      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.

      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).

      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()

      MIPS: scall: Always run the seccomp syscall filters · d218af78
      Markos Chandras authored
      The MIPS syscall handler code used to return -ENOSYS on invalid
      syscalls. Whilst this is expected, it caused problems for seccomp
      filters because the said filters never had the change to run since
      the code returned -ENOSYS before triggering them. This caused
      problems on the chromium testsuite for filters looking for invalid
      syscalls. This has now changed and the seccomp filters are always
      run even if the syscall is invalid. We return -ENOSYS once we
      return from the seccomp filters. Moreover, similar codepaths have
      been merged in the process which simplifies somewhat the overall
      syscall code.
