A pipe's size is represented as an 'unsigned int'. As expected, writing a
value greater than UINT_MAX to /proc/sys/fs/pipe-max-size fails with
EINVAL. However, the F_SETPIPE_SZ fcntl silently truncates such values to
32 bits, rather than failing with EINVAL as expected. (It *does* fail
with EINVAL for values above (1 << 31) but <= UINT_MAX.)
Fix this by moving the check against UINT_MAX into round_pipe_size() which
is called in both cases.

pipe_proc_fn() is no longer needed, as it only calls through to
proc_dopipe_max_size(). Just put proc_dopipe_max_size() in the ctl_table
entry directly, and remove the unneeded EXPORT_SYMBOL() and the ENOSYS
stub for it.
(The reason the ENOSYS stub isn't needed is that the pipe-max-size
ctl_table entry is located directly in 'kern_table' rather than being
registered separately. Therefore, the entry is already only defined when
the kernel is built with sysctl support.)

Patch series "pipe: buffer limits fixes and cleanups", v2.
This series simplifies the sysctl handler for pipe-max-size and fixes
another set of bugs related to the pipe buffer limits:
- The root user wasn't allowed to exceed the limits when creating new
pipes.
- There was an off-by-one error when checking the limits, so a limit of
N was actually treated as N - 1.
- F_SETPIPE_SZ accepted values over UINT_MAX.
- Reading the pipe buffer limits could be racy.
This patch (of 7):
Before validating the given value against pipe_min_size,
do_proc_dopipe_max_size_conv() calls round_pipe_size(), which rounds the
value up to pipe_min_size. Therefore, the second check against
pipe_min_size is redundant. Remove it.

hugepages_treat_as_movable has been introduced by 396faf0303 ("Allow
huge page allocations to use GFP_HIGH_MOVABLE") to allow hugetlb
allocations from ZONE_MOVABLE even when hugetlb pages were not
migrateable. The purpose of the movable zone was different at the time.
It aimed at reducing memory fragmentation and hugetlb pages being long
lived and large werre not contributing to the fragmentation so it was
acceptable to use the zone back then.
Things have changed though and the primary purpose of the zone became
migratability guarantee. If we allow non migrateable hugetlb pages to
be in ZONE_MOVABLE memory hotplug might fail to offline the memory.
Remove the knob and only rely on hugepage_migration_supported to allow
movable zones.
Mel said:
: Primarily it was aimed at allowing the hugetlb pool to safely shrink with
: the ability to grow it again. The use case was for batched jobs, some of
: which needed huge pages and others that did not but didn't want the memory
: useless pinned in the huge pages pool.
:
: I suspect that more users rely on THP than hugetlbfs for flexible use of
: huge pages with fallback options so I think that removing the option
: should be ok.

Mikulas noticed in the existing do_proc_douintvec_minmax_conv() and
do_proc_dopipe_max_size_conv() introduced in this patchset, that they
inconsistently handle overflow and min/max range inputs:
For example:
0 ... param->min - 1 ---> ERANGE
param->min ... param->max ---> the value is accepted
param->max + 1 ... 0x100000000L + param->min - 1 ---> ERANGE
0x100000000L + param->min ... 0x100000000L + param->max ---> EINVAL
0x100000000L + param->max + 1, 0x200000000L + param->min - 1 ---> ERANGE
0x200000000L + param->min ... 0x200000000L + param->max ---> EINVAL
0x200000000L + param->max + 1, 0x300000000L + param->min - 1 ---> ERANGE
In do_proc_do*() routines which store values into unsigned int variables
(4 bytes wide for 64-bit builds), first validate that the input unsigned
long value (8 bytes wide for 64-bit builds) will fit inside the smaller
unsigned int variable. Then check that the unsigned int value falls
inside the specified parameter min, max range. Otherwise the unsigned
long -> unsigned int conversion drops leading bits from the input value,
leading to the inconsistent pattern Mikulas documented above.

pipe_max_size is assigned directly via procfs sysctl:
static struct ctl_table fs_table[] = {
...
{
.procname = "pipe-max-size",
.data = &pipe_max_size,
.maxlen = sizeof(int),
.mode = 0644,
.proc_handler = &pipe_proc_fn,

size_t *lenp, loff_t *ppos)
{

ret = proc_dointvec_minmax(table, write, buf, lenp, ppos)
...
and then later rounded in-place a few statements later:
...
pipe_max_size = round_pipe_size(pipe_max_size);
...
This leaves a window of time between initial assignment and rounding
that may be visible to other threads. (For example, one thread sets a
non-rounded value to pipe_max_size while another reads its value.)
Similar reads of pipe_max_size are potentially racy:
pipe.c :: alloc_pipe_info()
pipe.c :: pipe_set_size()
Add a new proc_dopipe_max_size() that consolidates reading the new value
from the user buffer, verifying bounds, and calling round_pipe_size()
with a single assignment to pipe_max_size.

Patch series "A few round_pipe_size() and pipe-max-size fixups", v3.
While backporting Michael's "pipe: fix limit handling" patchset to a
distro-kernel, Mikulas noticed that current upstream pipe limit handling
contains a few problems:
1 - procfs signed wrap: echo'ing a large number into
/proc/sys/fs/pipe-max-size and then cat'ing it back out shows a
negative value.
2 - round_pipe_size() nr_pages overflow on 32bit: this would
subsequently try roundup_pow_of_two(0), which is undefined.
3 - visible non-rounded pipe-max-size value: there is no mutual
exclusion or protection between the time pipe_max_size is assigned
a raw value from proc_dointvec_minmax() and when it is rounded.
4 - unsigned long -> unsigned int conversion makes for potential odd
return errors from do_proc_douintvec_minmax_conv() and
do_proc_dopipe_max_size_conv().
This version underwent the same testing as v1:
https://marc.info/?l=linux-kernel&m=150643571406022&w=2
This patch (of 4):
pipe_max_size is defined as an unsigned int:
unsigned int pipe_max_size = 1048576;
but its procfs/sysctl representation is an integer:
static struct ctl_table fs_table[] = {
...
{
.procname = "pipe-max-size",
.data = &pipe_max_size,
.maxlen = sizeof(int),
.mode = 0644,
.proc_handler = &pipe_proc_fn,
.extra1 = &pipe_min_size,
},
...
that is signed:
int pipe_proc_fn(struct ctl_table *table, int write, void __user *buf,
size_t *lenp, loff_t *ppos)
{
...
ret = proc_dointvec_minmax(table, write, buf, lenp, ppos)
This leads to signed results via procfs for large values of pipe_max_size:
% echo 2147483647 >/proc/sys/fs/pipe-max-size
% cat /proc/sys/fs/pipe-max-size
-2147483648
Use unsigned operations on this variable to avoid such negative values.

This is the second step which introduces a tunable interface that allow
numa stats configurable for optimizing zone_statistics(), as suggested
by Dave Hansen and Ying Huang.
=========================================================================
When page allocation performance becomes a bottleneck and you can
tolerate some possible tool breakage and decreased numa counter
precision, you can do:
echo 0 > /proc/sys/vm/numa_stat
In this case, numa counter update is ignored. We can see about
*4.8%*(185->176) drop of cpu cycles per single page allocation and
reclaim on Jesper's page_bench01 (single thread) and *8.1%*(343->315)
drop of cpu cycles per single page allocation and reclaim on Jesper's
page_bench03 (88 threads) running on a 2-Socket Broadwell-based server
(88 threads, 126G memory).
Benchmark link provided by Jesper D Brouer (increase loop times to
10000000):
https://github.com/netoptimizer/prototype-kernel/tree/master/kernel/mm/bench
=========================================================================
When page allocation performance is not a bottleneck and you want all
tooling to work, you can do:
echo 1 > /proc/sys/vm/numa_stat
This is system default setting.

