      livepatch: change to a per-task consistency model · d83a7cb3
      Josh Poimboeuf authored
      
      
      Change livepatch to use a basic per-task consistency model.  This is the
      foundation which will eventually enable us to patch those ~10% of
      security patches which change function or data semantics.  This is the
      biggest remaining piece needed to make livepatch more generally useful.
      
      This code stems from the design proposal made by Vojtech [1] in November
      2014.  It's a hybrid of kGraft and kpatch: it uses kGraft's per-task
      consistency and syscall barrier switching combined with kpatch's stack
      trace switching.  There are also a number of fallback options which make
      it quite flexible.
      
      Patches are applied on a per-task basis, when the task is deemed safe to
      switch over.  When a patch is enabled, livepatch enters into a
      transition state where tasks are converging to the patched state.
      Usually this transition state can complete in a few seconds.  The same
      sequence occurs when a patch is disabled, except the tasks converge from
      the patched state to the unpatched state.
      
      An interrupt handler inherits the patched state of the task it
      interrupts.  The same is true for forked tasks: the child inherits the
      patched state of the parent.
      
      Livepatch uses several complementary approaches to determine when it's
      safe to patch tasks:
      
      1. The first and most effective approach is stack checking of sleeping
         tasks.  If no affected functions are on the stack of a given task,
         the task is patched.  In most cases this will patch most or all of
         the tasks on the first try.  Otherwise it'll keep trying
         periodically.  This option is only available if the architecture has
         reliable stacks (HAVE_RELIABLE_STACKTRACE).
      
      2. The second approach, if needed, is kernel exit switching.  A
         task is switched when it returns to user space from a system call, a
         user space IRQ, or a signal.  It's useful in the following cases:
      
         a) Patching I/O-bound user tasks which are sleeping on an affected
            function.  In this case you have to send SIGSTOP and SIGCONT to
            force it to exit the kernel and be patched.
         b) Patching CPU-bound user tasks.  If the task is highly CPU-bound
            then it will get patched the next time it gets interrupted by an
            IRQ.
         c) In the future it could be useful for applying patches for
            architectures which don't yet have HAVE_RELIABLE_STACKTRACE.  In
            this case you would have to signal most of the tasks on the
            system.  However this isn't supported yet because there's
            currently no way to patch kthreads without
            HAVE_RELIABLE_STACKTRACE.
      
      3. For idle "swapper" tasks, since they don't ever exit the kernel, they
         instead have a klp_update_patch_state() call in the idle loop which
         allows them to be patched before the CPU enters the idle state.
      
         (Note there's not yet such an approach for kthreads.)
      
      All the above approaches may be skipped by setting the 'immediate' flag
      in the 'klp_patch' struct, which will disable per-task consistency and
      patch all tasks immediately.  This can be useful if the patch doesn't
      change any function or data semantics.  Note that, even with this flag
      set, it's possible that some tasks may still be running with an old
      version of the function, until that function returns.
      
      There's also an 'immediate' flag in the 'klp_func' struct which allows
      you to specify that certain functions in the patch can be applied
      without per-task consistency.  This might be useful if you want to patch
      a common function like schedule(), and the function change doesn't need
      consistency but the rest of the patch does.
      
      For architectures which don't have HAVE_RELIABLE_STACKTRACE, the user
      must set patch->immediate which causes all tasks to be patched
      immediately.  This option should be used with care, only when the patch
      doesn't change any function or data semantics.
      
      In the future, architectures which don't have HAVE_RELIABLE_STACKTRACE
      may be allowed to use per-task consistency if we can come up with
      another way to patch kthreads.
      
      The /sys/kernel/livepatch/<patch>/transition file shows whether a patch
      is in transition.  Only a single patch (the topmost patch on the stack)
      can be in transition at a given time.  A patch can remain in transition
      indefinitely, if any of the tasks are stuck in the initial patch state.
      
      A transition can be reversed and effectively canceled by writing the
      opposite value to the /sys/kernel/livepatch/<patch>/enabled file while
      the transition is in progress.  Then all the tasks will attempt to
      converge back to the original patch state.

      livepatch: separate enabled and patched states · 0dade9f3
      Josh Poimboeuf authored
      
      
      Once we have a consistency model, patches and their objects will be
      enabled and disabled at different times.  For example, when a patch is
      disabled, its loaded objects' funcs can remain registered with ftrace
      indefinitely until the unpatching operation is complete and they're no
      longer in use.
      
      It's less confusing if we give them different names: patches can be
      enabled or disabled; objects (and their funcs) can be patched or
      unpatched:
      
      - Enabled means that a patch is logically enabled (but not necessarily
        fully applied).
      
      - Patched means that an object's funcs are registered with ftrace and
        added to the klp_ops func stack.
      
      Also, since these states are binary, represent them with booleans
      instead of ints.

      livepatch/s390: add TIF_PATCH_PENDING thread flag · 2f09ca60
      Miroslav Benes authored
      
      
      Update a task's patch state when returning from a system call or user
      space interrupt, or after handling a signal.
      
      This greatly increases the chances of a patch operation succeeding.  If
      a task is I/O bound, it can be patched when returning from a system
      call.  If a task is CPU bound, it can be patched when returning from an
      interrupt.  If a task is sleeping on a to-be-patched function, the user
      can send SIGSTOP and SIGCONT to force it to switch.
      
      Since there are two ways the syscall can be restarted on return from a
      signal handling process, it is important to clear the flag before
      do_signal() is called. Otherwise we could miss the migration if we used
      SIGSTOP/SIGCONT procedure or fake signal to migrate patching blocking
      tasks. If we place our hook to sysc_work label in entry before
      TIF_SIGPENDING is evaluated we kill two birds with one stone. The task
      is correctly migrated in all return paths from a syscall.

      stacktrace/x86: add function for detecting reliable stack traces · af085d90
      Josh Poimboeuf authored
      
      
      For live patching and possibly other use cases, a stack trace is only
      useful if it can be assured that it's completely reliable.  Add a new
      save_stack_trace_tsk_reliable() function to achieve that.
      
      Note that if the target task isn't the current task, and the target task
      is allowed to run, then it could be writing the stack while the unwinder
      is reading it, resulting in possible corruption.  So the caller of
      save_stack_trace_tsk_reliable() must ensure that the task is either
      'current' or inactive.
      
      save_stack_trace_tsk_reliable() relies on the x86 unwinder's detection
      of pt_regs on the stack.  If the pt_regs are not user-mode registers
      from a syscall, then they indicate an in-kernel interrupt or exception
      (e.g. preemption or a page fault), in which case the stack is considered
      unreliable due to the nature of frame pointers.
      
      It also relies on the x86 unwinder's detection of other issues, such as:
      
      - corrupted stack data
      - stack grows the wrong way
      - stack walk doesn't reach the bottom
      - user didn't provide a large enough entries array
      
      Such issues are reported by checking unwind_error() and !unwind_done().
      
      Also add CONFIG_HAVE_RELIABLE_STACKTRACE so arch-independent code can
      determine at build time whether the function is implemented.

         - An "nvdimm namespace label" is metadata on an nvdimm that

           from an nvdimm.
      
           The label metadata contains a checksum that Linux was not
           calculating correctly leading to other environments rejecting the
           Linux label.

      Merge branch 'rebased-statx' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/viro/vfs · 590dce2d
      Linus Torvalds authored
      Pull vfs 'statx()' update from Al Viro.
      
      This adds the new extended stat() interface that internally subsumes our
      previous stat interfaces, and allows user mode to specify in more detail
      what kind of information it wants.
      
      It also allows for some explicit synchronization information to be
      passed to the filesystem, which can be relevant for network filesystems:
      is the cached value ok, or do you need open/close consistency, or what?
      
      From David Howells.
      
      Andreas Dilger points out that the first version of the extended statx
      interface was posted June 29, 2010:

      Pull block layer fixes from Jens Axboe:
       "A collection of fixes for this merge window, either fixes for existing
        issues, or parts that were waiting for acks to come in. This pull
        request contains:
      
         - Allocation of nvme queues on the right node from Shaohua.
      
           This was ready long before the merge window, but waiting on an ack
           from Bjorn on the PCI bit. Now that we have that, the three patches
           can go in.
      
         - Two fixes for blk-mq-sched with nvmeof, which uses hctx specific
           request allocations. This caused an oops. One part from Sagi, one
           part from Omar.
      
         - A loop partition scan deadlock fix from Omar, fixing a regression
           in this merge window.
      
         - A three-patch series from Keith, closing up a hole on clearing out
           requests on shutdown/resume.
      
         - A stable fix for nbd from Josef, fixing a leak of sockets.
      
         - Two fixes for a regression in this window from Jan, fixing a
           problem with one of his earlier patches dealing with queue vs bdi
           life times.
      
         - A fix for a regression with virtio-blk, causing an IO stall if
           scheduling is used. From me.
      
         - A fix for an io context lock ordering problem. From me"
      
      * 'for-linus' of git://git.kernel.dk/linux-block:
        block: Move bdi_unregister() to del_gendisk()
        blk-mq: ensure that bd->last is always set correctly
        block: don't call ioc_exit_icq() with the queue lock held for blk-mq
        block: Initialize bd_bdi on inode initialization
        loop: fix LO_FLAGS_PARTSCAN hang

        blk-mq: kill blk_mq_set_alloc_data()
        blk-mq: make blk_mq_alloc_request_hctx() allocate a scheduler request
        blk-mq-sched: Allocate sched reserved tags as specified in the original queue tagset
        nvme: allocate nvme_queue in correct node
        PCI: add an API to get node from vector
        blk-mq: allocate blk_mq_tags and requests in correct node

      Linus Torvalds authored
      Pull sched.h split-up from Ingo Molnar:
       "The point of these changes is to significantly reduce the
        <linux/sched.h> header footprint, to speed up the kernel build and to
        have a cleaner header structure.
      
        After these changes the new <linux/sched.h>'s typical preprocessed
        size goes down from a previous ~0.68 MB (~22K lines) to ~0.45 MB (~15K
        lines), which is around 40% faster to build on typical configs.
      
        Not much changed from the last version (-v2) posted three weeks ago: I
        eliminated quirks, backmerged fixes plus I rebased it to an upstream
        SHA1 from yesterday that includes most changes queued up in -next plus
        all sched.h changes that were pending from Andrew.
      
        I've re-tested the series both on x86 and on cross-arch defconfigs,
        and did a bisectability test at a number of random points.
      
        I tried to test as many build configurations as possible, but some
        build breakage is probably still left - but it should be mostly
        limited to architectures that have no cross-compiler binaries
        available on kernel.org, and non-default configurations"
