kernel/watchdog: split up config options
Split SOFTLOCKUP_DETECTOR from LOCKUP_DETECTOR, and split HARDLOCKUP_DETECTOR_PERF from HARDLOCKUP_DETECTOR. LOCKUP_DETECTOR implies the general boot, sysctl, and programming interfaces for the lockup detectors. An architecture that wants to use a hard lockup detector must define HAVE_HARDLOCKUP_DETECTOR_PERF or HAVE_HARDLOCKUP_DETECTOR_ARCH. Alternatively an arch can define HAVE_NMI_WATCHDOG, which provides the minimum arch_touch_nmi_watchdog, and it otherwise does its own thing and does not implement the LOCKUP_DETECTOR interfaces. sparc is unusual in that it has started to implement some of the interfaces, but not fully yet. It should probably be converted to a full HAVE_HARDLOCKUP_DETECTOR_ARCH.

sysctl: add unsigned int range support
To keep parity with regular int interfaces provide the an unsigned int proc_douintvec_minmax() which allows you to specify a range of allowed valid numbers. Adding proc_douintvec_minmax_sysadmin() is easy but we can wait for an actual user for that. Link: http://lkml.kernel.org/r/20170519033554.18592-6-mcgrof@kernel.org Signed-off-by: Luis R.

proc/sysctl: fix the int overflow for jiffies conversion
do_proc_dointvec_jiffies_conv() uses LONG_MAX/HZ as the max value to avoid overflow. But actually the *valp is int type, so it still causes overflow. For example, echo 2147483647 > ./sys/net/ipv4/tcp_keepalive_time Then, cat ./sys/net/ipv4/tcp_keepalive_time The output is "-1", it is not expected. Now use INT_MAX/HZ as the max value instead LONG_MAX/HZ to fix it.

sysctl: report EINVAL if value is larger than UINT_MAX for proc_douintvec
Currently, inputting the following command will succeed but actually the
value will be truncated:
# echo 0x12ffffffff > /proc/sys/net/ipv4/tcp_notsent_lowat
This is not friendly to the user, so instead, we should report error
when the value is larger than UINT_MAX.

sysctl: don't print negative flag for proc_douintvec
I saw some very confusing sysctl output on my system:
# cat /proc/sys/net/core/xfrm_aevent_rseqth
-2
# cat /proc/sys/net/core/xfrm_aevent_etime
-10
# cat /proc/sys/net/ipv4/tcp_notsent_lowat
-4294967295
Because we forget to set the *negp flag in proc_douintvec, so it will
become a garbage value.
Since the value related to proc_douintvec is always an unsigned integer,
so we can set *negp to false explictily to fix this issue.

coredump: clarify "unsafe core_pattern" warning
I was amused to find "unsafe core_pattern" warning having these lines in /etc/sysctl.conf: fs.suid_dumpable=2 kernel.core_pattern=/core/core-%e-%p-%E kernel.core_uses_pid=0 Turns out kernel is formally right. Default core_pattern is just "core", which doesn't qualify for secure path while setting suid.dumpable. Hint admins about solution, clarify sysctl names, delete unnecessary '\' characters (string literals are concatenated regardless) and reformat for easier grepping.

tracing: Make tracepoint_printk a static_key
Currently, when tracepoint_printk is set (enabled by the "tp_printk" kernel command line), it causes trace events to print via printk(). This is a very dangerous operation, but is useful for debugging. The issue is, it's seldom used, but it is always checked even if it's not enabled by the kernel command line. Instead of having this feature called by a branch against a variable, turn that variable into a static key, and this will remove the test and jump. To simplify things, the functions output_printk() and trace_event_buffer_commit() were moved from trace_events.c to trace.c. Signed-off-by: Steven Rostedt <rostedt@goodmis.org> |

x86/dumpstack: Remove raw stack dump
For mostly historical reasons, the x86 oops dump shows the raw stack values: ... [registers] Stack: ffff880079af7350 ffff880079905400 0000000000000000 ffffc900008f3ae0 ffffffffa0196610 0000000000000001 00010000ffffffff 0000000087654321 0000000000000002 0000000000000000 0000000000000000 0000000000000000 Call Trace: ... This seems to be an artifact from long ago, and probably isn't needed anymore. It generally just adds noise to the dump, and it can be actively harmful because it leaks kernel addresses. Linus says: "The stack dump actually goes back to forever, and it used to be useful back in 1992 or so. But it used to be useful mainly because stacks were simpler and we didn't have very good call traces anyway. I definitely remember having used them - I just do not remember having used them in the last ten+ years. Of course, it's still true that if you can trigger an oops, you've likely already lost the security game, but since the stack dump is so useless, let's aim to just remove it and make games like the above harder." This also removes the related 'kstack=' cmdline option and the 'kstack_depth_to_print' sysctl.

Pull namespace updates from Eric Biederman: "This set of changes is a number of smaller things that have been overlooked in other development cycles focused on more fundamental change. The devpts changes are small things that were a distraction until we managed to kill off DEVPTS_MULTPLE_INSTANCES. There is an trivial regression fix to autofs for the unprivileged mount changes that went in last cycle. A pair of ioctls has been added by Andrey Vagin making it is possible to discover the relationships between namespaces when referring to them through file descriptors. The big user visible change is starting to add simple resource limits to catch programs that misbehave. With namespaces in general and user namespaces in particular allowing users to use more kinds of resources, it has become important to have something to limit errant programs. Because the purpose of these limits is to catch errant programs the code needs to be inexpensive to use as it always on, and the default limits need to be high enough that well behaved programs on well behaved systems don't encounter them. To this end, after some review I have implemented per user per user namespace limits, and use them to limit the number of namespaces. The limits being per user mean that one user can not exhause the limits of another user. The limits being per user namespace allow contexts where the limit is 0 and security conscious folks can remove from their threat anlysis the code used to manage namespaces (as they have historically done as it root only). At the same time the limits being per user namespace allow other parts of the system to use namespaces. Namespaces are increasingly being used in application sand boxing scenarios so an all or nothing disable for the entire system for the security conscious folks makes increasing use of these sandboxes impossible. There is also added a limit on the maximum number of mounts present in a single mount namespace. It is nontrivial to guess what a reasonable system wide limit on the number of mount structure in the kernel would be, especially as it various based on how a system is using containers. A limit on the number of mounts in a mount namespace however is much easier to understand and set. In most cases in practice only about 1000 mounts are used. Given that some autofs scenarious have the potential to be 30,000 to 50,000 mounts I have set the default limit for the number of mounts at 100,000 which is well above every known set of users but low enough that the mount hash tables don't degrade unreaonsably. These limits are a start. I expect this estabilishes a pattern that other limits for resources that namespaces use will follow. There has been interest in making inotify event limits per user per user namespace as well as interest expressed in making details about what is going on in the kernel more visible" * 'for-linus' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/ebiederm/user-namespace: (28 commits) autofs: Fix automounts by using current_real_cred()->uid mnt: Add a per mount namespace limit on the number of mounts netns: move {inc,dec}_net_namespaces into #ifdef nsfs: Simplify __ns_get_path tools/testing: add a test to check nsfs ioctl-s nsfs: add ioctl to get a parent namespace nsfs: add ioctl to get an owning user namespace for ns file descriptor kernel: add a helper to get an owning user namespace for a namespace devpts: Change the owner of /dev/pts/ptmx to the mounter of /dev/pts devpts: Remove sync_filesystems devpts: Make devpts_kill_sb safe if fsi is NULL devpts: Simplify devpts_mount by using mount_nodev devpts: Move the creation of /dev/pts/ptmx into fill_super devpts: Move parse_mount_options into fill_super userns: When the per user per user namespace limit is reached return ENOSPC userns; Document per user per user namespace limits. mntns: Add a limit on the number of mount namespaces. netns: Add a limit on the number of net namespaces cgroupns: Add a limit on the number of cgroup namespaces ipcns: Add a limit on the number of ipc namespaces ... |

