Some setuid binaries will allow reading of files which have read permission by the real user id. This is problematic with files which use %pK because the file access permission is checked at open() time, but the kptr_restrict setting is checked at read() time. If a setuid binary opens a %pK file as an unprivileged user, and then elevates permissions before reading the file, then kernel pointer values may be leaked. This happens for example with the setuid pppd application on Ubuntu 12.04: $ head -1 /proc/kallsyms 00000000 T startup_32 $ pppd file /proc/kallsyms pppd: In file /proc/kallsyms: unrecognized option 'c1000000' This will only leak the pointer value from the first line, but other setuid binaries may leak more information. Fix this by adding a check that in addition to the current process having CAP_SYSLOG, that effective user and group ids are equal to the real ids. If a setuid binary reads the contents of a file which uses %pK then the pointer values will be printed as NULL if the real user is unprivileged. Update the sysctl documentation to reflect the changes, and also correct the documentation to state the kptr_restrict=0 is the default. This is a only temporary solution to the issue. The correct solution is to do the permission check at open() time on files, and to replace %pK with a function which checks the open() time permission. %pK uses in printk should be removed since no sane permission check can be done, and instead protected by using dmesg_restrict.

The CONFIG_HPET_MMAP Kconfig option exposes the memory map of the HPET registers to userspace. The Kconfig help points out that in some cases this can be a security risk as some systems may erroneously configure the map such that additional data is exposed to userspace. This is a problem for distributions -- some users want the MMAP functionality but it comes with a significant security risk. In an effort to mitigate this risk, and due to the low number of users of the MMAP functionality, I've introduced a kernel parameter, hpet_mmap_enable, that is required in order to actually have the HPET MMAP exposed.

Now dirty_background_ratio/dirty_ratio contains a percentage of total avaiable memory, which contains free pages and reclaimable pages. The number of these pages is not equal to the number of total system memory. But they are described as a percentage of total system memory in Documentation/sysctl/vm.txt. So we need to fix them to avoid misunderstanding.

The hot-Pluggable field in SRAT specifies which memory is hotpluggable. As we mentioned before, if hotpluggable memory is used by the kernel, it cannot be hot-removed. So memory hotplug users may want to set all hotpluggable memory in ZONE_MOVABLE so that the kernel won't use it. Memory hotplug users may also set a node as movable node, which has ZONE_MOVABLE only, so that the whole node can be hot-removed. But the kernel cannot use memory in ZONE_MOVABLE. By doing this, the kernel cannot use memory in movable nodes. This will cause NUMA performance down. And other users may be unhappy. So we need a way to allow users to enable and disable this functionality. In this patch, we introduce movable_node boot option to allow users to choose to not to consume hotpluggable memory at early boot time and later we can set it as ZONE_MOVABLE. To achieve this, the movable_node boot option will control the memblock allocation direction. That said, after memblock is ready, before SRAT is parsed, we should allocate memory near the kernel image as we explained in the previous patches. So if movable_node boot option is set, the kernel does the following: 1. After memblock is ready, make memblock allocate memory bottom up. 2. After SRAT is parsed, make memblock behave as default, allocate memory top down. Users can specify "movable_node" in kernel commandline to enable this functionality. For those who don't use memory hotplug or who don't want to lose their NUMA performance, just don't specify anything. The kernel will work as before.

The memory.numa_stat file was not hierarchical. Memory charged to the children was not shown in parent's numa_stat. This change adds the "hierarchical_" stats to the existing stats.

The values of b are included in the "hierarchical_*" under a. $ cd /sys/fs/cgroup $ echo 1 > memory.use_hierarchy $ mkdir a a/b Run workload in a/b: $ (echo $BASHPID >> a/b/cgroup.procs && cat /some/file && bash) & The hierarchical_ fields in parent (a) show use of workload in a/b: $ cat a/memory.numa_stat total=0 N0=0 N1=0 N2=0 N3=0 file=0 N0=0 N1=0 N2=0 N3=0 anon=0 N0=0 N1=0 N2=0 N3=0 unevictable=0 N0=0 N1=0 N2=0 N3=0 hierarchical_total=908 N0=552 N1=317 N2=39 N3=0 hierarchical_file=850 N0=549 N1=301 N2=0 N3=0 hierarchical_anon=58 N0=3 N1=16 N2=39 N3=0 hierarchical_unevictable=0 N0=0 N1=0 N2=0 N3=0 $ cat a/b/memory.numa_stat total=908 N0=552 N1=317 N2=39 N3=0 file=850 N0=549 N1=301 N2=0 N3=0 anon=58 N0=3 N1=16 N2=39 N3=0 unevictable=0 N0=0 N1=0 N2=0 N3=0 hierarchical_total=908 N0=552 N1=317 N2=39 N3=0 hierarchical_file=850 N0=549 N1=301 N2=0 N3=0 hierarchical_anon=58 N0=3 N1=16 N2=39 N3=0 hierarchical_unevictable=0 N0=0 N1=0 N2=0 N3=0 Signed-off-by: NYing Han <yinghan@google.com> Signed-off-by: NGreg Thelen <gthelen@google.com> Cc: Johannes Weiner <hannes@cmpxchg.org> Cc: Michal Hocko <mhocko@suse.cz> Signed-off-by: NAndrew Morton <akpm@linux-foundation.org> Signed-off-by: NLinus Torvalds <torvalds@linux-foundation.org>

由 Grant Likely 提交于
The standard interrupts property in device tree can only handle interrupts coming from a single interrupt parent. If a device is wired to multiple interrupt controllers, then it needs to be attached to a node with an interrupt-map property to demux the interrupt specifiers which is confusing. It would be a lot easier if there was a form of the interrupts property that allows for a separate interrupt phandle for each interrupt specifier. This patch does exactly that by creating a new interrupts-extended property which reuses the phandle+arguments pattern used by GPIOs and other core bindings.
