The current lz4 compress buffer is 16kb on 32-bits, 32kb on 64-bits system. But, lz4 needs only 16kb on both. On 64-bits, this causes wasted cpu cycles for additional memset during every compression. In case of lz4hc, the current buffer size is (256kb + 8) on 32-bits, (512kb + 16) on 64-bits. But, lz4hc needs only (256kb + 2 * pointer) on both. This patch fixes these wrong compress buffer sizes for 64-bits. Signed-off-by:

An unprivileged user can trigger an oops on a kernel with CONFIG_CHECKPOINT_RESTORE. proc_pid_cmdline_read takes mmap_sem for reading and obtains args + env start/end values. These get sanity checked as follows: BUG_ON(arg_start > arg_end); BUG_ON(env_start > env_end); These can be changed by prctl_set_mm. Turns out also takes the semaphore for reading, effectively rendering it useless. This results in: kernel BUG at fs/proc/base.c:240! invalid opcode: 0000 [#1] SMP Modules linked in: virtio_net CPU: 0 PID: 925 Comm: a.out Not tainted 4.4.0-rc8-next-20160105dupa+ #71 Hardware name: Bochs Bochs, BIOS Bochs 01/01/2011 task: ffff880077a68000 ti: ffff8800784d0000 task.ti: ffff8800784d0000 RIP: proc_pid_cmdline_read+0x520/0x530 RSP: 0018:ffff8800784d3db8 EFLAGS: 00010206 RAX: ffff880077c5b6b0 RBX: ffff8800784d3f18 RCX: 0000000000000000 RDX: 0000000000000002 RSI: 00007f78e8857000 RDI: 0000000000000246 RBP: ffff8800784d3e40 R08: 0000000000000008 R09: 0000000000000001 R10: 0000000000000000 R11: 0000000000000001 R12: 0000000000000050 R13: 00007f78e8857800 R14: ffff88006fcef000 R15: ffff880077c5b600 FS: 00007f78e884a740(0000) GS:ffff88007b200000(0000) knlGS:0000000000000000 CS: 0010 DS: 0000 ES: 0000 CR0: 000000008005003b CR2: 00007f78e8361770 CR3: 00000000790a5000 CR4: 00000000000006f0 Call Trace: __vfs_read+0x37/0x100 vfs_read+0x82/0x130 SyS_read+0x58/0xd0 entry_SYSCALL_64_fastpath+0x12/0x76 Code: 4c 8b 7d a8 eb e9 48 8b 9d 78 ff ff ff 4c 8b 7d 90 48 8b 03 48 39 45 a8 0f 87 f0 fe ff ff e9 d1 fe ff ff 4c 8b 7d 90 eb c6 0f 0b <0f> 0b 0f 0b 66 66 66 2e 0f 1f 84 00 00 00 00 00 0f 1f 44 00 00 RIP proc_pid_cmdline_read+0x520/0x530 ---[ end trace 97882617ae9c6818 ]--- Turns out there are instances where the code just reads aformentioned values without locking whatsoever - namely environ_read and get_cmdline. Interestingly these functions look quite resilient against bogus values, but I don't believe this should be relied upon. The first patch gets rid of the oops bug by grabbing mmap_sem for writing. The second patch is optional and puts locking around aformentioned consumers for safety. Consumers of other fields don't seem to benefit from similar treatment and are left untouched. This patch (of 2): The code was taking the semaphore for reading, which does not protect against readers nor concurrent modifications. The problem could cause a sanity checks to fail in procfs's cmdline reader, resulting in an OOPS. Note that some functions perform an unlocked read of various mm fields, but they seem to be fine despite possible modificaton. Signed-off-by: -

UBSAN uses compile-time instrumentation to catch undefined behavior (UB). Compiler inserts code that perform certain kinds of checks before operations that could cause UB. If check fails (i.e. UB detected) __ubsan_handle_* function called to print error message. So the most of the work is done by compiler. This patch just implements ubsan handlers printing errors. GCC has this capability since 4.9.x [1] (see -fsanitize=undefined option and its suboptions). However GCC 5.x has more checkers implemented [2]. Article [3] has a bit more details about UBSAN in the GCC.

