* V3 file capabilities: alter behavior of cap_setpcapAndrew Morgan2007-10-18
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | The non-filesystem capability meaning of CAP_SETPCAP is that a process, p1, can change the capabilities of another process, p2. This is not the meaning that was intended for this capability at all, and this implementation came about purely because, without filesystem capabilities, there was no way to use capabilities without one process bestowing them on another. Since we now have a filesystem support for capabilities we can fix the implementation of CAP_SETPCAP. The most significant thing about this change is that, with it in effect, no process can set the capabilities of another process. The capabilities of a program are set via the capability convolution rules: pI(post-exec) = pI(pre-exec) pP(post-exec) = (X(aka cap_bset) & fP) | (pI(post-exec) & fI) pE(post-exec) = fE ? pP(post-exec) : 0 at exec() time. As such, the only influence the pre-exec() program can have on the post-exec() program's capabilities are through the pI capability set. The correct implementation for CAP_SETPCAP (and that enabled by this patch) is that it can be used to add extra pI capabilities to the current process - to be picked up by subsequent exec()s when the above convolution rules are applied. Here is how it works: Let's say we have a process, p. It has capability sets, pE, pP and pI. Generally, p, can change the value of its own pI to pI' where (pI' & ~pI) & ~pP = 0. That is, the only new things in pI' that were not present in pI need to be present in pP. The role of CAP_SETPCAP is basically to permit changes to pI beyond the above: if (pE & CAP_SETPCAP) { pI' = anything; /* ie., even (pI' & ~pI) & ~pP != 0 */ } This capability is useful for things like login, which (say, via pam_cap) might want to raise certain inheritable capabilities for use by the children of the logged-in user's shell, but those capabilities are not useful to or needed by the login program itself. One such use might be to limit who can run ping. You set the capabilities of the 'ping' program to be "= cap_net_raw+i", and then only shells that have (pI & CAP_NET_RAW) will be able to run it. Without CAP_SETPCAP implemented as described above, login(pam_cap) would have to also have (pP & CAP_NET_RAW) in order to raise this capability and pass it on through the inheritable set.

* sysctl: deprecate sys_sysctl in a user space visible fashion.Eric W. Biederman2007-10-18
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | After adding checking to register_sysctl_table and finding a whole new set of bugs. Missed by countless code reviews and testers I have finally lost patience with the binary sysctl interface. The binary sysctl interface has been sort of deprecated for years and finding a user space program that uses the syscall is more difficult then finding a needle in a haystack. Problems continue to crop up, with the in kernel implementation. So since supporting something that no one uses is silly, deprecate sys_sysctl with a sufficient grace period and notice that the handful of user space applications that care can be fixed or replaced. The /proc/sys sysctl interface that people use will continue to be supported indefinitely. This patch moves the tested warning about sysctls from the path where sys_sysctl to a separate path called from both implementations of sys_sysctl, and it adds a proper entry into Documentation/feature-removal-schedule. Allowing us to revisit this in a couple years time and actually kill sys_sysctl. [lethal@linux-sh.org: sysctl: Fix syscall disabled build] Signed-off-by: Eric W.

| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Well it turns out after I dug into the problems a little more I was returning a few false positives so this patch updates my logic to remove them. - Don't complain about 0 ctl_names in sysctl_check_binary_path It is valid for someone to remove the sysctl binary interface and still keep the same sysctl proc interface. - Count ctl_names and procnames as matching if they both don't exist. - Only warn about missing min&max when the generic functions care.

* sysctl: Error on bad sysctl tablesEric W. Biederman2007-10-18
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | After going through the kernels sysctl tables several times it has become clear that code review and testing is just not effective in prevent problematic sysctl tables from being used in the stable kernel. I certainly can't seem to fix the problems as fast as they are introduced. Therefore this patch adds sysctl_check_table which is called when a sysctl table is registered and checks to see if we have a problematic sysctl table. The biggest part of the code is the table of valid binary sysctl entries, but since we have frozen our set of binary sysctls this table should not need to change, and it makes it much easier to detect when someone unintentionally adds a new binary sysctl value. As best as I can determine all of the several hundred errors spewed on boot up now are legitimate. [bunk@kernel.org: kernel/sysctl_check.c must #include <linux/string.h>] Signed-off-by: Eric W.

| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | There as been no easy way to wrap the default sysctl strategy routine except for returning 0. Which is not always what we want. The few instances I have seen that want different behaviour have written their own version of sysctl_data. While not too hard it is unnecessary code and has the potential for extra bugs. So to make these situations easier and make that part of sysctl more symetric I have factord sysctl_data out of do_sysctl_strategy and exported as a function everyone can use. Further having sysctl_data be an explicit function makes checking for badly formed sysctl tables much easier. Signed-off-by: Eric W.

* VFS: make notify_change pass ATTR_KILL_S*ID to setattr operationsJeff Layton2007-10-18
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | When an unprivileged process attempts to modify a file that has the setuid or setgid bits set, the VFS will attempt to clear these bits. The VFS will set the ATTR_KILL_SUID or ATTR_KILL_SGID bits in the ia_valid mask, and then call notify_change to clear these bits and set the mode accordingly. With a networked filesystem (NFS and CIFS in particular but likely others), the client machine or process may not have credentials that allow for setting the mode. In some situations, this can lead to file corruption, an operation failing outright because the setattr fails, or to races that lead to a mode change being reverted. In this situation, we'd like to just leave the handling of this to the server and ignore these bits. The problem is that by the time the setattr op is called, the VFS has already reinterpreted the ATTR_KILL_* bits into a mode change. The setattr operation has no way to know its intent. The following patch fixes this by making notify_change no longer clear the ATTR_KILL_SUID and ATTR_KILL_SGID bits in the ia_valid before handing it off to the setattr inode op. setattr can then check for the presence of these bits, and if they're set it can assume that the mode change was only for the purposes of clearing these bits. This means that we now have an implicit assumption that notify_change is never called with ATTR_MODE and either ATTR_KILL_S*ID bit set. Nothing currently enforces that, so this patch also adds a BUG() if that occurs.

* cpu hotplug: cpu: deliver CPU_UP_CANCELED only to NOTIFY_OKed callbacks with ↵Akinobu Mita2007-10-18
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | CPU_UP_PREPARE The functions in a CPU notifier chain is called with CPU_UP_PREPARE event before making the CPU online. If one of the callback returns NOTIFY_BAD, it stops to deliver CPU_UP_PREPARE event, and CPU online operation is canceled. Then CPU_UP_CANCELED event is delivered to the functions in a CPU notifier chain again. This CPU_UP_CANCELED event is delivered to the functions which have been called with CPU_UP_PREPARE, not delivered to the functions which haven't been called with CPU_UP_PREPARE. The problem that makes existing cpu hotplug error handlings complex is that the CPU_UP_CANCELED event is delivered to the function that has returned NOTIFY_BAD, too. Usually we don't expect to call destructor function against the object that has failed to initialize. It is like: err = register_something(); if (err) { unregister_something(); return err; } So it is natural to deliver CPU_UP_CANCELED event only to the functions that have returned NOTIFY_OK with CPU_UP_PREPARE event and not to call the function that have returned NOTIFY_BAD. This is what this patch is doing. Otherwise, every cpu hotplug notifiler has to track whether notifiler event is failed or not for each cpu. (drivers/base/topology.c is doing this with topology_dev_map) Similary this patch makes same thing with CPU_DOWN_PREPARE and CPU_DOWN_FAILED evnets.

