Renzo Davoli dd5d81f326 fs/char_dev.c: remove useless loop
There are two useless lines in fs/char_dev.c.

In register_chrdev there is a loop to change all '/' into '!' in the
kernel object name.
This code is useless as the same substitution is in kobject_set_name_vargs in
lib/kobject.c:
228         /* ewww... some of these buggers have '/' in the name ... */
229         while ((s = strchr(kobj->name, '/')))
230                 s[0] = '!';

kobject_set_name_vargs is called by kobject_set_name.
kobject_set_name is called just above the useless loop.

David Howells 8e8b63a68c fdpic: ignore the loader's PT_GNU_STACK when calculating the stack size
Ignore the loader's PT_GNU_STACK when calculating the stack size, and only
consider the executable's PT_GNU_STACK, assuming the executable has one.

Currently the behaviour is to take the largest stack size and use that,
but that means you can't reduce the stack size in the executable.  The
loader's stack size should probably only be used when executing the loader
directly.

WARNING: This patch is slightly dangerous - it may render a system
inoperable if the loader's stack size is larger than that of important
executables, and the system relies unknowingly on this increasing the size
of the stack.

Peter Zijlstra ba0a6c9f6f fcntl: add F_[SG]ETOWN_EX
In order to direct the SIGIO signal to a particular thread of a
multi-threaded application we cannot, like suggested by the manpage, put a
TID into the regular fcntl(F_SETOWN) call.  It will still be send to the
whole process of which that thread is part.

Since people do want to properly direct SIGIO we introduce F_SETOWN_EX.

The need to direct SIGIO comes from self-monitoring profiling such as with
perf-counters.  Perf-counters uses SIGIO to notify that new sample data is
available.  If the signal is delivered to the same task that generated the
new sample it can augment that data by inspecting the task's user-space
state right after it returns from the kernel.  This is esp.  convenient
for interpreted or virtual machine driven environments.

Both F_SETOWN_EX and F_GETOWN_EX take a pointer to a struct f_owner_ex
as argument:

struct f_owner_ex {
	int   type;
	pid_t pid;
};

Where type is one of F_OWNER_TID, F_OWNER_PID or F_OWNER_GID.

Oleg Nesterov 06f1631a16 signals: send_sigio: use do_send_sig_info() to avoid check_kill_permission()
group_send_sig_info()->check_kill_permission() assumes that current is the
sender and uses current_cred().

This is not true in send_sigio_to_task() case.  From the security pov the
sender is not current, but the task which did fcntl(F_SETOWN), that is why
we have sigio_perm() which uses the right creds to check.

Fortunately, send_sigio() always sends either SEND_SIG_PRIV or
SI_FROMKERNEL() signal, so check_kill_permission() does nothing.  But
still it would be tidier to avoid this bogus security check and save a
couple of cycles.

Oleg Nesterov 964ee7df90 exec: fix set_binfmt() vs sys_delete_module() race
sys_delete_module() can set MODULE_STATE_GOING after
search_binary_handler() does try_module_get().  In this case
set_binfmt()->try_module_get() fails but since none of the callers
check the returned error, the task will run with the wrong old
->binfmt.

The proper fix should change all ->load_binary() methods, but we can
rely on fact that the caller must hold a reference to binfmt->module
and use __module_get() which never fails.

Neil Horman 61be228a06 exec: allow do_coredump() to wait for user space pipe readers to complete
Allow core_pattern pipes to wait for user space to complete

One of the things that user space processes like to do is look at metadata
for a crashing process in their /proc/<pid> directory.  this is racy
however, since do_coredump in the kernel doesn't wait for the user space
process to complete before it reaps the crashing process.  This patch
corrects that.  Allowing the kernel to wait for the user space process to
complete before cleaning up the crashing process.  This is a bit tricky to
do for a few reasons:

1) The user space process isn't our child, so we can't sys_wait4 on it
2) We need to close the pipe before waiting for the user process to complete,
since the user process may rely on an EOF condition

I've discussed several solutions with Oleg Nesterov off-list about this,
and this is the one we've come up with.  We add ourselves as a pipe reader
(to prevent premature cleanup of the pipe_inode_info), and remove
ourselves as a writer (to provide an EOF condition to the writer in user
space), then we iterate until the user space process exits (which we
detect by pipe->readers == 1, hence the > 1 check in the loop).  When we
exit the loop, we restore the proper reader/writer values, then we return
and let filp_close in do_coredump clean up the pipe data properly.

