Linux-2.6.12-rc2 Initial git repository build. I'm not bothering with the full history, even though we have it. We can create a separate "historical" git archive of that later if we want to, and in the meantime it's about 3.2GB when imported into git - space that would just make the early git days unnecessarily complicated, when we don't have a lot of good infrastructure for it.

kptr_restrict for hiding kernel pointers from unprivileged users Add the %pK printk format specifier and the /proc/sys/kernel/kptr_restrict sysctl. The %pK format specifier is designed to hide exposed kernel pointers, specifically via /proc interfaces. Exposing these pointers provides an easy target for kernel write vulnerabilities, since they reveal the locations of writable structures containing easily triggerable function pointers. The behavior of %pK depends on the kptr_restrict sysctl. If kptr_restrict is set to 0, no deviation from the standard %p behavior occurs. If kptr_restrict is set to 1, the default, if the current user (intended to be a reader via seq_printf(), etc.) does not have CAP_SYSLOG (currently in the LSM tree), kernel pointers using %pK are printed as 0's. If kptr_restrict is set to 2, kernel pointers using %pK are printed as 0's regardless of privileges. Replacing with 0's was chosen over the default "(null)", which cannot be parsed by userland %p, which expects "(nil)".

V3 file capabilities: alter behavior of cap_setpcap The non-filesystem capability meaning of CAP_SETPCAP is that a process, p1, can change the capabilities of another process, p2. This is not the meaning that was intended for this capability at all, and this implementation came about purely because, without filesystem capabilities, there was no way to use capabilities without one process bestowing them on another. Since we now have a filesystem support for capabilities we can fix the implementation of CAP_SETPCAP. The most significant thing about this change is that, with it in effect, no process can set the capabilities of another process. The capabilities of a program are set via the capability convolution rules: pI(post-exec) = pI(pre-exec) pP(post-exec) = (X(aka cap_bset) & fP) | (pI(post-exec) & fI) pE(post-exec) = fE ? pP(post-exec) : 0 at exec() time. As such, the only influence the pre-exec() program can have on the post-exec() program's capabilities are through the pI capability set. The correct implementation for CAP_SETPCAP (and that enabled by this patch) is that it can be used to add extra pI capabilities to the current process - to be picked up by subsequent exec()s when the above convolution rules are applied. Here is how it works: Let's say we have a process, p. It has capability sets, pE, pP and pI. Generally, p, can change the value of its own pI to pI' where (pI' & ~pI) & ~pP = 0. That is, the only new things in pI' that were not present in pI need to be present in pP. The role of CAP_SETPCAP is basically to permit changes to pI beyond the above: if (pE & CAP_SETPCAP) { pI' = anything; /* ie., even (pI' & ~pI) & ~pP != 0 */ } This capability is useful for things like login, which (say, via pam_cap) might want to raise certain inheritable capabilities for use by the children of the logged-in user's shell, but those capabilities are not useful to or needed by the login program itself. One such use might be to limit who can run ping. You set the capabilities of the 'ping' program to be "= cap_net_raw+i", and then only shells that have (pI & CAP_NET_RAW) will be able to run it. Without CAP_SETPCAP implemented as described above, login(pam_cap) would have to also have (pP & CAP_NET_RAW) in order to raise this capability and pass it on through the inheritable set.

sysctl: suppress kmemleak messages register_sysctl_table() is a strange function, as it makes internal allocations (a header) to register a sysctl_table. This header is a handle to the table that is created, and can be used to unregister the table. But if the table is permanent and never unregistered, the header acts the same as a static variable. Unfortunately, this allocation of memory that is never expected to be freed fools kmemleak in thinking that we have leaked memory. For those sysctl tables that are never unregistered, and have no pointer referencing them, kmemleak will think that these are memory leaks: unreferenced object 0xffff880079fb9d40 (size 192): comm "swapper/0", pid 0, jiffies 4294667316 (age 12614.152s) hex dump (first 32 bytes): 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 ................ 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 ................ backtrace: [<ffffffff8146b590>] kmemleak_alloc+0x73/0x98 [<ffffffff8110a935>] kmemleak_alloc_recursive.constprop.42+0x16/0x18 [<ffffffff8110b852>] __kmalloc+0x107/0x153 [<ffffffff8116fa72>] kzalloc.constprop.8+0xe/0x10 [<ffffffff811703c9>] __register_sysctl_paths+0xe1/0x160 [<ffffffff81170463>] register_sysctl_paths+0x1b/0x1d [<ffffffff8117047d>] register_sysctl_table+0x18/0x1a [<ffffffff81afb0a1>] sysctl_init+0x10/0x14 [<ffffffff81b05a6f>] proc_sys_init+0x2f/0x31 [<ffffffff81b0584c>] proc_root_init+0xa5/0xa7 [<ffffffff81ae5b7e>] start_kernel+0x3d0/0x40a [<ffffffff81ae52a7>] x86_64_start_reservations+0xae/0xb2 [<ffffffff81ae53ad>] x86_64_start_kernel+0x102/0x111 [<ffffffffffffffff>] 0xffffffffffffffff The sysctl_base_table used by sysctl itself is one such instance that registers the table to never be unregistered.

perf: Do the big rename: Performance Counters -> Performance Events Bye-bye Performance Counters, welcome Performance Events! In the past few months the perfcounters subsystem has grown out its initial role of counting hardware events, and has become (and is becoming) a much broader generic event enumeration, reporting, logging, monitoring, analysis facility. Naming its core object 'perf_counter' and naming the subsystem 'perfcounters' has become more and more of a misnomer. With pending code like hw-breakpoints support the 'counter' name is less and less appropriate. All in one, we've decided to rename the subsystem to 'performance events' and to propagate this rename through all fields, variables and API names. (in an ABI compatible fashion) The word 'event' is also a bit shorter than 'counter' - which makes it slightly more convenient to write/handle as well. Thanks goes to Stephane Eranian who first observed this misnomer and suggested a rename. User-space tooling and ABI compatibility is not affected - this patch should be function-invariant. (Also, defconfigs were not touched to keep the size down.) This patch has been generated via the following script: FILES=$(find * -type f | grep -vE 'oprofile|[^K]config') sed -i \ -e 's/PERF_EVENT_/PERF_RECORD_/g' \ -e 's/PERF_COUNTER/PERF_EVENT/g' \ -e 's/perf_counter/perf_event/g' \ -e 's/nb_counters/nb_events/g' \ -e 's/swcounter/swevent/g' \ -e 's/tpcounter_event/tp_event/g' \ $FILES for N in $(find . -name perf_counter.[ch]); do M=$(echo $N | sed 's/perf_counter/perf_event/g') mv $N $M done FILES=$(find . -name perf_event.*) sed -i \ -e 's/COUNTER_MASK/REG_MASK/g' \ -e 's/COUNTER/EVENT/g' \ -e 's/\<event\>/event_id/g' \ -e 's/counter/event/g' \ -e 's/Counter/Event/g' \ $FILES ... to keep it as correct as possible. This script can also be used by anyone who has pending perfcounters patches - it converts a Linux kernel tree over to the new naming. We tried to time this change to the point in time where the amount of pending patches is the smallest: the end of the merge window. Namespace clashes were fixed up in a preparatory patch - and some stylistic fallout will be fixed up in a subsequent patch. ( NOTE: 'counters' are still the proper terminology when we deal with hardware registers - and these sed scripts are a bit over-eager in renaming them. I've undone some of that, but in case there's something left where 'counter' would be better than 'event' we can undo that on an individual basis instead of touching an otherwise nicely automated patch. ) Suggested-by: Stephane Eranian <eranian@google.com> Acked-by: Peter Zijlstra <a.p.zijlstra@chello.nl> Acked-by: Paul Mackerras <paulus@samba.org> Reviewed-by: Arjan van de Ven <arjan@linux.intel.com> Cc: Mike Galbraith <efault@gmx.de> Cc: Arnaldo Carvalho de Melo <acme@redhat.com> Cc: Frederic Weisbecker <fweisbec@gmail.com> Cc: Steven Rostedt <rostedt@goodmis.org> Cc: Benjamin Herrenschmidt <benh@kernel.crashing.org> Cc: David Howells <dhowells@redhat.com> Cc: Kyle McMartin <kyle@mcmartin.ca> Cc: Martin Schwidefsky <schwidefsky@de.ibm.com> Cc: "David S.

capabilites: allow the application of capability limits to usermode helpers There is no way to limit the capabilities of usermodehelpers. This problem reared its head recently when someone complained that any user with cap_net_admin was able to load arbitrary kernel modules, even though the user didn't have cap_sys_module. The reason is because the actual load is done by a usermode helper and those always have the full cap set. This patch addes new sysctls which allow us to bound the permissions of usermode helpers. /proc/sys/kernel/usermodehelper/bset /proc/sys/kernel/usermodehelper/inheritable You must have CAP_SYS_MODULE and CAP_SETPCAP to change these (changes are &= ONLY). When the kernel launches a usermodehelper it will do so with these as the bset and pI. -v2: make globals static create spinlock to protect globals -v3: require both CAP_SETPCAP and CAP_SYS_MODULE -v4: fix the typo s/CAP_SET_PCAP/CAP_SETPCAP/ because I didn't commit Signed-off-by: Eric Paris <eparis@redhat.com> No-objection-from: Serge E.

kernel/sysctl.c: add cap_last_cap to /proc/sys/kernel Userspace needs to know the highest valid capability of the running kernel, which right now cannot reliably be retrieved from the header files only. The fact that this value cannot be determined properly right now creates various problems for libraries compiled on newer header files which are run on older kernels. They assume capabilities are available which actually aren't. libcap-ng is one example. And we ran into the same problem with systemd too.

kexec: add sysctl to disable kexec_load For general-purpose (i.e. distro) kernel builds it makes sense to build with CONFIG_KEXEC to allow end users to choose what kind of things they want to do with kexec. However, in the face of trying to lock down a system with such a kernel, there needs to be a way to disable kexec_load (much like module loading can be disabled). Without this, it is too easy for the root user to modify kernel memory even when CONFIG_STRICT_DEVMEM and modules_disabled are set. With this change, it is still possible to load an image for use later, then disable kexec_load so the image (or lack of image) can't be altered. The intention is for using this in environments where "perfect" enforcement is hard. Without a verified boot, along with verified modules, and along with verified kexec, this is trying to give a system a better chance to defend itself (or at least grow the window of discoverability) against attack in the face of a privilege escalation. In my mind, I consider several boot scenarios: 1) Verified boot of read-only verified root fs loading fd-based verification of kexec images. 2) Secure boot of writable root fs loading signed kexec images. 3) Regular boot loading kexec (e.g. kcrash) image early and locking it. 4) Regular boot with no control of kexec image at all. 1 and 2 don't exist yet, but will soon once the verified kexec series has landed. 4 is the state of things now. The gap between 2 and 4 is too large, so this change creates scenario 3, a middle-ground above 4 when 2 and 1 are not possible for a system.

bpf: enable non-root eBPF programs In order to let unprivileged users load and execute eBPF programs teach verifier to prevent pointer leaks. Verifier will prevent - any arithmetic on pointers (except R10+Imm which is used to compute stack addresses) - comparison of pointers (except if (map_value_ptr == 0) ... ) - passing pointers to helper functions - indirectly passing pointers in stack to helper functions - returning pointer from bpf program - storing pointers into ctx or maps Spill/fill of pointers into stack is allowed, but mangling of pointers stored in the stack or reading them byte by byte is not. Within bpf programs the pointers do exist, since programs need to be able to access maps, pass skb pointer to LD_ABS insns, etc but programs cannot pass such pointer values to the outside or obfuscate them. Only allow BPF_PROG_TYPE_SOCKET_FILTER unprivileged programs, so that socket filters (tcpdump), af_packet (quic acceleration) and future kcm can use it. tracing and tc cls/act program types still require root permissions, since tracing actually needs to be able to see all kernel pointers and tc is for root only. For example, the following unprivileged socket filter program is allowed: int bpf_prog1(struct __sk_buff *skb) { u32 index = load_byte(skb, ETH_HLEN + offsetof(struct iphdr, protocol)); u64 *value = bpf_map_lookup_elem(&my_map, &index); if (value) *value += skb->len; return 0; } but the following program is not: int bpf_prog1(struct __sk_buff *skb) { u32 index = load_byte(skb, ETH_HLEN + offsetof(struct iphdr, protocol)); u64 *value = bpf_map_lookup_elem(&my_map, &index); if (value) *value += (u64) skb; return 0; } since it would leak the kernel address into the map. Unprivileged socket filter bpf programs have access to the following helper functions: - map lookup/update/delete (but they cannot store kernel pointers into them) - get_random (it's already exposed to unprivileged user space) - get_smp_processor_id - tail_call into another socket filter program - ktime_get_ns The feature is controlled by sysctl kernel.unprivileged_bpf_disabled. This toggle defaults to off (0), but can be set true (1). Once true, bpf programs and maps cannot be accessed from unprivileged process, and the toggle cannot be set back to false.

mnt: Add a per mount namespace limit on the number of mounts CAI Qian <caiqian@redhat.com> pointed out that the semantics of shared subtrees make it possible to create an exponentially increasing number of mounts in a mount namespace. mkdir /tmp/1 /tmp/2 mount --make-rshared / for i in $(seq 1 20) ; do mount --bind /tmp/1 /tmp/2 ; done Will create create 2^20 or 1048576 mounts, which is a practical problem as some people have managed to hit this by accident. As such CVE-2016-6213 was assigned. Ian Kent <raven@themaw.net> described the situation for autofs users as follows: > The number of mounts for direct mount maps is usually not very large because of > the way they are implemented, large direct mount maps can have performance > problems. There can be anywhere from a few (likely case a few hundred) to less > than 10000, plus mounts that have been triggered and not yet expired. > > Indirect mounts have one autofs mount at the root plus the number of mounts that > have been triggered and not yet expired. > > The number of autofs indirect map entries can range from a few to the common > case of several thousand and in rare cases up to between 30000 and 50000. I've > not heard of people with maps larger than 50000 entries. > > The larger the number of map entries the greater the possibility for a large > number of active mounts so it's not hard to expect cases of a 1000 or somewhat > more active mounts. So I am setting the default number of mounts allowed per mount namespace at 100,000. This is more than enough for any use case I know of, but small enough to quickly stop an exponential increase in mounts. Which should be perfect to catch misconfigurations and malfunctioning programs. For anyone who needs a higher limit this can be changed by writing to the new /proc/sys/fs/mount-max sysctl.

userfaultfd/sysctl: add vm.unprivileged_userfaultfd Userfaultfd can be misued to make it easier to exploit existing use-after-free (and similar) bugs that might otherwise only make a short window or race condition available. By using userfaultfd to stall a kernel thread, a malicious program can keep some state that it wrote, stable for an extended period, which it can then access using an existing exploit. While it doesn't cause the exploit itself, and while it's not the only thing that can stall a kernel thread when accessing a memory location, it's one of the few that never needs privilege. We can add a flag, allowing userfaultfd to be restricted, so that in general it won't be useable by arbitrary user programs, but in environments that require userfaultfd it can be turned back on. Add a global sysctl knob "vm.unprivileged_userfaultfd" to control whether userfaultfd is allowed by unprivileged users. When this is set to zero, only privileged users (root user, or users with the CAP_SYS_PTRACE capability) will be able to use the userfaultfd syscalls. Andrea said: : The only difference between the bpf sysctl and the userfaultfd sysctl : this way is that the bpf sysctl adds the CAP_SYS_ADMIN capability : requirement, while userfaultfd adds the CAP_SYS_PTRACE requirement, : because the userfaultfd monitor is more likely to need CAP_SYS_PTRACE : already if it's doing other kind of tracking on processes runtime, in : addition of userfaultfd. In other words both syscalls works only for : root, when the two sysctl are opt-in set to 1.

sysctl: handle overflow in proc_get_long proc_get_long() is a funny function. It uses simple_strtoul() and for a good reason. proc_get_long() wants to always succeed the parse and return the maybe incorrect value and the trailing characters to check against a pre-defined list of acceptable trailing values. However, simple_strtoul() explicitly ignores overflows which can cause funny things like the following to happen: echo 18446744073709551616 > /proc/sys/fs/file-max cat /proc/sys/fs/file-max 0 (Which will cause your system to silently die behind your back.) On the other hand kstrtoul() does do overflow detection but does not return the trailing characters, and also fails the parse when anything other than '\n' is a trailing character whereas proc_get_long() wants to be more lenient. Now, before adding another kstrtoul() function let's simply add a static parse strtoul_lenient() which: - fails on overflow with -ERANGE - returns the trailing characters to the caller The reason why we should fail on ERANGE is that we already do a partial fail on overflow right now. Namely, when the TMPBUFLEN is exceeded. So we already reject values such as 184467440737095516160 (21 chars) but accept values such as 18446744073709551616 (20 chars) but both are overflows. So we should just always reject 64bit overflows and not special-case this based on the number of chars.

lockup_detector: Combine nmi_watchdog and softlockup detector The new nmi_watchdog (which uses the perf event subsystem) is very similar in structure to the softlockup detector. Using Ingo's suggestion, I combined the two functionalities into one file: kernel/watchdog.c. Now both the nmi_watchdog (or hardlockup detector) and softlockup detector sit on top of the perf event subsystem, which is run every 60 seconds or so to see if there are any lockups. To detect hardlockups, cpus not responding to interrupts, I implemented an hrtimer that runs 5 times for every perf event overflow event. If that stops counting on a cpu, then the cpu is most likely in trouble. To detect softlockups, tasks not yielding to the scheduler, I used the previous kthread idea that now gets kicked every time the hrtimer fires. If the kthread isn't being scheduled neither is anyone else and the warning is printed to the console. I tested this on x86_64 and both the softlockup and hardlockup paths work. V2: - cleaned up the Kconfig and softlockup combination - surrounded hardlockup cases with #ifdef CONFIG_PERF_EVENTS_NMI - seperated out the softlockup case from perf event subsystem - re-arranged the enabling/disabling nmi watchdog from proc space - added cpumasks for hardlockup failure cases - removed fallback to soft events if no PMU exists for hard events V3: - comment cleanups - drop support for older softlockup code - per_cpu cleanups - completely remove software clock base hardlockup detector - use per_cpu masking on hard/soft lockup detection - #ifdef cleanups - rename config option NMI_WATCHDOG to LOCKUP_DETECTOR - documentation additions V4: - documentation fixes - convert per_cpu to __get_cpu_var - powerpc compile fixes V5: - split apart warn flags for hard and soft lockups TODO: - figure out how to make an arch-agnostic clock2cycles call (if possible) to feed into perf events as a sample period [fweisbec: merged conflict patch] Signed-off-by: Don Zickus <dzickus@redhat.com> Cc: Ingo Molnar <mingo@elte.hu> Cc: Peter Zijlstra <peterz@infradead.org> Cc: Cyrill Gorcunov <gorcunov@gmail.com> Cc: Eric Paris <eparis@redhat.com> Cc: Randy Dunlap <randy.dunlap@oracle.com> LKML-Reference: <1273266711-18706-2-git-send-email-dzickus@redhat.com> Signed-off-by: Frederic Weisbecker <fweisbec@gmail.com>

[PATCH] setuid core dump Add a new `suid_dumpable' sysctl: This value can be used to query and set the core dump mode for setuid or otherwise protected/tainted binaries. The modes are 0 - (default) - traditional behaviour. Any process which has changed privilege levels or is execute only will not be dumped 1 - (debug) - all processes dump core when possible. The core dump is owned by the current user and no security is applied. This is intended for system debugging situations only. Ptrace is unchecked. 2 - (suidsafe) - any binary which normally would not be dumped is dumped readable by root only. This allows the end user to remove such a dump but not access it directly. For security reasons core dumps in this mode will not overwrite one another or other files. This mode is appropriate when adminstrators are attempting to debug problems in a normal environment. (akpm: > > +EXPORT_SYMBOL(suid_dumpable); > > EXPORT_SYMBOL_GPL? No problem to me. > > if (current->euid == current->uid && current->egid == current->gid) > > current->mm->dumpable = 1; > > Should this be SUID_DUMP_USER? Actually the feedback I had from last time was that the SUID_ defines should go because its clearer to follow the numbers. They can go everywhere (and there are lots of places where dumpable is tested/used as a bool in untouched code) > Maybe this should be renamed to `dump_policy' or something. Doing that > would help us catch any code which isn't using the #defines, too. Fair comment. The patch was designed to be easy to maintain for Red Hat rather than for merging.

exec: let do_coredump() limit the number of concurrent dumps to pipes Introduce core pipe limiting sysctl. Since we can dump cores to pipe, rather than directly to the filesystem, we create a condition in which a user can create a very high load on the system simply by running bad applications. If the pipe reader specified in core_pattern is poorly written, we can have lots of ourstandig resources and processes in the system. This sysctl introduces an ability to limit that resource consumption. core_pipe_limit defines how many in-flight dumps may be run in parallel, dumps beyond this value are skipped and a note is made in the kernel log. A special value of 0 in core_pipe_limit denotes unlimited core dumps may be handled (this is the default value).

[PATCH] Make high and batch sizes of per_cpu_pagelists configurable As recently there has been lot of traffic on the right values for batch and high water marks for per_cpu_pagelists. This patch makes these two variables configurable through /proc interface. A new tunable /proc/sys/vm/percpu_pagelist_fraction is added. This entry controls the fraction of pages at most in each zone that are allocated for each per cpu page list. The min value for this is 8. It means that we don't allow more than 1/8th of pages in each zone to be allocated in any single per_cpu_pagelist. The batch value of each per cpu pagelist is also updated as a result. It is set to pcp->high/4. The upper limit of batch is (PAGE_SHIFT * 8) Signed-off-by: Rohit Seth <rohit.seth@intel.com> Signed-off-by: Andrew Morton <akpm@osdl.org> Signed-off-by: Linus Torvalds <torvalds@osdl.org>

Currently it then discards the excess pages back to the page allocator, making that memory available for use by other things. This can, however, cause greater amount of fragmentation. To counter this, a sysctl is added in order to fine-tune the trimming behaviour. The default behaviour remains to trim pages aggressively, while this can either be disabled completely or set to a higher page-granular watermark in order to have finer-grained control. vm region vm_top bits taken from an earlier patch by David Howells.

drop_caches: add some documentation and info message There is plenty of anecdotal evidence and a load of blog posts suggesting that using "drop_caches" periodically keeps your system running in "tip top shape". Perhaps adding some kernel documentation will increase the amount of accurate data on its use. If we are not shrinking caches effectively, then we have real bugs. Using drop_caches will simply mask the bugs and make them harder to find, but certainly does not fix them, nor is it an appropriate "workaround" to limit the size of the caches. On the contrary, there have been bug reports on issues that turned out to be misguided use of cache dropping. Dropping caches is a very drastic and disruptive operation that is good for debugging and running tests, but if it creates bug reports from production use, kernel developers should be aware of its use. Add a bit more documentation about it, a syslog message to track down abusers, and vmstat drop counters to help analyze problem reports.

sysctl: handle overflow for file-max Currently, when writing echo 18446744073709551616 > /proc/sys/fs/file-max /proc/sys/fs/file-max will overflow and be set to 0. That quickly crashes the system. This commit sets the max and min value for file-max. The max value is set to long int. Any higher value cannot currently be used as the percpu counters are long ints and not unsigned integers. Note that the file-max value is ultimately parsed via __do_proc_doulongvec_minmax(). This function does not report error when min or max are exceeded. Which means if a value largen that long int is written userspace will not receive an error instead the old value will be kept. There is an argument to be made that this should be changed and __do_proc_doulongvec_minmax() should return an error when a dedicated min or max value are exceeded. However this has the potential to break userspace so let's defer this to an RFC patch.

mm: scale kswapd watermarks in proportion to memory In machines with 140G of memory and enterprise flash storage, we have seen read and write bursts routinely exceed the kswapd watermarks and cause thundering herds in direct reclaim. Unfortunately, the only way to tune kswapd aggressiveness is through adjusting min_free_kbytes - the system's emergency reserves - which is entirely unrelated to the system's latency requirements. In order to get kswapd to maintain a 250M buffer of free memory, the emergency reserves need to be set to 1G. That is a lot of memory wasted for no good reason. On the other hand, it's reasonable to assume that allocation bursts and overall allocation concurrency scale with memory capacity, so it makes sense to make kswapd aggressiveness a function of that as well. Change the kswapd watermark scale factor from the currently fixed 25% of the tunable emergency reserve to a tunable 0.1% of memory. Beyond 1G of memory, this will produce bigger watermark steps than the current formula in default settings. Ensure that the new formula never chooses steps smaller than that, i.e. 25% of the emergency reserve. On a 140G machine, this raises the default watermark steps - the distance between min and low, and low and high - from 16M to 143M.

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.

softlockup: add a /proc tuning parameter Control the trigger limit for softlockup warnings. This is useful for debugging softlockups, by lowering the softlockup_thresh to identify possible softlockups earlier. This patch: 1. Adds a sysctl softlockup_thresh with valid values of 1-60s (Higher value to disable false positives) 2.

The fact that this value cannot be determined properly right now creates various problems for libraries compiled on newer header files which are run on older kernels. They assume capabilities are available which actually aren't. libcap-ng is one example. And we ran into the same problem with systemd too.

kernel/hung_task.c: allow to set checking interval separately from timeout Currently task hung checking interval is equal to timeout, as the result hung is detected anywhere between timeout and 2*timeout. This is fine for most interactive environments, but this hurts automated testing setups (syzbot). In an automated setup we need to strictly order CPU lockup < RCU stall < workqueue lockup < task hung < silent loss, so that RCU stall is not detected as task hung and task hung is not detected as silent machine loss. The large variance in task hung detection timeout requires setting silent machine loss timeout to a very large value (e.g. if task hung is 3 mins, then silent loss need to be set to ~7 mins). The additional 3 minutes significantly reduce testing efficiency because usually we crash kernel within a minute, and this can add hours to bug localization process as it needs to do dozens of tests. Allow setting checking interval separately from timeout. This allows to set timeout to, say, 3 minutes, but checking interval to 10 secs. The interval is controlled via a new hung_task_check_interval_secs sysctl, similar to the existing hung_task_timeout_secs sysctl. The default value of 0 results in the current behavior: checking interval is equal to timeout.

static enum sysctl_writes_mode sysctl_writes_strict = SYSCTL_WRITES_STRICT;
sysctl: allow for strict write position handling When writing to a sysctl string, each write, regardless of VFS position, begins writing the string from the start. This means the contents of the last write to the sysctl controls the string contents instead of the first: open("/proc/sys/kernel/modprobe", O_WRONLY) = 1 write(1, "AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA"..., 4096) = 4096 write(1, "/bin/true", 9) = 9 close(1) = 0 $ cat /proc/sys/kernel/modprobe /bin/true Expected behaviour would be to have the sysctl be "AAAA..." capped at maxlen (in this case KMOD_PATH_LEN: 256), instead of truncating to the contents of the second write. Similarly, multiple short writes would not append to the sysctl. The old behavior is unlike regular POSIX files enough that doing audits of software that interact with sysctls can end up in unexpected or dangerous situations. For example, "as long as the input starts with a trusted path" turns out to be an insufficient filter, as what must also happen is for the input to be entirely contained in a single write syscall -- not a common consideration, especially for high level tools. This provides kernel.sysctl_writes_strict as a way to make this behavior act in a less surprising manner for strings, and disallows non-zero file position when writing numeric sysctls (similar to what is already done when reading from non-zero file positions). For now, the default (0) is to warn about non-zero file position use, but retain the legacy behavior. Setting this to -1 disables the warning, and setting this to 1 enables the file position respecting behavior.

Just put proc_dopipe_max_size() in the ctl_table entry directly, and remove the unneeded EXPORT_SYMBOL() and the ENOSYS stub for it. (The reason the ENOSYS stub isn't needed is that the pipe-max-size ctl_table entry is located directly in 'kern_table' rather than being registered separately. Therefore, the entry is already only defined when the kernel is built with sysctl support.)

bpf: enable program stats JITed BPF programs are indistinguishable from kernel functions, but unlike kernel code BPF code can be changed often. Typical approach of "perf record" + "perf report" profiling and tuning of kernel code works just as well for BPF programs, but kernel code doesn't need to be monitored whereas BPF programs do. Users load and run large amount of BPF programs. These BPF stats allow tools monitor the usage of BPF on the server. The monitoring tools will turn sysctl kernel.bpf_stats_enabled on and off for few seconds to sample average cost of the programs. Aggregated data over hours and days will provide an insight into cost of BPF and alarms can trigger in case given program suddenly gets more expensive. The cost of two sched_clock() per program invocation adds ~20 nsec. Fast BPF progs (like selftests/bpf/progs/test_pkt_access.c) will slow down from ~10 nsec to ~30 nsec. static_key minimizes the cost of the stats collection.

epoll: introduce resource usage limits It has been thought that the per-user file descriptors limit would also limit the resources that a normal user can request via the epoll interface. Vegard Nossum reported a very simple program (a modified version attached) that can make a normal user to request a pretty large amount of kernel memory, well within the its maximum number of fds. To solve such problem, default limits are now imposed, and /proc based configuration has been introduced. A new directory has been created, named /proc/sys/fs/epoll/ and inside there, there are two configuration points: max_user_instances = Maximum number of devices - per user max_user_watches = Maximum number of "watched" fds - per user The current default for "max_user_watches" limits the memory used by epoll to store "watches", to 1/32 of the amount of the low RAM. As example, a 256MB 32bit machine, will have "max_user_watches" set to roughly 90000. That should be enough to not break existing heavy epoll users. The default value for "max_user_instances" is set to 128, that should be enough too. This also changes the userspace, because a new error code can now come out from EPOLL_CTL_ADD (-ENOSPC). The EMFILE from epoll_create() was already listed, so that should be ok.

firmware: enable run time change of forcing fallback loader Currently one requires to test four kernel configurations to test the firmware API completely: 0) CONFIG_FW_LOADER=y 1) o CONFIG_FW_LOADER=y o CONFIG_FW_LOADER_USER_HELPER=y 2) o CONFIG_FW_LOADER=y o CONFIG_FW_LOADER_USER_HELPER=y o CONFIG_FW_LOADER_USER_HELPER_FALLBACK=y 3) When CONFIG_FW_LOADER=m the built-in stuff is disabled, we have no current tests for this. We can reduce the requirements to three kernel configurations by making fw_config.force_sysfs_fallback a proc knob we flip on off. For kernels that disable CONFIG_IKCONFIG_PROC this can also enable one to inspect if CONFIG_FW_LOADER_USER_HELPER_FALLBACK was enabled at build time by checking the proc value at boot time.

sysctl: Register the base sysctl table like any other sysctl table. Simplify the code by treating the base sysctl table like any other sysctl table and register it with register_sysctl_table. To ensure this table is registered early enough to avoid problems call sysctl_init from proc_sys_init. Rename sysctl_net.c:sysctl_init() to net_sysctl_init() to avoid name conflicts now that kernel/sysctl.c:sysctl_init() is no longer static. Signed-off-by: Eric W. Biederman <ebiederm@xmission.com>

mm: numa: Add fault driven placement and migration NOTE: This patch is based on "sched, numa, mm: Add fault driven placement and migration policy" but as it throws away all the policy to just leave a basic foundation I had to drop the signed-offs-by. 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.

mm: compaction: add a tunable that decides when memory should be compacted and when it should be reclaimed The kernel applies some heuristics when deciding if memory should be compacted or reclaimed to satisfy a high-order allocation. One of these is based on the fragmentation. If the index is below 500, memory will not be compacted. This choice is arbitrary and not based on data. To help optimise the system and set a sensible default for this value, this patch adds a sysctl extfrag_threshold. The kernel will only compact memory if the fragmentation index is above the extfrag_threshold.

sched/debug: Make schedstats a runtime tunable that is disabled by default schedstats is very useful during debugging and performance tuning but it incurs overhead to calculate the stats. As such, even though it can be disabled at build time, it is often enabled as the information is useful. This patch adds a kernel command-line and sysctl tunable to enable or disable schedstats on demand (when it's built in). It is disabled by default as someone who knows they need it can also learn to enable it when necessary. The benefits are dependent on how scheduler-intensive the workload is. If it is then the patch reduces the number of cycles spent calculating the stats with a small benefit from reducing the cache footprint of the scheduler. These measurements were taken from a 48-core 2-socket machine with Xeon(R) E5-2670 v3 cpus although they were also tested on a single socket machine 8-core machine with Intel i7-3770 processors. netperf-tcp 4.5.0-rc1 4.5.0-rc1 vanilla nostats-v3r1 Hmean 64 560.45 ( 0.00%) 575.98 ( 2.77%) Hmean 128 766.66 ( 0.00%) 795.79 ( 3.80%) Hmean 256 950.51 ( 0.00%) 981.50 ( 3.26%) Hmean 1024 1433.25 ( 0.00%) 1466.51 ( 2.32%) Hmean 2048 2810.54 ( 0.00%) 2879.75 ( 2.46%) Hmean 3312 4618.18 ( 0.00%) 4682.09 ( 1.38%) Hmean 4096 5306.42 ( 0.00%) 5346.39 ( 0.75%) Hmean 8192 10581.44 ( 0.00%) 10698.15 ( 1.10%) Hmean 16384 18857.70 ( 0.00%) 18937.61 ( 0.42%) Small gains here, UDP_STREAM showed nothing intresting and neither did the TCP_RR tests.

The gain is small but it stands to reason that doing less work in the scheduler is a good thing. The downside is that the lack of schedstats and tracepoints may be surprising to experts doing performance analysis until they find the existence of the schedstats= parameter or schedstats sysctl. It will be automatically activated for latencytop and sleep profiling to alleviate the problem. For tracepoints, there is a simple warning as it's not safe to activate schedstats in the context when it's known the tracepoint may be wanted but is unavailable.

mm: sched: numa: Implement slow start for working set sampling Add a 1 second delay before starting to scan the working set of a task and starting to balance it amongst nodes. [ note that before the constant per task WSS sampling rate patch the initial scan would happen much later still, in effect that patch caused this regression. ] The theory is that short-run tasks benefit very little from NUMA placement: they come and go, and they better stick to the node they were started on. As tasks mature and rebalance to other CPUs and nodes, so does their NUMA placement have to change and so does it start to matter more and more. In practice this change fixes an observable kbuild regression: # [ a perf stat --null --repeat 10 test of ten bzImage builds to /dev/shm ] !NUMA: 45.291088843 seconds time elapsed ( +- 0.40% ) 45.154231752 seconds time elapsed ( +- 0.36% ) +NUMA, no slow start: 46.172308123 seconds time elapsed ( +- 0.30% ) 46.343168745 seconds time elapsed ( +- 0.25% ) +NUMA, 1 sec slow start: 45.224189155 seconds time elapsed ( +- 0.25% ) 45.160866532 seconds time elapsed ( +- 0.17% ) and it also fixes an observable perf bench (hackbench) regression: # perf stat --null --repeat 10 perf bench sched messaging -NUMA: -NUMA: 0.246225691 seconds time elapsed ( +- 1.31% ) +NUMA no slow start: 0.252620063 seconds time elapsed ( +- 1.13% ) +NUMA 1sec delay: 0.248076230 seconds time elapsed ( +- 1.35% ) The implementation is simple and straightforward, most of the patch deals with adding the /proc/sys/kernel/numa_balancing_scan_delay_ms tunable knob.

mm: sched: numa: Implement constant, per task Working Set Sampling (WSS) rate Previously, to probe the working set of a task, we'd use a very simple and crude method: mark all of its address space PROT_NONE. That method has various (obvious) disadvantages: - it samples the working set at dissimilar rates, giving some tasks a sampling quality advantage over others. - creates performance problems for tasks with very large working sets - over-samples processes with large address spaces but which only very rarely execute Improve that method by keeping a rotating offset into the address space that marks the current position of the scan, and advance it by a constant rate (in a CPU cycles execution proportional manner). If the offset reaches the last mapped address of the mm then it then it starts over at the first address. The per-task nature of the working set sampling functionality in this tree allows such constant rate, per task, execution-weight proportional sampling of the working set, with an adaptive sampling interval/frequency that goes from once per 100ms up to just once per 8 seconds. The current sampling volume is 256 MB per interval. As tasks mature and converge their working set, so does the sampling rate slow down to just a trickle, 256 MB per 8 seconds of CPU time executed. This, beyond being adaptive, also rate-limits rarely executing systems and does not over-sample on overloaded systems. [ In AutoNUMA speak, this patch deals with the effective sampling rate of the 'hinting page fault'. AutoNUMA's scanning is currently rate-limited, but it is also fundamentally single-threaded, executing in the knuma_scand kernel thread, so the limit in AutoNUMA is global and does not scale up with the number of CPUs, nor does it scan tasks in an execution proportional manner. So the idea of rate-limiting the scanning was first implemented in the AutoNUMA tree via a global rate limit. This patch goes beyond that by implementing an execution rate proportional working set sampling rate that is not implemented via a single global scanning daemon. ] [ Dan Carpenter pointed out a possible NULL pointer dereference in the first version of this patch. ] Based-on-idea-by: Andrea Arcangeli <aarcange@redhat.com> Bug-Found-By: Dan Carpenter <dan.carpenter@oracle.com> Signed-off-by: Peter Zijlstra <a.p.zijlstra@chello.nl> Cc: Linus Torvalds <torvalds@linux-foundation.org> Cc: Andrew Morton <akpm@linux-foundation.org> Cc: Peter Zijlstra <a.p.zijlstra@chello.nl> Cc: Andrea Arcangeli <aarcange@redhat.com> Cc: Rik van Riel <riel@redhat.com> [ Wrote changelog and fixed bug. ] Signed-off-by: Ingo Molnar <mingo@kernel.org> Signed-off-by: Mel Gorman <mgorman@suse.de> Reviewed-by: Rik van Riel <riel@redhat.com>

mm: numa: Add fault driven placement and migration NOTE: This patch is based on "sched, numa, mm: Add fault driven placement and migration policy" but as it throws away all the policy to just leave a basic foundation I had to drop the signed-offs-by. 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.

sched: Add 'autogroup' scheduling feature: automated per session task groups A recurring complaint from CFS users is that parallel kbuild has a negative impact on desktop interactivity. This patch implements an idea from Linus, to automatically create task groups. Currently, only per session autogroups are implemented, but the patch leaves the way open for enhancement. Implementation: each task's signal struct contains an inherited pointer to a refcounted autogroup struct containing a task group pointer, the default for all tasks pointing to the init_task_group. When a task calls setsid(), a new task group is created, the process is moved into the new task group, and a reference to the preveious task group is dropped. Child processes inherit this task group thereafter, and increase it's refcount. When the last thread of a process exits, the process's reference is dropped, such that when the last process referencing an autogroup exits, the autogroup is destroyed. At runqueue selection time, IFF a task has no cgroup assignment, its current autogroup is used. Autogroup bandwidth is controllable via setting it's nice level through the proc filesystem: cat /proc/<pid>/autogroup Displays the task's group and the group's nice level. echo <nice level> > /proc/<pid>/autogroup Sets the task group's shares to the weight of nice <level> task. Setting nice level is rate limited for !admin users due to the abuse risk of task group locking. The feature is enabled from boot by default if CONFIG_SCHED_AUTOGROUP=y is selected, but can be disabled via the boot option noautogroup, and can also be turned on/off on the fly via: echo [01] > /proc/sys/kernel/sched_autogroup_enabled ... which will automatically move tasks to/from the root task group.

sched: Accumulate per-cfs_rq cpu usage and charge against bandwidth Account bandwidth usage on the cfs_rq level versus the task_groups to which they belong. Whether we are tracking bandwidth on a given cfs_rq is maintained under cfs_rq->runtime_enabled. cfs_rq's which belong to a bandwidth constrained task_group have their runtime accounted via the update_curr() path, which withdraws bandwidth from the global pool as desired. Updates involving the global pool are currently protected under cfs_bandwidth->lock, local runtime is protected by rq->lock. This patch only assigns and tracks quota, no action is taken in the case that cfs_rq->runtime_used exceeds cfs_rq->runtime_assigned.

sched/topology: Introduce a sysctl for Energy Aware Scheduling In its current state, Energy Aware Scheduling (EAS) starts automatically on asymmetric platforms having an Energy Model (EM). However, there are users who want to have an EM (for thermal management for example), but don't want EAS with it. In order to let users disable EAS explicitly, introduce a new sysctl called 'sched_energy_aware'. It is enabled by default so that EAS can start automatically on platforms where it makes sense. Flipping it to 0 rebuilds the scheduling domains and disables EAS.

lockstat: core infrastructure Introduce the core lock statistics code. Lock statistics provides lock wait-time and hold-time (as well as the count of corresponding contention and acquisitions events). Also, the first few call-sites that encounter contention are tracked. Lock wait-time is the time spent waiting on the lock. This provides insight into the locking scheme, that is, a heavily contended lock is indicative of a too coarse locking scheme. Lock hold-time is the duration the lock was held, this provides a reference for the wait-time numbers, so they can be put into perspective. 1) lock 2) ... do stuff .. unlock 3) The time between 1 and 2 is the wait-time. The time between 2 and 3 is the hold-time. The lockdep held-lock tracking code is reused, because it already collects locks into meaningful groups (classes), and because it is an existing infrastructure for lock instrumentation. Currently lockdep tracks lock acquisition with two hooks: lock() lock_acquire() _lock() ... code protected by lock ... unlock() lock_release() _unlock() We need to extend this with two more hooks, in order to measure contention. lock_contended() - used to measure contention events lock_acquired() - completion of the contention These are then placed the following way: lock() lock_acquire() if (!_try_lock()) lock_contended() _lock() lock_acquired() ... do locked stuff ... unlock() lock_release() _unlock() (Note: the try_lock() 'trick' is used to avoid instrumenting all platform dependent lock primitive implementations.)

