alarmtimer: don't rate limit one-shot timers

2017-07-27T22:06:10+00:00

Commit ff86bf0c65f1 ("alarmtimer: Rate limit periodic intervals") sets a
minimum bound on the alarm timer interval.  This minimum bound shouldn't
be applied if the interval is 0.  Otherwise, one-shot timers will be
converted into periodic ones.

tracing: Fix kmemleak in instance_rmdir

2017-07-27T22:06:10+00:00

commit db9108e054700c96322b0f0028546aa4e643cf0b upstream.

Hit the kmemleak when executing instance_rmdir, it forgot releasing
mem of tracing_cpumask. With this fix, the warn does not appear any
more.

Revert "perf/core: Drop kernel samples even though :u is specified"

2017-07-27T22:06:09+00:00

commit 6a8a75f3235724c5941a33e287b2f98966ad14c5 upstream.

This reverts commit cc1582c231ea041fbc68861dfaf957eaf902b829.

This commit introduced a regression that broke rr-project, which uses sampling
events to receive a signal on overflow (but does not care about the contents
of the sample). These signals are critical to the correct operation of rr.

There's been some back and forth about how to fix it - but to not keep
applications in limbo queue up a revert.

ftrace: Fix uninitialized variable in match_records()

2017-07-27T22:06:07+00:00

commit 2e028c4fe12907f226b8221815f16c2486ad3aa7 upstream.

My static checker complains that if "func" is NULL then "clear_filter"
is uninitialized.  This seems like it could be true, although it's
possible something subtle is happening that I haven't seen.

tracing: Use SOFTIRQ_OFFSET for softirq dectection for more accurate results

2017-07-21T05:44:59+00:00

commit c59f29cb144a6a0dfac16ede9dc8eafc02dc56ca upstream.

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()

commit f32d782e31bf079f600dcec126ed117b0577e85c upstream.

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

2017-07-21T05:44:59+00:00

commit 73bb059f9b8a00c5e1bf2f7ca83138c05d05e600 upstream.

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

2017-07-21T05:44:56+00:00

commit c0d80ddab89916273cb97114889d3f337bc370ae upstream.

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

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

Mark the function notrace to avoid it being traced.

bpf: prevent leaking pointer via xadd on unpriviledged

2017-07-21T05:44:55+00:00

commit 6bdf6abc56b53103324dfd270a86580306e1a232 upstream.

Leaking kernel addresses on unpriviledged is generally disallowed,
for example, verifier rejects the following:

  0: (b7) r0 = 0
  1: (18) r2 = 0xffff897e82304400
  3: (7b) *(u64 *)(r1 +48) = r2
  R2 leaks addr into ctx

Doing pointer arithmetic on them is also forbidden, so that they
don't turn into unknown value and then get leaked out. However,
there's xadd as a special case, where we don't check the src reg
for being a pointer register, e.g. the following will pass:

  0: (b7) r0 = 0
  1: (7b) *(u64 *)(r1 +48) = r0
  2: (18) r2 = 0xffff897e82304400 ; map
  4: (db) lock *(u64 *)(r1 +48) += r2
  5: (95) exit

We could store the pointer into skb->cb, loose the type context,
and then read it out from there again to leak it eventually out
of a map value. Or more easily in a different variant, too:

   0: (bf) r6 = r1
   1: (7a) *(u64 *)(r10 -8) = 0
   2: (bf) r2 = r10
   3: (07) r2 += -8
   4: (18) r1 = 0x0
   6: (85) call bpf_map_lookup_elem#1
   7: (15) if r0 == 0x0 goto pc+3
   R0=map_value(ks=8,vs=8,id=0),min_value=0,max_value=0 R6=ctx R10=fp
   8: (b7) r3 = 0
   9: (7b) *(u64 *)(r0 +0) = r3
  10: (db) lock *(u64 *)(r0 +0) += r6
  11: (b7) r0 = 0
  12: (95) exit

  from 7 to 11: R0=inv,min_value=0,max_value=0 R6=ctx R10=fp
  11: (b7) r0 = 0
  12: (95) exit

Prevent this by checking xadd src reg for pointer types. Also
add a couple of test cases related to this.

sysctl: report EINVAL if value is larger than UINT_MAX for proc_douintvec

2017-07-15T09:57:46+00:00

commit 425fffd886bae3d127a08fa6a17f2e31e24ed7ff upstream.

Currently, inputting the following command will succeed but actually the
value will be truncated:

  # echo 0x12ffffffff > /proc/sys/net/ipv4/tcp_notsent_lowat

This is not friendly to the user, so instead, we should report error
when the value is larger than UINT_MAX.
