Compiles debug level messages into the kernel, which would not

otherwise be available at runtime. These messages can then be
|

|
enabled/disabled based on various levels of scope - per source file,
|
|
|
|
function, module, format string, and line number. This mechanism
|
|
|
|
implicitly compiles in all pr_debug() and dev_dbg() calls, which
|
|
|
|
enlarges the kernel text size by about 2%.
|
|
|

If a source file is compiled with DEBUG flag set, any
|
|

pr_debug() calls in it are enabled by default, but can be

|
|
Usage:
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
Dynamic debugging is controlled via the 'dynamic_debug/control' file,
|
|
|
|
which is contained in the 'debugfs' filesystem. Thus, the debugfs
|
|
|
|
filesystem must first be mounted before making use of this feature.
|
|
|
|
We refer the control file as: <debugfs>/dynamic_debug/control. This
|
|
|
|
file contains a list of the debug statements that can be enabled. The
|
|
|
|
format for each line of the file is:
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
filename:lineno [module]function flags format
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
filename : source file of the debug statement
|
|
|
|
lineno : line number of the debug statement
|
|
|
|
module : module that contains the debug statement
|
|
|
|
function : function that contains the debug statement
|
|
|
|
flags : '=p' means the line is turned 'on' for printing
|
|
|
|
format : the format used for the debug statement
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
From a live system:
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
nullarbor:~ # cat <debugfs>/dynamic_debug/control
|
|
|
|
# filename:lineno [module]function flags format

kasan: rework Kconfig settings
We get a lot of very large stack frames using gcc-7.0.1 with the default
-fsanitize-address-use-after-scope --param asan-stack=1 options, which can
easily cause an overflow of the kernel stack, e.g.
drivers/gpu/drm/i915/gvt/handlers.c:2434:1: warning: the frame size of 46176 bytes is larger than 3072 bytes
drivers/net/wireless/ralink/rt2x00/rt2800lib.c:5650:1: warning: the frame size of 23632 bytes is larger than 3072 bytes
lib/atomic64_test.c:250:1: warning: the frame size of 11200 bytes is larger than 3072 bytes
drivers/gpu/drm/i915/gvt/handlers.c:2621:1: warning: the frame size of 9208 bytes is larger than 3072 bytes
drivers/media/dvb-frontends/stv090x.c:3431:1: warning: the frame size of 6816 bytes is larger than 3072 bytes
fs/fscache/stats.c:287:1: warning: the frame size of 6536 bytes is larger than 3072 bytes
To reduce this risk, -fsanitize-address-use-after-scope is now split out
into a separate CONFIG_KASAN_EXTRA Kconfig option, leading to stack
frames that are smaller than 2 kilobytes most of the time on x86_64. An
earlier version of this patch also prevented combining KASAN_EXTRA with
KASAN_INLINE, but that is no longer necessary with gcc-7.0.1.
All patches to get the frame size below 2048 bytes with CONFIG_KASAN=y
and CONFIG_KASAN_EXTRA=n have been merged by maintainers now, so we can
bring back that default now. KASAN_EXTRA=y still causes lots of
warnings but now defaults to !COMPILE_TEST to disable it in
allmodconfig, and it remains disabled in all other defconfigs since it
is a new option. I arbitrarily raise the warning limit for KASAN_EXTRA
to 3072 to reduce the noise, but an allmodconfig kernel still has around
50 warnings on gcc-7.
I experimented a bit more with smaller stack frames and have another
follow-up series that reduces the warning limit for 64-bit architectures
to 1280 bytes (without CONFIG_KASAN).
With earlier versions of this patch series, I also had patches to address
the warnings we get with KASAN and/or KASAN_EXTRA, using a
"noinline_if_stackbloat" annotation.
That annotation now got replaced with a gcc-8 bugfix (see
https://gcc.gnu.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=81715) and a workaround for
older compilers, which means that KASAN_EXTRA is now just as bad as
before and will lead to an instant stack overflow in a few extreme
cases.
This reverts parts of commit 3f181b4d8652 ("lib/Kconfig.debug: disable
-Wframe-larger-than warnings with KASAN=y"). Two patches in linux-next
should be merged first to avoid introducing warnings in an allmodconfig
build:
3cd890dbe2a4 ("media: dvb-frontends: fix i2c access helpers for KASAN")
16c3ada89cff ("media: r820t: fix r820t_write_reg for KASAN")
Do we really need to backport this?
I think we do: without this patch, enabling KASAN will lead to
unavoidable kernel stack overflow in certain device drivers when built
with gcc-7 or higher on linux-4.10+ or any version that contains a
backport of commit c5caf21ab0cf8. Most people are probably still on
older compilers, but it will get worse over time as they upgrade their
distros.
The warnings we get on kernels older than this should all be for code
that uses dangerously large stack frames, though most of them do not
cause an actual stack overflow by themselves.The asan-stack option was
added in linux-4.0, and commit 3f181b4d8652 ("lib/Kconfig.debug:
disable -Wframe-larger-than warnings with KASAN=y") effectively turned
off the warning for allmodconfig kernels, so I would like to see this
fix backported to any kernels later than 4.0.
I have done dozens of fixes for individual functions with stack frames
larger than 2048 bytes with asan-stack, and I plan to make sure that
all those fixes make it into the stable kernels as well (most are
already there).
Part of the complication here is that asan-stack (from 4.0) was
originally assumed to always require much larger stacks, but that
turned out to be a combination of multiple gcc bugs that we have now
worked around and fixed, but sanitize-address-use-after-scope (from
v4.10) has a much higher inherent stack usage and also suffers from at
least three other problems that we have analyzed but not yet fixed
upstream, each of them makes the stack usage more severe than it should
be.

Unused but exported symbols make the kernel needlessly bigger. For
|
|
|
|
that reason most of these unused exports will soon be removed. This
|
|
|
|
option is provided temporarily to provide a transition period in case
|
|
|
|
some external kernel module needs one of these symbols anyway. If you
|
|
|
|
encounter such a case in your module, consider if you are actually
|
|
|
|
using the right API. (rationale: since nobody in the kernel is using
|
|
|
|
this in a module, there is a pretty good chance it's actually the
|
|
|
|
wrong interface to use). If you really need the symbol, please send a
|
|
|
|
mail to the linux kernel mailing list mentioning the symbol and why
|
|
|
|
you really need it, and what the merge plan to the mainline kernel for
|
|
|
|
your module is.

mm/page_owner: keep track of page owners
This is the page owner tracking code which is introduced so far ago. It
is resident on Andrew's tree, though, nobody tried to upstream so it
remain as is. Our company uses this feature actively to debug memory leak
or to find a memory hogger so I decide to upstream this feature.
This functionality help us to know who allocates the page. When
allocating a page, we store some information about allocation in extra
memory. Later, if we need to know status of all pages, we can get and
analyze it from this stored information.
In previous version of this feature, extra memory is statically defined in
struct page, but, in this version, extra memory is allocated outside of
struct page. It enables us to turn on/off this feature at boottime
without considerable memory waste.
Although we already have tracepoint for tracing page allocation/free,
using it to analyze page owner is rather complex. We need to enlarge the
trace buffer for preventing overlapping until userspace program launched.
And, launched program continually dump out the trace buffer for later
analysis and it would change system behaviour with more possibility rather
than just keeping it in memory, so bad for debug.
Moreover, we can use page_owner feature further for various purposes. For
example, we can use it for fragmentation statistics implemented in this
patch. And, I also plan to implement some CMA failure debugging feature
using this interface.
I'd like to give the credit for all developers contributed this feature,
but, it's not easy because I don't know exact history. Sorry about that.

mm/page_owner: use stackdepot to store stacktrace
Currently, we store each page's allocation stacktrace on corresponding
page_ext structure and it requires a lot of memory. This causes the
problem that memory tight system doesn't work well if page_owner is
enabled. Moreover, even with this large memory consumption, we cannot
get full stacktrace because we allocate memory at boot time and just
maintain 8 stacktrace slots to balance memory consumption. We could
increase it to more but it would make system unusable or change system
behaviour.
To solve the problem, this patch uses stackdepot to store stacktrace.
It obviously provides memory saving but there is a drawback that
stackdepot could fail.
stackdepot allocates memory at runtime so it could fail if system has
not enough memory. But, most of allocation stack are generated at very
early time and there are much memory at this time. So, failure would
not happen easily. And, one failure means that we miss just one page's
allocation stacktrace so it would not be a big problem. In this patch,
when memory allocation failure happens, we store special stracktrace
handle to the page that is failed to save stacktrace. With it, user can
guess memory usage properly even if failure happens.
Memory saving looks as following. (4GB memory system with page_owner)
(before the patch -> after the patch)
static allocation:
92274688 bytes -> 25165824 bytes
dynamic allocation after boot + kernel build:
0 bytes -> 327680 bytes
total:
92274688 bytes -> 25493504 bytes
72% reduction in total.
Note that implementation looks complex than someone would imagine
because there is recursion issue. stackdepot uses page allocator and
page_owner is called at page allocation. Using stackdepot in page_owner
could re-call page allcator and then page_owner. That is a recursion.
To detect and avoid it, whenever we obtain stacktrace, recursion is
checked and page_owner is set to dummy information if found. Dummy
information means that this page is allocated for page_owner feature
itself (such as stackdepot) and it's understandable behavior for user.

additional steps to occur:

- Add the option -fno-inline-functions-called-once to gcc commands.

