2015-05-06ksoftirqd: Enable IRQs and call cond_resched() before poking RCUCalvin Owens
commit 28423ad283d5348793b0c45cc9b1af058e776fd6 upstream. While debugging an issue with excessive softirq usage, I encountered the following note in commit 3e339b5dae24a706 ("softirq: Use hotplug thread infrastructure"): [ paulmck: Call rcu_note_context_switch() with interrupts enabled. ] ...but despite this note, the patch still calls RCU with IRQs disabled. This seemingly innocuous change caused a significant regression in softirq CPU usage on the sending side of a large TCP transfer (~1 GB/s): when introducing 0.01% packet loss, the softirq usage would jump to around 25%, spiking as high as 50%. Before the change, the usage would never exceed 5%. Moving the call to rcu_note_context_switch() after the cond_sched() call, as it was originally before the hotplug patch, completely eliminated this problem.

2015-05-06ptrace: fix race between ptrace_resume() and wait_task_stopped()Oleg Nesterov
commit b72c186999e689cb0b055ab1c7b3cd8fffbeb5ed upstream. ptrace_resume() is called when the tracee is still __TASK_TRACED. We set tracee->exit_code and then wake_up_state() changes tracee->state. If the tracer's sub-thread does wait() in between, task_stopped_code(ptrace => T) wrongly looks like another report from tracee. This confuses debugger, and since wait_task_stopped() clears ->exit_code the tracee can miss a signal. Test-case: #include <stdio.h> #include <unistd.h> #include <sys/wait.h> #include <sys/ptrace.h> #include <pthread.h> #include <assert.h> int pid; void *waiter(void *arg) { int stat; for (;;) { assert(pid == wait(&stat)); assert(WIFSTOPPED(stat)); if (WSTOPSIG(stat) == SIGHUP) continue; assert(WSTOPSIG(stat) == SIGCONT); printf("ERR! extra/wrong report:%x\n", stat); } } int main(void) { pthread_t thread; pid = fork(); if (!pid) { assert(ptrace(PTRACE_TRACEME, 0,0,0) == 0); for (;;) kill(getpid(), SIGHUP); } assert(pthread_create(&thread, NULL, waiter, NULL) == 0); for (;;) ptrace(PTRACE_CONT, pid, 0, SIGCONT); return 0; } Note for stable: the bug is very old, but without 9899d11f6544 "ptrace: ensure arch_ptrace/ptrace_request can never race with SIGKILL" the fix should use lock_task_sighand(child).

2015-05-06ring-buffer: Replace this_cpu_*() with __this_cpu_*()Steven Rostedt
commit 80a9b64e2c156b6523e7a01f2ba6e5d86e722814 upstream. It has come to my attention that this_cpu_read/write are horrible on architectures other than x86. Worse yet, they actually disable preemption or interrupts! This caused some unexpected tracing results on ARM. 101.356868: preempt_count_add <-ring_buffer_lock_reserve 101.356870: preempt_count_sub <-ring_buffer_lock_reserve The ring_buffer_lock_reserve has recursion protection that requires accessing a per cpu variable. But since preempt_disable() is traced, it too got traced while accessing the variable that is suppose to prevent recursion like this. The generic version of this_cpu_read() and write() are: #define this_cpu_generic_read(pcp) \ ({ typeof(pcp) ret__; \ preempt_disable(); \ ret__ = *this_cpu_ptr(&(pcp)); \ preempt_enable(); \ ret__; \ }) #define this_cpu_generic_to_op(pcp, val, op) \ do { \ unsigned long flags; \ raw_local_irq_save(flags); \ *__this_cpu_ptr(&(pcp)) op val; \ raw_local_irq_restore(flags); \ } while (0) Which is unacceptable for locations that know they are within preempt disabled or interrupt disabled locations. Paul McKenney stated that __this_cpu_() versions produce much better code on other architectures than this_cpu_() does, if we know that the call is done in a preempt disabled location. I also changed the recursive_unlock() to use two local variables instead of accessing the per_cpu variable twice.

2015-04-19sched: Fix RLIMIT_RTTIME when PI-boosting to RTBrian Silverman
commit 746db9443ea57fd9c059f62c4bfbf41cf224fe13 upstream. When non-realtime tasks get priority-inheritance boosted to a realtime scheduling class, RLIMIT_RTTIME starts to apply to them. However, the counter used for checking this (the same one used for SCHED_RR timeslices) was not getting reset. This meant that tasks running with a non-realtime scheduling class which are repeatedly boosted to a realtime one, but never block while they are running realtime, eventually hit the timeout without ever running for a time over the limit. This patch resets the realtime timeslice counter when un-PI-boosting from an RT to a non-RT scheduling class. I have some test code with two threads and a shared PTHREAD_PRIO_INHERIT mutex which induces priority boosting and spins while boosted that gets killed by a SIGXCPU on non-fixed kernels but doesn't with this patch applied. It happens much faster with a CONFIG_PREEMPT_RT kernel, and does happen eventually with PREEMPT_VOLUNTARY kernels.

This happens because processing the perf irq_work triggers another perf event (tracepoint stuff) which in turn generates an irq_work ad infinitum. Avoid this by raising the recursion counter in the irq_work -- which effectively disables all software events (including tracepoints) from actually triggering again.

2015-03-26cpuset: Fix cpuset sched_relax_domain_levelJason Low
commit 283cb41f426b723a0255702b761b0fc5d1b53a81 upstream. The cpuset.sched_relax_domain_level can control how far we do immediate load balancing on a system. However, it was found on recent kernels that echo'ing a value into cpuset.sched_relax_domain_level did not reduce any immediate load balancing. The reason this occurred was because the update_domain_attr_tree() traversal did not update for the "top_cpuset". This resulted in nothing being changed when modifying the sched_relax_domain_level parameter. This patch is able to address that problem by having update_domain_attr_tree() allow updates for the root in the cpuset traversal.

2015-03-26workqueue: fix hang involving racing cancel[_delayed]_work_sync()'s for ↵Tejun Heo
PREEMPT_NONE commit 8603e1b30027f943cc9c1eef2b291d42c3347af1 upstream. cancel[_delayed]_work_sync() are implemented using __cancel_work_timer() which grabs the PENDING bit using try_to_grab_pending() and then flushes the work item with PENDING set to prevent the on-going execution of the work item from requeueing itself. try_to_grab_pending() can always grab PENDING bit without blocking except when someone else is doing the above flushing during cancelation. In that case, try_to_grab_pending() returns -ENOENT. In this case, __cancel_work_timer() currently invokes flush_work(). The assumption is that the completion of the work item is what the other canceling task would be waiting for too and thus waiting for the same condition and retrying should allow forward progress without excessive busy looping Unfortunately, this doesn't work if preemption is disabled or the latter task has real time priority. Let's say task A just got woken up from flush_work() by the completion of the target work item. If, before task A starts executing, task B gets scheduled and invokes __cancel_work_timer() on the same work item, its try_to_grab_pending() will return -ENOENT as the work item is still being canceled by task A and flush_work() will also immediately return false as the work item is no longer executing. This puts task B in a busy loop possibly preventing task A from executing and clearing the canceling state on the work item leading to a hang. task A task B worker executing work __cancel_work_timer() try_to_grab_pending() set work CANCELING flush_work() block for work completion completion, wakes up A __cancel_work_timer() while (forever) { try_to_grab_pending() -ENOENT as work is being canceled flush_work() false as work is no longer executing } This patch removes the possible hang by updating __cancel_work_timer() to explicitly wait for clearing of CANCELING rather than invoking flush_work() after try_to_grab_pending() fails with -ENOENT.

2015-03-06ntp: Fixup adjtimex freq validation on 32-bit systemsJohn Stultz
commit 29183a70b0b828500816bd794b3fe192fce89f73 upstream. Additional validation of adjtimex freq values to avoid potential multiplication overflows were added in commit 5e5aeb4367b (time: adjtimex: Validate the ADJ_FREQUENCY values) Unfortunately the patch used LONG_MAX/MIN instead of LLONG_MAX/MIN, which was fine on 64-bit systems, but being much smaller on 32-bit systems caused false positives resulting in most direct frequency adjustments to fail w/ EINVAL. ntpd only does direct frequency adjustments at startup, so the issue was not as easily observed there, but other time sync applications like ptpd and chrony were more effected by the bug. See bugs: https://bugzilla.kernel.org/show_bug.cgi?id=92481 https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=1188074 This patch changes the checks to use LLONG_MAX for clarity, and additionally the checks are disabled on 32-bit systems since LLONG_MAX/PPM_SCALE is always larger then the 32-bit long freq value, so multiplication overflows aren't possible there.

2015-02-05workqueue: fix subtle pool management issue which can stall whole worker_poolTejun Heo
commit 29187a9eeaf362d8422e62e17a22a6e115277a49 upstream. A worker_pool's forward progress is guaranteed by the fact that the last idle worker assumes the manager role to create more workers and summon the rescuers if creating workers doesn't succeed in timely manner before proceeding to execute work items. This manager role is implemented in manage_workers(), which indicates whether the worker may proceed to work item execution with its return value. This is necessary because multiple workers may contend for the manager role, and, if there already is a manager, others should proceed to work item execution. Unfortunately, the function also indicates that the worker may proceed to work item execution if need_to_create_worker() is false at the head of the function. need_to_create_worker() tests the following conditions. pending work items && !nr_running && !nr_idle The first and third conditions are protected by pool->lock and thus won't change while holding pool->lock; however, nr_running can change asynchronously as other workers block and resume and while it's likely to be zero, as someone woke this worker up in the first place, some other workers could have become runnable inbetween making it non-zero. If this happens, manage_worker() could return false even with zero nr_idle making the worker, the last idle one, proceed to execute work items. If then all workers of the pool end up blocking on a resource which can only be released by a work item which is pending on that pool, the whole pool can deadlock as there's no one to create more workers or summon the rescuers. This patch fixes the problem by removing the early exit condition from maybe_create_worker() and making manage_workers() return false iff there's already another manager, which ensures that the last worker doesn't start executing work items. We can leave the early exit condition alone and just ignore the return value but the only reason it was put there is because the manage_workers() used to perform both creations and destructions of workers and thus the function may be invoked while the pool is trying to reduce the number of workers. Now that manage_workers() is called only when more workers are needed, the only case this early exit condition is triggered is rare race conditions rendering it pointless. Tested with simulated workload and modified workqueue code which trigger the pool deadlock reliably without this patch. tj: Updated to v3.14 where manage_workers() is responsible not only for creating more workers but also destroying surplus ones. maybe_create_worker() needs to keep its early exit condition to avoid creating a new worker when manage_workers() is called to destroy surplus ones. Other than that, the adaptabion is straight-forward. Both maybe_{create|destroy}_worker() functions are converted to return void and manage_workers() returns %false iff it lost manager arbitration.

2015-01-27genirq: Prevent proc race against freeing of irq descriptorsThomas Gleixner
commit c291ee622165cb2c8d4e7af63fffd499354a23be upstream. Since the rework of the sparse interrupt code to actually free the unused interrupt descriptors there exists a race between the /proc interfaces to the irq subsystem and the code which frees the interrupt descriptor. CPU0 CPU1 show_interrupts() desc = irq_to_desc(X); free_desc(desc) remove_from_radix_tree(); kfree(desc); raw_spinlock_irq(&desc->lock); /proc/interrupts is the only interface which can actively corrupt kernel memory via the lock access. /proc/stat can only read from freed memory. Extremly hard to trigger, but possible. The interfaces in /proc/irq/N/ are not affected by this because the removal of the proc file is serialized in procfs against concurrent readers/writers. The removal happens before the descriptor is freed. For architectures which have CONFIG_SPARSE_IRQ=n this is a non issue as the descriptor is never freed. It's merely cleared out with the irq descriptor lock held. So any concurrent proc access will either see the old correct value or the cleared out ones. Protect the lookup and access to the irq descriptor in show_interrupts() with the sparse_irq_lock. Provide kstat_irqs_usr() which is protecting the lookup and access with sparse_irq_lock and switch /proc/stat to use it. Document the existing kstat_irqs interfaces so it's clear that the caller needs to take care about protection. The users of these interfaces are either not affected due to SPARSE_IRQ=n or already protected against removal.

2015-01-27tick/powerclamp: Remove tick_nohz_idle abuseThomas Gleixner
commit a5fd9733a30d18d7ac23f17080e7e07bb3205b69 upstream. commit 4dbd27711cd9 "tick: export nohz tick idle symbols for module use" was merged via the thermal tree without an explicit ack from the relevant maintainers. The exports are abused by the intel powerclamp driver which implements a fake idle state from a sched FIFO task. This causes all kinds of wreckage in the NOHZ core code which rightfully assumes that tick_nohz_idle_enter/exit() are only called from the idle task itself. Recent changes in the NOHZ core lead to a failure of the powerclamp driver and now people try to hack completely broken and backwards workarounds into the NOHZ core code. This is completely unacceptable and just papers over the real problem. There are way more subtle issues lurking around the corner. The real solution is to fix the powerclamp driver by rewriting it with a sane concept, but that's beyond the scope of this. So the only solution for now is to remove the calls into the core NOHZ code from the powerclamp trainwreck along with the exports.

2015-01-16perf: Fix events installation during moving groupJiri Olsa
commit 9fc81d87420d0d3fd62d5e5529972c0ad9eab9cc upstream. We allow PMU driver to change the cpu on which the event should be installed to. This happened in patch: e2d37cd213dc ("perf: Allow the PMU driver to choose the CPU on which to install events") This patch also forces all the group members to follow the currently opened events cpu if the group happened to be moved. This and the change of event->cpu in perf_install_in_context() function introduced in: 0cda4c023132 ("perf: Introduce perf_pmu_migrate_context()") forces group members to change their event->cpu, if the currently-opened-event's PMU changed the cpu and there is a group move. Above behaviour causes problem for breakpoint events, which uses event->cpu to touch cpu specific data for breakpoints accounting. By changing event->cpu, some breakpoints slots were wrongly accounted for given cpu. Vinces's perf fuzzer hit this issue and caused following WARN on my setup: WARNING: CPU: 0 PID: 20214 at arch/x86/kernel/hw_breakpoint.c:119 arch_install_hw_breakpoint+0x142/0x150() Can't find any breakpoint slot [...] This patch changes the group moving code to keep the event's original cpu.

2015-01-16sched/deadline: Avoid double-accounting in case of missed deadlinesLuca Abeni
commit 269ad8015a6b2bb1cf9e684da4921eb6fa0a0c88 upstream. The dl_runtime_exceeded() function is supposed to ckeck if a SCHED_DEADLINE task must be throttled, by checking if its current runtime is <= 0. However, it also checks if the scheduling deadline has been missed (the current time is larger than the current scheduling deadline), further decreasing the runtime if this happens. This "double accounting" is wrong: - In case of partitioned scheduling (or single CPU), this happens if task_tick_dl() has been called later than expected (due to small HZ values). In this case, the current runtime is also negative, and replenish_dl_entity() can take care of the deadline miss by recharging the current runtime to a value smaller than dl_runtime - In case of global scheduling on multiple CPUs, scheduling deadlines can be missed even if the task did not consume more runtime than expected, hence penalizing the task is wrong This patch fix this problem by throttling a SCHED_DEADLINE task only when its runtime becomes negative, and not modifying the runtime Signed-off-by: Luca Abeni <luca.abeni@unitn.it> Signed-off-by: Peter Zijlstra (Intel) <peterz@infradead.org> Acked-by: Juri Lelli <juri.lelli@gmail.com> Cc: Dario Faggioli <raistlin@linux.it> Cc: Linus Torvalds <torvalds@linux-foundation.org> Link: http://lkml.kernel.org/r/1418813432-20797-3-git-send-email-luca.abeni@unitn.it Signed-off-by: Ingo Molnar <mingo@kernel.org> Signed-off-by: Greg Kroah-Hartman <gregkh@linuxfoundation.org>
2015-01-16sched/deadline: Fix migration of SCHED_DEADLINE tasksLuca Abeni
commit 6a503c3be937d275113b702e0421e5b0720abe8a upstream. According to global EDF, tasks should be migrated between runqueues without checking if their scheduling deadlines and runtimes are valid. However, SCHED_DEADLINE currently performs such a check: a migration happens doing: deactivate_task(rq, next_task, 0); set_task_cpu(next_task, later_rq->cpu); activate_task(later_rq, next_task, 0); which ends up calling dequeue_task_dl(), setting the new CPU, and then calling enqueue_task_dl(). enqueue_task_dl() then calls enqueue_dl_entity(), which calls update_dl_entity(), which can modify scheduling deadline and runtime, breaking global EDF scheduling. As a result, some of the properties of global EDF are not respected: for example, a taskset {(30, 80), (40, 80), (120, 170)} scheduled on two cores can have unbounded response times for the third task even if 30/80+40/80+120/170 = 1.5809 < 2 This can be fixed by invoking update_dl_entity() only in case of wakeup, or if this is a new SCHED_DEADLINE task.

This broke userspace by not returning the same information that was sent and expected. The rule: auditctl -a exit,never -F auid=-1 gives: auditctl -l LIST_RULES: exit,never f24=0 syscall=all when it should give: LIST_RULES: exit,never auid=-1 (0xffffffff) syscall=all Tag it so that it is reported the same way it was set.

2015-01-08userns: Add a knob to disable setgroups on a per user namespace basisEric W. Biederman
commit 9cc46516ddf497ea16e8d7cb986ae03a0f6b92f8 upstream. - Expose the knob to user space through a proc file /proc/<pid>/setgroups A value of "deny" means the setgroups system call is disabled in the current processes user namespace and can not be enabled in the future in this user namespace. A value of "allow" means the segtoups system call is enabled. - Descendant user namespaces inherit the value of setgroups from their parents. - A proc file is used (instead of a sysctl) as sysctls currently do not allow checking the permissions at open time. - Writing to the proc file is restricted to before the gid_map for the user namespace is set. This ensures that disabling setgroups at a user namespace level will never remove the ability to call setgroups from a process that already has that ability. A process may opt in to the setgroups disable for itself by creating, entering and configuring a user namespace or by calling setns on an existing user namespace with setgroups disabled. Processes without privileges already can not call setgroups so this is a noop. Prodcess with privilege become processes without privilege when entering a user namespace and as with any other path to dropping privilege they would not have the ability to call setgroups. So this remains within the bounds of what is possible without a knob to disable setgroups permanently in a user namespace. Signed-off-by: "Eric W.

commit f95d7918bd1e724675de4940039f2865e5eec5fe upstream. If you did not create the user namespace and are allowed to write to uid_map or gid_map you should already have the necessary privilege in the parent user namespace to establish any mapping you want so this will not affect userspace in practice. Limiting unprivileged uid mapping establishment to the creator of the user namespace makes it easier to verify all credentials obtained with the uid mapping can be obtained without the uid mapping without privilege. Limiting unprivileged gid mapping establishment (which is temporarily absent) to the creator of the user namespace also ensures that the combination of uid and gid can already be obtained without privilege.
