coredump: set_dumpable: fix the theoretical race with itself
set_dumpable() updates MMF_DUMPABLE_MASK in a non-trivial way to ensure

And in theory commit_creds()->set_dumpable(SUID_DUMP_ROOT) racing with

Change this code to update both bits atomically via cmpxchg().
Note: this assumes that it is safe to mix bitops and cmpxchg. IOW, if,
say, an architecture implements cmpxchg() using the locking (like

kmod: run usermodehelpers only on cpus allowed for kthreadd V2
usermodehelper() threads can currently run on all processors. This is an
issue for low latency cores. Spawnig a new thread causes cpu holdoffs in
the range of hundreds of microseconds to a few milliseconds. Not good for
cores on which processes run that need to react as fast as possible.
kthreadd threads can be restricted using taskset to a limited set of
processors. Then the kernel thread pool will not fork processes on those
anymore thereby protecting those processors from additional latencies.
Make usermodehelper() threads obey the limitations that kthreadd is
restricted to. Kthreadd is not the parent of usermodehelper threads so we
need to explicitly get the allowed processors for kthreadd.
Before this patch there is no way to limit the cpus that usermodehelper
can run on since the affinity is set when the thread is spawned to all
processors.

fat: add fat_fallocate operation
Implement preallocation via the fallocate syscall on VFAT partitions.
This patch is based on an earlier patch of the same name which had some
issues detailed below and did not get accepted. Refer
https://lkml.org/lkml/2007/12/22/130.
a) The preallocated space was not persistent when the
FALLOC_FL_KEEP_SIZE flag was set. It will deallocate cluster at evict time.
b) There was no need to zero out the clusters when the flag was set
Instead of doing an expanding truncate, just allocate clusters and add
them to the fat chain. This reduces preallocation time.
Compatibility with windows:
There are no issues when FALLOC_FL_KEEP_SIZE is not set
because it just does an expanding truncate. Thus reading from the
preallocated area on windows returns null until data is written to it.
When a file with preallocated area using the FALLOC_FL_KEEP_SIZE was
written to on windows, the windows driver freed-up the preallocated
clusters and allocated new clusters for the new data. The freed up
clusters gets reflected in the free space available for the partition
which can be seen from the Volume properties.
The windows chkdsk tool also does not report any errors on a
disk containing files with preallocated space.
And there is also no issue using linux fat fsck.
because discard preallocated clusters at repair time.

HFS+ resource fork lookup breaks opendir() library function. Since
opendir first calls open() with O_DIRECTORY flag set. O_DIRECTORY means
"refuse to open if not a directory". The open system call in the kernel
does a check for inode->i_op->lookup and returns -ENOTDIR. So if
hfsplus_file_lookup is set it allows opendir() for plain files.
Also resource fork lookup in HFS+ does not work. Since it is never
invoked after VFS permission checking. It will always return with
-EACCES.
When we call opendir() on a file, it does not return NULL. opendir()
library call is based on open with O_DIRECTORY flag passed and then
layered on top of getdents() system call. O_DIRECTORY means "refuse to
open if not a directory".
The open() system call in the kernel does a check for: do_sys_open()
-->..--> can_lookup() i.e it only checks inode->i_op->lookup and returns
ENOTDIR if this function pointer is not set.
In OSX, we can open "file/rsrc" to get the resource fork of "file". This
behavior is emulated inside hfsplus on Linux, which means that to some
degree every file acts like a directory. That is the reason lookup()
inode operations is supported for files, and it is possible to do a lookup
on this specific name. As a result of this open succeeds without
returning ENOTDIR for HFS+
Please see the LKML discussion thread on this issue:
http://marc.info/?l=linux-fsdevel&m=122823343730412&w=2
I tried to test file/rsrc lookup in HFS+ driver and the feature does not
work. From OSX:
$ touch test
$ echo "1234" > test/..namedfork/rsrc
$ ls -l test..namedfork/rsrc
--rw-r--r-- 1 tuxera staff 5 10 dec 12:59 test/..namedfork/rsrc
[sougata@ultrabook tmp]$ id
uid=1000(sougata) gid=1000(sougata) groups=1000(sougata),5(tty),18(dialout),1001(vboxusers)
[sougata@ultrabook tmp]$ mount
/dev/sdb1 on /mnt/tmp type hfsplus (rw,relatime,umask=0,uid=1000,gid=1000,nls=utf8)
I guess now that permission checking happens in vfs generic_permission() ?
So it turns out that even though the lookup() inode_operation exists for
HFS+ files. It cannot really get invoked ?. So if we can disable this

autofs: fix symlinks aren't checked for expiry
The autofs4 module doesn't consider symlinks for expire as it did in the
older autofs v3 module (so it's actually a long standing regression).
The user space daemon has focused on the use of bind mounts instead of
symlinks for a long time now and that's why this has not been noticed.
But with the future addition of amd map parsing to automount(8), not to
mention amd itself (of am-utils), symlink expiry will be needed.
The direct and offset mount types can't be symlinks and the tree mounts of
version 4 were always real mounts so only indirect mounts need expire
symlinks.
Since the current users of the autofs4 module haven't reported this as a
problem to date this patch probably isn't a candidate for backport to
stable.

