When reading from/writing to some table, a root, which this table came from,
may affect this table's permissions, depending on who is working with the
table.
The core hunk is at the bottom of this patch. All the rest is just pushing
the ctl_table_root argument up to the sysctl_perm() function.
This will be mostly (only?) used in the net sysctls.

Many (most of) sysctls do not have a per-container sense. E.g.
kernel.print_fatal_signals, vm.panic_on_oom, net.core.netdev_budget and so on
and so forth. Besides, tuning then from inside a container is not even
secure. On the other hand, hiding them completely from the container's tasks
sometimes causes user-space to stop working.
When developing net sysctl, the common practice was to duplicate a table and
drop the write bits in table->mode, but this approach was not very elegant,
lead to excessive memory consumption and was not suitable in general.
Here's the alternative solution. To facilitate the per-container sysctls
ctl_table_root-s were introduced. Each root contains a list of
ctl_table_header-s that are visible to different namespaces. The idea of this
set is to add the permissions() callback on the ctl_table_root to allow ctl
root limit permissions to the same ctl_table-s.
The main user of this functionality is the net-namespaces code, but later this
will (should) be used by more and more namespaces, containers and control
groups.
Actually, this idea's core is in a single hunk in the third patch. First two
patches are cleanups for sysctl code, while the third one mostly extends the
arguments set of some sysctl functions.
This patch:
These ->read and ->write callbacks act in a very similar way, so merge these
paths to reduce the number of places to patch later and shrink the .text size
(a bit).

This set of patches fixes an proc ->open'less usage due to ->proc_fops flip in
the most part of the kernel code. The original OOPS is described in the
commit 2d3a4e3666325a9709cc8ea2e88151394e8f20fc:
Typical PDE creation code looks like:
pde = create_proc_entry("foo", 0, NULL);
if (pde)
pde->proc_fops = &foo_proc_fops;
Notice that PDE is first created, only then ->proc_fops is set up to
final value. This is a problem because right after creation
a) PDE is fully visible in /proc , and
b) ->proc_fops are proc_file_operations which do not have ->open callback. So, it's
possible to ->read without ->open (see one class of oopses below).
The fix is new API called proc_create() which makes sure ->proc_fops are
set up before gluing PDE to main tree. Typical new code looks like:
pde = proc_create("foo", 0, NULL, &foo_proc_fops);
if (!pde)
return -ENOMEM;
Fix most networking users for a start.
In the long run, create_proc_entry() for regular files will go.
In addition to this, proc_create_data is introduced to fix reading from
proc without PDE->data. The race is basically the same as above.
create_proc_entries is replaced in the entire kernel code as new method
is also simply better.
This patch:
The problem is the same as for de->proc_fops. Right now PDE becomes visible
without data set. So, the entry could be looked up without data. This, in
most cases, will simply OOPS.
proc_create_data call is created to address this issue. proc_create now
becomes a wrapper around it.

Now that last dozen or so users of ->get_info were removed, ditch it too.
Everyone sane shouldd have switched to seq_file interface long ago.
P.S.: Co-existing 3 interfaces (->get_info/->read_proc/->proc_fops) for proc
is long-standing crap, BTW, thus
a) put ->read_proc/->write_proc/read_proc_entry() users on death row,
b) new such users should be rejected,
c) everyone is encouraged to convert his favourite ->read_proc user or
I'll do it, lazy bastards.

Remove proc_root export. Creation and removal works well if parent PDE is
supplied as NULL -- it worked always that way.
So, one useless export removed and consistency added, some drivers created
PDEs with &proc_root as parent but removed them as NULL and so on.

If valid "parent" is passed to proc_create/remove_proc_entry(), then name of
PDE should consist of only one path component, otherwise creation or or
removal will fail. However, if NULL is passed as parent then create/remove
accept full path as a argument. This is arbitrary restriction -- all
infrastructure is in place.
So, patch allows the following to succeed:
create_proc_entry("foo/bar", 0, pde_baz);
remove_proc_entry("baz/foo/bar", &proc_root);
Also makes the following to behave identically:
create_proc_entry("foo/bar", 0, NULL);
create_proc_entry("foo/bar", 0, &proc_root);
Discrepancy noticed by Den Lunev (IIRC).

This cleans up the permission checks done for /proc/PID/mem i/o calls. It
puts all the logic in a new function, check_mem_permission().
The old code repeated the (!MAY_PTRACE(task) || !ptrace_may_attach(task))
magical expression multiple times. The new function does all that work in one
place, with clear comments.
The old code called security_ptrace() twice on successful checks, once in
MAY_PTRACE() and once in __ptrace_may_attach(). Now it's only called once,
and only if all other checks have succeeded.

