2020-02-21bootconfig: Add append value operator supportMasami Hiramatsu1-1/+9
Add append value operator "+=" support to bootconfig syntax. With this operator, user can add new value to the key as an entry of array instead of overwriting. For example, foo = bar ... foo += baz Then the key "foo" has "bar" and "baz" values as an array.

2020-02-21bootconfig: Prohibit re-defining value on same keyMasami Hiramatsu1-1/+10
Currently, bootconfig adds a new value on the existing key to the tail of an array. But this looks a bit confusing because an admin can easily rewrite the original value in the same config file. This rejects the following value re-definition. key = value1 ... key = value2 You should rewrite value1 to value2 in this case.

2020-02-20torture: Allow disabling of boottime CPU-hotplug torture operationsPaul E. McKenney1-0/+4
In theory, RCU-hotplug operations are supposed to work as soon as there is more than one CPU online. However, in practice, in normal production there is no way to make them happen until userspace is up and running. Besides which, on smaller systems, rcutorture doesn't start doing hotplug operations until 30 seconds after the start of boot, which on most systems also means the better part of 30 seconds after the end of boot. This commit therefore provides a new torture.disable_onoff_at_boot kernel boot parameter that suppresses CPU-hotplug torture operations until about the time that init is spawned. Of course, if you know of a need for boottime CPU-hotplug operations, then you should avoid passing this argument to any of the torture tests. You might also want to look at the splats linked to below. Link: https://lore.kernel.org/lkml/20191206185208.GA25636@paulmck-ThinkPad-P72/ Signed-off-by: Paul E. McKenney <paulmck@kernel.org>
2020-02-20rcutorture: Allow boottime stall warnings to be suppressedPaul E. McKenney1-0/+6
In normal production, an RCU CPU stall warning at boottime is often just as bad as at any other time. In fact, given the desire for fast boot, any sort of long-term stall at boot is a bad idea. However, heavy rcutorture testing on large hyperthreaded systems can generate boottime RCU CPU stalls as a matter of course. This commit therefore provides a kernel boot parameter that suppresses reporting of boottime RCU CPU stall warnings and similarly of rcutorture writer stalls. Signed-off-by: Paul E. McKenney <paulmck@kernel.org>
2020-02-20rcu: React to callback overload by aggressively seeking quiescent statesPaul E. McKenney1-0/+9
In default configutions, RCU currently waits at least 100 milliseconds before asking cond_resched() and/or resched_rcu() for help seeking quiescent states to end a grace period. But 100 milliseconds can be one good long time during an RCU callback flood, for example, as can happen when user processes repeatedly open and close files in a tight loop. These 100-millisecond gaps in successive grace periods during a callback flood can result in excessive numbers of callbacks piling up, unnecessarily increasing memory footprint. This commit therefore asks cond_resched() and/or resched_rcu() for help as early as the first FQS scan when at least one of the CPUs has more than 20,000 callbacks queued, a number that can be changed using the new rcutree.qovld kernel boot parameter. An auxiliary qovld_calc variable is used to avoid acquisition of locks that have not yet been initialized. Early tests indicate that this reduces the RCU-callback memory footprint during rcutorture floods by from 50% to 4x, depending on configuration.

