all arch: remove system call sys_sysctl

2020-08-15T02:56:56Z

Since commit 61a47c1ad3a4dc ("sysctl: Remove the sysctl system call"), sys_sysctl is actually unavailable: any input can only return an error. We have been warning about people using the sysctl system call for years and believe there are no more users. Even if there are users of this interface if they have not complained or fixed their code by now they probably are not going to, so there is no point in warning them any longer. So completely remove sys_sysctl on all architectures.

syscalls: use uaccess_kernel in addr_limit_user_check

2020-08-12T17:57:58Z

Patch series "clean up address limit helpers", v2. In preparation for eventually phasing out direct use of set_fs(), this series removes the segment_eq() arch helper that is only used to implement or duplicate the uaccess_kernel() API, and then adds descriptive helpers to force the kernel address limit. This patch (of 6): Use the uaccess_kernel helper instead of duplicating it.

Pull close_range() implementation from Christian Brauner: "This adds the close_range() syscall. It allows to efficiently close a range of file descriptors up to all file descriptors of a calling task. This is coordinated with the FreeBSD folks which have copied our version of this syscall and in the meantime have already merged it in April 2019: https://reviews.freebsd.org/D21627 https://svnweb.freebsd.org/base?view=revision&revision=359836 The syscall originally came up in a discussion around the new mount API and making new file descriptor types cloexec by default. During this discussion, Al suggested the close_range() syscall. First, it helps to close all file descriptors of an exec()ing task. This can be done safely via (quoting Al's example from [1] verbatim): /* that exec is sensitive */ unshare(CLONE_FILES); /* we don't want anything past stderr here */ close_range(3, ~0U); execve(....); The code snippet above is one way of working around the problem that file descriptors are not cloexec by default. This is aggravated by the fact that we can't just switch them over without massively regressing userspace. For a whole class of programs having an in-kernel method of closing all file descriptors is very helpful (e.g. demons, service managers, programming language standard libraries, container managers etc.). Second, it allows userspace to avoid implementing closing all file descriptors by parsing through /proc//fd/* and calling close() on each file descriptor and other hacks. From looking at various large(ish) userspace code bases this or similar patterns are very common in service managers, container runtimes, and programming language runtimes/standard libraries such as Python or Rust. In addition, the syscall will also work for tasks that do not have procfs mounted and on kernels that do not have procfs support compiled in. In such situations the only way to make sure that all file descriptors are closed is to call close() on each file descriptor up to UINT_MAX or RLIMIT_NOFILE, OPEN_MAX trickery. Based on Linus' suggestion close_range() also comes with a new flag CLOSE_RANGE_UNSHARE to more elegantly handle file descriptor dropping right before exec. This would usually be expressed in the sequence: unshare(CLONE_FILES); close_range(3, ~0U); as pointed out by Linus it might be desirable to have this be a part of close_range() itself under a new flag CLOSE_RANGE_UNSHARE which gets especially handy when we're closing all file descriptors above a certain threshold.

Add a simple helper to check if a file exists based on kernel space file name and switch the early init code over to it. Note that this theoretically changes behavior as it always is based on the effective permissions. But during early init that doesn't make a difference. Signed-off-by: Christoph Hellwig
