* user namespace: add unshareSerge E. Hallyn2007-07-162-0/+5
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | This patch enables the unshare of user namespaces. It adds a new clone flag CLONE_NEWUSER and implements copy_user_ns() which resets the current user_struct and adds a new root user (uid == 0) For now, unsharing the user namespace allows a process to reset its user_struct accounting and uid 0 in the new user namespace should be contained using appropriate means, for instance selinux The plan, when the full support is complete (all uid checks covered), is to keep the original user's rights in the original namespace, and let a process become uid 0 in the new namespace, with full capabilities to the new namespace.

* user namespace: add the frameworkCedric Le Goater2007-07-164-1/+62
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Basically, it will allow a process to unshare its user_struct table, resetting at the same time its own user_struct and all the associated accounting. A new root user (uid == 0) is added to the user namespace upon creation. Such root users have full privileges and it seems that theses privileges should be controlled through some means (process capabilities ?) The unshare is not included in this patch. Changes since [try #4]: - Updated get_user_ns and put_user_ns to accept NULL, and get_user_ns to return the namespace. Changes since [try #3]: - moved struct user_namespace to files user_namespace.{c,h} Changes since [try #2]: - removed struct user_namespace* argument from find_user() Changes since [try #1]: - removed struct user_namespace* argument from find_user() - added a root_user per user namespace Signed-off-by: Cedric Le Goater <clg@fr.ibm.com> Signed-off-by: Serge E.

* Audit: add TTY input auditingMiloslav Trmac2007-07-163-0/+48
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Add TTY input auditing, used to audit system administrator's actions. This is required by various security standards such as DCID 6/3 and PCI to provide non-repudiation of administrator's actions and to allow a review of past actions if the administrator seems to overstep their duties or if the system becomes misconfigured for unknown reasons. These requirements do not make it necessary to audit TTY output as well. Compared to an user-space keylogger, this approach records TTY input using the audit subsystem, correlated with other audit events, and it is completely transparent to the user-space application (e.g. the console ioctls still work). TTY input auditing works on a higher level than auditing all system calls within the session, which would produce an overwhelming amount of mostly useless audit events. Add an "audit_tty" attribute, inherited across fork (). Data read from TTYs by process with the attribute is sent to the audit subsystem by the kernel. The audit netlink interface is extended to allow modifying the audit_tty attribute, and to allow sending explanatory audit events from user-space (for example, a shell might send an event containing the final command, after the interactive command-line editing and history expansion is performed, which might be difficult to decipher from the TTY input alone). Because the "audit_tty" attribute is inherited across fork (), it would be set e.g. for sshd restarted within an audited session. To prevent this, the audit_tty attribute is cleared when a process with no open TTY file descriptors (e.g. after daemon startup) opens a TTY. See https://www.redhat.com/archives/linux-audit/2007-June/msg00000.html for a more detailed rationale document for an older version of this patch.

* Improve behaviour of spurious IRQ detectAlan Cox2007-07-161-0/+1
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Currently we handle spurious IRQ activity based upon seeing a lot of invalid interrupts, and we clear things back on the base of lots of valid interrupts. Unfortunately in some cases you get legitimate invalid interrupts caused by timing asynchronicity between the PCI bus and the APIC bus when disabling interrupts and pulling other tricks. In this case although the spurious IRQs are not a problem our unhandled counters didn't clear and they act as a slow running timebomb. (This is effectively what the serial port/tty problem that was fixed by clearing counters when registering a handler showed up) It's easy enough to add a second parameter - time. This means that if we see a regular stream of harmless spurious interrupts which are not harming processing we don't go off and do something stupid like disable the IRQ after a month of running.

* O_CLOEXEC for SCM_RIGHTSUlrich Drepper2007-07-162-0/+4

The patch is once again pretty minimal, it introduces a new flag for recvmsg and passes it just like the existing MSG_CMSG_COMPAT flag. I think this bit is not used otherwise but the networking people will know better. This new flag is not recognized by recvfrom and recv. These functions cannot be used for that purpose and the asymmetry this introduces is not worse than the already existing MSG_CMSG_COMPAT situations. The patch must be applied on the patch which introduced O_CLOEXEC. It has to remove static from the new get_unused_fd_flags function but since scm.c cannot live in a module the function still hasn't to be exported. Here's a test program to make sure the code works.

| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | per-cpu counters presently must iterate over all possible CPUs in the exhaustive percpu_counter_sum(). But it can be much better to only iterate over the presently-online CPUs. To do this, we must arrange for an offlined CPU's count to be spilled into the counter's central count. We can do this for all percpu_counters in the machine by linking them into a single global list and walking that list at CPU_DEAD time. (I hope. Might have race windows in which the percpu_counter_sum() count is inaccurate?)

| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Before calling init_hwif_default, ide_unregister gets lock ide_lock and disables irq. init_hwif_default calls ide_default_io_base which calls pci_get_device and later pci_get_subsys tries to apply for semaphore pci_bus_sem and goes to sleep. Mostly, pci_get_device should be called when irq is turned on. ide_default_io_base just needs find if list pci_devices is empty.

Write via ->write_proc sleeps in copy_from_user(). Module disappears meanwhile. Or, more generically, system call done on /proc file, method supplied by module is called, module dissapeares meanwhile. pde = create_proc_entry() if (!pde) return -ENOMEM; pde->write_proc = ... open write copy_from_user pde = create_proc_entry(); if (!pde) { remove_proc_entry(); return -ENOMEM; /* module unloaded */ } *boom* ========================================== 2. bogo-revoke aka proc_kill_inodes() remove_proc_entry vfs_read proc_kill_inodes [check ->f_op validness] [check ->f_op->read validness] [verify_area, security permissions checks] ->f_op = NULL; if (file->f_op->read) /* ->f_op dereference, boom */ NOTE, NOTE, NOTE: file_operations are proxied for regular files only. Let's see how this scheme behaves, then extend if needed for directories. Directories creators in /proc only set ->owner for them, so proxying for directories may be unneeded. NOTE, NOTE, NOTE: methods being proxied are ->llseek, ->read, ->write, ->poll, ->unlocked_ioctl, ->ioctl, ->compat_ioctl, ->open, ->release. If your in-tree module uses something else, yell on me.

