<content type='text'>
commit 22fdcf02f6e80d64a927f702dd9d631a927d87d4 upstream.

This commit reverts the addition of lockdep checking to raw_seqcount_begin
for the following reasons:

 1) It violates the naming convention that raw_* functions should not
    do lockdep checks (a convention that is also followed by the other
    raw_*_seqcount_begin functions).

 2) raw_seqcount_begin does not spin, so it can only be part of an ABBA
    deadlock in very special circumstances (for instance if a lock
    is held across the entire raw_seqcount_begin()+read_seqcount_retry()
    loop while also being taken inside the write_seqcount protected area).

 3) It is causing false positives with some existing callers, and there
    is no non-lockdep alternative for those callers to use.

None of the three existing callers (__d_lookup_rcu, netdev_get_name, and
the NFS state code) appear to use the function in a manner that is ABBA
deadlock prone.

<title>workqueue: apply __WQ_ORDERED to create_singlethread_workqueue()</title>

<id>urn:sha1:41619333d63259a5c31fc6e29e405698e4f824dc</id>
<content type='text'>
commit e09c2c295468476a239d13324ce9042ec4de05eb upstream.

create_singlethread_workqueue() is a compat interface for single
threaded workqueue which maps to ordered workqueue w/ rescuer in the
current implementation.  create_singlethread_workqueue() currently
implemented by invoking alloc_workqueue() w/ appropriate parameters.

8719dceae2f9 ("workqueue: reject adjusting max_active or applying
attrs to ordered workqueues") introduced __WQ_ORDERED to protect
ordered workqueues against dynamic attribute changes which can break
ordering guarantees but forgot to apply it to
create_singlethread_workqueue().  This in itself is okay as nobody
currently uses dynamic attribute change on workqueues created with
create_singlethread_workqueue().

However, 4c16bd327c ("workqueue: implement NUMA affinity for unbound
workqueues") broke singlethreaded guarantee for ordered workqueues
through allocating a separate pool_workqueue on each NUMA node by
default.  A later change 8a2b75384444 ("workqueue: fix ordered
workqueues in NUMA setups") fixed it by allocating only one global
pool_workqueue if __WQ_ORDERED is set.

Combined, the __WQ_ORDERED omission in create_singlethread_workqueue()
became critical breaking its single threadedness and ordering
guarantee.

Let's make create_singlethread_workqueue() wrap
alloc_ordered_workqueue() instead so that it inherits __WQ_ORDERED and
can implicitly track future ordered_workqueue changes.

v2: I missed that __WQ_ORDERED now protects against pwq splitting
    across NUMA nodes and incorrectly described the patch as a
    nice-to-have fix to protect against future dynamic attribute
    usages.  Oleg pointed out that this is actually a critical
    breakage due to 8a2b75384444 ("workqueue: fix ordered workqueues
    in NUMA setups").

<content type='text'>
commit 9566d6742852c527bf5af38af5cbb878dad75705 upstream.

While invesgiating the issue where in "mount --bind -oremount,ro ..."
would result in later "mount --bind -oremount,rw" succeeding even if
the mount started off locked I realized that there are several
additional mount flags that should be locked and are not.

In particular MNT_NOSUID, MNT_NODEV, MNT_NOEXEC, and the atime
flags in addition to MNT_READONLY should all be locked.  These
flags are all per superblock, can all be changed with MS_BIND,
and should not be changable if set by a more privileged user.

The following additions to the current logic are added in this patch.
- nosuid may not be clearable by a less privileged user.
- nodev  may not be clearable by a less privielged user.
- noexec may not be clearable by a less privileged user.
- atime flags may not be changeable by a less privileged user.

The logic with atime is that always setting atime on access is a
global policy and backup software and auditing software could break if
atime bits are not updated (when they are configured to be updated),
and serious performance degradation could result (DOS attack) if atime
updates happen when they have been explicitly disabled.  Therefore an
unprivileged user should not be able to mess with the atime bits set
by a more privileged user.

The additional restrictions are implemented with the addition of
MNT_LOCK_NOSUID, MNT_LOCK_NODEV, MNT_LOCK_NOEXEC, and MNT_LOCK_ATIME
mnt flags.

Taken together these changes and the fixes for MNT_LOCK_READONLY
should make it safe for an unprivileged user to create a user
namespace and to call "mount --bind -o remount,... ..." without
the danger of mount flags being changed maliciously.

commit a6138db815df5ee542d848318e5dae681590fccd upstream.

