Currently, the ebitmap_node structure has a fixed size of 32 bytes. On a 32-bit system, the overhead is 8 bytes, leaving 24 bytes for being used as bitmaps. The overhead ratio is 1/4. On a 64-bit system, the overhead is 16 bytes. Therefore, only 16 bytes are left for bitmap purpose and the overhead ratio is 1/2. With a 3.8.2 kernel, a boot-up operation will cause the ebitmap_get_bit() function to be called about 9 million times. The average number of ebitmap_node traversal is about 3.7. This patch increases the size of the ebitmap_node structure to 64 bytes for 64-bit system to keep the overhead ratio at 1/4. This may also improve performance a little bit by making node to node traversal less frequent (< 2) as more bits are available in each node.

While running the high_systime workload of the AIM7 benchmark on a 2-socket 12-core Westmere x86-64 machine running 3.10-rc4 kernel (with HT on), it was found that a pretty sizable amount of time was spent in the SELinux code. Below was the perf trace of the "perf record -a -s" of a test run at 1500 users: 5.04% ls [kernel.kallsyms] [k] ebitmap_get_bit 1.96% ls [kernel.kallsyms] [k] mls_level_isvalid 1.95% ls [kernel.kallsyms] [k] find_next_bit The ebitmap_get_bit() was the hottest function in the perf-report output. Both the ebitmap_get_bit() and find_next_bit() functions were, in fact, called by mls_level_isvalid(). As a result, the mls_level_isvalid() call consumed 8.95% of the total CPU time of all the 24 virtual CPUs which is quite a lot. The majority of the mls_level_isvalid() function invocations come from the socket creation system call. Looking at the mls_level_isvalid() function, it is checking to see if all the bits set in one of the ebitmap structure are also set in another one as well as the highest set bit is no bigger than the one specified by the given policydb data structure. It is doing it in a bit-by-bit manner. So if the ebitmap structure has many bits set, the iteration loop will be done many times. The current code can be rewritten to use a similar algorithm as the ebitmap_contains() function with an additional check for the highest set bit. The ebitmap_contains() function was extended to cover an optional additional check for the highest set bit, and the mls_level_isvalid() function was modified to call ebitmap_contains(). With that change, the perf trace showed that the used CPU time drop down to just 0.08% (ebitmap_contains + mls_level_isvalid) of the total which is about 100X less than before. 0.07% ls [kernel.kallsyms] [k] ebitmap_contains 0.05% ls [kernel.kallsyms] [k] ebitmap_get_bit 0.01% ls [kernel.kallsyms] [k] mls_level_isvalid 0.01% ls [kernel.kallsyms] [k] find_next_bit The remaining ebitmap_get_bit() and find_next_bit() functions calls are made by other kernel routines as the new mls_level_isvalid() function will not call them anymore. This patch also improves the high_systime AIM7 benchmark result, though the improvement is not as impressive as is suggested by the reduction in CPU time spent in the ebitmap functions. The table below shows the performance change on the 2-socket x86-64 system (with HT on) mentioned above. +--------------+---------------+----------------+-----------------+ | Workload | mean % change | mean % change | mean % change | | | 10-100 users | 200-1000 users | 1100-2000 users | +--------------+---------------+----------------+-----------------+ | high_systime | +0.1% | +0.9% | +2.6% | +--------------+---------------+----------------+-----------------+ Signed-off-by: Waiman Long <Waiman.Long@hp.com> Acked-by: Stephen Smalley <sds@tycho.nsa.gov> Signed-off-by: Paul Moore <pmoore@redhat.com> Signed-off-by: Eric Paris <eparis@redhat.com>

The xfrm_state_alloc_security() LSM hook implementation is really a multiplexed hook with two different behaviors depending on the arguments passed to it by the caller. This patch splits the LSM hook implementation into two new hook implementations, which match the LSM hooks in the rest of the kernel: * xfrm_state_alloc * xfrm_state_alloc_acquire Also included in this patch are the necessary changes to the SELinux code; no other LSMs are affected.

