644473e9c6 Merge branch 'for-linus' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/ebiederm/user-namespace
Pull user namespace enhancements from Eric Biederman:
 "This is a course correction for the user namespace, so that we can
  reach an inexpensive, maintainable, and reasonably complete
  implementation.

  Highlights:
   - Config guards make it impossible to enable the user namespace and
     code that has not been converted to be user namespace safe.

   - Use of the new kuid_t type ensures the if you somehow get past the
     config guards the kernel will encounter type errors if you enable
     user namespaces and attempt to compile in code whose permission
     checks have not been updated to be user namespace safe.

   - All uids from child user namespaces are mapped into the initial
     user namespace before they are processed.  Removing the need to add
     an additional check to see if the user namespace of the compared
     uids remains the same.

   - With the user namespaces compiled out the performance is as good or
     better than it is today.

   - For most operations absolutely nothing changes performance or
     operationally with the user namespace enabled.

   - The worst case performance I could come up with was timing 1
     billion cache cold stat operations with the user namespace code
     enabled.  This went from 156s to 164s on my laptop (or 156ns to
     164ns per stat operation).

   - (uid_t)-1 and (gid_t)-1 are reserved as an internal error value.
     Most uid/gid setting system calls treat these value specially
     anyway so attempting to use -1 as a uid would likely cause
     entertaining failures in userspace.

   - If setuid is called with a uid that can not be mapped setuid fails.
     I have looked at sendmail, login, ssh and every other program I
     could think of that would call setuid and they all check for and
     handle the case where setuid fails.

   - If stat or a similar system call is called from a context in which
     we can not map a uid we lie and return overflowuid.  The LFS
     experience suggests not lying and returning an error code might be
     better, but the historical precedent with uids is different and I
     can not think of anything that would break by lying about a uid we
     can't map.

   - Capabilities are localized to the current user namespace making it
     safe to give the initial user in a user namespace all capabilities.

  My git tree covers all of the modifications needed to convert the core
  kernel and enough changes to make a system bootable to runlevel 1."

356c05d58a sysfs: get rid of some lockdep false positives
This patch (as1554) fixes a lockdep false-positive report.  The
problem arises because lockdep is unable to deal with the
tree-structured locks created by the device core and sysfs.

This particular problem involves a sysfs attribute method that
unregisters itself, not from the device it was called for, but from a
descendant device.  Lockdep doesn't understand the distinction and
reports a possible deadlock, even though the operation is safe.

This is the sort of thing that would normally be handled by using a
nested lock annotation; unfortunately it's not feasible to do that
here.  There's no sensible way to tell sysfs when attribute removal
occurs in the context of a parent attribute method.

As a workaround, the patch adds a new flag to struct attribute
telling sysfs not to inform lockdep when it acquires a readlock on a
sysfs_dirent instance for the attribute.  The readlock is still
acquired, but lockdep doesn't know about it and hence does not
complain about impossible deadlock scenarios.

Also added are macros for static initialization of attribute
structures with the ignore_lockdep flag set.  The three offending
attributes in the USB subsystem are converted to use the new macros.

3a198886ab sysfs: handle 'parent deleted before child added'
In scsi at least two cases of the parent device being deleted before the
child is added have been observed.

1/ scsi is performing async scans and the device is removed prior to the
   async can thread running (can happen with an in-opportune / unlikely
   unplug during initial scan).

2/ libsas discovery event running after the parent port has been torn
   down (this is a bug in libsas).

Result in crash signatures like:

In this scenario the parent is still valid (because we have a
reference), but it has been device_del()'d which means its kobj->sd
pointer is NULL'd via:

 device_del()->kobject_del()->sysfs_remove_dir()

...and then sysfs_create_dir() (without this fix) goes ahead and
de-references parent_sd via sysfs_ns_type():

 return (sd->s_flags & SYSFS_NS_TYPE_MASK) >> SYSFS_NS_TYPE_SHIFT;

This scenario is being fixed in scsi/libsas, but if other subsystems
present the same ordering the system need not immediately crash.