2020-02-20bootconfig: Add bootconfig magic word for indicating bootconfig explicitlyMasami Hiramatsu1-3/+7
Add bootconfig magic word to the end of bootconfig on initrd image for indicating explicitly the bootconfig is there. Also tools/bootconfig treats wrong size or wrong checksum or parse error as an error, because if there is a bootconfig magic word, there must be a bootconfig. The bootconfig magic word is "#BOOTCONFIG\n", 12 bytes word. Thus the block image of the initrd file with bootconfig is as follows. [Initrd][bootconfig][size][csum][#BOOTCONFIG\n] Link: http://lkml.kernel.org/r/158220112263.26565.3944814205960612841.stgit@devnote2 Suggested-by: Steven Rostedt <rostedt@goodmis.org> Signed-off-by: Masami Hiramatsu <mhiramat@kernel.org> Signed-off-by: Steven Rostedt (VMware) <rostedt@goodmis.org>
2020-02-20x86/split_lock: Enable split lock detection by kernelPeter Zijlstra (Intel)1-0/+22
A split-lock occurs when an atomic instruction operates on data that spans two cache lines. In order to maintain atomicity the core takes a global bus lock. This is typically >1000 cycles slower than an atomic operation within a cache line. It also disrupts performance on other cores (which must wait for the bus lock to be released before their memory operations can complete). For real-time systems this may mean missing deadlines. For other systems it may just be very annoying. Some CPUs have the capability to raise an #AC trap when a split lock is attempted. Provide a command line option to give the user choices on how to handle this: split_lock_detect= off - not enabled (no traps for split locks) warn - warn once when an application does a split lock, but allow it to continue running. fatal - Send SIGBUS to applications that cause split lock On systems that support split lock detection the default is "warn". Note that if the kernel hits a split lock in any mode other than "off" it will OOPs. One implementation wrinkle is that the MSR to control the split lock detection is per-core, not per thread. This might result in some short lived races on HT systems in "warn" mode if Linux tries to enable on one thread while disabling on the other. Race analysis by Sean Christopherson: - Toggling of split-lock is only done in "warn" mode. Worst case scenario of a race is that a misbehaving task will generate multiple #AC exceptions on the same instruction. And this race will only occur if both siblings are running tasks that generate split-lock #ACs, e.g. a race where sibling threads are writing different values will only occur if CPUx is disabling split-lock after an #AC and CPUy is re-enabling split-lock after *its* previous task generated an #AC. - Transitioning between off/warn/fatal modes at runtime isn't supported and disabling is tracked per task, so hardware will always reach a steady state that matches the configured mode. I.e. split-lock is guaranteed to be enabled in hardware once all _TIF_SLD threads have been scheduled out.

2020-02-12dynamic_debug: allow to work if debugfs is disabledGreg Kroah-Hartman1-0/+3
With the realization that having debugfs enabled on "production" systems is generally not a good idea, debugfs is being disabled from more and more platforms over time. However, the functionality of dynamic debugging still is needed at times, and since it relies on debugfs for its user api, having debugfs disabled also forces dynamic debug to be disabled. To get around this, also create the "control" file for dynamic_debug in procfs. This allows people turn on debugging as needed at runtime for individual driverfs and subsystems.

2020-02-10Documentation,selinux: deprecate setting checkreqprot to 1Stephen Smalley1-0/+1
Deprecate setting the SELinux checkreqprot tunable to 1 via kernel parameter or /sys/fs/selinux/checkreqprot. Setting it to 0 is left intact for compatibility since Android and some Linux distributions do so for security and treat an inability to set it as a fatal error. Eventually setting it to 0 will become a no-op and the kernel will stop using checkreqprot's value internally altogether. checkreqprot was originally introduced as a compatibility mechanism for legacy userspace and the READ_IMPLIES_EXEC personality flag. However, if set to 1, it weakens security by allowing mappings to be made executable without authorization by policy. The default value for the SECURITY_SELINUX_CHECKREQPROT_VALUE config option was changed from 1 to 0 in commit 2a35d196c160e3 ("selinux: change CONFIG_SECURITY_SELINUX_CHECKREQPROT_VALUE default") and both Android and Linux distributions began explicitly setting /sys/fs/selinux/checkreqprot to 0 some time ago.

2020-02-05bootconfig: Only load bootconfig if "bootconfig" is on the kernel cmdlineSteven Rostedt (VMware)2-0/+8
As the bootconfig is appended to the initrd it is not as easy to modify as the kernel command line. If there's some issue with the kernel, and the developer wants to boot a pristine kernel, it should not be needed to modify the initrd to remove the bootconfig for a single boot. As bootconfig is silently added (if the admin does not know where to look they may not know it's being loaded). It should be explicitly added to the kernel cmdline. The loading of the bootconfig is only done if "bootconfig" is on the kernel command line. This will let admins know that the kernel command line is extended. Note, after adding printk()s for when the size is too great or the checksum is wrong, exposed that the current method always looked for the boot config, and if this size and checksum matched, it would parse it (as if either is wrong a printk has been added to show this). It's better to only check this if the boot config is asked to be looked for.

2020-02-03intel_idle: Introduce 'states_off' module parameterRafael J. Wysocki1-1/+18
In certain system configurations it may not be desirable to use some C-states assumed to be available by intel_idle and the driver needs to be prevented from using them even before the cpuidle sysfs interface becomes accessible to user space. Currently, the only way to achieve that is by setting the 'max_cstate' module parameter to a value lower than the index of the shallowest of the C-states in question, but that may be overly intrusive, because it effectively makes all of the idle states deeper than the 'max_cstate' one go away (and the C-state to avoid may be in the middle of the range normally regarded as available). To allow that limitation to be overcome, introduce a new module parameter called 'states_off' to represent a list of idle states to be disabled by default in the form of a bitmask and update the documentation to cover it.

