md: reintroduce md-linear

THe md-linear is removed by commit 849d18e27be9 ("md: Remove deprecated
CONFIG_MD_LINEAR") because it has been marked as deprecated for a long
time.

However, md-linear is used widely for underlying disks with different size,
sadly we didn't know this until now, and it's true useful to create
partitions and assemble multiple raid and then append one to the other.

People have to use dm-linear in this case now, however, they will prefer
to minimize the number of involved modules.

dm vdo: enable configuration and building of dm-vdo

dm-vdo targets are not supported for 32-bit configurations. A vdo target
typically requires 1 to 1.5 GB of memory at any given time, which is likely
a large fraction of the addressable memory of a 32-bit system. At the same
time, the amount of addressable storage attached to a 32-bit system may not
be large enough for deduplication to provide much benefit. Because of these
concerns, 32-bit platforms are deemed unlikely to benefit from using a vdo
target, so dm-vdo is targeted only at 64-bit platforms.

dm: Add verity helpers for LoadPin

LoadPin limits loading of kernel modules, firmware and certain
other files to a 'pinned' file system (typically a read-only
rootfs). To provide more flexibility LoadPin is being extended
to also allow loading these files from trusted dm-verity
devices. For that purpose LoadPin can be provided with a list
of verity root digests that it should consider as trusted.

Add a bunch of helpers to allow LoadPin to check whether a DM
device is a trusted verity device. The new functions broadly
fall in two categories: those that need access to verity
internals (like the root digest), and the 'glue' between
LoadPin and verity. The new file dm-verity-loadpin.c contains
the glue functions.

dm: add dm_bio_rewind() API to DM core

Commit 7759eb23fd98 ("block: remove bio_rewind_iter()") removed
a similar API for the following reasons:
```
It is pointed that bio_rewind_iter() is one very bad API[1]:

1) bio size may not be restored after rewinding

2) it causes some bogus change, such as 5151842b9d8732 (block: reset
bi_iter.bi_done after splitting bio)

3) rewinding really makes things complicated wrt. bio splitting

4) unnecessary updating of .bi_done in fast path

[1] https://marc.info/?t=153549924200005&r=1&w=2

So this patch takes Kent's suggestion to restore one bio into its original
state via saving bio iterator(struct bvec_iter) in bio_integrity_prep(),
given now bio_rewind_iter() is only used by bio integrity code.
```
However, saving off a copy of the 32 bytes bio->bi_iter in case rewind
needed isn't efficient because it bloats per-bio-data for what is an
unlikely case. That suggestion also ignores the need to restore
crypto and integrity info.

Add dm_bio_rewind() API for a specific use-case that is much more narrow
than the previous more generic rewind code that was reverted:

1) most bios have a fixed end sector since bio split is done from front
of the bio, if driver just records how many sectors between current
bio's start sector and the original bio's end sector, the original
position can be restored. Keeping the original bio's end sector
fixed is a _hard_ requirement for this interface!

2) if a bio's end sector won't change (usually bio_trim() isn't
called, or in the case of DM it preserves original bio), user can
restore the original position by storing sector offset from the
current ->bi_iter.bi_sector to bio's end sector; together with
saving bio size, only 8 bytes is needed to restore to original
bio.

3) DM's requeue use case: when BLK_STS_DM_REQUEUE happens, DM core
needs to restore to an "original bio" which represents the current
dm_io to be requeued (which may be a subset of the original bio).
By storing the sector offset from the original bio's end sector and
dm_io's size, dm_bio_rewind() can restore such original bio. See
commit 7dd76d1feec7 ("dm: improve bio splitting and associated IO
accounting") for more details on how DM does this. Leveraging this,
allows DM core to shift the need for bio cloning from bio-split
time (during IO submission) to the less likely BLK_STS_DM_REQUEUE
handling (after IO completes with that error).

