2012-01-17audit: fix signedness bug in audit_log_execve_info()Xi Wang
In the loop, a size_t "len" is used to hold the return value of audit_log_single_execve_arg(), which returns -1 on error. In that case the error handling (len <= 0) will be bypassed since "len" is unsigned, and the loop continues with (p += len) being wrapped. Change the type of "len" to signed int to fix the error handling. size_t len; ... for (...) { len = audit_log_single_execve_arg(...); if (len <= 0) break; p += len; } Signed-off-by: Xi Wang <xi.wang@gmail.com> Signed-off-by: Eric Paris <eparis@redhat.com>

2012-01-17audit: allow interfield comparison in audit rulesEric Paris
We wish to be able to audit when a uid=500 task accesses a file which is uid=0. Or vice versa. This patch introduces a new audit filter type AUDIT_FIELD_COMPARE which takes as an 'enum' which indicates which fields should be compared. At this point we only define the task->uid vs inode->uid, but other comparisons can be added. Signed-off-by: Eric Paris <eparis@redhat.com>
2012-01-17audit: do not call audit_getname on errorEric Paris
Just a code cleanup really. We don't need to make a function call just for it to return on error. This also makes the VFS function even easier to follow and removes a conditional on a hot path. Signed-off-by: Eric Paris <eparis@redhat.com>
2012-01-17audit: only allow tasks to set their loginuid if it is -1Eric Paris
At the moment we allow tasks to set their loginuid if they have CAP_AUDIT_CONTROL. In reality we want tasks to set the loginuid when they log in and it be impossible to ever reset. We had to make it mutable even after it was once set (with the CAP) because on update and admin might have to restart sshd. Now sshd would get his loginuid and the next user which logged in using ssh would not be able to set his loginuid. Systemd has changed how userspace works and allowed us to make the kernel work the way it should. With systemd users (even admins) are not supposed to restart services directly. The system will restart the service for them. Thus since systemd is going to loginuid==-1, sshd would get -1, and sshd would be allowed to set a new loginuid without special permissions. If an admin in this system were to manually start an sshd he is inserting himself into the system chain of trust and thus, logically, it's his loginuid that should be used! Since we have old systems I make this a Kconfig option. Signed-off-by: Eric Paris <eparis@redhat.com>

2012-01-17audit: allow matching on obj_uidEric Paris

2012-01-17audit: remove audit_finish_fork as it can't be calledEric Paris
Audit entry,always rules are not allowed and are automatically changed in exit,always rules in userspace. The kernel refuses to load such rules. Thus a task in the middle of a syscall (and thus in audit_finish_fork()) can only be in one of two states: AUDIT_BUILD_CONTEXT or AUDIT_DISABLED. Since the current task cannot be in AUDIT_RECORD_CONTEXT we aren't every going to actually use the code in audit_finish_fork() since it will return without doing anything. Thus drop the code.

2012-01-17audit: inline checks for not needing to collect aux recordsEric Paris
A number of audit hooks make function calls before they determine that auxilary records do not need to be collected. Do those checks as static inlines since the most common case is going to be that records are not needed and we can skip the function call overhead. Signed-off-by: Eric Paris <eparis@redhat.com>
2012-01-17audit: drop some potentially inadvisable likely notationsEric Paris
The audit code makes heavy use of likely() and unlikely() macros, but they don't always make sense. Drop any that seem questionable and let the computer do it's thing. Signed-off-by: Eric Paris <eparis@redhat.com>
2012-01-17audit: remove AUDIT_SETUP_CONTEXT as it isn't usedEric Paris
Audit contexts have 3 states. Disabled, which doesn't collect anything, build, which collects info but might not emit it, and record, which collects and emits. There is a 4th state, setup, which isn't used. Get rid of it. Signed-off-by: Eric Paris <eparis@redhat.com>
2012-01-17audit: inline audit_syscall_entry to reduce burden on archsEric Paris
Every arch calls: if (unlikely(current->audit_context)) audit_syscall_entry() which requires knowledge about audit (the existance of audit_context) in the arch code. Just do it all in static inline in audit.h so that arch's can remain blissfully ignorant. Signed-off-by: Eric Paris <eparis@redhat.com>
2012-01-17Audit: push audit success and retcode into arch ptrace.hEric Paris
The audit system previously expected arches calling to audit_syscall_exit to supply as arguments if the syscall was a success and what the return code was. Audit also provides a helper AUDITSC_RESULT which was supposed to simplify things by converting from negative retcodes to an audit internal magic value stating success or failure. This helper was wrong and could indicate that a valid pointer returned to userspace was a failed syscall. The fix is to fix the layering foolishness. We now pass audit_syscall_exit a struct pt_reg and it in turns calls back into arch code to collect the return value and to determine if the syscall was a success or failure. We also define a generic is_syscall_success() macro which determines success/failure based on if the value is < -MAX_ERRNO. This works for arches like x86 which do not use a separate mechanism to indicate syscall failure. We make both the is_syscall_success() and regs_return_value() static inlines instead of macros. The reason is because the audit function must take a void* for the regs. (uml calls theirs struct uml_pt_regs instead of just struct pt_regs so audit_syscall_exit can't take a struct pt_regs). Since the audit function takes a void* we need to use static inlines to cast it back to the arch correct structure to dereference it. The other major change is that on some arches, like ia64, MIPS and ppc, we change regs_return_value() to give us the negative value on syscall failure. THE only other user of this macro, kretprobe_example.c, won't notice and it makes the value signed consistently for the audit functions across all archs. In arch/sh/kernel/ptrace_64.c I see that we were using regs[9] in the old audit code as the return value. But the ptrace_64.h code defined the macro regs_return_value() as regs[3]. I have no idea which one is correct, but this patch now uses the regs_return_value() function, so it now uses regs[3]. For powerpc we previously used regs->result but now use the regs_return_value() function which uses regs->gprs[3]. regs->gprs[3] is always positive so the regs_return_value(), much like ia64 makes it negative before calling the audit code when appropriate.

2012-01-17seccomp: audit abnormal end to a process due to seccompEric Paris
The audit system likes to collect information about processes that end abnormally (SIGSEGV) as this may me useful intrusion detection information.

2012-01-17audit: check current inode and containing object when filtering on major and ↵Eric Paris
minor The audit system has the ability to filter on the major and minor number of the device containing the inode being operated upon. Lets say that /dev/sda1 has major,minor 8,1 and that we mount /dev/sda1 on /boot. Now lets say we add a watch with a filter on 8,1. If we proceed to open an inode inside /boot, such as /vboot/vmlinuz, we will match the major,minor filter. Lets instead assume that one were to use a tool like debugfs and were to open /dev/sda1 directly and to modify it's contents. We might hope that this would also be logged, but it isn't. The rules will check the major,minor of the device containing /dev/sda1. In other words the rule would match on the major/minor of the tmpfs mounted at /dev. I believe these rules should trigger on either device. The man page is devoid of useful information about the intended semantics. It only seems logical that if you want to know everything that happened on a major,minor that would include things that happened to the device itself... Signed-off-by: Eric Paris <eparis@redhat.com>

2012-01-17audit: dynamically allocate audit_names when not enough space is in the ↵Eric Paris
names array This patch does 2 things. First it reduces the number of audit_names allocated in every audit context from 20 to 5. 5 should be enough for all 'normal' syscalls (rename being the worst). Some syscalls can still touch more the 5 inodes such as mount. When rpc filesystem is mounted it will create inodes and those can exceed 5. To handle that problem this patch will dynamically allocate audit_names if it needs more than 5. This should decrease the typicall memory usage while still supporting all the possible kernel operations. Signed-off-by: Eric Paris <eparis@redhat.com>
2012-01-17audit: make filetype matching consistent with other filtersEric Paris
Every other filter that matches part of the inodes list collected by audit will match against any of the inodes on that list. The filetype matching however had a strange way of doing things. It allowed userspace to indicated if it should match on the first of the second name collected by the kernel. Name collection ordering seems like a kernel internal and making userspace rules get that right just seems like a bad idea. As it turns out the userspace audit writers had no idea it was doing this and thus never overloaded the value field. The kernel always checked the first name collected which for the tested rules was always correct. This patch just makes the filetype matching like the major, minor, inode, and LSM rules in that it will match against any of the names collected. It also changes the rule validation to reject the old unused rule types. Noone knew it was there. Noone used it. Why keep around the extra code? Signed-off-by: Eric Paris <eparis@redhat.com>
2012-01-17Revert "capabitlies: ns_capable can use the cap helpers rather than lsm call"Linus Torvalds

The scenario based upon my guess. - access(2) overrides the credentials. - calls inode_permission() -- ... -- generic_permission() -- ns_capable(). - while the old ns_capable() calls security_capable(current_cred()), the new ns_capable() calls has_ns_capability(current) -- security_capable(__task_cred(t)). current_cred() returns current->cred which is effective (overridden) credentials, but __task_cred(current) returns current->real_cred (the NFSD's credential).

2012-01-13c/r: prctl: add PR_SET_MM codes to set up mm_struct entriesCyrill Gorcunov
When we restore a task we need to set up text, data and data heap sizes from userspace to the values a task had at checkpoint time. This patch adds auxilary prctl codes for that. While most of them have a statistical nature (their values are involved into calculation of /proc/<pid>/statm output) the start_brk and brk values are used to compute an allowed size of program data segment expansion. Which means an arbitrary changes of this values might be dangerous operation. So to restrict access the following requirements applied to prctl calls: - The process has to have CAP_SYS_ADMIN capability granted. - For all opcodes except start_brk/brk members an appropriate VMA area must exist and should fit certain VMA flags, such as: - code segment must be executable but not writable; - data segment must not be executable. start_brk/brk values must not intersect with data segment and must not exceed RLIMIT_DATA resource limit. Still the main guard is CAP_SYS_ADMIN capability check. Note the kernel should be compiled with CONFIG_CHECKPOINT_RESTORE support otherwise these prctl calls will return -EINVAL.

