2009-09-01selinux: Support for the new TUN LSM hooksPaul Moore5-2/+83
Add support for the new TUN LSM hooks: security_tun_dev_create(), security_tun_dev_post_create() and security_tun_dev_attach(). This includes the addition of a new object class, tun_socket, which represents the socks associated with TUN devices. The _tun_dev_create() and _tun_dev_post_create() hooks are fairly similar to the standard socket functions but _tun_dev_attach() is a bit special. The _tun_dev_attach() is unique because it involves a domain attaching to an existing TUN device and its associated tun_socket object, an operation which does not exist with standard sockets and most closely resembles a relabel operation.

2009-09-01lsm: Add hooks to the TUN driverPaul Moore4-7/+83
The TUN driver lacks any LSM hooks which makes it difficult for LSM modules, such as SELinux, to enforce access controls on network traffic generated by TUN users; this is particularly problematic for virtualization apps such as QEMU and KVM. This patch adds three new LSM hooks designed to control the creation and attachment of TUN devices, the hooks are: * security_tun_dev_create() Provides access control for the creation of new TUN devices * security_tun_dev_post_create() Provides the ability to create the necessary socket LSM state for newly created TUN devices * security_tun_dev_attach() Provides access control for attaching to existing, persistent TUN devices and the ability to update the TUN device's socket LSM state as necessary Signed-off-by: Paul Moore <paul.moore@hp.com> Acked-by: Eric Paris <eparis@parisplace.org> Acked-by: Serge Hallyn <serue@us.ibm.com> Acked-by: David S.

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.

2009-08-21vfs: allow file truncations when both suid and write permissions setAmerigo Wang1-4/+6
When suid is set and the non-owner user has write permission, any writing into this file should be allowed and suid should be removed after that. However, current kernel only allows writing without truncations, when we do truncations on that file, we get EPERM. This is a bug. Steps to reproduce this bug: % ls -l rootdir/file1 -rwsrwsrwx 1 root root 3 Jun 25 15:42 rootdir/file1 % echo h > rootdir/file1 zsh: operation not permitted: rootdir/file1 % ls -l rootdir/file1 -rwsrwsrwx 1 root root 3 Jun 25 15:42 rootdir/file1 % echo h >> rootdir/file1 % ls -l rootdir/file1 -rwxrwxrwx 1 root root 5 Jun 25 16:34 rootdir/file1 Signed-off-by: WANG Cong <amwang@redhat.com> Cc: Eric Sandeen <esandeen@redhat.com> Acked-by: Eric Paris <eparis@redhat.com> Cc: Eugene Teo <eteo@redhat.com> Cc: Al Viro <viro@zeniv.linux.org.uk> Cc: OGAWA Hirofumi <hirofumi@mail.parknet.co.jp> Cc: Christoph Hellwig <hch@lst.de> Cc: Stephen Smalley <sds@tycho.nsa.gov> Signed-off-by: Andrew Morton <akpm@linux-foundation.org> Signed-off-by: James Morris <jmorris@namei.org>

2009-08-18mm: build_zonelists(): move clear node_load[] to __build_all_zonelists()Bo Liu1-1/+3
If node_load[] is cleared everytime build_zonelists() is called,node_load[] will have no help to find the next node that should appear in the given node's fallback list. Because of the bug, zonelist's node_order is not calculated as expected. This bug affects on big machine, which has asynmetric node distance. [synmetric NUMA's node distance] 0 1 2 0 10 12 12 1 12 10 12 2 12 12 10 [asynmetric NUMA's node distance] 0 1 2 0 10 12 20 1 12 10 14 2 20 14 10 This (my bug) is very old but no one has reported this for a long time. Maybe because the number of asynmetric NUMA is very small and they use cpuset for customizing node memory allocation fallback.

2009-08-18mm: revert "oom: move oom_adj value"KOSAKI Motohiro6-54/+48
The commit 2ff05b2b (oom: move oom_adj value) moveed the oom_adj value to the mm_struct. It was a very good first step for sanitize OOM. However Paul Menage reported the commit makes regression to his job scheduler. Current OOM logic can kill OOM_DISABLED process. Why? His program has the code of similar to the following. ... set_oom_adj(OOM_DISABLE); /* The job scheduler never killed by oom */ ... if (vfork() == 0) { set_oom_adj(0); /* Invoked child can be killed */ execve("foo-bar-cmd"); } .... vfork() parent and child are shared the same mm_struct. then above set_oom_adj(0) doesn't only change oom_adj for vfork() child, it's also change oom_adj for vfork() parent. Then, vfork() parent (job scheduler) lost OOM immune and it was killed. Actually, fork-setting-exec idiom is very frequently used in userland program. We must not break this assumption. Then, this patch revert commit 2ff05b2b and related commit.

This turns out to be a bug brought by an -rc1 patch ("nilfs2: simplify remaining sget() use"). In the patch, a new "put resource" function, nilfs_put_sbinfo() was introduced to delay freeing nilfs_sb_info struct. But the nilfs_put_sbinfo() mistakenly used atomic_dec_and_test() function to check the reference count, and it caused the nilfs_sb_info was freed when user mounted a snapshot twice. This bug also suggests there was unseen memory leak in usual mount /umount operations for nilfs. Signed-off-by: Ryusuke Konishi <konishi.ryusuke@lab.ntt.co.jp>

2009-08-18genirq: Wake up irq thread after action has been installedThomas Gleixner1-2/+8
The wake_up_process() of the new irq thread in __setup_irq() is too early as the irqaction is not yet fully initialized especially action->irq is not yet set. The interrupt thread might dereference the wrong irq descriptor. Move the wakeup after the action is installed and action->irq has been set.

2009-08-18perf_counter: Fix the PARISC buildIngo Molnar1-0/+4
PARISC does not build: /home/mingo/tip/kernel/perf_counter.c: In function 'perf_counter_index': /home/mingo/tip/kernel/perf_counter.c:2016: error: 'PERF_COUNTER_INDEX_OFFSET' undeclared (first use in this function) /home/mingo/tip/kernel/perf_counter.c:2016: error: (Each undeclared identifier is reported only once /home/mingo/tip/kernel/perf_counter.c:2016: error: for each function it appears in.) As PERF_COUNTER_INDEX_OFFSET is not defined. Now, we could define it in the architecture - but lets also provide a core default of 0 (which happens to be what all but one architecture uses at the moment). Architectures that need a different index offset should set this value in their asm/perf_counter.h files.

2009-08-18microblaze: Use klimit instead of _end for memory initMichal Simek1-3/+3
For noMMU system when you use larger rootfs image there is problem with using _end label because we increase klimit but in memory initialization we use still _end which is wrong. Larger mtd rootfs was rewritten by init_bootmem_node. MMU kernel use static initialization where klimit is setup to _end. There is no any other hanling with klimit.

This code path doesn't test any returned pointers for NULL, leading to a bad kernel page fault if there's no timer/intc found.

2009-08-18nilfs2: missing a read lock for segment writer in nilfs_attach_checkpoint()Zhang Qiang1-0/+2
'ns_cno' of structure 'the_nilfs' must be protected from segment writer, in other words, the caller of nilfs_get_checkpoint should hold read lock for nilfs->ns_segctor_sem. This patch adds the lock/unlock operations in nilfs_attach_checkpoint() when calling nilfs_cpfile_get_checkpoint().

2009-08-17net: restore gnet_stats_basic to previous definitionEric Dumazet13-23/+33
In 5e140dfc1fe87eae27846f193086724806b33c7d "net: reorder struct Qdisc for better SMP performance" the definition of struct gnet_stats_basic changed incompatibly, as copies of this struct are shipped to userland via netlink. Restoring old behavior is not welcome, for performance reason. Fix is to use a private structure for kernel, and teach gnet_stats_copy_basic() to convert from kernel to user land, using legacy structure (struct gnet_stats_basic) Based on a report and initial patch from Michael Spang.

2009-08-17NETROM: Fix use of static bufferRalf Baechle1-9/+12
The static variable used by nr_call_to_digi might result in corruption if multiple threads are trying to usee a node or neighbour via ioctl. Fixed by having the caller pass a structure in. This is safe because nr_add_node rsp. nr_add_neigh will allocate a permanent structure, if needed. Signed-off-by: Ralf Baechle <ralf@linux-mips.org> Signed-off-by: David S.

Recent commit c8c00a6915a2e3d10416e8bdd3138429beb96210 changed the exit paths in do_md_stop and was not quite careful enough. There is one path were 'err' now needs to be cleared but it isn't. So setting an array to readonly (with mdadm --readonly) will work, but will incorrectly report and error: ENXIO. Signed-off-by: NeilBrown <neilb@suse.de>
