Pull non-MM updates from Andrew Morton:
- "hung_task: extend blocking task stacktrace dump to semaphore" from
Lance Yang enhances the hung task detector.
The detector presently dumps the blocking tasks's stack when it is
blocked on a mutex. Lance's series extends this to semaphores

- "Support kdump with LUKS encryption by reusing LUKS volume keys" from
Coiby Xu addresses a usability problem with kdump.
When the dump device is LUKS-encrypted, the kdump kernel may not have
the keys to the encrypted filesystem. A full writeup of this is in
the series [0/N] cover letter

Pull MM updates from Andrew Morton:
- "Add folio_mk_pte()" from Matthew Wilcox simplifies the act of
creating a pte which addresses the first page in a folio and reduces
the amount of plumbing which architecture must implement to provide
this.
- "Misc folio patches for 6.16" from Matthew Wilcox is a shower of
largely unrelated folio infrastructure changes which clean things up
and better prepare us for future work.
- "memory,x86,acpi: hotplug memory alignment advisement" from Gregory
Price adds early-init code to prevent x86 from leaving physical
memory unused when physical address regions are not aligned to memory
block size.
- "mm/compaction: allow more aggressive proactive compaction" from
Michal Clapinski provides some tuning of the (sadly, hard-coded (more
sadly, not auto-tuned)) thresholds for our invokation of proactive
compaction. In a simple test case, the reduction of a guest VM's
memory consumption was dramatic.
- "Minor cleanups and improvements to swap freeing code" from Kemeng
Shi provides some code cleaups and a small efficiency improvement to
this part of our swap handling code.
- "ptrace: introduce PTRACE_SET_SYSCALL_INFO API" from Dmitry Levin
adds the ability for a ptracer to modify syscalls arguments. At this
time we can alter only "system call information that are used by
strace system call tampering, namely, syscall number, syscall
arguments, and syscall return value.
This series should have been incorporated into mm.git's "non-MM"
branch, but I goofed.
- "fs/proc: extend the PAGEMAP_SCAN ioctl to report guard regions" from
Andrei Vagin extends the info returned by the PAGEMAP_SCAN ioctl
against /proc/pid/pagemap. This permits CRIU to more efficiently get
at the info about guard regions.
- "Fix parameter passed to page_mapcount_is_type()" from Gavin Shan
implements that fix. No runtime effect is expected because
validate_page_before_insert() happens to fix up this error.
- "kernel/events/uprobes: uprobe_write_opcode() rewrite" from David
Hildenbrand basically brings uprobe text poking into the current
decade. Remove a bunch of hand-rolled implementation in favor of
using more current facilities.
- "mm/ptdump: Drop assumption that pxd_val() is u64" from Anshuman
Khandual provides enhancements and generalizations to the pte dumping
code. This might be needed when 128-bit Page Table Descriptors are
enabled for ARM.
- "Always call constructor for kernel page tables" from Kevin Brodsky
ensures that the ctor/dtor is always called for kernel pgtables, as
it already is for user pgtables.
This permits the addition of more functionality such as "insert hooks
to protect page tables". This change does result in various
architectures performing unnecesary work, but this is fixed up where
it is anticipated to occur.
- "Rust support for mm_struct, vm_area_struct, and mmap" from Alice
Ryhl adds plumbing to permit Rust access to core MM structures.
- "fix incorrectly disallowed anonymous VMA merges" from Lorenzo
Stoakes takes advantage of some VMA merging opportunities which we've
been missing for 15 years.
- "mm/madvise: batch tlb flushes for MADV_DONTNEED and MADV_FREE" from
SeongJae Park optimizes process_madvise()'s TLB flushing.
Instead of flushing each address range in the provided iovec, we
batch the flushing across all the iovec entries. The syscall's cost
was approximately halved with a microbenchmark which was designed to
load this particular operation.
- "Track node vacancy to reduce worst case allocation counts" from
Sidhartha Kumar makes the maple tree smarter about its node
preallocation.
stress-ng mmap performance increased by single-digit percentages and
the amount of unnecessarily preallocated memory was dramaticelly
reduced.
- "mm/gup: Minor fix, cleanup and improvements" from Baoquan He removes
a few unnecessary things which Baoquan noted when reading the code.
- ""Enhance sysfs handling for memory hotplug in weighted interleave"
from Rakie Kim "enhances the weighted interleave policy in the memory
management subsystem by improving sysfs handling, fixing memory
leaks, and introducing dynamic sysfs updates for memory hotplug
support". Fixes things on error paths which we are unlikely to hit.
- "mm/damon: auto-tune DAMOS for NUMA setups including tiered memory"
from SeongJae Park introduces new DAMOS quota goal metrics which
eliminate the manual tuning which is required when utilizing DAMON
for memory tiering.
- "mm/vmalloc.c: code cleanup and improvements" from Baoquan He
provides cleanups and small efficiency improvements which Baoquan
found via code inspection.
- "vmscan: enforce mems_effective during demotion" from Gregory Price
changes reclaim to respect cpuset.mems_effective during demotion when
possible. because presently, reclaim explicitly ignores
cpuset.mems_effective when demoting, which may cause the cpuset
settings to violated.
This is useful for isolating workloads on a multi-tenant system from
certain classes of memory more consistently.
- "Clean up split_huge_pmd_locked() and remove unnecessary folio
pointers" from Gavin Guo provides minor cleanups and efficiency gains
in in the huge page splitting and migrating code.
- "Use kmem_cache for memcg alloc" from Huan Yang creates a slab cache
for `struct mem_cgroup', yielding improved memory utilization.
- "add max arg to swappiness in memory.reclaim and lru_gen" from
Zhongkun He adds a new "max" argument to the "swappiness=" argument
for memory.reclaim MGLRU's lru_gen.
This directs proactive reclaim to reclaim from only anon folios
rather than file-backed folios.
- "kexec: introduce Kexec HandOver (KHO)" from Mike Rapoport is the
first step on the path to permitting the kernel to maintain existing
VMs while replacing the host kernel via file-based kexec. At this
time only memblock's reserve_mem is preserved.
- "mm: Introduce for_each_valid_pfn()" from David Woodhouse provides
and uses a smarter way of looping over a pfn range. By skipping
ranges of invalid pfns.
- "sched/numa: Skip VMA scanning on memory pinned to one NUMA node via
cpuset.mems" from Libo Chen removes a lot of pointless VMA scanning
when a task is pinned a single NUMA mode.
Dramatic performance benefits were seen in some real world cases.
- "JFS: Implement migrate_folio for jfs_metapage_aops" from Shivank
Garg addresses a warning which occurs during memory compaction when
using JFS.
- "move all VMA allocation, freeing and duplication logic to mm" from
Lorenzo Stoakes moves some VMA code from kernel/fork.c into the more
appropriate mm/vma.c.
- "mm, swap: clean up swap cache mapping helper" from Kairui Song
provides code consolidation and cleanups related to the folio_index()
function.
- "mm/gup: Cleanup memfd_pin_folios()" from Vishal Moola does that.
- "memcg: Fix test_memcg_min/low test failures" from Waiman Long
addresses some bogus failures which are being reported by the
test_memcontrol selftest.
- "eliminate mmap() retry merge, add .mmap_prepare hook" from Lorenzo
Stoakes commences the deprecation of file_operations.mmap() in favor
of the new file_operations.mmap_prepare().
The latter is more restrictive and prevents drivers from messing with
things in ways which, amongst other problems, may defeat VMA merging.
- "memcg: decouple memcg and objcg stocks"" from Shakeel Butt decouples
the per-cpu memcg charge cache from the objcg's one.
This is a step along the way to making memcg and objcg charging
NMI-safe, which is a BPF requirement.
- "mm/damon: minor fixups and improvements for code, tests, and
documents" from SeongJae Park is yet another batch of miscellaneous
DAMON changes. Fix and improve minor problems in code, tests and
documents.
- "memcg: make memcg stats irq safe" from Shakeel Butt converts memcg
stats to be irq safe. Another step along the way to making memcg
charging and stats updates NMI-safe, a BPF requirement.
- "Let unmap_hugepage_range() and several related functions take folio
instead of page" from Fan Ni provides folio conversions in the
hugetlb code.

