It is very straight forward and can limit the abosolute numbers of common rdma constructs used by different cgroups. - kernel/cgroup.c got too chubby and disorganized. Created kernel/cgroup/ subdirectory and moved all cgroup related files under kernel/ there and reorganized the core code. This hurts for backporting patches but was long overdue. - cgroup v2 process listing reimplemented so that it no longer depends on allocating a buffer large enough to cache the entire result to sort and uniq the output. v2 has always mangled the sort order to ensure that users don't depend on the sorted output, so this shouldn't surprise anybody. This makes the pid listing functions use the same iterators that are used internally, which have to have the same iterating capabilities anyway. - perf cgroup filtering now works automatically on cgroup v2.

2017-02-22slub: make sysfs directories for memcg sub-caches optionalTejun Heo
SLUB creates a per-cache directory under /sys/kernel/slab which hosts a bunch of debug files. Usually, there aren't that many caches on a system and this doesn't really matter; however, if memcg is in use, each cache can have per-cgroup sub-caches. SLUB creates the same directories for these sub-caches under /sys/kernel/slab/$CACHE/cgroup. Unfortunately, because there can be a lot of cgroups, active or draining, the product of the numbers of caches, cgroups and files in each directory can reach a very high number - hundreds of thousands is commonplace. Millions and beyond aren't difficult to reach either. What's under /sys/kernel/slab is primarily for debugging and the information and control on the a root cache already cover its sub-caches. While having a separate directory for each sub-cache can be helpful for development, it doesn't make much sense to pay this amount of overhead by default. This patch introduces a boot parameter slub_memcg_sysfs which determines whether to create sysfs directories for per-memcg sub-caches. It also adds CONFIG_SLUB_MEMCG_SYSFS_ON which determines the boot parameter's default value and defaults to 0.

2017-02-03kbuild: modversions: add infrastructure for emitting relative CRCsArd Biesheuvel
This add the kbuild infrastructure that will allow architectures to emit vmlinux symbol CRCs as 32-bit offsets to another location in the kernel where the actual value is stored. This works around problems with CRCs being mistaken for relocatable symbols on kernels that self relocate at runtime (i.e., powerpc with CONFIG_RELOCATABLE=y) For the kbuild side of things, this comes down to the following: - introducing a Kconfig symbol MODULE_REL_CRCS - adding a -R switch to genksyms to instruct it to emit the CRC symbols as references into the .rodata section - making modpost distinguish such references from absolute CRC symbols by the section index (SHN_ABS) - making kallsyms disregard non-absolute symbols with a __crc_ prefix Signed-off-by: Ard Biesheuvel <ard.biesheuvel@linaro.org> Signed-off-by: Linus Torvalds <torvalds@linux-foundation.org>

2017-01-16rcu: update: Make RCU_EXPEDITE_BOOT be the defaultSebastian Andrzej Siewior
RCU_EXPEDITE_BOOT should speed up the boot process by enforcing synchronize_rcu_expedited() instead of synchronize_rcu() during the boot process. There should be no reason why one does not want this and there is no need worry about real time latency at this point. Therefore make it default. Note that users wishing to avoid expediting entirely, for example when bringing up new hardware possibly having flaky IPIs, can use the rcu_normal boot parameter to override boot-time expediting.

2017-01-10rdmacg: Added rdma cgroup controllerParav Pandit
Added rdma cgroup controller that does accounting, limit enforcement on rdma/IB resources. Added rdma cgroup header file which defines its APIs to perform charging/uncharging functionality. It also defined APIs for RDMA/IB stack for device registration. Devices which are registered will participate in controller functions of accounting and limit enforcements. It define rdmacg_device structure to bind IB stack and RDMA cgroup controller. RDMA resources are tracked using resource pool. Resource pool is per device, per cgroup entity which allows setting up accounting limits on per device basis. Currently resources are defined by the RDMA cgroup. Resource pool is created/destroyed dynamically whenever charging/uncharging occurs respectively and whenever user configuration is done. Its a tradeoff of memory vs little more code space that creates resource pool object whenever necessary, instead of creating them during cgroup creation and device registration time.

