9 years agomm: send one IPI per CPU to TLB flush all entries after unmapping pages

mm: send one IPI per CPU to TLB flush all entries after unmapping pages

An IPI is sent to flush remote TLBs when a page is unmapped that was
potentially accesssed by other CPUs.  There are many circumstances where
this happens but the obvious one is kswapd reclaiming pages belonging to a
running process as kswapd and the task are likely running on separate
CPUs.

On small machines, this is not a significant problem but as machine gets
larger with more cores and more memory, the cost of these IPIs can be
high.  This patch uses a simple structure that tracks CPUs that
potentially have TLB entries for pages being unmapped.  When the unmapping
is complete, the full TLB is flushed on the assumption that a refill cost
is lower than flushing individual entries.

Architectures wishing to do this must give the following guarantee.

        If a clean page is unmapped and not immediately flushed, the
        architecture must guarantee that a write to that linear address
        from a CPU with a cached TLB entry will trap a page fault.

This is essentially what the kernel already depends on but the window is
much larger with this patch applied and is worth highlighting.  The
architecture should consider whether the cost of the full TLB flush is
higher than sending an IPI to flush each individual entry.  An additional
architecture helper called flush_tlb_local is required.  It's a trivial
wrapper with some accounting in the x86 case.

The impact of this patch depends on the workload as measuring any benefit
requires both mapped pages co-located on the LRU and memory pressure.  The
case with the biggest impact is multiple processes reading mapped pages
taken from the vm-scalability test suite.  The test case uses NR_CPU
readers of mapped files that consume 10*RAM.

It's still a noticeable improvement with vmstat showing interrupts went
from roughly 500K per second to 45K per second.

The patch will have no impact on workloads with no memory pressure or have
relatively few mapped pages.  It will have an unpredictable impact on the
workload running on the CPU being flushed as it'll depend on how many TLB
entries need to be refilled and how long that takes.  Worst case, the TLB
will be completely cleared of active entries when the target PFNs were not
resident at all.

9 years agox86, mm: trace when an IPI is about to be sent
Mel Gorman [Fri, 4 Sep 2015 22:47:29 +0000 (15:47 -0700)]
x86, mm: trace when an IPI is about to be sent

When unmapping pages it is necessary to flush the TLB.  If that page was
accessed by another CPU then an IPI is used to flush the remote CPU.  That
is a lot of IPIs if kswapd is scanning and unmapping >100K pages per
second.

There already is a window between when a page is unmapped and when it is
TLB flushed.  This series increases the window so multiple pages can be
flushed using a single IPI.  This should be safe or the kernel is hosed
already.

Patch 1 simply made the rest of the series easier to write as ftrace
        could identify all the senders of TLB flush IPIS.

Patch 2 tracks what CPUs potentially map a PFN and then sends an IPI
        to flush the entire TLB.

Patch 3 tracks when there potentially are writable TLB entries that
        need to be batched differently

Patch 4 increases SWAP_CLUSTER_MAX to further batch flushes

The performance impact is documented in the changelogs but in the optimistic
case on a 4-socket machine the full series reduces interrupts from 900K
interrupts/second to 60K interrupts/second.

This patch (of 4):

It is easy to trace when an IPI is received to flush a TLB but harder to
detect what event sent it.  This patch makes it easy to identify the
source of IPIs being transmitted for TLB flushes on x86.

9 years agouserfaultfd: allow signals to interrupt a userfault
Andrea Arcangeli [Fri, 4 Sep 2015 22:47:18 +0000 (15:47 -0700)]
userfaultfd: allow signals to interrupt a userfault

This is only simple to achieve if the userfault is going to return to
userland (not to the kernel) because we can avoid returning VM_FAULT_RETRY
despite we temporarily released the mmap_sem.  The fault would just be
retried by userland then.  This is safe at least on x86 and powerpc (the
two archs with the syscall implemented so far).

Hint to verify for which archs this is safe: after handle_mm_fault
returns, no access to data structures protected by the mmap_sem must be
done by the fault code in arch/*/mm/fault.c until up_read(&mm->mmap_sem)
is called.

This has two main benefits: signals can run with lower latency in
production (signals aren't blocked by userfaults and userfaults are
immediately repeated after signal processing) and gdb can then trivially
debug the threads blocked in this kind of userfaults coming directly from
userland.

On a side note: while gdb has a need to get signal processed, coredumps
always worked perfectly with userfaults, no matter if the userfault is
triggered by GUP a kernel copy_user or directly from userland.

userfaultfd: solve the race between UFFDIO_COPY|ZEROPAGE and read

Solve in-kernel the race between UFFDIO_COPY|ZEROPAGE and

Until now qemu solved the race in userland: the race was explicitly
and intentionally left for userland to solve. However we can also
solve it in kernel.

Requiring all users to solve this race if they use two threads (one
for the background transfer and one for the userfault reads) isn't
very attractive from an API prospective, furthermore this allows to
remove a whole bunch of mutex and bitmap code from qemu, making it
faster. The cost of __get_user_pages_fast should be insignificant
considering it scales perfectly and the pagetables are already hot in
the CPU cache, compared to the overhead in userland to maintain those
structures.

Applying this patch is backwards compatible with respect to the
userfaultfd userland API, however reverting this change wouldn't be
backwards compatible anymore.

Without this patch qemu in the background transfer thread, has to read
the old state, and do UFFDIO_WAKE if old_state is missing but it
become REQUESTED by the time it tries to set it to RECEIVED (signaling

9 years agouserfaultfd: wake pending userfaults
Andrea Arcangeli [Fri, 4 Sep 2015 22:46:41 +0000 (15:46 -0700)]
userfaultfd: wake pending userfaults

This is an optimization but it's a userland visible one and it affects
the API.

The downside of this optimization is that if you call poll() and you
get POLLIN, read(ufd) may still return -EAGAIN. The blocked userfault
may be waken by a different thread, before read(ufd) comes
around. This in short means that poll() isn't really usable if the
userfaultfd is opened in blocking mode.

userfaults won't wait in "pending" state to be read anymore and any
UFFDIO_WAKE or similar operations that has the objective of waking
userfaults after their resolution, will wake all blocked userfaults
for the resolved range, including those that haven't been read() by
userland yet.

The behavior of poll() becomes not standard, but this obviates the
need of "spurious" UFFDIO_WAKE and it lets the userland threads to
restart immediately without requiring an UFFDIO_WAKE. This is even
more significant in case of repeated faults on the same address from
multiple threads.

This optimization is justified by the measurement that the number of
spurious UFFDIO_WAKE accounts for 5% and 10% of the total
userfaults for heavy workloads, so it's worth optimizing those away.

9 years agouserfaultfd: change the read API to return a uffd_msg
Andrea Arcangeli [Fri, 4 Sep 2015 22:46:37 +0000 (15:46 -0700)]
userfaultfd: change the read API to return a uffd_msg

I had requests to return the full address (not the page aligned one) to
userland.

It's not entirely clear how the page offset could be relevant because
userfaults aren't like SIGBUS that can sigjump to a different place and it
actually skip resolving the fault depending on a page offset.  There's
currently no real way to skip the fault especially because after a
UFFDIO_COPY|ZEROPAGE, the fault is optimized to be retried within the
kernel without having to return to userland first (not even self modifying
code replacing the .text that touched the faulting address would prevent
the fault to be repeated).  Userland cannot skip repeating the fault even
more so if the fault was triggered by a KVM secondary page fault or any
get_user_pages or any copy-user inside some syscall which will return to
kernel code.  The second time FAULT_FLAG_RETRY_NOWAIT won't be set leading
to a SIGBUS being raised because the userfault can't wait if it cannot
release the mmap_map first (and FAULT_FLAG_RETRY_NOWAIT is required for
that).

Still returning userland a proper structure during the read() on the uffd,
can allow to use the current UFFD_API for the future non-cooperative
extensions too and it looks cleaner as well.  Once we get additional
fields there's no point to return the fault address page aligned anymore
to reuse the bits below PAGE_SHIFT.

The only downside is that the read() syscall will read 32bytes instead of
8bytes but that's not going to be measurable overhead.

