commit e23f568aa63f64cd6b355094224cc9356c0f696b upstream.

When the 32bit ino wraps around, kernfs increments the generation
number to distinguish reused ino instances.  The wrap-around detection
tests whether the allocated ino is lower than what the cursor but the
cursor is pointing to the next ino to allocate so the condition never
triggers.

Fix it by remembering the last ino and comparing against that.

Pull selinux updates from Paul Moore:
 "We've got a few SELinux patches for the v5.2 merge window, the
  highlights are below:

   - Add LSM hooks, and the SELinux implementation, for proper labeling
     of kernfs. While we are only including the SELinux implementation
     here, the rest of the LSM folks have given the hooks a thumbs-up.

   - Update the SELinux mdp (Make Dummy Policy) script to actually work
     on a modern system.

   - Disallow userspace to change the LSM credentials via
     /proc/self/attr when the task's credentials are already overridden.

     The change was made in procfs because all the LSM folks agreed this
     was the Right Thing To Do and duplicating it across each LSM was
     going to be annoying"

<id>urn:sha1:1537ad15c9c59ce852748578eb5633139053e86b</id>
<content type='text'>
The implementation of kernfs_security_xattr_*() helpers reuses the
kernfs_node_xattr_*() functions, which take the suffix of the xattr name
and extract full xattr name from it using xattr_full_name(). However,
this function relies on the fact that the suffix passed to xattr
handlers from VFS is always constructed from the full name by just
incerementing the pointer. This doesn't necessarily hold for the callers
of kernfs_security_xattr_*(), so their usage will easily lead to
out-of-bounds access.

Fix this by moving the xattr name reconstruction to the VFS xattr
handlers and replacing the kernfs_security_xattr_*() helpers with more
general kernfs_xattr_*() helpers that take full xattr name and allow
accessing all kernfs node's xattrs.

<id>urn:sha1:b230d5aba2d1a7b0636408889a75bf9eae6b8bc7</id>
<content type='text'>
This patch introduces a new security hook that is intended for
initializing the security data for newly created kernfs nodes, which
provide a way of storing a non-default security context, but need to
operate independently from mounts (and therefore may not have an
associated inode at the moment of creation).

The main motivation is to allow kernfs nodes to inherit the context of
the parent under SELinux, similar to the behavior of
security_inode_init_security(). Other LSMs may implement their own logic
for handling the creation of new nodes.

This patch also adds helper functions to &lt;linux/kernfs.h&gt; for
getting/setting security xattrs of a kernfs node so that LSMs hooks are
able to do their job. Other important attributes should be accessible
direcly in the kernfs_node fields (in case there is need for more, then
new helpers should be added to kernfs.h along with the patch that needs
them).

Pull vfs mount infrastructure updates from Al Viro:
 "The rest of core infrastructure; no new syscalls in that pile, but the
  old parts are switched to new infrastructure. At that point
  conversions of individual filesystems can happen independently; some
  are done here (afs, cgroup, procfs, etc.), there's also a large series
  outside of that pile dealing with NFS (quite a bit of option-parsing
  stuff is getting used there - it's one of the most convoluted
  filesystems in terms of mount-related logics), but NFS bits are the
  next cycle fodder.

  It got seriously simplified since the last cycle; documentation is
  probably the weakest bit at the moment - I considered dropping the
  commit introducing Documentation/filesystems/mount_api.txt (cutting
  the size increase by quarter ;-), but decided that it would be better
  to fix it up after -rc1 instead.

  That pile allows to do followup work in independent branches, which
  should make life much easier for the next cycle. fs/super.c size
  increase is unpleasant; there's a followup series that allows to
  shrink it considerably, but I decided to leave that until the next
  cycle"

Patch series "psi: pressure stall monitors", v3.

Android is adopting psi to detect and remedy memory pressure that
results in stuttering and decreased responsiveness on mobile devices.

