The way it is triggered is if userspace sends in 128 characters (EVENT_BUF_SIZE + 1), the loop that reads the last character stores it and then breaks out because there is no more characters. Then the last character is read to determine what to do next, and the index is incremented without checking size. Then the caller of trace_get_user() usually nulls out the last character with a zero, but since the index is equal to the size, it writes a nul character after the allocated space, which can corrupt memory. Luckily, only root user has write access to this file.

perf: Fix perf ring buffer memory ordering

2013-11-28T14:01:59Z

commit bf378d341e4873ed928dc3c636252e6895a21f50 upstream. The PPC64 people noticed a missing memory barrier and crufty old comments in the perf ring buffer code. So update all the comments and add the missing barrier. When the architecture implements local_t using atomic_long_t there will be double barriers issued; but short of introducing more conditional barrier primitives this is the best we can do.

perf: Fix perf_cgroup_switch for sw-events

2013-10-26T20:06:12Z

commit 95cf59ea72331d0093010543b8951bb43f262cac upstream. Jiri reported that he could trigger the WARN_ON_ONCE() in perf_cgroup_switch() using sw-events. This is because sw-events share a cpuctx with multiple PMUs. Use the ->unique_pmu pointer to limit the pmu iteration to unique cpuctx instances.

perf: Clarify perf_cpu_context::active_pmu usage by renaming it to ::unique_pmu

2013-10-26T20:06:11Z

commit 3f1f33206c16c7b3839d71372bc2ac3f305aa802 upstream. Stephane thought the perf_cpu_context::active_pmu name confusing and suggested using 'unique_pmu' instead. This pointer is a pointer to a 'random' pmu sharing the cpuctx instance, therefore limiting a for_each_pmu loop to those where cpuctx->unique_pmu matches the pmu we get a loop over unique cpuctx instances.

cgroup: fail if monitored file and event_control are in different cgroup

2013-10-26T20:06:11Z

commit f169007b2773f285e098cb84c74aac0154d65ff7 upstream. If we pass fd of memory.usage_in_bytes of cgroup A to cgroup.event_control of cgroup B, then we won't get memory usage notification from A but B! What's worse, if A and B are in different mount hierarchy, we'll end up accessing NULL pointer! Disallow this kind of invalid usage. Signed-off-by: Li Zefan Acked-by: Kirill A.

perf: Use css_tryget() to avoid propping up css refcount

2013-10-26T20:06:10Z

commit 9c5da09d266ca9b32eb16cf940f8161d949c2fe5 upstream. An rmdir pushes css's ref count to zero. However, if the associated directory is open at the time, the dentry ref count is non-zero. If the fd for this directory is then passed into perf_event_open, it does a css_get(). This bounces the ref count back up from zero. This is a problem by itself. But what makes it turn into a crash is the fact that we end up doing an extra dput, since we perform a dput when css_put sees the ref count go down to zero. css_tryget() does not fall into that trap. So, we use that instead. Reproduction test-case for the bug: #include #include #include #include #include #include #include #include #include #define PERF_FLAG_PID_CGROUP (1U << 2) int perf_event_open(struct perf_event_attr *hw_event_uptr, pid_t pid, int cpu, int group_fd, unsigned long flags) { return syscall(__NR_perf_event_open,hw_event_uptr, pid, cpu, group_fd, flags); } /* * Directly poke at the perf_event bug, since it's proving hard to repro * depending on where in the kernel tree. what moved? */ int main(int argc, char **argv) { int fd; struct perf_event_attr attr; memset(&attr, 0, sizeof(attr)); attr.exclude_kernel = 1; attr.size = sizeof(attr); mkdir("/dev/cgroup/perf_event/blah", 0777); fd = open("/dev/cgroup/perf_event/blah", O_RDONLY); perror("open"); rmdir("/dev/cgroup/perf_event/blah"); sleep(2); perf_event_open(&attr, fd, 0, -1, PERF_FLAG_PID_CGROUP); perror("perf_event_open"); close(fd); return 0; } Signed-off-by: Salman Qazi Signed-off-by: Peter Zijlstra Acked-by: Tejun Heo Link: http://lkml.kernel.org/r/20120614223108.1025.2503.stgit@dungbeetle.mtv.corp.google.com Signed-off-by: Ingo Molnar Signed-off-by: Ben Hutchings

sched/fair: Fix small race where child->se.parent,cfs_rq might point to invalid ones

2013-10-26T20:06:03Z

commit 6c9a27f5da9609fca46cb2b183724531b48f71ad upstream. There is a small race between copy_process() and cgroup_attach_task() where child->se.parent,cfs_rq points to invalid (old) ones. parent doing fork() | someone moving the parent to another cgroup -------------------------------+--------------------------------------------- copy_process() + dup_task_struct() -> parent->se is copied to child->se. se.parent,cfs_rq of them point to old ones. cgroup_attach_task() + cgroup_task_migrate() -> parent->cgroup is updated. + cpu_cgroup_attach() + sched_move_task() + task_move_group_fair() +- set_task_rq() -> se.parent,cfs_rq of parent are updated. + cgroup_fork() -> parent->cgroup is copied to child->cgroup. (*1) + sched_fork() + task_fork_fair() -> se.parent,cfs_rq of child are accessed while they point to old ones. (*2) In the worst case, this bug can lead to "use-after-free" and cause a panic, because it's new cgroup's refcount that is incremented at (*1), so the old cgroup(and related data) can be freed before (*2). In fact, a panic caused by this bug was originally caught in RHEL6.4.

workqueue: cond_resched() after processing each work item

2013-09-10T00:57:36Z

commit b22ce2785d97423846206cceec4efee0c4afd980 upstream. If !PREEMPT, a kworker running work items back to back can hog CPU. This becomes dangerous when a self-requeueing work item which is waiting for something to happen races against stop_machine. Such self-requeueing work item would requeue itself indefinitely hogging the kworker and CPU it's running on while stop_machine would wait for that CPU to enter stop_machine while preventing anything else from happening on all other CPUs. The two would deadlock. Jamie Liu reports that this deadlock scenario exists around scsi_requeue_run_queue() and libata port multiplier support, where one port may exclude command processing from other ports. With the right timing, scsi_requeue_run_queue() can end up requeueing itself trying to execute an IO which is asked to be retried while another device has an exclusive access, which in turn can't make forward progress due to stop_machine. Fix it by invoking cond_resched() after executing each work item.

tracing: Fix fields of struct trace_iterator that are zeroed by mistake

2013-09-10T00:57:20Z

commit ed5467da0e369e65b247b99eb6403cb79172bcda upstream. tracing_read_pipe zeros all fields bellow "seq". The declaration contains a comment about that, but it doesn't help. The first field is "snapshot", it's true when current open file is snapshot. Looks obvious, that it should not be zeroed. The second field is "started". It was converted from cpumask_t to cpumask_var_t (v2.6.28-4983-g4462344), in other words it was converted from cpumask to pointer on cpumask. Currently the reference on "started" memory is lost after the first read from tracing_read_pipe and a proper object will never be freed. The "started" is never dereferenced for trace_pipe, because trace_pipe can't have the TRACE_FILE_ANNOTATE options.

perf: Fix event group context move

2013-09-10T00:57:05Z

commit 0231bb5336758426b44ccd798ccd3c5419c95d58 upstream. When we have group with mixed events (hw/sw) we want to end up with group leader being in hw context. So if group leader is initialy sw event, we move all the events under hw context. The move is done for each event by removing it from its context and adding it back into proper one. As a part of the removal the event is automatically disabled, which is not what we want at this stage of creating groups. The fix is to initialize event state after removal from sw context.
