      cifs: Fix encryption of cleared, but unset rq_iter data buffers · 37de5a80
      David Howells authored
      Each smb_rqst struct contains two things: an array of kvecs (rq_iov) that
      contains the protocol data for an RPC op and an iterator (rq_iter) that
      contains the data payload of an RPC op.  When an smb_rqst is allocated
      rq_iter is it always cleared, but we don't set it up unless we're going to
      use it.
      
      The functions that determines the size of the ciphertext buffer that will
      be needed to encrypt a request, cifs_get_num_sgs(), assumes that rq_iter is
      always initialised - and employs user_backed_iter() to check that the
      iterator isn't user-backed.  This used to incidentally work, because
      ->user_backed was set to false because the iterator has never been
      initialised, but with commit f1b4cb65[1]
      which changes user_backed_iter() to determine this based on the iterator
      type insted, a warning is now emitted:
      
              WARNING: CPU: 7 PID: 4584 at fs/smb/client/cifsglob.h:2165 smb2_get_aead_req+0x3fc/0x420 [cifs]

               __se_sys_mount+0x143/0x1a0
      
      The problem is that rq_iter was never set, so the type is 0 (ie. ITER_UBUF)
      which causes user_backed_iter() to return true.  The code doesn't
      malfunction because it checks the size of the iterator - which is 0.
      
      Fix cifs_get_num_sgs() to ignore rq_iter if its count is 0, thereby
      bypassing the warnings.
      
      It might be better to explicitly initialise rq_iter to a zero-length
      ITER_BVEC, say, as it can always be reinitialised later.
      
      Fixes: d08089f6 ("cifs: Change the I/O paths to use an iterator rather than a page list")

      Pull x86 microcode loading updates from Borislac Petkov:
       "Major microcode loader restructuring, cleanup and improvements by
        Thomas Gleixner:
      
         - Restructure the code needed for it and add a temporary initrd
           mapping on 32-bit so that the loader can access the microcode
           blobs. This in itself is a preparation for the next major
           improvement:
      
         - Do not load microcode on 32-bit before paging has been enabled.
      
           Handling this has caused an endless stream of headaches, issues,
           ugly code and unnecessary hacks in the past. And there really
           wasn't any sensible reason to do that in the first place. So switch
           the 32-bit loading to happen after paging has been enabled and turn
           the loader code "real purrty" again
      
         - Drop mixed microcode steppings loading on Intel - there, a single
           patch loaded on the whole system is sufficient
      
         - Rework late loading to track which CPUs have updated microcode
           successfully and which haven't, act accordingly
      
         - Move late microcode loading on Intel in NMI context in order to
           guarantee concurrent loading on all threads
      
         - Make the late loading CPU-hotplug-safe and have the offlined
           threads be woken up for the purpose of the update
      
         - Add support for a minimum revision which determines whether late
           microcode loading is safe on a machine and the microcode does not
           change software visible features which the machine cannot use
           anyway since feature detection has happened already. Roughly, the
           minimum revision is the smallest revision number which must be
           loaded currently on the system so that late updates can be allowed
      
         - Other nice leanups, fixess, etc all over the place"

      Pull staging driver updates from Greg KH:
       "Here is the big set of staging driver updates for 6.7-rc1. A bit
        bigger than 6.6 this time around, as it coincided with the Outreachy
        and mentorship application process, so we got a bunch of new
        developers sending in their first changes, which is nice to see.
      
        Also in here is a removal of the qlge ethernet driver, and the
        rtl8192u wireless driver. Both of these were very old and no one was
        maintaining them, the wireless driver removal was due to no one using
        it anymore, and no hardware to be found, and is part of a larger
        effort to remove unused and old wifi drivers from the system.
      
        The qlge ethernet driver did have one user pop up after it was
        dropped, and we are working with the network mainainers to figure out
        what tree it will come back in from and who will be responsible for
        it, and if it really is being used or not. Odds are it will show up in
        a network subsystem pull request after -rc1 is out, but we aren't sure
        yet.
      
        Other smaller changes in here are:
      
         - Lots of vc04_services work by Umang to clean up the mess created by
           the rpi developers long ago, bringing it almost into good enough
           shape to get out of staging, hopefully next major release, it's
           getting close.
      
         - rtl8192e variable cleanups and removal of unused code and
           structures
      
         - vme_user coding style cleanups
      
         - other small coding style cleanups to lots of the staging drivers
      
         - octeon typedef removals, and then last-minute revert when it was
           found to break the build in some configurations (it's a hard driver
           to build properly, none of the normal automated testing catches
           it.)

      Pull apparmor updates from John Johansen:
       "This adds initial support for mediating io_uring and userns creation.
        Adds a new restriction that tightens the use of change_profile, and a
        couple of optimizations to reduce performance bottle necks that have
        been found when retrieving the current task's secid and allocating
        work buffers.
      
