      get rid of legacy 'get_ds()' function · 736706be
      Linus Torvalds authored 
      

Every in-kernel use of this function defined it to KERNEL_DS (either as
an actual define, or as an inline function).  It's an entirely
historical artifact, and long long long ago used to actually read the
segment selector valueof '%ds' on x86.

Which in the kernel is always KERNEL_DS.

Inspired by a patch from Jann Horn that just did this for a very small
subset of users (the ones in fs/), along with Al who suggested a script.
I then just took it to the logical extreme and removed all the remaining
gunk.

Roughly scripted with

   git grep -l '(get_ds())' -- :^tools/ | xargs sed -i 's/(get_ds())/(KERNEL_DS)/'
   git grep -lw 'get_ds' -- :^tools/ | xargs sed -i '/^#define get_ds()/d'

plus manual fixups to remove a few unusual usage patterns, the couple of
inline function cases and to fix up a comment that had become stale.

The 'get_ds()' function remains in an x86 kvm selftest, since in user
space it actually does something relevant.

      socket: Rename SO_RCVTIMEO/ SO_SNDTIMEO with _OLD suffixes · 45bdc661
      Deepa Dinamani authored 
      

SO_RCVTIMEO and SO_SNDTIMEO socket options use struct timeval
as the time format. struct timeval is not y2038 safe.
The subsequent patches in the series add support for new socket
timeout options with _NEW suffix that will use y2038 safe
data structures. Although the existing struct timeval layout
is sufficiently wide to represent timeouts, because of the way
libc will interpret time_t based on user defined flag, these
new flags provide a way of having a structure that is the same
for all architectures consistently.
Rename the existing options with _OLD suffix forms so that the
right option is enabled for userspace applications according
to the architecture and time_t definition of libc.

SO_TIMESTAMP, SO_TIMESTAMPNS and SO_TIMESTAMPING options, the
way they are currently defined, are not y2038 safe.
Subsequent patches in the series add new y2038 safe versions
of these options which provide 64 bit timestamps on all
architectures uniformly.
Hence, rename existing options with OLD tag suffixes.

Also note that kernel will not use the untagged SO_TIMESTAMP*
and SCM_TIMESTAMP* options internally anymore.

      net: introduce SO_BINDTOIFINDEX sockopt · f5dd3d0c
      David Rheinsberg authored 
      

This introduces a new generic SOL_SOCKET-level socket option called
SO_BINDTOIFINDEX. It behaves similar to SO_BINDTODEVICE, but takes a
network interface index as argument, rather than the network interface
name.

User-space often refers to network-interfaces via their index, but has
to temporarily resolve it to a name for a call into SO_BINDTODEVICE.
This might pose problems when the network-device is renamed
asynchronously by other parts of the system. When this happens, the
SO_BINDTODEVICE might either fail, or worse, it might bind to the wrong
device.

In most cases user-space only ever operates on devices which they
either manage themselves, or otherwise have a guarantee that the device
name will not change (e.g., devices that are UP cannot be renamed).
However, particularly in libraries this guarantee is non-obvious and it
would be nice if that race-condition would simply not exist. It would
make it easier for those libraries to operate even in situations where
the device-name might change under the hood.

A real use-case that we recently hit is trying to start the network
stack early in the initrd but make it survive into the real system.
Existing distributions rename network-interfaces during the transition
from initrd into the real system. This, obviously, cannot affect
devices that are up and running (unless you also consider moving them
between network-namespaces). However, the network manager now has to
make sure its management engine for dormant devices will not run in
parallel to these renames. Particularly, when you offload operations
like DHCP into separate processes, these might setup their sockets
early, and thus have to resolve the device-name possibly running into
this race-condition.

By avoiding a call to resolve the device-name, we no longer depend on
the name and can run network setup of dormant devices in parallel to
the transition off the initrd. The SO_BINDTOIFINDEX ioctl plugs this
race.

      mm: treewide: remove unused address argument from pte_alloc functions · 4cf58924
      Joel Fernandes (Google) authored 
      Patch series "Add support for fast mremap".

This series speeds up the mremap(2) syscall by copying page tables at
the PMD level even for non-THP systems.  There is concern that the extra
'address' argument that mremap passes to pte_alloc may do something
subtle architecture related in the future that may make the scheme not
work.  Also we find that there is no point in passing the 'address' to
pte_alloc since its unused.  This patch therefore removes this argument
tree-wide resulting in a nice negative diff as well.  Also ensuring
along the way that the enabled architectures do not do anything funky
with the 'address' argument that goes unnoticed by the optimization.

