Commit 8e3f1b1d8255 ("powerpc/powernv/pci: Enable 64-bit devices to access
>4GB DMA space") introduced the ability for PCI device drivers to request a
DMA mask between 64 and 32 bits and actually get a mask greater than
32-bits. However currently if certain machine configuration dependent
conditions are not meet the code silently falls back to a 32-bit mask.
This makes it hard for device drivers to detect which mask they actually
got. Instead we should return an error when the request could not be
fulfilled which allows drivers to either fallback or implement other
workarounds as documented in DMA-API-HOWTO.txt.

Historically the boot wrapper was always built 32-bit big endian, even
for 64-bit kernels. That was because old firmwares didn't necessarily
support booting a 64-bit image. Because of that arch/powerpc/boot/Makefile
uses CROSS32CC for compilation.
However when we added 64-bit little endian support, we also added
support for building the boot wrapper 64-bit. However we kept using
CROSS32CC, because in most cases it is just CC and everything works.
However if the user doesn't specify CROSS32_COMPILE (which no one ever
does AFAIK), and CC is *not* biarch (32/64-bit capable), then CROSS32CC
becomes just "gcc". On native systems that is probably OK, but if we're
cross building it definitely isn't, leading to eg:
gcc ... -m64 -mlittle-endian -mabi=elfv2 ... arch/powerpc/boot/cpm-serial.c
gcc: error: unrecognized argument in option ‘-mabi=elfv2’
gcc: error: unrecognized command line option ‘-mlittle-endian’
make: *** [zImage] Error 2
To fix it, stop using CROSS32CC, because we may or may not be building
32-bit. Instead setup a BOOTCC, which defaults to CC, and only use
CROSS32_COMPILE if it's set and we're building for 32-bit.

In smp_cpus_done() we need to call smp_ops->setup_cpu() for the boot
CPU, which means it has to run *on* the boot CPU.
In the past we ensured it ran on the boot CPU by changing the CPU
affinity mask of current directly. That was removed in commit
6d11b87d55eb ("powerpc/smp: Replace open coded task affinity logic"),
and replaced with a work queue call.
Unfortunately using a work queue leads to a lockdep warning, now that
the CPU hotplug lock is a regular semaphore:
======================================================
WARNING: possible circular locking dependency detected
...
kworker/0:1/971 is trying to acquire lock:
(cpu_hotplug_lock.rw_sem){++++++}, at: [<c000000000100974>] apply_workqueue_attrs+0x34/0xa0
but task is already holding lock:

...
CPU0 CPU1
---- ----
lock((&wfc.work));
lock(cpu_hotplug_lock.rw_sem);
lock((&wfc.work));
lock(cpu_hotplug_lock.rw_sem);
Although the deadlock can't happen in practice, because
smp_cpus_done() only runs in early boot before CPU hotplug is allowed,
lockdep can't tell that.
Luckily in commit 8fb12156b8db ("init: Pin init task to the boot CPU,
initially") tglx changed the generic code to pin init to the boot CPU
to begin with. The unpinning of init from the boot CPU happens in
sched_init_smp(), which is called after smp_cpus_done().
So smp_cpus_done() is always called on the boot CPU, which means we
don't need the work queue call at all - and the lockdep warning goes
away.

Currently flush_tmregs_to_thread() does not save the TM SPRs (TFHAR,
TFIAR, TEXASR) to the thread struct, unless the process is currently
inside a suspended transaction.
If the process is core dumping, and the TM SPRs have changed since the
last time the process was context switched, then we will save stale
values of the TM SPRs to the core dump.
Fix it by saving the live register state to the thread struct in that
case.

The Radix MMU translation tree as defined in ISA v3.0 contains two
different types of entry, directories and leaves. Leaves are
identified by _PAGE_PTE being set.
The formats of the two entries are different, with the directory
entries containing no spare bits for use by software. In particular
the bit we use for _PAGE_DEVMAP is not reserved for software, and is
part of the NLB (Next Level Base) field, essentially the address of
the next level in the tree.
Note that the Linux pte_t is not == _PAGE_PTE. A huge page pmd
entry (or devmap!) is also a leaf and so has _PAGE_PTE set, even
though we use a pmd_t for it in Linux.
The fix is to ensure that the pmd/pte_devmap() confirm they are
looking at a leaf entry (_PAGE_PTE) as well as checking _PAGE_DEVMAP.

