ptrace,x86: force IRET path after a ptrace_stop()

2014-07-07T01:54:15+00:00

commit b9cd18de4db3c9ffa7e17b0dc0ca99ed5aa4d43a upstream. The 'sysret' fastpath does not correctly restore even all regular registers, much less any segment registers or reflags values. That is very much part of why it's faster than 'iret'. Normally that isn't a problem, because the normal ptrace() interface catches the process using the signal handler infrastructure, which always returns with an iret. However, some paths can get caught using ptrace_event() instead of the signal path, and for those we need to make sure that we aren't going to return to user space using 'sysret'. Otherwise the modifications that may have been done to the register set by the tracer wouldn't necessarily take effect. Fix it by forcing IRET path by setting TIF_NOTIFY_RESUME from arch_ptrace_stop_needed() which is invoked from ptrace_stop().

genirq: Sanitize spurious interrupt detection of threaded irqs

2014-07-01T03:09:45+00:00

commit 1e77d0a1ed7417d2a5a52a7b8d32aea1833faa6c upstream. Till reported that the spurious interrupt detection of threaded interrupts is broken in two ways: - note_interrupt() is called for each action thread of a shared interrupt line. That's wrong as we are only interested whether none of the device drivers felt responsible for the interrupt, but by calling multiple times for a single interrupt line we account IRQ_NONE even if one of the drivers felt responsible. - note_interrupt() when called from the thread handler is not serialized. That leaves the members of irq_desc which are used for the spurious detection unprotected. To solve this we need to defer the spurious detection of a threaded interrupt to the next hardware interrupt context where we have implicit serialization. If note_interrupt is called with action_ret == IRQ_WAKE_THREAD, we check whether the previous interrupt requested a deferred check. If not, we request a deferred check for the next hardware interrupt and return. If set, we check whether one of the interrupt threads signaled success. Depending on this information we feed the result into the spurious detector. If one primary handler of a shared interrupt returns IRQ_HANDLED we disable the deferred check of irq threads on the same line, as we have found at least one device driver who cared.

ptrace: fix fork event messages across pid namespaces

2014-07-01T03:09:42+00:00

commit 4e52365f279564cef0ddd41db5237f0471381093 upstream. When tracing a process in another pid namespace, it's important for fork event messages to contain the child's pid as seen from the tracer's pid namespace, not the parent's. Otherwise, the tracer won't be able to correlate the fork event with later SIGTRAP signals it receives from the child. We still risk a race condition if a ptracer from a different pid namespace attaches after we compute the pid_t value. However, sending a bogus fork event message in this unlikely scenario is still a vast improvement over the status quo where we always send bogus fork event messages to debuggers in a different pid namespace than the forking process.

team: fix mtu setting

2014-06-26T19:12:38+00:00

[ Upstream commit 9d0d68faea6962d62dd501cd6e71ce5cc8ed262b ] Now it is not possible to set mtu to team device which has a port enslaved to it. The reason is that when team_change_mtu() calls dev_set_mtu() for port device, notificator for NETDEV_PRECHANGEMTU event is called and team_device_event() returns NOTIFY_BAD forbidding the change. So fix this by returning NOTIFY_DONE here in case team is changing mtu in team_change_mtu().

netlink: Only check file credentials for implicit destinations

2014-06-26T19:12:37+00:00

[ Upstream commit 2d7a85f4b06e9c27ff629f07a524c48074f07f81 ] It was possible to get a setuid root or setcap executable to write to it's stdout or stderr (which has been set made a netlink socket) and inadvertently reconfigure the networking stack. To prevent this we check that both the creator of the socket and the currentl applications has permission to reconfigure the network stack. Unfortunately this breaks Zebra which always uses sendto/sendmsg and creates it's socket without any privileges. To keep Zebra working don't bother checking if the creator of the socket has privilege when a destination address is specified. Instead rely exclusively on the privileges of the sender of the socket. Note from Andy: This is exactly Eric's code except for some comment clarifications and formatting fixes. Neither I nor, I think, anyone else is thrilled with this approach, but I'm hesitant to wait on a better fix since 3.15 is almost here. Note to stable maintainers: This is a mess. An earlier series of patches in 3.15 fix a rather serious security issue (CVE-2014-0181), but they did so in a way that breaks Zebra. The offending series includes: commit aa4cf9452f469f16cea8c96283b641b4576d4a7b Author: Eric W. Biederman Date: Wed Apr 23 14:28:03 2014 -0700 net: Add variants of capable for use on netlink messages If a given kernel version is missing that series of fixes, it's probably worth backporting it and this patch. if that series is present, then this fix is critical if you care about Zebra.

fs,userns: Change inode_capable to capable_wrt_inode_uidgid

2014-06-16T20:42:52+00:00

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

2014-06-11T19:03:26+00:00

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

2014-06-07T20:25:38+00:00

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.
