Jann Horn a13f085d11 reiserfs: fix broken xattr handling (heap corruption, bad retval)
This fixes the following issues:

- When a buffer size is supplied to reiserfs_listxattr() such that each
  individual name fits, but the concatenation of all names doesn't fit,
  reiserfs_listxattr() overflows the supplied buffer.  This leads to a
  kernel heap overflow (verified using KASAN) followed by an out-of-bounds
  usercopy and is therefore a security bug.

- When a buffer size is supplied to reiserfs_listxattr() such that a
  name doesn't fit, -ERANGE should be returned.  But reiserfs instead just
  truncates the list of names; I have verified that if the only xattr on a
  file has a longer name than the supplied buffer length, listxattr()
  incorrectly returns zero.

With my patch applied, -ERANGE is returned in both cases and the memory
corruption doesn't happen anymore.

Credit for making me clean this code up a bit goes to Al Viro, who pointed
out that the ->actor calling convention is suboptimal and should be
changed.

Arnd Bergmann 8b73ce6a4b reiserfs: change j_timestamp type to time64_t
This uses the deprecated time_t type but is write-only, and could be
removed, but as Jeff explains, having a timestamp can be usefule for
post-mortem analysis in crash dumps.

In order to remove one of the last instances of time_t, this changes the
type to time64_t, same as j_trans_start_time.

Arnd Bergmann 5b1d149c89 reiserfs: remove obsolete print_time function
Before linux-2.4.6, print_time() was used to pretty-print an inode time
when running reiserfs in user space, after that it has become obsolete and
is still a bit incorrect: It behaves differently on 32-bit and 64-bit
machines, and uses a static buffer to hold a string, which could lead to
undefined behavior if we ever called this from multiple places
simultaneously.

Since we always want to treat the timestamps as 'unsigned' anyway, simply
printing them as an integer is both simpler and safer while avoiding the
deprecated time_t type.

Arnd Bergmann 34d082604a reiserfs: use monotonic time for j_trans_start_time
Using CLOCK_REALTIME time_t timestamps breaks on 32-bit systems in 2038,
and gives surprising results with a concurrent settimeofday().

This changes the reiserfs journal timestamps to use ktime_get_seconds()
instead, which makes it use a 64-bit CLOCK_MONOTONIC stamp.

In the procfs output, the monotonic timestamp needs to be converted back
to CLOCK_REALTIME to keep the existing ABI.

Ernesto A. Fernández afd6c9e1f5 hfsplus: fix decomposition of Hangul characters
Files created under macOS cannot be opened under linux if their names
contain Korean characters, and vice versa.

The Korean alphabet is special because its normalization is done without a
table.  The module deals with it correctly when composing, but forgets
about it for the decomposition.

Fix this using the Hangul decomposition function provided in the Unicode
Standard.  The code fits a bit awkwardly because it requires a buffer,
while all the other normalizations are returned as pointers to the
decomposition table.  This is actually also a bug because reordering may
still be needed, but for now leave it as it is.

The patch will cause trouble for Hangul filenames already created by the
module in the past.  This shouldn't really be concern because its main
purpose was always sharing with macOS.  If a user actually needs to access
such a file the nodecompose mount option should be enough.

Ernesto A. Fernández 31651c6071 hfsplus: avoid deadlock on file truncation
After an extent is removed from the extent tree, the corresponding bits
are also cleared from the block allocation file.  This is currently done
without releasing the tree lock.

The problem is that the allocation file has extents of its own; if it is
fragmented enough, some of them may be in the extent tree as well, and
hfsplus_get_block() will try to take the lock again.

To avoid deadlock, only hold the extent tree lock during the actual tree
operations.

Ian Kent cbf6898fd6 autofs: add AUTOFS_EXP_FORCED flag
The userspace automount(8) daemon is meant to perform a forced expire when
sent a SIGUSR2.

But since the expiration is routed through the kernel and the kernel
doesn't send an expire request if the mount is busy this hasn't worked at
least since autofs version 5.

Add an AUTOFS_EXP_FORCED flag to allow implemention of the feature and
bump the protocol version so user space can check if it's implemented if
needed.

Ian Kent d4d79b8195 autofs: fix directory and symlink access
Depending on how it is configured the autofs user space daemon can leave
in use mounts mounted at exit and re-connect to them at start up.  But for
this to work best the state of the autofs file system needs to be left
intact over the restart.

Also, at system shutdown, mounts in an autofs file system might be
umounted exposing a mount point trigger for which subsequent access can
lead to a hang.  So recent versions of automount(8) now does its best to
set autofs file system mounts catatonic at shutdown.

When autofs file system mounts are catatonic it's currently possible to
create and remove directories and symlinks which can be a problem at
restart, as described above.

So return EACCES in the directory, symlink and unlink methods if the
autofs file system is catatonic.

Davidlohr Bueso 679abf381a fs/eventpoll.c: loosen irq safety in ep_poll()
Similar to other calls, ep_poll() is not called with interrupts disabled,
and we can therefore avoid the irq save/restore dance and just disable
local irqs.  In fact, the call should never be called in irq context at
all, considering that the only path is

epoll_wait(2) -> do_epoll_wait() -> ep_poll().

When running on a 2 socket 40-core (ht) IvyBridge a common pipe based
epoll_wait(2) microbenchmark, the following performance improvements are
seen:

    # threads       vanilla         dirty
	 1          1805587	    2106412
	 2          1854064	    2090762

	 64          787368	     900784

Which is a pretty constantly near 15%.

Also add a lockdep check such that we detect any mischief before
deadlocking.

Joe Perches 5629411279 checkpatch: fix SPDX license check with --root=<path>
checkpatch uses the in-kernel script spdxcheck.py to validate the specific
license in a file or script.

This check can currently fail for a couple reasons:

o spdxcheck.py assumes the existence of git tree that may not
  exist for a bare source tree from something like a tarball
o the spdxcheck.py must be run from the top level root directory

So add a git existence test and set the subprocess subdirectory.

Joe Perches 8c8c45cfdd checkpatch: fix macro argument reuse test
Multiple line macro definitions where the arguments are separated by line
continuations can cause checkpatch to emit invalid syntax regex tests.

This can occur when a single argument is modified in a part of a patch.

For example: (to not add a diff in the commit message)

$ ./scripts/checkpatch.pl --git db023296f0
Unterminated \g... pattern in regex; <very long regex omitted>

And, the test does not work correctly when these arguments are all new as
the initial patch line addition "+" is used in the argument name.

Fix this by stripping the line continuations and any "+" from the list of
arguments.

Joe Perches 5b57980de6 checkpatch: improve runtime execution speed a little
checkpatch repeatedly uses a runtime minimum version check that validates
the minimum perl version required for a regex match by using a "$^V ge
5.10.0" runtime string match.

Only perform that minimum version test once and store the result to reduce
string matching time.

This reduces runtime execution time for patches or files with high line
counts.

An example runtime improvement:

architectures because neither bool size nor alignment is standardized.

So emit a message on the use of bool in structs only in .h files and not

There is the real possibility that this test could have a false positive
when a bool is declared as an automatic, so limit the test to .h files
where the only false positive is for declarations in static inline
functions.

Coly Li feba04fd2c lib: add crc64 calculation routines
Patch series "add crc64 calculation as kernel library", v5.

This patchset adds basic implementation of crc64 calculation as a Linux
kernel library.  Since bcache already does crc64 by itself, this patchset
also modifies bcache code to use the new crc64 library routine.

Currently bcache is the only user of crc64 calculation, another potential
user is bcachefs which is on the way to be in mainline kernel.  Therefore
it makes sense to make crc64 calculation to be a public library.

bcache uses crc64 as storage checksum, if a change of crc lib routines
results an inconsistent result, the unmatched checksum may make bcache
'think' the on-disk is corrupted, such a change should be avoided or
detected as early as possible.  Therefore a patch is being prepared which
adds a crc test framework, to check consistency of different calculations.

This patch (of 2):

Add the re-write crc64 calculation routines for Linux kernel.  The CRC64
polynomical arithmetic follows ECMA-182 specification, inspired by CRC
paper of Dr.  Ross N.  Williams (see
http://www.ross.net/crc/download/crc_v3.txt) and other public domain
implementations.

All the changes work in this way,
- When Linux kernel is built, host program lib/gen_crc64table.c will be
  compiled to lib/gen_crc64table and executed.
- The output of gen_crc64table execution is an array called as lookup
  table (a.k.a POLY 0x42f0e1eba9ea369) which contain 256 64-bit long
  numbers, this table is dumped into header file lib/crc64table.h.
- Then the header file is included by lib/crc64.c for normal 64bit crc
  calculation.
- Function declaration of the crc64 calculation routines is placed in
  include/linux/crc64.h

Currently bcache is the only user of crc64_be(), another potential user is
bcachefs which is on the way to be in mainline kernel.  Therefore it makes
sense to move crc64 calculation into lib/crc64.c as public code.

Davidlohr Bueso 92e6417840 s/epoll: robustify irq safety with lockdep_assert_irqs_enabled()
Sprinkle lockdep_assert_irqs_enabled() checks in the functions that do not
save and restore interrupts when dealing with the ep->wq.lock.  These are
ep_scan_ready_list() and those called by epoll_ctl(): ep_insert, ep_modify
and ep_remove.

Davidlohr Bueso 304b18b8d6 fs/epoll: loosen irq safety in epoll_insert() and epoll_remove()
Both functions are similar to the context of ep_modify(), called via
epoll_ctl(2).  Just like ep_modify(), saving and restoring interrupts is
an overkill in these calls as it will never be called with irqs disabled.
While ep_remove() can be called directly from EPOLL_CTL_DEL, it can also
be called when releasing the file, but this also complies with the above.

Davidlohr Bueso 002b343669 fs/epoll: loosen irq safety in ep_scan_ready_list()
Patch series "fs/epoll: loosen irq safety when possible".

Both patches replace saving+restoring interrupts when taking the ep->lock
(now the waitqueue lock), with just disabling local irqs.  This shows
immediate performance benefits in patch 1 for an epoll workload running on
Xen.  The main concern we need to have with this sort of changes in epoll
is the ep_poll_callback() which is passed to the wait queue wakeup and is
done very often under irq context, this patch does not touch this call.

Patches have been tested pretty heavily with the customer workload,
microbenchmarks, ltp testcases and two high level workloads that use epoll
under the hood: nginx and libevent benchmarks.

This patch (of 2):

Saving and restoring interrupts in ep_scan_ready_list() is an
overkill as it is never called with interrupts disabled. Loosen
this to simply disabling local irqs such that archs where managing
irqs is expensive or virtual environments. This patch yields
some throughput improvements on a workload that is epoll intensive
running on a single Xen DomU.

1 Job	 7500	-->    8800 enq/s  (+17%)
2 Jobs	14000   -->   15200 enq/s  (+8%)
3 Jobs	20500	-->   22300 enq/s  (+8%)
4 Jobs	25000   -->   28000 enq/s  (+8-12)%

On bare metal:

For a 2-socket 40-core (ht) IvyBridge on a few workloads, unfortunately I
don't have a xen environment and the results for Xen I do have (which
numbers are in patch 1) I don't have the actual workload, so cannot
compare them directly.

1) Different configurations were used for a epoll_wait (pipes io)
   microbench (http://linux-scalability.org/epoll/epoll-test.c) and shows
   around a 7-10% improvement in overall total number of times the
   epoll_wait() loops when using both regular and nested epolls, so very
   raw numbers, but measurable nonetheless.

   Note that stddev is pretty small.

2) Another pipe test, which shows no real measurable improvement.
