      KEYS: keyctl_get_keyring_ID() should create a session keyring if create flag set · 3ecf1b4f
      David Howells authored
      The keyctl call:
      
      	keyctl_get_keyring_ID(KEY_SPEC_SESSION_KEYRING, 1)
      
      should create a session keyring if the process doesn't have one of its own
      because the create flag argument is set - rather than subscribing to and
      returning the user-session keyring as:
      
      	keyctl_get_keyring_ID(KEY_SPEC_SESSION_KEYRING, 0)
      
      will do.
      
      This can be tested by commenting out pam_keyinit in the /etc/pam.d files and
      running the following program a couple of times in a row:
      
      	#include <stdio.h>
      	#include <stdlib.h>
      	#include <keyutils.h>
      	int main(int argc, char *argv[])
      	{
      		key_serial_t uk, usk, sk, nsk;
      		uk  = keyctl_get_keyring_ID(KEY_SPEC_USER_KEYRING, 0);
      		usk = keyctl_get_keyring_ID(KEY_SPEC_USER_SESSION_KEYRING, 0);
      		sk  = keyctl_get_keyring_ID(KEY_SPEC_SESSION_KEYRING, 0);
      		nsk = keyctl_get_keyring_ID(KEY_SPEC_SESSION_KEYRING, 1);
      		printf("keys: %08x %08x %08x %08x\n", uk, usk, sk, nsk);
      		return 0;
      	}
      
      Without this patch, I see:
      
      	keys: 3975ddc7 119c0c66 119c0c66 119c0c66
      	keys: 3975ddc7 119c0c66 119c0c66 119c0c66
      
      With this patch, I see:

      	keys: 2cb4997b 34112878 34112878 39f3c73e
      
      As can be seen, the session keyring starts off the same as the user-session
      keyring each time, but with the patch a new session keyring is created when
      the create flag is set.

      KEYS: If install_session_keyring() is given a keyring, it should install it · 99599537
      David Howells authored
      If install_session_keyring() is given a keyring, it should install it rather
      than just creating a new one anyway.  This was accidentally broken in:
      
      	commit d84f4f99
      	Author: David Howells <dhowells@redhat.com>
      	Date:   Fri Nov 14 10:39:23 2008 +1100
      	Subject: CRED: Inaugurate COW credentials
      
      The impact of that commit is that pam_keyinit no longer works correctly if
      'force' isn't specified against a login process. This is because:
      
      	keyctl_get_keyring_ID(KEY_SPEC_SESSION_KEYRING, 0)
      
      now always creates a new session keyring and thus the check whether the session
      keyring and the user-session keyring are the same is always false.  This leads
      pam_keyinit to conclude that a session keyring is installed and it shouldn't be
      revoked by pam_keyinit here if 'revoke' is specified.
      
      Any system that specifies 'force' against pam_keyinit in the PAM configuration
      files for login methods (login, ssh, su -l, kdm, etc.) is not affected since
      that bypasses the broken check and forces the creation of a new session keyring
      anyway (for which the revoke flag is not cleared) - and any subsequent call to
      pam_keyinit really does have a session keyring already installed, and so the
      check works correctly there.
      
      Reverting to the previous behaviour will cause the kernel to subscribe the
      process to the user-session keyring as its session keyring if it doesn't have a
      session keyring of its own.  pam_keyinit will detect this and install a new
      session keyring anyway (and won't clear the revert flag).
      
      This can be tested by commenting out pam_keyinit in the /etc/pam.d files and
      running the following program a couple of times in a row:
      
      	#include <stdio.h>
      	#include <stdlib.h>
      	#include <keyutils.h>
      	int main(int argc, char *argv[])
      	{
      		key_serial_t uk, usk, sk;
      		uk = keyctl_get_keyring_ID(KEY_SPEC_USER_KEYRING, 0);
      		usk = keyctl_get_keyring_ID(KEY_SPEC_USER_SESSION_KEYRING, 0);
      		sk = keyctl_get_keyring_ID(KEY_SPEC_SESSION_KEYRING, 0);
      		printf("keys: %08x %08x %08x\n", uk, usk, sk);
      		return 0;
      	}
      
      Without the patch, I see:
      
      	keys: 3884e281 24c4dfcf 22825f8e
      	keys: 3884e281 24c4dfcf 068772be
      
      With the patch, I see:
      
      	keys: 26be9c83 0e755ce0 0e755ce0
      	keys: 26be9c83 0e755ce0 0e755ce0
      
      As can be seen, with the patch, the session keyring is the same as the
      user-session keyring each time; without the patch a new session keyring is
      generated each time.

      capabilities: do not grant full privs for setuid w/ file caps + no effective caps · 4d49f671
      Zhi Li authored
      A task (when !SECURE_NOROOT) which executes a setuid-root binary will
      obtain root privileges while executing that binary.  If the binary also
      has effective capabilities set, then only those capabilities will be
      granted.  The rationale is that the same binary can carry both setuid-root
      and the minimal file capability set, so that on a filesystem not
      supporting file caps the binary can still be executed with privilege,
      while on a filesystem supporting file caps it will run with minimal
      privilege.
      
      This special case currently does NOT happen if there are file capabilities
      but no effective capabilities.  Since capability-aware programs can very
      well start with empty pE but populated pP and move those caps to pE when
      needed.  In other words, if the file has file capabilities but NOT
      effective capabilities, then we should do the same thing as if there
      were file capabilities, and not grant full root privileges.
      
      This patchset does that.

      arm: remove "optimized" SHA1 routines · 4d448714
      Linus Torvalds authored
      Since commit 1eb19a12 ("lib/sha1: use the git implementation of
      SHA-1"), the ARM SHA1 routines no longer work.  The reason? They
      depended on the larger 320-byte workspace, and now the sha1 workspace is
      just 16 words (64 bytes).  So the assembly version would overwrite the
      stack randomly.
      
      The optimized asm version is also probably slower than the new improved
      C version, so there's no reason to keep it around.  At least that was
      the case in git, where what appears to be the same assembly language
      version was removed two years ago because the optimized C BLK_SHA1 code
      was faster.

      vfs: optimize inode cache access patterns · 3ddcd056
      Linus Torvalds authored
      The inode structure layout is largely random, and some of the vfs paths
      really do care.  The path lookup in particular is already quite D$
      intensive, and profiles show that accessing the 'inode->i_op->xyz'
      fields is quite costly.
      
      We already optimized the dcache to not unnecessarily load the d_op
      structure for members that are often NULL using the DCACHE_OP_xyz bits
      in dentry->d_flags, and this does something very similar for the inode
      ops that are used during pathname lookup.
      
      It also re-orders the fields so that the fields accessed by 'stat' are
      together at the beginning of the inode structure, and roughly in the
      order accessed.
      
      The effect of this seems to be in the 1-2% range for an empty kernel
      "make -j" run (which is fairly kernel-intensive, mostly in filename
      lookup), so it's visible.  The numbers are fairly noisy, though, and
      likely depend a lot on exact microarchitecture.  So there's more tuning
      to be done.

      Boaz Harrosh authored
      ORE stands for "Objects Raid Engine"
      
      This patch is a mechanical rename of everything that was in ios.c
      and its API declaration to an ore.c and an osd_ore.h header. The ore
      engine will later be used by the pnfs objects layout driver.
      
      * File ios.c => ore.c
      
      * Declaration of types and API are moved from exofs.h to a new
        osd_ore.h
      
      * All used types are prefixed by ore_ from their exofs_ name.
      
      * Shift includes from exofs.h to osd_ore.h so osd_ore.h is
        independent, include it from exofs.h.
      
      Other than a pure rename there are no other changes. Next patch
      will move the ore into it's own module and will export the API
      to be used by exofs and later the layout driver

      exofs: ios: Move to a per inode components & device-table · 9e9db456
      Boaz Harrosh authored
      Exofs raid engine was saving on memory space by having a single layout-info,
      single pid, and a single device-table, global to the filesystem. Then passing
      a credential and object_id info at the io_state level, private for each
      inode. It would also devise this contraption of rotating the device table
      view for each inode->ino to spread out the device usage.
      
      This is not compatible with the pnfs-objects standard, demanding that
      each inode can have it's own layout-info, device-table, and each object
      component it's own pid, oid and creds.
      
      So: Bring exofs raid engine to be usable for generic pnfs-objects use by:
      
      * Define an exofs_comp structure that holds obj_id and credential info.
      
      * Break up exofs_layout struct to an exofs_components structure that holds a
        possible array of exofs_comp and the array of devices + the size of the
        arrays.
      
      * Add a "comps" parameter to get_io_state() that specifies the ids creds
        and device array to use for each IO.
      
        This enables to keep the layout global, but the device-table view, creds
        and IDs at the inode level. It only adds two 64bit to each inode, since
        some of these members already existed in another form.
      
      * ios raid engine now access layout-info and comps-info through the passed
        pointers. Everything is pre-prepared by caller for generic access of
        these structures and arrays.
      
      At the exofs Level:
      
      * Super block holds an exofs_components struct that holds the device
        array, previously in layout. The devices there are in device-table
        order. The device-array is twice bigger and repeats the device-table
        twice so now each inode's device array can point to a random device
        and have a round-robin view of the table, making it compatible to
        previous exofs versions.
      
      * Each inode has an exofs_components struct that is initialized at
        load time, with it's own view of the device table IDs and creds.
        When doing IO this gets passed to the io_state together with the
        layout.
      
      While preforming this change. Bugs where found where credentials with the
      wrong IDs where used to access the different SB objects (super.c). As well
      as some dead code. It was never noticed because the target we use does not
      check the credentials.

      exofs: Add offset/length to exofs_get_io_state · e1042ba0
      Boaz Harrosh authored
      In future raid code we will need to know the IO offset/length
      and if it's a read or write to determine some of the array
      sizes we'll need.
      
      So add a new exofs_get_rw_state() API for use when
      writeing/reading. All other simple cases are left using the
      old way.
      
      The major change to this is that now we need to call
      exofs_get_io_state later at inode.c::read_exec and
      inode.c::write_exec when we actually know these things. So this
      patch is kept separate so I can test things apart from other

      other ISS generators (OpenBSD, Solaris, etc.)
      
      Furthermore, only having 24-bits of the sequence number be truly
      unpredictable is a very serious limitation.  So the periodic
      regeneration and 8-bit counter have been removed.  We compute and
      use a full 32-bit sequence number.
      
      For ipv6, DCCP was found to use a 32-bit truncated initial sequence
      number (it needs 43-bits) and that is fixed here as well.

      We are going to use this for TCP/IP sequence number and fragment ID
      generation.
