2015-08-11tracing: Allow triggers to filter for CPU ids and process namesDaniel Wagner
By extending the filter rules by more generic fields we can write triggers filters like echo 'stacktrace if cpu == 1' > \ /sys/kernel/debug/tracing/events/raw_syscalls/sys_enter/trigger or echo 'stacktrace if comm == sshd' > \ /sys/kernel/debug/tracing/events/raw_syscalls/sys_enter/trigger CPU and COMM are not part of struct trace_entry. We could add the two new fields to ftrace_common_field list and fix up all depending sides. But that looks pretty ugly. Another thing I would like to avoid that the 'format' file contents changes. All this can be avoided by introducing another list which contains non field members of struct trace_entry.

2015-08-10mm: enhance region_is_ram() to region_intersects()Dan Williams
region_is_ram() is used to prevent the establishment of aliased mappings to physical "System RAM" with incompatible cache settings. However, it uses "-1" to indicate both "unknown" memory ranges (ranges not described by platform firmware) and "mixed" ranges (where the parameters describe a range that partially overlaps "System RAM"). Fix this up by explicitly tracking the "unknown" vs "mixed" resource cases and returning REGION_INTERSECTS, REGION_MIXED, or REGION_DISJOINT. This re-write also adds support for detecting when the requested region completely eclipses all of a resource. Note, the implementation treats overlaps between "unknown" and the requested memory type as REGION_INTERSECTS. Finally, other memory types can be passed in by name, for now the only usage "System RAM". Suggested-by: Luis R.

Let the user explicitly provide a file containing trusted keys, instead of just automatically finding files matching *.x509 in the build tree and trusting whatever we find. This really ought to be an *explicit* configuration, and the build rules for dealing with the files were fairly painful too.

2015-08-07modsign: Use single PEM file for autogenerated keyDavid Woodhouse
The current rule for generating signing_key.priv and signing_key.x509 is a classic example of a bad rule which has a tendency to break parallel make. When invoked to create *either* target, it generates the other target as a side-effect that make didn't predict. So let's switch to using a single file signing_key.pem which contains both key and certificate. That matches what we do in the case of an external key specified by CONFIG_MODULE_SIG_KEY anyway, so it's also slightly cleaner.

2015-08-07MODSIGN: Use PKCS#7 messages as module signaturesDavid Howells
Move to using PKCS#7 messages as module signatures because: (1) We have to be able to support the use of X.509 certificates that don't have a subjKeyId set. We're currently relying on this to look up the X.509 certificate in the trusted keyring list. (2) PKCS#7 message signed information blocks have a field that supplies the data required to match with the X.509 certificate that signed it. (3) The PKCS#7 certificate carries fields that specify the digest algorithm used to generate the signature in a standardised way and the X.509 certificates specify the public key algorithm in a standardised way - so we don't need our own methods of specifying these. (4) We now have PKCS#7 message support in the kernel for signed kexec purposes and we can make use of this. To make this work, the old sign-file script has been replaced with a program that needs compiling in a previous patch. The rules to build it are added here.

2015-08-07signal: fix information leak in copy_siginfo_from_user32Amanieu d'Antras
This function can leak kernel stack data when the user siginfo_t has a positive si_code value. The top 16 bits of si_code descibe which fields in the siginfo_t union are active, but they are treated inconsistently between copy_siginfo_from_user32, copy_siginfo_to_user32 and copy_siginfo_to_user. copy_siginfo_from_user32 is called from rt_sigqueueinfo and rt_tgsigqueueinfo in which the user has full control overthe top 16 bits of si_code. This fixes the following information leaks: x86: 8 bytes leaked when sending a signal from a 32-bit process to itself. This leak grows to 16 bytes if the process uses x32. (si_code = __SI_CHLD) x86: 100 bytes leaked when sending a signal from a 32-bit process to a 64-bit process. (si_code = -1) sparc: 4 bytes leaked when sending a signal from a 32-bit process to a 64-bit process. (si_code = any) parsic and s390 have similar bugs, but they are not vulnerable because rt_[tg]sigqueueinfo have checks that prevent sending a positive si_code to a different process. These bugs are also fixed for consistency.

2015-08-06audit: implement audit by executableRichard Guy Briggs
This adds the ability audit the actions of a not-yet-running process. This patch implements the ability to filter on the executable path. Instead of just hard coding the ino and dev of the executable we care about at the moment the rule is inserted into the kernel, use the new audit_fsnotify infrastructure to manage this dynamically. This means that if the filename does not yet exist but the containing directory does, or if the inode in question is unlinked and creat'd (aka updated) the rule will just continue to work. If the containing directory is moved or deleted or the filesystem is unmounted, the rule is deleted automatically. A future enhancement would be to have the rule survive across directory disruptions.

2015-08-06audit: clean simple fsnotify implementationRichard Guy Briggs
This is to be used to audit by executable path rules, but audit watches should be able to share this code eventually. At the moment the audit watch code is a lot more complex. That code only creates one fsnotify watch per parent directory. That 'audit_parent' in turn has a list of 'audit_watches' which contain the name, ino, dev of the specific object we care about. This just creates one fsnotify watch per object we care about. So if you watch 100 inodes in /etc this code will create 100 fsnotify watches on /etc. The audit_watch code will instead create 1 fsnotify watch on /etc (the audit_parent) and then 100 individual watches chained from that fsnotify mark. We should be able to convert the audit_watch code to do one fsnotify mark per watch and simplify things/remove a whole lot of code. After that conversion we should be able to convert the audit_fsnotify code to support that hierarchy if the optimization is necessary. Move the access to the entry for audit_match_signal() to the beginning of the audit_del_rule() function in case the entry found is the same one passed in. This will enable it to be used by audit_autoremove_mark_rule(), kill_rules() and audit_remove_parent_watches().

2015-08-05cpu-hotplug: convert cpu_hotplug_disabled to a counterVitaly Kuznetsov
As a prerequisite to exporting cpu_hotplug_enable/cpu_hotplug_disable functions to modules we need to convert cpu_hotplug_disabled to a counter to properly support disable -> disable -> enable call sequences. E.g. after Hyper-V vmbus module (which is supposed to be the first user of exported cpu_hotplug_enable/cpu_hotplug_disable) did cpu_hotplug_disable() hibernate path calls disable_nonboot_cpus() and if we hit an error in _cpu_down() enable_nonboot_cpus() will be called on the failure path (thus making cpu_hotplug_disabled = 0 and leaving cpu hotplug in 'enabled' state). Same problem is possible if more than 1 module use cpu_hotplug_disable/cpu_hotplug_enable on their load/unload paths. When one of these modules is been unloaded it is logical to leave cpu hotplug in 'disabled' state. To support the change we need to increse cpu_hotplug_disabled counter in disable_nonboot_cpus() unconditionally as all users of disable_nonboot_cpus() are supposed to do enable_nonboot_cpus() in case an error was returned.

2015-08-04audit: eliminate unnecessary extra layer of watch parent referencesRichard Guy Briggs
The audit watch parent count was imbalanced, adding an unnecessary layer of watch parent references. Decrement the additional parent reference when a watch is reused, already having a reference to the parent. audit_find_parent() gets a reference to the parent, if the parent is already known. This additional parental reference is not needed if the watch is subsequently found by audit_add_to_parent(), and consumed if the watch does not already exist, so we need to put the parent if the watch is found, and do nothing if this new watch is added to the parent. If the parent wasn't already known, it is created with a refcount of 1 and added to the audit_watch_group, then incremented by one to be subsequently consumed by the newly created watch in audit_add_to_parent(). The rule points to the watch, not to the parent, so the rule's refcount gets bumped, not the parent's.

2015-08-04rcu: Silence lockdep false positive for expedited grace periodsPaul E. McKenney
In a CONFIG_PREEMPT=y kernel, synchronize_rcu_expedited() acquires the ->exp_funnel_mutex in rcu_preempt_state, then invokes synchronize_sched_expedited, which acquires the ->exp_funnel_mutex in rcu_sched_state. There can be no deadlock because rcu_preempt_state ->exp_funnel_mutex acquisition always precedes that of rcu_sched_state. But lockdep does not know that, so it gives false-positive splats. This commit therefore associates a separate lock_class_key structure with the rcu_sched_state structure's ->exp_funnel_mutex, allowing lockdep to see the lock ordering, avoiding the false positives.

2015-08-04perf/x86/intel/pt: Do not force sync packets on every schedule-inAlexander Shishkin
Currently, the PT driver zeroes out the status register every time before starting the event. However, all the writable bits are already taken care of in pt_handle_status() function, except the new PacketByteCnt field, which in new versions of PT contains the number of packet bytes written since the last sync (PSB) packet. Zeroing it out before enabling PT forces a sync packet to be written. This means that, with the existing code, a sync packet (PSB and PSBEND, 18 bytes in total) will be generated every time a PT event is scheduled in. To avoid these unnecessary syncs and save a WRMSR in the fast path, this patch changes the default behavior to not clear PacketByteCnt field, so that the sync packets will be generated with the period specified as "psb_period" attribute config field. This has little impact on the trace data as the other packets that are normally sent within PSB+ (between PSB and PSBEND) have their own generation scenarios which do not depend on the sync packets. One exception where we do need to force PSB like this when tracing starts, so that the decoder has a clear sync point in the trace.

2015-08-04perf/x86/hw_breakpoints: Disallow kernel breakpoints unless kprobe-safeAndy Lutomirski
Code on the kprobe blacklist doesn't want unexpected int3 exceptions. It probably doesn't want unexpected debug exceptions either. Be safe: disallow breakpoints in nokprobes code. On non-CONFIG_KPROBES kernels, there is no kprobe blacklist. In that case, disallow kernel breakpoints entirely. It will be particularly important to keep hw breakpoints out of the entry and NMI code once we move debug exceptions off the IST stack.

2015-08-04perf: Fix fasync handling on inherited eventsPeter Zijlstra
Vince reported that the fasync signal stuff doesn't work proper for inherited events. So fix that. Installing fasync allocates memory and sets filp->f_flags |= FASYNC, which upon the demise of the file descriptor ensures the allocation is freed and state is updated. Now for perf, we can have the events stick around for a while after the original FD is dead because of references from child events. So we cannot copy the fasync pointer around. We can however consistently use the parent's fasync, as that will be updated.

It does not make much sense to call idr_preload with the same gfp mask as the following idr_alloc, but this is what we do in cgroup_idr_alloc. This patch fixes the idr_preload usage by making cgroup_idr_alloc call idr_alloc w/o __GFP_WAIT. Since it is now safe to call cgroup_idr_alloc with GFP_KERNEL, the patch also fixes all its callers appropriately.

2015-08-03sched/fair: Provide runnable_load_avg back to cfs_rqYuyang Du
The cfs_rq's load_avg is composed of runnable_load_avg and blocked_load_avg. Before this series, sometimes the runnable_load_avg is used, and sometimes the load_avg is used. Completely replacing all uses of runnable_load_avg with load_avg may be too big a leap, i.e., the blocked_load_avg is concerned to result in overrated load. Therefore, we get runnable_load_avg back. The new cfs_rq's runnable_load_avg is improved to be updated with all of the runnable sched_eneities at the same time, so the one sched_entity updated and the others stale problem is solved.

2015-08-03sched/fair: Rewrite runnable load and utilization average trackingYuyang Du
The idea of runnable load average (let runnable time contribute to weight) was proposed by Paul Turner and Ben Segall, and it is still followed by this rewrite. This rewrite aims to solve the following issues: 1. cfs_rq's load average (namely runnable_load_avg and blocked_load_avg) is updated at the granularity of an entity at a time, which results in the cfs_rq's load average is stale or partially updated: at any time, only one entity is up to date, all other entities are effectively lagging behind. This is undesirable. To illustrate, if we have n runnable entities in the cfs_rq, as time elapses, they certainly become outdated: t0: cfs_rq { e1_old, e2_old, ..., en_old } and when we update: t1: update e1, then we have cfs_rq { e1_new, e2_old, ..., en_old } t2: update e2, then we have cfs_rq { e1_old, e2_new, ..., en_old } ... We solve this by combining all runnable entities' load averages together in cfs_rq's avg, and update the cfs_rq's avg as a whole. This is based on the fact that if we regard the update as a function, then: w * update(e) = update(w * e) and update(e1) + update(e2) = update(e1 + e2), then w1 * update(e1) + w2 * update(e2) = update(w1 * e1 + w2 * e2) therefore, by this rewrite, we have an entirely updated cfs_rq at the time we update it: t1: update cfs_rq { e1_new, e2_new, ..., en_new } t2: update cfs_rq { e1_new, e2_new, ..., en_new } ... 2. cfs_rq's load average is different between top rq->cfs_rq and other task_group's per CPU cfs_rqs in whether or not blocked_load_average contributes to the load. The basic idea behind runnable load average (the same for utilization) is that the blocked state is taken into account as opposed to only accounting for the currently runnable state. Therefore, the average should include both the runnable/running and blocked load averages. This rewrite does that. In addition, we also combine runnable/running and blocked averages of all entities into the cfs_rq's average, and update it together at once. This is based on the fact that: update(runnable) + update(blocked) = update(runnable + blocked) This significantly reduces the code as we don't need to separately maintain/update runnable/running load and blocked load. 3. How task_group entities' share is calculated is complex and imprecise. We reduce the complexity in this rewrite to allow a very simple rule: the task_group's load_avg is aggregated from its per CPU cfs_rqs's load_avgs. Then group entity's weight is simply proportional to its own cfs_rq's load_avg / task_group's load_avg. To illustrate, if a task_group has { cfs_rq1, cfs_rq2, ..., cfs_rqn }, then, task_group_avg = cfs_rq1_avg + cfs_rq2_avg + ... + cfs_rqn_avg, then cfs_rqx's entity's share = cfs_rqx_avg / task_group_avg * task_group's share To sum up, this rewrite in principle is equivalent to the current one, but fixes the issues described above. Turns out, it significantly reduces the code complexity and hence increases clarity and efficiency. In addition, the new averages are more smooth/continuous (no spurious spikes and valleys) and updated more consistently and quickly to reflect the load dynamics. As a result, we have less load tracking overhead, better performance, and especially better power efficiency due to more balanced load.
