* selinux: provide a "no sooner than" date for the checkreqprot removalPaul Moore2020-09-291-1/+1
| | | | | | | | | | We marked /sys/fs/selinux/checkreqprot as deprecated in Linux v5.7, but didn't provide any guidance as to the timeframe. Considering the state of checkreqprot, it seems like one year should be enough time. Acked-by: Stephen Smalley <stephen.smalley.work@gmail.com> Signed-off-by: Paul Moore <paul@paul-moore.com>

* | platform/x86: intel_pmc_ipc: Convert to MFDMika Westerberg2020-04-241-0/+22
|/ | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | This driver only creates a bunch of platform devices sharing resources belonging to the PMC device. This is pretty much what MFD subsystem is for so move the driver there, renaming it to intel_pmc_bxt.c which should be more clear what it is. MFD subsystem provides nice helper APIs for subdevice creation so convert the driver to use those. Unfortunately the ACPI device includes separate resources for most of the subdevices so we cannot simply call mfd_add_devices() to create all of them but instead we need to call it separately for each device. The new MFD driver continues to expose two sysfs attributes that allow userspace to send IPC commands to the PMC/SCU to avoid breaking any existing applications that may use these. Generally this is bad idea so document this in the ABI documentation.

* | Documentation,selinux: deprecate setting checkreqprot to 1Stephen Smalley2020-02-101-0/+23
|/ | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Deprecate setting the SELinux checkreqprot tunable to 1 via kernel parameter or /sys/fs/selinux/checkreqprot. Setting it to 0 is left intact for compatibility since Android and some Linux distributions do so for security and treat an inability to set it as a fatal error. Eventually setting it to 0 will become a no-op and the kernel will stop using checkreqprot's value internally altogether. checkreqprot was originally introduced as a compatibility mechanism for legacy userspace and the READ_IMPLIES_EXEC personality flag. However, if set to 1, it weakens security by allowing mappings to be made executable without authorization by policy. The default value for the SECURITY_SELINUX_CHECKREQPROT_VALUE config option was changed from 1 to 0 in commit 2a35d196c160e3 ("selinux: change CONFIG_SECURITY_SELINUX_CHECKREQPROT_VALUE default") and both Android and Linux distributions began explicitly setting /sys/fs/selinux/checkreqprot to 0 some time ago.

* selinux: deprecate disabling SELinux and runtimePaul Moore2020-01-071-0/+26
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Deprecate the CONFIG_SECURITY_SELINUX_DISABLE functionality. The code was originally developed to make it easier for Linux distributions to support architectures where adding parameters to the kernel command line was difficult. Unfortunately, supporting runtime disable meant we had to make some security trade-offs when it came to the LSM hooks, as documented in the Kconfig help text: NOTE: selecting this option will disable the '__ro_after_init' kernel hardening feature for security hooks. Please consider using the selinux=0 boot parameter instead of enabling this option. Fortunately it looks as if that the original motivation for the runtime disable functionality is gone, and Fedora/RHEL appears to be the only major distribution enabling this capability at build time so we are now taking steps to remove it entirely from the kernel. The first step is to mark the functionality as deprecated and print an error when it is used (what this patch is doing). As Fedora/RHEL makes progress in transitioning the distribution away from runtime disable, we will introduce follow-up patches over several kernel releases which will block for increasing periods of time when the runtime disable is used. Finally we will remove the option entirely once we believe all users have moved to the kernel cmdline approach.

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. New drivers: - Maxim MAX3191x industrial serializer, a very interesting piece of professional I/O hardware. - Uniphier GPIO driver. This is the GPIO block from the recent Socionext (ex Fujitsu and Panasonic) platform. - Tegra 186 driver. This is based on the new banked GPIO infrastructure. Other improvements: - Some documentation improvements. - Wakeup support for the DesignWare DWAPB GPIO controller. - Reset line support on the DesignWare DWAPB GPIO controller. - Several non-critical bug fixes and improvements for the Broadcom BRCMSTB driver. - Misc non-critical bug fixes like exotic errorpaths, removal of dead code etc. - Explicit comments on fall-through switch() statements" * tag 'gpio-v4.15-1' of ssh://gitolite.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/linusw/linux-gpio: (65 commits) gpio: tegra186: Remove tegra186_gpio_lock_class gpio: rcar: Add r8a77995 (R-Car D3) support pinctrl: bcm2835: Fix some merge fallout gpio: Fix undefined lock_dep_class gpio: Automatically add lockdep keys gpio: Introduce struct gpio_irq_chip.first gpio: Disambiguate struct gpio_irq_chip.nested gpio: Add Tegra186 support gpio: Export gpiochip_irq_{map,unmap}() gpio: Implement tighter IRQ chip integration gpio: Move lock_key into struct gpio_irq_chip gpio: Move irq_valid_mask into struct gpio_irq_chip gpio: Move irq_nested into struct gpio_irq_chip gpio: Move irq_chained_parent to struct gpio_irq_chip gpio: Move irq_default_type to struct gpio_irq_chip gpio: Move irq_handler to struct gpio_irq_chip gpio: Move irqdomain into struct gpio_irq_chip gpio: Move irqchip into struct gpio_irq_chip gpio: Introduce struct gpio_irq_chip pinctrl: armada-37xx: remove unused variable ...

* ACPI / scan: Drop support for force_removeMichal Hocko2017-04-131-0/+8
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | /sys/firmware/acpi/hotplug/force_remove was presumably added to support auto offlining in the past. This is, however, inherently dangerous for some hotplugable resources like memory. The memory offlining fails when the memory is still in use and cannot be dropped or migrated. If we ignore the failure we are basically allowing for subtle memory corruption or a crash. We have actually noticed the later while hitting BUG() during the memory hotremove (remove_memory): ret = walk_memory_range(PFN_DOWN(start), PFN_UP(start + size - 1), NULL, check_memblock_offlined_cb); if (ret) BUG(); it took us quite non-trivial time realize that the customer had force_remove enabled. Even if the BUG was removed here and we could propagate the error up the call chain it wouldn't help at all because then we would hit a crash or a memory corruption later and harder to debug. So force_remove is unfixable for the memory hotremove. We haven't checked other hotplugable resources to be prone to a similar problems. Remove the force_remove functionality because it is not fixable currently. Keep the sysfs file and report an error if somebody tries to enable it. Encourage users to report about the missing functionality and work with them with an alternative solution.

Basically, for a tunneled packet the checksum of the outer header is 'constant' (because with the checksum field filled into the inner protocol header, the payload of the outer frame checksums to 'zero'), and we can take advantage of that in various ways.

* ieee1394: remove the old IEEE 1394 driver stackStefan Richter2010-10-111-9/+0
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | The drivers - ohci1394 (controller driver) - ieee1394 (core) - dv1394, raw1394, video1394 (userspace ABI) - eth1394, sbp2 (protocol drivers) are replaced by - firewire-ohci (controller driver) - firewire-core (core and userspace ABI) - firewire-net, firewire-sbp2 (protocol drivers) which are more featureful, better performing, and more secure than the older drivers; all with a smaller and more modern code base. The driver firedtv in drivers/media/dvb/firewire/ contains backends to both ieee1394 and firewire-core. Its ieee1394 backend code can be removed in an independent commit; firedtv as-is builds and works fine without ieee1394. The driver pcilynx (an incomplete controller driver) is deleted without replacement since PCILynx cards are extremely rare. Owners of these cards use them with the stand-alone bus sniffer driver nosy instead. The drivers nosy and init_ohci1394_dma which do not interact with either of the two IEEE 1394 stacks are not affected by the ieee1394 subsystem removal. There are still some issues with the newer firewire subsystem compared to the older one: - The rare and quirky controllers ALi M52xx, Apple UniNorth v1, NVIDIA NForce2 are even less well supported by firewire-ohci than by ohci1394. I am looking into the M52xx issue. - The experimental firewire-net is reportedly less stable than its experimental cousin eth1394. - Audio playback of a certain group of audio devices (ones based on DICE chipset with EAP; supported by prerelease FFADO code) does not work yet. This issue is still under investigation. - There were some ieee1394 based out-of-the-mainline drivers. Of them, only lisight, an audio driver for iSight webcams, seems still useful. Work is underway to reimplement it on top of firewire-core. All these remainig issues are minor; they should not stand in the way of overall better user experience of IEEE 1394 on Linux, together with a reduction in support efforts and maintenance burden. The coexistence of two IEEE 1394 kernel driver stacks in the mainline since 2.6.22 shall end now, as announced earlier this year. Signed-off-by: Stefan Richter <stefanr@s5r6.in-berlin.de>
