* crash: split crash dumping code out from kexec_core.cBaoquan He2024-02-231-1/+2
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Currently, KEXEC_CORE select CRASH_CORE automatically because crash codes need be built in to avoid compiling error when building kexec code even though the crash dumping functionality is not enabled. E.g -------------------- CONFIG_CRASH_CORE=y CONFIG_KEXEC_CORE=y CONFIG_KEXEC=y CONFIG_KEXEC_FILE=y --------------------- After splitting out crashkernel reservation code and vmcoreinfo exporting code, there's only crash related code left in kernel/crash_core.c. Now move crash related codes from kexec_core.c to crash_core.c and only build it in when CONFIG_CRASH_DUMP=y. And also wrap up crash codes inside CONFIG_CRASH_DUMP ifdeffery scope, or replace inappropriate CONFIG_KEXEC_CORE ifdef with CONFIG_CRASH_DUMP ifdef in generic kernel files. With these changes, crash_core codes are abstracted from kexec codes and can be disabled at all if only kexec reboot feature is wanted.

* crash: remove dependency of FA_DUMP on CRASH_DUMPBaoquan He2024-02-231-2/+1
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | In kdump kernel, /proc/vmcore is an elf file mapping the crashed kernel's old memory content. Its elf header is constructed in 1st kernel and passed to kdump kernel via elfcorehdr_addr. Config CRASH_DUMP enables the code of 1st kernel's old memory accessing in different architectures. Currently, config FA_DUMP has dependency on CRASH_DUMP because fadump needs access global variable 'elfcorehdr_addr' to judge if it's in kdump kernel within function is_kdump_kernel(). In the current kernel/crash_dump.c, variable 'elfcorehdr_addr' is defined, and function setup_elfcorehdr() used to parse kernel parameter to fetch the passed value of elfcorehdr_addr. Only for accessing elfcorehdr_addr, FA_DUMP really doesn't have to depends on CRASH_DUMP. To remove the dependency of FA_DUMP on CRASH_DUMP to avoid confusion, rename kernel/crash_dump.c to kernel/elfcorehdr.c, and build it when CONFIG_VMCORE_INFO is ebabled. With this, FA_DUMP doesn't need to depend on CRASH_DUMP.

