git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/tip/tip Pull compat time conversion changes from Peter Anvin: "Despite the branch name this is really neither an x86 nor an x32-specific patchset, although it the implementation of the discussions that followed the x32 security hole a few months ago. This removes get/put_compat_timespec/val() and replaces them with compat_get/put_timespec/val() which are savvy as to the current status of COMPAT_USE_64BIT_TIME. It removes several unused and/or incorrect/misleading functions (like compat_put_timeval_convert which doesn't in fact do any conversion) and also replaces several open-coded implementations what is now called compat_convert_timespec() with that function" * 'x86-x32-for-linus' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/tip/tip: compat: Fix sparse address space warnings compat: Get rid of (get|put)_compat_time(val|spec)

Pull workqueue changes from Tejun Heo: "PREPARE_[DELAYED_]WORK() were used to change the work function of work items without fully reinitializing it; however, this makes workqueue consider the work item as a different one from before and allows the work item to start executing before the previous instance is finished which can lead to extremely subtle issues which are painful to debug.

git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/s390/linux Pull s390 compat wrapper rework from Heiko Carstens: "S390 compat system call wrapper simplification work. The intention of this work is to get rid of all hand written assembly compat system call wrappers on s390, which perform proper sign or zero extension, or pointer conversion of compat system call parameters. Instead all of this should be done with C code eg by using Al's COMPAT_SYSCALL_DEFINEx() macro. Therefore all common code and s390 specific compat system calls have been converted to the COMPAT_SYSCALL_DEFINEx() macro. In order to generate correct code all compat system calls may only have eg compat_ulong_t parameters, but no unsigned long parameters. Those patches which change parameter types from unsigned long to compat_ulong_t parameters are separate in this series, but shouldn't cause any harm. The only compat system calls which intentionally have 64 bit parameters (preadv64 and pwritev64) in support of the x86/32 ABI haven't been changed, but are now only available if an architecture defines __ARCH_WANT_COMPAT_SYS_PREADV64/PWRITEV64. System calls which do not have a compat variant but still need proper zero extension on s390, like eg "long sys_brk(unsigned long brk)" will get a proper wrapper function with the new s390 specific COMPAT_SYSCALL_WRAPx() macro: COMPAT_SYSCALL_WRAP1(brk, unsigned long, brk); which generates the following code (simplified): asmlinkage long sys_brk(unsigned long brk); asmlinkage long compat_sys_brk(long brk) { return sys_brk((u32)brk); } Given that the C file which contains all the COMPAT_SYSCALL_WRAP lines includes both linux/syscall.h and linux/compat.h, it will generate build errors, if the declaration of sys_brk() doesn't match, or if there exists a non-matching compat_sys_brk() declaration. In addition this will intentionally result in a link error if somewhere else a compat_sys_brk() function exists, which probably should have been used instead. Two more BUILD_BUG_ONs make sure the size and type of each compat syscall parameter can be handled correctly with the s390 specific macros. I converted the compat system calls step by step to verify the generated code is correct and matches the previous code. In fact it did not always match, however that was always a bug in the hand written asm code. In result we get less code, less bugs, and much more sanity checking" * 'compat' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/s390/linux: (44 commits) s390/compat: add copyright statement compat: include linux/unistd.h within linux/compat.h s390/compat: get rid of compat wrapper assembly code s390/compat: build error for large compat syscall args mm/compat: convert to COMPAT_SYSCALL_DEFINE with changing parameter types kexec/compat: convert to COMPAT_SYSCALL_DEFINE with changing parameter types net/compat: convert to COMPAT_SYSCALL_DEFINE with changing parameter types ipc/compat: convert to COMPAT_SYSCALL_DEFINE with changing parameter types fs/compat: convert to COMPAT_SYSCALL_DEFINE with changing parameter types ipc/compat: convert to COMPAT_SYSCALL_DEFINE fs/compat: convert to COMPAT_SYSCALL_DEFINE security/compat: convert to COMPAT_SYSCALL_DEFINE mm/compat: convert to COMPAT_SYSCALL_DEFINE net/compat: convert to COMPAT_SYSCALL_DEFINE kernel/compat: convert to COMPAT_SYSCALL_DEFINE fs/compat: optional preadv64/pwrite64 compat system calls ipc/compat_sys_msgrcv: change msgtyp type from long to compat_long_t s390/compat: partial parameter conversion within syscall wrappers s390/compat: automatic zero, sign and pointer conversion of syscalls s390/compat: add sync_file_range and fallocate compat syscalls ...

anon_inodefs filesystem is a kernel internal filesystem userspace shouldn't mess with.

This fixes an oops triggered by trinity when it tried mounting anon_inodefs which overwrote anon_inode_inode pointer while other CPU has been in anon_inode_getfile() between ihold() and d_instantiate().

2014-03-23rcuwalk: recheck mount_lock after mountpoint crossing attemptsAl Viro1-16/+13
We can get false negative from __lookup_mnt() if an unrelated vfsmount gets moved. In that case legitimize_mnt() is guaranteed to fail, and we will fall back to non-RCU walk... unless we end up running into a hard error on a filesystem object we wouldn't have reached if not for that false negative. IOW, delaying that check until the end of pathname resolution is wrong - we should recheck right after we attempt to cross the mountpoint. We don't need to recheck unless we see d_mountpoint() being true - in that case even if we have just raced with mount/umount, we can simply go on as if we'd come at the moment when the sucker wasn't a mountpoint; if we run into a hard error as the result, it was a legitimate outcome. __lookup_mnt() returning NULL is different in that respect, since it might've happened due to operation on completely unrelated mountpoint.

2014-03-23vfs: Don't let __fdget_pos() get FMODE_PATH filesEric Biggers1-15/+4
Commit bd2a31d522344 ("get rid of fget_light()") introduced the __fdget_pos() function, which returns the resulting file pointer and fdput flags combined in an 'unsigned long'. However, it also changed the behavior to return files with FMODE_PATH set, which shouldn't happen because read(), write(), lseek(), etc. aren't allowed on such files. This commit restores the old behavior. This regression actually had no effect on read() and write() since FMODE_READ and FMODE_WRITE are not set on file descriptors opened with O_PATH, but it did cause lseek() on a file descriptor opened with O_PATH to fail with ESPIPE rather than EBADF.

The architectures that override cputime_t (s390, ppc) don't provide any version of nsecs_to_cputime(). Indeed this cputime_t implementation by backend only happens when CONFIG_VIRT_CPU_ACCOUNTING_NATIVE=y under which the core code doesn't make any use of nsecs_to_cputime(). At least for now.

2014-03-11hfsplus: add HFSX subfolder count supportSergei Antonov4-2/+55
Adds support for HFSX 'HasFolderCount' flag and a corresponding 'folderCount' field in folder records. (For reference see HFS_FOLDERCOUNT and kHFSHasFolderCountBit/kHFSHasFolderCountMask in Apple's source code.) Ignoring subfolder count leads to fs errors found by Mac: ... Checking catalog hierarchy. HasFolderCount flag needs to be set (id = 105) (It should be 0x10 instead of 0) Incorrect folder count in a directory (id = 2) (It should be 7 instead of 6) ... Steps to reproduce: Format with "newfs_hfs -s /dev/diskXXX". Mount in Linux. Create a new directory in root. Unmount. Run "fsck_hfs /dev/diskXXX". The patch handles directory creation, deletion, and rename.

2014-03-11fs/proc/base.c: fix GPF in /proc/$PID/map_filesArtem Fetishev1-0/+1
The expected logic of proc_map_files_get_link() is either to return 0 and initialize 'path' or return an error and leave 'path' uninitialized. By the time dname_to_vma_addr() returns 0 the corresponding vma may have already be gone. In this case the path is not initialized but the return value is still 0. This results in 'general protection fault' inside d_path().

2014-03-10vfs: atomic f_pos accesses as per POSIXLinus Torvalds4-15/+46
Our write() system call has always been atomic in the sense that you get the expected thread-safe contiguous write, but we haven't actually guaranteed that concurrent writes are serialized wrt f_pos accesses, so threads (or processes) that share a file descriptor and use "write()" concurrently would quite likely overwrite each others data. This violates POSIX.1-2008/SUSv4 Section XSI 2.9.7 that says: "2.9.7 Thread Interactions with Regular File Operations All of the following functions shall be atomic with respect to each other in the effects specified in POSIX.1-2008 when they operate on regular files or symbolic links: [...]" and one of the effects is the file position update. This unprotected file position behavior is not new behavior, and nobody has ever cared. Until now. Yongzhi Pan reported unexpected behavior to Michael Kerrisk that was due to this. This resolves the issue with a f_pos-specific lock that is taken by read/write/lseek on file descriptors that may be shared across threads or processes.

2014-03-07afs: don't use PREPARE_WORKTejun Heo2-2/+11
PREPARE_[DELAYED_]WORK() are being phased out. They have few users and a nasty surprise in terms of reentrancy guarantee as workqueue considers work items to be different if they don't have the same work function. afs_call->async_work is multiplexed with multiple work functions. Introduce afs_async_workfn() which invokes afs_call->async_workfn and always use it as the work function and update the users to set the ->async_workfn field instead of overriding the work function using PREPARE_WORK(). It would probably be best to route this with other related updates through the workqueue tree. Compile tested.

2014-03-06fs/compat: convert to COMPAT_SYSCALL_DEFINE with changing parameter typesHeiko Carstens2-28/+21
Some fs compat system calls have unsigned long parameters instead of compat_ulong_t. In order to allow the COMPAT_SYSCALL_DEFINE macro generate code that performs proper zero and sign extension convert all 64 bit parameters their corresponding 32 bit counterparts. compat_sys_io_getevents() is a bit different: the non-compat version has signed parameters for the "min_nr" and "nr" parameters while the compat version has unsigned parameters. So change this as well. For all practical purposes this shouldn't make any difference (doesn't fix a real bug). Also introduce a generic compat_aio_context_t type which can be used everywhere. The access_ok() check within compat_sys_io_getevents() got also removed since the non-compat sys_io_getevents() should be able to handle everything anyway.

In commit 5521abfdcf4d6 (NFSv4: Resend the READ/WRITE RPC call if a stateid change causes an error), we overloaded the return value of nfs4_select_rw_stateid() to cause it to return -EWOULDBLOCK if an RPC call is outstanding that would cause the NFSv4 lock or open stateid to change. That is all redundant when we actually copy the stateid used in the read/write RPC call that failed, and check that against the current stateid. It is doubly so, when we consider that in the NFSv4.1 case, we also set the stateid's seqid to the special value '0', which means 'match the current valid stateid'.
