Pull x86 asm updates from Ingo Molnar:
- Introduce the ORC unwinder, which can be enabled via
CONFIG_ORC_UNWINDER=y.
The ORC unwinder is a lightweight, Linux kernel specific debuginfo
implementation, which aims to be DWARF done right for unwinding.
Objtool is used to generate the ORC unwinder tables during build, so
the data format is flexible and kernel internal: there's no
dependency on debuginfo created by an external toolchain.
The ORC unwinder is almost two orders of magnitude faster than the
(out of tree) DWARF unwinder - which is important for perf call graph
profiling. It is also significantly simpler and is coded defensively:
there has not been a single ORC related kernel crash so far, even
with early versions. (knock on wood!)
But the main advantage is that enabling the ORC unwinder allows
CONFIG_FRAME_POINTERS to be turned off - which speeds up the kernel
measurably:
With frame pointers disabled, GCC does not have to add frame pointer
instrumentation code to every function in the kernel. The kernel's
.text size decreases by about 3.2%, resulting in better cache
utilization and fewer instructions executed, resulting in a broad
kernel-wide speedup. Average speedup of system calls should be
roughly in the 1-3% range - measurements by Mel Gorman [1] have shown
a speedup of 5-10% for some function execution intense workloads.
The main cost of the unwinder is that the unwinder data has to be
stored in RAM: the memory cost is 2-4MB of RAM, depending on kernel
config - which is a modest cost on modern x86 systems.
Given how young the ORC unwinder code is it's not enabled by default
- but given the performance advantages the plan is to eventually make
it the default unwinder on x86.
See Documentation/x86/orc-unwinder.txt for more details.
- Remove lguest support: its intended role was that of a temporary
proof of concept for virtualization, plus its removal will enable the
reduction (removal) of the paravirt API as well, so Rusty agreed to
its removal. (Juergen Gross)
- Clean up and fix FSGS related functionality (Andy Lutomirski)
- Clean up IO access APIs (Andy Shevchenko)
- Enhance the symbol namespace (Jiri Slaby)

Using sg_miter_start and sg_miter_next, the buffer of an SG is kmap'ed
to *buff. The current code calls sg_miter_stop (and thus kunmap) on the
SG entry before the last access of *buff.
The patch moves the sg_miter_stop call after the last access to *buff to
ensure that the memory pointed to by *buff is still mapped.

This was the competing idea long ago, but it was only with the rewrite
of the idr as an radixtree and using the radixtree directly ourselves,
along with the realisation that we can store the vma directly in the
radixtree and only need a list for the reverse mapping, that made the
patch performant enough to displace using a hashtable. Though the vma ht
is fast and doesn't require any extra allocation (as we can embed the node
inside the vma), it does require a thread for resizing and serialization
and will have the occasional slow lookup. That is hairy enough to
investigate alternatives and favour them if equivalent in peak performance.
One advantage of allocating an indirection entry is that we can support a
single shared bo between many clients, something that was done on a
first-come first-serve basis for shared GGTT vma previously. To offset
the extra allocations, we create yet another kmem_cache for them.

The hardlockup detector on x86 uses a performance counter based on unhalted
CPU cycles and a periodic hrtimer. The hrtimer period is about 2/5 of the
performance counter period, so the hrtimer should fire 2-3 times before the
performance counter NMI fires. The NMI code checks whether the hrtimer
fired since the last invocation. If not, it assumess a hard lockup.
The calculation of those periods is based on the nominal CPU
frequency. Turbo modes increase the CPU clock frequency and therefore
shorten the period of the perf/NMI watchdog. With extreme Turbo-modes (3x
nominal frequency) the perf/NMI period is shorter than the hrtimer period
which leads to false positives.
A simple fix would be to shorten the hrtimer period, but that comes with
the side effect of more frequent hrtimer and softlockup thread wakeups,
which is not desired.
Implement a low pass filter, which checks the perf/NMI period against
kernel time. If the perf/NMI fires before 4/5 of the watchdog period has
elapsed then the event is ignored and postponed to the next perf/NMI.
That solves the problem and avoids the overhead of shorter hrtimer periods
and more frequent softlockup thread wakeups.

The allocated debug objects are either on the free list or in the
hashed bucket lists. So they won't get lost. However if both debug
objects and kmemleak are enabled and kmemleak scanning is done
while some of the debug objects are transitioning from one list to
the others, false negative reporting of memory leaks may happen for
those objects. For example,

We accidentally just drop the lock twice instead of taking it and then
releasing it. This isn't a big issue unless you are adding more than
one device to test on, and the kmod.sh doesn't do that yet, however this

Parsing with kstrtol() enables values to be negative, and we failed to
check for negative values when parsing with test_dev_config_update_uint_sync()
or test_dev_config_update_uint_range().
test_dev_config_update_uint_range() has a minimum check though so an
issue is not present there. test_dev_config_update_uint_sync() is only
used for the number of threads to use (config_num_threads_store()), and
indeed this would fail with an attempt for a large allocation.
Although the issue is only present in practice with the first fix both
by using kstrtoul() instead of kstrtol().

A couple of Kconfig changes which make it much easier to switch to the
new CONFIG_ORC_UNWINDER:
1) Remove x86 dependencies on CONFIG_FRAME_POINTER for lockdep,
latencytop, and fault injection. x86 has a 'guess' unwinder which
just scans the stack for kernel text addresses. It's not 100%
accurate but in many cases it's good enough. This allows those users
who don't want the text overhead of the frame pointer or ORC
unwinders to still use these features. More importantly, this also
makes it much more straightforward to disable frame pointers.
2) Make CONFIG_ORC_UNWINDER depend on !CONFIG_FRAME_POINTER. While it
would be possible to have both enabled, it doesn't really make sense
to do so. So enforce a sane configuration to prevent the user from
making a dumb mistake.
With these changes, when you disable CONFIG_FRAME_POINTER, "make
oldconfig" will ask if you want to enable CONFIG_ORC_UNWINDER.

Add the new ORC unwinder which is enabled by CONFIG_ORC_UNWINDER=y.
It plugs into the existing x86 unwinder framework.
It relies on objtool to generate the needed .orc_unwind and
.orc_unwind_ip sections.
For more details on why ORC is used instead of DWARF, see
Documentation/x86/orc-unwinder.txt - but the short version is
that it's a simplified, fundamentally more robust debugninfo
data structure, which also allows up to two orders of magnitude
faster lookups than the DWARF unwinder - which matters to
profiling workloads like perf.
Thanks to Andy Lutomirski for the performance improvement ideas:
splitting the ORC unwind table into two parallel arrays and creating a
fast lookup table to search a subset of the unwind table.

During concurrent access testing, threadfunc() concatenated thread ID
and object index to create a unique key like so:
| tdata->objs[i].value = (tdata->id << 16) | i;
This breaks if a user passes an entries parameter of 64k or higher,
since 'i' might use more than 16 bits then. Effectively, this will lead
to duplicate keys in the table.
Fix the problem by introducing a struct holding object and thread ID and
using that as key instead of a single integer type field.

"Add wait_for_random_bytes() and get_random_*_wait() functions so that
callers can more safely get random bytes if they can block until the
CRNG is initialized.
Also print a warning if get_random_*() is called before the CRNG is

per boot. If CONFIG_WARN_ALL_UNSEEDED_RANDOM is defined, then a
warning will be printed for each function which tries to get random
bytes before the CRNG is initialized. This can get spammy for certain

Unfortunately, on some models of some architectures getting a fully
seeded CRNG is extremely difficult, and so this can result in dmesg
getting spammed for a surprisingly long time. This is really bad from
a security perspective, and so architecture maintainers really need to
do what they can to get the CRNG seeded sooner after the system is
booted. However, users can't do anything actionble to address this,
and spamming the kernel messages log will only just annoy people.
For developers who want to work on improving this situation,
CONFIG_WARN_UNSEEDED_RANDOM has been renamed to
CONFIG_WARN_ALL_UNSEEDED_RANDOM. By default the kernel will always
print the first use of unseeded randomness. This way, hopefully the
security obsessed will be happy that there is _some_ indication when
the kernel boots there may be a potential issue with that architecture
or subarchitecture. To see all uses of unseeded randomness,
developers can enable CONFIG_WARN_ALL_UNSEEDED_RANDOM.

