sysctl: Fix data-races in proc_dou8vec_minmax().

2023-04-20T10:10:29Z

commit 7dee5d7747a69aa2be41f04c6a7ecfe3ac8cdf18 upstream. A sysctl variable is accessed concurrently, and there is always a chance of data-race. So, all readers and writers need some basic protection to avoid load/store-tearing. This patch changes proc_dou8vec_minmax() to use READ_ONCE() and WRITE_ONCE() internally to fix data-races on the sysctl side. For now, proc_dou8vec_minmax() itself is tolerant to a data-race, but we still need to add annotations on the other subsystem's side.

sysctl: add proc_dou8vec_minmax()

2023-04-20T10:10:26Z

[ Upstream commit cb9444130662c6c13022579c861098f212db2562 ] Networking has many sysctls that could fit in one u8. This patch adds proc_dou8vec_minmax() for this purpose. Note that the .extra1 and .extra2 fields are pointing to integers, because it makes conversions easier. Signed-off-by: Eric Dumazet Signed-off-by: David S.

kernel/panic: move panic sysctls to its own file

2023-02-01T07:23:18Z

commit 9df918698408fd914493aba0b7858fef50eba63a upstream. kernel/sysctl.c is a kitchen sink where everyone leaves their dirty dishes, this makes it very difficult to maintain. To help with this maintenance let's start by moving sysctls to places where they actually belong. The proc sysctl maintainers do not want to know what sysctl knobs you wish to add for your own piece of code, we just care about the core logic. All filesystem syctls now get reviewed by fs folks. This commit follows the commit of fs, move the oops_all_cpu_backtrace sysctl to its own file, kernel/panic.c.

proc: proc_skip_spaces() shouldn't think it is working on C strings

2022-12-08T10:24:00Z

commit bce9332220bd677d83b19d21502776ad555a0e73 upstream. proc_skip_spaces() seems to think it is working on C strings, and ends up being just a wrapper around skip_spaces() with a really odd calling convention. Instead of basing it on skip_spaces(), it should have looked more like proc_skip_char(), which really is the exact same function (except it skips a particular character, rather than whitespace). So use that as inspiration, odd coding and all. Now the calling convention actually makes sense and works for the intended purpose.

proc: avoid integer type confusion in get_proc_long

2022-12-08T10:23:59Z

commit e6cfaf34be9fcd1a8285a294e18986bfc41a409c upstream. proc_get_long() is passed a size_t, but then assigns it to an 'int' variable for the length. Let's not do that, even if our IO paths are limited to MAX_RW_COUNT (exactly because of these kinds of type errors). So do the proper test in the rigth type.

mm: sysctl: fix missing numa_stat when !CONFIG_HUGETLB_PAGE

2022-07-21T19:20:13Z

[ Upstream commit 43b5240ca6b33108998810593248186b1e3ae34a ] "numa_stat" should not be included in the scope of CONFIG_HUGETLB_PAGE, if CONFIG_HUGETLB_PAGE is not configured even if CONFIG_NUMA is configured, "numa_stat" is missed form /proc. Move it out of CONFIG_HUGETLB_PAGE to fix it.
