sched/loadavg: Fix loadavg artifacts on fully idle and on fully loaded systems

2016-06-01T19:16:58Z

commit 20878232c52329f92423d27a60e48b6a6389e0dd upstream. Systems show a minimal load average of 0.00, 0.01, 0.05 even when they have no load at all. Uptime and /proc/loadavg on all systems with kernels released during the last five years up until kernel version 4.6-rc5, show a 5- and 15-minute minimum loadavg of 0.01 and 0.05 respectively. This should be 0.00 on idle systems, but the way the kernel calculates this value prevents it from getting lower than the mentioned values. Likewise but not as obviously noticeable, a fully loaded system with no processes waiting, shows a maximum 1/5/15 loadavg of 1.00, 0.99, 0.95 (multiplied by number of cores). Once the (old) load becomes 93 or higher, it mathematically can never get lower than 93, even when the active (load) remains 0 forever. This results in the strange 0.00, 0.01, 0.05 uptime values on idle systems. Note: 93/2048 = 0.0454..., which rounds up to 0.05. It is not correct to add a 0.5 rounding (=1024/2048) here, since the result from this function is fed back into the next iteration again, so the result of that +0.5 rounding value then gets multiplied by (2048-2037), and then rounded again, so there is a virtual "ghost" load created, next to the old and active load terms. By changing the way the internally kept value is rounded, that internal value equivalent now can reach 0.00 on idle, and 1.00 on full load. Upon increasing load, the internally kept load value is rounded up, when the load is decreasing, the load value is rounded down. The modified code was tested on nohz=off and nohz kernels. It was tested on vanilla kernel 4.6-rc5 and on centos 7.1 kernel 3.10.0-327. It was tested on single, dual, and octal cores system. It was tested on virtual hosts and bare hardware. No unwanted effects have been observed, and the problems that the patch intended to fix were indeed gone.

ring-buffer: Prevent overflow of size in ring_buffer_resize()

2016-06-01T19:16:58Z

commit 59643d1535eb220668692a5359de22545af579f6 upstream. If the size passed to ring_buffer_resize() is greater than MAX_LONG - BUF_PAGE_SIZE then the DIV_ROUND_UP() will return zero. Here's the details: # echo 18014398509481980 > /sys/kernel/debug/tracing/buffer_size_kb tracing_entries_write() processes this and converts kb to bytes. 18014398509481980 << 10 = 18446744073709547520 and this is passed to ring_buffer_resize() as unsigned long size. size = DIV_ROUND_UP(size, BUF_PAGE_SIZE); Where DIV_ROUND_UP(a, b) is (a + b - 1)/b BUF_PAGE_SIZE is 4080 and here 18446744073709547520 + 4080 - 1 = 18446744073709551599 where 18446744073709551599 is still smaller than 2^64 2^64 - 18446744073709551599 = 17 But now 18446744073709551599 / 4080 = 4521260802379792 and size = size * 4080 = 18446744073709551360 This is checked to make sure its still greater than 2 * 4080, which it is. Then we convert to the number of buffer pages needed. nr_page = DIV_ROUND_UP(size, BUF_PAGE_SIZE) but this time size is 18446744073709551360 and 2^64 - (18446744073709551360 + 4080 - 1) = -3823 Thus it overflows and the resulting number is less than 4080, which makes 3823 / 4080 = 0 an nr_pages is set to this. As we already checked against the minimum that nr_pages may be, this causes the logic to fail as well, and we crash the kernel. There's no reason to have the two DIV_ROUND_UP() (that's just result of historical code changes), clean up the code and fix this bug.

ring-buffer: Use long for nr_pages to avoid overflow failures

2016-06-01T19:16:57Z

commit 9b94a8fba501f38368aef6ac1b30e7335252a220 upstream. The size variable to change the ring buffer in ftrace is a long. The nr_pages used to update the ring buffer based on the size is int. On 64 bit machines this can cause an overflow problem. For example, the following will cause the ring buffer to crash: # cd /sys/kernel/debug/tracing # echo 10 > buffer_size_kb # echo 8556384240 > buffer_size_kb Then you get the warning of: WARNING: CPU: 1 PID: 318 at kernel/trace/ring_buffer.c:1527 rb_update_pages+0x22f/0x260 Which is: RB_WARN_ON(cpu_buffer, nr_removed); Note each ring buffer page holds 4080 bytes. This is because: 1) 10 causes the ring buffer to have 3 pages. (10kb requires 3 * 4080 pages to hold) 2) (2^31 / 2^10 + 1) * 4080 = 8556384240 The value written into buffer_size_kb is shifted by 10 and then passed to ring_buffer_resize(). 8556384240 * 2^10 = 8761737461760 3) The size passed to ring_buffer_resize() is then divided by BUF_PAGE_SIZE which is 4080. 8761737461760 / 4080 = 2147484672 4) nr_pages is subtracted from the current nr_pages (3) and we get: 2147484669. This value is saved in a signed integer nr_pages_to_update 5) 2147484669 is greater than 2^31 but smaller than 2^32, a signed int turns into the value of -2147482627 6) As the value is a negative number, in update_pages_handler() it is negated and passed to rb_remove_pages() and 2147482627 pages will be removed, which is much larger than 3 and it causes the warning because not all the pages asked to be removed were removed.

perf/core: Fix perf_event_open() vs. execve() race

2016-06-01T19:16:56Z

commit 79c9ce57eb2d5f1497546a3946b4ae21b6fdc438 upstream. Jann reported that the ptrace_may_access() check in find_lively_task_by_vpid() is racy against exec(). Specifically: perf_event_open() execve() ptrace_may_access() commit_creds() ... if (get_dumpable() != SUID_DUMP_USER) perf_event_exit_task(); perf_install_in_context() would result in installing a counter across the creds boundary. Fix this by wrapping lots of perf_event_open() in cred_guard_mutex. This should be fine as perf_event_exit_task() is already called with cred_guard_mutex held, so all perf locks already nest inside it.

One which handles | UP/DOWN_FAILED/ONLINE and one which handles DOWN_PREPARE. | | Now look at the priorities of those callbacks: | | CPU_PRI_WORKQUEUE_UP = 5 | CPU_PRI_WORKQUEUE_DOWN = -5 | | So the call order on DOWN_PREPARE is: | | CB 1 | CB ... | CB workqueue_up() -> Ignores DOWN_PREPARE | CB ... | CB X ---> Fails | | So we call up to CB X with DOWN_FAILED | | CB 1 | CB ... | CB workqueue_up() -> Handles DOWN_FAILED | CB ... | CB X-1 | | So the problem is that the workqueue stuff handles DOWN_FAILED in the up | callback, while it should do it in the down callback. Which is not a good idea | either because it wants to be called early on rollback... | | Brilliant stuff, isn't it? The hotplug rework will solve this problem because | the callbacks become symetric, but for the existing mess, we need some | workaround in the workqueue code. The boot CPU handles housekeeping duty(unbound timers, workqueues, timekeeping, ...) on behalf of full dynticks CPUs. It must remain online when nohz full is enabled. There is a priority set to every notifier_blocks: workqueue_cpu_up > tick_nohz_cpu_down > workqueue_cpu_down So tick_nohz_cpu_down callback failed when down prepare cpu 0, and notifier_blocks behind tick_nohz_cpu_down will not be called any more, which leads to workers are actually not unbound. Then hotplug state machine will fallback to undo and online cpu 0 again. Workers will be rebound unconditionally even if they are not unbound and trigger the warning in this progress. This patch fix it by catching !DISASSOCIATED to avoid rebind bound workers.

perf/core: Disable the event on a truncated AUX record

2016-05-19T01:35:12Z

commit 9f448cd3cbcec8995935e60b27802ae56aac8cc0 upstream. When the PMU driver reports a truncated AUX record, it effectively means that there is no more usable room in the event's AUX buffer (even though there may still be some room, so that perf_aux_output_begin() doesn't take action). At this point the consumer still has to be woken up and the event has to be disabled, otherwise the event will just keep spinning between perf_aux_output_begin() and perf_aux_output_end() until its context gets unscheduled. Again, for cpu-wide events this means never, so once in this condition, they will be forever losing data. Fix this by disabling the event and waking up the consumer in case of a truncated AUX record.

bpf: fix double-fdput in replace_map_fd_with_map_ptr()

2016-05-19T01:35:04Z

[ Upstream commit 8358b02bf67d3a5d8a825070e1aa73f25fb2e4c7 ] When bpf(BPF_PROG_LOAD, ...) was invoked with a BPF program whose bytecode references a non-map file descriptor as a map file descriptor, the error handling code called fdput() twice instead of once (in __bpf_map_get() and in replace_map_fd_with_map_ptr()). If the file descriptor table of the current task is shared, this causes f_count to be decremented too much, allowing the struct file to be freed while it is still in use (use-after-free). This can be exploited to gain root privileges by an unprivileged user. This bug was introduced in commit 0246e64d9a5f ("bpf: handle pseudo BPF_LD_IMM64 insn"), but is only exploitable since commit 1be7f75d1668 ("bpf: enable non-root eBPF programs") because previously, CAP_SYS_ADMIN was required to reach the vulnerable code.
