/* Background. */
For a very long time, extending openat(2) with new features has been
incredibly frustrating. This stems from the fact that openat(2) is
possibly the most famous counter-example to the mantra "don't silently
accept garbage from userspace" -- it doesn't check whether unknown flags
are present[1].
This means that (generally) the addition of new flags to openat(2) has
been fraught with backwards-compatibility issues (O_TMPFILE has to be
defined as __O_TMPFILE|O_DIRECTORY|[O_RDWR or O_WRONLY] to ensure old
kernels gave errors, since it's insecure to silently ignore the
flag[2]). All new security-related flags therefore have a tough road to
being added to openat(2).
Userspace also has a hard time figuring out whether a particular flag is
supported on a particular kernel. While it is now possible with
contemporary kernels (thanks to [3]), older kernels will expose unknown
flag bits through fcntl(F_GETFL). Giving a clear -EINVAL during
openat(2) time matches modern syscall designs and is far more
fool-proof.
In addition, the newly-added path resolution restriction LOOKUP flags
(which we would like to expose to user-space) don't feel related to the
pre-existing O_* flag set -- they affect all components of path lookup.
We'd therefore like to add a new flag argument.
Adding a new syscall allows us to finally fix the flag-ignoring problem,
and we can make it extensible enough so that we will hopefully never
need an openat3(2).
/* Syscall Prototype. */
/*
* open_how is an extensible structure (similar in interface to
* clone3(2) or sched_setattr(2)). The size parameter must be set to
* sizeof(struct open_how), to allow for future extensions. All future
* extensions will be appended to open_how, with their zero value
* acting as a no-op default.
*/
struct open_how { /* ... */ };
int openat2(int dfd, const char *pathname,
struct open_how *how, size_t size);
/* Description. */
The initial version of 'struct open_how' contains the following fields:
flags
Used to specify openat(2)-style flags. However, any unknown flag
bits or otherwise incorrect flag combinations (like O_PATH|O_RDWR)
will result in -EINVAL. In addition, this field is 64-bits wide to
allow for more O_ flags than currently permitted with openat(2).
mode
The file mode for O_CREAT or O_TMPFILE.
Must be set to zero if flags does not contain O_CREAT or O_TMPFILE.
resolve
Restrict path resolution (in contrast to O_* flags they affect all
path components). The current set of flags are as follows (at the
moment, all of the RESOLVE_ flags are implemented as just passing
the corresponding LOOKUP_ flag).
RESOLVE_NO_XDEV => LOOKUP_NO_XDEV
RESOLVE_NO_SYMLINKS => LOOKUP_NO_SYMLINKS
RESOLVE_NO_MAGICLINKS => LOOKUP_NO_MAGICLINKS
RESOLVE_BENEATH => LOOKUP_BENEATH
RESOLVE_IN_ROOT => LOOKUP_IN_ROOT
open_how does not contain an embedded size field, because it is of
little benefit (userspace can figure out the kernel open_how size at
runtime fairly easily without it). It also only contains u64s (even
though ->mode arguably should be a u16) to avoid having padding fields
which are never used in the future.
Note that as a result of the new how->flags handling, O_PATH|O_TMPFILE
is no longer permitted for openat(2). As far as I can tell, this has
always been a bug and appears to not be used by userspace (and I've not
seen any problems on my machines by disallowing it). If it turns out
this breaks something, we can special-case it and only permit it for
openat(2) but not openat2(2).
After input from Florian Weimer, the new open_how and flag definitions
are inside a separate header from uapi/linux/fcntl.h, to avoid problems
that glibc has with importing that header.
/* Testing. */
In a follow-up patch there are over 200 selftests which ensure that this
syscall has the correct semantics and will correctly handle several
attack scenarios.
In addition, I've written a userspace library[4] which provides
convenient wrappers around openat2(RESOLVE_IN_ROOT) (this is necessary
because no other syscalls support RESOLVE_IN_ROOT, and thus lots of care
must be taken when using RESOLVE_IN_ROOT'd file descriptors with other
syscalls). During the development of this patch, I've run numerous
verification tests using libpathrs (showing that the API is reasonably
usable by userspace).
/* Future Work. */
Additional RESOLVE_ flags have been suggested during the review period.
These can be easily implemented separately (such as blocking auto-mount
during resolution).
Furthermore, there are some other proposed changes to the openat(2)
interface (the most obvious example is magic-link hardening[5]) which
would be a good opportunity to add a way for userspace to restrict how
O_PATH file descriptors can be re-opened.
Another possible avenue of future work would be some kind of
CHECK_FIELDS[6] flag which causes the kernel to indicate to userspace
which openat2(2) flags and fields are supported by the current kernel
(to avoid userspace having to go through several guesses to figure it
out).

