Linus Torvalds 0e01df100b Fix a number of bugs, most notably a potential stale data exposure
after a crash and a potential BUG_ON crash if a file has the data
 journalling flag enabled while it has dirty delayed allocation blocks
 that haven't been written yet.  Also fix a potential crash in the new
 project quota code and a maliciously corrupted file system.
 
 In addition, fix some DAX-specific bugs, including when there is a
 transient ENOSPC situation and races between writes via direct I/O and
 an mmap'ed segment that could lead to lost I/O.
 
 Finally the usual set of miscellaneous cleanups.

Peter Zijlstra 04cafed7fc locking/rwsem: Fix down_write_killable()
The new signal_pending exit path in __rwsem_down_write_failed_common()
was fingered as breaking his kernel by Tetsuo Handa.

Upon inspection it was found that there are two things wrong with it;

 - it forgets to remove WAITING_BIAS if it leaves the list empty, or
 - it forgets to wake further waiters that were blocked on the now
   removed waiter.

Especially the first issue causes new lock attempts to block and stall
indefinitely, as the code assumes that pending waiters mean there is
an owner that will wake when it releases the lock.

Peter Zijlstra e7904a28f5 locking/lockdep, sched/core: Implement a better lock pinning scheme
The problem with the existing lock pinning is that each pin is of
value 1; this mean you can simply unpin if you know its pinned,
without having any extra information.

This scheme generates a random (16 bit) cookie for each pin and
requires this same cookie to unpin. This means you have to keep the
cookie in context.

No objsize difference for !LOCKDEP kernels.

Daeho Jeong c8585c6fca ext4: fix races between changing inode journal mode and ext4_writepages
In ext4, there is a race condition between changing inode journal mode
and ext4_writepages(). While ext4_writepages() is executed on a
non-journalled mode inode, the inode's journal mode could be enabled
by ioctl() and then, some pages dirtied after switching the journal
mode will be still exposed to ext4_writepages() in non-journaled mode.
To resolve this problem, we use fs-wide per-cpu rw semaphore by Jan
Kara's suggestion because we don't want to waste ext4_inode_info's
space for this extra rare case.

lock_chain::base is used to store an index into the chain_hlocks[]
array, however that array contains more elements than can be indexed
using the u16.

Change the lock_chain structure to use a bitfield to encode the data
it needs and add BUILD_BUG_ON() assertions to check the fields are
wide enough.

Also, for DEBUG_LOCKDEP, assert that we don't run out of elements of
that array; as that would wreck the collision detectoring.

Davidlohr Bueso 6687659568 locking/pvqspinlock: Fix division by zero in qstat_read()
While playing with the qstat statistics (in <debugfs>/qlockstat/) I ran into

Fix this by verifying that qstat_pv_kick_unlock is in fact non-zero,
similarly to what the qstat_pv_latency_wake case does, as if nothing
else, this can come from resetting the statistics, thus having 0 kicks
should be quite valid in this context.

Michal Hocko d47996082f locking/rwsem: Introduce basis for down_write_killable()
Introduce a generic implementation necessary for down_write_killable().

This is a trivial extension of the already existing down_write() call
which can be interrupted by SIGKILL.  This patch doesn't provide
down_write_killable() yet because arches have to provide the necessary
pieces before.

rwsem_down_write_failed() which is a generic slow path for the
write lock is extended to take a task state and renamed to
__rwsem_down_write_failed_common(). The return value is either a valid
semaphore pointer or ERR_PTR(-EINTR).

rwsem_down_write_failed_killable() is exported as a new way to wait for
the lock and be killable.

For rwsem-spinlock implementation the current __down_write() it updated
in a similar way as __rwsem_down_write_failed_common() except it doesn't
need new exports just visible __down_write_killable().

Architectures which are not using the generic rwsem implementation are
supposed to provide their __down_write_killable() implementation and
use rwsem_down_write_failed_killable() for the slow path.

Denys Vlasenko c003ed9289 locking/lockdep: Deinline register_lock_class(), save 2328 bytes
This function compiles to 1328 bytes of machine code. Three callsites.

Registering a new lock class is definitely not *that* time-critical to inline it.

Davidlohr Bueso c1c33b92db locking/locktorture: Fix NULL pointer dereference for cleanup paths
It has been found that paths that invoke cleanups through
lock_torture_cleanup() can trigger NULL pointer dereferencing
bugs during the statistics printing phase. This is mainly
because we should not be calling into statistics before we are
sure things have been set up correctly.

Specifically, early checks (and the need for handling this in
the cleanup call) only include parameter checks and basic
statistics allocation. Once we start write/read kthreads
we then consider the test as started. As such, update the function
in question to check for cxt.lwsa writer stats, if not set,
we either have a bogus parameter or -ENOMEM situation and
therefore only need to deal with general torture calls.

Davidlohr Bueso 1f19093189 locking/locktorture: Fix deboosting NULL pointer dereference
For the case of rtmutex torturing we will randomly call into the
boost() handler, including upon module exiting when the tasks are
deboosted before stopping. In such cases the task may or may not have
already been boosted, and therefore the NULL being explicitly passed
can occur anywhere. Currently we only assume that the task will is
at a higher prio, and in consequence, dereference a NULL pointer.

This patch fixes the case of a rmmod locktorture exploding while
pounding on the rtmutex lock (partial trace):

A sequence of pairs [class_idx -> corresponding chain_key iteration]
is printed for both the current held_lock chain and the cached chain.

That exposes the two different class_idx sequences that led to that
particular hash value.

This helps with debugging hash chain collision reports.

Dmitry Vyukov 5c9a8750a6 kernel: add kcov code coverage
kcov provides code coverage collection for coverage-guided fuzzing
(randomized testing).  Coverage-guided fuzzing is a testing technique
that uses coverage feedback to determine new interesting inputs to a
system.  A notable user-space example is AFL
(http://lcamtuf.coredump.cx/afl/).  However, this technique is not
widely used for kernel testing due to missing compiler and kernel
support.

kcov does not aim to collect as much coverage as possible.  It aims to
collect more or less stable coverage that is function of syscall inputs.
To achieve this goal it does not collect coverage in soft/hard
interrupts and instrumentation of some inherently non-deterministic or
non-interesting parts of kernel is disbled (e.g.  scheduler, locking).

Currently there is a single coverage collection mode (tracing), but the
API anticipates additional collection modes.  Initially I also
implemented a second mode which exposes coverage in a fixed-size hash
table of counters (what Quentin used in his original patch).  I've
dropped the second mode for simplicity.

This patch adds the necessary support on kernel side.  The complimentary
compiler support was added in gcc revision 231296.

We've used this support to build syzkaller system call fuzzer, which has
found 90 kernel bugs in just 2 months:

  https://github.com/google/syzkaller/wiki/Found-Bugs

We've also found 30+ bugs in our internal systems with syzkaller.
Another (yet unexplored) direction where kcov coverage would greatly
help is more traditional "blob mutation".  For example, mounting a
random blob as a filesystem, or receiving a random blob over wire.

Why not gcov.  Typical fuzzing loop looks as follows: (1) reset
coverage, (2) execute a bit of code, (3) collect coverage, repeat.  A
typical coverage can be just a dozen of basic blocks (e.g.  an invalid
input).  In such context gcov becomes prohibitively expensive as
reset/collect coverage steps depend on total number of basic
blocks/edges in program (in case of kernel it is about 2M).  Cost of
kcov depends only on number of executed basic blocks/edges.  On top of
that, kernel requires per-thread coverage because there are always
background threads and unrelated processes that also produce coverage.
With inlined gcov instrumentation per-thread coverage is not possible.

kcov exposes kernel PCs and control flow to user-space which is
insecure.  But debugfs should not be mapped as user accessible.

Based on a patch by Quentin Casasnovas.

Add detection for chain_key collision under CONFIG_DEBUG_LOCKDEP.
When a collision is detected the problem is reported and all lock
debugging is turned off.

Tested using liblockdep and the added tests before and after
applying the fix, confirming both that the code added for the
detection correctly reports the problem and that the fix actually
fixes it.

Tested tweaking lockdep to generate false collisions and
verified that the problem is reported and that lock debugging is
turned off.

Also tested with lockdep's test suite after applying the patch:

Alfredo Alvarez Fernandez 5f18ab5c6b locking/lockdep: Prevent chain_key collisions
The chain_key hashing macro iterate_chain_key(key1, key2) does not
generate a new different value if both key1 and key2 are 0. In that
case the generated value is again 0. This can lead to collisions which
can result in lockdep not detecting deadlocks or circular
dependencies.

Avoid the problem by using class_idx (1-based) instead of class id
(0-based) as an input for the hashing macro 'key2' in
iterate_chain_key(key1, key2).

The use of class id created collisions in cases like the following:

1.- Consider an initial state in which no class has been acquired yet.
Under these circumstances an AA deadlock will not be detected by
lockdep:

  lock  [key1,key2]->new key  (key1=old chain_key, key2=id)
  --------------------------
  A     [0,0]->0
  A     [0,0]->0 (collision)

  The newly generated chain_key collides with the one used before and as
  a result the check for a deadlock is skipped

  A simple test using liblockdep and a pthread mutex confirms the
  problem: (omitting stack traces)

    new class 0xe15038: 0x7ffc64950f20
    acquire class [0xe15038] 0x7ffc64950f20
    acquire class [0xe15038] 0x7ffc64950f20
    hash chain already cached, key: 0000000000000000 tail class:
    [0xe15038] 0x7ffc64950f20

2.- Consider an ABBA in 2 different tasks and no class yet acquired.

  T1 [key1,key2]->new key     T2[key1,key2]->new key
  --                          --
  A [0,0]->0

                              B [0,1]->1

  B [0,1]->1  (collision)

                              A

In this case the collision prevents lockdep from creating the new
dependency A->B. This in turn results in lockdep not detecting the
circular dependency when T2 acquires A.

Peter Zijlstra 920c720aa5 locking/mcs: Fix mcs_spin_lock() ordering
Similar to commit b4b29f9485 ("locking/osq: Fix ordering of node
initialisation in osq_lock") the use of xchg_acquire() is
fundamentally broken with MCS like constructs.

Furthermore, it turns out we rely on the global transitivity of this
operation because the unlock path observes the pointer with a
READ_ONCE(), not an smp_load_acquire().

This is non-critical because the MCS code isn't actually used and
mostly serves as documentation, a stepping stone to the more complex
things we've build on top of the idea.

Andrew Morton a63f38cc4c locking/lockdep: Convert hash tables to hlists
Mike said:

: CONFIG_UBSAN_ALIGNMENT breaks x86-64 kernel with lockdep enabled, i.e.
: kernel with CONFIG_UBSAN_ALIGNMENT=y fails to load without even any error
: message.
:
: The problem is that ubsan callbacks use spinlocks and might be called
: before lockdep is initialized.  Particularly this line in the
: reserve_ebda_region function causes problem:
:
: lowmem = *(unsigned short *)__va(BIOS_LOWMEM_KILOBYTES);
:
: If i put lockdep_init() before reserve_ebda_region call in
: x86_64_start_reservations kernel loads well.

Fix this ordering issue permanently: change lockdep so that it uses hlists
for the hash tables.  Unlike a list_head, an hlist_head is in its
initialized state when it is all-zeroes, so lockdep is ready for operation
immediately upon boot - lockdep_init() need not have run.

The patch will also save some memory.

Probably lockdep_init() and lockdep_initialized can be done away with now.

Dmitry Vyukov 8a5fd56431 locking/lockdep: Fix stack trace caching logic
check_prev_add() caches saved stack trace in static trace variable
to avoid duplicate save_trace() calls in dependencies involving trylocks.
But that caching logic contains a bug. We may not save trace on first
iteration due to early return from check_prev_add(). Then on the
second iteration when we actually need the trace we don't save it
because we think that we've already saved it.

Let check_prev_add() itself control when stack is saved.

There is another bug. Trace variable is protected by graph lock.
But we can temporary release graph lock during printing.

Fix this by invalidating cached stack trace when we release graph lock.

Thomas Gleixner b4abf91047 rtmutex: Make wait_lock irq safe
Sasha reported a lockdep splat about a potential deadlock between RCU boosting
rtmutex and the posix timer it_lock.

CPU0					CPU1

rtmutex_lock(&rcu->rt_mutex)
  spin_lock(&rcu->rt_mutex.wait_lock)
					local_irq_disable()
					spin_lock(&timer->it_lock)
					spin_lock(&rcu->mutex.wait_lock)
--> Interrupt
    spin_lock(&timer->it_lock)

This is caused by the following code sequence on CPU1

     rcu_read_lock()
     x = lookup();
     if (x)
     	spin_lock_irqsave(&x->it_lock);
     rcu_read_unlock();
     return x;

We could fix that in the posix timer code by keeping rcu read locked across
the spinlocked and irq disabled section, but the above sequence is common and
there is no reason not to support it.

Taking rt_mutex.wait_lock irq safe prevents the deadlock.

Will Deacon b4b29f9485 locking/osq: Fix ordering of node initialisation in osq_lock
The Cavium guys reported a soft lockup on their arm64 machine, caused by
commit c55a6ffa62 ("locking/osq: Relax atomic semantics"):

    mutex_optimistic_spin+0x9c/0x1d0
    __mutex_lock_slowpath+0x44/0x158
    mutex_lock+0x54/0x58
    kernfs_iop_permission+0x38/0x70
    __inode_permission+0x88/0xd8
    inode_permission+0x30/0x6c
    link_path_walk+0x68/0x4d4
    path_openat+0xb4/0x2bc
    do_filp_open+0x74/0xd0
    do_sys_open+0x14c/0x228
    SyS_openat+0x3c/0x48
    el0_svc_naked+0x24/0x28

This is because in osq_lock we initialise the node for the current CPU:

    node->locked = 0;
    node->next = NULL;
    node->cpu = curr;

and then publish the current CPU in the lock tail:

    old = atomic_xchg_acquire(&lock->tail, curr);

Once the update to lock->tail is visible to another CPU, the node is
then live and can be both read and updated by concurrent lockers.

Unfortunately, the ACQUIRE semantics of the xchg operation mean that
there is no guarantee the contents of the node will be visible before
lock tail is updated.  This can lead to lock corruption when, for
example, a concurrent locker races to set the next field.

Waiman Long cd0272fab7 locking/pvqspinlock: Queue node adaptive spinning
In an overcommitted guest where some vCPUs have to be halted to make
forward progress in other areas, it is highly likely that a vCPU later
in the spinlock queue will be spinning while the ones earlier in the
queue would have been halted. The spinning in the later vCPUs is then
just a waste of precious CPU cycles because they are not going to
get the lock soon as the earlier ones have to be woken up and take
their turn to get the lock.

This patch implements an adaptive spinning mechanism where the vCPU
will call pv_wait() if the previous vCPU is not running.

Linux kernel builds were run in KVM guest on an 8-socket, 4
cores/socket Westmere-EX system and a 4-socket, 8 cores/socket
Haswell-EX system. Both systems are configured to have 32 physical
CPUs. The kernel build times before and after the patch were:

		    Westmere			Haswell
  Patch		32 vCPUs    48 vCPUs	32 vCPUs    48 vCPUs
  -----		--------    --------    --------    --------
  Before patch   3m02.3s     5m00.2s     1m43.7s     3m03.5s
  After patch    3m03.0s     4m37.5s	 1m43.0s     2m47.2s

For 32 vCPUs, this patch doesn't cause any noticeable change in
performance. For 48 vCPUs (over-committed), there is about 8%
performance improvement.

