This patch adds full support to read PDT info on all machine types. At bootup the PDT is read and bad memory excluded from usage via memblock_reserve(). Later in the boot process a kernel thread is started (kpdtd) which regularily checks firmare for new reported bad memory and tries to soft offline pages in case of correctable errors and to kill processes and exclude such memory in case of uncorrectable errors via memory_failure().

The 'move_paghes()' system call was introduced long long ago with the same permission checks as for sending a signal (except using CAP_SYS_NICE instead of CAP_SYS_KILL for the overriding capability). That turns out to not be a great choice - while the system call really only moves physical page allocations around (and you need other capabilities to do a lot of it), you can check the return value to map out some the virtual address choices and defeat ASLR of a binary that still shares your uid. So change the access checks to the more common 'ptrace_may_access()' model instead. This tightens the access checks for the uid, and also effectively changes the CAP_SYS_NICE check to CAP_SYS_PTRACE, but it's unlikely that anybody really _uses_ this legacy system call any more (we hav ebetter NUMA placement models these days), so I expect nobody to notice. Famous last words. Reported-by:

Moving the x86_64 and arm64 PIE base from 0x555555554000 to 0x000100000000 broke AddressSanitizer. This is a partial revert of: eab09532 ("binfmt_elf: use ELF_ET_DYN_BASE only for PIE") 02445990 ("arm64: move ELF_ET_DYN_BASE to 4GB / 4MB") The AddressSanitizer tool has hard-coded expectations about where executable mappings are loaded. The motivation for changing the PIE base in the above commits was to avoid the Stack-Clash CVEs that allowed executable mappings to get too close to heap and stack. This was mainly a problem on 32-bit, but the 64-bit bases were moved too, in an effort to proactively protect those systems (proofs of concept do exist that show 64-bit collisions, but other recent changes to fix stack accounting and setuid behaviors will minimize the impact). The new 32-bit PIE base is fine for ASan (since it matches the ET_EXEC base), so only the 64-bit PIE base needs to be reverted to let x86 and arm64 ASan binaries run again. Future changes to the 64-bit PIE base on these architectures can be made optional once a more dynamic method for dealing with AddressSanitizer is found. (e.g. always loading PIE into the mmap region for marked binaries.)

name[] in cma_debugfs_add_one() can only accommodate 16 chars including NULL to store sprintf output. It's common for cma device name to be larger than 15 chars. This can cause stack corrpution. If the gcc stack protector is turned on, this can cause a panic due to stack corruption. Below is one example trace: Kernel panic - not syncing: stack-protector: Kernel stack is corrupted in: ffffff8e69a75730 Call trace: dump_backtrace+0x0/0x2c4 show_stack+0x20/0x28 dump_stack+0xb8/0xf4 panic+0x154/0x2b0 print_tainted+0x0/0xc0 cma_debugfs_init+0x274/0x290 do_one_initcall+0x5c/0x168 kernel_init_freeable+0x1c8/0x280 Fix the short sprintf buffer in cma_debugfs_add_one() by using scnprintf() instead of sprintf().

When forcing a signal, SIGNAL_UNKILLABLE is removed to prevent recursive faults, but this is undesirable when tracing. For example, debugging an init process (whether global or namespace), hitting a breakpoint and SIGTRAP will force SIGTRAP and then remove SIGNAL_UNKILLABLE. Everything continues fine, but then once debugging has finished, the init process is left killable which is unlikely what the user expects, resulting in either an accidentally killed init or an init that stops reaping zombies.

