[PATCH RESEND v11 6/8] namei: aggressively check for nd->root escape on ".." resolution

This patch allows for LOOKUP_BENEATH and LOOKUP_IN_ROOT to safely permit ".." resolution (in the case of LOOKUP_BENEATH the resolution will still fail if ".." resolution would resolve a path outside of the root -- while LOOKUP_IN_ROOT will chroot(2)-style scope it). Magic-link jumps are still disal

[PATCH RESEND v11 1/8] namei: obey trailing magic-link DAC permissions

The ability for userspace to "re-open" file descriptors through /proc/self/fd has been a very useful tool for all sorts of usecases (container runtimes are one common example). However, the current interface for doing this has resulted in some pretty subtle security holes. Userspace can re-open a f

[PATCH RESEND v11 2/8] procfs: switch magic-link modes to be more sane

Now that magic-link modes are obeyed for file re-opening purposes, some of the pre-existing magic-link modes need to be adjusted to be more semantically correct. The most blatant example of this is /proc/self/exe, which had a mode of a+rwx even though tautologically the file could never be opened

[PATCH v11 6/7] powerpc/memcpy: Add memcpy_mcsafe for pmem

From: Balbir Singh The pmem infrastructure uses memcpy_mcsafe in the pmem layer so as to convert machine check exceptions into a return value on failure in case a machine check exception is encountered during the memcpy. The return value is the number of bytes remaining to be copied. This patch

[PATCH v11 5/7] powerpc/mce: Handle UE event for memcpy_mcsafe

[PATCH v11 4/7] extable: Add function to search only kernel exception table

Certain architecture specific operating modes (e.g., in powerpc machine check handler that is unable to access vmalloc memory), the search_exception_tables cannot be called because it also searches the module exception tables if entry is not found in the kernel exception table. Cc: Thomas Gleixner

From: Balbir Singh The current code would fail on huge pages addresses, since the shift would be incorrect. Use the correct page shift value returned by __find_linux_pte() to get the correct physical address. The code is more generic and can handle both regular and compound pages. Fixes: ba41e1e

[PATCH v11 0/7] powerpc: implement machine check safe memcpy

During a memcpy from a pmem device, if a machine check exception is generated we end up in a panic. In case of fsdax read, this should only result in a -EIO. Avoid MCE by implementing memcpy_mcsafe. Before this patch series: ``` bash-4.4# mount -o dax /dev/pmem0 /mnt/pmem/ [ 7621.714094] Disablin

Back in 2004 we added logic to arch/ppc64/Makefile to pass the --synthetic option to nm, if it was supported by nm. Then in 2005 when arch/ppc64 and arch/ppc were merged, the logic to add --synthetic was moved inside an #ifdef CONFIG_PPC64 block within arch/powerpc/Makefile, and has remained there
