Linus Torvalds 32a92f8c89 Convert more 'alloc_obj' cases to default GFP_KERNEL arguments
This converts some of the visually simpler cases that have been split
over multiple lines.  I only did the ones that are easy to verify the
resulting diff by having just that final GFP_KERNEL argument on the next
line.

Somebody should probably do a proper coccinelle script for this, but for
me the trivial script actually resulted in an assertion failure in the
middle of the script.  I probably had made it a bit _too_ trivial.

So after fighting that far a while I decided to just do some of the
syntactically simpler cases with variations of the previous 'sed'
scripts.

The more syntactically complex multi-line cases would mostly really want
whitespace cleanup anyway.

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 *".

Linus Torvalds 18b19abc37 Merge tag 'namespace-6.18-rc1' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/vfs/vfs
Pull namespace updates from Christian Brauner:
 "This contains a larger set of changes around the generic namespace
  infrastructure of the kernel.

  Each specific namespace type (net, cgroup, mnt, ...) embedds a struct
  ns_common which carries the reference count of the namespace and so
  on.

  We open-coded and cargo-culted so many quirks for each namespace type
  that it just wasn't scalable anymore. So given there's a bunch of new
  changes coming in that area I've started cleaning all of this up.

  The core change is to make it possible to correctly initialize every
  namespace uniformly and derive the correct initialization settings
  from the type of the namespace such as namespace operations, namespace
  type and so on. This leaves the new ns_common_init() function with a
  single parameter which is the specific namespace type which derives
  the correct parameters statically. This also means the compiler will
  yell as soon as someone does something remotely fishy.

  The ns_common_init() addition also allows us to remove ns_alloc_inum()
  and drops any special-casing of the initial network namespace in the
  network namespace initialization code that Linus complained about.

  Another part is reworking the reference counting. The reference
  counting was open-coded and copy-pasted for each namespace type even
  though they all followed the same rules. This also removes all open
  accesses to the reference count and makes it private and only uses a
  very small set of dedicated helpers to manipulate them just like we do
  for e.g., files.

  In addition this generalizes the mount namespace iteration
  infrastructure introduced a few cycles ago. As reminder, the vfs makes
  it possible to iterate sequentially and bidirectionally through all
  mount namespaces on the system or all mount namespaces that the caller
  holds privilege over. This allow userspace to iterate over all mounts
  in all mount namespaces using the listmount() and statmount() system
  call.

  Each mount namespace has a unique identifier for the lifetime of the
  systems that is exposed to userspace. The network namespace also has a
  unique identifier working exactly the same way. This extends the
  concept to all other namespace types.

  The new nstree type makes it possible to lookup namespaces purely by
  their identifier and to walk the namespace list sequentially and
  bidirectionally for all namespace types, allowing userspace to iterate
  through all namespaces. Looking up namespaces in the namespace tree
  works completely locklessly.

  This also means we can move the mount namespace onto the generic
  infrastructure and remove a bunch of code and members from struct
  mnt_namespace itself.

  There's a bunch of stuff coming on top of this in the future but for
  now this uses the generic namespace tree to extend a concept
  introduced first for pidfs a few cycles ago. For a while now we have
  supported pidfs file handles for pidfds. This has proven to be very
  useful.

  This extends the concept to cover namespaces as well. It is possible
  to encode and decode namespace file handles using the common
  name_to_handle_at() and open_by_handle_at() apis.

  As with pidfs file handles, namespace file handles are exhaustive,
  meaning it is not required to actually hold a reference to nsfs in
  able to decode aka open_by_handle_at() a namespace file handle.
  Instead the FD_NSFS_ROOT constant can be passed which will let the
  kernel grab a reference to the root of nsfs internally and thus decode
  the file handle.

  Namespaces file descriptors can already be derived from pidfds which
  means they aren't subject to overmount protection bugs. IOW, it's
  irrelevant if the caller would not have access to an appropriate
  /proc/<pid>/ns/ directory as they could always just derive the
  namespace based on a pidfd already.

  It has the same advantage as pidfds. It's possible to reliably and for
  the lifetime of the system refer to a namespace without pinning any
  resources and to compare them trivially.

  Permission checking is kept simple. If the caller is located in the
  namespace the file handle refers to they are able to open it otherwise
  they must hold privilege over the owning namespace of the relevant
  namespace.

  The namespace file handle layout is exposed as uapi and has a stable
  and extensible format. For now it simply contains the namespace
  identifier, the namespace type, and the inode number. The stable
  format means that userspace may construct its own namespace file
  handles without going through name_to_handle_at() as they are already
  allowed for pidfs and cgroup file handles"

Christian Brauner e83f0b5d10 nsfs: support exhaustive file handles
Pidfd file handles are exhaustive meaning they don't require a handle on
another pidfd to pass to open_by_handle_at() so it can derive the
filesystem to decode in. Instead it can be derived from the file
handle itself. The same is possible for namespace file handles.

Amir GoldsteinandChristian Brauner bb585591eb fhandle: use more consistent rules for decoding file handle from userns
Commit 620c266f39 ("fhandle: relax open_by_handle_at() permission
checks") relaxed the coditions for decoding a file handle from non init
userns.

The conditions are that that decoded dentry is accessible from the user
provided mountfd (or to fs root) and that all the ancestors along the
path have a valid id mapping in the userns.

These conditions are intentionally more strict than the condition that
the decoded dentry should be "lookable" by path from the mountfd.

For example, the path /home/amir/dir/subdir is lookable by path from
unpriv userns of user amir, because /home perms is 755, but the owner of
/home does not have a valid id mapping in unpriv userns of user amir.

The current code did not check that the decoded dentry itself has a
valid id mapping in the userns.  There is no security risk in that,
because that final open still performs the needed permission checks,
but this is inconsistent with the checks performed on the ancestors,
so the behavior can be a bit confusing.

Add the check for the decoded dentry itself, so that the entire path,
including the last component has a valid id mapping in the userns.

Thomas BertschingerandChristian Brauner b5ca88927e fhandle: do_handle_open() should get FD with user flags
In f07c7cc468, do_handle_open() was switched to use the automatic
cleanup method for getting a FD. In that change it was also switched
to pass O_CLOEXEC unconditionally to get_unused_fd_flags() instead
of passing the user-specified flags.

I don't see anything in that commit description that indicates this was
intentional, so I am assuming it was an oversight.

With this fix, the FD will again be opened with, or without, O_CLOEXEC
according to what the user requested.

Al ViroandChristian Brauner a683a5b2ba fold fs_struct->{lock,seq} into a seqlock
The combination of spinlock_t lock and seqcount_spinlock_t seq
in struct fs_struct is an open-coded seqlock_t (see linux/seqlock_types.h).
	Combine and switch to equivalent seqlock_t primitives.  AFAICS,
that does end up with the same sequence of underlying operations in all
cases.
	While we are at it, get_fs_pwd() is open-coded verbatim in
get_path_from_fd(); rather than applying conversion to it, replace with
the call of get_fs_pwd() there.  Not worth splitting the commit for that,
IMO...

	A bit of historical background - conversion of seqlock_t to
use of seqcount_spinlock_t happened several months after the same
had been done to struct fs_struct; switching fs_struct to seqlock_t
could've been done immediately after that, but it looks like nobody
had gotten around to that until now.

Christian Brauner b95361481b fhandle, pidfs: support open_by_handle_at() purely based on file handle
Various filesystems such as pidfs (and likely drm in the future) have a
use-case to support opening files purely based on the handle without
having to require a file descriptor to another object. That's especially
the case for filesystems that don't do any lookup whatsoever and there's
zero relationship between the objects. Such filesystems are also
singletons that stay around for the lifetime of the system meaning that
they can be uniquely identified and accessed purely based on the file
handle type. Enable that so that userspace doesn't have to allocate an
object needlessly especially if they can't do that for whatever reason.

accessible (to capable user) from mount fd path.

Note that this does not check if the path is accessible to the calling
user, just that it is accessible wrt the mount namesapce, so if there
is no "connected" alias, or if parts of the path are hidden in the
mount namespace, open_by_handle_at(2) will return -ESTALE.

nfsd encodes "connectable" file handles for the subtree_check feature,
which can be resolved to an open file with a connected path.
So far, userspace nfs server could not make use of this functionality.

Introduce a new flag AT_HANDLE_CONNECTABLE to name_to_handle_at(2).
When used, the encoded file handle is "explicitly connectable".

The "explicitly connectable" file handle sets bits in the high 16bit of
the handle_type field, so open_by_handle_at(2) will know that it needs
to open a file with a connected path.

old kernels will now recognize the handle_type with high bits set,
so "explicitly connectable" file handles cannot be decoded by
open_by_handle_at(2) on old kernels.

The flag AT_HANDLE_CONNECTABLE is not allowed together with either
AT_HANDLE_FID or AT_EMPTY_PATH.
