All the lines printed by mem_init are independent, with each ending with a newline. While they logically form a large block, none are actually continuations of previous lines. The kernel-side printk code and the userspace demsg tool differ in their handling of KERN_CONT following a newline, and while this isn't always a problem kernel-side, it does cause difficulty for userspace. Using pr_cont causes the userspace tool to not print line prefix (e.g. timestamps) even when following a newline, mis-aligning the output and making it harder to read, e.g. [ 0.000000] Virtual kernel memory layout: [ 0.000000] modules : 0xffff000000000000 - 0xffff000008000000 ( 128 MB) vmalloc : 0xffff000008000000 - 0xffff7dffbfff0000 (129022 GB) .text : 0xffff000008080000 - 0xffff0000088b0000 ( 8384 KB) .rodata : 0xffff0000088b0000 - 0xffff000008c50000 ( 3712 KB) .init : 0xffff000008c50000 - 0xffff000008d50000 ( 1024 KB) .data : 0xffff000008d50000 - 0xffff000008e25200 ( 853 KB) .bss : 0xffff000008e25200 - 0xffff000008e6bec0 ( 284 KB) fixed : 0xffff7dfffe7fd000 - 0xffff7dfffec00000 ( 4108 KB) PCI I/O : 0xffff7dfffee00000 - 0xffff7dffffe00000 ( 16 MB) vmemmap : 0xffff7e0000000000 - 0xffff800000000000 ( 2048 GB maximum) 0xffff7e0000000000 - 0xffff7e0026000000 ( 608 MB actual) memory : 0xffff800000000000 - 0xffff800980000000 ( 38912 MB) [ 0.000000] SLUB: HWalign=64, Order=0-3, MinObjects=0, CPUs=6, Nodes=1 Fix this by using pr_notice consistently for all lines, which both the kernel and userspace are happy with.

Recently in commit 4bcc595c ("printk: reinstate KERN_CONT for printing continuation lines"), the behaviour of printk changed w.r.t. KERN_CONT. Now, KERN_CONT is mandatory to continue existing lines. Without this, prefixes are inserted, making output illegible, e.g. [ 1007.069010] pc : [<ffff00000871898c>] lr : [<ffff000008718948>] pstate: 40000145 [ 1007.076329] sp : ffff000008d53ec0 [ 1007.079606] x29: ffff000008d53ec0 [ 1007.082797] x28: 0000000080c50018 [ 1007.086160] [ 1007.087630] x27: ffff000008e0c7f8 [ 1007.090820] x26: ffff80097631ca00 [ 1007.094183] [ 1007.095653] x25: 0000000000000001 [ 1007.098843] x24: 000000ea68b61cac [ 1007.102206] ... or when dumped with the userpace dmesg tool, which has slightly different implicit newline behaviour. e.g. [ 1007.069010] pc : [<ffff00000871898c>] lr : [<ffff000008718948>] pstate: 40000145 [ 1007.076329] sp : ffff000008d53ec0 [ 1007.079606] x29: ffff000008d53ec0 [ 1007.082797] x28: 0000000080c50018 [ 1007.086160] [ 1007.087630] x27: ffff000008e0c7f8 [ 1007.090820] x26: ffff80097631ca00 [ 1007.094183] [ 1007.095653] x25: 0000000000000001 [ 1007.098843] x24: 000000ea68b61cac [ 1007.102206] We can't simply always use KERN_CONT for lines which may or may not be continuations. That causes line prefixes (e.g. timestamps) to be supressed, and the alignment of all but the first line will be broken. For even more fun, we can't simply insert some dummy empty-string printk calls, as GCC warns for an empty printk string, and even if we pass KERN_DEFAULT explcitly to silence the warning, the prefix gets swallowed unless there is an additional part to the string. Instead, we must manually iterate over pairs of registers, which gives us the legible output we want in either case, e.g. [ 169.771790] pc : [<ffff00000871898c>] lr : [<ffff000008718948>] pstate: 40000145 [ 169.779109] sp : ffff000008d53ec0 [ 169.782386] x29: ffff000008d53ec0 x28: 0000000080c50018 [ 169.787650] x27: ffff000008e0c7f8 x26: ffff80097631de00 [ 169.792913] x25: 0000000000000001 x24: 00000027827b2cf4 Signed-off-by: Mark Rutland <mark.rutland@arm.com> Cc: Catalin Marinas <catalin.marinas@arm.com> Cc: Will Deacon <will.deacon@arm.com> Signed-off-by: Will Deacon <will.deacon@arm.com>

