Use the LSM ID number instead of the LSM name to identify which
security module's attibute data should be shown in /proc/self/attr.
The security_[gs]etprocattr() functions have been changed to expect
the LSM ID. The change from a string comparison to an integer comparison
in these functions will provide a minor performance improvement.

there's little I can say which isn't in the individual changelogs.
The lengthier patch series are
- "kdump: use generic functions to simplify crashkernel reservation in
arch", from Baoquan He. This is mainly cleanups and consolidation of
the "crashkernel=" kernel parameter handling.
- After much discussion, David Laight's "minmax: Relax type checks in
min() and max()" is here. Hopefully reduces some typecasting and the
use of min_t() and max_t().
- A group of patches from Oleg Nesterov which clean up and slightly fix
our handling of reads from /proc/PID/task/... and which remove

"This finishes the conversion of all inode time fields to accessor
functions as discussed on list. Changing timestamps manually as we
used to do before is error prone. Using accessors function makes this
robust.
It does not contain the switch of the time fields to discrete 64 bit
integers to replace struct timespec and free up space in struct inode.
But after this, the switch can be trivially made and the patch should
only affect the vfs if we decide to do it"

Overlayfs uses backing files with "fake" overlayfs f_path and "real"
underlying f_inode, in order to use underlying inode aops for mapped
files and to display the overlayfs path in /proc/<pid>/maps.
In preparation for storing the overlayfs "fake" path instead of the
underlying "real" path in struct backing_file, define a noop helper
file_user_path() that returns f_path for now.
Use the new helper in procfs and kernel logs whenever a path of a

Patch series "introduce __next_thread(), change next_thread()".
After commit dce8f8ed1d ("document while_each_thread(), change
first_tid() to use for_each_thread()") + this series
1. We have only one lockless user of next_thread(), task_group_seq_get_next().
I think it should be changed too.
2. We have only one user of task_struct->thread_group, thread_group_empty().
The next patches will change thread_group_empty() and kill ->thread_group.
This patch (of 2):
next_tid(start) does:
rcu_read_lock();
if (pid_alive(start)) {
pos = next_thread(start);
if (thread_group_leader(pos))
pos = NULL;
else
get_task_struct(pos);
it should return pos = NULL when next_thread() wraps to the 1st thread
in the thread group, group leader, and the thread_group_leader() check
tries to detect this case.
But this can race with exec. To simplify, suppose we have a main thread
M and a single sub-thread T, next_tid(T) should return NULL.
Now suppose that T execs. If next_tid(T) is called after T changes the
leadership and before it does release_task() which removes the old leader
from list, then next_thread() returns M and thread_group_leader(M) = F.
Lockless use of next_thread() should be avoided. After this change only
task_group_seq_get_next() does this, and I believe it should be changed
as well.

"Mode changes to files under /proc/<pid>/ aren't supported ever since
commit 6d76fa58b0 ("Don't allow chmod() on the /proc/<pid>/ files").
Due to an oversight in commit 1b3044e39a ("procfs: fix pthread
cross-thread naming if !PR_DUMPABLE") in switching from REG to NOD,
mode changes on /proc/thread-self/comm were accidently allowed.
Similar, mode changes for all files beneath /proc/<pid>/net/ are
blocked but mode changes on /proc/<pid>/net itself were accidently
allowed.
Both issues come down to not using the generic proc_setattr() helper
which blocks all mode changes. This is rectified with this pull
request.
This also removes a strange nolibc test that abused /proc/<pid>/net
for testing mode changes. Using procfs for this test never made a lot
of sense given procfs has special semantics for almost everything
anway.
Both changes are minor user-visible changes. It is however very
unlikely that mode changes on proc/<pid>/net and

