      nconfig: add search support · a72f3e2b
      Nir Tzachar authored
      Remove the old hotkeys feature, and replace it by an interactive string
      search.
      From nconfig help:
      
      Searching: pressing '/' triggers interactive search mode.
                 nconfig performs a case insensitive search for the string
                 in the menu prompts (no regex support).
                 Pressing the up/down keys highlights the previous/next
                 matching item. Backspace removes one character from the
                 match string. Pressing either '/' again or ESC exits
                 search mode. All other keys behave normally.
      
      Miscellaneous other changes (including Rundy's and Justin's input).

      kconfig: fix segfault when detecting recursive dependency · 3643f849
      Sam Ravnborg authored
      Following sample Kconfig generated a segfault:
      
      config FOO
              bool
              select PERF_EVENTS if HAVE_HW_BREAKPOINT
      
      config PERF_EVENTS
              bool
      
      config HAVE_HW_BREAKPOINT
              bool
              depends on PERF_EVENTS
      
      Fix by reverting back to a valid property if there was no
      property on the stack of symbols.
      
      The above pattern were seen in sh Kconfig.
      A fix for the Kconfig file has been sent to the sh folks.

      kconfig: fix savedefconfig with choice marked optional · 84062dd3
      Sam Ravnborg authored
      savedefconfig failed to save the correct minimal config
      when it encountered a choice marked optional.
      
      Consider following minimal configuration:
      $cat Kconfig
      choice
      	prompt "choice"
      	optional
      
      config A
      	bool "a"
      
      config B
      	bool "b"
      
      endchoice
      
      $cat .config | grep -v ^#
      CONFIG_A=y
      
      $conf --savedefconfig=defconfig Kconfig
      
      would before this fix result in an empty file, because
      kconfig would assume that CONFIG_A=y is a default value.
      But because the choice is optional the default is that
      both A and B are =n.
      
      Fix so we handle optional choices correct.

      CRED: Fix __task_cred()'s lockdep check and banner comment · 8f92054e
      David Howells authored
      Fix __task_cred()'s lockdep check by removing the following validation
      condition:
      
      	lockdep_tasklist_lock_is_held()
      
      as commit_creds() does not take the tasklist_lock, and nor do most of the
      functions that call it, so this check is pointless and it can prevent
      detection of the RCU lock not being held if the tasklist_lock is held.
      
      Instead, add the following validation condition:
      
      	task->exit_state >= 0
      
      to permit the access if the target task is dead and therefore unable to change
      its own credentials.
      
      Fix __task_cred()'s comment to:
      
       (1) discard the bit that says that the caller must prevent the target task
           from being deleted.  That shouldn't need saying.
      
       (2) Add a comment indicating the result of __task_cred() should not be passed
           directly to get_cred(), but rather than get_task_cred() should be used
           instead.
      
      Also put a note into the documentation to enforce this point there too.

      CRED: Fix get_task_cred() and task_state() to not resurrect dead credentials · de09a977
      David Howells authored
      It's possible for get_task_cred() as it currently stands to 'corrupt' a set of
      credentials by incrementing their usage count after their replacement by the
      task being accessed.
      
      What happens is that get_task_cred() can race with commit_creds():
      
      	TASK_1			TASK_2			RCU_CLEANER
      	-->get_task_cred(TASK_2)
      	rcu_read_lock()
      	__cred = __task_cred(TASK_2)
      				-->commit_creds()
      				old_cred = TASK_2->real_cred
      				TASK_2->real_cred = ...
      				put_cred(old_cred)
      				  call_rcu(old_cred)
      		[__cred->usage == 0]
      	get_cred(__cred)
      		[__cred->usage == 1]
      	rcu_read_unlock()
      							-->put_cred_rcu()
      							[__cred->usage == 1]
      							panic()
      
      However, since a tasks credentials are generally not changed very often, we can
      reasonably make use of a loop involving reading the creds pointer and using
      atomic_inc_not_zero() to attempt to increment it if it hasn't already hit zero.
      
      If successful, we can safely return the credentials in the knowledge that, even
      if the task we're accessing has released them, they haven't gone to the RCU
      cleanup code.
      
      We then change task_state() in procfs to use get_task_cred() rather than
      calling get_cred() on the result of __task_cred(), as that suffers from the
      same problem.
      
      Without this change, a BUG_ON in __put_cred() or in put_cred_rcu() can be
      tripped when it is noticed that the usage count is not zero as it ought to be,
      for example:
