fs/binfmt_elf_fdpic.c: provide NOMMU loader for regular ELF binaries
The ELF binary loader in binfmt_elf.c requires an MMU, making it
impossible to use regular ELF binaries on NOMMU archs. However, the FDPIC
ELF loader in binfmt_elf_fdpic.c is fully capable as a loader for plain
ELF, which requires constant displacements between LOAD segments, since it
already supports FDPIC ELF files flagged as needing constant displacement.
This patch adjusts the FDPIC ELF loader to accept non-FDPIC ELF files on
NOMMU archs. They are treated identically to FDPIC ELF files with the
constant-displacement flag bit set, except for personality, which must
match the ABI of the program being loaded; the PER_LINUX_FDPIC personality
controls how the kernel interprets function pointers passed to sigaction.
Files that do not set a stack size requirement explicitly are given a
default stack size (matching the amount of committed stack the normal ELF
loader for MMU archs would give them) rather than being rejected; this is
necessary because plain ELF files generally do not declare stack
requirements in theit program headers.
Only ET_DYN (PIE) format ELF files are supported, since loading at a fixed
virtual address is not possible on NOMMU.
This patch was developed and tested on J2 (SH2-compatible) but should
be usable immediately on all archs where binfmt_elf_fdpic is
available. Moreover, by providing dummy definitions of the
elf_check_fdpic() and elf_check_const_displacement() macros for archs
which lack an FDPIC ABI, it should be possible to enable building of
binfmt_elf_fdpic on all other NOMMU archs and thereby give them ELF
binary support, but I have not yet tested this.
The motivation for using binfmt_elf_fdpic.c rather than adapting
binfmt_elf.c to NOMMU is that the former already has all the necessary
code to work properly on NOMMU and has already received widespread
real-world use and testing. I hope this is not controversial.
I'm not really happy with having to unset the FDPIC_FUNCPTRS
personality bit when loading non-FDPIC ELF. This bit should really
reset automatically on execve, since otherwise, executing non-ELF
binaries (e.g. bFLT) from an FDPIC process will leave the personality
in the wrong state and severely break signal handling. But that's a
separate, existing bug and I don't know the right place to fix it.

kernel.h: make abs() work with 64-bit types
For 64-bit arguments, the abs macro casts it to an int which leads to
lost precision and may cause incorrect results. To deal with 64-bit
types abs64 macro has been introduced but still there are places where
abs macro is used incorrectly.
To deal with the problem, expand abs macro such that it operates on s64
type when dealing with 64-bit types while still returning long when
dealing with smaller types.
This fixes one known bug (per John):
The internal clocksteering done for fine-grained error correction uses a
: logarithmic approximation, so any time adjtimex() adjusts the clock
: steering, timekeeping_freqadjust() quickly approximates the correct clock
: frequency over a series of ticks.
:
: Unfortunately, the logic in timekeeping_freqadjust(), introduced in commit
:
dc491596f639438 (Rework frequency adjustments to work better w/ nohz),
: used the abs() function with a s64 error value to calculate the size of
: the approximated adjustment to be made.
:
: Per include/linux/kernel.h: "abs() should not be used for 64-bit types
: (s64, u64, long long) - use abs64()".
:
: Thus on 32-bit platforms, this resulted in the clocksteering to take a
: quite dampended random walk trying to converge on the proper frequency,
: which caused the adjustments to be made much slower then intended (most
: easily observed when large adjustments are made).

