      CRED: Inaugurate COW credentials · d84f4f99
      David Howells 提交于
      Inaugurate copy-on-write credentials management.  This uses RCU to manage the
      credentials pointer in the task_struct with respect to accesses by other tasks.
      A process may only modify its own credentials, and so does not need locking to
      access or modify its own credentials.
      
      A mutex (cred_replace_mutex) is added to the task_struct to control the effect
      of PTRACE_ATTACHED on credential calculations, particularly with respect to
      execve().
      
      With this patch, the contents of an active credentials struct may not be
      changed directly; rather a new set of credentials must be prepared, modified
      and committed using something like the following sequence of events:
      
      	struct cred *new = prepare_creds();
      	int ret = blah(new);
      	if (ret < 0) {
      		abort_creds(new);
      		return ret;
      	}
      	return commit_creds(new);
      
      There are some exceptions to this rule: the keyrings pointed to by the active
      credentials may be instantiated - keyrings violate the COW rule as managing
      COW keyrings is tricky, given that it is possible for a task to directly alter
      the keys in a keyring in use by another task.
      
      To help enforce this, various pointers to sets of credentials, such as those in
      the task_struct, are declared const.  The purpose of this is compile-time
      discouragement of altering credentials through those pointers.  Once a set of
      credentials has been made public through one of these pointers, it may not be
      modified, except under special circumstances:
      
        (1) Its reference count may incremented and decremented.
      
        (2) The keyrings to which it points may be modified, but not replaced.
      
      The only safe way to modify anything else is to create a replacement and commit
      using the functions described in Documentation/credentials.txt (which will be
      added by a later patch).
      
      This patch and the preceding patches have been tested with the LTP SELinux
      testsuite.
      
      This patch makes several logical sets of alteration:
      
       (1) execve().
      
           This now prepares and commits credentials in various places in the
           security code rather than altering the current creds directly.
      
       (2) Temporary credential overrides.
      
           do_coredump() and sys_faccessat() now prepare their own credentials and
           temporarily override the ones currently on the acting thread, whilst
           preventing interference from other threads by holding cred_replace_mutex
           on the thread being dumped.
      
           This will be replaced in a future patch by something that hands down the
           credentials directly to the functions being called, rather than altering
           the task's objective credentials.
      
       (3) LSM interface.
      
           A number of functions have been changed, added or removed:
      
           (*) security_capset_check(), ->capset_check()
           (*) security_capset_set(), ->capset_set()
      
           	 Removed in favour of security_capset().
      
           (*) security_capset(), ->capset()
      
           	 New.  This is passed a pointer to the new creds, a pointer to the old
           	 creds and the proposed capability sets.  It should fill in the new
           	 creds or return an error.  All pointers, barring the pointer to the
           	 new creds, are now const.
      
           (*) security_bprm_apply_creds(), ->bprm_apply_creds()
      
           	 Changed; now returns a value, which will cause the process to be
           	 killed if it's an error.
      
           (*) security_task_alloc(), ->task_alloc_security()
      
           	 Removed in favour of security_prepare_creds().
      
           (*) security_cred_free(), ->cred_free()
      
           	 New.  Free security data attached to cred->security.
      
           (*) security_prepare_creds(), ->cred_prepare()
      
           	 New. Duplicate any security data attached to cred->security.
      
           (*) security_commit_creds(), ->cred_commit()
      
           	 New. Apply any security effects for the upcoming installation of new
           	 security by commit_creds().
      
           (*) security_task_post_setuid(), ->task_post_setuid()
      
           	 Removed in favour of security_task_fix_setuid().
      
           (*) security_task_fix_setuid(), ->task_fix_setuid()
      
           	 Fix up the proposed new credentials for setuid().  This is used by
           	 cap_set_fix_setuid() to implicitly adjust capabilities in line with
           	 setuid() changes.  Changes are made to the new credentials, rather
           	 than the task itself as in security_task_post_setuid().
      
           (*) security_task_reparent_to_init(), ->task_reparent_to_init()
      
           	 Removed.  Instead the task being reparented to init is referred
           	 directly to init's credentials.
      
      	 NOTE!  This results in the loss of some state: SELinux's osid no
      	 longer records the sid of the thread that forked it.
      
           (*) security_key_alloc(), ->key_alloc()
           (*) security_key_permission(), ->key_permission()
      
           	 Changed.  These now take cred pointers rather than task pointers to
           	 refer to the security context.
      
       (4) sys_capset().
      
           This has been simplified and uses less locking.  The LSM functions it
           calls have been merged.
      
       (5) reparent_to_kthreadd().
      
           This gives the current thread the same credentials as init by simply using
           commit_thread() to point that way.
      
       (6) __sigqueue_alloc() and switch_uid()
      
           __sigqueue_alloc() can't stop the target task from changing its creds
           beneath it, so this function gets a reference to the currently applicable
           user_struct which it then passes into the sigqueue struct it returns if
           successful.
      
           switch_uid() is now called from commit_creds(), and possibly should be
           folded into that.  commit_creds() should take care of protecting
           __sigqueue_alloc().
      
       (7) [sg]et[ug]id() and co and [sg]et_current_groups.
      
           The set functions now all use prepare_creds(), commit_creds() and
           abort_creds() to build and check a new set of credentials before applying
           it.
      
           security_task_set[ug]id() is called inside the prepared section.  This
           guarantees that nothing else will affect the creds until we've finished.
      
           The calling of set_dumpable() has been moved into commit_creds().
      
           Much of the functionality of set_user() has been moved into
           commit_creds().
      
           The get functions all simply access the data directly.
      
       (8) security_task_prctl() and cap_task_prctl().
      
           security_task_prctl() has been modified to return -ENOSYS if it doesn't
           want to handle a function, or otherwise return the return value directly
           rather than through an argument.
      
           Additionally, cap_task_prctl() now prepares a new set of credentials, even
           if it doesn't end up using it.
      
       (9) Keyrings.
      
           A number of changes have been made to the keyrings code:
      
           (a) switch_uid_keyring(), copy_keys(), exit_keys() and suid_keys() have
           	 all been dropped and built in to the credentials functions directly.
           	 They may want separating out again later.
      
           (b) key_alloc() and search_process_keyrings() now take a cred pointer
           	 rather than a task pointer to specify the security context.
      
           (c) copy_creds() gives a new thread within the same thread group a new
           	 thread keyring if its parent had one, otherwise it discards the thread
           	 keyring.
      
           (d) The authorisation key now points directly to the credentials to extend
           	 the search into rather pointing to the task that carries them.
      
           (e) Installing thread, process or session keyrings causes a new set of
           	 credentials to be created, even though it's not strictly necessary for
           	 process or session keyrings (they're shared).
      
      (10) Usermode helper.
      
           The usermode helper code now carries a cred struct pointer in its
           subprocess_info struct instead of a new session keyring pointer.  This set
           of credentials is derived from init_cred and installed on the new process
           after it has been cloned.
      
           call_usermodehelper_setup() allocates the new credentials and
           call_usermodehelper_freeinfo() discards them if they haven't been used.  A
           special cred function (prepare_usermodeinfo_creds()) is provided
           specifically for call_usermodehelper_setup() to call.
      
           call_usermodehelper_setkeys() adjusts the credentials to sport the
           supplied keyring as the new session keyring.
      
      (11) SELinux.
      
           SELinux has a number of changes, in addition to those to support the LSM
           interface changes mentioned above:
      
           (a) selinux_setprocattr() no longer does its check for whether the
           	 current ptracer can access processes with the new SID inside the lock
           	 that covers getting the ptracer's SID.  Whilst this lock ensures that
           	 the check is done with the ptracer pinned, the result is only valid
           	 until the lock is released, so there's no point doing it inside the
           	 lock.
      
      (12) is_single_threaded().
      
