e04f228335 lib/scatterlist: do not re-write gfp_flags in __sg_alloc_table()
We are seeing a lot of sg_alloc_table allocation failures using the new
drm prime infrastructure.  We isolated the cause to code in
__sg_alloc_table that was re-writing the gfp_flags.

There is a comment in the code that suggest that there is an assumption
about the allocation coming from a memory pool.  This was likely true
when sg lists were primarily used for disk I/O.

c24aa64d16 fault-injection: add tool to run command with failslab or fail_page_alloc
This adds tools/testing/fault-injection/failcmd.sh to run a command while
injecting slab/page allocation failures via fault injection.

Example:

Run a command "make -C tools/testing/selftests/ run_tests" with
injecting slab allocation failure.

	# ./tools/testing/fault-injection/failcmd.sh \
		-- make -C tools/testing/selftests/ run_tests

Same as above except to specify 100 times failures at most instead of
one time at most by default.

	# ./tools/testing/fault-injection/failcmd.sh --times=100 \
		-- make -C tools/testing/selftests/ run_tests

Same as above except to inject page allocation failure instead of slab
allocation failure.

	# env FAILCMD_TYPE=fail_page_alloc \
		./tools/testing/fault-injection/failcmd.sh --times=100 \
		-- make -C tools/testing/selftests/ run_tests

f5a9f52e2c cpu: rewrite cpu-notifier-error-inject module
Rewrite existing cpu-notifier-error-inject module to use debugfs based new
framework.

This change removes cpu_up_prepare_error and cpu_down_prepare_error module
parameters which were used to specify error code to be injected.  We could
keep these module parameters for backward compatibility by module_param_cb
but it seems overkill for this module.

This provides the ability to inject artifical errors to CPU notifier chain
callbacks.  It is controlled through debugfs interface under
/sys/kernel/debug/notifier-error-inject/cpu

If the notifier call chain should be failed with some events notified,
write the error code to "actions/<notifier event>/error".

Example1: inject CPU offline error (-1 == -EPERM)

	# cd /sys/kernel/debug/notifier-error-inject/cpu
	# echo -1 > actions/CPU_DOWN_PREPARE/error
	# echo 0 > /sys/devices/system/cpu/cpu1/online
	bash: echo: write error: Operation not permitted

Example2: inject CPU online error (-2 == -ENOENT)

	# cd /sys/kernel/debug/notifier-error-inject/cpu
	# echo -2 > actions/CPU_UP_PREPARE/error
	# echo 1 > /sys/devices/system/cpu/cpu1/online
	bash: echo: write error: No such file or directory

8d43828814 fault-injection: notifier error injection
This patchset provides kernel modules that can be used to test the error
handling of notifier call chain failures by injecting artifical errors to
the following notifier chain callbacks.

 * CPU notifier
 * PM notifier
 * memory hotplug notifier
 * powerpc pSeries reconfig notifier

Example: Inject CPU offline error (-1 == -EPERM)

  # cd /sys/kernel/debug/notifier-error-inject/cpu
  # echo -1 > actions/CPU_DOWN_PREPARE/error
  # echo 0 > /sys/devices/system/cpu/cpu1/online
  bash: echo: write error: Operation not permitted

The patchset also adds cpu and memory hotplug tests to
tools/testing/selftests These tests first do simple online and offline
test and then do fault injection tests if notifier error injection
module is available.

This patch:

The notifier error injection provides the ability to inject artifical
errors to specified notifier chain callbacks.  It is useful to test the
error handling of notifier call chain failures.

This adds common basic functions to define which type of events can be
fail and to initialize the debugfs interface to control what error code
should be returned and which event should be failed.

65fed8f6f2 resource: make sure requested range is included in the root range
When the requested range is outside of the root range the logic in
__reserve_region_with_split will cause an infinite recursion which will
overflow the stack as seen in the warning bellow.

This particular stack overflow was caused by requesting the
(100000000-107ffffff) range while the root range was (0-ffffffff).  In
this case __request_resource would return the whole root range as
conflict range (i.e.  0-ffffffff).  Then, the logic in
__reserve_region_with_split would continue the recursion requesting the
new range as (conflict->end+1, end) which incidentally in this case
equals the originally requested range.

This patch aborts looking for an usable range when the request does not
intersect with the root range.  When the request partially overlaps with
the root range, it ajust the request to fall in the root range and then
continues with the new request.

When the request is modified or aborted errors and a stack trace are
logged to allow catching the errors in the upper layers.

fd4b616b0f sysctl: suppress kmemleak messages
register_sysctl_table() is a strange function, as it makes internal
allocations (a header) to register a sysctl_table.  This header is a
handle to the table that is created, and can be used to unregister the
table.  But if the table is permanent and never unregistered, the header
acts the same as a static variable.

Unfortunately, this allocation of memory that is never expected to be
freed fools kmemleak in thinking that we have leaked memory.  For those
sysctl tables that are never unregistered, and have no pointer referencing
them, kmemleak will think that these are memory leaks:

unreferenced object 0xffff880079fb9d40 (size 192):

The sysctl_base_table used by sysctl itself is one such instance that
registers the table to never be unregistered.

Use kmemleak_not_leak() to suppress the kmemleak false positive.

Rather than #define the options manually in the architecture code, add
Kconfig options for them and select them there instead.  This also allows
us to select the compat IPC version parsing automatically for platforms

05ba3f1aa1 ipc: compat: use signed size_t types for msgsnd and msgrcv
The msgsnd and msgrcv system calls use size_t to represent the size of the
message being transferred.  POSIX states that values of msgsz greater than
SSIZE_MAX cause the result to be implementation-defined.  On Linux, this
equates to returning -EINVAL if (long) msgsz < 0.

For compat tasks where !CONFIG_ARCH_WANT_OLD_COMPAT_IPC and compat_size_t
is smaller than size_t, negative size values passed from userspace will be
interpreted as positive values by do_msg{rcv,snd} and will fail to exit
early with -EINVAL.

This patch changes the compat prototypes for msg{rcv,snd} so that the
message size is represented as a compat_ssize_t, which we cast to the
native ssize_t type for the core IPC code.

b610c04c66 ipc: allow compat IPC version field parsing if !ARCH_WANT_OLD_COMPAT_IPC
Commit 48b25c43e6 ("ipc: provide generic compat versions of IPC
syscalls") added a new ARCH_WANT_OLD_COMPAT_IPC config option for
architectures to select if their compat target requires the old IPC
syscall interface.

For architectures (such as AArch64) that do not require the internal
calling conventions provided by this option, but have a compat target
where the C library passes the IPC_64 flag explicitly,
compat_ipc_parse_version no longer strips out the flag before calling
the native system call implementation, resulting in unknown SHM/IPC
commands and -EINVAL being returned to userspace.

This patch separates the selection of the internal calling conventions
for the IPC syscalls from the version parsing, allowing architectures to
select __ARCH_WANT_COMPAT_IPC_PARSE_VERSION if they want to use version
parsing whilst retaining the newer syscall calling conventions.

079a96ae38 ipc: add COMPAT_SHMLBA support
If the SHMLBA definition for a native task differs from the definition for

This patch introduces COMPAT_SHMLBA, which is used by the compat shmat
syscall when calling the ipc code and allows architectures such as AArch64
(where the native SHMLBA is 64k but the compat (AArch32) definition is
16k) to provide the correct semantics for compat IPC system calls.

f19b9f74b7 fork: fix error handling in dup_task()
The function dup_task() may fail at the following function calls in the
following order.

0) alloc_task_struct_node()
1) alloc_thread_info_node()
2) arch_dup_task_struct()

Error by 0) is not a matter, it can just return.  But error by 1) requires
releasing task_struct allocated by 0) before it returns.  Likewise, error
by 2) requires releasing task_struct and thread_info allocated by 0) and
1).

The existing error handling calls free_task_struct() and
free_thread_info() which do not only release task_struct and thread_info,
but also call architecture specific arch_release_task_struct() and
arch_release_thread_info().

The problem is that task_struct and thread_info are not fully initialized
yet at this point, but arch_release_task_struct() and
arch_release_thread_info() are called with them.

For example, x86 defines its own arch_release_task_struct() that releases
a task_xstate.  If alloc_thread_info_node() fails in dup_task(),
arch_release_task_struct() is called with task_struct which is just
allocated and filled with garbage in this error handling.

This actually happened with tools/testing/fault-injection/failcmd.sh

	# env FAILCMD_TYPE=fail_page_alloc \
		./tools/testing/fault-injection/failcmd.sh --times=100 \
		--min-order=0 --ignore-gfp-wait=0 \
		-- make -C tools/testing/selftests/ run_tests

In order to fix this issue, make free_{task_struct,thread_info}() not to
call arch_release_{task_struct,thread_info}() and call
arch_release_{task_struct,thread_info}() implicitly where needed.

Default arch_release_task_struct() and arch_release_thread_info() are
defined as empty by default.  So this change only affects the
architectures which implement their own arch_release_task_struct() or
arch_release_thread_info() as listed below.

arch_release_task_struct(): x86, sh
arch_release_thread_info(): mn10300, tile

e8905ec27e proc: environ_read() make sure offset points to environment address range
Currently the following offset and environment address range check in
environ_read() of /proc/<pid>/environ is buggy:

  int this_len = mm->env_end - (mm->env_start + src);
  if (this_len <= 0)
    break;

Large or negative offsets on /proc/<pid>/environ converted to 'unsigned
long' may pass this check since '(mm->env_start + src)' can overflow and
'this_len' will be positive.

This can turn /proc/<pid>/environ to act like /proc/<pid>/mem since
(mm->env_start + src) will point and read from another VMA.

There are two fixes here plus some code cleaning:

1) Fix the overflow by checking if the offset that was converted to
   unsigned long will always point to the [mm->env_start, mm->env_end]
   address range.

2) Remove the truncation that was made to the result of the check,
   storing the result in 'int this_len' will alter its value and we can
   not depend on it.

For kernels that have commit b409e578d ("proc: clean up
/proc/<pid>/environ handling") which adds the appropriate ptrace check and
saves the 'mm' at ->open() time, this is not a security issue.

This patch is taken from the grsecurity patch since it was just made
available.

0f20784d4b kmod: avoid deadlock from recursive kmod call
The system deadlocks (at least since 2.6.10) when
call_usermodehelper(UMH_WAIT_EXEC) request triggers
call_usermodehelper(UMH_WAIT_PROC) request.

This is because "khelper thread is waiting for the worker thread at
wait_for_completion() in do_fork() since the worker thread was created
with CLONE_VFORK flag" and "the worker thread cannot call complete()
because do_execve() is blocked at UMH_WAIT_PROC request" and "the khelper
thread cannot start processing UMH_WAIT_PROC request because the khelper
thread is waiting for the worker thread at wait_for_completion() in
do_fork()".

The easiest example to observe this deadlock is to use a corrupted
/sbin/hotplug binary (like shown below).

  # : > /tmp/dummy
  # chmod 755 /tmp/dummy
  # echo /tmp/dummy > /proc/sys/kernel/hotplug
  # modprobe whatever

call_usermodehelper("/tmp/dummy", UMH_WAIT_EXEC) is called from
kobject_uevent_env() in lib/kobject_uevent.c upon loading/unloading a
module.  do_execve("/tmp/dummy") triggers a call to
request_module("binfmt-0000") from search_binary_handler() which in turn
calls call_usermodehelper(UMH_WAIT_PROC).

In order to avoid deadlock, as a for-now and easy-to-backport solution, do
not try to call wait_for_completion() in call_usermodehelper_exec() if the
worker thread was created by khelper thread with CLONE_VFORK flag.  Future
and fundamental solution might be replacing singleton khelper thread with
some workqueue so that recursive calls up to max_active dependency loop
can be handled without deadlock.

572d8b3945 nilfs2: fix deadlock issue between chcp and thaw ioctls
An fs-thaw ioctl causes deadlock with a chcp or mkcp -s command:

   system_call_fastpath+0x16/0x1b

where the thaw ioctl deadlocked at thaw_super() when called while chcp was
waiting at nilfs_transaction_begin() called from
nilfs_ioctl_change_cpmode().  This deadlock is 100% reproducible.

This is because nilfs_ioctl_change_cpmode() first locks sb->s_umount in
read mode and then waits for unfreezing in nilfs_transaction_begin(),
whereas thaw_super() locks sb->s_umount in write mode.  The locking of
sb->s_umount here was intended to make snapshot mounts and the downgrade
of snapshots to checkpoints exclusive.

This fixes the deadlock issue by replacing the sb->s_umount usage in
nilfs_ioctl_change_cpmode() with a dedicated mutex which protects snapshot
mounts.

fe0627e7b3 nilfs2: fix timing issue between rmcp and chcp ioctls
The checkpoint deletion ioctl (rmcp ioctl) has potential for breaking
snapshot because it is not fully exclusive with checkpoint mode change
ioctl (chcp ioctl).

The rmcp ioctl first tests if the specified checkpoint is a snapshot or
not within nilfs_cpfile_delete_checkpoint function, and then calls
nilfs_cpfile_delete_checkpoints function to actually invalidate the
checkpoint only if it's not a snapshot.  However, the checkpoint can be
changed into a snapshot by the chcp ioctl between these two operations.
In that case, calling nilfs_cpfile_delete_checkpoints() wrongly
invalidates the snapshot, which leads to snapshot list corruption and
snapshot count mismatch.

This fixes the issue by changing nilfs_cpfile_delete_checkpoints() so
that it reconfirms the target checkpoints are snapshot or not.

This second check is exclusive with the chcp operation since it is
protected by an existing semaphore.
