net: Add a new socket option for a future transmit time.

2018-07-04T13:30:27+00:00

This patch introduces SO_TXTIME. User space enables this option in
order to pass a desired future transmit time in a CMSG when calling
sendmsg(2). The argument to this socket option is a 8-bytes long struct
provided by the uapi header net_tstamp.h defined as:

struct sock_txtime {
	clockid_t 	clockid;
	u32		flags;
};

Note that new fields were added to struct sock by filling a 2-bytes
hole found in the struct. For that reason, neither the struct size or
number of cachelines were altered.

signal/alpha: Replace TRAP_FIXME with TRAP_UNK

2018-04-25T15:40:57+00:00

Using an si_code of 0 that aliases with SI_USER is clearly the wrong
thing to do, and causes problems in interesting ways.

For it really is not clear to me if using TRAP_UNK bugcheck or
the default case of gentrap is really the best way to handle
things.  There is certainly enough information that that a more
specific si_code could potentially be used.  That said TRAP_UNK
is definitely an improvement over 0 as it removes the ambiguiuty
of what si_code of 0 with SIGTRAP means on alpha.

Recent history suggests no actually cares about crazy corner cases of
the kernel behavior like this so I don't expect any regressions from
changing this.  However if something does happen this change is easy
to revert.

signal/alpha: Replace FPE_FIXME with FPE_FLTUNK

2018-04-25T15:40:54+00:00

Using an si_code of 0 that aliases with SI_USER is clearly the wrong
thing todo, and causes problems in interesting ways.

The newly defined FPE_FLTUNK semantically appears to fit the bill so
use it instead.

Given recent experience in this area odds are it will not break
anything.  Fixing it removes a hazard to kernel maintenance.

y2038: alpha: Remove unneeded ipc uapi header files

2018-04-20T14:19:54+00:00

The alpha ipcbuf/msgbuf/sembuf/shmbuf header files are all identical
to the version from asm-generic.

This patch removes the files and replaces them with 'generic-y'
statements as part of the y2038 series. Since there is no 32-bit
syscall support for alpha, we don't need the other changes, but
it's good to have clean this up anyway.

mm: introduce MAP_FIXED_NOREPLACE

2018-04-11T17:28:38+00:00

Patch series "mm: introduce MAP_FIXED_NOREPLACE", v2.

This has started as a follow up discussion [3][4] resulting in the
runtime failure caused by hardening patch [5] which removes MAP_FIXED
from the elf loader because MAP_FIXED is inherently dangerous as it
might silently clobber an existing underlying mapping (e.g.  stack).
The reason for the failure is that some architectures enforce an
alignment for the given address hint without MAP_FIXED used (e.g.  for
shared or file backed mappings).

One way around this would be excluding those archs which do alignment
tricks from the hardening [6].  The patch is really trivial but it has
been objected, rightfully so, that this screams for a more generic
solution.  We basically want a non-destructive MAP_FIXED.

The first patch introduced MAP_FIXED_NOREPLACE which enforces the given
address but unlike MAP_FIXED it fails with EEXIST if the given range
conflicts with an existing one.  The flag is introduced as a completely
new one rather than a MAP_FIXED extension because of the backward
compatibility.  We really want a never-clobber semantic even on older
kernels which do not recognize the flag.  Unfortunately mmap sucks
wrt flags evaluation because we do not EINVAL on unknown flags.  On
those kernels we would simply use the traditional hint based semantic so
the caller can still get a different address (which sucks) but at least
not silently corrupt an existing mapping.  I do not see a good way
around that.  Except we won't export expose the new semantic to the
userspace at all.

It seems there are users who would like to have something like that.
Jemalloc has been mentioned by Michael Ellerman [7]

Florian Weimer has mentioned the following:
: glibc ld.so currently maps DSOs without hints.  This means that the kernel
: will map right next to each other, and the offsets between them a completely
: predictable.  We would like to change that and supply a random address in a
: window of the address space.  If there is a conflict, we do not want the
: kernel to pick a non-random address. Instead, we would try again with a
: random address.

John Hubbard has mentioned CUDA example
: a) Searches /proc//maps for a "suitable" region of available
: VA space.  "Suitable" generally means it has to have a base address
: within a certain limited range (a particular device model might
: have odd limitations, for example), it has to be large enough, and
: alignment has to be large enough (again, various devices may have
: constraints that lead us to do this).
:
: This is of course subject to races with other threads in the process.
:
: Let's say it finds a region starting at va.
:
: b) Next it does:
:     p = mmap(va, ...)
:
: *without* setting MAP_FIXED, of course (so va is just a hint), to
: attempt to safely reserve that region. If p != va, then in most cases,
: this is a failure (almost certainly due to another thread getting a
: mapping from that region before we did), and so this layer now has to
: call munmap(), before returning a "failure: retry" to upper layers.
:
:     IMPROVEMENT: --> if instead, we could call this:
:
:             p = mmap(va, ... MAP_FIXED_NOREPLACE ...)
:
:         , then we could skip the munmap() call upon failure. This
:         is a small thing, but it is useful here. (Thanks to Piotr
:         Jaroszynski and Mark Hairgrove for helping me get that detail
:         exactly right, btw.)
:
: c) After that, CUDA suballocates from p, via:
:
:      q = mmap(sub_region_start, ... MAP_FIXED ...)
:
: Interestingly enough, "freeing" is also done via MAP_FIXED, and
: setting PROT_NONE to the subregion. Anyway, I just included (c) for
: general interest.

Atomic address range probing in the multithreaded programs in general
sounds like an interesting thing to me.

The second patch simply replaces MAP_FIXED use in elf loader by
MAP_FIXED_NOREPLACE.  I believe other places which rely on MAP_FIXED
should follow.  Actually real MAP_FIXED usages should be docummented
properly and they should be more of an exception.

This patch (of 2):

MAP_FIXED is used quite often to enforce mapping at the particular range.
The main problem of this flag is, however, that it is inherently dangerous
because it unmaps existing mappings covered by the requested range.  This
can cause silent memory corruptions.  Some of them even with serious
security implications.  While the current semantic might be really
desiderable in many cases there are others which would want to enforce the
given range but rather see a failure than a silent memory corruption on a
clashing range.  Please note that there is no guarantee that a given range
is obeyed by the mmap even when it is free - e.g.  arch specific code is
allowed to apply an alignment.

Introduce a new MAP_FIXED_NOREPLACE flag for mmap to achieve this
behavior.  It has the same semantic as MAP_FIXED wrt.  the given address
request with a single exception that it fails with EEXIST if the requested
address is already covered by an existing mapping.  We still do rely on
get_unmaped_area to handle all the arch specific MAP_FIXED treatment and
check for a conflicting vma after it returns.

The flag is introduced as a completely new one rather than a MAP_FIXED
extension because of the backward compatibility.  We really want a
never-clobber semantic even on older kernels which do not recognize the
flag.  Unfortunately mmap sucks wrt.  flags evaluation because we do not
EINVAL on unknown flags.  On those kernels we would simply use the
traditional hint based semantic so the caller can still get a different
address (which sucks) but at least not silently corrupt an existing
mapping.  I do not see a good way around that.

Merge branch 'misc.poll' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/viro/vfs

2018-01-31T01:58:07+00:00

Pull poll annotations from Al Viro:
 "This introduces a __bitwise type for POLL### bitmap, and propagates
  the annotations through the tree. Most of that stuff is as simple as
  'make ->poll() instances return __poll_t and do the same to local
  variables used to hold the future return value'.

  Some of the obvious brainos found in process are fixed (e.g. POLLIN
  misspelled as POLL_IN). At that point the amount of sparse warnings is
  low and most of them are for genuine bugs - e.g. ->poll() instance
  deciding to return -EINVAL instead of a bitmap. I hadn't touched those
  in this series - it's large enough as it is.

  Another problem it has caught was eventpoll() ABI mess; select.c and
  eventpoll.c assumed that corresponding POLL### and EPOLL### were
  equal. That's true for some, but not all of them - EPOLL### are
  arch-independent, but POLL### are not.

  The last commit in this series separates userland POLL### values from
  the (now arch-independent) kernel-side ones, converting between them
  in the few places where they are copied to/from userland. AFAICS, this
  is the least disruptive fix preserving poll(2) ABI and making epoll()
  work on all architectures.

  As it is, it's simply broken on sparc - try to give it EPOLLWRNORM and
  it will trigger only on what would've triggered EPOLLWRBAND on other
  architectures. EPOLLWRBAND and EPOLLRDHUP, OTOH, are never triggered
  at all on sparc. With this patch they should work consistently on all
  architectures"

alpha: make XTABS equivalent to TAB3

2018-01-21T00:58:33+00:00

XTABS is an old name for "expand tabs to spaces" flag, which was a
separate flag on some BSD implementations. POSIX, however, specifies
that this effect is enabled with TAB3 output mode.

Currently, alpha is the only architecture that has the value of
the XTABS flag not equivalent to TAB3.

bpf: correct broken uapi for BPF_PROG_TYPE_PERF_EVENT program type

2017-12-05T14:02:40+00:00

Commit 0515e5999a466dfe ("bpf: introduce BPF_PROG_TYPE_PERF_EVENT
program type") introduced the bpf_perf_event_data structure which
exports the pt_regs structure.  This is OK for multiple architectures
but fail for s390 and arm64 which do not export pt_regs.  Programs
using them, for example, the bpf selftest fail to compile on these
architectures.

For s390, exporting the pt_regs is not an option because s390 wants
to allow changes to it.  For arm64, there is a user_pt_regs structure
that covers parts of the pt_regs structure for use by user space.

To solve the broken uapi for s390 and arm64, introduce an abstract
type for pt_regs and add an asm/bpf_perf_event.h file that concretes
the type.  An asm-generic header file covers the architectures that
export pt_regs today.

The arch-specific enablement for s390 and arm64 follows in separate
commits.