Pull powerpc fixes from Ben Herrenschmidt: "We discovered some breakage in our "EEH" (PCI Error Handling) code while doing error injection, due to a couple of regressions. One of them is due to a patch (37f02195 "powerpc/pci: fix PCI-e devices rescan issue on powerpc platform") that, in hindsight, I shouldn't have merged considering that it caused more problems than it solved. Please pull those two fixes. One for a simple EEH address cache initialization issue. The other one is a patch from Guenter that I had originally planned to put in 3.11 but which happens to also fix that other regression (a kernel oops during EEH error handling and possibly hotplug). With those two, the couple of test machines I've hammered with error injection are remaining up now. EEH appears to still fail to recover on some devices, so there is another problem that Gavin is looking into but at least it's no longer crashing the kernel." * 'merge' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/benh/powerpc: powerpc/pci: Improve device hotplug initialization powerpc/eeh: Add eeh_dev to the cache during boot

Due to recent changes and expecations of proper cpu bindings, there are now cases for many of the in-tree devicetrees where a WARN() will hit on boot due to badly formatted /cpus nodes. Downgrade this to a pr_warn() to be less alarmist, since it's not a new problem. Tested on Arndale, Cubox, Seaboard and Panda ES. Panda hits the WARN without this, the others do not.

Commit 37f02195 (powerpc/pci: fix PCI-e devices rescan issue on powerpc platform) fixes a problem with interrupt and DMA initialization on hot plugged devices. With this commit, interrupt and DMA initialization for hot plugged devices is handled in the pci device enable function. This approach has a couple of drawbacks. First, it creates two code paths for device initialization, one for hot plugged devices and another for devices known during the initial PCI scan. Second, the initialization code for hot plugged devices is only called when the device is enabled, ie typically in the probe function. Also, the platform specific setup code is called each time pci_enable_device() is called, not only once during device discovery, meaning it is actually called multiple times, once for devices discovered during the initial scan and again each time a driver is re-loaded. The visible result is that interrupt pins are only assigned to hot plugged devices when the device driver is loaded. Effectively this changes the PCI probe API, since pci_dev->irq and the device's dma configuration will now only be valid after pci_enable() was called at least once. A more subtle change is that platform specific PCI device setup is moved from device discovery into the driver's probe function, more specifically into the pci_enable_device() call. To fix the inconsistencies, add new function pcibios_add_device. Call pcibios_setup_device from pcibios_setup_bus_devices if device setup is not complete, and from pcibios_add_device if bus setup is complete. With this change, device setup code is moved back into device initialization, and called exactly once for both static and hot plugged devices. [ This also fixes a regression introduced by the above patch which causes dev->irq to be overwritten under some cirumstances after MSIs have been enabled for the device which leads to crashes due to the MSI core "hijacking" dev->irq to store the base MSI number and not the LSI. --BenH ] Cc: Yuanquan Chen <Yuanquan.Chen@freescale.com> Cc: Benjamin Herrenschmidt <benh@kernel.crashing.org> Cc: Hiroo Matsumoto <matsumoto.hiroo@jp.fujitsu.com> Signed-off-by: Guenter Roeck <linux@roeck-us.net> Signed-off-by: Benjamin Herrenschmidt <benh@kernel.crashing.org>

This __put_user() could be used by unprivileged processes to write into kernel memory. The issue here is that even if copy_siginfo_to_user() fails, the error code is not checked before __put_user() is executed. Luckily, ptrace_peek_siginfo() has been added within the 3.10-rc cycle, so it has not hit a stable release yet.

Al Viro pointed me to the fact that '->readdir()' and '->llseek()' have no mutual exclusion, which means the 'ubifs_dir_llseek()' can be run while we are in the middle of 'ubifs_readdir()'. This means that 'file->private_data' can be freed while 'ubifs_readdir()' uses it, and this is a very bad bug: not only 'ubifs_readdir()' can return garbage, but this may corrupt memory and lead to all kinds of problems like crashes an security holes. This patch fixes the problem by using the 'file->f_version' field, which '->llseek()' always unconditionally sets to zero. We set it to 1 in 'ubifs_readdir()' and whenever we detect that it became 0, we know there was a seek and it is time to clear the state saved in 'file->private_data'. I tested this patch by writing a user-space program which runds readdir and seek in parallell. I could easily crash the kernel without these patches, but could not crash it with these patches.