Make the taint flags reliable It's somewhat unlikely that it happens, but right now a race window between interrupts or machine checks or oopses could corrupt the tainted bitmap because it is modified in a non atomic fashion. Convert the taint variable to an unsigned long and use only atomic bit operations on it. Unfortunately this means the intvec sysctl functions cannot be used on it anymore. It turned out the taint sysctl handler could actually be simplified a bit (since it only increases capabilities) so this patch actually removes code.

sysctl: allow for strict write position handling When writing to a sysctl string, each write, regardless of VFS position, begins writing the string from the start. This means the contents of the last write to the sysctl controls the string contents instead of the first: open("/proc/sys/kernel/modprobe", O_WRONLY) = 1 write(1, "AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA"..., 4096) = 4096 write(1, "/bin/true", 9) = 9 close(1) = 0 $ cat /proc/sys/kernel/modprobe /bin/true Expected behaviour would be to have the sysctl be "AAAA..." capped at maxlen (in this case KMOD_PATH_LEN: 256), instead of truncating to the contents of the second write. Similarly, multiple short writes would not append to the sysctl. The old behavior is unlike regular POSIX files enough that doing audits of software that interact with sysctls can end up in unexpected or dangerous situations. For example, "as long as the input starts with a trusted path" turns out to be an insufficient filter, as what must also happen is for the input to be entirely contained in a single write syscall -- not a common consideration, especially for high level tools. This provides kernel.sysctl_writes_strict as a way to make this behavior act in a less surprising manner for strings, and disallows non-zero file position when writing numeric sysctls (similar to what is already done when reading from non-zero file positions). For now, the default (0) is to warn about non-zero file position use, but retain the legacy behavior. Setting this to -1 disables the warning, and setting this to 1 enables the file position respecting behavior.

sched/debug: Make schedstats a runtime tunable that is disabled by default schedstats is very useful during debugging and performance tuning but it incurs overhead to calculate the stats. As such, even though it can be disabled at build time, it is often enabled as the information is useful. This patch adds a kernel command-line and sysctl tunable to enable or disable schedstats on demand (when it's built in). It is disabled by default as someone who knows they need it can also learn to enable it when necessary. The benefits are dependent on how scheduler-intensive the workload is. If it is then the patch reduces the number of cycles spent calculating the stats with a small benefit from reducing the cache footprint of the scheduler. These measurements were taken from a 48-core 2-socket machine with Xeon(R) E5-2670 v3 cpus although they were also tested on a single socket machine 8-core machine with Intel i7-3770 processors. netperf-tcp 4.5.0-rc1 4.5.0-rc1 vanilla nostats-v3r1 Hmean 64 560.45 ( 0.00%) 575.98 ( 2.77%) Hmean 128 766.66 ( 0.00%) 795.79 ( 3.80%) Hmean 256 950.51 ( 0.00%) 981.50 ( 3.26%) Hmean 1024 1433.25 ( 0.00%) 1466.51 ( 2.32%) Hmean 2048 2810.54 ( 0.00%) 2879.75 ( 2.46%) Hmean 3312 4618.18 ( 0.00%) 4682.09 ( 1.38%) Hmean 4096 5306.42 ( 0.00%) 5346.39 ( 0.75%) Hmean 8192 10581.44 ( 0.00%) 10698.15 ( 1.10%) Hmean 16384 18857.70 ( 0.00%) 18937.61 ( 0.42%) Small gains here, UDP_STREAM showed nothing intresting and neither did the TCP_RR tests.

The gain is small but it stands to reason that doing less work in the scheduler is a good thing. The downside is that the lack of schedstats and tracepoints may be surprising to experts doing performance analysis until they find the existence of the schedstats= parameter or schedstats sysctl. It will be automatically activated for latencytop and sleep profiling to alleviate the problem. For tracepoints, there is a simple warning as it's not safe to activate schedstats in the context when it's known the tracepoint may be wanted but is unavailable.

tracing: Disable tracing on warning Add a traceoff_on_warning option in both the kernel command line as well as a sysctl option. When set, any WARN*() function that is hit will cause the tracing_on variable to be cleared, which disables writing to the ring buffer. This is useful especially when tracing a bug with function tracing. When a warning is hit, the print caused by the warning can flood the trace with the functions that producing the output for the warning. This can make the resulting trace useless by either hiding where the bug happened, or worse, by overflowing the buffer and losing the trace of the bug totally.

Instead of having this feature called by a branch against a variable, turn that variable into a static key, and this will remove the test and jump.

kexec: split kexec_load syscall from kexec core code There are two kexec load syscalls, kexec_load another and kexec_file_load. kexec_file_load has been splited as kernel/kexec_file.c. In this patch I split kexec_load syscall code to kernel/kexec.c. And add a new kconfig option KEXEC_CORE, so we can disable kexec_load and use kexec_file_load only, or vice verse. The original requirement is from Ted Ts'o, he want kexec kernel signature being checked with CONFIG_KEXEC_VERIFY_SIG enabled. But kexec-tools use kexec_load syscall can bypass the checking. Vivek Goyal proposed to create a common kconfig option so user can compile in only one syscall for loading kexec kernel. KEXEC/KEXEC_FILE selects KEXEC_CORE so that old config files still work. Because there's general code need CONFIG_KEXEC_CORE, so I updated all the architecture Kconfig with a new option KEXEC_CORE, and let KEXEC selects KEXEC_CORE in arch Kconfig. Also updated general kernel code with to kexec_load syscall. [akpm@linux-foundation.org: coding-style fixes] Signed-off-by: Dave Young <dyoung@redhat.com> Cc: Eric W.

kexec: add sysctl to disable kexec_load For general-purpose (i.e. distro) kernel builds it makes sense to build with CONFIG_KEXEC to allow end users to choose what kind of things they want to do with kexec. However, in the face of trying to lock down a system with such a kernel, there needs to be a way to disable kexec_load (much like module loading can be disabled). Without this, it is too easy for the root user to modify kernel memory even when CONFIG_STRICT_DEVMEM and modules_disabled are set. With this change, it is still possible to load an image for use later, then disable kexec_load so the image (or lack of image) can't be altered. The intention is for using this in environments where "perfect" enforcement is hard. Without a verified boot, along with verified modules, and along with verified kexec, this is trying to give a system a better chance to defend itself (or at least grow the window of discoverability) against attack in the face of a privilege escalation. In my mind, I consider several boot scenarios: 1) Verified boot of read-only verified root fs loading fd-based verification of kexec images. 2) Secure boot of writable root fs loading signed kexec images. 3) Regular boot loading kexec (e.g. kcrash) image early and locking it. 4) Regular boot with no control of kexec image at all. 1 and 2 don't exist yet, but will soon once the verified kexec series has landed. 4 is the state of things now. The gap between 2 and 4 is too large, so this change creates scenario 3, a middle-ground above 4 when 2 and 1 are not possible for a system.

[PATCH] replace cad_pid by a struct pid There are a few places in the kernel where the init task is signaled. The ctrl+alt+del sequence is one them. It kills a task, usually init, using a cached pid (cad_pid). This patch replaces the pid_t by a struct pid to avoid pid wrap around problem. The struct pid is initialized at boot time in init() and can be modified through systctl with /proc/sys/kernel/cad_pid [ I haven't found any distro using it ? ] It also introduces a small helper routine kill_cad_pid() which is used where it seemed ok to use cad_pid instead of pid 1.

capabilites: allow the application of capability limits to usermode helpers There is no way to limit the capabilities of usermodehelpers. This problem reared its head recently when someone complained that any user with cap_net_admin was able to load arbitrary kernel modules, even though the user didn't have cap_sys_module. The reason is because the actual load is done by a usermode helper and those always have the full cap set. This patch addes new sysctls which allow us to bound the permissions of usermode helpers. /proc/sys/kernel/usermodehelper/bset /proc/sys/kernel/usermodehelper/inheritable You must have CAP_SYS_MODULE and CAP_SETPCAP to change these (changes are &= ONLY).

We can reduce the requirements to three kernel configurations by making fw_config.force_sysfs_fallback a proc knob we flip on off. For kernels that disable CONFIG_IKCONFIG_PROC this can also enable one to inspect if CONFIG_FW_LOADER_USER_HELPER_FALLBACK was enabled at build time by checking the proc value at boot time.

[S390] debug: enable exception-trace debug facility The exception-trace facility on x86 and other architectures prints traces to dmesg whenever a user space application crashes. s390 has such a feature since ages however it is called userprocess_debug and is enabled differently. This patch makes sure that whenever one of the two procfs files /proc/sys/kernel/userprocess_debug /proc/sys/debug/exception-trace is modified the contents of the second one changes as well. That way we keep backwards compatibilty but also support the same interface like other architectures do. Besides that the output of the traces is improved since it will now also contain the corresponding filename of the vma (when available) where the process caused a fault or trap.

printk: add kernel parameter to control writes to /dev/kmsg Add a "printk.devkmsg" kernel command line parameter which controls how userspace writes into /dev/kmsg. It has three options: * ratelimit - ratelimit logging from userspace. * on - unlimited logging from userspace * off - logging from userspace gets ignored The default setting is to ratelimit the messages written to it. This changes the kernel default setting of "on" to "ratelimit" and we do that because we want to keep userspace spamming /dev/kmsg to sane levels. This is especially moot when a small kernel log buffer wraps around and messages get lost. So the ratelimiting setting should be a sane setting where kernel messages should have a bit higher chance of survival from all the spamming. It additionally does not limit logging to /dev/kmsg while the system is booting if we haven't disabled it on the command line. Furthermore, we can control the logging from a lower priority sysctl interface - kernel.printk_devkmsg. That interface will succeed only if printk.devkmsg *hasn't* been supplied on the command line. If it has, then printk.devkmsg is a one-time setting which remains for the duration of the system lifetime. This "locking" of the setting is to prevent userspace from changing the logging on us through sysctl(2). This patch is based on previous patches from Linus and Steven.

kptr_restrict for hiding kernel pointers from unprivileged users Add the %pK printk format specifier and the /proc/sys/kernel/kptr_restrict sysctl. The %pK format specifier is designed to hide exposed kernel pointers, specifically via /proc interfaces. Exposing these pointers provides an easy target for kernel write vulnerabilities, since they reveal the locations of writable structures containing easily triggerable function pointers. The behavior of %pK depends on the kptr_restrict sysctl. If kptr_restrict is set to 0, no deviation from the standard %p behavior occurs. If kptr_restrict is set to 1, the default, if the current user (intended to be a reader via seq_printf(), etc.) does not have CAP_SYSLOG (currently in the LSM tree), kernel pointers using %pK are printed as 0's. If kptr_restrict is set to 2, kernel pointers using %pK are printed as 0's regardless of privileges. Replacing with 0's was chosen over the default "(null)", which cannot be parsed by userland %p, which expects "(nil)".

kernel/sysctl.c: add cap_last_cap to /proc/sys/kernel Userspace needs to know the highest valid capability of the running kernel, which right now cannot reliably be retrieved from the header files only. The fact that this value cannot be determined properly right now creates various problems for libraries compiled on newer header files which are run on older kernels. They assume capabilities are available which actually aren't. libcap-ng is one example. And we ran into the same problem with systemd too. Now the capability is exported in /proc/sys/kernel/cap_last_cap.

lockup_detector: Combine nmi_watchdog and softlockup detector The new nmi_watchdog (which uses the perf event subsystem) is very similar in structure to the softlockup detector. Using Ingo's suggestion, I combined the two functionalities into one file: kernel/watchdog.c. Now both the nmi_watchdog (or hardlockup detector) and softlockup detector sit on top of the perf event subsystem, which is run every 60 seconds or so to see if there are any lockups. To detect hardlockups, cpus not responding to interrupts, I implemented an hrtimer that runs 5 times for every perf event overflow event. If that stops counting on a cpu, then the cpu is most likely in trouble. To detect softlockups, tasks not yielding to the scheduler, I used the previous kthread idea that now gets kicked every time the hrtimer fires. If the kthread isn't being scheduled neither is anyone else and the warning is printed to the console. I tested this on x86_64 and both the softlockup and hardlockup paths work. V2: - cleaned up the Kconfig and softlockup combination - surrounded hardlockup cases with #ifdef CONFIG_PERF_EVENTS_NMI - seperated out the softlockup case from perf event subsystem - re-arranged the enabling/disabling nmi watchdog from proc space - added cpumasks for hardlockup failure cases - removed fallback to soft events if no PMU exists for hard events V3: - comment cleanups - drop support for older softlockup code - per_cpu cleanups - completely remove software clock base hardlockup detector - use per_cpu masking on hard/soft lockup detection - #ifdef cleanups - rename config option NMI_WATCHDOG to LOCKUP_DETECTOR - documentation additions V4: - documentation fixes - convert per_cpu to __get_cpu_var - powerpc compile fixes V5: - split apart warn flags for hard and soft lockups TODO: - figure out how to make an arch-agnostic clock2cycles call (if possible) to feed into perf events as a sample period [fweisbec: merged conflict patch] Signed-off-by: Don Zickus <dzickus@redhat.com> Cc: Ingo Molnar <mingo@elte.hu> Cc: Peter Zijlstra <peterz@infradead.org> Cc: Cyrill Gorcunov <gorcunov@gmail.com> Cc: Eric Paris <eparis@redhat.com> Cc: Randy Dunlap <randy.dunlap@oracle.com> LKML-Reference: <1273266711-18706-2-git-send-email-dzickus@redhat.com> Signed-off-by: Frederic Weisbecker <fweisbec@gmail.com>

watchdog: enable the new user interface of the watchdog mechanism With the current user interface of the watchdog mechanism it is only possible to disable or enable both lockup detectors at the same time. This series introduces new kernel parameters and changes the semantics of some existing kernel parameters, so that the hard lockup detector and the soft lockup detector can be disabled or enabled individually. With this series applied, the user interface is as follows. - parameters in /proc/sys/kernel . soft_watchdog This is a new parameter to control and examine the run state of the soft lockup detector. . nmi_watchdog The semantics of this parameter have changed. It can now be used to control and examine the run state of the hard lockup detector. . watchdog This parameter is still available to control the run state of both lockup detectors at the same time. If this parameter is examined, it shows the logical OR of soft_watchdog and nmi_watchdog. . watchdog_thresh The semantics of this parameter are not affected by the patch. - kernel command line parameters . nosoftlockup The semantics of this parameter have changed. It can now be used to disable the soft lockup detector at boot time. . nmi_watchdog=0 or nmi_watchdog=1 Disable or enable the hard lockup detector at boot time. The patch introduces '=1' as a new option. . nowatchdog The semantics of this parameter are not affected by the patch. It is still available to disable both lockup detectors at boot time.

kernel/watchdog.c: print traces for all cpus on lockup detection A 'softlockup' is defined as a bug that causes the kernel to loop in kernel mode for more than a predefined period to time, without giving other tasks a chance to run. Currently, upon detection of this condition by the per-cpu watchdog task, debug information (including a stack trace) is sent to the system log. On some occasions, we have observed that the "victim" rather than the actual "culprit" (i.e. the owner/holder of the contended resource) is reported to the user. Often this information has proven to be insufficient to assist debugging efforts. To avoid loss of useful debug information, for architectures which support NMI, this patch makes it possible to improve soft lockup reporting. This is accomplished by issuing an NMI to each cpu to obtain a stack trace. If NMI is not supported we just revert back to the old method. A sysctl and boot-time parameter is available to toggle this feature.

kernel/watchdog.c: print traces for all cpus on lockup detection A 'softlockup' is defined as a bug that causes the kernel to loop in kernel mode for more than a predefined period to time, without giving other tasks a chance to run. Currently, upon detection of this condition by the per-cpu watchdog task, debug information (including a stack trace) is sent to the system log. On some occasions, we have observed that the "victim" rather than the actual "culprit" (i.e. the owner/holder of the contended resource) is reported to the user. Often this information has proven to be insufficient to assist debugging efforts. To avoid loss of useful debug information, for architectures which support NMI, this patch makes it possible to improve soft lockup reporting. This is accomplished by issuing an NMI to each cpu to obtain a stack trace. If NMI is not supported we just revert back to the old method. A sysctl and boot-time parameter is available to toggle this feature.

x86, NMI: Add back unknown_nmi_panic and nmi_watchdog sysctls Originally adapted from Huang Ying's patch which moved the unknown_nmi_panic to the traps.c file.

kernel/watchdog: split up config options Split SOFTLOCKUP_DETECTOR from LOCKUP_DETECTOR, and split HARDLOCKUP_DETECTOR_PERF from HARDLOCKUP_DETECTOR. LOCKUP_DETECTOR implies the general boot, sysctl, and programming interfaces for the lockup detectors. An architecture that wants to use a hard lockup detector must define HAVE_HARDLOCKUP_DETECTOR_PERF or HAVE_HARDLOCKUP_DETECTOR_ARCH. Alternatively an arch can define HAVE_NMI_WATCHDOG, which provides the minimum arch_touch_nmi_watchdog, and it otherwise does its own thing and does not implement the LOCKUP_DETECTOR interfaces. sparc is unusual in that it has started to implement some of the interfaces, but not fully yet. It should probably be converted to a full HAVE_HARDLOCKUP_DETECTOR_ARCH.

A small number of systems do generate NMI's for bizarre random reasons such as power management so the default is unchanged. In other respects the new proc/sys entry works like the existing panic controls already in that directory.

This is because in general the overflow may corrupt data, and the additional corruption may occur due to reading them unless systems stop.

That's little inflexible; I'd like userland s2ram application that just works, and modifying kernel command line according to whitelist is not fun. It is better to just allow s2ram application to set video options just before suspend (according to the whitelist). This implements sysctl to allow setting suspend video options without reboot.

kernel/hung_task.c: allow to set checking interval separately from timeout Currently task hung checking interval is equal to timeout, as the result hung is detected anywhere between timeout and 2*timeout. This is fine for most interactive environments, but this hurts automated testing setups (syzbot). In an automated setup we need to strictly order CPU lockup < RCU stall < workqueue lockup < task hung < silent loss, so that RCU stall is not detected as task hung and task hung is not detected as silent machine loss. The large variance in task hung detection timeout requires setting silent machine loss timeout to a very large value (e.g. if task hung is 3 mins, then silent loss need to be set to ~7 mins). The additional 3 minutes significantly reduce testing efficiency because usually we crash kernel within a minute, and this can add hours to bug localization process as it needs to do dozens of tests. Allow setting checking interval separately from timeout. This allows to set timeout to, say, 3 minutes, but checking interval to 10 secs. The interval is controlled via a new hung_task_check_interval_secs sysctl, similar to the existing hung_task_timeout_secs sysctl. The default value of 0 results in the current behavior: checking interval is equal to timeout.

proc: maps protection The /proc/pid/ "maps", "smaps", and "numa_maps" files contain sensitive information about the memory location and usage of processes. Issues: - maps should not be world-readable, especially if programs expect any kind of ASLR protection from local attackers. - maps cannot just be 0400 because "-D_FORTIFY_SOURCE=2 -O2" makes glibc check the maps when %n is in a *printf call, and a setuid(getuid()) process wouldn't be able to read its own maps file. (For reference see http://lkml.org/lkml/2006/1/22/150) - a system-wide toggle is needed to allow prior behavior in the case of non-root applications that depend on access to the maps contents. This change implements a check using "ptrace_may_attach" before allowing access to read the maps contents. To control this protection, the new knob /proc/sys/kernel/maps_protect has been added, with corresponding updates to the procfs documentation.

perf: Do the big rename: Performance Counters -> Performance Events Bye-bye Performance Counters, welcome Performance Events! In the past few months the perfcounters subsystem has grown out its initial role of counting hardware events, and has become (and is becoming) a much broader generic event enumeration, reporting, logging, monitoring, analysis facility. Naming its core object 'perf_counter' and naming the subsystem 'perfcounters' has become more and more of a misnomer. With pending code like hw-breakpoints support the 'counter' name is less and less appropriate. All in one, we've decided to rename the subsystem to 'performance events' and to propagate this rename through all fields, variables and API names. (in an ABI compatible fashion) The word 'event' is also a bit shorter than 'counter' - which makes it slightly more convenient to write/handle as well. Thanks goes to Stephane Eranian who first observed this misnomer and suggested a rename. User-space tooling and ABI compatibility is not affected - this patch should be function-invariant. (Also, defconfigs were not touched to keep the size down.)

This script can also be used by anyone who has pending perfcounters patches - it converts a Linux kernel tree over to the new naming. We tried to time this change to the point in time where the amount of pending patches is the smallest: the end of the merge window. Namespace clashes were fixed up in a preparatory patch - and some stylistic fallout will be fixed up in a subsequent patch. ( NOTE: 'counters' are still the proper terminology when we deal with hardware registers - and these sed scripts are a bit over-eager in renaming them.

perf: Do the big rename: Performance Counters -> Performance Events Bye-bye Performance Counters, welcome Performance Events! In the past few months the perfcounters subsystem has grown out its initial role of counting hardware events, and has become (and is becoming) a much broader generic event enumeration, reporting, logging, monitoring, analysis facility. Naming its core object 'perf_counter' and naming the subsystem 'perfcounters' has become more and more of a misnomer. With pending code like hw-breakpoints support the 'counter' name is less and less appropriate. All in one, we've decided to rename the subsystem to 'performance events' and to propagate this rename through all fields, variables and API names. (in an ABI compatible fashion) The word 'event' is also a bit shorter than 'counter' - which makes it slightly more convenient to write/handle as well. Thanks goes to Stephane Eranian who first observed this misnomer and suggested a rename. User-space tooling and ABI compatibility is not affected - this patch should be function-invariant. (Also, defconfigs were not touched to keep the size down.) This patch has been generated via the following script: FILES=$(find * -type f | grep -vE 'oprofile|[^K]config') sed -i \ -e 's/PERF_EVENT_/PERF_RECORD_/g' \ -e 's/PERF_COUNTER/PERF_EVENT/g' \ -e 's/perf_counter/perf_event/g' \ -e 's/nb_counters/nb_events/g' \ -e 's/swcounter/swevent/g' \ -e 's/tpcounter_event/tp_event/g' \ $FILES for N in $(find . -name perf_counter.[ch]); do M=$(echo $N | sed 's/perf_counter/perf_event/g') mv $N $M done FILES=$(find . -name perf_event.*) sed -i \ -e 's/COUNTER_MASK/REG_MASK/g' \ -e 's/COUNTER/EVENT/g' \ -e 's/\<event\>/event_id/g' \ -e 's/counter/event/g' \ -e 's/Counter/Event/g' \ $FILES ... to keep it as correct as possible. This script can also be used by anyone who has pending perfcounters patches - it converts a Linux kernel tree over to the new naming. We tried to time this change to the point in time where the amount of pending patches is the smallest: the end of the merge window. Namespace clashes were fixed up in a preparatory patch - and some stylistic fallout will be fixed up in a subsequent patch. ( NOTE: 'counters' are still the proper terminology when we deal with hardware registers - and these sed scripts are a bit over-eager in renaming them. I've undone some of that, but in case there's something left where 'counter' would be better than 'event' we can undo that on an individual basis instead of touching an otherwise nicely automated patch. ) Suggested-by: Stephane Eranian <eranian@google.com> Acked-by: Peter Zijlstra <a.p.zijlstra@chello.nl> Acked-by: Paul Mackerras <paulus@samba.org> Reviewed-by: Arjan van de Ven <arjan@linux.intel.com> Cc: Mike Galbraith <efault@gmx.de> Cc: Arnaldo Carvalho de Melo <acme@redhat.com> Cc: Frederic Weisbecker <fweisbec@gmail.com> Cc: Steven Rostedt <rostedt@goodmis.org> Cc: Benjamin Herrenschmidt <benh@kernel.crashing.org> Cc: David Howells <dhowells@redhat.com> Cc: Kyle McMartin <kyle@mcmartin.ca> Cc: Martin Schwidefsky <schwidefsky@de.ibm.com> Cc: "David S.

perf: Drop sample rate when sampling is too slow This patch keeps track of how long perf's NMI handler is taking, and also calculates how many samples perf can take a second. If the sample length times the expected max number of samples exceeds a configurable threshold, it drops the sample rate. This way, we don't have a runaway sampling process eating up the CPU. This patch can tend to drop the sample rate down to level where perf doesn't work very well. *BUT* the alternative is that my system hangs because it spends all of its time handling NMIs. I'll take a busted performance tool over an entire system that's busted and undebuggable any day. BTW, my suspicion is that there's still an underlying bug here. Using the HPET instead of the TSC is definitely a contributing factor, but I suspect there are some other things going on. But, I can't go dig down on a bug like that with my machine hanging all the time.

So allocate a bunch of extra entries for contexts, and do the accounting via perf_callchain_entry_ctx struct members. A new sysctl, kernel.perf_event_max_contexts_per_stack is also introduced for investigating possible bugs in the callchain implementation by some arch.

kernel: add panic_on_warn There have been several times where I have had to rebuild a kernel to cause a panic when hitting a WARN() in the code in order to get a crash dump from a system. Sometimes this is easy to do, other times (such as in the case of a remote admin) it is not trivial to send new images to the user. A much easier method would be a switch to change the WARN() over to a panic. This makes debugging easier in that I can now test the actual image the WARN() was seen on and I do not have to engage in remote debugging. This patch adds a panic_on_warn kernel parameter and /proc/sys/kernel/panic_on_warn calls panic() in the warn_slowpath_common() path. The function will still print out the location of the warning.

bpf: enable non-root eBPF programs In order to let unprivileged users load and execute eBPF programs teach verifier to prevent pointer leaks. Verifier will prevent - any arithmetic on pointers (except R10+Imm which is used to compute stack addresses) - comparison of pointers (except if (map_value_ptr == 0) ... ) - passing pointers to helper functions - indirectly passing pointers in stack to helper functions - returning pointer from bpf program - storing pointers into ctx or maps Spill/fill of pointers into stack is allowed, but mangling of pointers stored in the stack or reading them byte by byte is not. Within bpf programs the pointers do exist, since programs need to be able to access maps, pass skb pointer to LD_ABS insns, etc but programs cannot pass such pointer values to the outside or obfuscate them. Only allow BPF_PROG_TYPE_SOCKET_FILTER unprivileged programs, so that socket filters (tcpdump), af_packet (quic acceleration) and future kcm can use it. tracing and tc cls/act program types still require root permissions, since tracing actually needs to be able to see all kernel pointers and tc is for root only. For example, the following unprivileged socket filter program is allowed: int bpf_prog1(struct __sk_buff *skb) { u32 index = load_byte(skb, ETH_HLEN + offsetof(struct iphdr, protocol)); u64 *value = bpf_map_lookup_elem(&my_map, &index); if (value) *value += skb->len; return 0; } but the following program is not: int bpf_prog1(struct __sk_buff *skb) { u32 index = load_byte(skb, ETH_HLEN + offsetof(struct iphdr, protocol)); u64 *value = bpf_map_lookup_elem(&my_map, &index); if (value) *value += (u64) skb; return 0; } since it would leak the kernel address into the map. Unprivileged socket filter bpf programs have access to the following helper functions: - map lookup/update/delete (but they cannot store kernel pointers into them) - get_random (it's already exposed to unprivileged user space) - get_smp_processor_id - tail_call into another socket filter program - ktime_get_ns The feature is controlled by sysctl kernel.unprivileged_bpf_disabled. This toggle defaults to off (0), but can be set true (1). Once true, bpf programs and maps cannot be accessed from unprivileged process, and the toggle cannot be set back to false.

bpf: enable program stats JITed BPF programs are indistinguishable from kernel functions, but unlike kernel code BPF code can be changed often. Typical approach of "perf record" + "perf report" profiling and tuning of kernel code works just as well for BPF programs, but kernel code doesn't need to be monitored whereas BPF programs do. Users load and run large amount of BPF programs. These BPF stats allow tools monitor the usage of BPF on the server. The monitoring tools will turn sysctl kernel.bpf_stats_enabled on and off for few seconds to sample average cost of the programs. Aggregated data over hours and days will provide an insight into cost of BPF and alarms can trigger in case given program suddenly gets more expensive. The cost of two sched_clock() per program invocation adds ~20 nsec. Fast BPF progs (like selftests/bpf/progs/test_pkt_access.c) will slow down from ~10 nsec to ~30 nsec. static_key minimizes the cost of the stats collection.

rcu: sysctl: Panic on RCU Stall It is not always easy to determine the cause of an RCU stall just by analysing the RCU stall messages, mainly when the problem is caused by the indirect starvation of rcu threads. For example, when preempt_rcu is not awakened due to the starvation of a timer softirq. We have been hard coding panic() in the RCU stall functions for some time while testing the kernel-rt. But this is not possible in some scenarios, like when supporting customers. This patch implements the sysctl kernel.panic_on_rcu_stall. If set to 1, the system will panic() when an RCU stall takes place, enabling the capture of a vmcore. The vmcore provides a way to analyze all kernel/tasks states, helping out to point to the culprit and the solution for the stall. The kernel.panic_on_rcu_stall sysctl is disabled by default. Changes from v1: - Fixed a typo in the git log - The if(sysctl_panic_on_rcu_stall) panic() is in a static function - Fixed the CONFIG_TINY_RCU compilation issue - The var sysctl_panic_on_rcu_stall is now __read_mostly Cc: Jonathan Corbet <corbet@lwn.net> Cc: "Paul E.

[PATCH] support for panic at OOM This patch adds panic_on_oom sysctl under sys.vm. When sysctl vm.panic_on_oom = 1, the kernel panics intead of killing rogue processes. And if vm.panic_on_oom is 0 the kernel will do oom_kill() in the same way as it does today. Of course, the default value is 0 and only root can modifies it. In general, oom_killer works well and kill rogue processes. So the whole system can survive. But there are environments where panic is preferable rather than kill some processes.

oom: add sysctl to enable task memory dump Adds a new sysctl, 'oom_dump_tasks', that enables the kernel to produce a dump of all system tasks (excluding kernel threads) when performing an OOM-killing. Information includes pid, uid, tgid, vm size, rss, cpu, oom_adj score, and name. This is helpful for determining why there was an OOM condition and which rogue task caused it. It is configurable so that large systems, such as those with several thousand tasks, do not incur a performance penalty associated with dumping data they may not desire. If an OOM was triggered as a result of a memory controller, the tasklist shall be filtered to exclude tasks that are not a member of the same cgroup.

mm: add overcommit_kbytes sysctl variable Some applications that run on HPC clusters are designed around the availability of RAM and the overcommit ratio is fine tuned to get the maximum usage of memory without swapping. With growing memory, the 1%-of-all-RAM grain provided by overcommit_ratio has become too coarse for these workload (on a 2TB machine it represents no less than 20GB). This patch adds the new overcommit_kbytes sysctl variable that allow a much finer grain.

mm: add dirty_background_bytes and dirty_bytes sysctls This change introduces two new sysctls to /proc/sys/vm: dirty_background_bytes and dirty_bytes. dirty_background_bytes is the counterpart to dirty_background_ratio and dirty_bytes is the counterpart to dirty_ratio. With growing memory capacities of individual machines, it's no longer sufficient to specify dirty thresholds as a percentage of the amount of dirtyable memory over the entire system. dirty_background_bytes and dirty_bytes specify quantities of memory, in bytes, that represent the dirty limits for the entire system. If either of these values is set, its value represents the amount of dirty memory that is needed to commence either background or direct writeback. When a `bytes' or `ratio' file is written, its counterpart becomes a function of the written value. For example, if dirty_bytes is written to be 8096, 8K of memory is required to commence direct writeback. dirty_ratio is then functionally equivalent to 8K / the amount of dirtyable memory: dirtyable_memory = free pages + mapped pages + file cache dirty_background_bytes = dirty_background_ratio * dirtyable_memory -or- dirty_background_ratio = dirty_background_bytes / dirtyable_memory AND dirty_bytes = dirty_ratio * dirtyable_memory -or- dirty_ratio = dirty_bytes / dirtyable_memory Only one of dirty_background_bytes and dirty_background_ratio may be specified at a time, and only one of dirty_bytes and dirty_ratio may be specified. When one sysctl is written, the other appears as 0 when read. The `bytes' files operate on a page size granularity since dirty limits are compared with ZVC values, which are in page units. Prior to this change, the minimum dirty_ratio was 5 as implemented by get_dirty_limits() although /proc/sys/vm/dirty_ratio would show any user written value between 0 and 100. This restriction is maintained, but dirty_bytes has a lower limit of only one page. Also prior to this change, the dirty_background_ratio could not equal or exceed dirty_ratio. This restriction is maintained in addition to restricting dirty_background_bytes. If either background threshold equals or exceeds that of the dirty threshold, it is implicitly set to half the dirty threshold.

mm: add dirty_background_bytes and dirty_bytes sysctls This change introduces two new sysctls to /proc/sys/vm: dirty_background_bytes and dirty_bytes. dirty_background_bytes is the counterpart to dirty_background_ratio and dirty_bytes is the counterpart to dirty_ratio. With growing memory capacities of individual machines, it's no longer sufficient to specify dirty thresholds as a percentage of the amount of dirtyable memory over the entire system. dirty_background_bytes and dirty_bytes specify quantities of memory, in bytes, that represent the dirty limits for the entire system. If either of these values is set, its value represents the amount of dirty memory that is needed to commence either background or direct writeback. When a `bytes' or `ratio' file is written, its counterpart becomes a function of the written value. For example, if dirty_bytes is written to be 8096, 8K of memory is required to commence direct writeback. dirty_ratio is then functionally equivalent to 8K / the amount of dirtyable memory: dirtyable_memory = free pages + mapped pages + file cache dirty_background_bytes = dirty_background_ratio * dirtyable_memory -or- dirty_background_ratio = dirty_background_bytes / dirtyable_memory AND dirty_bytes = dirty_ratio * dirtyable_memory -or- dirty_ratio = dirty_bytes / dirtyable_memory Only one of dirty_background_bytes and dirty_background_ratio may be specified at a time, and only one of dirty_bytes and dirty_ratio may be specified. When one sysctl is written, the other appears as 0 when read. The `bytes' files operate on a page size granularity since dirty limits are compared with ZVC values, which are in page units. Prior to this change, the minimum dirty_ratio was 5 as implemented by get_dirty_limits() although /proc/sys/vm/dirty_ratio would show any user written value between 0 and 100. This restriction is maintained, but dirty_bytes has a lower limit of only one page. Also prior to this change, the dirty_background_ratio could not equal or exceed dirty_ratio. This restriction is maintained in addition to restricting dirty_background_bytes. If either background threshold equals or exceeds that of the dirty threshold, it is implicitly set to half the dirty threshold.

hugetlb: derive huge pages nodes allowed from task mempolicy This patch derives a "nodes_allowed" node mask from the numa mempolicy of the task modifying the number of persistent huge pages to control the allocation, freeing and adjusting of surplus huge pages when the pool page count is modified via the new sysctl or sysfs attribute "nr_hugepages_mempolicy". The nodes_allowed mask is derived as follows: * For "default" [NULL] task mempolicy, a NULL nodemask_t pointer is produced. This will cause the hugetlb subsystem to use node_online_map as the "nodes_allowed". This preserves the behavior before this patch. * For "preferred" mempolicy, including explicit local allocation, a nodemask with the single preferred node will be produced. "local" policy will NOT track any internode migrations of the task adjusting nr_hugepages. * For "bind" and "interleave" policy, the mempolicy's nodemask will be used. * Other than to inform the construction of the nodes_allowed node mask, the actual mempolicy mode is ignored. That is, all modes behave like interleave over the resulting nodes_allowed mask with no "fallback". See the updated documentation [next patch] for more information about the implications of this patch. Examples: Starting with: Node 0 HugePages_Total: 0 Node 1 HugePages_Total: 0 Node 2 HugePages_Total: 0 Node 3 HugePages_Total: 0 Default behavior [with or without this patch] balances persistent hugepage allocation across nodes [with sufficient contiguous memory]: sysctl vm.nr_hugepages[_mempolicy]=32 yields: Node 0 HugePages_Total: 8 Node 1 HugePages_Total: 8 Node 2 HugePages_Total: 8 Node 3 HugePages_Total: 8 Of course, we only have nr_hugepages_mempolicy with the patch, but with default mempolicy, nr_hugepages_mempolicy behaves the same as nr_hugepages. Applying mempolicy--e.g., with numactl [using '-m' a.k.a. '--membind' because it allows multiple nodes to be specified and it's easy to type]--we can allocate huge pages on individual nodes or sets of nodes. So, starting from the condition above, with 8 huge pages per node, add 8 more to node 2 using: numactl -m 2 sysctl vm.nr_hugepages_mempolicy=40 This yields: Node 0 HugePages_Total: 8 Node 1 HugePages_Total: 8 Node 2 HugePages_Total: 16 Node 3 HugePages_Total: 8 The incremental 8 huge pages were restricted to node 2 by the specified mempolicy. Similarly, we can use mempolicy to free persistent huge pages from specified nodes: numactl -m 0,1 sysctl vm.nr_hugepages_mempolicy=32 yields: Node 0 HugePages_Total: 4 Node 1 HugePages_Total: 4 Node 2 HugePages_Total: 16 Node 3 HugePages_Total: 8 The 8 huge pages freed were balanced over nodes 0 and 1.

mm, sysctl: make NUMA stats configurable This is the second step which introduces a tunable interface that allow numa stats configurable for optimizing zone_statistics(), as suggested by Dave Hansen and Ying Huang. ========================================================================= When page allocation performance becomes a bottleneck and you can tolerate some possible tool breakage and decreased numa counter precision, you can do: echo 0 > /proc/sys/vm/numa_stat In this case, numa counter update is ignored. We can see about *4.8%*(185->176) drop of cpu cycles per single page allocation and reclaim on Jesper's page_bench01 (single thread) and *8.1%*(343->315) drop of cpu cycles per single page allocation and reclaim on Jesper's page_bench03 (88 threads) running on a 2-Socket Broadwell-based server (88 threads, 126G memory). Benchmark link provided by Jesper D Brouer (increase loop times to 10000000): https://github.com/netoptimizer/prototype-kernel/tree/master/kernel/mm/bench ========================================================================= When page allocation performance is not a bottleneck and you want all tooling to work, you can do: echo 1 > /proc/sys/vm/numa_stat This is system default setting.

hugetlb: derive huge pages nodes allowed from task mempolicy This patch derives a "nodes_allowed" node mask from the numa mempolicy of the task modifying the number of persistent huge pages to control the allocation, freeing and adjusting of surplus huge pages when the pool page count is modified via the new sysctl or sysfs attribute "nr_hugepages_mempolicy". The nodes_allowed mask is derived as follows: * For "default" [NULL] task mempolicy, a NULL nodemask_t pointer is produced. This will cause the hugetlb subsystem to use node_online_map as the "nodes_allowed". This preserves the behavior before this patch. * For "preferred" mempolicy, including explicit local allocation, a nodemask with the single preferred node will be produced. "local" policy will NOT track any internode migrations of the task adjusting nr_hugepages. * For "bind" and "interleave" policy, the mempolicy's nodemask will be used. * Other than to inform the construction of the nodes_allowed node mask, the actual mempolicy mode is ignored. That is, all modes behave like interleave over the resulting nodes_allowed mask with no "fallback". See the updated documentation [next patch] for more information about the implications of this patch. Examples: Starting with: Node 0 HugePages_Total: 0 Node 1 HugePages_Total: 0 Node 2 HugePages_Total: 0 Node 3 HugePages_Total: 0 Default behavior [with or without this patch] balances persistent hugepage allocation across nodes [with sufficient contiguous memory]: sysctl vm.nr_hugepages[_mempolicy]=32 yields: Node 0 HugePages_Total: 8 Node 1 HugePages_Total: 8 Node 2 HugePages_Total: 8 Node 3 HugePages_Total: 8 Of course, we only have nr_hugepages_mempolicy with the patch, but with default mempolicy, nr_hugepages_mempolicy behaves the same as nr_hugepages. Applying mempolicy--e.g., with numactl [using '-m' a.k.a. '--membind' because it allows multiple nodes to be specified and it's easy to type]--we can allocate huge pages on individual nodes or sets of nodes. So, starting from the condition above, with 8 huge pages per node, add 8 more to node 2 using: numactl -m 2 sysctl vm.nr_hugepages_mempolicy=40 This yields: Node 0 HugePages_Total: 8 Node 1 HugePages_Total: 8 Node 2 HugePages_Total: 16 Node 3 HugePages_Total: 8 The incremental 8 huge pages were restricted to node 2 by the specified mempolicy. Similarly, we can use mempolicy to free persistent huge pages from specified nodes: numactl -m 0,1 sysctl vm.nr_hugepages_mempolicy=32 yields: Node 0 HugePages_Total: 4 Node 1 HugePages_Total: 4 Node 2 HugePages_Total: 16 Node 3 HugePages_Total: 8 The 8 huge pages freed were balanced over nodes 0 and 1.

