[ Upstream commit 3234ac664a870e6ea69ae3a57d824cd7edbeacc5 ]

Close the hole of holding a mapping over kernel driver takeover event of
a given address range.

Commit 90a545e98126 ("restrict /dev/mem to idle io memory ranges")
introduced CONFIG_IO_STRICT_DEVMEM with the goal of protecting the
kernel against scenarios where a /dev/mem user tramples memory that a
kernel driver owns. However, this protection only prevents *new* read(),
write() and mmap() requests. Established mappings prior to the driver
calling request_mem_region() are left alone.

Especially with persistent memory, and the core kernel metadata that is
stored there, there are plentiful scenarios for a /dev/mem user to
violate the expectations of the driver and cause amplified damage.

Teach request_mem_region() to find and shoot down active /dev/mem
mappings that it believes it has successfully claimed for the exclusive
use of the driver. Effectively a driver call to request_mem_region()
becomes a hole-punch on the /dev/mem device.

The typical usage of unmap_mapping_range() is part of
truncate_pagecache() to punch a hole in a file, but in this case the
implementation is only doing the "first half" of a hole punch. Namely it
is just evacuating current established mappings of the "hole", and it
relies on the fact that /dev/mem establishes mappings in terms of
absolute physical address offsets. Once existing mmap users are
invalidated they can attempt to re-establish the mapping, or attempt to
continue issuing read(2) / write(2) to the invalidated extent, but they
will then be subject to the CONFIG_IO_STRICT_DEVMEM checking that can
block those subsequent accesses.

EROFS filesystem has been merged into linux-staging for a year.

EROFS is designed to be a better solution of saving extra storage
space with guaranteed end-to-end performance for read-only files
with the help of reduced metadata, fixed-sized output compression
and decompression inplace technologies.

In the past year, EROFS was greatly improved by many people as
a staging driver, self-tested, betaed by a large number of our
internal users, successfully applied to almost all in-service
HUAWEI smartphones as the part of EMUI 9.1 and proven to be stable
enough to be moved out of staging.

EROFS is a self-contained filesystem driver. Although there are
still some TODOs to be more generic, we have a dedicated team
actively keeping on working on EROFS in order to make it better
with the evolution of Linux kernel as the other in-kernel filesystems.

As Pavel suggested, it's better to do as one commit since git
can do moves and all histories will be saved in this way.

Let's promote it from staging and enhance it more actively as
a "real" part of kernel for more wider scenarios!

<title>dma-buf: give each buffer a full-fledged inode</title>

<id>urn:sha1:ed63bb1d1f8469586006a9ca63c42344401aa2ab</id>
<content type='text'>
By traversing /proc/*/fd and /proc/*/map_files, processes with CAP_ADMIN
can get a lot of fine-grained data about how shmem buffers are shared
among processes.  stat(2) on each entry gives the caller a unique
ID (st_ino), the buffer's size (st_size), and even the number of pages
currently charged to the buffer (st_blocks / 512).

In contrast, all dma-bufs share the same anonymous inode.  So while we
can count how many dma-buf fds or mappings a process has, we can't get
the size of the backing buffers or tell if two entries point to the same
dma-buf.  On systems with debugfs, we can get a per-buffer breakdown of
size and reference count, but can't tell which processes are actually
holding the references to each buffer.

Replace the singleton inode with full-fledged inodes allocated by
alloc_anon_inode().  This involves creating and mounting a
mini-pseudo-filesystem for dma-buf, following the example in fs/aio.c.

Convert the zsfold filesystem to the new internal mount API as the old one
will be obsoleted and removed.  This allows greater flexibility in
communication of mount parameters between userspace, the VFS and the
filesystem.

<title>binder: implement binderfs</title>
<updated>2018-12-19T08:40:13Z</updated>
<author>
<name>Christian Brauner</name>

<link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='https://git.stealer.net/cgit.cgi/user/sven/linux.git/commit/?id=3ad20fe393b31025bebfc2d76964561f65df48aa'/>
<id>urn:sha1:3ad20fe393b31025bebfc2d76964561f65df48aa</id>
<content type='text'>
As discussed at Linux Plumbers Conference 2018 in Vancouver [1] this is the
implementation of binderfs.

/* Abstract */
binderfs is a backwards-compatible filesystem for Android's binder ipc
mechanism. Each ipc namespace will mount a new binderfs instance. Mounting
binderfs multiple times at different locations in the same ipc namespace
will not cause a new super block to be allocated and hence it will be the
same filesystem instance.
Each new binderfs mount will have its own set of binder devices only
visible in the ipc namespace it has been mounted in. All devices in a new
binderfs mount will follow the scheme binder%d and numbering will always
start at 0.

/* Backwards compatibility */
Devices requested in the Kconfig via CONFIG_ANDROID_BINDER_DEVICES for the
initial ipc namespace will work as before. They will be registered via
misc_register() and appear in the devtmpfs mount. Specifically, the
standard devices binder, hwbinder, and vndbinder will all appear in their
standard locations in /dev. Mounting or unmounting the binderfs mount in
the initial ipc namespace will have no effect on these devices, i.e. they
will neither show up in the binderfs mount nor will they disappear when the
binderfs mount is gone.

/* binder-control */
Each new binderfs instance comes with a binder-control device. No other
devices will be present at first. The binder-control device can be used to
dynamically allocate binder devices. All requests operate on the binderfs
mount the binder-control device resides in.
Assuming a new instance of binderfs has been mounted at /dev/binderfs
via mount -t binderfs binderfs /dev/binderfs. Then a request to create a
new binder device can be made as illustrated in [2].
Binderfs devices can simply be removed via unlink().

/* Implementation details */
- dynamic major number allocation:
  When binderfs is registered as a new filesystem it will dynamically
  allocate a new major number. The allocated major number will be returned
  in struct binderfs_device when a new binder device is allocated.
- global minor number tracking:
  Minor are tracked in a global idr struct that is capped at
  BINDERFS_MAX_MINOR. The minor number tracker is protected by a global
  mutex. This is the only point of contention between binderfs mounts.
- struct binderfs_info:
  Each binderfs super block has its own struct binderfs_info that tracks
  specific details about a binderfs instance:
  - ipc namespace
  - dentry of the binder-control device
  - root uid and root gid of the user namespace the binderfs instance
    was mounted in
- mountable by user namespace root:
  binderfs can be mounted by user namespace root in a non-initial user
  namespace. The devices will be owned by user namespace root.
- binderfs binder devices without misc infrastructure:
  New binder devices associated with a binderfs mount do not use the
  full misc_register() infrastructure.
  The misc_register() infrastructure can only create new devices in the
  host's devtmpfs mount. binderfs does however only make devices appear
  under its own mountpoint and thus allocates new character device nodes
  from the inode of the root dentry of the super block. This will have
  the side-effect that binderfs specific device nodes do not appear in
  sysfs. This behavior is similar to devpts allocated pts devices and
  has no effect on the functionality of the ipc mechanism itself.

Needed by userspace programs that call fstatfs().

It'd be natural to publish XFS_SB_MAGIC in uapi, but while these two
have identical values, they have different semantic meaning: one is
an enum cookie meant for statfs, the other a signature of the
on-disk format.

<title>afs: Lay the groundwork for supporting network namespaces</title>

<content type='text'>
Lay the groundwork for supporting network namespaces (netns) to the AFS
filesystem by moving various global features to a network-namespace struct
(afs_net) and providing an instance of this as a temporary global variable
that everything uses via accessor functions for the moment.

The following changes have been made:

 (1) Store the netns in the superblock info.  This will be obtained from
     the mounter's nsproxy on a manual mount and inherited from the parent
     superblock on an automount.

 (2) The cell list is made per-netns.  It can be viewed through
     /proc/net/afs/cells and also be modified by writing commands to that
     file.

 (3) The local workstation cell is set per-ns in /proc/net/afs/rootcell.
     This is unset by default.

 (4) The 'rootcell' module parameter, which sets a cell and VL server list
     modifies the init net namespace, thereby allowing an AFS root fs to be
     theoretically used.

 (5) The volume location lists and the file lock manager are made
     per-netns.

 (6) The AF_RXRPC socket and associated I/O bits are made per-ns.

The various workqueues remain global for the moment.

Changes still to be made:

 (1) /proc/fs/afs/ should be moved to /proc/net/afs/ and a symlink emplaced
     from the old name.

 (2) A per-netns subsys needs to be registered for AFS into which it can
     store its per-netns data.

 (3) Rather than the AF_RXRPC socket being opened on module init, it needs
     to be opened on the creation of a superblock in that netns.

 (4) The socket needs to be closed when the last superblock using it is
     destroyed and all outstanding client calls on it have been completed.
     This prevents a reference loop on the namespace.

 (5) It is possible that several namespaces will want to use AFS, in which
     case each one will need its own UDP port.  These can either be set
     through /proc/net/afs/cm_port or the kernel can pick one at random.
     The init_ns gets 7001 by default.

Other issues that need resolving:

 (1) The DNS keyring needs net-namespacing.

 (2) Where do upcalls go (eg. DNS request-key upcall)?

 (3) Need something like open_socket_in_file_ns() syscall so that AFS
     command line tools attempting to operate on an AFS file/volume have
     their RPC calls go to the right place.

<title>License cleanup: add SPDX license identifier to uapi header files with no license</title>

<content type='text'>
Many user space API headers are missing licensing information, which
makes it hard for compliance tools to determine the correct license.

By default are files without license information under the default
license of the kernel, which is GPLV2.  Marking them GPLV2 would exclude
them from being included in non GPLV2 code, which is obviously not
intended. The user space API headers fall under the syscall exception
which is in the kernels COPYING file:

   NOTE! This copyright does *not* cover user programs that use kernel
   services by normal system calls - this is merely considered normal use
   of the kernel, and does *not* fall under the heading of "derived work".

otherwise syscall usage would not be possible.

Update the files which contain no license information with an SPDX
license identifier.  The chosen identifier is 'GPL-2.0 WITH
Linux-syscall-note' which is the officially assigned identifier for the
Linux syscall exception.  SPDX license identifiers are a legally binding
shorthand, which can be used instead of the full boiler plate text.

This patch is based on work done by Thomas Gleixner and Kate Stewart and
Philippe Ombredanne.  See the previous patch in this series for the
methodology of how this patch was researched.
