2013-05-04fs: Fix hang with BSD accounting on frozen filesystemJan Kara1-1/+6
When BSD process accounting is enabled and logs information to a filesystem which gets frozen, system easily becomes unusable because each attempt to account process information blocks. Thus e.g. every task gets blocked in exit. It seems better to drop accounting information (which can already happen when filesystem is running out of space) instead of locking system up. So we just skip the write if the filesystem is frozen. Reported-by: Nikola Ciprich <nikola.ciprich@linuxbox.cz> Signed-off-by: Jan Kara <jack@suse.cz> Signed-off-by: Al Viro <viro@zeniv.linux.org.uk>

2012-10-12vfs: define struct filename and have getname() return itJeff Layton1-2/+2
getname() is intended to copy pathname strings from userspace into a kernel buffer. The result is just a string in kernel space. It would however be quite helpful to be able to attach some ancillary info to the string. For instance, we could attach some audit-related info to reduce the amount of audit-related processing needed. When auditing is enabled, we could also call getname() on the string more than once and not need to recopy it from userspace. This patchset converts the getname()/putname() interfaces to return a struct instead of a string. For now, the struct just tracks the string in kernel space and the original userland pointer for it. Later, we'll add other information to the struct as it becomes convenient. Signed-off-by: Jeff Layton <jlayton@redhat.com> Signed-off-by: Al Viro <viro@zeniv.linux.org.uk>

2009-08-24bsdacct: switch credentials for writing to the accounting fileMichal Schmidt1-1/+7
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.

2008-07-25bsdacct: rename acct_gbls to bsd_acct_structPavel Emelyanov1-2/+2
After I fixed access to task->tgid in kernel/acct.c, Oleg pointed out some bad side effects with this accounting vs pid namespaces interaction. I.e. when some task in pid namespace sets this accounting up, this blocks all the others from doing the same. Restricting this to init namespace only could help, but didn't look a graceful solution. So here is the approach to make this accounting work with pid namespaces properly. The idea is simple - when a task dies it accounts itself in each namespace it is visible from and which set the accounting up. For example here are the commands run and the output of lastcomm from init and sub namespaces: init_ns# accton pacct sub_ns# accton pacct (this is a different file - sub ns is run in a chroot-ed environment) init_ns# cat /dev/null sub_ns# ls /dev/null init_ns# accton sub_ns# accton sub_ns# lastcomm -f pacct ls 0 [136,0] 0.00 secs Thu May 15 10:30 accton 0 [136,0] 0.00 secs Thu May 15 10:30 init_ns# lastcomm -f pacct accton root pts/0 0.00 secs Thu May 15 14:30 << got from sub cat root pts/1 0.00 secs Thu May 15 14:30 ls root pts/0 0.00 secs Thu May 15 14:30 << got from sub accton root pts/1 0.00 secs Thu May 15 14:30 That was the summary, the details are in patches. This patch: It will be visible in pid_namespace.h file, so fix its name to look better outside the acct.c file.

This avoids use of the kernel-internal "xtime" variable directly outside of the actual time-related functions. Instead, use the helper functions that we already have available to us. This doesn't actually change any behaviour, but this will allow us to fix the fact that "xtime" isn't updated very often with CONFIG_NO_HZ (because much of the realtime information is maintained as separate offsets to 'xtime'), which has caused interfaces that use xtime directly to get a time that is out of sync with the real-time clock by up to a third of a second or so.

2006-12-08[PATCH] tty: ->signal->tty lockingPeter Zijlstra1-6/+3
Fix the locking of signal->tty. Use ->sighand->siglock to protect ->signal->tty; this lock is already used by most other members of ->signal/->sighand. And unless we are 'current' or the tasklist_lock is held we need ->siglock to access ->signal anyway. (NOTE: sys_unshare() is broken wrt ->sighand locking rules) Note that tty_mutex is held over tty destruction, so while holding tty_mutex any tty pointer remains valid. Otherwise the lifetime of ttys are governed by their open file handles. This leaves some holes for tty access from signal->tty (or any other non file related tty access). It solves the tty SLAB scribbles we were seeing. (NOTE: the change from group_send_sig_info to __group_send_sig_info needs to be examined by someone familiar with the security framework, I think it is safe given the SEND_SIG_PRIV from other __group_send_sig_info invocations) [schwidefsky@de.ibm.com: 3270 fix] [akpm@osdl.org: various post-viro fixes] Signed-off-by: Peter Zijlstra <a.p.zijlstra@chello.nl> Acked-by: Alan Cox <alan@redhat.com> Cc: Oleg Nesterov <oleg@tv-sign.ru> Cc: Prarit Bhargava <prarit@redhat.com> Cc: Chris Wright <chrisw@sous-sol.org> Cc: Roland McGrath <roland@redhat.com> Cc: Stephen Smalley <sds@tycho.nsa.gov> Cc: James Morris <jmorris@namei.org> Cc: "David S.

2006-10-01[PATCH] csa: convert CONFIG tag for extended accounting routinesJay Lan1-30/+0
There were a few accounting data/macros that are used in CSA but are #ifdef'ed inside CONFIG_BSD_PROCESS_ACCT. This patch is to change those ifdef's from CONFIG_BSD_PROCESS_ACCT to CONFIG_TASK_XACCT. A few defines are moved from kernel/acct.c and include/linux/acct.h to kernel/tsacct.c and include/linux/tsacct_kern.h.

2006-09-29[PATCH] audit/accounting: tty lockingAlan Cox1-1/+5
Add tty locking around the audit and accounting code. The whole current->signal-> locking is all deeply strange but it's for someone else to sort out.
