rss_stat: add support to detect RSS updates of external mm

2019-12-01T14:29:18Z

When a process updates the RSS of a different process, the rss_stat tracepoint appears in the context of the process doing the update. This can confuse userspace that the RSS of process doing the update is updated, while in reality a different process's RSS was updated. This issue happens in reclaim paths such as with direct reclaim or background reclaim. This patch adds more information to the tracepoint about whether the mm being updated belongs to the current process's context (curr field). We also include a hash of the mm pointer so that the process who the mm belongs to can be uniquely identified (mm_id field). Also vsprintf.c is refactored a bit to allow reuse of hashing code.

lib/string: Make memzero_explicit() inline instead of external

2019-10-08T11:27:05Z

With the use of the barrier implied by barrier_data(), there is no need for memzero_explicit() to be extern. Making it inline saves the overhead of a function call, and allows the code to be reused in arch/*/purgatory without having to duplicate the implementation.

lib/string: Add strscpy_pad() function

2019-04-08T22:44:21Z

We have a function to copy strings safely and we have a function to copy strings and zero the tail of the destination (if source string is shorter than destination buffer) but we do not have a function to do both at once. This means developers must write this themselves if they desire this functionality. This is a chore, and also leaves us open to off by one errors unnecessarily. Add a function that calls strscpy() then memset()s the tail to zero if the source string is shorter than the destination buffer. Acked-by: Kees Cook Signed-off-by: Tobin C.

lib/string.c: implement a basic bcmp

2019-04-06T02:02:30Z

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.

string.h: Add str_has_prefix() helper function

2018-12-23T03:50:29Z

A discussion came up in the trace triggers thread about converting a bunch of: strncmp(str, "const", sizeof("const") - 1) use cases into a helper macro. It started with: strncmp(str, const, sizeof(const) - 1) But then Joe Perches mentioned that if a const is not used, the sizeof() will be the size of a pointer, which can be bad. And that gcc will optimize strlen("const") into "sizeof("const") - 1". Thinking about this more, a quick grep in the kernel tree found several (thousands!) of cases that use this construct. A quick grep also revealed that there's probably several bugs in that use case. Some are that people forgot the "- 1" (which I found) and others could be that the constant for the sizeof is different than the constant (although, I haven't found any of those, but I also didn't look hard). I figured the best thing to do is to create a helper macro and place it into include/linux/string.h. And go around and fix all the open coded versions of it later. Note, gcc appears to optimize this when we make it into an always_inline static function, which removes a lot of issues that a macro produces.

lib: Add memcat_p(): paste 2 pointer arrays together

2018-10-11T10:12:55Z

This adds a helper to paste 2 pointer arrays together, useful for merging various types of attribute arrays. There are a few places in the kernel tree where this is open coded, and I just added one more in the STM class. The naming is inspired by memset_p() and memcat(), and partial credit for it goes to Andy Shevchenko. This patch adds the function wrapped in a type-enforcing macro and a test module.

x86/asm/memcpy_mcsafe: Return bytes remaining

2018-05-15T06:32:42Z

Machine check safe memory copies are currently deployed in the pmem driver whenever reading from persistent memory media, so that -EIO is returned rather than triggering a kernel panic. While this protects most pmem accesses, it is not complete in the filesystem-dax case. When filesystem-dax is enabled reads may bypass the block layer and the driver via dax_iomap_actor() and its usage of copy_to_iter(). In preparation for creating a copy_to_iter() variant that can handle machine checks, teach memcpy_mcsafe() to return the number of bytes remaining rather than -EFAULT when an exception occurs.
