Kirill A. Shutemov 09cbfeaf1a mm, fs: get rid of PAGE_CACHE_* and page_cache_{get,release} macros
PAGE_CACHE_{SIZE,SHIFT,MASK,ALIGN} macros were introduced *long* time
ago with promise that one day it will be possible to implement page
cache with bigger chunks than PAGE_SIZE.

This promise never materialized.  And unlikely will.

We have many places where PAGE_CACHE_SIZE assumed to be equal to
PAGE_SIZE.  And it's constant source of confusion on whether
PAGE_CACHE_* or PAGE_* constant should be used in a particular case,
especially on the border between fs and mm.

Global switching to PAGE_CACHE_SIZE != PAGE_SIZE would cause to much
breakage to be doable.

Let's stop pretending that pages in page cache are special.  They are
not.

The changes are pretty straight-forward:

 - <foo> << (PAGE_CACHE_SHIFT - PAGE_SHIFT) -> <foo>;

 - <foo> >> (PAGE_CACHE_SHIFT - PAGE_SHIFT) -> <foo>;

 - PAGE_CACHE_{SIZE,SHIFT,MASK,ALIGN} -> PAGE_{SIZE,SHIFT,MASK,ALIGN};

 - page_cache_get() -> get_page();

 - page_cache_release() -> put_page();

This patch contains automated changes generated with coccinelle using
script below.  For some reason, coccinelle doesn't patch header files.
I've called spatch for them manually.

The only adjustment after coccinelle is revert of changes to
PAGE_CAHCE_ALIGN definition: we are going to drop it later.

There are few places in the code where coccinelle didn't reach.  I'll
fix them manually in a separate patch.  Comments and documentation also
will be addressed with the separate patch.

Pull libnvdimm updates from Dan Williams:
 "Outside of the new ACPI-NFIT hot-add support this pull request is more
  notable for what it does not contain, than what it does.  There were a
  handful of development topics this cycle, dax get_user_pages, dax
  fsync, and raw block dax, that need more more iteration and will wait
  for 4.5.

  The patches to make devm and the pmem driver NUMA aware have been in
  -next for several weeks.  The hot-add support has not, but is
  contained to the NFIT driver and is passing unit tests.  The coredump
  support is straightforward and was looked over by Jeff.  All of it has
  received a 0day build success notification across 107 configs.

  Summary:

   - Add support for the ACPI 6.0 NFIT hot add mechanism to process
     updates of the NFIT at runtime.

Rich Felker 1bde925d23 fs/binfmt_elf_fdpic.c: provide NOMMU loader for regular ELF binaries
The ELF binary loader in binfmt_elf.c requires an MMU, making it
impossible to use regular ELF binaries on NOMMU archs.  However, the FDPIC
ELF loader in binfmt_elf_fdpic.c is fully capable as a loader for plain
ELF, which requires constant displacements between LOAD segments, since it
already supports FDPIC ELF files flagged as needing constant displacement.

This patch adjusts the FDPIC ELF loader to accept non-FDPIC ELF files on
NOMMU archs.  They are treated identically to FDPIC ELF files with the
constant-displacement flag bit set, except for personality, which must
match the ABI of the program being loaded; the PER_LINUX_FDPIC personality
controls how the kernel interprets function pointers passed to sigaction.

Files that do not set a stack size requirement explicitly are given a
default stack size (matching the amount of committed stack the normal ELF
loader for MMU archs would give them) rather than being rejected; this is
necessary because plain ELF files generally do not declare stack
requirements in theit program headers.

Only ET_DYN (PIE) format ELF files are supported, since loading at a fixed
virtual address is not possible on NOMMU.

This patch was developed and tested on J2 (SH2-compatible) but should
be usable immediately on all archs where binfmt_elf_fdpic is
available. Moreover, by providing dummy definitions of the
elf_check_fdpic() and elf_check_const_displacement() macros for archs
which lack an FDPIC ABI, it should be possible to enable building of
binfmt_elf_fdpic on all other NOMMU archs and thereby give them ELF
binary support, but I have not yet tested this.

The motivation for using binfmt_elf_fdpic.c rather than adapting
binfmt_elf.c to NOMMU is that the former already has all the necessary
code to work properly on NOMMU and has already received widespread
real-world use and testing. I hope this is not controversial.

I'm not really happy with having to unset the FDPIC_FUNCPTRS
personality bit when loading non-FDPIC ELF. This bit should really
reset automatically on execve, since otherwise, executing non-ELF
binaries (e.g. bFLT) from an FDPIC process will leave the personality
in the wrong state and severely break signal handling. But that's a
separate, existing bug and I don't know the right place to fix it.

Rich Felker 4ac3131110 fs/binfmt_elf_fdpic.c: fix brk area overlap with stack on NOMMU
On NOMMU archs, the FDPIC ELF loader sets up the usable brk range to
overlap with all but the last PAGE_SIZE bytes of the stack. This leads
to catastrophic memory reuse/corruption if brk is used. Fix by setting
the brk area to zero size to disable its use.

Konstantin Khlebnikov 314e51b985 mm: kill vma flag VM_RESERVED and mm->reserved_vm counter
A long time ago, in v2.4, VM_RESERVED kept swapout process off VMA,
currently it lost original meaning but still has some effects:

 | effect                 | alternative flags
-+------------------------+---------------------------------------------
1| account as reserved_vm | VM_IO
2| skip in core dump      | VM_IO, VM_DONTDUMP
3| do not merge or expand | VM_IO, VM_DONTEXPAND, VM_HUGETLB, VM_PFNMAP
4| do not mlock           | VM_IO, VM_DONTEXPAND, VM_HUGETLB, VM_PFNMAP

This patch removes reserved_vm counter from mm_struct.  Seems like nobody
cares about it, it does not exported into userspace directly, it only

Denys Vlasenko 5ab1c309b3 coredump: pass siginfo_t* to do_coredump() and below, not merely signr
This is a preparatory patch for the introduction of NT_SIGINFO elf note.

With this patch we pass "siginfo_t *siginfo" instead of "int signr" to
do_coredump() and put it into coredump_params.  It will be used by the
next patch.  Most changes are simple s/signr/siginfo->si_signo/.

Linus Torvalds 644473e9c6 Merge branch 'for-linus' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/ebiederm/user-namespace
Pull user namespace enhancements from Eric Biederman:
 "This is a course correction for the user namespace, so that we can
  reach an inexpensive, maintainable, and reasonably complete
  implementation.

  Highlights:
   - Config guards make it impossible to enable the user namespace and
     code that has not been converted to be user namespace safe.

   - Use of the new kuid_t type ensures the if you somehow get past the
     config guards the kernel will encounter type errors if you enable
     user namespaces and attempt to compile in code whose permission
     checks have not been updated to be user namespace safe.

   - All uids from child user namespaces are mapped into the initial
     user namespace before they are processed.  Removing the need to add
     an additional check to see if the user namespace of the compared
     uids remains the same.

   - With the user namespaces compiled out the performance is as good or
     better than it is today.

   - For most operations absolutely nothing changes performance or
     operationally with the user namespace enabled.

   - The worst case performance I could come up with was timing 1
     billion cache cold stat operations with the user namespace code
     enabled.  This went from 156s to 164s on my laptop (or 156ns to
     164ns per stat operation).

   - (uid_t)-1 and (gid_t)-1 are reserved as an internal error value.
     Most uid/gid setting system calls treat these value specially
     anyway so attempting to use -1 as a uid would likely cause
     entertaining failures in userspace.

   - If setuid is called with a uid that can not be mapped setuid fails.
     I have looked at sendmail, login, ssh and every other program I
     could think of that would call setuid and they all check for and
     handle the case where setuid fails.

   - If stat or a similar system call is called from a context in which
     we can not map a uid we lie and return overflowuid.  The LFS
     experience suggests not lying and returning an error code might be
     better, but the historical precedent with uids is different and I
     can not think of anything that would break by lying about a uid we
     can't map.

   - Capabilities are localized to the current user namespace making it
     safe to give the initial user in a user namespace all capabilities.

  My git tree covers all of the modifications needed to convert the core
  kernel and enough changes to make a system bootable to runlevel 1."

Linus Torvalds 6be5ceb02e VM: add "vm_mmap()" helper function
This continues the theme started with vm_brk() and vm_munmap():
vm_mmap() does the same thing as do_mmap(), but additionally does the
required VM locking.

This uninlines (and rewrites it to be clearer) do_mmap(), which sadly
duplicates it in mm/mmap.c and mm/nommu.c.  But that way we don't have
to export our internal do_mmap_pgoff() function.

Some day we hopefully don't have to export do_mmap() either, if all
modular users can become the simpler vm_mmap() instead.  We're actually
very close to that already, with the notable exception of the (broken)
use in i810, and a couple of stragglers in binfmt_elf.

Since dumpable bits are not protected by lock, there is a chance to change
these bits between (1) and (2).

To solve this issue, this patch copies mm->flags to
coredump_params.mm_flags at the beginning of do_coredump() and uses it
instead of get_dumpable() while dumping core.

This copy is also passed to binfmt->core_dump, since elf*_core_dump() uses
dump_filter bits in mm->flags.

Daisuke HATAYAMA 8d9032bbe4 elf coredump: add extended numbering support
The current ELF dumper implementation can produce broken corefiles if
program headers exceed 65535.  This number is determined by the number of
vmas which the process have.  In particular, some extreme programs may use
more than 65535 vmas.  (If you google max_map_count, you can find some
users facing this problem.) This kind of program never be able to generate
correct coredumps.

This patch implements ``extended numbering'' that uses sh_info field of
the first section header instead of e_phnum field in order to represent
upto 4294967295 vmas.

This is supported by
AMD64-ABI(http://www.x86-64.org/documentation.html) and
Solaris(http://docs.sun.com/app/docs/doc/817-1984/).
Of course, we are preparing patches for gdb and binutils.

Daisuke HATAYAMA 93eb211e6c elf coredump: make offset calculation process and writing process explicit
By the next patch, elf_core_dump() and elf_fdpic_core_dump() will support
extended numbering and so will produce the corefiles with section header
table in a special case.

The problem is the process of writing a file header offset of the section
header table into e_shoff field of the ELF header.  ELF header is
positioned at the beginning of the corefile, while section header at the
end.  So, we need to take which of the following ways:

 1. Seek backward to retry writing operation for ELF header
    after writing process for a whole part

 2. Make offset calculation process and writing process
    totally sequential

The clause 1.  is not always possible: one cannot assume that file system
supports seek function.  Consider the no_llseek case.

Therefore, this patch adopts the clause 2.

Daisuke HATAYAMA 05f47fda9f coredump: unify dump_seek() implementations for each binfmt_*.c
The current ELF dumper can produce broken corefiles if program headers
exceed 65535.  In particular, the program in 64-bit environment often
demands more than 65535 mmaps.  If you google max_map_count, then you can
find many users facing this problem.

Solaris has already dealt with this issue, and other OSes have also
adopted the same method as in Solaris.  Currently, Sun's document and AMD
64 ABI include the description for the extension, where they call the
extension Extended Numbering.  See Reference for further information.

I believe that linux kernel should adopt the same way as they did, so I've
written this patch.

I am also preparing for patches of GDB and binutils.

How to fix
==========

In new dumping process, there are two cases according to weather or
not the number of program headers is equal to or more than 65535.

 - if less than 65535, the produced corefile format is exactly the same
   as the ordinary one.

 - if equal to or more than 65535, then e_phnum field is set to newly
   introduced constant PN_XNUM(0xffff) and the actual number of program
   headers is set to sh_info field of the section header at index 0.

Compatibility Concern
=====================

 * As already mentioned in Summary, Sun and AMD64 has already adopted
   this.  See Reference.

 * There are four combinations according to whether kernel and userland
   tools are respectively modified or not.  The next table summarizes
   shortly for each combination.

                  ---------------------------------------------
                     Original Kernel    |   Modified Kernel
                  ---------------------------------------------
    	            < 65535  | >= 65535 | < 65535  | >= 65535
  -------------------------------------------------------------
   Original Tools |    OK    |  broken  |   OK     | broken (#)
  -------------------------------------------------------------
   Modified Tools |    OK    |  broken  |   OK     |    OK
  -------------------------------------------------------------

  Note that there is no case that `OK' changes to `broken'.

  (#) Although this case remains broken, O-M behaves better than
  O-O. That is, while in O-O case e_phnum field would be extremely
  small due to integer overflow, in O-M case it is guaranteed to be at
  least 65535 by being set to PN_XNUM(0xFFFF), much closer to the
  actual correct value than the O-O case.

Test Program
============

Here is a test program mkmmaps.c that is useful to produce the
corefile with many mmaps. To use this, please take the following
steps:

$ ulimit -c unlimited
$ sysctl vm.max_map_count=70000 # default 65530 is too small
$ sysctl fs.file-max=70000
$ mkmmaps 65535

Then, the program will abort and a corefile will be generated.

If failed, there are two cases according to the error message
displayed.

 * ``out of memory'' means vm.max_map_count is still smaller

 * ``too many open files'' means fs.file-max is still smaller

So, please change it to a larger value, and then retry it.

 - System V ABI AMD64 Architecture Processor Supplement
   Draft Version 0.99., May 11, 2009.

This patch:

There are three different definitions for dump_seek() functions in
binfmt_aout.c, binfmt_elf.c and binfmt_elf_fdpic.c, respectively.  The
only for binfmt_elf.c.

My next patch will move dump_seek() into a header file in order to share
the same implementations for dump_write() and dump_seek().  As the first
step, this patch unify these three definitions for dump_seek() by applying
the past commits that have been applied only for binfmt_elf.c.

Specifically, the modification made here is part of the following commits:

  * d025c9db7f
  * 7f14daa19e

This patch does not change a shape of corefiles.

Linus Torvalds 221af7f87b Split 'flush_old_exec' into two functions
'flush_old_exec()' is the point of no return when doing an execve(), and
it is pretty badly misnamed.  It doesn't just flush the old executable
environment, it also starts up the new one.

Which is very inconvenient for things like setting up the new
personality, because we want the new personality to affect the starting
of the new environment, but at the same time we do _not_ want the new
personality to take effect if flushing the old one fails.

As a result, the x86-64 '32-bit' personality is actually done using this
insane "I'm going to change the ABI, but I haven't done it yet" bit
(TIF_ABI_PENDING), with SET_PERSONALITY() not actually setting the
personality, but just the "pending" bit, so that "flush_thread()" can do
the actual personality magic.

This patch in no way changes any of that insanity, but it does split the
'flush_old_exec()' function up into a preparatory part that can fail
(still called flush_old_exec()), and a new part that will actually set
up the new exec environment (setup_new_exec()).  All callers are changed
to trivially comply with the new world order.

Mike Frysinger 04e4f2b18c FDPIC: Respect PT_GNU_STACK exec protection markings when creating NOMMU stack
The current code will load the stack size and protection markings, but
then only use the markings in the MMU code path.  The NOMMU code path
always passes PROT_EXEC to the mmap() call.  While this doesn't matter
to most people whilst the code is running, it will cause a pointless
icache flush when starting every FDPIC application.  Typically this
icache flush will be of a region on the order of 128KB in size, or may
be the entire icache, depending on the facilities available on the CPU.

In the case where the arch default behaviour seems to be desired
(EXSTACK_DEFAULT), we probe VM_STACK_FLAGS for VM_EXEC to determine
whether we should be setting PROT_EXEC or not.

For arches that support an MPU (Memory Protection Unit - an MMU without
the virtual mapping capability), setting PROT_EXEC or not will make an
important difference.

It should be noted that this change also affects the executability of
the brk region, since ELF-FDPIC has that share with the stack.  However,
this is probably irrelevant as NOMMU programs aren't likely to use the
brk region, preferring instead allocation via mmap().