The total number of new events that can be extended or of new future bits
for already shipped events, is limited to 64 by the features field of the
uffdio_api structure.  If more will be needed a bump of UFFD_API will be
required.

userfaultfd: linux/Documentation/vm/userfaultfd.txt

This is the latest userfaultfd patchset.  The postcopy live migration
feature on the qemu side is mostly ready to be merged and it entirely
depends on the userfaultfd syscall to be merged as well.  So it'd be great
if this patchset could be reviewed for merging in -mm.

Userfaults allow to implement on demand paging from userland and more
generally they allow userland to more efficiently take control of the
behavior of page faults than what was available before (PROT_NONE +
SIGSEGV trap).

The use cases are:

1) KVM postcopy live migration (one form of cloud memory
   externalization).

   KVM postcopy live migration is the primary driver of this work:

    http://blog.zhaw.ch/icclab/setting-up-post-copy-live-migration-in-openstack/
    http://lists.gnu.org/archive/html/qemu-devel/2015-02/msg04873.html

2) postcopy live migration of binaries inside linux containers:

    http://thread.gmane.org/gmane.linux.kernel.mm/132662

3) KVM postcopy live snapshotting (allowing to limit/throttle the
   memory usage, unlike fork would, plus the avoidance of fork
   overhead in the first place).

   While the wrprotect tracking is not implemented yet, the syscall API is
   already contemplating the wrprotect fault tracking and it's generic enough
   to allow its later implementation in a backwards compatible fashion.

4) KVM userfaults on shared memory. The UFFDIO_COPY lowlevel method
   should be extended to work also on tmpfs and then the
   uffdio_register.ioctls will notify userland that UFFDIO_COPY is
   available even when the registered virtual memory range is tmpfs
   backed.

5) alternate mechanism to notify web browsers or apps on embedded
   devices that volatile pages have been reclaimed. This basically
   avoids the need to run a syscall before the app can access with the
   CPU the virtual regions marked volatile. This depends on point 4)
   to be fulfilled first, as volatile pages happily apply to tmpfs.

Even though there wasn't a real use case requesting it yet, it also
allows to implement distributed shared memory in a way that readonly
shared mappings can exist simultaneously in different hosts and they
can be become exclusive at the first wrprotect fault.

This patch (of 22):

Add documentation.

mm/slub: don't wait for high-order page allocation

Description is almost copied from commit fb05e7a89f50 ("net: don't wait
for order-3 page allocation").

I saw excessive direct memory reclaim/compaction triggered by slub.  This
causes performance issues and add latency.  Slub uses high-order
allocation to reduce internal fragmentation and management overhead.  But,
direct memory reclaim/compaction has high overhead and the benefit of
high-order allocation can't compensate the overhead of both work.

This patch makes auxiliary high-order allocation atomic.  If there is no
memory pressure and memory isn't fragmented, the alloction will still
success, so we don't sacrifice high-order allocation's benefit here.  If
the atomic allocation fails, direct memory reclaim/compaction will not be
triggered, allocation fallback to low-order immediately, hence the direct
memory reclaim/compaction overhead is avoided.  In the allocation failure
case, kswapd is waken up and trying to make high-order freepages, so
allocation could success next time.

Following is the test to measure effect of this patch.

slab: infrastructure for bulk object allocation and freeing

Add the basic infrastructure for alloc/free operations on pointer arrays.
It includes a generic function in the common slab code that is used in
this infrastructure patch to create the unoptimized functionality for slab
bulk operations.

Allocators can then provide optimized allocation functions for situations
in which large numbers of objects are needed.  These optimization may
avoid taking locks repeatedly and bypass metadata creation if all objects
in slab pages can be used to provide the objects required.

Allocators can extend the skeletons provided and add their own code to the
bulk alloc and free functions.  They can keep the generic allocation and
freeing and just fall back to those if optimizations would not work (like

on the per CPU fastpath page.  This mostly amortize the less-heavy
none-locked cmpxchg_double used on fastpath.

