      inotify: start watch descriptor count at 1 · 08e53fcb
      Eric Paris authored 
      The inotify_add_watch man page specifies that inotify_add_watch() will
return a non-negative integer.  However, historically the inotify
watches started at 1, not at 0.

Turns out that the inotifywait program provided by the inotify-tools
package doesn't properly handle a 0 watch descriptor.  In 7e790dd5 we
changed from starting at 1 to starting at 0.  This patch starts at 1,
just like in previous kernels, but also just like in previous kernels
it's possible for it to wrap back to 0.  This preserves the kernel
functionality exactly like it was before the patch (neither method broke
the spec)

      inotify: tail drop inotify q_overflow events · cd94c8bb
      Eric Paris authored 
      In f44aebcc the tail drop logic of events with no file backing
(q_overflow and in_ignored) was reversed so IN_IGNORED events would
never be tail dropped.  This now means that Q_OVERFLOW events are NOT
tail dropped.  The fix is to not tail drop IN_IGNORED, but to tail drop
Q_OVERFLOW.

      notify: unused event private race · eef3a116
      Eric Paris authored 
      inotify decides if private data it passed to get added to an event was
used by checking list_empty().  But it's possible that the event may
have been dequeued and the private event removed so it would look empty.

The fix is to use the return code from fsnotify_add_notify_event rather
than looking at the list.

      x86, mce: Don't initialize MCEs on unknown CPUs · e412cd25
      Ingo Molnar authored 
      An older test-box started hanging at the following point during
bootup:

 [    0.022996] Mount-cache hash table entries: 512
 [    0.024996] Initializing cgroup subsys debug
 [    0.025996] Initializing cgroup subsys cpuacct
 [    0.026995] Initializing cgroup subsys devices
 [    0.027995] Initializing cgroup subsys freezer
 [    0.028995] mce: CPU supports 5 MCE banks

I've bisected it down to commit 4efc0670 ("x86, mce: use 64bit
machine check code on 32bit"), which utilizes the MCE code on
32-bit systems too.

The problem is caused by this detail in my config:

  # CONFIG_CPU_SUP_INTEL is not set

This disables the quirks in mce_cpu_quirks() but still enables
MCE support - which then hangs due to the missing quirk
workaround needed on this CPU:

	if (c->x86 == 6 && c->x86_model < 0x1A && banks > 0)
		mce_banks[0].init = 0;

The safe solution is to not initialize MCEs if we dont know on
what CPU we are running (or if that CPU's support code got
disabled in the config).

Also be a bit more defensive on 32-bit systems: dont do a
boot-time dump of pending MCEs not just on the specific system
that we found a problem with (Pentium-M), but earlier ones as
well.

Now this problem is probably not common and disabling CPU
support is rare - but still being more defensive in something
we turned on for a wide range of CPUs is prudent.

      x86, mce: don't log boot MCEs on Pentium M (model == 13) CPUs · c7f6fa44
      Bartlomiej Zolnierkiewicz authored 
      On my legacy Pentium M laptop (Acer Extensa 2900) I get bogus MCE on a cold
boot with CONFIG_X86_NEW_MCE enabled, i.e. (after decoding it with mcelog):

MCE 0
HARDWARE ERROR. This is *NOT* a software problem!
Please contact your hardware vendor
CPU 0 BANK 1 MCG status:
MCi status:
Error overflow
Uncorrected error
Error enabled
Processor context corrupt
MCA: Data CACHE Level-1 UNKNOWN Error
STATUS f200000000000195 MCGSTATUS 0

[ The other STATUS values observed: f2000000000001b5 (... UNKNOWN error)
  and f200000000000115 (... READ Error).

  To verify that this is not a CONFIG_X86_NEW_MCE bug I also modified
  the CONFIG_X86_OLD_MCE code (which doesn't log any MCEs) to dump
  content of STATUS MSR before it is cleared during initialization. ]

Since the bogus MCE results in a kernel taint (which in turn disables
lockdep support) don't log boot MCEs on Pentium M (model == 13) CPUs
by default ("mce=bootlog" boot parameter can be be used to get the old
behavior).

      xfs: fix locking in xfs_iget_cache_hit · bc990f5c
      Christoph Hellwig authored 
      The locking in xfs_iget_cache_hit currently has numerous problems:

 - we clear the reclaim tag without i_flags_lock which protects
   modifications to it
 - we call inode_init_always which can sleep with pag_ici_lock
   held (this is oss.sgi.com BZ #819)
 - we acquire and drop i_flags_lock a lot and thus provide no
   consistency between the various flags we set/clear under it

This patch fixes all that with a major revamp of the locking in
the function.  The new version acquires i_flags_lock early and
only drops it once we need to call into inode_init_always or before
calling xfs_ilock.

This patch fixes a bug seen in the wild where we race modifying the
reclaim tag.

      Security/SELinux: seperate lsm specific mmap_min_addr · 788084ab
      Eric Paris authored 
      Currently SELinux enforcement of controls on the ability to map low memory
is determined by the mmap_min_addr tunable.  This patch causes SELinux to
ignore the tunable and instead use a seperate Kconfig option specific to how
much space the LSM should protect.

The tunable will now only control the need for CAP_SYS_RAWIO and SELinux
permissions will always protect the amount of low memory designated by
CONFIG_LSM_MMAP_MIN_ADDR.

This allows users who need to disable the mmap_min_addr controls (usual reason
being they run WINE as a non-root user) to do so and still have SELinux
controls preventing confined domains (like a web server) from being able to
map some area of low memory.

      SELinux: call cap_file_mmap in selinux_file_mmap · 8cf948e7
      Eric Paris authored 
      Currently SELinux does not check CAP_SYS_RAWIO in the file_mmap hook.  This
means there is no DAC check on the ability to mmap low addresses in the
memory space.  This function adds the DAC check for CAP_SYS_RAWIO while
maintaining the selinux check on mmap_zero.  This means that processes
which need to mmap low memory will need CAP_SYS_RAWIO and mmap_zero but will
NOT need the SELinux sys_rawio capability.
