Merge branch 'next-integrity' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/zohar/linux-integrity Pull integrity updates from Mimi Zohar: "Bug fixes, code clean up, and new features: - IMA policy rules can be defined in terms of LSM labels, making the IMA policy dependent on LSM policy label changes, in particular LSM label deletions. The new environment, in which IMA-appraisal is being used, frequently updates the LSM policy and permits LSM label deletions. - Prevent an mmap'ed shared file opened for write from also being mmap'ed execute. In the long term, making this and other similar changes at the VFS layer would be preferable. - The IMA per policy rule template format support is needed for a couple of new/proposed features (eg. kexec boot command line measurement, appended signatures, and VFS provided file hashes). - Other than the "boot-aggregate" record in the IMA measuremeent list, all other measurements are of file data. Measuring and storing the kexec boot command line in the IMA measurement list is the first buffer based measurement included in the measurement list" * 'next-integrity' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/zohar/linux-integrity: integrity: Introduce struct evm_xattr ima: Update MAX_TEMPLATE_NAME_LEN to fit largest reasonable definition KEXEC: Call ima_kexec_cmdline to measure the boot command line args IMA: Define a new template field buf IMA: Define a new hook to measure the kexec boot command line arguments IMA: support for per policy rule template formats integrity: Fix __integrity_init_keyring() section mismatch ima: Use designated initializers for struct ima_event_data ima: use the lsm policy update notifier LSM: switch to blocking policy update notifiers x86/ima: fix the Kconfig dependency for IMA_ARCH_POLICY ima: Make arch_policy_entry static ima: prevent a file already mmap'ed write to be mmap'ed execute x86/ima: check EFI SetupMode too

Pull keyring ACL support from David Howells: "This changes the permissions model used by keys and keyrings to be based on an internal ACL by the following means: - Replace the permissions mask internally with an ACL that contains a list of ACEs, each with a specific subject with a permissions mask. Potted default ACLs are available for new keys and keyrings. ACE subjects can be macroised to indicate the UID and GID specified on the key (which remain). Future commits will be able to add additional subject types, such as specific UIDs or domain tags/namespaces. Also split a number of permissions to give finer control. Examples include splitting the revocation permit from the change-attributes permit, thereby allowing someone to be granted permission to revoke a key without allowing them to change the owner; also the ability to join a keyring is split from the ability to link to it, thereby stopping a process accessing a keyring by joining it and thus acquiring use of possessor permits. - Provide a keyctl to allow the granting or denial of one or more permits to a specific subject. Direct access to the ACL is not granted, and the ACL cannot be viewed" * tag 'keys-acl-20190703' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/dhowells/linux-fs: keys: Provide KEYCTL_GRANT_PERMISSION keys: Replace uid/gid/perm permissions checking with an ACL

Merge tag 'keys-namespace-20190627' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/dhowells/linux-fs Pull keyring namespacing from David Howells: "These patches help make keys and keyrings more namespace aware. Firstly some miscellaneous patches to make the process easier: - Simplify key index_key handling so that the word-sized chunks assoc_array requires don't have to be shifted about, making it easier to add more bits into the key. - Cache the hash value in the key so that we don't have to calculate on every key we examine during a search (it involves a bunch of multiplications). - Allow keying_search() to search non-recursively. Then the main patches: - Make it so that keyring names are per-user_namespace from the point of view of KEYCTL_JOIN_SESSION_KEYRING so that they're not accessible cross-user_namespace. keyctl_capabilities() shows KEYCTL_CAPS1_NS_KEYRING_NAME for this. - Move the user and user-session keyrings to the user_namespace rather than the user_struct. This prevents them propagating directly across user_namespaces boundaries (ie. the KEY_SPEC_* flags will only pick from the current user_namespace). - Make it possible to include the target namespace in which the key shall operate in the index_key. This will allow the possibility of multiple keys with the same description, but different target domains to be held in the same keyring. keyctl_capabilities() shows KEYCTL_CAPS1_NS_KEY_TAG for this. - Make it so that keys are implicitly invalidated by removal of a domain tag, causing them to be garbage collected. - Institute a network namespace domain tag that allows keys to be differentiated by the network namespace in which they operate. New keys that are of a type marked 'KEY_TYPE_NET_DOMAIN' are assigned the network domain in force when they are created. - Make it so that the desired network namespace can be handed down into the request_key() mechanism. This allows AFS, NFS, etc. to request keys specific to the network namespace of the superblock. This also means that the keys in the DNS record cache are thenceforth namespaced, provided network filesystems pass the appropriate network namespace down into dns_query(). For DNS, AFS and NFS are good, whilst CIFS and Ceph are not. Other cache keyrings, such as idmapper keyrings, also need to set the domain tag - for which they need access to the network namespace of the superblock" * tag 'keys-namespace-20190627' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/dhowells/linux-fs: keys: Pass the network namespace into request_key mechanism keys: Network namespace domain tag keys: Garbage collect keys for which the domain has been removed keys: Include target namespace in match criteria keys: Move the user and user-session keyrings to the user_namespace keys: Namespace keyring names keys: Add a 'recurse' flag for keyring searches keys: Cache the hash value to avoid lots of recalculation keys: Simplify key description management