Couple conflicts resolved here: 1) In the MACB driver, a bug fix to properly initialize the RX tail pointer properly overlapped with some changes to support variable sized rings. 2) In XGBE we had a "CONFIG_PM" --> "CONFIG_PM_SLEEP" fix overlapping with a reorganization of the driver to support ACPI, OF, as well as PCI variants of the chip. 3) In 'net' we had several probe error path bug fixes to the stmmac driver, meanwhile a lot of this code was cleaned up and reorganized in 'net-next'. 4) The cls_flower classifier obtained a helper function in 'net-next' called __fl_delete() and this overlapped with Daniel Borkamann's bug fix to use RCU for object destruction in 'net'. It also overlapped with Jiri's change to guard the rhashtable_remove_fast() call with a check against tc_skip_sw(). 5) In mlx4, a revert bug fix in 'net' overlapped with some unrelated changes in 'net-next'. 6) In geneve, a stale header pointer after pskb_expand_head() bug fix in 'net' overlapped with a large reorganization of the same code in 'net-next'.

2016-11-29Re-enable CONFIG_MODVERSIONS in a slightly weaker formLinus Torvalds
This enables CONFIG_MODVERSIONS again, but allows for missing symbol CRC information in order to work around the issue that newer binutils versions seem to occasionally drop the CRC on the floor. binutils 2.26 seems to work fine, while binutils 2.27 seems to break MODVERSIONS of symbols that have been defined in assembler files. [ We've had random missing CRC's before - it may be an old problem that just is now reliably triggered with the weak asm symbols and a new version of binutils ] Some day I really do want to remove MODVERSIONS entirely. Sadly, today does not appear to be that day: Debian people apparently do want the option to enable MODVERSIONS to make it easier to have external modules across kernel versions, and this seems to be a fairly minimal fix for the annoying problem.

2016-11-25cgroup: add support for eBPF programsDaniel Mack
This patch adds two sets of eBPF program pointers to struct cgroup. One for such that are directly pinned to a cgroup, and one for such that are effective for it. To illustrate the logic behind that, assume the following example cgroup hierarchy. A - B - C \ D - E If only B has a program attached, it will be effective for B, C, D and E. If D then attaches a program itself, that will be effective for both D and E, and the program in B will only affect B and C. Only one program of a given type is effective for a cgroup. Attaching and detaching programs will be done through the bpf(2) syscall. For now, ingress and egress inet socket filtering are the only supported use-cases.

Some embedded systems have no use for them. This removes about 25KB from the kernel binary size when configured out. Corresponding syscalls are routed to a stub logging the attempt to use those syscalls which should be enough of a clue if they were disabled without proper consideration. They are: timer_create, timer_gettime: timer_getoverrun, timer_settime, timer_delete, clock_adjtime, setitimer, getitimer, alarm. The clock_settime, clock_gettime, clock_getres and clock_nanosleep syscalls are replaced by simple wrappers compatible with CLOCK_REALTIME, CLOCK_MONOTONIC and CLOCK_BOOTTIME only which should cover the vast majority of use cases with very little code.

Relay avoids calling wake_up_interruptible() for doing the wakeup of readers/consumers, waiting for the generation of new data, from the context of a process which produced the data. This is apparently done to prevent the possibility of a deadlock in case Scheduler itself is is generating data for the relay, after acquiring rq->lock. The following patch used a timer (to be scheduled at next jiffy), for delegating the wakeup to another context. commit 7c9cb38302e78d24e37f7d8a2ea7eed4ae5f2fa7 Author: Tom Zanussi <zanussi@comcast.net> Date: Wed May 9 02:34:01 2007 -0700 relay: use plain timer instead of delayed work relay doesn't need to use schedule_delayed_work() for waking readers when a simple timer will do. Scheduling a plain timer, at next jiffies boundary, to do the wakeup causes a significant wakeup latency for the Userspace client, which makes relay less suitable for the high-frequency low-payload use cases where the data gets generated at a very high rate, like multiple sub buffers getting filled within a milli second. Moreover the timer is re-scheduled on every newly produced sub buffer so the timer keeps getting pushed out if sub buffers are filled in a very quick succession (less than a jiffy gap between filling of 2 sub buffers). As a result relay runs out of sub buffers to store the new data. By using irq_work it is ensured that wakeup of userspace client, blocked in the poll call, is done at earliest (through self IPI or next timer tick) enabling it to always consume the data in time. Also this makes relay consistent with printk & ring buffers (trace), as they too use irq_work for deferred wake up of readers.

