Linus Torvalds 14986a34e1 Merge branch 'for-linus' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/ebiederm/user-namespace
Pull namespace updates from Eric Biederman:
 "This set of changes is a number of smaller things that have been
  overlooked in other development cycles focused on more fundamental
  change. The devpts changes are small things that were a distraction
  until we managed to kill off DEVPTS_MULTPLE_INSTANCES. There is an
  trivial regression fix to autofs for the unprivileged mount changes
  that went in last cycle. A pair of ioctls has been added by Andrey
  Vagin making it is possible to discover the relationships between
  namespaces when referring to them through file descriptors.

  The big user visible change is starting to add simple resource limits
  to catch programs that misbehave. With namespaces in general and user
  namespaces in particular allowing users to use more kinds of
  resources, it has become important to have something to limit errant
  programs. Because the purpose of these limits is to catch errant
  programs the code needs to be inexpensive to use as it always on, and
  the default limits need to be high enough that well behaved programs
  on well behaved systems don't encounter them.

  To this end, after some review I have implemented per user per user
  namespace limits, and use them to limit the number of namespaces. The
  limits being per user mean that one user can not exhause the limits of
  another user. The limits being per user namespace allow contexts where
  the limit is 0 and security conscious folks can remove from their
  threat anlysis the code used to manage namespaces (as they have
  historically done as it root only). At the same time the limits being
  per user namespace allow other parts of the system to use namespaces.

  Namespaces are increasingly being used in application sand boxing
  scenarios so an all or nothing disable for the entire system for the
  security conscious folks makes increasing use of these sandboxes
  impossible.

  There is also added a limit on the maximum number of mounts present in
  a single mount namespace. It is nontrivial to guess what a reasonable
  system wide limit on the number of mount structure in the kernel would
  be, especially as it various based on how a system is using
  containers. A limit on the number of mounts in a mount namespace
  however is much easier to understand and set. In most cases in
  practice only about 1000 mounts are used. Given that some autofs
  scenarious have the potential to be 30,000 to 50,000 mounts I have set
  the default limit for the number of mounts at 100,000 which is well
  above every known set of users but low enough that the mount hash
  tables don't degrade unreaonsably.

  These limits are a start. I expect this estabilishes a pattern that
  other limits for resources that namespaces use will follow. There has
  been interest in making inotify event limits per user per user
  namespace as well as interest expressed in making details about what
  is going on in the kernel more visible"

Subash Abhinov Kasiviswanathan e7d316a02f sysctl: handle error writing UINT_MAX to u32 fields
We have scripts which write to certain fields on 3.18 kernels but this
seems to be failing on 4.4 kernels.  An entry which we write to here is
xfrm_aevent_rseqth which is u32.

  echo 4294967295  > /proc/sys/net/core/xfrm_aevent_rseqth

Commit 230633d109 ("kernel/sysctl.c: detect overflows when converting
to int") prevented writing to sysctl entries when integer overflow
occurs.  However, this does not apply to unsigned integers.

Heinrich suggested that we introduce a new option to handle 64 bit
limits and set min as 0 and max as UINT_MAX.  This might not work as it
leads to issues similar to __do_proc_doulongvec_minmax.  Alternatively,
we would need to change the datatype of the entry to 64 bit.

  static int __do_proc_doulongvec_minmax(void *data, struct ctl_table
  {
      i = (unsigned long *) data;   //This cast is causing to read beyond the size of data (u32)
      vleft = table->maxlen / sizeof(unsigned long); //vleft is 0 because maxlen is sizeof(u32) which is lesser than sizeof(unsigned long) on x86_64.

Introduce a new proc handler proc_douintvec.  Individual proc entries
will need to be updated to use the new handler.

This also allows us to clean up net_ctl_permissions() because we do not

Eric W. Biederman ac13ac6f4c sysctl: Index sysctl directories with rbtrees.
One of the most important jobs of sysctl is to export network stack
tunables.  Several of those tunables are per network device.  In
several instances people are running with 1000+ network devices in
there network stacks, which makes the simple per directory linked list
in sysctl a scaling bottleneck.   Replace O(N^2) sysctl insertion and
lookup times with O(NlogN) by using an rbtree to index the sysctl
directories.

Benchmark before:
    make-dummies 0 999 -> 0.32s
    rmmod dummy        -> 0.12s
    make-dummies 0 9999 -> 1m17s
    rmmod dummy         -> 17s

Benchmark after:
    make-dummies 0 999 -> 0.074s
    rmmod dummy        -> 0.070s
    make-dummies 0 9999 -> 3.4s
    rmmod dummy         -> 0.44s

Benchmark after (without dev_snmp6):
    make-dummies 0 9999 -> 0.75s
    rmmod dummy         -> 0.44s
    make-dummies 0 99999 -> 11s
    rmmod dummy          -> 4.3s

At 10,000 dummy devices the bottleneck becomes the time to add and
remove the files under /proc/sys/net/dev_snmp6.  I have commented
out the code that adds and removes files under /proc/sys/net/dev_snmp6
and taken measurments of creating and destroying 100,000 dummies to
verify the sysctl continues to scale.

Eric W. Biederman 0e47c99d7f sysctl: Replace root_list with links between sysctl_table_sets.
Piecing together directories by looking first in one directory
tree, than in another directory tree and finally in a third
directory tree makes it hard to verify that some directory
entries are not multiply defined and makes it hard to create
efficient implementations the sysctl filesystem.

Replace the sysctl wide list of roots with autogenerated
links from the core sysctl directory tree to the other
sysctl directory trees.

This simplifies sysctl directory reading and lookups as now
only entries in a single sysctl directory tree need to be
considered.

Benchmark before:
    make-dummies 0 999 -> 0.44s
    rmmod dummy        -> 0.065s
    make-dummies 0 9999 -> 1m36s
    rmmod dummy         -> 0.4s

Benchmark after:

    make-dummies 0 9999 -> 2m35s
    rmmod dummy         -> 18s

The slowdown is caused by the lookups used in insert_headers
and put_links to see if we need to add links or remove links.

Eric W. Biederman 7ec66d0636 sysctl: Stop requiring explicit management of sysctl directories
Simplify the code and the sysctl semantics by autogenerating
sysctl directories when a sysctl table is registered that needs
the directories and autodeleting the directories when there are
no more sysctl tables registered that need them.

Autogenerating directories keeps sysctl tables from depending
on each other, removing all of the arcane register/unregister
ordering constraints and makes it impossible to get the order
wrong when reigsering and unregistering sysctl tables.

Autogenerating directories yields one unique entity that dentries
can point to, retaining the current effective use of the dcache.

Add struct ctl_dir as the type of these new autogenerated
directories.

The attached_by and attached_to fields in ctl_table_header are
removed as they are no longer needed.

The child field in ctl_table is no longer needed by the core of
the sysctl code.  ctl_table.child can be removed once all of the
existing users have been updated.

Benchmark before:
    make-dummies 0 999 -> 0.7s
    rmmod dummy        -> 0.07s

Eric W. Biederman f728019bb7 sysctl: register only tables of sysctl files
Split the registration of a complex ctl_table array which may have
arbitrary numbers of directories (->child != NULL) and tables of files
into a series of simpler registrations that only register tables of files.

Graphically:

   register('dir', { + file-a
                     + file-b
                     + subdir1
                       + file-c
                     + subdir2
                       + file-d
                       + file-e })

is transformed into:
   wrapper->subheaders[0] = register('dir', {file1-a, file1-b})
   wrapper->subheaders[1] = register('dir/subdir1', {file-c})
   wrapper->subheaders[2] = register('dir/subdir2', {file-d, file-e})
   return wrapper

This guarantees that __register_sysctl_table will only see a simple
ctl_table array with all entries having (->child == NULL).

Care was taken to pass the original simple ctl_table arrays to
__register_sysctl_table whenever possible.

This change is derived from a similar patch written
by Lucrian Grijincu.

Make __register_sysctl_table the core sysctl registration operation and

Now that binary paths have been banished into the real of backwards

path names when registering ctl_tables.

Start the transition to using normal char * strings to represent
pathnames when registering sysctl tables.  Normal strings are easier
to deal with both in the internal sysctl implementation and for
programmers registering sysctl tables.

__register_sysctl_paths is turned into a backwards compatibility wrapper

Al Viro dfef6dcd35 unfuck proc_sysctl ->d_compare()
a) struct inode is not going to be freed under ->d_compare();
however, the thing PROC_I(inode)->sysctl points to just might.
Fortunately, it's enough to make freeing that sucker delayed,
provided that we don't step on its ->unregistering, clear
the pointer to it in PROC_I(inode) before dropping the reference
and check if it's NULL in ->d_compare().

b) I'm not sure that we *can* walk into NULL inode here (we recheck
dentry->seq between verifying that it's still hashed / fetching
dentry->d_inode and passing it to ->d_compare() and there's no
negative hashed dentries in /proc/sys/*), but if we can walk into
that, we really should not have ->d_compare() return 0 on it!
Said that, I really suspect that this check can be simply killed.

Octavian Purdila 9f977fb7ae sysctl: add proc_do_large_bitmap
The new function can be used to read/write large bitmaps via /proc. A
comma separated range format is used for compact output and input
(e.g. 1,3-4,10-10).

Writing into the file will first reset the bitmap then update it
based on the given input.

Eric W. Biederman 54716e3beb net neigh: Decouple per interface neighbour table controls from binary sysctls
Stop computing the number of neighbour table settings we have by
counting the number of binary sysctls.  This behaviour was silly
and meant that we could not add another neighbour table setting
without also adding another binary sysctl.

Don't pass the binary sysctl path for neighour table entries
into neigh_sysctl_register.  These parameters are no longer
used and so are just dead code.

Jesper Dangaard Brouer 65324144b5 net: RFC3069, private VLAN proxy arp support
This is to be used together with switch technologies, like RFC3069,
that where the individual ports are not allowed to communicate with
each other, but they are allowed to talk to the upstream router.  As
described in RFC 3069, it is possible to allow these hosts to
communicate through the upstream router by proxy_arp'ing.

This patch basically allow proxy arp replies back to the same
interface (from which the ARP request/solicitation was received).

Tunable per device via proc "proxy_arp_pvlan":
  /proc/sys/net/ipv4/conf/*/proxy_arp_pvlan

This switch technology is known by different vendor names:
 - In RFC 3069 it is called VLAN Aggregation.
 - Cisco and Allied Telesyn call it Private VLAN.
 - Hewlett-Packard call it Source-Port filtering or port-isolation.
 - Ericsson call it MAC-Forced Forwarding (RFC Draft).

Jamal Hadi Salim 28f6aeea3f net: restore ip source validation
when using policy routing and the skb mark:
there are cases where a back path validation requires us
to use a different routing table for src ip validation than
the one used for mapping ingress dst ip.
One such a case is transparent proxying where we pretend to be
the destination system and therefore the local table
is used for incoming packets but possibly a main table would
be used on outbound.
Make the default behavior to allow the above and if users
need to turn on the symmetry via sysctl src_valid_mark

    ipv4: add sysctl to accept packets with local source addresses

    Change fib_validate_source() to accept packets with a local source address when
    the "accept_local" sysctl is set for the incoming inet device. Combined with the
    previous patches, this allows to communicate between multiple local interfaces
    over the wire.

The ctl_name and strategy fields are unused, now that sys_sysctl

at them in the generic code is effectively what we are doing
now and provides the guarantee that during further cleanups
we can just remove references to those fields and everything
will work ok.