Merge tag 'keys-request-20190626' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/dhowells/linux-fs Pull request_key improvements from David Howells: "These are all request_key()-related, including a fix and some improvements: - Fix the lack of a Link permission check on a key found by request_key(), thereby enabling request_key() to link keys that don't grant this permission to the target keyring (which must still grant Write permission). Note that the key must be in the caller's keyrings already to be found. - Invalidate used request_key authentication keys rather than revoking them, so that they get cleaned up immediately rather than hanging around till the expiry time is passed. - Move the RCU locks outwards from the keyring search functions so that a request_key_rcu() can be provided. This can be called in RCU mode, so it can't sleep and can't upcall - but it can be called from LOOKUP_RCU pathwalk mode. - Cache the latest positive result of request_key*() temporarily in task_struct so that filesystems that make a lot of request_key() calls during pathwalk can take advantage of it to avoid having to redo the searching. This requires CONFIG_KEYS_REQUEST_CACHE=y. It is assumed that the key just found is likely to be used multiple times in each step in an RCU pathwalk, and is likely to be reused for the next step too. Note that the cleanup of the cache is done on TIF_NOTIFY_RESUME, just before userspace resumes, and on exit" * tag 'keys-request-20190626' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/dhowells/linux-fs: keys: Kill off request_key_async{,_with_auxdata} keys: Cache result of request_key*() temporarily in task_struct keys: Provide request_key_rcu() keys: Move the RCU locks outwards from the keyring search functions keys: Invalidate used request_key authentication keys keys: Fix request_key() lack of Link perm check on found key

Pull tpm updates from Jarkko Sakkinen: "This contains two critical bug fixes and support for obtaining TPM events triggered by ExitBootServices(). For the latter I have to give a quite verbose explanation not least because I had to revisit all the details myself to remember what was going on in Matthew's patches. The preboot software stack maintains an event log that gets entries every time something gets hashed to any of the PCR registers. What gets hashed could be a component to be run or perhaps log of some actions taken just to give couple of coarse examples. In general, anything relevant for the boot process that the preboot software does gets hashed and a log entry with a specific event type [1]. The main application for this is remote attestation and the reason why it is useful is nicely put in the very first section of [1]: "Attestation is used to provide information about the platform’s state to a challenger. However, PCR contents are difficult to interpret; therefore, attestation is typically more useful when the PCR contents are accompanied by a measurement log. While not trusted on their own, the measurement log contains a richer set of information than do the PCR contents. The PCR contents are used to provide the validation of the measurement log." Because EFI_TCG2_PROTOCOL.GetEventLog() is not available after calling ExitBootServices(), Linux EFI stub copies the event log to a custom configuration table. Unfortunately, ExitBootServices() also generates events and obviously these events do not get copied to that table. Luckily firmware does this for us by providing a configuration table identified by EFI_TCG2_FINAL_EVENTS_TABLE_GUID. This essentially contains necessary changes to provide the full event log for the use the user space that is concatenated from these two partial event logs [2]" [1] https://trustedcomputinggroup.org/resource/pc-client-specific-platform-firmware-profile-specification/ [2] The final concatenation is done in drivers/char/tpm/eventlog/efi.c * tag 'tpmdd-next-20190625' of git://git.infradead.org/users/jjs/linux-tpmdd: tpm: Don't duplicate events from the final event log in the TCG2 log Abstract out support for locating an EFI config table tpm: Fix TPM 1.2 Shutdown sequence to prevent future TPM operations efi: Attempt to get the TCG2 event log in the boot stub tpm: Append the final event log to the TPM event log tpm: Reserve the TPM final events table tpm: Abstract crypto agile event size calculations tpm: Actually fail on TPM errors during "get random"

This is a refinement of the energy aware scheduling framework with support for boosting of interactive and capping of background workloads: to make sure critical GUI threads get maximum frequency ASAP, and to make sure background processing doesn't unnecessarily move to cpufreq governor to higher frequencies and less energy efficient CPU modes. - Add the bare minimum of tracepoints required for LISA EAS regression testing, by Qais Yousef - which allows automated testing of various power management features, including energy aware scheduling. - Restructure the former tsk_nr_cpus_allowed() facility that the -rt kernel used to modify the scheduler's CPU affinity logic such as migrate_disable() - introduce the task->cpus_ptr value instead of taking the address of &task->cpus_allowed directly - by Sebastian Andrzej Siewior. - Misc optimizations, fixes, cleanups and small enhancements - see the Git log for details. * 'sched-core-for-linus' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/tip/tip: (33 commits) sched/uclamp: Add uclamp support to energy_compute() sched/uclamp: Add uclamp_util_with() sched/cpufreq, sched/uclamp: Add clamps for FAIR and RT tasks sched/uclamp: Set default clamps for RT tasks sched/uclamp: Reset uclamp values on RESET_ON_FORK sched/uclamp: Extend sched_setattr() to support utilization clamping sched/core: Allow sched_setattr() to use the current policy sched/uclamp: Add system default clamps sched/uclamp: Enforce last task's UCLAMP_MAX sched/uclamp: Add bucket local max tracking sched/uclamp: Add CPU's clamp buckets refcounting sched/fair: Rename weighted_cpuload() to cpu_runnable_load() sched/debug: Export the newly added tracepoints sched/debug: Add sched_overutilized tracepoint sched/debug: Add new tracepoint to track PELT at se level sched/debug: Add new tracepoints to track PELT at rq level sched/debug: Add a new sched_trace_*() helper functions sched/autogroup: Make autogroup_path() always available sched/wait: Deduplicate code with do-while sched/topology: Remove unused 'sd' parameter from arch_scale_cpu_capacity() ...

Pull locking updates from Ingo Molnar: "The main changes in this cycle are: - rwsem scalability improvements, phase #2, by Waiman Long, which are rather impressive: "On a 2-socket 40-core 80-thread Skylake system with 40 reader and writer locking threads, the min/mean/max locking operations done in a 5-second testing window before the patchset were: 40 readers, Iterations Min/Mean/Max = 1,807/1,808/1,810 40 writers, Iterations Min/Mean/Max = 1,807/50,344/151,255 After the patchset, they became: 40 readers, Iterations Min/Mean/Max = 30,057/31,359/32,741 40 writers, Iterations Min/Mean/Max = 94,466/95,845/97,098" There's a lot of changes to the locking implementation that makes it similar to qrwlock, including owner handoff for more fair locking. Another microbenchmark shows how across the spectrum the improvements are: "With a locking microbenchmark running on 5.1 based kernel, the total locking rates (in kops/s) on a 2-socket Skylake system with equal numbers of readers and writers (mixed) before and after this patchset were: # of Threads Before Patch After Patch ------------ ------------ ----------- 2 2,618 4,193 4 1,202 3,726 8 802 3,622 16 729 3,359 32 319 2,826 64 102 2,744" The changes are extensive and the patch-set has been through several iterations addressing various locking workloads. There might be more regressions, but unless they are pathological I believe we want to use this new implementation as the baseline going forward. - jump-label optimizations by Daniel Bristot de Oliveira: the primary motivation was to remove IPI disturbance of isolated RT-workload CPUs, which resulted in the implementation of batched jump-label updates. Beyond the improvement of the real-time characteristics kernel, in one test this patchset improved static key update overhead from 57 msecs to just 1.4 msecs - which is a nice speedup as well. - atomic64_t cross-arch type cleanups by Mark Rutland: over the last ~10 years of atomic64_t existence the various types used by the APIs only had to be self-consistent within each architecture - which means they became wildly inconsistent across architectures. Mark puts and end to this by reworking all the atomic64 implementations to use 's64' as the base type for atomic64_t, and to ensure that this type is consistently used for parameters and return values in the API, avoiding further problems in this area. - A large set of small improvements to lockdep by Yuyang Du: type cleanups, output cleanups, function return type and othr cleanups all around the place. - A set of percpu ops cleanups and fixes by Peter Zijlstra. - Misc other changes - please see the Git log for more details" * 'locking-core-for-linus' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/tip/tip: (82 commits) locking/lockdep: increase size of counters for lockdep statistics locking/atomics: Use sed(1) instead of non-standard head(1) option locking/lockdep: Move mark_lock() inside CONFIG_TRACE_IRQFLAGS && CONFIG_PROVE_LOCKING x86/jump_label: Make tp_vec_nr static x86/percpu: Optimize raw_cpu_xchg() x86/percpu, sched/fair: Avoid local_clock() x86/percpu, x86/irq: Relax {set,get}_irq_regs() x86/percpu: Relax smp_processor_id() x86/percpu: Differentiate this_cpu_{}() and __this_cpu_{}() locking/rwsem: Guard against making count negative locking/rwsem: Adaptive disabling of reader optimistic spinning locking/rwsem: Enable time-based spinning on reader-owned rwsem locking/rwsem: Make rwsem->owner an atomic_long_t locking/rwsem: Enable readers spinning on writer locking/rwsem: Clarify usage of owner's nonspinaable bit locking/rwsem: Wake up almost all readers in wait queue locking/rwsem: More optimal RT task handling of null owner locking/rwsem: Always release wait_lock before waking up tasks locking/rwsem: Implement lock handoff to prevent lock starvation locking/rwsem: Make rwsem_spin_on_owner() return owner state ...

Pull x96 apic updates from Thomas Gleixner: "Updates for the x86 APIC interrupt handling and APIC timer: - Fix a long standing issue with spurious interrupts which was caused by the big vector management rework a few years ago. Robert Hodaszi provided finally enough debug data and an excellent initial failure analysis which allowed to understand the underlying issues. This contains a change to the core interrupt management code which is required to handle this correctly for the APIC/IO_APIC. The core changes are NOOPs for most architectures except ARM64. ARM64 is not impacted by the change as confirmed by Marc Zyngier. - Newer systems allow to disable the PIT clock for power saving causing panic in the timer interrupt delivery check of the IO/APIC when the HPET timer is not enabled either. While the clock could be turned on this would cause an endless whack a mole game to chase the proper register in each affected chipset. These systems provide the relevant frequencies for TSC, CPU and the local APIC timer via CPUID and/or MSRs, which allows to avoid the PIT/HPET based calibration. As the calibration code is the only usage of the legacy timers on modern systems and is skipped anyway when the frequencies are known already, there is no point in setting up the PIT and actually checking for the interrupt delivery via IO/APIC. To achieve this on a wide variety of platforms, the CPUID/MSR based frequency readout has been made more robust, which also allowed to remove quite some workarounds which turned out to be not longer required.

The command line option `no387' is designed to disable the FPU entirely. This only 'works' with CONFIG_MATH_EMULATION enabled. But on 64bit this cannot work because user space expects SSE to work which required basic FPU support. MATH_EMULATION does not help because SSE is not emulated. The command line option `nofxsr' should also be limited to 32bit because FXSR is part of the required flags on 64bit so turning it off is not possible. Clearing X86_FEATURE_FPU without emulation enabled will not work anyway and hang in fpu__init_system_early_generic() before the console is enabled. Setting additioal dependencies, ensures that the CPU still boots on a modern CPU. Otherwise, dropping FPU will leave FXSR enabled causing the kernel to crash early in fpu__init_system_mxcsr(). With XSAVE support it will crash in fpu__init_cpu_xstate(). The problem is that xsetbv() with XMM set and SSE cleared is not allowed. That means XSAVE has to be disabled. The XSAVE support is disabled in fpu__init_system_xstate_size_legacy() but it is too late. It can be removed, it has been added in commit 1f999ab5 ("x86, xsave: Disable xsave in i387 emulation mode") to use `no387' on a CPU with XSAVE support. All this happens before console output. After hat, the next possible crash is in RAID6 detect code because MMX remained enabled. With a 3DNOW enabled config it will explode in memcpy() for instance due to kernel_fpu_begin() but this is unconditionally enabled. This is enough to boot a Debian Wheezy on a 32bit qemu "host" CPU which supports everything up to XSAVES, AVX2 without 3DNOW. Later, Debian increased the minimum requirements to i686 which means it does not boot userland atleast due to CMOV. After masking the additional features it still keeps SSE4A and 3DNOW* enabled (if present on the host) but those are unused in the kernel. Restrict `no387' and `nofxsr' otions to 32bit only. Add dependencies for FPU, FXSR to additionaly mask CMOV, MMX, XSAVE if FXSR or FPU is cleared.

The flag hints the user that the pinned timers will always be run on a static CPU (because that should be what "pinned" means...) but that's not the truth, at least with the current implementation. For example, currently if a pinned timer is set up but later mod_timer() upon the pinned timer is invoked, mod_timer() will still try to queue the timer on the current processor and migrate the timer if necessary. Document it a bit with the definition of TIMER_PINNED so that all future users will use it correctly.
