Pull leaking-addresses updates from Tobin Harding:
"This set represents improvements to the scripts/leaking_addresses.pl
script.
The major improvement is that with this set applied the script
actually runs in a reasonable amount of time (less than a minute on a
standard stock Ubuntu user desktop). Also, we have a second maintainer
now and a tree hosted on kernel.org
We do a few code clean ups. We fix the command help output. Handling
of the vsyscall address range is fixed to check the whole range
instead of just the start/end addresses. We add support for 5 page
table levels (suggested on LKML). We use a system command to get the
machine architecture instead of using Perl. Calling this command for
every regex comparison is what previously choked the script, caching
the result of this call gave the major speed improvement. We add
support for scanning 32-bit kernels using the user/kernel memory
split. Path skipping code refactored and simplified (meaning easier
script configuration). We remove version numbering. We add a variable
name to improve readability of a regex and finally we check filenames
for leaking addresses.
Currently script scans /proc/PID for all PID. With this set applied we
only scan for PID==1. It was observed that on an idle system files
under /proc/PID are predominantly the same for all processes. Also it
was noted that the script does not scan _all_ the kernel since it only
scans active processes. Scanning only for PID==1 makes explicit the
inherent flaw in the script that the scan is only partial and also
speeds things up"

Pull general security layer updates from James Morris:
- Convert security hooks from list to hlist, a nice cleanup, saving
about 50% of space, from Sargun Dhillon.
- Only pass the cred, not the secid, to kill_pid_info_as_cred and
security_task_kill (as the secid can be determined from the cred),
from Stephen Smalley.
- Close a potential race in kernel_read_file(), by making the file
unwritable before calling the LSM check (vs after), from Kees Cook.
* 'next-general' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/jmorris/linux-security:
security: convert security hooks to use hlist
exec: Set file unwritable before LSM check
usb, signal, security: only pass the cred, not the secid, to kill_pid_info_as_cred and security_task_kill
Sometimes files may be created by using output from printk. As the scan
traverses the directory tree we should parse each path name and check if
it is leaking an address.
Add check for leaking address on each path name.

Currently sub routine may_leak_address() is checking regex against Perl
special variable $_ which is _fortunately_ being set correctly in a loop
before this sub routine is called. We already have declared a variable
to hold this value '$line' we should use it.
Use $line in regex match instead of implicit $_

The pointers listed in /proc/1/syscall are user pointers, and negative
syscall args will show up like kernel addresses.
For example
/proc/31808/syscall: 0 0x3 0x55b107a38180 0x2000 0xffffffffffffffb0 \
0x55b107a302d0 0x55b107a38180 0x7fffa313b8e8 0x7ff098560d11

When the system is idle it is likely that most files under /proc/PID
will be identical for various processes. Scanning _all_ the PIDs under
/proc is unnecessary and implies that we are thoroughly scanning /proc.
This is _not_ the case because there may be ways userspace can trigger
creation of /proc files that leak addresses but were not present during
a scan. For these two reasons we should exclude all PID directories
under /proc except '1/'
Exclude all /proc/PID except /proc/1.

Currently we are repeatedly calling `uname -m`. This is causing the
script to take a long time to run (more than 10 seconds to parse
/proc/kallsyms). We can use Perl state variables to cache the result of
the first call to `uname -m`. With this change in place the script
scans the whole kernel in under a minute.
Cache machine architecture in state variable.

Currently script has multiple configuration arrays. This is confusing,
evident by the fact that a bunch of the entries are in the wrong place.
We can simplify the code by just having a single array for absolute
paths to skip and a single array for file names to skip wherever they
appear in the scanned directory tree. There are also currently multiple
subroutines to handle the different arrays, we can reduce these to a
single subroutine also.
Simplify the path skipping code.

Currently script parses binary files. Since we are scanning for
readable kernel addresses there is no need to parse binary files. We
can use Perl to check if file is binary and skip parsing it if so.
Do not parse binary files.

Currently script only supports x86_64 and ppc64. It would be nice to be
able to scan 32-bit machines also. We can add support for 32-bit
architectures by modifying how we check for false positives, taking
advantage of the page offset used by the kernel, and using the correct
regular expression.
Support for 32-bit machines is enabled by the observation that the kernel
addresses on 32-bit machines are larger [in value] than the page offset.
We can use this to filter false positives when scanning the kernel for
leaking addresses.
Programmatic determination of the running architecture is not
immediately obvious (current 32-bit machines return various strings from
`uname -m`). We therefore provide a flag to enable scanning of 32-bit
kernels. Also we can check the kernel config file for the offset and if
not found default to 0xc0000000. A command line option to parse in the
page offset is also provided. We do automatically detect architecture
if running on ix86.
Add support for 32-bit kernels. Add a command line option for page
offset.

Currently script uses Perl to get the machine architecture. This can be
erroneous since Perl uses the architecture of the machine that Perl was
compiled on not the architecture of the running machine. We should use
the systems `uname` command instead.

Currently script only supports 4 page table levels because of the way
the kernel address regular expression is crafted. We can do better than
this. Using previously added support for kernel configuration options we
can get the number of page table levels defined by
CONFIG_PGTABLE_LEVELS. Using this value a correct regular expression can
be crafted. This only supports 5 page tables on x86_64.
Add support for 5 page table levels on x86_64.

Currently script checks only first and last address in the vsyscall
memory range. We can do better than this. When checking for false
positives against $match, we can convert $match to a hexadecimal value
then check if it lies within the range of vsyscall addresses.
Check whole range of vsyscall addresses when checking for false
positive.

Pull RISC-V updates from Palmer Dabbelt:
"This contains the new features we'd like to incorporate into the
RISC-V port for 4.17. We might have a bit more stuff land later in the
merge window, but I wanted to get this out earlier just so everyone
can see where we currently stand.
A short summary of the changes is:
- We've added support for dynamic ftrace on RISC-V targets.
- There have been a handful of cleanups to our atomic and locking
routines. They now more closely match the released RISC-V memory
model draft.
- Our module loading support has been cleaned up and is now enabled
by default, despite some limitations still existing.
- A patch to define COMMANDLINE_FORCE instead of COMMANDLINE_OVERRIDE
so the generic device tree code picks up handling all our command
line stuff.
There's more information in the merge commits for each patch set"

Pull arm64 updates from Will Deacon:
"Nothing particularly stands out here, probably because people were
tied up with spectre/meltdown stuff last time around. Still, the main
pieces are:
- Rework of our CPU features framework so that we can whitelist CPUs
that don't require kpti even in a heterogeneous system
- Support for the IDC/DIC architecture extensions, which allow us to
elide instruction and data cache maintenance when writing out
instructions
- Removal of the large memory model which resulted in suboptimal
codegen by the compiler and increased the use of literal pools,
which could potentially be used as ROP gadgets since they are
mapped as executable
- Rework of forced signal delivery so that the siginfo_t is
well-formed and handling of show_unhandled_signals is consolidated
and made consistent between different fault types
- More siginfo cleanup based on the initial patches from Eric
Biederman