Build and boot tested on x86-64.  Build tested on arm64.  The config
enablement patch for arm64 will be posted in the future after more
testing.

The changes were obtained by applying the following Coccinelle script.
(thanks Julia for answering all Coccinelle questions!).
Following fix ups were done manually:
* Removal of address argument from  pte_fragment_alloc
* Removal of pte_alloc_one_fast definitions from m68k and microblaze.

// Options: --include-headers --no-includes
// Note: I split the 'identifier fn' line, so if you are manually
// running it, please unsplit it so it runs for you.

      fls: change parameter to unsigned int · 3fc2579e
      Matthew Wilcox authored 
      When testing in userspace, UBSAN pointed out that shifting into the sign
bit is undefined behaviour.  It doesn't really make sense to ask for the
highest set bit of a negative value, so just turn the argument type into
an unsigned int.

Some architectures (eg ppc) already had it declared as an unsigned int,
so I don't expect too many problems.

      Remove 'type' argument from access_ok() function · 96d4f267
      Linus Torvalds authored 
      

Nobody has actually used the type (VERIFY_READ vs VERIFY_WRITE) argument
of the user address range verification function since we got rid of the
old racy i386-only code to walk page tables by hand.

It existed because the original 80386 would not honor the write protect
bit when in kernel mode, so you had to do COW by hand before doing any
user access.  But we haven't supported that in a long time, and these
days the 'type' argument is a purely historical artifact.

A discussion about extending 'user_access_begin()' to do the range
checking resulted this patch, because there is no way we're going to
move the old VERIFY_xyz interface to that model.  And it's best done at
the end of the merge window when I've done most of my merges, so let's
just get this done once and for all.

This patch was mostly done with a sed-script, with manual fix-ups for
the cases that weren't of the trivial 'access_ok(VERIFY_xyz' form.

There were a couple of notable cases:

 - csky still had the old "verify_area()" name as an alias.

 - the iter_iov code had magical hardcoded knowledge of the actual
   values of VERIFY_{READ,WRITE} (not that they mattered, since nothing
   really used it)

 - microblaze used the type argument for a debug printout

but other than those oddities this should be a total no-op patch.

I tried to fix up all architectures, did fairly extensive grepping for
access_ok() uses, and the changes are trivial, but I may have missed
something.  Any missed conversion should be trivially fixable, though.

      parisc: add __NR_syscalls along with __NR_Linux_syscalls · dbf91a54
      Firoz Khan authored 
      

__NR_Linux_syscalls macro holds the number of system call
exist in parisc architecture. We have to change the value
of __NR_Linux_syscalls, if we add or delete a system call.

One of the patch in this patch series has a script which
will generate a uapi header based on syscall.tbl file.
The syscall.tbl file contains the total number of system
calls information. So we have two option to update __NR-
_Linux_syscalls value.

1. Update __NR_Linux_syscalls in asm/unistd.h manually by
   counting the no.of system calls. No need to update __NR-
   _Linux_syscalls until we either add a new system call or
   delete existing system call.

2. We can keep this feature it above mentioned script,
   that will count the number of syscalls and keep it in
   a generated file. In this case we don't need to expli-
   citly update __NR_Linux_syscalls in asm/unistd.h file.

The 2nd option will be the recommended one. For that, I
added the __NR_syscalls macro in uapi/asm/unistd.h along
with __NR_Linux_syscalls asm/unistd.h. The macro __NR_sys-
calls also added for making the name convention same across
all architecture. While __NR_syscalls isn't strictly part
of the uapi, having it as part of the generated header to
simplifies the implementation. We also need to enclose
this macro with #ifdef __KERNEL__ to avoid side effects.

This reverts commit d27dfa13.

Unfortunately, this patch needs to be reverted.  We need the full sync
barrier and not the limited barrier provided by using an ordered store.
The sync ensures that all accesses and cache purge instructions that
follow the sync are performed after all such instructions prior the sync
instruction have completed executing.

The patch breaks the rwlock implementation in glibc.  This caused the
test-lock application in the libprelude testsuite to hang.  With the
change reverted, the test runs correctly and the libprelude package
builds successfully.
