2017-07-06mm, memory_hotplug: drop CONFIG_MOVABLE_NODEMichal Hocko
Commit 20b2f52b73fe ("numa: add CONFIG_MOVABLE_NODE for movable-dedicated node") has introduced CONFIG_MOVABLE_NODE without a good explanation on why it is actually useful. It makes a lot of sense to make movable node semantic opt in but we already have that because the feature has to be explicitly enabled on the kernel command line. A config option on top only makes the configuration space larger without a good reason. It also adds an additional ifdefery that pollutes the code. Just drop the config option and make it de-facto always enabled. This shouldn't introduce any change to the semantic.

2017-07-06mm: allow slab_nomerge to be set at build timeKees Cook
Some hardened environments want to build kernels with slab_nomerge already set (so that they do not depend on remembering to set the kernel command line option). This is desired to reduce the risk of kernel heap overflows being able to overwrite objects from merged caches and changes the requirements for cache layout control, increasing the difficulty of these attacks. By keeping caches unmerged, these kinds of exploits can usually only damage objects in the same cache (though the risk to metadata exploitation is unchanged).

git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/jmorris/linux-security Pull security layer updates from James Morris: - a major update for AppArmor. From JJ: * several bug fixes and cleanups * the patch to add symlink support to securityfs that was floated on the list earlier and the apparmorfs changes that make use of securityfs symlinks * it introduces the domain labeling base code that Ubuntu has been carrying for several years, with several cleanups applied. And it converts the current mediation over to using the domain labeling base, which brings domain stacking support with it. This finally will bring the base upstream code in line with Ubuntu and provide a base to upstream the new feature work that Ubuntu carries. * This does _not_ contain any of the newer apparmor mediation features/controls (mount, signals, network, keys, ...) that Ubuntu is currently carrying, all of which will be RFC'd on top of this. - Notable also is the Infiniband work in SELinux, and the new file:map permission. From Paul: "While we're down to 21 patches for v4.13 (it was 31 for v4.12), the diffstat jumps up tremendously with over 2k of line changes. Almost all of these changes are the SELinux/IB work done by Daniel Jurgens; some other noteworthy changes include a NFS v4.2 labeling fix, a new file:map permission, and reporting of policy capabilities on policy load" There's also now genfscon labeling support for tracefs, which was lost in v4.1 with the separation from debugfs. - Smack incorporates a safer socket check in file_receive, and adds a cap_capable call in privilege check. - TPM as usual has a bunch of fixes and enhancements. - Multiple calls to security_add_hooks() can now be made for the same LSM, to allow LSMs to have hook declarations across multiple files. - IMA now supports different "ima_appraise=" modes (eg. log, fix) from the boot command line. * 'next' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/jmorris/linux-security: (126 commits) apparmor: put back designators in struct initialisers seccomp: Switch from atomic_t to recount_t seccomp: Adjust selftests to avoid double-join seccomp: Clean up core dump logic IMA: update IMA policy documentation to include pcr= option ima: Log the same audit cause whenever a file has no signature ima: Simplify policy_func_show. integrity: Small code improvements ima: fix get_binary_runtime_size() ima: use ima_parse_buf() to parse template data ima: use ima_parse_buf() to parse measurements headers ima: introduce ima_parse_buf() ima: Add cgroups2 to the defaults list ima: use memdup_user_nul ima: fix up #endif comments IMA: Correct Kconfig dependencies for hash selection ima: define is_ima_appraise_enabled() ima: define Kconfig IMA_APPRAISE_BOOTPARAM option ima: define a set of appraisal rules requiring file signatures ima: extend the "ima_policy" boot command line to support multiple policies ...

git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/rafael/linux-pm Pull power management updates from Rafael Wysocki: "The big ticket items here are the rework of suspend-to-idle in order to add proper support for power button wakeup from it on recent Dell laptops and the rework of interfaces exporting the current CPU frequency on x86. In addition to that, support for a few new pieces of hardware is added, the PCI/ACPI device wakeup infrastructure is simplified significantly and the wakeup IRQ framework is fixed to unbreak the IRQ bus locking infrastructure. Also, there are some functional improvements for intel_pstate, tools updates and small fixes and cleanups all over. Specifics: - Rework suspend-to-idle to allow it to take wakeup events signaled by the EC into account on ACPI-based platforms in order to properly support power button wakeup from suspend-to-idle on recent Dell laptops (Rafael Wysocki). That includes the core suspend-to-idle code rework, support for the Low Power S0 _DSM interface, and support for the ACPI INT0002 Virtual GPIO device from Hans de Goede (required for USB keyboard wakeup from suspend-to-idle to work on some machines). - Stop trying to export the current CPU frequency via /proc/cpuinfo on x86 as that is inaccurate and confusing (Len Brown). - Rework the way in which the current CPU frequency is exported by the kernel (over the cpufreq sysfs interface) on x86 systems with the APERF and MPERF registers by always using values read from these registers, when available, to compute the current frequency regardless of which cpufreq driver is in use (Len Brown). - Rework the PCI/ACPI device wakeup infrastructure to remove the questionable and artificial distinction between "devices that can wake up the system from sleep states" and "devices that can generate wakeup signals in the working state" from it, which allows the code to be simplified quite a bit (Rafael Wysocki). - Fix the wakeup IRQ framework by making it use SRCU instead of RCU which doesn't allow sleeping in the read-side critical sections, but which in turn is expected to be allowed by the IRQ bus locking infrastructure (Thomas Gleixner). - Modify some computations in the intel_pstate driver to avoid rounding errors resulting from them (Srinivas Pandruvada). - Reduce the overhead of the intel_pstate driver in the HWP (hardware-managed P-states) mode and when the "performance" P-state selection algorithm is in use by making it avoid registering scheduler callbacks in those cases (Len Brown). - Rework the energy_performance_preference sysfs knob in intel_pstate by changing the values that correspond to different symbolic hint names used by it (Len Brown). - Make it possible to use more than one cpuidle driver at the same time on ARM (Daniel Lezcano). - Make it possible to prevent the cpuidle menu governor from using the 0 state by disabling it via sysfs (Nicholas Piggin). - Add support for FFH (Fixed Functional Hardware) MWAIT in ACPI C1 on AMD systems (Yazen Ghannam). - Make the CPPC cpufreq driver take the lowest nonlinear performance information into account (Prashanth Prakash). - Add support for hi3660 to the cpufreq-dt driver, fix the imx6q driver and clean up the sfi, exynos5440 and intel_pstate drivers (Colin Ian King, Krzysztof Kozlowski, Octavian Purdila, Rafael Wysocki, Tao Wang). - Fix a few minor issues in the generic power domains (genpd) framework and clean it up somewhat (Krzysztof Kozlowski, Mikko Perttunen, Viresh Kumar). - Fix a couple of minor issues in the operating performance points (OPP) framework and clean it up somewhat (Viresh Kumar). - Fix a CONFIG dependency in the hibernation core and clean it up slightly (Balbir Singh, Arvind Yadav, BaoJun Luo). - Add rk3228 support to the rockchip-io adaptive voltage scaling (AVS) driver (David Wu). - Fix an incorrect bit shift operation in the RAPL power capping driver (Adam Lessnau). - Add support for the EPP field in the HWP (hardware managed P-states) control register, HWP.EPP, to the x86_energy_perf_policy tool and update msr-index.h with HWP.EPP values (Len Brown). - Fix some minor issues in the turbostat tool (Len Brown). - Add support for AMD family 0x17 CPUs to the cpupower tool and fix a minor issue in it (Sherry Hurwitz). - Assorted cleanups, mostly related to the constification of some data structures (Arvind Yadav, Joe Perches, Kees Cook, Krzysztof Kozlowski)" * tag 'pm-4.13-rc1' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/rafael/linux-pm: (69 commits) cpufreq: Update scaling_cur_freq documentation cpufreq: intel_pstate: Clean up after performance governor changes PM: hibernate: constify attribute_group structures. cpuidle: menu: allow state 0 to be disabled intel_idle: Use more common logging style PM / Domains: Fix missing default_power_down_ok comment PM / Domains: Fix unsafe iteration over modified list of domains PM / Domains: Fix unsafe iteration over modified list of domain providers PM / Domains: Fix unsafe iteration over modified list of device links PM / Domains: Handle safely genpd_syscore_switch() call on non-genpd device PM / Domains: Call driver's noirq callbacks PM / core: Drop run_wake flag from struct dev_pm_info PCI / PM: Simplify device wakeup settings code PCI / PM: Drop pme_interrupt flag from struct pci_dev ACPI / PM: Consolidate device wakeup settings code ACPI / PM: Drop run_wake from struct acpi_device_wakeup_flags PM / QoS: constify *_attribute_group.

2017-06-21ima: define a set of appraisal rules requiring file signaturesMimi Zohar
The builtin "ima_appraise_tcb" policy should require file signatures for at least a few of the hooks (eg. kernel modules, firmware, and the kexec kernel image), but changing it would break the existing userspace/kernel ABI. This patch defines a new builtin policy named "secure_boot", which can be specified on the "ima_policy=" boot command line, independently or in conjunction with the "ima_appraise_tcb" policy, by specifing ima_policy="appraise_tcb | secure_boot". The new appraisal rules requiring file signatures will be added prior to the "ima_appraise_tcb" rules.

2017-06-19mm: larger stack guard gap, between vmasHugh Dickins
Stack guard page is a useful feature to reduce a risk of stack smashing into a different mapping. We have been using a single page gap which is sufficient to prevent having stack adjacent to a different mapping. But this seems to be insufficient in the light of the stack usage in userspace. E.g. glibc uses as large as 64kB alloca() in many commonly used functions. Others use constructs liks gid_t buffer[NGROUPS_MAX] which is 256kB or stack strings with MAX_ARG_STRLEN. This will become especially dangerous for suid binaries and the default no limit for the stack size limit because those applications can be tricked to consume a large portion of the stack and a single glibc call could jump over the guard page. These attacks are not theoretical, unfortunatelly. Make those attacks less probable by increasing the stack guard gap to 1MB (on systems with 4k pages; but make it depend on the page size because systems with larger base pages might cap stack allocations in the PAGE_SIZE units) which should cover larger alloca() and VLA stack allocations. It is obviously not a full fix because the problem is somehow inherent, but it should reduce attack space a lot. One could argue that the gap size should be configurable from userspace, but that can be done later when somebody finds that the new 1MB is wrong for some special case applications. For now, add a kernel command line option (stack_guard_gap) to specify the stack gap size (in page units). Implementation wise, first delete all the old code for stack guard page: because although we could get away with accounting one extra page in a stack vma, accounting a larger gap can break userspace - case in point, a program run with "ulimit -S -v 20000" failed when the 1MB gap was counted for RLIMIT_AS; similar problems could come with RLIMIT_MLOCK and strict non-overcommit mode. Instead of keeping gap inside the stack vma, maintain the stack guard gap as a gap between vmas: using vm_start_gap() in place of vm_start (or vm_end_gap() in place of vm_end if VM_GROWSUP) in just those few places which need to respect the gap - mainly arch_get_unmapped_area(), and and the vma tree's subtree_gap support for that.