Waiman Long 1c4941fd53 locking/pvqspinlock: Allow limited lock stealing
This patch allows one attempt for the lock waiter to steal the lock
when entering the PV slowpath. To prevent lock starvation, the pending
bit will be set by the queue head vCPU when it is in the active lock
spinning loop to disable any lock stealing attempt.  This helps to
reduce the performance penalty caused by lock waiter preemption while
not having much of the downsides of a real unfair lock.

The pv_wait_head() function was renamed as pv_wait_head_or_lock()
as it was modified to acquire the lock before returning. This is
necessary because of possible lock stealing attempts from other tasks.

Linux kernel builds were run in KVM guest on an 8-socket, 4
cores/socket Westmere-EX system and a 4-socket, 8 cores/socket
Haswell-EX system. Both systems are configured to have 32 physical
CPUs. The kernel build times before and after the patch were:

                    Westmere                    Haswell

  Before patch   3m15.6s    10m56.1s     1m44.1s     5m29.1s
  After patch    3m02.3s     5m00.2s     1m43.7s     3m03.5s

For the overcommited case (48 vCPUs), this patch is able to reduce
kernel build time by more than 54% for Westmere and 44% for Haswell.

Waiman Long 45e898b735 locking/pvqspinlock: Collect slowpath lock statistics
This patch enables the accumulation of kicking and waiting related
PV qspinlock statistics when the new QUEUED_LOCK_STAT configuration
option is selected. It also enables the collection of data which
enable us to calculate the kicking and wakeup latencies which have
a heavy dependency on the CPUs being used.

The statistical counters are per-cpu variables to minimize the
performance overhead in their updates. These counters are exported
via the debugfs filesystem under the qlockstat directory.  When the
corresponding debugfs files are read, summation and computing of the
required data are then performed.

The measured latencies for different CPUs are:

	CPU		Wakeup		Kicking
	---		------		-------
	Haswell-EX	63.6us		 7.4us
	Westmere-EX	67.6us		 9.3us

The measured latencies varied a bit from run-to-run. The wakeup
latency is much higher than the kicking latency.

A sample of statistical counters after system bootup (with vCPU
overcommit) was:

	pv_hash_hops=1.00
	pv_kick_unlock=1148
	pv_kick_wake=1146
	pv_latency_kick=11040
	pv_latency_wake=194840
	pv_spurious_wakeup=7
	pv_wait_again=4
	pv_wait_head=23
	pv_wait_node=1129

Waiman Long d78045306c locking/pvqspinlock, x86: Optimize the PV unlock code path
The unlock function in queued spinlocks was optimized for better
performance on bare metal systems at the expense of virtualized guests.

For x86-64 systems, the unlock call needs to go through a
PV_CALLEE_SAVE_REGS_THUNK() which saves and restores 8 64-bit
registers before calling the real __pv_queued_spin_unlock()
function. The thunk code may also be in a separate cacheline from
__pv_queued_spin_unlock().

This patch optimizes the PV unlock code path by:

 1) Moving the unlock slowpath code from the fastpath into a separate
    __pv_queued_spin_unlock_slowpath() function to make the fastpath
    as simple as possible..

 2) For x86-64, hand-coded an assembly function to combine the register
    saving thunk code with the fastpath code. Only registers that
    are used in the fastpath will be saved and restored. If the
    fastpath fails, the slowpath function will be called via another
    PV_CALLEE_SAVE_REGS_THUNK(). For 32-bit, it falls back to the C
    __pv_queued_spin_unlock() code as the thunk saves and restores
    only one 32-bit register.

With a microbenchmark of 5M lock-unlock loop, the table below shows
the execution times before and after the patch with different number
of threads in a VM running on a 32-core Westmere-EX box with x86-64
4.2-rc1 based kernels:

Waiman Long 81b5598665 locking/qspinlock: Prefetch the next node cacheline
A queue head CPU, after acquiring the lock, will have to notify
the next CPU in the wait queue that it has became the new queue
head. This involves loading a new cacheline from the MCS node of the
next CPU. That operation can be expensive and add to the latency of
locking operation.

