* | x86: Add RO/NX protection for loadable kernel modulesmatthieu castet2010-11-181-0/+3
|/ | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | This patch is a logical extension of the protection provided by CONFIG_DEBUG_RODATA to LKMs. The protection is provided by splitting module_core and module_init into three logical parts each and setting appropriate page access permissions for each individual section: 1. Code: RO+X 2. RO data: RO+NX 3. RW data: RW+NX In order to achieve proper protection, layout_sections() have been modified to align each of the three parts mentioned above onto page boundary. Next, the corresponding page access permissions are set right before successful exit from load_module(). Further, free_module() and sys_init_module have been modified to set module_core and module_init as RW+NX right before calling module_free(). By default, the original section layout and access flags are preserved. When compiled with CONFIG_DEBUG_SET_MODULE_RONX=y, the patch will page-align each group of sections to ensure that each page contains only one type of content and will enforce RO/NX for each group of pages. -v1: Initial proof-of-concept patch. -v2: The patch have been re-written to reduce the number of #ifdefs and to make it architecture-agnostic. Code formatting has also been corrected. -v3: Opportunistic RO/NX protection is now unconditional. Section page-alignment is enabled when CONFIG_DEBUG_RODATA=y. -v4: Removed most macros and improved coding style. -v5: Changed page-alignment and RO/NX section size calculation -v6: Fixed comments. Restricted RO/NX enforcement to x86 only -v7: Introduced CONFIG_DEBUG_SET_MODULE_RONX, added calls to set_all_modules_text_rw() and set_all_modules_text_ro() in ftrace -v8: updated for compatibility with linux 2.6.33-rc5 -v9: coding style fixes -v10: more coding style fixes -v11: minor adjustments for -tip -v12: minor adjustments for v2.6.35-rc2-tip -v13: minor adjustments for v2.6.37-rc1-tip Signed-off-by: Siarhei Liakh <sliakh.lkml@gmail.com> Signed-off-by: Xuxian Jiang <jiang@cs.ncsu.edu> Acked-by: Arjan van de Ven <arjan@linux.intel.com> Reviewed-by: James Morris <jmorris@namei.org> Signed-off-by: H.

* | ftrace: Remove memory barriers from NMI code when not neededSteven Rostedt2010-02-251-0/+26
|/ | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | The code in stop_machine that modifies the kernel text has a bit of logic to handle the case of NMIs. stop_machine does not prevent NMIs from executing, and if an NMI were to trigger on another CPU as the modifying CPU is changing the NMI text, a GPF could result. To prevent the GPF, the NMI calls ftrace_nmi_enter() which may modify the code first, then any other NMIs will just change the text to the same content which will do no harm. The code that stop_machine called must wait for NMIs to finish while it changes each location in the kernel. That code may also change the text to what the NMI changed it to. The key is that the text will never change content while another CPU is executing it. To make the above work, the call to ftrace_nmi_enter() must also do a smp_mb() as well as atomic_inc(). But for applications like perf that require a high number of NMIs for profiling, this can have a dramatic effect on the system. Not only is it doing a full memory barrier on both nmi_enter() as well as nmi_exit() it is also modifying a global variable with an atomic operation. This kills performance on large SMP machines. Since the memory barriers are only needed when ftrace is in the process of modifying the text (which is seldom), this patch adds a "modifying_code" variable that gets set before stop machine is executed and cleared afterwards. The NMIs will check this variable and store it in a per CPU "save_modifying_code" variable that it will use to check if it needs to do the memory barriers and atomic dec on NMI exit.

* | tracing: Move syscalls metadata handling from arch to coreFrederic Weisbecker2009-10-141-74/+2
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Most of the syscalls metadata processing is done from arch. But these operations are mostly generic accross archs. Especially now that we have a common variable name that expresses the number of syscalls supported by an arch: NR_syscalls, the only remaining bits that need to reside in arch is the syscall nr to addr translation. v2: Compare syscalls symbols only after the "sys" prefix so that we avoid spurious mismatches with archs that have syscalls wrappers, in which case syscalls symbols have "SyS" prefixed aliases.

