2018-02-05membarrier: Provide core serializing command, *_SYNC_COREMathieu Desnoyers
Provide core serializing membarrier command to support memory reclaim by JIT. Each architecture needs to explicitly opt into that support by documenting in their architecture code how they provide the core serializing instructions required when returning from the membarrier IPI, and after the scheduler has updated the curr->mm pointer (before going back to user-space). They should then select ARCH_HAS_MEMBARRIER_SYNC_CORE to enable support for that command on their architecture. Architectures selecting this feature need to either document that they issue core serializing instructions when returning to user-space, or implement their architecture-specific sync_core_before_usermode().

2018-02-05membarrier: Provide GLOBAL_EXPEDITED commandMathieu Desnoyers
Allow expedited membarrier to be used for data shared between processes through shared memory. Processes wishing to receive the membarriers register with MEMBARRIER_CMD_REGISTER_GLOBAL_EXPEDITED. Those which want to issue membarrier invoke MEMBARRIER_CMD_GLOBAL_EXPEDITED. This allows extremely simple kernel-level implementation: we have almost everything we need with the PRIVATE_EXPEDITED barrier code. All we need to do is to add a flag in the mm_struct that will be used to check whether we need to send the IPI to the current thread of each CPU. There is a slight downside to this approach compared to targeting specific shared memory users: when performing a membarrier operation, all registered "global" receivers will get the barrier, even if they don't share a memory mapping with the sender issuing MEMBARRIER_CMD_GLOBAL_EXPEDITED. This registration approach seems to fit the requirement of not disturbing processes that really deeply care about real-time: they simply should not register with MEMBARRIER_CMD_REGISTER_GLOBAL_EXPEDITED. In order to align the membarrier command names, the "MEMBARRIER_CMD_SHARED" command is renamed to "MEMBARRIER_CMD_GLOBAL", keeping an alias of MEMBARRIER_CMD_SHARED to MEMBARRIER_CMD_GLOBAL for UAPI header backward compatibility.

2018-02-05membarrier: Document scheduler barrier requirementsMathieu Desnoyers
Document the membarrier requirement on having a full memory barrier in __schedule() after coming from user-space, before storing to rq->curr. It is provided by smp_mb__after_spinlock() in __schedule(). Document that membarrier requires a full barrier on transition from kernel thread to userspace thread. We currently have an implicit barrier from atomic_dec_and_test() in mmdrop() that ensures this. The x86 switch_mm_irqs_off() full barrier is currently provided by many cpumask update operations as well as write_cr3(). Document that write_cr3() provides this barrier.

2018-02-05powerpc, membarrier: Skip memory barrier in switch_mm()Mathieu Desnoyers
Allow PowerPC to skip the full memory barrier in switch_mm(), and only issue the barrier when scheduling into a task belonging to a process that has registered to use expedited private. Threads targeting the same VM but which belong to different thread groups is a tricky case. It has a few consequences: It turns out that we cannot rely on get_nr_threads(p) to count the number of threads using a VM. We can use (atomic_read(&mm->mm_users) == 1 && get_nr_threads(p) == 1) instead to skip the synchronize_sched() for cases where the VM only has a single user, and that user only has a single thread. It also turns out that we cannot use for_each_thread() to set thread flags in all threads using a VM, as it only iterates on the thread group. Therefore, test the membarrier state variable directly rather than relying on thread flags. This means membarrier_register_private_expedited() needs to set the MEMBARRIER_STATE_PRIVATE_EXPEDITED flag, issue synchronize_sched(), and only then set MEMBARRIER_STATE_PRIVATE_EXPEDITED_READY which allows private expedited membarrier commands to succeed. membarrier_arch_switch_mm() now tests for the MEMBARRIER_STATE_PRIVATE_EXPEDITED flag.

2018-02-03Merge tag 'usercopy-v4.16-rc1' of ↵Linus Torvalds
git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/kees/linux Pull hardened usercopy whitelisting from Kees Cook: "Currently, hardened usercopy performs dynamic bounds checking on slab cache objects. This is good, but still leaves a lot of kernel memory available to be copied to/from userspace in the face of bugs. To further restrict what memory is available for copying, this creates a way to whitelist specific areas of a given slab cache object for copying to/from userspace, allowing much finer granularity of access control. Slab caches that are never exposed to userspace can declare no whitelist for their objects, thereby keeping them unavailable to userspace via dynamic copy operations. (Note, an implicit form of whitelisting is the use of constant sizes in usercopy operations and get_user()/put_user(); these bypass all hardened usercopy checks since these sizes cannot change at runtime.) This new check is WARN-by-default, so any mistakes can be found over the next several releases without breaking anyone's system. The series has roughly the following sections: - remove %p and improve reporting with offset - prepare infrastructure and whitelist kmalloc - update VFS subsystem with whitelists - update SCSI subsystem with whitelists - update network subsystem with whitelists - update process memory with whitelists - update per-architecture thread_struct with whitelists - update KVM with whitelists and fix ioctl bug - mark all other allocations as not whitelisted - update lkdtm for more sensible test overage" * tag 'usercopy-v4.16-rc1' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/kees/linux: (38 commits) lkdtm: Update usercopy tests for whitelisting usercopy: Restrict non-usercopy caches to size 0 kvm: x86: fix KVM_XEN_HVM_CONFIG ioctl kvm: whitelist struct kvm_vcpu_arch arm: Implement thread_struct whitelist for hardened usercopy arm64: Implement thread_struct whitelist for hardened usercopy x86: Implement thread_struct whitelist for hardened usercopy fork: Provide usercopy whitelisting for task_struct fork: Define usercopy region in thread_stack slab caches fork: Define usercopy region in mm_struct slab caches net: Restrict unwhitelisted proto caches to size 0 sctp: Copy struct sctp_sock.autoclose to userspace using put_user() sctp: Define usercopy region in SCTP proto slab cache caif: Define usercopy region in caif proto slab cache ip: Define usercopy region in IP proto slab cache net: Define usercopy region in struct proto slab cache scsi: Define usercopy region in scsi_sense_cache slab cache cifs: Define usercopy region in cifs_request slab cache vxfs: Define usercopy region in vxfs_inode slab cache ufs: Define usercopy region in ufs_inode_cache slab cache ...

2018-01-30Merge branch 'siginfo-linus' of ↵Linus Torvalds
git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/ebiederm/user-namespace Pull siginfo cleanups from Eric Biederman: "Long ago when 2.4 was just a testing release copy_siginfo_to_user was made to copy individual fields to userspace, possibly for efficiency and to ensure initialized values were not copied to userspace. Unfortunately the design was complex, it's assumptions unstated, and humans are fallible and so while it worked much of the time that design failed to ensure unitialized memory is not copied to userspace. This set of changes is part of a new design to clean up siginfo and simplify things, and hopefully make the siginfo handling robust enough that a simple inspection of the code can be made to ensure we don't copy any unitializied fields to userspace. The design is to unify struct siginfo and struct compat_siginfo into a single definition that is shared between all architectures so that anyone adding to the set of information shared with struct siginfo can see the whole picture. Hopefully ensuring all future si_code assignments are arch independent. The design is to unify copy_siginfo_to_user32 and copy_siginfo_from_user32 so that those function are complete and cope with all of the different cases documented in signinfo_layout. I don't think there was a single implementation of either of those functions that was complete and correct before my changes unified them. The design is to introduce a series of helpers including force_siginfo_fault that take the values that are needed in struct siginfo and build the siginfo structure for their callers. Ensuring struct siginfo is built correctly. The remaining work for 4.17 (unless someone thinks it is post -rc1 material) is to push usage of those helpers down into the architectures so that architecture specific code will not need to deal with the fiddly work of intializing struct siginfo, and then when struct siginfo is guaranteed to be fully initialized change copy siginfo_to_user into a simple wrapper around copy_to_user. Further there is work in progress on the issues that have been documented requires arch specific knowledge to sort out. The changes below fix or at least document all of the issues that have been found with siginfo generation. Then proceed to unify struct siginfo the 32 bit helpers that copy siginfo to and from userspace, and generally clean up anything that is not arch specific with regards to siginfo generation.

2018-01-22signal/ptrace: Add force_sig_ptrace_errno_trap and use it where neededEric W. Biederman
There are so many places that build struct siginfo by hand that at least one of them is bound to get it wrong. A handful of cases in the kernel arguably did just that when using the errno field of siginfo to pass no errno values to userspace. The usage is limited to a single si_code so at least does not mess up anything else. Encapsulate this questionable pattern in a helper function so that the userspace ABI is preserved. Update all of the places that use this pattern to use the new helper function. Signed-off-by: "Eric W. Biederman" <ebiederm@xmission.com>
2018-01-22signal: Helpers for faults with specialized siginfo layoutsEric W. Biederman
The helpers added are: send_sig_mceerr force_sig_mceerr force_sig_bnderr force_sig_pkuerr Filling out siginfo properly can ge tricky. Especially for these specialized cases where the temptation is to share code with other cases which use a different subset of siginfo fields. Unfortunately that code sharing frequently results in bugs with the wrong siginfo fields filled in, and makes it harder to verify that the siginfo structure was properly initialized. Provide these helpers instead that get all of the details right, and guarantee that siginfo is properly initialized. send_sig_mceerr and force_sig_mceer are a little special as two si codes BUS_MCEERR_AO and BUS_MCEER_AR both use the same extended signinfo layout.

2018-01-22signal: Add send_sig_fault and force_sig_faultEric W. Biederman
The vast majority of signals sent from architecture specific code are simple faults. Encapsulate this reality with two helper functions so that the nit-picky implementation of preparing a siginfo does not need to be repeated many times on each architecture. As only some architectures support the trapno field, make the trapno arguement only present on those architectures. Similary as ia64 has three fields: imm, flags, and isr that are specific to it. Have those arguments always present on ia64 and no where else. This ensures the architecture specific code always remembers which fields it needs to pass into the siginfo structure.

2018-01-15fork: Provide usercopy whitelisting for task_structKees Cook
While the blocked and saved_sigmask fields of task_struct are copied to userspace (via sigmask_to_save() and setup_rt_frame()), it is always copied with a static length (i.e. sizeof(sigset_t)). The only portion of task_struct that is potentially dynamically sized and may be copied to userspace is in the architecture-specific thread_struct at the end of task_struct. cache object allocation: kernel/fork.c: alloc_task_struct_node(...): return kmem_cache_alloc_node(task_struct_cachep, ...); dup_task_struct(...): ... tsk = alloc_task_struct_node(node); copy_process(...): ... dup_task_struct(...) _do_fork(...): ... copy_process(...) example usage trace: arch/x86/kernel/fpu/signal.c: __fpu__restore_sig(...): ... struct task_struct *tsk = current; struct fpu *fpu = &tsk->thread.fpu; ... __copy_from_user(&fpu->state.xsave, ..., state_size); fpu__restore_sig(...): ... return __fpu__restore_sig(...); arch/x86/kernel/signal.c: restore_sigcontext(...): ... fpu__restore_sig(...) This introduces arch_thread_struct_whitelist() to let an architecture declare specifically where the whitelist should be within thread_struct.

CONFIG_SMP Currently, frequency and cpu capacity scaling is only performed on CONFIG_SMP systems (as CFS PELT signals are only present for such systems). However, other scheduling classes want to do freq/cpu scaling, and for !CONFIG_SMP configurations as well. arch_scale_freq_capacity() is useful to implement frequency scaling even on !CONFIG_SMP platforms, so we simply move it outside CONFIG_SMP ifdeffery. Even if arch_scale_cpu_capacity() is not useful on !CONFIG_SMP platforms, we make a default implementation available for such configurations anyway to simplify scheduler code doing CPU scale invariance.

We only synchronize with the oom reaper if tsk_is_oom_victim which is not true if the final __mmput is called from a different context than the oom victim exit path. This can trivially happen from context of any task which has grabbed mm reference (e.g. to read /proc/<pid>/ file which requires mm etc.). The race would look like this oom_reaper oom_victim task mmget_not_zero do_exit mmput __oom_reap_task_mm mmput __mmput exit_mmap remove_vma unmap_page_range Fix this issue by providing a new mm_is_oom_victim() helper which operates on the mm struct rather than a task. Any context which operates on a remote mm struct should use this helper in place of tsk_is_oom_victim. The flag is set in mark_oom_victim and never cleared so it is stable in the exit_mmap path.

2017-11-02License cleanup: add SPDX GPL-2.0 license identifier to files with no licenseGreg Kroah-Hartman
Many source files in the tree are missing licensing information, which makes it harder for compliance tools to determine the correct license. By default all files without license information are under the default license of the kernel, which is GPL version 2. Update the files which contain no license information with the 'GPL-2.0' SPDX license identifier. The SPDX identifier is a legally binding shorthand, which can be used instead of the full boiler plate text. This patch is based on work done by Thomas Gleixner and Kate Stewart and Philippe Ombredanne. How this work was done: Patches were generated and checked against linux-4.14-rc6 for a subset of the use cases: - file had no licensing information it it. - file was a */uapi/* one with no licensing information in it, - file was a */uapi/* one with existing licensing information, Further patches will be generated in subsequent months to fix up cases where non-standard license headers were used, and references to license had to be inferred by heuristics based on keywords. The analysis to determine which SPDX License Identifier to be applied to a file was done in a spreadsheet of side by side results from of the output of two independent scanners (ScanCode & Windriver) producing SPDX tag:value files created by Philippe Ombredanne. Philippe prepared the base worksheet, and did an initial spot review of a few 1000 files. The 4.13 kernel was the starting point of the analysis with 60,537 files assessed. Kate Stewart did a file by file comparison of the scanner results in the spreadsheet to determine which SPDX license identifier(s) to be applied to the file. She confirmed any determination that was not immediately clear with lawyers working with the Linux Foundation. Criteria used to select files for SPDX license identifier tagging was: - Files considered eligible had to be source code files. - Make and config files were included as candidates if they contained >5 lines of source - File already had some variant of a license header in it (even if <5 lines). All documentation files were explicitly excluded. The following heuristics were used to determine which SPDX license identifiers to apply. - when both scanners couldn't find any license traces, file was considered to have no license information in it, and the top level COPYING file license applied. For non */uapi/* files that summary was: SPDX license identifier # files ---------------------------------------------------|------- GPL-2.0 11139 and resulted in the first patch in this series. If that file was a */uapi/* path one, it was "GPL-2.0 WITH Linux-syscall-note" otherwise it was "GPL-2.0". Results of that was: SPDX license identifier # files ---------------------------------------------------|------- GPL-2.0 WITH Linux-syscall-note 930 and resulted in the second patch in this series. - if a file had some form of licensing information in it, and was one of the */uapi/* ones, it was denoted with the Linux-syscall-note if any GPL family license was found in the file or had no licensing in it (per prior point). Results summary: SPDX license identifier # files ---------------------------------------------------|------ GPL-2.0 WITH Linux-syscall-note 270 GPL-2.0+ WITH Linux-syscall-note 169 ((GPL-2.0 WITH Linux-syscall-note) OR BSD-2-Clause) 21 ((GPL-2.0 WITH Linux-syscall-note) OR BSD-3-Clause) 17 LGPL-2.1+ WITH Linux-syscall-note 15 GPL-1.0+ WITH Linux-syscall-note 14 ((GPL-2.0+ WITH Linux-syscall-note) OR BSD-3-Clause) 5 LGPL-2.0+ WITH Linux-syscall-note 4 LGPL-2.1 WITH Linux-syscall-note 3 ((GPL-2.0 WITH Linux-syscall-note) OR MIT) 3 ((GPL-2.0 WITH Linux-syscall-note) AND MIT) 1 and that resulted in the third patch in this series. - when the two scanners agreed on the detected license(s), that became the concluded license(s). - when there was disagreement between the two scanners (one detected a license but the other didn't, or they both detected different licenses) a manual inspection of the file occurred. - In most cases a manual inspection of the information in the file resulted in a clear resolution of the license that should apply (and which scanner probably needed to revisit its heuristics). - When it was not immediately clear, the license identifier was confirmed with lawyers working with the Linux Foundation. - If there was any question as to the appropriate license identifier, the file was flagged for further research and to be revisited later in time. In total, over 70 hours of logged manual review was done on the spreadsheet to determine the SPDX license identifiers to apply to the source files by Kate, Philippe, Thomas and, in some cases, confirmation by lawyers working with the Linux Foundation. Kate also obtained a third independent scan of the 4.13 code base from FOSSology, and compared selected files where the other two scanners disagreed against that SPDX file, to see if there was new insights. The Windriver scanner is based on an older version of FOSSology in part, so they are related. Thomas did random spot checks in about 500 files from the spreadsheets for the uapi headers and agreed with SPDX license identifier in the files he inspected. For the non-uapi files Thomas did random spot checks in about 15000 files. In initial set of patches against 4.14-rc6, 3 files were found to have copy/paste license identifier errors, and have been fixed to reflect the correct identifier. Additionally Philippe spent 10 hours this week doing a detailed manual inspection and review of the 12,461 patched files from the initial patch version early this week with: - a full scancode scan run, collecting the matched texts, detected license ids and scores - reviewing anything where there was a license detected (about 500+ files) to ensure that the applied SPDX license was correct - reviewing anything where there was no detection but the patch license was not GPL-2.0 WITH Linux-syscall-note to ensure that the applied SPDX license was correct This produced a worksheet with 20 files needing minor correction. This worksheet was then exported into 3 different .csv files for the different types of files to be modified. These .csv files were then reviewed by Greg. Thomas wrote a script to parse the csv files and add the proper SPDX tag to the file, in the format that the file expected. This script was further refined by Greg based on the output to detect more types of files automatically and to distinguish between header and source .c files (which need different comment types.) Finally Greg ran the script using the .csv files to generate the patches.

2017-11-01sched/sysctl: Fix attributes of some extern declarationsMatthias Kaehlcke
The definition of sysctl_sched_migration_cost, sysctl_sched_nr_migrate and sysctl_sched_time_avg includes the attribute const_debug. This attribute is not part of the extern declaration of these variables in include/linux/sched/sysctl.h, while it is in kernel/sched/sched.h, and as a result Clang generates warnings like this: kernel/sched/sched.h:1618:33: warning: section attribute is specified on redeclared variable [-Wsection] extern const_debug unsigned int sysctl_sched_time_avg; ^ ./include/linux/sched/sysctl.h:42:21: note: previous declaration is here extern unsigned int sysctl_sched_time_avg; The header only declares the variables when CONFIG_SCHED_DEBUG is defined, therefore it is not necessary to duplicate the definition of const_debug. Instead we can use the attribute __read_mostly, which is the expansion of const_debug when CONFIG_SCHED_DEBUG=y is set.

2017-10-19membarrier: Provide register expedited private commandMathieu Desnoyers
This introduces a "register private expedited" membarrier command which allows eventual removal of important memory barrier constraints on the scheduler fast-paths. It changes how the "private expedited" membarrier command (new to 4.14) is used from user-space. This new command allows processes to register their intent to use the private expedited command. This affects how the expedited private command introduced in 4.14-rc is meant to be used, and should be merged before 4.14 final. Processes are now required to register before using MEMBARRIER_CMD_PRIVATE_EXPEDITED, otherwise that command returns EPERM. This fixes a problem that arose when designing requested extensions to sys_membarrier() to allow JITs to efficiently flush old code from instruction caches. Several potential algorithms are much less painful if the user register intent to use this functionality early on, for example, before the process spawns the second thread. Registering at this time removes the need to interrupt each and every thread in that process at the first expedited sys_membarrier() system call.

2017-09-06mm: oom: let oom_reap_task and exit_mmap run concurrentlyAndrea Arcangeli
This is purely required because exit_aio() may block and exit_mmap() may never start, if the oom_reap_task cannot start running on a mm with mm_users == 0. At the same time if the OOM reaper doesn't wait at all for the memory of the current OOM candidate to be freed by exit_mmap->unmap_vmas, it would generate a spurious OOM kill. If it wasn't because of the exit_aio or similar blocking functions in the last mmput, it would be enough to change the oom_reap_task() in the case it finds mm_users == 0, to wait for a timeout or to wait for __mmput to set MMF_OOM_SKIP itself, but it's not just exit_mmap the problem here so the concurrency of exit_mmap and oom_reap_task is apparently warranted. It's a non standard runtime, exit_mmap() runs without mmap_sem, and oom_reap_task runs with the mmap_sem for reading as usual (kind of MADV_DONTNEED). The race between the two is solved with a combination of tsk_is_oom_victim() (serialized by task_lock) and MMF_OOM_SKIP (serialized by a dummy down_write/up_write cycle on the same lines of the ksm_exit method). If the oom_reap_task() may be running concurrently during exit_mmap, exit_mmap will wait it to finish in down_write (before taking down mm structures that would make the oom_reap_task fail with use after free). If exit_mmap comes first, oom_reap_task() will skip the mm if MMF_OOM_SKIP is already set and in turn all memory is already freed and furthermore the mm data structures may already have been taken down by free_pgtables.

2017-08-10sched/fair: Fix wake_affine() for !NUMA_BALANCINGPeter Zijlstra
In commit: 3fed382b46ba ("sched/numa: Implement NUMA node level wake_affine()") Rik changed wake_affine to consider NUMA information when balancing between LLC domains. There are a number of problems here which this patch tries to address: - LLC < NODE; in this case we'd use the wrong information to balance - !NUMA_BALANCING: in this case, the new code doesn't do any balancing at all - re-computes the NUMA data for every wakeup, this can mean iterating up to 64 CPUs for every wakeup. - default affine wakeups inside a cache We address these by saving the load/capacity values for each sched_domain during regular load-balance and using these values in wake_affine_llc(). The obvious down-side to using cached values is that they can be too old and poorly reflect reality. But this way we can use LLC wide information and thus not rely on assuming LLC matches NODE. We also don't rely on NUMA_BALANCING nor do we have to aggegate two nodes (or even cache domains) worth of CPUs for each wakeup.

2017-08-10locking/lockdep: Rework FS_RECLAIM annotationPeter Zijlstra
A while ago someone, and I cannot find the email just now, asked if we could not implement the RECLAIM_FS inversion stuff with a 'fake' lock like we use for other things like workqueues etc. I think this should be possible which allows reducing the 'irq' states and will reduce the amount of __bfs() lookups we do. Removing the 1 IRQ state results in 4 less __bfs() walks per dependency, improving lockdep performance. And by moving this annotation out of the lockdep code it becomes easier for the mm people to extend.

2017-08-10sched/debug: Use task_pid_nr_ns in /proc/$pid/schedAleksa Sarai
It appears as though the addition of the PID namespace did not update the output code for /proc/*/sched, which resulted in it providing PIDs that were not self-consistent with the /proc mount. This additionally made it trivial to detect whether a process was inside &init_pid_ns from userspace, making container detection trivial: https://github.com/jessfraz/amicontained This leads to situations such as: % unshare -pmf % mount -t proc proc /proc % head -n1 /proc/1/sched head (10047, #threads: 1) Fix this by just using task_pid_nr_ns for the output of /proc/*/sched. All of the other uses of task_pid_nr in kernel/sched/debug.c are from a sysctl context and thus don't need to be namespaced.

2017-07-10mm: make PR_SET_THP_DISABLE immediately activeMichal Hocko
PR_SET_THP_DISABLE has a rather subtle semantic. It doesn't affect any existing mapping because it only updated mm->def_flags which is a template for new mappings. The mappings created after prctl(PR_SET_THP_DISABLE) have VM_NOHUGEPAGE flag set. This can be quite surprising for all those applications which do not do prctl(); fork() & exec() and want to control their own THP behavior. Another usecase when the immediate semantic of the prctl might be useful is a combination of pre- and post-copy migration of containers with CRIU. In this case CRIU populates a part of a memory region with data that was saved during the pre-copy stage. Afterwards, the region is registered with userfaultfd and CRIU expects to get page faults for the parts of the region that were not yet populated. However, khugepaged collapses the pages and the expected page faults do not occur. In more general case, the prctl(PR_SET_THP_DISABLE) could be used as a temporary mechanism for enabling/disabling THP process wide. Implementation wise, a new MMF_DISABLE_THP flag is added. This flag is tested when decision whether to use huge pages is taken either during page fault of at the time of THP collapse. It should be noted, that the new implementation makes PR_SET_THP_DISABLE master override to any per-VMA setting, which was not the case previously.

2017-06-30randstruct: Mark various structs for randomizationKees Cook
This marks many critical kernel structures for randomization. These are structures that have been targeted in the past in security exploits, or contain functions pointers, pointers to function pointer tables, lists, workqueues, ref-counters, credentials, permissions, or are otherwise sensitive. This initial list was extracted from Brad Spengler/PaX Team's code in the last public patch of grsecurity/PaX based on my understanding of the code. Changes or omissions from the original code are mine and don't reflect the original grsecurity/PaX code. Left out of this list is task_struct, which requires special handling and will be covered in a subsequent patch. Signed-off-by: Kees Cook <keescook@chromium.org>