93518dd2eb sysfs: Fix memory leak in sysfs_sd_setsecdata().
This patch fixies follwing two memory leak patterns that reported by kmemleak.
sysfs_sd_setsecdata() is called during sys_lsetxattr() operation.
It checks sd->s_iattr is NULL or not. Then if it is NULL, it calls
sysfs_init_inode_attrs() to allocate memory.
That code is this.

iattrs = sd->s_iattr;
if (!iattrs)
                iattrs = sysfs_init_inode_attrs(sd);

The iattrs recieves sysfs_init_inode_attrs()'s result,  but sd->s_iattr
doesn't know the address. so it needs to set correct address to
sd->s_iattr to free memory in other function.

524b6c5b39 sysfs: Kill nlink counting.
Tracking the number of subdirectories requires an extra field that increases
the size of sysfs_dirent.  nlinks are not particularly interesting for sysfs
and the nlink counts are wrong when network namespaces are involved so stop
counting them, and always return nlink == 1.  Userspace already knows that
directories with nlink == 1 have an nlink count they can't use to count
subdirectories.

This reduces the size of sysfs_dirent by 8 bytes on 64bit platforms.

4e4d6d860b sysfs: Add s_hash to sysfs_dirent and order directory entries by hash
Compute a 31 bit hash of directory entries (that can fit in a signed
32bit off_t) and index the sysfs directory entries by that hash,
replacing the per directory indexes by name and by inode.  Because we
now only use a single rbtree this reduces the size of sysfs_dirent by 2
pointers.  Because we have fewer cases to deal with the code is now
simpler.

For now I use the simple hash that the dcache uses as that is easy to
use and seems simple enough.

In addition to makeing the code simpler using a hash for the file
position in readdir brings sysfs in line with other filesystems that
have non-trivial directory structures.

ce59791936 sysfs: Complain bitterly about attempts to remove files from nonexistent directories.
Recently an OOPS was observed from the usb serial io_ti driver when it tried to remove
sysfs directories.  Upon investigation it turns out this driver was always buggy
and that a recent sysfs change had stopped guarding itself against removing attributes
from sysfs directories that had already been removed. :(

Historically we have been silent about attempting to files from nonexistent sysfs
directories and have politely returned error codes.  That has resulted in people writing
broken code that ignores the error codes.

Issue a kernel WARNING and a stack backtrace to make it clear in no uncertain
terms that abusing sysfs is not ok, and the callers need to fix their code.

This change transforms the io_ti OOPS into a more comprehensible error message
and stack backtrace.

f6d90b4f9c sysfs: Make sysfs_rename safe with sysfs_dirents in rbtrees.
In sysfs_rename we need to remove the optimization of not calling
sysfs_unlink_sibling and sysfs_link_sibling if the renamed parent
directory is not changing.  This optimization is no longer valid now
that sysfs dirents are stored in an rbtree sorted by name.

Move the assignment of s_ns before the call of sysfs_link_sibling.  With
no sysfs_dirent fields changing after the call of sysfs_link_sibling
this allows sysfs_link_sibling to take any of the directory entries into
account when it builds the rbtrees, and s_ns looks like a prime canidate
to be used in the rbtree in the future.

b9e2780d57 sysfs: Remove support for tagged directories with untagged members (again)
In commit 8a9ea3237e ("Merge git://.../davem/net-next") where my sysfs
changes from the net tree merged with the sysfs rbtree changes from
Mickulas Patocka the conflict resolution failed to preserve the
simplified property that was the point of my changes.

That is sysfs_find_dirent can now say something is a match if and only
s_name and s_ns match what we are looking for, and sysfs_readdir can
simply return all of the directory entries where s_ns matches the
directory that we should be returning.

Now that we are back to exact matches we can tweak sysfs_find_dirent and
the name rb_tree to order sysfs_dirents by s_ns s_name and remove the
second loop in sysfs_find_dirent.  However that change seems a bit much
for a conflict resolution so it can come later.