2016-08-02init/Kconfig: ban CONFIG_LOCALVERSION_AUTO with allmodconfigAlexey Dobriyan
Doing patches with allmodconfig kernel compiled and committing stuff into local tree have unfortunate consequence: kernel version changes (as it should) leading to recompiling and relinking of several files even if they weren't touched (or interesting at all). This and "git-whatever" figuring out current version slow down compilation for no good reason. But lets face it, "allmodconfig" kernels don't care about kernel version, they are simply compile check guinea pigs. Make LOCALVERSION_AUTO depend on !COMPILE_TEST, so it doesn't sneak into allmodconfig .config.

2016-08-02init/Kconfig: make COMPILE_TEST depend on !UMLRichard Weinberger
UML is a bit special since it does not have iomem nor dma. That means a lot of drivers will not build if they miss a dependency on HAS_IOMEM. s390 used to have the same issues but since it gained PCI support UML is the only stranger. We are tired of patching dozens of new drivers after every merge window just to un-break allmod/yesconfig UML builds. One could argue that a decent driver has to know on what it depends and therefore a missing HAS_IOMEM dependency is a clear driver bug. But the dependency not obvious and not everyone does UML builds with COMPILE_TEST enabled when developing a device driver. A possible solution to make these builds succeed on UML would be providing stub functions for ioremap() and friends which fail upon runtime. Another one is simply disabling COMPILE_TEST for UML. Since it is the least hassle and does not force use to fake iomem support let's do the latter.

2016-07-26mm: SLUB freelist randomizationThomas Garnier
Implements freelist randomization for the SLUB allocator. It was previous implemented for the SLAB allocator. Both use the same configuration option (CONFIG_SLAB_FREELIST_RANDOM). The list is randomized during initialization of a new set of pages. The order on different freelist sizes is pre-computed at boot for performance. Each kmem_cache has its own randomized freelist. This security feature reduces the predictability of the kernel SLUB allocator against heap overflows rendering attacks much less stable. For example these attacks exploit the predictability of the heap: - Linux Kernel CAN SLUB overflow (https://goo.gl/oMNWkU) - Exploiting Linux Kernel Heap corruptions (http://goo.gl/EXLn95) Performance results: slab_test impact is between 3% to 4% on average for 100000 attempts without smp.

The CONFIG_VIRT_CPU_ACCOUNTING_GEN irq time tracking code does not appear to currently work right. On CPUs without nohz_full=, only tick based irq time sampling is done, which breaks down when dealing with a nohz_idle CPU. On firewalls and similar systems, no ticks may happen on a CPU for a while, and the irq time spent may never get accounted properly. This can cause issues with capacity planning and power saving, which use the CPU statistics as inputs in decision making.

Testing has shown that the backtrace sometimes does not fit into the 4kB temporary buffer that is used in NMI context. The warnings are gone when I double the temporary buffer size. This patch doubles the buffer size and makes it configurable. Note that this problem existed even in the x86-specific implementation that was added by the commit a9edc8809328 ("x86/nmi: Perform a safe NMI stack trace on all CPUs"). Nobody noticed it because it did not print any warnings.

