In one case it changes the output from

though it seems it prints same data (by meaning) in both cases.  I decide
to choose to use the space divided one.

37607102c4 seq_file: provide an analogue of print_hex_dump()
This introduces a new helper and switches current users to use it.  All
patches are compiled tested. kmemleak is tested via its own test suite.

This patch (of 6):

The new seq_hex_dump() is a complete analogue of print_hex_dump().

We have few users of this functionality already. It allows to reduce their
codebase.

40f705a736 fs: Don't dump core if the corefile would become world-readable.
On a filesystem like vfat, all files are created with the same owner
and mode independent of who created the file. When a vfat filesystem
is mounted with root as owner of all files and read access for everyone,
root's processes left world-readable coredumps on it (but other
users' processes only left empty corefiles when given write access
because of the uid mismatch).

Given that the old behavior was inconsistent and insecure, I don't see
a problem with changing it. Now, all processes refuse to dump core unless
the resulting corefile will only be readable by their owner.

fbb1816942 fs: if a coredump already exists, unlink and recreate with O_EXCL
It was possible for an attacking user to trick root (or another user) into
writing his coredumps into an attacker-readable, pre-existing file using
rename() or link(), causing the disclosure of secret data from the victim
process' virtual memory.  Depending on the configuration, it was also
possible to trick root into overwriting system files with coredumps.  Fix
that issue by never writing coredumps into existing files.

Requirements for the attack:
 - The attack only applies if the victim's process has a nonzero
   RLIMIT_CORE and is dumpable.
 - The attacker can trick the victim into coredumping into an
   attacker-writable directory D, either because the core_pattern is
   relative and the victim's cwd is attacker-writable or because an
   absolute core_pattern pointing to a world-writable directory is used.
 - The attacker has one of these:
  A: on a system with protected_hardlinks=0:
     execute access to a folder containing a victim-owned,
     attacker-readable file on the same partition as D, and the
     victim-owned file will be deleted before the main part of the attack
     takes place. (In practice, there are lots of files that fulfill
     this condition, e.g. entries in Debian's /var/lib/dpkg/info/.)
     This does not apply to most Linux systems because most distros set
     protected_hardlinks=1.
  B: on a system with protected_hardlinks=1:
     execute access to a folder containing a victim-owned,
     attacker-readable and attacker-writable file on the same partition
     as D, and the victim-owned file will be deleted before the main part
     of the attack takes place.
     (This seems to be uncommon.)
  C: on any system, independent of protected_hardlinks:
     write access to a non-sticky folder containing a victim-owned,
     attacker-readable file on the same partition as D
     (This seems to be uncommon.)

The basic idea is that the attacker moves the victim-owned file to where
he expects the victim process to dump its core.  The victim process dumps
its core into the existing file, and the attacker reads the coredump from
it.

If the attacker can't move the file because he does not have write access
to the containing directory, he can instead link the file to a directory
he controls, then wait for the original link to the file to be deleted
(because the kernel checks that the link count of the corefile is 1).

A less reliable variant that requires D to be non-sticky works with link()
and does not require deletion of the original link: link() the file into
D, but then unlink() it directly before the kernel performs the link count
check.

On systems with protected_hardlinks=0, this variant allows an attacker to
not only gain information from coredumps, but also clobber existing,
victim-writable files with coredumps.  (This could theoretically lead to a
privilege escalation.)

bb304a5c6f kmod: handle UMH_WAIT_PROC from system unbound workqueue
The UMH_WAIT_PROC handler runs in its own thread in order to make sure
that waiting for the exec kernel thread completion won't block other
usermodehelper queued jobs.

On older workqueue implementations, worklets couldn't sleep without
blocking the rest of the queue.  But now the workqueue subsystem handles
that.  Khelper still had the older limitation due to its singlethread
properties but we replaced it to system unbound workqueues.

Those are affine to the current node and can block up to some number of
instances.

They are a good candidate to handle UMH_WAIT_PROC assuming that we have
enough system unbound workers to handle lots of parallel usermodehelper
jobs.

90f023030e kmod: use system_unbound_wq instead of khelper
We need to launch the usermodehelper kernel threads with the widest
affinity and this is partly why we use khelper.  This workqueue has
unbound properties and thus a wide affinity inherited by all its children.

Now khelper also has special properties that we aren't much interested in:
ordered and singlethread.  There is really no need about ordering as all
we do is creating kernel threads.  This can be done concurrently.  And
singlethread is a useless limitation as well.

The workqueue engine already proposes generic unbound workqueues that
don't share these useless properties and handle well parallel jobs.

The only worrysome specific is their affinity to the node of the current
CPU.  It's fine for creating the usermodehelper kernel threads but those
inherit this affinity for longer jobs such as requesting modules.

This patch proposes to use these node affine unbound workqueues assuming
that a node is sufficient to handle several parallel usermodehelper
requests.

b639e86bae kmod: add up-to-date explanations on the purpose of each asynchronous levels
There seem to be quite some confusions on the comments, likely due to
changes that came after them.

Now since it's very non obvious why we have 3 levels of asynchronous code
to implement usermodehelpers, it's important to comment in detail the
reason of this layout.

d097c0240a kmod: remove unecessary explicit wide CPU affinity setting
Khelper is affine to all CPUs.  Now since it creates the
call_usermodehelper_exec_[a]sync() kernel threads, those inherit the wide
affinity.

As such explicitly forcing a wide affinity from those kernel threads
is like a no-op.

Just remove it. It's needless and it breaks CPU isolation users who
rely on workqueue affinity tuning.

b6b50a814d kmod: bunch of internal functions renames
This patchset does a bunch of cleanups and converts khelper to use system
unbound workqueues.  The 3 first patches should be uncontroversial.  The
last 2 patches are debatable.

Kmod creates kernel threads that perform userspace jobs and we want those
to have a large affinity in order not to contend busy CPUs.  This is
(partly) why we use khelper which has a wide affinity that the kernel
threads it create can inherit from.  Now khelper is a dedicated workqueue
that has singlethread properties which we aren't interested in.

Hence those two debatable changes:

_ We would like to use generic workqueues. System unbound workqueues are
  a very good candidate but they are not wide affine, only node affine.
  Now probably a node is enough to perform many parallel kmod jobs.

_ We would like to remove the wait_for_helper kernel thread (UMH_WAIT_PROC
  handler) to use the workqueue. It means that if the workqueue blocks,
  and no other worker can take pending kmod request, we can be screwed.
  Now if we have 512 threads, this should be enough.

This patch (of 5):

Underscores on function names aren't much verbose to explain the purpose
of a function.  And kmod has interesting such flavours.

Lets rename the following functions:

* __call_usermodehelper -> call_usermodehelper_exec_work
* ____call_usermodehelper -> call_usermodehelper_exec_async
* wait_for_helper -> call_usermodehelper_exec_sync

non-zero status, then the return value from request_module() will be that
(positive) error status.  So the return from request_module can be:

 negative errno

 positive exit code.

to keep similar code paths in the hfs and hfsplus drivers in sync, where

7cb74be6fd hfs,hfsplus: cache pages correctly between bnode_create and bnode_free
Pages looked up by __hfs_bnode_create() (called by hfs_bnode_create() and
hfs_bnode_find() for finding or creating pages corresponding to an inode)
are immediately kmap()'ed and used (both read and write) and kunmap()'ed,
and should not be page_cache_release()'ed until hfs_bnode_free().

This patch fixes a problem I first saw in July 2012: merely running "du"
on a large hfsplus-mounted directory a few times on a reasonably loaded
system would get the hfsplus driver all confused and complaining about
B-tree inconsistencies, and generates a "BUG: Bad page state".  Most
recently, I can generate this problem on up-to-date Fedora 22 with shipped
kernel 4.0.5, by running "du /" (="/" + "/home" + "/mnt" + other smaller
mounts) and "du /mnt" simultaneously on two windows, where /mnt is a
lightly-used QEMU VM image of the full Mac OS X 10.9:

$ df -i / /home /mnt
Filesystem                  Inodes   IUsed      IFree IUse% Mounted on
/dev/mapper/fedora-root    3276800  551665    2725135   17% /
/dev/mapper/fedora-home   52879360  716221   52163139    2% /home
/dev/nbd0p2             4294967295 1387818 4293579477    1% /mnt

After applying the patch, I was able to run "du /" (60+ times) and "du
/mnt" (150+ times) continuously and simultaneously for 6+ hours.

