      License cleanup: add SPDX GPL-2.0 license identifier to files with no license · b2441318
      Greg Kroah-Hartman 提交于
      Many source files in the tree are missing licensing information, which
      makes it harder for compliance tools to determine the correct license.
      
      By default all files without license information are under the default
      license of the kernel, which is GPL version 2.
      
      Update the files which contain no license information with the 'GPL-2.0'
      SPDX license identifier.  The SPDX identifier is a legally binding
      shorthand, which can be used instead of the full boiler plate text.
      
      This patch is based on work done by Thomas Gleixner and Kate Stewart and
      Philippe Ombredanne.
      
      How this work was done:
      
      Patches were generated and checked against linux-4.14-rc6 for a subset of
      the use cases:
       - file had no licensing information it it.
       - file was a */uapi/* one with no licensing information in it,
       - file was a */uapi/* one with existing licensing information,
      
      Further patches will be generated in subsequent months to fix up cases
      where non-standard license headers were used, and references to license
      had to be inferred by heuristics based on keywords.
      
      The analysis to determine which SPDX License Identifier to be applied to
      a file was done in a spreadsheet of side by side results from of the
      output of two independent scanners (ScanCode & Windriver) producing SPDX
      tag:value files created by Philippe Ombredanne.  Philippe prepared the
      base worksheet, and did an initial spot review of a few 1000 files.
      
      The 4.13 kernel was the starting point of the analysis with 60,537 files
      assessed.  Kate Stewart did a file by file comparison of the scanner
      results in the spreadsheet to determine which SPDX license identifier(s)
      to be applied to the file. She confirmed any determination that was not
      immediately clear with lawyers working with the Linux Foundation.
      
      Criteria used to select files for SPDX license identifier tagging was:
       - Files considered eligible had to be source code files.
       - Make and config files were included as candidates if they contained >5
         lines of source
       - File already had some variant of a license header in it (even if <5
         lines).
      
      All documentation files were explicitly excluded.
      
      The following heuristics were used to determine which SPDX license
      identifiers to apply.
      
       - when both scanners couldn't find any license traces, file was
         considered to have no license information in it, and the top level
         COPYING file license applied.
      
         For non */uapi/* files that summary was:
      
         SPDX license identifier                            # files
         ---------------------------------------------------|-------
         GPL-2.0                                              11139
      
         and resulted in the first patch in this series.
      
         If that file was a */uapi/* path one, it was "GPL-2.0 WITH
         Linux-syscall-note" otherwise it was "GPL-2.0".  Results of that was:
      
         SPDX license identifier                            # files
         ---------------------------------------------------|-------
         GPL-2.0 WITH Linux-syscall-note                        930
      
         and resulted in the second patch in this series.
      
       - if a file had some form of licensing information in it, and was one
         of the */uapi/* ones, it was denoted with the Linux-syscall-note if
         any GPL family license was found in the file or had no licensing in
         it (per prior point).  Results summary:
      
         SPDX license identifier                            # files
         ---------------------------------------------------|------
         GPL-2.0 WITH Linux-syscall-note                       270
         GPL-2.0+ WITH Linux-syscall-note                      169
         ((GPL-2.0 WITH Linux-syscall-note) OR BSD-2-Clause)    21
         ((GPL-2.0 WITH Linux-syscall-note) OR BSD-3-Clause)    17
         LGPL-2.1+ WITH Linux-syscall-note                      15
         GPL-1.0+ WITH Linux-syscall-note                       14
         ((GPL-2.0+ WITH Linux-syscall-note) OR BSD-3-Clause)    5
         LGPL-2.0+ WITH Linux-syscall-note                       4
         LGPL-2.1 WITH Linux-syscall-note                        3
         ((GPL-2.0 WITH Linux-syscall-note) OR MIT)              3
         ((GPL-2.0 WITH Linux-syscall-note) AND MIT)             1
      
         and that resulted in the third patch in this series.
      
       - when the two scanners agreed on the detected license(s), that became
         the concluded license(s).
      
       - when there was disagreement between the two scanners (one detected a
         license but the other didn't, or they both detected different
         licenses) a manual inspection of the file occurred.
      
