Linus Torvalds 845f394e46 Merge tag 'sysctl-7.04-rc1' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/sysctl/sysctl
Pull sysctl updates from Joel Granados:

 - Disallow partial vector updates

   Stage sysctl vector writes before updating. Removes the chance of
   leaving a sysctl vector partially updated due to erroneous input.
   This is not an atomic write; a concurrent reader can still see a
   partially updated vector.

 - Remove redundant sysctl config guards

   Remove locations where (CONFIG_SYSCTL && CONFIG_PROC_FS) was checked.
   They are superfluous as CONFIG_SYSCTL now depends directly on
   CONFIG_PROC_FS.

 - Rewrite selftests using KTAP helpers

   Each test now reports its own KTAP result and runs in a subshell.
   Test suite continues after failure.

 - Misc

   Fix a use-after-free in the selftests test_sysctl module. Quiet an
   unused variable warning in fs/proc/proc_sysctl.c:init_header(). Add
   tests for partial vector updates and the int jiffies converters.

* tag 'sysctl-7.04-rc1' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/sysctl/sysctl:

Zhan Xusheng e955f14fa8 sysctl: Negate before converting in the int read path
proc_int_k2u_conv_kop() reports the sign through *negp and the magnitude
through *u_ptr, but for a negative value it hands the sign-extended int to
the converter and negates the result:

	*u_ptr = k_ptr_op ? -k_ptr_op((ulong)val) : -(ulong)val;

With div_hz() and CONFIG_HZ=1000 a stored -1000 becomes
(ulong)-1000 / 1000 == 18446744073709550, and negating that wraps:

	# echo -1 > /proc/sys/net/ipv4/tcp_fin_timeout
	# cat /proc/sys/net/ipv4/tcp_fin_timeout
	-18428297329635842066

The magnitude is HZ dependent but the wrap is not: the negation happens
after the division at every CONFIG_HZ.

Take the magnitude first and convert that, which is what the open-coded
version did before commit 2dc164a48e ("sysctl: Create converter
functions with two new macros") folded it into a macro.  The
k_ptr_op == NULL branch was already correct.

All three int converters that pass a k_ptr_op are affected:
proc_dointvec_jiffies(), proc_dointvec_userhz_jiffies() and
proc_dointvec_ms_jiffies().

Joel Granados 242bac5229 sysctl: Disallow partial updates for erroneous sysctl vectors
When updating the kernel sysctl vectors there is a chance that not all
vector elements are updated due to erroneous input. Use a staging
variable that holds a copy of the vector and commits to the actual
table->data only when all input is successfully updated. This does
**not** make the write atomic as a reader can still see a partially
updated vector.

The staging is only for vectors; cases where table->data points to a
variable should not be staged as they will not be updated on input
error. PROC_VEC_UINT is not included because UINT arrays are not
allowed.

Replace first with nr_conv, incremented where first was cleared. first
is exactly nr_conv == 0, and the counter doubles as the number of
elements to publish.

Example of behavior that is being prevented:

  # echo "4 4 1 7" > /proc/sys/kernel/printk
  # echo "1 x" > /proc/sys/kernel/printk
  -bash: echo: write error: Invalid argument
  # cat /proc/sys/kernel/printk
  1 4 1 7 <- incorrect

It should be unchanged ("4 4 1 7") on error.

CONFIG_SYSCTL used to make sense as a separate hidden bool before commit
61a47c1ad3 ("sysctl: Remove the sysctl system call"); it was selected
by both CONFIG_SYSCTL_SYSCALL and CONFIG_PROC_SYSCTL.

Today CONFIG_PROC_SYSCTL is the only selector, so the two are always
equal. Kill the hidden bool, rename the PROC_SYSCTL prompt to SYSCTL,

Joel Granados b96b5c6708 sysctl: Replace do_proc_do{int,ulong,uint}vec with do_proc_vec
Make do_proc_vec static and parametrize by proc_vec_type enum which
defines the type being processed and selects which converter is "live".
Signed-ness and size are calculated based on proc_vec_type and
table->data is now walked as raw bytes and advanced by the element size;
the converter still performs the actual typed load/store. Pass converter
as a union to avoid a cast from void*. The public
proc_do{int,uint,ulong}vec_conv() prototypes and all converter
signatures in kernel/, fs/ and the header are therefore unchanged.

Remove do_proc_doulongvec_minmax. proc_doulongvec_minmax_conv uses a
converter callback passed by the caller instead of conversions based on
conv{mul,div}. Create uni and bi-direction converters for milliseconds
to jiffies in proc_doulongvec_ms_jiffies_minmax; which is the only user
of proc_doulongvec_minmax_conv.

Replace do_proc_douintvec{,_w,_r} functions with a call to do_proc_vec.
Disallow vectors for uint by returning -EINVAL when more than one

proc_do_large_bitmap() does not initialize variable c, which is expected
to be set to a trailing character by proc_get_long().

However, proc_get_long() only sets c when the input buffer contains a
trailing character after the parsed value.

If c is not initialized it may happen to contain a '-'. If this is the
case proc_do_large_bitmap() expects to be able to parse a second part of
the input buffer. If there is no second part an unjustified -EINVAL will
be returned.

Initialize c to 0 to prevent returning -EINVAL on valid input.

Joel Granados 2dc164a48e sysctl: Create converter functions with two new macros
Eight converter functions are created using two new macros
(SYSCTL_USER_TO_KERN_INT_CONV & SYSCTL_KERN_TO_USER_INT_CONV); they are
called from four pre-existing converter functions: do_proc_dointvec_conv
and do_proc_dointvec{,_userhz,_ms}_jiffies_conv. The function names
generated by the macros are differentiated by a string suffix passed as
the first macro argument.

The SYSCTL_USER_TO_KERN_INT_CONV macro first executes the u_ptr_op
operation, then checks for overflow, assigns sign (-, +) and finally
writes to the kernel var with WRITE_ONCE; it always returns an -EINVAL
when an overflow is detected. The SYSCTL_KERN_TO_USER_INT_CONV uses
READ_ONCE, casts to unsigned long, then executes the k_ptr_op before
assigning the value to the user space buffer.

The overflow check is always done against MAX_INT after applying
{k,u}_ptr_op. This approach avoids rounding or precision errors that
might occur when using the inverse operations.

Replace the "write" integer parameter with SYSCTL_USER_TO_KERN() and
SYSCTL_KERN_TO_USER() that clearly indicate data flow direction in
sysctl operations.

"write" originates in proc_sysctl.c (proc_sys_{read,write}) and can take
one of two values: "0" or "1" when called from proc_sys_read and
proc_sys_write respectively. When write has a value of zero, data is
"written" to a user space buffer from a kernel variable (usually
ctl_table->data). Whereas when write has a value greater than zero, data
is "written" to an internal kernel variable from a user space buffer.
Remove this ambiguity by introducing macros that clearly indicate the
direction of the "write".

The write mode names in sysctl_writes_mode are left unchanged as these
directly relate to the sysctl_write_strict file in /proc/sys where the
word "write" unambiguously refers to writing to a file.

Joel Granados 73184c8e4f sysctl: rename kern_table -> sysctl_subsys_table
Renamed sysctl table from kern_table to sysctl_subsys_table and grouped
the two arch specific ctls to the end of the array.

This is part of a greater effort to move ctl tables into their
respective subsystems which will reduce the merge conflicts in
kernel/sysctl.c.

Joel Granados 25ebbce1f1 kernel/sys.c: Move overflow{uid,gid} sysctl into kernel/sys.c
Moved ctl_tables elements for overflowuid and overflowgid into in
kernel/sys.c. Create a register function that keeps them under "kernel"
and run it after core with postcore_initcall.

This is part of a greater effort to move ctl tables into their
respective subsystems which will reduce the merge conflicts in
kernel/sysctl.c.

Joel Granados ad0800b1d4 sysctl: Remove (very) old file changelog
These comments are older than 2003 and therefore do not bare any
relevance on the current state of the sysctl.c file. Remove them as they
confuse more than clarify.

Joel Granados e054bcbe7e sysctl: move cad_pid into kernel/pid.c
Move cad_pid as well as supporting function proc_do_cad_pid into
kernel/pic.c. Replaced call to __do_proc_dointvec with proc_dointvec
inside proc_do_cad_pid which requires the copy of the ctl_table to
handle the temp value.

Joel Granados 79ac8df974 Input: sysrq: mv sysrq into drivers/tty/sysrq.c
Move both sysrq ctl_table and supported sysrq_sysctl_handler helper
function into drivers/tty/sysrq.c. Replaced the __do_proc_dointvec in
helper function with do_proc_dointvec_minmax as the former is local to
kernel/sysctl.c. Here we use the minmax version of do_proc_dointvec
because do_proc_dointvec is static and calling do_proc_dointvec_minmax
with a NULL min and max is the same as calling do_proc_dointvec.

respective subsystems which will reduce the merge conflicts in
