commit ed5a7047d2011cb6b2bf84ceb6680124cc6a7d95 upstream.

[backported to 5.10.y, prior to idmapped mounts]

Currently setgid stripping in file_remove_privs()'s should_remove_suid()
helper is inconsistent with other parts of the vfs. Specifically, it only
raises ATTR_KILL_SGID if the inode is S_ISGID and S_IXGRP but not if the
inode isn't in the caller's groups and the caller isn't privileged over the
inode although we require this already in setattr_prepare() and
setattr_copy() and so all filesystem implement this requirement implicitly
because they have to use setattr_{prepare,copy}() anyway.

But the inconsistency shows up in setgid stripping bugs for overlayfs in
xfstests (e.g., generic/673, generic/683, generic/685, generic/686,
generic/687). For example, we test whether suid and setgid stripping works
correctly when performing various write-like operations as an unprivileged
user (fallocate, reflink, write, etc.):

echo "Test 1 - qa_user, non-exec file $verb"
setup_testfile
chmod a+rws $junk_file
commit_and_check "$qa_user" "$verb" 64k 64k

The test basically creates a file with 6666 permissions. While the file has
the S_ISUID and S_ISGID bits set it does not have the S_IXGRP set. On a
regular filesystem like xfs what will happen is:

sys_fallocate()
-&gt; vfs_fallocate()
   -&gt; xfs_file_fallocate()
      -&gt; file_modified()
         -&gt; __file_remove_privs()
            -&gt; dentry_needs_remove_privs()
               -&gt; should_remove_suid()
            -&gt; __remove_privs()
               newattrs.ia_valid = ATTR_FORCE | kill;
               -&gt; notify_change()
                  -&gt; setattr_copy()

In should_remove_suid() we can see that ATTR_KILL_SUID is raised
unconditionally because the file in the test has S_ISUID set.

But we also see that ATTR_KILL_SGID won't be set because while the file
is S_ISGID it is not S_IXGRP (see above) which is a condition for
ATTR_KILL_SGID being raised.

So by the time we call notify_change() we have attr-&gt;ia_valid set to
ATTR_KILL_SUID | ATTR_FORCE. Now notify_change() sees that
ATTR_KILL_SUID is set and does:

ia_valid = attr-&gt;ia_valid |= ATTR_MODE
attr-&gt;ia_mode = (inode-&gt;i_mode &amp; ~S_ISUID);

which means that when we call setattr_copy() later we will definitely
update inode-&gt;i_mode. Note that attr-&gt;ia_mode still contains S_ISGID.

Now we call into the filesystem's -&gt;setattr() inode operation which will
end up calling setattr_copy(). Since ATTR_MODE is set we will hit:

if (ia_valid &amp; ATTR_MODE) {
        umode_t mode = attr-&gt;ia_mode;
        vfsgid_t vfsgid = i_gid_into_vfsgid(mnt_userns, inode);
        if (!vfsgid_in_group_p(vfsgid) &amp;&amp;
            !capable_wrt_inode_uidgid(mnt_userns, inode, CAP_FSETID))
                mode &amp;= ~S_ISGID;
        inode-&gt;i_mode = mode;
}

and since the caller in the test is neither capable nor in the group of the
inode the S_ISGID bit is stripped.

But assume the file isn't suid then ATTR_KILL_SUID won't be raised which
has the consequence that neither the setgid nor the suid bits are stripped
even though it should be stripped because the inode isn't in the caller's
groups and the caller isn't privileged over the inode.

