df04abfd18 fs/proc/kcore.c: Add bounce buffer for ktext data
We hit hardened usercopy feature check for kernel text access by reading
kcore file:

  usercopy: kernel memory exposure attempt detected from ffffffff8179a01f (<kernel text>) (4065 bytes)
  kernel BUG at mm/usercopy.c:75!

Bypassing this check for kcore by adding bounce buffer for ktext data.

Next patch adds bounce buffer for ktext area, so it's
convenient to have single bounce buffer for both

 "nvdimm fixes for v4.8, two of them are tagged for -stable:

   - Fix devm_memremap_pages() to use track_pfn_insert().  Otherwise,
     DAX pmd mappings end up with an uncached pgprot, and unusable
     performance for the device-dax interface.  The device-dax interface
     appeared in 4.7 so this is tagged for -stable.

   - Fix a couple VM_BUG_ON() checks in the show_smaps() path to
     understand DAX pmd entries.  This fix is tagged for -stable.

   - Fix a mis-merge of the nfit machine-check handler to flip the
     polarity of an if() to match the final version of the patch that
     Vishal sent for 4.8-rc1.  Without this the nfit machine check
     handler never detects / inserts new 'badblocks' entries which
     applications use to identify lost portions of files.

   - For test purposes, fix the nvdimm_clear_poison() path to operate on
     legacy / simulated nvdimm memory ranges.  Without this fix a test
     can set badblocks, but never clear them on these ranges.

   - Fix the range checking done by dax_dev_pmd_fault().  This is not
     tagged for -stable since this problem is mitigated by specifying
     aligned resources at device-dax setup time.

  These patches have appeared in a next release over the past week.  The
  recent rebase you can see in the timestamps was to drop an invalid fix
  as identified by the updated device-dax unit tests [1].  The -mm
  touches have an ack from Andrew"

519ded5a89 procfs: avoid 32-bit time_t in /proc/*/stat
/proc/stat shows (among lots of other things) the current boottime (i.e.
number of seconds since boot).  While a 32-bit number is sufficient for
this particular case, we want to get rid of the 'struct timespec'
suffers from a 32-bit overflow in 2038.

This changes the code to use a struct timespec64, which is known to be
safe in all cases.

Pull userns vfs updates from Eric Biederman:
 "This tree contains some very long awaited work on generalizing the
  user namespace support for mounting filesystems to include filesystems
  with a backing store.  The real world target is fuse but the goal is
  to update the vfs to allow any filesystem to be supported.  This
  patchset is based on a lot of code review and testing to approach that
  goal.

  While looking at what is needed to support the fuse filesystem it
  became clear that there were things like xattrs for security modules
  that needed special treatment.  That the resolution of those concerns
  would not be fuse specific.  That sorting out these general issues
  made most sense at the generic level, where the right people could be
  drawn into the conversation, and the issues could be solved for
  everyone.

  At a high level what this patchset does a couple of simple things:

   - Add a user namespace owner (s_user_ns) to struct super_block.

   - Teach the vfs to handle filesystem uids and gids not mapping into
     to kuids and kgids and being reported as INVALID_UID and
     INVALID_GID in vfs data structures.

  By assigning a user namespace owner filesystems that are mounted with
  only user namespace privilege can be detected.  This allows security
  modules and the like to know which mounts may not be trusted.  This
  also allows the set of uids and gids that are communicated to the
  filesystem to be capped at the set of kuids and kgids that are in the
  owning user namespace of the filesystem.

  One of the crazier corner casees this handles is the case of inodes
  whose i_uid or i_gid are not mapped into the vfs.  Most of the code
  simply doesn't care but it is easy to confuse the inode writeback path
  so no operation that could cause an inode write-back is permitted for
  such inodes (aka only reads are allowed).

  This set of changes starts out by cleaning up the code paths involved
  in user namespace permirted mounts.  Then when things are clean enough
  adds code that cleanly sets s_user_ns.  Then additional restrictions
  are added that are possible now that the filesystem superblock
  contains owner information.

  These changes should not affect anyone in practice, but there are some
  parts of these restrictions that are changes in behavior.

   - Andy's restriction on suid executables that does not honor the
     suid bit when the path is from another mount namespace (think
     /proc/[pid]/fd/) or when the filesystem was mounted by a less
     privileged user.

   - The replacement of the user namespace implicit setting of MNT_NODEV
     with implicitly setting SB_I_NODEV on the filesystem superblock
     instead.

     Using SB_I_NODEV is a stronger form that happens to make this state
     user invisible.  The user visibility can be managed but it caused
     problems when it was introduced from applications reasonably
     expecting mount flags to be what they were set to.

  There is a little bit of work remaining before it is safe to support
  mounting filesystems with backing store in user namespaces, beyond
  what is in this set of changes.

   - Verifying the mounter has permission to read/write the block device
     during mount.

   - Teaching the integrity modules IMA and EVM to handle filesystems
     mounted with only user namespace root and to reduce trust in their
     security xattrs accordingly.

   - Capturing the mounters credentials and using that for permission
     checks in d_automount and the like.  (Given that overlayfs already
     does this, and we need the work in d_automount it make sense to
     generalize this case).

  Furthermore there are a few changes that are on the wishlist:

   - Get all filesystems supporting posix acls using the generic posix
     acls so that posix_acl_fix_xattr_from_user and
     posix_acl_fix_xattr_to_user may be removed.  [Maintainability]

   - Reducing the permission checks in places such as remount to allow
     the superblock owner to perform them.

   - Allowing the superblock owner to chown files with unmapped uids and
     gids to something that is mapped so the files may be treated
     normally.

  I am not considering even obvious relaxations of permission checks
  until it is clear there are no more corner cases that need to be
  locked down and handled generically.

  Many thanks to Seth Forshee who kept this code alive, and putting up
  with me rewriting substantial portions of what he did to handle more
  corner cases, and for his diligent testing and reviewing of my
  changes"

d30dd8be06 mm: track NR_KERNEL_STACK in KiB instead of number of stacks
Currently, NR_KERNEL_STACK tracks the number of kernel stacks in a zone.
This only makes sense if each kernel stack exists entirely in one zone,
and allowing vmapped stacks could break this assumption.

Since frv has THREAD_SIZE < PAGE_SIZE, we need to track kernel stack
allocations in a unit that divides both THREAD_SIZE and PAGE_SIZE on all
architectures.  Keep it simple and use KiB.

11fb998986 mm: move most file-based accounting to the node
There are now a number of accounting oddities such as mapped file pages
being accounted for on the node while the total number of file pages are
accounted on the zone.  This can be coped with to some extent but it's
confusing so this patch moves the relevant file-based accounted.  Due to
throttling logic in the page allocator for reliable OOM detection, it is
still necessary to track dirty and writeback pages on a per-zone basis.

Reclaim makes decisions based on the number of pages that are mapped but
it's mixing node and zone information.  Account NR_FILE_MAPPED and
NR_ANON_PAGES pages on the node.

44a70adec9 mm, oom_adj: make sure processes sharing mm have same view of oom_score_adj
oom_score_adj is shared for the thread groups (via struct signal) but this
is not sufficient to cover processes sharing mm (CLONE_VM without
CLONE_SIGHAND) and so we can easily end up in a situation when some
processes update their oom_score_adj and confuse the oom killer.  In the
worst case some of those processes might hide from the oom killer
altogether via OOM_SCORE_ADJ_MIN while others are eligible.  OOM killer
would then pick up those eligible but won't be allowed to kill others
sharing the same mm so the mm wouldn't release the mm and so the memory.

It would be ideal to have the oom_score_adj per mm_struct because that is
the natural entity OOM killer considers.  But this will not work because
some programs are doing

	vfork()
	set_oom_adj()
	exec()

We can achieve the same though.  oom_score_adj write handler can set the
oom_score_adj for all processes sharing the same mm if the task is not in
the middle of vfork.  As a result all the processes will share the same
oom_score_adj.  The current implementation is rather pessimistic and
checks all the existing processes by default if there is more than 1
holder of the mm but we do not have any reliable way to check for external
users yet.

1d5f0acbc6 proc, oom_adj: extract oom_score_adj setting into a helper
Currently we have two proc interfaces to set oom_score_adj.  The legacy
/proc/<pid>/oom_adj and /proc/<pid>/oom_score_adj which both have their
specific handlers.  Big part of the logic is duplicated so extract the
common code into __set_oom_adj helper.  Legacy knob still expects some
details slightly different so make sure those are handled same way - e.g.
the legacy mode ignores oom_score_adj_min and it warns about the usage.

This patch shouldn't introduce any functional changes.

f913da596a proc, oom: drop bogus sighand lock
Oleg has pointed out that can simplify both oom_adj_{read,write} and
oom_score_adj_{read,write} even further and drop the sighand lock.  The
main purpose of the lock was to protect p->signal from going away but this
will not happen since ea6d290ca3 ("signals: make task_struct->signal
immutable/refcountable").

The other role of the lock was to synchronize different writers,
especially those with CAP_SYS_RESOURCE.  Introduce a mutex for this
purpose.  Later patches will need this lock anyway.

d49fbf766d proc, oom: drop bogus task_lock and mm check
Series "Handle oom bypass more gracefully", V5

The following 10 patches should put some order to very rare cases of mm
shared between processes and make the paths which bypass the oom killer
oom reapable and therefore much more reliable finally.  Even though mm
shared outside of thread group is rare (either vforked tasks for a short
period, use_mm by kernel threads or exotic thread model of
clone(CLONE_VM) without CLONE_SIGHAND) it is better to cover them.  Not
only it makes the current oom killer logic quite hard to follow and
reason about it can lead to weird corner cases.  E.g.  it is possible to
select an oom victim which shares the mm with unkillable process or
bypass the oom killer even when other processes sharing the mm are still
alive and other weird cases.

Patch 1 drops bogus task_lock and mm check from oom_{score_}adj_write.
This can be considered a bug fix with a low impact as nobody has noticed
for years.

Patch 2 drops sighand lock because it is not needed anymore as pointed
by Oleg.

Patch 3 is a clean up of oom_score_adj handling and a preparatory work
for later patches.

Patch 4 enforces oom_adj_score to be consistent between processes
sharing the mm to behave consistently with the regular thread groups.
This can be considered a user visible behavior change because one thread
group updating oom_score_adj will affect others which share the same mm
via clone(CLONE_VM).  I argue that this should be acceptable because we
already have the same behavior for threads in the same thread group and
sharing the mm without signal struct is just a different model of
threading.  This is probably the most controversial part of the series,
I would like to find some consensus here.  There were some suggestions
to hook some counter/oom_score_adj into the mm_struct but I feel that
this is not necessary right now and we can rely on proc handler +
oom_kill_process to DTRT.  I can be convinced otherwise but I strongly
think that whatever we do the userspace has to have a way to see the
current oom priority as consistently as possible.

Patch 5 makes sure that no vforked task is selected if it is sharing the
mm with oom unkillable task.

Patch 6 ensures that all user tasks sharing the mm are killed which in
turn makes sure that all oom victims are oom reapable.

Patch 7 guarantees that task_will_free_mem will always imply reapable
bypass of the oom killer.

Patch 8 is new in this version and it addresses an issue pointed out by
0-day OOM report where an oom victim was reaped several times.

Patch 9 puts an upper bound on how many times oom_reaper tries to reap a
task and hides it from the oom killer to move on when no progress can be
made.  This will give an upper bound to how long an oom_reapable task
can block the oom killer from selecting another victim if the oom_reaper
is not able to reap the victim.

Patch 10 tries to plug the (hopefully) last hole when we can still lock
up when the oom victim is shared with oom unkillable tasks (kthreads and
global init).  We just try to be best effort in that case and rather
fallback to kill something else than risk a lockup.

This patch (of 10):

Both oom_adj_write and oom_score_adj_write are using task_lock, check for
task->mm and fail if it is NULL.  This is not needed because the
oom_score_adj is per signal struct so we do not need mm at all.  The code
has been introduced by 3d5992d2ac ("oom: add per-mm oom disable count")
but we do not do per-mm oom disable since c9f01245b6 ("oom: remove
oom_disable_count").

The task->mm check is even not correct because the current thread might
have exited but the thread group might be still alive - e.g.  thread group
leader would lead that echo $VAL > /proc/pid/oom_score_adj would always
fail with EINVAL while /proc/pid/task/$other_tid/oom_score_adj would
succeed.  This is unexpected at best.

Remove the lock along with the check to fix the unexpected behavior and
also because there is not real need for the lock in the first place.
