rarely ever hit, and requires the user to do something that users rarely
do. It took a few special test cases to even trigger this bug,
and one of them was just one test in the process of finishing up as another
one started.
Both bugs have to do with the ring buffer iterator rb_iter_peek(), but one
is more indirect than the other.
The fist bug fix is simply an increase in the safety net loop counter.
The counter makes sure that the rb_iter_peek() only iterates the number
of times we expect it can, and no more. Well, there was one way it could
iterate one more than we expected, and that caused the ring buffer
to shutdown with a nasty warning. The fix was simply to up that counter by
one.
The other bug has to be with rb_iter_reset() (called by rb_iter_peek()).
This happens when a user reads both the trace_pipe and trace files.
The trace_pipe is a consuming read and does not use the ring buffer
iterator, but the trace file is not a consuming read and does use the
ring buffer iterator. When the trace file is being read, if it detects
that a consuming read occurred, it resets the iterator and starts over.
But the reset code that does this (rb_iter_reset()), checks if the
reader_page is linked to the ring buffer or not, and will look into
the ring buffer itself if it is not. This is wrong, as it should always
try to read the reader page first. Not to mention, the code that looked
into the ring buffer did it wrong, and used the header_page "read" offset
to start reading on that page. That offset is bogus for pages in the
writable ring buffer, and was corrupting the iterator, and it would start
returning bogus events.

Pull namespace updates from Eric Biederman:
"This is a bunch of small changes built against 3.16-rc6. The most
significant change for users is the first patch which makes setns
drmatically faster by removing unneded rcu handling.
The next chunk of changes are so that "mount -o remount,.." will not
allow the user namespace root to drop flags on a mount set by the
system wide root. Aks this forces read-only mounts to stay read-only,
no-dev mounts to stay no-dev, no-suid mounts to stay no-suid, no-exec
mounts to stay no exec and it prevents unprivileged users from messing
with a mounts atime settings. I have included my test case as the
last patch in this series so people performing backports can verify
this change works correctly.
The next change fixes a bug in NFS that was discovered while auditing
nsproxy users for the first optimization. Today you can oops the
kernel by reading /proc/fs/nfsfs/{servers,volumes} if you are clever
with pid namespaces. I rebased and fixed the build of the
!CONFIG_NFS_FS case yesterday when a build bot caught my typo. Given
that no one to my knowledge bases anything on my tree fixing the typo
in place seems more responsible that requiring a typo-fix to be
backported as well.
The last change is a small semantic cleanup introducing
/proc/thread-self and pointing /proc/mounts and /proc/net at it. This
prevents several kinds of problemantic corner cases. It is a
user-visible change so it has a minute chance of causing regressions
so the change to /proc/mounts and /proc/net are individual one line
commits that can be trivially reverted. Unfortunately I lost and
could not find the email of the original reporter so he is not
credited. From at least one perspective this change to /proc/net is a
refgression fix to allow pthread /proc/net uses that were broken by
the introduction of the network namespace"

Both patches were posted earlier this week to the SELinux list, and
that is where they sat as I didn't think there were noteworthy enough
to go upstream at this point in time, but DaveM would rather see them
upstream now so who am I to argue. As the patches are both very

remainder of the changes are the usual small cleanups such as removing
redundant OOM messages, signalling that a PWM chip's operations can
sleep and removing an unneeded dependency.

cycle, and this time we got a lot of action going on and
it will continue:
- The core GPIO library implementation has been split up in
three different files:
- gpiolib.c for the latest and greatest and shiny GPIO
library code using GPIO descriptors only
- gpiolib-legacy.c for the old integer number space API
that we are phasing out gradually
- gpiolib-sysfs.c for the sysfs interface that we are
not entirely happy with, but has to live on for
ABI compatibility
- Add a flags argument to *gpiod_get* functions, with some
backward-compatibility macros to ease transitions. We
should have had the flags there from the beginning it
seems, now we need to clean up the mess. There is a plan
on how to move forward here devised by Alexandre Courbot
and Mark Brown.
- Split off a special <linux/gpio/machine.h> header for the
board gpio table registration, as per example from the
regulator subsystem.
- Start to kill off the return value from gpiochip_remove()
by removing the __must_check attribute and removing all
checks inside the drivers/gpio directory. The rationale
is: well what were we supposed to do if there is an error
code? Not much: print an error message. And gpiolib already
does that. So make this function return void eventually.
- Some cleanups of hairy gpiolib code, make some functions
not to be used outside the library private and make sure
they are not exported, remove gpiod_lock/unlock_as_irq()
as the existing function is for driver-internal use and
fine as it is, delete gpio_ensure_requested() as it is
not meaningful anymore.
- Support the GPIOF_ACTIVE_LOW flag from gpio_request_one()
function calls, which is logical since this is already
supported when referencing GPIOs from e.g. device trees.
- Switch STMPE, intel-mid, lynxpoint and ACPI (!) to use
the gpiolib irqchip helpers cutting down on GPIO irqchip
boilerplate a bit more.
- New driver for the Zynq GPIO block.
- The usual incremental improvements around a bunch of

- Janitorial syntactic and semantic cleanups by Jingoo Han,

This is the final piece of the puzzle of verifying kernel image signature
during kexec_file_load() syscall.
This patch calls into PE file routines to verify signature of bzImage. If
signature are valid, kexec_file_load() succeeds otherwise it fails.
Two new config options have been introduced. First one is
CONFIG_KEXEC_VERIFY_SIG. This option enforces that kernel has to be
validly signed otherwise kernel load will fail. If this option is not
set, no signature verification will be done. Only exception will be when
secureboot is enabled. In that case signature verification should be
automatically enforced when secureboot is enabled. But that will happen
when secureboot patches are merged.
Second config option is CONFIG_KEXEC_BZIMAGE_VERIFY_SIG. This option
enables signature verification support on bzImage. If this option is not
set and previous one is set, kernel image loading will fail because kernel
does not have support to verify signature of bzImage.
I tested these patches with both "pesign" and "sbsign" signed bzImages.
I used signing_key.priv key and signing_key.x509 cert for signing as
generated during kernel build process (if module signing is enabled).
Used following method to sign bzImage.
pesign
======
- Convert DER format cert to PEM format cert
openssl x509 -in signing_key.x509 -inform DER -out signing_key.x509.PEM -outform
PEM
- Generate a .p12 file from existing cert and private key file
openssl pkcs12 -export -out kernel-key.p12 -inkey signing_key.priv -in
signing_key.x509.PEM
- Import .p12 file into pesign db
pk12util -i /tmp/kernel-key.p12 -d /etc/pki/pesign
- Sign bzImage
pesign -i /boot/vmlinuz-3.16.0-rc3+ -o /boot/vmlinuz-3.16.0-rc3+.signed.pesign
-c "Glacier signing key - Magrathea" -s
sbsign
======
sbsign --key signing_key.priv --cert signing_key.x509.PEM --output
/boot/vmlinuz-3.16.0-rc3+.signed.sbsign /boot/vmlinuz-3.16.0-rc3+
Patch details:
Well all the hard work is done in previous patches. Now bzImage loader
has just call into that code and verify whether bzImage signature are
valid or not.
Also create two config options. First one is CONFIG_KEXEC_VERIFY_SIG.
This option enforces that kernel has to be validly signed otherwise kernel
load will fail. If this option is not set, no signature verification will
be done. Only exception will be when secureboot is enabled. In that case
signature verification should be automatically enforced when secureboot is
enabled. But that will happen when secureboot patches are merged.
Second config option is CONFIG_KEXEC_BZIMAGE_VERIFY_SIG. This option
enables signature verification support on bzImage. If this option is not
set and previous one is set, kernel image loading will fail because kernel
does not have support to verify signature of bzImage.

