      kexec, x86/purgatory: Unbreak it and clean it up · 40c50c1f
      Thomas Gleixner 提交于
      The purgatory code defines global variables which are referenced via a
      symbol lookup in the kexec code (core and arch).
      
      A recent commit addressing sparse warnings made these static and thereby
      broke kexec_file.
      
      Why did this happen? Simply because the whole machinery is undocumented and
      lacks any form of forward declarations. The variable names are unspecific
      and lack a prefix, so adding forward declarations creates shadow variables
      in the core code. Aside of that the code relies on magic constants and
      duplicate struct definitions with no way to ensure that these things stay
      in sync. The section placement of the purgatory variables happened by
      chance and not by design.
      
      Unbreak kexec and cleanup the mess:
      
       - Add proper forward declarations and document the usage
       - Use common struct definition
       - Use the proper common defines instead of magic constants
       - Add a purgatory_ prefix to have a proper name space
       - Use ARRAY_SIZE() instead of a homebrewn reimplementation
       - Add proper sections to the purgatory variables [ From Mike ]

      userfaultfd: non-cooperative: userfaultfd_remove revalidate vma in MADV_DONTNEED · 70ccb92f
      Andrea Arcangeli 提交于
      userfaultfd_remove() has to be execute before zapping the pagetables or
      UFFDIO_COPY could keep filling pages after zap_page_range returned,
      which would result in non zero data after a MADV_DONTNEED.
      
      However userfaultfd_remove() may have to release the mmap_sem.  This was
      handled correctly in MADV_REMOVE, but MADV_DONTNEED accessed a
      potentially stale vma (the very vma passed to zap_page_range(vma, ...)).
      
      The fix consists in revalidating the vma in case userfaultfd_remove()
      had to release the mmap_sem.
      
      This also optimizes away an unnecessary down_read/up_read in the
      MADV_REMOVE case if UFFD_EVENT_FORK had to be delivered.
      
      It all remains zero runtime cost in case CONFIG_USERFAULTFD=n as
      userfaultfd_remove() will be defined as "true" at build time.

      userfaultfd: non-cooperative: rollback userfaultfd_exit · dd0db88d
      Andrea Arcangeli 提交于
      Patch series "userfaultfd non-cooperative further update for 4.11 merge
      window".
      
      Unfortunately I noticed one relevant bug in userfaultfd_exit while doing
      more testing.  I've been doing testing before and this was also tested
      by kbuild bot and exercised by the selftest, but this bug never
      reproduced before.
      
      I dropped userfaultfd_exit as result.  I dropped it because of
      implementation difficulty in receiving signals in __mmput and because I
      think -ENOSPC as result from the background UFFDIO_COPY should be enough
      already.
      
      Before I decided to remove userfaultfd_exit, I noticed userfaultfd_exit
      wasn't exercised by the selftest and when I tried to exercise it, after
      moving it to a more correct place in __mmput where it would make more
      sense and where the vma list is stable, it resulted in the
      event_wait_completion in D state.  So then I added the second patch to
      be sure even if we call userfaultfd_event_wait_completion too late
      during task exit(), we won't risk to generate tasks in D state.  The
      same check exists in handle_userfault() for the same reason, except it
      makes a difference there, while here is just a robustness check and it's
      run under WARN_ON_ONCE.
      
      While looking at the userfaultfd_event_wait_completion() function I
      looked back at its callers too while at it and I think it's not ok to
      stop executing dup_fctx on the fcs list because we relay on
      userfaultfd_event_wait_completion to execute
      userfaultfd_ctx_put(fctx->orig) which is paired against
      userfaultfd_ctx_get(fctx->orig) in dup_userfault just before
      list_add(fcs).  This change only takes care of fctx->orig but this area
      also needs further review looking for similar problems in fctx->new.
      
      The only patch that is urgent is the first because it's an use after
      free during a SMP race condition that affects all processes if
      CONFIG_USERFAULTFD=y.  Very hard to reproduce though and probably
      impossible without SLUB poisoning enabled.
      
      This patch (of 3):
      
      I once reproduced this oops with the userfaultfd selftest, it's not
      easily reproducible and it requires SLUB poisoning to reproduce.

      In the debugger I located the "mm" pointer in the stack and walking
      mm->mmap->vm_next through the end shows the vma->vm_next list is fully
      consistent and it is null terminated list as expected.  So this has to
      be an SMP race condition where userfaultfd_exit was running while the
      vma list was being modified by another CPU.
      
      When userfaultfd_exit() run one of the ->vm_next pointers pointed to
      SLAB_POISON (RBX is the vma pointer and is 0x6b6b..).
      
      The reason is that it's not running in __mmput but while there are still
      other threads running and it's not holding the mmap_sem (it can't as it
      has to wait the even to be received by the manager).  So this is an use
      after free that was happening for all processes.
      
      One more implementation problem aside from the race condition:
      userfaultfd_exit has really to check a flag in mm->flags before walking
      the vma or it's going to slowdown the exit() path for regular tasks.
      
      One more implementation problem: at that point signals can't be
      delivered so it would also create a task in D state if the manager
      doesn't read the event.
      
      The major design issue: it overall looks superfluous as the manager can
      check for -ENOSPC in the background transfer:
      
      	if (mmget_not_zero(ctx->mm)) {
      [..]
      	} else {
      		return -ENOSPC;
      	}
      
      It's safer to roll it back and re-introduce it later if at all.

      sched/headers: fix up header file dependency on <linux/sched/signal.h> · bd0f9b35
      Linus Torvalds 提交于
      The scheduler header file split and cleanups ended up exposing a few
      nasty header file dependencies, and in particular it showed how we in
      <linux/wait.h> ended up depending on "signal_pending()", which now comes
      from <linux/sched/signal.h>.
      
      That's a very subtle and annoying dependency, which already caused a
      semantic merge conflict (see commit e58bc927 "Pull overlayfs updates
      from Miklos Szeredi", which added that fixup in the merge commit).
      
      It turns out that we can avoid this dependency _and_ improve code
      generation by moving the guts of the fairly nasty helper #define
      __wait_event_interruptible_locked() to out-of-line code.  The code that
      includes the signal_pending() check is all in the slow-path where we
      actually go to sleep waiting for the event anyway, so using a helper
      function is the right thing to do.
      
      Using a helper function is also what we already did for the non-locked
      versions, see the "__wait_event*()" macros and the "prepare_to_wait*()"
      set of helper functions.
      
      We might want to try to unify all these macro games, we have a _lot_ of
      subtly different wait-event loops.  But this is the minimal patch to fix
      the annoying header dependency.

      Commit 3821fd35 ("jump_label: Reduce the size of struct static_key")
      broke old compilers that could not handle static initialization of anonymous
      unions. Boris fixed it with a patch that added brackets around the static
      initializer. But this creates a dependency between those initializers and
      the structure's order of its fields. Document this dependency in case new
      fields are added to struct static_key in the future.

      Add a system call to make extended file information available, including
      file creation and some attribute flags where available through the
      underlying filesystem.
      
      The getattr inode operation is altered to take two additional arguments: a
      u32 request_mask and an unsigned int flags that indicate the
      synchronisation mode.  This change is propagated to the vfs_getattr*()
      function.
      
      Functions like vfs_stat() are now inline wrappers around new functions
      vfs_statx() and vfs_statx_fd() to reduce stack usage.
      
      ========
      OVERVIEW
      ========
      
      The idea was initially proposed as a set of xattrs that could be retrieved
      with getxattr(), but the general preference proved to be for a new syscall
      with an extended stat structure.
      
      A number of requests were gathered for features to be included.  The
      following have been included:
      
       (1) Make the fields a consistent size on all arches and make them large.
      
       (2) Spare space, request flags and information flags are provided for
           future expansion.
      
       (3) Better support for the y2038 problem [Arnd Bergmann] (tv_sec is an
           __s64).
      
       (4) Creation time: The SMB protocol carries the creation time, which could
           be exported by Samba, which will in turn help CIFS make use of
           FS-Cache as that can be used for coherency data (stx_btime).
      
           This is also specified in NFSv4 as a recommended attribute and could
           be exported by NFSD [Steve French].
      
       (5) Lightweight stat: Ask for just those details of interest, and allow a
           netfs (such as NFS) to approximate anything not of interest, possibly
           without going to the server [Trond Myklebust, Ulrich Drepper, Andreas
           Dilger] (AT_STATX_DONT_SYNC).
      
       (6) Heavyweight stat: Force a netfs to go to the server, even if it thinks
           its cached attributes are up to date [Trond Myklebust]
           (AT_STATX_FORCE_SYNC).
      
      And the following have been left out for future extension:
      
       (7) Data version number: Could be used by userspace NFS servers [Aneesh
           Kumar].
      
           Can also be used to modify fill_post_wcc() in NFSD which retrieves
           i_version directly, but has just called vfs_getattr().  It could get
           it from the kstat struct if it used vfs_xgetattr() instead.
      
           (There's disagreement on the exact semantics of a single field, since
           not all filesystems do this the same way).
      
       (8) BSD stat compatibility: Including more fields from the BSD stat such
           as creation time (st_btime) and inode generation number (st_gen)
           [Jeremy Allison, Bernd Schubert].
      
       (9) Inode generation number: Useful for FUSE and userspace NFS servers
           [Bernd Schubert].
      
           (This was asked for but later deemed unnecessary with the
           open-by-handle capability available and caused disagreement as to
           whether it's a security hole or not).
      
      (10) Extra coherency data may be useful in making backups [Andreas Dilger].
      
           (No particular data were offered, but things like last backup
           timestamp, the data version number and the DOS archive bit would come
           into this category).
      
      (11) Allow the filesystem to indicate what it can/cannot provide: A
           filesystem can now say it doesn't support a standard stat feature if
           that isn't available, so if, for instance, inode numbers or UIDs don't
           exist or are fabricated locally...
      
           (This requires a separate system call - I have an fsinfo() call idea
           for this).
      
      (12) Store a 16-byte volume ID in the superblock that can be returned in
           struct xstat [Steve French].
      
           (Deferred to fsinfo).
      
      (13) Include granularity fields in the time data to indicate the
           granularity of each of the times (NFSv4 time_delta) [Steve French].
      
           (Deferred to fsinfo).
      
      (14) FS_IOC_GETFLAGS value.  These could be translated to BSD's st_flags.
           Note that the Linux IOC flags are a mess and filesystems such as Ext4
           define flags that aren't in linux/fs.h, so translation in the kernel
           may be a necessity (or, possibly, we provide the filesystem type too).
      
           (Some attributes are made available in stx_attributes, but the general
           feeling was that the IOC flags were to ext[234]-specific and shouldn't
           be exposed through statx this way).
      
      (15) Mask of features available on file (eg: ACLs, seclabel) [Brad Boyer,
           Michael Kerrisk].
      
           (Deferred, probably to fsinfo.  Finding out if there's an ACL or
           seclabal might require extra filesystem operations).
      
      (16) Femtosecond-resolution timestamps [Dave Chinner].
      
           (A __reserved field has been left in the statx_timestamp struct for
           this - if there proves to be a need).
      
      (17) A set multiple attributes syscall to go with this.
      
      ===============
      NEW SYSTEM CALL
      ===============
      
      The new system call is:
      
      	int ret = statx(int dfd,
      			const char *filename,
      			unsigned int flags,
      			unsigned int mask,
      			struct statx *buffer);
      
      The dfd, filename and flags parameters indicate the file to query, in a
      similar way to fstatat().  There is no equivalent of lstat() as that can be
      emulated with statx() by passing AT_SYMLINK_NOFOLLOW in flags.  There is
      also no equivalent of fstat() as that can be emulated by passing a NULL
      filename to statx() with the fd of interest in dfd.
      
