Ryan Mallon 312b4e2269 vsprintf: check real user/group id for %pK
Some setuid binaries will allow reading of files which have read
permission by the real user id.  This is problematic with files which
use %pK because the file access permission is checked at open() time,
but the kptr_restrict setting is checked at read() time.  If a setuid
binary opens a %pK file as an unprivileged user, and then elevates
permissions before reading the file, then kernel pointer values may be
leaked.

This happens for example with the setuid pppd application on Ubuntu 12.04:

  $ head -1 /proc/kallsyms
  00000000 T startup_32

  $ pppd file /proc/kallsyms
  pppd: In file /proc/kallsyms: unrecognized option 'c1000000'

This will only leak the pointer value from the first line, but other
setuid binaries may leak more information.

Fix this by adding a check that in addition to the current process having
CAP_SYSLOG, that effective user and group ids are equal to the real ids.
If a setuid binary reads the contents of a file which uses %pK then the
pointer values will be printed as NULL if the real user is unprivileged.

Update the sysctl documentation to reflect the changes, and also correct
the documentation to state the kptr_restrict=0 is the default.

This is a only temporary solution to the issue.  The correct solution is
to do the permission check at open() time on files, and to replace %pK
with a function which checks the open() time permission.  %pK uses in
printk should be removed since no sane permission check can be done, and
instead protected by using dmesg_restrict.

Mel Gorman c78e93630d mm: do not walk all of system memory during show_mem
It has been reported on very large machines that show_mem is taking almost
5 minutes to display information.  This is a serious problem if there is
an OOM storm.  The bulk of the cost is in show_mem doing a very expensive
PFN walk to give us the following information

  Total RAM:       Also available as totalram_pages
  Highmem pages:   Also available as totalhigh_pages
  Reserved pages:  Can be inferred from the zone structure
  Shared pages:    PFN walk required
  Unshared pages:  PFN walk required
  Quick pages:     Per-cpu walk required

Only the shared/unshared pages requires a full PFN walk but that
information is useless.  It is also inaccurate as page pins of unshared
pages would be accounted for as shared.  Even if the information was
accurate, I'm struggling to think how the shared/unshared information
could be useful for debugging OOM conditions.  Maybe it was useful before
rmap existed when reclaiming shared pages was costly but it is less
relevant today.

The PFN walk could be optimised a bit but why bother as the information is
useless.  This patch deletes the PFN walker and infers the total RAM,
highmem and reserved pages count from struct zone.  It omits the
shared/unshared page usage on the grounds that it is useless.  It also
corrects the reporting of HighMem as HighMem/MovableOnly as ZONE_MOVABLE
has similar problems to HighMem with respect to lowmem/highmem exhaustion.

Linus Torvalds 8b5baa460b The main feature of interest this time is quota updates. There are
some clean ups and some patches to use the new generic lru list
 code. There is still plenty of scope for some further changes in
 due course - faster lookups of quota structures is very much
 on the todo list. Also, a start has been made towards the more tricky
 issue of using the generic lru code with glocks, but that will
 have to be completed in a subsequent merge window.
 
 The other, more minor feature, is that there have been a number of
 performance patches which relate to block allocation. In particular
 they will improve performance when the disk is nearly full.

Ming Lei 3d77b50c58 lib/scatterlist.c: don't flush_kernel_dcache_page on slab page
Commit b1adaf65ba ("[SCSI] block: add sg buffer copy helper
functions") introduces two sg buffer copy helpers, and calls
flush_kernel_dcache_page() on pages in SG list after these pages are
written to.

Unfortunately, the commit may introduce a potential bug:

 - Before sending some SCSI commands, kmalloc() buffer may be passed to
   block layper, so flush_kernel_dcache_page() can see a slab page
   finally

 - According to cachetlb.txt, flush_kernel_dcache_page() is only called
   on "a user page", which surely can't be a slab page.

 - ARCH's implementation of flush_kernel_dcache_page() may use page
   mapping information to do optimization so page_mapping() will see the
   slab page, then VM_BUG_ON() is triggered.

Aaro Koskinen reported the bug on ARM/kirkwood when DEBUG_VM is enabled,
and this patch fixes the bug by adding test of '!PageSlab(miter->page)'
before calling flush_kernel_dcache_page().

Steven Whitehouse e66cf16109 GFS2: Use lockref for glocks
Currently glocks have an atomic reference count and also a spinlock
which covers various internal fields, such as the state. This intent of
this patch is to replace the spinlock and the atomic reference count
with a lockref structure. This contains a spinlock which we can continue
to use as before, and a reference counter which is used in conjuction
with the spinlock to replace the previous atomic counter.

As a result of this there are some new rules for reference counting on
glocks. We need to distinguish between reference count changes under
gl_spin (which are now just increment or decrement of the new counter,
provided the count cannot hit zero) and those which are outside of
gl_spin, but which now take gl_spin internally.

The conversion is relatively straight forward. There is probably some
further clean up which can be done, but the priority at this stage is to
make the change in as simple a manner as possible.

A consequence of this change is that the reference count is being
decoupled from the lru list processing. This should allow future
adoption of the lru_list code with glocks in due course.

The reason for using the "dead" state and not just relying on 0 being
the "invalid state" is so that in due course 0 ref counts can be
allowable. The intent is to eventually be able to remove the ref count
changes which are currently hidden away in state_change().

Tejun Heo 26ea12dec0 kobject: grab an extra reference on kobject->sd to allow duplicate deletes
sysfs currently has a rather weird behavior regarding removals.  A
directory removal would delete all files directly under it but
wouldn't recurse into subdirectories, which, while a bit inconsistent,
seems to make sense at the first glance as each directory is
supposedly associated with a kobject and each kobject can take care of
the directory deletion; however, this doesn't really hold as we have
groups which can be directories without a kobject associated with it
and require explicit deletions.

We're in the process of separating out sysfs from kboject / driver
core and want a consistent behavior.  A removal should delete either
only the specified node or everything under it.  I think it is helpful
to support recursive atomic removal and later patches will implement
it.

Such change means that a sysfs_dirent associated with kobject may be
deleted before the kobject itself is removed if one of its ancestor
gets removed before it.  As sysfs_remove_dir() puts the base ref, we
may end up with dangling pointer on descendants.  This can be solved
by holding an extra reference on the sd from kobject.

Will Deacon d2212b4dce lockref: allow relaxed cmpxchg64 variant for lockless updates
The 64-bit cmpxchg operation on the lockref is ordered by virtue of
hazarding between the cmpxchg operation and the reference count
manipulation. On weakly ordered memory architectures (such as ARM), it
can be of great benefit to omit the barrier instructions where they are
not needed.

This patch moves the lockless lockref code over to a cmpxchg64_relaxed
operation, which doesn't provide barrier semantics. If the operation
isn't defined, we simply #define it as the usual 64-bit cmpxchg macro.

Tejun Heo cb26a31157 sysfs: drop kobj_ns_type handling
The way namespace tags are implemented in sysfs is more complicated
than necessary.  As each tag is a pointer value and required to be
non-NULL under a namespace enabled parent, there's no need to record
separately what type each tag is or where namespace is enabled.

If multiple namespace types are needed, which currently aren't, we can
simply compare the tag to a set of allowed tags in the superblock
assuming that the tags, being pointers, won't have the same value
across multiple types.  Also, whether to filter by namespace tag or
not can be trivially determined by whether the node has any tagged
children or not.

This patch rips out kobj_ns_type handling from sysfs.  sysfs no longer
cares whether specific type of namespace is enabled or not.  If a
sysfs_dirent has a non-NULL tag, the parent is marked as needing
namespace filtering and the value is tested against the allowed set of
tags for the superblock (currently only one but increasing this number
isn't difficult) and the sysfs_dirent is ignored if it doesn't match.

This removes most kobject namespace knowledge from sysfs proper which
will enable proper separation and layering of sysfs.  The namespace
sanity checks in fs/sysfs/dir.c are replaced by the new sanity check
in kobject_namespace().  As this is the only place ktype->namespace()
is called for sysfs, this doesn't weaken the sanity check
significantly.  I omitted converting the sanity check in
sysfs_do_create_link_sd().  While the check can be shifted to upper
layer, mistakes there are well contained and should be easily visible
anyway.

Tejun Heo e34ff49061 sysfs: remove ktype->namespace() invocations in directory code
For some unrecognizable reason, namespace information is communicated
to sysfs through ktype->namespace() callback when there's *nothing*
which needs the use of a callback.  The whole sequence of operations
is completely synchronous and sysfs operations simply end up calling
back into the layer which just invoked it in order to find out the
namespace information, which is completely backwards, obfuscates
what's going on and unnecessarily tangles two separate layers.

