      uprobes: Teach handle_swbp() to rely on "is_swbp" rather than uprobes_srcu · 56bb4cf6
      Oleg Nesterov authored 
      

Currently handle_swbp() assumes that it can't race with
unregister, so it roughly does:

	if (find_uprobe(vaddr))
		process_uprobe();
	else
		send_sig(SIGTRAP);

This relies on the not-really-working uprobes_srcu code we are
going to remove, see the next patch.

With this patch we rely on the result of
is_swbp_at_addr(bp_vaddr) if find_uprobe() fails.

If is_swbp == 1, then we hit the normal int3, we should send
SIGTRAP.

If is_swbp == 0, we raced with uprobe_unregister(), we simply
restart this insn again.

The "difficult" case is is_swbp == -EFAULT, when we can't read
this memory. In this case I think we should restart too, and
this is more correct compared to the current code which sends
SIGTRAP.

Ignoring ENOMEM/etc from get_user_pages(), this can only happen
if another thread unmaps this memory before find_active_uprobe()
takes mmap_sem. It would be better to pretend it was unmapped
before this insn was executed, restart, and get SIGSEGV.

      uprobes: Change register_for_each_vma() to take mm->mmap_sem for writing · 77fc4af1
      Oleg Nesterov authored 
      

Change register_for_each_vma() to take mm->mmap_sem for writing.
This is a bit unfortunate but hopefully not too bad, this is the
slow path anyway.

This is needed to ensure that find_active_uprobe() can not race
with uprobe_register() which adds the new bp at the same
bp_vaddr, after find_uprobe() fails and before
is_swbp_at_addr_fast() checks the memory.

IOW, this is needed to ensure that if find_active_uprobe()
returns NULL but is_swbp == true, we can safely assume that it
was the "normal" int3 and we should send SIGTRAP.

There is another reason for this change. We are going to replace
uprobes_state->count with MMF_ flags set by register/unregister
and cleared by find_active_uprobe(), and set/clear shouldn't
race with each other.

      uprobes: Teach find_active_uprobe() to provide the "is_swbp" info · d790d346
      Oleg Nesterov authored 
      

A separate patch to simplify the review, and for the
documentation.

The patch adds another "int *is_swbp" argument to
find_active_uprobe(), so far its only caller doesn't use this
info.

With this patch find_active_uprobe() additionally does:

	- if find_vma() + ->vm_start check fails, *is_swbp = -EFAULT

	- otherwise, if valid_vma() + find_uprobe() fails, it holds
	  the result of is_swbp_at_addr(), can be negative too. The
	  latter is only possible if we raced with another thread
	  which did munmap/etc after we hit this bp.

IOW. If find_active_uprobe(&is_swbp) returns NULL, the caller
can look at is_swbp to figure out whether the current insn is bp
or not, or detect the race with another thread if it is
negative.

Note: I think that performance-wise this change is fine. This
adds is_swbp_at_addr(), but only if we raced with
uprobe_unregister() or if we hit the "normal" int3 but this mm
has uprobes as well. And even in this case the slow
read_opcode() path is very unlikely, this insn recently
triggered do_int3(), __copy_from_user_inatomic() shouldn't fail
in the likely case.

      uprobes: Introduce find_active_uprobe() helper · 3a9ea052
      Oleg Nesterov authored 
      

No functional changes. Move the "find uprobe" code from
handle_swbp() to the new helper, find_active_uprobe().

Note: with or without this change, the find-active-uprobe logic
is not exactly right. We can race with another thread which
unmaps the memory with the valid uprobe before we take
mm->mmap_sem. We can't find this uprobe simply because
find_vma() fails. In this case we wrongly assume that this trap
was not caused by uprobe and send the erroneous SIGTRAP. See the
next changes.

      uprobes: Change read_opcode() to use FOLL_FORCE · a3d7bb47
      Oleg Nesterov authored 
      

set_orig_insn()->read_opcode() should not fail if the probed
task did mprotect() after uprobe_register(), change it to use
FOLL_FORCE. Without FOLL_WRITE this doesn't have any "side"
effect but allows to read the !VM_READ memory.

There is another reason for this change, we are going to use
is_swbp_at_addr() from handle_swbp() which can race with another
thread doing mprotect().

      x86/decoder: Fix bsr/bsf/jmpe decoding with operand-size prefix · 436d03fa
      Masami Hiramatsu authored 
      

Fix the x86 instruction decoder to decode bsr/bsf/jmpe with
operand-size prefix (66h). This fixes the test case failure
reported by Linus, attached below.

bsf/bsr/jmpe have a special encoding. Opcode map in
Intel Software Developers Manual vol2 says they have
TZCNT/LZCNT variants if it has F3h prefix. However, there
is no information if it has other 66h or F2h prefixes.
Current instruction decoder supposes that those are
bad instructions, but it actually accepts at least
operand-size prefixes.

H. Peter Anvin further explains:

 " TZCNT/LZCNT are F3 + BSF/BSR exactly because the F2 and
   F3 prefixes have historically been no-ops with most instructions.
   This allows software to unconditionally use the prefixed versions
   and get TZCNT/LZCNT on the processors that have them if they don't
   care about the difference. "

This fixes errors reported by test_get_len:

      dm thin: provide userspace access to pool metadata · cc8394d8
      Joe Thornber authored 
      This patch implements two new messages that can be sent to the thin
pool target allowing it to take a snapshot of the _metadata_.  This,
read-only snapshot can be accessed by userland, concurrently with the
live target.

Only one metadata snapshot can be held at a time.  The pool's status
line will give the block location for the current msnap.

Since version 0.1.5 of the userland thin provisioning tools, the
thin_dump program displays the msnap as follows:

    thin_dump -m <msnap root> <metadata dev>

Available here: https://github.com/jthornber/thin-provisioning-tools

Now that userland can access the metadata we can do various things
that have traditionally been kernel side tasks:

     i) Incremental backups.

     By using metadata snapshots we can work out what blocks have
     changed over time.  Combined with data snapshots we can ensure
     the data doesn't change while we back it up.

     A short proof of concept script can be found here:

     https://github.com/jthornber/thinp-test-suite/blob/master/incremental_backup_example.rb



     ii) Migration of thin devices from one pool to another.

     iii) Merging snapshots back into an external origin.

     iv) Asyncronous replication.

      dm mpath: allow ioctls to trigger pg init · 35991652
      Mikulas Patocka authored 
      

After the failure of a group of paths, any alternative paths that
need initialising do not become available until further I/O is sent to
the device.  Until this has happened, ioctls return -EAGAIN.

With this patch, new paths are made available in response to an ioctl
too.  The processing of the ioctl gets delayed until this has happened.

Instead of returning an error, we submit a work item to kmultipathd
(that will potentially activate the new path) and retry in ten
milliseconds.

Note that the patch doesn't retry an ioctl if the ioctl itself fails due
to a path failure.  Such retries should be handled intelligently by the
code that generated the ioctl in the first place, noting that some SCSI
commands should not be retried because they are not idempotent (XOR write
commands).  For commands that could be retried, there is a danger that
if the device rejected the SCSI command, the path could be errorneously
marked as failed, and the request would be retried on another path which
might fail too.  It can be determined if the failure happens on the
device or on the SCSI controller, but there is no guarantee that all
SCSI drivers set these flags correctly.

If I/O needs retrying and only bypassed priority groups are available,
set the pg_init_delay_retry flag to wait before retrying.

If, for example, the reason for the bypass is that the controller is
getting reset or there is a firmware upgrade happening, retrying right
away would cause a flood of log messages and retries for what could be a
few seconds or even several minutes.
