9f64fbdb77 bpfilter: document build requirements for bpfilter_umh
It's not intuitively obvious that bpfilter_umh is a statically linked binary.
Mention the toolchain requirement in the Kconfig help, so people
have an easier time figuring out what's needed.

8a2cc0505c bpfilter: use 'userprogs' syntax to build bpfilter_umh
The user mode helper should be compiled for the same architecture as
the kernel.

This Makefile reused the 'hostprogs' syntax by overriding HOSTCC with CC.
Use the new syntax 'userprogs' to fix the Makefile mess.

b1183b6dca bpfilter: check if $(CC) can link static libc in Kconfig
On Fedora, linking static glibc requires the glibc-static RPM package,
which is not part of the glibc-devel package.

CONFIG_CC_CAN_LINK does not check the capability of static linking,
so you can enable CONFIG_BPFILTER_UMH, then fail to build:

    HOSTLD  net/bpfilter/bpfilter_umh
  /usr/bin/ld: cannot find -lc
  collect2: error: ld returned 1 exit status

Add CONFIG_CC_CAN_LINK_STATIC, and make CONFIG_BPFILTER_UMH depend
on it.

9371f86ecb bpfilter: match bit size of bpfilter_umh to that of the kernel
bpfilter_umh is built for the default machine bit of the compiler,
which may not match to the bit size of the kernel.

This happens in the scenario below:

You can use biarch GCC that defaults to 64-bit for building the 32-bit
kernel. In this case, Kbuild passes -m32 to teach the compiler to
produce 32-bit kernel space objects. However, it is missing when
building bpfilter_umh. It is built as a 64-bit ELF, and then embedded
into the 32-bit kernel.

The 32-bit kernel and 64-bit umh is a bad combination.

In theory, we can have 32-bit umh running on 64-bit kernel, but we do
not have a good reason to support such a usecase.

The best is to match the bit size between them.

Pass -m32 or -m64 to the umh build command if it is found in
$(KBUILD_CFLAGS). Evaluate CC_CAN_LINK against the kernel bit-size.

ff2ae607c6 SPDX patches for 5.7-rc1.
Here are 3 SPDX patches for 5.7-rc1.
 
 One fixes up the SPDX tag for a single driver, while the other two go
 through the tree and add SPDX tags for all of the .gitignore files as
 needed.
 
 Nothing too complex, but you will get a merge conflict with your current
 tree, that should be trivial to handle (one file modified by two things,
 one file deleted.)
 
 All 3 of these have been in linux-next for a while, with no reported
 issues other than the merge conflict.

A testing message was brought by 13d0f7b814 ("net/bpfilter: fix dprintf

Although it doesn't cause any harm to the code or functionality itself, it's

13d0f7b814 net/bpfilter: fix dprintf usage for /dev/kmsg
The bpfilter UMH code was recently changed to log its informative messages to
/dev/kmsg, however this interface doesn't support SEEK_CUR yet, used by
dprintf(). As result dprintf() returns -EINVAL and doesn't log anything.

However there already had some discussions about supporting SEEK_CUR into
/dev/kmsg interface in the past it wasn't concluded. Since the only user of
that from userspace perspective inside the kernel is the bpfilter UMH
(userspace) module it's better to correct it here instead waiting a conclusion
on the interface.

5f2fb52fac kbuild: rename hostprogs-y/always to hostprogs/always-y
In old days, the "host-progs" syntax was used for specifying host
programs. It was renamed to the current "hostprogs-y" in 2004.

It is typically useful in scripts/Makefile because it allows Kbuild to
selectively compile host programs based on the kernel configuration.

This commit renames like follows:

  always       ->  always-y
  hostprogs-y  ->  hostprogs

So, scripts/Makefile will look like this:

  always-$(CONFIG_BUILD_BIN2C) += ...
  always-$(CONFIG_KALLSYMS)    += ...
      ...
  hostprogs := $(always-y) $(always-m)

I think this makes more sense because a host program is always a host
program, irrespective of the kernel configuration. We want to specify
which ones to compile by CONFIG options, so always-y will be handier.

The "always", "hostprogs-y", "hostprogs-m" will be kept for backward
compatibility for a while.

Pull force_sig() argument change from Eric Biederman:
 "A source of error over the years has been that force_sig has taken a
  task parameter when it is only safe to use force_sig with the current
  task.

  The force_sig function is built for delivering synchronous signals
  such as SIGSEGV where the userspace application caused a synchronous
  fault (such as a page fault) and the kernel responded with a signal.

  Because the name force_sig does not make this clear, and because the
  force_sig takes a task parameter the function force_sig has been
  abused for sending other kinds of signals over the years. Slowly those
  have been fixed when the oopses have been tracked down.

  This set of changes fixes the remaining abusers of force_sig and
  carefully rips out the task parameter from force_sig and friends
  making this kind of error almost impossible in the future"

1dfd1711de signal/bpfilter: Fix bpfilter_kernl to use send_sig not force_sig
The locking in force_sig_info is not prepared to deal with
a task that exits or execs (as sighand may change).  As force_sig
is only built to handle synchronous exceptions.

Further the function force_sig_info changes the signal state if the
signal is ignored, or blocked or if SIGNAL_UNKILLABLE will prevent the
delivery of the signal.  The signal SIGKILL can not be ignored and can
not be blocked and SIGNAL_UNKILLABLE won't prevent it from being
delivered.

So using force_sig rather than send_sig for SIGKILL is pointless.

Because it won't impact the sending of the signal and and because
using force_sig is wrong, replace force_sig with send_sig.

9cc342f6c4 treewide: prefix header search paths with $(srctree)/
Currently, the Kbuild core manipulates header search paths in a crazy
way [1].

To fix this mess, I want all Makefiles to add explicit $(srctree)/ to
the search paths in the srctree. Some Makefiles are already written in
that way, but not all. The goal of this work is to make the notation
consistent, and finally get rid of the gross hacks.

Having whitespaces after -I does not matter since commit 48f6e3cf5b

71a8508402 net: bpfilter: disallow to remove bpfilter module while being used
The bpfilter.ko module can be removed while functions of the bpfilter.ko
are executing. so panic can occurred. in order to protect that, locks can
be used. a bpfilter_lock protects routines in the
__bpfilter_process_sockopt() but it's not enough because __exit routine
can be executed concurrently.

Now, the bpfilter_umh can not run in parallel.
So, the module do not removed while it's being used and it do not
double-create UMH process.
The members of the umh_info and the bpfilter_umh_ops are protected by
the bpfilter_umh_ops.lock.

test commands:
   while :
   do
	iptables -I FORWARD -m string --string ap --algo kmp &
	modprobe -rv bpfilter &
   done

61fbf5933d net: bpfilter: restart bpfilter_umh when error occurred
The bpfilter_umh will be stopped via __stop_umh() when the bpfilter
error occurred.
The bpfilter_umh() couldn't start again because there is no restart
routine.

The section of the bpfilter_umh_{start/end} is no longer .init.rodata
because these area should be reused in the restart routine. hence
the section name is changed to .bpfilter_umh.

The bpfilter_ops->start() is restart callback. it will be called when
bpfilter_umh is stopped.
The stop bit means bpfilter_umh is stopped. this bit is set by both
start and stop routine.

Before this patch,
Test commands:
   $ iptables -vnL
   $ kill -9 <pid of bpfilter_umh>
   $ iptables -vnL
   [  480.045136] bpfilter: write fail -32
   $ iptables -vnL

All iptables commands will fail.

After this patch,
Test commands:
   $ iptables -vnL
   $ kill -9 <pid of bpfilter_umh>
   $ iptables -vnL
   $ iptables -vnL

Now, all iptables commands will work.

84258438e8 net: bpfilter: use get_pid_task instead of pid_task
pid_task() dereferences rcu protected tasks array.
But there is no rcu_read_lock() in shutdown_umh() routine so that
rcu_read_lock() is needed.
get_pid_task() is wrapper function of pid_task. it holds rcu_read_lock()
then calls pid_task(). if task isn't NULL, it increases reference count
of task.

   %modprobe bpfilter

sleep on the same mutex. Then former cpu sees that umh pipe is down and
shuts down the pipes. Later cpu finally acquires the mutex and crashes

Fix the race by using info.pid as an indicator that umh and pipes are healthy
and check it after acquiring the mutex.

d71dbdaa2d bpfilter: fix building without CONFIG_INET
bpfilter_process_sockopt is a callback that gets called from
ip_setsockopt() and ip_getsockopt(). However, when CONFIG_INET is
disabled, it never gets called at all, and assigning a function to the
callback pointer results in a link failure:

net/bpfilter/bpfilter_kern.o: In function `__stop_umh':
bpfilter_kern.c:(.text.unlikely+0x3): undefined reference to `bpfilter_process_sockopt'
net/bpfilter/bpfilter_kern.o: In function `load_umh':
bpfilter_kern.c:(.init.text+0x73): undefined reference to `bpfilter_process_sockopt'

Since there is no caller in this configuration, I assume we can
simply make the assignment conditional.

13405468f4 bpfilter: don't pass O_CREAT when opening console for debug
Passing O_CREAT (00000100) to open means we should also pass file
mode as the third parameter.  Creating /dev/console as a regular
file may not be helpful anyway, so simply drop the flag when
opening debug_fd.

d2ba09c17a net: add skeleton of bpfilter kernel module
bpfilter.ko consists of bpfilter_kern.c (normal kernel module code)
and user mode helper code that is embedded into bpfilter.ko

The steps to build bpfilter.ko are the following:
- main.c is compiled by HOSTCC into the bpfilter_umh elf executable file
- with quite a bit of objcopy and Makefile magic the bpfilter_umh elf file
  is converted into bpfilter_umh.o object file
  with _binary_net_bpfilter_bpfilter_umh_start and _end symbols
  Example:
  $ nm ./bld_x64/net/bpfilter/bpfilter_umh.o
  0000000000004cf8 T _binary_net_bpfilter_bpfilter_umh_end
  0000000000004cf8 A _binary_net_bpfilter_bpfilter_umh_size
  0000000000000000 T _binary_net_bpfilter_bpfilter_umh_start
- bpfilter_umh.o and bpfilter_kern.o are linked together into bpfilter.ko

bpfilter_kern.c is a normal kernel module code that calls
the fork_usermode_blob() helper to execute part of its own data
as a user mode process.

Notice that _binary_net_bpfilter_bpfilter_umh_start - end
is placed into .init.rodata section, so it's freed as soon as __init
function of bpfilter.ko is finished.
As part of __init the bpfilter.ko does first request/reply action
via two unix pipe provided by fork_usermode_blob() helper to
make sure that umh is healthy. If not it will kill it via pid.

Later bpfilter_process_sockopt() will be called from bpfilter hooks
in get/setsockopt() to pass iptable commands into umh via bpfilter.ko

If admin does 'rmmod bpfilter' the __exit code bpfilter.ko will
kill umh as well.