This patch doesn't remove ktype->namespace() but shifts its handling
to kobject layer.  We probably want to get rid of the callback in the
long term.

This patch adds an explicit param to sysfs_{create|rename|move}_dir()
and renames them to sysfs_{create|rename|move}_dir_ns(), respectively.
ktype->namespace() invocations are moved to the calling sites of the
above functions.  A new helper kboject_namespace() is introduced which
directly tests kobj_ns_type_operations->type which should give the
same result as testing sysfs_fs_type(parent_sd) and returns @kobj's
namespace tag as necessary.  kobject_namespace() is extern as it will
be used from another file in the following patches.

This patch should be an equivalent conversion without any functional
difference.

Will Deacon 8f4c344696 lockref: use cmpxchg64 explicitly for lockless updates
The cmpxchg() function tends not to support 64-bit arguments on 32-bit
architectures.  This could be either due to use of unsigned long
arguments (like on ARM) or lack of instruction support (cmpxchgq on
x86).  However, these architectures may implement a specific cmpxchg64()
function to provide 64-bit cmpxchg support instead.

Since the lockref code requires a 64-bit cmpxchg and relies on the
architecture selecting ARCH_USE_CMPXCHG_LOCKREF, move to using cmpxchg64
instead of cmpxchg and allow 32-bit architectures to make use of the
lockless lockref implementation.

Jan Kara 5e4c0d9741 lib/radix-tree.c: make radix_tree_node_alloc() work correctly within interrupt
With users of radix_tree_preload() run from interrupt (block/blk-ioc.c is
one such possible user), the following race can happen:

radix_tree_preload()
...
radix_tree_insert()
  radix_tree_node_alloc()
    if (rtp->nr) {
      ret = rtp->nodes[rtp->nr - 1];
<interrupt>
...
radix_tree_preload()
...
radix_tree_insert()
  radix_tree_node_alloc()
    if (rtp->nr) {
      ret = rtp->nodes[rtp->nr - 1];

And we give out one radix tree node twice.  That clearly results in radix
tree corruption with different results (usually OOPS) depending on which
two users of radix tree race.

We fix the problem by making radix_tree_node_alloc() always allocate fresh
radix tree nodes when in interrupt.  Using preloading when in interrupt
doesn't make sense since all the allocations have to be atomic anyway and
we cannot steal nodes from process-context users because some users rely
on radix_tree_insert() succeeding after radix_tree_preload().
in_interrupt() check is somewhat ugly but we cannot simply key off passed
gfp_mask as that is acquired from root_gfp_mask() and thus the same for
all preload users.

Another part of the fix is to avoid node preallocation in
radix_tree_preload() when passed gfp_mask doesn't allow waiting.  Again,
preallocation in such case doesn't make sense and when preallocation would
happen in interrupt we could possibly leak some allocated nodes.  However,
some users of radix_tree_preload() require following radix_tree_insert()
to succeed.  To avoid unexpected effects for these users,
radix_tree_preload() only warns if passed gfp mask doesn't allow waiting
and we provide a new function radix_tree_maybe_preload() for those users
which get different gfp mask from different call sites and which are
prepared to handle radix_tree_insert() failure.

Cody P Schafer 9dee5c5151 rbtree: add postorder iteration functions
Postorder iteration yields all of a node's children prior to yielding the
node itself, and this particular implementation also avoids examining the
leaf links in a node after that node has been yielded.

In what I expect will be its most common usage, postorder iteration allows
the deletion of every node in an rbtree without modifying the rbtree nodes
(no _requirement_ that they be nulled) while avoiding referencing child
nodes after they have been "deleted" (most commonly, freed).

I have only updated zswap to use this functionality at this point, but
numerous bits of code (most notably in the filesystem drivers) use a hand
rolled postorder iteration that NULLs child links as it traverses the
tree.  Each of those instances could be replaced with this common
implementation.

1 & 2 add rbtree postorder iteration functions.
3 adds testing of the iteration to the rbtree runtime tests
4 allows building the rbtree runtime tests as builtins
5 updates zswap.

This patch:

Add postorder iteration functions for rbtree.  These are useful for safely
freeing an entire rbtree without modifying the tree at all.

Alexandre Courbot 1431574a1c lib/decompressors: fix "no limit" output buffer length
When decompressing into memory, the output buffer length is set to some
arbitrarily high value (0x7fffffff) to indicate the output is, virtually,
unlimited in size.

