ftrace: Fix removing of second function probe

2017-04-21T07:30:06+00:00

commit 82cc4fc2e70ec5baeff8f776f2773abc8b2cc0ae upstream.

When two function probes are added to set_ftrace_filter, and then one of
them is removed, the update to the function locations is not performed, and
the record keeping of the function states are corrupted, and causes an
ftrace_bug() to occur.

This is easily reproducable by adding two probes, removing one, and then
adding it back again.

cgroup, kthread: close race window where new kthreads can be migrated to non-root cgroups

2017-04-21T07:30:04+00:00

commit 77f88796cee819b9c4562b0b6b44691b3b7755b1 upstream.

Creation of a kthread goes through a couple interlocked stages between
the kthread itself and its creator.  Once the new kthread starts
running, it initializes itself and wakes up the creator.  The creator
then can further configure the kthread and then let it start doing its
job by waking it up.

In this configuration-by-creator stage, the creator is the only one
that can wake it up but the kthread is visible to userland.  When
altering the kthread's attributes from userland is allowed, this is
fine; however, for cases where CPU affinity is critical,
kthread_bind() is used to first disable affinity changes from userland
and then set the affinity.  This also prevents the kthread from being
migrated into non-root cgroups as that can affect the CPU affinity and
many other things.

Unfortunately, the cgroup side of protection is racy.  While the
PF_NO_SETAFFINITY flag prevents further migrations, userland can win
the race before the creator sets the flag with kthread_bind() and put
the kthread in a non-root cgroup, which can lead to all sorts of
problems including incorrect CPU affinity and starvation.

This bug got triggered by userland which periodically tries to migrate
all processes in the root cpuset cgroup to a non-root one.  Per-cpu
workqueue workers got caught while being created and ended up with
incorrected CPU affinity breaking concurrency management and sometimes
stalling workqueue execution.

This patch adds task->no_cgroup_migration which disallows the task to
be migrated by userland.  kthreadd starts with the flag set making
every child kthread start in the root cgroup with migration
disallowed.  The flag is cleared after the kthread finishes
initialization by which time PF_NO_SETAFFINITY is set if the kthread
should stay in the root cgroup.

It'd be better to wait for the initialization instead of failing but I
couldn't think of a way of implementing that without adding either a
new PF flag, or sleeping and retrying from waiting side.  Even if
userland depends on changing cgroup membership of a kthread, it either
has to be synchronized with kthread_create() or periodically repeat,
so it's unlikely that this would break anything.

v2: Switch to a simpler implementation using a new task_struct bit
    field suggested by Oleg.

ring-buffer: Fix return value check in test_ringbuffer()

2017-04-12T10:38:33+00:00

commit 62277de758b155dc04b78f195a1cb5208c37b2df upstream.

In case of error, the function kthread_run() returns ERR_PTR()
and never returns NULL. The NULL test in the return value check
should be replaced with IS_ERR().

ptrace: fix PTRACE_LISTEN race corrupting task->state

2017-04-12T10:38:33+00:00

commit 5402e97af667e35e54177af8f6575518bf251d51 upstream.

In PT_SEIZED + LISTEN mode STOP/CONT signals cause a wakeup against
__TASK_TRACED.  If this races with the ptrace_unfreeze_traced at the end
of a PTRACE_LISTEN, this can wake the task /after/ the check against
__TASK_TRACED, but before the reset of state to TASK_TRACED.  This
causes it to instead clobber TASK_WAKING, allowing a subsequent wakeup
against TRACED while the task is still on the rq wake_list, corrupting
it.

Oleg said:
 "The kernel can crash or this can lead to other hard-to-debug problems.
  In short, "task->state = TASK_TRACED" in ptrace_unfreeze_traced()
  assumes that nobody else can wake it up, but PTRACE_LISTEN breaks the
  contract. Obviusly it is very wrong to manipulate task->state if this
  task is already running, or WAKING, or it sleeps again"

padata: avoid race in reordering

2017-04-08T07:53:32+00:00

commit de5540d088fe97ad583cc7d396586437b32149a5 upstream.