So send the pid values that are valid in the namespace of the autofs daemon.
The namespace to use is taken from the oz_pgrp pid pointer, which was set

autofs4: allow autofs to work outside the initial PID namespace
Enable autofs4 to work in a "container". oz_pgrp is converted from pid_t
to struct pid and this is stored at mount time based on the "pgrp=" option
or if the option is missing then the current pgrp.
The "pgrp=" option is interpreted in the PID namespace of the current
process. This option is flawed in that it doesn't carry the namespace
information, so it should be deprecated. AFAICS the autofs daemon always
sends the current pgrp, which is the default anyway.
The oz_pgrp is also set from the AUTOFS_DEV_IOCTL_SETPIPEFD_CMD ioctl.
This ioctl sets oz_pgrp to the current pgrp. It is not allowed to change
the pid namespace.
oz_pgrp is used mainly to determine whether the process traversing the
autofs mount tree is the autofs daemon itself or not. This function now
compares the pid pointers instead of the pid_t values.
One other use of oz_pgrp is in autofs4_show_options. There is shows the
virtual pid number (i.e. the one that is valid inside the PID namespace
of the calling process)
For debugging printk convert oz_pgrp to the value in the initial pid
namespace.

test: add minimal module for verification testing
This is a pair of test modules I'd like to see in the tree. Instead of
putting these in lkdtm, where I've been adding various tests that trigger
crashes, these don't make sense there since they need to be either
distinctly separate, or their pass/fail state don't need to crash the
machine.
These live in lib/ for now, along with a few other in-kernel test modules,
and use the slightly more common "test_" naming convention, instead of
"test-". We should likely standardize on the former:
The first is entirely a no-op module, designed to allow simple testing of
the module loading and verification interface. It's useful to have a
module that has no other uses or dependencies so it can be reliably used
for just testing module loading and verification.
The second is a module that exercises the user memory access functions, in
an effort to make sure that we can quickly catch any regressions in
boundary checking (e.g. like what was recently fixed on ARM).
This patch (of 2):
When doing module loading verification tests (for example, with module
signing, or LSM hooks), it is very handy to have a module that can be
built on all systems under test, isn't auto-loaded at boot, and has no

Most mobile phones have Ambient Light Sensors and it changes brightness
according to the lux. It means it changes backlight brightness frequently
by just writing sysfs node, so it generates uevent.
Usually there's no user to use this backlight changes. But it forks udev
worker threads and it takes about 5ms. The main problem is that it hurts
other process activities. so remove it.
Kay said
"Uevents are for the major, low-frequent, global device state-changes,
not for carrying-out any sort of measurement data. Subsystems which
need that should use other facilities like poll()-able sysfs file or
any other subscription-based, client-tracking interface which does not
cause overhead if it isn't used. Uevents are not the right thing to
use here, and upstream udev should not paper-over broken kernel
subsystems."

get_maintainer: add commit author information to --rolestats
get_maintainer currently uses "Signed-off-by" style lines to find
interested parties to send patches to when the MAINTAINERS file does not
have a specific section entry with a matching file pattern.
Add statistics for commit authors and lines added and deleted to the
information provided by --rolestats.
These statistics are also emitted whenever --rolestats and --git are
selected even when there is a specified maintainer.
This can have the effect of expanding the number of people that are shown
as possible "maintainers" of a particular file because "authors",
"added_lines", and "removed_lines" are also used as criterion for the
--max-maintainers option separate from the "commit_signers".
The first "--git-max-maintainers" values of each criterion
are emitted. Any "ties" are not shown.

stack protector: provide -fstack-protector-strong build option
This changes the stack protector config option into a choice of "None",
"Regular", and "Strong". For "Strong", the kernel is built with
-fstack-protector-strong (gcc 4.9 and later). This options increases the
coverage of the stack protector without the heavy performance hit of
-fstack-protector-all.
For reference, the stack protector options available in gcc are:
-fstack-protector-all:
Adds the stack-canary saving prefix and stack-canary checking suffix to
_all_ function entry and exit. Results in substantial use of stack space
for saving the canary for deep stack users (e.g. historically xfs), and
measurable (though shockingly still low) performance hit due to all the
saving/checking. Really not suitable for sane systems, and was entirely
removed as an option from the kernel many years ago.
-fstack-protector:
Adds the canary save/check to functions that define an 8
(--param=ssp-buffer-size=N, N=8 by default) or more byte local char
array. Traditionally, stack overflows happened with string-based
manipulations, so this was a way to find those functions. Very few
total functions actually get the canary; no measurable performance or
size overhead.
-fstack-protector-strong
Adds the canary for a wider set of functions, since it's not just those
with strings that have ultimately been vulnerable to stack-busting. With
this superset, more functions end up with a canary, but it still remains
small compared to all functions with no measurable change in performance.
Based on the original design document, a function gets the canary when it
contains any of:
- local variable's address used as part of the RHS of an assignment or
function argument
- local variable is an array (or union containing an array), regardless
of array type or length
- uses register local variables
https://docs.google.com/a/google.com/document/d/1xXBH6rRZue4f296vGt9YQcuLVQHeE516stHwt8M9xyU
Comparison of "size" and "objdump" output when built with gcc-4.9 in
three configurations:
- defconfig 11430641 text size
36110 function bodies
- defconfig + CONFIG_CC_STACKPROTECTOR 11468490 text size (+0.33%)
1015 of 36110 functions stack-protected (2.81%)
- defconfig + CONFIG_CC_STACKPROTECTOR_STRONG via this patch 11692790 text size (+2.24%)
7401 of 36110 functions stack-protected (20.5%)
With -strong, ARM's compressed boot code now triggers stack protection, so
a static guard was added. Since this is only used during decompression
and was never used before, the exposure here is very small. Once it
switches to the full kernel, the stack guard is back to normal.
Chrome OS has been using -fstack-protector-strong for its kernel builds
for the last 8 months with no problems.