* Hibernation: Enter platform hibernation state in a consistent wayRafael J. Wysocki2007-10-18
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Make hibernation_platform_enter() execute the enter-a-sleep-state sequence instead of the mixed shutdown-with-entering-S4 thing. Replace the shutting down of devices done by kernel_shutdown_prepare(), before entering the ACPI S4 sleep state, with suspending them and the shutting down of sysdevs with calling device_power_down(PMSG_SUSPEND) (just like before entering S1 or S3, but the target state is now S4).  Also, disable the nonboot CPUs before entering the sleep state (S4), which generally always is a good idea. This is known to fix the "double disk spin down during hibernation" on some machines, eg. HPC nx6325 (ref. http://lkml.org/lkml/2007/8/7/316 and the following thread).  Moreover, it has been reported to make /sys/class/rtc/rtc0/wakealarm work correctly with hibernation for some users. It also generally causes the hibernation state (ACPI S4) to be entered faster. Signed-off-by: Rafael J.

* Hibernation: Check if ACPI is enabled during restore in the right placeRafael J. Wysocki2007-10-18
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | The following scenario leads to total confusion of the platform firmware on some boxes (eg. HPC nx6325): * Hibernate with ACPI enabled * Resume passing "acpi=off" to the boot kernel To prevent this from happening it's necessary to check if ACPI is enabled (and enable it if that's not the case) _right_ _after_ control has been transfered from the boot kernel to the image kernel, before device_power_up() is called (ie. with interrupts disabled).  Enabling ACPI after calling device_power_up() turns out to be insufficient. For this reason, introduce new hibernation callback ->leave() that will be executed before device_power_up() by the restored image kernel.  To make it work, it also is necessary to move swsusp_suspend() from swsusp.c to disk.c (it's name is changed to "create_image", which is more up to the point).

| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Use temporary page tables for the kernel text mapping during hibernation restore on x86_64. Without the patch, the original boot kernel's page tables that represent the kernel text mapping are used while the core of the image kernel is being restored. However, in principle, if the boot kernel is not identical to the image kernel, the location of these page tables in the image kernel need not be the same, so we should create a safe copy of the kernel text mapping prior to restoring the core of the image kernel.

* Hibernation: Arbitrary boot kernel support on x86_64Rafael J. Wysocki2007-10-18
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Make it possible to restore a hibernation image on x86_64 with the help of a kernel different from the one in the image. The idea is to split the core restoration code into two separate parts and to place each of them in a different page.  The first part belongs to the boot kernel and is executed as the last step of the image kernel's memory restoration procedure.  Before being executed, it is relocated to a safe page that won't be overwritten while copying the image kernel pages. The final operation performed by it is a jump to the second part of the core restoration code that belongs to the image kernel and has just been restored. This code makes the CPU switch to the image kernel's page tables and restores the state of general purpose registers (including the stack pointer) from before the hibernation. The main issue with this idea is that in order to jump to the second part of the core restoration code the boot kernel needs to know its address.  However, this address may be passed to it in the image header.  Namely, the part of the image header previously used for checking if the version of the image kernel is correct can be replaced with some architecture specific data that will allow the boot kernel to jump to the right address within the image kernel.  These data should also be used for checking if the image kernel is compatible with the boot kernel (as far as the memory restroration procedure is concerned). It can be done, for example, with the help of a "magic" value that has to be equal in both kernels, so that they can be regarded as compatible. Signed-off-by: Rafael J.

* serial: turn serial console suspend a boot rather than compile time optionAndres Salomon2007-10-18
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Currently, there's a CONFIG_DISABLE_CONSOLE_SUSPEND that allows one to stop the serial console from being suspended when the rest of the machine goes to sleep. This is incredibly useful for debugging power management-related things; however, having it as a compile-time option has proved to be incredibly inconvenient for us (OLPC). There are plenty of times that we want serial console to not suspend, but for the most part we'd like serial console to be suspended. This drops CONFIG_DISABLE_CONSOLE_SUSPEND, and replaces it with a kernel boot parameter (no_console_suspend). By default, the serial console will be suspended along with the rest of the system; by passing 'no_console_suspend' to the kernel during boot, serial console will remain alive during suspend. For now, this is pretty serial console specific; further fixes could be applied to make this work for things like netconsole. Signed-off-by: Andres Salomon <dilinger@debian.org> Acked-by: "Rafael J.