This adds a new stress test driver for kmod: the kernel module loader.
The new stress test driver, test_kmod, is only enabled as a module right
now. It should be possible to load this as built-in and load tests
early (refer to the force_init_test module parameter), however since a
lot of test can get a system out of memory fast we leave this disabled
for now.
Using a system with 1024 MiB of RAM can *easily* get your kernel OOM
fast with this test driver.
The test_kmod driver exposes API knobs for us to fine tune simple
request_module() and get_fs_type() calls. Since these API calls only
allow each one parameter a test driver for these is rather simple.
Other factors that can help out test driver though are the number of
calls we issue and knowing current limitations of each. This exposes
configuration as much as possible through userspace to be able to build
tests directly from userspace.
Since it allows multiple misc devices its will eventually (once we add a
knob to let us create new devices at will) also be possible to perform
more tests in parallel, provided you have enough memory.
We only enable tests we know work as of right now.

enabled by default:
# tools/testing/selftests/kmod/kmod.sh -t 0008
# tools/testing/selftests/kmod/kmod.sh -t 0009
To be sure to run them as intended please unload both of the modules:
o test_module
o xfs
And ensure they are not loaded on your system prior to testing them. If
you use these paritions for your rootfs you can change the default test
driver used for get_fs_type() by exporting it into your environment. For
example of other test defaults you can override refer to kmod.sh
allow_user_defaults().
Behind the scenes this is how we fine tune at a test case prior to
hitting a trigger to run it:
cat /sys/devices/virtual/misc/test_kmod0/config
echo -n "2" > /sys/devices/virtual/misc/test_kmod0/config_test_case
echo -n "ext4" > /sys/devices/virtual/misc/test_kmod0/config_test_fs
echo -n "80" > /sys/devices/virtual/misc/test_kmod0/config_num_threads
cat /sys/devices/virtual/misc/test_kmod0/config
echo -n "1" > /sys/devices/virtual/misc/test_kmod0/config_num_threads
Finally to trigger:
echo -n "1" > /sys/devices/virtual/misc/test_kmod0/trigger_config
The kmod.sh script uses the above constructs to build different test cases.
A bit of interpretation of the current failures follows, first two
premises:
a) When request_module() is used userspace figures out an optimized
version of module order for us. Once it finds the modules it needs, as
per depmod symbol dep map, it will finit_module() the respective
modules which are needed for the original request_module() request.
b) We have an optimization in place whereby if a kernel uses
request_module() on a module already loaded we never bother userspace
as the module already is loaded. This is all handled by kernel/kmod.c.
A few things to consider to help identify root causes of issues:
0) kmod 19 has a broken heuristic for modules being assumed to be
built-in to your kernel and will return 0 even though request_module()
failed. Upgrade to a newer version of kmod.
1) A get_fs_type() call for "xfs" will request_module() for "fs-xfs",
not for "xfs". The optimization in kernel described in b) fails to
catch if we have a lot of consecutive get_fs_type() calls. The reason
is the optimization in place does not look for aliases. This means two
consecutive get_fs_type() calls will bump kmod_concurrent, whereas
request_module() will not.
This one explanation why test case 0009 fails at least once for
get_fs_type().
2) If a module fails to load --- for whatever reason (kmod_concurrent
limit reached, file not yet present due to rootfs switch, out of
memory) we have a period of time during which module request for the
same name either with request_module() or get_fs_type() will *also*
fail to load even if the file for the module is ready.
This explains why *multiple* NULLs are possible on test 0009.
3) finit_module() consumes quite a bit of memory.
4) Filesystems typically also have more dependent modules than other
modules, its important to note though that even though a get_fs_type()
call does not incur additional kmod_concurrent bumps, since userspace
loads dependencies it finds it needs via finit_module_fd(), it *will*
take much more memory to load a module with a lot of dependencies.
Because of 3) and 4) we will easily run into out of memory failures with
certain tests. For instance test 0006 fails on qemu with 1024 MiB of RAM.
It panics a box after reaping all userspace processes and still not
having enough memory to reap.

This file is owned by the currnet user. So we can create it with 0644

atomic64_inc_not_zero() returns a "truth value" which in C is
traditionally an int. That means callers are likely to expect the
result will fit in an int.
If an implementation returns a "true" value which does not fit in an
int, then there's a possibility that callers will truncate it when they
store it in an int.
In fact this happened in practice, see commit 966d2b04e070
("percpu-refcount: fix reference leak during percpu-atomic transition").
So add a test that the result fits in an int, even when the input
doesn't. This catches the case where an implementation just passes the
non-zero input value out as the result.

Currently the writeback statistics code uses a percpu counters to hold
various statistics. Furthermore we have 2 families of functions - those
which disable local irq and those which doesn't and whose names begin
with double underscore. However, they both end up calling
__add_wb_stats which in turn calls percpu_counter_add_batch which is
already irq-safe.
Exploiting this fact allows to eliminated the __wb_* functions since
they don't add any further protection than we already have.
Furthermore, refactor the wb_* function to call __add_wb_stat directly
without the irq-disabling dance. This will likely result in better
runtime of code which deals with modifying the stat counters.
While at it also document why percpu_counter_add_batch is in fact
preempt and irq-safe since at least 3 people got confused.

This adds support for compiling with a rough equivalent to the glibc
_FORTIFY_SOURCE=1 feature, providing compile-time and runtime buffer
overflow checks for string.h functions when the compiler determines the
size of the source or destination buffer at compile-time. Unlike glibc,
it covers buffer reads in addition to writes.
GNU C __builtin_*_chk intrinsics are avoided because they would force a
much more complex implementation. They aren't designed to detect read
overflows and offer no real benefit when using an implementation based
on inline checks. Inline checks don't add up to much code size and
allow full use of the regular string intrinsics while avoiding the need
for a bunch of _chk functions and per-arch assembly to avoid wrapper
overhead.
This detects various overflows at compile-time in various drivers and
some non-x86 core kernel code. There will likely be issues caught in
regular use at runtime too.
Future improvements left out of initial implementation for simplicity,
as it's all quite optional and can be done incrementally:
* Some of the fortified string functions (strncpy, strcat), don't yet
place a limit on reads from the source based on __builtin_object_size of
the source buffer.
* Extending coverage to more string functions like strlcat.
* It should be possible to optionally use __builtin_object_size(x, 1) for
some functions (C strings) to detect intra-object overflows (like
glibc's _FORTIFY_SOURCE=2), but for now this takes the conservative
approach to avoid likely compatibility issues.
* The compile-time checks should be made available via a separate config
option which can be enabled by default (or always enabled) once enough
time has passed to get the issues it catches fixed.
Kees said:
"This is great to have. While it was out-of-tree code, it would have
blocked at least CVE-2016-3858 from being exploitable (improper size
argument to strlcpy()). I've sent a number of fixes for
out-of-bounds-reads that this detected upstream already"

Split SOFTLOCKUP_DETECTOR from LOCKUP_DETECTOR, and split
HARDLOCKUP_DETECTOR_PERF from HARDLOCKUP_DETECTOR.
LOCKUP_DETECTOR implies the general boot, sysctl, and programming
interfaces for the lockup detectors.
An architecture that wants to use a hard lockup detector must define
HAVE_HARDLOCKUP_DETECTOR_PERF or HAVE_HARDLOCKUP_DETECTOR_ARCH.
Alternatively an arch can define HAVE_NMI_WATCHDOG, which provides the
minimum arch_touch_nmi_watchdog, and it otherwise does its own thing and
does not implement the LOCKUP_DETECTOR interfaces.
sparc is unusual in that it has started to implement some of the
interfaces, but not fully yet. It should probably be converted to a full
HAVE_HARDLOCKUP_DETECTOR_ARCH.

Add /proc/self/task/<current-tid>/fail-nth file that allows failing
0-th, 1-st, 2-nd and so on calls systematically.
Excerpt from the added documentation:
"Write to this file of integer N makes N-th call in the current task
fail (N is 0-based). Read from this file returns a single char 'Y' or
'N' that says if the fault setup with a previous write to this file
was injected or not, and disables the fault if it wasn't yet injected.
Note that this file enables all types of faults (slab, futex, etc).
This setting takes precedence over all other generic settings like
probability, interval, times, etc. But per-capability settings (e.g.
fail_futex/ignore-private) take precedence over it. This feature is
intended for systematic testing of faults in a single system call. See
an example below"
Why add a new setting:
1. Existing settings are global rather than per-task.
So parallel testing is not possible.
2. attr->interval is close but it depends on attr->count
which is non reset to 0, so interval does not work as expected.
3. Trying to model this with existing settings requires manipulations
of all of probability, interval, times, space, task-filter and
unexposed count and per-task make-it-fail files.
4. Existing settings are per-failure-type, and the set of failure
types is potentially expanding.
5. make-it-fail can't be changed by unprivileged user and aggressive
stress testing better be done from an unprivileged user.
Similarly, this would require opening the debugfs files to the
unprivileged user, as he would need to reopen at least times file
(not possible to pre-open before dropping privs).
The proposed interface solves all of the above (see the example).
We want to integrate this into syzkaller fuzzer. A prototype has found
10 bugs in kernel in first day of usage:
https://groups.google.com/forum/#!searchin/syzkaller/%22FAULT_INJECTION%22%7Csort:relevance
I've made the current interface work with all types of our sandboxes.
For setuid the secret sauce was prctl(PR_SET_DUMPABLE, 1, 0, 0, 0) to
make /proc entries non-root owned. So I am fine with the current
version of the code.

The existing tools/testing/selftests/sysctl/ tests include two test
cases, but these use existing production kernel sysctl interfaces. We
want to expand test coverage but we can't just be looking for random
safe production values to poke at, that's just insane!
Instead just dedicate a test driver for debugging purposes and port the
existing scripts to use it. This will make it easier for further tests
to be added.
Subsequent patches will extend our test coverage for sysctl.
The stress test driver uses a new license (GPL on Linux, copyleft-next
outside of Linux). Linus was fine with this [0] and later due to Ted's
and Alans's request ironed out an "or" language clause to use [1] which
is already present upstream.

