Commit 9255782f70 ("sysfs: Wrap __compat_only_sysfs_link_entry_to_kobj
function to change the symlink name") made this function a wrapper
around a new non-underscored function, which is a bit odd. The normal
naming convention is the other way around: the underscored function is
the wrappee, and the non-underscored function is the wrapper.
There's only one single user (well, two call-sites in that user) of the
more limited double underscore version of this function, so just remove
the oddly named wrapper entirely and just add the extra NULL argument to
the user.
I considered just doing that in the merge, but that tends to make
history really hard to read.

Add a helper to change the owner of sysfs objects.
This function will be used to correctly account for kobject ownership
changes, e.g. when moving network devices between network namespaces.
This mirrors how a kobject is added through driver core which in its guts is
done via kobject_add_internal() which in summary creates the main directory via
create_dir(), populates that directory with the groups associated with the
ktype of the kobject (if any) and populates the directory with the basic
attributes associated with the ktype of the kobject (if any). These are the
basic steps that are associated with adding a kobject in sysfs.
Any additional properties are added by the specific subsystem itself (not by
driver core) after it has registered the device. So for the example of network
devices, a network device will e.g. register a queue subdirectory under the
basic sysfs directory for the network device and than further subdirectories
within that queues subdirectory. But that is all specific to network devices
and they call the corresponding sysfs functions to do that directly when they
create those queue objects. So anything that a subsystem adds outside of what
driver core does must also be changed by it (That's already true for removal of
files it created outside of driver core.) and it's the same for ownership
changes.

Pull vfs mount infrastructure updates from Al Viro:
"The rest of core infrastructure; no new syscalls in that pile, but the
old parts are switched to new infrastructure. At that point
conversions of individual filesystems can happen independently; some
are done here (afs, cgroup, procfs, etc.), there's also a large series
outside of that pile dealing with NFS (quite a bit of option-parsing
stuff is getting used there - it's one of the most convoluted
filesystems in terms of mount-related logics), but NFS bits are the
next cycle fodder.
It got seriously simplified since the last cycle; documentation is
probably the weakest bit at the moment - I considered dropping the
commit introducing Documentation/filesystems/mount_api.txt (cutting
the size increase by quarter ;-), but decided that it would be better
to fix it up after -rc1 instead.
That pile allows to do followup work in independent branches, which
should make life much easier for the next cycle. fs/super.c size
increase is unpleasant; there's a followup series that allows to
shrink it considerably, but I decided to leave that until the next
cycle"

...
Make kernfs support superblock creation/mount/remount with fs_context.
This requires that sysfs, cgroup and intel_rdt, which are built on kernfs,
be made to support fs_context also.
Notes:
(1) A kernfs_fs_context struct is created to wrap fs_context and the
kernfs mount parameters are moved in here (or are in fs_context).
(2) kernfs_mount{,_ns}() are made into kernfs_get_tree(). The extra
namespace tag parameter is passed in the context if desired
(3) kernfs_free_fs_context() is provided as a destructor for the
kernfs_fs_context struct, but for the moment it does nothing except
get called in the right places.
(4) sysfs doesn't wrap kernfs_fs_context since it has no parameters to
pass, but possibly this should be done anyway in case someone wants to
add a parameter in future.
(5) A cgroup_fs_context struct is created to wrap kernfs_fs_context and
the cgroup v1 and v2 mount parameters are all moved there.
(6) cgroup1 parameter parsing error messages are now handled by invalf(),
which allows userspace to collect them directly.
(7) cgroup1 parameter cleanup is now done in the context destructor rather
than in the mount/get_tree and remount functions.
Weirdies:
(*) cgroup_do_get_tree() calls cset_cgroup_from_root() with locks held,
but then uses the resulting pointer after dropping the locks. I'm
told this is okay and needs commenting.
(*) The cgroup refcount web. This really needs documenting.
(*) cgroup2 only has one root?
Add a suggestion from Thomas Gleixner in which the RDT enablement code is
placed into its own function.

It's rude to crash the system just because the developer did something
wrong, as it prevents them from usually even seeing what went wrong.
So convert the few BUG_ON() calls that have snuck into the sysfs code
over the years to WARN_ON() to make it more "friendly". All of these
are able to be recovered from, so it makes no sense to crash.

