    BUILD_BUG_ON(): fix it and a couple of bogus uses of it

    gcc permitting variable length arrays makes the current construct used for
    BUILD_BUG_ON() useless, as that doesn't produce any diagnostic if the
    controlling expression isn't really constant.  Instead, this patch makes
    it so that a bit field gets used here.  Consequently, those uses where the
    condition isn't really constant now also need fixing.

    Note that in the gfp.h, kmemcheck.h, and virtio_config.h cases
    MAYBE_BUILD_BUG_ON() really just serves documentation purposes - even if
    the expression is compile time constant (__builtin_constant_p() yields
    true), the array is still deemed of variable length by gcc, and hence the
    whole expression doesn't have the intended effect.

    BUILD_BUG_ON: make it handle more cases

    BUILD_BUG_ON used to use the optimizer to do code elimination or fail
    at link time; it was changed to first the size of a negative array (a
    nicer compile time error), then (in
    8c87df457cb58fe75b9b893007917cf8095660a0) to a bitfield.

    This forced us to change some non-constant cases to MAYBE_BUILD_BUG_ON();
    as Jan points out in that commit, it didn't work as intended anyway.

    bitfields: needs a literal constant at parse time, and can't be put under
            "if (__builtin_constant_p(x))" for example.
    negative array: can handle anything, but if the compiler can't tell it's
            a constant, silently has no effect.
    link time: breaks link if the compiler can't determine the value, but the
            linker output is not usually as informative as a compiler error.

    If we use the negative-array-size method *and* the link time trick,
    we get the ability to use BUILD_BUG_ON() under __builtin_constant_p()
    branches, and maximal ability for the compiler to detect errors at
    build time.

    We also document it thoroughly.

    This can be true if there is a lot of free memory available.  For high-
    order allocations, kswapd is responsible for waking up kcompactd for

    reclaim has recently failed (lots of free memory, nothing left to
    reclaim), kcompactd does not get woken up.

    When __GFP_DIRECT_RECLAIM is not allowed, allow kcompactd to still be
    woken up even if kswapd will not reclaim.  This allows high-order

    end of an atomic section which can be used by a trace viewer like
    systrace to graphically view the start and end of an atomic section and

    This also serves as a prelude to using synthetic events or probes to

    using trace events features for these events.

Fix: network instrumentation handling of corrupted TCP headers

A malformed packet may contain a valid IPv4/IPv6 header, but an
inconsistent TCP header. As a result, the trace contains a fully
formed IPv4/IPv6 header, including the "protocol" or "nexthdr"
fields indicating TCP, but no following TCP header.

This scenario leads to an unreadable CTF trace, because the
trace viewer expects a TCP header, but instead gets the next
event.

Therefore, using the IP header fields as selector for the
transport layer variant is not the right approach: introduce

Fix: debian kernel version parsing

The debian version script only worked for ckt kernels and that was fine
until now because we only had checks for those versions in the code.

ckt (Canonical Kernel Team) kernels were used for a while during the jessie
cycle, their versionning is a bit different. They track the upstream vanilla
stable updates but they don't update the minor version number and instead add
an additionnal -cktX. They were all 3.16.7-cktX and after a while the version
switched back to upstream style at 3.16.36.

Knowing that, we can compare regular debian and ckt kernel versions
using this scheme :

  MAJOR.PATCHLEVEL.SUBLEVEL.CKT.DEBABI.DEBPATCH

And setting CKT to zero for non-ckt kernels.

3.19.

This commit replaces all calls to ACCESS_ONCE() with the appropriate

have them.

    locking/atomics, mm: Convert ACCESS_ONCE() to READ_ONCE()/WRITE_ONCE()

    For several reasons, it is desirable to use {READ,WRITE}_ONCE() in
    preference to ACCESS_ONCE(), and new code is expected to use one of the
    former. So far, there's been no reason to change most existing uses of
    ACCESS_ONCE(), as these aren't currently harmful.

    However, for some features it is necessary to instrument reads and
    writes separately, which is not possible with ACCESS_ONCE(). This
    distinction is critical to correct operation.

    It's possible to transform the bulk of kernel code using the Coccinelle
    script below. However, this doesn't handle comments, leaving references
    to ACCESS_ONCE() instances which have been removed. As a preparatory
    step, this patch converts the mm code and comments to use
    {READ,WRITE}_ONCE() consistently.

    timer: Prepare to change timer callback argument type

    Modern kernel callback systems pass the structure associated with a
    given callback to the callback function. The timer callback remains one
    of the legacy cases where an arbitrary unsigned long argument continues
    to be passed as the callback argument. This has several problems:

    - This bloats the timer_list structure with a normally redundant
      .data field.

    - No type checking is being performed, forcing callbacks to do
      explicit type casts of the unsigned long argument into the object
      that was passed, rather than using container_of(), as done in most
      of the other callback infrastructure.

    - Neighboring buffer overflows can overwrite both the .function and
      the .data field, providing attackers with a way to elevate from a buffer
      overflow into a simplistic ROP-like mechanism that allows calling
      arbitrary functions with a controlled first argument.

    - For future Control Flow Integrity work, this creates a unique function
      prototype for timer callbacks, instead of allowing them to continue to
      be clustered with other void functions that take a single unsigned long
      argument.

    This adds a new timer initialization API, which will ultimately replace
    the existing setup_timer(), setup_{deferrable,pinned,etc}_timer() family,
    named timer_setup() (to mirror hrtimer_setup(), making instances of its
    use much easier to grep for).

