2022-08-23arm64: fix rodata=fullMark Rutland
On arm64, "rodata=full" has been suppored (but not documented) since commit: c55191e96caa9d78 ("arm64: mm: apply r/o permissions of VM areas to its linear alias as well") As it's necessary to determine the rodata configuration early during boot, arm64 has an early_param() handler for this, whereas init/main.c has a __setup() handler which is run later. Unfortunately, this split meant that since commit: f9a40b0890658330 ("init/main.c: return 1 from handled __setup() functions") ... passing "rodata=full" would result in a spurious warning from the __setup() handler (though RO permissions would be configured appropriately). Further, "rodata=full" has been broken since commit: 0d6ea3ac94ca77c5 ("lib/kstrtox.c: add "false"/"true" support to kstrtobool()") ... which caused strtobool() to parse "full" as false (in addition to many other values not documented for the "rodata=" kernel parameter. This patch fixes this breakage by: * Moving the core parameter parser to an __early_param(), such that it is available early. * Adding an (optional) arch hook which arm64 can use to parse "full". * Updating the documentation to mention that "full" is valid for arm64. * Having the core parameter parser handle "on" and "off" explicitly, such that any undocumented values (e.g. typos such as "ful") are reported as errors rather than being silently accepted. Note that __setup() and early_param() have opposite conventions for their return values, where __setup() uses 1 to indicate a parameter was handled and early_param() uses 0 to indicate a parameter was handled. Fixes: f9a40b089065 ("init/main.c: return 1 from handled __setup() functions") Fixes: 0d6ea3ac94ca ("lib/kstrtox.c: add "false"/"true" support to kstrtobool()") Signed-off-by: Mark Rutland <mark.rutland@arm.com> Cc: Andy Shevchenko <andy.shevchenko@gmail.com> Cc: Ard Biesheuvel <ardb@kernel.org> Cc: Catalin Marinas <catalin.marinas@arm.com> Cc: Jagdish Gediya <jvgediya@linux.ibm.com> Cc: Matthew Wilcox <willy@infradead.org> Cc: Randy Dunlap <rdunlap@infradead.org> Cc: Will Deacon <will@kernel.org> Reviewed-by: Ard Biesheuvel <ardb@kernel.org> Link: https://lore.kernel.org/r/20220817154022.3974645-1-mark.rutland@arm.com Signed-off-by: Will Deacon <will@kernel.org>
2022-08-21asm goto: eradicate CC_HAS_ASM_GOTONick Desaulniers
GCC has supported asm goto since 4.5, and Clang has since version 9.0.0. The minimum supported versions of these tools for the build according to Documentation/process/changes.rst are 5.1 and 11.0.0 respectively. Remove the feature detection script, Kconfig option, and clean up some fallback code that is no longer supported. The removed script was also testing for a GCC specific bug that was fixed in the 4.7 release. Also remove workarounds for bpftrace using clang older than 9.0.0, since other BPF backend fixes are required at this point.

2022-08-08Merge tag 'modules-6.0-rc1' of ↵Linus Torvalds
git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/mcgrof/linux Pull module updates from Luis Chamberlain: "For the 6.0 merge window the modules code shifts to cleanup and minor fixes effort. This becomes much easier to do and review now due to the code split to its own directory from effort on the last kernel release. I expect to see more of this with time and as we expand on test coverage in the future. The cleanups and fixes come from usual suspects such as Christophe Leroy and Aaron Tomlin but there are also some other contributors. One particular minor fix worth mentioning is from Helge Deller, where he spotted a *forever* incorrect natural alignment on both ELF section header tables: * .altinstructions * __bug_table sections A lot of back and forth went on in trying to determine the ill effects of this misalignment being present for years and it has been determined there should be no real ill effects unless you have a buggy exception handler. Helge actually hit one of these buggy exception handlers on parisc which is how he ended up spotting this issue. When implemented correctly these paths with incorrect misalignment would just mean a performance penalty, but given that we are dealing with alternatives on modules and with the __bug_table (where info regardign BUG()/WARN() file/line information associated with it is stored) this really shouldn't be a big deal. The only other change with mentioning is the kmap() with kmap_local_page() and my only concern with that was on what is done after preemption, but the virtual addresses are restored after preemption.

