      capabilities/syslog: open code cap_syslog logic to fix build failure · 12b3052c
      Eric Paris 提交于
      The addition of CONFIG_SECURITY_DMESG_RESTRICT resulted in a build
      failure when CONFIG_PRINTK=n.  This is because the capabilities code
      which used the new option was built even though the variable in question
      didn't exist.
      
      The patch here fixes this by moving the capabilities checks out of the
      LSM and into the caller.  All (known) LSMs should have been calling the
      capabilities hook already so it actually makes the code organization
      better to eliminate the hook altogether.

      Jean Delvare 提交于
      Delete unused I2C adapter IDs. Special cases are:
      
      * I2C_HW_B_RIVA was still set in driver rivafb, however no other
        driver is ever looking for this value, so we can safely remove it.
      * I2C_HW_B_HDPVR is used in staging driver lirc_zilog, however no
        adapter ID is ever set to this value, so the code in question never
        runs. As the code additionally expects that I2C_HW_B_HDPVR may not

        maintainer rewrite this piece of code.

      net: rtnetlink.h -- only include linux/netdevice.h when used by the kernel · 3b42a96d
      Andy Whitcroft 提交于
      The commit below added a new helper dev_ingress_queue to cleanly obtain the
      ingress queue pointer.  This necessitated including 'linux/netdevice.h':
      
        commit 24824a09

          net: dynamic ingress_queue allocation
      
      However this include triggers issues for applications in userspace
      which use the rtnetlink interfaces.  Commonly this requires they include
      'net/if.h' and 'linux/rtnetlink.h' leading to a compiler error as below:
      
        In file included from /usr/include/linux/netdevice.h:28:0,

      backlight: add low threshold to pwm backlight · fef7764f
      Arun Murthy 提交于
      The intensity of the backlight can be varied from a range of
      max_brightness to zero.  Though most, if not all the pwm based backlight
      devices start flickering at lower brightness value.  And also for each
      device there exists a brightness value below which the backlight appears
      to be turned off though the value is not equal to zero.
      
      If the range of brightness for a device is from zero to max_brightness.  A
      graph is plotted for brightness Vs intensity for the pwm based backlight
      device has to be a linear graph.
      
      intensity
      	  |   /
      	  |  /
      	  | /
      	  |/
      	  ---------
      	 0	max_brightness
      
      But pratically on measuring the above we note that the intensity of
      backlight goes to zero(OFF) when the value in not zero almost nearing to
      zero(some x%).  so the graph looks like
      
      intensity
      	  |    /
      	  |   /
      	  |  /
      	  |  |
      	  ------------
      	 0   x	 max_brightness
      
      In order to overcome this drawback knowing this x% i.e nothing but the low
      threshold beyond which the backlight is off and will have no effect, the
      brightness value is being offset by the low threshold value(retaining the
      linearity of the graph).  Now the graph becomes
      
      intensity
      	  |     /
      	  |    /
      	  |   /
      	  |  /
      	  -------------
      	   0	  max_brightness
      
      With this for each and every digit increment in the brightness from zero
      there is a change in the intensity of backlight.  Devices having this
      behaviour can set the low threshold brightness(lth_brightness) and pass
      the same as platform data else can have it as zero.

      led-class: always implement blinking · 5ada28bf
      Johannes Berg 提交于
      Currently, blinking LEDs can be awkward because it is not guaranteed that
      all LEDs implement blinking.  The trigger that wants it to blink then
      needs to implement its own timer solution.
      
      Rather than require that, add led_blink_set() API that triggers can use.
      This function will attempt to use hw blinking, but if that fails
      implements a timer for it.  To stop blinking again, brightness_set() also
      needs to be wrapped into API that will stop the software blink.
      
      As a result of this, the timer trigger becomes a very trivial one, and
      hopefully we can finally see triggers using blinking as well because it's
      always easy to use.

      radix-tree: fix RCU bug · 27d20fdd
      Nick Piggin 提交于
      Salman Qazi describes the following radix-tree bug:
      
      In the following case, we get can get a deadlock:
      
      0.  The radix tree contains two items, one has the index 0.
      1.  The reader (in this case find_get_pages) takes the rcu_read_lock.
      2.  The reader acquires slot(s) for item(s) including the index 0 item.
      3.  The non-zero index item is deleted, and as a consequence the other item is
          moved to the root of the tree. The place where it used to be is queued for
          deletion after the readers finish.
      3b. The zero item is deleted, removing it from the direct slot, it remains in
          the rcu-delayed indirect node.
      4.  The reader looks at the index 0 slot, and finds that the page has 0 ref
          count
      5.  The reader looks at it again, hoping that the item will either be freed or
          the ref count will increase. This never happens, as the slot it is looking
          at will never be updated. Also, this slot can never be reclaimed because
          the reader is holding rcu_read_lock and is in an infinite loop.
      
      The fix is to re-use the same "indirect" pointer case that requires a slot
      lookup retry into a general "retry the lookup" bit.

