2017-07-12kexec: move vmcoreinfo out of the kernel's .bss sectionXunlei Pang8-21/+29
As Eric said, "what we need to do is move the variable vmcoreinfo_note out of the kernel's .bss section. And modify the code to regenerate and keep this information in something like the control page. Definitely something like this needs a page all to itself, and ideally far away from any other kernel data structures. I clearly was not watching closely the data someone decided to keep this silly thing in the kernel's .bss section." This patch allocates extra pages for these vmcoreinfo_XXX variables, one advantage is that it enhances some safety of vmcoreinfo, because vmcoreinfo now is kept far away from other kernel data structures.

2017-07-12kernel/fork.c: virtually mapped stacks: do not disable interruptsChristoph Lameter1-11/+5
The reason to disable interrupts seems to be to avoid switching to a different processor while handling per cpu data using individual loads and stores. If we use per cpu RMV primitives we will not have to disable interrupts.

2017-07-12mm/memory.c: mark create_huge_pmd() inline to prevent build failureGeert Uytterhoeven1-1/+1
With gcc 4.1.2: mm/memory.o: In function `create_huge_pmd': memory.c:(.text+0x93e): undefined reference to `do_huge_pmd_anonymous_page' Interestingly, create_huge_pmd() is emitted in the assembler output, but never called. Converting transparent_hugepage_enabled() from a macro to a static inline function reduced the ability of the compiler to remove unused code. Fix this by marking create_huge_pmd() inline. Fixes: 16981d763501c0e0 ("mm: improve readability of transparent_hugepage_enabled()") Link: http://lkml.kernel.org/r/1499842660-10665-1-git-send-email-geert@linux-m68k.org Signed-off-by: Geert Uytterhoeven <geert@linux-m68k.org> Acked-by: Arnd Bergmann <arnd@arndb.de> Signed-off-by: Andrew Morton <akpm@linux-foundation.org> Signed-off-by: Linus Torvalds <torvalds@linux-foundation.org>
2017-07-12kernel.h: handle pointers to arrays better in container_of()Ian Abbott1-3/+7
If the first parameter of container_of() is a pointer to a non-const-qualified array type (and the third parameter names a non-const-qualified array member), the local variable __mptr will be defined with a const-qualified array type. In ISO C, these types are incompatible. They work as expected in GNU C, but some versions will issue warnings. For example, GCC 4.9 produces the warning "initialization from incompatible pointer type". Here is an example of where the problem occurs: ------------------------------------------------------- #include <linux/kernel.h> #include <linux/module.h> MODULE_LICENSE("GPL"); struct st { int a; char b[16]; }; static int __init example_init(void) { struct st t = { .a = 101, .b = "hello" }; char (*p)[16] = &t.b; struct st *x = container_of(p, struct st, b); printk(KERN_DEBUG "%p %p\n", (void *)&t, (void *)x); return 0; } static void __exit example_exit(void) { } module_init(example_init); module_exit(example_exit); ------------------------------------------------------- Building the module with gcc-4.9 results in these warnings (where '{m}' is the module source and '{k}' is the kernel source): ------------------------------------------------------- In file included from {m}/example.c:1:0: {m}/example.c: In function `example_init': {k}/include/linux/kernel.h:854:48: warning: initialization from incompatible pointer type const typeof( ((type *)0)->member ) *__mptr = (ptr); \ ^ {m}/example.c:14:17: note: in expansion of macro `container_of' struct st *x = container_of(p, struct st, b); ^ {k}/include/linux/kernel.h:854:48: warning: (near initialization for `x') const typeof( ((type *)0)->member ) *__mptr = (ptr); \ ^ {m}/example.c:14:17: note: in expansion of macro `container_of' struct st *x = container_of(p, struct st, b); ^ ------------------------------------------------------- Replace the type checking performed by the macro to avoid these warnings. Make sure `*(ptr)` either has type compatible with the member, or has type compatible with `void`, ignoring qualifiers. Raise compiler errors if this is not true. This is stronger than the previous behaviour, which only resulted in compiler warnings for a type mismatch.

2017-07-10binfmt_elf: safely increment argv pointersKees Cook1-11/+9
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.

2017-07-10binfmt_elf: use ELF_ET_DYN_BASE only for PIEKees Cook2-14/+58
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.

2017-07-10fs, epoll: short circuit fetching events if thread has been killedDavid Rientjes1-0/+10
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.

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.

bucket_table_alloc() can be currently called with GFP_KERNEL or GFP_ATOMIC. For the former we basically have an open coded kvzalloc() while the later only uses kzalloc(). Let's simplify the code a bit by the dropping the open coded path and replace it with kvzalloc().

2017-07-10bitmap: use memcmp optimisation in more situationsMatthew Wilcox2-3/+2
Commit 7dd968163f7c ("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.

2017-07-10include/linux/bitmap.h: turn bitmap_set and bitmap_clear into memset when ↵Matthew Wilcox1-0/+6
possible 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.

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.
