Add #include <linux/cred.h> dependencies to all .c files rely on sched.h
doing that for them.
Note that even if the count where we need to add extra headers seems high,
it's still a net win, because <linux/sched.h> is included in over
2,200 files ...

We already have the helper, we can convert the rest of the kernel
mechanically using:
git grep -l 'atomic_inc_not_zero.*mm_users' | xargs sed -i 's/atomic_inc_not_zero(&\(.*\)->mm_users)/mmget_not_zero\(\1\)/'
This is needed for a later patch that hooks into the helper, but might
be a worthwhile cleanup on its own.

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).

Previously, the hidepid parameter was checked by comparing literal
integers 0, 1, 2. Let's add a proper enum for this, to make the
checking more expressive:
0 → HIDEPID_OFF
1 → HIDEPID_NO_ACCESS
2 → HIDEPID_INVISIBLE
This changes the internal labelling only, the userspace-facing interface
remains unmodified, and still works with literal integers 0, 1, 2.
No functional changes.

When a non-cooperative userfaultfd monitor copies pages in the
background, it may encounter regions that were already unmapped.
Addition of UFFD_EVENT_UNMAP allows the uffd monitor to track precisely
changes in the virtual memory layout.
Since there might be different uffd contexts for the affected VMAs, we
first should create a temporary representation for the unmap event for
each uffd context and then notify them one by one to the appropriate
userfault file descriptors.
The event notification occurs after the mmap_sem has been released.

git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/ebiederm/user-namespace
Pull namespace updates from Eric Biederman:
"There is a lot here. A lot of these changes result in subtle user
visible differences in kernel behavior. I don't expect anything will
care but I will revert/fix things immediately if any regressions show
up.
From Seth Forshee there is a continuation of the work to make the vfs
ready for unpriviled mounts. We had thought the previous changes
prevented the creation of files outside of s_user_ns of a filesystem,
but it turns we missed the O_CREAT path. Ooops.
Pavel Tikhomirov and Oleg Nesterov worked together to fix a long
standing bug in the implemenation of PR_SET_CHILD_SUBREAPER where only
children that are forked after the prctl are considered and not
children forked before the prctl. The only known user of this prctl
systemd forks all children after the prctl. So no userspace
regressions will occur. Holding earlier forked children to the same
rules as later forked children creates a semantic that is sane enough
to allow checkpoing of processes that use this feature.
There is a long delayed change by Nikolay Borisov to limit inotify
instances inside a user namespace.
Michael Kerrisk extends the API for files used to maniuplate
namespaces with two new trivial ioctls to allow discovery of the
hierachy and properties of namespaces.
Konstantin Khlebnikov with the help of Al Viro adds code that when a
network namespace exits purges it's sysctl entries from the dcache. As
in some circumstances this could use a lot of memory.
Vivek Goyal fixed a bug with stacked filesystems where the permissions
on the wrong inode were being checked.
I continue previous work on ptracing across exec. Allowing a file to
be setuid across exec while being ptraced if the tracer has enough
credentials in the user namespace, and if the process has CAP_SETUID
in it's own namespace. Proc files for setuid or otherwise undumpable
executables are now owned by the root in the user namespace of their
mm. Allowing debugging of setuid applications in containers to work
better.
A bug I introduced with permission checking and automount is now
fixed. The big change is to mark the mounts that the kernel initiates
as a result of an automount. This allows the permission checks in sget
to be safely suppressed for this kind of mount. As the permission
check happened when the original filesystem was mounted.
Finally a special case in the mount namespace is removed preventing
unbounded chains in the mount hash table, and making the semantics
simpler which benefits CRIU.
The vfs fix along with related work in ima and evm I believe makes us
ready to finish developing and merge fully unprivileged mounts of the
fuse filesystem. The cleanups of the mount namespace makes discussing
how to fix the worst case complexity of umount. The stacked filesystem
fixes pave the way for adding multiple mappings for the filesystem
uids so that efficient and safer containers can be implemented"
* 'for-linus' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/ebiederm/user-namespace:
proc/sysctl: Don't grab i_lock under sysctl_lock.
vfs: Use upper filesystem inode in bprm_fill_uid()
proc/sysctl: prune stale dentries during unregistering
mnt: Tuck mounts under others instead of creating shadow/side mounts.
prctl: propagate has_child_subreaper flag to every descendant
introduce the walk_process_tree() helper
nsfs: Add an ioctl() to return owner UID of a userns
fs: Better permission checking for submounts
exit: fix the setns() && PR_SET_CHILD_SUBREAPER interaction
vfs: open() with O_CREAT should not create inodes with unknown ids
nsfs: Add an ioctl() to return the namespace type
proc: Better ownership of files for non-dumpable tasks in user namespaces
exec: Remove LSM_UNSAFE_PTRACE_CAP
exec: Test the ptracer's saved cred to see if the tracee can gain caps
exec: Don't reset euid and egid when the tracee has CAP_SETUID
inotify: Convert to using per-namespace limits

