If the test_printf module is loaded before the crng is initialized, the plain 'p' tests will fail because the printed address will not be hashed and the buffer will contain '(ptrval)' instead. This patch adds a call to wait_for_random_bytes() before plain 'p' tests to make sure the crng is initialized.

Commit e27be240 ("mm: memcg: make sure memory.events is uptodate when waking pollers") converted most of memcg event counters to per-memcg atomics, which made them less confusing for a user. The "oom_kill" counter remained untouched, so now it behaves differently than other counters (including "oom"). This adds nothing but confusion. Let's fix this by adding the MEMCG_OOM_KILL event, and follow the MEMCG_OOM approach. This also removes a hack from count_memcg_event_mm(), introduced earlier specially for the OOM_KILL counter.

KCOV is code coverage collection facility used, in particular, by syzkaller system call fuzzer. There is some interest in using syzkaller on arm devices. So port KCOV to arm. On implementation level this merely declares that KCOV is supported and disables instrumentation of 3 special cases. Reasons for disabling are commented in code.

During a context switch, we first switch_mm() to the next task's mm, then switch_to() that new task. This means that vmalloc'd regions which had previously been faulted in can transiently disappear in the context of the prev task. Functions instrumented by KCOV may try to access a vmalloc'd kcov_area during this window, and as the fault handling code is instrumented, this results in a recursive fault. We must avoid accessing any kcov_area during this window. We can do so with a new flag in kcov_mode, set prior to switching the mm, and cleared once the new task is live. Since task_struct::kcov_mode isn't always a specific enum kcov_mode value, this is made an unsigned int. The manipulation is hidden behind kcov_{prepare,finish}_switch() helpers, which are empty for !CONFIG_KCOV kernels. The code uses macros because I can't use static inline functions without a circular include dependency between <linux/sched.h> and <linux/kcov.h>, since the definition of task_struct uses things defined in <linux/kcov.h> Link: http://lkml.kernel.org/r/20180504135535.53744-4-mark.rutland@arm.comSigned-off-by:Andrey Ryabinin <aryabinin@virtuozzo.com> Cc: Dmitry Vyukov <dvyukov@google.com> Cc: Ingo Molnar <mingo@redhat.com> Cc: Peter Zijlstra <peterz@infradead.org> Signed-off-by:

On many architectures the vmalloc area is lazily faulted in upon first access. This is problematic for KCOV, as __sanitizer_cov_trace_pc accesses the (vmalloc'd) kcov_area, and fault handling code may be instrumented. If an access to kcov_area faults, this will result in mutual recursion through the fault handling code and __sanitizer_cov_trace_pc(), eventually leading to stack corruption and/or overflow. We can avoid this by faulting in the kcov_area before __sanitizer_cov_trace_pc() is permitted to access it. Once it has been faulted in, it will remain present in the process page tables, and will not fault again.

Mark Rutland authored
Patch series "kcov: fix unexpected faults". These patches fix a few issues where KCOV code could trigger recursive faults, discovered while debugging a patch enabling KCOV for arch/arm: * On CONFIG_PREEMPT kernels, there's a small race window where __sanitizer_cov_trace_pc() can see a bogus kcov_area. * Lazy faulting of the vmalloc area can cause mutual recursion between fault handling code and __sanitizer_cov_trace_pc(). * During the context switch, switching the mm can cause the kcov_area to be transiently unmapped. These are prerequisites for enabling KCOV on arm, but the issues themsevles are generic -- we just happen to avoid them by chance rather than design on x86-64 and arm64. This patch (of 3): For kernels built with CONFIG_PREEMPT, some C code may execute before or after the interrupt handler, while the hardirq count is zero. In these cases, in_task() can return true. A task can be interrupted in the middle of a KCOV_DISABLE ioctl while it resets the task's kcov data via kcov_task_init(). Instrumented code executed during this period will call __sanitizer_cov_trace_pc(), and as in_task() returns true, will inspect t->kcov_mode before trying to write to t->kcov_area. In kcov_init_task() we update t->kcov_{mode,area,size} with plain stores, which may be re-ordered, torn, etc. Thus __sanitizer_cov_trace_pc() may see bogus values for any of these fields, and may attempt to write to memory which is not mapped. Let's avoid this by using WRITE_ONCE() to set t->kcov_mode, with a barrier() to ensure this is ordered before we clear t->kov_{area,size}. This ensures that any code execute while kcov_init_task() is preempted will either see valid values for t->kcov_{area,size}, or will see that t->kcov_mode is KCOV_MODE_DISABLED, and bail out without touching t->kcov_area.

On the quest to remove all VLAs from the kernel[1] this adjusts several cases where allocation is made after an array of structures that points back into the allocation. The allocations are changed to perform explicit calculations instead of using a Variable Length Array in a structure.

Commit 5d190420 ("mremap: fix race between mremap() and page cleanning") fixed races between mremap and other operations for both file-backed and anonymous mappings. The file-backed was the most critical as it allowed the possibility that data could be changed on a physical page after page_mkclean returned which could trigger data loss or data integrity issues. A customer reported that the cost of the TLBs for anonymous regressions was excessive and resulting in a 30-50% drop in performance overall since this commit on a microbenchmark. Unfortunately I neither have access to the test-case nor can I describe what it does other than saying that mremap operations dominate heavily. This patch removes the LATENCY_LIMIT to handle TLB flushes on a PMD boundary instead of every 64 pages to reduce the number of TLB shootdowns by a factor of 8 in the ideal case. LATENCY_LIMIT was almost certainly used originally to limit the PTL hold times but the latency savings are likely offset by the cost of IPIs in many cases. This patch is not reported to completely restore performance but gets it within an acceptable percentage. The given metric here is simply described as "higher is better". Baseline that was known good 002: Metric: 91.05 004: Metric: 109.45 008: Metric: 73.08 016: Metric: 58.14 032: Metric: 61.09 064: Metric: 57.76 128: Metric: 55.43 Current 001: Metric: 54.98 002: Metric: 56.56 004: Metric: 41.22 008: Metric: 35.96 016: Metric: 36.45 032: Metric: 35.71 064: Metric: 35.73 128: Metric: 34.96 With patch 001: Metric: 61.43 002: Metric: 81.64 004: Metric: 67.92 008: Metric: 51.67 016: Metric: 50.47 032: Metric: 52.29 064: Metric: 50.01 128: Metric: 49.04 So for low threads, it's not restored but for larger number of threads, it's closer to the "known good" baseline. Using a different mremap-intensive workload that is not representative of the real workload there is little difference observed outside of noise in the headline metrics However, the TLB shootdowns are reduced by 11% on average and at the peak, TLB shootdowns were reduced by 21%. Interrupts were sampled every second while the workload ran to get those figures. It's known that the figures will vary as the non-representative load is non-deterministic. An alternative patch was posted that should have significantly reduced the TLB flushes but unfortunately it does not perform as well as this version on the customer test case. If revisited, the two patches can stack on top of each other. Link: http://lkml.kernel.org/r/20180606183803.k7qaw2xnbvzshv34@techsingularity.netSigned-off-by:
