cpu/hotplug: Prevent crash when CPU bringup fails on CONFIG_HOTPLUG_CPU=n

2019-04-03T04:24:19Z

commit 206b92353c839c0b27a0b9bec24195f93fd6cf7a upstream. Tianyu reported a crash in a CPU hotplug teardown callback when booting a kernel which has CONFIG_HOTPLUG_CPU disabled with the 'nosmt' boot parameter. It turns out that the SMP=y CONFIG_HOTPLUG_CPU=n case has been broken forever in case that a bringup callback fails. Unfortunately this issue was not recognized when the CPU hotplug code was reworked, so the shortcoming just stayed in place. When a bringup callback fails, the CPU hotplug code rolls back the operation and takes the CPU offline. The 'nosmt' command line argument uses a bringup failure to abort the bringup of SMT sibling CPUs. This partial bringup is required due to the MCE misdesign on Intel CPUs. With CONFIG_HOTPLUG_CPU=y the rollback works perfectly fine, but CONFIG_HOTPLUG_CPU=n lacks essential mechanisms to exercise the low level teardown of a CPU including the synchronizations in various facilities like RCU, NOHZ and others. As a consequence the teardown callbacks which must be executed on the outgoing CPU within stop machine with interrupts disabled are executed on the control CPU in interrupt enabled and preemptible context causing the kernel to crash and burn. The pre state machine code has a different failure mode which is more subtle and resulting in a less obvious use after free crash because the control side frees resources which are still in use by the undead CPU. But this is not a x86 only problem. Any architecture which supports the SMP=y HOTPLUG_CPU=n combination suffers from the same issue. It's just less likely to be triggered because in 99.99999% of the cases all bringup callbacks succeed. The easy solution of making HOTPLUG_CPU mandatory for SMP is not working on all architectures as the following architectures have either no hotplug support at all or not all subarchitectures support it: alpha, arc, hexagon, openrisc, riscv, sparc (32bit), mips (partial). Crashing the kernel in such a situation is not an acceptable state either. Implement a minimal rollback variant by limiting the teardown to the point where all regular teardown callbacks have been invoked and leave the CPU in the 'dead' idle state. This has the following consequences: - the CPU is brought down to the point where the stop_machine takedown would happen. - the CPU stays there forever and is idle - The CPU is cleared in the CPU active mask, but not in the CPU online mask which is a legit state. - Interrupts are not forced away from the CPU - All facilities which only look at online mask would still see it, but that is the case during normal hotplug/unplug operations as well. It's just a (way) longer time frame. This will expose issues, which haven't been exposed before or only seldom, because now the normally transient state of being non active but online is a permanent state. In testing this exposed already an issue vs. work queues where the vmstat code schedules work on the almost dead CPU which ends up in an unbound workqueue and triggers 'preemtible context' warnings. This is not a problem of this change, it merily exposes an already existing issue. Still this is better than crashing fully without a chance to debug it. This is mainly thought as workaround for those architectures which do not support HOTPLUG_CPU. All others should enforce HOTPLUG_CPU for SMP.

locking/lockdep: Add debug_locks check in __lock_downgrade()

2019-03-27T05:13:03Z

commit 71492580571467fb7177aade19c18ce7486267f5 upstream. Tetsuo Handa had reported he saw an incorrect "downgrading a read lock" warning right after a previous lockdep warning. It is likely that the previous warning turned off lock debugging causing the lockdep to have inconsistency states leading to the lock downgrade warning. Fix that by add a check for debug_locks at the beginning of __lock_downgrade().

futex: Ensure that futex address is aligned in handle_futex_death()

2019-03-27T05:13:03Z

commit 5a07168d8d89b00fe1760120714378175b3ef992 upstream. The futex code requires that the user space addresses of futexes are 32bit aligned. sys_futex() checks this in futex_get_keys() but the robust list code has no alignment check in place. As a consequence the kernel crashes on architectures with strict alignment requirements in handle_futex_death() when trying to cmpxchg() on an unaligned futex address which was retrieved from the robust list.

rcu: Do RCU GP kthread self-wakeup from softirq and interrupt

2019-03-23T12:19:53Z

commit 1d1f898df6586c5ea9aeaf349f13089c6fa37903 upstream. The rcu_gp_kthread_wake() function is invoked when it might be necessary to wake the RCU grace-period kthread. Because self-wakeups are normally a useless waste of CPU cycles, if rcu_gp_kthread_wake() is invoked from this kthread, it naturally refuses to do the wakeup. Unfortunately, natural though it might be, this heuristic fails when rcu_gp_kthread_wake() is invoked from an interrupt or softirq handler that interrupted the grace-period kthread just after the final check of the wait-event condition but just before the schedule() call. In this case, a wakeup is required, even though the call to rcu_gp_kthread_wake() is within the RCU grace-period kthread's context. Failing to provide this wakeup can result in grace periods failing to start, which in turn results in out-of-memory conditions. This race window is quite narrow, but it actually did happen during real testing. It would of course need to be fixed even if it was strictly theoretical in nature. This patch does not Cc stable because it does not apply cleanly to earlier kernel versions.

