"The definition of insanity is doing the same thing over and over
again and expecting different results”
We've tried to do this before, most recently with commit bb2314b479
("fs: Allow unprivileged linkat(..., AT_EMPTY_PATH) aka flink") about a
decade ago.
But the effort goes back even further than that, eg this thread back
from 1998 that is so old that we don't even have it archived in lore:
https://lkml.org/lkml/1998/3/10/108
which also points out some of the reasons why it's dangerous.
Or, how about then in 2003:
https://lkml.org/lkml/2003/4/6/112
where we went through some of the same arguments, just wirh different
people involved.
In particular, having access to a file descriptor does not necessarily
mean that you have access to the path that was used for lookup, and
there may be very good reasons why you absolutely must not have access
to a path to said file.
For example, if we were passed a file descriptor from the outside into
some limited environment (think chroot, but also user namespaces etc) a
'flink()' system call could now make that file visible inside a context
where it's not supposed to be visible.
In the process the user may also be able to re-open it with permissions
that the original file descriptor did not have (eg a read-only file
descriptor may be associated with an underlying file that is writable).
Another variation on this is if somebody else (typically root) opens a
file in a directory that is not accessible to others, and passes the
file descriptor on as a read-only file. Again, the access to the file
descriptor does not imply that you should have access to a path to the
file in the filesystem.
So while we have tried this several times in the past, it never works.
The last time we did this, that commit bb2314b479 quickly got reverted
again in commit f0cc6ffb8c (Revert "fs: Allow unprivileged linkat(...,
AT_EMPTY_PATH) aka flink"), with a note saying "We may re-do this once
the whole discussion about the interface is done".
Well, the discussion is long done, and didn't come to any resolution.
There's no question that 'flink()' would be a useful operation, but it's
a dangerous one.
However, it does turn out that since 2008 (commit d76b0d9b2d: "CRED:
Use creds in file structs") we have had a fairly straightforward way to
check whether the file descriptor was opened by the same credentials as
the credentials of the flink().
That allows the most common patterns that people want to use, which tend
to be to either open the source carefully (ie using the openat2()
RESOLVE_xyz flags, and/or checking ownership with fstat() before
linking), or to use O_TMPFILE and fill in the file contents before it's
exposed to the world with linkat().
But it also means that if the file descriptor was opened by somebody
else, or we've gone through a credentials change since, the operation no
longer works (unless we have CAP_DAC_READ_SEARCH capabilities in the
opener's user namespace, as before).
Note that the credential equality check is done by using pointer
equality, which means that it's not enough that you have effectively the
same user - they have to be literally identical, since our credentials
are using copy-on-write semantics.
So you can't change your credentials to something else and try to change
it back to the same ones between the open() and the linkat(). This is
not meant to be some kind of generic permission check, this is literally
meant as a "the open and link calls are 'atomic' wrt user credentials"
check.
It also means that you can't just move things between namespaces,
because the credentials aren't just a list of uid's and gid's: they
includes the pointer to the user_ns that the capabilities are relative
to.
So let's try this one more time and see if maybe this approach ends up
being workable after all.

strncpy() is deprecated for use on NUL-terminated destination strings
[1] and as such we should prefer more robust and less ambiguous string
interfaces.
There is some care taken to ensure these destination buffers are
NUL-terminated by bounding the strncpy()'s by ORANGEFS_NAME_MAX - 1 or
ORANGEFS_MAX_SERVER_ADDR_LEN - 1. Instead, we can use the new 2-argument
version of strscpy() to guarantee NUL-termination on the destination
buffers while simplifying the code.
Based on usage with printf-likes, we can see these buffers are expected
to be NUL-terminated:
| gossip_debug(GOSSIP_NAME_DEBUG,
| "%s: doing lookup on %s under %pU,%d\n",
| __func__,
| new_op->upcall.req.lookup.d_name,

...
| gossip_debug(GOSSIP_SUPER_DEBUG,

NUL-padding isn't required for any of these destination buffers as
they've all been zero-allocated with op_alloc() or kzalloc().

There's a bunch of flags that are purely based on what the file
operations support while also never being conditionally set or unset.
IOW, they're not subject to change for individual files. Imho, such
flags don't need to live in f_mode they might as well live in the fops
structs itself. And the fops struct already has that lonely
mmap_supported_flags member. We might as well turn that into a generic
fop_flags member and move a few flags from FMODE_* space into FOP_*
space. That gets us four FMODE_* bits back and the ability for new
static flags that are about file ops to not have to live in FMODE_*
space but in their own FOP_* space. It's not the most beautiful thing
ever but it gets the job done. Yes, there'll be an additional pointer
chase but hopefully that won't matter for these flags.
I suspect there's a few more we can move into there and that we can also
redirect a bunch of new flag suggestions that follow this pattern into
the fop_flags field instead of f_mode.