Wenwei Tao has noticed that our current assumption that the oom victim is dying and never doing any visible changes after it dies, and so the oom_reaper can tear it down, is not entirely true. __task_will_free_mem consider a task dying when SIGNAL_GROUP_EXIT is set but do_group_exit sends SIGKILL to all threads _after_ the flag is set. So there is a race window when some threads won't have fatal_signal_pending while the oom_reaper could start unmapping the address space. Moreover some paths might not check for fatal signals before each PF/g-u-p/copy_from_user. We already have a protection for oom_reaper vs. PF races by checking MMF_UNSTABLE. This has been, however, checked only for kernel threads (use_mm users) which can outlive the oom victim. A simple fix would be to extend the current check in handle_mm_fault for all tasks but that wouldn't be sufficient because the current check assumes that a kernel thread would bail out after EFAULT from get_user*/copy_from_user and never re-read the same address which would succeed because the PF path has established page tables already. This seems to be the case for the only existing use_mm user currently (virtio driver) but it is rather fragile in general. This is even more fragile in general for more complex paths such as generic_perform_write which can re-read the same address more times (e.g. iov_iter_copy_from_user_atomic to fail and then iov_iter_fault_in_readable on retry). Therefore we have to implement MMF_UNSTABLE protection in a robust way and never make a potentially corrupted content visible. That requires to hook deeper into the PF path and check for the flag _every time_ before a pte for anonymous memory is established (that means all !VM_SHARED mappings). The corruption can be triggered artificially (http://lkml.kernel.org/r/201708040646.v746kkhC024636@www262.sakura.ne.jp) but there doesn't seem to be any real life bug report. The race window should be quite tight to trigger most of the time.

To avoid a possible deadlock, sysfs_slab_remove() schedules an asynchronous work to delete sysfs entries corresponding to the kmem cache. To ensure the cache isn't freed before the work function is called, it takes a reference to the cache kobject. The reference is supposed to be released by the work function. However, the work function (sysfs_slab_remove_workfn()) does nothing in case the cache sysfs entry has already been deleted, leaking the kobject and the corresponding cache. This may happen on a per memcg cache destruction, because sysfs entries of a per memcg cache are deleted on memcg offline if the cache is empty (see __kmemcg_cache_deactivate()). The kmemleak report looks like this: unreferenced object 0xffff9f798a79f540 (size 32): comm "kworker/1:4", pid 15416, jiffies 4307432429 (age 28687.554s) hex dump (first 32 bytes): 6b 6d 61 6c 6c 6f 63 2d 31 36 28 31 35 39 39 3a kmalloc-16(1599: 6e 65 77 72 6f 6f 74 29 00 23 6b c0 ff ff ff ff newroot).#k..... backtrace: kmemleak_alloc+0x4a/0xa0 __kmalloc_track_caller+0x148/0x2c0 kvasprintf+0x66/0xd0 kasprintf+0x49/0x70 memcg_create_kmem_cache+0xe6/0x160 memcg_kmem_cache_create_func+0x20/0x110 process_one_work+0x205/0x5d0 worker_thread+0x4e/0x3a0 kthread+0x109/0x140 ret_from_fork+0x2a/0x40 unreferenced object 0xffff9f79b6136840 (size 416): comm "kworker/1:4", pid 15416, jiffies 4307432429 (age 28687.573s) hex dump (first 32 bytes): 40 fb 80 c2 3e 33 00 00 00 00 00 40 00 00 00 00 @...>3.....@.... 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 10 00 00 00 10 00 00 00 ................ backtrace: kmemleak_alloc+0x4a/0xa0 kmem_cache_alloc+0x128/0x280 create_cache+0x3b/0x1e0 memcg_create_kmem_cache+0x118/0x160 memcg_kmem_cache_create_func+0x20/0x110 process_one_work+0x205/0x5d0 worker_thread+0x4e/0x3a0 kthread+0x109/0x140 ret_from_fork+0x2a/0x40 Fix the leak by adding the missing call to kobject_put() to sysfs_slab_remove_workfn().

There is existing use after free bug when deferred struct pages are enabled: The memblock_add() allocates memory for the memory array if more than 128 entries are needed. See comment in e820__memblock_setup(): * The bootstrap memblock region count maximum is 128 entries * (INIT_MEMBLOCK_REGIONS), but EFI might pass us more E820 entries * than that - so allow memblock resizing. This memblock memory is freed here: free_low_memory_core_early() We access the freed memblock.memory later in boot when deferred pages are initialized in this path: deferred_init_memmap() for_each_mem_pfn_range() __next_mem_pfn_range() type = &memblock.memory; One possible explanation for why this use-after-free hasn't been hit before is that the limit of INIT_MEMBLOCK_REGIONS has never been exceeded at least on systems where deferred struct pages were enabled. Tested by reducing INIT_MEMBLOCK_REGIONS down to 4 from the current 128, and verifying in qemu that this code is getting excuted and that the freed pages are sane.

Recursive loops with module loading were previously handled in kmod by restricting the number of modprobe calls to 50 and if that limit was breached request_module() would return an error and a user would see the following on their kernel dmesg: request_module: runaway loop modprobe binfmt-464c Starting init:/sbin/init exists but couldn't execute it (error -8) This issue could happen for instance when a 64-bit kernel boots a 32-bit userspace on some architectures and has no 32-bit binary format hanlders. This is visible, for instance, when a CONFIG_MODULES enabled 64-bit MIPS kernel boots a into o32 root filesystem and the binfmt handler for o32 binaries is not built-in. After commit 6d7964a7 ("kmod: throttle kmod thread limit") we now don't have any visible signs of an error and the kernel just waits for the loop to end somehow. Although this *particular* recursive loop could also be addressed by doing a sanity check on search_binary_handler() and disallowing a modular binfmt to be required for modprobe, a generic solution for any recursive kernel kmod issues is still needed. This should catch these loops. We can investigate each loop and address each one separately as they come in, this however puts a stop gap for them as before.

These are the few pending fixes I have queued up for v4.13-final. One is a a generic regression fix for recursive loops on kmod and the other one is a trivial print out correction. During the v4.13 development we assumed that recursive kmod loops were no longer possible. Clearly that is not true. The regression fix makes use of a new killable wait. We use a killable wait to be paranoid in how signals might be sent to modprobe and only accept a proper SIGKILL. The signal will only be available to userspace to issue *iff* a thread has already entered a wait state, and that happens only if we've already throttled after 50 kmod threads have been hit. Note that although it may seem excessive to trigger a failure afer 5 seconds if all kmod thread remain busy, prior to the series of changes that went into v4.13 we would actually *always* fatally fail any request which came in if the limit was already reached. The new waiting implemented in v4.13 actually gives us *more* breathing room -- the wait for 5 seconds is a wait for *any* kmod thread to finish. We give up and fail *iff* no kmod thread has finished and they're *all* running straight for 5 consecutive seconds. If 50 kmod threads are running consecutively for 5 seconds something else must be really bad. Recursive loops with kmod are bad but they're also hard to implement properly as a selftest without currently fooling current userspace tools like kmod [1]. For instance kmod will complain when you run depmod if it finds a recursive loop with symbol dependency between modules as such this type of recursive loop cannot go upstream as the modules_install target will fail after running depmod. These tests already exist on userspace kmod upstream though (refer to the testsuite/module-playground/mod-loop-*.c files). The same is not true if request_module() is used though, or worst if aliases are used. Likewise the issue with 64-bit kernels booting 32-bit userspace without a binfmt handler built-in is also currently not detected and proactively avoided by userspace kmod tools, or kconfig for all architectures. Although we could complain in the kernel when some of these individual recursive issues creep up, proactively avoiding these situations in userspace at build time is what we should keep striving for. Lastly, since recursive loops could happen with kmod it may mean recursive loops may also be possible with other kernel usermode helpers, this should be investigated and long term if we can come up with a more sensible generic solution even better!

Commit 05a4a952 ("kernel/watchdog: split up config options") lost the perf-based hardlockup detector's dependency on PERF_EVENTS, which can result in broken builds with some powerpc configurations. Restore the dependency. Add it in for x86 too, despite x86 always selecting PERF_EVENTS it seems reasonable to make the dependency explicit.

The stat functions looking up the page's node or zone are safe, as those attributes are static across allocation and free cycles. But page->mem_cgroup is not, and it will get cleared if we race with truncation or migration. It appears this race window has been around for a while, but less likely to trigger when the memcg stats were updated first thing after PG_writeback is cleared. Recent changes reshuffled this code to update the global node stats before the memcg ones, though, stretching the race window out to an extent where people can reproduce the problem. Update test_clear_page_writeback() to look up and pin page->mem_cgroup before clearing PG_writeback, then not use that pointer afterward. It is a partial revert of 62cccb8c ("mm: simplify lock_page_memcg()") but leaves the pageref-holding callsites that aren't affected alone.
