      [PATCH] error path in setup_arg_pages() misses vm_unacct_memory() · 2fd4ef85
      Hugh Dickins 提交于
      Pavel Emelianov and Kirill Korotaev observe that fs and arch users of
      security_vm_enough_memory tend to forget to vm_unacct_memory when a
      failure occurs further down (typically in setup_arg_pages variants).
      
      These are all users of insert_vm_struct, and that reservation will only
      be unaccounted on exit if the vma is marked VM_ACCOUNT: which in some
      cases it is (hidden inside VM_STACK_FLAGS) and in some cases it isn't.
      
      So x86_64 32-bit and ppc64 vDSO ELFs have been leaking memory into
      Committed_AS each time they're run.  But don't add VM_ACCOUNT to them,
      it's inappropriate to reserve against the very unlikely case that gdb
      be used to COW a vDSO page - we ought to do something about that in
      do_wp_page, but there are yet other inconsistencies to be resolved.
      
      The safe and economical way to fix this is to let insert_vm_struct do
      the security_vm_enough_memory check when it finds VM_ACCOUNT is set.
      
      And the MIPS irix_brk has been calling security_vm_enough_memory before
      calling do_brk which repeats it, doubly accounting and so also leaking.
      Remove that, and all the fs and arch calls to security_vm_enough_memory:
      give it a less misleading name later on.

      [PATCH] convert signal handling of NODEFER to act like other Unix boxes. · 69be8f18
      Steven Rostedt 提交于
      It has been reported that the way Linux handles NODEFER for signals is
      not consistent with the way other Unix boxes handle it.  I've written a
      program to test the behavior of how this flag affects signals and had
      several reports from people who ran this on various Unix boxes,
      confirming that Linux seems to be unique on the way this is handled.
      
      The way NODEFER affects signals on other Unix boxes is as follows:
      
      1) If NODEFER is set, other signals in sa_mask are still blocked.
      
      2) If NODEFER is set and the signal is in sa_mask, then the signal is
      still blocked. (Note: this is the behavior of all tested but Linux _and_
      NetBSD 2.0 *).
      
      The way NODEFER affects signals on Linux:
      
      1) If NODEFER is set, other signals are _not_ blocked regardless of
      sa_mask (Even NetBSD doesn't do this).
      
      2) If NODEFER is set and the signal is in sa_mask, then the signal being
      handled is not blocked.
      
      The patch converts signal handling in all current Linux architectures to
      the way most Unix boxes work.
      
      Unix boxes that were tested:  DU4, AIX 5.2, Irix 6.5, NetBSD 2.0, SFU
      3.5 on WinXP, AIX 5.3, Mac OSX, and of course Linux 2.6.13-rcX.
      
      * NetBSD was the only other Unix to behave like Linux on point #2. The
      main concern was brought up by point #1 which even NetBSD isn't like
      Linux.  So with this patch, we leave NetBSD as the lonely one that
      behaves differently here with #2.