           This function has been extracted from selinux_setprocattr() and put into
           a file of its own in the lib/ directory as join_session_keyring() now
           wants to use it too.
      
           The code in SELinux just checked to see whether a task shared mm_structs
           with other tasks (CLONE_VM), but that isn't good enough.  We really want
           to know if they're part of the same thread group (CLONE_THREAD).
      
      (13) nfsd.
      
           The NFS server daemon now has to use the COW credentials to set the
           credentials it is going to use.  It really needs to pass the credentials
           down to the functions it calls, but it can't do that until other patches
           in this series have been applied.

      KEYS: Alter use of key instantiation link-to-keyring argument · 8bbf4976
      David Howells 提交于
      Alter the use of the key instantiation and negation functions' link-to-keyring
      arguments.  Currently this specifies a keyring in the target process to link
      the key into, creating the keyring if it doesn't exist.  This, however, can be
      a problem for copy-on-write credentials as it means that the instantiating
      process can alter the credentials of the requesting process.
      
      This patch alters the behaviour such that:
      
       (1) If keyctl_instantiate_key() or keyctl_negate_key() are given a specific
           keyring by ID (ringid >= 0), then that keyring will be used.
      
       (2) If keyctl_instantiate_key() or keyctl_negate_key() are given one of the
           special constants that refer to the requesting process's keyrings
           (KEY_SPEC_*_KEYRING, all <= 0), then:
      
           (a) If sys_request_key() was given a keyring to use (destringid) then the
           	 key will be attached to that keyring.
      
           (b) If sys_request_key() was given a NULL keyring, then the key being
           	 instantiated will be attached to the default keyring as set by
           	 keyctl_set_reqkey_keyring().
      
       (3) No extra link will be made.
      
      Decision point (1) follows current behaviour, and allows those instantiators
      who've searched for a specifically named keyring in the requestor's keyring so
      as to partition the keys by type to still have their named keyrings.
      
      Decision point (2) allows the requestor to make sure that the key or keys that
      get produced by request_key() go where they want, whilst allowing the
      instantiator to request that the key is retained.  This is mainly useful for
      situations where the instantiator makes a secondary request, the key for which
      should be retained by the initial requestor:
      
      	+-----------+        +--------------+        +--------------+
      	|           |        |              |        |              |
      	| Requestor |------->| Instantiator |------->| Instantiator |
      	|           |        |              |        |              |
      	+-----------+        +--------------+        +--------------+
      	           request_key()           request_key()
      
      This might be useful, for example, in Kerberos, where the requestor requests a
      ticket, and then the ticket instantiator requests the TGT, which someone else
      then has to go and fetch.  The TGT, however, should be retained in the
      keyrings of the requestor, not the first instantiator.  To make this explict
      an extra special keyring constant is also added.

      Capabilities: BUG when an invalid capability is requested · 637d32dc
      Eric Paris 提交于
      If an invalid (large) capability is requested the capabilities system
      may panic as it is dereferencing an array of fixed (short) length.  Its
      possible (and actually often happens) that the capability system
      accidentally stumbled into a valid memory region but it also regularly
      happens that it hits invalid memory and BUGs.  If such an operation does
      get past cap_capable then the selinux system is sure to have problems as
      it already does a (simple) validity check and BUG.  This is known to
      happen by the broken and buggy firegl driver.
      
      This patch cleanly checks all capable calls and BUG if a call is for an
      invalid capability.  This will likely break the firegl driver for some
      situations, but it is the right thing to do.  Garbage into a security
      system gets you killed/bugged

      file capabilities: add no_file_caps switch (v4) · 1f29fae2
      Serge E. Hallyn 提交于
      Add a no_file_caps boot option when file capabilities are
      compiled into the kernel (CONFIG_SECURITY_FILE_CAPABILITIES=y).
      
      This allows distributions to ship a kernel with file capabilities
      compiled in, without forcing users to use (and understand and
      trust) them.
      
      When no_file_caps is specified at boot, then when a process executes
      a file, any file capabilities stored with that file will not be
      used in the calculation of the process' new capability sets.
      