This patch addes code to optmistically prefetch the next MCS node
cacheline if the next pointer is defined and it has been spinning
for the MCS lock for a while. This reduces the locking latency and
improves the system throughput.

The performance change will depend on whether the prefetch overhead
can be hidden within the latency of the lock spin loop. On really
short critical section, there may not be performance gain at all. With
longer critical section, however, it was found to have a performance
boost of 5-10% over a range of different queue depths with a spinlock
loop microbenchmark.

Mel Gorman d0164adc89 mm, page_alloc: distinguish between being unable to sleep, unwilling to sleep and avoiding waking kswapd
__GFP_WAIT has been used to identify atomic context in callers that hold
spinlocks or are in interrupts.  They are expected to be high priority and
have access one of two watermarks lower than "min" which can be referred
to as the "atomic reserve".  __GFP_HIGH users get access to the first
lower watermark and can be called the "high priority reserve".

Over time, callers had a requirement to not block when fallback options
were available.  Some have abused __GFP_WAIT leading to a situation where
an optimisitic allocation with a fallback option can access atomic
reserves.

This patch uses __GFP_ATOMIC to identify callers that are truely atomic,
cannot sleep and have no alternative.  High priority users continue to use
__GFP_HIGH.  __GFP_DIRECT_RECLAIM identifies callers that can sleep and
are willing to enter direct reclaim.  __GFP_KSWAPD_RECLAIM to identify
callers that want to wake kswapd for background reclaim.  __GFP_WAIT is
redefined as a caller that is willing to enter direct reclaim and wake
kswapd for background reclaim.

This patch then converts a number of sites

o __GFP_ATOMIC is used by callers that are high priority and have memory
  pools for those requests. GFP_ATOMIC uses this flag.

o Callers that have a limited mempool to guarantee forward progress clear
  __GFP_DIRECT_RECLAIM but keep __GFP_KSWAPD_RECLAIM. bio allocations fall
  into this category where kswapd will still be woken but atomic reserves
  are not used as there is a one-entry mempool to guarantee progress.

o Callers that are checking if they are non-blocking should use the
  helper gfpflags_allow_blocking() where possible. This is because
  checking for __GFP_WAIT as was done historically now can trigger false
  positives. Some exceptions like dm-crypt.c exist where the code intent
  is clearer if __GFP_DIRECT_RECLAIM is used instead of the helper due to
  flag manipulations.

o Callers that built their own GFP flags instead of starting with GFP_KERNEL
  and friends now also need to specify __GFP_KSWAPD_RECLAIM.

The first key hazard to watch out for is callers that removed __GFP_WAIT
and was depending on access to atomic reserves for inconspicuous reasons.
In some cases it may be appropriate for them to use __GFP_HIGH.

The second key hazard is callers that assembled their own combination of
GFP flags instead of starting with something like GFP_KERNEL.  They may
now wish to specify __GFP_KSWAPD_RECLAIM.  It's almost certainly harmless
if it's missed in most cases as other activity will wake kswapd.

Pull locking changes from Ingo Molnar:
 "The main changes in this cycle were:

   - More gradual enhancements to atomic ops: new atomic*_read_ctrl()
     ops, synchronize atomic_{read,set}() ordering requirements between
     architectures, add atomic_long_t bitops.  (Peter Zijlstra)

   - Add _{relaxed|acquire|release}() variants for inc/dec atomics and
     use them in various locking primitives: mutex, rtmutex, mcs, rwsem.
     This enables weakly ordered architectures (such as arm64) to make
     use of more locking related optimizations.  (Davidlohr Bueso)

   - Implement atomic[64]_{inc,dec}_relaxed() on ARM.  (Will Deacon)

   - Futex kernel data cache footprint micro-optimization.  (Rasmus
     Villemoes)

   - pvqspinlock runtime overhead micro-optimization.  (Waiman Long)

   - misc smaller fixlets"
