Pull thread management updates from Christian Brauner:
"Sargun Dhillon over the last cycle has worked on the pidfd_getfd()
syscall.
This syscall allows for the retrieval of file descriptors of a process
based on its pidfd. A task needs to have ptrace_may_access()
permissions with PTRACE_MODE_ATTACH_REALCREDS (suggested by Oleg and
Andy) on the target.
One of the main use-cases is in combination with seccomp's user
notification feature. As a reminder, seccomp's user notification
feature was made available in v5.0. It allows a task to retrieve a
file descriptor for its seccomp filter. The file descriptor is usually
handed of to a more privileged supervising process. The supervisor can
then listen for syscall events caught by the seccomp filter of the
supervisee and perform actions in lieu of the supervisee, usually
emulating syscalls. pidfd_getfd() is needed to expand its uses.
There are currently two major users that wait on pidfd_getfd() and one
future user:
- Netflix, Sargun said, is working on a service mesh where users
should be able to connect to a dns-based VIP. When a user connects
to e.g. 1.2.3.4:80 that runs e.g. service "foo" they will be
redirected to an envoy process. This service mesh uses seccomp user
notifications and pidfd to intercept all connect calls and instead
of connecting them to 1.2.3.4:80 connects them to e.g.
127.0.0.1:8080.
- LXD uses the seccomp notifier heavily to intercept and emulate
mknod() and mount() syscalls for unprivileged containers/processes.
With pidfd_getfd() more uses-cases e.g. bridging socket connections
will be possible.
- The patchset has also seen some interest from the browser corner.
Right now, Firefox is using a SECCOMP_RET_TRAP sandbox managed by a
broker process. In the future glibc will start blocking all signals
during dlopen() rendering this type of sandbox impossible. Hence,
in the future Firefox will switch to a seccomp-user-nofication
based sandbox which also makes use of file descriptor retrieval.
The thread for this can be found at
https://sourceware.org/ml/libc-alpha/2019-12/msg00079.html
With pidfd_getfd() it is e.g. possible to bridge socket connections
for the supervisee (binding to a privileged port) and taking actions
on file descriptors on behalf of the supervisee in general.
Sargun's first version was using an ioctl on pidfds but various people
pushed for it to be a proper syscall which he duely implemented as
well over various review cycles. Selftests are of course included.
I've also added instructions how to deal with merge conflicts below.
There's also a small fix coming from the kernel mentee project to
correctly annotate struct sighand_struct with __rcu to fix various
sparse warnings. We've received a few more such fixes and even though
they are mostly trivial I've decided to postpone them until after -rc1
since they came in rather late and I don't want to risk introducing
build warnings.
Finally, there's a new prctl() command PR_{G,S}ET_IO_FLUSHER which is
needed to avoid allocation recursions triggerable by storage drivers
that have userspace parts that run in the IO path (e.g. dm-multipath,
iscsi, etc). These allocation recursions deadlock the device.
The new prctl() allows such privileged userspace components to avoid
allocation recursions by setting the PF_MEMALLOC_NOIO and
PF_LESS_THROTTLE flags. The patch carries the necessary acks from the
relevant maintainers and is routed here as part of prctl()
thread-management."

Pull y2038 updates from Arnd Bergmann:
"Core, driver and file system changes
These are updates to device drivers and file systems that for some
reason or another were not included in the kernel in the previous
y2038 series.
I've gone through all users of time_t again to make sure the kernel is
in a long-term maintainable state, replacing all remaining references
to time_t with safe alternatives.
Some related parts of the series were picked up into the nfsd, xfs,
alsa and v4l2 trees. A final set of patches in linux-mm removes the
now unused time_t/timeval/timespec types and helper functions after
all five branches are merged for linux-5.6, ensuring that no new users
get merged.
As a result, linux-5.6, or my backport of the patches to 5.4 [1],
should be the first release that can serve as a base for a 32-bit
system designed to run beyond year 2038, with a few remaining caveats:
- All user space must be compiled with a 64-bit time_t, which will be
supported in the coming musl-1.2 and glibc-2.32 releases, along
with installed kernel headers from linux-5.6 or higher.
- Applications that use the system call interfaces directly need to
be ported to use the time64 syscalls added in linux-5.1 in place of
the existing system calls. This impacts most users of futex() and
seccomp() as well as programming languages that have their own
runtime environment not based on libc.
- Applications that use a private copy of kernel uapi header files or
their contents may need to update to the linux-5.6 version, in
particular for sound/asound.h, xfs/xfs_fs.h, linux/input.h,
linux/elfcore.h, linux/sockios.h, linux/timex.h and
linux/can/bcm.h.
- A few remaining interfaces cannot be changed to pass a 64-bit
time_t in a compatible way, so they must be configured to use
CLOCK_MONOTONIC times or (with a y2106 problem) unsigned 32-bit
timestamps. Most importantly this impacts all users of 'struct
input_event'.
- All y2038 problems that are present on 64-bit machines also apply
to 32-bit machines. In particular this affects file systems with
on-disk timestamps using signed 32-bit seconds: ext4 with
ext3-style small inodes, ext2, xfs (to be fixed soon) and ufs"

Pull openat2 support from Al Viro:
"This is the openat2() series from Aleksa Sarai.
I'm afraid that the rest of namei stuff will have to wait - it got
zero review the last time I'd posted #work.namei, and there had been a
leak in the posted series I'd caught only last weekend. I was going to
repost it on Monday, but the window opened and the odds of getting any
review during that... Oh, well.
Anyway, openat2 part should be ready; that _did_ get sane amount of
review and public testing, so here it comes"
From Aleksa's description of the series:
"For a very long time, extending openat(2) with new features has been
incredibly frustrating. This stems from the fact that openat(2) is
possibly the most famous counter-example to the mantra "don't silently
accept garbage from userspace" -- it doesn't check whether unknown
flags are present[1].
This means that (generally) the addition of new flags to openat(2) has
been fraught with backwards-compatibility issues (O_TMPFILE has to be
defined as __O_TMPFILE|O_DIRECTORY|[O_RDWR or O_WRONLY] to ensure old
kernels gave errors, since it's insecure to silently ignore the
flag[2]). All new security-related flags therefore have a tough road
to being added to openat(2).
Furthermore, the need for some sort of control over VFS's path
resolution (to avoid malicious paths resulting in inadvertent
breakouts) has been a very long-standing desire of many userspace
applications.
This patchset is a revival of Al Viro's old AT_NO_JUMPS[3] patchset
(which was a variant of David Drysdale's O_BENEATH patchset[4] which
was a spin-off of the Capsicum project[5]) with a few additions and
changes made based on the previous discussion within [6] as well as
others I felt were useful.
In line with the conclusions of the original discussion of
AT_NO_JUMPS, the flag has been split up into separate flags. However,
instead of being an openat(2) flag it is provided through a new
syscall openat2(2) which provides several other improvements to the
openat(2) interface (see the patch description for more details). The
following new LOOKUP_* flags are added:
LOOKUP_NO_XDEV:
Blocks all mountpoint crossings (upwards, downwards, or through
absolute links). Absolute pathnames alone in openat(2) do not
trigger this. Magic-link traversal which implies a vfsmount jump is
also blocked (though magic-link jumps on the same vfsmount are
permitted).
LOOKUP_NO_MAGICLINKS:
Blocks resolution through /proc/$pid/fd-style links. This is done
by blocking the usage of nd_jump_link() during resolution in a
filesystem. The term "magic-links" is used to match with the only
reference to these links in Documentation/, but I'm happy to change
the name.
It should be noted that this is different to the scope of
~LOOKUP_FOLLOW in that it applies to all path components. However,
you can do openat2(NO_FOLLOW|NO_MAGICLINKS) on a magic-link and it
will *not* fail (assuming that no parent component was a
magic-link), and you will have an fd for the magic-link.
In order to correctly detect magic-links, the introduction of a new
LOOKUP_MAGICLINK_JUMPED state flag was required.
LOOKUP_BENEATH:
Disallows escapes to outside the starting dirfd's
tree, using techniques such as ".." or absolute links. Absolute
paths in openat(2) are also disallowed.
Conceptually this flag is to ensure you "stay below" a certain
point in the filesystem tree -- but this requires some additional
to protect against various races that would allow escape using
"..".
Currently LOOKUP_BENEATH implies LOOKUP_NO_MAGICLINKS, because it
can trivially beam you around the filesystem (breaking the
protection). In future, there might be similar safety checks done
as in LOOKUP_IN_ROOT, but that requires more discussion.
In addition, two new flags are added that expand on the above ideas:
LOOKUP_NO_SYMLINKS:
Does what it says on the tin. No symlink resolution is allowed at
all, including magic-links. Just as with LOOKUP_NO_MAGICLINKS this
can still be used with NOFOLLOW to open an fd for the symlink as
long as no parent path had a symlink component.
LOOKUP_IN_ROOT:
This is an extension of LOOKUP_BENEATH that, rather than blocking
attempts to move past the root, forces all such movements to be
scoped to the starting point. This provides chroot(2)-like
protection but without the cost of a chroot(2) for each filesystem
operation, as well as being safe against race attacks that
chroot(2) is not.
If a race is detected (as with LOOKUP_BENEATH) then an error is
generated, and similar to LOOKUP_BENEATH it is not permitted to
cross magic-links with LOOKUP_IN_ROOT.
The primary need for this is from container runtimes, which
currently need to do symlink scoping in userspace[7] when opening
paths in a potentially malicious container.
There is a long list of CVEs that could have bene mitigated by
having RESOLVE_THIS_ROOT (such as CVE-2017-1002101,
CVE-2017-1002102, CVE-2018-15664, and CVE-2019-5736, just to name a
few).
In order to make all of the above more usable, I'm working on
libpathrs[8] which is a C-friendly library for safe path resolution.
It features a userspace-emulated backend if the kernel doesn't support
openat2(2). Hopefully we can get userspace to switch to using it, and
thus get openat2(2) support for free once it's ready.
Future work would include implementing things like
RESOLVE_NO_AUTOMOUNT and possibly a RESOLVE_NO_REMOTE (to allow
programs to be sure they don't hit DoSes though stale NFS handles)"

There are several storage drivers like dm-multipath, iscsi, tcmu-runner,
amd nbd that have userspace components that can run in the IO path. For
example, iscsi and nbd's userspace deamons may need to recreate a socket
and/or send IO on it, and dm-multipath's daemon multipathd may need to
send SG IO or read/write IO to figure out the state of paths and re-set
them up.
In the kernel these drivers have access to GFP_NOIO/GFP_NOFS and the
memalloc_*_save/restore functions to control the allocation behavior,
but for userspace we would end up hitting an allocation that ended up
writing data back to the same device we are trying to allocate for.
The device is then in a state of deadlock, because to execute IO the
device needs to allocate memory, but to allocate memory the memory
layers want execute IO to the device.
Here is an example with nbd using a local userspace daemon that performs
network IO to a remote server. We are using XFS on top of the nbd device,
but it can happen with any FS or other modules layered on top of the nbd
device that can write out data to free memory. Here a nbd daemon helper
thread, msgr-worker-1, is performing a write/sendmsg on a socket to execute
a request. This kicks off a reclaim operation which results in a WRITE to
the nbd device and the nbd thread calling back into the mm layer.

This patch adds a new prctl command that daemons can use after they have
done their initial setup, and before they start to do allocations that
are in the IO path. It sets the PF_MEMALLOC_NOIO and PF_LESS_THROTTLE
flags so both userspace block and FS threads can use it to avoid the
allocation recursion and try to prevent from being throttled while
writing out data to free up memory.

Pull irq updates from Thomas Gleixner:
"The interrupt departement provides:
- A mechanism to shield isolated tasks from managed interrupts:
The affinity of managed interrupts is completely controlled by the
kernel and user space has no influence on them. The reason is that
the automatically assigned affinity correlates to the multi-queue
CPU handling of block devices.
If the generated affinity mask spaws both housekeeping and isolated
CPUs the interrupt could be routed to an isolated CPU which would
then be disturbed by I/O submitted by a housekeeping CPU.
The new mechamism ensures that as long as one housekeeping CPU is
online in the assigned affinity mask the interrupt is routed to a
housekeeping CPU.
If there is no online housekeeping CPU in the affinity mask, then
the interrupt is routed to an isolated CPU to keep the device queue
intact, but unless the isolated CPU submits I/O by itself these
interrupts are not raised.
- A small addon to the device tree irqdomain core code to avoid
duplication in irq chip drivers
- Conversion of the SiFive PLIC to hierarchical domains
- The usual pile of new irq chip drivers: SiFive GPIO, Aspeed SCI,
NXP INTMUX, Meson A1 GPIO

Pull timer updates from Thomas Gleixner:
"The timekeeping and timers departement provides:
- Time namespace support:
If a container migrates from one host to another then it expects
that clocks based on MONOTONIC and BOOTTIME are not subject to
disruption. Due to different boot time and non-suspended runtime
these clocks can differ significantly on two hosts, in the worst
case time goes backwards which is a violation of the POSIX
requirements.
The time namespace addresses this problem. It allows to set offsets
for clock MONOTONIC and BOOTTIME once after creation and before
tasks are associated with the namespace. These offsets are taken
into account by timers and timekeeping including the VDSO.
Offsets for wall clock based clocks (REALTIME/TAI) are not provided
by this mechanism. While in theory possible, the overhead and code
complexity would be immense and not justified by the esoteric
potential use cases which were discussed at Plumbers '18.
The overhead for tasks in the root namespace (ie where host time
offsets = 0) is in the noise and great effort was made to ensure
that especially in the VDSO. If time namespace is disabled in the
kernel configuration the code is compiled out.
Kudos to Andrei Vagin and Dmitry Sofanov who implemented this
feature and kept on for more than a year addressing review
comments, finding better solutions. A pleasant experience.

that the init/suspend/resume ordering is correct.

