| | | | | | | | | | | Switch from __ARCH_WANT_SYS_RT_SIGACTION to opposite (!CONFIG_ODD_RT_SIGACTION); the only two architectures that need it are alpha and sparc. The reason for use of CONFIG_... instead of __ARCH_... is that it's needed only kernel-side and doing it that way avoids a mess with include order on many architectures.

| * xen: Fix stack corruption in xen_failsafe_callback for 32bit PVOPS guests.Andrew Cooper2013-01-161-1/+0
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | This fixes CVE-2013-0190 / XSA-40 There has been an error on the xen_failsafe_callback path for failed iret, which causes the stack pointer to be wrong when entering the iret_exc error path. This can result in the kernel crashing. In the classic kernel case, the relevant code looked a little like: popl %eax # Error code from hypervisor jz 5f addl $16,%esp jmp iret_exc # Hypervisor said iret fault 5: addl $16,%esp # Hypervisor said segment selector fault Here, there are two identical addls on either option of a branch which appears to have been optimised by hoisting it above the jz, and converting it to an lea, which leaves the flags register unaffected. In the PVOPS case, the code looks like: popl_cfi %eax # Error from the hypervisor lea 16(%esp),%esp # Add $16 before choosing fault path CFI_ADJUST_CFA_OFFSET -16 jz 5f addl $16,%esp # Incorrectly adjust %esp again jmp iret_exc It is possible unprivileged userspace applications to cause this behaviour, for example by loading an LDT code selector, then changing the code selector to be not-present. At this point, there is a race condition where it is possible for the hypervisor to return back to userspace from an interrupt, fault on its own iret, and inject a failsafe_callback into the kernel. This bug has been present since the introduction of Xen PVOPS support in commit 5ead97c84 (xen: Core Xen implementation), in 2.6.23.

Async page fault is different from other exceptions that it may be triggered from idle process, so we still need rcu_irq_enter() and rcu_irq_exit() to exit cpu idle eqs when needed, to protect the code that needs use rcu. As Frederic pointed out it would be safest and simplest to protect the whole kvm_async_pf_task_wait(). Otherwise, "we need to check all the code there deeply for potential RCU uses and ensure it will never be extended later to use RCU.". However, We'd better re-enter the cpu idle eqs if we get the exception in cpu idle eqs, by calling rcu_irq_exit() before native_safe_halt(). So the patch does what Frederic suggested for rcu_irq_*() API usage here, except that I moved the rcu_irq_*() pair originally in do_async_page_fault() into kvm_async_pf_task_wait(). That's because, I think it's better to have rcu_irq_*() pairs to be in one function ( rcu_irq_exit() after rcu_irq_enter() ), especially here, kvm_async_pf_task_wait() has other callers, which might cause rcu_irq_exit() be called without a matching rcu_irq_enter() before it, which is illegal if the cpu happens to be in rcu idle state.

Based on patches originally written by Bill Pemberton, but redone by me in order to handle some of the coding style issues better, by hand.

This interface clears a flag set by debug_dma_map_page() to indicate that dma_mapping_error() has been called by the driver. When driver does unmap, debug_dma_unmap() checks the flag and if this flag is still set, prints warning message that includes call trace that leads up to the unmap. This interface can be called from dma_mapping_error() routines to enable dma mapping error check debugging.

Since the init_module syscall hands the kernel a module as a memory blob, no reasoning about the origin of the blob can be made. Earlier proposals for appending signatures to kernel modules would not be useful in Chrome OS, since it would involve adding an additional set of keys to our kernel and builds for no good reason: we already trust the contents of our root filesystem. We don't need to verify those kernel modules a second time. Having to do signature checking on module loading would slow us down and be redundant. All we need to know is where a module is coming from so we can say yes/no to loading it. If a file descriptor is used as the source of a kernel module, many more things can be reasoned about. In Chrome OS's case, we could enforce that the module lives on the filesystem we expect it to live on. In the case of IMA (or other LSMs), it would be possible, for example, to examine extended attributes that may contain signatures over the contents of the module. This introduces a new syscall (on x86), similar to init_module, that has only two arguments. The first argument is used as a file descriptor to the module and the second argument is a pointer to the NULL terminated string of module arguments.

In almost all respects balancenuma is the dumbest of the three because its main impact is on the VM side with no attempt to be smart about scheduling. In the interest of getting the ball rolling, it would be desirable to see this much merged for 3.8 with the view to building scheduler smarts on top and adapting the VM where required for 3.9. The most recent set of comparisons available from different people are mel: https://lkml.org/lkml/2012/12/9/108 mingo: https://lkml.org/lkml/2012/12/7/331 tglx: https://lkml.org/lkml/2012/12/10/437 srikar: https://lkml.org/lkml/2012/12/10/397 The results are a mixed bag. In my own tests, balancenuma does reasonably well. It's dumb as rocks and does not regress against mainline. On the other hand, Ingo's tests shows that balancenuma is incapable of converging for this workloads driven by perf which is bad but is potentially explained by the lack of scheduler smarts. Thomas' results show balancenuma improves on mainline but falls far short of numacore or autonuma. Srikar's results indicate we all suffer on a large machine with imbalanced node sizes. My own testing showed that recent numacore results have improved dramatically, particularly in the last week but not universally. We've butted heads heavily on system CPU usage and high levels of migration even when it shows that overall performance is better. There are also cases where it regresses. Of interest is that for specjbb in some configurations it will regress for lower numbers of warehouses and show gains for higher numbers which is not reported by the tool by default and sometimes missed in treports. Recently I reported for numacore that the JVM was crashing with NullPointerExceptions but currently it's unclear what the source of this problem is. Initially I thought it was in how numacore batch handles PTEs but I'm no longer think this is the case. It's possible numacore is just able to trigger it due to higher rates of migration. These reports were quite late in the cycle so I/we would like to start with this tree as it contains much of the code we can agree on and has not changed significantly over the last 2-3 weeks." * tag 'balancenuma-v11' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/mel/linux-balancenuma: (50 commits) mm/rmap, migration: Make rmap_walk_anon() and try_to_unmap_anon() more scalable mm/rmap: Convert the struct anon_vma::mutex to an rwsem mm: migrate: Account a transhuge page properly when rate limiting mm: numa: Account for failed allocations and isolations as migration failures mm: numa: Add THP migration for the NUMA working set scanning fault case build fix mm: numa: Add THP migration for the NUMA working set scanning fault case. mm: sched: numa: Delay PTE scanning until a task is scheduled on a new node mm: sched: numa: Control enabling and disabling of NUMA balancing if !SCHED_DEBUG mm: sched: numa: Control enabling and disabling of NUMA balancing mm: sched: Adapt the scanning rate if a NUMA hinting fault does not migrate mm: numa: Use a two-stage filter to restrict pages being migrated for unlikely task<->node relationships mm: numa: migrate: Set last_nid on newly allocated page mm: numa: split_huge_page: Transfer last_nid on tail page mm: numa: Introduce last_nid to the page frame sched: numa: Slowly increase the scanning period as NUMA faults are handled mm: numa: Rate limit setting of pte_numa if node is saturated mm: numa: Rate limit the amount of memory that is migrated between nodes mm: numa: Structures for Migrate On Fault per NUMA migration rate limiting mm: numa: Migrate pages handled during a pmd_numa hinting fault mm: numa: Migrate on reference policy ...

This patch creates a bare-bones method for setting PTEs pte_numa in the context of the scheduler that when faulted later will be faulted onto the node the CPU is running on. In itself this does nothing useful but any placement policy will fundamentally depend on receiving hints on placement from fault context and doing something intelligent about it.