GNU ld used to set the ELF file type to ET_DYN for PIE executables, which is the same file type used for shared libraries. However, this was changed recently, and now PIE executables are emitted as ET_EXEC instead. The distinction is only relevant for ELF loaders, and so there is little reason to care about the difference when building the kernel, which is why the change has gone unnoticed until now. However, debuggers do use the ELF binary, and expect ET_EXEC type files to appear in memory at the exact offset described in the ELF metadata. This means source level debugging is no longer possible when KASLR is in effect or when executing the stub. So add the -shared LD option when building with CONFIG_RELOCATABLE=y. This forces the ELF file type to be set to ET_DYN (which is what you get when building with binutils 2.24 and earlier anyway), and has no other ill effects.

The suspend/resume path in kernel/sleep.S, as used by cpu-idle, does not save/restore PSTATE. As a result of this cpufeatures that were detected and have bits in PSTATE get lost when we resume from idle. UAO gets set appropriately on the next context switch. PAN will be re-enabled next time we return from user-space, but on a preemptible kernel we may run work accessing user space before this point. Add code to re-enable theses two features in __cpu_suspend_exit(). We re-use uao_thread_switch() passing current.

Commit 338d4f49 ("arm64: kernel: Add support for Privileged Access Never") enabled PAN by enabling the 'SPAN' feature-bit in SCTLR_EL1. This means the PSTATE.PAN bit won't be set until the next return to the kernel from userspace. On a preemptible kernel we may schedule work that accesses userspace on a CPU before it has done this. Now that cpufeature enable() calls are scheduled via stop_machine(), we can set PSTATE.PAN from the cpu_enable_pan() call. Add WARN_ON_ONCE(in_interrupt()) to check the PSTATE value we updated is not immediately discarded.

The enable() call for a cpufeature/errata is called using on_each_cpu(). This issues a cross-call IPI to get the work done. Implicitly, this stashes the running PSTATE in SPSR when the CPU receives the IPI, and restores it when we return. This means an enable() call can never modify PSTATE. To allow PAN to do this, change the on_each_cpu() call to use stop_machine(). This schedules the work on each CPU which allows us to modify PSTATE. This involves changing the protype of all the enable() functions. enable_cpu_capabilities() is called during boot and enables the feature on all online CPUs. This path now uses stop_machine(). CPU features for hotplug'd CPUs are enabled by verify_local_cpu_features() which only acts on the local CPU, and can already modify the running PSTATE as it is called from secondary_start_kernel().

Commit 7dd01aef ("arm64: trap userspace "dc cvau" cache operation on errata-affected core") adds code to execute cache maintenance instructions in the kernel on behalf of userland on CPUs with certain ARM CPU errata. It turns out that the address hasn't been checked to be a valid user space address, allowing userland to clean cache lines in kernel space. Fix this by introducing an address check before executing the instructions on behalf of userland. Since the address doesn't come via a syscall parameter, we can't just reject tagged pointers and instead have to remove the tag when checking against the user address limit.

We have a fairly common pattern where you print several things as continuations on one single line in a loop, and then at the end you do printk(KERN_CONT "\n"); to flush the buffered output. But if the output was flushed by something else (concurrent printk activity, or just system logging), we don't want that final flushing to just print an empty line. So just suppress empty continuation lines when they couldn't be merged into the line they are a continuation of. Signed-off-by: Linus Torvalds <torvalds@linux-foundation.org>

