[ Upstream commit 31051c85b5e2aaaf6315f74c72a732673632a905 ]

inode_change_ok() will be resposible for clearing capabilities and IMA
extended attributes and as such will need dentry. Give it as an argument
to inode_change_ok() instead of an inode. Also rename inode_change_ok()
to setattr_prepare() to better relect that it does also some
modifications in addition to checks.

[ Upstream commit ed8b0de5a33d2a2557dce7f9429dca8cb5bc5879 ]

"rm -rf" is bricking some peoples' laptops because of variables being
used to store non-reinitializable firmware driver data that's required
to POST the hardware.

These are 100% bugs, and they need to be fixed, but in the mean time it
shouldn't be easy to *accidentally* brick machines.

We have to have delete working, and picking which variables do and don't
work for deletion is quite intractable, so instead make everything
immutable by default (except for a whitelist), and make tools that
aren't quite so broad-spectrum unset the immutable flag.

<title>fs/proc, core/debug: Don't expose absolute kernel addresses via wchan</title>

<id>669b3319d0817b4f10db614b7ab68624d24be9d9</id>
<content type='text'>
commit b2f73922d119686323f14fbbe46587f863852328 upstream.

So the /proc/PID/stat 'wchan' field (the 30th field, which contains
the absolute kernel address of the kernel function a task is blocked in)
leaks absolute kernel addresses to unprivileged user-space:

        seq_put_decimal_ull(m, ' ', wchan);

The absolute address might also leak via /proc/PID/wchan as well, if
KALLSYMS is turned off or if the symbol lookup fails for some reason:

static int proc_pid_wchan(struct seq_file *m, struct pid_namespace *ns,
                          struct pid *pid, struct task_struct *task)
{
        unsigned long wchan;
        char symname[KSYM_NAME_LEN];

        wchan = get_wchan(task);

        if (lookup_symbol_name(wchan, symname) &lt; 0) {
                if (!ptrace_may_access(task, PTRACE_MODE_READ))
                        return 0;
                seq_printf(m, "%lu", wchan);
        } else {
                seq_printf(m, "%s", symname);
        }

        return 0;
}

This isn't ideal, because for example it trivially leaks the KASLR offset
to any local attacker:

  fomalhaut:~&gt; printf "%016lx\n" $(cat /proc/$$/stat | cut -d' ' -f35)
  ffffffff8123b380

Most real-life uses of wchan are symbolic:

  ps -eo pid:10,tid:10,wchan:30,comm

and procps uses /proc/PID/wchan, not the absolute address in /proc/PID/stat:

  triton:~/tip&gt; strace -f ps -eo pid:10,tid:10,wchan:30,comm 2&gt;&amp;1 | grep wchan | tail -1
  open("/proc/30833/wchan", O_RDONLY)     = 6

There's one compatibility quirk here: procps relies on whether the
absolute value is non-zero - and we can provide that functionality
by outputing "0" or "1" depending on whether the task is blocked
(whether there's a wchan address).

These days there appears to be very little legitimate reason
user-space would be interested in  the absolute address. The
absolute address is mostly historic: from the days when we
didn't have kallsyms and user-space procps had to do the
decoding itself via the System.map.

So this patch sets all numeric output to "0" or "1" and keeps only
symbolic output, in /proc/PID/wchan.

( The absolute sleep address can generally still be profiled via
  perf, by tasks with sufficient privileges. )

   - new inode mmap lock so that we can lock page faults out of

     to avoid racing mmap writes from causing data corruption

   - rework of direct IO submission and completion to solve data
     corruption issue when running concurrent extending DIO writes.
     Also solves problem of running IO completion transactions in
     interrupt context during size extending AIO writes.

   - FALLOC_FL_INSERT_RANGE support for inserting holes into a file via
     direct extent manipulation to avoid needing to copy data within the
     file

   - attribute block header field overflow fix for 64k block size
     filesystems

   - Lots of changes to log messaging to be more informative and concise
     when errors occur.  Also prevent a lot of unnecessary log spamming
     due to cascading failures in error conditions.

   - lots of cleanups and bug fixes

  One thing of note is the direct IO fixes that we merged last week
  after the window opened.  Even though a little late, they fix a user
  reported data corruption and have been pretty well tested.  I figured
  there was not much point waiting another 2 weeks for -rc1 to be

Pull f2fs updates from Jaegeuk Kim:
 "New features:
   - in-memory extent_cache
   - fs_shutdown to test power-off-recovery

<title>proc: show locks in /proc/pid/fdinfo/X</title>

Let's show locks which are associated with a file descriptor in
its fdinfo file.

Currently we don't have a reliable way to determine who holds a lock.  We
can find some information in /proc/locks, but PID which is reported there
can be wrong.  For example, a process takes a lock, then forks a child and
dies.  In this case /proc/locks contains the parent pid, which can be
reused by another process.

$ cat /proc/locks
...
6: FLOCK  ADVISORY  WRITE 324 00:13:13431 0 EOF
...

$ ps -C rpcbind
  PID TTY          TIME CMD
  332 ?        00:00:00 rpcbind

$ cat /proc/332/fdinfo/4
pos:	0
flags:	0100000
mnt_id:	22
lock:	1: FLOCK  ADVISORY  WRITE 324 00:13:13431 0 EOF

$ ls -l /proc/332/fd/4
lr-x------ 1 root root 64 Mar  5 14:43 /proc/332/fd/4 -&gt; /run/rpcbind.lock

$ ls -l /proc/324/fd/
total 0
lrwx------ 1 root root 64 Feb 27 14:50 0 -&gt; /dev/pts/0
lrwx------ 1 root root 64 Feb 27 14:50 1 -&gt; /dev/pts/0
lrwx------ 1 root root 64 Feb 27 14:49 2 -&gt; /dev/pts/0

You can see that the process with the 324 pid doesn't hold the lock.

This information is required for proper dumping and restoring file
locks.
