Merge branch 'next-lockdown' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/jmorris/linux-security
Pull kernel lockdown mode from James Morris:
"This is the latest iteration of the kernel lockdown patchset, from
Matthew Garrett, David Howells and others.
From the original description:
This patchset introduces an optional kernel lockdown feature,
intended to strengthen the boundary between UID 0 and the kernel.
When enabled, various pieces of kernel functionality are restricted.
Applications that rely on low-level access to either hardware or the
kernel may cease working as a result - therefore this should not be
enabled without appropriate evaluation beforehand.
The majority of mainstream distributions have been carrying variants
of this patchset for many years now, so there's value in providing a
doesn't meet every distribution requirement, but gets us much closer
to not requiring external patches.
There are two major changes since this was last proposed for mainline:
- Separating lockdown from EFI secure boot. Background discussion is
covered here: https://lwn.net/Articles/751061/
- Implementation as an LSM, with a default stackable lockdown LSM
module. This allows the lockdown feature to be policy-driven,
rather than encoding an implicit policy within the mechanism.
The new locked_down LSM hook is provided to allow LSMs to make a
policy decision around whether kernel functionality that would allow
tampering with or examining the runtime state of the kernel should be
permitted.
The included lockdown LSM provides an implementation with a simple
policy intended for general purpose use. This policy provides a coarse
level of granularity, controllable via the kernel command line:
lockdown={integrity|confidentiality}
Enable the kernel lockdown feature. If set to integrity, kernel features
that allow userland to modify the running kernel are disabled. If set to
confidentiality, kernel features that allow userland to extract
confidential information from the kernel are also disabled.
This may also be controlled via /sys/kernel/security/lockdown and
overriden by kernel configuration.
New or existing LSMs may implement finer-grained controls of the
lockdown features. Refer to the lockdown_reason documentation in
include/linux/security.h for details.
The lockdown feature has had signficant design feedback and review
across many subsystems. This code has been in linux-next for some
weeks, with a few fixes applied along the way.

Merge branch 'next-integrity' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/zohar/linux-integrity
Pull integrity updates from Mimi Zohar: "The major feature in this time is IMA support for measuring and appraising appended file signatures. In addition are a couple of bug fixes and code cleanup to use struct_size(). In addition to the PE/COFF and IMA xattr signatures, the kexec kernel image may be signed with an appended signature, using the same scripts/sign-file tool that is used to sign kernel modules. Similarly, the initramfs may contain an appended signature. This contained a lot of refactoring of the existing appended signature verification code, so that IMA could retain the existing framework of calculating the file hash once, storing it in the IMA measurement list and extending the TPM, verifying the file's integrity based on a file hash or signature (eg. xattrs), and adding an audit record containing the file hash, all based on policy. (The IMA support for appended signatures patch set was posted and reviewed 11 times.) The support for appended signature paves the way for adding other signature verification methods, such as fs-verity, based on a single system-wide policy. The file hash used for verifying the signature and the signature, itself, can be included in the IMA measurement list" * 'next-integrity' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/zohar/linux-integrity: ima: ima_api: Use struct_size() in kzalloc() ima: use struct_size() in kzalloc() sefltest/ima: support appended signatures (modsig) ima: Fix use after free in ima_read_modsig() MODSIGN: make new include file self contained ima: fix freeing ongoing ahash_request ima: always return negative code for error ima: Store the measurement again when appraising a modsig ima: Define ima-modsig template ima: Collect modsig ima: Implement support for module-style appended signatures ima: Factor xattr_verify() out of ima_appraise_measurement() ima: Add modsig appraise_type option for module-style appended signatures integrity: Select CONFIG_KEYS instead of depending on it PKCS#7: Introduce pkcs7_get_digest() PKCS#7: Refactor verify_pkcs7_signature() MODSIGN: Export module signature definitions ima: initialize the "template" field with the default template |

Modules updates for v5.4
Summary of modules changes for the 5.4 merge window:
- Introduce exported symbol namespaces.
This new feature allows subsystem maintainers to partition and
categorize their exported symbols into explicit namespaces. Module
authors are now required to import the namespaces they need.
Some of the main motivations of this feature include: allowing kernel
developers to better manage the export surface, allow subsystem
maintainers to explicitly state that usage of some exported symbols
should only be limited to certain users (think: inter-module or
inter-driver symbols, debugging symbols, etc), as well as more easily
limiting the availability of namespaced symbols to other parts of the
kernel. With the module import requirement, it is also easier to spot
the misuse of exported symbols during patch review. Two new macros are
introduced: EXPORT_SYMBOL_NS() and EXPORT_SYMBOL_NS_GPL(). The API is
thoroughly documented in Documentation/kbuild/namespaces.rst.
- Some small code and kbuild cleanups here and there.

Merge tag 'modules-for-v5.4' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/jeyu/linux
Pull modules updates from Jessica Yu:
"The main bulk of this pull request introduces a new exported symbol
namespaces feature. The number of exported symbols is increasingly
growing with each release (we're at about 31k exports as of 5.3-rc7)
and we currently have no way of visualizing how these symbols are
"clustered" or making sense of this huge export surface.
Namespacing exported symbols allows kernel developers to more
explicitly partition and categorize exported symbols, as well as more
easily limiting the availability of namespaced symbols to other parts
of the kernel. For starters, we have introduced the USB_STORAGE
namespace to demonstrate the API's usage. I have briefly summarized
the feature and its main motivations in the tag below.

Make use of gcc 9's "asm inline()" (Rasmus Villemoes):
gcc 9+ (and gcc 8.3, 7.5) provides a way to override the otherwise
crude heuristic that gcc uses to estimate the size of the code
represented by an asm() statement. From the gcc docs
If you use 'asm inline' instead of just 'asm', then for inlining
purposes the size of the asm is taken as the minimum size, ignoring
how many instructions GCC thinks it is.
For compatibility with older compilers, we obviously want a
#if [understands asm inline]
#define asm_inline asm inline
#else
#define asm_inline asm
#endif
But since we #define the identifier inline to attach some attributes,
we have to use an alternate spelling of that keyword. gcc provides
both __inline__ and __inline, and we currently #define both to inline,
so they all have the same semantics. We have to free up one of
__inline__ and __inline, and the latter is by far the easiest.
The two x86 changes cause smaller code gen differences than I'd
expect, but I think we do want the asm_inline thing available sooner
or later, so this is just to get the ball rolling.

um: Enable CONFIG_CONSTRUCTORS
We do need to call the constructors for *modules*, and at least for KASAN in the future, we must call even the kernel constructors only later when the kernel has been initialized. Instead of relying on libc to call them, emit an empty section for libc and let the kernel's CONSTRUCTORS code do the rest of the job. Tested that it indeed doesn't work in modules, and does work after the fixes in both, with a few functions with __attribute__((constructor)) in both dynamic and static builds.

compiler-types.h: add asm_inline definition
This adds an asm_inline macro which expands to "asm inline" [1] when
the compiler supports it. This is currently gcc 9.1+, gcc 8.3
and (once released) gcc 7.5 [2]. It expands to just "asm" for other
compilers.
Using asm inline("foo") instead of asm("foo") overrules gcc's
heuristic estimate of the size of the code represented by the asm()
statement, and makes gcc use the minimum possible size instead. That
can in turn affect gcc's inlining decisions.
I wasn't sure whether to make this a function-like macro or not - this
way, it can be combined with volatile as
asm_inline volatile()
but perhaps we'd prefer to spell that
asm_inline_volatile()
anyway.
The Kconfig logic is taken from an RFC patch by Masahiro Yamada [3].
[1] Technically, asm __inline, since both inline and __inline__
are macros that attach various attributes, making gcc barf if one
literally does "asm inline()". However, the third spelling __inline is

module: move CONFIG_UNUSED_SYMBOLS to the sub-menu of MODULES
When CONFIG_MODULES is disabled, CONFIG_UNUSED_SYMBOLS is pointless, thus it should be invisible. Instead of adding "depends on MODULES", I moved it to the sub-menu "Enable loadable module support", which is a better fit. I put it close to TRIM_UNUSED_KSYMS because it depends on !UNUSED_SYMBOLS.

