mm/pkey: Add PKEY_UNRESTRICTED macro

2025-02-17T18:11:18Z

Memory protection keys (pkeys) uapi has two macros for pkeys restrictions: - PKEY_DISABLE_ACCESS 0x1 - PKEY_DISABLE_WRITE 0x2 with implicit literal value of 0x0 that means "unrestricted". Code that works with pkeys has to use this literal value when implying that a pkey imposes no restrictions. This may reduce readability because 0 can be written in various ways (e.g. 0x0 or 0) and also because 0 in the context of pkeys can be mistaken for "no permissions" (akin PROT_NONE) while it actually means "no restrictions". This is important because pkeys are oftentimes used near mprotect() that uses PROT_ macros. This patch adds PKEY_UNRESTRICTED macro defined as 0x0.

fs: add open_tree_attr()

2025-02-12T11:12:28Z

Add open_tree_attr() which allow to atomically create a detached mount tree and set mount options on it. If OPEN_TREE_CLONE is used this will allow the creation of a detached mount with a new set of mount options without it ever being exposed to userspace without that set of mount options applied.

Pull fsnotify pre-content notification support from Jan Kara: "This introduces a new fsnotify event (FS_PRE_ACCESS) that gets generated before a file contents is accessed. The event is synchronous so if there is listener for this event, the kernel waits for reply. On success the execution continues as usual, on failure we propagate the error to userspace. This allows userspace to fill in file content on demand from slow storage. The context in which the events are generated has been picked so that we don't hold any locks and thus there's no risk of a deadlock for the userspace handler. The new pre-content event is available only for users with global CAP_SYS_ADMIN capability (similarly to other parts of fanotify functionality) and it is an administrator responsibility to make sure the userspace event handler doesn't do stupid stuff that can DoS the system. Based on your feedback from the last submission, fsnotify code has been improved and now file->f_mode encodes whether pre-content event needs to be generated for the file so the fast path when nobody wants pre-content event for the file just grows the additional file->f_mode check. As a bonus this also removes the checks whether the old FS_ACCESS event needs to be generated from the fast path. Also the place where the event is generated during page fault has been moved so now filemap_fault() generates the event if and only if there is no uptodate folio in the page cache. Also we have dropped FS_PRE_MODIFY event as current real-world users of the pre-content functionality don't really use it so let's start with the minimal useful feature set" * tag 'fsnotify_hsm_for_v6.14-rc1' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/jack/linux-fs: (21 commits) fanotify: Fix crash in fanotify_init(2) fs: don't block write during exec on pre-content watched files fs: enable pre-content events on supported file systems ext4: add pre-content fsnotify hook for DAX faults btrfs: disable defrag on pre-content watched files xfs: add pre-content fsnotify hook for DAX faults fsnotify: generate pre-content permission event on page fault mm: don't allow huge faults for files with pre content watches fanotify: disable readahead if we have pre-content watches fanotify: allow to set errno in FAN_DENY permission response fanotify: report file range info with pre-content events fanotify: introduce FAN_PRE_ACCESS permission event fsnotify: generate pre-content permission event on truncate fsnotify: pass optional file access range in pre-content event fsnotify: introduce pre-content permission events fanotify: reserve event bit of deprecated FAN_DIR_MODIFY fanotify: rename a misnamed constant fanotify: don't skip extra event info if no info_mode is set fsnotify: check if file is actually being watched for pre-content events on open fsnotify: opt-in for permission events at file open time ...

Pull networking updates from Paolo Abeni: "The most significant set of changes is the per netns RTNL. The new behavior is disabled by default, regression risk should be contained. Notably the new config knob PTP_1588_CLOCK_VMCLOCK will inherit its default value from PTP_1588_CLOCK_KVM, as the first is intended to be a more reliable replacement for the latter. Core: - Started a very large, in-progress, effort to make the RTNL lock scope per network-namespace, thus reducing the lock contention significantly in the containerized use-case, comprising: - RCU-ified some relevant slices of the FIB control path - introduce basic per netns locking helpers - namespacified the IPv4 address hash table - remove rtnl_register{,_module}() in favour of rtnl_register_many() - refactor rtnl_{new,del,set}link() moving as much validation as possible out of RTNL lock - convert all phonet doit() and dumpit() handlers to RCU - convert IPv4 addresses manipulation to per-netns RTNL - convert virtual interface creation to per-netns RTNL the per-netns lock infrastructure is guarded by the CONFIG_DEBUG_NET_SMALL_RTNL knob, disabled by default ad interim. - Introduce NAPI suspension, to efficiently switching between busy polling (NAPI processing suspended) and normal processing. - Migrate the IPv4 routing input, output and control path from direct ToS usage to DSCP macros. This is a work in progress to make ECN handling consistent and reliable. - Add drop reasons support to the IPv4 rotue input path, allowing better introspection in case of packets drop. - Make FIB seqnum lockless, dropping RTNL protection for read access. - Make inet{,v6} addresses hashing less predicable. - Allow providing timestamp OPT_ID via cmsg, to correlate TX packets and timestamps Things we sprinkled into general kernel code: - Add small file operations for debugfs, to reduce the struct ops size. - Refactoring and optimization for the implementation of page_frag API, This is a preparatory work to consolidate the page_frag implementation. Netfilter: - Optimize set element transactions to reduce memory consumption - Extended netlink error reporting for attribute parser failure. - Make legacy xtables configs user selectable, giving users the option to configure iptables without enabling any other config. - Address a lot of false-positive RCU issues, pointed by recent CI improvements. BPF: - Put xsk sockets on a struct diet and add various cleanups. Overall, this helps to bump performance by 12% for some workloads. - Extend BPF selftests to increase coverage of XDP features in combination with BPF cpumap. - Optimize and homogenize bpf_csum_diff helper for all archs and also add a batch of new BPF selftests for it. - Extend netkit with an option to delegate skb->{mark,priority} scrubbing to its BPF program. - Make the bpf_get_netns_cookie() helper available also to tc(x) BPF programs. Protocols: - Introduces 4-tuple hash for connected udp sockets, speeding-up significantly connected sockets lookup. - Add a fastpath for some TCP timers that usually expires after close, the socket lock contention. - Add inbound and outbound xfrm state caches to speed up state lookups. - Avoid sending MPTCP advertisements on stale subflows, reducing risks on loosing them. - Make neighbours table flushing more scalable, maintaining per device neigh lists. Driver API: - Introduce a unified interface to configure transmission H/W shaping, and expose it to user-space via generic-netlink. - Add support for per-NAPI config via netlink. This makes napi configuration persistent across queues removal and re-creation. Requires driver updates, currently supported drivers are: nVidia/Mellanox mlx4 and mlx5, Broadcom brcm and Intel ice. - Add ethtool support for writing SFP / PHY firmware blocks. - Track RSS context allocation from ethtool core. - Implement support for mirroring to DSA CPU port, via TC mirror offload. - Consolidate FDB updates notification, to avoid duplicates on device-specific entries. - Expose DPLL clock quality level to the user-space. - Support master-slave PHY config via device tree. Tests and tooling: - forwarding: introduce deferred commands, to simplify the cleanup phase Drivers: - Updated several drivers - Amazon vNic, Google vNic, Microsoft vNic, Intel e1000e and Broadcom Tigon3 - to use netdev-genl to link the IRQs