* mm: Remove slab destructors from kmem_cache_create().Paul Mundt2007-07-19
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | Slab destructors were no longer supported after Christoph's c59def9f222d44bb7e2f0a559f2906191a0862d7 change. They've been BUGs for both slab and slub, and slob never supported them either. This rips out support for the dtor pointer from kmem_cache_create() completely and fixes up every single callsite in the kernel (there were about 224, not including the slab allocator definitions themselves, or the documentation references).

| * SELinux: enable dynamic activation/deactivation of NetLabel/SELinux enforcementPaul Moore2007-07-19
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Create a new NetLabel KAPI interface, netlbl_enabled(), which reports on the current runtime status of NetLabel based on the existing configuration. LSMs that make use of NetLabel, i.e. SELinux, can use this new function to determine if they should perform NetLabel access checks. This patch changes the NetLabel/SELinux glue code such that SELinux only enforces NetLabel related access checks when netlbl_enabled() returns true. At present NetLabel is considered to be enabled when there is at least one labeled protocol configuration present. The result is that by default NetLabel is considered to be disabled, however, as soon as an administrator configured a CIPSO DOI definition NetLabel is enabled and SELinux starts enforcing NetLabel related access controls - including unlabeled packet controls. This patch also tries to consolidate the multiple "#ifdef CONFIG_NETLABEL" blocks into a single block to ease future review as recommended by Linus.

* Introduce is_owner_or_cap() to wrap CAP_FOWNER use with fsuid checkSatyam Sharma2007-07-17
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Introduce is_owner_or_cap() macro in fs.h, and convert over relevant users to it. This is done because we want to avoid bugs in the future where we check for only effective fsuid of the current task against a file's owning uid, without simultaneously checking for CAP_FOWNER as well, thus violating its semantics. [ XFS uses special macros and structures, and in general looked ... untouchable, so we leave it alone -- but it has been looked over. ] The (current->fsuid != inode->i_uid) check in generic_permission() and exec_permission_lite() is left alone, because those operations are covered by CAP_DAC_OVERRIDE and CAP_DAC_READ_SEARCH. Similarly operations falling under the purview of CAP_CHOWN and CAP_LEASE are also left alone.

* Audit: add TTY input auditingMiloslav Trmac2007-07-16
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Add TTY input auditing, used to audit system administrator's actions. This is required by various security standards such as DCID 6/3 and PCI to provide non-repudiation of administrator's actions and to allow a review of past actions if the administrator seems to overstep their duties or if the system becomes misconfigured for unknown reasons. These requirements do not make it necessary to audit TTY output as well. Compared to an user-space keylogger, this approach records TTY input using the audit subsystem, correlated with other audit events, and it is completely transparent to the user-space application (e.g. the console ioctls still work). TTY input auditing works on a higher level than auditing all system calls within the session, which would produce an overwhelming amount of mostly useless audit events. Add an "audit_tty" attribute, inherited across fork (). Data read from TTYs by process with the attribute is sent to the audit subsystem by the kernel. The audit netlink interface is extended to allow modifying the audit_tty attribute, and to allow sending explanatory audit events from user-space (for example, a shell might send an event containing the final command, after the interactive command-line editing and history expansion is performed, which might be difficult to decipher from the TTY input alone). Because the "audit_tty" attribute is inherited across fork (), it would be set e.g. for sshd restarted within an audited session. To prevent this, the audit_tty attribute is cleared when a process with no open TTY file descriptors (e.g. after daemon startup) opens a TTY. See https://www.redhat.com/archives/linux-audit/2007-June/msg00000.html for a more detailed rationale document for an older version of this patch.

* security: Protection for exploiting null dereference using mmapEric Paris2007-07-11
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Add a new security check on mmap operations to see if the user is attempting to mmap to low area of the address space. The amount of space protected is indicated by the new proc tunable /proc/sys/vm/mmap_min_addr and defaults to 0, preserving existing behavior. This patch uses a new SELinux security class "memprotect." Policy already contains a number of allow rules like a_t self:process * (unconfined_t being one of them) which mean that putting this check in the process class (its best current fit) would make it useless as all user processes, which we also want to protect against, would be allowed. By taking the memprotect name of the new class it will also make it possible for us to move some of the other memory protect permissions out of 'process' and into the new class next time we bump the policy version number (which I also think is a good future idea) Acked-by: Stephen Smalley <sds@tycho.nsa.gov> Acked-by: Chris Wright <chrisw@sous-sol.org> Signed-off-by: Eric Paris <eparis@redhat.com> Signed-off-by: James Morris <jmorris@namei.org>

* SELinux: allow preemption between transition permission checksStephen Smalley2007-07-11
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | In security_get_user_sids, move the transition permission checks outside of the section holding the policy rdlock, and use the AVC to perform the checks, calling cond_resched after each one. These changes should allow preemption between the individual checks and enable caching of the results. It may however increase the overall time spent in the function in some cases, particularly in the cache miss case. The long term fix will be to take much of this logic to userspace by exporting additional state via selinuxfs, and ultimately deprecating and eliminating this interface from the kernel.

* selinux: introduce schedule points in policydb_destroy()Eric Paris2007-07-11
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | During the LSPP testing we found that it was possible for policydb_destroy() to take 10+ seconds of kernel time to complete. Basically all policydb_destroy() does is walk some (possibly long) lists and free the memory it finds. Turning off slab debugging config options made the problem go away since the actual functions which took most of the time were (as seen by oprofile) > 121202 23.9879 .check_poison_obj > 78247 15.4864 .check_slabp were caused by that. So I decided to also add some voluntary schedule points in that code so config voluntary preempt would be enough to solve the problem. Something similar was done in places like shmem_free_pages() when we have to walk a list of memory and free it. This was tested by the LSPP group on the hardware which could reproduce the problem just loading a new policy and was found to not trigger the softlock detector. It takes just as much processing time, but the kernel doesn't spend all that time stuck doing one thing and never scheduling. Someday a better way to handle memory might make the time needed in this function a lot less, but this fixes the current issue as it stands today.

* [NetLabel]: consolidate the struct socket/sock handling to just struct sockPaul Moore2007-06-08
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | The current NetLabel code has some redundant APIs which allow both "struct socket" and "struct sock" types to be used; this may have made sense at some point but it is wasteful now. Remove the functions that operate on sockets and convert the callers. Not only does this make the code smaller and more consistent but it pushes the locking burden up to the caller which can be more intelligent about the locks. Also, perform the same conversion (socket to sock) on the SELinux/NetLabel glue code where it make sense.

* tty: introduce no_tty and use it in selinuxEric W. Biederman2007-05-08
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | While researching the tty layer pid leaks I found a weird case in selinux when we drop a controlling tty because of inadequate permissions we don't do the normal hangup processing. Which is a problem if it happens the session leader has exec'd something that can no longer access the tty. We already have code in the kernel to handle this case in the form of the TIOCNOTTY ioctl. So this patch factors out a helper function that is the essence of that ioctl and calls it from the selinux code. This removes the inconsistency in handling dropping of a controlling tty and who knows it might even make some part of user space happy because it received a SIGHUP it was expecting. In addition since this removes the last user of proc_set_tty outside of tty_io.c proc_set_tty is made static and removed from tty.h Signed-off-by: Eric W.

* Reassign printk levels in selinux kernel codeEric Paris2007-02-26
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Below is a patch which demotes many printk lines to KERN_DEBUG from KERN_INFO. It should help stop the spamming of logs with messages in which users are not interested nor is there any action that users should take. It also promotes some KERN_INFO to KERN_ERR such as when there are improper attempts to register/unregister security modules. A similar patch was discussed a while back on list: http://marc.theaimsgroup.com/?t=116656343500003&r=1&w=2 This patch addresses almost all of the issues raised. I believe the only advice not taken was in the demoting of messages related to undefined permissions and classes.

* [PATCH] selinux: enhance selinux to always ignore private inodesStephen Smalley2007-02-14
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Hmmm...turns out to not be quite enough, as the /proc/sys inodes aren't truly private to the fs, so we can run into them in a variety of security hooks beyond just the inode hooks, such as security_file_permission (when reading and writing them via the vfs helpers), security_sb_mount (when mounting other filesystems on directories in proc like binfmt_misc), and deeper within the security module itself (as in flush_unauthorized_files upon inheritance across execve). So I think we have to add an IS_PRIVATE() guard within SELinux, as below. Note however that the use of the private flag here could be confusing, as these inodes are _not_ private to the fs, are exposed to userspace, and security modules must implement the sysctl hook to get any access control over them.

* [PATCH] remove many unneeded #includes of sched.hTim Schmielau2007-02-14
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | After Al Viro (finally) succeeded in removing the sched.h #include in module.h recently, it makes sense again to remove other superfluous sched.h includes. There are quite a lot of files which include it but don't actually need anything defined in there. Presumably these includes were once needed for macros that used to live in sched.h, but moved to other header files in the course of cleaning it up. To ease the pain, this time I did not fiddle with any header files and only removed #includes from .c-files, which tend to cause less trouble. Compile tested against 2.6.20-rc2 and 2.6.20-rc2-mm2 (with offsets) on alpha, arm, i386, ia64, mips, powerpc, and x86_64 with allnoconfig, defconfig, allmodconfig, and allyesconfig as well as a few randconfigs on x86_64 and all configs in arch/arm/configs on arm. I also checked that no new warnings were introduced by the patch (actually, some warnings are removed that were emitted by unnecessarily included header files).

* [PATCH] mark struct file_operations const 9Arjan van de Ven2007-02-12
| | | | | | | | | | | Many struct file_operations in the kernel can be "const". Marking them const moves these to the .rodata section, which avoids false sharing with potential dirty data.

* [PATCH] Keys: Fix key serial number collision handlingDavid Howells2007-02-06
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Fix the key serial number collision avoidance code in key_alloc_serial(). This didn't use to be so much of a problem as the key serial numbers were allocated from a simple incremental counter, and it would have to go through two billion keys before it could possibly encounter a collision. However, now that random numbers are used instead, collisions are much more likely. This is fixed by finding a hole in the rbtree where the next unused serial number ought to be and using that by going almost back to the top of the insertion routine and redoing the insertion with the new serial number rather than trying to be clever and attempting to work out the insertion point pointer directly. This fixes kernel BZ #7727. Signed-off-by: David Howells <dhowells@redhat.com> Signed-off-by: Linus Torvalds <torvalds@linux-foundation.org>
