Lorenzo Pieralisi [Thu, 5 Nov 2015 14:00:56 +0000 (14:00 +0000)]
arm64: cmpxchg_dbl: fix return value type

The current arm64 __cmpxchg_double{_mb} implementations carry out the
compare exchange by first comparing the old values passed in to the
values read from the pointer provided and by stashing the cumulative
bitwise difference in a 64-bit register.

By comparing the register content against 0, it is possible to detect if
the values read differ from the old values passed in, so that the compare
exchange detects whether it has to bail out or carry on completing the
operation with the exchange.

Given the current implementation, to detect the cmpxchg operation
status, the __cmpxchg_double{_mb} functions should return the 64-bit
stashed bitwise difference so that the caller can detect cmpxchg failure
by comparing the return value content against 0. The current implementation
declares the return value as an int, which means that the 64-bit
value stashing the bitwise difference is truncated before being
returned to the __cmpxchg_double{_mb} callers, which means that
any bitwise difference present in the top 32 bits goes undetected,
triggering false positives and subsequent kernel failures.

This patch fixes the issue by declaring the arm64 __cmpxchg_double{_mb}
return values as a long, so that the bitwise difference is
properly propagated on failure, restoring the expected behaviour.

At the moment we run through the arm64_features capability list for
each CPU and set the capability if one of the CPU supports it. This
could be problematic in a heterogeneous system with differing capabilities.
Delay the CPU feature checks until all the enabled CPUs are up(i.e,
smp_cpus_done(), so that we can make better decisions based on the
overall system capability. Once we decide and advertise the capabilities
the alternatives can be applied. From this state, we cannot roll back
a feature to disabled based on the values from a new hotplugged CPU,
due to the runtime patching and other reasons. So, for all new CPUs,
we need to make sure that they have the established system capabilities.
Failing which, we bring the CPU down, preventing it from turning online.
Once the capabilities are decided, any new CPU booting up goes through
verification to ensure that it has all the enabled capabilities and also
invokes the respective enable() method on the CPU.

The CPU errata checks are not delayed and is still executed per-CPU
to detect the respective capabilities. If we ever come across a non-errata
capability that needs to be checked on each-CPU, we could introduce them via
a new capability table(or introduce a flag), which can be processed per CPU.

The next patch will make the feature checks use the system wide
safe value of a feature register.

NOTE: The enable() methods associated with the capability is scheduled
on all the CPUs (which is the only use case at the moment). If we need
a different type of 'enable()' which only needs to be run once on any CPU,

arm64: Synchronise dump_backtrace() with perf callchain

Unlike perf callchain relying on walk_stackframe(), dump_backtrace()
has its own backtrace logic. A major difference between them is the
moment a symbol is recorded. Perf writes down a symbol *before*
calling unwind_frame(), but dump_backtrace() prints it out *after*
unwind_frame(). As a result, the last valid symbol cannot be hooked
in case of dump_backtrace(). This patch addresses the issue as
synchronising dump_backtrace() with perf callchain.

A simple test and its results are as follows:

- crash trigger

 $ sudo echo c > /proc/sysrq-trigger

- current status

 Call trace:

last stack frame of swapper, for example, has PC in a form of physical
address. Unfortunately, a simple conversion using phys_to_virt() cannot
cover all scenarios since PC is retrieved from LR - 4, not LR. It is
a big tradeoff to change both head.S and unwind_frame() for only a few
of symbols in *.S. Thus, this hunk does not take care of the case.

arm64: add KASAN support

This patch adds arch specific code for kernel address sanitizer
(see Documentation/kasan.txt).

1/8 of kernel addresses reserved for shadow memory. There was no
big enough hole for this, so virtual addresses for shadow were
stolen from vmalloc area.

At early boot stage the whole shadow region populated with just
one physical page (kasan_zero_page). Later, this page reused
as readonly zero shadow for some memory that KASan currently
don't track (vmalloc).
After mapping the physical memory, pages for shadow memory are
allocated and mapped.

