When building the argv/envp pointers, the envp is needlessly
pre-incremented instead of just continuing after the argv pointers are
finished. In some (likely impossible) race where the strings could be
changed from userspace between copy_strings() and here, it might be
possible to confuse the envp position. Instead, just use sp like
everything else.Link: http://lkml.kernel.org/r/20170622173838.GA43308@beast

The ELF_ET_DYN_BASE position was originally intended to keep loaders
away from ET_EXEC binaries. (For example, running "/lib/ld-linux.so.2
/bin/cat" might cause the subsequent load of /bin/cat into where the
loader had been loaded.)With the advent of PIE (ET_DYN binaries with an INTERP Program Header),
ELF_ET_DYN_BASE continued to be used since the kernel was only looking
at ET_DYN. However, since ELF_ET_DYN_BASE is traditionally set at the
top 1/3rd of the TASK_SIZE, a substantial portion of the address space
is unused.For 32-bit tasks when RLIMIT_STACK is set to RLIM_INFINITY, programs are
loaded above the mmap region. This means they can be made to collide
(CVE-2017-1000370) or nearly collide (CVE-2017-1000371) with
pathological stack regions.Lowering ELF_ET_DYN_BASE solves both by moving programs below the mmap
region in all cases, and will now additionally avoid programs falling
back to the mmap region by enforcing MAP_FIXED for program loads (i.e.
if it would have collided with the stack, now it will fail to load
instead of falling back to the mmap region).To allow for a lower ELF_ET_DYN_BASE, loaders (ET_DYN without INTERP)
are loaded into the mmap region, leaving space available for either an
ET_EXEC binary with a fixed location or PIE being loaded into mmap by
the loader. Only PIE programs are loaded offset from ELF_ET_DYN_BASE,
which means architectures can now safely lower their values without risk
of loaders colliding with their subsequently loaded programs.For 64-bit, ELF_ET_DYN_BASE is best set to 4GB to allow runtimes to use
the entire 32-bit address space for 32-bit pointers.Thanks to PaX Team, Daniel Micay, and Rik van Riel for inspiration and
suggestions on how to implement this solution.Fixes: d1fd836dcf00 ("mm: split ET_DYN ASLR from mmap ASLR")

We've encountered zombies that are waiting for a thread to exit that are
looping in ep_poll() almost endlessly although there is a pending
SIGKILL as a result of a group exit.This happens because we always find ep_events_available() and fetch more
events and never are able to check for signal_pending() that would break
from the loop and return -EINTR.Special case fatal signals and break immediately to guarantee that we
loop to fetch more events and delay making a timely exit.It would also be possible to simply move the check for signal_pending()
higher than checking for ep_events_available(), but there have been no
reports of delayed signal handling other than SIGKILL preventing zombies
from exiting that would be fixed by this.It fixes an issue for us where we have witnessed zombies sticking around
for at least O(minutes), but considering the code has been like this
forever and nobody else has complained that I have found, I would simply
queue it up for 4.12.Link: http://lkml.kernel.org/r/alpine.DEB.2.10.1705031722350.76784@chino.kir.corp.google.com

Currently me_huge_page() relies on dequeue_hwpoisoned_huge_page() to
keep the error hugepage away from the system, which is OK but not good
enough because the hugepage still has a refcount and unpoison doesn't
work on the error hugepage (PageHWPoison flags are cleared but pages are
still leaked.) And there's "wasting health subpages" issue too. This
patch reworks on me_huge_page() to solve these issues.For hugetlb file, recently we have truncating code so let's use it in
hugetlbfs specific ->error_remove_page().For anonymous hugepage, it's helpful to dissolve the error page after
freeing it into free hugepage list. Migration entry and PageHWPoison in
the head page prevent the access to it.TODO: dissolve_free_huge_page() can fail but we don't considered it yet.
It's not critical (and at least no worse that now) because in such case
the error hugepage just stays in free hugepage list without being
dissolved. By virtue of PageHWPoison in head page, it's never allocated
to processes.[akpm@linux-foundation.org: fix unused var warnings]

To install a buffer_head into the cpu's LRU queue, bh_lru_install()
would construct a new copy of the queue and then memcpy it over the real
queue. But it's easily possible to do the update in-place, which is
faster and simpler. Some work can also be skipped if the buffer_head
was already in the queue.As a microbenchmark I timed how long it takes to run sb_getblk()
10,000,000 times alternating between BH_LRU_SIZE + 1 blocks.
Effectively, this benchmarks looking up buffer_heads that are in the
page cache but not in the LRU:Before this patch: 1.758s
After this patch: 1.653sThis patch also removes about 350 bytes of compiled code (on x86_64),
partly due to removal of the memcpy() which was being inlined+unrolled.Link: http://lkml.kernel.org/r/20161229193445.1913-1-ebiggers3@gmail.com

btrfs: nowait aio: Correct assignment of pos
10 Jul, 2017
5 commits
-
Assigning pos for usage early messes up in append mode, where the pos is
re-assigned in generic_write_checks(). Assign pos later to get the
correct position to write from iocb->ki_pos.Since check_can_nocow also uses the value of pos, we shift
generic_write_checks() before check_can_nocow(). Checks with IOCB_DIRECT
are present in generic_write_checks(), so checking for IOCB_NOWAIT is
enough.Also, put locking sequence in the fast path.
This fixes a user visible bug, as reported:
"apparently breaks several shell related features on my system.
In zsh history stopped working, because no new entries are added

Pull Writeback error handling updates from Jeff Layton:
"This pile represents the bulk of the writeback error handling fixes
that I have for this cycle. Some of the earlier patches in this pile
may look trivial but they are prerequisites for later patches in the
series.The aim of this set is to improve how we track and report writeback
errors to userland. Most applications that care about data integrity
will periodically call fsync/fdatasync/msync to ensure that their
writes have made it to the backing store.For a very long time, we have tracked writeback errors using two flags
in the address_space: AS_EIO and AS_ENOSPC. Those flags are set when a
writeback error occurs (via mapping_set_error) and are cleared as a
side-effect of filemap_check_errors (as you noted yesterday). This
model really sucks for userland.Only the first task to call fsync (or msync or fdatasync) will see the
error. Any subsequent task calling fsync on a file will get back 0
(unless another writeback error occurs in the interim). If I have
several tasks writing to a file and calling fsync to ensure that their
writes got stored, then I need to have them coordinate with one
another. That's difficult enough, but in a world of containerized
setups that coordination may even not be possible.But wait...it gets worse!
The calls to filemap_check_errors can be buried pretty far down in the
call stack, and there are internal callers of filemap_write_and_wait
and the like that also end up clearing those errors. Many of those
callers ignore the error return from that function or return it to
userland at nonsensical times (e.g. truncate() or stat()). If I get
back -EIO on a truncate, there is no reason to think that it was
because some previous writeback failed, and a subsequent fsync() will
(incorrectly) return 0.This pile aims to do three things:
1) ensure that when a writeback error occurs that that error will be
reported to userland on a subsequent fsync/fdatasync/msync call,
regardless of what internal callers are doing2) report writeback errors on all file descriptions that were open at
the time that the error occurred. This is a user-visible change,
but I think most applications are written to assume this behavior
anyway. Those that aren't are unlikely to be hurt by it.3) document what filesystems should do when there is a writeback
error. Today, there is very little consistency between them, and a
lot of cargo-cult copying. We need to make it very clear what
filesystems should do in this situation.To achieve this, the set adds a new data type (errseq_t) and then
builds new writeback error tracking infrastructure around that. Once
all of that is in place, we change the filesystems to use the new
infrastructure for reporting wb errors to userland.Note that this is just the initial foray into cleaning up this mess.
There is a lot of work remaining here:1) convert the rest of the filesystems in a similar fashion. Once the
initial set is in, then I think most other fs' will be fairly
simple to convert. Hopefully most of those can in via individual
filesystem trees.2) convert internal waiters on writeback to use errseq_t for
detecting errors instead of relying on the AS_* flags. I have some
draft patches for this for ext4, but they are not quite ready for
prime time yet.This was a discussion topic this year at LSF/MM too. If you're
interested in the gory details, LWN has some good articles about this:https://lwn.net/Articles/718734/

