As reported in BZ #30352: https://bugzilla.kernel.org/show_bug.cgi?id=30352 there's a kernel bug related to reading the last allowed page on x86_64. The _copy_to_user() and _copy_from_user() functions use the following check for address limit: if (buf + size >= limit) fail(); while it should be more permissive: if (buf + size > limit) fail(); That's because the size represents the number of bytes being read/write from/to buf address AND including the buf address. So the copy function will actually never touch the limit address even if "buf + size == limit". Following program fails to use the last page as buffer due to the wrong limit check: #include <sys/mman.h> #include <sys/socket.h> #include <assert.h> #define PAGE_SIZE (4096) #define LAST_PAGE ((void*)(0x7fffffffe000)) int main() { int fds[2], err; void * ptr = mmap(LAST_PAGE, PAGE_SIZE, PROT_READ | PROT_WRITE, MAP_ANONYMOUS | MAP_PRIVATE | MAP_FIXED, -1, 0); assert(ptr == LAST_PAGE); err = socketpair(AF_LOCAL, SOCK_STREAM, 0, fds); assert(err == 0); err = send(fds[0], ptr, PAGE_SIZE, 0); perror("send"); assert(err == PAGE_SIZE); err = recv(fds[1], ptr, PAGE_SIZE, MSG_WAITALL); perror("recv"); assert(err == PAGE_SIZE); return 0; } The other place checking the addr limit is the access_ok() function, which is working properly. There's just a misleading comment for the __range_not_ok() macro - which this patch fixes as well. The last page of the user-space address range is a guard page and Brian Gerst observed that the guard page itself due to an erratum on K8 cpus (#121 Sequential Execution Across Non-Canonical Boundary Causes Processor Hang). However, the test code is using the last valid page before the guard page. The bug is that the last byte before the guard page can't be read because of the off-by-one error. The guard page is left in place. This bug would normally not show up because the last page is part of the process stack and never accessed via syscalls.

The section called .discard.text has tracing attached to it and is currently ignored by ftrace. But it does include a call to the mcount stub.

When mcount is called in a section that ftrace will not modify it into a nop, we want to warn about this. But not warn about this always. Now if the user builds the kernel with the option RECORDMCOUNT_WARN=1 then the build will warn about mcount callers that are ignored and will just waste execution time.

There's some sections that should not have mcount recorded and should not have modifications to the that code. But currently they waste some time by calling mcount anyway (which simply returns). As the real answer should be to either whitelist the section or have gcc ignore it fully. This change adds a option to recordmcount to warn when it finds a section that is ignored by ftrace but still contains mcount callers. This is not on by default as developers may not know if the section should be completely ignored or added to the whitelist.

There are sections that are ignored by ftrace for the function tracing because the text is in a section that can be removed without notice. The mcount calls in these sections are ignored and ftrace never sees them. The downside of this is that the functions in these sections still call mcount. Although the mcount function is defined in assembly simply as a return, this added overhead is unnecessary. The solution is to convert these callers into nops at compile time. A better solution is to add 'notrace' to the section markers, but as new sections come up all the time, it would be nice that they are delt with when they are created. Later patches will deal with finding these sections and doing the proper solution. Thanks to H. Peter Anvin for giving me the right nops to use for x86. Cc: "H.

Linux kernel excludes guard page when performing mlock on a VMA with down-growing stack. However, some architectures have up-growing stack and locking the guard page should be excluded in this case too. This patch fixes lvm2 on PA-RISC (and possibly other architectures with up-growing stack). lvm2 calculates number of used pages when locking and when unlocking and reports an internal error if the numbers mismatch. [ Patch changed fairly extensively to also fix /proc/<pid>/maps for the grows-up case, and to move things around a bit to clean it all up and share the infrstructure with the /proc bits.