* slob: initial NUMA supportPaul Mundt2007-07-164-65/+117
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | This adds preliminary NUMA support to SLOB, primarily aimed at systems with small nodes (tested all the way down to a 128kB SRAM block), whether asymmetric or otherwise. We follow the same conventions as SLAB/SLUB, preferring current node placement for new pages, or with explicit placement, if a node has been specified. Presently on UP NUMA this has the side-effect of preferring node#0 allocations (since numa_node_id() == 0, though this could be reworked if we could hand off a pfn to determine node placement), so single-CPU NUMA systems will want to place smaller nodes further out in terms of node id. Once a page has been bound to a node (via explicit node id typing), we only do block allocations from partial free pages that have a matching node id in the page flags. The current implementation does have some scalability problems, in that all partial free pages are tracked in the global freelist (with contention due to the single spinlock). However, these are things that are being reworked for SMP scalability first, while things like per-node freelists can easily be built on top of this sort of functionality once it's been added.

| | | | | | | | | | | | | invalidate_mapping_pages() can sometimes take a long time (millions of pages to free). Long enough for the softlockup detector to trigger. We used to have a cond_resched() in there but I took it out because the drop_caches code calls invalidate_mapping_pages() under inode_lock.

* change zonelist order: zonelist order selection logicKAMEZAWA Hiroyuki2007-07-161-0/+5
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Make zonelist creation policy selectable from sysctl/boot option v6. This patch makes NUMA's zonelist (of pgdat) order selectable. Available order are Default(automatic)/ Node-based / Zone-based. [Default Order] The kernel selects Node-based or Zone-based order automatically. [Node-based Order] This policy treats the locality of memory as the most important parameter. Zonelist order is created by each zone's locality. This means lower zones (ex. ZONE_DMA) can be used before higher zone (ex. ZONE_NORMAL) exhausion. IOW. ZONE_DMA will be in the middle of zonelist. current 2.6.21 kernel uses this. Pros. * A user can expect local memory as much as possible. Cons. * lower zone will be exhansted before higher zone. This may cause OOM_KILL. Maybe suitable if ZONE_DMA is relatively big and you never see OOM_KILL because of ZONE_DMA exhaution and you need the best locality. (example) assume 2 node NUMA. node(0) has ZONE_DMA/ZONE_NORMAL, node(1) has ZONE_NORMAL. *node(0)'s memory allocation order: node(0)'s NORMAL -> node(0)'s DMA -> node(1)'s NORMAL. *node(1)'s memory allocation order: node(1)'s NORMAL -> node(0)'s NORMAL -> node(0)'s DMA. [Zone-based order] This policy treats the zone type as the most important parameter. Zonelist order is created by zone-type order. This means lower zone never be used bofere higher zone exhaustion. IOW. ZONE_DMA will be always at the tail of zonelist. Pros. * OOM_KILL(bacause of lower zone) occurs only if the whole zones are exhausted. Cons. * memory locality may not be best. (example) assume 2 node NUMA. node(0) has ZONE_DMA/ZONE_NORMAL, node(1) has ZONE_NORMAL. *node(0)'s memory allocation order: node(0)'s NORMAL -> node(1)'s NORMAL -> node(0)'s DMA. *node(1)'s memory allocation order: node(1)'s NORMAL -> node(0)'s NORMAL -> node(0)'s DMA. bootoption "numa_zonelist_order=" and proc/sysctl is supporetd. command: %echo N > /proc/sys/vm/numa_zonelist_order Will rebuild zonelist in Node-based order. command: %echo Z > /proc/sys/vm/numa_zonelist_order Will rebuild zonelist in Zone-based order.

Make early_uart to use early_param, so uart console can be used earlier. Make it to be bootconsole with CON_BOOT flag, so can use console handover feature. and it will switch to corresponding normal serial console automatically. new command line will be: console=uart8250,io,0x3f8,9600n8 console=uart8250,mmio,0xff5e0000,115200n8 or earlycon=uart8250,io,0x3f8,9600n8 earlycon=uart8250,mmio,0xff5e0000,115200n8 it will print in very early stage: Early serial console at I/O port 0x3f8 (options '9600n8') console [uart0] enabled later for console it will print: console handover: boot [uart0] -> real [ttyS0] Signed-off-by: <yinghai.lu@sun.com> Cc: Andi Kleen <ak@suse.de> Cc: Bjorn Helgaas <bjorn.helgaas@hp.com> Cc: Russell King <rmk@arm.linux.org.uk> Cc: Gerd Hoffmann <kraxel@suse.de> Signed-off-by: Andrew Morton <akpm@linux-foundation.org> Signed-off-by: Linus Torvalds <torvalds@linux-foundation.org>

* lib: add idr_for_each()Kristian Hoegsberg2007-07-161-0/+2
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | This patch adds an iterator function for the idr data structure. Compared to just iterating through the idr with an integer and idr_find, this iterator is (almost, but not quite) linear in the number of elements, as opposed to the number of integers in the range covered by the idr. This makes a difference for sparse idrs, but more importantly, it's a nicer way to iterate through the elements. The drm subsystem is moving to idr for tracking contexts and drawables, and with this change, we can use the idr exclusively for tracking these resources.

This patch allows the ERP IE to be available at assocation time and causes the appropriate actions to be performed earlier.
