* [PATCH] validate rule fields' typesAl Viro2006-06-201-9/+48

* [PATCH] audit: path-based rulesAmy Griffis2006-06-206-89/+903
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | In this implementation, audit registers inotify watches on the parent directories of paths specified in audit rules. When audit's inotify event handler is called, it updates any affected rules based on the filesystem event. If the parent directory is renamed, removed, or its filesystem is unmounted, audit removes all rules referencing that inotify watch. To keep things simple, this implementation limits location-based auditing to the directory entries in an existing directory. Given a path-based rule for /foo/bar/passwd, the following table applies: passwd modified -- audit event logged passwd replaced -- audit event logged, rules list updated bar renamed -- rule removed foo renamed -- untracked, meaning that the rule now applies to the new location Audit users typically want to have many rules referencing filesystem objects, which can significantly impact filtering performance. This patch also adds an inode-number-based rule hash to mitigate this situation. The patch is relative to the audit git tree: http://kernel.org/git/?p=linux/kernel/git/viro/audit-current.git;a=summary and uses the inotify kernel API: http://lkml.org/lkml/2006/6/1/145 Signed-off-by: Amy Griffis <amy.griffis@hp.com> Signed-off-by: Al Viro <viro@zeniv.linux.org.uk>
* [PATCH] Audit of POSIX Message Queue Syscalls v.2George C. Wilson2006-06-203-1/+341
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | This patch adds audit support to POSIX message queues. It applies cleanly to the lspp.b15 branch of Al Viro's git tree. There are new auxiliary data structures, and collection and emission routines in kernel/auditsc.c. New hooks in ipc/mqueue.c collect arguments from the syscalls. I tested the patch by building the examples from the POSIX MQ library tarball. Build them -lrt, not against the old MQ library in the tarball. Here's the URL: http://www.geocities.com/wronski12/posix_ipc/libmqueue-4.41.tar.gz Do auditctl -a exit,always -S for mq_open, mq_timedsend, mq_timedreceive, mq_notify, mq_getsetattr. mq_unlink has no new hooks. Please see the corresponding userspace patch to get correct output from auditd for the new record types.

* [PATCH] update of IPC audit record cleanupLinda Knippers2006-06-205-27/+18
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | The following patch addresses most of the issues with the IPC_SET_PERM records as described in: https://www.redhat.com/archives/linux-audit/2006-May/msg00010.html and addresses the comments I received on the record field names. To summarize, I made the following changes: 1. Changed sys_msgctl() and semctl_down() so that an IPC_SET_PERM record is emitted in the failure case as well as the success case. This matches the behavior in sys_shmctl(). I could simplify the code in sys_msgctl() and semctl_down() slightly but it would mean that in some error cases we could get an IPC_SET_PERM record without an IPC record and that seemed odd. 2. No change to the IPC record type, given no feedback on the backward compatibility question. 3. Removed the qbytes field from the IPC record. It wasn't being set and when audit_ipc_obj() is called from ipcperms(), the information isn't available. If we want the information in the IPC record, more extensive changes will be necessary. Since it only applies to message queues and it isn't really permission related, it doesn't seem worth it. 4. Removed the obj field from the IPC_SET_PERM record. This means that the kern_ipc_perm argument is no longer needed. 5. Removed the spaces and renamed the IPC_SET_PERM field names. Replaced iuid and igid fields with ouid and ogid in the IPC record. I tested this with the lspp.22 kernel on an x86_64 box. I believe it applies cleanly on the latest kernel. -- ljk Signed-off-by: Linda Knippers <linda.knippers@hp.com> Signed-off-by: Al Viro <viro@zeniv.linux.org.uk>
* [PATCH] minor audit updatesSerge E. Hallyn2006-06-201-9/+10
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Just a few minor proposed updates. Only the last one will actually affect behavior. The rest are just misleading code. Several AUDIT_SET functions return 'old' value, but only return value <0 is checked for. So just return 0. propagate audit_set_rate_limit and audit_set_backlog_limit error values In audit_buffer_free, the audit_freelist_count was being incremented even when we discard the return buffer, so audit_freelist_count can end up wrong. This could cause the actual freelist to shrink over time, eventually threatening to degrate audit performance. Signed-off-by: Serge E.

| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | We should not send a pile of replies while holding audit_netlink_mutex since we hold the same mutex when we receive commands. As the result, we can get blocked while sending and sit there holding the mutex while auditctl is unable to send the next command and get around to receiving what we'd sent. Solution: create skb and put them into a queue instead of sending; once we are done, send what we've got on the list. The former can be done synchronously while we are handling AUDIT_LIST or AUDIT_LIST_RULES; we are holding audit_netlink_mutex at that point. The latter is done asynchronously and without messing with audit_netlink_mutex. Signed-off-by: Al Viro <viro@zeniv.linux.org.uk>

| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | The following series of patches introduces a kernel API for inotify, making it possible for kernel modules to benefit from inotify's mechanism for watching inodes. With these patches, inotify will maintain for each caller a list of watches (via an embedded struct inotify_watch), where each inotify_watch is associated with a corresponding struct inode. The caller registers an event handler and specifies for which filesystem events their event handler should be called per inotify_watch.

* [PATCH] arm_timer: remove a racy and obsolete PF_EXITING checkOleg Nesterov2006-06-171-3/+0
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | arm_timer() checks PF_EXITING to prevent BUG_ON(->exit_state) in run_posix_cpu_timers(). However, for some reason it does so only for CPUCLOCK_PERTHREAD case (which is imho wrong). Also, this check is not reliable, PF_EXITING could be set on another cpu without any locks/barriers just after the check, so it can't prevent from attaching the timer to the exiting task. The previous patch makes this check unneeded. Signed-off-by: Oleg Nesterov <oleg@tv-sign.ru> Signed-off-by: Linus Torvalds <torvalds@osdl.org>
* [PATCH] run_posix_cpu_timers: remove a bogus BUG_ON()Oleg Nesterov2006-06-172-26/+18
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | do_exit() clears ->it_##clock##_expires, but nothing prevents another cpu to attach the timer to exiting process after that. arm_timer() tries to protect against this race, but the check is racy. After exit_notify() does 'write_unlock_irq(&tasklist_lock)' and before do_exit() calls 'schedule() local timer interrupt can find tsk->exit_state != 0. If that state was EXIT_DEAD (or another cpu does sys_wait4) interrupted task has ->signal == NULL. At this moment exiting task has no pending cpu timers, they were cleanuped in __exit_signal()->posix_cpu_timers_exit{,_group}(), so we can just return from irq.

| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | If the local timer interrupt happens just after do_exit() sets PF_EXITING (and before it clears ->it_xxx_expires) run_posix_cpu_timers() will call check_process_timers() with tasklist_lock + ->siglock held and check_process_timers: t = tsk; do { .... do { t = next_thread(t); } while (unlikely(t->flags & PF_EXITING)); } while (t != tsk); the outer loop will never stop. Actually, the window is bigger. Another process can attach the timer after ->it_xxx_expires was cleared (see the next commit) and the 'if (PF_EXITING)' check in arm_timer() is racy (see the one after that).

* [PATCH] sky2: netconsole suspend/resume interactionStephen Hemminger2006-06-171-1/+6
| | | | | | | | | | | | | A couple of fixes that should prevent crashes when using netconsole and suspend/resume. First, netconsole poll routine shouldn't run unless the device is up; second, the NAPI poll should be disabled during suspend. This is only an issue on sky2, because it has to have one NAPI poll routine for both ports on dual port boards. Normal drivers use netif_rx_schedule_prep and that checks for netif_running.

However, if we discovered that a read write open was not possible and the open flags required a writable open, we just returned -EROFS without calling the driver's release routine. This seems to work for most cdrom drivers, but breaks the Powerpc iSeries virtual cdrom rather badly. This just inserts the release call in the error path to balance the call to "->open()" done by "open_for_data()".

* [PATCH] tmpfs: time granularity fix for [acm]time going backwardsRobin H. Johnson2006-06-121-0/+1
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | I noticed a strange behavior in a tmpfs file system the other day, while building packages - occasionally, and seemingly at random, make decided to rebuild a target. However, only on tmpfs. A file would be created, and if checked, it had a sub-second timestamp. However, after an utimes related call where sub-seconds should be set, they were zeroed instead. In the case that a file was created, and utimes(...,NULL) was used on it in the same second, the timestamp on the file moved backwards. After some digging, I found that this was being caused by tmpfs not having a time granularity set, thus inheriting the default 1 second granularity. Hugh adds: yes, we missed tmpfs when the s_time_gran mods went into 2.6.11. Unfortunately, the granularity of CURRENT_TIME, often used in filesystems, does not match the default granularity set by alloc_super. A few more such discrepancies have been found, but this is the most important to fix now. Signed-off-by: Robin H.

Fix Integrator and Versatile to use the right function, and remove these work-arounds. Signed-off-by: Russell King <rmk+kernel@arm.linux.org.uk>
| * | [ARM] 3546/1: PATCH: subtle lost interrupts bug on i.MXMatt Reimer2006-06-081-1/+1
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Patch from Matt Reimer There is a subtle bug in the GPIO interrupt status register handling in arch/arm/mach-imx/irq.c:imx_gpio_ack_irq(). The documentation states that a 1 should be written to the relevant bit to acknowledge a GPIO interrupt, but that is not what the code does. The problem is that the |= writes back 1s for all the *other* interrupts represented in the register, so interrupts could get lost. For example, if interrupts are pending for GPIO B10 and B12, ISR_B would have the value 0x00001400. Then when the interrupt code handles GPIO B10, it eventually calls imx_gpio_ack_irq(IRQ_GPIOB(10)), which effectively does this: ISR_B |= 1 << 10; with the result that (0x00001400 | 0x00000400) is written, clearing the interrupt status bits for *both* GPIO B10 and B12. The fix is to write 1s only for the interrupts we want to clear. The same problem seems to be occurring in the DMA code; this patch does not address those issues.