Pull iov_iter hardening from Al Viro:
"This is the iov_iter/uaccess/hardening pile.
For one thing, it trims the inline part of copy_to_user/copy_from_user
to the minimum that *does* need to be inlined - object size checks,
basically. For another, it sanitizes the checks for iov_iter
primitives. There are 4 groups of checks: access_ok(), might_fault(),
object size and KASAN.
- access_ok() had been verified by whoever had set the iov_iter up.
However, that has happened in a function far away, so proving that
there's no path to actual copying bypassing those checks is hard
and proving that iov_iter has not been buggered in the meanwhile is
also not pleasant. So we want those redone in actual
copyin/copyout.
- might_fault() is better off consolidated - we know whether it needs
to be checked as soon as we enter iov_iter primitive and observe
the iov_iter flavour. No need to wait until the copyin/copyout. The
call chains are short enough to make sure we won't miss anything -
in fact, it's more robust that way, since there are cases where we
do e.g. forced fault-in before getting to copyin/copyout. It's not
quite what we need to check (in particular, combination of
iovec-backed and set_fs(KERNEL_DS) is almost certainly a bug, not a
cause to skip checks), but that's for later series. For now let's
keep might_fault().
- KASAN checks belong in copyin/copyout - at the same level where
other iov_iter flavours would've hit them in memcpy().
- object size checks should apply to *all* iov_iter flavours, not
just iovec-backed ones.
There are two groups of primitives - one gets the kernel object
described as pointer + size (copy_to_iter(), etc.) while another gets
it as page + offset + size (copy_page_to_iter(), etc.)
For the first group the checks are best done where we actually have a
chance to find the object size. In other words, those belong in inline
wrappers in uio.h, before calling into iov_iter.c. Same kind as we
have for inlined part of copy_to_user().
For the second group there is no object to look at - offset in page is
just a number, it bears no type information. So we do them in the
common helper called by iov_iter.c primitives of that kind. All it
currently does is checking that we are not trying to access outside of
the compound page; eventually we might want to add some sanity checks
on the page involved.
So the things we need in copyin/copyout part of iov_iter.c do not
quite match anything in uaccess.h (we want no zeroing, we *do* want
access_ok() and KASAN and we want no might_fault() or object size
checks done on that level). OTOH, these needs are simple enough to
provide a couple of helpers (static in iov_iter.c) doing just what we
need..."

Pull Writeback error handling updates from Jeff Layton:
"This pile represents the bulk of the writeback error handling fixes
that I have for this cycle. Some of the earlier patches in this pile
may look trivial but they are prerequisites for later patches in the
series.
The aim of this set is to improve how we track and report writeback
errors to userland. Most applications that care about data integrity
will periodically call fsync/fdatasync/msync to ensure that their
writes have made it to the backing store.
For a very long time, we have tracked writeback errors using two flags
in the address_space: AS_EIO and AS_ENOSPC. Those flags are set when a
writeback error occurs (via mapping_set_error) and are cleared as a
side-effect of filemap_check_errors (as you noted yesterday). This
model really sucks for userland.
Only the first task to call fsync (or msync or fdatasync) will see the
error. Any subsequent task calling fsync on a file will get back 0
(unless another writeback error occurs in the interim). If I have
several tasks writing to a file and calling fsync to ensure that their
writes got stored, then I need to have them coordinate with one
another. That's difficult enough, but in a world of containerized
setups that coordination may even not be possible.
But wait...it gets worse!
The calls to filemap_check_errors can be buried pretty far down in the
call stack, and there are internal callers of filemap_write_and_wait
and the like that also end up clearing those errors. Many of those
callers ignore the error return from that function or return it to
userland at nonsensical times (e.g. truncate() or stat()). If I get
back -EIO on a truncate, there is no reason to think that it was
because some previous writeback failed, and a subsequent fsync() will
(incorrectly) return 0.
This pile aims to do three things:
1) ensure that when a writeback error occurs that that error will be
reported to userland on a subsequent fsync/fdatasync/msync call,
regardless of what internal callers are doing
2) report writeback errors on all file descriptions that were open at
the time that the error occurred. This is a user-visible change,
but I think most applications are written to assume this behavior
anyway. Those that aren't are unlikely to be hurt by it.
3) document what filesystems should do when there is a writeback
error. Today, there is very little consistency between them, and a
lot of cargo-cult copying. We need to make it very clear what
filesystems should do in this situation.
To achieve this, the set adds a new data type (errseq_t) and then
builds new writeback error tracking infrastructure around that. Once
all of that is in place, we change the filesystems to use the new
infrastructure for reporting wb errors to userland.
Note that this is just the initial foray into cleaning up this mess.
There is a lot of work remaining here:
1) convert the rest of the filesystems in a similar fashion. Once the
initial set is in, then I think most other fs' will be fairly
simple to convert. Hopefully most of those can in via individual
filesystem trees.
2) convert internal waiters on writeback to use errseq_t for
detecting errors instead of relying on the AS_* flags. I have some
draft patches for this for ext4, but they are not quite ready for
prime time yet.
This was a discussion topic this year at LSF/MM too. If you're
