| | * ftrace/x86: Do not change stacks in DEBUG when calling lockdepSteven Rostedt2012-05-311-3/+41
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | When both DYNAMIC_FTRACE and LOCKDEP are set, the TRACE_IRQS_ON/OFF will call into the lockdep code. The lockdep code can call lots of functions that may be traced by ftrace. When ftrace is updating its code and hits a breakpoint, the breakpoint handler will call into lockdep. If lockdep happens to call a function that also has a breakpoint attached, it will jump back into the breakpoint handler resetting the stack to the debug stack and corrupt the contents currently on that stack. The 'do_sym' call that calls do_int3() is protected by modifying the IST table to point to a different location if another breakpoint is hit. But the TRACE_IRQS_OFF/ON are outside that protection, and if a breakpoint is hit from those, the stack will get corrupted, and the kernel will crash: [ 1013.243754] BUG: unable to handle kernel NULL pointer dereference at 0000000000000002 [ 1013.272665] IP: [<ffff880145cc0000>] 0xffff880145cbffff [ 1013.285186] PGD 1401b2067 PUD 14324c067 PMD 0 [ 1013.298832] Oops: 0010 [#1] PREEMPT SMP [ 1013.310600] CPU 2 [ 1013.317904] Modules linked in: ip6t_REJECT nf_conntrack_ipv6 nf_defrag_ipv6 xt_state nf_conntrack ip6table_filter ip6_tables crc32c_intel ghash_clmulni_intel microcode usb_debug serio_raw pcspkr iTCO_wdt i2c_i801 iTCO_vendor_support e1000e nfsd nfs_acl auth_rpcgss lockd sunrpc i915 video i2c_algo_bit drm_kms_helper drm i2c_core [last unloaded: scsi_wait_scan] [ 1013.401848] [ 1013.407399] Pid: 112, comm: kworker/2:1 Not tainted 3.4.0+ #30 [ 1013.437943] RIP: 8eb8:[<ffff88014630a000>] [<ffff88014630a000>] 0xffff880146309fff [ 1013.459871] RSP: ffffffff8165e919:ffff88014780f408 EFLAGS: 00010046 [ 1013.477909] RAX: 0000000000000001 RBX: ffffffff81104020 RCX: 0000000000000000 [ 1013.499458] RDX: ffff880148008ea8 RSI: ffffffff8131ef40 RDI: ffffffff82203b20 [ 1013.521612] RBP: ffffffff81005751 R08: 0000000000000000 R09: 0000000000000000 [ 1013.543121] R10: ffffffff82cdc318 R11: 0000000000000000 R12: ffff880145cc0000 [ 1013.564614] R13: ffff880148008eb8 R14: 0000000000000002 R15: ffff88014780cb40 [ 1013.586108] FS: 0000000000000000(0000) GS:ffff880148000000(0000) knlGS:0000000000000000 [ 1013.609458] CS: 0010 DS: 0000 ES: 0000 CR0: 000000008005003b [ 1013.627420] CR2: 0000000000000002 CR3: 0000000141f10000 CR4: 00000000001407e0 [ 1013.649051] DR0: 0000000000000000 DR1: 0000000000000000 DR2: 0000000000000000 [ 1013.670724] DR3: 0000000000000000 DR6: 00000000ffff0ff0 DR7: 0000000000000400 [ 1013.692376] Process kworker/2:1 (pid: 112, threadinfo ffff88013fe0e000, task ffff88014020a6a0) [ 1013.717028] Stack: [ 1013.724131] ffff88014780f570 ffff880145cc0000 0000400000004000 0000000000000000 [ 1013.745918] cccccccccccccccc ffff88014780cca8 ffffffff811072bb ffffffff81651627 [ 1013.767870] ffffffff8118f8a7 ffffffff811072bb ffffffff81f2b6c5 ffffffff81f11bdb [ 1013.790021] Call Trace: [ 1013.800701] Code: 5a 5a 5a 5a 5a 5a 5a 5a 5a 5a 5a 5a 5a 5a 5a 5a 5a 5a 5a 5a 5a 5a 5a 5a 5a 5a 5a 5a 5a 5a 5a 5a 5a 5a 5a 5a 5a 5a 5a 5a 5a 5a 5a <e7> d7 64 81 ff ff ff ff 01 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 65 d9 64 81 ff [ 1013.861443] RIP [<ffff88014630a000>] 0xffff880146309fff [ 1013.884466] RSP <ffff88014780f408> [ 1013.901507] CR2: 0000000000000002 The solution was to reuse the NMI functions that change the IDT table to make the debug stack keep its current stack (in kernel mode) when hitting a breakpoint: call debug_stack_set_zero TRACE_IRQS_ON call debug_stack_reset If the TRACE_IRQS_ON happens to hit a breakpoint then it will keep the current stack and not crash the box.

