2009-09-02KEYS: Add a keyctl to install a process's session keyring on its parent [try #6]David Howells
Add a keyctl to install a process's session keyring onto its parent. This replaces the parent's session keyring. Because the COW credential code does not permit one process to change another process's credentials directly, the change is deferred until userspace next starts executing again. Normally this will be after a wait*() syscall. To support this, three new security hooks have been provided: cred_alloc_blank() to allocate unset security creds, cred_transfer() to fill in the blank security creds and key_session_to_parent() - which asks the LSM if the process may replace its parent's session keyring. The replacement may only happen if the process has the same ownership details as its parent, and the process has LINK permission on the session keyring, and the session keyring is owned by the process, and the LSM permits it. Note that this requires alteration to each architecture's notify_resume path. This has been done for all arches barring blackfin, m68k* and xtensa, all of which need assembly alteration to support TIF_NOTIFY_RESUME. This allows the replacement to be performed at the point the parent process resumes userspace execution. This allows the userspace AFS pioctl emulation to fully emulate newpag() and the VIOCSETTOK and VIOCSETTOK2 pioctls, all of which require the ability to alter the parent process's PAG membership. However, since kAFS doesn't use PAGs per se, but rather dumps the keys into the session keyring, the session keyring of the parent must be replaced if, for example, VIOCSETTOK is passed the newpag flag. This can be tested with the following program: #include <stdio.h> #include <stdlib.h> #include <keyutils.h> #define KEYCTL_SESSION_TO_PARENT 18 #define OSERROR(X, S) do { if ((long)(X) == -1) { perror(S); exit(1); } } while(0) int main(int argc, char **argv) { key_serial_t keyring, key; long ret; keyring = keyctl_join_session_keyring(argv[1]); OSERROR(keyring, "keyctl_join_session_keyring"); key = add_key("user", "a", "b", 1, keyring); OSERROR(key, "add_key"); ret = keyctl(KEYCTL_SESSION_TO_PARENT); OSERROR(ret, "KEYCTL_SESSION_TO_PARENT"); return 0; } Compiled and linked with -lkeyutils, you should see something like: [dhowells@andromeda ~]$ keyctl show Session Keyring -3 --alswrv 4043 4043 keyring: _ses 355907932 --alswrv 4043 -1 \_ keyring: _uid.4043 [dhowells@andromeda ~]$ /tmp/newpag [dhowells@andromeda ~]$ keyctl show Session Keyring -3 --alswrv 4043 4043 keyring: _ses 1055658746 --alswrv 4043 4043 \_ user: a [dhowells@andromeda ~]$ /tmp/newpag hello [dhowells@andromeda ~]$ keyctl show Session Keyring -3 --alswrv 4043 4043 keyring: hello 340417692 --alswrv 4043 4043 \_ user: a Where the test program creates a new session keyring, sticks a user key named 'a' into it and then installs it on its parent.

2009-08-31x86: apic namespace cleanupThomas Gleixner
boot_cpu_physical_apicid is a global variable and used as function argument as well. Rename the function arguments to avoid confusion. Signed-off-by: Thomas Gleixner <tglx@linutronix.de>
2009-08-31x86: Distangle ioapic and i8259Thomas Gleixner
The proposed Moorestown support patches use an extra feature flag mechanism to make the ioapic work w/o an i8259. There is a much simpler solution. Most i8259 specific functions are already called dependend on the irq number less than NR_IRQS_LEGACY. Replacing that constant by a read_mostly variable which can be set to 0 by the platform setup code allows us to achieve the same without any special feature flags. That trivial change allows us to proceed with MRST w/o doing a full blown overhaul of the ioapic code which would delay MRST unduly. Signed-off-by: Thomas Gleixner <tglx@linutronix.de>
2009-08-31x86: Add Moorestown early detectionThomas Gleixner
Moorestown MID devices need to be detected early in the boot process to setup and do not call x86_default_early_setup as there is no EBDA region to reserve.

2009-08-31x86: Add early platform detectionThomas Gleixner
Platforms like Moorestown require early setup and want to avoid the call to reserve_ebda_region. The x86_init override is too late when the MRST detection happens in setup_arch. Move the default i386 x86_init overrides and the call to reserve_ebda_region into a separate function which is called as the default of a switch case depending on the hardware_subarch id in boot params. This allows us to add a case for MRST and let MRST have its own early setup function. Signed-off-by: Thomas Gleixner <tglx@linutronix.de>
2009-08-31x86: Move tsc_init to late_time_initThomas Gleixner
We do not need the TSC before late_time_init. Move the tsc_init to the late time init code so we can also utilize HPET for calibration (which we claimed to do but never did except in some older kernel version). This also helps Moorestown to calibrate the TSC with the AHBT timer which needs to be initialized in late_time_init like HPET. Signed-off-by: Thomas Gleixner <tglx@linutronix.de>
2009-08-31x86: Move tsc_calibration to x86_init_opsThomas Gleixner
TSC calibration is modified by the vmware hypervisor and paravirt by separate means. Moorestown wants to add its own calibration routine as well.

2009-08-30kprobes/x86: Call BUG() when reentering probe into KPROBES_HIT_SSMasami Hiramatsu
Call BUG() when a probe have been hit on the way of kprobe processing path, because that kind of probes are currently unrecoverable (recovering it will cause an infinite loop and stack overflow). The original code seems to assume that it's caused by an int3 which another subsystem inserted on out-of-line singlestep buffer if the hitting probe is same as current probe. However, in that case, int3-hitting-address is on the out-of-line buffer and should be different from first (current) int3 address. Thus, I decided to remove the code. I also removes arch_disarm_kprobe() because it will involve other stuffs in text_poke().

2009-08-29x86: Fix earlyprintk=dbgp for machines without NXJan Beulich
Since parse_early_param() may (e.g. for earlyprintk=dbgp) involve calls to page table manipulation functions (here set_fixmap_nocache()), NX hardware support must be determined before calling that function (so that __supported_pte_mask gets properly set up). But the call after parse_early_param() can also not go away, as that will honor eventual command line specified disabling of the NX functionality. ( This will then just result in whatever mappings got established during parse_early_param() having the NX bit set despite it being disabled on the command line, but I think that's tolerable).

2009-08-28clocksource: Resolve cpu hotplug dead lock with TSC unstableThomas Gleixner
Martin Schwidefsky analyzed it: To register a clocksource the clocksource_mutex is acquired and if necessary timekeeping_notify is called to install the clocksource as the timekeeper clock. timekeeping_notify uses stop_machine which needs to take cpu_add_remove_lock mutex. Starting a new cpu is done with the cpu_add_remove_lock mutex held. native_cpu_up checks the tsc of the new cpu and if the tsc is no good clocksource_change_rating is called. Which needs the clocksource_mutex and the deadlock is complete. The solution is to replace the TSC via the clocksource watchdog mechanism. Mark the TSC as unstable and schedule the watchdog work so it gets removed in the watchdog thread context.
