      License cleanup: add SPDX GPL-2.0 license identifier to files with no license · b2441318
      Greg Kroah-Hartman authored 
      Many source files in the tree are missing licensing information, which
makes it harder for compliance tools to determine the correct license.

By default all files without license information are under the default
license of the kernel, which is GPL version 2.

Update the files which contain no license information with the 'GPL-2.0'
SPDX license identifier.  The SPDX identifier is a legally binding
shorthand, which can be used instead of the full boiler plate text.

This patch is based on work done by Thomas Gleixner and Kate Stewart and
Philippe Ombredanne.

How this work was done:

Patches were generated and checked against linux-4.14-rc6 for a subset of
the use cases:
 - file had no licensing information it it.
 - file was a */uapi/* one with no licensing information in it,
 - file was a */uapi/* one with existing licensing information,

Further patches will be generated in subsequent months to fix up cases
where non-standard...

      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();

This patch contains automated changes generated with coccinelle using
script below.  For some reason, coccinelle doesn't patch header files.
I've called spatch for them manually.

The only adjustment after coccinelle is revert of changes to
PAGE_CAHCE_ALIGN definition: we are going to drop it later.

There are few places in the code where coccinelle didn't reach.  I'll
fix them manually in a separate patch.  Comments and documentation also
will be addressed with the separate patch.

      block, bdi: an active gendisk always has a request_queue associated with it · ff9ea323
      Tejun Heo authored 
      
bdev_get_queue() returns the request_queue associated with the
specified block_device.  blk_get_backing_dev_info() makes use of
bdev_get_queue() to determine the associated bdi given a block_device.

All the callers of bdev_get_queue() including
blk_get_backing_dev_info() assume that bdev_get_queue() may return
NULL and implement NULL handling; however, bdev_get_queue() requires
the passed in block_device is opened and attached to its gendisk.
Because an active gendisk always has a valid request_queue associated
with it, bdev_get_queue() can never return NULL and neither can
blk_get_backing_dev_info().

Make it clear that neither of the two functions can return NULL and
remove NULL handling from all the callers.

      kernel-wide: fix missing validations on __get/__put/__copy_to/__copy_from_user() · 3ddc5b46
      Mathieu Desnoyers authored 
      
I found the following pattern that leads in to interesting findings:

  grep -r "ret.*|=.*__put_user" *
  grep -r "ret.*|=.*__get_user" *
  grep -r "ret.*|=.*__copy" *

The __put_user() calls in compat_ioctl.c, ptrace compat, signal compat,
since those appear in compat code, we could probably expect the kernel
addresses not to be reachable in the lower 32-bit range, so I think they
might not be exploitable.

For the "__get_user" cases, I don't think those are exploitable: the worse
that can happen is that the kernel will copy kernel memory into in-kernel
buffers, and will fail immediately afterward.

The alpha csum_partial_copy_from_user() seems to be missing the
access_ok() check entirely.  The fix is inspired from x86.  This could
lead to information leak on alpha.  I also noticed that many architectures
map csum_partial_copy_from_user() to csum_partial_copy_generic(), but I
wonder if the latter is performing the access checks on every
architectures.

      compat_ioctl: fix warning caused by qemu · 390192b3
      Johannes Stezenbach authored 
      
On Linux x86_64 host with 32bit userspace, running
qemu or even just "qemu-img create -f qcow2 some.img 1G"
causes a kernel warning:

ioctl32(qemu-img:5296): Unknown cmd fd(3) cmd(00005326){t:'S';sz:0} arg(7fffffff) on some.img
ioctl32(qemu-img:5296): Unknown cmd fd(3) cmd(801c0204){t:02;sz:28} arg(fff77350) on some.img

ioctl 00005326 is CDROM_DRIVE_STATUS,
ioctl 801c0204 is FDGETPRM.

The warning appears because the Linux compat-ioctl handler for these
ioctls only applies to block devices, while qemu also uses the ioctls on
plain files.

      Tejun Heo authored 
      include cleanup: Update gfp.h and slab.h includes to prepare for breaking implicit slab.h inclusion from percpu.h

percpu.h is included by sched.h and module.h and thus ends up being
included when building most .c files.  percpu.h includes slab.h which
in turn includes gfp.h making everything defined by the two files
universally available and complicating inclusion dependencies.

percpu.h -> slab.h dependency is about to be removed.  Prepare for
this change by updating users of gfp and slab facilities include those
headers directly instead of assuming availability.  As this conversion
needs to touch large number of source files, the following script is
used as the basis of conversion.

  http://userweb.kernel.org/~tj/misc/slabh-sweep.py

The script does the followings.

* Scan files for gfp and slab usages and update includes such that
  only the necessary includes are there.  ie. if only gfp is used,
  gfp.h, if slab is used, slab.h.

* When the script inserts a new include, it looks at the include

      block: Allow devices to indicate whether discarded blocks are zeroed · 98262f27
      Martin K. Petersen authored 
      
The discard ioctl is used by mkfs utilities to clear a block device
prior to putting metadata down.  However, not all devices return zeroed
blocks after a discard.  Some drives return stale data, potentially
containing old superblocks.  It is therefore important to know whether
discarded blocks are properly zeroed.

Both ATA and SCSI drives have configuration bits that indicate whether
zeroes are returned after a discard operation.  Implement a block level
interface that allows this information to be bubbled up the stack and
queried via a new block device ioctl.

      ide: remove broken/dangerous HDIO_[UNREGISTER,SCAN]_HWIF ioctls (take 3) · 93de00fd
      Bartlomiej Zolnierkiewicz authored 
      
hdparm explicitely marks HDIO_[UNREGISTER,SCAN]_HWIF ioctls as DANGEROUS
and given the number of bugs we can assume that there are no real users:

* DMA has no chance of working because DMA resources are released by
  ide_unregister() and they are never allocated again.

* Since ide_init_hwif_ports() is used for ->io_ports[] setup the ioctls
  don't work for almost all hosts with "non-standard" (== non ISA-like)
  layout of IDE taskfile registers (there is a lot of such host drivers).

* ide_port_init_devices() is not called when probing IDE devices so:
  - drive->autotune is never set and IDE host/devices are not programmed
    for the correct PIO/DMA transfer modes (=> possible data corruption)
  - host specific I/O 32-bit and IRQ unmasking settings are not applied
    (=> possible data corruption)
  - host specific ->port_init_devs method is not called (=> no luck with
    ht6560b, qd65xx and opti621 host drivers)

* ->rw_disk method is not preserved (=> no HPT3xxN chipsets support).

* ->serialized flag is not preserved (=> possible data corruption when
   using icside, aec62xx (ATP850UF chipset), cmd640, cs5530, hpt366
   (HPT3xxN chipsets), rz1000, sc1200, dtc2278 and ht6560b host drivers).

* ->ack_intr method is not preserved (=> needed by ide-cris, buddha,
  gayle and macide host drivers).

* ->sata_scr[] and sata_misc[] is cleared by ide_unregister() and it
  isn't initialized again (SiI3112 support needs them).

* To issue an ioctl() there need to be at least one IDE device present
  in the system.

* ->cable_detect method is not preserved + it is not called when probing
  IDE devices so cable detection is broken (however since DMA support is
  also broken it doesn't really matter ;-).

* Some objects which may have already been freed in ide_unregister()
  are restored by ide_hwif_restore() (i.e. ->hwgroup).

* ide_register_hw() may unregister unrelated IDE ports if free ide_hwifs[]
  slot cannot be found.

* When IDE host drivers are modular unregistered port may be re-used by
  different host driver that owned it first causing subtle bugs.

Since we now have a proper warm-plug support remove these ioctls,
then remove no longer needed:
- ide_register_hw() and ide_hwif_restore() functions
- 'init_default' and 'restore' arguments of ide_unregister()
- zeroeing of hwif->{dma,extra}_* fields in ide_unregister()

As an added bonus IDE core code size shrinks by ~3kB (x86-32).

v2:
* fix ide_unregister() arguments in cleanup_module() (Andrew Morton).

v3:
* fix ide_unregister() arguments in palm_bk3710.c.
