Currently, we can run string-stream and assertion tests only when they
are built into the kernel (with config options = y), since some of the
symbols (string-stream functions and functions from assert.c) are not
exported into any of the namespaces, therefore they are not accessible
for the modules.
This patch series exports the required symbols into the KUnit namespace.
Also, it makes the string-stream test a separate module and removes the
log test stub from kunit-test since now we can access the string-stream
symbols even if the test which uses it is built as a module.
Additionally, this patch series merges the assertion test suite into the
kunit-test, since assert.c (and all of the assertion formatting
functions in it) is a part of the KUnit core.

kunit: string-stream-test: Make it a separate module

2.34.1
The perf subsystem today unifies various tracing and monitoring
features, from both software and hardware. One benefit of the perf
subsystem is automatically inheriting events to child tasks, which
enables process-wide events monitoring with low overheads. By default
perf events are non-intrusive, not affecting behaviour of the tasks
being monitored.
For certain use-cases, however, it makes sense to leverage the
generality of the perf events subsystem and optionally allow the tasks
being monitored to receive signals on events they are interested in.
This patch series adds the option to synchronously signal user space on
events.
To better support process-wide synchronous self-monitoring, without
events propagating to children that do not share the current process's
shared environment, two pre-requisite patches are added to optionally
restrict inheritance to CLONE_THREAD, and remove events on exec (without
affecting the parent).
Examples how to use these features can be found in the tests added at
the end of the series. In addition to the tests added, the series has
also been subjected to syzkaller fuzzing (focus on 'kernel/events/'
coverage).
Motivation and Example Uses
---------------------------
1. Our immediate motivation is low-overhead sampling-based race
detection for user space [1]. By using perf_event_open() at
process initialization, we can create hardware
breakpoint/watchpoint events that are propagated automatically
to all threads in a process. As far as we are aware, today no
existing kernel facility (such as ptrace) allows us to set up
process-wide watchpoints with minimal overheads (that are
comparable to mprotect() of whole pages).
2. Other low-overhead error detectors that rely on detecting
accesses to certain memory locations or code, process-wide and
also only in a specific set of subtasks or threads.
[1] https://llvm.org/devmtg/2020-09/slides/Morehouse-GWP-Tsan.pdf
Other ideas for use-cases we found interesting, but should only
illustrate the range of potential to further motivate the utility (we're
sure there are more):
3. Code hot patching without full stop-the-world. Specifically, by
setting a code breakpoint to entry to the patched routine, then
send signals to threads and check that they are not in the
routine, but without stopping them further. If any of the
threads will enter the routine, it will receive SIGTRAP and
pause.
4. Safepoints without mprotect(). Some Java implementations use
"load from a known memory location" as a safepoint. When threads
need to be stopped, the page containing the location is
mprotect()ed and threads get a signal. This could be replaced with
a watchpoint, which does not require a whole page nor DTLB
shootdowns.
5. Threads receiving signals on performance events to
throttle/unthrottle themselves.
6. Tracking data flow globally.
Changelog
---------
v4:
* Fix for parent and child racing to exit in sync_child_event().
* Fix race between irq_work running and task's sighand being released by
release_task().
* Generalize setting si_perf and si_addr independent of event type;
introduces perf_event_attr::sig_data, which can be set by user space
to be propagated to si_perf.
* Warning in perf_sigtrap() if ctx->task and current mismatch; we expect
this on architectures that do not properly implement
arch_irq_work_raise().
* Require events that want sigtrap to be associated with a task.
* Dropped "perf: Add breakpoint information to siginfo on SIGTRAP"
in favor of more generic solution (perf_event_attr::sig_data).
v3:
* Add patch "perf: Rework perf_event_exit_event()" to beginning of
series, courtesy of Peter Zijlstra.
* Rework "perf: Add support for event removal on exec" based on
the added "perf: Rework perf_event_exit_event()".
* Fix kselftests to work with more recent libc, due to the way it forces
using the kernel's own siginfo_t.
* Add basic perf-tool built-in test.
v2/RFC: https://lkml.kernel.org/r/20210310104139.679618-1-elver@google.com
* Patch "Support only inheriting events if cloned with CLONE_THREAD"
added to series.
* Patch "Add support for event removal on exec" added to series.
* Patch "Add kselftest for process-wide sigtrap handling" added to
series.
* Patch "Add kselftest for remove_on_exec" added to series.
* Implicitly restrict inheriting events if sigtrap, but the child was
cloned with CLONE_CLEAR_SIGHAND, because it is not generally safe if
the child cleared all signal handlers to continue sending SIGTRAP.
* Various minor fixes (see details in patches).
v1/RFC: https://lkml.kernel.org/r/20210223143426.2412737-1-elver@google.com