This patch does two things. It passes EFI run time mappings to second
kernel in bootparams efi_info. Second kernel parse this info and create
new mappings in second kernel. That means mappings in first and second
kernel will be same. This paves the way to enable EFI in kexec kernel.
This patch also prepares and passes EFI setup data through bootparams.
This contains bunch of information about various tables and their
addresses.
These information gathering and passing has been written along the lines
of what current kexec-tools is doing to make kexec work with UEFI.

Load purgatory code in RAM and relocate it based on the location.
Relocation code has been inspired by module relocation code and purgatory
relocation code in kexec-tools.
Also compute the checksums of loaded kexec segments and store them in
purgatory.
Arch independent code provides this functionality so that arch dependent
bootloaders can make use of it.
Helper functions are provided to get/set symbol values in purgatory which
are used by bootloaders later to set things like stack and entry point of
second kernel etc.

Create a stand alone relocatable object purgatory which runs between two
kernels. This name, concept and some code has been taken from
kexec-tools. Idea is that this code runs after a crash and it runs in
minimal environment. So keep it separate from rest of the kernel and in
long term we will have to practically do no maintenance of this code.
This code also has the logic to do verify sha256 hashes of various
segments which have been loaded into memory. So first we verify that the
kernel we are jumping to is fine and has not been corrupted and make
progress only if checsums are verified.
This code also takes care of copying some memory contents to backup region.

Next two patches provide code for purgatory. This is a code which does
not link against the kernel and runs stand alone. This code runs between
two kernels. One of the primary purpose of this code is to verify the
digest of newly loaded kernel and making sure it matches the digest
computed at kernel load time.
We use sha256 for calculating digest of kexec segmetns. Purgatory can't
use stanard crypto API as that API is not available in purgatory context.
Hence, I have copied code from crypto/sha256_generic.c and compiled it
with purgaotry code so that it could be used. I could not #include
sha256_generic.c file here as some of the function signature requiered
little tweaking. Original functions work with crypto API but these ones
don't
So instead of doing #include on sha256_generic.c I just copied relevant
portions of code into arch/x86/purgatory/sha256.c. Now we shouldn't have
to touch this code at all. Do let me know if there are better ways to
handle it.
This patch does not enable compiling of this code. That happens in next
patch. I wanted to highlight this change in a separate patch for easy
review.

Previous patch provided the interface definition and this patch prvides
implementation of new syscall.
Previously segment list was prepared in user space. Now user space just
passes kernel fd, initrd fd and command line and kernel will create a
segment list internally.
This patch contains generic part of the code. Actual segment preparation
and loading is done by arch and image specific loader. Which comes in
next patch.

reserved the syscall number only for x86_64 so far. Other architectures
(including i386) can reserve syscall number when they enable the support

So far kexec_segment->buf was always a user space pointer as user space
passed the array of kexec_segment structures and kernel copied it.
But with new system call, list of kexec segments will be prepared by
kernel and kexec_segment->buf will point to a kernel memory.
So while I was adding code where I made assumption that ->buf is pointing
to kernel memory, sparse started giving warning.
Make ->buf a union. And where a user space pointer is expected, access it
using ->buf and where a kernel space pointer is expected, access it using
->kbuf. That takes care of sparse warnings.

I have added two more functions to walk through resources.
Currently walk_system_ram_range() deals with pfn and /proc/iomem can
contain partial pages. By dealing in pfn, callback function loses the
info that last page of a memory range is a partial page and not the full
page. So I implemented walk_system_ram_res() which returns u64 values to
callback functions and now it properly return start and end address.
walk_system_ram_range() uses find_next_system_ram() to find the next ram
resource. This in turn only travels through siblings of top level child
and does not travers through all the nodes of the resoruce tree. I also
need another function where I can walk through all the resources, for
example figure out where "GART" aperture is. Figure out where ACPI memory
is.
So I wrote another function walk_iomem_res() which walks through all
/proc/iomem resources and returns matches as asked by caller. Caller can
specify "name" of resource, start and end and flags.
Got rid of find_next_system_ram_res() and instead implemented more generic
find_next_iomem_res() which can be used to traverse top level children
only based on an argument.

kimage_normal_alloc() and kimage_crash_alloc() are doing lot of similar
things and differ only little. So instead of having two separate
functions create a common function kimage_alloc_init() and pass it the
"flags" argument which tells whether it is normal kexec or kexec_on_panic.
And this function should be able to deal with both the cases.
This consolidation also helps later where we can use a common function
kimage_file_alloc_init() to handle normal and crash cases for new file
based kexec syscall.

