kernel/panic.c: add TAINT_AUX
This is the gist of a patch which we've been forward-porting in our kernels for a long time now and it probably would make a good sense to have such TAINT_AUX flag upstream which can be used by each distro etc, how they see fit. This way, we won't need to forward-port a distro-only version indefinitely. Add an auxiliary taint flag to be used by distros and others. This obviates the need to forward-port whatever internal solutions people have in favor of a single flag which they can map arbitrarily to a definition of their pleasing. The "X" mnemonic could also mean eXternal, which would be taint from a distro or something else but not the upstream kernel. We will use it to mark modules for which we don't provide support. I.e., a really eXternal module.

License cleanup: add SPDX GPL-2.0 license identifier to files with no license
Many source files in the tree are missing licensing information, which makes it harder for compliance tools to determine the correct license. By default all files without license information are under the default license of the kernel, which is GPL version 2. Update the files which contain no license information with the 'GPL-2.0' SPDX license identifier. The SPDX identifier is a legally binding shorthand, which can be used instead of the full boiler plate text. This patch is based on work done by Thomas Gleixner and Kate Stewart and Philippe Ombredanne. How this work was done: Patches were generated and checked against linux-4.14-rc6 for a subset of the use cases: - file had no licensing information it it. - file was a */uapi/* one with no licensing information in it, - file was a */uapi/* one with existing licensing information, Further patches will be generated in subsequent months to fix up cases where non-standard license headers were used, and references to license had to be inferred by heuristics based on keywords. The analysis to determine which SPDX License Identifier to be applied to a file was done in a spreadsheet of side by side results from of the output of two independent scanners (ScanCode & Windriver) producing SPDX tag:value files created by Philippe Ombredanne. Philippe prepared the base worksheet, and did an initial spot review of a few 1000 files. The 4.13 kernel was the starting point of the analysis with 60,537 files assessed. Kate Stewart did a file by file comparison of the scanner results in the spreadsheet to determine which SPDX license identifier(s) to be applied to the file. She confirmed any determination that was not immediately clear with lawyers working with the Linux Foundation. Criteria used to select files for SPDX license identifier tagging was: - Files considered eligible had to be source code files. - Make and config files were included as candidates if they contained >5 lines of source - File already had some variant of a license header in it (even if <5 lines). All documentation files were explicitly excluded. The following heuristics were used to determine which SPDX license identifiers to apply. - when both scanners couldn't find any license traces, file was considered to have no license information in it, and the top level COPYING file license applied. For non */uapi/* files that summary was: SPDX license identifier # files ---------------------------------------------------|------- GPL-2.0 11139 and resulted in the first patch in this series. If that file was a */uapi/* path one, it was "GPL-2.0 WITH Linux-syscall-note" otherwise it was "GPL-2.0". Results of that was: SPDX license identifier # files ---------------------------------------------------|------- GPL-2.0 WITH Linux-syscall-note 930 and resulted in the second patch in this series. - if a file had some form of licensing information in it, and was one of the */uapi/* ones, it was denoted with the Linux-syscall-note if any GPL family license was found in the file or had no licensing in it (per prior point). Results summary: SPDX license identifier # files ---------------------------------------------------|------ GPL-2.0 WITH Linux-syscall-note 270 GPL-2.0+ WITH Linux-syscall-note 169 ((GPL-2.0 WITH Linux-syscall-note) OR BSD-2-Clause) 21 ((GPL-2.0 WITH Linux-syscall-note) OR BSD-3-Clause) 17 LGPL-2.1+ WITH Linux-syscall-note 15 GPL-1.0+ WITH Linux-syscall-note 14 ((GPL-2.0+ WITH Linux-syscall-note) OR BSD-3-Clause) 5 LGPL-2.0+ WITH Linux-syscall-note 4 LGPL-2.1 WITH Linux-syscall-note 3 ((GPL-2.0 WITH Linux-syscall-note) OR MIT) 3 ((GPL-2.0 WITH Linux-syscall-note) AND MIT) 1 and that resulted in the third patch in this series. - when the two scanners agreed on the detected license(s), that became the concluded license(s). - when there was disagreement between the two scanners (one detected a license but the other didn't, or they both detected different licenses) a manual inspection of the file occurred. - In most cases a manual inspection of the information in the file resulted in a clear resolution of the license that should apply (and which scanner probably needed to revisit its heuristics). - When it was not immediately clear, the license identifier was confirmed with lawyers working with the Linux Foundation. - If there was any question as to the appropriate license identifier, the file was flagged for further research and to be revisited later in time. In total, over 70 hours of logged manual review was done on the spreadsheet to determine the SPDX license identifiers to apply to the source files by Kate, Philippe, Thomas and, in some cases, confirmation by lawyers working with the Linux Foundation. Kate also obtained a third independent scan of the 4.13 code base from FOSSology, and compared selected files where the other two scanners disagreed against that SPDX file, to see if there was new insights. The Windriver scanner is based on an older version of FOSSology in part, so they are related. Thomas did random spot checks in about 500 files from the spreadsheets for the uapi headers and agreed with SPDX license identifier in the files he inspected. For the non-uapi files Thomas did random spot checks in about 15000 files. In initial set of patches against 4.14-rc6, 3 files were found to have copy/paste license identifier errors, and have been fixed to reflect the correct identifier. Additionally Philippe spent 10 hours this week doing a detailed manual inspection and review of the 12,461 patched files from the initial patch version early this week with: - a full scancode scan run, collecting the matched texts, detected license ids and scores - reviewing anything where there was a license detected (about 500+ files) to ensure that the applied SPDX license was correct - reviewing anything where there was no detection but the patch license was not GPL-2.0 WITH Linux-syscall-note to ensure that the applied SPDX license was correct This produced a worksheet with 20 files needing minor correction. This worksheet was then exported into 3 different .csv files for the different types of files to be modified. These .csv files were then reviewed by Greg. Thomas wrote a script to parse the csv files and add the proper SPDX tag to the file, in the format that the file expected. This script was further refined by Greg based on the output to detect more types of files automatically and to distinguish between header and source .c files (which need different comment types.) Finally Greg ran the script using the .csv files to generate the patches.

