Pull exec-update-lock update from Eric Biederman: "The key point of this is to transform exec_update_mutex into a rw_semaphore so readers can be separated from writers. This makes it easier to understand what the holders of the lock are doing, and makes it harder to contend or deadlock on the lock. The real deadlock fix wound up in perf_event_open" * 'exec-update-lock-for-v5.11' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/ebiederm/user-namespace: exec: Transform exec_update_mutex into a rw_semaphore

Pull core entry/exit updates from Thomas Gleixner: "A set of updates for entry/exit handling: - More generalization of entry/exit functionality - The consolidation work to reclaim TIF flags on x86 and also for non-x86 specific TIF flags which are solely relevant for syscall related work and have been moved into their own storage space. The x86 specific part had to be merged in to avoid a major conflict. - The TIF_NOTIFY_SIGNAL work which replaces the inefficient signal delivery mode of task work and results in an impressive performance improvement for io_uring. The non-x86 consolidation of this is going to come seperate via Jens. - The selective syscall redirection facility which provides a clean and efficient way to support the non-Linux syscalls of WINE by catching them at syscall entry and redirecting them to the user space emulation. This can be utilized for other purposes as well and has been designed carefully to avoid overhead for the regular fastpath. This includes the core changes and the x86 support code. - Simplification of the context tracking entry/exit handling for the users of the generic entry code which guarantee the proper ordering and protection. - Preparatory changes to make the generic entry code accomodate S390 specific requirements which are mostly related to their syscall restart mechanism" * tag 'core-entry-2020-12-14' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/tip/tip: (36 commits) entry: Add syscall_exit_to_user_mode_work() entry: Add exit_to_user_mode() wrapper entry_Add_enter_from_user_mode_wrapper entry: Rename exit_to_user_mode() entry: Rename enter_from_user_mode() docs: Document Syscall User Dispatch selftests: Add benchmark for syscall user dispatch selftests: Add kselftest for syscall user dispatch entry: Support Syscall User Dispatch on common syscall entry kernel: Implement selective syscall userspace redirection signal: Expose SYS_USER_DISPATCH si_code type x86: vdso: Expose sigreturn address on vdso to the kernel MAINTAINERS: Add entry for common entry code entry: Fix boot for !CONFIG_GENERIC_ENTRY x86: Support HAVE_CONTEXT_TRACKING_OFFSTACK context_tracking: Only define schedule_user() on !HAVE_CONTEXT_TRACKING_OFFSTACK archs sched: Detect call to schedule from critical entry code context_tracking: Don't implement exception_enter/exit() on CONFIG_HAVE_CONTEXT_TRACKING_OFFSTACK context_tracking: Introduce HAVE_CONTEXT_TRACKING_OFFSTACK x86: Reclaim unused x86 TI flags ...

exec: Transform exec_update_mutex into a rw_semaphore

2020-12-10T19:13:32Z

Recently syzbot reported[0] that there is a deadlock amongst the users of exec_update_mutex. The problematic lock ordering found by lockdep was: perf_event_open (exec_update_mutex -> ovl_i_mutex) chown (ovl_i_mutex -> sb_writes) sendfile (sb_writes -> p->lock) by reading from a proc file and writing to overlayfs proc_pid_syscall (p->lock -> exec_update_mutex) While looking at possible solutions it occured to me that all of the users and possible users involved only wanted to state of the given process to remain the same. They are all readers. The only writer is exec. There is no reason for readers to block on each other. So fix this deadlock by transforming exec_update_mutex into a rw_semaphore named exec_update_lock that only exec takes for writing.

perf: Break deadlock involving exec_update_mutex

2020-12-09T16:08:57Z

Syzbot reported a lock inversion involving perf. The sore point being perf holding exec_update_mutex() for a very long time, specifically across a whole bunch of filesystem ops in pmu::event_init() (uprobes) and anon_inode_getfile(). This then inverts against procfs code trying to take exec_update_mutex. Move the permission checks later, such that we need to hold the mutex over less code.

perf/core: Fix arch_perf_get_page_size()

2020-12-03T09:14:51Z

The (new) page-table walker in arch_perf_get_page_size() is broken in various ways. Specifically while it is used in a lockless manner, it doesn't depend on CONFIG_HAVE_FAST_GUP nor uses the proper _lockless offset methods, nor is careful to only read each entry only once. Also the hugetlb support is broken due to calling pte_page() without first checking pte_special(). Rewrite the whole thing to be a proper lockless page-table walker and employ the new pXX_leaf_size() pgtable functions to determine the pagetable size without looking at the page-frames.

Further perf/core patches will depend on: d3f7b1bb2040 ("mm/gup: fix gup_fast with dynamic page table folding") which is already in Linus' tree.

perf: Tweak perf_event_attr::exclusive semantics

2020-11-09T17:12:36Z

Currently perf_event_attr::exclusive can be used to ensure an event(group) is the sole group scheduled on the PMU. One consequence is that when you have a pinned event (say the watchdog) you can no longer have regular exclusive event(group)s. Inspired by the fact that !pinned events are considered less strict, allow !pinned,exclusive events to share the PMU with pinned,!exclusive events. Pinned,exclusive is still fully exclusive.

perf: Fix event multiplexing for exclusive groups

2020-11-09T17:12:36Z

Commit 9e6302056f80 ("perf: Use hrtimers for event multiplexing") placed the hrtimer (re)start call in the wrong place. Instead of capturing all scheduling failures, it only considered the PMU failure. The result is that groups using perf_event_attr::exclusive are no longer rotated.
