      NFS: Fix a tracepoint NULL-pointer dereference · 39d0d3bd
      Anna Schumaker authored 
      Running xfstest generic/013 with the tracepoint nfs:nfs4_open_file
enabled produces a NULL-pointer dereference when calculating fileid and
filehandle of the opened file.  Fix this by checking if state is NULL
before trying to use the inode pointer.

      strscpy: zero any trailing garbage bytes in the destination · 990486c8
      Chris Metcalf authored 
      It's possible that the destination can be shadowed in userspace
(as, for example, the perf buffers are now).  So we should take
care not to leak data that could be inspected by userspace.

      word-at-a-time.h: fix some Kbuild files · 19c22f3a
      Chris Metcalf authored 
      arch/tile added word-at-a-time.h after the patch that added generic-y
entries; the generic-y entry is now stale.

arch/h8300 is newer than the generic-y patch for word-at-a-time.h,
and needs a generic-y entry.

arch/powerpc seems to have gotten a generic-y entry by mistake in
the first patch; this change removes it.

call_break_hook is called in atomic context (hard irq disabled), so replace
the sleepable lock to rcu lock, replace relevant list operations to rcu
version and call synchronize_rcu() in unregister_break_hook().

And, replace write lock to spinlock in {un}register_break_hook.

      arm64: Don't relocate non-existent initrd · 4ca3bc86
      Mark Rutland authored 
      When booting a kernel without an initrd, the kernel reports that it
moves -1 bytes worth, having gone through the motions with initrd_start
equal to initrd_end:

    Moving initrd from [4080000000-407fffffff] to [9fff49000-9fff48fff]

Prevent this by bailing out early when the initrd size is zero (i.e. we
have no initrd), avoiding the confusing message and other associated
work.

      x86/xen/p2m: hint at the last populated P2M entry · 98dd166e
      David Vrabel authored 
      With commit 633d6f17 (x86/xen: prepare
p2m list for memory hotplug) the P2M may be sized to accomdate a much
larger amount of memory than the domain currently has.

When saving a domain, the toolstack must scan all the P2M looking for
populated pages.  This results in a performance regression due to the
unnecessary scanning.

Instead of reporting (via shared_info) the maximum possible size of
the P2M, hint at the last PFN which might be populated.  This hint is
increased as new leaves are added to the P2M (in the expectation that
they will be used for populated entries).

Convert patch_lock to raw loc kto avoid this issue.

Although the problem is found on rt kernel, the fix should be applicable to
mainline kernel too.

      arm64: readahead: fault retry breaks mmap file read random detection · 569ba74a
      Mark Salyzyn authored 
      This is the arm64 portion of commit 45cac65b ("readahead: fault
retry breaks mmap file read random detection"), which was absent from
the initial port and has since gone unnoticed. The original commit says:

> .fault now can retry.  The retry can break state machine of .fault.  In
> filemap_fault, if page is miss, ra->mmap_miss is increased.  In the second
> try, since the page is in page cache now, ra->mmap_miss is decreased.  And
> these are done in one fault, so we can't detect random mmap file access.
>
> Add a new flag to indicate .fault is tried once.  In the second try, skip
> ra->mmap_miss decreasing.  The filemap_fault state machine is ok with it.

With this change, Mark reports that:

> Random read improves by 250%, sequential read improves by 40%, and
> random write by 400% to an eMMC device with dm crypto wrapped around it.

      Merge branch 'strscpy' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/cmetcalf/linux-tile · 30c44659
      Linus Torvalds authored 
      Pull strscpy string copy function implementation from Chris Metcalf.

Chris sent this during the merge window, but I waffled back and forth on
the pull request, which is why it's going in only now.

The new "strscpy()" function is definitely easier to use and more secure
than either strncpy() or strlcpy(), both of which are horrible nasty
interfaces that have serious and irredeemable problems.

strncpy() has a useless return value, and doesn't NUL-terminate an
overlong result.  To make matters worse, it pads a short result with
zeroes, which is a performance disaster if you have big buffers.

strlcpy(), by contrast, is a mis-designed "fix" for strlcpy(), lacking
the insane NUL padding, but having a differently broken return value
which returns the original length of the source string.  Which means
that it will read characters past the count from the source buffer, and
you have to trust the source to be properly terminated.  It also makes
error handling fragile, since the test for overflow is unnecessarily
subtle.

strscpy() avoids both these problems, guaranteeing the NUL termination
(but not excessive padding) if the destination size wasn't zero, and
making the overflow condition very obvious by returning -E2BIG.  It also
doesn't read past the size of the source, and can thus be used for
untrusted source data too.

So why did I waffle about this for so long?

Every time we introduce a new-and-improved interface, people start doing
these interminable series of trivial conversion patches.

And every time that happens, somebody does some silly mistake, and the
conversion patch to the improved interface actually makes things worse.
Because the patch is mindnumbing and trivial, nobody has the attention
span to look at it carefully, and it's usually done over large swatches
of source code which means that not every conversion gets tested.

So I'm pulling the strscpy() support because it *is* a better interface.
But I will refuse to pull mindless conversion patches.  Use this in
places where it makes sense, but don't do trivial patches to fix things
that aren't actually known to be broken.

* 'strscpy' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/cmetcalf/linux-tile:
  tile: use global strscpy() rather than private copy
  string: provide strscpy()
  Make asm/word-at-a-time.h available on all architectures
