2005-06-24AUDIT: Use KERN_NOTICE for printk of audit recordsDavid Woodhouse
They aren't errors. Signed-off-by: David Woodhouse <dwmw2@infradead.org>
2005-06-24AUDIT: Clean up user message filteringDavid Woodhouse
Don't look up the task by its pid and then use the syscall filtering helper. Just implement our own filter helper which operates solely on the information in the netlink_skb_parms. Signed-off-by: David Woodhouse <dwmw2@infradead.org>
2005-06-24AUDIT: Return correct result from audit_filter_rules()David Woodhouse
When the task refcounting was added to audit_filter_rules() it became more of a problem that this function was violating the 'only one return from each function' rule. In fixing it to use a variable to store 'ret' I stupidly neglected to actually change the 'return 1;' at the end. This makes it not work very well.

2005-06-22AUDIT: Wait for backlog to clear when generating messages.David Woodhouse
Add a gfp_mask to audit_log_start() and audit_log(), to reduce the amount of GFP_ATOMIC allocation -- most of it doesn't need to be GFP_ATOMIC. Also if the mask includes __GFP_WAIT, then wait up to 60 seconds for the auditd backlog to clear instead of immediately abandoning the message. The timeout should probably be made configurable, but for now it'll suffice that it only happens if auditd is actually running. Signed-off-by: David Woodhouse <dwmw2@infradead.org>
2005-06-22AUDIT: Optimise the audit-disabled case for discarding user messagesDavid Woodhouse
Also exempt USER_AVC message from being discarded to preserve existing behaviour for SE Linux. Signed-off-by: David Woodhouse <dwmw2@infradead.org>
2005-06-21AUDIT: Spawn kernel thread to list filter rules.David Woodhouse
If we have enough rules to fill the netlink buffer space, it'll deadlock because auditctl isn't ever actually going to read from the socket until we return, and we aren't going to return until it reads... so we spawn a kernel thread to spew out the list and then exit. Signed-off-by: David Woodhouse <dwmw2@infradead.org>
2005-06-20AUDIT: Report lookup flags with path/inode records.David Woodhouse
When LOOKUP_PARENT is used, the inode which results is not the inode found at the pathname. Report the flags so that this doesn't generate misleading audit records. Signed-off-by: David Woodhouse <dwmw2@infradead.org>

2005-06-19AUDIT: Allow filtering of user messagesDavid Woodhouse
Turn the field from a bitmask to an enumeration and add a list to allow filtering of messages generated by userspace. We also define a list for file system watches in anticipation of that feature. Signed-off-by: David Woodhouse <dwmw2@infradead.org>

2005-05-31[PATCH] flush icache in correct contextRoman Zippel
flush_icache_range() is used in two different situation - in binfmt_elf.c & co for user space mappings and module.c for kernel modules. On m68k flush_icache_range() doesn't know which data to flush, as it has separate address spaces and the pointer argument can be valid in either address space. First I considered splitting flush_icache_range(), but this patch is simpler. Setting the correct context gives flush_icache_range() enough information to flush the correct data.

2005-05-28[PATCH] drop note_interrupt() for per-CPU for proper scalingJohn Hawkes
The "unhandled interrupts" catcher, note_interrupt(), increments a global desc->irq_count and grossly damages scaling of very large systems, e.g., >192p ia64 Altix, because of this highly contented cacheline, especially for timer interrupts. 384p is severely crippled, and 512p is unuseable. All calls to note_interrupt() can be disabled by booting with "noirqdebug", but this disables the useful interrupt checking for all interrupts. I propose eliminating note_interrupt() for all per-CPU interrupts. This was the behavior of linux-2.6.10 and earlier, but in 2.6.11 a code restructuring added a call to note_interrupt() for per-CPU interrupts. Besides, note_interrupt() is a bit racy for concurrent CPU calls anyway, as the desc->irq_count++ increment isn't atomic (which, if done, would make scaling even worse).

2005-05-27[PATCH] cpuset exit NULL dereference fixPaul Jackson
There is a race in the kernel cpuset code, between the code to handle notify_on_release, and the code to remove a cpuset. The notify_on_release code can end up trying to access a cpuset that has been removed. In the most common case, this causes a NULL pointer dereference from the routine cpuset_path. However all manner of bad things are possible, in theory at least. The existing code decrements the cpuset use count, and if the count goes to zero, processes the notify_on_release request, if appropriate. However, once the count goes to zero, unless we are holding the global cpuset_sem semaphore, there is nothing to stop another task from immediately removing the cpuset entirely, and recycling its memory. The obvious fix would be to always hold the cpuset_sem semaphore while decrementing the use count and dealing with notify_on_release. However we don't want to force a global semaphore into the mainline task exit path, as that might create a scaling problem. The actual fix is almost as easy - since this is only an issue for cpusets using notify_on_release, which the top level big cpusets don't normally need to use, only take the cpuset_sem for cpusets using notify_on_release. This code has been run for hours without a hiccup, while running a cpuset create/destroy stress test that could crash the existing kernel in seconds. This patch applies to the current -linus git kernel.

2005-05-26AUDIT: Defer freeing aux items until audit_free_context()David Woodhouse
While they were all just simple blobs it made sense to just free them as we walked through and logged them. Now that there are pointers to other objects which need refcounting, we might as well revert to _only_ logging them in audit_log_exit(), and put the code to free them properly in only one place -- in audit_free_aux().

2005-05-21AUDIT: Assign serial number to non-syscall messagesDavid Woodhouse
Move audit_serial() into audit.c and use it to generate serial numbers on messages even when there is no audit context from syscall auditing.

2005-05-21[PATCH] spin_unlock_bh() and preempt_check_resched()Samuel Thibault
In _spin_unlock_bh(lock): do { \ _raw_spin_unlock(lock); \ preempt_enable(); \ local_bh_enable(); \ __release(lock); \ } while (0) there is no reason for using preempt_enable() instead of a simple preempt_enable_no_resched() Since we know bottom halves are disabled, preempt_schedule() will always return at once (preempt_count!=0), and hence preempt_check_resched() is useless here... This fixes it by using "preempt_enable_no_resched()" instead of the "preempt_enable()", and thus avoids the useless preempt_check_resched() just before re-enabling bottom halves.

2005-05-20[PATCH] cpusets+hotplug+preepmt brokenPaul Jackson
This patch removes the entwining of cpusets and hotplug code in the "No more Mr. Nice Guy" case of sched.c move_task_off_dead_cpu(). Since the hotplug code is holding a spinlock at this point, we cannot take the cpuset semaphore, cpuset_sem, as would seem to be required either to update the tasks cpuset, or to scan up the nested cpuset chain, looking for the nearest cpuset ancestor that still has some CPUs that are online. So we just punt and blast the tasks cpus_allowed with all bits allowed. This reverts these lines of code to what they were before the cpuset patch. And it updates the cpuset Doc file, to match. The one known alternative to this that seems to work came from Dinakar Guniguntala, and required the hotplug code to take the cpuset_sem semaphore much earlier in its processing. So far as we know, the increased locking entanglement between cpusets and hot plug of this alternative approach is not worth doing in this case.

2005-05-19AUDIT: Clean up logging of untrusted stringsSteve Grubb
* If vsnprintf returns -1, it will mess up the sk buffer space accounting. This is fixed by not calling skb_put with bogus len values. * audit_log_hex was a loop that called audit_log_vformat with %02X for each character. This is very inefficient since conversion from unsigned character to Ascii representation is essentially masking, shifting, and byte lookups. Also, the length of the converted string is well known - it's twice the original. Fixed by rewriting the function. * audit_log_untrustedstring had no comments. This makes it hard for someone to understand what the string format will be. * audit_log_d_path was never fixed to use untrustedstring. This could mess up user space parsers. This was fixed to make a temp buffer, call d_path, and log temp buffer using untrustedstring. From: Steve Grubb <sgrubb@redhat.com> Signed-off-by: David Woodhouse <dwmw2@infradead.org>

2005-05-17[PATCH] Driver Core: pm diagnostics update, check for errorsDavid Brownell
This patch includes various tweaks in the messaging that appears during system pm state transitions: * Warn about certain illegal calls in the device tree, like resuming child before parent or suspending parent before child. This could happen easily enough through sysfs, or in some cases when drivers use device_pm_set_parent(). * Be more consistent about dev_dbg() tracing ... do it for resume() and shutdown() too, and never if the driver doesn't have that method. * Say which type of system sleep state is being entered. Except for the warnings, these only affect debug messaging.

2005-05-17[PATCH] spurious interrupt fixZhang, Yanmin
On my IA64 machine, after kernel 2.6.12-rc3 boots, an edge-triggered interrupt (IRQ 46) keeps triggered over and over again. There is no IRQ 46 interrupt action handler. It has lots of impact on performance. Kernel 2.6.10 and its prior versions have no the problem. Basically, kernel 2.6.10 will mask the spurious edge interrupt if the interrupt is triggered for the second time and its status includes IRQ_DISABLE|IRQ_PENDING. Originally, IA64 kernel has its own specific _irq_desc definitions in file arch/ia64/kernel/irq.c. The definition initiates _irq_desc[irq].status to IRQ_DISABLE. Since kernel 2.6.11, it was moved to architecture independent codes, i.e. kernel/irq/handle.c, but kernel/irq/handle.c initiates _irq_desc[irq].status to 0 instead of IRQ_DISABLE.
