Pull openat2 support from Al Viro:
 "This is the openat2() series from Aleksa Sarai.

  I'm afraid that the rest of namei stuff will have to wait - it got
  zero review the last time I'd posted #work.namei, and there had been a
  leak in the posted series I'd caught only last weekend. I was going to
  repost it on Monday, but the window opened and the odds of getting any
  review during that... Oh, well.

  Anyway, openat2 part should be ready; that _did_ get sane amount of
  review and public testing, so here it comes"

From Aleksa's description of the series:
 "For a very long time, extending openat(2) with new features has been
  incredibly frustrating. This stems from the fact that openat(2) is
  possibly the most famous counter-example to the mantra "don't silently
  accept garbage from userspace" -- it doesn't check whether unknown
  flags are present[1].

  This means that (generally) the addition of new flags to openat(2) has
  been fraught with backwards-compatibility issues (O_TMPFILE has to be
  defined as __O_TMPFILE|O_DIRECTORY|[O_RDWR or O_WRONLY] to ensure old
  kernels gave errors, since it's insecure to silently ignore the
  flag[2]). All new security-related flags therefore have a tough road
  to being added to openat(2).

  Furthermore, the need for some sort of control over VFS's path
  resolution (to avoid malicious paths resulting in inadvertent
  breakouts) has been a very long-standing desire of many userspace
  applications.

  This patchset is a revival of Al Viro's old AT_NO_JUMPS[3] patchset
  (which was a variant of David Drysdale's O_BENEATH patchset[4] which
  was a spin-off of the Capsicum project[5]) with a few additions and
  changes made based on the previous discussion within [6] as well as
  others I felt were useful.

  In line with the conclusions of the original discussion of
  AT_NO_JUMPS, the flag has been split up into separate flags. However,
  instead of being an openat(2) flag it is provided through a new
  syscall openat2(2) which provides several other improvements to the
  openat(2) interface (see the patch description for more details). The
  following new LOOKUP_* flags are added:

  LOOKUP_NO_XDEV:

     Blocks all mountpoint crossings (upwards, downwards, or through
     absolute links). Absolute pathnames alone in openat(2) do not
     trigger this. Magic-link traversal which implies a vfsmount jump is
     also blocked (though magic-link jumps on the same vfsmount are
     permitted).

  LOOKUP_NO_MAGICLINKS:

     Blocks resolution through /proc/$pid/fd-style links. This is done
     by blocking the usage of nd_jump_link() during resolution in a
     filesystem. The term "magic-links" is used to match with the only
     reference to these links in Documentation/, but I'm happy to change
     the name.

     It should be noted that this is different to the scope of
     ~LOOKUP_FOLLOW in that it applies to all path components. However,
     you can do openat2(NO_FOLLOW|NO_MAGICLINKS) on a magic-link and it
     will *not* fail (assuming that no parent component was a
     magic-link), and you will have an fd for the magic-link.

     In order to correctly detect magic-links, the introduction of a new
     LOOKUP_MAGICLINK_JUMPED state flag was required.

  LOOKUP_BENEATH:

     Disallows escapes to outside the starting dirfd's
     tree, using techniques such as ".." or absolute links. Absolute
     paths in openat(2) are also disallowed.

     Conceptually this flag is to ensure you "stay below" a certain
     point in the filesystem tree -- but this requires some additional
     to protect against various races that would allow escape using
     "..".

     Currently LOOKUP_BENEATH implies LOOKUP_NO_MAGICLINKS, because it
     can trivially beam you around the filesystem (breaking the
     protection). In future, there might be similar safety checks done
     as in LOOKUP_IN_ROOT, but that requires more discussion.

  In addition, two new flags are added that expand on the above ideas:

  LOOKUP_NO_SYMLINKS:

     Does what it says on the tin. No symlink resolution is allowed at
     all, including magic-links. Just as with LOOKUP_NO_MAGICLINKS this
     can still be used with NOFOLLOW to open an fd for the symlink as
     long as no parent path had a symlink component.

  LOOKUP_IN_ROOT:

     This is an extension of LOOKUP_BENEATH that, rather than blocking
     attempts to move past the root, forces all such movements to be
     scoped to the starting point. This provides chroot(2)-like
     protection but without the cost of a chroot(2) for each filesystem
     operation, as well as being safe against race attacks that
     chroot(2) is not.

     If a race is detected (as with LOOKUP_BENEATH) then an error is
     generated, and similar to LOOKUP_BENEATH it is not permitted to
     cross magic-links with LOOKUP_IN_ROOT.

     The primary need for this is from container runtimes, which
     currently need to do symlink scoping in userspace[7] when opening
     paths in a potentially malicious container.

     There is a long list of CVEs that could have bene mitigated by
     having RESOLVE_THIS_ROOT (such as CVE-2017-1002101,
     CVE-2017-1002102, CVE-2018-15664, and CVE-2019-5736, just to name a
     few).

  In order to make all of the above more usable, I'm working on
  libpathrs[8] which is a C-friendly library for safe path resolution.
  It features a userspace-emulated backend if the kernel doesn't support
  openat2(2). Hopefully we can get userspace to switch to using it, and
  thus get openat2(2) support for free once it's ready.

  Future work would include implementing things like
  RESOLVE_NO_AUTOMOUNT and possibly a RESOLVE_NO_REMOTE (to allow
  programs to be sure they don't hit DoSes though stale NFS handles)"

Monitoring tools that want to find out which resctrl control and monitor
groups a task belongs to must currently read the "tasks" file in every
group until they locate the process ID.

Add an additional file /proc/{pid}/cpu_resctrl_groups to provide this

1)   res:

resctrl is not available.

2)   res:/
     mon:

Task is part of the root resctrl control group, and it is not associated

This fixes two problems reported with the cmdline simplification and
cleanup last year:

 - the setproctitle() special cases didn't quite match the original
   semantics, and it can be noticeable:

      https://lore.kernel.org/lkml/alpine.LNX.2.21.1904052326230.3249@kich.toxcorp.com/

 - it could leak an uninitialized byte from the temporary buffer under
   the right (wrong) circustances:

      https://lore.kernel.org/lkml/20190712160913.17727-1-izbyshev@ispras.ru/

It rewrites the logic entirely, splitting it into two separate commits
(and two separate functions) for the two different cases ("unedited
cmdline" vs "setproctitle() has been used to change the command line").

* proc-cmdline:
  /proc/&lt;pid&gt;/cmdline: add back the setproctitle() special case
  /proc/&lt;pid&gt;/cmdline: remove all the special cases

      https://lore.kernel.org/lkml/alpine.LNX.2.21.1904052326230.3249@kich.toxcorp.com/

 - it could leak an uninitialized byte from the temporary buffer under
   the right (wrong) circustances:

      https://lore.kernel.org/lkml/20190712160913.17727-1-izbyshev@ispras.ru/

It rewrites the logic entirely, splitting it into two separate commits
(and two separate functions) for the two different cases ("unedited
cmdline" vs "setproctitle() has been used to change the command line").

This makes the setproctitle() special case very explicit indeed, and
handles it with a separate helper function entirely.  In the process, it
re-instates the original semantics of simply stopping at the first NUL
character when the original last NUL character is no longer there.

[ The original semantics can still be seen in mm/util.c: get_cmdline()
  that is limited to a fixed-size buffer ]

This makes the logic about when we use the string lengths etc much more
obvious, and makes it easier to see what we do and what the two very
different cases are.

Note that even when we allow walking past the end of the argument array
(because the setproctitle() might have overwritten and overflowed the
original argv[] strings), we only allow it when it overflows into the
environment region if it is immediately adjacent.

[ Fixed for missing 'count' checks noted by Alexey Izbyshev ]

Start off with a clean slate that only reads exactly from arg_start to
arg_end, without any oddities.  This simplifies the code and in the
process removes the case that caused us to potentially leak an
uninitialized byte from the temporary kernel buffer.

Note that in order to start from scratch with an understandable base,
this simplifies things _too_ much, and removes all the legacy logic to
handle setproctitle() having changed the argument strings.

We'll add back those special cases very differently in the next commit.

Commit ef08e3b4981a ("[PATCH] cpusets: confine oom_killer to
mem_exclusive cpuset") introduces a heuristic where a potential
oom-killer victim is skipped if the intersection of the potential victim
and the current (the process triggered the oom) is empty based on the
reason that killing such victim most probably will not help the current
allocating process.

However the commit 7887a3da753e ("[PATCH] oom: cpuset hint") changed the
heuristic to just decrease the oom_badness scores of such potential
victim based on the reason that the cpuset of such processes might have
changed and previously they may have allocated memory on mems where the
current allocating process can allocate from.

Unintentionally 7887a3da753e ("[PATCH] oom: cpuset hint") introduced a
side effect as the oom_badness is also exposed to the user space through
/proc/[pid]/oom_score, so, readers with different cpusets can read
different oom_score of the same process.

Later, commit 6cf86ac6f36b ("oom: filter tasks not sharing the same
cpuset") fixed the side effect introduced by 7887a3da753e by moving the
cpuset intersection back to only oom-killer context and out of
oom_badness.  However the combination of ab290adbaf8f ("oom: make
oom_unkillable_task() helper function") and 26ebc984913b ("oom:
/proc/&lt;pid&gt;/oom_score treat kernel thread honestly") unintentionally
brought back the cpuset intersection check into the oom_badness
calculation function.

Other than doing cpuset/mempolicy intersection from oom_badness, the memcg
oom context is also doing cpuset/mempolicy intersection which is quite
wrong and is caught by syzcaller with the following report:

The fix is to decouple the cpuset/mempolicy intersection check from
oom_unkillable_task() and make sure cpuset/mempolicy intersection check is
only done in the global oom context.

The fix is to decouple the cpuset/mempolicy intersection check from
oom_unkillable_task() and make sure cpuset/mempolicy intersection check is
only done in the global oom context.

oom_unkillable_task() can be called from three different contexts i.e.
global OOM, memcg OOM and oom_score procfs interface.  At the moment
oom_unkillable_task() does a task_in_mem_cgroup() check on the given
process.  Since there is no reason to perform task_in_mem_cgroup()
check for global OOM and oom_score procfs interface, those contexts
provide NULL memcg and skips the task_in_mem_cgroup() check.  However
for memcg OOM context, the oom_unkillable_task() is always called from
mem_cgroup_scan_tasks() and thus task_in_mem_cgroup() check becomes
redundant and effectively dead code.  So, just remove the
task_in_mem_cgroup() check altogether.
