      rcu: Add callback-free CPUs · 3fbfbf7a
      Paul E. McKenney 提交于
      RCU callback execution can add significant OS jitter and also can
      degrade both scheduling latency and, in asymmetric multiprocessors,
      energy efficiency.  This commit therefore adds the ability for selected
      CPUs ("rcu_nocbs=" boot parameter) to have their callbacks offloaded
      to kthreads.  If the "rcu_nocb_poll" boot parameter is also specified,
      these kthreads will do polling, removing the need for the offloaded
      CPUs to do wakeups.  At least one CPU must be doing normal callback
      processing: currently CPU 0 cannot be selected as a no-CBs CPU.
      In addition, attempts to offline the last normal-CBs CPU will fail.
      
      This feature was inspired by Jim Houston's and Joe Korty's JRCU, and
      this commit includes fixes to problems located by Fengguang Wu's
      kbuild test robot.

      infrastructure for saner ret_from_kernel_thread semantics · a74fb73c
      Al Viro 提交于
      * allow kernel_execve() leave the actual return to userland to
      caller (selected by CONFIG_GENERIC_KERNEL_EXECVE).  Callers
      updated accordingly.
      * architecture that does select GENERIC_KERNEL_EXECVE in its
      Kconfig should have its ret_from_kernel_thread() do this:
      	call schedule_tail
      	call the callback left for it by copy_thread(); if it ever
      returns, that's because it has just done successful kernel_execve()
      	jump to return from syscall
      IOW, its only difference from ret_from_fork() is that it does call the
      callback.
      * such an architecture should also get rid of ret_from_kernel_execve()
      and __ARCH_WANT_KERNEL_EXECVE
      
      This is the last part of infrastructure patches in that area - from
      that point on work on different architectures can live independently.

      MODSIGN: Implement module signature checking · 48ba2462
      David Howells 提交于
      Check the signature on the module against the keys compiled into the kernel or
      available in a hardware key store.
      
      Currently, only RSA keys are supported - though that's easy enough to change,
      and the signature is expected to contain raw components (so not a PGP or
      PKCS#7 formatted blob).
      
      The signature blob is expected to consist of the following pieces in order:
      
       (1) The binary identifier for the key.  This is expected to match the
           SubjectKeyIdentifier from an X.509 certificate.  Only X.509 type
           identifiers are currently supported.
      
       (2) The signature data, consisting of a series of MPIs in which each is in
           the format of a 2-byte BE word sizes followed by the content data.
      
       (3) A 12 byte information block of the form:
      
      	struct module_signature {
      		enum pkey_algo		algo : 8;
      		enum pkey_hash_algo	hash : 8;
      		enum pkey_id_type	id_type : 8;
      		u8			__pad;
      		__be32			id_length;
      		__be32			sig_length;
      	};
      
           The three enums are defined in crypto/public_key.h.
      
           'algo' contains the public-key algorithm identifier (0->DSA, 1->RSA).
      
           'hash' contains the digest algorithm identifier (0->MD4, 1->MD5, 2->SHA1,
            etc.).
      
           'id_type' contains the public-key identifier type (0->PGP, 1->X.509).
      
           '__pad' should be 0.
      
           'id_length' should contain in the binary identifier length in BE form.
      
           'sig_length' should contain in the signature data length in BE form.
      
           The lengths are in BE order rather than CPU order to make dealing with
           cross-compilation easier.

      MODSIGN: Provide Kconfig options · ea0b6dcf
      David Howells 提交于
      Provide kernel configuration options for module signing.
      
      The following configuration options are added:
      
           CONFIG_MODULE_SIG_SHA1
           CONFIG_MODULE_SIG_SHA224
           CONFIG_MODULE_SIG_SHA256
           CONFIG_MODULE_SIG_SHA384
           CONFIG_MODULE_SIG_SHA512
      
      These select the cryptographic hash used to digest the data prior to signing.
      Additionally, the crypto module selected will be built into the kernel as it
      won't be possible to load it as a module without incurring a circular
      dependency when the kernel tries to check its signature.

      module: signature checking hook · 106a4ee2
      Rusty Russell 提交于
      We do a very simple search for a particular string appended to the module
      (which is cache-hot and about to be SHA'd anyway).  There's both a config
      option and a boot parameter which control whether we accept or fail with
      unsigned modules and modules that are signed with an unknown key.
      
      If module signing is enabled, the kernel will be tainted if a module is
      loaded that is unsigned or has a signature for which we don't have the
      key.

      X.509: Add simple ASN.1 grammar compiler · 4520c6a4
      David Howells 提交于
      Add a simple ASN.1 grammar compiler.  This produces a bytecode output that can
      be fed to a decoder to inform the decoder how to interpret the ASN.1 stream it
      is trying to parse.
      
      Action functions can be specified in the grammar by interpolating:
      
      	({ foo })
      
      after a type, for example:
      
      	SubjectPublicKeyInfo ::= SEQUENCE {
      		algorithm		AlgorithmIdentifier,
      		subjectPublicKey	BIT STRING ({ do_key_data })
      		}
      
      The decoder is expected to call these after matching this type and parsing the
      contents if it is a constructed type.
      
      The grammar compiler does not currently support the SET type (though it does
      support SET OF) as I can't see a good way of tracking which members have been
      encountered yet without using up extra stack space.
      
      Currently, the grammar compiler will fail if more than 256 bytes of bytecode
      would be produced or more than 256 actions have been specified as it uses
      8-bit jump values and action indices to keep space usage down.

      cputime: Make finegrained irqtime accounting generally available · fdf9c356
      Frederic Weisbecker 提交于
      There is no known reason for this option to be unavailable on other
      archs than x86. They just need to call enable_sched_clock_irqtime()
      if they have a sufficiently finegrained clock to make it working.
      
      Move it to the general option and let the user choose between
      it and pure tick based or virtual cputime accounting.
      
      Note that virtual cputime accounting already performs a finegrained
      irqtime accounting. CONFIG_IRQ_TIME_ACCOUNTING is a kind of middle ground
      between tick and virtual based accounting. So CONFIG_IRQ_TIME_ACCOUNTING
      and CONFIG_VIRT_CPU_ACCOUNTING are mutually exclusive choices.