With upcoming CONFIG_UBSAN the following BUILD_BUG_ON in net/mac80211/debugfs.c starts to trigger: BUILD_BUG_ON(hw_flag_names[NUM_IEEE80211_HW_FLAGS] != (void *)0x1); It seems, that compiler instrumentation causes some code deoptimizations. Because of that GCC is not being able to resolve condition in BUILD_BUG_ON() at compile time. We could make size of hw_flag_names array unspecified and replace the condition in BUILD_BUG_ON() with following: ARRAY_SIZE(hw_flag_names) != NUM_IEEE80211_HW_FLAGS That will have the same effect as before (adding new flag without updating array will trigger build failure) except it doesn't fail with CONFIG_UBSAN. As a bonus this patch slightly decreases size of hw_flag_names array. Signed-off-by:

SYSCTL_WRITES_WARN was added in commit f4aacea2 ("sysctl: allow for strict write position handling"), and released in v3.16 in August of 2014. Since then I can find only 1 instance of non-zero offset writing[1], and it was fixed immediately in CRIU[2]. As such, it appears safe to flip this to the strict state now.

With commit d72da4a4 ("rbtree: Make lockless searches non-fatal") our rbtrees provide weak guarantees that allows us to do lockless (and very speculative) reads of the tree. Such readers cannot see partial stores on nodes, ie left/right as well as root. As such, similar to the WRITE_ONCE semantics when doing rotations, use READ_ONCE when checking the root node in RB_EMPTY_ROOT. Signed-off-by:

The only user of the lvalue-ness of the cpu_*_mask variables is in drivers/base/cpu.c, and that is mostly a work-around for the fact that not even const variables can be used in static initialization. Now that the underlying struct cpumasks are exposed we can take their address. Signed-off-by:

Change cpu_possible_bits and friends (online, present, active) from being bitmaps that happen to have the right size to actually being struct cpumasks. Also rename them to __cpu_xyz_mask. This is mostly a small cleanup in preparation for exporting them and, eventually, eliminating the extra indirection through the cpu_xyz_mask variables. Signed-off-by:

Rasmus Villemoes authored
The four cpumasks cpu_{possible,online,present,active}_bits are exposed readonly via the corresponding const variables cpu_xyz_mask. But they are also accessible for arbitrary writing via the exposed functions set_cpu_xyz. There's quite a bit of code throughout the kernel which iterates over or otherwise accesses these bitmaps, and having the access go via the cpu_xyz_mask variables is nowadays [1] simply a useless indirection. It may be that any problem in CS can be solved by an extra level of indirection, but that doesn't mean every extra indirection solves a problem. In this case, it even necessitates some minor ugliness (see 4/6). Patch 1/6 is new in v2, and fixes a build failure on ppc by renaming a struct member, to avoid problems when the identifier cpu_online_mask becomes a macro later in the series. The next four patches eliminate the cpu_xyz_mask variables by simply exposing the actual bitmaps, after renaming them to discourage direct access - that still happens through cpu_xyz_mask, which are now simply macros with the same type and value as they used to have. After that, there's no longer any reason to have the setter functions be out-of-line: The boolean parameter is almost always a literal true or false, so by making them static inlines they will usually compile to one or two instructions. For a defconfig build on x86_64, bloat-o-meter says we save ~3000 bytes. We also save a little stack (stackdelta says 127 functions have a 16 byte smaller stack frame, while two grow by that amount). Mostly because, when iterating over the mask, gcc typically loads the value of cpu_xyz_mask into a callee-saved register and from there into %rdi before each find_next_bit call - now it can just load the appropriate immediate address into %rdi before each call. [1] See Rusty's kind explanation http://thread.gmane.org/gmane.linux.kernel/2047078/focus=2047722 for some historic context. This patch (of 6): As preparation for eliminating the indirect access to the various global cpu_*_bits bitmaps via the pointer variables cpu_*_mask, rename the cpu_online_mask member of struct fadump_crash_info_header to simply online_mask, thus allowing cpu_online_mask to become a macro.

Let %h and %e print empty values as "!", "." as "!" and ".." as "!.". This prevents hostnames and comm values that are empty or consist of one or two dots from changing the directory level at which the corefile will be stored. Consider the case where someone decides to sort coredumps by hostname with a core pattern like "/cores/%h/core.%e.%p.%t" or so. In this case, hostnames "" and "." would cause the coredump to land directly in /cores, which is not what the intent behind the core pattern is, and ".." would cause the coredump to land in /. Yeah, there probably aren't many people who do that, but I still don't want this edgecase to be kind of broken. It seems very unlikely that this caused security issues anywhere, so I'm not requesting a stable backport. [akpm@linux-foundation.org: tweak code comment] Signed-off-by:

By checking the effective credentials instead of the real UID / permitted capabilities, ensure that the calling process actually intended to use its credentials. To ensure that all ptrace checks use the correct caller credentials (e.g. in case out-of-tree code or newly added code omits the PTRACE_MODE_*CREDS flag), use two new flags and require one of them to be set. The problem was that when a privileged task had temporarily dropped its privileges, e.g. by calling setreuid(0, user_uid), with the intent to perform following syscalls with the credentials of a user, it still passed ptrace access checks that the user would not be able to pass. While an attacker should not be able to convince the privileged task to perform a ptrace() syscall, this is a problem because the ptrace access check is reused for things in procfs. In particular, the following somewhat interesting procfs entries only rely on ptrace access checks: /proc/$pid/stat - uses the check for determining whether pointers should be visible, useful for bypassing ASLR /proc/$pid/maps - also useful for bypassing ASLR /proc/$pid/cwd - useful for gaining access to restricted directories that contain files with lax permissions, e.g. in this scenario: lrwxrwxrwx root root /proc/13020/cwd -> /root/foobar drwx------ root root /root drwxr-xr-x root root /root/foobar -rw-r--r-- root root /root/foobar/secret Therefore, on a system where a root-owned mode 6755 binary changes its effective credentials as described and then dumps a user-specified file, this could be used by an attacker to reveal the memory layout of root's processes or reveal the contents of files he is not allowed to access (through /proc/$pid/cwd).

ptrace_attach() can hang waiting for STOPPED -> TRACED transition if the tracee gets frozen in between, change wait_on_bit() to use TASK_KILLABLE.

And otoh perhaps we can just remove JOBCTL_TRAPPING_BIT altogether, it is not clear if we really need to hide this transition from debugger, WNOHANG after PTRACE_ATTACH can fail anyway if it races with SIGCONT.

Implement preallocation via the fallocate syscall on VFAT partitions. This patch is based on an earlier patch of the same name which had some issues detailed below and did not get accepted. Refer https://lkml.org/lkml/2007/12/22/130. a) The preallocated space was not persistent when the FALLOC_FL_KEEP_SIZE flag was set. It will deallocate cluster at evict time. b) There was no need to zero out the clusters when the flag was set Instead of doing an expanding truncate, just allocate clusters and add them to the fat chain. This reduces preallocation time. Compatibility with windows: There are no issues when FALLOC_FL_KEEP_SIZE is not set because it just does an expanding truncate. Thus reading from the preallocated area on windows returns null until data is written to it. When a file with preallocated area using the FALLOC_FL_KEEP_SIZE was written to on windows, the windows driver freed-up the preallocated clusters and allocated new clusters for the new data. The freed up clusters gets reflected in the free space available for the partition which can be seen from the Volume properties. The windows chkdsk tool also does not report any errors on a disk containing files with preallocated space. And there is also no issue using linux fat fsck. because discard preallocated clusters at repair time. Signed-off-by:

Currently, epoll file descriptors or epfds (the fd returned from epoll_create[1]()) that are added to a shared wakeup source are always added in a non-exclusive manner. This means that when we have multiple epfds attached to a shared fd source they are all woken up. This creates thundering herd type behavior. Introduce a new 'EPOLLEXCLUSIVE' flag that can be passed as part of the 'event' argument during an epoll_ctl() EPOLL_CTL_ADD operation. This new flag allows for exclusive wakeups when there are multiple epfds attached to a shared fd event source. The implementation walks the list of exclusive waiters, and queues an event to each epfd, until it finds the first waiter that has threads blocked on it via epoll_wait(). The idea is to search for threads which are idle and ready to process the wakeup events. Thus, we queue an event to at least 1 epfd, but may still potentially queue an event to all epfds that are attached to the shared fd source. Performance testing was done by Madars Vitolins using a modified version of Enduro/X. The use of the 'EPOLLEXCLUSIVE' flag reduce the length of this particular workload from 860s down to 24s. Sample epoll_clt text: EPOLLEXCLUSIVE Sets an exclusive wakeup mode for the epfd file descriptor that is being attached to the target file descriptor, fd. Thus, when an event occurs and multiple epfd file descriptors are attached to the same target file using EPOLLEXCLUSIVE, one or more epfds will receive an event with epoll_wait(2). The default in this scenario (when EPOLLEXCLUSIVE is not set) is for all epfds to receive an event. EPOLLEXCLUSIVE may only be specified with the op EPOLL_CTL_ADD. Signed-off-by:
