Linus Torvalds bf4afc53b7 Convert 'alloc_obj' family to use the new default GFP_KERNEL argument
This was done entirely with mindless brute force, using

    git grep -l '\<k[vmz]*alloc_objs*(.*, GFP_KERNEL)' |
        xargs sed -i 's/\(alloc_objs*(.*\), GFP_KERNEL)/\1)/'

to convert the new alloc_obj() users that had a simple GFP_KERNEL
argument to just drop that argument.

Note that due to the extreme simplicity of the scripting, any slightly
more complex cases spread over multiple lines would not be triggered:
they definitely exist, but this covers the vast bulk of the cases, and
the resulting diff is also then easier to check automatically.

For the same reason the 'flex' versions will be done as a separate
conversion.

Kees Cook 69050f8d6d treewide: Replace kmalloc with kmalloc_obj for non-scalar types
This is the result of running the Coccinelle script from
scripts/coccinelle/api/kmalloc_objs.cocci. The script is designed to
avoid scalar types (which need careful case-by-case checking), and
instead replace kmalloc-family calls that allocate struct or union
object instances:

Single allocations:	kmalloc(sizeof(TYPE), ...)
are replaced with:	kmalloc_obj(TYPE, ...)

Array allocations:	kmalloc_array(COUNT, sizeof(TYPE), ...)
are replaced with:	kmalloc_objs(TYPE, COUNT, ...)

Flex array allocations:	kmalloc(struct_size(PTR, FAM, COUNT), ...)
are replaced with:	kmalloc_flex(*PTR, FAM, COUNT, ...)

(where TYPE may also be *VAR)

The resulting allocations no longer return "void *", instead returning
"TYPE *".

Al Viro b4a76faf9d convert devpts
Two kinds of objects there - ptmx and everything else (pty).  The former is
created on mount and kept until the fs shutdown; the latter get created
and removed by tty layer (the references are borrowed into tty->driver_data).
The reference to ptmx dentry is also kept, but we only ever use it to
find ptmx inode on remount.

* turn d_add() into d_make_persistent() + dput()  both in mknod_ptmx() and
in devpts_pty_new().

* turn dput() to d_make_discardable() in devpts_pty_kill().

* switch mknod_ptmx() to simple_{start,done}_creating().

* instead of storing in pts_fs_info a reference to ptmx dentry, store a reference
to its inode, seeing that this is what we use it for.

Joel Granados 1751f872cc treewide: const qualify ctl_tables where applicable
Add the const qualifier to all the ctl_tables in the tree except for
watchdog_hardlockup_sysctl, memory_allocation_profiling_sysctls,
loadpin_sysctl_table and the ones calling register_net_sysctl (./net,
drivers/inifiniband dirs). These are special cases as they use a
registration function with a non-const qualified ctl_table argument or
modify the arrays before passing them on to the registration function.

Constifying ctl_table structs will prevent the modification of
proc_handler function pointers as the arrays would reside in .rodata.
This is made possible after commit 78eb4ea25c ("sysctl: treewide:
constify the ctl_table argument of proc_handlers") constified all the
proc_handlers.

Joel GranadosandLuis Chamberlain 9d5b947535 fs: Remove the now superfluous sentinel elements from ctl_table array
This commit comes at the tail end of a greater effort to remove the
empty elements at the end of the ctl_table arrays (sentinels) which
will reduce the overall build time size of the kernel and run time
memory bloat by ~64 bytes per sentinel (further information Link :
https://lore.kernel.org/all/ZO5Yx5JFogGi%2FcBo@bombadil.infradead.org/)

Remove sentinel elements ctl_table struct. Special attention was placed in
making sure that an empty directory for fs/verity was created when
CONFIG_FS_VERITY_BUILTIN_SIGNATURES is not defined. In this case we use the
register sysctl call that expects a size.

Amir GoldsteinandJan Kara 29044dae2e fsnotify: fix fsnotify hooks in pseudo filesystems
Commit 49246466a9 ("fsnotify: move fsnotify_nameremove() hook out of
d_delete()") moved the fsnotify delete hook before d_delete() so fsnotify
will have access to a positive dentry.

This allowed a race where opening the deleted file via cached dentry
is now possible after receiving the IN_DELETE event.

To fix the regression in pseudo filesystems, convert d_delete() calls
to d_drop() (see commit 46c46f8df9 ("devpts_pty_kill(): don't bother
with d_delete()") and move the fsnotify hook after d_drop().

Add a missing fsnotify_unlink() hook in nfsdfs that was found during
the audit of fsnotify hooks in pseudo filesystems.

Note that the fsnotify hooks in simple_recursive_removal() follow
d_invalidate(), so they require no change.

Varad GautamandAl Viro 73052b0dae fs/devpts: always delete dcache dentry-s in dput()
d_delete only unhashes an entry if it is reached with
dentry->d_lockref.count != 1. Prior to commit 8ead9dd547 ("devpts:
more pty driver interface cleanups"), d_delete was called on a dentry
from devpts_pty_kill with two references held, which would trigger the
unhashing, and the subsequent dputs would release it.

Commit 8ead9dd547 reworked devpts_pty_kill to stop acquiring the second
reference from d_find_alias, and the d_delete call left the dentries
still on the hashed list without actually ever being dropped from dcache
before explicit cleanup. This causes the number of negative dentries for
devpts to pile up, and an `ls /dev/pts` invocation can take seconds to
return.

Provide always_delete_dentry() from simple_dentry_operations
as .d_delete for devpts, to make the dentry be dropped from dcache.

