2012-01-18Audit: push audit success and retcode into arch ptrace.hEric Paris1-4/+12
The audit system previously expected arches calling to audit_syscall_exit to supply as arguments if the syscall was a success and what the return code was. Audit also provides a helper AUDITSC_RESULT which was supposed to simplify things by converting from negative retcodes to an audit internal magic value stating success or failure. This helper was wrong and could indicate that a valid pointer returned to userspace was a failed syscall. The fix is to fix the layering foolishness. We now pass audit_syscall_exit a struct pt_reg and it in turns calls back into arch code to collect the return value and to determine if the syscall was a success or failure. We also define a generic is_syscall_success() macro which determines success/failure based on if the value is < -MAX_ERRNO. This works for arches like x86 which do not use a separate mechanism to indicate syscall failure. We make both the is_syscall_success() and regs_return_value() static inlines instead of macros. The reason is because the audit function must take a void* for the regs. (uml calls theirs struct uml_pt_regs instead of just struct pt_regs so audit_syscall_exit can't take a struct pt_regs). Since the audit function takes a void* we need to use static inlines to cast it back to the arch correct structure to dereference it. The other major change is that on some arches, like ia64, MIPS and ppc, we change regs_return_value() to give us the negative value on syscall failure. THE only other user of this macro, kretprobe_example.c, won't notice and it makes the value signed consistently for the audit functions across all archs. In arch/sh/kernel/ptrace_64.c I see that we were using regs[9] in the old audit code as the return value. But the ptrace_64.h code defined the macro regs_return_value() as regs[3]. I have no idea which one is correct, but this patch now uses the regs_return_value() function, so it now uses regs[3]. For powerpc we previously used regs->result but now use the regs_return_value() function which uses regs->gprs[3]. regs->gprs[3] is always positive so the regs_return_value(), much like ia64 makes it negative before calling the audit code when appropriate.

2012-01-18seccomp: audit abnormal end to a process due to seccompEric Paris2-21/+31
The audit system likes to collect information about processes that end abnormally (SIGSEGV) as this may me useful intrusion detection information. This patch adds audit support to collect information when seccomp forces a task to exit because of misbehavior in a similar way. Signed-off-by: Eric Paris <eparis@redhat.com>
2012-01-18audit: check current inode and containing object when filtering on major and ↵Eric Paris1-10/+14
minor The audit system has the ability to filter on the major and minor number of the device containing the inode being operated upon. Lets say that /dev/sda1 has major,minor 8,1 and that we mount /dev/sda1 on /boot. Now lets say we add a watch with a filter on 8,1. If we proceed to open an inode inside /boot, such as /vboot/vmlinuz, we will match the major,minor filter. Lets instead assume that one were to use a tool like debugfs and were to open /dev/sda1 directly and to modify it's contents. We might hope that this would also be logged, but it isn't. The rules will check the major,minor of the device containing /dev/sda1. In other words the rule would match on the major/minor of the tmpfs mounted at /dev. I believe these rules should trigger on either device. The man page is devoid of useful information about the intended semantics. It only seems logical that if you want to know everything that happened on a major,minor that would include things that happened to the device itself... Signed-off-by: Eric Paris <eparis@redhat.com>
2012-01-18audit: drop the meaningless and format breaking word 'user'Eric Paris1-1/+1
userspace audit messages look like so: type=USER msg=audit(1271170549.415:24710): user pid=14722 uid=0 auid=500 ses=1 subj=unconfined_u:unconfined_r:auditctl_t:s0-s0:c0.c1023 msg='' That third field just says 'user'.

2012-01-18audit: dynamically allocate audit_names when not enough space is in the ↵Eric Paris1-188/+215
names array This patch does 2 things. First it reduces the number of audit_names allocated in every audit context from 20 to 5. 5 should be enough for all 'normal' syscalls (rename being the worst). Some syscalls can still touch more the 5 inodes such as mount. When rpc filesystem is mounted it will create inodes and those can exceed 5. To handle that problem this patch will dynamically allocate audit_names if it needs more than 5. This should decrease the typicall memory usage while still supporting all the possible kernel operations. Signed-off-by: Eric Paris <eparis@redhat.com>
2012-01-18audit: make filetype matching consistent with other filtersEric Paris2-12/+11
Every other filter that matches part of the inodes list collected by audit will match against any of the inodes on that list. The filetype matching however had a strange way of doing things. It allowed userspace to indicated if it should match on the first of the second name collected by the kernel. Name collection ordering seems like a kernel internal and making userspace rules get that right just seems like a bad idea. As it turns out the userspace audit writers had no idea it was doing this and thus never overloaded the value field. The kernel always checked the first name collected which for the tested rules was always correct. This patch just makes the filetype matching like the major, minor, inode, and LSM rules in that it will match against any of the names collected. It also changes the rule validation to reject the old unused rule types. Noone knew it was there. Noone used it. Why keep around the extra code? Signed-off-by: Eric Paris <eparis@redhat.com>

2012-01-11user namespace: make signal.c respect user namespacesSerge E. Hallyn1-3/+40
ipc/mqueue.c: for __SI_MESQ, convert the uid being sent to recipient's user namespace. (new, thanks Oleg) __send_signal: convert current's uid to the recipient's user namespace for any siginfo which is not SI_FROMKERNEL (patch from Oleg, thanks again :) do_notify_parent and do_notify_parent_cldstop: map task's uid to parent's user namespace ptrace_signal maps parent's uid into current's user namespace before including in signal to current. IIUC Oleg has argued that this shouldn't matter as the debugger will play with it, but it seems like not converting the value currently being set is misleading. Changelog: Sep 20: Inspired by Oleg's suggestion, define map_cred_ns() helper to simplify callers and help make clear what we are translating (which uid into which namespace). Passing the target task would make callers even easier to read, but we pass in user_ns because current_user_ns() != task_cred_xxx(current, user_ns). Sep 20: As recommended by Oleg, also put task_pid_vnr() under rcu_read_lock in ptrace_signal(). Sep 23: In send_signal(), detect when (user) signal is coming from an ancestor or unrelated user namespace. Pass that on to __send_signal, which sets si_uid to 0 or overflowuid if needed. Oct 12: Base on Oleg's fixup_uid() patch. On top of that, handle all SI_FROMKERNEL cases at callers, because we can't assume sender is current in those cases.

2012-01-11workqueue: make alloc_workqueue() take printf fmt and args for nameTejun Heo1-10/+22
alloc_workqueue() currently expects the passed in @name pointer to remain accessible. This is inconvenient and a bit silly given that the whole wq is being dynamically allocated. This patch updates alloc_workqueue() and friends to take printf format string instead of opaque string and matching varargs at the end. The name is allocated together with the wq and formatted. alloc_ordered_workqueue() is converted to a macro to unify varargs handling with alloc_workqueue(), and, while at it, add comment to alloc_workqueue(). None of the current in-kernel users pass in string with '%' as constant name and this change shouldn't cause any problem.

2012-01-11tracepoint: add tracepoints for debugging oom_score_adjKAMEZAWA Hiroyuki1-0/+6
oom_score_adj is used for guarding processes from OOM-Killer. One of problem is that it's inherited at fork(). When a daemon set oom_score_adj and make children, it's hard to know where the value is set. This patch adds some tracepoints useful for debugging. This patch adds 3 trace points. - creating new task - renaming a task (exec) - set oom_score_adj To debug, users need to enable some trace pointer. Maybe filtering is useful as # EVENT=/sys/kernel/debug/tracing/events/task/ # echo "oom_score_adj != 0" > $EVENT/task_newtask/filter # echo "oom_score_adj != 0" > $EVENT/task_rename/filter # echo 1 > $EVENT/enable # EVENT=/sys/kernel/debug/tracing/events/oom/ # echo 1 > $EVENT/enable output will be like this. # grep oom /sys/kernel/debug/tracing/trace bash-7699 [007] d..3 5140.744510: oom_score_adj_update: pid=7699 comm=bash oom_score_adj=-1000 bash-7699 [007] ...1 5151.818022: task_newtask: pid=7729 comm=bash clone_flags=1200011 oom_score_adj=-1000 ls-7729 [003] ...2 5151.818504: task_rename: pid=7729 oldcomm=bash newcomm=ls oom_score_adj=-1000 bash-7699 [002] ...1 5175.701468: task_newtask: pid=7730 comm=bash clone_flags=1200011 oom_score_adj=-1000 grep-7730 [007] ...2 5175.701993: task_rename: pid=7730 oldcomm=bash newcomm=grep oom_score_adj=-1000 Signed-off-by: KAMEZAWA Hiroyuki <kamezawa.hiroyu@jp.fujitsu.com> Cc: KOSAKI Motohiro <kosaki.motohiro@jp.fujitsu.com> Acked-by: David Rientjes <rientjes@google.com> Signed-off-by: Andrew Morton <akpm@linux-foundation.org> Signed-off-by: Linus Torvalds <torvalds@linux-foundation.org>

