2013-12-02nohz: Convert a few places to use local per cpu accessesFrederic Weisbecker
A few functions use remote per CPU access APIs when they deal with local values. Just do the right conversion to improve performance, code readability and debug checks. While at it, lets extend some of these function names with *_this_cpu() suffix in order to display their purpose more clearly.

Pull networking updates from David Miller: "Here is a pile of bug fixes that accumulated while I was in Europe" 1) In fixing kernel leaks to userspace during copying of socket addresses, we broke a case that used to work, namely the user providing a buffer larger than the in-kernel generic socket address structure. This broke Ruby amongst other things. Fix from Dan Carpenter. 2) Fix regression added by byte queue limit support in 8139cp driver, from Yang Yingliang. 3) The addition of MSG_SENDPAGE_NOTLAST buggered up a few sendpage implementations, they should just treat it the same as MSG_MORE. Fix from Richard Weinberger and Shawn Landden. 4) Handle icmpv4 errors received on ipv6 SIT tunnels correctly, from Oussama Ghorbel. In particular we should send an ICMPv6 unreachable in such situations. 5) Fix some regressions in the recent genetlink fixes, in particular get the pmcraid driver to use the new safer interfaces correctly. From Johannes Berg. 6) macvtap was converted to use a per-cpu set of statistics, but some code was still bumping tx_dropped elsewhere. From Jason Wang. 7) Fix build failure of xen-netback due to missing include on some architectures, from Andy Whitecroft. 8) macvtap double counts received packets in statistics, fix from Vlad Yasevich. 9) Fix various cases of using *_STATS_BH() when *_STATS() is more appropriate.

2013-12-02security: shmem: implement kernel private shmem inodesEric Paris
We have a problem where the big_key key storage implementation uses a shmem backed inode to hold the key contents. Because of this detail of implementation LSM checks are being done between processes trying to read the keys and the tmpfs backed inode. The LSM checks are already being handled on the key interface level and should not be enforced at the inode level (since the inode is an implementation detail, not a part of the security model) This patch implements a new function shmem_kernel_file_setup() which returns the equivalent to shmem_file_setup() only the underlying inode has S_PRIVATE set. This means that all LSM checks for the inode in question are skipped. It should only be used for kernel internal operations where the inode is not exposed to userspace without proper LSM checking. It is possible that some other users of shmem_file_setup() should use the new interface, but this has not been explored. Reproducing this bug is a little bit difficult. The steps I used on Fedora are: (1) Turn off selinux enforcing: setenforce 0 (2) Create a huge key k=`dd if=/dev/zero bs=8192 count=1 | keyctl padd big_key test-key @s` (3) Access the key in another context: runcon system_u:system_r:httpd_t:s0-s0:c0.c1023 keyctl print $k >/dev/null (4) Examine the audit logs: ausearch -m AVC -i --subject httpd_t | audit2allow If the last command's output includes a line that looks like: allow httpd_t user_tmpfs_t:file { open read }; There was an inode check between httpd and the tmpfs filesystem. With this patch no such denial will be seen.

2013-12-02KEYS: Fix multiple key add into associative arrayDavid Howells
If sufficient keys (or keyrings) are added into a keyring such that a node in the associative array's tree overflows (each node has a capacity N, currently 16) and such that all N+1 keys have the same index key segment for that level of the tree (the level'th nibble of the index key), then assoc_array_insert() calls ops->diff_objects() to indicate at which bit position the two index keys vary. However, __key_link_begin() passes a NULL object to assoc_array_insert() with the intention of supplying the correct pointer later before we commit the change. This means that keyring_diff_objects() is given a NULL pointer as one of its arguments which it does not expect. This results in an oops like the attached. With the previous patch to fix the keyring hash function, this can be forced much more easily by creating a keyring and only adding keyrings to it. Add any other sort of key and a different insertion path is taken - all 16+1 objects must want to cluster in the same node slot. This can be tested by: r=`keyctl newring sandbox @s` for ((i=0; i<=16; i++)); do keyctl newring ring$i $r; done This should work fine, but oopses when the 17th keyring is added. Since ops->diff_objects() is always called with the first pointer pointing to the object to be inserted (ie. the NULL pointer), we can fix the problem by changing the to-be-inserted object pointer to point to the index key passed into assoc_array_insert() instead. Whilst we're at it, we also switch the arguments so that they are the same as for ->compare_object().

fs/sysfs/symlink.c::sysfs_delete_link() tests @sd->s_flags for SYSFS_FLAG_NS. Let's add kernfs_ns_enabled() so that sysfs doesn't have to test sysfs_dirent flag directly. This makes things tidier for kernfs proper too. This is purely cosmetic. v2: To avoid possible NULL deref, use noop dummy implementation which always returns false when !CONFIG_SYSFS.

