2016-09-22sched/core: Optimize __schedule()Peter Zijlstra
Oleg noted that by making do_exit() use __schedule() for the TASK_DEAD context switch, we can avoid the TASK_DEAD special case currently in __schedule() because that avoids the extra preempt_disable() from schedule(). In order to facilitate this, create a do_task_dead() helper which we place in the scheduler code, such that it can access __schedule(). Also add some __noreturn annotations to the functions, there's no coming back from do_exit().

2016-06-03sched/api: Introduce task_rcu_dereference() and try_get_task_struct()Oleg Nesterov
Generally task_struct is only protected by RCU if it was found on a RCU protected list (say, for_each_process() or find_task_by_vpid()). As Kirill pointed out rq->curr isn't protected by RCU, the scheduler drops the (potentially) last reference without RCU gp, this means that we need to fix the code which uses foreign_rq->curr under rcu_read_lock(). Add a new helper which can be used to dereference rq->curr or any other pointer to task_struct assuming that it should be cleared or updated before the final put_task_struct(). It returns non-NULL only if this task can't go away before rcu_read_unlock(). ( Also add try_get_task_struct() to make it easier to use this API correctly. ) Suggested-by: Kirill Tkhai <ktkhai@parallels.com> Signed-off-by: Oleg Nesterov <oleg@redhat.com> [ Updated comments; added try_get_task_struct()] Signed-off-by: Peter Zijlstra (Intel) <peterz@infradead.org> Cc: Chris Metcalf <cmetcalf@ezchip.com> Cc: Christoph Lameter <cl@linux.com> Cc: Kirill Tkhai <tkhai@yandex.ru> Cc: Linus Torvalds <torvalds@linux-foundation.org> Cc: Mike Galbraith <efault@gmx.de> Cc: Peter Zijlstra <peterz@infradead.org> Cc: Thomas Gleixner <tglx@linutronix.de> Cc: Vladimir Davydov <vdavydov@parallels.com> Link: http://lkml.kernel.org/r/20160518170218.GY3192@twins.programming.kicks-ass.net Signed-off-by: Ingo Molnar <mingo@kernel.org>
2016-05-23wait: allow sys_waitid() to accept __WNOTHREAD/__WCLONE/__WALLOleg Nesterov
I see no reason why waitid() can't support other linux-specific flags allowed in sys_wait4(). In particular this change can help if we reconsider the previous change ("wait/ptrace: assume __WALL if the child is traced") which adds the "automagical" __WALL for debugger.

2016-05-23wait/ptrace: assume __WALL if the child is tracedOleg Nesterov
The following program (simplified version of generated by syzkaller) #include <pthread.h> #include <unistd.h> #include <sys/ptrace.h> #include <stdio.h> #include <signal.h> void *thread_func(void *arg) { ptrace(PTRACE_TRACEME, 0,0,0); return 0; } int main(void) { pthread_t thread; if (fork()) return 0; while (getppid() != 1) ; pthread_create(&thread, NULL, thread_func, NULL); pthread_join(thread, NULL); return 0; } creates an unreapable zombie if /sbin/init doesn't use __WALL. This is not a kernel bug, at least in a sense that everything works as expected: debugger should reap a traced sub-thread before it can reap the leader, but without __WALL/__WCLONE do_wait() ignores sub-threads. Unfortunately, it seems that /sbin/init in most (all?) distributions doesn't use it and we have to change the kernel to avoid the problem. Note also that most init's use sys_waitid() which doesn't allow __WALL, so the necessary user-space fix is not that trivial. This patch just adds the "ptrace" check into eligible_child(). To some degree this matches the "tsk->ptrace" in exit_notify(), ->exit_signal is mostly ignored when the tracee reports to debugger. Or WSTOPPED, the tracer doesn't need to set this flag to wait for the stopped tracee. This obviously means the user-visible change: __WCLONE and __WALL no longer have any meaning for debugger. And I can only hope that this won't break something, but at least strace/gdb won't suffer. We could make a more conservative change. Say, we can take __WCLONE into account, or !thread_group_leader(). But it would be nice to not complicate these historical/confusing checks.

