      KEYS: Add garbage collection for dead, revoked and expired keys. [try #6] · 5d135440
      David Howells 提交于
      Add garbage collection for dead, revoked and expired keys.  This involved
      erasing all links to such keys from keyrings that point to them.  At that
      point, the key will be deleted in the normal manner.
      
      Keyrings from which garbage collection occurs are shrunk and their quota
      consumption reduced as appropriate.
      
      Dead keys (for which the key type has been removed) will be garbage collected
      immediately.
      
      Revoked and expired keys will hang around for a number of seconds, as set in
      /proc/sys/kernel/keys/gc_delay before being automatically removed.  The default
      is 5 minutes.

      CRED: Add some configurable debugging [try #6] · e0e81739
      David Howells 提交于
      Add a config option (CONFIG_DEBUG_CREDENTIALS) to turn on some debug checking
      for credential management.  The additional code keeps track of the number of
      pointers from task_structs to any given cred struct, and checks to see that
      this number never exceeds the usage count of the cred struct (which includes
      all references, not just those from task_structs).
      
      Furthermore, if SELinux is enabled, the code also checks that the security
      pointer in the cred struct is never seen to be invalid.
      
      This attempts to catch the bug whereby inode_has_perm() faults in an nfsd
      kernel thread on seeing cred->security be a NULL pointer (it appears that the
      credential struct has been previously released):

      lsm: Add hooks to the TUN driver · 2b980dbd
      Paul Moore 提交于
      The TUN driver lacks any LSM hooks which makes it difficult for LSM modules,
      such as SELinux, to enforce access controls on network traffic generated by
      TUN users; this is particularly problematic for virtualization apps such as
      QEMU and KVM.  This patch adds three new LSM hooks designed to control the
      creation and attachment of TUN devices, the hooks are:
      
       * security_tun_dev_create()
         Provides access control for the creation of new TUN devices
      
       * security_tun_dev_post_create()
         Provides the ability to create the necessary socket LSM state for newly
         created TUN devices
      
       * security_tun_dev_attach()
         Provides access control for attaching to existing, persistent TUN devices
         and the ability to update the TUN device's socket LSM state as necessary

      mm: revert "oom: move oom_adj value" · 0753ba01
      KOSAKI Motohiro 提交于
      The commit 2ff05b2b (oom: move oom_adj value) moveed the oom_adj value to
      the mm_struct.  It was a very good first step for sanitize OOM.
      
      However Paul Menage reported the commit makes regression to his job
      scheduler.  Current OOM logic can kill OOM_DISABLED process.
      
      Why? His program has the code of similar to the following.
      
      	...
      	set_oom_adj(OOM_DISABLE); /* The job scheduler never killed by oom */
      	...
      	if (vfork() == 0) {
      		set_oom_adj(0); /* Invoked child can be killed */
      		execve("foo-bar-cmd");
      	}
      	....
      
      vfork() parent and child are shared the same mm_struct.  then above
      set_oom_adj(0) doesn't only change oom_adj for vfork() child, it's also
      change oom_adj for vfork() parent.  Then, vfork() parent (job scheduler)
      lost OOM immune and it was killed.
      
      Actually, fork-setting-exec idiom is very frequently used in userland program.
      We must not break this assumption.
      
      Then, this patch revert commit 2ff05b2b and related commit.

      perf_counter: Subtract the buffer size field from the event record size · 304703ab
      Frederic Weisbecker 提交于
      We compute the perf raw sample size by aligning the raw ftrace
      event size plus the buffer size field itself. We do that
      instead of aligning only the perf raw sample size, so that we
      might economize some in some cases.
      
      But this buffer size field is not stored in the perf raw
      sample, we must then substract its size from the buffer once we
      computed the alignment unless we may get a useless u32 field in
      the buffer.

      Frederic Weisbecker 提交于
      This patch implements the kernel side support for ftrace event
      record sampling.
      
      A new counter sampling attribute is added:
      
         PERF_SAMPLE_TP_RECORD
      
      which requests ftrace events record sampling. In this case
      if a PERF_TYPE_TRACEPOINT counter is active and a tracepoint
      fires, we emit the tracepoint binary record to the
      perfcounter event buffer, as a sample.
      
      Result, after setting PERF_SAMPLE_TP_RECORD attribute from perf
      record:
      
       perf record -f -F 1 -a -e workqueue:workqueue_execution

       func	    = 0xffffffff8131b1e0 = flush_to_ldisc()
      
      What will come next?
      
       - Userspace support ('perf trace'), 'flight data recorder' mode
         for perf trace, etc.
      
       - The unconditional copy from the profiling callback brings
         some costs however if someone wants no such sampling to
         occur, and needs to be fixed in the future. For that we need
         to have an instant access to the perf counter attribute.
         This is a matter of a flag to add in the struct ftrace_event.
      
       - Take care of the events recursivity! Don't ever try to record
         a lock event for example, it seems some locking is used in
         the profiling fast path and lead to a tracing recursivity.
         That will be fixed using raw spinlock or recursivity
         protection.
      
       - [...]

      mm: make set_mempolicy(MPOL_INTERLEAV) N_HIGH_MEMORY aware · 4bfc4495
      KAMEZAWA Hiroyuki 提交于
      At first, init_task's mems_allowed is initialized as this.
       init_task->mems_allowed == node_state[N_POSSIBLE]
      
      And cpuset's top_cpuset mask is initialized as this
       top_cpuset->mems_allowed = node_state[N_HIGH_MEMORY]
      
      Before 2.6.29:
      policy's mems_allowed is initialized as this.
      
        1. update tasks->mems_allowed by its cpuset->mems_allowed.
        2. policy->mems_allowed = nodes_and(tasks->mems_allowed, user's mask)
      
      Updating task's mems_allowed in reference to top_cpuset's one.
      cpuset's mems_allowed is aware of N_HIGH_MEMORY, always.
      
      In 2.6.30: After commit 58568d2a
      ("cpuset,mm: update tasks' mems_allowed in time"), policy's mems_allowed
      is initialized as this.
      
        1. policy->mems_allowd = nodes_and(task->mems_allowed, user's mask)
      
      Here, if task is in top_cpuset, task->mems_allowed is not updated from
      init's one.  Assume user excutes command as #numactrl --interleave=all
      ,....
      
        policy->mems_allowd = nodes_and(N_POSSIBLE, ALL_SET_MASK)
      
      Then, policy's mems_allowd can includes a possible node, which has no pgdat.
      
      MPOL's INTERLEAVE just scans nodemask of task->mems_allowd and access this
      directly.
      
        NODE_DATA(nid)->zonelist even if NODE_DATA(nid)==NULL
      
      Then, what's we need is making policy->mems_allowed be aware of
      N_HIGH_MEMORY.  This patch does that.  But to do so, extra nodemask will
      be on statck.  Because I know cpumask has a new interface of
      CPUMASK_ALLOC(), I added it to node.
      
      This patch stands on old behavior.  But I feel this fix itself is just a
      Band-Aid.  But to do fundametal fix, we have to take care of memory
      hotplug and it takes time.  (task->mems_allowd should be N_HIGH_MEMORY, I
      think.)
      
      mpol_set_nodemask() should be aware of N_HIGH_MEMORY and policy's nodemask
      should be includes only online nodes.
      
      In old behavior, this is guaranteed by frequent reference to cpuset's
      code.  Now, most of them are removed and mempolicy has to check it by
      itself.
      
      To do check, a few nodemask_t will be used for calculating nodemask.  But,
      size of nodemask_t can be big and it's not good to allocate them on stack.
      
      Now, cpumask_t has CPUMASK_ALLOC/FREE an easy code for get scratch area.
      NODEMASK_ALLOC/FREE shoudl be there.

      vfs: add __destroy_inode · 2e00c97e
      Christoph Hellwig 提交于
      When we want to tear down an inode that lost the add to the cache race
      in XFS we must not call into ->destroy_inode because that would delete
      the inode that won the race from the inode cache radix tree.
      
      This patch provides the __destroy_inode helper needed to fix this,
      the actual fix will be in th next patch.  As XFS was the only reason
      destroy_inode was exported we shift the export to the new __destroy_inode.

      vfs: fix inode_init_always calling convention · 54e34621
      Christoph Hellwig 提交于
      Currently inode_init_always calls into ->destroy_inode if the additional
      initialization fails.  That's not only counter-intuitive because
      inode_init_always did not allocate the inode structure, but in case of
      XFS it's actively harmful as ->destroy_inode might delete the inode from
      a radix-tree that has never been added.  This in turn might end up
      deleting the inode for the same inum that has been instanciated by
      another process and cause lots of cause subtile problems.
      
      Also in the case of re-initializing a reclaimable inode in XFS it would
      free an inode we still want to keep alive.

      cfg80211: fix regression on beacon world roaming feature · 37184244
      Luis R. Rodriguez 提交于
      A regression was added through patch a4ed90d6:
      
      "cfg80211: respect API on orig_flags on channel for beacon hint"
      
      We did indeed respect _orig flags but the intention was not clearly
      stated in the commit log. This patch fixes firmware issues picked
      up by iwlwifi when we lift passive scan of beaconing restrictions
      on channels its EEPROM has been configured to always enable.
      
      By doing so though we also disallowed beacon hints on devices
      registering their wiphy with custom world regulatory domains
      enabled, this happens to be currently ath5k, ath9k and ar9170.
      The passive scan and beacon restrictions on those devices would
      never be lifted even if we did find a beacon and the hardware did
      support such enhancements when world roaming.
      
      Since Johannes indicates iwlwifi firmware cannot be changed to
      allow beacon hinting we set up a flag now to specifically allow
      drivers to disable beacon hints for devices which cannot use them.
      
      We enable the flag on iwlwifi to disable beacon hints and by default
      enable it for all other drivers. It should be noted beacon hints lift
      passive scan flags and beacon restrictions when we receive a beacon from
      an AP on any 5 GHz non-DFS channels, and channels 12-14 on the 2.4 GHz
      band. We don't bother with channels 1-11 as those channels are allowed
      world wide.
      
      This should fix world roaming for ath5k, ath9k and ar9170, thereby
      improving scan time when we receive the first beacon from any AP,
      and also enabling beaconing operation (AP/IBSS/Mesh) on cards which
      would otherwise not be allowed to do so. Drivers not using custom
      regulatory stuff (wiphy_apply_custom_regulatory()) were not affected
      by this as the orig_flags for the channels would have been cleared
      upon wiphy registration.
      
      I tested this with a world roaming ath5k card.

      make it blank function when rfcomm tty not selected in rfcomm.h
      
      2. tune the rfcomm_init error patch to ensure
      tty driver initilized before rfcomm socket usage.
      
      3. remove __exit for rfcomm_cleanup_sockets
      because above change need call it in a __init function.

      perf_counter: Full task tracing · 9f498cc5
      Peter Zijlstra 提交于
      In order to be able to distinguish between no samples due to
      inactivity and no samples due to task ended, Arjan asked for
      PERF_EVENT_EXIT events. This is useful to the boot delay
      instrumentation (bootchart) app.
      
      This patch changes the PERF_EVENT_FORK to be emitted on every
      clone, and adds PERF_EVENT_EXIT to be emitted on task exit,
      after the task's counters have been closed.
      
      This task tracing is controlled through: attr.comm || attr.mmap
      and through the new attr.task field.