      This means that booting with the no_file_caps boot option will
      not be the same as booting a kernel with file capabilities
      compiled out - in particular a task with  CAP_SETPCAP will not
      have any chance of passing capabilities to another task (which
      isn't "really" possible anyway, and which may soon by killed
      altogether by David Howells in any case), and it will instead
      be able to put new capabilities in its pI.  However since fI
      will always be empty and pI is masked with fI, it gains the
      task nothing.
      
      We also support the extra prctl options, setting securebits and
      dropping capabilities from the per-process bounding set.
      
      The other remaining difference is that killpriv, task_setscheduler,
      setioprio, and setnice will continue to be hooked.  That will
      be noticable in the case where a root task changed its uid
      while keeping some caps, and another task owned by the new uid
      tries to change settings for the more privileged task.
      
      Changelog:
      	Nov 05 2008: (v4) trivial port on top of always-start-\
      		with-clear-caps patch

      Some of the pages below the 1MB ISA addresses will be shared typically by both
      BIOS and system usable RAM. For example:
      	BIOS-e820: 0000000000000000 - 000000000009f800 (usable)
      	BIOS-e820: 000000000009f800 - 00000000000a0000 (reserved)
      
      x86info reads the low physical address using /dev/mem, which internally
      uses ioremap() for accessing non RAM pages. ioremap() of such low
      pages conflicts with multiple resource entities leading to the
      above warning.
      
      Change the iomem_map_sanity_check() to allow mapping a page spanning multiple
      resource entities (minimum granularity that one can map is a page anyhow).

      ftrace: perform an initialization for ftrace to enable it · 0b6e4d56
      Frederic Weisbecker 提交于
      Impact: corrects a bug which made the non-dyn function tracer not functional
      
      With latest git, the non-dynamic function tracer didn't get any trace.
      
      The problem was the fact that ftrace_enabled wasn't initialized to 1
      because ftrace hasn't any init function when DYNAMIC_FTRACE is disabled.
      
      So when a tracer tries to register an ftrace_ops struct,
      __register_ftrace_function failed to set the hook.
      
      This patch corrects it by setting an init function to initialize
      ftrace during the boot.

      ftrace: fix current_tracer error return · 60063a66
      Steven Rostedt 提交于
      The commit (in linux-tip) c2931e05
       ( ftrace: return an error when setting a nonexistent tracer )
      added useful code that would error when a bad tracer was written into
      the current_tracer file.
      
      But this had a bug if the amount written was more than the amount read by
      that code. The first iteration would set the tracer correctly, but since
      it did not consume the rest of what was written (usually whitespace), the
      userspace utility would continue to write what was not consumed. This
      second iteration would fail to find a tracer and return -EINVAL. Funny
      thing is that the tracer would have already been set.
      
      This patch just consumes all the data that is written to the file.

      lockdep: fix irqs on/off ip tracing · 6afe40b4
      Heiko Carstens 提交于
      Impact: fix lockdep lock-api-caller output when irqsoff tracing is enabled
      
      81d68a96 "ftrace: trace irq disabled critical timings" added wrappers around
      trace_hardirqs_on/off_caller. However these functions use
      __builtin_return_address(0) to figure out which function actually disabled
      or enabled irqs. The result is that we save the ips of trace_hardirqs_on/off
      instead of the real caller. Not very helpful.
      
      However since the patch from Steven the ip already gets passed. So use that
      and get rid of __builtin_return_address(0) in these two functions.

      Revert "Call init_workqueues before pre smp initcalls." · 4403b406
      Linus Torvalds 提交于
      This reverts commit a802dd0e by moving
      the call to init_workqueues() back where it belongs - after SMP has been
      initialized.
      
      It also moves stop_machine_init() - which needs workqueues - to a later
      phase using a core_initcall() instead of early_initcall().  That should
      satisfy all ordering requirements, and was apparently the reason why
      init_workqueues() was moved to be too early.