Signed-off-by: Christian Brauner <brauner@kernel.org>
In kupdate writeback, only expired inode (have been dirty for longer than
dirty_expire_interval) is supposed to be written back. However, kupdate
writeback will writeback non-expired inode left in b_io or b_more_io from
last wb_writeback. As a result, writeback will keep being triggered
unexpected when we keep dirtying pages even dirty memory is under
threshold and inode is not expired. To be more specific:
Assume dirty background threshold is > 1G and dirty_expire_centisecs is
> 60s. When we running fio -size=1G -invalidate=0 -ioengine=libaio
--time_based -runtime=60... (keep dirtying), the writeback will keep
being triggered as following:
wb_workfn
wb_do_writeback
wb_check_background_flush
/*
* Wb dirty background threshold starts at 0 if device was idle and
* grows up when bandwidth of wb is updated. So a background
* writeback is triggered.
*/
wb_over_bg_thresh
/*
* Dirtied inode will be written back and added to b_more_io list
* after slice used up (because we keep dirtying the inode).
*/
wb_writeback
Writeback is triggered per dirty_writeback_centisecs as following:
wb_workfn
wb_do_writeback
wb_check_old_data_flush
/*
* Write back inode left in b_io and b_more_io from last wb_writeback
* even the inode is non-expired and it will be added to b_more_io
* again as slice will be used up (because we keep dirtying the
* inode)
*/
wb_writeback
Fix this by moving non-expired inode to dirty list instead of more io
list for kupdate writeback in requeue_inode.
Test as following:
/* make it more easier to observe the issue */
echo 300000 > /proc/sys/vm/dirty_expire_centisecs
echo 100 > /proc/sys/vm/dirty_writeback_centisecs
/* create a idle device */
mkfs.ext4 -F /dev/vdb
mount /dev/vdb /bdi1/
/* run buffer write with fio */
fio -name test -filename=/bdi1/file -size=800M -ioengine=libaio -bs=4K \
-iodepth=1 -rw=write -direct=0 --time_based -runtime=60 -invalidate=0
Fio result before fix (run three tests):

Clearing BSS should only be done once, at the very beginning.
efi_pe_entry() is the entrypoint from the firmware, which may not clear
BSS and so it is done explicitly. However, efi_pe_entry() is also used
as an entrypoint by the mixed mode startup code, in which case BSS will
already have been cleared, and doing it again at this point will corrupt
global variables holding the firmware's GDT/IDT and segment selectors.
So make the memset() conditional on whether the EFI stub is running in
native mode.

Normally, the EFI stub calls into the EFI boot services using the stack
that was live when the stub was entered. According to the UEFI spec,
this stack needs to be at least 128k in size - this might seem large but
all asynchronous processing and event handling in EFI runs from the same
stack and so quite a lot of space may be used in practice.
In mixed mode, the situation is a bit different: the bootloader calls
the 32-bit EFI stub entry point, which calls the decompressor's 32-bit
entry point, where the boot stack is set up, using a fixed allocation
of 16k. This stack is still in use when the EFI stub is started in
64-bit mode, and so all calls back into the EFI firmware will be using
the decompressor's limited boot stack.
Due to the placement of the boot stack right after the boot heap, any
stack overruns have gone unnoticed. However, commit
5c4feadb0011983b ("x86/decompressor: Move global symbol references to C code")
moved the definition of the boot heap into C code, and now the boot
stack is placed right at the base of BSS, where any overruns will
corrupt the end of the .data section.
While it would be possible to work around this by increasing the size of
the boot stack, doing so would affect all x86 systems, and mixed mode
systems are a tiny (and shrinking) fraction of the x86 installed base.
So instead, record the firmware stack pointer value when entering from
the 32-bit firmware, and switch to this stack every time a EFI boot
service call is made.

Commit 63bed96604 ("x86/startup_64: Defer assignment of 5-level paging
global variables") moved assignment of 5-level global variables to later
in the boot in order to avoid having to use RIP relative addressing in
order to set them. However, when running with 5-level paging and SME
active (mem_encrypt=on), the variables are needed as part of the page
table setup needed to encrypt the kernel (using pgd_none(), p4d_offset(),
etc.). Since the variables haven't been set, the page table manipulation
is done as if 4-level paging is active, causing the system to crash on
boot.
While only a subset of the assignments that were moved need to be set
early, move all of the assignments back into check_la57_support() so that
these assignments aren't spread between two locations. Instead of just
reverting the fix, this uses the new RIP_REL_REF() macro when assigning
the variables.

