Merge speculative store buffer bypass fixes from Thomas Gleixner:
- rework of the SPEC_CTRL MSR management to accomodate the new fancy
SSBD (Speculative Store Bypass Disable) bit handling.
- the CPU bug and sysfs infrastructure for the exciting new Speculative
Store Bypass 'feature'.
- support for disabling SSB via LS_CFG MSR on AMD CPUs including
Hyperthread synchronization on ZEN.
- PRCTL support for dynamic runtime control of SSB
- SECCOMP integration to automatically disable SSB for sandboxed
processes with a filter flag for opt-out.
- KVM integration to allow guests fiddling with SSBD including the new
software MSR VIRT_SPEC_CTRL to handle the LS_CFG based oddities on
AMD.
- BPF protection against SSB
.. this is just the core and x86 side, other architecture support will
come separately.

proc_pid_cmdline_read() and environ_read() directly access the target
process' VM to retrieve the command line and environment. If this
process remaps these areas onto a file via mmap(), the requesting
process may experience various issues such as extra delays if the
underlying device is slow to respond.
Let's simply refuse to access file-backed areas in these functions.
For this we add a new FOLL_ANON gup flag that is passed to all calls
to access_remote_vm(). The code already takes care of such failures
(including unmapped areas). Accesses via /proc/pid/mem were not
changed though.
This was assigned CVE-2018-1120.
Note for stable backports: the patch may apply to kernels prior to 4.11
but silently miss one location; it must be checked that no call to
access_remote_vm() keeps zero as the last argument.

The existing kcore code checks for bad addresses against __va(0) with
the assumption that this is the lowest address on the system. This may
not hold true on some systems (e.g. arm64) and produce overflows and
crashes. Switch to using other functions to validate the address range.
It's currently only seen on arm64 and it's not clear if anyone wants to
use that particular combination on a stable release. So this is not
urgent for stable.

The swap offset reported by /proc/<pid>/pagemap may be not correct for
PMD migration entries. If addr passed into pagemap_pmd_range() isn't
aligned with PMD start address, the swap offset reported doesn't
reflect this. And in the loop to report information of each sub-page,
the swap offset isn't increased accordingly as that for PFN.
This may happen after opening /proc/<pid>/pagemap and seeking to a page
whose address doesn't align with a PMD start address. I have verified
this with a simple test program.
BTW: migration swap entries have PFN information, do we need to restrict
whether to show them?

These patches convert files in Documentation/vm to ReST format, add an

There are no contents changes in the documentation, except few spelling
fixes. The relatively large diffstat stems from the indentation and
paragraph wrapping changes.
I've tried to keep the formatting as consistent as possible, but I could
miss some places that needed markup and add some markup where it was not
necessary.

If module removes proc directory while another process pins it by
chdir'ing to it, then subsequent recreation of proc entry and all
entries down the tree will not be visible to any process until pinning
process unchdir from directory and unpins everything.
Steps to reproduce:
proc_mkdir("aaa", NULL);
proc_create("aaa/bbb", ...);
chdir("/proc/aaa");
remove_proc_entry("aaa/bbb", NULL);
remove_proc_entry("aaa", NULL);
proc_mkdir("aaa", NULL);
# inaccessible because "aaa" dentry still points
# to the original "aaa".
proc_create("aaa/bbb", ...);
Fix is to implement ->d_revalidate and ->d_delete.

Patch series "ipc: Clamp *mni to the real IPCMNI limit", v3.
The sysctl parameters msgmni, shmmni and semmni have an inherent limit
of IPC_MNI (32k). However, users may not be aware of that because they
can write a value much higher than that without getting any error or
notification. Reading the parameters back will show the newly written
values which are not real.
Enforcing the limit by failing sysctl parameter write, however, can
break existing user applications. To address this delemma, a new flags
field is introduced into the ctl_table. The value CTL_FLAGS_CLAMP_RANGE
can be added to any ctl_table entries to enable a looser range clamping
without returning any error. For example,
.flags = CTL_FLAGS_CLAMP_RANGE,
This flags value are now used for the range checking of shmmni, msgmni
and semmni without breaking existing applications. If any out of range
value is written to those sysctl parameters, the following warning will
be printed instead.
Kernel parameter "shmmni" was set out of range [0, 32768], clamped to 32768.
Reading the values back will show 32768 instead of some fake values.
This patch (of 6):
Fix a typo.

In a typical for /proc "open+read+close" usecase, dentry is looked up
successfully on open only to be killed in dput() on close. In fact
dentries which aren't /proc/*/... and /proc/sys/* were almost NEVER
CACHED. Simple printk in proc_lookup_de() shows that.
Now that ->delete hook intelligently picks which dentries should live in
dcache and which should not, rbtree caching is not necessary as dcache
does it job, at last!
As a side effect, struct proc_dir_entry shrinks by one pointer which can
go into inline name.

possible to make "struct proc_dir_entry" fixed sized and allocate same
amount of memory.
It buys fine-grained debugging with poisoning and usercopy protection
which is not possible with kmalloc-* caches.
Currently, on 32-bit 91+ byte allocations go into kmalloc-128 and on
64-bit 147+ byte allocations go to kmalloc-192 anyway.
Additional memory is allocated only for 38/46+ byte long names which are

seq_printf() works slower than seq_puts, seq_puts, etc.

seq_put_decimal_ull_w(m, str, val, width) prints a decimal number with a
specified minimal field width.
It is equivalent of seq_printf(m, "%s%*d", str, width, val), but it
works much faster.

The allocation is persistent in fact as any fool can open a file in
/proc and sit on it.

"struct pde_opener" is fixed size and we can have more granular approach
to debugging.
For those who don't know, per cache SLUB poisoning and red zoning don't
work if there is at least one object allocated which is hopeless in case
of kmalloc-64 but not in case of standalone cache. Although systemd
opens 2 files from the get go, so it is hopeless after all.

The whole point of code in fs/proc/inode.c is to make sure ->release
hook is called either at close() or at rmmod time.
All if it is unnecessary if there is no ->release hook.
Save allocation+list manipulations under spinlock in that case.

get_task_umask locks/unlocks the task on its own. The only caller does
the same thing immediately after.
Utilize the fact the task has to be locked anyway and just do it once.
Since there are no other users and the code is short, fold it in.
