2018-01-31Merge branch 'next-integrity' of ↵Linus Torvalds
git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/jmorris/linux-security Pull integrity updates from James Morris: "This contains a mixture of bug fixes, code cleanup, and new functionality. Of note is the integrity cache locking fix, file change detection, and support for a new EVM portable and immutable signature type. The re-introduction of the integrity cache lock (iint) fixes the problem of attempting to take the i_rwsem shared a second time, when it was previously taken exclusively. Defining atomic flags resolves the original iint/i_rwsem circular locking - accessing the file data vs. modifying the file metadata. Although it fixes the O_DIRECT problem as well, a subsequent patch is needed to remove the explicit O_DIRECT prevention. For performance reasons, detecting when a file has changed and needs to be re-measured, re-appraised, and/or re-audited, was limited to after the last writer has closed, and only if the file data has changed. Detecting file change is based on i_version. For filesystems that do not support i_version, remote filesystems, or userspace filesystems, the file was measured, appraised and/or audited once and never re-evaluated. Now local filesystems, which do not support i_version or are not mounted with the i_version option, assume the file has changed and are required to re-evaluate the file. This change does not address detecting file change on remote or userspace filesystems. Unlike file data signatures, which can be included and distributed in software packages (eg. rpm, deb), the existing EVM signature, which protects the file metadata, could not be included in software packages, as it includes file system specific information (eg. i_ino, possibly the UUID). This pull request defines a new EVM portable and immutable file metadata signature format, which can be included in software packages" * 'next-integrity' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/jmorris/linux-security: ima/policy: fix parsing of fsuuid ima: Use i_version only when filesystem supports it integrity: remove unneeded initializations in integrity_iint_cache entries ima: log message to module appraisal error ima: pass filename to ima_rdwr_violation_check() ima: Fix line continuation format ima: support new "hash" and "dont_hash" policy actions ima: re-introduce own integrity cache lock EVM: Add support for portable signature format EVM: Allow userland to permit modification of EVM-protected metadata ima: relax requiring a file signature for new files with zero length

2017-12-19siox: new driver framework for eckelmann SIOXUwe Kleine-König
SIOX is a bus system invented at Eckelmann AG to control their building management and refrigeration systems. Traditionally the bus was implemented on custom microcontrollers, today Linux based machines are in use, too. The topology on a SIOX bus looks as follows: ,------->--DCLK-->---------------+----------------------. ^ v v ,--------. ,----------------------. ,------ | | | ,--------------. | | | |--->--DOUT-->---|->-|shift register|->-|--->---| | | | `--------------' | | | master | | device | | device | | | ,--------------. | | | |---<--DIN---<---|-<-|shift register|-<-|---<---| | | | `--------------' | | `--------' `----------------------' `------ v ^ ^ `----------DLD-------------------+----------------------' There are two control lines (DCLK and DLD) driven from the bus master to all devices in parallel and two daisy chained data lines, one for input and one for output. DCLK is the clock to shift both chains by a single bit. On an edge of DLD the devices latch both their input and output shift registers. This patch adds a framework for this bus type.

2017-12-18ima: support new "hash" and "dont_hash" policy actionsMimi Zohar
The builtin ima_appraise_tcb policy, which is specified on the boot command line, can be replaced with a custom policy, normally early in the boot process. Custom policies can be more restrictive in some ways, like requiring file signatures, but can be less restrictive in other ways, like not appraising mutable files. With a less restrictive policy in place, files in the builtin policy might not be hashed and labeled with a security.ima hash. On reboot, files which should be labeled in the ima_appraise_tcb are not labeled, possibly preventing the system from booting properly. To resolve this problem, this patch extends the existing IMA policy actions "measure", "dont_measure", "appraise", "dont_appraise", and "audit" with "hash" and "dont_hash". The new "hash" action will write the file hash as security.ima, but without requiring the file to be appraised as well. For example, the builtin ima_appraise_tcb policy includes the rule, "appraise fowner=0". Adding the "hash fowner=0" rule to a custom policy, will cause the needed file hashes to be calculated and written as security.ima xattrs.

2017-12-11EVM: Allow userland to permit modification of EVM-protected metadataMatthew Garrett
When EVM is enabled it forbids modification of metadata protected by EVM unless there is already a valid EVM signature. If any modification is made, the kernel will then generate a new EVM HMAC. However, this does not map well on use cases which use only asymmetric EVM signatures, as in this scenario the kernel is unable to generate new signatures. This patch extends the /sys/kernel/security/evm interface to allow userland to request that modification of these xattrs be permitted. This is only permitted if no keys have already been loaded. In this configuration, modifying the metadata will invalidate the EVM appraisal on the file in question. This allows packaging systems to write out new files, set the relevant extended attributes and then move them into place. There's also some refactoring of the use of evm_initialized in order to avoid heading down codepaths that assume there's a key available.

2017-12-08usb: xhci: Add DbC support in xHCI driverLu Baolu
xHCI compatible USB host controllers(i.e. super-speed USB3 controllers) can be implemented with the Debug Capability(DbC). It presents a debug device which is fully compliant with the USB framework and provides the equivalent of a very high performance full-duplex serial link. The debug capability operation model and registers interface are defined in 7.6.8 of the xHCI specification, revision 1.1. The DbC debug device shares a root port with the xHCI host. By default, the debug capability is disabled and the root port is assigned to xHCI. When the DbC is enabled, the root port will be assigned to the DbC debug device, and the xHCI sees nothing on this port. This implementation uses a sysfs node named <dbc> under the xHCI device to manage the enabling and disabling of the debug capability. When the debug capability is enabled, it will present a debug device through the debug port. This debug device is fully compliant with the USB3 framework, and it can be enumerated by a debug host on the other end of the USB link. As soon as the debug device is configured, a TTY serial device named /dev/ttyDBC0 will be created.

2017-12-07livepatch: force transition to finishMiroslav Benes
If a task sleeps in a set of patched functions uninterruptedly, it could block the whole transition indefinitely. Thus it may be useful to clear its TIF_PATCH_PENDING to allow the process to finish. Admin can do that now by writing to force sysfs attribute in livepatch sysfs directory. TIF_PATCH_PENDING is then cleared for all tasks and the transition can finish successfully. Important note! Administrator should not use this feature without a clearance from a patch distributor. It must be checked that by doing so the consistency model guarantees are not violated. Removal (rmmod) of patch modules is permanently disabled when the feature is used. It cannot be guaranteed there is no task sleeping in such module.

2017-12-04livepatch: send a fake signal to all blocking tasksMiroslav Benes
Live patching consistency model is of LEAVE_PATCHED_SET and SWITCH_THREAD. This means that all tasks in the system have to be marked one by one as safe to call a new patched function. Safe means when a task is not (sleeping) in a set of patched functions. That is, no patched function is on the task's stack. Another clearly safe place is the boundary between kernel and userspace. The patching waits for all tasks to get outside of the patched set or to cross the boundary. The transition is completed afterwards. The problem is that a task can block the transition for quite a long time, if not forever. It could sleep in a set of patched functions, for example. Luckily we can force the task to leave the set by sending it a fake signal, that is a signal with no data in signal pending structures (no handler, no sign of proper signal delivered). Suspend/freezer use this to freeze the tasks as well. The task gets TIF_SIGPENDING set and is woken up (if it has been sleeping in the kernel before) or kicked by rescheduling IPI (if it was running on other CPU). This causes the task to go to kernel/userspace boundary where the signal would be handled and the task would be marked as safe in terms of live patching. There are tasks which are not affected by this technique though. The fake signal is not sent to kthreads. They should be handled differently. They can be woken up so they leave the patched set and their TIF_PATCH_PENDING can be cleared thanks to stack checking. For the sake of completeness, if the task is in TASK_RUNNING state but not currently running on some CPU it doesn't get the IPI, but it would eventually handle the signal anyway. Second, if the task runs in the kernel (in TASK_RUNNING state) it gets the IPI, but the signal is not handled on return from the interrupt. It would be handled on return to the userspace in the future when the fake signal is sent again. Stack checking deals with these cases in a better way. If the task was sleeping in a syscall it would be woken by our fake signal, it would check if TIF_SIGPENDING is set (by calling signal_pending() predicate) and return ERESTART* or EINTR. Syscalls with ERESTART* return values are restarted in case of the fake signal (see do_signal()). EINTR is propagated back to the userspace program. This could disturb the program, but... * each process dealing with signals should react accordingly to EINTR return values. * syscalls returning EINTR happen to be quite common situation in the system even if no fake signal is sent. * freezer sends the fake signal and does not deal with EINTR anyhow. Thus EINTR values are returned when the system is resumed. The very safe marking is done in architectures' "entry" on syscall and interrupt/exception exit paths, and in a stack checking functions of livepatch. TIF_PATCH_PENDING is cleared and the next recalc_sigpending() drops TIF_SIGPENDING. In connection with this, also call klp_update_patch_state() before do_signal(), so that recalc_sigpending() in dequeue_signal() can clear TIF_PATCH_PENDING immediately and thus prevent a double call of do_signal(). Note that the fake signal is not sent to stopped/traced tasks. Such task prevents the patching to finish till it continues again (is not traced anymore). Last, sending the fake signal is not automatic. It is done only when admin requests it by writing 1 to signal sysfs attribute in livepatch sysfs directory.

No inversion semantics as before, but also no open draining, and allow the raw operations to affect lines used for interrupts as the caller supposedly knows what they are doing if they are getting the big hammer. - Rewrote the __inner_function() notation calls to names that make more sense. I just find this kind of code disturbing. - Drop the .irq_base() field from the gpiochip since now all IRQs are mapped dynamically. This is nice. - Support for .get_multiple() in the core driver API. This allows us to read several GPIO lines with a single register read. This has high value for some usecases: it can be used to create oscilloscopes and signal analyzers and other things that rely on reading several lines at exactly the same instant. Also a generally nice optimization. This uses the new assign_bit() macro from the bitops lib that was ACKed by Andrew Morton and is implemented for two drivers, one of them being the generic MMIO driver so everyone using that will be able to benefit from this. - Do not allow requests of Open Drain and Open Source setting of a GPIO line simultaneously. If the hardware actually supports enabling both at the same time the electrical result would be disastrous. - A new interrupt chip core helper. This will be helpful to deal with "banked" GPIOs, which means GPIO controllers with several logical blocks of GPIO inside them. This is several gpiochips per device in the device model, in contrast to the case when there is a 1-to-1 relationship between a device and a gpiochip.

For now it's just a way to avoid resuming devices from runtime suspend unnecessarily during system suspend (if the driver sets a flag to indicate its readiness for that) and in the works is an analogous mechanism to allow devices to stay suspended after system resume. In addition to that, we have some changes related to supporting frequency-invariant CPU utilization metrics in the scheduler and in the schedutil cpufreq governor on ARM and changes to add support for device performance states to the generic power domains (genpd) framework. The rest is mostly fixes and cleanups of various sorts. Specifics: - Relocate the OPP (Operating Performance Points) framework to its own directory under drivers/ and add support for power domain performance states to it (Viresh Kumar). - Modify the PM core, the PCI bus type and the ACPI PM domain to support power management driver flags allowing device drivers to specify their capabilities and preferences regarding the handling of devices with enabled runtime PM during system suspend/resume and clean up that code somewhat (Rafael Wysocki, Ulf Hansson). - Add frequency-invariant accounting support to the task scheduler on ARM and ARM64 (Dietmar Eggemann). - Fix PM QoS device resume latency framework to prevent "no restriction" requests from overriding requests with specific requirements and drop the confusing PM_QOS_FLAG_REMOTE_WAKEUP device PM QoS flag (Rafael Wysocki). - Drop legacy class suspend/resume operations from the PM core and drop legacy bus type suspend and resume callbacks from ARM/locomo (Rafael Wysocki). - Add min/max frequency support to devfreq and clean it up somewhat (Chanwoo Choi). - Rework wakeup support in the generic power domains (genpd) framework and update some of its users accordingly (Geert Uytterhoeven). - Convert timers in the PM core to use timer_setup() (Kees Cook). - Add support for exposing the SLP_S0 (Low Power S0 Idle) residency counter based on the LPIT ACPI table on Intel platforms (Srinivas Pandruvada). - Add per-CPU PM QoS resume latency support to the ladder cpuidle governor (Ramesh Thomas). - Fix a deadlock between the wakeup notify handler and the notifier removal in the ACPI core (Ville Syrjälä). - Fix a cpufreq schedutil governor issue causing it to use stale cached frequency values sometimes (Viresh Kumar). - Fix an issue in the system suspend core support code causing wakeup events detection to fail in some cases (Rajat Jain). - Fix the generic power domains (genpd) framework to prevent the PM core from using the direct-complete optimization with it as that is guaranteed to fail (Ulf