* [PATCH] Capture selinux subject/object context information.Dustin Kirkland2006-03-20
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | This patch extends existing audit records with subject/object context information. Audit records associated with filesystem inodes, ipc, and tasks now contain SELinux label information in the field "subj" if the item is performing the action, or in "obj" if the item is the receiver of an action. These labels are collected via hooks in SELinux and appended to the appropriate record in the audit code. This additional information is required for Common Criteria Labeled Security Protection Profile (LSPP).

* [PATCH] Exclude messages by message typeDustin Kirkland2006-03-20
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | - Add a new, 5th filter called "exclude". - And add a new field AUDIT_MSGTYPE. - Define a new function audit_filter_exclude() that takes a message type as input and examines all rules in the filter. It returns '1' if the message is to be excluded, and '0' otherwise. - Call the audit_filter_exclude() function near the top of audit_log_start() just after asserting audit_initialized. If the message type is not to be audited, return NULL very early, before doing a lot of work.

* [PATCH] Collect more inode information during syscall processing.Amy Griffis2006-03-20
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | This patch augments the collection of inode info during syscall processing. It represents part of the functionality that was provided by the auditfs patch included in RHEL4. Specifically, it: - Collects information for target inodes created or removed during syscalls. Previous code only collects information for the target inode's parent. - Adds the audit_inode() hook to syscalls that operate on a file descriptor (e.g. fchown), enabling audit to do inode filtering for these calls. - Modifies filtering code to check audit context for either an inode # or a parent inode # matching a given rule. - Modifies logging to provide inode # for both parent and child. - Protect debug info from NULL audit_names.name.

* [PATCH] Filter rule comparatorsDustin Kirkland2006-03-20
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Currently, audit only supports the "=" and "!=" operators in the -F filter rules. This patch reworks the support for "=" and "!=", and adds support for ">", ">=", "<", and "<=". This turned out to be a pretty clean, and simply process. I ended up using the high order bits of the "field", as suggested by Steve and Amy. This allowed for no changes whatsoever to the netlink communications. See the documentation within the patch in the include/linux/audit.h area, where there is a table that explains the reasoning of the bitmask assignments clearly. The patch adds a new function, audit_comparator(left, op, right). This function will perform the specified comparison (op, which defaults to "==" for backward compatibility) between two values (left and right). If the negate bit is on, it will negate whatever that result was. This value is returned.

| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | From Dave Johnson <djohnson+linuxmips@sw.starentnetworks.com>: sb1250_gettimeoffset() simply reads the current cpu 0 timer remaining value, however once this counter reaches 0 and the interrupt is raised, it immediately resets and begins to count down again. If sb1250_gettimeoffset() is called on cpu 1 via do_gettimeofday() after the timer has reset but prior to cpu 0 processing the interrupt and taking write_seqlock() in timer_interrupt() it will return a full value (or close to it) causing time to jump backwards 1ms. Once cpu 0 handles the interrupt and timer_interrupt() gets far enough along it will jump forward 1ms. Fix this problem by implementing mips_hpt_*() on sb1250 using a spare timer unrelated to the existing periodic interrupt timers. It runs at 1Mhz with a full 23bit counter. This eliminated the custom do_gettimeoffset() for sb1250 and allowed use of the generic fixed_rate_gettimeoffset() using mips_hpt_*() and timerhi/timerlo.

* | [PATCH] remove __put_task_struct_cb export againChristoph Hellwig2006-03-11
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | The patch '[PATCH] RCU signal handling' [1] added an export for __put_task_struct_cb, a put_task_struct helper newly introduced in that patch. But the put_task_struct couldn't be used modular previously as __put_task_struct wasn't exported. There are not callers of it in modular code, and it shouldn't be exported because we don't want drivers to hold references to task_structs. This patch removes the export and folds __put_task_struct into __put_task_struct_cb as there's no other caller.

* | [PATCH] slab: Node rotor for freeing alien caches and remote per cpu pages.Christoph Lameter2006-03-09
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | The cache reaper currently tries to free all alien caches and all remote per cpu pages in each pass of cache_reap. For a machines with large number of nodes (such as Altix) this may lead to sporadic delays of around ~10ms. Interrupts are disabled while reclaiming creating unacceptable delays. This patch changes that behavior by adding a per cpu reap_node variable. Instead of attempting to free all caches, we free only one alien cache and the per cpu pages from one remote node. That reduces the time spend in cache_reap. However, doing so will lengthen the time it takes to completely drain all remote per cpu pagesets and all alien caches. The time needed will grow with the number of nodes in the system. All caches are drained when they overflow their respective capacity. So the drawback here is only that a bit of memory may be wasted for awhile longer. Details: 1. Rename drain_remote_pages to drain_node_pages to allow the specification of the node to drain of pcp pages. 2. Add additional functions init_reap_node, next_reap_node for NUMA that manage a per cpu reap_node counter. 3. Add a reap_alien function that reaps only from the current reap_node. For us this seems to be a critical issue. Holdoffs of an average of ~7ms cause some HPC benchmarks to slow down significantly. F.e. NAS parallel slows down dramatically. NAS parallel has a 12-16 seconds runtime w/o rotor compared to 5.8 secs with the rotor patches. It gets down to 5.05 secs with the additional interrupt holdoff reductions.

