For passing arbitrary data from user land to the Xen hypervisor the Xen tools today are using mlock()ed buffers. Unfortunately the kernel might change access rights of such buffers for brief periods of time e.g. for page migration or compaction, leading to access faults in the hypervisor, as the hypervisor can't use the locks of the kernel. In order to solve this problem add a new device node to the Xen privcmd driver to easily allocate hypercall buffers via mmap(). The memory is allocated in the kernel and just mapped into user space. Marked as VM_IO the user mapping will not be subject to page migration et al.

My recent Xen patch series introduces a new HYPERVISOR_memory_op to support direct priv-mapping of certain guest resources (such as ioreq pages, used by emulators) by a tools domain, rather than having to access such resources via the guest P2M. This patch adds the necessary infrastructure to the privcmd driver and Xen MMU code to support direct resource mapping. NOTE: The adjustment in the MMU code is partially cosmetic. Xen will now allow a PV tools domain to map guest pages either by GFN or MFN, thus the term 'mfn' has been swapped for 'pfn' in the lower layers of the remap code.

This reverts commit 7347fc87. Srikar Dronamra pointed out that while the commit in question did show a performance improvement on ppc64, it did so at the cost of disabling active CPU migration by automatic NUMA balancing which was not the intent. The issue was that a serious flaw in the logic failed to ever active balance if SD_WAKE_AFFINE was disabled on scheduler domains. Even when it's enabled, the logic is still bizarre and against the original intent. Investigation showed that fixing the patch in either the way he suggested, using the correct comparison for jiffies values or introducing a new numa_migrate_deferred variable in task_struct all perform similarly to a revert with a mix of gains and losses depending on the workload, machine and socket count. The original intent of the commit was to handle a problem whereby wake_affine, idle balancing and automatic NUMA balancing disagree on the appropriate placement for a task. This was particularly true for cases where a single task was a massive waker of tasks but where wake_wide logic did not apply. This was particularly noticeable when a futex (a barrier) woke all worker threads and tried pulling the wakees to the waker nodes. In that specific case, it could be handled by tuning MPI or openMP appropriately, but the behavior is not illogical and was worth attempting to fix. However, the approach was wrong. Given that we're at rc4 and a fix is not obvious, it's better to play safe, revert this commit and retry later.

While reflinking an inode, we create a new inode in orphan directory, then take EX lock on it, reflink the original inode to orphan inode and release EX lock. Once the lock is released another node could request it in EX mode from ocfs2_recover_orphans() which causes downconvert of the lock, on this node, to NL mode. Later we attempt to initialize security acl for the orphan inode and move it to the reflink destination. However, while doing this we dont take EX lock on the inode. This could potentially cause problems because we could be starting transaction, accessing journal and modifying metadata of the inode while holding NL lock and with another node holding EX lock on the inode. Fix this by taking orphan inode cluster lock in EX mode before initializing security and moving orphan inode to reflink destination. Use the __tracker variant while taking inode lock to avoid recursive locking in the ocfs2_init_security_and_acl() call chain.

Since exit_mmap() is done without the protection of mm->mmap_sem, it is possible for the oom reaper to concurrently operate on an mm until MMF_OOM_SKIP is set. This allows munlock_vma_pages_all() to concurrently run while the oom reaper is operating on a vma. Since munlock_vma_pages_range() depends on clearing VM_LOCKED from vm_flags before actually doing the munlock to determine if any other vmas are locking the same memory, the check for VM_LOCKED in the oom reaper is racy. This is especially noticeable on architectures such as powerpc where clearing a huge pmd requires serialize_against_pte_lookup(). If the pmd is zapped by the oom reaper during follow_page_mask() after the check for pmd_none() is bypassed, this ends up deferencing a NULL ptl or a kernel oops. Fix this by manually freeing all possible memory from the mm before doing the munlock and then setting MMF_OOM_SKIP. The oom reaper can not run on the mm anymore so the munlock is safe to do in exit_mmap(). It also matches the logic that the oom reaper currently uses for determining when to set MMF_OOM_SKIP itself, so there's no new risk of excessive oom killing. This issue fixes CVE-2018-1000200.

load_module() creates W+X mappings via __vmalloc_node_range() (from layout_and_allocate()->move_module()->module_alloc()) by using PAGE_KERNEL_EXEC. These mappings are later cleaned up via "call_rcu_sched(&freeinit->rcu, do_free_init)" from do_init_module(). This is a problem because call_rcu_sched() queues work, which can be run after debug_checkwx() is run, resulting in a race condition. If hit, the race results in a nasty splat about insecure W+X mappings, which results in a poor user experience as these are not the mappings that debug_checkwx() is intended to catch. This issue is observed on multiple arm64 platforms, and has been artificially triggered on an x86 platform. Address the race by flushing the queued work before running the arch-defined mark_rodata_ro() which then calls debug_checkwx().

