      NFS: Fix /proc/fs/nfsfs/servers and /proc/fs/nfsfs/volumes · 65b38851
      Eric W. Biederman authored
      The usage of pid_ns->child_reaper->nsproxy->net_ns in
      nfs_server_list_open and nfs_client_list_open is not safe.
      
      /proc for a pid namespace can remain mounted after the all of the
      process in that pid namespace have exited.  There are also times
      before the initial process in a pid namespace has started or after the
      initial process in a pid namespace has exited where
      pid_ns->child_reaper can be NULL or stale.  Making the idiom
      pid_ns->child_reaper->nsproxy a double whammy of problems.
      
      Luckily all that needs to happen is to move /proc/fs/nfsfs/servers and
      /proc/fs/nfsfs/volumes under /proc/net to /proc/net/nfsfs/servers and
      /proc/net/nfsfs/volumes and add a symlink from the original location,
      and to use seq_open_net as it has been designed.

      mnt: Add tests for unprivileged remount cases that have found to be faulty · db181ce0
      Eric W. Biederman authored
      Kenton Varda <kenton@sandstorm.io> discovered that by remounting a
      read-only bind mount read-only in a user namespace the
      MNT_LOCK_READONLY bit would be cleared, allowing an unprivileged user
      to the remount a read-only mount read-write.
      
      Upon review of the code in remount it was discovered that the code allowed
      nosuid, noexec, and nodev to be cleared.  It was also discovered that
      the code was allowing the per mount atime flags to be changed.
      
      The first naive patch to fix these issues contained the flaw that using
      default atime settings when remounting a filesystem could be disallowed.
      
      To avoid this problems in the future add tests to ensure unprivileged
      remounts are succeeding and failing at the appropriate times.

      mnt: Change the default remount atime from relatime to the existing value · ffbc6f0e
      Eric W. Biederman authored
      Since March 2009 the kernel has treated the state that if no
      MS_..ATIME flags are passed then the kernel defaults to relatime.
      
      Defaulting to relatime instead of the existing atime state during a
      remount is silly, and causes problems in practice for people who don't
      specify any MS_...ATIME flags and to get the default filesystem atime
      setting.  Those users may encounter a permission error because the
      default atime setting does not work.
      
      A default that does not work and causes permission problems is
      ridiculous, so preserve the existing value to have a default
      atime setting that is always guaranteed to work.
      
      Using the default atime setting in this way is particularly
      interesting for applications built to run in restricted userspace
      environments without /proc mounted, as the existing atime mount
      options of a filesystem can not be read from /proc/mounts.
      
      In practice this fixes user space that uses the default atime
      setting on remount that are broken by the permission checks
      keeping less privileged users from changing more privileged users
      atime settings.

      mnt: Correct permission checks in do_remount · 9566d674
      Eric W. Biederman authored
      While invesgiating the issue where in "mount --bind -oremount,ro ..."
      would result in later "mount --bind -oremount,rw" succeeding even if
      the mount started off locked I realized that there are several
      additional mount flags that should be locked and are not.
      
      In particular MNT_NOSUID, MNT_NODEV, MNT_NOEXEC, and the atime
      flags in addition to MNT_READONLY should all be locked.  These
      flags are all per superblock, can all be changed with MS_BIND,
      and should not be changable if set by a more privileged user.
      
      The following additions to the current logic are added in this patch.
      - nosuid may not be clearable by a less privileged user.
      - nodev  may not be clearable by a less privielged user.
      - noexec may not be clearable by a less privileged user.
      - atime flags may not be changeable by a less privileged user.
      
      The logic with atime is that always setting atime on access is a
      global policy and backup software and auditing software could break if
      atime bits are not updated (when they are configured to be updated),
      and serious performance degradation could result (DOS attack) if atime
      updates happen when they have been explicitly disabled.  Therefore an
      unprivileged user should not be able to mess with the atime bits set
      by a more privileged user.
      
      The additional restrictions are implemented with the addition of
      MNT_LOCK_NOSUID, MNT_LOCK_NODEV, MNT_LOCK_NOEXEC, and MNT_LOCK_ATIME
      mnt flags.
      
      Taken together these changes and the fixes for MNT_LOCK_READONLY
      should make it safe for an unprivileged user to create a user
      namespace and to call "mount --bind -o remount,... ..." without
      the danger of mount flags being changed maliciously.

      mnt: Move the test for MNT_LOCK_READONLY from change_mount_flags into do_remount · 07b64558
      Eric W. Biederman authored
      There are no races as locked mount flags are guaranteed to never change.
      
      Moving the test into do_remount makes it more visible, and ensures all
      filesystem remounts pass the MNT_LOCK_READONLY permission check.  This
      second case is not an issue today as filesystem remounts are guarded
      by capable(CAP_DAC_ADMIN) and thus will always fail in less privileged
      mount namespaces, but it could become an issue in the future.

      mnt: Only change user settable mount flags in remount · a6138db8
      Eric W. Biederman authored
      Kenton Varda <kenton@sandstorm.io> discovered that by remounting a
      read-only bind mount read-only in a user namespace the
      MNT_LOCK_READONLY bit would be cleared, allowing an unprivileged user
      to the remount a read-only mount read-write.
      
      Correct this by replacing the mask of mount flags to preserve
      with a mask of mount flags that may be changed, and preserve
      all others.   This ensures that any future bugs with this mask and
      remount will fail in an easy to detect way where new mount flags
      simply won't change.

      namespaces: Use task_lock and not rcu to protect nsproxy · 728dba3a
      Eric W. Biederman authored
      The synchronous syncrhonize_rcu in switch_task_namespaces makes setns
      a sufficiently expensive system call that people have complained.
      
      Upon inspect nsproxy no longer needs rcu protection for remote reads.
      remote reads are rare.  So optimize for same process reads and write
      by switching using rask_lock instead.
      
      This yields a simpler to understand lock, and a faster setns system call.
      
      In particular this fixes a performance regression observed
      by Rafael David Tinoco <rafael.tinoco@canonical.com>.
      
      This is effectively a revert of Pavel Emelyanov's commit
      cf7b708c Make access to task's nsproxy lighter
      from 2007.  The race this originialy fixed no longer exists as
      do_notify_parent uses task_active_pid_ns(parent) instead of
      parent->nsproxy.

      btrfs: test for valid bdev before kobj removal in btrfs_rm_device · 0bfaa9c5
      Eric Sandeen authored
      commit 99994cde btrfs: dev delete should remove sysfs entry
      added a btrfs_kobj_rm_device, which dereferences device->bdev...
      right after we check whether device->bdev might be NULL.
      
      I don't honestly know if it's possible to have a NULL device->bdev
      here, but assuming that it is (given the test), we need to move
      the kobject removal to be under that test.

      Btrfs: fix abnormal long waiting in fsync · 98ce2ded
      Liu Bo authored
      xfstests generic/127 detected this problem.
      
      With commit 7fc34a62, now fsync will only flush
      data within the passed range.  This is the cause of the above problem,
      -- btrfs's fsync has a stage called 'sync log' which will wait for all the
      ordered extents it've recorded to finish.
      
      In xfstests/generic/127, with mixed operations such as truncate, fallocate,
      punch hole, and mapwrite, we get some pre-allocated extents, and mapwrite will
      mmap, and then msync.  And I find that msync will wait for quite a long time
      (about 20s in my case), thanks to ftrace, it turns out that the previous
      fallocate calls 'btrfs_wait_ordered_range()' to flush dirty pages, but as the
      range of dirty pages may be larger than 'btrfs_wait_ordered_range()' wants,
      there can be some ordered extents created but not getting corresponding pages
      flushed, then they're left in memory until we fsync which runs into the
      stage 'sync log', and fsync will just wait for the system writeback thread
      to flush those pages and get ordered extents finished, so the latency is
      inevitable.
      
      This adds a flush similar to btrfs_start_ordered_extent() in
      btrfs_wait_logged_extents() to fix that.

      Pull ACPI and power management fixes from Rafael Wysocki:
       "These are a few recent regression fixes, a revert of the ACPI video
        commit I promised, a system resume fix related to request_firmware(),
        an ACPI video quirk for one more Win8-oriented BIOS, an ACPI device
        enumeration documentation update and a few fixes for ARM cpufreq
        drivers.
      
        Specifics:
      
         - Fix for a recently introduced NULL pointer dereference in the core
           system suspend code occuring when platforms without ACPI attempt to
           use the "freeze" sleep state from Zhang Rui.
      
         - Fix for a recently introduced build warning in cpufreq headers from
           Brian W Hart.
      
         - Fix for a 3.13 cpufreq regression related to sysem resume that
           triggers on some systems with multiple CPU clusters from Viresh
           Kumar.
      
         - Fix for a 3.4 regression in request_firmware() resulting in
           WARN_ON()s on some systems during system resume from Takashi Iwai.
      
         - Revert of the ACPI video commit that changed the default value of
           the video.brightness_switch_enabled command line argument to 0 as
           it has been reported to break existing setups.
      
         - ACPI device enumeration documentation update to take recent code
           changes into account and make the documentation match the code
           again from Darren Hart.
      
         - Fixes for the sa1110, imx6q, kirkwood, and cpu0 cpufreq drivers
           from Linus Walleij, Nicolas Del Piano, Quentin Armitage, Viresh
           Kumar.
      
         - New ACPI video blacklist entry for HP ProBook 4540s from Hans de
           Goede"

      random: check for increase of entropy_count because of signed conversion · 79a84687
      Hannes Frederic Sowa authored
      The expression entropy_count -= ibytes << (ENTROPY_SHIFT + 3) could
      actually increase entropy_count if during assignment of the unsigned
      expression on the RHS (mind the -=) we reduce the value modulo
      2^width(int) and assign it to entropy_count. Trinity found this.
      
      [ Commit modified by tytso to add an additional safety check for a
        negative entropy_count -- which should never happen, and to also add
        an additional paranoia check to prevent overly large count values to
        be passed into urandom_read().  ]

      ARM: EXYNOS: Fix core ID used by platsmp and hotplug code · 9637f30e
      Tomasz Figa authored
      When CPU topology is specified in device tree, cpu_logical_map() does
      not return core ID anymore, but rather full MPIDR value. This breaks
      existing calculation of PMU register offsets on Exynos SoCs.
      
      This patch fixes the problem by adjusting the code to use only core ID
      bits of the value returned by cpu_logical_map() to allow CPU topology to
      be specified in device tree on Exynos SoCs.
