<id>urn:sha1:58c03ca6d90b2a2d19efefd87c542db54120dd89</id>
<content type='text'>
commit 030f653078316a9cc9ca6bd1b0234dcf858be35d upstream.

I was debugging some crashes on parisc and I found out that there is a
crash possibility if a function using alloca is interrupted by a signal.
The reason for the crash is that the gcc alloca implementation leaves
garbage in the upper 32 bits of the sp register. This normally doesn't
matter (the upper bits are ignored because the PSW W-bit is clear),
however the signal delivery routine in the kernel uses full 64 bits of sp
and it fails with -EFAULT if the upper 32 bits are not zero.

I created this program that demonstrates the problem:

#include &lt;stdlib.h&gt;
#include &lt;unistd.h&gt;
#include &lt;signal.h&gt;
#include &lt;alloca.h&gt;

static __attribute__((noinline,noclone)) void aa(int *size)
{
	void * volatile p = alloca(-*size);
	while (1) ;
}

static void handler(int sig)
{
	write(1, "signal delivered\n", 17);
	_exit(0);
}

int main(void)
{
	int size = -0x100;
	signal(SIGALRM, handler);
	alarm(1);
	aa(&amp;size);
}

If you compile it with optimizations, it will crash.
The "aa" function has this disassembly:

000106a0 &lt;aa&gt;:
   106a0:       08 03 02 41     copy r3,r1
   106a4:       08 1e 02 43     copy sp,r3
   106a8:       6f c1 00 80     stw,ma r1,40(sp)
   106ac:       37 dc 3f c1     ldo -20(sp),ret0
   106b0:       0c 7c 12 90     stw ret0,8(r3)
   106b4:       0f 40 10 9c     ldw 0(r26),ret0		; ret0 = 0x00000000FFFFFF00
   106b8:       97 9c 00 7e     subi 3f,ret0,ret0	; ret0 = 0xFFFFFFFF0000013F
   106bc:       d7 80 1c 1a     depwi 0,31,6,ret0	; ret0 = 0xFFFFFFFF00000100
   106c0:       0b 9e 0a 1e     add,l sp,ret0,sp	;   sp = 0xFFFFFFFFxxxxxxxx
   106c4:       e8 1f 1f f7     b,l,n 106c4 &lt;aa+0x24&gt;,r0

This patch fixes the bug by truncating the "usp" variable to 32 bits.

commit f6a3308d6feb351d9854eb8b3f6289a1ac163125 upstream.

This reverts commit 83af58f8068ea3f7b3c537c37a30887bfa585069.

It turns out that at least the assembly implementation for strncpy() was
buggy.  Revert the whole commit and return back to the default coding.

<title>sched/core: Initialize the idle task with preemption disabled</title>

[ Upstream commit f1a0a376ca0c4ef1fc3d24e3e502acbb5b795674 ]

As pointed out by commit

  de9b8f5dcbd9 ("sched: Fix crash trying to dequeue/enqueue the idle thread")

init_idle() can and will be invoked more than once on the same idle
task. At boot time, it is invoked for the boot CPU thread by
sched_init(). Then smp_init() creates the threads for all the secondary
CPUs and invokes init_idle() on them.

As the hotplug machinery brings the secondaries to life, it will issue
calls to idle_thread_get(), which itself invokes init_idle() yet again.
In this case it's invoked twice more per secondary: at _cpu_up(), and at
bringup_cpu().

Given smp_init() already initializes the idle tasks for all *possible*
CPUs, no further initialization should be required. Now, removing
init_idle() from idle_thread_get() exposes some interesting expectations
with regards to the idle task's preempt_count: the secondary startup always
issues a preempt_disable(), requiring some reset of the preempt count to 0
between hot-unplug and hotplug, which is currently served by
idle_thread_get() -&gt; idle_init().

Given the idle task is supposed to have preemption disabled once and never
see it re-enabled, it seems that what we actually want is to initialize its
preempt_count to PREEMPT_DISABLED and leave it there. Do that, and remove
init_idle() from idle_thread_get().

Secondary startups were patched via coccinelle:

  @begone@
  @@

  -preempt_disable();
  ...
  cpu_startup_entry(CPUHP_AP_ONLINE_IDLE);

<content type='text'>
In commit fa8b90070a80 ("quota: wire up quotactl_path") we have wired up
new quotactl_path syscall. However some people in LWN discussion have
objected that the path based syscall is missing dirfd and flags argument
which is mostly standard for contemporary path based syscalls. Indeed
they have a point and after a discussion with Christian Brauner and
Sascha Hauer I've decided to disable the syscall for now and update its
API. Since there is no userspace currently using that syscall and it
hasn't been released in any major release, we should be fine.

Pull Landlock LSM from James Morris:
 "Add Landlock, a new LSM from Mickaël Salaün.

  Briefly, Landlock provides for unprivileged application sandboxing.

  From Mickaël's cover letter:
    "The goal of Landlock is to enable to restrict ambient rights (e.g.
     global filesystem access) for a set of processes. Because Landlock
     is a stackable LSM [1], it makes possible to create safe security
     sandboxes as new security layers in addition to the existing
     system-wide access-controls. This kind of sandbox is expected to
     help mitigate the security impact of bugs or unexpected/malicious
     behaviors in user-space applications. Landlock empowers any
     process, including unprivileged ones, to securely restrict
     themselves.

     Landlock is inspired by seccomp-bpf but instead of filtering
     syscalls and their raw arguments, a Landlock rule can restrict the
     use of kernel objects like file hierarchies, according to the
     kernel semantic. Landlock also takes inspiration from other OS
     sandbox mechanisms: XNU Sandbox, FreeBSD Capsicum or OpenBSD
     Pledge/Unveil.

     In this current form, Landlock misses some access-control features.
     This enables to minimize this patch series and ease review. This
     series still addresses multiple use cases, especially with the
     combined use of seccomp-bpf: applications with built-in sandboxing,
     init systems, security sandbox tools and security-oriented APIs [2]"
