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): http://www.kerneloops.org/oops.php?number=252883Signed-off-by: NDavid Howells <dhowells@redhat.com> Signed-off-by: NJames Morris <jmorris@namei.org>

When process accounting is enabled, every exiting process writes a log to the account file. In addition, every once in a while one of the exiting processes checks whether there's enough free space for the log. SELinux policy may or may not allow the exiting process to stat the fs. So unsuspecting processes start generating AVC denials just because someone enabled process accounting. For these filesystem operations, the exiting process's credentials should be temporarily switched to that of the process which enabled accounting, because it's really that process which wanted to have the accounting information logged.

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.

In general, code in perf_counter.c that is called through an IPI checks, for per-task counters, that the counter's task is still the current task. This is to handle the race condition where the cpu switches from the task we want to another task in the interval between sending the IPI and the IPI arriving and being handled on the target CPU. For some reason, __perf_counter_read is missing this check, yet there is no reason why the race condition can't occur. This adds a check that the current task is the one we want. If it isn't, we just return. In that case the counter->count value should be up to date, since it will have been updated when the counter was scheduled out, which must have happened since the IPI was sent. I don't have an example of an actual failure due to this race, but it seems obvious that it could occur and we need to guard against it.

Currently SELinux enforcement of controls on the ability to map low memory is determined by the mmap_min_addr tunable. This patch causes SELinux to ignore the tunable and instead use a seperate Kconfig option specific to how much space the LSM should protect. The tunable will now only control the need for CAP_SYS_RAWIO and SELinux permissions will always protect the amount of low memory designated by CONFIG_LSM_MMAP_MIN_ADDR. This allows users who need to disable the mmap_min_addr controls (usual reason being they run WINE as a non-root user) to do so and still have SELinux controls preventing confined domains (like a web server) from being able to map some area of low memory.

free_irq() can remove an irqaction while the corresponding interrupt is in progress, but free_irq() sets action->thread to NULL unconditionally, which might lead to a NULL pointer dereference in handle_IRQ_event() when the hard interrupt context tries to wake up the handler thread. Prevent this by moving the thread stop after synchronize_irq(). No need to set action->thread to NULL either as action is going to be freed anyway. This fixes a boot crash reported against preempt-rt which uses the mainline irq threads code to implement full irq threading.

commit fd51d251 Author: Stefan Raspl <raspl@linux.vnet.ibm.com> Date: Tue May 19 09:59:08 2009 +0200 blktrace: remove debugfs entries on bad path added in an explicit invocation of debugfs_remove for bt->dir, in blk_remove_buf_file_callback we are also getting the directory removed. On occasion I am seeing memory corruption that I have bisected down to this commit. [The testing involves a (long) series of I/O benchmarks with blktrace invoked around the actual runs.] I believe that this committed patch is correct, but the problem actually lies in the code in blk_remove_buf_file_callback. With this patch I am able to consistently get complete runs whereas previously I could not get a single run to complete. The first part of the patch simply moves the debugfs_remove below the relay_close: the relay_close call will remove files under bt->dir, and so we should not remove the directory until all the files we created have been removed. (Note: This is not sufficient to fix the problem - the file system code has ref counts on the directoy, so our invocation does not cause the directory to actually be removed. Nonetheless, we should not rely upon that feature.) Signed-off-by: NAlan D. Brunelle <alan.brunelle@hp.com> Signed-off-by: NJens Axboe <jens.axboe@oracle.com>

futex_requeue() can acquire the lock on behalf of a waiter early on or during the requeue loop if it is uncontended or in the event of a lock steal or owner died. On wakeup, the waiter (in futex_wait_requeue_pi()) cleans up the pi_state owner using the lock_ptr to protect against concurrent access to the pi_state. The pi_state is hung off futex_q's on the requeue target futex hash bucket so the lock_ptr needs to be updated accordingly. The problem manifested by triggering the WARN_ON in lookup_pi_state() about the pid != pi_state->owner->pid. With this patch, the pi_state is properly guarded against concurrent access via the requeue target hb lock. The astute reviewer may notice that there is a window of time between when futex_requeue() unlocks the hb locks and when futex_wait_requeue_pi() will acquire hb2->lock. During this time the pi_state and uval are not in sync with the underlying rtmutex owner (but the uval does indicate there are waiters, so no atomic changes will occur in userspace). However, this is not a problem. Should a contending thread enter lookup_pi_state() and acquire hb2->lock before the ownership is fixed up, it will find the pi_state hung off a waiter's (possibly the pending owner's) futex_q and block on the rtmutex. Once futex_wait_requeue_pi() fixes up the owner, it will also move the pi_state from the old owner's task->pi_state_list to its own. v3: Fix plist lock name for application to mainline (rather than -rt) Compile tested against tip/v2.6.31-rc5.

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.

TP_perf_assign( __perf_count(foo); __perf_addr(bar); ) Which, when specified make the swcounter increment with @foo instead of the usual 1, and report @bar for PERF_SAMPLE_ADDR (data address associated with the event) when this triggers a counter overflow.

When the process exits we don't have to run new cputimer nor use running one (as it not accounts when tsk->exit_state != 0) to get process CPU times. As there is only one thread we can just use CPU times fields from task and signal structs.

If filter_add_subsystem_pred() fails due to ENOSPC or ENOMEM, the pred doesn't get freed, while as a side effect it does for other errors. Make it so the caller always frees the pred for any error.

While looking at Jens Rosenboom bug report (http://lkml.org/lkml/2009/7/27/35) about strange sys_futex call done from a dying "ps" program, we found following problem. clone() syscall has special support for TID of created threads. This support includes two features. One (CLONE_CHILD_SETTID) is to set an integer into user memory with the TID value. One (CLONE_CHILD_CLEARTID) is to clear this same integer once the created thread dies. The integer location is a user provided pointer, provided at clone() time. kernel keeps this pointer value into current->clear_child_tid. At execve() time, we should make sure kernel doesnt keep this user provided pointer, as full user memory is replaced by a new one. As glibc fork() actually uses clone() syscall with CLONE_CHILD_SETTID and CLONE_CHILD_CLEARTID set, chances are high that we might corrupt user memory in forked processes. Following sequence could happen: 1) bash (or any program) starts a new process, by a fork() call that glibc maps to a clone( ... CLONE_CHILD_SETTID | CLONE_CHILD_CLEARTID ...) syscall 2) When new process starts, its current->clear_child_tid is set to a location that has a meaning only in bash (or initial program) context (&THREAD_SELF->tid) 3) This new process does the execve() syscall to start a new program. current->clear_child_tid is left unchanged (a non NULL value) 4) If this new program creates some threads, and initial thread exits, kernel will attempt to clear the integer pointed by current->clear_child_tid from mm_release() : if (tsk->clear_child_tid && !(tsk->flags & PF_SIGNALED) && atomic_read(&mm->mm_users) > 1) { u32 __user * tidptr = tsk->clear_child_tid; tsk->clear_child_tid = NULL; /* * We don't check the error code - if userspace has * not set up a proper pointer then tough luck. */ << here >> put_user(0, tidptr); sys_futex(tidptr, FUTEX_WAKE, 1, NULL, NULL, 0); } 5) OR : if new program is not multi-threaded, but spied by /proc/pid users (ps command for example), mm_users > 1, and the exiting program could corrupt 4 bytes in a persistent memory area (shm or memory mapped file) If current->clear_child_tid points to a writeable portion of memory of the new program, kernel happily and silently corrupts 4 bytes of memory, with unexpected effects. Fix is straightforward and should not break any sane program.

When calling rb_buffer_peek() from ring_buffer_consume() and a padding event is returned, the function rb_advance_reader() is called twice. This may lead to missing samples or under high workloads to the warning below. This patch fixes this. If a padding event is returned by rb_buffer_peek() it will be consumed by the calling function now. Also, I simplified some code in ring_buffer_consume(). ------------[ cut here ]------------ WARNING: at /dev/shm/.source/linux/kernel/trace/ring_buffer.c:2289 rb_advance_reader+0x2e/0xc5() Hardware name: Anaheim Modules linked in: Pid: 29, comm: events/2 Tainted: G W 2.6.31-rc3-oprofile-x86_64-standard-00059-g5050dc2 #1 Call Trace: [<ffffffff8106776f>] ? rb_advance_reader+0x2e/0xc5 [<ffffffff81039ffe>] warn_slowpath_common+0x77/0x8f [<ffffffff8103a025>] warn_slowpath_null+0xf/0x11 [<ffffffff8106776f>] rb_advance_reader+0x2e/0xc5 [<ffffffff81068bda>] ring_buffer_consume+0xa0/0xd2 [<ffffffff81326933>] op_cpu_buffer_read_entry+0x21/0x9e [<ffffffff810be3af>] ? __find_get_block+0x4b/0x165 [<ffffffff8132749b>] sync_buffer+0xa5/0x401 [<ffffffff810be3af>] ? __find_get_block+0x4b/0x165 [<ffffffff81326c1b>] ? wq_sync_buffer+0x0/0x78 [<ffffffff81326c76>] wq_sync_buffer+0x5b/0x78 [<ffffffff8104aa30>] worker_thread+0x113/0x1ac [<ffffffff8104dd95>] ? autoremove_wake_function+0x0/0x38 [<ffffffff8104a91d>] ? worker_thread+0x0/0x1ac [<ffffffff8104dc9a>] kthread+0x88/0x92 [<ffffffff8100bdba>] child_rip+0xa/0x20 [<ffffffff8104dc12>] ? kthread+0x0/0x92 [<ffffffff8100bdb0>] ? child_rip+0x0/0x20 ---[ end trace f561c0a58fcc89bd ]--- Cc: Steven Rostedt <rostedt@goodmis.org> Cc: <stable@kernel.org> Signed-off-by: NRobert Richter <robert.richter@amd.com> Signed-off-by: NIngo Molnar <mingo@elte.hu>

In the event of a lock steal or owner died, rt_mutex_start_proxy_lock() will give the rt_mutex to the waiting task, but it fails to release the wait_lock. This leads to subsequent deadlocks when other tasks try to acquire the rt_mutex. I also removed a few extra blank lines that really spaced this routine out. I must have been high on the \n when I wrote this originally...
