We wish to be able to audit when a uid=500 task accesses a file which is
uid=0. Or vice versa. This patch introduces a new audit filter type
AUDIT_FIELD_COMPARE which takes as an 'enum' which indicates which fields
should be compared. At this point we only define the task->uid vs
inode->uid, but other comparisons can be added.

This patch provides functionality to audit system call events on the
ARM platform. The implementation was based off the structure of the
MIPS platform and information in this
(http://lists.fedoraproject.org/pipermail/arm/2009-October/000382.html)
mailing list thread. The required audit_syscall_exit and
audit_syscall_entry checks were added to ptrace using the standard
registers for system call values (r0 through r3). A thread information
flag was added for auditing (TIF_SYSCALL_AUDIT) and a meta-flag was
added (_TIF_SYSCALL_WORK) to simplify modifications to the syscall
entry/exit. Now, if either the TRACE flag is set or the AUDIT flag is
set, the syscall_trace function will be executed. The prober changes
were made to Kconfig to allow CONFIG_AUDITSYSCALL to be enabled.
Due to platform availability limitations, this patch was only tested
on the Android platform running the modified "android-goldfish-2.6.29"
kernel. A test compile was performed using Code Sourcery's
cross-compilation toolset and the current linux-3.0 stable kernel. The
changes compile without error. I'm hoping, due to the simple modifications,
the patch is "obviously correct".

Just a code cleanup really. We don't need to make a function call just for
it to return on error. This also makes the VFS function even easier to follow
and removes a conditional on a hot path.

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.

A number of audit hooks make function calls before they determine that

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

In the ia32entry syscall exit audit fastpath we have assembly code which calls
__audit_syscall_exit directly. This code was, however, zeroes the upper 32
bits of the return code. It then proceeded to call code which expects longs
to be 64bits long. In order to handle code which expects longs to be 64bit we
sign extend the return code if that code is an error. Thus the
__audit_syscall_exit function can correctly handle using the values in
snprintf("%ld"). This fixes the regression introduced in 5cbf1565f29eb57a86a.
Old record:
type=SYSCALL msg=audit(1306197182.256:281): arch=40000003 syscall=192 success=no exit=4294967283

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.

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...

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.

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?

Now that we use the VFS i_size field throughout XFS there is no need for the
i_new_size field any more given that the VFS i_size field gets updated
in ->write_end before unlocking the page, and thus is always uptodate when
writeback could see a page. Removing i_new_size also has the advantage that
we will never have to trim back di_size during a failed buffered write,
given that it never gets updated past i_size.
Note that currently the generic direct I/O code only updates i_size after
calling our end_io handler, which requires a small workaround to make
sure di_size actually makes it to disk. I hope to fix this properly in
the generic code.
A downside is that we lose the support for parallel non-overlapping O_DIRECT
appending writes that recently was added. I don't think keeping the complex
and fragile i_new_size infrastructure for this is a good tradeoff - if we
really care about parallel appending writers we should investigate turning
the iolock into a range lock, which would also allow for parallel
non-overlapping buffered writers.

There is no fundamental need to keep an in-memory inode size copy in the XFS
inode. We already have the on-disk value in the dinode, and the separate
in-memory copy that we need for regular files only in the XFS inode.
Remove the xfs_inode i_size field and change the XFS_ISIZE macro to use the
VFS inode i_size field for regular files. Switch code that was directly
accessing the i_size field in the xfs_inode to XFS_ISIZE, or in cases where
we are limited to regular files direct access of the VFS inode i_size field.
This also allows dropping some fairly complicated code in the write path
which dealt with keeping the xfs_inode i_size uptodate with the VFS i_size
that is getting updated inside ->write_end.
Note that we do not bother resetting the VFS i_size when truncating a file
that gets freed to zero as there is no point in doing so because the VFS inode
is no longer in use at this point. Just relax the assert in xfs_ifree to
only check the on-disk size instead.

Replace i_pin_wait, which is only used during synchronous inode flushing
with a bit waitqueue. This trades off a much smaller inode against
slightly slower wakeup performance, and saves 12 (32-bit) or 20 (64-bit)

We almost never block on i_flock, the exception is synchronous inode
flushing. Instead of bloating the inode with a 16/24-byte completion
that we abuse as a semaphore just implement it as a bitlock that uses
a bit waitqueue for the rare sleeping path. This primarily is a
tradeoff between a much smaller inode and a faster non-blocking
path vs faster wakeups, and we are much better off with the former.
A small downside is that we will lose lockdep checking for i_flock, but
given that it's always taken inside the ilock that should be acceptable.
Note that for example the inode writeback locking is implemented in a
very similar way.

To be used for bit wakeup i_flags needs to be an unsigned long or we'll
run into trouble on big endian systems. Because of the 1-byte i_update
field right after it this actually causes a fairly large size increase

by the next two patches.

We spent a lot of effort to maintain this field, but it always equals to the
fork size divided by the constant size of an extent. The prime use of it is
to assert that the two stay in sync. Just divide the fork size by the extent
size in the few places that we actually use it and remove the overhead
of maintaining it. Also introduce a few helpers to consolidate the places
where we actually care about the value.

kvm -cpu host passes the original cpuid info to the guest.
Latest kvm version seem to return true for mwait_leaf cpuid
function on recent Intel CPUs. But it does not return mwait
C-states (mwait_substates), instead zero is returned.
While real CPUs seem to always return non-zero values, the intel
idle driver should not get active in kvm (mwait_substates == 0)
case and bail out.
Otherwise a Null pointer exception will happen later when the
cpuidle subsystem tries to get active:

irq disabling happens earlier in process_32.c:cpu_idle. Basically,
cpuidle_state->enter is called, cpu irq is disabled. cpuidle_state->enter
would turn on irq when exiting.
intel_idle doesn't follow this assumption. Although it doesn't cause real
issue, it misleads developers. Remove the call to local_irq_disable() at
entry.

If the frontend is in idle state, don't call get_frontend.
Calling get_frontend() when the device is not tuned may
result in wrong parameters to be returned to the
userspace.
I was tempted to not call get_frontend() at all, except
inside the dvb frontend thread, but this won't work for
all cases. The ISDB-T specs (ABNT NBR 15601 and ARIB
STD-B31) allow the broadcaster to dynamically change the
channel specs at runtime. That means that an ISDB-T optimized
application may want/need to monitor the TMCC tables, decoded
at the frontends via get_frontend call.
So, let's do the simpler change here.
Eventually, the logic could be changed to work only if
the device is tuned and has lock, but, even so, the
lock is also standard-dependent. For ISDB-T, the right
lock to wait is that the demod has TMCC lock. So, drivers
may need to implement some logic to detect if the get_frontend
info was retrieved or not.

This reverts commit d2a7009f0bb03fa22ad08dd25472efa0568126b9.
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."
