Is there some way to just turn off github pull requests? They're all jokes.

You could ask [email protected] or whatever their help email is.
Though that means legitimate pull request won't get through, though.

Are you considering use Github as the standard public repository? Pull requests generally work out well for open source projects, but I'd be curious how it works out for a project the size of Linux.

@torvalds you could just report the user. You might have to go to their profile page and click the gear to get to the reporting page.

@Holek I see you contribute to wikipedia.pl quite a lot. I would have thought that someone who probably deals with a lot of spam himself would have had more sense than this.

Hello, everybody!

First of all, I apologize about that crappy prank: that should not have happened. And I'm not saying that, because people are mad, but because I should have known better before doing that.

I have a huge respect towards Linux, and people doing their job on this project, and me making them waste time on such pull requests was irresponsible.

I sincerely apologize for my childish behaviour, and wish you the best of code!

Good job for coming around, Holek! :)

commit 1780f2d upstream.

Affected kernels 2.6.36 - 3.0

AppArmor may do a GFP_KERNEL memory allocation with task_lock(tsk->group_leader);
held when called from security_task_setrlimit.  This will only occur when the
task's current policy has been replaced, and the task's creds have not been
updated before entering the LSM security_task_setrlimit() hook.

If the pte mapping in generic_perform_write() is unmapped between
iov_iter_fault_in_readable() and iov_iter_copy_from_user_atomic(), the
"copied" parameter to ->end_write can be zero. ext4 couldn't cope with
it with delayed allocations enabled. This skips the i_disksize
enlargement logic if copied is zero and no new data was appeneded to
the inode.

This is 100% reproducible with some autonuma development code tuned in
a very aggressive manner (not normal way even for knumad) which does
"exotic" changes to the ptes. It wouldn't normally trigger but I don't
see why it can't happen normally if the page is added to swap cache in
between the two faults leading to "copied" being zero (which then
hangs in ext4). So it should be fixed. Especially possible with lumpy
reclaim (albeit disabled if compaction is enabled) as that would
ignore the young bits in the ptes.

Its been long since the hardware issue has been fixed.
This patch uses GPTIMER 1 for all newer board revisions
incl. Beagleboard XM.

…S block during isolation for migration

commit 0bf380b upstream.

When isolating for migration, migration starts at the start of a zone
which is not necessarily pageblock aligned.  Further, it stops isolating
when COMPACT_CLUSTER_MAX pages are isolated so migrate_pfn is generally
not aligned.  This allows isolate_migratepages() to call pfn_to_page() on
an invalid PFN which can result in a crash.  This was originally reported
against a 3.0-based kernel with the following trace in a crash dump.

It was also reported by Herbert van den Bergh against 3.1-based kernel
with the following snippet from the console log.

*pdpt = 000000002f7ce001 *pde = 0000000000000000

It is expected that it also affects 3.2.x and current mainline.

The problem is that pfn_valid is only called on the first PFN being
checked and that PFN is not necessarily aligned.  Lets say we have a case
like this

H = MAX_ORDER_NR_PAGES boundary
| = pageblock boundary
m = cc->migrate_pfn
f = cc->free_pfn
o = memory hole

H------|------H------|----m-Hoooooo|ooooooH-f----|------H

The migrate_pfn is just below a memory hole and the free scanner is beyond
the hole.  When isolate_migratepages started, it scans from migrate_pfn to
migrate_pfn+pageblock_nr_pages which is now in a memory hole.  It checks
pfn_valid() on the first PFN but then scans into the hole where there are
not necessarily valid struct pages.

This patch ensures that isolate_migratepages calls pfn_valid when
necessary.

It is expected that it also affects 3.2.x and current mainline.

The problem is that pfn_valid is only called on the first PFN being
checked and that PFN is not necessarily aligned.  Lets say we have a case
like this

H = MAX_ORDER_NR_PAGES boundary

m = cc->migrate_pfn
f = cc->free_pfn
o = memory hole

H------|------H------|----m-Hoooooo|ooooooH-f----|------H

The migrate_pfn is just below a memory hole and the free scanner is beyond
the hole.  When isolate_migratepages started, it scans from migrate_pfn to
migrate_pfn+pageblock_nr_pages which is now in a memory hole.  It checks
pfn_valid() on the first PFN but then scans into the hole where there are
not necessarily valid struct pages.

