2021-06-22clocksource: Provide kernel module to test clocksource watchdogPaul E. McKenney
When the clocksource watchdog marks a clock as unstable, this might be due to that clock being unstable or it might be due to delays that happen to occur between the reads of the two clocks. It would be good to have a way of testing the clocksource watchdog's ability to distinguish between these two causes of clock skew and instability. Therefore, provide a new clocksource-wdtest module selected by a new TEST_CLOCKSOURCE_WATCHDOG Kconfig option. This module has a single module parameter named "holdoff" that provides the number of seconds of delay before testing should start, which defaults to zero when built as a module and to 10 seconds when built directly into the kernel. Very large systems that boot slowly may need to increase the value of this module parameter. This module uses hand-crafted clocksource structures to do its testing, thus avoiding messing up timing for the rest of the kernel and for user applications. This module first verifies that the ->uncertainty_margin field of the clocksource structures are set sanely. It then tests the delay-detection capability of the clocksource watchdog, increasing the number of consecutive delays injected, first provoking console messages complaining about the delays and finally forcing a clock-skew event. Unexpected test results cause at least one WARN_ON_ONCE() console splat. If there are no splats, the test has passed. Finally, it fuzzes the value returned from a clocksource to test the clocksource watchdog's ability to detect time skew. This module checks the state of its clocksource after each test, and uses WARN_ON_ONCE() to emit a console splat if there are any failures. This should enable all types of test frameworks to detect any such failures. This facility is intended for diagnostic use only, and should be avoided on production systems.

2021-06-22clocksource: Limit number of CPUs checked for clock synchronizationPaul E. McKenney
Currently, if skew is detected on a clock marked CLOCK_SOURCE_VERIFY_PERCPU, that clock is checked on all CPUs. This is thorough, but might not be what you want on a system with a few tens of CPUs, let alone a few hundred of them. Therefore, by default check only up to eight randomly chosen CPUs. Also provide a new clocksource.verify_n_cpus kernel boot parameter. A value of -1 says to check all of the CPUs, and a non-negative value says to randomly select that number of CPUs, without concern about selecting the same CPU multiple times. However, make use of a cpumask so that a given CPU will be checked at most once. Suggested-by: Thomas Gleixner <tglx@linutronix.de> # For verify_n_cpus=1. Signed-off-by: Paul E.

2021-06-22clocksource: Retry clock read if long delays detectedPaul E. McKenney
When the clocksource watchdog marks a clock as unstable, this might be due to that clock being unstable or it might be due to delays that happen to occur between the reads of the two clocks. Yes, interrupts are disabled across those two reads, but there are no shortage of things that can delay interrupts-disabled regions of code ranging from SMI handlers to vCPU preemption. It would be good to have some indication as to why the clock was marked unstable. Therefore, re-read the watchdog clock on either side of the read from the clock under test. If the watchdog clock shows an excessive time delta between its pair of reads, the reads are retried. The maximum number of retries is specified by a new kernel boot parameter clocksource.max_cswd_read_retries, which defaults to three, that is, up to four reads, one initial and up to three retries. If more than one retry was required, a message is printed on the console (the occasional single retry is expected behavior, especially in guest OSes). If the maximum number of retries is exceeded, the clock under test will be marked unstable. However, the probability of this happening due to various sorts of delays is quite small. In addition, the reason (clock-read delays) for the unstable marking will be apparent. Reported-by: Chris Mason <clm@fb.com> Signed-off-by: Paul E.

2021-06-08cgroup: make per-cgroup pressure stall tracking configurableSuren Baghdasaryan
PSI accounts stalls for each cgroup separately and aggregates it at each level of the hierarchy. This causes additional overhead with psi_avgs_work being called for each cgroup in the hierarchy. psi_avgs_work has been highly optimized, however on systems with large number of cgroups the overhead becomes noticeable. Systems which use PSI only at the system level could avoid this overhead if PSI can be configured to skip per-cgroup stall accounting. Add "cgroup_disable=pressure" kernel command-line option to allow requesting system-wide only pressure stall accounting. When set, it keeps system-wide accounting under /proc/pressure/ but skips accounting for individual cgroups and does not expose PSI nodes in cgroup hierarchy.

2021-05-07init/initramfs.c: do unpacking asynchronouslyRasmus Villemoes
Patch series "background initramfs unpacking, and CONFIG_MODPROBE_PATH", v3. These two patches are independent, but better-together. The second is a rather trivial patch that simply allows the developer to change "/sbin/modprobe" to something else - e.g. the empty string, so that all request_module() during early boot return -ENOENT early, without even spawning a usermode helper, needlessly synchronizing with the initramfs unpacking. The first patch delegates decompressing the initramfs to a worker thread, allowing do_initcalls() in main.c to proceed to the device_ and late_ initcalls without waiting for that decompression (and populating of rootfs) to finish. Obviously, some of those later calls may rely on the initramfs being available, so I've added synchronization points in the firmware loader and usermodehelper paths - there might be other places that would need this, but so far no one has been able to think of any places I have missed. There's not much to win if most of the functionality needed during boot is only available as modules. But systems with a custom-made .config and initramfs can boot faster, partly due to utilizing more than one cpu earlier, partly by avoiding known-futile modprobe calls (which would still trigger synchronization with the initramfs unpacking, thus eliminating most of the first benefit). This patch (of 2): Most of the boot process doesn't actually need anything from the initramfs, until of course PID1 is to be executed. So instead of doing the decompressing and populating of the initramfs synchronously in populate_rootfs() itself, push that off to a worker thread. This is primarily motivated by an embedded ppc target, where unpacking even the rather modest sized initramfs takes 0.6 seconds, which is long enough that the external watchdog becomes unhappy that it doesn't get attention soon enough. By doing the initramfs decompression in a worker thread, we get to do the device_initcalls and hence start petting the watchdog much sooner. Normal desktops might benefit as well. On my mostly stock Ubuntu kernel, my initramfs is a 26M xz-compressed blob, decompressing to around 126M. That takes almost two seconds: [ 0.201454] Trying to unpack rootfs image as initramfs... [ 1.976633] Freeing initrd memory: 29416K Before this patch, these lines occur consecutively in dmesg. With this patch, the timestamps on these two lines is roughly the same as above, but with 172 lines inbetween - so more than one cpu has been kept busy doing work that would otherwise only happen after the populate_rootfs() finished. Should one of the initcalls done after rootfs_initcall time (i.e., device_ and late_ initcalls) need something from the initramfs (say, a kernel module or a firmware blob), it will simply wait for the initramfs unpacking to be done before proceeding, which should in theory make this completely safe. But if some driver pokes around in the filesystem directly and not via one of the official kernel interfaces (i.e. request_firmware*(), call_usermodehelper*) that theory may not hold - also, I certainly might have missed a spot when sprinkling wait_for_initramfs(). So there is an escape hatch in the form of an initramfs_async= command line parameter.

2021-05-05mm,memory_hotplug: add kernel boot option to enable memmap_on_memoryOscar Salvador
Self stored memmap leads to a sparse memory situation which is unsuitable for workloads that requires large contiguous memory chunks, so make this an opt-in which needs to be explicitly enabled. To control this, let memory_hotplug have its own memory space, as suggested by David, so we can add memory_hotplug.memmap_on_memory parameter.

This mostly affects the Freescale PAMU driver. - New IOMMU driver for Unisoc SOCs - ARM SMMU Updates from Will: - Drop vestigial PREFETCH_ADDR support (SMMUv3) - Elide TLB sync logic for empty gather (SMMUv3) - Fix "Service Failure Mode" handling (SMMUv3) - New Qualcomm compatible string (SMMUv2) - Removal of the AMD IOMMU performance counter writeable check on AMD. It caused long boot delays on some machines and is only needed to work around an errata on some older (possibly pre-production) chips. If someone is still hit by this hardware issue anyway the performance counters will just return 0. - Support for targeted invalidations in the AMD IOMMU driver. Before that the driver only invalidated a single 4k page or the whole IO/TLB for an address space. This has been extended now and is mostly useful for emulated AMD IOMMUs. - Several fixes for the Shared Virtual Memory support in the Intel VT-d driver - Mediatek drivers can now be built as modules - Re-introduction of the forcedac boot option which got lost when converting the Intel VT-d driver to the common dma-iommu implementation. - Extension of the IOMMU device registration interface and support iommu_ops to be const again when drivers are built as modules. * tag 'iommu-updates-v5.13' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/joro/iommu: (84 commits) iommu: Streamline registration interface iommu: Statically set module owner iommu/mediatek-v1: Add error handle for mtk_iommu_probe iommu/mediatek-v1: Avoid build fail when build as module iommu/mediatek: Always enable the clk on resume iommu/fsl-pamu: Fix uninitialized variable warning iommu/vt-d: Force to flush iotlb before creating superpage iommu/amd: Put newline after closing bracket in warning iommu/vt-d: Fix an error handling path in 'intel_prepare_irq_remapping()' iommu/vt-d: Fix build error of pasid_enable_wpe() with !X86 iommu/amd: Remove performance counter pre-initialization test Revert "iommu/amd: Fix performance counter initialization" iommu/amd: Remove duplicate check of devid iommu/exynos: Remove unneeded local variable initialization iommu/amd: Page-specific invalidations for more than one page iommu/arm-smmu-v3: Remove the unused fields for PREFETCH_CONFIG command iommu/vt-d: Avoid unnecessary cache flush in pasid entry teardown iommu/vt-d: Invalidate PASID cache when root/context entry changed iommu/vt-d: Remove WO permissions on second-level paging entries iommu/vt-d: Report the right page fault address ...

