Currently the gsmi driver registers a panic notifier as well as reboot and die notifiers. The callbacks registered are called in atomic and very limited context - for instance, panic disables preemption and local IRQs, also all secondary CPUs (not executing the panic path) are shutdown. With that said, taking a spinlock in this scenario is a dangerous invitation for lockup scenarios. So, fix that by checking if the spinlock is free to acquire in the panic notifier callback - if not, bail-out and avoid a potential hang.

Zero-length arrays are deprecated and we are moving towards adopting C99 flexible-array members, instead. So, replace zero-length array declarations in a couple of structures and unions with the new DECLARE_FLEX_ARRAY() helper macro. This helper allows for a flexible-array member in a union and as only member in a structure. Also, this addresses multiple warnings reported when building with Clang-15 and -Wzero-length-array. Lastly, this will also help memcpy (in a coming hardening update) execute proper bounds-checking on variable length object i_symlink at fs/ocfs2/namei.c:1973: fs/ocfs2/namei.c: 1973 memcpy((char *) fe->id2.i_symlink, symname, l); Link: https://github.com/KSPP/linux/issues/21 Link: https://github.com/KSPP/linux/issues/193 Link: https://github.com/KSPP/linux/issues/197 Link: https://gcc.gnu.org/onlinedocs/gcc/Zero-Length.html Link: https://lkml.kernel.org/r/YxKY6O2hmdwNh8r8@workSigned-off-by:

Kernel iterates over ATTR_RECORDs in mft record in ntfs_attr_find(). Because the ATTR_RECORDs are next to each other, kernel can get the next ATTR_RECORD from end address of current ATTR_RECORD, through current ATTR_RECORD length field. The problem is that during iteration, when kernel calculates the end address of current ATTR_RECORD, kernel may trigger an integer overflow bug in executing `a = (ATTR_RECORD*)((u8*)a + le32_to_cpu(a->length))`. This may wrap, leading to a forever iteration on 32bit systems. This patch solves it by adding some checks on calculating end address of current ATTR_RECORD during iteration.

Patch series "ntfs: fix bugs about Attribute", v2. This patchset fixes three bugs relative to Attribute in record: Patch 1 adds a sanity check to ensure that, attrs_offset field in first mft record loading from disk is within bounds. Patch 2 moves the ATTR_RECORD's bounds checking earlier, to avoid dereferencing ATTR_RECORD before checking this ATTR_RECORD is within bounds. Patch 3 adds an overflow checking to avoid possible forever loop in ntfs_attr_find(). Without patch 1 and patch 2, the kernel triggersa KASAN use-after-free detection as reported by Syzkaller. Although one of patch 1 or patch 2 can fix this, we still need both of them. Because patch 1 fixes the root cause, and patch 2 not only fixes the direct cause, but also fixes the potential out-of-bounds bug. This patch (of 3): Syzkaller reported use-after-free read as follows: ================================================================== BUG: KASAN: use-after-free in ntfs_attr_find+0xc02/0xce0 fs/ntfs/attrib.c:597 Read of size 2 at addr ffff88807e352009 by task syz-executor153/3607 [...] Call Trace: <TASK> __dump_stack lib/dump_stack.c:88 [inline] dump_stack_lvl+0xcd/0x134 lib/dump_stack.c:106 print_address_description mm/kasan/report.c:317 [inline] print_report.cold+0x2ba/0x719 mm/kasan/report.c:433 kasan_report+0xb1/0x1e0 mm/kasan/report.c:495 ntfs_attr_find+0xc02/0xce0 fs/ntfs/attrib.c:597 ntfs_attr_lookup+0x1056/0x2070 fs/ntfs/attrib.c:1193 ntfs_read_inode_mount+0x89a/0x2580 fs/ntfs/inode.c:1845 ntfs_fill_super+0x1799/0x9320 fs/ntfs/super.c:2854 mount_bdev+0x34d/0x410 fs/super.c:1400 legacy_get_tree+0x105/0x220 fs/fs_context.c:610 vfs_get_tree+0x89/0x2f0 fs/super.c:1530 do_new_mount fs/namespace.c:3040 [inline] path_mount+0x1326/0x1e20 fs/namespace.c:3370 do_mount fs/namespace.c:3383 [inline] __do_sys_mount fs/namespace.c:3591 [inline] __se_sys_mount fs/namespace.c:3568 [inline] __x64_sys_mount+0x27f/0x300 fs/namespace.c:3568 do_syscall_x64 arch/x86/entry/common.c:50 [inline] do_syscall_64+0x35/0xb0 arch/x86/entry/common.c:80 entry_SYSCALL_64_after_hwframe+0x63/0xcd [...] </TASK> The buggy address belongs to the physical page: page:ffffea0001f8d400 refcount:1 mapcount:0 mapping:0000000000000000 index:0x0 pfn:0x7e350 head:ffffea0001f8d400 order:3 compound_mapcount:0 compound_pincount:0 flags: 0xfff00000010200(slab|head|node=0|zone=1|lastcpupid=0x7ff) raw: 00fff00000010200 0000000000000000 dead000000000122 ffff888011842140 raw: 0000000000000000 0000000000040004 00000001ffffffff 0000000000000000 page dumped because: kasan: bad access detected Memory state around the buggy address: ffff88807e351f00: fc fc fc fc fc fc fc fc fc fc fc fc fc fc fc fc ffff88807e351f80: fc fc fc fc fc fc fc fc fc fc fc fc fc fc fc fc >ffff88807e352000: fa fb fb fb fb fb fb fb fb fb fb fb fb fb fb fb ^ ffff88807e352080: fb fb fb fb fb fb fb fb fb fb fb fb fb fb fb fb ffff88807e352100: fb fb fb fb fb fb fb fb fb fb fb fb fb fb fb fb ================================================================== Kernel will loads $MFT/$DATA's first mft record in ntfs_read_inode_mount(). Yet the problem is that after loading, kernel doesn't check whether attrs_offset field is a valid value. To be more specific, if attrs_offset field is larger than bytes_allocated field, then it may trigger the out-of-bounds read bug(reported as use-after-free bug) in ntfs_attr_find(), when kernel tries to access the corresponding mft record's attribute. This patch solves it by adding the sanity check between attrs_offset field and bytes_allocated field, after loading the first mft record.

kmap() is being deprecated in favor of kmap_local_page(). Two main problems with kmap(): (1) It comes with an overhead as mapping space is restricted and protected by a global lock for synchronization and (2) it also requires global TLB invalidation when the kmap's pool wraps and it might block when the mapping space is fully utilized until a slot becomes available. With kmap_local_page() the mappings are per thread, CPU local, can take page faults, and can be called from any context (including interrupts). It is faster than kmap() in kernels with HIGHMEM enabled. Furthermore, the tasks can be preempted and, when they are scheduled to run again, the kernel virtual addresses are restored and still valid. Since its use in btree.c is safe everywhere, it should be preferred. Therefore, replace kmap() with kmap_local_page() in btree.c. Where possible, use the suited standard helpers (memzero_page(), memcpy_page()) instead of open coding kmap_local_page() plus memset() or memcpy(). Tested in a QEMU/KVM x86_32 VM, 6GB RAM, booting a kernel with HIGHMEM64GB enabled. Link: https://lkml.kernel.org/r/20220821180400.8198-4-fmdefrancesco@gmail.comSigned-off-by:

Two main problems with kmap(): (1) It comes with an overhead as mapping space is restricted and protected by a global lock for synchronization and (2) it also requires global TLB invalidation when the kmap's pool wraps and it might block when the mapping space is fully utilized until a slot becomes available. With kmap_local_page() the mappings are per thread, CPU local, can take page faults, and can be called from any context (including interrupts). It is faster than kmap() in kernels with HIGHMEM enabled. Furthermore, the tasks can be preempted and, when they are scheduled to run again, the kernel virtual addresses are restored and still valid. Since its use in bnode.c is safe everywhere, it should be preferred. Therefore, replace kmap() with kmap_local_page() in bnode.c. Where possible, use the suited standard helpers (memzero_page(), memcpy_page()) instead of open coding kmap_local_page() plus memset() or memcpy(). Tested in a QEMU/KVM x86_32 VM, 6GB RAM, booting a kernel with HIGHMEM64GB enabled. Link: https://lkml.kernel.org/r/20220821180400.8198-3-fmdefrancesco@gmail.comSigned-off-by:

Patch series "hfs: Replace kmap() with kmap_local_page()". kmap() is being deprecated in favor of kmap_local_page(). There are two main problems with kmap(): (1) It comes with an overhead as mapping space is restricted and protected by a global lock for synchronization and (2) it also requires global TLB invalidation when the kmaps pool wraps and it might block when the mapping space is fully utilized until a slot becomes available. With kmap_local_page() the mappings are per thread, CPU local, can take page faults, and can be called from any context (including interrupts). It is faster than kmap() in kernels with HIGHMEM enabled. Furthermore, the tasks can be preempted and, when they are scheduled to run again, the kernel virtual addresses are restored and still valid. Since its use in fs/hfs is safe everywhere, it should be preferred. Therefore, replace kmap() with kmap_local_page() in fs/hfs. Where possible, use the suited standard helpers (memzero_page(), memcpy_page()) instead of open coding kmap_local_page() plus memset() or memcpy(). Fix a bug due to a page being not unmapped if the code jumps to the "fail_page" label (1/3). Tested in a QEMU/KVM x86_32 VM, 6GB RAM, booting a kernel with HIGHMEM64GB enabled. This patch (of 3): Several paths within hfs_btree_open() jump to the "fail_page" label where put_page() is called while the page is still mapped. Call kunmap() to unmap the page soon before put_page().

Use atomic64_try_cmpxchg instead of atomic64_cmpxchg (*ptr, old, new) == old in inode_set_max_iversion_raw, inode_maybe_inc_version and inode_query_iversion. x86 CMPXCHG instruction returns success in ZF flag, so this change saves a compare after cmpxchg (and related move instruction in front of cmpxchg). Also, try_cmpxchg implicitly assigns old *ptr value to "old" when cmpxchg fails, enabling further code simplifications. The loop in inode_maybe_inc_iversion improves from: 5563: 48 89 ca mov %rcx,%rdx 5566: 48 89 c8 mov %rcx,%rax 5569: 48 83 e2 fe and $0xfffffffffffffffe,%rdx 556d: 48 83 c2 02 add $0x2,%rdx 5571: f0 48 0f b1 16 lock cmpxchg %rdx,(%rsi) 5576: 48 39 c1 cmp %rax,%rcx 5579: 0f 84 85 fc ff ff je 5204 <...> 557f: 48 89 c1 mov %rax,%rcx 5582: eb df jmp 5563 <...> to: 5563: 48 89 c2 mov %rax,%rdx 5566: 48 83 e2 fe and $0xfffffffffffffffe,%rdx 556a: 48 83 c2 02 add $0x2,%rdx 556e: f0 48 0f b1 11 lock cmpxchg %rdx,(%rcx) 5573: 0f 84 8b fc ff ff je 5204 <...> 5579: eb e8 jmp 5563 <...> Link: https://lkml.kernel.org/r/20220821193011.88208-1-ubizjak@gmail.comSigned-off-by: -

clock_gettime(CLOCK_MONOTONIC, &tp) is very precise on ia64 as it uses ITC (similar to rdtsc on x86). It's not quite a hrtimer as it is a few times slower than 1ns. Usually 2-3ns. clock_getres(CLOCK_MONOTONIC, &res) never reflected that fact and reported 0.04s precision (1/HZ value). In https://bugs.gentoo.org/596382 gstreamer's test suite failed loudly when it noticed precision discrepancy. Before the change: clock_getres(CLOCK_MONOTONIC, &res) reported 250Hz precision. After the change: clock_getres(CLOCK_MONOTONIC, &res) reports ITC (400Mhz) precision. The patch is based on matoro's fix. I added a bit of explanation why we need to special-case arch-specific clock_getres().