locking/refcounts, x86/asm: Implement fast refcount overflow protection
This implements refcount_t overflow protection on x86 without a noticeable performance impact, though without the fuller checking of REFCOUNT_FULL. This is done by duplicating the existing atomic_t refcount implementation but with normally a single instruction added to detect if the refcount has gone negative (e.g. wrapped past INT_MAX or below zero). When detected, the handler saturates the refcount_t to INT_MIN / 2. With this overflow protection, the erroneous reference release that would follow a wrap back to zero is blocked from happening, avoiding the class of refcount-overflow use-after-free vulnerabilities entirely. Only the overflow case of refcounting can be perfectly protected, since it can be detected and stopped before the reference is freed and left to be abused by an attacker. There isn't a way to block early decrements, and while REFCOUNT_FULL stops increment-from-zero cases (which would be the state _after_ an early decrement and stops potential double-free conditions), this fast implementation does not, since it would require the more expensive cmpxchg loops. Since the overflow case is much more common (e.g. missing a "put" during an error path), this protection provides real-world protection. For example, the two public refcount overflow use-after-free exploits published in 2016 would have been rendered unexploitable: http://perception-point.io/2016/01/14/analysis-and-exploitation-of-a-linux-kernel-vulnerability-cve-2016-0728/ http://cyseclabs.com/page?n=02012016 This implementation does, however, notice an unchecked decrement to zero (i.e. caller used refcount_dec() instead of refcount_dec_and_test() and it resulted in a zero). Decrements under zero are noticed (since they will have resulted in a negative value), though this only indicates that a use-after-free may have already happened. Such notifications are likely avoidable by an attacker that has already exploited a use-after-free vulnerability, but it's better to have them reported than allow such conditions to remain universally silent. On first overflow detection, the refcount value is reset to INT_MIN / 2 (which serves as a saturation value) and a report and stack trace are produced. When operations detect only negative value results (such as changing an already saturated value), saturation still happens but no notification is performed (since the value was already saturated). On the matter of races, since the entire range beyond INT_MAX but before 0 is negative, every operation at INT_MIN / 2 will trap, leaving no overflow-only race condition. As for performance, this implementation adds a single "js" instruction to the regular execution flow of a copy of the standard atomic_t refcount operations. (The non-"and_test" refcount_dec() function, which is uncommon in regular refcount design patterns, has an additional "jz" instruction to detect reaching exactly zero.) Since this is a forward jump, it is by default the non-predicted path, which will be reinforced by dynamic branch prediction. The result is this protection having virtually no measurable change in performance over standard atomic_t operations. The error path, located in .text.unlikely, saves the refcount location and then uses UD0 to fire a refcount exception handler, which resets the refcount, handles reporting, and returns to regular execution. This keeps the changes to .text size minimal, avoiding return jumps and open-coded calls to the error reporting routine. Example assembly comparison: refcount_inc() before: .text: ffffffff81546149: f0 ff 45 f4 lock incl -0xc(%rbp) refcount_inc() after: .text: ffffffff81546149: f0 ff 45 f4 lock incl -0xc(%rbp) ffffffff8154614d: 0f 88 80 d5 17 00 js ffffffff816c36d3 ... .text.unlikely: ffffffff816c36d3: 48 8d 4d f4 lea -0xc(%rbp),%rcx ffffffff816c36d7: 0f ff (bad) These are the cycle counts comparing a loop of refcount_inc() from 1 to INT_MAX and back down to 0 (via refcount_dec_and_test()), between unprotected refcount_t (atomic_t), fully protected REFCOUNT_FULL (refcount_t-full), and this overflow-protected refcount (refcount_t-fast): 2147483646 refcount_inc()s and 2147483647 refcount_dec_and_test()s: cycles protections atomic_t 82249267387 none refcount_t-fast 82211446892 overflow, untested dec-to-zero refcount_t-full 144814735193 overflow, untested dec-to-zero, inc-from-zero This code is a modified version of the x86 PAX_REFCOUNT atomic_t overflow defense from the last public patch of PaX/grsecurity, based on my understanding of the code. Changes or omissions from the original code are mine and don't reflect the original grsecurity/PaX code. Thanks to PaX Team for various suggestions for improvement for repurposing this code to be a refcount-only protection.