The problem with this is that some platforms have their physical memory at
high physical addresses (0x80000000 or more), and that the output buffer
address and its "unlimited" length cannot be added without overflowing.
An example of this can be found in inflate_fast():

/* next_out is the output buffer address */
out = strm->next_out - OFF;
/* avail_out is the output buffer size. end will overflow if the output
 * address is >= 0x80000104 */
end = out + (strm->avail_out - 257);

This has huge consequences on the performance of kernel decompression,
since the following exit condition of inflate_fast() will be always true:

} while (in < last && out < end);

Indeed, "end" has overflowed and is now always lower than "out".  As a
result, inflate_fast() will return after processing one single byte of
input data, and will thus need to be called an unreasonably high number of
times.  This probably went unnoticed because kernel decompression is fast
enough even with this issue.

Nonetheless, adjusting the output buffer length in such a way that the
above pointer arithmetic never overflows results in a kernel decompression
that is about 3 times faster on affected machines.

Joonyoung Shim 674470d979 lib/genalloc.c: fix overflow of ending address of memory chunk
In struct gen_pool_chunk, end_addr means the end address of memory chunk
(inclusive), but in the implementation it is treated as address + size of
memory chunk (exclusive), so it points to the address plus one instead of
correct ending address.

The ending address of memory chunk plus one will cause overflow on the
memory chunk including the last address of memory map, e.g.  when starting
address is 0xFFF00000 and size is 0x100000 on 32bit machine, ending
address will be 0x100000000.

Use correct ending address like starting address + size - 1.

Linus Torvalds 7426d62871 Add the ability to collect I/O statistics on user-defined regions of a
device-mapper device.  This dm-stats code required the reintroduction of
 a div64_u64_rem() helper, but as a separate method that doesn't slow
 down div64_u64() -- especially on 32-bit systems.
 
 Allow the error target to replace request-based DM devices
 (e.g. multipath) in addition to bio-based DM devices.
 
 Various other small code fixes and improvements to thin-provisioning, DM
 cache and the DM ioctl interface.

Kent Overstreet 798ab48eec idr: Percpu ida
Percpu frontend for allocating ids. With percpu allocation (that works),
it's impossible to guarantee it will always be possible to allocate all
nr_tags - typically, some will be stuck on a remote percpu freelist
where the current job can't get to them.

We do guarantee that it will always be possible to allocate at least
(nr_tags / 2) tags - this is done by keeping track of which and how many
cpus have tags on their percpu freelists. On allocation failure if
enough cpus have tags that there could potentially be (nr_tags / 2) tags
stuck on remote percpu freelists, we then pick a remote cpu at random to
steal from.

Note that there's no cpu hotplug notifier - we don't care, because
steal_tags() will eventually get the down cpu's tags. We _could_ satisfy
more allocations if we had a notifier - but we'll still meet our
guarantees and it's absolutely not a correctness issue, so I don't think
it's worth the extra code.

From akpm:

    "It looks OK to me (that's as close as I get to an ack :))

v6 changes:
  - Add #include <linux/cpumask.h> to include/linux/percpu_ida.h to
    make alpha/arc builds happy (Fengguang)
  - Move second (cpu >= nr_cpu_ids) check inside of first check scope
    in steal_tags() (akpm + nab)

v5 changes:
  - Change percpu_ida->cpus_have_tags to cpumask_t (kmo + akpm)
  - Add comment for percpu_ida_cpu->lock + ->nr_free (kmo + akpm)
  - Convert steal_tags() to use cpumask_weight() + cpumask_next() +
    cpumask_first() + cpumask_clear_cpu() (kmo + akpm)
  - Add comment for alloc_global_tags() (kmo + akpm)
  - Convert percpu_ida_alloc() to use cpumask_set_cpu() (kmo + akpm)
  - Convert percpu_ida_free() to use cpumask_set_cpu() (kmo + akpm)
  - Drop percpu_ida->cpus_have_tags allocation in percpu_ida_init()
    (kmo + akpm)
  - Drop percpu_ida->cpus_have_tags kfree in percpu_ida_destroy()
    (kmo + akpm)
  - Add comment for percpu_ida_alloc @ gfp (kmo + akpm)
  - Move to percpu_ida.c + percpu_ida.h (kmo + akpm + nab)

v4 changes:

  - Fix tags.c reference in percpu_ida_init (akpm)