Al Viro pointed me to the fact that '->readdir()' and '->llseek()' have no mutual exclusion, which means the 'ubifs_dir_llseek()' can be run while we are in the middle of 'ubifs_readdir()'. First of all, this means that 'file->private_data' can be freed while 'ubifs_readdir()' uses it. But this particular patch does not fix the problem. This patch is only a preparation, and the fix will follow next. In this patch we make 'ubifs_readdir()' stop using 'file->f_pos' directly, because 'file->f_pos' can be changed by '->llseek()' at any point. This may lead 'ubifs_readdir()' to returning inconsistent data: directory entry names may correspond to incorrect file positions. So here we introduce a local variable 'pos', read 'file->f_pose' once at very the beginning, and then stick to 'pos'. The result of this is that when 'ubifs_dir_llseek()' changes 'file->f_pos' while we are in the middle of 'ubifs_readdir()', the latter "wins".

This fixes the problem that "init=" options may not be passed to kernel correctly. parse_mem_cmdline() of mn10300 arch gets rid of "mem=" string from redboot_command_line. Then init_setup() parses the "init=" options from static_command_line, which is a copy of redboot_command_line, and keeps the pointer to the init options in execute_command variable. Since the commit 026cee00 upstream (params: <level>_initcall-like kernel parameters), static_command_line becomes overwritten by saved_command_line at do_initcall_level(). Notice that saved_command_line is a command line which includes "mem=" string. As a result, execute_command may point to weird string by the length of "mem=" parameter. I noticed this problem when using the command line like this: mem=128M console=ttyS0,115200 init=/bin/sh Here is the processing flow of command line parameters. start_kernel() setup_arch(&command_line) parse_mem_cmdline(cmdline_p) * strcpy(boot_command_line, redboot_command_line); * Remove "mem=xxx" from redboot_command_line. * *cmdline_p = redboot_command_line; setup_command_line(command_line) <-- command_line is redboot_command_line * strcpy(saved_command_line, boot_command_line) * strcpy(static_command_line, command_line) parse_early_param() strlcpy(tmp_cmdline, boot_command_line, COMMAND_LINE_SIZE); parse_early_options(tmp_cmdline); parse_args("early options", cmdline, NULL, 0, 0, 0, do_early_param); parse_args("Booting ..", static_command_line, ...); init_setup() <-- save the pointer in execute_command rest_init() kernel_thread(kernel_init, NULL, CLONE_FS | CLONE_SIGHAND); At this point, execute_command points to "/bin/sh" string. kernel_init() kernel_init_freeable() do_basic_setup() do_initcalls() do_initcall_level() (*) strcpy(static_command_line, saved_command_line); Here, execute_command gets to point to "200" string !!

commit f8f7d63f ("powerpc/eeh: Trace eeh device from I/O cache") broke EEH on pseries for devices that were present during boot and have not been hotplugged/DLPARed. eeh_check_failure will get the eeh_dev from the cache, and will get NULL. eeh_addr_cache_build adds the addresses to the cache, but eeh_dev for the giving pci_device is not set yet. Just reordering the call to eeh_addr_cache_insert_dev works fine. The ordering is similar to the one in eeh_add_device_late.

Sending the right snapshot context with each write is required for snapshots to work. Due to the ordering of calls, the snapshot context is never set for any requests. This causes writes to the current version of the image to be reflected in all snapshots, which are supposed to be read-only. This happens because rbd_osd_req_format_write() sets the snapshot context based on obj_request->img_request. At this point, however, obj_request->img_request has not been set yet, to the snapshot context is set to NULL. Fix this by moving rbd_img_obj_request_add(), which sets obj_request->img_request, before the osd request formatting calls.

Pull networking fixes from David Miller: 1) Found via trinity: If you connect up an ipv6 socket to an ipv4 mapped address then an ipv6 one, sendmsg() can croak because ip6_sk_dst_check() assumes the route cached in the socket is an ipv6 one. In this case there is an ipv4 route attached, so it gets stomped on. Reported by Dave Jones and Hannes Frederic Sowa, fixed by Eric Dumazet. 2) AF_KEY notifications leak some kernel memory to userspace, fix from Mathias Krause. 3) DLCI calls __dev_get_by_name() without proper locking, and dlci_del doesn't validate that the device being deleted is actually a DLCI one. Fixes from Li Zefan. 4) Length check on bluetooth l2cap information responses is wrong, each response type has a different lenth, so we should make sure it's in a given range rather than enforce one single valid length. From Jaganath Kanakkassery. 5) Receive FIFO overflow is really easy to trigger in stress scenerios in the sh_eth driver, but the event isn't being handled properly at all. Specifically, the mask of error interrupts doesn't include the event so we never clear it, resulting in the driver becomming wedged processing an interrupt that never gets cleared. Fix from Sergei Shtylyov. 6) qlcnic sleeps while holding a spinlock, use mdelay() instead of msleep(). From Shahed Shaikh. 7) Missing curly braces causes SIP netfilter NAT module to always drop packets. Fix from Balazs Peter Odor. 8) ipt_ULOG in netfilter passes the wrong value to timer setup, causing the timer to dereference crap when it fires. Fix from Gao Feng. 9) Missing RCU protection around txq->axq_acq traversal in ath_txq_schedule(). Fix from Felix Fietkau. 10) Idle state transition test in ath9k_htc_config() is reversed, fix from Sujith Manoharan. 11) IPV6 forwarding handles unicast Router Alert packets incorrectly. It tests the wrong option state. Previously opt->ra being non-zero indicated a router alert marking in the SKB, but now it's indicated by a bit in opt->flags. Fix from YOSHIFUJI Hideaki. 12) SKB leak in GRE tunnel GSO handling, from Eric Dumazet. 13) get_user_pages_fast() error handling in TUN and MACVTAP use the same local variable for the base index and the loop iterator for page traversal, oops! Fix from Michael S Tsirkin. 14) ipv6_get_lladdr() can fail, and we must therefore check it's return value in inet6_set_iftoken(). For from Hannes Frederic Sowa. 15) If you change an interface name and meanwhile can sneak in something that looks up the name (like SO_BINDTODEVICE or SIOCGIFNAME) we can deadlock with CONFIG_PREEMPT=n. Fix this by providing a helper function that properly uses raw_seqcount_begin(). From Nicolas Schichan. 16) Chain noise calibration test is inverted in iwlwifi, fix from Nikolay Martynov. 17) Properly set TX iwlwifi descriptor flags for back requests. Fix from Emmanuel Grumbach. 18) We can't assume skb_transport_header() is set in xt_TCPOPTSTRAP module, fix from Pablo Neira Ayuso. 19) Some crummy APs don't provide the proper High Throughput info in association response frames. Add a workaround by assume we'll use whatever is in the beacon/probe. Fix from Johannes Berg. 20) mac80211 call to rate_idx_match_mask() swaps two arguments (mask and channel width). Fix from Simon Wunderlich. 21) xt_TCPMSS (like xt_TCPOPTSTRAP) must not try to handle fragmented frames. Fix from Phil Oester. 22) Fix rate control regression causing iwlwifi/iwlegacy chips to use 1Mbit/s on pre-11n networks. From Moshe Benji and Stanslaw Gruszka. 23) Disable brcmsmac power-save functions, they cause regressions. From Arend van Spriel. 24) Enforce a sane minimum MTU in l2cap_build_cmd() otherwise we can easily crash. Fix from Anderson Lizardo. 25) If a learning packet arrives during vxlan_stop() we crash, easily fixed by checking netif_running(). From Stephen Hemminger. 26) Static vxlan FDB entries should not be migrated, also from Stephen. 27) skb_clone() failures not handled in vxlan_xmit(), oops.

Pull i915 drm fixes from Dave Airlie: "These should be the last two fixes for i915, one is for a fence leak killing X on some older GPUs, and one is a late regression partial revert for an swiotlb/xen/i915 interaction, Konrad has promised to figure out the proper answer, and this patch is the best thing to do at this stage to avoid regressing" * 'drm-fixes' of git://people.freedesktop.org/~airlied/linux: drm/i915: make compact dma scatter lists creation work with SWIOTLB backend. drm/i915: Restore fences after resume and GPU resets

key_notify_sa_flush() and key_notify_policy_flush() miss to initialize the sadb_msg_reserved member of the broadcasted message and thereby leak 2 bytes of heap memory to listeners. Fix that.

It's possible to use AF_INET6 sockets and to connect to an IPv4 destination. After this, socket dst cache is a pointer to a rtable, not rt6_info. ip6_sk_dst_check() should check the socket dst cache is IPv6, or else various corruptions/crashes can happen.
