mm/nommu.c: drop unlikely inside BUG_ON()

2015-11-06T03:34:48+00:00

(1) For !CONFIG_BUG cases, the bug call is a no-op, so we couldn't
    care less and the change is ok.

(2) ppc and mips, which HAVE_ARCH_BUG_ON, do not rely on branch
    predictions as it seems to be pointless[1] and thus callers should not
    be trying to push an optimization in the first place.

(3) For CONFIG_BUG and !HAVE_ARCH_BUG_ON cases, BUG_ON() contains an
    unlikely compiler flag already.

Hence, we can drop unlikely behind BUG_ON().

mm/nommu: use offset_in_page macro

2015-11-06T03:34:48+00:00

mm, mpx: add "vm_flags_t vm_flags" arg to do_mmap_pgoff()

2015-09-10T20:29:01+00:00

Add the additional "vm_flags_t vm_flags" argument to do_mmap_pgoff(),
rename it to do_mmap(), and re-introduce do_mmap_pgoff() as a simple
wrapper on top of do_mmap().  Perhaps we should update the callers of
do_mmap_pgoff() and kill it later.

This way mpx_mmap() can simply call do_mmap(vm_flags => VM_MPX) and do not
play with vm internals.

After this change mmap_region() has a single user outside of mmap.c,
arch/tile/mm/elf.c:arch_setup_additional_pages().  It would be nice to
change arch/tile/ and unexport mmap_region().

vfs: Commit to never having exectuables on proc and sysfs.

2015-07-10T15:39:25+00:00

Today proc and sysfs do not contain any executable files.  Several
applications today mount proc or sysfs without noexec and nosuid and
then depend on there being no exectuables files on proc or sysfs.
Having any executable files show on proc or sysfs would cause
a user space visible regression, and most likely security problems.

Therefore commit to never allowing executables on proc and sysfs by
adding a new flag to mark them as filesystems without executables and
enforce that flag.

Test the flag where MNT_NOEXEC is tested today, so that the only user
visible effect will be that exectuables will be treated as if the
execute bit is cleared.

The filesystems proc and sysfs do not currently incoporate any
executable files so this does not result in any user visible effects.

This makes it unnecessary to vet changes to proc and sysfs tightly for
adding exectuable files or changes to chattr that would modify
existing files, as no matter what the individual file say they will
not be treated as exectuable files by the vfs.

Not having to vet changes to closely is important as without this we
are only one proc_create call (or another goof up in the
implementation of notify_change) from having problematic executables
on proc.  Those mistakes are all too easy to make and would create
a situation where there are security issues or the assumptions of
some program having to be broken (and cause userspace regressions).

Merge tag 'module_init-alternate_initcall-v4.1-rc8' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/paulg/linux

2015-07-02T17:36:29+00:00

Pull module_init replacement part two from Paul Gortmaker:
 "Replace module_init with appropriate alternate initcall in non
  modules.

  This series converts non-modular code that is using the module_init()
  call to hook itself into the system to instead use one of our
  alternate priority initcalls.

  Unlike the previous series that used device_initcall and hence was a
  runtime no-op, these commits change to one of the alternate initcalls,
  because (a) we have them and (b) it seems like the right thing to do.

  For example, it would seem logical to use arch_initcall for arch
  specific setup code and fs_initcall for filesystem setup code.

  This does mean however, that changes in the init ordering will be
  taking place, and so there is a small risk that some kind of implicit
  init ordering issue may lie uncovered.  But I think it is still better
  to give these ones sensible priorities than to just assign them all to
  device_initcall in order to exactly preserve the old ordering.

  Thad said, we have already made similar changes in core kernel code in
  commit c96d6660dc65 ("kernel: audit/fix non-modular users of
  module_init in core code") without any regressions reported, so this
  type of change isn't without precedent.  It has also got the same
  local testing and linux-next coverage as all the other pull requests
  that I'm sending for this merge window have got.

  Once again, there is an unused module_exit function removal that shows
  up as an outlier upon casual inspection of the diffstat"

mm: nommu: refactor debug and warning prints

2015-06-25T00:49:44+00:00

kenter/kleave/kdebug are wrapper macros to print functions flow and debug
information.  This set was written before pr_devel() was introduced, so it
was controlled by "#if 0" construction.  It is questionable if anyone is
using them [1] now.

This patch removes these macros, converts numerous printk(KERN_WARNING,
...) to use general pr_warn(...) and removes debug print line from
validate_mmap_request() function.

mm: replace module_init usages with subsys_initcall in nommu.c

2015-06-16T18:12:34+00:00

Compiling some arm/m68k configs with "# CONFIG_MMU is not set" reveals
two more instances of module_init being used for code that can't
possibly be modular, as CONFIG_MMU is either on or off.

We replace them with subsys_initcall as per what was done in other
mmu-enabled code.

Note that direct use of __initcall is discouraged, vs.  one of the
priority categorized subgroups.  As __initcall gets mapped onto
device_initcall, our use of subsys_initcall (which makes sense for these
files) will thus change this registration from level 6-device to level
4-subsys (i.e.  slightly earlier).

One might think that core_initcall (l2) or postcore_initcall (l3) would
be more appropriate for anything in mm/ but if we look at the actual init
functions themselves, we see they are just sysctl setup stuff, and
hence the choice of subsys_initcall (l4) seems reasonable.  At the same
time it minimizes the risk of changing the priority too drastically all
at once.  We can adjust further in the future.

Also, a couple instances of missing ";" at EOL are fixed.