Hansson). - Fix a minor issue in the cpuidle core and clean it up a bit (Gaurav Jindal, Nicholas Piggin). - Fix and clean up the intel_idle and ARM cpuidle drivers (Jason Baron, Len Brown, Leo Yan). - Fix a couple of minor issues in the OPP framework and clean it up (Arvind Yadav, Fabio Estevam, Sudeep Holla, Tobias Jordan). - Fix and clean up some cpufreq drivers and fix a minor issue in the cpufreq statistics code (Arvind Yadav, Bhumika Goyal, Fabio Estevam, Gautham Shenoy, Gustavo Silva, Marek Szyprowski, Masahiro Yamada, Robert Jarzmik, Zumeng Chen). - Fix minor issues in the system suspend and hibernation core, in power management documentation and in the AVS (Adaptive Voltage Scaling) framework (Helge Deller, Himanshu Jha, Joe Perches, Rafael Wysocki). - Fix some issues in the cpupower utility and document that Shuah Khan is going to maintain it going forward (Prarit Bhargava, Shuah Khan)" * tag 'pm-4.15-rc1' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/rafael/linux-pm: (88 commits) tools/power/cpupower: add libcpupower.so.0.0.1 to .gitignore tools/power/cpupower: Add 64 bit library detection intel_idle: Graceful probe failure when MWAIT is disabled cpufreq: schedutil: Reset cached_raw_freq when not in sync with next_freq freezer: Fix typo in freezable_schedule_timeout() comment PM / s2idle: Clear the events_check_enabled flag cpufreq: stats: Handle the case when trans_table goes beyond PAGE_SIZE cpufreq: arm_big_little: make cpufreq_arm_bL_ops structures const cpufreq: arm_big_little: make function arguments and structure pointer const cpuidle: Avoid assignment in if () argument cpuidle: Clean up cpuidle_enable_device() error handling a bit ACPI / PM: Fix acpi_pm_notifier_lock vs flush_workqueue() deadlock PM / Domains: Fix genpd to deal with drivers returning 1 from ->prepare() cpuidle: ladder: Add per CPU PM QoS resume latency support PM / QoS: Fix device resume latency framework PM / domains: Rework governor code to be more consistent PM / Domains: Remove gpd_dev_ops.active_wakeup() callback soc: rockchip: power-domain: Use GENPD_FLAG_ACTIVE_WAKEUP soc: mediatek: Use GENPD_FLAG_ACTIVE_WAKEUP ARM: shmobile: pm-rmobile: Use GENPD_FLAG_ACTIVE_WAKEUP ...

2017-11-08EVM: Allow userspace to signal an RSA key has been loadedMatthew Garrett
EVM will only perform validation once a key has been loaded. This key may either be a symmetric trusted key (for HMAC validation and creation) or the public half of an asymmetric key (for digital signature validation). The /sys/kernel/security/evm interface allows userland to signal that a symmetric key has been loaded, but does not allow userland to signal that an asymmetric public key has been loaded. This patch extends the interface to permit userspace to pass a bitmask of loaded key types. It also allows userspace to block loading of a symmetric key in order to avoid a compromised system from being able to load an additional key type later.

2017-11-08PM / QoS: Fix device resume latency frameworkRafael J. Wysocki
The special value of 0 for device resume latency PM QoS means "no restriction", but there are two problems with that. First, device resume latency PM QoS requests with 0 as the value are always put in front of requests with positive values in the priority lists used internally by the PM QoS framework, causing 0 to be chosen as an effective constraint value. However, that 0 is then interpreted as "no restriction" effectively overriding the other requests with specific restrictions which is incorrect. Second, the users of device resume latency PM QoS have no way to specify that *any* resume latency at all should be avoided, which is an artificial limitation in general. To address these issues, modify device resume latency PM QoS to use S32_MAX as the "no constraint" value and 0 as the "no latency at all" one and rework its users (the cpuidle menu governor, the genpd QoS governor and the runtime PM framework) to follow these changes. Also add a special "n/a" value to the corresponding user space I/F to allow user space to indicate that it cannot accept any resume latencies at all for the given device.
