commit fcbb8461fd2376ba3782b5b8bd440c929b8e4980 upstream.
There are both positive and negative options about this feature.
At first, I thought it was a good idea, but actually Linus stated a
negative opinion (https://lkml.org/lkml/2019/9/29/227). I admit it
is ugly and annoying.The baseline I'd like to keep is the compile-test of uapi headers.
(Otherwise, kernel developers have no way to ensure the correctness
of the exported headers.)I will maintain a small build rule in usr/include/Makefile.
Remove the other header test functionality.Signed-off-by: Masahiro Yamada

commit 87c9366e17259040a9118e06b6dc8de986e5d3d1 upstream.
This reverts commit 786b2384bf1c ("um: Enable CONFIG_CONSTRUCTORS").
There are two issues with this commit, uncovered by Anton in tests
on some (Debian) systems:1) I completely forgot to call any constructors if CONFIG_CONSTRUCTORS
isn't set. Don't recall now if it just wasn't needed on my system, or
if I never tested this case.2) With that fixed, it works - with CONFIG_CONSTRUCTORS *unset*. If I
set CONFIG_CONSTRUCTORS, it fails again, which isn't totally
unexpected since whatever wanted to run is likely to have to run
before the kernel init etc. that calls the constructors in this case.Basically, some constructors that gcc emits (libc has?) need to run
very early during init; the failure mode otherwise was that the ptrace
fork test already failed:----------------------
$ ./linux mem=512M
Core dump limits :
soft - 0
hard - NONE
Checking that ptrace can change system call numbers...check_ptrace : child exited with exitcode 6, while expecting 0; status 0x67f
Aborted
----------------------Thinking more about this, it's clear that we simply cannot support
CONFIG_CONSTRUCTORS in UML. All the cases we need now (gcov, kasan)
involve not use of the __attribute__((constructor)), but instead
some constructor code/entry generated by gcc. Therefore, we cannot
distinguish between kernel constructors and system constructors.Thus, revert this commit.

commit 8e57f8acbbd121ecfb0c9dc13b8b030f86c6bd3b upstream.
Commit 96a2b03f281d ("mm, debug_pagelloc: use static keys to enable
debugging") has introduced a static key to reduce overhead when
debug_pagealloc is compiled in but not enabled. It relied on the
assumption that jump_label_init() is called before parse_early_param()
as in start_kernel(), so when the "debug_pagealloc=on" option is parsed,
it is safe to enable the static key.However, it turns out multiple architectures call parse_early_param()
earlier from their setup_arch(). x86 also calls jump_label_init() even
earlier, so no issue was found while testing the commit, but same is not
true for e.g. ppc64 and s390 where the kernel would not boot with
debug_pagealloc=on as found by our QA.To fix this without tricky changes to init code of multiple
architectures, this patch partially reverts the static key conversion
from 96a2b03f281d. Init-time and non-fastpath calls (such as in arch
code) of debug_pagealloc_enabled() will again test a simple bool
variable. Fastpath mm code is converted to a new
debug_pagealloc_enabled_static() variant that relies on the static key,
which is enabled in a well-defined point in mm_init() where it's
guaranteed that jump_label_init() has been called, regardless of
architecture.[sfr@canb.auug.org.au: export _debug_pagealloc_enabled_early]

Pull kernel lockdown mode from James Morris:
"This is the latest iteration of the kernel lockdown patchset, from
Matthew Garrett, David Howells and others.From the original description:
This patchset introduces an optional kernel lockdown feature,
intended to strengthen the boundary between UID 0 and the kernel.
When enabled, various pieces of kernel functionality are restricted.
Applications that rely on low-level access to either hardware or the
kernel may cease working as a result - therefore this should not be
enabled without appropriate evaluation beforehand.The majority of mainstream distributions have been carrying variants
of this patchset for many years now, so there's value in providing a
doesn't meet every distribution requirement, but gets us much closer
to not requiring external patches.There are two major changes since this was last proposed for mainline:
- Separating lockdown from EFI secure boot. Background discussion is
covered here: https://lwn.net/Articles/751061/- Implementation as an LSM, with a default stackable lockdown LSM
module. This allows the lockdown feature to be policy-driven,
rather than encoding an implicit policy within the mechanism.The new locked_down LSM hook is provided to allow LSMs to make a
policy decision around whether kernel functionality that would allow
tampering with or examining the runtime state of the kernel should be
permitted.The included lockdown LSM provides an implementation with a simple
policy intended for general purpose use. This policy provides a coarse
level of granularity, controllable via the kernel command line:lockdown={integrity|confidentiality}
Enable the kernel lockdown feature. If set to integrity, kernel features
that allow userland to modify the running kernel are disabled. If set to
confidentiality, kernel features that allow userland to extract
confidential information from the kernel are also disabled.This may also be controlled via /sys/kernel/security/lockdown and
overriden by kernel configuration.New or existing LSMs may implement finer-grained controls of the
lockdown features. Refer to the lockdown_reason documentation in
include/linux/security.h for details.The lockdown feature has had signficant design feedback and review
across many subsystems. This code has been in linux-next for some
weeks, with a few fixes applied along the way.Stephen Rothwell noted that commit 9d1f8be5cf42 ("bpf: Restrict bpf
when kernel lockdown is in confidentiality mode") is missing a

