Merge branch 'userns-linus' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/ebiederm/user-namespace

2018-08-24T16:25:39+00:00

Pull namespace fixes from Eric Biederman:
 "This is a set of four fairly obvious bug fixes:

   - a switch from d_find_alias to d_find_any_alias because the xattr
     code perversely takes a dentry

   - two mutex vs copy_to_user fixes from Jann Horn

   - a fix to use a sanitized size not the size userspace passed in from
     Christian Brauner"

* 'userns-linus' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/ebiederm/user-namespace:
  getxattr: use correct xattr length
  sys: don't hold uts_sem while accessing userspace memory
  userns: move user access out of the mutex
  cap_inode_getsecurity: use d_find_any_alias() instead of d_find_alias()

sys: don't hold uts_sem while accessing userspace memory

2018-08-11T07:05:53+00:00

Holding uts_sem as a writer while accessing userspace memory allows a
namespace admin to stall all processes that attempt to take uts_sem.
Instead, move data through stack buffers and don't access userspace memory
while uts_sem is held.

alpha: fix osf_wait4() breakage

2018-07-22T18:51:30+00:00

kernel_wait4() expects a userland address for status - it's only
rusage that goes as a kernel one (and needs a copyout afterwards)

[ Also, fix the prototype of kernel_wait4() to have that __user
  annotation   - Linus ]

Merge branch 'siginfo-linus' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/ebiederm/user-namespace

2018-06-04T22:23:48+00:00

Pull siginfo updates from Eric Biederman:
 "This set of changes close the known issues with setting si_code to an
  invalid value, and with not fully initializing struct siginfo. There
  remains work to do on nds32, arc, unicore32, powerpc, arm, arm64, ia64
  and x86 to get the code that generates siginfo into a simpler and more
  maintainable state. Most of that work involves refactoring the signal
  handling code and thus careful code review.

  Also not included is the work to shrink the in kernel version of
  struct siginfo. That depends on getting the number of places that
  directly manipulate struct siginfo under control, as it requires the
  introduction of struct kernel_siginfo for the in kernel things.

  Overall this set of changes looks like it is making good progress, and
  with a little luck I will be wrapping up the siginfo work next
  development cycle"

alpha: io: reorder barriers to guarantee writeX() and iowriteX() ordering #2

2018-05-23T01:10:36+00:00

memory-barriers.txt has been updated with the following requirement.

"When using writel(), a prior wmb() is not needed to guarantee that the
cache coherent memory writes have completed before writing to the MMIO
region."

Current writeX() and iowriteX() implementations on alpha are not
satisfying this requirement as the barrier is after the register write.

Move mb() in writeX() and iowriteX() functions to guarantee that HW
observes memory changes before performing register operations.

alpha: use dma_direct_ops for jensen

2018-05-23T01:10:36+00:00

The generic dma_direct implementation does the same thing as the alpha
pci-noop implementation, just with more bells and whistles.  And unlike
the current code it at least has a theoretical chance to actually compile.

signal/alpha: Use force_sig_fault where appropriate

2018-04-25T15:40:59+00:00

Filling in struct siginfo before calling force_sig_info a tedious and
error prone process, where once in a great while the wrong fields
are filled out, and siginfo has been inconsistently cleared.

Simplify this process by using the helper force_sig_fault.  Which
takes as a parameters all of the information it needs, ensures
all of the fiddly bits of filling in struct siginfo are done properly
and then calls force_sig_info.

In short about a 5 line reduction in code for every time force_sig_info
is called, which makes the calling function clearer.

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.
