KVM: VMX: enable VMXON check with SMX enabled (Intel TXT)

2010-07-05T18:11:18Z

Per document, for feature control MSR: Bit 1 enables VMXON in SMX operation. If the bit is clear, execution of VMXON in SMX operation causes a general-protection exception. Bit 2 enables VMXON outside SMX operation. If the bit is clear, execution of VMXON outside SMX operation causes a general-protection exception. This patch is to enable this kind of check with SMX for VMXON in KVM.

vfs: add NOFOLLOW flag to umount(2)

2010-07-05T18:11:15Z

commit db1f05bb85d7966b9176e293f3ceead1cb8b5d79 upstream. Add a new UMOUNT_NOFOLLOW flag to umount(2). This is needed to prevent symlink attacks in unprivileged unmounts (fuse, samba, ncpfs). Additionally, return -EINVAL if an unknown flag is used (and specify an explicitly unused flag: UMOUNT_UNUSED). This makes it possible for the caller to determine if a flag is supported or not.

The problem is in sctp_process_unk_param: if (NULL == *errp) *errp = sctp_make_op_error_space(asoc, chunk, ntohs(chunk->chunk_hdr->length)); if (*errp) { sctp_init_cause(*errp, SCTP_ERROR_UNKNOWN_PARAM, WORD_ROUND(ntohs(param.p->length))); sctp_addto_chunk(*errp, WORD_ROUND(ntohs(param.p->length)), param.v); When we allocate an error chunk, we assume that the worst case scenario requires that we have chunk_hdr->length data allocated, which would be correct nominally, given that we call sctp_addto_chunk for the violating parameter. Unfortunately, we also, in sctp_init_cause insert a sctp_errhdr_t structure into the error chunk, so the worst case situation in which all parameters are in violation requires chunk_hdr->length+(sizeof(sctp_errhdr_t)*param_count) bytes of data. The result of this error is that a deliberately malformed packet sent to a listening host can cause a remote DOS, described in CVE-2010-1173: http://cve.mitre.org/cgi-bin/cvename.cgi?name=2010-1173 I've tested the below fix and confirmed that it fixes the issue. We move to a strategy whereby we allocate a fixed size error chunk and ignore errors we don't have space to report.

tmpfs: insert tmpfs cache pages to inactive list at first

2010-07-05T18:10:51Z

commit e9d6c157385e4efa61cb8293e425c9d8beba70d3 upstream. Shaohua Li reported parallel file copy on tmpfs can lead to OOM killer. This is regression of caused by commit 9ff473b9a7 ("vmscan: evict streaming IO first"). Wow, It is 2 years old patch! Currently, tmpfs file cache is inserted active list at first. This means that the insertion doesn't only increase numbers of pages in anon LRU, but it also reduces anon scanning ratio. Therefore, vmscan will get totally confused. It scans almost only file LRU even though the system has plenty unused tmpfs pages. Historically, lru_cache_add_active_anon() was used for two reasons. 1) Intend to priotize shmem page rather than regular file cache. 2) Intend to avoid reclaim priority inversion of used once pages. But we've lost both motivation because (1) Now we have separate anon and file LRU list. then, to insert active list doesn't help such priotize. (2) In past, one pte access bit will cause page activation. then to insert inactive list with pte access bit mean higher priority than to insert active list. Its priority inversion may lead to uninteded lru chun. but it was already solved by commit 645747462 (vmscan: detect mapped file pages used only once). (Thanks Hannes, you are great!) Thus, now we can use lru_cache_add_anon() instead.

revert "procfs: provide stack information for threads" and its fixup commits

2010-05-26T21:29:19Z

commit 34441427aab4bdb3069a4ffcda69a99357abcb2e upstream. Originally, commit d899bf7b ("procfs: provide stack information for threads") attempted to introduce a new feature for showing where the threadstack was located and how many pages are being utilized by the stack. Commit c44972f1 ("procfs: disable per-task stack usage on NOMMU") was applied to fix the NO_MMU case. Commit 89240ba0 ("x86, fs: Fix x86 procfs stack information for threads on 64-bit") was applied to fix a bug in ia32 executables being loaded. Commit 9ebd4eba7 ("procfs: fix /proc//stat stack pointer for kernel threads") was applied to fix a bug which had kernel threads printing a userland stack address. Commit 1306d603f ('proc: partially revert "procfs: provide stack information for threads"') was then applied to revert the stack pages being used to solve a significant performance regression. This patch nearly undoes the effect of all these patches. The reason for reverting these is it provides an unusable value in field 28. For x86_64, a fork will result in the task->stack_start value being updated to the current user top of stack and not the stack start address. This unpredictability of the stack_start value makes it worthless. That includes the intended use of showing how much stack space a thread has. Other architectures will get different values. As an example, ia64 gets 0. The do_fork() and copy_process() functions appear to treat the stack_start and stack_size parameters as architecture specific. I only partially reverted c44972f1 ("procfs: disable per-task stack usage on NOMMU") . If I had completely reverted it, I would have had to change mm/Makefile only build pagewalk.o when CONFIG_PROC_PAGE_MONITOR is configured. Since I could not test the builds without significant effort, I decided to not change mm/Makefile. I only partially reverted 89240ba0 ("x86, fs: Fix x86 procfs stack information for threads on 64-bit") . I left the KSTK_ESP() change in place as that seemed worthwhile.

tracing: Fix ftrace_event_call alignment for use with gcc 4.5

2010-05-12T21:57:14Z

commit 86c38a31aa7f2dd6e74a262710bf8ebf7455acc5 upstream. GCC 4.5 introduces behavior that forces the alignment of structures to use the largest possible value. The default value is 32 bytes, so if some structures are defined with a 4-byte alignment and others aren't declared with an alignment constraint at all - it will align at 32-bytes. For things like the ftrace events, this results in a non-standard array. When initializing the ftrace subsystem, we traverse the _ftrace_events section and call the initialization callback for each event. When the structures are misaligned, we could be treating another part of the structure (or the zeroed out space between them) as a function pointer. This patch forces the alignment for all the ftrace_event_call structures to 4 bytes. Without this patch, the kernel fails to boot very early when built with gcc 4.5. It's trivial to check the alignment of the members of the array, so it might be worthwhile to add something to the build system to do that automatically. Unfortunately, that only covers this case. I've asked one of the gcc developers about adding a warning when this condition is seen.
