From: Martin Schwidefsky <schwidefsky@de.ibm.com> while working on my mm patch for s390 I played with rmap a bit, adding BUG statements and the like. While doing so I noticed some room for improvement in rmap. Its minor stuff but anyway... The first observation is that the pte chain array doesn't have holes, meaning that from the pte_chain_idx() of the first array every slot of all following pte chain arrays are full. That is there can't be NULL pointers. The "if (!pte_paddr)" check in try_to_unmap() can be removed and if the loop in page_referenced() is started from pte_chain_idx(pc) then the "if (!pte_paddr)" in page_referenced() can be removed as well. The second observation is that the first pte array of a pte chain has at least one entry. Empty pte chain arrays are always freed immediatly after the last entry was removed. Because of that victim_i can be calculated in a simpler way. Instead of setting victim_i to -1 and then check in each loop iteration against -1 victim_i can just be set to the pte_chain_idx of the first pte chain array.

From: Martin Schwidefsky <schwidefsky@de.ibm.com> I think I found a potential race in install_page/install_file_pte. The inline function zap_pte releases pages by calling page_remove_rmap and page_cache_release. If this was the last user of a page it can get purged from the page cache and then get immediatly reused. But there might still be a tlb for this page on another cpu. The tlb is removed in the callers of zap_pte, install_page and install_file_pte, but this is too late. I admit that its a very unlikely race but never the less.. I fixed this by using the new ptep_clear_flush function that is introduced with the tlb flush optimization patch for s/390.

From: Martin Schwidefsky <schwidefsky@de.ibm.com> this is another s/390 related mm patch. It introduces the concept of physical dirty and referenced bits into the common mm code. I always had the nagging feeling that the pte functions for setting/clearing the dirty and referenced bits are not appropriate for s/390. It works but it is a bit of a hack. After the wake of rmap it is now possible to put a much better solution into place. The idea is simple: since there are not dirty/referenced bits in the pte make these function nops on s/390 and add operations on the physical page to the appropriate places. For the referenced bit this is the page_referenced() function. For the dirty bit there are two relevant spots: in page_remove_rmap after the last user of the page removed its reverse mapping and in try_to_unmap after the last user was unmapped. There are two new functions to accomplish this: * page_test_and_clear_dirty: Test and clear the dirty bit of a physical page. This function is analog to ptep_test_and_clear_dirty but gets a struct page as argument instead of a pte_t pointer. * page_test_and_clear_young: Test and clear the referenced bit of a physical page. This function is analog to ptep_test_and_clear_young but gets a struct page as argument instead of a pte_t pointer. Its pretty straightforward and with it the s/390 mm makes much more sense. You'll need the tls flush optimization patch for the patch. Comments ?

From: Martin Schwidefsky <schwidefsky@de.ibm.com> On the s/390 architecture we still have the issue with tlb flushing and the ipte instruction. We can optimize the tlb flushing a lot with some minor interface changes between the arch backend and the memory management core. In the end the whole thing is about the Invalidate Page Table Entry (ipte) instruction. The instruction sets the invalid bit in the pte and removes the tlb for the page on all cpus for the virtual to physical mapping of the page in a particular address space. The nice thing is that only the tlb for this page gets removed, all the other tlbs stay valid. The reason we can't use ipte to implement flush_tlb_page() is one of the requirements of the instruction: the pte that should get flushed needs to be *valid*. I'd like to add the following four functions to the mm interface: * ptep_establish: Establish a new mapping. This sets a pte entry to a page table and flushes the tlb of the old entry on all cpus if it exists. This is more or less what establish_pte in mm/memory.c does right now but without the update_mmu_cache call. * ptep_test_and_clear_and_flush_young. Do what ptep_test_and_clear_young does and flush the tlb. * ptep_test_and_clear_and_flush_dirty. Do what ptep_test_and_clear_dirty does and flush the tlb. * ptep_get_and_clear_and_flush: Do what ptep_get_and_clear does and flush the tlb. The s/390 specific functions in include/pgtable.h define their own optimized version of these four functions by use of the ipte. I avoid the definition of these function for every architecture I added them to include/asm-generic/pgtable.h. Since i386/x86 and others don't include this header yet and define their own version of the functions found there I #ifdef'd all functions in include/asm-generic/pgtable.h to be able to pick the ones that are needed for each architecture (see patch for details). With the new functions in place it is easy to do the optimization, e.g. the sequence ptep_get_and_clear(ptep); flush_tlb_page(vma, address); gets replace by ptep_get_and_clear_and_flush(vma, address, ptep); The old sequence still works but it is suboptimal on s/390.

From: Martin Schwidefsky <schwidefsky@de.ibm.com> - audit all 32 bit pointer accesses and make them use compat_ioctl(), because of the necessary conversion on s390 - introduce ULONG_IOCTL() which is used instead of COMPATIBLE_IOCTL() for all ioctls that have their argument encoded in 'arg' instead of the memory pointed to by arg. Same reason as above. - remove most #ifdefs in <linux/compat_ioctl.h>: They don't make any sense if the respective handlers in fs/compat_ioctl.c are not disabled as well and they are potentially harmful (the CONFIG_BLK_DEV_DM e.g. was insufficient). - comment out COMPATIBLE_IOCTL(SIOCSIFBR) and COMPATIBLE_IOCTL(SIOCGIFBR), they appear to require a handler - implement copy_in_user for s390, as needed for many handlers in fs/compat_ioctl.c - get rid of all duplicate stuff in arch/s390/kernel/compat_ioctl.c that is also in fs/compat_ioctl.c

From: Trond Myklebust <trond.myklebust@fys.uio.no> The following patch fixes a bug when initializing the intent structure in sys_uselib(): intents use the FMODE_READ convention rather than O_RDONLY.

Currently, when calling nfs_commit_file(), we check the range argument, and only commit NFS write requests that fall within the given range. This is silly, since all servers use fsync(), to honour a COMMIT call, and so will sync all pending writes to stable storage. The following patch ensures that if at least one NFS write falls within the range specified by the call to nfs_commit_file(), then we commit all outstanding writes on that file. This fixes a sometimes severe inefficiency when combining reads and writes: nfs_wb_page() is used to clear out writes prior to scheduling a read(), and can end up calling COMMIT for each page to be read.

From: Trond Myklebust <trond.myklebust@fys.uio.no> If users set the execute bit on a file, and then write to it, remove_suid() causes a flood of SETATTR calls (one per write() syscall) with no arguments to be sent down the wire. The server will in any case clear the suid bit itself without any prompting from us, so the following patch simply filters away all SETATTR requests with empty or unsupported ia_valid fields.

From: James Morris <jmorris@redhat.com> This patch is a rework of the skb audit logging code in SELinux. Rather than relying on skb header pointers, it parses the skb for specific protocols (TCP and UDP for IPv4 at this stage). This is safer for the case of locally generated raw packets, which can be malformed. It also now takes fragmented skbs into account. The new code allows the caller to parse the skb so that parsed information can be more readily re-used.

From: James Morris <jmorris@redhat.com> This patch adds a new option for Unix sockets, SO_PEERSEC, and an associated LSM hook, getpeersec. The SELinux handler is also included. The purpose of this is to allow applications to obtain each others security credentials, analagously to the existing SO_PEERCRED option. Examples of use are Security Enhanced D-BUS and Security Enhanced X. This patch was previously approved in principle by David, and has been updated with feedback from Chris Wright and extended to cover all architectures.

From: James Morris <jmorris@redhat.com> This patch adds controls to the SELinux module over the setting and inheritance of resource limits. With these controls, the ability to set hard limits can be limited to specific processes such as login, and when an untrusted process invokes a more trusted program, soft limits can be reset, thereby avoiding failures in the trusted program due to malicious setting of the soft limit by the untrusted process. Roland McGrath provided input and feedback on the patch, which was implemented by Stephen Smalley <sds@epoch.ncsc.mil>.
