2018-02-21ida: do zeroing in ida_pre_get()Rasmus Villemoes
As far as I can tell, the only place the per-cpu ida_bitmap is populated is in ida_pre_get. The pre-allocated element is stolen in two places in ida_get_new_above, in both cases immediately followed by a memset(0). Since ida_get_new_above is called with locks held, do the zeroing in ida_pre_get, or rather let kmalloc() do it. Also, apparently gcc generates ~44 bytes of code to do a memset(, 0, 128): $ scripts/bloat-o-meter vmlinux.{0,1} add/remove: 0/0 grow/shrink: 2/1 up/down: 5/-88 (-83) Function old new delta ida_pre_get 115 119 +4 vermagic 27 28 +1 ida_get_new_above 715 627 -88 Link: http://lkml.kernel.org/r/20180108225634.15340-1-linux@rasmusvillemoes.dk Signed-off-by: Rasmus Villemoes <linux@rasmusvillemoes.dk> Acked-by: Matthew Wilcox <mawilcox@microsoft.com> Cc: Eric Biggers <ebiggers@google.com> Signed-off-by: Andrew Morton <akpm@linux-foundation.org> Signed-off-by: Linus Torvalds <torvalds@linux-foundation.org>

Daniel Borkmann says: ==================== pull-request: bpf 2018-02-09 The following pull-request contains BPF updates for your *net* tree. The main changes are: 1) Two fixes for BPF sockmap in order to break up circular map references from programs attached to sockmap, and detaching related sockets in case of socket close() event. For the latter we get rid of the smap_state_change() and plug into ULP infrastructure, which will later also be used for additional features anyway such as TX hooks. For the second issue, dependency chain is broken up via map release callback to free parse/verdict programs, all from John. 2) Fix a libbpf relocation issue that was found while implementing XDP support for Suricata project. Issue was that when clang was invoked with default target instead of bpf target, then various other e.g. debugging relevant sections are added to the ELF file that contained relocation entries pointing to non-BPF related sections which libbpf trips over instead of skipping them. Test cases for libbpf are added as well, from Jesper. 3) Various misc fixes for bpftool and one for libbpf: a small addition to libbpf to make sure it recognizes all standard section prefixes. Then, the Makefile in bpftool/Documentation is improved to explicitly check for rst2man being installed on the system as we otherwise risk installing empty man pages; the man page for bpftool-map is corrected and a set of missing bash completions added in order to avoid shipping bpftool where the completions are only partially working, from Quentin. 4) Fix applying the relocation to immediate load instructions in the nfp JIT which were missing a shift, from Jakub. 5) Two fixes for the BPF kernel selftests: handle CONFIG_BPF_JIT_ALWAYS_ON=y gracefully in test_bpf.ko module and mark them as FLAG_EXPECTED_FAIL in this case; and explicitly delete the veth devices in the two tests test_xdp_{meta,redirect}.sh before dismantling the netnses as when selftests are run in batch mode, then workqueue to handle destruction might not have finished yet and thus veth creation in next test under same dev name would fail, from Yonghong. 6) Fix test_kmod.sh to check the test_bpf.ko module path before performing an insmod, and fallback to modprobe. Especially the latter is useful when having a device under test that has the modules installed instead, from Naresh. ==================== Signed-off-by: David S. Miller <davem@davemloft.net>

2018-02-06kasan: rework Kconfig settingsArnd Bergmann
We get a lot of very large stack frames using gcc-7.0.1 with the default -fsanitize-address-use-after-scope --param asan-stack=1 options, which can easily cause an overflow of the kernel stack, e.g. drivers/gpu/drm/i915/gvt/handlers.c:2434:1: warning: the frame size of 46176 bytes is larger than 3072 bytes drivers/net/wireless/ralink/rt2x00/rt2800lib.c:5650:1: warning: the frame size of 23632 bytes is larger than 3072 bytes lib/atomic64_test.c:250:1: warning: the frame size of 11200 bytes is larger than 3072 bytes drivers/gpu/drm/i915/gvt/handlers.c:2621:1: warning: the frame size of 9208 bytes is larger than 3072 bytes drivers/media/dvb-frontends/stv090x.c:3431:1: warning: the frame size of 6816 bytes is larger than 3072 bytes fs/fscache/stats.c:287:1: warning: the frame size of 6536 bytes is larger than 3072 bytes To reduce this risk, -fsanitize-address-use-after-scope is now split out into a separate CONFIG_KASAN_EXTRA Kconfig option, leading to stack frames that are smaller than 2 kilobytes most of the time on x86_64. An earlier version of this patch also prevented combining KASAN_EXTRA with KASAN_INLINE, but that is no longer necessary with gcc-7.0.1. All patches to get the frame size below 2048 bytes with CONFIG_KASAN=y and CONFIG_KASAN_EXTRA=n have been merged by maintainers now, so we can bring back that default now. KASAN_EXTRA=y still causes lots of warnings but now defaults to !COMPILE_TEST to disable it in allmodconfig, and it remains disabled in all other defconfigs since it is a new option. I arbitrarily raise the warning limit for KASAN_EXTRA to 3072 to reduce the noise, but an allmodconfig kernel still has around 50 warnings on gcc-7. I experimented a bit more with smaller stack frames and have another follow-up series that reduces the warning limit for 64-bit architectures to 1280 bytes (without CONFIG_KASAN). With earlier versions of this patch series, I also had patches to address the warnings we get with KASAN and/or KASAN_EXTRA, using a "noinline_if_stackbloat" annotation. That annotation now got replaced with a gcc-8 bugfix (see https://gcc.gnu.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=81715) and a workaround for older compilers, which means that KASAN_EXTRA is now just as bad as before and will lead to an instant stack overflow in a few extreme cases. This reverts parts of commit 3f181b4d8652 ("lib/Kconfig.debug: disable -Wframe-larger-than warnings with KASAN=y"). Two patches in linux-next should be merged first to avoid introducing warnings in an allmodconfig build: 3cd890dbe2a4 ("media: dvb-frontends: fix i2c access helpers for KASAN") 16c3ada89cff ("media: r820t: fix r820t_write_reg for KASAN") Do we really need to backport this? I think we do: without this patch, enabling KASAN will lead to unavoidable kernel stack overflow in certain device drivers when built with gcc-7 or higher on linux-4.10+ or any version that contains a backport of commit c5caf21ab0cf8. Most people are probably still on older compilers, but it will get worse over time as they upgrade their distros. The warnings we get on kernels older than this should all be for code that uses dangerously large stack frames, though most of them do not cause an actual stack overflow by themselves.The asan-stack option was added in linux-4.0, and commit 3f181b4d8652 ("lib/Kconfig.debug: disable -Wframe-larger-than warnings with KASAN=y") effectively turned off the warning for allmodconfig kernels, so I would like to see this fix backported to any kernels later than 4.0. I have done dozens of fixes for individual functions with stack frames larger than 2048 bytes with asan-stack, and I plan to make sure that all those fixes make it into the stable kernels as well (most are already there). Part of the complication here is that asan-stack (from 4.0) was originally assumed to always require much larger stacks, but that turned out to be a combination of multiple gcc bugs that we have now worked around and fixed, but sanitize-address-use-after-scope (from v4.10) has a much higher inherent stack usage and also suffers from at least three other problems that we have analyzed but not yet fixed upstream, each of them makes the stack usage more severe than it should be.

2018-02-06lib/ubsan: remove returns-nonnull-attribute checksAndrey Ryabinin
Similarly to type mismatch checks, new GCC 8.x and Clang also changed for ABI for returns_nonnull checks. While we can update our code to conform the new ABI it's more reasonable to just remove it. Because it's just dead code, we don't have any single user of returns_nonnull attribute in the whole kernel. And AFAIU the advantage that this attribute could bring would be mitigated by -fno-delete-null-pointer-checks cflag that we use to build the kernel. So it's unlikely we will have a lot of returns_nonnull attribute in future. So let's just remove the code, it has no use.

UBSAN=y fails to build with new GCC/clang: arch/x86/kernel/head64.o: In function `sanitize_boot_params': arch/x86/include/asm/bootparam_utils.h:37: undefined reference to `__ubsan_handle_type_mismatch_v1' because Clang and GCC 8 slightly changed ABI for 'type mismatch' errors. Compiler now uses new __ubsan_handle_type_mismatch_v1() function with slightly modified 'struct type_mismatch_data'. Let's add new 'struct type_mismatch_data_common' which is independent from compiler's layout of 'struct type_mismatch_data'. And make __ubsan_handle_type_mismatch[_v1]() functions transform compiler-dependent type mismatch data to our internal representation. This way, we can support both old and new compilers with minimal amount of change.

