[ Upstream commit 378c6520e7d29280f400ef2ceaf155c86f05a71a ]

This commit fixes the following security hole affecting systems where
all of the following conditions are fulfilled:

 - The fs.suid_dumpable sysctl is set to 2.
 - The kernel.core_pattern sysctl's value starts with "/". (Systems
   where kernel.core_pattern starts with "|/" are not affected.)
 - Unprivileged user namespace creation is permitted. (This is
   true on Linux &gt;=3.8, but some distributions disallow it by
   default using a distro patch.)

Under these conditions, if a program executes under secure exec rules,
causing it to run with the SUID_DUMP_ROOT flag, then unshares its user
namespace, changes its root directory and crashes, the coredump will be
written using fsuid=0 and a path derived from kernel.core_pattern - but
this path is interpreted relative to the root directory of the process,
allowing the attacker to control where a coredump will be written with
root privileges.

To fix the security issue, always interpret core_pattern for dumps that
are written under SUID_DUMP_ROOT relative to the root directory of init.

<title>overlayfs: Make f_path always point to the overlay and f_inode to the underlay</title>

<id>9abb3b81094857a1e2d7dea5b2a8605e29d8c77d</id>
<content type='text'>
commit 4bacc9c9234c7c8eec44f5ed4e960d9f96fa0f01 upstream.

Make file-&gt;f_path always point to the overlay dentry so that the path in
/proc/pid/fd is correct and to ensure that label-based LSMs have access to the
overlay as well as the underlay (path-based LSMs probably don't need it).

Using my union testsuite to set things up, before the patch I see:

	[root@andromeda union-testsuite]# bash 5&lt;/mnt/a/foo107
	[root@andromeda union-testsuite]# ls -l /proc/$$/fd/
	...
	lr-x------. 1 root root 64 Jun  5 14:38 5 -&gt; /a/foo107
	[root@andromeda union-testsuite]# stat /mnt/a/foo107
	...
	Device: 23h/35d Inode: 13381       Links: 1
	...
	[root@andromeda union-testsuite]# stat -L /proc/$$/fd/5
	...
	Device: 23h/35d Inode: 13381       Links: 1
	...

After the patch:

	[root@andromeda union-testsuite]# bash 5&lt;/mnt/a/foo107
	[root@andromeda union-testsuite]# ls -l /proc/$$/fd/
	...
	lr-x------. 1 root root 64 Jun  5 14:22 5 -&gt; /mnt/a/foo107
	[root@andromeda union-testsuite]# stat /mnt/a/foo107
	...
	Device: 23h/35d Inode: 40346       Links: 1
	...
	[root@andromeda union-testsuite]# stat -L /proc/$$/fd/5
	...
	Device: 23h/35d Inode: 40346       Links: 1
	...

Note the change in where /proc/$$/fd/5 points to in the ls command.  It was
pointing to /a/foo107 (which doesn't exist) and now points to /mnt/a/foo107
(which is correct).

The inode accessed, however, is the lower layer.  The union layer is on device
25h/37d and the upper layer on 24h/36d.

Pull xfs update from Dave Chinner:
 "This update contains:

   - RENAME_WHITEOUT support

   - conversion of per-cpu superblock accounting to use generic counters

   - new inode mmap lock so that we can lock page faults out of
     truncate, hole punch and other direct extent manipulation functions
     to avoid racing mmap writes from causing data corruption

   - rework of direct IO submission and completion to solve data
     corruption issue when running concurrent extending DIO writes.
     Also solves problem of running IO completion transactions in
     interrupt context during size extending AIO writes.

   - FALLOC_FL_INSERT_RANGE support for inserting holes into a file via
     direct extent manipulation to avoid needing to copy data within the
     file

   - attribute block header field overflow fix for 64k block size
     filesystems

   - Lots of changes to log messaging to be more informative and concise
     when errors occur.  Also prevent a lot of unnecessary log spamming
     due to cascading failures in error conditions.

