Pull x86 vdso updates from Ingo Molnar:
"Two changes to simplify the x86 vDSO code a bit"
* tag 'x86-entry-2025-05-25' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/tip/tip:
x86/vdso: Remove redundant #ifdeffery around in_ia32_syscall()
x86/vdso: Remove #ifdeffery around page setup variants
|
|
Both Intel and AMD CPUs support 5-level paging, which is expected to
become more widely adopted in the future. All major x86 Linux
distributions have the feature enabled.
Remove CONFIG_X86_5LEVEL and related #ifdeffery for it to make it more readable.

The software mitigation for BHI is to execute BHB clear sequence at syscall
entry, and possibly after a cBPF program. ITS mitigation thunks RETs in the
lower half of the cacheline. This causes the RETs in the BHB clear sequence
to be thunked as well, adding unnecessary branches to the BHB clear
sequence.
Since the sequence is in hot path, align the RET instructions in the
sequence to avoid thunking.
This is how disassembly clear_bhb_loop() looks like after this change:

Replace the open-coded ifdefs in C sources files with IS_ENABLED().
This makes the code easier to read and enables the compiler to typecheck
also the disabled parts, before optimizing them away.
To make this work, also remove the ifdefs from declarations of used
variables.

write_ibpb() does IBPB, which (among other things) flushes branch type
predictions on AMD. If the CPU has SRSO_NO, or if the SRSO mitigation
has been disabled, branch type flushing isn't needed, in which case the
lighter-weight SBPB can be used.
The 'x86_pred_cmd' variable already keeps track of whether IBPB or SBPB
should be used. Use that instead of hardcoding IBPB.

git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/sysctl/sysctl
Pull sysctl updates from Joel Granados:
- Move vm_table members out of kernel/sysctl.c
All vm_table array members have moved to their respective subsystems
leading to the removal of vm_table from kernel/sysctl.c. This
increases modularity by placing the ctl_tables closer to where they
are actually used and at the same time reducing the chances of merge
conflicts in kernel/sysctl.c.
- ctl_table range fixes
Replace the proc_handler function that checks variable ranges in
coredump_sysctls and vdso_table with the one that actually uses the
extra{1,2} pointers as min/max values. This tightens the range of the
values that users can pass into the kernel effectively preventing
{under,over}flows.
- Misc fixes
Correct grammar errors and typos in test messages. Update sysctl
files in MAINTAINERS. Constified and removed array size in
declaration for alignment_tbl

Pull VDSO infrastructure updates from Thomas Gleixner:
- Consolidate the VDSO storage
The VDSO data storage and data layout has been largely architecture
specific for historical reasons. That increases the maintenance
effort and causes inconsistencies over and over.
There is no real technical reason for architecture specific layouts
and implementations. The architecture specific details can easily be
integrated into a generic layout, which also reduces the amount of
duplicated code for managing the mappings.
Convert all architectures over to a unified layout and common mapping
infrastructure. This splits the VDSO data layout into subsystem
specific blocks, timekeeping, random and architecture parts, which
provides a better structure and allows to improve and update the
functionalities without conflict and interaction.
- Rework the timekeeping data storage
The current implementation is designed for exposing system
timekeeping accessors, which was good enough at the time when it was
designed.
PTP and Time Sensitive Networking (TSN) change that as there are
requirements to expose independent PTP clocks, which are not related
to system timekeeping.
Replace the monolithic data storage by a structured layout, which
allows to add support for independent PTP clocks on top while reusing
both the data structures and the time accessor implementations.

PUSH_REGS with save_ret=1 is used by interrupt entry helper functions that
initially start with a UNWIND_HINT_FUNC ORC state.
However, save_ret=1 means that we clobber the helper function's return
address (and then later restore the return address further down on the
stack); after that point, the only thing on the stack we can unwind through
is the IRET frame, so use UNWIND_HINT_IRET_REGS until we have a full
pt_regs frame.
( An alternate approach would be to move the pt_regs->di overwrite down
such that it is the final step of pt_regs setup; but I don't want to
rearrange entry code just to make unwinding a tiny bit more elegant. )

