| 8d43828 | Akinobu Mita | 30 July 2012, 21:43:02 UTC | fault-injection: notifier error injection 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.

| 65fed8f | Octavian Purdila | 30 July 2012, 21:42:58 UTC | resource: make sure requested range is included in the root range 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.

| 05ba3f1 | Will Deacon | 30 July 2012, 21:42:43 UTC | ipc: compat: use signed size_t types for msgsnd and msgrcv 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.

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.

| f19b9f7 | Akinobu Mita | 30 July 2012, 21:42:33 UTC | fork: fix error handling in dup_task() 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: Akinobu Mita <akinobu.mita@gmail.com> Cc: Thomas Gleixner <tglx@linutronix.de> Cc: Ingo Molnar <mingo@redhat.com> Cc: "H.

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 b409e578d ("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.

| 0f20784 | Tetsuo Handa | 30 July 2012, 21:42:20 UTC | kmod: avoid deadlock from recursive kmod call 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.

This deadlock is 100% reproducible. This is because nilfs_ioctl_change_cpmode() first locks sb->s_umount in read mode and then waits for unfreezing in nilfs_transaction_begin(), whereas thaw_super() locks sb->s_umount in write mode. The locking of sb->s_umount here was intended to make snapshot mounts and the downgrade of snapshots to checkpoints exclusive. This fixes the deadlock issue by replacing the sb->s_umount usage in nilfs_ioctl_change_cpmode() with a dedicated mutex which protects snapshot mounts.

| fe0627e | Ryusuke Konishi | 30 July 2012, 21:42:05 UTC | nilfs2: fix timing issue between rmcp and chcp ioctls The checkpoint deletion ioctl (rmcp ioctl) has potential for breaking snapshot because it is not fully exclusive with checkpoint mode change ioctl (chcp ioctl). The rmcp ioctl first tests if the specified checkpoint is a snapshot or not within nilfs_cpfile_delete_checkpoint function, and then calls nilfs_cpfile_delete_checkpoints function to actually invalidate the checkpoint only if it's not a snapshot. However, the checkpoint can be changed into a snapshot by the chcp ioctl between these two operations. In that case, calling nilfs_cpfile_delete_checkpoints() wrongly invalidates the snapshot, which leads to snapshot list corruption and snapshot count mismatch. This fixes the issue by changing nilfs_cpfile_delete_checkpoints() so that it reconfirms the target checkpoints are snapshot or not. This second check is exclusive with the chcp operation since it is protected by an existing semaphore.

| 45226e9 | Sameer Nanda | 30 July 2012, 21:40:00 UTC | NMI watchdog: fix for lockup detector breakage on resume On the suspend/resume path the boot CPU does not go though an offline->online transition. This breaks the NMI detector post-resume since it depends on PMU state that is lost when the system gets suspended. Fix this by forcing a CPU offline->online transition for the lockup detector on the boot CPU during resume. To provide more context, we enable NMI watchdog on Chrome OS. We have seen several reports of systems freezing up completely which indicated that the NMI watchdog was not firing for some reason. Debugging further, we found a simple way of repro'ing system freezes -- issuing the command 'tasket 1 sh -c "echo nmilockup > /proc/breakme"' after the system has been suspended/resumed one or more times. With this patch in place, the system freeze result in panics, as expected. These panics provide a nice stack trace for us to debug the actual issue causing the freeze.

| 190320c | Vikram Mulukutla | 30 July 2012, 21:39:58 UTC | panic: fix a possible deadlock in panic() panic_lock is meant to ensure that panic processing takes place only on one cpu; if any of the other cpus encounter a panic, they will spin waiting to be shut down. However, this causes a regression in this scenario: 1. Cpu 0 encounters a panic and acquires the panic_lock and proceeds with the panic processing. 2. There is an interrupt on cpu 0 that also encounters an error condition and invokes panic. 3. This second invocation fails to acquire the panic_lock and enters the infinite while loop in panic_smp_self_stop. Thus all panic processing is stopped, and the cpu is stuck for eternity in the while(1) inside panic_smp_self_stop. To address this, disable local interrupts with local_irq_disable before acquiring the panic_lock. This will prevent interrupt handlers from executing during the panic processing, thus avoiding this particular problem.
