      kprobes/x86: Check for invalid ftrace location in __recover_probed_insn() · 2a6730c8
      Petr Mladek authored
      __recover_probed_insn() should always be called from an address
      where an instructions starts. The check for ftrace_location()
      might help to discover a potential inconsistency.
      
      This patch adds WARN_ON() when the inconsistency is detected.
      Also it adds handling of the situation when the original code
      can not get recovered.

      kprobes/x86: Use 5-byte NOP when the code might be modified by ftrace · 650b7b23
      Petr Mladek authored
      can_probe() checks if the given address points to the beginning
      of an instruction. It analyzes all the instructions from the
      beginning of the function until the given address. The code
      might be modified by another Kprobe. In this case, the current
      code is read into a buffer, int3 breakpoint is replaced by the
      saved opcode in the buffer, and can_probe() analyzes the buffer
      instead.
      
      There is a bug that __recover_probed_insn() tries to restore
      the original code even for Kprobes using the ftrace framework.
      But in this case, the opcode is not stored. See the difference
      between arch_prepare_kprobe() and arch_prepare_kprobe_ftrace().
      The opcode is stored by arch_copy_kprobe() only from
      arch_prepare_kprobe().
      
      This patch makes Kprobe to use the ideal 5-byte NOP when the
      code can be modified by ftrace. It is the original instruction,
      see ftrace_make_nop() and ftrace_nop_replace().
      
      Note that we always need to use the NOP for ftrace locations.
      Kprobes do not block ftrace and the instruction might get
      modified at anytime. It might even be in an inconsistent state
      because it is modified step by step using the int3 breakpoint.
      
      The patch also fixes indentation of the touched comment.
      
      Note that I found this problem when playing with Kprobes. I did
      it on x86_64 with gcc-4.8.3 that supported -mfentry. I modified
      samples/kprobes/kprobe_example.c and added offset 5 to put
      the probe right after the fentry area:
      
       static struct kprobe kp = {
       	.symbol_name	= "do_fork",
      +	.offset = 5,
       };
      
      Then I was able to load kprobe_example before jprobe_example
      but not the other way around:
      
        $> modprobe jprobe_example
        $> modprobe kprobe_example
        modprobe: ERROR: could not insert 'kprobe_example': Invalid or incomplete multibyte or wide character
      
      It did not make much sense and debugging pointed to the bug
      described above.

      random: Fix fast_mix() function · 19acc77a
      George Spelvin authored
      There was a bad typo in commit 43759d4f ("random: use an improved
      fast_mix() function") and I didn't notice because it "looked right", so
      I saw what I expected to see when I reviewed it.
      
      Only months later did I look and notice it's not the Threefish-inspired
      mix function that I had designed and optimized.
      
      Mea Culpa.  Each input bit still has a chance to affect each output bit,
      and the fast pool is spilled *long* before it fills, so it's not a total
      disaster, but it's definitely not the intended great improvement.
      
      I'm still working on finding better rotation constants.  These are good
      enough, but since it's unrolled twice, it's possible to get better
      mixing for free by using eight different constants rather than repeating
      the same four.

      Pull ftrace fixes from Steven Rostedt:
       "During testing Sedat Dilek hit a "suspicious RCU usage" splat that
        pointed out a real bug.  During suspend and resume the tlb_flush
        tracepoint is called when the CPU is going offline.  As the CPU has
        been noted as offline, RCU is ignoring that CPU, which means that it
        can not use RCU protected locks.  When tracepoints are activated, they
        require RCU locking, and if RCU is ignoring a CPU that runs a
        tracepoint, there is a chance that the tracepoint could cause
        corruption.
      
        The solution was to change the tracepoint into a
        TRACE_EVENT_CONDITION() which allows us to check a condition to
        determine if the tracepoint should be called or not.  If the condition
        is not met, the rcu protected code will not be executed.  By adding
        the condition "cpu_online(smp_processor_id())", this will prevent the
        RCU protected code from being executed if the CPU is marked offline.
      
        After adding this, another bug was discovered.  As RCU checks rcu
        callers, if a rcu call is not done, there is no check (obviously).  We
        found that tracepoints could be added in RCU ignored locations and not
        have lockdep complain until the tracepoint is activated.  This missed
        places where tracepoints were added in places they should not have
        been.  To fix this, code was added in 3.18 that if lockdep is enabled,
        any tracepoint will still call the rcu checks even if the tracepoint
        is not enabled.  The bug here, is that the check does not take the
        CONDITION into account.  As the condition may prevent tracepoints from
        being activated in RCU ignored areas (as the one patch does), we get
        false positives when we enable lockdep and hit a tracepoint that the
        condition prevents it from being called in a RCU ignored location.
      
        The fix for this is to add the CONDITION to the rcu checks, even if
        the tracepoint is not enabled"
