2017-11-02License cleanup: add SPDX GPL-2.0 license identifier to files with no licenseGreg Kroah-Hartman1-0/+1
Many source files in the tree are missing licensing information, which makes it harder for compliance tools to determine the correct license. By default all files without license information are under the default license of the kernel, which is GPL version 2. Update the files which contain no license information with the 'GPL-2.0' SPDX license identifier. The SPDX identifier is a legally binding shorthand, which can be used instead of the full boiler plate text. This patch is based on work done by Thomas Gleixner and Kate Stewart and Philippe Ombredanne. How this work was done: Patches were generated and checked against linux-4.14-rc6 for a subset of the use cases: - file had no licensing information it it. - file was a */uapi/* one with no licensing information in it, - file was a */uapi/* one with existing licensing information, Further patches will be generated in subsequent months to fix up cases where non-standard license headers were used, and references to license had to be inferred by heuristics based on keywords. The analysis to determine which SPDX License Identifier to be applied to a file was done in a spreadsheet of side by side results from of the output of two independent scanners (ScanCode & Windriver) producing SPDX tag:value files created by Philippe Ombredanne. Philippe prepared the base worksheet, and did an initial spot review of a few 1000 files. The 4.13 kernel was the starting point of the analysis with 60,537 files assessed. Kate Stewart did a file by file comparison of the scanner results in the spreadsheet to determine which SPDX license identifier(s) to be applied to the file. She confirmed any determination that was not immediately clear with lawyers working with the Linux Foundation. Criteria used to select files for SPDX license identifier tagging was: - Files considered eligible had to be source code files. - Make and config files were included as candidates if they contained >5 lines of source - File already had some variant of a license header in it (even if <5 lines). All documentation files were explicitly excluded. The following heuristics were used to determine which SPDX license identifiers to apply. - when both scanners couldn't find any license traces, file was considered to have no license information in it, and the top level COPYING file license applied. For non */uapi/* files that summary was: SPDX license identifier # files ---------------------------------------------------|------- GPL-2.0 11139 and resulted in the first patch in this series. If that file was a */uapi/* path one, it was "GPL-2.0 WITH Linux-syscall-note" otherwise it was "GPL-2.0". Results of that was: SPDX license identifier # files ---------------------------------------------------|------- GPL-2.0 WITH Linux-syscall-note 930 and resulted in the second patch in this series. - if a file had some form of licensing information in it, and was one of the */uapi/* ones, it was denoted with the Linux-syscall-note if any GPL family license was found in the file or had no licensing in it (per prior point). Results summary: SPDX license identifier # files ---------------------------------------------------|------ GPL-2.0 WITH Linux-syscall-note 270 GPL-2.0+ WITH Linux-syscall-note 169 ((GPL-2.0 WITH Linux-syscall-note) OR BSD-2-Clause) 21 ((GPL-2.0 WITH Linux-syscall-note) OR BSD-3-Clause) 17 LGPL-2.1+ WITH Linux-syscall-note 15 GPL-1.0+ WITH Linux-syscall-note 14 ((GPL-2.0+ WITH Linux-syscall-note) OR BSD-3-Clause) 5 LGPL-2.0+ WITH Linux-syscall-note 4 LGPL-2.1 WITH Linux-syscall-note 3 ((GPL-2.0 WITH Linux-syscall-note) OR MIT) 3 ((GPL-2.0 WITH Linux-syscall-note) AND MIT) 1 and that resulted in the third patch in this series. - when the two scanners agreed on the detected license(s), that became the concluded license(s). - when there was disagreement between the two scanners (one detected a license but the other didn't, or they both detected different licenses) a manual inspection of the file occurred. - In most cases a manual inspection of the information in the file resulted in a clear resolution of the license that should apply (and which scanner probably needed to revisit its heuristics). - When it was not immediately clear, the license identifier was confirmed with lawyers working with the Linux Foundation. - If there was any question as to the appropriate license identifier, the file was flagged for further research and to be revisited later in time. In total, over 70 hours of logged manual review was done on the spreadsheet to determine the SPDX license identifiers to apply to the source files by Kate, Philippe, Thomas and, in some cases, confirmation by lawyers working with the Linux Foundation. Kate also obtained a third independent scan of the 4.13 code base from FOSSology, and compared selected files where the other two scanners disagreed against that SPDX file, to see if there was new insights. The Windriver scanner is based on an older version of FOSSology in part, so they are related. Thomas did random spot checks in about 500 files from the spreadsheets for the uapi headers and agreed with SPDX license identifier in the files he inspected. For the non-uapi files Thomas did random spot checks in about 15000 files. In initial set of patches against 4.14-rc6, 3 files were found to have copy/paste license identifier errors, and have been fixed to reflect the correct identifier. Additionally Philippe spent 10 hours this week doing a detailed manual inspection and review of the 12,461 patched files from the initial patch version early this week with: - a full scancode scan run, collecting the matched texts, detected license ids and scores - reviewing anything where there was a license detected (about 500+ files) to ensure that the applied SPDX license was correct - reviewing anything where there was no detection but the patch license was not GPL-2.0 WITH Linux-syscall-note to ensure that the applied SPDX license was correct This produced a worksheet with 20 files needing minor correction. This worksheet was then exported into 3 different .csv files for the different types of files to be modified. These .csv files were then reviewed by Greg. Thomas wrote a script to parse the csv files and add the proper SPDX tag to the file, in the format that the file expected. This script was further refined by Greg based on the output to detect more types of files automatically and to distinguish between header and source .c files (which need different comment types.) Finally Greg ran the script using the .csv files to generate the patches.

Commit 553f770ef71b ("ipc: move compat shmctl to native") moved the compat IPC syscall handling into ipc/shm.c and refactored the struct accessors in the process. Unfortunately, the call to copy_compat_shmid_to_user when handling a compat {IPC,SHM}_STAT command gets the arguments the wrong way round, passing a kernel stack address as the user buffer (destination) and the user buffer as the kernel stack address (source). This patch fixes the parameter ordering so the buffers are accessed correctly.

2017-08-03ipc: add missing container_of()s for randstructKees Cook1-1/+3
When building with the randstruct gcc plugin, the layout of the IPC structs will be randomized, which requires any sub-structure accesses to use container_of(). The proc display handlers were missing the needed container_of()s since the iterator is passing in the top-level struct kern_ipc_perm.

2017-07-13ipc: merge ipc_rcu and kern_ipc_permManfred Spraul1-7/+11
ipc has two management structures that exist for every id: - struct kern_ipc_perm, it contains e.g. the permissions. - struct ipc_rcu, it contains the rcu head for rcu handling and the refcount. The patch merges both structures. As a bonus, we may save one cacheline, because both structures are cacheline aligned. In addition, it reduces the number of casts, instead most codepaths can use container_of. To simplify code, the ipc_rcu_alloc initializes the allocation to 0.

2017-02-28ipc/shm: Fix shmat mmap nil-page protectionDavidlohr Bueso1-4/+9
The issue is described here, with a nice testcase: https://bugzilla.kernel.org/show_bug.cgi?id=192931 The problem is that shmat() calls do_mmap_pgoff() with MAP_FIXED, and the address rounded down to 0. For the regular mmap case, the protection mentioned above is that the kernel gets to generate the address -- arch_get_unmapped_area() will always check for MAP_FIXED and return that address. So by the time we do security_mmap_addr(0) things get funky for shmat(). The testcase itself shows that while a regular user crashes, root will not have a problem attaching a nil-page. There are two possible fixes to this. The first, and which this patch does, is to simply allow root to crash as well -- this is also regular mmap behavior, ie when hacking up the testcase and adding mmap(... |MAP_FIXED). While this approach is the safer option, the second alternative is to ignore SHM_RND if the rounded address is 0, thus only having MAP_SHARED flags. This makes the behavior of shmat() identical to the mmap() case. The downside of this is obviously user visible, but does make sense in that it maintains semantics after the round-down wrt 0 address and mmap. Passes shm related ltp tests.

2017-02-25userfaultfd: non-cooperative: add event for memory unmapsMike Rapoport1-4/+4
When a non-cooperative userfaultfd monitor copies pages in the background, it may encounter regions that were already unmapped. Addition of UFFD_EVENT_UNMAP allows the uffd monitor to track precisely changes in the virtual memory layout. Since there might be different uffd contexts for the affected VMAs, we first should create a temporary representation for the unmap event for each uffd context and then notify them one by one to the appropriate userfault file descriptors. The event notification occurs after the mmap_sem has been released.

We are going to need to call shmem_charge() under tree_lock to get accoutning right on collapse of small tmpfs pages into a huge one. The problem is that tree_lock is irq-safe and lockdep is not happy, that we take irq-unsafe lock under irq-safe[1]. Let's convert the lock to irq-safe.

2016-07-27shmem: get_unmapped_area align huge pageHugh Dickins1-2/+4
Provide a shmem_get_unmapped_area method in file_operations, called at mmap time to decide the mapping address. It could be conditional on CONFIG_TRANSPARENT_HUGEPAGE, but save #ifdefs in other places by making it unconditional. shmem_get_unmapped_area() first calls the usual mm->get_unmapped_area (which we treat as a black box, highly dependent on architecture and config and executable layout). Lots of conditions, and in most cases it just goes with the address that chose; but when our huge stars are rightly aligned, yet that did not provide a suitable address, go back to ask for a larger arena, within which to align the mapping suitably. There have to be some direct calls to shmem_get_unmapped_area(), not via the file_operations: because of the way shmem_zero_setup() is called to create a shmem object late in the mmap sequence, when MAP_SHARED is requested with MAP_ANONYMOUS or /dev/zero. Though this only matters when /proc/sys/vm/shmem_huge has been set.

As reported by Dmitry Vyukov, we really shouldn't do ipc_addid() before having initialized the IPC object state. Yes, we initialize the IPC object in a locked state, but with all the lockless RCU lookup work, that IPC object lock no longer means that the state cannot be seen. We already did this for the IPC semaphore code (see commit e8577d1f0329: "ipc/sem.c: fully initialize sem_array before making it visible") but we clearly forgot about msg and shm.

2015-09-10ipc: convert invalid scenarios to use WARN_ONDavidlohr Bueso1-2/+2
Considering Linus' past rants about the (ab)use of BUG in the kernel, I took a look at how we deal with such calls in ipc. Given that any errors or corruption in ipc code are most likely contained within the set of processes participating in the broken mechanisms, there aren't really many strong fatal system failure scenarios that would require a BUG call. Also, if something is seriously wrong, ipc might not be the place for such a BUG either. 1. For example, recently, a customer hit one of these BUG_ONs in shm after failing shm_lock(). A busted ID imho does not merit a BUG_ON, and WARN would have been better. 2. MSG_COPY functionality of posix msgrcv(2) for checkpoint/restore. I don't see how we can hit this anyway -- at least it should be IS_ERR. The 'copy' arg from do_msgrcv is always set by calling prepare_copy() first and foremost. We could also probably drop this check altogether. Either way, it does not merit a BUG_ON. 3. No ->fault() callback for the fs getting the corresponding page -- seems selfish to make the system unusable.

2015-08-07ipc: use private shmem or hugetlbfs inodes for shm segments.Stephen Smalley1-1/+1
The shm implementation internally uses shmem or hugetlbfs inodes for shm segments.

This is a highly-contrived scenario. But, a single shmdt() call can be induced in to unmapping memory from mulitple shm segments. Example code is here: http://www.sr71.net/~dave/intel/shmfun.c The fix is pretty simple: Record the 'struct file' for the first VMA we encounter and then stick to it. Decline to unmap anything not from the same file and thus the same segment. I found this by inspection and the odds of anyone hitting this in practice are pretty darn small. Lightly tested, but it's a pretty small patch.

2014-10-14ipc/shm: kill the historical/wrong mm->start_stack checkOleg Nesterov1-7/+0
do_shmat() is the only user of ->start_stack (proc just reports its value), and this check looks ugly and wrong. The reason for this check is not clear at all, and it wrongly assumes that the stack can only grow down. But the main problem is that in general mm->start_stack has nothing to do with stack_vma->vm_start. Not only the application can switch to another stack and even unmap this area, setup_arg_pages() expands the stack without updating mm->start_stack during exec(). This means that in the likely case "addr > start_stack - size - PAGE_SIZE * 5" is simply impossible after find_vma_intersection() == F, or the stack can't grow anyway because of RLIMIT_STACK.

If shm_rmid_force (the default state) is not set then the shmids are only marked as orphaned and does not require any add, delete, or locking of the tree structure. Seperate the sysctl on and off case, and only obtain the read lock. The newly added list head can be deleted under the read lock because we are only called with current and will only change the semids allocated by this task and not manipulate the list.

2014-08-09shm: make exit_shm work proportional to task activityJack Miller1-11/+11
This is small set of patches our team has had kicking around for a few versions internally that fixes tasks getting hung on shm_exit when there are many threads hammering it at once. Anton wrote a simple test to cause the issue: http://ozlabs.org/~anton/junkcode/bust_shm_exit.c Before applying this patchset, this test code will cause either hanging tracebacks or pthread out of memory errors. After this patchset, it will still produce output like: root@somehost:~# ./bust_shm_exit 1024 160 ... INFO: rcu_sched detected stalls on CPUs/tasks: {} (detected by 116, t=2111 jiffies, g=241, c=240, q=7113) INFO: Stall ended before state dump start ... But the task will continue to run along happily, so we consider this an improvement over hanging, even if it's a bit noisy. This patch (of 3): exit_shm obtains the ipc_ns shm rwsem for write and holds it while it walks every shared memory segment in the namespace. Thus the amount of work is related to the number of shm segments in the namespace not the number of segments that might need to be cleaned. In addition, this occurs after the task has been notified the thread has exited, so the number of tasks waiting for the ns shm rwsem can grow without bound until memory is exausted. Add a list to the task struct of all shmids allocated by this task. Init the list head in copy_process. Use the ns->rwsem for locking. Add segments after id is added, remove before removing from id. On unshare of NEW_IPCNS orphan any ids as if the task had exited, similar to handling of semaphore undo. I chose a define for the init sequence since its a simple list init, otherwise it would require a function call to avoid include loops between the semaphore code and the task struct. Converting the list_del to list_del_init for the unshare cases would remove the exit followed by init, but I left it blow up if not inited.