Pull networking fixes from David Miller: 1) Verify lengths of keys provided by the user is AF_KEY, from Kevin Easton. 2) Add device ID for BCM89610 PHY. Thanks to Bhadram Varka. 3) Add Spectre guards to some ATM code, courtesy of Gustavo A. R. Silva. 4) Fix infinite loop in NSH protocol code. To Eric Dumazet we are most grateful for this fix. 5) Line up /proc/net/netlink headers properly. This fix from YU Bo, we do appreciate. 6) Use after free in TLS code. Once again we are blessed by the honorable Eric Dumazet with this fix. 7) Fix regression in TLS code causing stalls on partial TLS records. This fix is bestowed upon us by Andrew Tomt. 8) Deal with too small MTUs properly in LLC code, another great gift from Eric Dumazet. 9) Handle cached route flushing properly wrt. MTU locking in ipv4, to Hangbin Liu we give thanks for this. 10) Fix regression in SO_BINDTODEVIC handling wrt. UDP socket demux. Paolo Abeni, he gave us this. 11) Range check coalescing parameters in mlx4 driver, thank you Moshe Shemesh. 12) Some ipv6 ICMP error handling fixes in rxrpc, from our good brother David Howells. 13) Fix kexec on mlx5 by freeing IRQs in shutdown path. Daniel Juergens, you're the best! 14) Don't send bonding RLB updates to invalid MAC addresses. Debabrata Benerjee saved us! 15) Uh oh, we were leaking in udp_sendmsg and ping_v4_sendmsg. The ship is now water tight, thanks to Andrey Ignatov. 16) IPSEC memory leak in ixgbe from Colin Ian King, man we've got holes everywhere! 17) Fix error path in tcf_proto_create, Jiri Pirko what would we do without you! * git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/davem/net: (92 commits) net sched actions: fix refcnt leak in skbmod net: sched: fix error path in tcf_proto_create() when modules are not configured net sched actions: fix invalid pointer dereferencing if skbedit flags missing ixgbe: fix memory leak on ipsec allocation ixgbevf: fix ixgbevf_xmit_frame()'s return type ixgbe: return error on unsupported SFP module when resetting ice: Set rq_last_status when cleaning rq ipv4: fix memory leaks in udp_sendmsg, ping_v4_sendmsg mlxsw: core: Fix an error handling path in 'mlxsw_core_bus_device_register()' bonding: send learning packets for vlans on slave bonding: do not allow rlb updates to invalid mac net/mlx5e: Err if asked to offload TC match on frag being first net/mlx5: E-Switch, Include VF RDMA stats in vport statistics net/mlx5: Free IRQs in shutdown path rxrpc: Trace UDP transmission failure rxrpc: Add a tracepoint to log ICMP/ICMP6 and error messages rxrpc: Fix the min security level for kernel calls rxrpc: Fix error reception on AF_INET6 sockets rxrpc: Fix missing start of call timeout qed: fix spelling mistake: "taskelt" -> "tasklet" ...

When application fails to pass flags in netlink TLV when replacing existing skbmod action, the kernel will leak refcnt: $ tc actions get action skbmod index 1 total acts 0 action order 0: skbmod pipe set smac 00:11:22:33:44:55 index 1 ref 1 bind 0 For example, at this point a buggy application replaces the action with index 1 with new smac 00:aa:22:33:44:55, it fails because of zero flags, however refcnt gets bumped: $ tc actions get actions skbmod index 1 total acts 0 action order 0: skbmod pipe set smac 00:11:22:33:44:55 index 1 ref 2 bind 0 $ Tha patch fixes this by calling tcf_idr_release() on existing actions.
