Reading /proc/pid/stat of another process checks if one has ptrace permissions on that process. If one does have permissions it outputs some data about the process which might have security and attack implications. If the current task does not have ptrace permissions the read still works, but those fields are filled with inocuous (0) values. Since this check and a subsequent denial is not a violation of the security policy we should not audit such denials. This can be quite useful to removing ptrace broadly across a system without flooding the logs when ps is run or something which harmlessly walks proc.

task_ in the front of a function, in the security subsystem anyway, means to me at least, that we are operating with that task as the subject of the security decision. In this case what it means is that we are using current as the subject but we use the task to get the right namespace. Who in the world would ever realize that's what task_ns_capability means just by the name? This patch eliminates the task_ns functions entirely and uses the has_ns_capability function instead. This means we explicitly open code the ns in question in the caller. I think it makes the caller a LOT more clear what is going on. Signed-off-by: Eric Paris <eparis@redhat.com> Acked-by: Serge E.

For consistency in interfaces, introduce a new interface called has_ns_capabilities_noaudit. It checks if the given task has the given capability in the given namespace.

Declare the more specific has_ns_capability first in the code and then call it from has_capability. The declaration reversal isn't stricty necessary since they are both declared in header files, but it just makes sense to put more specific functions first in the code.

Exactly like security_capable except don't audit any denials. This is for places where the kernel may make decisions about what to do if a task has a given capability, but which failing that capability is not a sign of a security policy violation. An example is checking if a task has CAP_SYS_ADMIN to lower it's likelyhood of being killed by the oom killer. This check is not a security violation if it is denied.

security_capable takes ns, cred, cap. But the LSM capable() hook takes cred, ns, cap. The capability helper functions also take cred, ns, cap. Rather than flip argument order just to flip it back, leave them alone. Heck, this should be a little faster since argument will be in the right place! Signed-off-by: Eric Paris <eparis@redhat.com>

Eric Paris authored
The capabilities framework is based around credentials, not necessarily the current task. Yet we still passed the current task down into LSMs from the security_capable() LSM hook as if it was a meaningful portion of the security decision. This patch removes the 'generic' passing of current and instead forces individual LSMs to use current explicitly if they think it is appropriate. In our case those LSMs are SELinux and AppArmor. I believe the AppArmor use of current is incorrect, but that is wholely unrelated to this patch. This patch does not change what AppArmor does, it just makes it clear in the AppArmor code that it is doing it. The SELinux code still uses current in it's audit message, which may also be wrong and needs further investigation. Again this is NOT a change, it may have always been wrong, this patch just makes it clear what is happening. Signed-off-by: Eric Paris <eparis@redhat.com>

Takashi Iwai authored
Commit 4b239f45 ("x86-64, mm: Put early page table high") causes a S4 regression since 2.6.39, namely the machine reboots occasionally at S4 resume. It doesn't happen always, overall rate is about 1/20. But, like other bugs, once when this happens, it continues to happen. This patch fixes the problem by essentially reverting the memory assignment in the older way. Signed-off-by: Takashi Iwai <tiwai@suse.de> Cc: <stable@kernel.org> Cc: Rafael J.

When allocating a set of jobs from kc->job_pool, job->master_job must be set (to point to itself) so that the mempool item gets freed when the master_job completes. master_job was introduced by commit c6ea41fb (dm kcopyd: preallocate sub jobs to avoid deadlock) Reported-by: Michael Leun <ml@newton.leun.net> Cc: Mikulas Patocka <mpatocka@redhat.com> Signed-off-by: Alasdair G Kergon <agk@redhat.com>

The ghash_update function passes a pointer to gf128mul_4k_lle which will be NULL if ghash_setkey is not called or if the most recent call to ghash_setkey failed to allocate memory. This causes an oops. Fix this up by returning an error code in the null case. This is trivially triggered from unprivileged userspace through the AF_ALG interface by simply writing to the socket without setting a key. The ghash_final function has a similar issue, but triggering it requires a memory allocation failure in ghash_setkey _after_ at least one successful call to ghash_update.

I don't usually pay much attention to the stale "?

The danger is that move_ptes() lets a migration entry dodge around behind remove_migration_pte()'s back, so it's in the old location when looking at the new, then in the new location when looking at the old. Either mremap's move_ptes() must additionally take anon_vma lock(), or migration's remove_migration_pte() must stop peeking for is_swap_entry() before it takes pagetable lock. Consensus chooses the latter: we prefer to add overhead to migration than to mremapping, which gets used by JVMs and by exec stack setup.

Due to commit 92fc43b4 ("r8169: modify the flow of the hw reset."), rtl8169_hw_reset stomps during driver shutdown on RxConfig bits which are needed for WOL on some versions of the hardware. As these bits were formerly set from the r81{0x, 68}_pll_power_down methods, factor them out for use in the driver shutdown (rtl_shutdown) handler. I favored __rtl8169_get_wol() -hardware state indication- over RTL_FEATURE_WOL as the latter has become a good candidate for removal.
