tracing: Use SOFTIRQ_OFFSET for softirq dectection for more accurate results

2017-07-31T17:37:55+00:00

[ Upstream commit c59f29cb144a6a0dfac16ede9dc8eafc02dc56ca ]

The 's' flag is supposed to indicate that a softirq is running. This
can be detected by testing the preempt_count with SOFTIRQ_OFFSET.

The current code tests the preempt_count with SOFTIRQ_MASK, which
would be true even when softirqs are disabled but not serving a
softirq.

sched/topology: Optimize build_group_mask()

2017-07-31T17:37:55+00:00

[ Upstream commit f32d782e31bf079f600dcec126ed117b0577e85c ]

The group mask is always used in intersection with the group CPUs. So,
when building the group mask, we don't have to care about CPUs that are
not part of the group.

sched/topology: Fix overlapping sched_group_mask

2017-07-31T17:37:55+00:00

[ Upstream commit 73bb059f9b8a00c5e1bf2f7ca83138c05d05e600 ]

The point of sched_group_mask is to select those CPUs from
sched_group_cpus that can actually arrive at this balance domain.

The current code gets it wrong, as can be readily demonstrated with a
topology like:

  node   0   1   2   3
    0:  10  20  30  20
    1:  20  10  20  30
    2:  30  20  10  20
    3:  20  30  20  10

Where (for example) domain 1 on CPU1 ends up with a mask that includes
CPU0:

  [] CPU1 attaching sched-domain:
  []  domain 0: span 0-2 level NUMA
  []   groups: 1 (mask: 1), 2, 0
  []   domain 1: span 0-3 level NUMA
  []    groups: 0-2 (mask: 0-2) (cpu_capacity: 3072), 0,2-3 (cpu_capacity: 3072)

This causes sched_balance_cpu() to compute the wrong CPU and
consequently should_we_balance() will terminate early resulting in
missed load-balance opportunities.

The fixed topology looks like:

  [] CPU1 attaching sched-domain:
  []  domain 0: span 0-2 level NUMA
  []   groups: 1 (mask: 1), 2, 0
  []   domain 1: span 0-3 level NUMA
  []    groups: 0-2 (mask: 1) (cpu_capacity: 3072), 0,2-3 (cpu_capacity: 3072)

(note: this relies on OVERLAP domains to always have children, this is
 true because the regular topology domains are still here -- this is
 before degenerate trimming)

kernel/extable.c: mark core_kernel_text notrace

2017-07-31T17:37:54+00:00

[ Upstream commit c0d80ddab89916273cb97114889d3f337bc370ae ]

core_kernel_text is used by MIPS in its function graph trace processing,
so having this method traced leads to an infinite set of recursive calls
such as:

  Call Trace:
     ftrace_return_to_handler+0x50/0x128
     core_kernel_text+0x10/0x1b8
     prepare_ftrace_return+0x6c/0x114
     ftrace_graph_caller+0x20/0x44
     return_to_handler+0x10/0x30
     return_to_handler+0x0/0x30
     return_to_handler+0x0/0x30
     ftrace_ops_no_ops+0x114/0x1bc
     core_kernel_text+0x10/0x1b8
     core_kernel_text+0x10/0x1b8

     ftrace_ops_no_ops+0x114/0x1bc

     prepare_ftrace_return+0x6c/0x114
     ftrace_graph_caller+0x20/0x44
     (...)

Mark the function notrace to avoid it being traced.

tracing/kprobes: Allow to create probe with a module name starting with a digit

2017-07-31T17:37:52+00:00

[ Upstream commit 9e52b32567126fe146f198971364f68d3bc5233f ]

Always try to parse an address, since kstrtoul() will safely fail when
given a symbol as input. If that fails (which will be the case for a
symbol), try to parse a symbol instead.

This allows creating a probe such as:

    p:probe/vlan_gro_receive 8021q:vlan_gro_receive+0

Which is necessary for this command to work:

    perf probe -m 8021q -a vlan_gro_receive

sysctl: enable strict writes

[ Upstream commit 41662f5cc55335807d39404371cfcbb1909304c4 ]

SYSCTL_WRITES_WARN was added in commit f4aacea2f5d1 ("sysctl: allow for
strict write position handling"), and released in v3.16 in August of
2014.  Since then I can find only 1 instance of non-zero offset
writing[1], and it was fixed immediately in CRIU[2].  As such, it
appears safe to flip this to the strict state now.

time: Fix clock->read(clock) race around clocksource changes

2017-07-31T17:37:47+00:00

[ Upstream commit ceea5e3771ed2378668455fa21861bead7504df5 ]

In tests, which excercise switching of clocksources, a NULL
pointer dereference can be observed on AMR64 platforms in the
clocksource read() function:

u64 clocksource_mmio_readl_down(struct clocksource *c)
{
	return ~(u64)readl_relaxed(to_mmio_clksrc(c)->reg) & c->mask;
}

This is called from the core timekeeping code via:

	cycle_now = tkr->read(tkr->clock);

tkr->read is the cached tkr->clock->read() function pointer.
When the clocksource is changed then tkr->clock and tkr->read
are updated sequentially. The code above results in a sequential
load operation of tkr->read and tkr->clock as well.

If the store to tkr->clock hits between the loads of tkr->read
and tkr->clock, then the old read() function is called with the
new clock pointer. As a consequence the read() function
dereferences a different data structure and the resulting 'reg'
pointer can point anywhere including NULL.

This problem was introduced when the timekeeping code was
switched over to use struct tk_read_base. Before that, it was
theoretically possible as well when the compiler decided to
reload clock in the code sequence:

     now = tk->clock->read(tk->clock);

Add a helper function which avoids the issue by reading
tk_read_base->clock once into a local variable clk and then issue
the read function via clk->read(clk). This guarantees that the
read() function always gets the proper clocksource pointer handed
in.

Since there is now no use for the tkr.read pointer, this patch
also removes it, and to address stopping the fast timekeeper
during suspend/resume, it introduces a dummy clocksource to use
rather then just a dummy read function.

stackprotector: Increase the per-task stack canary's random range from 32 bits to 64 bits on 64-bit platforms

alarmtimer: Rate limit periodic intervals

2017-06-26T02:02:22+00:00

[ Upstream commit ff86bf0c65f14346bf2440534f9ba5ac232c39a0 ]

The alarmtimer code has another source of potentially rearming itself too
fast. Interval timers with a very samll interval have a similar CPU hog
effect as the previously fixed overflow issue.

The reason is that alarmtimers do not implement the normal protection
against this kind of problem which the other posix timer use:

  timer expires -> queue signal -> deliver signal -> rearm timer

This scheme brings the rearming under scheduler control and prevents
permanently firing timers which hog the CPU.

Bringing this scheme to the alarm timer code is a major overhaul because it
lacks all the necessary mechanisms completely.

So for a quick fix limit the interval to one jiffie. This is not
problematic in practice as alarmtimers are usually backed by an RTC for
suspend which have 1 second resolution. It could be therefor argued that
the resolution of this clock should be set to 1 second in general, but
that's outside the scope of this fix.
