The commit log of 44f564a4 ("ipc: add definitions of USHORT_MAX and others") did not explain why it used (s16) and (u16) instead of (short) and (unsigned short). Let's use (short) and (unsigned short), which is more sensible, and more consistent with the other MAX/MIN defines. As you see in include/uapi/asm-generic/int-ll64.h, s16/u16 are typedef'ed as signed/unsigned short. So, this commit does not have a functional change. Remove the unneeded parentheses around ~0U while we are here.

The single quotation marks around "const" were causing a documentation markup warning with reST. Instead of fixing that warning, just delete that comment line and the gcc-3.3 hack of using "const" in the roundup() macro since gcc-3.3 is no longer supported for kernel builds. I did around 20 different $arch builds with no problems, but we'll just have to see if this causes problems for anyone else out there.

timekeeping suspend/resume calls read_persistent_clock() which takes rtc_lock. That results in might sleep warnings because at that point we run with interrupts disabled. We cannot convert rtc_lock to a raw spinlock as that would trigger other might sleep warnings. As a workaround we disable the might sleep warnings by setting system_state to SYSTEM_SUSPEND before calling sysdev_suspend() and restoring it to SYSTEM_RUNNING afer sysdev_resume(). There is no lock contention because hibernate / suspend to RAM is single-CPU at this point. In s2idle's case the system_state is set to SYSTEM_SUSPEND before timekeeping_suspend() which is invoked by the last CPU. In the resume case it set back to SYSTEM_RUNNING after timekeeping_resume() which is invoked by the first CPU in the resume case. The other CPUs will block on tick_freeze_lock.

Luster has a container_of0() function which is similar to container_of() but passes an IS_ERR_OR_NULL() pointer through unchanged. This could be generally useful: bcache at last has a similar function. Naming is hard, but the precedent set by hlist_entry_safe() suggests a _safe suffix might be most consistent. So add container_of_safe() to kernel.h, and replace all occurrences of container_of0() with one of - list_first_entry, list_next_entry, when that is a better fit, - container_of(), when the pointer is used as a validpointer in surrounding code, - container_of_safe() when there is no obviously better alternative.

Commit 3c8ba0d6 ("kernel.h: Retain constant expression output for max()/min()") rewrote our min/max macros to be very clever, but in the meantime resurrected a variable name shadow issue that we had had previously fixed in commit 589a9785 ("min/max: remove sparse warnings when they're nested"). That commit talks about the sparse warnings that this shadowing causes, which we ignored as just a minor annoyance. But it turns out that the sparse warning is the least of our problems. We actually have a real bug due to the shadowing through the interaction with "min_not_zero()", which ends up doing min(__x, __y) internally, and then the new declaration of "__x" and "__y" as new variables in __cmp_once() results in a complete mess of an expression, and "min_not_zero()" doesn't work at all. For some odd reason, this only ever caused (reported) problems on s390, even though it is a generic issue and most of the (obviously successful) testing of the problematic commit had happened on other architectures. Quoting Sebastian Ott: "What happened is that the bio build by the partition detection code was attempted to be split by the block layer because the block queue had a max_sector setting of 0. blk_queue_max_hw_sectors uses min_not_zero." So re-introduce the use of __UNIQUE_ID() to make sure that the min/max macros do not have these kinds of clashes. [ That said, __UNIQUE_ID() itself has several issues that make it less than wonderful. In particular, the "uniqueness" has a fallback on the line number, which means that it's not actually unique in more complex cases if you don't build with gcc or clang (which have working unique counters that aren't tied to line numbers). That historical broken fallback also means that we have that pointless "prefix" argument that doesn't actually make much sense _except_ for the known-broken case. Oh well. ] Fixes: 3c8ba0d6 ("kernel.h: Retain constant expression output for max()/min()") Reported-and-tested-by: NSebastian Ott <sebott@linux.vnet.ibm.com> Cc: Kees Cook <keescook@chromium.org> Cc: Ingo Molnar <mingo@kernel.org> Cc: Miguel Ojeda <miguel.ojeda.sandonis@gmail.com> Signed-off-by: NLinus Torvalds <torvalds@linux-foundation.org>

In the effort to remove all VLAs from the kernel[1], it is desirable to build with -Wvla. However, this warning is overly pessimistic, in that it is only happy with stack array sizes that are declared as constant expressions, and not constant values. One case of this is the evaluation of the max() macro which, due to its construction, ends up converting constant expression arguments into a constant value result. All attempts to rewrite this macro with __builtin_constant_p() failed with older compilers (e.g. gcc 4.4)[2]. However, Martin Uecker, constructed[3] a mind-shattering solution that works everywhere. Cthulhu fhtagn! This patch updates the min()/max() macros to evaluate to a constant expression when called on constant expression arguments. This removes several false-positive stack VLA warnings from an x86 allmodconfig build when -Wvla is added: $ diff -u before.txt after.txt | grep ^- -drivers/input/touchscreen/cyttsp4_core.c:871:2: warning: ISO C90 forbids variable length array ‘ids’ [-Wvla] -fs/btrfs/tree-checker.c:344:4: warning: ISO C90 forbids variable length array ‘namebuf’ [-Wvla] -lib/vsprintf.c:747:2: warning: ISO C90 forbids variable length array ‘sym’ [-Wvla] -net/ipv4/proc.c:403:2: warning: ISO C90 forbids variable length array ‘buff’ [-Wvla] -net/ipv6/proc.c:198:2: warning: ISO C90 forbids variable length array ‘buff’ [-Wvla] -net/ipv6/proc.c:218:2: warning: ISO C90 forbids variable length array ‘buff64’ [-Wvla] This also updates two cases where different enums were being compared and explicitly casts them to int (which matches the old side-effect of the single-evaluation code): one in tpm/tpm_tis_core.h, and one in drm/drm_color_mgmt.c.

