CONFIG_PROVE_RCU_LIST requires list_for_each_entry_rcu() to pass a lockdep
expression if using srcu or locking for protection.  It can only check
regular RCU protection, all other protection needs to be passed as lockdep
expression.

<title>ipc/mqueue: improve exception handling in do_mq_notify()</title>

<content type='text'>
Null pointers were assigned to local variables in a few cases as exception
handling.  The jump target “out” was used where no meaningful data
processing actions should eventually be performed by branches of an if
statement then.  Use an additional jump target for calling dev_kfree_skb()
directly.

Return also directly after error conditions were detected when no extra
clean-up is needed by this function implementation.

dev_kfree_skb() input parameter validation, thus the test around the call
is not needed.

This issue was detected by using the Coccinelle software.

<title>ipc: fix sparc64 ipc() wrapper</title>

<id>urn:sha1:fb377eb80c80339b580831a3c0fcce34a4c9d1ad</id>
<content type='text'>
Matt bisected a sparc64 specific issue with semctl, shmctl and msgctl
to a commit from my y2038 series in linux-5.1, as I missed the custom
sys_ipc() wrapper that sparc64 uses in place of the generic version that
I patched.

The problem is that the sys_{sem,shm,msg}ctl() functions in the kernel
now do not allow being called with the IPC_64 flag any more, resulting
in a -EINVAL error when they don't recognize the command.

Instead, the correct way to do this now is to call the internal
ksys_old_{sem,shm,msg}ctl() functions to select the API version.

As we generally move towards these functions anyway, change all of
sparc_ipc() to consistently use those in place of the sys_*() versions,
and move the required ksys_*() declarations into linux/syscalls.h

The IS_ENABLED(CONFIG_SYSVIPC) check is required to avoid link
errors when ipc is disabled.

<title>proc/sysctl: add shared variables for range check</title>

<id>urn:sha1:eec4844fae7c033a0c1fc1eb3b8517aeb8b6cc49</id>
<content type='text'>
In the sysctl code the proc_dointvec_minmax() function is often used to
validate the user supplied value between an allowed range.  This
function uses the extra1 and extra2 members from struct ctl_table as
minimum and maximum allowed value.

On sysctl handler declaration, in every source file there are some
readonly variables containing just an integer which address is assigned
to the extra1 and extra2 members, so the sysctl range is enforced.

The special values 0, 1 and INT_MAX are very often used as range
boundary, leading duplication of variables like zero=0, one=1,
int_max=INT_MAX in different source files:

    $ git grep -E '\.extra[12].*&amp;(zero|one|int_max)' |wc -l
    248

Add a const int array containing the most commonly used values, some
macros to refer more easily to the correct array member, and use them
instead of creating a local one for every object file.

This is the bloat-o-meter output comparing the old and new binary
compiled with the default Fedora config:

Andreas Christoforou reported:

  UBSAN: Undefined behaviour in ipc/mqueue.c:414:49 signed integer overflow:
  9 * 2305843009213693951 cannot be represented in type 'long int'
  ...
  Call Trace:
    mqueue_evict_inode+0x8e7/0xa10 ipc/mqueue.c:414
    evict+0x472/0x8c0 fs/inode.c:558

    prepare_open ipc/mqueue.c:731 [inline]
    do_mq_open+0x6da/0x8e0 ipc/mqueue.c:771

Which could be triggered by:

        struct mq_attr attr = {
                .mq_flags = 0,
                .mq_maxmsg = 9,
                .mq_msgsize = 0x1fffffffffffffff,
                .mq_curmsgs = 0,
        };

        if (mq_open("/testing", 0x40, 3, &amp;attr) == (mqd_t) -1)
                perror("mq_open");

mqueue_get_inode() was correctly rejecting the giant mq_msgsize, and
preparing to return -EINVAL.  During the cleanup, it calls
mqueue_evict_inode() which performed resource usage tracking math for
updating "user", before checking if there was a valid "user" at all
(which would indicate that the calculations would be sane).  Instead,
delay this check to after seeing a valid "user".

The overflow was real, but the results went unused, so while the flaw is
harmless, it's noisy for kernel fuzzers, so just fix it by moving the
calculation under the non-NULL "user" where it actually gets used.
