2012-01-29PM / Hibernate: Fix s2disk regression related to freezing workqueuesRafael J. Wysocki
Commit 2aede851ddf08666f68ffc17be446420e9d2a056 PM / Hibernate: Freeze kernel threads after preallocating memory introduced a mechanism by which kernel threads were frozen after the preallocation of hibernate image memory to avoid problems with frozen kernel threads not responding to memory freeing requests. However, it overlooked the s2disk code path in which the SNAPSHOT_CREATE_IMAGE ioctl was run directly after SNAPSHOT_FREE, which caused freeze_workqueues_begin() to BUG(), because it saw that worqueues had been already frozen. Although in principle this issue might be addressed by removing the relevant BUG_ON() from freeze_workqueues_begin(), that would reintroduce the very problem that commit 2aede851ddf08666f68ffc17be4 attempted to avoid into that particular code path. For this reason, to fix the issue at hand, introduce thaw_kernel_threads() and make the SNAPSHOT_FREE ioctl execute it. Special thanks to Srivatsa S. Bhat for detailed analysis of the problem.

2012-01-22net: introduce res_counter_charge_nofail() for socket allocationsGlauber Costa
There is a case in __sk_mem_schedule(), where an allocation is beyond the maximum, but yet we are allowed to proceed. It happens under the following condition: sk->sk_wmem_queued + size >= sk->sk_sndbuf The network code won't revert the allocation in this case, meaning that at some point later it'll try to do it. Since this is never communicated to the underlying res_counter code, there is an inbalance in res_counter uncharge operation. I see two ways of fixing this: 1) storing the information about those allocations somewhere in memcg, and then deducting from that first, before we start draining the res_counter, 2) providing a slightly different allocation function for the res_counter, that matches the original behavior of the network code more closely. I decided to go for #2 here, believing it to be more elegant, since #1 would require us to do basically that, but in a more obscure way.

2012-01-17audit: only allow tasks to set their loginuid if it is -1Eric Paris
At the moment we allow tasks to set their loginuid if they have CAP_AUDIT_CONTROL. In reality we want tasks to set the loginuid when they log in and it be impossible to ever reset. We had to make it mutable even after it was once set (with the CAP) because on update and admin might have to restart sshd. Now sshd would get his loginuid and the next user which logged in using ssh would not be able to set his loginuid. Systemd has changed how userspace works and allowed us to make the kernel work the way it should. With systemd users (even admins) are not supposed to restart services directly. The system will restart the service for them. Thus since systemd is going to loginuid==-1, sshd would get -1, and sshd would be allowed to set a new loginuid without special permissions. If an admin in this system were to manually start an sshd he is inserting himself into the system chain of trust and thus, logically, it's his loginuid that should be used! Since we have old systems I make this a Kconfig option. Signed-off-by: Eric Paris <eparis@redhat.com>

Since the current task cannot be in AUDIT_RECORD_CONTEXT we aren't every going to actually use the code in audit_finish_fork() since it will return without doing anything. Thus drop the code.

2012-01-17audit: inline audit_syscall_entry to reduce burden on archsEric Paris

2012-01-17Audit: push audit success and retcode into arch ptrace.hEric Paris
The audit system previously expected arches calling to audit_syscall_exit to supply as arguments if the syscall was a success and what the return code was. Audit also provides a helper AUDITSC_RESULT which was supposed to simplify things by converting from negative retcodes to an audit internal magic value stating success or failure. This helper was wrong and could indicate that a valid pointer returned to userspace was a failed syscall. The fix is to fix the layering foolishness. We now pass audit_syscall_exit a struct pt_reg and it in turns calls back into arch code to collect the return value and to determine if the syscall was a success or failure. We also define a generic is_syscall_success() macro which determines success/failure based on if the value is < -MAX_ERRNO. This works for arches like x86 which do not use a separate mechanism to indicate syscall failure. We make both the is_syscall_success() and regs_return_value() static inlines instead of macros. The reason is because the audit function must take a void* for the regs. (uml calls theirs struct uml_pt_regs instead of just struct pt_regs so audit_syscall_exit can't take a struct pt_regs). Since the audit function takes a void* we need to use static inlines to cast it back to the arch correct structure to dereference it. The other major change is that on some arches, like ia64, MIPS and ppc, we change regs_return_value() to give us the negative value on syscall failure. THE only other user of this macro, kretprobe_example.c, won't notice and it makes the value signed consistently for the audit functions across all archs. In arch/sh/kernel/ptrace_64.c I see that we were using regs[9] in the old audit code as the return value. But the ptrace_64.h code defined the macro regs_return_value() as regs[3]. I have no idea which one is correct, but this patch now uses the regs_return_value() function, so it now uses regs[3]. For powerpc we previously used regs->result but now use the regs_return_value() function which uses regs->gprs[3]. regs->gprs[3] is always positive so the regs_return_value(), much like ia64 makes it negative before calling the audit code when appropriate.