    In order to support the migration of existing timers into the new
    callback arguments, timer_setup() casts its arguments to the existing
    legacy types, and explicitly passes the timer pointer as the legacy
    data argument. Once all setup_*timer() callers have been replaced with
    timer_setup(), the casts can be removed, and the data argument can be
    dropped with the timer expiration code changed to just pass the timer

    Since the regular pattern of using container_of() during local variable
    declaration repeats the need for the variable type declaration
    to be included, this adds a helper modeled after other from_*()
    helpers that wrap container_of(), named from_timer(). This helper uses
    typeof(*variable), removing the type redundancy and minimizing the need
    for line wraps in forthcoming conversions from "unsigned data long" to
    "struct timer_list *" in the timer callbacks:

    -void callback(unsigned long data)
    +void callback(struct timer_list *t)
    {
    -   struct some_data_structure *local = (struct some_data_structure *)data;
    +   struct some_data_structure *local = from_timer(local, t, timer);

    Finally, in order to support the handful of timer users that perform
    open-coded assignments of the .function (and .data) fields, provide
    cast macros (TIMER_FUNC_TYPE and TIMER_DATA_TYPE) that can be used
    temporarily. Once conversion has been completed, these can be globally
    trivially removed.

    treewide: setup_timer() -> timer_setup()

    This converts all remaining cases of the old setup_timer() API into using
    timer_setup(), where the callback argument is the structure already
    holding the struct timer_list. These should have no behavioral changes,
    since they just change which pointer is passed into the callback with
    the same available pointers after conversion. It handles the following
    examples, in addition to some other variations.

    This refactors the only users of init_timer_pinned() to use
    the new timer_setup() and from_timer(). Drops the definition of

Fix: lttng_kvmalloc helper NULL pointer OOPS

The static function __vmalloc_node is not visible by KALLSYMS_ALL on at
least some kernels, which leads to a call to a NULL function when trying
to perform allocation of lttng buffer memory under memory fragmentation
conditions (kmalloc_node failure).

Use __vmalloc_node_range instead, and check that the returned pointer
is non-NULL to ensure this type of failure does not happen in any
condition.

Fallback to __vmalloc(), even though it is not NUMA-aware, in case
we fail to find __vmalloc_node_range, and print an explicit warning
to the user console about the need to enable KALLSYMS_ALL.

This affects kernels < 4.12. Later kernels provide kvmalloc(), which
we use.

    block: replace bi_bdev with a gendisk pointer and partitions index

    This way we don't need a block_device structure to submit I/O.  The
    block_device has different life time rules from the gendisk and
    request_queue and is usually only available when the block device node
    is open.  Other callers need to explicitly create one (e.g. the lightnvm
    passthrough code, or the new nvme multipathing code).

    For the actual I/O path all that we need is the gendisk, which exists
    once per block device.  But given that the block layer also does
    partition remapping we additionally need a partition index, which is
    used for said remapping in generic_make_request.

    Note that all the block drivers generally want request_queue or
    sometimes the gendisk, so this removes a layer of indirection all
    over the stack.

    mm: introduce kv[mz]alloc helpers

    Patch series "kvmalloc", v5.

    There are many open coded kmalloc with vmalloc fallback instances in the
    tree.  Most of them are not careful enough or simply do not care about
    the underlying semantic of the kmalloc/page allocator which means that
    a) some vmalloc fallbacks are basically unreachable because the kmalloc
    part will keep retrying until it succeeds b) the page allocator can
    invoke a really disruptive steps like the OOM killer to move forward
    which doesn't sound appropriate when we consider that the vmalloc
    fallback is available.

    As it can be seen implementing kvmalloc requires quite an intimate
    knowledge if the page allocator and the memory reclaim internals which
    strongly suggests that a helper should be implemented in the memory
    subsystem proper.

    Most callers, I could find, have been converted to use the helper
    instead.  This is patch 6.  There are some more relying on __GFP_REPEAT
    in the networking stack which I have converted as well and Eric Dumazet
    was not opposed [2] to convert them as well.

    [2] http://lkml.kernel.org/r/1485273626.16328.301.camel@edumazet-glaptop3.roam.corp.google.com

    This patch (of 9):

    Using kmalloc with the vmalloc fallback for larger allocations is a
    common pattern in the kernel code.  Yet we do not have any common helper
    for that and so users have invented their own helpers.  Some of them are
    really creative when doing so.  Let's just add kv[mz]alloc and make sure
    it is implemented properly.  This implementation makes sure to not make
    a large memory pressure for > PAGE_SZE requests (__GFP_NORETRY) and also
    to not warn about allocation failures.  This also rules out the OOM
    killer as the vmalloc is a more approapriate fallback than a disruptive
    user visible action.

7 years agoFix: mmap: caches aliased on virtual addresses
Mathieu Desnoyers [Tue, 19 Sep 2017 16:16:58 +0000 (12:16 -0400)] 
Fix: mmap: caches aliased on virtual addresses

Some architectures (e.g. implementations of arm64) implement their
caches based on the virtual addresses (rather than physical address).
It has the upside of making the cache access faster (no TLB lookup
required to access the cache line), but the downside of requiring
virtual mappings (e.g. kernel vs user-space) to be aligned on the number
of bits used for cache aliasing.

Perform dcache flushing for the entire sub-buffer in the get_subbuf
operation on those architectures, thus ensuring we don't end up with
cache aliasing issues.

An alternative approach we could eventually take would be to create a
kernel mapping for the ring buffer that is aligned with the user-space
mapping.
