fs,userns: Change inode_capable to capable_wrt_inode_uidgid

2014-06-16T20:42:52Z

commit 23adbe12ef7d3d4195e80800ab36b37bee28cd03 upstream. The kernel has no concept of capabilities with respect to inodes; inodes exist independently of namespaces. For example, inode_capable(inode, CAP_LINUX_IMMUTABLE) would be nonsense. This patch changes inode_capable to check for uid and gid mappings and renames it to capable_wrt_inode_uidgid, which should make it more obvious what it does. Fixes CVE-2014-4014.

perf: Drop sample rate when sampling is too slow

2014-06-11T19:03:26Z

commit 14c63f17b1fde5a575a28e96547a22b451c71fb5 upstream. This patch keeps track of how long perf's NMI handler is taking, and also calculates how many samples perf can take a second. If the sample length times the expected max number of samples exceeds a configurable threshold, it drops the sample rate. This way, we don't have a runaway sampling process eating up the CPU. This patch can tend to drop the sample rate down to level where perf doesn't work very well. *BUT* the alternative is that my system hangs because it spends all of its time handling NMIs. I'll take a busted performance tool over an entire system that's busted and undebuggable any day. BTW, my suspicion is that there's still an underlying bug here. Using the HPET instead of the TSC is definitely a contributing factor, but I suspect there are some other things going on. But, I can't go dig down on a bug like that with my machine hanging all the time.

genirq: Provide irq_force_affinity fallback for non-SMP

2014-06-07T20:25:38Z

commit 4c88d7f9b0d5fb0588c3386be62115cc2eaa8f9f upstream. Patch 01f8fa4f01d "genirq: Allow forcing cpu affinity of interrupts" added an irq_force_affinity() function, and 30ccf03b4a6 "clocksource: Exynos_mct: Use irq_force_affinity() in cpu bringup" subsequently uses it. However, the driver can be used with CONFIG_SMP disabled, but the function declaration is only available for CONFIG_SMP, leading to this build error: drivers/clocksource/exynos_mct.c:431:3: error: implicit declaration of function 'irq_force_affinity' [-Werror=implicit-function-declaration] irq_force_affinity(mct_irqs[MCT_L0_IRQ + cpu], cpumask_of(cpu)); This patch introduces a dummy helper function for the non-SMP case that always returns success, to get rid of the build error. Since the patches causing the problem are marked for stable backports, this one should be as well.

genirq: Allow forcing cpu affinity of interrupts

2014-06-07T20:25:29Z

commit 01f8fa4f01d8362358eb90e412bd7ae18a3ec1ad upstream. The current implementation of irq_set_affinity() refuses rightfully to route an interrupt to an offline cpu. But there is a special case, where this is actually desired. Some of the ARM SoCs have per cpu timers which require setting the affinity during cpu startup where the cpu is not yet in the online mask. If we can't do that, then the local timer interrupt for the about to become online cpu is routed to some random online cpu. The developers of the affected machines tried to work around that issue, but that results in a massive mess in that timer code. We have a yet unused argument in the set_affinity callbacks of the irq chips, which I added back then for a similar reason. It was never required so it got not used. But I'm happy that I never removed it. That allows us to implement a sane handling of the above scenario. So the affected SoC drivers can add the required force handling to their interrupt chip, switch the timer code to irq_force_affinity() and things just work. This does not affect any existing user of irq_set_affinity(). Tagged for stable to allow a simple fix of the affected SoC clock event drivers.

ftrace/module: Hardcode ftrace_module_init() call into load_module()

2014-06-07T20:25:28Z

commit a949ae560a511fe4e3adf48fa44fefded93e5c2b upstream. A race exists between module loading and enabling of function tracer. CPU 1 CPU 2 ----- ----- load_module() module->state = MODULE_STATE_COMING register_ftrace_function() mutex_lock(&ftrace_lock); ftrace_startup() update_ftrace_function(); ftrace_arch_code_modify_prepare() set_all_module_text_rw(); ftrace_arch_code_modify_post_process() set_all_module_text_ro(); [ here all module text is set to RO, including the module that is loading!! ] blocking_notifier_call_chain(MODULE_STATE_COMING); ftrace_init_module() [ tries to modify code, but it's RO, and fails! ftrace_bug() is called] When this race happens, ftrace_bug() will produces a nasty warning and all of the function tracing features will be disabled until reboot. The simple solution is to treate module load the same way the core kernel is treated at boot. To hardcode the ftrace function modification of converting calls to mcount into nops. This is done in init/main.c there's no reason it could not be done in load_module(). This gives a better control of the changes and doesn't tie the state of the module to its notifiers as much. Ftrace is special, it needs to be treated as such. The reason this would work, is that the ftrace_module_init() would be called while the module is in MODULE_STATE_UNFORMED, which is ignored by the set_all_module_text_ro() call.

libata/ahci: accommodate tag ordered controllers

2014-05-13T11:59:43Z

commit 8a4aeec8d2d6a3edeffbdfae451cdf05cbf0fefd upstream. The AHCI spec allows implementations to issue commands in tag order rather than FIFO order: 5.3.2.12 P:SelectCmd HBA sets pSlotLoc = (pSlotLoc + 1) mod (CAP.NCS + 1) or HBA selects the command to issue that has had the PxCI bit set to '1' longer than any other command pending to be issued. The result is that commands posted sequentially (time-wise) may play out of sequence when issued by hardware. This behavior has likely been hidden by drives that arrange for commands to complete in issue order. However, it appears recent drives (two from different vendors that we have found so far) inflict out-of-order completions as a matter of course. So, we need to take care to maintain ordered submission, otherwise we risk triggering a drive to fall out of sequential-io automation and back to random-io processing, which incurs large latency and degrades throughput. This issue was found in simple benchmarks where QD=2 seq-write performance was 30-50% *greater* than QD=32 seq-write performance. Tagging for -stable and making the change globally since it has a low risk-to-reward ratio. Also, word is that recent versions of an unnamed OS also does it this way now. So, drives in the field are already experienced with this tag ordering scheme.

nfsd: check passed socket's net matches NFSd superblock's one

2014-05-06T14:55:29Z

commit 3064639423c48d6e0eb9ecc27c512a58e38c6c57 upstream. There could be a case, when NFSd file system is mounted in network, different to socket's one, like below: "ip netns exec" creates new network and mount namespace, which duplicates NFSd mount point, created in init_net context. And thus NFS server stop in nested network context leads to RPCBIND client destruction in init_net. Then, on NFSd start in nested network context, rpc.nfsd process creates socket in nested net and passes it into "write_ports", which leads to RPCBIND sockets creation in init_net context because of the same reason (NFSd monut point was created in init_net context). An attempt to register passed socket in nested net leads to panic, because no RPCBIND client present in nexted network namespace. This patch add check that passed socket's net matches NFSd superblock's one. And returns -EINVAL error to user psace otherwise. v2: Put socket on exit.
