2020-05-15x86: Fix early boot crash on gcc-10, third tryBorislav Petkov
... or the odyssey of trying to disable the stack protector for the function which generates the stack canary value. The whole story started with Sergei reporting a boot crash with a kernel built with gcc-10: Kernel panic — not syncing: stack-protector: Kernel stack is corrupted in: start_secondary CPU: 1 PID: 0 Comm: swapper/1 Not tainted 5.6.0-rc5—00235—gfffb08b37df9 #139 Hardware name: Gigabyte Technology Co., Ltd. To be filled by O.E.M./H77M—D3H, BIOS F12 11/14/2013 Call Trace: dump_stack panic ? start_secondary __stack_chk_fail start_secondary secondary_startup_64 -—-[ end Kernel panic — not syncing: stack—protector: Kernel stack is corrupted in: start_secondary This happens because gcc-10 tail-call optimizes the last function call in start_secondary() - cpu_startup_entry() - and thus emits a stack canary check which fails because the canary value changes after the boot_init_stack_canary() call. To fix that, the initial attempt was to mark the one function which generates the stack canary with: __attribute__((optimize("-fno-stack-protector"))) ... start_secondary(void *unused) however, using the optimize attribute doesn't work cumulatively as the attribute does not add to but rather replaces previously supplied optimization options - roughly all -fxxx options. The key one among them being -fno-omit-frame-pointer and thus leading to not present frame pointer - frame pointer which the kernel needs. The next attempt to prevent compilers from tail-call optimizing the last function call cpu_startup_entry(), shy of carving out start_secondary() into a separate compilation unit and building it with -fno-stack-protector, was to add an empty asm(""). This current solution was short and sweet, and reportedly, is supported by both compilers but we didn't get very far this time: future (LTO?) optimization passes could potentially eliminate this, which leads us to the third attempt: having an actual memory barrier there which the compiler cannot ignore or move around etc. That should hold for a long time, but hey we said that about the other two solutions too so...

2020-05-15i2c: mux: Replace zero-length array with flexible-arrayGustavo A. R. Silva
The current codebase makes use of the zero-length array language extension to the C90 standard, but the preferred mechanism to declare variable-length types such as these ones is a flexible array member[1][2], introduced in C99: struct foo { int stuff; struct boo array[]; }; By making use of the mechanism above, we will get a compiler warning in case the flexible array does not occur last in the structure, which will help us prevent some kind of undefined behavior bugs from being inadvertently introduced[3] to the codebase from now on. Also, notice that, dynamic memory allocations won't be affected by this change: "Flexible array members have incomplete type, and so the sizeof operator may not be applied. As a quirk of the original implementation of zero-length arrays, sizeof evaluates to zero."[1] sizeof(flexible-array-member) triggers a warning because flexible array members have incomplete type[1]. There are some instances of code in which the sizeof operator is being incorrectly/erroneously applied to zero-length arrays and the result is zero. Such instances may be hiding some bugs. So, this work (flexible-array member conversions) will also help to get completely rid of those sorts of issues. This issue was found with the help of Coccinelle.

2020-05-14mm, memcg: fix inconsistent oom event behaviorYafang Shao
A recent commit 9852ae3fe529 ("mm, memcg: consider subtrees in memory.events") changed the behavior of memcg events, which will now consider subtrees in memory.events. But oom_kill event is a special one as it is used in both cgroup1 and cgroup2. In cgroup1, it is displayed in memory.oom_control. The file memory.oom_control is in both root memcg and non root memcg, that is different with memory.event as it only in non-root memcg. That commit is okay for cgroup2, but it is not okay for cgroup1 as it will cause inconsistent behavior between root memcg and non-root memcg. Here's an example on why this behavior is inconsistent in cgroup1. root memcg / memcg foo / memcg bar Suppose there's an oom_kill in memcg bar, then the oon_kill will be root memcg : memory.oom_control(oom_kill) 0 / memcg foo : memory.oom_control(oom_kill) 1 / memcg bar : memory.oom_control(oom_kill) 1 For the non-root memcg, its memory.oom_control(oom_kill) includes its descendants' oom_kill, but for root memcg, it doesn't include its descendants' oom_kill. That means, memory.oom_control(oom_kill) has different meanings in different memcgs. That is inconsistent. Then the user has to know whether the memcg is root or not. If we can't fully support it in cgroup1, for example by adding memory.events.local into cgroup1 as well, then let's don't touch its original behavior.

