Commit 9ba4bcb6 ("initramfs: read CONFIG_RD_ variables for initramfs compression") removed the users of the various INITRAMFS_COMPRESSION_* Kconfig symbols. So since v3.13 the entire "Built-in initramfs compression mode" choice is a set of knobs connected to nothing. The entire choice can safely be removed. Signed-off-by:

When running sparse over drivers/media/v4l2-core/v4l2-ioctl.c I get these errors: drivers/media/v4l2-core/v4l2-ioctl.c:2043:9: error: bad integer constant expression drivers/media/v4l2-core/v4l2-ioctl.c:2044:9: error: bad integer constant expression drivers/media/v4l2-core/v4l2-ioctl.c:2045:9: error: bad integer constant expression drivers/media/v4l2-core/v4l2-ioctl.c:2046:9: error: bad integer constant expression etc. The root cause of that turns out to be in include/asm-generic/ioctl.h: #include <uapi/asm-generic/ioctl.h> /* provoke compile error for invalid uses of size argument */ extern unsigned int __invalid_size_argument_for_IOC; #define _IOC_TYPECHECK(t) \ ((sizeof(t) == sizeof(t[1]) && \ sizeof(t) < (1 << _IOC_SIZEBITS)) ? \ sizeof(t) : __invalid_size_argument_for_IOC) If it is defined as this (as is already done if __KERNEL__ is not defined): #define _IOC_TYPECHECK(t) (sizeof(t)) then all is well with the world.

When writing to a sysctl string, each write, regardless of VFS position, begins writing the string from the start. This means the contents of the last write to the sysctl controls the string contents instead of the first: open("/proc/sys/kernel/modprobe", O_WRONLY) = 1 write(1, "AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA"..., 4096) = 4096 write(1, "/bin/true", 9) = 9 close(1) = 0 $ cat /proc/sys/kernel/modprobe /bin/true Expected behaviour would be to have the sysctl be "AAAA..." capped at maxlen (in this case KMOD_PATH_LEN: 256), instead of truncating to the contents of the second write. Similarly, multiple short writes would not append to the sysctl. The old behavior is unlike regular POSIX files enough that doing audits of software that interact with sysctls can end up in unexpected or dangerous situations. For example, "as long as the input starts with a trusted path" turns out to be an insufficient filter, as what must also happen is for the input to be entirely contained in a single write syscall -- not a common consideration, especially for high level tools. This provides kernel.sysctl_writes_strict as a way to make this behavior act in a less surprising manner for strings, and disallows non-zero file position when writing numeric sysctls (similar to what is already done when reading from non-zero file positions). For now, the default (0) is to warn about non-zero file position use, but retain the legacy behavior. Setting this to -1 disables the warning, and setting this to 1 enables the file position respecting behavior.

Consolidate buffer length checking with new-line/end-of-line checking. Additionally, instead of reading user memory twice, just do the assignment during the loop. This change doesn't affect the potential races here. It was already possible to read a sysctl that was in the middle of a write. In both cases, the string will always be NULL terminated. The pre-existing race remains a problem to be solved. Signed-off-by:

When writing to a sysctl string, each write, regardless of VFS position, began writing the string from the start. This meant the contents of the last write to the sysctl controlled the string contents instead of the first. This misbehavior was featured in an exploit against Chrome OS. While it's not in itself a vulnerability, it's a weirdness that isn't on the mind of most auditors: "This filter looks correct, the first line written would not be meaningful to sysctl" doesn't apply here, since the size of the write and the contents of the final write are what matter when writing to sysctls. This adds the sysctl kernel.sysctl_writes_strict to control the write behavior. The default (0) reports when VFS position is non-0 on a write, but retains legacy behavior, -1 disables the warning, and 1 enables the position-respecting behavior. The long-term plan here is to wait for userspace to be fixed in response to the new warning and to then switch the default kernel behavior to the new position-respecting behavior. This patch (of 4): The char buffer arguments are needlessly cast in weird places. Clean it up so things are easier to read. Signed-off-by:

When the smaller id is not found, idr_replace() returns -ENOENT. But when the id is bigger enough, idr_replace() returns -EINVAL, actually there is no difference between these two kinds of ids. These are all unallocated id, the return values of the idr_replace() for these ids should be the same: -ENOENT. Signed-off-by:

If the ida has at least one existing id, and when an unallocated ID which meets a certain condition is passed to the ida_remove(), the system will crash because it hits NULL pointer dereference. The condition is that the unallocated ID shares the same lowest idr layer with the existing ID, but the idr slot would be different if the unallocated ID were to be allocated. In this case the matching idr slot for the unallocated_id is NULL, causing @bitmap to be NULL which the function dereferences without checking crashing the kernel. See the test code: static void test3(void) { int id; DEFINE_IDA(test_ida); printk(KERN_INFO "Start test3\n"); if (ida_pre_get(&test_ida, GFP_KERNEL) < 0) return; if (ida_get_new(&test_ida, &id) < 0) return; ida_remove(&test_ida, 4000); /* bug: null deference here */ printk(KERN_INFO "End of test3\n"); } It happens only when the caller tries to free an unallocated ID which is the caller's fault. It is not a bug. But it is better to add the proper check and complain rather than crashing the kernel. [tj@kernel.org: updated patch description] Signed-off-by: -

If unallocated_id = (ANY * idr_max(idp->layers) + existing_id) is passed to idr_remove(). The existing_id will be removed unexpectedly. The following test shows this unexpected id-removal: static void test4(void) { int id; DEFINE_IDR(test_idr); printk(KERN_INFO "Start test4\n"); id = idr_alloc(&test_idr, (void *)1, 42, 43, GFP_KERNEL); BUG_ON(id != 42); idr_remove(&test_idr, 42 + IDR_SIZE); TEST_BUG_ON(idr_find(&test_idr, 42) != (void *)1); idr_destroy(&test_idr); printk(KERN_INFO "End of test4\n"); } ida_remove() shares the similar problem. It happens only when the caller tries to free an unallocated ID which is the caller's fault. It is not a bug. But it is better to add the proper check and complain rather than removing an existing_id silently. Signed-off-by: -

idr_replace() open-codes the logic to calculate the maximum valid ID given the height of the idr tree; unfortunately, the open-coded logic doesn't account for the fact that the top layer may have unused slots and over-shifts the limit to zero when the tree is at its maximum height. The following test code shows it fails to replace the value for id=((1<<27)+42): static void test5(void) { int id; DEFINE_IDR(test_idr); #define TEST5_START ((1<<27)+42) /* use the highest layer */ printk(KERN_INFO "Start test5\n"); id = idr_alloc(&test_idr, (void *)1, TEST5_START, 0, GFP_KERNEL); BUG_ON(id != TEST5_START); TEST_BUG_ON(idr_replace(&test_idr, (void *)2, TEST5_START) != (void *)1); idr_destroy(&test_idr); printk(KERN_INFO "End of test5\n"); } Fix the bug by using idr_max() which correctly takes into account the maximum allowed shift. sub_alloc() shares the same problem and may incorrectly fail with -EAGAIN; however, this bug doesn't affect correct operation because idr_get_empty_slot(), which already uses idr_max(), retries with the increased @id in such cases.

Add a "crash_kexec_post_notifiers" boot option to run kdump after running panic_notifiers and dump kmsg. This can help rare situations where kdump fails because of unstable crashed kernel or hardware failure (memory corruption on critical data/code), or the 2nd kernel is already broken by the 1st kernel (it's a broken behavior, but who can guarantee that the "crashed" kernel works correctly?). Usage: add "crash_kexec_post_notifiers" to kernel boot option. Note that this actually increases risks of the failure of kdump. This option should be set only if you worry about the rare case of kdump failure rather than increasing the chance of success. Signed-off-by:

There is a longstanding problem related to CPU hotplug which causes IPIs to be delivered to offline CPUs, and the smp-call-function IPI handler code prints out a warning whenever this is detected. Every once in a while this (usually harmless) warning gets reported on LKML, but so far it has not been completely fixed. Usually the solution involves finding out the IPI sender and fixing it by adding appropriate synchronization with CPU hotplug. However, while going through one such internal bug reports, I found that there is a significant bug in the receiver side itself (more specifically, in stop-machine) that can lead to this problem even when the sender code is perfectly fine. This patchset fixes that synchronization problem in the CPU hotplug stop-machine code. Patch 1 adds some additional debug code to the smp-call-function framework, to help debug such issues easily. Patch 2 modifies the stop-machine code to ensure that any IPIs that were sent while the target CPU was online, would be noticed and handled by that CPU without fail before it goes offline. Thus, this avoids scenarios where IPIs are received on offline CPUs (as long as the sender uses proper hotplug synchronization). In fact, I debugged the problem by using Patch 1, and found that the payload of the IPI was always the block layer's trigger_softirq() function. But I was not able to find anything wrong with the block layer code. That's when I started looking at the stop-machine code and realized that there is a race-window which makes the IPI _receiver_ the culprit, not the sender. Patch 2 fixes that race and hence this should put an end to most of the hard-to-debug IPI-to-offline-CPU issues. This patch (of 2): Today the smp-call-function code just prints a warning if we get an IPI on an offline CPU. This info is sufficient to let us know that something went wrong, but often it is very hard to debug exactly who sent the IPI and why, from this info alone. In most cases, we get the warning about the IPI to an offline CPU, immediately after the CPU going offline comes out of the stop-machine phase and reenables interrupts. Since all online CPUs participate in stop-machine, the information regarding the sender of the IPI is already lost by the time we exit the stop-machine loop. So even if we dump the stack on each CPU at this point, we won't find anything useful since all of them will show the stack-trace of the stopper thread. So we need a better way to figure out who sent the IPI and why. To achieve this, when we detect an IPI targeted to an offline CPU, loop through the call-single-data linked list and print out the payload (i.e., the name of the function which was supposed to be executed by the target CPU). This would give us an insight as to who might have sent the IPI and help us debug this further.

disallow_signal() simply sets SIG_IGN, this is not enough and recalc_sigpending() is simply pointless because in can never change the state of TIF_SIGPENDING. If we ignore a signal, we also need to do flush_sigqueue_mask() for the case when this signal is pending, this way recalc_sigpending() can actually clear TIF_SIGPENDING and we do not "leak" the allocated siginfo's.

allow_signal() does sigdelset(current->blocked) due to historic reason, previously it could be called by a daemonize()'ed kthread, and daemonize() played with current->blocked. Now that daemonize() has gone away we can remove sigdelset() and recalc_sigpending(). If a user really wants to unblock a signal, it must use sigprocmask() or set_current_block() explicitely.

jffs2_garbage_collect_thread() does disallow_signal(SIGHUP) around jffs2_garbage_collect_pass() and the comment says "We don't want SIGHUP to interrupt us". But disallow_signal() can't ensure that jffs2_garbage_collect_pass() won't be interrupted by SIGHUP, the problem is that SIGHUP can be already pending when disallow_signal() is called, and in this case any interruptible sleep won't block. Note: this is in fact because disallow_signal() is buggy and should be fixed, see the next changes. But there is another reason why disallow_signal() is wrong: SIG_IGN set by disallow_signal() silently discards any SIGHUP which can be sent before the next allow_signal(SIGHUP). Change this code to use sigprocmask(SIG_UNBLOCK/SIG_BLOCK, SIGHUP). This even matches the old (and wrong) semantics allow/disallow had when this logic was written. Signed-off-by:
