tracing: Initialize iter->seq after zeroing in tracing_read_pipe()

2019-11-06T12:06:09+00:00

It caught the process in the middle of trace_access_unlock(). There is
no loop. So, it must be looping in the caller tracing_read_pipe()
via the "waitagain" label.

Crashdump analyze uncovered that iter->seq was completely zeroed
at this point, including iter->seq.seq.size. It means that
print_trace_line() was never able to print anything and
there was no forward progress.

The culprit seems to be in the code:

	/* reset all but tr, trace, and overruns */
	memset(&iter->seq, 0,
	       sizeof(struct trace_iterator) -
	       offsetof(struct trace_iterator, seq));

It was added by the commit 53d0aa773053ab182877 ("ftrace:
add logic to record overruns"). It was v2.6.27-rc1.
It was the time when iter->seq looked like:

     struct trace_seq {
	unsigned char		buffer[PAGE_SIZE];
	unsigned int		len;
     };

There was no "size" variable and zeroing was perfectly fine.

The solution is to reinitialize the structure after or without
zeroing.

sched/vtime: Fix guest/system mis-accounting on task switch

2019-11-06T12:06:01+00:00

[ Upstream commit 68e7a4d66b0ce04bf18ff2ffded5596ab3618585 ]

vtime_account_system() assumes that the target task to account cputime
to is always the current task. This is most often true indeed except on
task switch where we call:

	vtime_common_task_switch(prev)
		vtime_account_system(prev)

Here prev is the scheduling-out task where we account the cputime to. It
doesn't match current that is already the scheduling-in task at this
stage of the context switch.

So we end up checking the wrong task flags to determine if we are
accounting guest or system time to the previous task.

As a result the wrong task is used to check if the target is running in
guest mode. We may then spuriously account or leak either system or
guest time on task switch.

Fix this assumption and also turn vtime_guest_enter/exit() to use the
task passed in parameter as well to avoid future similar issues.

tracing: Fix race in perf_trace_buf initialization

2019-10-29T08:20:03+00:00

commit 6b1340cc00edeadd52ebd8a45171f38c8de2a387 upstream.

A race condition exists while initialiazing perf_trace_buf from
perf_trace_init() and perf_kprobe_init().

      CPU0                                        CPU1
perf_trace_init()
  mutex_lock(&event_mutex)
    perf_trace_event_init()
      perf_trace_event_reg()
        total_ref_count == 0
	buf = alloc_percpu()
        perf_trace_buf[i] = buf
        tp_event->class->reg() //fails       perf_kprobe_init()
	goto fail                              perf_trace_event_init()
                                                 perf_trace_event_reg()
        fail:
	  total_ref_count == 0

                                                   total_ref_count == 0
                                                   buf = alloc_percpu()
                                                   perf_trace_buf[i] = buf
                                                   tp_event->class->reg()
                                                   total_ref_count++

          free_percpu(perf_trace_buf[i])
          perf_trace_buf[i] = NULL

Any subsequent call to perf_trace_event_reg() will observe total_ref_count > 0,
causing the perf_trace_buf to be always NULL. This can result in perf_trace_buf
getting accessed from perf_trace_buf_alloc() without being initialized. Acquiring
event_mutex in perf_kprobe_init() before calling perf_trace_event_init() should
fix this race.

The race caused the following bug:

perf/aux: Fix AUX output stopping

2019-10-29T08:20:03+00:00

commit f3a519e4add93b7b31a6616f0b09635ff2e6a159 upstream.

Commit:

  8a58ddae2379 ("perf/core: Fix exclusive events' grouping")

allows CAP_EXCLUSIVE events to be grouped with other events. Since all
of those also happen to be AUX events (which is not the case the other
way around, because arch/s390), this changes the rules for stopping the
output: the AUX event may not be on its PMU's context any more, if it's
grouped with a HW event, in which case it will be on that HW event's
context instead. If that's the case, munmap() of the AUX buffer can't
find and stop the AUX event, potentially leaving the last reference with
the atomic context, which will then end up freeing the AUX buffer. This
will then trip warnings:

Fix this by using the context's PMU context when looking for events
to stop, instead of the event's PMU context.

perf/hw_breakpoint: Fix arch_hw_breakpoint use-before-initialization

commit 310aa0a25b338b3100c94880c9a69bec8ce8c3ae upstream.

If we disable the compiler's auto-initialization feature, if
-fplugin-arg-structleak_plugin-byref or -ftrivial-auto-var-init=pattern
are disabled, arch_hw_breakpoint may be used before initialization after:

  9a4903dde2c86 ("perf/hw_breakpoint: Split attribute parse and commit")

On our ARM platform, the struct step_ctrl in arch_hw_breakpoint, which
used to be zero-initialized by kzalloc(), may be used in
arch_install_hw_breakpoint() without initialization.

tracing: Get trace_array reference for available_tracers files

2019-10-17T20:45:41+00:00

commit 194c2c74f5532e62c218adeb8e2b683119503907 upstream.

As instances may have different tracers available, we need to look at the
trace_array descriptor that shows the list of the available tracers for the
instance. But there's a race between opening the file and an admin
deleting the instance. The trace_array_get() needs to be called before
accessing the trace_array.

ftrace: Get a reference counter for the trace_array on filter files

The ftrace set_ftrace_filter and set_ftrace_notrace files are specific for
an instance now. They need to take a reference to the instance otherwise
there could be a race between accessing the files and deleting the instance.

It wasn't until the :mod: caching where these file operations started
referencing the trace_array directly.

tracing/hwlat: Don't ignore outer-loop duration when calculating max_latency

commit fc64e4ad80d4b72efce116f87b3174f0b7196f8e upstream.

max_latency is intended to record the maximum ever observed hardware
latency, which may occur in either part of the loop (inner/outer). So
we need to also consider the outer-loop sample when updating
max_latency.

tracing/hwlat: Report total time spent in all NMIs during the sample

commit 98dc19c11470ee6048aba723d77079ad2cda8a52 upstream.

nmi_total_ts is supposed to record the total time spent in *all* NMIs
that occur on the given CPU during the (active portion of the)
sampling window. However, the code seems to be overwriting this
variable for each NMI, thereby only recording the time spent in the
most recent NMI. Fix it by accumulating the duration instead.

kernel/sysctl.c: do not override max_threads provided by userspace

2019-10-17T20:45:19+00:00

commit b0f53dbc4bc4c371f38b14c391095a3bb8a0bb40 upstream.

Partially revert 16db3d3f1170 ("kernel/sysctl.c: threads-max observe
limits") because the patch is causing a regression to any workload which
needs to override the auto-tuning of the limit provided by kernel.

set_max_threads is implementing a boot time guesstimate to provide a
sensible limit of the concurrently running threads so that runaways will
not deplete all the memory.  This is a good thing in general but there
are workloads which might need to increase this limit for an application
to run (reportedly WebSpher MQ is affected) and that is simply not
possible after the mentioned change.  It is also very dubious to
override an admin decision by an estimation that doesn't have any direct
relation to correctness of the kernel operation.

Fix this by dropping set_max_threads from sysctl_max_threads so any
value is accepted as long as it fits into MAX_THREADS which is important
to check because allowing more threads could break internal robust futex
restriction.  While at it, do not use MIN_THREADS as the lower boundary
because it is also only a heuristic for automatic estimation and admin
might have a good reason to stop new threads to be created even when
below this limit.

This became more severe when we switched x86 from 4k to 8k kernel
stacks.  Starting since 6538b8ea886e ("x86_64: expand kernel stack to
16K") (3.16) we use THREAD_SIZE_ORDER = 2 and that halved the auto-tuned
value.

In the particular case

  3.12
  kernel.threads-max = 515561

  4.4
  kernel.threads-max = 200000

Neither of the two values is really insane on 32GB machine.

I am not sure we want/need to tune the max_thread value further.  If
anything the tuning should be removed altogether if proven not useful in
general.  But we definitely need a way to override this auto-tuning.