2020-05-14block: blk-crypto-fallback for Inline EncryptionSatya Tangirala
Blk-crypto delegates crypto operations to inline encryption hardware when available. The separately configurable blk-crypto-fallback contains a software fallback to the kernel crypto API - when enabled, blk-crypto will use this fallback for en/decryption when inline encryption hardware is not available. This lets upper layers not have to worry about whether or not the underlying device has support for inline encryption before deciding to specify an encryption context for a bio. It also allows for testing without actual inline encryption hardware - in particular, it makes it possible to test the inline encryption code in ext4 and f2fs simply by running xfstests with the inlinecrypt mount option, which in turn allows for things like the regular upstream regression testing of ext4 to cover the inline encryption code paths.

2020-05-14block: Make blk-integrity preclude hardware inline encryptionSatya Tangirala
Whenever a device supports blk-integrity, make the kernel pretend that the device doesn't support inline encryption (essentially by setting the keyslot manager in the request queue to NULL). There's no hardware currently that supports both integrity and inline encryption. However, it seems possible that there will be such hardware in the near future (like the NVMe key per I/O support that might support both inline encryption and PI). But properly integrating both features is not trivial, and without real hardware that implements both, it is difficult to tell if it will be done correctly by the majority of hardware that support both. So it seems best not to support both features together right now, and to decide what to do at probe time.

2020-05-14block: Inline encryption support for blk-mqSatya Tangirala
We must have some way of letting a storage device driver know what encryption context it should use for en/decrypting a request. However, it's the upper layers (like the filesystem/fscrypt) that know about and manages encryption contexts. As such, when the upper layer submits a bio to the block layer, and this bio eventually reaches a device driver with support for inline encryption, the device driver will need to have been told the encryption context for that bio. We want to communicate the encryption context from the upper layer to the storage device along with the bio, when the bio is submitted to the block layer. To do this, we add a struct bio_crypt_ctx to struct bio, which can represent an encryption context (note that we can't use the bi_private field in struct bio to do this because that field does not function to pass information across layers in the storage stack). We also introduce various functions to manipulate the bio_crypt_ctx and make the bio/request merging logic aware of the bio_crypt_ctx. We also make changes to blk-mq to make it handle bios with encryption contexts. blk-mq can merge many bios into the same request. These bios need to have contiguous data unit numbers (the necessary changes to blk-merge are also made to ensure this) - as such, it suffices to keep the data unit number of just the first bio, since that's all a storage driver needs to infer the data unit number to use for each data block in each bio in a request. blk-mq keeps track of the encryption context to be used for all the bios in a request with the request's rq_crypt_ctx. When the first bio is added to an empty request, blk-mq will program the encryption context of that bio into the request_queue's keyslot manager, and store the returned keyslot in the request's rq_crypt_ctx. All the functions to operate on encryption contexts are in blk-crypto.c. Upper layers only need to call bio_crypt_set_ctx with the encryption key, algorithm and data_unit_num; they don't have to worry about getting a keyslot for each encryption context, as blk-mq/blk-crypto handles that. Blk-crypto also makes it possible for request-based layered devices like dm-rq to make use of inline encryption hardware by cloning the rq_crypt_ctx and programming a keyslot in the new request_queue when necessary. Note that any user of the block layer can submit bios with an encryption context, such as filesystems, device-mapper targets, etc. Signed-off-by: Satya Tangirala <satyat@google.com> Reviewed-by: Eric Biggers <ebiggers@google.com> Reviewed-by: Christoph Hellwig <hch@lst.de> Signed-off-by: Jens Axboe <axboe@kernel.dk>
2020-05-14block: Keyslot Manager for Inline EncryptionSatya Tangirala
Inline Encryption hardware allows software to specify an encryption context (an encryption key, crypto algorithm, data unit num, data unit size) along with a data transfer request to a storage device, and the inline encryption hardware will use that context to en/decrypt the data. The inline encryption hardware is part of the storage device, and it conceptually sits on the data path between system memory and the storage device. Inline Encryption hardware implementations often function around the concept of "keyslots". These implementations often have a limited number of "keyslots", each of which can hold a key (we say that a key can be "programmed" into a keyslot). Requests made to the storage device may have a keyslot and a data unit number associated with them, and the inline encryption hardware will en/decrypt the data in the requests using the key programmed into that associated keyslot and the data unit number specified with the request. As keyslots are limited, and programming keys may be expensive in many implementations, and multiple requests may use exactly the same encryption contexts, we introduce a Keyslot Manager to efficiently manage keyslots. We also introduce a blk_crypto_key, which will represent the key that's programmed into keyslots managed by keyslot managers. The keyslot manager also functions as the interface that upper layers will use to program keys into inline encryption hardware. For more information on the Keyslot Manager, refer to documentation found in block/keyslot-manager.c and linux/keyslot-manager.h.

2020-05-14proc/mounts: add cursorMiklos Szeredi
If mounts are deleted after a read(2) call on /proc/self/mounts (or its kin), the subsequent read(2) could miss a mount that comes after the deleted one in the list. This is because the file position is interpreted as the number mount entries from the start of the list. E.g. first read gets entries #0 to #9; the seq file index will be 10. Then entry #5 is deleted, resulting in #10 becoming #9 and #11 becoming #10, etc... The next read will continue from entry #10, and #9 is missed. Solve this by adding a cursor entry for each open instance. Taking the global namespace_sem for write seems excessive, since we are only dealing with a per-namespace list. Instead add a per-namespace spinlock and use that together with namespace_sem taken for read to protect against concurrent modification of the mount list. This may reduce parallelism of is_local_mountpoint(), but it's hardly a big contention point. We could also use RCU freeing of cursors to make traversal not need additional locks, if that turns out to be neceesary. Only move the cursor once for each read (cursor is not added on open) to minimize cacheline invalidation. When EOF is reached, the cursor is taken off the list, in order to prevent an excessive number of cursors due to inactive open file descriptors.

2020-05-14vfs: allow unprivileged whiteout creationMiklos Szeredi
Whiteouts, unlike real device node should not require privileges to create. The general concern with device nodes is that opening them can have side effects. The kernel already avoids zero major (see Documentation/admin-guide/devices.txt). To be on the safe side the patch explicitly forbids registering a char device with 0/0 number (see cdev_add()). This guarantees that a non-O_PATH open on a whiteout will fail with ENODEV; i.e. it won't have any side effect. Signed-off-by: Miklos Szeredi <mszeredi@redhat.com>

2020-05-14video/hdmi: Add Unpack only function for DRM infoframeGwan-gyeong Mun
It adds an unpack only function for DRM infoframe for dynamic range and mastering infoframe readout. It unpacks the information data block contained in the binary buffer into a structured frame of the HDMI Dynamic Range and Mastering (DRM) information frame. In contrast to hdmi_drm_infoframe_unpack() function, it does not verify a checksum. It can be used for unpacking a DP HDR Metadata Infoframe SDP case. DP HDR Metadata Infoframe SDP uses the same Dynamic Range and Mastering (DRM) information (CTA-861-G spec.) such as HDMI DRM infoframe. But DP SDP header and payload structure are different from HDMI DRM Infoframe. Therefore unpacking DRM infoframe for DP requires skipping of a verifying checksum. v9: Add clear comments to hdmi_drm_infoframe_unpack_only() and hdmi_drm_infoframe_unpack() (Laurent Pinchart) Signed-off-by: Gwan-gyeong Mun <gwan-gyeong.mun@intel.com> Reviewed-by: Uma Shankar <uma.shankar@intel.com> Cc: Laurent Pinchart <laurent.pinchart@ideasonboard.com> Cc: Ville Syrjala <ville.syrjala@linux.intel.com> Acked-by: Daniel Vetter <daniel.vetter@ffwll.ch> Signed-off-by: Jani Nikula <jani.nikula@intel.com> Link: https://patchwork.freedesktop.org/patch/msgid/20200514060732.3378396-2-gwan-gyeong.mun@intel.com

Most modern broadcom PHYs support ECD (enhanced cable diagnostics). Add support for it in the bcm-phy-lib so they can easily be used in the PHY driver. There are two access methods for ECD: legacy by expansion registers and via the new RDB registers which are exclusive. Provide functions in two variants where the PHY driver can choose from. To keep things simple for now, we just switch the register access to expansion registers in the RDB variant for now. On the flipside, we have to keep a bus lock to prevent any other non-legacy access on the PHY. The results of the intra-pair tests are inconclusive (at least for the BCM54140). Most of the times half the length is reported but sometimes the length is correct.

2020-05-13bpf: Enable bpf_iter targets registering ctx argument typesYonghong Song
Commit b121b341e598 ("bpf: Add PTR_TO_BTF_ID_OR_NULL support") adds a field btf_id_or_null_non0_off to bpf_prog->aux structure to indicate that the first ctx argument is PTR_TO_BTF_ID reg_type and all others are PTR_TO_BTF_ID_OR_NULL. This approach does not really scale if we have other different reg types in the future, e.g., a pointer to a buffer. This patch enables bpf_iter targets registering ctx argument reg types which may be different from the default one. For example, for pointers to structures, the default reg_type is PTR_TO_BTF_ID for tracing program. The target can register a particular pointer type as PTR_TO_BTF_ID_OR_NULL which can be used by the verifier to enforce accesses.

2020-05-13kvm: Replace vcpu->swait with rcuwaitDavidlohr Bueso
The use of any sort of waitqueue (simple or regular) for wait/waking vcpus has always been an overkill and semantically wrong. Because this is per-vcpu (which is blocked) there is only ever a single waiting vcpu, thus no need for any sort of queue. As such, make use of the rcuwait primitive, with the following considerations: - rcuwait already provides the proper barriers that serialize concurrent waiter and waker. - Task wakeup is done in rcu read critical region, with a stable task pointer. - Because there is no concurrency among waiters, we need not worry about rcuwait_wait_event() calls corrupting the wait->task. As a consequence, this saves the locking done in swait when modifying the queue. This also applies to per-vcore wait for powerpc kvm-hv. The x86 tscdeadline_latency test mentioned in 8577370fb0cb ("KVM: Use simple waitqueue for vcpu->wq") shows that, on avg, latency is reduced by around 15-20% with this change.

2020-05-13greybus: Replace zero-length array with flexible-arrayGustavo A. R. Silva
The current codebase makes use of the zero-length array language extension to the C90 standard, but the preferred mechanism to declare variable-length types such as these ones is a flexible array member[1][2], introduced in C99: struct foo { int stuff; struct boo array[]; }; By making use of the mechanism above, we will get a compiler warning in case the flexible array does not occur last in the structure, which will help us prevent some kind of undefined behavior bugs from being inadvertently introduced[3] to the codebase from now on. Also, notice that, dynamic memory allocations won't be affected by this change: "Flexible array members have incomplete type, and so the sizeof operator may not be applied. As a quirk of the original implementation of zero-length arrays, sizeof evaluates to zero."[1] sizeof(flexible-array-member) triggers a warning because flexible array members have incomplete type[1]. There are some instances of code in which the sizeof operator is being incorrectly/erroneously applied to zero-length arrays and the result is zero. Such instances may be hiding some bugs. So, this work (flexible-array member conversions) will also help to get completely rid of those sorts of issues. This issue was found with the help of Coccinelle.