The "fallback" bulking (e.g __kmem_cache_free_bulk) provides a good basis
for comparison.  Measurements[1] of the fallback functions
__kmem_cache_{free,alloc}_bulk have been copied from slab_common.c and

Benchmarking shows impressive improvements in the "fastpath" with a small
number of objects in the working set.  Once the working set increases,
resulting in activating the "slowpath" (that contains the heavier locked
cmpxchg_double) the improvement decreases.

I'm currently working on also optimizing the "slowpath" (as network stack
use-case hits this), but this patchset should provide a good foundation
for further improvements.  Rest of my patch queue in this area needs some
more work, but preliminary results are good.  I'm attending Netfilter
Workshop[2] next week, and I'll hopefully return working on further
improvements in this area.

      watchdog: Add watchdog enable/disable all functions

Hence, it is now possible that these functions execute concurrently with
the same 'cpu' argument.  This concurrency is problematic because per-cpu
'watchdog_ev' can be accessed/modified without adequate synchronization.

The patch series aims to address the above problem.  However, instead of
introducing locks to protect per-cpu 'watchdog_ev' a different approach is
taken: Invoke these functions by parking and unparking the watchdog
threads (to ensure they are always called in watchdog thread context).

  static struct smp_hotplug_thread watchdog_threads = {
           ...
          .park   = watchdog_disable, // calls watchdog_nmi_disable()
          .unpark = watchdog_enable,  // calls watchdog_nmi_enable()
  };

Both previously mentioned commits call these functions in a similar way
and thus in principle contain some duplicate code.  The patch series also
avoids this duplication by providing a commonly usable mechanism.

- Patch 1/4 introduces the watchdog_{park|unpark}_threads functions that
  park/unpark all watchdog threads specified in 'watchdog_cpumask'. They
  are intended to be called inside of kernel/watchdog.c only.

- Patch 2/4 introduces the watchdog_{suspend|resume} functions which can
  be utilized by external callers to deactivate the hard and soft lockup
  detector temporarily.

- Patch 3/4 utilizes watchdog_{park|unpark}_threads to replace some code
  that was introduced by commit 9809b18fcf6b8d8ec4d3643677345907e6b50eca.

- Patch 4/4 utilizes watchdog_{suspend|resume} to replace some code that
  was introduced by commit b3738d29323344da3017a91010530cf3a58590fc.

A few corner cases should be mentioned here for completeness.

- kthread_park() of watchdog/N could hang if cpu N is already locked up.
  However, if watchdog is enabled the lockup will be detected anyway.

- kthread_unpark() of watchdog/N could hang if cpu N got locked up after
  kthread_park(). The occurrence of this scenario should be _very_ rare
  in practice, in particular because it is not expected that temporary
  deactivation will happen frequently, and if it happens at all it is
  expected that the duration of deactivation will be short.

This patch (of 4): introduce watchdog_park_threads() and watchdog_unpark_threads()

These functions are intended to be used only from inside kernel/watchdog.c
to park/unpark all watchdog threads that are specified in
watchdog_cpumask.

9 years agosmpboot: make cleanup to mirror setup
Frederic Weisbecker [Fri, 4 Sep 2015 22:45:03 +0000 (15:45 -0700)]
smpboot: make cleanup to mirror setup

The per-cpu kthread cleanup() callback is the mirror of the setup()
callback.  When the per-cpu kthread is started, it first calls setup()
to initialize the resources which are then released by cleanup() when
the kthread exits.

Now since the introduction of a per-cpu kthread cpumask, the kthreads
excluded by the cpumask on boot may happen to be parked immediately
after their creation without taking the setup() stage, waiting to be
asked to unpark to do so.  Then when smpboot_unregister_percpu_thread()
is later called, the kthread is stopped without having ever called
setup().

But this triggers a bug as the kthread unconditionally calls cleanup()
on exit but this doesn't mirror any setup().  Thus the kernel crashes
because we try to free resources that haven't been initialized, as in
the watchdog case:

    WATCHDOG disable 0
    WATCHDOG disable 1
    WATCHDOG disable 2
    BUG: unable to handle kernel NULL pointer dereference at           (null)

This bug is currently masked with explicit kthread unparking before

setup() and then unpark().

We could fix this by unconditionally calling setup() on kthread entry.
But setup() isn't always cheap.  In the case of watchdog it launches
hrtimer, perf events, etc...  So we may as well like to skip it if there
are chances the kthread will never be used, as in a reduced cpumask value.

So let's simply do a state machine check before calling cleanup() that
makes sure setup() has been called before mirroring it.

And remove the nasty hack workaround.

9 years agofs: create and use seq_show_option for escaping
Kees Cook [Fri, 4 Sep 2015 22:44:57 +0000 (15:44 -0700)]
fs: create and use seq_show_option for escaping

Many file systems that implement the show_options hook fail to correctly
escape their output which could lead to unescaped characters (e.g.  new
lines) leaking into /proc/mounts and /proc/[pid]/mountinfo files.  This
could lead to confusion, spoofed entries (resulting in things like
systemd issuing false d-bus "mount" notifications), and who knows what
else.  This looks like it would only be the root user stepping on
themselves, but it's possible weird things could happen in containers or
in other situations with delegated mount privileges.

Here's an example using overlay with setuid fusermount trusting the
contents of /proc/mounts (via the /etc/mtab symlink).  Imagine the use
of "sudo" is something more sneaky:

  $ BASE="ovl"
  $ MNT="$BASE/mnt"
  $ LOW="$BASE/lower"
  $ UP="$BASE/upper"
  $ WORK="$BASE/work/ 0 0
  none /proc fuse.pwn user_id=1000"
  $ mkdir -p "$LOW" "$UP" "$WORK"
  $ sudo mount -t overlay -o "lowerdir=$LOW,upperdir=$UP,workdir=$WORK" none /mnt
  $ cat /proc/mounts
  none /root/ovl/mnt overlay rw,relatime,lowerdir=ovl/lower,upperdir=ovl/upper,workdir=ovl/work/ 0 0
  none /proc fuse.pwn user_id=1000 0 0
  $ fusermount -u /proc
  $ cat /proc/mounts
  cat: /proc/mounts: No such file or directory

This fixes the problem by adding new seq_show_option and
seq_show_option_n helpers, and updating the vulnerable show_option
handlers to use them as needed.  Some, like SELinux, need to be open
coded due to unusual existing escape mechanisms.

ocfs2: use 64bit variables to track heartbeat time

o2hb_elapsed_msecs computes the time taken for a disk heartbeat.
'struct timeval' variables are used to store start and end times.  On
32-bit systems, the 'tv_sec' component of 'struct timeval' will overflow
in year 2038 and beyond.

This patch solves the overflow with the following:

1. Replace o2hb_elapsed_msecs using 'ktime_t' values to measure start
   and end time, and built-in function 'ktime_ms_delta' to compute the
   elapsed time.  ktime_get_real() is used since the code prints out the
   wallclock time.

2. Changes format string to print time as a single 64-bit nanoseconds
   value ("%lld") instead of seconds and microseconds.  This simplifies
   the code since converting ktime_t to that format would need expensive
   computation.  However, the debug log string is less readable than the
   previous format.

the trans ocfs2_ci_checkpointed -> ocfs2_start_checkpoint before

ocfs2: add errors=continue

OCFS2 is often used in high-availaibility systems.  However, ocfs2
converts the filesystem to read-only at the drop of the hat.  This may
not be necessary, since turning the filesystem read-only would affect
other running processes as well, decreasing availability.

This attempt is to add errors=continue, which would return the EIO to
the calling process and terminate furhter processing so that the
filesystem is not corrupted further.  However, the filesystem is not
converted to read-only.

As a future plan, I intend to create a small utility or extend
fsck.ocfs2 to fix small errors such as in the inode.  The input to the
utility such as the inode can come from the kernel logs so we don't have
to schedule a downtime for fixing small-enough errors.

The patch changes the ocfs2_error to return an error.  The error
returned depends on the mount option set.  If none is set, the default
is to turn the filesystem read-only.

Perhaps errors=continue is not the best option name.  Historically it is
used for making an attempt to progress in the current process itself.
Should we call it errors=eio? or errors=killproc? Suggestions/Comments
welcome.

N1 doing the orphan scan work.

may do the work earlier.  In our tests, it may take 1 hour on 4 nodes

fs/notify: optimize inotify/fsnotify code for unwatched files

than reading one byte from a file, which is a _bit_ more than I expecte.
This is a dumb benchmark, but I think it's hard to deny that write() is
a hot path and we should avoid unnecessary overhead there.

I did a 'perf record' of 30-second samples of read and write.  The top

active inotify fd's from systemd, but nothing is actually listening to

I *think* we can avoid taking the srcu_read_lock() for the common case
where there are no actual marks on the file.  This means that there will
both be nothing to notify for *and* implies that there is no need for
clearing the ignore mask.

drivers/video/concole: add negative dependency for VGA_CONSOLE on ARC

Architectures which support VGA console must define screen_info
structurture from "uapi/linux/screen_info.h".  Otherwise undefined
symbol error occurs.  Usually it's defined in "setup.c" for each
architecture.

If an architecture does not support VGA console (ARC's case) there are 2
ways: define a dummy instance of screen_info or add a negative
dependency for VGA_CONSOLE in to prevent selecting this option.

I've implemented the second way.  However the best solution is to add
HAVE_VGA_CONSOLE option for targets which support VGA console.  Then
turn off VGA_CONSOLE by default and add dependency to HAVE_VGA_CONSOLE.
But right now it's better to just add a negative dependency for ARC and
then consider how to collaborate about this issue with maintainers of

9 years agocapabilities: ambient capabilities
Andy Lutomirski [Fri, 4 Sep 2015 22:42:45 +0000 (15:42 -0700)]
capabilities: ambient capabilities

Credit where credit is due: this idea comes from Christoph Lameter with
a lot of valuable input from Serge Hallyn.  This patch is heavily based
on Christoph's patch.

===== The status quo =====

On Linux, there are a number of capabilities defined by the kernel.  To
perform various privileged tasks, processes can wield capabilities that
they hold.

Each task has four capability masks: effective (pE), permitted (pP),
inheritable (pI), and a bounding set (X).  When the kernel checks for a
capability, it checks pE.  The other capability masks serve to modify
what capabilities can be in pE.

Any task can remove capabilities from pE, pP, or pI at any time.  If a
task has a capability in pP, it can add that capability to pE and/or pI.
If a task has CAP_SETPCAP, then it can add any capability to pI, and it
can remove capabilities from X.

Tasks are not the only things that can have capabilities; files can also
have capabilities.  A file can have no capabilty information at all [1].
If a file has capability information, then it has a permitted mask (fP)
and an inheritable mask (fI) as well as a single effective bit (fE) [2].
File capabilities modify the capabilities of tasks that execve(2) them.

A task that successfully calls execve has its capabilities modified for
the file ultimately being excecuted (i.e.  the binary itself if that
binary is ELF or for the interpreter if the binary is a script.) [3] In
the capability evolution rules, for each mask Z, pZ represents the old
value and pZ' represents the new value.  The rules are:

  pP' = (X & fP) | (pI & fI)
  pI' = pI
  pE' = (fE ? pP' : 0)
  X is unchanged

For setuid binaries, fP, fI, and fE are modified by a moderately
complicated set of rules that emulate POSIX behavior.  Similarly, if
euid == 0 or ruid == 0, then fP, fI, and fE are modified differently
(primary, fP and fI usually end up being the full set).  For nonroot
users executing binaries with neither setuid nor file caps, fI and fP
are empty and fE is false.

As an extra complication, if you execute a process as nonroot and fE is
set, then the "secure exec" rules are in effect: AT_SECURE gets set,
LD_PRELOAD doesn't work, etc.

This is rather messy.  We've learned that making any changes is
dangerous, though: if a new kernel version allows an unprivileged
program to change its security state in a way that persists cross
execution of a setuid program or a program with file caps, this
persistent state is surprisingly likely to allow setuid or file-capped
programs to be exploited for privilege escalation.

===== The problem =====

Capability inheritance is basically useless.

If you aren't root and you execute an ordinary binary, fI is zero, so
your capabilities have no effect whatsoever on pP'.  This means that you
can't usefully execute a helper process or a shell command with elevated
capabilities if you aren't root.

