Pull printk updates from Petr Mladek:
- Add a console_msg_format command line option:
The value "default" keeps the old "[time stamp] text\n" format. The
value "syslog" allows to see the syslog-like "<log
level>[timestamp] text" format.
This feature was requested by people doing regression tests, for
example, 0day robot. They want to have both filtered and full logs
at hands.
- Reduce the risk of softlockup:
Pass the console owner in a busy loop.
This is a new approach to the old problem. It was first proposed by
Steven Rostedt on Kernel Summit 2017. It marks a context in which
the console_lock owner calls console drivers and could not sleep.
On the other side, printk() callers could detect this state and use
a busy wait instead of a simple console_trylock(). Finally, the
console_lock owner checks if there is a busy waiter at the end of
the special context and eventually passes the console_lock to the
waiter.
The hand-off works surprisingly well and helps in many situations.
Well, there is still a possibility of the softlockup, for example,
when the flood of messages stops and the last owner still has too
much to flush.
There is increasing number of people having problems with
printk-related softlockups. We might eventually need to get better
solution. Anyway, this looks like a good start and promising
direction.
- Do not allow to schedule in console_unlock() called from printk():
This reverts an older controversial commit. The reschedule helped
to avoid softlockups. But it also slowed down the console output.
This patch is obsoleted by the new console waiter logic described
above. In fact, the reschedule made the hand-off less effective.
- Deprecate "%pf" and "%pF" format specifier:
It was needed on ia64, ppc64 and parisc64 to dereference function
descriptors and show the real function address. It is done
transparently by "%ps" and "pS" format specifier now.
Sergey Senozhatsky found that all the function descriptors were in
a special elf section and could be easily detected.
- Remove printk_symbol() API:
It has been obsoleted by "%pS" format specifier, and this change
helped to remove few continuous lines and a less intuitive old API.
- Remove redundant memsets:
Sergey removed unnecessary memset when processing printk.devkmsg
command line option.

It's not good to crash the machine if panic_on_warn() is set just
because someone made a stupid mistake of trying to create a sysfs file
with the same name of an existing one. This makes the automated testing
tools a lot harder to find the real bugs in the kernel.
So just print a warning out and dump the stack to get the attention of
the developer that they did something foolish. Then keep on trucking,
as this should not be a fatal error at all.

ops->show() can return a negative error code.
Commit 65da3484d9 ("sysfs: correctly handle short reads on PREALLOC attrs.")
(in v4.4) caused this to be stored in an unsigned 'size_t' variable, so errors
would look like large numbers.
As a result, if an error is returned, sysfs_kf_read() will return the
value of 'count', typically 4096.
Commit 17d0774f80 ("sysfs: correctly handle read offset on PREALLOC attrs")
(in v4.8) extended this error to use the unsigned large 'len' as a size for
memmove().
Consequently, if ->show returns an error, then the first read() on the
sysfs file will return 4096 and could return uninitialized memory to
user-space.
If the application performs a subsequent read, this will trigger a memmove()
with extremely large count, and is likely to crash the machine is bizarre ways.
This bug can currently only be triggered by reading from an md
sysfs attribute declared with __ATTR_PREALLOC() during the
brief period between when mddev_put() deletes an mddev from
the ->all_mddevs list, and when mddev_delayed_delete() - which is
scheduled on a workqueue - completes.
Before this, an error won't be returned by the ->show()
After this, the ->show() won't be called.
I can reproduce it reliably only by putting delay like
usleep_range(500000,700000);
early in mddev_delayed_delete(). Then after creating an
md device md0 run
echo clear > /sys/block/md0/md/array_state; cat /sys/block/md0/md/array_state
The bug can be triggered without the usleep.

kernfs_path*() functions always return the length of the full path but
the path content is undefined if the length is larger than the
provided buffer. This makes its behavior different from strlcpy() and
requires error handling in all its users even when they don't care
about truncation. In addition, the implementation can actully be
simplified by making it behave properly in strlcpy() style.
* Update kernfs_path_from_node_locked() to always fill up the buffer
with path. If the buffer is not large enough, the output is
truncated and terminated.
* kernfs_path() no longer needs error handling. Make it a simple
inline wrapper around kernfs_path_from_node().
* sysfs_warn_dup()'s use of kernfs_path() doesn't need error handling.
Updated accordingly.

Replace the call of fs_fully_visible in do_new_mount from before the
new superblock is allocated with a call of mount_too_revealing after
the superblock is allocated. This winds up being a much better location
for maintainability of the code.
The first change this enables is the replacement of FS_USERNS_VISIBLE
with SB_I_USERNS_VISIBLE. Moving the flag from struct filesystem_type
to sb_iflags on the superblock.
Unfortunately mount_too_revealing fundamentally needs to touch
mnt_flags adding several MNT_LOCKED_XXX flags at the appropriate
times. If the mnt_flags did not need to be touched the code
could be easily moved into the filesystem specific mount code.

Note that to keep functionality and code similar to that of normal

Today proc and sysfs do not contain any executable files. Several
applications today mount proc or sysfs without noexec and nosuid and
then depend on there being no exectuables files on proc or sysfs.
Having any executable files show on proc or sysfs would cause
a user space visible regression, and most likely security problems.
Therefore commit to never allowing executables on proc and sysfs by
adding a new flag to mark them as filesystems without executables and
enforce that flag.
Test the flag where MNT_NOEXEC is tested today, so that the only user
visible effect will be that exectuables will be treated as if the
execute bit is cleared.
The filesystems proc and sysfs do not currently incoporate any
executable files so this does not result in any user visible effects.
This makes it unnecessary to vet changes to proc and sysfs tightly for
adding exectuable files or changes to chattr that would modify
existing files, as no matter what the individual file say they will
not be treated as exectuable files by the vfs.
Not having to vet changes to closely is important as without this we
are only one proc_create call (or another goof up in the
implementation of notify_change) from having problematic executables
on proc. Those mistakes are all too easy to make and would create
a situation where there are security issues or the assumptions of
some program having to be broken (and cause userspace regressions).

Pull user namespace updates from Eric Biederman:
"Long ago and far away when user namespaces where young it was realized
that allowing fresh mounts of proc and sysfs with only user namespace
permissions could violate the basic rule that only root gets to decide
if proc or sysfs should be mounted at all.
Some hacks were put in place to reduce the worst of the damage could
be done, and the common sense rule was adopted that fresh mounts of
proc and sysfs should allow no more than bind mounts of proc and
sysfs. Unfortunately that rule has not been fully enforced.
There are two kinds of gaps in that enforcement. Only filesystems
mounted on empty directories of proc and sysfs should be ignored but
the test for empty directories was insufficient. So in my tree
directories on proc, sysctl and sysfs that will always be empty are
created specially. Every other technique is imperfect as an ordinary
directory can have entries added even after a readdir returns and
shows that the directory is empty. Special creation of directories
for mount points makes the code in the kernel a smidge clearer about
it's purpose. I asked container developers from the various container
projects to help test this and no holes were found in the set of mount
points on proc and sysfs that are created specially.
This set of changes also starts enforcing the mount flags of fresh
mounts of proc and sysfs are consistent with the existing mount of
proc and sysfs. I expected this to be the boring part of the work but
unfortunately unprivileged userspace winds up mounting fresh copies of
proc and sysfs with noexec and nosuid clear when root set those flags
on the previous mount of proc and sysfs. So for now only the atime,
read-only and nodev attributes which userspace happens to keep
consistent are enforced. Dealing with the noexec and nosuid
attributes remains for another time.
This set of changes also addresses an issue with how open file
descriptors from /proc/<pid>/ns/* are displayed. Recently readlink of
/proc/<pid>/fd has been triggering a WARN_ON that has not been
meaningful since it was added (as all of the code in the kernel was
converted) and is not now actively wrong.
There is also a short list of issues that have not been fixed yet that
I will mention briefly.
It is possible to rename a directory from below to above a bind mount.
At which point any directory pointers below the renamed directory can
be walked up to the root directory of the filesystem. With user
namespaces enabled a bind mount of the bind mount can be created
allowing the user to pick a directory whose children they can rename
to outside of the bind mount. This is challenging to fix and doubly
so because all obvious solutions must touch code that is in the
performance part of pathname resolution.
As mentioned above there is also a question of how to ensure that
developers by accident or with purpose do not introduce exectuable
files on sysfs and proc and in doing so introduce security regressions
in the current userspace that will not be immediately obvious and as
such are likely to require breaking userspace in painful ways once
they are recognized"

If count == 0 bytes are requested by a reader, sysfs_kf_bin_read()
deliberately returns 0 without passing a potentially harmful value to
some externally defined underlying battr->read() function.
However in case of (pos == size && count) the next clause always sets
count to 0 and this value is handed over to battr->read().
The change intends to make obsolete (and remove later) a redundant
sanity check in battr->read(), if it is present, or add more

Fresh mounts of proc and sysfs are a very special case that works very
much like a bind mount. Unfortunately the current structure can not
preserve the MNT_LOCK... mount flags. Therefore refactor the logic
into a form that can be modified to preserve those lock bits.
Add a new filesystem flag FS_USERNS_VISIBLE that requires some mount
of the filesystem be fully visible in the current mount namespace,
before the filesystem may be mounted.
Move the logic for calling fs_fully_visible from proc and sysfs into
fs/namespace.c where it has greater access to mount namespace state.