Neil Horman a293980c2e exec: let do_coredump() limit the number of concurrent dumps to pipes
Introduce core pipe limiting sysctl.

Since we can dump cores to pipe, rather than directly to the filesystem,
we create a condition in which a user can create a very high load on the
system simply by running bad applications.

If the pipe reader specified in core_pattern is poorly written, we can
have lots of ourstandig resources and processes in the system.

This sysctl introduces an ability to limit that resource consumption.
core_pipe_limit defines how many in-flight dumps may be run in parallel,
dumps beyond this value are skipped and a note is made in the kernel log.
A special value of 0 in core_pipe_limit denotes unlimited core dumps may
be handled (this is the default value).

Neil Horman 725eae32df exec: make do_coredump() more resilient to recursive crashes
Change how we detect recursive dumps.

Currently we have a mechanism by which we try to compare pathnames of the
crashing process to the core_pattern path.  This is broken for a dozen
reasons, and just doesn't work in any sort of robust way.

I'm replacing it with the use of a 0 RLIMIT_CORE value.  Since helper apps
set RLIMIT_CORE to zero, we don't write out core files for any process
with that particular limit set.  It the core_pattern is a pipe, any
non-zero limit is translated to RLIM_INFINITY.

This allows complete dumps to be captured, but prevents infinite recursion
in the event that the core_pattern process itself crashes.

For every hardlink in btrfs, there is a corresponding inode back
reference. All inode back references for hardlinks in a given
directory are stored in single b-tree item. The size of b-tree item
is limited by the size of b-tree leaf, so we can only create limited
number of hardlinks to a given file in a directory.

The original code lacks of the check, it oops if the number of
hardlinks goes over the limit. This patch fixes the issue by adding
check to btrfs_link and btrfs_rename.

Vegard Nossum eca6f534e6 fs: fix overflow in sys_mount() for in-kernel calls
sys_mount() reads/copies a whole page for its "type" parameter.  When
do_mount_root() passes a kernel address that points to an object which is
smaller than a whole page, copy_mount_options() will happily go past this
memory object, possibly dereferencing "wild" pointers that could be in any
state (hence the kmemcheck warning, which shows that parts of the next
page are not even allocated).

(The likelihood of something going wrong here is pretty low -- first of
all this only applies to kernel calls to sys_mount(), which are mostly
found in the boot code.  Secondly, I guess if the page was not mapped,
exact_copy_from_user() _would_ in fact handle it correctly because of its
access_ok(), etc.  checks.)

But it is much nicer to avoid the dubious reads altogether, by stopping as
soon as we find a NUL byte.  Is there a good reason why we can't do
something like this, using the already existing strndup_from_user()?

Christoph Hellwig 4504230a71 freeze_bdev: grab active reference to frozen superblocks
Currently we held s_umount while a filesystem is frozen, despite that we
might return to userspace and unlock it from a different process.  Instead
grab an active reference to keep the file system busy and add an explicit
check for frozen filesystems in remount and reject the remount instead
of blocking on s_umount.

Add a new get_active_super helper to super.c for use by freeze_bdev that
grabs an active reference to a superblock from a given block device.

Christoph Hellwig 4fadd7bb20 freeze_bdev: kill bd_mount_sem
Now that we have the freeze count there is not much reason for bd_mount_sem
anymore.  The actual freeze/thaw operations are serialized using the
bd_fsfreeze_mutex, and the only other place we take bd_mount_sem is
get_sb_bdev which tries to prevent mounting a filesystem while the block
device is frozen.  Instead of add a check for bd_fsfreeze_count and
return -EBUSY if a filesystem is frozen.  While that is a change in user
visible behaviour a failing mount is much better for this case rather
than having the mount process stuck uninterruptible for a long time.

Boaz Harrosh 1ba50bbe93 exofs: remove BKL from super operations
the two places inside exofs that where taking the BKL were:
exofs_put_super() - .put_super
and
exofs_sync_fs() - which is .sync_fs and is also called from
                  .write_super.

Now exofs_sync_fs() is protected from itself by also taking
the sb_lock.

exofs_put_super() directly calls exofs_sync_fs() so there is no
danger between these two either.

In anyway there is absolutely nothing dangerous been done
inside exofs_sync_fs().

Unless there is some subtle race with the actual lifetime of
the super_block in regard to .put_super and some other parts
of the VFS. Which is highly unlikely.

Jeff Layton 42cb56ae2a vfs: change sb->s_maxbytes to a loff_t
sb->s_maxbytes is supposed to indicate the maximum size of a file that can
exist on the filesystem.  It's declared as an unsigned long long.

Even if a filesystem has no inherent limit that prevents it from using
every bit in that unsigned long long, it's still problematic to set it to
anything larger than MAX_LFS_FILESIZE.  There are places in the kernel
that cast s_maxbytes to a signed value.  If it's set too large then this
cast makes it a negative number and generally breaks the comparison.

Change s_maxbytes to be loff_t instead.  That should help eliminate the
temptation to set it too large by making it a signed value.

Also, add a warning for couple of releases to help catch filesystems that
set s_maxbytes too large.  Eventually we can either convert this to a
BUG() or just remove it and in the hope that no one will get it wrong now
that it's a signed value.

Do a similar optimization as earlier for touch_atime.  Getting the lock in
mnt_get_write is relatively costly, so try all avenues to avoid it first.

This patch is careful to still only update inode fields inside the lock

Andi Kleen b12536c270 vfs: optimization for touch_atime()
Some benchmark testing shows touch_atime to be high up in profile logs for
IO intensive workloads.  Most likely that's due to the lock in
mnt_want_write().  Unfortunately touch_atime first takes the lock, and
then does all the other tests that could avoid atime updates (like noatime
or relatime).

Do it the other way round -- first try to avoid the update and only then
if that didn't succeed take the lock.  That works because none of the
atime avoidance tests rely on locking.

This also eliminates a goto.

Chris Mason 11ef160fda Btrfs: fix releasepage to avoid unlocking extents we haven't locked
During releasepage, we try to drop any extent_state structs for the
bye offsets of the page we're releaseing.  But the code was incorrectly
telling clear_extent_bit to delete the state struct unconditionallly.

Normally this would be fine because we have the page locked, but other
parts of btrfs will lock down an entire extent, the most common place
being IO completion.

releasepage was deleting the extent state without first locking the extent,
which may result in removing a state struct that another process had
locked down.  The fix here is to leave the NODATASUM and EXTENT_LOCKED
bits alone in releasepage.

Chris Mason 42daec299b Btrfs: fix errors handling cached state in set/clear_extent_bit
Both set and clear_extent_bit allow passing a cached
state struct to reduce rbtree search times.  clear_extent_bit
was improperly bypassing some of the checks around making sure
the extent state fields were correct for a given operation.

The fix used here (from Yan Zheng) is to use the hit_next
goto target instead of jumping all the way down to start clearing
bits without making sure the cached state was exactly correct
for the operation we were doing.

This also fixes up the setting of the start variable for both
ops in the case where we find an overlapping extent that
begins before the range we want to change.  In both cases
we were incorrectly going backwards from the original
requested change.

	NFSv4: Replace nfs4_path_walk() with VFS path lookup in a private namespace

uses VFS-driven automounting to reach all submounts barring the root, thus
preventing fscaching from being enabled on any submount other than the root.

This patch gets around that by propagating the NFS_OPTION_FSCACHE flag across
automounts.  If a uniquifier is supplied to a mount then this is propagated to
all automounts of that mount too.
