2019-12-15T19:36:12+00:00

Pull ksys_mount() and ksys_dup() removal from Dominik Brodowski: "This small series replaces all in-kernel calls to the userspace-focused ksys_mount() and ksys_dup() with calls to kernel-centric functions: For each replacement of ksys_mount() with do_mount(), one needs to verify that the first and third parameter (char *dev_name, char *type) are strings allocated in kernelspace and that the fifth parameter (void *data) is either NULL or refers to a full page (only occurence in init/do_mounts.c::do_mount_root()). The second and fourth parameters (char *dir_name, unsigned long flags) are passed by ksys_mount() to do_mount() unchanged, and therefore do not require particular care. Moreover, instead of pretending to be userspace, the opening of /dev/console as stdin/stdout/stderr can be implemented using in-kernel functions as well. Thereby, ksys_dup() can be removed for good" [ This doesn't get rid of the special "kernel init runs with KERNEL_DS" case, but it at least removes _some_ of the users of "treat kernel pointers as user pointers for our magical init sequence". One day we'll hopefully be rid of it all, and can initialize our init_thread addr_limit to USER_DS. - Linus ] * 'remove-ksys-mount-dup' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/brodo/linux: fs: remove ksys_dup() init: unify opening /dev/console as stdin/stdout/stderr init: use do_mount() instead of ksys_mount() initrd: use do_mount() instead of ksys_mount() devtmpfs: use do_mount() instead of ksys_mount()

Pull power management fixes from Rafael Wysocki: "These add PM QoS support to devfreq and fix a few issues in that subsystem, fix two cpuidle issues and do one minor cleanup in there, and address an ACPI power management problem related to devices with special power management requirements, like fans. Specifics: - Add PM QoS support, based on the frequency QoS introduced during the 5.4 cycle, to devfreq (Leonard Crestez). - Fix some assorted devfreq issues (Leonard Crestez). - Fix an unintentional cpuidle behavior change (introduced during the 5.4 cycle) related to the active polling time limit (Marcelo Tosatti). - Fix a recently introduced cpuidle helper function and do a minor cleanup in the cpuidle core (Rafael Wysocki). - Avoid adding devices with special power management requirements, like fans, to the generic ACPI PM domain (Rafael Wysocki)" * tag 'pm-5.5-rc2' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/rafael/linux-pm: cpuidle: Drop unnecessary type cast in cpuidle_poll_time() cpuidle: Fix cpuidle_driver_state_disabled() ACPI: PM: Avoid attaching ACPI PM domain to certain devices cpuidle: use first valid target residency as poll time PM / devfreq: Use PM QoS for sysfs min/max_freq PM / devfreq: Add PM QoS support PM / devfreq: Don't fail devfreq_dev_release if not in list PM / devfreq: Introduce get_freq_range helper PM / devfreq: Set scaling_max_freq to max on OPP notifier error PM / devfreq: Fix devfreq_notifier_call returning errno

Merge tag 'sizeof_field-v5.5-rc2' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/kees/linux

2019-12-13T22:02:12+00:00

Pull FIELD_SIZEOF conversion from Kees Cook: "A mostly mechanical treewide conversion from FIELD_SIZEOF() to sizeof_field(). This avoids the redundancy of having 2 macros (actually 3) doing the same thing, and consolidates on sizeof_field(). While "field" is not an accurate name, it is the common name used in the kernel, and doesn't result in any unintended innuendo. As there are still users of FIELD_SIZEOF() in -next, I will clean up those during this coming development cycle and send the final old macro removal patch at that time" * tag 'sizeof_field-v5.5-rc2' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/kees/linux: treewide: Use sizeof_field() macro MIPS: OCTEON: Replace SIZEOF_FIELD() macro

fs: remove ksys_dup()

2019-12-12T18:00:36+00:00

ksys_dup() is used only at one place in the kernel, namely to duplicate fd 0 of /dev/console to stdout and stderr. The same functionality can be achieved by using functions already available within the kernel namespace. Signed-off-by: Dominik Brodowski

init: unify opening /dev/console as stdin/stdout/stderr

2019-12-12T17:58:24+00:00

Merge the two instances where /dev/console is opened as stdin/stdout/stderr. Signed-off-by: Dominik Brodowski

blk-cgroup: remove blkcg_drain_queue

2019-12-12T16:26:55+00:00

Since blk_drain_queue had already been removed, so this function is not needed anymore. Signed-off-by: Guoqing Jiang Signed-off-by: Jens Axboe

init: use do_mount() instead of ksys_mount()

2019-12-12T13:50:05+00:00

In prepare_namespace(), do_mount() can be used instead of ksys_mount() as the first and third argument are const strings in the kernel, the second and fourth argument are passed through anyway, and the fifth argument is NULL. In do_mount_root(), ksys_mount() is called with the first and third argument being already kernelspace strings, which do not need to be copied over from userspace to kernelspace (again). The second and fourth arguments are passed through to do_mount() anyway. The fifth argument, while already residing in kernelspace, needs to be put into a page of its own. Then, do_mount() can be used instead of ksys_mount(). Once this is done, there are no in-kernel users to ksys_mount() left, which can therefore be removed. Signed-off-by: Dominik Brodowski

devtmpfs: use do_mount() instead of ksys_mount()

2019-12-12T13:49:57+00:00

In devtmpfs, do_mount() can be called directly instead of complex wrapping by ksys_mount(): - the first and third arguments are const strings in the kernel, and do not need to be copied over from userspace; - the fifth argument is NULL, and therefore no page needs to be copied over from userspace; - the second and fourth argument are passed through anyway.
