sysctl: clean up char buffer arguments
When writing to a sysctl string, each write, regardless of VFS position,
began writing the string from the start. This meant the contents of
the last write to the sysctl controlled the string contents instead of
the first.
This misbehavior was featured in an exploit against Chrome OS. While it's
not in itself a vulnerability, it's a weirdness that isn't on the mind
of most auditors: "This filter looks correct, the first line written
would not be meaningful to sysctl" doesn't apply here, since the size
of the write and the contents of the final write are what matter when
writing to sysctls.
This adds the sysctl kernel.sysctl_writes_strict to control the write
behavior. The default (0) reports when VFS position is non-0 on a write,
but retains legacy behavior, -1 disables the warning, and 1 enables the
position-respecting behavior.
The long-term plan here is to wait for userspace to be fixed in response
to the new warning and to then switch the default kernel behavior to the
new position-respecting behavior.
This patch (of 4):
The char buffer arguments are needlessly cast in weird places. Clean it up
so things are easier to read.

If the ida has at least one existing id, and when an unallocated ID which

The condition is that the unallocated ID shares the same lowest idr layer

In this case the matching idr slot for the unallocated_id is NULL, causing
@bitmap to be NULL which the function dereferences without checking

CPU hotplug, smp: Flush any pending IPI callbacks before CPU offline
During CPU offline, in the stop-machine loop, we use 2 separate stages to
disable interrupts, to ensure that the CPU going offline doesn't get any
new IPIs from the other CPUs after it has gone offline.
However, an IPI sent much earlier might arrive late on the target CPU
(possibly _after_ the CPU has gone offline) due to hardware latencies, and
due to this, the smp-call-function callbacks queued on the outgoing CPU
might not get noticed (and hence not executed) at all.
This is somewhat theoretical, but in any case, it makes sense to
explicitly loop through the call_single_queue and flush any pending
callbacks before the CPU goes completely offline. So, flush the queued
smp-call-function callbacks in the MULTI_STOP_DISABLE_IRQ_ACTIVE stage,
after disabling interrupts on the active CPU. This can be trivially
achieved by invoking the generic_smp_call_function_single_interrupt()
function itself (and since the outgoing CPU is still online at this point,
we won't trigger the "IPI to offline CPU" warning in this function; so we
are safe to call it here).
This way, we would have handled all the queued callbacks before going
offline, and also, no new IPIs can be sent by the other CPUs to the
outgoing CPU at that point, because they will all be executing the
stop-machine code with interrupts disabled.

CPU hotplug, stop-machine: plug race-window that leads to "IPI-to-offline-CPU"
During CPU offline, stop-machine is used to take control over all the
online CPUs (via the per-cpu stopper thread) and then run take_cpu_down()
on the CPU that is to be taken offline.
But stop-machine itself has several stages: _PREPARE, _DISABLE_IRQ, _RUN
etc. The important thing to note here is that the _DISABLE_IRQ stage
comes much later after starting stop-machine, and hence there is a large
window where other CPUs can send IPIs to the CPU going offline. As a
result, we can encounter a scenario as depicted below, which causes IPIs
to be sent to the CPU going offline, and that CPU notices them *after* it
has gone offline, triggering the "IPI-to-offline-CPU" warning from the
smp-call-function code.
CPU 1 CPU 2
(Online CPU) (CPU going offline)
Enter _PREPARE stage Enter _PREPARE stage
Enter _DISABLE_IRQ stage
=
Got a device interrupt, | Didn't notice the IPI
and the interrupt handler | since interrupts were
called smp_call_function() | disabled on this CPU.
and sent an IPI to CPU 2. |
=
Enter _DISABLE_IRQ stage
Enter _RUN stage Enter _RUN stage
=
Busy loop with interrupts | Invoke take_cpu_down()
disabled. | and take CPU 2 offline
=
Enter _EXIT stage Enter _EXIT stage
Re-enable interrupts Re-enable interrupts
The pending IPI is noted
immediately, but alas,
the CPU is offline at
this point.
So, as we can observe from this scenario, the IPI was sent when CPU 2 was
still online, and hence it was perfectly legal. But unfortunately it was
noted only after CPU 2 went offline, resulting in the warning from the IPI
handling code. In other words, the fault was not at the sender, but at
the receiver side - and if we look closely, the real bug is in the
stop-machine sequence itself.
The problem here is that the CPU going offline disabled its local
interrupts (by entering _DISABLE_IRQ phase) *before* the other CPUs. And
that's the reason why it was not able to respond to the IPI before going
offline.
A simple solution to this problem is to ensure that the CPU going offline
disables its interrupts only *after* the other CPUs do the same thing. To
achieve this, split the _DISABLE_IRQ state into 2 parts:
1st part: MULTI_STOP_DISABLE_IRQ_INACTIVE, where only the non-active CPUs
(i.e., the "other" CPUs) disable their interrupts.
2nd part: MULTI_STOP_DISABLE_IRQ_ACTIVE, where the active CPU (i.e., the
CPU going offline) disables its interrupts.
With this in place, the CPU going offline will always be the last one to
disable interrupts. After this step, no further IPIs can be sent to the
outgoing CPU, since all the other CPUs would be executing the stop-machine
code with interrupts disabled. And by the time stop-machine ends, the CPU
would have gone offline and disappeared from the cpu_online_mask, and
hence future invocations of smp_call_function() and friends will
automatically prune that CPU out. Thus, we can guarantee that no CPU will
end up *inadvertently* sending IPIs to an offline CPU.

smp: print more useful debug info upon receiving IPI on an offline CPU
There is a longstanding problem related to CPU hotplug which causes IPIs
to be delivered to offline CPUs, and the smp-call-function IPI handler
code prints out a warning whenever this is detected. Every once in a
while this (usually harmless) warning gets reported on LKML, but so far it
has not been completely fixed. Usually the solution involves finding out
the IPI sender and fixing it by adding appropriate synchronization with
CPU hotplug.
However, while going through one such internal bug reports, I found that
there is a significant bug in the receiver side itself (more specifically,
in stop-machine) that can lead to this problem even when the sender code
is perfectly fine. This patchset fixes that synchronization problem in
the CPU hotplug stop-machine code.
Patch 1 adds some additional debug code to the smp-call-function
framework, to help debug such issues easily.
Patch 2 modifies the stop-machine code to ensure that any IPIs that were
sent while the target CPU was online, would be noticed and handled by that
CPU without fail before it goes offline. Thus, this avoids scenarios
where IPIs are received on offline CPUs (as long as the sender uses proper
hotplug synchronization).
In fact, I debugged the problem by using Patch 1, and found that the
payload of the IPI was always the block layer's trigger_softirq()
function. But I was not able to find anything wrong with the block layer
code. That's when I started looking at the stop-machine code and realized
that there is a race-window which makes the IPI _receiver_ the culprit,
not the sender. Patch 2 fixes that race and hence this should put an end
to most of the hard-to-debug IPI-to-offline-CPU issues.
This patch (of 2):
Today the smp-call-function code just prints a warning if we get an IPI on
an offline CPU. This info is sufficient to let us know that something
went wrong, but often it is very hard to debug exactly who sent the IPI
and why, from this info alone.
In most cases, we get the warning about the IPI to an offline CPU,
immediately after the CPU going offline comes out of the stop-machine
phase and reenables interrupts. Since all online CPUs participate in
stop-machine, the information regarding the sender of the IPI is already
lost by the time we exit the stop-machine loop. So even if we dump the
stack on each CPU at this point, we won't find anything useful since all
of them will show the stack-trace of the stopper thread. So we need a
better way to figure out who sent the IPI and why.
To achieve this, when we detect an IPI targeted to an offline CPU, loop
through the call-single-data linked list and print out the payload (i.e.,
the name of the function which was supposed to be executed by the target
CPU). This would give us an insight as to who might have sent the IPI and
help us debug this further.

correlate the fork event with later SIGTRAP signals it receives from the
child.
We still risk a race condition if a ptracer from a different pid namespace
attaches after we compute the pid_t value. However, sending a bogus fork
event message in this unlikely scenario is still a vast improvement over
the status quo where we always send bogus fork event messages to debuggers
in a different pid namespace than the forking process.

Add a 'dos1xfloppy' mount option to infer DOS 2.x BIOS Parameter Block

When fat_read_bpb() finds an invalid FAT filesystem and dos1xfloppy is

that the entire BPB is zero, and that the floppy has a DOS-style 8086 code

hfsplus: fix longname handling
Longname is not correctly handled by hfsplus driver. If an attempt to
create a longname(>255) file/directory is made, it succeeds by creating a
file/directory with HFSPLUS_MAX_STRLEN and incorrect catalog key. Thus
leaving the volume in an inconsistent state. This patch fixes this issue.
Although lookup is always called first to create a negative entry, so just
doing a check in lookup would probably fix this issue. I choose to
propagate error to other iops as well.

hfsplus_cat_build_key, to avoid unncessary branching.

hfsplus: correct usage of HFSPLUS_ATTR_MAX_STRLEN for non-English attributes
HFSPLUS_ATTR_MAX_STRLEN (=127) is the limit of attribute names for the
number of unicode character (UTF-16BE) storable in the HFS+ file system.
Almost all the current usage of it is wrong, in relation to NLS to on-disk
conversion.
Except for one use calling hfsplus_asc2uni (which should stay the same)
and its uses in calling hfsplus_uni2asc (which was corrected in the
earlier patch in this series concerning usage of hfsplus_uni2asc), all the
other uses are of the forms:
Conversion between on-disk unicode representation and NLS char strings (in
whichever direction) always needs to accommodate the worst-case NLS
conversion, so all char buffers of that size need to have a
NLS_MAX_CHARSET_SIZE x .
The bound checks are all wrong, since they compare nls_length derived from
strlen() to a unicode length limit.
It turns out that all the bound-checks do is to protect hfsplus_asc2uni(),
which can fail if the input is too large. There is only one usage of it
as far as attributes are concerned, in hfsplus_attr_build_key(). It is in
turn used by hfsplus_find_attr(), hfsplus_create_attr(),
hfsplus_delete_attr(). Thus making sure that errors from
hfsplus_asc2uni() is caught in hfsplus_attr_build_key() and propagated is
sufficient to replace all the bound checks.
Unpropagated errors from hfsplus_asc2uni() in the file catalog code was
addressed recently in an independent patch "hfsplus: fix longname handling"
by Sougata Santra.
Before this patch, trying to set a 55 CJK character (in a UTF-8
locale, > 127/3=42) attribute plus user prefix fails with:
(= "pointlessly long attribute for testing", elaborate Chinese in
UTF-8 enoding).
However, it is not possible to set double the size (110 + 5 is still
under 127) in a UTF-8 locale:
$setfattr -n user.`cat testing-string testing-string` -v \
`cat testing-string testing-string` testing-string
setfattr: testing-string: Numerical result out of range
110 CJK char in UTF-8 is 330 bytes - the generic get/set attribute system
call code in linux/fs/xattr.c imposes a 255 byte limit. One can use a
combination of iconv to encode content, changing terminal locale for
viewing, and an nls=cp932/cp936/cp949/cp950 mount option to fully use
127-unicode attribute in a double-byte locale.
Also, as an additional information, it is possible to (mis-)use unicode
half-width/full-width forms (U+FFxx) to write attributes which looks like
english but not actually ascii.

change.

