2009-04-17netfilter: nfnetlink: return ENOMEM if we fail to create netlink socketPablo Neira Ayuso
With this patch, nfnetlink returns -ENOMEM instead of -EPERM if we fail to create the nfnetlink netlink socket during the module loading. This is exactly what rtnetlink does in this case. Ideally, it would be better if we propagate the error that has happened in netlink_kernel_create(), however, this function still does not implement this yet.

2009-04-16netfilter: nf_nat: add support for persistent mappingsPatrick McHardy
The removal of the SAME target accidentally removed one feature that is not available from the normal NAT targets so far, having multi-range mappings that use the same mapping for each connection from a single client. The current behaviour is to choose the address from the range based on source and destination IP, which breaks when communicating with sites having multiple addresses that require all connections to originate from the same IP address. Introduce a IP_NAT_RANGE_PERSISTENT option that controls whether the destination address is taken into account for selecting addresses. http://bugzilla.kernel.org/show_bug.cgi?id=12954 Signed-off-by: Patrick McHardy <kaber@trash.net>

2009-04-06netfilter: ctnetlink: fix regression in expectation handlingPablo Neira Ayuso
This patch fixes a regression (introduced by myself in commit 19abb7b: netfilter: ctnetlink: deliver events for conntracks changed from userspace) that results in an expectation re-insertion since __nf_ct_expect_check() may return 0 for expectation timer refreshing. This patch also removes a unnecessary refcount bump that pretended to avoid a possible race condition with event delivery and expectation timers (as said, not needed since we hold a reference to the object since until we finish the expectation setup). This also merges nf_ct_expect_related_report() and nf_ct_expect_related() which look basically the same.

2009-04-05audit: ignore terminating NUL in AUDIT_USER_TTY messagesMiloslav Trmac
AUDIT_USER_TTY, like all other messages sent from user-space, is sent NUL-terminated. Unlike other user-space audit messages, which come only from trusted sources, AUDIT_USER_TTY messages are processed using audit_log_n_untrustedstring(). This patch modifies AUDIT_USER_TTY handling to ignore the trailing NUL and use the "quoted_string" representation of the message if possible.

2009-04-05Audit: fix handling of 'strings' with NULL charactersMiloslav Trmac
currently audit_log_n_untrustedstring() uses audit_string_contains_control() to check if the 'string' has any control characters. If the 'string' has an embedded NULL audit_string_contains_control() will return that the data has no control characters and will then pass the string to audit_log_n_string with the total length, not the length up to the first NULL. audit_log_n_string() does a memcpy of the entire length and so the actual audit record emitted may then contain a NULL and then whatever random memory is after the NULL. Since we want to log the entire octet stream (if we can't trust the data to be a string we can't trust that a NULL isn't actually a part of it) we should just consider NULL as a control character. If the caller is certain they want to stop at the first NULL they should be using audit_log_untrustedstring.

2009-04-05audit: EXECVE record - removed bogus newlineJiri Pirko
(updated) Added hunk that changes the comment, the rest is the same. EXECVE records contain a newline after every argument. auditd converts "\n" to " " so you cannot see newlines even in raw logs, but they're there nevertheless. If you're not using auditd, you need to work round them. These '\n' chars are can be easily replaced by spaces when creating record in kernel. Note there is no need for trailing '\n' in an audit record. record before this patch: "type=EXECVE msg=audit(1231421801.566:31): argc=4 a0=\"./test\"\na1=\"a\"\na2=\"b\"\na3=\"c\"\n" record after this patch: "type=EXECVE msg=audit(1231421801.566:31): argc=4 a0=\"./test\" a1=\"a\" a2=\"b\" a3=\"c\"" Signed-off-by: Jiri Pirko <jpirko@redhat.com> Acked-by: Eric Paris <eparis@redhat.com> Signed-off-by: Al Viro <viro@zeniv.linux.org.uk>

2009-04-05ACPI: support acpi_device_ops .notify methodsBjorn Helgaas
This patch adds support for ACPI device driver .notify() methods. If such a method is present, Linux/ACPI installs a handler for device notifications (but not for system notifications such as Bus Check, Device Check, etc). When a device notification occurs, Linux/ACPI passes it on to the driver's .notify() method. In most cases, this removes the need for drivers to install their own handlers for device-specific notifications. For fixed hardware devices like some power and sleep buttons, there's no notification value because there's no control method to execute a Notify opcode. When a fixed hardware device generates an event, we handle it the same as a regular device notification, except we send a ACPI_FIXED_HARDWARE_EVENT value. This is outside the normal 0x0-0xff range used by Notify opcodes. Several drivers install their own handlers for system Bus Check and Device Check notifications so they can support hot-plug. This patch doesn't affect that usage. Signed-off-by: Bjorn Helgaas <bjorn.helgaas@hp.com> Reviewed-by: Alex Chiang <achiang@hp.com> Signed-off-by: Len Brown <len.brown@intel.com>
