ftrace: Check for empty hash and comment the race with registering probes

2019-09-06T08:22:13+00:00

commit 372e0d01da71c84dcecf7028598a33813b0d5256 upstream.

The race between adding a function probe and reading the probes that exist
is very subtle. It needs a comment. Also, the issue can also happen if the
probe has has the EMPTY_HASH as its func_hash.

ftrace: Check for successful allocation of hash

2019-09-06T08:22:13+00:00

commit 5b0022dd32b7c2e15edf1827ba80aa1407edf9ff upstream.

In register_ftrace_function_probe(), we are not checking the return
value of alloc_and_copy_ftrace_hash(). The subsequent call to
ftrace_match_records() may end up dereferencing the same. Add a check to
ensure this doesn't happen.

ftrace: Fix NULL pointer dereference in t_probe_next()

2019-09-06T08:22:12+00:00

commit 7bd46644ea0f6021dc396a39a8bfd3a58f6f1f9f upstream.

LTP testsuite on powerpc results in the below crash:

The test (ftrace_set_ftrace_filter.sh) is part of ftrace stress tests
and the crash happens when the test does 'cat
$TRACING_PATH/set_ftrace_filter'.

The address points to the second line below, in t_probe_next(), where
filter_hash is dereferenced:
  hash = iter->probe->ops.func_hash->filter_hash;
  size = 1 << hash->size_bits;

This happens due to a race with register_ftrace_function_probe(). A new
ftrace_func_probe is created and added into the func_probes list in
trace_array under ftrace_lock. However, before initializing the filter,
we drop ftrace_lock, and re-acquire it after acquiring regex_lock. If
another process is trying to read set_ftrace_filter, it will be able to
acquire ftrace_lock during this window and it will end up seeing a NULL
filter_hash.

Fix this by just checking for a NULL filter_hash in t_probe_next(). If
the filter_hash is NULL, then this probe is just being added and we can
simply return from here.

genirq: Properly pair kobject_del() with kobject_add()

2019-08-29T06:28:57+00:00

commit d0ff14fdc987303aeeb7de6f1bd72c3749ae2a9b upstream.

If alloc_descs() fails before irq_sysfs_init() has run, free_desc() in the
cleanup path will call kobject_del() even though the kobject has not been
added with kobject_add().

Fix this by making the call to kobject_del() conditional on whether
irq_sysfs_init() has run.

This problem surfaced because commit aa30f47cf666 ("kobject: Add support
for default attribute groups to kobj_type") makes kobject_del() stricter
about pairing with kobject_add(). If the pairing is incorrrect, a WARNING
and backtrace occur in sysfs_remove_group() because there is no parent.

[ tglx: Add a comment to the code and make it work with CONFIG_SYSFS=n ]

cpufreq: schedutil: Don't skip freq update when limits change

2019-08-25T08:47:46+00:00

commit 600f5badb78c316146d062cfd7af4a2cfb655baa upstream.

To avoid reducing the frequency of a CPU prematurely, we skip reducing
the frequency if the CPU had been busy recently.

This should not be done when the limits of the policy are changed, for
example due to thermal throttling. We should always get the frequency
within the new limits as soon as possible.

Trying to fix this by using only one flag, i.e. need_freq_update, can
lead to a race condition where the flag gets cleared without forcing us
to change the frequency at least once. And so this patch introduces
another flag to avoid that race condition.

perf/core: Fix creating kernel counters for PMUs that override event->cpu

2019-08-16T08:12:50+00:00

[ Upstream commit 4ce54af8b33d3e21ca935fc1b89b58cbba956051 ]

Some hardware PMU drivers will override perf_event.cpu inside their
event_init callback. This causes a lockdep splat when initialized through
the kernel API:

 WARNING: CPU: 0 PID: 250 at kernel/events/core.c:2917 ctx_sched_out+0x78/0x208
 pc : ctx_sched_out+0x78/0x208

Fix this by calling perf_install_in_context with event->cpu, just like
perf_event_open

cgroup: Fix css_task_iter_advance_css_set() cset skip condition

While adding handling for dying task group leaders c03cd7738a83
("cgroup: Include dying leaders with live threads in PROCS
iterations") added an inverted cset skip condition to
css_task_iter_advance_css_set().  It should skip cset if it's
completely empty but was incorrectly testing for the inverse condition
for the dying_tasks list.  Fix it.

cgroup: css_task_iter_skip()'d iterators must be advanced before accessed

2019-08-09T15:52:34+00:00

commit cee0c33c546a93957a52ae9ab6bebadbee765ec5 upstream.

b636fd38dc40 ("cgroup: Implement css_task_iter_skip()") introduced
css_task_iter_skip() which is used to fix task iterations skipping
dying threadgroup leaders with live threads.  Skipping is implemented
as a subportion of full advancing but css_task_iter_next() forgot to
fully advance a skipped iterator before determining the next task to
visit causing it to return invalid task pointers.

Fix it by making css_task_iter_next() fully advance the iterator if it
has been skipped since the previous iteration.

cgroup: Include dying leaders with live threads in PROCS iterations

2019-08-09T15:52:34+00:00

commit c03cd7738a83b13739f00546166969342c8ff014 upstream.

CSS_TASK_ITER_PROCS currently iterates live group leaders; however,
this means that a process with dying leader and live threads will be
skipped.  IOW, cgroup.procs might be empty while cgroup.threads isn't,
which is confusing to say the least.

Fix it by making cset track dying tasks and include dying leaders with
live threads in PROCS iteration.

cgroup: Implement css_task_iter_skip()

2019-08-09T15:52:34+00:00

commit b636fd38dc40113f853337a7d2a6885ad23b8811 upstream.

When a task is moved out of a cset, task iterators pointing to the
task are advanced using the normal css_task_iter_advance() call.  This
is fine but we'll be tracking dying tasks on csets and thus moving
tasks from cset->tasks to (to be added) cset->dying_tasks.  When we
remove a task from cset->tasks, if we advance the iterators, they may
move over to the next cset before we had the chance to add the task
back on the dying list, which can allow the task to escape iteration.

This patch separates out skipping from advancing.  Skipping only moves
the affected iterators to the next pointer rather than fully advancing
it and the following advancing will recognize that the cursor has
already been moved forward and do the rest of advancing.  This ensures
that when a task moves from one list to another in its cset, as long
as it moves in the right direction, it's always visible to iteration.

This doesn't cause any visible behavior changes.
