2016-03-08math64: New separate div64_u64_rem helperMike Snitzer1-0/+40
Commit f792685006274a850e6cc0ea9ade275ccdfc90bc ("math64: New div64_u64_rem helper") implemented div64_u64 in terms of div64_u64_rem. But div64_u64_rem was removed because it slowed down div64_u64 (and there were no other users of div64_u64_rem). Device Mapper's I/O statistics support has a need for div64_u64_rem; reintroduce this helper as a separate method that doesn't slow down div64_u64, especially on 32-bit systems.

2016-01-07mutex: Add w/w mutex slowpath debuggingDaniel Vetter1-0/+13
Injects EDEADLK conditions at pseudo-random interval, with exponential backoff up to UINT_MAX (to ensure that every lock operation still completes in a reasonable time). This way we can test the wound slowpath even for ww mutex users where contention is never expected, and the ww deadlock avoidance algorithm is only needed for correctness against malicious userspace. An example would be protecting kernel modesetting properties, which thanks to single-threaded X isn't really expected to contend, ever. I've looked into using the CONFIG_FAULT_INJECTION infrastructure, but decided against it for two reasons: - EDEADLK handling is mandatory for ww mutex users and should never affect the outcome of a syscall. This is in contrast to -ENOMEM injection. So fine configurability isn't required. - The fault injection framework only allows to set a simple probability for failure. Now the probability that a ww mutex acquire stage with N locks will never complete (due to too many injected EDEADLK backoffs) is zero. But the expected number of ww_mutex_lock operations for the completely uncontended case would be O(exp(N)). The per-acuiqire ctx exponential backoff solution choosen here only results in O(log N) overhead due to injection and so O(log N * N) lock operations. This way we can fail with high probability (and so have good test coverage even for fancy backoff and lock acquisition paths) without running into patalogical cases. Note that EDEADLK will only ever be injected when we managed to acquire the lock. This prevents any behaviour changes for users which rely on the EALREADY semantics.

2016-01-07mutex: Add support for wound/wait style locksMaarten Lankhorst1-0/+2
Wound/wait mutexes are used when other multiple lock acquisitions of a similar type can be done in an arbitrary order. The deadlock handling used here is called wait/wound in the RDBMS literature: The older tasks waits until it can acquire the contended lock. The younger tasks needs to back off and drop all the locks it is currently holding, i.e. the younger task is wounded. For full documentation please read Documentation/ww-mutex-design.txt.

2015-12-22__bitmap_parselist: fix bug in empty string handlingChris Metcalf1-8/+9
commit 2528a8b8f457d7432552d0e2b6f0f4046bb702f4 upstream. bitmap_parselist("", &mask, nmaskbits) will erroneously set bit zero in the mask. The same bug is visible in cpumask_parselist() since it is layered on top of the bitmask code, e.g. if you boot with "isolcpus=", you will actually end up with cpu zero isolated. The bug was introduced in commit 4b060420a596 ("bitmap, irq: add smp_affinity_list interface to /proc/irq") when bitmap_parselist() was generalized to support userspace as well as kernelspace.

2015-12-22lib: memzero_explicit: use barrier instead of OPTIMIZER_HIDE_VARmancha security1-1/+1
commit 0b053c9518292705736329a8fe20ef4686ffc8e9 upstream. OPTIMIZER_HIDE_VAR(), as defined when using gcc, is insufficient to ensure protection from dead store optimization.

We have to use a compiler barrier instead. Minimal test example when we assume memzero_explicit() would *not* be a call, but would have been *inlined* instead: static inline void memzero_explicit(void *s, size_t count) { memset(s, 0, count); <foo> } int main(void) { char buff[20]; snprintf(buff, sizeof(buff) - 1, "test"); printf("%s", buff); memzero_explicit(buff, sizeof(buff)); return 0; } With <foo> := OPTIMIZER_HIDE_VAR(): (gdb) disassemble main Dump of assembler code for function main: [...] 0x0000000000400464 <+36>: callq 0x400410 <printf@plt> 0x0000000000400469 <+41>: xor %eax,%eax 0x000000000040046b <+43>: add $0x28,%rsp 0x000000000040046f <+47>: retq End of assembler dump.

2015-12-22lzo: check for length overrun in variable length encoding.Willy Tarreau1-6/+37
commit 72cf90124e87d975d0b2114d930808c58b4c05e4 upstream. This fix ensures that we never meet an integer overflow while adding 255 while parsing a variable length encoding. It works differently from commit 206a81c ("lzo: properly check for overruns") because instead of ensuring that we don't overrun the input, which is tricky to guarantee due to many assumptions in the code, it simply checks that the cumulated number of 255 read cannot overflow by bounding this number. The MAX_255_COUNT is the maximum number of times we can add 255 to a base count without overflowing an integer. The multiply will overflow when multiplying 255 by more than MAXINT/255. The sum will overflow earlier depending on the base count. Since the base count is taken from a u8 and a few bits, it is safe to assume that it will always be lower than or equal to 2*255, thus we can always prevent any overflow by accepting two less 255 steps. This patch also reduces the CPU overhead and actually increases performance by 1.1% compared to the initial code, while the previous fix costs 3.1% (measured on x86_64). The fix needs to be backported to all currently supported stable kernels. Reported-by: Willem Pinckaers <willem@lekkertech.net> Cc: "Don A.

2015-12-22idr: fix overflow bug during maximum ID calculation at maximum heightLai Jiangshan1-5/+3
commit 3afb69cb5572b3c8c898c00880803cf1a49852c4 upstream. idr_replace() open-codes the logic to calculate the maximum valid ID given the height of the idr tree; unfortunately, the open-coded logic doesn't account for the fact that the top layer may have unused slots and over-shifts the limit to zero when the tree is at its maximum height. The following test code shows it fails to replace the value for id=((1<<27)+42): static void test5(void) { int id; DEFINE_IDR(test_idr); #define TEST5_START ((1<<27)+42) /* use the highest layer */ printk(KERN_INFO "Start test5\n"); id = idr_alloc(&test_idr, (void *)1, TEST5_START, 0, GFP_KERNEL); BUG_ON(id != TEST5_START); TEST_BUG_ON(idr_replace(&test_idr, (void *)2, TEST5_START) != (void *)1); idr_destroy(&test_idr); printk(KERN_INFO "End of test5\n"); } Fix the bug by using idr_max() which correctly takes into account the maximum allowed shift. sub_alloc() shares the same problem and may incorrectly fail with -EAGAIN; however, this bug doesn't affect correct operation because idr_get_empty_slot(), which already uses idr_max(), retries with the increased @id in such cases.

2015-12-22x86, hweight: Fix BUG when booting with CONFIG_GCOV_PROFILE_ALL=yPeter Oberparleiter1-0/+1
commit 6583327c4dd55acbbf2a6f25e775b28b3abf9a42 upstream. Commit d61931d89b, "x86: Add optimized popcnt variants" introduced compile flag -fcall-saved-rdi for lib/hweight.c. When combined with options -fprofile-arcs and -O2, this flag causes gcc to generate broken constructor code. As a result, a 64 bit x86 kernel compiled with CONFIG_GCOV_PROFILE_ALL=y prints message "gcov: could not create file" and runs into sproadic BUGs during boot. The gcc people indicate that these kinds of problems are endemic when using ad hoc calling conventions. It is therefore best to treat any file compiled with ad hoc calling conventions as an isolated environment and avoid things like profiling or coverage analysis, since those subsystems assume a "normal" calling conventions. This patch avoids the bug by excluding lib/hweight.o from coverage profiling.

2015-12-22lib/decompressors: fix "no limit" output buffer lengthAlexandre Courbot1-1/+1
commit 1431574a1c4c669a0c198e4763627837416e4443 upstream. When decompressing into memory, the output buffer length is set to some arbitrarily high value (0x7fffffff) to indicate the output is, virtually, unlimited in size. The problem with this is that some platforms have their physical memory at high physical addresses (0x80000000 or more), and that the output buffer address and its "unlimited" length cannot be added without overflowing. An example of this can be found in inflate_fast(): /* next_out is the output buffer address */ out = strm->next_out - OFF; /* avail_out is the output buffer size. end will overflow if the output * address is >= 0x80000104 */ end = out + (strm->avail_out - 257); This has huge consequences on the performance of kernel decompression, since the following exit condition of inflate_fast() will be always true: } while (in < last && out < end); Indeed, "end" has overflowed and is now always lower than "out". As a result, inflate_fast() will return after processing one single byte of input data, and will thus need to be called an unreasonably high number of times. This probably went unnoticed because kernel decompression is fast enough even with this issue. Nonetheless, adjusting the output buffer length in such a way that the above pointer arithmetic never overflows results in a kernel decompression that is about 3 times faster on affected machines.