If overlayfs is in the mix things become a bit more complicated and the bug
shows up more clearly. When e.g., ovl_setattr() is hit from
ovl_fallocate()'s call to file_remove_privs() then ATTR_KILL_SUID and
ATTR_KILL_SGID might be raised but because the check in notify_change() is
questioning the ATTR_KILL_SGID flag again by requiring S_IXGRP for it to be
stripped the S_ISGID bit isn't removed even though it should be stripped:

sys_fallocate()
-&gt; vfs_fallocate()
   -&gt; ovl_fallocate()
      -&gt; file_remove_privs()
         -&gt; dentry_needs_remove_privs()
            -&gt; should_remove_suid()
         -&gt; __remove_privs()
            newattrs.ia_valid = ATTR_FORCE | kill;
            -&gt; notify_change()
               -&gt; ovl_setattr()
                  // TAKE ON MOUNTER'S CREDS
                  -&gt; ovl_do_notify_change()
                     -&gt; notify_change()
                  // GIVE UP MOUNTER'S CREDS
     // TAKE ON MOUNTER'S CREDS
     -&gt; vfs_fallocate()
        -&gt; xfs_file_fallocate()
           -&gt; file_modified()
              -&gt; __file_remove_privs()
                 -&gt; dentry_needs_remove_privs()
                    -&gt; should_remove_suid()
                 -&gt; __remove_privs()
                    newattrs.ia_valid = attr_force | kill;
                    -&gt; notify_change()

The fix for all of this is to make file_remove_privs()'s
should_remove_suid() helper to perform the same checks as we already
require in setattr_prepare() and setattr_copy() and have notify_change()
not pointlessly requiring S_IXGRP again. It doesn't make any sense in the
first place because the caller must calculate the flags via
should_remove_suid() anyway which would raise ATTR_KILL_SGID.

While we're at it we move should_remove_suid() from inode.c to attr.c
where it belongs with the rest of the iattr helpers. Especially since it
returns ATTR_KILL_S{G,U}ID flags. We also rename it to
setattr_should_drop_suidgid() to better reflect that it indicates both
setuid and setgid bit removal and also that it returns attr flags.

Running xfstests with this doesn't report any regressions. We should really
try and use consistent checks.

[ Upstream commit f37c3bbc635994eda203a6da4ba0f9d05165a8d6 ]

Since referencing user space pointers is special, if the user wants to
filter on a field that is a pointer to user space, then they need to
specify it.

Add a ".ustring" attribute to the field name for filters to state that the
field is pointing to user space such that the kernel can take the
appropriate action to read that pointer.

[ Upstream commit 77360f9bbc7e5e2ab7a2c8b4c0244fbbfcfc6f62 ]

Pingfan reported that the following causes a fault:

  echo "filename ~ \"cpu\"" &gt; events/syscalls/sys_enter_openat/filter
  echo 1 &gt; events/syscalls/sys_enter_at/enable

The reason is that trace event filter treats the user space pointer
defined by "filename" as a normal pointer to compare against the "cpu"
string. The following bug happened:

The above happened because the kernel tried to access user space directly
and triggered a "supervisor read access in kernel mode" fault. Worse yet,
the memory could not even be loaded yet, and a SEGFAULT could happen as
well. This could be true for kernel space accessing as well.

To be even more robust, test both kernel and user space strings. If the
string fails to read, then simply have the filter fail.

Note, TASK_SIZE is used to determine if the pointer is user or kernel space
and the appropriate strncpy_from_kernel/user_nofault() function is used to
copy the memory. For some architectures, the compare to TASK_SIZE may always
pick user space or kernel space. If it gets it wrong, the only thing is that
the filter will fail to match. In the future, this needs to be fixed to have
the event denote which should be used. But failing a filter is much better
than panicing the machine, and that can be solved later.

<title>tracing/histogram: Rename "cpu" to "common_cpu"</title>

<id>urn:sha1:a5e1aff58943f9337e7f1f90126b1db7859f1a4b</id>

commit 1e3bac71c5053c99d438771fc9fa5082ae5d90aa upstream.

Currently the histogram logic allows the user to write "cpu" in as an
event field, and it will record the CPU that the event happened on.

The problem with this is that there's a lot of events that have "cpu"
as a real field, and using "cpu" as the CPU it ran on, makes it
impossible to run histograms on the "cpu" field of events.

For example, if I want to have a histogram on the count of the
workqueue_queue_work event on its cpu field, running:

 &gt;# echo 'hist:keys=cpu' &gt; events/workqueue/workqueue_queue_work/trigger

Gives a misleading and wrong result.

