With split ptlock it's important to know which lock
pmd_trans_huge_lock() took. This patch adds one more parameter to the
function to return the lock.
In most places migration to new api is trivial. Exception is
move_huge_pmd(): we need to take two locks if pmd tables are different.

mpol_to_str() should not fail. Currently, it either fails because the
string buffer is too small or because a string hasn't been defined for a
mempolicy mode.
If a new mempolicy mode is introduced and no string is defined for it,
just warn and return "unknown".
If the buffer is too small, just truncate the string and return, the
same behavior as snprintf().
This also fixes a bug where there was no NULL-byte termination when doing
*p++ = '=' and *p++ ':' and maxlen has been reached.

If a task has CAP_AUDIT_CONTROL allow that task to unset their loginuid.
This would allow a child of that task to set their loginuid without
CAP_AUDIT_CONTROL. Thus when launching a new login daemon, a
priviledged helper would be able to unset the loginuid and then the
daemon, which may be malicious user facing, do not need priv to function
correctly.

Commit c4fe24485729 ("sparc: fix PCI device proc file mmap(2)") added
proc_reg_get_unmapped_area in proc_reg_file_ops and
proc_reg_file_ops_no_compat, by which now mmap always returns EIO if
get_unmapped_area method is not defined for the target procfs file,
which causes regression of mmap on /proc/vmcore.
To address this issue, like get_unmapped_area(), call default
current->mm->get_unmapped_area on MMU-present architectures if
pde->proc_fops->get_unmapped_area, i.e. the one in actual file
operation in the procfs file, is not defined.

Currently, proc_reg_get_unmapped_area truncates upper 32-bit of the
mapped virtual address returned from get_unmapped_area method in
pde->proc_fops due to the variable rv of signed integer on x86_64. This
is too small to have vitual address of unsigned long on x86_64 since on
x86_64, signed integer is of 4 bytes while unsigned long is of 8 bytes.
To fix this issue, use unsigned long instead.

HAVE_ARCH_DEVTREE_FIXUPS appears to always be needed except for sparc,
but it is only used for /proc/device-teee and sparc does not enable
/proc/device-tree. So this option is redundant. Remove the option and
always enable it. This has the side effect of fixing /proc/device-tree
on arches such as arm64 which failed to define this option.

For zfcpdump we can't map the HSA storage because it is only available via
a read interface. Therefore, for the new vmcore mmap feature we have
introduce a new mechanism to create mappings on demand.
This patch introduces a new architecture function remap_oldmem_pfn_range()
that should be used to create mappings with remap_pfn_range() for oldmem
areas that can be directly mapped. For zfcpdump this is everything
besides of the HSA memory. For the areas that are not mapped by
remap_oldmem_pfn_range() a generic vmcore a new generic vmcore fault
handler mmap_vmcore_fault() is called.
This handler works as follows:
* Get already available or new page from page cache (find_or_create_page)
* Check if /proc/vmcore page is filled with data (PageUptodate)
* If yes:
Return that page
* If no:
Fill page using __vmcore_read(), set PageUptodate, and return page

For s390 we want to use /proc/vmcore for our SCSI stand-alone dump
(zfcpdump). We have support where the first HSA_SIZE bytes are saved into
a hypervisor owned memory area (HSA) before the kdump kernel is booted.
When the kdump kernel starts, it is restricted to use only HSA_SIZE bytes.
The advantages of this mechanism are:
* No crashkernel memory has to be defined in the old kernel.
* Early boot problems (before kexec_load has been done) can be dumped
* Non-Linux systems can be dumped.
We modify the s390 copy_oldmem_page() function to read from the HSA memory
if memory below HSA_SIZE bytes is requested.
Since we cannot use the kexec tool to load the kernel in this scenario,
we have to build the ELF header in the 2nd (kdump/new) kernel.
So with the following patch set we would like to introduce the new
function that the ELF header for /proc/vmcore can be created in the 2nd
kernel memory.
The following steps are done during zfcpdump execution:
1. Production system crashes
2. User boots a SCSI disk that has been prepared with the zfcpdump tool
3. Hypervisor saves CPU state of boot CPU and HSA_SIZE bytes of memory into HSA
4. Boot loader loads kernel into low memory area
5. Kernel boots and uses only HSA_SIZE bytes of memory
6. Kernel saves registers of non-boot CPUs
7. Kernel does memory detection for dump memory map
8. Kernel creates ELF header for /proc/vmcore
9. /proc/vmcore uses this header for initialization
10. The zfcpdump user space reads /proc/vmcore to write dump to SCSI disk
- copy_oldmem_page() copies from HSA for memory below HSA_SIZE
- copy_oldmem_page() copies from real memory for memory above HSA_SIZE
Currently for s390 we create the ELF core header in the 2nd kernel with a
small trick. We relocate the addresses in the ELF header in a way that
for the /proc/vmcore code it seems to be in the 1st kernel (old) memory
and the read_from_oldmem() returns the correct data. This allows the
/proc/vmcore code to use the ELF header in the 2nd kernel.
This patch:
Exchange the old mechanism with the new and much cleaner function call
override feature that now offcially allows to create the ELF core header
in the 2nd kernel.
To use the new feature the following function have to be defined
by the architecture backend code to read from new memory:
* elfcorehdr_alloc: Allocate ELF header
* elfcorehdr_free: Free the memory of the ELF header
* elfcorehdr_read: Read from ELF header
* elfcorehdr_read_notes: Read from ELF notes

proc_fd_permission() says "process can still access /proc/self/fd after it
has executed a setuid()", but the "task_pid() = proc_pid() check only
helps if the task is group leader, /proc/self points to
/proc/<leader-pid>.
Change this check to use task_tgid() so that the whole thread group can
access its /proc/self/fd or /proc/<tid-of-sub-thread>/fd.
Notes:
- CLONE_THREAD does not require CLONE_FILES so task->files
can differ, but I don't think this can lead to any security
problem. And this matches same_thread_group() in
__ptrace_may_access().
- /proc/self should probably point to /proc/<thread-tid>, but
it is too late to change the rules. Perhaps it makes sense
to add /proc/thread though.
Test-case:
void *tfunc(void *arg)
{
assert(opendir("/proc/self/fd"));
return NULL;
}
int main(void)
{
pthread_t t;
pthread_create(&t, NULL, tfunc, NULL);
pthread_join(t, NULL);
return 0;
}
fails if, say, this executable is not readable and suid_dumpable = 0.

Pavel reported that in case if vma area get unmapped and then mapped (or
expanded) in-place, the soft dirty tracker won't be able to recognize this
situation since it works on pte level and ptes are get zapped on unmap,
loosing soft dirty bit of course.
So to resolve this situation we need to track actions on vma level, there
VM_SOFTDIRTY flag comes in. When new vma area created (or old expanded)
we set this bit, and keep it here until application calls for clearing
soft dirty bit.
Thus when user space application track memory changes now it can detect if
vma area is renewed.

Rely on the fact that another flavor of the filesystem is already
mounted and do not rely on state in the user namespace.
Verify that the mounted filesystem is not covered in any significant
way. I would love to verify that the previously mounted filesystem
has no mounts on top but there are at least the directories
/proc/sys/fs/binfmt_misc and /sys/fs/cgroup/ that exist explicitly
for other filesystems to mount on top of.
Refactor the test into a function named fs_fully_visible and call that
function from the mount routines of proc and sysfs. This makes this
test local to the filesystems involved and the results current of when
the mounts take place, removing a weird threading of the user
namespace, the mount namespace and the filesystems themselves.

Don't allow mounting the proc filesystem unless the caller has
CAP_SYS_ADMIN rights over the pid namespace. The principle here is if
you create or have capabilities over it you can mount it, otherwise
you get to live with what other people have mounted.
Andy pointed out that this is needed to prevent users in a user
namespace from remounting proc and specifying different hidepid and gid
options on already existing proc mounts.

In the previous commit, Richard Genoud fixed proc_root_readdir(), which
had lost the check for whether all of the non-process /proc entries had
been returned or not.
But that in turn exposed _another_ bug, namely that the original readdir
conversion patch had yet another problem: it had lost the return value
of proc_readdir_de(), so now checking whether it had completed
successfully or not didn't actually work right anyway.
This reinstates the non-zero return for the "end of base entries" that
had also gotten lost in commit f0c3b5093add ("[readdir] convert
procfs"). So now you get all the base entries *and* you get all the
process entries, regardless of getdents buffer size.
(Side note: the Linux "getdents" manual page actually has a nice example
application for testing getdents, which can be easily modified to use
different buffers. Who knew? Man-pages can be useful)

Commit f0c3b5093add ("[readdir] convert procfs") introduced a bug on the
listing of the proc file-system. The return value of proc_readdir()
isn't tested anymore in the proc_root_readdir function.
This lead to an "interesting" behaviour when we are using the getdents()
system call with a buffer too small: instead of failing, it returns the
first entries of /proc (enough to fill the given buffer), plus the PID
directories.
This is not triggered on glibc (as getdents is called with a 32KB
buffer), but on uclibc, the buffer size is only 1KB, thus some proc
entries are missing.