2013-11-29sysfs, kernfs: make sysfs_dirent definition publicTejun Heo
sysfs_dirent includes some information which should be available to kernfs users - the type, flags, name and parent pointer. This patch moves sysfs_dirent definition from kernfs/kernfs-internal.h to include/linux/kernfs.h so that kernfs users can access them. The type part of flags is exported as enum kernfs_node_type, the flags kernfs_node_flag, sysfs_type() and kernfs_enable_ns() are moved to include/linux/kernfs.h and the former is updated to return the enum type. sysfs_dirent->s_parent and ->s_name are marked explicitly as public. This patch doesn't introduce any functional changes. v2: Flags exported too and kernfs_enable_ns() definition moved. v3: While moving kernfs_enable_ns() to include/linux/kernfs.h, v1 and v2 put the definition outside CONFIG_SYSFS replacing the dummy implementation with the actual implementation too. Unfortunately, this can lead to oops when !CONFIG_SYSFS because kernfs_enable_ns() may be called on a NULL @sd and now tries to dereference @sd instead of not doing anything.

2013-11-29sysfs, kernfs: prepare mount path for kernfsTejun Heo
We're in the process of separating out core sysfs functionality into kernfs which will deal with sysfs_dirents directly. This patch rearranges mount path so that the kernfs and sysfs parts are separate. * As sysfs_super_info won't be visible outside kernfs proper, kernfs_super_ns() is added to allow kernfs users to access a super_block's namespace tag. * Generic mount operation is separated out into kernfs_mount_ns(). sysfs_mount() now just performs sysfs-specific permission check, acquires namespace tag, and invokes kernfs_mount_ns(). * Generic superblock release is separated out into kernfs_kill_sb() which can be used directly as file_system_type->kill_sb(). As sysfs needs to put the namespace tag, sysfs_kill_sb() wraps kernfs_kill_sb() with ns tag put. * sysfs_dir_cachep init and sysfs_inode_init() are separated out into kernfs_init(). kernfs_init() uses only small amount of memory and trying to handle and propagate kernfs_init() failure doesn't make much sense. Use SLAB_PANIC for sysfs_dir_cachep and make sysfs_inode_init() panic on failure. After this change, kernfs_init() should be called before sysfs_init(), fs/namespace.c::mnt_init() modified accordingly.

2013-11-29sysfs, kernfs: make inode number ida per kernfs_rootTejun Heo
kernfs is being updated to allow multiple sysfs_dirent hierarchies so that it can also be used by other users. Currently, inode number is allocated using a global ida, sysfs_ino_ida; however, inos for different hierarchies should be handled separately. This patch makes ino allocation per kernfs_root. sysfs_ino_ida is replaced by kernfs_root->ino_ida and sysfs_new_dirent() is updated to take @root and allocate ino from it. ida_simple_get/remove() are used instead of sysfs_ino_lock and sysfs_alloc/free_ino().

2013-11-29sysfs, kernfs: implement kernfs_create/destroy_root()Tejun Heo
There currently is single kernfs hierarchy in the whole system which is used for sysfs. kernfs needs to support multiple hierarchies to allow other users. This patch introduces struct kernfs_root which serves as the root of each kernfs hierarchy and implements kernfs_create/destroy_root(). * Each kernfs_root is associated with a root sd (sysfs_dentry). The root is freed when the root sd is released and kernfs_destory_root() simply invokes kernfs_remove() on the root sd. sysfs_remove_one() is updated to handle release of the root sd. Note that ps_iattr update in sysfs_remove_one() is trivially updated for readability. * Root sd's are now dynamically allocated using sysfs_new_dirent(). Update sysfs_alloc_ino() so that it gives out ino from 1 so that the root sd still gets ino 1. * While kernfs currently only points to the root sd, it'll soon grow fields which are specific to each hierarchy. As determining a given sd's root will be necessary, sd->s_dir.root is added. This backlink fits better as a separate field in sd; however, sd->s_dir is inside union with space to spare, so use it to save space and provide kernfs_root() accessor to determine the root sd. * As hierarchies may be destroyed now, each mount needs to hold onto the hierarchy it's attached to. Update sysfs_fill_super() and sysfs_kill_sb() so that they get and put the kernfs_root respectively. * sysfs_root is replaced with kernfs_root which is dynamically created by invoking kernfs_create_root() from sysfs_init(). This patch doesn't introduce any visible behavior changes. v2: kernfs_create_root() forgot to set @sd->priv. Fixed.

2013-11-29sysfs, kernfs: introduce kernfs[_find_and]_get() and kernfs_put()Tejun Heo

While the conversions are mostly equivalent, there's one difference - kernfs_get() doesn't return the input param as its return value. This change is intentional. While passing through the input increases writability in some areas, it is unnecessary and has been shown to cause confusion regarding how the last ref is handled.

2013-11-29sysfs, kernfs: revamp sysfs_dirent active_ref lockdep annotationTejun Heo
Currently, sysfs_dirent active_ref lockdep annotation uses attribute->[s]key as the lockdep key, which forces kernfs_create_file_ns() to assume that sysfs_dirent->priv is pointing to a struct attribute which may not be true for non-sysfs users. This patch restructures the lockdep annotation such that * kernfs_ops contains lockdep_key which is used by default for files created kernfs_create_file_ns(). * kernfs_create_file_ns_key() is introduced which takes an extra @key argument. The created file will use the specified key for active_ref lockdep annotation. If NULL is specified, lockdep for the file is disabled. * sysfs_add_file_mode_ns() is updated to use kernfs_create_file_ns_key() with the appropriate key from the attribute or NULL if ignore_lockdep is set. This makes the lockdep annotation properly contained in kernfs while allowing sysfs to cleanly keep its current behavior. This patch doesn't introduce any behavior differences.

2013-11-29sysfs, kernfs: introduce kernfs_opsTejun Heo
We're in the process of separating out core sysfs functionality into kernfs which will deal with sysfs_dirents directly. This patch introduces kernfs_ops which hosts methods kernfs users implement and updates fs/sysfs/file.c such that sysfs_kf_*() functions populate kernfs_ops and kernfs_file_*() functions call the matching entries from kernfs_ops. kernfs_ops contains the following groups of methods. * seq_show() - for kernfs files which use seq_file for reads. * read() - for direct read implementations. Used iff seq_show() is not implemented. * write() - for writes. * mmap() - for mmaps. Notes: * sysfs_elem_attr->ops is added so that kernfs_ops can be accessed from sysfs_dirent. kernfs_ops() helper is added to verify locking and access the field. * SYSFS_FLAG_HAS_(SEQ_SHOW|MMAP) added. sd->s_attr->ops is accessible only while holding active_ref and there are cases where we want to take different actions depending on which ops are implemented. These two flags cache whether the two ops are implemented for those. * kernfs_file_*() no longer test sysfs type but chooses different behaviors depending on which methods in kernfs_ops are implemented. The conversions are trivial except for the open path. As kernfs_file_open() now decides whether to allow read/write accesses depending on the kernfs_ops implemented, the presence of methods in kobjs and attribute_bin should be propagated to kernfs_ops. sysfs_add_file_mode_ns() is updated so that it propagates presence / absence of the callbacks through _empty, _ro, _wo, _rw kernfs_ops.

2013-11-28genetlink/pmcraid: use proper genetlink multicast APIJohannes Berg
The pmcraid driver is abusing the genetlink API and is using its family ID as the multicast group ID, which is invalid and may belong to somebody else (and likely will.) Make it use the correct API, but since this may already be used as-is by userspace, reserve a family ID for this code and also reserve that group ID to not break userspace assumptions. My previous patch broke event delivery in the driver as I missed that it wasn't using the right API and forgot to update it later in my series. While changing this, I noticed that the genetlink code could use the static group ID instead of a strcmp(), so also do that for the VFS_DQUOT family.

2013-11-28efivars, efi-pstore: Hold off deletion of sysfs entry until the scan is ↵Seiji Aguchi
completed Currently, when mounting pstore file system, a read callback of efi_pstore driver runs mutiple times as below. - In the first read callback, scan efivar_sysfs_list from head and pass a kmsg buffer of a entry to an upper pstore layer. - In the second read callback, rescan efivar_sysfs_list from the entry and pass another kmsg buffer to it. - Repeat the scan and pass until the end of efivar_sysfs_list. In this process, an entry is read across the multiple read function calls. To avoid race between the read and erasion, the whole process above is protected by a spinlock, holding in open() and releasing in close(). At the same time, kmemdup() is called to pass the buffer to pstore filesystem during it. And then, it causes a following lockdep warning. To make the dynamic memory allocation runnable without taking spinlock, holding off a deletion of sysfs entry if it happens while scanning it via efi_pstore, and deleting it after the scan is completed. To implement it, this patch introduces two flags, scanning and deleting, to efivar_entry. On the code basis, it seems that all the scanning and deleting logic is not needed because __efivars->lock are not dropped when reading from the EFI variable store. But, the scanning and deleting logic is still needed because an efi-pstore and a pstore filesystem works as follows. In case an entry(A) is found, the pointer is saved to psi->data. And efi_pstore_read() passes the entry(A) to a pstore filesystem by releasing __efivars->lock. And then, the pstore filesystem calls efi_pstore_read() again and the same entry(A), which is saved to psi->data, is used for resuming to scan a sysfs-list. So, to protect the entry(A), the logic is needed.

2013-11-28crypto: scatterwalk - Set the chain pointer indication bitTom Lendacky
The scatterwalk_crypto_chain function invokes the scatterwalk_sg_chain function to chain two scatterlists, but the chain pointer indication bit is not set. When the resulting scatterlist is used, for example, by sg_nents to count the number of scatterlist entries, a segfault occurs because sg_nents does not follow the chain pointer to the chained scatterlist. Update scatterwalk_sg_chain to set the chain pointer indication bit as is done by the sg_chain function.

This patch adds cpufreq suspend/resume calls to dpm_{suspend|resume}_noirq() for handling suspend/resume of cpufreq governors. Lan Tianyu (Intel) & Jinhyuk Choi (Broadcom) found anr issue where tunables configuration for clusters/sockets with non-boot CPUs was getting lost after suspend/resume, as we were notifying governors with CPUFREQ_GOV_POLICY_EXIT on removal of the last cpu for that policy and so deallocating memory for tunables. This is fixed by this patch as we don't allow any operation on governors after device suspend and before device resume now.

2013-11-27sysfs, kernfs: introduce kernfs_setattr()Tejun Heo
Introduce kernfs setattr interface - kernfs_setattr(). sysfs_sd_setattr() is renamed to __kernfs_setattr() and kernfs_setattr() is a simple wrapper around it with sysfs_mutex locking. sysfs_chmod_file() is updated to get an explicit ref on kobj->sd and then invoke kernfs_setattr() so that it doesn't have to use internal interface.

2013-11-27sysfs: drop kobj_ns_type handling, take #2Tejun Heo
The way namespace tags are implemented in sysfs is more complicated than necessary. As each tag is a pointer value and required to be non-NULL under a namespace enabled parent, there's no need to record separately what type each tag is. If multiple namespace types are needed, which currently aren't, we can simply compare the tag to a set of allowed tags in the superblock assuming that the tags, being pointers, won't have the same value across multiple types. This patch rips out kobj_ns_type handling from sysfs. sysfs now has an enable switch to turn on namespace under a node. If enabled, all children are required to have non-NULL namespace tags and filtered against the super_block's tag. kobject namespace determination is now performed in lib/kobject.c::create_dir() making sysfs_read_ns_type() unnecessary. The sanity checks are also moved. create_dir() is restructured to ease such addition. This removes most kobject namespace knowledge from sysfs proper which will enable proper separation and layering of sysfs. This is the second try. The first one was cb26a311578e ("sysfs: drop kobj_ns_type handling") which tried to automatically enable namespace if there are children with non-NULL namespace tags; however, it was broken for symlinks as they should inherit the target's tag iff namespace is enabled in the parent. This led to namespace filtering enabled incorrectly for wireless net class devices through phy80211 symlinks and thus network configuration failure. a1212d278c05 ("Revert "sysfs: drop kobj_ns_type handling"") reverted the commit. This shouldn't introduce any behavior changes, for real. v2: Dummy implementation of sysfs_enable_ns() for !CONFIG_SYSFS was missing and caused build failure. Reported by kbuild test robot.

This patch adds a new field to the struct perf_event. It is intended to be used to chain events which are active (enabled). It helps in the hardware layer for PMUs which do not have actual counter restrictions, i.e., free running read-only counters. Active events are chained as opposed to being tracked via the counter they use. To save space we use a union with hlist_entry as both are mutually exclusive (suggested by Jiri Olsa).
