Add a new attribute NLMSGERR_ATTR_POLICY to the extended ACK
to advertise the policy, e.g. if an attribute was out of range,
you'll know the range that's permissible.
Add new NL_SET_ERR_MSG_ATTR_POL() and NL_SET_ERR_MSG_ATTR_POL()
macros to set this, since realistically it's only useful to do
this when the bad attribute (offset) is also returned.
Use it in lib/nlattr.c which practically does all the policy
validation.
v2:
- add and use netlink_policy_dump_attr_size_estimate()
v3:
- remove redundant break
v4:
- really remove redundant break ... sorry

We don't have good validation policy for existing unsigned int attrs
which serve as flags (for new ones we could use NLA_BITFIELD32).
With increased use of policy dumping having the validation be
expressed as part of the policy is important. Add validation
policy in form of a mask of supported/valid bits.
Support u64 in the uAPI to be future-proof, but really for now
the embedded mask member can only hold 32 bits, so anything with
bit 32+ set will always fail validation.

Commit f227e3ec3b ("random32: update the net random state on interrupt

83bdc7275e ("random32: remove net_rand_state from the latent entropy
gcc plugin") by entirely moving net_rand_state out of the things handled
by the latent_entropy GCC plugin.
From what I understand when reading the plugin code, using the
__latent_entropy attribute on a declaration was the wrong part and
simply keeping the __latent_entropy attribute on the variable definition
was the correct fix.

LLVM implemented a recent "libcall optimization" that lowers calls to
`sprintf(dest, "%s", str)` where the return value is used to
`stpcpy(dest, str) - dest`.
This generally avoids the machinery involved in parsing format strings.
`stpcpy` is just like `strcpy` except it returns the pointer to the new
tail of `dest`. This optimization was introduced into clang-12.
Implement this so that we don't observe linkage failures due to missing
symbol definitions for `stpcpy`.
Similar to last year's fire drill with: commit 5f074f3e19
("lib/string.c: implement a basic bcmp")
The kernel is somewhere between a "freestanding" environment (no full
libc) and "hosted" environment (many symbols from libc exist with the
same type, function signature, and semantics).
As Peter Anvin notes, there's not really a great way to inform the
compiler that you're targeting a freestanding environment but would like
to opt-in to some libcall optimizations (see pr/47280 below), rather
than opt-out.
Arvind notes, -fno-builtin-* behaves slightly differently between GCC
and Clang, and Clang is missing many __builtin_* definitions, which I
consider a bug in Clang and am working on fixing.
Masahiro summarizes the subtle distinction between compilers justly:
To prevent transformation from foo() into bar(), there are two ways in
Clang to do that; -fno-builtin-foo, and -fno-builtin-bar. There is
only one in GCC; -fno-buitin-foo.
(Any difference in that behavior in Clang is likely a bug from a missing
__builtin_* definition.)
Masahiro also notes:
We want to disable optimization from foo() to bar(),
but we may still benefit from the optimization from
foo() into something else. If GCC implements the same transform, we
would run into a problem because it is not -fno-builtin-bar, but
-fno-builtin-foo that disables that optimization.
In this regard, -fno-builtin-foo would be more future-proof than
-fno-built-bar, but -fno-builtin-foo is still potentially overkill. We
may want to prevent calls from foo() being optimized into calls to
bar(), but we still may want other optimization on calls to foo().
It seems that compilers today don't quite provide the fine grain control
over which libcall optimizations pseudo-freestanding environments would
prefer.
Finally, Kees notes that this interface is unsafe, so we should not
encourage its use. As such, I've removed the declaration from any
header, but it still needs to be exported to avoid linkage errors in
modules.

syzbot has reported an issue in the framebuffer layer, where a malicious
user may overflow our built-in font data buffers.
In order to perform a reliable range check, subsystems need to know
`FONTDATAMAX` for each built-in font. Unfortunately, our font descriptor,
`struct console_font` does not contain `FONTDATAMAX`, and is part of the
UAPI, making it infeasible to modify it.
For user-provided fonts, the framebuffer layer resolves this issue by
reserving four extra words at the beginning of data buffers. Later,
whenever a function needs to access them, it simply uses the following
macros:
Recently we have gathered all the above macros to <linux/font.h>. Let us
do the same thing for built-in fonts, prepend four extra words (including
`FONTDATAMAX`) to their data buffers, so that subsystems can use these
macros for all fonts, no matter built-in or user-provided.
This patch depends on patch "fbdev, newport_con: Move FONT_EXTRA_WORDS
macros into linux/font.h".

Fix to remove tailing spaces after value. If there is a space
after value, the bootconfig failed to remove it because it
applies strim() before replacing the delimiter with null.
For example,
foo = var # comment
was parsed as below.
foo="var "
but user will expect
foo="var"
This fixes it by applying strim() after removing the delimiter.

Fix a bug of breaking existing tree nodes by parsing the second
and subsequent braces. Since the bootconfig parser uses the
node.next field as a flag of current parent node, but this will
break the existing tree if the same key node is specified again
in the bootconfig.
For example, the following bootconfig should be foo.buz and bar.
foo
bar
foo { buz }
However, when parsing the brace "{", it breaks foo->bar link
by marking open-brace node. So the bootconfig unlinks bar
from the bootconfig internal tree.
This introduces a stack outside of the tree and record the
last open-brace on the stack instead of using node.next field.

This has been the case for a while, but gcc-10.x enables this option at

Add -ffreestanding, which implicitly disables this optimization with

Add range validation for NLA_BINARY, allowing validation of any

Also make NLA_POLICY_EXACT_LEN(), NLA_POLICY_EXACT_LEN_WARN()

types NLA_EXACT_LEN and NLA_MIN_LEN.
This allows us to save some code where both minimum and maximum
lengths are requires, currently the policy only allows maximum
(NLA_BINARY), minimum (NLA_MIN_LEN) or exact (NLA_EXACT_LEN), so
a range of lengths cannot be accepted and must be checked by the
code that consumes the attributes later.
Also, this allows advertising the correct ranges in the policy
export to userspace. Here, NLA_MIN_LEN and NLA_EXACT_LEN already

Patch series "iomap: Constify ioreadX() iomem argument", v3.
The ioread8/16/32() and others have inconsistent interface among the
architectures: some taking address as const, some not.
It seems there is nothing really stopping all of them to take pointer to
const.
This patch (of 4):
The ioreadX() and ioreadX_rep() helpers have inconsistent interface. On
some architectures void *__iomem address argument is a pointer to const,
on some not.
Implementations of ioreadX() do not modify the memory under the address so
they can be converted to a "const" version for const-safety and
consistency among architectures.

This patch replaces all memcpy() calls with LZ4_memcpy() which calls
__builtin_memcpy() so the compiler can inline it.
LZ4 relies heavily on memcpy() with a constant size being inlined. In x86
and i386 pre-boot environments memcpy() cannot be inlined because memcpy()
doesn't get defined as __builtin_memcpy().
An equivalent patch has been applied upstream so that the next import
won't lose this change [1].
I've measured the kernel decompression speed using QEMU before and after
this patch for the x86_64 and i386 architectures. The speed-up is about
10x as shown below.
Code Arch Kernel Size Time Speed
v5.8 x86_64 11504832 B 148 ms 79 MB/s
patch x86_64 11503872 B 13 ms 885 MB/s
v5.8 i386 9621216 B 91 ms 106 MB/s
patch i386 9620224 B 10 ms 962 MB/s
I also measured the time to decompress the initramfs on x86_64, i386, and
arm. All three show the same decompression speed before and after, as
expected.

- Preparatory work to allow S390 to switch over to the generic VDSO
implementation.
S390 requires that the VDSO data pointer is handed in to the counter
read function when time namespace support is enabled. Adding the pointer
is a NOOP for all other architectures because the compiler is supposed
to optimize that out when it is unused in the architecture specific
inline. The change also solved a similar problem for MIPS which
fortunately has time namespaces not yet enabled.
S390 needs to update clock related VDSO data independent of the
timekeeping updates. This was solved so far with yet another sequence
counter in the S390 implementation. A better solution is to utilize the
already existing VDSO sequence count for this. The core code now exposes
helper functions which allow to serialize against the timekeeper code
and against concurrent readers.
S390 needs extra data for their clock readout function. The initial
common VDSO data structure did not provide a way to add that. It now has
an embedded architecture specific struct embedded which defaults to an
empty struct.
Doing this now avoids tree dependencies and conflicts post rc1 and
allows all other architectures which work on generic VDSO support to
work from a common upstream base.
- A trivial comment fix.

The documentation of the kstrto*() functions describes kstrto*() as
"replacements" of the "obsolete" simple_strto*() functions. Both of these
terms are inaccurate: they're not replacements because they have different
behaviour, and the simple_strto*() are not obsolete because there are
cases where they have benefits over kstrto*().
Remove usage of the terms "replacement" and "obsolete" in reference to
simple_strto*(), and instead use the term "preferred over".

The documentation of the kstrto*() functions reference the simple_strtoull
function by "used as a replacement for [the obsolete] simple_strtoull".
All these functions describes themselves as replacements for the function
simple_strtoull, even though a function like kstrtol() would be more aptly
described as a replacement of simple_strtol().
Fix these references by making the documentation of kstrto*() reference
the closest simple_strto*() equivalent available. The functions
kstrto[u]int() do not have direct simple_strto[u]int() equivalences, so
these are made to refer to simple_strto[u]l() instead.
Furthermore, add parentheses after function names, as is standard in
kernel documentation.

Currently, the bitops test consists of two parts: one part is executed
during module load, the second part during module unload. This is
cumbersome for the user, as he has to perform two steps to execute all
tests, and is different from most (all?) other tests.
Merge the two parts, so both are executed during module load.

Patch series "lib: Fix bitmap_cut() for overlaps, add test"
This patch (of 2):
Yury Norov reports that bitmap_cut() will not produce the right outcome if
src and dst partially overlap, with src pointing at some location after
dst, because the memmove() affects src before we store the bits that we
need to keep, that is, the bits preceding the cut -- as long as we the
beginning of the cut is not aligned to a long.
Fix this by storing those bits before the memmove().
Note that this is just a theoretical concern so far, as the only user of
this function, pipapo_drop() from the nftables set back-end implemented in
net/netfilter/nft_set_pipapo.c, always supplies entirely overlapping src
and dst.

Recently 0day reported many strange performance changes (regression or
improvement), in which there was no obvious relation between the culprit
commit and the benchmark at the first look, and it causes people to doubt
the test itself is wrong.
Upon further check, many of these cases are caused by the change to the
alignment of kernel text or data, as whole text/data of kernel are linked
together, change in one domain may affect alignments of other domains.
gcc has an option '-falign-functions=n' to force text aligned, and with
that option enabled, some of those performance changes will be gone, like
[1][2][3].
Add this option so that developers and 0day can easily find performance
bump caused by text alignment change, as tracking these strange bump is
quite time consuming. Though it can't help in other cases like data
alignment changes like [4].
Following is some size data for v5.7 kernel built with a RHEL config used
in 0day:
