      cputime: Use accessors to read task cputime stats · 6fac4829
      Frederic Weisbecker 提交于
      This is in preparation for the full dynticks feature. While
      remotely reading the cputime of a task running in a full
      dynticks CPU, we'll need to do some extra-computation. This
      way we can account the time it spent tickless in userspace
      since its last cputime snapshot.

      vfs: define struct filename and have getname() return it · 91a27b2a
      Jeff Layton 提交于
      getname() is intended to copy pathname strings from userspace into a
      kernel buffer. The result is just a string in kernel space. It would
      however be quite helpful to be able to attach some ancillary info to
      the string.
      
      For instance, we could attach some audit-related info to reduce the
      amount of audit-related processing needed. When auditing is enabled,
      we could also call getname() on the string more than once and not
      need to recopy it from userspace.
      
      This patchset converts the getname()/putname() interfaces to return
      a struct instead of a string. For now, the struct just tracks the
      string in kernel space and the original userland pointer for it.
      
      Later, we'll add other information to the struct as it becomes
      convenient.

      alpha: unbreak osf_setsysinfo(SSI_NVPAIRS, [SSIN_UACPROC, UAC_SIGBUS]) · 2df7a7d1
      Sergei Trofimovich 提交于
      The bug was accidentally found by the following program:
      
          #include <asm/sysinfo.h>
          #include <asm/unistd.h>
          #include <sys/syscall.h>
          static int setsysinfo(unsigned long op, void *buffer, unsigned long size,
                                int *start, void *arg, unsigned long flag) {
              return syscall(__NR_osf_setsysinfo, op, buffer, size, start, arg, flag);
          }
      
          int main(int argc, char **argv) {
              short x[10];
              unsigned int buf[2] = { SSIN_UACPROC, UAC_SIGBUS, };
              setsysinfo(SSI_NVPAIRS, buf, 1, 0, 0, 0);
      
              int  *y = (int*) (x+1);
              *y = 0;
              return 0;
          }
      
      The program shoud fail on SIGBUS, but didn't.
      
      The patch is a second part of userspace flag fix (commit 745dd240
      "Alpha: Rearrange thread info flags fixing two regressions").
      
      Deleted outdated out-of-sync 'UAC_SHIFT' (the cause of bug) in favour of
      'ALPHA_UAC_SHIFT'.

      alpha: fix several security issues · 21c5977a
      Dan Rosenberg 提交于
      Fix several security issues in Alpha-specific syscalls.  Untested, but
      mostly trivial.
      
      1. Signedness issue in osf_getdomainname allows copying out-of-bounds
      kernel memory to userland.
      
      2. Signedness issue in osf_sysinfo allows copying large amounts of
      kernel memory to userland.
      
      3. Typo (?) in osf_getsysinfo bounds minimum instead of maximum copy
      size, allowing copying large amounts of kernel memory to userland.
      
      4. Usage of user pointer in osf_wait4 while under KERNEL_DS allows
      privilege escalation via writing return value of sys_wait4 to kernel
      memory.

      We'll need the path to implement the flags field for statvfs support.
      We do have it available in all callers except:
      
       - ecryptfs_statfs.  This one doesn't actually need vfs_statfs but just
         needs to do a caller to the lower filesystem statfs method.
       - sys_ustat.  Add a non-exported statfs_by_dentry helper for it which
         doesn't won't be able to fill out the flags field later on.
      
      In addition rename the helpers for statfs vs fstatfs to do_*statfs instead
      of the misleading vfs prefix.

      include cleanup: Update gfp.h and slab.h includes to prepare for breaking... · 5a0e3ad6
      Tejun Heo 提交于
      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.
