| * netfilter: nf_conntrack: fix racy timer handling with reliable eventsPablo Neira Ayuso2012-10-211-0/+1
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | commit 5b423f6a40a0327f9d40bc8b97ce9be266f74368 upstream. Existing code assumes that del_timer returns true for alive conntrack entries. However, this is not true if reliable events are enabled. In that case, del_timer may return true for entries that were just inserted in the dying list. Note that packets / ctnetlink may hold references to conntrack entries that were just inserted to such list. This patch fixes the issue by adding an independent timer for event delivery. This increases the size of the ecache extension. Still we can revisit this later and use variable size extensions to allocate this area on demand.

* | block: prepare I/O context code for BFQ-v5 for 3.0Arianna Avanzini2012-10-151-3/+15
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | BFQ uses struct cfq_io_context to store its per-process per-device data, reusing the same code for cic handling of CFQ. The code is not shared ATM to minimize the impact of these patches. This patch introduces a new hlist to each io_context to store all the cic's allocated by BFQ to allow calling the right destructor on module unload; the radix tree used for cic lookup needs to be duplicated because it can contain dead keys inserted by a scheduler and later retrieved by the other one. Update the io_context exit and free paths to take care also of the BFQ cic's. Change the type of cfqq inside struct cfq_io_context to void * to use it also for BFQ per-queue data. A new bfq-specific ioprio_changed field is necessary, too, to avoid clobbering cfq's one, so switch ioprio_changed to a bitmap, with one element per scheduler.

| * mempolicy: fix a race in shared_policy_replace()Mel Gorman2012-10-131-1/+1
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | commit b22d127a39ddd10d93deee3d96e643657ad53a49 upstream. shared_policy_replace() use of sp_alloc() is unsafe. 1) sp_node cannot be dereferenced if sp->lock is not held and 2) another thread can modify sp_node between spin_unlock for allocating a new sp node and next spin_lock. The bug was introduced before 2.6.12-rc2. Kosaki's original patch for this problem was to allocate an sp node and policy within shared_policy_replace and initialise it when the lock is reacquired. I was not keen on this approach because it partially duplicates sp_alloc(). As the paths were sp->lock is taken are not that performance critical this patch converts sp->lock to sp->mutex so it can sleep when calling sp_alloc().

| * xfrm_user: ensure user supplied esn replay window is validMathias Krause2012-10-131-0/+2
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | [ Upstream commit ecd7918745234e423dd87fcc0c077da557909720 ] The current code fails to ensure that the netlink message actually contains as many bytes as the header indicates. If a user creates a new state or updates an existing one but does not supply the bytes for the whole ESN replay window, the kernel copies random heap bytes into the replay bitmap, the ones happen to follow the XFRMA_REPLAY_ESN_VAL netlink attribute. This leads to following issues: 1. The replay window has random bits set confusing the replay handling code later on. 2. A malicious user could use this flaw to leak up to ~3.5kB of heap memory when she has access to the XFRM netlink interface (requires CAP_NET_ADMIN). Known users of the ESN replay window are strongSwan and Steffen's iproute2 patch (<http://patchwork.ozlabs.org/patch/85962/>). The latter uses the interface with a bitmap supplied while the former does not. strongSwan is therefore prone to run into issue 1. To fix both issues without breaking existing userland allow using the XFRMA_REPLAY_ESN_VAL netlink attribute with either an empty bitmap or a fully specified one. For the former case we initialize the in-kernel bitmap with zero, for the latter we copy the user supplied bitmap. For state updates the full bitmap must be supplied. To prevent overflows in the bitmap length calculation the maximum size of bmp_len is limited to 128 by this patch -- resulting in a maximum replay window of 4096 packets. This should be sufficient for all real life scenarios (RFC 4303 recommends a default replay window size of 64).

| * xfrm: Workaround incompatibility of ESN and async cryptoSteffen Klassert2012-10-131-0/+3
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | [ Upstream commit 3b59df46a449ec9975146d71318c4777ad086744 ] ESN for esp is defined in RFC 4303. This RFC assumes that the sequence number counters are always up to date. However, this is not true if an async crypto algorithm is employed. If the sequence number counters are not up to date on sequence number check, we may incorrectly update the upper 32 bit of the sequence number. This leads to a DOS. We workaround this by comparing the upper sequence number, (used for authentication) with the upper sequence number computed after the async processing. We drop the packet if these numbers are different. To do this, we introduce a recheck function that does this check in the ESN case.

Previously, these large timeouts would be clamped to KTIME_MAX and would never expire, which is valid. This patch splits the ktime_t overflow checking into a new timespec_valid_strict function, and converts the timekeeping codes internal checking to use this more strict function.