to optimize away a lot of metadata updates, down to around 1 per
jiffy, even when a file is under heavy writes.
Unfortunately, this has always been an issue when we're exporting via
NFSv3, which relies on timestamps to validate caches. A lot of changes
can happen in a jiffy, so timestamps aren't sufficient to help the
client decide to invalidate the cache.
Even with NFSv4, a lot of exported filesystems don't properly support
a change attribute and are subject to the same problems with timestamp
granularity. Other applications have similar issues with timestamps
(e.g., backup applications).
If we were to always use fine-grained timestamps, that would improve
the situation, but that becomes rather expensive, as the underlying
filesystem would have to log a lot more metadata updates.
This introduces fine-grained timestamps that are used when they are
actively queried.
This uses the 31st bit of the ctime tv_nsec field to indicate that
something has queried the inode for the mtime or ctime. When this flag
is set, on the next mtime or ctime update, the kernel will fetch a
fine-grained timestamp instead of the usual coarse-grained one.
As POSIX generally mandates that when the mtime changes, the ctime
must also change the kernel always stores normalized ctime values, so
only the first 30 bits of the tv_nsec field are ever used.
Filesytems can opt into this behavior by setting the FS_MGTIME flag in
the fstype. Filesystems that don't set this flag will continue to use
coarse-grained timestamps.
Various preparatory changes, fixes and cleanups are included:
- Fixup all relevant places where POSIX requires updating ctime
together with mtime. This is a wide-range of places and all
maintainers provided necessary Acks.
- Add new accessors for inode->i_ctime directly and change all
callers to rely on them. Plain accesses to inode->i_ctime are now
gone and it is accordingly rename to inode->__i_ctime and commented
as requiring accessors.
- Extend generic_fillattr() to pass in a request mask mirroring in a
sense the statx() uapi. This allows callers to pass in a request
mask to only get a subset of attributes filled in.
- Rework timestamp updates so it's possible to drop the @now
parameter the update_time() inode operation and associated helpers.
- Add inode_update_timestamps() and convert all filesystems to it
removing a bunch of open-coding"

As the number of ksm zero pages is not included in ksm_merging_pages per
process when enabling use_zero_pages, it's unclear of how many actual
pages are merged by KSM. To let users accurately estimate their memory
demands when unsharing KSM zero-pages, it's necessary to show KSM zero-
pages per process. In addition, it help users to know the actual KSM
profit because KSM-placed zero pages are also benefit from KSM.
since unsharing zero pages placed by KSM accurately is achieved, then
tracking empty pages merging and unmerging is not a difficult thing any
longer.
Since we already have /proc/<pid>/ksm_stat, just add the information of
'ksm_zero_pages' in it.

generic_fillattr just fills in the entire stat struct indiscriminately
today, copying data from the inode. There is at least one attribute
(STATX_CHANGE_COOKIE) that can have side effects when it is reported,
and we're looking at adding more with the addition of multigrain
timestamps.
Add a request_mask argument to generic_fillattr and have most callers
just pass in the value that is passed to getattr. Have other callers
(e.g. ksmbd) just pass in STATX_BASIC_STATS. Also move the setting of
STATX_CHANGE_COOKIE into generic_fillattr.

I'm looking at the directory handling due to the discussion about f_pos
locking (see commit 797964253d35: "file: reinstate f_pos locking
optimization for regular files"), and wanting to clean that up.
And one source of ugliness is how we were supposed to move filesystems
over to the '->iterate_shared()' function that only takes the inode lock
for reading many many years ago, but several filesystems still use the
bad old '->iterate()' that takes the inode lock for exclusive access.
See commit 6192269444 ("introduce a parallel variant of ->iterate()")
that also added some documentation stating
Old method is only used if the new one is absent; eventually it will
be removed. Switch while you still can; the old one won't stay.
and that was back in April 2016. Here we are, many years later, and the
old version is still clearly sadly alive and well.
Now, some of those old style iterators are probably just because the
filesystem may end up having per-inode mutable data that it uses for
iterating a directory, but at least one case is just a mistake.
Al switched over most filesystems to use '->iterate_shared()' back when
it was introduced. In particular, the /proc filesystem was converted as
one of the first ones in commit f50752eaa0 ("switch all procfs
directories ->iterate_shared()").
But then later one new user of '->iterate()' was then re-introduced by
commit 6d9c939dbe ("procfs: add smack subdir to attrs").
And that's clearly not what we wanted, since that new case just uses the
same 'proc_pident_readdir()' and 'proc_pident_lookup()' helper functions
that other /proc pident directories use, and they are most definitely
safe to use with the inode lock held shared.
So just fix it.
This still leaves a fair number of oddball filesystems using the
old-style directory iterator (ceph, coda, exfat, jfs, ntfs, ocfs2,
overlayfs, and vboxsf), but at least we don't have any remaining in the
core filesystems.
I'm going to add a wrapper function that just drops the read-lock and
takes it as a write lock, so that we can clean up the core vfs layer and
make all the ugly 'this filesystem needs exclusive inode locking' be
just filesystem-internal warts.
I just didn't want to make that conversion when we still had a core user
left.

