Pull hardening updates from Kees Cook:
"The bulk of the changes here are related to refactoring and expanding
the KUnit tests for string helper and fortify behavior.
Some trivial strncpy replacements in fs/ were carried in my tree. Also
some fixes to SCSI string handling were carried in my tree since the
helper for those was introduce here. Beyond that, just little fixes
all around: objtool getting confused about LKDTM+KCFI, preparing for
future refactors (constification of sysctl tables, additional
__counted_by annotations), a Clang UBSAN+i386 crash fix, and adding
more options in the hardening.config Kconfig fragment.
Summary:
- selftests: Add str*cmp tests (Ivan Orlov)
- __counted_by: provide UAPI for _le/_be variants (Erick Archer)
- Various strncpy deprecation refactors (Justin Stitt)
- stackleak: Use a copy of soon-to-be-const sysctl table (Thomas
Weißschuh)
- UBSAN: Work around i386 -regparm=3 bug with Clang prior to
version 19
- Provide helper to deal with non-NUL-terminated string copying
- SCSI: Fix older string copying bugs (with new helper)
- selftests: Consolidate string helper behavioral tests
- selftests: add memcpy() fortify tests
- string: Add additional __realloc_size() annotations for "dup"
helpers
- LKDTM: Fix KCFI+rodata+objtool confusion
- hardening.config: Enable KCFI"

Add some stuff that got missed along the way:
- CONFIG_UNWIND_PATCH_PAC_INTO_SCS=y so SCS vs PAC is hardware
selectable.
- CONFIG_X86_KERNEL_IBT=y while a default, just be sure.
- CONFIG_CFI_CLANG=y globally.
- CONFIG_PAGE_TABLE_CHECK=y for userspace mapping sanity.

kernel/configs/hardening.config turns on UBSAN for the bounds sanitizer,
as that in combination with trapping can stop the exploitation of buffer
overflows within the kernel. At the same time, hardening.config turns
off every other UBSAN sanitizer because trapping means all UBSAN reports
will be fatal and the problems brought up by other sanitizers generally
do not have security implications.
The signed integer overflow sanitizer was recently added back to the
kernel and it is default on with just CONFIG_UBSAN=y, meaning that it
gets enabled when merging hardening.config into another configuration.
While this sanitizer does have security implications like the array
bounds sanitizer, work to clean up enough instances to allow this to run
in production environments is still ramping up, which means regular
users and testers may be broken by these instances with
CONFIG_UBSAN_TRAP=y. Disable CONFIG_UBSAN_SIGNED_WRAP in
hardening.config to avoid this situation.

The initial change that added kernel/configs/hardening.config attempted
to disable all UBSAN sanitizers except for the array bounds one while
turning on UBSAN_TRAP. Unfortunately, it only got the syntax for
CONFIG_UBSAN_SHIFT correct, so configurations that are on by default
with CONFIG_UBSAN=y such as CONFIG_UBSAN_{BOOL,ENUM} do not get disabled
properly.
CONFIG_ARCH_HAS_UBSAN=y
CONFIG_UBSAN=y
CONFIG_UBSAN_TRAP=y
CONFIG_CC_HAS_UBSAN_BOUNDS_STRICT=y
CONFIG_UBSAN_BOUNDS=y
CONFIG_UBSAN_BOUNDS_STRICT=y

# CONFIG_UBSAN_UNREACHABLE is not set
CONFIG_UBSAN_SIGNED_WRAP=y
CONFIG_UBSAN_BOOL=y

Add the missing 'is not set' to each configuration that needs it so that
they get disabled as intended.

