commit f9bb48825a6b5d02f4cabcc78967c75db903dcdc upstream.

This allows for better documentation in the code and
it allows for a simpler and fully correct version of
fs_fully_visible to be written.

The mount points converted and their filesystems are:
/sys/hypervisor/s390/       s390_hypfs
/sys/kernel/config/         configfs
/sys/kernel/debug/          debugfs
/sys/firmware/efi/efivars/  efivarfs
/sys/fs/fuse/connections/   fusectl
/sys/fs/pstore/             pstore
/sys/kernel/tracing/        tracefs
/sys/fs/cgroup/             cgroup
/sys/kernel/security/       securityfs
/sys/fs/selinux/            selinuxfs
/sys/fs/smackfs/            smackfs

commit 8c6cf9cc829fcd0b179b59f7fe288941d0e31108 upstream.

Ignore an existing mount if the locked readonly, nodev or atime
attributes are less permissive than the desired attributes
of the new mount.

On success ensure the new mount locks all of the same readonly, nodev and
atime attributes as the old mount.

The nosuid and noexec attributes are not checked here as this change
is destined for stable and enforcing those attributes causes a
regression in lxc and libvirt-lxc where those applications will not
start and there are no known executables on sysfs or proc and no known
way to create exectuables without code modifications

commit 1b852bceb0d111e510d1a15826ecc4a19358d512 upstream.

Fresh mounts of proc and sysfs are a very special case that works very
much like a bind mount.  Unfortunately the current structure can not
preserve the MNT_LOCK... mount flags.  Therefore refactor the logic
into a form that can be modified to preserve those lock bits.

Add a new filesystem flag FS_USERNS_VISIBLE that requires some mount
of the filesystem be fully visible in the current mount namespace,
before the filesystem may be mounted.

Move the logic for calling fs_fully_visible from proc and sysfs into
fs/namespace.c where it has greater access to mount namespace state.

commit 7236c85e1be51a9e25ba0f6e087a66ca89605a49 upstream.

fs_fully_visible attempts to make fresh mounts of proc and sysfs give
the mounter no more access to proc and sysfs than if they could have
by creating a bind mount.  One aspect of proc and sysfs that makes
this particularly tricky is that there are other filesystems that
typically mount on top of proc and sysfs.  As those filesystems are
mounted on empty directories in practice it is safe to ignore them.
However testing to ensure filesystems are mounted on empty directories
has not been something the in kernel data structures have supported so
the current test for an empty directory which checks to see
if nlink &lt;= 2 is a bit lacking.

proc and sysfs have recently been modified to use the new empty_dir
infrastructure to create all of their dedicated mount points.  Instead
of testing for S_ISDIR(inode-&gt;i_mode) &amp;&amp; i_nlink &lt;= 2 to see if a
directory is empty, test for is_empty_dir_inode(inode).  That small
change guaranteess mounts found on proc and sysfs really are safe to
ignore, because the directories are not only empty but nothing can
ever be added to them.  This guarantees there is nothing to worry
about when mounting proc and sysfs.

commit 87d2846fcf88113fae2341da1ca9a71f0d916f2c upstream.

Add two functions sysfs_create_mount_point and
sysfs_remove_mount_point that hang a permanently empty directory off
of a kobject or remove a permanently emptpy directory hanging from a
kobject.  Export these new functions so modular filesystems can use
them.

commit fbabfd0f4ee2e8847bf56edf481249ad1bb8c44d upstream.

To ensure it is safe to mount proc and sysfs I need to check if
filesystems that are mounted on top of them are mounted on truly empty
directories.  Given that some directories can gain entries over time,
knowing that a directory is empty right now is insufficient.

Therefore add supporting infrastructure for permantently empty
directories that proc and sysfs can use when they create mount points
for filesystems and fs_fully_visible can use to test for permanently
empty directories to ensure that nothing will be gained by mounting a
fresh copy of proc or sysfs.