      Whether or not statx() synchronises the attributes with the backing store
      can be controlled by OR'ing a value into the flags argument (this typically
      only affects network filesystems):
      
       (1) AT_STATX_SYNC_AS_STAT tells statx() to behave as stat() does in this
           respect.
      
       (2) AT_STATX_FORCE_SYNC will require a network filesystem to synchronise
           its attributes with the server - which might require data writeback to
           occur to get the timestamps correct.
      
       (3) AT_STATX_DONT_SYNC will suppress synchronisation with the server in a
           network filesystem.  The resulting values should be considered
           approximate.
      
      mask is a bitmask indicating the fields in struct statx that are of
      interest to the caller.  The user should set this to STATX_BASIC_STATS to
      get the basic set returned by stat().  It should be noted that asking for
      more information may entail extra I/O operations.
      
      buffer points to the destination for the data.  This must be 256 bytes in
      size.
      
      ======================
      MAIN ATTRIBUTES RECORD
      ======================
      
      The following structures are defined in which to return the main attribute
      set:
      
      	struct statx_timestamp {
      		__s64	tv_sec;
      		__s32	tv_nsec;
      		__s32	__reserved;
      	};
      
      	struct statx {
      		__u32	stx_mask;
      		__u32	stx_blksize;
      		__u64	stx_attributes;
      		__u32	stx_nlink;
      		__u32	stx_uid;
      		__u32	stx_gid;
      		__u16	stx_mode;
      		__u16	__spare0[1];
      		__u64	stx_ino;
      		__u64	stx_size;
      		__u64	stx_blocks;
      		__u64	__spare1[1];
      		struct statx_timestamp	stx_atime;
      		struct statx_timestamp	stx_btime;
      		struct statx_timestamp	stx_ctime;
      		struct statx_timestamp	stx_mtime;
      		__u32	stx_rdev_major;
      		__u32	stx_rdev_minor;
      		__u32	stx_dev_major;
      		__u32	stx_dev_minor;
      		__u64	__spare2[14];
      	};
      
      The defined bits in request_mask and stx_mask are:
      
      	STATX_TYPE		Want/got stx_mode & S_IFMT
      	STATX_MODE		Want/got stx_mode & ~S_IFMT
      	STATX_NLINK		Want/got stx_nlink
      	STATX_UID		Want/got stx_uid
      	STATX_GID		Want/got stx_gid
      	STATX_ATIME		Want/got stx_atime{,_ns}
      	STATX_MTIME		Want/got stx_mtime{,_ns}
      	STATX_CTIME		Want/got stx_ctime{,_ns}
      	STATX_INO		Want/got stx_ino
      	STATX_SIZE		Want/got stx_size
      	STATX_BLOCKS		Want/got stx_blocks
      	STATX_BASIC_STATS	[The stuff in the normal stat struct]
      	STATX_BTIME		Want/got stx_btime{,_ns}
      	STATX_ALL		[All currently available stuff]
      
      stx_btime is the file creation time, stx_mask is a bitmask indicating the
      data provided and __spares*[] are where as-yet undefined fields can be
      placed.
      
      Time fields are structures with separate seconds and nanoseconds fields
      plus a reserved field in case we want to add even finer resolution.  Note
      that times will be negative if before 1970; in such a case, the nanosecond
      fields will also be negative if not zero.
      
      The bits defined in the stx_attributes field convey information about a
      file, how it is accessed, where it is and what it does.  The following
      attributes map to FS_*_FL flags and are the same numerical value:
      
      	STATX_ATTR_COMPRESSED		File is compressed by the fs
      	STATX_ATTR_IMMUTABLE		File is marked immutable
      	STATX_ATTR_APPEND		File is append-only
      	STATX_ATTR_NODUMP		File is not to be dumped
      	STATX_ATTR_ENCRYPTED		File requires key to decrypt in fs
      
      Within the kernel, the supported flags are listed by:
      
      	KSTAT_ATTR_FS_IOC_FLAGS
      
      [Are any other IOC flags of sufficient general interest to be exposed
      through this interface?]
      