"The main changes in this (fairly busy) cycle were:
- There was a class of scheduler bugs related to forgetting to update
the rq-clock timestamp which can cause weird and hard to debug
problems, so there's a new debug facility for this: which uncovered
a whole lot of bugs which convinced us that we want to keep the
debug facility.
(Peter Zijlstra, Matt Fleming)
- Various cputime related updates: eliminate cputime and use u64
nanoseconds directly, simplify and improve the arch interfaces,
implement delayed accounting more widely, etc. - (Frederic
Weisbecker)
- Move code around for better structure plus cleanups (Ingo Molnar)
- Move IO schedule accounting deeper into the scheduler plus related
changes to improve the situation (Tejun Heo)
- ... plus a round of sched/rt and sched/deadline fixes, plus other
fixes, updats and cleanups"

Currently unregistering sysctl table does not prune its dentries.
Stale dentries could slowdown sysctl operations significantly.
For example, command:
# for i in {1..100000} ; do unshare -n -- sysctl -a &> /dev/null ; done
creates a millions of stale denties around sysctls of loopback interface:
# sysctl fs.dentry-state
fs.dentry-state = 25812579 24724135 45 0 0 0
All of them have matching names thus lookup have to scan though whole
hash chain and call d_compare (proc_sys_compare) which checks them
under system-wide spinlock (sysctl_lock).
# time sysctl -a > /dev/null
real 1m12.806s
user 0m0.016s
sys 1m12.400s
Currently only memory reclaimer could remove this garbage.
But without significant memory pressure this never happens.
This patch collects sysctl inodes into list on sysctl table header and
prunes all their dentries once that table unregisters.

Commit 6326fec1122c ("mm: Use owner_priv bit for PageSwapCache, valid
when PageSwapBacked") aliased PG_swapcache to PG_owner_priv_1 (and
depending on PageSwapBacked being true).
As a result, the KPF_SWAPCACHE bit in '/proc/kpageflags' should now be
synthesized, instead of being shown on unrelated pages which just happen
to have PG_owner_priv_1 set.

Now that most cputime readers use the transition API which return the
task cputime in old style cputime_t, we can safely store the cputime in
nsecs. This will eventually make cputime statistics less opaque and more
granular. Back and forth convertions between cputime_t and nsecs in order
to deal with cputime_t random granularity won't be needed anymore.

Kernel CPU stats are stored in cputime_t which is an architecture
defined type, and hence a bit opaque and requiring accessors and mutators
for any operation.
Converting them to nsecs simplifies the code and is one step toward
the removal of cputime_t in the core code.

One cgroup maintainer mentioned that "cgroup is trying to offline
a cpuset css, which takes place under cgroup_mutex. The offlining
ends up trying to drain active usages of a sysctl table which apprently
is not happening."
The real reason is that proc_sys_readdir doesn't drop reference added
by grab_header when return from !dir_emit_dots path. So this cpuset
offline path will wait here forever.

Processes can only alter their own security attributes via
/proc/pid/attr nodes. This is presently enforced by each individual
security module and is also imposed by the Linux credentials
implementation, which only allows a task to alter its own credentials.
Move the check enforcing this restriction from the individual
security modules to proc_pid_attr_write() before calling the security hook,
and drop the unnecessary task argument to the security hook since it can
only ever be the current task.

Pull audit updates from Paul Moore:
"After the small number of patches for v4.9, we've got a much bigger
pile for v4.10.
The bulk of these patches involve a rework of the audit backlog queue
to enable us to move the netlink multicasting out of the task/thread
that generates the audit record and into the kernel thread that emits
the record (just like we do for the audit unicast to auditd).
While we were playing with the backlog queue(s) we fixed a number of
other little problems with the code, and from all the testing so far
things look to be in much better shape now. Doing this also allowed us
to re-enable disabling IRQs for some netns operations ("netns: avoid
disabling irq for netns id").
The remaining patches fix some small problems that are well documented
in the commit descriptions, as well as adding session ID filtering
support"

format_decode and vsnprintf occasionally show up in perf top, so I went
looking for places that might not need the full printf power. With the
help of kprobes, I gathered some statistics on which format strings we
mostly pass to vsnprintf. On a trivial desktop workload, I hit "%x" 25%
of the time, so something apparently reads /proc/pid/status (which does
5*16 printf("%x") calls) a lot.
With this patch, reading /proc/pid/status is 30% faster according to
this microbenchmark:
char buf[4096];
int i, fd;
for (i = 0; i < 10000; ++i) {
fd = open("/proc/self/status", O_RDONLY);
read(fd, buf, sizeof(buf));
close(fd);
}

kzalloc is too much, half of the fields will be reinitialized anyway.
If proc file doesn't have ->release hook (some still do not), clearing
is unnecessary because it will be freed immediately.

Linux doesn't support 4GB+ filenames in /proc, so unsigned long is too
much.
MOV r64, r/m64 is larger than MOV r32, r/m32.