Functions like memset/memmove/memcpy do a lot of memory accesses.
If bad pointer passed to one of these function it is important
to catch this. Compiler's instrumentation cannot do this since
these functions are written in assembly.
KASan replaces memory functions with manually instrumented variants.
Original functions declared as weak symbols so strong definitions
in mm/kasan/kasan.c could replace them. Original functions have aliases
with '__' prefix in name, so we could call non-instrumented variant
if needed.
Some files built without kasan instrumentation (e.g. mm/slub.c).
Original mem* function replaced (via #define) with prefixed variants
to disable memory access checks for such files.

With 64k pages, the next larger segment size is 512M. The linux
kernel also uses different protection flags to cover its code and data.
Because of this requirement, the vast majority of the kernel code and
data structures end up being mapped with 64k pages instead of the larger
pages common with a 4k page kernel.

page tables which allows the a TLB to cover a range larger than a
single PTE if that range is mapped into physically contiguous
ram.

So, for the kernel its a good idea to set this flag. Some basic

arm64: switch_mm: simplify mm and CPU checks

switch_mm performs some checks to try and avoid entering the ASID
allocator:

  (1) If we're switching to the init_mm (no user mappings), then simply
      set a reserved TTBR0 value with no page table (the zero page)

  (2) If prev == next *and* the mm_cpumask indicates that we've run on
      this CPU before, then we can skip the allocator.

However, there is plenty of redundancy here. With the new ASID allocator,
if prev == next, then we know that our ASID is valid and do not need to
worry about re-allocation. Consequently, we can drop the mm_cpumask check
in (2) and move the prev == next check before the init_mm check, since
if prev == next == init_mm then there's nothing to do.

arm64: mm: rewrite ASID allocator and MM context-switching code

Our current switch_mm implementation suffers from a number of problems:

  (1) The ASID allocator relies on IPIs to synchronise the CPUs on a
      rollover event

  (2) Because of (1), we cannot allocate ASIDs with interrupts disabled
      and therefore make use of a TIF_SWITCH_MM flag to postpone the
      actual switch to finish_arch_post_lock_switch

  (3) We run context switch with a reserved (invalid) TTBR0 value, even
      though the ASID and pgd are updated atomically

  (4) We take a global spinlock (cpu_asid_lock) during context-switch

  (5) We use h/w broadcast TLB operations when they are not required
      (e.g. in flush_context)

This patch addresses these problems by rewriting the ASID algorithm to
match the bitmap-based arch/arm/ implementation more closely. This in
turn allows us to remove much of the complications surrounding switch_mm,
including the ugly thread flag.

Merge branch 'strscpy' of git://git./linux/kernel/git/cmetcalf/linux-tile

Pull strscpy string copy function implementation from Chris Metcalf.

Chris sent this during the merge window, but I waffled back and forth on
the pull request, which is why it's going in only now.

The new "strscpy()" function is definitely easier to use and more secure
than either strncpy() or strlcpy(), both of which are horrible nasty
interfaces that have serious and irredeemable problems.

strncpy() has a useless return value, and doesn't NUL-terminate an
overlong result.  To make matters worse, it pads a short result with
zeroes, which is a performance disaster if you have big buffers.

strlcpy(), by contrast, is a mis-designed "fix" for strlcpy(), lacking
the insane NUL padding, but having a differently broken return value
which returns the original length of the source string.  Which means
that it will read characters past the count from the source buffer, and
you have to trust the source to be properly terminated.  It also makes
error handling fragile, since the test for overflow is unnecessarily
subtle.

strscpy() avoids both these problems, guaranteeing the NUL termination
(but not excessive padding) if the destination size wasn't zero, and
making the overflow condition very obvious by returning -E2BIG.  It also
doesn't read past the size of the source, and can thus be used for
untrusted source data too.

So why did I waffle about this for so long?

Every time we introduce a new-and-improved interface, people start doing
these interminable series of trivial conversion patches.

And every time that happens, somebody does some silly mistake, and the
conversion patch to the improved interface actually makes things worse.
Because the patch is mindnumbing and trivial, nobody has the attention
span to look at it carefully, and it's usually done over large swatches
of source code which means that not every conversion gets tested.

So I'm pulling the strscpy() support because it *is* a better interface.
But I will refuse to pull mindless conversion patches.  Use this in
places where it makes sense, but don't do trivial patches to fix things
that aren't actually known to be broken.
