Eleven patches in total, most fall into the small fix category, but
there are three non-trivial changes worth calling out:
- the audit entry filter is being removed after deprecating it for
quite a while (years of no one really using it because it turns out
to be not very practical)
- created our own version of "__mutex_owner()" because the locking
folks were upset we were using theirs
- improved our handling of kernel command line parameters to make
them more forgiving
- we fixed auditing of symlink operations

Currently <linux/slab.h> #includes <linux/kmemleak.h> for no obvious
reason. It looks like it's only a convenience, so remove kmemleak.h
from slab.h and add <linux/kmemleak.h> to any users of kmemleak_* that
don't already #include it. Also remove <linux/kmemleak.h> from source
files that do not use it.
This is tested on i386 allmodconfig and x86_64 allmodconfig. It would
be good to run it through the 0day bot for other $ARCHes. I have
neither the horsepower nor the storage space for the other $ARCHes.
Update: This patch has been extensively build-tested by both the 0day
bot & kisskb/ozlabs build farms. Both of them reported 2 build failures
for which patches are included here (in v2).
[ slab.h is the second most used header file after module.h; kernel.h is
right there with slab.h. There could be some minor error in the
counting due to some #includes having comments after them and I didn't
combine all of those. ]

KASAN splats indicate that in some cases we free a live mm, then
continue to access it, with potentially disastrous results. This is
likely due to a mismatched mmdrop() somewhere in the kernel, but so far
the culprit remains elusive.
Let's have __mmdrop() verify that the mm isn't live for the current
task, similar to the existing check for init_mm. This way, we can catch
this class of issue earlier, and without requiring KASAN.
Currently, idle_task_exit() leaves active_mm stale after it switches to
init_mm. This isn't harmful, but will trigger the new assertions, so we
must adjust idle_task_exit() to update active_mm.

from Luis as he attempts to wrangle that codebase into something that is
managable, along with a bunch of userspace tests for it. Other than
that, a handful of small bugfixes and reverts of things that didn't work
out.

Nothing particularly stands out here, probably because people were tied
up with spectre/meltdown stuff last time around. Still, the main pieces
are:
- Rework of our CPU features framework so that we can whitelist CPUs that
don't require kpti even in a heterogeneous system
- Support for the IDC/DIC architecture extensions, which allow us to elide
instruction and data cache maintenance when writing out instructions
- Removal of the large memory model which resulted in suboptimal codegen
by the compiler and increased the use of literal pools, which could
potentially be used as ROP gadgets since they are mapped as executable
- Rework of forced signal delivery so that the siginfo_t is well-formed
and handling of show_unhandled_signals is consolidated and made
consistent between different fault types
- More siginfo cleanup based on the initial patches from Eric Biederman
- Workaround for Cortex-A55 erratum #1024718

"A small set of updates for timers and timekeeping:
- The most interesting change is the consolidation of clock MONOTONIC
and clock BOOTTIME.
Clock MONOTONIC behaves now exactly like clock BOOTTIME and does
not longer ignore the time spent in suspend. A new clock
MONOTONIC_ACTIVE is provived which behaves like clock MONOTONIC in
kernels before this change. This allows applications to
programmatically check for the clock MONOTONIC behaviour.
As discussed in the review thread, this has the potential of
breaking user space and we might have to revert this. Knock on wood
that we can avoid that exercise.

- A new kernel internal data structure to aid the ongoing Y2038 work.

These config switches enable the same code in the core and the not yet
converted architecture code. They can be selected both by randconfig builds
and cause linker error because the same symbols are defined twice.
Make the new GENERIC_IRQ_MULTI_HANDLER depend on !MULTI_IRQ_HANDLER to
prevent that. The dependency will be removed once all architectures are
converted over.

