commit daddef76c3deaaa7922f9d7b18edbf0a061215c3 upstream.

The implementation of net_dbg_ratelimited in the CONFIG_DYNAMIC_DEBUG
case was added with 2c94b5373 ("net: Implement net_dbg_ratelimited() for
CONFIG_DYNAMIC_DEBUG case"). The implementation strategy was to take the
usual definition of the dynamic_pr_debug macro, but alter it by adding a
call to "net_ratelimit()" in the if statement. This is, in fact, the
correct approach.

However, while doing this, the author of the commit forgot to surround
fmt by pr_fmt, resulting in unprefixed log messages appearing in the
console. So, this commit adds back the pr_fmt(fmt) invocation, making
net_dbg_ratelimited properly consistent across DEBUG, no DEBUG, and
DYNAMIC_DEBUG cases, and bringing parity with the behavior of
dynamic_pr_debug as well.

commit 2c94b53738549d81dc7464a32117d1f5112c64d3 upstream.

Prior to commit d92cff89a0c8 ("net_dbg_ratelimited: turn into no-op
when !DEBUG") the implementation of net_dbg_ratelimited() was buggy
for both the DEBUG and CONFIG_DYNAMIC_DEBUG cases.

The bug was that net_ratelimit() was being called and, despite
returning true, nothing was being printed to the console. This
resulted in messages like the following -

"net_ratelimit: %d callbacks suppressed"

with no other output nearby.

After commit d92cff89a0c8 ("net_dbg_ratelimited: turn into no-op when
!DEBUG") the bug is fixed for the DEBUG case. However, there's no
output at all for CONFIG_DYNAMIC_DEBUG case.

This patch restores debug output (if enabled) for the
CONFIG_DYNAMIC_DEBUG case.

Add a definition of net_dbg_ratelimited() for the CONFIG_DYNAMIC_DEBUG
case. The implementation takes care to check that dynamic debugging is
enabled before calling net_ratelimit().

commit d92cff89a0c80e7e49796366e441d97f07b5d321 upstream.

The pr_debug family of functions turns into a no-op when -DDEBUG is not
specified, opting instead to call "no_printk", which gets compiled to a
no-op (but retains gcc's nice warnings about printf-style arguments).

The problem with net_dbg_ratelimited is that it is defined to be a
variant of net_ratelimited_function, which expands to essentially:

    if (net_ratelimit())
        pr_debug(fmt, ...);

When DEBUG is not defined, then this becomes,

    if (net_ratelimit())
        ;

This seems benign, except it isn't. Firstly, there's the obvious
overhead of calling net_ratelimit needlessly, which does quite some book
keeping for the rate limiting. Given that the pr_debug and
net_dbg_ratelimited family of functions are sprinkled liberally through
performance critical code, with developers assuming they'll be compiled
out to a no-op most of the time, we certainly do not want this needless
book keeping. Secondly, and most visibly, even though no debug message
is printed when DEBUG is not defined, if there is a flood of
invocations, dmesg winds up peppered with messages such as
"net_ratelimit: 320 callbacks suppressed". This is because our
aforementioned net_ratelimit() function actually prints this text in
some circumstances. It's especially odd to see this when there isn't any
other accompanying debug message.

So, in sum, it doesn't make sense to have this function's current
behavior, and instead it should match what every other debug family of
functions in the kernel does with !DEBUG -- nothing.

This patch replaces calls to net_dbg_ratelimited when !DEBUG with
no_printk, keeping with the idiom of all the other debug print helpers.

Also, though not strictly neccessary, it guards the call with an if (0)
so that all evaluation of any arguments are sure to be compiled out.

<title>net: avoid dependency of net_get_random_once on nop patching</title>

net_get_random_once depends on the static keys infrastructure to patch up
the branch to the slow path during boot. This was realized by abusing the
static keys api and defining a new initializer to not enable the call
site while still indicating that the branch point should get patched
up. This was needed to have the fast path considered likely by gcc.

The static key initialization during boot up normally walks through all
the registered keys and either patches in ideal nops or enables the jump
site but omitted that step on x86 if ideal nops where already placed at
static_key branch points. Thus net_get_random_once branches not always
became active.

This patch switches net_get_random_once to the ordinary static_key
api and thus places the kernel fast path in the - by gcc considered -
unlikely path.  Microbenchmarks on Intel and AMD x86-64 showed that
the unlikely path actually beats the likely path in terms of cycle cost
and that different nop patterns did not make much difference, thus this
switch should not be noticeable.

This patch removes the net_random and net_srandom macros and replaces
them with direct calls to the prandom ones. As new commits only seem to
use prandom_u32 there is no use to keep them around.
This change makes it easier to grep for users of prandom_u32.

unix_dgram_recvmsg() will hold the readlock of the socket until recv
is complete.

In the same time, we may try to setsockopt(SO_PEEK_OFF) which will hang until
unix_dgram_recvmsg() will complete (which can take a while) without allowing
us to break out of it, triggering a hung task spew.

Instead, allow set_peek_off to fail, this way userspace will not hang.

<title>net: rework recvmsg handler msg_name and msg_namelen logic</title>

<id>urn:sha1:f3d3342602f8bcbf37d7c46641cb9bca7618eb1c</id>
<content type='text'>
This patch now always passes msg-&gt;msg_namelen as 0. recvmsg handlers must
set msg_namelen to the proper size &lt;= sizeof(struct sockaddr_storage)
to return msg_name to the user.

This prevents numerous uninitialized memory leaks we had in the
recvmsg handlers and makes it harder for new code to accidentally leak
uninitialized memory.

Optimize for the case recvfrom is called with NULL as address. We don't
need to copy the address at all, so set it to NULL before invoking the
recvmsg handler. We can do so, because all the recvmsg handlers must
cope with the case a plain read() is called on them. read() also sets
msg_name to NULL.

Also document these changes in include/linux/net.h as suggested by David
Miller.

Changes since RFC:

Set msg-&gt;msg_name = NULL if user specified a NULL in msg_name but had a
non-null msg_namelen in verify_iovec/verify_compat_iovec. This doesn't
affect sendto as it would bail out earlier while trying to copy-in the
address. It also more naturally reflects the logic by the callers of
verify_iovec.

With this change in place I could remove "
if (!uaddr || msg_sys-&gt;msg_namelen == 0)
	msg-&gt;msg_name = NULL
".

This change does not alter the user visible error logic as we ignore
msg_namelen as long as msg_name is NULL.

Also remove two unnecessary curly brackets in ___sys_recvmsg and change
comments to netdev style.

I initial build non irq safe version of net_get_random_once because I
would liked to have the freedom to defer even the extraction process of
get_random_bytes until the nonblocking pool is fully seeded.

I don't think this is a good idea anymore and thus this patch makes
net_get_random_once irq safe. Now someone using net_get_random_once does
not need to care from where it is called.

net_get_random_once is a new macro which handles the initialization
of secret keys. It is possible to call it in the fast path. Only the
initialization depends on the spinlock and is rather slow. Otherwise
it should get used just before the key is used to delay the entropy
extration as late as possible to get better randomness. It returns true
if the key got initialized.

The usage of static_keys for net_get_random_once is a bit uncommon so
it needs some further explanation why this actually works:

=== In the simple non-HAVE_JUMP_LABEL case we actually have ===
no constrains to use static_key_(true|false) on keys initialized with
STATIC_KEY_INIT_(FALSE|TRUE). So this path just expands in favor of
the likely case that the initialization is already done. The key is
initialized like this:

___done_key = { .enabled = ATOMIC_INIT(0) }

The check

                if (!static_key_true(&amp;___done_key))                     \

expands into (pseudo code)

                if (!likely(___done_key &gt; 0))

, so we take the fast path as soon as ___done_key is increased from the
helper function.

=== If HAVE_JUMP_LABELs are available this depends ===
on patching of jumps into the prepared NOPs, which is done in
jump_label_init at boot-up time (from start_kernel). It is forbidden
and dangerous to use net_get_random_once in functions which are called
before that!

At compilation time NOPs are generated at the call sites of
net_get_random_once. E.g. net/ipv6/inet6_hashtable.c:inet6_ehashfn (we
need to call net_get_random_once two times in inet6_ehashfn, so two NOPs):

      71:       0f 1f 44 00 00          nopl   0x0(%rax,%rax,1)
      76:       0f 1f 44 00 00          nopl   0x0(%rax,%rax,1)

Both will be patched to the actual jumps to the end of the function to
call __net_get_random_once at boot time as explained above.

arch_static_branch is optimized and inlined for false as return value and
actually also returns false in case the NOP is placed in the instruction
stream. So in the fast case we get a "return false". But because we
initialize ___done_key with (enabled != (entries &amp; 1)) this call-site
will get patched up at boot thus returning true. The final check looks
like this:

                if (!static_key_true(&amp;___done_key))                     \
                        ___ret = __net_get_random_once(buf,             \

expands to

                if (!!static_key_false(&amp;___done_key))                     \
                        ___ret = __net_get_random_once(buf,             \

So we get true at boot time and as soon as static_key_slow_inc is called
on the key it will invert the logic and return false for the fast path.
static_key_slow_inc will change the branch because it got initialized
with .enabled == 0. After static_key_slow_inc is called on the key the
branch is replaced with a nop again.

=== Misc: ===
The helper defers the increment into a workqueue so we don't
have problems calling this code from atomic sections. A seperate boolean
(___done) guards the case where we enter net_get_random_once again before
the increment happend.
