* audit: audit_log_start running on auditd should not stopToshiyuki Okajima2014-01-13
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | The backlog cannot be consumed when audit_log_start is running on auditd even if audit_log_start calls wait_for_auditd to consume it. The situation is the deadlock because only auditd can consume the backlog. If the other process needs to send the backlog, it can be also stopped by the deadlock. So, audit_log_start running on auditd should not stop. You can see the deadlock with the following reproducer: # auditctl -a exit,always -S all # reboot Signed-off-by: Toshiyuki Okajima <toshi.okajima@jp.fujitsu.com> Reviewed-by: gaofeng@cn.fujitsu.com Signed-off-by: Richard Guy Briggs <rgb@redhat.com> Signed-off-by: Eric Paris <eparis@redhat.com>
* audit: drop audit_cmd_lock in AUDIT_USER family of casesRichard Guy Briggs2014-01-13
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | We do not need to hold the audit_cmd_mutex for this family of cases. The possible exception to this is the call to audit_filter_user(), so drop the lock immediately after. To help in fixing the race we are trying to avoid, make sure that nothing called by audit_filter_user() calls audit_log_start(). In particular, watch out for *_audit_rule_match(). This fix will take care of systemd and anything USING audit. It still means that we could race with something configuring audit and auditd shutting down.

* smack: call WARN_ONCE() instead of calling audit_log_start()Richard Guy Briggs2014-01-13
| | | | | | | | | | Remove the call to audit_log() (which call audit_log_start()) and deal with the errors in the caller, logging only once if the condition is met. Calling audit_log_start() in this location makes buffer allocation and locking more complicated in the calling tree (audit_filter_user()).

* audit: Added exe field to audit core dump signal logPaul Davies C2014-01-13
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Currently when the coredump signals are logged by the audit system, the actual path to the executable is not logged. Without details of exe, the system admin may not have an exact idea on what program failed. This patch changes the audit_log_task() so that the path to the exe is also logged. This was copied from audit_log_task_info() and the latter enhanced to avoid disappearing text fields.

* audit: prevent an older auditd shutdown from orphaning a newer auditd startupRichard Guy Briggs2014-01-13
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | There have been reports of auditd restarts resulting in kaudit not being able to find a newly registered auditd. It results in reports such as: kernel: [ 2077.233573] audit: *NO* daemon at audit_pid=1614 kernel: [ 2077.234712] audit: audit_lost=97 audit_rate_limit=0 audit_backlog_limit=320 kernel: [ 2077.234718] audit: auditd disappeared (previously mis-spelled "dissapeared") One possible cause is a race between the shutdown of an older auditd and a newer one. If the newer one sets the daemon pid to itself in kauditd before the older one has cleared the daemon pid, the newer daemon pid will be erased. This could be caused by an automated system, or by manual intervention, but in either case, there is no use in having the older daemon clear the daemon pid reference since its old pid is no longer being referenced. This patch will prevent that specific case, returning an error of EACCES. The case for preventing a newer auditd from registering itself if there is an existing auditd is a more difficult case that is beyond the scope of this patch.

* audit: drop audit_log_abend()Paul Davies C2014-01-13
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | The audit_log_abend() is used only by the audit_core_dumps(). Thus there is no need of maintaining the audit_log_abend() as a separate function. This patch drops the audit_log_abend() and pushes its functionalities back to the audit_core_dumps(). Apart from that the "reason" field is also dropped from being logged since the reason can be deduced from the signal number.

* audit: add kernel set-up parameter to override default backlog limitRichard Guy Briggs2014-01-13
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | The default audit_backlog_limit is 64. This was a reasonable limit at one time. systemd causes so much audit queue activity on startup that auditd doesn't start before the backlog queue has already overflowed by more than a factor of 2. On a system with audit= not set on the kernel command line, this isn't an issue since that history isn't kept for auditd when it is available. On a system with audit=1 set on the kernel command line, kaudit tries to keep that history until auditd is able to drain the queue. This default can be changed by the "-b" option in audit.rules once the system has booted, but won't help with lost messages on boot. One way to solve this would be to increase the default backlog queue size to avoid losing any messages before auditd is able to consume them. This would be overkill to the embedded community and insufficient for some servers. Another way to solve it might be to add a kconfig option to set the default based on the system type. An embedded system would get the current (or smaller) default, while Workstations might get more than now and servers might get more. None of these solutions helps if a system's compiled default is too small to see the lost messages without compiling a new kernel. This patch adds a kernel set-up parameter (audit already has one to enable/disable it) "audit_backlog_limit=<n>" that overrides the default to allow the system administrator to set the backlog limit.