2018-02-06lib/test_sort.c: add module unload supportPravin Shedge
test_sort.c performs array-based and linked list sort test. Code allows to compile either as a loadable modules or builtin into the kernel. Current code is not allow to unload the test_sort.ko module after successful completion. This patch adds support to unload the "test_sort.ko" module by adding module_exit support. Previous patch was implemented auto unload support by returning -EAGAIN from module_init() function on successful case, but this approach is not ideal. The auto-unload might seem like a nice optimization, but it encourages inconsistent behaviour. And behaviour that is different from all other normal modules.

2018-02-06lib: optimize cpumask_next_and()Clement Courbet
We've measured that we spend ~0.6% of sys cpu time in cpumask_next_and(). It's essentially a joined iteration in search for a non-zero bit, which is currently implemented as a lookup join (find a nonzero bit on the lhs, lookup the rhs to see if it's set there). Implement a direct join (find a nonzero bit on the incrementally built join). Also add generic bitmap benchmarks in the new `test_find_bit` module for new function (see `find_next_and_bit` in [2] and [3] below). For cpumask_next_and, direct benchmarking shows that it's 1.17x to 14x faster with a geometric mean of 2.1 on 32 CPUs [1]. No impact on memory usage.

2018-02-06bitmap: new bitmap_copy_safe and bitmap_{from,to}_arr32Yury Norov
This patchset replaces bitmap_{to,from}_u32array with more simple and standard looking copy-like functions. bitmap_from_u32array() takes 4 arguments (bitmap_to_u32array is similar): - unsigned long *bitmap, which is destination; - unsigned int nbits, the length of destination bitmap, in bits; - const u32 *buf, the source; and - unsigned int nwords, the length of source buffer in ints. In description to the function it is detailed like: * copy min(nbits, 32*nwords) bits from @buf to @bitmap, remaining * bits between nword and nbits in @bitmap (if any) are cleared. Having two size arguments looks unneeded and potentially dangerous. It is unneeded because normally user of copy-like function should take care of the size of destination and make it big enough to fit source data. And it is dangerous because function may hide possible error if user doesn't provide big enough bitmap, and data becomes silently dropped. That's why all copy-like functions have 1 argument for size of copying data, and I don't see any reason to make bitmap_from_u32array() different. One exception that comes in mind is strncpy() which also provides size of destination in arguments, but it's strongly argued by the possibility of taking broken strings in source. This is not the case of bitmap_{from,to}_u32array(). There is no many real users of bitmap_{from,to}_u32array(), and they all very clearly provide size of destination matched with the size of source, so additional functionality is not used in fact. Like this: bitmap_from_u32array(to->link_modes.supported, __ETHTOOL_LINK_MODE_MASK_NBITS, link_usettings.link_modes.supported, __ETHTOOL_LINK_MODE_MASK_NU32); Where: #define __ETHTOOL_LINK_MODE_MASK_NU32 \ DIV_ROUND_UP(__ETHTOOL_LINK_MODE_MASK_NBITS, 32) In this patch, bitmap_copy_safe and bitmap_{from,to}_arr32 are introduced. 'Safe' in bitmap_copy_safe() stands for clearing unused bits in bitmap beyond last bit till the end of last word. It is useful for hardening API when bitmap is assumed to be exposed to userspace. bitmap_{from,to}_arr32 functions are replacements for bitmap_{from,to}_u32array. They don't take unneeded nwords argument, and so simpler in implementation and understanding. This patch suggests optimization for 32-bit systems - aliasing bitmap_{from,to}_arr32 to bitmap_copy_safe. Other possible optimization is aliasing 64-bit LE bitmap_{from,to}_arr32 to more generic function(s). But I didn't end up with the function that would be helpful by itself, and can be used to alias 64-bit LE bitmap_{from,to}_arr32, like bitmap_copy_safe() does. So I preferred to leave things as is. The following patch switches kernel to new API and introduces test for it.

2018-02-06kasan: detect invalid frees for large objectsDmitry Vyukov
Patch series "kasan: detect invalid frees". KASAN detects double-frees, but does not detect invalid-frees (when a pointer into a middle of heap object is passed to free). We recently had a very unpleasant case in crypto code which freed an inner object inside of a heap allocation. This left unnoticed during free, but totally corrupted heap and later lead to a bunch of random crashes all over kernel code. Detect invalid frees. This patch (of 5): Detect frees of pointers into middle of large heap objects. I dropped const from kasan_kfree_large() because it starts propagating through a bunch of functions in kasan_report.c, slab/slub nearest_obj(), all of their local variables, fixup_red_left(), etc. Link: http://lkml.kernel.org/r/1b45b4fe1d20fc0de1329aab674c1dd973fee723.1514378558.git.dvyukov@google.com Signed-off-by: Dmitry Vyukov <dvyukov@google.com> Cc: Andrey Ryabinin <aryabinin@virtuozzo.com>a Signed-off-by: Andrew Morton <akpm@linux-foundation.org> Signed-off-by: Linus Torvalds <torvalds@linux-foundation.org>

2018-02-06idr: Make 1-based IDRs more efficientMatthew Wilcox
About 20% of the IDR users in the kernel want the allocated IDs to start at 1. The implementation currently searches all the way down the left hand side of the tree, finds no free ID other than ID 0, walks all the way back up, and then all the way down again. This patch 'rebases' the ID so we fill the entire radix tree, rather than leave a gap at 0. Chris Wilson says: "I did the quick hack of allocating index 0 of the idr and that eradicated idr_get_free() from being at the top of the profiles for the many-object stress tests. This improvement will be much appreciated." Signed-off-by: Matthew Wilcox <mawilcox@microsoft.com>
2018-02-06idr: Warn if old iterators see large IDsMatthew Wilcox
Now that the IDR can be used to store large IDs, it is possible somebody might only partially convert their old code and use the iterators which can only handle IDs up to INT_MAX. It's probably unwise to show them a truncated ID, so settle for spewing warnings to dmesg, and terminating the iteration. Signed-off-by: Matthew Wilcox <mawilcox@microsoft.com>
2018-02-06idr: Rename idr_for_each_entry_extMatthew Wilcox

2018-02-06idr: Remove idr_alloc_extMatthew Wilcox
It has no more users, so remove it. Move idr_alloc() back into idr.c, move the guts of idr_alloc_cmn() into idr_alloc_u32(), remove the wrappers around idr_get_free_cmn() and rename it to idr_get_free(). While there is now no interface to allocate IDs larger than a u32, the IDR internals remain ready to handle a larger ID should a need arise. These changes make it possible to provide the guarantee that, if the nextid pointer points into the object, the object's ID will be initialised before a concurrent lookup can find the object. Signed-off-by: Matthew Wilcox <mawilcox@microsoft.com>
2018-02-06idr: Add idr_alloc_u32 helperMatthew Wilcox
All current users of idr_alloc_ext() actually want to allocate a u32 and idr_alloc_u32() fits their needs better. Like idr_get_next(), it uses a 'nextid' argument which serves as both a pointer to the start ID and the assigned ID (instead of a separate minimum and pointer-to-assigned-ID argument). It uses a 'max' argument rather than 'end' because the semantics that idr_alloc has for 'end' don't work well for unsigned types. Since idr_alloc_u32() returns an errno instead of the allocated ID, mark it as __must_check to help callers use it correctly. Include copious kernel-doc. Chris Mi <chrism@mellanox.com> has promised to contribute test-cases for idr_alloc_u32. Signed-off-by: Matthew Wilcox <mawilcox@microsoft.com>

