f09d90864e livepatch: make object/func-walking helpers more robust
Current object-walking helper checks the presence of obj->funcs to
determine the end of objs array in klp_object structure. This is
somewhat fragile because one can easily forget about funcs definition
during livepatch creation. In such a case the livepatch module is
successfully loaded and all objects after the incorrect one are omitted.
This is very confusing. Let's make the helper more robust and check also
for the other external member, name. Thus the helper correctly stops on
an empty item of the array. We need to have a check for obj->funcs in
klp_init_object() to make it work.

The same applies to a func-walking helper.

As a benefit we'll check for new_func member definition during the
livepatch initialization. There is no such check anywhere in the code
now.

33fddff24d tracing: Have trace_buffer_unlock_commit() call the _regs version with NULL
There's no real difference between trace_buffer_unlock_commit() and
trace_buffer_unlock_commit_regs() except that the former passes NULL to
ftrace_stack_trace() instead of regs. Have the former be a static inline of
the latter which passes NULL for regs.

bdab42dfc9 kcov: don't trace the code coverage code
Kcov causes the compiler to add a call to __sanitizer_cov_trace_pc() in
every basic block.  Ftrace patches in a call to _mcount() to each
function it has annotated.

Letting these mechanisms annotate each other is a bad thing.  Break the
loop by adding 'notrace' to __sanitizer_cov_trace_pc() so that ftrace
won't try to patch this code.

d7f53518f7 kexec: export OFFSET(page.compound_head) to find out compound tail page
PageAnon() always look at head page to check PAGE_MAPPING_ANON and tail
page's page->mapping has just a poisoned data since commit 1c290f6421
("mm: sanitize page->mapping for tail pages").

If makedumpfile checks page->mapping of a compound tail page to
distinguish anonymous page as usual, it must fail in newer kernel.  So
it's necessary to export OFFSET(page.compound_head) to avoid checking
compound tail pages.

The problem is that unnecessary hugepages won't be removed from a dump
file in kernels 4.5.x and later.  This means that extra disk space would
be consumed.  It's a problem, but not critical.

8639a847b0 kexec: update VMCOREINFO for compound_order/dtor
makedumpfile refers page.lru.next to get the order of compound pages for
page filtering.

However, now the order is stored in page.compound_order, hence
VMCOREINFO should be updated to export the offset of
page.compound_order.

The fact is, page.compound_order was introduced already in kernel 4.0,
but the offset of it was the same as page.lru.next until kernel 4.3, so
this was not actual problem.

The above can be said also for page.lru.prev and page.compound_dtor,
it's necessary to detect hugetlbfs pages.  Further, the content was
changed from direct address to the ID which means dtor.

The problem is that unnecessary hugepages won't be removed from a dump
file in kernels 4.4.x and later.  This means that extra disk space would
be consumed.  It's a problem, but not critical.

f6cf0545ec PM / Hibernate: Call flush_icache_range() on pages restored in-place
Some architectures require code written to memory as if it were data to be
'cleaned' from any data caches before the processor can fetch them as new
instructions.

During resume from hibernate, the snapshot code copies some pages directly,
meaning these architectures do not get a chance to perform their cache
maintenance. Modify the read and decompress code to call
flush_icache_range() on all pages that are restored, so that the restored
in-place pages are guaranteed to be executable on these architectures.

594dd290cf sched/cpufreq: Optimize cpufreq update kicker to avoid update multiple times
Sometimes delta_exec is 0 due to update_curr() is called multiple times,
this is captured by:

	u64 delta_exec = rq_clock_task(rq) - curr->se.exec_start;

This patch optimizes the cpufreq update kicker by bailing out when nothing
changed, it will benefit the upcoming schedutil, since otherwise it will
(over)react to the special util/max combination.

79c9ce57eb perf/core: Fix perf_event_open() vs. execve() race
Jann reported that the ptrace_may_access() check in
find_lively_task_by_vpid() is racy against exec().

Specifically:

  perf_event_open()		execve()

  ptrace_may_access()
				commit_creds()
  ...				if (get_dumpable() != SUID_DUMP_USER)
				  perf_event_exit_task();
  perf_install_in_context()

would result in installing a counter across the creds boundary.

Fix this by wrapping lots of perf_event_open() in cred_guard_mutex.
This should be fine as perf_event_exit_task() is already called with
cred_guard_mutex held, so all perf locks already nest inside it.

2548d546d4 nohz/full, sched/rt: Fix missed tick-reenabling bug in sched_can_stop_tick()
Chris Metcalf reported a that sched_can_stop_tick() sometimes fails to
re-enable the tick.

His observed problem is that rq->cfs.nr_running can be 1 even though
there are multiple runnable CFS tasks. This happens in the cgroup
case, in which case cfs.nr_running is the number of runnable entities
for that level.

If there is a single runnable cgroup (which can have an arbitrary
number of runnable child entries itself) rq->cfs.nr_running will be 1.

However, looking at that function I think there's more problems with it.

It seems to assume that if there's FIFO tasks, those will run. This is
incorrect. The FIFO task can have a lower prio than an RR task, in which
case the RR task will run.

So the whole fifo_nr_running test seems misplaced, it should go after
the rr_nr_running tests. That is, only if !rr_nr_running, can we use
fifo_nr_running like this.

Pull workqueue fix from Tejun Heo:
 "So, it turns out we had a silly bug in the most fundamental part of
  workqueue for a very long time.  AFAICS, this dates back to pre-git
  era and has quite likely been there from the time workqueue was first
  introduced.

  A work item uses its PENDING bit to synchronize multiple queuers.
  Anyone who wins the PENDING bit owns the pending state of the work
  item.  Whether a queuer wins or loses the race, one thing should be
  guaranteed - there will soon be at least one execution of the work
  item - where "after" means that the execution instance would be able
  to see all the changes that the queuer has made prior to the queueing
  attempt.

  Unfortunately, we were missing a smp_mb() after clearing PENDING for
  execution, so nothing guaranteed visibility of the changes that a
  queueing loser has made, which manifested as a reproducible blk-mq
  stall.

  Lots of kudos to Roman for debugging the problem.  The patch for
  -stable is the minimal one.  For v3.7, Peter is working on a patch to
  make the code path slightly more efficient and less fragile"

c5dfd78eb7 perf core: Allow setting up max frame stack depth via sysctl
The default remains 127, which is good for most cases, and not even hit
most of the time, but then for some cases, as reported by Brendan, 1024+
deep frames are appearing on the radar for things like groovy, ruby.

And in some workloads putting a _lower_ cap on this may make sense. One
that is per event still needs to be put in place tho.

The new file is:

  # cat /proc/sys/kernel/perf_event_max_stack
  127

Chaging it:

  # echo 256 > /proc/sys/kernel/perf_event_max_stack
  # cat /proc/sys/kernel/perf_event_max_stack
  256

But as soon as there is some event using callchains we get:

  # echo 512 > /proc/sys/kernel/perf_event_max_stack
  -bash: echo: write error: Device or resource busy
  #

Because we only allocate the callchain percpu data structures when there
is a user, which allows for changing the max easily, its just a matter
of having no callchain users at that point.

Along with __event_trigger_test_discard() that is only used by them.

7132e2d669 ftrace: Match dot symbols when searching functions on ppc64
In the ppc64 big endian ABI, function symbols point to function
descriptors. The symbols which point to the function entry points
have a dot in front of the function name. Consequently, when the
ftrace filter mechanism searches for the symbol corresponding to
an entry point address, it gets the dot symbol.

As a result, ftrace filter users have to be aware of this ABI detail on
ppc64 and prepend a dot to the function name when setting the filter.

The perf probe command insulates the user from this by ignoring the dot
in front of the symbol name when matching function names to symbols,
but the sysfs interface does not. This patch makes the ftrace filter
mechanism do the same when searching symbols.

Fixes the following failure in ftracetest's kprobe_ftrace.tc:

  .../kprobe_ftrace.tc: line 9: echo: write error: Invalid argument

That failure is on this line of kprobe_ftrace.tc:

  echo _do_fork > set_ftrace_filter

This is because there's no _do_fork entry in the functions list:

  # cat available_filter_functions | grep _do_fork
  ._do_fork

This change introduces no regressions on the perf and ftracetest
testsuite results.

8358b02bf6 bpf: fix double-fdput in replace_map_fd_with_map_ptr()
When bpf(BPF_PROG_LOAD, ...) was invoked with a BPF program whose bytecode
references a non-map file descriptor as a map file descriptor, the error
handling code called fdput() twice instead of once (in __bpf_map_get() and
in replace_map_fd_with_map_ptr()). If the file descriptor table of the
current task is shared, this causes f_count to be decremented too much,
allowing the struct file to be freed while it is still in use
(use-after-free). This can be exploited to gain root privileges by an
unprivileged user.

This bug was introduced in
commit 0246e64d9a ("bpf: handle pseudo BPF_LD_IMM64 insn"), but is only
exploitable since
commit 1be7f75d16 ("bpf: enable non-root eBPF programs") because
previously, CAP_SYS_ADMIN was required to reach the vulnerable code.

The underlying device is a null_blk, with default parameters:

  queue_mode    = MQ
  submit_queues = 1

Verification that nullb0 has something inflight:

root@pserver8:~# cat /sys/block/nullb0/inflight
       0        1
root@pserver8:~# find /sys/block/nullb0/mq/0/cpu* -name rq_list -print -exec cat {} \;
...
/sys/block/nullb0/mq/0/cpu2/rq_list
CTX pending:
        ffff8838038e2400
...

During debug it became clear that stalled request is always inserted in
the rq_list from the following path:

   save_stack_trace_tsk + 34
   blk_mq_insert_requests + 231
   blk_mq_flush_plug_list + 281
   blk_flush_plug_list + 199
   wait_on_page_bit + 192
   __filemap_fdatawait_range + 228
   filemap_fdatawait_range + 20
   filemap_write_and_wait_range + 63
   blkdev_fsync + 27
   vfs_fsync_range + 73
   blkdev_write_iter + 202
   __vfs_write + 170
   vfs_write + 169
   kernel_write + 56

So blk_flush_plug_list() was called with from_schedule == true.

If from_schedule is true, that means that finally blk_mq_insert_requests()
offloads execution of __blk_mq_run_hw_queue() and uses kblockd workqueue,
i.e. it calls kblockd_schedule_delayed_work_on().

That means, that we race with another CPU, which is about to execute
__blk_mq_run_hw_queue() work.

Further debugging shows the following traces from different CPUs:

  CPU#0                                  CPU#1
  ----------------------------------     -------------------------------
  reqeust A inserted
  STORE hctx->ctx_map[0] bit marked
  kblockd_schedule...() returns 1
  <schedule to kblockd workqueue>
                                         request B inserted
                                         STORE hctx->ctx_map[1] bit marked
                                         kblockd_schedule...() returns 0
  *** WORK PENDING bit is cleared ***
  flush_busy_ctxs() is executed, but
  bit 1, set by CPU#1, is not observed

As a result request B pended forever.

This behaviour can be explained by speculative LOAD of hctx->ctx_map on
CPU#0, which is reordered with clear of PENDING bit and executed _before_
actual STORE of bit 1 on CPU#1.

The proper fix is an explicit full barrier <mfence>, which guarantees
that clear of PENDING bit is to be executed before all possible
speculative LOADS or STORES inside actual work function.

6e4cf657de tracing: Handle tracing_map_alloc_elts() error path correctly
If tracing_map_elt_alloc() fails, it will return ERR_PTR() instead of
NULL, so change the check to IS_ERROR().  We also need to set the
failed entry in the map->elts array to NULL instead of ERR_PTR() so
tracing_map_free_elts() doesn't try freeing an ERR_PTR().

tracing_map_free_elts() should also zero out what it frees so a
reentrant call won't find previously freed elements.

c8585c6fca ext4: fix races between changing inode journal mode and ext4_writepages
In ext4, there is a race condition between changing inode journal mode
and ext4_writepages(). While ext4_writepages() is executed on a
non-journalled mode inode, the inode's journal mode could be enabled
by ioctl() and then, some pages dirtied after switching the journal
mode will be still exposed to ext4_writepages() in non-journaled mode.
To resolve this problem, we use fs-wide per-cpu rw semaphore by Jan
Kara's suggestion because we don't want to waste ext4_inode_info's
space for this extra rare case.

5cf1cacb49 cgroup, cpuset: replace cpuset_post_attach_flush() with cgroup_subsys->post_attach callback
Since e93ad19d05 ("cpuset: make mm migration asynchronous"), cpuset
kicks off asynchronous NUMA node migration if necessary during task
migration and flushes it from cpuset_post_attach_flush() which is
called at the end of __cgroup_procs_write().  This is to avoid
performing migration with cgroup_threadgroup_rwsem write-locked which
can lead to deadlock through dependency on kworker creation.

memcg has a similar issue with charge moving, so let's convert it to
an official callback rather than the current one-off cpuset specific
function.  This patch adds cgroup_subsys->post_attach callback and
makes cpuset register cpuset_post_attach_flush() as its ->post_attach.

The conversion is mostly one-to-one except that the new callback is
called under cgroup_mutex.  This is to guarantee that no other
migration operations are started before ->post_attach callbacks are
finished.  cgroup_mutex is one of the outermost mutex in the system
and has never been and shouldn't be a problem.  We can add specialized
synchronization around __cgroup_procs_write() but I don't think
there's any noticeable benefit.

fec148c000 sched/deadline: Fix a bug in dl_overflow()
I got a minus(very big) dl_b->total_bw during my deadline tests.

    # grep dl /proc/sched_debug
    dl_rq[0]:
    .dl_nr_running                 : 0
    .dl_bw->bw                     : 996147
    .dl_bw->total_bw               : -222297900

Something unusual must have happened.

After some digging, I finally noticed that when changing a deadline
task to normal(cfs), and changing it back to deadline immediately,
after it died, we will got the wrong dl_bw->total_bw.

The root cause is in dl_overflow(), it has:
    if (new_bw == p->dl.dl_bw)
	return 0;

1) When a deadline task is changed to !deadline task, it will start
   dl timer in switched_from_dl(), and retain previous deadline parameter
   till the timer expires.

2) If we change it back to deadline with the same bandwidth parameter
   before the timer expires, as it keeps the old bandwidth although it
   is not a deadline task. dl_overflow() simply returns success without
   updating the right data, and got the wrong dl_bw->total_bw.

The solution is simple, if @p is not deadline, don't return.

   return immediately with no action taken. And that function is dead
   code.

For pure optimization purposes, lets conditionally build the NO_HZ
related code.

1f41906a6f sched/fair: Correctly handle nohz ticks CPU load accounting
Ticks can happen while the CPU is in dynticks-idle or dynticks-singletask
mode. In fact "nohz" or "dynticks" only mean that we exit the periodic
mode and we try to minimize the ticks as much as possible. The nohz
subsystem uses a confusing terminology with the internal state
"ts->tick_stopped" which is also available through its public interface
with tick_nohz_tick_stopped(). This is a misnomer as the tick is instead
reduced with the best effort rather than stopped. In the best case the
tick can indeed be actually stopped but there is no guarantee about that.
If a timer needs to fire one second later, a tick will fire while the
CPU is in nohz mode and this is a very common scenario.

Now this confusion happens to be a problem with CPU load updates:
cpu_load_update_active() doesn't handle nohz ticks correctly because it
assumes that ticks are completely stopped in nohz mode and that
cpu_load_update_active() can't be called in dynticks mode. When that
happens, the whole previous tickless load is ignored and the function
just records the load for the current tick, ignoring potentially long
idle periods behind.

In order to solve this, we could account the current load for the
previous nohz time but there is a risk that we account the load of a
task that got freshly enqueued for the whole nohz period.

So instead, lets record the dynticks load on nohz frame entry so we know
what to record in case of nohz ticks, then use this record to account
the tickless load on nohz ticks and nohz frame end.

cee1afce30 sched/fair: Gather CPU load functions under a more conventional namespace
The CPU load update related functions have a weak naming convention
currently, starting with update_cpu_load_*() which isn't ideal as
"update" is a very generic concept.

Since two of these functions are public already (and a third is to come)
that's enough to introduce a more conventional naming scheme. So let's
do the following rename instead:

	update_cpu_load_*() -> cpu_load_update_*()
