2008-04-30signals: send_signal: be paranoid about signalfd_notify()Oleg Nesterov
send_signal() shouldn't call signalfd_notify() if it then fails with -EAGAIN. Harmless, just a paranoid cleanup. Also remove the comment. It is obsolete, signalfd_notify() was simplified and does a simple wakeup.

2008-04-30signals: fold sig_ignored() into handle_stop_signal()Oleg Nesterov
Rename handle_stop_signal() to prepare_signal(), make it return a boolean, and move the callsites of sig_ignored() into it. No functional changes for now. But it would be nice to factor out the "should we drop this signal" checks as much as possible, before we try to fix the bugs with the sub-namespace init's signals (actually the global /sbin/init has some problems with signals too).

2008-04-30signals: cleanup the usage of print_fatal_signal()Oleg Nesterov
Move the callsite of print_fatal_signal() down, under "if (sig_kernel_coredump(signr))", so we don't need to check signr != SIGKILL. We are only interested in the sig_kernel_coredump() signals anyway, and due to the previous changes we almost never can see other fatal signals here except SIGKILL.

2008-04-30signals: handle_stop_signal: don't worry about SIGKILLOleg Nesterov
handle_stop_signal() clears SIGNAL_STOP_DEQUEUED when sig == SIGKILL. Remove this nasty special case. It was needed to prevent the race with group stop and exit caused by thread-specific SIGKILL. Now that we use complete_signal() for private signals too this is not needed, complete_signal() will notice SIGKILL and abort the soon-to-begin group stop. Except: the target thread is dead (has PF_EXITING). But in that case we should not just clear SIGNAL_STOP_DEQUEUED and nothing more. We should either kill the whole thread group, or silently ignore the signal. I suspect we are not right wrt zombie leaders, but this is another issue which and should be fixed separately. Note that this check can't abort the group stop if it was already started/finished, this check only adds a subtle side effect if we race with the thread which has already dequeued sig_kernel_stop() signal and temporary released ->siglock.

2008-04-30signals: join send_sigqueue() with send_group_sigqueue()Oleg Nesterov
We export send_sigqueue() and send_group_sigqueue() for the only user, posix_timer_event(). This is a bit silly, because both are just trivial helpers on top of do_send_sigqueue() and because the we pass the unused .si_signo parameter. Kill them both, rename do_send_sigqueue() to send_sigqueue(), and export it.

2008-04-30signals: unify send_sigqueue/send_group_sigqueue completelyOleg Nesterov
Suggested by Pavel Emelyanov. send_sigqueue/send_group_sigqueue are only differ in how they lock ->siglock. Unify them. send_group_sigqueue() uses spin_lock() because it knows the task can't exit, but in that case lock_task_sighand() can't fail and doesn't hurt. Note that the "sig" argument is ignored, it is always equal to ->si_signo.

2008-04-30signals: use __group_complete_signal() for the specific signals tooOleg Nesterov
Based on Pavel Emelyanov's suggestion. Rename __group_complete_signal() to complete_signal() and use it to process the specific signals too. To do this we simply add the "int group" argument. This allows us to greatly simply the signal-sending code and adds a useful behaviour change. We can avoid the unneeded wakeups for the private signals because wants_signal() is more clever than sigismember(blocked), but more importantly we now take into account the fatal specific signals too. The latter allows us to kill some subtle checks in handle_stop_signal() and makes the specific/group signal's behaviour more consistent. For example, currently sigtimedwait(FATAL_SIGNAL) behaves differently depending on was the signal sent by kill() or tkill() if the signal was not blocked. And. This allows us to tweak/fix the behaviour when the specific signal is sent to the dying/dead ->group_leader.

2008-04-30signals: send_sig_info: don't take tasklist_lockOleg Nesterov
The comment in send_sig_info() is wrong, tasklist_lock can't help. The caller must ensure the task can't go away, otherwise ->sighand can be NULL even before we take the lock. p->sighand could be changed by exec(), but I can't imagine how it is possible to prevent exit(), but not exec(). Since the things seem to work, I assume all callers are correct. However, drm_vbl_send_signals() looks broken. block_all_signals() which is solely used by drm is definitely broken.

2008-04-30signals: move handle_stop_signal() into send_signal()Oleg Nesterov
Move handle_stop_signal() into send_signal(). This factors out a couple of callsites and allows us to do further unifications. Also, with this change specific_send_sig_info() does handle_stop_signal(). Not that this is really important, we never send STOP/CONT via send_sig() and friends, but still this looks more consistent. The only (afaics) special case is get_signal_to_deliver(). If the traced task dequeues SIGCONT, it can re-send it to itself after ptrace_stop() if the signal was blocked by debugger. In that case handle_stop_signal() is unnecessary, but hopefully not a problem.

2008-04-30signals: re-assign CLD_CONTINUED notification from the sender to recieverOleg Nesterov
Based on discussion with Jiri and Roland. In short: currently handle_stop_signal(SIGCONT, p) sends the notification to p->parent, with this patch p itself notifies its parent when it becomes running. handle_stop_signal(SIGCONT) has to drop ->siglock temporary in order to notify the parent with do_notify_parent_cldstop(). This leads to multiple problems: - as Jiri Kosina pointed out, the stopped task can resume without actually seeing SIGCONT which may have a handler. - we race with another sig_kernel_stop() signal which may come in that window. - we race with sig_fatal() signals which may set SIGNAL_GROUP_EXIT in that window. - we can't avoid taking tasklist_lock() while sending SIGCONT. With this patch handle_stop_signal() just sets the new SIGNAL_CLD_CONTINUED flag in p->signal->flags and returns. The notification is sent by the first task which returns from finish_stop() (there should be at least one) or any other signalled thread from get_signal_to_deliver(). This is a user-visible change. Say, currently kill(SIGCONT, stopped_child) can't return without seeing SIGCHLD, with this patch SIGCHLD can be delayed unpredictably. Another difference is that if the child is ptraced by another process, CLD_CONTINUED may be delivered to ->real_parent after ptrace_detach() while currently it always goes to the tracer which doesn't actually need this notification. Hopefully not a problem. The patch asks for the futher obvious cleanups, I'll send them separately.

2008-04-30signals: cleanup security_task_kill() usage/implementationOleg Nesterov
Every implementation of ->task_kill() does nothing when the signal comes from the kernel. This is correct, but means that check_kill_permission() should call security_task_kill() only for SI_FROMUSER() case, and we can remove the same check from ->task_kill() implementations. (sadly, check_kill_permission() is the last user of signal->session/__session but we can't s/task_session_nr/task_session/ here). NOTE: Eric W. Biederman pointed out cap_task_kill() should die, and I think he is very right. Signed-off-by: Oleg Nesterov <oleg@tv-sign.ru> Cc: "Eric W.

2008-04-30signals: consolidate send_sigqueue and send_group_sigqueuePavel Emelyanov
Both functions do the same thing after proper locking, but with different sigpending structs, so move the common code into a helper. After this we have 4 places that look very similar: send_sigqueue: calls do_send_sigqueue and signal_wakeup send_group_sigqueue: calls do_send_sigqueue and __group_complete_signal __group_send_sig_info: calls send_signal and __group_complete_signal specific_send_sig_info: calls send_signal and signal_wakeup Besides, send_signal performs actions similar to do_send_sigqueue's and __group_complete_signal - to signal_wakeup. It looks like they can be consolidated gracefully. Oleg said: Personally, I think this change is very good. But send_sigqueue() and send_group_sigqueue() have a very subtle difference which I was never able to understand. Let's suppose that sigqueue is already queued, and the signal is ignored (the latter means we should re-schedule cpu timer or handle overrruns). In that case send_sigqueue() returns 0, but send_group_sigqueue() returns 1. I think this is not the problem (in fact, I think this patch makes the behaviour more correct), but I hope Thomas can take a look and confirm.

2008-04-29relayfs: support larger relay bufferMasami Hiramatsu
Use vmalloc() and memset() instead of kcalloc() to allocate a page* array when the array size is bigger than one page. This enables relayfs to support bigger relay buffers than 64MB on 4k-page system, 512MB on 16k-page system.

2008-04-29sysctl: add the ->permissions callback on the ctl_table_rootPavel Emelyanov
When reading from/writing to some table, a root, which this table came from, may affect this table's permissions, depending on who is working with the table. The core hunk is at the bottom of this patch. All the rest is just pushing the ctl_table_root argument up to the sysctl_perm() function. This will be mostly (only?) used in the net sysctls.

2008-04-29procfs task exe symlinkMatt Helsley
The kernel implements readlink of /proc/pid/exe by getting the file from the first executable VMA. Then the path to the file is reconstructed and reported as the result. Because of the VMA walk the code is slightly different on nommu systems. This patch avoids separate /proc/pid/exe code on nommu systems. Instead of walking the VMAs to find the first executable file-backed VMA we store a reference to the exec'd file in the mm_struct. That reference would prevent the filesystem holding the executable file from being unmounted even after unmapping the VMAs. So we track the number of VM_EXECUTABLE VMAs and drop the new reference when the last one is unmapped. This avoids pinning the mounted filesystem.

2008-04-29keys: make the keyring quotas controllable through /proc/sysDavid Howells
Make the keyring quotas controllable through /proc/sys files: (*) /proc/sys/kernel/keys/root_maxkeys /proc/sys/kernel/keys/root_maxbytes Maximum number of keys that root may have and the maximum total number of bytes of data that root may have stored in those keys. (*) /proc/sys/kernel/keys/maxkeys /proc/sys/kernel/keys/maxbytes Maximum number of keys that each non-root user may have and the maximum total number of bytes of data that each of those users may have stored in their keys. Also increase the quotas as a number of people have been complaining that it's not big enough. I'm not sure that it's big enough now either, but on the other hand, it can now be set in /etc/sysctl.conf.

2008-04-29keys: don't generate user and user session keyrings unless they're accessedDavid Howells
Don't generate the per-UID user and user session keyrings unless they're explicitly accessed. This solves a problem during a login process whereby set*uid() is called before the SELinux PAM module, resulting in the per-UID keyrings having the wrong security labels. This also cures the problem of multiple per-UID keyrings sometimes appearing due to PAM modules (including pam_keyinit) setuiding and causing user_structs to come into and go out of existence whilst the session keyring pins the user keyring. This is achieved by first searching for extant per-UID keyrings before inventing new ones. The serial bound argument is also dropped from find_keyring_by_name() as it's not currently made use of (setting it to 0 disables the feature).

2008-04-29ipc: sysvsem: refuse clone(CLONE_SYSVSEM|CLONE_NEWIPC)Serge E. Hallyn
CLONE_NEWIPC|CLONE_SYSVSEM interaction isn't handled properly. This can cause a kernel memory corruption. CLONE_NEWIPC must detach from the existing undo lists. Fix, part 3: refuse clone(CLONE_SYSVSEM|CLONE_NEWIPC). With unshare, specifying CLONE_SYSVSEM means unshare the sysvsem. So it seems reasonable that CLONE_NEWIPC without CLONE_SYSVSEM would just imply CLONE_SYSVSEM. However with clone, specifying CLONE_SYSVSEM means *share* the sysvsem. So calling clone(CLONE_SYSVSEM|CLONE_NEWIPC) is explicitly asking for something we can't allow. So return -EINVAL in that case. [akpm@linux-foundation.org: cleanups] Signed-off-by: Serge E.

2008-04-29ipc: sysvsem: force unshare(CLONE_SYSVSEM) when CLONE_NEWIPCManfred Spraul
sys_unshare(CLONE_NEWIPC) doesn't handle the undo lists properly, this can cause a kernel memory corruption. CLONE_NEWIPC must detach from the existing undo lists. Fix, part 2: perform an implicit CLONE_SYSVSEM in CLONE_NEWIPC. CLONE_NEWIPC creates a new IPC namespace, the task cannot access the existing semaphore arrays after the unshare syscall. Thus the task can/must detach from the existing undo list entries, too. This fixes the kernel corruption, because it makes it impossible that undo records from two different namespaces are in sysvsem.undo_list.
