43e76af85f kcov: ignore fault-inject and stacktrace
Don't instrument 3 more files that contain debugging facilities and
produce large amounts of uninteresting coverage for every syscall.

The following snippets are sprinkled all over the place in kcov traces
in a debugging kernel.  We already try to disable instrumentation of
stack unwinding code and of most debug facilities.  I guess we did not
use fault-inject.c at the time, and stacktrace.c was somehow missed (or
something has changed in kernel/configs).  This change both speeds up
kcov (kernel doesn't need to store these PCs, user-space doesn't need to
process them) and frees trace buffer capacity for more useful coverage.

Pull thread management updates from Christian Brauner:
 "Sargun Dhillon over the last cycle has worked on the pidfd_getfd()
  syscall.

  This syscall allows for the retrieval of file descriptors of a process
  based on its pidfd. A task needs to have ptrace_may_access()
  permissions with PTRACE_MODE_ATTACH_REALCREDS (suggested by Oleg and
  Andy) on the target.

  One of the main use-cases is in combination with seccomp's user
  notification feature. As a reminder, seccomp's user notification
  feature was made available in v5.0. It allows a task to retrieve a
  file descriptor for its seccomp filter. The file descriptor is usually
  handed of to a more privileged supervising process. The supervisor can
  then listen for syscall events caught by the seccomp filter of the
  supervisee and perform actions in lieu of the supervisee, usually
  emulating syscalls. pidfd_getfd() is needed to expand its uses.

  There are currently two major users that wait on pidfd_getfd() and one
  future user:

   - Netflix, Sargun said, is working on a service mesh where users
     should be able to connect to a dns-based VIP. When a user connects
     to e.g. 1.2.3.4:80 that runs e.g. service "foo" they will be
     redirected to an envoy process. This service mesh uses seccomp user
     notifications and pidfd to intercept all connect calls and instead
     of connecting them to 1.2.3.4:80 connects them to e.g.
     127.0.0.1:8080.

   - LXD uses the seccomp notifier heavily to intercept and emulate
     mknod() and mount() syscalls for unprivileged containers/processes.
     With pidfd_getfd() more uses-cases e.g. bridging socket connections
     will be possible.

   - The patchset has also seen some interest from the browser corner.
     Right now, Firefox is using a SECCOMP_RET_TRAP sandbox managed by a
     broker process. In the future glibc will start blocking all signals
     during dlopen() rendering this type of sandbox impossible. Hence,
     in the future Firefox will switch to a seccomp-user-nofication
     based sandbox which also makes use of file descriptor retrieval.
     The thread for this can be found at
     https://sourceware.org/ml/libc-alpha/2019-12/msg00079.html

  With pidfd_getfd() it is e.g. possible to bridge socket connections
  for the supervisee (binding to a privileged port) and taking actions
  on file descriptors on behalf of the supervisee in general.

  Sargun's first version was using an ioctl on pidfds but various people
  pushed for it to be a proper syscall which he duely implemented as
  well over various review cycles. Selftests are of course included.
  I've also added instructions how to deal with merge conflicts below.

  There's also a small fix coming from the kernel mentee project to
  correctly annotate struct sighand_struct with __rcu to fix various
  sparse warnings. We've received a few more such fixes and even though
  they are mostly trivial I've decided to postpone them until after -rc1
  since they came in rather late and I don't want to risk introducing
  build warnings.

  Finally, there's a new prctl() command PR_{G,S}ET_IO_FLUSHER which is
  needed to avoid allocation recursions triggerable by storage drivers
  that have userspace parts that run in the IO path (e.g. dm-multipath,
  iscsi, etc). These allocation recursions deadlock the device.

  The new prctl() allows such privileged userspace components to avoid
  allocation recursions by setting the PF_MEMALLOC_NOIO and
  PF_LESS_THROTTLE flags. The patch carries the necessary acks from the
  relevant maintainers and is routed here as part of prctl()
  thread-management."

22b17db4ea Merge tag 'y2038-drivers-for-v5.6-signed' of git://git.kernel.org:/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/arnd/playground
Pull y2038 updates from Arnd Bergmann:
 "Core, driver and file system changes

  These are updates to device drivers and file systems that for some
  reason or another were not included in the kernel in the previous
  y2038 series.

