Large enterprise clients often run applications out of networked file
systems where the IT mandated layout of project volumes can end up
leading to paths that are longer than 128 characters.  Bumping this up
to the next order of two solves this problem in all but the most
egregious case while still fitting into a 512b slab.

<title>sched/core: Convert sighand_struct.count to refcount_t</title>
<updated>2019-02-04T07:53:52+00:00</updated>

<id>d036bda7d0e7269c2982eb979acfef855f5d7977</id>
<content type='text'>
atomic_t variables are currently used to implement reference
counters with the following properties:

 - counter is initialized to 1 using atomic_set()
 - a resource is freed upon counter reaching zero
 - once counter reaches zero, its further
   increments aren't allowed
 - counter schema uses basic atomic operations
   (set, inc, inc_not_zero, dec_and_test, etc.)

Such atomic variables should be converted to a newly provided
refcount_t type and API that prevents accidental counter overflows
and underflows. This is important since overflows and underflows
can lead to use-after-free situation and be exploitable.

The variable sighand_struct.count is used as pure reference counter.
Convert it to refcount_t and fix up the operations.

** Important note for maintainers:

Some functions from refcount_t API defined in lib/refcount.c
have different memory ordering guarantees than their atomic
counterparts.

The full comparison can be seen in
https://lkml.org/lkml/2017/11/15/57 and it is hopefully soon
in state to be merged to the documentation tree.

Normally the differences should not matter since refcount_t provides
enough guarantees to satisfy the refcounting use cases, but in
some rare cases it might matter.

Please double check that you don't have some undocumented
memory guarantees for this variable usage.

For the sighand_struct.count it might make a difference
in following places:

 - __cleanup_sighand: decrement in refcount_dec_and_test() only
   provides RELEASE ordering and control dependency on success
   vs. fully ordered atomic counterpart

Pull trivial vfs updates from Al Viro:
 "A few cleanups + Neil's namespace_unlock() optimization"

* 'for-linus' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/viro/vfs:
  exec: make prepare_bprm_creds static
  genheaders: %-&lt;width&gt;s had been there since v6; %-*s - since v7
  VFS: use synchronize_rcu_expedited() in namespace_unlock()
  iov_iter: reduce code duplication

This is already done for us internally by the signal machinery.

<title>exec: separate MM_ANONPAGES and RLIMIT_STACK accounting</title>

get_arg_page() checks bprm-&gt;rlim_stack.rlim_cur and re-calculates the
"extra" size for argv/envp pointers every time, this is a bit ugly and
even not strictly correct: acct_arg_size() must not account this size.

Remove all the rlimit code in get_arg_page().  Instead, add bprm-&gt;argmin
calculated once at the start of __do_execve_file() and change
copy_strings to check bprm-&gt;p &gt;= bprm-&gt;argmin.

The patch adds the new helper, prepare_arg_pages() which initializes
bprm-&gt;argc/envc and bprm-&gt;argmin.
