Kconfig: Add option for asm goto w/ tied outputs to workaround clang-13 bug

2022-06-09T08:26:25Z

commit 1aa0e8b144b6474c4914439d232d15bfe883636b upstream. Add a config option to guard (future) usage of asm_volatile_goto() that includes "tied outputs", i.e. "+" constraints that specify both an input and output parameter. clang-13 has a bug[1] that causes compilation of such inline asm to fail, and KVM wants to use a "+m" constraint to implement a uaccess form of CMPXCHG[2]. E.g. the test code fails with :1:29: error: invalid operand in inline asm: '.long (${1:l}) - .' int foo(int *x) { asm goto (".long (%l[bar]) - .\n": "+m"(*x) ::: bar); return *x; bar: return 0; } ^ :1:29: error: unknown token in expression :1:9: note: instantiated into assembly here .long () - . ^ 2 errors generated. on clang-13, but passes on gcc (with appropriate asm goto support). The bug is fixed in clang-14, but won't be backported to clang-13 as the changes are too invasive/risky. gcc also had a similar bug[3], fixed in gcc-11, where gcc failed to account for its behavior of assigning two numbers to tied outputs (one for input, one for output) when evaluating symbolic references.

kthread: Don't allocate kthread_struct for init and umh

2022-06-09T08:25:16Z

commit 343f4c49f2438d8920f1f76fa823ee59b91f02e4 upstream. If kthread_is_per_cpu runs concurrently with free_kthread_struct the kthread_struct that was just freed may be read from. This bug was introduced by commit 40966e316f86 ("kthread: Ensure struct kthread is present for all kthreads"). When kthread_struct started to be allocated for all tasks that have PF_KTHREAD set. This in turn required the kthread_struct to be freed in kernel_execve and violated the assumption that kthread_struct will have the same lifetime as the task. Looking a bit deeper this only applies to callers of kernel_execve which is just the init process and the user mode helper processes. These processes really don't want to be kernel threads but are for historical reasons. Mostly that copy_thread does not know how to take a kernel mode function to the process with for processes without PF_KTHREAD or PF_IO_WORKER set. Solve this by not allocating kthread_struct for the init process and the user mode helper processes. This is done by adding a kthread member to struct kernel_clone_args. Setting kthread in fork_idle and kernel_thread. Adding user_mode_thread that works like kernel_thread except it does not set kthread. In fork only allocating the kthread_struct if .kthread is set. I have looked at kernel/kthread.c and since commit 40966e316f86 ("kthread: Ensure struct kthread is present for all kthreads") there have been no assumptions added that to_kthread or __to_kthread will not return NULL. There are a few callers of to_kthread or __to_kthread that assume a non-NULL struct kthread pointer will be returned. These functions are kthread_data(), kthread_parmme(), kthread_exit(), kthread(), kthread_park(), kthread_unpark(), kthread_stop(). All of those functions can reasonably expected to be called when it is know that a task is a kthread so that assumption seems reasonable.

random: handle latent entropy and command line from random_init()

2022-05-30T07:27:17Z

commit 2f14062bb14b0fcfcc21e6dc7d5b5c0d25966164 upstream. Currently, start_kernel() adds latent entropy and the command line to the entropy bool *after* the RNG has been initialized, deferring when it's actually used by things like stack canaries until the next time the pool is seeded. This surely is not intended. Rather than splitting up which entropy gets added where and when between start_kernel() and random_init(), just do everything in random_init(), which should eliminate these kinds of bugs in the future. While we're at it, rename the awkwardly titled "rand_initialize()" to the more standard "random_init()" nomenclature. Reviewed-by: Dominik Brodowski Signed-off-by: Jason A.

init: call time_init() before rand_initialize()

2022-05-30T07:27:13Z

commit fe222a6ca2d53c38433cba5d3be62a39099e708e upstream. Currently time_init() is called after rand_initialize(), but rand_initialize() makes use of the timer on various platforms, and sometimes this timer needs to be initialized by time_init() first. In order for random_get_entropy() to not return zero during early boot when it's potentially used as an entropy source, reverse the order of these two calls. The block doing random initialization was right before time_init() before, so changing the order shouldn't have any complicated effects.

net: initialize init_net earlier

2022-04-13T17:27:12Z

[ Upstream commit 9c1be1935fb68b2413796cdc03d019b8cf35ab51 ] While testing a patch that will follow later ("net: add netns refcount tracker to struct nsproxy") I found that devtmpfs_init() was called before init_net was initialized. This is a bug, because devtmpfs_setup() calls ksys_unshare(CLONE_NEWNS); This has the effect of increasing init_net refcount, which will be later overwritten to 1, as part of setup_net(&init_net) We had too many prior patches [1] trying to work around the root cause. Really, make sure init_net is in BSS section, and that net_ns_init() is called earlier at boot time. Note that another patch ("vfs: add netns refcount tracker to struct fs_context") also will need net_ns_init() being called before vfs_caches_init() As a bonus, this patch saves around 4KB in .data section.

lib/stackdepot: allow optional init and stack_table allocation by kvmalloc()

2022-01-22T06:33:37Z

Currently, enabling CONFIG_STACKDEPOT means its stack_table will be allocated from memblock, even if stack depot ends up not actually used. The default size of stack_table is 4MB on 32-bit, 8MB on 64-bit. This is fine for use-cases such as KASAN which is also a config option and has overhead on its own. But it's an issue for functionality that has to be actually enabled on boot (page_owner) or depends on hardware (GPU drivers) and thus the memory might be wasted. This was raised as an issue [1] when attempting to add stackdepot support for SLUB's debug object tracking functionality. It's common to build kernels with CONFIG_SLUB_DEBUG and enable slub_debug on boot only when needed, or create only specific kmem caches with debugging for testing purposes. It would thus be more efficient if stackdepot's table was allocated only when actually going to be used. This patch thus makes the allocation (and whole stack_depot_init() call) optional: - Add a CONFIG_STACKDEPOT_ALWAYS_INIT flag to keep using the current well-defined point of allocation as part of mem_init(). Make CONFIG_KASAN select this flag. - Other users have to call stack_depot_init() as part of their own init when it's determined that stack depot will actually be used. This may depend on both config and runtime conditions. Convert current users which are page_owner and several in the DRM subsystem. Same will be done for SLUB later. - Because the init might now be called after the boot-time memblock allocation has given all memory to the buddy allocator, change stack_depot_init() to allocate stack_table with kvmalloc() when memblock is no longer available. Also handle allocation failure by disabling stackdepot (could have theoretically happened even with memblock allocation previously), and don't unnecessarily align the memblock allocation to its own size anymore.

Fix this by moving page_ext_init_flatmem_late() below kmem_cache_init() so that slab_is_available() is true during stack_depot_init(). SPARSEMEM doesn't have this issue, as it doesn't do page_ext_init_flatmem_late(), but a different page_ext_init() even later in the boot process. Thanks to Mike Rapoport for pointing out the FLATMEM init ordering issue. While at it, also actually resolve a checkpatch warning in stack_depot_init() from DRM CI, which was supposed to be in the original patch already.