In other words, the noerror behaviour would apply to the next system call where we had to reschedule or deliver a signal, which is not necessarily the current system call. * 32-bit wasn't doing the call to ptrace_notify in the syscall exit path when the _TIF_SINGLESTEP bit was set. * _TIF_RESTOREALL was in both _TIF_USER_WORK_MASK and _TIF_PERSYSCALL_MASK, which is odd since _TIF_RESTOREALL is only set by system calls. I took it out of _TIF_USER_WORK_MASK. * On 64-bit, _TIF_RESTOREALL wasn't causing the non-volatile registers to be restored (unless perhaps a signal was delivered or the syscall was traced or single-stepped). Thus the non-volatile registers weren't restored on exit from a signal handler. We probably got away with it mostly because signal handlers written in C wouldn't alter the non-volatile registers. * On 32-bit I simplified the code and made it more like 64-bit by making the syscall exit path jump to ret_from_except to handle preemption and signal delivery. * 32-bit was calling do_signal unnecessarily when _TIF_RESTOREALL was set - but I think because of that 32-bit was actually restoring the non-volatile registers on exit from a signal handler. * I changed the order of enabling interrupts and saving the non-volatile registers before calling do_syscall_trace_leave; now we enable interrupts first.

This is because they route it to both and the result is anded together and the CPU ends up processing it twice. This patch changes check_timer to disable the 8254 routing for interrupt 0. I think it would be safe on all chipsets actually (i tested it on a couple and it worked everywhere) and Windows seems to do it in a similar way, but to be conservative this patch only enables this mode on ATI (and adds options to enable/disable too) Ported over from a similar x86-64 change. I reused the ACPI earlyquirk infrastructure for the ATI bridge check, but tweaked it a bit to work even without ACPI. Inspired by a patch from Chuck Ebbert, but redone.

Tested on both x86_64 and powerpc. The way we do file struct accounting is not very suitable for batched freeing. For scalability reasons, file accounting was constructor/destructor based. This meant that nr_files was decremented only when the object was removed from the slab cache. This is susceptible to slab fragmentation. With RCU based file structure, consequent batched freeing and a test program like Serge's, we just speed this up and end up with a very fragmented slab - llm22:~ # cat /proc/sys/fs/file-nr 587730 0 758844 At the same time, I see only a 2000+ objects in filp cache. The following patch I fixes this problem. This patch changes the file counting by removing the filp_count_lock. Instead we use a separate percpu counter, nr_files, for now and all accesses to it are through get_nr_files() api. In the sysctl handler for nr_files, we populate files_stat.nr_files before returning to user. Counting files as an when they are created and destroyed (as opposed to inside slab) allows us to correctly count open files with RCU. Signed-off-by: Dipankar Sarma <dipankar@in.ibm.com> Cc: "Paul E.

| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | This patch adds new tunables for RCU queue and finished batches. There are two types of controls - number of completed RCU updates invoked in a batch (blimit) and monitoring for high rate of incoming RCUs on a cpu (qhimark, qlowmark). By default, the per-cpu batch limit is set to a small value. If the input RCU rate exceeds the high watermark, we do two things - force quiescent state on all cpus and set the batch limit of the CPU to INTMAX. Setting batch limit to INTMAX forces all finished RCUs to be processed in one shot. If we have more than INTMAX RCUs queued up, then we have bigger problems anyway. Once the incoming queued RCUs fall below the low watermark, the batch limit is set to the default. Signed-off-by: Dipankar Sarma <dipankar@in.ibm.com> Cc: "Paul E.

| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Implement percpu_counter_sum(). This is a more accurate but slower version of percpu_counter_read_positive(). We need this for Alex's speedup-ext3_statfs patch and for the nr_file accounting fix. Otherwise these things would be too inaccurate on large CPU counts.

| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Patch from Catalin Marinas Chapter B2.7.3 in the latest ARM ARM (with v6 information) states that the completion of a TLB maintenance operation is only guaranteed by the execution of a DSB (Data Syncronization Barrier, formerly Data Write Barrier or Drain Write Buffer). Note that a DSB is only needed in the flush_tlb_kernel_* functions since the completion is guaranteed by a mode change (i.e. switching back to user mode) for the flush_tlb_user_* functions.

| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Also from Thomas Gleixner <tglx@linutronix.de> Function next_timer_interrupt() got broken with a recent patch 6ba1b91213e81aa92b5cf7539f7d2a94ff54947c as sys_nanosleep() was moved to hrtimer. This broke things as next_timer_interrupt() did not check hrtimer tree for next event. Function next_timer_interrupt() is needed with dyntick (CONFIG_NO_IDLE_HZ, VST) implementations, as the system can be in idle when next hrtimer event was supposed to happen. At least ARM and S390 currently use next_timer_interrupt().