On current kernels, you can sort of work around this by setting fI to
the full set for most or all non-setuid executable files.  This causes
pP' = pI for nonroot, and inheritance works.  No one does this because
it's a PITA and it isn't even supported on most filesystems.

If you try this, you'll discover that every nonroot program ends up with
secure exec rules, breaking many things.

This is a problem that has bitten many people who have tried to use
capabilities for anything useful.

===== The proposed change =====

This patch adds a fifth capability mask called the ambient mask (pA).
pA does what most people expect pI to do.

pA obeys the invariant that no bit can ever be set in pA if it is not
set in both pP and pI.  Dropping a bit from pP or pI drops that bit from
pA.  This ensures that existing programs that try to drop capabilities
still do so, with a complication.  Because capability inheritance is so
broken, setting KEEPCAPS, using setresuid to switch to nonroot uids, and
then calling execve effectively drops capabilities.  Therefore,
setresuid from root to nonroot conditionally clears pA unless
SECBIT_NO_SETUID_FIXUP is set.  Processes that don't like this can
re-add bits to pA afterwards.

The capability evolution rules are changed:

  pA' = (file caps or setuid or setgid ? 0 : pA)
  pP' = (X & fP) | (pI & fI) | pA'
  pI' = pI
  pE' = (fE ? pP' : pA')
  X is unchanged

If you are nonroot but you have a capability, you can add it to pA.  If
you do so, your children get that capability in pA, pP, and pE.  For
example, you can set pA = CAP_NET_BIND_SERVICE, and your children can
automatically bind low-numbered ports.  Hallelujah!

Unprivileged users can create user namespaces, map themselves to a
nonzero uid, and create both privileged (relative to their namespace)
and unprivileged process trees.  This is currently more or less
impossible.  Hallelujah!

You cannot use pA to try to subvert a setuid, setgid, or file-capped
program: if you execute any such program, pA gets cleared and the
resulting evolution rules are unchanged by this patch.

Users with nonzero pA are unlikely to unintentionally leak that
capability.  If they run programs that try to drop privileges, dropping
privileges will still work.

It's worth noting that the degree of paranoia in this patch could
possibly be reduced without causing serious problems.  Specifically, if
we allowed pA to persist across executing non-pA-aware setuid binaries
and across setresuid, then, naively, the only capabilities that could
leak as a result would be the capabilities in pA, and any attacker
*already* has those capabilities.  This would make me nervous, though --
setuid binaries that tried to privilege-separate might fail to do so,
and putting CAP_DAC_READ_SEARCH or CAP_DAC_OVERRIDE into pA could have
unexpected side effects.  (Whether these unexpected side effects would
be exploitable is an open question.) I've therefore taken the more
paranoid route.  We can revisit this later.

An alternative would be to require PR_SET_NO_NEW_PRIVS before setting
ambient capabilities.  I think that this would be annoying and would
make granting otherwise unprivileged users minor ambient capabilities
(CAP_NET_BIND_SERVICE or CAP_NET_RAW for example) much less useful than
it is with this patch.

===== Footnotes =====

[1] Files that are missing the "security.capability" xattr or that have
unrecognized values for that xattr end up with has_cap set to false.
The code that does that appears to be complicated for no good reason.

[2] The libcap capability mask parsers and formatters are dangerously
misleading and the documentation is flat-out wrong.  fE is *not* a mask;
it's a single bit.  This has probably confused every single person who
has tried to use file capabilities.

[3] Linux very confusingly processes both the script and the interpreter
if applicable, for reasons that elude me.  The results from thinking
about a script's file capabilities and/or setuid bits are mostly
discarded.

Preliminary userspace code is here, but it needs updating:

9 years agomm: check if section present during memory block registering

mm: check if section present during memory block registering

Tony Luck found on his setup, if memory block size 512M will cause crash
during booting.

