      powerpc/modules: Fix crashes by adding CONFIG_RELOCATABLE to vermagic · 73aca179
      Michael Ellerman authored
      If you build the kernel with CONFIG_RELOCATABLE=n, then install the
      modules, rebuild the kernel with CONFIG_RELOCATABLE=y and leave the
      old modules installed, we crash something like:
      
        Unable to handle kernel paging request for data at address 0xd000000018d66cef
        Faulting instruction address: 0xc0000000021ddd08
        Oops: Kernel access of bad area, sig: 11 [#1]

          system_call+0x58/0x6c
      
      This happens because since commit 71810db2 ("modversions: treat
      symbol CRCs as 32 bit quantities"), a relocatable kernel encodes and
      handles symbol CRCs differently from a non-relocatable kernel.
      
      Although it's possible we could try and detect this situation and
      handle it, it's much more robust to simply make the state of
      CONFIG_RELOCATABLE part of the module vermagic.
      
      Fixes: 71810db2 ("modversions: treat symbol CRCs as 32 bit quantities")

       "Notable changes:
      
         - Support for 4PB user address space on 64-bit, opt-in via mmap().
      
         - Removal of POWER4 support, which was accidentally broken in 2016
           and no one noticed, and blocked use of some modern instructions.
      
         - Workarounds so that the hypervisor can enable Transactional Memory
           on Power9.
      
         - A series to disable the DAWR (Data Address Watchpoint Register) on
           Power9.
      
         - More information displayed in the meltdown/spectre_v1/v2 sysfs
           files.
      
         - A vpermxor (Power8 Altivec) implementation for the raid6 Q
           Syndrome.
      
         - A big series to make the allocation of our pacas (per cpu area),
           kernel page tables, and per-cpu stacks NUMA aware when using the
           Radix MMU on Power9.
      
        And as usual many fixes, reworks and cleanups.

      Pull leaking-addresses updates from Tobin Harding:
       "This set represents improvements to the scripts/leaking_addresses.pl
        script.
      
        The major improvement is that with this set applied the script
        actually runs in a reasonable amount of time (less than a minute on a
        standard stock Ubuntu user desktop). Also, we have a second maintainer
        now and a tree hosted on kernel.org
      
        We do a few code clean ups. We fix the command help output. Handling
        of the vsyscall address range is fixed to check the whole range
        instead of just the start/end addresses. We add support for 5 page
        table levels (suggested on LKML). We use a system command to get the
        machine architecture instead of using Perl. Calling this command for
        every regex comparison is what previously choked the script, caching
        the result of this call gave the major speed improvement. We add
        support for scanning 32-bit kernels using the user/kernel memory
        split. Path skipping code refactored and simplified (meaning easier
        script configuration). We remove version numbering. We add a variable
        name to improve readability of a regex and finally we check filenames
        for leaking addresses.
      
        Currently script scans /proc/PID for all PID. With this set applied we
        only scan for PID==1. It was observed that on an idle system files
        under /proc/PID are predominantly the same for all processes. Also it
        was noted that the script does not scan _all_ the kernel since it only
        scans active processes. Scanning only for PID==1 makes explicit the
        inherent flaw in the script that the scan is only partial and also
        speeds things up"

      Merge tag 'fscache-next-20180406' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/dhowells/linux-fs
      
      Pull fscache updates from David Howells:
       "Three patches that fix some of AFS's usage of fscache:
      
         (1) Need to invalidate the cache if a foreign data change is detected
             on the server.
      
         (2) Move the vnode ID uniquifier (equivalent to i_generation) from
             the auxiliary data to the index key to prevent a race between
             file delete and a subsequent file create seeing the same index
             key.
      
         (3) Need to retire cookies that correspond to files that we think got
             deleted on the server.
      
        Four patches to fix some things in fscache and cachefiles:
      
         (4) Fix a couple of checker warnings.
      
         (5) Correctly indicate to the end-of-operation callback whether an
             operation completed or was cancelled.
      
         (6) Add a check for multiple cookie relinquishment.
      
         (7) Fix a path through the asynchronous write that doesn't wake up a
             waiter for a page if the cache decides not to write that page,
             but discards it instead.
      
