pstore: Allow prz to control need for locking

2017-08-07T02:19:43+00:00

commit 663deb47880f2283809669563c5a52ac7c6aef1a upstream.

In preparation of not locking at all for certain buffers depending on if
there's contention, make locking optional depending on the initialization
of the prz.

Make file credentials available to the seqfile interfaces

2017-08-07T02:19:42+00:00

commit 34dbbcdbf63360661ff7bda6c5f52f99ac515f92 upstream.

A lot of seqfile users seem to be using things like %pK that uses the
credentials of the current process, but that is actually completely
wrong for filesystem interfaces.

The unix semantics for permission checking files is to check permissions
at _open_ time, not at read or write time, and that is not just a small
detail: passing off stdin/stdout/stderr to a suid application and making
the actual IO happen in privileged context is a classic exploit
technique.

So if we want to be able to look at permissions at read time, we need to
use the file open credentials, not the current ones.  Normal file
accesses can just use "f_cred" (or any of the helper functions that do
that, like file_ns_capable()), but the seqfile interfaces do not have
any such options.

It turns out that seq_file _does_ save away the user_ns information of
the file, though.  Since user_ns is just part of the full credential
information, replace that special case with saving off the cred pointer
instead, and suddenly seq_file has all the permission information it
needs.

[sumits: this is used in Ubuntu as a fix for CVE-2015-8944]

dentry name snapshots

2017-08-07T02:19:42+00:00

commit 49d31c2f389acfe83417083e1208422b4091cd9e upstream.

take_dentry_name_snapshot() takes a safe snapshot of dentry name;
if the name is a short one, it gets copied into caller-supplied
structure, otherwise an extra reference to external name is grabbed
(those are never modified).  In either case the pointer to stable
string is stored into the same structure.

dentry must be held by the caller of take_dentry_name_snapshot(),
but may be freely dropped afterwards - the snapshot will stay
until destroyed by release_dentry_name_snapshot().

Intended use:
	struct name_snapshot s;

	take_dentry_name_snapshot(&s, dentry);
	...
	access s.name
	...
	release_dentry_name_snapshot(&s);

Replaces fsnotify_oldname_...(), gets used in fsnotify to obtain the name
to pass down with event.

net: phy: Do not perform software reset for Generic PHY

2017-08-07T02:19:41+00:00

commit 0878fff1f42c18e448ab5b8b4f6a3eb32365b5b6 upstream.

The Generic PHY driver is a catch-all PHY driver and it should preserve
whatever prior initialization has been done by boot loader or firmware
agents. For specific PHY device configuration it is expected that a
specialized PHY driver would take over that role.

Resetting the generic PHY was a bad idea that has lead to several
complaints and downstream workarounds e.g: in OpenWrt/LEDE so restore
the behavior prior to 87aa9f9c61ad ("net: phy: consolidate PHY
reset in phy_init_hw()").

pstore: Make spinlock per zone instead of global

2017-08-07T02:19:38+00:00

commit 109704492ef637956265ec2eb72ae7b3b39eb6f4 upstream.

Currently pstore has a global spinlock for all zones. Since the zones
are independent and modify different areas of memory, there's no need
to have a global lock, so we should use a per-zone lock as introduced
here. Also, when ramoops's ftrace use-case has a FTRACE_PER_CPU flag
introduced later, which splits the ftrace memory area into a single zone
per CPU, it will eliminate the need for locking. In preparation for this,
make the locking optional.

vfio: New external user group/file match

2017-07-27T22:06:07+00:00

commit 5d6dee80a1e94cc284d03e06d930e60e8d3ecf7d upstream.

At the point where the kvm-vfio pseudo device wants to release its
vfio group reference, we can't always acquire a new reference to make
that happen.  The group can be in a state where we wouldn't allow a
new reference to be added.  This new helper function allows a caller
to match a file to a group to facilitate this.  Given a file and
group, report if they match.  Thus the caller needs to already have a
group reference to match to the file.  This allows the deletion of a
group without acquiring a new reference.

mm/list_lru.c: fix list_lru_count_node() to be race free

2017-07-21T05:44:56+00:00

commit 2c80cd57c74339889a8752b20862a16c28929c3a upstream.

list_lru_count_node() iterates over all memcgs to get the total number of
entries on the node but it can race with memcg_drain_all_list_lrus(),
which migrates the entries from a dead cgroup to another.  This can return
incorrect number of entries from list_lru_count_node().

Fix this by keeping track of entries per node and simply return it in
list_lru_count_node().
