commit 6e7b64b9dd6d96537d816ea07ec26b7dedd397b9 upstream.
kernel/elfcore.c only contains weak symbols, which triggers a bug with
clang in combination with recordmcount:
Cannot find symbol for section 2: .text.
kernel/elfcore.o: failed
Move the empty stubs into linux/elfcore.h as inline functions. As only
two architectures use these, just use the architecture specific Kconfig
symbols to key off the declaration.

commit f43edca7ed08fc02279f2a62015da5cb6aa0ad61 upstream.

following linker errors:
arch/mips/built-in.o: In function `elf_core_dump':

CONFIG_MIPS32_O32=y but CONFIG_BINFMT_ELF disabled results in the following

binfmt_elfo32.c:(.text+0x29710): undefined reference to `elf_core_write_extra_data'
This is because binfmt_elfn32 and binfmt_elfo32 are using symbols from
elfcore but for these configurations elfcore will not be built.
Fixed by making elfcore selectable by a separate config symbol which
unlike the current mechanism can also be used from other directories
than kernel/, then having each flavor of ELF that relies on elfcore.o,
select it in Kconfig, including CONFIG_MIPS32_N32 and CONFIG_MIPS32_O32
which fixes this issue.

commit 04e7712f4460585e5eed5b853fd8b82a9943958f upstream.
We are going to share the compat_sys_futex() handler between 64-bit
architectures and 32-bit architectures that need to deal with both 32-bit
and 64-bit time_t, and this is easier if both entry points are in the
same file.
In fact, most other system call handlers do the same thing these days, so
let's follow the trend here and merge all of futex_compat.c into futex.c.
In the process, a few minor changes have to be done to make sure everything
still makes sense: handle_futex_death() and futex_cmpxchg_enabled() become
local symbol, and the compat version of the fetch_robust_entry() function
gets renamed to compat_fetch_robust_entry() to avoid a symbol clash.
This is intended as a purely cosmetic patch, no behavior should
change.

kcov provides code coverage collection for coverage-guided fuzzing
(randomized testing). Coverage-guided fuzzing is a testing technique
that uses coverage feedback to determine new interesting inputs to a
system. A notable user-space example is AFL
(http://lcamtuf.coredump.cx/afl/). However, this technique is not
widely used for kernel testing due to missing compiler and kernel
support.
kcov does not aim to collect as much coverage as possible. It aims to
collect more or less stable coverage that is function of syscall inputs.
To achieve this goal it does not collect coverage in soft/hard
interrupts and instrumentation of some inherently non-deterministic or
non-interesting parts of kernel is disbled (e.g. scheduler, locking).
Currently there is a single coverage collection mode (tracing), but the
API anticipates additional collection modes. Initially I also
implemented a second mode which exposes coverage in a fixed-size hash
table of counters (what Quentin used in his original patch). I've
dropped the second mode for simplicity.
This patch adds the necessary support on kernel side. The complimentary
compiler support was added in gcc revision 231296.
We've used this support to build syzkaller system call fuzzer, which has
found 90 kernel bugs in just 2 months:
https://github.com/google/syzkaller/wiki/Found-Bugs
We've also found 30+ bugs in our internal systems with syzkaller.
Another (yet unexplored) direction where kcov coverage would greatly
help is more traditional "blob mutation". For example, mounting a
random blob as a filesystem, or receiving a random blob over wire.
Why not gcov. Typical fuzzing loop looks as follows: (1) reset
coverage, (2) execute a bit of code, (3) collect coverage, repeat. A
typical coverage can be just a dozen of basic blocks (e.g. an invalid
input). In such context gcov becomes prohibitively expensive as
reset/collect coverage steps depend on total number of basic
blocks/edges in program (in case of kernel it is about 2M). Cost of
kcov depends only on number of executed basic blocks/edges. On top of
that, kernel requires per-thread coverage because there are always
background threads and unrelated processes that also produce coverage.
With inlined gcov instrumentation per-thread coverage is not possible.
kcov exposes kernel PCs and control flow to user-space which is
insecure. But debugfs should not be mapped as user accessible.
Based on a patch by Quentin Casasnovas.

Here is an implementation of a new system call, sys_membarrier(), which
executes a memory barrier on all threads running on the system. It is
implemented by calling synchronize_sched(). It can be used to
distribute the cost of user-space memory barriers asymmetrically by
transforming pairs of memory barriers into pairs consisting of
sys_membarrier() and a compiler barrier. For synchronization primitives
that distinguish between read-side and write-side (e.g. userspace RCU
[1], rwlocks), the read-side can be accelerated significantly by moving
the bulk of the memory barrier overhead to the write-side.
The existing applications of which I am aware that would be improved by
this system call are as follows:
* Through Userspace RCU library (http://urcu.so)
- DNS server (Knot DNS) https://www.knot-dns.cz/
- Network sniffer (http://netsniff-ng.org/)
- Distributed object storage (https://sheepdog.github.io/sheepdog/)
- User-space tracing (http://lttng.org)
- Network storage system (https://www.gluster.org/)
- Virtual routers (https://events.linuxfoundation.org/sites/events/files/slides/DPDK_RCU_0MQ.pdf)
- Financial software (https://lkml.org/lkml/2015/3/23/189)
Those projects use RCU in userspace to increase read-side speed and
scalability compared to locking. Especially in the case of RCU used by
libraries, sys_membarrier can speed up the read-side by moving the bulk of
the memory barrier cost to synchronize_rcu().
* Direct users of sys_membarrier
- core dotnet garbage collector (https://github.com/dotnet/coreclr/issues/198)
Microsoft core dotnet GC developers are planning to use the mprotect()
side-effect of issuing memory barriers through IPIs as a way to implement
Windows FlushProcessWriteBuffers() on Linux. They are referring to
sys_membarrier in their github thread, specifically stating that
sys_membarrier() is what they are looking for.
To explain the benefit of this scheme, let's introduce two example threads:
Thread A (non-frequent, e.g. executing liburcu synchronize_rcu())
Thread B (frequent, e.g. executing liburcu
rcu_read_lock()/rcu_read_unlock())
In a scheme where all smp_mb() in thread A are ordering memory accesses
with respect to smp_mb() present in Thread B, we can change each
smp_mb() within Thread A into calls to sys_membarrier() and each
smp_mb() within Thread B into compiler barriers "barrier()".
Before the change, we had, for each smp_mb() pairs:
Thread A Thread B
previous mem accesses previous mem accesses
smp_mb() smp_mb()
following mem accesses following mem accesses
After the change, these pairs become:
Thread A Thread B
prev mem accesses prev mem accesses
sys_membarrier() barrier()
follow mem accesses follow mem accesses
As we can see, there are two possible scenarios: either Thread B memory
accesses do not happen concurrently with Thread A accesses (1), or they
do (2).
1) Non-concurrent Thread A vs Thread B accesses:
Thread A Thread B
prev mem accesses
sys_membarrier()
follow mem accesses
prev mem accesses
barrier()
follow mem accesses
In this case, thread B accesses will be weakly ordered. This is OK,
because at that point, thread A is not particularly interested in
ordering them with respect to its own accesses.
2) Concurrent Thread A vs Thread B accesses
Thread A Thread B
prev mem accesses prev mem accesses
sys_membarrier() barrier()
follow mem accesses follow mem accesses
In this case, thread B accesses, which are ensured to be in program
order thanks to the compiler barrier, will be "upgraded" to full
smp_mb() by synchronize_sched().
* Benchmarks
On Intel Xeon E5405 (8 cores)
(one thread is calling sys_membarrier, the other 7 threads are busy
looping)
1000 non-expedited sys_membarrier calls in 33s =3D 33 milliseconds/call.
* User-space user of this system call: Userspace RCU library
Both the signal-based and the sys_membarrier userspace RCU schemes
permit us to remove the memory barrier from the userspace RCU
rcu_read_lock() and rcu_read_unlock() primitives, thus significantly
accelerating them. These memory barriers are replaced by compiler
barriers on the read-side, and all matching memory barriers on the
write-side are turned into an invocation of a memory barrier on all
active threads in the process. By letting the kernel perform this
synchronization rather than dumbly sending a signal to every process
threads (as we currently do), we diminish the number of unnecessary wake
ups and only issue the memory barriers on active threads. Non-running
threads do not need to execute such barrier anyway, because these are
implied by the scheduler context switches.
Results in liburcu:
Operations in 10s, 6 readers, 2 writers:
memory barriers in reader: 1701557485 reads, 2202847 writes
signal-based scheme: 9830061167 reads, 6700 writes
sys_membarrier: 9952759104 reads, 425 writes
sys_membarrier (dyn. check): 7970328887 reads, 425 writes
The dynamic sys_membarrier availability check adds some overhead to
the read-side compared to the signal-based scheme, but besides that,
sys_membarrier slightly outperforms the signal-based scheme. However,
this non-expedited sys_membarrier implementation has a much slower grace
period than signal and memory barrier schemes.
Besides diminishing the number of wake-ups, one major advantage of the
membarrier system call over the signal-based scheme is that it does not
need to reserve a signal. This plays much more nicely with libraries,
and with processes injected into for tracing purposes, for which we
cannot expect that signals will be unused by the application.
An expedited version of this system call can be added later on to speed
up the grace period. Its implementation will likely depend on reading
the cpu_curr()->mm without holding each CPU's rq lock.
This patch adds the system call to x86 and to asm-generic.