Pull automount updates from Al Viro:
"Automount wart removal
A bunch of odd boilerplate gone from instances - the reason for
those was the need to protect the yet-to-be-attched mount from
mark_mounts_for_expiry() deciding to take it out.
But that's easy to detect and take care of in mark_mounts_for_expiry()
itself; no need to have every instance simulate mount being busy by
grabbing an extra reference to it, with finish_automount() undoing
that once it attaches that mount.
Should've done it that way from the very beginning... This is a
flagday change, thankfully there are very few instances.
vfs_submount() is gone - its sole remaining user (trace_automount)
had been switched to saner primitives"

Pull mount propagation fix from Al Viro:
"6.15 allowed mount propagation to destinations in detached trees;
unfortunately, that breaks existing userland, so the old behaviour
needs to be restored.
It's not exactly a revert - the original behaviour had a bug, where
existence of detached tree might disrupt propagation between locations
not in detached trees. Thankfully, userland did not depend upon that
bug, so we want to keep the fix"
* tag 'pull-fixes' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/viro/vfs:

Pull driver core updates from Greg KH:
"Here are the driver core / kernfs changes for 6.16-rc1.
Not a huge number of changes this development cycle, here's the
summary of what is included in here:
- kernfs locking tweaks, pushing some global locks down into a per-fs
image lock
- rust driver core and pci device bindings added for new features.
- sysfs const work for bin_attributes.
The final churn of switching away from and removing the
transitional struct members, "read_new", "write_new" and
"bin_attrs_new" will come after the merge window to avoid
unnecesary merge conflicts.
- auxbus device creation helpers added
- fauxbus fix for creating sysfs files after the probe completed
properly
- other tiny updates for driver core things.
All of these have been in linux-next for over a week with no reported
issues"

git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/netdev/net-next
Pull networking updates from Paolo Abeni:
"Core:
- Implement the Device Memory TCP transmit path, allowing zero-copy
data transmission on top of TCP from e.g. GPU memory to the wire.
- Move all the IPv6 routing tables management outside the RTNL scope,
under its own lock and RCU. The route control path is now 3x times
faster.
- Convert queue related netlink ops to instance lock, reducing again
the scope of the RTNL lock. This improves the control plane
scalability.
- Refactor the software crc32c implementation, removing unneeded
abstraction layers and improving significantly the related
micro-benchmarks.
- Optimize the GRO engine for UDP-tunneled traffic, for a 10%
performance improvement in related stream tests.
- Cover more per-CPU storage with local nested BH locking; this is a
prep work to remove the current per-CPU lock in local_bh_disable()
on PREMPT_RT.
- Introduce and use nlmsg_payload helper, combining buffer bounds
verification with accessing payload carried by netlink messages.
Netfilter:
- Rewrite the procfs conntrack table implementation, improving
considerably the dump performance. A lot of user-space tools still
use this interface.
- Implement support for wildcard netdevice in netdev basechain and
flowtables.
- Integrate conntrack information into nft trace infrastructure.
- Export set count and backend name to userspace, for better
introspection.
BPF:
- BPF qdisc support: BPF-qdisc can be implemented with BPF struct_ops
programs and can be controlled in similar way to traditional qdiscs
using the "tc qdisc" command.
- Refactor the UDP socket iterator, addressing long standing issues
WRT duplicate hits or missed sockets.
Protocols:
- Improve TCP receive buffer auto-tuning and increase the default
upper bound for the receive buffer; overall this improves the
single flow maximum thoughput on 200Gbs link by over 60%.
- Add AFS GSSAPI security class to AF_RXRPC; it provides transport
security for connections to the AFS fileserver and VL server.
- Improve TCP multipath routing, so that the sources address always
matches the nexthop device.
- Introduce SO_PASSRIGHTS for AF_UNIX, to allow disabling SCM_RIGHTS,
and thus preventing DoS caused by passing around problematic FDs.
- Retire DCCP socket. DCCP only receives updates for bugs, and major
distros disable it by default. Its removal allows for better
organisation of TCP fields to reduce the number of cache lines hit
in the fast path.
- Extend TCP drop-reason support to cover PAWS checks.
Driver API:
- Reorganize PTP ioctl flag support to require an explicit opt-in for
the drivers, avoiding the problem of drivers not rejecting new
unsupported flags.
- Converted several device drivers to timestamping APIs.
- Introduce per-PHY ethtool dump helpers, improving the support for
dump operations targeting PHYs.
Tests and tooling:
- Add support for classic netlink in user space C codegen, so that
ynl-c can now read, create and modify links, routes addresses and
qdisc layer configuration.
- Add ynl sub-types for binary attributes, allowing ynl-c to output
known struct instead of raw binary data, clarifying the classic
netlink output.
- Extend MPTCP selftests to improve the code-coverage.
- Add tests for XDP tail adjustment in AF_XDP.
New hardware / drivers:
- OpenVPN virtual driver: offload OpenVPN data channels processing to
the kernel-space, increasing the data transfer throughput WRT the
user-space implementation.
- Renesas glue driver for the gigabit ethernet RZ/V2H(P) SoC.
- Broadcom asp-v3.0 ethernet driver.