Change the command to "common_cpu" as no event should have "common_*"
fields as that's a reserved name for fields used by all events. And
this makes sense here as common_cpu would be a field used by all events.

Now we can even do:

 &gt;# echo 'hist:keys=common_cpu,cpu if cpu &lt; 100' &gt; events/workqueue/workqueue_queue_work/trigger
 &gt;# cat events/workqueue/workqueue_queue_work/hist
 # event histogram
 #
 # trigger info: hist:keys=common_cpu,cpu:vals=hitcount:sort=hitcount:size=2048 if cpu &lt; 100 [active]
 #

 { common_cpu:          0, cpu:          2 } hitcount:          1
 { common_cpu:          0, cpu:          4 } hitcount:          1
 { common_cpu:          7, cpu:          7 } hitcount:          1
 { common_cpu:          0, cpu:          7 } hitcount:          1
 { common_cpu:          0, cpu:          1 } hitcount:          1
 { common_cpu:          0, cpu:          6 } hitcount:          2
 { common_cpu:          0, cpu:          5 } hitcount:          2
 { common_cpu:          1, cpu:          1 } hitcount:          4
 { common_cpu:          6, cpu:          6 } hitcount:          4
 { common_cpu:          5, cpu:          5 } hitcount:         14
 { common_cpu:          4, cpu:          4 } hitcount:         26
 { common_cpu:          0, cpu:          0 } hitcount:         39
 { common_cpu:          2, cpu:          2 } hitcount:        184

Now for backward compatibility, I added a trick. If "cpu" is used, and
the field is not found, it will fall back to "common_cpu" and work as
it did before. This way, it will still work for old programs that use
"cpu" to get the actual CPU, but if the event has a "cpu" as a field, it
will get that event's "cpu" field, which is probably what it wants
anyway.

I updated the tracefs/README to include documentation about both the
common_timestamp and the common_cpu. This way, if that text is present in
the README, then an application can know that common_cpu is supported over
just plain "cpu".

Pull documentation updates from Mauro Carvalho Chehab:
 "A series of patches addressing warnings produced by make htmldocs.
  This includes:

   - kernel-doc markup fixes

   - ReST fixes

   - Updates at the build system in order to support newer versions of
     the docs build toolchain (Sphinx)

  After this series, the number of html build warnings should reduce
  significantly, and building with Sphinx 3.1 or later should now be
  supported (although it is still recommended to use Sphinx 2.4.4).

  As agreed with Jon, I should be sending you a late pull request by the
  end of the merge window addressing remaining issues with docs build,
  as there are a number of warning fixes that depends on pull requests
  that should be happening along the merge window.

  The end goal is to have a clean htmldocs build on Kernel 5.10.

  PS. It should be noticed that Sphinx 3.0 is not currently supported,
  as it lacks support for C domain namespaces. Such feature, needed in
  order to document uAPI system calls with Sphinx 3.x, was added only on
  Sphinx 3.1"

There are some c-domain tags that are wrong. While this won't
cause problems with Sphinx &lt; 3.0, this cause troubles with
newer versions, as the C parser won't recognize the contents
of the tag, and will drop it from the output.

Let's just place them at literal blocks.

Pull kernel_clone() updates from Christian Brauner:
 "During the v5.9 merge window we reworked the process creation
  codepaths across multiple architectures. After this work we were only
  left with the _do_fork() helper based on the struct kernel_clone_args
  calling convention. As was pointed out _do_fork() isn't valid
  kernelese especially for a helper that isn't just static.

  This series removes the _do_fork() helper and introduces the new
  kernel_clone() helper. The process creation cleanup didn't change the
  name to something more reasonable mainly because _do_fork() was used
  in quite a few places. So sending this as a separate series seemed the
  better strategy.

  I originally intended to send this early in the v5.9 development cycle
  after the merge window had closed but given that this was touching
  quite a few places I decided to defer this until the v5.10 merge
  window"