| | * x86: Allow nesting of the debug stack IDT settingSteven Rostedt2012-05-311-1/+7
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | When the NMI handler runs, it checks if it preempted a debug handler and if that handler is using the debug stack. If it is, it changes the IDT table not to update the stack, otherwise it will reset the debug stack and corrupt the debug handler it preempted. Now that ftrace uses breakpoints to change functions from nops to callers, many more places may hit a breakpoint. Unfortunately this includes some of the calls that lockdep performs. Which causes issues with the debug stack. It too needs to change the debug stack before tracing (if called from the debug handler). Allow the debug_stack_set_zero() and debug_stack_reset() to be nested so that the debug handlers can take advantage of them too. [ Used this_cpu_*() over __get_cpu_var() as suggested by H. Peter Anvin ] Signed-off-by: Steven Rostedt <rostedt@goodmis.org>
| | * x86: Reset the debug_stack update counterSteven Rostedt2012-05-311-2/+4
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | When an NMI goes off and it sees that it preempted the debug stack, to keep the debug stack safe, it changes the IDT to point to one that does not modify the stack on breakpoint (to allow breakpoints in NMIs). But the variable that gets set to know to undo it on exit never gets cleared on exit. Thus every NMI will reset it on exit the first time it is done even if it does not need to be reset. [ Added H. Peter Anvin's suggestion to use this_cpu_read/write ] Cc: <stable@vger.kernel.org> # v3.3 Signed-off-by: Steven Rostedt <rostedt@goodmis.org>
| | * ftrace: Use breakpoint method to update ftrace callerSteven Rostedt2012-05-311-16/+72
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | On boot up and module load, it is fine to modify the code directly, without the use of breakpoints. This is because boot up modification is done before SMP is initialized, thus the modification is serial, and module load is done before the module executes. But after that we must use a SMP safe method to modify running code. Otherwise, if we are running the function tracer and update its function (by starting off the stack tracer, or perf tracing) the change of the function called by the ftrace trampoline is done directly. If this is being executed on another CPU, that CPU may take a GPF and crash the kernel. The breakpoint method is used to change the nops at all the functions, but the change of the ftrace callback handler itself was still using a direct modification. If tracing was enabled and the function callback was changed then another CPU could fault if it was currently calling the original callback. This modification must use the breakpoint method too. Note, the direct method is still used for boot up and module load. Signed-off-by: Steven Rostedt <rostedt@goodmis.org>
| | * ftrace: Synchronize variable setting with breakpointsSteven Rostedt2012-05-313-6/+42
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | When the function tracer starts modifying the code via breakpoints it sets a variable (modifying_ftrace_code) to inform the breakpoint handler to call the ftrace int3 code. But there's no synchronization between setting this code and the handler, thus it is possible for the handler to be called on another CPU before it sees the variable. This will cause a kernel crash as the int3 handler will not know what to do with it. I originally added smp_mb()'s to force the visibility of the variable but H. Peter Anvin suggested that I just make it atomic. [ Added comments as suggested by Peter Zijlstra ] Suggested-by: H. Peter Anvin <hpa@zytor.com> Signed-off-by: Steven Rostedt <rostedt@goodmis.org>
| * | x86, x32, ptrace: Remove PTRACE_ARCH_PRCTL for x32H.J. Lu2012-06-011-6/+0
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | When I added x32 ptrace to 3.4 kernel, I also include PTRACE_ARCH_PRCTL support for x32 GDB For ARCH_GET_FS/GS, it takes a pointer to int64. But at user level, ARCH_GET_FS/GS takes a pointer to int32. So I have to add x32 ptrace to glibc to handle it with a temporary int64 passed to kernel and copy it back to GDB as int32. Roland suggested that PTRACE_ARCH_PRCTL is obsolete and x32 GDB should use fs_base and gs_base fields of user_regs_struct instead. Accordingly, remove PTRACE_ARCH_PRCTL completely from the x32 code to avoid possible memory overrun when pointer to int32 is passed to kernel.

| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Since we can't expect every user to read the EFI boot stub code it seems prudent to have a couple of paragraphs explaining what it is and how it works. The "initrd=" option in particular is tricky because it only understands absolute EFI-style paths (backslashes as directory separators), and until now this hasn't been documented anywhere. This has tripped up a couple of users.

| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | The loop at the 'close_handles' label in handle_ramdisks() should be using 'i', which represents the number of initrd files that were successfully opened, not 'nr_initrds' which is the number of initrd= arguments passed on the command line. Currently, if we execute the loop to close all file handles and we failed to open any initrds we'll try to call the close function on a garbage pointer, causing the machine to hang.

Then we jump to resume_userspace_sig, which rechecks the same thing and bails out to resume_kernel, thus breaking the loop. It's easier and cheaper to check *before* calling do_notify_resume() and bail out to resume_kernel immediately. And kill the check in do_signal()... Note that on amd64 we can't get there with !user_mode() at all - asm glue takes care of that.

The 2nd step can be solved by using appropriate CLONE_ flags and the unshare syscall, while there's currently no ways for solving the 1st one. One of the ways for checking whether two tasks share e.g. mm_struct is to provide some mm_struct ID of a task to its proc file, but showing such info considered to be not that good for security reasons. Thus after some debates we end up in conclusion that using that named 'comparison' syscall might be the best candidate. So here is it -- __NR_kcmp. It takes up to 5 arguments - the pids of the two tasks (which characteristics should be compared), the comparison type and (in case of comparison of files) two file descriptors. Lookups for pids are done in the caller's PID namespace only. At moment only x86 is supported and tested.

The main reason for doing this is that it eliminates the last place in the kernel where we needed pages to be mapped RWX. This code separates all that code into proper R/RW/RX pages." Fix up conflicts in arch/x86/kernel/Makefile (mca removed next to reboot code), and arch/x86/kernel/reboot.c (reboot code moved around in one branch, modified in this one), and arch/x86/tools/relocs.c (mostly same code came in earlier due to working around the ld bugs just before the 3.4 release).

However, we rely on the existence of the .signature section to expand .bss, otherwise we would have to include code to explicitly zero the .bss depending on the configuration. Since the expanded .bss is just in .init.data anyway, it's easier to always have it expanded. This fixes failures when compiled without CONFIG_ACPI_SLEEP.

The value of cr0 was also stored in %eax, which was later used to set cr0 after masking out lower byte (except TS bit) in order to enter real-mode. In the new real-mode code infrastructure we wanted to keep input parameter in %eax so we are using %edx for both cr0 cases. This has caused regression since andl overwrites the value of %edx. This patch fixes the issue by replacing andl with testl, which is essentially andl without writing result to the register. Special thanks to Paolo Bonzini for noting this and proposing a fix.

| | * | | | | x86, realmode: move relocs from scripts/ to arch/x86/toolsJarkko Sakkinen2012-05-086-3/+815

Added new target archscripts that can be used to build scripts needed building an architecture.

| | * | | | | x86, realmode: header for trampoline codeJarkko Sakkinen2012-05-088-88/+87
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Added header for trampoline code that can be used to supply input data to it. This makes interface between real mode code and kernel cleaner and simpler. Replaced two confusing pointers to level4 pgt in trampoline_64.S with a single pointer to the beginning of the page table.
