f83ce3e Jake Edge 04 May 2009, 18:51:14 UTC proc: avoid information leaks to non-privileged processes By using the same test as is used for /proc/pid/maps and /proc/pid/smaps, only allow processes that can ptrace() a given process to see information that might be used to bypass address space layout randomization (ASLR). These include eip, esp, wchan, and start_stack in /proc/pid/stat as well as the non-symbolic output from /proc/pid/wchan. ASLR can be bypassed by sampling eip as shown by the proof-of-concept code at http://code.google.com/p/fuzzyaslr/ As part of a presentation (http://www.cr0.org/paper/to-jt-linux-alsr-leak.pdf) esp and wchan were also noted as possibly usable information leaks as well. The start_stack address also leaks potentially useful information.

9fffb55 David Gibson 30 April 2009, 05:25:53 UTC Move dtc and libfdt sources from arch/powerpc/boot to scripts/dtc The powerpc kernel always requires an Open Firmware like device tree to supply device information. On systems without OF, this comes from a flattened device tree blob. This blob is usually generated by dtc, a tool which compiles a text description of the device tree into the flattened format used by the kernel. Sometimes, the bootwrapper makes small changes to the pre-compiled device tree blob (e.g. filling in the size of RAM). To do this it uses the libfdt library. Because these are only used on powerpc, the code for both these tools is included under arch/powerpc/boot (these were imported and are periodically updated from the upstream dtc tree). However, the microblaze architecture, currently being prepared for merging to mainline also uses dtc to produce device tree blobs. A few other archs have also mentioned some interest in using dtc. Therefore, this patch moves dtc and libfdt from arch/powerpc into scripts, where it can be used by any architecture. The vast bulk of this patch is a literal move, the rest is adjusting the various Makefiles to use dtc and libfdt correctly from their new locations.

But NR_CPUS proportional isn't good calculation. In general, possibility of lock contention is proportional to the number of online cpus, not theorical maximum cpus (NR_CPUS). The current kernel has generic percpu-counter stuff. using it is right way. it makes code simplify and percpu_counter_read_positive() don't make underflow issue.

74641f5 Ivan Kokshaysky 30 April 2009, 22:08:49 UTC alpha: binfmt_aout fix This fixes the problem introduced by commit 3bfacef412 (get rid of special-casing the /sbin/loader on alpha): osf/1 ecoff binary segfaults when binfmt_aout built as module. That happens because aout binary handler gets on the top of the binfmt list due to late registration, and kernel attempts to execute the binary without preparatory work that must be done by binfmt_loader. Fixed by changing the registration order of the default binfmt handlers using list_add_tail() and introducing insert_binfmt() function which places new handler on the top of the binfmt list. This might be generally useful for installing arch-specific frontends for default handlers or just for overriding them.

b175dc0 Stefan Bader 30 April 2009, 22:08:44 UTC vgacon: return the upper half of 512 character fonts Uwe Geuder noted that he gets random bitmaps on a text console if he tried to type extended characters (like the e acute). For him everything above unicode 0xa0 was corrupted. After some digging there seems to be a little culprit in vgacon since the beginning of ages (well git). The function vgacon_font_get will store the number of characters correctly in font->charcount but then calls to vgacon_do_font_op(..., 0, 0). Which means only the lower 256 characters are actually stored to the fontdata. The rest is left untouched. So the next time that saved data is used, the garbled font appears. This happens on every switch between text consoles.

ae3abae Daisuke Nishimura 30 April 2009, 22:08:19 UTC memcg: fix mem_cgroup_shrink_usage() Current mem_cgroup_shrink_usage() has two problems. 1. It doesn't call mem_cgroup_out_of_memory and doesn't update last_oom_jiffies, so pagefault_out_of_memory invokes global OOM. 2. Considering hierarchy, shrinking has to be done from the mem_over_limit, not from the memcg which the page would be charged to. mem_cgroup_try_charge_swapin() does all of these things properly, so we use it and call cancel_charge_swapin when it succeeded. The name of "shrink_usage" is not appropriate for this behavior, so we change it too.

b827e49 Nick Piggin 30 April 2009, 22:08:16 UTC mm: close page_mkwrite races Change page_mkwrite to allow implementations to return with the page locked, and also change it's callers (in page fault paths) to hold the lock until the page is marked dirty. This allows the filesystem to have full control of page dirtying events coming from the VM. Rather than simply hold the page locked over the page_mkwrite call, we call page_mkwrite with the page unlocked and allow callers to return with it locked, so filesystems can avoid LOR conditions with page lock. The problem with the current scheme is this: a filesystem that wants to associate some metadata with a page as long as the page is dirty, will perform this manipulation in its ->page_mkwrite. It currently then must return with the page unlocked and may not hold any other locks (according to existing page_mkwrite convention). In this window, the VM could write out the page, clearing page-dirty. The filesystem has no good way to detect that a dirty pte is about to be attached, so it will happily write out the page, at which point, the filesystem may manipulate the metadata to reflect that the page is no longer dirty. It is not always possible to perform the required metadata manipulation in ->set_page_dirty, because that function cannot block or fail. The filesystem may need to allocate some data structure, for example. And the VM cannot mark the pte dirty before page_mkwrite, because page_mkwrite is allowed to fail, so we must not allow any window where the page could be written to if page_mkwrite does fail. This solution of holding the page locked over the 3 critical operations (page_mkwrite, setting the pte dirty, and finally setting the page dirty) closes out races nicely, preventing page cleaning for writeout being initiated in that window. This provides the filesystem with a strong synchronisation against the VM here. - Sage needs this race closed for ceph filesystem. - Trond for NFS (http://bugzilla.kernel.org/show_bug.cgi?id=12913). - I need it for fsblock. - I suspect other filesystems may need it too (eg. btrfs). - I have converted buffer.c to the new locking. Even simple block allocation under dirty pages might be susceptible to i_size changing under partial page at the end of file (we also have a buffer.c-side problem here, but it cannot be fixed properly without this patch). - Other filesystems (eg. NFS, maybe btrfs) will need to change their page_mkwrite functions themselves. [ This also moves page_mkwrite another step closer to fault, which should eventually allow page_mkwrite to be moved into ->fault, and thus avoiding a filesystem calldown and page lock/unlock cycle in __do_fault. ] [akpm@linux-foundation.org: fix derefs of NULL ->mapping] Cc: Sage Weil <sage@newdream.net> Cc: Trond Myklebust <trond.myklebust@fys.uio.no> Signed-off-by: Nick Piggin <npiggin@suse.de> Cc: Valdis Kletnieks <Valdis.Kletnieks@vt.edu> Cc: <stable@kernel.org> Signed-off-by: Andrew Morton <akpm@linux-foundation.org> Signed-off-by: Linus Torvalds <torvalds@linux-foundation.org> 02 May 2009, 22:36:09 UTC

Calling release_file() before exiting read_markers() clears that reference (and memory leak) and fopen() then succeeds. Tested on both cygwin (1.3.22) and Linux.

This shows up when ocfs2_delete_inode() runs out of credits in jbd2_journal_dirty_metadata() at "J_ASSERT_JH(jh, handle->h_buffer_credits > 0);". The test that caught this was running dirop_file_racer from the ocfs2-test suite with a 250-character filename PREFIX. Run on a 512B blocksize, it forces the orphan dir index to grow large enough to trigger. Signed-off-by: Joel Becker <joel.becker@oracle.com> 30 April 2009, 20:21:56 UTC

28e2117 Christoph Hellwig 24 February 2009, 13:39:02 UTC xfs: fix getbmap vs mmap deadlock xfs_getbmap (or rather the formatters called by it) copy out the getbmap structures under the ilock, which can deadlock against mmap. This has been reported via bugzilla a while ago (#717) and has recently also shown up via lockdep. So allocate a temporary buffer to format the kernel getbmap structures into and then copy them out after dropping the locks. A little problem with this is that we limit the number of extents we can copy out by the maximum allocation size, but I see no real way around that.

a357482 Guennadi Liakhovetski 21 April 2009, 07:22:38 UTC V4L/DVB (11561a): move media after i2c Currently drivers/media drivers are linked very early - directly after base, block, misc, and mfd and before ata, scsi, ide, input, firewire, usb, and i2c. This breaks static build of video4linux drivers, that use generic CPU i2c adapter drivers and the v4l2-subdev subsystem, because during video4linux probing the v4l2-subdev core requires a struct i2c_adapter context, which cannot be satisfied before the i2c subsystem is initialised. Moving drivers/media after drivers/i2c fixes this problem. The best way to trigger action is by submitting a patch:-) So, let's see what comes out of it - on the one hand I don't see any reason why media has to be linked this early, and nobody was able to give me one yesterday as this problem has been discussed on linux-media, OTOH, maybe indeed it would be better to move i2c the whole way up above media, but that'd be much bigger of a change, I think. -- To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe linux-media" in the body of a message to majordomo@vger.kernel.org More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html Signed-off-by: Guennadi Liakhovetski <g.liakhovetski@gmx.de> Acked-by: Jean Delvare <khali@linux-fr.org> Signed-off-by: Mauro Carvalho Chehab <mchehab@redhat.com> 29 April 2009, 18:41:13 UTC

On older kernels there was a reader/writer lock per table which was a performance bottleneck. In 2.6.30-rc, this was converted to use RCU and the counters/rules which solved the performance problems for do_table but made replacing rules much slower because of the necessary RCU grace period. This version uses a per-cpu set of spinlocks and counters to allow to table processing to proceed without the cache thrashing of a global reader lock and keeps the same performance for table updates.

13beadd Tim Abbott 28 April 2009, 15:47:15 UTC powerpc: Revert switch to TEXT_TEXT in linker script Commit edada399 broke the build on 64-bit powerpc because it moved the __ftr_alt_* sections of a file away from the .text section, causing link failures due to relative conditional branch targets being too far away from the branch instructions. This happens on pretty much all 64-bit powerpc configs. This change reverts commit edada399 while preserving the update from the *.refok sections to .ref.text that has happened since.

6983872 FUJITA Tomonori 28 April 2009, 18:24:29 UTC bio: fix memcpy corruption in bio_copy_user_iov() st driver uses blk_rq_map_user() in order to just build a request out of page frames. In this case, map_data->offset is a non zero value and iov[0].iov_base is NULL. We need to increase nr_pages for that.

0191944 Tejun Heo 28 April 2009, 03:38:33 UTC hd: fix locking hd dance around local irq and HD_IRQ enable without achieving much. It ends up transferring data from irq handler with both local irq and HD_IRQ disabled. The only place it actually does something is while transferring the first block of a request which it does with HD_IRQ disabled but local irq enabled. Unfortunately, the dancing is horribly broken from locking POV. IRQ and timeout handlers access block queue without grabbing the queue lock and running the driver in SMP configuration crashes the whole machine pretty quickly. Remove meaningless irq enable/disable dancing and add proper locking in issue, irq and timeout paths. Signed-off-by: Tejun Heo <tj@kernel.org> 28 April 2009, 18:24:20 UTC