Normally kobjects and their sysfs representation belong to global root,
however it is not necessarily the case for objects in separate namespaces.
For example, objects in separate network namespace logically belong to the
container's root and not global root.
This change lays groundwork for allowing network namespace objects
ownership to be transferred to container's root user by defining
get_ownership() callback in ktype structure and using it in sysfs code to
retrieve desired uid/gid when creating sysfs objects for given kobject.

This change allows creating kernfs files and directories with arbitrary
uid/gid instead of always using GLOBAL_ROOT_UID/GID by extending
kernfs_create_dir_ns() and kernfs_create_file_ns() with uid/gid arguments.
The "simple" kernfs_create_file() and kernfs_create_dir() are left alone
and always create objects belonging to the global root.
When creating symlinks ownership (uid/gid) is taken from the target kernfs
object.

There are a couple of problems with named group updates in the code
today:
* sysfs_update_group() will always fail for a named group, because
internal_create_group() will try to create a new sysfs directory
unconditionally, which will ofcourse fail with -EEXIST.
* We can leak the kernfs_node for grp->name if some one tries to:
- rename a group (change grp->name), or
- update a named group, to an unnamed group
It appears that the whole purpose of sysfs_update_group() was to
allow changing the permissions or visibility of attributes and not
the names. So make it clear in the comments, and allow it to update
an existing named group.

new_sb is left uninitialized in case of early failures in kernfs_mount_ns(),
and while IS_ERR(root) is true in all such cases, using IS_ERR(root) || !new_sb
is not a solution - IS_ERR(root) is true in some cases when new_sb is true.
Make sure new_sb is initialized (and matches the reality) in all cases and
fix the condition for dropping kobj reference - we want it done precisely
in those situations where the reference has not been transferred into a new
super_block instance.

Pull printk updates from Petr Mladek:
- Add a console_msg_format command line option:
The value "default" keeps the old "[time stamp] text\n" format. The
value "syslog" allows to see the syslog-like "<log
level>[timestamp] text" format.
This feature was requested by people doing regression tests, for
example, 0day robot. They want to have both filtered and full logs
at hands.
- Reduce the risk of softlockup:
Pass the console owner in a busy loop.
This is a new approach to the old problem. It was first proposed by
Steven Rostedt on Kernel Summit 2017. It marks a context in which
the console_lock owner calls console drivers and could not sleep.
On the other side, printk() callers could detect this state and use
a busy wait instead of a simple console_trylock(). Finally, the
console_lock owner checks if there is a busy waiter at the end of
the special context and eventually passes the console_lock to the
waiter.
The hand-off works surprisingly well and helps in many situations.
Well, there is still a possibility of the softlockup, for example,
when the flood of messages stops and the last owner still has too
much to flush.
There is increasing number of people having problems with
printk-related softlockups. We might eventually need to get better
solution. Anyway, this looks like a good start and promising
direction.
- Do not allow to schedule in console_unlock() called from printk():
This reverts an older controversial commit. The reschedule helped
to avoid softlockups. But it also slowed down the console output.
This patch is obsoleted by the new console waiter logic described
above. In fact, the reschedule made the hand-off less effective.
- Deprecate "%pf" and "%pF" format specifier:
It was needed on ia64, ppc64 and parisc64 to dereference function
descriptors and show the real function address. It is done
transparently by "%ps" and "pS" format specifier now.
Sergey Senozhatsky found that all the function descriptors were in
a special elf section and could be easily detected.
- Remove printk_symbol() API:
It has been obsoleted by "%pS" format specifier, and this change
helped to remove few continuous lines and a less intuitive old API.
- Remove redundant memsets:
Sergey removed unnecessary memset when processing printk.devkmsg
command line option.

