Miklos Szeredi 863f144f12 vfs: open inside ->tmpfile()
This is in preparation for adding tmpfile support to fuse, which requires
that the tmpfile creation and opening are done as a single operation.

Replace the 'struct dentry *' argument of i_op->tmpfile with
'struct file *'.

Call finish_open_simple() as the last thing in ->tmpfile() instances (may
be omitted in the error case).

Change d_tmpfile() argument to 'struct file *' as well to make callers more
readable.

Sebastian Andrzej Siewior 45f78b0a27 fs/dcache: Move the wakeup from __d_lookup_done() to the caller.
__d_lookup_done() wakes waiters on dentry->d_wait.  On PREEMPT_RT we are
not allowed to do that with preemption disabled, since the wakeup
acquired wait_queue_head::lock, which is a "sleeping" spinlock on RT.

Calling it under dentry->d_lock is not a problem, since that is also a
"sleeping" spinlock on the same configs.  Unfortunately, two of its
callers (__d_add() and __d_move()) are holding more than just ->d_lock
and that needs to be dealt with.

The key observation is that wakeup can be moved to any point before
dropping ->d_lock.

As a first step to solve this, move the wake up outside of the
hlist_bl_lock() held section.

This is safe because:

Waiters get inserted into ->d_wait only after they'd taken ->d_lock
and observed DCACHE_PAR_LOOKUP in flags.  As long as they are
woken up (and evicted from the queue) between the moment __d_lookup_done()
has removed DCACHE_PAR_LOOKUP and dropping ->d_lock, we are safe,
since the waitqueue ->d_wait points to won't get destroyed without
having __d_lookup_done(dentry) called (under ->d_lock).

->d_wait is set only by d_alloc_parallel() and only in case when
it returns a freshly allocated in-lookup dentry.  Whenever that happens,
we are guaranteed that __d_lookup_done() will be called for resulting
dentry (under ->d_lock) before the wq in question gets destroyed.

With two exceptions wq lives in call frame of the caller of
d_alloc_parallel() and we have an explicit d_lookup_done() on the
resulting in-lookup dentry before we leave that frame.

One of those exceptions is nfs_call_unlink(), where wq is embedded into
(dynamically allocated) struct nfs_unlinkdata.  It is destroyed in
nfs_async_unlink_release() after an explicit d_lookup_done() on the
dentry wq went into.

Remaining exception is d_add_ci(). There wq is what we'd found in
->d_wait of d_add_ci() argument. Callers of d_add_ci() are two
instances of ->d_lookup() and they must have been given an in-lookup
dentry.  Which means that they'd been called by __lookup_slow() or
lookup_open(), with wq in the call frame of one of those.

Result of d_alloc_parallel() in d_add_ci() is fed to
d_splice_alias(), which either returns non-NULL (and d_add_ci() does
d_lookup_done()) or feeds dentry to __d_add() that will do
__d_lookup_done() under ->d_lock.  That concludes the analysis.

Let __d_lookup_unhash():

  1) Lock the lookup hash and clear DCACHE_PAR_LOOKUP
  2) Unhash the dentry
  3) Retrieve and clear dentry::d_wait
  4) Unlock the hash and return the retrieved waitqueue head pointer
  5) Let the caller handle the wake up.
  6) Rename __d_lookup_done() to __d_lookup_unhash_wake() to enforce
     build failures for OOT code that used __d_lookup_done() and is not
     aware of the new return value.

This does not yet solve the PREEMPT_RT problem completely because
preemption is still disabled due to i_dir_seq being held for write. This
will be addressed in subsequent steps.

An alternative solution would be to switch the waitqueue to a simple
waitqueue, but aside of Linus not being a fan of them, moving the wake up
closer to the place where dentry::lock is unlocked reduces lock contention
time for the woken up waiter.

Luis Chamberlain c8c0c239d5 fs: move dcache sysctls to its own file
kernel/sysctl.c is a kitchen sink where everyone leaves their dirty
dishes, this makes it very difficult to maintain.

To help with this maintenance let's start by moving sysctls to places
where they actually belong.  The proc sysctl maintainers do not want to
know what sysctl knobs you wish to add for your own piece of code, we
just care about the core logic.

So move the dcache sysctl clutter out of kernel/sysctl.c.  This is a
small one-off entry, perhaps later we can simplify this representation,
but for now we use the helpers we have.  We won't know how we can
simplify this further untl we're fully done with the cleanup.

Eric Biggers 501e43fbea fscrypt: rename DCACHE_ENCRYPTED_NAME to DCACHE_NOKEY_NAME
Originally we used the term "encrypted name" or "ciphertext name" to
mean the encoded filename that is shown when an encrypted directory is
listed without its key.  But these terms are ambiguous since they also
mean the filename stored on-disk.  "Encrypted name" is especially
ambiguous since it could also be understood to mean "this filename is
encrypted on-disk", similar to "encrypted file".

So we've started calling these encoded names "no-key names" instead.

Therefore, rename DCACHE_ENCRYPTED_NAME to DCACHE_NOKEY_NAME to avoid
confusion about what this flag means.

Ahmed S. Darwish 2647537197 vfs: Use sequence counter with associated spinlock
A sequence counter write side critical section must be protected by some
form of locking to serialize writers. A plain seqcount_t does not
contain the information of which lock must be held when entering a write
side critical section.

Use the new seqcount_spinlock_t data type, which allows to associate a
spinlock with the sequence counter. This enables lockdep to verify that
the spinlock used for writer serialization is held when the write side
critical section is entered.

If lockdep is disabled this lock association is compiled out and has
neither storage size nor runtime overhead.

DCACHE_DONTCACHE indicates a dentry should not be cached on final

Also add a helper function to mark DCACHE_DONTCACHE on all dentries
pointing to a specific inode when that inode is being set I_DONTCACHE.

This facilitates dropping dentry references to inodes sooner which
require eviction to swap S_DAX mode.

Al Viro d41efb522e fs/namei.c: pull positivity check into follow_managed()
There are 4 callers; two proceed to check if result is positive and
fail with ENOENT if it isn't; one (in handle_lookup_down()) is
guaranteed to yield positive and one (in lookup_fast()) is _preceded_
by positivity check.

However, follow_managed() on a negative dentry is a (fairly cheap)
no-op on anything other than autofs.  And negative autofs dentries
are never hashed, so lookup_fast() is not going to run into one
of those.  Moreover, successful follow_managed() on a _positive_
dentry never yields a negative one (and we significantly rely upon
that in callers of lookup_fast()).

In other words, we can easily transpose the positivity check and
the call of follow_managed() in lookup_fast().  And that allows
to fold the positivity check *into* follow_managed(), simplifying
life for the code downstream of its calls.

Eric Biggers 6cc248684d fscrypt: clean up and improve dentry revalidation
Make various improvements to fscrypt dentry revalidation:

- Don't try to handle the case where the per-directory key is removed,
  as this can't happen without the inode (and dentries) being evicted.

- Flag ciphertext dentries rather than plaintext dentries, since it's
  ciphertext dentries that need the special handling.

- Avoid doing unnecessary work for non-ciphertext dentries.

- When revalidating ciphertext dentries, try to set up the directory's
  i_crypt_info to make sure the key is really still absent, rather than
  invalidating all negative dentries as the previous code did.  An old
  comment suggested we can't do this for locking reasons, but AFAICT
  this comment was outdated and it actually works fine.

Al Viro 5467a68cbf dcache: sort the freeing-without-RCU-delay mess for good.
For lockless accesses to dentries we don't have pinned we rely
(among other things) upon having an RCU delay between dropping
the last reference and actually freeing the memory.

On the other hand, for things like pipes and sockets we neither
do that kind of lockless access, nor want to deal with the
overhead of an RCU delay every time a socket gets closed.

So delay was made optional - setting DCACHE_RCUACCESS in ->d_flags
made sure it would happen.  We tried to avoid setting it unless
we knew we need it.  Unfortunately, that had led to recurring
class of bugs, in which we missed the need to set it.

We only really need it for dentries that are created by
d_alloc_pseudo(), so let's not bother with trying to be smart -
just make having an RCU delay the default.  The ones that do
*not* get it set the replacement flag (DCACHE_NORCU) and we'd
better use that sparingly.  d_alloc_pseudo() is the only
such user right now.