2012-01-05cgroup: fix to allow mounting a hierarchy by nameLi Zefan1-3/+3
If we mount a hierarchy with a specified name, the name is unique, and we can use it to mount the hierarchy without specifying its set of subsystem names. This feature is documented is Documentation/cgroups/cgroups.txt section 2.3 Here's an example: # mount -t cgroup -o cpuset,name=myhier xxx /cgroup1 # mount -t cgroup -o name=myhier xxx /cgroup2 But it was broken by commit 32a8cf235e2f192eb002755076994525cdbaa35a (cgroup: make the mount options parsing more accurate) This fixes the regression.

2012-01-05ptrace: ensure JOBCTL_STOP_SIGMASK is not zero after detachOleg Nesterov2-3/+12
This is the temporary simple fix for 3.2, we need more changes in this area. 1. do_signal_stop() assumes that the running untraced thread in the stopped thread group is not possible. This was our goal but it is not yet achieved: a stopped-but-resumed tracee can clone the running thread which can initiate another group-stop. Remove WARN_ON_ONCE(!current->ptrace). 2. A new thread always starts with ->jobctl = 0. If it is auto-attached and this group is stopped, __ptrace_unlink() sets JOBCTL_STOP_PENDING but JOBCTL_STOP_SIGMASK part is zero, this triggers WANR_ON(!signr) in do_jobctl_trap() if another debugger attaches. Change __ptrace_unlink() to set the artificial SIGSTOP for report. Alternatively we could change ptrace_init_task() to copy signr from current, but this means we can copy it for no reason and hide the possible similar problems.

2012-01-05ptrace: partially fix the do_wait(WEXITED) vs EXIT_DEAD->EXIT_ZOMBIE raceOleg Nesterov1-1/+8
Test-case: int main(void) { int pid, status; pid = fork(); if (!pid) { for (;;) { if (!fork()) return 0; if (waitpid(-1, &status, 0) < 0) { printf("ERR!! wait: %m\n"); return 0; } } } assert(ptrace(PTRACE_ATTACH, pid, 0,0) == 0); assert(waitpid(-1, NULL, 0) == pid); assert(ptrace(PTRACE_SETOPTIONS, pid, 0, PTRACE_O_TRACEFORK) == 0); do { ptrace(PTRACE_CONT, pid, 0, 0); pid = waitpid(-1, NULL, 0); } while (pid > 0); return 1; } It fails because ->real_parent sees its child in EXIT_DEAD state while the tracer is going to change the state back to EXIT_ZOMBIE in wait_task_zombie(). The offending commit is 823b018e which moved the EXIT_DEAD check, but in fact we should not blame it. The original code was not correct as well because it didn't take ptrace_reparented() into account and because we can't really trust ->ptrace. This patch adds the additional check to close this particular race but it doesn't solve the whole problem. We simply can't rely on ->ptrace in this case, it can be cleared if the tracer is multithreaded by the exiting ->parent. I think we should kill EXIT_DEAD altogether, we should always remove the soon-to-be-reaped child from ->children or at least we should never do the DEAD->ZOMBIE transition. But this is too complex for 3.2.

Move invalidate_bdev, block_sync_page into fs/block_dev.c. Export kill_bdev as well, so brd doesn't have to open code it. Reduce buffer_head.h requirement accordingly. Removed a rather large comment from invalidate_bdev, as it looked a bit obsolete to bother moving. The small comment replacing it says enough.
