We are seeing a lot of sg_alloc_table allocation failures using the new drm prime infrastructure. We isolated the cause to code in __sg_alloc_table that was re-writing the gfp_flags. There is a comment in the code that suggest that there is an assumption about the allocation coming from a memory pool. This was likely true when sg lists were primarily used for disk I/O.

Rewrite existing cpu-notifier-error-inject module to use debugfs based new framework. This change removes cpu_up_prepare_error and cpu_down_prepare_error module parameters which were used to specify error code to be injected. We could keep these module parameters for backward compatibility by module_param_cb but it seems overkill for this module. This provides the ability to inject artifical errors to CPU notifier chain callbacks. It is controlled through debugfs interface under /sys/kernel/debug/notifier-error-inject/cpu If the notifier call chain should be failed with some events notified, write the error code to "actions/<notifier event>/error".

This patchset provides kernel modules that can be used to test the error handling of notifier call chain failures by injecting artifical errors to the following notifier chain callbacks. * CPU notifier * PM notifier * memory hotplug notifier * powerpc pSeries reconfig notifier Example: Inject CPU offline error (-1 == -EPERM) # cd /sys/kernel/debug/notifier-error-inject/cpu # echo -1 > actions/CPU_DOWN_PREPARE/error # echo 0 > /sys/devices/system/cpu/cpu1/online bash: echo: write error: Operation not permitted The patchset also adds cpu and memory hotplug tests to tools/testing/selftests These tests first do simple online and offline test and then do fault injection tests if notifier error injection module is available. This patch: The notifier error injection provides the ability to inject artifical errors to specified notifier chain callbacks. It is useful to test the error handling of notifier call chain failures. This adds common basic functions to define which type of events can be fail and to initialize the debugfs interface to control what error code should be returned and which event should be failed.

When the requested range is outside of the root range the logic in __reserve_region_with_split will cause an infinite recursion which will overflow the stack as seen in the warning bellow. This particular stack overflow was caused by requesting the (100000000-107ffffff) range while the root range was (0-ffffffff). In this case __request_resource would return the whole root range as conflict range (i.e. 0-ffffffff). Then, the logic in __reserve_region_with_split would continue the recursion requesting the new range as (conflict->end+1, end) which incidentally in this case equals the originally requested range. This patch aborts looking for an usable range when the request does not intersect with the root range. When the request partially overlaps with the root range, it ajust the request to fall in the root range and then continues with the new request. When the request is modified or aborted errors and a stack trace are logged to allow catching the errors in the upper layers.

Convert init_sync_kiocb() from a nasty macro into a nice C function. The struct assignment trick takes care of zeroing all unmentioned fields. Shrinks fs/read_write.o's .text from 9857 bytes to 9714.

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.

The msgsnd and msgrcv system calls use size_t to represent the size of the message being transferred. POSIX states that values of msgsz greater than SSIZE_MAX cause the result to be implementation-defined. On Linux, this equates to returning -EINVAL if (long) msgsz < 0. For compat tasks where !CONFIG_ARCH_WANT_OLD_COMPAT_IPC and compat_size_t is smaller than size_t, negative size values passed from userspace will be interpreted as positive values by do_msg{rcv,snd} and will fail to exit early with -EINVAL. This patch changes the compat prototypes for msg{rcv,snd} so that the message size is represented as a compat_ssize_t, which we cast to the native ssize_t type for the core IPC code.

Commit 48b25c43 ("ipc: provide generic compat versions of IPC syscalls") added a new ARCH_WANT_OLD_COMPAT_IPC config option for architectures to select if their compat target requires the old IPC syscall interface. For architectures (such as AArch64) that do not require the internal calling conventions provided by this option, but have a compat target where the C library passes the IPC_64 flag explicitly, compat_ipc_parse_version no longer strips out the flag before calling the native system call implementation, resulting in unknown SHM/IPC commands and -EINVAL being returned to userspace. This patch separates the selection of the internal calling conventions for the IPC syscalls from the version parsing, allowing architectures to select __ARCH_WANT_COMPAT_IPC_PARSE_VERSION if they want to use version parsing whilst retaining the newer syscall calling conventions.

If the SHMLBA definition for a native task differs from the definition for a compat task, the do_shmat() function would need to handle both. This patch introduces COMPAT_SHMLBA, which is used by the compat shmat syscall when calling the ipc code and allows architectures such as AArch64 (where the native SHMLBA is 64k but the compat (AArch32) definition is 16k) to provide the correct semantics for compat IPC system calls.

The last line of vmcoreinfo note does not end with \n. Parsing all the lines in note becomes easier if all lines end with \n instead of trying to special case the last line. I know at least one tool, vmcore-dmesg in kexec-tools tree which made the assumption that all lines end with \n. I think it is a good idea to fix it. Signed-off-by:

The function dup_task() may fail at the following function calls in the following order. 0) alloc_task_struct_node() 1) alloc_thread_info_node() 2) arch_dup_task_struct() Error by 0) is not a matter, it can just return. But error by 1) requires releasing task_struct allocated by 0) before it returns. Likewise, error by 2) requires releasing task_struct and thread_info allocated by 0) and 1). The existing error handling calls free_task_struct() and free_thread_info() which do not only release task_struct and thread_info, but also call architecture specific arch_release_task_struct() and arch_release_thread_info(). The problem is that task_struct and thread_info are not fully initialized yet at this point, but arch_release_task_struct() and arch_release_thread_info() are called with them. For example, x86 defines its own arch_release_task_struct() that releases a task_xstate. If alloc_thread_info_node() fails in dup_task(), arch_release_task_struct() is called with task_struct which is just allocated and filled with garbage in this error handling. This actually happened with tools/testing/fault-injection/failcmd.sh # env FAILCMD_TYPE=fail_page_alloc \ ./tools/testing/fault-injection/failcmd.sh --times=100 \ --min-order=0 --ignore-gfp-wait=0 \ -- make -C tools/testing/selftests/ run_tests In order to fix this issue, make free_{task_struct,thread_info}() not to call arch_release_{task_struct,thread_info}() and call arch_release_{task_struct,thread_info}() implicitly where needed. Default arch_release_task_struct() and arch_release_thread_info() are defined as empty by default. So this change only affects the architectures which implement their own arch_release_task_struct() or arch_release_thread_info() as listed below. arch_release_task_struct(): x86, sh arch_release_thread_info(): mn10300, tile Signed-off-by:

__mem_open() which is called by both /proc/<pid>/environ and /proc/<pid>/mem ->open() handlers will allow the use of negative offsets. /proc/<pid>/mem has negative offsets but not /proc/<pid>/environ. Clean this by moving the 'force FMODE_UNSIGNED_OFFSET flag' to mem_open() to allow negative offsets only on /proc/<pid>/mem. Signed-off-by:

Currently the following offset and environment address range check in environ_read() of /proc/<pid>/environ is buggy: int this_len = mm->env_end - (mm->env_start + src); if (this_len <= 0) break; Large or negative offsets on /proc/<pid>/environ converted to 'unsigned long' may pass this check since '(mm->env_start + src)' can overflow and 'this_len' will be positive. This can turn /proc/<pid>/environ to act like /proc/<pid>/mem since (mm->env_start + src) will point and read from another VMA. There are two fixes here plus some code cleaning: 1) Fix the overflow by checking if the offset that was converted to unsigned long will always point to the [mm->env_start, mm->env_end] address range. 2) Remove the truncation that was made to the result of the check, storing the result in 'int this_len' will alter its value and we can not depend on it. For kernels that have commit b409e578 ("proc: clean up /proc/<pid>/environ handling") which adds the appropriate ptrace check and saves the 'mm' at ->open() time, this is not a security issue. This patch is taken from the grsecurity patch since it was just made available. Signed-off-by:

The system deadlocks (at least since 2.6.10) when call_usermodehelper(UMH_WAIT_EXEC) request triggers call_usermodehelper(UMH_WAIT_PROC) request. This is because "khelper thread is waiting for the worker thread at wait_for_completion() in do_fork() since the worker thread was created with CLONE_VFORK flag" and "the worker thread cannot call complete() because do_execve() is blocked at UMH_WAIT_PROC request" and "the khelper thread cannot start processing UMH_WAIT_PROC request because the khelper thread is waiting for the worker thread at wait_for_completion() in do_fork()". The easiest example to observe this deadlock is to use a corrupted /sbin/hotplug binary (like shown below). # : > /tmp/dummy # chmod 755 /tmp/dummy # echo /tmp/dummy > /proc/sys/kernel/hotplug # modprobe whatever call_usermodehelper("/tmp/dummy", UMH_WAIT_EXEC) is called from kobject_uevent_env() in lib/kobject_uevent.c upon loading/unloading a module. do_execve("/tmp/dummy") triggers a call to request_module("binfmt-0000") from search_binary_handler() which in turn calls call_usermodehelper(UMH_WAIT_PROC). In order to avoid deadlock, as a for-now and easy-to-backport solution, do not try to call wait_for_completion() in call_usermodehelper_exec() if the worker thread was created by khelper thread with CLONE_VFORK flag. Future and fundamental solution might be replacing singleton khelper thread with some workqueue so that recursive calls up to max_active dependency loop can be handled without deadlock.
