https://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/viro/vfs into aio-base

For anything NFS-exported we do _not_ want to unlock new inode
before it has grown an alias; original set of fixes got the
ordering right, but missed the nasty complication in case of
lockdep being enabled - unlock_new_inode() does
lockdep_annotate_inode_mutex_key(inode)
which can only be done before anyone gets a chance to touch
->i_mutex. Unfortunately, flipping the order and doing
unlock_new_inode() before d_instantiate() opens a window when
mkdir can race with open-by-fhandle on a guessed fhandle, leading
to multiple aliases for a directory inode and all the breakage
that follows from that.
Correct solution: a new primitive (d_instantiate_new())
combining these two in the right order - lockdep annotate, then
d_instantiate(), then the rest of unlock_new_inode(). All
combinations of d_instantiate() with unlock_new_inode() should
be converted to that.

This is the io_getevents equivalent of ppoll/pselect and allows to
properly mix signals and aio completions (especially with IOCB_CMD_POLL)
and atomically executes the following sequence:
sigset_t origmask;
pthread_sigmask(SIG_SETMASK, &sigmask, &origmask);
ret = io_getevents(ctx, min_nr, nr, events, timeout);
pthread_sigmask(SIG_SETMASK, &origmask, NULL);
Note that unlike many other signal related calls we do not pass a sigmask
size, as that would get us to 7 arguments, which aren't easily supported
by the syscall infrastructure. It seems a lot less painful to just add a
new syscall variant in the unlikely case we're going to increase the
sigset size.

Pull timer fixes from Thomas Gleixner:
"Two fixes from the timer departement:
- Fix a long standing issue in the NOHZ tick code which causes RB
tree corruption, delayed timers and other malfunctions. The cause
for this is code which modifies the expiry time of an enqueued
hrtimer.
- Revert the CLOCK_MONOTONIC/CLOCK_BOOTTIME unification due to
regression reports. Seems userspace _is_ relying on the documented

The comment claims that this helper will try not to loose bits, but for
64bit long it looses the high bits before hashing 64bit long into 32bit
int. Use the helper hash_long() to do the right thing for 64bit long.
For 32bit long, there is no change.
All the callers of end_name_hash() either assign the result to
qstr->hash, which is u32 or return the result as an int value (e.g.
full_name_hash()). Change the helper return type to int to conform to
its users.
[ It took me a while to apply this, because my initial reaction to it
was - incorrectly - that it could make for slower code.
After having looked more at it, I take back all my complaints about
the patch, Amir was right and I was mis-reading things or just being
stupid.
I also don't worry too much about the possible performance impact of
this on 64-bit, since most architectures that actually care about
performance end up not using this very much (the dcache code is the
most performance-critical, but the word-at-a-time case uses its own
hashing anyway).
So this ends up being mostly used for filesystems that do their own
degraded hashing (usually because they want a case-insensitive
comparison function).
A _tiny_ worry remains, in that not everybody uses DCACHE_WORD_ACCESS,
and then this potentially makes things more expensive on 64-bit
architectures with slow or lacking multipliers even for the normal
case.
That said, realistically the only such architecture I can think of is
PA-RISC. Nobody really cares about performance on that, it's more of a
"look ma, I've got warts^W an odd machine" platform.
So the patch is fine, and all my initial worries were just misplaced
from not looking at this properly. - Linus ]

As stated in the pull request for the unification of CLOCK_MONOTONIC and
CLOCK_BOOTTIME, it was clear that we might have to revert the change.
As reported by several folks systemd and other applications rely on the
documented behaviour of CLOCK_MONOTONIC on Linux and break with the above
changes. After resume daemons time out and other timeout related issues are
observed. Rafael compiled this list:
* systemd kills daemons on resume, after >WatchdogSec seconds
of suspending (Genki Sky). [Verified that that's because systemd uses
CLOCK_MONOTONIC and expects it to not include the suspend time.]
* systemd-journald misbehaves after resume:
systemd-journald[7266]: File /var/log/journal/016627c3c4784cd4812d4b7e96a34226/system.journal
corrupted or uncleanly shut down, renaming and replacing.
(Mike Galbraith).
* NetworkManager reports "networking disabled" and networking is broken
after resume 50% of the time (Pavel). [May be because of systemd.]
* MATE desktop dims the display and starts the screensaver right after
system resume (Pavel).
* Full system hang during resume (me). [May be due to systemd or NM or both.]
That happens on debian and open suse systems.
It's sad, that these problems were neither catched in -next nor by those
folks who expressed interest in this change.

sound/core/control.c:1003 snd_ctl_elem_lock() warn: potential spectre issue 'kctl->vd'
sound/core/control.c:1031 snd_ctl_elem_unlock() warn: potential spectre issue 'kctl->vd'
sound/core/control.c:844 snd_ctl_elem_info() warn: potential spectre issue 'kctl->vd'
sound/core/control.c:891 snd_ctl_elem_read() warn: potential spectre issue 'kctl->vd'
sound/core/control.c:939 snd_ctl_elem_write() warn: potential spectre issue 'kctl->vd'
Although all these seem doing only the first load without further
reference, we may want to stay in a safer side, so hardening with
array_index_nospec() would still make sense.
In this patch, we put array_index_nospec() to the common
snd_ctl_get_ioff*() helpers instead of each caller. These helpers are
also referred from some drivers, too, and basically all usages are to
calculate the array index from the user-space value, hence it's better
to cover there.

