2019-04-18ipv6: Add rate limit mask for ICMPv6 messagesStephen Suryaputra1-1/+16
To make ICMPv6 closer to ICMPv4, add ratemask parameter. Since the ICMP message types use larger numeric values, a simple bitmask doesn't fit. I use large bitmap. The input and output are the in form of list of ranges. Set the default to rate limit all error messages but Packet Too Big. For Packet Too Big, use ratemask instead of hard-coded. There are functions where icmpv6_xrlim_allow() and icmpv6_global_allow() aren't called. This patch only adds them to icmpv6_echo_reply(). Rate limiting error messages is mandated by RFC 4443 but RFC 4890 says that it is also acceptable to rate limit informational messages. Thus, I removed the current hard-coded behavior of icmpv6_mask_allow() that doesn't rate limit informational messages. v2: Add dummy function proc_do_large_bitmap() if CONFIG_PROC_SYSCTL isn't defined, expand the description in ip-sysctl.txt and remove unnecessary conditional before kfree(). v3: Inline the bitmap instead of dynamically allocated. Still is a pointer to it is needed because of the way proc_do_large_bitmap work. Signed-off-by: Stephen Suryaputra <ssuryaextr@gmail.com> Signed-off-by: David S. Miller <davem@davemloft.net>

Daniel Borkmann says: ==================== pull-request: bpf-next 2019-04-12 The following pull-request contains BPF updates for your *net-next* tree. The main changes are: 1) Improve BPF verifier scalability for large programs through two optimizations: i) remove verifier states that are not useful in pruning, ii) stop walking parentage chain once first LIVE_READ is seen. Combined gives approx 20x speedup. Increase limits for accepting large programs under root, and add various stress tests, from Alexei. 2) Implement global data support in BPF. This enables static global variables for .data, .rodata and .bss sections to be properly handled which allows for more natural program development. This also opens up the possibility to optimize program workflow by compiling ELFs only once and later only rewriting section data before reload, from Daniel and with test cases and libbpf refactoring from Joe. 3) Add config option to generate BTF type info for vmlinux as part of the kernel build process. DWARF debug info is converted via pahole to BTF. Latter relies on libbpf and makes use of BTF deduplication algorithm which results in 100x savings compared to DWARF data. Resulting .BTF section is typically about 2MB in size, from Andrii. 4) Add BPF verifier support for stack access with variable offset from helpers and add various test cases along with it, from Andrey. 5) Extend bpf_skb_adjust_room() growth BPF helper to mark inner MAC header so that L2 encapsulation can be used for tc tunnels, from Alan. 6) Add support for input __sk_buff context in BPF_PROG_TEST_RUN so that users can define a subset of allowed __sk_buff fields that get fed into the test program, from Stanislav. 7) Add bpf fs multi-dimensional array tests for BTF test suite and fix up various UBSAN warnings in bpftool, from Yonghong. 8) Generate a pkg-config file for libbpf, from Luca. 9) Dump program's BTF id in bpftool, from Prashant. 10) libbpf fix to use smaller BPF log buffer size for AF_XDP's XDP program, from Magnus. 11) kallsyms related fixes for the case when symbols are not present in BPF selftests and samples, from Daniel ==================== Signed-off-by: David S.

2019-03-28KVM: doc: Document the life cycle of a VM and its resourcesSean Christopherson1-0/+17
The series to add memcg accounting to KVM allocations[1] states: There are many KVM kernel memory allocations which are tied to the life of the VM process and should be charged to the VM process's cgroup. While it is correct to account KVM kernel allocations to the cgroup of the process that created the VM, it's technically incorrect to state that the KVM kernel memory allocations are tied to the life of the VM process. This is because the VM itself, i.e. struct kvm, is not tied to the life of the process which created it, rather it is tied to the life of its associated file descriptor. In other words, kvm_destroy_vm() is not invoked until fput() decrements its associated file's refcount to zero. A simple example is to fork() in Qemu and have the child sleep indefinitely; kvm_destroy_vm() isn't called until Qemu closes its file descriptor *and* the rogue child is killed. The allocations are guaranteed to be *accounted* to the process which created the VM, but only because KVM's per-{VM,vCPU} ioctls reject the ioctl() with -EIO if kvm->mm != current->mm. I.e. the child can keep the VM "alive" but can't do anything useful with its reference. Note that because 'struct kvm' also holds a reference to the mm_struct of its owner, the above behavior also applies to userspace allocations. Given that mucking with a VM's file descriptor can lead to subtle and undesirable behavior, e.g. memcg charges persisting after a VM is shut down, explicitly document a VM's lifecycle and its impact on the VM's resources. Alternatively, KVM could aggressively free resources when the creating process exits, e.g. via mmu_notifier->release(). However, mmu_notifier isn't guaranteed to be available, and freeing resources when the creator exits is likely to be error prone and fragile as KVM would need to ensure that it only freed resources that are truly out of reach. In practice, the existing behavior shouldn't be problematic as a properly configured system will prevent a child process from being moved out of the appropriate cgroup hierarchy, i.e. prevent hiding the process from the OOM killer, and will prevent an unprivileged user from being able to to hold a reference to struct kvm via another method, e.g. debugfs.

2019-03-28KVM: Reject device ioctls from processes other than the VM's creatorSean Christopherson1-5/+11
KVM's API requires thats ioctls must be issued from the same process that created the VM. In other words, userspace can play games with a VM's file descriptors, e.g. fork(), SCM_RIGHTS, etc..., but only the creator can do anything useful. Explicitly reject device ioctls that are issued by a process other than the VM's creator, and update KVM's API documentation to extend its requirements to device ioctls.

2019-03-28KVM: doc: Fix incorrect word ordering regarding supported use of APIsSean Christopherson1-12/+16
Per Paolo[1], instantiating multiple VMs in a single process is legal; but this conflicts with KVM's API documentation, which states: The only supported use is one virtual machine per process, and one vcpu per thread. However, an earlier section in the documentation states: Only run VM ioctls from the same process (address space) that was used to create the VM. and: Only run vcpu ioctls from the same thread that was used to create the vcpu. This suggests that the conflicting documentation is simply an incorrect ordering of of words, i.e. what's really meant is that a virtual machine can't be shared across multiple processes and a vCPU can't be shared across multiple threads. Tweak the blurb on issuing ioctls to use a more assertive tone, and rewrite the "supported use" sentence to reference said blurb instead of poorly restating it in different terms. Opportunistically add missing punctuation.

2019-03-28KVM: x86: fix handling of role.cr4_pae and rename it to 'gpte_size'Sean Christopherson1-4/+7
The cr4_pae flag is a bit of a misnomer, its purpose is really to track whether the guest PTE that is being shadowed is a 4-byte entry or an 8-byte entry. Prior to supporting nested EPT, the size of the gpte was reflected purely by CR4.PAE. KVM fudged things a bit for direct sptes, but it was mostly harmless since the size of the gpte never mattered. Now that a spte may be tracking an indirect EPT entry, relying on CR4.PAE is wrong and ill-named. For direct shadow pages, force the gpte_size to '1' as they are always 8-byte entries; EPT entries can only be 8-bytes and KVM always uses 8-byte entries for NPT and its identity map (when running with EPT but not unrestricted guest). Likewise, nested EPT entries are always 8-bytes. Nested EPT presents a unique scenario as the size of the entries are not dictated by CR4.PAE, but neither is the shadow page a direct map. To handle this scenario, set cr0_wp=1 and smap_andnot_wp=1, an otherwise impossible combination, to denote a nested EPT shadow page. Use the information to avoid incorrectly zapping an unsync'd indirect page in __kvm_sync_page(). Providing a consistent and accurate gpte_size fixes a bug reported by Vitaly where fast_cr3_switch() always fails when switching from L2 to L1 as kvm_mmu_get_page() would force role.cr4_pae=0 for direct pages, whereas kvm_calc_mmu_role_common() would set it according to CR4.PAE.

2019-03-21ipv4: Allow amount of dirty memory from fib resizing to be controllableDavid Ahern1-0/+5
fib_trie implementation calls synchronize_rcu when a certain amount of pages are dirty from freed entries. The number of pages was determined experimentally in 2009 (commit c3059477fce2d). At the current setting, synchronize_rcu is called often -- 51 times in a second in one test with an average of an 8 msec delay adding a fib entry. The total impact is a lot of slow down modifying the fib. This is seen in the output of 'time' - the difference between real time and sys+user. For example, using 720,022 single path routes and 'ip -batch'[1]: $ time ./ip -batch ipv4/routes-1-hops real 0m14.214s user 0m2.513s sys 0m6.783s So roughly 35% of the actual time to install the routes is from the ip command getting scheduled out, most notably due to synchronize_rcu (this is observed using 'perf sched timehist'). This patch makes the amount of dirty memory configurable between 64k where the synchronize_rcu is called often (small, low end systems that are memory sensitive) to 64M where synchronize_rcu is called rarely during a large FIB change (for high end systems with lots of memory). The default is 512kB which corresponds to the current setting of 128 pages with a 4kB page size. As an example, at 16MB the worst interval shows 4 calls to synchronize_rcu in a second blocking for up to 30 msec in a single instance, and a total of almost 100 msec across the 4 calls in the second. The trade off is allowing FIB entries to consume more memory in a given time window but but with much better fib insertion rates (~30% increase in prefixes/sec). With this patch and net.ipv4.fib_sync_mem set to 16MB, the same batch file runs in: $ time ./ip -batch ipv4/routes-1-hops real 0m9.692s user 0m2.491s sys 0m6.769s So the dead time is reduced to about 1/2 second or <5% of the real time. [1] 'ip' modified to not request ACK messages which improves route insertion times by about 20% Signed-off-by: David Ahern <dsahern@gmail.com> Signed-off-by: David S. Miller <davem@davemloft.net>
