      [AF_UNIX]: Datagram getpeersec · 877ce7c1
      Catherine Zhang 提交于
      This patch implements an API whereby an application can determine the
      label of its peer's Unix datagram sockets via the auxiliary data mechanism of
      recvmsg.
      
      Patch purpose:
      
      This patch enables a security-aware application to retrieve the
      security context of the peer of a Unix datagram socket.  The application
      can then use this security context to determine the security context for
      processing on behalf of the peer who sent the packet.
      
      Patch design and implementation:
      
      The design and implementation is very similar to the UDP case for INET
      sockets.  Basically we build upon the existing Unix domain socket API for
      retrieving user credentials.  Linux offers the API for obtaining user
      credentials via ancillary messages (i.e., out of band/control messages
      that are bundled together with a normal message).  To retrieve the security
      context, the application first indicates to the kernel such desire by
      setting the SO_PASSSEC option via getsockopt.  Then the application
      retrieves the security context using the auxiliary data mechanism.
      
      An example server application for Unix datagram socket should look like this:
      
      toggle = 1;
      toggle_len = sizeof(toggle);
      
      setsockopt(sockfd, SOL_SOCKET, SO_PASSSEC, &toggle, &toggle_len);
      recvmsg(sockfd, &msg_hdr, 0);
      if (msg_hdr.msg_controllen > sizeof(struct cmsghdr)) {
          cmsg_hdr = CMSG_FIRSTHDR(&msg_hdr);
          if (cmsg_hdr->cmsg_len <= CMSG_LEN(sizeof(scontext)) &&
              cmsg_hdr->cmsg_level == SOL_SOCKET &&
              cmsg_hdr->cmsg_type == SCM_SECURITY) {
              memcpy(&scontext, CMSG_DATA(cmsg_hdr), sizeof(scontext));
          }
      }
      
      sock_setsockopt is enhanced with a new socket option SOCK_PASSSEC to allow
      a server socket to receive security context of the peer.
      
      Testing:
      
      We have tested the patch by setting up Unix datagram client and server
      applications.  We verified that the server can retrieve the security context
      using the auxiliary data mechanism of recvmsg.

      [PATCH] genirq: add ->retrigger() irq op to consolidate hw_irq_resend() · c0ad90a3

      Add ->retrigger() irq op to consolidate hw_irq_resend() implementations.
      (Most architectures had it defined to NOP anyway.)
      
      NOTE: ia64 needs testing. i386 and x86_64 tested.

      [PATCH] vgacon: make VGA_MAP_MEM take size, remove extra use · 4f1bcaf0
      Bjorn Helgaas 提交于
      VGA_MAP_MEM translates to ioremap() on some architectures.  It makes sense
      to do this to vga_vram_base, because we're going to access memory between
      vga_vram_base and vga_vram_end.
      
      But it doesn't really make sense to map starting at vga_vram_end, because
      we aren't going to access memory starting there.  On ia64, which always has
      to be different, ioremapping vga_vram_end gives you something completely
      incompatible with ioremapped vga_vram_start, so vga_vram_size ends up being
      nonsense.
      
      As a bonus, we often know the size up front, so we can use ioremap()
      correctly, rather than giving it a zero size.

      [PATCH] POLLRDHUP/EPOLLRDHUP handling for half-closed devices notifications · f348d70a
      Davide Libenzi 提交于
      Implement the half-closed devices notifiation, by adding a new POLLRDHUP
      (and its alias EPOLLRDHUP) bit to the existing poll/select sets.  Since the
      existing POLLHUP handling, that does not report correctly half-closed
      devices, was feared to be changed, this implementation leaves the current
      POLLHUP reporting unchanged and simply add a new bit that is set in the few
      places where it makes sense.  The same thing was discussed and conceptually
      agreed quite some time ago:
      
      http://lkml.org/lkml/2003/7/12/116
      
      Since this new event bit is added to the existing Linux poll infrastruture,
      even the existing poll/select system calls will be able to use it.  As far
      as the existing POLLHUP handling, the patch leaves it as is.  The
      pollrdhup-2.6.16.rc5-0.10.diff defines the POLLRDHUP for all the existing
      archs and sets the bit in the six relevant files.  The other attached diff
      is the simple change required to sys/epoll.h to add the EPOLLRDHUP
      definition.
      
      There is "a stupid program" to test POLLRDHUP delivery here:
      
       http://www.xmailserver.org/pollrdhup-test.c
      
      It tests poll(2), but since the delivery is same epoll(2) will work equally.

      [PATCH] madvise MADV_DONTFORK/MADV_DOFORK · f8225661
      Michael S. Tsirkin 提交于
      Currently, copy-on-write may change the physical address of a page even if the
      user requested that the page is pinned in memory (either by mlock or by
      get_user_pages).  This happens if the process forks meanwhile, and the parent
      writes to that page.  As a result, the page is orphaned: in case of
      get_user_pages, the application will never see any data hardware DMA's into
      this page after the COW.  In case of mlock'd memory, the parent is not getting
      the realtime/security benefits of mlock.
      
      In particular, this affects the Infiniband modules which do DMA from and into
      user pages all the time.
      
      This patch adds madvise options to control whether memory range is inherited
      across fork.  Useful e.g.  for when hardware is doing DMA from/into these
      pages.  Could also be useful to an application wanting to speed up its forks
      by cutting large areas out of consideration.
