d0164adc89 mm, page_alloc: distinguish between being unable to sleep, unwilling to sleep and avoiding waking kswapd
__GFP_WAIT has been used to identify atomic context in callers that hold
spinlocks or are in interrupts.  They are expected to be high priority and
have access one of two watermarks lower than "min" which can be referred
to as the "atomic reserve".  __GFP_HIGH users get access to the first
lower watermark and can be called the "high priority reserve".

Over time, callers had a requirement to not block when fallback options
were available.  Some have abused __GFP_WAIT leading to a situation where
an optimisitic allocation with a fallback option can access atomic
reserves.

This patch uses __GFP_ATOMIC to identify callers that are truely atomic,
cannot sleep and have no alternative.  High priority users continue to use
__GFP_HIGH.  __GFP_DIRECT_RECLAIM identifies callers that can sleep and
are willing to enter direct reclaim.  __GFP_KSWAPD_RECLAIM to identify
callers that want to wake kswapd for background reclaim.  __GFP_WAIT is
redefined as a caller that is willing to enter direct reclaim and wake
kswapd for background reclaim.

This patch then converts a number of sites

o __GFP_ATOMIC is used by callers that are high priority and have memory
  pools for those requests. GFP_ATOMIC uses this flag.

o Callers that have a limited mempool to guarantee forward progress clear
  __GFP_DIRECT_RECLAIM but keep __GFP_KSWAPD_RECLAIM. bio allocations fall
  into this category where kswapd will still be woken but atomic reserves
  are not used as there is a one-entry mempool to guarantee progress.

o Callers that are checking if they are non-blocking should use the
  helper gfpflags_allow_blocking() where possible. This is because
  checking for __GFP_WAIT as was done historically now can trigger false
  positives. Some exceptions like dm-crypt.c exist where the code intent
  is clearer if __GFP_DIRECT_RECLAIM is used instead of the helper due to
  flag manipulations.

o Callers that built their own GFP flags instead of starting with GFP_KERNEL
  and friends now also need to specify __GFP_KSWAPD_RECLAIM.

The first key hazard to watch out for is callers that removed __GFP_WAIT
and was depending on access to atomic reserves for inconspicuous reasons.
In some cases it may be appropriate for them to use __GFP_HIGH.

The second key hazard is callers that assembled their own combination of
GFP flags instead of starting with something like GFP_KERNEL.  They may
now wish to specify __GFP_KSWAPD_RECLAIM.  It's almost certainly harmless
if it's missed in most cases as other activity will wake kswapd.

d574567537 cgroup: fix race condition around termination check in css_task_iter_next()
css_task_iter_next() checked @it->cur_task before grabbing
css_set_lock and assumed that the result won't change afterwards;
however, tasks could leave the cgroup being iterated terminating the
iterator before css_task_lock is acquired.  If this happens,
css_task_iter_next() tries to calculate the current task from NULL
cg_list pointer leading to the following oops.

Fix it by moving the termination condition check inside css_set_lock.
@it->cur_task is now cleared after being put and @it->task_pos is
tested for termination instead of @it->cset_pos as they indicate the
same condition and @it->task_pos is what's being dereferenced.

pids controller is completely broken in that it uncharges when a task

2e91fa7f6d cgroup: keep zombies associated with their original cgroups
cgroup_exit() is called when a task exits and disassociates the
exiting task from its cgroups and half-attach it to the root cgroup.
This is unnecessary and undesirable.

No controller actually needs an exiting task to be disassociated with
non-root cgroups.  Both cpu and perf_event controllers update the
association to the root cgroup from their exit callbacks just to keep
consistent with the cgroup core behavior.

Also, this disassociation makes it difficult to track resources held
by zombies or determine where the zombies came from.  Currently, pids
controller is completely broken as it uncharges on exit and zombies
always escape the resource restriction.  With cgroup association being
reset on exit, fixing it is pretty painful.

There's no reason to reset cgroup membership on exit.  The zombie can
be removed from its css_set so that it doesn't show up on
"cgroup.procs" and thus can't be migrated or interfere with cgroup
removal.  It can still pin and point to the css_set so that its cgroup
membership is maintained.  This patch makes cgroup core keep zombies
associated with their cgroups at the time of exit.

* Previous patches decoupled populated_cnt tracking from css_set
  lifetime, so a dying task can be simply unlinked from its css_set
  while pinning and pointing to the css_set.  This keeps css_set
  association from task side alive while hiding it from "cgroup.procs"
  and populated_cnt tracking.  The css_set reference is dropped when
  the task_struct is freed.

* ->exit() callback no longer needs the css arguments as the
  associated css never changes once PF_EXITING is set.  Removed.

* cpu and perf_events controllers no longer need ->exit() callbacks.
  There's no reason to explicitly switch away on exit.  The final
  schedule out is enough.  The callbacks are removed.

* On traditional hierarchies, nothing changes.  "/proc/PID/cgroup"
  still reports "/" for all zombies.  On the default hierarchy,
  "/proc/PID/cgroup" keeps reporting the cgroup that the task belonged
  to at the time of exit.  If the cgroup gets removed before the task
  is reaped, " (deleted)" is appended.

v2: Build brekage due to missing dummy cgroup_free() when
    !CONFIG_CGROUP fixed.

f0d9a5f175 cgroup: make css_set_rwsem a spinlock and rename it to css_set_lock
css_set_rwsem is the inner lock protecting css_sets and is accessed
from hot paths such as fork and exit.  Internally, it has no reason to
be a rwsem or even mutex.  There are no internal blocking operations
while holding it.  This was rwsem because css task iteration used to
expose it to external iterator users.  As the previous patch updated
css task iteration such that the locking is not leaked to its users,
there's no reason to keep it a rwsem.

This patch converts css_set_rwsem to a spinlock and rename it to
css_set_lock.  It uses bh-safe operations as a planned usage needs to
access it from RCU callback context.

ed27b9f7a1 cgroup: don't hold css_set_rwsem across css task iteration
css_sets are synchronized through css_set_rwsem but the locking scheme
is kinda bizarre.  The hot paths - fork and exit - have to write lock
the rwsem making the rw part pointless; furthermore, many readers
already hold cgroup_mutex.

One of the readers is css task iteration.  It read locks the rwsem
over the entire duration of iteration.  This leads to silly locking
behavior.  When cpuset tries to migrate processes of a cgroup to a
different NUMA node, css_set_rwsem is held across the entire migration
attempt which can take a long time locking out forking, exiting and
other cgroup operations.

This patch updates css task iteration so that it locks css_set_rwsem
only while the iterator is being advanced.  css task iteration
involves two levels - css_set and task iteration.  As css_sets in use
are practically immutable, simply pinning the current one is enough
for resuming iteration afterwards.  Task iteration is tricky as tasks
may leave their css_set while iteration is in progress.  This is
solved by keeping track of active iterators and advancing them if
their next task leaves its css_set.

v2: put_task_struct() in css_task_iter_next() moved outside
    css_set_rwsem.  A later patch will add cgroup operations to
    task_struct free path which may grab the same lock and this avoids
    deadlock possibilities.

    css_set_move_task() updated to use list_for_each_entry_safe() when
    walking task_iters and advancing them.  This is necessary as
    advancing an iter may remove it from the list.

ecb9d535df cgroup: reorganize css_task_iter functions
* Rename css_advance_task_iter() to css_task_iter_advance_css_set()
  and make it clear it->task_pos too at the end of the iteration.

* Factor out css_task_iter_advance() from css_task_iter_next().  The
  new function whines if called on a terminated iterator.

Except for the termination check, this is pure reorganization and
doesn't introduce any behavior changes.  This will help the planned
locking update for css_task_iter.

f6d7d049c1 cgroup: factor out css_set_move_task()
A task is associated and disassociated with its css_set in three
places - during migration, after a new task is created and when a task
exits.  The first is handled by cgroup_task_migrate() and the latter
two are open-coded.

These are similar operations and spreading them over multiple places
makes it harder to follow and update.  This patch collects all task
css_set [dis]association operations into css_set_move_task().

While css_set_move_task() may check whether populated state needs to
be updated when not strictly necessary, the behavior is essentially
equivalent before and after this patch.

91486f61f4 cgroup: make cgroup_destroy_locked() test cgroup_is_populated()
cgroup_destroy_locked() currently tests whether any css_sets are
associated to reject removal if the cgroup contains tasks.  This works
because a css_set's refcnt converges with the number of tasks linked
to it and thus there's no css_set linked to a cgroup if it doesn't
have any live tasks.

To help tracking resource usage of zombie tasks, putting the ref of
css_set will be separated from disassociating the task from the
css_set which means that a cgroup may have css_sets linked to it even
when it doesn't have any live tasks.