This is the gist of a patch which we've been forward-porting in our kernels for a long time now and it probably would make a good sense to have such TAINT_AUX flag upstream which can be used by each distro etc, how they see fit. This way, we won't need to forward-port a distro-only version indefinitely. Add an auxiliary taint flag to be used by distros and others. This obviates the need to forward-port whatever internal solutions people have in favor of a single flag which they can map arbitrarily to a definition of their pleasing. The "X" mnemonic could also mean eXternal, which would be taint from a distro or something else but not the upstream kernel. We will use it to mark modules for which we don't provide support. I.e., a really eXternal module.

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.

This implements refcount_t overflow protection on x86 without a noticeable performance impact, though without the fuller checking of REFCOUNT_FULL. This is done by duplicating the existing atomic_t refcount implementation but with normally a single instruction added to detect if the refcount has gone negative (e.g. wrapped past INT_MAX or below zero). When detected, the handler saturates the refcount_t to INT_MIN / 2. With this overflow protection, the erroneous reference release that would follow a wrap back to zero is blocked from happening, avoiding the class of refcount-overflow use-after-free vulnerabilities entirely. Only the overflow case of refcounting can be perfectly protected, since it can be detected and stopped before the reference is freed and left to be abused by an attacker. There isn't a way to block early decrements, and while REFCOUNT_FULL stops increment-from-zero cases (which would be the state _after_ an early decrement and stops potential double-free conditions), this fast implementation does not, since it would require the more expensive cmpxchg loops. Since the overflow case is much more common (e.g. missing a "put" during an error path), this protection provides real-world protection. For example, the two public refcount overflow use-after-free exploits published in 2016 would have been rendered unexploitable: http://perception-point.io/2016/01/14/analysis-and-exploitation-of-a-linux-kernel-vulnerability-cve-2016-0728/ http://cyseclabs.com/page?n=02012016 This implementation does, however, notice an unchecked decrement to zero (i.e. caller used refcount_dec() instead of refcount_dec_and_test() and it resulted in a zero). Decrements under zero are noticed (since they will have resulted in a negative value), though this only indicates that a use-after-free may have already happened. Such notifications are likely avoidable by an attacker that has already exploited a use-after-free vulnerability, but it's better to have them reported than allow such conditions to remain universally silent. On first overflow detection, the refcount value is reset to INT_MIN / 2 (which serves as a saturation value) and a report and stack trace are produced. When operations detect only negative value results (such as changing an already saturated value), saturation still happens but no notification is performed (since the value was already saturated). On the matter of races, since the entire range beyond INT_MAX but before 0 is negative, every operation at INT_MIN / 2 will trap, leaving no overflow-only race condition. As for performance, this implementation adds a single "js" instruction to the regular execution flow of a copy of the standard atomic_t refcount operations. (The non-"and_test" refcount_dec() function, which is uncommon in regular refcount design patterns, has an additional "jz" instruction to detect reaching exactly zero.) Since this is a forward jump, it is by default the non-predicted path, which will be reinforced by dynamic branch prediction. The result is this protection having virtually no measurable change in performance over standard atomic_t operations. The error path, located in .text.unlikely, saves the refcount location and then uses UD0 to fire a refcount exception handler, which resets the refcount, handles reporting, and returns to regular execution. This keeps the changes to .text size minimal, avoiding return jumps and open-coded calls to the error reporting routine. Example assembly comparison: refcount_inc() before: .text: ffffffff81546149: f0 ff 45 f4 lock incl -0xc(%rbp) refcount_inc() after: .text: ffffffff81546149: f0 ff 45 f4 lock incl -0xc(%rbp) ffffffff8154614d: 0f 88 80 d5 17 00 js ffffffff816c36d3 ... .text.unlikely: ffffffff816c36d3: 48 8d 4d f4 lea -0xc(%rbp),%rcx ffffffff816c36d7: 0f ff (bad) These are the cycle counts comparing a loop of refcount_inc() from 1 to INT_MAX and back down to 0 (via refcount_dec_and_test()), between unprotected refcount_t (atomic_t), fully protected REFCOUNT_FULL (refcount_t-full), and this overflow-protected refcount (refcount_t-fast): 2147483646 refcount_inc()s and 2147483647 refcount_dec_and_test()s: cycles protections atomic_t 82249267387 none refcount_t-fast 82211446892 overflow, untested dec-to-zero refcount_t-full 144814735193 overflow, untested dec-to-zero, inc-from-zero This code is a modified version of the x86 PAX_REFCOUNT atomic_t overflow defense from the last public patch of PaX/grsecurity, based on my understanding of the code.

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.

The init task can invoke smp_processor_id() from preemptible context as it is pinned on the boot cpu until sched_smp_init() removes the pinning and lets it schedule on all non isolated cpus.

The commit 66cc69e3 ("Fix: module signature vs tracepoints: add new TAINT_UNSIGNED_MODULE") updated module_taint_flags() to potentially print one more character. But it did not increase the size of the corresponding buffers in m_show() and print_modules(). We have recently done the same mistake when adding a taint flag for livepatching, see https://lkml.kernel.org/r/cfba2c823bb984690b73572aaae1db596b54a082.1472137475.git.jpoimboe@redhat.com Also struct module uses an incompatible type for mod-taints flags. It survived from the commit 2bc2d61a ("[PATCH] list module taint flags in Oops/panic"). There was used "int" for the global taint flags at these times. But only the global tain flags was later changed to "unsigned long" by the commit 25ddbb18 ("Make the taint flags reliable"). This patch defines TAINT_FLAGS_COUNT that can be used to create arrays and buffers of the right size. Note that we could not use enum because the taint flag indexes are used also in assembly code. Then it reworks the table that describes the taint flags. The TAINT_* numbers can be used as the index. Instead, we add information if the taint flag is also shown per-module. Finally, it uses "unsigned long", bit operations, and the updated taint_flags table also for mod->taints. It is not optimal because only few taint flags can be printed by module_taint_flags(). But better be on the safe side. IMHO, it is not worth the optimization and this is a good compromise.

The percpu allocator expectedly assumes that the requested alignment is power of two but hasn't been veryfing the input. If the specified alignment isn't power of two, the allocator can malfunction. Add the sanity check. The following is detailed analysis of the effects of alignments which aren't power of two. The alignment must be a even at least since the LSB of a chunk->map element is used as free/in-use flag of a area; besides, the alignment must be a power of 2 too since ALIGN() doesn't work well for other alignment always but is adopted by pcpu_fit_in_area(). IOW, the current allocator only works well for a power of 2 aligned area allocation. See below opposite example for why an odd alignment doesn't work. Let's assume area [16, 36) is free but its previous one is in-use, we want to allocate a @size == 8 and @align == 7 area. The larger area [16, 36) is split to three areas [16, 21), [21, 29), [29, 36) eventually. However, due to the usage for a chunk->map element, the actual offset of the aim area [21, 29) is 21 but is recorded in relevant element as 20; moreover, the residual tail free area [29, 36) is mistook as in-use and is lost silently Unlike macro roundup(), ALIGN(x, a) doesn't work if @a isn't a power of 2 for example, roundup(10, 6) == 12 but ALIGN(10, 6) == 10, and the latter result isn't desired obviously. tj: Code style and patch description updates.

It is not always easy to determine the cause of an RCU stall just by analysing the RCU stall messages, mainly when the problem is caused by the indirect starvation of rcu threads. For example, when preempt_rcu is not awakened due to the starvation of a timer softirq. We have been hard coding panic() in the RCU stall functions for some time while testing the kernel-rt. But this is not possible in some scenarios, like when supporting customers. This patch implements the sysctl kernel.panic_on_rcu_stall. If set to 1, the system will panic() when an RCU stall takes place, enabling the capture of a vmcore. The vmcore provides a way to analyze all kernel/tasks states, helping out to point to the culprit and the solution for the stall. The kernel.panic_on_rcu_stall sysctl is disabled by default. Changes from v1: - Fixed a typo in the git log - The if(sysctl_panic_on_rcu_stall) panic() is in a static function - Fixed the CONFIG_TINY_RCU compilation issue - The var sysctl_panic_on_rcu_stall is now __read_mostly Cc: Jonathan Corbet <corbet@lwn.net> Cc: "Paul E.

Attach the malloc attribute to a few allocation functions. This helps gcc generate better code by telling it that the return value doesn't alias any existing pointers (which is even more valuable given the pessimizations implied by -fno-strict-aliasing).

Commit 1717f209 ("panic, x86: Fix re-entrance problem due to panic on NMI") and commit 58c5661f ("panic, x86: Allow CPUs to save registers even if looping in NMI context") introduced nmi_panic() which prevents concurrent/recursive execution of panic(). It also saves registers for the crash dump on x86. However, there are some cases where NMI handlers still use panic(). This patch set partially replaces them with nmi_panic() in those cases. Even this patchset is applied, some NMI or similar handlers (e.g. MCE handler) continue to use panic(). This is because I can't test them well and actual problems won't happen. For example, the possibility that normal panic and panic on MCE happen simultaneously is very low. This patch (of 3): Convert nmi_panic() to a proper function and export it instead of exporting internal implementation details to modules, for obvious reasons.
