padata: free correct variable

2017-08-26T01:13:59Z

commit 07a77929ba672d93642a56dc2255dd21e6e2290b upstream. The author meant to free the variable that was just allocated, instead of the one that failed to be allocated, but made a simple typo. This patch rectifies that. Signed-off-by: Jason A. Donenfeld Signed-off-by: Herbert Xu Signed-off-by: Ben Hutchings

ring-buffer: Have ring_buffer_iter_empty() return true when empty

2017-07-18T17:38:43Z

commit 78f7a45dac2a2d2002f98a3a95f7979867868d73 upstream. I noticed that reading the snapshot file when it is empty no longer gives a status. It suppose to show the status of the snapshot buffer as well as how to allocate and use it. For example: ># cat snapshot # tracer: nop # # # * Snapshot is allocated * # # Snapshot commands: # echo 0 > snapshot : Clears and frees snapshot buffer # echo 1 > snapshot : Allocates snapshot buffer, if not already allocated. # Takes a snapshot of the main buffer. # echo 2 > snapshot : Clears snapshot buffer (but does not allocate or free) # (Doesn't have to be '2' works with any number that # is not a '0' or '1') But instead it just showed an empty buffer: ># cat snapshot # tracer: nop # # entries-in-buffer/entries-written: 0/0 #P:4 # # _-----=> irqs-off # / _----=> need-resched # | / _---=> hardirq/softirq # || / _--=> preempt-depth # ||| / delay # TASK-PID CPU# |||| TIMESTAMP FUNCTION # | | | |||| | | What happened was that it was using the ring_buffer_iter_empty() function to see if it was empty, and if it was, it showed the status. But that function was returning false when it was empty. The reason was that the iter header page was on the reader page, and the reader page was empty, but so was the buffer itself. The check only tested to see if the iter was on the commit page, but the commit page was no longer pointing to the reader page, but as all pages were empty, the buffer is also.

ptrace: fix PTRACE_LISTEN race corrupting task->state

2017-07-18T17:38:41Z

commit 5402e97af667e35e54177af8f6575518bf251d51 upstream. In PT_SEIZED + LISTEN mode STOP/CONT signals cause a wakeup against __TASK_TRACED. If this races with the ptrace_unfreeze_traced at the end of a PTRACE_LISTEN, this can wake the task /after/ the check against __TASK_TRACED, but before the reset of state to TASK_TRACED. This causes it to instead clobber TASK_WAKING, allowing a subsequent wakeup against TRACED while the task is still on the rq wake_list, corrupting it. Oleg said: "The kernel can crash or this can lead to other hard-to-debug problems. In short, "task->state = TASK_TRACED" in ptrace_unfreeze_traced() assumes that nobody else can wake it up, but PTRACE_LISTEN breaks the contract. Obviusly it is very wrong to manipulate task->state if this task is already running, or WAKING, or it sleeps again" [akpm@linux-foundation.org: coding-style fixes] Fixes: 9899d11f ("ptrace: ensure arch_ptrace/ptrace_request can never race with SIGKILL") Link: http://lkml.kernel.org/r/xm26y3vfhmkp.fsf_-_@bsegall-linux.mtv.corp.google.com Signed-off-by: Ben Segall Acked-by: Oleg Nesterov Signed-off-by: Andrew Morton Signed-off-by: Linus Torvalds Signed-off-by: Ben Hutchings

perf/core: Fix event inheritance on fork()

2017-07-18T17:38:33Z

commit e7cc4865f0f31698ef2f7aac01a50e78968985b7 upstream. While hunting for clues to a use-after-free, Oleg spotted that perf_event_init_context() can loose an error value with the result that fork() can succeed even though we did not fully inherit the perf event context.

sched/loadavg: Avoid loadavg spikes caused by delayed NO_HZ accounting

2017-07-18T17:38:33Z

commit 6e5f32f7a43f45ee55c401c0b9585eb01f9629a8 upstream. If we crossed a sample window while in NO_HZ we will add LOAD_FREQ to the pending sample window time on exit, setting the next update not one window into the future, but two. This situation on exiting NO_HZ is described by: this_rq->calc_load_update < jiffies < calc_load_update In this scenario, what we should be doing is: this_rq->calc_load_update = calc_load_update [ next window ] But what we actually do is: this_rq->calc_load_update = calc_load_update + LOAD_FREQ [ next+1 window ] This has the effect of delaying load average updates for potentially up to ~9seconds. This can result in huge spikes in the load average values due to per-cpu uninterruptible task counts being out of sync when accumulated across all CPUs. It's safe to update the per-cpu active count if we wake between sample windows because any load that we left in 'calc_load_idle' will have been zero'd when the idle load was folded in calc_global_load(). This issue is easy to reproduce before, commit 9d89c257dfb9 ("sched/fair: Rewrite runnable load and utilization average tracking") just by forking short-lived process pipelines built from ps(1) and grep(1) in a loop. I'm unable to reproduce the spikes after that commit, but the bug still seems to be present from code review.

futex: Add missing error handling to FUTEX_REQUEUE_PI

commit 9bbb25afeb182502ca4f2c4f3f88af0681b34cae upstream. Thomas spotted that fixup_pi_state_owner() can return errors and we fail to unlock the rt_mutex in that case.

futex: Fix potential use-after-free in FUTEX_REQUEUE_PI

2017-07-18T17:38:33Z

commit c236c8e95a3d395b0494e7108f0d41cf36ec107c upstream. While working on the futex code, I stumbled over this potential use-after-free scenario. Dmitry triggered it later with syzkaller. pi_mutex is a pointer into pi_state, which we drop the reference on in unqueue_me_pi(). So any access to that pointer after that is bad. Since other sites already do rt_mutex_unlock() with hb->lock held, see for example futex_lock_pi(), simply move the unlock before unqueue_me_pi().

tracing: Use strlcpy() instead of strcpy() in __trace_find_cmdline()

2017-06-05T20:13:55Z

commit e09e28671cda63e6308b31798b997639120e2a21 upstream. Strcpy is inherently not safe, and strlcpy() should be used instead. __trace_find_cmdline() uses strcpy() because the comms saved must have a terminating nul character, but it doesn't hurt to add the extra protection of using strlcpy() instead of strcpy().

futex: Move futex_init() to core_initcall

2017-03-16T02:18:50Z

commit 25f71d1c3e98ef0e52371746220d66458eac75bc upstream. The UEVENT user mode helper is enabled before the initcalls are executed and is available when the root filesystem has been mounted. The user mode helper is triggered by device init calls and the executable might use the futex syscall. futex_init() is marked __initcall which maps to device_initcall, but there is no guarantee that futex_init() is invoked _before_ the first device init call which triggers the UEVENT user mode helper. If the user mode helper uses the futex syscall before futex_init() then the syscall crashes with a NULL pointer dereference because the futex subsystem has not been initialized yet. Move futex_init() to core_initcall so futexes are initialized before the root filesystem is mounted and the usermode helper becomes available.
