git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/gregkh/staging Pull staging/IIO updates from Greg KH: "Here is the big staging and IIO driver update for 4.18-rc1. It was delayed as I wanted to make sure the final driver deletions did not cause any major merge issues, and all now looks good. There are a lot of patches here, just over 1000. The diffstat summary shows the major changes here: 1007 files changed, 16828 insertions(+), 227770 deletions(-) Because of this, we might be close to shrinking the overall kernel source code size for two releases in a row. There was loads of work in this release cycle, primarily: - tons of ks7010 driver cleanups - lots of mt7621 driver fixes and cleanups - most driver cleanups - wilc1000 fixes and cleanups - lots and lots of IIO driver cleanups and new additions - debugfs cleanups for all staging drivers - lots of other staging driver cleanups and fixes, the shortlog has the full details. but the big user-visable things here are the removal of 3 chunks of code: - ncpfs and ipx were removed on schedule, no one has cared about this code since it moved to staging last year, and if it needs to come back, it can be reverted. - lustre file system is removed. I've ranted at the lustre developers about once a year for the past 5 years, with no real forward progress at all to clean things up and get the code into the "real" part of the kernel. Given that the lustre developers continue to work on an external tree and try to port those changes to the in-kernel tree every once in a while, this whole thing really really is not working out at all. So I'm deleting it so that the developers can spend the time working in their out-of-tree location and get things cleaned up properly to get merged into the tree correctly at a later date. Because of these file removals, you will have merge issues on some of these files (2 in the ipx code, 1 in the ncpfs code, and 1 in the atomisp driver).

2018-05-20fscrypt: add Speck128/256 supportEric Biggers
fscrypt currently only supports AES encryption. However, many low-end mobile devices have older CPUs that don't have AES instructions, e.g. the ARMv8 Cryptography Extensions. Currently, user data on such devices is not encrypted at rest because AES is too slow, even when the NEON bit-sliced implementation of AES is used. Unfortunately, it is infeasible to encrypt these devices at all when AES is the only option. Therefore, this patch updates fscrypt to support the Speck block cipher, which was recently added to the crypto API. The C implementation of Speck is not especially fast, but Speck can be implemented very efficiently with general-purpose vector instructions, e.g. ARM NEON. For example, on an ARMv7 processor, we measured the NEON-accelerated Speck128/256-XTS at 69 MB/s for both encryption and decryption, while AES-256-XTS with the NEON bit-sliced implementation was only 22 MB/s encryption and 19 MB/s decryption. There are multiple variants of Speck. This patch only adds support for Speck128/256, which is the variant with a 128-bit block size and 256-bit key size -- the same as AES-256. This is believed to be the most secure variant of Speck, and it's only about 6% slower than Speck128/128. Speck64/128 would be at least 20% faster because it has 20% rounds, and it can be even faster on CPUs that can't efficiently do the 64-bit operations needed for Speck128. However, Speck64's 64-bit block size is not preferred security-wise. ARM NEON also supports the needed 64-bit operations even on 32-bit CPUs, resulting in Speck128 being fast enough for our targeted use cases so far. The chosen modes of operation are XTS for contents and CTS-CBC for filenames. These are the same modes of operation that fscrypt defaults to for AES. Note that as with the other fscrypt modes, Speck will not be used unless userspace chooses to use it. Nor are any of the existing modes (which are all AES-based) being removed, of course. We intentionally don't make CONFIG_FS_ENCRYPTION select CONFIG_CRYPTO_SPECK, so people will have to enable Speck support themselves if they need it. This is because we shouldn't bloat the FS_ENCRYPTION dependencies with every new cipher, especially ones that aren't recommended for most users. Moreover, CRYPTO_SPECK is just the generic implementation, which won't be fast enough for many users; in practice, they'll need to enable CRYPTO_SPECK_NEON to get acceptable performance. More details about our choice of Speck can be found in our patches that added Speck to the crypto API, and the follow-on discussion threads. We're planning a publication that explains the choice in more detail. But briefly, we can't use ChaCha20 as we previously proposed, since it would be insecure to use a stream cipher in this context, with potential IV reuse during writes on f2fs and/or on wear-leveling flash storage. We also evaluated many other lightweight and/or ARX-based block ciphers such as Chaskey-LTS, RC5, LEA, CHAM, Threefish, RC6, NOEKEON, SPARX, and XTEA. However, all had disadvantages vs. Speck, such as insufficient performance with NEON, much less published cryptanalysis, or an insufficient security level. Various design choices in Speck make it perform better with NEON than competing ciphers while still having a security margin similar to AES, and in the case of Speck128 also the same available security levels. Unfortunately, Speck does have some political baggage attached -- it's an NSA designed cipher, and was rejected from an ISO standard (though for context, as far as I know none of the above-mentioned alternatives are ISO standards either). Nevertheless, we believe it is a good solution to the problem from a technical perspective. Certain algorithms constructed from ChaCha or the ChaCha permutation, such as MEM (Masked Even-Mansour) or HPolyC, may also meet our performance requirements. However, these are new constructions that need more time to receive the cryptographic review and acceptance needed to be confident in their security. HPolyC hasn't been published yet, and we are concerned that MEM makes stronger assumptions about the underlying permutation than the ChaCha stream cipher does. In contrast, the XTS mode of operation is relatively well accepted, and Speck has over 70 cryptanalysis papers. Of course, these ChaCha-based algorithms can still be added later if they become ready. The best known attack on Speck128/256 is a differential cryptanalysis attack on 25 of 34 rounds with 2^253 time complexity and 2^125 chosen plaintexts, i.e. only marginally faster than brute force. There is no known attack on the full 34 rounds. Signed-off-by: Eric Biggers <ebiggers@google.com> Signed-off-by: Theodore Ts'o <tytso@mit.edu>

2018-04-24ipconfig: Write NTP server IPs to /proc/net/ipconfig/ntp_serversChris Novakovic
Distributed filesystems are most effective when the server and client clocks are synchronised. Embedded devices often use NFS for their root filesystem but typically do not contain an RTC, so the clocks of the NFS server and the embedded device will be out-of-sync when the root filesystem is mounted (and may not be synchronised until late in the boot process). Extend ipconfig with the ability to export IP addresses of NTP servers it discovers to /proc/net/ipconfig/ntp_servers. They can be supplied as follows: - If ipconfig is configured manually via the "ip=" or "nfsaddrs=" kernel command line parameters, one NTP server can be specified in the new "<ntp0-ip>" parameter. - If ipconfig is autoconfigured via DHCP, request DHCP option 42 in the DHCPDISCOVER message, and record the IP addresses of up to three NTP servers sent by the responding DHCP server in the subsequent DHCPOFFER message. ipconfig will only write the NTP server IP addresses it discovers to /proc/net/ipconfig/ntp_servers, one per line (in the order received from the DHCP server, if DHCP autoconfiguration is used); making use of these NTP servers is the responsibility of a user space process (e.g. an initrd/initram script that invokes an NTP client before mounting an NFS root filesystem).

2018-04-24ipconfig: Document setting of NIS domain nameChris Novakovic
ic_do_bootp_ext() is responsible for parsing the "ip=" and "nfsaddrs=" kernel parameters. If a "." character is found in parameter 4 (the client's hostname), everything before the first "." is used as the hostname, and everything after it is used as the NIS domain name (but not necessarily the DNS domain name).

2018-04-09afs: Implement @sys substitution handlingDavid Howells
Implement the AFS feature by which @sys at the end of a pathname component may be substituted for one of a list of values, typically naming the operating system. Up to 16 alternatives may be specified and these are tried in turn until one works. Each network namespace has[*] a separate independent list. Upon creation of a new network namespace, the list of values is initialised[*] to a single OpenAFS-compatible string representing arch type plus "_linux26". For example, on x86_64, the sysname is "amd64_linux26". [*] Or will, once network namespace support is finalised in kAFS. The list may be set by: # for i in foo bar linux-x86_64; do echo $i; done >/proc/fs/afs/sysname for which separate writes to the same fd are amalgamated and applied on close. The LF character may be used as a separator to specify multiple items in the same write() call. The list may be cleared by: # echo >/proc/fs/afs/sysname and read by: # cat /proc/fs/afs/sysname foo bar linux-x86_64 Signed-off-by: David Howells <dhowells@redhat.com>