There are many reports of the hfsplus driver getting confused under load
and generating "BUG: Bad page state" or other similar issues over the
years.  [1]

The unpatched code [2] has always been wrong since it entered the kernel
tree.  The only reason why it gets away with it is that the
kmap/memcpy/kunmap follow very quickly after the page_cache_release() so
the kernel has not had a chance to reuse the memory for something else,
most of the time.

The current RW driver appears to have followed the design and development
of the earlier read-only hfsplus driver [3], where-by version 0.1 (Dec
2001) had a B-tree node-centric approach to
read_cache_page()/page_cache_release() per bnode_get()/bnode_put(),
migrating towards version 0.2 (June 2002) of caching and releasing pages
per inode extents.  When the current RW code first entered the kernel [2]
in 2005, there was an REF_PAGES conditional (and "//" commented out code)
to switch between B-node centric paging to inode-centric paging.  There
was a mistake with the direction of one of the REF_PAGES conditionals in
__hfs_bnode_create().  In a subsequent "remove debug code" commit [4], the
read_cache_page()/page_cache_release() per bnode_get()/bnode_put() were
removed, but a page_cache_release() was mistakenly left in (propagating
the "REF_PAGES <-> !REF_PAGE" mistake), and the commented-out
page_cache_release() in bnode_release() (which should be spanned by
!REF_PAGES) was never enabled.

3725e9dd5b fs/coda: fix readlink buffer overflow
Dan Carpenter discovered a buffer overflow in the Coda file system
readlink code.  A userspace file system daemon can return a 4096 byte
result which then triggers a one byte write past the allocated readlink
result buffer.

This does not trigger with an unmodified Coda implementation because Coda
has a 1024 byte limit for symbolic links, however other userspace file
systems using the Coda kernel module could be affected.

Although this is an obvious overflow, I don't think this has to be handled
as too sensitive from a security perspective because the overflow is on
the Coda userspace daemon side which already needs root to open Coda's
kernel device and to mount the file system before we get to the point that
links can be read.

c5595fa2f1 checkpatch: add constant comparison on left side test
"CONST <comparison> variable" checks like:

        if (NULL != foo)
and
        while (0 < bar(...))

where a constant (or what appears to be a constant like an upper case
identifier) is on the left of a comparison are generally preferred to be
written using the constant on the right side like:

        if (foo != NULL)
and
        while (bar(...) > 0)

Add a test for this.

Add a --fix option too, but only do it when the code is immediately
surrounded by parentheses to avoid misfixing things like "(0 < bar() +
constant)"

In kmalloc_oob_krealloc_less, I think it is better to test
the size2 boundary.

If we do not call krealloc, the access of position size1 will still cause
out-of-bounds and access of position size2 does not.  After call krealloc,
the access of position size2 cause out-of-bounds.  So using size2 is more
correct.

In __bitmap_parselist we can accept whitespaces on head or tail during

For example, bitmap_parselist(" 1-3, 5, ", &mask, nmaskbits).  After
separating the string, we get " 1-3", " 5", and " ".  It's possible and
reasonable to accept such string as long as the parsing result is correct.

8a5e5e02fc include/linux/poison.h: fix LIST_POISON{1,2} offset
Poison pointer values should be small enough to find a room in
non-mmap'able/hardly-mmap'able space.  E.g.  on x86 "poison pointer space"
is located starting from 0x0.  Given unprivileged users cannot mmap
anything below mmap_min_addr, it should be safe to use poison pointers
lower than mmap_min_addr.

The current poison pointer values of LIST_POISON{1,2} might be too big for
mmap_min_addr values equal or less than 1 MB (common case, e.g.  Ubuntu
uses only 0x10000).  There is little point to use such a big value given
the "poison pointer space" below 1 MB is not yet exhausted.  Changing it
to a smaller value solves the problem for small mmap_min_addr setups.

The values are suggested by Solar Designer:

ecf1a3dfff proc: change proc_subdir_lock to a rwlock
The proc_subdir_lock spinlock is used to allow only one task to make
change to the proc directory structure as well as looking up information
in it.  However, the information lookup part can actually be entered by
more than one task as the pde_get() and pde_put() reference count update
calls in the critical sections are atomic increment and decrement
respectively and so are safe with concurrent updates.

The x86 architecture has already used qrwlock which is fair and other
architectures like ARM are in the process of switching to qrwlock.  So
unfairness shouldn't be a concern in that conversion.

This patch changed the proc_subdir_lock to a rwlock in order to enable
concurrent lookup. The following functions were modified to take a
write lock:
 - proc_register()
 - remove_proc_entry()
 - remove_proc_subtree()

The following functions were modified to take a read lock:
 - xlate_proc_name()
 - proc_lookup_de()
 - proc_readdir_de()

A parallel /proc filesystem search with the "find" command (1000 threads)
was run on a 4-socket Haswell-EX box (144 threads).  Before the patch, the
parallel search took about 39s.  After the patch, the parallel find took
only 25s, a saving of about 14s.

The micro-benchmark that I used was artificial, but it was used to
reproduce an exit hanging problem that I saw in real application.  In
fact, only allow one task to do a lookup seems too limiting to me.

bdb4d100af procfs: always expose /proc/<pid>/map_files/ and make it readable
Currently, /proc/<pid>/map_files/ is restricted to CAP_SYS_ADMIN, and is
only exposed if CONFIG_CHECKPOINT_RESTORE is set.

Each mapped file region gets a symlink in /proc/<pid>/map_files/
corresponding to the virtual address range at which it is mapped.  The
symlinks work like the symlinks in /proc/<pid>/fd/, so you can follow them
to the backing file even if that backing file has been unlinked.

Currently, files which are mapped, unlinked, and closed are impossible to
stat() from userspace.  Exposing /proc/<pid>/map_files/ closes this
functionality "hole".

Not being able to stat() such files makes noticing and explicitly
accounting for the space they use on the filesystem impossible.  You can
work around this by summing up the space used by every file in the
filesystem and subtracting that total from what statfs() tells you, but
that obviously isn't great, and it becomes unworkable once your filesystem
becomes large enough.

This patch moves map_files/ out from behind CONFIG_CHECKPOINT_RESTORE, and
adjusts the permissions enforced on it as follows:

* proc_map_files_lookup()
* proc_map_files_readdir()
* map_files_d_revalidate()

	Remove the CAP_SYS_ADMIN restriction, leaving only the current
	restriction requiring PTRACE_MODE_READ. The information made
	available to userspace by these three functions is already
	available in /proc/PID/maps with MODE_READ, so I don't see any
	reason to limit them any further (see below for more detail).

* proc_map_files_follow_link()

	This stub has been added, and requires that the user have
	CAP_SYS_ADMIN in order to follow the links in map_files/,
	since there was concern on LKML both about the potential for
	bypassing permissions on ancestor directories in the path to
	files pointed to, and about what happens with more exotic
	memory mappings created by some drivers (ie dma-buf).

In older versions of this patch, I changed every permission check in
the four functions above to enforce MODE_ATTACH instead of MODE_READ.
This was an oversight on my part, and after revisiting the discussion
it seems that nobody was concerned about anything outside of what is
made possible by ->follow_link(). So in this version, I've left the
checks for PTRACE_MODE_READ as-is.

f074a8f49e proc: export idle flag via kpageflags
As noted by Minchan, a benefit of reading idle flag from /proc/kpageflags
is that one can easily filter dirty and/or unevictable pages while
estimating the size of unused memory.

Note that idle flag read from /proc/kpageflags may be stale in case the
page was accessed via a PTE, because it would be too costly to iterate
over all page mappings on each /proc/kpageflags read to provide an
up-to-date value.  To make sure the flag is up-to-date one has to read
/sys/kernel/mm/page_idle/bitmap first.
