| * | dm verity: Add support for signature verification with 2nd keyringMickaël Salaün2020-12-051-1/+6
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Add a new configuration DM_VERITY_VERIFY_ROOTHASH_SIG_SECONDARY_KEYRING to enable dm-verity signatures to be verified against the secondary trusted keyring. Instead of relying on the builtin trusted keyring (with hard-coded certificates), the second trusted keyring can include certificate authorities from the builtin trusted keyring and child certificates loaded at run time. Using the secondary trusted keyring enables to use dm-verity disks (e.g. loop devices) signed by keys which did not exist at kernel build time, leveraging the certificate chain of trust model. In practice, this makes it possible to update certificates without kernel update and reboot, aligning with module and kernel (kexec) signature verification which already use the secondary trusted keyring.

For now, the only supported value is "protected". By passing this flag users opt into the hypervisor placing additional restrictions on the host kernel. These allow the hypervisor to spawn guests whose state is kept private from the host. Restrictions will include stage-2 address translation to prevent host from accessing guest memory, filtering its SMC calls, etc. Without this parameter, the default behaviour remains selecting VHE/nVHE based on hardware support and CONFIG_ARM64_VHE.

According to https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_WiMAX_networks, there have been many public wimax networks, but it appears that many of these have migrated to LTE or discontinued their service altogether. As most PCs and phones lack WiMAX hardware support, the remaining networks tend to use standalone routers. These almost certainly run Linux, but not a modern kernel or the mainline wimax driver stack. NetworkManager appears to have dropped userspace support in 2015 https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=747846, the www.linuxwimax.org site had already shut down earlier. WiMax is apparently still being deployed on airport campus networks ("AeroMACS"), but in a frequency band that was not supported by the old Intel 2400m (used in Sandy Bridge laptops and earlier), which is the only driver using the kernel's wimax stack. Move all files into drivers/staging/wimax, including the uapi header files and documentation, to make it easier to remove it when it gets to that. Only minimal changes are made to the source files, in order to make it possible to port patches across the move. Also remove the MAINTAINERS entry that refers to a broken mailing list and website.

It's also good indication to see how zram is effective in the system.

| * | | | | | | | userfaultfd: add user-mode only option to unprivileged_userfaultfd sysctl knobLokesh Gidra2020-12-151-5/+10

In this mode, an unprivileged user (without SYS_CAP_PTRACE capability) must pass UFFD_USER_MODE_ONLY to userfaultd or the API will fail with EPERM. This enables administrators to reduce the likelihood that an attacker with access to userfaultfd can delay faulting kernel code to widen timing windows for other exploits. The default value of this knob is changed to 0. This is required for correct functioning of pipe mutex. However, this will fail postcopy live migration, which will be unnoticeable to the VM guests. To avoid this, set 'vm.userfault = 1' in /sys/sysctl.conf. The main reason this change is desirable as in the short term is that the Android userland will behave as with the sysctl set to zero. So without this commit, any Linux binary using userfaultfd to manage its memory would behave differently if run within the Android userland. For more details, refer to Andrea's reply [1].

We already track and export anon_thp per cgroup. We already track file THP and shmem THP per node, so making them per-cgroup is only a matter of switching from node to lruvec counters. All callsites are in places where the pages are charged and locked, so page->memcg is stable.

Historically it was for SMP kernel oops on an officially SMP incapable processor but now it also covers CPUs whose MSRs have been incorrectly poked at from userspace, drivers being used on non supported architectures, broken firmware, mismatched CPUs, ...

It is designed to be a lot more straight forward and easier to follow than the current text about this (Documentation/admin-guide/reporting-bugs.rst); at the same time the new text should be more helpful for people unfamiliar with the topic, as it provides a lot more details, too. The main work on the text is done, but some polishing is still needed. The text also needs to be reviewed by more people and a few issues still might need some discussion. To make these tasks easier, it was decided ([1]) to add this document to the kernel sources in parallel to the existing text; the latter will be removed once this text is considered good enough(tm). This document is quite long and provides a lot of details, but was carefully crafted to make sure it's can also serve people that are in a hurry. That's mainly achieved by having a TDLR and a step-by-step guide, which should be good enough for quite a lot of people. Everybody that wants or need more explanations can find them in a reference section, which describes all the needed steps in detail. Thanks to this structure the text can work for kernel developers that just need to look something up, experienced FLOSS contributors that are unfamiliar with the kernel's bug reporting workflow, and users reporting something upstream for the first time. The text is thus a bit like the kernel itself, which works well for embedded machines, a typical desktop PC, cloud servers, and HPC. The document was written in the hope it will improve the quality of the bug reports, especially those that come from people unfamiliar with how Linux kernel development works. Sadly quite a few reports from this group are currently of poor quality and/or get submitted to the wrong place. Part of the problem is the old reporting-bugs document, as it makes its essence hard to grasp; it's and also inaccurate and slightly outdated in a few spots. Due to this quite a few valid reports are ignored in the end, which is annoying for those that compiled them and bad for the kernel's quality. The document near the top points out that it's still unfinished, but nevertheless ready for consumption. Those few areas in the text that might need some further discussion contain a note pointing this out. Besides lack of review from core developers there is only one major issue left: the section 'Decode failure message' is known to be outdated: it's waiting for someone familiar with the topic to write something up or give at least provide some hints and pointers what to write there. The new document is dual-licensed under GPL-2.0+ or CC-BY-4.0. The latter is way more liberal and makes it attractive to use this text as a base when writing about this topic on websites or in books. This hopefully increases the chances that such texts are accurate and stick to official way of doing things.
