perf/core: Force USER_DS when recording user stack data

2018-09-10T12:01:46+00:00

Perf can record user stack data in response to a synchronous request, such
as a tracepoint firing. If this happens under set_fs(KERNEL_DS), then we
end up reading user stack data using __copy_from_user_inatomic() under
set_fs(KERNEL_DS). I think this conflicts with the intention of using
set_fs(KERNEL_DS). And it is explicitly forbidden by hardware on ARM64
when both CONFIG_ARM64_UAO and CONFIG_ARM64_PAN are used.

So fix this by forcing USER_DS when recording user stack data.

perf/hw_breakpoint: Simplify breakpoint enable in perf_event_modify_breakpoint

2018-08-30T17:49:24+00:00

We can safely enable the breakpoint back for both the fail and success
paths by checking only the bp->attr.disabled, which either holds the new
'requested' disabled state or the original breakpoint state.

Committer testing:

At the end of the series, the 'perf test' entry introduced as the first
patch now runs to completion without finding the fixed issues:

  # perf test "bp modify"
  62: x86 bp modify                                         : Ok
  #

In verbose mode:

  # perf test -v "bp modify"
  62: x86 bp modify                                         :
  --- start ---
  test child forked, pid 5161
  rip 5950a0, bp_1 0x5950a0
  in bp_1
  rip 5950a0, bp_1 0x5950a0
  in bp_1
  test child finished with 0
  ---- end ----

perf/hw_breakpoint: Enable breakpoint in modify_user_hw_breakpoint

2018-08-30T17:49:23+00:00

Currently we enable the breakpoint back only if the breakpoint
modification was successful. If it fails we can leave the breakpoint in
disabled state with attr->disabled == 0.

We can safely enable the breakpoint back for both the fail and success
paths by checking the bp->attr.disabled, which either holds the new
'requested' disabled state or the original breakpoint state.

perf/hw_breakpoint: Remove superfluous bp->attr.disabled = 0

2018-08-30T17:49:23+00:00

Once the breakpoint was succesfully modified, the attr->disabled value
is in bp->attr.disabled. So there's no reason to set it again, removing
that.

perf/hw_breakpoint: Modify breakpoint even if the new attr has disabled set

2018-08-30T17:49:23+00:00

We need to change the breakpoint even if the attr with new fields has
disabled set to true.

Current code prevents following user code to change the breakpoint
address:

  ptrace(PTRACE_POKEUSER, child, offsetof(struct user, u_debugreg[0]), addr_1)
  ptrace(PTRACE_POKEUSER, child, offsetof(struct user, u_debugreg[0]), addr_2)
  ptrace(PTRACE_POKEUSER, child, offsetof(struct user, u_debugreg[7]), dr7)

The first PTRACE_POKEUSER creates the breakpoint with attr.disabled set
to true:

  ptrace_set_breakpoint_addr(nr = 0)
    struct perf_event *bp = t->ptrace_bps[nr];

    ptrace_register_breakpoint(..., disabled = true)
      ptrace_fill_bp_fields(..., disabled)
      register_user_hw_breakpoint

So the second PTRACE_POKEUSER will be omitted:

  ptrace_set_breakpoint_addr(nr = 0)
    struct perf_event *bp = t->ptrace_bps[nr];
    struct perf_event_attr attr = bp->attr;

    modify_user_hw_breakpoint(bp, &attr)
      if (!attr->disabled)
        modify_user_hw_breakpoint_check

treewide: convert ISO_8859-1 text comments to utf-8

2018-08-24T01:48:43+00:00

Almost all files in the kernel are either plain text or UTF-8 encoded.  A
couple however are ISO_8859-1, usually just a few characters in a C
comments, for historic reasons.

This converts them all to UTF-8 for consistency.

Pull core signal handling updates from Eric Biederman:
 "It was observed that a periodic timer in combination with a
  sufficiently expensive fork could prevent fork from every completing.
  This contains the changes to remove the need for that restart.

  This set of changes is split into several parts:

   - The first part makes PIDTYPE_TGID a proper pid type instead
     something only for very special cases. The part starts using
     PIDTYPE_TGID enough so that in __send_signal where signals are
     actually delivered we know if the signal is being sent to a a group
     of processes or just a single process.

   - With that prep work out of the way the logic in fork is modified so
     that fork logically makes signals received while it is running
     appear to be received after the fork completes"

Pull tracing updates from Steven Rostedt:

- Restructure of lockdep and latency tracers

This is the biggest change. Joel Fernandes restructured the hooks
from irqs and preemption disabling and enabling. He got rid of a lot
of the preprocessor #ifdef mess that they caused.

He turned both lockdep and the latency tracers to use trace events
inserted in the preempt/irqs disabling paths. But unfortunately,
these started to cause issues in corner cases. Thus, parts of the
code was reverted back to where lockdep and the latency tracers just
get called directly (without using the trace events). But because the
original change cleaned up the code very nicely we kept that, as well
as the trace events for preempt and irqs disabling, but they are
limited to not being called in NMIs.

- Have trace events use SRCU for "rcu idle" calls. This was required
for the preempt/irqs off trace events. But it also had to not allow
them to be called in NMI context. Waiting till Paul makes an NMI safe
SRCU API.

- New notrace SRCU API to allow trace events to use SRCU.

- Addition of mcount-nop option support

- SPDX headers replacing GPL templates.

- Various other fixes and clean ups.

- Some fixes are marked for stable, but were not fully tested before
the merge window opened.

Pull arm64 updates from Will Deacon:
 "A bunch of good stuff in here. Worth noting is that we've pulled in
  the x86/mm branch from -tip so that we can make use of the core
  ioremap changes which allow us to put down huge mappings in the
  vmalloc area without screwing up the TLB. Much of the positive
  diffstat is because of the rseq selftest for arm64.

  Summary:

   - Wire up support for qspinlock, replacing our trusty ticket lock
     code

   - Add an IPI to flush_icache_range() to ensure that stale
     instructions fetched into the pipeline are discarded along with the
     I-cache lines

   - Support for the GCC "stackleak" plugin

   - Support for restartable sequences, plus an arm64 port for the
     selftest

   - Kexec/kdump support on systems booting with ACPI

   - Rewrite of our syscall entry code in C, which allows us to zero the
     GPRs on entry from userspace

   - Support for chained PMU counters, allowing 64-bit event counters to
     be constructed on current CPUs

   - Ensure scheduler topology information is kept up-to-date with CPU
     hotplug events

   - Re-enable support for huge vmalloc/IO mappings now that the core
     code has the correct hooks to use break-before-make sequences

   - Miscellaneous, non-critical fixes and cleanups"
