* printk: allow setting DEFAULT_MESSAGE_LEVEL via KconfigMandeep Singh Baines2011-03-22
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | We've been burned by regressions/bugs which we later realized could have been triaged quicker if only we'd paid closer attention to dmesg. To make it easier to audit dmesg, we'd like to make DEFAULT_MESSAGE_LEVEL Kconfig-settable. That way we can set it to KERN_NOTICE and audit any messages <= KERN_WARNING.

* printk: use %pK for /proc/kallsyms and /proc/modulesKees Cook2011-03-22
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | In an effort to reduce kernel address leaks that might be used to help target kernel privilege escalation exploits, this patch uses %pK when displaying addresses in /proc/kallsyms, /proc/modules, and /sys/module/*/sections/*. Note that this changes %x to %p, so some legitimately 0 values in /proc/kallsyms would have changed from 00000000 to "(null)". To avoid this, "(null)" is not used when using the "K" format. Anything that was already successfully parsing "(null)" in addition to full hex digits should have no problem with this change. (Thanks to Joe Perches for the suggestion.) Due to the %x to %p, "void *" casts are needed since these addresses are already "unsigned long" everywhere internally, due to their starting life as ELF section offsets.

* console: prevent registered consoles from dumping old kernel message over againFeng Tang2011-03-22
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | For a platform with many consoles like: "console=tty1 console=ttyMFD2 console=ttyS0 earlyprintk=mrst" Each time when the non "selected_console" (tty1 and ttyMFD2 here) get registered, the existing kernel message will be printed out on registered consoles again, the "mrst" early console will get some same message for 3 times, and "tty1" will get some for twice. As suggested by Andrew Morton, every time a new console is registered, it will be set as the "exclusive" console which will dump the already existing kernel messages.

* console: allow to retain boot console via boot option keep_bootconFabio M. Di Nitto2011-03-22
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | On some architectures, the boot process involves de-registering the boot console (early boot), initialize drivers and then re-register the console. This mechanism introduces a window in which no printk can happen on the console and messages are buffered and then printed once the new console is available. If a kernel crashes during this window, all it's left on the boot console is "console [foo] enabled, bootconsole disabled" making debug of the crash rather 'interesting'. By adding "keep_bootcon" option, do not unregister the boot console, that will allow to printk everything that is happening up to the crash. The option is clearly meant only for debugging purposes as it introduces lots of duplicated info printed on console, but will make bug report from users easier as it doesn't require a kernel build just to figure out where we crash.

* kernel/watchdog.c: always return NOTIFY_OK during cpu up/down eventsDon Zickus2011-03-22
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | This patch addresses a couple of problems. One was the case when the hardlockup failed to start, it also failed to start the softlockup. There were valid cases when the hardlockup shouldn't start and that shouldn't block the softlockup (no lapic, bios controls perf counters). The second problem was when the hardlockup failed to start on boxes (from a no lapic or bios controlled perf counter case), it reported failure to the cpu notifier chain. This blocked the notifier from continuing to start other more critical pieces of cpu bring-up (in our case based on a 2.6.32 fork, it was the mce). As a result, during soft cpu online/offline testing, the system would panic when a cpu was offlined because the cpu notifier would succeed in processing a watchdog disable cpu event and would panic in the mce case as a result of un-initialized variables from a never executed cpu up event. I realized the hardlockup/softlockup cases are really just debugging aids and should never impede the progress of a cpu up/down event. Therefore I modified the code to always return NOTIFY_OK and instead rely on printks to inform the user of problems.

* kernel/watchdog.c: allow hardlockup to panic by defaultDon Zickus2011-03-22
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | When a cpu is considered stuck, instead of limping along and just printing a warning, it is sometimes preferred to just panic, let kdump capture the vmcore and reboot. This gets the machine back into a stable state quickly while saving the info that got it into a stuck state to begin with. Add a Kconfig option to allow users to set the hardlockup to panic by default. Also add in a 'nmi_watchdog=nopanic' to override this.

