2011-07-24VFS : mount lock scalability for internal mountsTim Chen
For a number of file systems that don't have a mount point (e.g. sockfs and pipefs), they are not marked as long term. Therefore in mntput_no_expire, all locks in vfs_mount lock are taken instead of just local cpu's lock to aggregate reference counts when we release reference to file objects. In fact, only local lock need to have been taken to update ref counts as these file systems are in no danger of going away until we are ready to unregister them. The attached patch marks file systems using kern_mount without mount point as long term. The contentions of vfs_mount lock is now eliminated. Before un-registering such file system, kern_unmount should be called to remove the long term flag and make the mount point ready to be freed.

2011-06-21net: remove mm.h inclusion from netdevice.hAlexey Dobriyan
Remove linux/mm.h inclusion from netdevice.h -- it's unused (I've checked manually). To prevent mm.h inclusion via other channels also extract "enum dma_data_direction" definition into separate header. This tiny piece is what gluing netdevice.h with mm.h via "netdevice.h => dmaengine.h => dma-mapping.h => scatterlist.h => mm.h". Removal of mm.h from scatterlist.h was tried and was found not feasible on most archs, so the link was cutoff earlier. Hope people are OK with tiny include file. Note, that mm_types.h is still dragged in, but it is a separate story. Signed-off-by: Alexey Dobriyan <adobriyan@gmail.com> Signed-off-by: David S. Miller <davem@davemloft.net>

2011-06-17KEYS/DNS: Fix ____call_usermodehelper() to not lose the session keyringDavid Howells
____call_usermodehelper() now erases any credentials set by the subprocess_inf::init() function. The problem is that commit 17f60a7da150 ("capabilites: allow the application of capability limits to usermode helpers") creates and commits new credentials with prepare_kernel_cred() after the call to the init() function. This wipes all keyrings after umh_keys_init() is called. The best way to deal with this is to put the init() call just prior to the commit_creds() call, and pass the cred pointer to init(). That means that umh_keys_init() and suchlike can modify the credentials _before_ they are published and potentially in use by the rest of the system. This prevents request_key() from working as it is prevented from passing the session keyring it set up with the authorisation token to /sbin/request-key, and so the latter can't assume the authority to instantiate the key. This causes the in-kernel DNS resolver to fail with ENOKEY unconditionally.

2011-06-08selinux: simplify and clean up inode_has_perm()Linus Torvalds
This is a rather hot function that is called with a potentially NULL "struct common_audit_data" pointer argument. And in that case it has to provide and initialize its own dummy common_audit_data structure. However, all the _common_ cases already pass it a real audit-data structure, so that uncommon NULL case not only creates a silly run-time test, more importantly it causes that function to have a big stack frame for the dummy variable that isn't even used in the common case! So get rid of that stupid run-time behavior, and make the (few) functions that currently call with a NULL pointer just call a new helper function instead (naturally called inode_has_perm_noapd(), since it has no adp argument). This makes the run-time test be a static code generation issue instead, and allows for a much denser stack since none of the common callers need the dummy structure. And a denser stack not only means less stack space usage, it means better cache behavior. So we have a win-win-win from this simplification: less code executed, smaller stack footprint, and better cache behavior. Signed-off-by: Linus Torvalds <torvalds@linux-foundation.org>

Right now security_get_user_sids() will pass in a NULL avd pointer to avc_has_perm_noaudit(), which then forces that function to have a dummy entry for that case and just generally test it. Don't do it. The normal callers all pass a real avd pointer, and this helper function is incredibly hot. So don't make avc_has_perm_noaudit() do conditional stuff that isn't needed for the common case. This also avoids some duplicated stack space.

2011-05-26cgroups: add per-thread subsystem callbacksBen Blum
Add cgroup subsystem callbacks for per-thread attachment in atomic contexts Add can_attach_task(), pre_attach(), and attach_task() as new callbacks for cgroups's subsystem interface. Unlike can_attach and attach, these are for per-thread operations, to be called potentially many times when attaching an entire threadgroup. Also, the old "bool threadgroup" interface is removed, as replaced by this. All subsystems are modified for the new interface - of note is cpuset, which requires from/to nodemasks for attach to be globally scoped (though per-cpuset would work too) to persist from its pre_attach to attach_task and attach.

2011-05-26selinux: fix case of names with whitespace/multibytes on /selinux/createKohei Kaigai
I submit the patch again, according to patch submission convension. This patch enables to accept percent-encoded object names as forth argument of /selinux/create interface to avoid possible bugs when we give an object name including whitespace or multibutes. E.g) if and when a userspace object manager tries to create a new object named as "resolve.conf but fake", it shall give this name as the forth argument of the /selinux/create. But sscanf() logic in kernel space fetches only the part earlier than the first whitespace. In this case, selinux may unexpectedly answer a default security context configured to "resolve.conf", but it is bug. Although I could not test this patch on named TYPE_TRANSITION rules actually, But debug printk() message seems to me the logic works correctly. I assume the libselinux provides an interface to apply this logic transparently, so nothing shall not be changed from the viewpoint of application.

2011-05-19selinux: avoid unnecessary avc cache stat hit countLinus Torvalds

2011-05-19selinux: de-crapify avc cache stat code generationLinus Torvalds
You can turn off the avc cache stats, but distributions seem to not do that (perhaps because several performance tuning how-to's talk about the avc cache statistics). Which is sad, because the code it generates is truly horrendous, with the statistics update being sandwitched between get_cpu/put_cpu which in turn causes preemption disables etc. We're talking ten+ instructions just to increment a per-cpu variable in some pretty hot code. Fix the craziness by just using 'this_cpu_inc()' instead. Suddenly we only need a single 'inc' instruction to increment the statistics. This is quite noticeable in the incredibly hot avc_has_perm_noaudit() function (which triggers all the statistics by virtue of doing an avc_lookup() call).

In tomoyo_correct_domain() since 2.6.36, TOMOYO was by error validating "<kernel>" + "/foo/\" + "/bar" when "<kernel> /foo/\* /bar" was given. As a result, legal domainnames like "<kernel> /foo/\* /bar" are rejected.

In the interest of keeping userspace from having to create new root filesystems all the time, let's follow the lead of the other in-kernel filesystems and provide a proper mount point for it in sysfs.

2011-04-28flex_array: flex_array_prealloc takes a number of elements, not an endEric Paris
Change flex_array_prealloc to take the number of elements for which space should be allocated instead of the last (inclusive) element. Users and documentation are updated accordingly. flex_arrays got introduced before they had users. When folks started using it, they ended up needing a different API than was coded up originally. This swaps over to the API that folks apparently need.

2011-04-28SELinux: pass last path component in may_createEric Paris
New inodes are created in a two stage process. We first will compute the label on a new inode in security_inode_create() and check if the operation is allowed. We will then actually re-compute that same label and apply it in security_inode_init_security(). The change to do new label calculations based in part on the last component of the path name only passed the path component information all the way down the security_inode_init_security hook. Down the security_inode_create hook the path information did not make it past may_create. Thus the two calculations came up differently and the permissions check might not actually be against the label that is created. Pass and use the same information in both places to harmonize the calculations and checks. Reported-by: Dominick Grift <domg472@gmail.com> Signed-off-by: Eric Paris <eparis@redhat.com>
