Those pointers were initialized before call to _install_special_mapping() after the commit: f7b6eb3f ("x86: Set context.vdso before installing the mapping") This is not required anymore as special mappings have their vma name and don't use arch_vma_name() after commit: a62c34bd ("x86, mm: Improve _install_special_mapping and fix x86 vdso naming") So, this way to init looks less entangled. I even belive that we can remove NULL initializers: - on failure load_elf_binary() will not start a new thread; - arch_prctl will have the same pointers as before syscall. Signed-off-by:

As userspace knows nothing about kernel config, thus #ifdefs around ABI prctl constants makes them invisible to userspace. Let it be clean'n'simple: remove #ifdefs. If kernel has CONFIG_CHECKPOINT_RESTORE disabled, sys_prctl() will return -EINVAL for those prctls. Reported-by:

If __kernel_text_address() doesn't recognize a return address on the stack, it probably means that it's some generated code which __kernel_text_address() doesn't know about yet. Otherwise there's probably some stack corruption. Either way, warn about it. Use printk_deferred_once() because the unwinder can be called with the console lock by lockdep via save_stack_trace().

If the instruction sanity test fails, it prints a "Failure" message to stdout. Make this program behave like the rest of the build and print that message to stderr. Signed-off-by:

Paul Bolle authored
If the instruction decoder test ran successful it prints a message like this to stderr: Succeed: decoded and checked 1767380 instructions But, as described in "console mode programming user interface guidelines version 101" which doesn't exist, programs should use stderr for errors or warnings. We're told about a successful run here, so the instruction decoder test should use stdout. Let's fix the typo too, while we're at it. Signed-off-by:

Linus suggested we try to remove some of the low-hanging fruit related to kernel address exposure in dmesg. The only leaks I see on my local system are: Freeing SMP alternatives memory: 32K (ffffffff9e309000 - ffffffff9e311000) Freeing initrd memory: 10588K (ffffa0b736b42000 - ffffa0b737599000) Freeing unused kernel memory: 3592K (ffffffff9df87000 - ffffffff9e309000) Freeing unused kernel memory: 1352K (ffffa0b7288ae000 - ffffa0b728a00000) Freeing unused kernel memory: 632K (ffffa0b728d62000 - ffffa0b728e00000) Linus says: "I suspect we should just remove [the addresses in the 'Freeing' messages]. I'm sure they are useful in theory, but I suspect they were more useful back when the whole "free init memory" was originally done. These days, if we have a use-after-free, I suspect the init-mem situation is the easiest situation by far. Compared to all the dynamic allocations which are much more likely to show it anyway. So having debug output for that case is likely not all that productive." With this patch the freeing messages now look like this: Freeing SMP alternatives memory: 32K Freeing initrd memory: 10588K Freeing unused kernel memory: 3592K Freeing unused kernel memory: 1352K Freeing unused kernel memory: 632K Suggested-by:

For mostly historical reasons, the x86 oops dump shows the raw stack values: ...

This seems to be an artifact from long ago, and probably isn't needed anymore. It generally just adds noise to the dump, and it can be actively harmful because it leaks kernel addresses. Linus says: "The stack dump actually goes back to forever, and it used to be useful back in 1992 or so. But it used to be useful mainly because stacks were simpler and we didn't have very good call traces anyway. I definitely remember having used them - I just do not remember having used them in the last ten+ years. Of course, it's still true that if you can trigger an oops, you've likely already lost the security game, but since the stack dump is so useless, let's aim to just remove it and make games like the above harder." This also removes the related 'kstack=' cmdline option and the 'kstack_depth_to_print' sysctl. Suggested-by:

Printing kernel text addresses in stack dumps is of questionable value, especially now that address randomization is becoming common. It can be a security issue because it leaks kernel addresses. It also affects the usefulness of the stack dump. Linus says: "I actually spend time cleaning up commit messages in logs, because useless data that isn't actually information (random hex numbers) is actively detrimental. It makes commit logs less legible. It also makes it harder to parse dumps. It's not useful. That makes it actively bad. I probably look at more oops reports than most people. I have not found the hex numbers useful for the last five years, because they are just randomized crap. The stack content thing just makes code scroll off the screen etc, for example." The only real downside to removing these addresses is that they can be used to disambiguate duplicate symbol names. However such cases are rare, and the context of the stack dump should be enough to be able to figure it out. There's now a 'faddr2line' script which can be used to convert a function address to a file name and line: $ ./scripts/faddr2line ~/k/vmlinux write_sysrq_trigger+0x51/0x60 write_sysrq_trigger+0x51/0x60: write_sysrq_trigger at drivers/tty/sysrq.c:1098 Or gdb can be used: $ echo "list *write_sysrq_trigger+0x51" |gdb ~/k/vmlinux |grep "is in" (gdb) 0xffffffff815b5d83 is in driver_probe_device (/home/jpoimboe/git/linux/drivers/base/dd.c:378). (But note that when there are duplicate symbol names, gdb will only show the first symbol it finds. faddr2line is recommended over gdb because it handles duplicates and it also does function size checking.) Here's an example of what a stack dump looks like after this change: BUG: unable to handle kernel NULL pointer dereference at (null) IP: sysrq_handle_crash+0x45/0x80 PGD 36bfa067 [ 29.650644] PUD 7aca3067 Oops: 0002 [#1] PREEMPT SMP Modules linked in: ...

I'm not sure how we missed this problem before. When I take a function address and size from an oops and give it to faddr2line, it usually complains about a size mismatch: $ scripts/faddr2line ~/k/vmlinux write_sysrq_trigger+0x51/0x60 skipping write_sysrq_trigger address at 0xffffffff815731a1 due to size mismatch (0x60 != 83) no match for write_sysrq_trigger+0x51/0x60 The problem is caused by differences in how kallsyms and faddr2line determine a function's size. kallsyms calculates a function's size by parsing the output of 'nm -n' and subtracting the next function's address from the current function's address. This means that nop instructions after the end of the function are included in the size. In contrast, faddr2line reads the size from the symbol table, which does *not* include the ending nops in the function's size. Change faddr2line to calculate the size from the output of 'nm -n' to be consistent with kallsyms and oops outputs. Signed-off-by:

These macros were added in the following commit: 86a1c34a ("x86_64 syscall audit fast-path") They were used in two-phase sycalls entry tracing, but this functionality was then moved to the arch/x86/entry/common.c:syscall_trace_enter() function, in the following commit: 1f484aa6 ("x86/entry: Move C entry and exit code to arch/x86/entry/common.c") syscall_trace_enter() now uses the defines from <linux/audit.h>, so these defines entry_64.S are no longer used anywhere.

The value of regs->orig_ax contains potentially useful debugging data: For syscalls it contains the syscall number. For interrupts it contains the (negated) vector number. To reduce noise, print it only if it has a useful value (i.e., something other than -1).

The entry code doesn't encode the pt_regs pointer for syscalls. But the pt_regs are always at the same location, so we can add a manual check for them. A later patch prints them as part of the oops stack dump. They could be useful, for example, to determine the arguments to a system call. Signed-off-by:

With frame pointers, when a task is interrupted, its stack is no longer completely reliable because the function could have been interrupted before it had a chance to save the previous frame pointer on the stack. So the caller of the interrupted function could get skipped by a stack trace. This is problematic for live patching, which needs to know whether a stack trace of a sleeping task can be relied upon. There's currently no way to detect if a sleeping task was interrupted by a page fault exception or preemption before it went to sleep. Another issue is that when dumping the stack of an interrupted task, the unwinder has no way of knowing where the saved pt_regs registers are, so it can't print them. This solves those issues by encoding the pt_regs pointer in the frame pointer on entry from an interrupt or an exception. This patch also updates the unwinder to be able to decode it, because otherwise the unwinder would be broken by this change. Note that this causes a change in the behavior of the unwinder: each instance of a pt_regs on the stack is now considered a "frame". So callers of unwind_get_return_address() will now get an occasional 'regs->ip' address that would have previously been skipped over. Suggested-by:

When core_kernel_text() is used to determine whether an address on a task's stack trace is a kernel text address, it incorrectly returns false for early text addresses for the head code between the _text and _stext markers. Among other things, this can cause the unwinder to behave incorrectly when unwinding to x86 head code. Head code is text code too, so mark it as such. This seems to match the intent of other users of the _stext symbol, and it also seems consistent with what other architectures are already doing. Signed-off-by:

Thanks to all the recent x86 entry code refactoring, most tasks' kernel stacks start at the same offset right below their saved pt_regs, regardless of which syscall was used to enter the kernel. That creates a nice convention which makes it straightforward to identify the end of the stack, which can be useful for the unwinder to verify the stack is sane. However, the boot CPU's idle "swapper" task doesn't follow that convention. Fix that by starting its stack at a sizeof(pt_regs) offset from the end of the stack page. Signed-off-by:

The frame at the end of each idle task stack has a zeroed return address. This is inconsistent with real task stacks, which have a real return address at that spot. This inconsistency can be confusing for stack unwinders. It also hides useful information about what asm code was involved in calling into C. Make it a real address by using the side effect of a call instruction to push the instruction pointer on the stack. Signed-off-by:

There are two different pieces of code for starting a CPU: start_cpu0() and the end of secondary_startup_64(). They're identical except for the stack setup. Combine the common parts into a shared start_cpu() function. Signed-off-by:

On 32-bit kernels, the initial idle stack calculation doesn't take into account the TOP_OF_KERNEL_STACK_PADDING, making the stack end address inconsistent with other tasks on 32-bit. Signed-off-by:

The frame at the end of each idle task stack is inconsistent with real task stacks, which have a stack frame header and a real return address before the pt_regs area. This inconsistency can be confusing for stack unwinders. It also hides useful information about what asm code was involved in calling into C. Fix that by changing the initial code jumps to calls. Also add infinite loops after the calls to make it clear that the calls don't return, and to hang if they do. Signed-off-by:

That creates a nice convention which makes it straightforward to identify the end of the stack, which can be useful for the unwinder to verify the stack is sane. Calling schedule_tail() directly breaks that convention because its an asmlinkage function so its argument has to be pushed on the stack. Add a wrapper which creates a proper "end of stack" frame header before the call. Signed-off-by:

The 'error_code' label is awkwardly named, especially when it shows up in a stack trace. Move it to its own local function and rename it to 'common_exception', analagous to the existing 'common_interrupt'. This also makes related stack traces more sensible. Signed-off-by:

Add the local label prefix to all non-function named labels in head_32.S and entry_32.S. In addition to decluttering the symbol table, it also will help stack traces to be more sensible. For example, the last reported function in the idle task stack trace will be startup_32_smp() instead of is486(). Signed-off-by:

We have a fairly common pattern where you print several things as continuations on one single line in a loop, and then at the end you do printk(KERN_CONT "\n"); to flush the buffered output. But if the output was flushed by something else (concurrent printk activity, or just system logging), we don't want that final flushing to just print an empty line. So just suppress empty continuation lines when they couldn't be merged into the line they are a continuation of. Signed-off-by: -

Merge the gup_flags cleanups from Lorenzo Stoakes: "This patch series adjusts functions in the get_user_pages* family such that desired FOLL_* flags are passed as an argument rather than implied by flags. The purpose of this change is to make the use of FOLL_FORCE explicit so it is easier to grep for and clearer to callers that this flag is being used. The use of FOLL_FORCE is an issue as it overrides missing VM_READ/VM_WRITE flags for the VMA whose pages we are reading from/writing to, which can result in surprising behaviour. The patch series came out of the discussion around commit 38e08854 ("mm: check VMA flags to avoid invalid PROT_NONE NUMA balancing"), which addressed a BUG_ON() being triggered when a page was faulted in with PROT_NONE set but having been overridden by FOLL_FORCE. do_numa_page() was run on the assumption the page _must_ be one marked for NUMA node migration as an actual PROT_NONE page would have been dealt with prior to this code path, however FOLL_FORCE introduced a situation where this assumption did not hold. See https://marc.info/?l=linux-mm&m=147585445805166 for the patch proposal" Additionally, there's a fix for an ancient bug related to FOLL_FORCE and FOLL_WRITE by me. [ This branch was rebased recently to add a few more acked-by's and reviewed-by's ] * gup_flag-cleanups: mm: replace access_process_vm() write parameter with gup_flags mm: replace access_remote_vm() write parameter with gup_flags mm: replace __access_remote_vm() write parameter with gup_flags mm: replace get_user_pages_remote() write/force parameters with gup_flags mm: replace get_user_pages() write/force parameters with gup_flags mm: replace get_vaddr_frames() write/force parameters with gup_flags mm: replace get_user_pages_locked() write/force parameters with gup_flags mm: replace get_user_pages_unlocked() write/force parameters with gup_flags mm: remove write/force parameters from __get_user_pages_unlocked() mm: remove write/force parameters from __get_user_pages_locked() mm: remove gup_flags FOLL_WRITE games from __get_user_pages()

This removes the 'write' argument from access_process_vm() and replaces it with 'gup_flags' as use of this function previously silently implied FOLL_FORCE, whereas after this patch callers explicitly pass this flag. We make this explicit as use of FOLL_FORCE can result in surprising behaviour (and hence bugs) within the mm subsystem. Signed-off-by:
