Rasmus Villemoes e7cb072eb9 init/initramfs.c: do unpacking asynchronously
Patch series "background initramfs unpacking, and CONFIG_MODPROBE_PATH", v3.

These two patches are independent, but better-together.

The second is a rather trivial patch that simply allows the developer to
change "/sbin/modprobe" to something else - e.g.  the empty string, so
that all request_module() during early boot return -ENOENT early, without
even spawning a usermode helper, needlessly synchronizing with the
initramfs unpacking.

The first patch delegates decompressing the initramfs to a worker thread,
allowing do_initcalls() in main.c to proceed to the device_ and late_
initcalls without waiting for that decompression (and populating of
rootfs) to finish.  Obviously, some of those later calls may rely on the
initramfs being available, so I've added synchronization points in the
firmware loader and usermodehelper paths - there might be other places
that would need this, but so far no one has been able to think of any
places I have missed.

There's not much to win if most of the functionality needed during boot is
only available as modules.  But systems with a custom-made .config and
initramfs can boot faster, partly due to utilizing more than one cpu
earlier, partly by avoiding known-futile modprobe calls (which would still
trigger synchronization with the initramfs unpacking, thus eliminating
most of the first benefit).

This patch (of 2):

Most of the boot process doesn't actually need anything from the
initramfs, until of course PID1 is to be executed.  So instead of doing
the decompressing and populating of the initramfs synchronously in
populate_rootfs() itself, push that off to a worker thread.

This is primarily motivated by an embedded ppc target, where unpacking
even the rather modest sized initramfs takes 0.6 seconds, which is long
enough that the external watchdog becomes unhappy that it doesn't get
attention soon enough.  By doing the initramfs decompression in a worker
thread, we get to do the device_initcalls and hence start petting the
watchdog much sooner.

Normal desktops might benefit as well.  On my mostly stock Ubuntu kernel,
my initramfs is a 26M xz-compressed blob, decompressing to around 126M.
That takes almost two seconds:

[    0.201454] Trying to unpack rootfs image as initramfs...
[    1.976633] Freeing initrd memory: 29416K

Before this patch, these lines occur consecutively in dmesg.  With this
patch, the timestamps on these two lines is roughly the same as above, but
with 172 lines inbetween - so more than one cpu has been kept busy doing
work that would otherwise only happen after the populate_rootfs()
finished.

Should one of the initcalls done after rootfs_initcall time (i.e., device_
and late_ initcalls) need something from the initramfs (say, a kernel
module or a firmware blob), it will simply wait for the initramfs
unpacking to be done before proceeding, which should in theory make this
completely safe.

But if some driver pokes around in the filesystem directly and not via one
of the official kernel interfaces (i.e.  request_firmware*(),
call_usermodehelper*) that theory may not hold - also, I certainly might
have missed a spot when sprinkling wait_for_initramfs().  So there is an
escape hatch in the form of an initramfs_async= command line parameter.

Linus Torvalds 9b1f61d5d7 tracing updates for 5.13
New feature:
 
  The "func-no-repeats" option in tracefs/options directory. When set
  the function tracer will detect if the current function being traced
  is the same as the previous one, and instead of recording it, it will
  keep track of the number of times that the function is repeated in a row.
  And when another function is recorded, it will write a new event that
  shows the function that repeated, the number of times it repeated and
  the time stamp of when the last repeated function occurred.
 
 Enhancements:
 
  In order to implement the above "func-no-repeats" option, the ring
  buffer timestamp can now give the accurate timestamp of the event
  as it is being recorded, instead of having to record an absolute
  timestamp for all events. This helps the histogram code which no longer
  needs to waste ring buffer space.
 
  New validation logic to make sure all trace events that access
  dereferenced pointers do so in a safe way, and will warn otherwise.
 
 Fixes:
 
  No longer limit the PIDs of tasks that are recorded for "saved_cmdlines"
  to PID_MAX_DEFAULT (32768), as systemd now allows for a much larger
  range. This caused the mapping of PIDs to the task names to be dropped
  for all tasks with a PID greater than 32768.
 
  Change trace_clock_global() to never block. This caused a deadlock.
 
 Clean ups:
 
  Typos, prototype fixes, and removing of duplicate or unused code.
 
  Better management of ftrace_page allocations.

Nicholas Piggin bbc180a5ad mm: HUGE_VMAP arch support cleanup
This changes the awkward approach where architectures provide init
functions to determine which levels they can provide large mappings for,
to one where the arch is queried for each call.

This removes code and indirection, and allows constant-folding of dead
code for unsupported levels.

This also adds a prot argument to the arch query.  This is unused
currently but could help with some architectures (e.g., some powerpc
processors can't map uncacheable memory with large pages).

Kees Cook 39218ff4c6 stack: Optionally randomize kernel stack offset each syscall
This provides the ability for architectures to enable kernel stack base
address offset randomization. This feature is controlled by the boot
param "randomize_kstack_offset=on/off", with its default value set by
CONFIG_RANDOMIZE_KSTACK_OFFSET_DEFAULT.

This feature is based on the original idea from the last public release
of PaX's RANDKSTACK feature: https://pax.grsecurity.net/docs/randkstack.txt
All the credit for the original idea goes to the PaX team. Note that
the design and implementation of this upstream randomize_kstack_offset
feature differs greatly from the RANDKSTACK feature (see below).

Reasoning for the feature:

This feature aims to make harder the various stack-based attacks that
rely on deterministic stack structure. We have had many such attacks in
past (just to name few):

https://jon.oberheide.org/files/infiltrate12-thestackisback.pdf
https://jon.oberheide.org/files/stackjacking-infiltrate11.pdf
https://googleprojectzero.blogspot.com/2016/06/exploiting-recursion-in-linux-kernel_20.html

As Linux kernel stack protections have been constantly improving
(vmap-based stack allocation with guard pages, removal of thread_info,
STACKLEAK), attackers have had to find new ways for their exploits
to work. They have done so, continuing to rely on the kernel's stack
determinism, in situations where VMAP_STACK and THREAD_INFO_IN_TASK_STRUCT
were not relevant. For example, the following recent attacks would have
been hampered if the stack offset was non-deterministic between syscalls:

https://repositorio-aberto.up.pt/bitstream/10216/125357/2/374717.pdf
(page 70: targeting the pt_regs copy with linear stack overflow)

https://a13xp0p0v.github.io/2020/02/15/CVE-2019-18683.html
(leaked stack address from one syscall as a target during next syscall)

The main idea is that since the stack offset is randomized on each system
call, it is harder for an attack to reliably land in any particular place
on the thread stack, even with address exposures, as the stack base will
change on the next syscall. Also, since randomization is performed after
placing pt_regs, the ptrace-based approach[1] to discover the randomized
offset during a long-running syscall should not be possible.

Design description:

During most of the kernel's execution, it runs on the "thread stack",
which is pretty deterministic in its structure: it is fixed in size,
and on every entry from userspace to kernel on a syscall the thread
stack starts construction from an address fetched from the per-cpu
cpu_current_top_of_stack variable. The first element to be pushed to the
thread stack is the pt_regs struct that stores all required CPU registers
and syscall parameters. Finally the specific syscall function is called,
with the stack being used as the kernel executes the resulting request.

The goal of randomize_kstack_offset feature is to add a random offset
after the pt_regs has been pushed to the stack and before the rest of the
thread stack is used during the syscall processing, and to change it every
time a process issues a syscall. The source of randomness is currently
architecture-defined (but x86 is using the low byte of rdtsc()). Future
improvements for different entropy sources is possible, but out of scope
for this patch. Further more, to add more unpredictability, new offsets
are chosen at the end of syscalls (the timing of which should be less
easy to measure from userspace than at syscall entry time), and stored
in a per-CPU variable, so that the life of the value does not stay
explicitly tied to a single task.

As suggested by Andy Lutomirski, the offset is added using alloca()
and an empty asm() statement with an output constraint, since it avoids
changes to assembly syscall entry code, to the unwinder, and provides
correct stack alignment as defined by the compiler.

In order to make this available by default with zero performance impact
for those that don't want it, it is boot-time selectable with static
branches. This way, if the overhead is not wanted, it can just be
left turned off with no performance impact.

The generated assembly for x86_64 with GCC looks like this:

...
ffffffff81003977: 65 8b 05 02 ea 00 7f  mov %gs:0x7f00ea02(%rip),%eax
					    # 12380 <kstack_offset>
ffffffff8100397e: 25 ff 03 00 00        and $0x3ff,%eax
ffffffff81003983: 48 83 c0 0f           add $0xf,%rax
ffffffff81003987: 25 f8 07 00 00        and $0x7f8,%eax
ffffffff8100398c: 48 29 c4              sub %rax,%rsp
ffffffff8100398f: 48 8d 44 24 0f        lea 0xf(%rsp),%rax
ffffffff81003994: 48 83 e0 f0           and $0xfffffffffffffff0,%rax
...

As a result of the above stack alignment, this patch introduces about
5 bits of randomness after pt_regs is spilled to the thread stack on
x86_64, and 6 bits on x86_32 (since its has 1 fewer bit required for
stack alignment). The amount of entropy could be adjusted based on how
much of the stack space we wish to trade for security.

My measure of syscall performance overhead (on x86_64):

lmbench: /usr/lib/lmbench/bin/x86_64-linux-gnu/lat_syscall -N 10000 null
    randomize_kstack_offset=y	Simple syscall: 0.7082 microseconds
    randomize_kstack_offset=n	Simple syscall: 0.7016 microseconds

So, roughly 0.9% overhead growth for a no-op syscall, which is very
manageable. And for people that don't want this, it's off by default.

There are two gotchas with using the alloca() trick. First,
compilers that have Stack Clash protection (-fstack-clash-protection)
enabled by default (e.g. Ubuntu[3]) add pagesize stack probes to
any dynamic stack allocations. While the randomization offset is
always less than a page, the resulting assembly would still contain
(unreachable!) probing routines, bloating the resulting assembly. To
avoid this, -fno-stack-clash-protection is unconditionally added to
the kernel Makefile since this is the only dynamic stack allocation in
the kernel (now that VLAs have been removed) and it is provably safe
from Stack Clash style attacks.

The second gotcha with alloca() is a negative interaction with
-fstack-protector*, in that it sees the alloca() as an array allocation,
which triggers the unconditional addition of the stack canary function
pre/post-amble which slows down syscalls regardless of the static
branch. In order to avoid adding this unneeded check and its associated
performance impact, architectures need to carefully remove uses of
-fstack-protector-strong (or -fstack-protector) in the compilation units
that use the add_random_kstack() macro and to audit the resulting stack
mitigation coverage (to make sure no desired coverage disappears). No
change is visible for this on x86 because the stack protector is already
unconditionally disabled for the compilation unit, but the change is
required on arm64. There is, unfortunately, no attribute that can be
used to disable stack protector for specific functions.

Comparison to PaX RANDKSTACK feature:

The RANDKSTACK feature randomizes the location of the stack start
(cpu_current_top_of_stack), i.e. including the location of pt_regs
structure itself on the stack. Initially this patch followed the same
approach, but during the recent discussions[2], it has been determined
to be of a little value since, if ptrace functionality is available for
an attacker, they can use PTRACE_PEEKUSR/PTRACE_POKEUSR to read/write
different offsets in the pt_regs struct, observe the cache behavior of
the pt_regs accesses, and figure out the random stack offset. Another
difference is that the random offset is stored in a per-cpu variable,
rather than having it be per-thread. As a result, these implementations
differ a fair bit in their implementation details and results, though
obviously the intent is similar.

Vijayanand Jitta e1fdc40334 lib: stackdepot: add support to disable stack depot
Add a kernel parameter stack_depot_disable to disable stack depot.  So
that stack hash table doesn't consume any memory when stack depot is
disabled.

The use case is CONFIG_PAGE_OWNER without page_owner=on.  Without this
patch, stackdepot will consume the memory for the hashtable.  By default,
it's 8M which is never trivial.

With this option, in CONFIG_PAGE_OWNER configured system, page_owner=off,
stack_depot_disable in kernel command line, we could save the wasted
memory for the hashtable.

Alexander Potapenko 0ce20dd840 mm: add Kernel Electric-Fence infrastructure
Patch series "KFENCE: A low-overhead sampling-based memory safety error detector", v7.

This adds the Kernel Electric-Fence (KFENCE) infrastructure. KFENCE is a
low-overhead sampling-based memory safety error detector of heap
use-after-free, invalid-free, and out-of-bounds access errors.  This
series enables KFENCE for the x86 and arm64 architectures, and adds
KFENCE hooks to the SLAB and SLUB allocators.

KFENCE is designed to be enabled in production kernels, and has near
zero performance overhead. Compared to KASAN, KFENCE trades performance
for precision. The main motivation behind KFENCE's design, is that with
enough total uptime KFENCE will detect bugs in code paths not typically
exercised by non-production test workloads. One way to quickly achieve a
large enough total uptime is when the tool is deployed across a large
fleet of machines.

KFENCE objects each reside on a dedicated page, at either the left or
right page boundaries. The pages to the left and right of the object
page are "guard pages", whose attributes are changed to a protected
state, and cause page faults on any attempted access to them. Such page
faults are then intercepted by KFENCE, which handles the fault
gracefully by reporting a memory access error.

Guarded allocations are set up based on a sample interval (can be set
via kfence.sample_interval). After expiration of the sample interval,
the next allocation through the main allocator (SLAB or SLUB) returns a
guarded allocation from the KFENCE object pool. At this point, the timer
is reset, and the next allocation is set up after the expiration of the
interval.

To enable/disable a KFENCE allocation through the main allocator's
fast-path without overhead, KFENCE relies on static branches via the
static keys infrastructure. The static branch is toggled to redirect the
allocation to KFENCE.

The KFENCE memory pool is of fixed size, and if the pool is exhausted no
further KFENCE allocations occur. The default config is conservative
with only 255 objects, resulting in a pool size of 2 MiB (with 4 KiB
pages).

We have verified by running synthetic benchmarks (sysbench I/O,
hackbench) and production server-workload benchmarks that a kernel with
KFENCE (using sample intervals 100-500ms) is performance-neutral
compared to a non-KFENCE baseline kernel.

KFENCE is inspired by GWP-ASan [1], a userspace tool with similar
properties. The name "KFENCE" is a homage to the Electric Fence Malloc
Debugger [2].

This patch (of 9):

This adds the Kernel Electric-Fence (KFENCE) infrastructure. KFENCE is a
low-overhead sampling-based memory safety error detector of heap
use-after-free, invalid-free, and out-of-bounds access errors.

KFENCE is designed to be enabled in production kernels, and has near
zero performance overhead. Compared to KASAN, KFENCE trades performance
for precision. The main motivation behind KFENCE's design, is that with
enough total uptime KFENCE will detect bugs in code paths not typically
exercised by non-production test workloads. One way to quickly achieve a
large enough total uptime is when the tool is deployed across a large
fleet of machines.

KFENCE objects each reside on a dedicated page, at either the left or
right page boundaries. The pages to the left and right of the object
page are "guard pages", whose attributes are changed to a protected
state, and cause page faults on any attempted access to them. Such page
faults are then intercepted by KFENCE, which handles the fault
gracefully by reporting a memory access error. To detect out-of-bounds
writes to memory within the object's page itself, KFENCE also uses
pattern-based redzones. The following figure illustrates the page
layout:

  ---+-----------+-----------+-----------+-----------+-----------+---
     | xxxxxxxxx | O :       | xxxxxxxxx |       : O | xxxxxxxxx |
     | xxxxxxxxx | B :       | xxxxxxxxx |       : B | xxxxxxxxx |
     | x GUARD x | J : RED-  | x GUARD x | RED-  : J | x GUARD x |
     | xxxxxxxxx | E :  ZONE | xxxxxxxxx |  ZONE : E | xxxxxxxxx |
     | xxxxxxxxx | C :       | xxxxxxxxx |       : C | xxxxxxxxx |
     | xxxxxxxxx | T :       | xxxxxxxxx |       : T | xxxxxxxxx |
  ---+-----------+-----------+-----------+-----------+-----------+---

Guarded allocations are set up based on a sample interval (can be set
via kfence.sample_interval). After expiration of the sample interval, a
guarded allocation from the KFENCE object pool is returned to the main
allocator (SLAB or SLUB). At this point, the timer is reset, and the
next allocation is set up after the expiration of the interval.

To enable/disable a KFENCE allocation through the main allocator's
fast-path without overhead, KFENCE relies on static branches via the
static keys infrastructure. The static branch is toggled to redirect the
allocation to KFENCE. To date, we have verified by running synthetic
benchmarks (sysbench I/O, hackbench) that a kernel compiled with KFENCE
is performance-neutral compared to the non-KFENCE baseline.

For more details, see Documentation/dev-tools/kfence.rst (added later in
the series).

Johannes Berg 55b6f763d8 init/gcov: allow CONFIG_CONSTRUCTORS on UML to fix module gcov
On ARCH=um, loading a module doesn't result in its constructors getting
called, which breaks module gcov since the debugfs files are never
registered.  On the other hand, in-kernel constructors have already been
called by the dynamic linker, so we can't call them again.

Get out of this conundrum by allowing CONFIG_CONSTRUCTORS to be
selected, but avoiding the in-kernel constructor calls.

Also remove the "if !UML" from GCOV selecting CONSTRUCTORS now, since we
really do want CONSTRUCTORS, just not kernel binary ones.

Petr Mladek a91bd6223e Revert "init/console: Use ttynull as a fallback when there is no console"
This reverts commit 757055ae8d.

The commit caused that ttynull was used as the default console
on several systems[1][2][3]. As a result, the console was
blank even when a better alternative existed.

It happened when there was no console configured
on the command line and ttynull_init() was the first initcall
calling register_console().

Or it happened when /dev/ did not exist when console_on_rootfs()
was called. It was not able to open /dev/console even though
a console driver was registered. It tried to add ttynull console
but it obviously did not help. But ttynull became the preferred
console and was used by /dev/console when it was available later.

The commit tried to fix a historical problem that have been there
for ages. The primary motivation was the commit 3cffa06aee
("printk/console: Allow to disable console output by using console=""
 or console=null"). It provided a clean solution for a workaround
 that was widely used and worked only by chance.

This revert causes that the console="" or console=null command line
options will again work only by chance. These options will cause that
a particular console will be preferred and the default (tty) ones
will not get enabled. There will be no console registered at
all. As a result there won't be stdin, stdout, and stderr for
the init process. But it worked exactly this way even before.

The proper solution has to fulfill many conditions:

  + Register ttynull only when explicitly required or as
    the ultimate fallback.

  + ttynull should get associated with /dev/console but it must
    not become preferred console when used as a fallback.
    Especially, it must still be possible to replace it
    by a better console later.

Such a change requires clean up of the register_console() code.
Otherwise, it would be even harder to follow. Especially, the use
of has_preferred_console and CON_CONSDEV flag is tricky. The clean
up is risky. The ordering of consoles is not well defined. And
any changes tend to break existing user settings.

Do the revert at the least risky solution for now.

Vlastimil Babka 04013513cc mm, page_alloc: do not rely on the order of page_poison and init_on_alloc/free parameters
Patch series "cleanup page poisoning", v3.

I have identified a number of issues and opportunities for cleanup with
CONFIG_PAGE_POISON and friends:

 - interaction with init_on_alloc and init_on_free parameters depends on
   the order of parameters (Patch 1)

 - the boot time enabling uses static key, but inefficienty (Patch 2)

 - sanity checking is incompatible with hibernation (Patch 3)

 - CONFIG_PAGE_POISONING_NO_SANITY can be removed now that we have
   init_on_free (Patch 4)

 - CONFIG_PAGE_POISONING_ZERO can be most likely removed now that we
   have init_on_free (Patch 5)

This patch (of 5):

Enabling page_poison=1 together with init_on_alloc=1 or init_on_free=1
produces a warning in dmesg that page_poison takes precedence.  However,
as these warnings are printed in early_param handlers for
init_on_alloc/free, they are not printed if page_poison is enabled later
on the command line (handlers are called in the order of their
parameters), or when init_on_alloc/free is always enabled by the
respective config option - before the page_poison early param handler is
called, it is not considered to be enabled.  This is inconsistent.

We can remove the dependency on order by making the init_on_* parameters
only set a boolean variable, and postponing the evaluation after all early
params have been processed.  Introduce a new
init_mem_debugging_and_hardening() function for that, and move the related
debug_pagealloc processing there as well.

As a result init_mem_debugging_and_hardening() knows always accurately if
init_on_* and/or page_poison options were enabled.  Thus we can also
optimize want_init_on_alloc() and want_init_on_free().  We don't need to
check page_poisoning_enabled() there, we can instead not enable the
init_on_* static keys at all, if page poisoning is enabled.  This results
in a simpler and more effective code.

Lin Feng ba8f3587f5 init/main: fix broken buffer_init when DEFERRED_STRUCT_PAGE_INIT set
In the booting phase if CONFIG_DEFERRED_STRUCT_PAGE_INIT is set,
we have following callchain:

start_kernel
...
  mm_init
    mem_init
     memblock_free_all
       reset_all_zones_managed_pages
       free_low_memory_core_early
...
  buffer_init
    nr_free_buffer_pages
      zone->managed_pages
...
  rest_init
    kernel_init
      kernel_init_freeable
        page_alloc_init_late
          kthread_run(deferred_init_memmap, NODE_DATA(nid), "pgdatinit%d", nid);
          wait_for_completion(&pgdat_init_all_done_comp);
          ...
          files_maxfiles_init

It's clear that buffer_init depends on zone->managed_pages, but it's reset
in reset_all_zones_managed_pages after that pages are readded into
zone->managed_pages, but when buffer_init runs this process is half done
and most of them will finally be added till deferred_init_memmap done.  In
large memory couting of nr_free_buffer_pages drifts too much, also
drifting from kernels to kernels on same hardware.

Fix is simple, it delays buffer_init run till deferred_init_memmap all
done.

But as corrected by this patch, max_buffer_heads becomes very large, the
value is roughly as many as 4 times of totalram_pages, formula:
max_buffer_heads = nrpages * (10%) * (PAGE_SIZE / sizeof(struct
buffer_head));

Say in a 64GB memory box we have 16777216 pages, then max_buffer_heads
turns out to be roughly 67,108,864.  In common cases, should a buffer_head
be mapped to one page/block(4KB)?  So max_buffer_heads never exceeds
totalram_pages.  IMO it's likely to make buffer_heads_over_limit bool
value alwasy false, then make codes 'if (buffer_heads_over_limit)' test in
vmscan unnecessary.

So this patch will change the original behavior related to
buffer_heads_over_limit in vmscan since we used a half done value of
zone->managed_pages before, or should we use a smaller factor(<10%) in
previous formula.

akpm: I think this is OK - the max_buffer_heads code is only needed on
highmem machines, to prevent ZONE_NORMAL from being consumed by large
amounts of buffer_heads attached to highmem pagecache.  This problem will
not occur on 64-bit machines, so this feature's non-functionality on such
machines is a feature, not a bug.

Zhenhua Huang 7fb7ab6d61 mm: fix page_owner initializing issue for arm32
Page owner of pages used by page owner itself used is missing on arm32
targets.  The reason is dummy_handle and failure_handle is not initialized
correctly.  Buddy allocator is used to initialize these two handles.
However, buddy allocator is not ready when page owner calls it.  This
change fixed that by initializing page owner after buddy initialization.

The working flow before and after this change are:
original logic:
 1. allocated memory for page_ext(using memblock).
 2. invoke the init callback of page_ext_ops like page_owner(using buddy
    allocator).
 3. initialize buddy.

after this change:
 1. allocated memory for page_ext(using memblock).
 2. initialize buddy.
 3. invoke the init callback of page_ext_ops like page_owner(using buddy
    allocator).

with the change, failure/dummy_handle can get its correct value and page
owner output for example has the one for page owner itself:

  Page allocated via order 2, mask 0x6202c0(GFP_USER|__GFP_NOWARN), pid 1006, ts 67278156558 ns

Petr Mladek 757055ae8d init/console: Use ttynull as a fallback when there is no console
stdin, stdout, and stderr standard I/O stream are created for the init
process. They are not available when there is no console registered
for /dev/console. It might lead to a crash when the init process
tries to use them, see the commit 48021f9813 ("printk: handle
blank console arguments passed in.").

Normally, ttySX and ttyX consoles are used as a fallback when no consoles
are defined via the command line, device tree, or SPCR. But there
will be no console registered when an invalid console name is configured
or when the configured consoles do not exist on the system.

Users even try to avoid the console intentionally, for example,
by using console="" or console=null. It is used on production
systems where the serial port or terminal are not visible to
users. Pushing messages to these consoles would just unnecessary
slowdown the system.

Make sure that stdin, stdout, stderr, and /dev/console are always
available by a fallback to the existing ttynull driver. It has
been implemented for exactly this purpose but it was used only

Linus Torvalds 7cf726a594 linux-kselftest-kunit-5.10-rc1
This Kunit update for Linux 5.10-rc1 consists of:
 
 - add Kunit to kernel_init() and remove KUnit from init calls entirely.
   This addresses the concern Kunit would not work correctly during
   late init phase.
 - add a linker section where KUnit can put references to its test suites.
   This patch is the first step in transitioning to dispatching all KUnit
   tests from a centralized executor rather than having each as its own
   separate late_initcall.
 - add a centralized executor to dispatch tests rather than relying on
   late_initcall to schedule each test suite separately. Centralized
   execution is for built-in tests only; modules will execute tests when
   loaded.
 - convert bitfield test to use KUnit framework
 - Documentation updates for naming guidelines and how kunit_test_suite()
   works.
 - add test plan to KUnit TAP format

Brendan Higgins 8c0d884986 init: main: add KUnit to kernel init
Although we have not seen any actual examples where KUnit doesn't work
because it runs in the late init phase of the kernel, it has been a
concern for some time that this could potentially be an issue in the
future. So, remove KUnit from init calls entirely, instead call directly
from kernel_init() so that KUnit runs after late init.

Andrey Konovalov f9409d58e9 kasan, arm64: don't instrument functions that enable kasan
This patch prepares Software Tag-Based KASAN for stack tagging support.

With stack tagging enabled, KASAN tags stack variable in each function in
its prologue.  In start_kernel() stack variables get tagged before KASAN
is enabled via setup_arch()->kasan_init().  As the result the tags for
start_kernel()'s stack variables end up in the temporary shadow memory.
Later when KASAN gets enabled, switched to normal shadow, and starts
checking tags, this leads to false-positive reports, as proper tags are
missing in normal shadow.

Disable KASAN instrumentation for start_kernel().  Also disable it for
arm64's setup_arch() as a precaution (it doesn't have any stack variables
right now).

Masami Hiramatsu 477d084781 bootconfig: Fix to find the initargs correctly
Since the parse_args() stops parsing at '--', bootconfig_params()
will never get the '--' as param and initargs_found never be true.
In the result, if we pass some init arguments via the bootconfig,
those are always appended to the kernel command line with '--'
even if the kernel command line already has '--'.

To fix this correctly, check the return value of parse_args()
and set initargs_found true if the return value is not an error
but a valid address.

Eric W. Biederman be619f7f06 exec: Implement kernel_execve
To allow the kernel not to play games with set_fs to call exec
implement kernel_execve.  The function kernel_execve takes pointers
into kernel memory and copies the values pointed to onto the new
userspace stack.

The calls with arguments from kernel space of do_execve are replaced
with calls to kernel_execve.

The calls do_execve and do_execveat are made static as there are now
no callers outside of exec.

The comments that mention do_execve are updated to refer to
kernel_execve or execve depending on the circumstances.  In addition
to correcting the comments, this makes it easy to grep for do_execve
and verify it is not used.

glider@google.com f0fe00d497 security: allow using Clang's zero initialization for stack variables
In addition to -ftrivial-auto-var-init=pattern (used by
CONFIG_INIT_STACK_ALL now) Clang also supports zero initialization for
locals enabled by -ftrivial-auto-var-init=zero. The future of this flag
is still being debated (see https://bugs.llvm.org/show_bug.cgi?id=45497).
Right now it is guarded by another flag,
-enable-trivial-auto-var-init-zero-knowing-it-will-be-removed-from-clang,
which means it may not be supported by future Clang releases. Another
possible resolution is that -ftrivial-auto-var-init=zero will persist
(as certain users have already started depending on it), but the name
of the guard flag will change.

In the meantime, zero initialization has proven itself as a good
production mitigation measure against uninitialized locals. Unlike pattern
initialization, which has a higher chance of triggering existing bugs,
zero initialization provides safe defaults for strings, pointers, indexes,
and sizes. On the other hand, pattern initialization remains safer for
return values. Chrome OS and Android are moving to using zero
initialization for production builds.

Performance-wise, the difference between pattern and zero initialization
is usually negligible, although the generated code for zero
initialization is more compact.

This patch renames CONFIG_INIT_STACK_ALL to CONFIG_INIT_STACK_ALL_PATTERN
and introduces another config option, CONFIG_INIT_STACK_ALL_ZERO, that
enables zero initialization for locals if the corresponding flags are
supported by Clang.

Vlastimil Babka 3db978d480 kernel/sysctl: support setting sysctl parameters from kernel command line
Patch series "support setting sysctl parameters from kernel command line", v3.

This series adds support for something that seems like many people
always wanted but nobody added it yet, so here's the ability to set
sysctl parameters via kernel command line options in the form of
sysctl.vm.something=1

The important part is Patch 1.  The second, not so important part is an
attempt to clean up legacy one-off parameters that do the same thing as
a sysctl.  I don't want to remove them completely for compatibility
reasons, but with generic sysctl support the idea is to remove the
one-off param handlers and treat the parameters as aliases for the
sysctl variants.

I have identified several parameters that mention sysctl counterparts in
Documentation/admin-guide/kernel-parameters.txt but there might be more.
The conversion also has varying level of success:

 - numa_zonelist_order is converted in Patch 2 together with adding the
   necessary infrastructure. It's easy as it doesn't really do anything
   but warn on deprecated value these days.

 - hung_task_panic is converted in Patch 3, but there's a downside that
   now it only accepts 0 and 1, while previously it was any integer
   value

 - nmi_watchdog maps to two sysctls nmi_watchdog and hardlockup_panic,
   so there's no straighforward conversion possible

 - traceoff_on_warning is a flag without value and it would be required
   to handle that somehow in the conversion infractructure, which seems
   pointless for a single flag

This patch (of 5):

A recently proposed patch to add vm_swappiness command line parameter in
addition to existing sysctl [1] made me wonder why we don't have a
general support for passing sysctl parameters via command line.

Googling found only somebody else wondering the same [2], but I haven't
found any prior discussion with reasons why not to do this.

Settings the vm_swappiness issue aside (the underlying issue might be
solved in a different way), quick search of kernel-parameters.txt shows
there are already some that exist as both sysctl and kernel parameter -
hung_task_panic, nmi_watchdog, numa_zonelist_order, traceoff_on_warning.

A general mechanism would remove the need to add more of those one-offs
and might be handy in situations where configuration by e.g.
/etc/sysctl.d/ is impractical.

Hence, this patch adds a new parse_args() pass that looks for parameters
prefixed by 'sysctl.' and tries to interpret them as writes to the
corresponding sys/ files using an temporary in-kernel procfs mount.
This mechanism was suggested by Eric W.  Biederman [3], as it handles
all dynamically registered sysctl tables, even though we don't handle
modular sysctls.  Errors due to e.g.  invalid parameter name or value
are reported in the kernel log.

The processing is hooked right before the init process is loaded, as
some handlers might be more complicated than simple setters and might
need some subsystems to be initialized.  At the moment the init process
can be started and eventually execute a process writing to /proc/sys/
then it should be also fine to do that from the kernel.

Sysctls registered later on module load time are not set by this
mechanism - it's expected that in such scenarios, setting sysctl values
from userspace is practical enough.

Chris Down ada4ab7af1 init: allow distribution configuration of default init
Some init systems (eg.  systemd) have init at their own paths, for
example, /usr/lib/systemd/systemd.  A compatibility symlink to one of the
hardcoded init paths is provided by another package, usually named
something like systemd-sysvcompat or similar.

Currently distro maintainers who are hands-off on the bootloader are more
or less required to include those compatibility links as part of their
base distribution, because it's hard to migrate away from them since
there's a risk some users will not get the message to set init= on the
kernel command line appropriately.

Moreover, for distributions where the init system is something the
distribution itself is opinionated about (eg.  Arch, which has systemd in
the required `base` package), we could usually reasonably configure this
ahead of time when building the distribution kernel.  However, we
currently simply don't have any way to configure the kernel to do this.
Here's an example discussion where removing sysvcompat was discussed by
distro maintainers[0].

This patch adds a new Kconfig tunable, CONFIG_DEFAULT_INIT, which if set
is tried before the hardcoded fallback list.  So the order of precedence
is now thus:

1. init= on command line (on failure: panic)
2. CONFIG_DEFAULT_INIT (on failure: try #3)
3. Hardcoded fallback list (on failure: panic)

This new config parameter will allow distribution maintainers to move away
from these compatibility links safely, without having to worry that their
users might not have the right init=.

There are also two other benefits of this over having the distribution
maintain a symlink:

1. One of the value propositions over simply having distributions
   maintain a /sbin/init symlink via a package is that it also frees
   distributions which have a preferred default, but not mandatory, init
   system from having their package manager fight with their users for
   control of /{s,}bin/init.  Instead, the distribution simply makes
   their preference known in CONFIG_DEFAULT_INIT, and if the user
   installs another init system and uninstalls the default one they can
   still make use of /{s,}bin/init and friends for their own uses. This
   makes more cases Just Work(tm) without the user having to perform
   extra configuration via init=.

2. Since before this we don't know which path the distribution actually
   _intends_ to serve init from, we don't pr_err if it is simply
   missing, and usually will just silently put the user in a /bin/sh
   shell. Now that the distribution can make a declaration of intent, we
   can be more vocal when this init system fails to launch for any
   reason, even if it's simply because no file exists at that location,
   speeding up the palaver of init/mount dependency/etc debugging a bit.

padata will soon initialize the system's struct pages in parallel, so it
needs to be ready by page_alloc_init_late().

The error return from padata_driver_init() triggers an initcall warning,
so add a warning to padata_init() to avoid silent failure.

Borislav Petkov a9a3ed1eff x86: Fix early boot crash on gcc-10, third try
... or the odyssey of trying to disable the stack protector for the
function which generates the stack canary value.

The whole story started with Sergei reporting a boot crash with a kernel
built with gcc-10:

  Kernel panic — not syncing: stack-protector: Kernel stack is corrupted in: start_secondary
  CPU: 1 PID: 0 Comm: swapper/1 Not tainted 5.6.0-rc5—00235—gfffb08b37df9 #139
  Hardware name: Gigabyte Technology Co., Ltd. To be filled by O.E.M./H77M—D3H, BIOS F12 11/14/2013
  Call Trace:
    dump_stack
    panic
    ? start_secondary
    __stack_chk_fail
    start_secondary
    secondary_startup_64
  -—-[ end Kernel panic — not syncing: stack—protector: Kernel stack is corrupted in: start_secondary

This happens because gcc-10 tail-call optimizes the last function call
in start_secondary() - cpu_startup_entry() - and thus emits a stack
canary check which fails because the canary value changes after the
boot_init_stack_canary() call.

To fix that, the initial attempt was to mark the one function which
generates the stack canary with:

  __attribute__((optimize("-fno-stack-protector"))) ... start_secondary(void *unused)

however, using the optimize attribute doesn't work cumulatively
as the attribute does not add to but rather replaces previously
supplied optimization options - roughly all -fxxx options.

The key one among them being -fno-omit-frame-pointer and thus leading to
not present frame pointer - frame pointer which the kernel needs.

The next attempt to prevent compilers from tail-call optimizing
the last function call cpu_startup_entry(), shy of carving out
start_secondary() into a separate compilation unit and building it with
-fno-stack-protector, was to add an empty asm("").

This current solution was short and sweet, and reportedly, is supported
by both compilers but we didn't get very far this time: future (LTO?)
optimization passes could potentially eliminate this, which leads us
to the third attempt: having an actual memory barrier there which the
compiler cannot ignore or move around etc.

That should hold for a long time, but hey we said that about the other
two solutions too so...

This error will be ignored if CONFIG_BLK_DEV_RAM=n,
but CONFIG_BLK_DEV_RAM=y the kernel failed to mount rootfs

To fix this issue, shrink down the initrd_end for removing
tailing bootconfig data while boot the kernel.