4) Unlike the original rewind API, dm_bio_rewind() doesn't add .bi_done
to bvec_iter and there is no effect on the fast path.

Implement dm_bio_rewind() by factoring out clear helpers that it calls:
dm_bio_integrity_rewind, dm_bio_crypt_rewind and dm_bio_rewind_iter.

DM is able to ensure that dm_bio_rewind() is used safely but, given
the constraint that the bio's end must never change, other
hypothetical future callers may not take the same care. So make
dm_bio_rewind() and all supporting code local to DM to avoid risk of
hypothetical abuse. A "dm_" prefix was added to all functions to avoid
any namespace collisions.

dm: introduce audit event module for device mapper

To be able to send auditing events to user space, we introduce a
generic dm-audit module. It provides helper functions to emit audit
events through the kernel audit subsystem. We claim the
AUDIT_DM_CTRL type=1336 and AUDIT_DM_EVENT type=1337 out of the
audit event messages range in the corresponding userspace api in
'include/uapi/linux/audit.h' for those events.

AUDIT_DM_CTRL is used to provide information about creation and
destruction of device mapper targets which are triggered by user space
admin control actions.
AUDIT_DM_EVENT is used to provide information about actual errors
during operation of the mapped device, showing e.g. integrity
violations in audit log.

Following commits to device mapper targets actually will make use of
this to emit those events in relevant cases.

The audit logs look like this if executing the following simple test:

# dd if=/dev/zero of=test.img bs=1M count=1024
# losetup -f test.img
# integritysetup -vD format --integrity sha256 -t 32 /dev/loop0
# integritysetup open -D /dev/loop0 --integrity sha256 integritytest
# integritysetup status integritytest
# integritysetup close integritytest
# integritysetup open -D /dev/loop0 --integrity sha256 integritytest
# integritysetup status integritytest
# dd if=/dev/urandom of=/dev/loop0 bs=512 count=1 seek=100000
# dd if=/dev/mapper/integritytest of=/dev/null

dm ima: measure data on table load

DM configures a block device with various target specific attributes
passed to it as a table. DM loads the table, and calls each target’s
respective constructors with the attributes as input parameters.
Some of these attributes are critical to ensure the device meets
certain security bar. Thus, IMA should measure these attributes, to
ensure they are not tampered with, during the lifetime of the device.
So that the external services can have high confidence in the
configuration of the block-devices on a given system.

Some devices may have large tables. And a given device may change its
state (table-load, suspend, resume, rename, remove, table-clear etc.)
many times. Measuring these attributes each time when the device
changes its state will significantly increase the size of the IMA logs.
Further, once configured, these attributes are not expected to change
unless a new table is loaded, or a device is removed and recreated.
Therefore the clear-text of the attributes should only be measured
during table load, and the hash of the active/inactive table should be
measured for the remaining device state changes.

Export IMA function ima_measure_critical_data() to allow measurement
of DM device parameters, as well as target specific attributes, during
table load. Compute the hash of the inactive table and store it for
measurements during future state change. If a load is called multiple
times, update the inactive table hash with the hash of the latest
populated table. So that the correct inactive table hash is measured
when the device transitions to different states like resume, remove,
rename, etc.

Required updating Makefile to still build modules _without_ the

dm mpath: add IO affinity path selector

This patch adds a path selector that selects paths based on a CPU to
path mapping the user passes in and what CPU we are executing on. The
primary user for this PS is where the app is optimized to use specific
CPUs so other PSs undo the apps handy work, and the storage and it's
transport are not a bottlneck.

For these io-affinity PS setups a path's transport/interconnect
perf is not going to flucuate a lot and there is no major differences
between paths, so QL/HST smarts do not help and RR always messes up
what the app is trying to do.

On a system with 16 cores, where you have a job per CPU:

fio --filename=/dev/dm-0 --direct=1 --rw=randrw --bs=4k \
--ioengine=libaio --iodepth=128 --numjobs=16

and a dm-multipath device setup where each CPU is mapped to one path:

// When in mq mode I had to set dm_mq_nr_hw_queues=$NUM_PATHS.
// Bio mode also showed similar results.
0 16777216 multipath 0 0 1 1 io-affinity 0 16 1 8:16 1 8:32 2 8:64 4
8:48 8 8:80 10 8:96 20 8:112 40 8:128 80 8:144 100 8:160 200 8:176
400 8:192 800 8:208 1000 8:224 2000 8:240 4000 65:0 8000

we can see a IOPs increase of 25%.

The percent increase depends on the device and interconnect. For a
slower/medium speed path/device that can do around 180K IOPs a path
if you ran that fio command to it directly we saw a 25% increase like
above. Slower path'd devices that could do around 90K per path showed
maybe around a 2 - 5% increase. If you use something like null_blk or
scsi_debug which can multi-million IOPs and hack it up so each device
they export shows up as a path then you see 50%+ increases.

dm mpath: add Historical Service Time Path Selector

This new selector keeps an exponential moving average of the service
time for each path (losely defined as delta between start_io and
end_io), and uses this along with the number of inflight requests to
estimate future service time for a path. Since we don't have a prober
to account for temporally slow paths, re-try "slow" paths every once in
a while (num_paths * historical_service_time). To account for fast paths
transitioning to slow, if a path has not completed any request within
(num_paths * historical_service_time), limit the number of outstanding
requests. To account for low volume situations where number of
inflight IOs would be zero, the last finish time of each path is
factored in.

dm: add clone target

Add the dm-clone target, which allows cloning of arbitrary block
devices.

dm-clone produces a one-to-one copy of an existing, read-only source
device into a writable destination device: It presents a virtual block
device which makes all data appear immediately, and redirects reads and
writes accordingly.

The main use case of dm-clone is to clone a potentially remote,
high-latency, read-only, archival-type block device into a writable,
fast, primary-type device for fast, low-latency I/O. The cloned device
is visible/mountable immediately and the copy of the source device to
the destination device happens in the background, in parallel with user
I/O.

When the cloning completes, the dm-clone table can be removed altogether
and be replaced, e.g., by a linear table, mapping directly to the
destination device.

For further information and examples of how to use dm-clone, please read
Documentation/admin-guide/device-mapper/dm-clone.rst

dm verity: add root hash pkcs#7 signature verification

The verification is to support cases where the root hash is not secured
by Trusted Boot, UEFI Secureboot or similar technologies.

One of the use cases for this is for dm-verity volumes mounted after
boot, the root hash provided during the creation of the dm-verity volume
has to be secure and thus in-kernel validation implemented here will be
used before we trust the root hash and allow the block device to be
created.

The signature being provided for verification must verify the root hash
and must be trusted by the builtin keyring for verification to succeed.

The hash is added as a key of type "user" and the description is passed
to the kernel so it can look it up and use it for verification.

Adds CONFIG_DM_VERITY_VERIFY_ROOTHASH_SIG which can be turned on if root
hash verification is needed.

Kernel commandline dm_verity module parameter 'require_signatures' will
indicate whether to force root hash signature verification (for all dm
verity volumes).

Th

dm: add dust target

Add the dm-dust target, which simulates the behavior of bad sectors
at arbitrary locations, and the ability to enable the emulation of
the read failures at an arbitrary time.

This target behaves similarly to a linear target. At a given time,
the user can send a message to the target to start failing read
requests on specific blocks. When the failure behavior is enabled,
reads of blocks configured "bad" will fail with EIO.

Writes of blocks configured "bad" will result in the following:

1. Remove the block from the "bad block list".
2. Successfully complete the write.

After this point, the block will successfully contain the written
data, and will service reads and writes normally. This emulates the
behavior of a "remapped sector" on a hard disk drive.

dm-dust provides logging of which blocks have been added or removed
to the "bad block list", as well as logging when a block has been
removed from the bad block list. These messages can be used
alongside the messages from the driver using a dm-dust device to
analyze the driver's behavior when a read fails at a given time.