        The majority of the patch set continues cleaning up and simplifying
        the code (fixing comments, removing now dead functions, and macros
        etc). Finally there are 4 bug fixes, with the regression fix having
        had a couple months of testing.
      
        Features:
         - optimize retrieving current task secid
         - add base io_uring mediation
         - add base userns mediation
         - improve buffer allocation
         - allow restricting unprivilege change_profile
      
        Cleanups:
         - Fix kernel doc comments
         - remove unused declarations
         - remove unused functions
         - remove unneeded #ifdef
         - remove unused macros
         - mark fns static
         - cleanup fn with unused return values
         - cleanup audit data
         - pass cred through to audit data
         - refcount the pdb instead of using duplicates
         - make SK_CTX macro an inline fn
         - some comment cleanups
      
        Bug fixes:
         - fix regression in mount mediation
         - fix invalid refenece
         - use passed in gfp flags
         - advertise avaiability of extended perms and disconnected.path"

      Pull landlock updates from Mickaël Salaün:
       "A Landlock ruleset can now handle two new access rights:
        LANDLOCK_ACCESS_NET_BIND_TCP and LANDLOCK_ACCESS_NET_CONNECT_TCP. When
        handled, the related actions are denied unless explicitly allowed by a
        Landlock network rule for a specific port.
      
        The related patch series has been reviewed for almost two years, it
        has evolved a lot and we now have reached a decent design, code and
        testing. The refactored kernel code and the new test helpers also
        bring the foundation to support more network protocols.
      
        Test coverage for security/landlock is 92.4% of 710 lines according to
        gcc/gcov-13, and it was 93.1% of 597 lines before this series. The
        decrease in coverage is due to code refactoring to make the ruleset
        management more generic (i.e. dealing with inodes and ports) that also
        added new WARN_ON_ONCE() checks not possible to test from user space.
      
        syzkaller has been updated accordingly [4], and such patched instance
        (tailored to Landlock) has been running for a month, covering all the
        new network-related code [5]"

      Merge tag 'perf-tools-for-v6.7-1-2023-11-01' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/perf/perf-tools
      
      Pull perf tools updates from Namhyung Kim:
       "Build:
      
         - Compile BPF programs by default if clang (>= 12.0.1) is available
           to enable more features like kernel lock contention, off-cpu
           profiling, kwork, sample filtering and so on.
      
           This can be disabled by passing BUILD_BPF_SKEL=0 to make.
      
         - Produce better error messages for bison on debug build (make
           DEBUG=1) by defining YYDEBUG symbol internally.
      
        perf record:
      
         - Track sideband events (like FORK/MMAP) from all CPUs even if perf
           record targets a subset of CPUs only (using -C option). Otherwise
           it may lose some information happened on a CPU out of the target
           list.
      
         - Fix checking raw sched_switch tracepoint argument using system BTF.
           This affects off-cpu profiling which attaches a BPF program to the
           raw tracepoint.
      
        perf lock contention:
      
         - Add --lock-cgroup option to see contention by cgroups. This should
           be used with BPF only (using -b option).
      
             $ sudo perf lock con -ab --lock-cgroup -- sleep 1
              contended   total wait     max wait     avg wait   cgroup
      
                    835     14.06 ms     41.19 us     16.83 us   /system.slice/led.service
                     25    122.38 us     13.77 us      4.89 us   /
                     44     23.73 us      3.87 us       539 ns   /user.slice/user-657345.slice/session-c4.scope

         - Add -G/--cgroup-filter option to see contention only for given
           cgroups.
      
           This can be useful when you identified a cgroup in the above
           command and want to investigate more on it. It also works with
           other output options like -t/--threads and -l/--lock-addr.
      
             $ sudo perf lock con -ab -G /user.slice/user-657345.slice/session-c4.scope -- sleep 1
              contended   total wait     max wait     avg wait         type   caller

         - Use per-cpu array for better spinlock tracking. This is to improve
           performance of the BPF program and to avoid nested contention on a
           lock in the BPF hash map.
      
         - Update callstack check for PowerPC. To find a representative caller
           of a lock, it needs to look up the call stacks. It ends the lookup
           when it sees 0 in the call stack buffer. However, PowerPC call
           stacks can have 0 values in the beginning so skip them when it
           expects valid call stacks after.
      
        perf kwork:
      
         - Support 'sched' class (for -k option) so that it can see task
           scheduling event (using sched_switch tracepoint) as well as irq and
           workqueue items.
      
         - Add perf kwork top subcommand to show more accurate cpu utilization
           with sched class above. It works both with a recorded data (using
           perf kwork record command) and BPF (using -b option). Unlike perf
           top command, it does not support interactive mode (yet).

        perf bench:
      
         - Add -G/--cgroups option to perf bench sched pipe. The pipe bench is
           good to measure context switch overhead. With this option, it puts
           the reader and writer tasks in separate cgroups to enforce context
           switch between two different cgroups.
      
           Also it needs to set CPU affinity of the tasks in a CPU to
           accurately measure the impact of cgroup context switches.
      
             $ sudo perf stat -e context-switches,cgroup-switches -- \
             > taskset -c 0 perf bench sched pipe -l 100000

              Performance counter stats for 'taskset -c 0 perf bench sched pipe -l 100000':
      
                        200,026      context-switches
                             63      cgroup-switches
      
                    0.321637922 seconds time elapsed
      
           You can see small number of cgroup-switches because both write and
           read tasks are in the same cgroup.
      
             $ sudo mkdir /sys/fs/cgroup/{AAA,BBB}
      
             $ sudo perf stat -e context-switches,cgroup-switches -- \

             # Running 'sched/pipe' benchmark:
             # Executed 100000 pipe operations between two processes

                    0.365034567 seconds time elapsed
      
           Now context-switches and cgroup-switches are almost same. And you
           can see the pipe operation took little more.
      
         - Kill child processes when perf bench sched messaging exited
           abnormally. Otherwise it'd leave the child doing unnecessary work.
      
        perf test:
      
         - Fix various shellcheck issues on the tests written in shell script.
      
         - Skip tests when condition is not satisfied:
            - object code reading test for non-text section addresses.
            - CoreSight test if cs_etm// event is not available.
            - lock contention test if not enough CPUs.
      
        Event parsing:
      
         - Make PMU alias name loading lazy to reduce the startup time in the
           event parsing code for perf record, stat and others in the general
           case.
      
         - Lazily compute PMU default config. In the same sense, delay PMU
           initialization until it's really needed to reduce the startup cost.
      
         - Fix event term values that are raw events. The event specification
           can have several terms including event name. But sometimes it
           clashes with raw event encoding which starts with 'r' and has

      Pull tracing updates from Steven Rostedt:
      
       - Remove eventfs_file descriptor
      
         This is the biggest change, and the second part of making eventfs
         create its files dynamically.
      
         In 6.6 the first part was added, and that maintained a one to one
         mapping between eventfs meta descriptors and the directories and file
         inodes and dentries that were dynamically created. The directories
         were represented by a eventfs_inode and the files were represented by
         a eventfs_file.
      
         In v6.7 the eventfs_file is removed. As all events have the same
         directory make up (sched_switch has an "enable", "id", "format", etc
         files), the handing of what files are underneath each leaf eventfs
         directory is moved back to the tracing subsystem via a callback.
      
         When an event is added to the eventfs, it registers an array of
         evenfs_entry's. These hold the names of the files and the callbacks
         to call when the file is referenced. The callback gets the name so
         that the same callback may be used by multiple files. The callback
         then supplies the filesystem_operations structure needed to create
         this file.
      
         This has brought the memory footprint of creating multiple eventfs
         instances down by 2 megs each!
      
       - User events now has persistent events that are not associated to a
         single processes. These are privileged events that hang around even
         if no process is attached to them
      
       - Clean up of seq_buf
      
         There's talk about using seq_buf more to replace strscpy() and
         friends. But this also requires some minor modifications of seq_buf
         to be able to do this
      
       - Expand instance ring buffers individually
      
         Currently if boot up creates an instance, and a trace event is
         enabled on that instance, the ring buffer for that instance and the
         top level ring buffer are expanded (1.4 MB per CPU). This wastes
         memory as this happens when nothing is using the top level instance
      
       - Other minor clean ups and fixes

      Linus Torvalds authored
      Pull printk updates from Petr Mladek:
      
       - Another preparation step for introducing printk kthreads. The main
         piece is a per-console lock with several features:
      
          - Support three priorities: normal, emergency, and panic. They will
            be defined by a context where the lock is taken. A context with a
            higher priority is allowed to take over the lock from a context
            with a lower one.
      
            The plan is to use the emergency context for Oops and WARN()
            messages, and also by watchdogs.
      
            The panic() context will be used on panic CPU.
      
          - The owner might enter/exit regions where it is not safe to take
            over the lock. It allows the take over the lock a safe way in the
            middle of a message.
      
            For example, serial drivers emit characters one by one. And the
            serial port is in a safe state in between.
      
            Only the final console_flush_in_panic() will be allowed to take
            over the lock even in the unsafe state (last chance, pray, and
            hope).
      
          - A higher priority context might busy wait with a timeout. The
            current owner is informed about the waiter and releases the lock
            on exit from the unsafe state.
      
          - The new lock is safe even in atomic contexts, including NMI.
      
         Another change is a safe manipulation of per-console sequence number
         counter under the new lock.
      
       - simple_strntoull() micro-optimization
      
       - Reduce pr_flush() pooling time.
      
       - Calm down false warning about possible buffer invalid access to
         console buffers when CONFIG_PRINTK is disabled.
      
      [ .. and Thomas Gleixner wants to point out that while several of the
        commits are attributed to him, he only authored the early versions of
        said commits, and that John Ogness and Petr Mladek have been the ones
        who sorted out the details and really should be those who get the
        credit   - Linus ]
