2009-05-19SELinux: move SELINUX_MAGIC into magic.hEric Paris
The selinuxfs superblock magic is used inside the IMA code, but is being defined in two places and could someday get out of sync. This patch moves the declaration into magic.h so it is only done once. Signed-off-by: Eric Paris <eparis@redhat.com> Signed-off-by: James Morris <jmorris@namei.org>
2009-05-15IMA: do not measure everything opened by root by defaultEric Paris
The IMA default policy measures every single file opened by root. This is terrible for most users. Consider a system (like mine) with virtual machine images. When those images are touched (which happens at boot for me) those images are measured. This is just way too much for the default case.

2009-05-15IMA: remove read permissions on the ima policy fileEric Paris
The IMA policy file does not implement read. Trying to just open/read/close the file will load a blank policy and you cannot then change the policy without a reboot. This removes the read permission from the file so one must at least be attempting to write...

2009-05-14TPM: get_event_name stack corruptionEric Paris
get_event_name uses sprintf to fill a buffer declared on the stack. It fills the buffer 2 bytes at a time. What the code doesn't take into account is that sprintf(buf, "%02x", data) actually writes 3 bytes. 2 bytes for the data and then it nul terminates the string. Since we declare buf to be 40 characters long and then we write 40 bytes of data into buf sprintf is going to write 41 characters. The fix is to leave room in buf for the nul terminator.

2009-05-11CRED: Guard the setprocattr security hook against ptraceDavid Howells
Guard the setprocattr security hook against ptrace by taking the target task's cred_guard_mutex around it. The problem is that setprocattr() may otherwise note the lack of a debugger, and then perform an action on that basis whilst letting a debugger attach between the two points. Holding cred_guard_mutex across the test and the action prevents ptrace_attach() from doing that. Signed-off-by: David Howells <dhowells@redhat.com> Signed-off-by: James Morris <jmorris@namei.org>

2009-05-07random: make get_random_int() more randomLinus Torvalds
It's a really simple patch that basically just open-codes the current "secure_ip_id()" call, but when open-coding it we now use a _static_ hashing area, so that it gets updated every time. And to make sure somebody can't just start from the same original seed of all-zeroes, and then do the "half_md4_transform()" over and over until they get the same sequence as the kernel has, each iteration also mixes in the same old "current->pid + jiffies" we used - so we should now have a regular strong pseudo-number generator, but we also have one that doesn't have a single seed. Note: the "pid + jiffies" is just meant to be a tiny tiny bit of noise. It has no real meaning. It could be anything. I just picked the previous seed, it's just that now we keep the state in between calls and that will feed into the next result, and that should make all the difference. I made that hash be a per-cpu data just to avoid cache-line ping-pong: having multiple CPU's write to the same data would be fine for randomness, and add yet another layer of chaos to it, but since get_random_int() is supposed to be a fast interface I did it that way instead. I considered using "__raw_get_cpu_var()" to avoid any preemption overhead while still getting the hash be _mostly_ ping-pong free, but in the end good taste won out.

From: Bruce Ashfield <bruce.ashfield@windriver.com> To fully support the armv7-a instruction set/optimizations, support for the R_ARM_MOVW_ABS_NC and R_ARM_MOVT_ABS relocation types is required. The MOVW and MOVT are both load-immediate instructions, MOVW loads 16 bits into the bottom half of a register, and MOVT loads 16 bits into the top half of a register. The relocation information for these instructions has a full 32 bit value, plus an addend which is stored in the 16 immediate bits in the instruction itself. The immediate bits in the instruction are not contiguous (the register # splits it into a 4 bit and 12 bit value), so the addend has to be extracted accordingly and added to the value. The value is then split and put into the instruction; a MOVW uses the bottom 16 bits of the value, and a MOVT uses the top 16 bits.

2009-05-07md: remove rd%d links immediately after stopping an array.NeilBrown
md maintains link in sys/mdXX/md/ to identify which device has which role in the array. e.g. rd2 -> dev-sda indicates that the device with role '2' in the array is sda. These links are only present when the array is active. They are created immediately after ->run is called, and so should be removed immediately after ->stop is called. However they are currently removed a little bit later, and it is possible for ->run to be called again, thus adding these links, before they are removed. So move the removal earlier so they are consistently only present when the array is active. Signed-off-by: NeilBrown <neilb@suse.de>
2009-05-07md: remove ability to explicit set an inactive array to 'clean'.NeilBrown
Being able to write 'clean' to an 'array_state' of an inactive array to activate it in 'clean' mode is both unnecessary and inconvenient. It is unnecessary because the same can be achieved by writing 'active'. This activates and array, but it still remains 'clean' until the first write. It is inconvenient because writing 'clean' is more often used to cause an 'active' array to revert to 'clean' mode (thus blocking any writes until a 'write-pending' is promoted to 'active'). Allowing 'clean' to both activate an array and mark an active array as clean can lead to races: One program writes 'clean' to mark the active array as clean at the same time as another program writes 'inactive' to deactivate (stop) and active array. Depending on which writes first, the array could be deactivated and immediately reactivated which isn't what was desired. So just disable the use of 'clean' to activate an array. This avoids a race that can be triggered with mdadm-3.0 and external metadata, so it suitable for -stable.

2009-05-07md: tidy up status_resync to handle large arrays.NeilBrown
Two problems in status_resync. 1/ It still used Kilobytes as the basic block unit, while most code now uses sectors uniformly. 2/ It doesn't allow for the possibility that max_sectors exceeds the range of "unsigned long". So - change "max_blocks" to "max_sectors", and store sector numbers in there and in 'resync' - Make 'rt' a 'sector_t' so it can temporarily hold the number of remaining sectors. - use sector_div rather than normal division. - change the magic '100' used to preserve precision to '32'. + making it a power of 2 makes division easier + it doesn't need to be as large as it was chosen when we averaged speed over the entire run. Now we average speed over the last 30 seconds or so. Reported-by: "Mario 'BitKoenig' Holbe" <Mario.Holbe@TU-Ilmenau.DE> Signed-off-by: NeilBrown <neilb@suse.de>
2009-05-07md: fix some (more) errors with bitmaps on devices larger than 2TB.NeilBrown

2009-05-07md/raid10: don't clear bitmap during recovery if array will still be degraded.NeilBrown
If we have a raid10 with multiple missing devices, and we recover just one of these to a spare, then we risk (depending on the bitmap and array chunk size) clearing bits of the bitmap for which recovery isn't complete (because a device is still missing). This can lead to a subsequent "re-add" being recovered without any IO happening, which would result in loss of data. This patch takes the safe approach of not clearing bitmap bits if the array will still be degraded. This patch is suitable for all active -stable kernels.

2009-05-07md: fix loading of out-of-date bitmap.NeilBrown
When md is loading a bitmap which it knows is out of date, it fills each page with 1s and writes it back out again. However the write_page call makes used of bitmap->file_pages and bitmap->last_page_size which haven't been set correctly yet. So this can sometimes fail. Move the setting of file_pages and last_page_size to before the call to write_page. This bug can cause the assembly on an array to fail, thus making the data inaccessible. Hence I think it is a suitable candidate for -stable. Cc: stable@kernel.org Reported-by: Vojtech Pavlik <vojtech@suse.cz> Signed-off-by: NeilBrown <neilb@suse.de>

2009-05-06nommu: make the initial mmap allocation excess behaviour Kconfig configurableDavid Howells
NOMMU mmap() has an option controlled by a sysctl variable that determines whether the allocations made by do_mmap_private() should have the excess space trimmed off and returned to the allocator. Make the initial setting of this variable a Kconfig configuration option. The reason there can be excess space is that the allocator only allocates in power-of-2 size chunks, but mmap()'s can be made in sizes that aren't a power of 2. There are two alternatives: (1) Keep the excess as dead space. The dead space then remains unused for the lifetime of the mapping. Mappings of shared objects such as libc, ld.so or busybox's text segment may retain their dead space forever. (2) Return the excess to the allocator. This means that the dead space is limited to less than a page per mapping, but it means that for a transient process, there's more chance of fragmentation as the excess space may be reused fairly quickly. During the boot process, a lot of transient processes are created, and this can cause a lot of fragmentation as the pagecache and various slabs grow greatly during this time. By turning off the trimming of excess space during boot and disabling batching of frees, Coldfire can manage to boot. A better way of doing things might be to have /sbin/init turn this option off. By that point libc, ld.so and init - which are all long-duration processes - have all been loaded and trimmed.

