2011-03-29alpha: Use generic show_interrupts()Thomas Gleixner1-2/+6
The only subtle difference is that alpha uses ACTUAL_NR_IRQS and prints the IRQF_DISABLED flag. Change the generic implementation to deal with ACTUAL_NR_IRQS if defined. The IRQF_DISABLED printing is pointless, as we nowadays run all interrupts with irqs disabled. Signed-off-by: Thomas Gleixner <tglx@linutronix.de>

2011-03-28Relax si_code check in rt_sigqueueinfo and rt_tgsigqueueinfoRoland Dreier1-2/+2
Commit da48524eb206 ("Prevent rt_sigqueueinfo and rt_tgsigqueueinfo from spoofing the signal code") made the check on si_code too strict. There are several legitimate places where glibc wants to queue a negative si_code different from SI_QUEUE: - This was first noticed with glibc's aio implementation, which wants to queue a signal with si_code SI_ASYNCIO; the current kernel causes glibc's tst-aio4 test to fail because rt_sigqueueinfo() fails with EPERM. - Further examination of the glibc source shows that getaddrinfo_a() wants to use SI_ASYNCNL (which the kernel does not even define). The timer_create() fallback code wants to queue signals with SI_TIMER. As suggested by Oleg Nesterov <oleg@redhat.com>, loosen the check to forbid only the problematic SI_TKILL case.

2011-03-24vsprintf: Introduce %pB format specifierNamhyung Kim1-3/+41
The %pB format specifier is for stack backtrace. Its handler sprint_backtrace() does symbol lookup using (address-1) to ensure the address will not point outside of the function. If there is a tail-call to the function marked "noreturn", gcc optimized out the code after the call then causes saved return address points outside of the function (i.e. the start of the next function), so pollutes call trace somewhat. This patch adds the %pB printk mechanism that allows architecture call-trace printout functions to improve backtrace printouts.

2011-03-23crash_dump: export is_kdump_kernel to modules, consolidate elfcorehdr_addr, ↵Olaf Hering2-0/+35
setup_elfcorehdr and saved_max_pfn The Xen PV drivers in a crashed HVM guest can not connect to the dom0 backend drivers because both frontend and backend drivers are still in connected state. To run the connection reset function only in case of a crashdump, the is_kdump_kernel() function needs to be available for the PV driver modules. Consolidate elfcorehdr_addr, setup_elfcorehdr and saved_max_pfn into kernel/crash_dump.c Also export elfcorehdr_addr to make is_kdump_kernel() usable for modules. Leave 'elfcorehdr' as early_param(). This changes powerpc from __setup() to early_param(). It adds an address range check from x86 also on ia64 and powerpc.

2011-03-23userns: security: make capabilities relative to the user namespaceSerge E. Hallyn2-5/+43
- Introduce ns_capable to test for a capability in a non-default user namespace. - Teach cap_capable to handle capabilities in a non-default user namespace. The motivation is to get to the unprivileged creation of new namespaces. It looks like this gets us 90% of the way there, with only potential uid confusion issues left. I still need to handle getting all caps after creation but otherwise I think I have a good starter patch that achieves all of your goals. Changelog: 11/05/2010: [serge] add apparmor 12/14/2010: [serge] fix capabilities to created user namespaces Without this, if user serge creates a user_ns, he won't have capabilities to the user_ns he created. THis is because we were first checking whether his effective caps had the caps he needed and returning -EPERM if not, and THEN checking whether he was the creator. Reverse those checks. 12/16/2010: [serge] security_real_capable needs ns argument in !security case 01/11/2011: [serge] add task_ns_capable helper 01/11/2011: [serge] add nsown_capable() helper per Bastian Blank suggestion 02/16/2011: [serge] fix a logic bug: the root user is always creator of init_user_ns, but should not always have capabilities to it! Fix the check in cap_capable(). 02/21/2011: Add the required user_ns parameter to security_capable, fixing a compile failure. 02/23/2011: Convert some macros to functions as per akpm comments. Some couldn't be converted because we can't easily forward-declare them (they are inline if !SECURITY, extern if SECURITY). Add a current_user_ns function so we can use it in capability.h without #including cred.h. Move all forward declarations together to the top of the #ifdef __KERNEL__ section, and use kernel-doc format. 02/23/2011: Per dhowells, clean up comment in cap_capable(). 02/23/2011: Per akpm, remove unreachable 'return -EPERM' in cap_capable.

2011-03-23userns: add a user_namespace as creator/owner of uts_namespaceSerge E. Hallyn3-2/+15
The expected course of development for user namespaces targeted capabilities is laid out at https://wiki.ubuntu.com/UserNamespace. Goals: - Make it safe for an unprivileged user to unshare namespaces. They will be privileged with respect to the new namespace, but this should only include resources which the unprivileged user already owns. - Provide separate limits and accounting for userids in different namespaces. Status: Currently (as of 2.6.38) you can clone with the CLONE_NEWUSER flag to get a new user namespace if you have the CAP_SYS_ADMIN, CAP_SETUID, and CAP_SETGID capabilities. What this gets you is a whole new set of userids, meaning that user 500 will have a different 'struct user' in your namespace than in other namespaces. So any accounting information stored in struct user will be unique to your namespace. However, throughout the kernel there are checks which - simply check for a capability. Since root in a child namespace has all capabilities, this means that a child namespace is not constrained. - simply compare uid1 == uid2. Since these are the integer uids, uid 500 in namespace 1 will be said to be equal to uid 500 in namespace 2. As a result, the lxc implementation at lxc.sf.net does not use user namespaces. This is actually helpful because it leaves us free to develop user namespaces in such a way that, for some time, user namespaces may be unuseful. Bugs aside, this patchset is supposed to not at all affect systems which are not actively using user namespaces, and only restrict what tasks in child user namespace can do. They begin to limit privilege to a user namespace, so that root in a container cannot kill or ptrace tasks in the parent user namespace, and can only get world access rights to files. Since all files currently belong to the initila user namespace, that means that child user namespaces can only get world access rights to *all* files. While this temporarily makes user namespaces bad for system containers, it starts to get useful for some sandboxing. I've run the 'runltplite.sh' with and without this patchset and found no difference. This patch: copy_process() handles CLONE_NEWUSER before the rest of the namespaces. So in the case of clone(CLONE_NEWUSER|CLONE_NEWUTS) the new uts namespace will have the new user namespace as its owner. That is what we want, since we want root in that new userns to be able to have privilege over it. Changelog: Feb 15: don't set uts_ns->user_ns if we didn't create a new uts_ns.

2011-03-23sysctl: restrict write access to dmesg_restrictRichard Weinberger1-1/+17
When dmesg_restrict is set to 1 CAP_SYS_ADMIN is needed to read the kernel ring buffer. But a root user without CAP_SYS_ADMIN is able to reset dmesg_restrict to 0. This is an issue when e.g. LXC (Linux Containers) are used and complete user space is running without CAP_SYS_ADMIN. A unprivileged and jailed root user can bypass the dmesg_restrict protection. With this patch writing to dmesg_restrict is only allowed when root has CAP_SYS_ADMIN.