Previously do_kimage_alloc() will allocate a kimage structure, copy
segment list from user space and then do the segment list sanity
verification.
Break down this function in 3 parts. do_kimage_alloc_init() to do actual
allocation and basic initialization of kimage structure.
copy_user_segment_list() to copy segment list from user space and
sanity_check_segment_list() to verify the sanity of segment list as passed
by user space.
In later patches, I need to only allocate kimage and not copy segment list
from user space. So breaking down in smaller functions enables re-use of
code at other places.

This patch series does not do kernel signature verification yet. I plan
to post another patch series for that. Now distributions are already
signing PE/COFF bzImage with PKCS7 signature I plan to parse and verify
those signatures.
Primary goal of this patchset is to prepare groundwork so that kernel
image can be signed and signatures be verified during kexec load. This
should help with two things.
- It should allow kexec/kdump on secureboot enabled machines.
- In general it can help even without secureboot. By being able to verify
kernel image signature in kexec, it should help with avoiding module
signing restrictions. Matthew Garret showed how to boot into a custom
kernel, modify first kernel's memory and then jump back to old kernel and
bypass any policy one wants to.
This patch (of 15):
Kexec wants to use bin2c and it wants to use it really early in the build
process. See arch/x86/purgatory/ code in later patches.
So move bin2c in scripts/basic so that it can be built very early and
be usable by arch/x86/purgatory/

If we set SEAL_WRITE on a file, we must make sure there cannot be any
ongoing write-operations on the file. For write() calls, we simply lock
the inode mutex, for mmap() we simply verify there're no writable
mappings. However, there might be pages pinned by AIO, Direct-IO and
similar operations via GUP. We must make sure those do not write to the
memfd file after we set SEAL_WRITE.
As there is no way to notify GUP users to drop pages or to wait for them
to be done, we implement the wait ourself: When setting SEAL_WRITE, we
check all pages for their ref-count. If it's bigger than 1, we know
there's some user of the page. We then mark the page and wait for up to
150ms for those ref-counts to be dropped. If the ref-counts are not
dropped in time, we refuse the seal operation.

Setting SEAL_WRITE is not possible if there're pending GUP users. This
commit adds selftests for memfd+sealing that use FUSE to create pending
page-references. FUSE is very helpful here in that it allows us to delay
direct-IO operations for an arbitrary amount of time. This way, we can
force the kernel to pin pages and then run our normal selftests.

memfd_create() is similar to mmap(MAP_ANON), but returns a file-descriptor
that you can pass to mmap(). It can support sealing and avoids any
connection to user-visible mount-points. Thus, it's not subject to quotas
on mounted file-systems, but can be used like malloc()'ed memory, but with
a file-descriptor to it.
memfd_create() returns the raw shmem file, so calls like ftruncate() can
be used to modify the underlying inode. Also calls like fstat() will
return proper information and mark the file as regular file. If you want
sealing, you can specify MFD_ALLOW_SEALING. Otherwise, sealing is not
supported (like on all other regular files).
Compared to O_TMPFILE, it does not require a tmpfs mount-point and is not
subject to a filesystem size limit. It is still properly accounted to
memcg limits, though, and to the same overcommit or no-overcommit
accounting as all user memory.