This patch fixes some bugs and partly cleans up the parisc uapi header

- compat_semid64_ds was wrong and did not take the endianess into
account
- ipc64_perm exported userspace types which broke building userspace
packages on debian (e.g. trinity)
- ipc64_perm needs to use a 32bit mode_t on 64bit kernel
- msqid64_ds and semid64_ds needs unsigned longs for various struct members
- shmid64_ds exported size_t instead of __kernel_size_t
And finally add some compile-time checks for the sizes of those structs
to avoid future breakage.

o The copy variable is set initially to nil, apparently as a way of
ensuring that prepare_copy is previously called. Which is in fact done,
unconditionally at the beginning of do_msgrcv.
o There is no concurrency with 'copy' (stack allocated in do_msgrcv).
Furthermore, any errors in 'copy' (and thus prepare_copy/copy_msg) should
always handled by IS_ERR() family. Therefore remove this check altogether
as it can never occur with the current users.

panic: release stale console lock to always get the logbuf printed out
In some cases we may end up killing the CPU holding the console lock
while still having valuable data in logbuf. E.g. I'm observing the
following:
- A crash is happening on one CPU and console_unlock() is being called on
some other.
- console_unlock() tries to print out the buffer before releasing the lock
and on slow console it takes time.
- in the meanwhile crashing CPU does lots of printk()-s with valuable data
(which go to the logbuf) and sends IPIs to all other CPUs.
- console_unlock() finishes printing previous chunk and enables interrupts
before trying to print out the rest, the CPU catches the IPI and never
releases console lock.
This is not the only possible case: in VT/fb subsystems we have many other
console_lock()/console_unlock() users. Non-masked interrupts (or
receiving NMI in case of extreme slowness) will have the same result.
Getting the whole console buffer printed out on crash should be top
priority.

dma-mapping: tidy up dma_parms default handling
Many DMA controllers and other devices set max_segment_size to
indicate their scatter-gather capability, but have no interest in
segment_boundary_mask. However, the existence of a dma_parms structure
precludes the use of any default value, leaving them as zeros (assuming
a properly kzalloc'ed structure). If a well-behaved IOMMU (or SWIOTLB)
then tries to respect this by ensuring a mapped segment does not cross
a zero-byte boundary, hilarity ensues.
Since zero is a nonsensical value for either parameter, treat it as an
indicator for "default", as might be expected. In the process, clean up
a bit by replacing the bare constants with slightly more meaningful
macros and removing the superfluous "else" statements.

fs, seqfile: always allow oom killer
Since
5cec38ac866b ("fs, seq_file: fallback to vmalloc instead of oom kill
processes") seq_buf_alloc() avoids calling the oom killer for PAGE_SIZE or
smaller allocations; but larger allocations can use the oom killer via
vmalloc(). Thus reads of small files can return ENOMEM, but larger files
use the oom killer to avoid ENOMEM.
The effect of this bug is that reads from /proc and other virtual
filesystems can return ENOMEM instead of the preferred behavior - oom
killing something (possibly the calling process). I don't know of anyone
except Google who has noticed the issue.
I suspect the fix is more needed in smaller systems where there isn't any
reclaimable memory. But these seem like the kinds of systems which
probably don't use the oom killer for production situations.
Memory overcommit requires use of the oom killer to select a victim
regardless of file size.
Enable oom killer for small seq_buf_alloc() allocations.

nilfs2: free unused dat file blocks during garbage collection
As a nilfs2 volume ages, the amount of available disk space decreases
little by little due to bloat of DAT (disk address translation) metadata
file. Even if we delete all files in a file system and free their block
addresses from the DAT file through a garbage collection, empty DAT blocks
are not freed.
This fixes the issue by extending the deallocator of block addresses so
that empty data blocks and empty bitmap blocks of DAT are deleted.
The following comparison shows the effect of this patch. Each shows disk

lib/hexdump.c: truncate output in case of overflow
There is a classical off-by-one error in case when we try to place, for
example, 1+1 bytes as hex in the buffer of size 6. The expected result is
to get an output truncated, but in the reality we get 6 bytes filed
followed by terminating NUL.