This patch updates cgroup_destroy_locked() so that it tests
cgroup_is_populated(), which counts the number of populated css_sets,
instead of whether cgrp->cset_links is empty to determine whether the
cgroup is populated or not.  This ensures that rmdirs won't be
incorrectly rejected for cgroups which only contain zombie tasks.

a cgroup with css_sets associated are not allowed to be removed;
however, to help resource tracking for zombie tasks, this is scheduled

associated as long as none of them are populated.

To ensure that a cgroup doesn't go away while css_sets are still
associated with it, make each associated css_set hold a reference on
the cgroup if non-root.

which tests cgroup->nr_populated instead which locally counts the
number of populated css_sets.  Unlike cgroup_has_tasks(),
cgroup_is_populated() is recursive - if any of the descendants is
populated, the cgroup is populated too.  While this changes the
meaning of the test, all the existing users are okay with the change.

10265075aa cgroup: make cgroup_update_dfl_csses() migrate all target processes atomically
cgroup_update_dfl_csses() is responsible for migrating processes when
controllers are enabled or disabled on the default hierarchy.  As the
css association changes for all the processes in the affected cgroups,
this involves migrating multiple processes.

Up until now, it was implemented by migrating process-by-process until
the source css_sets are empty; however, this means that if a process
fails to migrate after some succeed before it, the recovery is very
tricky.  This was considered okay as subsystems weren't allowed to
reject process migration on the default hierarchy; unfortunately,
enforcing this policy turned out to be problematic for certain types
of resources - realtime slices for now.

As such, the default hierarchy is gonna allow restricted failures
during migration and to support that this patch makes
cgroup_update_dfl_csses() migrate all target processes atomically
rather than one-by-one.  The preceding patches made subsystems ready
for multi-process migration and factored out taskset operations making
this almost trivial.  All tasks of the target processes are put in the
same taskset and the migration operations are performed once which
either fails or succeeds for all.

would no longer work for the planned multi-process migration.

This patch introduces explicit cgroup_taskset_for_each_leader() which
iterates over only the threadgroup leaders and replaces
cgroup_taskset_first() usages for accessing the leader with it.

This prepares both memcg and cpuset for multi-process migration.  This
patch also updates the documentation for cgroup_taskset_for_each() to
clarify the iteration rules and removes comments mentioning task
ordering in tasksets.

v2: A previous patch which added threadgroup leader test was dropped.
    Patch updated accordingly.

6f60eade24 cgroup: generalize obtaining the handles of and notifying cgroup files
cgroup core handles creations and removals of cgroup interface files
as described by cftypes.  There are cases where the handle for a given
file instance is necessary, for example, to generate a file modified
event.  Currently, this is handled by explicitly matching the callback
method pointer and storing the file handle manually in
cgroup_add_file().  While this simple approach works for cgroup core
files, it can't for controller interface files.

This patch generalizes cgroup interface file handle handling.  struct
cgroup_file is defined and each cftype can optionally tell cgroup core
to store the file handle by setting ->file_offset.  A file handle
remains accessible as long as the containing css is accessible.

Both "cgroup.procs" and "cgroup.events" are converted to use the new
generic mechanism instead of hooking directly into cgroup_add_file().
Also, cgroup_file_notify() which takes a struct cgroup_file and
generates a file modified event on it is added and replaces explicit
kernfs_notify() invocations.

This generalizes cgroup file handle handling and allows controllers to
generate file modified notifications.

4df8dc9031 cgroup: restructure file creation / removal handling
The file creation / removal path has always been a bit icky and the
planned notification update requires css during file creation.
Restructure as follows.

* cgroup_addrm_files() now takes both @css and @cgrp and is only
  called directly by other file handling functions.

* cgroup_populate/clear_dir() are replaced with
  css_populate/clear_dir() taking @css and @cgrp_override.
  @cgrp_override is used only when files needs to be created on /
  removed from a cgroup which isn't attached to @css which happens
  during subsystem rebinds.  Subsystem loops are moved to the callers.

* cgroup_add_file() now takes both @css and @cgrp.  @css isn't used
  yet but will be used by the planned notification update.

This patch doens't cause any behavior changes.

6732ed853a cgroup: make cgroup_addrm_files() clean up after itself on failures
After a file creation failure, cgroup_addrm_files() it didn't remove
the files which had already been created.  When cgroup_populate_dir()
is the caller, this is fine as the caller performs cleanup; however,
for other callers, this may leave unactivated dangling files behind.
As kernfs directory removals are recursive, this doesn't lead to
permanent memory leak but it can, for example, fail future attempts to
create those files again.

There's no point in keeping around this sort of subtlety and it gets
in the way of planned updates to file handling.  This patch makes
cgroup_addrm_files() clean up after itself on failures.

7dbdb199d3 cgroup: replace cftype->mode with CFTYPE_WORLD_WRITABLE
cftype->mode allows controllers to give arbitrary permissions to
interface knobs.  Except for "cgroup.event_control", the existing uses
are spurious.

* Some explicitly specify S_IRUGO | S_IWUSR even though that's the
  default.

* "cpuset.memory_pressure" specifies S_IRUGO while also setting a
  write callback which returns -EACCES.  All it needs to do is simply
  not setting a write callback.

"cgroup.event_control" uses cftype->mode to make the file
world-writable.  It's a misdesigned interface and we don't want
controllers to be tweaking interface file permissions in general.
This patch removes cftype->mode and all its spurious uses and
implements CFTYPE_WORLD_WRITABLE for "cgroup.event_control" which is
marked as compatibility-only.

1ed1328792 sched, cgroup: replace signal_struct->group_rwsem with a global percpu_rwsem
Note: This commit was originally committed as d59cfc09c3 but got
      reverted by 0c986253b9 due to the performance regression from
      the percpu_rwsem write down/up operations added to cgroup task
      migration path.  percpu_rwsem changes which alleviate the
      performance issue are pending for v4.4-rc1 merge window.
      Re-apply.

The cgroup side of threadgroup locking uses signal_struct->group_rwsem
to synchronize against threadgroup changes.  This per-process rwsem
adds small overhead to thread creation, exit and exec paths, forces
cgroup code paths to do lock-verify-unlock-retry dance in a couple
places and makes it impossible to atomically perform operations across
multiple processes.

This patch replaces signal_struct->group_rwsem with a global
percpu_rwsem cgroup_threadgroup_rwsem which is cheaper on the reader
side and contained in cgroups proper.  This patch converts one-to-one.

This does make writer side heavier and lower the granularity; however,
cgroup process migration is a fairly cold path, we do want to optimize
thread operations over it and cgroup migration operations don't take
enough time for the lower granularity to matter.

a068acf2ee fs: create and use seq_show_option for escaping
Many file systems that implement the show_options hook fail to correctly
escape their output which could lead to unescaped characters (e.g.  new
lines) leaking into /proc/mounts and /proc/[pid]/mountinfo files.  This
could lead to confusion, spoofed entries (resulting in things like
systemd issuing false d-bus "mount" notifications), and who knows what
else.  This looks like it would only be the root user stepping on
themselves, but it's possible weird things could happen in containers or
in other situations with delegated mount privileges.

Here's an example using overlay with setuid fusermount trusting the
contents of /proc/mounts (via the /etc/mtab symlink).  Imagine the use
of "sudo" is something more sneaky:

  $ BASE="ovl"
  $ MNT="$BASE/mnt"
  $ LOW="$BASE/lower"
  $ UP="$BASE/upper"
  $ WORK="$BASE/work/ 0 0
  none /proc fuse.pwn user_id=1000"
  $ mkdir -p "$LOW" "$UP" "$WORK"
  $ sudo mount -t overlay -o "lowerdir=$LOW,upperdir=$UP,workdir=$WORK" none /mnt
  $ cat /proc/mounts
  none /root/ovl/mnt overlay rw,relatime,lowerdir=ovl/lower,upperdir=ovl/upper,workdir=ovl/work/ 0 0
  none /proc fuse.pwn user_id=1000 0 0
  $ fusermount -u /proc
  $ cat /proc/mounts
  cat: /proc/mounts: No such file or directory

This fixes the problem by adding new seq_show_option and
seq_show_option_n helpers, and updating the vulnerable show_option
handlers to use them as needed.  Some, like SELinux, need to be open
coded due to unusual existing escape mechanisms.

0cbee99269 Merge branch 'for-linus' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/ebiederm/user-namespace
Pull user namespace updates from Eric Biederman:
 "Long ago and far away when user namespaces where young it was realized
  that allowing fresh mounts of proc and sysfs with only user namespace
  permissions could violate the basic rule that only root gets to decide
  if proc or sysfs should be mounted at all.

  Some hacks were put in place to reduce the worst of the damage could
  be done, and the common sense rule was adopted that fresh mounts of
  proc and sysfs should allow no more than bind mounts of proc and
  sysfs.  Unfortunately that rule has not been fully enforced.

  There are two kinds of gaps in that enforcement.  Only filesystems
  mounted on empty directories of proc and sysfs should be ignored but
  the test for empty directories was insufficient.  So in my tree
  directories on proc, sysctl and sysfs that will always be empty are
  created specially.  Every other technique is imperfect as an ordinary
  directory can have entries added even after a readdir returns and
  shows that the directory is empty.  Special creation of directories
  for mount points makes the code in the kernel a smidge clearer about
  it's purpose.  I asked container developers from the various container
  projects to help test this and no holes were found in the set of mount
  points on proc and sysfs that are created specially.

  This set of changes also starts enforcing the mount flags of fresh
  mounts of proc and sysfs are consistent with the existing mount of
  proc and sysfs.  I expected this to be the boring part of the work but
  unfortunately unprivileged userspace winds up mounting fresh copies of
  proc and sysfs with noexec and nosuid clear when root set those flags
  on the previous mount of proc and sysfs.  So for now only the atime,
  read-only and nodev attributes which userspace happens to keep
  consistent are enforced.  Dealing with the noexec and nosuid
  attributes remains for another time.

  This set of changes also addresses an issue with how open file
  descriptors from /proc/<pid>/ns/* are displayed.  Recently readlink of
  /proc/<pid>/fd has been triggering a WARN_ON that has not been
  meaningful since it was added (as all of the code in the kernel was
  converted) and is not now actively wrong.

  There is also a short list of issues that have not been fixed yet that
  I will mention briefly.

  It is possible to rename a directory from below to above a bind mount.
  At which point any directory pointers below the renamed directory can
  be walked up to the root directory of the filesystem.  With user
  namespaces enabled a bind mount of the bind mount can be created
  allowing the user to pick a directory whose children they can rename
  to outside of the bind mount.  This is challenging to fix and doubly
  so because all obvious solutions must touch code that is in the
  performance part of pathname resolution.

  As mentioned above there is also a question of how to ensure that
  developers by accident or with purpose do not introduce exectuable
  files on sysfs and proc and in doing so introduce security regressions
  in the current userspace that will not be immediately obvious and as
  such are likely to require breaking userspace in painful ways once
  they are recognized"

f9bb48825a sysfs: Create mountpoints with sysfs_create_mount_point
This allows for better documentation in the code and
it allows for a simpler and fully correct version of
fs_fully_visible to be written.

The mount points converted and their filesystems are:
/sys/hypervisor/s390/       s390_hypfs
/sys/kernel/config/         configfs
/sys/kernel/debug/          debugfs
/sys/firmware/efi/efivars/  efivarfs
/sys/fs/fuse/connections/   fusectl
/sys/fs/pstore/             pstore
/sys/kernel/tracing/        tracefs
/sys/fs/cgroup/             cgroup
/sys/kernel/security/       securityfs
/sys/fs/selinux/            selinuxfs
/sys/fs/smackfs/            smackfs

187fe84067 cgroup: require write perm on common ancestor when moving processes on the default hierarchy
On traditional hierarchies, if a task has write access to "tasks" or
"cgroup.procs" file of a cgroup and its euid agrees with the target,
it can move the target to the cgroup; however, consider the following
scenario.  The owner of each cgroup is in the parentheses.

 R (root) - 0 (root) - 00 (user1) - 000 (user1)
          |                       \ 001 (user1)
          \ 1 (root) - 10 (user1)

The subtrees of 00 and 10 are delegated to user1; however, while both
subtrees may belong to the same user, it is clear that the two
subtrees are to be isolated - they're under completely separate
resource limits imposed by 0 and 1, respectively.  Note that 0 and 1
aren't strictly necessary but added to ease illustrating the issue.

If user1 is allowed to move processes between the two subtrees, the
intention of the hierarchy - keeping a given group of processes under
a subtree with certain resource restrictions while delegating
management of the subtree - can be circumvented by user1.

This happens because migration permission check doesn't consider the
hierarchical nature of cgroups.  To fix the issue, this patch adds an
extra permission requirement when userland tries to migrate a process
in the default hierarchy - the issuing task must have write access to
the common ancestor of "cgroup.procs" file of the ancestor in addition
to the destination's.

Conceptually, the issuer must be able to move the target process from
the source cgroup to the common ancestor of source and destination
cgroups and then to the destination.  As long as delegation is done in
a proper top-down way, this guarantees that a delegatee can't smuggle
processes across disjoint delegation domains.

The next patch will add documentation on the delegation model on the
default hierarchy.

v2: Fixed missing !ret test.  Spotted by Li Zefan.
