Patch series "memory management documentation updates", v3. Here are several updates to the mm documentation. Aside from really minor changes in the first three patches, the updates are: * move the documentation of kstrdup and friends to "String Manipulation" section * split memory management API into a separate .rst file * adjust formating of the GFP flags description and include it in the reference documentation. This patch (of 7): The description of the strndup_user function misses '*' character at the beginning of the comment to be proper kernel-doc. Add the missing character.

Use new return type vm_fault_t for fault handler in struct vm_operations_struct. For now, this is just documenting that the function returns a VM_FAULT value rather than an errno. Once all instances are converted, vm_fault_t will become a distinct type. See 1c8f4220 ("mm: change return type to vm_fault_t") for reference.

A process can be killed with SIGBUS(BUS_MCEERR_AR) when it tries to allocate a page that was just freed on the way of soft-offline. This is undesirable because soft-offline (which is about corrected error) is less aggressive than hard-offline (which is about uncorrected error), and we can make soft-offline fail and keep using the page for good reason like "system is busy." Two main changes of this patch are: - setting migrate type of the target page to MIGRATE_ISOLATE. As done in free_unref_page_commit(), this makes kernel bypass pcplist when freeing the page. So we can assume that the page is in freelist just after put_page() returns, - setting PG_hwpoison on free page under zone->lock which protects freelists, so this allows us to avoid setting PG_hwpoison on a page that is decided to be allocated soon.

Patch series "mm: soft-offline: fix race against page allocation". Xishi recently reported the issue about race on reusing the target pages of soft offlining. Discussion and analysis showed that we need make sure that setting PG_hwpoison should be done in the right place under zone->lock for soft offline. 1/2 handles free hugepage's case, and 2/2 hanldes free buddy page's case. This patch (of 2): There's a race condition between soft offline and hugetlb_fault which causes unexpected process killing and/or hugetlb allocation failure. The process killing is caused by the following flow: CPU 0 CPU 1 CPU 2 soft offline get_any_page // find the hugetlb is free mmap a hugetlb file page fault ... hugetlb_fault hugetlb_no_page alloc_huge_page // succeed soft_offline_free_page // set hwpoison flag mmap the hugetlb file page fault ... hugetlb_fault hugetlb_no_page find_lock_page return VM_FAULT_HWPOISON mm_fault_error do_sigbus // kill the process The hugetlb allocation failure comes from the following flow: CPU 0 CPU 1 mmap a hugetlb file // reserve all free page but don't fault-in soft offline get_any_page // find the hugetlb is free soft_offline_free_page // set hwpoison flag dissolve_free_huge_page // fail because all free hugepages are reserved page fault ... hugetlb_fault hugetlb_no_page alloc_huge_page ... dequeue_huge_page_node_exact // ignore hwpoisoned hugepage // and finally fail due to no-mem The root cause of this is that current soft-offline code is written based on an assumption that PageHWPoison flag should be set at first to avoid accessing the corrupted data. This makes sense for memory_failure() or hard offline, but does not for soft offline because soft offline is about corrected (not uncorrected) error and is safe from data lost. This patch changes soft offline semantics where it sets PageHWPoison flag only after containment of the error page completes successfully.

Disallows open of FIFOs or regular files not owned by the user in world writable sticky directories, unless the owner is the same as that of the directory or the file is opened without the O_CREAT flag. The purpose is to make data spoofing attacks harder. This protection can be turned on and off separately for FIFOs and regular files via sysctl, just like the symlinks/hardlinks protection. This patch is based on Openwall's "HARDEN_FIFO" feature by Solar Designer. This is a brief list of old vulnerabilities that could have been prevented by this feature, some of them even allow for privilege escalation: CVE-2000-1134 CVE-2007-3852 CVE-2008-0525 CVE-2009-0416 CVE-2011-4834 CVE-2015-1838 CVE-2015-7442 CVE-2016-7489 This list is not meant to be complete. It's difficult to track down all vulnerabilities of this kind because they were often reported without any mention of this particular attack vector. In fact, before hardlinks/symlinks restrictions, fifos/regular files weren't the favorite vehicle to exploit them.

An HFS+ filesystem can be mounted read-only without having a metadata directory, which is needed to support hardlinks. But if the catalog data is corrupted, a directory lookup may still find dentries claiming to be hardlinks. hfsplus_lookup() does check that ->hidden_dir is not NULL in such a situation, but mistakenly does so after dereferencing it for the first time. Reorder this check to prevent a crash. This happens when looking up corrupted catalog data (dentry) on a filesystem with no metadata directory (this could only ever happen on a read-only mount).

Commit cafa0010 ("Raise the minimum required gcc version to 4.6") recently exposed a brittle part of the build for supporting non-gcc compilers. Both Clang and ICC define __GNUC__, __GNUC_MINOR__, and __GNUC_PATCHLEVEL__ for quick compatibility with code bases that haven't added compiler specific checks for __clang__ or __INTEL_COMPILER. This is brittle, as they happened to get compatibility by posing as a certain version of GCC. This broke when upgrading the minimal version of GCC required to build the kernel, to a version above what ICC and Clang claim to be. Rather than always including compiler-gcc.h then undefining or redefining macros in compiler-intel.h or compiler-clang.h, let's separate out the compiler specific macro definitions into mutually exclusive headers, do more proper compiler detection, and keep shared definitions in compiler_types.h.