* function-graph: add stack frame testSteven Rostedt2009-06-181-2/+4
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | In case gcc does something funny with the stack frames, or the return from function code, we would like to detect that. An arch may implement passing of a variable that is unique to the function and can be saved on entering a function and can be tested when exiting the function. Usually the frame pointer can be used for this purpose. This patch also implements this for x86. Where it passes in the stack frame of the parent function, and will test that frame on exit. There was a case in x86_32 with optimize for size (-Os) where, for a few functions, gcc would align the stack frame and place a copy of the return address into it. The function graph tracer modified the copy and not the actual return address. On return from the funtion, it did not go to the tracer hook, but returned to the parent. This broke the function graph tracer, because the return of the parent (where gcc did not do this funky manipulation) returned to the location that the child function was suppose to. This caused strange kernel crashes. This test detected the problem and pointed out where the issue was. This modifies the parameters of one of the functions that the arch specific code calls, so it includes changes to arch code to accommodate the new prototype. Note, I notice that the parsic arch implements its own push_return_trace. This is now a generic function and the ftrace_push_return_trace should be used instead. This patch does not touch that code.

* x86/function-graph: fix constraint for recording old return valueSteven Rostedt2009-05-131-1/+1
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | After upgrading from gcc 4.2.2 to 4.4.0, the function graph tracer broke. Investigating, I found that in the asm that replaces the return value, gcc was using the same register for the old value as it was for the new value. mov (addr), old mov new, (addr) But if old and new are the same register, we clobber new with old! I first thought this was a bug in gcc 4.4.0 and reported it: http://gcc.gnu.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=40132 Andrew Pinski responded (quickly), saying that it was correct gcc behavior and the code needed to denote old as an "early clobber". Instead of "=r"(old), we need "=&r"(old). [Impact: keep function graph tracer from breaking with gcc 4.4.0 ] Signed-off-by: Steven Rostedt <rostedt@goodmis.org>

| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Impact: fix to prevent NMI lockup If the page fault handler produces a WARN_ON in the modifying of text, and the system is setup to have a high frequency of NMIs, we can lock up the system on a failure to modify code. The modifying of code with NMIs allows all NMIs to modify the code if it is about to run. This prevents a modifier on one CPU from modifying code running in NMI context on another CPU. The modifying is done through stop_machine, so only NMIs must be considered. But if the write causes the page fault handler to produce a warning, the print can slow it down enough that as soon as it is done it will take another NMI before going back to the process context. The new NMI will perform the write again causing another print and this will hang the box. This patch turns off the writing as soon as a failure is detected and does not wait for it to be turned off by the process context.

| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Impact: keep kernel text read only Because dynamic ftrace converts the calls to mcount into and out of nops at run time, we needed to always keep the kernel text writable. But this defeats the point of CONFIG_DEBUG_RODATA. This patch converts the kernel code to writable before ftrace modifies the text, and converts it back to read only afterward. The kernel text is converted to read/write, stop_machine is called to modify the code, then the kernel text is converted back to read only. The original version used SYSTEM_STATE to determine when it was OK or not to change the code to rw or ro. Andrew Morton pointed out that using SYSTEM_STATE is a bad idea since there is no guarantee to what its state will actually be. Instead, I moved the check into the set_kernel_text_* functions themselves, and use a local variable to determine when it is OK to change the kernel text RW permissions.

| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Impact: fix to prevent a kernel crash on fault If for some reason the pointer to the parent function on the stack takes a fault, the fix up code will not return back to the original faulting code. This can lead to unpredictable results and perhaps even a kernel panic. A fault should not happen, but if it does, we should simply disable the tracer, warn, and continue running the kernel.

| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | The function graph tracer piggy backed onto the dynamic ftracer to use the in_nmi custom code for dynamic tracing. The problem was (as Andrew Morton pointed out) it really only wanted to bail out if the context of the current CPU was in NMI context. But the dynamic ftrace in_nmi custom code was true if _any_ CPU happened to be in NMI context. Now that we have a generic in_nmi interface, this patch changes the function graph code to use it instead of the dynamic ftarce custom code.

