      KEYS: Asymmetric key pluggable data parsers · 46c6f177
      David Howells 提交于
      The instantiation data passed to the asymmetric key type are expected to be
      formatted in some way, and there are several possible standard ways to format
      the data.
      
      The two obvious standards are OpenPGP keys and X.509 certificates.  The latter
      is especially useful when dealing with UEFI, and the former might be useful
      when dealing with, say, eCryptfs.
      
      Further, it might be desirable to provide formatted blobs that indicate
      hardware is to be accessed to retrieve the keys or that the keys live
      unretrievably in a hardware store, but that the keys can be used by means of
      the hardware.
      
      From userspace, the keys can be loaded using the keyctl command, for example,
      an X.509 binary certificate:
      
      	keyctl padd asymmetric foo @s <dhowells.pem
      
      or a PGP key:
      
      	keyctl padd asymmetric bar @s <dhowells.pub
      
      or a pointer into the contents of the TPM:
      
      	keyctl add asymmetric zebra "TPM:04982390582905f8" @s
      
      Inside the kernel, pluggable parsers register themselves and then get to
      examine the payload data to see if they can handle it.  If they can, they get
      to:
      
        (1) Propose a name for the key, to be used it the name is "" or NULL.
      
        (2) Specify the key subtype.
      
        (3) Provide the data for the subtype.
      
      The key type asks the parser to do its stuff before a key is allocated and thus
      before the name is set.  If successful, the parser stores the suggested data
      into the key_preparsed_payload struct, which will be either used (if the key is
      successfully created and instantiated or updated) or discarded.

      KEYS: Implement asymmetric key type · 964f3b3b
      David Howells 提交于
      Create a key type that can be used to represent an asymmetric key type for use
      in appropriate cryptographic operations, such as encryption, decryption,
      signature generation and signature verification.
      
      The key type is "asymmetric" and can provide access to a variety of
      cryptographic algorithms.
      
      Possibly, this would be better as "public_key" - but that has the disadvantage
      that "public key" is an overloaded term.

      KEYS: Add payload preparsing opportunity prior to key instantiate or update · cf7f601c
      David Howells 提交于
      Give the key type the opportunity to preparse the payload prior to the
      instantiation and update routines being called.  This is done with the
      provision of two new key type operations:
      
      	int (*preparse)(struct key_preparsed_payload *prep);
      	void (*free_preparse)(struct key_preparsed_payload *prep);
      
      If the first operation is present, then it is called before key creation (in
      the add/update case) or before the key semaphore is taken (in the update and
      instantiate cases).  The second operation is called to clean up if the first
      was called.
      
      preparse() is given the opportunity to fill in the following structure:
      
      	struct key_preparsed_payload {
      		char		*description;
      		void		*type_data[2];
      		void		*payload;
      		const void	*data;
      		size_t		datalen;
      		size_t		quotalen;
      	};
      
      Before the preparser is called, the first three fields will have been cleared,
      the payload pointer and size will be stored in data and datalen and the default
      quota size from the key_type struct will be stored into quotalen.
      
      The preparser may parse the payload in any way it likes and may store data in
      the type_data[] and payload fields for use by the instantiate() and update()
      ops.
      
      The preparser may also propose a description for the key by attaching it as a
      string to the description field.  This can be used by passing a NULL or ""
      description to the add_key() system call or the key_create_or_update()
      function.  This cannot work with request_key() as that required the description
      to tell the upcall about the key to be created.
      
      This, for example permits keys that store PGP public keys to generate their own
      name from the user ID and public key fingerprint in the key.
      
      The instantiate() and update() operations are then modified to look like this:
      
      	int (*instantiate)(struct key *key, struct key_preparsed_payload *prep);
      	int (*update)(struct key *key, struct key_preparsed_payload *prep);
      
      and the new payload data is passed in *prep, whether or not it was preparsed.

      module: wait when loading a module which is currently initializing. · 9bb9c3be
      Rusty Russell 提交于
      The original module-init-tools module loader used a fnctl lock on the
      .ko file to avoid attempts to simultaneously load a module.
      Unfortunately, you can't get an exclusive fcntl lock on a read-only
      fd, making this not work for read-only mounted filesystems.
      module-init-tools has a hacky sleep-and-loop for this now.
      
      It's not that hard to wait in the kernel, and only return -EEXIST once
      the first module has finished loading (or continue loading the module
      if the first one failed to initialize for some reason).  It's also
      consistent with what we do for dependent modules which are still loading.

      module: fix symbol waiting when module fails before init · 6f13909f
      Rusty Russell 提交于
      We use resolve_symbol_wait(), which blocks if the module containing
      the symbol is still loading.  However:
      
      1) The module_wq we use is only woken after calling the modules' init
         function, but there are other failure paths after the module is
         placed in the linked list where we need to do the same thing.
      
