License cleanup: add SPDX GPL-2.0 license identifier to files with no license Many source files in the tree are missing licensing information, which makes it harder for compliance tools to determine the correct license. By default all files without license information are under the default license of the kernel, which is GPL version 2. Update the files which contain no license information with the 'GPL-2.0' SPDX license identifier. The SPDX identifier is a legally binding shorthand, which can be used instead of the full boiler plate text. This patch is based on work done by Thomas Gleixner and Kate Stewart and Philippe Ombredanne. How this work was done: Patches were generated and checked against linux-4.14-rc6 for a subset of the use cases: - file had no licensing information it it. - file was a */uapi/* one with no licensing information in it, - file was a */uapi/* one with existing licensing information, Further patches will be generated in subsequent months to fix up cases where non-standard license headers were used, and references to license had to be inferred by heuristics based on keywords. The analysis to determine which SPDX License Identifier to be applied to a file was done in a spreadsheet of side by side results from of the output of two independent scanners (ScanCode & Windriver) producing SPDX tag:value files created by Philippe Ombredanne. Philippe prepared the base worksheet, and did an initial spot review of a few 1000 files. The 4.13 kernel was the starting point of the analysis with 60,537 files assessed. Kate Stewart did a file by file comparison of the scanner results in the spreadsheet to determine which SPDX license identifier(s) to be applied to the file. She confirmed any determination that was not immediately clear with lawyers working with the Linux Foundation. Criteria used to select files for SPDX license identifier tagging was: - Files considered eligible had to be source code files. - Make and config files were included as candidates if they contained >5 lines of source - File already had some variant of a license header in it (even if <5 lines). All documentation files were explicitly excluded. The following heuristics were used to determine which SPDX license identifiers to apply. - when both scanners couldn't find any license traces, file was considered to have no license information in it, and the top level COPYING file license applied. For non */uapi/* files that summary was: SPDX license identifier # files ---------------------------------------------------|------- GPL-2.0 11139 and resulted in the first patch in this series. If that file was a */uapi/* path one, it was "GPL-2.0 WITH Linux-syscall-note" otherwise it was "GPL-2.0". Results of that was: SPDX license identifier # files ---------------------------------------------------|------- GPL-2.0 WITH Linux-syscall-note 930 and resulted in the second patch in this series. - if a file had some form of licensing information in it, and was one of the */uapi/* ones, it was denoted with the Linux-syscall-note if any GPL family license was found in the file or had no licensing in it (per prior point). Results summary: SPDX license identifier # files ---------------------------------------------------|------ GPL-2.0 WITH Linux-syscall-note 270 GPL-2.0+ WITH Linux-syscall-note 169 ((GPL-2.0 WITH Linux-syscall-note) OR BSD-2-Clause) 21 ((GPL-2.0 WITH Linux-syscall-note) OR BSD-3-Clause) 17 LGPL-2.1+ WITH Linux-syscall-note 15 GPL-1.0+ WITH Linux-syscall-note 14 ((GPL-2.0+ WITH Linux-syscall-note) OR BSD-3-Clause) 5 LGPL-2.0+ WITH Linux-syscall-note 4 LGPL-2.1 WITH Linux-syscall-note 3 ((GPL-2.0 WITH Linux-syscall-note) OR MIT) 3 ((GPL-2.0 WITH Linux-syscall-note) AND MIT) 1 and that resulted in the third patch in this series. - when the two scanners agreed on the detected license(s), that became the concluded license(s). - when there was disagreement between the two scanners (one detected a license but the other didn't, or they both detected different licenses) a manual inspection of the file occurred. - In most cases a manual inspection of the information in the file resulted in a clear resolution of the license that should apply (and which scanner probably needed to revisit its heuristics). - When it was not immediately clear, the license identifier was confirmed with lawyers working with the Linux Foundation. - If there was any question as to the appropriate license identifier, the file was flagged for further research and to be revisited later in time. In total, over 70 hours of logged manual review was done on the spreadsheet to determine the SPDX license identifiers to apply to the source files by Kate, Philippe, Thomas and, in some cases, confirmation by lawyers working with the Linux Foundation. Kate also obtained a third independent scan of the 4.13 code base from FOSSology, and compared selected files where the other two scanners disagreed against that SPDX file, to see if there was new insights. The Windriver scanner is based on an older version of FOSSology in part, so they are related. Thomas did random spot checks in about 500 files from the spreadsheets for the uapi headers and agreed with SPDX license identifier in the files he inspected. For the non-uapi files Thomas did random spot checks in about 15000 files. In initial set of patches against 4.14-rc6, 3 files were found to have copy/paste license identifier errors, and have been fixed to reflect the correct identifier. Additionally Philippe spent 10 hours this week doing a detailed manual inspection and review of the 12,461 patched files from the initial patch version early this week with: - a full scancode scan run, collecting the matched texts, detected license ids and scores - reviewing anything where there was a license detected (about 500+ files) to ensure that the applied SPDX license was correct - reviewing anything where there was no detection but the patch license was not GPL-2.0 WITH Linux-syscall-note to ensure that the applied SPDX license was correct This produced a worksheet with 20 files needing minor correction. This worksheet was then exported into 3 different .csv files for the different types of files to be modified. These .csv files were then reviewed by Greg. Thomas wrote a script to parse the csv files and add the proper SPDX tag to the file, in the format that the file expected. This script was further refined by Greg based on the output to detect more types of files automatically and to distinguish between header and source .c files (which need different comment types.) Finally Greg ran the script using the .csv files to generate the patches.

