LZ4 compression and decompression functions require different in
signedness input/output parameters: unsigned char for compression and
signed char for decompression.
Change decompression API to require "(const) unsigned char *".
After previous cleanups and optimizations, this function is no longer
heavily used and we don't have a good reason to keep it. Update the few
remaining callers and get rid of it.
As suggested by Andrew, add a generic initial locking scheme used
throughout all sysv ipc mechanisms. Documenting the ids rwsem, how rcu
can be enough to do the initial checks and when to actually acquire the
kern_ipc_perm.lock spinlock.
I found that adding it to util.c was generic enough.
Clean up some of the messy do_shmat() spaghetti code, getting rid of
out_free and out_put_dentry labels. This makes shortening the critical
region of this function in the next patch a little easier to do and read.
With the *_INFO, *_STAT, IPC_RMID and IPC_SET commands already optimized,
deal with the remaining SHM_LOCK and SHM_UNLOCK commands. Take the
shm_perm lock after doing the initial auditing and security checks. The
rest of the logic remains unchanged.
While the INFO cmd doesn't take the ipc lock, the STAT commands do acquire
it unnecessarily. We can do the permissions and security checks only
holding the rcu lock.
Similar to semctl and msgctl, when calling msgctl, the *_INFO and *_STAT
commands can be performed without acquiring the ipc object.
Add a shmctl_nolock() function and move the logic of *_INFO and *_STAT out
of msgctl(). Since we are just moving functionality, this change still
takes the lock and it will be properly lockless in the next patch.
ipc,shm: introduce lockless functions to obtain the ipc object
This is the third and final patchset that deals with reducing the amount
of contention we impose on the ipc lock (kern_ipc_perm.lock). These
changes mostly deal with shared memory, previous work has already been
done for semaphores and message queues:
With these patches applied, a custom shm microbenchmark stressing shmctl
doing IPC_STAT with 4 threads a million times, reduces the execution
time by 50%. A similar run, this time with IPC_SET, reduces the
execution time from 3 mins and 35 secs to 27 seconds.
Patches 1-8: replaces blindly taking the ipc lock for a smarter
combination of rcu and ipc_obtain_object, only acquiring the spinlock
when updating.
Patch 9: renames the ids rw_mutex to rwsem, which is what it already was.
Patch 10: is a trivial mqueue leftover cleanup
Patch 11: adds a brief lock scheme description, requested by Andrew.
This patch:
Add shm_obtain_object() and shm_obtain_object_check(), which will allow us
to get the ipc object without acquiring the lock. Just as with other
forms of ipc, these functions are basically wrappers around
ipc_obtain_object*().

lib/radix-tree.c: make radix_tree_node_alloc() work correctly within interrupt
With users of radix_tree_preload() run from interrupt (block/blk-ioc.c is
one such possible user), the following race can happen:
radix_tree_preload()
...
radix_tree_insert()
radix_tree_node_alloc()
if (rtp->nr) {
ret = rtp->nodes[rtp->nr - 1];
<interrupt>
...
radix_tree_preload()
...
radix_tree_insert()
radix_tree_node_alloc()
if (rtp->nr) {
ret = rtp->nodes[rtp->nr - 1];
And we give out one radix tree node twice. That clearly results in radix
tree corruption with different results (usually OOPS) depending on which
two users of radix tree race.
We fix the problem by making radix_tree_node_alloc() always allocate fresh
radix tree nodes when in interrupt. Using preloading when in interrupt
doesn't make sense since all the allocations have to be atomic anyway and
we cannot steal nodes from process-context users because some users rely
on radix_tree_insert() succeeding after radix_tree_preload().
in_interrupt() check is somewhat ugly but we cannot simply key off passed
gfp_mask as that is acquired from root_gfp_mask() and thus the same for
all preload users.
Another part of the fix is to avoid node preallocation in
radix_tree_preload() when passed gfp_mask doesn't allow waiting. Again,
preallocation in such case doesn't make sense and when preallocation would
happen in interrupt we could possibly leak some allocated nodes. However,
some users of radix_tree_preload() require following radix_tree_insert()
to succeed. To avoid unexpected effects for these users,
radix_tree_preload() only warns if passed gfp mask doesn't allow waiting
and we provide a new function radix_tree_maybe_preload() for those users
which get different gfp mask from different call sites and which are
prepared to handle radix_tree_insert() failure.

Postorder iteration yields all of a node's children prior to yielding the
node itself, and this particular implementation also avoids examining the
leaf links in a node after that node has been yielded.
In what I expect will be its most common usage, postorder iteration allows
the deletion of every node in an rbtree without modifying the rbtree nodes
(no _requirement_ that they be nulled) while avoiding referencing child
nodes after they have been "deleted" (most commonly, freed).
I have only updated zswap to use this functionality at this point, but
numerous bits of code (most notably in the filesystem drivers) use a hand
rolled postorder iteration that NULLs child links as it traverses the
tree. Each of those instances could be replaced with this common
implementation.
1 & 2 add rbtree postorder iteration functions.
3 adds testing of the iteration to the rbtree runtime tests
4 allows building the rbtree runtime tests as builtins
5 updates zswap.

freeing an entire rbtree without modifying the tree at all.