git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/tip/tip Pull entry code update from Thomas Gleixner: "Provide support for randomized stack offsets per syscall to make stack-based attacks harder which rely on the deterministic stack layout. The feature is based on the original idea of PaX's RANDSTACK feature, but uses a significantly different implementation. The offset does not affect the pt_regs location on the task stack as this was agreed on to be of dubious value. The offset is applied before the actual syscall is invoked. The offset is stored per cpu and the randomization happens at the end of the syscall which is less predictable than on syscall entry. The mechanism to apply the offset is via alloca(), i.e. abusing the dispised VLAs. This comes with the drawback that stack-clash-protection has to be disabled for the affected compilation units and there is also a negative interaction with stack-protector. Those downsides are traded with the advantage that this approach does not require any intrusive changes to the low level assembly entry code, does not affect the unwinder and the correct stack alignment is handled automatically by the compiler. The feature is guarded with a static branch which avoids the overhead when disabled.

2021-04-14KEYS: trusted: Add generic trusted keys frameworkSumit Garg
Current trusted keys framework is tightly coupled to use TPM device as an underlying implementation which makes it difficult for implementations like Trusted Execution Environment (TEE) etc. to provide trusted keys support in case platform doesn't posses a TPM device. Add a generic trusted keys framework where underlying implementations can be easily plugged in. Create struct trusted_key_ops to achieve this, which contains necessary functions of a backend. Also, define a module parameter in order to select a particular trust source in case a platform support multiple trust sources. In case its not specified then implementation itetrates through trust sources list starting with TPM and assign the first trust source as a backend which has initiazed successfully during iteration. Note that current implementation only supports a single trust source at runtime which is either selectable at compile time or during boot via aforementioned module parameter.

2021-04-08stack: Optionally randomize kernel stack offset each syscallKees Cook
This provides the ability for architectures to enable kernel stack base address offset randomization. This feature is controlled by the boot param "randomize_kstack_offset=on/off", with its default value set by CONFIG_RANDOMIZE_KSTACK_OFFSET_DEFAULT. This feature is based on the original idea from the last public release of PaX's RANDKSTACK feature: https://pax.grsecurity.net/docs/randkstack.txt All the credit for the original idea goes to the PaX team. Note that the design and implementation of this upstream randomize_kstack_offset feature differs greatly from the RANDKSTACK feature (see below). Reasoning for the feature: This feature aims to make harder the various stack-based attacks that rely on deterministic stack structure. We have had many such attacks in past (just to name few): https://jon.oberheide.org/files/infiltrate12-thestackisback.pdf https://jon.oberheide.org/files/stackjacking-infiltrate11.pdf https://googleprojectzero.blogspot.com/2016/06/exploiting-recursion-in-linux-kernel_20.html As Linux kernel stack protections have been constantly improving (vmap-based stack allocation with guard pages, removal of thread_info, STACKLEAK), attackers have had to find new ways for their exploits to work. They have done so, continuing to rely on the kernel's stack determinism, in situations where VMAP_STACK and THREAD_INFO_IN_TASK_STRUCT were not relevant. For example, the following recent attacks would have been hampered if the stack offset was non-deterministic between syscalls: https://repositorio-aberto.up.pt/bitstream/10216/125357/2/374717.pdf (page 70: targeting the pt_regs copy with linear stack overflow) https://a13xp0p0v.github.io/2020/02/15/CVE-2019-18683.html (leaked stack address from one syscall as a target during next syscall) The main idea is that since the stack offset is randomized on each system call, it is harder for an attack to reliably land in any particular place on the thread stack, even with address exposures, as the stack base will change on the next syscall. Also, since randomization is performed after placing pt_regs, the ptrace-based approach[1] to discover the randomized offset during a long-running syscall should not be possible. Design description: During most of the kernel's execution, it runs on the "thread stack", which is pretty deterministic in its structure: it is fixed in size, and on every entry from userspace to kernel on a syscall the thread stack starts construction from an address fetched from the per-cpu cpu_current_top_of_stack variable. The first element to be pushed to the thread stack is the pt_regs struct that stores all required CPU registers and syscall parameters. Finally the specific syscall function is called, with the stack being used as the kernel executes the resulting request. The goal of randomize_kstack_offset feature is to add a random offset after the pt_regs has been pushed to the stack and before the rest of the thread stack is used during the syscall processing, and to change it every time a process issues a syscall. The source of randomness is currently architecture-defined (but x86 is using the low byte of rdtsc()). Future improvements for different entropy sources is possible, but out of scope for this patch. Further more, to add more unpredictability, new offsets are chosen at the end of syscalls (the timing of which should be less easy to measure from userspace than at syscall entry time), and stored in a per-CPU variable, so that the life of the value does not stay explicitly tied to a single task. As suggested by Andy Lutomirski, the offset is added using alloca() and an empty asm() statement with an output constraint, since it avoids changes to assembly syscall entry code, to the unwinder, and provides correct stack alignment as defined by the compiler. In order to make this available by default with zero performance impact for those that don't want it, it is boot-time selectable with static branches. This way, if the overhead is not wanted, it can just be left turned off with no performance impact. The generated assembly for x86_64 with GCC looks like this: ... ffffffff81003977: 65 8b 05 02 ea 00 7f mov %gs:0x7f00ea02(%rip),%eax # 12380 <kstack_offset> ffffffff8100397e: 25 ff 03 00 00 and $0x3ff,%eax ffffffff81003983: 48 83 c0 0f add $0xf,%rax ffffffff81003987: 25 f8 07 00 00 and $0x7f8,%eax ffffffff8100398c: 48 29 c4 sub %rax,%rsp ffffffff8100398f: 48 8d 44 24 0f lea 0xf(%rsp),%rax ffffffff81003994: 48 83 e0 f0 and $0xfffffffffffffff0,%rax ... As a result of the above stack alignment, this patch introduces about 5 bits of randomness after pt_regs is spilled to the thread stack on x86_64, and 6 bits on x86_32 (since its has 1 fewer bit required for stack alignment). The amount of entropy could be adjusted based on how much of the stack space we wish to trade for security. My measure of syscall performance overhead (on x86_64): lmbench: /usr/lib/lmbench/bin/x86_64-linux-gnu/lat_syscall -N 10000 null randomize_kstack_offset=y Simple syscall: 0.7082 microseconds randomize_kstack_offset=n Simple syscall: 0.7016 microseconds So, roughly 0.9% overhead growth for a no-op syscall, which is very manageable. And for people that don't want this, it's off by default. There are two gotchas with using the alloca() trick. First, compilers that have Stack Clash protection (-fstack-clash-protection) enabled by default (e.g. Ubuntu[3]) add pagesize stack probes to any dynamic stack allocations. While the randomization offset is always less than a page, the resulting assembly would still contain (unreachable!) probing routines, bloating the resulting assembly. To avoid this, -fno-stack-clash-protection is unconditionally added to the kernel Makefile since this is the only dynamic stack allocation in the kernel (now that VLAs have been removed) and it is provably safe from Stack Clash style attacks. The second gotcha with alloca() is a negative interaction with -fstack-protector*, in that it sees the alloca() as an array allocation, which triggers the unconditional addition of the stack canary function pre/post-amble which slows down syscalls regardless of the static branch. In order to avoid adding this unneeded check and its associated performance impact, architectures need to carefully remove uses of -fstack-protector-strong (or -fstack-protector) in the compilation units that use the add_random_kstack() macro and to audit the resulting stack mitigation coverage (to make sure no desired coverage disappears). No change is visible for this on x86 because the stack protector is already unconditionally disabled for the compilation unit, but the change is required on arm64. There is, unfortunately, no attribute that can be used to disable stack protector for specific functions. Comparison to PaX RANDKSTACK feature: The RANDKSTACK feature randomizes the location of the stack start (cpu_current_top_of_stack), i.e. including the location of pt_regs structure itself on the stack. Initially this patch followed the same approach, but during the recent discussions[2], it has been determined to be of a little value since, if ptrace functionality is available for an attacker, they can use PTRACE_PEEKUSR/PTRACE_POKEUSR to read/write different offsets in the pt_regs struct, observe the cache behavior of the pt_regs accesses, and figure out the random stack offset. Another difference is that the random offset is stored in a per-cpu variable, rather than having it be per-thread. As a result, these implementations differ a fair bit in their implementation details and results, though obviously the intent is similar.