Pull watchddog clean-up and fixes from Thomas Gleixner:
"The watchdog (hard/softlockup detector) code is pretty much broken in
its current state. The patch series addresses this by removing all
duct tape and refactoring it into a workable state.
The reasons why I ask for inclusion that late in the cycle are:
1) The code causes lockdep splats vs. hotplug locking which get
reported over and over. Unfortunately there is no easy fix.
2) The risk of breakage is minimal because it's already broken
3) As 4.14 is a long term stable kernel, I prefer to have working
watchdog code in that and the lockdep issues resolved. I wouldn't
ask you to pull if 4.14 wouldn't be a LTS kernel or if the
solution would be easy to backport.
4) The series was around before the merge window opened, but then got
delayed due to the UP failure caused by the for_each_cpu()
surprise which we discussed recently.
Changes vs. V1:
- Addressed your review points
- Addressed the warning in the powerpc code which was discovered late
- Changed two function names which made sense up to a certain point
in the series. Now they match what they do in the end.
- Fixed a 'unused variable' warning, which got not detected by the
intel robot. I triggered it when trying all possible related config
combinations manually. Randconfig testing seems not random enough.
The changes have been tested by and reviewed by Don Zickus and tested
and acked by Micheal Ellerman for powerpc"

Split SOFTLOCKUP_DETECTOR from LOCKUP_DETECTOR, and split
HARDLOCKUP_DETECTOR_PERF from HARDLOCKUP_DETECTOR.
LOCKUP_DETECTOR implies the general boot, sysctl, and programming
interfaces for the lockup detectors.
An architecture that wants to use a hard lockup detector must define
HAVE_HARDLOCKUP_DETECTOR_PERF or HAVE_HARDLOCKUP_DETECTOR_ARCH.
Alternatively an arch can define HAVE_NMI_WATCHDOG, which provides the
minimum arch_touch_nmi_watchdog, and it otherwise does its own thing and
does not implement the LOCKUP_DETECTOR interfaces.
sparc is unusual in that it has started to implement some of the
interfaces, but not fully yet. It should probably be converted to a full
HAVE_HARDLOCKUP_DETECTOR_ARCH.

Commit e7d316a02f ("sysctl: handle error writing UINT_MAX to u32
fields") added proc_douintvec() to start help adding support for
unsigned int, this however was only half the work needed. Two fixes
have come in since then for the following issues:
o Printing the values shows a negative value, this happens since
do_proc_dointvec() and this uses proc_put_long()
This was fixed by commit 5380e5644a ("sysctl: don't print negative
flag for proc_douintvec").
o We can easily wrap around the int values: UINT_MAX is 4294967295, if
we echo in 4294967295 + 1 we end up with 0, using 4294967295 + 2 we
end up with 1.
o We echo negative values in and they are accepted
This was fixed by commit 425fffd886 ("sysctl: report EINVAL if value
is larger than UINT_MAX for proc_douintvec").
It still also failed to be added to sysctl_check_table()... instead of
adding it with the current implementation just provide a proper and
simplified unsigned int support without any array unsigned int support
with no negative support at all.
Historically sysctl proc helpers have supported arrays, due to the
complexity this adds though we've taken a step back to evaluate array
users to determine if its worth upkeeping for unsigned int. An
evaluation using Coccinelle has been done to perform a grammatical
search to ask ourselves:
o How many sysctl proc_dointvec() (int) users exist which likely
should be moved over to proc_douintvec() (unsigned int) ?
Answer: about 8
- Of these how many are array users ?
Answer: Probably only 1
o How many sysctl array users exist ?
Answer: about 12
This last question gives us an idea just how popular arrays: they are not.
Array support should probably just be kept for strings.
The identified uint ports are:
drivers/infiniband/core/ucma.c - max_backlog
drivers/infiniband/core/iwcm.c - default_backlog
net/core/sysctl_net_core.c - rps_sock_flow_sysctl()
net/netfilter/nf_conntrack_timestamp.c - nf_conntrack_timestamp -- bool
net/netfilter/nf_conntrack_acct.c nf_conntrack_acct -- bool
net/netfilter/nf_conntrack_ecache.c - nf_conntrack_events -- bool
net/netfilter/nf_conntrack_helper.c - nf_conntrack_helper -- bool
net/phonet/sysctl.c proc_local_port_range()
The only possible array users is proc_local_port_range() but it does not
seem worth it to add array support just for this given the range support
works just as well. Unsigned int support should be desirable more for
when you *need* more than INT_MAX or using int min/max support then does
not suffice for your ranges.
If you forget and by mistake happen to register an unsigned int proc
entry with an array, the driver will fail and you will get something as
follows:

do_proc_dointvec_jiffies_conv() uses LONG_MAX/HZ as the max value to
avoid overflow. But actually the *valp is int type, so it still causes
overflow.
For example,
echo 2147483647 > ./sys/net/ipv4/tcp_keepalive_time
Then,
cat ./sys/net/ipv4/tcp_keepalive_time
The output is "-1", it is not expected.
Now use INT_MAX/HZ as the max value instead LONG_MAX/HZ to fix it.

Currently, inputting the following command will succeed but actually the

# cat /proc/sys/net/ipv4/tcp_notsent_lowat

Because we forget to set the *negp flag in proc_douintvec, so it will
become a garbage value.
Since the value related to proc_douintvec is always an unsigned integer,
so we can set *negp to false explictily to fix this issue.

We added the 'sched_rr_timeslice_ms' SCHED_RR tuning knob in this commit:
ce0dbbbb30 ("sched/rt: Add a tuning knob to allow changing SCHED_RR timeslice")
... which name suggests to users that it's in milliseconds, while in reality
it's being set in milliseconds but the result is shown in jiffies.
This is obviously confusing when HZ is not 1000, it makes it appear like the
value set failed, such as HZ=100:
root# echo 100 > /proc/sys/kernel/sched_rr_timeslice_ms
root# cat /proc/sys/kernel/sched_rr_timeslice_ms

I was amused to find "unsafe core_pattern" warning having these lines in
/etc/sysctl.conf:
fs.suid_dumpable=2
kernel.core_pattern=/core/core-%e-%p-%E
kernel.core_uses_pid=0
Turns out kernel is formally right. Default core_pattern is just "core",
which doesn't qualify for secure path while setting suid.dumpable.
Hint admins about solution, clarify sysctl names, delete unnecessary '\'
characters (string literals are concatenated regardless) and reformat for
easier grepping.

Currently, when tracepoint_printk is set (enabled by the "tp_printk" kernel
command line), it causes trace events to print via printk(). This is a very
dangerous operation, but is useful for debugging.
The issue is, it's seldom used, but it is always checked even if it's not
enabled by the kernel command line. Instead of having this feature called by
a branch against a variable, turn that variable into a static key, and this
will remove the test and jump.
To simplify things, the functions output_printk() and
trace_event_buffer_commit() were moved from trace_events.c to trace.c.

For mostly historical reasons, the x86 oops dump shows the raw stack
values:
...

Stack:
ffff880079af7350 ffff880079905400 0000000000000000 ffffc900008f3ae0
ffffffffa0196610 0000000000000001 00010000ffffffff 0000000087654321

Call Trace:
...
This seems to be an artifact from long ago, and probably isn't needed
anymore. It generally just adds noise to the dump, and it can be
actively harmful because it leaks kernel addresses.
Linus says:
"The stack dump actually goes back to forever, and it used to be
useful back in 1992 or so. But it used to be useful mainly because
stacks were simpler and we didn't have very good call traces anyway. I
definitely remember having used them - I just do not remember having
used them in the last ten+ years.
Of course, it's still true that if you can trigger an oops, you've
likely already lost the security game, but since the stack dump is so
useless, let's aim to just remove it and make games like the above
harder."
This also removes the related 'kstack=' cmdline option and the
'kstack_depth_to_print' sysctl.

Pull namespace updates from Eric Biederman:
"This set of changes is a number of smaller things that have been
overlooked in other development cycles focused on more fundamental
change. The devpts changes are small things that were a distraction
until we managed to kill off DEVPTS_MULTPLE_INSTANCES. There is an
trivial regression fix to autofs for the unprivileged mount changes
that went in last cycle. A pair of ioctls has been added by Andrey
Vagin making it is possible to discover the relationships between
namespaces when referring to them through file descriptors.
The big user visible change is starting to add simple resource limits
to catch programs that misbehave. With namespaces in general and user
namespaces in particular allowing users to use more kinds of
resources, it has become important to have something to limit errant
programs. Because the purpose of these limits is to catch errant
programs the code needs to be inexpensive to use as it always on, and
the default limits need to be high enough that well behaved programs
on well behaved systems don't encounter them.
To this end, after some review I have implemented per user per user
namespace limits, and use them to limit the number of namespaces. The
limits being per user mean that one user can not exhause the limits of
another user. The limits being per user namespace allow contexts where
the limit is 0 and security conscious folks can remove from their
threat anlysis the code used to manage namespaces (as they have
historically done as it root only). At the same time the limits being
per user namespace allow other parts of the system to use namespaces.
Namespaces are increasingly being used in application sand boxing
scenarios so an all or nothing disable for the entire system for the
security conscious folks makes increasing use of these sandboxes
impossible.
There is also added a limit on the maximum number of mounts present in
a single mount namespace. It is nontrivial to guess what a reasonable
system wide limit on the number of mount structure in the kernel would
be, especially as it various based on how a system is using
containers. A limit on the number of mounts in a mount namespace
however is much easier to understand and set. In most cases in
practice only about 1000 mounts are used. Given that some autofs
scenarious have the potential to be 30,000 to 50,000 mounts I have set
the default limit for the number of mounts at 100,000 which is well
above every known set of users but low enough that the mount hash
tables don't degrade unreaonsably.
These limits are a start. I expect this estabilishes a pattern that
other limits for resources that namespaces use will follow. There has
been interest in making inotify event limits per user per user
namespace as well as interest expressed in making details about what
is going on in the kernel more visible"

CAI Qian <caiqian@redhat.com> pointed out that the semantics
of shared subtrees make it possible to create an exponentially
increasing number of mounts in a mount namespace.
mkdir /tmp/1 /tmp/2
mount --make-rshared /
for i in $(seq 1 20) ; do mount --bind /tmp/1 /tmp/2 ; done
Will create create 2^20 or 1048576 mounts, which is a practical problem
as some people have managed to hit this by accident.
As such CVE-2016-6213 was assigned.
Ian Kent <raven@themaw.net> described the situation for autofs users
as follows:
> The number of mounts for direct mount maps is usually not very large because of
> the way they are implemented, large direct mount maps can have performance
> problems. There can be anywhere from a few (likely case a few hundred) to less

So I am setting the default number of mounts allowed per mount
namespace at 100,000. This is more than enough for any use case I
know of, but small enough to quickly stop an exponential increase
in mounts. Which should be perfect to catch misconfigurations and
malfunctioning programs.
For anyone who needs a higher limit this can be changed by writing
to the new /proc/sys/fs/mount-max sysctl.

We have scripts which write to certain fields on 3.18 kernels but this
seems to be failing on 4.4 kernels. An entry which we write to here is
xfrm_aevent_rseqth which is u32.
echo 4294967295 > /proc/sys/net/core/xfrm_aevent_rseqth
Commit 230633d109 ("kernel/sysctl.c: detect overflows when converting
to int") prevented writing to sysctl entries when integer overflow
occurs. However, this does not apply to unsigned integers.
Heinrich suggested that we introduce a new option to handle 64 bit
limits and set min as 0 and max as UINT_MAX. This might not work as it
leads to issues similar to __do_proc_doulongvec_minmax. Alternatively,
we would need to change the datatype of the entry to 64 bit.
static int __do_proc_doulongvec_minmax(void *data, struct ctl_table
{
i = (unsigned long *) data; //This cast is causing to read beyond the size of data (u32)
vleft = table->maxlen / sizeof(unsigned long); //vleft is 0 because maxlen is sizeof(u32) which is lesser than sizeof(unsigned long) on x86_64.
Introduce a new proc handler proc_douintvec. Individual proc entries
will need to be updated to use the new handler.

