2011-06-29ahci: change 'masking port_map' printk to KERN_WARNING levelLinus Torvalds
It's not so much an error as a warning about normal Marvell crazines. So don't use KERN_ERR that ends up spamming the console even in quiet mode, it's not _that_ critical. Explained by Jeff: "Long explanation, it's a mess: Marvell took standard AHCI, and bastardized it to include a weird mode whereby PATA devices appear inside the AHCI DMA and interrupt infrastructure you're familiar with. So, PATA devices appear via pata_marvell driver, using basic legacy IDE programming interface. But SATA devices, which might also be attached to this chip, either work in under-performing mode or simply don't work at all (e.g. newer 6 Gbps devices or port multiplier attachments, NCQ, ...) On the other hand, 'ahci' driver loads and works with the chip's attached SATA devices quite beautifully, but is completely unable to drive any attached PATA devices, due to the Marvell-specific PATA-under-AHCI interface. The "masking port_map 0x7 -> 0x3" message is the ahci driver "hiding" the PATA port(s) from itself, making sure it will only drive the SATA ports it knows how to drive."

2011-06-29i2c/pca954x: Initialize the mux to disconnected statePetri Gynther
pca954x power-on default is channel 0 connected. If multiple pca954x muxes are connected to the same physical I2C bus, the parent bus will see channel 0 devices behind both muxes by default. This is bad. Scenario: -- pca954x @ 0x70 -- ch 0 (I2C-bus-101) -- EEPROM @ 0x50 | I2C-bus-1 --- | -- pca954x @ 0x71 -- ch 0 (I2C-bus-111) -- EEPROM @ 0x50 1. Load I2C bus driver: creates I2C-bus-1 2. Load pca954x driver: creates virtual I2C-bus-101 and I2C-bus-111 3. Load eeprom driver 4. Try to read EEPROM @ 0x50 on I2C-bus-101. The transaction will also bleed onto I2C-bus-111 because pca954x @ 0x71 channel 0 is connected by default.

2011-06-29AppArmor: Fix masking of capabilities in complain modeJohn Johansen
AppArmor is masking the capabilities returned by capget against the capabilities mask in the profile. This is wrong, in complain mode the profile has effectively all capabilities, as the profile restrictions are not being enforced, merely tested against to determine if an access is known by the profile. This can result in the wrong behavior of security conscience applications like sshd which examine their capability set, and change their behavior accordingly. In this case because of the masked capability set being returned sshd fails due to DAC checks, even when the profile is in complain mode. Kernels affected: 2.6.36 - 3.0.

2011-06-28TOMOYO: Make several options configurable.Tetsuo Handa
To be able to start using enforcing mode from the early stage of boot sequence, this patch adds support for activating access control without calling external policy loader program. This will be useful for systems where operations which can lead to the hijacking of the boot sequence are needed before loading the policy. For example, you can activate immediately after loading the fixed part of policy which will allow only operations needed for mounting a partition which contains the variant part of policy and verifying (e.g. running GPG check) and loading the variant part of policy. Since you can start using enforcing mode from the beginning, you can reduce the possibility of hijacking the boot sequence. This patch makes several variables configurable on build time. This patch also adds TOMOYO_loader= and TOMOYO_trigger= kernel command line option to boot the same kernel in two different init systems (BSD-style init and systemd).

2011-06-28TOMOYO: Fix lockdep warning.Tetsuo Handa
Currently TOMOYO holds SRCU lock upon open() and releases it upon close() because list elements stored in the "struct tomoyo_io_buffer" instances are accessed until close() is called. However, such SRCU usage causes lockdep to complain about leaving the kernel with SRCU lock held. This patch solves the warning by holding/releasing SRCU upon each read()/write(). This patch is doing something similar to calling kfree() without calling synchronize_srcu(), by selectively deferring kfree() by keeping track of the "struct tomoyo_io_buffer" instances.

2011-06-28TOMOYO: Change pathname for non-rename()able filesystems.Tetsuo Handa
TOMOYO wants to use /proc/self/ rather than /proc/$PID/ if $PID matches current thread's process ID in order to prevent current thread from accessing other process's information unless needed. But since procfs can be mounted on various locations (e.g. /proc/ /proc2/ /p/ /tmp/foo/100/p/ ), TOMOYO cannot tell that whether the numeric part in the string returned by __d_path() represents process ID or not. Therefore, to be able to convert from $PID to self no matter where procfs is mounted, this patch changes pathname representations for filesystems which do not support rename() operation (e.g. proc, sysfs, securityfs). Examples: /proc/self/mounts => proc:/self/mounts /sys/kernel/security/ => sys:/kernel/security/ /dev/pts/0 => devpts:/0 Signed-off-by: Tetsuo Handa <penguin-kernel@I-love.SAKURA.ne.jp> Signed-off-by: James Morris <jmorris@namei.org>
2011-06-28TOMOYO: Add policy namespace support.Tetsuo Handa
Mauras Olivier reported that it is difficult to use TOMOYO in LXC environments, for TOMOYO cannot distinguish between environments outside the container and environments inside the container since LXC environments are created using pivot_root(). To address this problem, this patch introduces policy namespace. Each policy namespace has its own set of domain policy, exception policy and profiles, which are all independent of other namespaces. This independency allows users to develop policy without worrying interference among namespaces.

2011-06-28drm/i915: forcewake fix after resetBen Widawsky
The failure is as follows: 1. Userspace gets forcewake lock, lock count >=1 2. GPU hang/reset occurs (forcewake bit is reset) 3. count is now incorrect The failure can only occur when using the forcewake userspace lock. This has the unfortunate consequence of messing up the driver as well as userspace, unless userspace closes the debugfs file, the kernel will never end up waking the GT since the refcount will be > 1. The solution is to try to recover the correct forcewake state based on the refcount. There is a period of time where userspace reads/writes may occur after the reset, before the GT has been forcewaked. The interface was never designed to be a perfect solution for userspace reads/writes, and the kernel portion is fixed by this patch.

2011-06-28md: avoid endless recovery loop when waiting for fail device to complete.NeilBrown
If a device fails in a way that causes pending request to take a while to complete, md will not be able to immediately remove it from the array in remove_and_add_spares. It will then incorrectly look like a spare device and md will try to recover it even though it is failed. This leads to a recovery process starting and instantly aborting over and over again. We should check if the device is faulty before considering it to be a spare. This will avoid trying to start a recovery that cannot proceed. This bug was introduced in 2.6.26 so that patch is suitable for any kernel since then.

When auditing the locking in i915_gem.c (for a prospective change which I then abandoned), I noticed two places where struct_mutex is not held across GEM object manipulations that would usually require it.

The interface to ->truncate_range is changing very slightly: once "tmpfs: take control of its truncate_range" has been applied, this can be applied. For now there is only a slight inefficiency while this remains unapplied, but it will soon become essential for managing shmem's use of swap. Change i915_gem_object_truncate() to use shmem_truncate_range() directly: which should also spare i915 later change if we switch from inode_operations->truncate_range to file_operations->fallocate.
