2007-10-17x86: return correct error code from child_rip in x86_64 entry.SAndrey Mirkin
Right now register edi is just cleared before calling do_exit. That is wrong because correct return value will be ignored. Value from rax should be copied to rdi instead of clearing edi.

2007-10-17i386: avoid temporarily inconsistent pte-sJan Beulich
One more of these issues (which were considered fixed a few releases back): other than on x86-64, i386 allows set_fixmap() to replace already present mappings. Consequently, on PAE, care must be taken to not update the high half of a pte while the low half is still holding the old value.

2007-10-17i386: fix section mismatch warning in intel.cSam Ravnborg

Fix bugzilla #8679 WARNING: arch/i386/kernel/built-in.o(.data+0x2148): Section mismatch: reference to .init.text: (between 'thermal_throttle_cpu_notifier' and 'mtrr_mutex') comes because struct notifier_block thermal_throttle_cpu_notifier in arch/i386/kernel/cpu/mcheck/therm_throt.c goes in .data section but the notifier callback function itself has been marked __cpuinit which becomes __init == .init.text when HOTPLUG_CPU=n. The warning is bogus because the callback will never be called out if HOTPLUG_CPU=n in the first place (as one can see from kernel/cpu.c, the cpu_chain itself is __cpuinitdata :-) So, let's mark thermal_throttle_cpu_notifier as __cpuinitdata to fix the section mismatch warning.

2007-10-17[CIFS] fix bad handling of EAGAIN error on kernel_recvmsg in ↵Steve French
cifs_demultiplex_thread When kernel_recvmsg returns -EAGAIN or -ERESTARTSYS, then cifs_demultiplex_thread sleeps for a bit and then tries the read again. When it does this, it's not zeroing out the length and that throws off the value of total_read. Fix it to zero out the length. Can cause memory corruption: If kernel_recvmsg returns an error and total_read is a large enough value, then we'll end up going through the loop again. total_read will be a bogus value, as will (pdu_length-total_read). When this happens we end up calling kernel_recvmsg with a bogus value (possibly larger than the current iov_len). At that point, memcpy_toiovec can overrun iov. It will start walking up the stack, casting other things that are there to struct iovecs (since it assumes that it's been passed an array of them). Any pointer on the stack at an address above the kvec is a candidate for corruption here. Many thanks to Ulrich Obergfell for pointing this out.

2007-10-17[MIPS] SYNC emulation for MIPS I processorsMaciej W. Rozycki
Userland, including the C library and the dynamic linker, is keen to use the SYNC instruction, even for "generic" MIPS I binaries these days. Which makes it less than useful on MIPS I processors. This change adds the emulation, but as our do_ri() infrastructure was not really prepared to take yet another instruction, I have rewritten it and its callees slightly as follows. Now there is only a single place a possible signal is thrown from. The place is at the end of do_ri(). The instruction word is fetched in do_ri() and passed down to handlers. The handlers are called in sequence and return a result that lets the caller decide upon further processing. If the result is positive, then the handler has picked the instruction, but a signal should be thrown and the result is the signal number. If the result is zero, then the handler has successfully simulated the instruction. If the result is negative, then the handler did not handle the instruction; to make it more obvious the calls do not follow the usual 0/-Exxx result convention they now return -1 instead of -EFAULT. The calculation of the return EPC is now at the beginning. The reason is it is easier to handle it there as emulation callees may modify a register and an instruction may be located in delay slot of a branch whose result depends on the register. It has to be undone if a signal is to be raised, but it is not a problem as this is the slow-path case, and both actions are done in single places now rather than the former being scattered through emulation handlers. The part of do_cpu() being covered follows the changes to do_ri(). Signed-off-by: Maciej W. Rozycki <macro@linux-mips.org> Signed-off-by: Ralf Baechle <ralf@linux-mips.org> ---

2007-10-17Implement file posix capabilitiesSerge E. Hallyn
Implement file posix capabilities. This allows programs to be given a subset of root's powers regardless of who runs them, without having to use setuid and giving the binary all of root's powers. This version works with Kaigai Kohei's userspace tools, found at http://www.kaigai.gr.jp/index.php. For more information on how to use this patch, Chris Friedhoff has posted a nice page at http://www.friedhoff.org/fscaps.html. Changelog: Nov 27: Incorporate fixes from Andrew Morton (security-introduce-file-caps-tweaks and security-introduce-file-caps-warning-fix) Fix Kconfig dependency. Fix change signaling behavior when file caps are not compiled in. Nov 13: Integrate comments from Alexey: Remove CONFIG_ ifdef from capability.h, and use %zd for printing a size_t. Nov 13: Fix endianness warnings by sparse as suggested by Alexey Dobriyan. Nov 09: Address warnings of unused variables at cap_bprm_set_security when file capabilities are disabled, and simultaneously clean up the code a little, by pulling the new code into a helper function. Nov 08: For pointers to required userspace tools and how to use them, see http://www.friedhoff.org/fscaps.html. Nov 07: Fix the calculation of the highest bit checked in check_cap_sanity(). Nov 07: Allow file caps to be enabled without CONFIG_SECURITY, since capabilities are the default. Hook cap_task_setscheduler when !CONFIG_SECURITY. Move capable(TASK_KILL) to end of cap_task_kill to reduce audit messages. Nov 05: Add secondary calls in selinux/hooks.c to task_setioprio and task_setscheduler so that selinux and capabilities with file cap support can be stacked. Sep 05: As Seth Arnold points out, uid checks are out of place for capability code. Sep 01: Define task_setscheduler, task_setioprio, cap_task_kill, and task_setnice to make sure a user cannot affect a process in which they called a program with some fscaps. One remaining question is the note under task_setscheduler: are we ok with CAP_SYS_NICE being sufficient to confine a process to a cpuset? It is a semantic change, as without fsccaps, attach_task doesn't allow CAP_SYS_NICE to override the uid equivalence check. But since it uses security_task_setscheduler, which elsewhere is used where CAP_SYS_NICE can be used to override the uid equivalence check, fixing it might be tough. task_setscheduler note: this also controls cpuset:attach_task. Are we ok with CAP_SYS_NICE being used to confine to a cpuset? task_setioprio task_setnice sys_setpriority uses this (through set_one_prio) for another process. Need same checks as setrlimit Aug 21: Updated secureexec implementation to reflect the fact that euid and uid might be the same and nonzero, but the process might still have elevated caps. Aug 15: Handle endianness of xattrs. Enforce capability version match between kernel and disk. Enforce that no bits beyond the known max capability are set, else return -EPERM. With this extra processing, it may be worth reconsidering doing all the work at bprm_set_security rather than d_instantiate. Aug 10: Always call getxattr at bprm_set_security, rather than caching it at d_instantiate.

2007-10-17security: Convert LSM into a static interfaceJames Morris
Convert LSM into a static interface, as the ability to unload a security module is not required by in-tree users and potentially complicates the overall security architecture. Needlessly exported LSM symbols have been unexported, to help reduce API abuse. Parameters for the capability and root_plug modules are now specified at boot. The SECURITY_FRAMEWORK_VERSION macro has also been removed. In a nutshell, there is no safe way to unload an LSM. The modular interface is thus unecessary and broken infrastructure. It is used only by out-of-tree modules, which are often binary-only, illegal, abusive of the API and dangerous, e.g. silently re-vectoring SELinux.

2007-10-17Update DMA-mapping documentationMatthew Wilcox
A couple of updates haven't considered whether the documentation makes sense as a whole any more. Three changes here: - Remove the reference to the "DAC Addressing for Address Space Hungry Devices" section which was deleted by Jan Beulich. - Remove the comment about DMA_24BIT_MASK which became obsolete when Tobias Klauser changed the code to actually use DMA_24BIT_MASK. - Remove the section "64-bit DMA and DAC cycle support" since it's fully covered above, and contains a reference to the section deleted by Jan.
