sched/headers: Prepare for new header dependencies before moving code to

2017-03-02T07:42:34+00:00

We are going to split  out of , which
will have to be picked up from other headers and a couple of .c files.

Create a trivial placeholder  file that just
maps to  to make this patch obviously correct and
bisectable.

Include the new header in the files that are going to need it.

x86/dumpstack: Make stack name tags more comprehensible

2016-11-21T12:00:42+00:00

NMI stack dumps are bracketed by the following tags:

  
  ...
  

The ending tag is kind of confusing if you don't already know what "EOE"
means (end of exception).  The same ending tag is also used to mark the
end of all other exceptions' stacks.  For example:

  <#DF>
  ...
  

And similarly, "EOI" is used as the ending tag for interrupts:

  
  ...
  

Change the tags to be more comprehensible by making them symmetrical and
more XML-esque:

  
  ...
  

  <#DF>
  ...
  

  
  ...

x86/dumpstack: Warn on stack recursion

2016-10-27T06:32:38+00:00

Print a warning if stack recursion is detected.

Use printk_deferred_once() because the unwinder can be called with the
console lock by lockdep via save_stack_trace().

x86/dumpstack: Remove raw stack dump

2016-10-25T16:40:37+00:00

For mostly historical reasons, the x86 oops dump shows the raw stack
values:

  ...
  [registers]
  Stack:
   ffff880079af7350 ffff880079905400 0000000000000000 ffffc900008f3ae0
   ffffffffa0196610 0000000000000001 00010000ffffffff 0000000087654321
   0000000000000002 0000000000000000 0000000000000000 0000000000000000
  Call Trace:
  ...

This seems to be an artifact from long ago, and probably isn't needed
anymore.  It generally just adds noise to the dump, and it can be
actively harmful because it leaks kernel addresses.

Linus says:

  "The stack dump actually goes back to forever, and it used to be
   useful back in 1992 or so. But it used to be useful mainly because
   stacks were simpler and we didn't have very good call traces anyway. I
   definitely remember having used them - I just do not remember having
   used them in the last ten+ years.

   Of course, it's still true that if you can trigger an oops, you've
   likely already lost the security game, but since the stack dump is so
   useless, let's aim to just remove it and make games like the above
   harder."

This also removes the related 'kstack=' cmdline option and the
'kstack_depth_to_print' sysctl.

x86/dumpstack: Remove dump_trace() and related callbacks

2016-09-20T06:29:34+00:00

All previous users of dump_trace() have been converted to use the new
unwind interfaces, so we can remove it and the related
print_context_stack() and print_context_stack_bp() callback functions.

x86/dumpstack: Convert show_trace_log_lvl() to use the new unwinder

2016-09-20T06:29:34+00:00

Convert show_trace_log_lvl() to use the new unwinder.  dump_trace() has
been deprecated.

show_trace_log_lvl() is special compared to other users of the unwinder.
It's the only place where both reliable *and* unreliable addresses are
needed.  With frame pointers enabled, most callers of the unwinder don't
want to know about unreliable addresses.  But in this case, when we're
dumping the stack to the console because something presumably went
wrong, the unreliable addresses are useful:

- They show stale data on the stack which can provide useful clues.

- If something goes wrong with the unwinder, or if frame pointers are
  corrupt or missing, all the stack addresses still get shown.

So in order to show all addresses on the stack, and at the same time
figure out which addresses are reliable, we have to do the scanning and
the unwinding in parallel.

The scanning is done with the help of get_stack_info() to traverse the
stacks.  The unwinding is done separately by the new unwinder.

In theory we could simplify show_trace_log_lvl() by instead pushing some
of this logic into the unwind code.  But then we would need some kind of
"fake" frame logic in the unwinder which would add a lot of complexity
and wouldn't be worth it in order to support only one user.

Another benefit of this approach is that once we have a DWARF unwinder,
we should be able to just plug it in with minimal impact to this code.

Another change here is that callers of show_trace_log_lvl() don't need
to provide the 'bp' argument.  The unwinder already finds the relevant
frame pointer by unwinding until it reaches the first frame after the
provided stack pointer.

x86/dumpstack: Remove NULL task pointer convention

2016-09-16T14:21:39+00:00

show_stack_log_lvl() and friends allow a NULL pointer for the
task_struct to indicate the current task.  This creates confusion and
can cause sneaky bugs.

Instead require the caller to pass 'current' directly.

This only changes the internal workings of the dumpstack code.  The
dump_trace() and show_stack() interfaces still allow a NULL task
pointer.  Those interfaces should also probably be fixed as well.

x86/dumpstack: Pin the target stack when dumping it

2016-09-16T07:18:53+00:00

Specifically, pin the stack in save_stack_trace_tsk() and
show_trace_log_lvl().

This will prevent a crash if the target task dies before or while
dumping its stack once we start freeing task stacks early.

x86/dumpstack: Add recursion checking for all stacks

2016-09-15T06:13:15+00:00

in_exception_stack() has some recursion checking which makes sure the
stack trace code never traverses a given exception stack more than once.
This prevents an infinite loop if corruption somehow causes a stack's
"next stack" pointer to point to itself (directly or indirectly).

The recursion checking can be useful for other stacks in addition to the
exception stack, so extend it to work for all stacks.

x86/dumpstack: Add support for unwinding empty IRQ stacks

2016-09-15T06:13:15+00:00

When an interrupt happens in entry code while running on a software IRQ
stack, and the IRQ stack was empty, regs->sp will contain the stack end
address (e.g., irq_stack_ptr).  If the regs are passed to dump_trace(),
get_stack_info() will report STACK_TYPE_UNKNOWN, causing dump_trace() to
return prematurely without trying to go to the next stack.

Update the bounds checking for software interrupt stacks so that the
ending address is now considered part of the stack.

This means that it's now possible for the 'walk_stack' callbacks --
print_context_stack() and print_context_stack_bp() -- to be called with
an empty stack.  But that's fine; they're already prepared to deal with
that due to their on_stack() checks.