Patch series "ksm: count allocated rmap_items and update documentation",
v5.
KSM can save memory by merging identical pages, but also can consume
additional memory, because it needs to generate rmap_items to save each
scanned page's brief rmap information.
To determine how beneficial the ksm-policy (like madvise), they are using
brings, so we add a new interface /proc/<pid>/ksm_stat for each process
The value "ksm_rmap_items" in it indicates the total allocated ksm
rmap_items of this process.
The detailed description can be seen in the following patches' commit
message.
This patch (of 2):
KSM can save memory by merging identical pages, but also can consume
additional memory, because it needs to generate rmap_items to save each
scanned page's brief rmap information. Some of these pages may be merged,
but some may not be abled to be merged after being checked several times,
which are unprofitable memory consumed.
The information about whether KSM save memory or consume memory in
system-wide range can be determined by the comprehensive calculation of
pages_sharing, pages_shared, pages_unshared and pages_volatile. A simple
approximate calculation:
profit =~ pages_sharing * sizeof(page) - (all_rmap_items) *
sizeof(rmap_item);
where all_rmap_items equals to the sum of pages_sharing, pages_shared,
pages_unshared and pages_volatile.
But we cannot calculate this kind of ksm profit inner single-process wide
because the information of ksm rmap_item's number of a process is lacked.
For user applications, if this kind of information could be obtained, it
helps upper users know how beneficial the ksm-policy (like madvise) they
are using brings, and then optimize their app code. For example, one
application madvise 1000 pages as MERGEABLE, while only a few pages are
really merged, then it's not cost-efficient.
So we add a new interface /proc/<pid>/ksm_stat for each process in which
the value of ksm_rmap_itmes is only shown now and so more values can be
added in future.
So similarly, we can calculate the ksm profit approximately for a single
process by:
profit =~ ksm_merging_pages * sizeof(page) - ksm_rmap_items *
sizeof(rmap_item);
where ksm_merging_pages is shown at /proc/<pid>/ksm_merging_pages, and
ksm_rmap_items is shown in /proc/<pid>/ksm_stat.

Commit 7bc3e6e55a ("proc: Use a list of inodes to flush from proc")
moved proc_flush_task() behind __exit_signal(). Then, process systemd can
take long period high cpu usage during releasing task in following
concurrent processes:
systemd ps
kernel_waitid stat(/proc/tgid)
do_wait filename_lookup
wait_consider_task lookup_fast
release_task
__exit_signal
__unhash_process
detach_pid
__change_pid // remove task->pid_links
d_revalidate -> pid_revalidate // 0
d_invalidate(/proc/tgid)
shrink_dcache_parent(/proc/tgid)
d_walk(/proc/tgid)
spin_lock_nested(/proc/tgid/fd)
// iterating opened fd
proc_flush_pid |
d_invalidate (/proc/tgid/fd) |
shrink_dcache_parent(/proc/tgid/fd) |
shrink_dentry_list(subdirs) ↓
shrink_lock_dentry(/proc/tgid/fd) --> race on dentry lock
Function d_invalidate() will remove dentry from hash firstly, but why does
proc_flush_pid() process dentry '/proc/tgid/fd' before dentry
'/proc/tgid'? That's because proc_pid_make_inode() adds proc inode in
reverse order by invoking hlist_add_head_rcu(). But proc should not add
any inodes under '/proc/tgid' except '/proc/tgid/task/pid', fix it by
adding inode into 'pid->inodes' only if the inode is /proc/tgid or
/proc/tgid/task/pid.
Performance regression:
Create 200 tasks, each task open one file for 50,000 times. Kill all
tasks when opened files exceed 10,000,000 (cat /proc/sys/fs/file-nr).
Before fix:
$ time killall -wq aa
real 4m40.946s # During this period, we can see 'ps' and 'systemd'
taking high cpu usage.
After fix:
$ time killall -wq aa
real 1m20.732s # During this period, we can see 'systemd' taking
high cpu usage.

Some applications or containers want to use KSM by calling madvise() to
advise areas of address space to be MERGEABLE. But they may not know
which applications are more likely to cause real merges in the
deployment. If this patch is applied, it helps them know their
corresponding number of merged pages, and then optimize their app code.
As current KSM only counts the number of KSM merging pages(e.g.
ksm_pages_sharing and ksm_pages_shared) of the whole system, we cannot see
the more fine-grained KSM merging, for the upper application optimization,
the merging area cannot be set easily according to the KSM page merging
probability of each process. Therefore, it is necessary to add extra
statistical means so that the upper level users can know the detailed KSM
merging information of each process.
We add a new proc file named as ksm_merging_pages under /proc/<pid>/ to
indicate the involved ksm merging pages of this process.

