* fix setuid sometimes wouldn'tHugh Dickins2009-03-28
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | check_unsafe_exec() also notes whether the fs_struct is being shared by more threads than will get killed by the exec, and if so sets LSM_UNSAFE_SHARE to make bprm_set_creds() careful about euid. But /proc/<pid>/cwd and /proc/<pid>/root lookups make transient use of get_fs_struct(), which also raises that sharing count. This might occasionally cause a setuid program not to change euid, in the same way as happened with files->count (check_unsafe_exec also looks at sighand->count, but /proc doesn't raise that one). We'd prefer exec not to unshare fs_struct: so fix this in procfs, replacing get_fs_struct() by get_fs_path(), which does path_get while still holding task_lock, instead of raising fs->count.

* fix setuid sometimes doesn'tHugh Dickins2009-03-28
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Joe Malicki reports that setuid sometimes doesn't: very rarely, a setuid root program does not get root euid; and, by the way, they have a health check running lsof every few minutes. Right, check_unsafe_exec() notes whether the files_struct is being shared by more threads than will get killed by the exec, and if so sets LSM_UNSAFE_SHARE to make bprm_set_creds() careful about euid. But /proc/<pid>/fd and /proc/<pid>/fdinfo lookups make transient use of get_files_struct(), which also raises that sharing count. There's a rather simple fix for this: exec's check on files->count has been redundant ever since 2.6.1 made it unshare_files() (except while compat_do_execve() omitted to do so) - just remove that check. [Note to -stable: this patch will not apply before 2.6.29: earlier releases should just remove the files->count line from unsafe_exec().] Reported-by: Joe Malicki <jmalicki@metacarta.com> Narrowed-down-by: Michael Itz <mitz@metacarta.com> Tested-by: Joe Malicki <jmalicki@metacarta.com> Signed-off-by: Hugh Dickins <hugh@veritas.com> Cc: stable@kernel.org Signed-off-by: Linus Torvalds <torvalds@linux-foundation.org>
* compat_do_execve should unshare_filesHugh Dickins2009-03-28
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | 2.6.26's commit fd8328be874f4190a811c58cd4778ec2c74d2c05 "sanitize handling of shared descriptor tables in failing execve()" moved the unshare_files() from flush_old_exec() and several binfmts to the head of do_execve(); but forgot to make the same change to compat_do_execve(), leaving a CLONE_FILES files_struct shared across exec from a 32-bit process on a 64-bit kernel. It's arguable whether the files_struct really ought to be unshared across exec; but 2.6.1 made that so to stop the loading binary's fd leaking into other threads, and a 32-bit process on a 64-bit kernel ought to behave in the same way as 32 on 32 and 64 on 64.

| * fs: avoid I_NEW inodesNick Piggin2009-03-27
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | To be on the safe side, it should be less fragile to exclude I_NEW inodes from inode list scans by default (unless there is an important reason to have them). Normally they will get excluded (eg. by zero refcount or writecount etc), however it is a bit fragile for list walkers to know exactly what parts of the inode state is set up and valid to test when in I_NEW. So along these lines, move I_NEW checks upward as well (sometimes taking I_FREEING etc checks with them too -- this shouldn't be a problem should it?)

| * Unroll essentials of do_remount_sb() into devptsSukadev Bhattiprolu2009-03-27
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | On remount, devpts fs only needs to parse the mount options. Users cannot directly create/dirty files in /dev/pts so the MS_RDONLY flag and shrinking the dcache does not really apply to devpts. So effectively on remount, devpts only parses the mount options and updates these options in its super block. As such, we could replace do_remount_sb() call with a direct parse_mount_options(). Doing so enables subsequent patches to avoid parsing the mount options twice and simplify the code.

| * vfs: simple_set_mnt() should return voidSukadev Bhattiprolu2009-03-27
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | simple_set_mnt() is defined as returning 'int' but always returns 0. Callers assume simple_set_mnt() never fails and don't properly cleanup if it were to _ever_ fail. For instance, get_sb_single() and get_sb_nodev() should: up_write(sb->s_unmount); deactivate_super(sb); if simple_set_mnt() fails. Since simple_set_mnt() never fails, would be cleaner if it did not return anything.

| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | ufs2 fast symlinks can be twice as long as ufs ones, however the code was using the ufs size in various places. Fix that so ufs2 symlinks over 60 characters aren't truncated. Note that we copy the entire area instead of using the maxsymlinklen field from the superblock. This way we will be more robust against corruption (of the superblock). While we are at it, use memcpy instead of open-coding it with for loops.

| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Due to a different size of ino_t ustat needs a compat handler, but currently only x86 and mips provide one.

This was suggested by Arnd Bergmann. Found by Eric Sandeen when running xfstests/017 on ppc64, which causes stack smashing warnings on RHEL/Fedora due to the too large amount of data writen by the syscall.
