The sys_llseek sytem call is needed on all 32-bit architectures and
none of the 64-bit ones, so we can remove the __ARCH_WANT_SYS_LLSEEK guard
and simplify the include/asm-generic/unistd.h header further.
Since 32-bit tasks can run either natively or in compat mode on 64-bit
architectures, we have to check for both !CONFIG_64BIT and CONFIG_COMPAT.
There are a few 64-bit architectures that also reference sys_llseek
in their 64-bit ABI (e.g. sparc), but I verified that those all
select CONFIG_COMPAT, so the #if check is still correct here. It's
a bit odd to include it in the syscall table though, as it's the
same as sys_lseek() on 64-bit, but with strange calling conventions.

While converting compat system call handlers to work on 32-bit
architectures, I found a number of types used in those handlers
that are identical between all architectures.
Let's move all the identical ones into asm-generic/compat.h to avoid
having to add even more identical definitions of those types.
For unknown reasons, mips defines __compat_gid32_t, __compat_uid32_t
and compat_caddr_t as signed, while all others have them unsigned.
This seems to be a mistake, but I'm leaving it alone here. The other
types all differ by size or alignment on at least on architecture.
compat_aio_context_t is currently defined in linux/compat.h but
also needed for compat_sys_io_getevents(), so let's move it into
the same place.
While we still have not decided whether the 32-bit time handling
will always use the compat syscalls, or in which form, I think this
is a useful cleanup that we can merge regardless.

We have four generations of stat() syscalls:
- the oldstat syscalls that are only used on the older architectures
- the newstat family that is used on all 64-bit architectures but
lacked support for large files on 32-bit architectures.
- the stat64 family that is used mostly on 32-bit architectures to
replace newstat
- statx() to replace all of the above, adding 64-bit timestamps among
other things.
We already compile stat64 only on those architectures that need it,
but newstat is always built, including on those that don't reference
it. This adds a new __ARCH_WANT_NEW_STAT symbol along the lines of
__ARCH_WANT_OLD_STAT and __ARCH_WANT_STAT64 to control compilation of
newstat. All architectures that need it use an explict define, the
others now get a little bit smaller, and future architecture (including
64-bit targets) won't ever see it.

Christoph Hellwig suggested a slightly different path for handling
backwards compatibility with the 32-bit time_t based system calls:
Rather than simply reusing the compat_sys_* entry points on 32-bit
architectures unchanged, we get rid of those entry points and the
compat_time types by renaming them to something that makes more sense
on 32-bit architectures (which don't have a compat mode otherwise),
and then share the entry points under the new name with the 64-bit
architectures that use them for implementing the compatibility.
The following types and interfaces are renamed here, and moved
from linux/compat_time.h to linux/time32.h:
old new
--- ---
compat_time_t old_time32_t
struct compat_timeval struct old_timeval32
struct compat_timespec struct old_timespec32
struct compat_itimerspec struct old_itimerspec32
ns_to_compat_timeval() ns_to_old_timeval32()
get_compat_itimerspec64() get_old_itimerspec32()
put_compat_itimerspec64() put_old_itimerspec32()
compat_get_timespec64() get_old_timespec32()
compat_put_timespec64() put_old_timespec32()
As we already have aliases in place, this patch addresses only the
instances that are relevant to the system call interface in particular,
not those that occur in device drivers and other modules. Those
will get handled separately, while providing the 64-bit version
of the respective interfaces.
I'm not renaming the timex, rusage and itimerval structures, as we are
still debating what the new interface will look like, and whether we
will need a replacement at all.
This also doesn't change the names of the syscall entry points, which can
be done more easily when we actually switch over the 32-bit architectures
to use them, at that point we need to change COMPAT_SYSCALL_DEFINEx to
SYSCALL_DEFINEx with a new name, e.g. with a _time32 suffix.

1. Show backward stack traces with up to 30 callsites
2. Add callinfo to ENTRY_CFI() such that every assembler function will get an
entry in the unwind table
3. Use constants instead of numbers in call_on_stack()
4. Do not depend on CONFIG_KALLSYMS to generate backtraces.
5. Speed up backtrace generation
Make sure you have this patch to GNU as installed:

parisc is the only Linux architecture which has defined a value for ENOTSUP.
All other architectures #define ENOTSUP as EOPNOTSUPP in their libc headers.
Having an own value for ENOTSUP which is different than EOPNOTSUPP often gives
problems with userspace programs which expect both to be the same. One such
example is a build error in the libuv package, as can be seen in
https://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=900237.
Since we dropped HP-UX support, there is no real benefit in keeping an own
value for ENOTSUP. This patch drops the parisc value for ENOTSUP from the
kernel sources. glibc needs no patch, it reuses the exported headers.

