      nfsd4: recheck for secure ports in fh_verify · 6fa02839
      J. Bruce Fields 提交于
      As with commit 7fc90ec9 ("knfsd: nfsd:
      call nfsd_setuser() on fh_compose(), fix nfsd4 permissions problem")
      this is a case where we need to redo a security check in fh_verify()
      even though the filehandle already has an associated dentry--if the
      filehandle was created by fh_compose() in an earlier operation of the
      nfsv4 compound, then we may not have done these checks yet.
      
      Without this fix it is possible, for example, to traverse from an export
      without the secure ports requirement to one with it in a single
      compound, and bypass the secure port check on the new export.
      
      While we're here, fix up some minor style problems and change a printk()
      to a dprintk(), to make it harder for random unprivileged users to spam
      the logs.

      knfsd: fix spurious EINVAL errors on first access of new filesystem · ac8587dc
      J. Bruce Fields 提交于
      The v2/v3 acl code in nfsd is translating any return from fh_verify() to
      nfserr_inval.  This is particularly unfortunate in the case of an
      nfserr_dropit return, which is an internal error meant to indicate to
      callers that this request has been deferred and should just be dropped
      pending the results of an upcall to mountd.

      Revert "Bias the placement of kernel pages at lower PFNs" · 44048d70
      Linus Torvalds 提交于
      This reverts commit 5adc5be7.
      
      Alexey Dobriyan reports that it causes huge slowdowns under some loads,
      in his case a "mkfs.ext2" on a 30G partition.  With the placement bias,
      the mkfs took over four minutes, with it reverted it's back to about ten
      seconds for Alexey.

      x86: fix taking DNA during 64bit sigreturn · 92d140e2
      Siddha, Suresh B 提交于
      restore sigcontext is taking a DNA exception while restoring FP context
      from the user stack, during the sigreturn.  Appended patch fixes it by
      doing clts() if the app doesn't touch FP during the signal handler
      execution.  This will stop generating a DNA, during the fxrstor in the
      sigreturn.
      
      This improves 64-bit lat_sig numbers by ~30% on my core2 platform.

      core dump: remain dumpable · 00ec99da
      Roland McGrath 提交于
      The coredump code always calls set_dumpable(0) when it starts (even
      if RLIMIT_CORE prevents any core from being dumped).  The effect of
      this (via task_dumpable) is to make /proc/pid/* files owned by root
      instead of the user, so the user can no longer examine his own
      process--in a case where there was never any privileged data to
      protect.  This affects e.g. auxv, environ, fd; in Fedora (execshield)
      kernels, also maps.  In practice, you can only notice this when a
      debugger has requested PTRACE_EVENT_EXIT tracing.
      
      set_dumpable was only used in do_coredump for synchronization and not
      intended for any security purpose.  (It doesn't secure anything that wasn't
      already unsecured when a process dies by SIGTERM instead of SIGQUIT.)
      
      This changes do_coredump to check the core_waiters count as the means of
      synchronization, which is sufficient.  Now we leave the "dumpable" bits alone.