Psi gives us the stall information, but because we're dealing with
latencies in the millisecond range, periodically reading the pressure
files to detect stalls in a timely fashion is not feasible.  Psi also
doesn't aggregate its averages at a high enough frequency right now.

This patch series extends the psi interface such that users can
configure sensitive latency thresholds and use poll() and friends to be
notified when these are breached.

As high-frequency aggregation is costly, it implements an aggregation
method that is optimized for fast, short-interval averaging, and makes
the aggregation frequency adaptive, such that high-frequency updates
only happen while monitored stall events are actively occurring.

With these patches applied, Android can monitor for, and ward off,
mounting memory shortages before they cause problems for the user.  For
example, using memory stall monitors in userspace low memory killer
daemon (lmkd) we can detect mounting pressure and kill less important
processes before device becomes visibly sluggish.

In our memory stress testing psi memory monitors produce roughly 10x
less false positives compared to vmpressure signals.  Having ability to
specify multiple triggers for the same psi metric allows other parts of
Android framework to monitor memory state of the device and act
accordingly.

The new interface is straightforward.  The user opens one of the
pressure files for writing and writes a trigger description into the
file descriptor that defines the stall state - some or full, and the
maximum stall time over a given window of time.  E.g.:

        /* Signal when stall time exceeds 100ms of a 1s window */
        char trigger[] = "full 100000 1000000";
        fd = open("/proc/pressure/memory");
        write(fd, trigger, sizeof(trigger));
        while (poll() &gt;= 0) {
                ...
        }
        close(fd);

When the monitored stall state is entered, psi adapts its aggregation
frequency according to what the configured time window requires in order
to emit event signals in a timely fashion.  Once the stalling subsides,
aggregation reverts back to normal.

The trigger is associated with the open file descriptor.  To stop
monitoring, the user only needs to close the file descriptor and the
trigger is discarded.

Patches 1-4 prepare the psi code for polling support.  Patch 5
implements the adaptive polling logic, the pressure growth detection
optimized for short intervals, and hooks up write() and poll() on the
pressure files.

The patches were developed in collaboration with Johannes Weiner.

This patch (of 5):

Kernfs has a standardized poll/notification mechanism for waking all
pollers on all fds when a filesystem node changes.  To allow polling for
custom events, add a .poll callback that can override the default.

This is in preparation for pollable cgroup pressure files which have
per-fd trigger configurations.

<content type='text'>
Make kernfs support superblock creation/mount/remount with fs_context.

This requires that sysfs, cgroup and intel_rdt, which are built on kernfs,
be made to support fs_context also.

Notes:

 (1) A kernfs_fs_context struct is created to wrap fs_context and the
     kernfs mount parameters are moved in here (or are in fs_context).

 (2) kernfs_mount{,_ns}() are made into kernfs_get_tree().  The extra
     namespace tag parameter is passed in the context if desired

 (3) kernfs_free_fs_context() is provided as a destructor for the
     kernfs_fs_context struct, but for the moment it does nothing except
     get called in the right places.

 (4) sysfs doesn't wrap kernfs_fs_context since it has no parameters to
     pass, but possibly this should be done anyway in case someone wants to
     add a parameter in future.

 (5) A cgroup_fs_context struct is created to wrap kernfs_fs_context and
     the cgroup v1 and v2 mount parameters are all moved there.

 (6) cgroup1 parameter parsing error messages are now handled by invalf(),
     which allows userspace to collect them directly.

 (7) cgroup1 parameter cleanup is now done in the context destructor rather
     than in the mount/get_tree and remount functions.

Weirdies:

 (*) cgroup_do_get_tree() calls cset_cgroup_from_root() with locks held,
     but then uses the resulting pointer after dropping the locks.  I'm
     told this is okay and needs commenting.

 (*) The cgroup refcount web.  This really needs documenting.

 (*) cgroup2 only has one root?

Add a suggestion from Thomas Gleixner in which the RDT enablement code is
placed into its own function.