FWIW, the race that finally prompted that switch had been
between __lock_parent() of immediate subdirectory of what's
currently the root of a disconnected tree (e.g. from
open-by-handle in progress) racing with d_splice_alias()
elsewhere picking another alias for the same inode, either
on outright corrupted fs image, or (in case of open-by-handle
on NFS) that subdirectory having been just moved on server.
It's not easy to hit, so the sky is not falling, but that's
not the first race on similar missed cases and the logics
for settinf DCACHE_RCUACCESS has gotten ridiculously
convoluted.

Waiman Long af0c9af1b3 fs/dcache: Track & report number of negative dentries
The current dentry number tracking code doesn't distinguish between
positive & negative dentries.  It just reports the total number of
dentries in the LRU lists.

As excessive number of negative dentries can have an impact on system
performance, it will be wise to track the number of positive and
negative dentries separately.

This patch adds tracking for the total number of negative dentries in
the system LRU lists and reports it in the 5th field in the
/proc/sys/fs/dentry-state file.  The number, however, does not include
negative dentries that are in flight but not in the LRU yet as well as
those in the shrinker lists which are on the way out anyway.

The number of positive dentries in the LRU lists can be roughly found by
subtracting the number of negative dentries from the unused count.

Matthew Wilcox had confirmed that since the introduction of the
dentry_stat structure in 2.1.60, the dummy array was there, probably for
future extension.  They were not replacements of pre-existing fields.
So no sane applications that read the value of /proc/sys/fs/dentry-state
will do dummy thing if the last 2 fields of the sysctl parameter are not
zero.  IOW, it will be safe to use one of the dummy array entry for
negative dentry count.

     VFS, proper interaction of read-only open files with copy-up,
     possibility to implement fs modifying ioctls properly, and others.
 
  2) Metadata only copy-up: when file is on lower layer and only metadata is

The only user is fuse_create_new_entry(), and there it's used to
mitigate the same mkdir/open-by-handle race as in nfs_mkdir().
The same solution applies - unhash the mkdir argument, then
call d_splice_alias() and if that returns a reference to preexisting
alias, dput() and report success.  ->mkdir() argument left unhashed
negative with the preexisting alias moved in the right place is just
fine from the ->mkdir() callers point of view.

Al Viro 1e2e547a93 do d_instantiate/unlock_new_inode combinations safely
For anything NFS-exported we do _not_ want to unlock new inode
before it has grown an alias; original set of fixes got the
ordering right, but missed the nasty complication in case of
lockdep being enabled - unlock_new_inode() does
	lockdep_annotate_inode_mutex_key(inode)
which can only be done before anyone gets a chance to touch
->i_mutex.  Unfortunately, flipping the order and doing
unlock_new_inode() before d_instantiate() opens a window when
mkdir can race with open-by-fhandle on a guessed fhandle, leading
to multiple aliases for a directory inode and all the breakage
that follows from that.

	Correct solution: a new primitive (d_instantiate_new())
combining these two in the right order - lockdep annotate, then
d_instantiate(), then the rest of unlock_new_inode().  All
combinations of d_instantiate() with unlock_new_inode() should
be converted to that.

Greg Kroah-Hartman b24413180f License cleanup: add SPDX GPL-2.0 license identifier to files with no license
Many source files in the tree are missing licensing information, which
makes it harder for compliance tools to determine the correct license.

By default all files without license information are under the default
license of the kernel, which is GPL version 2.

Update the files which contain no license information with the 'GPL-2.0'
SPDX license identifier.  The SPDX identifier is a legally binding
shorthand, which can be used instead of the full boiler plate text.

This patch is based on work done by Thomas Gleixner and Kate Stewart and
Philippe Ombredanne.

How this work was done:

Patches were generated and checked against linux-4.14-rc6 for a subset of
the use cases:
 - file had no licensing information it it.
 - file was a */uapi/* one with no licensing information in it,
 - file was a */uapi/* one with existing licensing information,

Further patches will be generated in subsequent months to fix up cases
where non-standard license headers were used, and references to license
had to be inferred by heuristics based on keywords.

The analysis to determine which SPDX License Identifier to be applied to
a file was done in a spreadsheet of side by side results from of the
output of two independent scanners (ScanCode & Windriver) producing SPDX
tag:value files created by Philippe Ombredanne.  Philippe prepared the
base worksheet, and did an initial spot review of a few 1000 files.

The 4.13 kernel was the starting point of the analysis with 60,537 files
assessed.  Kate Stewart did a file by file comparison of the scanner
results in the spreadsheet to determine which SPDX license identifier(s)
to be applied to the file. She confirmed any determination that was not
immediately clear with lawyers working with the Linux Foundation.

Criteria used to select files for SPDX license identifier tagging was:
 - Files considered eligible had to be source code files.
 - Make and config files were included as candidates if they contained >5
   lines of source
 - File already had some variant of a license header in it (even if <5
   lines).

All documentation files were explicitly excluded.

The following heuristics were used to determine which SPDX license
identifiers to apply.

 - when both scanners couldn't find any license traces, file was
   considered to have no license information in it, and the top level
   COPYING file license applied.

   For non */uapi/* files that summary was:

   SPDX license identifier                            # files
   ---------------------------------------------------|-------
   GPL-2.0                                              11139

   and resulted in the first patch in this series.

   If that file was a */uapi/* path one, it was "GPL-2.0 WITH
   Linux-syscall-note" otherwise it was "GPL-2.0".  Results of that was:

   SPDX license identifier                            # files
   ---------------------------------------------------|-------
   GPL-2.0 WITH Linux-syscall-note                        930

   and resulted in the second patch in this series.

 - if a file had some form of licensing information in it, and was one
   of the */uapi/* ones, it was denoted with the Linux-syscall-note if
   any GPL family license was found in the file or had no licensing in
   it (per prior point).  Results summary:

   SPDX license identifier                            # files
   ---------------------------------------------------|------
   GPL-2.0 WITH Linux-syscall-note                       270
   GPL-2.0+ WITH Linux-syscall-note                      169
   ((GPL-2.0 WITH Linux-syscall-note) OR BSD-2-Clause)    21
   ((GPL-2.0 WITH Linux-syscall-note) OR BSD-3-Clause)    17
   LGPL-2.1+ WITH Linux-syscall-note                      15
   GPL-1.0+ WITH Linux-syscall-note                       14
   ((GPL-2.0+ WITH Linux-syscall-note) OR BSD-3-Clause)    5
   LGPL-2.0+ WITH Linux-syscall-note                       4
   LGPL-2.1 WITH Linux-syscall-note                        3
   ((GPL-2.0 WITH Linux-syscall-note) OR MIT)              3
   ((GPL-2.0 WITH Linux-syscall-note) AND MIT)             1

   and that resulted in the third patch in this series.

 - when the two scanners agreed on the detected license(s), that became
   the concluded license(s).

 - when there was disagreement between the two scanners (one detected a
   license but the other didn't, or they both detected different
   licenses) a manual inspection of the file occurred.

 - In most cases a manual inspection of the information in the file
   resulted in a clear resolution of the license that should apply (and
   which scanner probably needed to revisit its heuristics).

 - When it was not immediately clear, the license identifier was
   confirmed with lawyers working with the Linux Foundation.

 - If there was any question as to the appropriate license identifier,
   the file was flagged for further research and to be revisited later
   in time.

In total, over 70 hours of logged manual review was done on the
spreadsheet to determine the SPDX license identifiers to apply to the
source files by Kate, Philippe, Thomas and, in some cases, confirmation
by lawyers working with the Linux Foundation.

Kate also obtained a third independent scan of the 4.13 code base from
FOSSology, and compared selected files where the other two scanners
disagreed against that SPDX file, to see if there was new insights.  The
Windriver scanner is based on an older version of FOSSology in part, so
they are related.

Thomas did random spot checks in about 500 files from the spreadsheets
for the uapi headers and agreed with SPDX license identifier in the
files he inspected. For the non-uapi files Thomas did random spot checks
in about 15000 files.

In initial set of patches against 4.14-rc6, 3 files were found to have
copy/paste license identifier errors, and have been fixed to reflect the
correct identifier.

Additionally Philippe spent 10 hours this week doing a detailed manual
inspection and review of the 12,461 patched files from the initial patch
version early this week with:
 - a full scancode scan run, collecting the matched texts, detected
   license ids and scores
 - reviewing anything where there was a license detected (about 500+
   files) to ensure that the applied SPDX license was correct
 - reviewing anything where there was no detection but the patch license
   was not GPL-2.0 WITH Linux-syscall-note to ensure that the applied
   SPDX license was correct

This produced a worksheet with 20 files needing minor correction.  This
worksheet was then exported into 3 different .csv files for the
different types of files to be modified.

These .csv files were then reviewed by Greg.  Thomas wrote a script to
parse the csv files and add the proper SPDX tag to the file, in the
format that the file expected.  This script was further refined by Greg
based on the output to detect more types of files automatically and to
distinguish between header and source .c files (which need different
comment types.)  Finally Greg ran the script using the .csv files to
generate the patches.

Mark Rutland 66702eb590 locking/atomics, fs/dcache: Convert ACCESS_ONCE() to READ_ONCE()/WRITE_ONCE()
For several reasons, it is desirable to use {READ,WRITE}_ONCE() in
preference to ACCESS_ONCE(), and new code is expected to use one of the
former. So far, there's been no reason to change most existing uses of
ACCESS_ONCE(), as these aren't currently harmful.

However, for some features it is necessary to instrument reads and
writes separately, which is not possible with ACCESS_ONCE(). This
distinction is critical to correct operation.

It's possible to transform the bulk of kernel code using the Coccinelle
script below. However, this doesn't handle comments, leaving references
to ACCESS_ONCE() instances which have been removed. As a preparatory
step, this patch converts the dcache code and comments to use
{READ,WRITE}_ONCE() consistently.

fs/dcache.c:305:7: note: in expansion of macro 'container_of'
   p = container_of(name->name, struct external_name, name[0]);

Switch name_snapshot to use unsigned chars, matching struct qstr and
struct external_name.

Al Viro 49d31c2f38 dentry name snapshots
take_dentry_name_snapshot() takes a safe snapshot of dentry name;
if the name is a short one, it gets copied into caller-supplied
structure, otherwise an extra reference to external name is grabbed
(those are never modified).  In either case the pointer to stable
string is stored into the same structure.

dentry must be held by the caller of take_dentry_name_snapshot(),
but may be freely dropped afterwards - the snapshot will stay
until destroyed by release_dentry_name_snapshot().

Intended use:
	struct name_snapshot s;

	take_dentry_name_snapshot(&s, dentry);
	...
	access s.name
	...
	release_dentry_name_snapshot(&s);

Replaces fsnotify_oldname_...(), gets used in fsnotify to obtain the name
to pass down with event.

Kees Cook 3859a271a0 randstruct: Mark various structs for randomization
This marks many critical kernel structures for randomization. These are
structures that have been targeted in the past in security exploits, or
contain functions pointers, pointers to function pointer tables, lists,
workqueues, ref-counters, credentials, permissions, or are otherwise
sensitive. This initial list was extracted 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.

Left out of this list is task_struct, which requires special handling
and will be covered in a subsequent patch.

Ingo Molnar f9411ebe3d rcu: Separate the RCU synchronization types and APIs into <linux/rcupdate_wait.h>
So rcupdate.h is a pretty complex header, in particular it includes
<linux/completion.h> which includes <linux/wait.h> - creating a
dependency that includes <linux/wait.h> in <linux/sched.h>,
which prevents the isolation of <linux/sched.h> from the derived
<linux/wait.h> header.

Solve part of the problem by decoupling rcupdate.h from completions:
this can be done by separating out the rcu_synchronize types and APIs,
and updating their usage sites.

Since this is a mostly RCU-internal types this will not just simplify
<linux/sched.h>'s dependencies, but will make all the hundreds of
.c files that include rcupdate.h but not completions or wait.h build
faster.

( For rcutiny this means that two dependent APIs have to be uninlined,
  but that shouldn't be much of a problem as they are rare variants. )
