2017-02-27mm: add new mmgrab() helperVegard Nossum
Apart from adding the helper function itself, the rest of the kernel is converted mechanically using: git grep -l 'atomic_inc.*mm_count' | xargs sed -i 's/atomic_inc(&\(.*\)->mm_count);/mmgrab\(\1\);/' git grep -l 'atomic_inc.*mm_count' | xargs sed -i 's/atomic_inc(&\(.*\)\.mm_count);/mmgrab\(\&\1\);/' This is needed for a later patch that hooks into the helper, but might be a worthwhile cleanup on its own.

2017-02-13futex: Move futex_init() to core_initcallYang Yang
The UEVENT user mode helper is enabled before the initcalls are executed and is available when the root filesystem has been mounted. The user mode helper is triggered by device init calls and the executable might use the futex syscall. futex_init() is marked __initcall which maps to device_initcall, but there is no guarantee that futex_init() is invoked _before_ the first device init call which triggers the UEVENT user mode helper. If the user mode helper uses the futex syscall before futex_init() then the syscall crashes with a NULL pointer dereference because the futex subsystem has not been initialized yet. Move futex_init() to core_initcall so futexes are initialized before the root filesystem is mounted and the usermode helper becomes available.

2016-12-25ktime: Get rid of the unionThomas Gleixner
ktime is a union because the initial implementation stored the time in scalar nanoseconds on 64 bit machine and in a endianess optimized timespec variant for 32bit machines. The Y2038 cleanup removed the timespec variant and switched everything to scalar nanoseconds. The union remained, but become completely pointless. Get rid of the union and just keep ktime_t as simple typedef of type s64. The conversion was done with coccinelle and some manual mopping up.

2016-07-29futex: Assume all mappings are private on !MMU systemsThomas Gleixner
To quote Rick why there is no need for shared mapping on !MMU systems: |With MMU, shared futex keys need to identify the physical backing for |a memory address because it may be mapped at different addresses in |different processes (or even multiple times in the same process). |Without MMU this cannot happen.

2016-06-08futex: Calculate the futex key based on a tail page for file-based futexesMel Gorman
Mike Galbraith reported that the LTP test case futex_wake04 was broken by commit 65d8fc777f6d ("futex: Remove requirement for lock_page() in get_futex_key()"). This test case uses futexes backed by hugetlbfs pages and so there is an associated inode with a futex stored on such pages. The problem is that the key is being calculated based on the head page index of the hugetlbfs page and not the tail page. Prior to the optimisation, the page lock was used to stabilise mappings and pin the inode is file-backed which is overkill. If the page was a compound page, the head page was automatically looked up as part of the page lock operation but the tail page index was used to calculate the futex key. After the optimisation, the compound head is looked up early and the page lock is only relied upon to identify truncated pages, special pages or a shmem page moving to swapcache. The head page is looked up because without the page lock, special care has to be taken to pin the inode correctly. However, the tail page is still required to calculate the futex key so this patch records the tail page. On vanilla 4.6, the output of the test case is; futex_wake04 0 TINFO : Hugepagesize 2097152 futex_wake04 1 TFAIL : futex_wake04.c:126: Bug: wait_thread2 did not wake after 30 secs.

2016-05-22x86: remove more uaccess_32.h complexityLinus Torvalds
I'm looking at trying to possibly merge the 32-bit and 64-bit versions of the x86 uaccess.h implementation, but first this needs to be cleaned up. For example, the 32-bit version of "__copy_from_user_inatomic()" is mostly the special cases for the constant size, and it's actually almost never relevant. Most users aren't actually using a constant size anyway, and the few cases that do small constant copies are better off just using __get_user() instead. So get rid of the unnecessary complexity.

2016-04-20futex: Handle unlock_pi race gracefullySebastian Andrzej Siewior
If userspace calls UNLOCK_PI unconditionally without trying the TID -> 0 transition in user space first then the user space value might not have the waiters bit set. This opens the following race: CPU0 CPU1 uval = get_user(futex) lock(hb) lock(hb) futex |= FUTEX_WAITERS .... unlock(hb) cmpxchg(futex, uval, newval) So the cmpxchg fails and returns -EINVAL to user space, which is wrong because the futex value is valid. To handle this (yes, yet another) corner case gracefully, check for a flag change and retry.

2016-03-08futex: Replace barrier() in unqueue_me() with READ_ONCE()Jianyu Zhan
Commit e91467ecd1ef ("bug in futex unqueue_me") introduced a barrier() in unqueue_me() to prevent the compiler from rereading the lock pointer which might change after a check for NULL. Replace the barrier() with a READ_ONCE() for the following reasons: 1) READ_ONCE() is a weaker form of barrier() that affects only the specific load operation, while barrier() is a general compiler level memory barrier. READ_ONCE() was not available at the time when the barrier was added. 2) Aside of that READ_ONCE() is descriptive and self explainatory while a barrier without comment is not clear to the casual reader.

2016-02-17futex: Remove requirement for lock_page() in get_futex_key()Mel Gorman
When dealing with key handling for shared futexes, we can drastically reduce the usage/need of the page lock. 1) For anonymous pages, the associated futex object is the mm_struct which does not require the page lock. 2) For inode based, keys, we can check under RCU read lock if the page mapping is still valid and take reference to the inode. This just leaves one rare race that requires the page lock in the slow path when examining the swapcache. Additionally realtime users currently have a problem with the page lock being contended for unbounded periods of time during futex operations. Task A get_futex_key() lock_page() ---> preempted Now any other task trying to lock that page will have to wait until task A gets scheduled back in, which is an unbound time. With this patch, we pretty much have a lockless futex_get_key(). Experiments show that this patch can boost/speedup the hashing of shared futexes with the perf futex benchmarks (which is good for measuring such change) by up to 45% when there are high (> 100) thread counts on a 60 core Westmere. Lower counts are pretty much in the noise range or less than 10%, but mid range can be seen at over 30% overall throughput (hash ops/sec). This makes anon-mem shared futexes much closer to its private counterpart.

2016-01-26rtmutex: Make wait_lock irq safeThomas Gleixner
Sasha reported a lockdep splat about a potential deadlock between RCU boosting rtmutex and the posix timer it_lock. CPU0 CPU1 rtmutex_lock(&rcu->rt_mutex) spin_lock(&rcu->rt_mutex.wait_lock) local_irq_disable() spin_lock(&timer->it_lock) spin_lock(&rcu->mutex.wait_lock) --> Interrupt spin_lock(&timer->it_lock) This is caused by the following code sequence on CPU1 rcu_read_lock() x = lookup(); if (x) spin_lock_irqsave(&x->it_lock); rcu_read_unlock(); return x; We could fix that in the posix timer code by keeping rcu read locked across the spinlocked and irq disabled section, but the above sequence is common and there is no reason not to support it.

2016-01-20ptrace: use fsuid, fsgid, effective creds for fs access checksJann Horn
By checking the effective credentials instead of the real UID / permitted capabilities, ensure that the calling process actually intended to use its credentials. To ensure that all ptrace checks use the correct caller credentials (e.g. in case out-of-tree code or newly added code omits the PTRACE_MODE_*CREDS flag), use two new flags and require one of them to be set. The problem was that when a privileged task had temporarily dropped its privileges, e.g. by calling setreuid(0, user_uid), with the intent to perform following syscalls with the credentials of a user, it still passed ptrace access checks that the user would not be able to pass. While an attacker should not be able to convince the privileged task to perform a ptrace() syscall, this is a problem because the ptrace access check is reused for things in procfs. In particular, the following somewhat interesting procfs entries only rely on ptrace access checks: /proc/$pid/stat - uses the check for determining whether pointers should be visible, useful for bypassing ASLR /proc/$pid/maps - also useful for bypassing ASLR /proc/$pid/cwd - useful for gaining access to restricted directories that contain files with lax permissions, e.g. in this scenario: lrwxrwxrwx root root /proc/13020/cwd -> /root/foobar drwx------ root root /root drwxr-xr-x root root /root/foobar -rw-r--r-- root root /root/foobar/secret Therefore, on a system where a root-owned mode 6755 binary changes its effective credentials as described and then dumps a user-specified file, this could be used by an attacker to reveal the memory layout of root's processes or reveal the contents of files he is not allowed to access (through /proc/$pid/cwd).

2016-01-15mm: bring in additional flag for fixup_user_fault to signal unlockDominik Dingel
During Jason's work with postcopy migration support for s390 a problem regarding gmap faults was discovered. The gmap code will call fixup_user_fault which will end up always in handle_mm_fault. Till now we never cared about retries, but as the userfaultfd code kind of relies on it. this needs some fix. This patchset does not take care of the futex code. I will now look closer at this. This patch (of 2): With the introduction of userfaultfd, kvm on s390 needs fixup_user_fault to pass in FAULT_FLAG_ALLOW_RETRY and give feedback if during the faulting we ever unlocked mmap_sem. This patch brings in the logic to handle retries as well as it cleans up the current documentation. fixup_user_fault was not having the same semantics as filemap_fault. It never indicated if a retry happened and so a caller wasn't able to handle that case. So we now changed the behaviour to always retry a locked mmap_sem.

