Ryan Mallon [Tue, 12 Nov 2013 23:08:51 +0000 (15:08 -0800)]
vsprintf: check real user/group id for %pK

Some setuid binaries will allow reading of files which have read
permission by the real user id.  This is problematic with files which
use %pK because the file access permission is checked at open() time,
but the kptr_restrict setting is checked at read() time.  If a setuid
binary opens a %pK file as an unprivileged user, and then elevates
permissions before reading the file, then kernel pointer values may be
leaked.

This happens for example with the setuid pppd application on Ubuntu 12.04:

  $ head -1 /proc/kallsyms
  00000000 T startup_32

  $ pppd file /proc/kallsyms
  pppd: In file /proc/kallsyms: unrecognized option 'c1000000'

This will only leak the pointer value from the first line, but other
setuid binaries may leak more information.

Fix this by adding a check that in addition to the current process having
CAP_SYSLOG, that effective user and group ids are equal to the real ids.
If a setuid binary reads the contents of a file which uses %pK then the
pointer values will be printed as NULL if the real user is unprivileged.

Update the sysctl documentation to reflect the changes, and also correct
the documentation to state the kptr_restrict=0 is the default.

This is a only temporary solution to the issue.  The correct solution is
to do the permission check at open() time on files, and to replace %pK
with a function which checks the open() time permission.  %pK uses in
printk should be removed since no sane permission check can be done, and
instead protected by using dmesg_restrict.

gen_init_cpio: avoid NULL pointer dereference and rework env expanding

getenv() may return NULL if given environment variable does not exist
which leads to NULL dereference when calling strncat.

Besides that, the environment variable name was copied to a temporary
env_var buffer, but this copying can be avoided by simply using the input
string.

Lastly, the whole loop can be greatly simplified by using the snprintf
function instead of the playing with strncat.

 By the way, the current implementation allows a recursive variable
 expansion, as in:

   $ echo 'out ${A} out ' | A='a ${B} a' B=b /tmp/a
   out a b a out

 I'm assuming this is just a side effect and not a conscious decision
 (especially as this may lead to infinite loop), but I didn't want to
 change this behaviour without consulting.

 If the current behaviour is deamed incorrect, I'll be happy to send
 a patch without recursive processing.

marking pages prot_numa.  task_numa_work was using the old return value

interpret the pair of values correctly.  This is a straight-forward
operation and likely to only be of interest when actively debugging NUMA

The impact of this patch is that the NUMA PTE scanner will scan slower

the flip size system CPU usage should be lower than recent tests

address and result in failing mmap(2) etc.

In case that the address higher than PAGE_SIZE is set to
/proc/sys/vm/mmap_min_addr, the address lower than mmap_min_addr can be
returned by get_unmapped_area(), even if you do not pass any virtual
address hint (i.e.  the second argument).

This is because the current get_unmapped_area() code does not take into
account mmap_min_addr.

This leads to two actual problems as follows:

1. mmap(2) can fail with EPERM on the process without CAP_SYS_RAWIO,
   although any illegal parameter is not passed.

2. The bottom-up search path after the top-down search might not work in
   arch_get_unmapped_area_topdown().

Note: The first and third chunk of my patch, which changes "len" check,
are for more precise check using mmap_min_addr, and not for solving the
above problem.

(i.e.  requested size is smaller than half of page block).  The end result
is that the antifragmentation framework increases fragmenation instead of
decreasing it.

Mel's original anti fragmentation does the right thing.  But commit

  if (offset - (ra->prev_pos >> PAGE_CACHE_SHIFT) <= 1UL)

The current offset is stored in the "offset" variable of type "pgoff_t"
(unsigned long), while previous offset is stored in "ra->prev_pos" of
type "loff_t" (long long).  Therefore, operands of the if statement are
implicitly converted to type long long.  Consequently, when previous
offset > current offset (which happens on random pattern), the if
condition is true and access is wrongly interpeted as sequential.  An
unnecessary data prefetching is triggered, impacting the average random
read latency.

Storing the previous offset value in a "pgoff_t" variable (unsigned
long) fixes the sequential read detection logic.

mm: do not walk all of system memory during show_mem

It has been reported on very large machines that show_mem is taking almost
5 minutes to display information.  This is a serious problem if there is
an OOM storm.  The bulk of the cost is in show_mem doing a very expensive
PFN walk to give us the following information

  Total RAM:       Also available as totalram_pages
  Highmem pages:   Also available as totalhigh_pages
  Reserved pages:  Can be inferred from the zone structure
  Shared pages:    PFN walk required
  Unshared pages:  PFN walk required
  Quick pages:     Per-cpu walk required

Only the shared/unshared pages requires a full PFN walk but that
information is useless.  It is also inaccurate as page pins of unshared
pages would be accounted for as shared.  Even if the information was
accurate, I'm struggling to think how the shared/unshared information
could be useful for debugging OOM conditions.  Maybe it was useful before
rmap existed when reclaiming shared pages was costly but it is less
relevant today.

The PFN walk could be optimised a bit but why bother as the information is
useless.  This patch deletes the PFN walker and infers the total RAM,
highmem and reserved pages count from struct zone.  It omits the
shared/unshared page usage on the grounds that it is useless.  It also
corrects the reporting of HighMem as HighMem/MovableOnly as ZONE_MOVABLE
has similar problems to HighMem with respect to lowmem/highmem exhaustion.

11 years agomem-hotplug: introduce movable_node boot option
Tang Chen [Tue, 12 Nov 2013 23:08:10 +0000 (15:08 -0800)]
mem-hotplug: introduce movable_node boot option

The hot-Pluggable field in SRAT specifies which memory is hotpluggable.
As we mentioned before, if hotpluggable memory is used by the kernel, it
cannot be hot-removed.  So memory hotplug users may want to set all
hotpluggable memory in ZONE_MOVABLE so that the kernel won't use it.

Memory hotplug users may also set a node as movable node, which has
ZONE_MOVABLE only, so that the whole node can be hot-removed.

But the kernel cannot use memory in ZONE_MOVABLE.  By doing this, the
kernel cannot use memory in movable nodes.  This will cause NUMA
performance down.  And other users may be unhappy.

So we need a way to allow users to enable and disable this functionality.
In this patch, we introduce movable_node boot option to allow users to
choose to not to consume hotpluggable memory at early boot time and later
we can set it as ZONE_MOVABLE.

To achieve this, the movable_node boot option will control the memblock
allocation direction.  That said, after memblock is ready, before SRAT is
parsed, we should allocate memory near the kernel image as we explained in
the previous patches.  So if movable_node boot option is set, the kernel
does the following:

1. After memblock is ready, make memblock allocate memory bottom up.
2. After SRAT is parsed, make memblock behave as default, allocate memory
   top down.

Users can specify "movable_node" in kernel commandline to enable this
functionality.  For those who don't use memory hotplug or who don't want
to lose their NUMA performance, just don't specify anything.  The kernel
will work as before.

x86/mem-hotplug: support initialize page tables in bottom-up

The Linux kernel cannot migrate pages used by the kernel.  As a result,
kernel pages cannot be hot-removed.  So we cannot allocate hotpluggable
memory for the kernel.

In a memory hotplug system, any numa node the kernel resides in should be
unhotpluggable.  And for a modern server, each node could have at least
16GB memory.  So memory around the kernel image is highly likely
unhotpluggable.

ACPI SRAT (System Resource Affinity Table) contains the memory hotplug
info.  But before SRAT is parsed, memblock has already started to allocate
memory for the kernel.  So we need to prevent memblock from doing this.

So direct memory mapping page tables setup is the case.
init_mem_mapping() is called before SRAT is parsed.  To prevent page
tables being allocated within hotpluggable memory, we will use bottom-up
direction to allocate page tables from the end of kernel image to the
higher memory.

Note:
As for allocating page tables in lower memory, TJ said:

: This is an optional behavior which is triggered by a very specific kernel
: boot param, which I suspect is gonna need to stick around to support
: memory hotplug in the current setup unless we add another layer of address
: translation to support memory hotplug.

As for page tables may occupy too much lower memory if using 4K mapping
(CONFIG_DEBUG_PAGEALLOC and CONFIG_KMEMCHECK both disable using >4k
pages), TJ said:

: But as I said in the same paragraph, parsing SRAT earlier doesn't solve
: the problem in itself either.  Ignoring the option if 4k mapping is
: required and memory consumption would be prohibitive should work, no?
: Something like that would be necessary if we're gonna worry about cases
: like this no matter how we implement it, but, frankly, I'm not sure this
: is something worth worrying about.

mm/memblock.c: factor out of top-down allocation

[Problem]

The current Linux cannot migrate pages used by the kernel because of the
kernel direct mapping.  In Linux kernel space, va = pa + PAGE_OFFSET.
When the pa is changed, we cannot simply update the pagetable and keep the
va unmodified.  So the kernel pages are not migratable.

There are also some other issues will cause the kernel pages not
migratable.  For example, the physical address may be cached somewhere and
will be used.  It is not to update all the caches.

When doing memory hotplug in Linux, we first migrate all the pages in one
memory device somewhere else, and then remove the device.  But if pages
are used by the kernel, they are not migratable.  As a result, memory used
by the kernel cannot be hot-removed.

Modifying the kernel direct mapping mechanism is too difficult to do.  And
it may cause the kernel performance down and unstable.  So we use the
following way to do memory hotplug.

[What we are doing]

In Linux, memory in one numa node is divided into several zones.  One of
the zones is ZONE_MOVABLE, which the kernel won't use.

In order to implement memory hotplug in Linux, we are going to arrange all
hotpluggable memory in ZONE_MOVABLE so that the kernel won't use these
memory.  To do this, we need ACPI's help.

In ACPI, SRAT(System Resource Affinity Table) contains NUMA info.  The
memory affinities in SRAT record every memory range in the system, and
also, flags specifying if the memory range is hotpluggable.  (Please refer
to ACPI spec 5.0 5.2.16)

With the help of SRAT, we have to do the following two things to achieve our
goal:

1. When doing memory hot-add, allow the users arranging hotpluggable as
   ZONE_MOVABLE.
   (This has been done by the MOVABLE_NODE functionality in Linux.)

2. when the system is booting, prevent bootmem allocator from allocating
   hotpluggable memory for the kernel before the memory initialization
   finishes.

The problem 2 is the key problem we are going to solve. But before solving it,
we need some preparation. Please see below.

[Preparation]

Bootloader has to load the kernel image into memory.  And this memory must
be unhotpluggable.  We cannot prevent this anyway.  So in a memory hotplug
system, we can assume any node the kernel resides in is not hotpluggable.

Before SRAT is parsed, we don't know which memory ranges are hotpluggable.
 But memblock has already started to work.  In the current kernel,
memblock allocates the following memory before SRAT is parsed:

setup_arch()
 |->memblock_x86_fill()            /* memblock is ready */
 |......
 |->early_reserve_e820_mpc_new()   /* allocate memory under 1MB */
 |->reserve_real_mode()            /* allocate memory under 1MB */
 |->init_mem_mapping()             /* allocate page tables, about 2MB to map 1GB memory */

According to Tejun's advice, before SRAT is parsed, we should try our best
to allocate memory near the kernel image.  Since the whole node the kernel
resides in won't be hotpluggable, and for a modern server, a node may have
at least 16GB memory, allocating several mega bytes memory around the
kernel image won't cross to hotpluggable memory.

[About this patchset]

So this patchset is the preparation for the problem 2 that we want to
solve.  It does the following:

1. Make memblock be able to allocate memory bottom up.
   1) Keep all the memblock APIs' prototype unmodified.
   2) When the direction is bottom up, keep the start address greater than the
      end of kernel image.

2. Improve init_mem_mapping() to support allocate page tables in
   bottom up direction.

3. Introduce "movable_node" boot option to enable and disable this
   functionality.

This patch (of 6):

Create a new function __memblock_find_range_top_down to factor out of
top-down allocation from memblock_find_in_range_node.  This is a
preparation because we will introduce a new bottom-up allocation mode in
the following patch.

11 years agowriteback: do not sync data dirtied after sync start
Jan Kara [Tue, 12 Nov 2013 23:07:51 +0000 (15:07 -0800)]
writeback: do not sync data dirtied after sync start

When there are processes heavily creating small files while sync(2) is
running, it can easily happen that quite some new files are created
between WB_SYNC_NONE and WB_SYNC_ALL pass of sync(2).  That can happen
especially if there are several busy filesystems (remember that sync
traverses filesystems sequentially and waits in WB_SYNC_ALL phase on one
fs before starting it on another fs).  Because WB_SYNC_ALL pass is slow
(e.g.  causes a transaction commit and cache flush for each inode in
ext3), resulting sync(2) times are rather large.

The following script reproduces the problem:

  function run_writers
  {
    for (( i = 0; i < 10; i++ )); do
      mkdir $1/dir$i
      for (( j = 0; j < 40000; j++ )); do
        dd if=/dev/zero of=$1/dir$i/$j bs=4k count=4 &>/dev/null
      done &
    done
  }

  for dir in "$@"; do
    run_writers $dir
  done

  sleep 40
  time sync

Fix the problem by disregarding inodes dirtied after sync(2) was called
in the WB_SYNC_ALL pass.  To allow for this, sync_inodes_sb() now takes
a time stamp when sync has started which is used for setting up work for
flusher threads.

To give some numbers, when above script is run on two ext4 filesystems
on simple SATA drive, the average sync time from 10 runs is 267.549
seconds with standard deviation 104.799426.  With the patched kernel,
the average sync time from 10 runs is 2.995 seconds with standard
deviation 0.096.

hugepage from the node which have max record of scaned normal pages hit,
so that the effect to original page-balancing can be minimized.

The other problem is if normal scanned pages are equally allocated from
Node A,B and C, after khugepaged started Node A will still suffer extra
memory pressure.
