| * | | Add PR_{GET,SET}_NO_NEW_PRIVS to prevent execve from granting privsAndy Lutomirski2012-04-141-1/+9
| | |/ | |/| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | With this change, calling prctl(PR_SET_NO_NEW_PRIVS, 1, 0, 0, 0) disables privilege granting operations at execve-time. For example, a process will not be able to execute a setuid binary to change their uid or gid if this bit is set. The same is true for file capabilities. Additionally, LSM_UNSAFE_NO_NEW_PRIVS is defined to ensure that LSMs respect the requested behavior. To determine if the NO_NEW_PRIVS bit is set, a task may call prctl(PR_GET_NO_NEW_PRIVS, 0, 0, 0, 0); It returns 1 if set and 0 if it is not set. If any of the arguments are non-zero, it will return -1 and set errno to -EINVAL. (PR_SET_NO_NEW_PRIVS behaves similarly.) This functionality is desired for the proposed seccomp filter patch series. By using PR_SET_NO_NEW_PRIVS, it allows a task to modify the system call behavior for itself and its child tasks without being able to impact the behavior of a more privileged task. Another potential use is making certain privileged operations unprivileged. For example, chroot may be considered "safe" if it cannot affect privileged tasks. Note, this patch causes execve to fail when PR_SET_NO_NEW_PRIVS is set and AppArmor is in use. It is fixed in a subsequent patch.

As suggested, the patch was modified to list the rgrp information _after_ the fields that exist today. Again, the reason for this patch is to allow us to trace and debug problems with the block reservations patch, which is still in the works. We can debug problems with reservations if we can see what block allocations result from the block reservations. It may also be handy in figuring out if there are problems in rgrp free space accounting. In other words, we can use it to track the rgrp and its free space along side the allocations that are taking place.

| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | This cleans up the mode setting code when creating inodes. The SGID bit was being reset by setattr_copy() when the user creating a subdirectory was not in the owning group. When ACLs are in use this SGID bit should have been propagated if the ACL allows creation of a subdirectory. GFS2's behaviour now matches that of the other ACL supporting filesystems in this regard.

| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | gfs2_internal_read accepts an unused ra_state argument, left over from when we did readahead on the rindex.

| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | This is another clean up in the logging code. This per-transaction list was largely unused. Its main function was to ensure that the number of buffers in a transaction was correct, however that counter was only used to check the number of buffers in the bd_list_tr, plus an assert at the end of each transaction. With the assert now changed to use the calculated buffer counts, we can remove both bd_list_tr and its associated counter. This should make the code easier to understand as well as shrinking a couple of structures. Signed-off-by: Steven Whitehouse <swhiteho@redhat.com>
| * | | GFS2: Remove duplicate log codeSteven Whitehouse2012-04-241-116/+59Star
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | The main part of this patch merges the two functions used to write metadata and data buffers to the log. Most of the code is common between the two functions, so this provides a nice clean up, and makes the code more readable. The gfs2_get_log_desc() function is also extended to take two more arguments, and thus avoid having to set the length and data1 fields of this strucuture as a separate operation.

One of those is used when we need to allocate both the data to be written itself and also a buffer head to submit it. This is done via sb_getblk and friends. This is used mostly for writing log headers. The other method is used when writing blocks which have some in-place counterpart. This is the case for all the metadata blocks which are journalled, and when journaled data is in use, for unescaped journalled data blocks. This patch replaces both of those two methods, and about half a dozen separate i/o submission points with a single i/o submission function. We also go direct to bio rather than using buffer heads, since this allows us to build i/o requests of the maximum size for the block device in question. It also reduces the memory required for flushing the log, which can be very useful in low memory situations. Signed-off-by: Steven Whitehouse <swhiteho@redhat.com>

| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | In the future, the qadata structure will be eliminated and merged back in with the block reservation structure, after we extend the lifespan of that. This patch is a step forward in eliminating the qadata structure. It adds a variable to the do_grow function to determine when unstuffing is necessary, and has been done.

| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | In the resource group code, we have no less than three different kinds of block references: block relative to the file system (u64), block relative to the rgrp (u32), and block relative to the bitmap.

It turns out the d_unhashed() check isn't unnecessary after all: while it's true that unhashing will increment the sequence numbers, that does not necessarily invalidate the RCU lookup, because it might have seen the dentry pointer (before it got unhashed), but by the time it loaded the sequence number, it could have seen the *new* sequence number (after it got unhashed). End result: we might look up an unhashed dentry that is about to be freed, with the sequence number never indicating anything bad about it. So checking that the dentry is still hashed (*after* reading the sequence number) is indeed the proper fix, and was never unnecessary.

* | | | vfs: be even more careful about dentry RCU name lookupsLinus Torvalds2012-05-221-2/+15

In particular, doing a rename can do a memcpy() of one dentry name over another, and we want to make sure that any unlocked reader will always see the proper terminating NUL character, so that it won't ever run off the allocation. Rather than having to be extra careful with the name copy or at lookup time for each character, this resolves the issue by making sure that all names that are inlined in the dentry always have a NUL character at the end of the name allocation. If we do that at dentry allocation time, we know that no future name copy will ever change that final NUL to anything else, so there are no memory ordering issues. So even if a concurrent rename ends up overwriting the NUL character that terminates the original name, we always know that there is one final NUL at the end, and there is no worry about the lockless RCU lookup traversing the name too far. The out-of-line allocations are never copied over, so we can just make sure that we write the name (with terminating NULL) and do a write barrier before we expose the name to anything else by setting it in the dentry.

This fixes it to do all the proper helper functions, which not only means that now mandatory file locking works with AIO too, we can actually remove lines of code.

DSBT is similar to FDPIC in allowing shared text segments and private copies of data segments without an MMU. Both methods access data using a base register and offset. With FDPIC, the caller of an external function sets up the base register for the callee. With DSBT, the called function sets up its own base register. Other details differ but both userspaces need the same thing from the kernel loader: a map of where each ELF segment was loaded. The FDPIC loader already provides this, so DSBT just uses it. This patch enables BINFMT_ELF_FDPIC by default for C6X and provides the necessary architecture hooks for the generic loader. Signed-off-by: Mark Salter <msalter@redhat.com>

Part of this is that we can now have BPF filters not attached to sockets, and the loadbalancing function is calculated using one. 7) Francois Romieu went through the network drivers removing gratuitous uses of netdev->base_addr, perhaps some day we can remove it completely but it's used for ISA probing still. 8) Add a BPF JIT for sparc. I know, who cares, right? :-) 9) Move networking sysctl registry away from using the compatability mode interfaces in the sysctl code. From Eric W Biederman. 10) Pavel Emelyanov added a way to save and restore TCP socket state via TCP_REPAIR, TCP_REPAIR_QUEUE, and TCP_QUEUE_SEQ socket options as well as a way to forcefully bind a socket to a port via the sk->sk_reuse value SK_FORCE_REUSE. There is also a TCP_REPAIR_OPTIONS which allows to reinstante the TCP options enabled on the connection. 11) Several enhancements from Eric Dumazet that, in particular, can enhance splice performance on TCP sockets significantly. a) Reset the offset of the per-socket sendmsg page when we know we're the only use of the page in linear_to_page(). b) Add facilities such that skb->data can be backed a page rather than SLAB kmalloc'd memory. In particular devices which were receiving into linear RX buffers can now end up providing paged data. The big result is that code like splice and GRO do not have to copy any more. 12) Allow a pure sender to more gracefully handle ACK backlogs in TCP. What can happen at high rates is that the sender hasn't grown his receive buffer limits at all (he's not receiving data so really doesn't need to), but the non-data ACKs consume receive buffer space. sk_add_backlog() is too aggressive in dropping frames in this case, so relax it's requirements by using the receive buffer plus the send buffer limit as the backlog limit instead of just the former. Also from Eric Dumazet. 13) Add ipv6 support to L2TP, from Benjamin LaHaise, James Chapman, and Chris Elston. 14) Implement TCP early retransmit (RFC 5827), from Yuchung Cheng. Basically, we can start fast retransmit before hiting the dupack threshold under certain conditions. 15) New CODEL active queue management packet scheduler, from Eric Dumazet based upon initial work by Dave Taht. Basically, the big feature is that packets are dropped (or ECN bits are set) based upon how long packets live in the queue, rather than the queue length (which is what RED uses). * git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/davem/net-next: (1341 commits) drivers/net/stmmac: seq_file fix memory leak ipv6/exthdrs: strict Pad1 and PadN check USB: qmi_wwan: Add ZTE (Vodafone) K3520-Z USB: qmi_wwan: Add ZTE (Vodafone) K3765-Z USB: qmi_wwan: Make forced int 4 whitelist generic net/ipv4: replace simple_strtoul with kstrtoul net/ipv4/ipconfig: neaten __setup placement net: qmi_wwan: Add Vodafone/Huawei K5005 support net: cdc_ether: Add ZTE WWAN matches before generic Ethernet ipv6: use skb coalescing in reassembly ipv4: use skb coalescing in defragmentation net: introduce skb_try_coalesce() net:ipv6:fixed space issues relating to operators. net:ipv6:fixed a trailing white space issue. ipv6: disable GSO on sockets hitting dst_allfrag tg3: use netdev_alloc_frag() API net: napi_frags_skb() is static ppp: avoid false drop_monitor false positives ipv6: bool/const conversions phase2 ipx: Remove spurious NULL checking in ipx_ioctl(). ...

Right now only __d_lookup_rcu() takes advantage of this, since that is the case we care most about. The use of anonymous struct/unions hides the alternate 64-bit approach from most users, the exception being a few cases where we initialize a 'struct qstr' with a static initializer. This makes the problematic cases use a new QSTR_INIT() helper function for that (but initializing just the name pointer with a "{ .name = xyzzy }" initializer remains valid, as does just copying another qstr structure).

Admittedly I don't really see gcc ever reloading the value in the middle of the loop, so the ACCESS_ONCE() protects us from a fairly theoretical issue. But better safe than sorry.

The actual dentry removal from the dentry hash chains is totally asynchronous to the __d_lookup_rcu() logic, and we depend on __d_drop() updating the sequence number to invalidate any lookup of an unhashed dentry. So checking d_unhashed() is not incorrect, but it's not useful either: the code has to work correctly even without it. So just remove it. Signed-off-by: Linus Torvalds <torvalds@linux-foundation.org>

The fundamental reason is that we do the returned dentry sequence number check inside __d_lookup_rcu() instead of doing it in the caller. This results in two annoyances: - __d_lookup_rcu() now not only needs to return the dentry and the sequence number that goes along with the lookup, it also needs to return the inode pointer that was validated by that sequence number check. - and because we did the sequence number check early (to validate the name pointer and length) we also couldn't just pass the dentry itself to dentry_cmp(), we had to pass the counted string that contained the name. So that sequence number decision caused two separate ugly calling conventions. Both of these problems would be solved if we just did the sequence number check in the caller instead. There's only one caller, and that caller already has to do the sequence number check for the parent anyway, so just do that. That allows us to stop returning the dentry->d_inode in that in-out argument (pointer-to-pointer-to-inode), so we can make the inode argument just a regular input inode pointer. The caller can just load the inode from dentry->d_inode, and then do the sequence number check after that to make sure that it's synchronized with the name we looked up. And it allows us to just pass in the dentry to dentry_cmp(), which is what all the callers really wanted. Sure, dentry_cmp() has to be a bit careful about the dentry (which is not stable during RCU lookup), but that's actually very simple. And now that dentry_cmp() can clearly see that the first string argument is a dentry, we can use the direct word access for that, instead of the careful unaligned zero-padding. The dentry name is always properly aligned, since it is a single path component that is either embedded into the dentry itself, or was allocated with kmalloc() (see __d_alloc). Finally, this also uninlines the nasty slow-case for dentry comparisons: that one *does* need to do a sequence number check, since it will call in to the low-level filesystems, and we want to give those a stable inode pointer and path component length/start arguments. Doing an extra sequence check for that slow case is not a problem, though. Signed-off-by: Linus Torvalds <torvalds@linux-foundation.org>

The return value of "strncpy_to_user()" is much more obvious than checking an odd error return case from do_getname().