Merge the gup_flags cleanups from Lorenzo Stoakes: "This patch series adjusts functions in the get_user_pages* family such that desired FOLL_* flags are passed as an argument rather than implied by flags. The purpose of this change is to make the use of FOLL_FORCE explicit so it is easier to grep for and clearer to callers that this flag is being used. The use of FOLL_FORCE is an issue as it overrides missing VM_READ/VM_WRITE flags for the VMA whose pages we are reading from/writing to, which can result in surprising behaviour. The patch series came out of the discussion around commit 38e08854 ("mm: check VMA flags to avoid invalid PROT_NONE NUMA balancing"), which addressed a BUG_ON() being triggered when a page was faulted in with PROT_NONE set but having been overridden by FOLL_FORCE. do_numa_page() was run on the assumption the page _must_ be one marked for NUMA node migration as an actual PROT_NONE page would have been dealt with prior to this code path, however FOLL_FORCE introduced a situation where this assumption did not hold. See https://marc.info/?l=linux-mm&m=147585445805166 for the patch proposal" Additionally, there's a fix for an ancient bug related to FOLL_FORCE and FOLL_WRITE by me.

Writing the outer loop of an LL/SC sequence using do {...} while constructs potentially allows the compiler to hoist memory accesses between the STXR and the branch back to the LDXR. On CPUs that do not guarantee forward progress of LL/SC loops when faced with memory accesses to the same ERG (up to 2k) between the failed STXR and the branch back, we may end up livelocking. This patch avoids this issue in our percpu atomics by rewriting the outer loop as part of the LL/SC inline assembly block.

If a CPU does not implement a global monitor for certain memory types, then userspace can attempt a kernel DoS by issuing SWP instructions targetting the problematic memory (for example, a framebuffer mapped with non-cacheable attributes). The SWP emulation code protects against these sorts of attacks by checking for pending signals and potentially rescheduling when the STXR instruction fails during the emulation. Whilst this is good for avoiding livelock, it harms emulation of legitimate SWP instructions on CPUs where forward progress is not guaranteed if there are memory accesses to the same reservation granule (up to 2k) between the failing STXR and the retry of the LDXR. This patch solves the problem by retrying the STXR a bounded number of times (4) before breaking out of the LL/SC loop and looking for something else to do.

A scheduler performance regression has been reported by Joseph Salisbury, which he bisected back to: 3d30544f ("sched/fair: Apply more PELT fixes) The regression triggers when several levels of task groups are involved (read: SystemD) and cpu_possible_mask != cpu_present_mask. The root cause is that group entity's load (tg_child->se[i]->avg.load_avg) is initialized to scale_load_down(se->load.weight). During the creation of a child task group, its group entities on possible CPUs are attached to parent's cfs_rq (tg_parent) and their loads are added to the parent's load (tg_parent->load_avg) with update_tg_load_avg(). But only the load on online CPUs will then be updated to reflect real load, whereas load on other CPUs will stay at the initial value. The result is a tg_parent->load_avg that is higher than the real load, the weight of group entities (tg_parent->se[i]->load.weight) on online CPUs is smaller than it should be, and the task group gets a less running time than what it could expect. ( This situation can be detected with /proc/sched_debug. The ".tg_load_avg" of the task group will be much higher than sum of ".tg_load_avg_contrib" of online cfs_rqs of the task group. ) The load of group entities don't have to be intialized to something else than 0 because their load will increase when an entity is attached.

This removes the 'write' and 'force' use from get_user_pages_unlocked() and replaces them with 'gup_flags' to make the use of FOLL_FORCE explicit in callers as use of this flag can result in surprising behaviour (and hence bugs) within the mm subsystem.

This is an ancient bug that was actually attempted to be fixed once (badly) by me eleven years ago in commit 4ceb5db9 ("Fix get_user_pages() race for write access") but that was then undone due to problems on s390 by commit f33ea7f4 ("fix get_user_pages bug"). In the meantime, the s390 situation has long been fixed, and we can now fix it by checking the pte_dirty() bit properly (and do it better). The s390 dirty bit was implemented in abf09bed ("s390/mm: implement software dirty bits") which made it into v3.9. Earlier kernels will have to look at the page state itself. Also, the VM has become more scalable, and what used a purely theoretical race back then has become easier to trigger. To fix it, we introduce a new internal FOLL_COW flag to mark the "yes, we already did a COW" rather than play racy games with FOLL_WRITE that is very fundamental, and then use the pte dirty flag to validate that the FOLL_COW flag is still valid.