For sysfs file attributes, only read and write permissions make sense.
Mask provided attribute permissions accordingly and send a warning
to the console if invalid permission bits are set.
This patch is originally from Guenter [1] and includes the fixup
explained in the thread, that is printing permissions in octal format
and limiting the scope of attributes to SYSFS_PREALLOC | 0664.

Up to now, is_visible can only be used to either remove visibility
of a file entirely or to add permissions, but not to reduce permissions.
This makes it impossible, for example, to use DEVICE_ATTR_RW to define
file attributes and reduce permissions to read-only.
This behavior is undesirable and unnecessarily complicates code which
needs to reduce permissions; instead of just returning the desired
permissions, it has to ensure that the permissions in the attribute
variable declaration only reflect the minimal permissions ever needed.
Change semantics of is_visible to only use the permissions returned
from it instead of oring the returned value with the hard-coded
permissions.

When a new kernfs node is created, KERNFS_STATIC_NAME is used to avoid
making a separate copy of its name. It's currently only used for sysfs
attributes whose filenames are required to stay accessible and unchanged.
There are rare exceptions where these names are allocated and formatted
dynamically but for the vast majority of cases they're consts in the
rodata section.
Now that kernfs is converted to use kstrdup_const() and kfree_const(),
there's little point in keeping KERNFS_STATIC_NAME around. Remove it.

To match the previous patch which used the pre-alloc buffer for
writes, this patch causes reads to use the same buffer.
This is not strictly necessary as the current seq_read() will allocate
on first read, so user-space can trigger the required pre-alloc. But
consistency is valuable.
The read function is somewhat simpler than seq_read() and, for example,
does not support reading from an offset into the file: reads must be
at the start of the file.
As seq_read() does not use the prealloc buffer, ->seq_show is
incompatible with ->prealloc and caused an EINVAL return from open().
sysfs code which calls into kernfs always chooses the correct function.
As the buffer is shared with writes and other reads, the mutex is
extended to cover the copy_to_user.

md/raid allows metadata management to be performed in user-space.
A various times, particularly on device failure, the metadata needs
to be updated before further writes can be permitted.
This means that the user-space program which updates metadata much
not block on writeout, and so must not allocate memory.
mlockall(MCL_CURRENT|MCL_FUTURE) and pre-allocation can avoid all
memory allocation issues for user-memory, but that does not help
kernel memory.
Several kernel objects can be pre-allocated. e.g. files opened before
any writes to the array are permitted.
However some kernel allocation happens in places that cannot be
pre-allocated.
In particular, writes to sysfs files (to tell md that it can now
allow writes to the array) allocate a buffer using GFP_KERNEL.
This patch allows attributes to be marked as "PREALLOC". In that case
the maximal buffer is allocated when the file is opened, and then used
on each write instead of allocating a new buffer.
As the same buffer is now shared for all writes on the same file
description, the mutex is extended to cover full use of the buffer
including the copy_from_user().
The new __ATTR_PREALLOC() 'or's a new flag in to the 'mode', which is
inspected by sysfs_add_file_mode_ns() to determine if the file should be
marked as requiring prealloc.
Despite the comment, we *do* use ->seq_show together with ->prealloc
in this patch. The next patch fixes that.

13c589d5b0 ("sysfs: use seq_file when reading regular files")
switched sysfs from custom read implementation to seq_file to enable
later transition to kernfs. After the change, the buffer passed to
->show() is acquired through seq_get_buf(); unfortunately, this
introduces a subtle behavior change. Before the commit, the buffer
passed to ->show() was always zero as it was allocated using
get_zeroed_page(). Because seq_file doesn't clear buffers on
allocation and neither does seq_get_buf(), after the commit, depending
on the behavior of ->show(), we may end up exposing uninitialized data
to userland thus possibly altering userland visible behavior and
leaking information.
Fix it by explicitly clearing the buffer.

The kernfs open method - kernfs_fop_open() - inherited extra
permission checks from sysfs. While the vfs layer allows ignoring the
read/write permissions checks if the issuer has CAP_DAC_OVERRIDE,
sysfs explicitly denied open regardless of the cap if the file doesn't
have any of the UGO perms of the requested access or doesn't implement
the requested operation. It can be debated whether this was a good
idea or not but the behavior is too subtle and dangerous to change at
this point.
After cgroup got converted to kernfs, this extra perm check also got
applied to cgroup breaking libcgroup which opens write-only files with
O_RDWR as root. This patch gates the extra open permission check with
a new flag KERNFS_ROOT_EXTRA_OPEN_PERM_CHECK and enables it for sysfs.
For sysfs, nothing changes. For cgroup, root now can perform any
operation regardless of the permissions as it was before kernfs
conversion. Note that kernfs still fails unimplemented operations
with -EINVAL.
While at it, add comments explaining KERNFS_ROOT flags.

Fix this by making bin_attributes use creating code similar to normal

A quick grep shows that no one is using bin_attrs in a named attribute
group yet, so we can do this without breaking anything in usespace.

kernfs_node->parent and ->name are currently marked as "published"
indicating that kernfs users may access them directly; however, those
fields may get updated by kernfs_rename[_ns]() and unrestricted access
may lead to erroneous values or oops.
Protect ->parent and ->name updates with a irq-safe spinlock
kernfs_rename_lock and implement the following accessors for these
fields.
* kernfs_name() - format the node's name into the specified buffer
* kernfs_path() - format the node's path into the specified buffer
* pr_cont_kernfs_name() - pr_cont a node's name (doesn't need buffer)
* pr_cont_kernfs_path() - pr_cont a node's path (doesn't need buffer)
* kernfs_get_parent() - pin and return a node's parent
All can be called under any context. The recursive sysfs_pathname()
in fs/sysfs/dir.c is replaced with kernfs_path() and
sysfs_rename_dir_ns() is updated to use kernfs_get_parent() instead of
dereferencing parent directly.

Currently, kernfs_nodes are made visible to userland on creation,
which makes it difficult for kernfs users to atomically succeed or
fail creation of multiple nodes. In addition, if something fails
after creating some nodes, the created nodes might already be in use
and their active refs need to be drained for removal, which has the
potential to introduce tricky reverse locking dependency on active_ref
depending on how the error path is synchronized.
This patch introduces per-root flag KERNFS_ROOT_CREATE_DEACTIVATED.
If set, all nodes under the root are created in the deactivated state
and stay invisible to userland until explicitly enabled by the new
kernfs_activate() API. Also, nodes which have never been activated
are guaranteed to bypass draining on removal thus allowing error paths
to not worry about lockding dependency on active_ref draining.

Sometimes it's necessary to implement a node which wants to delete
nodes including itself. This isn't straightforward because of kernfs
active reference. While a file operation is in progress, an active
reference is held and kernfs_remove() waits for all such references to
drain before completing. For a self-deleting node, this is a deadlock
as kernfs_remove() ends up waiting for an active reference that itself
is sitting on top of.
This currently is worked around in the sysfs layer using
sysfs_schedule_callback() which makes such removals asynchronous.
While it works, it's rather cumbersome and inherently breaks
synchronicity of the operation - the file operation which triggered
the operation may complete before the removal is finished (or even
started) and the removal may fail asynchronously. If a removal
operation is immmediately followed by another operation which expects
the specific name to be available (e.g. removal followed by rename
onto the same name), there's no way to make the latter operation
reliable.
The thing is there's no inherent reason for this to be asynchrnous.
All that's necessary to do this synchronous is a dedicated operation
which drops its own active ref and deactivates self. This patch
implements kernfs_remove_self() and its wrappers in sysfs and driver
core. kernfs_remove_self() is to be called from one of the file
operations, drops the active ref the task is holding, removes the self
node, and restores active ref to the dead node so that the ref is
balanced afterwards. __kernfs_remove() is updated so that it takes an
early exit if the target node is already fully removed so that the
active ref restored by kernfs_remove_self() after removal doesn't
confuse the deactivation path.
This makes implementing self-deleting nodes very easy. The normal
removal path doesn't even need to be changed to use
kernfs_remove_self() for the self-deleting node. The method can
invoke kernfs_remove_self() on itself before proceeding the normal
removal path. kernfs_remove() invoked on the node by the normal
deletion path will simply be ignored.
This will replace sysfs_schedule_callback(). A subtle feature of
sysfs_schedule_callback() is that it collapses multiple invocations -
even if multiple removals are triggered, the removal callback is run
only once. An equivalent effect can be achieved by testing the return
value of kernfs_remove_self() - only the one which gets %true return
value should proceed with actual deletion. All other instances of
kernfs_remove_self() will wait till the enclosing kernfs operation
which invoked the winning instance of kernfs_remove_self() finishes
and then return %false. This trivially makes all users of
kernfs_remove_self() automatically show correct synchronous behavior
even when there are multiple concurrent operations - all "echo 1 >
delete" instances will finish only after the whole operation is
completed by one of the instances.
Note that manipulation of active ref is implemented in separate public
functions - kernfs_[un]break_active_protection().
kernfs_remove_self() is the only user at the moment but this will be
used to cater to more complex cases.
v2: For !CONFIG_SYSFS, dummy version kernfs_remove_self() was missing
and sysfs_remove_file_self() had incorrect return type. Fix it.
Reported by kbuild test bot.
v3: kernfs_[un]break_active_protection() separated out from
kernfs_remove_self() and exposed as public API.