Jason Wang points out that it's very hard for users to build an array of
stat names. The naive thing is to use VIRTIO_BALLOON_S_NR but that
breaks if we add more stats - as done e.g. recently by commit 6c64fe7f2
("virtio_balloon: export hugetlb page allocation counts").
Let's add an array of reasonably readable names.

syzbot is reporting kernel panic [1] triggered by memory allocation failure
at tty_ldisc_get() from tty_ldisc_init(). But since both tty_ldisc_get()
and caller of tty_ldisc_init() can cleanly handle errors, tty_ldisc_init()
does not need to call panic() when tty_ldisc_get() failed.

Commit 99492c39f39f ("earlycon: Fix __earlycon_table stride") tried to fix
__earlycon_table stride by forcing the earlycon_id struct alignment to 32
and asking the linker to 32-byte align the __earlycon_table symbol. This
fix was based on commit 07fca0e57fca92 ("tracing: Properly align linker
defined symbols") which tried a similar fix for the tracing subsystem.
However, this fix doesn't quite work because there is no guarantee that
gcc will place structures packed into an array format. In fact, gcc 4.9
chooses to 64-byte align these structs by inserting additional padding
between the entries because it has no clue that they are supposed to be in
an array. If we are unlucky, the linker will assign symbol
"__earlycon_table" to a 32-byte aligned address which does not correspond
to the 64-byte aligned contents of section "__earlycon_table".
To address this same problem, the fix to the tracing system was
subsequently re-implemented using a more robust table of pointers approach
by commits:
3d56e331b653 ("tracing: Replace syscall_meta_data struct array with pointer array")
654986462939 ("tracepoints: Fix section alignment using pointer array")
e4a9ea5ee7c8 ("tracing: Replace trace_event struct array with pointer array")
Let's use this same "array of pointers to structs" approach for
EARLYCON_TABLE.

Daniel Borkmann says:
====================
pull-request: bpf 2018-04-21
The following pull-request contains BPF updates for your *net* tree.
The main changes are:
1) Fix a deadlock between mm->mmap_sem and bpf_event_mutex when
one task is detaching a BPF prog via perf_event_detach_bpf_prog()
and another one dumping through bpf_prog_array_copy_info(). For
the latter we move the copy_to_user() out of the bpf_event_mutex
lock to fix it, from Yonghong.
2) Fix test_sock and test_sock_addr.sh failures. The former was
hitting rlimit issues and the latter required ping to specify
the address family, from Yonghong.
3) Remove a dead check in sockmap's sock_map_alloc(), from Jann.
4) Add generated files to BPF kselftests gitignore that were previously
missed, from Anders.

The connection timers of an llc sock could be still flying
after we delete them in llc_sk_free(), and even possibly
after we free the sock. We could just wait synchronously
here in case of troubles.
Note, I leave other call paths as they are, since they may
not have to wait, at least we can change them to synchronously
when needed.
Also, move the code to net/llc/llc_conn.c, which is apparently
a better place.

do not have SBOX.
- Store context switch out type in PERF_RECORD_SWITCH[_CPU_WIDE]. The
percentage of preempting and non-preempting context switches help
understanding the nature of workloads (CPU or IO bound) that are
running on a machine. This adds the kernel facility and userspace
changes needed to show this information in 'perf script' and 'perf
report -D' (Alexey Budankov)
- Remove a WARN_ON() in the trace/kprobes code which is pointless
because the return error code is already telling the caller what's
wrong.
- Revert a fugly workaround for clang BPF targets.
- Fix sample_max_stack maximum check and do not proceed when an error
has been detect, return them to avoid misidentifying errors (Jiri
Olsa)
- Add SPDX idenitifiers and get rid of GPL boilderplate.
Tools:
- Synchronize kernel ABI headers, v4.17-rc1 (Ingo Molnar)
- Support MAP_FIXED_NOREPLACE, noticed when updating the
tools/include/ copies (Arnaldo Carvalho de Melo)
- Add '\n' at the end of parse-options error messages (Ravi Bangoria)
- Add s390 support for detailed/verbose PMU event description (Thomas

