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

2017-04-27T07:12:57Z

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.

tracing: Allocate the snapshot buffer before enabling probe

2017-04-27T07:12:57Z

commit df62db5be2e5f070ecd1a5ece5945b590ee112e0 upstream. Currently the snapshot trigger enables the probe and then allocates the snapshot. If the probe triggers before the allocation, it could cause the snapshot to fail and turn tracing off. It's best to allocate the snapshot buffer first, and then enable the trigger. If something goes wrong in the enabling of the trigger, the snapshot buffer is still allocated, but it can also be freed by the user by writting zero into the snapshot buffer file. Also add a check of the return status of alloc_snapshot().

ftrace: Fix function pid filter on instances

2017-04-21T07:32:41Z

commit d879d0b8c183aabeb9a65eba91f3f9e3c7e7b905 upstream. When function tracer has a pid filter, it adds a probe to sched_switch to track if current task can be ignored. The probe checks the ftrace_ignore_pid from current tr to filter tasks. But it misses to delete the probe when removing an instance so that it can cause a crash due to the invalid tr pointer (use-after-free). This is easily reproducible with the following: # cd /sys/kernel/debug/tracing # mkdir instances/buggy # echo $$ > instances/buggy/set_ftrace_pid # rmdir instances/buggy ============================================================================ BUG: KASAN: use-after-free in ftrace_filter_pid_sched_switch_probe+0x3d/0x90 Read of size 8 by task kworker/0:1/17 CPU: 0 PID: 17 Comm: kworker/0:1 Tainted: G B 4.11.0-rc3 #198 Call Trace: dump_stack+0x68/0x9f kasan_object_err+0x21/0x70 kasan_report.part.1+0x22b/0x500 ? ftrace_filter_pid_sched_switch_probe+0x3d/0x90 kasan_report+0x25/0x30 __asan_load8+0x5e/0x70 ftrace_filter_pid_sched_switch_probe+0x3d/0x90 ? fpid_start+0x130/0x130 __schedule+0x571/0xce0 ... To fix it, use ftrace_clear_pids() to unregister the probe. As instance_rmdir() already updated ftrace codes, it can just free the filter safely.

ftrace: Fix removing of second function probe

2017-04-21T07:32:40Z

commit 82cc4fc2e70ec5baeff8f776f2773abc8b2cc0ae upstream. When two function probes are added to set_ftrace_filter, and then one of them is removed, the update to the function locations is not performed, and the record keeping of the function states are corrupted, and causes an ftrace_bug() to occur. This is easily reproducable by adding two probes, removing one, and then adding it back again. # cd /sys/kernel/debug/tracing # echo schedule:traceoff > set_ftrace_filter # echo do_IRQ:traceoff > set_ftrace_filter # echo \!do_IRQ:traceoff > /debug/tracing/set_ftrace_filter # echo do_IRQ:traceoff > set_ftrace_filter Causes: ------------[ cut here ]------------ WARNING: CPU: 2 PID: 1098 at kernel/trace/ftrace.c:2369 ftrace_get_addr_curr+0x143/0x220 Modules linked in: [...] CPU: 2 PID: 1098 Comm: bash Not tainted 4.10.0-test+ #405 Hardware name: Hewlett-Packard HP Compaq Pro 6300 SFF/339A, BIOS K01 v02.05 05/07/2012 Call Trace: dump_stack+0x68/0x9f __warn+0x111/0x130 ? trace_irq_work_interrupt+0xa0/0xa0 warn_slowpath_null+0x1d/0x20 ftrace_get_addr_curr+0x143/0x220 ? __fentry__+0x10/0x10 ftrace_replace_code+0xe3/0x4f0 ? ftrace_int3_handler+0x90/0x90 ? printk+0x99/0xb5 ? 0xffffffff81000000 ftrace_modify_all_code+0x97/0x110 arch_ftrace_update_code+0x10/0x20 ftrace_run_update_code+0x1c/0x60 ftrace_run_modify_code.isra.48.constprop.62+0x8e/0xd0 register_ftrace_function_probe+0x4b6/0x590 ? ftrace_startup+0x310/0x310 ? debug_lockdep_rcu_enabled.part.4+0x1a/0x30 ? update_stack_state+0x88/0x110 ? ftrace_regex_write.isra.43.part.44+0x1d3/0x320 ? preempt_count_sub+0x18/0xd0 ? mutex_lock_nested+0x104/0x800 ? ftrace_regex_write.isra.43.part.44+0x1d3/0x320 ? __unwind_start+0x1c0/0x1c0 ? _mutex_lock_nest_lock+0x800/0x800 ftrace_trace_probe_callback.isra.3+0xc0/0x130 ? func_set_flag+0xe0/0xe0 ? __lock_acquire+0x642/0x1790 ? __might_fault+0x1e/0x20 ? trace_get_user+0x398/0x470 ? strcmp+0x35/0x60 ftrace_trace_onoff_callback+0x48/0x70 ftrace_regex_write.isra.43.part.44+0x251/0x320 ? match_records+0x420/0x420 ftrace_filter_write+0x2b/0x30 __vfs_write+0xd7/0x330 ? do_loop_readv_writev+0x120/0x120 ? locks_remove_posix+0x90/0x2f0 ? do_lock_file_wait+0x160/0x160 ? __lock_is_held+0x93/0x100 ? rcu_read_lock_sched_held+0x5c/0xb0 ? preempt_count_sub+0x18/0xd0 ? __sb_start_write+0x10a/0x230 ? vfs_write+0x222/0x240 vfs_write+0xef/0x240 SyS_write+0xab/0x130 ?

audit: make sure we don't let the retry queue grow without bounds

2017-04-21T07:32:36Z

commit 264d509637d95f9404e52ced5003ad352e0f6a26 upstream. The retry queue is intended to provide a temporary buffer in the case of transient errors when communicating with auditd, it is not meant as a long life queue, that functionality is provided by the hold queue. This patch fixes a problem identified by Seth where the retry queue could grow uncontrollably if an auditd instance did not connect to the kernel to drain the queues. This commit fixes this by doing the following: * Make sure we always call auditd_reset() if we decide the connection with audit is really dead. There were some cases in kauditd_hold_skb() where we did not reset the connection, this patch relocates the reset calls to kauditd_thread() so all the error conditions are caught and the connection reset. As a side effect, this means we could move auditd_reset() and get rid of the forward definition at the top of kernel/audit.c. * We never checked the status of the auditd connection when processing the main audit queue which meant that the retry queue could grow unchecked. This patch adds a call to auditd_reset() after the main queue has been processed if auditd is not connected, the auditd_reset() call will make sure the retry and hold queues are correctly managed/flushed so that the retry queue remains reasonable.

cgroup, kthread: close race window where new kthreads can be migrated to non-root cgroups

2017-04-21T07:32:36Z

commit 77f88796cee819b9c4562b0b6b44691b3b7755b1 upstream. Creation of a kthread goes through a couple interlocked stages between the kthread itself and its creator. Once the new kthread starts running, it initializes itself and wakes up the creator. The creator then can further configure the kthread and then let it start doing its job by waking it up. In this configuration-by-creator stage, the creator is the only one that can wake it up but the kthread is visible to userland. When altering the kthread's attributes from userland is allowed, this is fine; however, for cases where CPU affinity is critical, kthread_bind() is used to first disable affinity changes from userland and then set the affinity. This also prevents the kthread from being migrated into non-root cgroups as that can affect the CPU affinity and many other things. Unfortunately, the cgroup side of protection is racy. While the PF_NO_SETAFFINITY flag prevents further migrations, userland can win the race before the creator sets the flag with kthread_bind() and put the kthread in a non-root cgroup, which can lead to all sorts of problems including incorrect CPU affinity and starvation. This bug got triggered by userland which periodically tries to migrate all processes in the root cpuset cgroup to a non-root one. Per-cpu workqueue workers got caught while being created and ended up with incorrected CPU affinity breaking concurrency management and sometimes stalling workqueue execution. This patch adds task->no_cgroup_migration which disallows the task to be migrated by userland. kthreadd starts with the flag set making every child kthread start in the root cgroup with migration disallowed. The flag is cleared after the kthread finishes initialization by which time PF_NO_SETAFFINITY is set if the kthread should stay in the root cgroup. It'd be better to wait for the initialization instead of failing but I couldn't think of a way of implementing that without adding either a new PF flag, or sleeping and retrying from waiting side. Even if userland depends on changing cgroup membership of a kthread, it either has to be synchronized with kthread_create() or periodically repeat, so it's unlikely that this would break anything. v2: Switch to a simpler implementation using a new task_struct bit field suggested by Oleg.

ptrace: fix PTRACE_LISTEN race corrupting task->state

2017-04-12T10:42:05Z

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: Greg Kroah-Hartman

padata: avoid race in reordering

commit de5540d088fe97ad583cc7d396586437b32149a5 upstream. Under extremely heavy uses of padata, crashes occur, and with list debugging turned on, this happens instead: [87487.298728] WARNING: CPU: 1 PID: 882 at lib/list_debug.c:33 __list_add+0xae/0x130 [87487.301868] list_add corruption. prev->next should be next (ffffb17abfc043d0), but was ffff8dba70872c80.

This pdata pointer comes from the function call to padata_get_next(pd), which has in it the following block: next_queue = per_cpu_ptr(pd->pqueue, cpu); padata = NULL; reorder = &next_queue->reorder; if (!list_empty(&reorder->list)) { padata = list_entry(reorder->list.next, struct padata_priv, list); spin_lock(&reorder->lock); list_del_init(&padata->list); atomic_dec(&pd->reorder_objects); spin_unlock(&reorder->lock); pd->processed++; goto out; } out: return padata; I strongly suspect that the problem here is that two threads can race on reorder list. Even though the deletion is locked, call to list_entry is not locked, which means it's feasible that two threads pick up the same padata object and subsequently call list_add_tail on them at the same time. The fix is thus be hoist that lock outside of that block. Signed-off-by: Jason A. Donenfeld Acked-by: Steffen Klassert Signed-off-by: Herbert Xu Signed-off-by: Greg Kroah-Hartman

sched/rt: Add a missing rescheduling point

2017-03-31T08:33:43Z

commit 619bd4a71874a8fd78eb6ccf9f272c5e98bcc7b7 upstream. Since the change in commit: fd7a4bed1835 ("sched, rt: Convert switched_{from, to}_rt() / prio_changed_rt() to balance callbacks") ... we don't reschedule a task under certain circumstances: Lets say task-A, SCHED_OTHER, is running on CPU0 (and it may run only on CPU0) and holds a PI lock. This task is removed from the CPU because it used up its time slice and another SCHED_OTHER task is running. Task-B on CPU1 runs at RT priority and asks for the lock owned by task-A. This results in a priority boost for task-A. Task-B goes to sleep until the lock has been made available. Task-A is already runnable (but not active), so it receives no wake up. The reality now is that task-A gets on the CPU once the scheduler decides to remove the current task despite the fact that a high priority task is enqueued and waiting. This may take a long time. The desired behaviour is that CPU0 immediately reschedules after the priority boost which made task-A the task with the lowest priority.