In commit efe0160cfd40 ("powerpc/64: Linker on-demand sfpr functions
for modules"), we added an ld version check early in the powerpc
top-level Makefile.
Because the Makefile runs before the kernel config is setup, the
checks for CONFIG_CPU_LITTLE_ENDIAN etc. all take the default case. So
we end up configuring ld for 32-bit big endian.
That would be OK, except that for historical (or perhaps no) reason,
we use 'override LD' to add the endian flags to the LD variable
itself, rather than the normal approach of adding them to LDFLAGS.
The end result is that when we check the ld version we run it as:
$(CROSS_COMPILE)ld -EB -m elf32ppc --version
This often works, unless you are using a 64-bit only and/or little
endian only, toolchain. In which case you see something like:
$ make defconfig
powerpc64le-linux-ld: unrecognised emulation mode: elf32ppc
Supported emulations: elf64lppc elf32lppc elf32lppclinux elf32lppcsim
/bin/sh: 1: [: -ge: unexpected operator
The proper fix is to stop using 'override LD', but that will require a
fair bit of testing. Instead we can fix it for now just by reordering
the Makefile to do the version check earlier.

There's a somewhat architectural issue with Radix MMU and KVM.
When coming out of a guest with AIL (Alternate Interrupt Location, ie,
MMU enabled), we start executing hypervisor code with the PID register
still containing whatever the guest has been using.
The problem is that the CPU can (and will) then start prefetching or
speculatively load from whatever host context has that same PID (if
any), thus bringing translations for that context into the TLB, which
Linux doesn't know about.
This can cause stale translations and subsequent crashes.
Fixing this in a way that is neither racy nor a huge performance
impact is difficult. We could just make the host invalidations always
use broadcast forms but that would hurt single threaded programs for
example.
We chose to fix it instead by partitioning the PID space between guest
and host. This is possible because today Linux only use 19 out of the
20 bits of PID space, so existing guests will work if we make the host
use the top half of the 20 bits space.
We additionally add support for a property to indicate to Linux the
size of the PID register which will be useful if we eventually have
processors with a larger PID space available.
There is still an issue with malicious guests purposefully setting the
PID register to a value in the hosts PID range. Hopefully future HW
can prevent that, but in the meantime, we handle it with a pair of
kludges:
- On the way out of a guest, before we clear the current VCPU in the
PACA, we check the PID and if it's outside of the permitted range
we flush the TLB for that PID.
- When context switching, if the mm is "new" on that CPU (the
corresponding bit was set for the first time in the mm cpumask), we
check if any sibling thread is in KVM (has a non-NULL VCPU pointer
in the PACA). If that is the case, we also flush the PID for that
CPU (core).
This second part is needed to handle the case where a process is
migrated (or starts a new pthread) on a sibling thread of the CPU
coming out of KVM, as there's a window where stale translations can
exist before we detect it and flush them out.
A future optimization could be added by keeping track of whether the
PID has ever been used and avoid doing that for completely fresh PIDs.
We could similarily mark PIDs that have been the subject of a global
invalidation as "fresh". But for now this will do.

Currently even with STRICT_KERNEL_RWX we leave the __init text marked
executable after init, which is bad.
Add a hook to mark it NX (no-execute) before we free it, and implement
it for radix and hash.
Note that we use __init_end as the end address, not _einittext,
because overlaps_kernel_text() uses __init_end, because there are
additional executable sections other than .init.text between
__init_begin and __init_end.
Tested on radix and hash with:

Move the core logic into a helper, so we can use it for changing other
permissions.
We also change the logic to align start down, and end up. This means
calling the function with a range will expand that range to be at
least 1 mmu_linear_psize page in size. We need that so we can use it
on __init_begin ... __init_end which is not a full page in size.
This should always work for _stext/__init_begin, because we align
__init_begin to _stext + 16M in the linker script.

A previous optimisation incorrectly assumed the PAPR hcall does
not use r12, and clobbers it upon entry. In fact it is used as
an input. This can result in KVM guests crashing (observed with
PR KVM).
Instead of using r12 to save r13, tihs patch saves r13 in ctr.
This is more costly, but not as slow as using the SPRG.

In commit 1c0eaf0f56d6 ("powerpc/powernv: Tell OPAL about our MMU mode
on POWER9"), we added additional flags to the OPAL call to configure
CPUs at boot.
These flags only work on Power9 firmwares, and worse can cause boot
failures on Power8 machines, so we check for CPU_FTR_ARCH_300 (aka POWER9)
before adding the extra flags.
Unfortunately we forgot that opal_configure_cores() is called before
the CPU feature checks are dynamically patched, meaning the check
always returns true.
We definitely need to do something to make the CPU feature checks less
prone to bugs like this, but for now the minimal fix is to use
early_cpu_has_feature().

