After a recent change introduced by Vlastimil's series [0], kernel is able now to handle sysctl parameters on kernel command line; also, the series introduced a simple infrastructure to convert legacy boot parameters (that duplicate sysctls) into sysctl aliases. This patch converts the watchdog parameters softlockup_panic and {hard,soft}lockup_all_cpu_backtrace to use the new alias infrastructure. It fixes the documentation too, since the alias only accepts values 0 or 1, not the full range of integers. We also took the opportunity here to improve the documentation of the previously converted hung_task_panic (see the patch series [0]) and put the alias table in alphabetical order.

Testing is done by a new parameter debug.test_sysctl.boot_int which defaults to 0 and it's expected that the tester passes a boot parameter that sets it to 1. The test checks if it's set to 1. To distinguish true failure from parameter not being set, the test checks /proc/cmdline for the expected parameter, and whether test_sysctl is built-in and not a module.

The testing script recommends CONFIG_TEST_SYSCTL=y, but actually only works with CONFIG_TEST_SYSCTL=m. Testing of sysctl setting via boot param however requires the test to be built-in, so make sure the test script supports it.

We can now handle sysctl parameters on kernel command line and have infrastructure to convert legacy command line options that duplicate sysctl to become a sysctl alias. This patch converts the hung_task_panic parameter. Note that the sysctl handler is more strict and allows only 0 and 1, while the legacy parameter allowed any non-zero value. But there is little reason anyone would not be using 1.

We can now handle sysctl parameters on kernel command line, but historically some parameters introduced their own command line equivalent, which we don't want to remove for compatibility reasons. We can, however, convert them to the generic infrastructure with a table translating the legacy command line parameters to their sysctl names, and removing the one-off param handlers. This patch adds the support and makes the first conversion to demonstrate it, on the (deprecated) numa_zonelist_order parameter.

Patch series "support setting sysctl parameters from kernel command line", v3. This series adds support for something that seems like many people always wanted but nobody added it yet, so here's the ability to set sysctl parameters via kernel command line options in the form of sysctl.vm.something=1 The important part is Patch 1. The second, not so important part is an attempt to clean up legacy one-off parameters that do the same thing as a sysctl. I don't want to remove them completely for compatibility reasons, but with generic sysctl support the idea is to remove the one-off param handlers and treat the parameters as aliases for the sysctl variants. I have identified several parameters that mention sysctl counterparts in Documentation/admin-guide/kernel-parameters.txt but there might be more. The conversion also has varying level of success: - numa_zonelist_order is converted in Patch 2 together with adding the necessary infrastructure. It's easy as it doesn't really do anything but warn on deprecated value these days. - hung_task_panic is converted in Patch 3, but there's a downside that now it only accepts 0 and 1, while previously it was any integer value - nmi_watchdog maps to two sysctls nmi_watchdog and hardlockup_panic, so there's no straighforward conversion possible - traceoff_on_warning is a flag without value and it would be required to handle that somehow in the conversion infractructure, which seems pointless for a single flag This patch (of 5): A recently proposed patch to add vm_swappiness command line parameter in addition to existing sysctl [1] made me wonder why we don't have a general support for passing sysctl parameters via command line. Googling found only somebody else wondering the same [2], but I haven't found any prior discussion with reasons why not to do this. Settings the vm_swappiness issue aside (the underlying issue might be solved in a different way), quick search of kernel-parameters.txt shows there are already some that exist as both sysctl and kernel parameter - hung_task_panic, nmi_watchdog, numa_zonelist_order, traceoff_on_warning. A general mechanism would remove the need to add more of those one-offs and might be handy in situations where configuration by e.g. /etc/sysctl.d/ is impractical. Hence, this patch adds a new parse_args() pass that looks for parameters prefixed by 'sysctl.' and tries to interpret them as writes to the corresponding sys/ files using an temporary in-kernel procfs mount. This mechanism was suggested by Eric W. Biederman [3], as it handles all dynamically registered sysctl tables, even though we don't handle modular sysctls. Errors due to e.g. invalid parameter name or value are reported in the kernel log. The processing is hooked right before the init process is loaded, as some handlers might be more complicated than simple setters and might need some subsystems to be initialized. At the moment the init process can be started and eventually execute a process writing to /proc/sys/ then it should be also fine to do that from the kernel. Sysctls registered later on module load time are not set by this mechanism - it's expected that in such scenarios, setting sysctl values from userspace is practical enough.

Rafael Aquini authored
Analogously to the introduction of panic_on_warn, this patch introduces a kernel option named panic_on_taint in order to provide a simple and generic way to stop execution and catch a coredump when the kernel gets tainted by any given flag. This is useful for debugging sessions as it avoids having to rebuild the kernel to explicitly add calls to panic() into the code sites that introduce the taint flags of interest. For instance, if one is interested in proceeding with a post-mortem analysis at the point a given code path is hitting a bad page (i.e. unaccount_page_cache_page(), or slab_bug()), a coredump can be collected by rebooting the kernel with 'panic_on_taint=0x20' amended to the command line. Another, perhaps less frequent, use for this option would be as a means for assuring a security policy case where only a subset of taints, or no single taint (in paranoid mode), is allowed for the running system. The optional switch 'nousertaint' is handy in this particular scenario, as it will avoid userspace induced crashes by writes to sysctl interface /proc/sys/kernel/tainted causing false positive hits for such policies.

Instead of enabling dynamic debug globally with CONFIG_DYNAMIC_DEBUG, CONFIG_DYNAMIC_DEBUG_CORE will only enable core function of dynamic debug. With the DYNAMIC_DEBUG_MODULE defined for any modules, dynamic debug will be tied to them. This is useful for people who only want to enable dynamic debug for kernel modules without worrying about kernel image size and memory consumption is increasing too much.

Pull integrity updates from Mimi Zohar: "The main changes are extending the TPM 2.0 PCR banks with bank specific file hashes, calculating the "boot_aggregate" based on other TPM PCR banks, using the default IMA hash algorithm, instead of SHA1, as the basis for the cache hash table key, and preventing the mprotect syscall to circumvent an IMA mmap appraise policy rule. - In preparation for extending TPM 2.0 PCR banks with bank specific digests, commit 0b6cf6b9 ("tpm: pass an array of tpm_extend_digest structures to tpm_pcr_extend()") modified tpm_pcr_extend(). The original SHA1 file digests were padded/truncated, before being extended into the other TPM PCR banks. This pull request calculates and extends the TPM PCR banks with bank specific file hashes completing the above change. - The "boot_aggregate", the first IMA measurement list record, is the "trusted boot" link between the pre-boot environment and the running OS. With TPM 2.0, the "boot_aggregate" record is not limited to being based on the SHA1 TPM PCR bank, but can be calculated based on any enabled bank, assuming the hash algorithm is also enabled in the kernel. Other changes include the following and five other bug fixes/code clean up: - supporting both a SHA1 and a larger "boot_aggregate" digest in a custom template format containing both the the SHA1 ('d') and larger digests ('d-ng') fields. - Initial hash table key fix, but additional changes would be good" * tag 'integrity-v5.8' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/zohar/linux-integrity: ima: Directly free *entry in ima_alloc_init_template() if digests is NULL ima: Call ima_calc_boot_aggregate() in ima_eventdigest_init() ima: Directly assign the ima_default_policy pointer to ima_rules ima: verify mprotect change is consistent with mmap policy evm: Fix possible memory leak in evm_calc_hmac_or_hash() ima: Set again build_ima_appraise variable ima: Remove redundant policy rule set in add_rules() ima: Fix ima digest hash table key calculation ima: Use ima_hash_algo for collision detection in the measurement list ima: Calculate and extend PCR with digests in ima_template_entry ima: Allocate and initialize tfm for each PCR bank ima: Switch to dynamically allocated buffer for template digests ima: Store template digest directly in ima_template_entry ima: Evaluate error in init_ima() ima: Switch to ima_hash_algo for boot aggregate

Allow user to use alternative implementations of compression tools, such as pigz, pbzip2, pxz. For example, multi-threaded tools to speed up the build: $ make GZIP=pigz BZIP2=pbzip2 Variables _GZIP, _BZIP2, _LZOP are used internally because original env vars are reserved by the tools. The use of GZIP in gzip tool is obsolete since 2015. However, alternative implementations (e.g., pigz) still rely on it. BZIP2, BZIP, LZOP vars are not obsolescent. The credit goes to @grsecurity. As a sidenote, for multi-threaded lzma, xz compression one can use: $ export XZ_OPT="--threads=0" Signed-off-by: Denis Efremov <efremov@linux.com> Signed-off-by: Masahiro Yamada <masahiroy@kernel.org>

Many applications check for available kernel features via: - /proc/modules (loaded modules, present if CONFIG_MODULES=y) - $(MODLIB)/modules.builtin (builtin modules) They fail to detect features if the kernel was built with CONFIG_MODULES=n and modules.builtin isn't installed. Therefore, add the target "_builtin_inst_" and make "install" and "modules_install" depend on it. Tests results: - make install: kernel image is copied as before, modules.builtin copied - make modules_install: (CONFIG_MODULES=n) nothing is copied, exit 1 Signed-off-by: Jonas Zeiger <jonas.zeiger@talpidae.net> Signed-off-by: Masahiro Yamada <masahiroy@kernel.org>

When System.map was generated, the kernel used mksysmap to filter the kernel symbols, but all the symbols with the second letter 'L' in the kernel were filtered out, not just the symbols starting with 'dot + L'. For example: ashimida@ubuntu:~/linux$ cat System.map |grep ' .L' ashimida@ubuntu:~/linux$ nm -n vmlinux |grep ' .L' ffff0000088028e0 t bLength_show ...... ffff0000092e0408 b PLLP_OUTC_lock ffff0000092e0410 b PLLP_OUTA_lock The original intent should be to filter out all local symbols starting with '.L', so the dot should be escaped.

Now that is_vmlinux() is called only in new_module(), we can inline the function call. modname is the basename with '.o' is stripped.

new_module() conditionally strips the .o because the modname has .o suffix when it is called from read_symbols(), but no .o when it is called from read_dump().

The meaning of 'skip' is obscure since it does not explain "what to skip". mod->skip is set when it is vmlinux or the module info came from a dump file. So, mod->skip is equivalent to (mod->is_vmlinux || mod->from_dump). For the check in write_namespace_deps_files(), mod->is_vmlinux is unneeded because the -d option is not passed in the first pass of modpost. Signed-off-by: Masahiro Yamada <masahiroy@kernel.org>

check_exports() is never called for vmlinux because mod->skip is set for vmlinux.

Previously, there were two cases where mod->is_dot_o is unset: [1] the executable 'vmlinux' in the second pass of modpost [2] modules loaded by read_dump() I think [1] was intended usage to distinguish 'vmlinux.o' and 'vmlinux'. Now that modpost does not parse the executable 'vmlinux', this case does not happen. [2] is obscure, maybe a bug. Module.symver stores module paths without extension. So, none of modules loaded by read_dump() has the .o suffix, and new_module() unsets ->is_dot_o. Anyway, it is not a big deal because handle_symbol() is not called for the case. To sum up, all the parsed ELF files are .o files. mod->is_dot_o is unneeded. Signed-off-by: Masahiro Yamada <masahiroy@kernel.org>
