I found some instances for "an userfaultfd", but I did not add it to the

"userland" etc., so must draw a line somewhere.

Commit 50bed2e2862a ("sg: disable interrupts inside sg_copy_buffer")
introduced disabling interrupts in sg_copy_buffer() since atomic uses of
miter required it due to use of kmap_atomic().
However, as commit 8290e2d2dcbf ("scatterlist: atomic sg_mapping_iter()
no longer needs disabled IRQs") acknowledges disabling interrupts is no
longer needed for calls to kmap_atomic() and therefore unneeded for
miter ops either, so remove it from sg_copy_buffer().

The issue is described here, with a nice testcase:
https://bugzilla.kernel.org/show_bug.cgi?id=192931
The problem is that shmat() calls do_mmap_pgoff() with MAP_FIXED, and
the address rounded down to 0. For the regular mmap case, the
protection mentioned above is that the kernel gets to generate the
address -- arch_get_unmapped_area() will always check for MAP_FIXED and
return that address. So by the time we do security_mmap_addr(0) things
get funky for shmat().
The testcase itself shows that while a regular user crashes, root will
not have a problem attaching a nil-page. There are two possible fixes
to this. The first, and which this patch does, is to simply allow root
to crash as well -- this is also regular mmap behavior, ie when hacking
up the testcase and adding mmap(... |MAP_FIXED). While this approach
is the safer option, the second alternative is to ignore SHM_RND if the
rounded address is 0, thus only having MAP_SHARED flags. This makes the
behavior of shmat() identical to the mmap() case. The downside of this
is obviously user visible, but does make sense in that it maintains
semantics after the round-down wrt 0 address and mmap.
Passes shm related ltp tests.

sysv sem has two lock modes: One with per-semaphore locks, one lock mode
with a single global lock for the whole array. When switching from the
per-semaphore locks to the global lock, all per-semaphore locks must be
scanned for ongoing operations.
The patch adds a hysteresis for switching from the global lock to the
per semaphore locks. This reduces how often the per-semaphore locks
must be scanned.
Compared to the initial patch, this is a simplified solution: Setting
USE_GLOBAL_LOCK_HYSTERESIS to 1 restores the current behavior.
In theory, a workload with exactly 10 simple sops and then one complex
op now scales a bit worse, but this is pure theory: If there is
concurrency, the it won't be exactly 10:1:10:1:10:1:... If there is no
concurrency, then there is no need for scalability.

a) The ACQUIRE in spin_lock() applies to the read, not to the store, at
least for powerpc. This forces to add a smp_mb() into the fast path.
b) The memory barrier provided by spin_unlock_wait() is right now arch
dependent.
Therefore: Use spin_lock()/spin_unlock() instead of spin_unlock_wait().
Advantage: faster single op semop calls(), observed +8.9% on x86. (the
other solution would be arch dependencies in ipc/sem).
Disadvantage: slower complex op semop calls, if (and only if) there are
no sleeping operations.
The next patch adds hysteresis, this further reduces the probability
that the slow path is used.

Commit 4a9d4b024a31 ("switch fput to task_work_add") implements a
schedule_work() for completing fput(), but did not guarantee calling
__fput() after unpacking initramfs. Because of this, there is a
possibility that during boot a driver can see ETXTBSY when it tries to
load a binary from initramfs as fput() is still pending on that binary.
This patch makes sure that fput() is completed after unpacking initramfs
and removes the call to flush_delayed_fput() in kernel_init() which
happens very late after unpacking initramfs.

The aio interface adds substantial attack surface for a feature that's
not being exposed by Android at all. It's unlikely that anyone is using
the kernel feature directly either. This feature is rarely used even on
servers. The glibc POSIX aio calls really use thread pools. The lack
of widespread usage also means this is relatively poorly audited/tested.
The kernel's aio rarely provides performance benefits over using a
thread pool and is quite incomplete in terms of system call coverage
along with having edge cases where blocking can occur. Part of the
performance issue is the fact that it only supports direct io, not
buffered io. The existing API is considered fundamentally flawed and
it's unlikely it will be expanded, but rather replaced:

Since ext4 encryption means no direct io support, kernel aio isn't even
going to work properly on Android devices using file-based encryption.

In case if epoll_ctl is called with operation EPOLL_CTL_DEL then
@epds.events variable allocated on stack may contain random bits which
we test then for EPOLLEXCLUSIVE. Since currently the test look like
if (epds.events & EPOLLEXCLUSIVE) {
if (op == EPOLL_CTL_MOD)
goto error_tgt_fput;
if (op == EPOLL_CTL_ADD && (is_file_epoll(tf.file) ||
(epds.events & ~EPOLLEXCLUSIVE_OK_BITS)))
goto error_tgt_fput;
}
Nothing serious will happen even if epds.events has this bit set, still
better to be on safe side and make sure that we're to test this bit at
all.

while_each_pid_thread() is using while_each_thread(), which is unsafe
under RCU lock according to commit 0c740d0afc3b ("introduce
for_each_thread() to replace the buggy while_each_thread()"). Use
for_each_thread() in do_each_pid_thread() which is safe under RCU lock.

Currently all the p_paddr of PT_LOAD headers are assigned to 0, which is
not true and could be misleading, since 0 is a valid physical address.
User space tools like makedumpfile needs to know physical address for
PT_LOAD segments of direct mapped regions. Therefore this patch updates
paddr for such regions. It also sets an invalid paddr (-1) for other
regions, so that user space tool can know whether a physical address
provided in PT_LOAD is correct or not.
I do not know why it was 0, which is a valid physical address. But
certainly, it might break some user space tools, and those need to be
fixed. For example, see following code from kexec-tools
kexec/kexec-elf.c:build_mem_phdrs()
if ((phdr->p_paddr + phdr->p_memsz) < phdr->p_paddr) {
/* The memory address wraps */
if (probe_debug) {
fprintf(stderr, "ELF address wrap around\n");
}
return -1;
}
We do not need to perform above check for an invalid physical address.
I think, kexec-tools and makedumpfile will need fixup. I already have
those fixup which will be sent upstream once this patch makes through.
Pro with this approach is that, it will help to calculate variable like
page_offset, phys_base from PT_LOAD even when they are randomized and
therefore will reduce many variable and version specific values in user
space tools.
Having an ASLR offset information can help to translate an identity
mapped virtual address to a physical address. But that would be an
additional field in PT_LOAD header structure and an arch dependent
value.
Moreover, sending a valid physical address like 0 does not seem right.
So, IMHO it is better to fix that and send valid physical address when
available (identity mapped).
