* tag 'configfs-for-linus' of git://git.infradead.org/users/hch/configfs:
configfs: add myself as co-maintainer, updated git tree
configfs: implement binary attributes
ConfigFS lacked binary attributes up until now. This patch
introduces support for binary attributes in a somewhat similar
manner of sysfs binary attributes albeit with changes that
fit the configfs usage model.
Problems that configfs binary attributes fix are everything that
requires a binary blob as part of the configuration of a resource,
such as bitstream loading for FPGAs, DTBs for dynamically created
devices etc.
Look at Documentation/filesystems/configfs/configfs.txt for internals
and howto use them.
This patch is against linux-next as of today that contains
Christoph's configfs rework.

This change is necessary for the SCSI target usb gadget composed with
configfs. In this case configfs will be used for two different purposes:
to compose a usb gadget and to configure the target part. If an instance
of tcm function is created in $CONFIGFS_ROOT/usb_gadget/<gadget>/functions
a tpg can be created in $CONFIGFS_ROOT/target/usb_gadget/<wwn>/, but after
a tpg is created the tcm function must not be removed until its
corresponding tpg is gone. While the configfs_depend/undepend_item() are
meant exactly for creating this kind of dependencies, they are not suitable
if the other kernel subsystem happens to be another subsystem in configfs,
so this patch adds unlocked versions meant for configfs callbacks.
Above description has been provided by:
Andrzej Pietrasiewicz <andrzej.p@samsung.com>
In configfs_depend_item() we have to consider two possible cases:
1) When we are called to depend another item in the same subsystem
as caller
In this case we should skip locking configfs root as we know
that configfs is in valid state and our subsystem will not
be unregistered during this call.
2) When we are called to depend item in different subsystem than
our caller
In this case we are also sure that configfs is in valid state
but we have to lock root of configfs to avoid unregistration
of target's subsystem. As it is other than caller's subsystem,
there may be nothing what protects us against unregistration
of that subsystem.

new method: ->get_link(); replacement of ->follow_link(). The differences
are:
* inode and dentry are passed separately
* might be called both in RCU and non-RCU mode;
the former is indicated by passing it a NULL dentry.
* when called that way it isn't allowed to block
and should return ERR_PTR(-ECHILD) if it needs to be called
in non-RCU mode.
It's a flagday change - the old method is gone, all in-tree instances
converted. Conversion isn't hard; said that, so far very few instances
do not immediately bail out when called in RCU mode. That'll change
in the next commits.

This patchset introduces IIO software triggers, offers a way of configuring
them via configfs and adds the IIO hrtimer based interrupt source to be used
with software triggers.
The architecture is now split in 3 parts, to remove all IIO trigger specific
parts from IIO configfs core:
(1) IIO configfs - creates the root of the IIO configfs subsys.
(2) IIO software triggers - software trigger implementation, dynamically
creating /config/iio/triggers group.
(3) IIO hrtimer trigger - is the first interrupt source for software triggers
(with syfs to follow). Each trigger type can implement its own set of
attributes.
Lockdep seems to be happy with the locking in configfs patch.
This patch (of 5):
We don't want to hardcode default groups at subsystem
creation time. We export:
* configfs_register_group
* configfs_unregister_group
to allow drivers to programatically create/destroy groups
later, after module init time.
This is needed for IIO configfs support.

Some modules call config_item_init_type_name() and config_group_init_type_name()
with parameter "name" directly controlled by userspace. These two
functions call config_item_set_name() with this name used as a format
string, which can be used to leak information such as content of the
stack to userspace.
For example, make_netconsole_target() in netconsole module calls
config_item_init_type_name() with the name of a newly-created directory.
This means that the following commands give some unexpected output, with
configfs mounted in /sys/kernel/config/ and on a system with a
configured eth0 ethernet interface:
# modprobe netconsole
# mkdir /sys/kernel/config/netconsole/target_%lx
# echo eth0 > /sys/kernel/config/netconsole/target_%lx/dev_name
# echo 1 > /sys/kernel/config/netconsole/target_%lx/enabled
# echo eth0 > /sys/kernel/config/netconsole/target_%lx/dev_name
# dmesg |tail -n1
[ 142.697668] netconsole: target (target_ffffffffc0ae8080) is
enabled, disable to update parameters
The directory name is correct but %lx has been interpreted in the
internal item name, displayed here in the error message used by
store_dev_name() in drivers/net/netconsole.c.
To fix this, update every caller of config_item_set_name to use "%s"
when operating on untrusted input.
This issue was found using -Wformat-security gcc flag, once a __printf
attribute has been added to config_item_set_name().

Pull user namespace updates from Eric Biederman:
"Long ago and far away when user namespaces where young it was realized
that allowing fresh mounts of proc and sysfs with only user namespace
permissions could violate the basic rule that only root gets to decide
if proc or sysfs should be mounted at all.
Some hacks were put in place to reduce the worst of the damage could
be done, and the common sense rule was adopted that fresh mounts of
proc and sysfs should allow no more than bind mounts of proc and
sysfs. Unfortunately that rule has not been fully enforced.
There are two kinds of gaps in that enforcement. Only filesystems
mounted on empty directories of proc and sysfs should be ignored but
the test for empty directories was insufficient. So in my tree
directories on proc, sysctl and sysfs that will always be empty are
created specially. Every other technique is imperfect as an ordinary
directory can have entries added even after a readdir returns and
shows that the directory is empty. Special creation of directories
for mount points makes the code in the kernel a smidge clearer about
it's purpose. I asked container developers from the various container
projects to help test this and no holes were found in the set of mount
points on proc and sysfs that are created specially.
This set of changes also starts enforcing the mount flags of fresh
mounts of proc and sysfs are consistent with the existing mount of
proc and sysfs. I expected this to be the boring part of the work but
unfortunately unprivileged userspace winds up mounting fresh copies of
proc and sysfs with noexec and nosuid clear when root set those flags
on the previous mount of proc and sysfs. So for now only the atime,
read-only and nodev attributes which userspace happens to keep
consistent are enforced. Dealing with the noexec and nosuid
attributes remains for another time.
This set of changes also addresses an issue with how open file
descriptors from /proc/<pid>/ns/* are displayed. Recently readlink of
/proc/<pid>/fd has been triggering a WARN_ON that has not been
meaningful since it was added (as all of the code in the kernel was
converted) and is not now actively wrong.
There is also a short list of issues that have not been fixed yet that
I will mention briefly.
It is possible to rename a directory from below to above a bind mount.
At which point any directory pointers below the renamed directory can
be walked up to the root directory of the filesystem. With user
namespaces enabled a bind mount of the bind mount can be created
allowing the user to pick a directory whose children they can rename
to outside of the bind mount. This is challenging to fix and doubly
so because all obvious solutions must touch code that is in the
performance part of pathname resolution.
As mentioned above there is also a question of how to ensure that
developers by accident or with purpose do not introduce exectuable
files on sysfs and proc and in doing so introduce security regressions
in the current userspace that will not be immediately obvious and as
such are likely to require breaking userspace in painful ways once
they are recognized"

a) instead of storing the symlink body (via nd_set_link()) and returning

the symlink body. Returning ERR_PTR() on error, NULL on jump (procfs magic
symlinks) and pointer to symlink body for normal symlinks. Stored pointer
is ignored in all cases except the last one.
Storing NULL for opaque pointer (or not storing it at all) means no call
of ->put_link().
b) the body used to be passed to ->put_link() implicitly (via nameidata).
Now only the opaque pointer is. In the cases when we used the symlink body
to free stuff, ->follow_link() now should store it as opaque pointer in addition
to returning it.

Code that does this:

}
is broken because:
!(d_unhashed(dentry) && dentry->d_inode)
is equivalent to:
!d_unhashed(dentry) || !dentry->d_inode
so it is possible to get into simple_unlink() with dentry->d_inode == NULL.
simple_unlink(), however, assumes dentry->d_inode cannot be NULL.
I think that what was meant is this:
!d_unhashed(dentry) && dentry->d_inode
and that the logical-not operator or the final close-bracket was misplaced.

Safer ABI for O_TMPFILE
Pull third set of VFS updates from Al Viro:
"Misc stuff all over the place. There will be one more pile in a
couple of days"
This is an "evil merge" that also uses the new d_count helper in
fs/configfs/dir.c, missed by commit 84d08fa888 ("helper for reading
->d_count")
* 'for-linus' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/viro/vfs:
ncpfs: fix error return code in ncp_parse_options()
locks: move file_lock_list to a set of percpu hlist_heads and convert file_lock_lock to an lglock
seq_file: add seq_list_*_percpu helpers
f2fs: fix readdir incorrectness
mode_t whack-a-mole...
lustre: kill the pointless wrapper
helper for reading ->d_count
The difference between "count" and "len" is that "len" is capped at
4095. Changing it like this makes it match how sysfs_write_file() is
implemented.
This is a static analysis patch. I haven't found any store_attribute()
functions where this change makes a difference.

Modify the request_module to prefix the file system type with "fs-"
and add aliases to all of the filesystems that can be built as modules
to match.
A common practice is to build all of the kernel code and leave code
that is not commonly needed as modules, with the result that many
users are exposed to any bug anywhere in the kernel.
Looking for filesystems with a fs- prefix limits the pool of possible
modules that can be loaded by mount to just filesystems trivially
making things safer with no real cost.
Using aliases means user space can control the policy of which
filesystem modules are auto-loaded by editing /etc/modprobe.d/*.conf
with blacklist and alias directives. Allowing simple, safe,
well understood work-arounds to known problematic software.
This also addresses a rare but unfortunate problem where the filesystem
name is not the same as it's module name and module auto-loading
would not work. While writing this patch I saw a handful of such
cases. The most significant being autofs that lives in the module
autofs4.
This is relevant to user namespaces because we can reach the request
module in get_fs_type() without having any special permissions, and
people get uncomfortable when a user specified string (in this case
the filesystem type) goes all of the way to request_module.
After having looked at this issue I don't think there is any
particular reason to perform any filtering or permission checks beyond
making it clear in the module request that we want a filesystem
module. The common pattern in the kernel is to call request_module()
without regards to the users permissions. In general all a filesystem
module does once loaded is call register_filesystem() and go to sleep.
Which means there is not much attack surface exposed by loading a
filesytem module unless the filesystem is mounted. In a user
namespace filesystems are not mounted unless .fs_flags = FS_USERNS_MOUNT,
which most filesystems do not set today.

Pull vfs pile (part one) from Al Viro:
"Assorted stuff - cleaning namei.c up a bit, fixing ->d_name/->d_parent
locking violations, etc.
The most visible changes here are death of FS_REVAL_DOT (replaced with
"has ->d_weak_revalidate()") and a new helper getting from struct file
to inode. Some bits of preparation to xattr method interface changes.
Misc patches by various people sent this cycle *and* ocfs2 fixes from
several cycles ago that should've been upstream right then.
PS: the next vfs pile will be xattr stuff."
* 'for-linus' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/viro/vfs: (46 commits)

proc: avoid extra pde_put() in proc_fill_super()
fs: change return values from -EACCES to -EPERM
fs/exec.c: make bprm_mm_init() static
ocfs2/dlm: use GFP_ATOMIC inside a spin_lock
ocfs2: fix possible use-after-free with AIO
ocfs2: Fix oops in ocfs2_fast_symlink_readpage() code path
get_empty_filp()/alloc_file() leave both ->f_pos and ->f_version zero
target: writev() on single-element vector is pointless

fs: encode_fh: return FILEID_INVALID if invalid fid_type
kill f_vfsmnt

nfsd: handle vfs_getattr errors in acl protocol
switch vfs_getattr() to struct path
default SET_PERSONALITY() in linux/elf.h
ceph: prepopulate inodes only when request is aborted
d_hash_and_lookup(): export, switch open-coded instances
9p: switch v9fs_set_create_acl() to inode+fid, do it before d_instantiate()
9p: split dropping the acls from v9fs_set_create_acl()
...
The dereference should be moved below the NULL test.
spatch with a semantic match is used to found this.
