* selinux: remove 'flags' parameter from avc_audit()Linus Torvalds2013-10-043-4/+4

* selinux: avc_has_perm_flags has no more usersLinus Torvalds2013-10-042-17/+6
| | | | | | | | .. so get rid of it. The only indirect users were all the avc_has_perm() callers which just expanded to have a zero flags argument. Signed-off-by: Linus Torvalds <torvalds@linux-foundation.org>
* selinux: remove 'flags' parameter from inode_has_permLinus Torvalds2013-10-041-7/+6
| | | | | | | | | | | | | Every single user passes in '0'. I think we had non-zero users back in some stone age when selinux_inode_permission() was implemented in terms of inode_has_perm(), but that complicated case got split up into a totally separate code-path so that we could optimize the much simpler special cases. See commit 2e33405785d3 ("SELinux: delay initialization of audit data in selinux_inode_permission") for example. Signed-off-by: Linus Torvalds <torvalds@linux-foundation.org>

* apparmor: Use shash crypto API interface for profile hashesTyler Hicks2013-09-301-18/+16
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Use the shash interface, rather than the hash interface, when hashing AppArmor profiles. The shash interface does not use scatterlists and it is a better fit for what AppArmor needs. This fixes a kernel paging BUG when aa_calc_profile_hash() is passed a buffer from vmalloc(). The hash interface requires callers to handle vmalloc() buffers differently than what AppArmor was doing. Due to vmalloc() memory not being physically contiguous, each individual page behind the buffer must be assigned to a scatterlist with sg_set_page() and then the scatterlist passed to crypto_hash_update(). The shash interface does not have that limitation and allows vmalloc() and kmalloc() buffers to be handled in the same manner.

| | * | Smack: parse multiple rules per write to load2, up to PAGE_SIZE-1 bytesRafal Krypa2013-08-121-85/+82
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Smack interface for loading rules has always parsed only single rule from data written to it. This requires user program to call one write() per each rule it wants to load. This change makes it possible to write multiple rules, separated by new line character. Smack will load at most PAGE_SIZE-1 characters and properly return number of processed bytes. In case when user buffer is larger, it will be additionally truncated. All characters after last \n will not get parsed to avoid partial rule near input buffer boundary. Signed-off-by: Rafal Krypa <r.krypa@samsung.com>

This was done in a ill advised attempt to optimize performance. It works so long as the categories fit in a single capset, but this isn't always the case. This patch changes the Smack code to use the appropriate NetLabel interfaces to compare the incoming CIPSO header with the CIPSO header associated with a label. It will always match the CIPSO headers correctly. Targeted for git://git.gitorious.org/smack-next/kernel.git Signed-off-by: Casey Schaufler <casey@schaufler-ca.com>

This patch adds a hash table to quicken searching of a smack label by its name. Basically, the patch improves performance of SMACK initialization. Parsing of rules involves translation from a string to a smack_known (aka label) entity which is done in smk_find_entry(). The current implementation of the function iterates over a global list of smack_known resulting in O(N) complexity for smk_find_entry(). The total complexity of SMACK initialization becomes O(rules * labels). Therefore it scales quadratically with a complexity of a system. Applying the patch reduced the complexity of smk_find_entry() to O(1) as long as number of label is in hundreds. If the number of labels is increased please update SMACK_HASH_SLOTS constant defined in security/smack/smack.h. Introducing the configuration of this constant with Kconfig or cmdline might be a good idea. The size of the hash table was adjusted experimentally. The rule set used by TIZEN contains circa 17K rules for 500 labels. The table above contains results of SMACK initialization using 'time smackctl apply' bash command. The 'Ref' is a kernel without this patch applied. The consecutive values refers to value of SMACK_HASH_SLOTS. Every measurement was repeated three times to reduce noise. | Ref | 1 | 2 | 4 | 8 | 16 | 32 | 64 | 128 | 256 | 512 -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Run1 | 1.156 | 1.096 | 0.883 | 0.764 | 0.692 | 0.667 | 0.649 | 0.633 | 0.634 | 0.629 | 0.620 Run2 | 1.156 | 1.111 | 0.885 | 0.764 | 0.694 | 0.661 | 0.649 | 0.651 | 0.634 | 0.638 | 0.623 Run3 | 1.160 | 1.107 | 0.886 | 0.764 | 0.694 | 0.671 | 0.661 | 0.638 | 0.631 | 0.624 | 0.638 AVG | 1.157 | 1.105 | 0.885 | 0.764 | 0.693 | 0.666 | 0.653 | 0.641 | 0.633 | 0.630 | 0.627 Surprisingly, a single hlist is slightly faster than a double-linked list. The speed-up saturates near 64 slots. Therefore I chose value 128 to provide some margin if more labels were used. It looks that IO becomes a new bottleneck.

Also ns and ns->unconfined have a circular refcounting dependency that is problematic and must be broken. Currently this is done incorrectly when the namespace is destroyed. Fix this by forward referencing unconfined via the replacedby infrastructure instead of directly updating the ns->unconfined pointer. Remove the circular refcount dependency by making the ns and its unconfined profile share the same refcount.

Most changes aren't visible to userland at all at this point and are laying foundation for the planned unified hierarchy. - The biggest change is decoupling the lifetime management of css (cgroup_subsys_state) from that of cgroup's. Because controllers (cpu, memory, block and so on) will need to be dynamically enabled and disabled, css which is the association point between a cgroup and a controller may come and go dynamically across the lifetime of a cgroup. Till now, css's were created when the associated cgroup was created and stayed till the cgroup got destroyed. Assumptions around this tight coupling permeated through cgroup core and controllers. These assumptions are gradually removed, which consists bulk of patches, and css destruction path is completely decoupled from cgroup destruction path. Note that decoupling of creation path is relatively easy on top of these changes and the patchset is pending for the next window. - cgroup has its own event mechanism cgroup.event_control, which is only used by memcg. It is overly complex trying to achieve high flexibility whose benefits seem dubious at best. Going forward, new events will simply generate file modified event and the existing mechanism is being made specific to memcg.

The reasons were maintaining consistency with css_for_each_child() and that at the time of introduction more use cases needed skipping the origin anyway; however, given that css_is_descendant() considers self to be a descendant, omitting the origin css has become more confusing and looking at the accumulated use cases rather clearly indicates that including origin would result in simpler code overall. While this is a change which can easily lead to subtle bugs, cgroup API including the iterators has recently gone through major restructuring and no out-of-tree changes will be applicable without adjustments making this a relatively acceptable opportunity for this type of change. The conversions are mostly straight-forward. If the iteration block had explicit origin handling before or after, it's moved inside the iteration. If not, if (pos == origin) continue; is added. Some conversions add extra reference get/put around origin handling by consolidating origin handling and the rest. While the extra ref operations aren't strictly necessary, this shouldn't cause any noticeable difference.

Please see the previous commit which converts the subsystem methods for rationale. This patch converts all cftype file operations to take @css instead of @cgroup. cftypes for the cgroup core files don't have their subsytem pointer set. These will automatically use the dummy_css added by the previous patch and can be converted the same way. Most subsystem conversions are straight forwards but there are some interesting ones. * freezer: update_if_frozen() is also converted to take @css instead of @cgroup for consistency. This will make the code look simpler too once iterators are converted to use css. * memory/vmpressure: mem_cgroup_from_css() needs to be exported to vmpressure while mem_cgroup_from_cont() can be made static.

This in turn means that cgroup_css() should be synchronized and may return NULL, making it more cumbersome to use. * Differing levels of per-subsystem granularity in the unified hierarchy means that the task and descendant iterators should behave differently depending on the specific subsystem the iteration is being performed for. * In majority of the cases, subsystems only care about its part in the cgroup hierarchy - ie. the hierarchy of css's. Subsystem methods often obtain the matching css pointer from the cgroup and don't bother with the cgroup pointer itself. Passing around css fits much better. This patch converts all cgroup_subsys methods to take @css instead of @cgroup. The conversions are mostly straight-forward. A few noteworthy changes are * ->css_alloc() now takes css of the parent cgroup rather than the pointer to the new cgroup as the css for the new cgroup doesn't exist yet. Knowing the parent css is enough for all the existing subsystems. * In kernel/cgroup.c::offline_css(), unnecessary open coded css dereference is replaced with local variable access. This patch shouldn't cause any behavior differences. v2: Unnecessary explicit cgrp->subsys[] deref in css_online() replaced with local variable @css as suggested by Li Zefan. Rebased on top of new for-3.12 which includes for-3.11-fixes so that ->css_free() invocation added by da0a12caff ("cgroup: fix a leak when percpu_ref_init() fails") is converted too.

This patch implements css_parent() which, given a css, returns its parent. The function is guarnateed to valid non-NULL parent css as long as the target css is not at the top of the hierarchy. freezer, cpuset, cpu, cpuacct, hugetlb, memory, net_cls and devices are converted to use css_parent() instead of accessing cgroup->parent directly. * __parent_ca() is dropped from cpuacct and its usage is replaced with parent_ca(). The only difference between the two was NULL test on cgroup->parent which is now embedded in css_parent() making the distinction moot. Note that eventually a css->parent field will be added to css and the NULL check in css_parent() will go away. This patch shouldn't cause any behavior differences.

The only difference from the one I made the other day is that this has Eliezer's interface renames and the timeout handling changes made based upon your feedback, as well as a few bug fixes that have trickeled in. Highlights: 1) Low latency device polling, eliminating the cost of interrupt handling and context switches. Allows direct polling of a network device from socket operations, such as recvmsg() and poll(). Currently ixgbe, mlx4, and bnx2x support this feature. Full high level description, performance numbers, and design in commit 0a4db187a999 ("Merge branch 'll_poll'") From Eliezer Tamir. 2) With the routing cache removed, ip_check_mc_rcu() gets exercised more than ever before in the case where we have lots of multicast addresses. Use a hash table instead of a simple linked list, from Eric Dumazet. 3) Add driver for Atheros CQA98xx 802.11ac wireless devices, from Bartosz Markowski, Janusz Dziedzic, Kalle Valo, Marek Kwaczynski, Marek Puzyniak, Michal Kazior, and Sujith Manoharan. 4) Support reporting the TUN device persist flag to userspace, from Pavel Emelyanov. 5) Allow controlling network device VF link state using netlink, from Rony Efraim. 6) Support GRE tunneling in openvswitch, from Pravin B Shelar. 7) Adjust SOCK_MIN_RCVBUF and SOCK_MIN_SNDBUF for modern times, from Daniel Borkmann and Eric Dumazet. 8) Allow controlling of TCP quickack behavior on a per-route basis, from Cong Wang. 9) Several bug fixes and improvements to vxlan from Stephen Hemminger, Pravin B Shelar, and Mike Rapoport. In particular, support receiving on multiple UDP ports. 10) Major cleanups, particular in the area of debugging and cookie lifetime handline, to the SCTP protocol code. From Daniel Borkmann. 11) Allow packets to cross network namespaces when traversing tunnel devices. From Nicolas Dichtel. 12) Allow monitoring netlink traffic via AF_PACKET sockets, in a manner akin to how we monitor real network traffic via ptype_all. From Daniel Borkmann. 13) Several bug fixes and improvements for the new alx device driver, from Johannes Berg. 14) Fix scalability issues in the netem packet scheduler's time queue, by using an rbtree. From Eric Dumazet. 15) Several bug fixes in TCP loss recovery handling, from Yuchung Cheng. 16) Add support for GSO segmentation of MPLS packets, from Simon Horman. 17) Make network notifiers have a real data type for the opaque pointer that's passed into them. Use this to properly handle network device flag changes in arp_netdev_event(). From Jiri Pirko and Timo Teräs. 18) Convert several drivers over to module_pci_driver(), from Peter Huewe. 19) tcp_fixup_rcvbuf() can loop 500 times over loopback, just use a O(1) calculation instead. From Eric Dumazet. 20) Support setting of explicit tunnel peer addresses in ipv6, just like ipv4. From Nicolas Dichtel. 21) Protect x86 BPF JIT against spraying attacks, from Eric Dumazet. 22) Prevent a single high rate flow from overruning an individual cpu during RX packet processing via selective flow shedding. From Willem de Bruijn. 23) Don't use spinlocks in TCP md5 signing fast paths, from Eric Dumazet. 24) Don't just drop GSO packets which are above the TBF scheduler's burst limit, chop them up so they are in-bounds instead. Also from Eric Dumazet. 25) VLAN offloads are missed when configured on top of a bridge, fix from Vlad Yasevich. 26) Support IPV6 in ping sockets. From Lorenzo Colitti. 27) Receive flow steering targets should be updated at poll() time too, from David Majnemer. 28) Fix several corner case regressions in PMTU/redirect handling due to the routing cache removal, from Timo Teräs. 29) We have to be mindful of ipv4 mapped ipv6 sockets in upd_v6_push_pending_frames(). From Hannes Frederic Sowa. 30) Fix L2TP sequence number handling bugs, from James Chapman." * git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/davem/net-next: (1214 commits) drivers/net: caif: fix wrong rtnl_is_locked() usage drivers/net: enic: release rtnl_lock on error-path vhost-net: fix use-after-free in vhost_net_flush net: mv643xx_eth: do not use port number as platform device id net: sctp: confirm route during forward progress virtio_net: fix race in RX VQ processing virtio: support unlocked queue poll net/cadence/macb: fix bug/typo in extracting gem_irq_read_clear bit Documentation: Fix references to defunct linux-net@vger.kernel.org net/fs: change busy poll time accounting net: rename low latency sockets functions to busy poll bridge: fix some kernel warning in multicast timer sfc: Fix memory leak when discarding scattered packets sit: fix tunnel update via netlink dt:net:stmmac: Add dt specific phy reset callback support. dt:net:stmmac: Add support to dwmac version 3.610 and 3.710 dt:net:stmmac: Allocate platform data only if its NULL. net:stmmac: fix memleak in the open method ipv6: rt6_check_neigh should successfully verify neigh if no NUD information are available net: ipv6: fix wrong ping_v6_sendmsg return value ...

| |\ \ | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Merge 'net' bug fixes into 'net-next' as we have patches that will build on top of them. This merge commit includes a change from Emil Goode (emilgoode@gmail.com) that fixes a warning that would have been introduced by this merge. Specifically it fixes the pingv6_ops method ipv6_chk_addr() to add a "const" to the "struct net_device *dev" argument and likewise update the dummy_ipv6_chk_addr() declaration.