903e21e2ee sysfs: Reject with a warning invalid uses of tagged directories.
sysfs is a core piece of ifrastructure that many people use and
few people have all of the rules in their head on how to use
it correctly.  Add warnings for people using tagged directories
improperly to that any misuses can be caught and diagnosed quickly.

A single inexpensive test in sysfs_find_dirent is almost sufficient
to catch all possible misuses.  An additional warning is needed
in sysfs_add_dirent so that we actually fail when attempting to
add an untagged dirent in a tagged directory.

Now that /sys/class/net/bonding_masters is implemented as a tagged sysfs
file we can remove support for untagged files in tagged directories.

This change removes any ambiguity of what a NULL namespace value
means.  A NULL namespace parameter after this patch means
that we are talking about an untagged sysfs dirent.

This makes the sysfs code much less prone to mistakes when during
maintenance.

487505c257 sysfs: Implement support for tagged files in sysfs.
Looking up files in sysfs is hard to understand and analyize because we
currently allow placing untagged files in tagged directories.  In the
implementation of that we have two subtly different meanings of NULL.
NULL meaning there is no tag on a directory entry and NULL meaning
we don't care which namespace the lookup is performed for.  This
multiple uses of NULL have resulted in subtle bugs (since fixed)
in the code.

Currently it is only the bonding driver that needs to have an untagged
file in a tagged directory.

To untagle this mess I am adding support for tagged files to sysfs.
Modifying the bonding driver to implement bonding_masters as a tagged
file.  Registering bonding_masters once for each network namespace.
Then I am removing support for untagged entries in tagged sysfs
directories.

Resulting in code that is much easier to reason about.

a685e08987 Delay struct net freeing while there's a sysfs instance refering to it
* new refcount in struct net, controlling actual freeing of the memory
	* new method in kobj_ns_type_operations (->drop_ns())
	* ->current_ns() semantics change - it's supposed to be followed by
corresponding ->drop_ns().  For struct net in case of CONFIG_NET_NS it bumps
the new refcount; net_drop_ns() decrements it and calls net_free() if the
last reference has been dropped.  Method renamed to ->grab_current_ns().
	* old net_free() callers call net_drop_ns() instead.
	* sysfs_exit_ns() is gone, along with a large part of callchain
leading to it; now that the references stored in ->ns[...] stay valid we
do not need to hunt them down and replace them with NULL.  That fixes
problems in sysfs_lookup() and sysfs_readdir(), along with getting rid
of sb->s_instances abuse.

	Note that struct net *shutdown* logics has not changed - net_cleanup()
is called exactly when it used to be called.  The only thing postponed by
having a sysfs instance refering to that struct net is actual freeing of
memory occupied by struct net.

82a3242e11 sysfs: remove "last sysfs file:" line from the oops messages
On some arches (x86, sh, arm, unicore, powerpc) the oops message would
print out the last sysfs file accessed.

This was very useful in finding a number of sysfs and driver core bugs
in the 2.5 and early 2.6 development days, but it has been a number of
years since this file has actually helped in debugging anything that
couldn't also be trivially determined from the stack traceback.

So it's time to delete the line.  This is good as we need all the space
we can get for oops messages at times on consoles.

6a108a14fa kconfig: rename CONFIG_EMBEDDED to CONFIG_EXPERT
The meaning of CONFIG_EMBEDDED has long since been obsoleted; the option
is used to configure any non-standard kernel with a much larger scope than
only small devices.

This patch renames the option to CONFIG_EXPERT in init/Kconfig and fixes
references to the option throughout the kernel.  A new CONFIG_EMBEDDED
option is added that automatically selects CONFIG_EXPERT when enabled and
can be used in the future to isolate options that should only be
considered for embedded systems (RISC architectures, SLOB, etc).

Calling the option "EXPERT" more accurately represents its intention: only
expert users who understand the impact of the configuration changes they
are making should enable it.
