Nothing is using it yet, but this will allow us to delay the open-time checks to use time, without breaking the normal UNIX permission semantics where permissions are determined by the opener (and the file descriptor can then be passed to a different process, or the process can drop capabilities).

2013-04-12ftrace: Move ftrace_filter_lseek out of CONFIG_DYNAMIC_FTRACE sectionSteven Rostedt (Red Hat)
As ftrace_filter_lseek is now used with ftrace_pid_fops, it needs to be moved out of the #ifdef CONFIG_DYNAMIC_FTRACE section as the ftrace_pid_fops is defined when DYNAMIC_FTRACE is not.

2013-04-12tracing: Fix possible NULL pointer dereferencesNamhyung Kim
Currently set_ftrace_pid and set_graph_function files use seq_lseek for their fops. However seq_open() is called only for FMODE_READ in the fops->open() so that if an user tries to seek one of those file when she open it for writing, it sees NULL seq_file and then panic. It can be easily reproduced with following command: $ cd /sys/kernel/debug/tracing $ echo 1234 | sudo tee -a set_ftrace_pid In this example, GNU coreutils' tee opens the file with fopen(, "a") and then the fopen() internally calls lseek().

The second patch fixes an issue where if the sysctl is used to disable and enable function tracing, it can put the function tracing into an unstable state. The third patch fixes an issue with perf using the function tracer.

2013-04-08PM / reboot: call syscore_shutdown() after disable_nonboot_cpus()Huacai Chen
As commit 40dc166c (PM / Core: Introduce struct syscore_ops for core subsystems PM) say, syscore_ops operations should be carried with one CPU on-line and interrupts disabled. However, after commit f96972f2d (kernel/sys.c: call disable_nonboot_cpus() in kernel_restart()), syscore_shutdown() is called before disable_nonboot_cpus(), so break the rules. We have a MIPS machine with a 8259A PIC, and there is an external timer (HPET) linked at 8259A. Since 8259A has been shutdown too early (by syscore_shutdown()), disable_nonboot_cpus() runs without timer interrupt, so it hangs and reboot fails. This patch call syscore_shutdown() a little later (after disable_nonboot_cpus()) to avoid reboot failure, this is the same way as poweroff does. For consistency, add disable_nonboot_cpus() to kernel_halt(). Signed-off-by: Huacai Chen <chenhc@lemote.com> Cc: <stable@vger.kernel.org> Signed-off-by: Rafael J. Wysocki <rafael.j.wysocki@intel.com>
2013-04-08ftrace: Do not call stub functions in control loopSteven Rostedt (Red Hat)
The function tracing control loop used by perf spits out a warning if the called function is not a control function. This is because the control function references a per cpu allocated data structure on struct ftrace_ops that is not allocated for other types of functions. commit 0a016409e42 "ftrace: Optimize the function tracer list loop" Had an optimization done to all function tracing loops to optimize for a single registered ops. Unfortunately, this allows for a slight race when tracing starts or ends, where the stub function might be called after the current registered ops is removed. In this case we get the following dump: root# perf stat -e ftrace:function sleep 1 [ 74.339105] WARNING: at include/linux/ftrace.h:209 ftrace_ops_control_func+0xde/0xf0() [ 74.349522] Hardware name: PRIMERGY RX200 S6 [ 74.357149] Modules linked in: sg igb iTCO_wdt ptp pps_core iTCO_vendor_support i7core_edac dca lpc_ich i2c_i801 coretemp edac_core crc32c_intel mfd_core ghash_clmulni_intel dm_multipath acpi_power_meter pcspk r microcode vhost_net tun macvtap macvlan nfsd kvm_intel kvm auth_rpcgss nfs_acl lockd sunrpc uinput xfs libcrc32c sd_mod crc_t10dif sr_mod cdrom mgag200 i2c_algo_bit drm_kms_helper ttm qla2xxx mptsas ahci drm li bahci scsi_transport_sas mptscsih libata scsi_transport_fc i2c_core mptbase scsi_tgt dm_mirror dm_region_hash dm_log dm_mod [ 74.446233] Pid: 1377, comm: perf Tainted: G W 3.9.0-rc1 #1 [ 74.453458] Call Trace: [ 74.456233] [<ffffffff81062e3f>] warn_slowpath_common+0x7f/0xc0 [ 74.462997] [<ffffffff810fbc60>] ? rcu_note_context_switch+0xa0/0xa0 [ 74.470272] [<ffffffff811041a2>] ? __unregister_ftrace_function+0xa2/0x1a0 [ 74.478117] [<ffffffff81062e9a>] warn_slowpath_null+0x1a/0x20 [ 74.484681] [<ffffffff81102ede>] ftrace_ops_control_func+0xde/0xf0 [ 74.491760] [<ffffffff8162f400>] ftrace_call+0x5/0x2f [ 74.497511] [<ffffffff8162f400>] ? ftrace_call+0x5/0x2f [ 74.503486] [<ffffffff8162f400>] ? ftrace_call+0x5/0x2f [ 74.509500] [<ffffffff810fbc65>] ? synchronize_sched+0x5/0x50 [ 74.516088] [<ffffffff816254d5>] ? _cond_resched+0x5/0x40 [ 74.522268] [<ffffffff810fbc65>] ? synchronize_sched+0x5/0x50 [ 74.528837] [<ffffffff811041a2>] ? __unregister_ftrace_function+0xa2/0x1a0 [ 74.536696] [<ffffffff816254d5>] ? _cond_resched+0x5/0x40 [ 74.542878] [<ffffffff8162402d>] ? mutex_lock+0x1d/0x50 [ 74.548869] [<ffffffff81105c67>] unregister_ftrace_function+0x27/0x50 [ 74.556243] [<ffffffff8111eadf>] perf_ftrace_event_register+0x9f/0x140 [ 74.563709] [<ffffffff816254d5>] ? _cond_resched+0x5/0x40 [ 74.569887] [<ffffffff8162402d>] ? mutex_lock+0x1d/0x50 [ 74.575898] [<ffffffff8111e94e>] perf_trace_destroy+0x2e/0x50 [ 74.582505] [<ffffffff81127ba9>] tp_perf_event_destroy+0x9/0x10 [ 74.589298] [<ffffffff811295d0>] free_event+0x70/0x1a0 [ 74.595208] [<ffffffff8112a579>] perf_event_release_kernel+0x69/0xa0 [ 74.602460] [<ffffffff816254d5>] ? _cond_resched+0x5/0x40 [ 74.608667] [<ffffffff8112a640>] put_event+0x90/0xc0 [ 74.614373] [<ffffffff8112a740>] perf_release+0x10/0x20 [ 74.620367] [<ffffffff811a3044>] __fput+0xf4/0x280 [ 74.625894] [<ffffffff811a31de>] ____fput+0xe/0x10 [ 74.631387] [<ffffffff81083697>] task_work_run+0xa7/0xe0 [ 74.637452] [<ffffffff81014981>] do_notify_resume+0x71/0xb0 [ 74.643843] [<ffffffff8162fa92>] int_signal+0x12/0x17 To fix this a new ftrace_ops flag is added that denotes the ftrace_list_end ftrace_ops stub as just that, a stub.

