Pull structure randomization updates from Kees Cook:
 "Now that IPC and other changes have landed, enable manual markings for
  randstruct plugin, including the task_struct.

  This is the rest of what was staged in -next for the gcc-plugins, and
  comes in three patches, largest first:

   - mark "easy" structs with __randomize_layout

   - mark task_struct with an optional anonymous struct to isolate the
     __randomize_layout section

   - mark structs to opt _out_ of automated marking (which will come
     later)

  And, FWIW, this continues to pass allmodconfig (normal and patched to
  enable gcc-plugins) builds of x86_64, i386, arm64, arm, powerpc, and
  s390 for me"

fault-inject: add /proc//fail-nth

2017-07-14T22:05:13+00:00

fail-nth interface is only created in /proc/self/task//.
This change also adds it in /proc//.

This makes shell based tool a bit simpler.

	$ bash -c "builtin echo 100 > /proc/self/fail-nth && exec ls /"

fault-inject: simplify access check for fail-nth

2017-07-14T22:05:13+00:00

The fail-nth file is created with 0666 and the access is permitted if
and only if the task is current.

This file is owned by the currnet user.  So we can create it with 0644
and allow the owner to write it.  This enables to watch the status of
task->fail_nth from another processes.

fault-inject: make fail-nth read/write interface symmetric

2017-07-14T22:05:13+00:00

The read interface for fail-nth looks a bit odd.  Read from this file
returns "NYYYY..." or "YYYYY..." (this makes me surprise when cat this
file).  Because there is no EOF condition.  The first character
indicates current->fail_nth is zero or not, and then current->fail_nth
is reset to zero.

Just returning task->fail_nth value is more natural to understand.

fault-inject: parse as natural 1-based value for fail-nth write interface

2017-07-14T22:05:13+00:00

The value written to fail-nth file is parsed as 0-based.  Parsing as
one-based is more natural to understand and it enables to cancel the
previous setup by simply writing '0'.

This change also converts task->fail_nth from signed to unsigned int.

fault-inject: automatically detect the number base for fail-nth write interface

2017-07-14T22:05:13+00:00

Automatically detect the number base to use when writing to fail-nth
file instead of always parsing as a decimal number.

fault-inject: support systematic fault injection

2017-07-12T23:26:01+00:00

Add /proc/self/task//fail-nth file that allows failing
0-th, 1-st, 2-nd and so on calls systematically.
Excerpt from the added documentation:

 "Write to this file of integer N makes N-th call in the current task
  fail (N is 0-based). Read from this file returns a single char 'Y' or
  'N' that says if the fault setup with a previous write to this file
  was injected or not, and disables the fault if it wasn't yet injected.
  Note that this file enables all types of faults (slab, futex, etc).
  This setting takes precedence over all other generic settings like
  probability, interval, times, etc. But per-capability settings (e.g.
  fail_futex/ignore-private) take precedence over it. This feature is
  intended for systematic testing of faults in a single system call. See
  an example below"

Why add a new setting:
1. Existing settings are global rather than per-task.
   So parallel testing is not possible.
2. attr->interval is close but it depends on attr->count
   which is non reset to 0, so interval does not work as expected.
3. Trying to model this with existing settings requires manipulations
   of all of probability, interval, times, space, task-filter and
   unexposed count and per-task make-it-fail files.
4. Existing settings are per-failure-type, and the set of failure
   types is potentially expanding.
5. make-it-fail can't be changed by unprivileged user and aggressive
   stress testing better be done from an unprivileged user.
   Similarly, this would require opening the debugfs files to the
   unprivileged user, as he would need to reopen at least times file
   (not possible to pre-open before dropping privs).

The proposed interface solves all of the above (see the example).

We want to integrate this into syzkaller fuzzer.  A prototype has found
10 bugs in kernel in first day of usage:

  https://groups.google.com/forum/#!searchin/syzkaller/%22FAULT_INJECTION%22%7Csort:relevance

I've made the current interface work with all types of our sandboxes.
For setuid the secret sauce was prctl(PR_SET_DUMPABLE, 1, 0, 0, 0) to
make /proc entries non-root owned.  So I am fine with the current
version of the code.

sysctl: add unsigned int range support

2017-07-12T23:26:00+00:00

To keep parity with regular int interfaces provide the an unsigned int
proc_douintvec_minmax() which allows you to specify a range of allowed
valid numbers.

Adding proc_douintvec_minmax_sysadmin() is easy but we can wait for an
actual user for that.
