2013-09-25KEYS: Add a 'trusted' flag and a 'trusted only' flagDavid Howells1-1/+3
Add KEY_FLAG_TRUSTED to indicate that a key either comes from a trusted source or had a cryptographic signature chain that led back to a trusted key the kernel already possessed. Add KEY_FLAGS_TRUSTED_ONLY to indicate that a keyring will only accept links to keys marked with KEY_FLAGS_TRUSTED.

2013-09-24KEYS: Add per-user_namespace registers for persistent per-UID kerberos cachesDavid Howells2-0/+10
Add support for per-user_namespace registers of persistent per-UID kerberos caches held within the kernel. This allows the kerberos cache to be retained beyond the life of all a user's processes so that the user's cron jobs can work. The kerberos cache is envisioned as a keyring/key tree looking something like: struct user_namespace \___ .krb_cache keyring - The register \___ _krb.0 keyring - Root's Kerberos cache \___ _krb.5000 keyring - User 5000's Kerberos cache \___ _krb.5001 keyring - User 5001's Kerberos cache \___ tkt785 big_key - A ccache blob \___ tkt12345 big_key - Another ccache blob Or possibly: struct user_namespace \___ .krb_cache keyring - The register \___ _krb.0 keyring - Root's Kerberos cache \___ _krb.5000 keyring - User 5000's Kerberos cache \___ _krb.5001 keyring - User 5001's Kerberos cache \___ tkt785 keyring - A ccache \___ krbtgt/REDHAT.COM@REDHAT.COM big_key \___ http/REDHAT.COM@REDHAT.COM user \___ afs/REDHAT.COM@REDHAT.COM user \___ nfs/REDHAT.COM@REDHAT.COM user \___ krbtgt/KERNEL.ORG@KERNEL.ORG big_key \___ http/KERNEL.ORG@KERNEL.ORG big_key What goes into a particular Kerberos cache is entirely up to userspace. Kernel support is limited to giving you the Kerberos cache keyring that you want. The user asks for their Kerberos cache by: krb_cache = keyctl_get_krbcache(uid, dest_keyring); The uid is -1 or the user's own UID for the user's own cache or the uid of some other user's cache (requires CAP_SETUID). This permits rpc.gssd or whatever to mess with the cache. The cache returned is a keyring named "_krb.<uid>" that the possessor can read, search, clear, invalidate, unlink from and add links to. Active LSMs get a chance to rule on whether the caller is permitted to make a link. Each uid's cache keyring is created when it first accessed and is given a timeout that is extended each time this function is called so that the keyring goes away after a while. The timeout is configurable by sysctl but defaults to three days. Each user_namespace struct gets a lazily-created keyring that serves as the register. The cache keyrings are added to it. This means that standard key search and garbage collection facilities are available. The user_namespace struct's register goes away when it does and anything left in it is then automatically gc'd.

git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/rafael/linux-pm Pull ACPI and power management fixes from Rafael Wysocki: "All of these commits are fixes that have emerged recently and some of them fix bugs introduced during this merge window. Specifics: 1) ACPI-based PCI hotplug (ACPIPHP) fixes related to spurious events After the recent ACPIPHP changes we've seen some interesting breakage on a system that triggers device check notifications during boot for non-existing devices. Although those notifications are really spurious, we should be able to deal with them nevertheless and that shouldn't introduce too much overhead. Four commits to make that work properly. 2) Memory hotplug and hibernation mutual exclusion rework This was maent to be a cleanup, but it happens to fix a classical ABBA deadlock between system suspend/hibernation and ACPI memory hotplug which is possible if they are started roughly at the same time. Three commits rework memory hotplug so that it doesn't acquire pm_mutex and make hibernation use device_hotplug_lock which prevents it from racing with memory hotplug. 3) ACPI Intel LPSS (Low-Power Subsystem) driver crash fix The ACPI LPSS driver crashes during boot on Apple Macbook Air with Haswell that has slightly unusual BIOS configuration in which one of the LPSS device's _CRS method doesn't return all of the information expected by the driver. Fix from Mika Westerberg, for stable. 4) ACPICA fix related to Store->ArgX operation AML interpreter fix for obscure breakage that causes AML to be executed incorrectly on some machines (observed in practice). From Bob Moore. 5) ACPI core fix for PCI ACPI device objects lookup There still are cases in which there is more than one ACPI device object matching a given PCI device and we don't choose the one that the BIOS expects us to choose, so this makes the lookup take more criteria into account in those cases. 6) Fix to prevent cpuidle from crashing in some rare cases If the result of cpuidle_get_driver() is NULL, which can happen on some systems, cpuidle_driver_ref() will crash trying to use that pointer and the Daniel Fu's fix prevents that from happening. 7) cpufreq fixes related to CPU hotplug Stephen Boyd reported a number of concurrency problems with cpufreq related to CPU hotplug which are addressed by a series of fixes from Srivatsa S Bhat and Viresh Kumar. 8) cpufreq fix for time conversion in time_in_state attribute Time conversion carried out by cpufreq when user space attempts to read /sys/devices/system/cpu/cpu*/cpufreq/stats/time_in_state won't work correcty if cputime_t doesn't map directly to jiffies. Fix from Andreas Schwab. 9) Revert of a troublesome cpufreq commit Commit 7c30ed5 (cpufreq: make sure frequency transitions are serialized) was intended to address some known concurrency problems in cpufreq related to the ordering of transitions, but unfortunately it introduced several problems of its own, so I decided to revert it now and address the original problems later in a more robust way. 10) Intel Haswell CPU models for intel_pstate from Nell Hardcastle. 11) cpufreq fixes related to system suspend/resume The recent cpufreq changes that made it preserve CPU sysfs attributes over suspend/resume cycles introduced a possible NULL pointer dereference that caused it to crash during the second attempt to suspend. Three commits from Srivatsa S Bhat fix that problem and a couple of related issues. 12) cpufreq locking fix cpufreq_policy_restore() should acquire the lock for reading, but it acquires it for writing.

2013-09-11panic: call panic handlers before kmsg_dumpKees Cook1-2/+6
Since the panic handlers may produce additional information (via printk) for the kernel log, it should be reported as part of the panic output saved by kmsg_dump(). Without this re-ordering, nothing that adds information to a panic will show up in pstore's view when kmsg_dump runs, and is therefore not visible to crash reporting tools that examine pstore output.

2013-09-11__ptrace_may_access() should not deny sub-threadsMark Grondona1-1/+1
__ptrace_may_access() checks get_dumpable/ptrace_has_cap/etc if task != current, this can can lead to surprising results. For example, a sub-thread can't readlink("/proc/self/exe") if the executable is not readable. setup_new_exec()->would_dump() notices that inode_permission(MAY_READ) fails and then it does set_dumpable(suid_dumpable). After that get_dumpable() fails.

2013-09-11kprobes: allow to specify custom allocator for insn cachesHeiko Carstens1-2/+18
The current two insn slot caches both use module_alloc/module_free to allocate and free insn slot cache pages. For s390 this is not sufficient since there is the need to allocate insn slots that are either within the vmalloc module area or within dma memory. Therefore add a mechanism which allows to specify an own allocator for an own insn slot cache.

2013-09-11kprobes: unify insn cachesHeiko Carstens1-54/+21
The current kpropes insn caches allocate memory areas for insn slots with module_alloc(). The assumption is that the kernel image and module area are both within the same +/- 2GB memory area. This however is not true for s390 where the kernel image resides within the first 2GB (DMA memory area), but the module area is far away in the vmalloc area, usually somewhere close below the 4TB area. For new pc relative instructions s390 needs insn slots that are within +/- 2GB of each area. That way we can patch displacements of pc-relative instructions within the insn slots just like x86 and powerpc. The module area works already with the normal insn slot allocator, however there is currently no way to get insn slots that are within the first 2GB on s390 (aka DMA area). Therefore this patch set modifies the kprobes insn slot cache code in order to allow to specify a custom allocator for the insn slot cache pages. In addition architecure can now have private insn slot caches withhout the need to modify common code. Patch 1 unifies and simplifies the current insn and optinsn caches implementation. This is a preparation which allows to add more insn caches in a simple way. Patch 2 adds the possibility to specify a custom allocator. Patch 3 makes s390 use the new insn slot mechanisms and adds support for pc-relative instructions with long displacements. This patch (of 3): The two insn caches (insn, and optinsn) each have an own mutex and alloc/free functions (get_[opt]insn_slot() / free_[opt]insn_slot()). Since there is the need for yet another insn cache which satifies dma allocations on s390, unify and simplify the current implementation: - Move the per insn cache mutex into struct kprobe_insn_cache. - Move the alloc/free functions to kprobe.h so they are simply wrappers for the generic __get_insn_slot/__free_insn_slot functions. The implementation is done with a DEFINE_INSN_CACHE_OPS() macro which provides the alloc/free functions for each cache if needed. - move the struct kprobe_insn_cache to kprobe.h which allows to generate architecture specific insn slot caches outside of the core kprobes code.

2013-09-11kernel-wide: fix missing validations on __get/__put/__copy_to/__copy_from_user()Mathieu Desnoyers1-2/+2
I found the following pattern that leads in to interesting findings: grep -r "ret.*|=.*__put_user" * grep -r "ret.*|=.*__get_user" * grep -r "ret.*|=.*__copy" * The __put_user() calls in compat_ioctl.c, ptrace compat, signal compat, since those appear in compat code, we could probably expect the kernel addresses not to be reachable in the lower 32-bit range, so I think they might not be exploitable. For the "__get_user" cases, I don't think those are exploitable: the worse that can happen is that the kernel will copy kernel memory into in-kernel buffers, and will fail immediately afterward. The alpha csum_partial_copy_from_user() seems to be missing the access_ok() check entirely. The fix is inspired from x86. This could lead to information leak on alpha. I also noticed that many architectures map csum_partial_copy_from_user() to csum_partial_copy_generic(), but I wonder if the latter is performing the access checks on every architectures.

Then later copy_process() denies CLONE_SIGHAND if the new process will be in a different pid namespace (task_active_pid_ns() doesn't match current->nsproxy->pid_ns). This looks confusing and inconsistent. CLONE_NEWPID is very similar to the case when ->pid_ns was already unshared, we want the same restrictions so copy_process() should also nack CLONE_PARENT. And it would be better to deny CLONE_NEWUSER && CLONE_SIGHAND as well just for consistency. Kill the "CLONE_NEWUSER | CLONE_NEWPID" check in do_fork() and change copy_process() to do the same check along with ->pid_ns check we already have.

Commit 8382fcac1b81 ("pidns: Outlaw thread creation after unshare(CLONE_NEWPID)") nacks CLONE_VM if the forking process unshared pid_ns, this obviously breaks vfork: int main(void) { assert(unshare(CLONE_NEWUSER | CLONE_NEWPID) == 0); assert(vfork() >= 0); _exit(0); return 0; } fails without this patch. Change this check to use CLONE_SIGHAND instead. This also forbids CLONE_THREAD automatically, and this is what the comment implies. We could probably even drop CLONE_SIGHAND and use CLONE_THREAD, but it would be safer to not do this. The current check denies CLONE_SIGHAND implicitely and there is no reason to change this. Eric said "CLONE_SIGHAND is fine. CLONE_THREAD would be even better. Having shared signal handling between two different pid namespaces is the case that we are fundamentally guarding against."

2013-09-10fs: bump inode and dentry counters to longGlauber Costa1-3/+3
This series reworks our current object cache shrinking infrastructure in two main ways: * Noticing that a lot of users copy and paste their own version of LRU lists for objects, we put some effort in providing a generic version. It is modeled after the filesystem users: dentries, inodes, and xfs (for various tasks), but we expect that other users could benefit in the near future with little or no modification. Let us know if you have any issues. * The underlying list_lru being proposed automatically and transparently keeps the elements in per-node lists, and is able to manipulate the node lists individually. Given this infrastructure, we are able to modify the up-to-now hammer called shrink_slab to proceed with node-reclaim instead of always searching memory from all over like it has been doing. Per-node lru lists are also expected to lead to less contention in the lru locks on multi-node scans, since we are now no longer fighting for a global lock. The locks usually disappear from the profilers with this change. Although we have no official benchmarks for this version - be our guest to independently evaluate this - earlier versions of this series were performance tested (details at http://permalink.gmane.org/gmane.linux.kernel.mm/100537) yielding no visible performance regressions while yielding a better qualitative behavior in NUMA machines. With this infrastructure in place, we can use the list_lru entry point to provide memcg isolation and per-memcg targeted reclaim. Historically, those two pieces of work have been posted together. This version presents only the infrastructure work, deferring the memcg work for a later time, so we can focus on getting this part tested. You can see more about the history of such work at http://lwn.net/Articles/552769/ Dave Chinner (18): dcache: convert dentry_stat.nr_unused to per-cpu counters dentry: move to per-sb LRU locks dcache: remove dentries from LRU before putting on dispose list mm: new shrinker API shrinker: convert superblock shrinkers to new API list: add a new LRU list type inode: convert inode lru list to generic lru list code. dcache: convert to use new lru list infrastructure list_lru: per-node list infrastructure shrinker: add node awareness fs: convert inode and dentry shrinking to be node aware xfs: convert buftarg LRU to generic code xfs: rework buffer dispose list tracking xfs: convert dquot cache lru to list_lru fs: convert fs shrinkers to new scan/count API drivers: convert shrinkers to new count/scan API shrinker: convert remaining shrinkers to count/scan API shrinker: Kill old ->shrink API.

Dave Chinner reported a problem with this while experimenting with the shrinker revamp patchset. So we believe it is time for a change. This patch just moves int to longs.