and queues to NAPI IDs, allowing busy polling and better introspection. - Ethernet high-speed NICs: - nVidia/Mellanox: - mlx5: - a large refactor to implement support for cross E-Switch scheduling - refactor H/W conter management to let it scale better - H/W GRO cleanups - Intel (100G, ice):: - add support for ethtool reset - implement support for per TX queue H/W shaping - AMD/Solarflare: - implement per device queue stats support - Broadcom (bnxt): - improve wildcard l4proto on IPv4/IPv6 ntuple rules - Marvell Octeon: - Add representor support for each Resource Virtualization Unit (RVU) device. - Hisilicon: - add support for the BMC Gigabit Ethernet - IBM (EMAC): - driver cleanup and modernization - Cisco (VIC): - raise the queues number limit to 256 - Ethernet virtual: - Google vNIC: - implement page pool support - macsec: - inherit lower device's features and TSO limits when offloading - virtio_net: - enable premapped mode by default - support for XDP socket(AF_XDP) zerocopy TX - wireguard: - set the TSO max size to be GSO_MAX_SIZE, to aggregate larger packets. - Ethernet NICs embedded and virtual: - Broadcom ASP: - enable software timestamping - Freescale: - add enetc4 PF driver - MediaTek: Airoha SoC: - implement BQL support - RealTek r8169: - enable TSO by default on r8168/r8125 - implement extended ethtool stats - Renesas AVB: - enable TX checksum offload - Synopsys (stmmac): - support header splitting for vlan tagged packets - move common code for DWMAC4 and DWXGMAC into a separate FPE module. - add dwmac driver support for T-HEAD TH1520 SoC - Synopsys (xpcs): - driver refactor and cleanup - TI: - icssg_prueth: add VLAN offload support - Xilinx emaclite: - add clock support - Ethernet switches: - Microchip: - implement support for the lan969x Ethernet switch family - add LAN9646 switch support to KSZ DSA driver - Ethernet PHYs: - Marvel: 88q2x: enable auto negotiation - Microchip: add support for LAN865X Rev B1 and LAN867X Rev C1/C2 - PTP: - Add support for the Amazon virtual clock device - Add PtP driver for s390 clocks - WiFi: - mac80211 - EHT 1024 aggregation size for transmissions - new operation to indicate that a new interface is to be added - support radio separation of multi-band devices - move wireless extension spy implementation to libiw - Broadcom: - brcmfmac: optional LPO clock support - Microchip: - add support for Atmel WILC3000 - Qualcomm (ath12k): - firmware coredump collection support - add debugfs support for a multitude of statistics - Qualcomm (ath5k): - Arcadyan ARV45XX AR2417 & Gigaset SX76[23] AR241[34]A support - Realtek: - rtw88: 8821au and 8812au USB adapters support - rtw89: add thermal protection - rtw89: fine tune BT-coexsitence to improve user experience - rtw89: firmware secure boot for WiFi 6 chip - Bluetooth - add Qualcomm WCN785x support for ids Foxconn 0xe0fc/0xe0f3 and 0x13d3:0x3623 - add Realtek RTL8852BE support for id Foxconn 0xe123 - add MediaTek MT7920 support for wireless module ids - btintel_pcie: add handshake between driver and firmware - btintel_pcie: add recovery mechanism - btnxpuart: add GPIO support to power save feature" * tag 'net-next-6.13' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/netdev/net-next: (1475 commits) mm: page_frag: fix a compile error when kernel is not compiled Documentation: tipc: fix formatting issue in tipc.rst selftests: nic_performance: Add selftest for performance of NIC driver selftests: nic_link_layer: Add selftest case for speed and duplex states selftests: nic_link_layer: Add link layer selftest for NIC driver bnxt_en: Add FW trace coredump segments to the coredump bnxt_en: Add a new ethtool -W dump flag bnxt_en: Add 2 parameters to bnxt_fill_coredump_seg_hdr() bnxt_en: Add functions to copy host context memory bnxt_en: Do not free FW log context memory bnxt_en: Manage the FW trace context memory bnxt_en: Allocate backing store memory for FW trace logs bnxt_en: Add a 'force' parameter to bnxt_free_ctx_mem() bnxt_en: Refactor bnxt_free_ctx_mem() bnxt_en: Add mem_valid bit to struct bnxt_ctx_mem_type bnxt_en: Update firmware interface spec to 1.10.3.85 selftests/bpf: Add some tests with sockmap SK_PASS bpf: fix recursive lock when verdict program return SK_PASS wireguard: device: support big tcp GSO wireguard: selftests: load nf_conntrack if not present ...