module: add config option MODULE_ALLOW_MISSING_NAMESPACE_IMPORTS
If MODULE_ALLOW_MISSING_NAMESPACE_IMPORTS is enabled (default=n), the requirement for modules to import all namespaces that are used by the module is relaxed. Enabling this option effectively allows (invalid) modules to be loaded while only a warning is emitted. Disabling this option keeps the enforcement at module loading time and loading is denied if the module's imports are not satisfactory.

kbuild,arc: add CONFIG_CC_OPTIMIZE_FOR_PERFORMANCE_O3 for ARC
arch/arc/Makefile overrides -O2 with -O3. This is the only user of
ARCH_CFLAGS. There is no user of ARCH_CPPFLAGS or ARCH_AFLAGS.
My plan is to remove ARCH_{CPP,A,C}FLAGS after refactoring the ARC
Makefile.
Currently, ARC has no way to enable -Wmaybe-uninitialized because both
-O3 and -Os disable it. Enabling it will be useful for compile-testing.
This commit allows allmodconfig (, which defaults to -O2) to enable it.
Add CONFIG_CC_OPTIMIZE_FOR_PERFORMANCE_O3=y to all the defconfig files
in arch/arc/configs/ in order to keep the current config settings.

sched/uclamp: Extend CPU's cgroup controller
The cgroup CPU bandwidth controller allows to assign a specified
(maximum) bandwidth to the tasks of a group. However this bandwidth is
defined and enforced only on a temporal base, without considering the
actual frequency a CPU is running on. Thus, the amount of computation
completed by a task within an allocated bandwidth can be very different
depending on the actual frequency the CPU is running that task.
The amount of computation can be affected also by the specific CPU a
task is running on, especially when running on asymmetric capacity
systems like Arm's big.LITTLE.
With the availability of schedutil, the scheduler is now able
to drive frequency selections based on actual task utilization.
Moreover, the utilization clamping support provides a mechanism to
bias the frequency selection operated by schedutil depending on
constraints assigned to the tasks currently RUNNABLE on a CPU.
Giving the mechanisms described above, it is now possible to extend the
cpu controller to specify the minimum (or maximum) utilization which
should be considered for tasks RUNNABLE on a cpu.
This makes it possible to better defined the actual computational
power assigned to task groups, thus improving the cgroup CPU bandwidth
controller which is currently based just on time constraints.
Extend the CPU controller with a couple of new attributes uclamp.{min,max}
which allow to enforce utilization boosting and capping for all the
tasks in a group.
Specifically:
- uclamp.min: defines the minimum utilization which should be considered
i.e. the RUNNABLE tasks of this group will run at least at a
minimum frequency which corresponds to the uclamp.min
utilization
- uclamp.max: defines the maximum utilization which should be considered
i.e. the RUNNABLE tasks of this group will run up to a
maximum frequency which corresponds to the uclamp.max
utilization
These attributes:
a) are available only for non-root nodes, both on default and legacy
hierarchies, while system wide clamps are defined by a generic
interface which does not depends on cgroups. This system wide
interface enforces constraints on tasks in the root node.
b) enforce effective constraints at each level of the hierarchy which
are a restriction of the group requests considering its parent's
effective constraints. Root group effective constraints are defined
by the system wide interface.
This mechanism allows each (non-root) level of the hierarchy to:
- request whatever clamp values it would like to get
- effectively get only up to the maximum amount allowed by its parent
c) have higher priority than task-specific clamps, defined via
sched_setattr(), thus allowing to control and restrict task requests.
Add two new attributes to the cpu controller to collect "requested"
clamp values. Allow that at each non-root level of the hierarchy.
Keep it simple by not caring now about "effective" values computation
and propagation along the hierarchy.
Update sysctl_sched_uclamp_handler() to use the newly introduced
uclamp_mutex so that we serialize system default updates with cgroup
relate updates.

lockdown: Enforce module signatures if the kernel is locked down
If the kernel is locked down, require that all modules have valid
signatures that we can verify.
I have adjusted the errors generated:
(1) If there's no signature (ENODATA) or we can't check it (ENOPKG,
ENOKEY), then:
(a) If signatures are enforced then EKEYREJECTED is returned.
(b) If there's no signature or we can't check it, but the kernel is
locked down then EPERM is returned (this is then consistent with
other lockdown cases).
(2) If the signature is unparseable (EBADMSG, EINVAL), the signature fails
the check (EKEYREJECTED) or a system error occurs (eg. ENOMEM), we
return the error we got.
Note that the X.509 code doesn't check for key expiry as the RTC might not
be valid or might not have been transferred to the kernel's clock yet.
[Modified by Matthew Garrett to remove the IMA integration. This will
be replaced with integration with the IMA architecture policy
patchset.]