2016-03-25oom: clear TIF_MEMDIE after oom_reaper managed to unmap the address spaceMichal Hocko
When oom_reaper manages to unmap all the eligible vmas there shouldn't be much of the freable memory held by the oom victim left anymore so it makes sense to clear the TIF_MEMDIE flag for the victim and allow the OOM killer to select another task. The lack of TIF_MEMDIE also means that the victim cannot access memory reserves anymore but that shouldn't be a problem because it would get the access again if it needs to allocate and hits the OOM killer again due to the fatal_signal_pending resp. PF_EXITING check. We can safely hide the task from the OOM killer because it is clearly not a good candidate anymore as everyhing reclaimable has been torn down already. This patch will allow to cap the time an OOM victim can keep TIF_MEMDIE and thus hold off further global OOM killer actions granted the oom reaper is able to take mmap_sem for the associated mm struct. This is not guaranteed now but further steps should make sure that mmap_sem for write should be blocked killable which will help to reduce such a lock contention. This is not done by this patch. Note that exit_oom_victim might be called on a remote task from __oom_reap_task now so we have to check and clear the flag atomically otherwise we might race and underflow oom_victims or wake up waiters too early.

2016-03-22kernel: add kcov code coverageDmitry Vyukov
kcov provides code coverage collection for coverage-guided fuzzing (randomized testing). Coverage-guided fuzzing is a testing technique that uses coverage feedback to determine new interesting inputs to a system. A notable user-space example is AFL (http://lcamtuf.coredump.cx/afl/). However, this technique is not widely used for kernel testing due to missing compiler and kernel support. kcov does not aim to collect as much coverage as possible. It aims to collect more or less stable coverage that is function of syscall inputs. To achieve this goal it does not collect coverage in soft/hard interrupts and instrumentation of some inherently non-deterministic or non-interesting parts of kernel is disbled (e.g. scheduler, locking). Currently there is a single coverage collection mode (tracing), but the API anticipates additional collection modes. Initially I also implemented a second mode which exposes coverage in a fixed-size hash table of counters (what Quentin used in his original patch). I've dropped the second mode for simplicity. This patch adds the necessary support on kernel side. The complimentary compiler support was added in gcc revision 231296. We've used this support to build syzkaller system call fuzzer, which has found 90 kernel bugs in just 2 months: https://github.com/google/syzkaller/wiki/Found-Bugs We've also found 30+ bugs in our internal systems with syzkaller. Another (yet unexplored) direction where kcov coverage would greatly help is more traditional "blob mutation". For example, mounting a random blob as a filesystem, or receiving a random blob over wire. Why not gcov. Typical fuzzing loop looks as follows: (1) reset coverage, (2) execute a bit of code, (3) collect coverage, repeat. A typical coverage can be just a dozen of basic blocks (e.g. an invalid input). In such context gcov becomes prohibitively expensive as reset/collect coverage steps depend on total number of basic blocks/edges in program (in case of kernel it is about 2M). Cost of kcov depends only on number of executed basic blocks/edges. On top of that, kernel requires per-thread coverage because there are always background threads and unrelated processes that also produce coverage. With inlined gcov instrumentation per-thread coverage is not possible. kcov exposes kernel PCs and control flow to user-space which is insecure. But debugfs should not be mapped as user accessible. Based on a patch by Quentin Casasnovas.

Currently, __srcu_read_lock() cannot be invoked from restricted environments because it contains calls to preempt_disable() and preempt_enable(), both of which can invoke lockdep, which is a bad idea in some restricted execution modes. This commit therefore moves the preempt_disable() and preempt_enable() from __srcu_read_lock() to srcu_read_lock(). It also inserts the preempt_disable() and preempt_enable() around the call to __srcu_read_lock() in do_exit(). Signed-off-by: Paul E.

When we warn about a preempt_count leak; reset the preempt_count to the known good value such that the problem does not ripple forward. This is most important on x86 which has a per cpu preempt_count that is not saved/restored (after this series). So if you schedule with an invalid (!2*PREEMPT_DISABLE_OFFSET) preempt_count the next task is messed up too. Enforcing this invariant limits the borkage to just the one task.