kernel.h: handle pointers to arrays better in container_of()
If the first parameter of container_of() is a pointer to a
non-const-qualified array type (and the third parameter names a
non-const-qualified array member), the local variable __mptr will be
defined with a const-qualified array type. In ISO C, these types are
incompatible. They work as expected in GNU C, but some versions will
issue warnings. For example, GCC 4.9 produces the warning
"initialization from incompatible pointer type".
Here is an example of where the problem occurs:
-------------------------------------------------------
#include <linux/kernel.h>
#include <linux/module.h>
MODULE_LICENSE("GPL");
struct st {
int a;
char b[16];
};
static int __init example_init(void) {
struct st t = { .a = 101, .b = "hello" };
char (*p)[16] = &t.b;
struct st *x = container_of(p, struct st, b);
printk(KERN_DEBUG "%p %p\n", (void *)&t, (void *)x);
return 0;
}
static void __exit example_exit(void) {
}
module_init(example_init);
module_exit(example_exit);
-------------------------------------------------------
Building the module with gcc-4.9 results in these warnings (where '{m}'
is the module source and '{k}' is the kernel source):
-------------------------------------------------------
In file included from {m}/example.c:1:0:
{m}/example.c: In function `example_init':
{k}/include/linux/kernel.h:854:48: warning: initialization from incompatible pointer type
const typeof( ((type *)0)->member ) *__mptr = (ptr); \
^
{m}/example.c:14:17: note: in expansion of macro `container_of'
struct st *x = container_of(p, struct st, b);
^
{k}/include/linux/kernel.h:854:48: warning: (near initialization for `x')
const typeof( ((type *)0)->member ) *__mptr = (ptr); \
^
{m}/example.c:14:17: note: in expansion of macro `container_of'
struct st *x = container_of(p, struct st, b);
^
-------------------------------------------------------
Replace the type checking performed by the macro to avoid these
warnings. Make sure `*(ptr)` either has type compatible with the
member, or has type compatible with `void`, ignoring qualifiers. Raise
compiler errors if this is not true. This is stronger than the previous
behaviour, which only resulted in compiler warnings for a type mismatch.

init: Introduce SYSTEM_SCHEDULING state
might_sleep() debugging and smp_processor_id() debugging should be active right after the scheduler starts working. The init task can invoke smp_processor_id() from preemptible context as it is pinned on the boot cpu until sched_smp_init() removes the pinning and lets it schedule on all non isolated cpus. Add a new state which allows to enable those checks earlier and add it to the xen do_poweroff() function. No functional change.

Modules updates for v4.10
Summary of modules changes for the 4.10 merge window:
* The rodata= cmdline parameter has been extended to additionally
apply to module mappings
* Fix a hard to hit race between module loader error/clean up
handling and ftrace registration
* Some code cleanups, notably panic.c and modules code use a
unified taint_flags table now. This is much cleaner than
duplicating the taint flag code in modules.c

percpu: ensure the requested alignment is power of two
The percpu allocator expectedly assumes that the requested alignment is power of two but hasn't been veryfing the input. If the specified alignment isn't power of two, the allocator can malfunction. Add the sanity check. The following is detailed analysis of the effects of alignments which aren't power of two. The alignment must be a even at least since the LSB of a chunk->map element is used as free/in-use flag of a area; besides, the alignment must be a power of 2 too since ALIGN() doesn't work well for other alignment always but is adopted by pcpu_fit_in_area(). IOW, the current allocator only works well for a power of 2 aligned area allocation. See below opposite example for why an odd alignment doesn't work. Let's assume area [16, 36) is free but its previous one is in-use, we want to allocate a @size == 8 and @align == 7 area. The larger area [16, 36) is split to three areas [16, 21), [21, 29), [29, 36) eventually. However, due to the usage for a chunk->map element, the actual offset of the aim area [21, 29) is 21 but is recorded in relevant element as 20; moreover, the residual tail free area [29, 36) is mistook as in-use and is lost silently Unlike macro roundup(), ALIGN(x, a) doesn't work if @a isn't a power of 2 for example, roundup(10, 6) == 12 but ALIGN(10, 6) == 10, and the latter result isn't desired obviously. tj: Code style and patch description updates.

min/max: remove sparse warnings when they're nested
Currently, when min/max are nested within themselves, sparse will warn:
warning: symbol '_min1' shadows an earlier one
originally declared here
warning: symbol '_min1' shadows an earlier one
originally declared here
warning: symbol '_min2' shadows an earlier one
originally declared here
This also immediately happens when min3() or max3() are used.
Since sparse implements __COUNTER__, we can use __UNIQUE_ID() to
generate unique variable names, avoiding this.

sched/core: Optimize __schedule()
Oleg noted that by making do_exit() use __schedule() for the TASK_DEAD context switch, we can avoid the TASK_DEAD special case currently in __schedule() because that avoids the extra preempt_disable() from schedule(). In order to facilitate this, create a do_task_dead() helper which we place in the scheduler code, such that it can access __schedule(). Also add some __noreturn annotations to the functions, there's no coming back from do_exit().

rcu: sysctl: Panic on RCU Stall
It is not always easy to determine the cause of an RCU stall just by analysing the RCU stall messages, mainly when the problem is caused by the indirect starvation of rcu threads. For example, when preempt_rcu is not awakened due to the starvation of a timer softirq. We have been hard coding panic() in the RCU stall functions for some time while testing the kernel-rt. But this is not possible in some scenarios, like when supporting customers. This patch implements the sysctl kernel.panic_on_rcu_stall. If set to 1, the system will panic() when an RCU stall takes place, enabling the capture of a vmcore. The vmcore provides a way to analyze all kernel/tasks states, helping out to point to the culprit and the solution for the stall. The kernel.panic_on_rcu_stall sysctl is disabled by default. Changes from v1: - Fixed a typo in the git log - The if(sysctl_panic_on_rcu_stall) panic() is in a static function - Fixed the CONFIG_TINY_RCU compilation issue - The var sysctl_panic_on_rcu_stall is now __read_mostly Cc: Jonathan Corbet <corbet@lwn.net> Cc: "Paul E.

include/linux: apply __malloc attribute
Attach the malloc attribute to a few allocation functions. This helps
gcc generate better code by telling it that the return value doesn't
alias any existing pointers (which is even more valuable given the
pessimizations implied by -fno-strict-aliasing).
A simple example of what this allows gcc to do can be seen by looking at
the last part of drm_atomic_helper_plane_reset:
plane->state = kzalloc(sizeof(*plane->state), GFP_KERNEL);
if (plane->state) {
plane->state->plane = plane;
plane->state->rotation = BIT(DRM_ROTATE_0);
}
which compiles to
e8 99 bf d6 ff callq ffffffff8116d540 <kmem_cache_alloc_trace>
48 85 c0 test %rax,%rax
48 89 83 40 02 00 00 mov %rax,0x240(%rbx)
74 11 je ffffffff814015c4 <drm_atomic_helper_plane_reset+0x64>

c7 40 40 01 00 00 00 movl $0x1,0x40(%rax)
With this patch applied, the instruction at [*] is elided, since the
store to plane->state->plane is known to not alter the value of
plane->state.

Infrastructure code has been added to allow for a new histogram
feature for recording live trace event histograms that can be

tracing: Fix trace_printk() to print when not using bprintk()
The trace_printk() code will allocate extra buffers if the compile detects
that a trace_printk() is used. To do this, the format of the trace_printk()
is saved to the __trace_printk_fmt section, and if that section is bigger
than zero, the buffers are allocated (along with a message that this has
happened).
If trace_printk() uses a format that is not a constant, and thus something
not guaranteed to be around when the print happens, the compiler optimizes
the fmt out, as it is not used, and the __trace_printk_fmt section is not
filled. This means the kernel will not allocate the special buffers needed
for the trace_printk() and the trace_printk() will not write anything to the
tracing buffer.
Adding a "__used" to the variable in the __trace_printk_fmt section will
keep it around, even though it is set to NULL. This will keep the string
from being printed in the debugfs/tracing/printk_formats section as it is
not needed.

include/linux/kernel.h: change abs() macro so it uses consistent return type
Rewrite abs() so that its return type does not depend on the
architecture and no unexpected type conversion happen inside of it. The
only conversion is from unsigned to signed type. char is left as a
return type but treated as a signed type regradless of it's actual
signedness.
With the old version, int arguments were promoted to long and depending
on architecture a long argument might result in s64 or long return type
(which may or may not be the same).
This came after some back and forth with Nicolas. The current macro has
different return type (for the same input type) depending on
architecture which might be midly iritating.
An alternative version would promote to int like so:
#define abs(x) __abs_choose_expr(x, long long, \
__abs_choose_expr(x, long, \
__builtin_choose_expr( \
sizeof(x) <= sizeof(int), \
({ int __x = (x); __x<0?-__x:__x; }), \
((void)0))))
I have no preference but imagine Linus might. :] Nicolas argument against
is that promoting to int causes iconsistent behaviour:
int main(void) {
unsigned short a = 0, b = 1, c = a - b;
unsigned short d = abs(a - b);
unsigned short e = abs(c);
printf("%u %u\n", d, e); // prints: 1 65535
}
Then again, no sane person expects consistent behaviour from C integer
arithmetic. ;)
Note:
__builtin_types_compatible_p(unsigned char, char) is always false, and
__builtin_types_compatible_p(signed char, char) is also always false.

panic, x86: Allow CPUs to save registers even if looping in NMI context
Currently, kdump_nmi_shootdown_cpus(), a subroutine of crash_kexec(),
sends an NMI IPI to CPUs which haven't called panic() to stop them,
save their register information and do some cleanups for crash dumping.
However, if such a CPU is infinitely looping in NMI context, we fail to
save its register information into the crash dump.
For example, this can happen when unknown NMIs are broadcast to all
CPUs as follows:
CPU 0 CPU 1
=========================== ==========================
receive an unknown NMI
unknown_nmi_error()
panic() receive an unknown NMI
spin_trylock(&panic_lock) unknown_nmi_error()
crash_kexec() panic()
spin_trylock(&panic_lock)
panic_smp_self_stop()
infinite loop
kdump_nmi_shootdown_cpus()
issue NMI IPI -----------> blocked until IRET
infinite loop...
Here, since CPU 1 is in NMI context, the second NMI from CPU 0 is
blocked until CPU 1 executes IRET. However, CPU 1 never executes IRET,
so the NMI is not handled and the callback function to save registers is
never called.
In practice, this can happen on some servers which broadcast NMIs to all
CPUs when the NMI button is pushed.
To save registers in this case, we need to:
a) Return from NMI handler instead of looping infinitely
or
b) Call the callback function directly from the infinite loop
Inherently, a) is risky because NMI is also used to prevent corrupted
data from being propagated to devices. So, we chose b).
This patch does the following:
1. Move the infinite looping of CPUs which haven't called panic() in NMI
context (actually done by panic_smp_self_stop()) outside of panic() to
enable us to refer pt_regs. Please note that panic_smp_self_stop() is
still used for normal context.
2. Call a callback of kdump_nmi_shootdown_cpus() directly to save
registers and do some cleanups after setting waiting_for_crash_ipi which
is used for counting down the number of CPUs which handled the callback

panic, x86: Fix re-entrance problem due to panic on NMI
If panic on NMI happens just after panic() on the same CPU, panic() is recursively called. Kernel stalls, as a result, after failing to acquire panic_lock. To avoid this problem, don't call panic() in NMI context if we've already entered panic(). For that, introduce nmi_panic() macro to reduce code duplication. In the case of panic on NMI, don't return from NMI handlers if another CPU already panicked.

kernel.h: make abs() work with 64-bit types
For 64-bit arguments, the abs macro casts it to an int which leads to
lost precision and may cause incorrect results. To deal with 64-bit
types abs64 macro has been introduced but still there are places where
abs macro is used incorrectly.
To deal with the problem, expand abs macro such that it operates on s64
type when dealing with 64-bit types while still returning long when
dealing with smaller types.
This fixes one known bug (per John):
The internal clocksteering done for fine-grained error correction uses a
: logarithmic approximation, so any time adjtimex() adjusts the clock
: steering, timekeeping_freqadjust() quickly approximates the correct clock
: frequency over a series of ticks.

lib/kasprintf.c: introduce kvasprintf_const
This adds kvasprintf_const which tries to use kstrdup_const if possible: If the format string contains no % characters, or if the format string is exactly "%s", we delegate to kstrdup_const. Otherwise, we fall back to kvasprintf. Just as for kstrdup_const, the main motivation is to save memory by reusing .rodata when possible. The return value should be freed by kfree_const, just like for kstrdup_const. There is deliberately no kasprintf_const: In the vast majority of cases, the format string argument is a literal, so one can determine statically whether one could instead use kstrdup_const directly (which would also require one to change all corresponding kfree calls to kfree_const).

Minor merge needed, due to function move.
Main excitement here is Peter Zijlstra's lockless rbtree optimization to
speed module address lookup. He found some abusers of the module lock
doing that too.
A little bit of parameter work here too; including Dan Streetman's breaking
up the big param mutex so writing a parameter can load another module (yeah,
really). Unfortunately that broke the usual suspects, !CONFIG_MODULES and
!CONFIG_SYSFS, so those fixes were appended too.
Cheers,

This patch series contains several clean ups and even a new trace clock
"monitonic raw". Also some enhancements to make the ring buffer even
faster. But the biggest and most noticeable change is the renaming of
the ftrace* files, structures and variables that have to deal with
trace events.
Over the years I've had several developers tell me about their confusion
with what ftrace is compared to events. Technically, "ftrace" is the
infrastructure to do the function hooks, which include tracing and also
helps with live kernel patching. But the trace events are a separate
entity altogether, and the files that affect the trace events should
not be named "ftrace". These include:
include/trace/ftrace.h -> include/trace/trace_events.h
include/linux/ftrace_event.h -> include/linux/trace_events.h
Also, functions that are specific for trace events have also been renamed:
ftrace_print_*() -> trace_print_*()
(un)register_ftrace_event() -> (un)register_trace_event()
ftrace_event_name() -> trace_event_name()
ftrace_trigger_soft_disabled()-> trace_trigger_soft_disabled()
ftrace_define_fields_##call() -> trace_define_fields_##call()
ftrace_get_offsets_##call() -> trace_get_offsets_##call()
Structures have been renamed:
ftrace_event_file -> trace_event_file
ftrace_event_{call,class} -> trace_event_{call,class}
ftrace_event_buffer -> trace_event_buffer
ftrace_subsystem_dir -> trace_subsystem_dir
ftrace_event_raw_##call -> trace_event_raw_##call
ftrace_event_data_offset_##call-> trace_event_data_offset_##call
ftrace_event_type_funcs_##call -> trace_event_type_funcs_##call
And a few various variables and flags have also been updated.
This has been sitting in linux-next for some time, and I have not heard
a single complaint about this rename breaking anything. Mostly because
these functions, variables and structures are mostly internal to the
tracing system and are seldom (if ever) used by anything external to that.

ring-buffer: Remove useless unused tracing_off_permanent()
The tracing_off_permanent() call is a way to disable all ring_buffers. Nothing uses it and nothing should use it, as tracing_off() and friends are better, as they disable the ring buffers related to tracing. The tracing_off_permanent() even disabled non tracing ring buffers. This is a bit drastic, and was added to handle NMIs doing outputs that could corrupt the ring buffer when only tracing used them. It is now obsolete and adds a little overhead, it should be removed. Signed-off-by: Steven Rostedt <rostedt@goodmis.org> |

sysfs: tightened sysfs permission checks
There were some inconsistency in restriction to VERIFY_OCTAL_PERMISSIONS(). Previously the test was "User perms >= group perms >= other perms". The permission field of User, Group or Other consists of three bits. LSB is EXECUTE permission, MSB is READ permission and the middle bit is WRITE permission. But logically WRITE is "more privileged" than READ. Say for example, permission value is "0430". Here User has only READ permission whereas Group has both WRITE and EXECUTE permission. So, the checks could be tightened and the tests are separated to USER_READABLE >= GROUP_READABLE >= OTHER_READABLE, USER_WRITABLE >= GROUP_WRITABLE and OTHER_WRITABLE is not permitted.

Merge branch 'for-linus' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/jikos/livepatching
Pull live patching infrastructure from Jiri Kosina:
"Let me provide a bit of history first, before describing what is in
this pile.
Originally, there was kSplice as a standalone project that implemented
stop_machine()-based patching for the linux kernel. This project got
later acquired, and the current owner is providing live patching as a
proprietary service, without any intentions to have their
implementation merged.
Then, due to rising user/customer demand, both Red Hat and SUSE
started working on their own implementation (not knowing about each
other), and announced first versions roughly at the same time [1] [2].
The principle difference between the two solutions is how they are
making sure that the patching is performed in a consistent way when it
comes to different execution threads with respect to the semantic
nature of the change that is being introduced.
In a nutshell, kPatch is issuing stop_machine(), then looking at
stacks of all existing processess, and if it decides that the system
is in a state that can be patched safely, it proceeds insterting code
redirection machinery to the patched functions.
On the other hand, kGraft provides a per-thread consistency during one
single pass of a process through the kernel and performs a lazy
contignuous migration of threads from "unpatched" universe to the
"patched" one at safe checkpoints.
If interested in a more detailed discussion about the consistency
models and its possible combinations, please see the thread that
evolved around [3].
It pretty quickly became obvious to the interested parties that it's
absolutely impractical in this case to have several isolated solutions
for one task to co-exist in the kernel. During a dedicated Live
Kernel Patching track at LPC in Dusseldorf, all the interested parties
sat together and came up with a joint aproach that would work for both
distro vendors. Steven Rostedt took notes [4] from this meeting.
And the foundation for that aproach is what's present in this pull
request.
It provides a basic infrastructure for function "live patching" (i.e.
code redirection), including API for kernel modules containing the
actual patches, and API/ABI for userspace to be able to operate on the
patches (look up what patches are applied, enable/disable them, etc).
It's relatively simple and minimalistic, as it's making use of
existing kernel infrastructure (namely ftrace) as much as possible.
It's also self-contained, in a sense that it doesn't hook itself in
any other kernel subsystem (it doesn't even touch any other code).
It's now implemented for x86 only as a reference architecture, but
support for powerpc, s390 and arm is already in the works (adding
arch-specific support basically boils down to teaching ftrace about
regs-saving).
Once this common infrastructure gets merged, both Red Hat and SUSE
have agreed to immediately start porting their current solutions on
top of this, abandoning their out-of-tree code. The plan basically is
that each patch will be marked by flag(s) that would indicate which
consistency model it is willing to use (again, the details have been
sketched out already in the thread at [3]).
Before this happens, the current codebase can be used to patch a large
group of secruity/stability problems the patches for which are not too
complex (in a sense that they don't introduce non-trivial change of
function's return value semantics, they don't change layout of data
structures, etc) -- this corresponds to LEAVE_FUNCTION &&
SWITCH_FUNCTION semantics described at [3].
This tree has been in linux-next since December.

[ The core code is introduced by the three commits authored by Seth
Jennings, which got a lot of changes incorporated during numerous
respins and reviews of the initial implementation. All the followup
commits have materialized only after public tree has been created,
so they were not folded into initial three commits so that the
public tree doesn't get rebased ]"

livepatch: kernel: add TAINT_LIVEPATCH
This adds a new taint flag to indicate when the kernel or a kernel module has been live patched. This will provide a clean indication in bug reports that live patching was used. Additionally, if the crash occurs in a live patched function, the live patch module will appear beside the patched function in the backtrace.