Pull watchdog updates from Thomas Gleixner:
"A set of watchdog/softlockup related improvements:
- Enforce that the watchdog timestamp is always valid on boot. The
original implementation caused a watchdog disabled gap of one
second in the boot process due to truncation of the underlying
sched clock.
The sched clock is divided by 1e9 to convert nanoseconds to
seconds. So for the first second of the boot process the result is
0 which is at the same time the indicator to disable the watchdog.
The trivial fix is to change the disabled indicator to ULONG_MAX.
- Two cleanup patches removing unused and redundant code which got
forgotten to be cleaned up in previous changes"

- Make the update to the coarse timekeeper unconditional.
This is required because the coarse timekeeper interfaces in the

does not have a VDSO capable clocksource and the update is
depending on the VDSO capable clocksource, the coarse VDSO

Pull arm64 updates from Will Deacon:
"The changes are a real mixed bag this time around.
The only scary looking one from the diffstat is the uapi change to
asm-generic/mman-common.h, but this has been acked by Arnd and is
actually just adding a pair of comments in an attempt to prevent
allocation of some PROT values which tend to get used for
arch-specific purposes. We'll be using them for Branch Target
Identification (a CFI-like hardening feature), which is currently
under review on the mailing list.
New architecture features:
- Support for Armv8.5 E0PD, which benefits KASLR in the same way as
KPTI but without the overhead. This allows KPTI to be disabled on
CPUs that are not affected by Meltdown, even is KASLR is enabled.
- Initial support for the Armv8.5 RNG instructions, which claim to
provide access to a high bandwidth, cryptographically secure
hardware random number generator. As well as exposing these to
userspace, we also use them as part of the KASLR seed and to seed
the crng once all CPUs have come online.
- Advertise a bunch of new instructions to userspace, including
support for Data Gathering Hint, Matrix Multiply and 16-bit
floating point.
Kexec:
- Cleanups in preparation for relocating with the MMU enabled
- Support for loading crash dump kernels with kexec_file_load()
Perf and PMU drivers:
- Cleanups and non-critical fixes for a couple of system PMU drivers
FPU-less (aka broken) CPU support:
- Considerable fixes to support CPUs without the FP/SIMD extensions,
including their presence in heterogeneous systems. Good luck
finding a 64-bit userspace that handles this.
Modern assembly function annotations:
- Start migrating our use of ENTRY() and ENDPROC() over to the
new-fangled SYM_{CODE,FUNC}_{START,END} macros, which are intended
to aid debuggers
Kbuild:
- Cleanup detection of LSE support in the assembler by introducing
'as-instr'
- Remove compressed Image files when building clean targets
IP checksumming:
- Implement optimised IPv4 checksumming routine when hardware offload
is not in use. An IPv6 version is in the works, pending testing.
Hardware errata:
- Work around Cortex-A55 erratum #1530923
Shadow call stack:
- Work around some issues with Clang's integrated assembler not
liking our perfectly reasonable assembly code
- Avoid allocating the X18 register, so that it can be used to hold
the shadow call stack pointer in future
ACPI:
- Fix ID count checking in IORT code. This may regress broken
firmware that happened to work with the old implementation, in
which case we'll have to revert it and try something else
- Fix DAIF corruption on return from GHES handler with pseudo-NMIs
Miscellaneous:
- Whitelist some CPUs that are unaffected by Spectre-v2
- Reduce frequency of ASID rollover when KPTI is compiled in but
inactive
- Reserve a couple of arch-specific PROT flags that are already used
by Sparc and PowerPC and are planned for later use with BTI on
arm64
- Preparatory cleanup of our entry assembly code in preparation for
moving more of it into C later on
- Refactoring and cleanup"

Now that we depend on rcu_call() and synchronize_rcu() to also wait
for preempt_disabled region to complete the rcu read critical section
in __dev_map_flush() is no longer required. Except in a few special
cases in drivers that need it for other reasons.
These originally ensured the map reference was safe while a map was
also being free'd. And additionally that bpf program updates via
ndo_bpf did not happen while flush updates were in flight. But flush
by new rules can only be called from preempt-disabled NAPI context.
The synchronize_rcu from the map free path and the rcu_call from the
delete path will ensure the reference there is safe. So lets remove
the rcu_read_lock and rcu_read_unlock pair to avoid any confusion
around how this is being protected.
If the rcu_read_lock was required it would mean errors in the above
logic and the original patch would also be wrong.
Now that we have done above we put the rcu_read_lock in the driver
code where it is needed in a driver dependent way. I think this
helps readability of the code so we know where and why we are
taking read locks. Most drivers will not need rcu_read_locks here
and further XDP drivers already have rcu_read_locks in their code
paths for reading xdp programs on RX side so this makes it symmetric
where we don't have half of rcu critical sections define in driver
and the other half in devmap.

Now that we rely on synchronize_rcu and call_rcu waiting to
exit perempt-disable regions (NAPI) lets update the comments

This patch fixes the following sparse errors by annotating the
sighand_struct with __rcu
kernel/fork.c:1511:9: error: incompatible types in comparison expression
kernel/exit.c:100:19: error: incompatible types in comparison expression
kernel/signal.c:1370:27: error: incompatible types in comparison expression
This fix introduces the following sparse error in signal.c due to
checking the sighand pointer without rcu primitives:
kernel/signal.c:1386:21: error: incompatible types in comparison expression
This new sparse error is also fixed in this patch.

Boot-time processing often loops in the kernel longer than one might
prefer, which can prevent expedited grace periods from completing in
a timely manner. This in turn triggers a splat In nohz_full CPUs One
could argue that long-looping code should be fixed, but on the other hand,
boot time is a bit special.
This commit therefore removes the splat. Later commits will add the
splat back in, but in a way that removes false positives.

When unwinding the stack we need to identify each address
to successfully continue. Adding latch tree to keep trampolines
for quick lookup during the unwind.
The patch uses first 48 bytes for latch tree node, leaving 4048
bytes from the rest of the page for trampoline or dispatcher
generated code.
It's still enough not to affect trampoline and dispatcher progs
maximum counts.

When accessing the context we allow access to arguments with
scalar type and pointer to struct. But we deny access for
pointer to scalar type, which is the case for many functions.
Alexei suggested to take conservative approach and allow
currently only string pointer access, which is the case
for most functions now:
Adding check if the pointer is to string type and allow access to it.

The stubbed version of alarmtimer_get_rtcdev() is not exported.
so this won't work if this function is used in a module when
CONFIG_RTC_CLASS=n.
Move the stub function to the header file and make it inline so that
callers don't have to worry about linking against this symbol.
rtcdev isn't used outside of this ifdef so it's not required to be
redefined to NULL. Drop that while touching this area.

The alarmtimer_suspend() function will fail if an RTC device is on a bus
such as SPI or i2c and that RTC device registers and probes after
alarmtimer_init() registers and probes the 'alarmtimer' platform device.
This is because system wide suspend suspends devices in the reverse order
of their probe. When alarmtimer_suspend() attempts to program the RTC for a
wakeup it will try to program an RTC device on a bus that has already been
suspended.
Move the alarmtimer device registration to happen when the RTC which is
used for wakeup is registered. Register the 'alarmtimer' platform device as
a child of the RTC device too, so that it can be guaranteed that the RTC
device won't be suspended when alarmtimer_suspend() is called.

This function doesn't do anything like this comment says when an RTC device
hasn't been chosen. It looks like we used to do something like that before
commit 8bc0dafb5cf3 ("alarmtimers: Rework RTC device selection using class
interface") but that's long gone now. Remove this sentence to avoid
confusing the reader.

on_each_cpu_cond_mask() allocates a new CPU mask. The newly allocated
mask is a subset of the provided mask based on the conditional function.
This memory allocation can be avoided by extending smp_call_function_many()
with the conditional function and performing the remote function call based
on the mask and the conditional function.
Rename smp_call_function_many() to smp_call_function_many_cond() and add
the smp_cond_func_t argument. If smp_cond_func_t is provided then it is
used before invoking the function. Provide smp_call_function_many() with
cond_func set to NULL. Let on_each_cpu_cond_mask() use
smp_call_function_many_cond().

The ->srcu_last_gp_end field is accessed from any CPU at any time
by synchronize_srcu(), so non-initialization references need to use
READ_ONCE() and WRITE_ONCE(). This commit therefore makes that change.