2015-12-22lib/genalloc.c: fix overflow of ending address of memory chunkJoonyoung Shim1-7/+12
commit 674470d97958a0ec72f72caf7f6451da40159cc7 upstream. In struct gen_pool_chunk, end_addr means the end address of memory chunk (inclusive), but in the implementation it is treated as address + size of memory chunk (exclusive), so it points to the address plus one instead of correct ending address. The ending address of memory chunk plus one will cause overflow on the memory chunk including the last address of memory map, e.g. when starting address is 0xFFF00000 and size is 0x100000 on 32bit machine, ending address will be 0x100000000. Use correct ending address like starting address + size - 1.

2015-12-22random32: fix off-by-one in seeding requirementDaniel Borkmann1-7/+7
[ Upstream commit 51c37a70aaa3f95773af560e6db3073520513912 ] For properly initialising the Tausworthe generator [1], we have a strict seeding requirement, that is, s1 > 1, s2 > 7, s3 > 15. Commit 697f8d0348 ("random32: seeding improvement") introduced a __seed() function that imposes boundary checks proposed by the errata paper [2] to properly ensure above conditions. However, we're off by one, as the function is implemented as: "return (x < m) ? x + m : x;", and called with __seed(X, 1), __seed(X, 7), __seed(X, 15). Thus, an unwanted seed of 1, 7, 15 would be possible, whereas the lower boundary should actually be of at least 2, 8, 16, just as GSL does. Fix this, as otherwise an initialization with an unwanted seed could have the effect that Tausworthe's PRNG properties cannot not be ensured. Note that this PRNG is *not* used for cryptography in the kernel.

2015-12-22vsprintf: check real user/group id for %pKRyan Mallon1-3/+30
commit 312b4e226951f707e120b95b118cbc14f3d162b2 upstream. Some setuid binaries will allow reading of files which have read permission by the real user id. This is problematic with files which use %pK because the file access permission is checked at open() time, but the kptr_restrict setting is checked at read() time. If a setuid binary opens a %pK file as an unprivileged user, and then elevates permissions before reading the file, then kernel pointer values may be leaked. This happens for example with the setuid pppd application on Ubuntu 12.04: $ head -1 /proc/kallsyms 00000000 T startup_32 $ pppd file /proc/kallsyms pppd: In file /proc/kallsyms: unrecognized option 'c1000000' This will only leak the pointer value from the first line, but other setuid binaries may leak more information. Fix this by adding a check that in addition to the current process having CAP_SYSLOG, that effective user and group ids are equal to the real ids. If a setuid binary reads the contents of a file which uses %pK then the pointer values will be printed as NULL if the real user is unprivileged. Update the sysctl documentation to reflect the changes, and also correct the documentation to state the kptr_restrict=0 is the default. This is a only temporary solution to the issue. The correct solution is to do the permission check at open() time on files, and to replace %pK with a function which checks the open() time permission. %pK uses in printk should be removed since no sane permission check can be done, and instead protected by using dmesg_restrict.

2015-12-22lib/scatterlist.c: don't flush_kernel_dcache_page on slab pageMing Lei1-1/+2
commit 3d77b50c5874b7e923be946ba793644f82336b75 upstream. Commit b1adaf65ba03 ("[SCSI] block: add sg buffer copy helper functions") introduces two sg buffer copy helpers, and calls flush_kernel_dcache_page() on pages in SG list after these pages are written to. Unfortunately, the commit may introduce a potential bug: - Before sending some SCSI commands, kmalloc() buffer may be passed to block layper, so flush_kernel_dcache_page() can see a slab page finally - According to cachetlb.txt, flush_kernel_dcache_page() is only called on "a user page", which surely can't be a slab page. - ARCH's implementation of flush_kernel_dcache_page() may use page mapping information to do optimization so page_mapping() will see the slab page, then VM_BUG_ON() is triggered. Aaro Koskinen reported the bug on ARM/kirkwood when DEBUG_VM is enabled, and this patch fixes the bug by adding test of '!PageSlab(miter->page)' before calling flush_kernel_dcache_page().

2013-05-07rwsem: check counter to avoid cmpxchg callsDavidlohr Bueso1-1/+3
This patch tries to reduce the amount of cmpxchg calls in the writer failed path by checking the counter value first before issuing the instruction. If ->count is not set to RWSEM_WAITING_BIAS then there is no point wasting a cmpxchg call. Furthermore, Michel states "I suppose it helps due to the case where someone else steals the lock while we're trying to acquire sem->wait_lock." Two very different workloads and machines were used to see how this patch improves throughput: pgbench on a quad-core laptop and aim7 on a large 8 socket box with 80 cores.

2013-05-07rwsem: implement support for write lock stealing on the fastpathMichel Lespinasse1-32/+32
When we decide to wake up readers, we must first grant them as many read locks as necessary, and then actually wake up all these readers. But in order to know how many read shares to grant, we must first count the readers at the head of the queue. This might take a while if there are many readers, and we want to be protected against a writer stealing the lock while we're counting. To that end, we grant the first reader lock before counting how many more readers are queued. We also require some adjustments to the wake_type semantics. RWSEM_WAKE_NO_ACTIVE used to mean that we had found the count to be RWSEM_WAITING_BIAS, in which case the rwsem was known to be free as nobody could steal it while we hold the wait_lock. This doesn't make sense once we implement fastpath write lock stealing, so we now use RWSEM_WAKE_ANY in that case. Similarly, when rwsem_down_write_failed found that a read lock was active, it would use RWSEM_WAKE_READ_OWNED which signalled that new readers could be woken without checking first that the rwsem was available. We can't do that anymore since the existing readers might release their read locks, and a writer could steal the lock before we wake up additional readers. So, we have to use a new RWSEM_WAKE_READERS value to indicate we only want to wake readers, but we don't currently hold any read lock.

Using rwsem_atomic_update to try stealing the write lock forced us to undo the adjustment in the failure path. We can have simpler and faster code by using cmpxchg instead.

2013-05-07rwsem: more agressive lock stealing in rwsem_down_write_failedMichel Lespinasse1-21/+8
Some small code simplifications can be achieved by doing more agressive lock stealing: - When rwsem_down_write_failed() notices that there are no active locks (and thus no thread to wake us if we decided to sleep), it used to wake the first queued process. However, stealing the lock is also sufficient to deal with this case, so we don't need this check anymore. - In try_get_writer_sem(), we can steal the lock even when the first waiter is a reader. This is correct because the code path that wakes readers is protected by the wait_lock. As to the performance effects of this change, they are expected to be minimal: readers are still granted the lock (rather than having to acquire it themselves) when they reach the front of the wait queue, so we have essentially the same behavior as in rwsem-spinlock.

2013-05-07rwsem: simplify rwsem_down_write_failedMichel Lespinasse1-24/+9
When waking writers, we never grant them the lock - instead, they have to acquire it themselves when they run, and remove themselves from the wait_list when they succeed. As a result, we can do a few simplifications in rwsem_down_write_failed(): - We don't need to check for !waiter.task since __rwsem_do_wake() doesn't remove writers from the wait_list - There is no point releaseing the wait_lock before entering the wait loop, as we will need to reacquire it immediately. We can change the loop so that the lock is always held at the start of each loop iteration. - We don't need to get a reference on the task structure, since the task is responsible for removing itself from the wait_list. There is no risk, like in the rwsem_down_read_failed() case, that a task would wake up and exit (thus destroying its task structure) while __rwsem_do_wake() is still running - wait_lock protects against that.

2013-05-07rwsem: simplify rwsem_down_read_failedMichel Lespinasse1-20/+2
When trying to acquire a read lock, the RWSEM_ACTIVE_READ_BIAS adjustment doesn't cause other readers to block, so we never have to worry about waking them back after canceling this adjustment in rwsem_down_read_failed(). We also never want to steal the lock in rwsem_down_read_failed(), so we don't have to grab the wait_lock either.

2013-05-07rwsem: move rwsem_down_failed_common code into rwsem_down_{read,write}_failedMichel Lespinasse1-15/+57
Remove the rwsem_down_failed_common function and replace it with two identical copies of its code in rwsem_down_{read,write}_failed. This is because we want to make different optimizations in rwsem_down_{read,write}_failed; we are adding this pure-duplication step as a separate commit in order to make it easier to check the following steps.

2013-05-07rwsem: shorter spinlocked section in rwsem_down_failed_common()Michel Lespinasse1-5/+3
This change reduces the size of the spinlocked and TASK_UNINTERRUPTIBLE sections in rwsem_down_failed_common(): - We only need the sem->wait_lock to insert ourselves on the wait_list; the waiter node can be prepared outside of the wait_lock. - The task state only needs to be set to TASK_UNINTERRUPTIBLE immediately before checking if we actually need to sleep; it doesn't need to protect the entire function.
