692ec06d7c netns: send uevent messages
This patch adds a receive method to NETLINK_KOBJECT_UEVENT netlink sockets
to allow sending uevent messages into the network namespace the socket
belongs to.

Currently non-initial network namespaces are already isolated and don't
receive uevents. There are a number of cases where it is beneficial for a
sufficiently privileged userspace process to send a uevent into a network
namespace.

One such use case would be debugging and fuzzing of a piece of software
which listens and reacts to uevents. By running a copy of that software
inside a network namespace, specific uevents could then be presented to it.
More concretely, this would allow for easy testing of udevd/ueventd.

This will also allow some piece of software to run components inside a
separate network namespace and then effectively filter what that software
can receive. Some examples of software that do directly listen to uevents
and that we have in the past attempted to run inside a network namespace
are rbd (CEPH client) or the X server.

Implementation:
The implementation has been kept as simple as possible from the kernel's
perspective. Specifically, a simple input method uevent_net_rcv() is added
to NETLINK_KOBJECT_UEVENT sockets which completely reuses existing
af_netlink infrastructure and does neither add an additional netlink family
nor requires any user-visible changes.

For example, by using netlink_rcv_skb() we can make use of existing netlink
infrastructure to report back informative error messages to userspace.

Furthermore, this implementation does not introduce any overhead for
existing uevent generating codepaths. The struct netns got a new uevent
socket member that records the uevent socket associated with that network
namespace including its position in the uevent socket list. Since we record
the uevent socket for each network namespace in struct net we don't have to
walk the whole uevent socket list. Instead we can directly retrieve the
relevant uevent socket and send the message. At exit time we can now also
trivially remove the uevent socket from the uevent socket list. This keeps
the codepath very performant without introducing needless overhead and even
makes older codepaths faster.

Uevent sequence numbers are kept global. When a uevent message is sent to
another network namespace the implementation will simply increment the
global uevent sequence number and append it to the received uevent. This
has the advantage that the kernel will never need to parse the received
uevent message to replace any existing uevent sequence numbers. Instead it
is up to the userspace process to remove any existing uevent sequence
numbers in case the uevent message to be sent contains any.

Security:
In order for a caller to send uevent messages to a target network namespace
the caller must have CAP_SYS_ADMIN in the owning user namespace of the
target network namespace. Additionally, any received uevent message is
verified to not exceed size UEVENT_BUFFER_SIZE. This includes the space
needed to append the uevent sequence number.

Testing:
This patch has been tested and verified to work with the following udev
implementations:
1. CentOS 6 with udevd version 147
2. Debian Sid with systemd-udevd version 237
3. Android 7.1.1 with ueventd

94e5e3087a net: add uevent socket member
This commit adds struct uevent_sock to struct net. Since struct uevent_sock
records the position of the uevent socket in the uevent socket list we can
trivially remove it from the uevent socket list during cleanup. This speeds
up the old removal codepath.
Note, list_del() will hit __list_del_entry_valid() in its call chain which
will validate that the element is a member of the list. If it isn't it will
take care that the list is not modified.

15898a011b net: Convert uevent_net_ops
uevent_net_init() and uevent_net_exit() create and
destroy netlink socket, and these actions serialized
in netlink code.

Parallel execution with other pernet_operations
makes the socket disappear earlier from uevent_sock_list
on ->exit. As userspace can't be interested in broadcast
messages of dying net, and, as I see, no one in kernel
listen them, we may safely make uevent_net_ops async.

9b3fa47d4a kobject: fix suppressing modalias in uevents delivered over netlink
The commit 4a336a23d6 ("kobject: copy env blob in one go") optimized
constructing uevent data for delivery over netlink by using the raw
environment buffer, instead of reconstructing it from individual
environment pointers. Unfortunately in doing so it broke suppressing
MODALIAS attribute for KOBJ_UNBIND events, as the code that suppressed this
attribute only adjusted the environment pointers, but left the buffer
itself alone. Let's fix it by making sure the offending attribute is
obliterated form the buffer as well.

045c5f75b7 kobject: Remove redundant license text
Now that the SPDX tag is in all kobject files, that identifies the
license in a specific and legally-defined manner.  So the extra GPL text
wording can be removed as it is no longer needed at all.

This is done on a quest to remove the 700+ different ways that files in
the kernel describe the GPL license text.  And there's unneeded stuff
like the address (sometimes incorrect) for the FSF which is never
needed.

No copyright headers or other non-license-description text was removed.

Update the kobject files files with the correct SPDX license identifier

plate text.

6878e7de6a driver core: suppress sending MODALIAS in UNBIND uevents
The current udev rules cause modules to be loaded on all device events save
for "remove". With the introduction of KOBJ_BIND/KOBJ_UNBIND this causes
issues, as driver modules that have devices bound to their drivers get
immediately reloaded, and it appears to the user that module unloading doe
snot work.

The standard udev matching rule is foillowing:

ENV{MODALIAS}=="?*", RUN{builtin}+="kmod load $env{MODALIAS}"

Given that MODALIAS data is not terribly useful for UNBIND event, let's zap
it from the generated uevent environment until we get userspace updated
with the correct udev rule that only loads modules on "add" event.

1455cf8dbf driver core: emit uevents when device is bound to a driver
There are certain touch controllers that may come up in either normal
(application) or boot mode, depending on whether firmware/configuration is
corrupted when they are powered on. In boot mode the kernel does not create
input device instance (because it does not necessarily know the
characteristics of the input device in question).

Another number of controllers does not store firmware in a non-volatile
memory, and they similarly need to have firmware loaded before input device
instance is created. There are also other types of devices with similar
behavior.

There is a desire to be able to trigger firmware loading via udev, but it
has to happen only when driver is bound to a physical device (i2c or spi).
These udev actions can not use ADD events, as those happen too early, so we
are introducing BIND and UNBIND events that are emitted at the right
moment.

Also, many drivers create additional driver-specific device attributes
when binding to the device, to provide userspace with additional controls.
The new events allow userspace to adjust these driver-specific attributes
without worrying that they are not there yet.

f36776fafb kobject: support passing in variables for synthetic uevents
This patch makes it possible to pass additional arguments in addition
to uevent action name when writing /sys/.../uevent attribute. These
additional arguments are then inserted into generated synthetic uevent
as additional environment variables.

Before, we were not able to pass any additional uevent environment
variables for synthetic uevents. This made it hard to identify such uevents
properly in userspace to make proper distinction between genuine uevents
originating from kernel and synthetic uevents triggered from userspace.
Also, it was not possible to pass any additional information which would
make it possible to optimize and change the way the synthetic uevents are
processed back in userspace based on the originating environment of the
triggering action in userspace. With the extra additional variables, we are
able to pass through this extra information needed and also it makes it
possible to synchronize with such synthetic uevents as they can be clearly
identified back in userspace.

The format for writing the uevent attribute is following:

    ACTION [UUID [KEY=VALUE ...]

There's no change in how "ACTION" is recognized - it stays the same
("add", "change", "remove"). The "ACTION" is the only argument required
to generate synthetic uevent, the rest of arguments, that this patch
adds support for, are optional.

The "UUID" is considered as transaction identifier so it's possible to
use the same UUID value for one or more synthetic uevents in which case
we logically group these uevents together for any userspace listeners.
The "UUID" is expected to be in "xxxxxxxx-xxxx-xxxx-xxxx-xxxxxxxxxxxx"
format where "x" is a hex digit. The value appears in uevent as
"SYNTH_UUID=xxxxxxxx-xxxx-xxxx-xxxx-xxxxxxxxxxxx" environment variable.

The "KEY=VALUE" pairs can contain alphanumeric characters only. It's
possible to define zero or more more pairs - each pair is then delimited
by a space character " ". Each pair appears in synthetic uevents as
"SYNTH_ARG_KEY=VALUE" environment variable. That means the KEY name gains
"SYNTH_ARG_" prefix to avoid possible collisions with existing variables.
To pass the "KEY=VALUE" pairs, it's also required to pass in the "UUID"
part for the synthetic uevent first.

If "UUID" is not passed in, the generated synthetic uevent gains
"SYNTH_UUID=0" environment variable automatically so it's possible to
identify this situation in userspace when reading generated uevent and so
we can still make a difference between genuine and synthetic uevents.

bcccff93af kobject: don't block for each kobject_uevent
Currently kobject_uevent has somewhat unpredictable semantics.  The
point is, since it may call a usermode helper and wait for it to execute
(UMH_WAIT_EXEC), it is impossible to say for sure what lock dependencies
it will introduce for the caller - strictly speaking it depends on what
fs the binary is located on and the set of locks fork may take.  There
are quite a few kobject_uevent's users that do not take this into
account and call it with various mutexes taken, e.g.  rtnl_mutex,
net_mutex, which might potentially lead to a deadlock.

Since there is actually no reason to wait for the usermode helper to
execute there, let's make kobject_uevent start the helper asynchronously
with the aid of the UMH_NO_WAIT flag.

Personally, I'm interested in this, because I really want kobject_uevent
to be called under the slab_mutex in the slub implementation as it used
to be some time ago, because it greatly simplifies synchronization and
automatically fixes a kmemcg-related race.  However, there was a
deadlock detected on an attempt to call kobject_uevent under the
slab_mutex (see https://lkml.org/lkml/2012/1/14/45), which was reported
to be fixed by releasing the slab_mutex for kobject_uevent.

Unfortunately, there was no information about who exactly blocked on the
slab_mutex causing the usermode helper to stall, neither have I managed
to find this out or reproduce the issue.

BTW, this is not the first attempt to make kobject_uevent use
UMH_NO_WAIT.  Previous one was made by commit f520360d93 ("kobject:
don't block for each kobject_uevent"), but it was wrong (it passed
arguments allocated on stack to async thread) so it was reverted in
05f54c13cd ("Revert "kobject: don't block for each kobject_uevent".").
It targeted on speeding up the boot process though.

That can be passed to netlink_kernel_create to set optional configurations
for netlink kernel sockets.

I've populated this structure by looking for NULL and zero parameters at the
existing code. The remaining parameters that always need to be set are still
left in the original interface.

That includes optional parameters for the netlink socket creation. This allows
easy extensibility of this interface in the future.

7b60a18da3 uevent: send events in correct order according to seqnum (v3)
The queue handling in the udev daemon assumes that the events are
ordered.

Before this patch uevent_seqnum is incremented under sequence_lock,
than an event is send uner uevent_sock_mutex. I want to say that code
contained a window between incrementing seqnum and sending an event.

This patch locks uevent_sock_mutex before incrementing uevent_seqnum.

v2: delete sequence_lock, uevent_seqnum is protected by uevent_sock_mutex
v3: unlock the mutex before the goto exit

Thanks for Kay for the comments.

5a0e3ad6af include cleanup: Update gfp.h and slab.h includes to prepare for breaking implicit slab.h inclusion from percpu.h
percpu.h is included by sched.h and module.h and thus ends up being
included when building most .c files.  percpu.h includes slab.h which
in turn includes gfp.h making everything defined by the two files
universally available and complicating inclusion dependencies.

percpu.h -> slab.h dependency is about to be removed.  Prepare for
this change by updating users of gfp and slab facilities include those
headers directly instead of assuming availability.  As this conversion
needs to touch large number of source files, the following script is
used as the basis of conversion.

  http://userweb.kernel.org/~tj/misc/slabh-sweep.py

The script does the followings.

* Scan files for gfp and slab usages and update includes such that
  only the necessary includes are there.  ie. if only gfp is used,
  gfp.h, if slab is used, slab.h.

* When the script inserts a new include, it looks at the include
  blocks and try to put the new include such that its order conforms
  to its surrounding.  It's put in the include block which contains
  core kernel includes, in the same order that the rest are ordered -
  alphabetical, Christmas tree, rev-Xmas-tree or at the end if there
  doesn't seem to be any matching order.

* If the script can't find a place to put a new include (mostly
  because the file doesn't have fitting include block), it prints out
  an error message indicating which .h file needs to be added to the
  file.

The conversion was done in the following steps.

1. The initial automatic conversion of all .c files updated slightly
   over 4000 files, deleting around 700 includes and adding ~480 gfp.h
   and ~3000 slab.h inclusions.  The script emitted errors for ~400
   files.

2. Each error was manually checked.  Some didn't need the inclusion,
   some needed manual addition while adding it to implementation .h or
   embedding .c file was more appropriate for others.  This step added
   inclusions to around 150 files.

3. The script was run again and the output was compared to the edits
   from #2 to make sure no file was left behind.

4. Several build tests were done and a couple of problems were fixed.
   e.g. lib/decompress_*.c used malloc/free() wrappers around slab
   APIs requiring slab.h to be added manually.

5. The script was run on all .h files but without automatically
   editing them as sprinkling gfp.h and slab.h inclusions around .h
   files could easily lead to inclusion dependency hell.  Most gfp.h
   inclusion directives were ignored as stuff from gfp.h was usually
   wildly available and often used in preprocessor macros.  Each
   slab.h inclusion directive was examined and added manually as
   necessary.

6. percpu.h was updated not to include slab.h.

7. Build test were done on the following configurations and failures
   were fixed.  CONFIG_GCOV_KERNEL was turned off for all tests (as my
   distributed build env didn't work with gcov compiles) and a few
   more options had to be turned off depending on archs to make things
   build (like ipr on powerpc/64 which failed due to missing writeq).

   * x86 and x86_64 UP and SMP allmodconfig and a custom test config.
   * powerpc and powerpc64 SMP allmodconfig
   * sparc and sparc64 SMP allmodconfig
   * ia64 SMP allmodconfig
   * s390 SMP allmodconfig
   * alpha SMP allmodconfig
   * um on x86_64 SMP allmodconfig

8. percpu.h modifications were reverted so that it could be applied as
   a separate patch and serve as bisection point.

Given the fact that I had only a couple of failures from tests on step
6, I'm fairly confident about the coverage of this conversion patch.
If there is a breakage, it's likely to be something in one of the arch
headers which should be easily discoverable easily on most builds of
the specific arch.

Constify struct kset_uevent_ops.

This is part of the ops structure constification
effort started by Arjan van de Ven et al.

Benefits of this constification:

 * prevents modification of data that is shared
   (referenced) by many other structure instances
   at runtime

 * detects/prevents accidental (but not intentional)
   modification attempts on archs that enforce
   read-only kernel data at runtime

 * potentially better optimized code as the compiler
   can assume that the const data cannot be changed

 * the compiler/linker move const data into .rodata
   and therefore exclude them from false sharing

05f54c13cd Revert "kobject: don't block for each kobject_uevent".
This reverts commit f520360d93.

Tetsuo Handa, running a kernel with CONFIG_DEBUG_PAGEALLOC=y and
CONFIG_UEVENT_HELPER_PATH=/sbin/hotplug, has been hitting RCU detected
CPU stalls: it's been spinning in the loop where do_execve() counts up
the args (but why wasn't fixup_exception working? dunno).

The recent change, switching kobject_uevent_env() from UMH_WAIT_EXEC
to UMH_NO_WAIT, is broken: the exec uses args on the local stack here,
and an env which is kfreed as soon as call_usermodehelper() returns.
It very much needs to wait for the exec to be done.

An alternative would be to keep the UMH_NO_WAIT, and complicate the code
to allocate and free these resources correctly? but no, as GregKH
pointed out when making the commit, CONFIG_UEVENT_HELPER_PATH="" is a
much better optimization - though some distros are still saying
/sbin/hotplug in their .config, yet with no such binary in their initrd
or their root.

f520360d93 kobject: don't block for each kobject_uevent
Right now, the kobject_uevent code blocks for each uevent that's being
generated, due to using (for hystoric reasons) UHM_WAIT_EXEC as flag to
call_usermode_helper().  Specifically, the effect is that each uevent
that is being sent causes the code to wake up keventd, then block until
keventd has processed the work. Needless to say, this happens many times
during the system boot.

This patches changes that to UHN_NO_WAIT (brilliant name for a constant
btw) so that we only schedule the work to fire the uevent message, but
do not wait for keventd to process the work.

This removes one of the bottlenecks during boot; each one of them is
only a small effect, but the sum of them does add up.

[Note, distros that need this are broken, they should be setting
CONFIG_UEVENT_HELPER_PATH to "", that way this code path will never be
excuted at all -- gregkh]

f67f129e51 Driver core: implement uevent suppress in kobject
This patch implements uevent suppress in kobject and removes it
from struct device, based on the following ideas:

1,Uevent sending should be one attribute of kobject, so suppressing it
in kobject layer is more natural than in device layer. By this way,
we can do it for other objects embedded with kobject.

2,It may save several bytes for each instance of struct device.(On my
omap3(32bit ARM) based box, can save 8bytes per device object)

This patch also introduces dev_set|get_uevent_suppress() helpers to
set and query uevent_suppress attribute in case to help kobject
as private part of struct device in future.

[This version is against the latest driver-core patch set of Greg,please
ignore the last version.]

ff491a7334 netlink: change return-value logic of netlink_broadcast()
Currently, netlink_broadcast() reports errors to the caller if no
messages at all were delivered:

1) If, at least, one message has been delivered correctly, returns 0.
2) Otherwise, if no messages at all were delivered due to skb_clone()
   failure, return -ENOBUFS.
3) Otherwise, if there are no listeners, return -ESRCH.

With this patch, the caller knows if the delivery of any of the
messages to the listeners have failed:

1) If it fails to deliver any message (for whatever reason), return
   -ENOBUFS.
2) Otherwise, if all messages were delivered OK, returns 0.
3) Otherwise, if no listeners, return -ESRCH.

In the current ctnetlink code and in Netfilter in general, we can add
reliable logging and connection tracking event delivery by dropping the
packets whose events were not successfully delivered over Netlink. Of
course, this option would be settable via /proc as this approach reduces
performance (in terms of filtered connections per seconds by a stateful
firewall) but providing reliable logging and event delivery (for
conntrackd) in return.

This patch also changes some clients of netlink_broadcast() that
may report ENOBUFS errors via printk. This error handling is not
of any help. Instead, the userspace daemons that are listening to
those netlink messages should resync themselves with the kernel-side
if they hit ENOBUFS.

BTW, netlink_broadcast() clients include those that call
cn_netlink_send(), nlmsg_multicast() and genlmsg_multicast() since they
internally call netlink_broadcast() and return its error value.