* sys_unshare: remove the dead CLONE_THREAD/SIGHAND/VM codeOleg Nesterov2011-03-22
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Cleanup: kill the dead code which does nothing but complicates the code and confuses the reader. sys_unshare(CLONE_THREAD/SIGHAND/VM) is not really implemented, and I doubt very much it will ever work. At least, nobody even tried since the original 99d1419d96d7df9cfa56 ("unshare system call -v5: system call handler function") was applied more than 4 years ago. And the code is not consistent. unshare_thread() always fails unconditionally, while unshare_sighand() and unshare_vm() pretend to work if there is nothing to unshare. Remove unshare_thread(), unshare_sighand(), unshare_vm() helpers and related variables and add a simple CLONE_THREAD | CLONE_SIGHAND| CLONE_VM check into check_unshare_flags(). Also, move the "CLONE_NEWNS needs CLONE_FS" check from check_unshare_flags() to sys_unshare(). This looks more consistent and matches the similar do_sysvsem check in sys_unshare(). Note: with or without this patch "atomic_read(mm->mm_users) > 1" can give a false positive due to get_task_mm().

* cgroups: if you list_empty() a head then don't list_del() itPhil Carmody2011-03-22
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | list_del() leaves poison in the prev and next pointers. The next list_empty() will compare those poisons, and say the list isn't empty. Any list operations that assume the node is on a list because of such a check will be fooled into dereferencing poison. One needs to INIT the node after the del, and fortunately there's already a wrapper for that - list_del_init(). Some of the dels are followed by deallocations, so can be ignored, and one can be merged with an add to make a move. Apart from that, I erred on the side of caution in making nodes list_empty()-queriable.

* Prevent rt_sigqueueinfo and rt_tgsigqueueinfo from spoofing the signal codeJulien Tinnes2011-03-21
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Userland should be able to trust the pid and uid of the sender of a signal if the si_code is SI_TKILL. Unfortunately, the kernel has historically allowed sigqueueinfo() to send any si_code at all (as long as it was negative - to distinguish it from kernel-generated signals like SIGILL etc), so it could spoof a SI_TKILL with incorrect siginfo values. Happily, it looks like glibc has always set si_code to the appropriate SI_QUEUE, so there are probably no actual user code that ever uses anything but the appropriate SI_QUEUE flag. So just tighten the check for si_code (we used to allow any negative value), and add a (one-time) warning in case there are binaries out there that might depend on using other si_code values.

These warnings are trivial to kill, yet rather annoying when building with -Wextra. The more we can cut down on pointless crap like this the better (IMHO). A previous patch to do this for a 'allnoconfig' build has already been merged. This just takes the cleanup a little further.

Having cpus clear their bit asynchronously could be useful on a mask of cpus that might have a translation context, or cpus that need a push to complete an rcu window. Instead of adding a BUG_ON and requiring yet another cpumask copy, just detect the race and handle it. Note: arch_send_call_function_ipi_mask must still handle an empty cpumask because the data block is globally visible before the that arch callback is made. And (obviously) there are no guarantees to which cpus are notified if the mask is changed during the call; only cpus that were online and had their mask bit set during the whole call are guaranteed to be called.

First, a barrier that would force the func and info members of data to be visible before their consumption in the interrupt handler was missing. This can be solved by adding a smp_wmb between setting the func and info members and setting setting the cpumask; this will pair with the existing and required smp_rmb ordering the cpumask read before the read of refs. This placement avoids the need a second smp_rmb in the interrupt handler which would be executed on each of the N cpus executing the call request. (I was thinking this barrier was present but was not). Second, the previous write to refs (establishing the zero that we the interrupt handler was testing from all cpus) was performed by a third party cpu. This would invoke transitivity which, as a recient or concurrent addition to memory-barriers.txt now explicitly states, would require a full smp_mb(). However, we know the cpumask will only be set by one cpu (the data owner) and any preivous iteration of the mask would have cleared by the reading cpu. By redundantly writing refs to 0 on the owning cpu before the smp_wmb, the write to refs will follow the same path as the writes that set the cpumask, which in turn allows us to keep the barrier in the interrupt handler a smp_rmb instead of promoting it to a smp_mb (which will be be executed by N cpus for each of the possible M elements on the list). I moved and expanded the comment about our (ab)use of the rcu list primitives for the concurrent walk earlier into this function. I considered moving the first two paragraphs to the queue list head and lock, but felt it would have been too disconected from the code.

Fix this by not setting refs until we have gotten the lock for the list. Take advantage of the wmb in list_add_rcu to save an explicit additional one. I tried to force this race with a udelay before the lock & list_add and by mixing all 64 online cpus with just 3 random cpus in the mask, but was unsuccessful. Still, inspection shows a valid race, and the fix is a extension of the existing protection window in the current code.
