85e7bac33b seccomp: audit abnormal end to a process due to seccomp
The audit system likes to collect information about processes that end
abnormally (SIGSEGV) as this may me useful intrusion detection information.
This patch adds audit support to collect information when seccomp forces a
task to exit because of misbehavior in a similar way.

16c174bd95 audit: check current inode and containing object when filtering on major and minor
The audit system has the ability to filter on the major and minor number of
the device containing the inode being operated upon.  Lets say that
/dev/sda1 has major,minor 8,1 and that we mount /dev/sda1 on /boot.  Now lets
say we add a watch with a filter on 8,1.  If we proceed to open an inode
inside /boot, such as /vboot/vmlinuz, we will match the major,minor filter.

Lets instead assume that one were to use a tool like debugfs and were to
open /dev/sda1 directly and to modify it's contents.  We might hope that
this would also be logged, but it isn't.  The rules will check the
major,minor of the device containing /dev/sda1.  In other words the rule
would match on the major/minor of the tmpfs mounted at /dev.

I believe these rules should trigger on either device.  The man page is
devoid of useful information about the intended semantics.  It only seems
logical that if you want to know everything that happened on a major,minor
that would include things that happened to the device itself...

3035c51e8a audit: drop the meaningless and format breaking word 'user'
userspace audit messages look like so:

type=USER msg=audit(1271170549.415:24710): user pid=14722 uid=0 auid=500 ses=1 subj=unconfined_u:unconfined_r:auditctl_t:s0-s0:c0.c1023 msg=''

That third field just says 'user'.  That's useless and doesn't follow the
key=value pair we are trying to enforce.  We already know it came from the
user based on the record type.  Kill that word.  Die.

5195d8e217 audit: dynamically allocate audit_names when not enough space is in the names array
This patch does 2 things.  First it reduces the number of audit_names
allocated in every audit context from 20 to 5.  5 should be enough for all
'normal' syscalls (rename being the worst).  Some syscalls can still touch
more the 5 inodes such as mount.  When rpc filesystem is mounted it will
create inodes and those can exceed 5.  To handle that problem this patch will
dynamically allocate audit_names if it needs more than 5.  This should
decrease the typicall memory usage while still supporting all the possible
kernel operations.

5ef30ee53b audit: make filetype matching consistent with other filters
Every other filter that matches part of the inodes list collected by audit
will match against any of the inodes on that list.  The filetype matching
however had a strange way of doing things.  It allowed userspace to
indicated if it should match on the first of the second name collected by
the kernel.  Name collection ordering seems like a kernel internal and
making userspace rules get that right just seems like a bad idea.  As it
turns out the userspace audit writers had no idea it was doing this and
thus never overloaded the value field.  The kernel always checked the first
name collected which for the tested rules was always correct.

This patch just makes the filetype matching like the major, minor, inode,
and LSM rules in that it will match against any of the names collected.  It
also changes the rule validation to reject the old unused rule types.

Noone knew it was there.  Noone used it.  Why keep around the extra code?

951880e634 Revert "capabitlies: ns_capable can use the cap helpers rather than lsm call"
This reverts commit d2a7009f0b.

J. R. Okajima explains:

 "After this commit, I am afraid access(2) on NFS may not work
  correctly.  The scenario based upon my guess.
   - access(2) overrides the credentials.
   - calls inode_permission() -- ... -- generic_permission() --
      ns_capable().
   - while the old ns_capable() calls security_capable(current_cred()),
     the new ns_capable() calls has_ns_capability(current) --
     security_capable(__task_cred(t)).

  current_cred() returns current->cred which is effective (overridden)
  credentials, but __task_cred(current) returns current->real_cred (the
  NFSD's credential).  And the overridden credentials by access(2) lost."

4410030646 rcu: Add missing __cpuinit annotation in rcutorture code
"rcu: Add rcutorture CPU-hotplug capability" adds cpu hotplug operations
to the rcutorture code but produces a false positive warning about section
mismatches:

WARNING: vmlinux.o(.text+0x1e420c): Section mismatch in reference from the
	 function rcu_torture_onoff() to the function .cpuinit.text:cpu_up()
	 The function rcu_torture_onoff() references
	 the function __cpuinit cpu_up().
	 This is often because rcu_torture_onoff lacks a __cpuinit
	 annotation or the annotation of cpu_up is wrong.

