2012-11-15tools: hv: Netlink source address validation allows DoSTomas Hozza1-1/+7
The source code without this patch caused hypervkvpd to exit when it processed a spoofed Netlink packet which has been sent from an untrusted local user. Now Netlink messages with a non-zero nl_pid source address are ignored and a warning is printed into the syslog. Signed-off-by: Tomas Hozza <thozza@redhat.com> Acked-by: K. Y.

Use rcu_read_lock_sched / rcu_read_unlock_sched / synchronize_sched instead of rcu_read_lock / rcu_read_unlock / synchronize_rcu. This is an optimization. The RCU-protected region is very small, so there will be no latency problems if we disable preempt in this region. So we use rcu_read_lock_sched / rcu_read_unlock_sched that translates to preempt_disable / preempt_disable. It is smaller (and supposedly faster) than preemptible rcu_read_lock / rcu_read_unlock.

2012-10-26VFS: don't do protected {sym,hard}links by defaultLinus Torvalds1-2/+2
In commit 800179c9b8a1 ("This adds symlink and hardlink restrictions to the Linux VFS"), the new link protections were enabled by default, in the hope that no actual application would care, despite it being technically against legacy UNIX (and documented POSIX) behavior. However, it does turn out to break some applications. It's rare, and it's unfortunate, but it's unacceptable to break existing systems, so we'll have to default to legacy behavior. In particular, it has broken the way AFD distributes files, see http://www.dwd.de/AFD/ along with some legacy scripts. Distributions can end up setting this at initrd time or in system scripts: if you have security problems due to link attacks during your early boot sequence, you have bigger problems than some kernel sysctl setting. Do: echo 1 > /proc/sys/fs/protected_symlinks echo 1 > /proc/sys/fs/protected_hardlinks to re-enable the link protections. Alternatively, we may at some point introduce a kernel config option that sets these kinds of "more secure but not traditional" behavioural options automatically.

2012-10-26net: usb: Fix memory leak on Tx data pathHemant Kumar1-0/+3
Driver anchors the tx urbs and defers the urb submission if a transmit request comes when the interface is suspended. Anchoring urb increments the urb reference count. These deferred urbs are later accessed by calling usb_get_from_anchor() for submission during interface resume. usb_get_from_anchor() unanchors the urb but urb reference count remains same. This causes the urb reference count to remain non-zero after usb_free_urb() gets called and urb never gets freed. Hence call usb_put_urb() after anchoring the urb to properly balance the reference count for these deferred urbs. Also, unanchor these deferred urbs during disconnect, to free them up.

2012-10-26bas_gigaset: fix pre_reset handlingTilman Schmidt1-3/+16
The delayed work function int_in_work() may call usb_reset_device() and thus, indirectly, the driver's pre_reset method. Trying to cancel the work synchronously in that situation would deadlock. Fix by avoiding cancel_work_sync() in the pre_reset method. If the reset was NOT initiated by int_in_work() this might cause int_in_work() to run after the post_reset method, with urb_int_in already resubmitted, so handle that case gracefully.

2012-10-26ktest: Fix ktest confusion with CONFIG_MODULES_USE_ELF_RELASteven Rostedt1-2/+4
In order to decide if ktest should bother installing modules on the target box, it checks if the config file has CONFIG_MODULES=y. But it also checks if the '=y' part exists. It only will install modules if the config exists and is set with '=y'. But as the regex that was used tests: /^CONFIG_MODULES(=y)?/ this will also match: CONFIG_MODULES_USE_ELF_RELA as the '=y' part was optional and it did not test the rest of the line. When this happens, ktest will stop checking the rest of the configs but it will also think that no modules are needed to be installed. What it should do is only jump out of the loop if it actually found a CONFIG_MODULES that is set to true. Otherwise, ktest wont install the necessary modules needed for proper booting of the test target. Signed-off-by: Steven Rostedt <rostedt@goodmis.org>

2012-10-25Input: wacom - handle split-sensor devices with internal hubsJason Gerecke3-2/+35
Like our other pen-and-touch products, the Cintiq 24HD touch needs data to be shared between its two sensors to facilitate proximity-based palm rejection. Unlike other tablets that report sensor data through separate interfaces of the same USB device, the Cintiq 24HD touch has separate USB devices that are connected to an internal USB hub. This patch makes it possible to designate the USB VID/PID of the other device so that the two may share data. To ensure we don't accidentally link to a sensor from a physically separate device (if several have been plugged in), we limit the search to siblings (i.e., devices directly connected to the same hub).

2012-10-25Makefile: Documentation for external tool should be correctH. Peter Anvin1-4/+2
If one includes documentation for an external tool, it should be correct. This is not: 1. Overriding the input to rngd should typically be neither necessary nor desired. This is especially so since newer versions of rngd support a number of different *types* of sources. 2. The default kernel-exported device is called /dev/hwrng not /dev/hwrandom nor /dev/hw_random (both of which were used in the past; however, kernel and udev seem to have converged on /dev/hwrng.)

2012-10-25pidns: limit the nesting depth of pid namespacesAndrew Vagin1-1/+11
'struct pid' is a "variable sized struct" - a header with an array of upids at the end. The size of the array depends on a level (depth) of pid namespaces. Now a level of pidns is not limited, so 'struct pid' can be more than one page. Looks reasonable, that it should be less than a page. MAX_PIS_NS_LEVEL is not calculated from PAGE_SIZE, because in this case it depends on architectures, config options and it will be reduced, if someone adds a new fields in struct pid or struct upid. I suggest to set MAX_PIS_NS_LEVEL = 32, because it saves ability to expand "struct pid" and it's more than enough for all known for me use-cases. When someone finds a reasonable use case, we can add a config option or a sysctl parameter. In addition it will reduce the effect of another problem, when we have many nested namespaces and the oldest one starts dying. zap_pid_ns_processe will be called for each namespace and find_vpid will be called for each process in a namespace. find_vpid will be called minimum max_level^2 / 2 times. The reason of that is that when we found a bit in pidmap, we can't determine this pidns is top for this process or it isn't. vpid is a heavy operation, so a fork bomb, which create many nested namespace, can make a system inaccessible for a long time. For example my system becomes inaccessible for a few minutes with 4000 processes.

2012-10-25drivers/dma/dw_dmac: make driver's endianness configurableHein Tibosch2-5/+24
The dw_dmac driver was originally developed for avr32 to be used with the Synopsys DesignWare AHB DMA controller. Starting from 2.6.38, access to the device's i/o memory was done with the little-endian readl/writel functions(1) This broke the driver for the avr32 platform, because it needs big (native) endian accessors. This patch makes the endianness configurable using 'DW_DMAC_BIG_ENDIAN_IO', which will default be true for AVR32 I submitted this patch before(2) but then waited for Andy to finish other changes to the same module(3).

2012-10-25mm/mmu_notifier: allocate mmu_notifier in advanceGavin Shan1-13/+13
While allocating mmu_notifier with parameter GFP_KERNEL, swap would start to work in case of tight available memory. Eventually, that would lead to a deadlock while the swap deamon swaps anonymous pages. It was caused by commit e0f3c3f78da29b ("mm/mmu_notifier: init notifier if necessary"). ================================= [ INFO: inconsistent lock state ] 3.7.0-rc1+ #518 Not tainted --------------------------------- inconsistent {RECLAIM_FS-ON-W} -> {IN-RECLAIM_FS-W} usage. kswapd0/35 [HC0[0]:SC0[0]:HE1:SE1] takes: (&mapping->i_mmap_mutex){+.+.?.}, at: page_referenced+0x9c/0x2e0 {RECLAIM_FS-ON-W} state was registered at: mark_held_locks+0x86/0x150 lockdep_trace_alloc+0x67/0xc0 kmem_cache_alloc_trace+0x33/0x230 do_mmu_notifier_register+0x87/0x180 mmu_notifier_register+0x13/0x20 kvm_dev_ioctl+0x428/0x510 do_vfs_ioctl+0x98/0x570 sys_ioctl+0x91/0xb0 system_call_fastpath+0x16/0x1b irq event stamp: 825 hardirqs last enabled at (825): _raw_spin_unlock_irq+0x30/0x60 hardirqs last disabled at (824): _raw_spin_lock_irq+0x19/0x80 softirqs last enabled at (0): copy_process+0x630/0x17c0 softirqs last disabled at (0): (null) ...

Latest Linus head run of "make selftests" in the tools directory failed with references to undefined variables. Reference was to 'write_thread_data' which is the name of a struct that is being used, not the variable itself. Change reference so it points to the variable.

2012-10-25rbtree: include linux/compiler.h for definition of __always_inlineWill Deacon1-0/+1
rb_erase_augmented() is a static function annotated with __always_inline. This causes a compile failure when attempting to use the rbtree implementation as a library (e.g. kvm tool): rbtree_augmented.h:125:24: error: expected `=', `,', `;', `asm' or `__attribute__' before `void' Include linux/compiler.h in rbtree_augmented.h so that the __always_inline macro is resolved correctly.