Under extremely heavy uses of padata, crashes occur, and with list
debugging turned on, this happens instead:

[87487.298728] WARNING: CPU: 1 PID: 882 at lib/list_debug.c:33

[87487.361084]  [] padata_do_serial+0xa5/0x120

padata_reorder calls list_add_tail with the list to which its adding
locked, which seems correct:

spin_lock(&squeue->serial.lock);
list_add_tail(&padata->list, &squeue->serial.list);
spin_unlock(&squeue->serial.lock);

This therefore leaves only place where such inconsistency could occur:
if padata->list is added at the same time on two different threads.
This pdata pointer comes from the function call to
padata_get_next(pd), which has in it the following block:

next_queue = per_cpu_ptr(pd->pqueue, cpu);
padata = NULL;
reorder = &next_queue->reorder;
if (!list_empty(&reorder->list)) {
       padata = list_entry(reorder->list.next,
                           struct padata_priv, list);
       spin_lock(&reorder->lock);
       list_del_init(&padata->list);
       atomic_dec(&pd->reorder_objects);
       spin_unlock(&reorder->lock);

       pd->processed++;

       goto out;
}
out:
return padata;

I strongly suspect that the problem here is that two threads can race
on reorder list. Even though the deletion is locked, call to
list_entry is not locked, which means it's feasible that two threads
pick up the same padata object and subsequently call list_add_tail on
them at the same time. The fix is thus be hoist that lock outside of
that block.

sched/rt: Add a missing rescheduling point

2017-03-31T07:49:54+00:00

commit 619bd4a71874a8fd78eb6ccf9f272c5e98bcc7b7 upstream.

Since the change in commit:

  fd7a4bed1835 ("sched, rt: Convert switched_{from, to}_rt() / prio_changed_rt() to balance callbacks")

... we don't reschedule a task under certain circumstances:

Lets say task-A, SCHED_OTHER, is running on CPU0 (and it may run only on
CPU0) and holds a PI lock. This task is removed from the CPU because it
used up its time slice and another SCHED_OTHER task is running. Task-B on
CPU1 runs at RT priority and asks for the lock owned by task-A. This
results in a priority boost for task-A. Task-B goes to sleep until the
lock has been made available. Task-A is already runnable (but not active),
so it receives no wake up.

The reality now is that task-A gets on the CPU once the scheduler decides
to remove the current task despite the fact that a high priority task is
enqueued and waiting. This may take a long time.

The desired behaviour is that CPU0 immediately reschedules after the
priority boost which made task-A the task with the lowest priority.

that fork() can succeed even though we did not fully inherit the perf

kernek/fork.c: allocate idle task for a CPU always on its local node

2017-03-26T10:13:18+00:00

commit 725fc629ff2545b061407305ae51016c9f928fce upstream.

Linux preallocates the task structs of the idle tasks for all possible
CPUs.  This currently means they all end up on node 0.  This also
implies that the cache line of MWAIT, which is around the flags field in
the task struct, are all located in node 0.

We see a noticeable performance improvement on Knights Landing CPUs when
the cache lines used for MWAIT are located in the local nodes of the
CPUs using them.  I would expect this to give a (likely slight)
improvement on other systems too.

The patch implements placing the idle task in the node of its CPUs, by
passing the right target node to copy_process()

futex: Fix potential use-after-free in FUTEX_REQUEUE_PI

2017-03-22T11:04:19+00:00

commit c236c8e95a3d395b0494e7108f0d41cf36ec107c upstream.

While working on the futex code, I stumbled over this potential
use-after-free scenario. Dmitry triggered it later with syzkaller.

pi_mutex is a pointer into pi_state, which we drop the reference on in
unqueue_me_pi(). So any access to that pointer after that is bad.

Since other sites already do rt_mutex_unlock() with hb->lock held, see
for example futex_lock_pi(), simply move the unlock before
unqueue_me_pi().