(This logging can be reduced via a "quiet" mode, if desired.)

NOTE: If the block size is larger than 512 bytes, only the first sector
of each "dust block" is detected. Placing a limiting layer above a dust
target, to limit the minimum I/O size to the dust block size, will
ensure proper emulation of the given large block size.

dm: add support to directly boot to a mapped device

Add a "create" module parameter, which allows device-mapper targets to
be configured at boot time. This enables early use of DM targets in the
boot process (as the root device or otherwise) without the need of an
initramfs.

The syntax used in the boot param is based on the concise format from
the dmsetup tool to follow the rule of least surprise:

dmsetup table --concise /dev/mapper/lroot

Which is:
dm-mod.create=<name>,<uuid>,<minor>,<flags>,<table>[,<table>+][;<name>,<uuid>,<minor>,<flags>,<table>[,<table>+]+]

Where,
<name> ::= The device name.
<uuid> ::= xxxxxxxx-xxxx-xxxx-xxxx-xxxxxxxxxxxx | ""
<minor> ::= The device minor number | ""
<flags> ::= "ro" | "rw"
<table> ::= <start_sector> <num_sectors> <target_type> <target_args>
<target_type> ::= "verity" | "linear" | ...

For example, the following could be added in the boot parameters:
dm-mod.create="lroot,,,rw, 0 4096 linear 98:16 0, 4096 4096 linear 98:32 0" root=/dev/dm-0

Only the targets that were tested are allowed and the ones that don't
change any block device when the device is create as read-only. For
example, mirror and cache targets are not allowed. The rationale behind
this is that if the user makes a mistake, choosing the wrong device to
be the mirror or the cache can corrupt data.

The only targets initially allowed are:
* crypt
* delay
* linear
* snapshot-origin
* striped
* verity

License cleanup: add SPDX GPL-2.0 license identifier to files with no license

Many source files in the tree are missing licensing information, which
makes it harder for compliance tools to determine the correct license.

By default all files without license information are under the default
license of the kernel, which is GPL version 2.

Update the files which contain no license information with the 'GPL-2.0'
SPDX license identifier. The SPDX identifier is a legally binding
shorthand, which can be used instead of the full boiler plate text.

This patch is based on work done by Thomas Gleixner and Kate Stewart and
Philippe Ombredanne.

How this work was done:

Patches were generated and checked against linux-4.14-rc6 for a subset of
the use cases:
- file had no licensing information it it.
- file was a */uapi/* one with no licensing information in it,
- file was a */uapi/* one with existing licensing information,

Further patches will be generated in subsequent months to fix up cases
where non-standard license headers were used, and references to license
had to be inferred by heuristics based on keywords.

The analysis to determine which SPDX License Identifier to be applied to
a file was done in a spreadsheet of side by side results from of the
output of two independent scanners (ScanCode & Windriver) producing SPDX
tag:value files created by Philippe Ombredanne. Philippe prepared the
base worksheet, and did an initial spot review of a few 1000 files.

The 4.13 kernel was the starting point of the analysis with 60,537 files
assessed. Kate Stewart did a file by file comparison of the scanner
results in the spreadsheet to determine which SPDX license identifier(s)
to be applied to the file. She confirmed any determination that was not
immediately clear with lawyers working with the Linux Foundation.

Criteria used to select files for SPDX license identifier tagging was:
- Files considered eligible had to be source code files.
- Make and config files were included as candidates if they contained >5
lines of source
- File already had some variant of a license header in it (even if <5
lines).

All documentation files were explicitly excluded.

The following heuristics were used to determine which SPDX license
identifiers to apply.

- when both scanners couldn't find any license traces, file was
considered to have no license information in it, and the top level
COPYING file license applied.

