When fget fails, the lack of error-handling code may cause unexpected results. This patch adds error-handling code after calling fget. Link: http://lkml.kernel.org/r/2514ec03df9c33b86e56748513267a80dd8004d9.1558117389.git.jaharkes@cs.cmu.eduSigned-off-by:

Part of a patch by Mikko Rapeli, as Arnd Bergman commented on the original patch. pid_t might differ between libc and the kernel, so the kernel interface has to use types that the kernel defines.

Patch series "Coda updates". The following patch series is a collection of various fixes for Coda, most of which were collected from linux-fsdevel or linux-kernel but which have as yet not found their way upstream. This patch (of 22): Various file systems expect that vma->vm_file points at their own file handle, several use file_inode(vma->vm_file) to get at their inode or use vma->vm_file->private_data. However the way Coda wrapped mmap on a host file broke this assumption, vm_file was still pointing at the Coda file and the host file systems would scribble over Coda's inode and private file data. This patch fixes the incorrect expectation and wraps vm_ops->open and vm_ops->close to allow Coda to track when the vm_area_struct is destroyed so we still release the reference on the Coda file handle at the right time.

Architectures which support kprobes have very similar boilerplate around calling kprobe_fault_handler(). Use a helper function in kprobes.h to unify them, based on the x86 code. This changes the behaviour for other architectures when preemption is enabled. Previously, they would have disabled preemption while calling the kprobe handler. However, preemption would be disabled if this fault was due to a kprobe, so we know the fault was not due to a kprobe handler and can simply return failure. This behaviour was introduced in commit a980c0ef ("x86/kprobes: Refactor kprobes_fault() like kprobe_exceptions_notify()") [anshuman.khandual@arm.com: export kprobe_fault_handler()] Link: http://lkml.kernel.org/r/1561133358-8876-1-git-send-email-anshuman.khandual@arm.com Link: http://lkml.kernel.org/r/1560420444-25737-1-git-send-email-anshuman.khandual@arm.comSigned-off-by:

As was already noted in rbtree.h, the logic to cache rb_first (or rb_last) can easily be implemented externally to the core rbtree api. Change the implementation to do just that. Previously the update of rb_leftmost was wired deeper into the implmentation, but there were some disadvantages to that - mostly, lib/rbtree.c had separate instantiations for rb_insert_color() vs rb_insert_color_cached(), as well as rb_erase() vs rb_erase_cached(), which were doing exactly the same thing save for the rb_leftmost update at the start of either function. text data bss dec hex filename 5405 120 0 5525 1595 lib/rbtree.o-vanilla 3827 96 0 3923 f53 lib/rbtree.o-patch [dave@stgolabs.net: changelog addition] Link: http://lkml.kernel.org/r/20190628171416.by5gdizl3rcxk5h5@linux-r8p5 [akpm@linux-foundation.org: coding-style fixes] Link: http://lkml.kernel.org/r/20190628045008.39926-1-walken@google.comSigned-off-by:

Finish up what commit c2febafc ("mm: convert generic code to 5-level paging") started while levelling up P4D huge mapping support at par with PUD and PMD. A new arch call back arch_ioremap_p4d_supported() is added which just maintains status quo (P4D huge map not supported) on x86, arm64 and powerpc. When HAVE_ARCH_HUGE_VMAP is enabled its just a simple check from the arch about the support, hence runtime effects are minimal.

If a memsetXX implementation is completely broken and fails in the first iteration, when i, j, and k are all zero, the failure is masked as zero is returned. Failing in the first iteration is perhaps the most likely failure, so this makes the tests pretty much useless. Avoid the situation by always setting a random unused bit in the result on failure.

Patch series "lib/string: search for NUL with strchr/strnchr". I noticed an inconsistency where strchr and strnchr do not behave the same with respect to the trailing NUL. strchr is standardised and the kernel function conforms, and the kernel relies on the behavior. So, naturally strchr stays as-is and strnchr is what I change. While writing a few tests to verify that my new strnchr loop was sane, I noticed that the tests for memset16/32/64 had a problem. Since it's all about the lib/string.c file I made a short series of it all... This patch (of 3): strchr considers the terminating NUL to be part of the string, and NUL can thus be searched for with that function. For consistency, do the same with strnchr.

BIT(), GENMASK(), etc. are useful to define register bits of hardware. However, low-level code is often written in assembly, where they are not available due to the hard-coded 1UL, 0UL. In fact, in-kernel headers such as arch/arm64/include/asm/sysreg.h use _BITUL() instead of BIT() so that the register bit macros are available in assembly. Using macros in include/uapi/linux/const.h have two reasons: [1] For use in uapi headers We should use underscore-prefixed variants for user-space. [2] For use in assembly code Since _BITUL() uses UL(1) instead of 1UL, it can be used as an alternative of BIT(). For [2], it is pretty easy to change BIT() etc. for use in assembly. This allows to replace _BUTUL() in kernel-space headers with BIT(). Link: http://lkml.kernel.org/r/20190609153941.17249-1-yamada.masahiro@socionext.comSigned-off-by:

Normally, the inode's i_uid/i_gid are translated relative to s_user_ns, but this is not a correct behavior for proc. Since sysctl permission check in test_perm is done against GLOBAL_ROOT_[UG]ID, it makes more sense to use these values in u_[ug]id of proc inodes. In other words: although uid/gid in the inode is not read during test_perm, the inode logically belongs to the root of the namespace. I have confirmed this with Eric Biederman at LPC and in this thread: https://lore.kernel.org/lkml/87k1kzjdff.fsf@xmission.com Consequences ============ Since the i_[ug]id values of proc nodes are not used for permissions checks, this change usually makes no functional difference. However, it causes an issue in a setup where: * a namespace container is created without root user in container - hence the i_[ug]id of proc nodes are set to INVALID_[UG]ID * container creator tries to configure it by writing /proc/sys files, e.g. writing /proc/sys/kernel/shmmax to configure shared memory limit Kernel does not allow to open an inode for writing if its i_[ug]id are invalid, making it impossible to write shmmax and thus - configure the container. Using a container with no root mapping is apparently rare, but we do use this configuration at Google. Also, we use a generic tool to configure the container limits, and the inability to write any of them causes a failure. History ======= The invalid uids/gids in inodes first appeared due to 81754357 (fs: Update i_[ug]id_(read|write) to translate relative to s_user_ns). However, AFAIK, this did not immediately cause any issues. The inability to write to these "invalid" inodes was only caused by a later commit 0bd23d09 (vfs: Don't modify inodes with a uid or gid unknown to the vfs). Tested: Used a repro program that creates a user namespace without any mapping and stat'ed /proc/$PID/root/proc/sys/kernel/shmmax from outside. Before the change, it shows the overflow uid, with the change it's 0. The overflow uid indicates that the uid in the inode is not correct and thus it is not possible to open the file for writing.

Since commit 2724273e ("vmcore: add API to collect hardware dump in second kernel"), drivers are allowed to add device related dump data to vmcore as they want by using the device dump API. This has a potential issue, the data is stored in memory, drivers may append too much data and use too much memory. The vmcore is typically used in a kdump kernel which runs in a pre-reserved small chunk of memory. So as a result it will make kdump unusable at all due to OOM issues. So introduce new 'novmcoredd' command line option. User can disable device dump to reduce memory usage. This is helpful if device dump is using too much memory, disabling device dump could make sure a regular vmcore without device dump data is still available.

Test tries to access vsyscall page and if it doesn't exist gets SIGSEGV which can spam into dmesg. However the segfault happens by design. Handle it and carry information via exit code to parent. Link: http://lkml.kernel.org/r/20190524181256.GA2260@avx2Signed-off-by:

The whole header file deals with swap entries and PTEs, none of which can exist for nommu builds. The current nommu ports have lots of stubs to allow the inline functions in swapops.h to compile, but as none of this functionality is actually used there is no point in even providing it. This way we don't have to provide the stubs for the upcoming RISC-V nommu port, and can eventually remove it from the existing ports.

We can't expose UAPI symbols differently based on CONFIG_ symbols, as userspace won't have them available. Instead always define the flag, but only respect it based on the config option. Link: http://lkml.kernel.org/r/20190703122359.18200-2-hch@lst.deSigned-off-by:

The description of cma_declare_contiguous() indicates that if the 'fixed' argument is true the reserved contiguous area must be exactly at the address of the 'base' argument. However, the function currently allows the 'base', 'size', and 'limit' arguments to be silently adjusted to meet alignment constraints. This commit enforces the documented behavior through explicit checks that return an error if the region does not fit within a specified region.

z3fold_page_migration() calls memcpy(new_zhdr, zhdr, PAGE_SIZE). However, zhdr contains fields that can't be directly coppied over (ex: list_head, a circular linked list). We only need to initialize the linked lists in new_zhdr, as z3fold_isolate_page() already ensures that these lists are empty Additionally it is possible that zhdr->work has been placed in a workqueue. In this case we shouldn't migrate the page, as zhdr->work references zhdr as opposed to new_zhdr.

Six sites are presently altering current->reclaim_state. There is a risk that one function stomps on a caller's value. Use a helper function to catch such errors.
