When building the argv/envp pointers, the envp is needlessly pre-incremented instead of just continuing after the argv pointers are finished. In some (likely impossible) race where the strings could be changed from userspace between copy_strings() and here, it might be possible to confuse the envp position. Instead, just use sp like everything else. Link: http://lkml.kernel.org/r/20170622173838.GA43308@beastSigned-off-by:

Now that explicitly executed loaders are loaded in the mmap region, we have more freedom to decide where we position PIE binaries in the address space to avoid possible collisions with mmap or stack regions. For 64-bit, align to 4GB to allow runtimes to use the entire 32-bit address space for 32-bit pointers. On 32-bit use 4MB, which is the traditional x86 minimum load location, likely to avoid historically requiring a 4MB page table entry when only a portion of the first 4MB would be used (since the NULL address is avoided). For s390 the position could be 0x10000, but that is needlessly close to the NULL address. Link: http://lkml.kernel.org/r/1498154792-49952-5-git-send-email-keescook@chromium.orgSigned-off-by:

The ELF_ET_DYN_BASE position was originally intended to keep loaders away from ET_EXEC binaries. (For example, running "/lib/ld-linux.so.2 /bin/cat" might cause the subsequent load of /bin/cat into where the loader had been loaded.) With the advent of PIE (ET_DYN binaries with an INTERP Program Header), ELF_ET_DYN_BASE continued to be used since the kernel was only looking at ET_DYN. However, since ELF_ET_DYN_BASE is traditionally set at the top 1/3rd of the TASK_SIZE, a substantial portion of the address space is unused. For 32-bit tasks when RLIMIT_STACK is set to RLIM_INFINITY, programs are loaded above the mmap region. This means they can be made to collide (CVE-2017-1000370) or nearly collide (CVE-2017-1000371) with pathological stack regions. Lowering ELF_ET_DYN_BASE solves both by moving programs below the mmap region in all cases, and will now additionally avoid programs falling back to the mmap region by enforcing MAP_FIXED for program loads (i.e. if it would have collided with the stack, now it will fail to load instead of falling back to the mmap region). To allow for a lower ELF_ET_DYN_BASE, loaders (ET_DYN without INTERP) are loaded into the mmap region, leaving space available for either an ET_EXEC binary with a fixed location or PIE being loaded into mmap by the loader. Only PIE programs are loaded offset from ELF_ET_DYN_BASE, which means architectures can now safely lower their values without risk of loaders colliding with their subsequently loaded programs. For 64-bit, ELF_ET_DYN_BASE is best set to 4GB to allow runtimes to use the entire 32-bit address space for 32-bit pointers. Thanks to PaX Team, Daniel Micay, and Rik van Riel for inspiration and suggestions on how to implement this solution.

David Rientjes authored
We've encountered zombies that are waiting for a thread to exit that are looping in ep_poll() almost endlessly although there is a pending SIGKILL as a result of a group exit. This happens because we always find ep_events_available() and fetch more events and never are able to check for signal_pending() that would break from the loop and return -EINTR. Special case fatal signals and break immediately to guarantee that we loop to fetch more events and delay making a timely exit. It would also be possible to simply move the check for signal_pending() higher than checking for ep_events_available(), but there have been no reports of delayed signal handling other than SIGKILL preventing zombies from exiting that would be fixed by this. It fixes an issue for us where we have witnessed zombies sticking around for at least O(minutes), but considering the code has been like this forever and nobody else has complained that I have found, I would simply queue it up for 4.12.

The boolean --color argument did not offer the ability to force colourized output even if stdout is not a terminal. Change the format of the argument to the familiar --color[=WHEN] construct as seen in common Linux utilities such as git, ls and dmesg, which allows the user to specify whether to colourize output "always", "never", or "auto" when the output is a terminal. The default is "auto". The old command-line uses of --color and --no-color are unchanged.

Commit 7dd96816 ("bitmap: bitmap_equal memcmp optimization") was rather more restrictive than necessary; we can use memcmp() to implement bitmap_equal() as long as the number of bits can be proved to be a multiple of 8. And architectures other than s390 may be able to make good use of this optimisation.

Several callers have constant 'start' and an 'nbits' that is a multiple of 8, so we can turn them into calls to memset. We don't need the entirety of 'start' and 'nbits' to be constant, we just need to know whether they're divisible by 8.

We have eight users calling bitmap_clear for a single bit and seventeen calling bitmap_set for a single bit. Rather than fix all of them to call __clear_bit or __set_bit, turn bitmap_clear and bitmap_set into inline functions and make this special case efficient.

Patch series "Bitmap optimisations", v2. These three bitmap patches use more efficient specialisations when the compiler can figure out that it's safe to do so. Thanks to Rasmus's eagle eyes, a nasty bug in v1 was avoided, and I've added a test case which would have caught it. This patch (of 4): This version of the test is actually a no-op; the next patch will enable it. Link: http://lkml.kernel.org/r/20170628153221.11322-2-willy@infradead.orgSigned-off-by:

'all_var' looks like a variable, but is actually a macro. Use IS_ENABLED(CONFIG_KALLSYMS_ALL) for clarification. Link: http://lkml.kernel.org/r/1497577591-3434-1-git-send-email-yamada.masahiro@socionext.comSigned-off-by:

setgroups is not exactly a hot path, so we might as well use the library function instead of open-coding the sorting. Saves ~150 bytes. Link: http://lkml.kernel.org/r/1497301378-22739-1-git-send-email-linux@rasmusvillemoes.dkSigned-off-by:

attribute_groups are not supposed to change at runtime. All functions working with attribute_groups provided by <linux/sysfs.h> work with const attribute_group. So mark the non-const structs as const. File size before: text data bss dec hex filename 1120 544 16 1680 690 kernel/ksysfs.o File size After adding 'const': text data bss dec hex filename 1160 480 16 1656 678 kernel/ksysfs.o Link: http://lkml.kernel.org/r/aa224b3cc923fdbb3edd0c41b2c639c85408c9e8.1498737347.git.arvind.yadav.cs@gmail.comSigned-off-by:

The global variable 'rd_size' is declared as 'int' in source file arch/arm/kernel/atags_parse.c and as 'unsigned long' in drivers/block/brd.c. Fix this inconsistency. Additionally, remove the declarations of rd_image_start, rd_prompt and rd_doload from parse_tag_ramdisk() since these duplicate existing declarations in <linux/initrd.h>.

Including <linux/bug.h> pulls in a lot of bloat from <asm/bug.h> and <asm-generic/bug.h> that is not needed to call the BUILD_BUG() family of macros. Split them out into their own header, <linux/build_bug.h>. Also correct some checkpatch.pl errors for the BUILD_BUG_ON_ZERO() and BUILD_BUG_ON_NULL() macros by adding parentheses around the bitfield widths that begin with a minus sign.

Correct these checkpatch.pl errors: |ERROR: space required before that '-' (ctx:OxO) |#37: FILE: include/linux/bug.h:37: |+#define BUILD_BUG_ON_ZERO(e) (sizeof(struct { int:-!!(e); })) |ERROR: space required before that '-' (ctx:OxO) |#38: FILE: include/linux/bug.h:38: |+#define BUILD_BUG_ON_NULL(e) ((void *)sizeof(struct { int:-!!(e); })) I decided to wrap the bitfield expressions that begin with minus signs in parentheses rather than insert spaces before the minus signs.
