Pull afs updates from David Howells:
"A collection of fixes to fix afs_cell struct refcounting, thereby
fixing a slew of related syzbot bugs:- Fix the cell tree in the netns to use an rwsem rather than RCU.
There seem to be some problems deriving from the use of RCU and a
seqlock to walk the rbtree, but it's not entirely clear what since
there are several different failures being seen.Changing things to use an rwsem instead makes it more robust. The
extra performance derived from using RCU isn't necessary in this
case since the only time we're looking up a cell is during mount or
when cells are being manually added.- Fix the refcounting by splitting the usage counter into a memory
refcount and an active users counter. The usage counter was doing
double duty, keeping track of whether a cell is still in use and
keeping track of when it needs to be destroyed - but this makes the
clean up tricky. Separating these out simplifies the logic.- Fix purging a cell that has an alias. A cell alias pins the cell
it's an alias of, but the alias is always later in the list. Trying
to purge in a single pass causes rmmod to hang in such a case.- Fix cell removal. If a cell's manager is requeued whilst it's
removing itself, the manager will run again and re-remove itself,
causing problems in various places. Follow Hillf Danton's
suggestion to insert a more terminal state that causes the manager
to do nothing post-removal.In additional to the above, two other changes:
- Add a tracepoint for the cell refcount and active users count. This
helped with debugging the above and may be useful again in future.- Downgrade an assertion to a print when a still-active server is
seen during purging. This was happening as a consequence of
incomplete cell removal before the servers were cleaned up"* tag 'afs-fixes-20201016' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/dhowells/linux-fs:

Pull f2fs updates from Jaegeuk Kim:
"In this round, we've added new features such as zone capacity for ZNS
and a new GC policy, ATGC, along with in-memory segment management. In
addition, we could improve the decompression speed significantly by
changing virtual mapping method. Even though we've fixed lots of small
bugs in compression support, I feel that it becomes more stable so
that I could give it a try in production.Enhancements:
- suport zone capacity in NVMe Zoned Namespace devices
- introduce in-memory current segment management
- add standart casefolding support
- support age threshold based garbage collection
- improve decompression speed by changing virtual mapping methodBug fixes:
- fix condition checks in some ioctl() such as compression, move_range, etc
- fix 32/64bits support in data structures
- fix memory allocation in zstd decompress
- add some boundary checks to avoid kernel panic on corrupted image
- fix disallowing compression for non-empty file

Pull documentation updates from Mauro Carvalho Chehab:
"A series of patches addressing warnings produced by make htmldocs.
This includes:- kernel-doc markup fixes
- ReST fixes
- Updates at the build system in order to support newer versions of
the docs build toolchain (Sphinx)After this series, the number of html build warnings should reduce
significantly, and building with Sphinx 3.1 or later should now be
supported (although it is still recommended to use Sphinx 2.4.4).As agreed with Jon, I should be sending you a late pull request by the
end of the merge window addressing remaining issues with docs build,
as there are a number of warning fixes that depends on pull requests
that should be happening along the merge window.The end goal is to have a clean htmldocs build on Kernel 5.10.

as it lacks support for C domain namespaces. Such feature, needed in
order to document uAPI system calls with Sphinx 3.x, was added only on

Patch series "add fault injection to user memory access", v3.
The goal of this series is to improve testing of fault-tolerance in usages
of user memory access functions, by adding support for fault injection.syzkaller/syzbot are using the existing fault injection modes and will use
this particular feature also.The first patch adds failure injection capability for usercopy functions.
The second changes usercopy functions to use this new failure capability
(copy_from_user, ...). The third patch adds get/put/clear_user failures
to x86.This patch (of 3):

When the kernel is compiled with Clang, -fsanitize=bounds expands to
-fsanitize=array-bounds and -fsanitize=local-bounds.Enabling -fsanitize=local-bounds with Clang has the unfortunate
side-effect of inserting traps; this goes back to its original intent,
which was as a hardening and not a debugging feature [1]. The same
feature made its way into -fsanitize=bounds, but the traps remained. For
that reason, -fsanitize=bounds was split into 'array-bounds' and
'local-bounds' [2].Since 'local-bounds' doesn't behave like a normal sanitizer, enable it
with Clang only if trapping behaviour was requested by
CONFIG_UBSAN_TRAP=y.Add the UBSAN_BOUNDS_LOCAL config to Kconfig.ubsan to enable the
'local-bounds' option by default when UBSAN_TRAP is enabled.[1] http://lists.llvm.org/pipermail/llvm-dev/2012-May/049972.html

to unpin_user_pages(), which expects nr_pages >= 0, else, disaster.Fix this by fixing the nesting of the assignment to nr_pages: nr_pages
should be clamped to zero if pin_user_pages_fast() returns -ERRNO, or set
to the return value of pin_user_pages_fast(), otherwise.[jhubbard@nvidia.com: new changelog]

In both binfmt_elf and binfmt_elf_fdpic, use a new helper
dump_vma_snapshot() to take a snapshot of the VMA list (including the gate
VMA, if we have one) while protected by the mmap_lock, and then use that
snapshot instead of walking the VMA list without locking.An alternative approach would be to keep the mmap_lock held across the
entire core dumping operation; however, keeping the mmap_lock locked while
we may be blocked for an unbounded amount of time (e.g. because we're
dumping to a FUSE filesystem or so) isn't really optimal; the mmap_lock
blocks things like the ->release handler of userfaultfd, and we don't
really want critical system daemons to grind to a halt just because
someone "gifted" them SCM_RIGHTS to an eternally-locked userfaultfd, or
something like that.Since both the normal ELF code and the FDPIC ELF code need this
functionality (and if any other binfmt wants to add coredump support in
the future, they'd probably need it, too), implement this with a common
helper in fs/coredump.c.A downside of this approach is that we now need a bigger amount of kernel
memory per userspace VMA in the normal ELF case, and that we need O(n)
kernel memory in the FDPIC ELF case at all; but 40 bytes per VMA shouldn't
be terribly bad.There currently is a data race between stack expansion and anything that
reads ->vm_start or ->vm_end under the mmap_lock held in read mode; to
mitigate that for core dumping, take the mmap_lock in write mode when
taking a snapshot of the VMA hierarchy. (If we only took the mmap_lock in
read mode, we could end up with a corrupted core dump if someone does
get_user_pages_remote() concurrently. Not really a major problem, but
taking the mmap_lock either way works here, so we might as well avoid the
issue.) (This doesn't do anything about the existing data races with stack
expansion in other mm code.)Signed-off-by: Jann Horn

At the moment, the binfmt_elf and binfmt_elf_fdpic code have slightly
different code to figure out which VMAs should be dumped, and if so,
whether the dump should contain the entire VMA or just its first page.Eliminate duplicate code by reworking the binfmt_elf version into a
generic core dumping helper in coredump.c.As part of that, change the heuristic for detecting executable/library
header pages to check whether the inode is executable instead of looking
at the file mode.This is less problematic in terms of locking because it lets us avoid
get_user() under the mmap_sem. (And arguably it looks nicer and makes
more sense in generic code.)Adjust a little bit based on the binfmt_elf_fdpic version: ->anon_vma is
only meaningful under CONFIG_MMU, otherwise we have to assume that the VMA
has been written to.Suggested-by: Linus Torvalds

Patch series "Fix ELF / FDPIC ELF core dumping, and use mmap_lock properly in there", v5.
At the moment, we have that rather ugly mmget_still_valid() helper to work
around : ELF core dumping doesn't
take the mmap_sem while traversing the task's VMAs, and if anything (like
userfaultfd) then remotely messes with the VMA tree, fireworks ensue. So
at the moment we use mmget_still_valid() to bail out in any writers that
might be operating on a remote mm's VMAs.With this series, I'm trying to get rid of the need for that as cleanly as
possible. ("cleanly" meaning "avoid holding the mmap_lock across
unbounded sleeps".)Patches 1, 2, 3 and 4 are relatively unrelated cleanups in the core
dumping code.Patches 5 and 6 implement the main change: Instead of repeatedly accessing
the VMA list with sleeps in between, we snapshot it at the start with
proper locking, and then later we just use our copy of the VMA list. This
ensures that the kernel won't crash, that VMA metadata in the coredump is
consistent even in the presence of concurrent modifications, and that any
virtual addresses that aren't being concurrently modified have their
contents show up in the core dump properly.The disadvantage of this approach is that we need a bit more memory during
core dumping for storing metadata about all VMAs.At the end of the series, patch 7 removes the old workaround for this
issue (mmget_still_valid()).I have tested:
- Creating a simple core dump on X86-64 still works.
- The created coredump on X86-64 opens in GDB and looks plausible.
- X86-64 core dumps contain the first page for executable mappings at
offset 0, and don't contain the first page for non-executable file
mappings or executable mappings at offset !=0.
- NOMMU 32-bit ARM can still generate plausible-looking core dumps
through the FDPIC implementation. (I can't test this with GDB because
GDB is missing some structure definition for nommu ARM, but I've
poked around in the hexdump and it looked decent.)This patch (of 7):
dump_emit() is for kernel pointers, and VMAs describe userspace memory.
Let's be tidy here and avoid accessing userspace pointers under KERNEL_DS,
even if it probably doesn't matter much on !MMU systems - especially given
that it looks like we can just use the same get_dump_page() as on MMU if
we move it out of the CONFIG_MMU block.One small change we have to make in get_dump_page() is to use
__get_user_pages_locked() instead of __get_user_pages(), since the latter
doesn't exist on nommu. On mmu builds, __get_user_pages_locked() will
just call __get_user_pages() for us.Signed-off-by: Jann Horn

The current ELF loading mechancism provides page-aligned mappings. This

transparent huge pages when handling PIE executables.While specifying -z,max-page-size=0x200000 to the linker will generate
suitably aligned segments for huge pages on x86_64, the executable needs
to be loaded at a suitably aligned address as well. This alignment
requires the binary's cooperation, as distinct segments need to be
appropriately paddded to be eligible for THP.For binaries built with increased alignment, this limits the number of
bits usable for ASLR, but provides some randomization over using fixed
load addresses/non-PIE binaries.This patch (of 2):