This commit therefore adds a __cpuinit annotation so the warning goes away.

c10076c430 tracepoints/module: Fix disabling tracepoints with taint CRAP or OOT
Tracepoints are disabled for tainted modules, which is usually because the
module is either proprietary or was forced, and we don't want either of them
using kernel tracepoints.

But, a module can also be tainted by being in the staging directory or
compiled out of tree. Either is fine for use with tracepoints, no need
to punish them.  I found this out when I noticed that my sample trace event
module, when done out of tree, stopped working.

028ee4be34 c/r: prctl: add PR_SET_MM codes to set up mm_struct entries
When we restore a task we need to set up text, data and data heap sizes
from userspace to the values a task had at checkpoint time.  This patch
adds auxilary prctl codes for that.

While most of them have a statistical nature (their values are involved
into calculation of /proc/<pid>/statm output) the start_brk and brk values
are used to compute an allowed size of program data segment expansion.
Which means an arbitrary changes of this values might be dangerous
operation.  So to restrict access the following requirements applied to
prctl calls:

 - The process has to have CAP_SYS_ADMIN capability granted.
 - For all opcodes except start_brk/brk members an appropriate
   VMA area must exist and should fit certain VMA flags,
   such as:
   - code segment must be executable but not writable;
   - data segment must not be executable.

start_brk/brk values must not intersect with data segment and must not
exceed RLIMIT_DATA resource limit.

Still the main guard is CAP_SYS_ADMIN capability check.

Note the kernel should be compiled with CONFIG_CHECKPOINT_RESTORE support
otherwise these prctl calls will return -EINVAL.

Writing is allowed for CAP_SYS_ADMIN-capable tasks thus making it possible

93e13a360b kdump: fix crash_kexec()/smp_send_stop() race in panic()
When two CPUs call panic at the same time there is a possible race
condition that can stop kdump.  The first CPU calls crash_kexec() and the
second CPU calls smp_send_stop() in panic() before crash_kexec() finished
on the first CPU.  So the second CPU stops the first CPU and therefore
kdump fails:

1st CPU:
  panic()->crash_kexec()->mutex_trylock(&kexec_mutex)-> do kdump

2nd CPU:
  panic()->crash_kexec()->kexec_mutex already held by 1st CPU
       ->smp_send_stop()-> stop 1st CPU (stop kdump)

This patch fixes the problem by introducing a spinlock in panic that
allows only one CPU to process crash_kexec() and the subsequent panic
code.

All other CPUs call the weak function panic_smp_self_stop() that stops the
CPU itself.  This function can be overloaded by architecture code.  For
example "tile" can use their lower-power "nap" instruction for that.

bec013c40b kdump: crashk_res init check for /sys/kernel/kexec_crash_size
Currently it is possible to set the crash_size via the sysfs
/sys/kernel/kexec_crash_size even if no crash kernel memory has been
defined with the "crashkernel" parameter.  In this case "crashk_res" is
not initialized and crashk_res.start = crashk_res.end = 0.  Unfortunately
resource_size(&crashk_res) returns 1 in this case.  This breaks the s390
implementation of crash_(un)map_reserved_pages().

To fix the problem the correct "old_size" is now calculated in
crash_shrink_memory().  "old_size is set to "0" if crashk_res is not
initialized.  With this change crash_shrink_memory() will do nothing, when
"crashk_res" is not initialized.  It will return "0" for "echo 0 >
/sys/kernel/kexec_crash_size" and -EINVAL for "echo [not zero] >
/sys/kernel/kexec_crash_size".

In addition to that this patch also simplifies the "ret = -EINVAL" vs.
"ret = 0" logic as suggested by Simon Horman.