When running with 5-level page tables, the kernel mapping PGD entry is
updated to point to the P4D table. The assignment uses _PAGE_TABLE_NOENC,

Change the assignment to use _PAGE_TABLE instead of _PAGE_TABLE_NOENC so

Commit 672365477a ("x86/fpu: Update XFD state where required") and
commit 8bf26758ca ("x86/fpu: Add XFD state to fpstate") introduced a
per CPU variable xfd_state to keep the MSR_IA32_XFD value cached, in
order to avoid unnecessary writes to the MSR.
On CPU hotplug MSR_IA32_XFD is reset to the init_fpstate.xfd, which
wipes out any stale state. But the per CPU cached xfd value is not
reset, which brings them out of sync.
As a consequence a subsequent xfd_update_state() might fail to update
the MSR which in turn can result in XRSTOR raising a #NM in kernel
space, which crashes the kernel.
To fix this, introduce xfd_set_state() to write xfd_state together
with MSR_IA32_XFD, and use it in all places that set MSR_IA32_XFD.

Pull timer fixes from Thomas Gleixner:
"Two regression fixes for the timer and timer migration code:
- Prevent endless timer requeuing which is caused by two CPUs racing
out of idle. This happens when the last CPU goes idle and therefore
has to ensure to expire the pending global timers and some other
CPU come out of idle at the same time and the other CPU wins the
race and expires the global queue. This causes the last CPU to
chase ghost timers forever and reprogramming it's clockevent device
endlessly.
Cure this by re-evaluating the wakeup time unconditionally.
- The split into local (pinned) and global timers in the timer wheel
caused a regression for NOHZ full as it broke the idle tracking of
global timers. On NOHZ full this prevents an self IPI being sent
which in turn causes the timer to be not programmed and not being
expired on time.
Restore the idle tracking for the global timer base so that the

Pull more clocksource updates from Thomas Gleixner:
"A set of updates for clocksource and clockevent drivers:
- A fix for the prescaler of the ARM global timer where the prescaler
mask define only covered 4 bits while it is actully 8 bits wide.
This obviously restricted the possible range of prescaler
adjustments
- A fix for the RISC-V timer which prevents a timer interrupt being
raised while the timer is initialized
- A set of device tree updates to support new system on chips in
various drivers
- Kernel-doc and other cleanups all over the place"

Pull irq fixes from Thomas Gleixner:
"A series of fixes for the Renesas RZG21 interrupt chip driver to
prevent spurious and misrouted interrupts.
- Ensure that posted writes are flushed in the eoi() callback
- Ensure that interrupts are masked at the chip level when the
trigger type is changed
- Clear the interrupt status register when setting up edge type
trigger modes
- Ensure that the trigger type and routing information is set before
the interrupt is enabled"

Pull core entry fix from Thomas Gleixner:
"A single fix for the generic entry code:
The trace_sys_enter() tracepoint can modify the syscall number via
kprobes or BPF in pt_regs, but that requires that the syscall number
is re-evaluted from pt_regs after the tracepoint.
A seccomp fix in that area removed the re-evaluation so the change
does not take effect as the code just uses the locally cached number.
Restore the original behaviour by re-evaluating the syscall number
after the tracepoint"

The APIC address is registered twice. First during the early detection and
afterwards when actually scanning the table for APIC IDs. The APIC and
topology core warn about the second attempt.
Restrict it to the early detection call.

If there is no local APIC enumerated and registered then the topology
bitmaps are empty. Therefore, topology_init_possible_cpus() will die with
a division by zero exception.
Prevent this by registering a fake APIC id to populate the topology
bitmap. This also allows to use all topology query interfaces
unconditionally. It does not affect the actual APIC code because either
the local APIC address was not registered or no local APIC could be
detected.

The local APICs have not yet been enumerated so the logical ID evaluation
from the topology bitmaps does not work and would return an error code.
Skip the evaluation during the early boot CPUID evaluation and only apply
it on the final run.

The boot sequence evaluates CPUID information twice:
1) During early boot
2) When finalizing the early setup right before
mitigations are selected and alternatives are patched.
In both cases the evaluation is stored in boot_cpu_data, but on UP the
copying of boot_cpu_data to the per CPU info of the boot CPU happens
between #1 and #2. So any update which happens in #2 is never propagated to
the per CPU info instance.
Consolidate the whole logic and copy boot_cpu_data right before applying
alternatives as that's the point where boot_cpu_data is in it's final
state and not supposed to change anymore.
This also removes the voodoo mb() from smp_prepare_cpus_common() which
had absolutely no purpose.