This set of changes removes tracehook.h, moves modification of all of
the ptrace fields inside of siglock to remove races, adds a missing
permission check to ptrace.c
The removal of tracehook.h is quite significant as it has been a major
source of confusion in recent years. Much of that confusion was
around task_work and TIF_NOTIFY_SIGNAL (which I have now decoupled
making the semantics clearer).
For people who don't know tracehook.h is a vestiage of an attempt to
implement uprobes like functionality that was never fully merged, and
was later superseeded by uprobes when uprobes was merged. For many
years now we have been removing what tracehook functionaly a little
bit at a time. To the point where now anything left in tracehook.h is
some weird strange thing that is difficult to understand.

It's not a standard approach that use __get_free_page() to alloc path
buffer directly. We'd better use kmalloc and PATH_MAX.
PAGE_SIZE is different on different archs. An unlinked file
with very long canonical pathname will readlink differently
because "(deleted)" eats into a buffer. --adobriyan

Problem Description:
When running running ~128 parallel instances of
TZ=/etc/localtime ps -fe >/dev/null
on a 128CPU machine, the %sys utilization reaches 97%, and perf shows
the following code path as being responsible for heavy contention on the
d_lockref spinlock:
walk_component()
lookup_fast()
d_revalidate()
pid_revalidate() // returns -ECHILD
unlazy_child()
lockref_get_not_dead(&nd->path.dentry->d_lockref) <-- contention
The reason is that pid_revalidate() is triggering a drop from RCU to ref
path walk mode. All concurrent path lookups thus try to grab a
reference to the dentry for /proc/, before re-executing pid_revalidate()
and then stepping into the /proc/$pid directory. Thus there is huge
spinlock contention.
This patch allows pid_revalidate() to execute in RCU mode, meaning that
the path lookup can successfully enter the /proc/$pid directory while
still in RCU mode. Later on, the path lookup may still drop into ref
mode, but the contention will be much reduced at this point.
By applying this patch, %sys utilization falls to around 85% under the
same workload, and the number of ps processes executed per unit time
increases by 3x-4x. Although this particular workload is a bit
contrived, we have seen some large collections of eager monitoring
scripts which produced similarly high %sys time due to contention in the
/proc directory.
As a result this patch, Al noted that several procfs methods which were
only called in ref-walk mode could now be called from RCU mode. To
ensure that this patch is safe, I audited all the inode get_link and
permission() implementations, as well as dentry d_revalidate()
implementations, in fs/proc. The purpose here is to ensure that they
either are safe to call in RCU (i.e. don't sleep) or correctly bail out
of RCU mode if they don't support it. My analysis shows that all
at-risk procfs methods are safe to call under RCU, and thus this patch
is safe.
Procfs RCU-walk Analysis:
This analysis is up-to-date with 5.15-rc3. When called under RCU mode,
these functions have arguments as follows:
* get_link() receives a NULL dentry pointer when called in RCU mode.
* permission() receives MAY_NOT_BLOCK in the mode parameter when called
from RCU.
* d_revalidate() receives LOOKUP_RCU in flags.
For the following functions, either they are trivially RCU safe, or they
explicitly bail at the beginning of the function when they run:
proc_ns_get_link (bails out)
proc_get_link (RCU safe)
proc_pid_get_link (bails out)
map_files_d_revalidate (bails out)
map_misc_d_revalidate (bails out)
proc_net_d_revalidate (RCU safe)
proc_sys_revalidate (bails out, also not under /proc/$pid)
tid_fd_revalidate (bails out)
proc_sys_permission (not under /proc/$pid)
The remainder of the functions require a bit more detail:
* proc_fd_permission: RCU safe. All of the body of this function is
under rcu_read_lock(), except generic_permission() which declares
itself RCU safe in its documentation string.
* proc_self_get_link uses GFP_ATOMIC in the RCU case, so it is RCU aware
and otherwise looks safe. The same is true of proc_thread_self_get_link.
* proc_map_files_get_link: calls ns_capable, which calls capable(), and
thus calls into the audit code (see note #1 below). The remainder is
just a call to the trivially safe proc_pid_get_link().
* proc_pid_permission: calls ptrace_may_access(), which appears RCU
safe, although it does call into the "security_ptrace_access_check()"
hook, which looks safe under smack and selinux. Just the audit code is
of concern. Also uses get_task_struct() and put_task_struct(), see
note #2 below.
* proc_tid_comm_permission: Appears safe, though calls put_task_struct
(see note #2 below).
Note #1:
Most of the concern of RCU safety has centered around the audit code.
However, since b17ec22fb3 ("selinux: slow_avc_audit has become
non-blocking"), it's safe to call this code under RCU. So all of the
above are safe by my estimation.
Note #2: get_task_struct() and put_task_struct():
The majority of get_task_struct() is under RCU read lock, and in any
case it is a simple increment. But put_task_struct() is complex, given
that it could at some point free the task struct, and this process has
many steps which I couldn't manually verify. However, several other
places call put_task_struct() under RCU, so it appears safe to use
here too (see kernel/hung_task.c:165 or rcu/tree-stall.h:296)
Patch description:
pid_revalidate() drops from RCU into REF lookup mode. When many threads
are resolving paths within /proc in parallel, this can result in heavy
spinlock contention on d_lockref as each thread tries to grab a
reference to the /proc dentry (and drop it shortly thereafter).
Investigation indicates that it is not necessary to drop RCU in
pid_revalidate(), as no RCU data is modified and the function never
sleeps. So, remove the LOOKUP_RCU check.

Android captures per-process system memory state when certain low memory
events (e.g a foreground app kill) occur, to identify potential memory
hoggers. In order to measure how much memory a process actually consumes,
it is necessary to include the DMA buffer sizes for that process in the
memory accounting. Since the handle to DMA buffers are raw FDs, it is
important to be able to identify which processes have FD references to a
DMA buffer.
Currently, DMA buffer FDs can be accounted using /proc/<pid>/fd/* and
/proc/<pid>/fdinfo -- both are only readable by the process owner, as
follows:
1. Do a readlink on each FD.
2. If the target path begins with "/dmabuf", then the FD is a dmabuf FD.
3. stat the file to get the dmabuf inode number.
4. Read/ proc/<pid>/fdinfo/<fd>, to get the DMA buffer size.
Accessing other processes' fdinfo requires root privileges. This limits
the use of the interface to debugging environments and is not suitable for
production builds. Granting root privileges even to a system process
increases the attack surface and is highly undesirable.
Since fdinfo doesn't permit reading process memory and manipulating
process state, allow accessing fdinfo under PTRACE_MODE_READ_FSCRED.

Use size_t when capping the count argument received by mem_rw(). Since
count is size_t, using min_t(int, ...) can lead to a negative value
that will later be passed to access_remote_vm(), which can cause
unexpected behavior.
Since we are capping the value to at maximum PAGE_SIZE, the conversion
from size_t to int when passing it to access_remote_vm() as "len"
shouldn't be a problem.

Commit 591a22c14d ("proc: Track /proc/$pid/attr/ opener mm_struct") we
started using __mem_open() to track the mm_struct at open-time, so that
we could then check it for writes.
But that also ended up making the permission checks at open time much
stricter - and not just for writes, but for reads too. And that in turn
caused a regression for at least Fedora 29, where NIC interfaces fail to
start when using NetworkManager.
Since only the write side wanted the mm_struct test, ignore any failures
by __mem_open() at open time, leaving reads unaffected. The write()
time verification of the mm_struct pointer will then catch the failure
case because a NULL pointer will not match a valid 'current->mm'.

Commit bfb819ea20 ("proc: Check /proc/$pid/attr/ writes against file opener")
tried to make sure that there could not be a confusion between the opener of
a /proc/$pid/attr/ file and the writer. It used struct cred to make sure
the privileges didn't change. However, there were existing cases where a more
privileged thread was passing the opened fd to a differently privileged thread
(during container setup). Instead, use mm_struct to track whether the opener
and writer are still the same process. (This is what several other proc files
already do, though for different reasons.)

Fix another "confused deputy" weakness[1]. Writes to /proc/$pid/attr/
files need to check the opener credentials, since these fds do not
transition state across execve(). Without this, it is possible to
trick another process (which may have different credentials) to write
to its own /proc/$pid/attr/ files, leading to unexpected and possibly
exploitable behaviors.

Extend some inode methods with an additional user namespace argument. A
filesystem that is aware of idmapped mounts will receive the user
namespace the mount has been marked with. This can be used for
additional permission checking and also to enable filesystems to
translate between uids and gids if they need to. We have implemented all
relevant helpers in earlier patches.
As requested we simply extend the exisiting inode method instead of
introducing new ones. This is a little more code churn but it's mostly
mechanical and doesnt't leave us with additional inode methods.

The generic_fillattr() helper fills in the basic attributes associated
with an inode. Enable it to handle idmapped mounts. If the inode is
accessed through an idmapped mount map it into the mount's user
namespace before we store the uid and gid. If the initial user namespace
is passed nothing changes so non-idmapped mounts will see identical
behavior as before.