mnt: Add a per mount namespace limit on the number of mounts
CAI Qian <caiqian@redhat.com> pointed out that the semantics of shared subtrees make it possible to create an exponentially increasing number of mounts in a mount namespace. mkdir /tmp/1 /tmp/2 mount --make-rshared / for i in $(seq 1 20) ; do mount --bind /tmp/1 /tmp/2 ; done Will create create 2^20 or 1048576 mounts, which is a practical problem as some people have managed to hit this by accident. As such CVE-2016-6213 was assigned. Ian Kent <raven@themaw.net> described the situation for autofs users as follows: > The number of mounts for direct mount maps is usually not very large because of > the way they are implemented, large direct mount maps can have performance > problems. There can be anywhere from a few (likely case a few hundred) to less > than 10000, plus mounts that have been triggered and not yet expired. > > Indirect mounts have one autofs mount at the root plus the number of mounts that > have been triggered and not yet expired. > > The number of autofs indirect map entries can range from a few to the common > case of several thousand and in rare cases up to between 30000 and 50000. I've > not heard of people with maps larger than 50000 entries. > > The larger the number of map entries the greater the possibility for a large > number of active mounts so it's not hard to expect cases of a 1000 or somewhat > more active mounts. So I am setting the default number of mounts allowed per mount namespace at 100,000. This is more than enough for any use case I know of, but small enough to quickly stop an exponential increase in mounts. Which should be perfect to catch misconfigurations and malfunctioning programs. For anyone who needs a higher limit this can be changed by writing to the new /proc/sys/fs/mount-max sysctl.

printk: add kernel parameter to control writes to /dev/kmsg
Add a "printk.devkmsg" kernel command line parameter which controls how userspace writes into /dev/kmsg. It has three options: * ratelimit - ratelimit logging from userspace. * on - unlimited logging from userspace * off - logging from userspace gets ignored The default setting is to ratelimit the messages written to it. This changes the kernel default setting of "on" to "ratelimit" and we do that because we want to keep userspace spamming /dev/kmsg to sane levels. This is especially moot when a small kernel log buffer wraps around and messages get lost. So the ratelimiting setting should be a sane setting where kernel messages should have a bit higher chance of survival from all the spamming. It additionally does not limit logging to /dev/kmsg while the system is booting if we haven't disabled it on the command line. Furthermore, we can control the logging from a lower priority sysctl interface - kernel.printk_devkmsg. That interface will succeed only if printk.devkmsg *hasn't* been supplied on the command line. If it has, then printk.devkmsg is a one-time setting which remains for the duration of the system lifetime. This "locking" of the setting is to prevent userspace from changing the logging on us through sysctl(2). This patch is based on previous patches from Linus and Steven.

mm: convert zone_reclaim to node_reclaim
As reclaim is now per-node based, convert zone_reclaim to be node_reclaim. It is possible that a node will be reclaimed multiple times if it has multiple zones but this is unavoidable without caching all nodes traversed so far. The documentation and interface to userspace is the same from a configuration perspective and will will be similar in behaviour unless the node-local allocation requests were also limited to lower zones.

rcu: sysctl: Panic on RCU Stall
It is not always easy to determine the cause of an RCU stall just by analysing the RCU stall messages, mainly when the problem is caused by the indirect starvation of rcu threads. For example, when preempt_rcu is not awakened due to the starvation of a timer softirq. We have been hard coding panic() in the RCU stall functions for some time while testing the kernel-rt. But this is not possible in some scenarios, like when supporting customers. This patch implements the sysctl kernel.panic_on_rcu_stall. If set to 1, the system will panic() when an RCU stall takes place, enabling the capture of a vmcore. The vmcore provides a way to analyze all kernel/tasks states, helping out to point to the culprit and the solution for the stall. The kernel.panic_on_rcu_stall sysctl is disabled by default. Changes from v1: - Fixed a typo in the git log - The if(sysctl_panic_on_rcu_stall) panic() is in a static function - Fixed the CONFIG_TINY_RCU compilation issue - The var sysctl_panic_on_rcu_stall is now __read_mostly Cc: Jonathan Corbet <corbet@lwn.net> Cc: "Paul E.

mm: /proc/sys/vm/stat_refresh to force vmstat update
Provide /proc/sys/vm/stat_refresh to force an immediate update of per-cpu into global vmstats: useful to avoid a sleep(2) or whatever before checking counts when testing. Originally added to work around a bug which left counts stranded indefinitely on a cpu going idle (an inaccuracy magnified when small below-batch numbers represent "huge" amounts of memory), but I believe that bug is now fixed: nonetheless, this is still a useful knob. Its schedule_on_each_cpu() is probably too expensive just to fold into reading /proc/meminfo itself: give this mode 0600 to prevent abuse. Allow a write or a read to do the same: nothing to read, but "grep -h Shmem /proc/sys/vm/stat_refresh /proc/meminfo" is convenient. Oh, and since global_page_state() itself is careful to disguise any underflow as 0, hack in an "Invalid argument" and pr_warn() if a counter is negative after the refresh - this helped to fix a misaccounting of NR_ISOLATED_FILE in my migration code. But on recent kernels, I find that NR_ALLOC_BATCH and NR_PAGES_SCANNED often go negative some of the time. I have not yet worked out why, but have no evidence that it's actually harmful.