   - lots of cleanups and bug fixes

  One thing of note is the direct IO fixes that we merged last week
  after the window opened.  Even though a little late, they fix a user
  reported data corruption and have been pretty well tested.  I figured
  there was not much point waiting another 2 weeks for -rc1 to be
  released just so I could send them to you..."

<title>NFS: fix BUG() crash in notify_change() with patch to chown_common()</title>

<id>c1b8940b42bb6487b10f2267a96b486276ce9ff7</id>
<content type='text'>
We have observed a BUG() crash in fs/attr.c:notify_change(). The crash
occurs during an rsync into a filesystem that is exported via NFS.

1.) fs/attr.c:notify_change() modifies the caller's version of attr.
2.) 6de0ec00ba8d ("VFS: make notify_change pass ATTR_KILL_S*ID to
    setattr operations") introduced a BUG() restriction such that "no
    function will ever call notify_change() with both ATTR_MODE and
    ATTR_KILL_S*ID set". Under some circumstances though, it will have
    assisted in setting the caller's version of attr to this very
    combination.
3.) 27ac0ffeac80 ("locks: break delegations on any attribute
    modification") introduced code to handle breaking
    delegations. This can result in notify_change() being re-called. attr
    _must_ be explicitly reset to avoid triggering the BUG() established
    in #2.
4.) The path that that triggers this is via fs/open.c:chmod_common().
    The combination of attr flags set here and in the first call to
    notify_change() along with a later failed break_deleg_wait()
    results in notify_change() being called again via retry_deleg
    without resetting attr.

Solution is to move retry_deleg in chmod_common() a bit further up to
ensure attr is completely reset.

There are other places where this seemingly could occur, such as
fs/utimes.c:utimes_common(), but the attr flags are not initially
set in such a way to trigger this.

For another, name can be an empty string, but not NULL - no callers

FALLOC_FL_INSERT_RANGE command is the opposite command of
FALLOC_FL_COLLAPSE_RANGE that is needed for someone who wants to add
some data in the middle of file.

FALLOC_FL_INSERT_RANGE will create space for writing new data within
a file after shifting extents to right as given length. This command
also has same limitations as FALLOC_FL_COLLAPSE_RANGE in that
operations need to be filesystem block boundary aligned and cannot
cross the current EOF.

Pull getname/putname updates from Al Viro:
 "Rework of getname/getname_kernel/etc., mostly from Paul Moore.  Gets
  rid of quite a pile of kludges between namei and audit..."

* 'getname2' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/viro/vfs:
  audit: replace getname()/putname() hacks with reference counters
  audit: fix filename matching in __audit_inode() and __audit_inode_child()
  audit: enable filename recording via getname_kernel()
  simpler calling conventions for filename_mountpoint()
  fs: create proper filename objects using getname_kernel()
  fs: rework getname_kernel to handle up to PATH_MAX sized filenames
  cut down the number of do_path_lookup() callers

All callers of get_xip_mem() are now gone.  Remove checks for it,
initialisers of it, documentation of it and the only implementation of it.
 Also remove mm/filemap_xip.c as it is now empty.  Also remove
documentation of the long-gone get_xip_page().

<title>fs: create proper filename objects using getname_kernel()</title>

There are several areas in the kernel that create temporary filename
objects using the following pattern:

	int func(const char *name)
	{
		struct filename *file = { .name = name };
		...
		return 0;
	}

... which for the most part works okay, but it causes havoc within the
audit subsystem as the filename object does not persist beyond the
lifetime of the function.  This patch converts all of these temporary
filename objects into proper filename objects using getname_kernel()
and putname() which ensure that the filename object persists until the
audit subsystem is finished with it.

Also, a special thanks to Al Viro, Guenter Roeck, and Sabrina Dubroca
for helping resolve a difficult kernel panic on boot related to a
use-after-free problem in kern_path_create(); the thread can be seen
at the link below:

 * https://lkml.org/lkml/2015/1/20/710

This patch includes code that was either based on, or directly written
by Al in the above thread.