git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/pmladek/printk Pull printk updates from Petr Mladek: - Add a console_msg_format command line option: The value "default" keeps the old "[time stamp] text\n" format. The value "syslog" allows to see the syslog-like "<log level>[timestamp] text" format. This feature was requested by people doing regression tests, for example, 0day robot. They want to have both filtered and full logs at hands. - Reduce the risk of softlockup: Pass the console owner in a busy loop. This is a new approach to the old problem. It was first proposed by Steven Rostedt on Kernel Summit 2017. It marks a context in which the console_lock owner calls console drivers and could not sleep. On the other side, printk() callers could detect this state and use a busy wait instead of a simple console_trylock(). Finally, the console_lock owner checks if there is a busy waiter at the end of the special context and eventually passes the console_lock to the waiter. The hand-off works surprisingly well and helps in many situations. Well, there is still a possibility of the softlockup, for example, when the flood of messages stops and the last owner still has too much to flush. There is increasing number of people having problems with printk-related softlockups. We might eventually need to get better solution. Anyway, this looks like a good start and promising direction. - Do not allow to schedule in console_unlock() called from printk(): This reverts an older controversial commit. The reschedule helped to avoid softlockups. But it also slowed down the console output. This patch is obsoleted by the new console waiter logic described above. In fact, the reschedule made the hand-off less effective. - Deprecate "%pf" and "%pF" format specifier: It was needed on ia64, ppc64 and parisc64 to dereference function descriptors and show the real function address. It is done transparently by "%ps" and "pS" format specifier now. Sergey Senozhatsky found that all the function descriptors were in a special elf section and could be easily detected. - Remove printk_symbol() API: It has been obsoleted by "%pS" format specifier, and this change helped to remove few continuous lines and a less intuitive old API. - Remove redundant memsets: Sergey removed unnecessary memset when processing printk.devkmsg command line option. * 'for-linus' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/pmladek/printk: (27 commits) printk: drop redundant devkmsg_log_str memsets printk: Never set console_may_schedule in console_trylock() printk: Hide console waiter logic into helpers printk: Add console owner and waiter logic to load balance console writes kallsyms: remove print_symbol() function checkpatch: add pF/pf deprecation warning symbol lookup: introduce dereference_symbol_descriptor() parisc64: Add .opd based function descriptor dereference powerpc64: Add .opd based function descriptor dereference ia64: Add .opd based function descriptor dereference sections: split dereference_function_descriptor() openrisc: Fix conflicting types for _exext and _stext lib: do not use print_symbol() irq debug: do not use print_symbol() sysfs: do not use print_symbol() drivers: do not use print_symbol() x86: do not use print_symbol() unicore32: do not use print_symbol() sh: do not use print_symbol() mn10300: do not use print_symbol() ...

Mostly small clean ups and fixes. The biggest change is to how bprintf works. bprintf is used by trace_printk() to just save the format and args of a printf call, and the formatting is done when the trace buffer is read. This is done to keep the formatting out of the fast path (this was recommended by you). The issue is when arguments are de-referenced. If a pointer is saved, and the format has something like "%*pbl", when the buffer is read, it will de-reference the argument then. The problem is if the data no longer exists. This can cause the kernel to oops. The fix for this was to make these de-reference pointes do the formatting at the time it is called (the fast path), as this guarantees that the data exists (and doesn't change later)" * tag 'trace-v4.16' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/rostedt/linux-trace: vsprintf: Do not have bprintf dereference pointers ftrace: Mark function tracer test functions noinline/noclone trace_uprobe: Display correct offset in uprobe_events tracing: Make sure the parsed string always terminates with '\0' tracing: Clear parser->idx if only spaces are read tracing: Detect the string nul character when parsing user input string
2018-02-01Merge branch 'KASAN-read_word_at_a_time'Linus Torvalds
Merge KASAN word-at-a-time fixups from Andrey Ryabinin. The word-at-a-time optimizations have caused headaches for KASAN, since the whole point is that we access byte streams in bigger chunks, and KASAN can be unhappy about the potential extra access at the end of the string. We used to have a horrible hack in dcache, and then people got complaints from the strscpy() case. This fixes it all up properly, by adding an explicit helper for the "access byte stream one word at a time" case. * emailed patches from Andrey Ryabinin <aryabinin@virtuozzo.com>: fs: dcache: Revert "manually unpoison dname after allocation to shut up kasan's reports" fs/dcache: Use read_word_at_a_time() in dentry_string_cmp() lib/strscpy: Shut up KASAN false-positives in strscpy() compiler.h: Add read_word_at_a_time() function. compiler.h, kasan: Avoid duplicating __read_once_size_nocheck()
2018-02-01lib/strscpy: Shut up KASAN false-positives in strscpy()Andrey Ryabinin
strscpy() performs the word-at-a-time optimistic reads. So it may may access the memory past the end of the object, which is perfectly fine since strscpy() doesn't use that (past-the-end) data and makes sure the optimistic read won't cross a page boundary. Use new read_word_at_a_time() to shut up the KASAN. Note that this potentially could hide some bugs. In example bellow, stscpy() will copy more than we should (1-3 extra uninitialized bytes): char dst[8]; char *src; src = kmalloc(5, GFP_KERNEL); memset(src, 0xff, 5); strscpy(dst, src, 8); Signed-off-by: Andrey Ryabinin <aryabinin@virtuozzo.com> Signed-off-by: Linus Torvalds <torvalds@linux-foundation.org>