Pull integrity updates from Mimi Zohar:
"The major feature in this time is IMA support for measuring and
appraising appended file signatures. In addition are a couple of bug
fixes and code cleanup to use struct_size().In addition to the PE/COFF and IMA xattr signatures, the kexec kernel
image may be signed with an appended signature, using the same
scripts/sign-file tool that is used to sign kernel modules.Similarly, the initramfs may contain an appended signature.
This contained a lot of refactoring of the existing appended signature
verification code, so that IMA could retain the existing framework of
calculating the file hash once, storing it in the IMA measurement list
and extending the TPM, verifying the file's integrity based on a file
hash or signature (eg. xattrs), and adding an audit record containing
the file hash, all based on policy. (The IMA support for appended
signatures patch set was posted and reviewed 11 times.)The support for appended signature paves the way for adding other
signature verification methods, such as fs-verity, based on a single
system-wide policy. The file hash used for verifying the signature and
the signature, itself, can be included in the IMA measurement list"* 'next-integrity' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/zohar/linux-integrity:

Currently kmemleak uses a static early_log buffer to trace all memory
allocation/freeing before the slab allocator is initialised. Such early
log is replayed during kmemleak_init() to properly initialise the kmemleak
metadata for objects allocated up that point. With a memory pool that
does not rely on the slab allocator, it is possible to skip this early log
entirely.In order to remove the early logging, consider kmemleak_enabled == 1 by
default while the kmem_cache availability is checked directly on the
object_cache and scan_area_cache variables. The RCU callback is only
invoked after object_cache has been initialised as we wouldn't have any
concurrent list traversal before this.In order to reduce the number of callbacks before kmemleak is fully
initialised, move the kmemleak_init() call to mm_init().[akpm@linux-foundation.org: coding-style fixes]

Pull modules updates from Jessica Yu:
"The main bulk of this pull request introduces a new exported symbol
namespaces feature. The number of exported symbols is increasingly
growing with each release (we're at about 31k exports as of 5.3-rc7)
and we currently have no way of visualizing how these symbols are
"clustered" or making sense of this huge export surface.Namespacing exported symbols allows kernel developers to more
explicitly partition and categorize exported symbols, as well as more
easily limiting the availability of namespaced symbols to other parts
of the kernel. For starters, we have introduced the USB_STORAGE
namespace to demonstrate the API's usage. I have briefly summarized
the feature and its main motivations in the tag below.Summary:
- Introduce exported symbol namespaces.
This new feature allows subsystem maintainers to partition and
categorize their exported symbols into explicit namespaces. Module
authors are now required to import the namespaces they need.Some of the main motivations of this feature include: allowing
kernel developers to better manage the export surface, allow
subsystem maintainers to explicitly state that usage of some
exported symbols should only be limited to certain users (think:
inter-module or inter-driver symbols, debugging symbols, etc), as
well as more easily limiting the availability of namespaced symbols
to other parts of the kernel.With the module import requirement, it is also easier to spot the
misuse of exported symbols during patch review.Two new macros are introduced: EXPORT_SYMBOL_NS() and
EXPORT_SYMBOL_NS_GPL(). The API is thoroughly documented in
Documentation/kbuild/namespaces.rst.- Some small code and kbuild cleanups here and there"

Pull asm inline support from Miguel Ojeda:
"Make use of gcc 9's "asm inline()" (Rasmus Villemoes):gcc 9+ (and gcc 8.3, 7.5) provides a way to override the otherwise
crude heuristic that gcc uses to estimate the size of the code
represented by an asm() statement. From the gcc docsIf you use 'asm inline' instead of just 'asm', then for inlining
purposes the size of the asm is taken as the minimum size, ignoring
how many instructions GCC thinks it is.For compatibility with older compilers, we obviously want a
#if [understands asm inline]
#define asm_inline asm inline
#else
#define asm_inline asm
#endifBut since we #define the identifier inline to attach some attributes,
we have to use an alternate spelling of that keyword. gcc provides
both __inline__ and __inline, and we currently #define both to inline,
so they all have the same semantics.We have to free up one of __inline__ and __inline, and the latter is
by far the easiest.The two x86 changes cause smaller code gen differences than I'd
expect, but I think we do want the asm_inline thing available sooner

We do need to call the constructors for *modules*, and
at least for KASAN in the future, we must call even the
kernel constructors only later when the kernel has been
initialized.Instead of relying on libc to call them, emit an empty
section for libc and let the kernel's CONSTRUCTORS code
do the rest of the job.Tested that it indeed doesn't work in modules, and does
work after the fixes in both, with a few functions with
__attribute__((constructor)) in both dynamic and static

This adds an asm_inline macro which expands to "asm inline" [1] when
the compiler supports it. This is currently gcc 9.1+, gcc 8.3
and (once released) gcc 7.5 [2]. It expands to just "asm" for other
compilers.Using asm inline("foo") instead of asm("foo") overrules gcc's
heuristic estimate of the size of the code represented by the asm()
statement, and makes gcc use the minimum possible size instead. That
can in turn affect gcc's inlining decisions.I wasn't sure whether to make this a function-like macro or not - this
way, it can be combined with volatile asasm_inline volatile()
but perhaps we'd prefer to spell that
asm_inline_volatile()
anyway.
The Kconfig logic is taken from an RFC patch by Masahiro Yamada [3].
[1] Technically, asm __inline, since both inline and __inline__
are macros that attach various attributes, making gcc barf if one
literally does "asm inline()". However, the third spelling __inline is
available for referring to the bare keyword.[2] https://lore.kernel.org/lkml/20190907001411.GG9749@gate.crashing.org/

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]

"Enable loadable module support", which is a better fit. I put it

If MODULE_ALLOW_MISSING_NAMESPACE_IMPORTS is enabled (default=n), the
requirement for modules to import all namespaces that are used by
the module is relaxed.Enabling this option effectively allows (invalid) modules to be loaded
while only a warning is emitted.Disabling this option keeps the enforcement at module loading time and
loading is denied if the module's imports are not satisfactory.Reviewed-by: Martijn Coenen

arch/arc/Makefile overrides -O2 with -O3. This is the only user of
ARCH_CFLAGS. There is no user of ARCH_CPPFLAGS or ARCH_AFLAGS.
My plan is to remove ARCH_{CPP,A,C}FLAGS after refactoring the ARC
Makefile.Currently, ARC has no way to enable -Wmaybe-uninitialized because both
-O3 and -Os disable it. Enabling it will be useful for compile-testing.
This commit allows allmodconfig (, which defaults to -O2) to enable it.Add CONFIG_CC_OPTIMIZE_FOR_PERFORMANCE_O3=y to all the defconfig files
in arch/arc/configs/ in order to keep the current config settings.Signed-off-by: Masahiro Yamada