Pull timer updates from Thomas Gleixner: "A rather large update for timekeeping and timers: - The final step to get rid of auto-rearming posix-timers posix-timers are currently auto-rearmed by the kernel when the signal of the timer is ignored so that the timer signal can be delivered once the corresponding signal is unignored. This requires to throttle the timer to prevent a DoS by small intervals and keeps the system pointlessly out of low power states for no value. This is a long standing non-trivial problem due to the lock order of posix-timer lock and the sighand lock along with life time issues as the timer and the sigqueue have different life time rules. Cure this by: - Embedding the sigqueue into the timer struct to have the same life time rules. Aside of that this also avoids the lookup of the timer in the signal delivery and rearm path as it's just a always valid container_of() now. - Queuing ignored timer signals onto a seperate ignored list. - Moving queued timer signals onto the ignored list when the signal is switched to SIG_IGN before it could be delivered. - Walking the ignored list when SIG_IGN is lifted and requeue the signals to the actual signal lists. This allows the signal delivery code to rearm the timer. This also required to consolidate the signal delivery rules so they are consistent across all situations. With that all self test scenarios finally succeed. - Core infrastructure for VFS multigrain timestamping This is required to allow the kernel to use coarse grained time stamps by default and switch to fine grained time stamps when inode attributes are actively observed via getattr(). These changes have been provided to the VFS tree as well, so that the VFS specific infrastructure could be built on top. - Cleanup and consolidation of the sleep() infrastructure - Move all sleep and timeout functions into one file - Rework udelay() and ndelay() into proper documented inline functions and replace the hardcoded magic numbers by proper defines. - Rework the fsleep() implementation to take the reality of the timer wheel granularity on different HZ values into account. Right now the boundaries are hard coded time ranges which fail to provide the requested accuracy on different HZ settings. - Update documentation for all sleep/timeout related functions and fix up stale documentation links all over the place - Fixup a few usage sites - Rework of timekeeping and adjtimex(2) to prepare for multiple PTP clocks A system can have multiple PTP clocks which are participating in seperate and independent PTP clock domains. So far the kernel only considers the PTP clock which is based on CLOCK TAI relevant as that's the clock which drives the timekeeping adjustments via the various user space daemons through adjtimex(2). The non TAI based clock domains are accessible via the file descriptor based posix clocks, but their usability is very limited. They can't be accessed fast as they always go all the way out to the hardware and they cannot be utilized in the kernel itself. As Time Sensitive Networking (TSN) gains traction it is required to provide fast user and kernel space access to these clocks. The approach taken is to utilize the timekeeping and adjtimex(2) infrastructure to provide this access in a similar way how the kernel provides access to clock MONOTONIC, REALTIME etc. Instead of creating a duplicated infrastructure this rework converts timekeeping and adjtimex(2) into generic functionality which operates on pointers to data structures instead of using static variables. This allows to provide time accessors and adjtimex(2) functionality for the independent PTP clocks in a subsequent step. - Consolidate hrtimer initialization hrtimers are set up by initializing the data structure and then seperately setting the callback function for historical reasons. That's an extra unnecessary step and makes Rust support less straight forward than it should be. Provide a new set of hrtimer_setup*() functions and convert the core code and a few usage sites of the less frequently used interfaces over. The bulk of the htimer_init() to hrtimer_setup() conversion is already prepared and scheduled for the next merge window. - Drivers: - Ensure that the global timekeeping clocksource is utilizing the cluster 0 timer on MIPS multi-cluster systems. Otherwise CPUs on different clusters use their cluster specific clocksource which is not guaranteed to be synchronized with other clusters. - Mostly boring cleanups, fixes, improvements and code movement" * tag 'timers-core-2024-11-18' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/tip/tip: (140 commits) posix-timers: Fix spurious warning on double enqueue versus do_exit() clocksource/drivers/arm_arch_timer: Use of_property_present() for non-boolean properties clocksource/drivers/gpx: Remove redundant casts clocksource/drivers/timer-ti-dm: Fix child node refcount handling dt-bindings: timer: actions,owl-timer: convert to YAML clocksource/drivers/ralink: Add Ralink System Tick Counter driver clocksource/drivers/mips-gic-timer: Always use cluster 0 counter as clocksource clocksource/drivers/timer-ti-dm: Don't fail probe if int not found clocksource/drivers:sp804: Make user selectable clocksource/drivers/dw_apb: Remove unused dw_apb_clockevent functions hrtimers: Delete hrtimer_init_on_stack() alarmtimer: Switch to use hrtimer_setup() and hrtimer_setup_on_stack() io_uring: Switch to use hrtimer_setup_on_stack() sched/idle: Switch to use hrtimer_setup_on_stack() hrtimers: Delete hrtimer_init_sleeper_on_stack() wait: Switch to use hrtimer_setup_sleeper_on_stack() timers: Switch to use hrtimer_setup_sleeper_on_stack() net: pktgen: Switch to use hrtimer_setup_sleeper_on_stack() futex: Switch to use hrtimer_setup_sleeper_on_stack() fs/aio: Switch to use hrtimer_setup_sleeper_on_stack() ...