kernel/sysctl.c: add missing range check in do_proc_dointvec_minmax_conv

commit 8cf7630b29701d364f8df4a50e4f1f5e752b2778 upstream. This bug has apparently existed since the introduction of this function in the pre-git era (4500e91754d3 in Thomas Gleixner's history.git, "[NET]: Add proc_dointvec_userhz_jiffies, use it for proper handling of neighbour sysctls."). As a minimal fix we can simply duplicate the corresponding check in do_proc_dointvec_conv().

tracing: Use strncpy instead of memcpy for string keys in hist triggers

2019-03-23T12:19:45Z

commit 9f0bbf3115ca9f91f43b7c74e9ac7d79f47fc6c2 upstream. Because there may be random garbage beyond a string's null terminator, it's not correct to copy the the complete character array for use as a hist trigger key. This results in multiple histogram entries for the 'same' string key. So, in the case of a string key, use strncpy instead of memcpy to avoid copying in the extra bytes. Before, using the gdbus entries in the following hist trigger as an example: # echo 'hist:key=comm' > /sys/kernel/debug/tracing/events/sched/sched_waking/trigger # cat /sys/kernel/debug/tracing/events/sched/sched_waking/hist ... { comm: ImgDecoder #4 } hitcount: 203 { comm: gmain } hitcount: 213 { comm: gmain } hitcount: 216 { comm: StreamTrans #73 } hitcount: 221 { comm: mozStorage #3 } hitcount: 230 { comm: gdbus } hitcount: 233 { comm: StyleThread#5 } hitcount: 253 { comm: gdbus } hitcount: 256 { comm: gdbus } hitcount: 260 { comm: StyleThread#4 } hitcount: 271 ... # cat /sys/kernel/debug/tracing/events/sched/sched_waking/hist | egrep gdbus | wc -l 51 After: # cat /sys/kernel/debug/tracing/events/sched/sched_waking/hist | egrep gdbus | wc -l 1 Link: http://lkml.kernel.org/r/50c35ae1267d64eee975b8125e151e600071d4dc.1549309756.git.tom.zanussi@linux.intel.com Cc: Namhyung Kim Cc: stable@vger.kernel.org Fixes: 79e577cbce4c4 ("tracing: Support string type key properly") Signed-off-by: Tom Zanussi Signed-off-by: Steven Rostedt (VMware) Signed-off-by: Greg Kroah-Hartman

futex,rt_mutex: Restructure rt_mutex_finish_proxy_lock()

2019-03-13T21:05:01Z

commit 38d589f2fd08f1296aea3ce62bebd185125c6d81 upstream. With the ultimate goal of keeping rt_mutex wait_list and futex_q waiters consistent it's necessary to split 'rt_mutex_futex_lock()' into finer parts, such that only the actual blocking can be done without hb->lock held. Split split_mutex_finish_proxy_lock() into two parts, one that does the blocking and one that does remove_waiter() when the lock acquire failed. When the rtmutex was acquired successfully the waiter can be removed in the acquisiton path safely, since there is no concurrency on the lock owner. This means that, except for futex_lock_pi(), all wait_list modifications are done with both hb->lock and wait_lock held.

perf core: Fix perf_proc_update_handler() bug

2019-03-13T21:04:55Z

[ Upstream commit 1a51c5da5acc6c188c917ba572eebac5f8793432 ] The perf_proc_update_handler() handles /proc/sys/kernel/perf_event_max_sample_rate syctl variable. When the PMU IRQ handler timing monitoring is disabled, i.e, when /proc/sys/kernel/perf_cpu_time_max_percent is equal to 0 or 100, then no modification to sysctl_perf_event_sample_rate is allowed to prevent possible hang from wrong values. The problem is that the test to prevent modification is made after the sysctl variable is modified in perf_proc_update_handler(). You get an error: $ echo 10001 >/proc/sys/kernel/perf_event_max_sample_rate echo: write error: invalid argument But the value is still modified causing all sorts of inconsistencies: $ cat /proc/sys/kernel/perf_event_max_sample_rate 10001 This patch fixes the problem by moving the parsing of the value after the test.
