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.

Pull tracing fix from Steven Rostedt: "Some of the ftrace internal events use a zero for a data size of a field event. This is increasingly important for the histogram trigger work that is being extended. While auditing trace events, I found that a couple of the xen events were used as just marking that a function was called, by creating a static array of size zero. This can play havoc with the tracing features if these events are used, because a zero size of a static array is denoted as a special nul terminated dynamic array (this is what the trace_marker code uses). But since the xen events have no size, they are not nul terminated, and unexpected results may occur. As trace events were never intended on being a marker to denote that a function was hit or not, especially since function tracing and kprobes can trivially do the same, the best course of action is to simply remove these events" * tag 'trace-v4.17-rc4-2' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/rostedt/linux-trace: tracing/x86/xen: Remove zero data size trace events trace_xen_mmu_flush_tlb{_all}

Reviewing Tobin's patches for getting pointers out early before entropy has been established, I noticed that there's a lone smp_mb() in the code. As with most lone memory barriers, this one appears to be incorrectly used. We currently basically have this: get_random_bytes(&ptr_key, sizeof(ptr_key)); /* * have_filled_random_ptr_key==true is dependent on get_random_bytes(). * ptr_to_id() needs to see have_filled_random_ptr_key==true * after get_random_bytes() returns. */ smp_mb(); WRITE_ONCE(have_filled_random_ptr_key, true); And later we have: if (unlikely(!have_filled_random_ptr_key)) return string(buf, end, "(ptrval)", spec); /* Missing memory barrier here. */ hashval = (unsigned long)siphash_1u64((u64)ptr, &ptr_key); As the CPU can perform speculative loads, we could have a situation with the following: CPU0 CPU1 ---- ---- load ptr_key = 0 store ptr_key = random smp_mb() store have_filled_random_ptr_key load have_filled_random_ptr_key = true BAD BAD BAD! (you're so bad!) Because nothing prevents CPU1 from loading ptr_key before loading have_filled_random_ptr_key. But this race is very unlikely, but we can't keep an incorrect smp_mb() in place. Instead, replace the have_filled_random_ptr_key with a static_branch not_filled_random_ptr_key, that is initialized to true and changed to false when we get enough entropy. If the update happens in early boot, the static_key is updated immediately, otherwise it will have to wait till entropy is filled and this happens in an interrupt handler which can't enable a static_key, as that requires a preemptible context. In that case, a work_queue is used to enable it, as entropy already took too long to establish in the first place waiting a little more shouldn't hurt anything. The benefit of using the static key is that the unlikely branch in vsprintf() now becomes a nop.

Pull AFS fixes from David Howells: "Here's a set of patches that fix a number of bugs in the in-kernel AFS client, including: - Fix directory locking to not use individual page locks for directory reading/scanning but rather to use a semaphore on the afs_vnode struct as the directory contents must be read in a single blob and data from different reads must not be mixed as the entire contents may be shuffled about between reads. - Fix address list parsing to handle port specifiers correctly. - Only give up callback records on a server if we actually talked to that server (we might not be able to access a server). - Fix some callback handling bugs, including refcounting, whole-volume callbacks and when callbacks actually get broken in response to a CB.CallBack op. - Fix some server/address rotation bugs, including giving up if we can't probe a server; giving up if a server says it doesn't have a volume, but there are more servers to try. - Fix the decoding of fetched statuses to be OpenAFS compatible. - Fix the handling of server lookups in Cache Manager ops (such as CB.InitCallBackState3) to use a UUID if possible and to handle no server being found. - Fix a bug in server lookup where not all addresses are compared. - Fix the non-encryption of calls that prevents some servers from being accessed (this also requires an AF_RXRPC patch that has already gone in through the net tree).

Calling qdio_release_memory() on error is just plain wrong. It frees the main qdio_irq struct, when following code still uses it. Also, no other error path in qdio_establish() does this. So trust callers to clean up via qdio_free() if some step of the QDIO initialization fails. Fixes: 779e6e1c ("[S390] qdio: new qdio driver.")

Ever since CQ/QAOB support was added, calling qdio_free() straight after qdio_alloc() results in qdio_release_memory() accessing uninitialized memory (ie. q->u.out.use_cq and q->u.out.aobs). Followed by a kmem_cache_free() on the random AOB addresses. For older kernels that don't have 6e30c549, the same applies if qdio_establish() fails in the DEV_STATE_ONLINE check. While initializing q->u.out.use_cq would be enough to fix this particular bug, the more future-proof change is to just zero-alloc the whole struct.

Doing an audit of trace events, I discovered two trace events in the xen subsystem that use a hack to create zero data size trace events. This is not what trace events are for. Trace events add memory footprint overhead, and if all you need to do is see if a function is hit or not, simply make that function noinline and use function tracer filtering. Worse yet, the hack used was: __array(char, x, 0) Which creates a static string of zero in length. There's assumptions about such constructs in ftrace that this is a dynamic string that is nul terminated. This is not the case with these tracepoints and can cause problems in various parts of ftrace. Nuke the trace events!

Since sctp_bindx() and sctp_connectx() can have multiple addresses, sk_family can differ from sa_family. Therefore, selinux_socket_bind() and selinux_socket_connect_helper(), which process sockaddr structure (address and port), should use the address family from that structure too, and not from the socket one. The initialization of the data for the audit record is moved above, in selinux_socket_bind(), so that there is no duplicate changes and code.

Commit d452930f ("selinux: Add SCTP support") breaks compatibility with the old programs that can pass sockaddr_in structure with AF_UNSPEC and INADDR_ANY to bind(). As a result, bind() returns EAFNOSUPPORT error. This was found with LTP/asapi_01 test. Similar to commit 29c486df ("net: ipv4: relax AF_INET check in bind()"), which relaxed AF_INET check for compatibility, add AF_UNSPEC case to AF_INET and make sure that the address is INADDR_ANY.

Some AFS servers refuse to accept unencrypted traffic, so can't be accessed with kAFS. Set the AF_RXRPC security level to encrypt client calls to deal with this. Note that incoming service calls are set by the remote client and so aren't affected by this. This requires an AF_RXRPC patch to pass the value set by setsockopt to calls begun by the kernel.

The handling of CB.CallBack messages sent by the fileserver to the client is broken in that they are currently being processed after the reply has been transmitted. This is not what the fileserver expects, however. It holds up change visibility until the reply comes so as to maintain cache coherency, and so expects the client to have to refetch the state on the affected files. Fix CB.CallBack handling to perform the callback break before sending the reply. The fileserver is free to hold up status fetches issued by other threads on the same client that occur in reponse to the callback until any pending changes have been committed.

It's possible for an AFS file server to issue a whole-volume notification that callbacks on all the vnodes in the file have been broken. This is done for R/O and backup volumes (which don't have per-file callbacks) and for things like a volume being taken offline.

The code that looks up servers by addresses makes the assumption that the list of addresses for a server is sorted. It exits the loop if it finds that the target address is larger than the current candidate. As the list is not currently sorted, this can lead to a failure to find a matching server, which can cause callbacks from that server to be ignored. Remove the early exit case so that the complete list is searched.

If a volume location record lists multiple file servers for a volume, then it's possible that due to a misconfiguration or a changing configuration that one of the file servers doesn't know about it yet and will abort VNOVOL.

(b) If errorCode == 0 then the status record is invalid. (2) If InterfaceVersion == 1 then: (a) If errorCode != 0 then it indicates the abort code for the corresponding vnode. (b) If errorCode == 0 then the status record is valid and can be parsed. (3) If InterfaceVersion is anything else then the status record is invalid.

When a server record is destroyed, we want to send a message to the server telling it that we're giving up all the callbacks it has promised us.

We assume this to be the case if we performed at least one successful FS operation on that server.

The afs directory loading code (primarily afs_read_dir()) locks all the pages that hold a directory's content blob to defend against getdents/getdents races and getdents/lookup races where the competitors issue conflicting reads on the same data. As the reads will complete consecutively, they may retrieve different versions of the data and one may overwrite the data that the other is busy parsing. Fix this by not locking the pages at all, but rather by turning the validation lock into an rwsem and getting an exclusive lock on it whilst reading the data or validating the attributes and a shared lock whilst parsing the data. Sharing the attribute validation lock should be fine as the data fetch will retrieve the attributes also. The individual page locks aren't needed at all as the only place they're being used is to serialise data loading. Without this patch, the: if (!test_bit(AFS_VNODE_DIR_VALID, &dvnode->flags)) { ... } part of afs_read_dir() may be skipped, leaving the pages unlocked when we hit the success: clause - in which case we try to unlock the not-locked pages, leading to the following oops: page:ffffe38b405b4300 count:3 mapcount:0 mapping:ffff98156c83a978 index:0x0 flags: 0xfffe000001004(referenced|private) raw: 000fffe000001004 ffff98156c83a978 0000000000000000 00000003ffffffff raw: dead000000000100 dead000000000200 0000000000000001 ffff98156b27c000 page dumped because: VM_BUG_ON_PAGE(!PageLocked(page)) page->mem_cgroup:ffff98156b27c000 ------------[ cut here ]------------ kernel BUG at mm/filemap.c:1205! ...

If DMA_ATTR_NO_WARN is passed to swiotlb_alloc_buffer(), it should be passed further down to swiotlb_tbl_map_single(). Otherwise we escape half of the warnings but still log the other half.

This reverts commit 7347fc87. Srikar Dronamra pointed out that while the commit in question did show a performance improvement on ppc64, it did so at the cost of disabling active CPU migration by automatic NUMA balancing which was not the intent. The issue was that a serious flaw in the logic failed to ever active balance if SD_WAKE_AFFINE was disabled on scheduler domains. Even when it's enabled, the logic is still bizarre and against the original intent. Investigation showed that fixing the patch in either the way he suggested, using the correct comparison for jiffies values or introducing a new numa_migrate_deferred variable in task_struct all perform similarly to a revert with a mix of gains and losses depending on the workload, machine and socket count. The original intent of the commit was to handle a problem whereby wake_affine, idle balancing and automatic NUMA balancing disagree on the appropriate placement for a task. This was particularly true for cases where a single task was a massive waker of tasks but where wake_wide logic did not apply. This was particularly noticeable when a futex (a barrier) woke all worker threads and tried pulling the wakees to the waker nodes. In that specific case, it could be handled by tuning MPI or openMP appropriately, but the behavior is not illogical and was worth attempting to fix. However, the approach was wrong. Given that we're at rc4 and a fix is not obvious, it's better to play safe, revert this commit and retry later.