* kexec: split crashkernel reservation code out from crash_core.cBaoquan He2024-02-231-0/+1
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Patch series "Split crash out from kexec and clean up related config items", v3. Motivation: ============= Previously, LKP reported a building error. When investigating, it can't be resolved reasonablly with the present messy kdump config items. https://lore.kernel.org/oe-kbuild-all/202312182200.Ka7MzifQ-lkp@intel.com/ The kdump (crash dumping) related config items could causes confusions: Firstly, CRASH_CORE enables codes including - crashkernel reservation; - elfcorehdr updating; - vmcoreinfo exporting; - crash hotplug handling; Now fadump of powerpc, kcore dynamic debugging and kdump all selects CRASH_CORE, while fadump - fadump needs crashkernel parsing, vmcoreinfo exporting, and accessing global variable 'elfcorehdr_addr'; - kcore only needs vmcoreinfo exporting; - kdump needs all of the current kernel/crash_core.c. So only enabling PROC_CORE or FA_DUMP will enable CRASH_CORE, this mislead people that we enable crash dumping, actual it's not. Secondly, It's not reasonable to allow KEXEC_CORE select CRASH_CORE. Because KEXEC_CORE enables codes which allocate control pages, copy kexec/kdump segments, and prepare for switching. These codes are shared by both kexec reboot and kdump. We could want kexec reboot, but disable kdump. In that case, CRASH_CORE should not be selected. -------------------- CONFIG_CRASH_CORE=y CONFIG_KEXEC_CORE=y CONFIG_KEXEC=y CONFIG_KEXEC_FILE=y --------------------- Thirdly, It's not reasonable to allow CRASH_DUMP select KEXEC_CORE. That could make KEXEC_CORE, CRASH_DUMP are enabled independently from KEXEC or KEXEC_FILE. However, w/o KEXEC or KEXEC_FILE, the KEXEC_CORE code built in doesn't make any sense because no kernel loading or switching will happen to utilize the KEXEC_CORE code. --------------------- CONFIG_CRASH_CORE=y CONFIG_KEXEC_CORE=y CONFIG_CRASH_DUMP=y --------------------- In this case, what is worse, on arch sh and arm, KEXEC relies on MMU, while CRASH_DUMP can still be enabled when !MMU, then compiling error is seen as the lkp test robot reported in above link. ------arch/sh/Kconfig------ config ARCH_SUPPORTS_KEXEC def_bool MMU config ARCH_SUPPORTS_CRASH_DUMP def_bool BROKEN_ON_SMP --------------------------- Changes: =========== 1, split out crash_reserve.c from crash_core.c; 2, split out vmcore_infoc. from crash_core.c; 3, move crash related codes in kexec_core.c into crash_core.c; 4, remove dependency of FA_DUMP on CRASH_DUMP; 5, clean up kdump related config items; 6, wrap up crash codes in crash related ifdefs on all 8 arch-es which support crash dumping, except of ppc; Achievement: =========== With above changes, I can rearrange the config item logic as below (the right item depends on or is selected by the left item): PROC_KCORE -----------> VMCORE_INFO |----------> VMCORE_INFO FA_DUMP----| |----------> CRASH_RESERVE ---->VMCORE_INFO / |---->CRASH_RESERVE KEXEC --| /| |--> KEXEC_CORE--> CRASH_DUMP-->/-|---->PROC_VMCORE KEXEC_FILE --| \ | \---->CRASH_HOTPLUG KEXEC --| |--> KEXEC_CORE (for kexec reboot only) KEXEC_FILE --| Test ======== On all 8 architectures, including x86_64, arm64, s390x, sh, arm, mips, riscv, loongarch, I did below three cases of config item setting and building all passed. Take configs on x86_64 as exampmle here: (1) Both CONFIG_KEXEC and KEXEC_FILE is unset, then all kexec/kdump items are unset automatically: # Kexec and crash features # CONFIG_KEXEC is not set # CONFIG_KEXEC_FILE is not set # end of Kexec and crash features (2) set CONFIG_KEXEC_FILE and 'make olddefconfig': --------------- # Kexec and crash features CONFIG_CRASH_RESERVE=y CONFIG_VMCORE_INFO=y CONFIG_KEXEC_CORE=y CONFIG_KEXEC_FILE=y CONFIG_CRASH_DUMP=y CONFIG_CRASH_HOTPLUG=y CONFIG_CRASH_MAX_MEMORY_RANGES=8192 # end of Kexec and crash features --------------- (3) unset CONFIG_CRASH_DUMP in case 2 and execute 'make olddefconfig': ------------------------ # Kexec and crash features CONFIG_KEXEC_CORE=y CONFIG_KEXEC_FILE=y # end of Kexec and crash features ------------------------ Note: For ppc, it needs investigation to make clear how to split out crash code in arch folder. Hope Hari and Pingfan can help have a look, see if it's doable. Now, I make it either have both kexec and crash enabled, or disable both of them altogether. This patch (of 14): Both kdump and fa_dump of ppc rely on crashkernel reservation. Move the relevant codes into separate files: crash_reserve.c, include/linux/crash_reserve.h. And also add config item CRASH_RESERVE to control its enabling of the codes. And update config items which has relationship with crashkernel reservation. And also change ifdeffery from CONFIG_CRASH_CORE to CONFIG_CRASH_RESERVE when those scopes are only crashkernel reservation related. And also rename arch/XXX/include/asm/{crash_core.h => crash_reserve.h} on arm64, x86 and risc-v because those architectures' crash_core.h is only related to crashkernel reservation.

| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | function kallsyms_show_value() is used by other parts like modules_open(), kprobes_read() etc. which can work in case of !KALLSYMS also. e.g. as of now lsmod do not show module address if KALLSYMS is disabled. since kallsyms_show_value() defination is not present, it returns false in !KALLSYMS. / # lsmod test 12288 0 - Live 0x0000000000000000 (O) So kallsyms_show_value() can be made generic without dependency on KALLSYMS.

* | watchdog/hardlockup: detect hard lockups using secondary (buddy) CPUsDouglas Anderson2023-06-091-0/+1
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Implement a hardlockup detector that doesn't doesn't need any extra arch-specific support code to detect lockups. Instead of using something arch-specific we will use the buddy system, where each CPU watches out for another one. Specifically, each CPU will use its softlockup hrtimer to check that the next CPU is processing hrtimer interrupts by verifying that a counter is increasing. NOTE: unlike the other hard lockup detectors, the buddy one can't easily show what's happening on the CPU that locked up just by doing a simple backtrace. It relies on some other mechanism in the system to get information about the locked up CPUs. This could be support for NMI backtraces like [1], it could be a mechanism for printing the PC of locked CPUs at panic time like [2] / [3], or it could be something else. Even though that means we still rely on arch-specific code, this arch-specific code seems to often be implemented even on architectures that don't have a hardlockup detector. This style of hardlockup detector originated in some downstream Android trees and has been rebased on / carried in ChromeOS trees for quite a long time for use on arm and arm64 boards. Historically on these boards we've leveraged mechanism [2] / [3] to get information about hung CPUs, but we could move to [1]. Although the original motivation for the buddy system was for use on systems without an arch-specific hardlockup detector, it can still be useful to use even on systems that _do_ have an arch-specific hardlockup detector. On x86, for instance, there is a 24-part patch series [4] in progress switching the arch-specific hard lockup detector from a scarce perf counter to a less-scarce hardware resource. Potentially the buddy system could be a simpler alternative to free up the perf counter but still get hard lockup detection. Overall, pros (+) and cons (-) of the buddy system compared to an arch-specific hardlockup detector (which might be implemented using perf): + The buddy system is usable on systems that don't have an arch-specific hardlockup detector, like arm32 and arm64 (though it's being worked on for arm64 [5]). + The buddy system may free up scarce hardware resources. + If a CPU totally goes out to lunch (can't process NMIs) the buddy system could still detect the problem (though it would be unlikely to be able to get a stack trace). + The buddy system uses the same timer function to pet the hardlockup detector on the running CPU as it uses to detect hardlockups on other CPUs. Compared to other hardlockup detectors, this means it generates fewer interrupts and thus is likely better able to let CPUs stay idle longer. - If all CPUs are hard locked up at the same time the buddy system can't detect it. - If we don't have SMP we can't use the buddy system. - The buddy system needs an arch-specific mechanism (possibly NMI backtrace) to get info about the locked up CPU.

