62f0f61 Thomas Gleixner 07 December 2007, 18:16:17 UTC hrtimers: avoid overflow for large relative timeouts Relative hrtimers with a large timeout value might end up as negative timer values, when the current time is added in hrtimer_start(). This in turn is causing the clockevents_set_next() function to set an huge timeout and sleep for quite a long time when we have a clock source which is capable of long sleeps like HPET. With PIT this almost goes unnoticed as the maximum delta is ~27ms. The non-hrt/nohz code sorts this out in the next timer interrupt, so we never noticed that problem which has been there since the first day of hrtimers. This bug became more apparent in 2.6.24 which activates HPET on more hardware.

Just a dependecy list on a number of architectures is - surprise - broken and should as per past discussions probably in most considered to be broken in most cases.

5a622f2 Alexey Dobriyan 05 December 2007, 07:45:28 UTC proc: fix proc_dir_entry refcounting Creating PDEs with refcount 0 and "deleted" flag has problems (see below). Switch to usual scheme: * PDE is created with refcount 1 * every de_get does +1 * every de_put() and remove_proc_entry() do -1 * once refcount reaches 0, PDE is freed.

d4beaf4 Jan Kara 05 December 2007, 07:45:27 UTC jbd: Fix assertion failure in fs/jbd/checkpoint.c Before we start committing a transaction, we call __journal_clean_checkpoint_list() to cleanup transaction's written-back buffers. If this call happens to remove all of them (and there were already some buffers), __journal_remove_checkpoint() will decide to free the transaction because it isn't (yet) a committing transaction and soon we fail some assertion - the transaction really isn't ready to be freed :). We change the check in __journal_remove_checkpoint() to free only a transaction in T_FINISHED state. The locking there is subtle though (as everywhere in JBD ;(). We use j_list_lock to protect the check and a subsequent call to __journal_drop_transaction() and do the same in the end of journal_commit_transaction() which is the only place where a transaction can get to T_FINISHED state. Probably I'm too paranoid here and such locking is not really necessary - checkpoint lists are processed only from log_do_checkpoint() where a transaction must be already committed to be processed or from __journal_clean_checkpoint_list() where kjournald itself calls it and thus transaction cannot change state either. Better be safe if something changes in future...

f1dad16 Pavel Emelyanov 05 December 2007, 07:45:24 UTC Avoid potential NULL dereference in unregister_sysctl_table register_sysctl_table() can return NULL sometimes, e.g. when kmalloc() returns NULL or when sysctl check fails. I've also noticed, that many (most?) code in the kernel doesn't check for the return value from register_sysctl_table() and later simply calls the unregister_sysctl_table() with potentially NULL argument. This is unlikely on a common kernel configuration, but in case we're dealing with modules and/or fault-injection support, there's a slight possibility of an OOPS. Changing all the users to check for return code from the registering does not look like a good solution - there are too many code doing this and failure in sysctl tables registration is not a good reason to abort module loading (in most of the cases).

5cd1756 Eric W. Biederman 05 December 2007, 07:45:04 UTC fix clone(CLONE_NEWPID) Currently we are complicating the code in copy_process, the clone ABI, and if we fix the bugs sys_setsid itself, with an unnecessary open coded version of sys_setsid. So just simplify everything and don't special case the session and pgrp of the initial process in a pid namespace. Having this special case actually presents to user space the classic linux startup conditions with session == pgrp == 0 for /sbin/init. We already handle sending signals to processes in a child pid namespace. We need to handle sending signals to processes in a parent pid namespace for cases like SIGCHILD and SIGIO. This makes nothing extra visible inside a pid namespace. So this extra special case appears to have no redeeming merits. Further removing this special case increases the flexibility of how we can use pid namespaces, by not requiring the initial process in a pid namespace to be a daemon. Signed-off-by: Eric W.