Pull x86 platform driver updates from Andy Shevchenko: - The driver for Silead touchscreen configurations has been renamed from silead_dmi to touchscreen_dmi since it starts supporting other touchscreens which require some DMI quirks It also gets expanded to cover cases for Chuwi Vi10, ONDA V891W, Connect Tablet 9, Onda V820w, and Cube KNote i1101 tablets. - Another bunch of changes is related to Mellanox platform code to allow user space to communicate with Mellanox for system control and monitoring purposes. The driver notifies user on hotplug device signal receiving. - ASUS WMI drivers recognize lid flip action on UX360, and correctly toggles airplane mode LED. In addition the keyboard backlight toggle gets support. - ThinkPad ACPI driver enables support for calculator key (on at least P52). It also has been fixed to support three characters model designators, which are used for modern laptops. Earlier the battery, marked as BAT1, on ThinkPad laptops has not been configured properly, which is fixed. On the opposite the multi-battery configurations now probed correctly. - Dell SMBIOS driver starts working on some Dell servers which do not support token interface. The regression with backlight detection has also been fixed. In order to support dock mode on some laptops, Intel virtual button driver has been fixed. The last but not least is the fix to Intel HID driver due to changes in Dell systems that prevented to use power button. * tag 'platform-drivers-x86-v4.19-1' of git://git.infradead.org/linux-platform-drivers-x86: (47 commits) platform/x86: acer-wmi: Silence "unsupported" message a bit platform/x86: intel_punit_ipc: fix build errors platform/x86: ideapad: Add Y520-15IKBM and Y720-15IKBM to no_hw_rfkill platform/x86: asus-nb-wmi: Add keymap entry for lid flip action on UX360 platform/x86: acer-wmi: refactor function has_cap platform/x86: thinkpad_acpi: Fix multi-battery bug platform/x86: thinkpad_acpi: extend battery quirk coverage platform/x86: touchscreen_dmi: Add info for the Cube KNote i1101 tablet platform/x86: mlx-platform: Fix copy-paste error in mlxplat_init() platform/x86: mlx-platform: Remove unused define platform/x86: mlx-platform: Change mlxreg-io configuration for MSN274x systems Documentation/ABI: Add new attribute for mlxreg-io sysfs interfaces platform/x86: mlx-platform: Allow mlxreg-io driver activation for more systems platform/x86: mlx-platform: Add ASIC hotplug device configuration platform/mellanox: mlxreg-hotplug: Add hotplug hwmon uevent notification platform/mellanox: mlxreg-hotplug: Improve mechanism of ASIC health discovery platform/x86: mlx-platform: Add mlxreg-fan platform driver activation platform/x86: dell-laptop: Fix backlight detection platform/x86: toshiba_acpi: Fix defined but not used build warnings platform/x86: thinkpad_acpi: Support battery quirk ...

ipc_getref has still a return value of type "int", matching the atomic_t interface of atomic_inc_not_zero()/atomic_add_unless(). ipc_getref now uses refcount_inc_not_zero, which has a return value of type "bool". Therefore, update the return code to avoid implicit conversions. Link: http://lkml.kernel.org/r/20180712185241.4017-13-manfred@colorfullife.comSigned-off-by:

The varable names got a mess, thus standardize them again: id: user space id. Called semid, shmid, msgid if the type is known. Most functions use "id" already. idx: "index" for the idr lookup Right now, some functions use lid, ipc_addid() already uses idx as the variable name. seq: sequence number, to avoid quick collisions of the user space id key: user space key, used for the rhash tree Link: http://lkml.kernel.org/r/20180712185241.4017-12-manfred@colorfullife.comSigned-off-by: -

In sysvipc we have an ids->tables_initialized regarding the rhashtable, introduced in 0cfb6aee ("ipc: optimize semget/shmget/msgget for lots of keys") It's there, specifically, to prevent nil pointer dereferences, from using an uninitialized api. Considering how rhashtable_init() can fail (probably due to ENOMEM, if anything), this made the overall ipc initialization capable of failure as well. That alone is ugly, but fine, however I've spotted a few issues regarding the semantics of tables_initialized (however unlikely they may be): - There is inconsistency in what we return to userspace: ipc_addid() returns ENOSPC which is certainly _wrong_, while ipc_obtain_object_idr() returns EINVAL. - After we started using rhashtables, ipc_findkey() can return nil upon !tables_initialized, but the caller expects nil for when the ipc structure isn't found, and can therefore call into ipcget() callbacks. Now that rhashtable initialization cannot fail, we can properly get rid of the hack altogether.

rhashtable_init() may fail due to -ENOMEM, thus making the entire api unusable. This patch removes this scenario, however unlikely. In order to guarantee memory allocation, this patch always ends up doing GFP_KERNEL|__GFP_NOFAIL for both the tbl as well as alloc_bucket_spinlocks(). Upon the first table allocation failure, we shrink the size to the smallest value that makes sense and retry with __GFP_NOFAIL semantics. With the defaults, this means that from 64 buckets, we retry with only 4. Any later issues regarding performance due to collisions or larger table resizing (when more memory becomes available) is the least of our problems.

As of ce91f6ee ("mm: kvmalloc does not fallback to vmalloc for incompatible gfp flags") we can simplify the caller and trust kvzalloc() to just do the right thing. For the case of the GFP_ATOMIC context, we can drop the __GFP_NORETRY flag for obvious reasons, and for the __GFP_NOWARN case, however, it is changed such that the caller passes the flag instead of making bucket_table_alloc() handle it. This slightly changes the gfp flags passed on to nested_table_alloc() as it will now also use GFP_ATOMIC | __GFP_NOWARN. However, I consider this a positive consequence as for the same reasons we want nowarn semantics in bucket_table_alloc().

ipc/util.c contains multiple functions to get the ipc object pointer given an id number. There are two sets of function: One set verifies the sequence counter part of the id number, other functions do not check the sequence counter. The standard for function names in ipc/util.c is - ..._check() functions verify the sequence counter - ..._idr() functions do not verify the sequence counter ipc_lock() is an exception: It does not verify the sequence counter value, but this is not obvious from the function name. Furthermore, shm.c is the only user of this helper. Thus, we can simply move the logic into shm_lock() and get rid of the function altogether.

The comment that explains ipc_obtain_object_check is wrong: The function checks the sequence number, not the reference counter. Note that checking the reference counter would be meaningless: The reference counter is decreased without holding any locks, thus an object with kern_ipc_perm.deleted=true may disappear at the end of the next rcu grace period.

Both the comment and the name of ipcctl_pre_down_nolock() are misleading: The function must be called while holdling the rw semaphore. Therefore the patch renames the function to ipcctl_obtain_check(): This name matches the other names used in util.c: - "obtain" function look up a pointer in the idr, without acquiring the object lock. - The caller is responsible for locking. - _check means that the sequence number is checked.

ipc_addid() is impossible to use: - for certain failures, the caller must not use ipc_rcu_putref(), because the reference counter is not yet initialized. - for other failures, the caller must use ipc_rcu_putref(), because parallel operations could be ongoing already. The patch cleans that up, by initializing the refcount early, and by modifying all callers. The issues is related to the finding of syzbot+2827ef6b3385deb07eaf@syzkaller.appspotmail.com: syzbot found an issue with reading kern_ipc_perm.seq, here both read and write to already released memory could happen.

ipc_addid() initializes kern_ipc_perm.seq after having called idr_alloc() (within ipc_idr_alloc()). Thus a parallel semop() or msgrcv() that uses ipc_obtain_object_check() may see an uninitialized value. The patch moves the initialization of kern_ipc_perm.seq before the calls of idr_alloc(). Notes: 1) This patch has a user space visible side effect: If /proc/sys/kernel/*_next_id is used (i.e.: checkpoint/restore) and if semget()/msgget()/shmget() fails in the final step of adding the id to the rhash tree, then .._next_id is cleared. Before the patch, is remained unmodified. There is no change of the behavior after a successful ..get() call: It always clears .._next_id, there is no impact to non checkpoint/restore code as that code does not use .._next_id. 2) The patch correctly documents that after a call to ipc_idr_alloc(), the full tear-down sequence must be used. The callers of ipc_addid() do not fullfill that, i.e. more bugfixes are required. The patch is a squash of a patch from Dmitry and my own changes.

The CHECKPOINT_RESTORE configuration option was introduced in 2012 and combined with EXPERT. CHECKPOINT_RESTORE is already enabled in many distribution kernels and also part of the defconfigs of various architectures. To make it easier for distributions to enable CHECKPOINT_RESTORE this removes EXPERT and moves the configuration option out of the EXPERT block.

get_seconds() is deprecated in favor of ktime_get_real_seconds(), which returns a 64-bit timestamp. In the SYSV file system, the superblock timestamp is only 32 bits wide, and it is used to check whether a file system is clean, so the best solution seems to be to force a wraparound and explicitly convert it to an unsigned 32-bit value. This is independent of the inode timestamps that are also 32-bit wide on disk and that come from current_time(). Link: http://lkml.kernel.org/r/20180713145236.3152513-1-arnd@arndb.deSigned-off-by:

Before this change, if a multithreaded process forks while one of its threads is changing a signal handler using sigaction(), the memcpy() in copy_sighand() can race with the struct assignment in do_sigaction(). It isn't clear whether this can cause corruption of the userspace signal handler pointer, but it definitely can cause inconsistency between different fields of struct sigaction. Take the appropriate spinlock to avoid this. I have tested that this patch prevents inconsistency between sa_sigaction and sa_flags, which is possible before this patch.
