      linux/audit.h: move ptrace.h include to kernel header · c0a3a20b
      Mike Frysinger authored
      While the kernel internals want pt_regs (and so it includes
      linux/ptrace.h), the user version of audit.h does not need it.  So move
      the include out of the uapi version.
      
      This avoids issues where people want the audit defines and userland
      ptrace api.  Including both the kernel ptrace and the userland ptrace
      headers can easily lead to failure.

      kernel/audit.c: avoid negative sleep durations · 82919919
      Andrew Morton authored
      audit_log_start() performs the same jiffies comparison in two places.
      If sufficient time has elapsed between the two comparisons, the second
      one produces a negative sleep duration:

      audit: create explicit AUDIT_SECCOMP event type · 7b9205bd
      Kees Cook authored
      The seccomp path was using AUDIT_ANOM_ABEND from when seccomp mode 1
      could only kill a process.  While we still want to make sure an audit
      record is forced on a kill, this should use a separate record type since
      seccomp mode 2 introduces other behaviors.
      
      In the case of "handled" behaviors (process wasn't killed), only emit a
      record if the process is under inspection.  This change also fixes
      userspace examination of seccomp audit events, since it was considered
      malformed due to missing fields of the AUDIT_ANOM_ABEND event type.

      Alexander Beregalov and Alex Xu reported similar bugs and Hillf Danton
      identified that commit 5a505085 ("mm/rmap: Convert the struct
      anon_vma::mutex to an rwsem") and commit 4fc3f1d6 ("mm/rmap,
      migration: Make rmap_walk_anon() and try_to_unmap_anon() more scalable")
      were likely the problem.  Reverting these commits was reported to solve
      the problem for Alexander.
      
      Despite the reason for these commits, NUMA balancing is not the direct
      source of the problem.  split_huge_page() expects the anon_vma lock to
      be exclusive to serialise the whole split operation.  Ordinarily it is
      expected that the anon_vma lock would only be required when updating the
      avcs but THP also uses the anon_vma rwsem for collapse and split
      operations where the page lock or compound lock cannot be used (as the
      page is changing from base to THP or vice versa) and the page table
      locks are insufficient.
      
      This patch takes the anon_vma lock for write to serialise against parallel
      split_huge_page as THP expected before the conversion to rwsem.

      mm: mmap: annotate vm_lock_anon_vma locking properly for lockdep · 572043c9
      Jiri Kosina authored
      Commit 5a505085 ("mm/rmap: Convert the struct anon_vma::mutex to an
      rwsem") turned anon_vma mutex to rwsem.
      
      However, the properly annotated nested locking in mm_take_all_locks()
      has been converted from
      
      	mutex_lock_nest_lock(&anon_vma->root->mutex, &mm->mmap_sem);
      
      to
      
      	down_write(&anon_vma->root->rwsem);
      
      which is incomplete, and causes the false positive report from lockdep
      below.
      
      Annotate the fact that mmap_sem is used as an outter lock to serialize
      taking of all the anon_vma rwsems at once no matter the order, using the
      down_write_nest_lock() primitive.
      
      This patch fixes this lockdep report:

      mm: bootmem: fix free_all_bootmem_core() with odd bitmap alignment · 10d73e65
      Max Filippov authored
      Currently free_all_bootmem_core ignores that node_min_pfn may be not
      multiple of BITS_PER_LONG.  Eg commit 6dccdcbe ("mm: bootmem: fix
      checking the bitmap when finally freeing bootmem") shifts vec by lower
      bits of start instead of lower bits of idx.  Also
      
        if (IS_ALIGNED(start, BITS_PER_LONG) && vec == ~0UL)
      
      assumes that vec bit 0 corresponds to start pfn, which is only true when
      node_min_pfn is a multiple of BITS_PER_LONG.  Also loop in the else
      clause can double-free pages (e.g.  with node_min_pfn == start == 1,
      map[0] == ~0 on 32-bit machine page 32 will be double-freed).
      
      This bug causes the following message during xtensa kernel boot:
      
        bootmem::free_all_bootmem_core nid=0 start=1 end=8000
        BUG: Bad page state in process swapper  pfn:00001

      The fix is the following:
       - always align vec so that its bit 0 corresponds to start
       - provide BITS_PER_LONG bits in vec, if those bits are available in the
         map
       - don't free pages past next start position in the else clause.

      mm: use aligned zone start for pfn_to_bitidx calculation · c060f943
      Laura Abbott authored
      The current calculation in pfn_to_bitidx assumes that (pfn -
      zone->zone_start_pfn) >> pageblock_order will return the same bit for
      all pfn in a pageblock.  If zone_start_pfn is not aligned to
      pageblock_nr_pages, this may not always be correct.
      
