This reverts commit 8243186f0c ("fs: remove ksys_dup()") and the
subsequent fix for it in commit 2d3145f8d2 ("early init: fix error
handling when opening /dev/console").
Trying to use filp_open() and f_dupfd() instead of pseudo-syscalls
caused more trouble than what is worth it: it requires accessing vfs
internals and it turns out there were other bugs in it too.
In particular, the file reference counting was wrong - because unlike
the original "open+2*dup" sequence it used "filp_open+3*f_dupfd" and
thus had an extra leaked file reference.
That in turn then caused odd problems with Androidx86 long after boot
becaue of how the extra reference to the console kept the session active
even after all file descriptors had been closed.

====================
pull-request: bpf-next 2019-12-27
The following pull-request contains BPF updates for your *net-next* tree.
We've added 127 non-merge commits during the last 17 day(s) which contain
a total of 110 files changed, 6901 insertions(+), 2721 deletions(-).
There are three merge conflicts. Conflicts and resolution looks as follows:
1) Merge conflict in net/bpf/test_run.c:
There was a tree-wide cleanup c593642c8b ("treewide: Use sizeof_field() macro")
which gets in the way with b590cb5f80 ("bpf: Switch to offsetofend in
BPF_PROG_TEST_RUN"):
<<<<<<< HEAD
if (!range_is_zero(__skb, offsetof(struct __sk_buff, priority) +
sizeof_field(struct __sk_buff, priority),
=======
if (!range_is_zero(__skb, offsetofend(struct __sk_buff, priority),
>>>>>>> 7c8dce4b16
There are a few occasions that look similar to this. Always take the chunk with
offsetofend(). Note that there is one where the fields differ in here:
<<<<<<< HEAD
if (!range_is_zero(__skb, offsetof(struct __sk_buff, tstamp) +
sizeof_field(struct __sk_buff, tstamp),
=======
if (!range_is_zero(__skb, offsetofend(struct __sk_buff, gso_segs),
>>>>>>> 7c8dce4b16
Just take the one with offsetofend() /and/ gso_segs. Latter is correct due to
850a88cc40 ("bpf: Expose __sk_buff wire_len/gso_segs to BPF_PROG_TEST_RUN").
2) Merge conflict in arch/riscv/net/bpf_jit_comp.c:
(I'm keeping Bjorn in Cc here for a double-check in case I got it wrong.)
<<<<<<< HEAD
if (is_13b_check(off, insn))
return -1;
emit(rv_blt(tcc, RV_REG_ZERO, off >> 1), ctx);
=======
emit_branch(BPF_JSLT, RV_REG_T1, RV_REG_ZERO, off, ctx);
>>>>>>> 7c8dce4b16
Result should look like:
emit_branch(BPF_JSLT, tcc, RV_REG_ZERO, off, ctx);
3) Merge conflict in arch/riscv/include/asm/pgtable.h:
<<<<<<< HEAD
=======

#define VMALLOC_START (PAGE_OFFSET - VMALLOC_SIZE)

Only take the BPF_* defines from there and move them higher up in the
same file. Remove the rest from the chunk. The VMALLOC_* etc defines
got moved via 01f52e16b8 ("riscv: define vmemmap before pfn_to_page

Let me know if there are any other issues.
Anyway, the main changes are:
1) Extend bpftool to produce a struct (aka "skeleton") tailored and specific
to a provided BPF object file. This provides an alternative, simplified API
compared to standard libbpf interaction. Also, add libbpf extern variable
resolution for .kconfig section to import Kconfig data, from Andrii Nakryiko.
2) Add BPF dispatcher for XDP which is a mechanism to avoid indirect calls by
generating a branch funnel as discussed back in bpfconf'19 at LSF/MM. Also,
add various BPF riscv JIT improvements, from Björn Töpel.
3) Extend bpftool to allow matching BPF programs and maps by name,
from Paul Chaignon.
4) Support for replacing cgroup BPF programs attached with BPF_F_ALLOW_MULTI
flag for allowing updates without service interruption, from Andrey Ignatov.
5) Cleanup and simplification of ring access functions for AF_XDP with a
bonus of 0-5% performance improvement, from Magnus Karlsson.
6) Enable BPF JITs for x86-64 and arm64 by default. Also, final version of
audit support for BPF, from Daniel Borkmann and latter with Jiri Olsa.
7) Move and extend test_select_reuseport into BPF program tests under
BPF selftests, from Jakub Sitnicki.
8) Various BPF sample improvements for xdpsock for customizing parameters
to set up and benchmark AF_XDP, from Jay Jayatheerthan.
9) Improve libbpf to provide a ulimit hint on permission denied errors.
Also change XDP sample programs to attach in driver mode by default,
from Toke Høiland-Jørgensen.
10) Extend BPF test infrastructure to allow changing skb mark from tc BPF
programs, from Nikita V. Shirokov.
11) Optimize prologue code sequence in BPF arm32 JIT, from Russell King.
12) Fix xdp_redirect_cpu BPF sample to manually attach to tracepoints after
libbpf conversion, from Jesper Dangaard Brouer.
13) Minor misc improvements from various others.

