<id>urn:sha1:c8c3ea85d74f3d56c009a28ff5108a086ec90296</id>
<content type='text'>
commit 70f1b0d34bdf03065fe869e93cc17cad1ea20c4a upstream.

The usb support for asyncio encoded one of it's values in the wrong
field.  It should have used si_value but instead used si_addr which is
not present in the _rt union member of struct siginfo.

The practical result of this is that on a 64bit big endian kernel
when delivering a signal to a 32bit process the si_addr field
is set to NULL, instead of the expected pointer value.

This issue can not be fixed in copy_siginfo_to_user32 as the usb
usage of the the _sigfault (aka si_addr) member of the siginfo
union when SI_ASYNCIO is set is incompatible with the POSIX and
glibc usage of the _rt member of the siginfo union.

Therefore replace kill_pid_info_as_cred with kill_pid_usb_asyncio a
dedicated function for this one specific case.  There are no other
users of kill_pid_info_as_cred so this specialization should have no
impact on the amount of code in the kernel.  Have kill_pid_usb_asyncio
take instead of a siginfo_t which is difficult and error prone, 3
arguments, a signal number, an errno value, and an address enconded as
a sigval_t.  The encoding of the address as a sigval_t allows the
code that reads the userspace request for a signal to handle this
compat issue along with all of the other compat issues.

Add BUILD_BUG_ONs in kernel/signal.c to ensure that we can now place
the pointer value at the in si_pid (instead of si_addr).  That is the
code now verifies that si_pid and si_addr always occur at the same
location.  Further the code veries that for native structures a value
placed in si_pid and spilling into si_uid will appear in userspace in
si_addr (on a byte by byte copy of siginfo or a field by field copy of
siginfo).  The code also verifies that for a 64bit kernel and a 32bit
userspace the 32bit pointer will fit in si_pid.

I have used the usbsig.c program below written by Alan Stern and
slightly tweaked by me to run on a big endian machine to verify the
issue exists (on sparc64) and to confirm the patch below fixes the issue.

<title>coredump: fix race condition between collapse_huge_page() and core dumping</title>

<id>urn:sha1:d7dcfd25208d0d17f407cd09fc8aa4571cf50228</id>
<content type='text'>
commit 59ea6d06cfa9247b586a695c21f94afa7183af74 upstream.

When fixing the race conditions between the coredump and the mmap_sem
holders outside the context of the process, we focused on
mmget_not_zero()/get_task_mm() callers in 04f5866e41fb70 ("coredump: fix
race condition between mmget_not_zero()/get_task_mm() and core
dumping"), but those aren't the only cases where the mmap_sem can be
taken outside of the context of the process as Michal Hocko noticed
while backporting that commit to older -stable kernels.

If mmgrab() is called in the context of the process, but then the
mm_count reference is transferred outside the context of the process,
that can also be a problem if the mmap_sem has to be taken for writing
through that mm_count reference.

khugepaged registration calls mmgrab() in the context of the process,
but the mmap_sem for writing is taken later in the context of the
khugepaged kernel thread.

collapse_huge_page() after taking the mmap_sem for writing doesn't
modify any vma, so it's not obvious that it could cause a problem to the
coredump, but it happens to modify the pmd in a way that breaks an
invariant that pmd_trans_huge_lock() relies upon.  collapse_huge_page()
needs the mmap_sem for writing just to block concurrent page faults that
call pmd_trans_huge_lock().

Specifically the invariant that "!pmd_trans_huge()" cannot become a
"pmd_trans_huge()" doesn't hold while collapse_huge_page() runs.

The coredump will call __get_user_pages() without mmap_sem for reading,
which eventually can invoke a lockless page fault which will need a
functional pmd_trans_huge_lock().

So collapse_huge_page() needs to use mmget_still_valid() to check it's
not running concurrently with the coredump...  as long as the coredump
can invoke page faults without holding the mmap_sem for reading.

This has "Fixes: khugepaged" to facilitate backporting, but in my view
it's more a bug in the coredump code that will eventually have to be
rewritten to stop invoking page faults without the mmap_sem for reading.
So the long term plan is still to drop all mmget_still_valid().

The core dumping code has always run without holding the mmap_sem for
writing, despite that is the only way to ensure that the entire vma
layout will not change from under it.  Only using some signal
serialization on the processes belonging to the mm is not nearly enough.
This was pointed out earlier.  For example in Hugh's post from Jul 2017:

  https://lkml.kernel.org/r/alpine.LSU.2.11.1707191716030.2055@eggly.anvils

  "Not strictly relevant here, but a related note: I was very surprised
   to discover, only quite recently, how handle_mm_fault() may be called
   without down_read(mmap_sem) - when core dumping. That seems a
   misguided optimization to me, which would also be nice to correct"

In particular because the growsdown and growsup can move the
vm_start/vm_end the various loops the core dump does around the vma will
not be consistent if page faults can happen concurrently.

Pretty much all users calling mmget_not_zero()/get_task_mm() and then
taking the mmap_sem had the potential to introduce unexpected side
effects in the core dumping code.

Adding mmap_sem for writing around the -&gt;core_dump invocation is a
viable long term fix, but it requires removing all copy user and page
faults and to replace them with get_dump_page() for all binary formats
which is not suitable as a short term fix.

For the time being this solution manually covers the places that can
confuse the core dump either by altering the vma layout or the vma flags
while it runs.  Once -&gt;core_dump runs under mmap_sem for writing the
function mmget_still_valid() can be dropped.

Allowing mmap_sem protected sections to run in parallel with the
coredump provides some minor parallelism advantage to the swapoff code
(which seems to be safe enough by never mangling any vma field and can
keep doing swapins in parallel to the core dumping) and to some other
corner case.

In order to facilitate the backporting I added "Fixes: 86039bd3b4e6"
however the side effect of this same race condition in /proc/pid/mem
should be reproducible since before 2.6.12-rc2 so I couldn't add any
other "Fixes:" because there's no hash beyond the git genesis commit.

Because find_extend_vma() is the only location outside of the process
context that could modify the "mm" structures under mmap_sem for
reading, by adding the mmget_still_valid() check to it, all other cases
that take the mmap_sem for reading don't need the new check after
mmget_not_zero()/get_task_mm().  The expand_stack() in page fault
context also doesn't need the new check, because all tasks under core
dumping are frozen.

<title>ptrace: take into account saved_sigmask in PTRACE{GET,SET}SIGMASK</title>

<id>urn:sha1:fcfc2aa0185f4a731d05a21e9f359968fdfd02e7</id>
<content type='text'>
There are a few system calls (pselect, ppoll, etc) which replace a task
sigmask while they are running in a kernel-space

When a task calls one of these syscalls, the kernel saves a current
sigmask in task-&gt;saved_sigmask and sets a syscall sigmask.

On syscall-exit-stop, ptrace traps a task before restoring the
saved_sigmask, so PTRACE_GETSIGMASK returns the syscall sigmask and
PTRACE_SETSIGMASK does nothing, because its sigmask is replaced by
saved_sigmask, when the task returns to user-space.

This patch fixes this problem.  PTRACE_GETSIGMASK returns saved_sigmask
if it's set.  PTRACE_SETSIGMASK drops the TIF_RESTORE_SIGMASK flag.

Pull io_uring IO interface from Jens Axboe:
 "Second attempt at adding the io_uring interface.

  Since the first one, we've added basic unit testing of the three
  system calls, that resides in liburing like the other unit tests that
  we have so far. It'll take a while to get full coverage of it, but
  we're working towards it. I've also added two basic test programs to
  tools/io_uring. One uses the raw interface and has support for all the
  various features that io_uring supports outside of standard IO, like
  fixed files, fixed IO buffers, and polled IO. The other uses the
  liburing API, and is a simplified version of cp(1).

  This adds support for a new IO interface, io_uring.

  io_uring allows an application to communicate with the kernel through
  two rings, the submission queue (SQ) and completion queue (CQ) ring.
  This allows for very efficient handling of IOs, see the v5 posting for
  some basic numbers:

    https://lore.kernel.org/linux-block/20190116175003.17880-1-axboe@kernel.dk/

  Outside of just efficiency, the interface is also flexible and
  extendable, and allows for future use cases like the upcoming NVMe
  key-value store API, networked IO, and so on. It also supports async
  buffered IO, something that we've always failed to support in the
  kernel.

  Outside of basic IO features, it supports async polled IO as well.
  This particular feature has already been tested at Facebook months ago
  for flash storage boxes, with 25-33% improvements. It makes polled IO
  actually useful for real world use cases, where even basic flash sees
  a nice win in terms of efficiency, latency, and performance. These
  boxes were IOPS bound before, now they are not.

  This series adds three new system calls. One for setting up an
  io_uring instance (io_uring_setup(2)), one for submitting/completing
  IO (io_uring_enter(2)), and one for aux functions like registrating
  file sets, buffers, etc (io_uring_register(2)). Through the help of
  Arnd, I've coordinated the syscall numbers so merge on that front
  should be painless.

  Jon did a writeup of the interface a while back, which (except for
  minor details that have been tweaked) is still accurate. Find that
  here:

    https://lwn.net/Articles/776703/

  Huge thanks to Al Viro for helping getting the reference cycle code
  correct, and to Jann Horn for his extensive reviews focused on both
  security and bugs in general.

  There's a userspace library that provides basic functionality for
  applications that don't need or want to care about how to fiddle with
  the rings directly. It has helpers to allow applications to easily set
  up an io_uring instance, and submit/complete IO through it without
  knowing about the intricacies of the rings. It also includes man pages
  (thanks to Jeff Moyer), and will continue to grow support helper
  functions and features as time progresses. Find it here:

    git://git.kernel.dk/liburing

  Fio has full support for the raw interface, both in the form of an IO
  engine (io_uring), but also with a small test application (t/io_uring)
  that can exercise and benchmark the interface"

<title>mm/cma: add PF flag to force non cma alloc</title>

Patch series "mm/kvm/vfio/ppc64: Migrate compound pages out of CMA
region", v8.

ppc64 uses the CMA area for the allocation of guest page table (hash
page table).  We won't be able to start guest if we fail to allocate
hash page table.  We have observed hash table allocation failure because
we failed to migrate pages out of CMA region because they were pinned.
This happen when we are using VFIO.  VFIO on ppc64 pins the entire guest
RAM.  If the guest RAM pages get allocated out of CMA region, we won't
be able to migrate those pages.  The pages are also pinned for the
lifetime of the guest.

Currently we support migration of non-compound pages.  With THP and with
the addition of hugetlb migration we can end up allocating compound
pages from CMA region.  This patch series add support for migrating
compound pages.

This patch (of 4):

Add PF_MEMALLOC_NOCMA which make sure any allocation in that context is
marked non-movable and hence cannot be satisfied by CMA region.

This is useful with get_user_pages_longterm where we want to take a page
pin by migrating pages from CMA region.  Marking the section
PF_MEMALLOC_NOCMA ensures that we avoid unnecessary page migration
later.

<title>Add io_uring IO interface</title>

<content type='text'>
The submission queue (SQ) and completion queue (CQ) rings are shared
between the application and the kernel. This eliminates the need to
copy data back and forth to submit and complete IO.

IO submissions use the io_uring_sqe data structure, and completions
are generated in the form of io_uring_cqe data structures. The SQ
ring is an index into the io_uring_sqe array, which makes it possible
to submit a batch of IOs without them being contiguous in the ring.
The CQ ring is always contiguous, as completion events are inherently
unordered, and hence any io_uring_cqe entry can point back to an
arbitrary submission.

Two new system calls are added for this:

io_uring_setup(entries, params)
	Sets up an io_uring instance for doing async IO. On success,
	returns a file descriptor that the application can mmap to
	gain access to the SQ ring, CQ ring, and io_uring_sqes.

io_uring_enter(fd, to_submit, min_complete, flags, sigset, sigsetsize)
	Initiates IO against the rings mapped to this fd, or waits for
	them to complete, or both. The behavior is controlled by the
	parameters passed in. If 'to_submit' is non-zero, then we'll
	try and submit new IO. If IORING_ENTER_GETEVENTS is set, the
	kernel will wait for 'min_complete' events, if they aren't
	already available. It's valid to set IORING_ENTER_GETEVENTS
	and 'min_complete' == 0 at the same time, this allows the
	kernel to return already completed events without waiting
	for them. This is useful only for polling, as for IRQ
	driven IO, the application can just check the CQ ring
	without entering the kernel.

With this setup, it's possible to do async IO with a single system
call. Future developments will enable polled IO with this interface,
and polled submission as well. The latter will enable an application
to do IO without doing ANY system calls at all.

For IRQ driven IO, an application only needs to enter the kernel for
completions if it wants to wait for them to occur.

Each io_uring is backed by a workqueue, to support buffered async IO
as well. We will only punt to an async context if the command would
need to wait for IO on the device side. Any data that can be accessed
directly in the page cache is done inline. This avoids the slowness
issue of usual threadpools, since cached data is accessed as quickly
as a sync interface.

Sample application: http://git.kernel.dk/cgit/fio/plain/t/io_uring.c

<title>sched/topology: Fix percpu data types in struct sd_data &amp; struct s_data</title>

The percpu members of struct sd_data and s_data are declared as:

	struct ... ** __percpu member;

So their type is:

	__percpu pointer to pointer to struct ...

But looking at how they're used, their type should be:

	pointer to __percpu pointer to struct ...

and they should thus be declared as:

	struct ... * __percpu *member;

So fix the placement of '__percpu' in the definition of these
structures.

This addresses a bunch of Sparse's warnings like:

	warning: incorrect type in initializer (different address spaces)
	  expected void const [noderef] &lt;asn:3&gt; *__vpp_verify
	  got struct sched_domain **
