It is unexpected to block reading of frozen filesystem because of atime update.
Also handling blocking on frozen filesystem because of atime update would make
locking more complex than it already is. So just skip atime update when
filesystem is frozen like we skip it when filesystem is remounted read-only.

Most of places where we want freeze protection coincides with the places where
we also have remount-ro protection. So make mnt_want_write() and
mnt_drop_write() (and their _file alternative) prevent freezing as well.
For the few cases that are really interested only in remount-ro protection
provide new function variants.

vfs_check_frozen() tests are racy since the filesystem can be frozen just after
the test is performed. Thus in write paths we can end up marking some pages or
inodes dirty even though the file system is already frozen. This creates
problems with flusher thread hanging on frozen filesystem.
Another problem is that exclusion between ->page_mkwrite() and filesystem
freezing has been handled by setting page dirty and then verifying s_frozen.
This guaranteed that either the freezing code sees the faulted page, writes it,
and writeprotects it again or we see s_frozen set and bail out of page fault.
This works to protect from page being marked writeable while filesystem
freezing is running but has an unpleasant artefact of leaving dirty (although
unmodified and writeprotected) pages on frozen filesystem resulting in similar
problems with flusher thread as the first problem.
This patch aims at providing exclusion between write paths and filesystem
freezing. We implement a writer-freeze read-write semaphore in the superblock.
Actually, there are three such semaphores because of lock ranking reasons - one
for page fault handlers (->page_mkwrite), one for all other writers, and one of
internal filesystem purposes (used e.g. to track running transactions). Write
paths which should block freezing (e.g. directory operations, ->aio_write(),
->page_mkwrite) hold reader side of the semaphore. Code freezing the filesystem
takes the writer side.
Only that we don't really want to bounce cachelines of the semaphores between
CPUs for each write happening. So we implement the reader side of the semaphore
as a per-cpu counter and the writer side is implemented using s_writers.frozen
superblock field.

Currently, mnt_want_write() is sometimes called with i_mutex held and sometimes
without it. This isn't really a problem because mnt_want_write() is a
non-blocking operation (essentially has a trylock semantics) but when the
function starts to handle also frozen filesystems, it will get a full lock
semantics and thus proper lock ordering has to be established. So move
all mnt_want_write() calls outside of i_mutex.
One non-trivial case needing conversion is kern_path_create() /
user_path_create() which didn't include mnt_want_write() but now needs to
because it acquires i_mutex. Because there are virtual file systems which
don't bother with freeze / remount-ro protection we actually provide both
versions of the function - one which calls mnt_want_write() and one which does
not.
[AV: scratch the previous, mnt_want_write() has been moved to kern_path_create()
by now]

Filesystems wanting to properly support freezing need to have control
when file_update_time() is called. After pushing file_update_time()
to all relevant .page_mkwrite implementations we can just stop calling
file_update_time() when filesystem implements .page_mkwrite.

The write ref to vfsmount taken in lookup_open()/atomic_open() is going to
be dropped; we take the one to stay in dentry_open(). Just grab the temporary
in caller if it looks like we are going to need it (create/truncate/writable open)
and pass (by value) "has it succeeded" flag. Instead of doing mnt_want_write()
inside, check that flag and treat "false" as "mnt_want_write() has just failed".
mnt_want_write() is cheap and the things get considerably simpler and more robust
that way - we get it and drop it in the same function, to start with, rather
than passing a "has something in the guts of really scary functions taken it"
back to caller.

This adds symlink and hardlink restrictions to the Linux VFS.
Symlinks:
A long-standing class of security issues is the symlink-based
time-of-check-time-of-use race, most commonly seen in world-writable
directories like /tmp. The common method of exploitation of this flaw
is to cross privilege boundaries when following a given symlink (i.e. a
root process follows a symlink belonging to another user). For a likely
incomplete list of hundreds of examples across the years, please see:
http://cve.mitre.org/cgi-bin/cvekey.cgi?keyword=/tmp
The solution is to permit symlinks to only be followed when outside
a sticky world-writable directory, or when the uid of the symlink and
follower match, or when the directory owner matches the symlink's owner.
Some pointers to the history of earlier discussion that I could find:

Past objections and rebuttals could be summarized as:
- Violates POSIX.
- POSIX didn't consider this situation and it's not useful to follow
a broken specification at the cost of security.
- Might break unknown applications that use this feature.
- Applications that break because of the change are easy to spot and
fix. Applications that are vulnerable to symlink ToCToU by not having
the change aren't. Additionally, no applications have yet been found
that rely on this behavior.
- Applications should just use mkstemp() or O_CREATE|O_EXCL.
- True, but applications are not perfect, and new software is written
all the time that makes these mistakes; blocking this flaw at the
kernel is a single solution to the entire class of vulnerability.
- This should live in the core VFS.
- This should live in an LSM. (https://lkml.org/lkml/2010/5/31/135)

- This should live in the core VFS. (https://lkml.org/lkml/2010/8/2/188)
Hardlinks:
On systems that have user-writable directories on the same partition
as system files, a long-standing class of security issues is the
hardlink-based time-of-check-time-of-use race, most commonly seen in
world-writable directories like /tmp. The common method of exploitation
of this flaw is to cross privilege boundaries when following a given
hardlink (i.e. a root process follows a hardlink created by another
user). Additionally, an issue exists where users can "pin" a potentially
vulnerable setuid/setgid file so that an administrator will not actually
upgrade a system fully.
The solution is to permit hardlinks to only be created when the user is
already the existing file's owner, or if they already have read/write
access to the existing file.
Many Linux users are surprised when they learn they can link to files
they have no access to, so this change appears to follow the doctrine
of "least surprise". Additionally, this change does not violate POSIX,
which states "the implementation may require that the calling process
has permission to access the existing file"[1].
This change is known to break some implementations of the "at" daemon,
though the version used by Fedora and Ubuntu has been fixed[2] for
a while. Otherwise, the change has been undisruptive while in use in
Ubuntu for the last 1.5 years.

This patch is based on the patches in Openwall and grsecurity, along with
suggestions from Al Viro. I have added a sysctl to enable the protected
behavior, and documentation.

The problem is that do_last is passing a negative dentry to audit_inode.
The comments on lookup_open note that it can pass back a negative dentry
if O_CREAT is not set.
This patch fixes the oops, but I'm not clear on whether there's a better
approach.

a) vfs_llseek() does *not* access userland pointers of any kind
b) neither does filp_close(), for that matter
c) ... nor filp_open()
d) vfs_read() does, but we do have a wrapper for that (kernel_read()),
so there's no need to reinvent it.
e) passing current->files to filp_close() on something that never
had been in descriptor table is pointless.

Note that applying umask can't affect their results. While
that affects errno in cases like
mknod("/no_such_directory/a", 030000)
yielding -EINVAL (due to impossible mode_t) instead of
-ENOENT (due to inexistent directory), IMO that makes a lot
more sense, POSIX allows to return either and any software
that relies on getting -ENOENT instead of -EINVAL in that
case deserves everything it gets.

all we need it for is file->private_data, which is assign-once, already
assigned by that point and, incidentally, its value is already in use
by zoran ->mmap() anyway. So just store that pointer instead...

really convoluted test in there has grown up during struct mount
introduction; what it checks is that we'd reached the root of
mount tree.