      New flags include:
      
      	STATX_ATTR_AUTOMOUNT		Object is an automount trigger
      
      These are for the use of GUI tools that might want to mark files specially,
      depending on what they are.
      
      Fields in struct statx come in a number of classes:
      
       (0) stx_dev_*, stx_blksize.
      
           These are local system information and are always available.
      
       (1) stx_mode, stx_nlinks, stx_uid, stx_gid, stx_[amc]time, stx_ino,
           stx_size, stx_blocks.
      
           These will be returned whether the caller asks for them or not.  The
           corresponding bits in stx_mask will be set to indicate whether they
           actually have valid values.
      
           If the caller didn't ask for them, then they may be approximated.  For
           example, NFS won't waste any time updating them from the server,
           unless as a byproduct of updating something requested.
      
           If the values don't actually exist for the underlying object (such as
           UID or GID on a DOS file), then the bit won't be set in the stx_mask,
           even if the caller asked for the value.  In such a case, the returned
           value will be a fabrication.
      
           Note that there are instances where the type might not be valid, for
           instance Windows reparse points.
      
       (2) stx_rdev_*.
      
           This will be set only if stx_mode indicates we're looking at a
           blockdev or a chardev, otherwise will be 0.
      
       (3) stx_btime.
      
           Similar to (1), except this will be set to 0 if it doesn't exist.
      
      =======
      TESTING
      =======
      
      The following test program can be used to test the statx system call:
      
      	samples/statx/test-statx.c
      
      Just compile and run, passing it paths to the files you want to examine.
      The file is built automatically if CONFIG_SAMPLES is enabled.
      
      Here's some example output.  Firstly, an NFS directory that crosses to
      another FSID.  Note that the AUTOMOUNT attribute is set because transiting
      this directory will cause d_automount to be invoked by the VFS.
      
      	[root@andromeda ~]# /tmp/test-statx -A /warthog/data
      	statx(/warthog/data) = 0
      	results=7ff
      	  Size: 4096            Blocks: 8          IO Block: 1048576  directory
      	Device: 00:26           Inode: 1703937     Links: 125
      	Access: (3777/drwxrwxrwx)  Uid:     0   Gid:  4041
      	Access: 2016-11-24 09:02:12.219699527+0000
      	Modify: 2016-11-17 10:44:36.225653653+0000
      	Change: 2016-11-17 10:44:36.225653653+0000
      	Attributes: 0000000000001000 (-------- -------- -------- -------- -------- -------- ---m---- --------)
      
      Secondly, the result of automounting on that directory.
      
      	[root@andromeda ~]# /tmp/test-statx /warthog/data
      	statx(/warthog/data) = 0
      	results=7ff
      	  Size: 4096            Blocks: 8          IO Block: 1048576  directory
      	Device: 00:27           Inode: 2           Links: 125
      	Access: (3777/drwxrwxrwx)  Uid:     0   Gid:  4041

      sched/headers: Remove <linux/rculist.h> from <linux/sched.h> · b68070e1
      Ingo Molnar 提交于
      We don't actually need the full rculist.h header anymore, include
      the smaller rcupdate.h header instead.

      pid.h already defines it.

      sched/headers: Remove <linux/signal.h> from <linux/sched.h> · 192c9414
      Ingo Molnar 提交于
      Instead of including the full <linux/signal.h>, only include the types-only
      <linux/signal_types.h> header in <linux/sched.h>, to further decouple the
      scheduler header from the signal headers.

      Ingo Molnar 提交于
      This is a stray header that is not needed by anything in sched.h,
      so remove it.
      
      Update files that relied on the stray inclusion.
      
      This reduces the size of the header dependency graph.