With gcc-8 fsanitize=null become very noisy. GCC started to complain
about things like &a->b, where 'a' is NULL pointer. There is no NULL
dereference, we just calculate address to struct member. It's
technically undefined behavior so UBSAN is correct to report it. But as
long as there is no real NULL-dereference, I think, we should be fine.
-fno-delete-null-pointer-checks compiler flag should protect us from any
consequences. So let's just no use -fsanitize=null as it's not useful
for us. If there is a real NULL-deref we will see crash. Even if
userspace mapped something at NULL (root can do this), with things like
SMAP should catch the issue.

Convert printk(KERN_LEVEL) type of calls to pr_lvl() macros.
While here,
- convert printk() to pr_info()
- join back string literal to be on one line
- use %*phN (note, it gives 1 byte more for sake of simplicity)

The conditional inc/dec ops differ for atomic_t and atomic64_t:
- atomic_inc_unless_positive() is optional for atomic_t, and doesn't exist for atomic64_t.
- atomic_dec_unless_negative() is optional for atomic_t, and doesn't exist for atomic64_t.
- atomic_dec_if_positive is optional for atomic_t, and is mandatory for atomic64_t.
Let's make these consistently optional for both. At the same time, let's
clean up the existing fallbacks to use atomic_try_cmpxchg().
The instrumented atomics are updated accordingly.
There should be no functional change as a result of this patch.

Many of the inc/dec ops are mandatory, but for most architectures inc/dec are
simply trivial wrappers around their corresponding add/sub ops.
Let's make all the inc/dec ops optional, so that we can get rid of these
boilerplate wrappers.

Some of the atomics return the result of a test applied after the atomic
operation, and almost all architectures implement these as trivial
wrappers around the underlying atomic. Specifically:
* <atomic>_inc_and_test(v) is (<atomic>_inc_return(v) == 0)
* <atomic>_dec_and_test(v) is (<atomic>_dec_return(v) == 0)
* <atomic>_sub_and_test(i, v) is (<atomic>_sub_return(i, v) == 0)
* <atomic>_add_negative(i, v) is (<atomic>_add_return(i, v) < 0)
Rather than have these definitions duplicated in all architectures, with
minor inconsistencies in formatting and documentation, let's make these
operations optional, with default fallbacks as above. Implementations
must now provide a preprocessor symbol.
The instrumented atomics are updated accordingly.
Both x86 and m68k have custom implementations, which are left as-is,
given preprocessor symbols to avoid being overridden.
There should be no functional change as a result of this patch.

Architectures with atomic64_fetch_add_unless() provide a preprocessor
symbol if they do so, and all other architectures have trivial C
implementations of atomic64_add_unless() which are near-identical.
Let's unify the trivial definitions of atomic64_fetch_add_unless() in
<linux/atomic.h>, so that we always have both
atomic64_fetch_add_unless() and atomic64_add_unless() with less
boilerplate code.
This means that atomic64_add_unless() is always implemented in core
code, and the instrumented atomics are updated accordingly.

Several architectures these have a near-identical implementation based
on atomic_read() and atomic_cmpxchg() which we can instead define in
<linux/atomic.h>, so let's do so, using something close to the existing
x86 implementation with try_cmpxchg().
Where an architecture provides its own atomic_fetch_add_unless(), it
must define a preprocessor symbol for it. The instrumented atomics are
updated accordingly.
Note that arch/arc's existing atomic_fetch_add_unless() had redundant
barriers, as these are already present in its atomic_cmpxchg()
implementation.

While __atomic_add_unless() was originally intended as a building-block
for atomic_add_unless(), it's now used in a number of places around the
kernel. It's the only common atomic operation named __atomic*(), rather
than atomic_*(), and for consistency it would be better named
atomic_fetch_add_unless().
This lack of consistency is slightly confusing, and gets in the way of
scripting atomics. Given that, let's clean things up and promote it to
an official part of the atomics API, in the form of
atomic_fetch_add_unless().
This patch converts definitions and invocations over to the new name,
including the instrumented version, using the following script:
----
git grep -w __atomic_add_unless | while read line; do
sed -i '{s/\<__atomic_add_unless\>/atomic_fetch_add_unless/}' "${line%%:*}";
done
git grep -w __arch_atomic_add_unless | while read line; do
sed -i '{s/\<__arch_atomic_add_unless\>/arch_atomic_fetch_add_unless/}' "${line%%:*}";
done
----
Note that we do not have atomic{64,_long}_fetch_add_unless(), which will
be introduced by later patches.
There should be no functional change as a result of this patch.

Pull irq updates from Thomas Gleixner:
- Consolidation of softirq pending:
The softirq mask and its accessors/mutators have many implementations
scattered around many architectures. Most do the same things
consisting in a field in a per-cpu struct (often irq_cpustat_t)
accessed through per-cpu ops. We can provide instead a generic
efficient version that most of them can use. In fact s390 is the only
exception because the field is stored in lowcore.
- Support for level!?! triggered MSI (ARM)
Over the past couple of years, we've seen some SoCs coming up with
ways of signalling level interrupts using a new flavor of MSIs, where
the MSI controller uses two distinct messages: one that raises a
virtual line, and one that lowers it. The target MSI controller is in
charge of maintaining the state of the line.
This allows for a much simplified HW signal routing (no need to have
hundreds of discrete lines to signal level interrupts if you already
have a memory bus), but results in a departure from the current idea
the kernel has of MSIs.

"This set of changes close the known issues with setting si_code to an

remains work to do on nds32, arc, unicore32, powerpc, arm, arm64, ia64

maintainable state. Most of that work involves refactoring the signal
handling code and thus careful code review.
Also not included is the work to shrink the in kernel version of
struct siginfo. That depends on getting the number of places that
directly manipulate struct siginfo under control, as it requires the
introduction of struct kernel_siginfo for the in kernel things.

By default, sparse assumes a 64bit machine when compiled on x86-64
and 32bit when compiled on anything else.
This can of course create all sort of problems for the other archs, like
issuing false warnings ('shift too big (32) for type unsigned long'), or
worse, failing to emit legitimate warnings.
Fix this by adding the -m32/-m64 flag, depending on CONFIG_64BIT,
to CHECKFLAGS in the main Makefile (and so for all archs).
Also, remove the now unneeded -m32/-m64 in arch specific Makefiles.

The kernel depends on macros like __BYTE_ORDER__,
__BIG_ENDIAN__ or __LITTLE_ENDIAN__.
OTOH, sparse doesn't know about the endianness of the kernel and
by default uses the same as the machine on which sparse was built.
Ensure that sparse can predefine the macros corresponding to
how the kernel was configured by adding -m{big,little}-endian
to CHECKFLAGS in the main Makefile (and so for all archs).
Also, remove the equivalent done in arch specific Makefiles.

This is a follow-up to Deepa's work on the timekeeping system calls,

of two strategies:
For sys_msgctl, sys_semctl and sys_shmctl, I do not introduce a completely
new set of replacement system calls, but instead extend the existing
ones to return data in the reserved fields of the normal data structure.
This should be completely transparent to any existing user space, and
only after the 32-bit time_t wraps, it will make a difference in the
returned data.
libc implementations will consequently have to provide their own data
structures when they move to 64-bit time_t, and convert the structures
in user space from the ones returned by the kernel.
In contrast, mq_timedsend, mq_timedreceive and and semtimedop all do
need to change because having a libc redefine the timespec type
breaks the ABI, so with this series there will be two separate entry
points for 32-bit architectures.
There are three cases here:
- little-endian architectures (except powerpc and mips) can use
the normal layout and just cast the data structure to the user space
type that contains 64-bit numbers.
- parisc and sparc can do the same thing with big-endian user space
- little-endian powerpc and most big-endian architectures have
to flip the upper and lower 32-bit halves of the time_t value in memory,
but can otherwise keep using the normal layout
- mips and big-endian xtensa need to be more careful because
they are not consistent in their definitions, and they have to provide
custom libc implementations for the system calls to use 64-bit time_t.

Filling in struct siginfo before calling force_sig_info a tedious and
error prone process, where once in a great while the wrong fields
are filled out, and siginfo has been inconsistently cleared.
Simplify this process by using the helper force_sig_fault. Which
takes as a parameters all of the information it needs, ensures
all of the fiddly bits of filling in struct siginfo are done properly
and then calls force_sig_info.
In short about a 5 line reduction in code for every time force_sig_info
is called, which makes the calling function clearer.

Note: It is not safe to depend on C initializers to initialize struct
siginfo on the stack because C is allowed to skip holes when

The initialization of struct siginfo in tracehook_report_syscall_exit

tracehook_report_syscall_exit itself, to make it clear that the local

In a few cases the scope of struct siginfo has been reduced to make it

Patch series "mm: introduce MAP_FIXED_NOREPLACE", v2.
This has started as a follow up discussion [3][4] resulting in the
runtime failure caused by hardening patch [5] which removes MAP_FIXED
from the elf loader because MAP_FIXED is inherently dangerous as it
might silently clobber an existing underlying mapping (e.g. stack).
The reason for the failure is that some architectures enforce an
alignment for the given address hint without MAP_FIXED used (e.g. for
shared or file backed mappings).
One way around this would be excluding those archs which do alignment
tricks from the hardening [6]. The patch is really trivial but it has
been objected, rightfully so, that this screams for a more generic
solution. We basically want a non-destructive MAP_FIXED.
The first patch introduced MAP_FIXED_NOREPLACE which enforces the given
address but unlike MAP_FIXED it fails with EEXIST if the given range
conflicts with an existing one. The flag is introduced as a completely
new one rather than a MAP_FIXED extension because of the backward
compatibility. We really want a never-clobber semantic even on older
kernels which do not recognize the flag. Unfortunately mmap sucks
wrt flags evaluation because we do not EINVAL on unknown flags. On
those kernels we would simply use the traditional hint based semantic so
the caller can still get a different address (which sucks) but at least
not silently corrupt an existing mapping. I do not see a good way
around that. Except we won't export expose the new semantic to the
userspace at all.
It seems there are users who would like to have something like that.
Jemalloc has been mentioned by Michael Ellerman [7]
Florian Weimer has mentioned the following:
: glibc ld.so currently maps DSOs without hints. This means that the kernel
: will map right next to each other, and the offsets between them a completely
: predictable. We would like to change that and supply a random address in a
: window of the address space. If there is a conflict, we do not want the
: kernel to pick a non-random address. Instead, we would try again with a
: random address.
John Hubbard has mentioned CUDA example
: a) Searches /proc/<pid>/maps for a "suitable" region of available
: VA space. "Suitable" generally means it has to have a base address
: within a certain limited range (a particular device model might
: have odd limitations, for example), it has to be large enough, and
: alignment has to be large enough (again, various devices may have
: constraints that lead us to do this).
:
: This is of course subject to races with other threads in the process.
:
: Let's say it finds a region starting at va.
:
: b) Next it does:
: p = mmap(va, ...)
:
: *without* setting MAP_FIXED, of course (so va is just a hint), to
: attempt to safely reserve that region. If p != va, then in most cases,
: this is a failure (almost certainly due to another thread getting a
: mapping from that region before we did), and so this layer now has to
: call munmap(), before returning a "failure: retry" to upper layers.
:
: IMPROVEMENT: --> if instead, we could call this:
:
: p = mmap(va, ... MAP_FIXED_NOREPLACE ...)
:
: , then we could skip the munmap() call upon failure. This
: is a small thing, but it is useful here. (Thanks to Piotr
: Jaroszynski and Mark Hairgrove for helping me get that detail
: exactly right, btw.)
:
: c) After that, CUDA suballocates from p, via:
:
: q = mmap(sub_region_start, ... MAP_FIXED ...)
:
: Interestingly enough, "freeing" is also done via MAP_FIXED, and
: setting PROT_NONE to the subregion. Anyway, I just included (c) for
: general interest.
Atomic address range probing in the multithreaded programs in general
sounds like an interesting thing to me.
The second patch simply replaces MAP_FIXED use in elf loader by
MAP_FIXED_NOREPLACE. I believe other places which rely on MAP_FIXED
should follow. Actually real MAP_FIXED usages should be docummented
properly and they should be more of an exception.

This patch (of 2):
MAP_FIXED is used quite often to enforce mapping at the particular range.
The main problem of this flag is, however, that it is inherently dangerous
because it unmaps existing mappings covered by the requested range. This
can cause silent memory corruptions. Some of them even with serious
security implications. While the current semantic might be really
desiderable in many cases there are others which would want to enforce the
given range but rather see a failure than a silent memory corruption on a
clashing range. Please note that there is no guarantee that a given range
is obeyed by the mmap even when it is free - e.g. arch specific code is
allowed to apply an alignment.
Introduce a new MAP_FIXED_NOREPLACE flag for mmap to achieve this
behavior. It has the same semantic as MAP_FIXED wrt. the given address
request with a single exception that it fails with EEXIST if the requested
address is already covered by an existing mapping. We still do rely on
get_unmaped_area to handle all the arch specific MAP_FIXED treatment and
check for a conflicting vma after it returns.
The flag is introduced as a completely new one rather than a MAP_FIXED
extension because of the backward compatibility. We really want a
never-clobber semantic even on older kernels which do not recognize the
flag. Unfortunately mmap sucks wrt. flags evaluation because we do not
EINVAL on unknown flags. On those kernels we would simply use the
traditional hint based semantic so the caller can still get a different
address (which sucks) but at least not silently corrupt an existing
mapping. I do not see a good way around that.

Patch series "exec: Pin stack limit during exec".
Attempts to solve problems with the stack limit changing during exec
continue to be frustrated[1][2]. In addition to the specific issues
around the Stack Clash family of flaws, Andy Lutomirski pointed out[3]
other places during exec where the stack limit is used and is assumed to
be unchanging. Given the many places it gets used and the fact that it
can be manipulated/raced via setrlimit() and prlimit(), I think the only
way to handle this is to move away from the "current" view of the stack
limit and instead attach it to the bprm, and plumb this down into the
functions that need to know the stack limits. This series implements
the approach.
[1] 04e35f4495 ("exec: avoid RLIMIT_STACK races with prlimit()")
[2] 779f4e1c6c ("Revert "exec: avoid RLIMIT_STACK races with prlimit()"")
[3] to security@kernel.org, "Subject: existing rlimit races?"
This patch (of 3):
Since it is possible that the stack rlimit can change externally during
exec (either via another thread calling setrlimit() or another process
calling prlimit()), provide a way to pass the rlimit down into the
per-architecture mm layout functions so that the rlimit can stay in the
bprm structure instead of sitting in the signal structure until exec is
finalized.

Drop our own compat binfmt implementation in
arch/parisc/kernel/binfmt_elf32.c in favour of the generic
implementation with CONFIG_COMPAT_BINFMT_ELF.
While cleaning up the dependencies, I noticed that ELF_PLATFORM was strangely
defined: On a 32-bit kernel, it was defined to "PARISC", while when running in
compat mode on a 64-bit kernel it was defined to "PARISC32". Since it doesn't
seem to be used in glibc yet, it's now defined in both cases to "PARISC". In
any case, it can be distinguished because it's either a 32-bit or a 64-bit ELF
file.

Thanks to commit 4b3ef9daa4 ("mm/swap: split swap cache into 64MB
trunks"), after swapoff the address_space associated with the swap
device will be freed. So page_mapping() users which may touch the
address_space need some kind of mechanism to prevent the address_space
from being freed during accessing.
The dcache flushing functions (flush_dcache_page(), etc) in architecture
specific code may access the address_space of swap device for anonymous
pages in swap cache via page_mapping() function. But in some cases
there are no mechanisms to prevent the swap device from being swapoff,
for example,
CPU1 CPU2
__get_user_pages() swapoff()
flush_dcache_page()
mapping = page_mapping()
... exit_swap_address_space()
... kvfree(spaces)
mapping_mapped(mapping)
The address space may be accessed after being freed.
But from cachetlb.txt and Russell King, flush_dcache_page() only care
about file cache pages, for anonymous pages, flush_anon_page() should be
used. The implementation of flush_dcache_page() in all architectures
follows this too. They will check whether page_mapping() is NULL and
whether mapping_mapped() is true to determine whether to flush the
dcache immediately. And they will use interval tree (mapping->i_mmap)
to find all user space mappings. While mapping_mapped() and
mapping->i_mmap isn't used by anonymous pages in swap cache at all.
So, to fix the race between swapoff and flush dcache, __page_mapping()
is add to return the address_space for file cache pages and NULL
otherwise. All page_mapping() invoking in flush dcache functions are
replaced with page_mapping_file().
[akpm@linux-foundation.org: simplify page_mapping_file(), per Mike]

Pull removal of in-kernel calls to syscalls from Dominik Brodowski:
"System calls are interaction points between userspace and the kernel.
Therefore, system call functions such as sys_xyzzy() or
compat_sys_xyzzy() should only be called from userspace via the
syscall table, but not from elsewhere in the kernel.
At least on 64-bit x86, it will likely be a hard requirement from
v4.17 onwards to not call system call functions in the kernel: It is
better to use use a different calling convention for system calls
there, where struct pt_regs is decoded on-the-fly in a syscall wrapper
which then hands processing over to the actual syscall function. This
means that only those parameters which are actually needed for a
specific syscall are passed on during syscall entry, instead of
filling in six CPU registers with random user space content all the
time (which may cause serious trouble down the call chain). Those
x86-specific patches will be pushed through the x86 tree in the near
future.
Moreover, rules on how data may be accessed may differ between kernel
data and user data. This is another reason why calling sys_xyzzy() is
generally a bad idea, and -- at most -- acceptable in arch-specific
code.
This patchset removes all in-kernel calls to syscall functions in the
kernel with the exception of arch/. On top of this, it cleans up the
three places where many syscalls are referenced or prototyped, namely
kernel/sys_ni.c, include/linux/syscalls.h and include/linux/compat.h"
