Inaugurate copy-on-write credentials management. This uses RCU to manage the
credentials pointer in the task_struct with respect to accesses by other tasks.
A process may only modify its own credentials, and so does not need locking to
access or modify its own credentials.
A mutex (cred_replace_mutex) is added to the task_struct to control the effect
of PTRACE_ATTACHED on credential calculations, particularly with respect to
execve().
With this patch, the contents of an active credentials struct may not be
changed directly; rather a new set of credentials must be prepared, modified
and committed using something like the following sequence of events:
struct cred *new = prepare_creds();
int ret = blah(new);
if (ret < 0) {
abort_creds(new);
return ret;
}
return commit_creds(new);
There are some exceptions to this rule: the keyrings pointed to by the active
credentials may be instantiated - keyrings violate the COW rule as managing
COW keyrings is tricky, given that it is possible for a task to directly alter
the keys in a keyring in use by another task.
To help enforce this, various pointers to sets of credentials, such as those in
the task_struct, are declared const. The purpose of this is compile-time
discouragement of altering credentials through those pointers. Once a set of
credentials has been made public through one of these pointers, it may not be
modified, except under special circumstances:
(1) Its reference count may incremented and decremented.
(2) The keyrings to which it points may be modified, but not replaced.
The only safe way to modify anything else is to create a replacement and commit
using the functions described in Documentation/credentials.txt (which will be
added by a later patch).
This patch and the preceding patches have been tested with the LTP SELinux
testsuite.
This patch makes several logical sets of alteration:
(1) execve().
This now prepares and commits credentials in various places in the
security code rather than altering the current creds directly.
(2) Temporary credential overrides.
do_coredump() and sys_faccessat() now prepare their own credentials and
temporarily override the ones currently on the acting thread, whilst
preventing interference from other threads by holding cred_replace_mutex
on the thread being dumped.
This will be replaced in a future patch by something that hands down the
credentials directly to the functions being called, rather than altering
the task's objective credentials.
(3) LSM interface.
A number of functions have been changed, added or removed:
(*) security_capset_check(), ->capset_check()
(*) security_capset_set(), ->capset_set()
Removed in favour of security_capset().
(*) security_capset(), ->capset()
New. This is passed a pointer to the new creds, a pointer to the old
creds and the proposed capability sets. It should fill in the new
creds or return an error. All pointers, barring the pointer to the
new creds, are now const.
(*) security_bprm_apply_creds(), ->bprm_apply_creds()
Changed; now returns a value, which will cause the process to be
killed if it's an error.
(*) security_task_alloc(), ->task_alloc_security()
Removed in favour of security_prepare_creds().
(*) security_cred_free(), ->cred_free()
New. Free security data attached to cred->security.
(*) security_prepare_creds(), ->cred_prepare()
New. Duplicate any security data attached to cred->security.
(*) security_commit_creds(), ->cred_commit()
New. Apply any security effects for the upcoming installation of new
security by commit_creds().
(*) security_task_post_setuid(), ->task_post_setuid()
Removed in favour of security_task_fix_setuid().
(*) security_task_fix_setuid(), ->task_fix_setuid()
Fix up the proposed new credentials for setuid(). This is used by
cap_set_fix_setuid() to implicitly adjust capabilities in line with
setuid() changes. Changes are made to the new credentials, rather
than the task itself as in security_task_post_setuid().
(*) security_task_reparent_to_init(), ->task_reparent_to_init()
Removed. Instead the task being reparented to init is referred
directly to init's credentials.
NOTE! This results in the loss of some state: SELinux's osid no
longer records the sid of the thread that forked it.
(*) security_key_alloc(), ->key_alloc()
(*) security_key_permission(), ->key_permission()
Changed. These now take cred pointers rather than task pointers to
refer to the security context.
(4) sys_capset().
This has been simplified and uses less locking. The LSM functions it
calls have been merged.
(5) reparent_to_kthreadd().
This gives the current thread the same credentials as init by simply using
commit_thread() to point that way.
(6) __sigqueue_alloc() and switch_uid()
__sigqueue_alloc() can't stop the target task from changing its creds
beneath it, so this function gets a reference to the currently applicable
user_struct which it then passes into the sigqueue struct it returns if
successful.
switch_uid() is now called from commit_creds(), and possibly should be
folded into that. commit_creds() should take care of protecting
__sigqueue_alloc().
(7) [sg]et[ug]id() and co and [sg]et_current_groups.
The set functions now all use prepare_creds(), commit_creds() and
abort_creds() to build and check a new set of credentials before applying
it.
security_task_set[ug]id() is called inside the prepared section. This
guarantees that nothing else will affect the creds until we've finished.
The calling of set_dumpable() has been moved into commit_creds().
Much of the functionality of set_user() has been moved into
commit_creds().
The get functions all simply access the data directly.
(8) security_task_prctl() and cap_task_prctl().
security_task_prctl() has been modified to return -ENOSYS if it doesn't
want to handle a function, or otherwise return the return value directly
rather than through an argument.
Additionally, cap_task_prctl() now prepares a new set of credentials, even
if it doesn't end up using it.
(9) Keyrings.
A number of changes have been made to the keyrings code:
(a) switch_uid_keyring(), copy_keys(), exit_keys() and suid_keys() have
all been dropped and built in to the credentials functions directly.
They may want separating out again later.
(b) key_alloc() and search_process_keyrings() now take a cred pointer
rather than a task pointer to specify the security context.
(c) copy_creds() gives a new thread within the same thread group a new
thread keyring if its parent had one, otherwise it discards the thread
keyring.
(d) The authorisation key now points directly to the credentials to extend
the search into rather pointing to the task that carries them.
(e) Installing thread, process or session keyrings causes a new set of
credentials to be created, even though it's not strictly necessary for
process or session keyrings (they're shared).
(10) Usermode helper.
The usermode helper code now carries a cred struct pointer in its
subprocess_info struct instead of a new session keyring pointer. This set
of credentials is derived from init_cred and installed on the new process
after it has been cloned.
call_usermodehelper_setup() allocates the new credentials and
call_usermodehelper_freeinfo() discards them if they haven't been used. A
special cred function (prepare_usermodeinfo_creds()) is provided
specifically for call_usermodehelper_setup() to call.
call_usermodehelper_setkeys() adjusts the credentials to sport the
supplied keyring as the new session keyring.
(11) SELinux.
SELinux has a number of changes, in addition to those to support the LSM
interface changes mentioned above:
(a) selinux_setprocattr() no longer does its check for whether the
current ptracer can access processes with the new SID inside the lock
that covers getting the ptracer's SID. Whilst this lock ensures that
the check is done with the ptracer pinned, the result is only valid
until the lock is released, so there's no point doing it inside the
lock.
(12) is_single_threaded().
This function has been extracted from selinux_setprocattr() and put into
a file of its own in the lib/ directory as join_session_keyring() now
wants to use it too.
The code in SELinux just checked to see whether a task shared mm_structs
with other tasks (CLONE_VM), but that isn't good enough. We really want
to know if they're part of the same thread group (CLONE_THREAD).
(13) nfsd.
The NFS server daemon now has to use the COW credentials to set the
credentials it is going to use. It really needs to pass the credentials
down to the functions it calls, but it can't do that until other patches
in this series have been applied.

In testing 2.6.28-rc1, I found that passing 'dynamic_printk' on the command
line didn't activate the debug code. The problem is that dynamic_printk_setup()
(which activates the debugging) is being called before dynamic_printk_init() is
called (which initializes infrastructure). Fix this by setting setting the
state to 'DYNAMIC_ENABLED_ALL' in dynamic_printk_setup(), which will also
cause all subsequent modules to have debugging automatically started, which is
probably the behavior we want.

swiotlb_alloc_coherent calls panic() when allocated swiotlb pages is
not fit for a device's dma mask. However, alloc_coherent failure is
not a disaster at all. AFAIK, none of other x86 and IA64 IOMMU
implementations don't crash in case of alloc_coherent failure.
There are some drivers that don't check alloc_coherent failure but not
many (about ten and I've already started to fix some of
them). alloc_coherent returns NULL in case of failure so it's likely
that these guilty drivers crash immediately. So swiotlb doesn't need
to call panic() just for them.

We would hang forever when passing a zero to string_get_size().
Furthermore, string_get_size() would produce decimals on a value small
enough to be exact. Finally, a few formatting issues are inconsistent
with standard SI style guidelines.
- If the value is less than the divisor, skip the entire rounding
step. This prints out all small values including zero as integers,
without decimals.
- Add a space between the value and the symbol for the unit,
consistent with standard SI practice.
- Lower case k in kB since we are talking about powers of 10.
- Finally, change "int" to "unsigned int" in one place to shut up a
gcc warning when compiling the code out-of-kernel for testing.

When looking at kobject_rename I found two bugs with
that exist when sysfs support is disabled in the kernel.
kobject_rename does not change the name on the kobject when
sysfs support is not compiled in.
kobject_rename without locking attempts to check the
validity of a rename operation, which the kobject layer
simply does not have the infrastructure to do.
This patch documents the previously unstated requirement of
kobject_rename that is the responsibility of the caller to
provide mutual exclusion and to be certain that the new_name
for the kobject is valid.
This patch modifies sysfs_rename_dir in !CONFIG_SYSFS case
to call kobject_set_name to actually change the kobject_name.
This patch removes the bogus and misleading check in kobject_rename
that attempts to see if a rename is valid. The check is bogus
because we do not have the proper locking. The check is misleading
because it looks like we can and do perform checking at the kobject
level that we don't.

Base infrastructure to enable per-module debug messages.
I've introduced CONFIG_DYNAMIC_PRINTK_DEBUG, which when enabled centralizes
control of debugging statements on a per-module basis in one /proc file,
currently, <debugfs>/dynamic_printk/modules. When, CONFIG_DYNAMIC_PRINTK_DEBUG,
is not set, debugging statements can still be enabled as before, often by
defining 'DEBUG' for the proper compilation unit. Thus, this patch set has no
affect when CONFIG_DYNAMIC_PRINTK_DEBUG is not set.
The infrastructure currently ties into all pr_debug() and dev_dbg() calls. That
is, if CONFIG_DYNAMIC_PRINTK_DEBUG is set, all pr_debug() and dev_dbg() calls
can be dynamically enabled/disabled on a per-module basis.
Future plans include extending this functionality to subsystems, that define
their own debug levels and flags.
Usage:
Dynamic debugging is controlled by the debugfs file,
<debugfs>/dynamic_printk/modules. This file contains a list of the modules that
can be enabled. The format of the file is as follows:
<module_name> <enabled=0/1>
.
.
.
<module_name> : Name of the module in which the debug call resides
<enabled=0/1> : whether the messages are enabled or not
For example:
snd_hda_intel enabled=0
fixup enabled=1
driver enabled=0
Enable a module:
$echo "set enabled=1 <module_name>" > dynamic_printk/modules
Disable a module:
$echo "set enabled=0 <module_name>" > dynamic_printk/modules
Enable all modules:
$echo "set enabled=1 all" > dynamic_printk/modules
Disable all modules:
$echo "set enabled=0 all" > dynamic_printk/modules
Finally, passing "dynamic_printk" at the command line enables
debugging for all modules. This mode can be turned off via the above
disable command.

Only works for the generic request timer handling. Allows one to
sporadically ignore request completions, thus exercising the timeout
handling.

DEBUG_BLOCK_EXT_DEVT shuffles SCSI and IDE device numbers and root
device number set using rdev become meaningless. Root devices should
be explicitly specified using textual names. Warn about it if root
can't be found and DEBUG_BLOCK_EXT_DEVT is enabled. Also, add warning
to the help text.

Extended devt introduces non-contiguos device numbers. This patch
implements a debug option which forces most devt allocations to be
from the extended area and spreads them out. This is enabled by
default if DEBUG_KERNEL is set and achieves...
1. Detects code paths in kernel or userland which expect predetermined
consecutive device numbers.
2. When something goes wrong, avoid corruption as adding to the minor
of earlier partition won't lead to the wrong but valid device.

A klist entry is kept on the list till all its current iterations are
finished; however, a new iteration after deletion also iterates over
deleted entries as long as their reference count stays above zero.
This causes problems for cases where there are users which iterate
over the list while synchronized against list manipulations and
natuarally expect already deleted entries to not show up during
iteration.
This patch implements dead flag which gets set on deletion so that
iteration can skip already deleted entries. The dead flag piggy backs
on the lowest bit of knode->n_klist and only visible to klist
implementation proper.
While at it, drop klist_iter->i_head as it's redundant and doesn't
offer anything in semantics or performance wise as klist_iter->i_klist
is dereferenced on every iteration anyway.

This patch adds the ability to print sizes in either units of 10^3 (SI)
or 2^10 (Binary) units. It rounds up to three significant figures and
can be used for either memory or storage capacities.
Oh, and I'm fully aware that 64 bits is only 16EiB ... the Zetta and
Yotta units are added for future proofing against the day we have 128
bit computers ...

This patch adds stalled-CPU detection to Classic RCU. This capability
is enabled by a new config variable CONFIG_RCU_CPU_STALL_DETECTOR, which
defaults disabled.
This is a debugging feature to detect infinite loops in kernel code, not
something that non-kernel-hackers would be expected to care about.
This feature can detect looping CPUs in !PREEMPT builds and looping CPUs
with preemption disabled in PREEMPT builds. This is essentially a port of
this functionality from the treercu patch, replacing the stall debug patch
that is already in tip/core/rcu (commit 67182ae1c4).
The changes from the patch in tip/core/rcu include making the config
variable name match that in treercu, changing from seconds to jiffies to
avoid spurious warnings, and printing a boot message when this feature
is enabled.

x86 has set_bit_string() that does the exact same thing that
set_bit_area() in lib/iommu-helper.c does.
This patch exports set_bit_area() in lib/iommu-helper.c as
iommu_area_reserve(), converts GART, Calgary, and AMD IOMMU to use it.

bitmap_copy_le() copies a bitmap, putting the bits into little-endian
order (i.e., each unsigned long word in the bitmap is put into
little-endian order).
The UWB stack used bitmaps to manage Medium Access Slot availability,
and these bitmaps need to be written to the hardware in LE order.

* 'for-linus' of git://git.kernel.dk/linux-2.6-block:
sg: disable interrupts inside sg_copy_buffer
|
|
The callers of sg_copy_buffer must disable interrupts before calling
it (since it uses kmap_atomic). Some callers use it on
interrupt-disabled code but some need to take the trouble to disable
interrupts just for this. No wonder they forget about it and we hit a
bug like:
http://bugzilla.kernel.org/show_bug.cgi?id=11529
James said that it might be better to disable interrupts inside the
function rather than risk the callers getting it wrong.

This fixes a SWIOTLB oops
With SWIOTLB being enabled and straight-forward page allocation
failure [1], the swiotlb_alloc_coherent fall-back path hits an
issue [2], resulting in my webcam failing to work.
At the time of oops, RDI is clearly a pointer to a structure which
has arrived as NULL, leading to the typo in swiotlb_map_single's
callsite arguments.
Correctly passing the device structure [3] addresses the issue and
gets my webcam working again (the allocation failure still occuring).
