| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Add a description about the endianness of the size and the checksum fields. Those must be stored as le32 instead of u32. This will allow us to apply bootconfig to the cross build initrd without caring the endianness.

From Daniel's cover letter: IBM Power9 processors can speculatively operate on data in the L1 cache before it has been completely validated, via a way-prediction mechanism. It is not possible for an attacker to determine the contents of impermissible memory using this method, since these systems implement a combination of hardware and software security measures to prevent scenarios where protected data could be leaked. However these measures don't address the scenario where an attacker induces the operating system to speculatively execute instructions using data that the attacker controls. This can be used for example to speculatively bypass "kernel user access prevention" techniques, as discovered by Anthony Steinhauser of Google's Safeside Project. This is not an attack by itself, but there is a possibility it could be used in conjunction with side-channels or other weaknesses in the privileged code to construct an attack. This issue can be mitigated by flushing the L1 cache between privilege boundaries of concern. This patch series flushes the L1 cache on kernel entry (patch 2) and after the kernel performs any user accesses (patch 3). It also adds a self-test and performs some related cleanups" * tag 'powerpc-cve-2020-4788' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/powerpc/linux: powerpc/64s: rename pnv|pseries_setup_rfi_flush to _setup_security_mitigations selftests/powerpc: refactor entry and rfi_flush tests selftests/powerpc: entry flush test powerpc: Only include kup-radix.h for 64-bit Book3S powerpc/64s: flush L1D after user accesses powerpc/64s: flush L1D on kernel entry selftests/powerpc: rfi_flush: disable entry flush if present

As this is done in irq handling a crash might be the result. In order to avoid that, delay further inter-domain events after some time in xen_evtchn_do_upcall() by forcing eoi processing into a worker on the same cpu, thus inhibiting new events coming in. The time after which eoi processing is to be delayed is configurable via a new module parameter "event_loop_timeout" which specifies the maximum event loop time in jiffies (default: 2, the value was chosen after some tests showing that a value of 2 was the lowest with an only slight drop of dom0 network throughput while multiple guests performed an event storm). How long eoi processing will be delayed can be specified via another parameter "event_eoi_delay" (again in jiffies, default 10, again the value was chosen after testing with different delay values). This is part of XSA-332.

We are formally announcing the deprecation of the V4 filesystem format in 2030. All users must upgrade to the V5 format, which contains design improvements that greatly strengthen metadata validation, supports reflink and online fsck, and is the intended vehicle for handling timestamps past 2038. We're also deprecating the old Irix behavioral tweaks in September 2025. Coming along for the ride are two design changes to the deferred metadata ops subsystem. One of the improvements is to retain correct logical ordering of tasks and subtasks, which is a more logical design for upper layers of XFS and will become necessary when we add atomic file range swaps and commits. The second improvement to deferred ops improves the scalability of the log by helping the log tail to move forward during long-running operations. This reduces log contention when there are a large number of threads trying to run transactions. In addition to that, this fixes numerous small bugs in log recovery; refactors logical intent log item recovery to remove the last remaining place in XFS where we could have nested transactions; fixes a couple of ways that intent log item recovery could fail in ways that wouldn't have happened in the regular commit paths; fixes a deadlock vector in the GETFSMAP implementation (which improves its performance by 20%); and fixes serious bugs in the realtime growfs, fallocate, and bitmap handling code. Summary: - Deprecate the V4 filesystem format, some disused mount options, and some legacy sysctl knobs now that we can support dates into the 25th century. Note that removal of V4 support will not happen until the early 2030s. - Fix some probles with inode realtime flag propagation. - Fix some buffer handling issues when growing a rt filesystem. - Fix a problem where a BMAP_REMAP unmap call would free rt extents even though the purpose of BMAP_REMAP is to avoid freeing the blocks. - Strengthen the dabtree online scrubber to check hash values on child dabtree blocks. - Actually log new intent items created as part of recovering log intent items. - Fix a bug where quotas weren't attached to an inode undergoing bmap intent item recovery. - Fix a buffer overrun problem with specially crafted log buffer headers. - Various cleanups to type usage and slightly inaccurate comments. - More cleanups to the xattr, log, and quota code. - Don't run the (slower) shared-rmap operations on attr fork mappings. - Fix a bug where we failed to check the LSN of finobt blocks during replay and could therefore overwrite newer data with older data. - Clean up the ugly nested transaction mess that log recovery uses to stage intent item recovery in the correct order by creating a proper data structure to capture recovered chains. - Use the capture structure to resume intent item chains with the same log space and block reservations as when they were captured. - Fix a UAF bug in bmap intent item recovery where we failed to maintain our reference to the incore inode if the bmap operation needed to relog itself to continue. - Rearrange the defer ops mechanism to finish newly created subtasks of a parent task before moving on to the next parent task. - Automatically relog intent items in deferred ops chains if doing so would help us avoid pinning the log tail. This will help fix some log scaling problems now and will facilitate atomic file updates later. - Fix a deadlock in the GETFSMAP implementation by using an internal memory buffer to reduce indirect calls and copies to userspace, thereby improving its performance by ~20%. - Fix various problems when calling growfs on a realtime volume would not fully update the filesystem metadata. - Fix broken Kconfig asking about deprecated XFS when XFS is disabled" * tag 'xfs-5.10-merge-5' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/fs/xfs/xfs-linux: (48 commits) xfs: fix Kconfig asking about XFS_SUPPORT_V4 when XFS_FS=n xfs: fix high key handling in the rt allocator's query_range function xfs: annotate grabbing the realtime bitmap/summary locks in growfs xfs: make xfs_growfs_rt update secondary superblocks xfs: fix realtime bitmap/summary file truncation when growing rt volume xfs: fix the indent in xfs_trans_mod_dquot xfs: do the ASSERT for the arguments O_{u,g,p}dqpp xfs: fix deadlock and streamline xfs_getfsmap performance xfs: limit entries returned when counting fsmap records xfs: only relog deferred intent items if free space in the log gets low xfs: expose the log push threshold xfs: periodically relog deferred intent items xfs: change the order in which child and parent defer ops are finished xfs: fix an incore inode UAF in xfs_bui_recover xfs: clean up xfs_bui_item_recover iget/trans_alloc/ilock ordering xfs: clean up bmap intent item recovery checking xfs: xfs_defer_capture should absorb remaining transaction reservation xfs: xfs_defer_capture should absorb remaining block reservations xfs: proper replay of deferred ops queued during log recovery xfs: remove XFS_LI_RECOVERED ...