Recently we met quite a lot of random kernel panic issues after enabling
CONFIG_PROC_PAGE_MONITOR. After debuggind we found this has something
to do with following bug in pagemap:
In struct pagemapread:
struct pagemapread {
int pos, len;
pagemap_entry_t *buffer;
bool v2;
};
pos is number of PM_ENTRY_BYTES in buffer, but len is the size of
buffer, it is a mistake to compare pos and len in add_page_map() for
checking buffer is full or not, and this can lead to buffer overflow and
random kernel panic issue.
Correct len to be total number of PM_ENTRY_BYTES in buffer.

Andy Lutomirski reported that if a page with _PAGE_SOFT_DIRTY bit set
get swapped out, the bit is getting lost and no longer available when
pte read back.
To resolve this we introduce _PTE_SWP_SOFT_DIRTY bit which is saved in
pte entry for the page being swapped out. When such page is to be read
back from a swap cache we check for bit presence and if it's there we
clear it and restore the former _PAGE_SOFT_DIRTY bit back.
One of the problem was to find a place in pte entry where we can save
the _PTE_SWP_SOFT_DIRTY bit while page is in swap. The _PAGE_PSE was
chosen for that, it doesn't intersect with swap entry format stored in
pte.

This patch introduces mmap_vmcore().
Don't permit writable nor executable mapping even with mprotect()
because this mmap() is aimed at reading crash dump memory. Non-writable
mapping is also requirement of remap_pfn_range() when mapping linear
pages on non-consecutive physical pages; see is_cow_mapping().
Set VM_MIXEDMAP flag to remap memory by remap_pfn_range and by
remap_vmalloc_range_pertial at the same time for a single vma.
do_munmap() can correctly clean partially remapped vma with two
functions in abnormal case. See zap_pte_range(), vm_normal_page() and
their comments for details.
On x86-32 PAE kernels, mmap() supports at most 16TB memory only. This
limitation comes from the fact that the third argument of
remap_pfn_range(), pfn, is of 32-bit length on x86-32: unsigned long.

objects
The previous patches newly added holes before each chunk of memory and
the holes need to be count in vmcore file size. There are two ways to
count file size in such a way:
1) suppose m is a poitner to the last vmcore object in vmcore_list.
Then file size is (m->offset + m->size), or
2) calculate sum of size of buffers for ELF header, program headers,
ELF note segments and objects in vmcore_list.
Although 1) is more direct and simpler than 2), 2) seems better in that
it reflects internal object structure of /proc/vmcore. Thus, this patch
changes get_vmcore_size_elf{64, 32} so that it calculates size in the
way of 2).
As a result, both get_vmcore_size_elf{64, 32} have the same definition.
Merge them as get_vmcore_size.

The reasons why we don't allocate ELF note segment in the 1st kernel
(old memory) on page boundary is to keep backward compatibility for old
kernels, and that if doing so, we waste not a little memory due to
round-up operation to fit the memory to page boundary since most of the
buffers are in per-cpu area.
ELF notes are per-cpu, so total size of ELF note segments depends on
number of CPUs. The current maximum number of CPUs on x86_64 is 5192,
and there's already system with 4192 CPUs in SGI, where total size
amounts to 1MB. This can be larger in the near future or possibly even
now on another architecture that has larger size of note per a single
cpu. Thus, to avoid the case where memory allocation for large block
fails, we allocate vmcore objects on vmalloc memory.
This patch adds elfnotes_buf and elfnotes_sz variables to keep pointer
to the ELF note segment buffer and its size. There's no longer the
vmcore object that corresponds to the ELF note segment in vmcore_list.
Accordingly, read_vmcore() has new case for ELF note segment and
set_vmcore_list_offsets_elf{64,32}() and other helper functions starts
calculating offset from sum of size of ELF headers and size of ELF note
segment.

page-size boundary in vmcore_list
Treat memory chunks referenced by PT_LOAD program header entries in
page-size boundary in vmcore_list. Formally, for each range [start,
end], we set up the corresponding vmcore object in vmcore_list to
[rounddown(start, PAGE_SIZE), roundup(end, PAGE_SIZE)].
This change affects layout of /proc/vmcore. The gaps generated by the
rearrangement are newly made visible to applications as holes.
Concretely, they are two ranges [rounddown(start, PAGE_SIZE), start] and
[end, roundup(end, PAGE_SIZE)].
Suppose variable m points at a vmcore object in vmcore_list, and
variable phdr points at the program header of PT_LOAD type the variable
m corresponds to. Then, pictorially:
m->offset +---------------+
| hole |
phdr->p_offset = +---------------+
m->offset + (paddr - start) | |\
| kernel memory | phdr->p_memsz
| |/
+---------------+
| hole |
m->offset + m->size +---------------+
where m->offset and m->offset + m->size are always page-size aligned.
