Convert to proper kernel-doc format. Some have extra blank lines (not allowed immed. after the function name) or need blank lines (after all parameters). Function summary must be only one line. Colon (":") in a function description does weird things (causes kernel-doc to think that it's a new section head sadly).

This patch adds a connector that reports fork, exec, id change, and exit events for all processes to userspace. It replaces the fork_advisor patch that ELSA is currently using. Applications that may find these events useful include accounting/auditing (e.g. ELSA), system activity monitoring (e.g. top), security, and resource management (e.g. CKRM).

In the lead up to 2.6.13 I fixed a large number of reboot problems by making the calling conventions consistent. Despite checking and double checking my work it appears I missed an obvious one. This first patch simply refactors the reboot routines so all of the preparation for various kinds of reboots are in their own functions. Making it very hard to get the various kinds of reboot out of sync. Signed-off-by: NEric W.

2.6.13 incorporated Alan Cox's patch for /proc/sys/fs/suid_dumpable (one version of this patch can be found here http://marc.theaimsgroup.com/?l=linux-kernel&m=109647550421014&w=2 ). This patch also made corresponding changes in kernel/sys.c to change the prctl() PR_SET_DUMPABLE operation so that the permitted range of 'arg2' was modified from 0..1 to 0..2. However, a corresponding change was not made for PR_GET_DUMPABLE: if the dumpable flag is non-zero, then PR_GET_DUMPABLE always returns 1, so that the caller can't determine the true setting of this flag.

The patch removes a redundant variable `sig' from sys_prctl(). For some reason, when sys_prctl is called with option == PR_SET_PDEATHSIG then the value of arg2 is assigned to an int variable named sig. Then sig is tested with valid_signal() and later used to set the value of current->pdeath_signal . There is no reason to use this intermediate variable since valid_signal() takes a unsigned long argument, so it can handle being passed arg2 directly, and if the call to valid_signal is OK, then we know the value of arg2 is in the range zero to _NSIG and thus it'll easily fit in a plain int and thus there's no problem assigning it later to current->pdeath_signal (which is an int). The patch gets rid of the pointless variable `sig'. This reduces the size of kernel/sys.o in 2.6.13-rc6-mm1 by 32 bytes on my system. Patch has been compile tested, boot tested, and just to make damn sure I didn't break anything I wrote a quick test app that calls prctl(PR_SET_PDEATHSIG ...) with the entire range of values for a unsigned long, and it behaves as expected with and without the patch.

This removes the calls to device_suspend() from the shutdown path that were added sometime during 2.6.13-rc*. They aren't working properly on a number of configs (I got reports from both ppc powerbook users and x86 users) causing the system to not shutdown anymore. I think it isn't the right approach at the moment anyway. We have already a shutdown() callback for the drivers that actually care about shutdown and the suspend() code isn't yet in a good enough shape to be so much generalized. Also, the semantics of suspend and shutdown are slightly different on a number of setups and the way this was patched in provides little way for drivers to cleanly differenciate. It should have been at least a different message. For 2.6.13, I think we should revert to 2.6.12 behaviour and have a working suspend back.

When the kernel is working well and we want to restart cleanly kernel_restart is the function to use. But in many instances the kernel wants to reboot when thing are expected to be working very badly such as from panic or a software watchdog handler. This patch adds the function emergency_restart() so that callers can be clear what semantics they expect when calling restart. emergency_restart() is expected to be callable from interrupt context and possibly reliable in even more trying circumstances. This is an initial generic implementation for all architectures. Signed-off-by: NEric W. Biederman <ebiederm@xmission.com> Signed-off-by: NLinus Torvalds <torvalds@osdl.org>

This patch introduces the architecture independent implementation the sys_kexec_load, the compat_sys_kexec_load system calls. Kexec on panic support has been integrated into the core patch and is relatively clean. In addition the hopefully architecture independent option crashkernel=size@location has been docuemented. It's purpose is to reserve space for the panic kernel to live, and where no DMA transfer will ever be setup to access.

The attached patch makes the following changes: (1) There's a new special key type called ".request_key_auth". This is an authorisation key for when one process requests a key and another process is started to construct it. This type of key cannot be created by the user; nor can it be requested by kernel services. Authorisation keys hold two references: (a) Each refers to a key being constructed. When the key being constructed is instantiated the authorisation key is revoked, rendering it of no further use. (b) The "authorising process". This is either: (i) the process that called request_key(), or: (ii) if the process that called request_key() itself had an authorisation key in its session keyring, then the authorising process referred to by that authorisation key will also be referred to by the new authorisation key. This means that the process that initiated a chain of key requests will authorise the lot of them, and will, by default, wind up with the keys obtained from them in its keyrings. (2) request_key() creates an authorisation key which is then passed to /sbin/request-key in as part of a new session keyring. (3) When request_key() is searching for a key to hand back to the caller, if it comes across an authorisation key in the session keyring of the calling process, it will also search the keyrings of the process specified therein and it will use the specified process's credentials (fsuid, fsgid, groups) to do that rather than the calling process's credentials. This allows a process started by /sbin/request-key to find keys belonging to the authorising process. (4) A key can be read, even if the process executing KEYCTL_READ doesn't have direct read or search permission if that key is contained within the keyrings of a process specified by an authorisation key found within the calling process's session keyring, and is searchable using the credentials of the authorising process. This allows a process started by /sbin/request-key to read keys belonging to the authorising process. (5) The magic KEY_SPEC_*_KEYRING key IDs when passed to KEYCTL_INSTANTIATE or KEYCTL_NEGATE will specify a keyring of the authorising process, rather than the process doing the instantiation. (6) One of the process keyrings can be nominated as the default to which request_key() should attach new keys if not otherwise specified. This is done with KEYCTL_SET_REQKEY_KEYRING and one of the KEY_REQKEY_DEFL_* constants. The current setting can also be read using this call. (7) request_key() is partially interruptible. If it is waiting for another process to finish constructing a key, it can be interrupted. This permits a request-key cycle to be broken without recourse to rebooting.

Add a new `suid_dumpable' sysctl: This value can be used to query and set the core dump mode for setuid or otherwise protected/tainted binaries. The modes are 0 - (default) - traditional behaviour. Any process which has changed privilege levels or is execute only will not be dumped 1 - (debug) - all processes dump core when possible. The core dump is owned by the current user and no security is applied. This is intended for system debugging situations only. Ptrace is unchecked. 2 - (suidsafe) - any binary which normally would not be dumped is dumped readable by root only. This allows the end user to remove such a dump but not access it directly. For security reasons core dumps in this mode will not overwrite one another or other files. This mode is appropriate when adminstrators are attempting to debug problems in a normal environment. (akpm: > > +EXPORT_SYMBOL(suid_dumpable); > > EXPORT_SYMBOL_GPL? No problem to me. > > if (current->euid == current->uid && current->egid == current->gid) > > current->mm->dumpable = 1; > > Should this be SUID_DUMP_USER? Actually the feedback I had from last time was that the SUID_ defines should go because its clearer to follow the numbers. They can go everywhere (and there are lots of places where dumpable is tested/used as a bool in untouched code) > Maybe this should be renamed to `dump_policy' or something. Doing that > would help us catch any code which isn't using the #defines, too. Fair comment. The patch was designed to be easy to maintain for Red Hat rather than for merging.

Add a pair of rlimits for allowing non-root tasks to raise nice and rt priorities. Defaults to traditional behavior. Originally written by Chris Wright. The patch implements a simple rlimit ceiling for the RT (and nice) priorities a task can set. The rlimit defaults to 0, meaning no change in behavior by default. A value of 50 means RT priority levels 1-50 are allowed. A value of 100 means all 99 privilege levels from 1 to 99 are allowed. CAP_SYS_NICE is blanket permission.

Initial git repository build. I'm not bothering with the full history, even though we have it. We can create a separate "historical" git archive of that later if we want to, and in the meantime it's about 3.2GB when imported into git - space that would just make the early git days unnecessarily complicated, when we don't have a lot of good infrastructure for it. Let it rip!
