early init: fix error handling when opening /dev/console

2019-12-17T21:10:11Z

The comment says "this should never fail", but it definitely can fail when you have odd initial boot filesystems, or kernel configurations. So get the error handling right: filp_open() returns an error pointer.

Fix root mounting with no mount options

2019-12-16T16:42:39Z

The "trivial conversion" in commit cccaa5e33525 ("init: use do_mount() instead of ksys_mount()") was totally broken, since it didn't handle the case of a NULL mount data pointer. And while I had "tested" it (and presumably Dominik had too) that bug was hidden by me having options.

fs: remove ksys_dup()

2019-12-12T18:00:36Z

ksys_dup() is used only at one place in the kernel, namely to duplicate fd 0 of /dev/console to stdout and stderr. The same functionality can be achieved by using functions already available within the kernel namespace. Signed-off-by: Dominik Brodowski

init: unify opening /dev/console as stdin/stdout/stderr

2019-12-12T17:58:24Z

Merge the two instances where /dev/console is opened as stdin/stdout/stderr. Signed-off-by: Dominik Brodowski

init: use do_mount() instead of ksys_mount()

2019-12-12T13:50:05Z

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. Signed-off-by: Dominik Brodowski

initrd: use do_mount() instead of ksys_mount()

2019-12-12T13:50:03Z

All three calls to ksys_mount() in initrd-related kernel code can be switched over to do_mount(): - the first and third arguments are const strings in the kernel, and do not need to be copied over from userspace; - the fifth argument is NULL, and therefore no page needs to be, copied over from userspace; - the second and fourth argument are passed through anyway.

devtmpfs: use do_mount() instead of ksys_mount()

2019-12-12T13:49:57Z

In devtmpfs, do_mount() can be called directly instead of complex wrapping by ksys_mount(): - the first and third arguments are const strings in the kernel, and do not need to be copied over from userspace; - the fifth argument is NULL, and therefore no page needs to be copied over from userspace; - the second and fourth argument are passed through anyway.

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" Link: https://lore.kernel.org/lkml/201910011140.EA0181F13@keescook/ * 'for-linus' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/ebiederm/user-namespace: sysctl: Remove the sysctl system call