Also unexpected behavior could occur if large negative offsets are injected via adjtimex. So this patch improves the sanity check timekeeping inputs by improving the timespec_valid() check, and then makes better use of timespec_valid() to make sure we don't set the time to an invalid negative value or one that overflows ktime_t. Note: This does not protect from setting the time close to overflowing ktime_t and then letting natural accumulation cause the overflow.

Looking at all that I found a lack of serialization and plain wrong comments. The below tries to fix it using an extra pointer which is updated under the appropriate scheduler locks.

ARM recently moved to asm-generic/mutex-xchg.h for its mutex implementation after the previous implementation was found to be missing some crucial memory barriers. However, this has revealed some problems running hackbench on SMP platforms due to the way in which the MUTEX_SPIN_ON_OWNER code operates. The symptoms are that a bunch of hackbench tasks are left waiting on an unlocked mutex and therefore never get woken up to claim it. This boils down to the following sequence of events: Task A Task B Task C Lock value 0 1 1 lock() 0 2 lock() 0 3 spin(A) 0 4 unlock() 1 5 lock() 0 6 cmpxchg(1,0) 0 7 contended() -1 8 lock() 0 9 spin(C) 0 10 unlock() 1 11 cmpxchg(1,0) 0 12 unlock() 1 At this point, the lock is unlocked, but Task B is in an uninterruptible sleep with nobody to wake it up. This patch fixes the problem by ensuring we put the lock into the contended state if we fail to acquire it on the fastpath, ensuring that any blocked waiters are woken up when the mutex is released.

When the NFS_COOKIEVERF helper macro was converted into a static inline function in commit 99fadcd764 (nfs: convert NFS_*(inode) helpers to static inline), we broke the initialisation of the readdir cookies, since that depended on doing a memset with an argument of 'sizeof(NFS_COOKIEVERF(inode))' which therefore changed from sizeof(be32 cookieverf[2]) to sizeof(be32 *). At this point, NFS_COOKIEVERF seems to be more of an obfuscation than a helper, so the best thing would be to just get rid of it.

I found following definition in include/linux/memory.h, in my IA64 platform, SECTION_SIZE_BITS is equal to 32, and MIN_MEMORY_BLOCK_SIZE will be 0. #define MIN_MEMORY_BLOCK_SIZE (1 << SECTION_SIZE_BITS) Because MIN_MEMORY_BLOCK_SIZE is int type and length of 32bits, so MIN_MEMORY_BLOCK_SIZE(1 << 32) will will equal to 0. Actually when SECTION_SIZE_BITS >= 31, MIN_MEMORY_BLOCK_SIZE will be wrong. This will cause wrong system memory infomation in sysfs. I think it should be: #define MIN_MEMORY_BLOCK_SIZE (1UL << SECTION_SIZE_BITS) And "echo offline > memory0/state" will cause following call trace: kernel BUG at mm/memory_hotplug.c:885! sh[6455]: bugcheck! 0 [1] Pid: 6455, CPU 0, comm: sh psr : 0000101008526030 ifs : 8000000000000fa4 ip : [<a0000001008c40f0>] Not tainted (3.6.0-rc1) ip is at offline_pages+0x210/0xee0 Call Trace: show_stack+0x80/0xa0 show_regs+0x640/0x920 die+0x190/0x2c0 die_if_kernel+0x50/0x80 ia64_bad_break+0x3d0/0x6e0 ia64_native_leave_kernel+0x0/0x270 offline_pages+0x210/0xee0 alloc_pages_current+0x180/0x2a0 Signed-off-by: Jianguo Wu <wujianguo@huawei.com> Signed-off-by: Jiang Liu <jiang.liu@huawei.com> Cc: "Luck, Tony" <tony.luck@intel.com> Reviewed-by: Michal Hocko <mhocko@suse.cz> Signed-off-by: Andrew Morton <akpm@linux-foundation.org> Signed-off-by: Linus Torvalds <torvalds@linux-foundation.org> Signed-off-by: Greg Kroah-Hartman <gregkh@linuxfoundation.org>

I had a hard time trying to disable it anyway ;-) The problem this time is lots of code assuming that a call to add_uevent_var() will guarantee that env->buflen > 0. This is not true if CONFIG_HOTPLUG is unset. So things like this end up overwriting env->envp_idx because the array index is -1: if (add_uevent_var(env, "MODALIAS=")) return -ENOMEM; len = input_print_modalias(&env->buf[env->buflen - 1], sizeof(env->buf) - env->buflen, dev, 0); Don't know what the best action is, given that there seem to be a *lot* of this around the kernel. This patch "fixes" the problem for me, but I don't know if it can be considered an appropriate fix.

The nfs sillyrename fix used DCACHE_DISCONNECTED to indicate that the dentry was killed. This flag can be set on non-killed dentries too, which results in infinite retries when trying to traverse the dentry tree. This patch introduces a separate flag: DCACHE_DENTRY_KILLED, which is only set in d_kill() and makes try_to_ascend() test only this flag. IBM reported successful test results with this patch.

| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | [ Upstream commit 30b678d844af3305cda5953467005cebb5d7b687 ] A peer (or local user) may cause TCP to use a nominal MSS of as little as 88 (actual MSS of 76 with timestamps). Given that we have a sufficiently prodigious local sender and the peer ACKs quickly enough, it is nevertheless possible to grow the window for such a connection to the point that we will try to send just under 64K at once. This results in a single skb that expands to 861 segments. In some drivers with TSO support, such an skb will require hundreds of DMA descriptors; a substantial fraction of a TX ring or even more than a full ring. The TX queue selected for the skb may stall and trigger the TX watchdog repeatedly (since the problem skb will be retried after the TX reset). This particularly affects sfc, for which the issue is designated as CVE-2012-3412. Therefore: 1. Add the field net_device::gso_max_segs holding the device-specific limit. 2. In netif_skb_features(), if the number of segments is too high then mask out GSO features to force fall back to software GSO.

If it doesn't do this in a timely manner, the request is discarded silently. We serialize the feature requests, that is, there is always only a single active feature-request sent to user-space, other requests have to wait. HIDP and USB-HID do it the same way. Because we discard feature-requests silently, we must make sure to match a response to the corresponding request. We use sequence-IDs for this so user-space must copy the ID from the request into the answer. Feature-answers are ignored if they do not contain the same ID as the currently pending feature request. Internally, we must make sure that feature-requests are synchronized with UHID_DESTROY and close() events. We must not dead-lock when closing the HID device, either, so we have to use separate locks.

If the buffer is full, the message is discarded. uhid_queue_event() is an helper for messages without payload. This also adds a public header: uhid.h. It contains the declarations for the user-space API. It is built around "struct uhid_event" which contains a type field which specifies the event type and each event can then add a variable-length payload.

Create a new function, get_random_bytes_arch() which will use the architecture-specific hardware random number generator if it is present. Change get_random_bytes() to not use the HW RNG, even if it is avaiable. The reason for this is that the hw random number generator is fast (if it is present), but it requires that we trust the hardware manufacturer to have not put in a back door. (For example, an increasing counter encrypted by an AES key known to the NSA.) It's unlikely that Intel (for example) was paid off by the US Government to do this, but it's impossible for them to prove otherwise --- especially since Bull Mountain is documented to use AES as a whitener. Hence, the output of an evil, trojan-horse version of RDRAND is statistically indistinguishable from an RDRAND implemented to the specifications claimed by Intel. Short of using a tunnelling electronic microscope to reverse engineer an Ivy Bridge chip and disassembling and analyzing the CPU microcode, there's no way for us to tell for sure. Since users of get_random_bytes() in the Linux kernel need to be able to support hardware systems where the HW RNG is not present, most time-sensitive users of this interface have already created their own cryptographic RNG interface which uses get_random_bytes() as a seed. So it's much better to use the HW RNG to improve the existing random number generator, by mixing in any entropy returned by the HW RNG into /dev/random's entropy pool, but to always _use_ /dev/random's entropy pool. This way we get almost of the benefits of the HW RNG without any potential liabilities. The only benefits we forgo is the speed/performance enhancements --- and generic kernel code can't depend on depend on get_random_bytes() having the speed of a HW RNG anyway. For those places that really want access to the arch-specific HW RNG, if it is available, we provide get_random_bytes_arch().

| * | random: create add_device_randomness() interfaceLinus Torvalds2012-08-151-0/+1
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | commit a2080a67abe9e314f9e9c2cc3a4a176e8a8f8793 upstream. Add a new interface, add_device_randomness() for adding data to the random pool that is likely to differ between two devices (or possibly even per boot). This would be things like MAC addresses or serial numbers, or the read-out of the RTC. This does *not* add any actual entropy to the pool, but it initializes the pool to different values for devices that might otherwise be identical and have very little entropy available to them (particularly common in the embedded world).

| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | commit 775f4b297b780601e61787b766f306ed3e1d23eb upstream. We've been moving away from add_interrupt_randomness() for various reasons: it's too expensive to do on every interrupt, and flooding the CPU with interrupts could theoretically cause bogus floods of entropy from a somewhat externally controllable source. This solves both problems by limiting the actual randomness addition to just once a second or after 64 interrupts, whicever comes first. During that time, the interrupt cycle data is buffered up in a per-cpu pool. Also, we make sure the the nonblocking pool used by urandom is initialized before we start feeding the normal input pool. This assures that /dev/urandom is returning unpredictable data as soon as possible. (Based on an original patch by Linus, but significantly modified by tytso.)