      Consider the following with pageblock order = 10, zone start 2MB:
      
        pfn     | pfn - zone start | (pfn - zone start) >> page block order

      This means that calling {get,set}_pageblock_migratetype on a single page
      will not set the migratetype for the full block.  Fix this by rounding
      down zone_start_pfn when doing the bitidx calculation.
      
      For our use case, the effects of this bug were mostly tied to the fact
      that CMA allocations would either take a long time or fail to happen.
      Depending on the driver using CMA, this could result in anything from
      visual glitches to application failures.

      fs/exec.c: work around icc miscompilation · 6d92d4f6
      Xi Wang authored
      The tricky problem is this check:
      
      	if (i++ >= max)
      
      icc (mis)optimizes this check as:
      
      	if (++i > max)
      
      The check now becomes a no-op since max is MAX_ARG_STRINGS (0x7FFFFFFF).
      
      This is "allowed" by the C standard, assuming i++ never overflows,
      because signed integer overflow is undefined behavior.  This
      optimization effectively reverts the previous commit 362e6663
      ("exec.c, compat.c: fix count(), compat_count() bounds checking") that
      tries to fix the check.
      
      This patch simply moves ++ after the check.

      mm: compaction: fix echo 1 > compact_memory return error issue · 7964c06d
      Jason Liu authored
      when run the folloing command under shell, it will return error
      
        sh/$ echo 1 > /proc/sys/vm/compact_memory
        sh/$ sh: write error: Bad address
      
      After strace, I found the following log:
      
        ...
        write(1, "1\n", 2)               = 3
        write(1, "", 4294967295)         = -1 EFAULT (Bad address)
        write(2, "echo: write error: Bad address\n", 31echo: write error: Bad address
        ) = 31
      
      This tells system return 3(COMPACT_COMPLETE) after write data to
      compact_memory.
      
      The fix is to make the system just return 0 instead 3(COMPACT_COMPLETE)
      from sysctl_compaction_handler after compaction_nodes finished.

      mm: memblock: fix wrong memmove size in memblock_merge_regions() · c0232ae8
      Lin Feng authored
      The memmove span covers from (next+1) to the end of the array, and the
      index of next is (i+1), so the index of (next+1) is (i+2).  So the size
      of remaining array elements is (type->cnt - (i + 2)).
      
      Since the remaining elements of the memblock array are move forward by
      one element and there is only one additional element caused by this bug.
      So there won't be any write overflow here but read overflow.  It may
      read one more element out of the array address if the array happens to
      be full.  Commonly it doesn't matter at all but if the array happens to
      be located at the end a memblock, it may cause a invalid read operation
      for the physical address doesn't exist.
      
      There are 2 *happens to be* here, so I think the probability is quite
      low, I don't know if any guy is haunted by this bug before.
      
      Mostly I think it's user-invisible.

      drivers/video/ssd1307fb.c: fix bit order bug in the byte translation function · 552f0cc7
      Maxime Ripard authored
      This was leading to a strange behaviour when using the fbcon driver on
      top of this one: the letters were in the right order, but each letter
      had a vertical symmetry.
      
      This was because the addressing was right for the byte, but the
      addressing of each individual bit was inverted.

      mm: migrate: check page_count of THP before migrating · 04fa5d6a
      Mel Gorman authored
      Hugh Dickins pointed out that migrate_misplaced_transhuge_page() does
      not check page_count before migrating like base page migration and
      khugepage.  He could not see why this was safe and he is right.
      
      The potential impact of the bug is avoided due to the limitations of
      NUMA balancing.  The page_mapcount() check ensures that only a single
      address space is using this page and as THPs are typically private it
      should not be possible for another address space to fault it in
      parallel.  If the address space has one associated task then it's
      difficult to have both a GUP pin and be referencing the page at the same
      time.  If there are multiple tasks then a buggy scenario requires that
      another thread be accessing the page while the direct IO is in flight.
      This is dodgy behaviour as there is a possibility of corruption with or
      without THP migration.  It would be
      
      While we happen to be safe for the most part it is shoddy to depend on
      such "safety" so this patch checks the page count similar to anonymous
      pages.  Note that this does not mean that the page_mapcount() check can
      go away.  If we were to remove the page_mapcount() check the the THP
      would have to be unmapped from all referencing PTEs, replaced with
      migration PTEs and restored properly afterwards.

      lib: cpu_rmap: avoid flushing all workqueues · 896f97ea
      David Decotigny authored
      In some cases, free_irq_cpu_rmap() is called while holding a lock (eg
      rtnl).  This can lead to deadlocks, because it invokes
      flush_scheduled_work() which ends up waiting for whole system workqueue
      to flush, but some pending works might try to acquire the lock we are
      already holding.
      
      This commit uses reference-counting to replace
      irq_run_affinity_notifiers().  It also removes
      irq_run_affinity_notifiers() altogether.
