There is no good reason for __bdevname to exist. Just open code
printing the string in the callers. For three of them the format
string can be trivially merged into existing printk statements,
and in init/do_mounts.c we can at least do the scnprintf once at
the start of the function, and unconditional of CONFIG_BLOCK to
make the output for tiny configfs a little more helpful.Acked-by: Theodore Ts'o # for ext4

The "trivial conversion" in commit cccaa5e33525 ("init: use do_mount()
instead of ksys_mount()") was totally broken, since it didn't handle the
case of a NULL mount data pointer. And while I had "tested" it (and
presumably Dominik had too) that bug was hidden by me having options.Cc: Dominik Brodowski

In prepare_namespace(), do_mount() can be used instead of ksys_mount()
as the first and third argument are const strings in the kernel, the
second and fourth argument are passed through anyway, and the fifth
argument is NULL.In do_mount_root(), ksys_mount() is called with the first and third
argument being already kernelspace strings, which do not need to be
copied over from userspace to kernelspace (again). The second and
fourth arguments are passed through to do_mount() anyway. The fifth
argument, while already residing in kernelspace, needs to be put into
a page of its own. Then, do_mount() can be used instead of
ksys_mount().Once this is done, there are no in-kernel users to ksys_mount() left,
which can therefore be removed.Signed-off-by: Dominik Brodowski

In devtmpfs, do_mount() can be called directly instead of complex wrapping
by ksys_mount():
- the first and third arguments are const strings in the kernel,
and do not need to be copied over from userspace;
- the fifth argument is NULL, and therefore no page needs to be
copied over from userspace;
- the second and fourth argument are passed through anyway.Signed-off-by: Dominik Brodowski

Convert the ramfs, shmem, tmpfs, devtmpfs and rootfs filesystems to the new
internal mount API as the old one will be obsoleted and removed. This
allows greater flexibility in communication of mount parameters between
userspace, the VFS and the filesystem.See Documentation/filesystems/mount_api.txt for more information.
Note that tmpfs is slightly tricky as it can contain embedded commas, so it
can't be trivially split up using strsep() to break on commas in
generic_parse_monolithic(). Instead, tmpfs has to supply its own generic
parser.However, if tmpfs changes, then devtmpfs and rootfs, which are wrappers
around tmpfs or ramfs, must change too - and thus so must ramfs, so these
had to be converted also.[AV: rewritten]

No point having two call sites (earlier in init_rootfs() from

init_mount_tree() can get to rootfs_fs_type directly and that simplifies
a lot of things. We don't need to register it, we don't need to look
it up *and* we don't need to bother with preventing subsequent userland
mounts. That's the way we should've done that from the very beginning.There is a user-visible change, namely the disappearance of "rootfs"
from /proc/filesystems. Note that it's been unmountable all along
and it didn't show up in /proc/mounts; however, it *is* a user-visible
change and theoretically some script might've been using its presence
in /proc/filesystems to tell 2.4.11+ from earlier kernels.*IF* any complaints about behaviour change do show up, we could fake
it in /proc/filesystems. I very much doubt we'll have to, though.Signed-off-by: Al Viro

Support referencing the root partition label from GPT as argument
to the root= option on the kernel command line in analogy to
referencing the partition uuid as root=PARTUUID=.Specifying the partition label instead of the uuid is often much
easier, e.g. in embedded environments when there is an
A/B rootfs partition scheme for interruptible firmware updates
(i.e. rootfsA/ rootfsB).The partition label can be queried with the blkid command.

Sparse checking used to be disabled on init/do_mounts.c and a few related
files because "Many of the syscalls used in this file expect some of the
arguments to be __user pointers not __kernel pointers".However since 28128c61e ("kconfig.h: Include compiler types to avoid
missed struct attributes") the checks are, in fact, not disabled anymore
because of the more early include of "linux/compiler_types.h"So remove the now ineffective #undefery that was done to disable these
warnings, as well as the associated comment.Link: http://lkml.kernel.org/r/20180617115355.53799-1-luc.vanoostenryck@gmail.com

Using this helper allows us to avoid the in-kernel calls to the

is meant as a drop-in replacement for the syscall. In particular, it
uses the same calling convention as sys_read().This patch is part of a series which removes in-kernel calls to syscalls.

Differentiate the MS_* flags passed to mount(2) from the internal flags set
in the super_block's s_flags. s_flags are now called SB_*, with the names
and the values for the moment mirroring the MS_* flags that they're
equivalent to.In this patch, just the headers are altered and some kernel code where
blind automated conversion isn't necessarily correct.Note that this shows up some interesting issues:
(1) Some MS_* flags get translated to MNT_* flags (such as MS_NODEV ->
MNT_NODEV) without passing this on to the filesystem, but some
filesystems set such flags anyway.(2) The ->remount_fs() methods of some filesystems adjust the *flags
argument by setting MS_* flags in it, such as MS_NOATIME - but these
flags are then scrubbed by do_remount_sb() (only the occupants of
MS_RMT_MASK are permitted: MS_RDONLY, MS_SYNCHRONOUS, MS_MANDLOCK,
MS_I_VERSION and MS_LAZYTIME)I'm not sure what's the best way to solve all these cases.

Commit 283e7ad02 ("init: stricter checking of major:minor root=
values") was so strict that it exposed the fact that a previously
unknown device format was being used.Distributions like Ubuntu uses klibc (rather than uswsusp) to resume
system from hibernation. klibc expressed the swap partition/file in
the form of major:minor:offset. For example, 8:3:0 represents a swap
partition in klibc, and klibc's resume process in initrd will finally
echo 8:3:0 to /sys/power/resume for manually resuming. However, due
to commit 283e7ad02's stricter checking, 8:3:0 will be treated as an
invalid device format, and manual resuming from hibernation will fail.Fix this by adding support for devices with major:minor:offset format
when resuming from hibernation.Reported-by: Prigent, Christophe

If mount flags don't have MS_RDONLY, iso9660 returns EACCES without actually
checking if it's an iso image.This tricks mount_block_root() into retrying with MS_RDONLY. This results
in a read-only root despite the "rw" boot parameter if the actual
filesystem was checked after iso9660.I believe the behavior of iso9660 is okay, while that of mount_block_root()
is not. It should rather try all types without MS_RDONLY and only then
retry with MS_RDONLY.This change also makes the code more robust against the case when EACCES is
returned despite MS_RDONLY, which would've resulted in a lockup.Signed-off-by: Miklos Szeredi