This patch ensures that isolate_migratepages calls pfn_valid when
necessary.

…S block during isolation for migration

commit 0bf380b upstream.

When isolating for migration, migration starts at the start of a zone
which is not necessarily pageblock aligned.  Further, it stops isolating
when COMPACT_CLUSTER_MAX pages are isolated so migrate_pfn is generally
not aligned.  This allows isolate_migratepages() to call pfn_to_page() on
an invalid PFN which can result in a crash.  This was originally reported
against a 3.0-based kernel with the following trace in a crash dump.

net: skbuff: add usercopy region to skbuff_fclone_cache

skbuff_fclone_cache was created without defining a usercopy region,
unlike skbuff_head_cache which properly whitelists the cb[] field.
This causes a usercopy BUG() when CONFIG_HARDENED_USERCOPY is enabled
and the kernel attempts to copy sk_buff.cb data to userspace via
sock_recv_errqueue() -> put_cmsg().

The crash occurs when:
1. TCP allocates an skb using alloc_skb_fclone() (from skbuff_fclone_cache)
2. The skb is cloned via skb_clone() using the pre-allocated fclone
3. The cloned skb is queued to sk_error_queue for timestamp reporting
4. Userspace reads the error queue via recvmsg(MSG_ERRQUEUE)
5. sock_recv_errqueue() calls put_cmsg() to copy serr->ee from skb->cb
6. __check_heap_object() fails because skbuff_fclone_cache has no
   usercopy whitelist

When cloned skbs allocated from skbuff_fclone_cache are used in the
socket error queue, accessing the sock_exterr_skb structure in skb->cb
via put_cmsg() triggers a usercopy hardening violation:

Similar to the preceding patch for GuC (and with the same references),
Intel DG1 and DG2 GPUs expects command buffers to align to 4K boundaries.

Current code uses `PAGE_SIZE' as an assumed alignment reference but 4K
kernel page sizes is by no means a guarantee. On 16K-paged kernels, this
causes driver failures during boot up:

net: skbuff: add usercopy region to skbuff_fclone_cache

skbuff_fclone_cache was created without defining a usercopy region,
unlike skbuff_head_cache which properly whitelists the cb[] field.
This causes a usercopy BUG() when CONFIG_HARDENED_USERCOPY is enabled
and the kernel attempts to copy sk_buff.cb data to userspace via
sock_recv_errqueue() -> put_cmsg().

The crash occurs when:
1. TCP allocates an skb using alloc_skb_fclone() (from skbuff_fclone_cache)
2. The skb is cloned via skb_clone() using the pre-allocated fclone
3. The cloned skb is queued to sk_error_queue for timestamp reporting
4. Userspace reads the error queue via recvmsg(MSG_ERRQUEUE)
5. sock_recv_errqueue() calls put_cmsg() to copy serr->ee from skb->cb
6. __check_heap_object() fails because skbuff_fclone_cache has no
   usercopy whitelist

When cloned skbs allocated from skbuff_fclone_cache are used in the
socket error queue, accessing the sock_exterr_skb structure in skb->cb
via put_cmsg() triggers a usercopy hardening violation:

Patch series "kallsyms: Prevent invalid access when showing module
buildid", v3.

We have seen nested crashes in __sprint_symbol(), see below.  They seem to
be caused by an invalid pointer to "buildid".  This patchset cleans up
kallsyms code related to module buildid and fixes this invalid access when
printing backtraces.

I made an audit of __sprint_symbol() and found several situations
when the buildid might be wrong:

  + bpf_address_lookup() does not set @modbuildid

  + ftrace_mod_address_lookup() does not set @modbuildid

  + __sprint_symbol() does not take rcu_read_lock and
    the related struct module might get removed before
    mod->build_id is printed.

This patchset solves these problems:

  + 1st, 2nd patches are preparatory
  + 3rd, 4th, 6th patches fix the above problems
  + 5th patch cleans up a suspicious initialization code.

This is the backtrace, we have seen. But it is not really important.
The problems fixed by the patchset are obvious:

This patch (of 7)

The function kallsyms_lookup_buildid() initializes the given @namebuf by
clearing the first and the last byte.  It is not clear why.

The 1st byte makes sense because some callers ignore the return code and
expect that the buffer contains a valid string, for example:

  - function_stat_show()
    - kallsyms_lookup()
      - kallsyms_lookup_buildid()

The initialization of the last byte does not make much sense because it
can later be overwritten.  Fortunately, it seems that all called functions
behave correctly:

  -  kallsyms_expand_symbol() explicitly adds the trailing '\0'
     at the end of the function.

  - All *__address_lookup() functions either use the safe strscpy()
    or they do not touch the buffer at all.

Document the reason for clearing the first byte.  And remove the useless
initialization of the last byte.

be caused by an invalid pointer to "buildid".  This patchset cleans up
kallsyms code related to module buildid and fixes this invalid access when
printing backtraces.

I made an audit of __sprint_symbol() and found several situations
when the buildid might be wrong:

  + bpf_address_lookup() does not set @modbuildid

  + ftrace_mod_address_lookup() does not set @modbuildid

  + __sprint_symbol() does not take rcu_read_lock and
    the related struct module might get removed before
    mod->build_id is printed.

This patchset solves these problems:

  + 1st, 2nd patches are preparatory
  + 3rd, 4th, 6th patches fix the above problems
  + 5th patch cleans up a suspicious initialization code.

This is the backtrace, we have seen. But it is not really important.
The problems fixed by the patchset are obvious:

This patch (of 7)

The function kallsyms_lookup_buildid() initializes the given @namebuf by
clearing the first and the last byte.  It is not clear why.

The 1st byte makes sense because some callers ignore the return code and
expect that the buffer contains a valid string, for example:

  - function_stat_show()
    - kallsyms_lookup()
      - kallsyms_lookup_buildid()

The initialization of the last byte does not make much sense because it
can later be overwritten.  Fortunately, it seems that all called functions
behave correctly:

  -  kallsyms_expand_symbol() explicitly adds the trailing '\0'
     at the end of the function.

  - All *__address_lookup() functions either use the safe strscpy()
    or they do not touch the buffer at all.

Document the reason for clearing the first byte.  And remove the useless
initialization of the last byte.

skbuff_fclone_cache was created without defining a usercopy region,
[1] unlike skbuff_head_cache which properly whitelists the cb[] field.
[2] This causes a usercopy BUG() when CONFIG_HARDENED_USERCOPY is
enabled and the kernel attempts to copy sk_buff.cb data to userspace
via sock_recv_errqueue() -> put_cmsg().

The crash occurs when: 1. TCP allocates an skb using alloc_skb_fclone()
   (from skbuff_fclone_cache) [1]
2. The skb is cloned via skb_clone() using the pre-allocated fclone
[3] 3. The cloned skb is queued to sk_error_queue for timestamp
reporting 4. Userspace reads the error queue via recvmsg(MSG_ERRQUEUE)
5. sock_recv_errqueue() calls put_cmsg() to copy serr->ee from skb->cb
[4] 6. __check_heap_object() fails because skbuff_fclone_cache has no
   usercopy whitelist [5]

When cloned skbs allocated from skbuff_fclone_cache are used in the
socket error queue, accessing the sock_exterr_skb structure in skb->cb
via put_cmsg() triggers a usercopy hardening violation:

This patch uses a local stack variable as a bounce buffer to avoid the hardened usercopy check failure.

