commit 3c00cb5e68dc719f2fc73a33b1b230aadfcb1309 upstream.
This function can leak kernel stack data when the user siginfo_t has a
positive si_code value. The top 16 bits of si_code descibe which fields
in the siginfo_t union are active, but they are treated inconsistently
between copy_siginfo_from_user32, copy_siginfo_to_user32 and
copy_siginfo_to_user.copy_siginfo_from_user32 is called from rt_sigqueueinfo and
rt_tgsigqueueinfo in which the user has full control overthe top 16 bits
of si_code.This fixes the following information leaks:
x86: 8 bytes leaked when sending a signal from a 32-bit process to
itself. This leak grows to 16 bytes if the process uses x32.
(si_code = __SI_CHLD)
x86: 100 bytes leaked when sending a signal from a 32-bit process to
a 64-bit process. (si_code = -1)
sparc: 4 bytes leaked when sending a signal from a 32-bit process to a
64-bit process. (si_code = any)parsic and s390 have similar bugs, but they are not vulnerable because
rt_[tg]sigqueueinfo have checks that prevent sending a positive si_code
to a different process. These bugs are also fixed for consistency.Signed-off-by: Amanieu d'Antras

Pull arch/tile updates from Chris Metcalf:
"These are mostly nohz_full changes, plus a smattering of minor fixes
(notably a couple for ftrace)"* git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/cmetcalf/linux-tile:
tile: nohz: warn if nohz_full uses hypervisor shared cores
tile: ftrace: fix function_graph tracer issues

tile: use si_int instead of si_ptr for compat_siginfo -
The "hypervisor shared" cores are ones that the Tilera hypervisor
uses to receive interrupts to manage hypervisor-owned devices.
It's a bad idea to try to use those cores with nohz_full, since
they will get interrupted unpredictably -- and invisibly to Linux
tracing tools, since the interrupts are delivered at a higher
privilege level to the Tilera hypervisor.Generate a clear warning at boot up that this doesn't end well
for the nohz_full cores in question.Signed-off-by: Chris Metcalf

In the future mm->exe_file will be done without mmap_sem
serialization, thus isolate and reorganize the tile elf
code to make the transition easier. Good users will, make
use of the more standard get_mm_exe_file(), requiring only
holding the mmap_sem to read the value, and relying on reference
counting to make sure that the exe file won't dissappear
underneath us.The visible effects of this patch are:
o We now take and drop the mmap_sem more often. Instead of
just in arch_setup_additional_pages(), we also do it in:1) get_mm_exe_file()
2) to get the mm->vm_file and notify the simulator.[Note that 1) will disappear once we change the locking
rules for exe_file.]o We avoid getting a free page and doing d_path() while
holding the mmap_sem. This requires reordering the checks.Signed-off-by: Davidlohr Bueso

To be compatible with the generic get_compat_sigevent(), the
copy_siginfo_to_user32() and thus copy_siginfo_from_user32()
have to use si_int instead of si_ptr. Using si_ptr means that
for the case of ILP32 compat code running in big-endian mode,
we would end up copying the high 32 bits of the pointer value

Previously, pci_scan_root_bus() created a root PCI bus, enumerated the
devices on it, and called pci_bus_add_devices(), which made the devices
available for drivers to claim them.Most callers assigned resources to devices after pci_scan_root_bus()
returns, which may be after drivers have claimed the devices. This is
incorrect; the PCI core should not change device resources while a driver
is managing the device.Remove pci_bus_add_devices() from pci_scan_root_bus() and do it after any
resource assignment in the callers.Note that ARM's pci_common_init_dev() already called pci_bus_add_devices()
after pci_scan_root_bus(), so we only need to remove the first call:pci_common_init_dev

If an attacker can cause a controlled kernel stack overflow, overwriting
the restart block is a very juicy exploit target. This is because the
restart_block is held in the same memory allocation as the kernel stack.Moving the restart block to struct task_struct prevents this exploit by
making the restart_block harder to locate.Note that there are other fields in thread_info that are also easy
targets, at least on some architectures.It's also a decent simplification, since the restart code is more or less
identical on all architectures.[james.hogan@imgtec.com: metag: align thread_info::supervisor_stack]

