uprobes: Change handle_swbp() to send SIGTRAP with si_code=SI_KERNEL, to fix GDB regression

2020-07-29T08:19:38+00:00

commit fe5ed7ab99c656bd2f5b79b49df0e9ebf2cead8a upstream.

If a tracee is uprobed and it hits int3 inserted by debugger, handle_swbp()
does send_sig(SIGTRAP, current, 0) which means si_code == SI_USER. This used
to work when this code was written, but then GDB started to validate si_code
and now it simply can't use breakpoints if the tracee has an active uprobe:

	# cat test.c
	void unused_func(void)
	{
	}
	int main(void)
	{
		return 0;
	}

	# gcc -g test.c -o test
	# perf probe -x ./test -a unused_func
	# perf record -e probe_test:unused_func gdb ./test -ex run
	GNU gdb (GDB) 10.0.50.20200714-git
	...
	Program received signal SIGTRAP, Trace/breakpoint trap.
	0x00007ffff7ddf909 in dl_main () from /lib64/ld-linux-x86-64.so.2
	(gdb)

The tracee hits the internal breakpoint inserted by GDB to monitor shared
library events but GDB misinterprets this SIGTRAP and reports a signal.

Change handle_swbp() to use force_sig(SIGTRAP), this matches do_int3_user()
and fixes the problem.

This is the minimal fix for -stable, arch/x86/kernel/uprobes.c is equally
wrong; it should use send_sigtrap(TRAP_TRACE) instead of send_sig(SIGTRAP),
but this doesn't confuse GDB and needs another x86-specific patch.

perf: Add cond_resched() to task_function_call()

2020-06-17T14:43:03+00:00

commit 2ed6edd33a214bca02bd2b45e3fc3038a059436b upstream.

Under rare circumstances, task_function_call() can repeatedly fail and
cause a soft lockup.

There is a slight race where the process is no longer running on the cpu
we targeted by the time remote_function() runs.  The code will simply
try again.  If we are very unlucky, this will continue to fail, until a
watchdog fires.  This can happen in a heavily loaded, multi-core virtual
machine.

uprobes: ensure that uprobe->offset and ->ref_ctr_offset are properly aligned

2020-06-10T18:21:45+00:00

commit 013b2deba9a6b80ca02f4fafd7dedf875e9b4450 upstream.

uprobe_write_opcode() must not cross page boundary; prepare_uprobe()
relies on arch_uprobe_analyze_insn() which should validate "vaddr" but
some architectures (csky, s390, and sparc) don't do this.

We can remove the BUG_ON() check in prepare_uprobe() and validate the
offset early in __uprobe_register(). The new IS_ALIGNED() check matches
the alignment check in arch_prepare_kprobe() on supported architectures,
so I think that all insns must be aligned to UPROBE_SWBP_INSN_SIZE.

Another problem is __update_ref_ctr() which was wrong from the very
beginning, it can read/write outside of kmap'ed page unless "vaddr" is
aligned to sizeof(short), __uprobe_register() should check this too.

perf/core: Disable page faults when getting phys address

While __get_user_pages_fast() is IRQ-safe, it calls access_ok(),
which warns on:

  WARN_ON_ONCE(!in_task() && !pagefault_disabled())

Peter suggested disabling page faults around __get_user_pages_fast(),
which gets rid of the warning in access_ok() call.

perf/core: Fix event cgroup tracking

2020-04-08T09:33:44+00:00

Song reports that installing cgroup events is broken since:

  db0503e4f675 ("perf/core: Optimize perf_install_in_event()")

The problem being that cgroup events try to track cpuctx->cgrp even
for disabled events, which is pointless and actively harmful since the
above commit. Rework the code to have explicit enable/disable hooks
for cgroup events, such that we can limit cgroup tracking to active
events.

More specifically, since the above commit disabled events are no
longer added to their context from the 'right' CPU, and we can't
access things like the current cgroup for a remote CPU.

Pull exec/proc updates from Eric Biederman:
 "This contains two significant pieces of work: the work to sort out
  proc_flush_task, and the work to solve a deadlock between strace and
  exec.

  Fixing proc_flush_task so that it no longer requires a persistent
  mount makes improvements to proc possible. The removal of the
  persistent mount solves an old regression that that caused the hidepid
  mount option to only work on remount not on mount. The regression was
  found and reported by the Android folks. This further allows Alexey
  Gladkov's work making proc mount options specific to an individual
  mount of proc to move forward.

  The work on exec starts solving a long standing issue with exec that
  it takes mutexes of blocking userspace applications, which makes exec
  extremely deadlock prone. For the moment this adds a second mutex with
  a narrower scope that handles all of the easy cases. Which makes the
  tricky cases easy to spot. With a little luck the code to solve those
  deadlocks will be ready by next merge window"
