      stackprotector: Introduce CONFIG_CC_STACKPROTECTOR_STRONG · 8779657d
      Kees Cook authored 
      This changes the stack protector config option into a choice of
"None", "Regular", and "Strong":

   CONFIG_CC_STACKPROTECTOR_NONE
   CONFIG_CC_STACKPROTECTOR_REGULAR
   CONFIG_CC_STACKPROTECTOR_STRONG

"Regular" means the old CONFIG_CC_STACKPROTECTOR=y option.

"Strong" is a new mode introduced by this patch. With "Strong" the
kernel is built with -fstack-protector-strong (available in
gcc 4.9 and later). This option 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 only a small 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 right hand side
      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

Find below a comparison of "size" and "objdump" output when built with
gcc-4.9 in three configurations:

  - defconfig
	11430641 kernel text size
	36110 function bodies

  - defconfig + CONFIG_CC_STACKPROTECTOR_REGULAR
	11468490 kernel text size (+0.33%)
	1015 of 36110 functions are stack-protected (2.81%)

  - defconfig + CONFIG_CC_STACKPROTECTOR_STRONG via this patch
	11692790 kernel text size (+2.24%)
	7401 of 36110 functions are 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.

      stackprotector: Unify the HAVE_CC_STACKPROTECTOR logic between architectures · 19952a92
      Kees Cook authored 
      Instead of duplicating the CC_STACKPROTECTOR Kconfig and
Makefile logic in each architecture, switch to using
HAVE_CC_STACKPROTECTOR and keep everything in one place. This
retains the x86-specific bug verification scripts.

      null_blk: mem garbage on NUMA systems during init · 57053d8c
      Matias Bjorling authored 
      For NUMA systems, initializing the blk-mq layer and using per node hctx.
We initialize submit queues to 1, while blk-mq nr_hw_queues is
initialized to the number of NUMA nodes.

This makes the null_init_hctx function overwrite memory outside of what
it allocated.  In my case it lead to writing garbage into struct
request_queue's mq_map.

      radeon_pm: fix oops in hwmon_attributes_visible() and radeon_hwmon_show_temp_thresh() · e4158f1b
      Sergey Senozhatsky authored 
      Since commit ec39f64b ("drm/radeon/dpm: Convert to use
devm_hwmon_register_with_groups") radeon_hwmon_init() is using
hwmon_device_register_with_groups(), which sets `rdev' as a device
private driver_data, while hwmon_attributes_visible() and
radeon_hwmon_show_temp_thresh() are still waiting for `drm_device'.

Fix them by using dev_get_drvdata(), in order to avoid this oops:

      Pull networking fixes from David Miller:

 1) Revert CHECKSUM_COMPLETE optimization in pskb_trim_rcsum(), I can't
    figure out why it breaks things.

 2) Fix comparison in netfilter ipset's hash_netnet4_data_equal(), it
    was basically doing "x == x", from Dave Jones.

 3) Freescale FEC driver was DMA mapping the wrong number of bytes, from
    Sebastian Siewior.

 4) Blackhole and prohibit routes in ipv6 were not doing the right thing
    because their ->input and ->output methods were not being assigned
    correctly.  Now they behave properly like their ipv4 counterparts.
    From Kamala R.

 5) Several drivers advertise the NETIF_F_FRAGLIST capability, but
    really do not support this feature and will send garbage packets if
    fed fraglist SKBs.  From Eric Dumazet.

 6) Fix long standing user triggerable BUG_ON over loopback in RDS
    protocol stack, from Venkat Venkatsubra.

 7) Several not so common code paths can potentially try to invoke
    packet scheduler actions that might be NULL without checking.  Shore
    things up by either 1) defining a method as mandatory and erroring
    on registration if that method is NULL 2) defininig a method as
    optional and the registration function hooks up a default
    implementation when NULL is seen.  From Jamal Hadi Salim.

 8) Fix fragment detection in xen-natback driver, from Paul Durrant.

 9) Kill dangling enter_memory_pressure method in cg_proto ops, from
    Eric W Biederman.

10) SKBs that traverse namespaces should have their local_df cleared,
    from Hannes Frederic Sowa.

11) IOCB file position is not being updated by macvtap_aio_read() and
    tun_chr_aio_read().  From Zhi Yong Wu.

12) Don't free virtio_net netdev before releasing all of the NAPI
    instances.  From Andrey Vagin.

13) Procfs entry leak in xt_hashlimit, from Sergey Popovich.

14) IPv6 routes that are no cached routes should not count against the
    garbage collection limits.  We had this almost right, but were
    missing handling addrconf generated routes properly.  From Hannes
    Frederic Sowa.

15) fib{4,6}_rule_suppress() have to consider potentially seeing NULL
    route info when they are called, from Stefan Tomanek.

16) TUN and MACVTAP have had truncated packet signalling for some time,
    fix from Jason Wang.

17) Fix use after frrr in __udp4_lib_rcv(), from Eric Dumazet.

18) xen-netback does not interpret the NAPI budget properly for TX work,
    fix from Paul Durrant.

      Linus Torvalds authored 
      This reverts commit 102aefdd.

Tom London reports that it causes sync() to hang on Fedora rawhide:

  https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=1033965

and Josh Boyer bisected it down to this commit.  Reverting the commit in
the rawhide kernel fixes the problem.

Eric Paris root-caused it to incorrect subtype matching in that commit
breaking fuse, and has a tentative patch, but by now we're better off
retrying this in 3.14 rather than playing with it any more.