For non */uapi/* files that summary was:

SPDX license identifier # files
---------------------------------------------------|-------
GPL-2.0 11139

and resulted in the first patch in this series.

If that file was a */uapi/* path one, it was "GPL-2.0 WITH
Linux-syscall-note" otherwise it was "GPL-2.0". Results of that was:

SPDX license identifier # files
---------------------------------------------------|-------
GPL-2.0 WITH Linux-syscall-note 930

and resulted in the second patch in this series.

- if a file had some form of licensing information in it, and was one
of the */uapi/* ones, it was denoted with the Linux-syscall-note if
any GPL family license was found in the file or had no licensing in
it (per prior point). Results summary:

SPDX license identifier # files
---------------------------------------------------|------
GPL-2.0 WITH Linux-syscall-note 270
GPL-2.0+ WITH Linux-syscall-note 169
((GPL-2.0 WITH Linux-syscall-note) OR BSD-2-Clause) 21
((GPL-2.0 WITH Linux-syscall-note) OR BSD-3-Clause) 17
LGPL-2.1+ WITH Linux-syscall-note 15
GPL-1.0+ WITH Linux-syscall-note 14
((GPL-2.0+ WITH Linux-syscall-note) OR BSD-3-Clause) 5
LGPL-2.0+ WITH Linux-syscall-note 4
LGPL-2.1 WITH Linux-syscall-note 3
((GPL-2.0 WITH Linux-syscall-note) OR MIT) 3
((GPL-2.0 WITH Linux-syscall-note) AND MIT) 1

and that resulted in the third patch in this series.

- when the two scanners agreed on the detected license(s), that became
the concluded license(s).

- when there was disagreement between the two scanners (one detected a
license but the other didn't, or they both detected different
licenses) a manual inspection of the file occurred.

- In most cases a manual inspection of the information in the file
resulted in a clear resolution of the license that should apply (and
which scanner probably needed to revisit its heuristics).

- When it was not immediately clear, the license identifier was
confirmed with lawyers working with the Linux Foundation.

- If there was any question as to the appropriate license identifier,
the file was flagged for further research and to be revisited later
in time.

In total, over 70 hours of logged manual review was done on the
spreadsheet to determine the SPDX license identifiers to apply to the
source files by Kate, Philippe, Thomas and, in some cases, confirmation
by lawyers working with the Linux Foundation.

Kate also obtained a third independent scan of the 4.13 code base from
FOSSology, and compared selected files where the other two scanners
disagreed against that SPDX file, to see if there was new insights. The
Windriver scanner is based on an older version of FOSSology in part, so
they are related.

Thomas did random spot checks in about 500 files from the spreadsheets
for the uapi headers and agreed with SPDX license identifier in the
files he inspected. For the non-uapi files Thomas did random spot checks
in about 15000 files.

In initial set of patches against 4.14-rc6, 3 files were found to have
copy/paste license identifier errors, and have been fixed to reflect the
correct identifier.

Additionally Philippe spent 10 hours this week doing a detailed manual
inspection and review of the 12,461 patched files from the initial patch
version early this week with:
- a full scancode scan run, collecting the matched texts, detected
license ids and scores
- reviewing anything where there was a license detected (about 500+
files) to ensure that the applied SPDX license was correct
- reviewing anything where there was no detection but the patch license
was not GPL-2.0 WITH Linux-syscall-note to ensure that the applied
SPDX license was correct

This produced a worksheet with 20 files needing minor correction. This
worksheet was then exported into 3 different .csv files for the
different types of files to be modified.

These .csv files were then reviewed by Greg. Thomas wrote a script to
parse the csv files and add the proper SPDX tag to the file, in the
format that the file expected. This script was further refined by Greg
based on the output to detect more types of files automatically and to
distinguish between header and source .c files (which need different
comment types.) Finally Greg ran the script using the .csv files to
generate the patches.
