perf: Fix mmap() accounting hole

2013-07-03T17:59:06Z

commit 9bb5d40cd93c9dd4be74834b1dcb1ba03629716b upstream. Vince's fuzzer once again found holes. This time it spotted a leak in the locked page accounting. When an event had redirected output and its close() was the last reference to the buffer we didn't have a vm context to undo accounting. Change the code to destroy the buffer on the last munmap() and detach all redirected events at that time. This provides us the right context to undo the vm accounting. [Backporting for 3.4-stable. VM_RESERVED flag was replaced with pair 'VM_DONTEXPAND | VM_DONTDUMP' in 314e51b9 since 3.7.0-rc1, and 314e51b9 comes from a big patchset, we didn't backport the patchset, so I restored 'VM_DNOTEXPAND | VM_DONTDUMP' as before: - vma->vm_flags |= VM_DONTCOPY | VM_DONTEXPAND | VM_DONTDUMP; + vma->vm_flags |= VM_DONTCOPY | VM_RESERVED; -- zliu] Reported-and-tested-by: Vince Weaver Signed-off-by: Peter Zijlstra Link: http://lkml.kernel.org/r/20130604084421.GI8923@twins.programming.kicks-ass.net Cc: Signed-off-by: Ingo Molnar Signed-off-by: Zhouping Liu Signed-off-by: Greg Kroah-Hartman

perf: Fix perf mmap bugs

2013-07-03T17:59:06Z

commit 26cb63ad11e04047a64309362674bcbbd6a6f246 upstream. Vince reported a problem found by his perf specific trinity fuzzer. Al noticed 2 problems with perf's mmap(): - it has issues against fork() since we use vma->vm_mm for accounting. - it has an rb refcount leak on double mmap(). We fix the issues against fork() by using VM_DONTCOPY; I don't think there's code out there that uses this; we didn't hear about weird accounting problems/crashes. If we do need this to work, the previously proposed VM_PINNED could make this work. Aside from the rb reference leak spotted by Al, Vince's example prog was indeed doing a double mmap() through the use of perf_event_set_output(). This exposes another problem, since we now have 2 events with one buffer, the accounting gets screwy because we account per event. Fix this by making the buffer responsible for its own accounting.

hw_breakpoint: Use cpu_possible_mask in {reserve,release}_bp_slot()

2013-07-03T17:59:01Z

commit c790b0ad23f427c7522ffed264706238c57c007e upstream. fetch_bp_busy_slots() and toggle_bp_slot() use for_each_online_cpu(), this is obviously wrong wrt cpu_up() or cpu_down(), we can over/under account the per-cpu numbers. For example: # echo 0 >> /sys/devices/system/cpu/cpu1/online # perf record -e mem:0x10 -p 1 & # echo 1 >> /sys/devices/system/cpu/cpu1/online # perf record -e mem:0x10,mem:0x10,mem:0x10,mem:0x10 -C1 -a & # taskset -p 0x2 1 triggers the same WARN_ONCE("Can't find any breakpoint slot") in arch_install_hw_breakpoint().

reboot: rigrate shutdown/reboot to boot cpu

2013-06-20T18:58:45Z

commit cf7df378aa4ff7da3a44769b7ff6e9eef1a9f3db upstream. We recently noticed that reboot of a 1024 cpu machine takes approx 16 minutes of just stopping the cpus. The slowdown was tracked to commit f96972f2dc63 ("kernel/sys.c: call disable_nonboot_cpus() in kernel_restart()"). The current implementation does all the work of hot removing the cpus before halting the system. We are switching to just migrating to the boot cpu and then continuing with shutdown/reboot. This also has the effect of not breaking x86's command line parameter for specifying the reboot cpu. Note, this code was shamelessly copied from arch/x86/kernel/reboot.c with bits removed pertaining to the reboot_cpu command line parameter.

CPU hotplug: provide a generic helper to disable/enable CPU hotplug

2013-06-20T18:58:44Z

commit 16e53dbf10a2d7e228709a7286310e629ede5e45 upstream. There are instances in the kernel where we would like to disable CPU hotplug (from sysfs) during some important operation. Today the freezer code depends on this and the code to do it was kinda tailor-made for that. Restructure the code and make it generic enough to be useful for other usecases too.

ftrace: Move ftrace_filter_lseek out of CONFIG_DYNAMIC_FTRACE section

2013-06-13T16:45:03Z

commit 7f49ef69db6bbf756c0abca7e9b65b32e999eec8 upstream. As ftrace_filter_lseek is now used with ftrace_pid_fops, it needs to be moved out of the #ifdef CONFIG_DYNAMIC_FTRACE section as the ftrace_pid_fops is defined when DYNAMIC_FTRACE is not.

tracing: Fix possible NULL pointer dereferences

2013-06-13T16:45:03Z

commit 6a76f8c0ab19f215af2a3442870eeb5f0e81998d upstream. Currently set_ftrace_pid and set_graph_function files use seq_lseek for their fops. However seq_open() is called only for FMODE_READ in the fops->open() so that if an user tries to seek one of those file when she open it for writing, it sees NULL seq_file and then panic. It can be easily reproduced with following command: $ cd /sys/kernel/debug/tracing $ echo 1234 | sudo tee -a set_ftrace_pid In this example, GNU coreutils' tee opens the file with fopen(, "a") and then the fopen() internally calls lseek().

usermodehelper: check subprocess_info->path != NULL

2013-05-19T17:54:50Z

commit 264b83c07a84223f0efd0d1db9ccc66d6f88288f upstream. argv_split(empty_or_all_spaces) happily succeeds, it simply returns argc == 0 and argv[0] == NULL. Change call_usermodehelper_exec() to check sub_info->path != NULL to avoid the crash. This is the minimal fix, todo: - perhaps we should change argv_split() to return NULL or change the callers. - kill or justify ->path[0] check - narrow the scope of helper_lock() Signed-off-by: Oleg Nesterov Acked-By: Lucas De Marchi Signed-off-by: Linus Torvalds Signed-off-by: Greg Kroah-Hartman

tracing: Fix leaks of filter preds

commit 60705c89460fdc7227f2d153b68b3f34814738a4 upstream. Special preds are created when folding a series of preds that can be done in serial. These are allocated in an ops field of the pred structure. But they were never freed, causing memory leaks.

tick: Cleanup NOHZ per cpu data on cpu down

2013-05-19T17:54:40Z

commit 4b0c0f294f60abcdd20994a8341a95c8ac5eeb96 upstream. Prarit reported a crash on CPU offline/online. The reason is that on CPU down the NOHZ related per cpu data of the dead cpu is not cleaned up. If at cpu online an interrupt happens before the per cpu tick device is registered the irq_enter() check potentially sees stale data and dereferences a NULL pointer. Cleanup the data after the cpu is dead.
