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.

The driver_override field allows us to specify the driver for a device rather than relying on the driver to provide a positive match of the device. This shortcuts the existing process of looking up the vendor and device ID, adding them to the driver new_id, binding the device, then removing the ID, but it also provides a couple advantages. First, the above existing process allows the driver to bind to any device matching the new_id for the window where it's enabled. This is often not desired, such as the case of trying to bind a single device to a meta driver like pci-stub or vfio-pci. Using driver_override we can do this deterministically using: echo pci-stub > /sys/bus/pci/devices/0000:03:00.0/driver_override echo 0000:03:00.0 > /sys/bus/pci/devices/0000:03:00.0/driver/unbind echo 0000:03:00.0 > /sys/bus/pci/drivers_probe Previously we could not invoke drivers_probe after adding a device to new_id for a driver as we get non-deterministic behavior whether the driver we intend or the standard driver will claim the device. Now it becomes a deterministic process, only the driver matching driver_override will probe the device. To return the device to the standard driver, we simply clear the driver_override and reprobe the device: echo > /sys/bus/pci/devices/0000:03:00.0/driver_override echo 0000:03:00.0 > /sys/bus/pci/devices/0000:03:00.0/driver/unbind echo 0000:03:00.0 > /sys/bus/pci/drivers_probe Another advantage to this approach is that we can specify a driver override to force a specific binding or prevent any binding. For instance when an IOMMU group is exposed to userspace through VFIO we require that all devices within that group are owned by VFIO. However, devices can be hot-added into an IOMMU group, in which case we want to prevent the device from binding to any driver (override driver = "none") or perhaps have it automatically bind to vfio-pci. With driver_override it's a simple matter for this field to be set internally when the device is first discovered to prevent driver matches.

On some systems the platform doesn't support neither PM_SUSPEND_MEM nor PM_SUSPEND_STANDBY, so PM_SUSPEND_FREEZE is the only available system sleep state. However, some user space frameworks only use the "mem" and (sometimes) "standby" sleep state labels, so the users of those systems need to modify user space in order to be able to use system suspend at all and that is not always possible. For this reason, add a new kernel command line argument, relative_sleep_states, allowing the users of those systems to change the way in which the kernel assigns labels to system sleep states. Namely, for relative_sleep_states=1, the "mem", "standby" and "freeze" labels will enumerate the available system sleem states from the deepest to the shallowest, respectively, so that "mem" is always present in /sys/power/state and the other state strings may or may not be presend depending on what is supported by the platform. Update system sleep states documentation to reflect this change. Signed-off-by: NRafael J. Wysocki <rafael.j.wysocki@intel.com>

Add handling of OS Extended Properties descriptors from configfs interface. One kind of "OS Descriptors" are "Extended Properties" descriptors, which need to be specified per interface or per group of interfaces described by an IAD. This patch adds support for creating subdirectories in interface.<n> directory located in the function's directory. Names of subdirectories created become names of properties. Each property contains two attributes: "type" and "data". The type can be a numeric value 1..7 while data is a blob interpreted depending on the type specified. The types are: 1 - unicode string 2 - unicode string with environment variables 3 - binary 4 - little-endian 32-bit 5 - big-endian 32-bit 6 - unicode string with a symbolic link 7 - multiple unicode strings Signed-off-by: NAndrzej Pietrasiewicz <andrzej.p@samsung.com> Signed-off-by: NFelipe Balbi <balbi@ti.com>

Add handling of OS Extended Compatibility descriptors from configfs interface. Hosts which expect the "OS Descriptors" ask only for configurations @ index 0, but linux-based USB devices can provide more than one configuration. This patch adds marking one of gadget's configurations the configuration to be reported at index 0, regardless of the actual sequence of usb_add_config invocations used for adding the configurations. The configuration is selected by creating a symbolic link pointing to it from the "os_desc" directory located at the top of a gadget's directory hierarchy. One kind of "OS Descriptors" are "Extended Compatibility Descriptors", which need to be specified per interface. This patch adds interface.<n> directory in function's configfs directory to represent each interface defined by the function. Each interface's directory contains two attributes: "compatible_id" and "sub_compatible_id", which represent 8-byte strings to be reported to the host as the "Compatible ID" and "Sub Compatible ID".

由 Vivien Didelot 提交于
This patch refactors the way the thingm driver registers a blink(1) LED. In order to make the driver simpler and more standard, drop the "rgb" sysfs attribute and create one instance of LED class per RGB channel. Actually, the name of the LED class instance registered for a blink(1) device is "blink1::ABCD", where ABCD is the last 4 chars of the serial number. The driver now registers 3 instances per RGB chip, named "thingmX:{red,green,blue}:ledY" where X is the hidraw minor number and Y is the RGB chip number (as seen by the firmware). This patch also uses work queues to defer calls with the device, which now allows triggers to work as expected with this LED device. Also remove the brightness structure field and the brightness_get backend, as it is already handled by the LED class, and changes the prefix of functions and structures to thingm_ to match the driver name.

由 Sergey Senozhatsky 提交于
Existing zram (zcomp) implementation has only one compression stream (buffer and algorithm private part), so in order to prevent data corruption only one write (compress operation) can use this compression stream, forcing all concurrent write operations to wait for stream lock to be released. This patch changes zcomp to keep a compression streams list of user-defined size (via sysfs device attr). Each write operation still exclusively holds compression stream, the difference is that we can have N write operations (depending on size of streams list) executing in parallel. See TEST section later in commit message for performance data. Introduce struct zcomp_strm_multi and a set of functions to manage zcomp_strm stream access. zcomp_strm_multi has a list of idle zcomp_strm structs, spinlock to protect idle list and wait queue, making it possible to perform parallel compressions. The following set of functions added: - zcomp_strm_multi_find()/zcomp_strm_multi_release() find and release a compression stream, implement required locking - zcomp_strm_multi_create()/zcomp_strm_multi_destroy() create and destroy zcomp_strm_multi zcomp ->strm_find() and ->strm_release() callbacks are set during initialisation to zcomp_strm_multi_find()/zcomp_strm_multi_release() correspondingly. Each time zcomp issues a zcomp_strm_multi_find() call, the following set of operations performed: - spin lock strm_lock - if idle list is not empty, remove zcomp_strm from idle list, spin unlock and return zcomp stream pointer to caller - if idle list is empty, current adds itself to wait queue. it will be awaken by zcomp_strm_multi_release() caller. zcomp_strm_multi_release(): - spin lock strm_lock - add zcomp stream to idle list - spin unlock, wake up sleeper Minchan Kim reported that spinlock-based locking scheme has demonstrated a severe perfomance regression for single compression stream case, comparing to mutex-based (see https://lkml.org/lkml/2014/2/18/16) base spinlock mutex ==Initial write ==Initial write ==Initial write records: 5 records: 5 records: 5 avg: 1642424.35 avg: 699610.40 avg: 1655583.71 std: 39890.95(2.43%) std: 232014.19(33.16%) std: 52293.96 max: 1690170.94 max: 1163473.45 max: 1697164.75 min: 1568669.52 min: 573429.88 min: 1553410.23 ==Rewrite ==Rewrite ==Rewrite records: 5 records: 5 records: 5 avg: 1611775.39 avg: 501406.64 avg: 1684419.11 std: 17144.58(1.06%) std: 15354.41(3.06%) std: 18367.42 max: 1641800.95 max: 531356.78 max: 1706445.84 min: 1593515.27 min: 488817.78 min: 1655335.73 When only one compression stream available, mutex with spin on owner tends to perform much better than frequent wait_event()/wake_up(). This is why single stream implemented as a special case with mutex locking. Introduce and document zram device attribute max_comp_streams. This attr shows and stores current zcomp's max number of zcomp streams (max_strm). Extend zcomp's zcomp_create() with `max_strm' parameter. `max_strm' limits the number of zcomp_strm structs in compression backend's idle list (max_comp_streams). max_comp_streams used during initialisation as follows: -- passing to zcomp_create() max_strm equals to 1 will initialise zcomp using single compression stream zcomp_strm_single (mutex-based locking). -- passing to zcomp_create() max_strm greater than 1 will initialise zcomp using multi compression stream zcomp_strm_multi (spinlock-based locking). default max_comp_streams value is 1, meaning that zram with single stream will be initialised. Later patch will introduce configuration knob to change max_comp_streams on already initialised and used zcomp.

This patch introduces ram_thresh, a sysfs entry, which controls the memory footprint used by the free nid list and the nat cache. Previously, the free nid list was controlled by MAX_FREE_NIDS, while the nat cache was managed by NM_WOUT_THRESHOLD. However, this approach cannot be applied dynamically according to the system. So, this patch adds ram_thresh that users can specify the threshold, which is in order of 1 / 1024. For example, if the total ram size is 4GB and the value is set to 10 by default, f2fs tries to control the number of free nids and nat caches not to consume over 10 * (4GB / 1024) = 10MB.

Users have reported being unable to trace non-signed modules loaded within a kernel supporting module signature. This is caused by tracepoint.c:tracepoint_module_coming() refusing to take into account tracepoints sitting within force-loaded modules (TAINT_FORCED_MODULE). The reason for this check, in the first place, is that a force-loaded module may have a struct module incompatible with the layout expected by the kernel, and can thus cause a kernel crash upon forced load of that module on a kernel with CONFIG_TRACEPOINTS=y. Tracepoints, however, specifically accept TAINT_OOT_MODULE and TAINT_CRAP, since those modules do not lead to the "very likely system crash" issue cited above for force-loaded modules. With kernels having CONFIG_MODULE_SIG=y (signed modules), a non-signed module is tainted re-using the TAINT_FORCED_MODULE taint flag. Unfortunately, this means that Tracepoints treat that module as a force-loaded module, and thus silently refuse to consider any tracepoint within this module. Since an unsigned module does not fit within the "very likely system crash" category of tainting, add a new TAINT_UNSIGNED_MODULE taint flag to specifically address this taint behavior, and accept those modules within Tracepoints. We use the letter 'X' as a taint flag character for a module being loaded that doesn't know how to sign its name (proposed by Steven Rostedt). Also add the missing 'O' entry to trace event show_module_flags() list for the sake of completeness.