Pull vfs mount updates from Christian Brauner:
- Mount notifications
The day has come where we finally provide a new api to listen for
mount topology changes outside of /proc/<pid>/mountinfo. A mount
namespace file descriptor can be supplied and registered with
fanotify to listen for mount topology changes.
Currently notifications for mount, umount and moving mounts are
generated. The generated notification record contains the unique
mount id of the mount.
The listmount() and statmount() api can be used to query detailed
information about the mount using the received unique mount id.
This allows userspace to figure out exactly how the mount topology
changed without having to generating diffs of /proc/<pid>/mountinfo
in userspace.
- Support O_PATH file descriptors with FSCONFIG_SET_FD in the new mount
api
- Support detached mounts in overlayfs
Since last cycle we support specifying overlayfs layers via file
descriptors. However, we don't allow detached mounts which means
userspace cannot user file descriptors received via
open_tree(OPEN_TREE_CLONE) and fsmount() directly. They have to
attach them to a mount namespace via move_mount() first.
This is cumbersome and means they have to undo mounts via umount().
Allow them to directly use detached mounts.
- Allow to retrieve idmappings with statmount
Currently it isn't possible to figure out what idmapping has been
attached to an idmapped mount. Add an extension to statmount() which
allows to read the idmapping from the mount.
- Allow creating idmapped mounts from mounts that are already idmapped
So far it isn't possible to allow the creation of idmapped mounts
from already idmapped mounts as this has significant lifetime
implications. Make the creation of idmapped mounts atomic by allow to
pass struct mount_attr together with the open_tree_attr() system call
allowing to solve these issues without complicating VFS lookup in any
way.
The system call has in general the benefit that creating a detached
mount and applying mount attributes to it becomes an atomic operation
for userspace.
- Add a way to query statmount() for supported options
Allow userspace to query which mount information can be retrieved
through statmount().
- Allow superblock owners to force unmount

While the GCC and Clang compilers already define __ASSEMBLER__
automatically when compiling assembly code, __ASSEMBLY__ is a
macro that only gets defined by the Makefiles in the kernel.
This can be very confusing when switching between userspace
and kernelspace coding, or when dealing with UAPI headers that
rather should use __ASSEMBLER__ instead. So let's standardize on
the __ASSEMBLER__ macro that is provided by the compilers now.
This is mostly a mechanical patch (done with a simple "sed -i"
statement), with some manual tweaks in <asm/frame.h>, <asm/hw_irq.h>
and <asm/setup.h> that mentioned this macro in comments with some
missing underscores.

The vclock pages are *after* the non-vclock pages. Currently there are both
two vclock and two non-vclock pages so the existing logic works by
accident. As soon as the number of pages changes it will break however.
This will be the case with the introduction of the generic vDSO data
storage.
Use a macro to keep the calculation understandable and in sync between
the linker script and mapping code.

Older versions of GCC fixed the location of the stack protector canary
at %gs:40. This constraint forced the percpu section to be linked at
absolute address 0 so that the canary could be the first data object in
the percpu section. Supporting the zero-based percpu section requires
additional code to handle relocations for RIP-relative references to
percpu data, extra complexity to kallsyms, and workarounds for linker
bugs due to the use of absolute symbols.
GCC 8.1 supports redefining where the canary is located, allowing it to
become a normal percpu variable instead of at a fixed location. This
removes the constraint that the percpu section must be zero-based.

When CONFIG_X86_32 is defined and CONFIG_UML is not defined,
vdso_enabled belongs to arch/x86/entry/vdso/vdso32-setup.c.
So, move it into its own file.
Before this patch, vdso_enabled was allowed to be set to
a value exceeding 1 on x86_32 architecture. After this patch is
applied, vdso_enabled is not permitted to set the value more than 1.
It does not matter, because according to the function load_vdso32(),
only vdso_enabled is set to 1, VDSO would be enabled. Other values
all mean "disabled". The same limitation could be seen in the
function vdso32_setup().

Add the const qualifier to all the ctl_tables in the tree except for
watchdog_hardlockup_sysctl, memory_allocation_profiling_sysctls,
loadpin_sysctl_table and the ones calling register_net_sysctl (./net,
drivers/inifiniband dirs). These are special cases as they use a
registration function with a non-const qualified ctl_table argument or
modify the arrays before passing them on to the registration function.
Constifying ctl_table structs will prevent the modification of
proc_handler function pointers as the arrays would reside in .rodata.
This is made possible after commit 78eb4ea25cd5 ("sysctl: treewide:
constify the ctl_table argument of proc_handlers") constified all the
proc_handlers.

