Pull cgroup updates from Tejun Heo:
"A lot of activities on cgroup side. Heavy restructuring including
locking simplification took place to improve the code base and enable
implementation of the unified hierarchy, which currently exists behind
a __DEVEL__ mount option. The core support is mostly complete but
individual controllers need further work. To explain the design and
rationales of the the unified hierarchy
Documentation/cgroups/unified-hierarchy.txt
is added.
Another notable change is css (cgroup_subsys_state - what each
controller uses to identify and interact with a cgroup) iteration
update. This is part of continuing updates on css object lifetime and
visibility. cgroup started with reference count draining on removal
way back and is now reaching a point where csses behave and are
iterated like normal refcnted objects albeit with some complexities to
allow distinguishing the state where they're being deleted. The css
iteration update isn't taken advantage of yet but is planned to be
used to simplify memcg significantly"

Files are measured or appraised based on the IMA policy. When a
file, in policy, is opened with the O_DIRECT flag, a deadlock
occurs.
The first attempt at resolving this lockdep temporarily removed the
O_DIRECT flag and restored it, after calculating the hash. The
second attempt introduced the O_DIRECT_HAVELOCK flag. Based on this
flag, do_blockdev_direct_IO() would skip taking the i_mutex a second
time. The third attempt, by Dmitry Kasatkin, resolves the i_mutex
locking issue, by re-introducing the IMA mutex, but uncovered
another problem. Reading a file with O_DIRECT flag set, writes
directly to userspace pages. A second patch allocates a user-space
like memory. This works for all IMA hooks, except ima_file_free(),
which is called on __fput() to recalculate the file hash.
Until this last issue is addressed, do not 'collect' the
measurement for measuring, appraising, or auditing files opened
with the O_DIRECT flag set. Based on policy, permit or deny file
access. This patch defines a new IMA policy rule option named
'permit_directio'. Policy rules could be defined, based on LSM
or other criteria, to permit specific applications to open files
with the O_DIRECT flag set.

We presently prevent processes from using setexecon() to set the
security label of exec()'d processes when NO_NEW_PRIVS is enabled by
returning an error; however, we silently ignore setexeccon() when
exec()'ing from a nosuid mounted filesystem. This patch makes things
a bit more consistent by returning an error in the setexeccon()/nosuid

cgroup in general is moving towards using cgroup_subsys_state as the
fundamental structural component and css_parent() was introduced to
convert from using cgroup->parent to css->parent. It was quite some
time ago and we're moving forward with making css more prominent.
This patch drops the trivial wrapper css_parent() and let the users
dereference css->parent. While at it, explicitly mark fields of css

Convert all cftype->write_string() users to the new cftype->write()
which maps directly to kernfs write operation and has full access to
kernfs and cgroup contexts. The conversions are mostly mechanical.
* @css and @cft are accessed using of_css() and of_cft() accessors
respectively instead of being specified as arguments.
* Should return @nbytes on success instead of 0.
* @buf is not trimmed automatically. Trim if necessary. Note that
blkcg and netprio don't need this as the parsers already handle
whitespaces.
cftype->write_string() has no user left after the conversions and
removed.
While at it, remove unnecessary local variable @p in
cgroup_subtree_control_write() and stale comment about
CGROUP_LOCAL_BUFFER_SIZE in cgroup_freezer.c.
This patch doesn't introduce any visible behavior changes.
v2: netprio was missing from conversion. Converted.

[PATCH v3 1/2] device_cgroup: check if exception removal is allowed
When the device cgroup hierarchy was introduced in
bd2953ebbb53 - devcg: propagate local changes down the hierarchy
a specific case was overlooked. Consider the hierarchy bellow:
A default policy: ALLOW, exceptions will deny access
\
B default policy: ALLOW, exceptions will deny access
There's no need to verify when an new exception is added to B because
in this case exceptions will deny access to further devices, which is
always fine. Hierarchy in device cgroup only makes sure B won't have
more access than A.
But when an exception is removed (by writing devices.allow), it isn't
checked if the user is in fact removing an inherited exception from A,
thus giving more access to B.
Example:
# echo 'a' >A/devices.allow
# echo 'c 1:3 rw' >A/devices.deny
# echo $$ >A/B/tasks
# echo >/dev/null
-bash: /dev/null: Operation not permitted
# echo 'c 1:3 w' >A/B/devices.allow
# echo >/dev/null
#
This shouldn't be allowed and this patch fixes it by making sure to never allow
exceptions in this case to be removed if the exception is partially or fully
present on the parent.
v3: missing '*' in function description
v2: improved log message and formatting fixes

Smack believes that many of the operatons that can
be performed on an open file descriptor are read operations.
The fstat and lseek system calls are examples.
An implication of this is that files shouldn't be open
if the task doesn't have read access even if it has
write access and the file is being opened write only.

File-private locks have been merged into Linux for v3.15, and *now*
people are commenting that the name and macro definitions for the new
file-private locks suck.
...and I can't even disagree. The names and command macros do suck.
We're going to have to live with these for a long time, so it's
important that we be happy with the names before we're stuck with them.
The consensus on the lists so far is that they should be rechristened as
"open file description locks".
The name isn't a big deal for the kernel, but the command macros are not
visually distinct enough from the traditional POSIX lock macros. The
glibc and documentation folks are recommending that we change them to
look like F_OFD_{GETLK|SETLK|SETLKW}. That lessens the chance that a
programmer will typo one of the commands wrong, and also makes it easier
to spot this difference when reading code.
This patch makes the following changes that I think are necessary before
v3.15 ships:
1) rename the command macros to their new names. These end up in the uapi
headers and so are part of the external-facing API. It turns out that
glibc doesn't actually use the fcntl.h uapi header, but it's hard to
be sure that something else won't. Changing it now is safest.
2) make the the /proc/locks output display these as type "OFDLCK"

Whenever a device file is opened and checked against current device
cgroup rules, it uses the same function (may_access()) as when a new
exception rule is added by writing devices.{allow,deny}. And in both
cases, the algorithm is the same, doesn't matter the behavior.
First problem is having device access to be considered the same as rule
checking. Consider the following structure:
A (default behavior: allow, exceptions disallow access)
\
B (default behavior: allow, exceptions disallow access)
A new exception is added to B by writing devices.deny:
c 12:34 rw
When checking if that exception is allowed in may_access():
if (dev_cgroup->behavior == DEVCG_DEFAULT_ALLOW) {
if (behavior == DEVCG_DEFAULT_ALLOW) {
/* the exception will deny access to certain devices */
return true;
Which is ok, since B is not getting more privileges than A, it doesn't
matter and the rule is accepted
Now, consider it's a device file open check and the process belongs to
cgroup B. The access will be generated as:
behavior: allow
exception: c 12:34 rw
The very same chunk of code will allow it, even if there's an explicit
exception telling to do otherwise.
A simple test case:
# mkdir new_group
# cd new_group
# echo $$ >tasks
# echo "c 1:3 w" >devices.deny
# echo >/dev/null
# echo $?
0
This is a serious bug and was introduced on
c39a2a3018f8 devcg: prepare may_access() for hierarchy support
To solve this problem, the device file open function was split from the
new exception check.
Second problem is how exceptions are processed by may_access(). The
first part of the said function tries to match fully with an existing
exception:
list_for_each_entry_rcu(ex, &dev_cgroup->exceptions, list) {
if ((refex->type & DEV_BLOCK) && !(ex->type & DEV_BLOCK))
continue;
if ((refex->type & DEV_CHAR) && !(ex->type & DEV_CHAR))
continue;
if (ex->major != ~0 && ex->major != refex->major)
continue;
if (ex->minor != ~0 && ex->minor != refex->minor)
continue;
if (refex->access & (~ex->access))
continue;
match = true;
break;
}
That means the new exception should be contained into an existing one to
be considered a match:
New exception Existing match? notes
b 12:34 rwm b 12:34 rwm yes
b 12:34 r b *:34 rw yes
b 12:34 rw b 12:34 w no extra "r"
b *:34 rw b 12:34 rw no too broad "*"
b *:34 rw b *:34 rwm yes
Which is fine in some cases. Consider:
A (default behavior: deny, exceptions allow access)
\
B (default behavior: deny, exceptions allow access)
In this case the full match makes sense, the new exception cannot add
more access than the parent allows
But this doesn't always work, consider:
A (default behavior: allow, exceptions disallow access)
\
B (default behavior: deny, exceptions allow access)
In this case, a new exception in B shouldn't match any of the exceptions
in A, after all you can't allow something that was forbidden by A. But
consider this scenario:
New exception Existing in A match? outcome
b 12:34 rw b 12:34 r no exception is accepted
Because the new exception has "w" as extra, it doesn't match, so it'll
be added to B's exception list.
The same problem can happen during a file access check. Consider a
cgroup with allow as default behavior:
Access Exception match?
b 12:34 rw b 12:34 r no
In this case, the access didn't match any of the exceptions in the
cgroup, which is required since exceptions will disallow access.
To solve this problem, two new functions were created to match an
exception either fully or partially. In the example above, a partial
check will be performed and it'll produce a match since at least
"b 12:34 r" from "b 12:34 rw" access matches.

to the receiver. UDS streams don't do per-packet checks. The
only check is done at connect time. The existing code checks
if the connecting process can write to the other, but not the
other way around. This change adds a check that the other end
can write to the connecting process.

Sam Henderson points out that removing the SMACK64TRANSMUTE
attribute from a directory does not result in the directory
transmuting. This is because the inode flag indicating that
the directory is transmuting isn't cleared. The fix is a tad
less than trivial because smk_task and smk_mmap should have
been broken out, too.

The function `smack_inode_post_setxattr` is called each
time that a setxattr is done, for any value of name.
The kernel allow to put value==NULL when size==0
to set an empty attribute value. The systematic
call to smk_import_entry was causing the dereference
of a NULL pointer hence a KERNEL PANIC!
The problem can be produced easily by issuing the
command `setfattr -n user.data file` under bash prompt
when SMACK is active.
Moving the call to smk_import_entry as proposed by this
patch is correcting the behaviour because the function
smack_inode_post_setxattr is called for the SMACK's
attributes only if the function smack_inode_setxattr validated
the value and its size (what will not be the case when size==0).
It also has a benefical effect to not fill the smack hash
with garbage values coming from any extended attribute
write.

1. In order to remove any SMACK extended attribute from a file, a user
should have CAP_MAC_ADMIN capability. But user without having this
capability is able to remove SMACK64MMAP security attribute.
2. While validating size and value of smack extended attribute in
smack_inode_setsecurity hook, wrong error code is returned.

The decision whether we can trace a process is made in the following
functions:
smack_ptrace_traceme()
smack_ptrace_access_check()
smack_bprm_set_creds() (in case the proces is traced)
This patch unifies all those decisions by introducing one function that
checks whether ptrace is allowed: smk_ptrace_rule_check().
This makes possible to actually trace with TRACEME where first the
TRACEME itself must be allowed and then exec() on a traced process.
Additional bugs fixed:
- The decision is made according to the mode parameter that is now correctly
translated from PTRACE_MODE_* to MAY_* instead of being treated 1:1.
PTRACE_MODE_READ requires MAY_READ.
PTRACE_MODE_ATTACH requires MAY_READWRITE.
- Add a smack audit log in case of exec() refused by bprm_set_creds().
- Honor the PTRACE_MODE_NOAUDIT flag and don't put smack audit info
in case this flag is set.

Pull cgroup updates from Tejun Heo:
"A lot updates for cgroup:
- The biggest one is cgroup's conversion to kernfs. cgroup took
after the long abandoned vfs-entangled sysfs implementation and
made it even more convoluted over time. cgroup's internal objects
were fused with vfs objects which also brought in vfs locking and
object lifetime rules. Naturally, there are places where vfs rules
don't fit and nasty hacks, such as credential switching or lock
dance interleaving inode mutex and cgroup_mutex with object serial
number comparison thrown in to decide whether the operation is
actually necessary, needed to be employed.
After conversion to kernfs, internal object lifetime and locking
rules are mostly isolated from vfs interactions allowing shedding
of several nasty hacks and overall simplification. This will also
allow implmentation of operations which may affect multiple cgroups
which weren't possible before as it would have required nesting
i_mutexes.
- Various simplifications including dropping of module support,
easier cgroup name/path handling, simplified cgroup file type
handling and task_cg_lists optimization.
- Prepatory changes for the planned unified hierarchy, which is still
a patchset away from being actually operational. The dummy
hierarchy is updated to serve as the default unified hierarchy.
Controllers which aren't claimed by other hierarchies are
associated with it, which BTW was what the dummy hierarchy was for
anyway.
- Various fixes from Li and others. This pull request includes some
patches to add missing slab.h to various subsystems. This was
triggered xattr.h include removal from cgroup.h. cgroup.h
indirectly got included a lot of files which brought in xattr.h

Pull s390 compat wrapper rework from Heiko Carstens:
"S390 compat system call wrapper simplification work.
The intention of this work is to get rid of all hand written assembly
compat system call wrappers on s390, which perform proper sign or zero
extension, or pointer conversion of compat system call parameters.
Instead all of this should be done with C code eg by using Al's
COMPAT_SYSCALL_DEFINEx() macro.
Therefore all common code and s390 specific compat system calls have
been converted to the COMPAT_SYSCALL_DEFINEx() macro.
In order to generate correct code all compat system calls may only
have eg compat_ulong_t parameters, but no unsigned long parameters.
Those patches which change parameter types from unsigned long to
compat_ulong_t parameters are separate in this series, but shouldn't
cause any harm.
The only compat system calls which intentionally have 64 bit
parameters (preadv64 and pwritev64) in support of the x86/32 ABI
haven't been changed, but are now only available if an architecture
defines __ARCH_WANT_COMPAT_SYS_PREADV64/PWRITEV64.
System calls which do not have a compat variant but still need proper
zero extension on s390, like eg "long sys_brk(unsigned long brk)" will
get a proper wrapper function with the new s390 specific
COMPAT_SYSCALL_WRAPx() macro:
COMPAT_SYSCALL_WRAP1(brk, unsigned long, brk);
which generates the following code (simplified):
asmlinkage long sys_brk(unsigned long brk);
asmlinkage long compat_sys_brk(long brk)
{
return sys_brk((u32)brk);
}
Given that the C file which contains all the COMPAT_SYSCALL_WRAP lines
includes both linux/syscall.h and linux/compat.h, it will generate
build errors, if the declaration of sys_brk() doesn't match, or if
there exists a non-matching compat_sys_brk() declaration.
In addition this will intentionally result in a link error if
somewhere else a compat_sys_brk() function exists, which probably
should have been used instead. Two more BUILD_BUG_ONs make sure the
size and type of each compat syscall parameter can be handled
correctly with the s390 specific macros.
I converted the compat system calls step by step to verify the
generated code is correct and matches the previous code. In fact it
did not always match, however that was always a bug in the hand
written asm code.
In result we get less code, less bugs, and much more sanity checking"