One of the biggest problems with GPT is compatibility with older, non-GPT
systems. The problem is addressed by creating hybrid mbrs, an extension,
or variant, of the traditional protective mbr. This contains, apart from
the 0xEE partition, up three additional primary partitions that point to
the same space marked by up to three GPT partitions. The result is that
legacy OSs can see the three required MBR partitions and at the same time
ignore the GPT-aware partitions that protect the GPT structures.
While hybrid MBRs are hacks, workarounds and simply not part of the GPT
standard, they do exist and we have no way around them. For instance, by
default, OSX creates a hybrid scheme when using multi-OS booting.
In order for Linux to properly discover protective MBRs, it must be made
aware of devices that have hybrid MBRs. No functionality is changed by
this patch, just a debug message informing the user of the MBR scheme that
is being used.

partitions/efi: do not require gpt partition to begin at sector 1
When detecting a valid protective MBR, the Linux kernel isn't picky about
the partition (1-4) the 0xEE is at, but, unlike other operating systems,
it does require it to begin at the second sector (sector 1). This check,
apart from it not being enforced by UEFI, and causing Linux to potentially
fail to detect any *valid* partitions on the disk, can present problems
when dealing with hybrid MBRs[1].
For compatibility reasons, if the first partition is hybridized, the 0xEE
partition must be small enough to ensure that it only protects the GPT
data structures - as opposed to the the whole disk in a protective MBR.
This problem is very well described by Rod Smith[1]: where MBR-only
partitioning programs (such as older versions of fdisk) can see some of
the disk space as unallocated, thus loosing the purpose of the 0xEE
partition's protection of GPT data structures.
By dropping this check, this patch enables Linux to be more flexible when
probing for GPT disklabels.
Per the UEFI Specs 2.4, June 2013, the starting lba of the partition that
has the EFI GPT (0xEE) must be set to 0x00000001 - this is obviously the
LBA of the GPT Partition Header.

The kernel's GPT implementation currently uses the generic 'struct
partition' type for dealing with legacy MBR partition records. While this
is is useful for disklabels that we designed for CHS addressing, such as
msdos, it doesn't adapt well to newer standards that use LBA instead, such
as GUID partition tables. Furthermore, these generic partition structures
do not have all the required fields to properly follow the UEFI specs.
While a CHS address can be translated to LBA, it's much simpler and
cleaner to just replace the partition type. This patch adds a new
'gpt_record' type that is fully compliant with EFI and will allow, in the
next patches, to add more checks to properly verify a protective MBR,
which is paramount to probing a device that makes use of GPT.

vmcore: introduce ELF header in new memory feature
For s390 we want to use /proc/vmcore for our SCSI stand-alone dump
(zfcpdump). We have support where the first HSA_SIZE bytes are saved into
a hypervisor owned memory area (HSA) before the kdump kernel is booted.
When the kdump kernel starts, it is restricted to use only HSA_SIZE bytes.
The advantages of this mechanism are:
* No crashkernel memory has to be defined in the old kernel.
* Early boot problems (before kexec_load has been done) can be dumped
* Non-Linux systems can be dumped.
We modify the s390 copy_oldmem_page() function to read from the HSA memory
if memory below HSA_SIZE bytes is requested.
Since we cannot use the kexec tool to load the kernel in this scenario,
we have to build the ELF header in the 2nd (kdump/new) kernel.
So with the following patch set we would like to introduce the new
function that the ELF header for /proc/vmcore can be created in the 2nd
kernel memory.
The following steps are done during zfcpdump execution:
1. Production system crashes
2. User boots a SCSI disk that has been prepared with the zfcpdump tool
3. Hypervisor saves CPU state of boot CPU and HSA_SIZE bytes of memory into HSA
4. Boot loader loads kernel into low memory area
5. Kernel boots and uses only HSA_SIZE bytes of memory
6. Kernel saves registers of non-boot CPUs
7. Kernel does memory detection for dump memory map
8. Kernel creates ELF header for /proc/vmcore
9. /proc/vmcore uses this header for initialization
10. The zfcpdump user space reads /proc/vmcore to write dump to SCSI disk
- copy_oldmem_page() copies from HSA for memory below HSA_SIZE
- copy_oldmem_page() copies from real memory for memory above HSA_SIZE
Currently for s390 we create the ELF core header in the 2nd kernel with a
small trick. We relocate the addresses in the ELF header in a way that
for the /proc/vmcore code it seems to be in the 1st kernel (old) memory
and the read_from_oldmem() returns the correct data. This allows the
/proc/vmcore code to use the ELF header in the 2nd kernel.
This patch:
Exchange the old mechanism with the new and much cleaner function call
override feature that now offcially allows to create the ELF core header
in the 2nd kernel.
To use the new feature the following function have to be defined
by the architecture backend code to read from new memory:
* elfcorehdr_alloc: Allocate ELF header
* elfcorehdr_free: Free the memory of the ELF header
* elfcorehdr_read: Read from ELF header
* elfcorehdr_read_notes: Read from ELF notes

exec: cleanup the error handling in search_binary_handler()
The error hanling and ret-from-loop look confusing and inconsistent.
- "retval >= 0" simply returns
- "!bprm->file" returns too but with read_unlock() because
binfmt_lock was already re-acquired
- "retval != -ENOEXEC || bprm->mm == NULL" does "break" and
relies on the same check after the main loop
Consolidate these checks into a single if/return statement.
need_retry still checks "retval == -ENOEXEC", but this and -ENOENT before
the main loop are not needed. This is only for pathological and
impossible list_empty(&formats) case.
It is not clear why do we check "bprm->mm == NULL", probably this
should be removed.

It doesn't make sense to retry if request_module() fails to exec
/sbin/modprobe, add the additional "request_module() < 0" check.
However, this logic still doesn't look exactly right:
1. It would be better to check "request_module() != 0", the user
space modprobe process should report the correct exit code.
But I didn't dare to add the user-visible change.
2. The whole ENOEXEC logic looks suboptimal. Suppose that we try
to exec a "#!path-to-unsupported-binary" script. In this case
request_module() + "retry" will be done twice: first by the
"depth == 1" code, and then again by the "depth == 0" caller
which doesn't make sense.
3. And note that in the case above bprm->buf was already changed
by load_script()->prepare_binprm(), so this looks even more
ugly.

search_binary_handler() uses "for (try=0; try<2; try++)" to avoid "goto"
but the code looks too complicated and horrible imho. We still need to
check "try == 0" before request_module() and add the additional "break"
for !CONFIG_MODULES case.
Kill this loop and use a simple "bool need_retry" + "goto retry". The
code looks much simpler and we do not even need ifdef's, gcc can optimize
out the "if (need_retry)" block if !IS_ENABLED().

search_binary_handler() checks ->load_binary != NULL for no reason, this

it into __register_binfmt().
Also, kill the function pointer. The current code looks confusing, as if
->load_binary can go away after read_unlock(&binfmt_lock). But we rely on
module_get(fmt->module), this fmt can't be changed or unregistered,
otherwise this code is buggy anyway.

exec: move allow_write_access/fput to exec_binprm()
When search_binary_handler() succeeds it does allow_write_access() and
fput(), then it clears bprm->file to ensure the caller will not do the
same.
We can simply move this code to exec_binprm() which is called only once.
In fact we could move this to free_bprm() and remove the same code in

A separate one-liner with the minor fix.
PROC_EVENT_EXEC reports the "exec" event, but this message is sent at

recursively, say, load_script().
Move it to exec_binprm(), this is "depth == 0" code too.

proc_fd_permission() says "process can still access /proc/self/fd after it
has executed a setuid()", but the "task_pid() = proc_pid() check only
helps if the task is group leader, /proc/self points to
/proc/<leader-pid>.
Change this check to use task_tgid() so that the whole thread group can
access its /proc/self/fd or /proc/<tid-of-sub-thread>/fd.
Notes:
- CLONE_THREAD does not require CLONE_FILES so task->files
can differ, but I don't think this can lead to any security
problem. And this matches same_thread_group() in
__ptrace_may_access().
- /proc/self should probably point to /proc/<thread-tid>, but
it is too late to change the rules. Perhaps it makes sense
to add /proc/thread though.

The failure return need after mpol_cond_put() to match get_vma_policy().
Add a new %P variable to be used in core_pattern. This variable contains
the global PID (PID in the init namespace) as %p contains the PID in the
current namespace which isn't always what we want.
The main use for this is to make it easier to handle crashes that happened
within a container. With that new variables it's possible to have the
crashes dumped into the container or forwarded to the host with the right

__ptrace_may_access() should not deny sub-threads

For example, a sub-thread can't readlink("/proc/self/exe") if the
executable is not readable. setup_new_exec()->would_dump() notices that
inode_permission(MAY_READ) fails and then it does
set_dumpable(suid_dumpable). After that get_dumpable() fails.
(It is not clear why proc_pid_readlink() checks get_dumpable(), perhaps we
could add PTRACE_MODE_NODUMPABLE)

hfsplus: add necessary declarations for POSIX ACLs support
This patchset implements POSIX ACLs support in hfsplus driver.
Mac OS X beginning with version 10.4 ("Tiger") support NFSv4 ACLs, which
are part of the NFSv4 standard. HFS+ stores ACLs in the form of
specially named extended attributes (com.apple.system.Security).
But this patchset doesn't use "com.apple.system.Security" extended
attributes. It implements support of POSIX ACLs in the form of extended
attributes with names "system.posix_acl_access" and
"system.posix_acl_default". These xattrs are treated only under Linux.
POSIX ACLs doesn't mean something under Mac OS X. Thereby, this patch
set provides opportunity to use POSIX ACLs under Linux on HFS+
filesystem.
This patch:
Add CONFIG_HFSPLUS_FS_POSIX_ACL kernel configuration option, DBG_ACL_MOD
debugging flag and acl.h file with declaration of essential functions
for support POSIX ACLs in hfsplus driver.
