      include cleanup: Update gfp.h and slab.h includes to prepare for breaking implicit slab.h inclusion from percpu.h
      
      percpu.h is included by sched.h and module.h and thus ends up being
      included when building most .c files.  percpu.h includes slab.h which
      in turn includes gfp.h making everything defined by the two files
      universally available and complicating inclusion dependencies.
      
      percpu.h -> slab.h dependency is about to be removed.  Prepare for
      this change by updating users of gfp and slab facilities include those
      headers directly instead of assuming availability.  As this conversion
      needs to touch large number of source files, the following script is
      used as the basis of conversion.
      
        http://userweb.kernel.org/~tj/misc/slabh-sweep.py
      
      The script does the followings.
      
      * Scan files for gfp and slab usages and update includes such that
        only the necessary includes are there.  ie. if only gfp is used,
        gfp.h, if slab is used, slab.h.
      
      * When the script inserts a new include, it looks at the include
        blocks and try to put the new include such that its order conforms
        to its surrounding.  It's put in the include block which contains
        core kernel includes, in the same order that the rest are ordered -
        alphabetical, Christmas tree, rev-Xmas-tree or at the end if there
        doesn't seem to be any matching order.
      
      * If the script can't find a place to put a new include (mostly
        because the file doesn't have fitting include block), it prints out
        an error message indicating which .h file needs to be added to the
        file.
      
      The conversion was done in the following steps.
      
      1. The initial automatic conversion of all .c files updated slightly
         over 4000 files, deleting around 700 includes and adding ~480 gfp.h
         and ~3000 slab.h inclusions.  The script emitted errors for ~400
         files.
      
      2. Each error was manually checked.  Some didn't need the inclusion,
         some needed manual addition while adding it to implementation .h or
         embedding .c file was more appropriate for others.  This step added
         inclusions to around 150 files.
      
      3. The script was run again and the output was compared to the edits
         from #2 to make sure no file was left behind.
      
      4. Several build tests were done and a couple of problems were fixed.
         e.g. lib/decompress_*.c used malloc/free() wrappers around slab
         APIs requiring slab.h to be added manually.
      
      5. The script was run on all .h files but without automatically
         editing them as sprinkling gfp.h and slab.h inclusions around .h
         files could easily lead to inclusion dependency hell.  Most gfp.h
         inclusion directives were ignored as stuff from gfp.h was usually
         wildly available and often used in preprocessor macros.  Each
         slab.h inclusion directive was examined and added manually as
         necessary.
      
      6. percpu.h was updated not to include slab.h.
      
      7. Build test were done on the following configurations and failures
         were fixed.  CONFIG_GCOV_KERNEL was turned off for all tests (as my
         distributed build env didn't work with gcov compiles) and a few
         more options had to be turned off depending on archs to make things
         build (like ipr on powerpc/64 which failed due to missing writeq).
      
         * x86 and x86_64 UP and SMP allmodconfig and a custom test config.
         * powerpc and powerpc64 SMP allmodconfig
         * sparc and sparc64 SMP allmodconfig
         * ia64 SMP allmodconfig
         * s390 SMP allmodconfig
         * alpha SMP allmodconfig
         * um on x86_64 SMP allmodconfig
      
      8. percpu.h modifications were reverted so that it could be applied as
         a separate patch and serve as bisection point.
      
      Given the fact that I had only a couple of failures from tests on step
      6, I'm fairly confident about the coverage of this conversion patch.
      If there is a breakage, it's likely to be something in one of the arch
      headers which should be easily discoverable easily on most builds of
      the specific arch.

      Audit: add TTY input auditing · 522ed776
      Miloslav Trmac 提交于
      Add TTY input auditing, used to audit system administrator's actions.  This is
      required by various security standards such as DCID 6/3 and PCI to provide
      non-repudiation of administrator's actions and to allow a review of past
      actions if the administrator seems to overstep their duties or if the system
      becomes misconfigured for unknown reasons.  These requirements do not make it
      necessary to audit TTY output as well.
      
      Compared to an user-space keylogger, this approach records TTY input using the
      audit subsystem, correlated with other audit events, and it is completely
      transparent to the user-space application (e.g.  the console ioctls still
      work).
      
      TTY input auditing works on a higher level than auditing all system calls
      within the session, which would produce an overwhelming amount of mostly
      useless audit events.
      
      Add an "audit_tty" attribute, inherited across fork ().  Data read from TTYs
      by process with the attribute is sent to the audit subsystem by the kernel.
      The audit netlink interface is extended to allow modifying the audit_tty
      attribute, and to allow sending explanatory audit events from user-space (for
      example, a shell might send an event containing the final command, after the
      interactive command-line editing and history expansion is performed, which
      might be difficult to decipher from the TTY input alone).
      
      Because the "audit_tty" attribute is inherited across fork (), it would be set
      e.g.  for sshd restarted within an audited session.  To prevent this, the
      audit_tty attribute is cleared when a process with no open TTY file
      descriptors (e.g.  after daemon startup) opens a TTY.
      
      See https://www.redhat.com/archives/linux-audit/2007-June/msg00000.html for a
      more detailed rationale document for an older version of this patch.

      [NETLINK]: Add notification message sending interface · d387f6ad
      Thomas Graf 提交于
      Adds nlmsg_notify() implementing proper notification logic. The
      message is multicasted to all listeners in the group. The
      applications the requests orignates from can request a unicast
      back report in which case said socket will be excluded from the
      multicast to avoid duplicated notifications.
      
      nlmsg_multicast() is extended to take allocation flags to
      allow notification in atomic contexts.

      [NetLabel]: core NetLabel subsystem · d15c345f
      Paul Moore 提交于
      Add a new kernel subsystem, NetLabel, to provide explicit packet
      labeling services (CIPSO, RIPSO, etc.) to LSM developers.  NetLabel is
      designed to work in conjunction with a LSM to intercept and decode
      security labels on incoming network packets as well as ensure that
      outgoing network packets are labeled according to the security
      mechanism employed by the LSM.  The NetLabel subsystem is configured
      through a Generic NETLINK interface described in the header files
      included in this patch.