When inlining a function annotated with __init in a non-init

kasan: add kernel address sanitizer infrastructure
Kernel Address sanitizer (KASan) is a dynamic memory error detector. It
provides fast and comprehensive solution for finding use-after-free and
out-of-bounds bugs.
KASAN uses compile-time instrumentation for checking every memory access,
therefore GCC > v4.9.2 required. v4.9.2 almost works, but has issues with
putting symbol aliases into the wrong section, which breaks kasan
instrumentation of globals.
This patch only adds infrastructure for kernel address sanitizer. It's
not available for use yet. The idea and some code was borrowed from [1].
Basic idea:
The main idea of KASAN is to use shadow memory to record whether each byte
of memory is safe to access or not, and use compiler's instrumentation to
check the shadow memory on each memory access.
Address sanitizer uses 1/8 of the memory addressable in kernel for shadow
memory and uses direct mapping with a scale and offset to translate a
memory address to its corresponding shadow address.
Here is function to translate address to corresponding shadow address:
unsigned long kasan_mem_to_shadow(unsigned long addr)
{
return (addr >> KASAN_SHADOW_SCALE_SHIFT) + KASAN_SHADOW_OFFSET;
}
where KASAN_SHADOW_SCALE_SHIFT = 3.
So for every 8 bytes there is one corresponding byte of shadow memory.
The following encoding used for each shadow byte: 0 means that all 8 bytes
of the corresponding memory region are valid for access; k (1 <= k <= 7)
means that the first k bytes are valid for access, and other (8 - k) bytes
are not; Any negative value indicates that the entire 8-bytes are
inaccessible. Different negative values used to distinguish between
different kinds of inaccessible memory (redzones, freed memory) (see
mm/kasan/kasan.h).
To be able to detect accesses to bad memory we need a special compiler.
Such compiler inserts a specific function calls (__asan_load*(addr),
__asan_store*(addr)) before each memory access of size 1, 2, 4, 8 or 16.
These functions check whether memory region is valid to access or not by
checking corresponding shadow memory. If access is not valid an error
printed.
Historical background of the address sanitizer from Dmitry Vyukov:
"We've developed the set of tools, AddressSanitizer (Asan),
ThreadSanitizer and MemorySanitizer, for user space. We actively use
them for testing inside of Google (continuous testing, fuzzing,
running prod services). To date the tools have found more than 10'000
scary bugs in Chromium, Google internal codebase and various
open-source projects (Firefox, OpenSSL, gcc, clang, ffmpeg, MySQL and
lots of others): [2] [3] [4].
The tools are part of both gcc and clang compilers.
We have not yet done massive testing under the Kernel AddressSanitizer
(it's kind of chicken and egg problem, you need it to be upstream to
start applying it extensively). To date it has found about 50 bugs.
Bugs that we've found in upstream kernel are listed in [5].
We've also found ~20 bugs in out internal version of the kernel. Also
people from Samsung and Oracle have found some.
[...]
As others noted, the main feature of AddressSanitizer is its
performance due to inline compiler instrumentation and simple linear
shadow memory. User-space Asan has ~2x slowdown on computational
programs and ~2x memory consumption increase. Taking into account that
kernel usually consumes only small fraction of CPU and memory when
running real user-space programs, I would expect that kernel Asan will
have ~10-30% slowdown and similar memory consumption increase (when we
finish all tuning).
I agree that Asan can well replace kmemcheck. We have plans to start
working on Kernel MemorySanitizer that finds uses of unitialized
memory. Asan+Msan will provide feature-parity with kmemcheck. As
others noted, Asan will unlikely replace debug slab and pagealloc that
can be enabled at runtime. Asan uses compiler instrumentation, so even
if it is disabled, it still incurs visible overheads.
Asan technology is easily portable to other architectures. Compiler
instrumentation is fully portable. Runtime has some arch-dependent
parts like shadow mapping and atomic operation interception. They are
relatively easy to port."
Comparison with other debugging features:
========================================
KMEMCHECK:
- KASan can do almost everything that kmemcheck can. KASan uses
compile-time instrumentation, which makes it significantly faster than
kmemcheck. The only advantage of kmemcheck over KASan is detection of
uninitialized memory reads.
Some brief performance testing showed that kasan could be
x500-x600 times faster than kmemcheck:
$ netperf -l 30
MIGRATED TCP STREAM TEST from 0.0.0.0 (0.0.0.0) port 0 AF_INET to localhost (127.0.0.1) port 0 AF_INET
Recv Send Send
Socket Socket Message Elapsed
Size Size Size Time Throughput
bytes bytes bytes secs. 10^6bits/sec
no debug: 87380 16384 16384 30.00 41624.72
kasan inline: 87380 16384 16384 30.00 12870.54
kasan outline: 87380 16384 16384 30.00 10586.39
kmemcheck: 87380 16384 16384 30.03 20.23
- Also kmemcheck couldn't work on several CPUs. It always sets
number of CPUs to 1. KASan doesn't have such limitation.
DEBUG_PAGEALLOC:
- KASan is slower than DEBUG_PAGEALLOC, but KASan works on sub-page
granularity level, so it able to find more bugs.
SLUB_DEBUG (poisoning, redzones):
- SLUB_DEBUG has lower overhead than KASan.
- SLUB_DEBUG in most cases are not able to detect bad reads,
KASan able to detect both reads and writes.
- In some cases (e.g. redzone overwritten) SLUB_DEBUG detect
bugs only on allocation/freeing of object. KASan catch
bugs right before it will happen, so we always know exact
place of first bad read/write.

kernel: add kcov code coverage
kcov provides code coverage collection for coverage-guided fuzzing
(randomized testing). Coverage-guided fuzzing is a testing technique
that uses coverage feedback to determine new interesting inputs to a
system. A notable user-space example is AFL
(http://lcamtuf.coredump.cx/afl/). However, this technique is not
widely used for kernel testing due to missing compiler and kernel
support.
kcov does not aim to collect as much coverage as possible. It aims to
collect more or less stable coverage that is function of syscall inputs.
To achieve this goal it does not collect coverage in soft/hard
interrupts and instrumentation of some inherently non-deterministic or
non-interesting parts of kernel is disbled (e.g. scheduler, locking).
Currently there is a single coverage collection mode (tracing), but the
API anticipates additional collection modes. Initially I also
implemented a second mode which exposes coverage in a fixed-size hash
table of counters (what Quentin used in his original patch). I've
dropped the second mode for simplicity.
This patch adds the necessary support on kernel side. The complimentary
compiler support was added in gcc revision 231296.
We've used this support to build syzkaller system call fuzzer, which has
found 90 kernel bugs in just 2 months:
https://github.com/google/syzkaller/wiki/Found-Bugs
We've also found 30+ bugs in our internal systems with syzkaller.
Another (yet unexplored) direction where kcov coverage would greatly
help is more traditional "blob mutation". For example, mounting a
random blob as a filesystem, or receiving a random blob over wire.
Why not gcov. Typical fuzzing loop looks as follows: (1) reset
coverage, (2) execute a bit of code, (3) collect coverage, repeat. A
typical coverage can be just a dozen of basic blocks (e.g. an invalid
input). In such context gcov becomes prohibitively expensive as
reset/collect coverage steps depend on total number of basic
blocks/edges in program (in case of kernel it is about 2M). Cost of
kcov depends only on number of executed basic blocks/edges. On top of
that, kernel requires per-thread coverage because there are always
background threads and unrelated processes that also produce coverage.
With inlined gcov instrumentation per-thread coverage is not possible.
kcov exposes kernel PCs and control flow to user-space which is
insecure. But debugfs should not be mapped as user accessible.

workqueue: implement lockup detector
Workqueue stalls can happen from a variety of usage bugs such as
missing WQ_MEM_RECLAIM flag or concurrency managed work item
indefinitely staying RUNNING. These stalls can be extremely difficult
to hunt down because the usual warning mechanisms can't detect
workqueue stalls and the internal state is pretty opaque.
To alleviate the situation, this patch implements workqueue lockup
detector. It periodically monitors all worker_pools periodically and,
if any pool failed to make forward progress longer than the threshold
duration, triggers warning and dumps workqueue state as follows.
BUG: workqueue lockup - pool cpus=0 node=0 flags=0x0 nice=0 stuck for 31s!
Showing busy workqueues and worker pools:
workqueue events: flags=0x0
pwq 0: cpus=0 node=0 flags=0x0 nice=0 active=17/256
pending: monkey_wrench_fn, e1000_watchdog, cache_reap, vmstat_shepherd, release_one_tty, release_one_tty, release_one_tty, release_one_tty, release_one_tty, release_one_tty, release_one_tty, release_one_tty, release_one_tty, release_one_tty, release_one_tty, release_one_tty, cgroup_release_agent

workqueue cgroup_pidlist_destroy: flags=0x0
pwq 0: cpus=0 node=0 flags=0x0 nice=0 active=1/1
pending: cgroup_pidlist_destroy_work_fn
...
The detection mechanism is controller through kernel parameter
workqueue.watchdog_thresh and can be updated at runtime through the
sysfs module parameter file.
v2: Decoupled from softlockup control knobs.

