* fs: push i_mutex and filemap_write_and_wait down into ->fsync() handlersJosef Bacik2015-05-021-2/+7
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Btrfs needs to be able to control how filemap_write_and_wait_range() is called in fsync to make it less of a painful operation, so push down taking i_mutex and the calling of filemap_write_and_wait() down into the ->fsync() handlers. Some file systems can drop taking the i_mutex altogether it seems, like ext3 and ocfs2. For correctness sake I just pushed everything down in all cases to make sure that we keep the current behavior the same for everybody, and then each individual fs maintainer can make up their mind about what to do from there.

| * virtio: console: return -ENODEV on all read operations after unplugAmit Shah2013-08-141-1/+5
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | commit 96f97a83910cdb9d89d127c5ee523f8fc040a804 upstream. If a port gets unplugged while a user is blocked on read(), -ENODEV is returned. However, subsequent read()s returned 0, indicating there's no host-side connection (but not indicating the device went away). This also happened when a port was unplugged and the user didn't have any blocking operation pending. If the user didn't monitor the SIGIO signal, they won't have a chance to find out if the port went away. Fix by returning -ENODEV on all read()s after the port gets unplugged. write() already behaves this way.

| * virtio: console: fix raising SIGIO after port unplugAmit Shah2013-08-141-3/+5
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | commit 92d3453815fbe74d539c86b60dab39ecdf01bb99 upstream. SIGIO should be sent when a port gets unplugged. It should only be sent to prcesses that have the port opened, and have asked for SIGIO to be delivered. We were clearing out guest_connected before calling send_sigio_to_port(), resulting in a sigio not getting sent to processes. Fix by setting guest_connected to false after invoking the sigio function.

We used to keep the port's char device structs and the /sys entries around till the last reference to the port was dropped. This is actually unnecessary, and resulted in buggy behaviour: 1. Open port in guest 2. Hot-unplug port 3. Hot-plug a port with the same 'name' property as the unplugged one This resulted in hot-plug being unsuccessful, as a port with the same name already exists (even though it was unplugged). This behaviour resulted in a warning message like this one: -------------------8<--------------------------------------- WARNING: at fs/sysfs/dir.c:512 sysfs_add_one+0xc9/0x130() (Not tainted) Hardware name: KVM sysfs: cannot create duplicate filename '/devices/pci0000:00/0000:00:04.0/virtio0/virtio-ports/vport0p1' Call Trace: [<ffffffff8106b607>] ? warn_slowpath_common+0x87/0xc0 [<ffffffff8106b6f6>] ? warn_slowpath_fmt+0x46/0x50 [<ffffffff811f2319>] ? sysfs_add_one+0xc9/0x130 [<ffffffff811f23e8>] ? create_dir+0x68/0xb0 [<ffffffff811f2469>] ? sysfs_create_dir+0x39/0x50 [<ffffffff81273129>] ? kobject_add_internal+0xb9/0x260 [<ffffffff812733d8>] ? kobject_add_varg+0x38/0x60 [<ffffffff812734b4>] ? kobject_add+0x44/0x70 [<ffffffff81349de4>] ? get_device_parent+0xf4/0x1d0 [<ffffffff8134b389>] ? device_add+0xc9/0x650 -------------------8<--------------------------------------- Instead of relying on guest applications to release all references to the ports, we should go ahead and unregister the port from all the core layers.

This causes three bugs. So if we write to /dev/tpm0 with a tpm_param_size bigger than TPM_BUFSIZE=0x1000 (e.g. 0x100a) and a bufsize also bigger than TPM_BUFSIZE (e.g. 0x100a) tpm_transmit returns -E2BIG which is assigned to chip->pending_data as -7, but tpm_write returns that TPM_BUFSIZE bytes have been successfully been written to the TPM, altough this is not true (bug #1). As we did write more than than TPM_BUFSIZE bytes but tpm_write reports that only TPM_BUFSIZE bytes have been written the vfs tries to write the remaining bytes (in this case 10 bytes) to the tpm device driver via tpm_write which then blocks at /* cannot perform a write until the read has cleared either via tpm_read or a user_read_timer timeout */ while (atomic_read(&chip->data_pending) != 0) msleep(TPM_TIMEOUT); for 60 seconds, since data_pending is -7 and nobody is able to read it (since tpm_read luckily checks if data_pending is greater than 0) (#bug 2). After that the remaining bytes are written to the TPM which are interpreted by the tpm as a normal command. (bug #3) So if the last bytes of the command stream happen to be a e.g. tpm_force_clear this gets accidentally sent to the TPM. This patch fixes all three bugs, by propagating the error code of tpm_write and returning -E2BIG if the input buffer is too big, since the response from the tpm for a truncated value is bogus anyway. Moreover it returns -EBUSY to userspace if there is a response ready to be read.

Mixing this data into the random pools has a very high value in providing better random data, so we should allow (and even encourage) architecture code to call add_device_randomness() from the setup_arch() paths.

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().

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).

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.)

If two (or more) user-space processes concurrently read boot_id when sysctl_bootid is not yet assigned, a race can occur making boot_id differ between the reads. Because the whole point of the boot id is to be unique across a kernel execution, fix this by protecting this operation with a spinlock. Given that this operation is not frequently used, hitting the spinlock on each call should not be an issue.

We still don't use rdrand in /dev/random, which just seems stupid. We accept the *cycle*counter* as a random input, but we don't accept rdrand? That's just broken. Sure, people can do things in user space (write to /dev/random, use rdrand in addition to /dev/random themselves etc etc), but that *still* seems to be a particularly stupid reason for saying "we shouldn't bother to try to do better in /dev/random". And even if somebody really doesn't trust rdrand as a source of random bytes, it seems singularly stupid to trust the cycle counter *more*. So I'd suggest the attached patch. I'm not going to even bother arguing that we should add more bits to the entropy estimate, because that's not the point - I don't care if /dev/random fills up slowly or not, I think it's just stupid to not use the bits we can get from rdrand and mix them into the strong randomness pool.

So the periodic regeneration and 8-bit counter have been removed. We compute and use a full 32-bit sequence number.

This happened because given an interval t and a time for the current interrupt m we would compute the next time as t + m. This works until we are delayed for > t, in which case we would be writing a new value which is in fact in the past. This can be solved by computing the next time instead as (k * t) + m where k is large enough to be in the future. The exact computation of k is described in a comment to the code. More detail: Assuming an interval of 5 between each expected interrupt we have a normal case of t0: interrupt, read t0 from comparator, set next interrupt t0 + 5 t5: interrupt, read t5 from comparator, set next interrupt t5 + 5 t10: interrupt, read t10 from comparator, set next interrupt t10 + 5 ... So, what happens when the interrupt is serviced too late? t0: interrupt, read t0 from comparator, set next interrupt t0 + 5 t11: delayed interrupt serviced, read t5 from comparator, set next interrupt t5 + 5, which is in the past! ... counter loops ... t10: Much much later, get the next interrupt. This can happen either because we have interrupts masked for too long (some stupid driver goes on a printk rampage) or just because we are pushing the limits of the interval (too small a period), or both most probably. My solution is to read the main counter as well and set the next interrupt to occur at the right interval, for example: t0: interrupt, read t0 from comparator, set next interrupt t0 + 5 t11: delayed interrupt serviced, read t5 from comparator, set next interrupt t15 as t10 has been missed. t15: back on track.