MEMBARRIER(2) Linux Programmer's Manual MEMBARRIER(2)
NAME
membarrier - issue memory barriers on a set of threads
SYNOPSIS
#include <linux/membarrier.h>
int membarrier(int cmd, int flags);
DESCRIPTION
The cmd argument is one of the following:
MEMBARRIER_CMD_QUERY
Query the set of supported commands. It returns a bitmask of
supported commands.
MEMBARRIER_CMD_SHARED
Execute a memory barrier on all threads running on the system.
Upon return from system call, the caller thread is ensured that
all running threads have passed through a state where all memory
accesses to user-space addresses match program order between
entry to and return from the system call (non-running threads
are de facto in such a state). This covers threads from all pro=E2=80=90
cesses running on the system. This command returns 0.
The flags argument needs to be 0. For future extensions.
All memory accesses performed in program order from each targeted
thread is guaranteed to be ordered with respect to sys_membarrier(). If
we use the semantic "barrier()" to represent a compiler barrier forcing
memory accesses to be performed in program order across the barrier,
and smp_mb() to represent explicit memory barriers forcing full memory
ordering across the barrier, we have the following ordering table for
each pair of barrier(), sys_membarrier() and smp_mb():
The pair ordering is detailed as (O: ordered, X: not ordered):
barrier() smp_mb() sys_membarrier()
barrier() X X O
smp_mb() X O O
sys_membarrier() O O O
RETURN VALUE
On success, these system calls return zero. On error, -1 is returned,
and errno is set appropriately. For a given command, with flags
argument set to 0, this system call is guaranteed to always return the
same value until reboot.
ERRORS
ENOSYS System call is not implemented.
EINVAL Invalid arguments.

There are two kexec load syscalls, kexec_load another and kexec_file_load.
kexec_file_load has been splited as kernel/kexec_file.c. In this patch I
split kexec_load syscall code to kernel/kexec.c.
And add a new kconfig option KEXEC_CORE, so we can disable kexec_load and
use kexec_file_load only, or vice verse.
The original requirement is from Ted Ts'o, he want kexec kernel signature
being checked with CONFIG_KEXEC_VERIFY_SIG enabled. But kexec-tools use
kexec_load syscall can bypass the checking.
Vivek Goyal proposed to create a common kconfig option so user can compile
in only one syscall for loading kexec kernel. KEXEC/KEXEC_FILE selects
KEXEC_CORE so that old config files still work.
Because there's general code need CONFIG_KEXEC_CORE, so I updated all the
architecture Kconfig with a new option KEXEC_CORE, and let KEXEC selects
KEXEC_CORE in arch Kconfig. Also updated general kernel code with to
kexec_load syscall.

Existing users of ioremap_cache() are mapping memory that is known in
advance to not have i/o side effects. These users are forced to cast
away the __iomem annotation, or otherwise neglect to fix the sparse
errors thrown when dereferencing pointers to this memory. Provide
memremap() as a non __iomem annotated ioremap_*() in the case when
ioremap is otherwise a pointer to cacheable memory. Empirically,
ioremap_<cacheable-type>() call sites are seeking memory-like semantics
(e.g. speculative reads, and prefetching permitted).
memremap() is a break from the ioremap implementation pattern of adding
a new memremap_<type>() for each mapping type and having silent
compatibility fall backs. Instead, the implementation defines flags
that are passed to the central memremap() and if a mapping type is not
supported by an arch memremap returns NULL.
We introduce a memremap prototype as a trivial wrapper of
ioremap_cache() and ioremap_wt(). Later, once all ioremap_cache() and
ioremap_wt() usage has been removed from drivers we teach archs to
implement arch_memremap() with the ability to strictly enforce the
mapping type.

The current rule for generating signing_key.priv and signing_key.x509 is
a classic example of a bad rule which has a tendency to break parallel
make. When invoked to create *either* target, it generates the other
target as a side-effect that make didn't predict.
So let's switch to using a single file signing_key.pem which contains
both key and certificate. That matches what we do in the case of an
external key specified by CONFIG_MODULE_SIG_KEY anyway, so it's also
slightly cleaner.

This is to be used to audit by executable path rules, but audit watches should
be able to share this code eventually.
At the moment the audit watch code is a lot more complex. That code only
creates one fsnotify watch per parent directory. That 'audit_parent' in
turn has a list of 'audit_watches' which contain the name, ino, dev of
the specific object we care about. This just creates one fsnotify watch
per object we care about. So if you watch 100 inodes in /etc this code
will create 100 fsnotify watches on /etc. The audit_watch code will
instead create 1 fsnotify watch on /etc (the audit_parent) and then 100
individual watches chained from that fsnotify mark.
We should be able to convert the audit_watch code to do one fsnotify
mark per watch and simplify things/remove a whole lot of code. After
that conversion we should be able to convert the audit_fsnotify code to
support that hierarchy if the optimization is necessary.
Move the access to the entry for audit_match_signal() to the beginning of
the audit_del_rule() function in case the entry found is the same one passed
in. This will enable it to be used by audit_autoremove_mark_rule(),
kill_rules() and audit_remove_parent_watches().

Adds a new single-purpose PIDs subsystem to limit the number of
tasks that can be forked inside a cgroup. Essentially this is an
implementation of RLIMIT_NPROC that applies to a cgroup rather than a
process tree.
However, it should be noted that organisational operations (adding and
removing tasks from a PIDs hierarchy) will *not* be prevented. Rather,
the number of tasks in the hierarchy cannot exceed the limit through
forking. This is due to the fact that, in the unified hierarchy, attach
cannot fail (and it is not possible for a task to overcome its PIDs
cgroup policy limit by attaching to a child cgroup -- even if migrating
mid-fork it must be able to fork in the parent first).
PIDs are fundamentally a global resource, and it is possible to reach
PID exhaustion inside a cgroup without hitting any reasonable kmemcg
policy. Once you've hit PID exhaustion, you're only in a marginally
better state than OOM. This subsystem allows PID exhaustion inside a
cgroup to be prevented.

There are a lot of embedded systems that run most or all of their
functionality in init, running as root:root. For these systems,
supporting multiple users is not necessary.
This patch adds a new symbol, CONFIG_MULTIUSER, that makes support for
non-root users, non-root groups, and capabilities optional. It is enabled
under CONFIG_EXPERT menu.
When this symbol is not defined, UID and GID are zero in any possible case
and processes always have all capabilities.
The following syscalls are compiled out: setuid, setregid, setgid,
setreuid, setresuid, getresuid, setresgid, getresgid, setgroups,
getgroups, setfsuid, setfsgid, capget, capset.
Also, groups.c is compiled out completely.
In kernel/capability.c, capable function was moved in order to avoid
adding two ifdef blocks.
This change saves about 25 KB on a defconfig build. The most minimal
kernels have total text sizes in the high hundreds of kB rather than
low MB. (The 25k goes down a bit with allnoconfig, but not that much.
The kernel was booted in Qemu. All the common functionalities work.

If the kernel is compiled with function tracer support the -pg compile option
is passed to gcc to generate extra code into the prologue of each function.
This patch replaces the "open-coded" -pg compile flag with a CC_FLAGS_FTRACE
makefile variable which architectures can override if a different option
should be used for code generation.

Every kernel build that includes X.509 support prints out
a message like
- Including cert signing_key.x509
This may be useful for some cases, but when doing automated
build tests, it just means noise.
To hide the message, this uses '$(kecho)' for printing the
message, which means we still see it when building with V=1,
but not at the normal level or when building with 'make -s'.

This commit introduces code for the live patching core. It implements
an ftrace-based mechanism and kernel interface for doing live patching
of kernel and kernel module functions.
It represents the greatest common functionality set between kpatch and
kgraft and can accept patches built using either method.
This first version does not implement any consistency mechanism that
ensures that old and new code do not run together. In practice, ~90% of
CVEs are safe to apply in this way, since they simply add a conditional
check. However, any function change that can not execute safely with
the old version of the function can _not_ be safely applied in this
version.

introduce two configs:
- hidden CONFIG_BPF to select eBPF interpreter that classic socket filters
depend on
- visible CONFIG_BPF_SYSCALL (default off) that tracing and sockets can use
that solves several problems:
- tracing and others that wish to use eBPF don't need to depend on NET.
They can use BPF_SYSCALL to allow loading from userspace or select BPF
to use it directly from kernel in NET-less configs.
- in 3.18 programs cannot be attached to events yet, so don't force it on
- when the rest of eBPF infra is there in 3.19+, it's still useful to
switch it off to minimize kernel size

This patch series does not do kernel signature verification yet. I plan
to post another patch series for that. Now distributions are already
signing PE/COFF bzImage with PKCS7 signature I plan to parse and verify
those signatures.
Primary goal of this patchset is to prepare groundwork so that kernel
image can be signed and signatures be verified during kexec load. This
should help with two things.
- It should allow kexec/kdump on secureboot enabled machines.
- In general it can help even without secureboot. By being able to verify
kernel image signature in kexec, it should help with avoiding module
signing restrictions. Matthew Garret showed how to boot into a custom
kernel, modify first kernel's memory and then jump back to old kernel and
bypass any policy one wants to.
This patch (of 15):
Kexec wants to use bin2c and it wants to use it really early in the build
process. See arch/x86/purgatory/ code in later patches.
So move bin2c in scripts/basic so that it can be built very early and
be usable by arch/x86/purgatory/

Fix the gathering of certificates from both the source tree and the build tree
to correctly calculate the pathnames of all the certificates.
The problem was that if the default generated cert, signing_key.x509, didn't
exist then it would not have a path attached and if it did, it would have a
path attached.
This means that the contents of kernel/.x509.list would change between the
first compilation in a directory and the second. After the second it would
remain stable because the signing_key.x509 file exists.
The consequence was that the kernel would get relinked unconditionally on the
second recompilation. The second recompilation would also show something like
this:
X.509 certificate list changed
CERTS kernel/x509_certificate_list
- Including cert /home/torvalds/v2.6/linux/signing_key.x509
AS kernel/system_certificates.o
LD kernel/built-in.o
which is why the relink would happen.
Unfortunately, it isn't a simple matter of just sticking a path on the front
of the filename of the certificate in the build directory as make can't then
work out how to build it.
So the path has to be prepended to the name for sorting and duplicate
elimination and then removed for the make rule if it is in the build tree.

Since kcmp syscall has been implemented (initially on x86 architecture) a
number of other archs wire it up as well: xtensa, sparc, sh, s390, mips,
microblaze, m68k (not taking into account those who uses
<asm-generic/unistd.h> for syscall numbers definitions).
But the Makefile, which turns kcmp.o generation on still depends on former
config-x86. Thus get rid of this limitation and make kcmp.o depend on
CHECKPOINT_RESTORE option.