hugetlb: introduce nr_overcommit_hugepages sysctl hugetlb: introduce nr_overcommit_hugepages sysctl While examining the code to support /proc/sys/vm/hugetlb_dynamic_pool, I became convinced that having a boolean sysctl was insufficient: 1) To support per-node control of hugepages, I have previously submitted patches to add a sysfs attribute related to nr_hugepages. However, with a boolean global value and per-mount quota enforcement constraining the dynamic pool, adding corresponding control of the dynamic pool on a per-node basis seems inconsistent to me. 2) Administration of the hugetlb dynamic pool with multiple hugetlbfs mount points is, arguably, more arduous than it needs to be. Each quota would need to be set separately, and the sum would need to be monitored. To ease the administration, and to help make the way for per-node control of the static & dynamic hugepage pool, I added a separate sysctl, nr_overcommit_hugepages. This value serves as a high watermark for the overall hugepage pool, while nr_hugepages serves as a low watermark. The boolean sysctl can then be removed, as the condition nr_overcommit_hugepages > 0 indicates the same administrative setting as hugetlb_dynamic_pool == 1 Quotas still serve as local enforcement of the size of the pool on a per-mount basis. A few caveats: 1) There is a race whereby the global surplus huge page counter is incremented before a hugepage has allocated. Another process could then try grow the pool, and fail to convert a surplus huge page to a normal huge page and instead allocate a fresh huge page. I believe this is benign, as no memory is leaked (the actual pages are still tracked correctly) and the counters won't go out of sync. 2) Shrinking the static pool while a surplus is in effect will allow the number of surplus huge pages to exceed the overcommit value. As long as this condition holds, however, no more surplus huge pages will be allowed on the system until one of the two sysctls are increased sufficiently, or the surplus huge pages go out of use and are freed. Successfully tested on x86_64 with the current libhugetlbfs snapshot, modified to use the new sysctl.

drop_caches: add some documentation and info message There is plenty of anecdotal evidence and a load of blog posts suggesting that using "drop_caches" periodically keeps your system running in "tip top shape". Perhaps adding some kernel documentation will increase the amount of accurate data on its use. If we are not shrinking caches effectively, then we have real bugs. Using drop_caches will simply mask the bugs and make them harder to find, but certainly does not fix them, nor is it an appropriate "workaround" to limit the size of the caches. On the contrary, there have been bug reports on issues that turned out to be misguided use of cache dropping. Dropping caches is a very drastic and disruptive operation that is good for debugging and running tests, but if it creates bug reports from production use, kernel developers should be aware of its use. Add a bit more documentation about it, a syslog message to track down abusers, and vmstat drop counters to help analyze problem reports.

mm: allow compaction of unevictable pages Currently, pages which are marked as unevictable are protected from compaction, but not from other types of migration. The POSIX real time extension explicitly states that mlock() will prevent a major page fault, but the spirit of this is that mlock() should give a process the ability to control sources of latency, including minor page faults. However, the mlock manpage only explicitly says that a locked page will not be written to swap and this can cause some confusion. The compaction code today does not give a developer who wants to avoid swap but wants to have large contiguous areas available any method to achieve this state. This patch introduces a sysctl for controlling compaction behavior with respect to the unevictable lru. Users who demand no page faults after a page is present can set compact_unevictable_allowed to 0 and users who need the large contiguous areas can enable compaction on locked memory by leaving the default value of 1. To illustrate this problem I wrote a quick test program that mmaps a large number of 1MB files filled with random data. These maps are created locked and read only. Then every other mmap is unmapped and I attempt to allocate huge pages to the static huge page pool. When the compact_unevictable_allowed sysctl is 0, I cannot allocate hugepages after fragmenting memory. When the value is set to 1, allocations succeed.

mm: compaction: add a tunable that decides when memory should be compacted and when it should be reclaimed The kernel applies some heuristics when deciding if memory should be compacted or reclaimed to satisfy a high-order allocation. One of these is based on the fragmentation. If the index is below 500, memory will not be compacted. This choice is arbitrary and not based on data. To help optimise the system and set a sensible default for this value, this patch adds a sysctl extfrag_threshold. The kernel will only compact memory if the fragmentation index is above the extfrag_threshold.

mm: reclaim small amounts of memory when an external fragmentation event occurs An external fragmentation event was previously described as When the page allocator fragments memory, it records the event using the mm_page_alloc_extfrag event. If the fallback_order is smaller than a pageblock order (order-9 on 64-bit x86) then it's considered an event that will cause external fragmentation issues in the future. The kernel reduces the probability of such events by increasing the watermark sizes by calling set_recommended_min_free_kbytes early in the lifetime of the system. This works reasonably well in general but if there are enough sparsely populated pageblocks then the problem can still occur as enough memory is free overall and kswapd stays asleep. This patch introduces a watermark_boost_factor sysctl that allows a zone watermark to be temporarily boosted when an external fragmentation causing events occurs. The boosting will stall allocations that would decrease free memory below the boosted low watermark and kswapd is woken if the calling context allows to reclaim an amount of memory relative to the size of the high watermark and the watermark_boost_factor until the boost is cleared. When kswapd finishes, it wakes kcompactd at the pageblock order to clean some of the pageblocks that may have been affected by the fragmentation event. kswapd avoids any writeback, slab shrinkage and swap from reclaim context during this operation to avoid excessive system disruption in the name of fragmentation avoidance. Care is taken so that kswapd will do normal reclaim work if the system is really low on memory. This was evaluated using the same workloads as "mm, page_alloc: Spread allocations across zones before introducing fragmentation". 1-socket Skylake machine config-global-dhp__workload_thpfioscale XFS (no special madvise) 4 fio threads, 1 THP allocating thread -------------------------------------- 4.20-rc3 extfrag events < order 9: 804694 4.20-rc3+patch: 408912 (49% reduction) 4.20-rc3+patch1-4: 18421 (98% reduction) 4.20.0-rc3 4.20.0-rc3 lowzone-v5r8 boost-v5r8 Amean fault-base-1 653.58 ( 0.00%) 652.71 ( 0.13%) Amean fault-huge-1 0.00 ( 0.00%) 178.93 * -99.00%* 4.20.0-rc3 4.20.0-rc3 lowzone-v5r8 boost-v5r8 Percentage huge-1 0.00 ( 0.00%) 5.12 ( 100.00%) Note that external fragmentation causing events are massively reduced by this path whether in comparison to the previous kernel or the vanilla kernel.

mm: scale kswapd watermarks in proportion to memory In machines with 140G of memory and enterprise flash storage, we have seen read and write bursts routinely exceed the kswapd watermarks and cause thundering herds in direct reclaim. Unfortunately, the only way to tune kswapd aggressiveness is through adjusting min_free_kbytes - the system's emergency reserves - which is entirely unrelated to the system's latency requirements. In order to get kswapd to maintain a 250M buffer of free memory, the emergency reserves need to be set to 1G. That is a lot of memory wasted for no good reason. On the other hand, it's reasonable to assume that allocation bursts and overall allocation concurrency scale with memory capacity, so it makes sense to make kswapd aggressiveness a function of that as well. Change the kswapd watermark scale factor from the currently fixed 25% of the tunable emergency reserve to a tunable 0.1% of memory. Beyond 1G of memory, this will produce bigger watermark steps than the current formula in default settings. Ensure that the new formula never chooses steps smaller than that, i.e. 25% of the emergency reserve. On a 140G machine, this raises the default watermark steps - the distance between min and low, and low and high - from 16M to 143M.

[PATCH] ZVC/zone_reclaim: Leave 1% of unmapped pagecache pages for file I/O It turns out that it is advantageous to leave a small portion of unmapped file backed pages if all of a zone's pages (or almost all pages) are allocated and so the page allocator has to go off-node. This allows recently used file I/O buffers to stay on the node and reduces the times that zone reclaim is invoked if file I/O occurs when we run out of memory in a zone. The problem is that zone reclaim runs too frequently when the page cache is used for file I/O (read write and therefore unmapped pages!) alone and we have almost all pages of the zone allocated. Zone reclaim may remove 32 unmapped pages. File I/O will use these pages for the next read/write requests and the unmapped pages increase. After the zone has filled up again zone reclaim will remove it again after only 32 pages. This cycle is too inefficient and there are potentially too many zone reclaim cycles. With the 1% boundary we may still remove all unmapped pages for file I/O in zone reclaim pass. However. it will take a large number of read and writes to get back to 1% again where we trigger zone reclaim again. The zone reclaim 2.6.16/17 does not show this behavior because we have a 30 second timeout.

[PATCH] zone_reclaim: dynamic slab reclaim Currently one can enable slab reclaim by setting an explicit option in /proc/sys/vm/zone_reclaim_mode. Slab reclaim is then used as a final option if the freeing of unmapped file backed pages is not enough to free enough pages to allow a local allocation. However, that means that the slab can grow excessively and that most memory of a node may be used by slabs. We have had a case where a machine with 46GB of memory was using 40-42GB for slab. Zone reclaim was effective in dealing with pagecache pages. However, slab reclaim was only done during global reclaim (which is a bit rare on NUMA systems). This patch implements slab reclaim during zone reclaim. Zone reclaim occurs if there is a danger of an off node allocation. At that point we 1. Shrink the per node page cache if the number of pagecache pages is more than min_unmapped_ratio percent of pages in a zone. 2. Shrink the slab cache if the number of the nodes reclaimable slab pages (patch depends on earlier one that implements that counter) are more than min_slab_ratio (a new /proc/sys/vm tunable). The shrinking of the slab cache is a bit problematic since it is not node specific. So we simply calculate what point in the slab we want to reach (current per node slab use minus the number of pages that neeed to be allocated) and then repeately run the global reclaim until that is unsuccessful or we have reached the limit. I hope we will have zone based slab reclaim at some point which will make that easier. The default for the min_slab_ratio is 5% Also remove the slab option from /proc/sys/vm/zone_reclaim_mode.

[PATCH] vdso: randomize the i386 vDSO by moving it into a vma Move the i386 VDSO down into a vma and thus randomize it. Besides the security implications, this feature also helps debuggers, which can COW a vma-backed VDSO just like a normal DSO and can thus do single-stepping and other debugging features. It's good for hypervisors (Xen, VMWare) too, which typically live in the same high-mapped address space as the VDSO, hence whenever the VDSO is used, they get lots of guest pagefaults and have to fix such guest accesses up - which slows things down instead of speeding things up (the primary purpose of the VDSO). There's a new CONFIG_COMPAT_VDSO (default=y) option, which provides support for older glibcs that still rely on a prelinked high-mapped VDSO. Newer distributions (using glibc 2.3.3 or later) can turn this option off. Turning it off is also recommended for security reasons: attackers cannot use the predictable high-mapped VDSO page as syscall trampoline anymore. There is a new vdso=[0|1] boot option as well, and a runtime /proc/sys/vm/vdso_enabled sysctl switch, that allows the VDSO to be turned on/off. (This version of the VDSO-randomization patch also has working ELF coredumping, the previous patch crashed in the coredumping code.) This code is a combined work of the exec-shield VDSO randomization code and Gerd Hoffmann's hypervisor-centric VDSO patch. Rusty Russell started this patch and i completed it.

mm: /proc/sys/vm/stat_refresh to force vmstat update Provide /proc/sys/vm/stat_refresh to force an immediate update of per-cpu into global vmstats: useful to avoid a sleep(2) or whatever before checking counts when testing. Originally added to work around a bug which left counts stranded indefinitely on a cpu going idle (an inaccuracy magnified when small below-batch numbers represent "huge" amounts of memory), but I believe that bug is now fixed: nonetheless, this is still a useful knob. Its schedule_on_each_cpu() is probably too expensive just to fold into reading /proc/meminfo itself: give this mode 0600 to prevent abuse. Allow a write or a read to do the same: nothing to read, but "grep -h Shmem /proc/sys/vm/stat_refresh /proc/meminfo" is convenient. Oh, and since global_page_state() itself is careful to disguise any underflow as 0, hack in an "Invalid argument" and pr_warn() if a counter is negative after the refresh - this helped to fix a misaccounting of NR_ISOLATED_FILE in my migration code. But on recent kernels, I find that NR_ALLOC_BATCH and NR_PAGES_SCANNED often go negative some of the time. I have not yet worked out why, but have no evidence that it's actually harmful.

This patch causes SELinux to ignore the tunable and instead use a seperate Kconfig option specific to how much space the LSM should protect. The tunable will now only control the need for CAP_SYS_RAWIO and SELinux permissions will always protect the amount of low memory designated by CONFIG_LSM_MMAP_MIN_ADDR. This allows users who need to disable the mmap_min_addr controls (usual reason being they run WINE as a non-root user) to do so and still have SELinux controls preventing confined domains (like a web server) from being able to map some area of low memory.

By taking the memprotect name of the new class it will also make it possible for us to move some of the other memory protect permissions out of 'process' and into the new class next time we bump the policy version number (which I also think is a good future idea) Acked-by: Stephen Smalley <sds@tycho.nsa.gov> Acked-by: Chris Wright <chrisw@sous-sol.org> Signed-off-by: Eric Paris <eparis@redhat.com> Signed-off-by: James Morris <jmorris@namei.org>

NOMMU: Optimise away the {dac_,}mmap_min_addr tests In NOMMU mode clamp dac_mmap_min_addr to zero to cause the tests on it to be skipped by the compiler. We do this as the minimum mmap address doesn't make any sense in NOMMU mode. mmap_min_addr and round_hint_to_min() can be discarded entirely in NOMMU mode.

change zonelist order: zonelist order selection logic Make zonelist creation policy selectable from sysctl/boot option v6. This patch makes NUMA's zonelist (of pgdat) order selectable. Available order are Default(automatic)/ Node-based / Zone-based. [Default Order] The kernel selects Node-based or Zone-based order automatically. [Node-based Order] This policy treats the locality of memory as the most important parameter. Zonelist order is created by each zone's locality. This means lower zones (ex. ZONE_DMA) can be used before higher zone (ex. ZONE_NORMAL) exhausion. IOW. ZONE_DMA will be in the middle of zonelist. current 2.6.21 kernel uses this. Pros. * A user can expect local memory as much as possible. Cons. * lower zone will be exhansted before higher zone. This may cause OOM_KILL. Maybe suitable if ZONE_DMA is relatively big and you never see OOM_KILL because of ZONE_DMA exhaution and you need the best locality. (example) assume 2 node NUMA. node(0) has ZONE_DMA/ZONE_NORMAL, node(1) has ZONE_NORMAL. *node(0)'s memory allocation order: node(0)'s NORMAL -> node(0)'s DMA -> node(1)'s NORMAL. *node(1)'s memory allocation order: node(1)'s NORMAL -> node(0)'s NORMAL -> node(0)'s DMA. [Zone-based order] This policy treats the zone type as the most important parameter. Zonelist order is created by zone-type order. This means lower zone never be used bofere higher zone exhaustion. IOW. ZONE_DMA will be always at the tail of zonelist. Pros. * OOM_KILL(bacause of lower zone) occurs only if the whole zones are exhausted. Cons. * memory locality may not be best. (example) assume 2 node NUMA. node(0) has ZONE_DMA/ZONE_NORMAL, node(1) has ZONE_NORMAL. *node(0)'s memory allocation order: node(0)'s NORMAL -> node(1)'s NORMAL -> node(0)'s DMA. *node(1)'s memory allocation order: node(1)'s NORMAL -> node(0)'s NORMAL -> node(0)'s DMA. bootoption "numa_zonelist_order=" and proc/sysctl is supporetd. command: %echo N > /proc/sys/vm/numa_zonelist_order Will rebuild zonelist in Node-based order. command: %echo Z > /proc/sys/vm/numa_zonelist_order Will rebuild zonelist in Zone-based order.

minimal build fixes for uml (fallout from x86 merge) a) include/asm-um/arch can't just point to include/asm-$(SUBARCH) now b) arch/{i386,x86_64}/crypto are merged now c) subarch-obj needed changes d) cpufeature_64.h should pull "cpufeature_32.h", not <asm/cpufeature_32.h> since it can be included from asm-um/cpufeature.h e) in case of uml-i386 we need CONFIG_X86_32 for make and gcc, but not for Kconfig f) sysctl.c shouldn't do vdso_enabled for uml-i386 (actually, that one should be registered from corresponding arch/*/kernel/*, with ifdef going away; that's a separate patch, though).

[PATCH] vdso: randomize the i386 vDSO by moving it into a vma Move the i386 VDSO down into a vma and thus randomize it. Besides the security implications, this feature also helps debuggers, which can COW a vma-backed VDSO just like a normal DSO and can thus do single-stepping and other debugging features. It's good for hypervisors (Xen, VMWare) too, which typically live in the same high-mapped address space as the VDSO, hence whenever the VDSO is used, they get lots of guest pagefaults and have to fix such guest accesses up - which slows things down instead of speeding things up (the primary purpose of the VDSO). There's a new CONFIG_COMPAT_VDSO (default=y) option, which provides support for older glibcs that still rely on a prelinked high-mapped VDSO. Newer distributions (using glibc 2.3.3 or later) can turn this option off. Turning it off is also recommended for security reasons: attackers cannot use the predictable high-mapped VDSO page as syscall trampoline anymore. There is a new vdso=[0|1] boot option as well, and a runtime /proc/sys/vm/vdso_enabled sysctl switch, that allows the VDSO to be turned on/off. (This version of the VDSO-randomization patch also has working ELF coredumping, the previous patch crashed in the coredumping code.)

HWPOISON: The high level memory error handler in the VM v7 Add the high level memory handler that poisons pages that got corrupted by hardware (typically by a two bit flip in a DIMM or a cache) on the Linux level. The goal is to prevent everyone from accessing these pages in the future. This done at the VM level by marking a page hwpoisoned and doing the appropriate action based on the type of page it is. The code that does this is portable and lives in mm/memory-failure.c To quote the overview comment: High level machine check handler. Handles pages reported by the hardware as being corrupted usually due to a 2bit ECC memory or cache failure. This focuses on pages detected as corrupted in the background. When the current CPU tries to consume corruption the currently running process can just be killed directly instead. This implies that if the error cannot be handled for some reason it's safe to just ignore it because no corruption has been consumed yet. Instead when that happens another machine check will happen. Handles page cache pages in various states. The tricky part here is that we can access any page asynchronous to other VM users, because memory failures could happen anytime and anywhere, possibly violating some of their assumptions. This is why this code has to be extremely careful. Generally it tries to use normal locking rules, as in get the standard locks, even if that means the error handling takes potentially a long time. Some of the operations here are somewhat inefficient and have non linear algorithmic complexity, because the data structures have not been optimized for this case. This is in particular the case for the mapping from a vma to a process. Since this case is expected to be rare we hope we can get away with this. There are in principle two strategies to kill processes on poison: - just unmap the data and wait for an actual reference before killing - kill as soon as corruption is detected. Both have advantages and disadvantages and should be used in different situations. Right now both are implemented and can be switched with a new sysctl vm.memory_failure_early_kill The default is early kill. The patch does some rmap data structure walking on its own to collect processes to kill. This is unusual because normally all rmap data structure knowledge is in rmap.c only. I put it here for now to keep everything together and rmap knowledge has been seeping out anyways Includes contributions from Johannes Weiner, Chris Mason, Fengguang Wu, Nick Piggin (who did a lot of great work) and others.