This feature enables the kernel to prove that all locking
|
|
|
|
that occurs in the kernel runtime is mathematically
|
|
|
|
correct: that under no circumstance could an arbitrary (and
|
|
|
|
not yet triggered) combination of observed locking
|
|
|
|
sequences (on an arbitrary number of CPUs, running an
|
|
|
|
arbitrary number of tasks and interrupt contexts) cause a
|
|
|
|
deadlock.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
In short, this feature enables the kernel to report locking
|
|
|
|
related deadlocks before they actually occur.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
The proof does not depend on how hard and complex a
|
|
|
|
deadlock scenario would be to trigger: how many
|
|
|
|
participant CPUs, tasks and irq-contexts would be needed
|
|
|
|
for it to trigger. The proof also does not depend on
|
|
|
|
timing: if a race and a resulting deadlock is possible
|
|
|
|
theoretically (no matter how unlikely the race scenario
|
|
|
|
is), it will be proven so and will immediately be
|
|
|
|
reported by the kernel (once the event is observed that
|
|
|
|
makes the deadlock theoretically possible).
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
If a deadlock is impossible (i.e. the locking rules, as
|
|
|
|
observed by the kernel, are mathematically correct), the
|
|
|
|
kernel reports nothing.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
NOTE: this feature can also be enabled for rwlocks, mutexes
|
|
|
|
and rwsems - in which case all dependencies between these
|
|
|
|
different locking variants are observed and mapped too, and
|
|
|
|
the proof of observed correctness is also maintained for an
|
|
|
|
arbitrary combination of these separate locking variants.

arch: remove obsolete architecture ports
This removes the entire architecture code for blackfin, cris, frv, m32r,
metag, mn10300, score, and tile, including the associated device drivers.
I have been working with the (former) maintainers for each one to ensure
that my interpretation was right and the code is definitely unused in
mainline kernels. Many had fond memories of working on the respective
ports to start with and getting them included in upstream, but also saw
no point in keeping the port alive without any users.
In the end, it seems that while the eight architectures are extremely
different, they all suffered the same fate: There was one company
in charge of an SoC line, a CPU microarchitecture and a software
ecosystem, which was more costly than licensing newer off-the-shelf
CPU cores from a third party (typically ARM, MIPS, or RISC-V). It seems
that all the SoC product lines are still around, but have not used the
custom CPU architectures for several years at this point. In contrast,
CPU instruction sets that remain popular and have actively maintained
kernel ports tend to all be used across multiple licensees.
The removal came out of a discussion that is now documented at
https://lwn.net/Articles/748074/. Unlike the original plans, I'm not
marking any ports as deprecated but remove them all at once after I made
sure that they are all unused. Some architectures (notably tile, mn10300,
and blackfin) are still being shipped in products with old kernels,
but those products will never be updated to newer kernel releases.
After this series, we still have a few architectures without mainline
gcc support:
- unicore32 and hexagon both have very outdated gcc releases, but the
maintainers promised to work on providing something newer. At least
in case of hexagon, this will only be llvm, not gcc.
- openrisc, risc-v and nds32 are still in the process of finishing their
support or getting it added to mainline gcc in the first place.
They all have patched gcc-7.3 ports that work to some degree, but
complete upstream support won't happen before gcc-8.1. Csky posted
their first kernel patch set last week, their situation will be similar.

of this patch simply had `default y`. I'd really love that, but it turns
out, this problem with unseeded randomness being used is really quite
present and is going to take a long time to fix. Thus, as a compromise

Unfortunately, on some models of some architectures getting

|
|
|
a fully seeded CRNG is extremely difficult, and so this can
|
|
|
|
result in dmesg getting spammed for a surprisingly long
|
|
|
|
time. This is really bad from a security perspective, and
|
|
|
|
so architecture maintainers really need to do what they can
|
|
|
|
to get the CRNG seeded sooner after the system is booted.
|
|
|
|
However, since users can not do anything actionble to
|
|
|
|
address this, by default the kernel will issue only a single
|
|
|
|
warning for the first use of unseeded randomness.

kobjects are reference counted objects. This means that their

last reference count put is not predictable, and the kobject can

live on past the point at which a driver decides to drop it's

initial reference to the kobject gained on allocation. An

example of this would be a struct device which has just been

However, some buggy drivers assume that after such an operation,

goes completely against the principles of a refcounted object.

Conventionally, block device numbers are allocated from

predetermined contiguous area. However, extended block area
|
|
|
|
may introduce non-contiguous block device numbers. This
|
|
|

option forces most block device numbers to be allocated from
|
|
|
|
the extended space and spreads them to discover kernel or

userland code paths which assume predetermined contiguous

device number allocation.

|
|
|
|
If you want to debug problems which hang or crash the kernel early
|
|
|
|
on boot and the crashing machine has a FireWire port, you can use
|
|
|
|
this feature to remotely access the memory of the crashed machine
|
|
|
|
over FireWire. This employs remote DMA as part of the OHCI1394
|
|
|
|
specification which is now the standard for FireWire controllers.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
With remote DMA, you can monitor the printk buffer remotely using
|
|
|
|
firescope and access all memory below 4GB using fireproxy from gdb.
|
|
|
|
Even controlling a kernel debugger is possible using remote DMA.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
Usage:
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
If ohci1394_dma=early is used as boot parameter, it will initialize
|
|
|
|
all OHCI1394 controllers which are found in the PCI config space.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
As all changes to the FireWire bus such as enabling and disabling
|
|
|
|
devices cause a bus reset and thereby disable remote DMA for all
|
|
|
|
devices, be sure to have the cable plugged and FireWire enabled on
|
|
|
|
the debugging host before booting the debug target for debugging.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
This code (~1k) is freed after boot. By then, the firewire stack
|
|
|
|
in charge of the OHCI-1394 controllers should be used instead.

Enable this option to debug the use of the DMA API by device drivers.

were never allocated.
|

|

|
|
This also attempts to catch cases where a page owned by DMA is
|
|

accessed by the cpu in a way that could cause data corruption. For
|
|

example, this enables cow_user_page() to check that the source page is

not undergoing DMA.

rbtree: add prio tree and interval tree tests
Patch 1 implements support for interval trees, on top of the augmented
rbtree API. It also adds synthetic tests to compare the performance of
interval trees vs prio trees. Short answers is that interval trees are
slightly faster (~25%) on insert/erase, and much faster (~2.4 - 3x)
on search. It is debatable how realistic the synthetic test is, and I have
not made such measurements yet, but my impression is that interval trees
would still come out faster.
Patch 2 uses a preprocessor template to make the interval tree generic,
and uses it as a replacement for the vma prio_tree.
Patch 3 takes the other prio_tree user, kmemleak, and converts it to use
a basic rbtree. We don't actually need the augmented rbtree support here
because the intervals are always non-overlapping.
Patch 4 removes the now-unused prio tree library.
Patch 5 proposes an additional optimization to rb_erase_augmented, now
providing it as an inline function so that the augmented callbacks can be
inlined in. This provides an additional 5-10% performance improvement
for the interval tree insert/erase benchmark. There is a maintainance cost
as it exposes augmented rbtree users to some of the rbtree library internals;
however I think this cost shouldn't be too high as I expect the augmented
rbtree will always have much less users than the base rbtree.
I should probably add a quick summary of why I think it makes sense to
replace prio trees with augmented rbtree based interval trees now. One of
the drivers is that we need augmented rbtrees for Rik's vma gap finding
code, and once you have them, it just makes sense to use them for interval
trees as well, as this is the simpler and more well known algorithm. prio
trees, in comparison, seem *too* clever: they impose an additional 'heap'
constraint on the tree, which they use to guarantee a faster worst-case
complexity of O(k+log N) for stabbing queries in a well-balanced prio
tree, vs O(k*log N) for interval trees (where k=number of matches,
N=number of intervals). Now this sounds great, but in practice prio trees
don't realize this theorical benefit. First, the additional constraint
makes them harder to update, so that the kernel implementation has to
simplify things by balancing them like a radix tree, which is not always
ideal. Second, the fact that there are both index and heap properties
makes both tree manipulation and search more complex, which results in a
higher multiplicative time constant. As it turns out, the simple interval
tree algorithm ends up running faster than the more clever prio tree.
This patch:
Add two test modules:
- prio_tree_test measures the performance of lib/prio_tree.c, both for
insertion/removal and for stabbing searches
- interval_tree_test measures the performance of a library of equivalent
functionality, built using the augmented rbtree support.
In order to support the second test module, lib/interval_tree.c is
introduced. It is kept separate from the interval_tree_test main file
for two reasons: first we don't want to provide an unfair advantage
over prio_tree_test by having everything in a single compilation unit,
and second there is the possibility that the interval tree functionality
could get some non-test users in kernel over time.

siphash: add cryptographically secure PRF
SipHash is a 64-bit keyed hash function that is actually a
cryptographically secure PRF, like HMAC. Except SipHash is super fast,
and is meant to be used as a hashtable keyed lookup function, or as a
general PRF for short input use cases, such as sequence numbers or RNG
chaining.
For the first usage:
There are a variety of attacks known as "hashtable poisoning" in which an
attacker forms some data such that the hash of that data will be the
same, and then preceeds to fill up all entries of a hashbucket. This is
a realistic and well-known denial-of-service vector. Currently
hashtables use jhash, which is fast but not secure, and some kind of
rotating key scheme (or none at all, which isn't good). SipHash is meant
as a replacement for jhash in these cases.
There are a modicum of places in the kernel that are vulnerable to
hashtable poisoning attacks, either via userspace vectors or network
vectors, and there's not a reliable mechanism inside the kernel at the
moment to fix it. The first step toward fixing these issues is actually
getting a secure primitive into the kernel for developers to use. Then
we can, bit by bit, port things over to it as deemed appropriate.
While SipHash is extremely fast for a cryptographically secure function,
it is likely a bit slower than the insecure jhash, and so replacements
will be evaluated on a case-by-case basis based on whether or not the
difference in speed is negligible and whether or not the current jhash usage
poses a real security risk.
For the second usage:
A few places in the kernel are using MD5 or SHA1 for creating secure
sequence numbers, syn cookies, port numbers, or fast random numbers.
SipHash is a faster and more fitting, and more secure replacement for MD5
in those situations. Replacing MD5 and SHA1 with SipHash for these uses is
obvious and straight-forward, and so is submitted along with this patch
series. There shouldn't be much of a debate over its efficacy.
Dozens of languages are already using this internally for their hash
tables and PRFs. Some of the BSDs already use this in their kernels.
SipHash is a widely known high-speed solution to a widely known set of
problems, and it's time we catch-up.

test: add minimal module for verification testing
This is a pair of test modules I'd like to see in the tree. Instead of
putting these in lkdtm, where I've been adding various tests that trigger
crashes, these don't make sense there since they need to be either
distinctly separate, or their pass/fail state don't need to crash the
machine.
These live in lib/ for now, along with a few other in-kernel test modules,
and use the slightly more common "test_" naming convention, instead of
"test-". We should likely standardize on the former:
$ find . -name 'test_*.c' | grep -v /tools/ | wc -l
4
$ find . -name 'test-*.c' | grep -v /tools/ | wc -l
2
The first is entirely a no-op module, designed to allow simple testing of
the module loading and verification interface. It's useful to have a
module that has no other uses or dependencies so it can be reliably used
for just testing module loading and verification.
The second is a module that exercises the user memory access functions, in
an effort to make sure that we can quickly catch any regressions in
boundary checking (e.g. like what was recently fixed on ARM).
This patch (of 2):
When doing module loading verification tests (for example, with module
signing, or LSM hooks), it is very handy to have a module that can be
built on all systems under test, isn't auto-loaded at boot, and has no
device or similar dependencies. This creates the "test_module.ko" module
for that purpose, which only reports its load and unload to printk.

bpf_prog_load() stores verifier log into global bpf_log_buf[] array
and BPF_*() macros to build instructions
2.
test stubs configure eBPF infra with 'unspec' map and program types.
These are fake types used by user space testsuite only.

kmod: add test driver to stress test the module loader
This adds a new stress test driver for kmod: the kernel module loader.
The new stress test driver, test_kmod, is only enabled as a module right
now. It should be possible to load this as built-in and load tests
early (refer to the force_init_test module parameter), however since a
lot of test can get a system out of memory fast we leave this disabled
for now.
Using a system with 1024 MiB of RAM can *easily* get your kernel OOM
fast with this test driver.
The test_kmod driver exposes API knobs for us to fine tune simple
request_module() and get_fs_type() calls. Since these API calls only
allow each one parameter a test driver for these is rather simple.
Other factors that can help out test driver though are the number of
calls we issue and knowing current limitations of each. This exposes
configuration as much as possible through userspace to be able to build
tests directly from userspace.
Since it allows multiple misc devices its will eventually (once we add a
knob to let us create new devices at will) also be possible to perform
more tests in parallel, provided you have enough memory.
We only enable tests we know work as of right now.

The following test cases currently fail, as such they are not currently
enabled by default:
# tools/testing/selftests/kmod/kmod.sh -t 0008
# tools/testing/selftests/kmod/kmod.sh -t 0009
To be sure to run them as intended please unload both of the modules:
o test_module
o xfs
And ensure they are not loaded on your system prior to testing them. If
you use these paritions for your rootfs you can change the default test
driver used for get_fs_type() by exporting it into your environment. For
example of other test defaults you can override refer to kmod.sh
allow_user_defaults().
Behind the scenes this is how we fine tune at a test case prior to
hitting a trigger to run it:
cat /sys/devices/virtual/misc/test_kmod0/config
echo -n "2" > /sys/devices/virtual/misc/test_kmod0/config_test_case
echo -n "ext4" > /sys/devices/virtual/misc/test_kmod0/config_test_fs
echo -n "80" > /sys/devices/virtual/misc/test_kmod0/config_num_threads
cat /sys/devices/virtual/misc/test_kmod0/config
echo -n "1" > /sys/devices/virtual/misc/test_kmod0/config_num_threads
Finally to trigger:
echo -n "1" > /sys/devices/virtual/misc/test_kmod0/trigger_config
The kmod.sh script uses the above constructs to build different test cases.
A bit of interpretation of the current failures follows, first two
premises:
a) When request_module() is used userspace figures out an optimized
version of module order for us. Once it finds the modules it needs, as
per depmod symbol dep map, it will finit_module() the respective
modules which are needed for the original request_module() request.
b) We have an optimization in place whereby if a kernel uses
request_module() on a module already loaded we never bother userspace
as the module already is loaded. This is all handled by kernel/kmod.c.
A few things to consider to help identify root causes of issues:
0) kmod 19 has a broken heuristic for modules being assumed to be
built-in to your kernel and will return 0 even though request_module()
failed. Upgrade to a newer version of kmod.
1) A get_fs_type() call for "xfs" will request_module() for "fs-xfs",
not for "xfs". The optimization in kernel described in b) fails to
catch if we have a lot of consecutive get_fs_type() calls. The reason
is the optimization in place does not look for aliases. This means two
consecutive get_fs_type() calls will bump kmod_concurrent, whereas
request_module() will not.
This one explanation why test case 0009 fails at least once for
get_fs_type().
2) If a module fails to load --- for whatever reason (kmod_concurrent
limit reached, file not yet present due to rootfs switch, out of
memory) we have a period of time during which module request for the
same name either with request_module() or get_fs_type() will *also*
fail to load even if the file for the module is ready.
This explains why *multiple* NULLs are possible on test 0009.
3) finit_module() consumes quite a bit of memory.
4) Filesystems typically also have more dependent modules than other
modules, its important to note though that even though a get_fs_type()
call does not incur additional kmod_concurrent bumps, since userspace
loads dependencies it finds it needs via finit_module_fd(), it *will*
take much more memory to load a module with a lot of dependencies.
Because of 3) and 4) we will easily run into out of memory failures with
certain tests. For instance test 0006 fails on qemu with 1024 MiB of RAM.
It panics a box after reaping all userspace processes and still not
having enough memory to reap.

If this option is disabled, you allow userspace (root) access to all
|
|
|
|
of memory, including kernel and userspace memory. Accidental
|
|
|
|
access to this is obviously disastrous, but specific access can
|
|
|
|
be used by people debugging the kernel. Note that with PAT support
|
|
|
|
enabled, even in this case there are restrictions on /dev/mem
|
|
|
|
use due to the cache aliasing requirements.

If this option is switched on, and IO_STRICT_DEVMEM=n, the /dev/mem
|
|
|
|
file only allows userspace access to PCI space and the BIOS code and
|
|
|
|
data regions. This is sufficient for dosemu and X and all common
|
|
|
|
users of /dev/mem.
|
|
|

|
|
|
If in doubt, say Y.

If this option is disabled, you allow userspace (root) access to all
|
|
|
|
io-memory regardless of whether a driver is actively using that
|
|
|
|
range. Accidental access to this is obviously disastrous, but
|
|
|
|
specific access can be used by people debugging kernel drivers.

If this option is switched on, the /dev/mem file only allows
|
2015-11-23 23:49:03 +00:00
|
|
|
userspace access to *idle* io-memory ranges (see /proc/iomem) This
|
|
|
|
may break traditional users of /dev/mem (dosemu, legacy X, etc...)
|
|
|
|
if the driver using a given range cannot be disabled.