      2) wake_up() only wakes one waiter, and our waitqueue is shared by all
         modules, so we need to wake them all.
      
      3) wake_up_all() doesn't imply a memory barrier: I feel happier calling
         it after we've grabbed and dropped the module_mutex, not just after
         the state assignment.

      Make most arch asm/module.h files use asm-generic/module.h · 786d35d4
      David Howells 提交于
      Use the mapping of Elf_[SPE]hdr, Elf_Addr, Elf_Sym, Elf_Dyn, Elf_Rel/Rela,
      ELF_R_TYPE() and ELF_R_SYM() to either the 32-bit version or the 64-bit version
      into asm-generic/module.h for all arches bar MIPS.
      
      Also, use the generic definition mod_arch_specific where possible.
      
      To this end, I've defined three new config bools:
      
       (*) HAVE_MOD_ARCH_SPECIFIC
      
           Arches define this if they don't want to use the empty generic
           mod_arch_specific struct.
      
       (*) MODULES_USE_ELF_RELA
      
           Arches define this if their modules can contain RELA records.  This causes
           the Elf_Rela mapping to be emitted and allows apply_relocate_add() to be
           defined by the arch rather than have the core emit an error message.
      
       (*) MODULES_USE_ELF_REL
      
           Arches define this if their modules can contain REL records.  This causes
           the Elf_Rel mapping to be emitted and allows apply_relocate() to be
           defined by the arch rather than have the core emit an error message.
      
      Note that it is possible to allow both REL and RELA records: m68k and mips are
      two arches that do this.
      
      With this, some arch asm/module.h files can be deleted entirely and replaced
      with a generic-y marker in the arch Kbuild file.
      
      Additionally, I have removed the bits from m32r and score that handle the
      unsupported type of relocation record as that's now handled centrally.

        too.

        off, on and then off (and stay off).  The fix is on the safer side.

      workqueue: always clear WORKER_REBIND in busy_worker_rebind_fn() · 960bd11b
      Lai Jiangshan 提交于
      busy_worker_rebind_fn() didn't clear WORKER_REBIND if rebinding failed
      (CPU is down again).  This used to be okay because the flag wasn't
      used for anything else.
      
      However, after 25511a47 "workqueue: reimplement CPU online rebinding
      to handle idle workers", WORKER_REBIND is also used to command idle
      workers to rebind.  If not cleared, the worker may confuse the next
      CPU_UP cycle by having REBIND spuriously set or oops / get stuck by
      prematurely calling idle_worker_rebind().

      mm/page_alloc: fix the page address of higher page's buddy calculation · 0ba8f2d5
      Li Haifeng 提交于
      The heuristic method for buddy has been introduced since commit
      43506fad ("mm/page_alloc.c: simplify calculation of combined index
      of adjacent buddy lists").  But the page address of higher page's buddy
      was wrongly calculated, which will lead page_is_buddy to fail for ever.
      IOW, the heuristic method would be disabled with the wrong page address
      of higher page's buddy.
      
      Calculating the page address of higher page's buddy should be based
      higher_page with the offset between index of higher page and index of
      higher page's buddy.

      drivers/rtc/rtc-twl.c: ensure all interrupts are disabled during probe · 8dcebaa9
      Kevin Hilman 提交于
      On some platforms, bootloaders are known to do some interesting RTC
      programming.  Without going into the obscurities as to why this may be
      the case, suffice it to say the the driver should not make any
      assumptions about the state of the RTC when the driver loads.  In
      particular, the driver probe should be sure that all interrupts are
      disabled until otherwise programmed.
      
      This was discovered when finding bursty I2C traffic every second on
      Overo platforms.  This I2C overhead was keeping the SoC from hitting
      deep power states.  The cause was found to be the RTC firing every
      second on the I2C-connected TWL PMIC.
      
      Special thanks to Felipe Balbi for suggesting to look for a rogue driver
      as the source of the I2C traffic rather than the I2C driver itself.
      
      Special thanks to Steve Sakoman for helping track down the source of the
      continuous RTC interrups on the Overo boards.

      Commit c76562b6 ("netvm: prevent a stream-specific deadlock")
      accidentally replaced the "size" parameter of sk_rmem_schedule() with an

      return statement.
      
      In sk_wmem_schedule we have syntactically the same comparison, but
      "size" is a signed integer.  In addition, __sk_mem_schedule() takes a
      signed integer for its "size" parameter, so there is an implicit type
      conversion in sk_rmem_schedule() anyway.
      
      Revert the "size" parameter back to a signed integer so that the
      semantics of the expressions in both sk_[rw]mem_schedule() are exactly
      the same.

      slub: consider pfmemalloc_match() in get_partial_node() · 8ba00bb6
      Joonsoo Kim 提交于
      get_partial() is currently not checking pfmemalloc_match() meaning that
      it is possible for pfmemalloc pages to leak to non-pfmemalloc users.
      This is a problem in the following situation.  Assume that there is a
      request from normal allocation and there are no objects in the per-cpu
      cache and no node-partial slab.
      
      In this case, slab_alloc enters the slow path and new_slab_objects() is
      called which may return a PFMEMALLOC page.  As the current user is not
      allowed to access PFMEMALLOC page, deactivate_slab() is called
      ([5091b74a: mm: slub: optimise the SLUB fast path to avoid pfmemalloc
      checks]) and returns an object from PFMEMALLOC page.
      
      Next time, when we get another request from normal allocation,
      slab_alloc() enters the slow-path and calls new_slab_objects().  In
      new_slab_objects(), we call get_partial() and get a partial slab which
      was just deactivated but is a pfmemalloc page.  We extract one object
      from it and re-deactivate.
      
        "deactivate -> re-get in get_partial -> re-deactivate" occures repeatedly.
      
      As a result, access to PFMEMALLOC page is not properly restricted and it
      can cause a performance degradation due to frequent deactivation.
      deactivation frequently.
      
      This patch changes get_partial_node() to take pfmemalloc_match() into
      account and prevents the "deactivate -> re-get in get_partial()
      scenario.  Instead, new_slab() is called.

      slab: do ClearSlabPfmemalloc() for all pages of slab · 30c29bea
      Mel Gorman 提交于
      Right now, we call ClearSlabPfmemalloc() for first page of slab when we
      clear SlabPfmemalloc flag.  This is fine for most swap-over-network use
      cases as it is expected that order-0 pages are in use.  Unfortunately it
      is possible that that __ac_put_obj() checks SlabPfmemalloc on a tail
      page and while this is harmless, it is sloppy.  This patch ensures that
      the head page is always used.

      nbd: clear waiting_queue on shutdown · fded4e09
      Paul Clements 提交于
      Fix a serious but uncommon bug in nbd which occurs when there is heavy
      I/O going to the nbd device while, at the same time, a failure (server,
      network) or manual disconnect of the nbd connection occurs.
      
      There is a small window between the time that the nbd_thread is stopped
      and the socket is shutdown where requests can continue to be queued to
      nbd's internal waiting_queue.  When this happens, those requests are
      never completed or freed.
      
      The fix is to clear the waiting_queue on shutdown of the nbd device, in
      the same way that the nbd request queue (queue_head) is already being
      cleared.

      mm/ia64: fix a memory block size bug · 05cf9639
      Jianguo Wu 提交于
      I found following definition in include/linux/memory.h, in my IA64
      platform, SECTION_SIZE_BITS is equal to 32, and MIN_MEMORY_BLOCK_SIZE
      will be 0.
      
        #define MIN_MEMORY_BLOCK_SIZE     (1 << SECTION_SIZE_BITS)
      
      Because MIN_MEMORY_BLOCK_SIZE is int type and length of 32bits,
      so MIN_MEMORY_BLOCK_SIZE(1 << 32) will will equal to 0.
      Actually when SECTION_SIZE_BITS >= 31, MIN_MEMORY_BLOCK_SIZE will be wrong.
      This will cause wrong system memory infomation in sysfs.

      fs/proc: fix potential unregister_sysctl_table hang · 6bf61045
      Francesco Ruggeri 提交于
      The unregister_sysctl_table() function hangs if all references to its
      ctl_table_header structure are not dropped.
      
      This can happen sometimes because of a leak in proc_sys_lookup():
      proc_sys_lookup() gets a reference to the table via lookup_entry(), but
      it does not release it when a subsequent call to sysctl_follow_link()
      fails.
      
      This patch fixes this leak by making sure the reference is always
      dropped on return.

      introducing find_entry and lookup_entry") which reorganized this code in

      Revert "sched: Improve scalability via 'CPU buddies', which withstand random perturbations" · 37407ea7
      Linus Torvalds 提交于
      This reverts commit 970e1789.
      
      Nikolay Ulyanitsky reported thatthe 3.6-rc5 kernel has a 15-20%
      performance drop on PostgreSQL 9.2 on his machine (running "pgbench").
      
      Borislav Petkov was able to reproduce this, and bisected it to this
      commit 970e1789 ("sched: Improve scalability via 'CPU buddies' ...")
      apparently because the new single-idle-buddy model simply doesn't find
      idle CPU's to reschedule on aggressively enough.
      
      Mike Galbraith suspects that it is likely due to the user-mode spinlocks
      in PostgreSQL not reacting well to preemption, but we don't really know
      the details - I'll just revert the commit for now.
      
      There are hopefully other approaches to improve scheduler scalability
      without it causing these kinds of downsides.
