The kmalloc() function has a 2-factor argument form, kmalloc_array(). This patch replaces cases of: kmalloc(a * b, gfp) with: kmalloc_array(a * b, gfp) as well as handling cases of: kmalloc(a * b * c, gfp) with: kmalloc(array3_size(a, b, c), gfp) as it's slightly less ugly than: kmalloc_array(array_size(a, b), c, gfp) This does, however, attempt to ignore constant size factors like: kmalloc(4 * 1024, gfp) though any constants defined via macros get caught up in the conversion. Any factors with a sizeof() of "unsigned char", "char", and "u8" were dropped, since they're redundant. The tools/ directory was manually excluded, since it has its own implementation of kmalloc(). The Coccinelle script used for this was: // Fix redundant parens around sizeof(). @@ type TYPE; expression THING, E; @@ ( kmalloc( - (sizeof(TYPE)) * E + sizeof(TYPE) * E , ...) | kmalloc( - (sizeof(THING)) * E + sizeof(THING) * E , ...) ) // Drop single-byte sizes and redundant parens. @@ expression COUNT;

The default for CONFIG_BINFMT_ELF_FDPIC is also set to n if the regular ELF loader is already configured so not to force FDPIC support on everyone. Given that CONFIG_BINFMT_ELF depends on CONFIG_MMU, this means CONFIG_BINFMT_ELF_FDPIC will still default to y when !MMU. Signed-off-by:

The bprm_secureexec hook can be moved earlier. Right now, it is called during create_elf_tables(), via load_binary(), via search_binary_handler(), via exec_binprm(). Nearly all (see exception below) state used by bprm_secureexec is created during the bprm_set_creds hook, called from prepare_binprm(). For all LSMs (except commoncaps described next), only the first execution of bprm_set_creds takes any effect (they all check bprm->called_set_creds which prepare_binprm() sets after the first call to the bprm_set_creds hook). However, all these LSMs also only do anything with bprm_secureexec when they detected a secure state during their first run of bprm_set_creds. Therefore, it is functionally identical to move the detection into bprm_set_creds, since the results from secureexec here only need to be based on the first call to the LSM's bprm_set_creds hook. The single exception is that the commoncaps secureexec hook also examines euid/uid and egid/gid differences which are controlled by bprm_fill_uid(), via prepare_binprm(), which can be called multiple times (e.g. binfmt_script, binfmt_misc), and may clear the euid/egid for the final load (i.e. the script interpreter). However, while commoncaps specifically ignores bprm->cred_prepared, and runs its bprm_set_creds hook each time prepare_binprm() may get called, it needs to base the secureexec decision on the final call to bprm_set_creds. As a result, it will need special handling. To begin this refactoring, this adds the secureexec flag to the bprm struct, and calls the secureexec hook during setup_new_exec(). This is safe since all the cred work is finished (and past the point of no return). This explicit call will be removed in later patches once the hook has been removed.

PAGE_CACHE_{SIZE,SHIFT,MASK,ALIGN} macros were introduced *long* time ago with promise that one day it will be possible to implement page cache with bigger chunks than PAGE_SIZE. This promise never materialized. And unlikely will. We have many places where PAGE_CACHE_SIZE assumed to be equal to PAGE_SIZE. And it's constant source of confusion on whether PAGE_CACHE_* or PAGE_* constant should be used in a particular case, especially on the border between fs and mm. Global switching to PAGE_CACHE_SIZE != PAGE_SIZE would cause to much breakage to be doable. Let's stop pretending that pages in page cache are special. They are not. The changes are pretty straight-forward: - <foo> << (PAGE_CACHE_SHIFT - PAGE_SHIFT) -> <foo>; - <foo> >> (PAGE_CACHE_SHIFT - PAGE_SHIFT) -> <foo>; - PAGE_CACHE_{SIZE,SHIFT,MASK,ALIGN} -> PAGE_{SIZE,SHIFT,MASK,ALIGN}; - page_cache_get() -> get_page(); - page_cache_release() -> put_page(); This patch contains automated changes generated with coccinelle using script below. For some reason, coccinelle doesn't patch header files. I've called spatch for them manually. The only adjustment after coccinelle is revert of changes to PAGE_CAHCE_ALIGN definition: we are going to drop it later. There are few places in the code where coccinelle didn't reach. I'll fix them manually in a separate patch. Comments and documentation also will be addressed with the separate patch. virtual patch @@ expression E; @@ - E << (PAGE_CACHE_SHIFT - PAGE_SHIFT) + E @@ expression E; @@ - E >> (PAGE_CACHE_SHIFT - PAGE_SHIFT) + E @@ @@ - PAGE_CACHE_SHIFT + PAGE_SHIFT @@ @@ - PAGE_CACHE_SIZE + PAGE_SIZE @@ @@ - PAGE_CACHE_MASK + PAGE_MASK @@ expression E; @@ - PAGE_CACHE_ALIGN(E) + PAGE_ALIGN(E) @@ expression E; @@ - page_cache_get(E) + get_page(E) @@ expression E; @@ - page_cache_release(E) + put_page(E) Signed-off-by:Kirill A.

The ELF binary loader in binfmt_elf.c requires an MMU, making it impossible to use regular ELF binaries on NOMMU archs. However, the FDPIC ELF loader in binfmt_elf_fdpic.c is fully capable as a loader for plain ELF, which requires constant displacements between LOAD segments, since it already supports FDPIC ELF files flagged as needing constant displacement. This patch adjusts the FDPIC ELF loader to accept non-FDPIC ELF files on NOMMU archs. They are treated identically to FDPIC ELF files with the constant-displacement flag bit set, except for personality, which must match the ABI of the program being loaded; the PER_LINUX_FDPIC personality controls how the kernel interprets function pointers passed to sigaction. Files that do not set a stack size requirement explicitly are given a default stack size (matching the amount of committed stack the normal ELF loader for MMU archs would give them) rather than being rejected; this is necessary because plain ELF files generally do not declare stack requirements in theit program headers. Only ET_DYN (PIE) format ELF files are supported, since loading at a fixed virtual address is not possible on NOMMU. This patch was developed and tested on J2 (SH2-compatible) but should be usable immediately on all archs where binfmt_elf_fdpic is available. Moreover, by providing dummy definitions of the elf_check_fdpic() and elf_check_const_displacement() macros for archs which lack an FDPIC ABI, it should be possible to enable building of binfmt_elf_fdpic on all other NOMMU archs and thereby give them ELF binary support, but I have not yet tested this. The motivation for using binfmt_elf_fdpic.c rather than adapting binfmt_elf.c to NOMMU is that the former already has all the necessary code to work properly on NOMMU and has already received widespread real-world use and testing. I hope this is not controversial. I'm not really happy with having to unset the FDPIC_FUNCPTRS personality bit when loading non-FDPIC ELF. This bit should really reset automatically on execve, since otherwise, executing non-ELF binaries (e.g. bFLT) from an FDPIC process will leave the personality in the wrong state and severely break signal handling. But that's a separate, existing bug and I don't know the right place to fix it. Signed-off-by:

This continues the theme started with vm_brk() and vm_munmap(): vm_mmap() does the same thing as do_mmap(), but additionally does the required VM locking. This uninlines (and rewrites it to be clearer) do_mmap(), which sadly duplicates it in mm/mmap.c and mm/nommu.c. But that way we don't have to export our internal do_mmap_pgoff() function. Some day we hopefully don't have to export do_mmap() either, if all modular users can become the simpler vm_mmap() instead. We're actually very close to that already, with the notable exception of the (broken) use in i810, and a couple of stragglers in binfmt_elf. Signed-off-by:
