We currently have two levels of strict validation:
1) liberal (default)
- undefined (type >= max) & NLA_UNSPEC attributes accepted
- attribute length >= expected accepted
- garbage at end of message accepted
2) strict (opt-in)
- NLA_UNSPEC attributes accepted
- attribute length >= expected accepted
Split out parsing strictness into four different options:
* TRAILING - check that there's no trailing data after parsing
attributes (in message or nested)
* MAXTYPE - reject attrs > max known type
* UNSPEC - reject attributes with NLA_UNSPEC policy entries
* STRICT_ATTRS - strictly validate attribute size
The default for future things should be *everything*.
The current *_strict() is a combination of TRAILING and MAXTYPE,
and is renamed to _deprecated_strict().
The current regular parsing has none of this, and is renamed to
*_parse_deprecated().
Additionally it allows us to selectively set one of the new flags
even on old policies. Notably, the UNSPEC flag could be useful in
this case, since it can be arranged (by filling in the policy) to
not be an incompatible userspace ABI change, but would then going
forward prevent forgetting attribute entries. Similar can apply
to the POLICY flag.
We end up with the following renames:
* nla_parse -> nla_parse_deprecated
* nla_parse_strict -> nla_parse_deprecated_strict
* nlmsg_parse -> nlmsg_parse_deprecated
* nlmsg_parse_strict -> nlmsg_parse_deprecated_strict
* nla_parse_nested -> nla_parse_nested_deprecated
* nla_validate_nested -> nla_validate_nested_deprecated

For this patch, don't actually add the strict, non-renamed versions
yet so that it breaks compile if I get it wrong.
Also, while at it, make nla_validate and nla_parse go down to a
common __nla_validate_parse() function to avoid code duplication.
Ultimately, this allows us to have very strict validation for every
new caller of nla_parse()/nlmsg_parse() etc as re-introduced in the
next patch, while existing things will continue to work as is.
In effect then, this adds fully strict validation for any new command.

As reported by Guenter Roeck, the new bit-locking using
BIT(1) doesn't work on the m68k architecture. m68k only requires
2-byte alignment for words and longwords, so there is only one
unused bit in pointers to structs - We current use two, one for the
NULLS marker at the end of the linked list, and one for the bit-lock
in the head of the list.
The two uses don't need to conflict as we never need the head of the
list to be a NULLS marker - the marker is only needed to check if an
object has moved to a different table, and the bucket head cannot
move. The NULLS marker is only needed in a ->next pointer.
As we already have different types for the bucket head pointer (struct
rhash_lock_head) and the ->next pointers (struct rhash_head), it is
fairly easy to treat the lsb differently in each.
So: Initialize buckets heads to NULL, and use the lsb for locking.
When loading the pointer from the bucket head, if it is NULL (ignoring
the lock big), report as being the expected NULLS marker.
When storing a value into a bucket head, if it is a NULLS marker,
store NULL instead.
And convert all places that used bit 1 for locking, to use bit 0.

Rather than dereferencing a pointer to a bucket and then passing the
result to rht_ptr(), we now pass in the pointer and do the dereference
in rht_ptr().
This requires that we pass in the tbl and hash as well to support RCU
checks, and means that the various rht_for_each functions can expect a
pointer that can be dereferenced without further care.
There are two places where we dereference a bucket pointer
where there is no testable protection - in each case we know
that we much have exclusive access without having taken a lock.
The previous code used rht_dereference() to pretend that holding
the mutex provided protects, but holding the mutex never provides
protection for accessing buckets.
So instead introduce rht_ptr_exclusive() that can be used when
there is known to be exclusive access without holding any locks.

One of the more common cases of allocation size calculations is finding
the size of a structure that has a zero-sized array at the end, along with
memory for some number of elements for that array. For example:
struct foo {
int stuff;
struct boo entry[];
};
size = sizeof(struct foo) + count * sizeof(struct boo);
instance = kvzalloc(size, GFP_KERNEL);
Instead of leaving these open-coded and prone to type mistakes, we can
now use the new struct_size() helper:
instance = kvzalloc(struct_size(instance, entry, count), GFP_KERNEL);
This code was detected with the help of Coccinelle.

