Comment in include/linux/security.h says that ->inode_killpriv() should
be called when setuid bit is being removed and that similar security
labels (in fact this applies only to file capabilities) should be
removed at this time as well. However we don't call ->inode_killpriv()
when we remove suid bit on truncate.
We fix the problem by calling ->inode_need_killpriv() and subsequently
->inode_killpriv() on truncate the same way as we do it on file write.
After this patch there's only one user of should_remove_suid() - ocfs2 -
and indeed it's buggy because it doesn't call ->inode_killpriv() on
write. However fixing it is difficult because of special locking
constraints.

file_remove_suid() is a misnomer since it removes also file capabilities
stored in xattrs and sets S_NOSEC flag. Also should_remove_suid() tells

Make file->f_path always point to the overlay dentry so that the path in
/proc/pid/fd is correct and to ensure that label-based LSMs have access to the
overlay as well as the underlay (path-based LSMs probably don't need it).
Using my union testsuite to set things up, before the patch I see:
[root@andromeda union-testsuite]# bash 5</mnt/a/foo107
[root@andromeda union-testsuite]# ls -l /proc/$$/fd/
...
lr-x------. 1 root root 64 Jun 5 14:38 5 -> /a/foo107

...
[root@andromeda union-testsuite]# stat -L /proc/$$/fd/5
...

After the patch:
[root@andromeda union-testsuite]# bash 5</mnt/a/foo107
[root@andromeda union-testsuite]# ls -l /proc/$$/fd/
...
lr-x------. 1 root root 64 Jun 5 14:22 5 -> /mnt/a/foo107

...
[root@andromeda union-testsuite]# stat -L /proc/$$/fd/5
...
Device: 23h/35d Inode: 40346 Links: 1

Note the change in where /proc/$$/fd/5 points to in the ls command. It was
pointing to /a/foo107 (which doesn't exist) and now points to /mnt/a/foo107
(which is correct).

inode_follow_link now takes an inode and rcu flag as well as the
dentry.
inode is used in preference to d_backing_inode(dentry), particularly
in RCU-walk mode.
selinux_inode_follow_link() gets dentry_has_perm() and
inode_has_perm() open-coded into it so that it can call
avc_has_perm_flags() in way that is safe if LOOKUP_RCU is set.
Calling avc_has_perm_flags() with rcu_read_lock() held means
that when avc_has_perm_noaudit calls avc_compute_av(), the attempt
to rcu_read_unlock() before calling security_compute_av() will not
actually drop the RCU read-lock.
However as security_compute_av() is completely in a read_lock()ed
region, it should be safe with the RCU read-lock held.

task_struct currently contains two ad-hoc members for use by the VFS:
link_count and total_link_count. These are only interesting to fs/namei.c,
so exposing them explicitly is poor layering. Incidentally, link_count
isn't used anymore, so it can just die.
This patches replaces those with a single pointer to 'struct nameidata'.
This structure represents the current filename lookup of which
there can only be one per process, and is a natural place to
store total_link_count.
This will allow the current "nameidata" argument to all
follow_link operations to be removed as current->nameidata
can be used instead in the _very_ few instances that care about
it at all.
As there are occasional circumstances where pathname lookup can
recurse, such as through kern_path_locked, we always save and old
current->nameidata (if there is one) when setting a new value, and
make sure any active link_counts are preserved.
follow_mount and follow_automount now get a 'struct nameidata *'
rather than 'int flags' so that they can directly access
total_link_count, rather than going through 'current'.

a) instead of storing the symlink body (via nd_set_link()) and returning
an opaque pointer later passed to ->put_link(), ->follow_link() _stores_
that opaque pointer (into void * passed by address by caller) and returns
the symlink body. Returning ERR_PTR() on error, NULL on jump (procfs magic
symlinks) and pointer to symlink body for normal symlinks. Stored pointer
is ignored in all cases except the last one.
Storing NULL for opaque pointer (or not storing it at all) means no call
of ->put_link().
b) the body used to be passed to ->put_link() implicitly (via nameidata).
Now only the opaque pointer is. In the cases when we used the symlink body
to free stuff, ->follow_link() now should store it as opaque pointer in addition
to returning it.

is wrong; it accepts the case of "level == NILFS_BTREE_LEVEL_MAX" even
though the level is limited to values in the range of 0 to
(NILFS_BTREE_LEVEL_MAX - 1).
Since the level parameter is read from storage device and used to index
nilfs_btree_path array whose element count is NILFS_BTREE_LEVEL_MAX, it
can cause memory overrun during btree operations if the boundary value
is set to the level parameter on device.
This fixes the broken sanity check and adds a comment to clarify that

In commit 0b053c9518 ("lib: memzero_explicit: use barrier instead
of OPTIMIZER_HIDE_VAR"), we made memzero_explicit() more robust in
case LTO would decide to inline memzero_explicit() and eventually
find out it could be elimiated as dead store.
While using barrier() works well for the case of gcc, recent efforts
from LLVMLinux people suggest to use llvm as an alternative to gcc,
and there, Stephan found in a simple stand-alone user space example
that llvm could nevertheless optimize and thus elimitate the memset().
A similar issue has been observed in the referenced llvm bug report,
which is regarded as not-a-bug.
Based on some experiments, icc is a bit special on its own, while it
doesn't seem to eliminate the memset(), it could do so with an own
implementation, and then result in similar findings as with llvm.
The fix in this patch now works for all three compilers (also tested
with more aggressive optimization levels). Arguably, in the current
kernel tree it's more of a theoretical issue, but imho, it's better
to be pedantic about it.
It's clearly visible with gcc/llvm though, with the below code: if we
would have used barrier() only here, llvm would have omitted clearing,
not so with barrier_data() variant:
static inline void memzero_explicit(void *s, size_t count)
{
memset(s, 0, count);
barrier_data(s);
}
int main(void)
{
char buff[20];
memzero_explicit(buff, sizeof(buff));
return 0;
}

As gcc, clang, but also icc defines __GNUC__, it's sufficient to define
this in compiler-gcc.h only to be picked up. For a fallback or otherwise
unsupported compiler, we define it as a barrier. Similarly, for ecc which
does not support gcc inline asm.

This reverts commits 0a4e6be9ca
and 80f7fdb1c7.
The task migration notifier was originally introduced in order to support
the pvclock vsyscall with non-synchronized TSC, but KVM only supports it
with synchronized TSC. Hence, on KVM the race condition is only needed
due to a bad implementation on the host side, and even then it's so rare
that it's mostly theoretical.
As far as KVM is concerned it's possible to fix the host, avoiding the
additional complexity in the vDSO and the (re)introduction of the task
migration notifier.
Xen, on the other hand, hasn't yet implemented vsyscall support at
all, so we do not care about its plans for non-synchronized TSC.

exception for graphics devices, just as we do USB controllers.
Finally, tone down the warning about the X2APIC_OPT_OUT bit, due to
persistent requests. X2APIC_OPT_OUT was added to the spec as a nasty
hack to allow broken BIOSes to forbid us from using X2APIC when they
do stupid and invasive things and would break if we did.
Someone noticed that since Windows doesn't have full IOMMU support for
DMA protection, setting the X2APIC_OPT_OUT bit made Windows avoid
initialising the IOMMU on the graphics unit altogether.
This means that it would be available for use in "driver mode", where
the IOMMU registers are made available through a BAR of the graphics
device and the graphics driver can do SVM all for itself.
So they started setting the X2APIC_OPT_OUT bit on *all* platforms with
SVM capabilities. And even the platforms which *might*, if the
planets had been aligned correctly, possibly have had SVM capability
but which in practice actually don't"

Pull chrome platform updates from Olof Johansson:
"Here's a set of updates to the Chrome OS platform drivers for this
merge window.
Main new things this cycle is:
- Driver changes to expose the lightbar to users. With this, you can
make your own blinkenlights on Chromebook Pixels.
- Changes in the way that the atmel_mxt trackpads are probed. The
laptop driver is trying to be smart and not instantiate the devices
that don't answer to probe. For the trackpad that can come up in
two modes (bootloader or regular), this gets complicated since the
driver already knows how to handle the two modes including the
actual addresses used. So now the laptop driver needs to know more
too, instantiating the regular address even if the bootloader one
is the probe that passed.
- mfd driver improvements by Javier Martines Canillas, and a few
bugfixes from him, kbuild and myself"

do_blockdev_direct_IO() increments and decrements the inode
->i_dio_count for each IO operation. It does this to protect against
truncate of a file. Block devices don't need this sort of protection.
For a capable multiqueue setup, this atomic int is the only shared
state between applications accessing the device for O_DIRECT, and it
presents a scaling wall for that. In my testing, as much as 30% of
system time is spent incrementing and decrementing this value. A mixed
read/write workload improved from ~2.5M IOPS to ~9.6M IOPS, with
better latencies too. Before:

In other setups, Robert Elliott reported seeing good performance
improvements:

The more applications accessing the device, the worse it gets.
Add a new direct-io flags, DIO_SKIP_DIO_COUNT, which tells
do_blockdev_direct_IO() that it need not worry about incrementing
or decrementing the inode i_dio_count for this caller.