Without this cleanup, the number of dentries in /dev/pts/ can be grown
arbitrarily as:

`python -c 'import pty; pty.spawn(["ls", "/dev/pts"])'`

A systemtap probe on dcache_readdir to count d_subdirs shows this count
to increase with each pty spawn invocation above:

probe kernel.function("dcache_readdir") {
    subdirs = &@cast($file->f_path->dentry, "dentry")->d_subdirs;
    p = subdirs;
    p = @cast(p, "list_head")->next;
    i = 0
    while (p != subdirs) {
      p = @cast(p, "list_head")->next;
      i = i+1;
    }
    printf("number of dentries: %d\n", i);
}

Christian BraunerandGreg Kroah-Hartman a319b01d90 devpts: resolve devpts bind-mounts
Most libcs will still look at /dev/ptmx when opening the master fd of a pty
device. When /dev/ptmx is a bind-mount of /dev/pts/ptmx and the TIOCGPTPEER
ioctl() is used to safely retrieve a file descriptor for the slave side of
the pty based on the master fd, the /proc/self/fd/{0,1,2} symlinks will
point to /. A very simply reproducer for this issue presupposing a libc
that uses TIOCGPTPEER in its openpty() implementation is:

unshare --mount
mount --bind /dev/pts/ptmx /dev/ptmx
chmod 666 /dev/ptmx
script
ls -al /proc/self/fd/0

Having bind-mounts of /dev/pts/ptmx to /dev/ptmx not working correctly is a
regression. In addition, it is also a fairly common scenario in containers
employing user namespaces.

The reason for the current failure is that the kernel tries to verify the
useability of the devpts filesystem without resolving the /dev/ptmx
bind-mount first. This will lead it to detect that the dentry is escaping
its bind-mount. The reason is that while the devpts filesystem mounted at
/dev/pts has the devtmpfs mounted at /dev as its parent mount:

21 -- -- / /dev
-- 21 -- / /dev/pts

devtmpfs and devpts are on different devices

-- -- 0:6  / /dev
-- -- 0:20 / /dev/pts

This has the consequence that the pathname of the parent directory of the
devpts filesystem mount at /dev/pts is /. So if /dev/ptmx is a bind-mount
of /dev/pts/ptmx then the /dev/ptmx bind-mount and the devpts mount at
/dev/pts will end up being located on the same device which is recorded in
the superblock of their vfsmount. This means the parent directory of the
/dev/ptmx bind-mount will be /ptmx:

-- -- ---- /ptmx /dev/ptmx

Without the bind-mount resolution patch the kernel will now perform the
bind-mount escape check directly on /dev/ptmx. The function responsible for
this is devpts_ptmx_path() which calls pts_path() which in turn calls
path_parent_directory(). Based on the above explanation,
path_parent_directory() will yield / as the parent directory for the
/dev/ptmx bind-mount and not the expected /dev. Thus, the kernel detects
that /dev/ptmx is escaping its bind-mount and will set /proc/<pid>/fd/<nr>
to /.

This patch changes the logic to first resolve any bind-mounts. After the
bind-mounts have been resolved (i.e. we have traced it back to the
associated devpts mount) devpts_ptmx_path() can be called. In order to
guarantee correct path generation for the slave file descriptor the kernel
now requires that a pts directory is found in the parent directory of the
ptmx bind-mount. This implies that when doing bind-mounts the ptmx
bind-mount and the devpts mount should have a common parent directory. A
valid example is:

mount -t devpts devpts /dev/pts
mount --bind /dev/pts/ptmx /dev/ptmx

an invalid example is:

mount -t devpts devpts /dev/pts
mount --bind /dev/pts/ptmx /ptmx

This allows us to support:
- calling open on ptmx devices located inside non-standard devpts mounts:
  mount -t devpts devpts /mnt
  master = open("/mnt/ptmx", ...);
  slave = ioctl(master, TIOCGPTPEER, ...);
- calling open on ptmx devices located outside the devpts mount with a
  common ancestor directory:
  mount -t devpts devpts /dev/pts
  mount --bind /dev/pts/ptmx /dev/ptmx
  master = open("/dev/ptmx", ...);
  slave = ioctl(master, TIOCGPTPEER, ...);

while failing on ptmx devices located outside the devpts mount without a
common ancestor directory:
  mount -t devpts devpts /dev/pts
  mount --bind /dev/pts/ptmx /ptmx
  master = open("/ptmx", ...);
  slave = ioctl(master, TIOCGPTPEER, ...);

in which case save path generation cannot be guaranteed.

Eric W. BiedermanandLinus Torvalds 311fc65c9f pty: Repair TIOCGPTPEER
The implementation of TIOCGPTPEER has two issues.

When /dev/ptmx (as opposed to /dev/pts/ptmx) is opened the wrong
vfsmount is passed to dentry_open.  Which results in the kernel displaying
the wrong pathname for the peer.

The second is simply by caching the vfsmount and dentry of the peer it leaves
them open, in a way they were not previously Which because of the inreased
reference counts can cause unnecessary behaviour differences resulting in
regressions.

To fix these move the ioctl into tty_io.c at a generic level allowing
the ioctl to have access to the struct file on which the ioctl is
being called.  This allows the path of the slave to be derived when
opening the slave through TIOCGPTPEER instead of requiring the path to
the slave be cached.  Thus removing the need for caching the path.

A new function devpts_ptmx_path is factored out of devpts_acquire and
used to implement a function devpts_mntget.   The new function devpts_mntget
takes a filp to perform the lookup on and fsi so that it can confirm
that the superblock that is found by devpts_ptmx_path is the proper superblock.

v2: Lots of fixes to make the code actually work
v3: Suggestions by Linus
    - Removed the unnecessary initialization of filp in ptm_open_peer
    - Simplified devpts_ptmx_path as gotos are no longer required

[ This is the fix for the issue that was reverted in commit
  143c97cc65, but this time without breaking 'pbuilder' due to
  increased reference counts   - Linus ]
