      exec: Remove LSM_UNSAFE_PTRACE_CAP · 9227dd2a
      Eric W. Biederman authored
      With previous changes every location that tests for
      LSM_UNSAFE_PTRACE_CAP also tests for LSM_UNSAFE_PTRACE making the
      LSM_UNSAFE_PTRACE_CAP redundant, so remove it.

      exec: Test the ptracer's saved cred to see if the tracee can gain caps · 20523132
      Eric W. Biederman authored
      Now that we have user namespaces and non-global capabilities verify
      the tracer has capabilities in the relevant user namespace instead
      of in the current_user_ns().
      
      As the test for setting LSM_UNSAFE_PTRACE_CAP is currently
      ptracer_capable(p, current_user_ns()) and the new task credentials are
      in current_user_ns() this change does not have any user visible change
      and simply moves the test to where it is used, making the code easier
      to read.

      exec: Don't reset euid and egid when the tracee has CAP_SETUID · 70169420
      Eric W. Biederman authored
      Don't reset euid and egid when the tracee has CAP_SETUID in
      it's user namespace.  I punted on relaxing this permission check
      long ago but now that I have read this code closely it is clear
      it is safe to test against CAP_SETUID in the user namespace.

      inotify: Convert to using per-namespace limits · 1cce1eea
      Nikolay Borisov authored
      This patchset converts inotify to using the newly introduced
      per-userns sysctl infrastructure.
      
      Currently the inotify instances/watches are being accounted in the
      user_struct structure. This means that in setups where multiple
      users in unprivileged containers map to the same underlying
      real user (i.e. pointing to the same user_struct) the inotify limits
      are going to be shared as well, allowing one user(or application) to exhaust
      all others limits.
      
      Fix this by switching the inotify sysctls to using the
      per-namespace/per-user limits. This will allow the server admin to
      set sensible global limits, which can further be tuned inside every
      individual user namespace. Additionally, in order to preserve the
      sysctl ABI make the existing inotify instances/watches sysctls
      modify the values of the initial user namespace.

      userns: Make ucounts lock irq-safe · 880a3854
      Nikolay Borisov authored
      The ucounts_lock is being used to protect various ucounts lifecycle
      management functionalities. However, those services can also be invoked
      when a pidns is being freed in an RCU callback (e.g. softirq context).
      This can lead to deadlocks. There were already efforts trying to
      prevent similar deadlocks in add7c65c ("pid: fix lockdep deadlock
      warning due to ucount_lock"), however they just moved the context
      from hardirq to softrq. Fix this issue once and for all by explictly
      making the lock disable irqs altogether.

      One cgroup maintainer mentioned that "cgroup is trying to offline
      a cpuset css, which takes place under cgroup_mutex.  The offlining
      ends up trying to drain active usages of a sysctl table which apprently
      is not happening."
      The real reason is that proc_sys_readdir doesn't drop reference added
      by grab_header when return from !dir_emit_dots path. So this cpuset
      offline path will wait here forever.

      mnt: Protect the mountpoint hashtable with mount_lock · 3895dbf8
      Eric W. Biederman authored
      Protecting the mountpoint hashtable with namespace_sem was sufficient
      until a call to umount_mnt was added to mntput_no_expire.  At which
      point it became possible for multiple calls of put_mountpoint on
      the same hash chain to happen on the same time.
      
      Kristen Johansen <kjlx@templeofstupid.com> reported:
      > This can cause a panic when simultaneous callers of put_mountpoint
      > attempt to free the same mountpoint.  This occurs because some callers
      > hold the mount_hash_lock, while others hold the namespace lock.  Some
      > even hold both.
      >
      > In this submitter's case, the panic manifested itself as a GP fault in
      > put_mountpoint() when it called hlist_del() and attempted to dereference
      > a m_hash.pprev that had been poisioned by another thread.
      