Pull char/misc driver updates from Greg KH:
"Here is the big char/misc driver patch pull request for 5.1-rc1.
The largest thing by far is the new habanalabs driver for their AI
accelerator chip. For now it is in the drivers/misc directory but will
probably move to a new directory soon along with other drivers of this
type.
Other than that, just the usual set of individual driver updates and
fixes. There's an "odd" merge in here from the DRM tree that they
asked me to do as the MEI driver is starting to interact with the i915
driver, and it needed some coordination. All of those patches have
been properly acked by the relevant subsystem maintainers.
All of these have been in linux-next with no reported issues, most for

This patch drops support for AVR32 architecture from the Linux kernel.
The AVR32 architecture is not keeping up with the development of the
kernel, and since it shares so much of the drivers with Atmel ARM SoC,
it is starting to hinder these drivers to develop swiftly.
Also, all AVR32 AP7 SoC processors are end of lifed from Atmel (now
Microchip).
Finally, the GCC toolchain is stuck at version 4.2.x, and has not
received any patches since the last release from Atmel;
4.2.4-atmel.1.1.3.avr32linux.1. When building kernel v4.10, this
toolchain is no longer able to properly link the network stack.
Haavard and I have came to the conclusion that we feel keeping AVR32 on
life support offers more obstacles for Atmel ARMs, than it gives joy to
AVR32 users. I also suspect there are very few AVR32 users left today,
if anybody at all.

Pull x86 microcode update from Ingo Molnar:
"The biggest change (by Borislav Petkov) is a thorough rewrite of the
Intel microcode loader and its interactions with the core code.
The biggest conceptual change is the decoupling of the microcode
loading on boot and application processors (which load the microcode
in different scenarios), so that both parse the input patches with as
few assumptions as possible - this also fixes various kernel address
space randomization bugs. (The AP side then goes on and caches the
result to improve boot performance.)
Since the AMD side already did this, this change also opened up the
path towards more unification/simplification of the core microcode
loading infrastructure:

We had to say goodbye when Hans passed away recently. Hans was a
free-software enthusiast and an active contributor. He was the main author
and maintainer of the UIO subsystem and contributed in various ways to the
Linux kernel as a professional and hobbyist. He is greatly missed.

For the third time in three years, I'm changing my e-mail at Samsung.
That's bad, as it may stop communications with me for a while. So, this
time, I'll also add the mchehab@kernel.org e-mail, as it remains stable
since ever.

Alan is no longer maintaining this list through the Linux assigned
numbers authority. Make it a collective document by referring to
"the maintainers" in plural throughout, and naming the chardev and
block layer maintainers in particular as parties of involvement.
Cut down and remove some sections that pertained to the process of
maintaining the list at lanana.org and contacting Alan directly.
Make it clear that this document, in the kernel, is the master
document.
Also move paragraphs around so as to emphasize dynamic major number
allocation.
Remove paragraph on 2.6 deprecation, that tag no longer appears
anywhere in the file.

git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/jic23/iio into staging-next
Jonathan writes:
First round of new IIO device support, features and cleanups for the 4.6 cycle.
Device Support
* ad5761
- new driver
* at91_sama5d2 ADC.

* atlas pH-SM
- new driver (this has possibly the prettiest data sheet I've ever seen)
* mcp3422
- mcp3425 ADC added.
* mcp4725
- mcp4726 DAC added.
* mma8452
- mma8451q accelerometer added.
* mpl115
- mpl115a1 added (a lot bigger than it seems as this is an SPI part whereas
previous parts were i2c).
* si7005
- Hoperf th02 (seems to be a repackaged part)
* si7020
- Hoperf th06 (seems to be a repackaged part)
New features
* Core
- IIO_PH type. Does what it says on the tin.
* max30100
- LED current configuration support.
* mcp320x
- more differential measurement combinations.
* mma8452
- free fall deteciton
- opt3001
- enable operation without a IRQ line.
- device tree docs. Somehow the original docs have disappeared down
a rabbit hole, so here is a new set.
* st-sensors
- Support active-low interrupts.
Cleanups and minor / not so minor reworks
* Documentation
- drop some defunct ABI from the docs in staging.
* presure / Kconfig
- white space cleanup.
* ad7150
- BIT macro usage
- Alignment fixes
* ad7192
- false indent fixed.
* ak8975
- constify the ak_def structures
* axp288
- drop a redundant double const.
* dht11
- substantial reliability improvements by being more tolerant
of missing start bits.
- simplify the decoding algorithm
* mma8452
- whitespace cleanup
* mpl115
- don't bother setting i2c_client_data as nothing uses it.
* mpu6050
- drop unused function parameter.
* opt3001
- extract integration time as constants.
- trivial refactoring.

ad5761 is a 1-channel DAC with configurable output range.
The driver uses the regulator interface for its voltage ref.
It shares its register layout with ad5761r, ad5721 and ad5721r.
Differences:
ad5761* are 16 bit, ad5721* are 12 bits.
ad57*1r have an internal reference.

git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/linusw/linux-pinctrl
Pull pin control updates from Linus Walleij:
"This is the bulk of pin control changes for the v4.3 development
cycle.
Like with GPIO it's a lot of stuff. If my subsystems are any sign of
the overall tempo of the kernel v4.3 will be a gigantic diff.
[ It looks like 4.3 is calmer than 4.2 in most other subsystems, but
we'll see - Linus ]
Core changes:
- It is possible configure groups in debugfs.
- Consolidation of chained IRQ handler install/remove replacing all
call sites where irq_set_handler_data() and
irq_set_chained_handler() were done in succession with a combined
call to irq_set_chained_handler_and_data(). This series was
created by Thomas Gleixner after the problem was observed by
Russell King.
- Tglx also made another series of patches switching
__irq_set_handler_locked() for irq_set_handler_locked() which is
way cleaner.
- Tglx also wrote a good bunch of patches to make use of
irq_desc_get_xxx() accessors and avoid looking up irq_descs from
IRQ numbers. The goal is to get rid of the irq number from the
handlers in the IRQ flow which is nice.
Driver feature enhancements:
- Power management support for the SiRF SoC Atlas 7.
- Power down support for the Qualcomm driver.
- Intel Cherryview and Baytrail: switch drivers to use raw spinlocks
in IRQ handlers to play nice with the realtime patch set.
- Rework and new modes handling for Qualcomm SPMI-MPP.
- Pinconf power source config for SH PFC.
New drivers and subdrivers:
- A new driver for Conexant Digicolor CX92755.
- A new driver for UniPhier PH1-LD4, PH1-Pro4, PH1-sLD8, PH1-Pro5,
ProXtream2 and PH1-LD6b SoC pin control support.
- Reverse-egineered the S/PDIF settings for the Allwinner sun4i
driver.
- Support for Qualcomm Technologies QDF2xxx ARM64 SoCs
- A new Freescale i.mx6ul subdriver.
Cleanup:
- Remove platform data support in a number of SH PFC subdrivers"