2012-01-13kdump: fix crash_kexec()/smp_send_stop() race in panic()Michael Holzheu
When two CPUs call panic at the same time there is a possible race condition that can stop kdump. The first CPU calls crash_kexec() and the second CPU calls smp_send_stop() in panic() before crash_kexec() finished on the first CPU. So the second CPU stops the first CPU and therefore kdump fails: 1st CPU: panic()->crash_kexec()->mutex_trylock(&kexec_mutex)-> do kdump 2nd CPU: panic()->crash_kexec()->kexec_mutex already held by 1st CPU ->smp_send_stop()-> stop 1st CPU (stop kdump) This patch fixes the problem by introducing a spinlock in panic that allows only one CPU to process crash_kexec() and the subsequent panic code. All other CPUs call the weak function panic_smp_self_stop() that stops the CPU itself. This function can be overloaded by architecture code. For example "tile" can use their lower-power "nap" instruction for that.

2012-01-13kdump: crashk_res init check for /sys/kernel/kexec_crash_sizeMichael Holzheu
Currently it is possible to set the crash_size via the sysfs /sys/kernel/kexec_crash_size even if no crash kernel memory has been defined with the "crashkernel" parameter. In this case "crashk_res" is not initialized and crashk_res.start = crashk_res.end = 0. Unfortunately resource_size(&crashk_res) returns 1 in this case. This breaks the s390 implementation of crash_(un)map_reserved_pages(). To fix the problem the correct "old_size" is now calculated in crash_shrink_memory(). "old_size is set to "0" if crashk_res is not initialized. With this change crash_shrink_memory() will do nothing, when "crashk_res" is not initialized. It will return "0" for "echo 0 > /sys/kernel/kexec_crash_size" and -EINVAL for "echo [not zero] > /sys/kernel/kexec_crash_size". In addition to that this patch also simplifies the "ret = -EINVAL" vs. "ret = 0" logic as suggested by Simon Horman.

2012-01-13kdump: add missing RAM resource in crash_shrink_memory()Michael Holzheu
When shrinking crashkernel memory using /sys/kernel/kexec_crash_size for the newly added memory no RAM resource is created at the moment. Example: $ cat /proc/iomem 00000000-bfffffff : System RAM 00000000-005b7ac3 : Kernel code 005b7ac4-009743bf : Kernel data 009bb000-00a85c33 : Kernel bss c0000000-cfffffff : Crash kernel d0000000-ffffffff : System RAM $ echo 0 > /sys/kernel/kexec_crash_size $ cat /proc/iomem 00000000-bfffffff : System RAM 00000000-005b7ac3 : Kernel code 005b7ac4-009743bf : Kernel data 009bb000-00a85c33 : Kernel bss <<-- here is System RAM missing d0000000-ffffffff : System RAM One result of this bug is that the memory chunk can never be set offline using memory hotplug. With this patch I insert a new "System RAM" resource for the released memory. Then the upper example looks like the following: $ echo 0 > /sys/kernel/kexec_crash_size $ cat /proc/iomem 00000000-bfffffff : System RAM 00000000-005b7ac3 : Kernel code 005b7ac4-009743bf : Kernel data 009bb000-00a85c33 : Kernel bss c0000000-cfffffff : System RAM <<-- new rescoure d0000000-ffffffff : System RAM And now I can set chunk c0000000-cfffffff offline.

2012-01-12module_param: make bool parameters really bool (core code)Rusty Russell
module_param(bool) used to counter-intuitively take an int. In fddd5201 (mid-2009) we allowed bool or int/unsigned int using a messy trick. It's time to remove the int/unsigned int option. For this version it'll simply give a warning, but it'll break next kernel version. Signed-off-by: Rusty Russell <rusty@rustcorp.com.au>

2012-01-12module_param: avoid bool abuse, add bint for special cases.Rusty Russell
For historical reasons, we allow module_param(bool) to take an int (or an unsigned int). That's going away. A few drivers really want an int: they set it to -1 and a parameter will set it to 0 or 1. This sucks: reading them from sysfs will give 'Y' for both -1 and 1, but if we change it to an int, then the users might be broken (if they did "param" instead of "param=1"). Use a new 'bint' parser for them. (ntfs has a different problem: it needs an int for debug_msgs because it's also exposed via sysctl.)

2012-01-12modules: sysfs - export: taint, coresize, initsizeKay Sievers
Recent tools do not want to use /proc to retrieve module information. A few values are currently missing from sysfs to replace the information available in /proc/modules. This adds /sys/module/*/{coresize,initsize,taint} attributes. TAINT_PROPRIETARY_MODULE (P) and TAINT_OOT_MODULE (O) flags are both always shown now, and do no longer exclude each other, also in /proc/modules. Replace the open-coded sysfs attribute initializers with the __ATTR() macro. Add the new attributes to Documentation/ABI.