hfsplus: fix worst-case unicode to char conversion of file names and attributes
This is a series of 3 patches which corrects issues in HFS+ concerning the
use of non-english file names and attributes. Names and attributes are
stored internally as UTF-16 units up to a fixed maximum size, and convert
to and from user-representation by NLS. The code incorrectly assume that
NLS string lengths are equal to unicode lengths, which is only true for
English ascii usage.
This patch (of 3):
The HFS Plus Volume Format specification (TN1150) states that file names
are stored internally as a maximum of 255 unicode characters, as defined
by The Unicode Standard, Version 2.0 [Unicode, Inc. ISBN 0-201-48345-9].
File names are converted by the NLS system on Linux before presented to
the user.
255 CJK characters converts to UTF-8 with 1 unicode character to up to 3
bytes, and to GB18030 with 1 unicode character to up to 4 bytes. Thus,
trying in a UTF-8 locale to list files with names of more than 85 CJK
characters results in:
$ ls /mnt
ls: reading directory /mnt: File name too long
The receiving buffer to hfsplus_uni2asc() needs to be 255 x
NLS_MAX_CHARSET_SIZE bytes, not 255 bytes as the code has always been.
Similar consideration applies to attributes, which are stored internally
as a maximum of 127 UTF-16BE units. See XNU source for an up-to-date
reference on attributes.
Strictly speaking, the maximum value of NLS_MAX_CHARSET_SIZE = 6 is not
attainable in the case of conversion to UTF-8, as going beyond 3 bytes
requires the use of surrogate pairs, i.e. consuming two input units.
Thanks Anton Altaparmakov for reviewing an earlier version of this change.
This patch fixes all callers of hfsplus_uni2asc(), and also enables the
use of long non-English file names in HFS+. The getting and setting, and
general usage of long non-English attributes requires further forthcoming
work, in the following patches of this series.

Setting the alarm to a time not on a minute boundary results in repeated
interrupts being generated by the DA9052/3 PMIC device until the kernel
RTC core sees that the alarm has rung. Sometimes the number and frequency
of interrupts can cause the kernel to disable the IRQ line used by the
DA9052/3 PMIC with disasterous consequences. This patch fixes the
problem.
Even though the DA9052/3 PMIC is capable generating periodic interrupts,
ie TICKS, the method used to distinguish RTC_AF from RTC_PF events was
flawed and can not work in conjunction with the regmap_irq kernel core.
Thus that flawed detection has also been removed by the DA9052/3 PMIC RTC
driver's irq handler, so that it no longer reports the wrong type of event
to the kernel RTC core.
The internal static functions within the DA9052/3 PMIC RTC driver have
been changed to pass the 'da9052_rtc' structure instead of the 'da9052'
because there is no backwards pointer from the 'da9052' structure.
This patch fixes the three issues described above. The first is serious
because usiing the RTC alarm set to a non minute boundary will eventually
cause all component drivers that depend on the interrupt line to fail.
The solution adopted is to round up to alarm time to the next highest
minute.
The second bug, reporting a RTC_PF event instead of an RTC_AF event turns
out to not matter with the current implementation of the kernel RTC core
as it seems to ignore the event type. However, should that change in the
future it is better to fix the issue now and not have 'problems waiting to
happen'
The third set of changes are to make the da9052_rtc structure available to
all the local internal functions in the driver. This was done during
testing so that diagnostic data could be stored there. Should the
solution to the first issue be found not acceptable, then the alternative
of using the TICKS interrupt at the fixed one second interval in order to
step to the exact second of the requested alarm requires an extra (alarm
time) piece of data to be stored. In devices that use the alarm function
to wake up from sleep, accuracy to the second will result in the device
being awake for up to nearly a minute longer than expected.

drivers/rtc/rtc-cmos.c: drivers/char/rtc.c features for DECstation support
This brings in drivers/char/rtc.c functionality required for DECstation
and, should the maintainers decide to switch, Alpha systems to use
rtc-cmos.
Specifically these features are made available:
* RTC iomem rather than x86/PCI port I/O mapping, controlled with the
RTC_IOMAPPED macro as with the original driver. The DS1287A chip in all
DECstation systems is mapped in the host bus address space as a
contiguous block of 64 32-bit words of which the least significant byte
accesses the RTC chip for both reads and writes. All the address and
data window register accesses are made transparently by the chipset glue
logic so that the device appears directly mapped on the host bus.
* A way to set the size of the address space explicitly with the
newly-added `address_space' member of the platform part of the RTC
device structure. This avoids the unreliable heuristics that does not
work in a setup where the RTC is not explicitly accessed with the usual
address and data window register pair.
* The ability to use the RTC periodic interrupt as a system clock
device, which is implemented by arch/mips/kernel/cevt-ds1287.c for
DECstation systems and takes the RTC interrupt away from the RTC driver.
Eventually hooking back to the clock device's interrupt handler should
be possible for the purpose of the alarm clock and possibly also
update-in-progress interrupt, but this is not done by this change.
o To avoid interfering with the clock interrupt all the places where
the RTC interrupt mask is fiddled with are only executed if and IRQ
has been assigned to the RTC driver.
o To avoid changing the clock setup Register A is not fiddled with
if CMOS_RTC_FLAGS_NOFREQ is set in the newly-added `flags' member of
the platform part of the RTC device structure. Originally, in
drivers/char/rtc.c, this was keyed with the absence of the RTC
interrupt, just like the interrupt mask, but there only the periodic
interrupt frequency is set, whereas rtc-cmos also sets the divider
bits. Therefore a new flag is introduced so that systems where the
RTC interrupt is not usable rather than used as a system clock device
can fully initialise the RTC.
* A small clean-up is made to the IRQ assignment code that makes the IRQ
number hardcoded to -1 rather than arbitrary -ENXIO (or whatever error
happens to be returned by platform_get_irq) where no IRQ has been
assigned to the RTC driver (NO_IRQ might be another candidate, but it
looks like this macro has inconsistent or missing definitions and
limited use and might therefore be unsafe).
Verified to work correctly with a DECstation 5000/240 system.

drivers/rtc/rtc-efi.c: avoid subtracting day twice when computing year days
Compared source code of rtc-lib.c::rtc_year_days() with
efirtc.c::rtc_year_days(), found the code in rtc-efi decreases value of
day twice when it computing year days. rtc-lib.c::rtc_year_days() has
already decrease days and return the year days from 0 to 365.

drivers/rtc/interface.c: fix for fix of alarm initialization
Seems the previous patch "fix infinite loop in initializing the alarm"
did break the infinite loop in alarm initialization, but not in the right
way. The loop indeed should walk through the not-leap years and stop on
the leap one.
This patch does apply on top of the previous one.

drivers/rtc/interface.c: fix infinite loop in initializing the alarm
In __rtc_read_alarm(), if the alarm time retrieved by
rtc_read_alarm_internal() from the device contains invalid values (e.g.
month=2,mday=31) and the year not set (=-1), the initialization will loop
infinitely because the year-fixing loop expects the time being invalid due
to leap year.
Fix reduces the loop to the leap years and adds final validity check.

kthreads: kill CLONE_KERNEL, change kernel_thread(kernel_init) to avoid CLONE_SIGHAND
1. Remove CLONE_KERNEL, it has no users and it is dangerous.
The (old) comment says "List of flags we want to share for kernel
threads" but this is not true, we do not want to share ->sighand by
default. This flag can only be used if the caller is sure that both
parent/child will never play with signals (say, allow_signal/etc).
2. Change rest_init() to clone kernel_init() without CLONE_SIGHAND.
In this case CLONE_SIGHAND does not really hurt, and it looks like
optimization because copy_sighand() can avoid kmem_cache_alloc().
But in fact this only adds the minor pessimization. kernel_init()
is going to exec the init process, and de_thread() will need to
unshare ->sighand and do kmem_cache_alloc(sighand_cachep) anyway,
but it needs to do more work and take tasklist_lock and siglock.

When a module is built into the kernel the module_init() function becomes
an initcall. Sometimes debugging through dynamic debug can help, however,
debugging built in kernel modules is typically done by changing the
.config, recompiling, and booting the new kernel in an effort to determine
exactly which module caused a problem.
This patchset can be useful stand-alone or combined with initcall_debug.
There are cases where some initcalls can hang the machine before the
console can be flushed, which can make initcall_debug output inaccurate.
Having the ability to skip initcalls can help further debugging of these
scenarios.
Usage: initcall_blacklist=<list of comma separated initcalls>
ex) added "initcall_blacklist=sgi_uv_sysfs_init" as a kernel parameter and
