      initramfs: fix initramfs size calculation · ffe8018c
      Hendrik Brueckner 提交于
      The size of a built-in initramfs is calculated in init/initramfs.c by
      "__initramfs_end - __initramfs_start".  Those symbols are defined in the
      linker script include/asm-generic/vmlinux.lds.h:
      
      #define INIT_RAM_FS                                                     \
              . = ALIGN(PAGE_SIZE);                                           \
              VMLINUX_SYMBOL(__initramfs_start) = .;                          \
              *(.init.ramfs)                                                  \
              VMLINUX_SYMBOL(__initramfs_end) = .;
      
      If the initramfs file has an odd number of bytes, the "__initramfs_end"
      symbol points to an odd address, for example, the symbols in the
      System.map might look like:
      
          0000000000572000 T __initramfs_start
          00000000005bcd05 T __initramfs_end	  <-- odd address
      
      At least on s390 this causes a problem:
      
      Certain s390 instructions, especially instructions for loading addresses
      (larl) or branch addresses must be on even addresses.  The compiler loads
      the symbol addresses with the "larl" instruction.  This instruction sets
      the last bit to 0 and, therefore, for odd size files, the calculated size
      is one byte less than it should be:
      
          0000000000540a9c <populate_rootfs>:
            540a9c:     eb cf f0 78 00 24       stmg    %r12,%r15,120(%r15),
            540aa2:     c0 10 00 01 8a af       larl    %r1,572000 <__initramfs_start>
            540aa8:     c0 c0 00 03 e1 2e       larl    %r12,5bcd04 <initramfs_end>
                                                        (Instead of  5bcd05)
            ...
            540abe:     1b c1                   sr      %r12,%r1
      
      To fix the problem, this patch introduces the global variable
      __initramfs_size, which is calculated in the "usr/initramfs_data.S" file.
      The populate_rootfs() function can then use the start marker of the
      .init.ramfs section and the value of __initramfs_size for loading the
      initramfs.  Because the start marker and size is sufficient, the
      __initramfs_end symbol is no longer needed and is removed.

      Remove initramfs_data.{lzo,lzma,gz,bz2}.S variants and use a common
      implementation in initramfs_data.S.  The common implementation expects the
      file name of the initramfs to be defined in INITRAMFS_IMAGE.

      {A,C}FLAGS_KERNEL was used both in the top-level Makefile
      in the arch makefiles, thus users had no way to specify
      additional options to AS, CC without overriding
      the original value.
      
      Introduce a new set of variables KBUILD_{A,C}FLAGS_KERNEL
      that is used by arch specific files and free up
      {A,C}FLAGS_KERNEL so they can be assigned on

      It is now possible to assign options to AS, CC and LD
      on the command line - which is only used when building modules.

      Note: Previously we had a MODFLAGS variable for both
      AS and CC. But in favour of consistency this was dropped.
      So in some cases arch Makefile has one assignmnet replaced by
      two assignmnets.
      
      Note2: MODFLAGS was not documented and is dropped
      without any notice. I do not expect much/any breakage
      from this.

      CRED: Fix __task_cred()'s lockdep check and banner comment · 8f92054e
      David Howells 提交于
      Fix __task_cred()'s lockdep check by removing the following validation
      condition:
      
      	lockdep_tasklist_lock_is_held()
      
      as commit_creds() does not take the tasklist_lock, and nor do most of the
      functions that call it, so this check is pointless and it can prevent
      detection of the RCU lock not being held if the tasklist_lock is held.
      
      Instead, add the following validation condition:
      
      	task->exit_state >= 0
      
      to permit the access if the target task is dead and therefore unable to change
      its own credentials.
      
      Fix __task_cred()'s comment to:
      
       (1) discard the bit that says that the caller must prevent the target task
           from being deleted.  That shouldn't need saying.
      
       (2) Add a comment indicating the result of __task_cred() should not be passed
           directly to get_cred(), but rather than get_task_cred() should be used
           instead.
      
      Also put a note into the documentation to enforce this point there too.

      CRED: Fix get_task_cred() and task_state() to not resurrect dead credentials · de09a977
      David Howells 提交于
      It's possible for get_task_cred() as it currently stands to 'corrupt' a set of
      credentials by incrementing their usage count after their replacement by the
      task being accessed.
      
      What happens is that get_task_cred() can race with commit_creds():
      
      	TASK_1			TASK_2			RCU_CLEANER
      	-->get_task_cred(TASK_2)
      	rcu_read_lock()
      	__cred = __task_cred(TASK_2)
      				-->commit_creds()
      				old_cred = TASK_2->real_cred
      				TASK_2->real_cred = ...
      				put_cred(old_cred)
      				  call_rcu(old_cred)
      		[__cred->usage == 0]
      	get_cred(__cred)
      		[__cred->usage == 1]
      	rcu_read_unlock()
      							-->put_cred_rcu()
      							[__cred->usage == 1]
      							panic()
      
      However, since a tasks credentials are generally not changed very often, we can
      reasonably make use of a loop involving reading the creds pointer and using
      atomic_inc_not_zero() to attempt to increment it if it hasn't already hit zero.
      
      If successful, we can safely return the credentials in the knowledge that, even
      if the task we're accessing has released them, they haven't gone to the RCU
      cleanup code.
      
      We then change task_state() in procfs to use get_task_cred() rather than
      calling get_cred() on the result of __task_cred(), as that suffers from the
      same problem.
      
      Without this change, a BUG_ON in __put_cred() or in put_cred_rcu() can be
      tripped when it is noticed that the usage count is not zero as it ought to be,
      for example:
