* pidfd: add pidfsChristian Brauner2024-03-011-1/+1
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | This moves pidfds from the anonymous inode infrastructure to a tiny pseudo filesystem. This has been on my todo for quite a while as it will unblock further work that we weren't able to do simply because of the very justified limitations of anonymous inodes. Moving pidfds to a tiny pseudo filesystem allows: * statx() on pidfds becomes useful for the first time. * pidfds can be compared simply via statx() and then comparing inode numbers. * pidfds have unique inode numbers for the system lifetime. * struct pid is now stashed in inode->i_private instead of file->private_data. This means it is now possible to introduce concepts that operate on a process once all file descriptors have been closed. A concrete example is kill-on-last-close. * file->private_data is freed up for per-file options for pidfds. * Each struct pid will refer to a different inode but the same struct pid will refer to the same inode if it's opened multiple times. In contrast to now where each struct pid refers to the same inode. Even if we were to move to anon_inode_create_getfile() which creates new inodes we'd still be associating the same struct pid with multiple different inodes. The tiny pseudo filesystem is not visible anywhere in userspace exactly like e.g., pipefs and sockfs. There's no lookup, there's no complex inode operations, nothing. Dentries and inodes are always deleted when the last pidfd is closed. We allocate a new inode for each struct pid and we reuse that inode for all pidfds. We use iget_locked() to find that inode again based on the inode number which isn't recycled. We allocate a new dentry for each pidfd that uses the same inode. That is similar to anonymous inodes which reuse the same inode for thousands of dentries. For pidfds we're talking way less than that. There usually won't be a lot of concurrent openers of the same struct pid. They can probably often be counted on two hands. I know that systemd does use separate pidfd for the same struct pid for various complex process tracking issues. So I think with that things actually become way simpler. Especially because we don't have to care about lookup. Dentries and inodes continue to be always deleted. The code is entirely optional and fairly small. If it's not selected we fallback to anonymous inodes. Heavily inspired by nsfs which uses a similar stashing mechanism just for namespaces.

* nsproxy: Convert nsproxy.count to refcount_tElena Reshetova2023-08-211-2/+2
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | atomic_t variables are currently used to implement reference counters with the following properties: - counter is initialized to 1 using atomic_set() - a resource is freed upon counter reaching zero - once counter reaches zero, its further increments aren't allowed - counter schema uses basic atomic operations (set, inc, inc_not_zero, dec_and_test, etc.) Such atomic variables should be converted to a newly provided refcount_t type and API that prevents accidental counter overflows and underflows. This is important since overflows and underflows can lead to use-after-free situation and be exploitable. The variable nsproxy.count is used as pure reference counter. Convert it to refcount_t and fix up the operations. **Important note for maintainers: Some functions from refcount_t API defined in refcount.h have different memory ordering guarantees than their atomic counterparts. Please check Documentation/core-api/refcount-vs-atomic.rst for more information. Normally the differences should not matter since refcount_t provides enough guarantees to satisfy the refcounting use cases, but in some rare cases it might matter. Please double check that you don't have some undocumented memory guarantees for this variable usage. For the nsproxy.count it might make a difference in following places: - put_nsproxy() and switch_task_namespaces(): decrement in refcount_dec_and_test() only provides RELEASE ordering and ACQUIRE ordering on success vs. fully ordered atomic counterpart Suggested-by: Kees Cook <keescook@chromium.org> Signed-off-by: Elena Reshetova <elena.reshetova@intel.com> Reviewed-by: David Windsor <dwindsor@gmail.com> Reviewed-by: Hans Liljestrand <ishkamiel@gmail.com> Reviewed-by: Christian Brauner <brauner@kernel.org> Link: https://lore.kernel.org/r/20230818041327.gonna.210-kees@kernel.org Signed-off-by: Kees Cook <keescook@chromium.org>

* fs/exec: switch timens when a task gets a new mmAndrei Vagin2022-10-251-2/+21
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Changing a time namespace requires remapping a vvar page, so we don't want to allow doing that if any other tasks can use the same mm. Currently, we install a time namespace when a task is created with a new vm. exec() is another case when a task gets a new mm and so it can switch a time namespace safely, but it isn't handled now. One more issue of the current interface is that clone() with CLONE_VM isn't allowed if the current task has unshared a time namespace (timens_for_children doesn't match the current timens). Both these issues make some inconvenience for users. For example, Alexey and Florian reported that posix_spawn() uses vfork+exec and this pattern doesn't work with time namespaces due to the both described issues. LXC needed to workaround the exec() issue by calling setns. In the commit 133e2d3e81de5 ("fs/exec: allow to unshare a time namespace on vfork+exec"), we tried to fix these issues with minimal impact on UAPI. But it adds extra complexity and some undesirable side effects. Eric suggested fixing the issues properly because here are all the reasons to suppose that there are no users that depend on the old behavior.

* Revert "fs/exec: allow to unshare a time namespace on vfork+exec"Andrei Vagin2022-09-131-2/+1
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | This reverts commit 133e2d3e81de5d9706cab2dd1d52d231c27382e5. Alexey pointed out a few undesirable side effects of the reverted change. First, it doesn't take into account that CLONE_VFORK can be used with CLONE_THREAD. Second, a child process doesn't enter a target time name-space, if its parent dies before the child calls exec. It happens because the parent clears vfork_done. Eric W. Biederman suggests installing a time namespace as a task gets a new mm. It includes all new processes cloned without CLONE_VM and all tasks that call exec(). This is an user API change, but we think there aren't users that depend on the old behavior. It is too late to make such changes in this release, so let's roll back this patch and introduce the right one in the next release.

* fs/exec: allow to unshare a time namespace on vfork+execAndrei Vagin2022-06-151-1/+2
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Right now, a new process can't be forked in another time namespace if it shares mm with its parent. It is prohibited, because each time namespace has its own vvar page that is mapped into a process address space. When a process calls exec, it gets a new mm and so it could be "legal" to switch time namespace in that case. This was not implemented and now if we want to do this, we need to add another clone flag to not break backward compatibility. We don't have any user requests to switch times on exec except the vfork+exec combination, so there is no reason to add a new clone flag. As for vfork+exec, this should be safe to allow switching timens with the current clone flag. Right now, vfork (CLONE_VFORK | CLONE_VM) fails if a child is forked into another time namespace. With this change, vfork creates a new process in parent's timens, and the following exec does the actual switch to the target time namespace.

* nsproxy: attach to namespaces via pidfdsChristian Brauner2020-05-131-16/+213
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | For quite a while we have been thinking about using pidfds to attach to namespaces. This patchset has existed for about a year already but we've wanted to wait to see how the general api would be received and adopted. Now that more and more programs in userspace have started using pidfds for process management it's time to send this one out. This patch makes it possible to use pidfds to attach to the namespaces of another process, i.e. they can be passed as the first argument to the setns() syscall. When only a single namespace type is specified the semantics are equivalent to passing an nsfd. That means setns(nsfd, CLONE_NEWNET) equals setns(pidfd, CLONE_NEWNET). However, when a pidfd is passed, multiple namespace flags can be specified in the second setns() argument and setns() will attach the caller to all the specified namespaces all at once or to none of them. Specifying 0 is not valid together with a pidfd. Here are just two obvious examples: setns(pidfd, CLONE_NEWPID | CLONE_NEWNS | CLONE_NEWNET); setns(pidfd, CLONE_NEWUSER); Allowing to also attach subsets of namespaces supports various use-cases where callers setns to a subset of namespaces to retain privilege, perform an action and then re-attach another subset of namespaces. If the need arises, as Eric suggested, we can extend this patchset to assume even more context than just attaching all namespaces. His suggestion specifically was about assuming the process' root directory when setns(pidfd, 0) or setns(pidfd, SETNS_PIDFD) is specified. For now, just keep it flexible in terms of supporting subsets of namespaces but let's wait until we have users asking for even more context to be assumed. At that point we can add an extension. The obvious example where this is useful is a standard container manager interacting with a running container: pushing and pulling files or directories, injecting mounts, attaching/execing any kind of process, managing network devices all these operations require attaching to all or at least multiple namespaces at the same time. Given that nowadays most containers are spawned with all namespaces enabled we're currently looking at at least 14 syscalls, 7 to open the /proc/<pid>/ns/<ns> nsfds, another 7 to actually perform the namespace switch. With time namespaces we're looking at about 16 syscalls. (We could amortize the first 7 or 8 syscalls for opening the nsfds by stashing them in each container's monitor process but that would mean we need to send around those file descriptors through unix sockets everytime we want to interact with the container or keep on-disk state. Even in scenarios where a caller wants to join a particular namespace in a particular order callers still profit from batching other namespaces. That mostly applies to the user namespace but all container runtimes I found join the user namespace first no matter if it privileges or deprivileges the container similar to how unshare behaves.) With pidfds this becomes a single syscall no matter how many namespaces are supposed to be attached to. A decently designed, large-scale container manager usually isn't the parent of any of the containers it spawns so the containers don't die when it crashes or needs to update or reinitialize. This means that for the manager to interact with containers through pids is inherently racy especially on systems where the maximum pid number is not significicantly bumped. This is even more problematic since we often spawn and manage thousands or ten-thousands of containers. Interacting with a container through a pid thus can become risky quite quickly. Especially since we allow for an administrator to enable advanced features such as syscall interception where we're performing syscalls in lieu of the container. In all of those cases we use pidfds if they are available and we pass them around as stable references. Using them to setns() to the target process' namespaces is as reliable as using nsfds. Either the target process is already dead and we get ESRCH or we manage to attach to its namespaces but we can't accidently attach to another process' namespaces. So pidfds lend themselves to be used with this api. The other main advantage is that with this change the pidfd becomes the only relevant token for most container interactions and it's the only token we need to create and send around. Apart from significiantly reducing the number of syscalls from double digit to single digit which is a decent reason post-spectre/meltdown this also allows to switch to a set of namespaces atomically, i.e. either attaching to all the specified namespaces succeeds or we fail. If we fail we haven't changed a single namespace. There are currently three namespaces that can fail (other than for ENOMEM which really is not very interesting since we then have other problems anyway) for non-trivial reasons, user, mount, and pid namespaces. We can fail to attach to a pid namespace if it is not our current active pid namespace or a descendant of it. We can fail to attach to a user namespace because we are multi-threaded or because our current mount namespace shares filesystem state with other tasks, or because we're trying to setns() to the same user namespace, i.e. the target task has the same user namespace as we do. We can fail to attach to a mount namespace because it shares filesystem state with other tasks or because we fail to lookup the new root for the new mount namespace. In most non-pathological scenarios these issues can be somewhat mitigated. But there are cases where we're half-attached to some namespace and failing to attach to another one. I've talked about some of these problem during the hallway track (something only the pre-COVID-19 generation will remember) of Plumbers in Los Angeles in 2018(?). Even if all these issues could be avoided with super careful userspace coding it would be nicer to have this done in-kernel. Pidfds seem to lend themselves nicely for this. The other neat thing about this is that setns() becomes an actual counterpart to the namespace bits of unshare().

* nsproxy: add struct nssetChristian Brauner2020-05-091-13/+77
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Add a simple struct nsset. It holds all necessary pieces to switch to a new set of namespaces without leaving a task in a half-switched state which we will make use of in the next patch. This patch switches the existing setns logic over without causing a change in setns() behavior. This brings setns() closer to how unshare() works(). The prepare_ns() function is responsible to prepare all necessary information. This has two reasons. First it minimizes dependencies between individual namespaces, i.e. all install handler can expect that all fields are properly initialized independent in what order they are called in. Second, this makes the code easier to maintain and easier to follow if it needs to be changed. The prepare_ns() helper will only be switched over to use a flags argument in the next patch. Here it will still use nstype as a simple integer argument which was argued would be clearer. I'm not particularly opinionated about this if it really helps or not. The struct nsset itself already contains the flags field since its name already indicates that it can contain information required by different namespaces. None of this should have functional consequences. Signed-off-by: Christian Brauner <christian.brauner@ubuntu.com> Reviewed-by: Serge Hallyn <serge@hallyn.com> Cc: Eric W.

* ns: Introduce Time NamespaceAndrei Vagin2020-01-141-7/+34
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Time Namespace isolates clock values. The kernel provides access to several clocks CLOCK_REALTIME, CLOCK_MONOTONIC, CLOCK_BOOTTIME, etc. CLOCK_REALTIME System-wide clock that measures real (i.e., wall-clock) time. CLOCK_MONOTONIC Clock that cannot be set and represents monotonic time since some unspecified starting point. CLOCK_BOOTTIME Identical to CLOCK_MONOTONIC, except it also includes any time that the system is suspended. For many users, the time namespace means the ability to changes date and time in a container (CLOCK_REALTIME). Providing per namespace notions of CLOCK_REALTIME would be complex with a massive overhead, but has a dubious value. But in the context of checkpoint/restore functionality, monotonic and boottime clocks become interesting. Both clocks are monotonic with unspecified starting points. These clocks are widely used to measure time slices and set timers. After restoring or migrating processes, it has to be guaranteed that they never go backward. In an ideal case, the behavior of these clocks should be the same as for a case when a whole system is suspended. All this means that it is required to set CLOCK_MONOTONIC and CLOCK_BOOTTIME clocks, which can be achieved by adding per-namespace offsets for clocks. A time namespace is similar to a pid namespace in the way how it is created: unshare(CLONE_NEWTIME) system call creates a new time namespace, but doesn't set it to the current process. Then all children of the process will be born in the new time namespace, or a process can use the setns() system call to join a namespace. This scheme allows setting clock offsets for a namespace, before any processes appear in it. All available clone flags have been used, so CLONE_NEWTIME uses the highest bit of CSIGNAL. It means that it can be used only with the unshare() and the clone3() system calls.

Each namespace has a combination of device and inode numbers. Though every namespace has the same device number currently, that may change in future to avoid the need for a namespace of namespaces. Considering such possibility, record both device and inode numbers separately for each namespace.

* cgroup: introduce cgroup namespacesAditya Kali2016-02-161-2/+17
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Introduce the ability to create new cgroup namespace. The newly created cgroup namespace remembers the cgroup of the process at the point of creation of the cgroup namespace (referred as cgroupns-root). The main purpose of cgroup namespace is to virtualize the contents of /proc/self/cgroup file. Processes inside a cgroup namespace are only able to see paths relative to their namespace root (unless they are moved outside of their cgroupns-root, at which point they will see a relative path from their cgroupns-root). For a correctly setup container this enables container-tools (like libcontainer, lxc, lmctfy, etc.) to create completely virtualized containers without leaking system level cgroup hierarchy to the task. This patch only implements the 'unshare' part of the cgroupns.

* namespaces: Use task_lock and not rcu to protect nsproxyEric W. Biederman2014-07-291-11/+4
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | The synchronous syncrhonize_rcu in switch_task_namespaces makes setns a sufficiently expensive system call that people have complained. Upon inspect nsproxy no longer needs rcu protection for remote reads. remote reads are rare. So optimize for same process reads and write by switching using rask_lock instead. This yields a simpler to understand lock, and a faster setns system call. In particular this fixes a performance regression observed by Rafael David Tinoco <rafael.tinoco@canonical.com>. This is effectively a revert of Pavel Emelyanov's commit cf7b708c8d1d7a27736771bcf4c457b332b0f818 Make access to task's nsproxy lighter from 2007. The race this originialy fixed no longer exists as do_notify_parent uses task_active_pid_ns(parent) instead of parent->nsproxy. Signed-off-by: "Eric W. Biederman" <ebiederm@xmission.com>

* pidns: Support unsharing the pid namespace.Eric W. Biederman2012-11-191-1/+1
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Unsharing of the pid namespace unlike unsharing of other namespaces does not take affect immediately. Instead it affects the children created with fork and clone. The first of these children becomes the init process of the new pid namespace, the rest become oddball children of pid 0. From the point of view of the new pid namespace the process that created it is pid 0, as it's pid does not map. A couple of different semantics were considered but this one was settled on because it is easy to implement and it is usable from pam modules. The core reasons for the existence of unshare. I took a survey of the callers of pam modules and the following appears to be a representative sample of their logic. { setup stuff include pam child = fork(); if (!child) { setuid() exec /bin/bash } waitpid(child); pam and other cleanup } As you can see there is a fork to create the unprivileged user space process. Which means that the unprivileged user space process will appear as pid 1 in the new pid namespace. Further most login processes do not cope with extraneous children which means shifting the duty of reaping extraneous child process to the creator of those extraneous children makes the system more comprehensible. The practical reason for this set of pid namespace semantics is that it is simple to implement and verify they work correctly. Whereas an implementation that requres changing the struct pid on a process comes with a lot more races and pain. Not the least of which is that glibc caches getpid(). These semantics are implemented by having two notions of the pid namespace of a proces. There is task_active_pid_ns which is the pid namspace the process was created with and the pid namespace that all pids are presented to that process in. The task_active_pid_ns is stored in the struct pid of the task. Then there is the pid namespace that will be used for children that pid namespace is stored in task->nsproxy->pid_ns.

* pidns: Use task_active_pid_ns where appropriateEric W. Biederman2012-11-191-1/+1
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | The expressions tsk->nsproxy->pid_ns and task_active_pid_ns aka ns_of_pid(task_pid(tsk)) should have the same number of cache line misses with the practical difference that ns_of_pid(task_pid(tsk)) is released later in a processes life. Furthermore by using task_active_pid_ns it becomes trivial to write an unshare implementation for the the pid namespace. So I have used task_active_pid_ns everywhere I can. In fork since the pid has not yet been attached to the process I use ns_of_pid, to achieve the same effect. Signed-off-by: Eric W. Biederman <ebiederm@xmission.com>

The userspace has to manually create a cgroup and add a task to the 'tasks' file. This patch removes the ns_cgroup as suggested in the following thread: https://lists.linux-foundation.org/pipermail/containers/2009-June/018616.html The 'cgroup_clone' function is removed because it is no longer used. This is a userspace-visible change.

* ns: Introduce the setns syscallEric W. Biederman2011-05-101-0/+42
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | With the networking stack today there is demand to handle multiple network stacks at a time. Not in the context of containers but in the context of people doing interesting things with routing. There is also demand in the context of containers to have an efficient way to execute some code in the container itself. If nothing else it is very useful ad a debugging technique. Both problems can be solved by starting some form of login daemon in the namespaces people want access to, or you can play games by ptracing a process and getting the traced process to do things you want it to do. However it turns out that a login daemon or a ptrace puppet controller are more code, they are more prone to failure, and generally they are less efficient than simply changing the namespace of a process to a specified one. Pieces of this puzzle can also be solved by instead of coming up with a general purpose system call coming up with targed system calls perhaps socketat that solve a subset of the larger problem. Overall that appears to be more work for less reward. int setns(int fd, int nstype); The fd argument is a file descriptor referring to a proc file of the namespace you want to switch the process to. In the setns system call the nstype is 0 or specifies an clone flag of the namespace you intend to change to prevent changing a namespace unintentionally. v2: Most of the architecture support added by Daniel Lezcano <dlezcano@fr.ibm.com> v3: ported to v2.6.36-rc4 by: Eric W.

Goals: - Make it safe for an unprivileged user to unshare namespaces. They will be privileged with respect to the new namespace, but this should only include resources which the unprivileged user already owns. - Provide separate limits and accounting for userids in different namespaces. Status: Currently (as of 2.6.38) you can clone with the CLONE_NEWUSER flag to get a new user namespace if you have the CAP_SYS_ADMIN, CAP_SETUID, and CAP_SETGID capabilities. What this gets you is a whole new set of userids, meaning that user 500 will have a different 'struct user' in your namespace than in other namespaces. So any accounting information stored in struct user will be unique to your namespace. However, throughout the kernel there are checks which - simply check for a capability. Since root in a child namespace has all capabilities, this means that a child namespace is not constrained. - simply compare uid1 == uid2. Since these are the integer uids, uid 500 in namespace 1 will be said to be equal to uid 500 in namespace 2. As a result, the lxc implementation at lxc.sf.net does not use user namespaces. This is actually helpful because it leaves us free to develop user namespaces in such a way that, for some time, user namespaces may be unuseful. Bugs aside, this patchset is supposed to not at all affect systems which are not actively using user namespaces, and only restrict what tasks in child user namespace can do. They begin to limit privilege to a user namespace, so that root in a container cannot kill or ptrace tasks in the parent user namespace, and can only get world access rights to files. Since all files currently belong to the initila user namespace, that means that child user namespaces can only get world access rights to *all* files. While this temporarily makes user namespaces bad for system containers, it starts to get useful for some sandboxing. I've run the 'runltplite.sh' with and without this patchset and found no difference. This patch: copy_process() handles CLONE_NEWUSER before the rest of the namespaces. So in the case of clone(CLONE_NEWUSER|CLONE_NEWUTS) the new uts namespace will have the new user namespace as its owner. That is what we want, since we want root in that new userns to be able to have privilege over it. Changelog: Feb 15: don't set uts_ns->user_ns if we didn't create a new uts_ns.

| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | implicit slab.h inclusion from percpu.h percpu.h is included by sched.h and module.h and thus ends up being included when building most .c files. percpu.h includes slab.h which in turn includes gfp.h making everything defined by the two files universally available and complicating inclusion dependencies. percpu.h -> slab.h dependency is about to be removed. Prepare for this change by updating users of gfp and slab facilities include those headers directly instead of assuming availability. As this conversion needs to touch large number of source files, the following script is used as the basis of conversion. http://userweb.kernel.org/~tj/misc/slabh-sweep.py The script does the followings. * Scan files for gfp and slab usages and update includes such that only the necessary includes are there. ie. if only gfp is used, gfp.h, if slab is used, slab.h. * When the script inserts a new include, it looks at the include blocks and try to put the new include such that its order conforms to its surrounding. It's put in the include block which contains core kernel includes, in the same order that the rest are ordered - alphabetical, Christmas tree, rev-Xmas-tree or at the end if there doesn't seem to be any matching order. * If the script can't find a place to put a new include (mostly because the file doesn't have fitting include block), it prints out an error message indicating which .h file needs to be added to the file. The conversion was done in the following steps. 1. The initial automatic conversion of all .c files updated slightly over 4000 files, deleting around 700 includes and adding ~480 gfp.h and ~3000 slab.h inclusions. The script emitted errors for ~400 files. 2. Each error was manually checked. Some didn't need the inclusion, some needed manual addition while adding it to implementation .h or embedding .c file was more appropriate for others. This step added inclusions to around 150 files. 3. The script was run again and the output was compared to the edits from #2 to make sure no file was left behind. 4. Several build tests were done and a couple of problems were fixed. e.g. lib/decompress_*.c used malloc/free() wrappers around slab APIs requiring slab.h to be added manually. 5. The script was run on all .h files but without automatically editing them as sprinkling gfp.h and slab.h inclusions around .h files could easily lead to inclusion dependency hell. Most gfp.h inclusion directives were ignored as stuff from gfp.h was usually wildly available and often used in preprocessor macros. Each slab.h inclusion directive was examined and added manually as necessary. 6. percpu.h was updated not to include slab.h. 7. Build test were done on the following configurations and failures were fixed. CONFIG_GCOV_KERNEL was turned off for all tests (as my distributed build env didn't work with gcov compiles) and a few more options had to be turned off depending on archs to make things build (like ipr on powerpc/64 which failed due to missing writeq). * x86 and x86_64 UP and SMP allmodconfig and a custom test config. * powerpc and powerpc64 SMP allmodconfig * sparc and sparc64 SMP allmodconfig * ia64 SMP allmodconfig * s390 SMP allmodconfig * alpha SMP allmodconfig * um on x86_64 SMP allmodconfig 8. percpu.h modifications were reverted so that it could be applied as a separate patch and serve as bisection point. Given the fact that I had only a couple of failures from tests on step 6, I'm fairly confident about the coverage of this conversion patch. If there is a breakage, it's likely to be something in one of the arch headers which should be easily discoverable easily on most builds of the specific arch.

* nsproxy: remove INIT_NSPROXY()Alexey Dobriyan2010-03-121-1/+12
| | | | | | | | | | | | | Remove INIT_NSPROXY(), use C99 initializer. Remove INIT_IPC_NS(), INIT_NET_NS() while I'm at it. Note: headers trim will be done later, now it's quite pointless because results will be invalidated by merge window.

* nsproxy: extract create_nsproxy()Alexey Dobriyan2009-06-181-12/+7
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | clone_nsproxy() does useless copying of old nsproxy -- every pointer will be rewritten to new ns or to old ns. Remove copying, rename clone_nsproxy(), create_nsproxy() will be used by C/R code to create fresh nsproxy on restart.

* User namespaces: set of cleanups (v2)Serge Hallyn2008-11-241-13/+2
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | The user_ns is moved from nsproxy to user_struct, so that a struct cred by itself is sufficient to determine access (which it otherwise would not be). Corresponding ecryptfs fixes (by David Howells) are here as well. Fix refcounting. The following rules now apply: 1. The task pins the user struct. 2. The user struct pins its user namespace. 3. The user namespace pins the struct user which created it. User namespaces are cloned during copy_creds(). Unsharing a new user_ns is no longer possible. (We could re-add that, but it'll cause code duplication and doesn't seem useful if PAM doesn't need to clone user namespaces). When a user namespace is created, its first user (uid 0) gets empty keyrings and a clean group_info. This incorporates a previous patch by David Howells. Here is his original patch description: >I suggest adding the attached incremental patch. It makes the following >changes: > > (1) Provides a current_user_ns() macro to wrap accesses to current's user > namespace. > > (2) Fixes eCryptFS. > > (3) Renames create_new_userns() to create_user_ns() to be more consistent > with the other associated functions and because the 'new' in the name is > superfluous. > > (4) Moves the argument and permission checks made for CLONE_NEWUSER to the > beginning of do_fork() so that they're done prior to making any attempts > at allocation. > > (5) Calls create_user_ns() after prepare_creds(), and gives it the new creds > to fill in rather than have it return the new root user.
