clocksource: Use a plain u64 instead of cycle_t

2016-12-25T10:04:12+00:00

There is no point in having an extra type for extra confusion. u64 is unambiguous. Conversion was done with the following coccinelle script: @rem@ @@ -typedef u64 cycle_t; @fix@ typedef cycle_t; @@ -cycle_t +u64 Signed-off-by: Thomas Gleixner Cc: Peter Zijlstra Cc: John Stultz

Replace with globally

2016-12-24T19:46:01+00:00

This was entirely automated, using the script by Al: PATT='^[[:blank:]]*#[[:blank:]]*include[[:blank:]]*' sed -i -e "s!$PATT!#include !" \ $(git grep -l "$PATT"|grep -v ^include/linux/uaccess.h) to do the replacement at the end of the merge window.

Pull namespace updates from Eric Biederman: "After a lot of discussion and work we have finally reachanged a basic understanding of what is necessary to make unprivileged mounts safe in the presence of EVM and IMA xattrs which the last commit in this series reflects. While technically it is a revert the comments it adds are important for people not getting confused in the future. Clearing up that confusion allows us to seriously work on unprivileged mounts of fuse in the next development cycle. The rest of the fixes in this set are in the intersection of user namespaces, ptrace, and exec. I started with the first fix which started a feedback cycle of finding additional issues during review and fixing them. Culiminating in a fix for a bug that has been present since at least Linux v1.0. Potentially these fixes were candidates for being merged during the rc cycle, and are certainly backport candidates but enough little things turned up during review and testing that I decided they should be handled as part of the normal development process just to be certain there were not any great surprises when it came time to backport some of these fixes" * 'for-linus' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/ebiederm/user-namespace: Revert "evm: Translate user/group ids relative to s_user_ns when computing HMAC" exec: Ensure mm->user_ns contains the execed files ptrace: Don't allow accessing an undumpable mm ptrace: Capture the ptracer's creds not PT_PTRACE_CAP mm: Add a user_ns owner to mm_struct and fix ptrace permission checks

Pull smp hotplug updates from Thomas Gleixner: "This is the final round of converting the notifier mess to the state machine. The removal of the notifiers and the related infrastructure will happen around rc1, as there are conversions outstanding in other trees. The whole exercise removed about 2000 lines of code in total and in course of the conversion several dozen bugs got fixed. The new mechanism allows to test almost every hotplug step standalone, so usage sites can exercise all transitions extensively. There is more room for improvement, like integrating all the pointlessly different architecture mechanisms of synchronizing, setting cpus online etc into the core code" * 'smp-hotplug-for-linus' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/tip/tip: (60 commits) tracing/rb: Init the CPU mask on allocation soc/fsl/qbman: Convert to hotplug state machine soc/fsl/qbman: Convert to hotplug state machine zram: Convert to hotplug state machine KVM/PPC/Book3S HV: Convert to hotplug state machine arm64/cpuinfo: Convert to hotplug state machine arm64/cpuinfo: Make hotplug notifier symmetric mm/compaction: Convert to hotplug state machine iommu/vt-d: Convert to hotplug state machine mm/zswap: Convert pool to hotplug state machine mm/zswap: Convert dst-mem to hotplug state machine mm/zsmalloc: Convert to hotplug state machine mm/vmstat: Convert to hotplug state machine mm/vmstat: Avoid on each online CPU loops mm/vmstat: Drop get_online_cpus() from init_cpu_node_state/vmstat_cpu_dead() tracing/rb: Convert to hotplug state machine oprofile/nmi timer: Convert to hotplug state machine net/iucv: Use explicit clean up labels in iucv_init() x86/pci/amd-bus: Convert to hotplug state machine x86/oprofile/nmi: Convert to hotplug state machine ...

ptrace: Don't allow accessing an undumpable mm

2016-11-22T18:57:38+00:00

It is the reasonable expectation that if an executable file is not readable there will be no way for a user without special privileges to read the file. This is enforced in ptrace_attach but if ptrace is already attached before exec there is no enforcement for read-only executables. As the only way to read such an mm is through access_process_vm spin a variant called ptrace_access_vm that will fail if the target process is not being ptraced by the current process, or the current process did not have sufficient privileges when ptracing began to read the target processes mm. In the ptrace implementations replace access_process_vm by ptrace_access_vm. There remain several ptrace sites that still use access_process_vm as they are reading the target executables instructions (for kernel consumption) or register stacks. As such it does not appear necessary to add a permission check to those calls. This bug has always existed in Linux.

sched/cputime, powerpc, s390: Make scaled cputime arch specific

2016-11-15T08:51:05+00:00

Only s390 and powerpc have hardware facilities allowing to measure cputimes scaled by frequency. On all other architectures utimescaled/stimescaled are equal to utime/stime (however they are accounted separately). Remove {u,s}timescaled accounting on all architectures except powerpc and s390, where those values are explicitly accounted in the proper places.
