userns: Unbreak the unprivileged remount tests

2015-01-07T16:55:15Z

commit db86da7cb76f797a1a8b445166a15cb922c6ff85 upstream. A security fix in caused the way the unprivileged remount tests were using user namespaces to break. Tweak the way user namespaces are being used so the test works again. Signed-off-by: "Eric W. Biederman" Signed-off-by: Jiri Slaby

mnt: Update unprivileged remount test

2015-01-07T16:55:09Z

commit 4a44a19b470a886997d6647a77bb3e38dcbfa8c5 upstream. - MNT_NODEV should be irrelevant except when reading back mount flags, no longer specify MNT_NODEV on remount. - Test MNT_NODEV on devpts where it is meaningful even for unprivileged mounts. - Add a test to verify that remount of a prexisting mount with the same flags is allowed and does not change those flags. - Cleanup up the definitions of MS_REC, MS_RELATIME, MS_STRICTATIME that are used when the code is built in an environment without them. - Correct the test error messages when tests fail. There were not 5 tests that tested MS_RELATIME. Signed-off-by: Eric W. Biederman Signed-off-by: Jiri Slaby

mnt: Add tests for unprivileged remount cases that have found to be faulty

2014-09-17T14:55:10Z

commit db181ce011e3c033328608299cd6fac06ea50130 upstream. Kenton Varda discovered that by remounting a read-only bind mount read-only in a user namespace the MNT_LOCK_READONLY bit would be cleared, allowing an unprivileged user to the remount a read-only mount read-write. Upon review of the code in remount it was discovered that the code allowed nosuid, noexec, and nodev to be cleared. It was also discovered that the code was allowing the per mount atime flags to be changed. The first naive patch to fix these issues contained the flaw that using default atime settings when remounting a filesystem could be disallowed. To avoid this problems in the future add tests to ensure unprivileged remounts are succeeding and failing at the appropriate times. Acked-by: Serge E. Hallyn Signed-off-by: "Eric W.

selftests: Add test of PMU instruction counting on powerpc

2013-08-14T04:57:10Z

This commit adds a test of instruction counting using the PMU on powerpc. Although the bulk of the code is architecture agnostic, the code needs to run a precisely sized loop which is implemented in assembler. Signed-off-by: Michael Ellerman Signed-off-by: Benjamin Herrenschmidt