* | ring-buffer: add NMI protection for spinlocksSteven Rostedt2009-02-071-4/+4

When a writer crosses a page, it grabs a per cpu spinlock to protect against a reader. The spinlocks taken by a writer are not to protect against other writers, since a writer can only write to its own per cpu buffer. The spinlocks protect against readers that can touch any cpu buffer. The writers are made to be reentrant with the spinlocks disabling interrupts. The problem arises when an NMI writes to the buffer, and that write crosses a page boundary. If it grabs a spinlock, it can be racing with another writer (since disabling interrupts does not protect against NMIs) or with a reader on the same CPU. Luckily, most of the users are not reentrant and protects against this issue. But if a user of the ring buffer becomes reentrant (which is what the ring buffers do allow), if the NMI also writes to the ring buffer then we risk the chance of a deadlock. This patch moves the ftrace_nmi_enter called by nmi_enter() to the ring buffer code. It replaces the current ftrace_nmi_enter that is used by arch specific code to arch_ftrace_nmi_enter and updates the Kconfig to handle it. When an NMI is called, it will set a per cpu variable in the ring buffer code and will clear it when the NMI exits. If a write to the ring buffer crosses page boundaries inside an NMI, a trylock is used on the spin lock instead. If the spinlock fails to be acquired, then the entry is discarded. This bug appeared in the ftrace work in the RT tree, where event tracing is reentrant. This workaround solved the deadlocks that appeared there. Signed-off-by: Steven Rostedt <srostedt@redhat.com>

| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Impact: new ftrace_graph_stop function While developing more features of function graph, I hit a bug that caused the WARN_ON to trigger in the prepare_ftrace_return function. Well, it was hard for me to find out that was happening because the bug would not print, it would just cause a hard lockup or reboot. The reason is that it is not safe to call printk from this function. Looking further, I also found that it calls unregister_ftrace_graph, which grabs a mutex and calls kstop machine. This would definitely lock the box up if it were to trigger. This patch adds a fast and safe ftrace_graph_stop() which will stop the function tracer. Then it is safe to call the WARN ON.

* tracing/function-graph-tracer: support for x86-64Frederic Weisbecker2008-12-021-1/+10
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Impact: extend and enable the function graph tracer to 64-bit x86 This patch implements the support for function graph tracer under x86-64. Both static and dynamic tracing are supported. This causes some small CPP conditional asm on arch/x86/kernel/ftrace.c I wanted to use probe_kernel_read/write to make the return address saving/patching code more generic but it causes tracing recursion. That would be perhaps useful to implement a notrace version of these function for other archs ports. Note that arch/x86/process_64.c is not traced, as in X86-32. I first thought __switch_to() was responsible of crashes during tracing because I believed current task were changed inside but that's actually not the case (actually yes, but not the "current" pointer). So I will have to investigate to find the functions that harm here, to enable tracing of the other functions inside (but there is no issue at this time, while process_64.c stays out of -pg flags). A little possible race condition is fixed inside this patch too. When the tracer allocate a return stack dynamically, the current depth is not initialized before but after. An interrupt could occur at this time and, after seeing that the return stack is allocated, the tracer could try to trace it with a random uninitialized depth. It's a prevention, even if I hadn't problems with it.

For this aim, we now call two handler for each function: one on the entry and one other on return. This way we can draw a well-ordered call stack. The pid of the previous trace is loosely stored to be compared against the one of the current trace to see if there were a context switch. Without this little feature, the call tree would seem broken at some locations. We could use the sched_tracer to capture these sched_events but this way of processing is much more simpler. 2 spaces have been chosen for indentation to fit the screen while deep calls. The time of execution in nanosecs is printed just after closed braces, it seems more easy this way to find the corresponding function. If the time was printed as a first column, it would be not so easy to find the corresponding function if it is called on a deep depth. I plan to output the return value but on 32 bits CPU, the return value can be 32 or 64, and its difficult to guess on which case we are. I don't know what would be the better solution on X86-32: only print eax (low-part) or even edx (high-part). Actually it's thee same problem when a function return a 8 bits value, the high part of eax could contain junk values...
