Pull hardened usercopy fixes from Kees Cook: - inline copy_*_user() for correct use of __builtin_const_p() for hardened usercopy and the recent compile-time checks. - switch hardened usercopy to only check non-const size arguments to avoid meaningless checks on likely-sane const values. - update lkdtm usercopy tests to compenstate for the const checking. * tag 'usercopy-v4.8-rc6' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/kees/linux: lkdtm: adjust usercopy tests to bypass const checks usercopy: fold builtin_const check into inline function x86/uaccess: force copy_*_user() to be inlined

Pull rdma fixes from Doug Ledford: "This is the second pull request for the rdma subsystem. Most of the patches are small and obvious. I took two patches in that are larger than I wanted this late in the cycle. The first is the hfi1 patch that implements a work queue to test the QSFP read state. I originally rejected the first patch for this (which would have place up to 20 seconds worth of udelays in their probe routine). They then rewrote it the way I wanted (use delayed work tasks to wait asynchronously up to 20 seconds for the QSFP to come alive), so I can't really complain about the size of getting what I asked for :-/. The second is large because it switches the rcu locking in the debugfs code. Since a locking change like this is done all at once, the size it what it is. It resolves a litany of debug messages from the kernel, so I pulled it in for -rc. The rest are all typical -rc worthy patches I think. There will still be a third -rc pull request from the rdma subsystem this release. I hope to have that one ready to go by the end of this week or early next.

The hardened usercopy is now consistently avoiding checks against const sizes, since we really only want to perform runtime bounds checking on lengths that weren't known at build time. To test the hardened usercopy code, we must force the length arguments to be seen as non-const. Signed-off-by: Kees Cook <keescook@chromium.org>

Instead of having each caller of check_object_size() need to remember to check for a const size parameter, move the check into check_object_size() itself. This actually matches the original implementation in PaX, though this commit cleans up the now-redundant builtin_const() calls in the various architectures.

As already done with __copy_*_user(), mark copy_*_user() as __always_inline. Without this, the checks for things like __builtin_const_p() won't work consistently in either hardened usercopy nor the recent adjustments for detecting usercopy overflows at compile time.

In commit 8ead9dd5 ("devpts: more pty driver interface cleanups") I made devpts_get_priv() just return the dentry->fs_data directly. And because I thought it wouldn't happen, I added a warning if you ever saw a pts node that wasn't on devpts. And no, that warning never triggered under any actual real use, but you can trigger it by creating nonsensical pts nodes by hand. So just revert the warning, and make devpts_get_priv() return NULL for that case like it used to.

Commit e647b532 ("ACPI: Add early device probing infrastructure") introduced code that allows inserting driver specific struct acpi_probe_entry probe entries into ACPI linker sections (one per-subsystem, eg irqchip, clocksource) that are then walked to retrieve the data and function hooks required to probe the respective kernel components. Probing for all entries in a section is triggered through the __acpi_probe_device_table() function, that in turn, according to the table ID a given probe entry reports parses the table with the function retrieved from the respective section structures (ie struct acpi_probe_entry). Owing to the current ACPI table parsing implementation, the __acpi_probe_device_table() function has to share global variables with the acpi_match_madt() function, so in order to guarantee mutual exclusion locking is required between the two functions. Current kernel code implements the locking through the acpi_probe_lock spinlock; this has the side effect of requiring all code called within the lock (ie struct acpi_probe_entry.probe_{table/subtbl} hooks) not to sleep. However, kernel subsystems that make use of the early probing infrastructure are relying on kernel APIs that may sleep (eg irq_domain_alloc_fwnode(), among others) in the function calls pointed at by struct acpi_probe_entry.{probe_table/subtbl} entries (eg gic_v2_acpi_init()), which is a bug. Since __acpi_probe_device_table() is called from context that is allowed to sleep the acpi_probe_lock spinlock can be replaced with a mutex; this fixes the issue whilst still guaranteeing mutual exclusion.

When the ACPI_DECLARE_PROBE_ENTRY macro was added in commit e647b532 ("ACPI: Add early device probing infrastructure"), a stub macro adding an unused entry was added for the !CONFIG_ACPI Kconfig option case to make sure kernel code making use of the macro did not require to be guarded within CONFIG_ACPI in order to be compiled. The stub macro was never used since all kernel code that defines ACPI_DECLARE_PROBE_ENTRY entries is currently guarded within CONFIG_ACPI; it contains a typo that should be nonetheless fixed. Fix the typo in the stub (ie !CONFIG_ACPI) ACPI_DECLARE_PROBE_ENTRY() macro so that it can actually be used if needed.

The debugfs RCU trips many debug kernel warnings because of potential sleeps with an RCU read lock held. This includes both user copy calls and slab allocations throughout the file. This patch switches the RCU to use SRCU for file remove/access race protection. In one case, the SRCU is implicit in the use of the raw debugfs file object and just works. In the seq_file case, a wrapper around seq_read() and seq_lseek() is used to enforce the SRCU using the debugfs supplied functions debugfs_use_file_start() and debugfs_use_file_stop(). The sychronize_rcu() is deleted since the SRCU prevents the remove access race. The RCU locking is kept for qp_stats since the QP hash list is protected using the non-sleepable RCU.
