To make up for this, we do have a birthday of sorts to celebrate: SELinux turns 18 years old this December. Perhaps not the most exciting thing in the world for most people, but I think it's safe to say that anyone reading this email doesn't exactly fall into the "most people" category. Back to business and the pull request itself: Ondrej has five patches in this pull request and I lump them into three categories: one patch to always allow submounts (using similar logic to elsewhere in the kernel), one to fix some issues with the SELinux policydb, and the others to cleanup and improve the SELinux sidtab. The other patches from Alexey and Petr and trivial fixes that are adequately described in their respective subject lines. With this last pull request of the year, I want to thank everyone who has contributed patches, testing, and reviews to the SELinux project this year, and the past 18 years. Like any good open source effort, SELinux is only as good as the community which supports it, and I'm very happy that we have the community we do - thank you all!" * tag 'selinux-pr-20181224' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/pcmoore/selinux: selinux: overhaul sidtab to fix bug and improve performance selinux: use separate table for initial SID lookup selinux: make "selinux_policycap_names[]" const char * selinux: always allow mounting submounts selinux: refactor sidtab conversion Documentation: Update SELinux reference policy URL selinux: policydb - fix byte order and alignment issues

| * | | powerpc/fadump: Reservationless firmware assisted dumpMahesh Salgaonkar2018-12-211-1/+16

On large systems with TeraBytes of memory, this reservation can be quite significant. In some cases, fadump fails if the memory reserved is insufficient, or if the reserved memory was DLPAR hot-removed. In the normal case, post reboot, the preserved memory is filtered to extract only relevant areas of interest using the makedumpfile tool. While the tool provides flexibility to determine what needs to be part of the dump and what memory to filter out, all supported distributions default this to "Capture only kernel data and nothing else". We take advantage of this default and the Linux kernel's Contiguous Memory Allocator (CMA) to fundamentally change the memory reservation model for fadump. Instead of setting aside a significant chunk of memory nobody can use, this patch uses CMA instead, to reserve a significant chunk of memory that the kernel is prevented from using (due to MIGRATE_CMA), but applications are free to use it. With this fadump will still be able to capture all of the kernel memory and most of the user space memory except the user pages that were present in CMA region. Essentially, on a P9 LPAR with 2 cores, 8GB RAM and current upstream: [root@zzxx-yy10 ~]# free -m total used free shared buff/cache available Mem: 7557 193 6822 12 541 6725 Swap: 4095 0 4095 With this patch: [root@zzxx-yy10 ~]# free -m total used free shared buff/cache available Mem: 8133 194 7464 12 475 7338 Swap: 4095 0 4095 Changes made here are completely transparent to how fadump has traditionally worked. Thanks to Aneesh Kumar and Anshuman Khandual for helping us understand CMA and its usage. TODO: - Handle case where CMA reservation spans nodes.

| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Now that the forward-progress code does a full-bore continuous callback flood lasting multiple seconds, there is little point in also posting a mere 60,000 callbacks every second or so.

| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Given RCU flavor consolidation, when rcu_read_unlock() is invoked with interrupts disabled, the reporting of the corresponding quiescent state is deferred until interrupts are re-enabled. There was therefore some hope that this would allow dropping the restriction against holding scheduler spinlocks across an rcu_read_unlock() without disabling interrupts across the entire corresponding RCU read-side critical section. Unfortunately, the need to quickly provide a quiescent state to expedited grace periods sometimes requires a call to raise_softirq() during rcu_read_unlock() execution. Because raise_softirq() can sometimes acquire the scheduler spinlocks, the restriction must remain in effect. This commit therefore updates the RCU requirements documentation accordingly.

This commit therefore updates the full API in the whatisRCU document, thus encouraging people to use the consolidated RCU update API instead of the old RCU-bh and RCU-sched update APIs. Also rcu_dereference is documented to be the same for all 3 mechanisms (even before the consolidation), however its actually different - as using the right rcu_dereference primitive (such as rcu_dereference_bh for bh) is needed to make lock debugging work correctly. This update also corrects that. Also, add local_bh_disable() and local_bh_enable() as softirq protection primitives and correct a grammar error in a quiz answer.

It wasn't immediately clear how the document arrived at 16 CPUs which also requires setting the FANOUT_LEAF to 2 instead of the default of 16. This commit therefore provides the needed clarification.

While this approach works it is fairly inconvenient: the majority of the enlightenments we do have corresponding CPUID feature bit(s) and userspace has to know this anyways to be able to expose the feature to the guest. Add KVM_GET_SUPPORTED_HV_CPUID ioctl (backed by KVM_CAP_HYPERV_CPUID, "one cap to rule them all!") returning all Hyper-V CPUID feature leaves. Using the existing KVM_GET_SUPPORTED_CPUID doesn't seem to be possible: Hyper-V CPUID feature leaves intersect with KVM's (e.g. 0x40000000, 0x40000001) and we would probably confuse userspace in case we decide to return these twice. KVM_CAP_HYPERV_CPUID's number is interim: we're intended to drop KVM_CAP_HYPERV_STIMER_DIRECT and use its number instead.

First, and less important, it can take kvm->mmu_lock for an extended period of time. Second, its user can actually see many false positives in some cases. The latter is due to a benign race like this: 1. KVM_GET_DIRTY_LOG returns a set of dirty pages and write protects them. 2. The guest modifies the pages, causing them to be marked ditry. 3. Userspace actually copies the pages. 4. KVM_GET_DIRTY_LOG returns those pages as dirty again, even though they were not written to since (3). This is especially a problem for large guests, where the time between (1) and (3) can be substantial. This patch introduces a new capability which, when enabled, makes KVM_GET_DIRTY_LOG not write-protect the pages it returns. Instead, userspace has to explicitly clear the dirty log bits just before using the content of the page. The new KVM_CLEAR_DIRTY_LOG ioctl can also operate on a 64-page granularity rather than requiring to sync a full memslot; this way, the mmu_lock is taken for small amounts of time, and only a small amount of time will pass between write protection of pages and the sending of their content.

Core architecture changes include: - Syscall tables & definitions for unistd.h are now generated by scripts, providing greater consistency with other architectures & making it easier to add new syscalls. - Support for building kernels with no floating point support, upon which any userland attempting to use floating point instructions will receive a SIGILL. Mostly useful to shrink the kernel & as preparation for nanoMIPS support which does not yet include FP. - MIPS SIMD Architecture (MSA) vector register context is now exposed by ptrace via a new NT_MIPS_MSA regset. - ASIDs are now stored as 64b values even for MIPS32 kernels, expanding the ASID version field sufficiently that we don't need to worry about overflow & avoiding rare issues with reused ASIDs that have been observed in the wild. - The branch delay slot "emulation" page is now mapped without write permission for the user, preventing its use as a nice location for attacks to execute malicious code from. - Support for ioremap_prot(), primarily to allow gdb or other ptrace users the ability to view their tracee's memory using the same cache coherency attribute. - Optimizations to more cpu_has_* macros, allowing more to be compile-time constant where possible. - Enable building the whole kernel with UBSAN instrumentation. - Enable building the kernel with link-time dead code & data elimination. Platform specific changes include: - The Boston board gains a workaround for DMA prefetching issues with the EG20T Platform Controller Hub that it uses. - Cleanups to Cavium Octeon code removing about 20k lines of redundant code, mostly unused or duplicate register definitions in headers. - defconfig updates for the DECstation machines, including new defconfigs for r4k & 64b machines. - Further work on Loongson 3 support. - DMA fixes for SiByte machines" * tag 'mips_4.21' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/mips/linux: (95 commits) MIPS: math-emu: Write-protect delay slot emulation pages MIPS: Remove struct mm_context_t fp_mode_switching field mips: generate uapi header and system call table files mips: add system call table generation support mips: remove syscall table entries mips: add +1 to __NR_syscalls in uapi header mips: rename scall64-64.S to scall64-n64.S mips: remove unused macros mips: add __NR_syscalls along with __NR_Linux_syscalls MIPS: Expand MIPS32 ASIDs to 64 bits MIPS: OCTEON: delete redundant register definitions MIPS: OCTEON: cvmx_gmxx_inf_mode: use oldest forward compatible definition MIPS: OCTEON: cvmx_mio_fus_dat3: use oldest forward compatible definition MIPS: OCTEON: cvmx_pko_mem_debug8: use oldest forward compatible definition MIPS: OCTEON: octeon-usb: use common gpio_bit definition MIPS: OCTEON: enable all OCTEON drivers in defconfig mips: annotate implicit fall throughs MIPS: Hardcode cpu_has_mips* where target ISA allows MIPS: MT: Remove norps command line parameter MIPS: Only include mmzone.h when CONFIG_NEED_MULTIPLE_NODES=y ...

Even though the limit is quite high for most deployments it seems to be too restrictive for deployments which are willing to live with the mitigation disabled. We have a customer to deploy 8x 6,4TB PCIe/NVMe SSD swap devices which is clearly out of the limit. Drop the swap restriction when l1tf=off is specified. It also doesn't make much sense to warn about too much memory for the l1tf mitigation when it is forcefully disabled by the administrator.