       - In most cases a manual inspection of the information in the file
         resulted in a clear resolution of the license that should apply (and
         which scanner probably needed to revisit its heuristics).
      
       - When it was not immediately clear, the license identifier was
         confirmed with lawyers working with the Linux Foundation.
      
       - If there was any question as to the appropriate license identifier,
         the file was flagged for further research and to be revisited later
         in time.
      
      In total, over 70 hours of logged manual review was done on the
      spreadsheet to determine the SPDX license identifiers to apply to the
      source files by Kate, Philippe, Thomas and, in some cases, confirmation
      by lawyers working with the Linux Foundation.
      
      Kate also obtained a third independent scan of the 4.13 code base from
      FOSSology, and compared selected files where the other two scanners
      disagreed against that SPDX file, to see if there was new insights.  The
      Windriver scanner is based on an older version of FOSSology in part, so
      they are related.
      
      Thomas did random spot checks in about 500 files from the spreadsheets
      for the uapi headers and agreed with SPDX license identifier in the
      files he inspected. For the non-uapi files Thomas did random spot checks
      in about 15000 files.
      
      In initial set of patches against 4.14-rc6, 3 files were found to have
      copy/paste license identifier errors, and have been fixed to reflect the
      correct identifier.
      
      Additionally Philippe spent 10 hours this week doing a detailed manual
      inspection and review of the 12,461 patched files from the initial patch
      version early this week with:
       - a full scancode scan run, collecting the matched texts, detected
         license ids and scores
       - reviewing anything where there was a license detected (about 500+
         files) to ensure that the applied SPDX license was correct
       - reviewing anything where there was no detection but the patch license
         was not GPL-2.0 WITH Linux-syscall-note to ensure that the applied
         SPDX license was correct
      
      This produced a worksheet with 20 files needing minor correction.  This
      worksheet was then exported into 3 different .csv files for the
      different types of files to be modified.
      
      These .csv files were then reviewed by Greg.  Thomas wrote a script to
      parse the csv files and add the proper SPDX tag to the file, in the
      format that the file expected.  This script was further refined by Greg
      based on the output to detect more types of files automatically and to
      distinguish between header and source .c files (which need different
      comment types.)  Finally Greg ran the script using the .csv files to
      generate the patches.

      x86/cpufeature: Replace the old static_cpu_has() with safe variant · bc696ca0
      Borislav Petkov 提交于
      So the old one didn't work properly before alternatives had run.
      And it was supposed to provide an optimized JMP because the
      assumption was that the offset it is jumping to is within a
      signed byte and thus a two-byte JMP.
      
      So I did an x86_64 allyesconfig build and dumped all possible
      sites where static_cpu_has() was used. The optimization amounted
      to all in all 12(!) places where static_cpu_has() had generated
      a 2-byte JMP. Which has saved us a whopping 36 bytes!
      
      This clearly is not worth the trouble so we can remove it. The
      only place where the optimization might count - in __switch_to()
      - we will handle differently. But that's not subject of this
      patch.

      Andy Lutomirski 提交于
      vm86 exposes an interesting attack surface against the entry
      code. Since vm86 is mostly useless anyway if mmap_min_addr != 0,
      just turn it off in that case.
      
      There are some reports that vbetool can work despite setting
      mmap_min_addr to zero.  This shouldn't break that use case,
      as CAP_SYS_RAWIO already overrides mmap_min_addr.

      mm: thp: fix pmd_bad() triggering in code paths holding mmap_sem read mode · 1a5a9906
      Andrea Arcangeli 提交于
      In some cases it may happen that pmd_none_or_clear_bad() is called with
      the mmap_sem hold in read mode.  In those cases the huge page faults can
      allocate hugepmds under pmd_none_or_clear_bad() and that can trigger a
      false positive from pmd_bad() that will not like to see a pmd
      materializing as trans huge.
      
      It's not khugepaged causing the problem, khugepaged holds the mmap_sem
      in write mode (and all those sites must hold the mmap_sem in read mode
      to prevent pagetables to go away from under them, during code review it
      seems vm86 mode on 32bit kernels requires that too unless it's
      restricted to 1 thread per process or UP builds).  The race is only with
      the huge pagefaults that can convert a pmd_none() into a
      pmd_trans_huge().
      
