drivers/base/devres: introduce devm_release_action()

2019-06-14T03:34:56Z

Patch series "mm/devm_memremap_pages: Fix page release race", v2. Logan audited the devm_memremap_pages() shutdown path and noticed that it was possible to proceed to arch_remove_memory() before all potential page references have been reaped. Introduce a new ->cleanup() callback to do the work of waiting for any straggling page references and then perform the percpu_ref_exit() in devm_memremap_pages_release() context. For p2pdma this involves some deeper reworks to reference count resources on a per-instance basis rather than a per pci-device basis. A modified genalloc api is introduced to convey a driver-private pointer through gen_pool_{alloc,free}() interfaces. Also, a devm_memunmap_pages() api is introduced since p2pdma does not auto-release resources on a setup failure. The dax and pmem changes pass the nvdimm unit tests, and the p2pdma changes should now pass testing with the pci_p2pdma_release() fix. Jrme, how does this look for HMM? This patch (of 6): The devm_add_action() facility allows a resource allocation routine to add custom devm semantics. One such user is devm_memremap_pages(). There is now a need to manually trigger devm_memremap_pages_release(). Introduce devm_release_action() so the release action can be triggered via a new devm_memunmap_pages() api in a follow-on change.

drivers/base/memory.c: clean up relics in function parameters

2019-05-14T16:47:48Z

The input parameter 'phys_index' of memory_block_action() is actually the section number, but not the phys_index of memory_block. This is a relic from the past when one memory block could only contain one section. Rename it to start_section_nr. And also in remove_memory_section(), the 'node_id' and 'phys_device' arguments are not used by anyone. Remove them.

Pull x86 MDS mitigations from Thomas Gleixner: "Microarchitectural Data Sampling (MDS) is a hardware vulnerability which allows unprivileged speculative access to data which is available in various CPU internal buffers. This new set of misfeatures has the following CVEs assigned: CVE-2018-12126 MSBDS Microarchitectural Store Buffer Data Sampling CVE-2018-12130 MFBDS Microarchitectural Fill Buffer Data Sampling CVE-2018-12127 MLPDS Microarchitectural Load Port Data Sampling CVE-2019-11091 MDSUM Microarchitectural Data Sampling Uncacheable Memory MDS attacks target microarchitectural buffers which speculatively forward data under certain conditions. Disclosure gadgets can expose this data via cache side channels. Contrary to other speculation based vulnerabilities the MDS vulnerability does not allow the attacker to control the memory target address. As a consequence the attacks are purely sampling based, but as demonstrated with the TLBleed attack samples can be postprocessed successfully. The mitigation is to flush the microarchitectural buffers on return to user space and before entering a VM. It's bolted on the VERW instruction and requires a microcode update. As some of the attacks exploit data structures shared between hyperthreads, full protection requires to disable hyperthreading. The kernel does not do that by default to avoid breaking unattended updates.

Pull pidfd updates from Christian Brauner: "This patchset makes it possible to retrieve pidfds at process creation time by introducing the new flag CLONE_PIDFD to the clone() system call. Linus originally suggested to implement this as a new flag to clone() instead of making it a separate system call. After a thorough review from Oleg CLONE_PIDFD returns pidfds in the parent_tidptr argument. This means we can give back the associated pid and the pidfd at the same time. Access to process metadata information thus becomes rather trivial. As has been agreed, CLONE_PIDFD creates file descriptors based on anonymous inodes similar to the new mount api. They are made unconditional by this patchset as they are now needed by core kernel code (vfs, pidfd) even more than they already were before (timerfd, signalfd, io_uring, epoll etc.). The core patchset is rather small. The bulky looking changelist is caused by David's very simple changes to Kconfig to make anon inodes unconditional. A pidfd comes with additional information in fdinfo if the kernel supports procfs. The fdinfo file contains the pid of the process in the callers pid namespace in the same format as the procfs status file, i.e. "Pid:\t%d". To remove worries about missing metadata access this patchset comes with a sample/test program that illustrates how a combination of CLONE_PIDFD and pidfd_send_signal() can be used to gain race-free access to process metadata through /proc/. Further work based on this patchset has been done by Joel. His work makes pidfds pollable. It finished too late for this merge window. I would prefer to have it sitting in linux-next for a while and send it for inclusion during the 5.3 merge window" * tag 'pidfd-v5.2-rc1' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/brauner/linux: samples: show race-free pidfd metadata access signal: support CLONE_PIDFD with pidfd_send_signal clone: add CLONE_PIDFD Make anon_inodes unconditional
