Pull structure randomization updates from Kees Cook:
 "Now that IPC and other changes have landed, enable manual markings for
  randstruct plugin, including the task_struct.

  This is the rest of what was staged in -next for the gcc-plugins, and
  comes in three patches, largest first:

   - mark "easy" structs with __randomize_layout

   - mark task_struct with an optional anonymous struct to isolate the
     __randomize_layout section

   - mark structs to opt _out_ of automated marking (which will come
     later)

  And, FWIW, this continues to pass allmodconfig (normal and patched to
  enable gcc-plugins) builds of x86_64, i386, arm64, arm, powerpc, and
  s390 for me"

Akinobu Mita 9049f2f6e7 fault-inject: parse as natural 1-based value for fail-nth write interface
The value written to fail-nth file is parsed as 0-based.  Parsing as
one-based is more natural to understand and it enables to cancel the
previous setup by simply writing '0'.

This change also converts task->fail_nth from signed to unsigned int.

Dmitry Vyukov e41d58185f fault-inject: support systematic fault injection
Add /proc/self/task/<current-tid>/fail-nth file that allows failing
0-th, 1-st, 2-nd and so on calls systematically.
Excerpt from the added documentation:

 "Write to this file of integer N makes N-th call in the current task
  fail (N is 0-based). Read from this file returns a single char 'Y' or
  'N' that says if the fault setup with a previous write to this file
  was injected or not, and disables the fault if it wasn't yet injected.
  Note that this file enables all types of faults (slab, futex, etc).
  This setting takes precedence over all other generic settings like
  probability, interval, times, etc. But per-capability settings (e.g.
  fail_futex/ignore-private) take precedence over it. This feature is
  intended for systematic testing of faults in a single system call. See
  an example below"

Why add a new setting:
1. Existing settings are global rather than per-task.
   So parallel testing is not possible.
2. attr->interval is close but it depends on attr->count
   which is non reset to 0, so interval does not work as expected.
3. Trying to model this with existing settings requires manipulations
   of all of probability, interval, times, space, task-filter and
   unexposed count and per-task make-it-fail files.
4. Existing settings are per-failure-type, and the set of failure
   types is potentially expanding.
5. make-it-fail can't be changed by unprivileged user and aggressive
   stress testing better be done from an unprivileged user.
   Similarly, this would require opening the debugfs files to the
   unprivileged user, as he would need to reopen at least times file
   (not possible to pre-open before dropping privs).

The proposed interface solves all of the above (see the example).

We want to integrate this into syzkaller fuzzer.  A prototype has found
10 bugs in kernel in first day of usage:

  https://groups.google.com/forum/#!searchin/syzkaller/%22FAULT_INJECTION%22%7Csort:relevance

I've made the current interface work with all types of our sandboxes.
For setuid the secret sauce was prctl(PR_SET_DUMPABLE, 1, 0, 0, 0) to
make /proc entries non-root owned.  So I am fine with the current
version of the code.

Vlastimil Babka 45816682b2 mm, mempolicy: stop adjusting current->il_next in mpol_rebind_nodemask()
The task->il_next variable stores the next allocation node id for task's
MPOL_INTERLEAVE policy.  mpol_rebind_nodemask() updates interleave and
bind mempolicies due to changing cpuset mems.  Currently it also tries
to make sure that current->il_next is valid within the updated nodemask.
This is bogus, because 1) we are updating potentially any task's
mempolicy, not just current, and 2) we might be updating a per-vma
mempolicy, not task one.

The interleave_nodes() function that uses il_next can cope fine with the
value not being within the currently allowed nodes, so this hasn't
manifested as an actual issue.

We can remove the need for updating il_next completely by changing it to
il_prev and store the node id of the previous interleave allocation
instead of the next id.  Then interleave_nodes() can calculate the next
id using the current nodemask and also store it as il_prev, except when
querying the next node via do_get_mempolicy().

Wanpeng Li 2a42eb9594 sched/cputime: Accumulate vtime on top of nsec clocksource
Currently the cputime source used by vtime is jiffies. When we cross
a context boundary and jiffies have changed since the last snapshot, the
pending cputime is accounted to the switching out context.

This system works ok if the ticks are not aligned across CPUs. If they
instead are aligned (ie: all fire at the same time) and the CPUs run in
userspace, the jiffies change is only observed on tick exit and therefore
the user cputime is accounted as system cputime. This is because the
CPU that maintains timekeeping fires its tick at the same time as the
others. It updates jiffies in the middle of the tick and the other CPUs
see that update on IRQ exit:

    CPU 0 (timekeeper)                  CPU 1
    -------------------              -------------
                      jiffies = N
    ...                              run in userspace for a jiffy
    tick entry                       tick entry (sees jiffies = N)
    set jiffies = N + 1
    tick exit                        tick exit (sees jiffies = N + 1)
                                                account 1 jiffy as stime

Fix this with using a nanosec clock source instead of jiffies. The
cputime is then accumulated and flushed everytime the pending delta
reaches a jiffy in order to mitigate the accounting overhead.

[ fweisbec: changelog, rebase on struct vtime, field renames, add delta
  on cputime readers, keep idle vtime as-is (low overhead accounting),
  harmonize clock sources. ]

Frederic Weisbecker 60a9ce57e7 sched/cputime: Rename vtime fields
The current "snapshot" based naming on vtime fields suggests we record
some past event but that's a low level picture of their actual purpose
which comes out blurry. The real point of these fields is to run a basic
state machine that tracks down cputime entry while switching between
contexts.

So lets reflect that with more meaningful names.

Pull SMP hotplug updates from Thomas Gleixner:
 "This update is primarily a cleanup of the CPU hotplug locking code.

  The hotplug locking mechanism is an open coded RWSEM, which allows

  as it evades the full lockdep coverage and hides potential deadlocks.

  The rework replaces the open coded RWSEM with a percpu RWSEM and
  establishes full lockdep coverage that way.

  The bulk of the changes fix up recursive locking issues and address
  the now fully reported potential deadlocks all over the place. Some of
  these deadlocks have been observed in the RT tree, but on mainline the

Kees Cook 29e48ce87f task_struct: Allow randomized layout
This marks most of the layout of task_struct as randomizable, but leaves
thread_info and scheduler state untouched at the start, and thread_struct
untouched at the end.

Other parts of the kernel use unnamed structures, but the 0-day builder
using gcc-4.4 blows up on static initializers. Officially, it's documented
as only working on gcc 4.6 and later, which further confuses me:
	https://gcc.gnu.org/wiki/C11Status
The structure layout randomization already requires gcc 4.7, but instead
of depending on the plugin being enabled, just check the gcc versions
for wider build testing. At Linus's suggestion, the marking is hidden
in a macro to reduce how ugly it looks. Additionally, indenting is left
unchanged since it would make things harder to read.

Randomization of task_struct is modified from Brad Spengler/PaX Team's
code in the last public patch of grsecurity/PaX based on my understanding
of the code. Changes or omissions from the original code are mine and
don't reflect the original grsecurity/PaX code.

Daniel Bristot de Oliveira 3effcb4247 sched/deadline: Use the revised wakeup rule for suspending constrained dl tasks
We have been facing some problems with self-suspending constrained
deadline tasks. The main reason is that the original CBS was not
designed for such sort of tasks.

One problem reported by Xunlei Pang takes place when a task
suspends, and then is awakened before the deadline, but so close
to the deadline that its remaining runtime can cause the task
to have an absolute density higher than allowed. In such situation,
the original CBS assumes that the task is facing an early activation,
and so it replenishes the task and set another deadline, one deadline
in the future. This rule works fine for implicit deadline tasks.
Moreover, it allows the system to adapt the period of a task in which
the external event source suffered from a clock drift.

However, this opens the window for bandwidth leakage for constrained
deadline tasks. For instance, a task with the following parameters:

  runtime   = 5 ms
  deadline  = 7 ms
  [density] = 5 / 7 = 0.71
  period    = 1000 ms

If the task runs for 1 ms, and then suspends for another 1ms,
it will be awakened with the following parameters:

  remaining runtime = 4
  laxity = 5

presenting a absolute density of 4 / 5 = 0.80.

In this case, the original CBS would assume the task had an early
wakeup. Then, CBS will reset the runtime, and the absolute deadline will
be postponed by one relative deadline, allowing the task to run.

The problem is that, if the task runs this pattern forever, it will keep
receiving bandwidth, being able to run 1ms every 2ms. Following this
behavior, the task would be able to run 500 ms in 1 sec. Thus running
more than the 5 ms / 1 sec the admission control allowed it to run.

Trying to address the self-suspending case, Luca Abeni, Giuseppe
Lipari, and Juri Lelli [1] revisited the CBS in order to deal with
self-suspending tasks. In the new approach, rather than
replenishing/postponing the absolute deadline, the revised wakeup rule
adjusts the remaining runtime, reducing it to fit into the allowed
density.

A revised version of the idea is:

At a given time t, the maximum absolute density of a task cannot be
higher than its relative density, that is:

  runtime / (deadline - t) <= dl_runtime / dl_deadline

Knowing the laxity of a task (deadline - t), it is possible to move
it to the other side of the equality, thus enabling to define max
remaining runtime a task can use within the absolute deadline, without
over-running the allowed density:

  runtime = (dl_runtime / dl_deadline) * (deadline - t)

For instance, in our previous example, the task could still run:

  runtime = ( 5 / 7 ) * 5
  runtime = 3.57 ms

Without causing damage for other deadline tasks. It is note worthy
that the laxity cannot be negative because that would cause a negative
runtime. Thus, this patch depends on the patch:

  df8eac8caf ("sched/deadline: Throttle a constrained deadline task activated after the deadline")

Which throttles a constrained deadline task activated after the
deadline.

Finally, it is also possible to use the revised wakeup rule for
all other tasks, but that would require some more discussions
about pros and cons.

Linus Torvalds c6a677c6f3 Staging/IIO patches for 4.12-rc1
Here is the big staging tree update for 4.12-rc1.  And it's a big one,
 adding about 350k new lines of crap^Wcode, mostly all in a big dump of
 media drivers from Intel.  But there's other new drivers in here as
 well, yet-another-wifi driver, new IIO drivers, and a new crypto
 accelerator.  We also deleted a bunch of stuff, mostly in patch
 cleanups, but also the Android ION code has shrunk a lot, and the
 Android low memory killer driver was finally deleted, much to the
 celebration of the -mm developers.
 
 All of these have been in linux-next with a few build issues that will
 show up when you merge to your tree, I'll follow up with fixes for those
 after this gets merged.

Michal Hocko 7dea19f9ee mm: introduce memalloc_nofs_{save,restore} API
GFP_NOFS context is used for the following 5 reasons currently:

 - to prevent from deadlocks when the lock held by the allocation
   context would be needed during the memory reclaim

 - to prevent from stack overflows during the reclaim because the
   allocation is performed from a deep context already

 - to prevent lockups when the allocation context depends on other
   reclaimers to make a forward progress indirectly

 - just in case because this would be safe from the fs POV

 - silence lockdep false positives

Unfortunately overuse of this allocation context brings some problems to
the MM.  Memory reclaim is much weaker (especially during heavy FS
metadata workloads), OOM killer cannot be invoked because the MM layer
doesn't have enough information about how much memory is freeable by the
FS layer.

In many cases it is far from clear why the weaker context is even used
and so it might be used unnecessarily.  We would like to get rid of
those as much as possible.  One way to do that is to use the flag in
scopes rather than isolated cases.  Such a scope is declared when really
necessary, tracked per task and all the allocation requests from within
the context will simply inherit the GFP_NOFS semantic.

Not only this is easier to understand and maintain because there are
much less problematic contexts than specific allocation requests, this
also helps code paths where FS layer interacts with other layers (e.g.
crypto, security modules, MM etc...) and there is no easy way to convey
the allocation context between the layers.

Introduce memalloc_nofs_{save,restore} API to control the scope of
GFP_NOFS allocation context.  This is basically copying
memalloc_noio_{save,restore} API we have for other restricted allocation
context GFP_NOIO.  The PF_MEMALLOC_NOFS flag already exists and it is
just an alias for PF_FSTRANS which has been xfs specific until recently.
There are no more PF_FSTRANS users anymore so let's just drop it.

PF_MEMALLOC_NOFS is now checked in the MM layer and drops __GFP_FS
implicitly same as PF_MEMALLOC_NOIO drops __GFP_IO.  memalloc_noio_flags
is renamed to current_gfp_context because it now cares about both
PF_MEMALLOC_NOFS and PF_MEMALLOC_NOIO contexts.  Xfs code paths preserve
their semantic.  kmem_flags_convert() doesn't need to evaluate the flag
anymore.

This patch shouldn't introduce any functional changes.

Let's hope that filesystems will drop direct GFP_NOFS (resp.  ~__GFP_FS)
usage as much as possible and only use a properly documented
memalloc_nofs_{save,restore} checkpoints where they are appropriate.

Michal Hocko 9070733b4e xfs: abstract PF_FSTRANS to PF_MEMALLOC_NOFS
xfs has defined PF_FSTRANS to declare a scope GFP_NOFS semantic quite
some time ago.  We would like to make this concept more generic and use
it for other filesystems as well.  Let's start by giving the flag a more
generic name PF_MEMALLOC_NOFS which is in line with an exiting
PF_MEMALLOC_NOIO already used for the same purpose for GFP_NOIO
contexts.  Replace all PF_FSTRANS usage from the xfs code in the first
step before we introduce a full API for it as xfs uses the flag directly
anyway.

This patch doesn't introduce any functional change.

Pull livepatch updates from Jiri Kosina:

 - a per-task consistency model is being added for architectures that
   support reliable stack dumping (extending this, currently rather
   trivial set, is currently in the works).

   This extends the nature of the types of patches that can be applied
   by live patching infrastructure. The code stems from the design
   proposal made [1] back in November 2014. It's a hybrid of SUSE's
   kGraft and RH's kpatch, combining advantages of both: it uses
   kGraft's per-task consistency and syscall barrier switching combined
   with kpatch's stack trace switching. There are also a number of
   fallback options which make it quite flexible.

NeilBrown 717a94b5fc sched/core: Remove 'task' parameter and rename tsk_restore_flags() to current_restore_flags()
It is not safe for one thread to modify the ->flags
of another thread as there is no locking that can protect
the update.

So tsk_restore_flags(), which takes a task pointer and modifies
the flags, is an invitation to do the wrong thing.

All current users pass "current" as the task, so no developers have
accepted that invitation.  It would be best to ensure it remains
that way.

So rename tsk_restore_flags() to current_restore_flags() and don't
pass in a task_struct pointer.  Always operate on current->flags.

This is because rt_mutex_enqueue_pi() and rt_mutex_dequeue_pi()
are only protected by pi_lock when operating pi waiters, while
rt_mutex_get_top_task(), will access them with rq lock held but
not holding pi_lock.

In order to tackle it, we introduce new "pi_top_task" pointer
cached in task_struct, and add new rt_mutex_update_top_task()
to update its value, it can be called by rt_mutex_setprio()
which held both owner's pi_lock and rq lock. Thus "pi_top_task"
can be safely accessed by enqueue_task_dl() under rq lock.

Tetsuo Handa e4e55b47ed LSM: Revive security_task_alloc() hook and per "struct task_struct" security blob.
We switched from "struct task_struct"->security to "struct cred"->security
in Linux 2.6.29. But not all LSM modules were happy with that change.
TOMOYO LSM module is an example which want to use per "struct task_struct"
security blob, for TOMOYO's security context is defined based on "struct
task_struct" rather than "struct cred". AppArmor LSM module is another
example which want to use it, for AppArmor is currently abusing the cred
a little bit to store the change_hat and setexeccon info. Although
security_task_free() hook was revived in Linux 3.4 because Yama LSM module
wanted to release per "struct task_struct" security blob,
security_task_alloc() hook and "struct task_struct"->security field were
not revived. Nowadays, we are getting proposals of lightweight LSM modules
which want to use per "struct task_struct" security blob.

