The current implementation does a naive search of "bootconfig" on the kernel
command line. But this could find "bootconfig" that is part of another
option in quotes (although highly unlikely). But it also needs to find '--'
on the kernel command line to know if it should append a '--' or not when a
bootconfig in the initrd file has an "init" section. The check uses the
naive strstr() to find to see if it exists. But this can return a false
positive if it exists in an option and then the "init" section in the initrd
will not be appended properly.
Using parse_args() to find both of these will solve both of these problems.

As the bootconfig is appended to the initrd it is not as easy to modify as
the kernel command line. If there's some issue with the kernel, and the
developer wants to boot a pristine kernel, it should not be needed to modify
the initrd to remove the bootconfig for a single boot.
As bootconfig is silently added (if the admin does not know where to look
they may not know it's being loaded). It should be explicitly added to the
kernel cmdline. The loading of the bootconfig is only done if "bootconfig"
is on the kernel command line. This will let admins know that the kernel
command line is extended.
Note, after adding printk()s for when the size is too great or the checksum
is wrong, exposed that the current method always looked for the boot config,
and if this size and checksum matched, it would parse it (as if either is
wrong a printk has been added to show this). It's better to only check this
if the boot config is asked to be looked for.

Patch series "init/main.c: minor cleanup/bugfix of envvar handling", v2.
unknown_bootoption passes unrecognized command line arguments to init as
either environment variables or arguments. Some of the logic in the
function is broken for quoted command line arguments.
When an argument of the form param="value" is processed by parse_args
and passed to unknown_bootoption, the command line has
param\0"value\0
with val pointing to the beginning of value. The helper function
repair_env_string is then used to restore the '=' character that was
removed by parse_args, and strip the quotes off fully. This results in
param=value\0\0
and val ends up pointing to the 'a' instead of the 'v' in value. This
bug was introduced when repair_env_string was refactored into a separate
function, and the decrement of val in repair_env_string became dead
code.
This causes two problems in unknown_bootoption in the two places where
the val pointer is used as a substitute for the length of param:
1. An argument of the form param=".value" is misinterpreted as a
potential module parameter, with the result that it will not be
placed in init's environment.
2. An argument of the form param="value" is checked to see if param is
an existing environment variable that should be overwritten, but the
comparison is off-by-one and compares 'param=v' instead of 'param='
against the existing environment. So passing, for example,
TERM="vt100" on the command line results in init being passed both
TERM=linux and TERM=vt100 in its environment.
Patch 1 adds logging for the arguments and environment passed to init
and is independent of the rest: it can be dropped if this is
unnecessarily verbose.
Patch 2 removes repair_env_string from initcall parameter parsing in
do_initcall_level, as that uses a separate copy of the command line now
and the repairing is no longer necessary.
Patch 3 fixes the bug in unknown_bootoption by recording the length of
param explicitly instead of implying it from val-param.
This patch (of 3):
Commit a99cd11251 ("init: fix bug where environment vars can't be
passed via boot args") introduced two minor bugs in unknown_bootoption
by factoring out the quoted value handling into a separate function.
When value is quoted, repair_env_string will move the value up 1 byte to
strip the quotes, so val in unknown_bootoption no longer points to the
actual location of the value.
The result is that an argument of the form param=".value" is mistakenly
treated as a potential module parameter and is not placed in init's
environment, and an argument of the form param="value" can result in a
duplicate environment variable: eg TERM="vt100" on the command line will
result in both TERM=linux and TERM=vt100 being placed into init's
environment.
Fix this by recording the length of the param before calling
repair_env_string instead of relying on val.

