This patchset adds execveat(2) for x86, and is derived from Meredydd
Luff's patch from Sept 2012 (https://lkml.org/lkml/2012/9/11/528).
The primary aim of adding an execveat syscall is to allow an
implementation of fexecve(3) that does not rely on the /proc filesystem,
at least for executables (rather than scripts). The current glibc version
of fexecve(3) is implemented via /proc, which causes problems in sandboxed
or otherwise restricted environments.
Given the desire for a /proc-free fexecve() implementation, HPA suggested
(https://lkml.org/lkml/2006/7/11/556) that an execveat(2) syscall would be
an appropriate generalization.
Also, having a new syscall means that it can take a flags argument without
back-compatibility concerns. The current implementation just defines the
AT_EMPTY_PATH and AT_SYMLINK_NOFOLLOW flags, but other flags could be
added in future -- for example, flags for new namespaces (as suggested at
https://lkml.org/lkml/2006/7/11/474).
Related history:
- https://lkml.org/lkml/2006/12/27/123 is an example of someone
realizing that fexecve() is likely to fail in a chroot environment.
- http://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=514043 covered
documenting the /proc requirement of fexecve(3) in its manpage, to
"prevent other people from wasting their time".
- https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=241609 described a
problem where a process that did setuid() could not fexecve()
because it no longer had access to /proc/self/fd; this has since
been fixed.
This patch (of 4):
Add a new execveat(2) system call. execveat() is to execve() as openat()
is to open(): it takes a file descriptor that refers to a directory, and
resolves the filename relative to that.
In addition, if the filename is empty and AT_EMPTY_PATH is specified,
execveat() executes the file to which the file descriptor refers. This
replicates the functionality of fexecve(), which is a system call in other
UNIXen, but in Linux glibc it depends on opening "/proc/self/fd/<fd>" (and
so relies on /proc being mounted).
The filename fed to the executed program as argv[0] (or the name of the
script fed to a script interpreter) will be of the form "/dev/fd/<fd>"
(for an empty filename) or "/dev/fd/<fd>/<filename>", effectively
reflecting how the executable was found. This does however mean that
execution of a script in a /proc-less environment won't work; also, script
execution via an O_CLOEXEC file descriptor fails (as the file will not be
accessible after exec).
Based on patches by Meredydd Luff.

When running FSX with direct I/O mode, fsx resulted in DATA past EOF issues.
fsx ./file2 -Z -r 4096 -w 4096
...
..
truncating to largest ever: 0x907c
fallocating to largest ever: 0x11137
truncating to largest ever: 0x2c6fe
truncating to largest ever: 0x2cfdf
fallocating to largest ever: 0x40000
Mapped Read: non-zero data past EOF (0x18628) page offset 0x629 is 0x2a4e
...
..
The reason being, it is doing a truncate down, but the zeroing does not
happen on the last block boundary when offset is not aligned. Even though
it calls truncate_setsize()->truncate_inode_pages()->
truncate_inode_pages_range() and considers the partial zeroout but it
retrieves the page using find_lock_page() - which only looks the page in
the cache. So, zeroing out does not happen in case of direct IO.
Make a truncate page based around block_truncate_page for FAT filesystem
and invoke that helper to zerout in case the offset is not aligned with
the blocksize.

Since commit 058504edd026 ("fs/seq_file: fallback to vmalloc allocation"),
seq_buf_alloc() falls back to vmalloc() when the kmalloc() for contiguous
memory fails. This was done to address order-4 slab allocations for
reading /proc/stat on large machines and noticed because
PAGE_ALLOC_COSTLY_ORDER < 4, so there is no infinite loop in the page
allocator when allocating new slab for such high-order allocations.
Contiguous memory isn't necessary for caller of seq_buf_alloc(), however.
Other GFP_KERNEL high-order allocations that are <=
PAGE_ALLOC_COSTLY_ORDER will simply loop forever in the page allocator and
oom kill processes as a result.
We don't want to kill processes so that we can allocate contiguous memory
in situations when contiguous memory isn't necessary.
This patch does the kmalloc() allocation with __GFP_NORETRY for high-order
allocations. This still utilizes memory compaction and direct reclaim in
the allocation path, the only difference is that it will fail immediately
instead of oom kill processes when out of memory.

The slab shrinkers are currently invoked from the zonelist walkers in
kswapd, direct reclaim, and zone reclaim, all of which roughly gauge the
eligible LRU pages and assemble a nodemask to pass to NUMA-aware
shrinkers, which then again have to walk over the nodemask. This is
redundant code, extra runtime work, and fairly inaccurate when it comes to
the estimation of actually scannable LRU pages. The code duplication will
only get worse when making the shrinkers cgroup-aware and requiring them
to have out-of-band cgroup hierarchy walks as well.
Instead, invoke the shrinkers from shrink_zone(), which is where all
reclaimers end up, to avoid this duplication.
Take the count for eligible LRU pages out of get_scan_count(), which
considers many more factors than just the availability of swap space, like
zone_reclaimable_pages() currently does. Accumulate the number over all
visited lruvecs to get the per-zone value.
Some nodes have multiple zones due to memory addressing restrictions. To
avoid putting too much pressure on the shrinkers, only invoke them once
for each such node, using the class zone of the allocation as the pivot
zone.
For now, this integrates the slab shrinking better into the reclaim logic
and gets rid of duplicative invocations from kswapd, direct reclaim, and
zone reclaim. It also prepares for cgroup-awareness, allowing
memcg-capable shrinkers to be added at the lruvec level without much
duplication of both code and runtime work.
This changes kswapd behavior, which used to invoke the shrinkers for each
zone, but with scan ratios gathered from the entire node, resulting in
meaningless pressure quantities on multi-zone nodes.
Zone reclaim behavior also changes. It used to shrink slabs until the
same amount of pages were shrunk as were reclaimed from the LRUs. Now it
merely invokes the shrinkers once with the zone's scan ratio, which makes
the shrinkers go easier on caches that implement aging and would prefer
feeding back pressure from recently used slab objects to unused LRU pages.

The i_mmap_mutex is a close cousin of the anon vma lock, both protecting
similar data, one for file backed pages and the other for anon memory. To
this end, this lock can also be a rwsem. In addition, there are some
important opportunities to share the lock when there are no tree
modifications.
This conversion is straightforward. For now, all users take the write
lock.

Since the rework of the sparse interrupt code to actually free the
unused interrupt descriptors there exists a race between the /proc
interfaces to the irq subsystem and the code which frees the interrupt
descriptor.
CPU0 CPU1
show_interrupts()
desc = irq_to_desc(X);
free_desc(desc)
remove_from_radix_tree();
kfree(desc);
raw_spinlock_irq(&desc->lock);
/proc/interrupts is the only interface which can actively corrupt
kernel memory via the lock access. /proc/stat can only read from freed
memory. Extremly hard to trigger, but possible.
The interfaces in /proc/irq/N/ are not affected by this because the
removal of the proc file is serialized in procfs against concurrent
readers/writers. The removal happens before the descriptor is freed.
For architectures which have CONFIG_SPARSE_IRQ=n this is a non issue
as the descriptor is never freed. It's merely cleared out with the irq
descriptor lock held. So any concurrent proc access will either see
the old correct value or the cleared out ones.
Protect the lookup and access to the irq descriptor in
show_interrupts() with the sparse_irq_lock.
Provide kstat_irqs_usr() which is protecting the lookup and access
with sparse_irq_lock and switch /proc/stat to use it.
Document the existing kstat_irqs interfaces so it's clear that the
caller needs to take care about protection. The users of these
interfaces are either not affected due to SPARSE_IRQ=n or already
protected against removal.

err = req->out.h.error;
fuse_put_request(req);
Create a new replacement helper:

path_put() in release could trigger a DESTROY request in fuseblk. The
possible deadlock was worked around by doing the path_put() with
schedule_work().
This complexity isn't needed if we just hold the inode instead of the path.
Since we now flush all requests before destroying the super block we can be
sure that all held inodes will be dropped.

Use fuse_abort_conn() instead of fuse_conn_kill() in fuse_put_super().
This flushes and aborts requests still on any queues. But since we've
already reset fc->connected, those requests would not be useful anyway and
would be flushed when the fuse device is closed.
Next patches will rely on requests being flushed before the superblock is
destroyed.
Use fuse_abort_conn() in cuse_process_init_reply() too, since it makes no
difference there, and we can get rid of fuse_conn_kill().

- Expose the knob to user space through a proc file /proc/<pid>/setgroups
A value of "deny" means the setgroups system call is disabled in the
current processes user namespace and can not be enabled in the
future in this user namespace.
A value of "allow" means the segtoups system call is enabled.
- Descendant user namespaces inherit the value of setgroups from
their parents.
- A proc file is used (instead of a sysctl) as sysctls currently do
not allow checking the permissions at open time.
- Writing to the proc file is restricted to before the gid_map
for the user namespace is set.
This ensures that disabling setgroups at a user namespace
level will never remove the ability to call setgroups
from a process that already has that ability.
A process may opt in to the setgroups disable for itself by
creating, entering and configuring a user namespace or by calling
setns on an existing user namespace with setgroups disabled.
Processes without privileges already can not call setgroups so this
is a noop. Prodcess with privilege become processes without
privilege when entering a user namespace and as with any other path
to dropping privilege they would not have the ability to call
setgroups. So this remains within the bounds of what is possible
without a knob to disable setgroups permanently in a user namespace.

On some ARMs the memory can be mapped pgprot_noncached() and still
be working for atomic operations. As pointed out by Colin Cross
<ccross@android.com>, in some cases you do want to use
pgprot_noncached() if the SoC supports it to see a debug printk
just before a write hanging the system.
On ARMs, the atomic operations on strongly ordered memory are
implementation defined. So let's provide an optional kernel parameter
for configuring pgprot_noncached(), and use pgprot_writecombine() by
default.

Currently trying to use pstore on at least ARMs can hang as we're
mapping the peristent RAM with pgprot_noncached().
On ARMs, pgprot_noncached() will actually make the memory strongly
ordered, and as the atomic operations pstore uses are implementation
defined for strongly ordered memory, they may not work. So basically
atomic operations have undefined behavior on ARM for device or strongly
ordered memory types.
Let's fix the issue by using write-combine variants for mappings. This
corresponds to normal, non-cacheable memory on ARM. For many other
architectures, this change does not change the mapping type as by
default we have:
#define pgprot_writecombine pgprot_noncached
The reason why pgprot_noncached() was originaly used for pstore
is because Colin Cross <ccross@android.com> had observed lost
debug prints right before a device hanging write operation on some
systems. For the platforms supporting pgprot_noncached(), we can
add a an optional configuration option to support that. But let's
get pstore working first before adding new features.

As it is, default ->i_fop has NULL ->open() (along with all other methods).
The only case where it matters is reopening (via procfs symlink) a file that
didn't get its ->f_op from ->i_fop - anything else will have ->i_fop assigned
to something sane (default would fail on read/write/ioctl/etc.).
Unfortunately, such case exists - alloc_file() users, especially
anon_get_file() ones. There we have tons of opened files of very different
kinds sharing the same inode. As the result, attempt to reopen those via
procfs succeeds and you get a descriptor you can't do anything with.
Moreover, in case of sockets we set ->i_fop that will only be used
on such reopen attempts - and put a failing ->open() into it to make sure
those do not succeed.
It would be simpler to put such ->open() into default ->i_fop and leave
it unchanged both for anon inode (as we do anyway) and for socket ones. Result:
* everything going through do_dentry_open() works as it used to
* sock_no_open() kludge is gone
* attempts to reopen anon-inode files fail as they really ought to
* ditto for aio_private_file()
* ditto for perfmon - this one actually tried to imitate sock_no_open()
trick, but failed to set ->i_fop, so in the current tree reopens succeed and
yield completely useless descriptor. Intent clearly had been to fail with
-ENXIO on such reopens; now it actually does.
* everything else that used alloc_file() keeps working - it has ->i_fop
set for its inodes anyway

procfs inodes need only the ns_ops part; nsfs inodes don't need it at all

New pseudo-filesystem: nsfs. Targets of /proc/*/ns/* live there now.
It's not mountable (not even registered, so it's not in /proc/filesystems,
etc.). Files on it *are* bindable - we explicitly permit that in do_loopback().
This stuff lives in fs/nsfs.c now; proc_ns_fget() moved there as well.
get_proc_ns() is a macro now (it's simply returning ->i_private; would
have been an inline, if not for header ordering headache).
proc_ns_inode() is an ex-parrot. The interface used in procfs is
ns_get_path(path, task, ops) and ns_get_name(buf, size, task, ops).
Dentries and inodes are never hashed; a non-counting reference to dentry
is stashed in ns_common (removed by ->d_prune()) and reused by ns_get_path()
if present. See ns_get_path()/ns_prune_dentry/nsfs_evict() for details
of that mechanism.
As the result, proc_ns_follow_link() has stopped poking in nd->path.mnt;
it does nd_jump_link() on a consistent <vfsmount,dentry> pair it gets
from ns_get_path().

Relying on the sign (after casting to int) of the difference of two
quantities for comparison is usually wrong. For example, should a-b
turn out to be 2^31, the return value of cmp(a,b) is -2^31; but that
would also be the return value from cmp(b, a). So a compares less than
b and b compares less than a. One can also easily find three values
a,b,c such that a compares less than b, b compares less than c, but a
does not compare less than c.

Same story as in commit 41080b5a2401 ("nfsd race fixes: ext2") (similar
ext2 fix) except that nilfs2 needs to use insert_inode_locked4() instead
of insert_inode_locked() and a bug of a check for dead inodes needs to
be fixed.
If nilfs_iget() is called from nfsd after nilfs_new_inode() calls
insert_inode_locked4(), nilfs_iget() will wait for unlock_new_inode() at
the end of nilfs_mkdir()/nilfs_create()/etc to unlock the inode.
If nilfs_iget() is called before nilfs_new_inode() calls
insert_inode_locked4(), it will create an in-core inode and read its
data from the on-disk inode. But, nilfs_iget() will find i_nlink equals
zero and fail at nilfs_read_inode_common(), which will lead it to call
iget_failed() and cleanly fail.
However, this sanity check doesn't work as expected for reused on-disk
inodes because they leave a non-zero value in i_mode field and it
hinders the test of i_nlink. This patch also fixes the issue by
removing the test on i_mode that nilfs2 doesn't need.

This patch removes filemap_write_and_wait_range() from nilfs_sync_file(),
because it triggers a data segment construction by calling
nilfs_writepages() with WB_SYNC_ALL. A data segment construction does not
remove the inode from the i_dirty list and it does not clear the
NILFS_I_DIRTY flag. Therefore nilfs_inode_dirty() still returns true,
which leads to an unnecessary duplicate segment construction in
nilfs_sync_file().
A call to filemap_write_and_wait_range() is not needed, because NILFS2
does not rely on the generic writeback mechanisms. Instead it implements
its own mechanism to collect all dirty pages and write them into segments.
It is more efficient to initiate the segment construction directly in
nilfs_sync_file() without the detour over filemap_write_and_wait_range().
Additionally the lock of i_mutex is not needed, because all code blocks
that are protected by i_mutex are also protected by a NILFS transaction:
Function i_mutex nilfs_transaction
------------------------------------------------------
nilfs_ioctl_setflags: yes yes
nilfs_fiemap: yes no
nilfs_write_begin: yes yes
nilfs_write_end: yes yes
nilfs_lookup: yes no
nilfs_create: yes yes
nilfs_link: yes yes
nilfs_mknod: yes yes
nilfs_symlink: yes yes
nilfs_mkdir: yes yes
nilfs_unlink: yes yes
nilfs_rmdir: yes yes
nilfs_rename: yes yes
nilfs_setattr: yes yes
For nilfs_lookup() i_mutex is held for the parent directory, to protect it
from modification. The segment construction does not modify directory
inodes, so no lock is needed.
nilfs_fiemap() reads the block layout on the disk, by using
nilfs_bmap_lookup_contig(). This is already protected by bmap->b_sem.

vma_dump_size() has been used several times on actual dumper and it is
supposed to return the same value for the same vma. But vma_dump_size()
could return different values for same vma.
The known problem case is concurrent shared memory removal. If a vma is
used for a shared memory and that shared memory is removed between
writing program header and dumping vma memory, this will result in a
dump file which is internally consistent.
To fix the problem, we set baseline to get dump size and store the size
into vma_filesz and always use the same vma dump size which is stored in
vma_filsz. The consistnecy with reality is not actually guranteed, but
it's tolerable since that is fully consistent with base line.

When trying to develop a custom format handler, the errors returned all
effectively get bucketed as EINVAL with no kernel messages. The other
errors (ENOMEM/EFAULT) are internal/obvious and basic. Thus any time a
bad handler is rejected, the developer has to walk the dense code and
try to guess where it went wrong. Needing to dive into kernel code is
itself a fairly high barrier for a lot of people.
To improve this situation, let's deploy extensive pr_debug markers at
logical parse points, and add comments to the dense parsing logic. It
let's you see exactly where the parsing aborts, the string the kernel
received (useful when dealing with shell code), how it translated the
buffers to binary data, and how it will apply the mask at runtime.
Some example output:
