* KEYS: Make /proc/keys check to see if a key is possessed before security checkDavid Howells2010-08-023-23/+66
| | | | | | | | | | | | Make /proc/keys check to see if the calling process possesses each key before performing the security check. The possession check can be skipped if the key doesn't have the possessor-view permission bit set. This causes the keys a process possesses to show up in /proc/keys, even if they don't have matching user/group/other view permissions.

* KEYS: Authorise keyctl_set_timeout() on a key if we have its authorisation keyDavid Howells2010-08-021-1/+16
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Authorise a process to perform keyctl_set_timeout() on an uninstantiated key if that process has the authorisation key for it. This allows the instantiator to set the timeout on a key it is instantiating - provided it does it before instantiating the key. For instance, the test upcall script provided with the keyutils package could be modified to set the expiry to an hour hence before instantiating the key: [/usr/share/keyutils/request-key-debug.sh] if [ "$3" != "neg" ] then + keyctl timeout $1 3600 keyctl instantiate $1 "Debug $3" $4 || exit 1 else Signed-off-by: David Howells <dhowells@redhat.com> Signed-off-by: James Morris <jmorris@namei.org>
* TOMOYO: Update profile structure.Tetsuo Handa2010-08-026-248/+486
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | This patch allows users to change access control mode for per-operation basis. This feature comes from non LSM version of TOMOYO which is designed for permitting users to use SELinux and TOMOYO at the same time. SELinux does not care filename in a directory whereas TOMOYO does. Change of filename can change how the file is used. For example, renaming index.txt to .htaccess will change how the file is used. Thus, letting SELinux to enforce read()/write()/mmap() etc. restriction and letting TOMOYO to enforce rename() restriction is an example usage of this feature. What is unfortunate for me is that currently LSM does not allow users to use SELinux and LSM version of TOMOYO at the same time...

* smack: opt_dentry is never null in in smack_d_instantiate()Dan Carpenter2010-08-021-12/+2
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | This patch removes some unneeded code for if opt_dentry is null because that can never happen. The function dereferences "opt_dentry" earlier when it checks "if (opt_dentry->d_parent == opt_dentry) {". That code was added in 2008. This function called from security_d_instantiate(). I checked all the places which call security_d_instantiate() and dentry is always non-null. I also checked the selinux version of this hook and there is a comment which says that dentry should be non-null if called from d_instantiate().

* TOMOYO: Add interactive enforcing mode.Tetsuo Handa2010-08-026-120/+564
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Since the behavior of the system is restricted by policy, we may need to update policy when you update packages. We need to update policy in the following cases. * The pathname of files has changed. * The dependency of files has changed. * The access permissions required has increased. The ideal way to update policy is to rebuild from the scratch using learning mode. But it is not desirable to change from enforcing mode to other mode if the system has once entered in production state. Suppose MAC could support per-application enforcing mode, the MAC becomes useless if an application that is not running in enforcing mode was cracked. For example, the whole system becomes vulnerable if only HTTP server application is running in learning mode to rebuild policy for the application. So, in TOMOYO Linux, updating policy is done while the system is running in enforcing mode. This patch implements "interactive enforcing mode" which allows administrators to judge whether to accept policy violation in enforcing mode or not.

| * ARM: 6279/1: highmem: fix SMP preemption bug in kmap_high_l1_viptGary King2010-07-301-5/+8
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | smp_processor_id() must not be called from a preemptible context (this is checked by CONFIG_DEBUG_PREEMPT). kmap_high_l1_vipt() was doing so. This lead to a problem where the wrong per_cpu kmap_high_l1_vipt_depth could be incremented, causing a BUG_ON(*depth <= 0); in kunmap_high_l1_vipt(). The solution is to move the call to smp_processor_id() after the call to preempt_disable().

| * ARM: 6273/1: Add barriers to the I/O accessors if ARM_DMA_MEM_BUFFERABLECatalin Marinas2010-07-291-0/+11
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | When the coherent DMA buffers are mapped as Normal Non-cacheable (ARM_DMA_MEM_BUFFERABLE enabled), buffer accesses are no longer ordered with Device memory accesses causing failures in device drivers that do not use the mandatory memory barriers before starting a DMA transfer. LKML discussions led to the conclusion that such barriers have to be added to the I/O accessors: http://thread.gmane.org/gmane.linux.kernel/683509/focus=686153 http://thread.gmane.org/gmane.linux.ide/46414 http://thread.gmane.org/gmane.linux.kernel.cross-arch/5250 This patch introduces a wmb() barrier to the write*() I/O accessors to handle the situations where Normal Non-cacheable writes are still in the processor (or L2 cache controller) write buffer before a DMA transfer command is issued. For the read*() accessors, a rmb() is introduced after the I/O to avoid speculative loads where the driver polls for a DMA transfer ready bit.

I'd missed updating the gate_vma handling in __get_user_pages(): that happens to use vm_normal_page() (nowadays failing on the zero page), yet reported success even when it failed to get a page - boom when access_process_vm() tried to copy that to its intermediate buffer. Fix this, resisting cleanups: in particular, leave it for now reporting success when not asked to get any pages - very probably safe to change, but let's not risk it without testing exposure. Why did ia64 crash with 16kB pages, but succeed with 64kB pages? Because setup_gate() pads each 64kB of its gate area with zero pages.
