      can: avoid using timeval for uapi · ba61a8d9
      Arnd Bergmann 提交于
      The can subsystem communicates with user space using a bcm_msg_head
      header, which contains two timestamps. This is problematic for
      multiple reasons:
      
      a) The structure layout is currently incompatible between 64-bit
         user space and 32-bit user space, and cannot work in compat
         mode (other than x32).
      
      b) The timeval structure layout will change in 32-bit user
         space when we fix the y2038 overflow problem by redefining
         time_t to 64-bit, making new 32-bit user space incompatible
         with the current kernel interface.
         Cars last a long time and often use old kernels, so the actual
         users of this code are the most likely ones to migrate to y2038
         safe user space.
      
      This tries to work around part of the problem by changing the
      publicly visible user interface in the header, but not the binary
      interface. Fortunately, the values passed around in the structure
      are relative times and do not actually suffer from the y2038
      overflow, so 32-bit is enough here.
      
      We replace the use of 'struct timeval' with a newly defined
      'struct bcm_timeval' that uses the exact same binary layout
      as before and that still suffers from problem a) but not problem
      b).
      
      The downside of this approach is that any user space program
      that currently assigns a timeval structure to these members
      rather than writing the tv_sec/tv_usec portions individually
      will suffer a compile-time error when built with an updated
      kernel header. Fixing this error makes it work fine with old
      and new headers though.
      
      We could address problem a) by using '__u32' or 'int' members
      rather than 'long', but that would have a more significant
      downside in also breaking support for all existing 64-bit user
      binaries that might be using this interface, which is likely
      not acceptable.

      can: replace timestamp as unique skb attribute · d3b58c47
      Oliver Hartkopp 提交于
      Commit 514ac99c "can: fix multiple delivery of a single CAN frame for
      overlapping CAN filters" requires the skb->tstamp to be set to check for
      identical CAN skbs.
      
      Without timestamping to be required by user space applications this timestamp
      was not generated which lead to commit 36c01245 "can: fix loss of CAN frames
      in raw_rcv" - which forces the timestamp to be set in all CAN related skbuffs
      by introducing several __net_timestamp() calls.
      
      This forces e.g. out of tree drivers which are not using alloc_can{,fd}_skb()
      to add __net_timestamp() after skbuff creation to prevent the frame loss fixed
      in mainline Linux.
      
      This patch removes the timestamp dependency and uses an atomic counter to
      create an unique identifier together with the skbuff pointer.
      
      Btw: the new skbcnt element introduced in struct can_skb_priv has to be
      initialized with zero in out-of-tree drivers which are not using
      alloc_can{,fd}_skb() too.

      procfs: new helper - PDE_DATA(inode) · d9dda78b
      Al Viro 提交于
      The only part of proc_dir_entry the code outside of fs/proc
      really cares about is PDE(inode)->data.  Provide a helper
      for that; static inline for now, eventually will be moved
      to fs/proc, along with the knowledge of struct proc_dir_entry

      can: add private data space for CAN sk_buffs · 156c2bb9
      Oliver Hartkopp 提交于
      The struct can_skb_priv is used to transport additional information along
      with the stored struct can(fd)_frame that can not be contained in existing
      struct sk_buff elements.
      
      can_skb_priv is located in the skb headroom, which does not touch the existing
      CAN sk_buff usage with skb->data and skb->len, so that even out-of-tree
      CAN drivers can be used without changes.
      
      Btw. out-of-tree CAN drivers without can_skb_priv in the sk_buff headroom
      would not support features based on can_skb_priv.
      
      The can_skb_priv->ifindex contains the first interface where the CAN frame
      appeared on the local host. Unfortunately skb->skb_iif can not be used as this
      value is overwritten in every netif_receive_skb() call.

      net: convert %p usage to %pK · 71338aa7
      Dan Rosenberg 提交于
      The %pK format specifier is designed to hide exposed kernel pointers,
      specifically via /proc interfaces.  Exposing these pointers provides an
      easy target for kernel write vulnerabilities, since they reveal the
      locations of writable structures containing easily triggerable function
      pointers.  The behavior of %pK depends on the kptr_restrict sysctl.
      
      If kptr_restrict is set to 0, no deviation from the standard %p behavior
      occurs.  If kptr_restrict is set to 1, the default, if the current user
      (intended to be a reader via seq_printf(), etc.) does not have CAP_SYSLOG
      (currently in the LSM tree), kernel pointers using %pK are printed as 0's.
       If kptr_restrict is set to 2, kernel pointers using %pK are printed as
      0's regardless of privileges.  Replacing with 0's was chosen over the
      default "(null)", which cannot be parsed by userland %p, which expects
      "(nil)".
      
      The supporting code for kptr_restrict and %pK are currently in the -mm
      tree.  This patch converts users of %p in net/ to %pK.  Cases of printing
      pointers to the syslog are not covered, since this would eliminate useful
      information for postmortem debugging and the reading of the syslog is
      already optionally protected by the dmesg_restrict sysctl.

      include cleanup: Update gfp.h and slab.h includes to prepare for breaking... · 5a0e3ad6
      Tejun Heo 提交于
      include cleanup: Update gfp.h and slab.h includes to prepare for breaking implicit slab.h inclusion from percpu.h
      
      percpu.h is included by sched.h and module.h and thus ends up being
      included when building most .c files.  percpu.h includes slab.h which
      in turn includes gfp.h making everything defined by the two files
      universally available and complicating inclusion dependencies.
      
      percpu.h -> slab.h dependency is about to be removed.  Prepare for
      this change by updating users of gfp and slab facilities include those
      headers directly instead of assuming availability.  As this conversion
      needs to touch large number of source files, the following script is
      used as the basis of conversion.
      
        http://userweb.kernel.org/~tj/misc/slabh-sweep.py
      
      The script does the followings.
      
      * Scan files for gfp and slab usages and update includes such that
        only the necessary includes are there.  ie. if only gfp is used,
        gfp.h, if slab is used, slab.h.
      
      * When the script inserts a new include, it looks at the include
        blocks and try to put the new include such that its order conforms
        to its surrounding.  It's put in the include block which contains
        core kernel includes, in the same order that the rest are ordered -
        alphabetical, Christmas tree, rev-Xmas-tree or at the end if there
        doesn't seem to be any matching order.
      
      * If the script can't find a place to put a new include (mostly
        because the file doesn't have fitting include block), it prints out
        an error message indicating which .h file needs to be added to the
        file.
      
      The conversion was done in the following steps.
      
      1. The initial automatic conversion of all .c files updated slightly
         over 4000 files, deleting around 700 includes and adding ~480 gfp.h
         and ~3000 slab.h inclusions.  The script emitted errors for ~400
         files.
      
      2. Each error was manually checked.  Some didn't need the inclusion,
         some needed manual addition while adding it to implementation .h or
         embedding .c file was more appropriate for others.  This step added
         inclusions to around 150 files.
      
      3. The script was run again and the output was compared to the edits
         from #2 to make sure no file was left behind.
      
      4. Several build tests were done and a couple of problems were fixed.
         e.g. lib/decompress_*.c used malloc/free() wrappers around slab
         APIs requiring slab.h to be added manually.
      
      5. The script was run on all .h files but without automatically
         editing them as sprinkling gfp.h and slab.h inclusions around .h
         files could easily lead to inclusion dependency hell.  Most gfp.h
         inclusion directives were ignored as stuff from gfp.h was usually
         wildly available and often used in preprocessor macros.  Each
         slab.h inclusion directive was examined and added manually as
         necessary.
      
      6. percpu.h was updated not to include slab.h.
      
      7. Build test were done on the following configurations and failures
         were fixed.  CONFIG_GCOV_KERNEL was turned off for all tests (as my
         distributed build env didn't work with gcov compiles) and a few
         more options had to be turned off depending on archs to make things
         build (like ipr on powerpc/64 which failed due to missing writeq).
      
         * x86 and x86_64 UP and SMP allmodconfig and a custom test config.
         * powerpc and powerpc64 SMP allmodconfig
         * sparc and sparc64 SMP allmodconfig
         * ia64 SMP allmodconfig
         * s390 SMP allmodconfig
         * alpha SMP allmodconfig
         * um on x86_64 SMP allmodconfig
      
      8. percpu.h modifications were reverted so that it could be applied as
         a separate patch and serve as bisection point.
      
      Given the fact that I had only a couple of failures from tests on step
      6, I'm fairly confident about the coverage of this conversion patch.
      If there is a breakage, it's likely to be something in one of the arch
      headers which should be easily discoverable easily on most builds of
      the specific arch.
