Just setting the "error" to error number is enough on failure and It
doesn't require to set "error" variable to zero in each switch case,
since it was already initialized with zero. And also removed return 0
in switch case with break statement

Like do_wp_page(), __replace_page() should do munlock_vma_page()
for the case when the old page still has other !VM_LOCKED
mappings. Unfortunately this needs mm/internal.h.
Also, move put_page() outside of ptl lock. This doesn't really
matter but looks a bit better.

1. vma_address() returns loff_t, this looks confusing and this
is unnecessary after the previous change. Make it return "ulong",
all callers truncate the result anyway.
2. Its name conflicts with mm/rmap.c:vma_address(), rename it to
offset_to_vaddr(), this matches vaddr_to_offset().

1. register_for_each_vma() checks that vma_address() == vaddr,
but this is not enough. We should also ensure that
vaddr >= vm_start, find_vma() guarantees "vaddr < vm_end" only.
2. After the prevous changes, register_for_each_vma() is the
only reason why vma_address() has to return loff_t, all other
users know that we have the valid mapping at this offset and
thus the overflow is not possible.
Change the code to use vaddr_to_offset() instead, imho this looks
more clean/understandable and now we can change vma_address().
3. While at it, remove the unnecessary type-cast.

Currently build_probe_list() builds the list of all uprobes
attached to the given inode, and the caller should filter out
those who don't fall into the [start,end) range, this is
sub-optimal.
This patch turns find_least_offset_node() into
find_node_in_range() which returns the first node inside the
[min,max] range, and changes build_probe_list() to use this node
as a starting point for rb_prev() and rb_next() to find all
other nodes the caller needs. The resulting list is no longer
sorted but we do not care.
This can speed up both build_probe_list() and the callers, but
there is another reason to introduce find_node_in_range(). It
can be used to figure out whether the given vma has uprobes or
not, this will be needed soon.
While at it, shift INIT_LIST_HEAD(tmp_list) into
build_probe_list().

uprobe_munmap() does get_user_pages() and it is also called from
the final mmput()->exit_mmap() path. This slows down
exit/mmput() for no reason, and I think it is simply
dangerous/wrong to try to fault-in a page into the dying mm. If
nothing else, this happens after the last sync_mm_rss(), afaics
handle_mm_fault() can change the task->rss_stat and make the
subsequent check_mm() unhappy.
Change uprobe_munmap() to check mm->mm_users != 0.

The bug was introduced by me in 449d0d7c ("uprobes: Simplify the
usage of uprobe->pending_list").
Yes, we do not care about uprobe->pending_list after return and
nobody can remove the current list entry, but put_uprobe(uprobe)
can actually free it and thus we need list_for_each_safe().

The comment above write_opcode()->lock_page(old_page) tells
about the race with do_wp_page(). I don't really understand
which exactly race it means, but afaics this lock_page() was not
enough to close all races with do_wp_page().
Anyway, since:
77fc4af1b59d uprobes: Change register_for_each_vma() to take mm->mmap_sem for writing
this code is always called with ->mmap_sem held for writing,
so we can forget about do_wp_page().
However, we can't simply remove this lock_page(), and the only
(afaics) reason is __replace_page()->try_to_free_swap().
Nothing in write_opcode() needs it, move it into
__replace_page() and fix the comment.

write_opcode() does lock_page(new_page) for no reason. Nobody
can see this page until __replace_page() exposes it under ptl
lock, and we do nothing with this page after pte_unmap_unlock().
If nothing else, the similar code in do_wp_page() doesn't lock
the new page for page_add_new_anon_rmap/set_pte_at_notify.

page_address_in_vma(old_page) in __replace_page() is ugly and
wrong. The caller already knows the correct virtual address,
this page was found by get_user_pages(vaddr).
However, page_address_in_vma() can actually fail if
page->mapping was cleared by __delete_from_page_cache() after
get_user_pages() returns. But this means the race with page
reclaim, write_opcode() should not fail, it should retry and
read this page again. Probably the race with remove_mapping() is
not possible due to page_freeze_refs() logic, but afaics at
least shmem_writepage()->shmem_delete_from_page_cache() can
clear ->mapping.
We could change __replace_page() to return -EAGAIN in this case,
but it would be better to simply use the caller's vaddr and rely
on page_check_address().

write_opcode() rechecks valid_vma() and ->f_mapping, this is
pointless. The caller, register_for_each_vma() or uprobe_mmap(),
has already done these checks under mmap_sem.
To clarify, uprobe_mmap() checks valid_vma() only, but we can
rely on build_probe_list(vm_file->f_mapping->host).

This adds symlink and hardlink restrictions to the Linux VFS.
Symlinks:
A long-standing class of security issues is the symlink-based
time-of-check-time-of-use race, most commonly seen in world-writable
directories like /tmp. The common method of exploitation of this flaw
is to cross privilege boundaries when following a given symlink (i.e. a
root process follows a symlink belonging to another user). For a likely
incomplete list of hundreds of examples across the years, please see:
http://cve.mitre.org/cgi-bin/cvekey.cgi?keyword=/tmp
The solution is to permit symlinks to only be followed when outside
a sticky world-writable directory, or when the uid of the symlink and
follower match, or when the directory owner matches the symlink's owner.
Some pointers to the history of earlier discussion that I could find:

Past objections and rebuttals could be summarized as:
- Violates POSIX.
- POSIX didn't consider this situation and it's not useful to follow
a broken specification at the cost of security.
- Might break unknown applications that use this feature.
- Applications that break because of the change are easy to spot and
fix. Applications that are vulnerable to symlink ToCToU by not having
the change aren't. Additionally, no applications have yet been found
that rely on this behavior.
- Applications should just use mkstemp() or O_CREATE|O_EXCL.
- True, but applications are not perfect, and new software is written
all the time that makes these mistakes; blocking this flaw at the
kernel is a single solution to the entire class of vulnerability.
- This should live in the core VFS.
- This should live in an LSM. (https://lkml.org/lkml/2010/5/31/135)

Hardlinks:
On systems that have user-writable directories on the same partition
as system files, a long-standing class of security issues is the
hardlink-based time-of-check-time-of-use race, most commonly seen in
world-writable directories like /tmp. The common method of exploitation
of this flaw is to cross privilege boundaries when following a given
hardlink (i.e. a root process follows a hardlink created by another
user). Additionally, an issue exists where users can "pin" a potentially
vulnerable setuid/setgid file so that an administrator will not actually
upgrade a system fully.
The solution is to permit hardlinks to only be created when the user is
already the existing file's owner, or if they already have read/write
access to the existing file.
Many Linux users are surprised when they learn they can link to files
they have no access to, so this change appears to follow the doctrine
of "least surprise". Additionally, this change does not violate POSIX,
which states "the implementation may require that the calling process
has permission to access the existing file"[1].
This change is known to break some implementations of the "at" daemon,
though the version used by Fedora and Ubuntu has been fixed[2] for
a while. Otherwise, the change has been undisruptive while in use in
Ubuntu for the last 1.5 years.

This patch is based on the patches in Openwall and grsecurity, along with
suggestions from Al Viro. I have added a sysctl to enable the protected
behavior, and documentation.

Recently, glibc made a change to suppress sign-conversion warnings in
FD_SET (glibc commit ceb9e56b3d1). This uncovered an issue with the
kernel's definition of __NFDBITS if applications #include
<linux/types.h> after including <sys/select.h>. A build failure would
be seen when passing the -Werror=sign-compare and -D_FORTIFY_SOURCE=2
flags to gcc.
It was suggested that the kernel should either match the glibc
definition of __NFDBITS or remove that entirely. The current in-kernel
uses of __NFDBITS can be replaced with BITS_PER_LONG, and there are no
uses of the related __FDELT and __FDMASK defines. Given that, we'll
continue the cleanup that was started with commit 8b3d1cda4f5f
("posix_types: Remove fd_set macros") and drop the remaining unused
macros.
Additionally, linux/time.h has similar macros defined that expand to
nothing so we'll remove those at the same time.

Otherwise they can't be filtered for a defined task:
perf record -e sched:sched_switch ./foo
This command doesn't report any events without this patch.
I think it isn't a security concern if someone knows who will
be executed next - this can already be observed by polling /proc
state. By default perf is disabled for non-root users in any case.
I need these events for profiling sleep times. sched_switch is used for
getting callchains and sched_stat_* is used for getting time periods.
These events are combined in user space, then it can be analyzed by
perf tools.