2022-07-27kbuild: drop support for CONFIG_CC_OPTIMIZE_FOR_PERFORMANCE_O3Nick Desaulniers
The difference in most compilers between `-O3` and `-O2` is mostly down to whether loops with statically determinable trip counts are fully unrolled vs unrolled to a multiple of SIMD width. This patch is effectively a revert of commit 15f5db60a137 ("kbuild,arc: add CONFIG_CC_OPTIMIZE_FOR_PERFORMANCE_O3 for ARC") without re-adding ARCH_CFLAGS Ever since commit cfdbc2e16e65 ("ARC: Build system: Makefiles, Kconfig, Linker script") ARC has been built with -O3, though the reason for doing so was not specified in inline comments or the commit message. This commit does not re-add -O3 to arch/arc/Makefile. Folks looking to experiment with `-O3` (or any compiler flag for that matter) may pass them along to the command line invocation of make: $ make KCFLAGS=-O3 Code that looks to re-add an explicit Kconfig option for `-O3` should provide: 1. A rigorous and reproducible performance profile of a reasonable userspace workload that demonstrates a hot loop in the kernel that would benefit from `-O3` over `-O2`. 2. Disassembly of said loop body before and after. 3. Provides stats on terms of increase in file size.

2022-07-23cgroup: Make !percpu threadgroup_rwsem operations optionalTejun Heo
3942a9bd7b58 ("locking, rcu, cgroup: Avoid synchronize_sched() in __cgroup_procs_write()") disabled percpu operations on threadgroup_rwsem because the impiled synchronize_rcu() on write locking was pushing up the latencies too much for android which constantly moves processes between cgroups. This makes the hotter paths - fork and exit - slower as they're always forced into the slow path. There is no reason to force this on everyone especially given that more common static usage pattern can now completely avoid write-locking the rwsem. Write-locking is elided when turning on and off controllers on empty sub-trees and CLONE_INTO_CGROUP enables seeding a cgroup without grabbing the rwsem. Restore the default percpu operations and introduce the mount option "favordynmods" and config option CGROUP_FAVOR_DYNMODS for users who need lower latencies for the dynamic operations.

ctxt.2022.07.05a: Linux-kernel memory model development branch.
2022-07-17init: add "hostname" kernel parameterDan Moulding
The gethostname system call returns the hostname for the current machine. However, the kernel has no mechanism to initially set the current machine's name in such a way as to guarantee that the first userspace process to call gethostname will receive a meaningful result. It relies on some unspecified userspace process to first call sethostname before gethostname can produce a meaningful name. Traditionally the machine's hostname is set from userspace by the init system. The init system, in turn, often relies on a configuration file (say, /etc/hostname) to provide the value that it will supply in the call to sethostname. Consequently, the file system containing /etc/hostname usually must be available before the hostname will be set. There may, however, be earlier userspace processes that could call gethostname before the file system containing /etc/hostname is mounted. Such a process will get some other, likely meaningless, name from gethostname (such as "(none)", "localhost", or "darkstar"). A real-world example where this can happen, and lead to undesirable results, is with mdadm. When assembling arrays, mdadm distinguishes between "local" arrays and "foreign" arrays. A local array is one that properly belongs to the current machine, and a foreign array is one that is (possibly temporarily) attached to the current machine, but properly belongs to some other machine. To determine if an array is local or foreign, mdadm may compare the "homehost" recorded on the array with the current hostname. If mdadm is run before the root file system is mounted, perhaps because the root file system itself resides on an md-raid array, then /etc/hostname isn't yet available and the init system will not yet have called sethostname, causing mdadm to incorrectly conclude that all of the local arrays are foreign. Solving this problem *could* be delegated to the init system. It could be left up to the init system (including any init system that starts within an initramfs, if one is in use) to ensure that sethostname is called before any other userspace process could possibly call gethostname. However, it may not always be obvious which processes could call gethostname (for example, udev itself might not call gethostname, but it could via udev rules invoke processes that do). Additionally, the init system has to ensure that the hostname configuration value is stored in some place where it will be readily accessible during early boot. Unfortunately, every init system will attempt to (or has already attempted to) solve this problem in a different, possibly incorrect, way. This makes getting consistently working configurations harder for users. I believe it is better for the kernel to provide the means by which the hostname may be set early, rather than making this a problem for the init system to solve. The option to set the hostname during early startup, via a kernel parameter, provides a simple, reliable way to solve this problem. It also could make system configuration easier for some embedded systems.

2022-07-15crypto: lib - make the sha1 library optionalEric Biggers
Since the Linux RNG no longer uses sha1_transform(), the SHA-1 library is no longer needed unconditionally. Make it possible to build the Linux kernel without the SHA-1 library by putting it behind a kconfig option, and selecting this new option from the kconfig options that gate the remaining users: CRYPTO_SHA1 for crypto/sha1_generic.c, BPF for kernel/bpf/core.c, and IPV6 for net/ipv6/addrconf.c. Unfortunately, since BPF is selected by NET, for now this can only make a difference for kernels built without networking support.

2022-07-12module: Move module's Kconfig items in kernel/module/Christophe Leroy
In init/Kconfig, the part dedicated to modules is quite large. Move it into a dedicated Kconfig in kernel/module/ MODULES_TREE_LOOKUP was outside of the 'if MODULES', but as it is only used when MODULES are set, move it in with everything else to avoid confusion. MODULE_SIG_FORMAT is left in init/Kconfig because this configuration item is not used in kernel/modules/ but in kernel/ and can be selected independently from CONFIG_MODULES. It is for instance selected from security/integrity/ima/Kconfig. Signed-off-by: Christophe Leroy <christophe.leroy@csgroup.eu> Signed-off-by: Luis Chamberlain <mcgrof@kernel.org>

2022-06-09gcc-12: disable '-Warray-bounds' universally for nowLinus Torvalds
In commit 8b202ee21839 ("s390: disable -Warray-bounds") the s390 people disabled the '-Warray-bounds' warning for gcc-12, because the new logic in gcc would cause warnings for their use of the S390_lowcore macro, which accesses absolute pointers. It turns out gcc-12 has many other issues in this area, so this takes that s390 warning disable logic, and turns it into a kernel build config entry instead. Part of the intent is that we can make this all much more targeted, and use this conflig flag to disable it in only particular configurations that cause problems, with the s390 case as an example: select GCC12_NO_ARRAY_BOUNDS and we could do that for other configuration cases that cause issues. Or we could possibly use the CONFIG_CC_NO_ARRAY_BOUNDS thing in a more targeted way, and disable the warning only for particular uses: again the s390 case as an example: KBUILD_CFLAGS_DECOMPRESSOR += $(if $(CONFIG_CC_NO_ARRAY_BOUNDS),-Wno-array-bounds) but this ends up just doing it globally in the top-level Makefile, since the current issues are spread fairly widely all over: KBUILD_CFLAGS-$(CONFIG_CC_NO_ARRAY_BOUNDS) += -Wno-array-bounds We'll try to limit this later, since the gcc-12 problems are rare enough that *much* of the kernel can be built with it without disabling this warning.

At my request Aaron Tomlin spearheaded that effort with the goal to not introduce any functional at all during that endeavour. The penalty for the split is +1322 bytes total, +112 bytes in data, +1210 bytes in text while bss is unchanged. One of the benefits of this other than helping make the code easier to read and review is summoning more help on review for changes with livepatching so kernel/module/livepatch.c is now pegged as maintained by the live patching folks.

There are three reasons why an architecture might want this: a) On some architectures (like book3s/32) it is not possible to protect against execution on a page basis. The exec stuff can be mapped by different arch segment sizes (on book3s/32 that is 256M segments). By default the module area is in an Exec segment while vmalloc area is in a NoExec segment. Using vmalloc lets you muck with module data as NoExec on those architectures whereas before you could not. b) By pushing more module data to vmalloc you also increase the probability of module text to remain within a closer distance from kernel core text and this reduces trampolines, this has been reported on arm first and powerpc folks are following that lead. c) Free'ing module_alloc() (Exec by default) area leaves this exposed as Exec by default, some architectures have some security enhancements to set this as NoExec on free, and splitting module data with text let's future generic special allocators be added to the kernel without having developers try to grok the tribal knowledge per arch. Work like Rick Edgecombe's permission vmalloc interface [0] becomes easier to address over time.

2022-05-24kbuild: link symbol CRCs at final link, removing CONFIG_MODULE_REL_CRCSMasahiro Yamada
include/{linux,asm-generic}/export.h defines a weak symbol, __crc_* as a placeholder. Genksyms writes the version CRCs into the linker script, which will be used for filling the __crc_* symbols. The linker script format depends on CONFIG_MODULE_REL_CRCS. If it is enabled, __crc_* holds the offset to the reference of CRC. It is time to get rid of this complexity. Now that modpost parses text files (.*.cmd) to collect all the CRCs, it can generate C code that will be linked to the vmlinux or modules. Generate a new C file, .vmlinux.export.c, which contains the CRCs of symbols exported by vmlinux. It is compiled and linked to vmlinux in scripts/link-vmlinux.sh. Put the CRCs of symbols exported by modules into the existing *.mod.c files. No additional build step is needed for modules. As before, *.mod.c are compiled and linked to *.ko in scripts/Makefile.modfinal. No linker magic is used here. The new C implementation works in the same way, whether CONFIG_RELOCATABLE is enabled or not. CONFIG_MODULE_REL_CRCS is no longer needed. Previously, Kbuild invoked additional $(LD) to update the CRCs in objects, but this step is unneeded too.

2022-05-18random: handle latent entropy and command line from random_init()Jason A. Donenfeld
Currently, start_kernel() adds latent entropy and the command line to the entropy bool *after* the RNG has been initialized, deferring when it's actually used by things like stack canaries until the next time the pool is seeded. This surely is not intended. Rather than splitting up which entropy gets added where and when between start_kernel() and random_init(), just do everything in random_init(), which should eliminate these kinds of bugs in the future. While we're at it, rename the awkwardly titled "rand_initialize()" to the more standard "random_init()" nomenclature.

2022-05-13init: call time_init() before rand_initialize()Jason A. Donenfeld
Currently time_init() is called after rand_initialize(), but rand_initialize() makes use of the timer on various platforms, and sometimes this timer needs to be initialized by time_init() first. In order for random_get_entropy() to not return zero during early boot when it's potentially used as an entropy source, reverse the order of these two calls. The block doing random initialization was right before time_init() before, so changing the order shouldn't have any complicated effects.

2022-05-13mm/uffd: move USERFAULTFD configs into mm/Peter Xu
We used to have USERFAULTFD configs stored in init/. It makes sense as a start because that's the default place for storing syscall related configs. However userfaultfd evolved a bit in the past few years and some more config options were added. They're no longer related to syscalls and start to be not suitable to be kept in the init/ directory anymore, because they're pure mm concepts. But it's not ideal either to keep the userfaultfd configs separate from each other. Hence this patch moves the userfaultfd configs under init/ to be under mm/ so that we'll start to group all userfaultfd configs together. We do have quite a few examples of syscall related configs that are not put under init/Kconfig: FTRACE_SYSCALLS, SWAP, FILE_LOCKING, MEMFD_CREATE.. They all reside in the dir where they're more suitable for the concept. So it seems there's no restriction to keep the role of having syscall related CONFIG_* under init/ only.

Currently, only the initial module that tainted the kernel is recorded e.g. when an out-of-tree module is loaded. The purpose of this patch is to allow the kernel to maintain a record of each unloaded module that taints the kernel. So, in addition to displaying a list of linked modules (see print_modules()) e.g. in the event of a detected bad page, unloaded modules that carried a taint/or taints are displayed too. A tainted module unload count is maintained. The number of tracked modules is not fixed. This feature is disabled by default.

2022-05-09initramfs: add INITRAMFS_PRESERVE_MTIME Kconfig optionDavid Disseldorp
initramfs cpio mtime preservation, as implemented in commit 889d51a10712 ("initramfs: add option to preserve mtime from initramfs cpio images"), uses a linked list to defer directory mtime processing until after all other items in the cpio archive have been processed. This is done to ensure that parent directory mtimes aren't overwritten via subsequent child creation. The lkml link below indicates that the mtime retention use case was for embedded devices with applications running exclusively out of initramfs, where the 32-bit mtime value provided a rough file version identifier. Linux distributions which discard an extracted initramfs immediately after the root filesystem has been mounted may want to avoid the unnecessary overhead. This change adds a new INITRAMFS_PRESERVE_MTIME Kconfig option, which can be used to disable on-by-default mtime retention and in turn speed up initramfs extraction, particularly for cpio archives with large directory counts. Benchmarks with a one million directory cpio archive extracted 20 times demonstrated: mean extraction time (s) std dev INITRAMFS_PRESERVE_MTIME=y 3.808 0.006 INITRAMFS_PRESERVE_MTIME unset 3.056 0.004 The above extraction times were measured using ftrace (initcall_finish - initcall_start) values for populate_rootfs() with initramfs_async disabled.

2022-05-09initramfs: refactor do_header() cpio magic checksDavid Disseldorp
Patch series "initramfs: "crc" cpio format and INITRAMFS_PRESERVE_MTIME", v7. This patchset does some minor initramfs refactoring and allows cpio entry mtime preservation to be disabled via a new Kconfig INITRAMFS_PRESERVE_MTIME option. Patches 4/6 to 6/6 implement support for creation and extraction of "crc" cpio archives, which carry file data checksums. Basic tests for this functionality can be found at https://github.com/rapido-linux/rapido/pull/163 This patch (of 6): do_header() is called for each cpio entry and fails if the first six bytes don't match "newc" magic. The magic check includes a special case error message if POSIX.1 ASCII (cpio -H odc) magic is detected. This special case POSIX.1 check can be nested under the "newc" mismatch code path to avoid calling memcmp() twice in a non-error case.

2022-05-07init: Deal with the init process being a user mode processEric W. Biederman
It is silly for user_mode_thread to leave PF_KTHREAD set on the resulting task. Update the init process so that it does not care if PF_KTHREAD is set or not. Ensure do_populate_rootfs flushes all delayed fput work by calling task_work_run. In the rare instance that async_schedule_domain calls do_populate_rootfs synchronously it is possible do_populate_rootfs will be called directly from the init process. At which point fput will call "task_work_add(current, ..., TWA_RESUME)". The files on the initramfs need to be completely put before we attempt to exec them (which is before the code enters userspace). So call task_work_run just in case there are any pending fput operations. Link: https://lkml.kernel.org/r/20220506141512.516114-5-ebiederm@xmission.com Signed-off-by: "Eric W.

2022-05-06kthread: Don't allocate kthread_struct for init and umhEric W. Biederman
If kthread_is_per_cpu runs concurrently with free_kthread_struct the kthread_struct that was just freed may be read from. This bug was introduced by commit 40966e316f86 ("kthread: Ensure struct kthread is present for all kthreads"). When kthread_struct started to be allocated for all tasks that have PF_KTHREAD set. This in turn required the kthread_struct to be freed in kernel_execve and violated the assumption that kthread_struct will have the same lifetime as the task. Looking a bit deeper this only applies to callers of kernel_execve which is just the init process and the user mode helper processes. These processes really don't want to be kernel threads but are for historical reasons. Mostly that copy_thread does not know how to take a kernel mode function to the process with for processes without PF_KTHREAD or PF_IO_WORKER set. Solve this by not allocating kthread_struct for the init process and the user mode helper processes. This is done by adding a kthread member to struct kernel_clone_args. Setting kthread in fork_idle and kernel_thread. Adding user_mode_thread that works like kernel_thread except it does not set kthread. In fork only allocating the kthread_struct if .kthread is set. I have looked at kernel/kthread.c and since commit 40966e316f86 ("kthread: Ensure struct kthread is present for all kthreads") there have been no assumptions added that to_kthread or __to_kthread will not return NULL. There are a few callers of to_kthread or __to_kthread that assume a non-NULL struct kthread pointer will be returned. These functions are kthread_data(), kthread_parmme(), kthread_exit(), kthread(), kthread_park(), kthread_unpark(), kthread_stop(). All of those functions can reasonably expected to be called when it is know that a task is a kthread so that assumption seems reasonable.

This allows kernel developer to embed a default bootconfig file in the kernel instead of embedding it in the initrd. This will be good for who are using the kernel without initrd, or who needs a default bootconfigs. This needs to set two kconfigs: CONFIG_BOOT_CONFIG_EMBED=y and set the file path to CONFIG_BOOT_CONFIG_EMBED_FILE. Note that you still need 'bootconfig' command line option to load the embedded bootconfig. Also if you boot using an initrd with a different bootconfig, the kernel will use the bootconfig in the initrd, instead of the default bootconfig.