2013-04-08sched_clock: Prevent 64bit inatomicity on 32bit systemsThomas Gleixner
The sched_clock_remote() implementation has the following inatomicity problem on 32bit systems when accessing the remote scd->clock, which is a 64bit value. CPU0 CPU1 sched_clock_local() sched_clock_remote(CPU0) ... remote_clock = scd[CPU0]->clock read_low32bit(scd[CPU0]->clock) cmpxchg64(scd->clock,...) read_high32bit(scd[CPU0]->clock) While the update of scd->clock is using an atomic64 mechanism, the readout on the remote cpu is not, which can cause completely bogus readouts. It is a quite rare problem, because it requires the update to hit the narrow race window between the low/high readout and the update must go across the 32bit boundary. The resulting misbehaviour is, that CPU1 will see the sched_clock on CPU1 ~4 seconds ahead of it's own and update CPU1s sched_clock value to this bogus timestamp. This stays that way due to the clamping implementation for about 4 seconds until the synchronization with CLOCK_MONOTONIC undoes the problem. The issue is hard to observe, because it might only result in a less accurate SCHED_OTHER timeslicing behaviour. To create observable damage on realtime scheduling classes, it is necessary that the bogus update of CPU1 sched_clock happens in the context of an realtime thread, which then gets charged 4 seconds of RT runtime, which results in the RT throttler mechanism to trigger and prevent scheduling of RT tasks for a little less than 4 seconds. So this is quite unlikely as well. The issue was quite hard to decode as the reproduction time is between 2 days and 3 weeks and intrusive tracing makes it less likely, but the following trace recorded with trace_clock=global, which uses sched_clock_local(), gave the final hint: <idle>-0 0d..30 400269.477150: hrtimer_cancel: hrtimer=0xf7061e80 <idle>-0 0d..30 400269.477151: hrtimer_start: hrtimer=0xf7061e80 ... irq/20-S-587 1d..32 400273.772118: sched_wakeup: comm= ... target_cpu=0 <idle>-0 0dN.30 400273.772118: hrtimer_cancel: hrtimer=0xf7061e80 What happens is that CPU0 goes idle and invokes sched_clock_idle_sleep_event() which invokes sched_clock_local() and CPU1 runs a remote wakeup for CPU0 at the same time, which invokes sched_remote_clock(). The time jump gets propagated to CPU0 via sched_remote_clock() and stays stale on both cores for ~4 seconds. There are only two other possibilities, which could cause a stale sched clock: 1) ktime_get() which reads out CLOCK_MONOTONIC returns a sporadic wrong value. 2) sched_clock() which reads the TSC returns a sporadic wrong value. #1 can be excluded because sched_clock would continue to increase for one jiffy and then go stale. #2 can be excluded because it would not make the clock jump forward. It would just result in a stale sched_clock for one jiffy. After quite some brain twisting and finding the same pattern on other traces, sched_clock_remote() remained the only place which could cause such a problem and as explained above it's indeed racy on 32bit systems. So while on 64bit systems the readout is atomic, we need to verify the remote readout on 32bit machines. We need to protect the local->clock readout in sched_clock_remote() on 32bit as well because an NMI could hit between the low and the high readout, call sched_clock_local() and modify local->clock. Thanks to Siegfried Wulsch for bearing with my debug requests and going through the tedious tasks of running a bunch of reproducer systems to generate the debug information which let me decode the issue.

2013-03-27userns: Restrict when proc and sysfs can be mountedEric W. Biederman
Only allow unprivileged mounts of proc and sysfs if they are already mounted when the user namespace is created. proc and sysfs are interesting because they have content that is per namespace, and so fresh mounts are needed when new namespaces are created while at the same time proc and sysfs have content that is shared between every instance. Respect the policy of who may see the shared content of proc and sysfs by only allowing new mounts if there was an existing mount at the time the user namespace was created. In practice there are only two interesting cases: proc and sysfs are mounted at their usual places, proc and sysfs are not mounted at all (some form of mount namespace jail).

2013-03-27userns: Don't allow creation if the user is chrootedEric W. Biederman
Guarantee that the policy of which files may be access that is established by setting the root directory will not be violated by user namespaces by verifying that the root directory points to the root of the mount namespace at the time of user namespace creation. Changing the root is a privileged operation, and as a matter of policy it serves to limit unprivileged processes to files below the current root directory. For reasons of simplicity and comprehensibility the privilege to change the root directory is gated solely on the CAP_SYS_CHROOT capability in the user namespace. Therefore when creating a user namespace we must ensure that the policy of which files may be access can not be violated by changing the root directory. Anyone who runs a processes in a chroot and would like to use user namespace can setup the same view of filesystems with a mount namespace instead. With this result that this is not a practical limitation for using user namespaces.

2013-03-22poweroff: change orderly_poweroff() to use schedule_work()Oleg Nesterov
David said: Commit 6c0c0d4d1080 ("poweroff: fix bug in orderly_poweroff()") apparently fixes one bug in orderly_poweroff(), but introduces another. The comments on orderly_poweroff() claim it can be called from any context - and indeed we call it from interrupt context in arch/powerpc/platforms/pseries/ras.c for example. But since that commit this is no longer safe, since call_usermodehelper_fns() is not safe in interrupt context without the UMH_NO_WAIT option. orderly_poweroff() can be used from any context but UMH_WAIT_EXEC is sleepable. Move the "force" logic into __orderly_poweroff() and change orderly_poweroff() to use the global poweroff_work which simply calls __orderly_poweroff(). While at it, remove the unneeded "int argc" and change argv_split() to use GFP_KERNEL. We use the global "bool poweroff_force" to pass the argument, this can obviously affect the previous request if it is pending/running. So we only allow the "false => true" transition assuming that the pending "true" should succeed anyway. If schedule_work() fails after that we know that work->func() was not called yet, it must see the new value. This means that orderly_poweroff() becomes async even if we do not run the command and always succeeds, schedule_work() can only fail if the work is already pending. We can export __orderly_poweroff() and change the non-atomic callers which want the old semantics.

2013-03-22printk: Provide a wake_up_klogd() off-caseFrederic Weisbecker
wake_up_klogd() is useless when CONFIG_PRINTK=n because neither printk() nor printk_sched() are in use and there are actually no waiter on log_wait waitqueue. It should be a stub in this case for users like bust_spinlocks(). Otherwise this results in this warning when CONFIG_PRINTK=n and CONFIG_IRQ_WORK=n: kernel/built-in.o In function `wake_up_klogd': (.text.wake_up_klogd+0xb4): undefined reference to `irq_work_queue' To fix this, provide an off-case for wake_up_klogd() when CONFIG_PRINTK=n.

2013-03-21perf: Fix ring_buffer perf_output_space() boundary calculationStephane Eranian
This patch fixes a flaw in perf_output_space(). In case the size of the space needed is bigger than the actual buffer size, there may be situations where the function would return true (i.e., there is space) when it should not. head > offset due to rounding of the masking logic. The problem can be tested by activating BTS on Intel processors. A BTS record can be as big as 16 pages. The following command fails: $ perf record -m 4 -c 1 -e branches:u my_test_program You will get a buffer corruption with this. Perf report won't be able to parse the perf.data. The fix is to first check that the requested space is smaller than the buffer size. If so, then the masking logic will work fine. If not, then there is no chance the record can be saved and it will be gracefully handled by upper code layers. [ In v2, we also make the logic for the writable more explicit by renaming it to rb->overwrite because it tells whether or not the buffer can overwrite its tail (suggested by PeterZ). ] Signed-off-by: Stephane Eranian <eranian@google.com> Acked-by: Peter Zijlstra <a.p.zijlstra@chello.nl> Cc: peterz@infradead.org Cc: jolsa@redhat.com Cc: fweisbec@gmail.com Link: http://lkml.kernel.org/r/20130318133327.GA3056@quad Signed-off-by: Ingo Molnar <mingo@kernel.org>

2013-03-13signal: always clear sa_restorer on execveKees Cook
When the new signal handlers are set up, the location of sa_restorer is not cleared, leaking a parent process's address space location to children. This allows for a potential bypass of the parent's ASLR by examining the sa_restorer value returned when calling sigaction(). Based on what should be considered "secret" about addresses, it only matters across the exec not the fork (since the VMAs haven't changed until the exec). But since exec sets SIG_DFL and keeps sa_restorer, this is where it should be fixed. Given the few uses of sa_restorer, a "set" function was not written since this would be the only use. Instead, we use __ARCH_HAS_SA_RESTORER, as already done in other places. Example of the leak before applying this patch: $ cat /proc/$$/maps ... 7fb9f3083000-7fb9f3238000 r-xp 00000000 fd:01 404469 .../libc-2.15.so ... $ ./leak ... 7f278bc74000-7f278be29000 r-xp 00000000 fd:01 404469 .../libc-2.15.so ... 1 0 (nil) 0x7fb9f30b94a0 2 4000000 (nil) 0x7f278bcaa4a0 3 4000000 (nil) 0x7f278bcaa4a0 4 0 (nil) 0x7fb9f30b94a0 ...

2013-03-13userns: Don't allow CLONE_NEWUSER | CLONE_FSEric W. Biederman
Don't allowing sharing the root directory with processes in a different user namespace. There doesn't seem to be any point, and to allow it would require the overhead of putting a user namespace reference in fs_struct (for permission checks) and incrementing that reference count on practically every call to fork. So just perform the inexpensive test of forbidding sharing fs_struct acrosss processes in different user namespaces. We already disallow other forms of threading when unsharing a user namespace so this should be no real burden in practice. This updates setns, clone, and unshare to disallow multiple user namespaces sharing an fs_struct. Cc: stable@vger.kernel.org Signed-off-by: "Eric W.

2013-03-12tracing: Fix race in snapshot swappingSteven Rostedt (Red Hat)
Although the swap is wrapped with a spin_lock, the assignment of the temp buffer used to swap is not within that lock. It needs to be moved into that lock, otherwise two swaps happening on two different CPUs, can end up using the wrong temp buffer to assign in the swap. Luckily, all current callers of the swap function appear to have their own locks. But in case something is added that allows two different callers to call the swap, then there's a chance that this race can trigger and corrupt the buffers. New code is coming soon that will allow for this race to trigger. I've Cc'd stable, so this bug will not show up if someone backports one of the changes that can trigger this bug.
