Pull hardening updates from Kees Cook:
 "There are three areas of note:

  A bunch of strlcpy()-&gt;strscpy() conversions ended up living in my tree
  since they were either Acked by maintainers for me to carry, or got
  ignored for multiple weeks (and were trivial changes).

  The compiler option '-fstrict-flex-arrays=3' has been enabled
  globally, and has been in -next for the entire devel cycle. This
  changes compiler diagnostics (though mainly just -Warray-bounds which
  is disabled) and potential UBSAN_BOUNDS and FORTIFY _warning_
  coverage. In other words, there are no new restrictions, just
  potentially new warnings. Any new FORTIFY warnings we've seen have
  been fixed (usually in their respective subsystem trees). For more
  details, see commit df8fc4e934c12b.

  The under-development compiler attribute __counted_by has been added
  so that we can start annotating flexible array members with their
  associated structure member that tracks the count of flexible array
  elements at run-time. It is possible (likely?) that the exact syntax
  of the attribute will change before it is finalized, but GCC and Clang
  are working together to sort it out. Any changes can be made to the
  macro while we continue to add annotations.

  As an example of that last case, I have a treewide commit waiting with
  such annotations found via Coccinelle:

    https://git.kernel.org/linus/adc5b3cb48a049563dc673f348eab7b6beba8a9b

  Also see commit dd06e72e68bcb4 for more details.

  Summary:

   - Fix KMSAN vs FORTIFY in strlcpy/strlcat (Alexander Potapenko)

   - Convert strreplace() to return string start (Andy Shevchenko)

   - Flexible array conversions (Arnd Bergmann, Wyes Karny, Kees Cook)

   - Add missing function prototypes seen with W=1 (Arnd Bergmann)

   - Fix strscpy() kerndoc typo (Arne Welzel)

   - Replace strlcpy() with strscpy() across many subsystems which were
     either Acked by respective maintainers or were trivial changes that
     went ignored for multiple weeks (Azeem Shaikh)

   - Remove unneeded cc-option test for UBSAN_TRAP (Nick Desaulniers)

   - Add KUnit tests for strcat()-family

   - Enable KUnit tests of FORTIFY wrappers under UML

   - Add more complete FORTIFY protections for strlcat()

   - Add missed disabling of FORTIFY for all arch purgatories.

   - Enable -fstrict-flex-arrays=3 globally

   - Tightening UBSAN_BOUNDS when using GCC

   - Improve checkpatch to check for strcpy, strncpy, and fake flex
     arrays

   - Improve use of const variables in FORTIFY

   - Add requested struct_size_t() helper for types not pointers

   - Add __counted_by macro for annotating flexible array size members"

When recovery is interrupted (reboot, etc.) check for MD_RECOVERY_RUNNING
is not enough to tell recovery is in progress. Also check recovery_cp
before starting reshape.

Currently, there are many places that md_thread can be accessed without
protection, following are known scenarios that can cause
null-ptr-dereference or uaf:

1) sync_thread that is allocated and started from md_start_sync()
2) mddev-&gt;thread can be accessed directly from timeout_store() and
   md_bitmap_daemon_work()
3) md_unregister_thread() from action_store().

Currently, a global spinlock 'pers_lock' is borrowed to protect
'mddev-&gt;thread' in some places, this problem can be fixed likewise,
however, use a global lock for all the cases is not good.

Fix this problem by protecting all md_thread with rcu.

<title>md/raid5: fix a deadlock in the case that reshape is interrupted</title>

<content type='text'>
If reshape is in progress and io across reshape_position is issued, such
io will wait for reshape to make progress(see details in the case that
make_stripe_request() return STRIPE_SCHEDULE_AND_RETRY).

It has been reported several times that if system reboot while growing
raid5 to raid6, array assemble will hang infinitely([1, 2]). This is
because following deadlock is triggered:

1) a normal io is waiting for reshape to progress, this io can be from
   system-udevd or mdadm.
2) while assemble, mdadm tries to suspend the array, hence
   'reconfig_mutex' is held and mddev_suspend() must wait for normal io
   to be done.
3) daemon thread can't start reshape because 'reconfig_mutex' can't be
   held.

1) and 3) is unbreakable because they're foundation design. In order to
break 2), following is possible solutions that I can think of:

a) Let mddev_suspend() fail is not a good option, because this will
   break many scenarios since mddev_suspend() doesn't fail before.
b) Fail the io that is waiting for reshape to make progress from
   mddev_suspend().
c) Return false for the io that is waiting for reshape to make
   progress from raid5_make_request(), and these io will wait for
   suspend to be done in md_handle_request(), where 'active_io' is
   not grabbed.

c) sounds better than b), however, b) is used because it's easy and
straightforward, and it's verified that mdadm can assemble in this case.
On the other hand, c) breaks the logic that mddev_suspend() will wait
for submitted io to be completely handled.

Fix the problem by checking reshape in mddev_suspend(), if reshape can't
make progress and there are still some io waiting for reshape, fail
those io.

If reshape is interrupted(for example, echo frozen to sync_action), then
rdev replacement can be set. It's safe because reshape is always prior to
resync in md_check_recovery(). However, if system reboots, then kernel will
complain cannot handle concurrent replacement and reshape and this array
is not able to assemble anymore.

Fix this problem by don't allow replacement until reshape is done.

<title>md/raid5: Convert stripe_head's "dev" to flexible array member</title>

Replace old-style 1-element array of "dev" in struct stripe_head with
modern C99 flexible array. In the future, we can additionally annotate
it with the run-time size, found in the "disks" member.

It looks like this memory calculation:

        memory = conf-&gt;min_nr_stripes * (sizeof(struct stripe_head) +
                 max_disks * ((sizeof(struct bio) + PAGE_SIZE))) / 1024;

... was already buggy (i.e. it included the single "dev" bytes in the
result). However, I'm not entirely sure if that is the right analysis,
since "dev" is not related to struct bio nor PAGE_SIZE?

'end_sector' is compared to 'rdev-&gt;recovery_offset', which is offset to
rdev, however, commit e82ed3a4fbb5 ("md/raid6: refactor
raid5_read_one_chunk") changes the calculation of 'end_sector' to offset
to the array. Fix this miscalculation.

<title>md/raid5: Improve performance for sequential IO</title>

Commit 7e55c60acfbb ("md/raid5: Pivot raid5_make_request()") changed the
order in which requests for underlying disks are created. Since for
large sequential IO adding of requests frequently races with md_raid5
thread submitting bios to underlying disks, this results in a change in
IO pattern because intermediate states of new order of request creation
result in more smaller discontiguous requests. For RAID5 on top of three
rotational disks our performance testing revealed this results in
regression in write throughput:

iozone -a -s 131072000 -y 4 -q 8 -i 0 -i 1 -R

before 7e55c60acfbb:
              KB  reclen   write rewrite    read    reread
       131072000       4  493670  525964   524575   513384
       131072000       8  540467  532880   512028   513703

after 7e55c60acfbb:
              KB  reclen   write rewrite    read    reread
       131072000       4  421785  456184   531278   509248
       131072000       8  459283  456354   528449   543834

To reduce the amount of discontiguous requests we can start generating
requests with the stripe with the lowest chunk offset as that has the
best chance of being adjacent to IO queued previously. This improves the
performance to:
              KB  reclen   write rewrite    read    reread
       131072000       4  497682  506317   518043   514559
       131072000       8  514048  501886   506453   504319

restoring big part of the regression.
