Pull networking updates from David Miller: "Much more accumulated than I would have liked due to an unexpected bout with a nasty flu: 1) AH and ESP input don't set ECN field correctly because the transport head of the SKB isn't set correctly, fix from Li RongQing. 2) If netfilter conntrack zones are disabled, we can return an uninitialized variable instead of the proper error code. Fix from Borislav Petkov. 3) Fix double SKB free in ath9k driver beacon handling, from Felix Feitkau. 4) Remove bogus assumption about netns cleanup ordering in nf_conntrack, from Pablo Neira Ayuso. 5) Remove a bogus BUG_ON in the new TCP fastopen code, from Eric Dumazet. It uses spin_is_locked() in it's test and is therefore unsuitable for UP. 6) Fix SELINUX labelling regressions added by the tuntap multiqueue changes, from Paul Moore. 7) Fix CRC errors with jumbo frame receive in tg3 driver, from Nithin Nayak Sujir. 8) CXGB4 driver sets interrupt coalescing parameters only on first queue, rather than all of them. Fix from Thadeu Lima de Souza Cascardo. 9) Fix regression in the dispatch of read/write registers in dm9601 driver, from Tushar Behera. 10) ipv6_append_data miscalculates header length, from Romain KUNTZ. 11) Fix PMTU handling regressions on ipv4 routes, from Steffen Klassert, Timo Teräs, and Julian Anastasov. 12) In 3c574_cs driver, add necessary parenthesis to "x << y & z" expression. From Nickolai Zeldovich. 13) macvlan_get_size() causes underallocation netlink message space, fix from Eric Dumazet. 14) Avoid division by zero in xfrm_replay_advance_bmp(), from Nickolai Zeldovich. Amusingly the zero check was already there, we were just performing it after the modulus :-) 15) Some more splice bug fixes from Eric Dumazet, which fix things mostly eminating from how we now more aggressively use high-order pages in SKBs. 16) Fix size calculation bug when freeing hash tables in the IPSEC xfrm code, from Michal Kubecek. 17) Fix PMTU event propagation into socket cached routes, from Steffen Klassert. 18) Fix off by one in TX buffer release in netxen driver, from Eric Dumazet. 19) Fix rediculous memory allocation requirements introduced by the tuntap multiqueue changes, from Jason Wang. 20) Remove bogus AMD platform workaround in r8169 driver that causes major problems in normal operation, from Timo Teräs. 21) virtio-net set affinity and select queue don't handle discontiguous cpu numbers properly, fix from Wanlong Gao. 22) Fix a route refcounting issue in loopback driver, from Eric Dumazet. There's a similar fix coming that we might add to the macvlan driver as well. 23) Fix SKB leaks in batman-adv's distributed arp table code, from Matthias Schiffer. 24) r8169 driver gives descriptor ownership back the hardware before we're done reading the VLAN tag out of it, fix from Francois Romieu. 25) Checksums not calculated properly in GRE tunnel driver fix from Pravin B Shelar. 26) Fix SCTP memory leak on namespace exit." * git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/davem/net: (101 commits) dm9601: support dm9620 variant SCTP: Free the per-net sysctl table on net exit. v2 net: phy: icplus: fix broken INTR pin settings net: phy: icplus: Use the RGMII interface mode to configure clock delays IP_GRE: Fix kernel panic in IP_GRE with GRE csum. sctp: set association state to established in dupcook_a handler ip6mr: limit IPv6 MRT_TABLE identifiers r8169: fix vlan tag read ordering. net: cdc_ncm: use IAD provided by the USB core batman-adv: filter ARP packets with invalid MAC addresses in DAT batman-adv: check for more types of invalid IP addresses in DAT batman-adv: fix skb leak in batadv_dat_snoop_incoming_arp_reply() net: loopback: fix a dst refcounting issue virtio-net: reset virtqueue affinity when doing cpu hotplug virtio-net: split out clean affinity function virtio-net: fix the set affinity bug when CPU IDs are not consecutive can: pch_can: fix invalid error codes can: ti_hecc: fix invalid error codes can: c_can: fix invalid error codes r8169: remove the obsolete and incorrect AMD workaround ...

2013-01-14tun: fix LSM/SELinux labeling of tun/tap devicesPaul Moore4-19/+87
This patch corrects some problems with LSM/SELinux that were introduced with the multiqueue patchset. The problem stems from the fact that the multiqueue work changed the relationship between the tun device and its associated socket; before the socket persisted for the life of the device, however after the multiqueue changes the socket only persisted for the life of the userspace connection (fd open). For non-persistent devices this is not an issue, but for persistent devices this can cause the tun device to lose its SELinux label. We correct this problem by adding an opaque LSM security blob to the tun device struct which allows us to have the LSM security state, e.g. SELinux labeling information, persist for the lifetime of the tun device. In the process we tweak the LSM hooks to work with this new approach to TUN device/socket labeling and introduce a new LSM hook, security_tun_dev_attach_queue(), to approve requests to attach to a TUN queue via TUNSETQUEUE. The SELinux code has been adjusted to match the new LSM hooks, the other LSMs do not make use of the LSM TUN controls. This patch makes use of the recently added "tun_socket:attach_queue" permission to restrict access to the TUNSETQUEUE operation. On older SELinux policies which do not define the "tun_socket:attach_queue" permission the access control decision for TUNSETQUEUE will be handled according to the SELinux policy's unknown permission setting.

Pull user namespace changes from Eric Biederman: "While small this set of changes is very significant with respect to containers in general and user namespaces in particular. The user space interface is now complete. This set of changes adds support for unprivileged users to create user namespaces and as a user namespace root to create other namespaces. The tyranny of supporting suid root preventing unprivileged users from using cool new kernel features is broken. This set of changes completes the work on setns, adding support for the pid, user, mount namespaces. This set of changes includes a bunch of basic pid namespace cleanups/simplifications. Of particular significance is the rework of the pid namespace cleanup so it no longer requires sending out tendrils into all kinds of unexpected cleanup paths for operation. At least one case of broken error handling is fixed by this cleanup. The files under /proc/<pid>/ns/ have been converted from regular files to magic symlinks which prevents incorrect caching by the VFS, ensuring the files always refer to the namespace the process is currently using and ensuring that the ptrace_mayaccess permission checks are always applied. The files under /proc/<pid>/ns/ have been given stable inode numbers so it is now possible to see if different processes share the same namespaces. Through the David Miller's net tree are changes to relax many of the permission checks in the networking stack to allowing the user namespace root to usefully use the networking stack. Similar changes for the mount namespace and the pid namespace are coming through my tree. Two small changes to add user namespace support were commited here adn in David Miller's -net tree so that I could complete the work on the /proc/<pid>/ns/ files in this tree. Work remains to make it safe to build user namespaces and 9p, afs, ceph, cifs, coda, gfs2, ncpfs, nfs, nfsd, ocfs2, and xfs so the Kconfig guard remains in place preventing that user namespaces from being built when any of those filesystems are enabled.

2012-12-14Fix cap_capable to only allow owners in the parent user namespace to have caps.Eric W. Biederman1-8/+17
Andy Lutomirski pointed out that the current behavior of allowing the owner of a user namespace to have all caps when that owner is not in a parent user namespace is wrong. Add a test to ensure the owner of a user namespace is in the parent of the user namespace to fix this bug. Thankfully this bug did not apply to the initial user namespace, keeping the mischief that can be caused by this bug quite small. This is bug was introduced in v3.5 by commit 783291e6900 "Simplify the user_namespace by making userns->creator a kuid." But did not matter until the permisions required to create a user namespace were relaxed allowing a user namespace to be created inside of a user namespace. The bug made it possible for the owner of a user namespace to be present in a child user namespace. Since the owner of a user nameapce is granted all capabilities it became possible for users in a grandchild user namespace to have all privilges over their parent user namspace. Reorder the checks in cap_capable. This should make the common case faster and make it clear that nothing magic happens in the initial user namespace. The reordering is safe because cred->user_ns can only be in targ_ns or targ_ns->parent but not both. Add a comment a the top of the loop to make the logic of the code clear. Add a distinct variable ns that changes as we walk up the user namespace hierarchy to make it clear which variable is changing.

With the addition of the new kernel module syscall, which defines two arguments - a file descriptor to the kernel module and a pointer to a NULL terminated string of module arguments - it is now possible to measure and appraise kernel modules like any other file on the file system. This patch adds support to measure and appraise kernel modules in an extensible and consistent manner.

Pull cgroup changes from Tejun Heo: "A lot of activities on cgroup side. The big changes are focused on making cgroup hierarchy handling saner. - cgroup_rmdir() had peculiar semantics - it allowed cgroup destruction to be vetoed by individual controllers and tried to drain refcnt synchronously. The vetoing never worked properly and caused good deal of contortions in cgroup. memcg was the last reamining user. Michal Hocko removed the usage and cgroup_rmdir() path has been simplified significantly. This was done in a separate branch so that the memcg people can base further memcg changes on top. - The above allowed cleaning up cgroup lifecycle management and implementation of generic cgroup iterators which are used to improve hierarchy support. - cgroup_freezer updated to allow migration in and out of a frozen cgroup and handle hierarchy. If a cgroup is frozen, all descendant cgroups are frozen. - netcls_cgroup and netprio_cgroup updated to handle hierarchy properly. - Various fixes and cleanups. - Two merge commits. One to pull in memcg and rmdir cleanups (needed to build iterators). The other pulled in cgroup/for-3.7-fixes for device_cgroup fixes so that further device_cgroup patches can be stacked on top."

2012-11-20userns: Kill task_user_nsEric W. Biederman1-3/+9
The task_user_ns function hides the fact that it is getting the user namespace from struct cred on the task. struct cred may go away as soon as the rcu lock is released. This leads to a race where we can dereference a stale user namespace pointer. To make it obvious a struct cred is involved kill task_user_ns. To kill the race modify the users of task_user_ns to only reference the user namespace while the rcu lock is held.

2012-10-25apparmor: fix IRQ stack overflow during free_profileJohn Johansen1-1/+23
BugLink: http://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1056078 Profile replacement can cause long chains of profiles to build up when the profile being replaced is pinned. When the pinned profile is finally freed, it puts the reference to its replacement, which may in turn nest another call to free_profile on the stack. Because this may happen for each profile in the replacedby chain this can result in a recusion that causes the stack to overflow. Break this nesting by directly walking the chain of replacedby profiles (ie. use iteration instead of recursion to free the list). This results in at most 2 levels of free_profile being called, while freeing a replacedby chain.

Pull asm-generic updates from Arnd Bergmann: "This has three changes for asm-generic that did not really fit into any other branch as normal asm-generic changes do. One is a fix for a build warning, the other two are more interesting: * A patch from Mark Brown to allow using the common clock infrastructure on all architectures, so we can use the clock API in architecture independent device drivers. * The UAPI split patches from David Howells for the asm-generic files. There are other architecture specific series that are going through the arch maintainer tree and that depend on this one. There may be a few small merge conflicts between Mark's patch and the following arch header file split patches. In each case the solution will be to keep the new "generic-y += clkdev.h" line, even if it ends up being the only line in the Kbuild file." * tag 'asm-generic' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/arnd/asm-generic: UAPI: (Scripted) Disintegrate include/asm-generic asm-generic: Add default clkdev.h asm-generic: xor: mark static functions as __maybe_unused
2012-10-08KEYS: Add payload preparsing opportunity prior to key instantiate or updateDavid Howells7-63/+129
Give the key type the opportunity to preparse the payload prior to the instantiation and update routines being called. This is done with the provision of two new key type operations: int (*preparse)(struct key_preparsed_payload *prep); void (*free_preparse)(struct key_preparsed_payload *prep); If the first operation is present, then it is called before key creation (in the add/update case) or before the key semaphore is taken (in the update and instantiate cases). The second operation is called to clean up if the first was called. preparse() is given the opportunity to fill in the following structure: struct key_preparsed_payload { char *description; void *type_data[2]; void *payload; const void *data; size_t datalen; size_t quotalen; }; Before the preparser is called, the first three fields will have been cleared, the payload pointer and size will be stored in data and datalen and the default quota size from the key_type struct will be stored into quotalen. The preparser may parse the payload in any way it likes and may store data in the type_data[] and payload fields for use by the instantiate() and update() ops. The preparser may also propose a description for the key by attaching it as a string to the description field. This can be used by passing a NULL or "" description to the add_key() system call or the key_create_or_update() function. This cannot work with request_key() as that required the description to tell the upcall about the key to be created. This, for example permits keys that store PGP public keys to generate their own name from the user ID and public key fingerprint in the key. The instantiate() and update() operations are then modified to look like this: int (*instantiate)(struct key *key, struct key_preparsed_payload *prep); int (*update)(struct key *key, struct key_preparsed_payload *prep); and the new payload data is passed in *prep, whether or not it was preparsed.

2012-10-06device_cgroup: convert device_cgroup internally to policy + exceptionsAristeu Rozanski1-98/+134
The original model of device_cgroup is having a whitelist where all the allowed devices are listed. The problem with this approach is that is impossible to have the case of allowing everything but few devices. The reason for that lies in the way the whitelist is handled internally: since there's only a whitelist, the "all devices" entry would have to be removed and replaced by the entire list of possible devices but the ones that are being denied. Since dev_t is 32 bits long, representing the allowed devices as a bitfield is not memory efficient. This patch replaces the "whitelist" by a "exceptions" list and the default policy is kept as "deny_all" variable in dev_cgroup structure. The current interface determines that whenever "a" is written to devices.allow or devices.deny, the entry masking all devices will be added or removed, respectively. This behavior is kept and it's what will determine the default policy: # cat devices.list a *:* rwm # echo a >devices.deny # cat devices.list # echo a >devices.allow # cat devices.list a *:* rwm The interface is also preserved. For example, if one wants to block only access to /dev/null: # ls -l /dev/null crw-rw-rw- 1 root root 1, 3 Jul 24 16:17 /dev/null # echo a >devices.allow # echo "c 1:3 rwm" >devices.deny # cat /dev/null cat: /dev/null: Operation not permitted # echo >/dev/null bash: /dev/null: Operation not permitted mknod /tmp/null c 1 3 mknod: `/tmp/null': Operation not permitted # echo "c 1:3 r" >devices.allow # cat /dev/null # echo >/dev/null bash: /dev/null: Operation not permitted mknod /tmp/null c 1 3 mknod: `/tmp/null': Operation not permitted # echo "c 1:3 rw" >devices.allow # echo >/dev/null # cat /dev/null # mknod /tmp/null c 1 3 mknod: `/tmp/null': Operation not permitted # echo "c 1:3 rwm" >devices.allow # echo >/dev/null # cat /dev/null # mknod /tmp/null c 1 3 # Note that I didn't rename the functions/variables in this patch, but in the next one to make reviewing easier.
