2011-08-11move RLIMIT_NPROC check from set_user() to do_execve_common()Vasiliy Kulikov
The patch http://lkml.org/lkml/2003/7/13/226 introduced an RLIMIT_NPROC check in set_user() to check for NPROC exceeding via setuid() and similar functions. Before the check there was a possibility to greatly exceed the allowed number of processes by an unprivileged user if the program relied on rlimit only. But the check created new security threat: many poorly written programs simply don't check setuid() return code and believe it cannot fail if executed with root privileges. So, the check is removed in this patch because of too often privilege escalations related to buggy programs. The NPROC can still be enforced in the common code flow of daemons spawning user processes. Most of daemons do fork()+setuid()+execve(). The check introduced in execve() (1) enforces the same limit as in setuid() and (2) doesn't create similar security issues. Neil Brown suggested to track what specific process has exceeded the limit by setting PF_NPROC_EXCEEDED process flag. With the change only this process would fail on execve(), and other processes' execve() behaviour is not changed. Solar Designer suggested to re-check whether NPROC limit is still exceeded at the moment of execve(). If the process was sleeping for days between set*uid() and execve(), and the NPROC counter step down under the limit, the defered execve() failure because NPROC limit was exceeded days ago would be unexpected. If the limit is not exceeded anymore, we clear the flag on successful calls to execve() and fork(). The flag is also cleared on successful calls to set_user() as the limit was exceeded for the previous user, not the current one. Similar check was introduced in -ow patches (without the process flag). v3 - clear PF_NPROC_EXCEEDED on successful calls to set_user().

2011-08-10Tracepoint: Dissociate from module mutexMathieu Desnoyers
Copy the information needed from struct module into a local module list held within tracepoint.c from within the module coming/going notifier. This vastly simplifies locking of tracepoint registration / unregistration, because we don't have to take the module mutex to register and unregister tracepoints anymore. Steven Rostedt ran into dependency problems related to modules mutex vs kprobes mutex vs ftrace mutex vs tracepoint mutex that seems to be hard to fix without removing this dependency between tracepoint and module mutex. (note: it should be investigated whether kprobes could benefit of being dissociated from the modules mutex too.) This also fixes module handling of tracepoint list iterators, because it was expecting the list to be sorted by pointer address. Given we have control on our own list now, it's OK to sort this list which has tracepoints as its only purpose. The reason why this sorting is required is to handle the fact that seq files (and any read() operation from user-space) cannot hold the tracepoint mutex across multiple calls, so list entries may vanish between calls. With sorting, the tracepoint iterator becomes usable even if the list don't contain the exact item pointed to by the iterator anymore.

2011-08-10alarmtimers: Change alarmtimer functions to return alarmtimer_restart valuesJohn Stultz
In order to properly fix the denial of service issue with high freq periodic alarm timers, we need to push the re-arming logic into the alarm timer handler, much as the hrtimer code does. This patch introduces alarmtimer_restart enum and changes the alarmtimer handler declarations to use it as a return value.

2011-08-10HID: Fix race condition between driver core and ll-driverDavid Herrmann
HID low level drivers register new devices with the HID core which then adds the devices to the HID bus. The HID bus normally immediately probes an appropriate driver which then handles HID input for this device. The ll driver now uses the hid_input_report() function to report input events for a specific device. However, if the HID bus unloads the driver at the same time (for instance via a call to /sys/bus/hid/devices/<dev>/unbind) then the hdev->driver pointer may be used by hid_input_report() and hid_device_remove() at the same time which may cause hdev->driver to point to invalid memory. This fix adds a semaphore to every hid device which protects hdev->driver from asynchronous access. This semaphore is locked during driver *_probe and *_remove and also inside hid_input_report(). The *_probe and *_remove functions may sleep so the semaphore is good here, however, hid_input_report() is in atomic context and hence only uses down_trylock(). If it cannot acquire the lock it simply drops the input package. The low-level drivers report input events synchronously so hid_input_report() should never be entered twice at the same time on the same device. Hence, the lock should always be available. But if the driver is currently probed/removed then the lock is not available and dropping the package should be safe because this is what would have happened if the package arrived some milliseconds earlier/later. This also fixes another race condition while probing drivers: First the *_probe function of the driver is called and only if that succeeds, the related input device of hidinput is registered. If the low level driver reports input events after the *_probe function returned but before the input device is registered, then a NULL pointer dereference will occur. (Equivalently on driver remove function). This is not possible anymore, since the semaphore lock drops all incoming packages until the driver/device is fully initialized.

This is needed to match wireless cards with Intersil firmware that have ID 0x0156:0x0002 and the third ID "Version 01.02". Such cards are currently matched by orinoco_cs, which doesn't support WPA. They should be matched by hostap_cs. The first and the second product ID vary widely, so there are few users with some particular IDs. Of those, very few can submit a patch for hostap_cs or write a useful bugreport. It's still important to support their hardware properly.

2011-08-08fuse: fix flockMiklos Szeredi
Commit a9ff4f87 "fuse: support BSD locking semantics" overlooked a number of issues with supporing flock locks over existing POSIX locking infrastructure: - it's not backward compatible, passing flock(2) calls to userspace unconditionally (if userspace sets FUSE_POSIX_LOCKS) - it doesn't cater for the fact that flock locks are automatically unlocked on file release - it doesn't take into account the fact that flock exclusive locks (write locks) don't need an fd opened for write. The last one invalidates the original premise of the patch that flock locks can be emulated with POSIX locks. This patch fixes the first two issues. The last one needs to be fixed in userspace if the filesystem assumed that a write lock will happen only on a file operned for write (as in the case of the current fuse library).
