* personality handling: fix PER_CLEAR_ON_SETID for security reasonsJulien Tinnes2009-07-131-1/+5
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | We have found that the current PER_CLEAR_ON_SETID mask on Linux doesn't include neither ADDR_COMPAT_LAYOUT, nor MMAP_PAGE_ZERO. The current mask is READ_IMPLIES_EXEC|ADDR_NO_RANDOMIZE. We believe it is important to add MMAP_PAGE_ZERO, because by using this personality it is possible to have the first page mapped inside a process running as setuid root. This could be used in those scenarios: - Exploiting a NULL pointer dereference issue in a setuid root binary - Bypassing the mmap_min_addr restrictions of the Linux kernel: by running a setuid binary that would drop privileges before giving us control back (for instance by loading a user-supplied library), we could get the first page mapped in a process we control. By further using mremap and mprotect on this mapping, we can then completely bypass the mmap_min_addr restrictions. Less importantly, we believe ADDR_COMPAT_LAYOUT should also be added since on x86 32bits it will in practice disable most of the address space layout randomization (only the stack will remain randomized).

When enabled, the kernel panics when the kernel receives an NMI caused by an IO error. The IO error triggered NMI indicates a serious system condition, which could result in IO data corruption. Rather than contiuing, panicing and dumping might be a better choice, so one can figure out what's causing the IO error. This could be especially important to companies running IO intensive applications where corruption must be avoided, e.g. a bank's databases.

So add some quick checks in the the timer stats setup functions to avoid function calls to __timer_stats_timer_set_start_info when timer stats are disabled.

For one, it's a inefficient way to do it and requires led trigger support to be compiled in. But the real reason is that is produces a glitch on the LED. The GPIO is allocate with the LED *off*, then *later* when the trigger runs it is turned back on. If the LED was already on via the GPIO's reset default or action of the firmware, this produces a glitch where the LED goes from on to off to on. While normally this is fast enough that it wouldn't be noticeable to a human observer, there are still serious problems. One is that there may be something else on the GPIO line, like a hardware alarm or watchdog, that is fast enough to notice the glitch. Another is that the kernel may panic before the LED is turned back on, thus hanging with the LED in the wrong state. This is not just speculation, but actually happened to me with an embedded system that has an LED which should turn off when the kernel finishes booting, which was left in the incorrect state due to a bug in the OF LED binding code. We also let GPIO LEDs get their initial value from whatever the current state of the GPIO line is. On some systems the LEDs are put into some state by the firmware or hardware before Linux boots, and it is desired to have them keep this state which is otherwise unknown to Linux. This requires that the underlying GPIO driver support reading the value of output GPIOs. Some drivers support this and some do not. The platform device binding gains a field in the platform data "default_state" that controls this. There are three constants defined to select from on, off, or keeping the current state. The OpenFirmware binding uses a property named "default-state" that can be set to "on", "off", or "keep". The default if the property isn't present is off.

When struct mapped device (md) is initialized, md->queue has an I/O scheduler and the following functions are used for request-based dm as the queue functions: make_request_fn: dm_make_request() pref_fn: dm_prep_fn() request_fn: dm_request_fn() softirq_done_fn: dm_softirq_done() lld_busy_fn: dm_lld_busy() Actual initializations are done in another patch (PATCH 2). Below is a brief summary of how request-based dm behaves, including: - making request from bio - cloning, mapping and dispatching request - completing request and bio - suspending md - resuming md bio to request ============== md->queue->make_request_fn() (dm_make_request()) calls __make_request() for a bio submitted to the md. Then, the bio is kept in the queue as a new request or merged into another request in the queue if possible. Cloning and Mapping =================== Cloning and mapping are done in md->queue->request_fn() (dm_request_fn()), when requests are dispatched after they are sorted by the I/O scheduler. dm_request_fn() checks busy state of underlying devices using target's busy() function and stops dispatching requests to keep them on the dm device's queue if busy. It helps better I/O merging, since no merge is done for a request once it is dispatched to underlying devices. Actual cloning and mapping are done in dm_prep_fn() and map_request() called from dm_request_fn(). dm_prep_fn() clones not only request but also bios of the request so that dm can hold bio completion in error cases and prevent the bio submitter from noticing the error. (See the "Completion" section below for details.) After the cloning, the clone is mapped by target's map_rq() function and inserted to underlying device's queue using blk_insert_cloned_request(). Completion ========== Request completion can be hooked by rq->end_io(), but then, all bios in the request will have been completed even error cases, and the bio submitter will have noticed the error. To prevent the bio completion in error cases, request-based dm clones both bio and request and hooks both bio->bi_end_io() and rq->end_io(): bio->bi_end_io(): end_clone_bio() rq->end_io(): end_clone_request() Summary of the request completion flow is below: blk_end_request() for a clone request => blk_update_request() => bio->bi_end_io() == end_clone_bio() for each clone bio => Free the clone bio => Success: Complete the original bio (blk_update_request()) Error: Don't complete the original bio => blk_finish_request() => rq->end_io() == end_clone_request() => blk_complete_request() => dm_softirq_done() => Free the clone request => Success: Complete the original request (blk_end_request()) Error: Requeue the original request end_clone_bio() completes the original request on the size of the original bio in successful cases. Even if all bios in the original request are completed by that completion, the original request must not be completed yet to keep the ordering of request completion for the stacking. So end_clone_bio() uses blk_update_request() instead of blk_end_request(). In error cases, end_clone_bio() doesn't complete the original bio. It just frees the cloned bio and gives over the error handling to end_clone_request(). end_clone_request(), which is called with queue lock held, completes the clone request and the original request in a softirq context (dm_softirq_done()), which has no queue lock, to avoid a deadlock issue on submission of another request during the completion: - The submitted request may be mapped to the same device - Request submission requires queue lock, but the queue lock has been held by itself and it doesn't know that The clone request has no clone bio when dm_softirq_done() is called. So target drivers can't resubmit it again even error cases. Instead, they can ask dm core for requeueing and remapping the original request in that cases. suspend ======= Request-based dm uses stopping md->queue as suspend of the md. For noflush suspend, just stops md->queue. For flush suspend, inserts a marker request to the tail of md->queue. And dispatches all requests in md->queue until the marker comes to the front of md->queue. Then, stops dispatching request and waits for the all dispatched requests to complete. After that, completes the marker request, stops md->queue and wake up the waiter on the suspend queue, md->wait. resume ====== Starts md->queue.

The structures used for communication between kernel and userspace are located in include/linux/dm-log-userspace.h. Due to the frequency, diversity, and 2-way communication nature of the exchanges between kernel and userspace, 'connector' was chosen as the interface for communication. The first log implementations written in userspace - "clustered-disk" and "clustered-core" - support clustered shared storage. A userspace daemon (in the LVM2 source code repository) uses openAIS/corosync to process requests in an ordered fashion with the rest of the nodes in the cluster so as to prevent log state corruption. Other implementations with no association to LVM or openAIS/corosync, are certainly possible. (Imagine if two machines are writing to the same region of a mirror. They would both mark the region dirty, but you need a cluster-aware entity that can handle properly marking the region clean when they are done. Otherwise, you might clear the region when the first machine is done, not the second.)

When the configuration of a device is to be changed, first its table is loaded and this structure is populated, then the device is 'resumed' and the calculated queue_limits are applied. This places restrictions on how userspace may process related devices, where it is often advantageous to 'load' tables for several devices at once before 'resuming' them together. As the new queue_limits only take effect after the 'resume', if they are changing and one device uses another, the latter must be 'resumed' before the former may be 'loaded'. This patch moves the calculation of these queue_limits out of the 'load' operation into 'resume'. Since we are no longer pre-calculating this struct, we no longer need to maintain copies within our dm structs. dm_set_device_limits() now passes the 'start' of the device's data area (aka pe_start) as the 'offset' to blk_stack_limits(). init_valid_queue_limits() is replaced by blk_set_default_limits().

The (unsigned) value of this cookie is returned to userspace alongside the uevents issued by these ioctls in the variable DM_COOKIE. This means the userspace process issuing these ioctls can be notified by udev after udev has completed any actions triggered. To minimise the interface extension, we pass the cookie into the kernel in the event_nr field which is otherwise unused when calling these ioctls. Incrementing the version number allows userspace to determine in advance whether or not the kernel supports the cookie. If the kernel does support this but userspace does not, there should be no impact as the new variable will just get ignored.

When a driver sets this flag and supplies a .notify method, Linux/ACPI calls the .notify method for ALL notify events on the device, not just the device-specific (0x80-0xff) events.

Unlike "Device" definitions, "Processor" definitions do not have a _HID in the namespace, so we generate a fake _HID. By convention, all these fake _HIDs begin with "LNX". This does change the user-visible _HID for "Processor" objects -- previously, we used "ACPI_CPU" and this changes that to "LNXCPU", which starts with "LNX" as do all the other made-up _HIDs. This change is visible in processor filenames and "hid" files under /sys/devices/LNXSYSTM:00/. Signed-off-by: Bjorn Helgaas <bjorn.helgaas@hp.com> Signed-off-by: Len Brown <len.brown@intel.com>

And there exists the strict dependency between the two drivers. The acpi video bus will be unloaded in course of unloading the i915 driver. If we unload the acpi video driver, then the kernel oops will be triggered. Add the reference count to avoid unloading the ACPI video bus twice. The reference count should be checked before unregistering the acpi video bus. If the reference count is already zero, it won't unregister it again. And after the acpi video bus is already unregistered, the reference count will be set to zero. http://bugzilla.kernel.org/show_bug.cgi?id=13396 Signed-off-by: Zhao Yakui <yakui.zhao@intel.com> Acked-by: Zhang Rui <rui.zhang@intel.com> Signed-off-by: Len Brown <len.brown@intel.com>