  I've gone through all users of time_t again to make sure the kernel is
  in a long-term maintainable state, replacing all remaining references
  to time_t with safe alternatives.

  Some related parts of the series were picked up into the nfsd, xfs,
  alsa and v4l2 trees. A final set of patches in linux-mm removes the
  now unused time_t/timeval/timespec types and helper functions after
  all five branches are merged for linux-5.6, ensuring that no new users
  get merged.

  As a result, linux-5.6, or my backport of the patches to 5.4 [1],
  should be the first release that can serve as a base for a 32-bit
  system designed to run beyond year 2038, with a few remaining caveats:

   - All user space must be compiled with a 64-bit time_t, which will be
     supported in the coming musl-1.2 and glibc-2.32 releases, along
     with installed kernel headers from linux-5.6 or higher.

   - Applications that use the system call interfaces directly need to
     be ported to use the time64 syscalls added in linux-5.1 in place of
     the existing system calls. This impacts most users of futex() and
     seccomp() as well as programming languages that have their own
     runtime environment not based on libc.

   - Applications that use a private copy of kernel uapi header files or
     their contents may need to update to the linux-5.6 version, in
     particular for sound/asound.h, xfs/xfs_fs.h, linux/input.h,
     linux/elfcore.h, linux/sockios.h, linux/timex.h and
     linux/can/bcm.h.

   - A few remaining interfaces cannot be changed to pass a 64-bit
     time_t in a compatible way, so they must be configured to use
     CLOCK_MONOTONIC times or (with a y2106 problem) unsigned 32-bit
     timestamps. Most importantly this impacts all users of 'struct
     input_event'.

   - All y2038 problems that are present on 64-bit machines also apply
     to 32-bit machines. In particular this affects file systems with
     on-disk timestamps using signed 32-bit seconds: ext4 with
     ext3-style small inodes, ext2, xfs (to be fixed soon) and ufs"

6aee4badd8 Merge branch 'work.openat2' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/viro/vfs
Pull openat2 support from Al Viro:
 "This is the openat2() series from Aleksa Sarai.

  I'm afraid that the rest of namei stuff will have to wait - it got
  zero review the last time I'd posted #work.namei, and there had been a
  leak in the posted series I'd caught only last weekend. I was going to
  repost it on Monday, but the window opened and the odds of getting any
  review during that... Oh, well.

  Anyway, openat2 part should be ready; that _did_ get sane amount of
  review and public testing, so here it comes"

From Aleksa's description of the series:
 "For a very long time, extending openat(2) with new features has been
  incredibly frustrating. This stems from the fact that openat(2) is
  possibly the most famous counter-example to the mantra "don't silently
  accept garbage from userspace" -- it doesn't check whether unknown
  flags are present[1].

  This means that (generally) the addition of new flags to openat(2) has
  been fraught with backwards-compatibility issues (O_TMPFILE has to be
  defined as __O_TMPFILE|O_DIRECTORY|[O_RDWR or O_WRONLY] to ensure old
  kernels gave errors, since it's insecure to silently ignore the
  flag[2]). All new security-related flags therefore have a tough road
  to being added to openat(2).

  Furthermore, the need for some sort of control over VFS's path
  resolution (to avoid malicious paths resulting in inadvertent
  breakouts) has been a very long-standing desire of many userspace
  applications.

  This patchset is a revival of Al Viro's old AT_NO_JUMPS[3] patchset
  (which was a variant of David Drysdale's O_BENEATH patchset[4] which
  was a spin-off of the Capsicum project[5]) with a few additions and
  changes made based on the previous discussion within [6] as well as
  others I felt were useful.

  In line with the conclusions of the original discussion of
  AT_NO_JUMPS, the flag has been split up into separate flags. However,
  instead of being an openat(2) flag it is provided through a new
  syscall openat2(2) which provides several other improvements to the
  openat(2) interface (see the patch description for more details). The
  following new LOOKUP_* flags are added:

  LOOKUP_NO_XDEV:

     Blocks all mountpoint crossings (upwards, downwards, or through
     absolute links). Absolute pathnames alone in openat(2) do not
     trigger this. Magic-link traversal which implies a vfsmount jump is
     also blocked (though magic-link jumps on the same vfsmount are
     permitted).

