Kees Cook 8779657d29 stackprotector: Introduce CONFIG_CC_STACKPROTECTOR_STRONG
This changes the stack protector config option into a choice of
"None", "Regular", and "Strong":

   CONFIG_CC_STACKPROTECTOR_NONE
   CONFIG_CC_STACKPROTECTOR_REGULAR
   CONFIG_CC_STACKPROTECTOR_STRONG

"Regular" means the old CONFIG_CC_STACKPROTECTOR=y option.

"Strong" is a new mode introduced by this patch. With "Strong" the
kernel is built with -fstack-protector-strong (available in
gcc 4.9 and later). This option increases the coverage of the stack
protector without the heavy performance hit of -fstack-protector-all.

For reference, the stack protector options available in gcc are:

-fstack-protector-all:
  Adds the stack-canary saving prefix and stack-canary checking
  suffix to _all_ function entry and exit. Results in substantial
  use of stack space for saving the canary for deep stack users
  (e.g. historically xfs), and measurable (though shockingly still
  low) performance hit due to all the saving/checking. Really not
  suitable for sane systems, and was entirely removed as an option
  from the kernel many years ago.

-fstack-protector:
  Adds the canary save/check to functions that define an 8
  (--param=ssp-buffer-size=N, N=8 by default) or more byte local
  char array. Traditionally, stack overflows happened with
  string-based manipulations, so this was a way to find those
  functions. Very few total functions actually get the canary; no
  measurable performance or size overhead.

-fstack-protector-strong
  Adds the canary for a wider set of functions, since it's not
  just those with strings that have ultimately been vulnerable to
  stack-busting. With this superset, more functions end up with a
  canary, but it still remains small compared to all functions
  with only a small change in performance. Based on the original
  design document, a function gets the canary when it contains any
  of:

    - local variable's address used as part of the right hand side
      of an assignment or function argument
    - local variable is an array (or union containing an array),
      regardless of array type or length
    - uses register local variables

  https://docs.google.com/a/google.com/document/d/1xXBH6rRZue4f296vGt9YQcuLVQHeE516stHwt8M9xyU

Find below a comparison of "size" and "objdump" output when built with
gcc-4.9 in three configurations:

  - defconfig
	11430641 kernel text size
	36110 function bodies

  - defconfig + CONFIG_CC_STACKPROTECTOR_REGULAR
	11468490 kernel text size (+0.33%)
	1015 of 36110 functions are stack-protected (2.81%)

  - defconfig + CONFIG_CC_STACKPROTECTOR_STRONG via this patch
	11692790 kernel text size (+2.24%)
	7401 of 36110 functions are stack-protected (20.5%)

With -strong, ARM's compressed boot code now triggers stack
protection, so a static guard was added. Since this is only used
during decompression and was never used before, the exposure
here is very small. Once it switches to the full kernel, the
stack guard is back to normal.

Chrome OS has been using -fstack-protector-strong for its kernel
builds for the last 8 months with no problems.

Frederic Weisbecker cc1f027454 irq: Optimize softirq stack selection in irq exit
If irq_exit() is called on the arch's specified irq stack,
it should be safe to run softirqs inline under that same
irq stack as it is near empty by the time we call irq_exit().

For example if we use the same stack for both hard and soft irqs here,
the worst case scenario is:
hardirq -> softirq -> hardirq. But then the softirq supersedes the
first hardirq as the stack user since irq_exit() is called in
a mostly empty stack. So the stack merge in this case looks acceptable.

Stack overrun still have a chance to happen if hardirqs have more
opportunities to nest, but then it's another problem to solve.

So lets adapt the irq exit's softirq stack on top of a new Kconfig symbol
that can be defined when irq_exit() runs on the irq stack. That way
we can spare some stack switch on irq processing and all the cache
issues that come along.

Kevin Hilman 554b0004d0 vtime: Add HAVE_VIRT_CPU_ACCOUNTING_GEN Kconfig
With VIRT_CPU_ACCOUNTING_GEN, cputime_t becomes 64-bit. In order
to use that feature, arch code should be audited to ensure there are no
races in concurrent read/write of cputime_t. For example,
reading/writing 64-bit cputime_t on some 32-bit arches may require
multiple accesses for low and high value parts, so proper locking
is needed to protect against concurrent accesses.

Therefore, add CONFIG_HAVE_VIRT_CPU_ACCOUNTING_GEN which arches can
enable after they've been audited for potential races.

This option is automatically enabled on 64-bit platforms.

Feature requested by Frederic Weisbecker.

Heiko Carstens 083986e824 mutex: replace CONFIG_HAVE_ARCH_MUTEX_CPU_RELAX with simple ifdef
Linus suggested to replace

 #ifndef CONFIG_HAVE_ARCH_MUTEX_CPU_RELAX
 #define arch_mutex_cpu_relax() cpu_relax()
 #endif

with just a simple

  #ifndef arch_mutex_cpu_relax
  # define arch_mutex_cpu_relax() cpu_relax()
  #endif

to get rid of CONFIG_HAVE_CPU_RELAX_SIMPLE. So architectures can
simply define arch_mutex_cpu_relax if they want an architecture
specific function instead of having to add a select statement in
their Kconfig in addition.

Michal Simek dfa9771a7c microblaze: fix clone syscall
Fix inadvertent breakage in the clone syscall ABI for Microblaze that
was introduced in commit f3268edbe6 ("microblaze: switch to generic
fork/vfork/clone").

The Microblaze syscall ABI for clone takes the parent tid address in the
4th argument; the third argument slot is used for the stack size.  The
incorrectly-used CLONE_BACKWARDS type assigned parent tid to the 3rd
slot.

This commit restores the original ABI so that existing userspace libc
code will work correctly.

All kernel versions from v3.8-rc1 were affected.

Pavel Emelyanov 0f8975ec4d mm: soft-dirty bits for user memory changes tracking
The soft-dirty is a bit on a PTE which helps to track which pages a task
writes to.  In order to do this tracking one should

  1. Clear soft-dirty bits from PTEs ("echo 4 > /proc/PID/clear_refs)
  2. Wait some time.
  3. Read soft-dirty bits (55'th in /proc/PID/pagemap2 entries)

To do this tracking, the writable bit is cleared from PTEs when the
soft-dirty bit is.  Thus, after this, when the task tries to modify a
page at some virtual address the #PF occurs and the kernel sets the
soft-dirty bit on the respective PTE.

Note, that although all the task's address space is marked as r/o after
the soft-dirty bits clear, the #PF-s that occur after that are processed
fast.  This is so, since the pages are still mapped to physical memory,
and thus all the kernel does is finds this fact out and puts back
writable, dirty and soft-dirty bits on the PTE.

Another thing to note, is that when mremap moves PTEs they are marked
with soft-dirty as well, since from the user perspective mremap modifies
the virtual memory at mremap's new address.

Kevin Hilman 485cf5dac2 idle: Fix hlt/nohlt command-line handling in new generic idle
commit d1669912 (idle: Implement generic idle function) added a new
generic idle along with support for hlt/nohlt command line options to
override default idle loop behavior.  However, the command-line
processing is never compiled.

The command-line handling is wrapped by CONFIG_GENERIC_IDLE_POLL_SETUP
and arches that use this feature select it in their Kconfigs.
However, no Kconfig definition was created for this option, so it is
never enabled, and therefore command-line override of the idle-loop
behavior is broken after migrating to the generic idle loop.

To fix, add a Kconfig definition for GENERIC_IDLE_POLL_SETUP.

Tested on ARM (OMAP4/Panda) which enables the command-line overrides
by default.

Rusty Russell b92021b09d CONFIG_SYMBOL_PREFIX: cleanup.
We have CONFIG_SYMBOL_PREFIX, which three archs define to the string
"_".  But Al Viro broke this in "consolidate cond_syscall and
SYSCALL_ALIAS declarations" (in linux-next), and he's not the first to
do so.

Using CONFIG_SYMBOL_PREFIX is awkward, since we usually just want to
prefix it so something.  So various places define helpers which are
defined to nothing if CONFIG_SYMBOL_PREFIX isn't set:

1) include/asm-generic/unistd.h defines __SYMBOL_PREFIX.
2) include/asm-generic/vmlinux.lds.h defines VMLINUX_SYMBOL(sym)
3) include/linux/export.h defines MODULE_SYMBOL_PREFIX.
4) include/linux/kernel.h defines SYMBOL_PREFIX (which differs from #7)
5) kernel/modsign_certificate.S defines ASM_SYMBOL(sym)
6) scripts/modpost.c defines MODULE_SYMBOL_PREFIX
7) scripts/Makefile.lib defines SYMBOL_PREFIX on the commandline if
   CONFIG_SYMBOL_PREFIX is set, so that we have a non-string version
   for pasting.

(arch/h8300/include/asm/linkage.h defines SYMBOL_NAME(), too).

Let's solve this properly:
1) No more generic prefix, just CONFIG_HAVE_UNDERSCORE_SYMBOL_PREFIX.
2) Make linux/export.h usable from asm.
3) Define VMLINUX_SYMBOL() and VMLINUX_SYMBOL_STR().
4) Make everyone use them.

James Hogan c19fa94a8f Add HAVE_64BIT_ALIGNED_ACCESS
On 64 bit architectures with no efficient unaligned access, padding and
explicit alignment must be added in various places to prevent unaligned
64bit accesses (such as taskstats and trace ring buffer).

However this also needs to apply to 32 bit architectures with 64 bit
accesses requiring alignment such as metag.

This is solved by adding a new Kconfig symbol HAVE_64BIT_ALIGNED_ACCESS
which defaults to 64BIT && !HAVE_EFFICIENT_UNALIGNED_ACCESS, and can be
explicitly selected by METAG and any other relevant architectures. This
can be used in various places to determine whether 64bit alignment is
required.

Pull big execve/kernel_thread/fork unification series from Al Viro:
 "All architectures are converted to new model.  Quite a bit of that
  stuff is actually shared with architecture trees; in such cases it's
  literally shared branch pulled by both, not a cherry-pick.

  A lot of ugliness and black magic is gone (-3KLoC total in this one):

   - kernel_thread()/kernel_execve()/sys_execve() redesign.

     We don't do syscalls from kernel anymore for either kernel_thread()
     or kernel_execve():

     kernel_thread() is essentially clone(2) with callback run before we
     return to userland, the callbacks either never return or do
     successful do_execve() before returning.

     kernel_execve() is a wrapper for do_execve() - it doesn't need to
     do transition to user mode anymore.

     As a result kernel_thread() and kernel_execve() are
     arch-independent now - they live in kernel/fork.c and fs/exec.c
     resp.  sys_execve() is also in fs/exec.c and it's completely
     architecture-independent.

   - daemonize() is gone, along with its parts in fs/*.c

   - struct pt_regs * is no longer passed to do_fork/copy_process/
     copy_thread/do_execve/search_binary_handler/->load_binary/do_coredump.

   - sys_fork()/sys_vfork()/sys_clone() unified; some architectures
     still need wrappers (ones with callee-saved registers not saved in
     pt_regs on syscall entry), but the main part of those suckers is in

David Woodhouse cf66bb93e0 byteorder: allow arch to opt to use GCC intrinsics for byteswapping
Since GCC 4.4, there have been __builtin_bswap32() and __builtin_bswap16()
intrinsics. A __builtin_bswap16() came a little later (4.6 for PowerPC,
48 for other platforms).

By using these instead of the inline assembler that most architectures
have in their __arch_swabXX() macros, we let the compiler see what's
actually happening. The resulting code should be at least as good, and
much *better* in the cases where it can be combined with a nearby load
or store, using a load-and-byteswap or store-and-byteswap instruction
(e.g. lwbrx/stwbrx on PowerPC, movbe on Atom).

When GCC is sufficiently recent *and* the architecture opts in to using
the intrinsics by setting CONFIG_ARCH_USE_BUILTIN_BSWAP, they will be
used in preference to the __arch_swabXX() macros. An architecture which
does not set ARCH_USE_BUILTIN_BSWAP will continue to use its own
hand-crafted macros.

Create a new subsystem that probes on kernel boundaries

with two basic initial contexts: user or kernel.

This is an abstraction of some RCU code that use such tracking
to implement its userspace extended quiescent state.

We need to pull this up from RCU into this new level of indirection
because this tracking is also going to be used to implement an "on
demand" generic virtual cputime accounting. A necessary step to
shutdown the tick while still accounting the cputime.

	call schedule_tail
	call the callback left for it by copy_thread(); if it ever
returns, that's because it has just done successful kernel_execve()
	jump to return from syscall
IOW, its only difference from ret_from_fork() is that it does call the
callback.
* such an architecture should also get rid of ret_from_kernel_execve()
and __ARCH_WANT_KERNEL_EXECVE

This is the last part of infrastructure patches in that area - from
that point on work on different architectures can live independently.

Gerald Schaefer 15626062f4 thp, x86: introduce HAVE_ARCH_TRANSPARENT_HUGEPAGE
Cleanup patch in preparation for transparent hugepage support on s390.
Adding new architectures to the TRANSPARENT_HUGEPAGE config option can
make the "depends" line rather ugly, like "depends on (X86 || (S390 &&
64BIT)) && MMU".

This patch adds a HAVE_ARCH_TRANSPARENT_HUGEPAGE instead.  x86 already has
MMU "def_bool y", so the MMU check is superfluous there and
HAVE_ARCH_TRANSPARENT_HUGEPAGE can be selected in arch/x86/Kconfig.

Linus Torvalds 7e92daaefa Merge branch 'perf-core-for-linus' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/tip/tip
Pull perf update from Ingo Molnar:
 "Lots of changes in this cycle as well, with hundreds of commits from
  over 30 contributors.  Most of the activity was on the tooling side.

  Higher level changes:

   - New 'perf kvm' analysis tool, from Xiao Guangrong.

   - New 'perf trace' system-wide tracing tool

   - uprobes fixes + cleanups from Oleg Nesterov.

   - Lots of patches to make perf build on Android out of box, from
     Irina Tirdea

   - Extend ftrace function tracing utility to be more dynamic for its
     users.  It allows for data passing to the callback functions, as
     well as reading regs as if a breakpoint were to trigger at function
     entry.

     The main goal of this patch series was to allow kprobes to use
     ftrace as an optimized probe point when a probe is placed on an
     ftrace nop.  With lots of help from Masami Hiramatsu, and going
     through lots of iterations, we finally came up with a good
     solution.

   - Add cpumask for uncore pmu, use it in 'stat', from Yan, Zheng.

   - Various tracing updates from Steve Rostedt

   - Clean up and improve 'perf sched' performance by elliminating lots
     of needless calls to libtraceevent.

   - Event group parsing support, from Jiri Olsa

   - UI/gtk refactorings and improvements from Namhyung Kim

   - Add support for non-tracepoint events in perf script python, from
     Feng Tang

   - Add --symbols to 'script', similar to the one in 'report', from
     Feng Tang.

  Infrastructure enhancements and fixes:

   - Convert the trace builtins to use the growing evsel/evlist
     tracepoint infrastructure, removing several open coded constructs
     like switch like series of strcmp to dispatch events, etc.
     Basically what had already been showcased in 'perf sched'.

   - Add evsel constructor for tracepoints, that uses libtraceevent just
     to parse the /format events file, use it in a new 'perf test' to
     make sure the libtraceevent format parsing regressions can be more
     readily caught.

   - Some strange errors were happening in some builds, but not on the
     next, reported by several people, problem was some parser related
     files, generated during the build, didn't had proper make deps, fix
     from Eric Sandeen.

   - Introduce struct and cache information about the environment where
     a perf.data file was captured, from Namhyung Kim.

   - Fix handling of unresolved samples when --symbols is used in
     'report', from Feng Tang.

   - Add union member access support to 'probe', from Hyeoncheol Lee.

   - Fixups to die() removal, from Namhyung Kim.

   - Render fixes for the TUI, from Namhyung Kim.

   - Don't enable annotation in non symbolic view, from Namhyung Kim.

   - Fix pipe mode in 'report', from Namhyung Kim.

   - Move related stats code from stat to util/, will be used by the
     'stat' kvm tool, from Xiao Guangrong.

   - Remove die()/exit() calls from several tools.

   - Resolve vdso callchains, from Jiri Olsa

   - Don't pass const char pointers to basename, so that we can
     unconditionally use libgen.h and thus avoid ifdef BIONIC lines,
     from David Ahern

   - Refactor hist formatting so that it can be reused with the GTK
     browser, From Namhyung Kim

   - Fix build for another rbtree.c change, from Adrian Hunter.

   - Make 'perf diff' command work with evsel hists, from Jiri Olsa.

   - Use the only field_sep var that is set up: symbol_conf.field_sep,
     fix from Jiri Olsa.

   - .gitignore compiled python binaries, from Namhyung Kim.

   - Get rid of die() in more libtraceevent places, from Namhyung Kim.

   - Rename libtraceevent 'private' struct member to 'priv' so that it
     works in C++, from Steven Rostedt

   - Remove lots of exit()/die() calls from tools so that the main perf
     exit routine can take place, from David Ahern

   - Fix x86 build on x86-64, from David Ahern.

   - {int,str,rb}list fixes from Suzuki K Poulose

   - perf.data header fixes from Namhyung Kim

   - Allow user to indicate objdump path, needed in cross environments,
     from Maciek Borzecki

   - Fix hardware cache event name generation, fix from Jiri Olsa

   - Add round trip test for sw, hw and cache event names, catching the
     problem Jiri fixed, after Jiri's patch, the test passes
     successfully.