Currently we have many duplicates in definitions around
follow_huge_addr(), follow_huge_pmd(), and follow_huge_pud(), so this
patch tries to remove the m. The basic idea is to put the default
implementation for these functions in mm/hugetlb.c as weak symbols
(regardless of CONFIG_ARCH_WANT_GENERAL_HUGETL B), and to implement
arch-specific code only when the arch needs it.For follow_huge_addr(), only powerpc and ia64 have their own
implementation, and in all other architectures this function just returns
ERR_PTR(-EINVAL). So this patch sets returning ERR_PTR(-EINVAL) as
default.As for follow_huge_(pmd|pud)(), if (pmd|pud)_huge() is implemented to
always return 0 in your architecture (like in ia64 or sparc,) it's never
called (the callsite is optimized away) no matter how implemented it is.
So in such architectures, we don't need arch-specific implementation.In some architecture (like mips, s390 and tile,) their current
arch-specific follow_huge_(pmd|pud)() are effectively identical with the
common code, so this patch lets these architecture use the common code.One exception is metag, where pmd_huge() could return non-zero but it
expects follow_huge_pmd() to always return NULL. This means that we need
arch-specific implementation which returns NULL. This behavior looks
strange to me (because non-zero pmd_huge() implies that the architecture
supports PMD-based hugepage, so follow_huge_pmd() can/should return some
relevant value,) but that's beyond this cleanup patch, so let's keep it.Justification of non-trivial changes:
- in s390, follow_huge_pmd() checks !MACHINE_HAS_HPAGE at first, and this
patch removes the check. This is OK because we can assume MACHINE_HAS_HPAGE
is true when follow_huge_pmd() can be called (note that pmd_huge() has
the same check and always returns 0 for !MACHINE_HAS_HPAGE.)
- in s390 and mips, we use HPAGE_MASK instead of PMD_MASK as done in common
code. This patch forces these archs use PMD_MASK, but it's OK because
they are identical in both archs.
In s390, both of HPAGE_SHIFT and PMD_SHIFT are 20.
In mips, HPAGE_SHIFT is defined as (PAGE_SHIFT + PAGE_SHIFT - 3) and
PMD_SHIFT is define as (PAGE_SHIFT + PAGE_SHIFT + PTE_ORDER - 3), but
PTE_ORDER is always 0, so these are identical.Signed-off-by: Naoya Horiguchi

Merge misc updates from Andrew Morton:
"Bite-sized chunks this time, to avoid the MTA ratelimiting woes.- fs/notify updates
- ocfs2
- some of MM"
That laconic "some MM" is mainly the removal of remap_file_pages(),
which is a big simplification of the VM, and which gets rid of a *lot*
of random cruft and special cases because we no longer support the
non-linear mappings that it used.From a user interface perspective, nothing has changed, because the
remap_file_pages() syscall still exists, it's just done by emulating the
old behavior by creating a lot of individual small mappings instead of
one non-linear one.The emulation is slower than the old "native" non-linear mappings, but
nobody really uses or cares about remap_file_pages(), and simplifying
the VM is a big advantage.* emailed patches from Andrew Morton : (78 commits)

The core VM already knows about VM_FAULT_SIGBUS, but cannot return a
"you should SIGSEGV" error, because the SIGSEGV case was generally
handled by the caller - usually the architecture fault handler.That results in lots of duplication - all the architecture fault
handlers end up doing very similar "look up vma, check permissions, do
retries etc" - but it generally works. However, there are cases where
the VM actually wants to SIGSEGV, and applications _expect_ SIGSEGV.In particular, when accessing the stack guard page, libsigsegv expects a
SIGSEGV. And it usually got one, because the stack growth is handled by
that duplicated architecture fault handler.However, when the generic VM layer started propagating the error return
from the stack expansion in commit fee7e49d4514 ("mm: propagate error
from stack expansion even for guard page"), that now exposed the
existing VM_FAULT_SIGBUS result to user space. And user space really
expected SIGSEGV, not SIGBUS.To fix that case, we need to add a VM_FAULT_SIGSEGV, and teach all those
duplicate architecture fault handlers about it. They all already have
the code to handle SIGSEGV, so it's about just tying that new return
value to the existing code, but it's all a bit annoying.This is the mindless minimal patch to do this. A more extensive patch
would be to try to gather up the mostly shared fault handling logic into
one generic helper routine, and long-term we really should do that
cleanup.Just from this patch, you can generally see that most architectures just
copied (directly or indirectly) the old x86 way of doing things, but in
the meantime that original x86 model has been improved to hold the VM
semaphore for shorter times etc and to handle VM_FAULT_RETRY and other
"newer" things, so it would be a good idea to bring all those
improvements to the generic case and teach other architectures about
them too.Reported-and-tested-by: Takashi Iwai

Nothing needs the module pointer any more, and the next patch will
call it from RCU, where the module itself might no longer exist.
Removing the arg is the safest approach.This just codifies the use of the module_alloc/module_free pattern
which ftrace and bpf use.Signed-off-by: Rusty Russell

Archs have been abusing module_free() to clean up their arch-specific
allocations. Since module_free() is also (ab)used by BPF and trace code,
let's keep it to simple allocations, and provide a hook called before
that.This means that avr32, ia64, parisc and s390 no longer need to implement
their own module_free() at all. avr32 doesn't need module_finalize()
either.Signed-off-by: Rusty Russell

SRCU is not necessary to be compiled by default in all cases. For tinification
efforts not compiling SRCU unless necessary is desirable.The current patch tries to make compiling SRCU optional by introducing a new
Kconfig option CONFIG_SRCU which is selected when any of the components making
use of SRCU are selected.If we do not select CONFIG_SRCU, srcu.o will not be compiled at all.