2015-02-11oom, PM: make OOM detection in the freezer path racelessMichal Hocko
Commit 5695be142e20 ("OOM, PM: OOM killed task shouldn't escape PM suspend") has left a race window when OOM killer manages to note_oom_kill after freeze_processes checks the counter. The race window is quite small and really unlikely and partial solution deemed sufficient at the time of submission. Tejun wasn't happy about this partial solution though and insisted on a full solution. That requires the full OOM and freezer's task freezing exclusion, though. This is done by this patch which introduces oom_sem RW lock and turns oom_killer_disable() into a full OOM barrier. oom_killer_disabled check is moved from the allocation path to the OOM level and we take oom_sem for reading for both the check and the whole OOM invocation. oom_killer_disable() takes oom_sem for writing so it waits for all currently running OOM killer invocations. Then it disable all the further OOMs by setting oom_killer_disabled and checks for any oom victims. Victims are counted via mark_tsk_oom_victim resp. unmark_oom_victim. The last victim wakes up all waiters enqueued by oom_killer_disable(). Therefore this function acts as the full OOM barrier. The page fault path is covered now as well although it was assumed to be safe before. As per Tejun, "We used to have freezing points deep in file system code which may be reacheable from page fault." so it would be better and more robust to not rely on freezing points here. Same applies to the memcg OOM killer. out_of_memory tells the caller whether the OOM was allowed to trigger and the callers are supposed to handle the situation. The page allocation path simply fails the allocation same as before. The page fault path will retry the fault (more on that later) and Sysrq OOM trigger will simply complain to the log. Normally there wouldn't be any unfrozen user tasks after try_to_freeze_tasks so the function will not block. But if there was an OOM killer racing with try_to_freeze_tasks and the OOM victim didn't finish yet then we have to wait for it. This should complete in a finite time, though, because - the victim cannot loop in the page fault handler (it would die on the way out from the exception) - it cannot loop in the page allocator because all the further allocation would fail and __GFP_NOFAIL allocations are not acceptable at this stage - it shouldn't be blocked on any locks held by frozen tasks (try_to_freeze expects lockless context) and kernel threads and work queues are not frozen yet Signed-off-by: Michal Hocko <mhocko@suse.cz> Suggested-by: Tejun Heo <tj@kernel.org> Cc: David Rientjes <rientjes@google.com> Cc: Johannes Weiner <hannes@cmpxchg.org> Cc: Oleg Nesterov <oleg@redhat.com> Cc: Cong Wang <xiyou.wangcong@gmail.com> Cc: "Rafael J.

2015-02-11oom: add helpers for setting and clearing TIF_MEMDIEMichal Hocko
This patchset addresses a race which was described in the changelog for 5695be142e20 ("OOM, PM: OOM killed task shouldn't escape PM suspend"): : PM freezer relies on having all tasks frozen by the time devices are : getting frozen so that no task will touch them while they are getting : frozen. But OOM killer is allowed to kill an already frozen task in order : to handle OOM situtation. In order to protect from late wake ups OOM : killer is disabled after all tasks are frozen. This, however, still keeps : a window open when a killed task didn't manage to die by the time : freeze_processes finishes. The original patch hasn't closed the race window completely because that would require a more complex solution as it can be seen by this patchset. The primary motivation was to close the race condition between OOM killer and PM freezer _completely_. As Tejun pointed out, even though the race condition is unlikely the harder it would be to debug weird bugs deep in the PM freezer when the debugging options are reduced considerably. I can only speculate what might happen when a task is still runnable unexpectedly. On a plus side and as a side effect the oom enable/disable has a better (full barrier) semantic without polluting hot paths. I have tested the series in KVM with 100M RAM: - many small tasks (20M anon mmap) which are triggering OOM continually - s2ram which resumes automatically is triggered in a loop echo processors > /sys/power/pm_test while true do echo mem > /sys/power/state sleep 1s done - simple module which allocates and frees 20M in 8K chunks. If it sees freezing(current) then it tries another round of allocation before calling try_to_freeze - debugging messages of PM stages and OOM killer enable/disable/fail added and unmark_oom_victim is delayed by 1s after it clears TIF_MEMDIE and before it wakes up waiters. - rebased on top of the current mmotm which means some necessary updates in mm/oom_kill.c. mark_tsk_oom_victim is now called under task_lock but I think this should be OK because __thaw_task shouldn't interfere with any locking down wake_up_process. Oleg? As expected there are no OOM killed tasks after oom is disabled and allocations requested by the kernel thread are failing after all the tasks are frozen and OOM disabled. I wasn't able to catch a race where oom_killer_disable would really have to wait but I kinda expected the race is really unlikely.

I think the OOM part should be OK (except for __thaw_task vs. task_lock where a look from Oleg would appreciated) but I am not so sure I haven't screwed anything in the freezer code. I have found several surprises there. This patch (of 5): This patch is just a preparatory and it doesn't introduce any functional change. Note: I am utterly unhappy about lowmemory killer abusing TIF_MEMDIE just to wait for the oom victim and to prevent from new killing. This is just a side effect of the flag. The primary meaning is to give the oom victim access to the memory reserves and that shouldn't be necessary here.

2015-01-08exit: fix race between wait_consider_task() and wait_task_zombie()Oleg Nesterov
wait_consider_task() checks EXIT_ZOMBIE after EXIT_DEAD/EXIT_TRACE and both checks can fail if we race with EXIT_ZOMBIE -> EXIT_DEAD/EXIT_TRACE change in between, gcc needs to reload p->exit_state after security_task_wait(). In this case ->notask_error will be wrongly cleared and do_wait() can hang forever if it was the last eligible child. Many thanks to Arne who carefully investigated the problem. Note: this bug is very old but it was pure theoretical until commit b3ab03160dfa ("wait: completely ignore the EXIT_DEAD tasks").

2014-12-10exit: reparent: avoid find_new_reaper() if no childrenOleg Nesterov
Now that pid_ns logic was isolated we can change forget_original_parent() to return right after find_child_reaper() when father->children is empty, there is nothing to reparent in this case. In particular this avoids find_alive_thread() and this can help if the whole process exits and it has a lot of PF_EXITING threads at the start of the thread list, this can easily lead to O(nr_threads ** 2) iterations. Trivial test case (tested under KVM, 2 CPUs): static void *tfunc(void *arg) { pause(); return NULL; } static int child(unsigned int nt) { pthread_t pt; while (nt--) assert(pthread_create(&pt, NULL, tfunc, NULL) == 0); pthread_kill(pt, SIGTRAP); pause(); return 0; } int main(int argc, const char *argv[]) { int stat; unsigned int nf = atoi(argv[1]); unsigned int nt = atoi(argv[2]); while (nf--) { if (!fork()) return child(nt); wait(&stat); assert(stat == SIGTRAP); } return 0; } $ time ./test 16 16536 shows: real user sys - 5m37.628s 0m4.437s 8m5.560s + 0m50.032s 0m7.130s 1m4.927s Signed-off-by: Oleg Nesterov <oleg@redhat.com> Cc: Aaron Tomlin <atomlin@redhat.com> Cc: "Eric W.

Note: this means the minor behavioural change: for_each_thread() starts from the group leader. But this should be fine, nobody should make any assumption about do_wait(__WNOTHREAD) when it comes to reparented tasks.

2014-12-10exit: reparent: fix the cross-namespace PR_SET_CHILD_SUBREAPER reparentingOleg Nesterov
find_new_reaper() assumes that "has_child_subreaper" logic is safe as long as we are not the exiting ->child_reaper and this is doubly wrong: 1. In fact it is safe if "pid_ns->child_reaper == father"; there must be no children after zap_pid_ns_processes() returns, so it doesn't matter what we return in this case and even pid_ns->child_reaper is wrong otherwise: we can't reparent to ->child_reaper == current. This is not a bug, but this is confusing. 2. It is not safe if we are not pid_ns->child_reaper but from the same thread group. We drop tasklist_lock before zap_pid_ns_processes(), so another thread can lock it and choose the new reaper from the upper namespace if has_child_subreaper == T, and this is obviously wrong. This is not that bad, zap_pid_ns_processes() won't return until the the new reaper reaps all zombies, but this should be fixed anyway. We could change for_each_thread() loop to use ->exit_state instead of PF_EXITING which we had to use until 8aac62706ada, or we could change copy_signal() to check CLONE_NEWPID before setting has_child_subreaper, but lets change this code so that it is clear we can't look outside of our namespace, otherwise same_thread_group(reaper, child_reaper) check will look wrong and confusing anyway. We can simply start from "father" and fix the problem. We can't wrongly return a thread from the same thread group if ->is_child_subreaper == T, we know that all threads have PF_EXITING set.