2015-12-20futex: Allow FUTEX_CLOCK_REALTIME with FUTEX_WAIT opDarren Hart
While reviewing Michael Kerrisk's recent futex manpage update, I noticed that we allow the FUTEX_CLOCK_REALTIME flag for FUTEX_WAIT_BITSET but not for FUTEX_WAIT. FUTEX_WAIT is treated as a simple version for FUTEX_WAIT_BITSET internally (with a bitmask of FUTEX_BITSET_MATCH_ANY). As such, I cannot come up with a reason for this exclusion for FUTEX_WAIT. This change does modify the behavior of the futex syscall, changing a call with FUTEX_WAIT | FUTEX_CLOCK_REALTIME from returning -ENOSYS, to be equivalent to FUTEX_WAIT_BITSET | FUTEX_CLOCK_REALTIME with a bitset of FUTEX_BITSET_MATCH_ANY.

Its a bit odd that debugfs_create_bool() takes 'u32 *' as an argument, when all it needs is a boolean pointer. It would be better to update this API to make it accept 'bool *' instead, as that will make it more consistent and often more convenient. Over that bool takes just a byte. That required updates to all user sites as well, in the same commit updating the API. regmap core was also using debugfs_{read|write}_file_bool(), directly and variable types were updated for that to be bool as well.

2015-09-22futex: Force hot variables into a single cache lineRasmus Villemoes
futex_hash() references two global variables: the base pointer futex_queues and the size of the array futex_hashsize. The latter is marked __read_mostly, while the former is not, so they are likely to end up very far from each other. This means that futex_hash() is likely to encounter two cache misses. We could mark futex_queues as __read_mostly as well, but that doesn't guarantee they'll end up next to each other (and even if they do, they may still end up in different cache lines). So put the two variables in a small singleton struct with sufficient alignment and mark that as __read_mostly.

2015-07-20futex: Fault/error injection capabilitiesDavidlohr Bueso
Although futexes are well known for being a royal pita, we really have very little debugging capabilities - except for relying on tglx's eye half the time. By simply making use of the existing fault-injection machinery, we can improve this situation, allowing generating artificial uaddress faults and deadlock scenarios. Of course, when this is disabled in production systems, the overhead for failure checks is practically zero -- so this is very cheap at the same time. Future work would be nice to now enhance trinity to make use of this. There is a special tunable 'ignore-private', which can filter out private futexes. Given the tsk->make_it_fail filter and this option, pi futexes can be narrowed down pretty closely.

2015-06-19futex: Lower the lock contention on the HB lock during wake upSebastian Andrzej Siewior
wake_futex_pi() wakes the task before releasing the hash bucket lock (HB). The first thing the woken up task usually does is to acquire the lock which requires the HB lock. On SMP Systems this leads to blocking on the HB lock which is released by the owner shortly after. This patch rearranges the unlock path by first releasing the HB lock and then waking up the task.

2015-05-08futex: Implement lockless wakeupsDavidlohr Bueso
Given the overall futex architecture, any chance of reducing hb->lock contention is welcome. In this particular case, using wake-queues to enable lockless wakeups addresses very much real world performance concerns, even cases of soft-lockups in cases of large amounts of blocked tasks (which is not hard to find in large boxes, using but just a handful of futex). At the lowest level, this patch can reduce latency of a single thread attempting to acquire hb->lock in highly contended scenarios by a up to 2x. At lower counts of nr_wake there are no regressions, confirming, of course, that the wake_q handling overhead is practically non existent. For instance, while a fair amount of variation, the extended pef-bench wakeup benchmark shows for a 20 core machine the following avg per-thread time to wakeup its share of tasks: nr_thr ms-before ms-after 16 0.0590 0.0215 32 0.0396 0.0220 48 0.0417 0.0182 64 0.0536 0.0236 80 0.0414 0.0097 96 0.0672 0.0152 Naturally, this can cause spurious wakeups. However there is no core code that cannot handle them afaict, and furthermore tglx does have the point that other events can already trigger them anyway.

2015-02-12all arches, signal: move restart_block to struct task_structAndy Lutomirski
If an attacker can cause a controlled kernel stack overflow, overwriting the restart block is a very juicy exploit target. This is because the restart_block is held in the same memory allocation as the kernel stack. Moving the restart block to struct task_struct prevents this exploit by making the restart_block harder to locate. Note that there are other fields in thread_info that are also easy targets, at least on some architectures. It's also a decent simplification, since the restart code is more or less identical on all architectures.

2015-01-19futex: Fix argument handling in futex_lock_pi() callsMichael Kerrisk
This patch fixes two separate buglets in calls to futex_lock_pi(): * Eliminate unused 'detect' argument * Change unused 'timeout' argument of FUTEX_TRYLOCK_PI to NULL The 'detect' argument of futex_lock_pi() seems never to have been used (when it was included with the initial PI mutex implementation in Linux 2.6.18, all checks against its value were disabled by ANDing against 0 (i.e., if (detect... && 0)), and with commit 778e9a9c3e7193ea9f434f382947155ffb59c755, any mention of this argument in futex_lock_pi() went way altogether. Its presence now serves only to confuse readers of the code, by giving the impression that the futex() FUTEX_LOCK_PI operation actually does use the 'val' argument. This patch removes the argument. The futex_lock_pi() call that corresponds to FUTEX_TRYLOCK_PI includes 'timeout' as one of its arguments. This misleads the reader into thinking that the FUTEX_TRYLOCK_PI operation does employ timeouts for some sensible purpose; but it does not. Indeed, it cannot, because the checks at the start of sys_futex() exclude FUTEX_TRYLOCK_PI from the set of operations that do copy_from_user() on the timeout argument. So, in the FUTEX_TRYLOCK_PI futex_lock_pi() call it would be simplest to change 'timeout' to 'NULL'. This patch does that.

2014-10-26futex: Fix a race condition between REQUEUE_PI and task deathBrian Silverman
free_pi_state and exit_pi_state_list both clean up futex_pi_state's. exit_pi_state_list takes the hb lock first, and most callers of free_pi_state do too. requeue_pi doesn't, which means free_pi_state can free the pi_state out from under exit_pi_state_list. For example: task A | task B exit_pi_state_list | pi_state = | curr->pi_state_list->next | | futex_requeue(requeue_pi=1) | // pi_state is the same as | // the one in task A | free_pi_state(pi_state) | list_del_init(&pi_state->list) | kfree(pi_state) list_del_init(&pi_state->list) | Move the free_pi_state calls in requeue_pi to before it drops the hb locks which it's already holding.

2014-10-18futex: Ensure get_futex_key_refs() always implies a barrierCatalin Marinas
Commit b0c29f79ecea (futexes: Avoid taking the hb->lock if there's nothing to wake up) changes the futex code to avoid taking a lock when there are no waiters. This code has been subsequently fixed in commit 11d4616bd07f (futex: revert back to the explicit waiter counting code). Both the original commit and the fix-up rely on get_futex_key_refs() to always imply a barrier. However, for private futexes, none of the cases in the switch statement of get_futex_key_refs() would be hit and the function completes without a memory barrier as required before checking the "waiters" in futex_wake() -> hb_waiters_pending(). The consequence is a race with a thread waiting on a futex on another CPU, allowing the waker thread to read "waiters == 0" while the waiter thread to have read "futex_val == locked" (in kernel). Without this fix, the problem (user space deadlocks) can be seen with Android bionic's mutex implementation on an arm64 multi-cluster system.

Now the sanity check after this does: if (match_futex(&q.key, &key2)) { ret = -EINVAL; goto out_put_keys; } which releases the keys but does not release hb->lock. So we happily return to user space with hb->lock held and therefor preemption disabled. Unlock hb->lock before taking the exit route.

2014-06-21futex: Simplify futex_lock_pi_atomic() and make it more robustThomas Gleixner
futex_lock_pi_atomic() is a maze of retry hoops and loops. Reduce it to simple and understandable states: First step is to lookup existing waiters (state) in the kernel. If there is an existing waiter, validate it and attach to it. If there is no existing waiter, check the user space value If the TID encoded in the user space value is 0, take over the futex preserving the owner died bit. If the TID encoded in the user space value is != 0, lookup the owner task, validate it and attach to it. Reduces text size by 128 bytes on x8664.

2014-06-21futex: Split out the first waiter attachment from lookup_pi_state()Thomas Gleixner
We want to be a bit more clever in futex_lock_pi_atomic() and separate the possible states. Split out the code which attaches the first waiter to the owner into a separate function. No functional change.
