security: introduce kernel_module_from_file hook
Now that kernel module origins can be reasoned about, provide a hook to
the LSMs to make policy decisions about the module file. This will let
Chrome OS enforce that loadable kernel modules can only come from its

read extended attributes for signatures, etc.

module: add syscall to load module from fd
As part of the effort to create a stronger boundary between root and
kernel, Chrome OS wants to be able to enforce that kernel modules are
being loaded only from our read-only crypto-hash verified (dm_verity)
root filesystem. Since the init_module syscall hands the kernel a module
as a memory blob, no reasoning about the origin of the blob can be made.
Earlier proposals for appending signatures to kernel modules would not be
useful in Chrome OS, since it would involve adding an additional set of
keys to our kernel and builds for no good reason: we already trust the
contents of our root filesystem. We don't need to verify those kernel
modules a second time. Having to do signature checking on module loading
would slow us down and be redundant. All we need to know is where a
module is coming from so we can say yes/no to loading it.
If a file descriptor is used as the source of a kernel module, many more
things can be reasoned about. In Chrome OS's case, we could enforce that
the module lives on the filesystem we expect it to live on. In the case
of IMA (or other LSMs), it would be possible, for example, to examine
extended attributes that may contain signatures over the contents of
the module.
This introduces a new syscall (on x86), similar to init_module, that has
only two arguments. The first argument is used as a file descriptor to
the module and the second argument is a pointer to the NULL terminated
string of module arguments.

"Unfortunately, I have two really late fixes. One was for a
long-standing bug and queued for 3.8 but I found out about a
regression introduced during 3.7-rc1 two days ago, so I'm sending out
the two fixes together.
The first (long-standing) one is rescuer_thread() entering exit path
w/ TASK_INTERRUPTIBLE. It only triggers on workqueue destructions
which isn't very frequent and the exit path can usually survive being
called with TASK_INTERRUPT, so it was hidden pretty well. Apparently,
if you're reiserfs, this could lead to the exiting kthread sleeping
indefinitely holding a mutex, which is never good.
The fix is simple - restoring TASK_RUNNING before returning from the
kthread function.
The second one is introduced by the new mod_delayed_work().
mod_delayed_work() was missing special case handling for 0 delay.
Instead of queueing the work item immediately, it queued the timer
which expires on the closest next tick. Some users of the new
function converted from "[__]cancel_delayed_work() +
queue_delayed_work()" combination became unhappy with the extra delay.
Block unplugging led to noticeably higher number of context switches
and intel 6250 wireless failed to associate with WPA-Enterprise
network. The fix, again, is fairly simple. The 0 delay special case
logic from queue_delayed_work_on() should be moved to
__queue_delayed_work() which is shared by both queue_delayed_work_on()
and mod_delayed_work_on().
The first one is difficult to trigger and the failure mode for the
latter isn't completely catastrophic, so missing these two for 3.7
wouldn't make it a disastrous release, but both bugs are nasty and the
fixes are fairly safe"

workqueue: mod_delayed_work_on() shouldn't queue timer on 0 delay
8376fe22c7 ("workqueue: implement mod_delayed_work[_on]()")
implemented mod_delayed_work[_on]() using the improved
try_to_grab_pending(). The function is later used, among others, to
replace [__]candel_delayed_work() + queue_delayed_work() combinations.
Unfortunately, a delayed_work item w/ zero @delay is handled slightly
differently by mod_delayed_work_on() compared to
queue_delayed_work_on(). The latter skips timer altogether and
directly queues it using queue_work_on() while the former schedules
timer which will expire on the closest tick. This means, when @delay
is zero, that [__]cancel_delayed_work() + queue_delayed_work_on()
makes the target item immediately executable while
mod_delayed_work_on() may induce delay of upto a full tick.
This somewhat subtle difference breaks some of the converted users.
e.g. block queue plugging uses delayed_work for deferred processing
and uses mod_delayed_work_on() when the queue needs to be immediately
unplugged. The above problem manifested as noticeably higher number
of context switches under certain circumstances.
The difference in behavior was caused by missing special case handling
for 0 delay in mod_delayed_work_on() compared to
queue_delayed_work_on(). Joonsoo Kim posted a patch to add it -
("workqueue: optimize mod_delayed_work_on() when @delay == 0")[1].
The patch was queued for 3.8 but it was described as optimization and
I missed that it was a correctness issue.
As both queue_delayed_work_on() and mod_delayed_work_on() use
__queue_delayed_work() for queueing, it seems that the better approach
is to move the 0 delay special handling to the function instead of
duplicating it in mod_delayed_work_on().
Fix the problem by moving 0 delay special case handling from
queue_delayed_work_on() to __queue_delayed_work(). This replaces
Joonsoo's patch.

Tested with a 64-bit kernel on a 4-core Ivybridge CPU with eagerfpu=off,

mm: avoid waking kswapd for THP allocations when compaction is deferred or contended
With "mm: vmscan: scale number of pages reclaimed by reclaim/compaction
based on failures" reverted, Zdenek Kabelac reported the following
Hmm, so it's just took longer to hit the problem and observe
kswapd0 spinning on my CPU again - it's not as endless like before -
but still it easily eats minutes - it helps to turn off Firefox
or TB (memory hungry apps) so kswapd0 stops soon - and restart
those apps again. (And I still have like >1GB of cached memory)
The sysrq+m indicates the system has no swap so it'll never reclaim
anonymous pages as part of reclaim/compaction. That is one part of the
problem but not the root cause as file-backed pages could also be
reclaimed.
The likely underlying problem is that kswapd is woken up or kept awake
for each THP allocation request in the page allocator slow path.
If compaction fails for the requesting process then compaction will be
deferred for a time and direct reclaim is avoided. However, if there
are a storm of THP requests that are simply rejected, it will still be
the the case that kswapd is awake for a prolonged period of time as
pgdat->kswapd_max_order is updated each time. This is noticed by the
main kswapd() loop and it will not call kswapd_try_to_sleep(). Instead
it will loopp, shrinking a small number of pages and calling
shrink_slab() on each iteration.
This patch defers when kswapd gets woken up for THP allocations. For
!THP allocations, kswapd is always woken up. For THP allocations,
kswapd is woken up iff the process is willing to enter into direct
reclaim/compaction.

mm: vmscan: fix endless loop in kswapd balancing
Kswapd does not in all places have the same criteria for a balanced
zone. Zones are only being reclaimed when their high watermark is
breached, but compaction checks loop over the zonelist again when the
zone does not meet the low watermark plus two times the size of the
allocation. This gets kswapd stuck in an endless loop over a small
zone, like the DMA zone, where the high watermark is smaller than the
compaction requirement.
Add a function, zone_balanced(), that checks the watermark, and, for
higher order allocations, if compaction has enough free memory. Then
use it uniformly to check for balanced zones.
This makes sure that when the compaction watermark is not met, at least
reclaim happens and progress is made - or the zone is declared
unreclaimable at some point and skipped entirely.

cifs: fix writeback race with file that is growing
Commit eddb079deb4 created a regression in the writepages codepath.
Previously, whenever it needed to check the size of the file, it did so
by consulting the inode->i_size field directly. With that patch, the
i_size was fetched once on entry into the writepages code and that value
was used henceforth.
If the file is changing size though (for instance, if someone is writing
to it or has truncated it), then that value is likely to be wrong. This
can lead to data corruption. Pages past the EOF at the time that the
writepages call was issued may be silently dropped and ignored because
cifs_writepages wrongly assumes that the file must have been truncated
in the interim.
Fix cifs_writepages to properly fetch the size from the inode->i_size
field instead to properly account for this possibility.

While futex_wake() is careful to not call wake_futex() on futex_q's with

writeback: put unused inodes to LRU after writeback completion
Commit 169ebd90131b ("writeback: Avoid iput() from flusher thread")
removed iget-iput pair from inode writeback. As a side effect, inodes
that are dirty during iput_final() call won't be ever added to inode LRU
(iput_final() doesn't add dirty inodes to LRU and later when the inode
is cleaned there's noone to add the inode there). Thus inodes are
effectively unreclaimable until someone looks them up again.
The practical effect of this bug is limited by the fact that inodes are
pinned by a dentry for long enough that the inode gets cleaned. But
still the bug can have nasty consequences leading up to OOM conditions
under certain circumstances. Following can easily reproduce the
problem:
for (( i = 0; i < 1000; i++ )); do
mkdir $i
for (( j = 0; j < 1000; j++ )); do
touch $i/$j
echo 2 > /proc/sys/vm/drop_caches
done
done
then one needs to run 'sync; ls -lR' to make inodes reclaimable again.
We fix the issue by inserting unused clean inodes into the LRU after
writeback finishes in inode_sync_complete().

mm: vmscan: check for fatal signals iff the process was throttled
Commit 5515061d22f0 ("mm: throttle direct reclaimers if PF_MEMALLOC
reserves are low and swap is backed by network storage") introduced a
check for fatal signals after a process gets throttled for network
storage. The intention was that if a process was throttled and got
killed that it should not trigger the OOM killer. As pointed out by
Minchan Kim and David Rientjes, this check is in the wrong place and too
broad. If a system is in am OOM situation and a process is exiting, it
can loop in __alloc_pages_slowpath() and calling direct reclaim in a
loop. As the fatal signal is pending it returns 1 as if it is making
forward progress and can effectively deadlock.
This patch moves the fatal_signal_pending() check after throttling to
throttle_direct_reclaim() where it belongs. If the process is killed
while throttled, it will return immediately without direct reclaim
except now it will have TIF_MEMDIE set and will use the PFMEMALLOC
reserves.
Minchan pointed out that it may be better to direct reclaim before
returning to avoid using the reserves because there may be pages that
can easily reclaim that would avoid using the reserves. However, we do
no such targetted reclaim and there is no guarantee that suitable pages
are available. As it is expected that this throttling happens when
swap-over-NFS is used there is a possibility that the process will
instead swap which may allocate network buffers from the PFMEMALLOC
reserves. Hence, in the swap-over-nfs case where a process can be
throtted and be killed it can use the reserves to exit or it can
potentially use reserves to swap a few pages and then exit. This patch
takes the option of using the reserves if necessary to allow the process
exit quickly.
If this patch passes review it should be considered a -stable candidate
for 3.6.

Revert "mm: remove __GFP_NO_KSWAPD"
With "mm: vmscan: scale number of pages reclaimed by reclaim/compaction
based on failures" reverted, Zdenek Kabelac reported the following
Hmm, so it's just took longer to hit the problem and observe
kswapd0 spinning on my CPU again - it's not as endless like before -
but still it easily eats minutes - it helps to turn off Firefox
or TB (memory hungry apps) so kswapd0 stops soon - and restart
those apps again. (And I still have like >1GB of cached memory)
The sysrq+m indicates the system has no swap so it'll never reclaim
anonymous pages as part of reclaim/compaction. That is one part of the
problem but not the root cause as file-backed pages could also be
reclaimed.
The likely underlying problem is that kswapd is woken up or kept awake
for each THP allocation request in the page allocator slow path.
If compaction fails for the requesting process then compaction will be
deferred for a time and direct reclaim is avoided. However, if there
are a storm of THP requests that are simply rejected, it will still be
the the case that kswapd is awake for a prolonged period of time as
pgdat->kswapd_max_order is updated each time. This is noticed by the
main kswapd() loop and it will not call kswapd_try_to_sleep(). Instead
it will loopp, shrinking a small number of pages and calling
shrink_slab() on each iteration.
The temptation is to supply a patch that checks if kswapd was woken for
THP and if so ignore pgdat->kswapd_max_order but it'll be a hack and not
backed up by proper testing. As 3.7 is very close to release and this
is not a bug we should release with, a safer path is to revert "mm:
remove __GFP_NO_KSWAPD" for now and revisit it with the view to ironing
out the balance_pgdat() logic in general.
Commit 7b540d0646ce ("proc_map_files_readdir(): don't bother with
grabbing files") switched proc_map_files_readdir() to use @f_mode
directly instead of grabbing @file reference, but same time the test for
@vm_file presence was lost leading to nil dereference. The patch brings
the test back.
The all proc_map_files feature is CONFIG_CHECKPOINT_RESTORE wrapped
(which is set to 'n' by default) so the bug doesn't affect regular
kernels.
The regression is 3.7-rc1 only as far as I can tell.

In __emulate_1op_rax_rdx, we use "+a" and "+d" which are input/output
constraints, and *then* use "a" and "d" as input constraints. This is
incorrect, but happens to work on some versions of gcc.
However, it breaks gcc with -O0 and icc, and may break on future
versions of gcc.

c6x: fix misleading comment
A comment in entry.S incorrectly stated that interrupt vectors
called __do_IRQ() and that int6 vector was used for syscalls.
Both statements are incorrect for the current kernel, so this
patch cleans up the wording to reflect current reality.

Set in the rx_ifindex to pass the correct interface index in the case of a

did not contain a valid value.

can: peak_usb: fix hwtstamp assignment
The skb->tstamp is set to the hardware timestamp when available in the USB
urb message. This leads to user visible timestamps which contain the 'uptime'
of the USB adapter - and not the usual system generated timestamp.
Fix this wrong assignment by applying the available hardware timestamp to the
skb_shared_hwtstamps data structure - which is intended for this purpose.

powerpc/eeh: Do not invalidate PE properly
While the EEH does recovery on the specific PE that has PCI errors,
the PCI devices belonging to the PE will be removed and the PE will
be marked as invalid since we still need the information stored in
the PE. We only invalidate the PE when it doesn't have associated
EEH devices and valid child PEs. However, the code used to check
that is wrong. The patch fixes that.

Revert "drm/i915: enable rc6 on ilk again"
Even with the cumulative set of ilk w/a, rc6 is demonstrably still
failing and causing GPU hangs as found by Peter Wu. So we need to disable
it again until it is stable.
or even later commits that affect the gem bo recycling, which all is
way past the point where we re-enabled rc6. But somehow
reverting/disabling those commits doesn't help, but disabling rc6 at
least helps for many hangs on ilk. Obviously it doesn't change
anything at all on gen4, and there are still strange issues left on
gen5 (which we unfortunately can't readily reproduce).
Also, the error_state signature of the hangs which can be fixed with
this patch look remarkably different to those which seem to be
unaffected by the rc6 settings: The rc6 hangs are in the ring,
somewhere in the MI_FLUSH/PIPE_CONTROL sequence to make ilk coherent,
wheras all the other hangs tend to be at a random point in the middle
of the user batch. So it could also be that we have different issues.
Until we grow more clue, this at least helps some users.

"The most important part of this is that it fixes a regression in
Samsung NAND chip detection, introduced by some rework which went into
3.7. The initial fix wasn't quite complete, so it's in two parts. In
fact the first part is committed twice (Artem committed his own copy
of the same patch) and I've merged Artem's tree into mine which
already had that fix.
I'd have recommitted that to make it somewhat cleaner, but figured by
this point in the release cycle it was better to merge *exactly* the
commits which have been in linux-next.
If I'd recommitted, I'd also omit the sparse warning fix. But it's
there, and it's harmless — just marking one function as 'static' in
onenand code.
This also includes a couple more fixes for stable: an AB-BA deadlock
in JFFS2, and an invalid range check in slram."
