* panic: add an option to replay all the printk message in bufferFeng Tang2019-05-181-0/+1
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Currently on panic, kernel will lower the loglevel and print out pending printk msg only with console_flush_on_panic(). Add an option for users to configure the "panic_print" to replay all dmesg in buffer, some of which they may have never seen due to the loglevel setting, which will help panic debugging .

| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Add a new command-line option "xen_timer_slop=<INT>" that sets the minimum delta of virtual Xen timers. This commit does not change the default timer slop value for virtual Xen timers. Lowering the timer slop value should improve the accuracy of virtual timers (e.g., better process dispatch latency), but it will likely increase the number of virtual timer interrupts (relative to the original slop setting). The original timer slop value has not changed since the introduction of the Xen-aware Linux kernel code. This commit provides users an opportunity to tune timer performance given the refinements to hardware and the Xen event channel processing. It also mirrors a feature in the Xen hypervisor - the "timer_slop" Xen command line option.

* | ipc: allow boot time extension of IPCMNI from 32k to 16MWaiman Long2019-05-141-0/+3
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | The maximum number of unique System V IPC identifiers was limited to 32k. That limit should be big enough for most use cases. However, there are some users out there requesting for more, especially those that are migrating from Solaris which uses 24 bits for unique identifiers. To satisfy the need of those users, a new boot time kernel option "ipcmni_extend" is added to extend the IPCMNI value to 16M. This is a 512X increase which should be big enough for users out there that need a large number of unique IPC identifier. The use of this new option will change the pattern of the IPC identifiers returned by functions like shmget(2). An application that depends on such pattern may not work properly. So it should only be used if the users really need more than 32k of unique IPC numbers. This new option does have the side effect of reducing the maximum number of unique sequence numbers from 64k down to 128. So it is a trade-off. The computation of a new IPC id is not done in the performance critical path. So a little bit of additional overhead shouldn't have any real performance impact.

* | mm: shuffle initial free memory to improve memory-side-cache utilizationDan Williams2019-05-141-0/+10

This patch (of 3): Randomization of the page allocator improves the average utilization of a direct-mapped memory-side-cache. Memory side caching is a platform capability that Linux has been previously exposed to in HPC (high-performance computing) environments on specialty platforms. In that instance it was a smaller pool of high-bandwidth-memory relative to higher-capacity / lower-bandwidth DRAM. Now, this capability is going to be found on general purpose server platforms where DRAM is a cache in front of higher latency persistent memory [1]. Robert offered an explanation of the state of the art of Linux interactions with memory-side-caches [2], and I copy it here: It's been a problem in the HPC space: http://www.nersc.gov/research-and-development/knl-cache-mode-performance-coe/ A kernel module called zonesort is available to try to help: https://software.intel.com/en-us/articles/xeon-phi-software and this abandoned patch series proposed that for the kernel: https://lkml.kernel.org/r/20170823100205.17311-1-lukasz.daniluk@intel.com Dan's patch series doesn't attempt to ensure buffers won't conflict, but also reduces the chance that the buffers will. This will make performance more consistent, albeit slower than "optimal" (which is near impossible to attain in a general-purpose kernel). That's better than forcing users to deploy remedies like: "To eliminate this gradual degradation, we have added a Stream measurement to the Node Health Check that follows each job; nodes are rebooted whenever their measured memory bandwidth falls below 300 GB/s." A replacement for zonesort was merged upstream in commit cc9aec03e58f ("x86/numa_emulation: Introduce uniform split capability"). With this numa_emulation capability, memory can be split into cache sized ("near-memory" sized) numa nodes. A bind operation to such a node, and disabling workloads on other nodes, enables full cache performance. However, once the workload exceeds the cache size then cache conflicts are unavoidable. While HPC environments might be able to tolerate time-scheduling of cache sized workloads, for general purpose server platforms, the oversubscribed cache case will be the common case. The worst case scenario is that a server system owner benchmarks a workload at boot with an un-contended cache only to see that performance degrade over time, even below the average cache performance due to excessive conflicts. Randomization clips the peaks and fills in the valleys of cache utilization to yield steady average performance. Here are some performance impact details of the patches: 1/ An Intel internal synthetic memory bandwidth measurement tool, saw a 3X speedup in a contrived case that tries to force cache conflicts. The contrived cased used the numa_emulation capability to force an instance of the benchmark to be run in two of the near-memory sized numa nodes. If both instances were placed on the same emulated they would fit and cause zero conflicts. While on separate emulated nodes without randomization they underutilized the cache and conflicted unnecessarily due to the in-order allocation per node. 2/ A well known Java server application benchmark was run with a heap size that exceeded cache size by 3X. The cache conflict rate was 8% for the first run and degraded to 21% after page allocator aging. With randomization enabled the rate levelled out at 11%. 3/ A MongoDB workload did not observe measurable difference in cache-conflict rates, but the overall throughput dropped by 7% with randomization in one case. 4/ Mel Gorman ran his suite of performance workloads with randomization enabled on platforms without a memory-side-cache and saw a mix of some improvements and some losses [3]. While there is potentially significant improvement for applications that depend on low latency access across a wide working-set, the performance may be negligible to negative for other workloads. For this reason the shuffle capability defaults to off unless a direct-mapped memory-side-cache is detected. Even then, the page_alloc.shuffle=0 parameter can be specified to disable the randomization on those systems. Outside of memory-side-cache utilization concerns there is potentially security benefit from randomization. Some data exfiltration and return-oriented-programming attacks rely on the ability to infer the location of sensitive data objects. The kernel page allocator, especially early in system boot, has predictable first-in-first out behavior for physical pages. Pages are freed in physical address order when first onlined. Quoting Kees: "While we already have a base-address randomization (CONFIG_RANDOMIZE_MEMORY), attacks against the same hardware and memory layouts would certainly be using the predictability of allocation ordering (i.e. for attacks where the base address isn't important: only the relative positions between allocated memory). This is common in lots of heap-style attacks. They try to gain control over ordering by spraying allocations, etc. I'd really like to see this because it gives us something similar to CONFIG_SLAB_FREELIST_RANDOM but for the page allocator." While SLAB_FREELIST_RANDOM reduces the predictability of some local slab caches it leaves vast bulk of memory to be predictably in order allocated. However, it should be noted, the concrete security benefits are hard to quantify, and no known CVE is mitigated by this randomization. Introduce shuffle_free_memory(), and its helper shuffle_zone(), to perform a Fisher-Yates shuffle of the page allocator 'free_area' lists when they are initially populated with free memory at boot and at hotplug time. Do this based on either the presence of a page_alloc.shuffle=Y command line parameter, or autodetection of a memory-side-cache (to be added in a follow-on patch). The shuffling is done in terms of CONFIG_SHUFFLE_PAGE_ORDER sized free pages where the default CONFIG_SHUFFLE_PAGE_ORDER is MAX_ORDER-1 i.e. 10, 4MB this trades off randomization granularity for time spent shuffling. MAX_ORDER-1 was chosen to be minimally invasive to the page allocator while still showing memory-side cache behavior improvements, and the expectation that the security implications of finer granularity randomization is mitigated by CONFIG_SLAB_FREELIST_RANDOM. The performance impact of the shuffling appears to be in the noise compared to other memory initialization work. This initial randomization can be undone over time so a follow-on patch is introduced to inject entropy on page free decisions. It is reasonable to ask if the page free entropy is sufficient, but it is not enough due to the in-order initial freeing of pages. At the start of that process putting page1 in front or behind page0 still keeps them close together, page2 is still near page1 and has a high chance of being adjacent. As more pages are added ordering diversity improves, but there is still high page locality for the low address pages and this leads to no significant impact to the cache conflict rate.

The only out-of-area changes are the addition of a cpuhp_state, small additions to Documentation and MAINTAINERS updates. Highlights: - Support for Kernel Userspace Access/Execution Prevention (like SMAP/SMEP/PAN/PXN) on some 64-bit and 32-bit CPUs. This prevents the kernel from accidentally accessing userspace outside copy_to/from_user(), or ever executing userspace. - KASAN support on 32-bit. - Rework of where we map the kernel, vmalloc, etc. on 64-bit hash to use the same address ranges we use with the Radix MMU. - A rewrite into C of large parts of our idle handling code for 64-bit Book3S (ie. power8 & power9). - A fast path entry for syscalls on 32-bit CPUs, for a 12-17% speedup in the null_syscall benchmark. - On 64-bit bare metal we have support for recovering from errors with the time base (our clocksource), however if that fails currently we hang in __delay() and never crash. We now have support for detecting that case and short circuiting __delay() so we at least panic() and reboot. - Add support for optionally enabling the DAWR on Power9, which had to be disabled by default due to a hardware erratum. This has the effect of enabling hardware breakpoints for GDB, the downside is a badly behaved program could crash the machine by pointing the DAWR at cache inhibited memory. This is opt-in obviously. - xmon, our crash handler, gets support for a read only mode where operations that could change memory or otherwise disturb the system are disabled.

Then subarches will have the possibility to provide their own implementation by providing setup_kuap() and allow/prevent_user_access(). Some platforms will need to know the area accessed and whether it is accessed from read, write or both. Therefore source, destination and size and handed over to the two functions. mpe: Rename to allow/prevent rather than unlock/lock, and add read/write wrappers. Drop the 32-bit code for now until we have an implementation for it. Add kuap to pt_regs for 64-bit as well as 32-bit. Don't split strings, use pr_crit_ratelimited().

The first problem is that if the current EPB value for a CPU going online is 0 ('performance'), the kernel will change it to 6 ('normal') regardless of whether or not this is the first bring-up of that CPU. That also happens during system-wide resume from sleep states (including, but not limited to, hibernation). However, the EPB may have been adjusted by user space this way and the kernel should not blindly override that setting. The second problem is that if the platform firmware resets the EPB values for any CPUs during system-wide resume from a sleep state, the kernel will not restore their previous EPB values that may have been set by user space before the preceding system-wide suspend transition. Again, that behavior may at least be confusing from the user space perspective. In order to address these issues, rework the handling of MSR_IA32_ENERGY_PERF_BIAS so that the EPB value is saved on CPU offline and restored on CPU online as well as (for the boot CPU) during the syscore stages of system-wide suspend and resume transitions, respectively. However, retain the policy by which the EPB is set to 6 ('normal') on the first bring-up of each CPU if its initial value is 0, based on the observation that 0 may mean 'not initialized' just as well as 'performance' in that case. While at it, move the MSR_IA32_ENERGY_PERF_BIAS handling code into a separate file and document it in Documentation/admin-guide.