HWPOISON: The high level memory error handler in the VM v7 Add the high level memory handler that poisons pages that got corrupted by hardware (typically by a two bit flip in a DIMM or a cache) on the Linux level. The goal is to prevent everyone from accessing these pages in the future. This done at the VM level by marking a page hwpoisoned and doing the appropriate action based on the type of page it is. The code that does this is portable and lives in mm/memory-failure.c To quote the overview comment: High level machine check handler. Handles pages reported by the hardware as being corrupted usually due to a 2bit ECC memory or cache failure. This focuses on pages detected as corrupted in the background. When the current CPU tries to consume corruption the currently running process can just be killed directly instead. This implies that if the error cannot be handled for some reason it's safe to just ignore it because no corruption has been consumed yet. Instead when that happens another machine check will happen. Handles page cache pages in various states.

mm: limit growth of 3% hardcoded other user reserve Add user_reserve_kbytes knob. Limit the growth of the memory reserved for other user processes to min(3% current process size, user_reserve_pages). Only about 8MB is necessary to enable recovery in the default mode, and only a few hundred MB are required even when overcommit is disabled. user_reserve_pages defaults to min(3% free pages, 128MB) I arrived at 128MB by taking the max VSZ of sshd, login, bash, and top ... then adding the RSS of each. This only affects OVERCOMMIT_NEVER mode. Background 1. user reserve __vm_enough_memory reserves a hardcoded 3% of the current process size for other applications when overcommit is disabled. This was done so that a user could recover if they launched a memory hogging process. Without the reserve, a user would easily run into a message such as: bash: fork: Cannot allocate memory 2. admin reserve Additionally, a hardcoded 3% of free memory is reserved for root in both overcommit 'guess' and 'never' modes. This was intended to prevent a scenario where root-cant-log-in and perform recovery operations. Note that this reserve shrinks, and doesn't guarantee a useful reserve. Motivation The two hardcoded memory reserves should be updated to account for current memory sizes. Also, the admin reserve would be more useful if it didn't shrink too much. When the current code was originally written, 1GB was considered "enterprise". Now the 3% reserve can grow to multiple GB on large memory systems, and it only needs to be a few hundred MB at most to enable a user or admin to recover a system with an unwanted memory hogging process. I've found that reducing these reserves is especially beneficial for a specific type of application load: * single application system * one or few processes (e.g. one per core) * allocating all available memory * not initializing every page immediately * long running I've run scientific clusters with this sort of load. A long running job sometimes failed many hours (weeks of CPU time) into a calculation. They weren't initializing all of their memory immediately, and they weren't using calloc, so I put systems into overcommit 'never' mode. These clusters run diskless and have no swap. However, with the current reserves, a user wishing to allocate as much memory as possible to one process may be prevented from using, for example, almost 2GB out of 32GB. The effect is less, but still significant when a user starts a job with one process per core. I have repeatedly seen a set of processes requesting the same amount of memory fail because one of them could not allocate the amount of memory a user would expect to be able to allocate. For example, Message Passing Interfce (MPI) processes, one per core. And it is similar for other parallel programming frameworks. Changing this reserve code will make the overcommit never mode more useful by allowing applications to allocate nearly all of the available memory. Also, the new admin_reserve_kbytes will be safer than the current behavior since the hardcoded 3% of available memory reserve can shrink to something useless in the case where applications have grabbed all available memory. Risks * "bash: fork: Cannot allocate memory" The downside of the first patch-- which creates a tunable user reserve that is only used in overcommit 'never' mode--is that an admin can set it so low that a user may not be able to kill their process, even if they already have a shell prompt. Of course, a user can get in the same predicament with the current 3% reserve--they just have to launch processes until 3% becomes negligible. * root-cant-log-in problem The second patch, adding the tunable rootuser_reserve_pages, allows the admin to shoot themselves in the foot by setting it too small. They can easily get the system into a state where root-can't-log-in. However, the new admin_reserve_kbytes will be safer than the current behavior since the hardcoded 3% of available memory reserve can shrink to something useless in the case where applications have grabbed all available memory. Alternatives * Memory cgroups provide a more flexible way to limit application memory. Not everyone wants to set up cgroups or deal with their overhead. * We could create a fourth overcommit mode which provides smaller reserves. The size of useful reserves may be drastically different depending on the whether the system is embedded or enterprise. * Force users to initialize all of their memory or use calloc. Some users don't want/expect the system to overcommit when they malloc. Overcommit 'never' mode is for this scenario, and it should work well. The new user and admin reserve tunables are simple to use, with low overhead compared to cgroups. The patches preserve current behavior where 3% of memory is less than 128MB, except that the admin reserve doesn't shrink to an unusable size under pressure. The code allows admins to tune for embedded and enterprise usage. FAQ * How is the root-cant-login problem addressed? What happens if admin_reserve_pages is set to 0? Root is free to shoot themselves in the foot by setting admin_reserve_kbytes too low. On x86_64, the minimum useful reserve is: 8MB for overcommit 'guess' 128MB for overcommit 'never' admin_reserve_pages defaults to min(3% free memory, 8MB) So, anyone switching to 'never' mode needs to adjust admin_reserve_pages. * How do you calculate a minimum useful reserve? A user or the admin needs enough memory to login and perform recovery operations, which includes, at a minimum: sshd or login + bash (or some other shell) + top (or ps, kill, etc.) For overcommit 'guess', we can sum resident set sizes (RSS) because we only need enough memory to handle what the recovery programs will typically use. On x86_64 this is about 8MB. For overcommit 'never', we can take the max of their virtual sizes (VSZ) and add the sum of their RSS. We use VSZ instead of RSS because mode forces us to ensure we can fulfill all of the requested memory allocations-- even if the programs only use a fraction of what they ask for. On x86_64 this is about 128MB. When swap is enabled, reserves are useful even when they are as small as 10MB, regardless of overcommit mode. When both swap and overcommit are disabled, then the admin should tune the reserves higher to be absolutley safe. Over 230MB each was safest in my testing. * What happens if user_reserve_pages is set to 0? Note, this only affects overcomitt 'never' mode. Then a user will be able to allocate all available memory minus admin_reserve_kbytes. However, they will easily see a message such as: "bash: fork: Cannot allocate memory" And they won't be able to recover/kill their application. The admin should be able to recover the system if admin_reserve_kbytes is set appropriately. * What's the difference between overcommit 'guess' and 'never'? "Guess" allows an allocation if there are enough free + reclaimable pages. It has a hardcoded 3% of free pages reserved for root. "Never" allows an allocation if there is enough swap + a configurable percentage (default is 50) of physical RAM. It has a hardcoded 3% of free pages reserved for root, like "Guess" mode. It also has a hardcoded 3% of the current process size reserved for additional applications. * Why is overcommit 'guess' not suitable even when an app eventually writes to every page? It takes free pages, file pages, available swap pages, reclaimable slab pages into consideration. In other words, these are all pages available, then why isn't overcommit suitable? Because it only looks at the present state of the system. It does not take into account the memory that other applications have malloced, but haven't initialized yet. It overcommits the system. Test Summary There was little change in behavior in the default overcommit 'guess' mode with swap enabled before and after the patch. This was expected. Systems run most predictably (i.e. no oom kills) in overcommit 'never' mode with swap enabled. This also allowed the most memory to be allocated to a user application. Overcommit 'guess' mode without swap is a bad idea. It is easy to crash the system. None of the other tested combinations crashed. This matches my experience on the Roadrunner supercomputer. Without the tunable user reserve, a system in overcommit 'never' mode and without swap does not allow the admin to recover, although the admin can. With the new tunable reserves, a system in overcommit 'never' mode and without swap can be configured to: 1. maximize user-allocatable memory, running close to the edge of recoverability 2. maximize recoverability, sacrificing allocatable memory to ensure that a user cannot take down a system Test Description Fedora 18 VM - 4 x86_64 cores, 5725MB RAM, 4GB Swap System is booted into multiuser console mode, with unnecessary services turned off.

mm: mmap: add new /proc tunable for mmap_base ASLR Address Space Layout Randomization (ASLR) provides a barrier to exploitation of user-space processes in the presence of security vulnerabilities by making it more difficult to find desired code/data which could help an attack. This is done by adding a random offset to the location of regions in the process address space, with a greater range of potential offset values corresponding to better protection/a larger search-space for brute force, but also to greater potential for fragmentation. The offset added to the mmap_base address, which provides the basis for the majority of the mappings for a process, is set once on process exec in arch_pick_mmap_layout() and is done via hard-coded per-arch values, which reflect, hopefully, the best compromise for all systems. The trade-off between increased entropy in the offset value generation and the corresponding increased variability in address space fragmentation is not absolute, however, and some platforms may tolerate higher amounts of entropy. This patch introduces both new Kconfig values and a sysctl interface which may be used to change the amount of entropy used for offset generation on a system. The direct motivation for this change was in response to the libstagefright vulnerabilities that affected Android, specifically to information provided by Google's project zero at: http://googleprojectzero.blogspot.com/2015/09/stagefrightened.html The attack presented therein, by Google's project zero, specifically targeted the limited randomness used to generate the offset added to the mmap_base address in order to craft a brute-force-based attack. Concretely, the attack was against the mediaserver process, which was limited to respawning every 5 seconds, on an arm device. The hard-coded 8 bits used resulted in an average expected success rate of defeating the mmap ASLR after just over 10 minutes (128 tries at 5 seconds a piece). With this patch, and an accompanying increase in the entropy value to 16 bits, the same attack would take an average expected time of over 45 hours (32768 tries), which makes it both less feasible and more likely to be noticed. The introduced Kconfig and sysctl options are limited by per-arch minimum and maximum values, the minimum of which was chosen to match the current hard-coded value and the maximum of which was chosen so as to give the greatest flexibility without generating an invalid mmap_base address, generally a 3-4 bits less than the number of bits in the user-space accessible virtual address space. When decided whether or not to change the default value, a system developer should consider that mmap_base address could be placed anywhere up to 2^(value) bits away from the non-randomized location, which would introduce variable-sized areas above and below the mmap_base address such that the maximum vm_area_struct size may be reduced, preventing very large allocations. This patch (of 4): ASLR only uses as few as 8 bits to generate the random offset for the mmap base address on 32 bit architectures. This value was chosen to prevent a poorly chosen value from dividing the address space in such a way as to prevent large allocations. This may not be an issue on all platforms. Allow the specification of a minimum number of bits so that platforms desiring greater ASLR protection may determine where to place the trade-off.

userfaultfd/sysctl: add vm.unprivileged_userfaultfd Userfaultfd can be misued to make it easier to exploit existing use-after-free (and similar) bugs that might otherwise only make a short window or race condition available. By using userfaultfd to stall a kernel thread, a malicious program can keep some state that it wrote, stable for an extended period, which it can then access using an existing exploit. While it doesn't cause the exploit itself, and while it's not the only thing that can stall a kernel thread when accessing a memory location, it's one of the few that never needs privilege. We can add a flag, allowing userfaultfd to be restricted, so that in general it won't be useable by arbitrary user programs, but in environments that require userfaultfd it can be turned back on. Add a global sysctl knob "vm.unprivileged_userfaultfd" to control whether userfaultfd is allowed by unprivileged users. When this is set to zero, only privileged users (root user, or users with the CAP_SYS_PTRACE capability) will be able to use the userfaultfd syscalls. Andrea said: : The only difference between the bpf sysctl and the userfaultfd sysctl : this way is that the bpf sysctl adds the CAP_SYS_ADMIN capability : requirement, while userfaultfd adds the CAP_SYS_PTRACE requirement, : because the userfaultfd monitor is more likely to need CAP_SYS_PTRACE : already if it's doing other kind of tracking on processes runtime, in : addition of userfaultfd. In other words both syscalls works only for : root, when the two sysctl are opt-in set to 1.

sysctl core: Stop using the unnecessary ctl_table typedef In sysctl.h the typedef struct ctl_table ctl_table violates coding style isn't needed and is a bit of a nuisance because it makes it harder to recognize ctl_table is a type name. So this patch removes it from the generic sysctl code. Hopefully I will have enough energy to send the rest of my patches will follow and to remove it from the rest of the kernel.

fs: bump inode and dentry counters to long This series reworks our current object cache shrinking infrastructure in two main ways: * Noticing that a lot of users copy and paste their own version of LRU lists for objects, we put some effort in providing a generic version. It is modeled after the filesystem users: dentries, inodes, and xfs (for various tasks), but we expect that other users could benefit in the near future with little or no modification. Let us know if you have any issues. * The underlying list_lru being proposed automatically and transparently keeps the elements in per-node lists, and is able to manipulate the node lists individually. Given this infrastructure, we are able to modify the up-to-now hammer called shrink_slab to proceed with node-reclaim instead of always searching memory from all over like it has been doing. Per-node lru lists are also expected to lead to less contention in the lru locks on multi-node scans, since we are now no longer fighting for a global lock. The locks usually disappear from the profilers with this change. Although we have no official benchmarks for this version - be our guest to independently evaluate this - earlier versions of this series were performance tested (details at http://permalink.gmane.org/gmane.linux.kernel.mm/100537) yielding no visible performance regressions while yielding a better qualitative behavior in NUMA machines. With this infrastructure in place, we can use the list_lru entry point to provide memcg isolation and per-memcg targeted reclaim. Historically, those two pieces of work have been posted together. This version presents only the infrastructure work, deferring the memcg work for a later time, so we can focus on getting this part tested.

This results in a KASAN splat when accessed as a long by proc_doulongvec_minmax on 64-bit architectures: | BUG: KASAN: global-out-of-bounds in __do_proc_doulongvec_minmax+0x5d8/0x6a0 | Read of size 8 at addr ffff2000133d1c20 by task systemd/1 | | CPU: 0 PID: 1 Comm: systemd Not tainted 5.1.0-rc3-00012-g40b114779944 #2 | Hardware name: linux,dummy-virt (DT) | Call trace: | dump_backtrace+0x0/0x228 | show_stack+0x14/0x20 | dump_stack+0xe8/0x124 | print_address_description+0x60/0x258 | kasan_report+0x140/0x1a0 | __asan_report_load8_noabort+0x18/0x20 | __do_proc_doulongvec_minmax+0x5d8/0x6a0 | proc_doulongvec_minmax+0x4c/0x78 | proc_sys_call_handler.isra.19+0x144/0x1d8 | proc_sys_write+0x34/0x58 | __vfs_write+0x54/0xe8 | vfs_write+0x124/0x3c0 | ksys_write+0xbc/0x168 | __arm64_sys_write+0x68/0x98 | el0_svc_common+0x100/0x258 | el0_svc_handler+0x48/0xc0 | el0_svc+0x8/0xc | | The buggy address belongs to the variable: | zero+0x0/0x40 | | Memory state around the buggy address: | ffff2000133d1b00: 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 fa fa fa fa 04 fa fa fa | ffff2000133d1b80: fa fa fa fa 04 fa fa fa fa fa fa fa 04 fa fa fa | >ffff2000133d1c00: fa fa fa fa 04 fa fa fa fa fa fa fa 00 00 00 00 | ^ | ffff2000133d1c80: fa fa fa fa 00 fa fa fa fa fa fa fa 00 00 00 00 | ffff2000133d1d00: 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 Fix the splat by introducing a unsigned long 'zero_ul' and using that instead.

sysctl: handle overflow for file-max Currently, when writing echo 18446744073709551616 > /proc/sys/fs/file-max /proc/sys/fs/file-max will overflow and be set to 0. That quickly crashes the system. This commit sets the max and min value for file-max. The max value is set to long int. Any higher value cannot currently be used as the percpu counters are long ints and not unsigned integers. Note that the file-max value is ultimately parsed via __do_proc_doulongvec_minmax(). This function does not report error when min or max are exceeded. Which means if a value largen that long int is written userspace will not receive an error instead the old value will be kept. There is an argument to be made that this should be changed and __do_proc_doulongvec_minmax() should return an error when a dedicated min or max value are exceeded. However this has the potential to break userspace so let's defer this to an RFC patch.

get rid of NR_OPEN and introduce a sysctl_nr_open NR_OPEN (historically set to 1024*1024) actually forbids processes to open more than 1024*1024 handles. Unfortunatly some production servers hit the not so 'ridiculously high value' of 1024*1024 file descriptors per process. Changing NR_OPEN is not considered safe because of vmalloc space potential exhaust. This patch introduces a new sysctl (/proc/sys/fs/nr_open) wich defaults to 1024*1024, so that admins can decide to change this limit if their workload needs it.

fs: bump inode and dentry counters to long This series reworks our current object cache shrinking infrastructure in two main ways: * Noticing that a lot of users copy and paste their own version of LRU lists for objects, we put some effort in providing a generic version. It is modeled after the filesystem users: dentries, inodes, and xfs (for various tasks), but we expect that other users could benefit in the near future with little or no modification. Let us know if you have any issues. * The underlying list_lru being proposed automatically and transparently keeps the elements in per-node lists, and is able to manipulate the node lists individually. Given this infrastructure, we are able to modify the up-to-now hammer called shrink_slab to proceed with node-reclaim instead of always searching memory from all over like it has been doing. Per-node lru lists are also expected to lead to less contention in the lru locks on multi-node scans, since we are now no longer fighting for a global lock. The locks usually disappear from the profilers with this change. Although we have no official benchmarks for this version - be our guest to independently evaluate this - earlier versions of this series were performance tested (details at http://permalink.gmane.org/gmane.linux.kernel.mm/100537) yielding no visible performance regressions while yielding a better qualitative behavior in NUMA machines. With this infrastructure in place, we can use the list_lru entry point to provide memcg isolation and per-memcg targeted reclaim. Historically, those two pieces of work have been posted together. This version presents only the infrastructure work, deferring the memcg work for a later time, so we can focus on getting this part tested. You can see more about the history of such work at http://lwn.net/Articles/552769/ Dave Chinner (18): dcache: convert dentry_stat.nr_unused to per-cpu counters dentry: move to per-sb LRU locks dcache: remove dentries from LRU before putting on dispose list mm: new shrinker API shrinker: convert superblock shrinkers to new API list: add a new LRU list type inode: convert inode lru list to generic lru list code. dcache: convert to use new lru list infrastructure list_lru: per-node list infrastructure shrinker: add node awareness fs: convert inode and dentry shrinking to be node aware xfs: convert buftarg LRU to generic code xfs: rework buffer dispose list tracking xfs: convert dquot cache lru to list_lru fs: convert fs shrinkers to new scan/count API drivers: convert shrinkers to new count/scan API shrinker: convert remaining shrinkers to count/scan API shrinker: Kill old ->shrink API. Glauber Costa (7): fs: bump inode and dentry counters to long super: fix calculation of shrinkable objects for small numbers list_lru: per-node API vmscan: per-node deferred work i915: bail out earlier when shrinker cannot acquire mutex hugepage: convert huge zero page shrinker to new shrinker API list_lru: dynamically adjust node arrays This patch: There are situations in very large machines in which we can have a large quantity of dirty inodes, unused dentries, etc. This is particularly true when umounting a filesystem, where eventually since every live object will eventually be discarded. Dave Chinner reported a problem with this while experimenting with the shrinker revamp patchset. So we believe it is time for a change. This patch just moves int to longs. Machines where it matters should have a big long anyway.

[PATCH] inotify (1/5): split kernel API from userspace support The following series of patches introduces a kernel API for inotify, making it possible for kernel modules to benefit from inotify's mechanism for watching inodes. With these patches, inotify will maintain for each caller a list of watches (via an embedded struct inotify_watch), where each inotify_watch is associated with a corresponding struct inode. The caller registers an event handler and specifies for which filesystem events their event handler should be called per inotify_watch.

epoll: introduce resource usage limits It has been thought that the per-user file descriptors limit would also limit the resources that a normal user can request via the epoll interface. Vegard Nossum reported a very simple program (a modified version attached) that can make a normal user to request a pretty large amount of kernel memory, well within the its maximum number of fds. To solve such problem, default limits are now imposed, and /proc based configuration has been introduced. A new directory has been created, named /proc/sys/fs/epoll/ and inside there, there are two configuration points: max_user_instances = Maximum number of devices - per user max_user_watches = Maximum number of "watched" fds - per user The current default for "max_user_watches" limits the memory used by epoll to store "watches", to 1/32 of the amount of the low RAM. As example, a 256MB 32bit machine, will have "max_user_watches" set to roughly 90000. That should be enough to not break existing heavy epoll users. The default value for "max_user_instances" is set to 128, that should be enough too. This also changes the userspace, because a new error code can now come out from EPOLL_CTL_ADD (-ENOSPC). The EMFILE from epoll_create() was already listed, so that should be ok.

fs: add link restrictions This adds symlink and hardlink restrictions to the Linux VFS. Symlinks: A long-standing class of security issues is the symlink-based time-of-check-time-of-use race, most commonly seen in world-writable directories like /tmp. The common method of exploitation of this flaw is to cross privilege boundaries when following a given symlink (i.e. a root process follows a symlink belonging to another user). For a likely incomplete list of hundreds of examples across the years, please see: http://cve.mitre.org/cgi-bin/cvekey.cgi?keyword=/tmp The solution is to permit symlinks to only be followed when outside a sticky world-writable directory, or when the uid of the symlink and follower match, or when the directory owner matches the symlink's owner. Some pointers to the history of earlier discussion that I could find: 1996 Aug, Zygo Blaxell http://marc.info/?l=bugtraq&m=87602167419830&w=2 1996 Oct, Andrew Tridgell http://lkml.indiana.edu/hypermail/linux/kernel/9610.2/0086.html 1997 Dec, Albert D Cahalan http://lkml.org/lkml/1997/12/16/4 2005 Feb, Lorenzo Hernández García-Hierro http://lkml.indiana.edu/hypermail/linux/kernel/0502.0/1896.html 2010 May, Kees Cook https://lkml.org/lkml/2010/5/30/144 Past objections and rebuttals could be summarized as: - Violates POSIX. - POSIX didn't consider this situation and it's not useful to follow a broken specification at the cost of security. - Might break unknown applications that use this feature. - Applications that break because of the change are easy to spot and fix. Applications that are vulnerable to symlink ToCToU by not having the change aren't. Additionally, no applications have yet been found that rely on this behavior. - Applications should just use mkstemp() or O_CREATE|O_EXCL. - True, but applications are not perfect, and new software is written all the time that makes these mistakes; blocking this flaw at the kernel is a single solution to the entire class of vulnerability. - This should live in the core VFS. - This should live in an LSM. (https://lkml.org/lkml/2010/5/31/135) - This should live in an LSM. - This should live in the core VFS. (https://lkml.org/lkml/2010/8/2/188) Hardlinks: On systems that have user-writable directories on the same partition as system files, a long-standing class of security issues is the hardlink-based time-of-check-time-of-use race, most commonly seen in world-writable directories like /tmp. The common method of exploitation of this flaw is to cross privilege boundaries when following a given hardlink (i.e. a root process follows a hardlink created by another user). Additionally, an issue exists where users can "pin" a potentially vulnerable setuid/setgid file so that an administrator will not actually upgrade a system fully. The solution is to permit hardlinks to only be created when the user is already the existing file's owner, or if they already have read/write access to the existing file. Many Linux users are surprised when they learn they can link to files they have no access to, so this change appears to follow the doctrine of "least surprise". Additionally, this change does not violate POSIX, which states "the implementation may require that the calling process has permission to access the existing file"[1]. This change is known to break some implementations of the "at" daemon, though the version used by Fedora and Ubuntu has been fixed[2] for a while. Otherwise, the change has been undisruptive while in use in Ubuntu for the last 1.5 years.

namei: allow restricted O_CREAT of FIFOs and regular files Disallows open of FIFOs or regular files not owned by the user in world writable sticky directories, unless the owner is the same as that of the directory or the file is opened without the O_CREAT flag. The purpose is to make data spoofing attacks harder. This protection can be turned on and off separately for FIFOs and regular files via sysctl, just like the symlinks/hardlinks protection. This patch is based on Openwall's "HARDEN_FIFO" feature by Solar Designer. This is a brief list of old vulnerabilities that could have been prevented by this feature, some of them even allow for privilege escalation: CVE-2000-1134 CVE-2007-3852 CVE-2008-0525 CVE-2009-0416 CVE-2011-4834 CVE-2015-1838 CVE-2015-7442 CVE-2016-7489 This list is not meant to be complete. It's difficult to track down all vulnerabilities of this kind because they were often reported without any mention of this particular attack vector. In fact, before hardlinks/symlinks restrictions, fifos/regular files weren't the favorite vehicle to exploit them.

[PATCH] setuid core dump Add a new `suid_dumpable' sysctl: This value can be used to query and set the core dump mode for setuid or otherwise protected/tainted binaries. The modes are 0 - (default) - traditional behaviour. Any process which has changed privilege levels or is execute only will not be dumped 1 - (debug) - all processes dump core when possible. The core dump is owned by the current user and no security is applied. This is intended for system debugging situations only. Ptrace is unchecked. 2 - (suidsafe) - any binary which normally would not be dumped is dumped readable by root only. This allows the end user to remove such a dump but not access it directly. For security reasons core dumps in this mode will not overwrite one another or other files. This mode is appropriate when adminstrators are attempting to debug problems in a normal environment.

pipe: change /proc/sys/fs/pipe-max-pages to byte sized interface This changes the interface to be based on bytes instead. The API matches that of F_SETPIPE_SZ in that it rounds up the passed in size so that the resulting page array is a power-of-2 in size. The proc file is renamed to /proc/sys/fs/pipe-max-size to reflect this change. Signed-off-by: Jens Axboe <jaxboe@fusionio.com>

pipe: match pipe_max_size data type with procfs Patch series "A few round_pipe_size() and pipe-max-size fixups", v3. While backporting Michael's "pipe: fix limit handling" patchset to a distro-kernel, Mikulas noticed that current upstream pipe limit handling contains a few problems: 1 - procfs signed wrap: echo'ing a large number into /proc/sys/fs/pipe-max-size and then cat'ing it back out shows a negative value. 2 - round_pipe_size() nr_pages overflow on 32bit: this would subsequently try roundup_pow_of_two(0), which is undefined. 3 - visible non-rounded pipe-max-size value: there is no mutual exclusion or protection between the time pipe_max_size is assigned a raw value from proc_dointvec_minmax() and when it is rounded. 4 - unsigned long -> unsigned int conversion makes for potential odd return errors from do_proc_douintvec_minmax_conv() and do_proc_dopipe_max_size_conv(). This version underwent the same testing as v1: https://marc.info/?l=linux-kernel&m=150643571406022&w=2 This patch (of 4): pipe_max_size is defined as an unsigned int: unsigned int pipe_max_size = 1048576; but its procfs/sysctl representation is an integer: static struct ctl_table fs_table[] = { ... { .procname = "pipe-max-size", .data = &pipe_max_size, .maxlen = sizeof(int), .mode = 0644, .proc_handler = &pipe_proc_fn, .extra1 = &pipe_min_size, }, ... that is signed: int pipe_proc_fn(struct ctl_table *table, int write, void __user *buf, size_t *lenp, loff_t *ppos) { ... ret = proc_dointvec_minmax(table, write, buf, lenp, ppos) This leads to signed results via procfs for large values of pipe_max_size: % echo 2147483647 >/proc/sys/fs/pipe-max-size % cat /proc/sys/fs/pipe-max-size -2147483648 Use unsigned operations on this variable to avoid such negative values.

pipe, sysctl: remove pipe_proc_fn() pipe_proc_fn() is no longer needed, as it only calls through to proc_dopipe_max_size(). Just put proc_dopipe_max_size() in the ctl_table entry directly, and remove the unneeded EXPORT_SYMBOL() and the ENOSYS stub for it. (The reason the ENOSYS stub isn't needed is that the pipe-max-size ctl_table entry is located directly in 'kern_table' rather than being registered separately. Therefore, the entry is already only defined when the kernel is built with sysctl support.)

pipe: limit the per-user amount of pages allocated in pipes On no-so-small systems, it is possible for a single process to cause an OOM condition by filling large pipes with data that are never read. A typical process filling 4000 pipes with 1 MB of data will use 4 GB of memory. On small systems it may be tricky to set the pipe max size to prevent this from happening. This patch makes it possible to enforce a per-user soft limit above which new pipes will be limited to a single page, effectively limiting them to 4 kB each, as well as a hard limit above which no new pipes may be created for this user. This has the effect of protecting the system against memory abuse without hurting other users, and still allowing pipes to work correctly though with less data at once. The limit are controlled by two new sysctls : pipe-user-pages-soft, and pipe-user-pages-hard. Both may be disabled by setting them to zero. The default soft limit allows the default number of FDs per process (1024) to create pipes of the default size (64kB), thus reaching a limit of 64MB before starting to create only smaller pipes. With 256 processes limited to 1024 FDs each, this results in 1024*64kB + (256*1024 - 1024) * 4kB = 1084 MB of memory allocated for a user. The hard limit is disabled by default to avoid breaking existing applications that make intensive use of pipes (eg: for splicing).

mnt: Add a per mount namespace limit on the number of mounts CAI Qian <caiqian@redhat.com> pointed out that the semantics of shared subtrees make it possible to create an exponentially increasing number of mounts in a mount namespace. mkdir /tmp/1 /tmp/2 mount --make-rshared / for i in $(seq 1 20) ; do mount --bind /tmp/1 /tmp/2 ; done Will create create 2^20 or 1048576 mounts, which is a practical problem as some people have managed to hit this by accident. As such CVE-2016-6213 was assigned. Ian Kent <raven@themaw.net> described the situation for autofs users as follows: > The number of mounts for direct mount maps is usually not very large because of > the way they are implemented, large direct mount maps can have performance > problems. There can be anywhere from a few (likely case a few hundred) to less > than 10000, plus mounts that have been triggered and not yet expired. > > Indirect mounts have one autofs mount at the root plus the number of mounts that > have been triggered and not yet expired. > > The number of autofs indirect map entries can range from a few to the common > case of several thousand and in rare cases up to between 30000 and 50000. I've > not heard of people with maps larger than 50000 entries. > > The larger the number of map entries the greater the possibility for a large > number of active mounts so it's not hard to expect cases of a 1000 or somewhat > more active mounts. So I am setting the default number of mounts allowed per mount namespace at 100,000. This is more than enough for any use case I know of, but small enough to quickly stop an exponential increase in mounts. Which should be perfect to catch misconfigurations and malfunctioning programs. For anyone who needs a higher limit this can be changed by writing to the new /proc/sys/fs/mount-max sysctl.

[PATCH] inotify inotify is intended to correct the deficiencies of dnotify, particularly its inability to scale and its terrible user interface: * dnotify requires the opening of one fd per each directory that you intend to watch. This quickly results in too many open files and pins removable media, preventing unmount. * dnotify is directory-based. You only learn about changes to directories. Sure, a change to a file in a directory affects the directory, but you are then forced to keep a cache of stat structures. * dnotify's interface to user-space is awful. Signals? inotify provides a more usable, simple, powerful solution to file change notification: * inotify's interface is a system call that returns a fd, not SIGIO. You get a single fd, which is select()-able. * inotify has an event that says "the filesystem that the item you were watching is on was unmounted." * inotify can watch directories or files. Inotify is currently used by Beagle (a desktop search infrastructure), Gamin (a FAM replacement), and other projects. See Documentation/filesystems/inotify.txt.

sysctl: suppress kmemleak messages register_sysctl_table() is a strange function, as it makes internal allocations (a header) to register a sysctl_table. This header is a handle to the table that is created, and can be used to unregister the table. But if the table is permanent and never unregistered, the header acts the same as a static variable. Unfortunately, this allocation of memory that is never expected to be freed fools kmemleak in thinking that we have leaked memory. For those sysctl tables that are never unregistered, and have no pointer referencing them, kmemleak will think that these are memory leaks: unreferenced object 0xffff880079fb9d40 (size 192): comm "swapper/0", pid 0, jiffies 4294667316 (age 12614.152s) hex dump (first 32 bytes): 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 ................ 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 ................ backtrace: [<ffffffff8146b590>] kmemleak_alloc+0x73/0x98 [<ffffffff8110a935>] kmemleak_alloc_recursive.constprop.42+0x16/0x18 [<ffffffff8110b852>] __kmalloc+0x107/0x153 [<ffffffff8116fa72>] kzalloc.constprop.8+0xe/0x10 [<ffffffff811703c9>] __register_sysctl_paths+0xe1/0x160 [<ffffffff81170463>] register_sysctl_paths+0x1b/0x1d [<ffffffff8117047d>] register_sysctl_table+0x18/0x1a [<ffffffff81afb0a1>] sysctl_init+0x10/0x14 [<ffffffff81b05a6f>] proc_sys_init+0x2f/0x31 [<ffffffff81b0584c>] proc_root_init+0xa5/0xa7 [<ffffffff81ae5b7e>] start_kernel+0x3d0/0x40a [<ffffffff81ae52a7>] x86_64_start_reservations+0xae/0xb2 [<ffffffff81ae53ad>] x86_64_start_kernel+0x102/0x111 [<ffffffffffffffff>] 0xffffffffffffffff The sysctl_base_table used by sysctl itself is one such instance that registers the table to never be unregistered.

sysctl: clean up char buffer arguments When writing to a sysctl string, each write, regardless of VFS position, began writing the string from the start. This meant the contents of the last write to the sysctl controlled the string contents instead of the first. This misbehavior was featured in an exploit against Chrome OS. While it's not in itself a vulnerability, it's a weirdness that isn't on the mind of most auditors: "This filter looks correct, the first line written would not be meaningful to sysctl" doesn't apply here, since the size of the write and the contents of the final write are what matter when writing to sysctls. This adds the sysctl kernel.sysctl_writes_strict to control the write behavior. The default (0) reports when VFS position is non-0 on a write, but retains legacy behavior, -1 disables the warning, and 1 enables the position-respecting behavior. The long-term plan here is to wait for userspace to be fixed in response to the new warning and to then switch the default kernel behavior to the new position-respecting behavior. This patch (of 4): The char buffer arguments are needlessly cast in weird places. Clean it up so things are easier to read.

sysctl: allow for strict write position handling When writing to a sysctl string, each write, regardless of VFS position, begins writing the string from the start. This means the contents of the last write to the sysctl controls the string contents instead of the first: open("/proc/sys/kernel/modprobe", O_WRONLY) = 1 write(1, "AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA"..., 4096) = 4096 write(1, "/bin/true", 9) = 9 close(1) = 0 $ cat /proc/sys/kernel/modprobe /bin/true Expected behaviour would be to have the sysctl be "AAAA..." capped at maxlen (in this case KMOD_PATH_LEN: 256), instead of truncating to the contents of the second write. Similarly, multiple short writes would not append to the sysctl. The old behavior is unlike regular POSIX files enough that doing audits of software that interact with sysctls can end up in unexpected or dangerous situations. For example, "as long as the input starts with a trusted path" turns out to be an insufficient filter, as what must also happen is for the input to be entirely contained in a single write syscall -- not a common consideration, especially for high level tools. This provides kernel.sysctl_writes_strict as a way to make this behavior act in a less surprising manner for strings, and disallows non-zero file position when writing numeric sysctls (similar to what is already done when reading from non-zero file positions). For now, the default (0) is to warn about non-zero file position use, but retain the legacy behavior. Setting this to -1 disables the warning, and setting this to 1 enables the file position respecting behavior.

sysctl: allow for strict write position handling When writing to a sysctl string, each write, regardless of VFS position, begins writing the string from the start. This means the contents of the last write to the sysctl controls the string contents instead of the first: open("/proc/sys/kernel/modprobe", O_WRONLY) = 1 write(1, "AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA"..., 4096) = 4096 write(1, "/bin/true", 9) = 9 close(1) = 0 $ cat /proc/sys/kernel/modprobe /bin/true Expected behaviour would be to have the sysctl be "AAAA..." capped at maxlen (in this case KMOD_PATH_LEN: 256), instead of truncating to the contents of the second write. Similarly, multiple short writes would not append to the sysctl. The old behavior is unlike regular POSIX files enough that doing audits of software that interact with sysctls can end up in unexpected or dangerous situations. For example, "as long as the input starts with a trusted path" turns out to be an insufficient filter, as what must also happen is for the input to be entirely contained in a single write syscall -- not a common consideration, especially for high level tools. This provides kernel.sysctl_writes_strict as a way to make this behavior act in a less surprising manner for strings, and disallows non-zero file position when writing numeric sysctls (similar to what is already done when reading from non-zero file positions). For now, the default (0) is to warn about non-zero file position use, but retain the legacy behavior. Setting this to -1 disables the warning, and setting this to 1 enables the file position respecting behavior.

sysctl: clean up char buffer arguments When writing to a sysctl string, each write, regardless of VFS position, began writing the string from the start. This meant the contents of the last write to the sysctl controlled the string contents instead of the first. This misbehavior was featured in an exploit against Chrome OS. While it's not in itself a vulnerability, it's a weirdness that isn't on the mind of most auditors: "This filter looks correct, the first line written would not be meaningful to sysctl" doesn't apply here, since the size of the write and the contents of the final write are what matter when writing to sysctls. This adds the sysctl kernel.sysctl_writes_strict to control the write behavior. The default (0) reports when VFS position is non-0 on a write, but retains legacy behavior, -1 disables the warning, and 1 enables the position-respecting behavior. The long-term plan here is to wait for userspace to be fixed in response to the new warning and to then switch the default kernel behavior to the new position-respecting behavior. This patch (of 4): The char buffer arguments are needlessly cast in weird places. Clean it up so things are easier to read.

As we are about to add another integer handling proc function a little bit of cleanup is in order: add a few helper functions to improve code readability and decrease code duplication. In the process a bug is also fixed: if the user specifies a number with more then 20 digits it will be interpreted as two integers (e.g. 10000...13 will be interpreted as 100.... and 13). Behavior for EFAULT handling was changed as well. Previous to this patch, when an EFAULT error occurred in the middle of a write operation, although some of the elements were set, that was not acknowledged to the user (by shorting the write and returning the number of bytes accepted).

sysctl: handle overflow in proc_get_long proc_get_long() is a funny function. It uses simple_strtoul() and for a good reason. proc_get_long() wants to always succeed the parse and return the maybe incorrect value and the trailing characters to check against a pre-defined list of acceptable trailing values. However, simple_strtoul() explicitly ignores overflows which can cause funny things like the following to happen: echo 18446744073709551616 > /proc/sys/fs/file-max cat /proc/sys/fs/file-max 0 (Which will cause your system to silently die behind your back.) On the other hand kstrtoul() does do overflow detection but does not return the trailing characters, and also fails the parse when anything other than '\n' is a trailing character whereas proc_get_long() wants to be more lenient. Now, before adding another kstrtoul() function let's simply add a static parse strtoul_lenient() which: - fails on overflow with -ERANGE - returns the trailing characters to the caller The reason why we should fail on ERANGE is that we already do a partial fail on overflow right now. Namely, when the TMPBUFLEN is exceeded. So we already reject values such as 184467440737095516160 (21 chars) but accept values such as 18446744073709551616 (20 chars) but both are overflows. So we should just always reject 64bit overflows and not special-case this based on the number of chars.

kernel/sysctl.c: detect overflows when converting to int When converting unsigned long to int overflows may occur. These currently are not detected when writing to the sysctl file system. E.g. on a system where int has 32 bits and long has 64 bits echo 0x800001234 > /proc/sys/kernel/threads-max has the same effect as echo 0x1234 > /proc/sys/kernel/threads-max The patch adds the missing check in do_proc_dointvec_conv.

sysctl: simplify unsigned int support Commit e7d316a02f68 ("sysctl: handle error writing UINT_MAX to u32 fields") added proc_douintvec() to start help adding support for unsigned int, this however was only half the work needed. Two fixes have come in since then for the following issues: o Printing the values shows a negative value, this happens since do_proc_dointvec() and this uses proc_put_long() This was fixed by commit 5380e5644afbba9 ("sysctl: don't print negative flag for proc_douintvec"). o We can easily wrap around the int values: UINT_MAX is 4294967295, if we echo in 4294967295 + 1 we end up with 0, using 4294967295 + 2 we end up with 1. o We echo negative values in and they are accepted This was fixed by commit 425fffd886ba ("sysctl: report EINVAL if value is larger than UINT_MAX for proc_douintvec"). It still also failed to be added to sysctl_check_table()... instead of adding it with the current implementation just provide a proper and simplified unsigned int support without any array unsigned int support with no negative support at all. Historically sysctl proc helpers have supported arrays, due to the complexity this adds though we've taken a step back to evaluate array users to determine if its worth upkeeping for unsigned int. An evaluation using Coccinelle has been done to perform a grammatical search to ask ourselves: o How many sysctl proc_dointvec() (int) users exist which likely should be moved over to proc_douintvec() (unsigned int) ? Answer: about 8 - Of these how many are array users ? Answer: Probably only 1 o How many sysctl array users exist ? Answer: about 12 This last question gives us an idea just how popular arrays: they are not. Array support should probably just be kept for strings. The identified uint ports are: drivers/infiniband/core/ucma.c - max_backlog drivers/infiniband/core/iwcm.c - default_backlog net/core/sysctl_net_core.c - rps_sock_flow_sysctl() net/netfilter/nf_conntrack_timestamp.c - nf_conntrack_timestamp -- bool net/netfilter/nf_conntrack_acct.c nf_conntrack_acct -- bool net/netfilter/nf_conntrack_ecache.c - nf_conntrack_events -- bool net/netfilter/nf_conntrack_helper.c - nf_conntrack_helper -- bool net/phonet/sysctl.c proc_local_port_range() The only possible array users is proc_local_port_range() but it does not seem worth it to add array support just for this given the range support works just as well. Unsigned int support should be desirable more for when you *need* more than INT_MAX or using int min/max support then does not suffice for your ranges. If you forget and by mistake happen to register an unsigned int proc entry with an array, the driver will fail and you will get something as follows: sysctl table check failed: debug/test_sysctl//uint_0002 array now allowed CPU: 2 PID: 1342 Comm: modprobe Tainted: G W E <etc> Hardware name: QEMU Standard PC (i440FX + PIIX, 1996), BIOS <etc> Call Trace: dump_stack+0x63/0x81 __register_sysctl_table+0x350/0x650 ? kmem_cache_alloc_trace+0x107/0x240 __register_sysctl_paths+0x1b3/0x1e0 ? 0xffffffffc005f000 register_sysctl_table+0x1f/0x30 test_sysctl_init+0x10/0x1000 [test_sysctl] do_one_initcall+0x52/0x1a0 ? kmem_cache_alloc_trace+0x107/0x240 do_init_module+0x5f/0x200 load_module+0x1867/0x1bd0 ? __symbol_put+0x60/0x60 SYSC_finit_module+0xdf/0x110 SyS_finit_module+0xe/0x10 entry_SYSCALL_64_fastpath+0x1e/0xad RIP: 0033:0x7f042b22d119 <etc> Fixes: e7d316a02f68 ("sysctl: handle error writing UINT_MAX to u32 fields") Link: http://lkml.kernel.org/r/20170519033554.18592-5-mcgrof@kernel.org Signed-off-by: Luis R.

sysctl: refactor integer handling proc code (Based on Octavian's work, and I modified a lot.) As we are about to add another integer handling proc function a little bit of cleanup is in order: add a few helper functions to improve code readability and decrease code duplication.

sysctl: allow for strict write position handling When writing to a sysctl string, each write, regardless of VFS position, begins writing the string from the start. This means the contents of the last write to the sysctl controls the string contents instead of the first: open("/proc/sys/kernel/modprobe", O_WRONLY) = 1 write(1, "AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA"..., 4096) = 4096 write(1, "/bin/true", 9) = 9 close(1) = 0 $ cat /proc/sys/kernel/modprobe /bin/true Expected behaviour would be to have the sysctl be "AAAA..." capped at maxlen (in this case KMOD_PATH_LEN: 256), instead of truncating to the contents of the second write. Similarly, multiple short writes would not append to the sysctl. The old behavior is unlike regular POSIX files enough that doing audits of software that interact with sysctls can end up in unexpected or dangerous situations. For example, "as long as the input starts with a trusted path" turns out to be an insufficient filter, as what must also happen is for the input to be entirely contained in a single write syscall -- not a common consideration, especially for high level tools. This provides kernel.sysctl_writes_strict as a way to make this behavior act in a less surprising manner for strings, and disallows non-zero file position when writing numeric sysctls (similar to what is already done when reading from non-zero file positions). For now, the default (0) is to warn about non-zero file position use, but retain the legacy behavior. Setting this to -1 disables the warning, and setting this to 1 enables the file position respecting behavior.

sysctl: simplify unsigned int support Commit e7d316a02f68 ("sysctl: handle error writing UINT_MAX to u32 fields") added proc_douintvec() to start help adding support for unsigned int, this however was only half the work needed. Two fixes have come in since then for the following issues: o Printing the values shows a negative value, this happens since do_proc_dointvec() and this uses proc_put_long() This was fixed by commit 5380e5644afbba9 ("sysctl: don't print negative flag for proc_douintvec"). o We can easily wrap around the int values: UINT_MAX is 4294967295, if we echo in 4294967295 + 1 we end up with 0, using 4294967295 + 2 we end up with 1. o We echo negative values in and they are accepted This was fixed by commit 425fffd886ba ("sysctl: report EINVAL if value is larger than UINT_MAX for proc_douintvec"). It still also failed to be added to sysctl_check_table()... instead of adding it with the current implementation just provide a proper and simplified unsigned int support without any array unsigned int support with no negative support at all. Historically sysctl proc helpers have supported arrays, due to the complexity this adds though we've taken a step back to evaluate array users to determine if its worth upkeeping for unsigned int. An evaluation using Coccinelle has been done to perform a grammatical search to ask ourselves: o How many sysctl proc_dointvec() (int) users exist which likely should be moved over to proc_douintvec() (unsigned int) ? Answer: about 8 - Of these how many are array users ? Answer: Probably only 1 o How many sysctl array users exist ?

sysctl: handle error writing UINT_MAX to u32 fields We have scripts which write to certain fields on 3.18 kernels but this seems to be failing on 4.4 kernels. An entry which we write to here is xfrm_aevent_rseqth which is u32. echo 4294967295 > /proc/sys/net/core/xfrm_aevent_rseqth Commit 230633d109e3 ("kernel/sysctl.c: detect overflows when converting to int") prevented writing to sysctl entries when integer overflow occurs. However, this does not apply to unsigned integers. Heinrich suggested that we introduce a new option to handle 64 bit limits and set min as 0 and max as UINT_MAX. This might not work as it leads to issues similar to __do_proc_doulongvec_minmax. Alternatively, we would need to change the datatype of the entry to 64 bit. static int __do_proc_doulongvec_minmax(void *data, struct ctl_table { i = (unsigned long *) data; //This cast is causing to read beyond the size of data (u32) vleft = table->maxlen / sizeof(unsigned long); //vleft is 0 because maxlen is sizeof(u32) which is lesser than sizeof(unsigned long) on x86_64. Introduce a new proc handler proc_douintvec. Individual proc entries will need to be updated to use the new handler.

[PATCH] Add TAINT_USER and ability to set taint flags from userspace Allow taint flags to be set from userspace by writing to /proc/sys/kernel/tainted, and add a new taint flag, TAINT_USER, to be used when userspace has potentially done something dangerous that might compromise the kernel. This will allow support personnel to ask further questions about what may have caused the user taint flag to have been set. For example, they might examine the logs of the realtime JVM to see if the Java program has used the really silly, stupid, dangerous, and completely-non-portable direct access to physical memory feature which MUST be implemented according to the Real-Time Specification for Java (RTSJ). Sigh. What were those silly people at Sun thinking?

/*
Make the taint flags reliable It's somewhat unlikely that it happens, but right now a race window between interrupts or machine checks or oopses could corrupt the tainted bitmap because it is modified in a non atomic fashion. Convert the taint variable to an unsigned long and use only atomic bit operations on it. Unfortunately this means the intvec sysctl functions cannot be used on it anymore. It turned out the taint sysctl handler could actually be simplified a bit (since it only increases capabilities) so this patch actually removes code.

[PATCH] Add TAINT_USER and ability to set taint flags from userspace Allow taint flags to be set from userspace by writing to /proc/sys/kernel/tainted, and add a new taint flag, TAINT_USER, to be used when userspace has potentially done something dangerous that might compromise the kernel. This will allow support personnel to ask further questions about what may have caused the user taint flag to have been set. For example, they might examine the logs of the realtime JVM to see if the Java program has used the really silly, stupid, dangerous, and completely-non-portable direct access to physical memory feature which MUST be implemented according to the Real-Time Specification for Java (RTSJ).

sysctl: fix write access to dmesg_restrict/kptr_restrict Commit bfdc0b4 adds code to restrict access to dmesg_restrict, however, it incorrectly alters kptr_restrict rather than dmesg_restrict. The original patch from Richard Weinberger (https://lkml.org/lkml/2011/3/14/362) alters dmesg_restrict as expected, and so the patch seems to have been misapplied. This adds the CAP_SYS_ADMIN check to both dmesg_restrict and kptr_restrict, since both are sensitive.

sysctl: refactor integer handling proc code (Based on Octavian's work, and I modified a lot.) As we are about to add another integer handling proc function a little bit of cleanup is in order: add a few helper functions to improve code readability and decrease code duplication. In the process a bug is also fixed: if the user specifies a number with more then 20 digits it will be interpreted as two integers (e.g. 10000...13 will be interpreted as 100.... and 13). Behavior for EFAULT handling was changed as well. Previous to this patch, when an EFAULT error occurred in the middle of a write operation, although some of the elements were set, that was not acknowledged to the user (by shorting the write and returning the number of bytes accepted). EFAULT is now treated just like any other errors by acknowledging the amount of bytes accepted.

This leaves a window of time between initial assignment and rounding that may be visible to other threads. (For example, one thread sets a non-rounded value to pipe_max_size while another reads its value.)

pipe, sysctl: remove pipe_proc_fn() pipe_proc_fn() is no longer needed, as it only calls through to proc_dopipe_max_size(). Just put proc_dopipe_max_size() in the ctl_table entry directly, and remove the unneeded EXPORT_SYMBOL() and the ENOSYS stub for it. (The reason the ENOSYS stub isn't needed is that the pipe-max-size ctl_table entry is located directly in 'kern_table' rather than being registered separately. Therefore, the entry is already only defined when the kernel is built with sysctl support.)

pipe, sysctl: drop 'min' parameter from pipe-max-size converter Patch series "pipe: buffer limits fixes and cleanups", v2. This series simplifies the sysctl handler for pipe-max-size and fixes another set of bugs related to the pipe buffer limits: - The root user wasn't allowed to exceed the limits when creating new pipes. - There was an off-by-one error when checking the limits, so a limit of N was actually treated as N - 1. - F_SETPIPE_SZ accepted values over UINT_MAX. - Reading the pipe buffer limits could be racy. This patch (of 7): Before validating the given value against pipe_min_size, do_proc_dopipe_max_size_conv() calls round_pipe_size(), which rounds the value up to pipe_min_size. Therefore, the second check against pipe_min_size is redundant. Remove it.

In the process a bug is also fixed: if the user specifies a number with more then 20 digits it will be interpreted as two integers (e.g. 10000...13 will be interpreted as 100.... and 13). Behavior for EFAULT handling was changed as well. Previous to this patch, when an EFAULT error occurred in the middle of a write operation, although some of the elements were set, that was not acknowledged to the user (by shorting the write and returning the number of bytes accepted). EFAULT is now treated just like any other errors by acknowledging the amount of bytes accepted.

sysctl: allow for strict write position handling When writing to a sysctl string, each write, regardless of VFS position, begins writing the string from the start. This means the contents of the last write to the sysctl controls the string contents instead of the first: open("/proc/sys/kernel/modprobe", O_WRONLY) = 1 write(1, "AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA"..., 4096) = 4096 write(1, "/bin/true", 9) = 9 close(1) = 0 $ cat /proc/sys/kernel/modprobe /bin/true Expected behaviour would be to have the sysctl be "AAAA..." capped at maxlen (in this case KMOD_PATH_LEN: 256), instead of truncating to the contents of the second write. Similarly, multiple short writes would not append to the sysctl. The old behavior is unlike regular POSIX files enough that doing audits of software that interact with sysctls can end up in unexpected or dangerous situations. For example, "as long as the input starts with a trusted path" turns out to be an insufficient filter, as what must also happen is for the input to be entirely contained in a single write syscall -- not a common consideration, especially for high level tools. This provides kernel.sysctl_writes_strict as a way to make this behavior act in a less surprising manner for strings, and disallows non-zero file position when writing numeric sysctls (similar to what is already done when reading from non-zero file positions). For now, the default (0) is to warn about non-zero file position use, but retain the legacy behavior. Setting this to -1 disables the warning, and setting this to 1 enables the file position respecting behavior.

Noticed while doing some changes in network stack for the "16TB problem" Fix is to not change min & max pointers in __do_proc_doulongvec_minmax(), so that all elements of the vector share an unique min/max limit, like proc_dointvec_minmax().

proc/sysctl: fix return error for proc_doulongvec_minmax() If the number of input parameters is less than the total parameters, an EINVAL error will be returned.

But passing only one parameter, an error "Invalid argument"(EINVAL) is returned.

This patch deals with __do_proc_doulongvec_minmax, just as __do_proc_dointvec does, adding a check for parameters 'left'. In __do_proc_douintvec, its code implementation explicitly does not support multiple inputs. static int __do_proc_douintvec(...){ ... /* * Arrays are not supported, keep this simple. *Do not* add * support for them. */ if (vleft != 1) { *lenp = 0; return -EINVAL; } ... } So, just __do_proc_doulongvec_minmax has the problem. And most use of proc_doulongvec_minmax/proc_doulongvec_ms_jiffies_minmax just have one parameter.

sysctl: allow for strict write position handling When writing to a sysctl string, each write, regardless of VFS position, begins writing the string from the start. This means the contents of the last write to the sysctl controls the string contents instead of the first: open("/proc/sys/kernel/modprobe", O_WRONLY) = 1 write(1, "AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA"..., 4096) = 4096 write(1, "/bin/true", 9) = 9 close(1) = 0 $ cat /proc/sys/kernel/modprobe /bin/true Expected behaviour would be to have the sysctl be "AAAA..." capped at maxlen (in this case KMOD_PATH_LEN: 256), instead of truncating to the contents of the second write. Similarly, multiple short writes would not append to the sysctl. The old behavior is unlike regular POSIX files enough that doing audits of software that interact with sysctls can end up in unexpected or dangerous situations. For example, "as long as the input starts with a trusted path" turns out to be an insufficient filter, as what must also happen is for the input to be entirely contained in a single write syscall -- not a common consideration, especially for high level tools. This provides kernel.sysctl_writes_strict as a way to make this behavior act in a less surprising manner for strings, and disallows non-zero file position when writing numeric sysctls (similar to what is already done when reading from non-zero file positions). For now, the default (0) is to warn about non-zero file position use, but retain the legacy behavior. Setting this to -1 disables the warning, and setting this to 1 enables the file position respecting behavior.

As we are about to add another integer handling proc function a little bit of cleanup is in order: add a few helper functions to improve code readability and decrease code duplication. In the process a bug is also fixed: if the user specifies a number with more then 20 digits it will be interpreted as two integers (e.g. 10000...13 will be interpreted as 100.... and 13). Behavior for EFAULT handling was changed as well. Previous to this patch, when an EFAULT error occurred in the middle of a write operation, although some of the elements were set, that was not acknowledged to the user (by shorting the write and returning the number of bytes accepted). EFAULT is now treated just like any other errors by acknowledging the amount of bytes accepted.

[PATCH] Range checking in do_proc_dointvec_(userhz_)jiffies_conv When (integer) sysctl values are in either seconds or centiseconds, but represented internally as jiffies, the allowable value range is decreased. This patch adds range checks to the conversion routines. For values in seconds: maximum LONG_MAX / HZ. For values in centiseconds: maximum (LONG_MAX / HZ) * USER_HZ. (BTW, does anyone else feel that an interface in seconds should not be accepting negative values?)

We can create a separate "historical" git archive of that later if we want to, and in the meantime it's about 3.2GB when imported into git - space that would just make the early git days unnecessarily complicated, when we don't have a lot of good infrastructure for it. Let it rip!

[PATCH] replace cad_pid by a struct pid There are a few places in the kernel where the init task is signaled. The ctrl+alt+del sequence is one them. It kills a task, usually init, using a cached pid (cad_pid). This patch replaces the pid_t by a struct pid to avoid pid wrap around problem. The struct pid is initialized at boot time in init() and can be modified through systctl with /proc/sys/kernel/cad_pid [ I haven't found any distro using it ? ] It also introduces a small helper routine kill_cad_pid() which is used where it seemed ok to use cad_pid instead of pid 1.

Pidns: make full use of xxx_vnr() calls Some time ago the xxx_vnr() calls (e.g. pid_vnr or find_task_by_vpid) were _all_ converted to operate on the current pid namespace. After this each call like xxx_nr_ns(foo, current->nsproxy->pid_ns) is nothing but a xxx_vnr(foo) one. Switch all the xxx_nr_ns() callers to use the xxx_vnr() calls where appropriate.

kernel/sysctl.c: fix proc_do_large_bitmap for large input buffers Today, proc_do_large_bitmap() truncates a large write input buffer to PAGE_SIZE - 1, which may result in misparsed numbers at the (truncated) end of the buffer. Further, it fails to notify the caller that the buffer was truncated, so it doesn't get called iteratively to finish the entire input buffer. Tell the caller if there's more work to do by adding the skipped amount back to left/*lenp before returning. To fix the misparsing, reset the position if we have completely consumed a truncated buffer (or if just one char is left, which may be a "-" in a range), and ask the caller to come back for more.

sysctl: handle error writing UINT_MAX to u32 fields We have scripts which write to certain fields on 3.18 kernels but this seems to be failing on 4.4 kernels. An entry which we write to here is xfrm_aevent_rseqth which is u32. echo 4294967295 > /proc/sys/net/core/xfrm_aevent_rseqth Commit 230633d109e3 ("kernel/sysctl.c: detect overflows when converting to int") prevented writing to sysctl entries when integer overflow occurs. However, this does not apply to unsigned integers. Heinrich suggested that we introduce a new option to handle 64 bit limits and set min as 0 and max as UINT_MAX. This might not work as it leads to issues similar to __do_proc_doulongvec_minmax. Alternatively, we would need to change the datatype of the entry to 64 bit. static int __do_proc_doulongvec_minmax(void *data, struct ctl_table { i = (unsigned long *) data; //This cast is causing to read beyond the size of data (u32) vleft = table->maxlen / sizeof(unsigned long); //vleft is 0 because maxlen is sizeof(u32) which is lesser than sizeof(unsigned long) on x86_64. Introduce a new proc handler proc_douintvec. Individual proc entries will need to be updated to use the new handler.

sysctl core: Stop using the unnecessary ctl_table typedef In sysctl.h the typedef struct ctl_table ctl_table violates coding style isn't needed and is a bit of a nuisance because it makes it harder to recognize ctl_table is a type name. So this patch removes it from the generic sysctl code. Hopefully I will have enough energy to send the rest of my patches will follow and to remove it from the rest of the kernel.

ipv6: Add rate limit mask for ICMPv6 messages To make ICMPv6 closer to ICMPv4, add ratemask parameter. Since the ICMP message types use larger numeric values, a simple bitmask doesn't fit. I use large bitmap. The input and output are the in form of list of ranges. Set the default to rate limit all error messages but Packet Too Big. For Packet Too Big, use ratemask instead of hard-coded. There are functions where icmpv6_xrlim_allow() and icmpv6_global_allow() aren't called. This patch only adds them to icmpv6_echo_reply(). Rate limiting error messages is mandated by RFC 4443 but RFC 4890 says that it is also acceptable to rate limit informational messages. Thus, I removed the current hard-coded behavior of icmpv6_mask_allow() that doesn't rate limit informational messages. v2: Add dummy function proc_do_large_bitmap() if CONFIG_PROC_SYSCTL isn't defined, expand the description in ip-sysctl.txt and remove unnecessary conditional before kfree(). v3: Inline the bitmap instead of dynamically allocated.

bpf: enable program stats JITed BPF programs are indistinguishable from kernel functions, but unlike kernel code BPF code can be changed often. Typical approach of "perf record" + "perf report" profiling and tuning of kernel code works just as well for BPF programs, but kernel code doesn't need to be monitored whereas BPF programs do. Users load and run large amount of BPF programs. These BPF stats allow tools monitor the usage of BPF on the server. The monitoring tools will turn sysctl kernel.bpf_stats_enabled on and off for few seconds to sample average cost of the programs. Aggregated data over hours and days will provide an insight into cost of BPF and alarms can trigger in case given program suddenly gets more expensive. The cost of two sched_clock() per program invocation adds ~20 nsec. Fast BPF progs (like selftests/bpf/progs/test_pkt_access.c) will slow down from ~10 nsec to ~30 nsec. static_key minimizes the cost of the stats collection.

sysctl: handle error writing UINT_MAX to u32 fields We have scripts which write to certain fields on 3.18 kernels but this seems to be failing on 4.4 kernels. An entry which we write to here is xfrm_aevent_rseqth which is u32. echo 4294967295 > /proc/sys/net/core/xfrm_aevent_rseqth Commit 230633d109e3 ("kernel/sysctl.c: detect overflows when converting to int") prevented writing to sysctl entries when integer overflow occurs. However, this does not apply to unsigned integers. Heinrich suggested that we introduce a new option to handle 64 bit limits and set min as 0 and max as UINT_MAX. This might not work as it leads to issues similar to __do_proc_doulongvec_minmax. Alternatively, we would need to change the datatype of the entry to 64 bit. static int __do_proc_doulongvec_minmax(void *data, struct ctl_table { i = (unsigned long *) data; //This cast is causing to read beyond the size of data (u32) vleft = table->maxlen / sizeof(unsigned long); //vleft is 0 because maxlen is sizeof(u32) which is lesser than sizeof(unsigned long) on x86_64. Introduce a new proc handler proc_douintvec. Individual proc entries will need to be updated to use the new handler.
