x86: Add check for number of available vectors before CPU down

2014-04-01T23:58:43Z

commit da6139e49c7cb0f4251265cb5243b8d220adb48d upstream. Bugzilla: https://bugzilla.kernel.org/show_bug.cgi?id=64791 When a cpu is downed on a system, the irqs on the cpu are assigned to other cpus. It is possible, however, that when a cpu is downed there aren't enough free vectors on the remaining cpus to account for the vectors from the cpu that is being downed. This results in an interesting "overflow" condition where irqs are "assigned" to a CPU but are not handled. For example, when downing cpus on a 1-64 logical processor system: [ 232.021745] smpboot: CPU 61 is now offline [ 238.480275] smpboot: CPU 62 is now offline [ 245.991080] ------------[ cut here ]------------ [ 245.996270] WARNING: CPU: 0 PID: 0 at net/sched/sch_generic.c:264 dev_watchdog+0x246/0x250() [ 246.005688] NETDEV WATCHDOG: p786p1 (ixgbe): transmit queue 0 timed out [ 246.013070] Modules linked in: lockd sunrpc iTCO_wdt iTCO_vendor_support sb_edac ixgbe microcode e1000e pcspkr joydev edac_core lpc_ich ioatdma ptp mdio mfd_core i2c_i801 dca pps_core i2c_core wmi acpi_cpufreq isci libsas scsi_transport_sas [ 246.037633] CPU: 0 PID: 0 Comm: swapper/0 Not tainted 3.12.0+ #14 [ 246.044451] Hardware name: Intel Corporation S4600LH ........../SVRBD-ROW_T, BIOS SE5C600.86B.01.08.0003.022620131521 02/26/2013 [ 246.057371] 0000000000000009 ffff88081fa03d40 ffffffff8164fbf6 ffff88081fa0ee48 [ 246.065728] ffff88081fa03d90 ffff88081fa03d80 ffffffff81054ecc ffff88081fa13040 [ 246.074073] 0000000000000000 ffff88200cce0000 0000000000000040 0000000000000000 [ 246.082430] Call Trace: [ 246.085174] [] dump_stack+0x46/0x58 [ 246.091633] [] warn_slowpath_common+0x8c/0xc0 [ 246.098352] [] warn_slowpath_fmt+0x46/0x50 [ 246.104786] [] dev_watchdog+0x246/0x250 [ 246.110923] [] ? dev_deactivate_queue.constprop.31+0x80/0x80 [ 246.119097] [] call_timer_fn+0x3a/0x110 [ 246.125224] [] ? update_process_times+0x6f/0x80 [ 246.132137] [] ? dev_deactivate_queue.constprop.31+0x80/0x80 [ 246.140308] [] run_timer_softirq+0x1f0/0x2a0 [ 246.146933] [] __do_softirq+0xe0/0x220 [ 246.152976] [] call_softirq+0x1c/0x30 [ 246.158920] [] do_softirq+0x55/0x90 [ 246.164670] [] irq_exit+0xa5/0xb0 [ 246.170227] [] smp_apic_timer_interrupt+0x4a/0x60 [ 246.177324] [] apic_timer_interrupt+0x6a/0x70 [ 246.184041] [] ? cpuidle_enter_state+0x5b/0xe0 [ 246.191559] [] ? cpuidle_enter_state+0x57/0xe0 [ 246.198374] [] cpuidle_idle_call+0xbd/0x200 [ 246.204900] [] arch_cpu_idle+0xe/0x30 [ 246.210846] [] cpu_startup_entry+0xd0/0x250 [ 246.217371] [] rest_init+0x77/0x80 [ 246.223028] [] start_kernel+0x3ee/0x3fb [ 246.229165] [] ? repair_env_string+0x5e/0x5e [ 246.235787] [] x86_64_start_reservations+0x2a/0x2c [ 246.242990] [] x86_64_start_kernel+0xf8/0xfc [ 246.249610] ---[ end trace fb74fdef54d79039 ]--- [ 246.254807] ixgbe 0000:c2:00.0 p786p1: initiating reset due to tx timeout [ 246.262489] ixgbe 0000:c2:00.0 p786p1: Reset adapter Last login: Mon Nov 11 08:35:14 from 10.18.17.119 [root@(none) ~]# [ 246.792676] ixgbe 0000:c2:00.0 p786p1: detected SFP+: 5 [ 249.231598] ixgbe 0000:c2:00.0 p786p1: NIC Link is Up 10 Gbps, Flow Control: RX/TX [ 246.792676] ixgbe 0000:c2:00.0 p786p1: detected SFP+: 5 [ 249.231598] ixgbe 0000:c2:00.0 p786p1: NIC Link is Up 10 Gbps, Flow Control: RX/TX (last lines keep repeating. ixgbe driver is dead until module reload.) If the downed cpu has more vectors than are free on the remaining cpus on the system, it is possible that some vectors are "orphaned" even though they are assigned to a cpu. In this case, since the ixgbe driver had a watchdog, the watchdog fired and notified that something was wrong. This patch adds a function, check_vectors(), to compare the number of vectors on the CPU going down and compares it to the number of vectors available on the system. If there aren't enough vectors for the CPU to go down, an error is returned and propogated back to userspace. v2: Do not need to look at percpu irqs v3: Need to check affinity to prevent counting of MSIs in IOAPIC Lowest Priority Mode v4: Additional changes suggested by Gong Chen. v5/v6/v7/v8: Updated comment text Signed-off-by: Prarit Bhargava Link: http://lkml.kernel.org/r/1389613861-3853-1-git-send-email-prarit@redhat.com Reviewed-by: Gong Chen Cc: Andi Kleen Cc: Michel Lespinasse Cc: Seiji Aguchi Cc: Yang Zhang Cc: Paul Gortmaker Cc: Janet Morgan Cc: Tony Luck Cc: Ruiv Wang Cc: Gong Chen Signed-off-by: H.

KVM: x86: Convert MSR_KVM_SYSTEM_TIME to use gfn_to_hva_cache functions (CVE-2013-1797)

2013-04-25T19:25:50Z

commit 0b79459b482e85cb7426aa7da683a9f2c97aeae1 upstream. There is a potential use after free issue with the handling of MSR_KVM_SYSTEM_TIME. If the guest specifies a GPA in a movable or removable memory such as frame buffers then KVM might continue to write to that address even after it's removed via KVM_SET_USER_MEMORY_REGION. KVM pins the page in memory so it's unlikely to cause an issue, but if the user space component re-purposes the memory previously used for the guest, then the guest will be able to corrupt that memory.

x86, mm: Patch out arch_flush_lazy_mmu_mode() when running on bare metal

2013-04-25T19:25:37Z

commit 511ba86e1d386f671084b5d0e6f110bb30b8eeb2 upstream. Invoking arch_flush_lazy_mmu_mode() results in calls to preempt_enable()/disable() which may have performance impact. Since lazy MMU is not used on bare metal we can patch away arch_flush_lazy_mmu_mode() so that it is never called in such environment. [ hpa: the previous patch "Fix vmalloc_fault oops during lazy MMU updates" may cause a minor performance regression on bare metal. This patch resolves that performance regression. It is somewhat unclear to me if this is a good -stable candidate. ] Signed-off-by: Boris Ostrovsky Link: http://lkml.kernel.org/r/1364045796-10720-2-git-send-email-konrad.wilk@oracle.com Tested-by: Josh Boyer Tested-by: Konrad Rzeszutek Wilk Acked-by: Borislav Petkov Signed-off-by: Konrad Rzeszutek Wilk Signed-off-by: H.

x86/mm: Check if PUD is large when validating a kernel address

2013-03-06T03:23:56Z

commit 0ee364eb316348ddf3e0dfcd986f5f13f528f821 upstream. A user reported the following oops when a backup process reads /proc/kcore: BUG: unable to handle kernel paging request at ffffbb00ff33b000 IP: [] kern_addr_valid+0xbe/0x110 [...] Call Trace: [] read_kcore+0x17a/0x370 [] proc_reg_read+0x77/0xc0 [] vfs_read+0xc7/0x130 [] sys_read+0x53/0xa0 [] system_call_fastpath+0x16/0x1b Investigation determined that the bug triggered when reading system RAM at the 4G mark. On this system, that was the first address using 1G pages for the virt->phys direct mapping so the PUD is pointing to a physical address, not a PMD page. The problem is that the page table walker in kern_addr_valid() is not checking pud_large() and treats the physical address as if it was a PMD. If it happens to look like pmd_none then it'll silently fail, probably returning zeros instead of real data. If the data happens to look like a present PMD though, it will be walked resulting in the oops above. This patch adds the necessary pud_large() check. Unfortunately the problem was not readily reproducible and now they are running the backup program without accessing /proc/kcore so the patch has not been validated but I think it makes sense.

efi: Make 'efi_enabled' a function to query EFI facilities

2013-02-06T04:33:50Z

commit 83e68189745ad931c2afd45d8ee3303929233e7f upstream. Originally 'efi_enabled' indicated whether a kernel was booted from EFI firmware. Over time its semantics have changed, and it now indicates whether or not we are booted on an EFI machine with bit-native firmware, e.g. 64-bit kernel with 64-bit firmware. The immediate motivation for this patch is the bug report at, https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu-cdimage/+bug/1040557 which details how running a platform driver on an EFI machine that is designed to run under BIOS can cause the machine to become bricked. Also, the following report, https://bugzilla.kernel.org/show_bug.cgi?id=47121 details how running said driver can also cause Machine Check Exceptions. Drivers need a new means of detecting whether they're running on an EFI machine, as sadly the expression, if (!efi_enabled) hasn't been a sufficient condition for quite some time. Users actually want to query 'efi_enabled' for different reasons - what they really want access to is the list of available EFI facilities. For instance, the x86 reboot code needs to know whether it can invoke the ResetSystem() function provided by the EFI runtime services, while the ACPI OSL code wants to know whether the EFI config tables were mapped successfully. There are also checks in some of the platform driver code to simply see if they're running on an EFI machine (which would make it a bad idea to do BIOS-y things). This patch is a prereq for the samsung-laptop fix patch.

x86-32: Fix invalid stack address while in softirq

2012-12-06T11:20:30Z

commit 1022623842cb72ee4d0dbf02f6937f38c92c3f41 upstream. In 32 bit the stack address provided by kernel_stack_pointer() may point to an invalid range causing NULL pointer access or page faults while in NMI (see trace below). This happens if called in softirq context and if the stack is empty. The address at ®s->sp is then out of range. Fixing this by checking if regs and ®s->sp are in the same stack context. Otherwise return the previous stack pointer stored in struct thread_info. If that address is invalid too, return address of regs.

x86: Remove the ancient and deprecated disable_hlt() and enable_hlt() facility

2012-11-16T16:46:46Z

commit f6365201d8a21fb347260f89d6e9b3e718d63c70 upstream. The X86_32-only disable_hlt/enable_hlt mechanism was used by the 32-bit floppy driver. Its effect was to replace the use of the HLT instruction inside default_idle() with cpu_relax() - essentially it turned off the use of HLT. This workaround was commented in the code as: "disable hlt during certain critical i/o operations" "This halt magic was a workaround for ancient floppy DMA wreckage. It should be safe to remove." H. Peter Anvin additionally adds: "To the best of my knowledge, no-hlt only existed because of flaky power distributions on 386/486 systems which were sold to run DOS. Since DOS did no power management of any kind, including HLT, the power draw was fairly uniform; when exposed to the much hhigher noise levels you got when Linux used HLT caused some of these systems to fail. They were by far in the minority even back then." Alan Cox further says: "Also for the Cyrix 5510 which tended to go castors up if a HLT occurred during a DMA cycle and on a few other boxes HLT during DMA tended to go astray. Do we care ? I doubt it. The 5510 was pretty obscure, the 5520 fixed it, the 5530 is probably the oldest still in any kind of use." So, let's finally drop this.
