<content type='text'>
commit c307459b9d1fcb8bbf3ea5a4162979532322ef77 upstream.

FIRMWARE_PREALLOC_BUFFER is a "how", not a "what", and confuses the LSMs
that are interested in filtering between types of things. The "how"
should be an internal detail made uninteresting to the LSMs.

Fixes: a098ecd2fa7d ("firmware: support loading into a pre-allocated buffer")
Fixes: fd90bc559bfb ("ima: based on policy verify firmware signatures (pre-allocated buffer)")
Fixes: 4f0496d8ffa3 ("ima: based on policy warn about loading firmware (pre-allocated buffer)")

<content type='text'>
commit 06e67b849ab910a49a629445f43edb074153d0eb upstream.

The "FIRMWARE_EFI_EMBEDDED" enum is a "where", not a "what". It
should not be distinguished separately from just "FIRMWARE", as this
confuses the LSMs about what is being loaded. Additionally, there was
no actual validation of the firmware contents happening.

  Lastly, a bit of fallout from the async buffered reads, where we now
  more easily trigger short reads. Some applications don't really like
  that, so the io_read() code now handles short reads internally, and
  got a cleanup along the way so that it's now easier to read (and
  documented). We're now passing tests that failed before"

<title>hugetlbfs: remove call to huge_pte_alloc without i_mmap_rwsem</title>

<id>urn:sha1:34ae204f18519f0920bd50a644abd6fefc8dbfcf</id>
<content type='text'>
Commit c0d0381ade79 ("hugetlbfs: use i_mmap_rwsem for more pmd sharing
synchronization") requires callers of huge_pte_alloc to hold i_mmap_rwsem
in at least read mode.  This is because the explicit locking in
huge_pmd_share (called by huge_pte_alloc) was removed.  When restructuring
the code, the call to huge_pte_alloc in the else block at the beginning of
hugetlb_fault was missed.

Unfortunately, that else clause is exercised when there is no page table
entry.  This will likely lead to a call to huge_pmd_share.  If
huge_pmd_share thinks pmd sharing is possible, it will traverse the
mapping tree (i_mmap) without holding i_mmap_rwsem.  If someone else is
modifying the tree, bad things such as addressing exceptions or worse
could happen.

Simply remove the else clause.  It should have been removed previously.
The code following the else will call huge_pte_alloc with the appropriate
locking.

To prevent this type of issue in the future, add routines to assert that
i_mmap_rwsem is held, and call these routines in huge pmd sharing
routines.

<id>urn:sha1:efa8480a831673bb52400df9dbe5da0aacda97bf</id>
<content type='text'>
With the change allowing read-ahead for IOCB_NOWAIT, we changed the
RWF_NOWAIT semantics of only doing cached reads. Since we know have
IOCB_NOIO to manage that specific side of it, just make RWF_NOWAIT
imply IOCB_NOIO as well to restore the previous behavior.

<content type='text'>
The current split between do_mmap() and do_mmap_pgoff() was introduced in
commit 1fcfd8db7f82 ("mm, mpx: add "vm_flags_t vm_flags" arg to
do_mmap_pgoff()") to support MPX.

The wrapper function do_mmap_pgoff() always passed 0 as the value of the
vm_flags argument to do_mmap().  However, MPX support has subsequently
been removed from the kernel and there were no more direct callers of
do_mmap(); all calls were going via do_mmap_pgoff().

Simplify the code by removing do_mmap_pgoff() and changing all callers to
directly call do_mmap(), which now no longer takes a vm_flags argument.