The kernel implements readlink of /proc/pid/exe by getting the file from
the first executable VMA. Then the path to the file is reconstructed and
reported as the result.
Because of the VMA walk the code is slightly different on nommu systems.
This patch avoids separate /proc/pid/exe code on nommu systems. Instead of
walking the VMAs to find the first executable file-backed VMA we store a
reference to the exec'd file in the mm_struct.
That reference would prevent the filesystem holding the executable file
from being unmounted even after unmapping the VMAs. So we track the number
of VM_EXECUTABLE VMAs and drop the new reference when the last one is
unmapped. This avoids pinning the mounted filesystem.

Remove the mem_cgroup member from mm_struct and instead adds an owner.
This approach was suggested by Paul Menage. The advantage of this approach
is that, once the mm->owner is known, using the subsystem id, the cgroup
can be determined. It also allows several control groups that are
virtually grouped by mm_struct, to exist independent of the memory
controller i.e., without adding mem_cgroup's for each controller, to
mm_struct.
A new config option CONFIG_MM_OWNER is added and the memory resource
controller selects this config option.
This patch also adds cgroup callbacks to notify subsystems when mm->owner
changes. The mm_cgroup_changed callback is called with the task_lock() of
the new task held and is called just prior to changing the mm->owner.
I am indebted to Paul Menage for the several reviews of this patchset and
helping me make it lighter and simpler.
This patch was tested on a powerpc box, it was compiled with both the
MM_OWNER config turned on and off.
After the thread group leader exits, it's moved to init_css_state by
cgroup_exit(), thus all future charges from runnings threads would be
redirected to the init_css_set's subsystem.

Implement a cgroup to track and enforce open and mknod restrictions on device
files. A device cgroup associates a device access whitelist with each cgroup.
A whitelist entry has 4 fields. 'type' is a (all), c (char), or b (block).
'all' means it applies to all types and all major and minor numbers. Major
and minor are either an integer or * for all. Access is a composition of r
(read), w (write), and m (mknod).
The root device cgroup starts with rwm to 'all'. A child devcg gets a copy of
the parent. Admins can then remove devices from the whitelist or add new
entries. A child cgroup can never receive a device access which is denied its
parent. However when a device access is removed from a parent it will not
also be removed from the child(ren).
An entry is added using devices.allow, and removed using
devices.deny. For instance
echo 'c 1:3 mr' > /cgroups/1/devices.allow
allows cgroup 1 to read and mknod the device usually known as
/dev/null. Doing
echo a > /cgroups/1/devices.deny
will remove the default 'a *:* mrw' entry.
CAP_SYS_ADMIN is needed to change permissions or move another task to a new
cgroup. A cgroup may not be granted more permissions than the cgroup's parent
has. Any task can move itself between cgroups. This won't be sufficient, but
we can decide the best way to adequately restrict movement later.

Make eCryptfs key module subsystem respect namespaces.
Since I will be removing the netlink interface in a future patch, I just made
changes to the netlink.c code so that it will not break the build. With my
recent patches, the kernel module currently defaults to the device handle
interface rather than the netlink interface.

A regular device file was my real preference from the get-go, but I went with
netlink at the time because I thought it would be less complex for managing
send queues (i.e., just do a unicast and move on). It turns out that we do
not really get that much complexity reduction with netlink, and netlink is
more heavyweight than a device handle.
In addition, the netlink interface to eCryptfs has been broken since 2.6.24.
I am assuming this is a bug in how eCryptfs uses netlink, since the other
in-kernel users of netlink do not seem to be having any problems. I have had
one report of a user successfully using eCryptfs with netlink on 2.6.24, but
for my own systems, when starting the userspace daemon, the initial helo
message sent to the eCryptfs kernel module results in an oops right off the
bat. I spent some time looking at it, but I have not yet found the cause.
The netlink interface breaking gave me the motivation to just finish my patch
to migrate to a regular device handle. If I cannot find out soon why the
netlink interface in eCryptfs broke, I am likely to just send a patch to
disable it in 2.6.24 and 2.6.25. I would like the device handle to be the
preferred means of communicating with the userspace daemon from 2.6.26 on
forward.
This patch:
Functions to facilitate reading and writing to the eCryptfs miscellaneous
device handle. This will replace the netlink interface as the preferred
mechanism for communicating with the userspace eCryptfs daemon.
Each user has his own daemon, which registers itself by opening the eCryptfs
device handle. Only one daemon per euid may be registered at any given time.
The eCryptfs module sends a message to a daemon by adding its message to the
daemon's outgoing message queue. The daemon reads the device handle to get
the oldest message off the queue.
Incoming messages from the userspace daemon are immediately handled. If the
message is a response, then the corresponding process that is blocked waiting
for the response is awakened.

We need to check ->s_dirt before calling write_super(). It became the cause
of an unneeded write.

Fix longstanding lock inversion in drop_pagecache_sb by dropping inode_lock
before calling __invalidate_mapping_pages(). We just have to make sure inode
won't go away from under us by keeping reference to it and putting the
reference only after we have safely resumed the scan of the inode list. A bit
tricky but not too bad...
