Pull compat time conversion changes from Peter Anvin:
 "Despite the branch name this is really neither an x86 nor an
  x32-specific patchset, although it the implementation of the
  discussions that followed the x32 security hole a few months ago.

  This removes get/put_compat_timespec/val() and replaces them with
  compat_get/put_timespec/val() which are savvy as to the current status
  of COMPAT_USE_64BIT_TIME.

  It removes several unused and/or incorrect/misleading functions (like
  compat_put_timeval_convert which doesn't in fact do any conversion)
  and also replaces several open-coded implementations what is now
  called compat_convert_timespec() with that function"

190f918660 Merge branch 'compat' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/s390/linux
Pull s390 compat wrapper rework from Heiko Carstens:
 "S390 compat system call wrapper simplification work.

  The intention of this work is to get rid of all hand written assembly
  compat system call wrappers on s390, which perform proper sign or zero
  extension, or pointer conversion of compat system call parameters.
  Instead all of this should be done with C code eg by using Al's
  COMPAT_SYSCALL_DEFINEx() macro.

  Therefore all common code and s390 specific compat system calls have
  been converted to the COMPAT_SYSCALL_DEFINEx() macro.

  In order to generate correct code all compat system calls may only
  have eg compat_ulong_t parameters, but no unsigned long parameters.
  Those patches which change parameter types from unsigned long to
  compat_ulong_t parameters are separate in this series, but shouldn't
  cause any harm.

  The only compat system calls which intentionally have 64 bit
  parameters (preadv64 and pwritev64) in support of the x86/32 ABI
  haven't been changed, but are now only available if an architecture
  defines __ARCH_WANT_COMPAT_SYS_PREADV64/PWRITEV64.

  System calls which do not have a compat variant but still need proper
  zero extension on s390, like eg "long sys_brk(unsigned long brk)" will
  get a proper wrapper function with the new s390 specific
  COMPAT_SYSCALL_WRAPx() macro:

     COMPAT_SYSCALL_WRAP1(brk, unsigned long, brk);

  which generates the following code (simplified):

     asmlinkage long sys_brk(unsigned long brk);
     asmlinkage long compat_sys_brk(long brk)
     {
         return sys_brk((u32)brk);
     }

  Given that the C file which contains all the COMPAT_SYSCALL_WRAP lines
  includes both linux/syscall.h and linux/compat.h, it will generate
  build errors, if the declaration of sys_brk() doesn't match, or if
  there exists a non-matching compat_sys_brk() declaration.

  In addition this will intentionally result in a link error if
  somewhere else a compat_sys_brk() function exists, which probably
  should have been used instead.  Two more BUILD_BUG_ONs make sure the
  size and type of each compat syscall parameter can be handled
  correctly with the s390 specific macros.

  I converted the compat system calls step by step to verify the
  generated code is correct and matches the previous code.  In fact it
  did not always match, however that was always a bug in the hand
  written asm code.

  In result we get less code, less bugs, and much more sanity checking"

4f87dac386 ipc: Fix 2 bugs in msgrcv() MSG_COPY implementation
While testing and documenting the msgrcv() MSG_COPY flag that Stanislav
Kinsbursky added in commit 4a674f34ba ("ipc: introduce message queue
copy feature" => kernel 3.8), I discovered a couple of bugs in the
implementation.  The two bugs concern MSG_COPY interactions with other
msgrcv() flags, namely:

 (A) MSG_COPY + MSG_EXCEPT
 (B) MSG_COPY + !IPC_NOWAIT

The bugs are distinct (and the fix for the first one is obvious),
however my fix for both is a single-line patch, which is why I'm
combining them in a single mail, rather than writing two mails+patches.

 ===== (A) MSG_COPY + MSG_EXCEPT =====

With the addition of the MSG_COPY flag, there are now two msgrcv()
flags--MSG_COPY and MSG_EXCEPT--that modify the meaning of the 'msgtyp'
argument in unrelated ways.  Specifying both in the same call is a
logical error that is currently permitted, with the effect that MSG_COPY
has priority and MSG_EXCEPT is ignored.  The call should give an error
if both flags are specified.  The patch below implements that behavior.

 ===== (B) (B) MSG_COPY + !IPC_NOWAIT =====

The test code that was submitted in commit 3a665531a3 ("selftests: IPC
message queue copy feature test") shows MSG_COPY being used in
conjunction with IPC_NOWAIT.  In other words, if there is no message at
the position 'msgtyp'.  return immediately with the error in ENOMSG.

What was not (fully) tested is the behavior if MSG_COPY is specified
*without* IPC_NOWAIT, and there is an odd behavior.  If the queue
contains less than 'msgtyp' messages, then the call blocks until the
next message is written to the queue.  At that point, the msgrcv() call
returns a copy of the newly added message, regardless of whether that
message is at the ordinal position 'msgtyp'.  This is clearly bogus, and
problematic for applications that might want to make use of the MSG_COPY
flag.

I considered the following possible solutions to this problem:

 (1) Force the call to block until a message *does* appear at the
     position 'msgtyp'.

 (2) If the MSG_COPY flag is specified, the kernel should implicitly add
     IPC_NOWAIT, so that the call fails with ENOMSG for this case.

 (3) If the MSG_COPY flag is specified, but IPC_NOWAIT is not, generate
     an error (probably, EINVAL is the right one).

I do not know if any application would really want to have the
functionality of solution (1), especially since an application can
determine in advance the number of messages in the queue using msgctl()
IPC_STAT.  Obviously, this solution would be the most work to implement.

Solution (2) would have the effect of silently fixing any applications
that tried to employ broken behavior.  However, it would mean that if we
later decided to implement solution (1), then user-space could not
easily detect what the kernel supports (but, since I'm somewhat doubtful
that solution (1) is needed, I'm not sure that this is much of a
problem).

Solution (3) would have the effect of informing broken applications that
they are doing something broken.  The downside is that this would cause
a ABI breakage for any applications that are currently employing the
broken behavior.  However:

a) Those applications are almost certainly not getting the results they
   expect.
b) Possibly, those applications don't even exist, because MSG_COPY is
   currently hidden behind CONFIG_CHECKPOINT_RESTORE.

The upside of solution (3) is that if we later decided to implement
solution (1), user-space could determine what the kernel supports, via
the error return.

In my view, solution (3) is mildly preferable to solution (2), and
solution (1) could still be done later if anyone really cares.  The
patch below implements solution (3).

PS.  For anyone out there still listening, it's the usual story:
documenting an API (and the thinking about, and the testing of the API,
that documentation entails) is the one of the single best ways of
finding bugs in the API, as I've learned from a lot of experience.  Best
to do that documentation before releasing the API.

f3713fd9cf ipc,mqueue: remove limits for the amount of system-wide queues
Commit 93e6f119c0 ("ipc/mqueue: cleanup definition names and
locations") added global hardcoded limits to the amount of message
queues that can be created.  While these limits are per-namespace,
reality is that it ends up breaking userspace applications.
Historically users have, at least in theory, been able to create up to
INT_MAX queues, and limiting it to just 1024 is way too low and dramatic
for some workloads and use cases.  For instance, Madars reports:

 "This update imposes bad limits on our multi-process application.  As
  our app uses approaches that each process opens its own set of queues
  (usually something about 3-5 queues per process).  In some scenarios
  we might run up to 3000 processes or more (which of-course for linux
  is not a problem).  Thus we might need up to 9000 queues or more.  All
  processes run under one user."

Other affected users can be found in launchpad bug #1155695:
  https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/manpages/+bug/1155695

Instead of increasing this limit, revert it entirely and fallback to the
original way of dealing queue limits -- where once a user's resource
limit is reached, and all memory is used, new queues cannot be created.

81993e81a9 compat: Get rid of (get|put)_compat_time(val|spec)
We have two APIs for compatiblity timespec/val, with confusingly
similar names.  compat_(get|put)_time(val|spec) *do* handle the case
where COMPAT_USE_64BIT_TIME is set, whereas
(get|put)_compat_time(val|spec) do not.  This is an accident waiting
to happen.

Clean it up by favoring the full-service version; the limited version
is replaced with double-underscore versions static to kernel/compat.c.

A common pattern is to convert a struct timespec to kernel format in
an allocation on the user stack.  Unfortunately it is open-coded in
several places.  Since this allocation isn't actually needed if
COMPAT_USE_64BIT_TIME is true (since user format == kernel format)
encapsulate that whole pattern into the function
compat_convert_timespec().  An equivalent function should be written
for struct timeval if it is needed in the future.

Finally, get rid of compat_(get|put)_timeval_convert(): each was only
used once, and the latter was not even doing what the function said
(no conversion actually was being done.)  Moving the conversion into
compat_sys_settimeofday() itself makes the code much more similar to
sys_settimeofday() itself.

v3: Remove unused compat_convert_timeval().

v2: Drop bogus "const" in the destination argument for
    compat_convert_time*().

0f3d2b0135 ipc: introduce ipc_valid_object() helper to sort out IPC_RMID races
After the locking semantics for the SysV IPC API got improved, a couple
of IPC_RMID race windows were opened because we ended up dropping the
'kern_ipc_perm.deleted' check performed way down in ipc_lock().  The
spotted races got sorted out by re-introducing the old test within the
racy critical sections.

This patch introduces ipc_valid_object() to consolidate the way we cope
with IPC_RMID races by using the same abstraction across the API
implementation.

78f5009cc3 ipc/sem.c: avoid overflow of semop undo (semadj) value
When trying to understand semop code, I found a small mistake in the check
for semadj (undo) value overflow.  The new undo value is not stored
immediately and next potential checks are done against the old value.

The failing scenario is not much practical.  One semop call has to do more
operations on the same semaphore.  Also semval and semadj must have
different values, so there has to be some operations without SEM_UNDO
flag.  For example:

	struct sembuf depositor_op[1];
	struct sembuf collector_op[2];

	depositor_op[0].sem_num = 0;
	depositor_op[0].sem_op = 20000;
	depositor_op[0].sem_flg = 0;

	collector_op[0].sem_num = 0;
	collector_op[0].sem_op = -10000;
	collector_op[0].sem_flg = SEM_UNDO;
	collector_op[1].sem_num = 0;
	collector_op[1].sem_op = -10000;
	collector_op[1].sem_flg = SEM_UNDO;

	if (semop(semid, depositor_op, 1) == -1)
		{ perror("Failed to do 1st deposit"); return 1; }

	if (semop(semid, collector_op, 2) == -1)
		{ perror("Failed to do 1st collect"); return 1; }

	if (semop(semid, depositor_op, 1) == -1)
		{ perror("Failed to do 2nd deposit"); return 1; }

	if (semop(semid, collector_op, 2) == -1)
		{ perror("Failed to do 2nd collect"); return 1; }

	return 0;

It passes without error now but the semadj value has overflown in the 2nd
collector operation.

3a72660b07 ipc,shm: correct error return value in shmctl (SHM_UNLOCK)
Commit 2caacaa82a ("ipc,shm: shorten critical region for shmctl")
restructured the ipc shm to shorten critical region, but introduced a
path where the return value could be -EPERM, even if the operation
actually was performed.

Before the commit, the err return value was reset by the return value
from security_shm_shmctl() after the if (!ns_capable(...)) statement.

Now, we still exit the if statement with err set to -EPERM, and in the
case of SHM_UNLOCK, it is not reset at all, and used as the return value
from shmctl.

To fix this, we only set err when errors occur, leaving the fallthrough
case alone.

a399b29dfb ipc,shm: fix shm_file deletion races
When IPC_RMID races with other shm operations there's potential for
use-after-free of the shm object's associated file (shm_file).

Here's the race before this patch:

  TASK 1                     TASK 2
  ------                     ------
  shm_rmid()
    ipc_lock_object()
                             shmctl()
                             shp = shm_obtain_object_check()

    shm_destroy()
      shum_unlock()
      fput(shp->shm_file)
                             ipc_lock_object()
                             shmem_lock(shp->shm_file)
                             <OOPS>

The oops is caused because shm_destroy() calls fput() after dropping the
ipc_lock.  fput() clears the file's f_inode, f_path.dentry, and
f_path.mnt, which causes various NULL pointer references in task 2.  I
reliably see the oops in task 2 if with shmlock, shmu

This patch fixes the races by:
1) set shm_file=NULL in shm_destroy() while holding ipc_object_lock().
2) modify at risk operations to check shm_file while holding
   ipc_object_lock().

Example workloads, which each trigger oops...

Workload 1:
  while true; do
    id=$(shmget 1 4096)
    shm_rmid $id &
    shmlock $id &
    wait
  done

  The oops stack shows accessing NULL f_inode due to racing fput:
    _raw_spin_lock
    shmem_lock
    SyS_shmctl

Workload 2:
  while true; do
    id=$(shmget 1 4096)
    shmat $id 4096 &
    shm_rmid $id &
    wait
  done

  The oops stack is similar to workload 1 due to NULL f_inode:
    touch_atime
    shmem_mmap
    shm_mmap
    mmap_region
    do_mmap_pgoff
    do_shmat
    SyS_shmat

Workload 3:
  while true; do
    id=$(shmget 1 4096)
    shmlock $id
    shm_rmid $id &
    shmunlock $id &
    wait
  done

  The oops stack shows second fput tripping on an NULL f_inode.  The
  first fput() completed via from shm_destroy(), but a racing thread did
  a get_file() and queued this fput():
    locks_remove_flock
    __fput
    ____fput
    task_work_run
    do_notify_resume
    int_signal

4e9b45a192 ipc, msg: fix message length check for negative values
On 64 bit systems the test for negative message sizes is bogus as the
size, which may be positive when evaluated as a long, will get truncated
to an int when passed to load_msg().  So a long might very well contain a
positive value but when truncated to an int it would become negative.

That in combination with a small negative value of msg_ctlmax (which will
be promoted to an unsigned type for the comparison against msgsz, making
it a big positive value and therefore make it pass the check) will lead to
two problems: 1/ The kmalloc() call in alloc_msg() will allocate a too
small buffer as the addition of alen is effectively a subtraction.  2/ The
copy_from_user() call in load_msg() will first overflow the buffer with
userland data and then, when the userland access generates an access
violation, the fixup handler copy_user_handle_tail() will try to fill the
remainder with zeros -- roughly 4GB.  That almost instantly results in a
system crash or reset.

  ,-[ Reproducer (needs to be run as root) ]--
  | #include <sys/stat.h>
  | #include <sys/msg.h>
  | #include <unistd.h>
  | #include <fcntl.h>
  |
  | int main(void) {
  |     long msg = 1;
  |     int fd;
  |
  |     fd = open("/proc/sys/kernel/msgmax", O_WRONLY);
  |     write(fd, "-1", 2);
  |     close(fd);
  |
  |     msgsnd(0, &msg, 0xfffffff0, IPC_NOWAIT);
  |
  |     return 0;
  | }
  '---

Fix the issue by preventing msgsz from getting truncated by consistently
using size_t for the message length.  This way the size checks in
do_msgsnd() could still be passed with a negative value for msg_ctlmax but
we would fail on the buffer allocation in that case and error out.

Also change the type of m_ts from int to size_t to avoid similar nastiness
in other code paths -- it is used in similar constructs, i.e.  signed vs.
unsigned checks.  It should never become negative under normal
circumstances, though.

Setting msg_ctlmax to a negative value is an odd configuration and should
be prevented.  As that might break existing userland, it will be handled
in a separate commit so it could easily be reverted and reworked without
reintroducing the above described bug.

Hardening mechanisms for user copy operations would have catched that bug
early -- e.g.  checking slab object sizes on user copy operations as the
usercopy feature of the PaX patch does.  Or, for that matter, detect the
long vs.  int sign change due to truncation, as the size overflow plugin
of the very same patch does.

b21996e36c locks: break delegations on unlink
We need to break delegations on any operation that changes the set of
links pointing to an inode.  Start with unlink.

Such operations also hold the i_mutex on a parent directory.  Breaking a
delegation may require waiting for a timeout (by default 90 seconds) in
the case of a unresponsive NFS client.  To avoid blocking all directory
operations, we therefore drop locks before waiting for the delegation.
The logic then looks like:

	acquire locks
	...
	test for delegation; if found:
		take reference on inode
		release locks
		wait for delegation break
		drop reference on inode
		retry

It is possible this could never terminate.  (Even if we take precautions
to prevent another delegation being acquired on the same inode, we could
get a different inode on each retry.)  But this seems very unlikely.

The initial test for a delegation happens after the lock on the target
inode is acquired, but the directory inode may have been acquired
further up the call stack.  We therefore add a "struct inode **"
argument to any intervening functions, which we use to pass the inode
back up to the caller in the case it needs a delegation synchronously
broken.

9bf76ca325 ipc, msg: forbid negative values for "msg{max,mnb,mni}"
Negative message lengths make no sense -- so don't do negative queue
lenghts or identifier counts. Prevent them from getting negative.

Also change the underlying data types to be unsigned to avoid hairy
surprises with sign extensions in cases where those variables get
evaluated in unsigned expressions with bigger data types, e.g size_t.

In case a user still wants to have "unlimited" sizes she could just use
INT_MAX instead.

6e224f9459 ipc/sem.c: synchronize semop and semctl with IPC_RMID
After acquiring the semlock spinlock, operations must test that the
array is still valid.

 - semctl() and exit_sem() would walk stale linked lists (ugly, but
   should be ok: all lists are empty)

 - semtimedop() would sleep forever - and if woken up due to a signal -
   access memory after free.

The patch also:
 - standardizes the tests for .deleted, so that all tests in one
   function leave the function with the same approach.
 - unconditionally tests for .deleted immediately after every call to
   sem_lock - even it it means that for semctl(GETALL), .deleted will be
   tested twice.

Both changes make the review simpler: After every sem_lock, there must
be a test of .deleted, followed by a goto to the cleanup code (if the
function uses "goto cleanup").

The only exception is semctl_down(): If sem_ids().rwsem is locked, then
the presence in ids->ipcs_idr is equivalent to !.deleted, thus no
additional test is required.

4271b05a22 ipc,msg: prevent race with rmid in msgsnd,msgrcv
This fixes a race in both msgrcv() and msgsnd() between finding the msg
and actually dealing with the queue, as another thread can delete shmid
underneath us if we are preempted before acquiring the
kern_ipc_perm.lock.

Manfred illustrates this nicely:

Assume a preemptible kernel that is preempted just after

    msq = msq_obtain_object_check(ns, msqid)

in do_msgrcv().  The only lock that is held is rcu_read_lock().

Now the other thread processes IPC_RMID.  When the first task is
resumed, then it will happily wait for messages on a deleted queue.

Fix this by checking for if the queue has been deleted after taking the
lock.

0e8c665699 ipc/sem.c: update sem_otime for all operations
In commit 0a2b9d4c79 ("ipc/sem.c: move wake_up_process out of the
spinlock section"), the update of semaphore's sem_otime(last semop time)
was moved to one central position (do_smart_update).

But since do_smart_update() is only called for operations that modify
the array, this means that wait-for-zero semops do not update sem_otime
anymore.

The fix is simple:
Non-alter operations must update sem_otime.

The proc interface is not aware of sem_lock(), it instead calls
ipc_lock_object() directly.  This means that simple semop() operations
can run in parallel with the proc interface.  Right now, this is
uncritical, because the implementation doesn't do anything that requires

6d07b68ce1 ipc/sem.c: optimize sem_lock()
Operations that need access to the whole array must guarantee that there
are no simple operations ongoing.  Right now this is achieved by
spin_unlock_wait(sem->lock) on all semaphores.

If complex_count is nonzero, then this spin_unlock_wait() is not
necessary, because it was already performed in the past by the thread
that increased complex_count and even though sem_perm.lock was dropped
inbetween, no simple operation could have started, because simple
operations cannot start when complex_count is non-zero.

5e9d527591 ipc/sem.c: fix race in sem_lock()
The exclusion of complex operations in sem_lock() is insufficient: after
acquiring the per-semaphore lock, a simple op must first check that
sem_perm.lock is not locked and only after that test check
complex_count.  The current code does it the other way around - and that
creates a race.  Details are below.

The patch is a complete rewrite of sem_lock(), based in part on the code
from Mike Galbraith.  It removes all gotos and all loops and thus the
risk of livelocks.

I have tested the patch (together with the next one) on my i3 laptop and
it didn't cause any problems.

The bug is probably also present in 3.10 and 3.11, but for these kernels
it might be simpler just to move the test of sma->complex_count after
the spin_is_locked() test.

Details of the bug:

Assume:
 - sma->complex_count = 0.
 - Thread 1: semtimedop(complex op that must sleep)
 - Thread 2: semtimedop(simple op).

53dad6d3a8 ipc: fix race with LSMs
Currently, IPC mechanisms do security and auditing related checks under
RCU.  However, since security modules can free the security structure,
for example, through selinux_[sem,msg_queue,shm]_free_security(), we can
race if the structure is freed before other tasks are done with it,
creating a use-after-free condition.  Manfred illustrates this nicely,
for instance with shared mem and selinux:

 -> do_shmat calls rcu_read_lock()
 -> do_shmat calls shm_object_check().
     Checks that the object is still valid - but doesn't acquire any locks.
     Then it returns.
 -> do_shmat calls security_shm_shmat (e.g. selinux_shm_shmat)
 -> selinux_shm_shmat calls ipc_has_perm()
 -> ipc_has_perm accesses ipc_perms->security

shm_close()
 -> shm_close acquires rw_mutex & shm_lock
 -> shm_close calls shm_destroy
 -> shm_destroy calls security_shm_free (e.g. selinux_shm_free_security)
 -> selinux_shm_free_security calls ipc_free_security(&shp->shm_perm)
 -> ipc_free_security calls kfree(ipc_perms->security)

This patch delays the freeing of the security structures after all RCU
readers are done.  Furthermore it aligns the security life cycle with
that of the rest of IPC - freeing them based on the reference counter.
For situations where we need not free security, the current behavior is
kept.  Linus states:

 "... the old behavior was suspect for another reason too: having the
  security blob go away from under a user sounds like it could cause
  various other problems anyway, so I think the old code was at least
  _prone_ to bugs even if it didn't have catastrophic behavior."

I have tested this patch with IPC testcases from LTP on both my
quad-core laptop and on a 64 core NUMA server.  In both cases selinux is
enabled, and tests pass for both voluntary and forced preemption models.
While the mentioned races are theoretical (at least no one as reported
them), I wanted to make sure that this new logic doesn't break anything
we weren't aware of.

Also, remove the redundant -EINVAL return: retval is set to the proper

05603c44a7 ipc: document general ipc locking scheme
As suggested by Andrew, add a generic initial locking scheme used
throughout all sysv ipc mechanisms.  Documenting the ids rwsem, how rcu
can be enough to do the initial checks and when to actually acquire the
kern_ipc_perm.lock spinlock.

I found that adding it to util.c was generic enough.

68eccc1dc3 ipc,shm: introduce shmctl_nolock
Similar to semctl and msgctl, when calling msgctl, the *_INFO and *_STAT
commands can be performed without acquiring the ipc object.

Add a shmctl_nolock() function and move the logic of *_INFO and *_STAT out
of msgctl().  Since we are just moving functionality, this change still
takes the lock and it will be properly lockless in the next patch.

8b8d52ac38 ipc,shm: introduce lockless functions to obtain the ipc object
This is the third and final patchset that deals with reducing the amount
of contention we impose on the ipc lock (kern_ipc_perm.lock).  These
changes mostly deal with shared memory, previous work has already been
done for semaphores and message queues:

  http://lkml.org/lkml/2013/3/20/546 (sems)
  http://lkml.org/lkml/2013/5/15/584 (mqueues)

With these patches applied, a custom shm microbenchmark stressing shmctl
doing IPC_STAT with 4 threads a million times, reduces the execution
time by 50%.  A similar run, this time with IPC_SET, reduces the
execution time from 3 mins and 35 secs to 27 seconds.

Patches 1-8: replaces blindly taking the ipc lock for a smarter
combination of rcu and ipc_obtain_object, only acquiring the spinlock
when updating.

Patch 9: renames the ids rw_mutex to rwsem, which is what it already was.

Patch 10: is a trivial mqueue leftover cleanup

Patch 11: adds a brief lock scheme description, requested by Andrew.

This patch:

Add shm_obtain_object() and shm_obtain_object_check(), which will allow us
to get the ipc object without acquiring the lock.  Just as with other
forms of ipc, these functions are basically wrappers around
ipc_obtain_object*().
