      dccp: Deprecate old setsockopt framework · 668144f7
      Gerrit Renker 提交于
      The previous setsockopt interface, which passed socket options via struct 
      dccp_so_feat, is complicated/difficult to use. Continuing to support it leads to
      ugly code since the old approach did not distinguish between NN and SP values.
      
      This patch removes the old setsockopt interface and replaces it with two new
      functions to register NN/SP values for feature negotiation. These are 
      essentially wrappers around the internal __feat_register functions, with 
      checking added to avoid
       * wrong usage (type);
       * changing values while the connection is in progress.

      dccp: Query supported CCIDs · 71bb4959
      Gerrit Renker 提交于
      This provides a data structure to record which CCIDs are locally supported
      and three accessor functions:
       - a test function for internal use which is used to validate CCID requests
         made by the user;
       - a copy function so that the list can be used for feature-negotiation;   
       - documented getsockopt() support so that the user can query capabilities.
      
      The data structure is a table which is filled in at compile-time with the
      list of available CCIDs (which in turn depends on the Kconfig choices).
      
      Using the copy function for cloning the list of supported CCIDs is useful for
      feature negotiation, since the negotiation is now with the full list of available
      CCIDs (e.g. {2, 3}) instead of the default value {2}. This means negotiation 
      will not fail if the peer requests to use CCID3 instead of CCID2.

      net: Unbreak userspace usage of linux/mroute.h · 7c19a3d2
      David S. Miller 提交于
      Nothing in linux/pim.h should be exported to userspace.
      
      This should fix the XORP build failure reported by
      Jose Calhariz, the debain package maintainer.
      
      Nothing originally in linux/mroute.h was exported to userspace
      ever, but some of this stuff started to be when it was moved into
      this new linux/pim.h, and that was wrong.  If we didn't provide these
      definitions for 10 years we can reasonably expect that applications
      defined this stuff locally or used GLIBC headers providing the
      protocol definitions.  And as such the only result of this can
      be conflict and userland build breakage.

      mm: dirty page tracking race fix · 479db0bf
      Nick Piggin 提交于
      There is a race with dirty page accounting where a page may not properly
      be accounted for.
      
      clear_page_dirty_for_io() calls page_mkclean; then TestClearPageDirty.
      
      page_mkclean walks the rmaps for that page, and for each one it cleans and
      write protects the pte if it was dirty.  It uses page_check_address to
      find the pte.  That function has a shortcut to avoid the ptl if the pte is
      not present.  Unfortunately, the pte can be switched to not-present then
      back to present by other code while holding the page table lock -- this
      should not be a signal for page_mkclean to ignore that pte, because it may
      be dirty.
      
      For example, powerpc64's set_pte_at will clear a previously present pte
      before setting it to the desired value.  There may also be other code in
      core mm or in arch which do similar things.
      
      The consequence of the bug is loss of data integrity due to msync, and
      loss of dirty page accounting accuracy.  XIP's __xip_unmap could easily
      also be unreliable (depending on the exact XIP locking scheme), which can
      lead to data corruption.
      
      Fix this by having an option to always take ptl to check the pte in
      page_check_address.
      
      It's possible to retain this optimization for page_referenced and
      try_to_unmap.

      security: Fix setting of PF_SUPERPRIV by __capable() · 5cd9c58f
      David Howells 提交于
      Fix the setting of PF_SUPERPRIV by __capable() as it could corrupt the flags
      the target process if that is not the current process and it is trying to
      change its own flags in a different way at the same time.
      
      __capable() is using neither atomic ops nor locking to protect t->flags.  This
      patch removes __capable() and introduces has_capability() that doesn't set
      PF_SUPERPRIV on the process being queried.
      
      This patch further splits security_ptrace() in two:
      
       (1) security_ptrace_may_access().  This passes judgement on whether one
           process may access another only (PTRACE_MODE_ATTACH for ptrace() and
           PTRACE_MODE_READ for /proc), and takes a pointer to the child process.
           current is the parent.
      
       (2) security_ptrace_traceme().  This passes judgement on PTRACE_TRACEME only,
           and takes only a pointer to the parent process.  current is the child.
      
           In Smack and commoncap, this uses has_capability() to determine whether
           the parent will be permitted to use PTRACE_ATTACH if normal checks fail.
           This does not set PF_SUPERPRIV.
      
      Two of the instances of __capable() actually only act on current, and so have
      been changed to calls to capable().
      
      Of the places that were using __capable():
      
       (1) The OOM killer calls __capable() thrice when weighing the killability of a
           process.  All of these now use has_capability().
      
       (2) cap_ptrace() and smack_ptrace() were using __capable() to check to see
           whether the parent was allowed to trace any process.  As mentioned above,
           these have been split.  For PTRACE_ATTACH and /proc, capable() is now
           used, and for PTRACE_TRACEME, has_capability() is used.
      
       (3) cap_safe_nice() only ever saw current, so now uses capable().
      
       (4) smack_setprocattr() rejected accesses to tasks other than current just
           after calling __capable(), so the order of these two tests have been
           switched and capable() is used instead.
      
       (5) In smack_file_send_sigiotask(), we need to allow privileged processes to
           receive SIGIO on files they're manipulating.
      
       (6) In smack_task_wait(), we let a process wait for a privileged process,
           whether or not the process doing the waiting is privileged.
      
      I've tested this with the LTP SELinux and syscalls testscripts.

      CRED: Introduce credential access wrappers · 9e2b2dc4
      David Howells 提交于
      The patches that are intended to introduce copy-on-write credentials for 2.6.28
      require abstraction of access to some fields of the task structure,
      particularly for the case of one task accessing another's credentials where RCU
      will have to be observed.
      
      Introduced here are trivial no-op versions of the desired accessors for current
      and other tasks so that other subsystems can start to be converted over more
      easily.
      
      Wrappers are introduced into a new header (linux/cred.h) for UID/GID,
      EUID/EGID, SUID/SGID, FSUID/FSGID, cap_effective and current's subscribed
      user_struct.  These wrappers are macros because the ordering between header
      files mitigates against making them inline functions.
      
      linux/cred.h is #included from linux/sched.h.
      
      Further, XFS is modified such that it no longer defines and uses parameterised
      versions of current_fs[ug]id(), thus getting rid of the namespace collision
      otherwise incurred.

      modules: extend initcall_debug functionality to the module loader · 59f9415f
      Arjan van de Ven 提交于
      The kernel has this really nice facility where if you put "initcall_debug"
      on the kernel commandline, it'll print which function it's going to
      execute just before calling an initcall, and then after the call completes
      it will
      
      1) print if it had an error code
      
      2) checks for a few simple bugs (like leaving irqs off)
      and
      
      3) print how long the init call took in milliseconds.
      
      While trying to optimize the boot speed of my laptop, I have been loving
      number 3 to figure out what to optimize...  ...  and then I wished that
      the same thing was done for module loading.
      
      This patch makes the module loader use this exact same functionality; it's
      a logical extension in my view (since modules are just sort of late
      binding initcalls anyway) and so far I've found it quite useful in finding
      where things are too slow in my boot.
