      binfmt: Introduce secureexec flag · c425e189
      Kees Cook authored 
      
The bprm_secureexec hook can be moved earlier. Right now, it is called
during create_elf_tables(), via load_binary(), via search_binary_handler(),
via exec_binprm(). Nearly all (see exception below) state used by
bprm_secureexec is created during the bprm_set_creds hook, called from
prepare_binprm().

For all LSMs (except commoncaps described next), only the first execution
of bprm_set_creds takes any effect (they all check bprm->called_set_creds
which prepare_binprm() sets after the first call to the bprm_set_creds
hook).  However, all these LSMs also only do anything with bprm_secureexec
when they detected a secure state during their first run of bprm_set_creds.
Therefore, it is functionally identical to move the detection into
bprm_set_creds, since the results from secureexec here only need to be
based on the first call to the LSM's bprm_set_creds hook.

The single exception is that the commoncaps secureexec hook also examines
euid/uid and egid/gid differences which are controlled by bprm_fill_uid(),
via prepare_binprm(), which can be called multiple times (e.g.
binfmt_script, binfmt_misc), and may clear the euid/egid for the final
load (i.e. the script interpreter). However, while commoncaps specifically
ignores bprm->cred_prepared, and runs its bprm_set_creds hook each time
prepare_binprm() may get called, it needs to base the secureexec decision
on the final call to bprm_set_creds. As a result, it will need special
handling.

To begin this refactoring, this adds the secureexec flag to the bprm
struct, and calls the secureexec hook during setup_new_exec(). This is
safe since all the cred work is finished (and past the point of no return).
This explicit call will be removed in later patches once the hook has been
removed.

      sched/cputime: Convert task/group cputime to nsecs · 5613fda9
      Frederic Weisbecker authored 
      
Now that most cputime readers use the transition API which return the
task cputime in old style cputime_t, we can safely store the cputime in
nsecs. This will eventually make cputime statistics less opaque and more
granular. Back and forth convertions between cputime_t and nsecs in order
to deal with cputime_t random granularity won't be needed anymore.

      sched/cputime: Introduce special task_cputime_t() API to return old-typed cputime · a1cecf2b
      Frederic Weisbecker authored 
      
This API returns a task's cputime in cputime_t in order to ease the
conversion of cputime internals to use nsecs units instead. Blindly
converting all cputime readers to use this API now will later let us
convert more smoothly and step by step all these places to use the
new nsec based cputime.

      mm, fs: get rid of PAGE_CACHE_* and page_cache_{get,release} macros · 09cbfeaf
      Kirill A. Shutemov authored 
      PAGE_CACHE_{SIZE,SHIFT,MASK,ALIGN} macros were introduced *long* time
ago with promise that one day it will be possible to implement page
cache with bigger chunks than PAGE_SIZE.

This promise never materialized.  And unlikely will.

We have many places where PAGE_CACHE_SIZE assumed to be equal to
PAGE_SIZE.  And it's constant source of confusion on whether
PAGE_CACHE_* or PAGE_* constant should be used in a particular case,
especially on the border between fs and mm.

Global switching to PAGE_CACHE_SIZE != PAGE_SIZE would cause to much
breakage to be doable.

Let's stop pretending that pages in page cache are special.  They are
not.

The changes are pretty straight-forward:

 - <foo> << (PAGE_CACHE_SHIFT - PAGE_SHIFT) -> <foo>;

 - <foo> >> (PAGE_CACHE_SHIFT - PAGE_SHIFT) -> <foo>;

 - PAGE_CACHE_{SIZE,SHIFT,MASK,ALIGN} -> PAGE_{SIZE,SHIFT,MASK,ALIGN};

 - page_cache_get() -> get_page();

 - page_cache_release() -> put_page();

      fs/binfmt_elf_fdpic.c: provide NOMMU loader for regular ELF binaries · 1bde925d
      Rich Felker authored 
      
The ELF binary loader in binfmt_elf.c requires an MMU, making it
impossible to use regular ELF binaries on NOMMU archs.  However, the FDPIC
ELF loader in binfmt_elf_fdpic.c is fully capable as a loader for plain
ELF, which requires constant displacements between LOAD segments, since it
already supports FDPIC ELF files flagged as needing constant displacement.

This patch adjusts the FDPIC ELF loader to accept non-FDPIC ELF files on
NOMMU archs.  They are treated identically to FDPIC ELF files with the
constant-displacement flag bit set, except for personality, which must
match the ABI of the program being loaded; the PER_LINUX_FDPIC personality
controls how the kernel interprets function pointers passed to sigaction.

Files that do not set a stack size requirement explicitly are given a
default stack size (matching the amount of committed stack the normal ELF
loader for MMU archs would give them) rather than being rejected; this is
necessary because plain ELF files generally do not declare stack
requirements in theit program headers.

Only ET_DYN (PIE) format ELF files are supported, since loading at a fixed
virtual address is not possible on NOMMU.

This patch was developed and tested on J2 (SH2-compatible) but should
be usable immediately on all archs where binfmt_elf_fdpic is
available. Moreover, by providing dummy definitions of the
elf_check_fdpic() and elf_check_const_displacement() macros for archs
which lack an FDPIC ABI, it should be possible to enable building of
binfmt_elf_fdpic on all other NOMMU archs and thereby give them ELF
binary support, but I have not yet tested this.

The motivation for using binfmt_elf_fdpic.c rather than adapting
binfmt_elf.c to NOMMU is that the former already has all the necessary
code to work properly on NOMMU and has already received widespread
real-world use and testing. I hope this is not controversial.

I'm not really happy with having to unset the FDPIC_FUNCPTRS
personality bit when loading non-FDPIC ELF. This bit should really
reset automatically on execve, since otherwise, executing non-ELF
binaries (e.g. bFLT) from an FDPIC process will leave the personality
in the wrong state and severely break signal handling. But that's a
separate, existing bug and I don't know the right place to fix it.

      cputime: Use accessors to read task cputime stats · 6fac4829
      Frederic Weisbecker authored 
      
This is in preparation for the full dynticks feature. While
remotely reading the cputime of a task running in a full
dynticks CPU, we'll need to do some extra-computation. This
way we can account the time it spent tickless in userspace
since its last cputime snapshot.

      mm: kill vma flag VM_RESERVED and mm->reserved_vm counter · 314e51b9
      Konstantin Khlebnikov authored 
      
A long time ago, in v2.4, VM_RESERVED kept swapout process off VMA,
currently it lost original meaning but still has some effects:

 | effect                 | alternative flags
-+------------------------+---------------------------------------------
1| account as reserved_vm | VM_IO
2| skip in core dump      | VM_IO, VM_DONTDUMP
3| do not merge or expand | VM_IO, VM_DONTEXPAND, VM_HUGETLB, VM_PFNMAP
4| do not mlock           | VM_IO, VM_DONTEXPAND, VM_HUGETLB, VM_PFNMAP

This patch removes reserved_vm counter from mm_struct.  Seems like nobody
cares about it, it does not exported into userspace directly, it only
reduces total_vm showed in proc.

Thus VM_RESERVED can be replaced with VM_IO or pair VM_DONTEXPAND | VM_DONTDUMP.

remap_pfn_range() and io_remap_pfn_range() set VM_IO|VM_DONTEXPAND|VM_DONTDUMP.
remap_vmalloc_range() set VM_DONTEXPAND | VM_DONTDUMP.

      VM: add "vm_mmap()" helper function · 6be5ceb0
      Linus Torvalds authored 
      
This continues the theme started with vm_brk() and vm_munmap():
vm_mmap() does the same thing as do_mmap(), but additionally does the
required VM locking.

This uninlines (and rewrites it to be clearer) do_mmap(), which sadly
duplicates it in mm/mmap.c and mm/nommu.c.  But that way we don't have
to export our internal do_mmap_pgoff() function.

Some day we hopefully don't have to export do_mmap() either, if all
modular users can become the simpler vm_mmap() instead.  We're actually
very close to that already, with the notable exception of the (broken)
use in i810, and a couple of stragglers in binfmt_elf.

asm/system.h is a cause of circular dependency problems because it contains
commonly used primitive stuff like barrier definitions and uncommonly used
stuff like switch_to() that might require MMU definitions.

asm/system.h has been disintegrated by this point on all arches into the
following common segments:

 (1) asm/barrier.h

 (2) asm/cmpxchg.h