      Effectively all these pmd_none_or_clear_bad() sites running with
      mmap_sem in read mode are somewhat speculative with the page faults, and
      the result is always undefined when they run simultaneously.  This is
      probably why it wasn't common to run into this.  For example if the
      madvise(MADV_DONTNEED) runs zap_page_range() shortly before the page
      fault, the hugepage will not be zapped, if the page fault runs first it
      will be zapped.
      
      Altering pmd_bad() not to error out if it finds hugepmds won't be enough
      to fix this, because zap_pmd_range would then proceed to call
      zap_pte_range (which would be incorrect if the pmd become a
      pmd_trans_huge()).
      
      The simplest way to fix this is to read the pmd in the local stack
      (regardless of what we read, no need of actual CPU barriers, only
      compiler barrier needed), and be sure it is not changing under the code
      that computes its value.  Even if the real pmd is changing under the
      value we hold on the stack, we don't care.  If we actually end up in
      zap_pte_range it means the pmd was not none already and it was not huge,
      and it can't become huge from under us (khugepaged locking explained
      above).
      
      All we need is to enforce that there is no way anymore that in a code
      path like below, pmd_trans_huge can be false, but pmd_none_or_clear_bad
      can run into a hugepmd.  The overhead of a barrier() is just a compiler
      tweak and should not be measurable (I only added it for THP builds).  I
      don't exclude different compiler versions may have prevented the race
      too by caching the value of *pmd on the stack (that hasn't been
      verified, but it wouldn't be impossible considering
      pmd_none_or_clear_bad, pmd_bad, pmd_trans_huge, pmd_none are all inlines
      and there's no external function called in between pmd_trans_huge and
      pmd_none_or_clear_bad).
      
      		if (pmd_trans_huge(*pmd)) {
      			if (next-addr != HPAGE_PMD_SIZE) {
      				VM_BUG_ON(!rwsem_is_locked(&tlb->mm->mmap_sem));
      				split_huge_page_pmd(vma->vm_mm, pmd);
      			} else if (zap_huge_pmd(tlb, vma, pmd, addr))
      				continue;
      			/* fall through */
      		}
      		if (pmd_none_or_clear_bad(pmd))
      
      Because this race condition could be exercised without special
      privileges this was reported in CVE-2012-1179.
      
      The race was identified and fully explained by Ulrich who debugged it.
      I'm quoting his accurate explanation below, for reference.

          and the page's map count (_mapcount field in struct page). When the page
          is subsequently reclaimed, __split_huge_page() detects this inconsistency.
      
             1381         if (mapcount != page_mapcount(page))
             1382                 printk(KERN_ERR "mapcount %d page_mapcount %d\n",
             1383                        mapcount, page_mapcount(page));
          -> 1384         BUG_ON(mapcount != page_mapcount(page));
      
          The root cause of the problem is a race of two threads in a multithreaded
          process. Thread B incurs a page fault on a virtual address that has never
          been accessed (PMD entry is zero) while Thread A is executing an madvise()
          system call on a virtual address within the same 2 MB (huge page) range.

          The mmap_sem does not prevent the race because both threads are acquiring

          the page's map count and PMD table entry are updated.  However, Thread A
          does not synchronize on that lock.

      x86-32: Fix build failure with AUDIT=y, AUDITSYSCALL=n · 6015ff10

        With current linus git (commit a25a2b84), I got following build error,

      OK, I can reproduce it (32bit allmodconfig with AUDIT=y, AUDITSYSCALL=n)
      
      It's due to commit d7e7528b: "Audit: push audit success and retcode

      Audit: push audit success and retcode into arch ptrace.h · d7e7528b
      Eric Paris 提交于
      The audit system previously expected arches calling to audit_syscall_exit to
      supply as arguments if the syscall was a success and what the return code was.
      Audit also provides a helper AUDITSC_RESULT which was supposed to simplify things
      by converting from negative retcodes to an audit internal magic value stating
      success or failure.  This helper was wrong and could indicate that a valid
      pointer returned to userspace was a failed syscall.  The fix is to fix the
      layering foolishness.  We now pass audit_syscall_exit a struct pt_reg and it
      in turns calls back into arch code to collect the return value and to
      determine if the syscall was a success or failure.  We also define a generic
      is_syscall_success() macro which determines success/failure based on if the
      value is < -MAX_ERRNO.  This works for arches like x86 which do not use a
      separate mechanism to indicate syscall failure.
      
      We make both the is_syscall_success() and regs_return_value() static inlines
      instead of macros.  The reason is because the audit function must take a void*
      for the regs.  (uml calls theirs struct uml_pt_regs instead of just struct
      pt_regs so audit_syscall_exit can't take a struct pt_regs).  Since the audit
      function takes a void* we need to use static inlines to cast it back to the
      arch correct structure to dereference it.
      
      The other major change is that on some arches, like ia64, MIPS and ppc, we
      change regs_return_value() to give us the negative value on syscall failure.
      THE only other user of this macro, kretprobe_example.c, won't notice and it
      makes the value signed consistently for the audit functions across all archs.
      
      In arch/sh/kernel/ptrace_64.c I see that we were using regs[9] in the old
      audit code as the return value.  But the ptrace_64.h code defined the macro
      regs_return_value() as regs[3].  I have no idea which one is correct, but this
      patch now uses the regs_return_value() function, so it now uses regs[3].
      
      For powerpc we previously used regs->result but now use the
      regs_return_value() function which uses regs->gprs[3].  regs->gprs[3] is
      always positive so the regs_return_value(), much like ia64 makes it negative
      before calling the audit code when appropriate.

      x86, vm86: Fix preemption bug for int1 debug and int3 breakpoint handlers. · 6554287b
      Bart Oldeman 提交于
      Impact: fix kernel bug such as:
      BUG: scheduling while atomic: dosemu.bin/19680/0x00000004
      See also Ubuntu bug 455067 at
      https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/linux/+bug/455067
      
      Commits 4915a35e
      ("Use preempt_conditional_sti/cli in do_int3, like on x86_64.")
      and 3d2a71a5
      ("x86, traps: converge do_debug handlers")
      started disabling preemption in int1 and int3 handlers on i386.
      The problem with vm86 is that the call to handle_vm86_trap() may jump
      straight to entry_32.S and never returns so preempt is never enabled
      again, and there is an imbalance in the preempt count.
      
      Commit be716615 ("x86, vm86:
      fix preemption bug"), which was later (accidentally?) reverted by commit
      08d68323 ("hw-breakpoints: modifying
      generic debug exception to use thread-specific debug registers")
      fixed the problem for debug exceptions but not for breakpoints.
      
      There are three solutions to this problem.
      
      1. Reenable preemption before calling handle_vm86_trap(). This
      was the approach that was later reverted.
      
      2. Do not disable preemption for i386 in breakpoint and debug handlers.
      This was the situation before October 2008. As far as I understand
      preemption only needs to be disabled on x86_64 because a seperate stack is
      used, but it's nice to have things work the same way on
      i386 and x86_64.
      
      3. Let handle_vm86_trap() return instead of jumping to assembly code.
      By setting a flag in _TIF_WORK_MASK, either TIF_IRET or TIF_NOTIFY_RESUME,
      the code in entry_32.S is instructed to return to 32 bit mode from
      V86 mode. The logic in entry_32.S was already present to handle signals.
      (I chose TIF_IRET because it's slightly more efficient in
      do_notify_resume() in signal.c, but in fact TIF_IRET can probably be
      replaced by TIF_NOTIFY_RESUME everywhere.)
      
      I'm submitting approach 3, because I believe it is the most elegant
      and prevents future confusion. Still, an obvious
      preempt_conditional_cli(regs); is necessary in traps.c to correct the
      bug.
      
      [ hpa: This is technically a regression, but because:
        1. the regression is so old,
        2. the patch seems relatively high risk, justifying more testing, and
        3. we're late in the 2.6.36-rc cycle,
      
        I'm queuing it up for the 2.6.37 merge window.  It might, however,
        justify as a -stable backport at a latter time, hence Cc: stable. ]