While at it, fix the 'no_acpi' module parameter name in the documentation. Signed-off-by: Rafael J. Wysocki <rafael.j.wysocki@intel.com>

Pull device mapper updates from Mike Snitzer: - Fix DM core's potential for q->make_request_fn NULL pointer in the unlikely case that a DM device is created without a DM table and then accessed due to upper-layer userspace code or user error. - Fix DM thin-provisioning's metadata_pre_commit_callback to not use memory after it is free'd. Also refactor code to disallow changing the thin-pool's data device once in use -- doing so guarantees smae lifetime of pool's data device relative to the pool metadata. - Fix DM space maps used by DM thinp and DM cache to avoid reuse of a already used block. This race was identified with extremely heavy snapshot use in the context of DM thin provisioning. - Fix DM raid's table status relative to an active rebuild. - Fix DM crypt to use GFP_NOIO rather than GFP_NOFS in call to skcipher_request_alloc(). Also fix benbi IV constructor crash if used in authenticated mode. - Add DM crypt support for Elephant diffuser to allow for Bitlocker compatibility. - Fix DM verity target to not prefetch hash blocks for data that has already been verified. - Fix DM writecache's incorrect flush sequence during commit when in SSD mode. - Improve DM writecache's sequential write performance on SSDs. - Add DM zoned target support for zone sizes smaller than 128MiB. - Add DM multipath 'queue_if_no_path_timeout_secs' module param to allow timeout if path isn't reinstated. This allows users a kernel safety-net against IO hanging indefinitely, due to no active paths, that has historically only been provided by multipathd userspace. - Various DM code cleanups to use true/false rather than 1/0, a variable rename in dm-dust, and fix for a math error in comment for DM thin metadata's ondisk format. * tag 'for-5.6/dm-changes' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/device-mapper/linux-dm: (21 commits) dm: fix potential for q->make_request_fn NULL pointer dm writecache: improve performance of large linear writes on SSDs dm mpath: Add timeout mechanism for queue_if_no_path dm thin: change data device's flush_bio to be member of struct pool dm thin: don't allow changing data device during thin-pool reload dm thin: fix use-after-free in metadata_pre_commit_callback dm thin metadata: use pool locking at end of dm_pool_metadata_close dm writecache: fix incorrect flush sequence when doing SSD mode commit dm crypt: fix benbi IV constructor crash if used in authenticated mode dm crypt: Implement Elephant diffuser for Bitlocker compatibility dm space map common: fix to ensure new block isn't already in use dm verity: don't prefetch hash blocks for already-verified data dm crypt: fix GFP flags passed to skcipher_request_alloc() dm thin metadata: Fix trivial math error in on-disk format documentation dm thin metadata: use true/false for bool variable dm snapshot: use true/false for bool variable dm bio prison v2: use true/false for bool variable dm mpath: use true/false for bool variable dm zoned: support zone sizes smaller than 128MiB dm raid: table line rebuild status fixes ...

