2008-08-15x86: invalidate caches before going into suspendMark Langsdorf
When a CPU core is shut down, all of its caches need to be flushed to prevent stale data from causing errors if the core is resumed. Current Linux suspend code performs an assignment after the flush, which can add dirty data back to the cache.  On some AMD platforms, additional speculative reads have caused crashes on resume because of this dirty data. Relocate the cache flush to be the very last thing done before halting.  Tie into an assembly line so the compile will not reorder it.  Add some documentation explaining what is going on and why we're doing this.

Commit 8ab19ea36c5c5340ff598e4d15fc084eb65671dc ("ipvs: Fix possible deadlock in estimator code") fixed a deadlock condition, but that condition can only happen during unload of IPVS, because during normal operation there is at least our global stats structure in the estimator list.

2008-08-14security: Fix setting of PF_SUPERPRIV by __capable()David Howells
Fix the setting of PF_SUPERPRIV by __capable() as it could corrupt the flags the target process if that is not the current process and it is trying to change its own flags in a different way at the same time. __capable() is using neither atomic ops nor locking to protect t->flags. This patch removes __capable() and introduces has_capability() that doesn't set PF_SUPERPRIV on the process being queried. This patch further splits security_ptrace() in two: (1) security_ptrace_may_access(). This passes judgement on whether one process may access another only (PTRACE_MODE_ATTACH for ptrace() and PTRACE_MODE_READ for /proc), and takes a pointer to the child process. current is the parent. (2) security_ptrace_traceme(). This passes judgement on PTRACE_TRACEME only, and takes only a pointer to the parent process. current is the child. In Smack and commoncap, this uses has_capability() to determine whether the parent will be permitted to use PTRACE_ATTACH if normal checks fail. This does not set PF_SUPERPRIV. Two of the instances of __capable() actually only act on current, and so have been changed to calls to capable(). Of the places that were using __capable(): (1) The OOM killer calls __capable() thrice when weighing the killability of a process. All of these now use has_capability(). (2) cap_ptrace() and smack_ptrace() were using __capable() to check to see whether the parent was allowed to trace any process. As mentioned above, these have been split. For PTRACE_ATTACH and /proc, capable() is now used, and for PTRACE_TRACEME, has_capability() is used. (3) cap_safe_nice() only ever saw current, so now uses capable(). (4) smack_setprocattr() rejected accesses to tasks other than current just after calling __capable(), so the order of these two tests have been switched and capable() is used instead. (5) In smack_file_send_sigiotask(), we need to allow privileged processes to receive SIGIO on files they're manipulating. (6) In smack_task_wait(), we let a process wait for a privileged process, whether or not the process doing the waiting is privileged. I've tested this with the LTP SELinux and syscalls testscripts.

2008-08-14CRED: Introduce credential access wrappersDavid Howells
The patches that are intended to introduce copy-on-write credentials for 2.6.28 require abstraction of access to some fields of the task structure, particularly for the case of one task accessing another's credentials where RCU will have to be observed. Introduced here are trivial no-op versions of the desired accessors for current and other tasks so that other subsystems can start to be converted over more easily. Wrappers are introduced into a new header (linux/cred.h) for UID/GID, EUID/EGID, SUID/SGID, FSUID/FSGID, cap_effective and current's subscribed user_struct. These wrappers are macros because the ordering between header files mitigates against making them inline functions. linux/cred.h is #included from linux/sched.h. Further, XFS is modified such that it no longer defines and uses parameterised versions of current_fs[ug]id(), thus getting rid of the namespace collision otherwise incurred.

Suresh wrote: These padlock instructions though don't use/touch SSE registers, but it behaves similar to other SSE instructions. For example, it might cause DNA faults when cr0.ts is set. While this is a spurious DNA trap, it might cause oops with the recent fpu code changes. This is the code sequence that is probably causing this problem: a) new app is getting exec'd and it is somewhere in between start_thread() and flush_old_exec() in the load_xyz_binary() b) At pont "a", task's fpu state (like TS_USEDFPU, used_math() etc) is cleared. c) Now we get an interrupt/softirq which starts using these encrypt/decrypt routines in the network stack. This generates a math fault (as cr0.ts is '1') which sets TS_USEDFPU and restores the math that is in the task's xstate. d) Return to exec code path, which does start_thread() which does free_thread_xstate() and sets xstate pointer to NULL while the TS_USEDFPU is still set. e) At the next context switch from the new exec'd task to another task, we have a scenarios where TS_USEDFPU is set but xstate pointer is null. This can cause an oops during unlazy_fpu() in __switch_to() Now: 1) This should happen with or with out pre-emption. Viro also encountered similar problem with out CONFIG_PREEMPT. 2) kernel_fpu_begin() and kernel_fpu_end() will fix this problem, because kernel_fpu_begin() will manually do a clts() and won't run in to the situation of setting TS_USEDFPU in step "c" above. 3) This was working before the fpu changes, because its a spurious math fault which doesn't corrupt any fpu/sse registers and the task's math state was always in an allocated state. With out the recent lazy fpu allocation changes, while we don't see oops, there is a possible race still present in older kernels(for example, while kernel is using kernel_fpu_begin() in some optimized clear/copy page and an interrupt/softirq happens which uses these padlock instructions generating DNA fault). This is the failing scenario that existed even before the lazy fpu allocation changes: 0. CPU's TS flag is set 1. kernel using FPU in some optimized copy routine and while doing kernel_fpu_begin() takes an interrupt just before doing clts() 2. Takes an interrupt and ipsec uses padlock instruction. And we take a DNA fault as TS flag is still set. 3. We handle the DNA fault and set TS_USEDFPU and clear cr0.ts 4. We complete the padlock routine 5. Go back to step-1, which resumes clts() in kernel_fpu_begin(), finishes the optimized copy routine and does kernel_fpu_end(). At this point, we have cr0.ts again set to '1' but the task's TS_USEFPU is stilll set and not cleared. 6. Now kernel resumes its user operation. And at the next context switch, kernel sees it has do a FP save as TS_USEDFPU is still set and then will do a unlazy_fpu() in __switch_to(). unlazy_fpu() will take a DNA fault, as cr0.ts is '1' and now, because we are in __switch_to(), math_state_restore() will get confused and will restore the next task's FP state and will save it in prev tasks's FP state. Remember, in __switch_to() we are already on the stack of the next task but take a DNA fault for the prev task. This causes the fpu leakage. Fix the padlock instruction usage by calling them inside the context of new routines irq_ts_save/restore(), which clear/restore cr0.ts manually in the interrupt context. This will not generate spurious DNA in the context of the interrupt which will fix the oops encountered and the possible FPU leakage issue.

2008-08-13pkt_sched: Add queue stopped test back to qdisc_run().David S. Miller
Based upon a bug report by Andrew Gallatin on netdev with subject "CPU utilization increased in 2.6.27rc" In commit 37437bb2e1ae8af470dfcd5b4ff454110894ccaf ("pkt_sched: Schedule qdiscs instead of netdev_queue.") the test of the queue being stopped was erroneously removed from qdisc_run(). When the TX queue of the device fills up, this omission causes lots of extraneous useless work to be queued up to softirq context, where we'll just return immediately because the device is still stuffed up.

2008-08-13[XFS] extend completions to provide XFS object flush requirementsDavid Chinner
XFS object flushing doesn't quite match existing completion semantics. It mixed exclusive access with completion. That is, we need to mark an object as being flushed before flushing it to disk, and then block any other attempt to flush it until the completion occurs. We do this but adding an extra count to the completion before we start using them. However, we still need to determine if there is a completion in progress, and allow no-blocking attempts fo completions to decrement the count. To do this we introduce: int try_wait_for_completion(struct completion *x) returns a failure status if done == 0, otherwise decrements done to zero and returns a "started" status. This is provided to allow counted completions to begin safely while holding object locks in inverted order. int completion_done(struct completion *x) returns 1 if there is no waiter, 0 if there is a waiter (i.e. a completion in progress). This replaces the use of semaphores for providing this exclusion and completion mechanism.

2008-08-12Make ioctl.h compatible with userlandMichael Abbott
The attached patch seems to already exist in a number of branches -- it keeps popping up on Google for me, and is certainly already in Debian -- but is strangely absent from mainstream. The problem appears to be that the patched file ends up as part of the target toolchain, but unfortunately the gcc constant folding doesn't appear to eliminate the __invalid_size_argument_for_IOC value early enough. Certainly compiling C++ programs which use _IO... macros as constants fails without this patch.
