Commit 2aede851dd
PM / Hibernate: Freeze kernel threads after preallocating memory
introduced a mechanism by which kernel threads were frozen after
the preallocation of hibernate image memory to avoid problems with
frozen kernel threads not responding to memory freeing requests.
However, it overlooked the s2disk code path in which the
SNAPSHOT_CREATE_IMAGE ioctl was run directly after SNAPSHOT_FREE,
which caused freeze_workqueues_begin() to BUG(), because it saw
that worqueues had been already frozen.
Although in principle this issue might be addressed by removing
the relevant BUG_ON() from freeze_workqueues_begin(), that would
reintroduce the very problem that commit 2aede851dd
attempted to avoid into that particular code path. For this reason,
to fix the issue at hand, introduce thaw_kernel_threads() and make
the SNAPSHOT_FREE ioctl execute it.
Special thanks to Srivatsa S. Bhat for detailed analysis of the
problem.

There is a case in __sk_mem_schedule(), where an allocation
is beyond the maximum, but yet we are allowed to proceed.
It happens under the following condition:
sk->sk_wmem_queued + size >= sk->sk_sndbuf
The network code won't revert the allocation in this case,
meaning that at some point later it'll try to do it. Since
this is never communicated to the underlying res_counter
code, there is an inbalance in res_counter uncharge operation.
I see two ways of fixing this:
1) storing the information about those allocations somewhere
in memcg, and then deducting from that first, before
we start draining the res_counter,
2) providing a slightly different allocation function for
the res_counter, that matches the original behavior of
the network code more closely.
I decided to go for #2 here, believing it to be more elegant,
since #1 would require us to do basically that, but in a more
obscure way.

At the moment we allow tasks to set their loginuid if they have
CAP_AUDIT_CONTROL. In reality we want tasks to set the loginuid when they
log in and it be impossible to ever reset. We had to make it mutable even
after it was once set (with the CAP) because on update and admin might have
to restart sshd. Now sshd would get his loginuid and the next user which
logged in using ssh would not be able to set his loginuid.
Systemd has changed how userspace works and allowed us to make the kernel
work the way it should. With systemd users (even admins) are not supposed
to restart services directly. The system will restart the service for
them. Thus since systemd is going to loginuid==-1, sshd would get -1, and
sshd would be allowed to set a new loginuid without special permissions.
If an admin in this system were to manually start an sshd he is inserting
himself into the system chain of trust and thus, logically, it's his
loginuid that should be used! Since we have old systems I make this a
Kconfig option.

Audit entry,always rules are not allowed and are automatically changed in
exit,always rules in userspace. The kernel refuses to load such rules.
Thus a task in the middle of a syscall (and thus in audit_finish_fork())
can only be in one of two states: AUDIT_BUILD_CONTEXT or AUDIT_DISABLED.
Since the current task cannot be in AUDIT_RECORD_CONTEXT we aren't every
going to actually use the code in audit_finish_fork() since it will
return without doing anything. Thus drop the code.

Every arch calls:
if (unlikely(current->audit_context))
audit_syscall_entry()
which requires knowledge about audit (the existance of audit_context) in
the arch code. Just do it all in static inline in audit.h so that arch's
can remain blissfully ignorant.
Signed-off-by: Eric Paris <eparis@redhat.com>
The audit system previously expected arches calling to audit_syscall_exit to
supply as arguments if the syscall was a success and what the return code was.
Audit also provides a helper AUDITSC_RESULT which was supposed to simplify things
by converting from negative retcodes to an audit internal magic value stating
success or failure. This helper was wrong and could indicate that a valid
pointer returned to userspace was a failed syscall. The fix is to fix the
layering foolishness. We now pass audit_syscall_exit a struct pt_reg and it
in turns calls back into arch code to collect the return value and to
determine if the syscall was a success or failure. We also define a generic
is_syscall_success() macro which determines success/failure based on if the
value is < -MAX_ERRNO. This works for arches like x86 which do not use a
separate mechanism to indicate syscall failure.
We make both the is_syscall_success() and regs_return_value() static inlines
instead of macros. The reason is because the audit function must take a void*
for the regs. (uml calls theirs struct uml_pt_regs instead of just struct
pt_regs so audit_syscall_exit can't take a struct pt_regs). Since the audit
function takes a void* we need to use static inlines to cast it back to the
arch correct structure to dereference it.
The other major change is that on some arches, like ia64, MIPS and ppc, we
change regs_return_value() to give us the negative value on syscall failure.
THE only other user of this macro, kretprobe_example.c, won't notice and it
makes the value signed consistently for the audit functions across all archs.
In arch/sh/kernel/ptrace_64.c I see that we were using regs[9] in the old
audit code as the return value. But the ptrace_64.h code defined the macro
regs_return_value() as regs[3]. I have no idea which one is correct, but this
patch now uses the regs_return_value() function, so it now uses regs[3].
For powerpc we previously used regs->result but now use the
regs_return_value() function which uses regs->gprs[3]. regs->gprs[3] is
always positive so the regs_return_value(), much like ia64 makes it negative
before calling the audit code when appropriate.

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...

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.

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?

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

"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.

module_param(bool) used to counter-intuitively take an int. In
fddd5201 (mid-2009) we allowed bool or int/unsigned int using a messy
trick.
It's time to remove the int/unsigned int option. For this version
it'll simply give a warning, but it'll break next kernel version.
This commit makes this change to rcutorture.

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.

Recent changes to kernel/module.c caused the following compile
error:
kernel/module.c: In function ‘show_taint’:
kernel/module.c:1024:2: error: implicit declaration of function ‘module_flags_taint’ [-Werror=implicit-function-declaration]
cc1: some warnings being treated as errors
Correct this error by moving the definition of module_flags_taint
outside of the #ifdef CONFIG_MODULE_UNLOAD section.
