For any given lower inode, eCryptfs keeps only one lower file open and
multiplexes all eCryptfs file operations through that lower file. The
lower file was considered "persistent" and stayed open from the first
lookup through the lifetime of the inode.
This patch keeps the notion of a single, per-inode lower file, but adds
reference counting around the lower file so that it is closed when not
currently in use. If the reference count is at 0 when an operation (such
as open, create, etc.) needs to use the lower file, a new lower file is
opened. Since the file is no longer persistent, all references to the
term persistent file are changed to lower file.
Locking is added around the sections of code that opens the lower file
and assign the pointer in the inode info, as well as the code the fputs
the lower file when all eCryptfs users are done with it.
This patch is needed to fix issues, when mounted on top of the NFSv3
client, where the lower file is left silly renamed until the eCryptfs
inode is destroyed.

vfs_rmdir() already calls d_delete() on the lower dentry. That was being
duplicated in ecryptfs_rmdir() and caused a NULL pointer dereference
when NFSv3 was the lower filesystem.

When we use BIOS function e801 to probe memory, we should use ax/bx
(or cx/dx) as a pair, not mix and match. This was a typo during the
translation from assembly code, and breaks at least one set of
machines in the field (which return cx = dx = 0).

On occasion, it is useful for the NFS layer to distinguish between
soft timeouts and other EIO errors due to (say) encoding errors,
or authentication errors.
The following patch ensures that the default behaviour of the RPC
layer remains to return EIO on soft timeouts (until we have
audited all the callers).

If a server for some reason keeps sending NFS4ERR_DELAY errors, we can end
up looping forever inside nfs4_proc_create_session, and so the usual
mechanisms for detecting if the nfs_client is dead don't work.
Fix this by ensuring that we loop inside the nfs4_state_manager thread
instead.

There's a code path in pmcraid that can be reached via device ioctl that
causes all sorts of ugliness, including heap corruption or triggering
the OOM killer due to consecutive allocation of large numbers of pages.
Not especially relevant from a security perspective, since users must
have CAP_SYS_ADMIN to open the character device.
First, the user can call pmcraid_chr_ioctl() with a type
PMCRAID_PASSTHROUGH_IOCTL. A pmcraid_passthrough_ioctl_buffer
is copied in, and the request_size variable is set to
buffer->ioarcb.data_transfer_length, which is an arbitrary 32-bit signed
value provided by the user.
If a negative value is provided here, bad things can happen. For
example, pmcraid_build_passthrough_ioadls() is called with this
request_size, which immediately calls pmcraid_alloc_sglist() with a
negative size. The resulting math on allocating a scatter list can
result in an overflow in the kzalloc() call (if num_elem is 0, the
sglist will be smaller than expected), or if num_elem is unexpectedly
large the subsequent loop will call alloc_pages() repeatedly, a high
number of pages will be allocated and the OOM killer might be invoked.
Prevent this value from being negative in pmcraid_ioctl_passthrough().

SCSI uses request_queue->queuedata == NULL as a signal that the queue
is dying. We set this state in the sdev release function. However,
this allows a small window where we release the last reference but
haven't quite got to this stage yet and so something will try to take
a reference in scsi_request_fn and oops. It's very rare, but we had a
report here, so we're pushing this as a bug fix
The actual fix is to set request_queue->queuedata to NULL in
scsi_remove_device() before we drop the reference. This causes
correct automatic rejects from scsi_request_fn as people who hold
additional references try to submit work and prevents anything from
getting a new reference to the sdev that way.

At two points in handling device ioctls via /dev/mpt2ctl, user-supplied
length values are used to copy data from userspace into heap buffers
without bounds checking, allowing controllable heap corruption and
subsequently privilege escalation.
Additionally, user-supplied values are used to determine the size of a
copy_to_user() as well as the offset into the buffer to be read, with no
bounds checking, allowing users to read arbitrary kernel memory.

Commit 40aee729b350 ('kconfig: fix default value for choice input')
fixed some cases where kconfig would select the wrong option from a
choice with a single valid option and thus enter an infinite loop.
However, this broke the test for user input of the form 'N?', because
when kconfig selects the single valid option the input is zero-length
and the test will read the byte before the input buffer. If this
happens to contain '?' (as it will in a mips build on Debian unstable
today) then kconfig again enters an infinite loop.

The dentry hashing rules have been really quite complicated for a long
while, in odd ways. That made functions like __d_drop() very fragile
and non-obvious.
In particular, whether a dentry was hashed or not was indicated with an
explicit DCACHE_UNHASHED bit. That's despite the fact that the hash
abstraction that the dentries use actually have a 'is this entry hashed
or not' model (which is a simple test of the 'pprev' pointer).
The reason that was done is because we used the normal 'is this entry
unhashed' model to mark whether the dentry had _ever_ been hashed in the
dentry hash tables, and that logic goes back many years (commit
b3423415fbc2: "dcache: avoid RCU for never-hashed dentries").
That, in turn, meant that __d_drop had totally different unhashing logic
for the dentry hash table case and for the anonymous dcache case,
because in order to use the "is this dentry hashed" logic as a flag for
whether it had ever been on the RCU hash table, we had to unhash such a
dentry differently so that we'd never think that it wasn't 'unhashed'
and wouldn't be free'd correctly.
That's just insane. It made the logic really hard to follow, when there
were two different kinds of "unhashed" states, and one of them (the one
that used "list_bl_unhashed()") really had nothing at all to do with
being unhashed per se, but with a very subtle lifetime rule instead.
So turn all of it around, and make it logical.
Instead of having a DENTRY_UNHASHED bit in d_flags to indicate whether
the dentry is on the hash chains or not, use the hash chain unhashed
logic for that. Suddenly "d_unhashed()" just uses "list_bl_unhashed()",
and everything makes sense.
And for the lifetime rule, just use an explicit DENTRY_RCUACCEES bit.
If we ever insert the dentry into the dentry hash table so that it is
visible to RCU lookup, we mark it DENTRY_RCUACCESS to show that it now
needs the RCU lifetime rules. Now suddently that test at dentry free
time makes sense too.
And because unhashing now is sane and doesn't depend on where the dentry
got unhashed from (because the dentry hash chain details doesn't have
some subtle side effects), we can re-unify the __d_drop() logic and use
common code for the unhashing.
Also fix one more open-coded hash chain bit_spin_lock() that I missed in
the previous chain locking cleanup commit.

It's a useless abstraction for 'hlist_bl_head', and it doesn't actually
help anything - quite the reverse. All the users end up having to know
about the hlist_bl_head details anyway, using 'struct hlist_bl_node *'
etc. So it just makes the code look confusing.
And the cost of it is extra '&b->head' syntactic noise, but more
importantly it spuriously makes the hash table dentry list look
different from the per-superblock DCACHE_DISCONNECTED dentry list.
As a result, the code ended up using ad-hoc locking for one case and
special helper functions for what is really another totally identical
case in the very same function.
Make it all look and work the same.

Right now all RCU walks fall back to reference walk when CONFIG_SECURITY
is enabled, even though just the standard capability module is active.
This is because security_inode_exec_permission unconditionally fails
RCU walks.
Move this decision to the low level security module. This requires
passing the RCU flags down the security hook. This way at least
the capability module and a few easy cases in selinux/smack work
with RCU walks with CONFIG_SECURITY=y

Slub makes assumptions about page_to_nid() which are violated by
DISCONTIGMEM and !NUMA. This violation results in a panic because
page_to_nid() can be non-zero for pages in the discontiguous ranges and
this leads to a null return by get_node(). The assertion by the
maintainer is that DISCONTIGMEM should only be allowed when NUMA is also
defined. However, at least six architectures: alpha, ia64, m32r, m68k,
mips, parisc violate this. The panic is a regression against slab, so
just mark slub broken in the problem configuration to prevent users
reporting these panics.

Change the Nehalem cache events to use retired memory instruction counters
(similar to Westmere), this greatly improves the provided stats.
Using:
main ()
{
int i;
for (i = 0; i < 1000000000; i++) {
asm("mov (%%rsp), %%rbx;"
"mov %%rbx, (%%rsp);" : : : "rbx");
}
}
We find:
$ perf stat --repeat 10 -e instructions:u -e l1-dcache-loads:u -e l1-dcache-stores:u ./loop_1b_loads+stores
Performance counter stats for './loop_1b_loads+stores' (10 runs):
4,000,081,056 instructions:u # 0.000 IPC ( +- 0.000% )
4,999,502,846 l1-dcache-loads:u ( +- 0.008% )
1,000,034,832 l1-dcache-stores:u ( +- 0.000% )
1.565184942 seconds time elapsed ( +- 0.005% )
The 5b is surprising - we'd expect 1b:
$ perf stat --repeat 10 -e instructions:u -e r10b:u -e l1-dcache-stores:u ./loop_1b_loads+stores
Performance counter stats for './loop_1b_loads+stores' (10 runs):
4,000,081,054 instructions:u # 0.000 IPC ( +- 0.000% )
1,000,021,961 r10b:u ( +- 0.000% )
1,000,030,951 l1-dcache-stores:u ( +- 0.000% )
1.565055422 seconds time elapsed ( +- 0.003% )
Which this patch thus fixes.

Andi Kleen pointed out that the Intel offcore support patches were merged
without user-space tool support to the functionality:
|
| The offcore_msr perf kernel code was merged into 2.6.39-rc*, but the
| user space bits were not. This made it impossible to set the extra mask
| and actually do the OFFCORE profiling
|
Andi submitted a preliminary patch for user-space support, as an
extension to perf's raw event syntax:
|
| Some raw events -- like the Intel OFFCORE events -- support additional
| parameters. These can be appended after a ':'.
|
| For example on a multi socket Intel Nehalem:
|
| perf stat -e r1b7:20ff -a sleep 1
|
| Profile the OFFCORE_RESPONSE.ANY_REQUEST with event mask REMOTE_DRAM_0
| that measures any access to DRAM on another socket.
|
But this kind of usability is absolutely unacceptable - users should not
be expected to type in magic, CPU and model specific incantations to get
access to useful hardware functionality.
The proper solution is to expose useful offcore functionality via
generalized events - that way users do not have to care which specific
CPU model they are using, they can use the conceptual event and not some
model specific quirky hexa number.
We already have such generalization in place for CPU cache events,
and it's all very extensible.
"Offcore" events measure general DRAM access patters along various
parameters. They are particularly useful in NUMA systems.
We want to support them via generalized DRAM events: either as the
fourth level of cache (after the last-level cache), or as a separate
generalization category.
That way user-space support would be very obvious, memory access
profiling could be done via self-explanatory commands like:
perf record -e dram ./myapp
perf record -e dram-remote ./myapp
... to measure DRAM accesses or more expensive cross-node NUMA DRAM
accesses.
These generalized events would work on all CPUs and architectures that
have comparable PMU features.
( Note, these are just examples: actual implementation could have more
sophistication and more parameter - as long as they center around
similarly simple usecases. )
Now we do not want to revert *all* of the current offcore bits, as they
are still somewhat useful for generic last-level-cache events, implemented
in this commit:
e994d7d23a0b: perf: Fix LLC-* events on Intel Nehalem/Westmere
But we definitely do not yet want to expose the unstructured raw events
to user-space, until better generalization and usability is implemented
for these hardware event features.
( Note: after generalization has been implemented raw offcore events can be
supported as well: there can always be an odd event that is marginally
useful but not useful enough to generalize. DRAM profiling is definitely
*not* such a category so generalization must be done first. )
Furthermore, PERF_TYPE_RAW access to these registers was not intended
to go upstream without proper support - it was a side-effect of the above
e994d7d23a0b commit, not mentioned in the changelog.
As v2.6.39 is nearing release we go for the simplest approach: disable
the PERF_TYPE_RAW offcore hack for now, before it escapes into a released
kernel and becomes an ABI.
Once proper structure is implemented for these hardware events and users
are offered usable solutions we can revisit this issue.

* 'for-linus' of git://git.kernel.dk/linux-2.6-block:
ide: unexport DISK_EVENT_MEDIA_CHANGE for ide-gd and ide-cd
block: don't propagate unlisted DISK_EVENTs to userland
elevator: check for ELEVATOR_INSERT_SORT_MERGE in !elvpriv case too
|

check_events() implementations in both ide-gd and ide-cd are
inadequate for in-kernel event polling. Both generate media change
events continuously when certain conditions are met causing infinite
event loop between the driver and userland event handler.
As disk event now supports suppression of unlisted events, simply
de-listing DISK_EVENT_MEDIA_CHANGE from disk->events resolves the
problem. Internal handling around media revalidation will behave the
same while userland will fall back to userland event polling after
detecting the device doesn't support disk events.

DISK_EVENT_MEDIA_CHANGE is used for both userland visible event and
internal event for revalidation of removeable devices. Some legacy
drivers don't implement proper event detection and continuously
generate events under certain circumstances. For example, ide-cd
generates media changed continuously if there's no media in the drive,
which can lead to infinite loop of events jumping back and forth
between the driver and userland event handler.
This patch updates disk event infrastructure such that it never
propagates events not listed in disk->events to userland. Those
events are processed the same for internal purposes but uevent
generation is suppressed.
This also ensures that userland only gets events which are advertised
in the @events sysfs node lowering risk of confusion.

The sort insert is the one that goes to the IO scheduler. With
the SORT_MERGE addition, we could bypass IO scheduler setup
but still ask the IO scheduler to insert the request. This would
cause an oops on switching IO schedulers through the sysfs
interface, unless the disk just happened to be idle while it
occured.

While password processing we can get out of options array bound if
the next character after array is delimiter. The patch adds a check
if we reach the end.