Pull nfsd updates from Chuck Lever:
"The marquee feature for this release is that the limit on the maximum
rsize and wsize has been raised to 4MB. The default remains at 1MB,
but risk-seeking administrators now have the ability to try larger I/O
sizes with NFS clients that support them. Eventually the default
setting will be increased when we have confidence that this change
will not have negative impact.
With v6.16, NFSD now has its own debugfs file system where we can add
experimental features and make them available outside of our
development community without impacting production deployments. The
first experimental setting added is one that makes all NFS READ
operations use vfs_iter_read() instead of the NFSD splice actor. The
plan is to eventually retire the splice actor, as that will enable a
number of new capabilities such as the use of struct bio_vec from the
top to the bottom of the NFSD stack.
Jeff Layton contributed a number of observability improvements. The
use of dprintk() in a number of high-traffic code paths has been
replaced with static trace points.
This release sees the continuation of efforts to harden the NFSv4.2
COPY operation. Soon, the restriction on async COPY operations can be
lifted.
Many thanks to the contributors, reviewers, testers, and bug reporters
who participated during the v6.16 development cycle"

The root cause is after commit 84b5bb8bf0f6 ("f2fs: modify
f2fs_is_checkpoint_ready logic to allow more data to be written with the
CP disable"), we will get chance to allow f2fs_is_checkpoint_ready() to
return true once below conditions are all true:
1. checkpoint is disabled
2. there are not enough free segments
3. there are enough free blocks
Then it will cause f2fs_balance_fs() to trigger foreground GC.
void f2fs_balance_fs(struct f2fs_sb_info *sbi, bool need)
...
if (!f2fs_is_checkpoint_ready(sbi))
return;
And the testcase mounts f2fs image w/ gc_merge,checkpoint=disable, so deadloop
will happen through below race condition:
- f2fs_do_shutdown - vfs_fallocate - gc_thread_func
- file_start_write
- __sb_start_write(SB_FREEZE_WRITE)
- f2fs_fallocate
- f2fs_expand_inode_data
- f2fs_map_blocks
- f2fs_balance_fs
- prepare_to_wait
- wake_up(gc_wait_queue_head)
- io_schedule
- bdev_freeze
- freeze_super
- sb->s_writers.frozen = SB_FREEZE_WRITE;
- sb_wait_write(sb, SB_FREEZE_WRITE);
- if (sbi->sb->s_writers.frozen >= SB_FREEZE_WRITE) continue;
: cause deadloop
This patch fix to add check condition in f2fs_balance_fs(), so that if
checkpoint is disabled, we will just skip trigger foreground GC to
avoid such deadloop issue.
Meanwhile let's remove f2fs_is_checkpoint_ready() check condition in
f2fs_balance_fs(), since it's redundant, due to the main logic in the
function is to check:
a) whether checkpoint is disabled
b) there is enough free segments
f2fs_balance_fs() still has all logics after f2fs_is_checkpoint_ready()'s
removal.

when performing buffered writes in a large section,
overhead is incurred due to the iteration through
ckpt_valid_blocks within the section.
when SEGS_PER_SEC is 128, this overhead accounts for 20% within
the f2fs_write_single_data_page routine.
as the size of the section increases, the overhead also grows.
to handle this problem ckpt_valid_blocks is
added within the section entries.

The commit 93e72b3c612adcaca1 ("squashfs: migrate from ll_rw_block usage
to BIO") removed caching of compressed blocks in SquashFS, causing fio
performance regression in workloads with repeated file reads. Without
caching, every read triggers disk I/O, severely impacting performance in
tools like fio.
This patch introduces a new CONFIG_SQUASHFS_COMP_CACHE_FULL Kconfig option
to enable caching of all compressed blocks, restoring performance to
pre-BIO migration levels. When enabled, all pages in a BIO are cached in
the page cache, reducing disk I/O for repeated reads. The fio test
results with this patch confirm the performance restoration:
For example, fio tests (iodepth=1, numjobs=1,
ioengine=psync) show a notable performance restoration:
Disable CONFIG_SQUASHFS_COMP_CACHE_FULL:
IOPS=815, BW=102MiB/s (107MB/s)(6113MiB/60001msec)
Enable CONFIG_SQUASHFS_COMP_CACHE_FULL:
IOPS=2223, BW=278MiB/s (291MB/s)(16.3GiB/59999msec)
The tradeoff is increased memory usage due to caching all compressed
blocks. The CONFIG_SQUASHFS_COMP_CACHE_FULL option allows users to enable
this feature selectively, balancing performance and memory usage for
workloads with frequent repeated reads.

Configfs can be configured as a loadable module, which causes a link-time
failure for dm-crypt crash dump support:
crash_dump_dm_crypt.c:(.text+0x3a4): undefined reference to `config_item_init_type_name'
aarch64-linux-ld: kernel/crash_dump_dm_crypt.o: in function `configfs_dmcrypt_keys_init':
crash_dump_dm_crypt.c:(.init.text+0x90): undefined reference to `config_group_init'
aarch64-linux-ld: crash_dump_dm_crypt.c:(.init.text+0xb4): undefined reference to `configfs_register_subsystem'
aarch64-linux-ld: crash_dump_dm_crypt.c:(.init.text+0xd8): undefined reference to `configfs_unregister_subsystem'
This could be avoided with a dependency on CONFIGFS_FS=y, but the
dependency has an additional problem of causing Kconfig dependency loops
since most other uses select the symbol.
Using a simple 'select CONFIGFS_FS' here in turn fails with
CONFIG_DM_CRYPT=m, because that still only causes configfs to be a
loadable module.
The only version I found that fixes this reliably uses an additional
Kconfig symbol to ensure the 'select' actually turns on configfs as
builtin, with two additional changes to avoid dependency loops with nvme
and sysfs.
There is no compile-time dependency between configfs and sysfs, so
selecting configfs from a driver with sysfs disabled does not cause link
failures, only the default /sys/kernel/config mount point will not be
created.

All versions up to 6.14 did not propagate mount events into detached
tree. Shortly after 6.14 a merge of vfs-6.15-rc1.mount.namespace
(130e696aa68b) has changed that.
Unfortunately, that has caused userland regressions (reported in
https://lore.kernel.org/all/CAOYeF9WQhFDe+BGW=Dp5fK8oRy5AgZ6zokVyTj1Wp4EUiYgt4w@mail.gmail.com/)
Straight revert wouldn't be an option - in particular, the variant in 6.14
had a bug that got fixed in d1ddc6f1d9f0 ("fix IS_MNT_PROPAGATING uses")
and we don't want to bring the bug back.
This is a modification of manual revert posted by Christian, with changes
needed to avoid reintroducing the breakage in scenario described in

Pull fscrypt update from Eric Biggers:
"Add support for 'hardware-wrapped inline encryption keys' to fscrypt.
When enabled on supported platforms, this feature protects file
contents keys from certain attacks, such as cold boot attacks.
This feature uses the block layer support for wrapped keys which was
merged in 6.15. Wrapped key support has existed out-of-tree in Android
for a long time, and it's finally ready for upstream now that there is
a platform on which it works end-to-end with upstream.
Specifically, it works on the Qualcomm SM8650 HDK, using the Qualcomm
ICE (Inline Crypto Engine) and HWKM (Hardware Key Manager). The
corresponding driver support is included in the SCSI tree for 6.16.
Validation for this feature includes two new tests that were already
merged into xfstests (generic/368 and generic/369)"

Pull bcachefs updates from Kent Overstreet:
- Poisoned extents can now be moved: this lets us handle bitrotted data
without deleting it. For now, reading from poisoned extents only
returns -EIO: in the future we'll have an API for specifying "read
this data even if there were bitflips".
- Incompatible features may now be enabled at runtime, via
"opts/version_upgrade" in sysfs. Toggle it to incompatible, and then
toggle it back - option changes via the sysfs interface are
persistent.
- Various changes to support deployable disk images:
- RO mounts now use less memory
- Images may be stripped of alloc info, particularly useful for
slimming them down if they will primarily be mounted RO. Alloc
info will be automatically regenerated on first RW mount, and
this is quite fast
- Filesystem images generated with 'bcachefs image' will be
automatically resized the first time they're mounted on a larger
device
The images 'bcachefs image' generates with compression enabled have
been comparable in size to those generated by squashfs and erofs -
but you get a full RW capable filesystem
- Major error message improvements for btree node reads, data reads,
and elsewhere. We now build up a single error message that lists all
the errors encountered, actions taken to repair, and success/failure
of the IO. This extends to other error paths that may kick off other
actions, e.g. scheduling recovery passes: actions we took because of
an error are included in that error message, with
grouping/indentation so we can see what caused what.
- New option, 'rebalance_on_ac_only'. Does exactly what the name
suggests, quite handy with background compression.
- Repair/self healing:
- We can now kick off recovery passes and run them in the
background if we detect errors. Currently, this is just used by
code that walks backpointers. We now also check for missing
backpointers at runtime and run check_extents_to_backpointers if
required. The messy 6.14 upgrade left missing backpointers for
some users, and this will correct that automatically instead of
requiring a manual fsck - some users noticed this as copygc
spinning and not making progress.
In the future, as more recovery passes come online, we'll be able
to repair and recover from nearly anything - except for
unreadable btree nodes, and that's why you're using replication,
of course - without shutting down the filesystem.
- There's a new recovery pass, for checking the rebalance_work
btree, which tracks extents that rebalance will process later.
- Hardening:
- Close the last known hole in btree iterator/btree locking
assertions: path->should_be_locked paths must stay locked until
the end of the transaction. This shook out a few bugs, including
a performance issue that was causing unnecessary path_upgrade
transaction restarts.
- Performance:
- Faster snapshot deletion: this is an incompatible feature, as it
requires new sentinal values, for safety. Snapshot deletion no
longer has to do a full metadata scan, it now just scans the
inodes btree: if an extent/dirent/xattr is present for a given
snapshot ID, we already require that an inode be present with
that same snapshot ID.
If/when users hit scalability limits again (ridiculously huge
filesystems with lots of inodes, and many sparse snapshots), let
me know - the next step will be to add an index from snapshot ID
-> inode number, which won't be too hard.
- Faster device removal: the "scan for pointers to this device" no
longer does a full metadata scan, instead it walks backpointers.
Like fast snapshot deletion this is another incompat feature: it
also requires a new sentinal value, because we don't want to
reuse these device IDs until after a fsck.
- We're now coalescing redundant accounting updates prior to
transaction commit, taking some pressure off the journal. Shortly
we'll also be doing multiple extent updates in a transaction in
the main write path, which combined with the previous should
drastically cut down on the amount of metadata updates we have to
journal.
- Stack usage improvements: All allocator state has been moved off the
stack
- Debug improvements:
- enumerated refcounts: The debug code previously used for
filesystem write refs is now a small library, and used for other
heavily used refcounts. Different users of a refcount are
enumerated, making it much easier to debug refcount issues.
- Async object debugging: There's a new kconfig option that makes
various async objects (different types of bios, data updates,
write ops, etc.) visible in debugfs, and it should be fast enough
to leave on in production.
- Various sets of assertions no longer require
CONFIG_BCACHEFS_DEBUG, instead they're controlled by module
parameters and static keys, meaning users won't need to compile
custom kernels as often to help debug issues.
- bch2_trans_kmalloc() calls can be tracked (there's a new kconfig
option). With it on you can check the btree_transaction_stats in
debugfs to see the bch2_trans_kmalloc() calls a transaction did
when it used the most memory.

Pull coredump updates from Christian Brauner:
"This adds support for sending coredumps over an AF_UNIX socket. It
also makes (implicit) use of the new SO_PEERPIDFD ability to hand out
pidfds for reaped peer tasks
The new coredump socket will allow userspace to not have to rely on
usermode helpers for processing coredumps and provides a saf way to
handle them instead of relying on super privileged coredumping helpers
This will also be significantly more lightweight since the kernel
doens't have to do a fork()+exec() for each crashing process to spawn
a usermodehelper. Instead the kernel just connects to the AF_UNIX
socket and userspace can process it concurrently however it sees fit.
Support for userspace is incoming starting with systemd-coredump
There's more work coming in that direction next cycle. The rest below
goes into some details and background
Coredumping currently supports two modes:
(1) Dumping directly into a file somewhere on the filesystem.
(2) Dumping into a pipe connected to a usermode helper process
spawned as a child of the system_unbound_wq or kthreadd
For simplicity I'm mostly ignoring (1). There's probably still some
users of (1) out there but processing coredumps in this way can be
considered adventurous especially in the face of set*id binaries
The most common option should be (2) by now. It works by allowing
userspace to put a string into /proc/sys/kernel/core_pattern like:
|/usr/lib/systemd/systemd-coredump %P %u %g %s %t %c %h
The "|" at the beginning indicates to the kernel that a pipe must be
used. The path following the pipe indicator is a path to a binary that
will be spawned as a usermode helper process. Any additional
parameters pass information about the task that is generating the
coredump to the binary that processes the coredump
In the example the core_pattern shown causes the kernel to spawn
systemd-coredump as a usermode helper. There's various conceptual
consequences of this (non-exhaustive list):
- systemd-coredump is spawned with file descriptor number 0 (stdin)
connected to the read-end of the pipe. All other file descriptors
are closed. That specifically includes 1 (stdout) and 2 (stderr).
This has already caused bugs because userspace assumed that this
cannot happen (Whether or not this is a sane assumption is
irrelevant)
- systemd-coredump will be spawned as a child of system_unbound_wq.
So it is not a child of any userspace process and specifically not
a child of PID 1. It cannot be waited upon and is in a weird hybrid
upcall which are difficult for userspace to control correctly
- systemd-coredump is spawned with full kernel privileges. This
necessitates all kinds of weird privilege dropping excercises in
userspace to make this safe
- A new usermode helper has to be spawned for each crashing process
This adds a new mode:
(3) Dumping into an AF_UNIX socket
Userspace can set /proc/sys/kernel/core_pattern to:
@/path/to/coredump.socket
The "@" at the beginning indicates to the kernel that an AF_UNIX
coredump socket will be used to process coredumps
The coredump socket must be located in the initial mount namespace.
When a task coredumps it opens a client socket in the initial network
namespace and connects to the coredump socket:
- The coredump server uses SO_PEERPIDFD to get a stable handle on the
connected crashing task. The retrieved pidfd will provide a stable
reference even if the crashing task gets SIGKILLed while generating
the coredump. That is a huge attack vector right now
- By setting core_pipe_limit non-zero userspace can guarantee that
the crashing task cannot be reaped behind it's back and thus
process all necessary information in /proc/<pid>. The SO_PEERPIDFD
can be used to detect whether /proc/<pid> still refers to the same
process
The core_pipe_limit isn't used to rate-limit connections to the
socket. This can simply be done via AF_UNIX socket directly
- The pidfd for the crashing task will contain information how the
task coredumps. The PIDFD_GET_INFO ioctl gained a new flag
PIDFD_INFO_COREDUMP which can be used to retreive the coredump
information
If the coredump gets a new coredump client connection the kernel
guarantees that PIDFD_INFO_COREDUMP information is available.
Currently the following information is provided in the new
@coredump_mask extension to struct pidfd_info:
* PIDFD_COREDUMPED is raised if the task did actually coredump
* PIDFD_COREDUMP_SKIP is raised if the task skipped coredumping
(e.g., undumpable)
* PIDFD_COREDUMP_USER is raised if this is a regular coredump and
doesn't need special care by the coredump server
* PIDFD_COREDUMP_ROOT is raised if the generated coredump should
be treated as sensitive and the coredump server should restrict
access to the generated coredump to sufficiently privileged
users"

Pull pidfs updates from Christian Brauner:
"Features:
- Allow handing out pidfds for reaped tasks for AF_UNIX SO_PEERPIDFD
socket option
SO_PEERPIDFD is a socket option that allows to retrieve a pidfd for
the process that called connect() or listen(). This is heavily used
to safely authenticate clients in userspace avoiding security bugs
due to pid recycling races (dbus, polkit, systemd, etc.)
SO_PEERPIDFD currently doesn't support handing out pidfds if the
sk->sk_peer_pid thread-group leader has already been reaped. In
this case it currently returns EINVAL. Userspace still wants to get
a pidfd for a reaped process to have a stable handle it can pass
on. This is especially useful now that it is possible to retrieve
exit information through a pidfd via the PIDFD_GET_INFO ioctl()'s
PIDFD_INFO_EXIT flag

In order to allow handing out reaped pidfd SO_PEERPIDFD needs to
ensure that PIDFD_INFO_EXIT information is available whenever a
pidfd for a reaped task is created by PIDFD_INFO_EXIT. The uapi
promises that reaped pidfds are only handed out if it is guaranteed
that the caller sees the exit information:
TEST_F(pidfd_info, success_reaped)
{
struct pidfd_info info = {
.mask = PIDFD_INFO_CGROUPID | PIDFD_INFO_EXIT,
};
/*
* Process has already been reaped and PIDFD_INFO_EXIT been set.
* Verify that we can retrieve the exit status of the process.
*/
ASSERT_EQ(ioctl(self->child_pidfd4, PIDFD_GET_INFO, &info), 0);
ASSERT_FALSE(!!(info.mask & PIDFD_INFO_CREDS));
ASSERT_TRUE(!!(info.mask & PIDFD_INFO_EXIT));
ASSERT_TRUE(WIFEXITED(info.exit_code));
ASSERT_EQ(WEXITSTATUS(info.exit_code), 0);
}
To hand out pidfds for reaped processes we thus allocate a pidfs
entry for the relevant sk->sk_peer_pid at the time the
sk->sk_peer_pid is stashed and drop it when the socket is
destroyed. This guarantees that exit information will always be
recorded for the sk->sk_peer_pid task and we can hand out pidfds
for reaped processes
- Hand a pidfd to the coredump usermode helper process
Give userspace a way to instruct the kernel to install a pidfd for
the crashing process into the process started as a usermode helper.
There's still tricky race-windows that cannot be easily or
sometimes not closed at all by userspace. There's various ways like
looking at the start time of a process to make sure that the
usermode helper process is started after the crashing process but
it's all very very brittle and fraught with peril
The crashed-but-not-reaped process can be killed by userspace
before coredump processing programs like systemd-coredump have had
time to manually open a PIDFD from the PID the kernel provides
them, which means they can be tricked into reading from an
arbitrary process, and they run with full privileges as they are
usermode helper processes
Even if that specific race-window wouldn't exist it's still the
safest and cleanest way to let the kernel provide the pidfd
directly instead of requiring userspace to do it manually. In
parallel with this commit we already have systemd adding support
for this in [1]
When the usermode helper process is forked we install a pidfd file
descriptor three into the usermode helper's file descriptor table
so it's available to the exec'd program
Since usermode helpers are either children of the system_unbound_wq
workqueue or kthreadd we know that the file descriptor table is
empty and can thus always use three as the file descriptor number
Note, that we'll install a pidfd for the thread-group leader even
if a subthread is calling do_coredump(). We know that task linkage
hasn't been removed yet and even if this @current isn't the actual
thread-group leader we know that the thread-group leader cannot be
reaped until
@current has exited
- Allow telling when a task has not been found from finding the wrong
task when creating a pidfd
We currently report EINVAL whenever a struct pid has no tasked
attached anymore thereby conflating two concepts:
(1) The task has already been reaped
(2) The caller requested a pidfd for a thread-group leader but the
pid actually references a struct pid that isn't used as a
thread-group leader
This is causing issues for non-threaded workloads as in where they
expect ESRCH to be reported, not EINVAL
So allow userspace to reliably distinguish between (1) and (2)
- Make it possible to detect when a pidfs entry would outlive the
struct pid it pinned
- Add a range of new selftests
Cleanups:
- Remove unneeded NULL check from pidfd_prepare() for passed struct
pid
- Avoid pointless reference count bump during release_task()
Fixes:
- Various fixes to the pidfd and coredump selftests
- Fix error handling for replace_fd() when spawning coredump usermode
helper"

Pull vfs freezing updates from Christian Brauner:
"This contains various filesystem freezing related work for this cycle:
- Allow the power subsystem to support filesystem freeze for suspend
and hibernate.
Now all the pieces are in place to actually allow the power
subsystem to freeze/thaw filesystems during suspend/resume.
Filesystems are only frozen and thawed if the power subsystem does
actually own the freeze.
If the filesystem is already frozen by the time we've frozen all
userspace processes we don't care to freeze it again. That's
userspace's job once the process resumes. We only actually freeze
filesystems if we absolutely have to and we ignore other failures
to freeze.
We could bubble up errors and fail suspend/resume if the error
isn't EBUSY (aka it's already frozen) but I don't think that this
is worth it. Filesystem freezing during suspend/resume is
best-effort. If the user has 500 ext4 filesystems mounted and 4
fail to freeze for whatever reason then we simply skip them.
What we have now is already a big improvement and let's see how we
fare with it before making our lives even harder (and uglier) than
we have to.
- Allow efivars to support freeze and thaw
Allow efivarfs to partake to resync variable state during system
hibernation and suspend. Add freeze/thaw support.
This is a pretty straightforward implementation. We simply add
regular freeze/thaw support for both userspace and the kernel.
efivars is the first pseudofilesystem that adds support for
filesystem freezing and thawing.
The simplicity comes from the fact that we simply always resync
variable state after efivarfs has been frozen. It doesn't matter
whether that's because of suspend, userspace initiated freeze or
hibernation. Efivars is simple enough that it doesn't matter that
we walk all dentries. There are no directories and there aren't
insane amounts of entries and both freeze/thaw are already
heavy-handed operations. If userspace initiated a freeze/thaw cycle
they would need CAP_SYS_ADMIN in the initial user namespace (as
that's where efivarfs is mounted) so it can't be triggered by
random userspace. IOW, we really really don't care"