pull-request: bpf-next 2019-04-12
The following pull-request contains BPF updates for your *net-next* tree.
The main changes are:
1) Improve BPF verifier scalability for large programs through two
optimizations: i) remove verifier states that are not useful in pruning,
ii) stop walking parentage chain once first LIVE_READ is seen. Combined
gives approx 20x speedup. Increase limits for accepting large programs
under root, and add various stress tests, from Alexei.
2) Implement global data support in BPF. This enables static global variables
for .data, .rodata and .bss sections to be properly handled which allows
for more natural program development. This also opens up the possibility
to optimize program workflow by compiling ELFs only once and later only
rewriting section data before reload, from Daniel and with test cases and
libbpf refactoring from Joe.
3) Add config option to generate BTF type info for vmlinux as part of the
kernel build process. DWARF debug info is converted via pahole to BTF.
Latter relies on libbpf and makes use of BTF deduplication algorithm which
results in 100x savings compared to DWARF data. Resulting .BTF section is
typically about 2MB in size, from Andrii.
4) Add BPF verifier support for stack access with variable offset from
helpers and add various test cases along with it, from Andrey.
5) Extend bpf_skb_adjust_room() growth BPF helper to mark inner MAC header
so that L2 encapsulation can be used for tc tunnels, from Alan.
6) Add support for input __sk_buff context in BPF_PROG_TEST_RUN so that
users can define a subset of allowed __sk_buff fields that get fed into
the test program, from Stanislav.
7) Add bpf fs multi-dimensional array tests for BTF test suite and fix up
various UBSAN warnings in bpftool, from Yonghong.
8) Generate a pkg-config file for libbpf, from Luca.
9) Dump program's BTF id in bpftool, from Prashant.
10) libbpf fix to use smaller BPF log buffer size for AF_XDP's XDP
program, from Magnus.

Native bit_spin_locks are not tracked by lockdep.
The bit_spin_locks used for rhashtable buckets are local
to the rhashtable implementation, so there is little opportunity
for the sort of misuse that lockdep might detect.
However locks are held while a hash function or compare
function is called, and if one of these took a lock,
a misbehaviour is possible.
As it is quite easy to add lockdep support this unlikely
possibility seems to be enough justification.
So create a lockdep class for bucket bit_spin_lock and attach
through a lockdep_map in each bucket_table.
Without the 'nested' annotation in rhashtable_rehash_one(), lockdep
correctly reports a possible problem as this lock is taken
while another bucket lock (in another table) is held. This
confirms that the added support works.
With the correct nested annotation in place, lockdep reports
no problems.

This patch changes rhashtables to use a bit_spin_lock on BIT(1) of the
bucket pointer to lock the hash chain for that bucket.
The benefits of a bit spin_lock are:
- no need to allocate a separate array of locks.
- no need to have a configuration option to guide the
choice of the size of this array
- locking cost is often a single test-and-set in a cache line
that will have to be loaded anyway. When inserting at, or removing
from, the head of the chain, the unlock is free - writing the new
address in the bucket head implicitly clears the lock bit.
For __rhashtable_insert_fast() we ensure this always happens
when adding a new key.
- even when lockings costs 2 updates (lock and unlock), they are
in a cacheline that needs to be read anyway.
The cost of using a bit spin_lock is a little bit of code complexity,
which I think is quite manageable.
Bit spin_locks are sometimes inappropriate because they are not fair -
if multiple CPUs repeatedly contend of the same lock, one CPU can
easily be starved. This is not a credible situation with rhashtable.
Multiple CPUs may want to repeatedly add or remove objects, but they
will typically do so at different buckets, so they will attempt to
acquire different locks.
As we have more bit-locks than we previously had spinlocks (by at
least a factor of two) we can expect slightly less contention to
go with the slightly better cache behavior and reduced memory
consumption.
To enhance type checking, a new struct is introduced to represent the
pointer plus lock-bit
that is stored in the bucket-table. This is "struct rhash_lock_head"
and is empty. A pointer to this needs to be cast to either an
unsigned lock, or a "struct rhash_head *" to be useful.
Variables of this type are most often called "bkt".
Previously "pprev" would sometimes point to a bucket, and sometimes a
->next pointer in an rhash_head. As these are now different types,
pprev is NULL when it would have pointed to the bucket. In that case,
'blk' is used, together with correct locking protocol.

Rather than returning a pointer to a static nulls, rht_bucket_var()
now returns NULL if the bucket doesn't exist.
This will make the next patch, which stores a bitlock in the
bucket pointer, somewhat cleaner.
This change involves introducing __rht_bucket_nested() which is
like rht_bucket_nested(), but doesn't provide the static nulls,
and changing rht_bucket_nested() to call this and possible
provide a static nulls - as is still needed for the non-var case.

nested_table_alloc() relies on the fact that there is
at most one spinlock allocated for every slot in the top
level nested table, so it is not possible for two threads
to try to allocate the same table at the same time.
This assumption is a little fragile (it is not explicit) and is
unnecessary as cmpxchg() can be used instead.
A future patch will replace the spinlocks by per-bucket bitlocks,
and then we won't be able to protect the slot pointer with a spinlock.
So replace rcu_assign_pointer() with cmpxchg() - which has equivalent
barrier properties.
If it the cmp fails, free the table that was just allocated.

A recent optimization in Clang (r355672) lowers comparisons of the
return value of memcmp against zero to comparisons of the return value
of bcmp against zero. This helps some platforms that implement bcmp
more efficiently than memcmp. glibc simply aliases bcmp to memcmp, but
an optimized implementation is in the works.
This results in linkage failures for all targets with Clang due to the
undefined symbol. For now, just implement bcmp as a tailcail to memcmp
to unbreak the build. This routine can be further optimized in the
future.
Other ideas discussed:
* A weak alias was discussed, but breaks for architectures that define
their own implementations of memcmp since aliases to declarations are
not permitted (only definitions). Arch-specific memcmp
implementations typically declare memcmp in C headers, but implement
them in assembly.
* -ffreestanding also is used sporadically throughout the kernel.
* -fno-builtin-bcmp doesn't work when doing LTO.

task_current_syscall() has a single user that passes in 6 for maxargs, which
is the maximum arguments that can be used to get system calls from
syscall_get_arguments(). Instead of passing in a number of arguments to
grab, just get 6 arguments. The args argument even specifies that it's an
array of 6 items.
This will also allow changing syscall_get_arguments() to not get a variable
number of arguments, but always grab 6.
Linus also suggested not passing in a bunch of arguments to
task_current_syscall() but to instead pass in a pointer to a structure, and
just fill the structure. struct seccomp_data has almost all the parameters
that is needed except for the stack pointer (sp). As seccomp_data is part of
uapi, and I'm afraid to change it, a new structure was created
"syscall_info", which includes seccomp_data and adds the "sp" field.

This patch adds new config option to trigger generation of BTF type
information from DWARF debuginfo for vmlinux and kernel modules through
pahole, which in turn relies on libbpf for btf_dedup() algorithm.
The intent is to record compact type information of all types used
inside kernel, including all the structs/unions/typedefs/etc. This
enables BPF's compile-once-run-everywhere ([0]) approach, in which
tracing programs that are inspecting kernel's internal data (e.g.,
struct task_struct) can be compiled on a system running some kernel
version, but would be possible to run on other kernel versions (and
configurations) without recompilation, even if the layout of structs
changed and/or some of the fields were added, removed, or renamed.
This is only possible if BPF loader can get kernel type info to adjust
all the offsets correctly. This patch is a first time in this direction,
making sure that BTF type info is part of Linux kernel image in
non-loadable ELF section.
BTF deduplication ([1]) algorithm typically provides 100x savings
compared to DWARF data, so resulting .BTF section is not big as is
typically about 2MB in size.

The pattern set by list.h is that for_each..continue()
iterators start at the next entry after the given one,
while for_each..from() iterators start at the given
entry.
The rht_for_each*continue() iterators are documented as though the
start at the 'next' entry, but actually start at the given entry,
and they are used expecting that behaviour.
So fix the documentation and change the names to *from for consistency
with list.h

rhashtable_try_insert() currently holds a lock on the bucket in
the first table, while also locking buckets in subsequent tables.
This is unnecessary and looks like a hold-over from some earlier
version of the implementation.
As insert and remove always lock a bucket in each table in turn, and
as insert only inserts in the final table, there cannot be any races
that are not covered by simply locking a bucket in each table in turn.
When an insert call reaches that last table it can be sure that there
is no matchinf entry in any other table as it has searched them all, and
insertion never happens anywhere but in the last table. The fact that
code tests for the existence of future_tbl while holding a lock on
the relevant bucket ensures that two threads inserting the same key
will make compatible decisions about which is the "last" table.
This simplifies the code and allows the ->rehash field to be
discarded.
We still need a way to ensure that a dead bucket_table is never
re-linked by rhashtable_walk_stop(). This can be achieved by calling
call_rcu() inside the locked region, and checking with
rcu_head_after_call_rcu() in rhashtable_walk_stop() to see if the
bucket table is empty and dead.

As it stands if a shrink is delayed because of an outstanding
rehash, we will go into a rescheduling loop without ever doing
the rehash.
This patch fixes this by still carrying out the rehash and then
rescheduling so that we can shrink after the completion of the
rehash should it still be necessary.
The return value of EEXIST captures this case and other cases
(e.g., another thread expanded/rehashed the table at the same
time) where we should still proceed with the rehash.

Currently, the Kbuild core manipulates header search paths in a crazy
way [1].
To fix this mess, I want all Makefiles to add explicit $(srctree)/ to
the search paths in the srctree. Some Makefiles are already written in
that way, but not all. The goal of this work is to make the notation
consistent, and finally get rid of the gross hacks.
Having whitespaces after -I does not matter since commit 48f6e3cf5b
("kbuild: do not drop -I without parameter").

Very simple radix tree implementation that supports storing arbitrary
size entries, up to PAGE_SIZE - upcoming patches will convert existing
flex_array users to genradixes. The new genradix code has a much
simpler API and implementation, and doesn't have a hard limit on the
number of elements like flex_array does.

Patch series "lib/lzo: run-length encoding support", v5.
Following on from the previous lzo-rle patchset:
https://lkml.org/lkml/2018/11/30/972
This patchset contains only the RLE patches, and should be applied on
top of the non-RLE patches ( https://lkml.org/lkml/2019/2/5/366 ).
Previously, some questions were raised around the RLE patches. I've
done some additional benchmarking to answer these questions. In short:
- RLE offers significant additional performance (data-dependent)
- I didn't measure any regressions that were clearly outside the noise
One concern with this patchset was around performance - specifically,
measuring RLE impact separately from Matt Sealey's patches (CTZ & fast
copy). I have done some additional benchmarking which I hope clarifies
the benefits of each part of the patchset.
Firstly, I've captured some memory via /dev/fmem from a Chromebook with
many tabs open which is starting to swap, and then split this into 4178
4k pages. I've excluded the all-zero pages (as zram does), and also the
no-zero pages (which won't tell us anything about RLE performance).
This should give a realistic test dataset for zram. What I found was
that the data is VERY bimodal: 44% of pages in this dataset contain 5%
or fewer zeros, and 44% contain over 90% zeros (30% if you include the
no-zero pages). This supports the idea of special-casing zeros in zram.
Next, I've benchmarked four variants of lzo on these pages (on 64-bit
Arm at max frequency): baseline LZO; baseline + Matt Sealey's patches
(aka MS); baseline + RLE only; baseline + MS + RLE. Numbers are for
weighted roundtrip throughput (the weighting reflects that zram does
more compression than decompression).
https://drive.google.com/file/d/1VLtLjRVxgUNuWFOxaGPwJYhl_hMQXpHe/view?usp=sharing
Matt's patches help in all cases for Arm (and no effect on Intel), as
expected.
RLE also behaves as expected: with few zeros present, it makes no
difference; above ~75%, it gives a good improvement (50 - 300 MB/s on
top of the benefit from Matt's patches).
Best performance is seen with both MS and RLE patches.
Finally, I have benchmarked the same dataset on an x86-64 device. Here,
the MS patches make no difference (as expected); RLE helps, similarly as
on Arm. There were no definite regressions; allowing for observational
error, 0.1% (3/4178) of cases had a regression > 1 standard deviation,
of which the largest was 4.6% (1.2 standard deviations). I think this
is probably within the noise.
https://drive.google.com/file/d/1xCUVwmiGD0heEMx5gcVEmLBI4eLaageV/view?usp=sharing
One point to note is that the graphs show RLE appears to help very
slightly with no zeros present! This is because the extra code causes
the clang optimiser to change code layout in a way that happens to have
a significant benefit. Taking baseline LZO and adding a do-nothing line
like "__builtin_prefetch(out_len);" immediately before the "goto next"
has the same effect. So this is a real, but basically spurious effect -
it's small enough not to upset the overall findings.
This patch (of 3):
When using zram, we frequently encounter long runs of zero bytes. This
adds a special case which identifies runs of zeros and encodes them
using run-length encoding.
This is faster for both compression and decompresion. For high-entropy
data which doesn't hit this case, impact is minimal.
Compression ratio is within a few percent in all cases.
This modifies the bitstream in a way which is backwards compatible
(i.e., we can decompress old bitstreams, but old versions of lzo cannot
decompress new bitstreams).
