages always appeared only on one serial port. It is
even documented in Documentation/admin-guide/serial-console.rst:
"Note that you can only define one console per device type (serial,
video)."
The above mentioned commit changed the order in which the command line
parameters are searched. As a result, the kernel log messages go to
the last mentioned ttyS* instead of the first one.
We long thought that using two console=ttyS* on the command line
did not make sense. But then we realized that console= parameters
were handled also by systemd, see
http://0pointer.de/blog/projects/serial-console.html
"By default systemd will instantiate one serial-getty@.service on
the main kernel console, if it is not a virtual terminal."
where
"[4] If multiple kernel consoles are used simultaneously, the main
console is the one listed first in /sys/class/tty/console/active,
which is the last one listed on the kernel command line."
This puts the original report into another light. The system is running
in qemu. The first serial port is used to store the messages into a file.
The second one is used to login to the system via a socket. It depends
on systemd and the historic kernel behavior.
By other words, systemd causes that it makes sense to define both
console=ttyS1 console=ttyS0 on the command line. The kernel fix
caused regression related to userspace (systemd) and need to be
reverted.
In addition, it went out that the fix helped only partially.
The messages still were duplicated when the boot console was
removed early by late_initcall(printk_late_init). Then the entire
log was replayed when the same console was registered as a normal one.

cpuset: consider dying css as offline
cgroup: Prevent kill_css() from being called more than once
The alarmtimer code has another source of potentially rearming itself too
fast. Interval timers with a very samll interval have a similar CPU hog
effect as the previously fixed overflow issue.
The reason is that alarmtimers do not implement the normal protection
against this kind of problem which the other posix timer use:
timer expires -> queue signal -> deliver signal -> rearm timer
This scheme brings the rearming under scheduler control and prevents
permanently firing timers which hog the CPU.
Bringing this scheme to the alarm timer code is a major overhaul because it
lacks all the necessary mechanisms completely.
So for a quick fix limit the interval to one jiffie. This is not
problematic in practice as alarmtimers are usually backed by an RTC for
suspend which have 1 second resolution. It could be therefor argued that
the resolution of this clock should be set to 1 second in general, but
that's outside the scope of this fix.

Andrey reported a alartimer related RCU stall while fuzzing the kernel with
syzkaller.
The reason for this is an overflow in ktime_add() which brings the
resulting time into negative space and causes immediate expiry of the
timer. The following rearm with a small interval does not bring the timer
back into positive space due to the same issue.
This results in a permanent firing alarmtimer which hogs the CPU.
Use ktime_add_safe() instead which detects the overflow and clamps the
result to KTIME_SEC_MAX.

If TRIM_UNUSED_KSYMS is enabled, all unneeded exported symbols are made
unexported. Two-pass build of the kernel is done to find out which
symbols are needed based on a configuration. This effectively
complicates things for out-of-tree modules.
Livepatch exports functions to (un)register and enable/disable a live
patch. The only in-tree module which uses these functions is a sample in
samples/livepatch/. If the sample is disabled, the functions are
trimmed and out-of-tree live patches cannot be built.
Note that live patches are intended to be built out-of-tree.

trie_alloc() always needs to have BPF_F_NO_PREALLOC passed in via
attr->map_flags, since it does not support preallocation yet. We
check the flag, but we never copy the flag into trie->map.map_flags,
which is later on exposed into fdinfo and used by loaders such as
iproute2. Latter uses this in bpf_map_selfcheck_pinned() to test
whether a pinned map has the same spec as the one from the BPF obj
file and if not, bails out, which is currently the case for lpm
since it exposes always 0 as flags.
Also copy over flags in array_map_alloc() and stack_map_alloc().
They always have to be 0 right now, but we should make sure to not
miss to copy them over at a later point in time when we add actual
flags for them to use.

Currently, when we enforce alignment tracking on direct packet access,
the verifier lets the following program pass despite doing a packet
write with unaligned access:

access when actually walking that path:

misaligned packet access off 2+15+-4 size 4
The reason why we fail to see it in states_equal() is that the
third test in compare_ptrs_to_packet() ...
if (old->off <= cur->off &&
old->off >= old->range && cur->off >= cur->range)
return true;
... will let the above pass. The situation we run into is that
old->off <= cur->off (14 <= 15), meaning that prior walked paths
went with smaller offset, which was later used in the packet
access after successful packet range check and found to be safe
already.
For example: Given is R0=pkt(id=0,off=0,r=0). Adding offset 14
as in above program to it, results in R0=pkt(id=0,off=14,r=0)
before the packet range test. Now, testing this against R3=pkt_end
with 'if r0 > r3 goto out' will transform R0 into R0=pkt(id=0,off=14,r=14)
for the case when we're within bounds. A write into the packet
at offset *(u32 *)(r0 -4), that is, 2 + 14 -4, is valid and
aligned (2 is for NET_IP_ALIGN). After processing this with
all fall-through paths, we later on check paths from branches.
When the above skb->mark test is true, then we jump near the
end of the program, perform r0 += 1, and jump back to the
'if r0 > r3 goto out' test we've visited earlier already. This
time, R0 is of type R0=pkt(id=0,off=15,r=0), and we'll prune
that part because this time we'll have a larger safe packet
range, and we already found that with off=14 all further insn
were already safe, so it's safe as well with a larger off.
However, the problem is that the subsequent write into the packet
with 2 + 15 -4 is then unaligned, and not caught by the alignment
tracking. Note that min_align, aux_off, and aux_off_align were
all 0 in this example.
Since we cannot tell at this time what kind of packet access was
performed in the prior walk and what minimal requirements it has
(we might do so in the future, but that requires more complexity),
fix it to disable this pruning case for strict alignment for now,
and let the verifier do check such paths instead. With that applied,
the test cases pass and reject the program due to misalignment.

In most cases, a cgroup controller don't care about the liftimes of
cgroups. For the controller, a css becomes online when ->css_online()
is called on it and offline when ->css_offline() is called.
However, cpuset is special in that the user interface it exposes cares
whether certain cgroups exist or not. Combined with the RCU delay
between cgroup removal and css offlining, this can lead to user
visible behavior oddities where operations which should succeed after
cgroup removals fail for some time period. The effects of cgroup
removals are delayed when seen from userland.
This patch adds css_is_dying() which tests whether offline is pending
and updates is_cpuset_online() so that the function returns false also
while offline is pending. This gets rid of the userland visible
delays.

ptrace: Properly initialize ptracer_cred on fork
A recent commit added extra printks for CPU/RT limits. This can result in
excessive spam in dmesg.
Make the printks conditional on print_fatal_signals.

When I introduced ptracer_cred I failed to consider the weirdness of
fork where the task_struct copies the old value by default. This
winds up leaving ptracer_cred set even when a process forks and
the child process does not wind up being ptraced.
Because ptracer_cred is not set on non-ptraced processes whose
parents were ptraced this has broken the ability of the enlightenment
window manager to start setuid children.
Fix this by properly initializing ptracer_cred in ptrace_init_task
This must be done with a little bit of care to preserve the current value
of ptracer_cred when ptrace carries through fork. Re-reading the
ptracer_cred from the ptracing process at this point is inconsistent
with how PT_PTRACE_CAP has been maintained all of these years.