git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/netdev/net-next
Pull networking updates from Jakub Kicinski:
"Core & protocols:
- Large effort by Eric to lower rtnl_lock pressure and remove locks:
- Make commonly used parts of rtnetlink (address, route dumps
etc) lockless, protected by RCU instead of rtnl_lock.
- Add a netns exit callback which already holds rtnl_lock,
allowing netns exit to take rtnl_lock once in the core instead
of once for each driver / callback.
- Remove locks / serialization in the socket diag interface.
- Remove 6 calls to synchronize_rcu() while holding rtnl_lock.
- Remove the dev_base_lock, depend on RCU where necessary.
- Support busy polling on a per-epoll context basis. Poll length and
budget parameters can be set independently of system defaults.
- Introduce struct net_hotdata, to make sure read-mostly global
config variables fit in as few cache lines as possible.
- Add optional per-nexthop statistics to ease monitoring / debug of
ECMP imbalance problems.
- Support TCP_NOTSENT_LOWAT in MPTCP.
- Ensure that IPv6 temporary addresses' preferred lifetimes are long
enough, compared to other configured lifetimes, and at least 2 sec.
- Support forwarding of ICMP Error messages in IPSec, per RFC 4301.
- Add support for the independent control state machine for bonding
per IEEE 802.1AX-2008 5.4.15 in addition to the existing coupled
control state machine.
- Add "network ID" to MCTP socket APIs to support hosts with multiple
disjoint MCTP networks.
- Re-use the mono_delivery_time skbuff bit for packets which user
space wants to be sent at a specified time. Maintain the timing
information while traversing veth links, bridge etc.
- Take advantage of MSG_SPLICE_PAGES for RxRPC DATA and ACK packets.
- Simplify many places iterating over netdevs by using an xarray
instead of a hash table walk (hash table remains in place, for use
on fastpaths).
- Speed up scanning for expired routes by keeping a dedicated list.
- Speed up "generic" XDP by trying harder to avoid large allocations.
- Support attaching arbitrary metadata to netconsole messages.
Things we sprinkled into general kernel code:
- Enforce VM_IOREMAP flag and range in ioremap_page_range and
introduce VM_SPARSE kind and vm_area_[un]map_pages (used by
bpf_arena).
- Rework selftest harness to enable the use of the full range of ksft
exit code (pass, fail, skip, xfail, xpass).
Netfilter:
- Allow userspace to define a table that is exclusively owned by a
daemon (via netlink socket aliveness) without auto-removing this
table when the userspace program exits. Such table gets marked as
orphaned and a restarting management daemon can re-attach/regain
ownership.
- Speed up element insertions to nftables' concatenated-ranges set
type. Compact a few related data structures.
BPF:
- Add BPF token support for delegating a subset of BPF subsystem
functionality from privileged system-wide daemons such as systemd
through special mount options for userns-bound BPF fs to a trusted
& unprivileged application.
- Introduce bpf_arena which is sparse shared memory region between
BPF program and user space where structures inside the arena can
have pointers to other areas of the arena, and pointers work
seamlessly for both user-space programs and BPF programs.
- Introduce may_goto instruction that is a contract between the
verifier and the program. The verifier allows the program to loop
assuming it's behaving well, but reserves the right to terminate
it.
- Extend the BPF verifier to enable static subprog calls in spin lock
critical sections.
- Support registration of struct_ops types from modules which helps
projects like fuse-bpf that seeks to implement a new struct_ops
type.
- Add support for retrieval of cookies for perf/kprobe multi links.
- Support arbitrary TCP SYN cookie generation / validation in the TC
layer with BPF to allow creating SYN flood handling in BPF
firewalls.
- Add code generation to inline the bpf_kptr_xchg() helper which
improves performance when stashing/popping the allocated BPF
objects.
Wireless:
- Add SPP (signaling and payload protected) AMSDU support.
- Support wider bandwidth OFDMA, as required for EHT operation.
Driver API:
- Major overhaul of the Energy Efficient Ethernet internals to
support new link modes (2.5GE, 5GE), share more code between
drivers (especially those using phylib), and encourage more
uniform behavior. Convert and clean up drivers.
- Define an API for querying per netdev queue statistics from
drivers.
- IPSec: account in global stats for fully offloaded sessions.
- Create a concept of Ethernet PHY Packages at the Device Tree level,
to allow parameterizing the existing PHY package code.
- Enable Rx hashing (RSS) on GTP protocol fields.
Misc:
- Improvements and refactoring all over networking selftests.
- Create uniform module aliases for TC classifiers, actions, and
packet schedulers to simplify creating modprobe policies.
- Address all missing MODULE_DESCRIPTION() warnings in networking.
- Extend the Netlink descriptions in YAML to cover message
encapsulation or "Netlink polymorphism", where interpretation of
nested attributes depends on link type, classifier type or some
other "class type".

KFENCE is not a security mitigation mechanism (due to sampling), but has
the performance characteristics of unintrusive hardening techniques.
When used at scale, however, it improves overall security by allowing
kernel developers to detect heap memory-safety bugs cheaply.