The cgroup CPU bandwidth controller allows to assign a specified
(maximum) bandwidth to the tasks of a group. However this bandwidth is
defined and enforced only on a temporal base, without considering the
actual frequency a CPU is running on. Thus, the amount of computation
completed by a task within an allocated bandwidth can be very different
depending on the actual frequency the CPU is running that task.
The amount of computation can be affected also by the specific CPU a
task is running on, especially when running on asymmetric capacity
systems like Arm's big.LITTLE.With the availability of schedutil, the scheduler is now able
to drive frequency selections based on actual task utilization.
Moreover, the utilization clamping support provides a mechanism to
bias the frequency selection operated by schedutil depending on
constraints assigned to the tasks currently RUNNABLE on a CPU.Giving the mechanisms described above, it is now possible to extend the
cpu controller to specify the minimum (or maximum) utilization which
should be considered for tasks RUNNABLE on a cpu.
This makes it possible to better defined the actual computational
power assigned to task groups, thus improving the cgroup CPU bandwidth
controller which is currently based just on time constraints.Extend the CPU controller with a couple of new attributes uclamp.{min,max}
which allow to enforce utilization boosting and capping for all the
tasks in a group.Specifically:
- uclamp.min: defines the minimum utilization which should be considered
i.e. the RUNNABLE tasks of this group will run at least at a
minimum frequency which corresponds to the uclamp.min
utilization- uclamp.max: defines the maximum utilization which should be considered
i.e. the RUNNABLE tasks of this group will run up to a
maximum frequency which corresponds to the uclamp.max
utilizationThese attributes:
a) are available only for non-root nodes, both on default and legacy
hierarchies, while system wide clamps are defined by a generic
interface which does not depends on cgroups. This system wide
interface enforces constraints on tasks in the root node.b) enforce effective constraints at each level of the hierarchy which
are a restriction of the group requests considering its parent's
effective constraints. Root group effective constraints are defined
by the system wide interface.
This mechanism allows each (non-root) level of the hierarchy to:
- request whatever clamp values it would like to get
- effectively get only up to the maximum amount allowed by its parentc) have higher priority than task-specific clamps, defined via
sched_setattr(), thus allowing to control and restrict task requests.Add two new attributes to the cpu controller to collect "requested"
clamp values. Allow that at each non-root level of the hierarchy.
Keep it simple by not caring now about "effective" values computation
and propagation along the hierarchy.Update sysctl_sched_uclamp_handler() to use the newly introduced
uclamp_mutex so that we serialize system default updates with cgroup
relate updates.Signed-off-by: Patrick Bellasi

If the kernel is locked down, require that all modules have valid
signatures that we can verify.I have adjusted the errors generated:
(1) If there's no signature (ENODATA) or we can't check it (ENOPKG,
ENOKEY), then:(a) If signatures are enforced then EKEYREJECTED is returned.
(b) If there's no signature or we can't check it, but the kernel is
locked down then EPERM is returned (this is then consistent with
other lockdown cases).(2) If the signature is unparseable (EBADMSG, EINVAL), the signature fails
the check (EKEYREJECTED) or a system error occurs (eg. ENOMEM), we
return the error we got.Note that the X.509 code doesn't check for key expiry as the RTC might not
be valid or might not have been transferred to the kernel's clock yet.[Modified by Matthew Garrett to remove the IMA integration. This will

Commit 5cf896fb6be3 ("arm64: Add support for relocating the kernel with
RELR relocations") introduced CONFIG_TOOLS_SUPPORT_RELR, which checks
for RELR support in the toolchain as part of the kernel configuration.
During this procedure, "$(NM)" is invoked to see if it supports the new
relocation format, however PowerPC conditionally overrides this variable
in the architecture Makefile in order to pass '--synthetic' when
targetting PPC64.This conditional override causes Kconfig to recurse forever, since
CONFIG_TOOLS_SUPPORT_RELR cannot be determined without $(NM) being
defined, but that in turn depends on CONFIG_PPC64:$ make ARCH=powerpc CROSS_COMPILE=powerpc-linux-gnu-
scripts/kconfig/conf --syncconfig Kconfig
scripts/kconfig/conf --syncconfig Kconfig
scripts/kconfig/conf --syncconfig Kconfig
[...]In this particular case, it looks like PowerPC may be able to pass
'--synthetic' unconditionally to nm or even drop it altogether. While
that is being resolved, let's just bodge the RELR check by picking up
$(NM) directly from the environment in whatever state it happens to be
in.Cc: Peter Collingbourne

RELR is a relocation packing format for relative relocations.
The format is described in a generic-abi proposal:
https://groups.google.com/d/topic/generic-abi/bX460iggiKg/discussionThe LLD linker can be instructed to pack relocations in the RELR
format by passing the flag --pack-dyn-relocs=relr.This patch adds a new config option, CONFIG_RELR. Enabling this option
instructs the linker to pack vmlinux's relative relocations in the RELR
format, and causes the kernel to apply the relocations at startup along
with the RELA relocations. RELA relocations still need to be applied
because the linker will emit RELA relative relocations if they are
unrepresentable in the RELR format (i.e. address not a multiple of 2).Enabling CONFIG_RELR reduces the size of a defconfig kernel image
with CONFIG_RANDOMIZE_BASE by 3.5MB/16% uncompressed, or 550KB/5%
compressed (lz4).Signed-off-by: Peter Collingbourne