If two processes share a common memory region, they usually want some
guarantees to allow safe access. This often includes:
- one side cannot overwrite data while the other reads it
- one side cannot shrink the buffer while the other accesses it
- one side cannot grow the buffer beyond previously set boundaries
If there is a trust-relationship between both parties, there is no need
for policy enforcement. However, if there's no trust relationship (eg.,
for general-purpose IPC) sharing memory-regions is highly fragile and
often not possible without local copies. Look at the following two
use-cases:
1) A graphics client wants to share its rendering-buffer with a
graphics-server. The memory-region is allocated by the client for
read/write access and a second FD is passed to the server. While
scanning out from the memory region, the server has no guarantee that
the client doesn't shrink the buffer at any time, requiring rather
cumbersome SIGBUS handling.
2) A process wants to perform an RPC on another process. To avoid huge
bandwidth consumption, zero-copy is preferred. After a message is
assembled in-memory and a FD is passed to the remote side, both sides
want to be sure that neither modifies this shared copy, anymore. The
source may have put sensible data into the message without a separate
copy and the target may want to parse the message inline, to avoid a
local copy.
While SIGBUS handling, POSIX mandatory locking and MAP_DENYWRITE provide
ways to achieve most of this, the first one is unproportionally ugly to
use in libraries and the latter two are broken/racy or even disabled due
to denial of service attacks.
This patch introduces the concept of SEALING. If you seal a file, a
specific set of operations is blocked on that file forever. Unlike locks,
seals can only be set, never removed. Hence, once you verified a specific
set of seals is set, you're guaranteed that no-one can perform the blocked
operations on this file, anymore.
An initial set of SEALS is introduced by this patch:
- SHRINK: If SEAL_SHRINK is set, the file in question cannot be reduced
in size. This affects ftruncate() and open(O_TRUNC).
- GROW: If SEAL_GROW is set, the file in question cannot be increased
in size. This affects ftruncate(), fallocate() and write().
- WRITE: If SEAL_WRITE is set, no write operations (besides resizing)
are possible. This affects fallocate(PUNCH_HOLE), mmap() and
write().
- SEAL: If SEAL_SEAL is set, no further seals can be added to a file.
This basically prevents the F_ADD_SEAL operation on a file and
can be set to prevent others from adding further seals that you
don't want.
The described use-cases can easily use these seals to provide safe use
without any trust-relationship:
1) The graphics server can verify that a passed file-descriptor has
SEAL_SHRINK set. This allows safe scanout, while the client is
allowed to increase buffer size for window-resizing on-the-fly.
Concurrent writes are explicitly allowed.
2) For general-purpose IPC, both processes can verify that SEAL_SHRINK,
SEAL_GROW and SEAL_WRITE are set. This guarantees that neither
process can modify the data while the other side parses it.
Furthermore, it guarantees that even with writable FDs passed to the
peer, it cannot increase the size to hit memory-limits of the source
process (in case the file-storage is accounted to the source).
The new API is an extension to fcntl(), adding two new commands:
F_GET_SEALS: Return a bitset describing the seals on the file. This
can be called on any FD if the underlying file supports
sealing.
F_ADD_SEALS: Change the seals of a given file. This requires WRITE
access to the file and F_SEAL_SEAL may not already be set.
Furthermore, the underlying file must support sealing and
there may not be any existing shared mapping of that file.
Otherwise, EBADF/EPERM is returned.
The given seals are _added_ to the existing set of seals
on the file. You cannot remove seals again.
The fcntl() handler is currently specific to shmem and disabled on all
files. A file needs to explicitly support sealing for this interface to
work. A separate syscall is added in a follow-up, which creates files that
support sealing. There is no intention to support this on other
file-systems. Semantics are unclear for non-volatile files and we lack any
use-case right now. Therefore, the implementation is specific to shmem.

This patch (of 6):
The i_mmap_writable field counts existing writable mappings of an
address_space. To allow drivers to prevent new writable mappings, make
this counter signed and prevent new writable mappings if it is negative.
This is modelled after i_writecount and DENYWRITE.
This will be required by the shmem-sealing infrastructure to prevent any
new writable mappings after the WRITE seal has been set. In case there
exists a writable mapping, this operation will fail with EBUSY.
Note that we rely on the fact that iff you already own a writable mapping,
you can increase the counter without using the helpers. This is the same
that we do for i_writecount.
