      Merge branch 'strscpy' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/cmetcalf/linux-tile · 30c44659
      Linus Torvalds authored
      Pull strscpy string copy function implementation from Chris Metcalf.
      
      Chris sent this during the merge window, but I waffled back and forth on
      the pull request, which is why it's going in only now.
      
      The new "strscpy()" function is definitely easier to use and more secure
      than either strncpy() or strlcpy(), both of which are horrible nasty
      interfaces that have serious and irredeemable problems.
      
      strncpy() has a useless return value, and doesn't NUL-terminate an
      overlong result.  To make matters worse, it pads a short result with
      zeroes, which is a performance disaster if you have big buffers.
      
      strlcpy(), by contrast, is a mis-designed "fix" for strlcpy(), lacking
      the insane NUL padding, but having a differently broken return value
      which returns the original length of the source string.  Which means
      that it will read characters past the count from the source buffer, and
      you have to trust the source to be properly terminated.  It also makes
      error handling fragile, since the test for overflow is unnecessarily
      subtle.
      
      strscpy() avoids both these problems, guaranteeing the NUL termination
      (but not excessive padding) if the destination size wasn't zero, and
      making the overflow condition very obvious by returning -E2BIG.  It also
      doesn't read past the size of the source, and can thus be used for
      untrusted source data too.
      
      So why did I waffle about this for so long?
      
      Every time we introduce a new-and-improved interface, people start doing
      these interminable series of trivial conversion patches.
      
      And every time that happens, somebody does some silly mistake, and the
      conversion patch to the improved interface actually makes things worse.
      Because the patch is mindnumbing and trivial, nobody has the attention
      span to look at it carefully, and it's usually done over large swatches
      of source code which means that not every conversion gets tested.
      
      So I'm pulling the strscpy() support because it *is* a better interface.
      But I will refuse to pull mindless conversion patches.  Use this in
      places where it makes sense, but don't do trivial patches to fix things
      that aren't actually known to be broken.
      
      * 'strscpy' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/cmetcalf/linux-tile:
        tile: use global strscpy() rather than private copy
        string: provide strscpy()

      MIPS: scall: Always run the seccomp syscall filters · d218af78
      Markos Chandras authored
      The MIPS syscall handler code used to return -ENOSYS on invalid
      syscalls. Whilst this is expected, it caused problems for seccomp
      filters because the said filters never had the change to run since
      the code returned -ENOSYS before triggering them. This caused
      problems on the chromium testsuite for filters looking for invalid
      syscalls. This has now changed and the seccomp filters are always
      run even if the syscall is invalid. We return -ENOSYS once we
      return from the seccomp filters. Moreover, similar codepaths have
      been merged in the process which simplifies somewhat the overall
      syscall code.

      clocksource: Fix abs() usage w/ 64bit values · 67dfae0c
      John Stultz authored
      This patch fixes one cases where abs() was being used with 64-bit
      nanosecond values, where the result may be capped at 32-bits.
      
      This potentially could cause watchdog false negatives on 32-bit
      systems, so this patch addresses the issue by using abs64().

      irqchip/gic-v3-its: Count additional LPIs for the aliased devices · 791c76d5
      Marc Zyngier authored
      When configuring the interrupt mapping for a new device, we
      iterate over all the possible aliases to account for their
      maximum MSI allocation. This was introduced by e8137f4f
      ("irqchip: gicv3-its: Iterate over PCI aliases to generate ITS configuration").
      
      Turns out that the code doing that is a bit braindead, and repeatedly
      accounts for the same device over and over.
      
      Fix this by counting the actual alias that is passed to us by the
      core code.

      The warning is fairly benign (there is no code path that could

      by zeroing the variables on the error path.

        issues.  The pull request is mostly blk-mq related, and the only one
        not fixing a real bug, is the tag iterator abstraction from Christoph.
        But it's pretty trivial, and we'll need it for another fix soon.
      
        Apart from the blk-mq fixes, there's an NVMe affinity fix from Keith,
        and a single fix for xen-blkback from Roger fixing failure to free
        requests on disconnect"

      actually do want the device to work in extended W mode, as this is the
      mode that allows us receiving multiple contact information.

      MIPS: Octeon: Fix kernel panic on startup from memory corruption · 66803dd9
      Matt Bennett authored
      During development it was found that a number of builds would panic
      during the kernel init process, more specifically in 'delayed_fput()'.
      The panic showed the kernel trying to access a memory address of
      '0xb7fdc00' while traversing the 'delayed_fput_list' structure.
      Comparing this memory address to the value of the pointer used on
      builds that did not panic confirmed that the pointer on crashing
      builds must have been corrupted at some stage earlier in the init
      process.
      
      By traversing the list earlier and earlier in the code it was found
      that 'plat_mem_setup()' was responsible for corrupting the list.
      Specifically the line:
      
          memory = cvmx_bootmem_phy_alloc(mem_alloc_size,
      			__pa_symbol(&__init_end), -1,
      			0x100000,
      			CVMX_BOOTMEM_FLAG_NO_LOCKING);
      
      Which would eventually call:
      
          cvmx_bootmem_phy_set_size(new_ent_addr,
      		cvmx_bootmem_phy_get_size
      		(ent_addr) -
      		(desired_min_addr -
      			ent_addr));
      
      Where 'new_ent_addr'=0x4800000 (the address of 'delayed_fput_list')
      and the second argument (size)=0xb7fdc00 (the address causing the
      kernel panic). The job of this part of 'plat_mem_setup()' is to
      allocate chunks of memory for the kernel to use. At the start of
      each chunk of memory the size of the chunk is written, hence the
      value 0xb7fdc00 is written onto memory at 0x4800000, therefore the
      kernel panics when it goes back to access 'delayed_fput_list' later
      on in the initialisation process.
      
      On builds that were not crashing it was found that the compiler had
      placed 'delayed_fput_list' at 0x4800008, meaning it wasn't corrupted
      (but something else in memory was overwritten).
      
      As can be seen in the first function call above the code begins to
      allocate chunks of memory beginning from the symbol '__init_end'.
      The MIPS linker script (vmlinux.lds.S) however defines the .bss
      section to begin after '__init_end'. Therefore memory within the
      .bss section is allocated to the kernel to use (System.map shows
      'delayed_fput_list' and other kernel structures to be in .bss).
      
      To stop the kernel panic (and the .bss section being corrupted)
      memory should begin being allocated from the symbol '_end'.