Pull vdso data page handling updates from Thomas Gleixner:
"First steps of consolidating the VDSO data page handling.
The VDSO data page handling is architecture specific for historical
reasons, but there is no real technical reason to do so.
Aside of that VDSO data has become a dump ground for various
mechanisms and fail to provide a clear separation of the
functionalities.
Clean this up by:
- consolidating the VDSO page data by getting rid of architecture
specific warts especially in x86 and PowerPC.
- removing the last includes of header files which are pulling in
other headers outside of the VDSO namespace.
- seperating timekeeping and other VDSO data accordingly.
Further consolidation of the VDSO page handling is done in subsequent
changes scheduled for the next merge window.
This also lays the ground for expanding the VDSO time getters for
independent PTP clocks in a generic way without making every
architecture add support seperately"

Pull xattr updates from Al Viro:
"Sanitize xattr and io_uring interactions with it, add *xattrat()
syscalls, sanitize struct filename handling in there"
* tag 'pull-xattr' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/viro/vfs:
xattr: remove redundant check on variable err
fs/xattr: add *at family syscalls
new helpers: file_removexattr(), filename_removexattr()
new helpers: file_listxattr(), filename_listxattr()
replace do_getxattr() with saner helpers.
replace do_setxattr() with saner helpers.
new helper: import_xattr_name()
fs: rename struct xattr_ctx to kernel_xattr_ctx
xattr: switch to CLASS(fd)
io_[gs]etxattr_prep(): just use getname()
io_uring: IORING_OP_F[GS]ETXATTR is fine with REQ_F_FIXED_FILE
getname_maybe_null() - the third variant of pathname copy-in
teach filename_lookup() to treat NULL filename as ""

GCC and Clang both implement stack protector support based on Thread Local
Storage (TLS) variables, and this is used in the kernel to implement per-task
stack cookies, by copying a task's stack cookie into a per-CPU variable every
time it is scheduled in.
Both now also implement -mstack-protector-guard-symbol=, which permits the TLS
variable to be specified directly. This is useful because it will allow to
move away from using a fixed offset of 40 bytes into the per-CPU area on
x86_64, which requires a lot of special handling in the per-CPU code and the
runtime relocation code.
However, while GCC is rather lax in its implementation of this command line
option, Clang actually requires that the provided symbol name refers to a TLS
variable (i.e., one declared with __thread), although it also permits the
variable to be undeclared entirely, in which case it will use an implicit
declaration of the right type.
The upshot of this is that Clang will emit the correct references to the stack
cookie variable in most cases, e.g.,
10d: 64 a1 00 00 00 00 mov %fs:0x0,%eax
10f: R_386_32 __stack_chk_guard
However, if a non-TLS definition of the symbol in question is visible in the
same compilation unit (which amounts to the whole of vmlinux if LTO is
enabled), it will drop the per-CPU prefix and emit a load from a bogus
address.
Work around this by using a symbol name that never occurs in C code, and emit
it as an alias in the linker script.

When module text memory will be allocated with ROX permissions, the memory
at the actual address where the module will live will contain invalid
instructions and there will be a writable copy that contains the actual
module code.
Update relocations and alternatives patching to deal with it.

Add the four syscalls setxattrat(), getxattrat(), listxattrat() and
removexattrat(). Those can be used to operate on extended attributes,
especially security related ones, either relative to a pinned directory
or on a file descriptor without read access, avoiding a
/proc/<pid>/fd/<fd> detour, requiring a mounted procfs.
One use case will be setfiles(8) setting SELinux file contexts
("security.selinux") without race conditions and without a file
descriptor opened with read access requiring SELinux read permission.
Use the do_{name}at() pattern from fs/open.c.
Pass the value of the extended attribute, its length, and for
setxattrat(2) the command (XATTR_CREATE or XATTR_REPLACE) via an added
struct xattr_args to not exceed six syscall arguments and not
merging the AT_* and XATTR_* flags.
[AV: fixes by Christian Brauner folded in, the entire thing rebased on
top of {filename,file}_...xattr() primitives, treatment of empty
pathnames regularized. As the result, AT_EMPTY_PATH+NULL handling
is cheap, so f...(2) can use it]