In quite a few places we call xfs_da_read_buf with a mappedbno that we

code or a buffer pointer. Unfortunately, if mappedbno == -2 and bno
maps to a hole, we get a return code of zero and a NULL buffer, which
means that we crash if we actually try to use that buffer pointer. This
happens immediately when we set the buffer type for transaction context.Therefore, check that we have no error code and a non-NULL bp before
trying to use bp. This patch is a follow-up to an incomplete fix in

handling for file locking. Apparently very few people run 32-bit user
space on x86 any more, so the PPC people got the honor of noticing this
"feature".Michael also sent a minimal diff that just changed the order of the
arguments in that macro.This is not that minimal diff.
This not only changes the order of the arguments in the macro, it also
changes them to be pointers (to be consistent with all the other uses of
those pointers), and makes the functions that do all of this also have
the proper "const" attribution on the source pointers in order to make
issues like that (using the source as a destination) be really obvious.Reported-by: Michael Ellerman

Before commit 88ffbf3e03 "GFS2: Use resizable hash table for glocks",
glocks were freed via call_rcu to allow reading the glock hashtable
locklessly using rcu. This was then changed to free glocks immediately,
which made reading the glock hashtable unsafe. Bring back the original
code for freeing glocks via call_rcu.Signed-off-by: Andreas Gruenbacher

Pull libnvdimm updates from Dan Williams:
"libnvdimm updates for the latest ACPI and UEFI specifications. This
pull request also includes new 'struct dax_operations' enabling to
undo the abuse of copy_user_nocache() for copy operations to pmem.The dax work originally missed 4.12 to address concerns raised by Al.
Summary:
- Introduce the _flushcache() family of memory copy helpers and use
them for persistent memory write operations on x86. The
_flushcache() semantic indicates that the cache is either bypassed
for the copy operation (movnt) or any lines dirtied by the copy
operation are written back (clwb, clflushopt, or clflush).- Extend dax_operations with ->copy_from_iter() and ->flush()
operations. These operations and other infrastructure updates allow
all persistent memory specific dax functionality to be pushed into
libnvdimm and the pmem driver directly. It also allows dax-specific
sysfs attributes to be linked to a host device, for example:
/sys/block/pmem0/dax/write_cache- Add support for the new NVDIMM platform/firmware mechanisms
introduced in ACPI 6.2 and UEFI 2.7. This support includes the v1.2
namespace label format, extensions to the address-range-scrub
command set, new error injection commands, and a new BTT
(block-translation-table) layout. These updates support inter-OS
and pre-OS compatibility.- Fix a longstanding memory corruption bug in nfit_test.
- Make the pmem and nvdimm-region 'badblocks' sysfs files poll(2)
capable.- Miscellaneous fixes and small updates across libnvdimm and the nfit
driver.Acknowledgements that came after the branch was pushed: commit

XFS has a maximum symlink target length of 1024 bytes; this is a
holdover from the Irix days. Unfortunately, the constant establishing
this is 'MAXPATHLEN' and is /not/ the same as the Linux MAXPATHLEN,
which is 4096.The kernel enforces its 1024 byte MAXPATHLEN on symlink targets, but
xfsprogs picks up the (Linux) system 4096 byte MAXPATHLEN, which means
that xfs_repair doesn't complain about oversized symlinks.Since this is an on-disk format constraint, put the define in the XFS
namespace and move everything over to use the new name.Signed-off-by: Darrick J. Wong

Pull misc compat stuff updates from Al Viro:
"This part is basically untangling various compat stuff. Compat
syscalls moved to their native counterparts, getting rid of quite a
bit of double-copying and/or set_fs() uses. A lot of field-by-field
copyin/copyout killed off.- kernel/compat.c is much closer to containing just the
copyin/copyout of compat structs. Not all compat syscalls are gone
from it yet, but it's getting there.- ipc/compat_mq.c killed off completely.
- block/compat_ioctl.c cleaned up; floppy compat ioctls moved to
drivers/block/floppy.c where they belong. Yes, there are several
drivers that implement some of the same ioctls. Some are m68k and
one is 32bit-only pmac. drivers/block/floppy.c is the only one in

A poisoned or migrated hugepage is stored as a swap entry in the page
tables. On architectures that support hugepages consisting of
contiguous page table entries (such as on arm64) this leads to ambiguity
in determining the page table entry to return in huge_pte_offset() when
a poisoned entry is encountered.Let's remove the ambiguity by adding a size parameter to convey
additional information about the requested address. Also fixup the
definition/usage of huge_pte_offset() throughout the tree.Link: http://lkml.kernel.org/r/20170522133604.11392-4-punit.agrawal@arm.com
