fs/kernel_read_file: allow to read files up-to ssize_t

Patch series "Allow to kexec with initramfs larger than 2G", v2.

Currently, the largest initramfs that is supported by kexec_file_load()
syscall is 2G.

This is because kernel_read_file() returns int, and is limited to INT_MAX
or 2G.

On the other hand, there are kexec based boot loaders (i.e. u-root), that
may need to boot netboot images that might be larger than 2G.

The first patch changes the return type from int to ssize_t in
kernel_read_file* functions.

The second patch increases the maximum initramfs file size to 4G.

Tested: verified that can kexec_file_load() works with 4G initramfs
on x86_64.


This patch (of 2):

Currently, the maximum file size that is supported is 2G. This may be too
small in some cases. For example, kexec_file_load() system call loads
initramfs. In some netboot cases initramfs can be rather large.

Allow to use up-to ssize_t bytes. The callers still can limit the maximum
file size via buf_size.

th

bpf: Verifier, do explicit ALU32 bounds tracking

It is not possible for the current verifier to track ALU32 and JMP ops
correctly. This can result in the verifier aborting with errors even though
the program should be verifiable. BPF codes that hit this can work around
it by changin int variables to 64-bit types, marking variables volatile,
etc. But this is all very ugly so it would be better to avoid these tricks.

But, the main reason to address this now is do_refine_retval_range() was
assuming return values could not be negative. Once we fixed this code that
was previously working will no longer work. See do_refine_retval_range()
patch for details. And we don't want to suddenly cause programs that used
to work to fail.

The simplest example code snippet that illustrates the problem is likely
this,

53: w8 = w0 // r8 <- [0, S32_MAX],
// w8 <- [-S32_MIN, X]
54: w8 <s 0 // r8 <- [0, U32_MAX]
// w8 <- [0, X]

The expected 64-bit and 32-bit bounds after each line are shown on the
right. The current issue is without the w* bounds we are forced to use
the worst case bound of [0, U32_MAX]. To resolve this type of case,
jmp32 creating divergent 32-bit bounds from 64-bit bounds, we add explicit
32-bit register bounds s32_{min|max}_value and u32_{min|max}_value. Then
from branch_taken logic creating new bounds we can track 32-bit bounds
explicitly.

The next case we observed is ALU ops after the jmp32,

53: w8 = w0 // r8 <- [0, S32_MAX],
// w8 <- [-S32_MIN, X]
54: w8 <s 0 // r8 <- [0, U32_MAX]
// w8 <- [0, X]
55: w8 += 1 // r8 <- [0, U32_MAX+1]
// w8 <- [0, X+1]

In order to keep the bounds accurate at this point we also need to track
ALU32 ops. To do this we add explicit ALU32 logic for each of the ALU
ops, mov, add, sub, etc.

Finally there is a question of how and when to merge bounds. The cases
enumerate here,

1. MOV ALU32 - zext 32-bit -> 64-bit
2. MOV ALU64 - copy 64-bit -> 32-bit
3. op ALU32 - zext 32-bit -> 64-bit
4. op ALU64 - n/a
5. jmp ALU32 - 64-bit: var32_off | upper_32_bits(var64_off)
6. jmp ALU64 - 32-bit: (>> (<< var64_off))

Details for each case,

For "MOV ALU32" BPF arch zero extends so we simply copy the bounds
from 32-bit into 64-bit ensuring we truncate var_off and 64-bit
bounds correctly. See zext_32_to_64.

For "MOV ALU64" copy all bounds including 32-bit into new register. If
the src register had 32-bit bounds the dst register will as well.

For "op ALU32" zero extend 32-bit into 64-bit the same as move,
see zext_32_to_64.

For "op ALU64" calculate both 32-bit and 64-bit bounds no merging
is done here. Except we have a special case. When RSH or ARSH is
done we can't simply ignore shifting bits from 64-bit reg into the
32-bit subreg. So currently just push bounds from 64-bit into 32-bit.
This will be correct in the sense that they will represent a valid
state of the register. However we could lose some accuracy if an
ARSH is following a jmp32 operation. We can handle this special
case in a follow up series.

For "jmp ALU32" mark 64-bit reg unknown and recalculate 64-bit bounds
from tnum by setting var_off to ((<<(>>var_off)) | var32_off). We
special case if 64-bit bounds has zero'd upper 32bits at which point
we can simply copy 32-bit bounds into 64-bit register. This catches
a common compiler trick where upper 32-bits are zeroed and then
32-bit ops are used followed by a 64-bit compare or 64-bit op on
a pointer. See __reg_combine_64_into_32().

For "jmp ALU64" cast the bounds of the 64bit to their 32-bit
counterpart. For example s32_min_value = (s32)reg->smin_value. For
tnum use only the lower 32bits via, (>>(<<var_off)). See
__reg_combine_64_into_32().

linux/limits.h: Extract common header for vDSO

The vDSO library should only include the necessary headers required for
a userspace library (UAPI and a minimal set of kernel headers). To make
this possible it is necessary to isolate from the kernel headers the
common parts that are strictly necessary to build the library.

Split limits.h into linux and common headers to make the latter suitable
for inclusion in the vDSO library.

linux/kernel.h: split *_MAX and *_MIN macros into <linux/limits.h>

<linux/kernel.h> tends to be cluttered because we often put various sort
of unrelated stuff in it. So, we have split out a sensible chunk of
code into a separate header from time to time.

This commit splits out the *_MAX and *_MIN defines.

The standard header <limits.h> contains various MAX, MIN constants
including numerial limits. [1]

I think it makes sense to move in-kernel MAX, MIN constants into
include/linux/limits.h.

We already have include/uapi/linux/limits.h to contain some user-space
constants. I changed its include guard to _UAPI_LINUX_LIMITS_H. This
change has no impact to the user-space because
scripts/headers_install.sh rips off the '_UAPI' prefix from the include
guards of exported headers.

Remove CHILD_MAX

The CHILD_MAX macro in limits.h should not be there. It claims to be the
limit on processes a user can own, but its value is wrong for that.
There is no constant value, but a variable resource limit (RLIMIT_NPROC).
Nothing in the kernel uses CHILD_MAX.

The proper thing to do according to POSIX is not to define CHILD_MAX at all.
The sysconf (_SC_CHILD_MAX) implementation works by calling getrlimit.

Linux-2.6.12-rc2

Initial git repository build. I'm not bothering with the full history,
even though we have it. We can create a separate "historical" git
archive of that later if we want to, and in the meantime it's about
3.2GB when imported into git - space that would just make the early
git days unnecessarily complicated, when we don't have a lot of good
infrastructure for it.

Let it rip!

Pull networking updates from David Miller:
"Highlights:

1) Fix the iwlwifi regression, from Johannes Berg.

2) Support BSS coloring and 802.11 encapsulation offloading in
hardware, from John Crispin.

3) Fix some potential Spectre issues in qtnfmac, from Sergey
Matyukevich.

4) Add TTL decrement action to openvswitch, from Matteo Croce.

5) Allow paralleization through flow_action setup by not taking the
RTNL mutex, from Vlad Buslov.

6) A lot of zero-length array to flexible-array conversions, from
Gustavo A. R. Silva.

7) Align XDP statistics names across several drivers for consistency,
from Lorenzo Bianconi.

8) Add various pieces of infrastructure for offloading conntrack, and
make use of it in mlx5 driver, from Paul Blakey.

9) Allow using listening sockets in BPF sockmap, from Jakub Sitnicki.

10) Lots of parallelization improvements during configuration changes
in mlxsw driver, from Ido Schimmel.

11) Add support to devlink for generic packet traps, which report
packets dropped during ACL processing. And use them in mlxsw
driver. From Jiri Pirko.

12) Support bcmgenet on ACPI, from Jeremy Linton.

13) Make BPF compatible with RT, from Thomas Gleixnet, Alexei
Starovoitov, and your's truly.

14) Support XDP meta-data in virtio_net, from Yuya Kusakabe.

15) Fix sysfs permissions when network devices change namespaces, from
Christian Brauner.

16) Add a flags element to ethtool_ops so that drivers can more simply
indicate which coalescing parameters they actually support, and
therefore the generic layer can validate the user's ethtool
request. Use this in all drivers, from Jakub Kicinski.

bpf: Verifier, do explicit ALU32 bounds tracking

It is not possible for the current verifier to track ALU32 and JMP ops
correctly. This can result in the verifier aborting with errors even though
the program should be verifiable. BPF codes that hit this can work around
it by changin int variables to 64-bit types, marking variables volatile,
etc. But this is all very ugly so it would be better to avoid these tricks.

But, the main reason to address this now is do_refine_retval_range() was
assuming return values could not be negative. Once we fixed this code that
was previously working will no longer work. See do_refine_retval_range()
patch for details. And we don't want to suddenly cause programs that used
to work to fail.

The simplest example code snippet that illustrates the problem is likely
this,

53: w8 = w0 // r8 <- [0, S32_MAX],
// w8 <- [-S32_MIN, X]
54: w8 <s 0 // r8 <- [0, U32_MAX]
// w8 <- [0, X]

The expected 64-bit and 32-bit bounds after each line are shown on the
right. The current issue is without the w* bounds we are forced to use
the worst case bound of [0, U32_MAX]. To resolve this type of case,
jmp32 creating divergent 32-bit bounds from 64-bit bounds, we add explicit
32-bit register bounds s32_{min|max}_value and u32_{min|max}_value. Then
from branch_taken logic creating new bounds we can track 32-bit bounds
explicitly.

The next case we observed is ALU ops after the jmp32,

53: w8 = w0 // r8 <- [0, S32_MAX],
// w8 <- [-S32_MIN, X]
54: w8 <s 0 // r8 <- [0, U32_MAX]
// w8 <- [0, X]
55: w8 += 1 // r8 <- [0, U32_MAX+1]
// w8 <- [0, X+1]

In order to keep the bounds accurate at this point we also need to track
ALU32 ops. To do this we add explicit ALU32 logic for each of the ALU
ops, mov, add, sub, etc.

Finally there is a question of how and when to merge bounds. The cases
enumerate here,

1. MOV ALU32 - zext 32-bit -> 64-bit
2. MOV ALU64 - copy 64-bit -> 32-bit
3. op ALU32 - zext 32-bit -> 64-bit
4. op ALU64 - n/a
5. jmp ALU32 - 64-bit: var32_off | upper_32_bits(var64_off)
6. jmp ALU64 - 32-bit: (>> (<< var64_off))

Details for each case,

For "MOV ALU32" BPF arch zero extends so we simply copy the bounds
from 32-bit into 64-bit ensuring we truncate var_off and 64-bit
bounds correctly. See zext_32_to_64.

For "MOV ALU64" copy all bounds including 32-bit into new register. If
the src register had 32-bit bounds the dst register will as well.

For "op ALU32" zero extend 32-bit into 64-bit the same as move,
see zext_32_to_64.

For "op ALU64" calculate both 32-bit and 64-bit bounds no merging
is done here. Except we have a special case. When RSH or ARSH is
done we can't simply ignore shifting bits from 64-bit reg into the
32-bit subreg. So currently just push bounds from 64-bit into 32-bit.
This will be correct in the sense that they will represent a valid
state of the register. However we could lose some accuracy if an
ARSH is following a jmp32 operation. We can handle this special
case in a follow up series.

For "jmp ALU32" mark 64-bit reg unknown and recalculate 64-bit bounds
from tnum by setting var_off to ((<<(>>var_off)) | var32_off). We
special case if 64-bit bounds has zero'd upper 32bits at which point
we can simply copy 32-bit bounds into 64-bit register. This catches
a common compiler trick where upper 32-bits are zeroed and then
32-bit ops are used followed by a 64-bit compare or 64-bit op on
a pointer. See __reg_combine_64_into_32().

For "jmp ALU64" cast the bounds of the 64bit to their 32-bit
counterpart. For example s32_min_value = (s32)reg->smin_value. For
tnum use only the lower 32bits via, (>>(<<var_off)). See
__reg_combine_64_into_32().

The vDSO library should only include the necessary headers required for
a userspace library (UAPI and a minimal set of kernel headers). To make
this possible it is necessary to isolate from the kernel headers the
common parts that are strictly necessary to build the library.

Split limits.h into linux and common headers to make the latter suitable
for inclusion in the vDSO library.

linux/kernel.h: split *_MAX and *_MIN macros into <linux/limits.h>

<linux/kernel.h> tends to be cluttered because we often put various sort
of unrelated stuff in it. So, we have split out a sensible chunk of
code into a separate header from time to time.

This commit splits out the *_MAX and *_MIN defines.

The standard header <limits.h> contains various MAX, MIN constants
including numerial limits. [1]

I think it makes sense to move in-kernel MAX, MIN constants into
include/linux/limits.h.

We already have include/uapi/linux/limits.h to contain some user-space
constants. I changed its include guard to _UAPI_LINUX_LIMITS_H. This
change has no impact to the user-space because
scripts/headers_install.sh rips off the '_UAPI' prefix from the include
guards of exported headers.