It's not good to crash the machine if panic_on_warn() is set just
because someone made a stupid mistake of trying to create a sysfs file
with the same name of an existing one. This makes the automated testing
tools a lot harder to find the real bugs in the kernel.
So just print a warning out and dump the stack to get the attention of
the developer that they did something foolish. Then keep on trucking,
as this should not be a fatal error at all.

ops->show() can return a negative error code.
Commit 65da3484d9 ("sysfs: correctly handle short reads on PREALLOC attrs.")
(in v4.4) caused this to be stored in an unsigned 'size_t' variable, so errors
would look like large numbers.
As a result, if an error is returned, sysfs_kf_read() will return the
value of 'count', typically 4096.
Commit 17d0774f80 ("sysfs: correctly handle read offset on PREALLOC attrs")
(in v4.8) extended this error to use the unsigned large 'len' as a size for
memmove().
Consequently, if ->show returns an error, then the first read() on the
sysfs file will return 4096 and could return uninitialized memory to
user-space.
If the application performs a subsequent read, this will trigger a memmove()
with extremely large count, and is likely to crash the machine is bizarre ways.
This bug can currently only be triggered by reading from an md
sysfs attribute declared with __ATTR_PREALLOC() during the
brief period between when mddev_put() deletes an mddev from
the ->all_mddevs list, and when mddev_delayed_delete() - which is
scheduled on a workqueue - completes.
Before this, an error won't be returned by the ->show()
After this, the ->show() won't be called.
I can reproduce it reliably only by putting delay like
usleep_range(500000,700000);
early in mddev_delayed_delete(). Then after creating an
md device md0 run
echo clear > /sys/block/md0/md/array_state; cat /sys/block/md0/md/array_state
The bug can be triggered without the usleep.

kernfs_path*() functions always return the length of the full path but
the path content is undefined if the length is larger than the
provided buffer. This makes its behavior different from strlcpy() and
requires error handling in all its users even when they don't care
about truncation. In addition, the implementation can actully be
simplified by making it behave properly in strlcpy() style.
* Update kernfs_path_from_node_locked() to always fill up the buffer
with path. If the buffer is not large enough, the output is
truncated and terminated.
* kernfs_path() no longer needs error handling. Make it a simple
inline wrapper around kernfs_path_from_node().
* sysfs_warn_dup()'s use of kernfs_path() doesn't need error handling.
Updated accordingly.
* cgroup_path()'s use of kernfs_path() updated to retain the old

The cgroup filesystem is in the same boat as sysfs. No one ever
permits executables of any kind on the cgroup filesystem, and there is
no reasonable future case to support executables in the future.
Therefore move the setting of SB_I_NOEXEC which makes the code proof
against future mistakes of accidentally creating executables from
sysfs to kernfs itself. Making the code simpler and covering the

Replace the call of fs_fully_visible in do_new_mount from before the
new superblock is allocated with a call of mount_too_revealing after
the superblock is allocated. This winds up being a much better location
for maintainability of the code.
The first change this enables is the replacement of FS_USERNS_VISIBLE
with SB_I_USERNS_VISIBLE. Moving the flag from struct filesystem_type
to sb_iflags on the superblock.
Unfortunately mount_too_revealing fundamentally needs to touch
mnt_flags adding several MNT_LOCKED_XXX flags at the appropriate
times. If the mnt_flags did not need to be touched the code
could be easily moved into the filesystem specific mount code.

According to the sysfs header file:
"The returned value will replace static permissions defined in

but this isn't the case, as is_visible is only called on struct attribute
only. This patch introduces a new is_bin_visible() function to implement
the same functionality for binary attributes, and updates documentation
accordingly.
Note that to keep functionality and code similar to that of normal
attributes, the mode is now checked as well to ensure it contains only
read/write permissions or SYSFS_PREALLOC.

Today proc and sysfs do not contain any executable files. Several
applications today mount proc or sysfs without noexec and nosuid and
then depend on there being no exectuables files on proc or sysfs.
Having any executable files show on proc or sysfs would cause
a user space visible regression, and most likely security problems.
Therefore commit to never allowing executables on proc and sysfs by
adding a new flag to mark them as filesystems without executables and
enforce that flag.
Test the flag where MNT_NOEXEC is tested today, so that the only user
visible effect will be that exectuables will be treated as if the
execute bit is cleared.
The filesystems proc and sysfs do not currently incoporate any
executable files so this does not result in any user visible effects.
This makes it unnecessary to vet changes to proc and sysfs tightly for
adding exectuable files or changes to chattr that would modify
existing files, as no matter what the individual file say they will
not be treated as exectuable files by the vfs.
Not having to vet changes to closely is important as without this we
are only one proc_create call (or another goof up in the
implementation of notify_change) from having problematic executables
on proc. Those mistakes are all too easy to make and would create
a situation where there are security issues or the assumptions of
some program having to be broken (and cause userspace regressions).