Since commit 08746a65c2 ("init: fix in-place parameter modification
regression"), parse_args in do_initcall_level is called on a copy of
saved_command_line. It is unnecessary to call repair_env_string during
this parsing, as this copy is not used for anything later.
Remove the now unnecessary arguments from repair_env_string as well.

disruption. Due to different boot time and non-suspended runtime these
clocks can differ significantly on two hosts, in the worst case time
goes backwards which is a violation of the POSIX requirements.
The time namespace addresses this problem. It allows to set offsets for
clock MONOTONIC and BOOTTIME once after creation and before tasks are
associated with the namespace. These offsets are taken into account by
timers and timekeeping including the VDSO.
Offsets for wall clock based clocks (REALTIME/TAI) are not provided by
this mechanism. While in theory possible, the overhead and code
complexity would be immense and not justified by the esoteric potential
use cases which were discussed at Plumbers '18.
The overhead for tasks in the root namespace (host time offsets = 0) is
in the noise and great effort was made to ensure that especially in the
VDSO. If time namespace is disabled in the kernel configuration the
code is compiled out.
Kudos to Andrei Vagin and Dmitry Sofanov who implemented this feature

This reverts commit 786b2384bf ("um: Enable CONFIG_CONSTRUCTORS").
There are two issues with this commit, uncovered by Anton in tests
on some (Debian) systems:
1) I completely forgot to call any constructors if CONFIG_CONSTRUCTORS
isn't set. Don't recall now if it just wasn't needed on my system, or
if I never tested this case.
2) With that fixed, it works - with CONFIG_CONSTRUCTORS *unset*. If I
set CONFIG_CONSTRUCTORS, it fails again, which isn't totally
unexpected since whatever wanted to run is likely to have to run
before the kernel init etc. that calls the constructors in this case.
Basically, some constructors that gcc emits (libc has?) need to run
very early during init; the failure mode otherwise was that the ptrace
fork test already failed:
----------------------
$ ./linux mem=512M
Core dump limits :
soft - 0
hard - NONE
Checking that ptrace can change system call numbers...check_ptrace : child exited with exitcode 6, while expecting 0; status 0x67f
Aborted
----------------------
Thinking more about this, it's clear that we simply cannot support
CONFIG_CONSTRUCTORS in UML. All the cases we need now (gcov, kasan)
involve not use of the __attribute__((constructor)), but instead
some constructor code/entry generated by gcc. Therefore, we cannot
distinguish between kernel constructors and system constructors.
Thus, revert this commit.

To support time namespaces in the vdso with a minimal impact on regular non
time namespace affected tasks, the namespace handling needs to be hidden in
a slow path.
The most obvious place is vdso_seq_begin(). If a task belongs to a time
namespace then the VVAR page which contains the system wide vdso data is
replaced with a namespace specific page which has the same layout as the
VVAR page. That page has vdso_data->seq set to 1 to enforce the slow path
and vdso_data->clock_mode set to VCLOCK_TIMENS to enforce the time
namespace handling path.
The extra check in the case that vdso_data->seq is odd, e.g. a concurrent
update of the vdso data is in progress, is not really affecting regular
tasks which are not part of a time namespace as the task is spin waiting
for the update to finish and vdso_data->seq to become even again.
If a time namespace task hits that code path, it invokes the corresponding
time getter function which retrieves the real VVAR page, reads host time
and then adds the offset for the requested clock which is stored in the
special VVAR page.
If VDSO time namespace support is disabled the whole magic is compiled out.
Initial testing shows that the disabled case is almost identical to the
host case which does not take the slow timens path. With the special timens
page installed the performance hit is constant time and in the range of
5-7%.
For the vdso functions which are not using the sequence count an
unconditional check for vdso_data->clock_mode is added which switches to
the real vdso when the clock_mode is VCLOCK_TIMENS.

Time Namespace isolates clock values.
The kernel provides access to several clocks CLOCK_REALTIME,
CLOCK_MONOTONIC, CLOCK_BOOTTIME, etc.
CLOCK_REALTIME
System-wide clock that measures real (i.e., wall-clock) time.
CLOCK_MONOTONIC
Clock that cannot be set and represents monotonic time since
some unspecified starting point.
CLOCK_BOOTTIME
Identical to CLOCK_MONOTONIC, except it also includes any time
that the system is suspended.
For many users, the time namespace means the ability to changes date and
time in a container (CLOCK_REALTIME). Providing per namespace notions of
CLOCK_REALTIME would be complex with a massive overhead, but has a dubious
value.
But in the context of checkpoint/restore functionality, monotonic and
boottime clocks become interesting. Both clocks are monotonic with
unspecified starting points. These clocks are widely used to measure time
slices and set timers. After restoring or migrating processes, it has to be
guaranteed that they never go backward. In an ideal case, the behavior of
these clocks should be the same as for a case when a whole system is
suspended. All this means that it is required to set CLOCK_MONOTONIC and
CLOCK_BOOTTIME clocks, which can be achieved by adding per-namespace
offsets for clocks.
A time namespace is similar to a pid namespace in the way how it is
created: unshare(CLONE_NEWTIME) system call creates a new time namespace,
but doesn't set it to the current process. Then all children of the process
will be born in the new time namespace, or a process can use the setns()
system call to join a namespace.
This scheme allows setting clock offsets for a namespace, before any
processes appear in it.
All available clone flags have been used, so CLONE_NEWTIME uses the highest
bit of CSIGNAL. It means that it can be used only with the unshare() and
the clone3() system calls.
[ tglx: Adjusted paragraph about clone3() to reality and massaged the
changelog a bit. ]

Commit 96a2b03f28 ("mm, debug_pagelloc: use static keys to enable
debugging") has introduced a static key to reduce overhead when
debug_pagealloc is compiled in but not enabled. It relied on the
assumption that jump_label_init() is called before parse_early_param()
as in start_kernel(), so when the "debug_pagealloc=on" option is parsed,
it is safe to enable the static key.
However, it turns out multiple architectures call parse_early_param()
earlier from their setup_arch(). x86 also calls jump_label_init() even
earlier, so no issue was found while testing the commit, but same is not
true for e.g. ppc64 and s390 where the kernel would not boot with
debug_pagealloc=on as found by our QA.
To fix this without tricky changes to init code of multiple
architectures, this patch partially reverts the static key conversion
from 96a2b03f28. Init-time and non-fastpath calls (such as in arch
code) of debug_pagealloc_enabled() will again test a simple bool
variable. Fastpath mm code is converted to a new
debug_pagealloc_enabled_static() variant that relies on the static key,
which is enabled in a well-defined point in mm_init() where it's
guaranteed that jump_label_init() has been called, regardless of
architecture.

Extra Boot Config (XBC) allows admin to pass a tree-structured
boot configuration file when boot up the kernel. This extends
the kernel command line in an efficient way.
Boot config will contain some key-value commands, e.g.
key.word = value1
another.key.word = value2
It can fold same keys with braces, also you can write array
data. For example,
key {
word1 {
setting1 = data
setting2
}
word2.array = "val1", "val2"
}
User can access these key-value pair and tree structure via
SKC APIs.

This reverts commit 8243186f0c ("fs: remove ksys_dup()") and the
subsequent fix for it in commit 2d3145f8d2 ("early init: fix error
handling when opening /dev/console").
Trying to use filp_open() and f_dupfd() instead of pseudo-syscalls
caused more trouble than what is worth it: it requires accessing vfs
internals and it turns out there were other bugs in it too.
In particular, the file reference counting was wrong - because unlike
the original "open+2*dup" sequence it used "filp_open+3*f_dupfd" and
thus had an extra leaked file reference.
That in turn then caused odd problems with Androidx86 long after boot
becaue of how the extra reference to the console kept the session active
even after all file descriptors had been closed.