* | watchdog/perf: rename watchdog_hld.c to watchdog_perf.cDouglas Anderson2023-06-091-1/+1
|/ | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | The code currently in "watchdog_hld.c" is for detecting hardlockups using perf, as evidenced by the line in the Makefile that only compiles this file if CONFIG_HARDLOCKUP_DETECTOR_PERF is defined. Rename the file to prepare for the buddy hardlockup detector, which doesn't use perf. It could be argued that the new name makes it less obvious that this is a hardlockup detector. While true, it's not hard to remember that the "perf" detector is always a hardlockup detector and it's nice not to have names that are too convoluted.

Most of the changes have been in linux-next for quite some time except the minor fixes I made to check if a module was already loaded prior to allocating the final module memory with vmalloc and the respective debug code it introduces to help clarify the issue. Although the functional change is small it is rather safe as it can only *help* reduce vmalloc space for duplicates and is confirmed to fix a bootup issue with over 400 CPUs with KASAN enabled. I don't expect stable kernels to pick up that fix as the cleanups would have also had to have been picked up. Folks on larger CPU systems with modules will want to just upgrade if vmalloc space has been an issue on bootup. Given the size of this request, here's some more elaborate details: The functional change change in this pull request is the very first patch from Song Liu which replaces the 'struct module_layout' with a new 'struct module_memory'. The old data structure tried to put together all types of supported module memory types in one data structure, the new one abstracts the differences in memory types in a module to allow each one to provide their own set of details. This paves the way in the future so we can deal with them in a cleaner way. If you look at changes they also provide a nice cleanup of how we handle these different memory areas in a module. This change has been in linux-next since before the merge window opened for v6.3 so to provide more than a full kernel cycle of testing. It's a good thing as quite a bit of fixes have been found for it. Jason Baron then made dynamic debug a first class citizen module user by using module notifier callbacks to allocate / remove module specific dynamic debug information. Nick Alcock has done quite a bit of work cross-tree to remove module license tags from things which cannot possibly be module at my request so to: a) help him with his longer term tooling goals which require a deterministic evaluation if a piece a symbol code could ever be part of a module or not. But quite recently it is has been made clear that tooling is not the only one that would benefit. Disambiguating symbols also helps efforts such as live patching, kprobes and BPF, but for other reasons and R&D on this area is active with no clear solution in sight. b) help us inch closer to the now generally accepted long term goal of automating all the MODULE_LICENSE() tags from SPDX license tags In so far as a) is concerned, although module license tags are a no-op for non-modules, tools which would want create a mapping of possible modules can only rely on the module license tag after the commit 8b41fc4454e ("kbuild: create modules.builtin without Makefile.modbuiltin or tristate.conf"). Nick has been working on this *for years* and AFAICT I was the only one to suggest two alternatives to this approach for tooling. The complexity in one of my suggested approaches lies in that we'd need a possible-obj-m and a could-be-module which would check if the object being built is part of any kconfig build which could ever lead to it being part of a module, and if so define a new define -DPOSSIBLE_MODULE [0]. A more obvious yet theoretical approach I've suggested would be to have a tristate in kconfig imply the same new -DPOSSIBLE_MODULE as well but that means getting kconfig symbol names mapping to modules always, and I don't think that's the case today. I am not aware of Nick or anyone exploring either of these options. Quite recently Josh Poimboeuf has pointed out that live patching, kprobes and BPF would benefit from resolving some part of the disambiguation as well but for other reasons. The function granularity KASLR (fgkaslr) patches were mentioned but Joe Lawrence has clarified this effort has been dropped with no clear solution in sight [1]. In the meantime removing module license tags from code which could never be modules is welcomed for both objectives mentioned above. Some developers have also welcomed these changes as it has helped clarify when a module was never possible and they forgot to clean this up, and so you'll see quite a bit of Nick's patches in other pull requests for this merge window. I just picked up the stragglers after rc3. LWN has good coverage on the motivation behind this work [2] and the typical cross-tree issues he ran into along the way. The only concrete blocker issue he ran into was that we should not remove the MODULE_LICENSE() tags from files which have no SPDX tags yet, even if they can never be modules. Nick ended up giving up on his efforts due to having to do this vetting and backlash he ran into from folks who really did *not understand* the core of the issue nor were providing any alternative / guidance. I've gone through his changes and dropped the patches which dropped the module license tags where an SPDX license tag was missing, it only consisted of 11 drivers. To see if a pull request deals with a file which lacks SPDX tags you can just use: ./scripts/spdxcheck.py -f \ $(git diff --name-only commid-id | xargs echo) You'll see a core module file in this pull request for the above, but that's not related to his changes. WE just need to add the SPDX license tag for the kernel/module/kmod.c file in the future but it demonstrates the effectiveness of the script. Most of Nick's changes were spread out through different trees, and I just picked up the slack after rc3 for the last kernel was out. Those changes have been in linux-next for over two weeks. The cleanups, debug code I added and final fix I added for modules were motivated by David Hildenbrand's report of boot failing on a systems with over 400 CPUs when KASAN was enabled due to running out of virtual memory space. Although the functional change only consists of 3 lines in the patch "module: avoid allocation if module is already present and ready", proving that this was the best we can do on the modules side took quite a bit of effort and new debug code. The initial cleanups I did on the modules side of things has been in linux-next since around rc3 of the last kernel, the actual final fix for and debug code however have only been in linux-next for about a week or so but I think it is worth getting that code in for this merge window as it does help fix / prove / evaluate the issues reported with larger number of CPUs. Userspace is not yet fixed as it is taking a bit of time for folks to understand the crux of the issue and find a proper resolution. Worst come to worst, I have a kludge-of-concept [3] of how to make kernel_read*() calls for modules unique / converge them, but I'm currently inclined to just see if userspace can fix this instead" Link: https://lore.kernel.org/all/Y/kXDqW+7d71C4wz@bombadil.infradead.org/ [0] Link: https://lkml.kernel.org/r/025f2151-ce7c-5630-9b90-98742c97ac65@redhat.com [1] Link: https://lwn.net/Articles/927569/ [2] Link: https://lkml.kernel.org/r/20230414052840.1994456-3-mcgrof@kernel.org [3] * tag 'modules-6.4-rc1' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/mcgrof/linux: (121 commits) module: add debugging auto-load duplicate module support module: stats: fix invalid_mod_bytes typo module: remove use of uninitialized variable len module: fix building stats for 32-bit targets module: stats: include uapi/linux/module.h module: avoid allocation if module is already present and ready module: add debug stats to help identify memory pressure module: extract patient module check into helper modules/kmod: replace implementation with a semaphore Change DEFINE_SEMAPHORE() to take a number argument module: fix kmemleak annotations for non init ELF sections module: Ignore L0 and rename is_arm_mapping_symbol() module: Move is_arm_mapping_symbol() to module_symbol.h module: Sync code of is_arm_mapping_symbol() scripts/gdb: use mem instead of core_layout to get the module address interconnect: remove module-related code interconnect: remove MODULE_LICENSE in non-modules zswap: remove MODULE_LICENSE in non-modules zpool: remove MODULE_LICENSE in non-modules x86/mm/dump_pagetables: remove MODULE_LICENSE in non-modules ...

* | vhost_task: Allow vhost layer to use copy_processMike Christie2023-03-231-0/+1
|/ | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Qemu will create vhost devices in the kernel which perform network, SCSI, etc IO and management operations from worker threads created by the kthread API. Because the kthread API does a copy_process on the kthreadd thread, the vhost layer has to use kthread_use_mm to access the Qemu thread's memory and cgroup_attach_task_all to add itself to the Qemu thread's cgroups, and it bypasses the RLIMIT_NPROC limit which can result in VMs creating more threads than the admin expected. This patch adds a new struct vhost_task which can be used instead of kthreads. They allow the vhost layer to use copy_process and inherit the userspace process's mm and cgroups, the task is accounted for under the userspace's nproc count and can be seen in its process tree, and other features like namespaces work and are inherited by default.

| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | When CFI_CLANG and KASAN are both enabled, LLVM doesn't generate a CFI type hash for asan.module_ctor functions in translation units where CFI is disabled, which leads to a CFI failure during boot when do_ctors calls the affected constructors: CFI failure at do_basic_setup+0x64/0x90 (target: asan.module_ctor+0x0/0x28; expected type: 0xa540670c) Specifically, this happens because CFI is disabled for kernel/cfi.c. There's no reason to keep CFI disabled here anymore, so fix the failure by not filtering out CC_FLAGS_CFI for the file. Note that https://reviews.llvm.org/rG3b14862f0a96 fixed the issue where LLVM didn't emit CFI type hashes for any sanitizer constructors, but now type hashes are emitted correctly for TUs that use CFI.

|/ | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Added test cases for basic functions and performance of functions kallsyms_lookup_name(), kallsyms_on_each_symbol() and kallsyms_on_each_match_symbol(). It also calculates the compression rate of the kallsyms compression algorithm for the current symbol set. The basic functions test begins by testing a set of symbols whose address values are known. Then, traverse all symbol addresses and find the corresponding symbol name based on the address. It's impossible to determine whether these addresses are correct, but we can use the above three functions along with the addresses to test each other. Due to the traversal operation of kallsyms_on_each_symbol() is too slow, only 60 symbols can be tested in one second, so let it test on average once every 128 symbols. The other two functions validate all symbols. If the basic functions test is passed, print only performance test results. If the test fails, print error information, but do not perform subsequent performance tests. Start self-test automatically after system startup if CONFIG_KALLSYMS_SELFTEST=y.

At my request Aaron Tomlin spearheaded that effort with the goal to not introduce any functional at all during that endeavour. The penalty for the split is +1322 bytes total, +112 bytes in data, +1210 bytes in text while bss is unchanged. One of the benefits of this other than helping make the code easier to read and review is summoning more help on review for changes with livepatching so kernel/module/livepatch.c is now pegged as maintained by the live patching folks.

There are three reasons why an architecture might want this: a) On some architectures (like book3s/32) it is not possible to protect against execution on a page basis. The exec stuff can be mapped by different arch segment sizes (on book3s/32 that is 256M segments). By default the module area is in an Exec segment while vmalloc area is in a NoExec segment. Using vmalloc lets you muck with module data as NoExec on those architectures whereas before you could not. b) By pushing more module data to vmalloc you also increase the probability of module text to remain within a closer distance from kernel core text and this reduces trampolines, this has been reported on arm first and powerpc folks are following that lead. c) Free'ing module_alloc() (Exec by default) area leaves this exposed as Exec by default, some architectures have some security enhancements to set this as NoExec on free, and splitting module data with text let's future generic special allocators be added to the kernel without having developers try to grok the tribal knowledge per arch. Work like Rick Edgecombe's permission vmalloc interface [0] becomes easier to address over time.

* module: add in-kernel support for decompressingDmitry Torokhov2022-01-111-0/+1
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Current scheme of having userspace decompress kernel modules before loading them into the kernel runs afoul of LoadPin security policy, as it loses link between the source of kernel module on the disk and binary blob that is being loaded into the kernel. To solve this issue let's implement decompression in kernel, so that we can pass a file descriptor of compressed module file into finit_module() which will keep LoadPin happy. To let userspace know what compression/decompression scheme kernel supports it will create /sys/module/compression attribute. kmod can read this attribute and decide if it can pass compressed file to finit_module(). New MODULE_INIT_COMPRESSED_DATA flag indicates that the kernel should attempt to decompress the data read from file descriptor prior to trying load the module. To simplify things kernel will only implement single decompression method matching compression method selected when generating modules. This patch implements gzip and xz; more can be added later, Signed-off-by: Dmitry Torokhov <dmitry.torokhov@gmail.com> Signed-off-by: Luis Chamberlain <mcgrof@kernel.org>

* kbuild: update config_data.gz only when the content of .config is changedMasahiro Yamada2021-05-021-2/+7
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | If the timestamp of the .config file is updated, config_data.gz is regenerated, then vmlinux is re-linked. This occurs even if the content of the .config has not changed at all. This issue was mitigated by commit 67424f61f813 ("kconfig: do not write .config if the content is the same"); Kconfig does not update the .config when it ends up with the identical configuration. The issue is remaining when the .config is created by *_defconfig with some config fragment(s) applied on top. This is typical for powerpc and mips, where several *_defconfig targets are constructed by using merge_config.sh. One workaround is to have the copy of the .config. The filechk rule updates the copy, kernel/config_data, by checking the content instead of the timestamp. With this commit, the second run with the same configuration avoids the needless rebuilds. $ make ARCH=mips defconfig all [ snip ] $ make ARCH=mips defconfig all *** Default configuration is based on target '32r2el_defconfig' Using ./arch/mips/configs/generic_defconfig as base Merging arch/mips/configs/generic/32r2.config Merging arch/mips/configs/generic/el.config Merging ./arch/mips/configs/generic/board-boston.config Merging ./arch/mips/configs/generic/board-ni169445.config Merging ./arch/mips/configs/generic/board-ocelot.config Merging ./arch/mips/configs/generic/board-ranchu.config Merging ./arch/mips/configs/generic/board-sead-3.config Merging ./arch/mips/configs/generic/board-xilfpga.config # # configuration written to .config # SYNC include/config/auto.conf CALL scripts/checksyscalls.sh CALL scripts/atomic/check-atomics.sh CHK include/generated/compile.h CHK include/generated/autoksyms.h Reported-by: Elliot Berman <eberman@codeaurora.org> Signed-off-by: Masahiro Yamada <masahiroy@kernel.org>
* add support for Clang CFISami Tolvanen2021-04-081-0/+4
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | This change adds support for Clang’s forward-edge Control Flow Integrity (CFI) checking. With CONFIG_CFI_CLANG, the compiler injects a runtime check before each indirect function call to ensure the target is a valid function with the correct static type. This restricts possible call targets and makes it more difficult for an attacker to exploit bugs that allow the modification of stored function pointers. For more details, see: https://clang.llvm.org/docs/ControlFlowIntegrity.html Clang requires CONFIG_LTO_CLANG to be enabled with CFI to gain visibility to possible call targets. Kernel modules are supported with Clang’s cross-DSO CFI mode, which allows checking between independently compiled components. With CFI enabled, the compiler injects a __cfi_check() function into the kernel and each module for validating local call targets. For cross-module calls that cannot be validated locally, the compiler calls the global __cfi_slowpath_diag() function, which determines the target module and calls the correct __cfi_check() function. This patch includes a slowpath implementation that uses __module_address() to resolve call targets, and with CONFIG_CFI_CLANG_SHADOW enabled, a shadow map that speeds up module look-ups by ~3x. Clang implements indirect call checking using jump tables and offers two methods of generating them. With canonical jump tables, the compiler renames each address-taken function to <function>.cfi and points the original symbol to a jump table entry, which passes __cfi_check() validation. This isn’t compatible with stand-alone assembly code, which the compiler doesn’t instrument, and would result in indirect calls to assembly code to fail. Therefore, we default to using non-canonical jump tables instead, where the compiler generates a local jump table entry <function>.cfi_jt for each address-taken function, and replaces all references to the function with the address of the jump table entry. Note that because non-canonical jump table addresses are local to each component, they break cross-module function address equality. Specifically, the address of a global function will be different in each module, as it's replaced with the address of a local jump table entry. If this address is passed to a different module, it won’t match the address of the same function taken there. This may break code that relies on comparing addresses passed from other components. CFI checking can be disabled in a function with the __nocfi attribute. Additionally, CFI can be disabled for an entire compilation unit by filtering out CC_FLAGS_CFI. By default, CFI failures result in a kernel panic to stop a potential exploit. CONFIG_CFI_PERMISSIVE enables a permissive mode, where the kernel prints out a rate-limited warning instead, and allows execution to continue. This option is helpful for locating type mismatches, but should only be enabled during development.

* kcmp: Support selection of SYS_kcmp without CHECKPOINT_RESTOREChris Wilson2021-02-161-1/+1
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Userspace has discovered the functionality offered by SYS_kcmp and has started to depend upon it. In particular, Mesa uses SYS_kcmp for os_same_file_description() in order to identify when two fd (e.g. device or dmabuf) point to the same struct file. Since they depend on it for core functionality, lift SYS_kcmp out of the non-default CONFIG_CHECKPOINT_RESTORE into the selectable syscall category. Rasmus Villemoes also pointed out that systemd uses SYS_kcmp to deduplicate the per-service file descriptor store. Note that some distributions such as Ubuntu are already enabling CHECKPOINT_RESTORE in their configs and so, by extension, SYS_kcmp.

| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Both KCOV and UBSAN use compiler instrumentation. If UBSAN detects a bug in KCOV, it may cause infinite recursion via printk and other common functions. We already don't instrument KCOV with KASAN/KCSAN for this reason, don't instrument it with UBSAN as well. As a side effect this also resolves the following gcc warning: conflicting types for built-in function '__sanitizer_cov_trace_switch'; expected 'void(long unsigned int, void *)' [-Wbuiltin-declaration-mismatch] It's only reported when kcov.c is compiled with any of the sanitizers enabled. Size of the arguments is correct, it's just that gcc uses 'long' on 64-bit arches and 'long long' on 32-bit arches, while kernel type is always 'long long'.

(Ge)netlink core performs request validation according to declared policies. Expand the expressiveness of those policies (min/max length and bitmasks). Allow dumping policies for particular commands. This is used for feature discovery by user space (instead of kernel version parsing or trial and error). - Support IGMPv3/MLDv2 multicast listener discovery protocols in bridge. - Allow more than 255 IPv4 multicast interfaces. - Add support for Type of Service (ToS) reflection in SYN/SYN-ACK packets of TCPv6. - In Multi-patch TCP (MPTCP) support concurrent transmission of data on multiple subflows in a load balancing scenario. Enhance advertising addresses via the RM_ADDR/ADD_ADDR options. - Support SMC-Dv2 version of SMC, which enables multi-subnet deployments. - Allow more calls to same peer in RxRPC. - Support two new Controller Area Network (CAN) protocols - CAN-FD and ISO 15765-2:2016. - Add xfrm/IPsec compat layer, solving the 32bit user space on 64bit kernel problem. - Add TC actions for implementing MPLS L2 VPNs. - Improve nexthop code - e.g. handle various corner cases when nexthop objects are removed from groups better, skip unnecessary notifications and make it easier to offload nexthops into HW by converting to a blocking notifier. - Support adding and consuming TCP header options by BPF programs, opening the doors for easy experimental and deployment-specific TCP option use. - Reorganize TCP congestion control (CC) initialization to simplify life of TCP CC implemented in BPF. - Add support for shipping BPF programs with the kernel and loading them early on boot via the User Mode Driver mechanism, hence reusing all the user space infra we have. - Support sleepable BPF programs, initially targeting LSM and tracing. - Add bpf_d_path() helper for returning full path for given 'struct path'. - Make bpf_tail_call compatible with bpf-to-bpf calls. - Allow BPF programs to call map_update_elem on sockmaps. - Add BPF Type Format (BTF) support for type and enum discovery, as well as support for using BTF within the kernel itself (current use is for pretty printing structures). - Support listing and getting information about bpf_links via the bpf syscall. - Enhance kernel interfaces around NIC firmware update. Allow specifying overwrite mask to control if settings etc. are reset during update; report expected max time operation may take to users; support firmware activation without machine reboot incl. limits of how much impact reset may have (e.g. dropping link or not). - Extend ethtool configuration interface to report IEEE-standard counters, to limit the need for per-vendor logic in user space. - Adopt or extend devlink use for debug, monitoring, fw update in many drivers (dsa loop, ice, ionic, sja1105, qed, mlxsw, mv88e6xxx, dpaa2-eth). - In mlxsw expose critical and emergency SFP module temperature alarms. Refactor port buffer handling to make the defaults more suitable and support setting these values explicitly via the DCBNL interface. - Add XDP support for Intel's igb driver. - Support offloading TC flower classification and filtering rules to mscc_ocelot switches. - Add PTP support for Marvell Octeontx2 and PP2.2 hardware, as well as fixed interval period pulse generator and one-step timestamping in dpaa-eth. - Add support for various auth offloads in WiFi APs, e.g. SAE (WPA3) offload. - Add Lynx PHY/PCS MDIO module, and convert various drivers which have this HW to use it. Convert mvpp2 to split PCS. - Support Marvell Prestera 98DX3255 24-port switch ASICs, as well as 7-port Mediatek MT7531 IP. - Add initial support for QCA6390 and IPQ6018 in ath11k WiFi driver, and wcn3680 support in wcn36xx. - Improve performance for packets which don't require much offloads on recent Mellanox NICs by 20% by making multiple packets share a descriptor entry. - Move chelsio inline crypto drivers (for TLS and IPsec) from the crypto subtree to drivers/net. Move MDIO drivers out of the phy directory. - Clean up a lot of W=1 warnings, reportedly the actively developed subsections of networking drivers should now build W=1 warning free. - Make sure drivers don't use in_interrupt() to dynamically adapt their code.

* / static_call: Add inline static call infrastructureJosh Poimboeuf2020-09-011-0/+1
|/ | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Add infrastructure for an arch-specific CONFIG_HAVE_STATIC_CALL_INLINE option, which is a faster version of CONFIG_HAVE_STATIC_CALL. At runtime, the static call sites are patched directly, rather than using the out-of-line trampolines. Compared to out-of-line static calls, the performance benefits are more modest, but still measurable.

We have been warning about people using the sysctl system call for years and believe there are no more users. Even if there are users of this interface if they have not complained or fixed their code by now they probably are not going to, so there is no point in warning them any longer. So completely remove sys_sysctl on all architectures.

This saves a compiler invocation to determine if the option is supported. Because Clang does not support -fno-conserve-stack, and -fno-stack-protector was wrapped in the same cc-option, we were missing -fno-stack-protector with Clang.

| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Two new helpers: given a process and regset, dump into a buffer. regset_get() takes a buffer and size, regset_get_alloc() takes size and allocates a buffer. Return value in both cases is the amount of data actually dumped in case of success or -E... on error. In both cases the size is capped by regset->n * regset->size, so ->get() is called with offset 0 and size no more than what regset expects. binfmt_elf.c callers of ->get() are switched to using those; the other caller (copy_regset_to_user()) will need some preparations to switch.

Thanks to Debarshi Ray, we do have a pull request to use this to fix a problem with gnome-online-accounts - as mentioned last time: https://gitlab.gnome.org/GNOME/gnome-online-accounts/merge_requests/47 Without this, g-o-a has to constantly poll a keyring-based kerberos cache to find out if kinit has changed anything. [ There are other notification pending: mount/sb fsinfo notifications for libmount that Karel Zak and Ian Kent have been working on, and Christian Brauner would like to use them in lxc, but let's see how this one works first ] LSM hooks are included: - A set of hooks are provided that allow an LSM to rule on whether or not a watch may be set. Each of these hooks takes a different "watched object" parameter, so they're not really shareable. The LSM should use current's credentials. [Wanted by SELinux & Smack] - A hook is provided to allow an LSM to rule on whether or not a particular message may be posted to a particular queue. This is given the credentials from the event generator (which may be the system) and the watch setter. [Wanted by Smack] I've provided SELinux and Smack with implementations of some of these hooks. WHY === Key/keyring notifications are desirable because if you have your kerberos tickets in a file/directory, your Gnome desktop will monitor that using something like fanotify and tell you if your credentials cache changes. However, we also have the ability to cache your kerberos tickets in the session, user or persistent keyring so that it isn't left around on disk across a reboot or logout. Keyrings, however, cannot currently be monitored asynchronously, so the desktop has to poll for it - not so good on a laptop. This facility will allow the desktop to avoid the need to poll. DESIGN DECISIONS ================ - The notification queue is built on top of a standard pipe. Messages are effectively spliced in. The pipe is opened with a special flag: pipe2(fds, O_NOTIFICATION_PIPE); The special flag has the same value as O_EXCL (which doesn't seem like it will ever be applicable in this context)[?]. It is given up front to make it a lot easier to prohibit splice&co from accessing the pipe. [?] Should this be done some other way? I'd rather not use up a new O_* flag if I can avoid it - should I add a pipe3() system call instead? The pipe is then configured:: ioctl(fds[1], IOC_WATCH_QUEUE_SET_SIZE, queue_depth); ioctl(fds[1], IOC_WATCH_QUEUE_SET_FILTER, &filter); Messages are then read out of the pipe using read(). - It should be possible to allow write() to insert data into the notification pipes too, but this is currently disabled as the kernel has to be able to insert messages into the pipe *without* holding pipe->mutex and the code to make this work needs careful auditing. - sendfile(), splice() and vmsplice() are disabled on notification pipes because of the pipe->mutex issue and also because they sometimes want to revert what they just did - but one or more notification messages might've been interleaved in the ring. - The kernel inserts messages with the wait queue spinlock held. This means that pipe_read() and pipe_write() have to take the spinlock to update the queue pointers. - Records in the buffer are binary, typed and have a length so that they can be of varying size. This allows multiple heterogeneous sources to share a common buffer; there are 16 million types available, of which I've used just a few, so there is scope for others to be used. Tags may be specified when a watchpoint is created to help distinguish the sources. - Records are filterable as types have up to 256 subtypes that can be individually filtered. Other filtration is also available. - Notification pipes don't interfere with each other; each may be bound to a different set of watches. Any particular notification will be copied to all the queues that are currently watching for it - and only those that are watching for it. - When recording a notification, the kernel will not sleep, but will rather mark a queue as having lost a message if there's insufficient space. read() will fabricate a loss notification message at an appropriate point later. - The notification pipe is created and then watchpoints are attached to it, using one of: keyctl_watch_key(KEY_SPEC_SESSION_KEYRING, fds[1], 0x01); watch_mount(AT_FDCWD, "/", 0, fd, 0x02); watch_sb(AT_FDCWD, "/mnt", 0, fd, 0x03); where in both cases, fd indicates the queue and the number after is a tag between 0 and 255. - Watches are removed if either the notification pipe is destroyed or the watched object is destroyed. In the latter case, a message will be generated indicating the enforced watch removal. Things I want to avoid: - Introducing features that make the core VFS dependent on the network stack or networking namespaces (ie. usage of netlink). - Dumping all this stuff into dmesg and having a daemon that sits there parsing the output and distributing it as this then puts the responsibility for security into userspace and makes handling namespaces tricky. Further, dmesg might not exist or might be inaccessible inside a container. - Letting users see events they shouldn't be able to see. TESTING AND MANPAGES ==================== - The keyutils tree has a pipe-watch branch that has keyctl commands for making use of notifications. Proposed manual pages can also be found on this branch, though a couple of them really need to go to the main manpages repository instead. If the kernel supports the watching of keys, then running "make test" on that branch will cause the testing infrastructure to spawn a monitoring process on the side that monitors a notifications pipe for all the key/keyring changes induced by the tests and they'll all be checked off to make sure they happened. https://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/dhowells/keyutils.git/log/?h=pipe-watch - A test program is provided (samples/watch_queue/watch_test) that can be used to monitor for keyrings, mount and superblock events.