MODSIGN: Export module signature definitions
IMA will use the module_signature format for append signatures, so export the relevant definitions and factor out the code which verifies that the appended signature trailer is valid. Also, create a CONFIG_MODULE_SIG_FORMAT option so that IMA can select it and be able to use mod_check_sig() without having to depend on either CONFIG_MODULE_SIG or CONFIG_MODULES. s390 duplicated the definition of struct module_signature so now they can use the new <linux/module_signature.h> header instead.

arm64: Add support for relocating the kernel with RELR relocations
RELR is a relocation packing format for relative relocations. The format is described in a generic-abi proposal: https://groups.google.com/d/topic/generic-abi/bX460iggiKg/discussion The LLD linker can be instructed to pack relocations in the RELR format by passing the flag --pack-dyn-relocs=relr. This patch adds a new config option, CONFIG_RELR. Enabling this option instructs the linker to pack vmlinux's relative relocations in the RELR format, and causes the kernel to apply the relocations at startup along with the RELA relocations. RELA relocations still need to be applied because the linker will emit RELA relative relocations if they are unrepresentable in the RELR format (i.e. address not a multiple of 2). Enabling CONFIG_RELR reduces the size of a defconfig kernel image with CONFIG_RANDOMIZE_BASE by 3.5MB/16% uncompressed, or 550KB/5% compressed (lz4).

kbuild: compile-test kernel headers to ensure they are self-contained
The headers in include/ are globally used in the kernel source tree to provide common APIs. They are included from external modules, too. It will be useful to make as many headers self-contained as possible so that we do not have to rely on a specific include order. There are more than 4000 headers in include/. In my rough analysis, 70% of them are already self-contained. With efforts, most of them can be self-contained. For now, we must exclude more than 1000 headers just because they cannot be compiled as standalone units. I added them to header-test-. The blacklist was mostly generated by a script, so the reason of the breakage should be checked later.

kbuild: compile-test exported headers to ensure they are self-contained
Multiple people have suggested compile-testing UAPI headers to ensure they can be really included from user-space. "make headers_check" is obviously not enough to catch bugs, and we often leak unresolved references to user-space. Use the new header-test-y syntax to implement it. Please note exported headers are compile-tested with a completely different set of compiler flags. The header search path is set to $(objtree)/usr/include since exported headers should not include unexported ones. We use -std=gnu89 for the kernel space since the kernel code highly depends on GNU extensions. On the other hand, UAPI headers should be written in more standardized C, so they are compiled with -std=c90. This will emit errors if C++ style comments, the keyword 'inline', etc. are used. Please use C style comments (/* ... */), '__inline__', etc. in UAPI headers. There is additional compiler requirement to enable this test because many of UAPI headers include <stdlib.h>, <sys/ioctl.h>, <sys/time.h>, etc. directly or indirectly. You cannot use kernel.org pre-built toolchains [1] since they lack <stdlib.h>. I reused CONFIG_CC_CAN_LINK to check the system header availability. The intention is slightly different, but a compiler that can link userspace programs provide system headers. For now, a lot of headers need to be excluded because they cannot be compiled standalone, but this is a good start point.

sched/uclamp: Add CPU's clamp buckets refcounting
Utilization clamping allows to clamp the CPU's utilization within a
[util_min, util_max] range, depending on the set of RUNNABLE tasks on
that CPU. Each task references two "clamp buckets" defining its minimum
and maximum (util_{min,max}) utilization "clamp values". A CPU's clamp
bucket is active if there is at least one RUNNABLE tasks enqueued on
that CPU and refcounting that bucket.
When a task is {en,de}queued {on,from} a rq, the set of active clamp
buckets on that CPU can change. If the set of active clamp buckets
changes for a CPU a new "aggregated" clamp value is computed for that
CPU. This is because each clamp bucket enforces a different utilization
clamp value.
Clamp values are always MAX aggregated for both util_min and util_max.
This ensures that no task can affect the performance of other
co-scheduled tasks which are more boosted (i.e. with higher util_min
clamp) or less capped (i.e. with higher util_max clamp).
A task has:
task_struct::uclamp[clamp_id]::bucket_id
to track the "bucket index" of the CPU's clamp bucket it refcounts while
enqueued, for each clamp index (clamp_id).
A runqueue has:
rq::uclamp[clamp_id]::bucket[bucket_id].tasks
to track how many RUNNABLE tasks on that CPU refcount each
clamp bucket (bucket_id) of a clamp index (clamp_id).
It also has a:
rq::uclamp[clamp_id]::bucket[bucket_id].value
to track the clamp value of each clamp bucket (bucket_id) of a clamp
index (clamp_id).
The rq::uclamp::bucket[clamp_id][] array is scanned every time it's
needed to find a new MAX aggregated clamp value for a clamp_id. This
operation is required only when it's dequeued the last task of a clamp
bucket tracking the current MAX aggregated clamp value. In this case,
the CPU is either entering IDLE or going to schedule a less boosted or
more clamped task.
The expected number of different clamp values configured at build time
is small enough to fit the full unordered array into a single cache
line, for configurations of up to 7 buckets.
Add to struct rq the basic data structures required to refcount the
number of RUNNABLE tasks for each clamp bucket. Add also the max
aggregation required to update the rq's clamp value at each
enqueue/dequeue event.
Use a simple linear mapping of clamp values into clamp buckets.
Pre-compute and cache bucket_id to avoid integer divisions at
enqueue/dequeue time.

mm: shuffle initial free memory to improve memory-side-cache utilization
Patch series "mm: Randomize free memory", v10.
This patch (of 3):
Randomization of the page allocator improves the average utilization of
a direct-mapped memory-side-cache. Memory side caching is a platform
capability that Linux has been previously exposed to in HPC
(high-performance computing) environments on specialty platforms. In
that instance it was a smaller pool of high-bandwidth-memory relative to
higher-capacity / lower-bandwidth DRAM. Now, this capability is going
to be found on general purpose server platforms where DRAM is a cache in
front of higher latency persistent memory [1].
Robert offered an explanation of the state of the art of Linux
interactions with memory-side-caches [2], and I copy it here:
It's been a problem in the HPC space:
http://www.nersc.gov/research-and-development/knl-cache-mode-performance-coe/
A kernel module called zonesort is available to try to help:
https://software.intel.com/en-us/articles/xeon-phi-software
and this abandoned patch series proposed that for the kernel:
https://lkml.kernel.org/r/20170823100205.17311-1-lukasz.daniluk@intel.com
Dan's patch series doesn't attempt to ensure buffers won't conflict, but
also reduces the chance that the buffers will. This will make performance
more consistent, albeit slower than "optimal" (which is near impossible
to attain in a general-purpose kernel). That's better than forcing
users to deploy remedies like:
"To eliminate this gradual degradation, we have added a Stream
measurement to the Node Health Check that follows each job;
nodes are rebooted whenever their measured memory bandwidth
falls below 300 GB/s."
A replacement for zonesort was merged upstream in commit

Provide in-kernel headers to make extending kernel easier
Introduce in-kernel headers which are made available as an archive through proc (/proc/kheaders.tar.xz file). This archive makes it possible to run eBPF and other tracing programs that need to extend the kernel for tracing purposes without any dependency on the file system having headers. A github PR is sent for the corresponding BCC patch at: https://github.com/iovisor/bcc/pull/2312 On Android and embedded systems, it is common to switch kernels but not have kernel headers available on the file system. Further once a different kernel is booted, any headers stored on the file system will no longer be useful. This is an issue even well known to distros. By storing the headers as a compressed archive within the kernel, we can avoid these issues that have been a hindrance for a long time. The best way to use this feature is by building it in. Several users have a need for this, when they switch debug kernels, they do not want to update the filesystem or worry about it where to store the headers on it. However, the feature is also buildable as a module in case the user desires it not being part of the kernel image. This makes it possible to load and unload the headers from memory on demand. A tracing program can load the module, do its operations, and then unload the module to save kernel memory. The total memory needed is 3.3MB. By having the archive available at a fixed location independent of filesystem dependencies and conventions, all debugging tools can directly refer to the fixed location for the archive, without concerning with where the headers on a typical filesystem which significantly simplifies tooling that needs kernel headers. The code to read the headers is based on /proc/config.gz code and uses the same technique to embed the headers. Other approaches were discussed such as having an in-memory mountable filesystem, but that has drawbacks such as requiring an in-kernel xz decompressor which we don't have today, and requiring usage of 42 MB of kernel memory to host the decompressed headers at anytime. Also this approach is simpler than such approaches.

time: Make VIRT_CPU_ACCOUNTING_GEN depend on GENERIC_CLOCKEVENTS
Moving the CONTEXT_TRACKING Kconfig option into kernel/time/Kconfig added
an implicit dependency on the surrounding GENERIC_CLOCKEVENTS option, but
this is not always enabled when it is possible to select
VIRT_CPU_ACCOUNTING_GEN:
WARNING: unmet direct dependencies detected for CONTEXT_TRACKING
Depends on [n]: GENERIC_CLOCKEVENTS [=n]
Selected by [y]:
- VIRT_CPU_ACCOUNTING_GEN [=y] && <choice> && HAVE_CONTEXT_TRACKING [=y] && HAVE_VIRT_CPU_ACCOUNTING_GEN [=y]
Platforms without GENERIC_CLOCKEVENTS are rare enough so that corner case
can be just ignored. Make it a dependency for VIRT_CPU_ACCOUNTING_GEN to
simplify the configuration.
Fixes:

kbuild: clean up scripts/gcc-version.sh
Now that the Kconfig is the only user of this script, we can drop unneeded code. Remove the -p option, and stop prepending the output with zero, so that Kconfig can directly use the output from this script. Signed-off-by: Masahiro Yamada <yamada.masahiro@socionext.com> |

Add io_uring IO interface
The submission queue (SQ) and completion queue (CQ) rings are shared between the application and the kernel. This eliminates the need to copy data back and forth to submit and complete IO. IO submissions use the io_uring_sqe data structure, and completions are generated in the form of io_uring_cqe data structures. The SQ ring is an index into the io_uring_sqe array, which makes it possible to submit a batch of IOs without them being contiguous in the ring. The CQ ring is always contiguous, as completion events are inherently unordered, and hence any io_uring_cqe entry can point back to an arbitrary submission. Two new system calls are added for this: io_uring_setup(entries, params) Sets up an io_uring instance for doing async IO. On success, returns a file descriptor that the application can mmap to gain access to the SQ ring, CQ ring, and io_uring_sqes. io_uring_enter(fd, to_submit, min_complete, flags, sigset, sigsetsize) Initiates IO against the rings mapped to this fd, or waits for them to complete, or both. The behavior is controlled by the parameters passed in. If 'to_submit' is non-zero, then we'll try and submit new IO. If IORING_ENTER_GETEVENTS is set, the kernel will wait for 'min_complete' events, if they aren't already available. It's valid to set IORING_ENTER_GETEVENTS and 'min_complete' == 0 at the same time, this allows the kernel to return already completed events without waiting for them. This is useful only for polling, as for IRQ driven IO, the application can just check the CQ ring without entering the kernel. With this setup, it's possible to do async IO with a single system call. Future developments will enable polled IO with this interface, and polled submission as well. The latter will enable an application to do IO without doing ANY system calls at all. For IRQ driven IO, an application only needs to enter the kernel for completions if it wants to wait for them to occur. Each io_uring is backed by a workqueue, to support buffered async IO as well. We will only punt to an async context if the command would need to wait for IO on the device side. Any data that can be accessed directly in the page cache is done inline. This avoids the slowness issue of usual threadpools, since cached data is accessed as quickly as a sync interface.
