2008-04-18ptrace_signal subroutineRoland McGrath
This breaks out the ptrace handling from get_signal_to_deliver into a new subroutine. The actual code there doesn't change, and it gets inlined into nearly identical compiled code. This makes the function substantially shorter and thus easier to read, and it nicely isolates the ptrace magic.

When I ran a test program to fork mass processes and at the same time 'cat /cgroup/tasks', I got the following oops: ------------[ cut here ]------------ kernel BUG at lib/list_debug.c:72! invalid opcode: 0000 [#1] SMP Pid: 4178, comm: a.out Not tainted (2.6.25-rc9 #72) ...

After digging into the code and debugging, I finlly found out a race situation: do_exit() ->cgroup_exit() ->if (!list_empty(&tsk->cg_list)) list_del(&tsk->cg_list); cgroup_iter_start() ->cgroup_enable_task_cg_list() ->list_add(&tsk->cg_list, ..); In this case the list won't be deleted though the process has exited. We got two bug reports in the past, which seem to be the same bug as this one: http://lkml.org/lkml/2008/3/5/332 http://lkml.org/lkml/2007/10/17/224 Actually sometimes I got oops on list_del, sometimes oops on list_add.

2008-04-18SELinux: Add network port SID cachePaul Moore
Much like we added a network node cache, this patch adds a network port cache. The design is taken almost completely from the network node cache which in turn was taken from the network interface cache. The basic idea is to cache entries in a hash table based on protocol/port information. The hash function only takes the port number into account since the number of different protocols in use at any one time is expected to be relatively small.

2008-04-18selinux: introduce permissive typesEric Paris
Introduce the concept of a permissive type. A new ebitmap is introduced to the policy database which indicates if a given type has the permissive bit set or not. This bit is tested for the scontext of any denial. The bit is meaningless on types which only appear as the target of a decision and never the source. A domain running with a permissive type will be allowed to perform any action similarly to when the system is globally set permissive.

2008-04-18selinux: remove ptrace_sidRoland McGrath

2008-04-18SELinux: requesting no permissions in avc_has_perm_noaudit is a BUG()Eric Paris
This patch turns the case where we have a call into avc_has_perm with no requested permissions into a BUG_ON. All callers to this should be in the kernel and thus should be a function we need to fix if we ever hit this. The /selinux/access permission checking it done directly in the security server and not through the avc, so those requests which we cannot control from userspace should not be able to trigger this BUG_ON.

2008-04-18SELinux: create new open permissionEric Paris
Adds a new open permission inside SELinux when 'opening' a file. The idea is that opening a file and reading/writing to that file are not the same thing. Its different if a program had its stdout redirected to /tmp/output than if the program tried to directly open /tmp/output. This should allow policy writers to more liberally give read/write permissions across the policy while still blocking many design and programing flaws SELinux is so good at catching today.

2008-04-18SELinux: Correct the NetLabel locking for the sk_security_structPaul Moore
The RCU/spinlock locking approach for the nlbl_state in the sk_security_struct was almost certainly overkill. This patch removes both the RCU and spinlock locking, relying on the existing socket locks to handle the case of multiple writers. This change also makes several code reductions possible.

This fixes a problem where the > > "shutdown status flag" may remain set when a CPU is brought up after > > booting. > > btw., what problem does this result in, exactly? The shutdown status flag set to "0xA", corresponds to "JMP double word request without INT init". This JMP at reboot time is at an unintended location. And results in Triple faults in our case. Though this error at reboot can be safely ignored in a VM environment, am not sure what the effect would be on a physical system. May be it will result in a triple fault and an eventual hardware reset thus masking this BUG in the kernel. This fix just makes sure that we reset that status flag after initialization is done. Fix paranoia about using BIOS quickboot mechanism. Make sure that we clear the "shutdown status flag" in the CMOS register after each CPU is brought up. This fixes a problem where the "shutdown status flag" may remain set when a CPU is brought up after booting.