ce6bd42 Steven Rostedt 05 December 2007, 14:46:09 UTC futex: fix for futex_wait signal stack corruption David Holmes found a bug in the -rt tree with respect to pthread_cond_timedwait. After trying his test program on the latest git from mainline, I found the bug was there too. The bug he was seeing that his test program showed, was that if one were to do a "Ctrl-Z" on a process that was in the pthread_cond_timedwait, and then did a "bg" on that process, it would return with a "-ETIMEDOUT" but early. That is, the timer would go off early. Looking into this, I found the source of the problem. And it is a rather nasty bug at that. Here's the relevant code from kernel/futex.c: (not in order in the file) [...] smlinkage long sys_futex(u32 __user *uaddr, int op, u32 val, struct timespec __user *utime, u32 __user *uaddr2, u32 val3) { struct timespec ts; ktime_t t, *tp = NULL; u32 val2 = 0; int cmd = op & FUTEX_CMD_MASK; if (utime && (cmd == FUTEX_WAIT || cmd == FUTEX_LOCK_PI)) { if (copy_from_user(&ts, utime, sizeof(ts)) != 0) return -EFAULT; if (!timespec_valid(&ts)) return -EINVAL; t = timespec_to_ktime(ts); if (cmd == FUTEX_WAIT) t = ktime_add(ktime_get(), t); tp = &t; } [...] return do_futex(uaddr, op, val, tp, uaddr2, val2, val3); } [...] long do_futex(u32 __user *uaddr, int op, u32 val, ktime_t *timeout, u32 __user *uaddr2, u32 val2, u32 val3) { int ret; int cmd = op & FUTEX_CMD_MASK; struct rw_semaphore *fshared = NULL; if (!(op & FUTEX_PRIVATE_FLAG)) fshared = &current->mm->mmap_sem; switch (cmd) { case FUTEX_WAIT: ret = futex_wait(uaddr, fshared, val, timeout); [...] static int futex_wait(u32 __user *uaddr, struct rw_semaphore *fshared, u32 val, ktime_t *abs_time) { [...] struct restart_block *restart; restart = &current_thread_info()->restart_block; restart->fn = futex_wait_restart; restart->arg0 = (unsigned long)uaddr; restart->arg1 = (unsigned long)val; restart->arg2 = (unsigned long)abs_time; restart->arg3 = 0; if (fshared) restart->arg3 |= ARG3_SHARED; return -ERESTART_RESTARTBLOCK; [...] static long futex_wait_restart(struct restart_block *restart) { u32 __user *uaddr = (u32 __user *)restart->arg0; u32 val = (u32)restart->arg1; ktime_t *abs_time = (ktime_t *)restart->arg2; struct rw_semaphore *fshared = NULL; restart->fn = do_no_restart_syscall; if (restart->arg3 & ARG3_SHARED) fshared = &current->mm->mmap_sem; return (long)futex_wait(uaddr, fshared, val, abs_time); } So when the futex_wait is interrupt by a signal we break out of the hrtimer code and set up or return from signal. This code does not return back to userspace, so we set up a RESTARTBLOCK. The bug here is that we save the "abs_time" which is a pointer to the stack variable "ktime_t t" from sys_futex. This returns and unwinds the stack before we get to call our signal. On return from the signal we go to futex_wait_restart, where we update all the parameters for futex_wait and call it. But here we have a problem where abs_time is no longer valid. I verified this with print statements, and sure enough, what abs_time was set to ends up being garbage when we get to futex_wait_restart. The solution I did to solve this (with input from Linus Torvalds) was to add unions to the restart_block to allow system calls to use the restart with specific parameters. This way the futex code now saves the time in a 64bit value in the restart block instead of storing it on the stack. Note: I'm a bit nervious to add "linux/types.h" and use u32 and u64 in thread_info.h, when there's a #ifdef __KERNEL__ just below that. Not sure what that is there for. If this turns out to be a problem, I've tested this with using "unsigned int" for u32 and "unsigned long long" for u64 and it worked just the same. I'm using u32 and u64 just to be consistent with what the futex code uses.

3e6f049 Ilpo J\xe4rvinen 05 December 2007, 10:20:21 UTC [TCP] FRTO: Use of existing funcs make code more obvious & robust Though there's little need for everything that tcp_may_send_now does (actually, even the state had to be adjusted to pass some checks FRTO does not want to occur), it's more robust to let it make the decision if sending is allowed. State adjustments needed: - Make sure snd_cwnd limit is not hit in there - Disable nagle (if necessary) through the frto_counter == 2 The result of check for frto_counter in argument to call for tcp_enter_frto_loss can just be open coded, therefore there isn't need to store the previous frto_counter past tcp_may_send_now.

The register_ip_vs_scheduler() checks for the scheduler with the same name under the read-locked __ip_vs_sched_lock, then drops, takes it for writing and puts the scheduler in list. This is racy, since we can have a race window between the lock being re-locked for writing. The fix is to search the scheduler with the given name right under the write-locked __ip_vs_sched_lock.

In case we load lblc or lblcr module we can leak some sysctl tables if the call to register_ip_vs_scheduler() fails. I've looked at the register_ip_vs_scheduler() code and saw, that the only reason to fail is the name collision, so I think that with some 3rd party schedulers this becomes a relevant issue. No?

7cd9414 Eric Paris 26 November 2007, 23:47:40 UTC Security: round mmap hint address above mmap_min_addr If mmap_min_addr is set and a process attempts to mmap (not fixed) with a non-null hint address less than mmap_min_addr the mapping will fail the security checks. Since this is just a hint address this patch will round such a hint address above mmap_min_addr. gcj was found to try to be very frugal with vm usage and give hint addresses in the 8k-32k range. Without this patch all such programs failed and with the patch they happily get a higher address. This patch is wrappad in CONFIG_SECURITY since mmap_min_addr doesn't exist without it and there would be no security check possible no matter what. So we should not bother compiling in this rounding if it is just a waste of time.

ab5a91a Eric Paris 26 November 2007, 23:47:46 UTC Security: allow capable check to permit mmap or low vm space On a kernel with CONFIG_SECURITY but without an LSM which implements security_file_mmap it is impossible for an application to mmap addresses lower than mmap_min_addr. Based on a suggestion from a developer in the openwall community this patch adds a check for CAP_SYS_RAWIO. It is assumed that any process with this capability can harm the system a lot more easily than writing some stuff on the zero page and then trying to get the kernel to trip over itself. It also means that programs like X on i686 which use vm86 emulation can work even with mmap_min_addr set.
