David S. Miller 63679112c5 net: Zero terminate ifr_name in dev_ifname().
The ifr.ifr_name is passed around and assumed to be NULL terminated.

Levin, Alexander 98de4e0ea4 wireless: wext: terminate ifr name coming from userspace
ifr name is assumed to be a valid string by the kernel, but nothing
was forcing username to pass a valid string.

In turn, this would cause panics as we tried to access the string
past it's valid memory.

Johannes Berg 68dd02d19c dev_ioctl: copy only the smaller struct iwreq for wext
Unfortunately, struct iwreq isn't a proper subset of struct ifreq,
but is still handled by the same code path. Robert reported that
then applications may (randomly) fault if the struct iwreq they
pass happens to land within 8 bytes of the end of a mapping (the
struct is only 32 bytes, vs. struct ifreq's 40 bytes).

To fix this, pull out the code handling wireless extension ioctls
and copy only the smaller structure in this case.

This bug goes back a long time, I tracked that it was introduced
into mainline in 2.1.15, over 20 years ago!

This fixes https://bugzilla.kernel.org/show_bug.cgi?id=195869

Miroslav Lichvar e341257548 net: ethernet: update drivers to handle HWTSTAMP_FILTER_NTP_ALL
Include HWTSTAMP_FILTER_NTP_ALL in net_hwtstamp_validate() as a valid
filter and update drivers which can timestamp all packets, or which
explicitly list unsupported filters instead of using a default case, to
handle the filter.

Miroslav Lichvar b8210a9e4b net: define receive timestamp filter for NTP
Add HWTSTAMP_FILTER_NTP_ALL to the hwtstamp_rx_filters enum for
timestamping of NTP packets. There is currently only one driver
(phyter) that could support it directly.

Daniel Borkmann e020836d95 dev_ioctl: remove dev_load() CAP_SYS_MODULE message
Marcel reported to see the following message when autoloading
is being triggered when adding nlmon device:

  Loading kernel module for a network device with
  CAP_SYS_MODULE (deprecated). Use CAP_NET_ADMIN and alias
  netdev-nlmon instead.

This false-positive happens despite with having correct
capabilities set, e.g. through issuing `ip link del dev nlmon`
more than once on a valid device with name nlmon, but Marcel
has also seen it on creation time when no nlmon module is
previously compiled-in or loaded as module and the device
name equals a link type name (e.g. nlmon, vxlan, team).

Stephen says:

  The netdev module alias is a hold over from the past. For
  normal devices, people used to create a alias eth0 to and
  point it to the type of network device used, that was back
  in the bad old ISA days before real discovery.

  Also, the tunnels create module alias for the control device
  and ip used to use this to autoload the tunnel device.

  The message is bogus and should just be removed, I also see
  it in a couple of other cases where tap devices are renamed
  for other usese.

As mentioned in 8909c9ad8f ("net: don't allow CAP_NET_ADMIN
to load non-netdev kernel modules"), we nevertheless still
might want to leave the old autoloading behaviour in place
as it could break old scripts, so for now, lets just remove
the log message as Stephen suggests.

Ben Hutchings fd468c74bd net_tstamp: Add SIOCGHWTSTAMP ioctl to match SIOCSHWTSTAMP
SIOCSHWTSTAMP returns the real configuration to the application
using it, but there is currently no way for any other
application to find out the configuration non-destructively.
Add a new ioctl for this, making it unprivileged.

Nicolas Schichan 5dbe7c178d net: fix kernel deadlock with interface rename and netdev name retrieval.
When the kernel (compiled with CONFIG_PREEMPT=n) is performing the
rename of a network interface, it can end up waiting for a workqueue
to complete. If userland is able to invoke a SIOCGIFNAME ioctl or a
SO_BINDTODEVICE getsockopt in between, the kernel will deadlock due to
the fact that read_secklock_begin() will spin forever waiting for the
writer process (the one doing the interface rename) to update the
devnet_rename_seq sequence.

This patch fixes the problem by adding a helper (netdev_get_name())
and using it in the code handling the SIOCGIFNAME ioctl and
SO_BINDTODEVICE setsockopt.

The netdev_get_name() helper uses raw_seqcount_begin() to avoid
spinning forever, waiting for devnet_rename_seq->sequence to become
even. cond_resched() is used in the contended case, before retrying
the access to give the writer process a chance to finish.

The use of raw_seqcount_begin() will incur some unneeded work in the
reader process in the contended case, but this is better than
deadlocking the system.