rbtree: clarify documentation of rbtree_postorder_for_each_entry_safe()
I noticed that commit
a20135ffbc44 ("writeback: don't drain
bdi_writeback_congested on bdi destruction") added a usage of
rbtree_postorder_for_each_entry_safe() in mm/backing-dev.c which appears
to try to rb_erase() elements from an rbtree while iterating over it using
rbtree_postorder_for_each_entry_safe().
Doing this will cause random nodes to be missed by the iteration because
rb_erase() may rebalance the tree, changing the ordering that we're trying
to iterate over.
The previous documentation for rbtree_postorder_for_each_entry_safe()
wasn't clear that this wasn't allowed, it was taken from the docs for
list_for_each_entry_safe(), where erasing isn't a problem due to
list_del() not reordering.
Explicitly warn developers about this potential pit-fall.
Note that I haven't fixed the actual issue that (it appears) the commit
referenced above introduced (not familiar enough with that code).
In general (and in this case), the patterns to follow are:
- switch to rb_first() + rb_erase(), don't use
rbtree_postorder_for_each_entry_safe().
- keep the postorder iteration and don't rb_erase() at all. Instead
just clear the fields of rb_node & cgwb_congested_tree as required by
other users of those structures.

lib/kobject.c: use kvasprintf_const for formatting ->name
Sometimes kobject_set_name_vargs is called with a format string conaining
no %, or a format string of precisely "%s", where the single vararg
happens to point to .rodata. kvasprintf_const detects these cases for us
and returns a copy of that pointer instead of duplicating the string, thus
saving some run-time memory. Otherwise, it falls back to kvasprintf. We
just need to always deallocate ->name using kfree_const.
Unfortunately, the dance we need to do to perform the '/' -> '!'
sanitization makes the resulting code rather ugly.
I instrumented kstrdup_const to provide some statistics on the memory
saved, and for me this gave an additional ~14KB after boot (306KB was
already saved; this patch bumped that to 320KB). I have
KMALLOC_SHIFT_LOW==3, and since 80% of the kvasprintf_const hits were
satisfied by an 8-byte allocation, the 14K would roughly be quadrupled
when KMALLOC_SHIFT_LOW==5. Whether these numbers are sufficient to
justify the ugliness I'll leave to others to decide.

If the format string contains no % characters, or if the format string is

kvasprintf.
Just as for kstrdup_const, the main motivation is to save memory by
reusing .rodata when possible.
The return value should be freed by kfree_const, just like for
kstrdup_const.
There is deliberately no kasprintf_const: In the vast majority of cases,
the format string argument is a literal, so one can determine statically
whether one could instead use kstrdup_const directly (which would also
require one to change all corresponding kfree calls to kfree_const).

lib/llist.c: fix data race in llist_del_first
llist_del_first reads entry->next, but it did not acquire visibility over
the entry node. As the result it can get a stale value of entry->next
(e.g. NULL or whatever garbage was there before the appending thread
wrote correct value). And then commit that value as llist head with
cmpxchg. That will corrupt llist.
Note there is a control-dependency between read of head->first and read of
entry->next, but it does not make the code correct. Kernel memory model
unambiguously says: "A load-load control dependency requires a full read
memory barrier".
Use smp_load_acquire to acquire visibility over the entry node.

printk: prevent userland from spoofing kernel messages
The following statement of ABI/testing/dev-kmsg is not quite right:
It is not possible to inject messages from userspace with the
facility number LOG_KERN (0), to make sure that the origin of the
messages can always be reliably determined.
Userland actually can inject messages with a facility of 0 by abusing the
fact that the facility is stored in a u8 data type. By using a facility
which is a multiple of 256 the assignment of msg->facility in log_store()
implicitly truncates it to 0, i.e. LOG_KERN, allowing users of /dev/kmsg
to spoof kernel messages as shown below:
The following call...
# printf '<%d>Kernel panic - not syncing: beer empty\n' 0 >/dev/kmsg
...leads to the following log entry (dmesg -x | tail -n 1):
user :emerg : [ 66.137758] Kernel panic - not syncing: beer empty
However, this call...
# printf '<%d>Kernel panic - not syncing: beer empty\n' 0x800 >/dev/kmsg
...leads to the slightly different log entry (note the kernel facility):
kern :emerg : [ 74.177343] Kernel panic - not syncing: beer empty
Fix that by limiting the user provided facility to 8 bit right from the
beginning and catch the truncation early.
