While a privileged program can open a raw socket, attach some
restrictive filter and drop its privileges (or send the socket to an
unprivileged program through some Unix socket), the filter can still
be removed or modified by the unprivileged program. This commit adds a
socket option to lock the filter (SO_LOCK_FILTER) preventing any
modification of a socket filter program.This is similar to OpenBSD BIOCLOCK ioctl on bpf sockets, except even
root is not allowed change/drop the filter.The state of the lock can be read with getsockopt(). No error is
triggered if the state is not changed. -EPERM is returned when a user
tries to remove the lock or to change/remove the filter while the lock
is active. The check is done directly in sk_attach_filter() and
sk_detach_filter() and does not affect only setsockopt() syscall.Signed-off-by: Vincent Bernat

This fixes up all of the smaller arches that had __dev* markings for
their platform-specific drivers.CONFIG_HOTPLUG is going away as an option. As a result, the __dev*
markings need to be removed.This change removes the use of __devinit, __devexit_p, __devinitdata,
__devinitconst, and __devexit from these drivers.Based on patches originally written by Bill Pemberton, but redone by me
in order to handle some of the coding style issues better, by hand.Cc: Bill Pemberton

Fix up three empty files in arch/cris/ by sticking placeholder comments in
there to prevent the patch program from deleting them.I decided not to delete the arch-v*/Kbuild files as it's possibly someone might
want to use them for genhdr-y lines in the future, but they could be deleted
and the pointer lines removed from asm/Kbuild. The uapi/arch-v*/Kbuild files
ought to be uneffected by such a change.asm/swab.h didn't have anything outside of __KERNEL__ so nothing appeared in
uapi/asm/swab.h. The latter, however, is exported by Kbuild.asm.This needs to be applied after the CRIS UAPI disintegration patch.

The inb/outb macros for CRIS are broken from a number of points of view,
missing () around parameters and they have an unprotected if statement
in them. This was breaking the compile of IPMI on CRIS and thus I was
being annoyed by build regressions, so I fixed them.Plus I don't think they would have worked at all, since the data values
were missing "&" and the outsl had a "3" instead of a "4" for the size.

In commit d0a21265dfb5fa8a David Rientjes unified various archs'
module_alloc implementation (including x86) and removed the graduitous
shortcut for size == 0.Then, in commit de7d2b567d040e3b, Joe Perches added a warning for
zero-length vmallocs, which can happen without kallsyms on modules
with no init sections (eg. zlib_deflate).Fix this once and for all; the module code has to handle zero length
anyway, so get it right at the caller and remove the now-gratuitous
checks within the arch-specific module_alloc implementations.Bugzilla: https://bugzilla.kernel.org/show_bug.cgi?id=42608

Pull big execve/kernel_thread/fork unification series from Al Viro:
"All architectures are converted to new model. Quite a bit of that
stuff is actually shared with architecture trees; in such cases it's
literally shared branch pulled by both, not a cherry-pick.A lot of ugliness and black magic is gone (-3KLoC total in this one):
- kernel_thread()/kernel_execve()/sys_execve() redesign.
We don't do syscalls from kernel anymore for either kernel_thread()
or kernel_execve():kernel_thread() is essentially clone(2) with callback run before we
return to userland, the callbacks either never return or do
successful do_execve() before returning.kernel_execve() is a wrapper for do_execve() - it doesn't need to
do transition to user mode anymore.As a result kernel_thread() and kernel_execve() are
arch-independent now - they live in kernel/fork.c and fs/exec.c
resp. sys_execve() is also in fs/exec.c and it's completely
architecture-independent.- daemonize() is gone, along with its parts in fs/*.c
- struct pt_regs * is no longer passed to do_fork/copy_process/
copy_thread/do_execve/search_binary_handler/->load_binary/do_coredump.- sys_fork()/sys_vfork()/sys_clone() unified; some architectures

In order to promote interoperability between userspace tracers and ftrace,
add a trace_clock that reports raw TSC values which will then be recorded
in the ring buffer. Userspace tracers that also record TSCs are then on
exactly the same time base as the kernel and events can be unambiguously
interlaced.Tested: Enabled a tracepoint and the "tsc" trace_clock and saw very large
timestamp values.v2:

The SO_ATTACH_FILTER option is set only. I propose to add the get
ability by using SO_ATTACH_FILTER in getsockopt. To be less
irritating to eyes the SO_GET_FILTER alias to it is declared. This
ability is required by checkpoint-restore project to be able to
save full state of a socket.There are two issues with getting filter back.
First, kernel modifies the sock_filter->code on filter load, thus in
order to return the filter element back to user we have to decode it
into user-visible constants. Fortunately the modification in question
is interconvertible.Second, the BPF_S_ALU_DIV_K code modifies the command argument k to
speed up the run-time division by doing kernel_k = reciprocal(user_k).
Bad news is that different user_k may result in same kernel_k, so we
can't get the original user_k back. Good news is that we don't have
to do it. What we need to is calculate a user2_k so, thatreciprocal(user2_k) == reciprocal(user_k) == kernel_k
i.e. if it's re-loaded back the compiled again value will be exactly
the same as it was. That said, the user2_k can be calculated like thisuser2_k = reciprocal(kernel_k)
with an exception, that if kernel_k == 0, then user2_k == 1.
The optlen argument is treated like this -- when zero, kernel returns
the amount of sock_fprog elements in filter, otherwise it should be
large enough for the sock_fprog array.changes since v1:
* Declared SO_GET_FILTER in all arch headers
* Added decode of vlan-tag codesSigned-off-by: Pavel Emelyanov

getname() is intended to copy pathname strings from userspace into a
kernel buffer. The result is just a string in kernel space. It would
however be quite helpful to be able to attach some ancillary info to
the string.For instance, we could attach some audit-related info to reduce the
amount of audit-related processing needed. When auditing is enabled,
we could also call getname() on the string more than once and not
need to recopy it from userspace.This patchset converts the getname()/putname() interfaces to return
a struct instead of a string. For now, the struct just tracks the
string in kernel space and the original userland pointer for it.Later, we'll add other information to the struct as it becomes
convenient.Signed-off-by: Jeff Layton

.fault now can retry. The retry can break state machine of .fault. In
filemap_fault, if page is miss, ra->mmap_miss is increased. In the second
try, since the page is in page cache now, ra->mmap_miss is decreased. And
these are done in one fault, so we can't detect random mmap file access.Add a new flag to indicate .fault is tried once. In the second try, skip
ra->mmap_miss decreasing. The filemap_fault state machine is ok with it.I only tested x86, didn't test other archs, but looks the change for other

personality flags across exec().This patch tries to fix all architectures that forcefully overwrite
personality flags during exec() (ppc32 and s390 have been fixed recently
by commits f9783ec862ea ("[S390] Do not clobber personality flags on
exec") and 59e4c3a2fe9c ("powerpc/32: Don't clobber personality flags on
exec") in a similar way already).Signed-off-by: Jiri Kosina

…s/linux-headers into asm-generic
Patches from David Howells <dhowells@redhat.com>:
This is to complete part of the UAPI disintegration for which the
preparatory patches were pulled recently.Note that there are some fixup patches which are at the base of the
branch aimed at you, plus all arches get the asm-generic branch merged in too.* 'disintegrate-asm-generic' of git://git.infradead.org/users/dhowells/linux-headers:
UAPI: (Scripted) Disintegrate include/asm-generic
UAPI: Fix conditional header installation handling (notably kvm_para.h on m68k)
c6x: remove c6x signal.h
UAPI: Split compound conditionals containing __KERNEL__ in Arm64
UAPI: Fix the guards on various asm/unistd.h filesSigned-off-by: Arnd Bergmann <arnd@arndb.de>

Pull preparatory patches for user API disintegration from David Howells:
"The patches herein prepare for the extraction of the Userspace API
bits from the various header files named in the Kbuild files.New subdirectories are created under either include/uapi/ or
arch/x/include/uapi/ that correspond to the subdirectory containing
that file under include/ or arch/x/include/.The new subdirs under the uapi/ directory are populated with Kbuild
files that mostly do nothing at this time. Further patches will
disintegrate the headers in each original directory and fill in the
Kbuild files as they do it.These patches also:
(1) fix up #inclusions of "foo.h" rather than .
(2) Remove some redundant #includes from the DRM code.
(3) Make the kernel build infrastructure handle Kbuild files both in
the old places and the new UAPI place that both specify headers
to be exported.(4) Fix some kernel tools that #include kernel headers during their
build.I have compile tested this with allyesconfig against x86_64,
allmodconfig against i386 and a scattering of additional defconfigs of
other arches. Prepared for main scriptSigned-off-by: David Howells

UAPI: Plumb the UAPI Kbuilds into the user header installation and checking
UAPI: x86: Differentiate the generated UAPI and internal headers

UAPI: Move linux/version.h
UAPI: Set up uapi/asm/Kbuild.asm
UAPI: x86: Fix insn_sanity build failure after UAPI split
UAPI: x86: Fix the test_get_len tool
UAPI: (Scripted) Set up UAPI Kbuild files
UAPI: Partition the header include path sets and add uapi/ header directories
UAPI: (Scripted) Convert #include "..." to #include in kernel system headers
UAPI: (Scripted) Convert #include "..." to #include in drivers/gpu/
UAPI: (Scripted) Remove redundant DRM UAPI header #inclusions from drivers/gpu/.
UAPI: Refer to the DRM UAPI headers with and from certain headers only -
Ease the deployment of clkdev by providing a default asm/clkdev.h for
use if the arch does not have an include/asm/clkdev.h.Due to limitations in Kbuild we manually add clkdev.h to all
architectures that don't have one rather than having the header appear
by default.Signed-off-by: Mark Brown