2016-05-20printk/nmi: generic solution for safe printk in NMIPetr Mladek
printk() takes some locks and could not be used a safe way in NMI context. The chance of a deadlock is real especially when printing stacks from all CPUs. This particular problem has been addressed on x86 by the commit a9edc8809328 ("x86/nmi: Perform a safe NMI stack trace on all CPUs"). The patchset brings two big advantages. First, it makes the NMI backtraces safe on all architectures for free. Second, it makes all NMI messages almost safe on all architectures (the temporary buffer is limited. We still should keep the number of messages in NMI context at minimum). Note that there already are several messages printed in NMI context: WARN_ON(in_nmi()), BUG_ON(in_nmi()), anything being printed out from MCE handlers. These are not easy to avoid. This patch reuses most of the code and makes it generic. It is useful for all messages and architectures that support NMI. The alternative printk_func is set when entering and is reseted when leaving NMI context. It queues IRQ work to copy the messages into the main ring buffer in a safe context. __printk_nmi_flush() copies all available messages and reset the buffer. Then we could use a simple cmpxchg operations to get synchronized with writers. There is also used a spinlock to get synchronized with other flushers. We do not longer use seq_buf because it depends on external lock. It would be hard to make all supported operations safe for a lockless use. It would be confusing and error prone to make only some operations safe. The code is put into separate printk/nmi.c as suggested by Steven Rostedt. It needs a per-CPU buffer and is compiled only on architectures that call nmi_enter(). This is achieved by the new HAVE_NMI Kconfig flag. The are MN10300 and Xtensa architectures. We need to clean up NMI handling there first. Let's do it separately. The patch is heavily based on the draft from Peter Zijlstra, see https://lkml.org/lkml/2015/6/10/327 [arnd@arndb.de: printk-nmi: use %zu format string for size_t] [akpm@linux-foundation.org: min_t->min - all types are size_t here] Signed-off-by: Petr Mladek <pmladek@suse.com> Suggested-by: Peter Zijlstra <peterz@infradead.org> Suggested-by: Steven Rostedt <rostedt@goodmis.org> Cc: Jan Kara <jack@suse.cz> Acked-by: Russell King <rmk+kernel@arm.linux.org.uk> [arm part] Cc: Daniel Thompson <daniel.thompson@linaro.org> Cc: Jiri Kosina <jkosina@suse.com> Cc: Ingo Molnar <mingo@redhat.com> Cc: Thomas Gleixner <tglx@linutronix.de> Cc: Ralf Baechle <ralf@linux-mips.org> Cc: Benjamin Herrenschmidt <benh@kernel.crashing.org> Cc: Martin Schwidefsky <schwidefsky@de.ibm.com> Cc: David Miller <davem@davemloft.net> Cc: Daniel Thompson <daniel.thompson@linaro.org> Signed-off-by: Andrew Morton <akpm@linux-foundation.org> Signed-off-by: Linus Torvalds <torvalds@linux-foundation.org>
2016-05-19mm: SLAB freelist randomizationThomas Garnier
Provides an optional config (CONFIG_SLAB_FREELIST_RANDOM) to randomize the SLAB freelist. The list is randomized during initialization of a new set of pages. The order on different freelist sizes is pre-computed at boot for performance. Each kmem_cache has its own randomized freelist. Before pre-computed lists are available freelists are generated dynamically. This security feature reduces the predictability of the kernel SLAB allocator against heap overflows rendering attacks much less stable. For example this attack against SLUB (also applicable against SLAB) would be affected: https://jon.oberheide.org/blog/2010/09/10/linux-kernel-can-slub-overflow/ Also, since v4.6 the freelist was moved at the end of the SLAB. It means a controllable heap is opened to new attacks not yet publicly discussed. A kernel heap overflow can be transformed to multiple use-after-free. This feature makes this type of attack harder too. To generate entropy, we use get_random_bytes_arch because 0 bits of entropy is available in the boot stage. In the worse case this function will fallback to the get_random_bytes sub API. We also generate a shift random number to shift pre-computed freelist for each new set of pages. The config option name is not specific to the SLAB as this approach will be extended to other allocators like SLUB. Performance results highlighted no major changes: Hackbench (running 90 10 times): Before average: 0.0698 After average: 0.0663 (-5.01%) slab_test 1 run on boot. Difference only seen on the 2048 size test being the worse case scenario covered by freelist randomization. New slab pages are constantly being created on the 10000 allocations. Variance should be mainly due to getting new pages every few allocations. Before: Single thread testing ===================== 1.