2009-05-06nommu: clamp zone_batchsize() to 0 under NOMMU conditionsDavid Howells
Clamp zone_batchsize() to 0 under NOMMU conditions to stop free_hot_cold_page() from queueing and batching frees. The problem is that under NOMMU conditions it is really important to be able to allocate large contiguous chunks of memory, but when munmap() or exit_mmap() releases big stretches of memory, return of these to the buddy allocator can be deferred, and when it does finally happen, it can be in small chunks. Whilst the fragmentation this incurs isn't so much of a problem under MMU conditions as userspace VM is glued together from individual pages with the aid of the MMU, it is a real problem if there isn't an MMU. By clamping the page freeing queue size to 0, pages are returned to the allocator immediately, and the buddy detector is more likely to be able to glue them together into large chunks immediately, and fragmentation is less likely to occur. By disabling batching of frees, and by turning off the trimming of excess space during boot, Coldfire can manage to boot.

The software fillrect routines do not work properly when the number of pixels per machine word is not an integer. To see that, run the following command on a fbdev console with a 24bpp video mode, using a non-accelerated driver such as (u)vesafb: reset ; echo -e '\e[41mtest\e[K' The expected result is 'test' displayed on a line with red background. Instead of that, 'test' has a red background, but the rest of the line (rendered using fillrect()) contains a distored colorful pattern.

2009-05-06inotify: use GFP_NOFS in kernel_event() to work around a lockdep false-positiveWu Fengguang
There is what we believe to be a false positive reported by lockdep. inotify_inode_queue_event() => take inotify_mutex => kernel_event() => kmalloc() => SLOB => alloc_pages_node() => page reclaim => slab reclaim => dcache reclaim => inotify_inode_is_dead => take inotify_mutex => deadlock The plan is to fix this via lockdep annotation, but that is proving to be quite involved.

I'll queue a patch in -mm to switch it back to GFP_KERNEL so we don't forget. ================================= [ INFO: inconsistent lock state ] 2.6.30-rc2-next-20090417 #203 --------------------------------- inconsistent {RECLAIM_FS-ON-W} -> {IN-RECLAIM_FS-W} usage. kswapd0/380 [HC0[0]:SC0[0]:HE1:SE1] takes: (&inode->inotify_mutex){+.+.?.}, at: [<ffffffff8112f1b5>] inotify_inode_is_dead+0x35/0xb0 {RECLAIM_FS-ON-W} state was registered at: [<ffffffff81079188>] mark_held_locks+0x68/0x90 [<ffffffff810792a5>] lockdep_trace_alloc+0xf5/0x100 [<ffffffff810f5261>] __kmalloc_node+0x31/0x1e0 [<ffffffff81130652>] kernel_event+0xe2/0x190 [<ffffffff81130826>] inotify_dev_queue_event+0x126/0x230 [<ffffffff8112f096>] inotify_inode_queue_event+0xc6/0x110 [<ffffffff8110444d>] vfs_create+0xcd/0x140 [<ffffffff8110825d>] do_filp_open+0x88d/0xa20 [<ffffffff810f6b68>] do_sys_open+0x98/0x140 [<ffffffff810f6c50>] sys_open+0x20/0x30 [<ffffffff8100c272>] system_call_fastpath+0x16/0x1b [<ffffffffffffffff>] 0xffffffffffffffff irq event stamp: 690455 hardirqs last enabled at (690455): [<ffffffff81564fe4>] _spin_unlock_irqrestore+0x44/0x80 hardirqs last disabled at (690454): [<ffffffff81565372>] _spin_lock_irqsave+0x32/0xa0 softirqs last enabled at (690178): [<ffffffff81052282>] __do_softirq+0x202/0x220 softirqs last disabled at (690157): [<ffffffff8100d50c>] call_softirq+0x1c/0x50 other info that might help us debug this: 2 locks held by kswapd0/380: #0: (shrinker_rwsem){++++..}, at: [<ffffffff810d0bd7>] shrink_slab+0x37/0x180 #1: (&type->s_umount_key#17){++++..}, at: [<ffffffff8110cfbf>] shrink_dcache_memory+0x11f/0x1e0 stack backtrace: Pid: 380, comm: kswapd0 Not tainted 2.6.30-rc2-next-20090417 #203 Call Trace: [<ffffffff810789ef>] print_usage_bug+0x19f/0x200 [<ffffffff81018bff>] ? save_stack_trace+0x2f/0x50 [<ffffffff81078f0b>] mark_lock+0x4bb/0x6d0 [<ffffffff810799e0>] ? check_usage_forwards+0x0/0xc0 [<ffffffff8107b142>] __lock_acquire+0xc62/0x1ae0 [<ffffffff810f478c>] ? slob_free+0x10c/0x370 [<ffffffff8107c0a1>] lock_acquire+0xe1/0x120 [<ffffffff8112f1b5>] ? inotify_inode_is_dead+0x35/0xb0 [<ffffffff81562d43>] mutex_lock_nested+0x63/0x420 [<ffffffff8112f1b5>] ? inotify_inode_is_dead+0x35/0xb0 [<ffffffff8112f1b5>] ? inotify_inode_is_dead+0x35/0xb0 [<ffffffff81012fe9>] ? sched_clock+0x9/0x10 [<ffffffff81077165>] ? lock_release_holdtime+0x35/0x1c0 [<ffffffff8112f1b5>] inotify_inode_is_dead+0x35/0xb0 [<ffffffff8110c9dc>] dentry_iput+0xbc/0xe0 [<ffffffff8110cb23>] d_kill+0x33/0x60 [<ffffffff8110ce23>] __shrink_dcache_sb+0x2d3/0x350 [<ffffffff8110cffa>] shrink_dcache_memory+0x15a/0x1e0 [<ffffffff810d0cc5>] shrink_slab+0x125/0x180 [<ffffffff810d1540>] kswapd+0x560/0x7a0 [<ffffffff810ce160>] ? isolate_pages_global+0x0/0x2c0 [<ffffffff81065a30>] ? autoremove_wake_function+0x0/0x40 [<ffffffff8107953d>] ? trace_hardirqs_on+0xd/0x10 [<ffffffff810d0fe0>] ? kswapd+0x0/0x7a0 [<ffffffff8106555b>] kthread+0x5b/0xa0 [<ffffffff8100d40a>] child_rip+0xa/0x20 [<ffffffff8100cdd0>] ? restore_args+0x0/0x30 [<ffffffff81065500>] ? kthread+0x0/0xa0 [<ffffffff8100d400>] ? child_rip+0x0/0x20 [eparis@redhat.com: fix audit too] Cc: Al Viro <viro@zeniv.linux.org.uk> Cc: Matt Mackall <mpm@selenic.com> Cc: Christoph Lameter <clameter@sgi.com> Signed-off-by: Wu Fengguang <fengguang.wu@intel.com> Signed-off-by: Eric Paris <eparis@redhat.com> Cc: Peter Zijlstra <a.p.zijlstra@chello.nl> Signed-off-by: Andrew Morton <akpm@linux-foundation.org> Signed-off-by: Linus Torvalds <torvalds@linux-foundation.org>

This is one area where we can't just magic away the bizarre use of CLOCK_TICK_RATE as it leaks to user space APIs.

2009-05-05Ignore madvise(MADV_WILLNEED) for hugetlbfs-backed regionsMel Gorman
madvise(MADV_WILLNEED) forces page cache readahead on a range of memory backed by a file. The assumption is made that the page required is order-0 and "normal" page cache. On hugetlbfs, this assumption is not true and order-0 pages are allocated and inserted into the hugetlbfs page cache. This leaks hugetlbfs page reservations and can cause BUGs to trigger related to corrupted page tables. This patch causes MADV_WILLNEED to be ignored for hugetlbfs-backed regions.