* Allow showing offsets in more than just jump targets, use the
new 'O' hotkey in the TUI, config ~/.perfconfig
annotate.offset_level for it and for --stdio2 (Arnaldo Carvalho
de Melo)
* Use the resolved variable names from objdump disassembled lines
to make them more compact, just like was already done for some
instructions, like "mov", this eventually will be done more
generally, but lets now add some more to the existing mechanism
(Arnaldo Carvalho de Melo)
- perf record fixes:
* Change warning for missing topology sysfs entry to debug, as not
all architectures have those files, s390 being one of those
(Thomas Richter)
* Remove old error messages about things that unlikely to be the
root cause in modern systems (Andi Kleen)
- perf sched fixes:
* Fix -g/--call-graph documentation (Takuya Yamamoto)
- perf stat:
* Enable 1ms interval for printing event counters values in
(Alexey Budankov)
- perf test fixes:
* Run dwarf unwind on arm32 (Kim Phillips)
* Remove unused ptrace.h include from LLVM test, sidesteping older
clang's lack of support for some asm constructs (Arnaldo

* Fixup BPF test using epoll_pwait syscall function probe, to cope

cycle (Arnaldo Carvalho de Melo)
- perf version fixes:

lock_page_memcg()/unlock_page_memcg() use spin_lock_irqsave/restore() if
the page's memcg is undergoing move accounting, which occurs when a
process leaves its memcg for a new one that has
memory.move_charge_at_immigrate set.
unlocked_inode_to_wb_begin,end() use spin_lock_irq/spin_unlock_irq() if
the given inode is switching writeback domains. Switches occur when
enough writes are issued from a new domain.
This existing pattern is thus suspicious:
lock_page_memcg(page);
unlocked_inode_to_wb_begin(inode, &locked);
...
unlocked_inode_to_wb_end(inode, locked);
unlock_page_memcg(page);
If both inode switch and process memcg migration are both in-flight then
unlocked_inode_to_wb_end() will unconditionally enable interrupts while
still holding the lock_page_memcg() irq spinlock. This suggests the
possibility of deadlock if an interrupt occurs before unlock_page_memcg().
truncate
__cancel_dirty_page
lock_page_memcg
unlocked_inode_to_wb_begin
unlocked_inode_to_wb_end
<interrupts mistakenly enabled>
<interrupt>
end_page_writeback
test_clear_page_writeback
lock_page_memcg
<deadlock>
unlock_page_memcg
Due to configuration limitations this deadlock is not currently possible
because we don't mix cgroup writeback (a cgroupv2 feature) and
memory.move_charge_at_immigrate (a cgroupv1 feature).
If the kernel is hacked to always claim inode switching and memcg
moving_account, then this script triggers lockup in less than a minute:
cd /mnt/cgroup/memory
mkdir a b
echo 1 > a/memory.move_charge_at_immigrate
echo 1 > b/memory.move_charge_at_immigrate
(
echo $BASHPID > a/cgroup.procs
while true; do
dd if=/dev/zero of=/mnt/big bs=1M count=256
done
) &
while true; do
sync
done &
sleep 1h &
SLEEP=$!
while true; do
echo $SLEEP > a/cgroup.procs
echo $SLEEP > b/cgroup.procs
done
The deadlock does not seem possible, so it's debatable if there's any
reason to modify the kernel. I suggest we should to prevent future
surprises. And Wang Long said "this deadlock occurs three times in our
environment", so there's more reason to apply this, even to stable.
Stable 4.4 has minor conflicts applying this patch. For a clean 4.4 patch

One of the classes of kernel stack content leaks[1] is exposing the
contents of prior heap or stack contents when a new process stack is
allocated. Normally, those stacks are not zeroed, and the old contents
remain in place. In the face of stack content exposure flaws, those
contents can leak to userspace.
Fixing this will make the kernel no longer vulnerable to these flaws, as
the stack will be wiped each time a stack is assigned to a new process.
There's not a meaningful change in runtime performance; it almost looks
like it provides a benefit.
Performing back-to-back kernel builds before:
Run times: 157.86 157.09 158.90 160.94 160.80
Mean: 159.12
Std Dev: 1.54
and after:
Run times: 159.31 157.34 156.71 158.15 160.81
Mean: 158.46
Std Dev: 1.46
Instead of making this a build or runtime config, Andy Lutomirski
recommended this just be enabled by default.
[1] A noisy search for many kinds of stack content leaks can be seen here:
https://cve.mitre.org/cgi-bin/cvekey.cgi?keyword=linux+kernel+stack+leak
I did some more with perf and cycle counts on running 100,000 execs of
/bin/true.
before:
Cycles: 218858861551 218853036130 214727610969 227656844122 224980542841
Mean: 221015379122.60
Std Dev: 4662486552.47
after:
Cycles: 213868945060 213119275204 211820169456 224426673259 225489986348
Mean: 217745009865.40
Std Dev: 5935559279.99
It continues to look like it's faster, though the deviation is rather
wide, but I'm not sure what I could do that would be less noisy. I'm
open to ideas!

small allocation failure in various mount-related places), but the
last one is a root-triggerable stack overflow, and combined with
userns it gets really nasty ;-/"

Don't leak MNT_INTERNAL away from internal mounts

orangefs_kill_sb(): deal with allocation failures