  LOOKUP_NO_MAGICLINKS:

     Blocks resolution through /proc/$pid/fd-style links. This is done
     by blocking the usage of nd_jump_link() during resolution in a
     filesystem. The term "magic-links" is used to match with the only
     reference to these links in Documentation/, but I'm happy to change
     the name.

     It should be noted that this is different to the scope of
     ~LOOKUP_FOLLOW in that it applies to all path components. However,
     you can do openat2(NO_FOLLOW|NO_MAGICLINKS) on a magic-link and it
     will *not* fail (assuming that no parent component was a
     magic-link), and you will have an fd for the magic-link.

     In order to correctly detect magic-links, the introduction of a new
     LOOKUP_MAGICLINK_JUMPED state flag was required.

  LOOKUP_BENEATH:

     Disallows escapes to outside the starting dirfd's
     tree, using techniques such as ".." or absolute links. Absolute
     paths in openat(2) are also disallowed.

     Conceptually this flag is to ensure you "stay below" a certain
     point in the filesystem tree -- but this requires some additional
     to protect against various races that would allow escape using
     "..".

     Currently LOOKUP_BENEATH implies LOOKUP_NO_MAGICLINKS, because it
     can trivially beam you around the filesystem (breaking the
     protection). In future, there might be similar safety checks done
     as in LOOKUP_IN_ROOT, but that requires more discussion.

  In addition, two new flags are added that expand on the above ideas:

  LOOKUP_NO_SYMLINKS:

     Does what it says on the tin. No symlink resolution is allowed at
     all, including magic-links. Just as with LOOKUP_NO_MAGICLINKS this
     can still be used with NOFOLLOW to open an fd for the symlink as
     long as no parent path had a symlink component.

  LOOKUP_IN_ROOT:

     This is an extension of LOOKUP_BENEATH that, rather than blocking
     attempts to move past the root, forces all such movements to be
     scoped to the starting point. This provides chroot(2)-like
     protection but without the cost of a chroot(2) for each filesystem
     operation, as well as being safe against race attacks that
     chroot(2) is not.

     If a race is detected (as with LOOKUP_BENEATH) then an error is
     generated, and similar to LOOKUP_BENEATH it is not permitted to
     cross magic-links with LOOKUP_IN_ROOT.

     The primary need for this is from container runtimes, which
     currently need to do symlink scoping in userspace[7] when opening
     paths in a potentially malicious container.

     There is a long list of CVEs that could have bene mitigated by
     having RESOLVE_THIS_ROOT (such as CVE-2017-1002101,
     CVE-2017-1002102, CVE-2018-15664, and CVE-2019-5736, just to name a
     few).

  In order to make all of the above more usable, I'm working on
  libpathrs[8] which is a C-friendly library for safe path resolution.
  It features a userspace-emulated backend if the kernel doesn't support
  openat2(2). Hopefully we can get userspace to switch to using it, and
  thus get openat2(2) support for free once it's ready.

  Future work would include implementing things like
  RESOLVE_NO_AUTOMOUNT and possibly a RESOLVE_NO_REMOTE (to allow
  programs to be sure they don't hit DoSes though stale NFS handles)"

8d19f1c8e1 prctl: PR_{G,S}ET_IO_FLUSHER to support controlling memory reclaim
There are several storage drivers like dm-multipath, iscsi, tcmu-runner,
amd nbd that have userspace components that can run in the IO path. For
example, iscsi and nbd's userspace deamons may need to recreate a socket
and/or send IO on it, and dm-multipath's daemon multipathd may need to
send SG IO or read/write IO to figure out the state of paths and re-set
them up.

In the kernel these drivers have access to GFP_NOIO/GFP_NOFS and the
memalloc_*_save/restore functions to control the allocation behavior,
but for userspace we would end up hitting an allocation that ended up
writing data back to the same device we are trying to allocate for.
The device is then in a state of deadlock, because to execute IO the
device needs to allocate memory, but to allocate memory the memory
layers want execute IO to the device.

Here is an example with nbd using a local userspace daemon that performs
network IO to a remote server. We are using XFS on top of the nbd device,
but it can happen with any FS or other modules layered on top of the nbd
device that can write out data to free memory.  Here a nbd daemon helper
thread, msgr-worker-1, is performing a write/sendmsg on a socket to execute
a request. This kicks off a reclaim operation which results in a WRITE to
the nbd device and the nbd thread calling back into the mm layer.

This patch adds a new prctl command that daemons can use after they have
done their initial setup, and before they start to do allocations that
are in the IO path. It sets the PF_MEMALLOC_NOIO and PF_LESS_THROTTLE
flags so both userspace block and FS threads can use it to avoid the
allocation recursion and try to prevent from being throttled while
writing out data to free up memory.

Pull irq updates from Thomas Gleixner:
 "The interrupt departement provides:

   - A mechanism to shield isolated tasks from managed interrupts:

     The affinity of managed interrupts is completely controlled by the
     kernel and user space has no influence on them. The reason is that
     the automatically assigned affinity correlates to the multi-queue
     CPU handling of block devices.

     If the generated affinity mask spaws both housekeeping and isolated
     CPUs the interrupt could be routed to an isolated CPU which would
     then be disturbed by I/O submitted by a housekeeping CPU.

     The new mechamism ensures that as long as one housekeeping CPU is
     online in the assigned affinity mask the interrupt is routed to a
     housekeeping CPU.

     If there is no online housekeeping CPU in the affinity mask, then
     the interrupt is routed to an isolated CPU to keep the device queue
     intact, but unless the isolated CPU submits I/O by itself these
     interrupts are not raised.

   - A small addon to the device tree irqdomain core code to avoid
     duplication in irq chip drivers

   - Conversion of the SiFive PLIC to hierarchical domains

Pull timer updates from Thomas Gleixner:
 "The timekeeping and timers departement provides:

   - Time namespace support:

     If a container migrates from one host to another then it expects
     that clocks based on MONOTONIC and BOOTTIME are not subject to
     disruption. Due to different boot time and non-suspended runtime
     these clocks can differ significantly on two hosts, in the worst
     case time goes backwards which is a violation of the POSIX
     requirements.

     The time namespace addresses this problem. It allows to set offsets
     for clock MONOTONIC and BOOTTIME once after creation and before
     tasks are associated with the namespace. These offsets are taken
     into account by timers and timekeeping including the VDSO.

     Offsets for wall clock based clocks (REALTIME/TAI) are not provided
     by this mechanism. While in theory possible, the overhead and code
     complexity would be immense and not justified by the esoteric
     potential use cases which were discussed at Plumbers '18.

     The overhead for tasks in the root namespace (ie where host time
     offsets = 0) is in the noise and great effort was made to ensure
     that especially in the VDSO. If time namespace is disabled in the
     kernel configuration the code is compiled out.

     Kudos to Andrei Vagin and Dmitry Sofanov who implemented this
     feature and kept on for more than a year addressing review
     comments, finding better solutions. A pleasant experience.

   - Overhaul of the alarmtimer device dependency handling to ensure
     that the init/suspend/resume ordering is correct.

 "A set of watchdog/softlockup related improvements:

   - Enforce that the watchdog timestamp is always valid on boot. The

     0 which is at the same time the indicator to disable the watchdog.

     The trivial fix is to change the disabled indicator to ULONG_MAX.

   - Two cleanup patches removing unused and redundant code which got
     forgotten to be cleaned up in previous changes"

Pull timer fixes from Thomas Gleixner:
 "Two fixes for the generic VDSO code which missed 5.5:

   - Make the update to the coarse timekeeper unconditional.

     This is required because the coarse timekeeper interfaces in the
     VDSO do not depend on a VDSO capable clocksource. If the system
     does not have a VDSO capable clocksource and the update is
     depending on the VDSO capable clocksource, the coarse VDSO
     interfaces would operate on stale data forever.

   - Invert the logic of __arch_update_vdso_data() to avoid further head
     scratching.

     Tripped over this several times while analyzing the update problem
     above"