   - Clean target should do clean for lib/traceevent too, fix from David
     Ahern

   - Check the right variable for allocation failure, fix from Namhyung
     Kim

   - Set up evsel->tp_format regardless of evsel->name being set
     already, fix from Namhyung Kim

   - Oprofile fixes from Robert Richter.

   - Remove perf_event_attr needless version inflation, from Jiri Olsa

   - Introduce libtraceevent strerror like error reporting facility,
     from Namhyung Kim

   - Add pmu mappings to perf.data header and use event names from cmd
     line, from Robert Richter

   - Fix include order for bison/flex-generated C files, from Ben
     Hutchings

   - Build fixes and documentation corrections from David Ahern

   - Assorted cleanups from Robert Richter

   - Let O= makes handle relative paths, from Steven Rostedt

   - perf script python fixes, from Feng Tang.

   - Initial bash completion support, from Frederic Weisbecker

   - Allow building without libelf, from Namhyung Kim.

   - Support DWARF CFI based unwind to have callchains when %bp based
     unwinding is not possible, from Jiri Olsa.

   - Symbol resolution fixes, while fixing support PPC64 files with an
     .opt ELF section was the end goal, several fixes for code that
     handles all architectures and cleanups are included, from Cody
     Schafer.

   - Assorted fixes for Documentation and build in 32 bit, from Robert
     Richter

   - Cache the libtraceevent event_format associated to each evsel
     early, so that we avoid relookups, i.e.  calling pevent_find_event
     repeatedly when processing tracepoint events.

     [ This is to reduce the surface contact with libtraceevents and
        make clear what is that the perf tools needs from that lib: so
        far parsing the common and per event fields.  ]

   - Don't stop the build if the audit libraries are not installed, fix
     from Namhyung Kim.

   - Fix bfd.h/libbfd detection with recent binutils, from Markus
     Trippelsdorf.

   - Improve warning message when libunwind devel packages not present,
     from Jiri Olsa"

Al Viro 2aa3a7f866 preparation for generic kernel_thread()
Let architectures select GENERIC_KERNEL_THREAD and have their copy_thread()
treat NULL regs as "it came from kernel_thread(), sp argument contains
the function new thread will be calling and stack_size - the argument for
that function".  Switching the architectures begins shortly...

David Howells 786d35d45c Make most arch asm/module.h files use asm-generic/module.h
Use the mapping of Elf_[SPE]hdr, Elf_Addr, Elf_Sym, Elf_Dyn, Elf_Rel/Rela,
ELF_R_TYPE() and ELF_R_SYM() to either the 32-bit version or the 64-bit version
into asm-generic/module.h for all arches bar MIPS.

Also, use the generic definition mod_arch_specific where possible.

To this end, I've defined three new config bools:

 (*) HAVE_MOD_ARCH_SPECIFIC

     Arches define this if they don't want to use the empty generic
     mod_arch_specific struct.

 (*) MODULES_USE_ELF_RELA

     Arches define this if their modules can contain RELA records.  This causes
     the Elf_Rela mapping to be emitted and allows apply_relocate_add() to be
     defined by the arch rather than have the core emit an error message.

 (*) MODULES_USE_ELF_REL

     Arches define this if their modules can contain REL records.  This causes
     the Elf_Rel mapping to be emitted and allows apply_relocate() to be
     defined by the arch rather than have the core emit an error message.

Note that it is possible to allow both REL and RELA records: m68k and mips are
two arches that do this.

With this, some arch asm/module.h files can be deleted entirely and replaced
with a generic-y marker in the arch Kbuild file.

Additionally, I have removed the bits from m32r and score that handle the
unsupported type of relocation record as that's now handled centrally.

Frederic Weisbecker fdf9c35650 cputime: Make finegrained irqtime accounting generally available
There is no known reason for this option to be unavailable on other
archs than x86. They just need to call enable_sched_clock_irqtime()
if they have a sufficiently finegrained clock to make it working.

Move it to the general option and let the user choose between
it and pure tick based or virtual cputime accounting.

Note that virtual cputime accounting already performs a finegrained
irqtime accounting. CONFIG_IRQ_TIME_ACCOUNTING is a kind of middle ground
between tick and virtual based accounting. So CONFIG_IRQ_TIME_ACCOUNTING
and CONFIG_VIRT_CPU_ACCOUNTING are mutually exclusive choices.