2017-06-08rcu: Remove *_SLOW_* Kconfig optionsPaul E. McKenney
The RCU_TORTURE_TEST_SLOW_PREINIT, RCU_TORTURE_TEST_SLOW_PREINIT_DELAY, RCU_TORTURE_TEST_SLOW_PREINIT_DELAY, RCU_TORTURE_TEST_SLOW_INIT, RCU_TORTURE_TEST_SLOW_INIT_DELAY, RCU_TORTURE_TEST_SLOW_CLEANUP, and RCU_TORTURE_TEST_SLOW_CLEANUP_DELAY Kconfig options are only useful for torture testing, and there are the rcutree.gp_cleanup_delay, rcutree.gp_init_delay, and rcutree.gp_preinit_delay kernel boot parameters that rcutorture can use instead. The effect of these parameters is to artificially slow down grace period initialization and cleanup in order to make some types of race conditions happen more often. This commit therefore simplifies Tree RCU a bit by removing the Kconfig options and adding the corresponding kernel parameters to rcutorture's .boot files instead. However, this commit also leaves out the kernel parameters for TREE02, TREE04, and TREE07 in order to have about the same number of tests slowed as not slowed. TREE01, TREE03, TREE05, and TREE06 are slowed, and the rest are not slowed. Reported-by: Linus Torvalds <torvalds@linux-foundation.org> Signed-off-by: Paul E. McKenney <paulmck@linux.vnet.ibm.com>
2017-06-08srcu: Prevent sdp->srcu_gp_seq_needed counter wrapPaul E. McKenney
If a given CPU never happens to ever start an SRCU grace period, the grace-period sequence counter might wrap. If this CPU were to decide to finally start a grace period, the state of its sdp->srcu_gp_seq_needed might make it appear that it has already requested this grace period, which would prevent starting the grace period. If no other CPU ever started a grace period again, this would look like a grace-period hang. Even if some other CPU took pity and started the needed grace period, the leaf rcu_node structure's ->srcu_data_have_cbs field won't have record of the fact that this CPU has a callback pending, which would look like a very localized grace-period hang. This might seem very unlikely, but SRCU grace periods can take less than a microsecond on small systems, which means that overflow can happen in much less than an hour on a 32-bit embedded system. And embedded systems are especially likely to have long-term idle CPUs. Therefore, it makes sense to prevent this scenario from happening. This commit therefore scans each srcu_data structure occasionally, with frequency controlled by the srcutree.counter_wrap_check kernel boot parameter. This parameter can be set to something like 255 in order to exercise the counter-wrap-prevention code. Signed-off-by: Paul E. McKenney <paulmck@linux.vnet.ibm.com>
2017-06-08rcuperf: Add writer_holdoff boot parameterPaul E. McKenney
This commit adds a writer_holdoff boot parameter to rcuperf, which is intended to be used to test Tree SRCU's auto-expediting. This boot parameter is in microseconds, and defaults to zero (that is, disabled). Set it to a bit larger than srcutree.exp_holdoff, keeping the nanosecond/microsecond conversion, to force Tree SRCU to auto-expedite more aggressively. This commit also adds documentation for this parameter, and fixes some alphabetization while in the neighborhood. Signed-off-by: Paul E. McKenney <paulmck@linux.vnet.ibm.com>
2017-06-08rcuperf: Add ability to performance-test call_rcu() and friendsPaul E. McKenney
This commit upgrades rcuperf so that it can do performance testing on asynchronous grace-period primitives such as call_srcu(). There is a new rcuperf.gp_async module parameter that specifies this new behavior, with the pre-existing rcuperf.gp_exp testing expedited grace periods such as synchronize_rcu_expedited, and with the default being to test synchronous non-expedited grace periods such as synchronize_rcu(). There is also a new rcuperf.gp_async_max module parameter that specifies the maximum number of outstanding callbacks per writer kthread, defaulting to 1,000. When this limit is exceeded, the writer thread invokes the appropriate flavor of rcu_barrier() to wait for callbacks to drain. Signed-off-by: Paul E.

2017-05-24Documentation/kernel-parameters.txt: Update 'memmap=' boot option descriptionBaoquan He
In commit: 9710f581bb4c ("x86, mm: Let "memmap=" take more entries one time") ... 'memmap=' was changed to adopt multiple, comma delimited values in a single entry, so update the related description. In the special case of only specifying size value without an offset, like memmap=nn[KMG], memmap behaves similarly to mem=nn[KMG], so update it too here. Furthermore, for memmap=nn[KMG]$ss[KMG], an escape character needs be added before '$' for some bootloaders. E.g in grub2, if we specify memmap=100M$5G as suggested by the documentation, "memmap=100MG" gets passed to the kernel. Clarify all this.

2017-05-18vhost/vsock: use static minor numberStefan Hajnoczi
Vhost-vsock is a software device so there is no probe call that causes the driver to register its misc char device node. This creates a chicken and egg problem: userspace applications must open /dev/vhost-vsock to use the driver but the file doesn't exist until the kernel module has been loaded. Use the devname modalias mechanism so that /dev/vhost-vsock is created at boot. The vhost_vsock kernel module is automatically loaded when the first application opens /dev/host-vsock. Note that the "reserved for local use" range in Documentation/admin-guide/devices.txt is incorrect. The userio driver already occupies part of that range. I've updated the documentation accordingly.