Add a "printk.devkmsg" kernel command line parameter which controls how
userspace writes into /dev/kmsg. It has three options:
* ratelimit - ratelimit logging from userspace.
* on - unlimited logging from userspace
* off - logging from userspace gets ignored
The default setting is to ratelimit the messages written to it.
This changes the kernel default setting of "on" to "ratelimit" and we do
that because we want to keep userspace spamming /dev/kmsg to sane
levels. This is especially moot when a small kernel log buffer wraps
around and messages get lost. So the ratelimiting setting should be a
sane setting where kernel messages should have a bit higher chance of
survival from all the spamming.
It additionally does not limit logging to /dev/kmsg while the system is
booting if we haven't disabled it on the command line.
Furthermore, we can control the logging from a lower priority sysctl
interface - kernel.printk_devkmsg.
That interface will succeed only if printk.devkmsg *hasn't* been
supplied on the command line. If it has, then printk.devkmsg is a
one-time setting which remains for the duration of the system lifetime.
This "locking" of the setting is to prevent userspace from changing the
logging on us through sysctl(2).
This patch is based on previous patches from Linus and Steven.

As reclaim is now per-node based, convert zone_reclaim to be
node_reclaim. It is possible that a node will be reclaimed multiple
times if it has multiple zones but this is unavoidable without caching
all nodes traversed so far. The documentation and interface to
userspace is the same from a configuration perspective and will will be
similar in behaviour unless the node-local allocation requests were also
limited to lower zones.

It is not always easy to determine the cause of an RCU stall just by
analysing the RCU stall messages, mainly when the problem is caused
by the indirect starvation of rcu threads. For example, when preempt_rcu
is not awakened due to the starvation of a timer softirq.
We have been hard coding panic() in the RCU stall functions for
some time while testing the kernel-rt. But this is not possible in
some scenarios, like when supporting customers.
This patch implements the sysctl kernel.panic_on_rcu_stall. If
set to 1, the system will panic() when an RCU stall takes place,
enabling the capture of a vmcore. The vmcore provides a way to analyze
all kernel/tasks states, helping out to point to the culprit and the
solution for the stall.
The kernel.panic_on_rcu_stall sysctl is disabled by default.
Changes from v1:
- Fixed a typo in the git log
- The if(sysctl_panic_on_rcu_stall) panic() is in a static function
- Fixed the CONFIG_TINY_RCU compilation issue
- The var sysctl_panic_on_rcu_stall is now __read_mostly

Provide /proc/sys/vm/stat_refresh to force an immediate update of
per-cpu into global vmstats: useful to avoid a sleep(2) or whatever
before checking counts when testing. Originally added to work around a
bug which left counts stranded indefinitely on a cpu going idle (an
inaccuracy magnified when small below-batch numbers represent "huge"
amounts of memory), but I believe that bug is now fixed: nonetheless,
this is still a useful knob.
Its schedule_on_each_cpu() is probably too expensive just to fold into
reading /proc/meminfo itself: give this mode 0600 to prevent abuse.
Allow a write or a read to do the same: nothing to read, but "grep -h
Shmem /proc/sys/vm/stat_refresh /proc/meminfo" is convenient. Oh, and
since global_page_state() itself is careful to disguise any underflow as
0, hack in an "Invalid argument" and pr_warn() if a counter is negative
after the refresh - this helped to fix a misaccounting of
NR_ISOLATED_FILE in my migration code.
But on recent kernels, I find that NR_ALLOC_BATCH and NR_PAGES_SCANNED
often go negative some of the time. I have not yet worked out why, but
have no evidence that it's actually harmful. Punt for the moment by
just ignoring the anomaly on those.

The perf_sample->ip_callchain->nr value includes all the entries in the
ip_callchain->ip[] array, real addresses and PERF_CONTEXT_{KERNEL,USER,etc},
while what the user expects is that what is in the kernel.perf_event_max_stack
sysctl or in the upcoming per event perf_event_attr.sample_max_stack knob be
honoured in terms of IP addresses in the stack trace.
So allocate a bunch of extra entries for contexts, and do the accounting
via perf_callchain_entry_ctx struct members.
A new sysctl, kernel.perf_event_max_contexts_per_stack is also
introduced for investigating possible bugs in the callchain
implementation by some arch.

So that it can be used for other stack related knobs, such as the
upcoming one to tweak the max number of of contexts per stack sample.
In all those cases we can only change the value if there are no perf
