Pull kernel hardening updates from Kees Cook:
"Most of the collected changes here are fixes across the tree for
various hardening features (details noted below).
The most notable new feature here is the addition of the memcpy()
overflow warning (under CONFIG_FORTIFY_SOURCE), which is the next step
on the path to killing the common class of "trivially detectable"
buffer overflow conditions (i.e. on arrays with sizes known at compile
time) that have resulted in many exploitable vulnerabilities over the
years (e.g. BleedingTooth).
This feature is expected to still have some undiscovered false
positives. It's been in -next for a full development cycle and all the
reported false positives have been fixed in their respective trees.
All the known-bad code patterns we could find with Coccinelle are also
either fixed in their respective trees or in flight.
The commit message in commit 54d9469bc515 ("fortify: Add run-time WARN
for cross-field memcpy()") for the feature has extensive details, but
I'll repeat here that this is a warning _only_, and is not intended to
actually block overflows (yet). The many patches fixing array sizes
and struct members have been landing for several years now, and we're
finally able to turn this on to find any remaining stragglers.
Summary:
Various fixes across several hardening areas:
- loadpin: Fix verity target enforcement (Matthias Kaehlcke).
- zero-call-used-regs: Add missing clobbers in paravirt (Bill
Wendling).
- CFI: clean up sparc function pointer type mismatches (Bart Van
Assche).
- Clang: Adjust compiler flag detection for various Clang changes
(Sami Tolvanen, Kees Cook).
- fortify: Fix warnings in arch-specific code in sh, ARM, and xen.
Improvements to existing features:
- testing: improve overflow KUnit test, introduce fortify KUnit test,
add more coverage to LKDTM tests (Bart Van Assche, Kees Cook).
- overflow: Relax overflow type checking for wider utility.
New features:
- string: Introduce strtomem() and strtomem_pad() to fill a gap in
strncpy() replacement needs.
- um: Enable FORTIFY_SOURCE support.
- fortify: Enable run-time struct member memcpy() overflow warning"

Pull Rust introductory support from Kees Cook:
"The tree has a recent base, but has fundamentally been in linux-next
for a year and a half[1]. It's been updated based on feedback from the
Kernel Maintainer's Summit, and to gain recent Reviewed-by: tags.
Miguel is the primary maintainer, with me helping where needed/wanted.
Our plan is for the tree to switch to the standard non-rebasing
practice once this initial infrastructure series lands.
The contents are the absolute minimum to get Rust code building in the
kernel, with many more interfaces[2] (and drivers - NVMe[3], 9p[4], M1
GPU[5]) on the way.
The initial support of Rust-for-Linux comes in roughly 4 areas:
- Kernel internals (kallsyms expansion for Rust symbols, %pA format)
- Kbuild infrastructure (Rust build rules and support scripts)
- Rust crates and bindings for initial minimum viable build
- Rust kernel documentation and samples
Rust support has been in linux-next for a year and a half now, and the
short log doesn't do justice to the number of people who have
contributed both to the Linux kernel side but also to the upstream
Rust side to support the kernel's needs. Thanks to these 173 people,

Pull RCU updates from Paul McKenney:
- Documentation updates.
This is the first in a series from an ongoing review of the RCU
documentation. "Why are people thinking -that- about RCU? Oh. Because
that is an entirely reasonable interpretation of its documentation."
- Miscellaneous fixes.
- Improved memory allocation and heuristics.
- Improve rcu_nocbs diagnostic output.
- Add full-sized polled RCU grace period state values.
These are the same size as an rcu_head structure, which is double
that of the traditional unsigned long state values that may still be
obtained from et_state_synchronize_rcu(). The added size avoids
missing overlapping grace periods. This benefit is that call_rcu()
can be replaced by polling, which can be attractive in situations
where RCU-protected data is aged out of memory.
Early in the series, the size of this state value is three unsigned
longs. Later in the series, the fastpaths in synchronize_rcu() and
synchronize_rcu_expedited() are reworked to permit the full state to
be represented by only two unsigned longs. This reworking slows these
two functions down in SMP kernels running either on single-CPU
systems or on systems with all but one CPU offlined, but this should
not be a significant problem. And if it somehow becomes a problem in
some yet-as-unforeseen situations, three-value state values can be
provided for only those situations.
Finally, a pair of functions named same_state_synchronize_rcu() and
same_state_synchronize_rcu_full() allow grace-period state values to
be compared for equality. This permits users to maintain lists of
data structures having the same state value, removing the need for
per-data-structure grace-period state values, thus decreasing memory
footprint.
- Polled SRCU grace-period updates, including adding tests to
rcutorture and reducing the incidence of Tiny SRCU grace-period-state
counter wrap.
- Improve Tasks RCU diagnostics and quiescent-state detection.

Linus notes [1] that the introduction of new code that uses VM_BUG_ON()
is just as bad as BUG_ON(), because it will crash the kernel on
distributions that enable CONFIG_DEBUG_VM (like Fedora):
VM_BUG_ON() has the exact same semantics as BUG_ON. It is literally
no different, the only difference is "we can make the code smaller
because these are less important". [2]
This resulted in a more generic discussion about usage of BUG() and
friends. While there might be corner cases that still deserve a BUG_ON(),
most BUG_ON() cases should simply use WARN_ON_ONCE() and implement a
recovery path if reasonable:
The only possible case where BUG_ON can validly be used is "I have
some fundamental data corruption and cannot possibly return an
error". [2]
As a very good approximation is the general rule:
"absolutely no new BUG_ON() calls _ever_" [2]
... not even if something really shouldn't ever happen and is merely for
documenting that an invariant always has to hold. However, there are sill
exceptions where BUG_ON() may be used:
If you have a "this is major internal corruption, there's no way we can
continue", then BUG_ON() is appropriate. [3]
There is only one good BUG_ON():
Now, that said, there is one very valid sub-form of BUG_ON():
BUILD_BUG_ON() is absolutely 100% fine. [2]
While WARN will also crash the machine with panic_on_warn set, that's
exactly to be expected:
So we have two very different cases: the "virtual machine with good
logging where a dead machine is fine" - use 'panic_on_warn'. And
the actual real hardware with real drivers, running real loads by
users. [4]
The basic idea is that warnings will similarly get reported by users
and be found during testing. However, in contrast to a BUG(), there is a
way to actually influence the expected behavior (e.g., panic_on_warn)
and to eventually keep the machine alive to extract some debug info.
Ingo notes that not all WARN_ON_ONCE cases need recovery. If we don't ever
expect this code to trigger in any case, recovery code is not really
helpful.
I'd prefer to keep all these warnings 'simple' - i.e. no attempted
recovery & control flow, unless we ever expect these to trigger.
[5]
There have been different rules floating around that were never properly
documented. Let's try to clarify.

These files describe part of the core API, but have never been converted to
RST due to ... let's say local oppposition. So, create a set of
special-purpose wrappers to ..include these files into a separate page so
that they can be a part of the htmldocs build. Then link them into the

move it there. Adjust a couple of internal document references to make

The front page is the entry point to the documentation, especially for
people who read it online. It's a big mess of everything we could think to
toss into it. Rewrite the page with an eye toward simplicity and making it
easy for readers to get going toward what they really want to find.
This is only a beginning, but it makes our docs more approachable than
before.

Most of the documentation for Rust is written within the source code
itself, as it is idiomatic for Rust projects. This applies to both
the shared infrastructure at `rust/` as well as any other Rust module
(e.g. drivers) written across the kernel.
However, these documents contain general information that does not
fit particularly well in the source code, like the Quick Start guide.
It also contains a few other small changes elsewhere in the
documentation folder.

This patch adds a format specifier `%pA` to `vsprintf` which formats
a pointer as `core::fmt::Arguments`. Doing so allows us to directly
format to the internal buffer of `printf`, so we do not have to use
a temporary buffer on the stack to pre-assemble the message on
the Rust side.
This specifier is intended only to be used from Rust and not for C, so
`checkpatch.pl` is intentionally unchanged to catch any misuse.
