trace: Fix preempt_enable_no_resched() abuse

2019-04-26T15:45:03Z

Unless the very next line is schedule(), or implies it, one must not use preempt_enable_no_resched(). It can cause a preemption to go missing and thereby cause arbitrary delays, breaking the PREEMPT=y invariant.

tracing: Fix a memory leak by early error exit in trace_pid_write()

2019-04-26T15:45:03Z

In trace_pid_write(), the buffer for trace parser is allocated through kmalloc() in trace_parser_get_init(). Later on, after the buffer is used, it is then freed through kfree() in trace_parser_put(). However, it is possible that trace_pid_write() is terminated due to unexpected errors, e.g., ENOMEM. In that case, the allocated buffer will not be freed, which is a memory leak bug. To fix this issue, free the allocated buffer when an error is encountered.

tracing: Fix buffer_ref pipe ops

2019-04-26T15:44:39Z

This fixes multiple issues in buffer_pipe_buf_ops: - The ->steal() handler must not return zero unless the pipe buffer has the only reference to the page. But generic_pipe_buf_steal() assumes that every reference to the pipe is tracked by the page's refcount, which isn't true for these buffers - buffer_pipe_buf_get(), which duplicates a buffer, doesn't touch the page's refcount. Fix it by using generic_pipe_buf_nosteal(), which refuses every attempted theft. It should be easy to actually support ->steal, but the only current users of pipe_buf_steal() are the virtio console and FUSE, and they also only use it as an optimization. So it's probably not worth the effort. - The ->get() and ->release() handlers can be invoked concurrently on pipe buffers backed by the same struct buffer_ref. Make them safe against concurrency by using refcount_t. - The pointers stored in ->private were only zeroed out when the last reference to the buffer_ref was dropped. As far as I know, this shouldn't be necessary anyway, but if we do it, let's always do it.

Merge branch 'page-refs' (page ref overflow)

2019-04-14T22:09:40Z

Merge page ref overflow branch. Jann Horn reported that he can overflow the page ref count with sufficient memory (and a filesystem that is intentionally extremely slow). Admittedly it's not exactly easy. To have more than four billion references to a page requires a minimum of 32GB of kernel memory just for the pointers to the pages, much less any metadata to keep track of those pointers. Jann needed a total of 140GB of memory and a specially crafted filesystem that leaves all reads pending (in order to not ever free the page references and just keep adding more). Still, we have a fairly straightforward way to limit the two obvious user-controllable sources of page references: direct-IO like page references gotten through get_user_pages(), and the splice pipe page duplication. So let's just do that. * branch page-refs: fs: prevent page refcount overflow in pipe_buf_get mm: prevent get_user_pages() from overflowing page refcount mm: add 'try_get_page()' helper function mm: make page ref count overflow check tighter and more explicit

fs: prevent page refcount overflow in pipe_buf_get

2019-04-14T17:00:04Z

Change pipe_buf_get() to return a bool indicating whether it succeeded in raising the refcount of the page (if the thing in the pipe is a page). This removes another mechanism for overflowing the page refcount. All callers converted to handle a failure.

syscalls: Remove start and number from syscall_get_arguments() args

2019-04-05T13:26:43Z

At Linux Plumbers, Andy Lutomirski approached me and pointed out that the function call syscall_get_arguments() implemented in x86 was horribly written and not optimized for the standard case of passing in 0 and 6 for the starting index and the number of system calls to get. When looking at all the users of this function, I discovered that all instances pass in only 0 and 6 for these arguments. Instead of having this function handle different cases that are never used, simply rewrite it to return the first 6 arguments of a system call. This should help out the performance of tracing system calls by ptrace, ftrace and perf.

tracing/syscalls: Pass in hardcoded 6 into syscall_get_arguments()

2019-04-04T13:17:52Z

The only users that calls syscall_get_arguments() with a variable and not a hard coded '6' is ftrace_syscall_enter(). syscall_get_arguments() can be optimized by removing a variable input, and always grabbing 6 arguments regardless of what the system call actually uses. Change ftrace_syscall_enter() to pass the 6 args into a local stack array and copy the necessary arguments into the trace event as needed. This is needed to remove two parameters from syscall_get_arguments(). Link: http://lkml.kernel.org/r/20161107213233.627583542@goodmis.org Signed-off-by: Steven Rostedt (VMware)