One result of this bug is that the memory chunk can never be set offline
using memory hotplug.  With this patch I insert a new "System RAM"
resource for the released memory.  Then the upper example looks like the
following:

  $ echo 0 > /sys/kernel/kexec_crash_size
  $ cat /proc/iomem
  00000000-bfffffff : System RAM
    00000000-005b7ac3 : Kernel code

  c0000000-cfffffff : System RAM   <<-- new rescoure
  d0000000-ffffffff : System RAM

And now I can set chunk c0000000-cfffffff offline.

69116f279a module_param: avoid bool abuse, add bint for special cases.
For historical reasons, we allow module_param(bool) to take an int (or
an unsigned int).  That's going away.

A few drivers really want an int: they set it to -1 and a parameter
will set it to 0 or 1.  This sucks: reading them from sysfs will give
'Y' for both -1 and 1, but if we change it to an int, then the users
might be broken (if they did "param" instead of "param=1").

Use a new 'bint' parser for them.

(ntfs has a different problem: it needs an int for debug_msgs because
it's also exposed via sysctl.)

Recent tools do not want to use /proc to retrieve module information. A few
values are currently missing from sysfs to replace the information available
in /proc/modules.

This adds /sys/module/*/{coresize,initsize,taint} attributes.

TAINT_PROPRIETARY_MODULE (P) and TAINT_OOT_MODULE (O) flags are both always
shown now, and do no longer exclude each other, also in /proc/modules.

Replace the open-coded sysfs attribute initializers with the __ATTR() macro.

Add the new attributes to Documentation/ABI.

48fd11880b module: Fix performance regression on modules with large symbol tables
Looking at /proc/kallsyms, one starts to ponder whether all of the extra
strtab-related complexity in module.c is worth the memory savings.

Instead of making the add_kallsyms() loop even more complex, I tried the
other route of deleting the strmap logic and naively copying each string
into core_strtab with no consideration for consolidating duplicates.

Performance on an "already exists" insmod of nvidia.ko (runs
add_kallsyms() but does not actually initialize the module):

	Original scheme: 1.230s
	With naive copying: 0.058s

Extra space used: 35k (of a 408k module).

bced76aeac sched: Fix lockup by limiting load-balance retries on lock-break
Eric and David reported dead machines and traced it to commit
a195f004 ("sched: Fix load-balance lock-breaking"), it turns out
there's still a scenario where we can end up re-trying forever.

Since there is no strict forward progress guarantee in the
load-balance iteration we can get stuck re-retrying the same
task-set over and over.

Creating a forward progress guarantee with the existing
structure is somewhat non-trivial, for now simply terminate the
retry loop after a few tries.

6b550f9495 user namespace: make signal.c respect user namespaces
ipc/mqueue.c: for __SI_MESQ, convert the uid being sent to recipient's
user namespace. (new, thanks Oleg)

__send_signal: convert current's uid to the recipient's user namespace
for any siginfo which is not SI_FROMKERNEL (patch from Oleg, thanks
again :)

do_notify_parent and do_notify_parent_cldstop: map task's uid to parent's
user namespace

ptrace_signal maps parent's uid into current's user namespace before
including in signal to current.  IIUC Oleg has argued that this shouldn't
matter as the debugger will play with it, but it seems like not converting
the value currently being set is misleading.

Changelog:
Sep 20: Inspired by Oleg's suggestion, define map_cred_ns() helper to
	simplify callers and help make clear what we are translating
        (which uid into which namespace).  Passing the target task would
	make callers even easier to read, but we pass in user_ns because
	current_user_ns() != task_cred_xxx(current, user_ns).
Sep 20: As recommended by Oleg, also put task_pid_vnr() under rcu_read_lock
	in ptrace_signal().
Sep 23: In send_signal(), detect when (user) signal is coming from an
	ancestor or unrelated user namespace.  Pass that on to __send_signal,
	which sets si_uid to 0 or overflowuid if needed.
Oct 12: Base on Oleg's fixup_uid() patch.  On top of that, handle all
	SI_FROMKERNEL cases at callers, because we can't assume sender is
	current in those cases.
Nov 10: (mhelsley) rename fixup_uid to more meaningful usern_fixup_signal_uid

b196be89cd workqueue: make alloc_workqueue() take printf fmt and args for name
alloc_workqueue() currently expects the passed in @name pointer to remain
accessible.  This is inconvenient and a bit silly given that the whole wq
is being dynamically allocated.  This patch updates alloc_workqueue() and
friends to take printf format string instead of opaque string and matching
varargs at the end.  The name is allocated together with the wq and
formatted.

alloc_ordered_workqueue() is converted to a macro to unify varargs
handling with alloc_workqueue(), and, while at it, add comment to
alloc_workqueue().

None of the current in-kernel users pass in string with '%' as constant
name and this change shouldn't cause any problem.

43d2b11324 tracepoint: add tracepoints for debugging oom_score_adj
oom_score_adj is used for guarding processes from OOM-Killer.  One of
problem is that it's inherited at fork().  When a daemon set oom_score_adj
and make children, it's hard to know where the value is set.

This patch adds some tracepoints useful for debugging. This patch adds
3 trace points.
  - creating new task
  - renaming a task (exec)
  - set oom_score_adj

To debug, users need to enable some trace pointer. Maybe filtering is useful as

# EVENT=/sys/kernel/debug/tracing/events/task/
# echo "oom_score_adj != 0" > $EVENT/task_newtask/filter
# echo "oom_score_adj != 0" > $EVENT/task_rename/filter
# echo 1 > $EVENT/enable
# EVENT=/sys/kernel/debug/tracing/events/oom/
# echo 1 > $EVENT/enable

output will be like this.
# grep oom /sys/kernel/debug/tracing/trace
bash-7699  [007] d..3  5140.744510: oom_score_adj_update: pid=7699 comm=bash oom_score_adj=-1000

When debugging with CONFIG_DEBUG_PAGEALLOC and debug_guardpage_minorder >
0, we have lot of free pages that are not marked so.  Snapshot code
account them as savable, what cause hibernate memory preallocation

It is pretty hard to make hibernate allocation succeed with

a0e86bd425 audit: always follow va_copy() with va_end()
A call to va_copy() should always be followed by a call to va_end() in
the same function.  In kernel/autit.c::audit_log_vformat() this is not
always done.  This patch makes sure va_end() is always called.

and it fixes the build error in the arch/x86/kernel/microcode_core.c

fd77846152 security: remove the security_netlink_recv hook as it is equivalent to capable()
Once upon a time netlink was not sync and we had to get the effective
capabilities from the skb that was being received.  Today we instead get
the capabilities from the current task.  This has rendered the entire
purpose of the hook moot as it is now functionally equivalent to the
capable() call.

69f594a389 ptrace: do not audit capability check when outputing /proc/pid/stat
Reading /proc/pid/stat of another process checks if one has ptrace permissions
on that process.  If one does have permissions it outputs some data about the
process which might have security and attack implications.  If the current
task does not have ptrace permissions the read still works, but those fields
are filled with inocuous (0) values.  Since this check and a subsequent denial
is not a violation of the security policy we should not audit such denials.

This can be quite useful to removing ptrace broadly across a system without
flooding the logs when ps is run or something which harmlessly walks proc.

f1c84dae0e capabilities: remove task_ns_* functions
task_ in the front of a function, in the security subsystem anyway, means
to me at least, that we are operating with that task as the subject of the
security decision.  In this case what it means is that we are using current as
the subject but we use the task to get the right namespace.  Who in the world
would ever realize that's what task_ns_capability means just by the name?  This
patch eliminates the task_ns functions entirely and uses the has_ns_capability
function instead.  This means we explicitly open code the ns in question in
the caller.  I think it makes the caller a LOT more clear what is going on.

Declare the more specific has_ns_capability first in the code and then call it

they are both declared in header files, but it just makes sense to put more

b7e724d303 capabilities: reverse arguments to security_capable
security_capable takes ns, cred, cap.  But the LSM capable() hook takes
cred, ns, cap.  The capability helper functions also take cred, ns, cap.
Rather than flip argument order just to flip it back, leave them alone.
Heck, this should be a little faster since argument will be in the right
place!

0d19ea8665 cgroup: fix to allow mounting a hierarchy by name
If we mount a hierarchy with a specified name, the name is unique,
and we can use it to mount the hierarchy without specifying its
set of subsystem names. This feature is documented is
Documentation/cgroups/cgroups.txt section 2.3

Here's an example:

	# mount -t cgroup -o cpuset,name=myhier xxx /cgroup1
	# mount -t cgroup -o name=myhier xxx /cgroup2

But it was broken by commit 32a8cf235e
(cgroup: make the mount options parsing more accurate)

This fixes the regression.

8a88951b58 ptrace: ensure JOBCTL_STOP_SIGMASK is not zero after detach
This is the temporary simple fix for 3.2, we need more changes in this
area.

1. do_signal_stop() assumes that the running untraced thread in the
   stopped thread group is not possible. This was our goal but it is
   not yet achieved: a stopped-but-resumed tracee can clone the running
   thread which can initiate another group-stop.

   Remove WARN_ON_ONCE(!current->ptrace).

2. A new thread always starts with ->jobctl = 0. If it is auto-attached
   and this group is stopped, __ptrace_unlink() sets JOBCTL_STOP_PENDING
   but JOBCTL_STOP_SIGMASK part is zero, this triggers WANR_ON(!signr)
   in do_jobctl_trap() if another debugger attaches.

   Change __ptrace_unlink() to set the artificial SIGSTOP for report.

   Alternatively we could change ptrace_init_task() to copy signr from
   current, but this means we can copy it for no reason and hide the
   possible similar problems.

50b8d25748 ptrace: partially fix the do_wait(WEXITED) vs EXIT_DEAD->EXIT_ZOMBIE race
Test-case:

	int main(void)
	{
		int pid, status;

		pid = fork();
		if (!pid) {
			for (;;) {
				if (!fork())
					return 0;
				if (waitpid(-1, &status, 0) < 0) {
					printf("ERR!! wait: %m\n");
					return 0;
				}
			}
		}

		assert(ptrace(PTRACE_ATTACH, pid, 0,0) == 0);
		assert(waitpid(-1, NULL, 0) == pid);

		assert(ptrace(PTRACE_SETOPTIONS, pid, 0,
					PTRACE_O_TRACEFORK) == 0);

		do {
			ptrace(PTRACE_CONT, pid, 0, 0);
			pid = waitpid(-1, NULL, 0);
		} while (pid > 0);

		return 1;
	}

It fails because ->real_parent sees its child in EXIT_DEAD state
while the tracer is going to change the state back to EXIT_ZOMBIE
in wait_task_zombie().

The offending commit is 823b018e which moved the EXIT_DEAD check,
but in fact we should not blame it. The original code was not
correct as well because it didn't take ptrace_reparented() into
account and because we can't really trust ->ptrace.

This patch adds the additional check to close this particular
race but it doesn't solve the whole problem. We simply can't
rely on ->ptrace in this case, it can be cleared if the tracer
is multithreaded by the exiting ->parent.

I think we should kill EXIT_DEAD altogether, we should always
remove the soon-to-be-reaped child from ->children or at least
we should never do the DEAD->ZOMBIE transition. But this is too
complex for 3.2.

Removed a rather large comment from invalidate_bdev, as it looked a bit

e6780f7243 futex: Fix uninterruptible loop due to gate_area
It was found (by Sasha) that if you use a futex located in the gate
area we get stuck in an uninterruptible infinite loop, much like the
ZERO_PAGE issue.

While looking at this problem, PeterZ realized you'll get into similar
trouble when hitting any install_special_pages() mapping.  And are there
still drivers setting up their own special mmaps without page->mapping,
and without special VM or pte flags to make get_user_pages fail?

In most cases, if page->mapping is NULL, we do not need to retry at all:
Linus points out that even /proc/sys/vm/drop_caches poses no problem,
because it ends up using remove_mapping(), which takes care not to
interfere when the page reference count is raised.

But there is still one case which does need a retry: if memory pressure
called shmem_writepage in between get_user_pages_fast dropping page
table lock and our acquiring page lock, then the page gets switched from
filecache to swapcache (and ->mapping set to NULL) whatever the refcount.
Fault it back in to get the page->mapping needed for key->shared.inode.