  BUG: unable to handle kernel paging request at ffffea0074000020

     ? pci_iommu_alloc+0x6e/0x6e
     topology_init+0x3c/0x95
     do_one_initcall+0xcd/0x1f0

The system has non continuous RAM address:
 BIOS-e820: [mem 0x0000001300000000-0x0000001cffffffff] usable
 BIOS-e820: [mem 0x0000001d70000000-0x0000001ec7ffefff] usable

So there are start sections in memory block not present.  For example:

    memory block : [0x2c18000000, 0x2c20000000) 512M

first three sections are not present.

The current register_mem_sect_under_node() assume first section is
present, but memory block section number range [start_section_nr,
end_section_nr] would include not present section.

For arch that support vmemmap, we don't setup memmap for struct page
area within not present sections area.

So skip the pfn range that belong to absent section.

9 years agomemory-hotplug: add hot-added memory ranges to memblock before allocate node_data...
Tang Chen [Fri, 4 Sep 2015 22:42:32 +0000 (15:42 -0700)]
memory-hotplug: add hot-added memory ranges to memblock before allocate node_data for a node.

Commit f9126ab9241f ("memory-hotplug: fix wrong edge when hot add a new
node") hot-added memory range to memblock, after creating pgdat for new
node.

But there is a problem:

  add_memory()
  |--> hotadd_new_pgdat()
       |--> free_area_init_node()
            |--> get_pfn_range_for_nid()
                 |--> find start_pfn and end_pfn in memblock
  |--> ......
  |--> memblock_add_node(start, size, nid)    --------    Here, just too late.

get_pfn_range_for_nid() will find that start_pfn and end_pfn are both 0.
As a result, when adding memory, dmesg will give the following wrong
message.

  Initmem setup node 5 [mem 0x0000000000000000-0xffffffffffffffff]
  On node 5 totalpages: 0
  Built 5 zonelists in Node order, mobility grouping on.  Total pages: 32588823
  Policy zone: Normal
  init_memory_mapping: [mem 0x60000000000-0x607ffffffff]

The solution is simple, just add the memory range to memblock a little
earlier, before hotadd_new_pgdat().

Merge tag 'pinctrl-v4.3-1' of git://git./linux/kernel/git/linusw/linux-pinctrl

Pull pin control updates from Linus Walleij:
 "This is the bulk of pin control changes for the v4.3 development
  cycle.

  Like with GPIO it's a lot of stuff.  If my subsystems are any sign of
  the overall tempo of the kernel v4.3 will be a gigantic diff.

[ It looks like 4.3 is calmer than 4.2 in most other subsystems, but
  we'll see - Linus ]

  Core changes:

   - It is possible configure groups in debugfs.

   - Consolidation of chained IRQ handler install/remove replacing all
     call sites where irq_set_handler_data() and
     irq_set_chained_handler() were done in succession with a combined
     call to irq_set_chained_handler_and_data().  This series was
     created by Thomas Gleixner after the problem was observed by
     Russell King.

   - Tglx also made another series of patches switching
     __irq_set_handler_locked() for irq_set_handler_locked() which is
     way cleaner.

   - Tglx also wrote a good bunch of patches to make use of
     irq_desc_get_xxx() accessors and avoid looking up irq_descs from
     IRQ numbers.  The goal is to get rid of the irq number from the
     handlers in the IRQ flow which is nice.

  Driver feature enhancements:

   - Power management support for the SiRF SoC Atlas 7.

   - Power down support for the Qualcomm driver.

   - Intel Cherryview and Baytrail: switch drivers to use raw spinlocks
     in IRQ handlers to play nice with the realtime patch set.

   - Rework and new modes handling for Qualcomm SPMI-MPP.

   - Pinconf power source config for SH PFC.

  New drivers and subdrivers:

   - A new driver for Conexant Digicolor CX92755.

   - A new driver for UniPhier PH1-LD4, PH1-Pro4, PH1-sLD8, PH1-Pro5,
     ProXtream2 and PH1-LD6b SoC pin control support.

   - Reverse-egineered the S/PDIF settings for the Allwinner sun4i
     driver.

   - Support for Qualcomm Technologies QDF2xxx ARM64 SoCs

   - A new Freescale i.mx6ul subdriver.

  Cleanup:

   - Remove platform data support in a number of SH PFC subdrivers"
