commit 69e976831cd53f9ba304fd20305b2025ecc78eab upstream.
LLVM-built Linux triggered a boot hangup with KASLR enabled.
arch/mips/kernel/relocate.c:get_random_boot() uses linux_banner,
which is a string constant, as a random seed, but accesses it
as an array of unsigned long (in rotate_xor()).
When the address of linux_banner is not aligned to sizeof(long),
such access emits unaligned access exception and hangs the kernel.Use PTR_ALIGN() to align input address to sizeof(long) and also
align down the input length to prevent possible access-beyond-end.Fixes: 405bc8fd12f5 ("MIPS: Kernel: Implement KASLR using CONFIG_RELOCATABLE")

commit 698222457465ce343443be81c5512edda86e5914 upstream.
Patches that introduced NT_FILE and NT_SIGINFO notes back in 2012
had taken care of native (fs/binfmt_elf.c) and compat (fs/compat_binfmt_elf.c)
coredumps; unfortunately, compat on mips (which does not go through the
usual compat_binfmt_elf.c) had not been noticed.As the result, both N32 and O32 coredumps on 64bit mips kernels
have those sections malformed enough to confuse the living hell out of
all gdb and readelf versions (up to and including the tip of binutils-gdb.git).Longer term solution is to make both O32 and N32 compat use the
regular compat_binfmt_elf.c, but that's too much for backports. The minimal
solution is to do in arch/mips/kernel/binfmt_elf[on]32.c the same thing
those patches have done in fs/compat_binfmt_elf.cCc: stable@kernel.org # v3.7+

commit 4d4f9c1a17a3480f8fe523673f7232b254d724b7 upstream.
The compressed payload is not necesarily 4-byte aligned, at least when
compiling with Clang. In that case, the 4-byte value appended to the
compressed payload that corresponds to the uncompressed kernel image
size must be read using get_unaligned_le32().This fixes Clang-built kernels not booting on MIPS (tested on a Ingenic
JZ4770 board).Fixes: b8f54f2cde78 ("MIPS: ZBOOT: copy appended dtb to the end of the kernel")

When building mips tinyconfig with clang the following warning show up:

When BCM47XX_BCMA is enabled and BCMA_DRIVER_PCI is disabled, it results
in the following Kbuild warning:WARNING: unmet direct dependencies detected for BCMA_DRIVER_PCI_HOSTMODE

depends on BCMA_DRIVER_PCI. This can also fail building the kernel.Honor the kconfig dependency to remove unmet direct dependency warnings

Stack: (0xe376bbe0 to 0xe376c000)As it turns out, zsram needs to know the maximum memory size, which
is defined in MAX_PHYSMEM_BITS when CONFIG_SPARSEMEM is set, or in
MAX_POSSIBLE_PHYSMEM_BITS on the x86 architecture.The same problem will be hit on all 32-bit architectures that have a
physical address space larger than 4GB and happen to not enable sparsemem
and include asm/sparsemem.h from asm/pgtable.h.After the initial discussion, I suggested just always defining
MAX_POSSIBLE_PHYSMEM_BITS whenever CONFIG_PHYS_ADDR_T_64BIT is
set, or provoking a build error otherwise. This addresses all
configurations that can currently have this runtime bug, but
leaves all other configurations unchanged.I looked up the possible number of bits in source code and
datasheets, here is what I found:- on ARC, CONFIG_ARC_HAS_PAE40 controls whether 32 or 40 bits are used
- on ARM, CONFIG_LPAE enables 40 bit addressing, without it we never
support more than 32 bits, even though supersections in theory allow
up to 40 bits as well.
- on MIPS, some MIPS32r1 or later chips support 36 bits, and MIPS32r5
XPA supports up to 60 bits in theory, but 40 bits are more than
anyone will ever ship
- On PowerPC, there are three different implementations of 36 bit
addressing, but 32-bit is used without CONFIG_PTE_64BIT
- On RISC-V, the normal page table format can support 34 bit
addressing. There is no highmem support on RISC-V, so anything
above 2GB is unused, but it might be useful to eventually support
CONFIG_ZRAM for high pages.Fixes: 61989a80fb3a ("staging: zsmalloc: zsmalloc memory allocation library")

There is usecase that System Management Software(SMS) want to give a
memory hint like MADV_[COLD|PAGEEOUT] to other processes and in the
case of Android, it is the ActivityManagerService.The information required to make the reclaim decision is not known to the
app. Instead, it is known to the centralized userspace
daemon(ActivityManagerService), and that daemon must be able to initiate
reclaim on its own without any app involvement.To solve the issue, this patch introduces a new syscall
process_madvise(2). It uses pidfd of an external process to give the
hint. It also supports vector address range because Android app has
thousands of vmas due to zygote so it's totally waste of CPU and power if
we should call the syscall one by one for each vma.(With testing 2000-vma
syscall vs 1-vector syscall, it showed 15% performance improvement. I
think it would be bigger in real practice because the testing ran very
cache friendly environment).Another potential use case for the vector range is to amortize the cost
ofTLB shootdowns for multiple ranges when using MADV_DONTNEED; this could
benefit users like TCP receive zerocopy and malloc implementations. In
future, we could find more usecases for other advises so let's make it
happens as API since we introduce a new syscall at this moment. With
that, existing madvise(2) user could replace it with process_madvise(2)
with their own pid if they want to have batch address ranges support
feature.ince it could affect other process's address range, only privileged
process(PTRACE_MODE_ATTACH_FSCREDS) or something else(e.g., being the same
UID) gives it the right to ptrace the process could use it successfully.
The flag argument is reserved for future use if we need to extend the API.I think supporting all hints madvise has/will supported/support to
process_madvise is rather risky. Because we are not sure all hints make
sense from external process and implementation for the hint may rely on
the caller being in the current context so it could be error-prone. Thus,
I just limited hints as MADV_[COLD|PAGEOUT] in this patch.If someone want to add other hints, we could hear the usecase and review
it for each hint. It's safer for maintenance rather than introducing a
buggy syscall but hard to fix it later.So finally, the API is as follows,
ssize_t process_madvise(int pidfd, const struct iovec *iovec,
unsigned long vlen, int advice, unsigned int flags);DESCRIPTION
The process_madvise() system call is used to give advice or directions
to the kernel about the address ranges from external process as well as
local process. It provides the advice to address ranges of process
described by iovec and vlen. The goal of such advice is to improve
system or application performance.The pidfd selects the process referred to by the PID file descriptor
specified in pidfd. (See pidofd_open(2) for further information)The pointer iovec points to an array of iovec structures, defined in
as:struct iovec {
void *iov_base; /* starting address */
size_t iov_len; /* number of bytes to be advised */
};The iovec describes address ranges beginning at address(iov_base)
and with size length of bytes(iov_len).The vlen represents the number of elements in iovec.
The advice is indicated in the advice argument, which is one of the
following at this moment if the target process specified by pidfd is
external.MADV_COLD
MADV_PAGEOUTPermission to provide a hint to external process is governed by a
ptrace access mode PTRACE_MODE_ATTACH_FSCREDS check; see ptrace(2).The process_madvise supports every advice madvise(2) has if target
process is in same thread group with calling process so user could
use process_madvise(2) to extend existing madvise(2) to support
vector address ranges.RETURN VALUE
On success, process_madvise() returns the number of bytes advised.
This return value may be less than the total number of requested
bytes, if an error occurred. The caller should check return value
to determine whether a partial advice occurred.FAQ:
Q.1 - Why does any external entity have better knowledge?
Quote from Sandeep
"For Android, every application (including the special SystemServer)
are forked from Zygote. The reason of course is to share as many
libraries and classes between the two as possible to benefit from the
preloading during boot.After applications start, (almost) all of the APIs end up calling into
this SystemServer process over IPC (binder) and back to the
application.In a fully running system, the SystemServer monitors every single
process periodically to calculate their PSS / RSS and also decides
which process is "important" to the user for interactivity.So, because of how these processes start _and_ the fact that the
SystemServer is looping to monitor each process, it does tend to *know*
which address range of the application is not used / useful.Besides, we can never rely on applications to clean things up
themselves. We've had the "hey app1, the system is low on memory,
please trim your memory usage down" notifications for a long time[1].
They rely on applications honoring the broadcasts and very few do.So, if we want to avoid the inevitable killing of the application and
restarting it, some way to be able to tell the OS about unimportant
memory in these applications will be useful.- ssp
Q.2 - How to guarantee the race(i.e., object validation) between when
giving a hint from an external process and get the hint from the target
process?process_madvise operates on the target process's address space as it
exists at the instant that process_madvise is called. If the space
target process can run between the time the process_madvise process
inspects the target process address space and the time that
process_madvise is actually called, process_madvise may operate on
memory regions that the calling process does not expect. It's the
responsibility of the process calling process_madvise to close this
race condition. For example, the calling process can suspend the
target process with ptrace, SIGSTOP, or the freezer cgroup so that it
doesn't have an opportunity to change its own address space before
process_madvise is called. Another option is to operate on memory
regions that the caller knows a priori will be unchanged in the target
process. Yet another option is to accept the race for certain
process_madvise calls after reasoning that mistargeting will do no
harm. The suggested API itself does not provide synchronization. It
also apply other APIs like move_pages, process_vm_write.The race isn't really a problem though. Why is it so wrong to require
that callers do their own synchronization in some manner? Nobody
objects to write(2) merely because it's possible for two processes to
open the same file and clobber each other's writes --- instead, we tell
people to use flock or something. Think about mmap. It never
guarantees newly allocated address space is still valid when the user
tries to access it because other threads could unmap the memory right
before. That's where we need synchronization by using other API or
design from userside. It shouldn't be part of API itself. If someone
needs more fine-grained synchronization rather than process level,
there were two ideas suggested - cookie[2] and anon-fd[3]. Both are
applicable via using last reserved argument of the API but I don't
think it's necessary right now since we have already ways to prevent
the race so don't want to add additional complexity with more
fine-grained optimization model.To make the API extend, it reserved an unsigned long as last argument
so we could support it in future if someone really needs it.Q.3 - Why doesn't ptrace work?
Injecting an madvise in the target process using ptrace would not work
for us because such injected madvise would have to be executed by the
target process, which means that process would have to be runnable and
that creates the risk of the abovementioned race and hinting a wrong
VMA. Furthermore, we want to act the hint in caller's context, not the
callee's, because the callee is usually limited in cpuset/cgroups or
even freezed state so they can't act by themselves quick enough, which
causes more thrashing/kill. It doesn't work if the target process are
ptraced(e.g., strace, debugger, minidump) because a process can have at
most one ptracer.[1] https://developer.android.com/topic/performance/memory"

Pull networking updates from Jakub Kicinski:
- Add redirect_neigh() BPF packet redirect helper, allowing to limit
stack traversal in common container configs and improving TCP
back-pressure.Daniel reports ~10Gbps => ~15Gbps single stream TCP performance gain.
- Expand netlink policy support and improve policy export to user
space. (Ge)netlink core performs request validation according to
declared policies. Expand the expressiveness of those policies
(min/max length and bitmasks). Allow dumping policies for particular
commands. This is used for feature discovery by user space (instead
of kernel version parsing or trial and error).- Support IGMPv3/MLDv2 multicast listener discovery protocols in
bridge.- Allow more than 255 IPv4 multicast interfaces.
- Add support for Type of Service (ToS) reflection in SYN/SYN-ACK
packets of TCPv6.- In Multi-patch TCP (MPTCP) support concurrent transmission of data on
multiple subflows in a load balancing scenario. Enhance advertising
addresses via the RM_ADDR/ADD_ADDR options.- Support SMC-Dv2 version of SMC, which enables multi-subnet
deployments.- Allow more calls to same peer in RxRPC.
- Support two new Controller Area Network (CAN) protocols - CAN-FD and
ISO 15765-2:2016.- Add xfrm/IPsec compat layer, solving the 32bit user space on 64bit
kernel problem.- Add TC actions for implementing MPLS L2 VPNs.
- Improve nexthop code - e.g. handle various corner cases when nexthop
objects are removed from groups better, skip unnecessary
notifications and make it easier to offload nexthops into HW by
converting to a blocking notifier.- Support adding and consuming TCP header options by BPF programs,
opening the doors for easy experimental and deployment-specific TCP
option use.- Reorganize TCP congestion control (CC) initialization to simplify
life of TCP CC implemented in BPF.- Add support for shipping BPF programs with the kernel and loading
them early on boot via the User Mode Driver mechanism, hence reusing
all the user space infra we have.- Support sleepable BPF programs, initially targeting LSM and tracing.
- Add bpf_d_path() helper for returning full path for given 'struct
path'.- Make bpf_tail_call compatible with bpf-to-bpf calls.
- Allow BPF programs to call map_update_elem on sockmaps.
- Add BPF Type Format (BTF) support for type and enum discovery, as
well as support for using BTF within the kernel itself (current use
is for pretty printing structures).- Support listing and getting information about bpf_links via the bpf
syscall.- Enhance kernel interfaces around NIC firmware update. Allow
specifying overwrite mask to control if settings etc. are reset
during update; report expected max time operation may take to users;
support firmware activation without machine reboot incl. limits of
how much impact reset may have (e.g. dropping link or not).- Extend ethtool configuration interface to report IEEE-standard
counters, to limit the need for per-vendor logic in user space.- Adopt or extend devlink use for debug, monitoring, fw update in many
drivers (dsa loop, ice, ionic, sja1105, qed, mlxsw, mv88e6xxx,
dpaa2-eth).- In mlxsw expose critical and emergency SFP module temperature alarms.
Refactor port buffer handling to make the defaults more suitable and
support setting these values explicitly via the DCBNL interface.- Add XDP support for Intel's igb driver.

mscc_ocelot switches.- Add PTP support for Marvell Octeontx2 and PP2.2 hardware, as well as
fixed interval period pulse generator and one-step timestamping in
dpaa-eth.- Add support for various auth offloads in WiFi APs, e.g. SAE (WPA3)
offload.- Add Lynx PHY/PCS MDIO module, and convert various drivers which have
this HW to use it. Convert mvpp2 to split PCS.- Support Marvell Prestera 98DX3255 24-port switch ASICs, as well as
7-port Mediatek MT7531 IP.- Add initial support for QCA6390 and IPQ6018 in ath11k WiFi driver,
and wcn3680 support in wcn36xx.- Improve performance for packets which don't require much offloads on
recent Mellanox NICs by 20% by making multiple packets share a
descriptor entry.- Move chelsio inline crypto drivers (for TLS and IPsec) from the
crypto subtree to drivers/net. Move MDIO drivers out of the phy
directory.- Clean up a lot of W=1 warnings, reportedly the actively developed
subsections of networking drivers should now build W=1 warning free.- Make sure drivers don't use in_interrupt() to dynamically adapt their

Disabling lock debugging due to kernel taintcaused by an attempt to free bootmem space that as from
commit b93ddc4f9156 ("mips: Reserve memory for the kernel image resources")
has not been anymore reserved due to the removal of generic MIPS arch code
that used to reserve all the memory from the beginning of RAM up to the
kernel load address.This memory does need to be reserved on DEC platforms however as it is
used by REX firmware as working area, as per the TURBOchannel firmware
specification[1]:Table 2-2 REX Memory Regions
-------------------------------------------------------------------------

1) Note that the last 3 Kbytes of region 2 are reserved for backward
compatibility with previous system software.
-------------------------------------------------------------------------(this table uses KSEG2 unmapped virtual addresses, which in the MIPS
architecture are offset from physical addresses by a fixed value of
0xa0000000 and therefore the regions referred do correspond to the
beginning of the physical address space) and we call into the firmware
on several occasions throughout the bootstrap process. It is believed
that pre-REX firmware used with non-TURBOchannel DEC platforms has the
same requirements, as hinted by note #1 cited.Recreate the discarded reservation then, in DEC platform code, removing
the crash.References:

Some of these ralink devices come with an ancient u-boot which can't
extract LZMA properly when image gets too big.
Enable zboot support to get a self-extracting kernel instead of relying
on broken u-boot support.Signed-off-by: Chuanhong Guo

While it is true that Ingenic SoCs support huge pages, we cannot use
them yet as PTEs don't have any single bit that is free. Right now,
having that symbol only causes build errors, so remove it until the
situation with PTEs is resolved.Fixes: f0f4a753079c ("MIPS: generic: Add support for Ingenic SoCs")

Pull compat mount cleanups from Al Viro:
"The last remnants of mount(2) compat buried by Christoph.Buried into NFS, that is.
Generally I'm less enthusiastic about "let's use in_compat_syscall()
deep in call chain" kind of approach than Christoph seems to be, but
in this case it's warranted - that had been an NFS-specific wart,
hopefully not to be repeated in any other filesystems (read: any new
filesystem introducing non-text mount options will get NAKed even if
it doesn't mess the layout up).IOW, not worth trying to grow an infrastructure that would avoid that
use of in_compat_syscall()..."* 'compat.mount' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/viro/vfs:

Pull orphan section checking from Ingo Molnar:
"Orphan link sections were a long-standing source of obscure bugs,
because the heuristics that various linkers & compilers use to handle
them (include these bits into the output image vs discarding them
silently) are both highly idiosyncratic and also version dependent.Instead of this historically problematic mess, this tree by Kees Cook
(et al) adds build time asserts and build time warnings if there's any
orphan section in the kernel or if a section is not sized as expected.And because we relied on so many silent assumptions in this area, fix
a metric ton of dependencies and some outright bugs related to this,
before we can finally enable the checks on the x86, ARM and ARM64
platforms"* tag 'core-build-2020-10-12' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/tip/tip: (36 commits)
