* Docs/Kconfig: Update: osdl.org -> linuxfoundation.orgMichael Witten2010-11-1512-21/+30
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Some of the documentation refers to web pages under the domain `osdl.org'. However, `osdl.org' now redirects to `linuxfoundation.org'. Rather than rely on redirections, this patch updates the addresses appropriately; for the most part, only documentation that is meant to be current has been updated. The patch should be pretty quick to scan and check; each new web-page url was gotten by trying out the original URL in a browser and then simply copying the the redirected URL (formatting as necessary). There is some conflict as to which one of these domain names is preferred: linuxfoundation.org linux-foundation.org So, I wrote: info@linuxfoundation.org and got this reply: Message-ID: <4CE17EE6.9040807@linuxfoundation.org> Date: Mon, 15 Nov 2010 10:41:42 -0800 From: David Ames <david@linuxfoundation.org> ... linuxfoundation.org is preferred. The canonical name for our web site is www.linuxfoundation.org. Our list site is actually lists.linux-foundation.org. Regarding email linuxfoundation.org is preferred there are a few people who choose to use linux-foundation.org for their own reasons. Consequently, I used `linuxfoundation.org' for web pages and `lists.linux-foundation.org' for mailing-list web pages and email addresses; the only personal email address I updated from `@osdl.org' was that of Andrew Morton, who prefers `linux-foundation.org' according `git log'.

| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | If fanotify sets a new bit in the ignored mask it will cause the generic fsnotify layer to recalculate the real mask. This is stupid since we didn't change that part. Signed-off-by: Eric Paris <eparis@redhat.com>
| | * fanotify: ignore events on directories unless specifically requestedEric Paris2010-10-283-2/+25
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | fanotify has a very limited number of events it sends on directories. The usefulness of these events is yet to be seen and still we send them. This is particularly painful for mount marks where one might receive many of these useless events. As such this patch will drop events on IS_DIR() inodes unless they were explictly requested with FAN_ON_DIR. This means that a mark on a directory without FAN_EVENT_ON_CHILD or FAN_ON_DIR is meaningless and will result in no events ever (although it will still be allowed since detecting it is hard) Signed-off-by: Eric Paris <eparis@redhat.com>

| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | The _IN_ in the naming is reserved for flags only used by inotify. Since I am about to use this flag for fanotify rename it to be generic like the rest. Signed-off-by: Eric Paris <eparis@redhat.com>
| | * fanotify: do not send events for irregular filesEric Paris2010-10-281-5/+6
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | fanotify_should_send_event has a test to see if an object is a file or directory and does not send an event otherwise. The problem is that the test is actually checking if the object with a mark is a file or directory, not if the object the event happened on is a file or directory. We should check the latter. Signed-off-by: Eric Paris <eparis@redhat.com>
| | * fanotify: limit number of listeners per userEric Paris2010-10-284-1/+25
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | fanotify currently has no limit on the number of listeners a given user can have open. This patch limits the total number of listeners per user to 128. This is the same as the inotify default limit. Signed-off-by: Eric Paris <eparis@redhat.com>
| | * fanotify: allow userspace to override max marksEric Paris2010-10-282-2/+11
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Some fanotify groups, especially those like AV scanners, will need to place lots of marks, particularly ignore marks. Since ignore marks do not pin inodes in cache and are cleared if the inode is removed from core (usually under memory pressure) we expose an interface for listeners, with CAP_SYS_ADMIN, to override the maximum number of marks and be allowed to set and 'unlimited' number of marks. Programs which make use of this feature will be able to OOM a machine. Signed-off-by: Eric Paris <eparis@redhat.com>
| | * fanotify: limit the number of marks in a single fanotify groupEric Paris2010-10-282-0/+10
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | There is currently no limit on the number of marks a given fanotify group can have. Since fanotify is gated on CAP_SYS_ADMIN this was not seen as a serious DoS threat. This patch implements a default of 8192, the same as inotify to work towards removing the CAP_SYS_ADMIN gating and eliminating the default DoS'able status. Signed-off-by: Eric Paris <eparis@redhat.com>
| | * fanotify: allow userspace to override max queue depthEric Paris2010-10-282-3/+11
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | fanotify has a defualt max queue depth. This patch allows processes which explicitly request it to have an 'unlimited' queue depth. These processes need to be very careful to make sure they cannot fall far enough behind that they OOM the box. Thus this flag is gated on CAP_SYS_ADMIN. Signed-off-by: Eric Paris <eparis@redhat.com>
| | * fsnotify: implement a default maximum queue depthEric Paris2010-10-282-1/+4
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Currently fanotify has no maximum queue depth. Since fanotify is CAP_SYS_ADMIN only this does not pose a normal user DoS issue, but it certianly is possible that an fanotify listener which can't keep up could OOM the box. This patch implements a default 16k depth. This is the same default depth used by inotify, but given fanotify's better queue merging in many situations this queue will contain many additional useful events by comparison. Signed-off-by: Eric Paris <eparis@redhat.com>
| | * fanotify: ignore fanotify ignore marks if open writersEric Paris2010-10-281-0/+10
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | fanotify will clear ignore marks if a task changes the contents of an inode. The problem is with the races around when userspace finishes checking a file and when that result is actually attached to the inode. This race was described as such: Consider the following scenario with hostile processes A and B, and victim process C: 1. Process A opens new file for writing. File check request is generated. 2. File check is performed in userspace. Check result is "file has no malware". 3. The "permit" response is delivered to kernel space. 4. File ignored mark set. 5. Process A writes dummy bytes to the file. File ignored flags are cleared. 6. Process B opens the same file for reading. File check request is generated. 7. File check is performed in userspace. Check result is "file has no malware". 8. Process A writes malware bytes to the file. There is no cached response yet. 9. The "permit" response is delivered to kernel space and is cached in fanotify. 10. File ignored mark set. 11. Now any process C will be permitted to open the malware file. There is a race between steps 8 and 10 While fanotify makes no strong guarantees about systems with hostile processes there is no reason we cannot harden against this race. We do that by simply ignoring any ignore marks if the inode has open writers (aka i_writecount > 0). (We actually do not ignore ignore marks if the FAN_MARK_SURV_MODIFY flag is set) Reported-by: Vasily Novikov <vasily.novikov@kaspersky.com> Signed-off-by: Eric Paris <eparis@redhat.com>
| | * fanotify: allow userspace to flush all marksEric Paris2010-10-281-1/+2
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | fanotify is supposed to be able to flush all marks. This is mostly useful for the AV community to flush all cached decisions on a security policy change. This functionality has existed in the kernel but wasn't correctly exposed to userspace.

| | * fsnotify: call fsnotify_parent in perm eventsEric Paris2010-10-283-11/+21
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | fsnotify perm events do not call fsnotify parent. That means you cannot register a perm event on a directory and enforce permissions on all inodes in that directory. This patch fixes that situation. Signed-off-by: Eric Paris <eparis@redhat.com>
| | * fsnotify: correctly handle return codes from listenersEric Paris2010-10-282-8/+14
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | When fsnotify groups return errors they are ignored. For permissions events these should be passed back up the stack, but for most events these should continue to be ignored. Signed-off-by: Eric Paris <eparis@redhat.com>
| | * fanotify: use __aligned_u64 in fanotify userspace metadataEric Paris2010-10-281-2/+2
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Currently the userspace struct exposed by fanotify uses __attribute__((packed)) to make sure that alignment works on multiarch platforms. Since this causes a severe performance penalty on some platforms we are going to switch to using explicit alignment notation on the 64bit values so we don't have to use 'packed' Signed-off-by: Eric Paris <eparis@redhat.com>
| | * fanotify: implement fanotify listener orderingEric Paris2010-10-282-2/+34
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | The fanotify listeners needs to be able to specify what types of operations they are going to perform so they can be ordered appropriately between other listeners doing other types of operations. They need this to be able to make sure that things like hierarchichal storage managers will get access to inodes before processes which need the data. This patch defines 3 possible uses which groups must indicate in the fanotify_init() flags. FAN_CLASS_PRE_CONTENT FAN_CLASS_CONTENT FAN_CLASS_NOTIF Groups will receive notification in that order. The order between 2 groups in the same class is undeterministic. FAN_CLASS_PRE_CONTENT is intended to be used by listeners which need access to the inode before they are certain that the inode contains it's final data. A hierarchical storage manager should choose to use this class. FAN_CLASS_CONTENT is intended to be used by listeners which need access to the inode after it contains its intended contents. This would be the appropriate level for an AV solution or document control system. FAN_CLASS_NOTIF is intended for normal async notification about access, much the same as inotify and dnotify. Syncronous permissions events are not permitted at this class. Signed-off-by: Eric Paris <eparis@redhat.com>
| | * fsnotify: implement ordering between notifiersEric Paris2010-10-283-3/+20
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | fanotify needs to be able to specify that some groups get events before others. They use this idea to make sure that a hierarchical storage manager gets access to files before programs which actually use them. This is purely infrastructure. Everything will have a priority of 0, but the infrastructure will exist for it to be non-zero. Signed-off-by: Eric Paris <eparis@redhat.com>

The nopl is defined in the asm goto () statement and when tracepoints are enabled, the nop changes to a jump to the label that was specified by the asm goto. asm goto is suppose to tell gcc that the code in the asm might jump to an external label. Here gcc obviously fails to make that work. The bug report for gcc is here: http://gcc.gnu.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=46226 The bug only appears on x86 when not compiled with -maccumulate-outgoing-args. This option is always set on x86_64 and it is also the work around for a function graph tracer i386 bug. (See commit: 746357d6a526d6da9d89a2ec645b28406e959c2e) This explains why the bug only showed up on i386 when function graph tracer was not enabled. This patch now adds a CONFIG_JUMP_LABEL option that is default off instead of using jump labels by default. When jump labels are enabled, the -maccumulate-outgoing-args will be used (causing a slightly larger kernel image on i386). This option will exist until we have a way to detect if the gcc compiler in use is safe to use on all configurations without the work around. Note, there exists such a test, but for now we will keep the enabling of jump label as a manual option. Archs that know the compiler is safe with asm goto, may choose to select JUMP_LABEL and enable it by default.

But this reordering moved the jump label mutex into a preempt disable location. This patch does a little fiddling to move the grabbing of the jump label mutex from inside the preempt disable section and still keep the order correct between the mutex and the kprobes lock.

However, the jump label code takes those mutexes in the reverse order. Fix by requiring the caller of jump_label_text_reserved() to do the jump label locking via the newly added: jump_label_lock(), jump_label_unlock(). Currently, kprobes is the only user of jump_label_text_reserved().

| | | * | | jump label: Fix module __init section raceJason Baron2010-10-281-1/+40

However, between the check for a valid module __init section and the subsequent jump label update, the module's __init section could be freed out from under us. We fix this potential race by adding a notifier callback to the MODULE_STATE_LIVE state. This notifier is called *after* the __init section has been run but before it is going to be freed. In the callback, the jump label code zeros the key value for any __init jump code within the module, and we add a check for a non-zero key value when we update jump labels. In this way we require no additional data structures. Thanks to Mathieu Desnoyers for pointing out this race condition.

The oprofile is initialised using system timer in absence of hardware counters supports. Oprofile isn't started from userland. In this setup while doing a CPU offline the kernel hangs in infinite for loop inside lock_hrtimer_base() function This happens because as part of oprofile_cpu_notify(, it tries to stop an hrtimer which was never started. These per-cpu hrtimers are started when the oprfile is started. echo 1 > /dev/oprofile/enable This problem also existwhen the cpu is booted with maxcpus parameter set. When bringing the remaining cpus online the timers are started even if oprofile is not yet enabled. This patch fix this issue by adding a state variable so that these hrtimer start/stop is only attempted when oprofile is started For stable kernels v2.6.35.y and v2.6.36.y.
