<title>vfs: Implement a filesystem superblock creation/configuration context</title>

[AV - unfuck kern_mount_data(); we want non-NULL -&gt;mnt_ns on long-living
mounts]
[AV - reordering fs/namespace.c is badly overdue, but let's keep it
separate from that series]
[AV - drop simple_pin_fs() change]
[AV - clean vfs_kern_mount() failure exits up]

Implement a filesystem context concept to be used during superblock
creation for mount and superblock reconfiguration for remount.

The mounting procedure then becomes:

 (1) Allocate new fs_context context.

 (2) Configure the context.

 (3) Create superblock.

 (4) Query the superblock.

 (5) Create a mount for the superblock.

 (6) Destroy the context.

Rather than calling fs_type-&gt;mount(), an fs_context struct is created and
fs_type-&gt;init_fs_context() is called to set it up.  Pointers exist for the
filesystem and LSM to hang their private data off.

A set of operations has to be set by -&gt;init_fs_context() to provide
freeing, duplication, option parsing, binary data parsing, validation,
mounting and superblock filling.

Legacy filesystems are supported by the provision of a set of legacy
fs_context operations that build up a list of mount options and then invoke
fs_type-&gt;mount() from within the fs_context -&gt;get_tree() operation.  This
allows all filesystems to be accessed using fs_context.

It should be noted that, whilst this patch adds a lot of lines of code,
there is quite a bit of duplication with existing code that can be
eliminated should all filesystems be converted over.

<title>Revert "x86/fault: BUG() when uaccess helpers fault on kernel addresses"</title>

This reverts commit 9da3f2b74054406f87dff7101a569217ffceb29b.

It was well-intentioned, but wrong.  Overriding the exception tables for
instructions for random reasons is just wrong, and that is what the new
code did.

It caused problems for tracing, and it caused problems for strncpy_from_user(),
because the new checks made perfectly valid use cases break, rather than
catch things that did bad things.

Unchecked user space accesses are a problem, but that's not a reason to
add invalid checks that then people have to work around with silly flags
(in this case, that 'kernel_uaccess_faults_ok' flag, which is just an
odd way to say "this commit was wrong" and was sprinked into random
places to hide the wrongness).

The real fix to unchecked user space accesses is to get rid of the
special "let's not check __get_user() and __put_user() at all" logic.
Make __{get|put}_user() be just aliases to the regular {get|put}_user()
functions, and make it impossible to access user space without having
the proper checks in places.

The raison d'être of the special double-underscore versions used to be
that the range check was expensive, and if you did multiple user
accesses, you'd do the range check up front (like the signal frame
handling code, for example).  But SMAP (on x86) and PAN (on ARM) have
made that optimization pointless, because the _real_ expense is the "set
CPU flag to allow user space access".

Do let's not break the valid cases to catch invalid cases that shouldn't
even exist.

<title>copy_mount_string: Limit string length to PATH_MAX</title>

<id>fbdb44013202305cd2aefb01df0a92bb55819702</id>
<content type='text'>
On ppc64le, When a string with PAGE_SIZE - 1 (i.e. 64k-1) length is
passed as a "filesystem type" argument to the mount(2) syscall,
copy_mount_string() ends up allocating 64k (the PAGE_SIZE on ppc64le)
worth of space for holding the string in kernel's address space.

Later, in set_precision() (invoked by get_fs_type() -&gt;
__request_module() -&gt; vsnprintf()), we end up assigning
strlen(fs-type-string) i.e. 65535 as the
value to 'struct printf_spec'-&gt;precision member. This field has a width
of 16 bits and it is a signed data type. Hence an invalid value ends
up getting assigned. This causes the "WARN_ONCE(spec-&gt;precision != prec,
"precision %d too large", prec)" statement inside set_precision() to be
executed.

This commit fixes the bug by limiting the length of the string passed by
copy_mount_string() to strndup_user() to PATH_MAX.

Don't fetch fcaps when umount2 is called to avoid a process hang while
it waits for the missing resource to (possibly never) re-appear.

Note the comment above user_path_mountpoint_at():
 * A umount is a special case for path walking. We're not actually interested
 * in the inode in this situation, and ESTALE errors can be a problem.  We
 * simply want track down the dentry and vfsmount attached at the mountpoint
 * and avoid revalidating the last component.

This can happen on ceph, cifs, 9p, lustre, fuse (gluster) or NFS.

Don't fetch fcaps when umount2 is called to avoid a process hang while
it waits for the missing resource to (possibly never) re-appear.

Note the comment above user_path_mountpoint_at():
 * A umount is a special case for path walking. We're not actually interested
 * in the inode in this situation, and ESTALE errors can be a problem.  We
 * simply want track down the dentry and vfsmount attached at the mountpoint
 * and avoid revalidating the last component.

This can happen on ceph, cifs, 9p, lustre, fuse (gluster) or NFS.

<title>convert do_remount_sb() to fs_context</title>

Replace do_remount_sb() with a function, reconfigure_super(), that's
fs_context aware.  The fs_context is expected to be parameterised already
and have -&gt;root pointing to the superblock to be reconfigured.

A legacy wrapper is provided that is intended to be called from the
fs_context ops when those appear, but for now is called directly from
reconfigure_super().  This wrapper invokes the -&gt;remount_fs() superblock op
for the moment.  It is intended that the remount_fs() op will be phased
out.

The fs_context-&gt;purpose is set to FS_CONTEXT_FOR_RECONFIGURE to indicate
that the context is being used for reconfiguration.

do_umount_root() is provided to consolidate remount-to-R/O for umount and
emergency remount by creating a context and invoking reconfiguration.

do_remount(), do_umount() and do_emergency_remount_callback() are switched
to use the new process.

[AV -- fold UMOUNT and EMERGENCY_REMOUNT in; fixes the
umount / bug, gets rid of pointless complexity]
[AV -- set -&gt;net_ns in all cases; nfs remount will need that]
[AV -- shift security_sb_remount() call into reconfigure_super(); the callers
that didn't do security_sb_remount() have NULL fc-&gt;security anyway, so it's
a no-op for them]

<title>vfs_get_tree(): evict the call of security_sb_kern_mount()</title>

Right now vfs_get_tree() calls security_sb_kern_mount() (i.e.
mount MAC) unless it gets MS_KERNMOUNT or MS_SUBMOUNT in flags.
Doing it that way is both clumsy and imprecise.

Consider the callers' tree of vfs_get_tree():
vfs_get_tree()
        &lt;- do_new_mount()
	&lt;- vfs_kern_mount()
		&lt;- simple_pin_fs()
		&lt;- vfs_submount()
		&lt;- kern_mount_data()
		&lt;- init_mount_tree()
		&lt;- btrfs_mount()
			&lt;- vfs_get_tree()
		&lt;- nfs_do_root_mount()
			&lt;- nfs4_try_mount()
				&lt;- nfs_fs_mount()
					&lt;- vfs_get_tree()
			&lt;- nfs4_referral_mount()

do_new_mount() always does need MAC (we are guaranteed that neither
MS_KERNMOUNT nor MS_SUBMOUNT will be passed there).

simple_pin_fs(), vfs_submount() and kern_mount_data() pass explicit
flags inhibiting that check.  So does nfs4_referral_mount() (the
flags there are ulimately coming from vfs_submount()).

init_mount_tree() is called too early for anything LSM-related; it
doesn't matter whether we attempt those checks, they'll do nothing.

Finally, in case of btrfs_mount() and nfs_fs_mount(), doing MAC
is pointless - either the caller will do it, or the flags are
such that we wouldn't have done it either.

In other words, the one and only case when we want that check
done is when we are called from do_new_mount(), and there we
want it unconditionally.

So let's simply move it there.  The superblock is still locked,
so nobody is going to get access to it (via ustat(2), etc.)
until we get a chance to apply the checks - we are free to
move them to any point up to where we drop -&gt;s_umount (in
do_new_mount_fc()).