mnt: Add a per mount namespace limit on the number of mounts CAI Qian <caiqian@redhat.com> pointed out that the semantics of shared subtrees make it possible to create an exponentially increasing number of mounts in a mount namespace. mkdir /tmp/1 /tmp/2 mount --make-rshared / for i in $(seq 1 20) ; do mount --bind /tmp/1 /tmp/2 ; done Will create create 2^20 or 1048576 mounts, which is a practical problem as some people have managed to hit this by accident. As such CVE-2016-6213 was assigned. Ian Kent <raven@themaw.net> described the situation for autofs users as follows: > The number of mounts for direct mount maps is usually not very large because of > the way they are implemented, large direct mount maps can have performance > problems. There can be anywhere from a few (likely case a few hundred) to less > than 10000, plus mounts that have been triggered and not yet expired. > > Indirect mounts have one autofs mount at the root plus the number of mounts that > have been triggered and not yet expired. > > The number of autofs indirect map entries can range from a few to the common > case of several thousand and in rare cases up to between 30000 and 50000. I've > not heard of people with maps larger than 50000 entries. > > The larger the number of map entries the greater the possibility for a large > number of active mounts so it's not hard to expect cases of a 1000 or somewhat > more active mounts. So I am setting the default number of mounts allowed per mount namespace at 100,000. This is more than enough for any use case I know of, but small enough to quickly stop an exponential increase in mounts. Which should be perfect to catch misconfigurations and malfunctioning programs. For anyone who needs a higher limit this can be changed by writing to the new /proc/sys/fs/mount-max sysctl.

Later it is added to an anonymous mount namespace via mount_subvol(): -> mount_subvol() -> mount_subtree() -> alloc_mnt_ns() mnt_add_to_ns() vfs_path_lookup() put_mnt_ns() The mnt_add_to_ns() call raises MNT_ONRB in @mnt->mnt_flags.

preparations to taking MNT_WRITE_HOLD out of ->mnt_flags We have an unpleasant wart in accessibility rules for struct mount. There are per-superblock lists of mounts, used by sb_prepare_remount_readonly() to check if any of those is currently claimed for write access and to block further attempts to get write access on those until we are done. As soon as it is attached to a filesystem, mount becomes reachable via that list. Only sb_prepare_remount_readonly() traverses it and it only accesses a few members of struct mount. Unfortunately, ->mnt_flags is one of those and it is modified - MNT_WRITE_HOLD set and then cleared. It is done under mount_lock, so from the locking rules POV everything's fine. However, it has easily overlooked implications - once mount has been attached to a filesystem, it has to be treated as globally visible. In particular, initializing ->mnt_flags *must* be done either prior to that point or under mount_lock. All other members are still private at that point. Life gets simpler if we move that bit (and that's *all* that can get touched by access via this list) out of ->mnt_flags. It's not even hard to do - currently the list is implemented as list_head one, anchored in super_block->s_mounts and linked via mount->mnt_instance. As the first step, switch it to hlist-like open-coded structure - address of the first mount in the set is stored in ->s_mounts and ->mnt_instance replaced with ->mnt_next_for_sb and ->mnt_pprev_for_sb - the former either NULL or pointing to the next mount in set, the latter - address of either ->s_mounts or ->mnt_next_for_sb in the previous element of the set. In the next commit we'll steal the LSB of ->mnt_pprev_for_sb as replacement for MNT_WRITE_HOLD. Reviewed-by: Christian Brauner <brauner@kernel.org> Signed-off-by: Al Viro <viro@zeniv.linux.org.uk>

fhandle: relax open_by_handle_at() permission checks A current limitation of open_by_handle_at() is that it's currently not possible to use it from within containers at all because we require CAP_DAC_READ_SEARCH in the initial namespace. That's unfortunate because there are scenarios where using open_by_handle_at() from within containers. Two examples: (1) cgroupfs allows to encode cgroups to file handles and reopen them with open_by_handle_at(). (2) Fanotify allows placing filesystem watches they currently aren't usable in containers because the returned file handles cannot be used. Here's a proposal for relaxing the permission check for open_by_handle_at(). (1) Opening file handles when the caller has privileges over the filesystem (1.1) The caller has an unobstructed view of the filesystem. (1.2) The caller has permissions to follow a path to the file handle. This doesn't address the problem of opening a file handle when only a portion of a filesystem is exposed as is common in containers by e.g., bind-mounting a subtree. The proposal to solve this use-case is: (2) Opening file handles when the caller has privileges over a subtree (2.1) The caller is able to reach the file from the provided mount fd. (2.2) The caller has permissions to construct an unobstructed path to the file handle. (2.3) The caller has permissions to follow a path to the file handle. The relaxed permission checks are currently restricted to directory file handles which are what both cgroupfs and fanotify need. Handling disconnected non-directory file handles would lead to a potentially non-deterministic api. If a disconnected non-directory file handle is provided we may fail to decode a valid path that we could use for permission checking. That in itself isn't a problem as we would just return EACCES in that case. However, confusion may arise if a non-disconnected dentry ends up in the cache later and those opening the file handle would suddenly succeed. * It's potentially possible to use timing information (side-channel) to infer whether a given inode exists. I don't think that's particularly problematic. Thanks to Jann for bringing this to my attention. * An unrelated note (IOW, these are thoughts that apply to open_by_handle_at() generically and are unrelated to the changes here): Jann pointed out that we should verify whether deleted files could potentially be reopened through open_by_handle_at(). I don't think that's possible though. Another potential thing to check is whether open_by_handle_at() could be abused to open internal stuff like memfds or gpu stuff. I don't think so but I haven't had the time to completely verify this. This dates back to discussions Amir and I had quite some time ago and thanks to him for providing a lot of details around the export code and related patches!

nsfs: iterate through mount namespaces It is already possible to list mounts in other mount namespaces and to retrieve namespace file descriptors without having to go through procfs by deriving them from pidfds. Augment these abilities by adding the ability to retrieve information about a mount namespace via NS_MNT_GET_INFO. This will return the mount namespace id and the number of mounts currently in the mount namespace. The number of mounts can be used to size the buffer that needs to be used for listmount() and is in general useful without having to actually iterate through all the mounts. The structure is extensible. And add the ability to iterate through all mount namespaces over which the caller holds privilege returning the file descriptor for the next or previous mount namespace. To retrieve a mount namespace the caller must be privileged wrt to it's owning user namespace. This means that PID 1 on the host can list all mounts in all mount namespaces or that a container can list all mounts of its nested containers. Optionally pass a structure for NS_MNT_GET_INFO with NS_MNT_GET_{PREV,NEXT} to retrieve information about the mount namespace in one go. Both ioctls can be implemented for other namespace types easily. Together with recent api additions this means one can iterate through all mounts in all mount namespaces without ever touching procfs.