        A couple of patches to add tracepoints to fscache and cachefiles:
      
         (8) Add tracepoints for cookie operators, object state machine
             execution, cachefiles object management and cachefiles VFS
             operations.
      
         (9) Add tracepoints for fscache operation management and page
             wrangling.
      
        And then three development patches:
      
        (10) Attach the index key and auxiliary data to the cookie, pass this
             information through various fscache-netfs API functions and get
             rid of the callbacks to the netfs to get it.
      
             This means that the cache can get at this information, even if
             the netfs goes away. It also means that the cache can be lazy in
             updating the coherency data.
      
        (11) Pass the object data size through various fscache-netfs API
             rather than calling back to the netfs for it, and store the value
             in the object.
      
             This makes it easier to correctly resize the object, as the size
             is updated on writes to the cache, rather than calling back out
             to the netfs.
      
        (12) Maintain a catalogue of allocated cookies. This makes it possible
             to catch cookie collision up front rather than down in the bowels
             of the cache being run from a service thread from the object
             state machine.
      
             This will also make it possible in the future to reconnect to a
             cookie that's not gone dead yet because it's waiting for
             finalisation of the storage and also make it possible to bring
             cookies online if the cache is added after the cookie has been
             obtained"

      Pull rdma updates from Jason Gunthorpe:
       "Doug and I are at a conference next week so if another PR is sent I
        expect it to only be bug fixes. Parav noted yesterday that there are
        some fringe case behavior changes in his work that he would like to
        fix, and I see that Intel has a number of rc looking patches for HFI1
        they posted yesterday.
      
        Parav is again the biggest contributor by patch count with his ongoing
        work to enable container support in the RDMA stack, followed by Leon
        doing syzkaller inspired cleanups, though most of the actual fixing
        went to RC.
      
        There is one uncomfortable series here fixing the user ABI to actually
        work as intended in 32 bit mode. There are lots of notes in the commit
        messages, but the basic summary is we don't think there is an actual
        32 bit kernel user of drivers/infiniband for several good reasons.
      
        However we are seeing people want to use a 32 bit user space with 64
        bit kernel, which didn't completely work today. So in fixing it we
        required a 32 bit rxe user to upgrade their userspace. rxe users are
        still already quite rare and we think a 32 bit one is non-existing.
      
         - Fix RDMA uapi headers to actually compile in userspace and be more
           complete
      
         - Three shared with netdev pull requests from Mellanox:
      
            * 7 patches, mostly to net with 1 IB related one at the back).
              This series addresses an IRQ performance issue (patch 1),
              cleanups related to the fix for the IRQ performance problem
              (patches 2-6), and then extends the fragmented completion queue
              support that already exists in the net side of the driver to the
              ib side of the driver (patch 7).
      
            * Mostly IB, with 5 patches to net that are needed to support the
              remaining 10 patches to the IB subsystem. This series extends
              the current 'representor' framework when the mlx5 driver is in
              switchdev mode from being a netdev only construct to being a
              netdev/IB dev construct. The IB dev is limited to raw Eth queue
              pairs only, but by having an IB dev of this type attached to the
              representor for a switchdev port, it enables DPDK to work on the
              switchdev device.
      
            * All net related, but needed as infrastructure for the rdma
              driver

      leaking_addresses: skip all /proc/PID except /proc/1 · 472c9e10
      Tobin C. Harding authored
      When the system is idle it is likely that most files under /proc/PID
      will be identical for various processes.  Scanning _all_ the PIDs under
      /proc is unnecessary and implies that we are thoroughly scanning /proc.
      This is _not_ the case because there may be ways userspace can trigger
      creation of /proc files that leak addresses but were not present during
      a scan.  For these two reasons we should exclude all PID directories
      under /proc except '1/'

      leaking_addresses: add 32-bit support · 1410fe4e
      Tobin C. Harding authored
      Currently script only supports x86_64 and ppc64.  It would be nice to be
      able to scan 32-bit machines also.  We can add support for 32-bit
      architectures by modifying how we check for false positives, taking
      advantage of the page offset used by the kernel, and using the correct
      regular expression.
      
      Support for 32-bit machines is enabled by the observation that the kernel
      addresses on 32-bit machines are larger [in value] than the page offset.
      We can use this to filter false positives when scanning the kernel for
      leaking addresses.
      
      Programmatic determination of the running architecture is not
      immediately obvious (current 32-bit machines return various strings from
      `uname -m`).  We therefore provide a flag to enable scanning of 32-bit
      kernels.  Also we can check the kernel config file for the offset and if
      not found default to 0xc0000000.  A command line option to parse in the
      page offset is also provided.  We do automatically detect architecture
      if running on ix86.
      
      Add support for 32-bit kernels.  Add a command line option for page
      offset.

      Pull SELinux updates from Paul Moore:
       "A bigger than usual pull request for SELinux, 13 patches (lucky!)
        along with a scary looking diffstat.
      
        Although if you look a bit closer, excluding the usual minor
        tweaks/fixes, there are really only two significant changes in this
        pull request: the addition of proper SELinux access controls for SCTP
        and the encapsulation of a lot of internal SELinux state.
      
        The SCTP changes are the result of a multi-month effort (maybe even a
        year or longer?) between the SELinux folks and the SCTP folks to add
        proper SELinux controls. A special thanks go to Richard for seeing
        this through and keeping the effort moving forward.
      
        The state encapsulation work is a bit of janitorial work that came out
        of some early work on SELinux namespacing. The question of namespacing
        is still an open one, but I believe there is some real value in the
        encapsulation work so we've split that out and are now sending that up
        to you"

           to be not very practical)

           them more forgiving

      Pull device mapper updates from Mike Snitzer:
      
       - DM core passthrough ioctl fix to retain reference to DM table, and
         that table's block devices, while issuing the ioctl to one of those
         block devices.
      
       - DM core passthrough ioctl fix to _not_ override the fmode_t used to
         issue the ioctl. Overriding by using the fmode_t that the block
         device was originally open with during DM table load is a liability.
      
       - Add DM core support for secure erase forwarding and update the DM
         linear and DM striped targets to support them.
      
       - A DM core 4.16 stable fix to allow abnormal IO (e.g. discard, write
         same, write zeroes) for targets that make use of the non-splitting IO
         variant (as is done for multipath or thinp when layered directly on
         NVMe).
      
       - Allow DM targets to return a payload in response to a DM message that
         they are sent. This is useful for DM targets that would like to
         provide statistics data in response to DM messages.
      
       - Update DM bufio to support non-power-of-2 block sizes. Numerous other
         related changes prepare the DM bufio code for this support.
      
       - Fix DM crypt to use a bounded amount of memory across the entire
         system. This is to avoid OOM that can otherwise occur in response to
         certain pathological IO workloads (e.g. discarding a large DM crypt
         device).
      
       - Add a 'check_at_most_once' feature to the DM verity target to allow
         verity to be used on mobile devices that have very limited resources.
      
       - Fix the DM integrity target to fail early if a keyed algorithm (e.g.
         HMAC) is to be used but the key isn't set.
      
       - Add non-power-of-2 support to the DM unstripe target.
      
       - Eliminate the use of a Variable Length Array in the DM stripe target.
      
       - Update the DM log-writes target to record metadata (REQ_META flag).
      
       - DM raid fixes for its nosync status and some variable range issues.

      fscache: Maintain a catalogue of allocated cookies · ec0328e4
      David Howells authored
      Maintain a catalogue of allocated cookies so that cookie collisions can be
      handled properly.  For the moment, this just involves printing a warning
      and returning a NULL cookie to the caller of fscache_acquire_cookie(), but
      in future it might make sense to wait for the old cookie to finish being
      cleaned up.
      
      This requires the cookie key to be stored attached to the cookie so that we
      still have the key available if the netfs relinquishes the cookie.  This is
      done by an earlier patch.
      
      The catalogue also renders redundant fscache_netfs_list (used for checking
      for duplicates), so that can be removed.

      fscache: Pass object size in rather than calling back for it · ee1235a9
      David Howells authored
      Pass the object size in to fscache_acquire_cookie() and
      fscache_write_page() rather than the netfs providing a callback by which it
      can be received.  This makes it easier to update the size of the object
      when a new page is written that extends the object.
      
      The current object size is also passed by fscache to the check_aux
      function, obviating the need to store it in the aux data.
