commit 479adb89a97b0a33e5a9d702119872cc82ca21aa upstream.

A cgroup which is already a threaded domain may be converted into a
threaded cgroup if the prerequisite conditions are met.  When this
happens, all threaded descendant should also have their -&gt;dom_cgrp
updated to the new threaded domain cgroup.  Unfortunately, this
propagation was missing leading to the following failure.

  # cd /sys/fs/cgroup/unified
  # cat cgroup.subtree_control    # show that no controllers are enabled

  # mkdir -p mycgrp/a/b/c
  # echo threaded &gt; mycgrp/a/b/cgroup.type

  At this point, the hierarchy looks as follows:

      mycgrp [d]
	  a [dt]
	      b [t]
		  c [inv]

  Now let's make node "a" threaded (and thus "mycgrp" s made "domain threaded"):

  # echo threaded &gt; mycgrp/a/cgroup.type

  By this point, we now have a hierarchy that looks as follows:

      mycgrp [dt]
	  a [t]
	      b [t]
		  c [inv]

  But, when we try to convert the node "c" from "domain invalid" to
  "threaded", we get ENOTSUP on the write():

  # echo threaded &gt; mycgrp/a/b/c/cgroup.type
  sh: echo: write error: Operation not supported

This patch fixes the problem by

* Moving the opencoded -&gt;dom_cgrp save and restoration in
  cgroup_enable_threaded() into cgroup_{save|restore}_control() so
  that mulitple cgroups can be handled.

* Updating all threaded descendants' -&gt;dom_cgrp to point to the new
  dom_cgrp when enabling threaded mode.

[ Upstream commit 4dcb31d4649df36297296b819437709f5407059c ]

Andrei Vagin reported a KASAN: slab-out-of-bounds error in
skb_update_prio()

Since SYNACK might be attached to a request socket, we need to
get back to the listener socket.
Since this listener is manipulated without locks, add const
qualifiers to sock_cgroup_prioidx() so that the const can also
be used in skb_update_prio()

Also add the const qualifier to sock_cgroup_classid() for consistency.

<title>License cleanup: add SPDX GPL-2.0 license identifier to files with no license</title>

<content type='text'>
Many source files in the tree are missing licensing information, which
makes it harder for compliance tools to determine the correct license.

By default all files without license information are under the default
license of the kernel, which is GPL version 2.

Update the files which contain no license information with the 'GPL-2.0'
SPDX license identifier.  The SPDX identifier is a legally binding
shorthand, which can be used instead of the full boiler plate text.

This patch is based on work done by Thomas Gleixner and Kate Stewart and
Philippe Ombredanne.

How this work was done:

Patches were generated and checked against linux-4.14-rc6 for a subset of
the use cases:
 - file had no licensing information it it.
 - file was a */uapi/* one with no licensing information in it,
 - file was a */uapi/* one with existing licensing information,

Further patches will be generated in subsequent months to fix up cases
where non-standard license headers were used, and references to license
had to be inferred by heuristics based on keywords.

The analysis to determine which SPDX License Identifier to be applied to
a file was done in a spreadsheet of side by side results from of the
output of two independent scanners (ScanCode &amp; Windriver) producing SPDX
tag:value files created by Philippe Ombredanne.  Philippe prepared the
base worksheet, and did an initial spot review of a few 1000 files.

The 4.13 kernel was the starting point of the analysis with 60,537 files
assessed.  Kate Stewart did a file by file comparison of the scanner
results in the spreadsheet to determine which SPDX license identifier(s)
to be applied to the file. She confirmed any determination that was not
immediately clear with lawyers working with the Linux Foundation.

Criteria used to select files for SPDX license identifier tagging was:
 - Files considered eligible had to be source code files.
 - Make and config files were included as candidates if they contained &gt;5
   lines of source
 - File already had some variant of a license header in it (even if &lt;5
   lines).

All documentation files were explicitly excluded.

The following heuristics were used to determine which SPDX license
identifiers to apply.

 - when both scanners couldn't find any license traces, file was
   considered to have no license information in it, and the top level
   COPYING file license applied.

   For non */uapi/* files that summary was:

   SPDX license identifier                            # files
   ---------------------------------------------------|-------
   GPL-2.0                                              11139

   and resulted in the first patch in this series.

   If that file was a */uapi/* path one, it was "GPL-2.0 WITH
   Linux-syscall-note" otherwise it was "GPL-2.0".  Results of that was:

   SPDX license identifier                            # files
   ---------------------------------------------------|-------
   GPL-2.0 WITH Linux-syscall-note                        930

   and resulted in the second patch in this series.

 - if a file had some form of licensing information in it, and was one
   of the */uapi/* ones, it was denoted with the Linux-syscall-note if
   any GPL family license was found in the file or had no licensing in
   it (per prior point).  Results summary:

   SPDX license identifier                            # files
   ---------------------------------------------------|------
   GPL-2.0 WITH Linux-syscall-note                       270
   GPL-2.0+ WITH Linux-syscall-note                      169
   ((GPL-2.0 WITH Linux-syscall-note) OR BSD-2-Clause)    21
   ((GPL-2.0 WITH Linux-syscall-note) OR BSD-3-Clause)    17
   LGPL-2.1+ WITH Linux-syscall-note                      15
   GPL-1.0+ WITH Linux-syscall-note                       14
   ((GPL-2.0+ WITH Linux-syscall-note) OR BSD-3-Clause)    5
   LGPL-2.0+ WITH Linux-syscall-note                       4
   LGPL-2.1 WITH Linux-syscall-note                        3
   ((GPL-2.0 WITH Linux-syscall-note) OR MIT)              3
   ((GPL-2.0 WITH Linux-syscall-note) AND MIT)             1

   and that resulted in the third patch in this series.

 - when the two scanners agreed on the detected license(s), that became
   the concluded license(s).

 - when there was disagreement between the two scanners (one detected a
   license but the other didn't, or they both detected different
   licenses) a manual inspection of the file occurred.

 - In most cases a manual inspection of the information in the file
   resulted in a clear resolution of the license that should apply (and
   which scanner probably needed to revisit its heuristics).

 - When it was not immediately clear, the license identifier was
   confirmed with lawyers working with the Linux Foundation.

 - If there was any question as to the appropriate license identifier,
   the file was flagged for further research and to be revisited later
   in time.

In total, over 70 hours of logged manual review was done on the
spreadsheet to determine the SPDX license identifiers to apply to the
source files by Kate, Philippe, Thomas and, in some cases, confirmation
by lawyers working with the Linux Foundation.

Kate also obtained a third independent scan of the 4.13 code base from
FOSSology, and compared selected files where the other two scanners
disagreed against that SPDX file, to see if there was new insights.  The
Windriver scanner is based on an older version of FOSSology in part, so
they are related.

Thomas did random spot checks in about 500 files from the spreadsheets
for the uapi headers and agreed with SPDX license identifier in the
files he inspected. For the non-uapi files Thomas did random spot checks
in about 15000 files.

In initial set of patches against 4.14-rc6, 3 files were found to have
copy/paste license identifier errors, and have been fixed to reflect the
correct identifier.

Additionally Philippe spent 10 hours this week doing a detailed manual
inspection and review of the 12,461 patched files from the initial patch
version early this week with:
 - a full scancode scan run, collecting the matched texts, detected
   license ids and scores
 - reviewing anything where there was a license detected (about 500+
   files) to ensure that the applied SPDX license was correct
 - reviewing anything where there was no detection but the patch license
   was not GPL-2.0 WITH Linux-syscall-note to ensure that the applied
   SPDX license was correct

This produced a worksheet with 20 files needing minor correction.  This
worksheet was then exported into 3 different .csv files for the
different types of files to be modified.

These .csv files were then reviewed by Greg.  Thomas wrote a script to
parse the csv files and add the proper SPDX tag to the file, in the
format that the file expected.  This script was further refined by Greg
based on the output to detect more types of files automatically and to
distinguish between header and source .c files (which need different
comment types.)  Finally Greg ran the script using the .csv files to
generate the patches.

Creating cgroup hierearchies of unreasonable size can affect
overall system performance. A user might want to limit the
size of cgroup hierarchy. This is especially important if a user
is delegating some cgroup sub-tree.

To address this issue, introduce an ability to control
the size of cgroup hierarchy.

The cgroup.max.descendants control file allows to set the maximum
allowed number of descendant cgroups.
The cgroup.max.depth file controls the maximum depth of the cgroup
tree. Both are single value r/w files, with "max" default value.

The control files exist on each hierarchy level (including root).
When a new cgroup is created, we check the total descendants
and depth limits on each level, and if none of them are exceeded,
a new cgroup is created.

Only alive cgroups are counted, removed (dying) cgroups are
ignored.

Keep track of the number of online and dying descent cgroups.

This data will be used later to add an ability to control cgroup
hierarchy (limit the depth and the number of descent cgroups)
and display hierarchy stats.

<title>cgroup: implement cgroup v2 thread support</title>

This patch implements cgroup v2 thread support.  The goal of the
thread mode is supporting hierarchical accounting and control at
thread granularity while staying inside the resource domain model
which allows coordination across different resource controllers and
handling of anonymous resource consumptions.

A cgroup is always created as a domain and can be made threaded by
writing to the "cgroup.type" file.  When a cgroup becomes threaded, it
becomes a member of a threaded subtree which is anchored at the
closest ancestor which isn't threaded.

The threads of the processes which are in a threaded subtree can be
placed anywhere without being restricted by process granularity or
no-internal-process constraint.  Note that the threads aren't allowed
to escape to a different threaded subtree.  To be used inside a
threaded subtree, a controller should explicitly support threaded mode
and be able to handle internal competition in the way which is
appropriate for the resource.

The root of a threaded subtree, the nearest ancestor which isn't
threaded, is called the threaded domain and serves as the resource
domain for the whole subtree.  This is the last cgroup where domain
controllers are operational and where all the domain-level resource
consumptions in the subtree are accounted.  This allows threaded
controllers to operate at thread granularity when requested while
staying inside the scope of system-level resource distribution.

As the root cgroup is exempt from the no-internal-process constraint,
it can serve as both a threaded domain and a parent to normal cgroups,
so, unlike non-root cgroups, the root cgroup can have both domain and
threaded children.

Internally, in a threaded subtree, each css_set has its -&gt;dom_cset
pointing to a matching css_set which belongs to the threaded domain.
This ensures that thread root level cgroup_subsys_state for all
threaded controllers are readily accessible for domain-level
operations.

This patch enables threaded mode for the pids and perf_events
controllers.  Neither has to worry about domain-level resource
consumptions and it's enough to simply set the flag.

For more details on the interface and behavior of the thread mode,
please refer to the section 2-2-2 in Documentation/cgroup-v2.txt added
by this patch.

v5: - Dropped silly no-op -&gt;dom_cgrp init from cgroup_create().
      Spotted by Waiman.
    - Documentation updated as suggested by Waiman.
    - cgroup.type content slightly reformatted.
    - Mark the debug controller threaded.

v4: - Updated to the general idea of marking specific cgroups
      domain/threaded as suggested by PeterZ.

v3: - Dropped "join" and always make mixed children join the parent's
      threaded subtree.

v2: - After discussions with Waiman, support for mixed thread mode is
      added.  This should address the issue that Peter pointed out
      where any nesting should be avoided for thread subtrees while
      coexisting with other domain cgroups.
    - Enabling / disabling thread mode now piggy backs on the existing
      control mask update mechanism.
    - Bug fixes and cleanup.

cgroup v2 is in the process of growing thread granularity support.  A
threaded subtree is composed of a thread root and threaded cgroups
which are proper members of the subtree.

The root cgroup of the subtree serves as the domain cgroup to which
the processes (as opposed to threads / tasks) of the subtree
conceptually belong and domain-level resource consumptions not tied to
any specific task are charged.  Inside the subtree, threads won't be
subject to process granularity or no-internal-task constraint and can
be distributed arbitrarily across the subtree.

This patch introduces cgroup-&gt;dom_cgrp along with threaded css_set
handling.

* cgroup-&gt;dom_cgrp points to self for normal and thread roots.  For
  proper thread subtree members, points to the dom_cgrp (the thread
  root).

* css_set-&gt;dom_cset points to self if for normal and thread roots.  If
  threaded, points to the css_set which belongs to the cgrp-&gt;dom_cgrp.
  The dom_cgrp serves as the resource domain and keeps the matching
  csses available.  The dom_cset holds those csses and makes them
  easily accessible.

* All threaded csets are linked on their dom_csets to enable iteration
  of all threaded tasks.

* cgroup-&gt;nr_threaded_children keeps track of the number of threaded
  children.

This patch adds the above but doesn't actually use them yet.  The
following patches will build on top.

v4: -&gt;nr_threaded_children added.

v3: -&gt;proc_cgrp/cset renamed to -&gt;dom_cgrp/cset.  Updated for the new
    enable-threaded-per-cgroup behavior.

v2: Added cgroup_is_threaded() helper.

cgrp-&gt;populated_cnt counts both local (the cgroup's populated
css_sets) and subtree proper (populated children) so that it's only
zero when the whole subtree, including self, is empty.

This patch splits the counter into two so that local and children
populated states are tracked separately.  It allows finer-grained
tests on the state of the hierarchy which will be used to replace
css_set walking local populated test.

Currently, cgroup only supports delegation to !root users and cgroup
namespaces don't get any special treatments.  This limits the
usefulness of cgroup namespaces as they by themselves can't be safe
delegation boundaries.  A process inside a cgroup can change the
resource control knobs of the parent in the namespace root and may
move processes in and out of the namespace if cgroups outside its
namespace are visible somehow.

This patch adds a new mount option "nsdelegate" which makes cgroup
namespaces delegation boundaries.  If set, cgroup behaves as if write
permission based delegation took place at namespace boundaries -
writes to the resource control knobs from the namespace root are
denied and migration crossing the namespace boundary aren't allowed
from inside the namespace.

This allows cgroup namespace to function as a delegation boundary by
itself.

v2: Silently ignore nsdelegate specified on !init mounts.