Pull irq updates from Thomas Gleixner: "The interrupt departement provides: - A mechanism to shield isolated tasks from managed interrupts: The affinity of managed interrupts is completely controlled by the kernel and user space has no influence on them. The reason is that the automatically assigned affinity correlates to the multi-queue CPU handling of block devices. If the generated affinity mask spaws both housekeeping and isolated CPUs the interrupt could be routed to an isolated CPU which would then be disturbed by I/O submitted by a housekeeping CPU. The new mechamism ensures that as long as one housekeeping CPU is online in the assigned affinity mask the interrupt is routed to a housekeeping CPU. If there is no online housekeeping CPU in the affinity mask, then the interrupt is routed to an isolated CPU to keep the device queue intact, but unless the isolated CPU submits I/O by itself these interrupts are not raised. - A small addon to the device tree irqdomain core code to avoid duplication in irq chip drivers - Conversion of the SiFive PLIC to hierarchical domains - The usual pile of new irq chip drivers: SiFive GPIO, Aspeed SCI, NXP INTMUX, Meson A1 GPIO - The first cut of support for the new ARM GICv4.1 - The usual pile of fixes and improvements in core and driver code" * tag 'irq-core-2020-01-28' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/tip/tip: (33 commits) genirq, sched/isolation: Isolate from handling managed interrupts irqchip/gic-v4.1: Allow direct invalidation of VLPIs irqchip/gic-v4.1: Suppress per-VLPI doorbell irqchip/gic-v4.1: Add VPE INVALL callback irqchip/gic-v4.1: Add VPE eviction callback irqchip/gic-v4.1: Add VPE residency callback irqchip/gic-v4.1: Add mask/unmask doorbell callbacks irqchip/gic-v4.1: Plumb skeletal VPE irqchip irqchip/gic-v4.1: Implement the v4.1 flavour of VMOVP irqchip/gic-v4.1: Don't use the VPE proxy if RVPEID is set irqchip/gic-v4.1: Implement the v4.1 flavour of VMAPP irqchip/gic-v4.1: VPE table (aka GICR_VPROPBASER) allocation irqchip/gic-v3: Add GICv4.1 VPEID size discovery irqchip/gic-v3: Detect GICv4.1 supporting RVPEID irqchip/gic-v3-its: Fix get_vlpi_map() breakage with doorbells irqdomain: Fix a memory leak in irq_domain_push_irq() irqchip: Add NXP INTMUX interrupt multiplexer support dt-bindings: interrupt-controller: Add binding for NXP INTMUX interrupt multiplexer irqchip: Define EXYNOS_IRQ_COMBINER irqchip/meson-gpio: Add support for meson a1 SoCs ...

Pull SELinux update from Paul Moore: "This is one of the bigger SELinux pull requests in recent years with 28 patches. Everything is passing our test suite and the highlights are below: - Mark CONFIG_SECURITY_SELINUX_DISABLE as deprecated. We're some time away from actually attempting to remove this in the kernel, but the only distro we know that still uses it (Fedora) is working on moving away from this so we want to at least let people know we are planning to remove it. - Reorder the SELinux hooks to help prevent bad things when SELinux is disabled at runtime. The proper fix is to remove the CONFIG_SECURITY_SELINUX_DISABLE functionality (see above) and just take care of it at boot time (e.g. "selinux=0"). - Add SELinux controls for the kernel lockdown functionality, introducing a new SELinux class/permissions: "lockdown { integrity confidentiality }". - Add a SELinux control for move_mount(2) that reuses the "file { mounton }" permission. - Improvements to the SELinux security label data store lookup functions to speed up translations between our internal label representations and the visible string labels (both directions). - Revisit a previous fix related to SELinux inode auditing and permission caching and do it correctly this time. - Fix the SELinux access decision cache to cleanup properly on error. In some extreme cases this could limit the cache size and result in a decrease in performance. - Enable SELinux per-file labeling for binderfs. - The SELinux initialized and disabled flags were wrapped with accessors to ensure they are accessed correctly. - Mark several key SELinux structures with __randomize_layout. - Changes to the LSM build configuration to only build security/lsm_audit.c when needed. - Changes to the SELinux build configuration to only build the IB object cache when CONFIG_SECURITY_INFINIBAND is enabled. - Move a number of single-caller functions into their callers. - Documentation fixes (/selinux -> /sys/fs/selinux). - A handful of cleanup patches that aren't worth mentioning on their own, the individual descriptions have plenty of detail" * tag 'selinux-pr-20200127' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/pcmoore/selinux: (28 commits) selinux: fix regression introduced by move_mount(2) syscall selinux: do not allocate ancillary buffer on first load selinux: remove redundant allocation and helper functions selinux: remove redundant selinux_nlmsg_perm selinux: fix wrong buffer types in policydb.c selinux: reorder hooks to make runtime disable less broken selinux: treat atomic flags more carefully selinux: make default_noexec read-only after init selinux: move ibpkeys code under CONFIG_SECURITY_INFINIBAND. selinux: remove redundant msg_msg_alloc_security Documentation,selinux: fix references to old selinuxfs mount point selinux: deprecate disabling SELinux and runtime selinux: allow per-file labelling for binderfs selinuxfs: use scnprintf to get real length for inode selinux: remove set but not used variable 'sidtab' selinux: ensure the policy has been loaded before reading the sidtab stats selinux: ensure we cleanup the internal AVC counters on error in avc_update() selinux: randomize layout of key structures selinux: clean up selinux_enabled/disabled/enforcing_boot selinux: remove unnecessary selinux cred request ...