We are already allowing multiple concurrent LSM modules (up to one fully
armored module which uses "struct cred"->security field or exclusive hooks
like security_xfrm_state_pol_flow_match(), plus unlimited number of
lightweight modules which do not use "struct cred"->security nor exclusive
hooks) as long as they are built into the kernel. But this patch does not
implement variable length "struct task_struct"->security field which will
become needed when multiple LSM modules want to use "struct task_struct"->
security field. Although it won't be difficult to implement variable length
"struct task_struct"->security field, let's think about it after we merged
this patch.

Tejun Heo 77f88796ce cgroup, kthread: close race window where new kthreads can be migrated to non-root cgroups
Creation of a kthread goes through a couple interlocked stages between
the kthread itself and its creator.  Once the new kthread starts
running, it initializes itself and wakes up the creator.  The creator
then can further configure the kthread and then let it start doing its
job by waking it up.

In this configuration-by-creator stage, the creator is the only one
that can wake it up but the kthread is visible to userland.  When
altering the kthread's attributes from userland is allowed, this is
fine; however, for cases where CPU affinity is critical,
kthread_bind() is used to first disable affinity changes from userland
and then set the affinity.  This also prevents the kthread from being
migrated into non-root cgroups as that can affect the CPU affinity and
many other things.

Unfortunately, the cgroup side of protection is racy.  While the
PF_NO_SETAFFINITY flag prevents further migrations, userland can win
the race before the creator sets the flag with kthread_bind() and put
the kthread in a non-root cgroup, which can lead to all sorts of
problems including incorrect CPU affinity and starvation.

This bug got triggered by userland which periodically tries to migrate
all processes in the root cpuset cgroup to a non-root one.  Per-cpu
workqueue workers got caught while being created and ended up with
incorrected CPU affinity breaking concurrency management and sometimes
stalling workqueue execution.

This patch adds task->no_cgroup_migration which disallows the task to
be migrated by userland.  kthreadd starts with the flag set making
every child kthread start in the root cgroup with migration
disallowed.  The flag is cleared after the kthread finishes
initialization by which time PF_NO_SETAFFINITY is set if the kthread
should stay in the root cgroup.

It'd be better to wait for the initialization instead of failing but I
couldn't think of a way of implementing that without adding either a
new PF flag, or sleeping and retrying from waiting side.  Even if
userland depends on changing cgroup membership of a kthread, it either
has to be synchronized with kthread_create() or periodically repeat,
so it's unlikely that this would break anything.

Michal Hocko 915e70f926 staging, android: remove lowmemory killer from the tree
Lowmemory killer is sitting in the staging tree since 2008 without any
serious interest for fixing issues brought up by the MM folks. The main
objection is that the implementation is basically broken by design:
	- it hooks into slab shrinker API which is not suitable for this
	  purpose. lowmem_count implementation just shows this nicely.
	  There is no scaling based on the memory pressure and no
	  feedback to the generic shrinker infrastructure.
	  Moreover lowmem_scan is called way too often for the heavy
	  work it performs.
	- it is not reclaim context aware - no NUMA and/or memcg
	  awareness.

As the code stands right now it just adds a maintenance overhead when
core MM changes have to update lowmemorykiller.c as well. It also seems
that the alternative LMK implementation will be solely in the userspace
so this code has no perspective it seems. The staging tree is supposed
to be for a code which needs to be put in shape before it can be merged
which is not the case here obviously.

Josh Poimboeuf d83a7cb375 livepatch: change to a per-task consistency model
Change livepatch to use a basic per-task consistency model.  This is the
foundation which will eventually enable us to patch those ~10% of
security patches which change function or data semantics.  This is the
biggest remaining piece needed to make livepatch more generally useful.

This code stems from the design proposal made by Vojtech [1] in November
2014.  It's a hybrid of kGraft and kpatch: it uses kGraft's per-task
consistency and syscall barrier switching combined with kpatch's stack
trace switching.  There are also a number of fallback options which make
it quite flexible.

Patches are applied on a per-task basis, when the task is deemed safe to
switch over.  When a patch is enabled, livepatch enters into a
transition state where tasks are converging to the patched state.
Usually this transition state can complete in a few seconds.  The same
sequence occurs when a patch is disabled, except the tasks converge from
the patched state to the unpatched state.

An interrupt handler inherits the patched state of the task it
interrupts.  The same is true for forked tasks: the child inherits the
patched state of the parent.

Livepatch uses several complementary approaches to determine when it's
safe to patch tasks:

1. The first and most effective approach is stack checking of sleeping
   tasks.  If no affected functions are on the stack of a given task,
   the task is patched.  In most cases this will patch most or all of
   the tasks on the first try.  Otherwise it'll keep trying
   periodically.  This option is only available if the architecture has
   reliable stacks (HAVE_RELIABLE_STACKTRACE).

2. The second approach, if needed, is kernel exit switching.  A
   task is switched when it returns to user space from a system call, a
   user space IRQ, or a signal.  It's useful in the following cases:

   a) Patching I/O-bound user tasks which are sleeping on an affected
      function.  In this case you have to send SIGSTOP and SIGCONT to
      force it to exit the kernel and be patched.
   b) Patching CPU-bound user tasks.  If the task is highly CPU-bound
      then it will get patched the next time it gets interrupted by an
      IRQ.
   c) In the future it could be useful for applying patches for
      architectures which don't yet have HAVE_RELIABLE_STACKTRACE.  In
      this case you would have to signal most of the tasks on the
      system.  However this isn't supported yet because there's
      currently no way to patch kthreads without
      HAVE_RELIABLE_STACKTRACE.

3. For idle "swapper" tasks, since they don't ever exit the kernel, they
   instead have a klp_update_patch_state() call in the idle loop which
   allows them to be patched before the CPU enters the idle state.

   (Note there's not yet such an approach for kthreads.)

All the above approaches may be skipped by setting the 'immediate' flag
in the 'klp_patch' struct, which will disable per-task consistency and
patch all tasks immediately.  This can be useful if the patch doesn't
change any function or data semantics.  Note that, even with this flag
set, it's possible that some tasks may still be running with an old
version of the function, until that function returns.

There's also an 'immediate' flag in the 'klp_func' struct which allows
you to specify that certain functions in the patch can be applied
without per-task consistency.  This might be useful if you want to patch
a common function like schedule(), and the function change doesn't need
consistency but the rest of the patch does.

For architectures which don't have HAVE_RELIABLE_STACKTRACE, the user
must set patch->immediate which causes all tasks to be patched
immediately.  This option should be used with care, only when the patch
doesn't change any function or data semantics.

In the future, architectures which don't have HAVE_RELIABLE_STACKTRACE
may be allowed to use per-task consistency if we can come up with
another way to patch kthreads.

The /sys/kernel/livepatch/<patch>/transition file shows whether a patch
is in transition.  Only a single patch (the topmost patch on the stack)
can be in transition at a given time.  A patch can remain in transition
indefinitely, if any of the tasks are stuck in the initial patch state.

A transition can be reversed and effectively canceled by writing the
opposite value to the /sys/kernel/livepatch/<patch>/enabled file while
the transition is in progress.  Then all the tasks will attempt to
converge back to the original patch state.

Ingo Molnar 5eca1c10cb sched/headers: Clean up <linux/sched.h>
Now that <linux/sched.h> dependencies have been sorted out,
do various trivial cleanups:

 - remove unnecessary structure predeclarations
 - fix various typos
 - update comments where necessary
 - remove pointless comments
 - use consistent types
 - tabulate consistently
 - use a consistent comment style
 - clean up the header section a bit
 - use a consistent style of a single field per line
 - remove line-breaks where they make the code look worse
 - etc ...

No change in functionality.
