Pull f2fs updates from Jaegeuk Kim: "In this round, we've added new features such as zone capacity for ZNS and a new GC policy, ATGC, along with in-memory segment management. In addition, we could improve the decompression speed significantly by changing virtual mapping method. Even though we've fixed lots of small bugs in compression support, I feel that it becomes more stable so that I could give it a try in production. Enhancements: - suport zone capacity in NVMe Zoned Namespace devices - introduce in-memory current segment management - add standart casefolding support - support age threshold based garbage collection - improve decompression speed by changing virtual mapping method Bug fixes: - fix condition checks in some ioctl() such as compression, move_range, etc - fix 32/64bits support in data structures - fix memory allocation in zstd decompress - add some boundary checks to avoid kernel panic on corrupted image - fix disallowing compression for non-empty file - fix slab leakage of compressed block writes In addition, it includes code refactoring for better readability and minor bug fixes for compression and zoned device support" * tag 'f2fs-for-5.10-rc1' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/jaegeuk/f2fs: (51 commits) f2fs: code cleanup by removing unnecessary check f2fs: wait for sysfs kobject removal before freeing f2fs_sb_info f2fs: fix writecount false positive in releasing compress blocks f2fs: introduce check_swap_activate_fast() f2fs: don't issue flush in f2fs_flush_device_cache() for nobarrier case f2fs: handle errors of f2fs_get_meta_page_nofail f2fs: fix to set SBI_NEED_FSCK flag for inconsistent inode f2fs: reject CASEFOLD inode flag without casefold feature f2fs: fix memory alignment to support 32bit f2fs: fix slab leak of rpages pointer f2fs: compress: fix to disallow enabling compress on non-empty file f2fs: compress: introduce cic/dic slab cache f2fs: compress: introduce page array slab cache f2fs: fix to do sanity check on segment/section count f2fs: fix to check segment boundary during SIT page readahead f2fs: fix uninit-value in f2fs_lookup f2fs: remove unneeded parameter in find_in_block() f2fs: fix wrong total_sections check and fsmeta check f2fs: remove duplicated code in sanity_check_area_boundary f2fs: remove unused check on version_bitmap ...

Pull documentation updates from Mauro Carvalho Chehab: "A series of patches addressing warnings produced by make htmldocs. This includes: - kernel-doc markup fixes - ReST fixes - Updates at the build system in order to support newer versions of the docs build toolchain (Sphinx) After this series, the number of html build warnings should reduce significantly, and building with Sphinx 3.1 or later should now be supported (although it is still recommended to use Sphinx 2.4.4). As agreed with Jon, I should be sending you a late pull request by the end of the merge window addressing remaining issues with docs build, as there are a number of warning fixes that depends on pull requests that should be happening along the merge window. The end goal is to have a clean htmldocs build on Kernel 5.10. PS. It should be noticed that Sphinx 3.0 is not currently supported, as it lacks support for C domain namespaces. Such feature, needed in order to document uAPI system calls with Sphinx 3.x, was added only on Sphinx 3.1" * tag 'docs/v5.10-1' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/mchehab/linux-media: (75 commits) PM / devfreq: remove a duplicated kernel-doc markup mm/doc: fix a literal block markup workqueue: fix a kernel-doc warning docs: virt: user_mode_linux_howto_v2.rst: fix a literal block markup Input: sparse-keymap: add a description for @sw rcu/tree: docs: document bkvcache new members at struct kfree_rcu_cpu nl80211: docs: add a description for s1g_cap parameter usb: docs: document altmode register/unregister functions kunit: test.h: fix a bad kernel-doc markup drivers: core: fix kernel-doc markup for dev_err_probe() docs: bio: fix a kerneldoc markup kunit: test.h: solve kernel-doc warnings block: bio: fix a warning at the kernel-doc markups docs: powerpc: syscall64-abi.rst: fix a malformed table drivers: net: hamradio: fix document location net: appletalk: Kconfig: Fix docs location dt-bindings: fix references to files converted to yaml memblock: get rid of a :c:type leftover math64.h: kernel-docs: Convert some markups into normal comments media: uAPI: buffer.rst: remove a left-over documentation ...

Albert van der Linde authored
Patch series "add fault injection to user memory access", v3. The goal of this series is to improve testing of fault-tolerance in usages of user memory access functions, by adding support for fault injection. syzkaller/syzbot are using the existing fault injection modes and will use this particular feature also. The first patch adds failure injection capability for usercopy functions. The second changes usercopy functions to use this new failure capability (copy_from_user, ...). The third patch adds get/put/clear_user failures to x86. This patch (of 3): Add a failure injection capability to improve testing of fault-tolerance in usages of user memory access functions. Add CONFIG_FAULT_INJECTION_USERCOPY to enable faults in usercopy functions. The should_fail_usercopy function is to be called by these functions (copy_from_user, get_user, ...) in order to fail or not.

George Popescu authored
When the kernel is compiled with Clang, -fsanitize=bounds expands to -fsanitize=array-bounds and -fsanitize=local-bounds. Enabling -fsanitize=local-bounds with Clang has the unfortunate side-effect of inserting traps; this goes back to its original intent, which was as a hardening and not a debugging feature [1]. The same feature made its way into -fsanitize=bounds, but the traps remained. For that reason, -fsanitize=bounds was split into 'array-bounds' and 'local-bounds' [2]. Since 'local-bounds' doesn't behave like a normal sanitizer, enable it with Clang only if trapping behaviour was requested by CONFIG_UBSAN_TRAP=y. Add the UBSAN_BOUNDS_LOCAL config to Kconfig.ubsan to enable the 'local-bounds' option by default when UBSAN_TRAP is enabled.

in_ubsan field of task_struct is only used in lib/ubsan.c, which in its turn is used only `ifneq ($(CONFIG_UBSAN_TRAP),y)`. Removing unnecessary field from a task_struct will help preserve the ABI between vanilla and CONFIG_UBSAN_TRAP'ed kernels. In particular, this will help enabling bounds sanitizer transparently for Android's GKI.

rio_dma_transfer() attempts to clamp the return value of pin_user_pages_fast() to be >= 0. However, the attempt fails because nr_pages is overridden a few lines later, and restored to the undesirable -ERRNO value. The return value is ultimately stored in nr_pages, which in turn is passed to unpin_user_pages(), which expects nr_pages >= 0, else, disaster. Fix this by fixing the nesting of the assignment to nr_pages: nr_pages should be clamped to zero if pin_user_pages_fast() returns -ERRNO, or set to the return value of pin_user_pages_fast(), otherwise.

ramfs needs to check that pages are both physically contiguous and contiguous in the file. If the page cache happens to have, eg, page A for index 0 of the file, no page for index 1, and page A+1 for index 2, then an mmap of the first two pages of the file will succeed when it should fail.

In both binfmt_elf and binfmt_elf_fdpic, use a new helper dump_vma_snapshot() to take a snapshot of the VMA list (including the gate VMA, if we have one) while protected by the mmap_lock, and then use that snapshot instead of walking the VMA list without locking. An alternative approach would be to keep the mmap_lock held across the entire core dumping operation; however, keeping the mmap_lock locked while we may be blocked for an unbounded amount of time (e.g. because we're dumping to a FUSE filesystem or so) isn't really optimal; the mmap_lock blocks things like the ->release handler of userfaultfd, and we don't really want critical system daemons to grind to a halt just because someone "gifted" them SCM_RIGHTS to an eternally-locked userfaultfd, or something like that. Since both the normal ELF code and the FDPIC ELF code need this functionality (and if any other binfmt wants to add coredump support in the future, they'd probably need it, too), implement this with a common helper in fs/coredump.c. A downside of this approach is that we now need a bigger amount of kernel memory per userspace VMA in the normal ELF case, and that we need O(n) kernel memory in the FDPIC ELF case at all; but 40 bytes per VMA shouldn't be terribly bad. There currently is a data race between stack expansion and anything that reads ->vm_start or ->vm_end under the mmap_lock held in read mode; to mitigate that for core dumping, take the mmap_lock in write mode when taking a snapshot of the VMA hierarchy. (If we only took the mmap_lock in read mode, we could end up with a corrupted core dump if someone does get_user_pages_remote() concurrently. Not really a major problem, but taking the mmap_lock either way works here, so we might as well avoid the issue.) (This doesn't do anything about the existing data races with stack expansion in other mm code.)

At the moment, the binfmt_elf and binfmt_elf_fdpic code have slightly different code to figure out which VMAs should be dumped, and if so, whether the dump should contain the entire VMA or just its first page. Eliminate duplicate code by reworking the binfmt_elf version into a generic core dumping helper in coredump.c. As part of that, change the heuristic for detecting executable/library header pages to check whether the inode is executable instead of looking at the file mode. This is less problematic in terms of locking because it lets us avoid get_user() under the mmap_sem. (And arguably it looks nicer and makes more sense in generic code.) Adjust a little bit based on the binfmt_elf_fdpic version: ->anon_vma is only meaningful under CONFIG_MMU, otherwise we have to assume that the VMA has been written to.

Patch series "Fix ELF / FDPIC ELF core dumping, and use mmap_lock properly in there", v5. At the moment, we have that rather ugly mmget_still_valid() helper to work around <https://crbug.com/project-zero/1790>: ELF core dumping doesn't take the mmap_sem while traversing the task's VMAs, and if anything (like userfaultfd) then remotely messes with the VMA tree, fireworks ensue. So at the moment we use mmget_still_valid() to bail out in any writers that might be operating on a remote mm's VMAs. With this series, I'm trying to get rid of the need for that as cleanly as possible. ("cleanly" meaning "avoid holding the mmap_lock across unbounded sleeps".) Patches 1, 2, 3 and 4 are relatively unrelated cleanups in the core dumping code. Patches 5 and 6 implement the main change: Instead of repeatedly accessing the VMA list with sleeps in between, we snapshot it at the start with proper locking, and then later we just use our copy of the VMA list. This ensures that the kernel won't crash, that VMA metadata in the coredump is consistent even in the presence of concurrent modifications, and that any virtual addresses that aren't being concurrently modified have their contents show up in the core dump properly. The disadvantage of this approach is that we need a bit more memory during core dumping for storing metadata about all VMAs. At the end of the series, patch 7 removes the old workaround for this issue (mmget_still_valid()). I have tested: - Creating a simple core dump on X86-64 still works. - The created coredump on X86-64 opens in GDB and looks plausible. - X86-64 core dumps contain the first page for executable mappings at offset 0, and don't contain the first page for non-executable file mappings or executable mappings at offset !=0. - NOMMU 32-bit ARM can still generate plausible-looking core dumps through the FDPIC implementation. (I can't test this with GDB because GDB is missing some structure definition for nommu ARM, but I've poked around in the hexdump and it looked decent.) This patch (of 7): dump_emit() is for kernel pointers, and VMAs describe userspace memory. Let's be tidy here and avoid accessing userspace pointers under KERNEL_DS, even if it probably doesn't matter much on !MMU systems - especially given that it looks like we can just use the same get_dump_page() as on MMU if we move it out of the CONFIG_MMU block. One small change we have to make in get_dump_page() is to use __get_user_pages_locked() instead of __get_user_pages(), since the latter doesn't exist on nommu. On mmu builds, __get_user_pages_locked() will just call __get_user_pages() for us.

Patch series "Selecting Load Addresses According to p_align", v3. The current ELF loading mechancism provides page-aligned mappings. This can lead to the program being loaded in a way unsuitable for file-backed, transparent huge pages when handling PIE executables. While specifying -z,max-page-size=0x200000 to the linker will generate suitably aligned segments for huge pages on x86_64, the executable needs to be loaded at a suitably aligned address as well. This alignment requires the binary's cooperation, as distinct segments need to be appropriately paddded to be eligible for THP. For binaries built with increased alignment, this limits the number of bits usable for ASLR, but provides some randomization over using fixed load addresses/non-PIE binaries.

Checkpatch did not handle cases where the author From: header was split into multiple lines. The author identity could not be resolved and checkpatch generated a false NO_AUTHOR_SIGN_OFF warning. A typical example is commit e33bcbab ("tee: add support for session's client UUID generation"). When checkpatch was run on this commit, it displayed: "WARNING:NO_AUTHOR_SIGN_OFF: Missing Signed-off-by: line by nominal patch author ''" This was due to split header lines not being handled properly and the author himself wrote in commit cd261496 ("checkpatch: warn if missing author Signed-off-by"): "Split From: headers are not fully handled: only the first part is compared." Support split From: headers by correctly parsing the header extension lines. RFC 5322, Section-2.2.3 stated that each extended line must start with a WSP character (a space or htab). The solution was therefore to concatenate the lines which start with a WSP to get the correct long header.