The comment says "this should never fail", but it definitely can fail
when you have odd initial boot filesystems, or kernel configurations.
So get the error handling right: filp_open() returns an error pointer.

Signed-off-by: Linus Torvalds <torvalds@linux-foundation.org>
ksys_dup() is used only at one place in the kernel, namely to duplicate
fd 0 of /dev/console to stdout and stderr. The same functionality can be
achieved by using functions already available within the kernel namespace.
Signed-off-by: Dominik Brodowski <linux@dominikbrodowski.net>
In prepare_namespace(), do_mount() can be used instead of ksys_mount()
as the first and third argument are const strings in the kernel, the
second and fourth argument are passed through anyway, and the fifth
argument is NULL.
In do_mount_root(), ksys_mount() is called with the first and third
argument being already kernelspace strings, which do not need to be
copied over from userspace to kernelspace (again). The second and
fourth arguments are passed through to do_mount() anyway. The fifth
argument, while already residing in kernelspace, needs to be put into
a page of its own. Then, do_mount() can be used instead of
ksys_mount().
Once this is done, there are no in-kernel users to ksys_mount() left,
which can therefore be removed.

All three calls to ksys_mount() in initrd-related kernel code can
be switched over to do_mount():
- the first and third arguments are const strings in the kernel,

After Spectre 2 fix via 290af86629 ("bpf: introduce BPF_JIT_ALWAYS_ON
config") most major distros use BPF_JIT_ALWAYS_ON configuration these days
which compiles out the BPF interpreter entirely and always enables the
JIT. Also given recent fix in e1608f3fa8 ("bpf: Avoid setting bpf insns
pages read-only when prog is jited"), we additionally avoid fragmenting
the direct map for the BPF insns pages sitting in the general data heap
since they are not used during execution. Latter is only needed when run
through the interpreter.
Since both x86 and arm64 JITs have seen a lot of exposure over the years,
are generally most up to date and maintained, there is more downside in
!BPF_JIT_ALWAYS_ON configurations to have the interpreter enabled by default
rather than the JIT. Add a ARCH_WANT_DEFAULT_BPF_JIT config which archs can
use to set the bpf_jit_{enable,kallsyms} to 1. Back in the days the
bpf_jit_kallsyms knob was set to 0 by default since major distros still
had /proc/kallsyms addresses exposed to unprivileged user space which is
not the case anymore. Hence both knobs are set via BPF_JIT_DEFAULT_ON which
is set to 'y' in case of BPF_JIT_ALWAYS_ON or ARCH_WANT_DEFAULT_BPF_JIT.

Pull sysctl system call removal from Eric Biederman:
"As far as I can tell we have reached the point where no one enables
the sysctl system call anymore. It still is enabled in a few
defconfigs but they are mostly the rarely used one and in asking
people about that it was more cut & paste enabled than anything else.
This is single commit that just deletes code. Leaving just enough code
so that the deprecated sysctl warning continues to be printed. If my
analysis turns out to be wrong and someone actually cares it will be
easy to revert this commit and have the system call again.
There was one new xtensa defconfig in linux-next that enabled the
system call this cycle and when asked about it the maintainer of the
code replied that it was not enabled on purpose. As of today's
linux-next tree that defconfig no longer enables the system call.
What we saw in the review discussion was that if we go a step farther
than my patch and mess with uapi headers there are pieces of code that
won't compile, but nothing minds the system call actually disappearing
from the kernel"

Summary:
- On ARMv8 CPUs without hardware updates of the access flag, avoid
failing cow_user_page() on PFN mappings if the pte is old. The
patches introduce an arch_faults_on_old_pte() macro, defined as
false on x86. When true, cow_user_page() makes the pte young before
attempting __copy_from_user_inatomic().
- Covert the synchronous exception handling paths in
arch/arm64/kernel/entry.S to C.
- FTRACE_WITH_REGS support for arm64.
- ZONE_DMA re-introduced on arm64 to support Raspberry Pi 4
- Several kselftest cases specific to arm64, together with a
MAINTAINERS update for these files (moved to the ARM64 PORT entry).
- Workaround for a Neoverse-N1 erratum where the CPU may fetch stale
instructions under certain conditions.
- Workaround for Cortex-A57 and A72 errata where the CPU may
speculatively execute an AT instruction and associate a VMID with
the wrong guest page tables (corrupting the TLB).
- Perf updates for arm64: additional PMU topologies on HiSilicon
platforms, support for CCN-512 interconnect, AXI ID filtering in

In order to use 128-bit integer arithmetic in C code, the architecture
needs to have declared support for it by setting ARCH_SUPPORTS_INT128,
and it requires a version of the toolchain that supports this at build
time. This is why all existing tests for ARCH_SUPPORTS_INT128 also test
whether __SIZEOF_INT128__ is defined, since this is only the case for
compilers that can support 128-bit integers.
Let's fold this additional test into the Kconfig declaration of
ARCH_SUPPORTS_INT128 so that we can also use the symbol in Makefiles,
e.g., to decide whether a certain object needs to be included in the
first place.

There are both positive and negative options about this feature.
At first, I thought it was a good idea, but actually Linus stated a
negative opinion (https://lkml.org/lkml/2019/9/29/227). I admit it
is ugly and annoying.
The baseline I'd like to keep is the compile-test of uapi headers.
(Otherwise, kernel developers have no way to ensure the correctness
of the exported headers.)

Drop various work-arounds we have for workqueues:
- We no longer need the async_list for tracking sequential IO.
- We don't have to maintain our own mm tracking/setting.
- We don't need a separate workqueue for buffered writes. This didn't
even work that well to begin with, as it was suboptimal for multiple
buffered writers on multiple files.
- We can properly cancel pending interruptible work. This fixes
deadlocks with particularly socket IO, where we cannot cancel them
when the io_uring is closed. Hence the ring will wait forever for
these requests to complete, which may never happen. This is different
from disk IO where we know requests will complete in a finite amount
of time.
- Due to being able to cancel work interruptible work that is already
running, we can implement file table support for work. We need that
for supporting system calls that add to a process file table.
- It gets us one step closer to adding async support for any system
call.

arm64 calls memblock_free() for the initrd area in its implementation of
free_initrd_mem(), but this call has no actual effect that late in the boot
process. By the time initrd is freed, all the reserved memory is managed by
the page allocator and the memblock.reserved is unused, so the only purpose
of the memblock_free() call is to keep track of initrd memory for debugging
and accounting.
Without the memblock_free() call the only difference between arm64 and the
generic versions of free_initrd_mem() is the memory poisoning.
Move memblock_free() call to the generic code, enable it there
for the architectures that define ARCH_KEEP_MEMBLOCK and use the generic
implementation of free_initrd_mem() on arm64.

Pull kernel lockdown mode from James Morris:
"This is the latest iteration of the kernel lockdown patchset, from
Matthew Garrett, David Howells and others.
From the original description:
This patchset introduces an optional kernel lockdown feature,
intended to strengthen the boundary between UID 0 and the kernel.
When enabled, various pieces of kernel functionality are restricted.
Applications that rely on low-level access to either hardware or the
kernel may cease working as a result - therefore this should not be
enabled without appropriate evaluation beforehand.
The majority of mainstream distributions have been carrying variants
of this patchset for many years now, so there's value in providing a
doesn't meet every distribution requirement, but gets us much closer
to not requiring external patches.
There are two major changes since this was last proposed for mainline:
- Separating lockdown from EFI secure boot. Background discussion is
covered here: https://lwn.net/Articles/751061/
- Implementation as an LSM, with a default stackable lockdown LSM
module. This allows the lockdown feature to be policy-driven,
rather than encoding an implicit policy within the mechanism.
The new locked_down LSM hook is provided to allow LSMs to make a
policy decision around whether kernel functionality that would allow
tampering with or examining the runtime state of the kernel should be
permitted.
The included lockdown LSM provides an implementation with a simple
policy intended for general purpose use. This policy provides a coarse
level of granularity, controllable via the kernel command line:
lockdown={integrity|confidentiality}
Enable the kernel lockdown feature. If set to integrity, kernel features
that allow userland to modify the running kernel are disabled. If set to
confidentiality, kernel features that allow userland to extract
confidential information from the kernel are also disabled.
This may also be controlled via /sys/kernel/security/lockdown and
overriden by kernel configuration.
New or existing LSMs may implement finer-grained controls of the
lockdown features. Refer to the lockdown_reason documentation in
include/linux/security.h for details.
The lockdown feature has had signficant design feedback and review
across many subsystems. This code has been in linux-next for some
weeks, with a few fixes applied along the way.

Pull integrity updates from Mimi Zohar:
"The major feature in this time is IMA support for measuring and
appraising appended file signatures. In addition are a couple of bug
fixes and code cleanup to use struct_size().
In addition to the PE/COFF and IMA xattr signatures, the kexec kernel
image may be signed with an appended signature, using the same
scripts/sign-file tool that is used to sign kernel modules.
Similarly, the initramfs may contain an appended signature.
This contained a lot of refactoring of the existing appended signature
verification code, so that IMA could retain the existing framework of
calculating the file hash once, storing it in the IMA measurement list
and extending the TPM, verifying the file's integrity based on a file
hash or signature (eg. xattrs), and adding an audit record containing
the file hash, all based on policy. (The IMA support for appended
signatures patch set was posted and reviewed 11 times.)
The support for appended signature paves the way for adding other
signature verification methods, such as fs-verity, based on a single
system-wide policy. The file hash used for verifying the signature and
the signature, itself, can be included in the IMA measurement list"