In addition, the format does not support dates past 2038 and will not be upgraded to do so. We should start the process of retiring the old format to close off attack surfaces and to encourage users to migrate onto V5. Therefore, make XFS V4 support a configurable option. For the first period it will be default Y in case some distributors want to withdraw support early; for the second period it will be default N so that anyone who wishes to continue support can do so; and after that, support will be removed from the kernel. Dates for these events have been added to the upstream kernel. Signed-off-by: Darrick J.

This commit therefore allows a delay to be applied to exit from RCU read-side critical sections. This slowdown is specified by a new rcutree.rcu_unlock_delay kernel boot parameter that specifies this delay in microseconds, defaulting to zero.

Well, this is broken on Sphinx 3.x. Also, for Sphinx 2.x, the automarkup macro should be able to take care of them. So, let's just drop those.

The goal of this series is to improve testing of fault-tolerance in usages of user memory access functions, by adding support for fault injection. syzkaller/syzbot are using the existing fault injection modes and will use this particular feature also. The first patch adds failure injection capability for usercopy functions. The second changes usercopy functions to use this new failure capability (copy_from_user, ...). The third patch adds get/put/clear_user failures to x86. This patch (of 3): Add a failure injection capability to improve testing of fault-tolerance in usages of user memory access functions. Add CONFIG_FAULT_INJECTION_USERCOPY to enable faults in usercopy functions. The should_fail_usercopy function is to be called by these functions (copy_from_user, get_user, ...) in order to fail or not.

Daniel reports ~10Gbps => ~15Gbps single stream TCP performance gain. - Expand netlink policy support and improve policy export to user space. (Ge)netlink core performs request validation according to declared policies. Expand the expressiveness of those policies (min/max length and bitmasks). Allow dumping policies for particular commands. This is used for feature discovery by user space (instead of kernel version parsing or trial and error). - Support IGMPv3/MLDv2 multicast listener discovery protocols in bridge. - Allow more than 255 IPv4 multicast interfaces. - Add support for Type of Service (ToS) reflection in SYN/SYN-ACK packets of TCPv6. - In Multi-patch TCP (MPTCP) support concurrent transmission of data on multiple subflows in a load balancing scenario. Enhance advertising addresses via the RM_ADDR/ADD_ADDR options. - Support SMC-Dv2 version of SMC, which enables multi-subnet deployments. - Allow more calls to same peer in RxRPC. - Support two new Controller Area Network (CAN) protocols - CAN-FD and ISO 15765-2:2016. - Add xfrm/IPsec compat layer, solving the 32bit user space on 64bit kernel problem. - Add TC actions for implementing MPLS L2 VPNs. - Improve nexthop code - e.g. handle various corner cases when nexthop objects are removed from groups better, skip unnecessary notifications and make it easier to offload nexthops into HW by converting to a blocking notifier. - Support adding and consuming TCP header options by BPF programs, opening the doors for easy experimental and deployment-specific TCP option use. - Reorganize TCP congestion control (CC) initialization to simplify life of TCP CC implemented in BPF. - Add support for shipping BPF programs with the kernel and loading them early on boot via the User Mode Driver mechanism, hence reusing all the user space infra we have. - Support sleepable BPF programs, initially targeting LSM and tracing. - Add bpf_d_path() helper for returning full path for given 'struct path'. - Make bpf_tail_call compatible with bpf-to-bpf calls. - Allow BPF programs to call map_update_elem on sockmaps. - Add BPF Type Format (BTF) support for type and enum discovery, as well as support for using BTF within the kernel itself (current use is for pretty printing structures). - Support listing and getting information about bpf_links via the bpf syscall. - Enhance kernel interfaces around NIC firmware update. Allow specifying overwrite mask to control if settings etc. are reset during update; report expected max time operation may take to users; support firmware activation without machine reboot incl. limits of how much impact reset may have (e.g. dropping link or not). - Extend ethtool configuration interface to report IEEE-standard counters, to limit the need for per-vendor logic in user space. - Adopt or extend devlink use for debug, monitoring, fw update in many drivers (dsa loop, ice, ionic, sja1105, qed, mlxsw, mv88e6xxx, dpaa2-eth). - In mlxsw expose critical and emergency SFP module temperature alarms. Refactor port buffer handling to make the defaults more suitable and support setting these values explicitly via the DCBNL interface. - Add XDP support for Intel's igb driver. - Support offloading TC flower classification and filtering rules to mscc_ocelot switches. - Add PTP support for Marvell Octeontx2 and PP2.2 hardware, as well as fixed interval period pulse generator and one-step timestamping in dpaa-eth. - Add support for various auth offloads in WiFi APs, e.g. SAE (WPA3) offload. - Add Lynx PHY/PCS MDIO module, and convert various drivers which have this HW to use it. Convert mvpp2 to split PCS. - Support Marvell Prestera 98DX3255 24-port switch ASICs, as well as 7-port Mediatek MT7531 IP. - Add initial support for QCA6390 and IPQ6018 in ath11k WiFi driver, and wcn3680 support in wcn36xx. - Improve performance for packets which don't require much offloads on recent Mellanox NICs by 20% by making multiple packets share a descriptor entry. - Move chelsio inline crypto drivers (for TLS and IPsec) from the crypto subtree to drivers/net. Move MDIO drivers out of the phy directory. - Clean up a lot of W=1 warnings, reportedly the actively developed subsections of networking drivers should now build W=1 warning free. - Make sure drivers don't use in_interrupt() to dynamically adapt their code. Convert tasklets to use new tasklet_setup API (sadly this conversion is not yet complete). * tag 'net-next-5.10' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/netdev/net-next: (2583 commits) Revert "bpfilter: Fix build error with CONFIG_BPFILTER_UMH" net, sockmap: Don't call bpf_prog_put() on NULL pointer bpf, selftest: Fix flaky tcp_hdr_options test when adding addr to lo bpf, sockmap: Add locking annotations to iterator netfilter: nftables: allow re-computing sctp CRC-32C in 'payload' statements net: fix pos incrementment in ipv6_route_seq_next net/smc: fix invalid return code in smcd_new_buf_create() net/smc: fix valid DMBE buffer sizes net/smc: fix use-after-free of delayed events bpfilter: Fix build error with CONFIG_BPFILTER_UMH cxgb4/ch_ipsec: Replace the module name to ch_ipsec from chcr net: sched: Fix suspicious RCU usage while accessing tcf_tunnel_info bpf: Fix register equivalence tracking. rxrpc: Fix loss of final ack on shutdown rxrpc: Fix bundle counting for exclusive connections netfilter: restore NF_INET_NUMHOOKS ibmveth: Identify ingress large send packets. ibmveth: Switch order of ibmveth_helper calls. cxgb4: handle 4-tuple PEDIT to NAT mode translation selftests: Add VRF route leaking tests ...