Due to some unfortunate history, POSIX locks have very strange and
unhelpful semantics. The thing that usually catches people by surprise
is that they are dropped whenever the process closes any file descriptor
associated with the inode.
This is extremely problematic for people developing file servers that
need to implement byte-range locks. Developers often need a "lock
management" facility to ensure that file descriptors are not closed
until all of the locks associated with the inode are finished.
Additionally, "classic" POSIX locks are owned by the process. Locks
taken between threads within the same process won't conflict with one
another, which renders them useless for synchronization between threads.
This patchset adds a new type of lock that attempts to address these
issues. These locks conflict with classic POSIX read/write locks, but
have semantics that are more like BSD locks with respect to inheritance
and behavior on close.
This is implemented primarily by changing how fl_owner field is set for
these locks. Instead of having them owned by the files_struct of the
process, they are instead owned by the filp on which they were acquired.
Thus, they are inherited across fork() and are only released when the
last reference to a filp is put.
These new semantics prevent them from being merged with classic POSIX
locks, even if they are acquired by the same process. These locks will
also conflict with classic POSIX locks even if they are acquired by
the same process or on the same file descriptor.
The new locks are managed using a new set of cmd values to the fcntl()
syscall. The initial implementation of this converts these values to
"classic" cmd values at a fairly high level, and the details are not
exposed to the underlying filesystem. We may eventually want to push
this handing out to the lower filesystem code but for now I don't
see any need for it.
Also, note that with this implementation the new cmd values are only
available via fcntl64() on 32-bit arches. There's little need to
add support for legacy apps on a new interface like this.

This patch is based on an earlier patch by Eric Paris, he describes
the problem below:
"If an inode is accessed before policy load it will get placed on a
list of inodes to be initialized after policy load. After policy
load we call inode_doinit() which calls inode_doinit_with_dentry()
on all inodes accessed before policy load. In the case of inodes
in procfs that means we'll end up at the bottom where it does:
/* Default to the fs superblock SID. */
isec->sid = sbsec->sid;
if ((sbsec->flags & SE_SBPROC) && !S_ISLNK(inode->i_mode)) {
if (opt_dentry) {
isec->sclass = inode_mode_to_security_class(...)
rc = selinux_proc_get_sid(opt_dentry,
isec->sclass,
&sid);
if (rc)
goto out_unlock;
isec->sid = sid;
}
}
Since opt_dentry is null, we'll never call selinux_proc_get_sid()
and will leave the inode labeled with the label on the superblock.
I believe a fix would be to mimic the behavior of xattrs. Look
for an alias of the inode. If it can't be found, just leave the
inode uninitialized (and pick it up later) if it can be found, we
should be able to call selinux_proc_get_sid() ..."
On a system exhibiting this problem, you will notice a lot of files in
/proc with the generic "proc_t" type (at least the ones that were
accessed early in the boot), for example:
# ls -Z /proc/sys/kernel/shmmax | awk '{ print $4 " " $5 }'
system_u:object_r:proc_t:s0 /proc/sys/kernel/shmmax
However, with this patch in place we see the expected result:
# ls -Z /proc/sys/kernel/shmmax | awk '{ print $4 " " $5 }'
system_u:object_r:sysctl_kernel_t:s0 /proc/sys/kernel/shmmax

It turns out that doing the SELinux MAC checks for mmap() before the
DAC checks was causing users and the SELinux policy folks headaches
as users were seeing a lot of SELinux AVC denials for the
memprotect:mmap_zero permission that would have also been denied by
the normal DAC capability checks (CAP_SYS_RAWIO).
Example:
# cat mmap_test.c
#include <stdlib.h>
#include <stdio.h>
#include <errno.h>
#include <sys/mman.h>
int main(int argc, char *argv[])
{
int rc;
void *mem;
mem = mmap(0x0, 4096,
PROT_READ | PROT_WRITE,
MAP_PRIVATE | MAP_ANONYMOUS | MAP_FIXED, -1, 0);
if (mem == MAP_FAILED)
return errno;
printf("mem = %p\n", mem);
munmap(mem, 4096);
return 0;
}
# gcc -g -O0 -o mmap_test mmap_test.c
# ./mmap_test
mem = (nil)
# ausearch -m AVC | grep mmap_zero
type=AVC msg=audit(...): avc: denied { mmap_zero }
for pid=1025 comm="mmap_test"
scontext=unconfined_u:unconfined_r:unconfined_t:s0-s0:c0.c1023
tcontext=unconfined_u:unconfined_r:unconfined_t:s0-s0:c0.c1023
tclass=memprotect
This patch corrects things so that when the above example is run by a
user without CAP_SYS_RAWIO the SELinux AVC is no longer generated as
the DAC capability check fails before the SELinux permission check.