(2) Move the vnode ID uniquifier (equivalent to i_generation) from the auxiliary data to the index key to prevent a race between file delete and a subsequent file create seeing the same index key. (3) Need to retire cookies that correspond to files that we think got deleted on the server. Four patches to fix some things in fscache and cachefiles: (4) Fix a couple of checker warnings. (5) Correctly indicate to the end-of-operation callback whether an operation completed or was cancelled. (6) Add a check for multiple cookie relinquishment. (7) Fix a path through the asynchronous write that doesn't wake up a waiter for a page if the cache decides not to write that page, but discards it instead.

(9) Add tracepoints for fscache operation management and page wrangling. And then three development patches: (10) Attach the index key and auxiliary data to the cookie, pass this information through various fscache-netfs API functions and get rid of the callbacks to the netfs to get it. This means that the cache can get at this information, even if the netfs goes away. It also means that the cache can be lazy in updating the coherency data. (11) Pass the object data size through various fscache-netfs API rather than calling back to the netfs for it, and store the value in the object. This makes it easier to correctly resize the object, as the size is updated on writes to the cache, rather than calling back out to the netfs. (12) Maintain a catalogue of allocated cookies. This makes it possible to catch cookie collision up front rather than down in the bowels of the cache being run from a service thread from the object state machine. This will also make it possible in the future to reconnect to a cookie that's not gone dead yet because it's waiting for finalisation of the storage and also make it possible to bring cookies online if the cache is added after the cookie has been obtained" * tag 'fscache-next-20180406' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/dhowells/linux-fs: fscache: Maintain a catalogue of allocated cookies fscache: Pass object size in rather than calling back for it fscache: Attach the index key and aux data to the cookie fscache: Add more tracepoints fscache: Add tracepoints fscache: Fix hanging wait on page discarded by writeback fscache: Detect multiple relinquishment of a cookie fscache: Pass the correct cancelled indications to fscache_op_complete() fscache, cachefiles: Fix checker warnings afs: Be more aggressive in retiring cached vnodes afs: Use the vnode ID uniquifier in the cache key not the aux data afs: Invalidate cache on server data change

Pass the object size in to fscache_acquire_cookie() and fscache_write_page() rather than the netfs providing a callback by which it can be received. This makes it easier to update the size of the object when a new page is written that extends the object.

2018-04-04fscache: Attach the index key and aux data to the cookieDavid Howells
Attach copies of the index key and auxiliary data to the fscache cookie so that: (1) The callbacks to the netfs for this stuff can be eliminated. This can simplify things in the cache as the information is still available, even after the cache has relinquished the cookie. (2) Simplifies the locking requirements of accessing the information as we don't have to worry about the netfs object going away on us. (3) The cache can do lazy updating of the coherency information on disk. As long as the cache is flushed before reboot/poweroff, there's no need to update the coherency info on disk every time it changes. (4) Cookies can be hashed or put in a tree as the index key is easily available. This allows: (a) Checks for duplicate cookies can be made at the top fscache layer rather than down in the bowels of the cache backend. (b) Caching can be added to a netfs object that has a cookie if the cache is brought online after the netfs object is allocated. A certain amount of space is made in the cookie for inline copies of the data, but if it won't fit there, extra memory will be allocated for it. The downside of this is that live cache operation requires more memory.

2018-03-17f2fs: introduce mount option for fsync modeJunling Zheng
Commit "0a007b97aad6"(f2fs: recover directory operations by fsync) fixed xfstest generic/342 case, but it also increased the written data and caused the performance degradation. In most cases, there's no need to do so heavy fsync actually. So we introduce new mount option "fsync_mode={posix,strict}" to control the policy of fsync. "fsync_mode=posix" is set by default, and means that f2fs uses a light fsync, which follows POSIX semantics. And "fsync_mode=strict" means that it's a heavy fsync, which behaves in line with xfs, ext4 and btrfs, where generic/342 will pass, but the performance will regress.
