[ Upstream commit d5027ca63e0e778b641cf23e3f5c6d6212cf412b ]

Ritesh reported a bug [1] against UML, noting that it crashed on
startup. The backtrace shows the following (heavily redacted):

indicating that the UML function openpty_cb() calls openpty(),
which internally calls __getgrnam_r(), which causes the nsswitch
machinery to get started.

This loads, through lots of indirection that I snipped, the
libcom_err.so.2 library, which (in an unknown function, "??")
calls sem_init().

Now, of course it wants to get libpthread's sem_init(), since
it's linked against libpthread. However, the dynamic linker
looks up that symbol against the binary first, and gets the
kernel's sem_init().

Hajime Tazaki noted that "objcopy -L" can localize a symbol,
so the dynamic linker wouldn't do the lookup this way. I tried,
but for some reason that didn't seem to work.

Doing the same thing in the linker script instead does seem to
work, though I cannot entirely explain - it *also* works if I
just add "VERSION { { global: *; }; }" instead, indicating that
something else is happening that I don't really understand. It
may be that explicitly doing that marks them with some kind of
empty version, and that's different from the default.

Explicitly marking them with a version breaks kallsyms, so that
doesn't seem to be possible.

Marking all the symbols as local seems correct, and does seem
to address the issue, so do that. Also do it for static link,
nsswitch libraries could still be loaded there.

commit 47da29763ec9a153b9b685bff9db659e4e09e494 upstream.

If userspace tries to change the stub, we need to kill it,
because otherwise it can escape the virtual machine. In a
few cases the stub checks weren't good, e.g. if userspace
just tries to

	mmap(0x100000 - 0x1000, 0x3000, ...)

it could succeed to get a new private/anonymous mapping
replacing the stubs. Fix this by checking everywhere, and
checking for _overlap_, not just direct changes.

Since struct device is refcounted, we shouldn't free the vu_dev
immediately when it's removed from the platform device, but only
when the references actually all go away. Move the freeing to
the release to accomplish that.

<title>um: ubd: Submit all data segments atomically</title>

<id>1dab82dd202d27ad4266e2711e250bfe5127bcbf</id>
<content type='text'>
[ Upstream commit fc6b6a872dcd48c6f39c7975836d75113db67d37 ]

Internally, UBD treats each physical IO segment as a separate command to
be submitted in the execution pipe.  If the pipe returns a transient
error after a few segments have already been written, UBD will tell the
block layer to requeue the request, but there is no way to reclaim the
segments already submitted.  When a new attempt to dispatch the request
is done, those segments already submitted will get duplicated, causing
the WARN_ON below in the best case, and potentially data corruption.

In my system, running a UML instance with 2GB of RAM and a 50M UBD disk,
I can reproduce the WARN_ON by simply running mkfs.fvat against the
disk on a freshly booted system.

There are a few ways to around this, like reducing the pressure on
the pipe by reducing the queue depth, which almost eliminates the
occurrence of the problem, increasing the pipe buffer size on the host
system, or by limiting the request to one physical segment, which causes
the block layer to submit way more requests to resolve a single
operation.

Instead, this patch modifies the format of a UBD command, such that all
segments are sent through a single element in the communication pipe,
turning the command submission atomic from the point of view of the
block layer.  The new format has a variable size, depending on the
number of elements, and looks like this:

+------------+-----------+-----------+------------
| cmd_header | segment 0 | segment 1 | segment ...
+------------+-----------+-----------+------------

With this format, we push a pointer to cmd_header in the submission
pipe.

This has the advantage of reducing the memory footprint of executing a
single request, since it allow us to merge some fields in the header.
It is possible to reduce even further each segment memory footprint, by
merging bitmap_words and cow_offset, for instance, but this is not the
focus of this patch and is left as future work.  One issue with the
patch is that for a big number of segments, we now perform one big
memory allocation instead of multiple small ones, but I wasn't able to
trigger any real issues or -ENOMEM because of this change, that wouldn't
be reproduced otherwise.

This was tested using fio with the verify-crc32 option, and by running
an ext4 filesystem over this UBD device.

The original WARN_ON was:

[ Upstream commit fc6b6a872dcd48c6f39c7975836d75113db67d37 ]

Internally, UBD treats each physical IO segment as a separate command to
be submitted in the execution pipe.  If the pipe returns a transient
error after a few segments have already been written, UBD will tell the
block layer to requeue the request, but there is no way to reclaim the
segments already submitted.  When a new attempt to dispatch the request
is done, those segments already submitted will get duplicated, causing
the WARN_ON below in the best case, and potentially data corruption.

In my system, running a UML instance with 2GB of RAM and a 50M UBD disk,
I can reproduce the WARN_ON by simply running mkfs.fvat against the
disk on a freshly booted system.

There are a few ways to around this, like reducing the pressure on
the pipe by reducing the queue depth, which almost eliminates the
occurrence of the problem, increasing the pipe buffer size on the host
system, or by limiting the request to one physical segment, which causes
the block layer to submit way more requests to resolve a single
operation.

Instead, this patch modifies the format of a UBD command, such that all
segments are sent through a single element in the communication pipe,
turning the command submission atomic from the point of view of the
block layer.  The new format has a variable size, depending on the
number of elements, and looks like this:

+------------+-----------+-----------+------------
| cmd_header | segment 0 | segment 1 | segment ...
+------------+-----------+-----------+------------

With this format, we push a pointer to cmd_header in the submission
pipe.

This has the advantage of reducing the memory footprint of executing a
single request, since it allow us to merge some fields in the header.
It is possible to reduce even further each segment memory footprint, by
merging bitmap_words and cow_offset, for instance, but this is not the
focus of this patch and is left as future work.  One issue with the
patch is that for a big number of segments, we now perform one big
memory allocation instead of multiple small ones, but I wasn't able to
trigger any real issues or -ENOMEM because of this change, that wouldn't
be reproduced otherwise.

This was tested using fio with the verify-crc32 option, and by running
an ext4 filesystem over this UBD device.

The original WARN_ON was:

commit 97be7ceaf7fea68104824b6aa874cff235333ac1 upstream.

asprintf is not compatible with the existing uml memory allocation
mechanism. Its use on the "user" side of UML results in a corrupt slab
state.

[ Upstream commit 9431f7c199ab0d02da1482d62255e0b4621cb1b5 ]

xterm serial channel was leaking a fd used in setting up the
port helper

This bug is prehistoric - it predates switching to git. The "fixes"
header here is really just to mark all the versions we would like this to
apply to which is "Anything from the Cretaceous period onwards".

No dinosaurs were harmed in fixing this bug.

[ Upstream commit 9b1c0c0e25dcccafd30e7d4c150c249cc65550eb ]

Fix a logical error in tty reading. We get 0 and errno == EAGAIN
on the first attempt to read from a closed file descriptor.

Compared to that a true EAGAIN is EAGAIN and -1.

If we check errno for EAGAIN first, before checking the return
value we miss the fact that the descriptor is closed.

This bug is as old as the driver. It was not showing up with
the original POLL based IRQ controller, because it was
producing multiple events. Switching to EPOLL unmasked it.
