git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/luto/linux Pull pivot_root() fix from Andy Lutomirski. Prevent a leak of unreachable mounts. * 'CVE-2014-7970' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/luto/linux: mnt: Prevent pivot_root from creating a loop in the mount tree
2014-10-14mnt: Prevent pivot_root from creating a loop in the mount treeEric W. Biederman
Andy Lutomirski recently demonstrated that when chroot is used to set the root path below the path for the new ``root'' passed to pivot_root the pivot_root system call succeeds and leaks mounts. In examining the code I see that starting with a new root that is below the current root in the mount tree will result in a loop in the mount tree after the mounts are detached and then reattached to one another. Resulting in all kinds of ugliness including a leak of that mounts involved in the leak of the mount loop. Prevent this problem by ensuring that the new mount is reachable from the current root of the mount tree. [Added stable cc.

git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/luto/linux Pull do_umount fix from Andy Lutomirski: "This fix really ought to be safe. Inside a mountns owned by a non-root user namespace, the namespace root almost always has MNT_LOCKED set (if it doesn't, then there's a bug, because rootfs could be exposed). In that case, calling umount on "/" will return -EINVAL with or without this patch. Outside a userns, this patch will have no effect. may_mount, required by umount, already checks ns_capable(current->nsproxy->mnt_ns->user_ns, CAP_SYS_ADMIN) so an additional capable(CAP_SYS_ADMIN) check will have no effect. That leaves anything that calls umount on "/" in a non-root userns while chrooted. This is the case that is currently broken (it remounts ro, which shouldn't be allowed) and that my patch changes to -EPERM. If anything relies on *that*, I'd be surprised" * 'CVE-2014-7975' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/luto/linux: fs: Add a missing permission check to do_umount

2014-10-14mm: softdirty: enable write notifications on VMAs after VM_SOFTDIRTY clearedPeter Feiner
For VMAs that don't want write notifications, PTEs created for read faults have their write bit set. If the read fault happens after VM_SOFTDIRTY is cleared, then the PTE's softdirty bit will remain clear after subsequent writes. Here's a simple code snippet to demonstrate the bug: char* m = mmap(NULL, getpagesize(), PROT_READ | PROT_WRITE, MAP_ANONYMOUS | MAP_SHARED, -1, 0); system("echo 4 > /proc/$PPID/clear_refs"); /* clear VM_SOFTDIRTY */ assert(*m == '\0'); /* new PTE allows write access */ assert(!soft_dirty(x)); *m = 'x'; /* should dirty the page */ assert(soft_dirty(x)); /* fails */ With this patch, write notifications are enabled when VM_SOFTDIRTY is cleared. Furthermore, to avoid unnecessary faults, write notifications are disabled when VM_SOFTDIRTY is set. As a side effect of enabling and disabling write notifications with care, this patch fixes a bug in mprotect where vm_page_prot bits set by drivers were zapped on mprotect. An analogous bug was fixed in mmap by commit c9d0bf241451 ("mm: uncached vma support with writenotify").

2014-10-14kernel/watchdog.c: control hard lockup detection defaultUlrich Obergfell
In some cases we don't want hard lockup detection enabled by default. An example is when running as a guest. Introduce watchdog_enable_hardlockup_detector(bool) allowing those cases to disable hard lockup detection. This must be executed early by the boot processor from e.g. smp_prepare_boot_cpu, in order to allow kernel command line arguments to override it, as well as to avoid hard lockup detection being enabled before we've had a chance to indicate that it's unwanted. In summary, initial boot: default=enabled smp_prepare_boot_cpu watchdog_enable_hardlockup_detector(false): default=disabled cmdline has 'nmi_watchdog=1': default=enabled The running kernel still has the ability to enable/disable at any time with /proc/sys/kernel/nmi_watchdog us usual. However even when the default has been overridden /proc/sys/kernel/nmi_watchdog will initially show '1'. To truly turn it on one must disable/enable it, i.e. echo 0 > /proc/sys/kernel/nmi_watchdog echo 1 > /proc/sys/kernel/nmi_watchdog This patch will be immediately useful for KVM with the next patch of this series. Other hypervisor guest types may find it useful as well.

2014-10-14lib80211: remove unused print_ssid()Andy Shevchenko
In kernel we have %*pE specifier to print an escaped buffer. All users now switched to that approach. This fixes a bug as well. The current implementation wrongly prints octal numbers: only two first digits are used in case when 3 are required and the rest of the string ends up cut off. Additionally by default the \f, \v, \a, and \e are escaped to their alphabetic representation. It's safe to do since it is currently used for messaging only.

Because __next_mem_range_rev() will skip the hotpluggable memory regions. numa_clear_kernel_node_hotplug() is called after alloc node data. numa_init() ... ret = init_func(); // this will mark hotpluggable flag from SRAT ... memblock_set_bottom_up(false); ... ret = numa_register_memblks(&numa_meminfo); // this will alloc node data(pglist_data) ... numa_clear_kernel_node_hotplug(); // in case all the nodes are hotpluggable ... numa_register_memblks() setup_node_data() memblock_find_in_range_node() __memblock_find_range_top_down() for_each_mem_range_rev() __next_mem_range_rev() This patch moves numa_clear_kernel_node_hotplug() into numa_register_memblks(), clear kernel node hotpluggable flag before alloc node data, then alloc node data won't fail even all the nodes are hotpluggable.

2014-10-14fs: check bh blocknr earlier when searching lruZach Brown
It's very common for the buffer heads in the lru to have different block numbers. By comparing the blocknr before the bdev and size we can reduce the cost of searching in the very common case where all the entries have the same bdev and size. In quick hot cache cycle counting tests on a single fs workstation this cut the cost of a miss by about 20%. A diff of the disassembly shows the reordering of the bdev and blocknr comparisons. This is in such a tiny loop that skipping one comparison is a meaningful portion of the total work being done: 1628: 83 c1 01 add $0x1,%ecx 162b: 83 f9 08 cmp $0x8,%ecx 162e: 74 60 je 1690 <__find_get_block+0xa0> 1630: 89 c8 mov %ecx,%eax 1632: 65 4c 8b 04 c5 00 00 mov %gs:0x0(,%rax,8),%r8 1639: 00 00 163b: 4d 85 c0 test %r8,%r8 163e: 4c 89 c3 mov %r8,%rbx 1641: 74 e5 je 1628 <__find_get_block+0x38> - 1643: 4d 3b 68 30 cmp 0x30(%r8),%r13 + 1643: 4d 3b 68 18 cmp 0x18(%r8),%r13 1647: 75 df jne 1628 <__find_get_block+0x38> - 1649: 4d 3b 60 18 cmp 0x18(%r8),%r12 + 1649: 4d 3b 60 30 cmp 0x30(%r8),%r12 164d: 75 d9 jne 1628 <__find_get_block+0x38> 164f: 49 39 50 20 cmp %rdx,0x20(%r8) 1653: 75 d3 jne 1628 <__find_get_block+0x38> Signed-off-by: Zach Brown <zab@zabbo.net> Cc: Al Viro <viro@zeniv.linux.org.uk> Signed-off-by: Andrew Morton <akpm@linux-foundation.org> Signed-off-by: Linus Torvalds <torvalds@linux-foundation.org>
