Function rhashtable_walk_peek is problematic because there is no
guarantee that the glock previously returned still exists; when that key
is deleted, rhashtable_walk_peek can end up returning a different key,
which will cause an inconsistent glock dump. Fix this by keeping track
of the current glock in the seq file iterator functions instead.

This results in no change in structure size on 64-bit machines as it
fits in the padding between the gfp_t and the void *. 32-bit machines
will grow the structure from 8 to 12 bytes. Almost all radix trees are
protected with (at least) a spinlock, so as they are converted from
radix trees to xarrays, the data structures will shrink again.
Initialising the spinlock requires a name for the benefit of lockdep, so
RADIX_TREE_INIT() now needs to know the name of the radix tree it's
initialising, and so do IDR_INIT() and IDA_INIT().
Also add the xa_lock() and xa_unlock() family of wrappers to make it
easier to use the lock. If we could rely on -fplan9-extensions in the
compiler, we could avoid all of this syntactic sugar, but that wasn't
added until gcc 4.6.

Anshuman has reported that with "fs, elf: drop MAP_FIXED usage from
elf_map" applied, some ELF binaries in his environment fail to start
with
[ 23.423642] 9148 (sed): Uhuuh, elf segment at 0000000010030000 requested but the memory is mapped already
[ 23.423706] requested [10030000, 10040000] mapped [10030000, 10040000] 100073 anon
The reason is that the above binary has overlapping elf segments:
LOAD 0x0000000000000000 0x0000000010000000 0x0000000010000000
0x0000000000013a8c 0x0000000000013a8c R E 10000
LOAD 0x000000000001fd40 0x000000001002fd40 0x000000001002fd40
0x00000000000002c0 0x00000000000005e8 RW 10000
LOAD 0x0000000000020328 0x0000000010030328 0x0000000010030328
0x0000000000000384 0x00000000000094a0 RW 10000
That binary has two RW LOAD segments, the first crosses a page border
into the second
0x1002fd40 (LOAD2-vaddr) + 0x5e8 (LOAD2-memlen) == 0x10030328 (LOAD3-vaddr)
Handle this situation by enforcing MAP_FIXED when we establish a
temporary brk VMA to handle overlapping segments. All other mappings
will still use MAP_FIXED_NOREPLACE.

Both load_elf_interp and load_elf_binary rely on elf_map to map segments
on a controlled address and they use MAP_FIXED to enforce that. This is
however dangerous thing prone to silent data corruption which can be
even exploitable.
Let's take CVE-2017-1000253 as an example. At the time (before commit
eab09532d4: "binfmt_elf: use ELF_ET_DYN_BASE only for PIE")
ELF_ET_DYN_BASE was at TASK_SIZE / 3 * 2 which is not that far away from
the stack top on 32b (legacy) memory layout (only 1GB away). Therefore
we could end up mapping over the existing stack with some luck.
The issue has been fixed since then (a87938b2e2: "fs/binfmt_elf.c: fix
bug in loading of PIE binaries"), ELF_ET_DYN_BASE moved moved much
further from the stack (eab09532d4 and later by c715b72c1b: "mm:
revert x86_64 and arm64 ELF_ET_DYN_BASE base changes") and excessive
stack consumption early during execve fully stopped by da029c11e6
("exec: Limit arg stack to at most 75% of _STK_LIM"). So we should be
safe and any attack should be impractical. On the other hand this is
just too subtle assumption so it can break quite easily and hard to
spot.
I believe that the MAP_FIXED usage in load_elf_binary (et. al) is still
fundamentally dangerous. Moreover it shouldn't be even needed. We are
at the early process stage and so there shouldn't be unrelated mappings
(except for stack and loader) existing so mmap for a given address should
succeed even without MAP_FIXED. Something is terribly wrong if this is
not the case and we should rather fail than silently corrupt the
underlying mapping.
Address this issue by changing MAP_FIXED to the newly added
MAP_FIXED_NOREPLACE. This will mean that mmap will fail if there is an
existing mapping clashing with the requested one without clobbering it.

As previously reported (https://patchwork.kernel.org/patch/8642031/)
it's possible to call shrink_dentry_list with a large number of dentries
(> 10000). This, in turn, could trigger the softlockup detector and
possibly trigger a panic. In addition to the unmount path being
vulnerable to this scenario, at SuSE we've observed similar situation
happening during process exit on processes that touch a lot of dentries.
Here is an excerpt from a crash dump. The number after the colon are
the number of dentries on the list passed to shrink_dentry_list:
PID 99760: 10722
PID 107530: 215
PID 108809: 24134
PID 108877: 21331
PID 141708: 16487
So we want to kill between 15k-25k dentries without yielding.
And one possible call stack looks like:
4 [ffff8839ece41db0] _raw_spin_lock at ffffffff8152a5f8
5 [ffff8839ece41db0] evict at ffffffff811c3026
6 [ffff8839ece41dd0] __dentry_kill at ffffffff811bf258
7 [ffff8839ece41df0] shrink_dentry_list at ffffffff811bf593
8 [ffff8839ece41e18] shrink_dcache_parent at ffffffff811bf830
9 [ffff8839ece41e50] proc_flush_task at ffffffff8120dd61
10 [ffff8839ece41ec0] release_task at ffffffff81059ebd
11 [ffff8839ece41f08] do_exit at ffffffff8105b8ce
12 [ffff8839ece41f78] sys_exit at ffffffff8105bd53
13 [ffff8839ece41f80] system_call_fastpath at ffffffff81532909
While some of the callers of shrink_dentry_list do use cond_resched,
this is not sufficient to prevent softlockups. So just move
cond_resched into shrink_dentry_list from its callers.
David said: I've found hundreds of occurrences of warnings that we emit
when need_resched stays set for a prolonged period of time with the
stack trace that is included in the change log.

Patch series "ipc: Clamp *mni to the real IPCMNI limit", v3.
The sysctl parameters msgmni, shmmni and semmni have an inherent limit
of IPC_MNI (32k). However, users may not be aware of that because they
can write a value much higher than that without getting any error or
notification. Reading the parameters back will show the newly written
values which are not real.
Enforcing the limit by failing sysctl parameter write, however, can
break existing user applications. To address this delemma, a new flags
field is introduced into the ctl_table. The value CTL_FLAGS_CLAMP_RANGE
can be added to any ctl_table entries to enable a looser range clamping
without returning any error. For example,

This flags value are now used for the range checking of shmmni, msgmni
and semmni without breaking existing applications. If any out of range
value is written to those sysctl parameters, the following warning will
be printed instead.
Kernel parameter "shmmni" was set out of range [0, 32768], clamped to 32768.
Reading the values back will show 32768 instead of some fake values.

Since the stack rlimit is used in multiple places during exec and it can
be changed via other threads (via setrlimit()) or processes (via
prlimit()), the assumption that the value doesn't change cannot be made.
This leads to races with mm layout selection and argument size
calculations. This changes the exec path to use the rlimit stored in
bprm instead of in current. Before starting the thread, the bprm stack
rlimit is stored back to current.

Patch series "exec: Pin stack limit during exec".
Attempts to solve problems with the stack limit changing during exec
continue to be frustrated[1][2]. In addition to the specific issues
around the Stack Clash family of flaws, Andy Lutomirski pointed out[3]
other places during exec where the stack limit is used and is assumed to
be unchanging. Given the many places it gets used and the fact that it
can be manipulated/raced via setrlimit() and prlimit(), I think the only
way to handle this is to move away from the "current" view of the stack
limit and instead attach it to the bprm, and plumb this down into the
functions that need to know the stack limits. This series implements
the approach.
[1] 04e35f4495 ("exec: avoid RLIMIT_STACK races with prlimit()")
[2] 779f4e1c6c ("Revert "exec: avoid RLIMIT_STACK races with prlimit()"")
[3] to security@kernel.org, "Subject: existing rlimit races?"
This patch (of 3):
Since it is possible that the stack rlimit can change externally during
exec (either via another thread calling setrlimit() or another process
calling prlimit()), provide a way to pass the rlimit down into the
per-architecture mm layout functions so that the rlimit can stay in the
bprm structure instead of sitting in the signal structure until exec is
finalized.

In a typical for /proc "open+read+close" usecase, dentry is looked up
successfully on open only to be killed in dput() on close. In fact
dentries which aren't /proc/*/... and /proc/sys/* were almost NEVER
CACHED. Simple printk in proc_lookup_de() shows that.
Now that ->delete hook intelligently picks which dentries should live in
dcache and which should not, rbtree caching is not necessary as dcache
does it job, at last!
As a side effect, struct proc_dir_entry shrinks by one pointer which can
go into inline name.

"struct proc_dir_entry" is variable sized because of 0-length trailing

possible to make "struct proc_dir_entry" fixed sized and allocate same
amount of memory.
It buys fine-grained debugging with poisoning and usercopy protection
which is not possible with kmalloc-* caches.
Currently, on 32-bit 91+ byte allocations go into kmalloc-128 and on
64-bit 147+ byte allocations go to kmalloc-192 anyway.
Additional memory is allocated only for 38/46+ byte long names which are
rare or may not even exist in the wild.

I received a report about suspicious growth of unreclaimable slabs on
some machines. I've found that it happens on machines with low memory
pressure, and these unreclaimable slabs are external names attached to
dentries.
External names are allocated using generic kmalloc() function, so they
are accounted as unreclaimable. But they are held by dentries, which
are reclaimable, and they will be reclaimed under the memory pressure.
In particular, this breaks MemAvailable calculation, as it doesn't take
unreclaimable slabs into account. This leads to a silly situation, when
a machine is almost idle, has no memory pressure and therefore has a big
dentry cache. And the resulting MemAvailable is too low to start a new
workload.
To address the issue, the NR_INDIRECTLY_RECLAIMABLE_BYTES counter is
used to track the amount of memory, consumed by external names. The
counter is increased in the dentry allocation path, if an external name
structure is allocated; and it's decreased in the dentry freeing path.
To reproduce the problem I've used the following Python script:
import os
for iter in range (0, 10000000):
try:
name = ("/some_long_name_%d" % iter) + "_" * 220
os.stat(name)
except Exception:
pass
Without this patch:
$ cat /proc/meminfo | grep MemAvailable
MemAvailable: 7811688 kB
$ python indirect.py
$ cat /proc/meminfo | grep MemAvailable
MemAvailable: 2753052 kB
With the patch:
$ cat /proc/meminfo | grep MemAvailable
MemAvailable: 7809516 kB
$ python indirect.py
$ cat /proc/meminfo | grep MemAvailable
MemAvailable: 7749144 kB
