<id>urn:sha1:27f9070614aa5f05dc00e06bc288ac9e0ca7d430</id>
<content type='text'>
commit 1be7107fbe18eed3e319a6c3e83c78254b693acb upstream.

Stack guard page is a useful feature to reduce a risk of stack smashing
into a different mapping. We have been using a single page gap which
is sufficient to prevent having stack adjacent to a different mapping.
But this seems to be insufficient in the light of the stack usage in
userspace. E.g. glibc uses as large as 64kB alloca() in many commonly
used functions. Others use constructs liks gid_t buffer[NGROUPS_MAX]
which is 256kB or stack strings with MAX_ARG_STRLEN.

This will become especially dangerous for suid binaries and the default
no limit for the stack size limit because those applications can be
tricked to consume a large portion of the stack and a single glibc call
could jump over the guard page. These attacks are not theoretical,
unfortunatelly.

Make those attacks less probable by increasing the stack guard gap
to 1MB (on systems with 4k pages; but make it depend on the page size
because systems with larger base pages might cap stack allocations in
the PAGE_SIZE units) which should cover larger alloca() and VLA stack
allocations. It is obviously not a full fix because the problem is
somehow inherent, but it should reduce attack space a lot.

One could argue that the gap size should be configurable from userspace,
but that can be done later when somebody finds that the new 1MB is wrong
for some special case applications.  For now, add a kernel command line
option (stack_guard_gap) to specify the stack gap size (in page units).

Implementation wise, first delete all the old code for stack guard page:
because although we could get away with accounting one extra page in a
stack vma, accounting a larger gap can break userspace - case in point,
a program run with "ulimit -S -v 20000" failed when the 1MB gap was
counted for RLIMIT_AS; similar problems could come with RLIMIT_MLOCK
and strict non-overcommit mode.

Instead of keeping gap inside the stack vma, maintain the stack guard
gap as a gap between vmas: using vm_start_gap() in place of vm_start
(or vm_end_gap() in place of vm_end if VM_GROWSUP) in just those few
places which need to respect the gap - mainly arch_get_unmapped_area(),
and and the vma tree's subtree_gap support for that.

Create a trivial placeholder &lt;linux/sched/task.h&gt; file that just

Include the new header in the files that are going to need it.

We are going to split more MM APIs out of &lt;linux/sched.h&gt;, which
will have to be picked up from a couple of .c files.

The APIs that we are going to move are:

  arch_pick_mmap_layout()
  arch_get_unmapped_area()
  arch_get_unmapped_area_topdown()
  mm_update_next_owner()

Include the header in the files that are going to need it.

Pull rdma DMA mapping updates from Doug Ledford:
 "Drop IB DMA mapping code and use core DMA code instead.

  Bart Van Assche noted that the ib DMA mapping code was significantly
  similar enough to the core DMA mapping code that with a few changes it
  was possible to remove the IB DMA mapping code entirely and switch the
  RDMA stack to use the core DMA mapping code.

  This resulted in a nice set of cleanups, but touched the entire tree
  and has been kept separate for that reason."

<title>sh: migrate exception table users off module.h and onto extable.h</title>

<content type='text'>
These files were only including module.h for exception table
related functions.  We've now separated that content out into its
own file "extable.h" so now move over to that and avoid all the
extra header content in module.h that we don't really need to compile
these files.

One uses "print_modules" so that prevents us removing module.h in
that case, however.

We also delete a duplicate prototype that doesn't need to exist, as
it duplicates content in extable.h

<title>treewide: Constify most dma_map_ops structures</title>

Most dma_map_ops structures are never modified. Constify these
structures such that these can be write-protected. This patch
has been generated as follows:

This removes the 'write' and 'force' use from get_user_pages_unlocked()
and replaces them with 'gup_flags' to make the use of FOLL_FORCE
explicit in callers as use of this flag can result in surprising
behaviour (and hence bugs) within the mm subsystem.