The debug.config file is really great to easily enable a bunch of
general debugging features on a CI-like setup. But it would be great to
also include core networking debugging config.
A few CI's validating features from the Net tree also enable a few other
debugging options on top of debug.config. A small selection is quite
generic for the whole net tree. They validate some assumptions in
different parts of the core net tree. As suggested by Jakub Kicinski in
[1], having them added to this debug.config file would help other CIs
using network features to find bugs in this area.
Note that the two REFCNT configs also select REF_TRACKER, which doesn't
seem to be an issue.

Inspired by Salvatore Mesoraca's earlier[1] efforts to provide some
in-tree guidance for kernel hardening Kconfig options, add a new fragment
named "hardening-basic.config" (along with some arch-specific fragments)
that enable a basic set of kernel hardening options that have the least
(or no) performance impact and remove a reasonable set of legacy APIs.
Using this fragment is as simple as running "make hardening.config".
More extreme fragments can be added[2] in the future to cover all the
recognized hardening options, and more per-architecture files can be
added too.
For now, document the fragments directly via comments. Perhaps .rst
documentation can be generated from them in the future (rather than the
other way around).

Currently the Kconfig fragments in kernel/configs and arch/*/configs
that aren't used internally aren't discoverable through "make help",
which consists of hard-coded lists of config fragments. Instead, list
all the fragment targets that have a "# Help: " comment prefix so the
targets can be generated dynamically.
Add logic to the Makefile to search for and display the fragment and
comment. Add comments to fragments that are intended to be direct targets.

As discussed at LSF/MM [1] [2] and with no objections raised there,
deprecate the SLAB allocator. Rename the user-visible option so that
users with CONFIG_SLAB=y get a new prompt with explanation during make
oldconfig, while make olddefconfig will just switch to SLUB.
In all defconfigs with CONFIG_SLAB=y remove the line so those also
switch to SLUB. Regressions due to the switch should be reported to
linux-mm and slab maintainers.

In the old days where each device had a custom kernel, the
android config fragments were useful to provide the required
and reccomended options expected by userland.
However, these days devices are expected to use the GKI kernel,
so these config fragments no longer needed, and out of date, so
they seem to only cause confusion.
So lets drop them. If folks are curious what configs are
expected by the Android environment, check out the gki_defconfig
file in the latest android common kernel tree.

Remove SLOB from Kconfig and Makefile. Everything under #ifdef
CONFIG_SLOB, and mm/slob.c is now dead code.

As explained in [1], we would like to remove SLOB if possible.
- There are no known users that need its somewhat lower memory footprint
so much that they cannot handle SLUB (after some modifications by the
previous patches) instead.
- It is an extra maintenance burden, and a number of features are
incompatible with it.
- It blocks the API improvement of allowing kfree() on objects allocated
via kmem_cache_alloc().
As the first step, rename the CONFIG_SLOB option in the slab allocator
configuration choice to CONFIG_SLOB_DEPRECATED. Add CONFIG_SLOB
depending on CONFIG_SLOB_DEPRECATED as an internal option to avoid code
churn. This will cause existing .config files and defconfigs with
CONFIG_SLOB=y to silently switch to the default (and recommended
replacement) SLUB, while still allowing SLOB to be configured by anyone
that notices and needs it. But those should contact the slab maintainers
and linux-mm@kvack.org as explained in the updated help. With no valid
objections, the plan is to update the existing defconfigs to SLUB and
remove SLOB in a few cycles.
To make SLUB more suitable replacement for SLOB, a CONFIG_SLUB_TINY
option was introduced to limit SLUB's memory overhead.
There is a number of defconfigs specifying CONFIG_SLOB=y. As part of
this patch, update them to select CONFIG_SLUB and CONFIG_SLUB_TINY.

Commit 197ecb3802c0 ("xen/balloon: add runtime control for scrubbing

XEN_SCRUB_PAGES_DEFAULT. As xen.config sets 'XEN_BALLOON=y' and
XEN_SCRUB_PAGES_DEFAULT defaults to yes, there is no further need to set
this config in the xen.config file.
Remove setting XEN_SCRUB_PAGES in xen.config, which is without

The kernel has a wide variety of debugging options to help catch
and squash bugs. However, new debugging is added all the time and
the existing options can be hard to find.
Add a Kconfig fragment with the debugging options which tip
maintainers expect to be used to test contributions.
This should make it easier for contributors to test their code and

Previously, I failed to realize that Kees' patch [1] has not been merged
into the mainline yet, and dropped DEBUG_INFO=y too eagerly from the
mainline. As the results, "make debug.config" won't be able to flip
DEBUG_INFO=n from the existing .config. This should close the gaps of a
few weeks before Kees' patch is there, and work regardless of their
merging status anyway.

Some general debugging features like kmemleak, KASAN, lockdep, UBSAN etc
help fix many viruses like a microscope. On the other hand, those
features are scatter around and mixed up with more situational debugging
options making them difficult to consume properly. This cold help
amplify the general debugging/testing efforts and help establish
sensitive default values for those options across the broad. This could
also help different distros to collaborate on maintaining debug-flavored
kernels.
The config is based on years' experiences running daily CI inside the
largest enterprise Linux distro company to seek regressions on
linux-next builds on different bare-metal and virtual platforms. It can
be used for example,
$ make ARCH=arm64 defconfig debug.config
Since KASAN and KCSAN can't be enabled together, we will need to create
a separate one for KCSAN later as well.

Patch series "drivers/char: remove /dev/kmem for good".
Exploring /dev/kmem and /dev/mem in the context of memory hot(un)plug and
memory ballooning, I started questioning the existence of /dev/kmem.
Comparing it with the /proc/kcore implementation, it does not seem to be
able to deal with things like
a) Pages unmapped from the direct mapping (e.g., to be used by secretmem)
-> kern_addr_valid(). virt_addr_valid() is not sufficient.
b) Special cases like gart aperture memory that is not to be touched
-> mem_pfn_is_ram()
Unless I am missing something, it's at least broken in some cases and might
fault/crash the machine.
Looks like its existence has been questioned before in 2005 and 2010 [1],
after ~11 additional years, it might make sense to revive the discussion.
CONFIG_DEVKMEM is only enabled in a single defconfig (on purpose or by
mistake?). All distributions disable it: in Ubuntu it has been disabled
for more than 10 years, in Debian since 2.6.31, in Fedora at least
starting with FC3, in RHEL starting with RHEL4, in SUSE starting from
15sp2, and OpenSUSE has it disabled as well.
1) /dev/kmem was popular for rootkits [2] before it got disabled
basically everywhere. Ubuntu documents [3] "There is no modern user of
/dev/kmem any more beyond attackers using it to load kernel rootkits.".
RHEL documents in a BZ [5] "it served no practical purpose other than to
serve as a potential security problem or to enable binary module drivers
to access structures/functions they shouldn't be touching"
2) /proc/kcore is a decent interface to have a controlled way to read
kernel memory for debugging puposes. (will need some extensions to
deal with memory offlining/unplug, memory ballooning, and poisoned
pages, though)
3) It might be useful for corner case debugging [1]. KDB/KGDB might be a
better fit, especially, to write random memory; harder to shoot
yourself into the foot.
4) "Kernel Memory Editor" [4] hasn't seen any updates since 2000 and seems
to be incompatible with 64bit [1]. For educational purposes,
/proc/kcore might be used to monitor value updates -- or older
kernels can be used.
5) It's broken on arm64, and therefore, completely disabled there.
Looks like it's essentially unused and has been replaced by better
suited interfaces for individual tasks (/proc/kcore, KDB/KGDB). Let's
just remove it.

allnoconfig_y is an ugly hack that sets a symbol to 'y' by allnoconfig.
allnoconfig does not mean a minimal set of CONFIG options because a
bunch of prompts are hidden by 'if EMBEDDED' or 'if EXPERT', but I do
not like to hack Kconfig this way.
Use the pre-existing feature, KCONFIG_ALLCONFIG, to provide a one
liner config fragment. CONFIG_EMBEDDED=y is still forced when
allnoconfig is invoked as a part of tinyconfig.
No change in the .config file produced by 'make tinyconfig'.
The output of 'make allnoconfig' will be changed; we will get
CONFIG_EMBEDDED=n because allnoconfig literally sets all symbols to n.

The driver has its own HID descriptor parsing code, that had and still
has several issues discovered by syzbot and other tools. Ideally we
should move the driver over to the HID subsystem, so that it uses proven
parsing code. However the devices in question are EOL, and GTCO is not
willing to extend resources for that, so let's simply remove the driver.
Note that our HID support has greatly improved over the last 10 years,
we may also consider reverting 6f8d9e26e7de ("hid-core.c: Adds all GTCO
CalComp Digitizers and InterWrite School Products to blacklist") and see
if GTCO devices actually work with normal HID drivers.

Prior to commit 2a61f4747eea ("stack-protector: test compiler capability
in Kconfig and drop AUTO mode"), the stack protector was configured by
the choice of NONE, REGULAR, STRONG, AUTO.
tiny.config needed to explicitly set NONE because the default value of
choice, AUTO, did not produce the tiniest kernel.
Now that there are only two boolean symbols, STACKPROTECTOR and
STACKPROTECTOR_STRONG, they are naturally disabled by "make
allnoconfig", which "make tinyconfig" is based on. Remove unnecessary
lines from the tiny.config fragment file.

The changes to automatically test for working stack protector compiler
support in the Kconfig files removed the special STACKPROTECTOR_AUTO
option that picked the strongest stack protector that the compiler
supported.
That was all a nice cleanup - it makes no sense to have the AUTO case
now that the Kconfig phase can just determine the compiler support
directly.
HOWEVER.
It also meant that doing "make oldconfig" would now _disable_ the strong
stackprotector if you had AUTO enabled, because in a legacy config file,
the sane stack protector configuration would look like
CONFIG_HAVE_CC_STACKPROTECTOR=y
# CONFIG_CC_STACKPROTECTOR_NONE is not set
# CONFIG_CC_STACKPROTECTOR_REGULAR is not set
# CONFIG_CC_STACKPROTECTOR_STRONG is not set
CONFIG_CC_STACKPROTECTOR_AUTO=y
and when you ran this through "make oldconfig" with the Kbuild changes,
it would ask you about the regular CONFIG_CC_STACKPROTECTOR (that had
been renamed from CONFIG_CC_STACKPROTECTOR_REGULAR to just
CONFIG_CC_STACKPROTECTOR), but it would think that the STRONG version
used to be disabled (because it was really enabled by AUTO), and would
disable it in the new config, resulting in:
CONFIG_HAVE_CC_STACKPROTECTOR=y
CONFIG_CC_HAS_STACKPROTECTOR_NONE=y
CONFIG_CC_STACKPROTECTOR=y
# CONFIG_CC_STACKPROTECTOR_STRONG is not set
CONFIG_CC_HAS_SANE_STACKPROTECTOR=y
That's dangerously subtle - people could suddenly find themselves with
the weaker stack protector setup without even realizing.
The solution here is to just rename not just the old RECULAR stack
protector option, but also the strong one. This does that by just
removing the CC_ prefix entirely for the user choices, because it really
is not about the compiler support (the compiler support now instead
automatially impacts _visibility_ of the options to users).
This results in "make oldconfig" actually asking the user for their
choice, so that we don't have any silent subtle security model changes.
The end result would generally look like this:
CONFIG_HAVE_CC_STACKPROTECTOR=y
CONFIG_CC_HAS_STACKPROTECTOR_NONE=y
CONFIG_STACKPROTECTOR=y
CONFIG_STACKPROTECTOR_STRONG=y
CONFIG_CC_HAS_SANE_STACKPROTECTOR=y
where the "CC_" versions really are about internal compiler
infrastructure, not the user selections.

Nearly all modern compilers support a stack-protector option, and nearly
all modern distributions enable the kernel stack-protector, so enabling
this by default in kernel builds would make sense. However, Kconfig does
not have knowledge of available compiler features, so it isn't safe to
force on, as this would unconditionally break builds for the compilers or
architectures that don't have support. Instead, this introduces a new
option, CONFIG_CC_STACKPROTECTOR_AUTO, which attempts to discover the best
possible stack-protector available, and will allow builds to proceed even
if the compiler doesn't support any stack-protector.
This option is made the default so that kernels built with modern
compilers will be protected-by-default against stack buffer overflows,
avoiding things like the recent BlueBorne attack. Selection of a specific
stack-protector option remains available, including disabling it.
Additionally, tiny.config is adjusted to use CC_STACKPROTECTOR_NONE, since
that's the option with the least code size (and it used to be the default,
so we have to explicitly choose it there now).

A frequent source of build problems is poor handling of optional PM
support, almost all development is done with the PM options enabled
but they can be turned off. Currently few if any of the build test
services do this as standard as there is no standard config for it and
the use of selects and def_bool means that simply setting CONFIG_PM=n
doesn't do what is expected. To make this easier provide a fragement
that can be used with KCONFIG_ALLCONFIG to force PM off.
CONFIG_XEN is disabled as Xen uses hibernation callbacks which end up
turning on power management on architectures with Xen. Some cpuidle
implementations on ARM select PM so CONFIG_CPU_IDLE is disabled, and
some ARM architectures unconditionally enable PM so they are also
disabled.
