kernel: kexec: remove the lock operation of system_transition_mutex

2021-02-03T22:23:23Z

commit 56c91a18432b631ca18438841fd1831ef756cabf upstream. Function kernel_kexec() is called with lock system_transition_mutex held in reboot system call. While inside kernel_kexec(), it will acquire system_transition_mutex agin. This will lead to dead lock. The dead lock should be easily triggered, it hasn't caused any failure report just because the feature 'kexec jump' is almost not used by anyone as far as I know. An inquiry can be made about who is using 'kexec jump' and where it's used. Before that, let's simply remove the lock operation inside CONFIG_KEXEC_JUMP ifdeffery scope.

kexec: Allocate decrypted control pages for kdump if SME is enabled

kexec: bail out upon SIGKILL when allocating memory.

2019-10-07T16:57:28Z

commit 7c3a6aedcd6aae0a32a527e68669f7dd667492d1 upstream. syzbot found that a thread can stall for minutes inside kexec_load() after that thread was killed by SIGKILL [1]. It turned out that the reproducer was trying to allocate 2408MB of memory using kimage_alloc_page() from kimage_load_normal_segment(). Let's check for SIGKILL before doing memory allocation.

kexec: yield to scheduler when loading kimage segments

2018-06-14T22:55:24Z

Without yielding while loading kimage segments, a large initrd will block all other work on the CPU performing the load until it is completed. For example loading an initrd of 200MB on a low power single core system will lock up the system for a few seconds. To increase system responsiveness to other tasks at that time, call cond_resched() in both the crash kernel and normal kernel segment loading loops. I did run into a practical problem. Hardware watchdogs on embedded systems can have short timers on the order of seconds. If the system is locked up for a few seconds with only a single core available, the watchdog may not be pet in a timely fashion. If this happens, the hardware watchdog will fire and reset the system. This really only becomes a problem when you are working with a single core, a decently sized initrd, and have a constrained hardware watchdog.

x86/mm, kexec: Allow kexec to be used with SME

2017-07-18T09:38:04Z

Provide support so that kexec can be used to boot a kernel when SME is enabled. Support is needed to allocate pages for kexec without encryption. This is needed in order to be able to reboot in the kernel in the same manner as originally booted. Additionally, when shutting down all of the CPUs we need to be sure to flush the caches and then halt. This is needed when booting from a state where SME was not active into a state where SME is active (or vice-versa). Without these steps, it is possible for cache lines to exist for the same physical location but tagged both with and without the encryption bit. This can cause random memory corruption when caches are flushed depending on which cacheline is written last.

kdump: protect vmcoreinfo data under the crash memory

2017-07-12T23:26:00Z

Currently vmcoreinfo data is updated at boot time subsys_initcall(), it has the risk of being modified by some wrong code during system is running. As a result, vmcore dumped may contain the wrong vmcoreinfo. Later on, when using "crash", "makedumpfile", etc utility to parse this vmcore, we probably will get "Segmentation fault" or other unexpected errors. E.g. 1) wrong code overwrites vmcoreinfo_data; 2) further crashes the system; 3) trigger kdump, then we obviously will fail to recognize the crash context correctly due to the corrupted vmcoreinfo. Now except for vmcoreinfo, all the crash data is well protected(including the cpu note which is fully updated in the crash path, thus its correctness is guaranteed). Given that vmcoreinfo data is a large chunk prepared for kdump, we better protect it as well. To solve this, we relocate and copy vmcoreinfo_data to the crash memory when kdump is loading via kexec syscalls. Because the whole crash memory will be protected by existing arch_kexec_protect_crashkres() mechanism, we naturally protect vmcoreinfo_data from write(even read) access under kernel direct mapping after kdump is loaded. Since kdump is usually loaded at the very early stage after boot, we can trust the correctness of the vmcoreinfo data copied. On the other hand, we still need to operate the vmcoreinfo safe copy when crash happens to generate vmcoreinfo_note again, we rely on vmap() to map out a new kernel virtual address and update to use this new one instead in the following crash_save_vmcoreinfo(). BTW, we do not touch vmcoreinfo_note, because it will be fully updated using the protected vmcoreinfo_data after crash which is surely correct just like the cpu crash note.

In preparation for an objtool rewrite which will have broader checks, whitelist functions and files which cause problems because they do unusual things with the stack. These whitelists serve as a TODO list for which functions and files don't yet have undwarf unwinder coverage.

crash: move crashkernel parsing and vmcore related code under CONFIG_CRASH_CORE

2017-05-09T00:15:11Z

Patch series "kexec/fadump: remove dependency with CONFIG_KEXEC and reuse crashkernel parameter for fadump", v4. Traditionally, kdump is used to save vmcore in case of a crash. Some architectures like powerpc can save vmcore using architecture specific support instead of kexec/kdump mechanism. Such architecture specific support also needs to reserve memory, to be used by dump capture kernel. crashkernel parameter can be a reused, for memory reservation, by such architecture specific infrastructure. This patchset removes dependency with CONFIG_KEXEC for crashkernel parameter and vmcoreinfo related code as it can be reused without kexec support. Also, crashkernel parameter is reused instead of fadump_reserve_mem to reserve memory for fadump. The first patch moves crashkernel parameter parsing and vmcoreinfo related code under CONFIG_CRASH_CORE instead of CONFIG_KEXEC_CORE. The second patch reuses the definitions of append_elf_note() & final_note() functions under CONFIG_CRASH_CORE in IA64 arch code. The third patch removes dependency on CONFIG_KEXEC for firmware-assisted dump (fadump) in powerpc. The next patch reuses crashkernel parameter for reserving memory for fadump, instead of the fadump_reserve_mem parameter. This has the advantage of using all syntaxes crashkernel parameter supports, for fadump as well. The last patch updates fadump kernel documentation about use of crashkernel parameter. This patch (of 5): Traditionally, kdump is used to save vmcore in case of a crash. Some architectures like powerpc can save vmcore using architecture specific support instead of kexec/kdump mechanism. Such architecture specific support also needs to reserve memory, to be used by dump capture kernel. crashkernel parameter can be a reused, for memory reservation, by such architecture specific infrastructure. But currently, code related to vmcoreinfo and parsing of crashkernel parameter is built under CONFIG_KEXEC_CORE. This patch introduces CONFIG_CRASH_CORE and moves the above mentioned code under this config, allowing code reuse without dependency on CONFIG_KEXEC. There is no functional change with this patch.

Pull printk updates from Petr Mladek: - Add Petr Mladek, Sergey Senozhatsky as printk maintainers, and Steven Rostedt as the printk reviewer. This idea came up after the discussion about printk issues at Kernel Summit. It was formulated and discussed at lkml[1]. - Extend a lock-less NMI per-cpu buffers idea to handle recursive printk() calls by Sergey Senozhatsky[2]. It is the first step in sanitizing printk as discussed at Kernel Summit. The change allows to see messages that would normally get ignored or would cause a deadlock. Also it allows to enable lockdep in printk(). This already paid off. The testing in linux-next helped to discover two old problems that were hidden before[3][4]. - Remove unused parameter by Sergey Senozhatsky. Clean up after a past change.