Otherwise, threads waiting in wait_for_auditd() will simply wake up, discover that the queue is still too long for them to proceed, and go back to sleep. This results in wasted context switches and machine cycles. kauditd_thread() is the only function that removes buffers from audit_skb_queue so we can't race. If we did, the timeout in wait_for_auditd() would expire and the waiting thread would continue.

For example, on ARM there are some symbols which may be linked in relocatable code section, then perf can't parse symbols any more from /proc/kallsyms, this patch fixes the problem (introduced b9b32bf70f2fb710b07c94e13afbc729afe221da) Cc: Russell King <linux@arm.linux.org.uk> Cc: linux-arm-kernel@lists.infradead.org Cc: Michal Marek <mmarek@suse.cz> Signed-off-by: Ming Lei <tom.leiming@gmail.com> Signed-off-by: Rusty Russell <rusty@rustcorp.com.au> Cc: stable@vger.kernel.org
| * | | ARC: Incorrect mm reference used in vmalloc fault handlerVineet Gupta2013-11-02

ARC vmalloc fault handler however was using mm. A vmalloc fault for non user task context (actually pre-userland, from init thread's open for /dev/console) caused the handler to deref NULL mm (for mm->pgd) The reasons it worked so far is amazing: 1. By default (!SMP), vmalloc fault handler uses a cached value of PGD. In SMP that MMU register is repurposed hence need for mm pointer deref. 2. In pre-3.12 SMP kernel, the problem triggering vmalloc didn't exist in pre-userland code path - it was introduced with commit 20bafb3d23d108bc "n_tty: Move buffers into n_tty_data" Signed-off-by: Vineet Gupta <vgupta@synopsys.com> Cc: Gilad Ben-Yossef <gilad@benyossef.com> Cc: Noam Camus <noamc@ezchip.com> Cc: stable@vger.kernel.org #3.10 and 3.11 Cc: Peter Hurley <peter@hurleysoftware.com> Signed-off-by: Linus Torvalds <torvalds@linux-foundation.org>

What triggered it is that my WSM-EP is broken :-( [ 0.001000] tsc: Fast TSC calibration using PIT [ 0.002000] tsc: Detected 2533.715 MHz processor [ 0.500180] TSC synchronization [CPU#0 -> CPU#6]: [ 0.505197] Measured 3 cycles TSC warp between CPUs, turning off TSC clock. [ 0.004000] tsc: Marking TSC unstable due to check_tsc_sync_source failed For some reason it consistently detects TSC skew, even though NHM+ should have a single clock domain for 'reasonable' systems. This marks sched_clock_stable=0, which means that we do fancy stuff to try and get a 'sane' clock. Part of this fancy stuff relies on the tick, clearly that's gone when NOHZ=y. So for idle cpus time gets stuck, until it either wakes up or gets kicked by another cpu. While this is perfectly fine for the scheduler -- it only cares about actually running stuff, and when we're running stuff we're obviously not idle. This does somewhat break down for perf which can trigger events just fine on an otherwise idle cpu. So I've got NMIs get get 'measured' as taking ~1ms, which actually don't last nearly that long: <idle>-0 [013] d.h. 886.311970: rcu_nmi_enter <-do_nmi ... <idle>-0 [013] d.h. 886.311997: perf_sample_event_took: HERE!!! : 1040990 So ftrace (which uses sched_clock(), not the fancy bits) only sees ~27us, but we measure ~1ms !! Now since all this measurement stuff lives in x86 code, we can actually fix it.

So update all the comments and add the missing barrier. When the architecture implements local_t using atomic_long_t there will be double barriers issued; but short of introducing more conditional barrier primitives this is the best we can do.
