2012-01-10signal: add block_sigmask() for adding sigmask to current->blockedMatt Fleming1-0/+21
Abstract the code sequence for adding a signal handler's sa_mask to current->blocked because the sequence is identical for all architectures. Furthermore, in the past some architectures actually got this code wrong, so introduce a wrapper that all architectures can use.

2012-01-10tracepoint: add tracepoints for debugging oom_score_adjKAMEZAWA Hiroyuki1-0/+6
oom_score_adj is used for guarding processes from OOM-Killer. One of problem is that it's inherited at fork(). When a daemon set oom_score_adj and make children, it's hard to know where the value is set. This patch adds some tracepoints useful for debugging. This patch adds 3 trace points. - creating new task - renaming a task (exec) - set oom_score_adj To debug, users need to enable some trace pointer. Maybe filtering is useful as # EVENT=/sys/kernel/debug/tracing/events/task/ # echo "oom_score_adj != 0" > $EVENT/task_newtask/filter # echo "oom_score_adj != 0" > $EVENT/task_rename/filter # echo 1 > $EVENT/enable # EVENT=/sys/kernel/debug/tracing/events/oom/ # echo 1 > $EVENT/enable output will be like this. # grep oom /sys/kernel/debug/tracing/trace bash-7699 [007] d..3 5140.744510: oom_score_adj_update: pid=7699 comm=bash oom_score_adj=-1000 bash-7699 [007] ...1 5151.818022: task_newtask: pid=7729 comm=bash clone_flags=1200011 oom_score_adj=-1000 ls-7729 [003] ...2 5151.818504: task_rename: pid=7729 oldcomm=bash newcomm=ls oom_score_adj=-1000 bash-7699 [002] ...1 5175.701468: task_newtask: pid=7730 comm=bash clone_flags=1200011 oom_score_adj=-1000 grep-7730 [007] ...2 5175.701993: task_rename: pid=7730 oldcomm=bash newcomm=grep oom_score_adj=-1000 Signed-off-by: KAMEZAWA Hiroyuki <[email protected]> Cc: KOSAKI Motohiro <[email protected]> Acked-by: David Rientjes <[email protected]> Signed-off-by: Andrew Morton <[email protected]> Signed-off-by: Linus Torvalds <[email protected]>
2012-01-10PM/Hibernate: do not count debug pages as savableStanislaw Gruszka1-0/+6
When debugging with CONFIG_DEBUG_PAGEALLOC and debug_guardpage_minorder > 0, we have lot of free pages that are not marked so. Snapshot code account them as savable, what cause hibernate memory preallocation failure. It is pretty hard to make hibernate allocation succeed with debug_guardpage_minorder=1. This change at least make it possible when system has relatively big amount of RAM. Signed-off-by: Stanislaw Gruszka <[email protected]> Acked-by: Rafael J.

2012-01-05security: remove the security_netlink_recv hook as it is equivalent to capable()Eric Paris1-2/+2
Once upon a time netlink was not sync and we had to get the effective capabilities from the skb that was being received. Today we instead get the capabilities from the current task. This has rendered the entire purpose of the hook moot as it is now functionally equivalent to the capable() call. Signed-off-by: Eric Paris <[email protected]>
2012-01-05ptrace: do not audit capability check when outputing /proc/pid/statEric Paris1-2/+10
Reading /proc/pid/stat of another process checks if one has ptrace permissions on that process. If one does have permissions it outputs some data about the process which might have security and attack implications. If the current task does not have ptrace permissions the read still works, but those fields are filled with inocuous (0) values. Since this check and a subsequent denial is not a violation of the security policy we should not audit such denials. This can be quite useful to removing ptrace broadly across a system without flooding the logs when ps is run or something which harmlessly walks proc.

2012-01-05capabilities: remove task_ns_* functionsEric Paris3-17/+3
task_ in the front of a function, in the security subsystem anyway, means to me at least, that we are operating with that task as the subject of the security decision. In this case what it means is that we are using current as the subject but we use the task to get the right namespace. Who in the world would ever realize that's what task_ns_capability means just by the name? This patch eliminates the task_ns functions entirely and uses the has_ns_capability function instead. This means we explicitly open code the ns in question in the caller. I think it makes the caller a LOT more clear what is going on. Signed-off-by: Eric Paris <[email protected]> Acked-by: Serge E.

2012-01-05capabilities: style only - move capable below ns_capableEric Paris1-16/+16
Although the current code is fine for consistency this moves the capable code below the function it calls in the c file. It doesn't actually change code. Signed-off-by: Eric Paris <[email protected]> Acked-by: Serge E. Hallyn <[email protected]>
2012-01-05capabilites: introduce new has_ns_capabilities_noauditEric Paris1-5/+25
For consistency in interfaces, introduce a new interface called has_ns_capabilities_noaudit. It checks if the given task has the given capability in the given namespace. Use this new function by has_capabilities_noaudit. Signed-off-by: Eric Paris <[email protected]> Acked-by: Serge E. Hallyn <[email protected]>
2012-01-05capabilities: call has_ns_capability from has_capabilityEric Paris1-16/+10
Declare the more specific has_ns_capability first in the code and then call it from has_capability. The declaration reversal isn't stricty necessary since they are both declared in header files, but it just makes sense to put more specific functions first in the code.

2012-01-05capabilities: remove all _real_ interfacesEric Paris1-3/+15

2012-01-05capabilities: reverse arguments to security_capableEric Paris1-1/+1
security_capable takes ns, cred, cap. But the LSM capable() hook takes cred, ns, cap. The capability helper functions also take cred, ns, cap. Rather than flip argument order just to flip it back, leave them alone. Heck, this should be a little faster since argument will be in the right place! Signed-off-by: Eric Paris <[email protected]>
2012-01-05cgroup: fix to allow mounting a hierarchy by nameLi Zefan1-3/+3
If we mount a hierarchy with a specified name, the name is unique, and we can use it to mount the hierarchy without specifying its set of subsystem names. This feature is documented is Documentation/cgroups/cgroups.txt section 2.3 Here's an example: # mount -t cgroup -o cpuset,name=myhier xxx /cgroup1 # mount -t cgroup -o name=myhier xxx /cgroup2 But it was broken by commit 32a8cf235e2f192eb002755076994525cdbaa35a (cgroup: make the mount options parsing more accurate) This fixes the regression.

2012-01-04ptrace: ensure JOBCTL_STOP_SIGMASK is not zero after detachOleg Nesterov2-3/+12
This is the temporary simple fix for 3.2, we need more changes in this area. 1. do_signal_stop() assumes that the running untraced thread in the stopped thread group is not possible. This was our goal but it is not yet achieved: a stopped-but-resumed tracee can clone the running thread which can initiate another group-stop. Remove WARN_ON_ONCE(!current->ptrace). 2. A new thread always starts with ->jobctl = 0. If it is auto-attached and this group is stopped, __ptrace_unlink() sets JOBCTL_STOP_PENDING but JOBCTL_STOP_SIGMASK part is zero, this triggers WANR_ON(!signr) in do_jobctl_trap() if another debugger attaches. Change __ptrace_unlink() to set the artificial SIGSTOP for report. Alternatively we could change ptrace_init_task() to copy signr from current, but this means we can copy it for no reason and hide the possible similar problems.

2012-01-04ptrace: partially fix the do_wait(WEXITED) vs EXIT_DEAD->EXIT_ZOMBIE raceOleg Nesterov1-1/+8
Test-case: int main(void) { int pid, status; pid = fork(); if (!pid) { for (;;) { if (!fork()) return 0; if (waitpid(-1, &status, 0) < 0) { printf("ERR!! wait: %m\n"); return 0; } } } assert(ptrace(PTRACE_ATTACH, pid, 0,0) == 0); assert(waitpid(-1, NULL, 0) == pid); assert(ptrace(PTRACE_SETOPTIONS, pid, 0, PTRACE_O_TRACEFORK) == 0); do { ptrace(PTRACE_CONT, pid, 0, 0); pid = waitpid(-1, NULL, 0); } while (pid > 0); return 1; } It fails because ->real_parent sees its child in EXIT_DEAD state while the tracer is going to change the state back to EXIT_ZOMBIE in wait_task_zombie(). The offending commit is 823b018e which moved the EXIT_DEAD check, but in fact we should not blame it. The original code was not correct as well because it didn't take ptrace_reparented() into account and because we can't really trust ->ptrace. This patch adds the additional check to close this particular race but it doesn't solve the whole problem. We simply can't rely on ->ptrace in this case, it can be cleared if the tracer is multithreaded by the exiting ->parent. I think we should kill EXIT_DEAD altogether, we should always remove the soon-to-be-reaped child from ->children or at least we should never do the DEAD->ZOMBIE transition. But this is too complex for 3.2.