With the current state of irq_domain, the reverse map is always updated
when new IRQs get mapped. This means that the irq_find_mapping() function
can be simplified to execute the revmap lookup functions unconditionally
This patch adds lookup functions for the revmaps that don't yet have one
and removes the slow path lookup code path.
v8: Broke out unrelated changes into separate patches. Rebased on Paul's irq
association patches.
v7: Rebased to irqdomain/next for v3.4 and applied before the removal of 'hint'
v6: Remove the slow path entirely. The only place where the slow path
could get called is for a linear mapping if the hwirq number is larger
than the linear revmap size. There shouldn't be any interrupt
controllers that do that.
v5: rewrite to not use a ->revmap() callback. It is simpler, smaller,
safer and faster to open code each of the revmap lookups directly into
irq_find_mapping() via a switch statement.
v4: Fix build failure on incorrect variable reference.

infrastructure that makes sure async_synchronize_full() synchronizes
all domains and allows us to remove all the hacks (like having
scsi_complete_async_scans() in the device base code) and means that
the async infrastructure will "just work" in future.

Pull networking changes from David S Miller:
1) Remove the ipv4 routing cache. Now lookups go directly into the FIB
trie and use prebuilt routes cached there.
No more garbage collection, no more rDOS attacks on the routing
cache. Instead we now get predictable and consistent performance,
no matter what the pattern of traffic we service.
This has been almost 2 years in the making. Special thanks to
Julian Anastasov, Eric Dumazet, Steffen Klassert, and others who
have helped along the way.
I'm sure that with a change of this magnitude there will be some
kind of fallout, but such things ought the be simple to fix at this
point. Luckily I'm not European so I'll be around all of August to
fix things :-)
The major stages of this work here are each fronted by a forced
merge commit whose commit message contains a top-level description
of the motivations and implementation issues.
2) Pre-demux of established ipv4 TCP sockets, saves a route demux on
input.
3) TCP SYN/ACK performance tweaks from Eric Dumazet.
4) Add namespace support for netfilter L4 conntrack helpers, from Gao
Feng.
5) Add config mechanism for Energy Efficient Ethernet to ethtool, from
Yuval Mintz.
6) Remove quadratic behavior from /proc/net/unix, from Eric Dumazet.
7) Support for connection tracker helpers in userspace, from Pablo
Neira Ayuso.
8) Allow userspace driven TX load balancing functions in TEAM driver,
from Jiri Pirko.
9) Kill off NLMSG_PUT and RTA_PUT macros, more gross stuff with
embedded gotos.
10) TCP Small Queues, essentially minimize the amount of TCP data queued
up in the packet scheduler layer. Whereas the existing BQL (Byte
Queue Limits) limits the pkt_sched --> netdevice queuing levels,
this controls the TCP --> pkt_sched queueing levels.
From Eric Dumazet.
11) Reduce the number of get_page/put_page ops done on SKB fragments,
from Alexander Duyck.
12) Implement protection against blind resets in TCP (RFC 5961), from
Eric Dumazet.
13) Support the client side of TCP Fast Open, basically the ability to
send data in the SYN exchange, from Yuchung Cheng.
Basically, the sender queues up data with a sendmsg() call using
MSG_FASTOPEN, then they do the connect() which emits the queued up
fastopen data.
14) Avoid all the problems we get into in TCP when timers or PMTU events
hit a locked socket. The TCP Small Queues changes added a
tcp_release_cb() that allows us to queue work up to the
release_sock() caller, and that's what we use here too. From Eric
Dumazet.
15) Zero copy on TX support for TUN driver, from Michael S. Tsirkin.

commit 1e75fa8b (time: Condense timekeeper.xtime into xtime_sec)
introduced helper functions which apply a timespec to the core
internal timekeeper data. The internal storage type is u64. The
timespec tv_nsec value must be shifted before set or added to the
internal value. tv_nsec is a long, which is 32bit on a 32bit system,
so without casting tv_nsec to u64 we lose the bits which are shifted
over the 32bit boundary.
Add the proper typecasts.

If uaddr == uaddr2, then we have broken the rule of only requeueing
from a non-pi futex to a pi futex with this call. If we attempt this,
as the trinity test suite manages to do, we miss early wakeups as
q.key is equal to key2 (because they are the same uaddr). We will then
attempt to dereference the pi_mutex (which would exist had the futex_q
been properly requeued to a pi futex) and trigger a NULL pointer
dereference.