Kenton Varda &lt;kenton@sandstorm.io&gt; discovered that by remounting a
read-only bind mount read-only in a user namespace the
MNT_LOCK_READONLY bit would be cleared, allowing an unprivileged user
to the remount a read-only mount read-write.

Correct this by replacing the mask of mount flags to preserve
with a mask of mount flags that may be changed, and preserve
all others.   This ensures that any future bugs with this mask and
remount will fail in an easy to detect way where new mount flags
simply won't change.

<title>CAPABILITIES: remove undefined caps from all processes</title>

<id>urn:sha1:1ae2c97a0a284ca73754acd2b3be33fe4f2505b2</id>
<content type='text'>
commit 7d8b6c63751cfbbe5eef81a48c22978b3407a3ad upstream.

This is effectively a revert of 7b9a7ec565505699f503b4fcf61500dceb36e744
plus fixing it a different way...

We found, when trying to run an application from an application which
had dropped privs that the kernel does security checks on undefined
capability bits.  This was ESPECIALLY difficult to debug as those
undefined bits are hidden from /proc/$PID/status.

Consider a root application which drops all capabilities from ALL 4
capability sets.  We assume, since the application is going to set
eff/perm/inh from an array that it will clear not only the defined caps
less than CAP_LAST_CAP, but also the higher 28ish bits which are
undefined future capabilities.

The BSET gets cleared differently.  Instead it is cleared one bit at a
time.  The problem here is that in security/commoncap.c::cap_task_prctl()
we actually check the validity of a capability being read.  So any task
which attempts to 'read all things set in bset' followed by 'unset all
things set in bset' will not even attempt to unset the undefined bits
higher than CAP_LAST_CAP.

So the 'parent' will look something like:
CapInh:	0000000000000000
CapPrm:	0000000000000000
CapEff:	0000000000000000
CapBnd:	ffffffc000000000

All of this 'should' be fine.  Given that these are undefined bits that
aren't supposed to have anything to do with permissions.  But they do...

So lets now consider a task which cleared the eff/perm/inh completely
and cleared all of the valid caps in the bset (but not the invalid caps
it couldn't read out of the kernel).  We know that this is exactly what
the libcap-ng library does and what the go capabilities library does.
They both leave you in that above situation if you try to clear all of
you capapabilities from all 4 sets.  If that root task calls execve()
the child task will pick up all caps not blocked by the bset.  The bset
however does not block bits higher than CAP_LAST_CAP.  So now the child
task has bits in eff which are not in the parent.  These are
'meaningless' undefined bits, but still bits which the parent doesn't
have.

The problem is now in cred_cap_issubset() (or any operation which does a
subset test) as the child, while a subset for valid cap bits, is not a
subset for invalid cap bits!  So now we set durring commit creds that
the child is not dumpable.  Given it is 'more priv' than its parent.  It
also means the parent cannot ptrace the child and other stupidity.

The solution here:
1) stop hiding capability bits in status
	This makes debugging easier!

2) stop giving any task undefined capability bits.  it's simple, it you
don't put those invalid bits in CAP_FULL_SET you won't get them in init
and you won't get them in any other task either.
	This fixes the cap_issubset() tests and resulting fallout (which
	made the init task in a docker container untraceable among other
	things)

3) mask out undefined bits when sys_capset() is called as it might use
~0, ~0 to denote 'all capabilities' for backward/forward compatibility.
	This lets 'capsh --caps="all=eip" -- -c /bin/bash' run.

4) mask out undefined bit when we read a file capability off of disk as
again likely all bits are set in the xattr for forward/backward
compatibility.
	This lets 'setcap all+pe /bin/bash; /bin/bash' run

commit 3c45ddf823d679a820adddd53b52c6699c9a05ac upstream.

The current code always selects XPRT_TRANSPORT_BC_TCP for the back
channel, even when the forward channel was not TCP (eg, RDMA). When
a 4.1 mount is attempted with RDMA, the server panics in the TCP BC
code when trying to send CB_NULL.

Instead, construct the transport protocol number from the forward
channel transport or'd with XPRT_TRANSPORT_BC. Transports that do
not support bi-directional RPC will not have registered a "BC"
transport, causing create_backchannel_client() to fail immediately.
