  1. btrfs: Make btrfs_read_disk_super return struct btrfs_disk_super

    Instead of returning both the page and the super block structure, make
    btrfs_read_disk_super just return a pointer to struct btrfs_disk_super.
    As a result the function signature is simplified.

  1. Linux 5.7-rc1

  2. MAINTAINERS: sort field names for all entries

    This sorts the actual field names too, potentially causing even more
    chaos and confusion at merge time if you have edited the MAINTAINERS
    file.  But the end result is a more consistent layout, and hopefully
    it's a one-time pain minimized by doing this just before the -rc1
    release.
    
    This was entirely scripted:
    
      ./scripts/parse-maintainers.pl --input=MAINTAINERS --output=MAINTAINERS --order

  3. MAINTAINERS: sort entries by entry name

    They are all supposed to be sorted, but people who add new entries don't
    always know the alphabet.  Plus sometimes the entry names get edited,
    and people don't then re-order the entry.
    
    Let's see how painful this will be for merging purposes (the MAINTAINERS
    file is often edited in various different trees), but Joe claims there's
    relatively few patches in -next that touch this, and doing it just
    before -rc1 is likely the best time.  Fingers crossed.
    
    This was scripted with
    
      /scripts/parse-maintainers.pl --input=MAINTAINERS --output=MAINTAINERS
    
    but then I also ended up manually upper-casing a few entry names that
    stood out when looking at the end result.

    Pull x86 fixes from Thomas Gleixner:
     "A set of three patches to fix the fallout of the newly added split
      lock detection feature.
    
      It addressed the case where a KVM guest triggers a split lock #AC and
      KVM reinjects it into the guest which is not prepared to handle it.
    
      Add proper sanity checks which prevent the unconditional injection
      into the guest and handles the #AC on the host side in the same way as
      user space detections are handled. Depending on the detection mode it
      either warns and disables detection for the task or kills the task if
      the mode is set to fatal"

     - Add the missing userns limit for the allowed number of time
       namespaces, which was half defined but the actual array member was
       not added. This went unnoticed as the array has an exessive empty
       member at the end but introduced a user visible regression as the
       output was corrupted.

  6. KVM: VMX: Extend VMXs #AC interceptor to handle split lock #AC in guest

    Two types of #AC can be generated in Intel CPUs:
     1. legacy alignment check #AC
     2. split lock #AC
    
    Reflect #AC back into the guest if the guest has legacy alignment checks
    enabled or if split lock detection is disabled.
    
    If the #AC is not a legacy one and split lock detection is enabled, then
    invoke handle_guest_split_lock() which will either warn and disable split
    lock detection for this task or force SIGBUS on it.
    
    [ tglx: Switch it to handle_guest_split_lock() and rename the misnamed
      helper function. ]

  7. KVM: x86: Emulate split-lock access as a write in emulator

    Emulate split-lock accesses as writes if split lock detection is on
    to avoid #AC during emulation, which will result in a panic(). This
    should never occur for a well-behaved guest, but a malicious guest can
    manipulate the TLB to trigger emulation of a locked instruction[1].
    
    More discussion can be found at [2][3].

  8. x86/split_lock: Provide handle_guest_split_lock()

    Without at least minimal handling for split lock detection induced #AC,
    VMX will just run into the same problem as the VMWare hypervisor, which
    was reported by Kenneth.
    
    It will inject the #AC blindly into the guest whether the guest is
    prepared or not.
    
    Provide a function for guest mode which acts depending on the host
    SLD mode. If mode == sld_warn, treat it like user space, i.e. emit a
    warning, disable SLD and mark the task accordingly. Otherwise force
    SIGBUS.

  3. fs/seq_file.c: seq_read(): add info message about buggy .next functions

    Patch series "seq_file .next functions should increase position index".
    
    In Aug 2018 NeilBrown noticed commit 1f4aace ("fs/seq_file.c:
    simplify seq_file iteration code and interface")
    
    "Some ->next functions do not increment *pos when they return NULL...
    Note that such ->next functions are buggy and should be fixed.  A simple
    demonstration is dd if=/proc/swaps bs=1000 skip=1 Choose any block size
    larger than the size of /proc/swaps.  This will always show the whole
    last line of /proc/swaps"
    
    Described problem is still actual.  If you make lseek into middle of
    last output line following read will output end of last line and whole
    last line once again.
    
      $ dd if=/proc/swaps bs=1  # usual output
      Filename				Type		Size	Used	Priority
      /dev/dm-0                             partition	4194812	97536	-2

    There are lot of other affected files, I've found 30+ including
    /proc/net/ip_tables_matches and /proc/sysvipc/*
    
    I've sent patches into maillists of affected subsystems already, this
    patch-set fixes the problem in files related to pstore, tracing, gcov,

  9. fs/filesystems.c: downgrade user-reachable WARN_ONCE() to pr_warn_once()

    After request_module(), nothing is stopping the module from being
    unloaded until someone takes a reference to it via try_get_module().
    
    The WARN_ONCE() in get_fs_type() is thus user-reachable, via userspace
    running 'rmmod' concurrently.
    
    Since WARN_ONCE() is for kernel bugs only, not for user-reachable
    situations, downgrade this warning to pr_warn_once().
    
    Keep it printed once only, since the intent of this warning is to detect
    a bug in modprobe at boot time.  Printing the warning more than once
    wouldn't really provide any useful extra information.

  10. kmod: make request_module() return an error when autoloading is disabled

    Patch series "module autoloading fixes and cleanups", v5.
    
    This series fixes a bug where request_module() was reporting success to
    kernel code when module autoloading had been completely disabled via
    'echo > /proc/sys/kernel/modprobe'.
    
    It also addresses the issues raised on the original thread
    (https://lkml.kernel.org/lkml/20200310223731.126894-1-ebiggers@kernel.org/T/#u)
    bydocumenting the modprobe sysctl, adding a self-test for the empty path
    case, and downgrading a user-reachable WARN_ONCE().
    
    This patch (of 4):
    
    It's long been possible to disable kernel module autoloading completely
    (while still allowing manual module insertion) by setting
    /proc/sys/kernel/modprobe to the empty string.
    
    This can be preferable to setting it to a nonexistent file since it
    avoids the overhead of an attempted execve(), avoids potential
    deadlocks, and avoids the call to security_kernel_module_request() and
    thus on SELinux-based systems eliminates the need to write SELinux rules
    to dontaudit module_request.
    
    However, when module autoloading is disabled in this way,
    request_module() returns 0.  This is broken because callers expect 0 to
    mean that the module was successfully loaded.
    
    Apparently this was never noticed because this method of disabling
    module autoloading isn't used much, and also most callers don't use the
    return value of request_module() since it's always necessary to check
    whether the module registered its functionality or not anyway.
    
    But improperly returning 0 can indeed confuse a few callers, for example
    get_fs_type() in fs/filesystems.c where it causes a WARNING to be hit:
    
    	if (!fs && (request_module("fs-%.*s", len, name) == 0)) {
    		fs = __get_fs_type(name, len);
    		WARN_ONCE(!fs, "request_module fs-%.*s succeeded, but still no fs?\n", len, name);
    	}
    
    This is easily reproduced with:
    
    	echo > /proc/sys/kernel/modprobe
    	mount -t NONEXISTENT none /
    
    It causes:
    
    	request_module fs-NONEXISTENT succeeded, but still no fs?
    	WARNING: CPU: 1 PID: 1106 at fs/filesystems.c:275 get_fs_type+0xd6/0xf0
    	[...]
    
    This should actually use pr_warn_once() rather than WARN_ONCE(), since
    it's also user-reachable if userspace immediately unloads the module.
    Regardless, request_module() should correctly return an error when it
    fails.  So let's make it return -ENOENT, which matches the error when
    the modprobe binary doesn't exist.
    
    I've also sent patches to document and test this case.
