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 *".

Jeff LaytonandChristian Brauner 1602bad16d vfs: expose delegation support to userland
Now that support for recallable directory delegations is available,
expose this functionality to userland with new F_SETDELEG and F_GETDELEG
commands for fcntl().

Note that this also allows userland to request a FL_DELEG type lease on
files too. Userland applications that do will get signalled when there
are metadata changes in addition to just data changes (which is a
limitation of FL_LEASE leases).

These commands accept a new "struct delegation" argument that contains a
flags field for future expansion.

All it takes to get rid of the __FMODE_NONOTIFY kludge is switching

Pull vfs file updates from Christian Brauner:
 "This contains changes the changes for files for this cycle:

   - Introduce a new reference counting mechanism for files.

     As atomic_inc_not_zero() is implemented with a try_cmpxchg() loop
     it has O(N^2) behaviour under contention with N concurrent
     operations and it is in a hot path in __fget_files_rcu().

     The rcuref infrastructures remedies this problem by using an
     unconditional increment relying on safe- and dead zones to make
     this work and requiring rcu protection for the data structure in
     question. This not just scales better it also introduces overflow
     protection.

     However, in contrast to generic rcuref, files require a memory
     barrier and thus cannot rely on *_relaxed() atomic operations and
     also require to be built on atomic_long_t as having massive amounts
     of reference isn't unheard of even if it is just an attack.

     This adds a file specific variant instead of making this a generic
     library.

     This has been tested by various people and it gives consistent
     improvement up to 3-5% on workloads with loads of threads.

   - Add a fastpath for find_next_zero_bit(). Skip 2-levels searching
     via find_next_zero_bit() when there is a free slot in the word that
     contains the next fd. This improves pts/blogbench-1.1.0 read by 8%
     and write by 4% on Intel ICX 160.

   - Conditionally clear full_fds_bits since it's very likely that a bit
     in full_fds_bits has been cleared during __clear_open_fds(). This
     improves pts/blogbench-1.1.0 read up to 13%, and write up to 5% on
     Intel ICX 160.

   - Get rid of all lookup_*_fdget_rcu() variants. They were used to
     lookup files without taking a reference count. That became invalid
     once files were switched to SLAB_TYPESAFE_BY_RCU and now we're
     always taking a reference count. Switch to an already existing
     helper and remove the legacy variants.

   - Remove pointless includes of <linux/fdtable.h>.

   - Avoid cmpxchg() in close_files() as nobody else has a reference to
     the files_struct at that point.

   - Move close_range() into fs/file.c and fold __close_range() into it.

   - Cleanup calling conventions of alloc_fdtable() and expand_files().

   - Merge __{set,clear}_close_on_exec() into one.

   - Make __set_open_fd() set cloexec as well instead of doing it in two
     separate steps"

Christian Brauner 2714b0d1f3 fcntl: make F_DUPFD_QUERY associative
Currently when passing a closed file descriptor to
fcntl(fd, F_DUPFD_QUERY, fd_dup) the order matters:

    fd = open("/dev/null");
    fd_dup = dup(fd);

When we now close one of the file descriptors we get:

    (1) fcntl(fd, fd_dup) // -EBADF
    (2) fcntl(fd_dup, fd) // 0 aka not equal

depending on which file descriptor is passed first. That's not a huge
deal but it gives the api I slightly weird feel. Make it so that the
order doesn't matter by requiring that both file descriptors are valid:

(1') fcntl(fd, fd_dup) // -EBADF
(2') fcntl(fd_dup, fd) // -EBADF

Pull lsm updates from Paul Moore:

 - Move the LSM framework to static calls

   This transitions the vast majority of the LSM callbacks into static
   calls. Those callbacks which haven't been converted were left as-is
   due to the general ugliness of the changes required to support the
   static call conversion; we can revisit those callbacks at a future
   date.

 - Add the Integrity Policy Enforcement (IPE) LSM

   This adds a new LSM, Integrity Policy Enforcement (IPE). There is
   plenty of documentation about IPE in this patches, so I'll refrain
   from going into too much detail here, but the basic motivation behind
   IPE is to provide a mechanism such that administrators can restrict
   execution to only those binaries which come from integrity protected
   storage, e.g. a dm-verity protected filesystem. You will notice that
   IPE requires additional LSM hooks in the initramfs, dm-verity, and
   fs-verity code, with the associated patches carrying ACK/review tags
   from the associated maintainers. We couldn't find an obvious
   maintainer for the initramfs code, but the IPE patchset has been
   widely posted over several years.

   Both Deven Bowers and Fan Wu have contributed to IPE's development
   over the past several years, with Fan Wu agreeing to serve as the IPE
   maintainer moving forward. Once IPE is accepted into your tree, I'll
   start working with Fan to ensure he has the necessary accounts, keys,
   etc. so that he can start submitting IPE pull requests to you
   directly during the next merge window.

 - Move the lifecycle management of the LSM blobs to the LSM framework

   Management of the LSM blobs (the LSM state buffers attached to
   various kernel structs, typically via a void pointer named "security"
   or similar) has been mixed, some blobs were allocated/managed by
   individual LSMs, others were managed by the LSM framework itself.

   Starting with this pull we move management of all the LSM blobs,
   minus the XFRM blob, into the framework itself, improving consistency
   across LSMs, and reducing the amount of duplicated code across LSMs.
   Due to some additional work required to migrate the XFRM blob, it has
   been left as a todo item for a later date; from a practical
   standpoint this omission should have little impact as only SELinux
   provides a XFRM LSM implementation.

 - Fix problems with the LSM's handling of F_SETOWN

   The LSM hook for the fcntl(F_SETOWN) operation had a couple of
   problems: it was racy with itself, and it was disconnected from the
   associated DAC related logic in such a way that the LSM state could
   be updated in cases where the DAC state would not. We fix both of
   these problems by moving the security_file_set_fowner() hook into the
   same section of code where the DAC attributes are updated. Not only
   does this resolve the DAC/LSM synchronization issue, but as that code
   block is protected by a lock, it also resolve the race condition.

 - Fix potential problems with the security_inode_free() LSM hook

   Due to use of RCU to protect inodes and the placement of the LSM hook
   associated with freeing the inode, there is a bit of a challenge when
   it comes to managing any LSM state associated with an inode. The VFS
   folks are not open to relocating the LSM hook so we have to get
   creative when it comes to releasing an inode's LSM state.
   Traditionally we have used a single LSM callback within the hook that
   is triggered when the inode is "marked for death", but not actually
   released due to RCU.

   Unfortunately, this causes problems for LSMs which want to take an
   action when the inode's associated LSM state is actually released; so
   we add an additional LSM callback, inode_free_security_rcu(), that is
   called when the inode's LSM state is released in the RCU free
   callback.

 - Refactor two LSM hooks to better fit the LSM return value patterns

   The vast majority of the LSM hooks follow the "return 0 on success,
   negative values on failure" pattern, however, there are a small
   handful that have unique return value behaviors which has caused
   confusion in the past and makes it difficult for the BPF verifier to
   properly vet BPF LSM programs. This includes patches to
   convert two of these"special" LSM hooks to the common 0/-ERRNO pattern.

 - Various cleanups and improvements

   A handful of patches to remove redundant code, better leverage the
   IS_ERR_OR_NULL() helper, add missing "static" markings, and do some
   minor style fixups.

Linus Torvalds 3352633ce6 Merge tag 'vfs-6.12.file' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/vfs/vfs
Pull vfs file updates from Christian Brauner:
 "This is the work to cleanup and shrink struct file significantly.

  Right now, (focusing on x86) struct file is 232 bytes. After this
  series struct file will be 184 bytes aka 3 cacheline and a spare 8
  bytes for future extensions at the end of the struct.

  With struct file being as ubiquitous as it is this should make a
  difference for file heavy workloads and allow further optimizations in
  the future.

   - struct fown_struct was embedded into struct file letting it take up
     32 bytes in total when really it shouldn't even be embedded in
     struct file in the first place. Instead, actual users of struct
     fown_struct now allocate the struct on demand. This frees up 24
     bytes.

   - Move struct file_ra_state into the union containg the cleanup hooks
     and move f_iocb_flags out of the union. This closes a 4 byte hole
     we created earlier and brings struct file to 192 bytes. Which means
     struct file is 3 cachelines and we managed to shrink it by 40
     bytes.

   - Reorder struct file so that nothing crosses a cacheline.

     I suspect that in the future we will end up reordering some members
     to mitigate false sharing issues or just because someone does
     actually provide really good perf data.

   - Shrinking struct file to 192 bytes is only part of the work.

     Files use a slab that is SLAB_TYPESAFE_BY_RCU and when a kmem cache
     is created with SLAB_TYPESAFE_BY_RCU the free pointer must be
     located outside of the object because the cache doesn't know what
     part of the memory can safely be overwritten as it may be needed to
     prevent object recycling.

     That has the consequence that SLAB_TYPESAFE_BY_RCU may end up
     adding a new cacheline.

     So this also contains work to add a new kmem_cache_create_rcu()
     function that allows the caller to specify an offset where the
     freelist pointer is supposed to be placed. Thus avoiding the
     implicit addition of a fourth cacheline.

   - And finally this removes the f_version member in struct file.

     The f_version member isn't particularly well-defined. It is mainly
     used as a cookie to detect concurrent seeks when iterating
     directories. But it is also abused by some subsystems for
     completely unrelated things.

     It is mostly a directory and filesystem specific thing that doesn't
     really need to live in struct file and with its wonky semantics it
     really lacks a specific function.

     For pipes, f_version is (ab)used to defer poll notifications until
     a write has happened. And struct pipe_inode_info is used by
     multiple struct files in their ->private_data so there's no chance
     of pushing that down into file->private_data without introducing
     another pointer indirection.

     But pipes don't rely on f_pos_lock so this adds a union into struct
     file encompassing f_pos_lock and a pipe specific f_pipe member that
     pipes can use. This union of course can be extended to other file
     types and is similar to what we do in struct inode already"

Mickaël SalaünandPaul Moore 26f204380a fs: Fix file_set_fowner LSM hook inconsistencies
The fcntl's F_SETOWN command sets the process that handle SIGIO/SIGURG
for the related file descriptor.  Before this change, the
file_set_fowner LSM hook was always called, ignoring the VFS logic which
may not actually change the process that handles SIGIO (e.g. TUN, TTY,
dnotify), nor update the related UID/EUID.

Moreover, because security_file_set_fowner() was called without lock
(e.g. f_owner.lock), concurrent F_SETOWN commands could result to a race
condition and inconsistent LSM states (e.g. SELinux's fown_sid) compared
to struct fown_struct's UID/EUID.

This change makes sure the LSM states are always in sync with the VFS
state by moving the security_file_set_fowner() call close to the
UID/EUID updates and using the same f_owner.lock .

Rename f_modown() to __f_setown() to simplify code.

Christian Brauner 1934b21261 file: reclaim 24 bytes from f_owner
We do embedd struct fown_struct into struct file letting it take up 32
bytes in total. We could tweak struct fown_struct to be more compact but
really it shouldn't even be embedded in struct file in the first place.

Instead, actual users of struct fown_struct should allocate the struct
on demand. This frees up 24 bytes in struct file.

That will have some potentially user-visible changes for the ownership
fcntl()s. Some of them can now fail due to allocation failures.
Practically, that probably will almost never happen as the allocations
are small and they only happen once per file.

The fown_struct is used during kill_fasync() which is used by e.g.,
pipes to generate a SIGIO signal. Sending of such signals is conditional
on userspace having set an owner for the file using one of the F_OWNER
fcntl()s. Such users will be unaffected if struct fown_struct is
allocated during the fcntl() call.

There are a few subsystems that call __f_setown() expecting
file->f_owner to be allocated:

(1) tun devices
    file->f_op->fasync::tun_chr_fasync()
    -> __f_setown()

    There are no callers of tun_chr_fasync().

(2) tty devices

    file->f_op->fasync::tty_fasync()
    -> __tty_fasync()
       -> __f_setown()

    tty_fasync() has no additional callers but __tty_fasync() has. Note
    that __tty_fasync() only calls __f_setown() if the @on argument is
    true. It's called from:

    file->f_op->release::tty_release()
    -> tty_release()
       -> __tty_fasync()
          -> __f_setown()

    tty_release() calls __tty_fasync() with @on false
    => __f_setown() is never called from tty_release().
       => All callers of tty_release() are safe as well.

    file->f_op->release::tty_open()
    -> tty_release()
       -> __tty_fasync()
          -> __f_setown()

    __tty_hangup() calls __tty_fasync() with @on false
    => __f_setown() is never called from tty_release().
       => All callers of __tty_hangup() are safe as well.

From the callchains it's obvious that (1) and (2) end up getting called
via file->f_op->fasync(). That can happen either through the F_SETFL
fcntl() with the FASYNC flag raised or via the FIOASYNC ioctl(). If
FASYNC is requested and the file isn't already FASYNC then
file->f_op->fasync() is called with @on true which ends up causing both
(1) and (2) to call __f_setown().

(1) and (2) are the only subsystems that call __f_setown() from the
file->f_op->fasync() handler. So both (1) and (2) have been updated to
allocate a struct fown_struct prior to calling fasync_helper() to
register with the fasync infrastructure. That's safe as they both call
fasync_helper() which also does allocations if @on is true.

The other interesting case are file leases:

(3) file leases
    lease_manager_ops->lm_setup::lease_setup()
    -> __f_setown()

    Which in turn is called from:

    generic_add_lease()
    -> lease_manager_ops->lm_setup::lease_setup()
       -> __f_setown()

So here again we can simply make generic_add_lease() allocate struct
fown_struct prior to the lease_manager_ops->lm_setup::lease_setup()
which happens under a spinlock.

With that the two remaining subsystems that call __f_setown() are:

(4) dnotify
(5) sockets

Both have their own custom ioctls to set struct fown_struct and both
have been converted to allocate a struct fown_struct on demand from
their respective ioctls.

Interactions with O_PATH are fine as well e.g., when opening a /dev/tty
as O_PATH then no file->f_op->open() happens thus no file->f_owner is
allocated. That's fine as no file operation will be set for those and
the device has never been opened. fcntl()s called on such things will
just allocate a ->f_owner on demand. Although I have zero idea why'd you
care about f_owner on an O_PATH fd.

Christian Brauner 820a185896 fcntl: add F_CREATED_QUERY
Systemd has a helper called openat_report_new() that returns whether a
file was created anew or it already existed before for cases where
O_CREAT has to be used without O_EXCL (cf. [1]). That apparently isn't
something that's specific to systemd but it's where I noticed it.

The current logic is that it first attempts to open the file without
O_CREAT | O_EXCL and if it gets ENOENT the helper tries again with both
flags. If that succeeds all is well. If it now reports EEXIST it
retries.

That works fairly well but some corner cases make this more involved. If
this operates on a dangling symlink the first openat() without O_CREAT |
O_EXCL will return ENOENT but the second openat() with O_CREAT | O_EXCL
will fail with EEXIST. The reason is that openat() without O_CREAT |
O_EXCL follows the symlink while O_CREAT | O_EXCL doesn't for security
reasons. So it's not something we can really change unless we add an
explicit opt-in via O_FOLLOW which seems really ugly.

The caller could try and use fanotify() to register to listen for
creation events in the directory before calling openat(). The caller
could then compare the returned tid to its own tid to ensure that even
in threaded environments it actually created the file. That might work
but is a lot of work for something that should be fairly simple and I'm
uncertain about it's reliability.

The caller could use a bpf lsm hook to hook into security_file_open() to
figure out whether they created the file. That also seems a bit wild.

So let's add F_CREATED_QUERY which allows the caller to check whether
they actually did create the file. That has caveats of course but I
don't think they are problematic:

* In multi-threaded environments a thread can only be sure that it did
  create the file if it calls openat() with O_CREAT. In other words,
  it's obviously not enough to just go through it's fdtable and check
  these fds because another thread could've created the file.

* If there's any codepaths where an openat() with O_CREAT would yield
  the same struct file as that of another thread it would obviously
  cause wrong results. I'm not aware of any such codepaths from openat()
  itself. Imho, that would be a bug.

* Related to the previous point, calling the new fcntl() on files created
  and opened via special-purpose system calls or ioctl()s would cause
  wrong results only if the affected subsystem a) raises FMODE_CREATED
  and b) may return the same struct file for two different calls. I'm
  not seeing anything outside of regular VFS code that raises
  FMODE_CREATED.

  There is code for b) in e.g., the drm layer where the same struct file
  is resurfaced but again FMODE_CREATED isn't used and it would be very
  misleading if it did.

Al Viro 1da91ea87a introduce fd_file(), convert all accessors to it.
For any changes of struct fd representation we need to
turn existing accesses to fields into calls of wrappers.
Accesses to struct fd::flags are very few (3 in linux/file.h,
1 in net/socket.c, 3 in fs/overlayfs/file.c and 3 more in
explicit initializers).
	Those can be dealt with in the commit converting to
new layout; accesses to struct fd::file are too many for that.
	This commit converts (almost) all of f.file to
fd_file(f).  It's not entirely mechanical ('file' is used as
a member name more than just in struct fd) and it does not
even attempt to distinguish the uses in pointer context from
those in boolean context; the latter will be eventually turned
into a separate helper (fd_empty()).

	NOTE: mass conversion to fd_empty(), tempting as it
might be, is a bad idea; better do that piecewise in commit
that convert from fdget...() to CLASS(...).

Linus TorvaldsandChristian Brauner c62b758bae fcntl: add F_DUPFD_QUERY fcntl()
Often userspace needs to know whether two file descriptors refer to the
same struct file. For example, systemd uses this to filter out duplicate
file descriptors in it's file descriptor store (cf. [1]) and vulkan uses
it to compare dma-buf fds (cf. [2]).

The only api we provided for this was kcmp() but that's not generally
available or might be disallowed because it is way more powerful (allows
ordering of file pointers, operates on non-current task) etc. So give
userspace a simple way of comparing two file descriptors for sameness
adding a new fcntl() F_DUDFD_QUERY.

Linus Torvalds 54126fafea Merge tag 'vfs-6.9.iomap' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/vfs/vfs
Pull iomap updates from Christian Brauner:

 - Restore read-write hints in struct bio through the bi_write_hint
   member for the sake of UFS devices in mobile applications. This can
   result in up to 40% lower write amplification in UFS devices. The
   patch series that builds on this will be coming in via the SCSI
   maintainers (Bart)

 - Overhaul the iomap writeback code. Afterwards ->map_blocks() is able
   to map multiple blocks at once as long as they're in the same folio.
   This reduces CPU usage for buffered write workloads on e.g., xfs on
   systems with lots of cores (Christoph)

 - Record processed bytes in iomap_iter() trace event (Kassey)

 - Extend iomap_writepage_map() trace event after Christoph's
   ->map_block() changes to map mutliple blocks at once (Zhang)

'fasync_free_rcu()' callback. This is mostly intended in attempt to fix weird
https://syzkaller.appspot.com/bug?id=6a64ad907e361e49e92d1c4c114128a1bda2ed7f,

as well. Comments are highly appreciated.

Ever since ae65a5211d ("mm/slab: document kfree() as allowed for
kmem_cache_alloc() objects") kfree() can be used for both kmalloc() and
kmem_cache_alloc() so this is no safe.

Do not backport this to stable, please.
