Pull x86 fixes from Ingo Molnar:
 "Two families of fixes:

   - Fix an FPU context related boot crash on newer x86 hardware with
     larger context sizes than what most people test.  To fix this
     without ugly kludges or extensive reverts we had to touch core task
     allocator, to allow x86 to determine the task size dynamically, at
     boot time.

     I've tested it on a number of x86 platforms, and I cross-built it
     to a handful of architectures:

                                        (warns)               (warns)
       testing     x86-64:  -git:  pass (    0),  -tip:  pass (    0)
       testing     x86-32:  -git:  pass (    0),  -tip:  pass (    0)
       testing        arm:  -git:  pass ( 1359),  -tip:  pass ( 1359)
       testing       cris:  -git:  pass ( 1031),  -tip:  pass ( 1031)
       testing       m32r:  -git:  pass ( 1135),  -tip:  pass ( 1135)
       testing       m68k:  -git:  pass ( 1471),  -tip:  pass ( 1471)
       testing       mips:  -git:  pass ( 1162),  -tip:  pass ( 1162)
       testing    mn10300:  -git:  pass ( 1058),  -tip:  pass ( 1058)
       testing     parisc:  -git:  pass ( 1846),  -tip:  pass ( 1846)
       testing      sparc:  -git:  pass ( 1185),  -tip:  pass ( 1185)

     ... so I hope the cross-arch impact 'none', as intended.

   - Fix various NMI handling related bugs unearthed by the big asm code
     rewrite and generally make the NMI code more robust and more
     maintainable while at it.  These changes are a bit late in the
     cycle, I hope they are still acceptable.

x86/fpu, sched: Introduce CONFIG_ARCH_WANTS_DYNAMIC_TASK_STRUCT and use it on x86

Don't burden architectures without dynamic task_struct sizing
with the overhead of dynamic sizing.

Also optimize the x86 code a bit by caching task_struct_size.

x86/fpu, sched: Dynamically allocate 'struct fpu'

2015-07-18T01:42:35+00:00

The FPU rewrite removed the dynamic allocations of 'struct fpu'.
But, this potentially wastes massive amounts of memory (2k per
task on systems that do not have AVX-512 for instance).

Instead of having a separate slab, this patch just appends the
space that we need to the 'task_struct' which we dynamically
allocate already.  This saves from doing an extra slab
allocation at fork().

The only real downside here is that we have to stick everything
and the end of the task_struct.  But, I think the
BUILD_BUG_ON()s I stuck in there should keep that from being too
fragile.

/proc/$PID/cmdline: fixup empty ARGV case

2015-07-17T23:39:54+00:00

/proc/*/cmdline code checks if it should look at ENVP area by checking
last byte of ARGV area:

	rv = access_remote_vm(mm, arg_end - 1, &c, 1, 0);
	if (rv <= 0)
		goto out_free_page;

If ARGV is somehow made empty (by doing execve(..., NULL, ...) or
manually setting ->arg_start and ->arg_end to equal values), the decision
will be based on byte which doesn't even belong to ARGV/ENVP.

So, quickly check if ARGV area is empty and report 0 to match previous
behaviour.

Merge branch 'for-linus' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/ebiederm/user-namespace

2015-07-03T22:20:57+00:00

Pull user namespace updates from Eric Biederman:
 "Long ago and far away when user namespaces where young it was realized
  that allowing fresh mounts of proc and sysfs with only user namespace
  permissions could violate the basic rule that only root gets to decide
  if proc or sysfs should be mounted at all.

  Some hacks were put in place to reduce the worst of the damage could
  be done, and the common sense rule was adopted that fresh mounts of
  proc and sysfs should allow no more than bind mounts of proc and
  sysfs.  Unfortunately that rule has not been fully enforced.

  There are two kinds of gaps in that enforcement.  Only filesystems
  mounted on empty directories of proc and sysfs should be ignored but
  the test for empty directories was insufficient.  So in my tree
  directories on proc, sysctl and sysfs that will always be empty are
  created specially.  Every other technique is imperfect as an ordinary
  directory can have entries added even after a readdir returns and
  shows that the directory is empty.  Special creation of directories
  for mount points makes the code in the kernel a smidge clearer about
  it's purpose.  I asked container developers from the various container
  projects to help test this and no holes were found in the set of mount
  points on proc and sysfs that are created specially.

  This set of changes also starts enforcing the mount flags of fresh
  mounts of proc and sysfs are consistent with the existing mount of
  proc and sysfs.  I expected this to be the boring part of the work but
  unfortunately unprivileged userspace winds up mounting fresh copies of
  proc and sysfs with noexec and nosuid clear when root set those flags
  on the previous mount of proc and sysfs.  So for now only the atime,
  read-only and nodev attributes which userspace happens to keep
  consistent are enforced.  Dealing with the noexec and nosuid
  attributes remains for another time.

  This set of changes also addresses an issue with how open file
  descriptors from /proc//ns/* are displayed.  Recently readlink of
  /proc//fd has been triggering a WARN_ON that has not been
  meaningful since it was added (as all of the code in the kernel was
  converted) and is not now actively wrong.

  There is also a short list of issues that have not been fixed yet that
  I will mention briefly.

  It is possible to rename a directory from below to above a bind mount.
  At which point any directory pointers below the renamed directory can
  be walked up to the root directory of the filesystem.  With user
  namespaces enabled a bind mount of the bind mount can be created
  allowing the user to pick a directory whose children they can rename
  to outside of the bind mount.  This is challenging to fix and doubly
  so because all obvious solutions must touch code that is in the
  performance part of pathname resolution.

  As mentioned above there is also a question of how to ensure that
  developers by accident or with purpose do not introduce exectuable
  files on sysfs and proc and in doing so introduce security regressions
  in the current userspace that will not be immediately obvious and as
  such are likely to require breaking userspace in painful ways once
  they are recognized"