2014-12-10exit: reparent: use ->ptrace_entry rather than ->sibling for EXIT_DEAD tasksOleg Nesterov
reparent_leader() reuses ->sibling as a list node to add an EXIT_DEAD task into dead_children list we are going to release. This obviously removes the dead task from its real_parent->children list and this is even good; the parent can do nothing with the EXIT_DEAD reparented zombie, it only makes do_wait() slower. But, this also means that it can not be reparented once again, so if its new parent dies too nobody will update ->parent/real_parent, they can point to the freed memory even before release_task() we are going to call, this breaks the code which relies on pid_alive() to access ->real_parent/parent. Fortunately this is mostly theoretical, this can only happen if init or PR_SET_CHILD_SUBREAPER process ignores SIGCHLD and the new parent sub-thread exits right after we drop tasklist_lock. Change this code to use ->ptrace_entry instead, we know that the child is not traced so nobody can ever use this member. This also allows to unify this logic with exit_ptrace(), see the next changes. Note: we really need to change release_task() to nullify real_parent/ parent/group_leader pointers, but we need to change the current users first somehow. And it would be better to reap this zombie immediately but release_task_locked() we need is complicated by proc_flush_task().

2014-09-08time, signal: Protect resource use statistics with seqlockRik van Riel
Both times() and clock_gettime(CLOCK_PROCESS_CPUTIME_ID) have scalability issues on large systems, due to both functions being serialized with a lock. The lock protects against reporting a wrong value, due to a thread in the task group exiting, its statistics reporting up to the signal struct, and that exited task's statistics being counted twice (or not at all). Protecting that with a lock results in times() and clock_gettime() being completely serialized on large systems. This can be fixed by using a seqlock around the events that gather and propagate statistics. As an additional benefit, the protection code can be moved into thread_group_cputime(), slightly simplifying the calling functions. In the case of posix_cpu_clock_get_task() things can be simplified a lot, because the calling function already ensures that the task sticks around, and the rest is now taken care of in thread_group_cputime(). This way the statistics reporting code can run lockless.

2014-09-08exit: Always reap resource stats in __exit_signal()Rik van Riel
Oleg pointed out that wait_task_zombie adds a task's usage statistics to the parent's signal struct, but the task's own signal struct should also propagate the statistics at exit time. This allows thread_group_cputime(reaped_zombie) to get the statistics after __unhash_process() has made the task invisible to for_each_thread, but before the thread has actually been rcu freed, making sure no non-monotonic results are returned inside that window.

2014-09-07rcu: Make TASKS_RCU handle tasks that are almost done exitingPaul E. McKenney
Once a task has passed exit_notify() in the do_exit() code path, it is no longer on the task lists, and is therefore no longer visible to rcu_tasks_kthread(). This means that an almost-exited task might be preempted while within a trampoline, and this task won't be waited on by rcu_tasks_kthread(). This commit fixes this bug by adding an srcu_struct. An exiting task does srcu_read_lock() just before calling exit_notify(), and does the corresponding srcu_read_unlock() after doing the final preempt_disable(). This means that rcu_tasks_kthread() can do synchronize_srcu() to wait for all mostly-exited tasks to reach their final preempt_disable() region, and then use synchronize_sched() to wait for those tasks to finish exiting.

2014-08-06mm, oom: remove unnecessary exit_state checkDavid Rientjes
The oom killer scans each process and determines whether it is eligible for oom kill or whether the oom killer should abort because of concurrent memory freeing. It will abort when an eligible process is found to have TIF_MEMDIE set, meaning it has already been oom killed and we're waiting for it to exit. Processes with task->mm == NULL should not be considered because they are either kthreads or have already detached their memory and killing them would not lead to memory freeing. That memory is only freed after exit_mm() has returned, however, and not when task->mm is first set to NULL. Clear TIF_MEMDIE after exit_mm()'s mmput() so that an oom killed process is no longer considered for oom kill, but only until exit_mm() has returned. This was fragile in the past because it relied on exit_notify() to be reached before no longer considering TIF_MEMDIE processes.
