Sparse reports a warning at freeque()

warning: context imbalance in freeque() - unexpected unlock

The root cause is the missing annotation at freeque()

Add the missing __releases(RCU) annotation
Add the missing __releases(&amp;msq-&gt;q_perm) annotation

A use of uninitialized memory in msgctl_down() because msqid64 in
ksys_msgctl hasn't been initialized.  The local | msqid64 | is created in
ksys_msgctl() and then passed into msgctl_down().  Along the way msqid64
is never initialized before msgctl_down() checks msqid64-&gt;msg_qbytes.

Transfer findings from ipc/mqueue.c:

- A control barrier was missing for the lockless receive case So in
  theory, not yet initialized data may have been copied to user space -
  obviously only for architectures where control barriers are not NOP.

- use smp_store_release().  In theory, the refount may have been
  decreased to 0 already when wake_q_add() tries to get a reference.

<title>ipc: rename old-style shmctl/semctl/msgctl syscalls</title>

<id>275f22148e8720e84b180d9e0cdf8abfd69bac5b</id>
<content type='text'>
The behavior of these system calls is slightly different between
architectures, as determined by the CONFIG_ARCH_WANT_IPC_PARSE_VERSION
symbol. Most architectures that implement the split IPC syscalls don't set
that symbol and only get the modern version, but alpha, arm, microblaze,
mips-n32, mips-n64 and xtensa expect the caller to pass the IPC_64 flag.

For the architectures that so far only implement sys_ipc(), i.e. m68k,
mips-o32, powerpc, s390, sh, sparc, and x86-32, we want the new behavior
when adding the split syscalls, so we need to distinguish between the
two groups of architectures.

The method I picked for this distinction is to have a separate system call
entry point: sys_old_*ctl() now uses ipc_parse_version, while sys_*ctl()
does not. The system call tables of the five architectures are changed
accordingly.

As an additional benefit, we no longer need the configuration specific
definition for ipc_parse_version(), it always does the same thing now,
but simply won't get called on architectures with the modern interface.

A small downside is that on architectures that do set
ARCH_WANT_IPC_PARSE_VERSION, we now have an extra set of entry points
that are never called. They only add a few bytes of bloat, so it seems
better to keep them compared to adding yet another Kconfig symbol.
I considered adding new syscall numbers for the IPC_64 variants for
consistency, but decided against that for now.

<title>y2038: globally rename compat_time to old_time32</title>

<id>9afc5eee65ca7d717a99d6fe8f4adfe32a40940a</id>
<content type='text'>
Christoph Hellwig suggested a slightly different path for handling
backwards compatibility with the 32-bit time_t based system calls:

Rather than simply reusing the compat_sys_* entry points on 32-bit
architectures unchanged, we get rid of those entry points and the
compat_time types by renaming them to something that makes more sense
on 32-bit architectures (which don't have a compat mode otherwise),
and then share the entry points under the new name with the 64-bit
architectures that use them for implementing the compatibility.

The following types and interfaces are renamed here, and moved
from linux/compat_time.h to linux/time32.h:

old				new
---				---
compat_time_t			old_time32_t
struct compat_timeval		struct old_timeval32
struct compat_timespec		struct old_timespec32
struct compat_itimerspec	struct old_itimerspec32
ns_to_compat_timeval()		ns_to_old_timeval32()
get_compat_itimerspec64()	get_old_itimerspec32()
put_compat_itimerspec64()	put_old_itimerspec32()
compat_get_timespec64()		get_old_timespec32()
compat_put_timespec64()		put_old_timespec32()

As we already have aliases in place, this patch addresses only the
instances that are relevant to the system call interface in particular,
not those that occur in device drivers and other modules. Those
will get handled separately, while providing the 64-bit version
of the respective interfaces.

I'm not renaming the timex, rusage and itimerval structures, as we are
still debating what the new interface will look like, and whether we
will need a replacement at all.

This also doesn't change the names of the syscall entry points, which can
be done more easily when we actually switch over the 32-bit architectures
to use them, at that point we need to change COMPAT_SYSCALL_DEFINEx to
SYSCALL_DEFINEx with a new name, e.g. with a _time32 suffix.

put_compat_itimerspec64()	put_old_itimerspec32()
compat_get_timespec64()		get_old_timespec32()
compat_put_timespec64()		put_old_timespec32()

As we already have aliases in place, this patch addresses only the
instances that are relevant to the system call interface in particular,
not those that occur in device drivers and other modules. Those
will get handled separately, while providing the 64-bit version
of the respective interfaces.

I'm not renaming the timex, rusage and itimerval structures, as we are
still debating what the new interface will look like, and whether we
will need a replacement at all.

This also doesn't change the names of the syscall entry points, which can
be done more easily when we actually switch over the 32-bit architectures
to use them, at that point we need to change COMPAT_SYSCALL_DEFINEx to
SYSCALL_DEFINEx with a new name, e.g. with a _time32 suffix.

The varable names got a mess, thus standardize them again:

id: user space id. Called semid, shmid, msgid if the type is known.
    Most functions use "id" already.
idx: "index" for the idr lookup
    Right now, some functions use lid, ipc_addid() already uses idx as
    the variable name.
seq: sequence number, to avoid quick collisions of the user space id
key: user space key, used for the rhash tree

Now that we know that rhashtable_init() will not fail, we can get rid of a
lot of the unnecessary cleanup paths when the call errored out.

<title>ipc: rename ipcctl_pre_down_nolock()</title>

Both the comment and the name of ipcctl_pre_down_nolock() are misleading:
The function must be called while holdling the rw semaphore.

Therefore the patch renames the function to ipcctl_obtain_check(): This
name matches the other names used in util.c:

- "obtain" function look up a pointer in the idr, without
  acquiring the object lock.
- The caller is responsible for locking.
- _check means that the sequence number is checked.

<title>ipc/util.c: use ipc_rcu_putref() for failues in ipc_addid()</title>

ipc_addid() is impossible to use:
- for certain failures, the caller must not use ipc_rcu_putref(),
  because the reference counter is not yet initialized.
- for other failures, the caller must use ipc_rcu_putref(),
  because parallel operations could be ongoing already.

The patch cleans that up, by initializing the refcount early, and by
modifying all callers.

The issues is related to the finding of
syzbot+2827ef6b3385deb07eaf@syzkaller.appspotmail.com: syzbot found an
issue with reading kern_ipc_perm.seq, here both read and write to already
released memory could happen.

<title>ipc: compute kern_ipc_perm.id under the ipc lock</title>

ipc_addid() initializes kern_ipc_perm.id after having called
ipc_idr_alloc().

Thus a parallel semctl() or msgctl() that uses e.g.  MSG_STAT may use this
unitialized value as the return code.

The patch moves all accesses to kern_ipc_perm.id under the spin_lock().