      Al Viro observed that the simple fix is to switch from using the namespace_sem
      to the mount_lock to protect the mountpoint hash table.
      
      I have taken Al's suggested patch moved put_mountpoint in pivot_root
      (instead of taking mount_lock an additional time), and have replaced
      new_mountpoint with get_mountpoint a function that does the hash table
      lookup and addition under the mount_lock.   The introduction of get_mounptoint
      ensures that only the mount_lock is needed to manipulate the mountpoint
      hashtable.
      
      d_set_mounted is modified to only set DCACHE_MOUNTED if it is not
      already set.  This allows get_mountpoint to use the setting of
      DCACHE_MOUNTED to ensure adding a struct mountpoint for a dentry
      happens exactly once.

      mm: optimize PageWaiters bit use for unlock_page() · b91e1302
      Linus Torvalds authored
      In commit 62906027 ("mm: add PageWaiters indicating tasks are
      waiting for a page bit") Nick Piggin made our page locking no longer
      unconditionally touch the hashed page waitqueue, which not only helps
      performance in general, but is particularly helpful on NUMA machines
      where the hashed wait queues can bounce around a lot.
      
      However, the "clear lock bit atomically and then test the waiters bit"
      sequence turns out to be much more expensive than it needs to be,
      because you get a nasty stall when trying to access the same word that
      just got updated atomically.
      
      On architectures where locking is done with LL/SC, this would be trivial
      to fix with a new primitive that clears one bit and tests another
      atomically, but that ends up not working on x86, where the only atomic
      operations that return the result end up being cmpxchg and xadd.  The
      atomic bit operations return the old value of the same bit we changed,
      not the value of an unrelated bit.
      
      On x86, we could put the lock bit in the high bit of the byte, and use
      "xadd" with that bit (where the overflow ends up not touching other
      bits), and look at the other bits of the result.  However, an even
      simpler model is to just use a regular atomic "and" to clear the lock
      bit, and then the sign bit in eflags will indicate the resulting state
      of the unrelated bit #7.
      
      So by moving the PageWaiters bit up to bit #7, we can atomically clear
      the lock bit and test the waiters bit on x86 too.  And architectures
      with LL/SC (which is all the usual RISC suspects), the particular bit
      doesn't matter, so they are fine with this approach too.
      
      This avoids the extra access to the same atomic word, and thus avoids
      the costly stall at page unlock time.
      
      The only downside is that the interface ends up being a bit odd and
      specialized: clear a bit in a byte, and test the sign bit.  Nick doesn't
      love the resulting name of the new primitive, but I'd rather make the
      name be descriptive and very clear about the limitation imposed by
      trying to work across all relevant architectures than make it be some
      generic thing that doesn't make the odd semantics explicit.
      
      So this introduces the new architecture primitive
      
          clear_bit_unlock_is_negative_byte();
      
      and adds the trivial implementation for x86.  We have a generic
      non-optimized fallback (that just does a "clear_bit()"+"test_bit(7)"
      combination) which can be overridden by any architecture that can do
      better.  According to Nick, Power has the same hickup x86 has, for
      example, but some other architectures may not even care.
      
      All these optimizations mean that my page locking stress-test (which is
      just executing a lot of small short-lived shell scripts: "make test" in
      the git source tree) no longer makes our page locking look horribly bad.
      Before all these optimizations, just the unlock_page() costs were just
      over 3% of all CPU overhead on "make test".  After this, it's down to
      0.66%, so just a quarter of the cost it used to be.
      
      (The difference on NUMA is bigger, but there this micro-optimization is
      likely less noticeable, since the big issue on NUMA was not the accesses
      to 'struct page', but the waitqueue accesses that were already removed
      by Nick's earlier commit).

       1) Various ipvlan fixes from Eric Dumazet and Mahesh Bandewar.
      
          The most important is to not assume the packet is RX just because
          the destination address matches that of the device. Such an
          assumption causes problems when an interface is put into loopback
          mode.
      
       2) If we retry when creating a new tc entry (because we dropped the
          RTNL mutex in order to load a module, for example) we end up with
          -EAGAIN and then loop trying to replay the request. But we didn't
          reset some state when looping back to the top like this, and if
          another thread meanwhile inserted the same tc entry we were trying
          to, we re-link it creating an enless loop in the tc chain. Fix from
          Daniel Borkmann.
      
       3) There are two different WRITE bits in the MDIO address register for
          the stmmac chip, depending upon the chip variant. Due to a bug we

      net, sched: fix soft lockup in tc_classify · 628185cf
      Daniel Borkmann authored
      Shahar reported a soft lockup in tc_classify(), where we run into an
      endless loop when walking the classifier chain due to tp->next == tp
      which is a state we should never run into. The issue only seems to
      trigger under load in the tc control path.
      
      What happens is that in tc_ctl_tfilter(), thread A allocates a new
      tp, initializes it, sets tp_created to 1, and calls into tp->ops->change()
      with it. In that classifier callback we had to unlock/lock the rtnl
      mutex and returned with -EAGAIN. One reason why we need to drop there
      is, for example, that we need to request an action module to be loaded.
      
      This happens via tcf_exts_validate() -> tcf_action_init/_1() meaning
      after we loaded and found the requested action, we need to redo the
      whole request so we don't race against others. While we had to unlock
      rtnl in that time, thread B's request was processed next on that CPU.
      Thread B added a new tp instance successfully to the classifier chain.
      When thread A returned grabbing the rtnl mutex again, propagating -EAGAIN
      and destroying its tp instance which never got linked, we goto replay
      and redo A's request.
      
      This time when walking the classifier chain in tc_ctl_tfilter() for
      checking for existing tp instances we had a priority match and found
      the tp instance that was created and linked by thread B. Now calling
      again into tp->ops->change() with that tp was successful and returned
      without error.
      
      tp_created was never cleared in the second round, thus kernel thinks
      that we need to link it into the classifier chain (once again). tp and
      *back point to the same object due to the match we had earlier on. Thus
      for thread B's already public tp, we reset tp->next to tp itself and
      link it into the chain, which eventually causes the mentioned endless
      loop in tc_classify() once a packet hits the data path.
      
      Fix is to clear tp_created at the beginning of each request, also when
      we replay it. On the paths that can cause -EAGAIN we already destroy
      the original tp instance we had and on replay we really need to start
      from scratch. It seems that this issue was first introduced in commit
      12186be7 ("net_cls: fix unconfigured struct tcf_proto keeps chaining
      and avoid kernel panic when we use cls_cgroup").

      created.  That was with commit 9994a338 ("powerpc: Introduce
      entry_{32,64}.S, misc_{32,64}.S, systbl.S").
      
      The offending line does not make a lot of sense.  This error does not
      seem to cause any errors in the executable, thus I am not recommending
      that it be applied to any stable versions.
      
      Thanks to Nicholas Piggin for suggesting this solution.

      avoid spurious "may be used uninitialized" warning · d33d5a6c
      Linus Torvalds authored
      The timer type simplifications caused a new gcc warning:
      
        drivers/base/power/domain.c: In function ‘genpd_runtime_suspend’:
        drivers/base/power/domain.c:562:14: warning: ‘time_start’ may be used uninitialized in this function [-Wmaybe-uninitialized]
           elapsed_ns = ktime_to_ns(ktime_sub(ktime_get(), time_start));
      
      despite the actual use of "time_start" not having changed in any way.
      It appears that simply changing the type of ktime_t from a union to a
      plain scalar type made gcc check the use.
      
      The variable wasn't actually used uninitialized, but gcc apparently
      failed to notice that the conditional around the use was exactly the
      same as the conditional around the initialization of that variable.
      
      Add an unnecessary initialization just to shut up the compiler.