Pull namespace updates from Eric Biederman:
"There was a lot of work this cycle fixing bugs that were discovered
after the merge window and getting everything ready where we can
reasonably support fully unprivileged fuse. The bug fixes you already
have and much of the unprivileged fuse work is coming in via other
trees.
Still left for fully unprivileged fuse is figuring out how to cleanly
handle .set_acl and .get_acl in the legacy case, and properly handling
of evm xattrs on unprivileged mounts.
Included in the tree is a cleanup from Alexely that replaced a linked
list with a statically allocated fix sized array for the pid caches,
which simplifies and speeds things up.
Then there is are some cleanups and fixes for the ipc namespace. The
motivation was that in reviewing other code it was discovered that
access ipc objects from different pid namespaces recorded pids in such
a way that when asked the wrong pids were returned. In the worst case
there has been a measured 30% performance impact for sysvipc
semaphores. Other test cases showed no measurable performance impact.
Manfred Spraul and Davidlohr Bueso who tend to work on sysvipc
performance both gave the nod that this is good enough.
Casey Schaufler and James Morris have given their approval to the LSM
side of the changes.
I simplified the types and the code dealing with sysvipc to pass just
kern_ipc_perm for all three types of ipc. Which reduced the header
dependencies throughout the kernel and simplified the lsm code.
Which let me work on the pid fixes without having to worry about
trivial changes causing complete kernel recompiles"

Pull removal of in-kernel calls to syscalls from Dominik Brodowski:
"System calls are interaction points between userspace and the kernel.
Therefore, system call functions such as sys_xyzzy() or
compat_sys_xyzzy() should only be called from userspace via the
syscall table, but not from elsewhere in the kernel.
At least on 64-bit x86, it will likely be a hard requirement from
v4.17 onwards to not call system call functions in the kernel: It is
better to use use a different calling convention for system calls
there, where struct pt_regs is decoded on-the-fly in a syscall wrapper
which then hands processing over to the actual syscall function. This
means that only those parameters which are actually needed for a
specific syscall are passed on during syscall entry, instead of
filling in six CPU registers with random user space content all the
time (which may cause serious trouble down the call chain). Those
x86-specific patches will be pushed through the x86 tree in the near
future.
Moreover, rules on how data may be accessed may differ between kernel
data and user data. This is another reason why calling sys_xyzzy() is
generally a bad idea, and -- at most -- acceptable in arch-specific
code.
This patchset removes all in-kernel calls to syscall functions in the
kernel with the exception of arch/. On top of this, it cleans up the
three places where many syscalls are referenced or prototyped, namely
kernel/sys_ni.c, include/linux/syscalls.h and include/linux/compat.h"

This removes the entire architecture code for blackfin, cris, frv, m32r,
metag, mn10300, score, and tile, including the associated device drivers.
I have been working with the (former) maintainers for each one to ensure
that my interpretation was right and the code is definitely unused in
mainline kernels. Many had fond memories of working on the respective
ports to start with and getting them included in upstream, but also saw
no point in keeping the port alive without any users.
In the end, it seems that while the eight architectures are extremely
different, they all suffered the same fate: There was one company
in charge of an SoC line, a CPU microarchitecture and a software
ecosystem, which was more costly than licensing newer off-the-shelf
CPU cores from a third party (typically ARM, MIPS, or RISC-V). It seems
that all the SoC product lines are still around, but have not used the
custom CPU architectures for several years at this point. In contrast,
CPU instruction sets that remain popular and have actively maintained
kernel ports tend to all be used across multiple licensees.
The removal came out of a discussion that is now documented at
https://lwn.net/Articles/748074/. Unlike the original plans, I'm not
marking any ports as deprecated but remove them all at once after I made
sure that they are all unused. Some architectures (notably tile, mn10300,
and blackfin) are still being shipped in products with old kernels,
but those products will never be updated to newer kernel releases.
After this series, we still have a few architectures without mainline
gcc support:
- unicore32 and hexagon both have very outdated gcc releases, but the
maintainers promised to work on providing something newer. At least
in case of hexagon, this will only be llvm, not gcc.
- openrisc, risc-v and nds32 are still in the process of finishing their
support or getting it added to mainline gcc in the first place.
They all have patched gcc-7.3 ports that work to some degree, but
complete upstream support won't happen before gcc-8.1. Csky posted
their first kernel patch set last week, their situation will be similar.

Pull perf updates from Ingo Molnar:
"The main kernel side changes were:
- Modernize the kprobe and uprobe creation/destruction tooling ABIs:
The existing text based APIs (kprobe_events and uprobe_events in
tracefs), are naive, limited ABIs in that they require user-space
to clean up after themselves, which is both difficult and fragile
if the tool is buggy or exits unexpectedly. In other words they are
not really suited for modern, robust tooling.
So introduce a modern, file descriptor based ABI that does not have
these limitations: introduce the 'perf_kprobe' and 'perf_uprobe'
PMUs and extend the perf_event_open() syscall to create events with
a kprobe/uprobe attached to them. These [k,u]probe are associated
with this file descriptor, so they are not available in tracefs.
(Song Liu)
- Intel Cannon Lake CPU support (Harry Pan)
- Intel PT cleanups (Alexander Shishkin)
- Improve the performance of pinned/flexible event groups by using RB
trees (Alexey Budankov)
- Add PERF_EVENT_IOC_MODIFY_ATTRIBUTES which allows the modification
of hardware breakpoints, which new ABI variant massively speeds up
existing tooling that uses hardware breakpoints to instrument (and
debug) memory usage.
(Milind Chabbi, Jiri Olsa)
- Various Intel PEBS handling fixes and improvements, and other Intel
PMU improvements (Kan Liang)
- Various perf core improvements and optimizations (Peter Zijlstra)
- ... misc cleanups, fixes and updates.
There's over 200 tooling commits, here's an (imperfect) list of

- 'perf annotate' improvements:
* Recognize and handle jumps to other functions as calls, which
improves the navigation along jumps and back. (Arnaldo Carvalho
de Melo)
* Add the 'P' hotkey in TUI annotation to dump annotation output
into a file, to ease e-mail reporting of annotation details.
(Arnaldo Carvalho de Melo)
* Add an IPC/cycles column to the TUI (Jin Yao)
* Improve s390 assembly annotation (Thomas Richter)
* Refactor the output formatting logic to better separate it into
interactive and non-interactive features and add the --stdio2
output variant to demonstrate this. (Arnaldo Carvalho de Melo)

Pull locking updates from Ingo Molnar:
"The main changes in the locking subsystem in this cycle were:
- Add the Linux Kernel Memory Consistency Model (LKMM) subsystem,
which is an an array of tools in tools/memory-model/ that formally
describe the Linux memory coherency model (a.k.a.
Documentation/memory-barriers.txt), and also produce 'litmus tests'
in form of kernel code which can be directly executed and tested.
Here's a high level background article about an earlier version of
this work on LWN.net:
https://lwn.net/Articles/718628/
The design principles:
"There is reason to believe that Documentation/memory-barriers.txt
could use some help, and a major purpose of this patch is to
provide that help in the form of a design-time tool that can
produce all valid executions of a small fragment of concurrent
Linux-kernel code, which is called a "litmus test". This tool's
functionality is roughly similar to a full state-space search.
Please note that this is a design-time tool, not useful for
regression testing. However, we hope that the underlying
Linux-kernel memory model will be incorporated into other tools
capable of analyzing large bodies of code for regression-testing
purposes."
[...]
"A second tool is klitmus7, which converts litmus tests to
loadable kernel modules for direct testing. As with herd7, the
klitmus7 code is freely available from
http://diy.inria.fr/sources/index.html
(and via "git" at https://github.com/herd/herdtools7)"

pull-request: bpf-next 2018-03-31
The following pull-request contains BPF updates for your *net-next* tree.
The main changes are:
1) Add raw BPF tracepoint API in order to have a BPF program type that
can access kernel internal arguments of the tracepoints in their
raw form similar to kprobes based BPF programs. This infrastructure
also adds a new BPF_RAW_TRACEPOINT_OPEN command to BPF syscall which
returns an anon-inode backed fd for the tracepoint object that allows
for automatic detach of the BPF program resp. unregistering of the
tracepoint probe on fd release, from Alexei.
2) Add new BPF cgroup hooks at bind() and connect() entry in order to
allow BPF programs to reject, inspect or modify user space passed
struct sockaddr, and as well a hook at post bind time once the port
has been allocated. They are used in FB's container management engine
for implementing policy, replacing fragile LD_PRELOAD wrapper
intercepting bind() and connect() calls that only works in limited
scenarios like glibc based apps but not for other runtimes in
containerized applications, from Andrey.
3) BPF_F_INGRESS flag support has been added to sockmap programs for
their redirect helper call bringing it in line with cls_bpf based
programs. Support is added for both variants of sockmap programs,
meaning for tx ULP hooks as well as recv skb hooks, from John.
4) Various improvements on BPF side for the nfp driver, besides others
this work adds BPF map update and delete helper call support from
the datapath, JITing of 32 and 64 bit XADD instructions as well as
offload support of bpf_get_prandom_u32() call. Initial implementation
of nfp packet cache has been tackled that optimizes memory access
(see merge commit for further details), from Jakub and Jiong.
5) Removal of struct bpf_verifier_env argument from the print_bpf_insn()
API has been done in order to prepare to use print_bpf_insn() soon
out of perf tool directly. This makes the print_bpf_insn() API more
generic and pushes the env into private data. bpftool is adjusted
as well with the print_bpf_insn() argument removal, from Jiri.
6) Couple of cleanups and prep work for the upcoming BTF (BPF Type
Format). The latter will reuse the current BPF verifier log as
well, thus bpf_verifier_log() is further generalized, from Martin.
7) For bpf_getsockopt() and bpf_setsockopt() helpers, IPv4 IP_TOS read
and write support has been added in similar fashion to existing
IPv6 IPV6_TCLASS socket option we already have, from Nikita.
8) Fixes in recent sockmap scatterlist API usage, which did not use
sg_init_table() for initialization thus triggering a BUG_ON() in
scatterlist API when CONFIG_DEBUG_SG was enabled. This adds and
uses a small helper sg_init_marker() to properly handle the affected
cases, from Prashant.
9) Let the BPF core follow IDR code convention and therefore use the
idr_preload() and idr_preload_end() helpers, which would also help
idr_alloc_cyclic() under GFP_ATOMIC to better succeed under memory
pressure, from Shaohua.
10) Last but not least, a spelling fix in an error message for the
BPF cookie UID helper under BPF sample code, from Colin.

For a rwsem, locking can either be exclusive or shared. The corresponding
exclusive or shared unlock must be used. Otherwise, the protected data
structures may get corrupted or the lock may be in an inconsistent state.
In order to detect such anomaly, a new configuration option DEBUG_RWSEMS
is added which can be enabled to look for such mismatches and print
warnings that that happens.

"Post-hooks" are hooks that are called right before returning from
sys_bind. At this time IP and port are already allocated and no further
changes to `struct sock` can happen before returning from sys_bind but
BPF program has a chance to inspect the socket and change sys_bind
result.
Specifically it can e.g. inspect what port was allocated and if it
doesn't satisfy some policy, BPF program can force sys_bind to fail and
return EPERM to user.
Another example of usage is recording the IP:port pair to some map to
use it in later calls to sys_connect. E.g. if some TCP server inside
cgroup was bound to some IP:port_n, it can be recorded to a map. And
later when some TCP client inside same cgroup is trying to connect to
127.0.0.1:port_n, BPF hook for sys_connect can override the destination
and connect application to IP:port_n instead of 127.0.0.1:port_n. That
helps forcing all applications inside a cgroup to use desired IP and not
break those applications if they e.g. use localhost to communicate
between each other.
== Implementation details ==
Post-hooks are implemented as two new attach types
`BPF_CGROUP_INET4_POST_BIND` and `BPF_CGROUP_INET6_POST_BIND` for
existing prog type `BPF_PROG_TYPE_CGROUP_SOCK`.
Separate attach types for IPv4 and IPv6 are introduced to avoid access
to IPv6 field in `struct sock` from `inet_bind()` and to IPv4 field from
`inet6_bind()` since those fields might not make sense in such cases.