Unfortunately, on some models of some architectures getting a fully
seeded CRNG is extremely difficult, and so this can result in dmesg
getting spammed for a surprisingly long time. This is really bad from
a security perspective, and so architecture maintainers really need to
do what they can to get the CRNG seeded sooner after the system is
booted. However, users can't do anything actionble to address this,
and spamming the kernel messages log will only just annoy people.
For developers who want to work on improving this situation,
CONFIG_WARN_UNSEEDED_RANDOM has been renamed to
CONFIG_WARN_ALL_UNSEEDED_RANDOM. By default the kernel will always
print the first use of unseeded randomness. This way, hopefully the
security obsessed will be happy that there is _some_ indication when
the kernel boots there may be a potential issue with that architecture
or subarchitecture. To see all uses of unseeded randomness,
developers can enable CONFIG_WARN_ALL_UNSEEDED_RANDOM.

Using strscpy was wrong because FORTIFY_SOURCE is passing the maximum
possible size of the outermost object, but strscpy defines the count
parameter as the exact buffer size, so this could copy past the end of
the source. This would still be wrong with the planned usage of
__builtin_object_size(p, 1) for intra-object overflow checks since it's
the maximum possible size of the specified object with no guarantee of
it being that large.
Reuse of the fortified functions like this currently makes the runtime
error reporting less precise but that can be improved later on.

If we reach the limit of modprobe_limit threads running the next
request_module() call will fail. The original reason for adding a kill
was to do away with possible issues with in old circumstances which would
create a recursive series of request_module() calls.
We can do better than just be super aggressive and reject calls once we've
reached the limit by simply making pending callers wait until the
threshold has been reduced, and then throttling them in, one by one.
This throttling enables requests over the kmod concurrent limit to be
processed once a pending request completes. Only the first item queued up
to wait is woken up. The assumption here is once a task is woken it will
have no other option to also kick the queue to check if there are more
pending tasks -- regardless of whether or not it was successful.
By throttling and processing only max kmod concurrent tasks we ensure we
avoid unexpected fatal request_module() calls, and we keep memory
consumption on module loading to a minimum.
With x86_64 qemu, with 4 cores, 4 GiB of RAM it takes the following run
time to run both tests:

This adds a new stress test driver for kmod: the kernel module loader.
The new stress test driver, test_kmod, is only enabled as a module right
now. It should be possible to load this as built-in and load tests
early (refer to the force_init_test module parameter), however since a
lot of test can get a system out of memory fast we leave this disabled
for now.
Using a system with 1024 MiB of RAM can *easily* get your kernel OOM
fast with this test driver.
The test_kmod driver exposes API knobs for us to fine tune simple
request_module() and get_fs_type() calls. Since these API calls only
allow each one parameter a test driver for these is rather simple.
Other factors that can help out test driver though are the number of
calls we issue and knowing current limitations of each. This exposes
configuration as much as possible through userspace to be able to build
tests directly from userspace.
Since it allows multiple misc devices its will eventually (once we add a
knob to let us create new devices at will) also be possible to perform
more tests in parallel, provided you have enough memory.
We only enable tests we know work as of right now.

To be sure to run them as intended please unload both of the modules:
o test_module
o xfs
And ensure they are not loaded on your system prior to testing them. If
you use these paritions for your rootfs you can change the default test
driver used for get_fs_type() by exporting it into your environment. For
example of other test defaults you can override refer to kmod.sh
allow_user_defaults().
Behind the scenes this is how we fine tune at a test case prior to
hitting a trigger to run it:
cat /sys/devices/virtual/misc/test_kmod0/config
echo -n "2" > /sys/devices/virtual/misc/test_kmod0/config_test_case
echo -n "ext4" > /sys/devices/virtual/misc/test_kmod0/config_test_fs
echo -n "80" > /sys/devices/virtual/misc/test_kmod0/config_num_threads
cat /sys/devices/virtual/misc/test_kmod0/config
echo -n "1" > /sys/devices/virtual/misc/test_kmod0/config_num_threads
Finally to trigger:
echo -n "1" > /sys/devices/virtual/misc/test_kmod0/trigger_config
The kmod.sh script uses the above constructs to build different test cases.
A bit of interpretation of the current failures follows, first two
premises:
a) When request_module() is used userspace figures out an optimized
version of module order for us. Once it finds the modules it needs, as
per depmod symbol dep map, it will finit_module() the respective
modules which are needed for the original request_module() request.
b) We have an optimization in place whereby if a kernel uses
request_module() on a module already loaded we never bother userspace
as the module already is loaded. This is all handled by kernel/kmod.c.
A few things to consider to help identify root causes of issues:
0) kmod 19 has a broken heuristic for modules being assumed to be
built-in to your kernel and will return 0 even though request_module()
failed. Upgrade to a newer version of kmod.
1) A get_fs_type() call for "xfs" will request_module() for "fs-xfs",
not for "xfs". The optimization in kernel described in b) fails to
catch if we have a lot of consecutive get_fs_type() calls. The reason
is the optimization in place does not look for aliases. This means two
consecutive get_fs_type() calls will bump kmod_concurrent, whereas
request_module() will not.
This one explanation why test case 0009 fails at least once for
get_fs_type().
2) If a module fails to load --- for whatever reason (kmod_concurrent
limit reached, file not yet present due to rootfs switch, out of
memory) we have a period of time during which module request for the
same name either with request_module() or get_fs_type() will *also*
fail to load even if the file for the module is ready.
This explains why *multiple* NULLs are possible on test 0009.
3) finit_module() consumes quite a bit of memory.
4) Filesystems typically also have more dependent modules than other
modules, its important to note though that even though a get_fs_type()
call does not incur additional kmod_concurrent bumps, since userspace
loads dependencies it finds it needs via finit_module_fd(), it *will*
take much more memory to load a module with a lot of dependencies.
Because of 3) and 4) we will easily run into out of memory failures with
certain tests. For instance test 0006 fails on qemu with 1024 MiB of RAM.
It panics a box after reaping all userspace processes and still not
having enough memory to reap.

well reflect its maintained status.
Changes are expected to go through akpm's tree.

The arch uses a verbatim copy of the asm-generic version and does not
add any own implementations to the header, so use asm-generic/fb.h
instead of duplicating code.

fail-nth interface is only created in /proc/self/task/<current-tid>/.
This change also adds it in /proc/<pid>/.
This makes shell based tool a bit simpler.
$ bash -c "builtin echo 100 > /proc/self/fail-nth && exec ls /"

The fail-nth file is created with 0666 and the access is permitted if
and only if the task is current.
This file is owned by the currnet user. So we can create it with 0644
and allow the owner to write it. This enables to watch the status of
task->fail_nth from another processes.

The read interface for fail-nth looks a bit odd. Read from this file
returns "NYYYY..." or "YYYYY..." (this makes me surprise when cat this
file). Because there is no EOF condition. The first character
indicates current->fail_nth is zero or not, and then current->fail_nth
is reset to zero.
Just returning task->fail_nth value is more natural to understand.

The value written to fail-nth file is parsed as 0-based. Parsing as
one-based is more natural to understand and it enables to cancel the
previous setup by simply writing '0'.
This change also converts task->fail_nth from signed to unsigned int.

atomic64_inc_not_zero() returns a "truth value" which in C is
traditionally an int. That means callers are likely to expect the
result will fit in an int.
If an implementation returns a "true" value which does not fit in an
int, then there's a possibility that callers will truncate it when they
store it in an int.
In fact this happened in practice, see commit 966d2b04e070
("percpu-refcount: fix reference leak during percpu-atomic transition").
So add a test that the result fits in an int, even when the input
doesn't. This catches the case where an implementation just passes the
non-zero input value out as the result.

Jörn Engel noticed that the expand_upwards() function might not return
-ENOMEM in case the requested address is (unsigned long)-PAGE_SIZE and
if the architecture didn't defined TASK_SIZE as multiple of PAGE_SIZE.
Affected architectures are arm, frv, m68k, blackfin, h8300 and xtensa
which all define TASK_SIZE as 0xffffffff, but since none of those have
an upwards-growing stack we currently have no actual issue.
Nevertheless let's fix this just in case any of the architectures with
an upward-growing stack (currently parisc, metag and partly ia64) define
TASK_SIZE similar.

The inode is not locked in init_xattrs when creating a new inode.
Without this patch, there will occurs assert when booting or creating
a new file, if the kernel config CONFIG_SECURITY_SMACK is enabled.

When UBIFS prepares data structures which will be written to the MTD it
ensues that their lengths are multiple of 8. Since it uses kmalloc() the
padded bytes are left uninitialized and we leak a few bytes of kernel
memory to the MTD.
To make sure that all bytes are initialized, let's switch to kzalloc().
Kzalloc() is fine in this case because the buffers are not huge and in
the IO path the performance bottleneck is anyway the MTD.

In low memory situations, page allocations for bulk read
can kill applications for reclaiming memory, and print an
failure message when allocations are failed.
Because bulk read is just an optimization, we don't have
to do these and can stop page allocations.
Though this siutation happens rarely, add __GFP_NORETRY
to prevent from excessive memory reclaim and killing
applications, and __GFP_WARN to suppress this failure
message.
For this, Use readahead_gfp_mask for gfp flags when
allocating pages.

When remounting with the no_bulk_read option,
there is a problem accessing the "bulk_read buffer(bu.buf)"
which has already been freed.
If the bulk_read option is enabled,
ubifs_tnc_bulk_read uses the pre-allocated bu.buf.
While bu.buf is being used by ubifs_tnc_bulk_read,
remounting with no_bulk_read frees bu.buf.
So I added code to check the use of "bu.buf" to avoid this situation.
------
I tested as follows(kernel v3.18) :
Use the script to repeat "no_bulk_read <-> bulk_read"
remount.sh
#!/bin/sh
while true do;
mount -o remount,no_bulk_read ${MOUNT_POINT};
sleep 1;
mount -o remount,bulk_read ${MOUNT_POINT};
sleep 1;
done
Perform read operation
cat ${MOUNT_POINT}/* > /dev/null
The problem is reproduced immediately.

A reference to LEB 0 or with length 0 in the TNC
is never correct and could be caused by a memory corruption.
Don't write such a bad index node to the MTD.
Instead fail the commit which will turn UBIFS into read-only mode.
This is less painful than having the bad reference on the MTD
from where UBFIS has no chance to recover.

There currently appears to be no way for userspace to find out the
underlying volume number for a mounted ubifs file system, since ubifs
uses anonymous block devices. The volume name is present in
/proc/mounts but UBI volumes can be renamed after the volume has been
mounted.
To remedy this, show the UBI number and UBI volume number as part of the
options visible under /proc/mounts.
Also, accept and ignore the ubi= vol= options if they are used mounting
(patch from Richard Weinberger).
# mount -t ubifs ubi:baz x
# mount
ubi:baz on /root/x type ubifs (rw,relatime,ubi=0,vol=2)
# ubirename /dev/ubi0 baz bazz
# mount
ubi:baz on /root/x type ubifs (rw,relatime,ubi=0,vol=2)
# ubinfo -d 0 -n 2
Volume ID: 2 (on ubi0)
Type: dynamic
Alignment: 1
Size: 67 LEBs (1063424 bytes, 1.0 MiB)
State: OK

statx() can report what flags a file has, expose flags that UBIFS
supports. Especially STATX_ATTR_COMPRESSED and STATX_ATTR_ENCRYPTED
can be interesting for userspace.

If file names are encrypted we can no longer print them.
That's why we have to change these prints or remove them completely.

When removing an encrypted file with a long name and without having
the key we have to be able to locate and remove the directory entry
via a double hash. This corner case was simply forgotten.

Currently, the function truncate_data_node only updates the
destination data node size if compression is used. For
uncompressed nodes, the old length is incorrectly retained.
This patch makes sure that the length is correctly set when
compression is disabled.

When a new inode is created, we check if the containing folder has a encryption
policy set and inherit that. This should however only be done for regular
files, links and subdirectories. Not for sockes fifos etc.

UBIFS handles extended attributes just like files, as consequence of
that, they also have inodes.
Therefore UBIFS does all the inode machinery also for xattrs. Since new
inodes have i_nlink of 1, a file or xattr inode will be evicted
if i_nlink goes down to 0 after an unlink. UBIFS assumes this model also
for xattrs, which is not correct.
One can create a file "foo" with xattr "user.test". By reading
"user.test" an inode will be created, and by deleting "user.test" it
will get evicted later. The assumption breaks if the file "foo", which
hosts the xattrs, will be removed. VFS nor UBIFS does not remove each
xattr via ubifs_xattr_remove(), it just removes the host inode from
the TNC and all underlying xattr nodes too and the inode will remain
in the cache and wastes memory.
To solve this problem, remove xattr inodes from the VFS inode cache in
ubifs_xattr_remove() to make sure that they get evicted.