      Restrict unprivileged access to kernel syslog · eaf06b24
      Dan Rosenberg 提交于
      The kernel syslog contains debugging information that is often useful
      during exploitation of other vulnerabilities, such as kernel heap
      addresses.  Rather than futilely attempt to sanitize hundreds (or
      thousands) of printk statements and simultaneously cripple useful
      debugging functionality, it is far simpler to create an option that
      prevents unprivileged users from reading the syslog.
      
      This patch, loosely based on grsecurity's GRKERNSEC_DMESG, creates the
      dmesg_restrict sysctl.  When set to "0", the default, no restrictions are
      enforced.  When set to "1", only users with CAP_SYS_ADMIN can read the
      kernel syslog via dmesg(8) or other mechanisms.

      Eric Dumazet 提交于
      Followup of perf tools session in Netfilter WorkShop 2010
      
      In the network stack we make high usage of atomic_inc_not_zero() in
      contexts we know the probable value of atomic before increment (2 for udp
      sockets for example)
      
      Using a special version of atomic_inc_not_zero() giving this hint can help
      processor to use less bus transactions.
      
      On x86 (MESI protocol) for example, this avoids entering Shared state,
      because "lock cmpxchg" issues an RFO (Read For Ownership)
      
      akpm: Adds a new include/linux/atomic.h.  This means that new code should
      henceforth include linux/atomic.h and not asm/atomic.h.  The presence of
      include/linux/atomic.h will in fact cause checkpatch.pl to warn about use
      of asm/atomic.h.  The new include/linux/atomic.h becomes the place where
      arch-neutral atomic_t code should be placed.

      netfilter: NF_HOOK_COND has wrong conditional · ac5aa2e3
      Eric Paris 提交于
      The NF_HOOK_COND returns 0 when it shouldn't due to what I believe to be an
      error in the code as the order of operations is not what was intended.  C will
      evalutate == before =.  Which means ret is getting set to the bool result,
      rather than the return value of the function call.  The code says
      
      if (ret = function() == 1)
      when it meant to say:
      if ((ret = function()) == 1)
      
      Normally the compiler would warn, but it doesn't notice it because its
      a actually complex conditional and so the wrong code is wrapped in an explict
      set of () [exactly what the compiler wants you to do if this was intentional].
      Fixing this means that errors when netfilter denies a packet get propagated
      back up the stack rather than lost.
      
      Problem introduced by commit 2249065f (netfilter: get rid of the grossness
      in netfilter.h).

      sched: Use group weight, idle cpu metrics to fix imbalances during idle · aae6d3dd
      Suresh Siddha 提交于
      Currently we consider a sched domain to be well balanced when the imbalance
      is less than the domain's imablance_pct. As the number of cores and threads
      are increasing, current values of imbalance_pct (for example 25% for a
      NUMA domain) are not enough to detect imbalances like:
      
      a) On a WSM-EP system (two sockets, each having 6 cores and 12 logical threads),
      24 cpu-hogging tasks get scheduled as 13 on one socket and 11 on another
      socket. Leading to an idle HT cpu.
      
      b) On a hypothetial 2 socket NHM-EX system (each socket having 8 cores and
      16 logical threads), 16 cpu-hogging tasks can get scheduled as 9 on one
      socket and 7 on another socket. Leaving one core in a socket idle
      whereas in another socket we have a core having both its HT siblings busy.
      
      While this issue can be fixed by decreasing the domain's imbalance_pct
      (by making it a function of number of logical cpus in the domain), it
      can potentially cause more task migrations across sched groups in an
      overloaded case.
      
      Fix this by using imbalance_pct only during newly_idle and busy
      load balancing. And during idle load balancing, check if there
      is an imbalance in number of idle cpu's across the busiest and this
      sched_group or if the busiest group has more tasks than its weight that
      the idle cpu in this_group can pull.

      perf_events: Fix time tracking in samples · eed01528
      Stephane Eranian 提交于
      This patch corrects time tracking in samples. Without this patch
      both time_enabled and time_running are bogus when user asks for
      PERF_SAMPLE_READ.
      
      One uses PERF_SAMPLE_READ to sample the values of other counters
      in each sample. Because of multiplexing, it is necessary to know
      both time_enabled, time_running to be able to scale counts correctly.
      
      In this second version of the patch, we maintain a shadow
      copy of ctx->time which allows us to compute ctx->time without
      calling update_context_time() from NMI context. We avoid the
      issue that update_context_time() must always be called with
      ctx->lock held.
      
      We do not keep shadow copies of the other event timings
      because if the lead event is overflowing then it is active
      and thus it's been scheduled in via event_sched_in() in
      which case neither tstamp_stopped, tstamp_running can be modified.
      
      This timing logic only applies to samples when PERF_SAMPLE_READ
      is used.
      
      Note that this patch does not address timing issues related
      to sampling inheritance between tasks. This will be addressed
      in a future patch.
      
      With this patch, the libpfm4 example task_smpl now reports
      correct counts (shown on 2.4GHz Core 2):
      
      $ task_smpl -p 2400000000 -e unhalted_core_cycles:u,instructions_retired:u,baclears  noploop 5
