      mnt: Prevent pivot_root from creating a loop in the mount tree · 0d082601
      Eric W. Biederman authored
      Andy Lutomirski recently demonstrated that when chroot is used to set
      the root path below the path for the new ``root'' passed to pivot_root
      the pivot_root system call succeeds and leaks mounts.
      
      In examining the code I see that starting with a new root that is
      below the current root in the mount tree will result in a loop in the
      mount tree after the mounts are detached and then reattached to one
      another.  Resulting in all kinds of ugliness including a leak of that
      mounts involved in the leak of the mount loop.
      
      Prevent this problem by ensuring that the new mount is reachable from
      the current root of the mount tree.

      Pull do_umount fix from Andy Lutomirski:
       "This fix really ought to be safe.  Inside a mountns owned by a
        non-root user namespace, the namespace root almost always has
        MNT_LOCKED set (if it doesn't, then there's a bug, because rootfs
        could be exposed).  In that case, calling umount on "/" will return
        -EINVAL with or without this patch.
      
        Outside a userns, this patch will have no effect.  may_mount, required
        by umount, already checks
           ns_capable(current->nsproxy->mnt_ns->user_ns, CAP_SYS_ADMIN)
        so an additional capable(CAP_SYS_ADMIN) check will have no effect.
      
        That leaves anything that calls umount on "/" in a non-root userns
        while chrooted.  This is the case that is currently broken (it
        remounts ro, which shouldn't be allowed) and that my patch changes to

      Pull s390 updates from Martin Schwidefsky:
       "This patch set contains the main portion of the changes for 3.18 in
        regard to the s390 architecture.  It is a bit bigger than usual,
        mainly because of a new driver and the vector extension patches.
      
        The interesting bits are:
         - Quite a bit of work on the tracing front.  Uprobes is enabled and
           the ftrace code is reworked to get some of the lost performance
           back if CONFIG_FTRACE is enabled.
         - To improve boot time with CONFIG_DEBIG_PAGEALLOC, support for the
           IPTE range facility is added.
         - The rwlock code is re-factored to improve writer fairness and to be
           able to use the interlocked-access instructions.
         - The kernel part for the support of the vector extension is added.
         - The device driver to access the CD/DVD on the HMC is added, this
           will hopefully come in handy to improve the installation process.
         - Add support for control-unit initiated reconfiguration.
         - The crypto device driver is enhanced to enable the additional AP
           domains and to allow the new crypto hardware to be used.

      mm: softdirty: enable write notifications on VMAs after VM_SOFTDIRTY cleared · 64e45507
      Peter Feiner authored
      For VMAs that don't want write notifications, PTEs created for read faults
      have their write bit set.  If the read fault happens after VM_SOFTDIRTY is
      cleared, then the PTE's softdirty bit will remain clear after subsequent
      writes.
      
      Here's a simple code snippet to demonstrate the bug:
      
        char* m = mmap(NULL, getpagesize(), PROT_READ | PROT_WRITE,
                       MAP_ANONYMOUS | MAP_SHARED, -1, 0);
        system("echo 4 > /proc/$PPID/clear_refs"); /* clear VM_SOFTDIRTY */
        assert(*m == '\0');     /* new PTE allows write access */
        assert(!soft_dirty(x));
        *m = 'x';               /* should dirty the page */
        assert(soft_dirty(x));  /* fails */
      
      With this patch, write notifications are enabled when VM_SOFTDIRTY is
      cleared.  Furthermore, to avoid unnecessary faults, write notifications
      are disabled when VM_SOFTDIRTY is set.
      
      As a side effect of enabling and disabling write notifications with
      care, this patch fixes a bug in mprotect where vm_page_prot bits set by
      drivers were zapped on mprotect.  An analogous bug was fixed in mmap by
      commit c9d0bf24 ("mm: uncached vma support with writenotify").

      kvm: ensure hard lockup detection is disabled by default · 9919e39a
      Ulrich Obergfell authored
      Use watchdog_enable_hardlockup_detector() to set hard lockup detection's
      default value to false.  It's risky to run this detection in a guest, as
      false positives are easy to trigger, especially if the host is
      overcommitted.

      kernel/watchdog.c: control hard lockup detection default · 6e7458a6
      Ulrich Obergfell authored
      In some cases we don't want hard lockup detection enabled by default.
      An example is when running as a guest.  Introduce
      
        watchdog_enable_hardlockup_detector(bool)
      
      allowing those cases to disable hard lockup detection.  This must be
      executed early by the boot processor from e.g.  smp_prepare_boot_cpu, in
      order to allow kernel command line arguments to override it, as well as
      to avoid hard lockup detection being enabled before we've had a chance
      to indicate that it's unwanted.  In summary,
      
        initial boot:					default=enabled
        smp_prepare_boot_cpu
          watchdog_enable_hardlockup_detector(false):	default=disabled
        cmdline has 'nmi_watchdog=1':			default=enabled
      
      The running kernel still has the ability to enable/disable at any time
      with /proc/sys/kernel/nmi_watchdog us usual.  However even when the
      default has been overridden /proc/sys/kernel/nmi_watchdog will initially
      show '1'.  To truly turn it on one must disable/enable it, i.e.
      
        echo 0 > /proc/sys/kernel/nmi_watchdog
        echo 1 > /proc/sys/kernel/nmi_watchdog
      
      This patch will be immediately useful for KVM with the next patch of this
      series.  Other hypervisor guest types may find it useful as well.

      In kernel we have %*pE specifier to print an escaped buffer.  All users
      now switched to that approach.
      
      This fixes a bug as well.  The current implementation wrongly prints
      octal numbers: only two first digits are used in case when 3 are
      required and the rest of the string ends up cut off.
      
      Additionally by default the \f, \v, \a, and \e are escaped to their
      alphabetic representation.  It's safe to do since it is currently used
      for messaging only.

      lib / string_helpers: introduce string_escape_mem() · c8250381
      Andy Shevchenko authored
      This is almost the opposite function to string_unescape().  Nevertheless
      it handles \0 and could be used for any byte buffer.
      
      The documentation is supplied together with the function prototype.
      
      The test cases covers most of the scenarios and would be expanded later
      on.

      lib / string_helpers: move documentation to c-file · d295634e
      Andy Shevchenko authored
      The introduced function string_escape_mem() is a kind of opposite to
      string_unescape.  We have several users of such functionality each of
      them created custom implementation.  The series contains clean up of
      test suite, adding new call, and switching few users to use it via %*pE
      specifier.
      
      Test suite covers all of existing and most of potential use cases.
      
      This patch (of 11):
      
      The documentation of API belongs to c-file.  This patch moves it
      accordingly.
      
      There is no functional change.

      arch/x86/mm/numa.c: fix boot failure when all nodes are hotpluggable · bd5cfb89
      Xishi Qiu authored
      If all the nodes are marked hotpluggable, alloc node data will fail.
      Because __next_mem_range_rev() will skip the hotpluggable memory
      regions.  numa_clear_kernel_node_hotplug() is called after alloc node
      data.
      
      numa_init()
          ...
          ret = init_func();  // this will mark hotpluggable flag from SRAT
          ...
          memblock_set_bottom_up(false);
          ...
          ret = numa_register_memblks(&numa_meminfo);  // this will alloc node data(pglist_data)
          ...
          numa_clear_kernel_node_hotplug();  // in case all the nodes are hotpluggable
          ...
      
      numa_register_memblks()
          setup_node_data()
              memblock_find_in_range_node()
                  __memblock_find_range_top_down()
                      for_each_mem_range_rev()
                          __next_mem_range_rev()
      
      This patch moves numa_clear_kernel_node_hotplug() into
      numa_register_memblks(), clear kernel node hotpluggable flag before
      alloc node data, then alloc node data won't fail even all the nodes
      are hotpluggable.
