2014-03-24VERIFY_OCTAL_PERMISSIONS: stricter checking for sysfs perms.Rusty Russell
Summary of http://lkml.org/lkml/2014/3/14/363 : Ted: module_param(queue_depth, int, 444) Joe: 0444! Rusty: User perms >= group perms >= other perms? Joe: CLASS_ATTR, DEVICE_ATTR, SENSOR_ATTR and SENSOR_ATTR_2? Side effect of stricter permissions means removing the unnecessary S_IFREG from several callers. Note that the BUILD_BUG_ON_ZERO((perm) & 2) test was removed: a fair number of drivers fail this test, so that will be the debate for a future patch.

2014-03-13Fix: module signature vs tracepoints: add new TAINT_UNSIGNED_MODULEMathieu Desnoyers
Users have reported being unable to trace non-signed modules loaded within a kernel supporting module signature. This is caused by tracepoint.c:tracepoint_module_coming() refusing to take into account tracepoints sitting within force-loaded modules (TAINT_FORCED_MODULE). The reason for this check, in the first place, is that a force-loaded module may have a struct module incompatible with the layout expected by the kernel, and can thus cause a kernel crash upon forced load of that module on a kernel with CONFIG_TRACEPOINTS=y. Tracepoints, however, specifically accept TAINT_OOT_MODULE and TAINT_CRAP, since those modules do not lead to the "very likely system crash" issue cited above for force-loaded modules. With kernels having CONFIG_MODULE_SIG=y (signed modules), a non-signed module is tainted re-using the TAINT_FORCED_MODULE taint flag. Unfortunately, this means that Tracepoints treat that module as a force-loaded module, and thus silently refuse to consider any tracepoint within this module. Since an unsigned module does not fit within the "very likely system crash" category of tainting, add a new TAINT_UNSIGNED_MODULE taint flag to specifically address this taint behavior, and accept those modules within Tracepoints. We use the letter 'X' as a taint flag character for a module being loaded that doesn't know how to sign its name (proposed by Steven Rostedt). Also add the missing 'O' entry to trace event show_module_flags() list for the sake of completeness.

2013-11-26panic: Make panic_timeout configurableJason Baron
The panic_timeout value can be set via the command line option 'panic=x', or via /proc/sys/kernel/panic, however that is not sufficient when the panic occurs before we are able to set up these values. Thus, add a CONFIG_PANIC_TIMEOUT so that we can set the desired value from the .config. The default panic_timeout value continues to be 0 - wait forever. Also adds set_arch_panic_timeout(new_timeout, arch_default_timeout), which is intended to be used by arches in arch_setup(). The idea being that the new_timeout is only set if the user hasn't changed from the arch_default_timeout.

The only reason uaccess routines might sleep is if they fault. Make this explicit for all architectures. 2. A voluntary preemption point in uaccess functions means compiler can't inline them efficiently, this breaks assumptions that they are very fast and small that e.g. net code seems to make. Remove this preemption point so behaviour matches with what callers assume. 3. Accesses (e.g through socket ops) to kernel memory with KERNEL_DS like net/sunrpc does will never sleep. Remove an unconditinal might_sleep() in the might_fault() inline in kernel.h (used when PROVE_LOCKING is not set). 4. Accesses with pagefault_disable() return EFAULT but won't cause caller to sleep.

This changes might_fault() so that it does not trigger a false positive diagnostic for e.g. the following sequence: spin_lock_irqsave() pagefault_disable() copy_to_user() pagefault_enable() spin_unlock_irqrestore() In particular vhost wants to do this, to call socket ops from under a lock. There are 3 cases to consider: - CONFIG_PROVE_LOCKING - might_fault is non-inline so it's easy to move the in_atomic test to fix up the false positive warning. - CONFIG_DEBUG_ATOMIC_SLEEP - might_fault is currently inline, but we are calling a non-inline __might_sleep anyway, so let's use the non-line version of might_fault that does the right thing. - !CONFIG_DEBUG_ATOMIC_SLEEP && !CONFIG_PROVE_LOCKING __might_sleep is a nop so might_fault is a nop.

2013-05-28mm, sched: Drop voluntary schedule from might_fault()Michael S. Tsirkin
might_fault() is called from functions like copy_to_user() which most callers expect to be very fast, like a couple of instructions. So functions like memcpy_toiovec() call them many times in a loop. But might_fault() calls might_sleep() and with CONFIG_PREEMPT_VOLUNTARY this results in a function call. Let's not do this - just call __might_sleep() that produces a diagnostic for sleep within atomic, but drop might_preempt(). Here's a test sending traffic between the VM and the host, host is built with CONFIG_PREEMPT_VOLUNTARY: before: incoming: 7122.77 Mb/s outgoing: 8480.37 Mb/s after: incoming: 8619.24 Mb/s outgoing: 9455.42 Mb/s As a side effect, this fixes an issue pointed out by Ingo: might_fault might schedule differently depending on PROVE_LOCKING.

git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/rostedt/linux-trace Pull tracing updates from Steven Rostedt: "Along with the usual minor fixes and clean ups there are a few major changes with this pull request. 1) Multiple buffers for the ftrace facility This feature has been requested by many people over the last few years. I even heard that Google was about to implement it themselves. I finally had time and cleaned up the code such that you can now create multiple instances of the ftrace buffer and have different events go to different buffers. This way, a low frequency event will not be lost in the noise of a high frequency event. Note, currently only events can go to different buffers, the tracers (ie function, function_graph and the latency tracers) still can only be written to the main buffer. 2) The function tracer triggers have now been extended. The function tracer had two triggers. One to enable tracing when a function is hit, and one to disable tracing. Now you can record a stack trace on a single (or many) function(s), take a snapshot of the buffer (copy it to the snapshot buffer), and you can enable or disable an event to be traced when a function is hit. 3) A perf clock has been added. A "perf" clock can be chosen to be used when tracing. This will cause ftrace to use the same clock as perf uses, and hopefully this will make it easier to interleave the perf and ftrace data for analysis." * tag 'trace-3.10' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/rostedt/linux-trace: (82 commits) tracepoints: Prevent null probe from being added tracing: Compare to 1 instead of zero for is_signed_type() tracing: Remove obsolete macro guard _TRACE_PROFILE_INIT ftrace: Get rid of ftrace_profile_bits tracing: Check return value of tracing_init_dentry() tracing: Get rid of unneeded key calculation in ftrace_hash_move() tracing: Reset ftrace_graph_filter_enabled if count is zero tracing: Fix off-by-one on allocating stat->pages kernel: tracing: Use strlcpy instead of strncpy tracing: Update debugfs README file tracing: Fix ftrace_dump() tracing: Rename trace_event_mutex to trace_event_sem tracing: Fix comment about prefix in arch_syscall_match_sym_name() tracing: Convert trace_destroy_fields() to static tracing: Move find_event_field() into trace_events.c tracing: Use TRACE_MAX_PRINT instead of constant tracing: Use pr_warn_once instead of open coded implementation ring-buffer: Add ring buffer startup selftest tracing: Bring Documentation/trace/ftrace.txt up to date tracing: Add "perf" trace_clock ...

2013-03-15CONFIG_SYMBOL_PREFIX: cleanup.Rusty Russell
We have CONFIG_SYMBOL_PREFIX, which three archs define to the string "_". But Al Viro broke this in "consolidate cond_syscall and SYSCALL_ALIAS declarations" (in linux-next), and he's not the first to do so. Using CONFIG_SYMBOL_PREFIX is awkward, since we usually just want to prefix it so something. So various places define helpers which are defined to nothing if CONFIG_SYMBOL_PREFIX isn't set: 1) include/asm-generic/unistd.h defines __SYMBOL_PREFIX. 2) include/asm-generic/vmlinux.lds.h defines VMLINUX_SYMBOL(sym) 3) include/linux/export.h defines MODULE_SYMBOL_PREFIX. 4) include/linux/kernel.h defines SYMBOL_PREFIX (which differs from #7) 5) kernel/modsign_certificate.S defines ASM_SYMBOL(sym) 6) scripts/modpost.c defines MODULE_SYMBOL_PREFIX 7) scripts/Makefile.lib defines SYMBOL_PREFIX on the commandline if CONFIG_SYMBOL_PREFIX is set, so that we have a non-string version for pasting. (arch/h8300/include/asm/linkage.h defines SYMBOL_NAME(), too). Let's solve this properly: 1) No more generic prefix, just CONFIG_HAVE_UNDERSCORE_SYMBOL_PREFIX. 2) Make linux/export.h usable from asm. 3) Define VMLINUX_SYMBOL() and VMLINUX_SYMBOL_STR(). 4) Make everyone use them.

2013-03-15tracing: Add skip argument to trace_dump_stack()Steven Rostedt (Red Hat)
Altough the trace_dump_stack() already skips three functions in the call to stack trace, which gets the stack trace to start at the caller of the function, the caller may want to skip some more too (as it may have helper functions). Add a skip argument to the trace_dump_stack() that lets the caller skip back tracing functions that it doesn't care about. Signed-off-by: Steven Rostedt <rostedt@goodmis.org>
2013-03-15tracing: Optimize trace_printk() with one arg to use trace_puts()Steven Rostedt (Red Hat)
Although trace_printk() is extremely fast, especially when it uses trace_bprintk() (writes args straight to buffer instead of inserting into string), it still has the overhead of calling one of the printf sprintf() functions, that need to scan the fmt string to determine what, if any args it has. This is a waste of precious CPU cycles if the printk format has no args but a single constant string. It is better to use trace_puts() which does not have the overhead of the fmt scanning. But wouldn't it be nice if the developer didn't have to think about such things, and the compile would just do it for them? trace_printk("this string has no args\n"); [...] trace_printk("this sting does %p %d\n", foo, bar); As tracing is critical to have the least amount of overhead, especially when dealing with race conditions, and you want to eliminate any "Heisenbugs", you want the trace_printk() to use the fastest possible means of tracing. Currently the macro magic determines if it will use trace_bprintk() or if the fmt is a dynamic string (a variable), it will fall back to the slow trace_printk() method that does a full snprintf() before copying it into the buffer, where as trace_bprintk() only copys the pointer to the fmt and the args into the buffer. Well, now there's a way to spend some more Hogwarts cash and come up with new fancy macro magic. #define trace_printk(fmt, ...) \ do { \ char _______STR[] = __stringify((__VA_ARGS__)); \ if (sizeof(_______STR) > 3) \ do_trace_printk(fmt, ##__VA_ARGS__); \ else \ trace_puts(fmt); \ } while (0) The above needs a bit of explaining (both here and in the comments). By stringifying the __VA_ARGS__, we can, at compile time, determine the number of args that are being passed to trace_printk(). The extra parenthesis are required, otherwise the compiler complains about too many parameters for __stringify if there is more than one arg. When there are no args, the __stringify((__VA_ARGS__)) converts into "()\0", a string of 3 characters. Anything else, will be a string containing more than 3 characters. Now we assign that string to a dynamic char array, and then take the sizeof() of that array. If it is greater than 3 characters, we know trace_printk() has args and we need to do the full "do_trace_printk()" on them, otherwise it was only passed a single arg and we can optimize to use trace_puts().

2013-03-15tracing: Add trace_puts() for even faster trace_printk() tracingSteven Rostedt (Red Hat)
The trace_printk() is extremely fast and is very handy as it can be used in any context (including NMIs!). But it still requires scanning the fmt string for parsing the args. Even the trace_bprintk() requires a scan to know what args will be saved, although it doesn't copy the format string itself. Several times trace_printk() has no args, and wastes cpu cycles scanning the fmt string. Adding trace_puts() allows the developer to use an even faster tracing method that only saves the pointer to the string in the ring buffer without doing any format parsing at all. This will help remove even more of the "Heisenbug" effect, when debugging. Also fixed up the F_printk()s for the ftrace internal bprint and print events.

2013-03-15tracing: Add internal tracing_snapshot() functionsSteven Rostedt (Red Hat)
The new snapshot feature is quite handy. It's a way for the user to take advantage of the spare buffer that, until then, only the latency tracers used to "snapshot" the buffer when it hit a max latency. Now users can trigger a "snapshot" manually when some condition is hit in a program. But a snapshot currently can not be triggered by a condition inside the kernel. With the addition of tracing_snapshot() and tracing_snapshot_alloc(), snapshots can now be taking when a condition is hit, and the developer wants to snapshot the case without stopping the trace. Note, any snapshot will overwrite the old one, so take care in how this is done. These new functions are to be used like tracing_on(), tracing_off() and trace_printk() are. That is, they should never be called in the mainline Linux kernel. They are solely for the purpose of debugging. The tracing_snapshot() will not allocate a buffer, but it is safe to be called from any context (except NMIs). But if a snapshot buffer isn't allocated when it is called, it will write to the live buffer, complaining about the lack of a snapshot buffer, and then stop tracing (giving you the "permanent snapshot"). tracing_snapshot_alloc() will allocate the snapshot buffer if it was not already allocated and then take the snapshot. This routine *may sleep*, and must be called from context that can sleep. The allocation is done with GFP_KERNEL and not atomic. If you need a snapshot in an atomic context, say in early boot, then it is best to call the tracing_snapshot_alloc() before then, where it will allocate the buffer, and then you can use the tracing_snapshot() anywhere you want and still get snapshots.

2012-12-20linux/kernel.h: fix DIV_ROUND_CLOSEST with unsigned divisorsGuenter Roeck
Commit 263a523d18bc ("linux/kernel.h: Fix warning seen with W=1 due to change in DIV_ROUND_CLOSEST") fixes a warning seen with W=1 due to change in DIV_ROUND_CLOSEST. Unfortunately, the C compiler converts divide operations with unsigned divisors to unsigned, even if the dividend is signed and negative (for example, -10 / 5U = 858993457). The C standard says "If one operand has unsigned int type, the other operand is converted to unsigned int", so the compiler is not to blame. As a result, DIV_ROUND_CLOSEST(0, 2U) and similar operations now return bad values, since the automatic conversion of expressions such as "0 - 2U/2" to unsigned was not taken into account. Fix by checking for the divisor variable type when deciding which operation to perform. This fixes DIV_ROUND_CLOSEST(0, 2U), but still returns bad values for negative dividends divided by unsigned divisors. Mark the latter case as unsupported. One observed effect of this problem is that the s2c_hwmon driver reports a value of 4198403 instead of 0 if the ADC reads 0. Other impact is unpredictable. Problem is seen if the divisor is an unsigned variable or constant and the dividend is less than (divisor/2).

After commit b6d86d3d (Fix DIV_ROUND_CLOSEST to support negative dividends), the following warning is seen if the kernel is compiled with W=1 (-Wextra): warning: comparison of unsigned expression >= 0 is always true The warning is due to the test '((typeof(x))-1) >= 0', which is used to detect if the variable type is unsigned. Research on the web suggests that the warning disappears if '>' instead of '>=' is used for the comparison. Tests after changing the macro along that line show that the warning is gone, and that the result is still correct: i=-4: DIV_ROUND_CLOSEST(i, 2)=-2 i=-3: DIV_ROUND_CLOSEST(i, 2)=-2 i=-2: DIV_ROUND_CLOSEST(i, 2)=-1 i=-1: DIV_ROUND_CLOSEST(i, 2)=-1 i=0: DIV_ROUND_CLOSEST(i, 2)=0 i=1: DIV_ROUND_CLOSEST(i, 2)=1 i=2: DIV_ROUND_CLOSEST(i, 2)=1 i=3: DIV_ROUND_CLOSEST(i, 2)=2 i=4: DIV_ROUND_CLOSEST(i, 2)=2 Code size is the same as before.

2012-04-23tracing: Add percpu buffers for trace_printk()Steven Rostedt
Currently, trace_printk() uses a single buffer to write into to calculate the size and format needed to save the trace. To do this safely in an SMP environment, a spin_lock() is taken to only allow one writer at a time to the buffer. But this could also affect what is being traced, and add synchronization that would not be there otherwise. Ideally, using percpu buffers would be useful, but since trace_printk() is only used in development, having per cpu buffers for something never used is a waste of space. Thus, the use of the trace_bprintk() format section is changed to be used for static fmts as well as dynamic ones. Then at boot up, we can check if the section that holds the trace_printk formats is non-empty, and if it does contain something, then we know a trace_printk() has been added to the kernel. At this time the trace_printk per cpu buffers are allocated. A check is also done at module load time in case a module is added that contains a trace_printk(). Once the buffers are allocated, they are never freed. If you use a trace_printk() then you should know what you are doing. A buffer is made for each type of context: normal softirq irq nmi The context is checked and the appropriate buffer is used. This allows for totally lockless usage of trace_printk(), and they no longer even disable interrupts.

[We've not kernel.h for BUILD_BUG_ON.] Ugh - very confusing for someone who is new to kernel development. With the above in mind, the goals of this changeset are: 1) find and fix any include/*.h files that were relying on the implicit presence of BUG code. 2) find and fix any C files that were consuming kernel.h and hence relying on implicitly getting some/all BUG code. 3) Move the BUG related code living in kernel.h to <linux/bug.h> 4) remove the asm/bug.h from kernel.h to finally break the chain. During development, the order was more like 3-4, build-test, 1-2. But to ensure that git history for bisect doesn't get needless build failures introduced, the commits have been reorderd to fix the problem areas in advance.