The crash offset 296 corresponds to skb2->cb within skbuff_fclones:
  - sizeof(struct sk_buff) = 232 - offsetof(struct sk_buff, cb) = 40 -
  offset of skb2.cb in fclones = 232 + 40 = 272 - crash offset 296 =
  272 + 24 (inside sock_exterr_skb.ee)

This patch uses a local stack variable as a bounce buffer to avoid the hardened usercopy check failure.

skbuff_fclone_cache was created without defining a usercopy region,
[1] unlike skbuff_head_cache which properly whitelists the cb[] field.
[2] This causes a usercopy BUG() when CONFIG_HARDENED_USERCOPY is
enabled and the kernel attempts to copy sk_buff.cb data to userspace
via sock_recv_errqueue() -> put_cmsg().

The crash occurs when: 1. TCP allocates an skb using alloc_skb_fclone()
   (from skbuff_fclone_cache) [1]
2. The skb is cloned via skb_clone() using the pre-allocated fclone
[3] 3. The cloned skb is queued to sk_error_queue for timestamp
reporting 4. Userspace reads the error queue via recvmsg(MSG_ERRQUEUE)
5. sock_recv_errqueue() calls put_cmsg() to copy serr->ee from skb->cb
[4] 6. __check_heap_object() fails because skbuff_fclone_cache has no
   usercopy whitelist [5]

When cloned skbs allocated from skbuff_fclone_cache are used in the
socket error queue, accessing the sock_exterr_skb structure in skb->cb
via put_cmsg() triggers a usercopy hardening violation:

Similar to the preceding patch for GuC (and with the same references),
Intel DG1 and DG2 GPUs expects command buffers to align to 4K boundaries.

Current code uses `PAGE_SIZE' as an assumed alignment reference but 4K
kernel page sizes is by no means a guarantee. On 16K-paged kernels, this
causes driver failures during boot up:

skbuff_fclone_cache was created without defining a usercopy region,
[1] unlike skbuff_head_cache which properly whitelists the cb[] field.
[2] This causes a usercopy BUG() when CONFIG_HARDENED_USERCOPY is
enabled and the kernel attempts to copy sk_buff.cb data to userspace
via sock_recv_errqueue() -> put_cmsg().

The crash occurs when: 1. TCP allocates an skb using alloc_skb_fclone()
   (from skbuff_fclone_cache) [1]
2. The skb is cloned via skb_clone() using the pre-allocated fclone
[3] 3. The cloned skb is queued to sk_error_queue for timestamp
reporting 4. Userspace reads the error queue via recvmsg(MSG_ERRQUEUE)
5. sock_recv_errqueue() calls put_cmsg() to copy serr->ee from skb->cb
[4] 6. __check_heap_object() fails because skbuff_fclone_cache has no
   usercopy whitelist [5]

When cloned skbs allocated from skbuff_fclone_cache are used in the
socket error queue, accessing the sock_exterr_skb structure in skb->cb
via put_cmsg() triggers a usercopy hardening violation:

  offset of skb2.cb in fclones = 232 + 40 = 272 - crash offset 296 =
  272 + 24 (inside sock_exterr_skb.ee)

This patch uses a local stack variable as a bounce buffer to avoid the hardened usercopy check failure.

The crash offset 296 corresponds to skb2->cb within skbuff_fclones:
  - sizeof(struct sk_buff) = 232 - offsetof(struct sk_buff, cb) = 40 -
  offset of skb2.cb in fclones = 232 + 40 = 272 - crash offset 296 =
  272 + 24 (inside sock_exterr_skb.ee)

This patch uses a local stack variable as a bounce buffer to avoid the hardened usercopy check failure.

skbuff_fclone_cache was created without defining a usercopy region,
[1] unlike skbuff_head_cache which properly whitelists the cb[] field.
[2] This causes a usercopy BUG() when CONFIG_HARDENED_USERCOPY is
enabled and the kernel attempts to copy sk_buff.cb data to userspace
via sock_recv_errqueue() -> put_cmsg().

The crash occurs when: 1. TCP allocates an skb using alloc_skb_fclone()
   (from skbuff_fclone_cache) [1]
2. The skb is cloned via skb_clone() using the pre-allocated fclone
[3] 3. The cloned skb is queued to sk_error_queue for timestamp
reporting 4. Userspace reads the error queue via recvmsg(MSG_ERRQUEUE)
5. sock_recv_errqueue() calls put_cmsg() to copy serr->ee from skb->cb
[4] 6. __check_heap_object() fails because skbuff_fclone_cache has no
   usercopy whitelist [5]

When cloned skbs allocated from skbuff_fclone_cache are used in the
socket error queue, accessing the sock_exterr_skb structure in skb->cb
via put_cmsg() triggers a usercopy hardening violation:

The crash occurs when: 1. TCP allocates an skb using alloc_skb_fclone()
   (from skbuff_fclone_cache) [1]
2. The skb is cloned via skb_clone() using the pre-allocated fclone
[3] 3. The cloned skb is queued to sk_error_queue for timestamp
reporting 4. Userspace reads the error queue via recvmsg(MSG_ERRQUEUE)
5. sock_recv_errqueue() calls put_cmsg() to copy serr->ee from skb->cb
[4] 6. __check_heap_object() fails because skbuff_fclone_cache has no
   usercopy whitelist [5]

When cloned skbs allocated from skbuff_fclone_cache are used in the
socket error queue, accessing the sock_exterr_skb structure in skb->cb
via put_cmsg() triggers a usercopy hardening violation:

  - sizeof(struct sk_buff) = 232 - offsetof(struct sk_buff, cb) = 40 -

skbuff_fclone_cache was created without defining a usercopy region,
[1] unlike skbuff_head_cache which properly whitelists the cb[] field.
[2] This causes a usercopy BUG() when CONFIG_HARDENED_USERCOPY is
enabled and the kernel attempts to copy sk_buff.cb data to userspace
via sock_recv_errqueue() -> put_cmsg().

The crash occurs when: 1. TCP allocates an skb using alloc_skb_fclone()
   (from skbuff_fclone_cache) [1]
2. The skb is cloned via skb_clone() using the pre-allocated fclone
[3] 3. The cloned skb is queued to sk_error_queue for timestamp
reporting 4. Userspace reads the error queue via recvmsg(MSG_ERRQUEUE)
5. sock_recv_errqueue() calls put_cmsg() to copy serr->ee from skb->cb
[4] 6. __check_heap_object() fails because skbuff_fclone_cache has no
   usercopy whitelist [5]

When cloned skbs allocated from skbuff_fclone_cache are used in the
socket error queue, accessing the sock_exterr_skb structure in skb->cb
via put_cmsg() triggers a usercopy hardening violation:

skbuff_fclone_cache was created without defining a usercopy region,
[1] unlike skbuff_head_cache which properly whitelists the cb[] field.
[2] This causes a usercopy BUG() when CONFIG_HARDENED_USERCOPY is
enabled and the kernel attempts to copy sk_buff.cb data to userspace
via sock_recv_errqueue() -> put_cmsg().

The crash occurs when: 1. TCP allocates an skb using alloc_skb_fclone()
   (from skbuff_fclone_cache) [1]
2. The skb is cloned via skb_clone() using the pre-allocated fclone
[3] 3. The cloned skb is queued to sk_error_queue for timestamp
reporting 4. Userspace reads the error queue via recvmsg(MSG_ERRQUEUE)
5. sock_recv_errqueue() calls put_cmsg() to copy serr->ee from skb->cb
[4] 6. __check_heap_object() fails because skbuff_fclone_cache has no
   usercopy whitelist [5]

When cloned skbs allocated from skbuff_fclone_cache are used in the
socket error queue, accessing the sock_exterr_skb structure in skb->cb
via put_cmsg() triggers a usercopy hardening violation:

The crash offset 296 corresponds to skb2->cb within skbuff_fclones:
  - sizeof(struct sk_buff) = 232 - offsetof(struct sk_buff, cb) = 40 -
  offset of skb2.cb in fclones = 232 + 40 = 272 - crash offset 296 =
  272 + 24 (inside sock_exterr_skb.ee)

This patch uses a local stack variable as a bounce buffer to avoid the hardened usercopy check failure.