====================
pull-request: bpf-next 2019-12-27
The following pull-request contains BPF updates for your *net-next* tree.
We've added 127 non-merge commits during the last 17 day(s) which contain
a total of 110 files changed, 6901 insertions(+), 2721 deletions(-).
There are three merge conflicts. Conflicts and resolution looks as follows:
1) Merge conflict in net/bpf/test_run.c:
There was a tree-wide cleanup c593642c8b ("treewide: Use sizeof_field() macro")
which gets in the way with b590cb5f80 ("bpf: Switch to offsetofend in
BPF_PROG_TEST_RUN"):
<<<<<<< HEAD
if (!range_is_zero(__skb, offsetof(struct __sk_buff, priority) +
sizeof_field(struct __sk_buff, priority),
=======
if (!range_is_zero(__skb, offsetofend(struct __sk_buff, priority),
>>>>>>> 7c8dce4b16
There are a few occasions that look similar to this. Always take the chunk with
offsetofend(). Note that there is one where the fields differ in here:
<<<<<<< HEAD
if (!range_is_zero(__skb, offsetof(struct __sk_buff, tstamp) +
sizeof_field(struct __sk_buff, tstamp),
=======
if (!range_is_zero(__skb, offsetofend(struct __sk_buff, gso_segs),
>>>>>>> 7c8dce4b16
Just take the one with offsetofend() /and/ gso_segs. Latter is correct due to
850a88cc40 ("bpf: Expose __sk_buff wire_len/gso_segs to BPF_PROG_TEST_RUN").
2) Merge conflict in arch/riscv/net/bpf_jit_comp.c:
(I'm keeping Bjorn in Cc here for a double-check in case I got it wrong.)
<<<<<<< HEAD
if (is_13b_check(off, insn))
return -1;
emit(rv_blt(tcc, RV_REG_ZERO, off >> 1), ctx);
=======
emit_branch(BPF_JSLT, RV_REG_T1, RV_REG_ZERO, off, ctx);
>>>>>>> 7c8dce4b16
Result should look like:
emit_branch(BPF_JSLT, tcc, RV_REG_ZERO, off, ctx);
3) Merge conflict in arch/riscv/include/asm/pgtable.h:
<<<<<<< HEAD
=======

#define VMALLOC_START (PAGE_OFFSET - VMALLOC_SIZE)

Only take the BPF_* defines from there and move them higher up in the
same file. Remove the rest from the chunk. The VMALLOC_* etc defines
got moved via 01f52e16b8 ("riscv: define vmemmap before pfn_to_page

resolution for .kconfig section to import Kconfig data, from Andrii Nakryiko.
2) Add BPF dispatcher for XDP which is a mechanism to avoid indirect calls by
generating a branch funnel as discussed back in bpfconf'19 at LSF/MM. Also,
add various BPF riscv JIT improvements, from Björn Töpel.
3) Extend bpftool to allow matching BPF programs and maps by name,
from Paul Chaignon.
4) Support for replacing cgroup BPF programs attached with BPF_F_ALLOW_MULTI
flag for allowing updates without service interruption, from Andrey Ignatov.
5) Cleanup and simplification of ring access functions for AF_XDP with a
bonus of 0-5% performance improvement, from Magnus Karlsson.
6) Enable BPF JITs for x86-64 and arm64 by default. Also, final version of
audit support for BPF, from Daniel Borkmann and latter with Jiri Olsa.
7) Move and extend test_select_reuseport into BPF program tests under
BPF selftests, from Jakub Sitnicki.
8) Various BPF sample improvements for xdpsock for customizing parameters
to set up and benchmark AF_XDP, from Jay Jayatheerthan.
9) Improve libbpf to provide a ulimit hint on permission denied errors.
Also change XDP sample programs to attach in driver mode by default,

11) Optimize prologue code sequence in BPF arm32 JIT, from Russell King.
12) Fix xdp_redirect_cpu BPF sample to manually attach to tracepoints after

13) Minor misc improvements from various others.

In prepare_namespace(), do_mount() can be used instead of ksys_mount()
as the first and third argument are const strings in the kernel, the
second and fourth argument are passed through anyway, and the fifth
argument is NULL.
In do_mount_root(), ksys_mount() is called with the first and third
argument being already kernelspace strings, which do not need to be
copied over from userspace to kernelspace (again). The second and
fourth arguments are passed through to do_mount() anyway. The fifth
argument, while already residing in kernelspace, needs to be put into
a page of its own. Then, do_mount() can be used instead of
ksys_mount().
Once this is done, there are no in-kernel users to ksys_mount() left,
which can therefore be removed.

After Spectre 2 fix via 290af86629 ("bpf: introduce BPF_JIT_ALWAYS_ON
config") most major distros use BPF_JIT_ALWAYS_ON configuration these days
which compiles out the BPF interpreter entirely and always enables the
JIT. Also given recent fix in e1608f3fa8 ("bpf: Avoid setting bpf insns
pages read-only when prog is jited"), we additionally avoid fragmenting
the direct map for the BPF insns pages sitting in the general data heap
since they are not used during execution. Latter is only needed when run
through the interpreter.
Since both x86 and arm64 JITs have seen a lot of exposure over the years,
are generally most up to date and maintained, there is more downside in
!BPF_JIT_ALWAYS_ON configurations to have the interpreter enabled by default
rather than the JIT. Add a ARCH_WANT_DEFAULT_BPF_JIT config which archs can
use to set the bpf_jit_{enable,kallsyms} to 1. Back in the days the
bpf_jit_kallsyms knob was set to 0 by default since major distros still

not the case anymore. Hence both knobs are set via BPF_JIT_DEFAULT_ON which
is set to 'y' in case of BPF_JIT_ALWAYS_ON or ARCH_WANT_DEFAULT_BPF_JIT.

Pull sysctl system call removal from Eric Biederman:
"As far as I can tell we have reached the point where no one enables
the sysctl system call anymore. It still is enabled in a few
defconfigs but they are mostly the rarely used one and in asking
people about that it was more cut & paste enabled than anything else.
This is single commit that just deletes code. Leaving just enough code
so that the deprecated sysctl warning continues to be printed. If my
analysis turns out to be wrong and someone actually cares it will be
easy to revert this commit and have the system call again.
There was one new xtensa defconfig in linux-next that enabled the
system call this cycle and when asked about it the maintainer of the
code replied that it was not enabled on purpose. As of today's
linux-next tree that defconfig no longer enables the system call.
What we saw in the review discussion was that if we go a step farther
than my patch and mess with uapi headers there are pieces of code that
won't compile, but nothing minds the system call actually disappearing
from the kernel"

* 'for-linus' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/ebiederm/user-namespace:
sysctl: Remove the sysctl system call
This system call has been deprecated almost since it was introduced, and
in a survey of the linux distributions I can no longer find any of them
that enable CONFIG_SYSCTL_SYSCALL. The only indication that I can find
that anyone might care is that a few of the defconfigs in the kernel
enable CONFIG_SYSCTL_SYSCALL. However this appears in only 31 of 414
defconfigs in the kernel, so I suspect this symbols presence is simply
because it is harmless to include rather than because it is necessary.
As there appear to be no users of the sysctl system call, remove the
code. As this removes one of the few uses of the internal kernel mount
of proc I hope this allows for even more simplifications of the proc
filesystem.

In order to use 128-bit integer arithmetic in C code, the architecture
needs to have declared support for it by setting ARCH_SUPPORTS_INT128,
and it requires a version of the toolchain that supports this at build
time. This is why all existing tests for ARCH_SUPPORTS_INT128 also test
whether __SIZEOF_INT128__ is defined, since this is only the case for
compilers that can support 128-bit integers.
Let's fold this additional test into the Kconfig declaration of
ARCH_SUPPORTS_INT128 so that we can also use the symbol in Makefiles,
e.g., to decide whether a certain object needs to be included in the
first place.

There are both positive and negative options about this feature.
At first, I thought it was a good idea, but actually Linus stated a
negative opinion (https://lkml.org/lkml/2019/9/29/227). I admit it
is ugly and annoying.
The baseline I'd like to keep is the compile-test of uapi headers.
(Otherwise, kernel developers have no way to ensure the correctness
of the exported headers.)
I will maintain a small build rule in usr/include/Makefile.
Remove the other header test functionality.

Drop various work-arounds we have for workqueues:
- We no longer need the async_list for tracking sequential IO.
- We don't have to maintain our own mm tracking/setting.
- We don't need a separate workqueue for buffered writes. This didn't
even work that well to begin with, as it was suboptimal for multiple
buffered writers on multiple files.
- We can properly cancel pending interruptible work. This fixes
deadlocks with particularly socket IO, where we cannot cancel them
when the io_uring is closed. Hence the ring will wait forever for
these requests to complete, which may never happen. This is different
from disk IO where we know requests will complete in a finite amount
of time.
- Due to being able to cancel work interruptible work that is already
running, we can implement file table support for work. We need that
for supporting system calls that add to a process file table.
- It gets us one step closer to adding async support for any system
call.