2.31.0.208.g409f899ff0-goog
This patch series is motivated by the following observation:
Raise a signal, jump to signal handler. The ucontext_t structure dumped
by kernel to userspace has a uc_sigmask field having the mask of blocked
signals. If you run a fresh minimalistic program doing this, this field
is empty, even if you block some signals while registering the handler
with sigaction().
Here is what the man-pages have to say:
sigaction(2): "sa_mask specifies a mask of signals which should be blocked
(i.e., added to the signal mask of the thread in which the signal handler
is invoked) during execution of the signal handler. In addition, the
signal which triggered the handler will be blocked, unless the SA_NODEFER
flag is used."
signal(7): Under "Execution of signal handlers", (1.3) implies:
"The thread's current signal mask is accessible via the ucontext_t
object that is pointed to by the third argument of the signal handler."
But, (1.4) states:
"Any signals specified in act->sa_mask when registering the handler with
sigprocmask(2) are added to the thread's signal mask. The signal being
delivered is also added to the signal mask, unless SA_NODEFER was
specified when registering the handler. These signals are thus blocked
while the handler executes."
There clearly is no distinction being made in the man pages between
"Thread's signal mask" and ucontext_t; this logically should imply
that a signal blocked by populating struct sigaction should be visible
in ucontext_t.
Here is what the kernel code does (for Aarch64):
do_signal() -> handle_signal() -> sigmask_to_save(), which returns
¤t->blocked, is passed to setup_rt_frame() -> setup_sigframe() ->
__copy_to_user(). Hence, ¤t->blocked is copied to ucontext_t
exposed to userspace. Returning back to handle_signal(),
signal_setup_done() -> signal_delivered() -> sigorsets() and
set_current_blocked() are responsible for using information from
struct ksignal ksig, which was populated through the sigaction()
system call in kernel/signal.c:
copy_from_user(&new_sa.sa, act, sizeof(new_sa.sa)),
to update ¤t->blocked; hence, the set of blocked signals for the
current thread is updated AFTER the kernel dumps ucontext_t to
userspace.
Assuming that the above is indeed the intended behaviour, because it
semantically makes sense, since the signals blocked using sigaction()
remain blocked only till the execution of the handler, and not in the
context present before jumping to the handler (but nothing can be
confirmed from the man-pages), the series introduces a test for
mangling with uc_sigmask. I will send a separate series to fix the
man-pages.
The proposed selftest has been tested out on Aarch32, Aarch64 and x86_64.
Changes in v2:
- Replace all occurrences of SIGPIPE with SIGSEGV
- Add a testcase: Raise the same signal again; it must not be queued
- Remove unneeded <assert.h>, <unistd.h>
- Give a detailed test description in the comments; also describe the
exact meaning of delivered and blocked
- Handle errors for all libc functions/syscalls
- Mention tests in Makefile and .gitignore in alphabetical order

2.34.1
From: Jeff Xu <jeffxu(a)chromium.org>
When MFD_NOEXEC_SEAL was introduced, there was one big mistake: it
didn't have proper documentation. This led to a lot of confusion,
especially about whether or not memfd created with the MFD_NOEXEC_SEAL
flag is sealable. Before MFD_NOEXEC_SEAL, memfd had to explicitly set
MFD_ALLOW_SEALING to be sealable, so it's a fair question.
As one might have noticed, unlike other flags in memfd_create,
MFD_NOEXEC_SEAL is actually a combination of multiple flags. The idea
is to make it easier to use memfd in the most common way, which is
NOEXEC + F_SEAL_EXEC + MFD_ALLOW_SEALING. This works with sysctl
vm.noexec to help existing applications move to a more secure way of
using memfd.
Proposals have been made to put MFD_NOEXEC_SEAL non-sealable, unless
MFD_ALLOW_SEALING is set, to be consistent with other flags [1] [2],
Those are based on the viewpoint that each flag is an atomic unit,
which is a reasonable assumption. However, MFD_NOEXEC_SEAL was
designed with the intent of promoting the most secure method of using
memfd, therefore a combination of multiple functionalities into one
bit.
Furthermore, the MFD_NOEXEC_SEAL has been added for more than one
year, and multiple applications and distributions have backported and
utilized it. Altering ABI now presents a degree of risk and may lead
to disruption.
MFD_NOEXEC_SEAL is a new flag, and applications must change their code
to use it. There is no backward compatibility problem.
When sysctl vm.noexec == 1 or 2, applications that don't set
MFD_NOEXEC_SEAL or MFD_EXEC will get MFD_NOEXEC_SEAL memfd. And
old-application might break, that is by-design, in such a system
vm.noexec = 0 shall be used. Also no backward compatibility problem.
I propose to include this documentation patch to assist in clarifying
the semantics of MFD_NOEXEC_SEAL, thereby preventing any potential
future confusion.
This patch supersede previous patch which is trying different
direction [3], and please remove [2] from mm-unstable branch when
applying this patch.
Finally, I would like to express my gratitude to David Rheinsberg and
Barnabás Pőcze for initiating the discussion on the topic of sealability.

The different patches here are some unrelated fixes for MPTCP:
- Patch 1 ensures 'snd_una' is initialised on connect in case of MPTCP
fallback to TCP followed by retransmissions before the processing of
any other incoming packets. A fix for v5.9+.
- Patch 2 makes sure the RmAddr MIB counter is incremented, and only
once per ID, upon the reception of a RM_ADDR. A fix for v5.10+.
- Patch 3 doesn't update 'add addr' related counters if the connect()
was not possible. A fix for v5.7+.
- Patch 4 updates the mailmap file to add Geliang's new email address.

Hi,
This builds on the proposal[1] from Mark and lets me convert the
existing usercopy selftest to KUnit. Besides adding this basic test to
the KUnit collection, it also opens the door for execve testing (which
depends on having a functional current->mm), and should provide the
basic infrastructure for adding Mark's much more complete usercopy tests.
