| | * AppArmor: Fix masking of capabilities in complain modeJohn Johansen2011-06-28
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | AppArmor is masking the capabilities returned by capget against the capabilities mask in the profile. This is wrong, in complain mode the profile has effectively all capabilities, as the profile restrictions are not being enforced, merely tested against to determine if an access is known by the profile. This can result in the wrong behavior of security conscience applications like sshd which examine their capability set, and change their behavior accordingly. In this case because of the masked capability set being returned sshd fails due to DAC checks, even when the profile is in complain mode. Kernels affected: 2.6.36 - 3.0.

| * | TOMOYO: Make several options configurable.Tetsuo Handa2011-06-28
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | To be able to start using enforcing mode from the early stage of boot sequence, this patch adds support for activating access control without calling external policy loader program. This will be useful for systems where operations which can lead to the hijacking of the boot sequence are needed before loading the policy. For example, you can activate immediately after loading the fixed part of policy which will allow only operations needed for mounting a partition which contains the variant part of policy and verifying (e.g. running GPG check) and loading the variant part of policy. Since you can start using enforcing mode from the beginning, you can reduce the possibility of hijacking the boot sequence. This patch makes several variables configurable on build time. This patch also adds TOMOYO_loader= and TOMOYO_trigger= kernel command line option to boot the same kernel in two different init systems (BSD-style init and systemd).

| * | TOMOYO: Fix lockdep warning.Tetsuo Handa2011-06-28
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Currently TOMOYO holds SRCU lock upon open() and releases it upon close() because list elements stored in the "struct tomoyo_io_buffer" instances are accessed until close() is called. However, such SRCU usage causes lockdep to complain about leaving the kernel with SRCU lock held. This patch solves the warning by holding/releasing SRCU upon each read()/write(). This patch is doing something similar to calling kfree() without calling synchronize_srcu(), by selectively deferring kfree() by keeping track of the "struct tomoyo_io_buffer" instances.

| * | TOMOYO: Change pathname for non-rename()able filesystems.Tetsuo Handa2011-06-28
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | TOMOYO wants to use /proc/self/ rather than /proc/$PID/ if $PID matches current thread's process ID in order to prevent current thread from accessing other process's information unless needed. But since procfs can be mounted on various locations (e.g. /proc/ /proc2/ /p/ /tmp/foo/100/p/ ), TOMOYO cannot tell that whether the numeric part in the string returned by __d_path() represents process ID or not. Therefore, to be able to convert from $PID to self no matter where procfs is mounted, this patch changes pathname representations for filesystems which do not support rename() operation (e.g. proc, sysfs, securityfs). Examples: /proc/self/mounts => proc:/self/mounts /sys/kernel/security/ => sys:/kernel/security/ /dev/pts/0 => devpts:/0 Signed-off-by: Tetsuo Handa <penguin-kernel@I-love.SAKURA.ne.jp> Signed-off-by: James Morris <jmorris@namei.org>
| * | TOMOYO: Add policy namespace support.Tetsuo Handa2011-06-28
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Mauras Olivier reported that it is difficult to use TOMOYO in LXC environments, for TOMOYO cannot distinguish between environments outside the container and environments inside the container since LXC environments are created using pivot_root(). To address this problem, this patch introduces policy namespace. Each policy namespace has its own set of domain policy, exception policy and profiles, which are all independent of other namespaces. This independency allows users to develop policy without worrying interference among namespaces.

| * | encrypted-keys: add ecryptfs format supportRoberto Sassu2011-06-27
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | The 'encrypted' key type defines its own payload format which contains a symmetric key randomly generated that cannot be used directly to mount an eCryptfs filesystem, because it expects an authentication token structure. This patch introduces the new format 'ecryptfs' that allows to store an authentication token structure inside the encrypted key payload containing a randomly generated symmetric key, as the same for the format 'default'. More details about the usage of encrypted keys with the eCryptfs filesystem can be found in the file 'Documentation/keys-ecryptfs.txt'.

| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | This patch introduces a new parameter, called 'format', that defines the format of data stored by encrypted keys. The 'default' format identifies encrypted keys containing only the symmetric key, while other formats can be defined to support additional information. The 'format' parameter is written in the datablob produced by commands 'keyctl print' or 'keyctl pipe' and is integrity protected by the HMAC.

| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | For a number of file systems that don't have a mount point (e.g. sockfs and pipefs), they are not marked as long term. Therefore in mntput_no_expire, all locks in vfs_mount lock are taken instead of just local cpu's lock to aggregate reference counts when we release reference to file objects. In fact, only local lock need to have been taken to update ref counts as these file systems are in no danger of going away until we are ready to unregister them. The attached patch marks file systems using kern_mount without mount point as long term. The contentions of vfs_mount lock is now eliminated. Before un-registering such file system, kern_unmount should be called to remove the long term flag and make the mount point ready to be freed.

Fix up trivial conflicts in fs/xfs/linux-2.6/xfs_super.c due to the new shrinker callout for the inode cache, that clashed with the xfs code to start the periodic workers later.
