I do my best to document that if you care about limiting your unprivileged users that when you have the user namespace support enabled you will need to enable memory control groups. There is a minor bug fix to prevent overflowing the stack if someone creates way too many user namespaces. The bulk of the changes are a continuation of the kuid/kgid push down work through the filesystems. These changes make using uids and gids typesafe which ensures that these filesystems are safe to use when multiple user namespaces are in use. The filesystems converted for 3.9 are ceph, 9p, afs, ocfs2, gfs2, ncpfs, nfs, nfsd, and cifs. The changes for these filesystems were a little more involved so I split the changes into smaller hopefully obviously correct changes. XFS is the only filesystem that remains. I was hoping I could get that in this release so that user namespace support would be enabled with an allyesconfig or an allmodconfig but it looks like the xfs changes need another couple of days before it they are ready." * 'for-linus' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/ebiederm/user-namespace: (93 commits) cifs: Enable building with user namespaces enabled. cifs: Convert struct cifs_ses to use a kuid_t and a kgid_t cifs: Convert struct cifs_sb_info to use kuids and kgids cifs: Modify struct smb_vol to use kuids and kgids cifs: Convert struct cifsFileInfo to use a kuid cifs: Convert struct cifs_fattr to use kuid and kgids cifs: Convert struct tcon_link to use a kuid. cifs: Modify struct cifs_unix_set_info_args to hold a kuid_t and a kgid_t cifs: Convert from a kuid before printing current_fsuid cifs: Use kuids and kgids SID to uid/gid mapping cifs: Pass GLOBAL_ROOT_UID and GLOBAL_ROOT_GID to keyring_alloc cifs: Use BUILD_BUG_ON to validate uids and gids are the same size cifs: Override unmappable incoming uids and gids nfsd: Enable building with user namespaces enabled. nfsd: Properly compare and initialize kuids and kgids nfsd: Store ex_anon_uid and ex_anon_gid as kuids and kgids nfsd: Modify nfsd4_cb_sec to use kuids and kgids nfsd: Handle kuids and kgids in the nfs4acl to posix_acl conversion nfsd: Convert nfsxdr to use kuids and kgids nfsd: Convert nfs3xdr to use kuids and kgids ...
| * | userns: Allow any uid or gid mappings that don't overlap.Eric W. Biederman2013-01-261-6/+39
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | When I initially wrote the code for /proc/<pid>/uid_map. I was lazy and avoided duplicate mappings by the simple expedient of ensuring the first number in a new extent was greater than any number in the previous extent. Unfortunately that precludes a number of valid mappings, and someone noticed and complained. So use a simple check to ensure that ranges in the mapping extents don't overlap.

| * | userns: Avoid recursion in put_user_nsEric W. Biederman2013-01-262-11/+10
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | When freeing a deeply nested user namespace free_user_ns calls put_user_ns on it's parent which may in turn call free_user_ns again. When -fno-optimize-sibling-calls is passed to gcc one stack frame per user namespace is left on the stack, potentially overflowing the kernel stack. CONFIG_FRAME_POINTER forces -fno-optimize-sibling-calls so we can't count on gcc to optimize this code. Remove struct kref and use a plain atomic_t. Making the code more flexible and easier to comprehend. Make the loop in free_user_ns explict to guarantee that the stack does not overflow with CONFIG_FRAME_POINTER enabled. I have tested this fix with a simple program that uses unshare to create a deeply nested user namespace structure and then calls exit. With 1000 nesteuser namespaces before this change running my test program causes the kernel to die a horrible death. With 10,000,000 nested user namespaces after this change my test program runs to completion and causes no harm.

This return condition can be further exploited to quickly come out of PLE handler.

As a result, cpumask_of_node(nid) will return NULL. In this case, find_next_bit() in for_each_cpu will get a NULL pointer and cause panic. Here is a call trace: Call Trace: <IRQ> select_fallback_rq+0x71/0x190 try_to_wake_up+0x2cb/0x2f0 wake_up_process+0x15/0x20 hrtimer_wakeup+0x22/0x30 __run_hrtimer+0x83/0x320 hrtimer_interrupt+0x106/0x280 smp_apic_timer_interrupt+0x69/0x99 apic_timer_interrupt+0x6f/0x80 There is a hrtimer process sleeping, whose cpu has already been offlined. When it is waken up, it tries to find another cpu to run, and get a -1 nid. As a result, cpumask_of_node(-1) returns NULL, and causes ernel panic. This patch fixes this problem by judging if the nid is -1. If nid is not -1, a cpu on the same node will be picked. Else, a online cpu on another node will be picked.

The *really* big items are two humonguous patchsets mostly developed by Yinghai Lu at my request, which completely revamps the way we create initial page tables. In particular, rather than estimating how much memory we will need for page tables and then build them into that memory -- a calculation that has shown to be incredibly fragile -- we now build them (on 64 bits) with the aid of a "pseudo-linear mode" -- a #PF handler which creates temporary page tables on demand. This has several advantages: 1. It makes it much easier to support things that need access to data very early (a followon patchset uses this to load microcode way early in the kernel startup). 2. It allows the kernel and all the kernel data objects to be invoked from above the 4 GB limit. This allows kdump to work on very large systems. 3. It greatly reduces the difference between Xen and native (Xen's equivalent of the #PF handler are the temporary page tables created by the domain builder), eliminating a bunch of fragile hooks. The patch series also gets us a bit closer to W^X. Additional work in this pull is the 64-bit get_user() work which you were also involved with, and a bunch of cleanups/speedups to __phys_addr()/__pa()." * 'x86-mm-for-linus' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/tip/tip: (105 commits) x86, mm: Move reserving low memory later in initialization x86, doc: Clarify the use of asm("%edx") in uaccess.h x86, mm: Redesign get_user with a __builtin_choose_expr hack x86: Be consistent with data size in getuser.S x86, mm: Use a bitfield to mask nuisance get_user() warnings x86/kvm: Fix compile warning in kvm_register_steal_time() x86-32: Add support for 64bit get_user() x86-32, mm: Remove reference to alloc_remap() x86-32, mm: Remove reference to resume_map_numa_kva() x86-32, mm: Rip out x86_32 NUMA remapping code x86/numa: Use __pa_nodebug() instead x86: Don't panic if can not alloc buffer for swiotlb mm: Add alloc_bootmem_low_pages_nopanic() x86, 64bit, mm: hibernate use generic mapping_init x86, 64bit, mm: Mark data/bss/brk to nx x86: Merge early kernel reserve for 32bit and 64bit x86: Add Crash kernel low reservation x86, kdump: Remove crashkernel range find limit for 64bit memblock: Add memblock_mem_size() x86, boot: Not need to check setup_header version for setup_data ...

We need to add another range in /proc/iomem like "Crash kernel low", so kexec-tools could find that info and append to kdump kernel command line. Try to reserve some under 4G if the normal "Crash kernel" is above 4G. User could specify the size with crashkernel_low=XX[KMG]. -v2: fix warning that is found by Fengguang's test robot. -v3: move out get_mem_size change to another patch, to solve compiling warning that is found by Borislav Petkov <bp@alien8.de> -v4: user must specify crashkernel_low if system does not support intel or amd iommu.

The workload has 10 threads, each thread sequentially accesses separate memory region. TLB flush overhead is very big in the workload. For each page, page reclaim need move it from active lru list and then unmap it. Both need a TLB flush. And this is a multthread workload, TLB flush happens in 10 CPUs. In X86, TLB flush uses generic smp_call)function. So this workload stress smp_call_function_many heavily. Without patch, perf shows: + 24.49% [k] generic_smp_call_function_interrupt - 21.72% [k] _raw_spin_lock - _raw_spin_lock + 79.80% __page_check_address + 6.42% generic_smp_call_function_interrupt + 3.31% get_swap_page + 2.37% free_pcppages_bulk + 1.75% handle_pte_fault + 1.54% put_super + 1.41% grab_super_passive + 1.36% __swap_duplicate + 0.68% blk_flush_plug_list + 0.62% swap_info_get + 6.55% [k] flush_tlb_func + 6.46% [k] smp_call_function_many + 5.09% [k] call_function_interrupt + 4.75% [k] default_send_IPI_mask_sequence_phys + 2.18% [k] find_next_bit swapout throughput is around 1300M/s. With the patch, perf shows: - 27.23% [k] _raw_spin_lock - _raw_spin_lock + 80.53% __page_check_address + 8.39% generic_smp_call_function_single_interrupt + 2.44% get_swap_page + 1.76% free_pcppages_bulk + 1.40% handle_pte_fault + 1.15% __swap_duplicate + 1.05% put_super + 0.98% grab_super_passive + 0.86% blk_flush_plug_list + 0.57% swap_info_get + 8.25% [k] default_send_IPI_mask_sequence_phys + 7.55% [k] call_function_interrupt + 7.47% [k] smp_call_function_many + 7.25% [k] flush_tlb_func + 3.81% [k] _raw_spin_lock_irqsave + 3.78% [k] generic_smp_call_function_single_interrupt swapout throughput is around 1400M/s. So there is around a 7% improvement, and total cpu utilization doesn't change. Without the patch, cfd_data is shared by all CPUs. generic_smp_call_function_interrupt does read/write cfd_data several times which will create a lot of cache ping-pong. With the patch, the data becomes per-cpu. The ping-pong is avoided. And from the perf data, this doesn't make call_single_queue lock contend. Next step is to remove generic_smp_call_function_interrupt() from arch code.