perf core: Separate accounting of contexts and real addresses in a stack trace

So allocate a bunch of extra entries for contexts, and do the accounting via perf_callchain_entry_ctx struct members.

perf core: Allow setting up max frame stack depth via sysctl
The default remains 127, which is good for most cases, and not even hit most of the time, but then for some cases, as reported by Brendan, 1024+ deep frames are appearing on the radar for things like groovy, ruby. And in some workloads putting a _lower_ cap on this may make sense. One that is per event still needs to be put in place tho. The new file is: # cat /proc/sys/kernel/perf_event_max_stack 127 Chaging it: # echo 256 > /proc/sys/kernel/perf_event_max_stack # cat /proc/sys/kernel/perf_event_max_stack 256 But as soon as there is some event using callchains we get: # echo 512 > /proc/sys/kernel/perf_event_max_stack -bash: echo: write error: Device or resource busy # Because we only allocate the callchain percpu data structures when there is a user, which allows for changing the max easily, its just a matter of having no callchain users at that point.

mm: scale kswapd watermarks in proportion to memory
In machines with 140G of memory and enterprise flash storage, we have seen read and write bursts routinely exceed the kswapd watermarks and cause thundering herds in direct reclaim. Unfortunately, the only way to tune kswapd aggressiveness is through adjusting min_free_kbytes - the system's emergency reserves - which is entirely unrelated to the system's latency requirements. In order to get kswapd to maintain a 250M buffer of free memory, the emergency reserves need to be set to 1G. That is a lot of memory wasted for no good reason. On the other hand, it's reasonable to assume that allocation bursts and overall allocation concurrency scale with memory capacity, so it makes sense to make kswapd aggressiveness a function of that as well. Change the kswapd watermark scale factor from the currently fixed 25% of the tunable emergency reserve to a tunable 0.1% of memory. Beyond 1G of memory, this will produce bigger watermark steps than the current formula in default settings. Ensure that the new formula never chooses steps smaller than that, i.e. 25% of the emergency reserve. On a 140G machine, this raises the default watermark steps - the distance between min and low, and low and high - from 16M to 143M.

sched/debug: Make schedstats a runtime tunable that is disabled by default
schedstats is very useful during debugging and performance tuning but it incurs overhead to calculate the stats. As such, even though it can be disabled at build time, it is often enabled as the information is useful. This patch adds a kernel command-line and sysctl tunable to enable or disable schedstats on demand (when it's built in). It is disabled by default as someone who knows they need it can also learn to enable it when necessary. The benefits are dependent on how scheduler-intensive the workload is. If it is then the patch reduces the number of cycles spent calculating the stats with a small benefit from reducing the cache footprint of the scheduler.

The gain is small but it stands to reason that doing less work in the scheduler is a good thing. The downside is that the lack of schedstats and tracepoints may be surprising to experts doing performance analysis until they find the existence of the schedstats= parameter or schedstats sysctl. It will be automatically activated for latencytop and sleep profiling to alleviate the problem. For tracepoints, there is a simple warning as it's not safe to activate schedstats in the context when it's known the tracepoint may be wanted but is unavailable.

pipe: limit the per-user amount of pages allocated in pipes
On no-so-small systems, it is possible for a single process to cause an OOM condition by filling large pipes with data that are never read. A typical process filling 4000 pipes with 1 MB of data will use 4 GB of memory. On small systems it may be tricky to set the pipe max size to prevent this from happening. This patch makes it possible to enforce a per-user soft limit above which new pipes will be limited to a single page, effectively limiting them to 4 kB each, as well as a hard limit above which no new pipes may be created for this user. This has the effect of protecting the system against memory abuse without hurting other users, and still allowing pipes to work correctly though with less data at once. The limit are controlled by two new sysctls : pipe-user-pages-soft, and pipe-user-pages-hard. Both may be disabled by setting them to zero. The default soft limit allows the default number of FDs per process (1024) to create pipes of the default size (64kB), thus reaching a limit of 64MB before starting to create only smaller pipes. With 256 processes limited to 1024 FDs each, this results in 1024*64kB + (256*1024 - 1024) * 4kB = 1084 MB of memory allocated for a user. The hard limit is disabled by default to avoid breaking existing applications that make intensive use of pipes (eg: for splicing).

mm: mmap: add new /proc tunable for mmap_base ASLR
Address Space Layout Randomization (ASLR) provides a barrier to exploitation of user-space processes in the presence of security vulnerabilities by making it more difficult to find desired code/data which could help an attack. This is done by adding a random offset to the location of regions in the process address space, with a greater range of potential offset values corresponding to better protection/a larger search-space for brute force, but also to greater potential for fragmentation. The offset added to the mmap_base address, which provides the basis for the majority of the mappings for a process, is set once on process exec in arch_pick_mmap_layout() and is done via hard-coded per-arch values, which reflect, hopefully, the best compromise for all systems. The trade-off between increased entropy in the offset value generation and the corresponding increased variability in address space fragmentation is not absolute, however, and some platforms may tolerate higher amounts of entropy. This patch introduces both new Kconfig values and a sysctl interface which may be used to change the amount of entropy used for offset generation on a system. The direct motivation for this change was in response to the libstagefright vulnerabilities that affected Android, specifically to information provided by Google's project zero at: http://googleprojectzero.blogspot.com/2015/09/stagefrightened.html The attack presented therein, by Google's project zero, specifically targeted the limited randomness used to generate the offset added to the mmap_base address in order to craft a brute-force-based attack. Concretely, the attack was against the mediaserver process, which was limited to respawning every 5 seconds, on an arm device. The hard-coded 8 bits used resulted in an average expected success rate of defeating the mmap ASLR after just over 10 minutes (128 tries at 5 seconds a piece). With this patch, and an accompanying increase in the entropy value to 16 bits, the same attack would take an average expected time of over 45 hours (32768 tries), which makes it both less feasible and more likely to be noticed. The introduced Kconfig and sysctl options are limited by per-arch minimum and maximum values, the minimum of which was chosen to match the current hard-coded value and the maximum of which was chosen so as to give the greatest flexibility without generating an invalid mmap_base address, generally a 3-4 bits less than the number of bits in the user-space accessible virtual address space. When decided whether or not to change the default value, a system developer should consider that mmap_base address could be placed anywhere up to 2^(value) bits away from the non-randomized location, which would introduce variable-sized areas above and below the mmap_base address such that the maximum vm_area_struct size may be reduced, preventing very large allocations. This patch (of 4): ASLR only uses as few as 8 bits to generate the random offset for the mmap base address on 32 bit architectures. This value was chosen to prevent a poorly chosen value from dividing the address space in such a way as to prevent large allocations. This may not be an issue on all platforms. Allow the specification of a minimum number of bits so that platforms desiring greater ASLR protection may determine where to place the trade-off.

kernel/watchdog.c: perform all-CPU backtrace in case of hard lockup
In many cases of hardlockup reports, it's actually not possible to know why it triggered, because the CPU that got stuck is usually waiting on a resource (with IRQs disabled) in posession of some other CPU is holding. IOW, we are often looking at the stacktrace of the victim and not the actual offender. Introduce sysctl / cmdline parameter that makes it possible to have hardlockup detector perform all-CPU backtrace.

bpf: enable non-root eBPF programs
In order to let unprivileged users load and execute eBPF programs teach verifier to prevent pointer leaks. Verifier will prevent - any arithmetic on pointers (except R10+Imm which is used to compute stack addresses) - comparison of pointers (except if (map_value_ptr == 0) ... ) - passing pointers to helper functions - indirectly passing pointers in stack to helper functions - returning pointer from bpf program - storing pointers into ctx or maps Spill/fill of pointers into stack is allowed, but mangling of pointers stored in the stack or reading them byte by byte is not. Within bpf programs the pointers do exist, since programs need to be able to access maps, pass skb pointer to LD_ABS insns, etc but programs cannot pass such pointer values to the outside or obfuscate them. Only allow BPF_PROG_TYPE_SOCKET_FILTER unprivileged programs, so that socket filters (tcpdump), af_packet (quic acceleration) and future kcm can use it. tracing and tc cls/act program types still require root permissions, since tracing actually needs to be able to see all kernel pointers and tc is for root only. For example, the following unprivileged socket filter program is allowed: int bpf_prog1(struct __sk_buff *skb) { u32 index = load_byte(skb, ETH_HLEN + offsetof(struct iphdr, protocol)); u64 *value = bpf_map_lookup_elem(&my_map, &index); if (value) *value += skb->len; return 0; } but the following program is not: int bpf_prog1(struct __sk_buff *skb) { u32 index = load_byte(skb, ETH_HLEN + offsetof(struct iphdr, protocol)); u64 *value = bpf_map_lookup_elem(&my_map, &index); if (value) *value += (u64) skb; return 0; } since it would leak the kernel address into the map. Unprivileged socket filter bpf programs have access to the following helper functions: - map lookup/update/delete (but they cannot store kernel pointers into them) - get_random (it's already exposed to unprivileged user space) - get_smp_processor_id - tail_call into another socket filter program - ktime_get_ns The feature is controlled by sysctl kernel.unprivileged_bpf_disabled. This toggle defaults to off (0), but can be set true (1). Once true, bpf programs and maps cannot be accessed from unprivileged process, and the toggle cannot be set back to false.

kexec: split kexec_load syscall from kexec core code
There are two kexec load syscalls, kexec_load another and kexec_file_load. kexec_file_load has been splited as kernel/kexec_file.c. In this patch I split kexec_load syscall code to kernel/kexec.c. And add a new kconfig option KEXEC_CORE, so we can disable kexec_load and use kexec_file_load only, or vice verse. The original requirement is from Ted Ts'o, he want kexec kernel signature being checked with CONFIG_KEXEC_VERIFY_SIG enabled. But kexec-tools use kexec_load syscall can bypass the checking. Vivek Goyal proposed to create a common kconfig option so user can compile in only one syscall for loading kexec kernel. KEXEC/KEXEC_FILE selects KEXEC_CORE so that old config files still work. Because there's general code need CONFIG_KEXEC_CORE, so I updated all the architecture Kconfig with a new option KEXEC_CORE, and let KEXEC selects KEXEC_CORE in arch Kconfig. Also updated general kernel code with to kexec_load syscall. [akpm@linux-foundation.org: coding-style fixes] Signed-off-by: Dave Young <dyoung@redhat.com> Cc: Eric W.

Merge branch 'for-linus' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/ebiederm/user-namespace
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" * 'for-linus' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/ebiederm/user-namespace: vfs: Remove incorrect debugging WARN in prepend_path mnt: Update fs_fully_visible to test for permanently empty directories sysfs: Create mountpoints with sysfs_create_mount_point sysfs: Add support for permanently empty directories to serve as mount points. kernfs: Add support for always empty directories. proc: Allow creating permanently empty directories that serve as mount points sysctl: Allow creating permanently empty directories that serve as mountpoints. fs: Add helper functions for permanently empty directories. vfs: Ignore unlocked mounts in fs_fully_visible mnt: Modify fs_fully_visible to deal with locked ro nodev and atime mnt: Refactor the logic for mounting sysfs and proc in a user namespace |

watchdog: add watchdog_cpumask sysctl to assist nohz
Change the default behavior of watchdog so it only runs on the housekeeping cores when nohz_full is enabled at build and boot time. Allow modifying the set of cores the watchdog is currently running on with a new kernel.watchdog_cpumask sysctl. In the current system, the watchdog subsystem runs a periodic timer that schedules the watchdog kthread to run. However, nohz_full cores are designed to allow userspace application code running on those cores to have 100% access to the CPU. So the watchdog system prevents the nohz_full application code from being able to run the way it wants to, thus the motivation to suppress the watchdog on nohz_full cores, which this patchset provides by default. However, if we disable the watchdog globally, then the housekeeping cores can't benefit from the watchdog functionality. So we allow disabling it only on some cores.

timer: Reduce timer migration overhead if disabled
Eric reported that the timer_migration sysctl is not really nice performance wise as it needs to check at every timer insertion whether the feature is enabled or not. Further the check does not live in the timer code, so we have an extra function call which checks an extra cache line to figure out that it is disabled. We can do better and store that information in the per cpu (hr)timer bases. I pondered to use a static key, but that's a nightmare to update from the nohz code and the timer base cache line is hot anyway when we select a timer base. The old logic enabled the timer migration unconditionally if CONFIG_NO_HZ was set even if nohz was disabled on the kernel command line. With this modification, we start off with migration disabled. The user visible sysctl is still set to enabled. If the kernel switches to NOHZ migration is enabled, if the user did not disable it via the sysctl prior to the switch. If nohz=off is on the kernel command line, migration stays disabled no matter what.