Pull networking updates from David Miller: "This is a re-do of the net-next pull request for the current merge window. The only difference from the one I made the other day is that this has Eliezer's interface renames and the timeout handling changes made based upon your feedback, as well as a few bug fixes that have trickeled in. Highlights: 1) Low latency device polling, eliminating the cost of interrupt handling and context switches. Allows direct polling of a network device from socket operations, such as recvmsg() and poll(). Currently ixgbe, mlx4, and bnx2x support this feature. Full high level description, performance numbers, and design in commit 0a4db187a999 ("Merge branch 'll_poll'") From Eliezer Tamir. 2) With the routing cache removed, ip_check_mc_rcu() gets exercised more than ever before in the case where we have lots of multicast addresses. Use a hash table instead of a simple linked list, from Eric Dumazet. 3) Add driver for Atheros CQA98xx 802.11ac wireless devices, from Bartosz Markowski, Janusz Dziedzic, Kalle Valo, Marek Kwaczynski, Marek Puzyniak, Michal Kazior, and Sujith Manoharan. 4) Support reporting the TUN device persist flag to userspace, from Pavel Emelyanov. 5) Allow controlling network device VF link state using netlink, from Rony Efraim. 6) Support GRE tunneling in openvswitch, from Pravin B Shelar. 7) Adjust SOCK_MIN_RCVBUF and SOCK_MIN_SNDBUF for modern times, from Daniel Borkmann and Eric Dumazet. 8) Allow controlling of TCP quickack behavior on a per-route basis, from Cong Wang. 9) Several bug fixes and improvements to vxlan from Stephen Hemminger, Pravin B Shelar, and Mike Rapoport. In particular, support receiving on multiple UDP ports. 10) Major cleanups, particular in the area of debugging and cookie lifetime handline, to the SCTP protocol code. From Daniel Borkmann. 11) Allow packets to cross network namespaces when traversing tunnel devices. From Nicolas Dichtel. 12) Allow monitoring netlink traffic via AF_PACKET sockets, in a manner akin to how we monitor real network traffic via ptype_all. From Daniel Borkmann. 13) Several bug fixes and improvements for the new alx device driver, from Johannes Berg. 14) Fix scalability issues in the netem packet scheduler's time queue, by using an rbtree. From Eric Dumazet. 15) Several bug fixes in TCP loss recovery handling, from Yuchung Cheng. 16) Add support for GSO segmentation of MPLS packets, from Simon Horman. 17) Make network notifiers have a real data type for the opaque pointer that's passed into them. Use this to properly handle network device flag changes in arp_netdev_event(). From Jiri Pirko and Timo Teräs. 18) Convert several drivers over to module_pci_driver(), from Peter Huewe. 19) tcp_fixup_rcvbuf() can loop 500 times over loopback, just use a O(1) calculation instead. From Eric Dumazet. 20) Support setting of explicit tunnel peer addresses in ipv6, just like ipv4. From Nicolas Dichtel. 21) Protect x86 BPF JIT against spraying attacks, from Eric Dumazet. 22) Prevent a single high rate flow from overruning an individual cpu during RX packet processing via selective flow shedding. From Willem de Bruijn. 23) Don't use spinlocks in TCP md5 signing fast paths, from Eric Dumazet. 24) Don't just drop GSO packets which are above the TBF scheduler's burst limit, chop them up so they are in-bounds instead. Also from Eric Dumazet. 25) VLAN offloads are missed when configured on top of a bridge, fix from Vlad Yasevich. 26) Support IPV6 in ping sockets. From Lorenzo Colitti. 27) Receive flow steering targets should be updated at poll() time too, from David Majnemer. 28) Fix several corner case regressions in PMTU/redirect handling due to the routing cache removal, from Timo Teräs. 29) We have to be mindful of ipv4 mapped ipv6 sockets in upd_v6_push_pending_frames(). From Hannes Frederic Sowa. 30) Fix L2TP sequence number handling bugs, from James Chapman." * git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/davem/net-next: (1214 commits) drivers/net: caif: fix wrong rtnl_is_locked() usage drivers/net: enic: release rtnl_lock on error-path vhost-net: fix use-after-free in vhost_net_flush net: mv643xx_eth: do not use port number as platform device id net: sctp: confirm route during forward progress virtio_net: fix race in RX VQ processing virtio: support unlocked queue poll net/cadence/macb: fix bug/typo in extracting gem_irq_read_clear bit Documentation: Fix references to defunct linux-net@vger.kernel.org net/fs: change busy poll time accounting net: rename low latency sockets functions to busy poll bridge: fix some kernel warning in multicast timer sfc: Fix memory leak when discarding scattered packets sit: fix tunnel update via netlink dt:net:stmmac: Add dt specific phy reset callback support. dt:net:stmmac: Add support to dwmac version 3.610 and 3.710 dt:net:stmmac: Allocate platform data only if its NULL. net:stmmac: fix memleak in the open method ipv6: rt6_check_neigh should successfully verify neigh if no NUD information are available net: ipv6: fix wrong ping_v6_sendmsg return value ...

Pull timer core updates from Thomas Gleixner: "The timer changes contain: - posix timer code consolidation and fixes for odd corner cases - sched_clock implementation moved from ARM to core code to avoid duplication by other architectures - alarm timer updates - clocksource and clockevents unregistration facilities - clocksource/events support for new hardware - precise nanoseconds RTC readout (Xen feature) - generic support for Xen suspend/resume oddities - the usual lot of fixes and cleanups all over the place The parts which touch other areas (ARM/XEN) have been coordinated with the relevant maintainers. Though this results in an handful of trivial to solve merge conflicts, which we preferred over nasty cross tree merge dependencies. The patches which have been committed in the last few days are bug fixes plus the posix timer lot. The latter was in akpms queue and next for quite some time; they just got forgotten and Frederic collected them last minute." * 'timers-core-for-linus' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/tip/tip: (59 commits) hrtimer: Remove unused variable hrtimers: Move SMP function call to thread context clocksource: Reselect clocksource when watchdog validated high-res capability posix-cpu-timers: don't account cpu timer after stopped thread runtime accounting posix_timers: fix racy timer delta caching on task exit posix-timers: correctly get dying task time sample in posix_cpu_timer_schedule() selftests: add basic posix timers selftests posix_cpu_timers: consolidate expired timers check posix_cpu_timers: consolidate timer list cleanups posix_cpu_timer: consolidate expiry time type tick: Sanitize broadcast control logic tick: Prevent uncontrolled switch to oneshot mode tick: Make oneshot broadcast robust vs. CPU offlining x86: xen: Sync the CMOS RTC as well as the Xen wallclock x86: xen: Sync the wallclock when the system time is set timekeeping: Indicate that clock was set in the pvclock gtod notifier timekeeping: Pass flags instead of multiple bools to timekeeping_update() xen: Remove clock_was_set() call in the resume path hrtimers: Support resuming with two or more CPUs online (but stopped) timer: Fix jiffies wrap behavior of round_jiffies_common() ...