2020-05-13nsproxy: attach to namespaces via pidfdsChristian Brauner
For quite a while we have been thinking about using pidfds to attach to namespaces. This patchset has existed for about a year already but we've wanted to wait to see how the general api would be received and adopted. Now that more and more programs in userspace have started using pidfds for process management it's time to send this one out. This patch makes it possible to use pidfds to attach to the namespaces of another process, i.e. they can be passed as the first argument to the setns() syscall. When only a single namespace type is specified the semantics are equivalent to passing an nsfd. That means setns(nsfd, CLONE_NEWNET) equals setns(pidfd, CLONE_NEWNET). However, when a pidfd is passed, multiple namespace flags can be specified in the second setns() argument and setns() will attach the caller to all the specified namespaces all at once or to none of them. Specifying 0 is not valid together with a pidfd. Here are just two obvious examples: setns(pidfd, CLONE_NEWPID | CLONE_NEWNS | CLONE_NEWNET); setns(pidfd, CLONE_NEWUSER); Allowing to also attach subsets of namespaces supports various use-cases where callers setns to a subset of namespaces to retain privilege, perform an action and then re-attach another subset of namespaces. If the need arises, as Eric suggested, we can extend this patchset to assume even more context than just attaching all namespaces. His suggestion specifically was about assuming the process' root directory when setns(pidfd, 0) or setns(pidfd, SETNS_PIDFD) is specified. For now, just keep it flexible in terms of supporting subsets of namespaces but let's wait until we have users asking for even more context to be assumed. At that point we can add an extension. The obvious example where this is useful is a standard container manager interacting with a running container: pushing and pulling files or directories, injecting mounts, attaching/execing any kind of process, managing network devices all these operations require attaching to all or at least multiple namespaces at the same time. Given that nowadays most containers are spawned with all namespaces enabled we're currently looking at at least 14 syscalls, 7 to open the /proc/<pid>/ns/<ns> nsfds, another 7 to actually perform the namespace switch. With time namespaces we're looking at about 16 syscalls. (We could amortize the first 7 or 8 syscalls for opening the nsfds by stashing them in each container's monitor process but that would mean we need to send around those file descriptors through unix sockets everytime we want to interact with the container or keep on-disk state. Even in scenarios where a caller wants to join a particular namespace in a particular order callers still profit from batching other namespaces. That mostly applies to the user namespace but all container runtimes I found join the user namespace first no matter if it privileges or deprivileges the container similar to how unshare behaves.) With pidfds this becomes a single syscall no matter how many namespaces are supposed to be attached to. A decently designed, large-scale container manager usually isn't the parent of any of the containers it spawns so the containers don't die when it crashes or needs to update or reinitialize. This means that for the manager to interact with containers through pids is inherently racy especially on systems where the maximum pid number is not significicantly bumped. This is even more problematic since we often spawn and manage thousands or ten-thousands of containers. Interacting with a container through a pid thus can become risky quite quickly. Especially since we allow for an administrator to enable advanced features such as syscall interception where we're performing syscalls in lieu of the container. In all of those cases we use pidfds if they are available and we pass them around as stable references. Using them to setns() to the target process' namespaces is as reliable as using nsfds. Either the target process is already dead and we get ESRCH or we manage to attach to its namespaces but we can't accidently attach to another process' namespaces. So pidfds lend themselves to be used with this api. The other main advantage is that with this change the pidfd becomes the only relevant token for most container interactions and it's the only token we need to create and send around. Apart from significiantly reducing the number of syscalls from double digit to single digit which is a decent reason post-spectre/meltdown this also allows to switch to a set of namespaces atomically, i.e. either attaching to all the specified namespaces succeeds or we fail. If we fail we haven't changed a single namespace. There are currently three namespaces that can fail (other than for ENOMEM which really is not very interesting since we then have other problems anyway) for non-trivial reasons, user, mount, and pid namespaces. We can fail to attach to a pid namespace if it is not our current active pid namespace or a descendant of it. We can fail to attach to a user namespace because we are multi-threaded or because our current mount namespace shares filesystem state with other tasks, or because we're trying to setns() to the same user namespace, i.e. the target task has the same user namespace as we do. We can fail to attach to a mount namespace because it shares filesystem state with other tasks or because we fail to lookup the new root for the new mount namespace. In most non-pathological scenarios these issues can be somewhat mitigated. But there are cases where we're half-attached to some namespace and failing to attach to another one. I've talked about some of these problem during the hallway track (something only the pre-COVID-19 generation will remember) of Plumbers in Los Angeles in 2018(?). Even if all these issues could be avoided with super careful userspace coding it would be nicer to have this done in-kernel. Pidfds seem to lend themselves nicely for this. The other neat thing about this is that setns() becomes an actual counterpart to the namespace bits of unshare().
