2016-07-08apparmor: fix oops, validate buffer size in apparmor_setprocattr()Vegard Nossum
When proc_pid_attr_write() was changed to use memdup_user apparmor's (interface violating) assumption that the setprocattr buffer was always a single page was violated. The size test is not strictly speaking needed as proc_pid_attr_write() will reject anything larger, but for the sake of robustness we can keep it in. SMACK and SELinux look safe to me, but somebody else should probably have a look just in case. Based on original patch from Vegard Nossum <vegard.nossum@oracle.com> modified for the case that apparmor provides null termination.

2016-07-07Revert "ecryptfs: forbid opening files without mmap handler"Jeff Mahoney
This reverts commit 2f36db71009304b3f0b95afacd8eba1f9f046b87. It fixed a local root exploit but also introduced a dependency on the lower file system implementing an mmap operation just to open a file, which is a bit of a heavy hammer. The right fix is to have mmap depend on the existence of the mmap handler instead.

2016-07-07ipvs: fix bind to link-local mcast IPv6 address in backupQuentin Armitage
When using HEAD from https://git.kernel.org/cgit/utils/kernel/ipvsadm/ipvsadm.git/, the command: ipvsadm --start-daemon backup --mcast-interface eth0.60 \ --mcast-group ff02::1:81 fails with the error message: Argument list too long whereas both: ipvsadm --start-daemon master --mcast-interface eth0.60 \ --mcast-group ff02::1:81 and: ipvsadm --start-daemon backup --mcast-interface eth0.60 \ --mcast-group 224.0.0.81 are successful. The error message "Argument list too long" isn't helpful. The error occurs because an IPv6 address is given in backup mode. The error is in make_receive_sock() in net/netfilter/ipvs/ip_vs_sync.c, since it fails to set the interface on the address or the socket before calling inet6_bind() (via sock->ops->bind), where the test 'if (!sk->sk_bound_dev_if)' failed. Setting sock->sk->sk_bound_dev_if on the socket before calling inet6_bind() resolves the issue.

2016-07-07lightnvm: make rrpc_map_page call nvm_get_blk outside locksMatias Bjørling
The nvm_get_blk() function is called with rlun->lock held. This is ok when the media manager implementation doesn't go out of its atomic context. However, if a media manager persists its metadata, and guarantees that the block is given to the target, this is no longer a viable approach. Therefore, clean up the flow of rrpc_map_page, and make sure that nvm_get_blk() is called without any locks acquired.

2016-07-07lightnvm: remove _unlocked variant of [get/put]_blkMatias Bjørling
The [get/put]_blk API enables targets to get ownership of blocks at runtime. This information is currently not recorded on disk, and the information is therefore lost on power failure. To restore the metadata, the [get/put]_blk must persist its metadata. In that case, we need to control the outer lock, so that we can disable them while updating the on-disk metadata. Fortunately, the _unlocked versions can be removed, which allows us to move the lock into the [get/put]_blk functions.

2016-07-07lightnvm: remove nested lock conflict with mmMatias Bjørling
If a media manager tries to initialize it targets upon media manager initialization, the media manager will need to know which target types are available in LightNVM. The lists of which managers and target types are available shares the same lock. Therefore, on initialization, the nvm_lock is taken by LightNVM core, which later leads to a deadlock when target types are enumerated by the media manager. Add an exclusive lock for target types to resolve this conflict. Signed-off-by: Matias Bjørling <m@bjorling.me> Signed-off-by: Jens Axboe <axboe@fb.com>
2016-07-07lightnvm: move target mgmt into media mgrMatias Bjørling
To enable persistent block management to easily control creation and removal of targets, we move target management into the media manager. The LightNVM core continues to maintain which target types are registered, while the media manager now keeps track of its initialized targets. Two new callbacks for the media manager are introduced. create_tgt and remove_tgt. Note that remove_tgt returns 0 on successfully removing a target, and returns 1 if the target was not found.

2016-07-07kbuild: Remove stale asm-generic wrappersJames Hogan
When a header file is removed from generic-y (often accompanied by the addition of an arch specific header), the generated wrapper file will persist, and in some cases may still take precedence over the new arch header. For example commit f1fe2d21f4e1 ("MIPS: Add definitions for extended context") removed ucontext.h from generic-y in arch/mips/include/asm/, and added an arch/mips/include/uapi/asm/ucontext.h. The continued use of the wrapper when reusing a dirty build tree resulted in build failures in arch/mips/kernel/signal.c: arch/mips/kernel/signal.c: In function ‘sc_to_extcontext’: arch/mips/kernel/signal.c:142:12: error: ‘struct ucontext’ has no member named ‘uc_extcontext’ return &uc->uc_extcontext; ^ Fix by detecting and removing wrapper headers in generated header directories that do not correspond to a filename in generic-y, genhdr-y, or the newly introduced generated-y.

Currently only x86 generates extra headers in these directories, for the purposes of enumerating system calls for different ABIs, and xen hypercalls.

2016-07-07timers: Implement optimization for same expiry time in mod_timer()Anna-Maria Gleixner
The existing optimization for same expiry time in mod_timer() checks whether the timer expiry time is the same as the new requested expiry time. In the old timer wheel implementation this does not take the slack batching into account, neither does the new implementation evaluate whether the new expiry time will requeue the timer to the same bucket. To optimize that, we can calculate the resulting bucket and check if the new expiry time is different from the current expiry time. This calculation happens outside the base lock held region. If the resulting bucket is the same we can avoid taking the base lock and requeueing the timer. If the timer needs to be requeued then we have to check under the base lock whether the base time has changed between the lockless calculation and taking the lock. If it has changed we need to recalculate under the lock. This optimization takes effect for timers which are enqueued into the less granular wheel levels (1 and above). With a simple test case the functionality has been verified: Before After Match: 5.5% 86.6% Requeue: 94.5% 13.4% Recalc: <0.01% In the non optimized case the timer is requeued in 94.5% of the cases. With the index optimization in place the requeue rate drops to 13.4%. The case where the lockless index calculation has to be redone is less than 0.01%. With a real world test case (networking) we observed the following changes: Before After Match: 97.8% 99.7% Requeue: 2.2% 0.3% Recalc: <0.001% That means two percent fewer lock/requeue/unlock operations done in one of the hot path use cases of timers.