Stefan reported a crash on a kernel before a3e5d1091c1 ("sched:
Don't call task_group() too many times in set_task_rq()"), he
found the reason to be that the multiple task_group()
invocations in set_task_rq() returned different values.
Looking at all that I found a lack of serialization and plain
wrong comments.
The below tries to fix it using an extra pointer which is
updated under the appropriate scheduler locks. Its not pretty,
but I can't really see another way given how all the cgroup
stuff works.

of (pinned) task
Current load balance scheme requires only one cpu in a
sched_group (balance_cpu) to look at other peer sched_groups for
imbalance and pull tasks towards itself from a busy cpu. Tasks
thus pulled by balance_cpu could later get picked up by cpus
that are in the same sched_group as that of balance_cpu.
This scheme however fails to pull tasks that are not allowed to
run on balance_cpu (but are allowed to run on other cpus in its
sched_group). That can affect fairness and in some worst case
scenarios cause starvation.
Consider a two core (2 threads/core) system running tasks as
below:
Core0 Core1
/ \ / \
C0 C1 C2 C3
| | | |
v v v v
F0 T1 F1 [idle]
T2
F0 = SCHED_FIFO task (pinned to C0)
F1 = SCHED_FIFO task (pinned to C2)
T1 = SCHED_OTHER task (pinned to C1)
T2 = SCHED_OTHER task (pinned to C1 and C2)
F1 could become a cpu hog, which will starve T2 unless C1 pulls
it. Between C0 and C1 however, C0 is required to look for
imbalance between cores, which will fail to pull T2 towards
Core0. T2 will starve eternally in this case. The same scenario
can arise in presence of non-rt tasks as well (say we replace F1
with high irq load).
We tackle this problem by having balance_cpu move pinned tasks
to one of its sibling cpus (where they can run). We first check
if load balance goal can be met by ignoring pinned tasks,
failing which we retry move_tasks() with a new env->dst_cpu.
This patch modifies load balance semantics on who can move load
towards a given cpu in a given sched_domain.
Before this patch, a given_cpu or a ilb_cpu acting on behalf of
an idle given_cpu is responsible for moving load to given_cpu.
With this patch applied, balance_cpu can in addition decide on
moving some load to a given_cpu.
There is a remote possibility that excess load could get moved
as a result of this (balance_cpu and given_cpu/ilb_cpu deciding
*independently* and at *same* time to move some load to a
given_cpu). However we should see less of such conflicting
decisions in practice and moreover subsequent load balance
cycles should correct the excess load moved to given_cpu.

balance
While load balancing, if all tasks on the source runqueue are pinned,
we retry after excluding the corresponding source cpu. However, loop counters
env.loop and env.loop_break are not reset before retrying, which can lead
to failure in moving the tasks. In this patch we reset env.loop and
env.loop_break to their inital values before we retry.

perturbations
Traversing an entire package is not only expensive, it also leads to tasks
bouncing all over a partially idle and possible quite large package. Fix
that up by assigning a 'buddy' CPU to try to motivate. Each buddy may try
to motivate that one other CPU, if it's busy, tough, it may then try its
SMT sibling, but that's all this optimization is allowed to cost.
Sibling cache buddies are cross-wired to prevent bouncing.

Separate out the cpuset related handling for CPU/Memory online/offline.
This also helps us exploit the most obvious and basic level of optimization
that any notification mechanism (CPU/Mem online/offline) has to offer us:
"We *know* why we have been invoked. So stop pretending that we are lost,
and do only the necessary amount of processing!".
And while at it, rename scan_for_empty_cpusets() to
scan_cpusets_upon_hotplug(), which is more appropriate considering how
it is restructured.

At present, the functions that deal with cpusets during CPU/Mem hotplug
are quite messy, since a lot of the functionality is mixed up without clear
separation. And this takes a toll on optimization as well. For example,
the function cpuset_update_active_cpus() is called on both CPU offline and CPU
online events; and it invokes scan_for_empty_cpusets(), which makes sense
only for CPU offline events. And hence, the current code ends up unnecessarily
traversing the cpuset tree during CPU online also.
As a first step towards cleaning up those functions, encapsulate the cpuset
tree traversal in a helper function, so as to facilitate upcoming changes.

In the event of CPU hotplug, the kernel modifies the cpusets' cpus_allowed
masks as and when necessary to ensure that the tasks belonging to the cpusets
have some place (online CPUs) to run on. And regular CPU hotplug is
destructive in the sense that the kernel doesn't remember the original cpuset
configurations set by the user, across hotplug operations.
However, suspend/resume (which uses CPU hotplug) is a special case in which
the kernel has the responsibility to restore the system (during resume), to
exactly the same state it was in before suspend.
In order to achieve that, do the following:
1. Don't modify cpusets during suspend/resume. At all.
In particular, don't move the tasks from one cpuset to another, and
don't modify any cpuset's cpus_allowed mask. So, simply ignore cpusets
during the CPU hotplug operations that are carried out in the
suspend/resume path.
2. However, cpusets and sched domains are related. We just want to avoid
altering cpusets alone. So, to keep the sched domains updated, build
a single sched domain (containing all active cpus) during each of the
CPU hotplug operations carried out in s/r path, effectively ignoring
the cpusets' cpus_allowed masks.
(Since userspace is frozen while doing all this, it will go unnoticed.)
3. During the last CPU online operation during resume, build the sched
domains by looking up the (unaltered) cpusets' cpus_allowed masks.
That will bring back the system to the same original state as it was in
before suspend.
Ultimately, this will not only solve the cpuset problem related to suspend
resume (ie., restores the cpusets to exactly what it was before suspend, by
not touching it at all) but also speeds up suspend/resume because we avoid
running cpuset update code for every CPU being offlined/onlined.

git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/viro/vfs
Pull the big VFS changes from Al Viro:
"This one is *big* and changes quite a few things around VFS. What's in there:
- the first of two really major architecture changes - death to open
intents.
The former is finally there; it was very long in making, but with
Miklos getting through really hard and messy final push in
fs/namei.c, we finally have it. Unlike his variant, this one
doesn't introduce struct opendata; what we have instead is
->atomic_open() taking preallocated struct file * and passing
everything via its fields.
Instead of returning struct file *, it returns -E... on error, 0
on success and 1 in "deal with it yourself" case (e.g. symlink
found on server, etc.).
See comments before fs/namei.c:atomic_open(). That made a lot of
goodies finally possible and quite a few are in that pile:
->lookup(), ->d_revalidate() and ->create() do not get struct
nameidata * anymore; ->lookup() and ->d_revalidate() get lookup
flags instead, ->create() gets "do we want it exclusive" flag.
With the introduction of new helper (kern_path_locked()) we are rid
of all struct nameidata instances outside of fs/namei.c; it's still
visible in namei.h, but not for long. Come the next cycle,
declaration will move either to fs/internal.h or to fs/namei.c
itself. [me, miklos, hch]
- The second major change: behaviour of final fput(). Now we have
__fput() done without any locks held by caller *and* not from deep
in call stack.
That obviously lifts a lot of constraints on the locking in there.
Moreover, it's legal now to call fput() from atomic contexts (which
has immediately simplified life for aio.c). We also don't need
anti-recursion logics in __scm_destroy() anymore.
There is a price, though - the damn thing has become partially
asynchronous. For fput() from normal process we are guaranteed
that pending __fput() will be done before the caller returns to
userland, exits or gets stopped for ptrace.
For kernel threads and atomic contexts it's done via
schedule_work(), so theoretically we might need a way to make sure
it's finished; so far only one such place had been found, but there
might be more.
There's flush_delayed_fput() (do all pending __fput()) and there's
__fput_sync() (fput() analog doing __fput() immediately). I hope
we won't need them often; see warnings in fs/file_table.c for
details. [me, based on task_work series from Oleg merged last
cycle]
- sync series from Jan
- large part of "death to sync_supers()" work from Artem; the only
bits missing here are exofs and ext4 ones. As far as I understand,
those are going via the exofs and ext4 trees resp.; once they are
in, we can put ->write_super() to the rest, along with the thread
calling it.
- preparatory bits from unionmount series (from dhowells).
- assorted cleanups and fixes all over the place, as usual.
This is not the last pile for this cycle; there's at least jlayton's
ESTALE work and fsfreeze series (the latter - in dire need of fixes,
so I'm not sure it'll make the cut this cycle). I'll probably throw
symlink/hardlink restrictions stuff from Kees into the next pile, too.
Plus there's a lot of misc patches I hadn't thrown into that one -
it's large enough as it is..."

It doesn't matter on normal return to userland path (we'll recheck the
NOTIFY_RESUME flag anyway), but in case of exit_task_work() we'll
need that as soon as we get callbacks capable of triggering more
task_work_add().

task_work and rcu_head are identical now; merge them (calling the result
struct callback_head, rcu_head #define'd to it), kill separate allocation
in security/keys since we can just use cred->rcu now.
