x86/MCE: Serialize sysfs changes The check_interval file in /sys/devices/system/machinecheck/machinecheck<cpu number> directory is a global timer value for MCE polling. If it is changed by one CPU, mce_restart() broadcasts the event to other CPUs to delete and restart the MCE polling timer and __mcheck_cpu_init_timer() reinitializes the mce_timer variable. If more than one CPU writes a specific value to the check_interval file concurrently, mce_timer is not protected from such concurrent accesses and all kinds of explosions happen. Since only root can write to those sysfs variables, the issue is not a big deal security-wise. However, concurrent writes to these configuration variables is void of reason so the proper thing to do is to serialize the access with a mutex. Boris: - Make store_int_with_restart() use device_store_ulong() to filter out negative intervals - Limit min interval to 1 second - Correct locking - Massage commit message Signed-off-by: Seunghun Han <[email protected]> Signed-off-by: Borislav Petkov <[email protected]> Signed-off-by: Thomas Gleixner <[email protected]> Cc: Greg Kroah-Hartman <[email protected]> Cc: Tony Luck <[email protected]> Cc: linux-edac <[email protected]> Cc: [email protected] Link: http://lkml.kernel.org/r/[email protected] --- arch/x86/kernel/cpu/mcheck/mce.c | 22 +++++++++++++++++++++- 1 file changed, 21 insertions(+), 1 deletion(-) diff --git a/arch/x86/kernel/cpu/mcheck/mce.c b/arch/x86/kernel/cpu/mcheck/mce.c index b3323cab9139..466f47301334 100644 --- a/arch/x86/kernel/cpu/mcheck/mce.c +++ b/arch/x86/kernel/cpu/mcheck/mce.c @@ -56,6 +56,9 @@ static DEFINE_MUTEX(mce_log_mutex); +/* sysfs synchronization */ +static DEFINE_MUTEX(mce_sysfs_mutex); + #define CREATE_TRACE_POINTS #include <trace/events/mce.h> @@ -2088,6 +2091,7 @@ static ssize_t set_ignore_ce(struct device *s, if (kstrtou64(buf, 0, &new) < 0) return -EINVAL; + mutex_lock(&mce_sysfs_mutex); if (mca_cfg.ignore_ce ^ !!new) { if (new) { /* disable ce features */ @@ -2100,6 +2104,8 @@ static ssize_t set_ignore_ce(struct device *s, on_each_cpu(mce_enable_ce, (void *)1, 1); } } + mutex_unlock(&mce_sysfs_mutex); + return size; } @@ -2112,6 +2118,7 @@ static ssize_t set_cmci_disabled(struct device *s, if (kstrtou64(buf, 0, &new) < 0) return -EINVAL; + mutex_lock(&mce_sysfs_mutex); if (mca_cfg.cmci_disabled ^ !!new) { if (new) { /* disable cmci */ @@ -2123,6 +2130,8 @@ static ssize_t set_cmci_disabled(struct device *s, on_each_cpu(mce_enable_ce, NULL, 1); } } + mutex_unlock(&mce_sysfs_mutex); + return size; } @@ -2130,8 +2139,19 @@ static ssize_t store_int_with_restart(struct device *s, struct device_attribute *attr, const char *buf, size_t size) { - ssize_t ret = device_store_int(s, attr, buf, size); + unsigned long old_check_interval = check_interval; + ssize_t ret = device_store_ulong(s, attr, buf, size); + + if (check_interval == old_check_interval) + return ret; + + if (check_interval < 1) + check_interval = 1; + + mutex_lock(&mce_sysfs_mutex); mce_restart(); + mutex_unlock(&mce_sysfs_mutex); + return ret; }