2012-01-17audit: check current inode and containing object when filtering on major and ↵Eric Paris
minor The audit system has the ability to filter on the major and minor number of the device containing the inode being operated upon. Lets say that /dev/sda1 has major,minor 8,1 and that we mount /dev/sda1 on /boot. Now lets say we add a watch with a filter on 8,1. If we proceed to open an inode inside /boot, such as /vboot/vmlinuz, we will match the major,minor filter. Lets instead assume that one were to use a tool like debugfs and were to open /dev/sda1 directly and to modify it's contents. We might hope that this would also be logged, but it isn't. The rules will check the major,minor of the device containing /dev/sda1. In other words the rule would match on the major/minor of the tmpfs mounted at /dev. I believe these rules should trigger on either device. The man page is devoid of useful information about the intended semantics. It only seems logical that if you want to know everything that happened on a major,minor that would include things that happened to the device itself... Signed-off-by: Eric Paris <eparis@redhat.com>

2012-01-17audit: dynamically allocate audit_names when not enough space is in the ↵Eric Paris
names array This patch does 2 things. First it reduces the number of audit_names allocated in every audit context from 20 to 5. 5 should be enough for all 'normal' syscalls (rename being the worst). Some syscalls can still touch more the 5 inodes such as mount. When rpc filesystem is mounted it will create inodes and those can exceed 5. To handle that problem this patch will dynamically allocate audit_names if it needs more than 5. This should decrease the typicall memory usage while still supporting all the possible kernel operations. Signed-off-by: Eric Paris <eparis@redhat.com>
2012-01-17audit: make filetype matching consistent with other filtersEric Paris
Every other filter that matches part of the inodes list collected by audit will match against any of the inodes on that list. The filetype matching however had a strange way of doing things. It allowed userspace to indicated if it should match on the first of the second name collected by the kernel. Name collection ordering seems like a kernel internal and making userspace rules get that right just seems like a bad idea. As it turns out the userspace audit writers had no idea it was doing this and thus never overloaded the value field. The kernel always checked the first name collected which for the tested rules was always correct. This patch just makes the filetype matching like the major, minor, inode, and LSM rules in that it will match against any of the names collected. It also changes the rule validation to reject the old unused rule types. Noone knew it was there. Noone used it. Why keep around the extra code? Signed-off-by: Eric Paris <eparis@redhat.com>

This reverts commit d2a7009f0bb03fa22ad08dd25472efa0568126b9. J. R. Okajima explains: "After this commit, I am afraid access(2) on NFS may not work correctly. The scenario based upon my guess. - access(2) overrides the credentials. - calls inode_permission() -- ... -- generic_permission() -- ns_capable(). - while the old ns_capable() calls security_capable(current_cred()), the new ns_capable() calls has_ns_capability(current) -- security_capable(__task_cred(t)). current_cred() returns current->cred which is effective (overridden) credentials, but __task_cred(current) returns current->real_cred (the NFSD's credential). And the overridden credentials by access(2) lost." Requested-by: J. R.

2012-01-16rcu: Add missing __cpuinit annotation in rcutorture codeHeiko Carstens
"rcu: Add rcutorture CPU-hotplug capability" adds cpu hotplug operations to the rcutorture code but produces a false positive warning about section mismatches: WARNING: vmlinux.o(.text+0x1e420c): Section mismatch in reference from the function rcu_torture_onoff() to the function .cpuinit.text:cpu_up() The function rcu_torture_onoff() references the function __cpuinit cpu_up(). This is often because rcu_torture_onoff lacks a __cpuinit annotation or the annotation of cpu_up is wrong. This commit therefore adds a __cpuinit annotation so the warning goes away.

2012-01-16rcu: Make rcutorture bool parameters really bool (core code)Rusty Russell
module_param(bool) used to counter-intuitively take an int. In fddd5201 (mid-2009) we allowed bool or int/unsigned int using a messy trick. It's time to remove the int/unsigned int option. For this version it'll simply give a warning, but it'll break next kernel version. This commit makes this change to rcutorture.

2012-01-16tracepoints/module: Fix disabling tracepoints with taint CRAP or OOTSteven Rostedt
Tracepoints are disabled for tainted modules, which is usually because the module is either proprietary or was forced, and we don't want either of them using kernel tracepoints. But, a module can also be tainted by being in the staging directory or compiled out of tree. Either is fine for use with tracepoints, no need to punish them. I found this out when I noticed that my sample trace event module, when done out of tree, stopped working.
